plaindealer: I never for once say they are now paying in rubble. I laid the facts of the case and ended the discussion with you. It was you who made it seem that I did not comprehend the article. I decided to take a minute to show you that I did. From your stance, it is clear to me you are only interested in winning an argument. Let's just agree to disagree. Good night. |

pargelenis:��❗“The embargo on Russian gas will not stop the war in Ukraine” - Scholz told why the EU does not impose an embargo. The German Prime Minister said that Berlin cannot refuse Russian energy sources, as this will greatly harm the economy and at the same time will not help stop the war in Ukraine. According to him, Germany wants to avoid a dramatic economic crisis and the loss of millions of jobs and industries. |

Parachoko: Most sensible people in Europe know that there’s no alternative to cheap Russia gas. The only alternative is bankruptcy and de-industrialisation. Europe is already lagging behind the emerging powerhouses in the east (Asia) and they need cheap Russian gas to remain competitive. A lot of European leaders are just American globalist slaves/puppet and it isn’t shocking because those who run things have Nazi backgrounds like their American counterparts. Smart Europeans know Russia can’t lose the war in Ukraine and you can’t win an economic war of sanctions against a resource rich country since the economy is backed by resources. And now that Russia has taken its gloves over and has started turning the cannon fodder in Ukraine into meat grinder - Europe has started coming back to its senses. America is still importing Russia oil/gas while trying to resell it to Europe at a more expensive price for profit. Americans are nuts! Anyway, once Russia finish crushing Ukraine - if things don’t escalate because I expect the US to escalate things (probably between June/July) - keep an eye on Francophone African countries. Especially Mali, CAR and Burkina Faso. The proxy war is going to shift there and this might be the chance for those countries to finally break free from French colonisation. 5 Likes |

AldrichAmes: lol... EU ran to Nigeria to beg for Gas supplies. Nigeria is the largest producer and exporter of LNG in Africa and is about to dominate even further with our 7th LNG train. Do you think the EU is stupid for going to Nigeria because they don't know what we have in the ground or our capacity to sell more to the EU? Sure, Nigeria can not satisfy EU's total gas needs, but is it not obvious that the EU is sourcing gas from all over the world? Do we sell our crude to just one customer? I don't get your point. It is not by force to always hate Nigeria because half of your post is just fluff.

skoskosko: So, when the EU pay into that account, are they doing so in Rubble and who is converting the payment into rubble. They could be paying Polaris in Nigeria and Polaris converting the payment into Rubble, it doesn't matter. Once the EU is done paying in Euro and Dollars per their policy, what Russia does with payment is their business. Bottomline, the EU is not handing over Rubble to any bank or to PouTin. |

plaindealer: Sourcing doesn’t mean it can replace. You can’t give what you don’t have. EU also went to Qatar and Qatar which produces more natural gas than Nigeria told them it can’t replace Russia and that it can only replace a fraction of what they get from Russia. Russia owns 25% of global natural gas reserve while Iran owns 17% and Qatar owns 12%. Only Iran and Qatar coming together can replace Russia. And Iran is out of the equation. Also, with Qatar’s fraction, it won’t be that cheap and they’d have to pay almost twice what they’re paying for Russian gas. So, it’s common sense to buy from the cheapest option without the unnecessary overhead - especially for a region that’s almost bankrupt and needs to remain competitive with the emerging powerhouses in Asia. Past glory won’t cut it. That said, Nigeria is not that relevant in the scheme of things globally when it comes to oil/gas and it’s not a big player. Small countries like Qatar, UAE and Venezuela are more relevant than Nigeria. So, perhaps, people need to stop overstating Nigeria’s relevance and start talking about other things Nigeria can focus on. Saying the obvious doesn’t mean I hate Nigeria - it’s just the truth. Excessive reliance on insufficient oil wealth is the reason why Nigeria has remained poor with lazy and inept leaders who can’t think beyond oil/gas. The only thing keeping Nigeria afloat is remittance from the millions of Nigeria in diaspora - without that, Nigeria would be bankrupt. 7 Likes |

AldrichAmes: For any country to satisfy their needs, they don't depend on one country to satisfy their needs, they buy from multiple suppliers. Do we sell our oil to just one country? Do we sell out gas to just Europe? With Russia selling gas to the EU, why is the EU still buying 50% of Nigerian gas? Shouldn't they be ok with just Russian gas? See, you scored your own goal with your illogical and not well-thought-out argument. lol @ Nigerian the largest producer and exporter of gas in Africa, 9th largest reserve in the world and the 12 largest gas producer in the world is not relevant,? Did the EU rant to Nigeria to beg for gas because Nigeria is not relevant? Now you are sounding like a comedian. And the rest of your post is the same fluff. 1 Like |
Re: EU Agrees To Pay For Russian Gas In Rubles Without Breaching Sanctions by AldrichAmes: 1:49am On Apr 23, 2022 |
plaindealer: Let me break it down for you since it seems you failed maths in school Nigeria has 2% of global natural gas reserve while Russia has 25%. Nigeria currently export 50% of its natural gas to Europe and that makes up less than 10% (about 5%) of European natural gas import. While Russia supplies 41% of European natural gas. So even if Nigeria were to break the contract it signed with other countries outside Europe & send all its natural gas export to Europe - it will still be small fraction of what they get from Russia. How is that too tedious for you to grasp? All the nonsense about rank in Africa is irrelevant. You’ve always been an unstable airhead, political jobber and a nuisance. And this is my last post to you. I lost IQ points by engaging you. 6 Likes |

ebufa: The guy is in his 40s and he’s a man-child who has refused to grow and act his age. That’s what illiteracy in a 3rd world country can do to your brain. Apart from slurping the ancient and corrupt dementia having Tinubu - the man-child is an utter waste of human flesh. Most of these dumb African idiots don’t even understand the ramifications of the Ukrainian fall out. Africa is underdeveloped due to western countries and it’s by design. To finally see a country stand up to them, especially the US, which is the head of the snake - should be a thing of joy to most Africans. But some of these fools can’t see beyond their noses. A broken US/western hegemony would put everyone on equal footing and brown/black people that have been systematically destroyed by the west would be able to make the normal progression by doing business without interference. And people ought to be lauding Russia for the sacrifices it’s making. Most of these idiots don’t even know that NATO was created by the Nazis American assimilated after WW2 and the first NATO Secretary General was a Nazi general. Even the current head of NATO has Nazi lineage ditto the German chancellor and head of EU. Also a lot of the brain behind US foreign policy from Kissinger, to Albright, to Zbigniew Brzerinski have Nazi lineage. Add the Bush family who made money from doing business with Hitler to it. The US and Zionists running Israel have basically been using Nazi playbook since the end of WW2 hence both countries are killing machines against non-white people. The problem with these idiots is that they don’t read - they just slurp dumb propaganda that has kept their people perpetually poor and disenfranchised and regurgitate the same nonsense brazenly. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

cl0r0x: Abio... How hard is basic English to understand. The article sef is self explanatory. They found a way to pay for gas without violating their own sanctions. Violating sanctions means paying for Russian gas with rubbles so to avoid violating their sanctions, they pay Russian Bank in Euro and Dollars. Converting the payment into rubbles is Russia's business, not EU business. It's like me paying you for goods sold and you gave me your bank details to pay into with my Naira but you converted the Naira payment into rubbles and still want to claim that you were paid in rubbles when in fact the payment done in Naira. You have to be mentally dubious and delusional to claim otherwise. Even Russia won't say they are being paid in rubbles, just they ignorant people on NL and olodo Nigerian youths. 1 Like |
