The President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has said Nigeria is ready to sanction Russia for invading Ukraine in line with the United Nations’ resolution to “adopt and impose sanctions” on the country.

“On imposing (the) sanction, this is going to be a collective action. The United Nations has to act,” disclosed Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister Geoffrey Onyeama in an interview with Channels TV on Monday night.

He added, “We are going to act and engage within the framework of the United Nations. So if the United Nations adopts and imposes sanctions against Russia, we will comply with UN’s resolution.”

Onyeama condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to wage war against Ukraine.

“We made that very clear; we condemned it. First of all, military force is not the solution. We have spoken up about the territorial integrity that we recognise the integrity of Ukraine,” insisted the minister. “Nigeria’s position on the resolution is very clear, that we do not condone this military intervention in another country.”

Thousands of Nigerians have been caught in the Russia-Ukraine war, with the federal government frantic to get them out of Ukraine.

It directed Nigerians fleeing Ukraine to head to Hungarian or Romanian borders for easy access.

“For now, movement to the Hungarian Zahony border and Romanian Suceava, Tulcea, Satu Mare County, and Maramures borders is advised, as they approved visa-free access to all Nigerians coming from Ukraine and arrangement for accommodation and feeding before evacuation is arranged,” said permanent secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs, Gabriel Aduda in a statement.

Nigerian embassies in Romania, Hungary, and Poland have received over 256 stranded Nigerians from Ukraine while awaiting the arrival of 200 more in the coming days, said Aduda.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine last week, with neighbouring Belarus effectively used as a stageng post for the Russian military.

Is today April fool's day?

Cause I am not understanding what the business of a chicken is in the matters of a pack of wolves.

Make all these African countries just stay away from what is happening with NATO and Russia and remain the third world they are!

Not any of them will play a sincere role when any of the African countries is in problem

Nigeria occupies strategic positions in the international community,Example is Ngozi iwela as head of WTO,keeping mum could be interpreted as support for Russia's aggression on Ukraine,hence pressure from international partners. International politics no be child's play.

Hmmm
The nairaland islamabad crew like SarkinYakin,SlyDev,Helinues will commit suicide cos of this news ooo.
Buhari,how dare you?
Don't you know that any ally of America is automatically considered an enemy by Monsurudeens?

Jokers

Wait what were you expecting? refuse?
Maybe you Want Nigeria's economy to crash if they do refuse or don't comply..
All hail America..

Nigeria government don't have no choice tho..do they?let them enjoy.. without the west what are they?how can they survive?they are like empty drums...

True facts no hate..

Make una just leave this Russia thing alone make we face our own trouble here....no go dey do pass yourself

But Una no dey comply when it comes to the welfare of your citizens. Nonsense.

I don't know why I am finding this funny

Anywhere belle face Gov't . Gov't that cannot think beyond his pants

After we have sanctioned them, they will surrender.

The north will stop the exportation of onion, tomato, cow meat and other food items to Russia, hence increasing their level of food scarcity and hunger

The south south will bomb oil pipelines in order to prevent Russia from accessing our oil, that will affect their oil business

The south east will withdraw their businesses in Russia, hence their economy will fall in seconds

Them never see anything. Putin go run mad las las

Thank God I'm not a Nigerian!

What sanctions exactly can Nigeria impose on Russia please

This man no well oo

Nigeria should ban Russia for exporting toothpick to Nigeria


Small yansh too dey shake ohh

People that should be sanctioned sanctioning others

Awa daddy Bubu should face the NORTH and leave anything that has to do with Russia alone.

Me I cannot fight o. Ehnhen

Club jokers ���

...what are they feeling like?

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, I appeal to President Buhari to arrest and detain all Russian embassy officials in abuja as a retaliation for their crimes in Ukraine. DSS should raid all Russians living in Nigeria and jail them. If possible the federal government should send Nukes to the Kremlin to teach them a bitter lesson

Nigeria will show Russia pepper

If you no comply no loan for una

Used and dumped by caring communists

But make Africa stay out of this wahala

Yes o, useless Russia, contribute nothing other than weapons

This jokes sweet baje..

Nigeria don put mouth? When we have our problem? Screw Nigeria!

This man is a fool, there's no UN sanctions on Russia, the sanctions are being imposed by the EU and NATO neither of which we are a member of. These fools should keep their dirty mouth out of something that doesn't concern them.

Na now day just break..abi?
