You are still saying this nonsense as per your paragraph 2

The values between both groups are MORE similar than they are apart
But obviously you cannot see it

If they ask you what are the CONCRETE things that set them apart
u will begin to "scratch head"
Nah Yorubas are largely socialist believe in very strong political individuals

Igbos are more capitalist and Republican in nature where even a poor village bagger than challenge a kind of governor and win

That difference is the Genesis if the political difference between the two

Igbos and Yorubas are not similar at all
Yorubas have more income to Ghanaian than igbos.. Igbos have more in common with southern Cameroon than Yorubas

You only think they have more in common because compared to Hausa both share more in common

Without USA Europe has no action against Russia. They can only rant. Now they have deceived Zelenskey that they are with him but they don't have the boldness to fight Ukraine. Zelenskey was just a stupid man to accept fighting a proxy war. Trump is the best to stop the war.
If you think Trump is taking wrong move to stop the war please I would want to read your solution to stopping the war.
You know in the old days...

There's a community A:
A big snake comes to their towns, and swallows their children, and swallows adults, it's so scary. The elders wanted peace, so they charged to the lay of the snake and made a pact with it. Each week, rather than it swallowing them in their towns, they'd bring it 2 people each week (a child an adult). Those two are brave, the elders had sought for peace, and the big snake would no longer enter their town, they sacrifice to it now.


There's community B:
A big snake comes to their towns, and swallows their children, and swallows adults, it's so scary. The elders wanted peace, so they brought their best men around, but they are never enough. They went to various many communities, up to 243, they explained the problem of the big snake to them, and how the big snake if uncontrolled could go to their towns the next time, and feed on their children and themselves as it continues to grow larger close to their community. After lots of lobbying, diplomacy, treaties, they got 180/243 communities to their side.

Your guess on what comes next would be as good as mine. And also, Gd said specifically, humans, tame the wild beasts. And also, when Israelites coming from Egypt saw the giant humans in Canaan and were moved with fear, Gd's action to them was like ti itakun baparapo, a gbe erin (if tiny spiders come together, cooperate, they'd topple the elephant).


Too long, the summary is:
Succumbing to a bully (Russia) that history shows had never stopped with bullying other European countries, is all shades of community A behavior, especially as the US has the power to actually checkmate the Russia.



Whatever North America or Europe or Ukraine does is actually none of my business, I'm only trying to answer your rhetoric.

They are saving those details to be used as as a movie later, I guess. Let peace reign and let people live.

Putin is the aggressor. You can't blame Zelensky for defending his country. If he fold his hands, Putin would overrun the entire country.

Zelenskyy wanted to play tough but forgot that he’s been sponsored and given feeding money by America… this is why America doesn’t respect him because they’re the ones feeding him. All the resources Ukraine is using to play with Russia comes from America and NATO

This even happens in real life, a man that’s given help all the time doesn’t have a voice, you will be forced to do your sponsor bidding first before you think about your own people.

If Ukraine have the capacity of China, North Korea…America will not treat Zelenskyy like a puppet. If Zelenskyy is wise, he will swallow his pride and see the broader picture that the US and NATO are the enemies here… he should seek to meet Putin and form alliances with Russia instead of trying to NATO while they treat him and his country like a second class European nation.

Putin understands except if you’ve no honour, there’s no much difference between Ukraine and Russia.

It’s the United States that’s the problem here from the beginning, why will you want a puppet nation just to install your military base closer to Russia, will they allow Russia do the same using Canada or Mexico ?

Giving Zelenskyy fake promises of being part of NATO and that the united states will him is why the war is going on…
You guys should just shut it!
Why is Putin calling for help from North Korea, China etc. if it is that easy for Russia.
You want Zelensky to form an alliance with Putin, a dictator who kills any opposition politician that criticizes him?

Yes more ships are going to get it. Because the U.S. is out of the weapons donations game. Others are only wasting their weapons and money!

Russia would sink more ship and more forest hitting are going to take place!

The bolded is the EXACT PROBLEM many of you who think this way have

Political leanings should be independent of your ethnic group
But in Africa (because of mental backwardness)

People lump the two together.
Ones political belief is a function of his personal convictions, not ethnic affinity

For example
I am a core lefty when it comes to political values et al...
Some are right leaning
etc etc
even though we may all belong to an ethnic group

Ukraine has marginalized them since 2014 ... Why Ukrainian government is fighting to keep them in ukraine is what I don't really get


The Human desire to rule and govern other people is what I can never understand as a person

I hear you Mr hypocrite. You believe Russia should come to the aid of the so called Russian-Ukrainians but as far back as 8 yrs ago you don't believe in Biafra. 👇

So igbos.. who don't biafra won't vote?? ?
What are u saying... I am igbo and I don't biafra

What a two faced idiot some people can be. From that statement it's obvious you won't it if Finland tomorrow decides to wage war against Nigeria to liberate Biafra.

But here you are ing Russia to destroy Ukraine to free the so called Russian-ukrainians. ing an aggressor over a defender. Mehn! Brains đź§  dey oo!

Nah culturally Yorubas reverence their kings as gods... Igbos don't

We igbos see leaders as servants it's so deep that in UNN HOD of departments are no body they carry bags for profs , they were were doctors or new profs

It will take RUSSIAN women almost 100 years for replace the number of Russians soldiers killed in this senseless war. More than 300 thousand killed so far.

But the bad news is that the current generation of Russian women are not interested in giving birth.

Ask yourself this, will the USA be pretending to seek for peace if they had succeeded with NATO to annihilate Russia in that bloody war ?

If you wanted peace from the beginning you wouldn’t have gone asking Ukraine that they’ll be granted free age into NATO and ed in all capacity by America just because you want to control Ukraine and their minerals, spitting Russia in their face but you won’t allow Russia mount their military presence in Canada or Mexico…

I don’t see any thing like peace here, but deceit. America is built in deceit, chaos … that’s why putin doesn’t give a fvck and has the balls to tell every American president “go fvck yourself “ if they don’t accept his since they’re asking for peace now..

I only feel pity for Ukraine for having a president that doesn’t see the broader picture to know who the real enemy is

Let's not talk as if any superpower is built on righteousness. They all built their countries on deceit. It's the US proposing the and not Putin. It's possible for two govts to have different approaches to an issue and that is what is happening in the US. The Dems foreign policy was to implement NATO policies as we saw with Ukraine and Trump thinks differently. Trump is against globalization and has never ed NATO,even in his first term.

He maybe taking a step towards stopping the war but he's at the same time setting a bad precedent. Now any strong nation can attack ad bully a weaker one, and US has no power any longer to step in. It's a bad one angry

Sometimes I feel nairaland is biased because some many Ukraine military victories are not covered, the only time you hear of Ukraine is from deadbeat.

Yes, true. But I'm talking in the context of 1980s, 90s and early 2000s. They used to say "7 most powerful countries"

US, Britain, Japan, , , Italy, Canada.

Russia had always been powerful at the time as well but it was sidelined. But now powerful now

What China?

And why are 32 powerful countries helping Ukraine?

$400 billion in weapons, more than 200,000 NATO & US soldiers disguised as mercenaries. Only Poland alone sent over 15k troops.

Tens of thousands of military equipment enough to fully equip at least 5 countries.

How many troops did North Korea send again? Less than 8k and since January this year, no one has seen them.

Every NATO member sent thousands of troops to help the US invade goat herders in Afghanistan. The poorest country in the world that has less than 50 tanks.

Do you know ordinary protest in Russia and China can earn you death penalty

Don't tell me about China, I have lived there over ten years!
If Nigeria is anything close to the living standards in most Chinese cities, I can assure you that me and you won't be here everyday shouting at each other..

The problem with a lot of brainwashed Africans is that they are always fixated on the process that they forget the goal; Whether it is democracy or dictatorship, the end goal is "good living and a strong state". Always have this in mind...

We make it look like the end goal is freedom of speech. Are you living to just talk? Do you exist just to enjoy chattering? If protests are banned in Nigeria, but Lagos is as smooth as Shanghai, Abuja as flourishing as Beijing and Onitsha as lucrative as Guangzhou, you will reject that, right? Because you need to talk and protest..? Is democracy the goal or ONE OF THE VEHICLES to the goal?

we know who is Dieing already ,of course it is the side that is on constant mobilisation,the side who is reducing age of mobilisation,the side whose citizens are seen on the streets running away from mobilisation in order to avoid been killlled in the battle field.


Let's assume china is helping Russia,happen to the hello of more than 30 countries that is good to Ukraine by world biggest economies and claimed world biggest military. Yet there is nothing to show for it.
