European Union looks to Nigeria for Gas to replace Russian supplies

[amishmanish]

Africa is solution to all problems of rest of the world. Birthplace of humanity, full of gold and diamond and now oil being another. Preservers of nature, while rest of world destroys. But for its inhabitant its a really harsh place, So many tropical diseases and problems. Ah!  Africa the dark continent, come up and rise your time is now.

I don't understand Europe's whining about Gazprom.

Of course you don't, since you chose to trust Putin's propaganda instead of fact-checking everything.
Of course you don't, since you chose to ignore everybody who tells that Putin uses the gas as a war weapon.

But yeah, I don't know why I'm even answering. But at least I won't answer to your friend.

Of course, Putin uses gas as a weapon. It would be strange and stupid of him not to use such a powerful lever of pressure on Europe - and he uses it in a brilliant style. Pumping through Nord Stream at 20% of capacity now brings Russia more money than pumping through Nord Stream at 100% six months ago, because the spot gas price is now ten times higher. Europe should learn from Russia how to impose sanctions in order to deliver maximum pain to the opponent and at the same time not harm its own economy. And you thought Russia would silently endure the flows of European shit in its direction? Be patient, it will get worse, much worse. In Europe, the limit of sanctions pressure on Russia has already been exhausted, and Russia has not really even started yet.

I'm genuinely surprised you admit that.

I know it will. I don't trust politicians, no matter what's their color. But I guess you also know/expect that it will be worse for both sides.

RF can do damage to EUs economy, but it is very limited in time and in its effects. Eventually, this will lead to EU finding an alternative strategy in the long term and the RF having to sell to China at a 50% discount to market prices. Hardly a win.

However, the EU strategy will damage the RF ability to conduct business short and long term. Some forecasts speak of a 30% GDP drop for RF. Adolf Putin does not mind, he is not going to have trouble paying for the next bill and the food and there is nothing you can do to remove the guy from power. All the people running from the RF have already figured it out.

....it’s about the safety of your family,” Vladimir told CNBC via video call from his office in Moscow.

For Vladimir, the decision to leave the country he has called home all his life “was not made in one day.” Under President Vladimir Putin’s rule, he has watched what he called the “erosion of politics and freedom” in Russia over several years. But the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine was the final straw.

This does not look like a country that is "winning" anything uh?

The effects in western Europe? Well, heating at 19 instead of at 23. Hardly something that is going to change the strategy.

What was expected has happened to Europe. Europeans were expecting this to happen because of the Russia and Ukraine war. But my fear is that as Europe is coming to buy gas in Nigeria the inflation will be very high.  But if the Europeans can make the gas price drastically come down then Nigerians will be very happy. Let us see the outcome of the whole treaty.

Since the Russian-Ukraine war has caused gas prices to rise at a new level, Nigeria is being considered as an alternative supplier of gas to the European Union. Whenever unwise leaders gather, sanctions boomerang, and a new world order is imminent. This high demand, constrained supply global scenario presents Nigeria with an opportunity to raise oil prices steeply. Currently, Nigerians cannot afford to buy their own gas because of rapid inflation. Winter is coming, so it is uncertain whether Nigeria will be a secure supplier.

Since the Russian-Ukraine war has caused gas prices to rise at a new level

Prices had risen long before the military operation in question. Spot gas trading is to blame.

[Agbe]

According to Silverbird Television Station yesterday, 26 July, 2022. By 10 pm news. Ukrainian President Zelensky accused Russia of waging war with the supply gas cut. And today now I am hearing again that Europeans are discussing with Nigeria to supply them gas. Where were they when Nigeria was suffering? I believe, it was Europe that colonized Nigeria and they a abandoned the country to suffer and created partnership with already Developed country because of... Nigerian Government should wise up. Europeans knew that Nigeria has abundant of gas yet they prefer among themselves. As for me I put to Europe that, all the suffer Nigeria is suffering today are caused by them. Now they are coming back again.

As they are coming back let them use this time to develop the country. That is my last work.

I know it will. I don't trust politicians, no matter what's their color. But I guess you also know/expect that it will be worse for both sides.

You are right, but there is a nuance. I'll try to draw an analogy, imagine that Europe blocked Russia's water, and Russia, in response, blocked Europe's air. Man cannot live without air and man cannot live without water, but five minutes without water is easy to endure, and five minutes without air can be fatal. One minute has already passed.

The main problem is that the EU cannot accept the RF waging a war in Europe. To follow your metaphor, you can live a few weeks without food, a few days without water but only a few minutes without air.

In this case, air is the certainty that you countries will not get threatened and then invaded. Survival comes first, economy later. If the EU has to endure to exist, it will endure.

I appreciate your heroic pathos, but then why is NATO needed if it does not give Europe confidence in protecting itself from external threats and from invasion? And if the European Union is so worried about military actions near its borders, why does Europe supply weapons to Ukraine, thereby contributing to the prolongation of the conflict? I think you are being disingenuous.

Everytime I read the statement winter is coming it takes me to the Game of Throne. Cutting knots with Russia is the big mistake EU did. They are going to suffer the after effect for long. Biden rushed to the Saudi Arabia for the help. They miscalculated the power of Russia. Russia will survive and all the other countries which were in front row to boycott Russia are going to face the trouble for next couple of years. Let's see the next episode.

...I must admit - you are a master !!!! A master at writing fantasy-humorous stories for the "alternatively developed"!
I'm sure - you can still write a new fairy tale, about the Russian, but what's there to waste time on trifles, the first power of the army! And of course, a monumental fake story about Russian "unparalleled" devices from the end of the last century, which mostly work only in cartoons

AS a whole lot of you jokers suggest, Russia is, and has been for a long time, a nation of war. They are ready for war. Notice how they have metered their attacks in the Ukraine, to a level just below the maximum that the Ukrainian military can take. They recognize Ukraine as a sister nation, and would rather straighten their little sister out than destroy her.

When God used His people, Israel, 3,000+ years ago to attack the evil nations of Canaan, look what He did, Judges 3:

1These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2(he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience): 3the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath. 4They were left to test the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.

Russia is one of the most battle-experienced nations in the world. They might wind up being the only nation left after the rest of the nations have destroyed each other. And they are trying to save Ukraine along with themselves.
