I was forced to browse to know what channels are available in the western countries. Because all news channels on dstv seem controlled to me. BBC and shamefully aljazera are all reporting this incident from only one view. I am yet to see any analysis that is just and exposes the true picture of what is happening in Ukraine. How come no one is really talking about the stupidity of zelensky and the dumbness of his decision to join NATO in the first place.
If this war did not happen, many would still be in the dark as to the West's actual operations. Everyone thought they would go sword in hands with Ukraine and fight their fate. But they pulled back. They cheered them on from a distance. They gave a thousand excuses and now are relying on sanctions that will drag many European countries and even Africa to a severe economic depression. They will only empower the Chinese yen and deplete dollar and Euro. No one is critically analysing USA's exploit in other climes to see how they brought many countries to ruins. They reduced democracy to its trellises in many places for reasons less threatening than the reason Russia is moved to war. I am with Donald trump on the weaponized use of media to brainwash educated people.
Well.. If this war endures for a month, we will now buy bread for 5k and a salary of 500k monthly will be insufficient for a family of six

Lol. African ignoramuses prepare to be exploited.

USA's alternative is Venezuela. The country that they have successfully rendered useless.
For those of you that don't know Venezuela. She is the country with highest oil deposit in the world but thanks to USA, they are unstable, destabilised and witness tons of USA sponsored coups/attacks on their presidency whenever they are trying to make progress to stop/push USA out.
Did I forget to tell you ignoramuses that they are "independent?" Yes they are but such (Democracy and Independence) doesn't matter when it is USA.


You only support the West/USA when you know nothing, or being controlled by their media.

Read you won't read. Even if they boycott Russian Oil (US and Japan) it makes no difference. The rising cost of oil and gas will ensure Russian revenues will not reduce. In fact it will increase. Secondly Venezuelan Oil is heavy and costs more to process which will mean increased cost to the end user in America and Japan si it is not a long term solution.

I think the present president is just naive and inexperienced that why things went bad.
He can reverse and correct his mistakes.
I have analysed the situation. He is 100% a western stooge and he knows exactly what he is doing. They are just sacrificing the life of Ukrainians for the establishment of nato in Ukraine. Nato forces are already fighting against Russia, in form of volunteers forces, but they didn't really make it public. This is why Russia has taken over there sky. Making effort to take over there access to sea port and bombing there airports. They want to cut off supply of army and weapons.in about ten days, this war will be over. The negotiations are nothing but a waste of time. Putin will prevail and install a pro Russia regime and zelenskyy will go on exile.

Putin not wanting Ukraine to join NATO is the same as NATO invading Russian terrains.

NATO is the major reason there is war there. Gerrit?

Your last statement reeks of deliberate nonsense.

Now sit down gently and read what you wrote " These sanctions are affecting Europe more than it is affecting Russia "


Then ask your brain " Did you just write this?"

The sanctions doesn't move or deter Putin.

you said China can buy all the services the west buys from Russia thus rendering the sanctions ineffective which is why I pointed out how wrong that analysis is.

now you've brought this other point up? Which western country is Russia selling military gadgets to?
Biden didn't not mentioned the sanctions, he said Russia will be sanctioned and they are. For now it's the Oligarchs that are being heavily sanctioned not Russia itself as a country. They are slowly moving in that direction as the war drags on.
You guys really need to understand what sanctions entails.
Russia only provides 40% of the gas Europe needs, how is 40% bigger than 60% that you're saying Europe is feeling the sanctions more than Russia?

Russia that's Ruble is at an all time low. You know how you guys complain about how useless the Naira purchasing power is, that's how Ruble is right now now yet you say Europe is feeling it more

Those sanctions doesn't deter Putin.

Oga Europeans don't think like me and you. They are more interested in humanity than any other thing else. So they will just make necessary adjustments to cut costs. Instead of rising against their governments they will boycott more Russian goods and services.

After the 9/11 attacks, Canada welcomed 33,000 passengers, housed them and gave them food as US closed their air space.

Now Poland is doing same to Fleeing Ukrainian s. But how many countries in Africa will do that to a neighbor country in distress. These guys think humanity first.

All these rant on top Ukraine and Russia Matter?

Wetin concern me about who no care about me and my brothers and sisters?

I'm more concerned about my brothers and sisters suffering untold hardship due to our incompetent leaders being aided and teleguided by the same ones you are holding forth for.

I am more concerned about my people fleeing hunger, insecurity and poverty through whatever means particularly through the deserts and seas while losing their lives.

I am neither white nor black my brother. I am me and God's creation. You can chose whatever colour pleases and makes you sleep well at night.

Nothing concern you and you know that. Why then did you continue to quote me up and down. You're neither black or white. That's highest form of self denial. And who told you you are God's creation? If you are God's creation as you said, you must belong to a genus, class, tribe race and colour. You cannot be colourless, tribeless, raceless, classless etc. Unless your an object like smartphones , tables grin grin

It's rant to you. Then shut up , to us we are not ranting we got classmates, friends in Ukraine. Whom the Ukrainian government gave scholarships etc. They will become better tomorrow and come back to impact lives here.

Sorry to say this you are narrow minded. You think humanity thinks about high cost of fuel and water. Typical African, Blackman "me and my family thinking"

US has turned to Venezuela and Africa for Oil
US has sent several envoys to Venezuela last week to negotiate oil with Venezuela

Venezuela has just dumped Putin and Russia and realigned with US
Putin is a useless mofo, he has no influence
The same Venezuela they have been at loggerheads with for over a decade, the same Nigeria they stopped buying our oil. When we call them snakes, who are neither here or there the pro Yankees get angry.

To resolve these issues, i think the U.S and NATO should allow Russia to take their wife(Ukraine) back. But seems like Ukraine(the wife of Russia) prefer Sugar Daddies.

This is another thing that is annoying Putin. E.g Me and u dey fight. The fight come get as e be because i come get upper hand. Ur colleagues wey u think go join hand to fight me, no join hand but dey give Weapons to fight me, that's what is aggrivating Putin to intensify his attack on Ukraine. Read abt Trump's mockery proverb he indirectly used that, the U.S should cause the Russians and Chinese to fight while the U.S and NATO watch them, u will get my point.

the question is, did NATO defend Ukraine? Or won't NATO guild NATO member country around the area? Won't they be at alert?

Before the invasion of Ukraine, there was negotiations between Russia and NATO that Ukraine should maintain it's neutral status by not becoming a member but there was no headway in negotiations, Presently there are no NATO forces in Ukraine, NATO forces in Ukraine will lead to escalation to a full scale war. What NATO is doing is rallying up allies in case there is an escalation beyond Ukraine. If today NATO guarantee Russia that Ukraine maintain neutral status by not becoming a member of NATO and there is an accord to that effect, the invasion will stop and troops pull out. What Russia wants is total demilitarization of Ukraine.

but why will Russia dictate to Ukraine on NATO stand. If Ukraine want to join NATO, what's Russia problem? There are many countries under NATO around Russia border. So why will he dictate to Ukraine?

Russia is their highest supplier . Venezuela will just tear eye for them this time

That’s a big fat lie!! The U.S. does not import gas from Russia, but Europe relies on natural gas from Russia for a third of its supply. A third of its supply I repeat.

The biggest share of imports came from Canada (61%) followed by Mexico (10%), Saudi Arabia (6%) and Russia (3%). So Russia can be easily cut off. Stop talking without facts

Some time l imagine how some people reason..

Let me as these questions and make some matter clear here.

1) how does Ukraine russian fight affect Nigeria or even africa. Apart from africans studying there due to poor educational system across africa.... We need to wake up and build africa and rise up to our challenge. Africans are blessed both in human resources and mineral resources.

2) is russia or Ukraine buying oil from any of the countries in Africa ?
My put on this is, oil price is on the increase on international market and nobody is talking about this. Any oil producing countries are making money because of high demand of oil across the globe as a result of sanction against russia

Russia invasion to a peaceful ukraine is an evil decision. Ukraine is an independent country and have sovereignty to choose what they like either to join NATO or EU is their own choice

For
your information, USA is a world leading and super power country they have power to veto any matters that can serve as a threat to the world peace and you cannot in any regard compare them or their actions to any country...

May the peace of the Lord be upon the entire world and cause the war to cease in Jesus mighty Name. Amen...
