this report has been debunked many a time.... Whites only own about 50% of the total land in SA......46% of fertile agricultural land is owned by none whites, the 72% referred to in the land report is commercial agricultural land that includes companies, trusts and partnerships.... It does not take into the millions of hectares of land owned by black people used for subsistence farming..... The biggest single land owner in SA is in fact the state, whom alone own 24% of the land.
Whites can't hold Black people ransom in a country that is controlled and Governed by black people themselves
50%, why are you guys giving them that much?.... That's too much for a group of minorities that's 9% of your population; just a honest opinion

Video showing Ukrainian soldiers surrendering
Contrary to some belief here, Russian soldiers are quite treated welll... Or maybe they dressed for the cameras https://www.rt.com/russia/555605-ukraine-mariupol-azovstal-surrender/
PS. The silence of western media on this issue is deafening.
Lol, that isn't called "surrendering" by them; zelensky just said "stop fighting" according to Western media on twitter, after about 3000 people have dwindled to about 900+ according to reports.

Don't mind him, the last parts of his contribution is wrong.
The Soviet backed forces defeated Apartheid South-Africa, a communist government took over in Angola, the Namibians gained independence from Apartheid South-Africa, and the Apartheid government fell.
How it is they want to claim a defeat as victory continues to amaze me.
True, but you would do the same, if it were Nigeria; even me  . The main thing is that they gave them a hard-earned victory and even though it was apartheid then

Here's a brief of the whole story;
- South Africa declares war on at the beginning of WW1 (1914)
- The Germans who had colonised Namibia were not happy and decided to do a brief invasion of South Africa
- South Africa invades Namibia, defeats the Germans and decides to keep the country as her new colony
- The local people were not happy with the SA rule.
- During the African wars of independence, the Portuguese fell, left Angola and the Namibians (and ANC Fighters) saw this as an opportunity to use Angola as a base for guerilla warfare against infrastructure and SA armed forces in Namibia.
- The South Africans decided to go into Angola to capture the capital and give it to UNITA, which were non-communist freedom fighters
- The Angolan communist freedom fighters called on Cubans to help them stop SA before the capital was captured and they did.
- So for over a decade SA would go into the country to attack Namibian freedom fighters, the Cubans decided to get involved again, this time they would be killed.
- SA decided to fund the non-communist Angolan gurrilleas to keep the Namibians out the country
- So, the Soviets were brought in to help, Soviet equipment (MiG, tanks, Hinds, and APCs) to get rid of the SA funded guerrillas
- The South Africans brought in tanks, APCs, IFVs and all the gear and conventional war began.
- The Soviets/Cubans failed in their military objective and went to the international community to say "the Apartheid military was in Angola" .
- Everyone hated Apartheid so they forced SA to leave, SA said they were going would leave if the Cubans/Russians left as well and a communists were not going to be anywere close to the SA bordes, and the Namibians should go to elections and win there.. a deal was signed. Everyone went home.
END OF WAR
Hmmm... Very different from the YouTube vid but wow!!!!!!!....

There is literally no way Ukraine would ever deploy such a number of UCAV's and for a single mission no less due the simple fact it doesn't even have such a number. Losing 50 frikkin UCAV's will be accompanied by a large slew of pictures and footage of AD interceptions. Not only have we not seen a single picture, but people are quoting an obscure Telegram page as their source without even damn link ("wallahi trust me bro" . None of the usually more reliable sources are talking about this considering how much of a big deal it supposedly is. Just Russian state sponsored news and hearsay.
I can't believe that people are still this gullible after reading a few lines of text, with no evidence to back it up, considering the vast amounts of disinformation already being flinged from both sides of this war. I absolutely stand to be corrected if I see even slight bits of evidence surfacing. Lastly, a certain here is really starting to lose credibility by spreading really bad hot takes and epic and highly unrealistic rumors.
Hmmm..... Totally unbelievable but what we see in this massive propaganda fiasco, is what we take until facts comes out couple of yrs later. Same with Ukrainians propaganda of makarov etc. Everyone has their respective sources on ground now, so we eat them up for now; we have no other choice unless you want to travel to Ukraine and check it

It is very difficult to really ascertain who is actually telling the truth from who is outright lying ( both sides haven't held back). both sides have committed atrocities . Independent sources I have read are disclosing that certain parts of Ukraine (East ) are completely encircled . logistics and corruption have plagued both Armies and yes as expected some of the recently shipped stuff has fallen into IVAN'S hands .
It is highly unlikely Ukraine will ever make strides towards the Russian Border . Logic will dictate if they do Ivan will turn ODESSA into a parking lot and grimly enforce a Naval blockade - something which independent / impartial observers felt Russia would of done .
Yh, true; UCAVS that will do alot of job at the northeast; some people are wasting it for PR, like 50!.... That will solve Nigerian insecurity issues in the north by a huge amount even if it's just surveillance;

kabe1: From Russian Sources
Over the past three days, the Kiev regime has lost 30 military unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of Snake Island, of which nine are Bayraktar TB2
official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov.
����❗️Ukraine lost 14 planes and helicopters while trying to capture Snake Island - Russian Defense Ministry
From Ukrainian sources
"Our source in the OP said that in the last two weeks we have lost more Bayraktar TB2s than in the entire war. The failure of the operation to storm the Snake island and unsuccessful flights to military facilities in Russia cost us 50 Bayraktar. The Turkish side has already expressed its dissatisfaction with the use of drones, but the General Staff has its own vision on the use of Bayraktar TB2"
50, wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............. Heard Ukraine are making great strides towards the Russian Border

I'm sorry, but this is just bullsh*t. Ukrainians are not racist. I live in the middle of a Europe and I can definitely tell you that majority of people here are not at all hostile towards any other race or nationality if you adapt and respect our rules when you visit us or live here. Majority of people either ignore you, because we like to mind our own business, or are friendly. But you can find idiots everywhere. It's true we are reserved towards others, but there's plenty of reasons for this and that doesn't make us racist.
As for the war in Ukraine, look at 1938 Munich agreement and what followed. Allies abandoned Czechoslovakia and basically sold them for "peace". First Hitler wanted only a part of it claiming Czechoslovaks were abusing German minority in border regions. Western powers gave up the regions without Czechoslovakia having even any chance to vote about it's own territory. Then Hitler came and captured the rest of the country. And with power appetite grows. The rest is history and I'm sure we all know how it ended up. Middle and Eastern Europe knows this story very well and we also have very bad experience with USSR. We simply don't want to repeat history again and NATO helps us prevent this from happening again. And Ukraine is sadly the Czechoslovakia of 1938 that didn't give up but instead chose to fight and we are all very grateful for it, ing Ukraine and donating weapons, repairing their vehicles and accepting Ukrainian civilians running away from the war. Just because we have a peace here doesn't mean it will stay like this forever and only thanks to Ukraine the situation for us is as it is.
Yh that's in peaceful times but in desperate moments true colours surface like when African students were fleeing from Ukraine; damn the racism were soo much, you won't even believe it. Some blacks are still in detention camps till now in Poland; like I said Ukrainians are good people overall but in dire times, the system true colours surface.

Who’s are Ukraines mates that stayed Neutral? If someone far stronger than you is harassing, threatening, and or intimidating you; your saying you SHOULD’NT seek out help or safety in an attempt to avoid further provoking/escalating said harasser/bully?
Are you out of your mind. You sound like one of those rape victim blamers who instead of condemning the rapist you focus on blaming the rape victim for stumbling into the situation.
The Russian speaking minorities and Ukrainians where already targeting each other back and forth for decades. That was just the ticket excuse Putin latched onto to his invasion which is really about just keeping NATO off it’s borders. The same type of excuses the West uses from time to time. Many of those same originally Pro-Russian groups are now fighting AGAINST the Russian Forces.
I don’t Russia or the west there all evil in there own way and care little for Africans. I’m not ing one rapist over another just because the other rapist may or may not rape as many people as the other. I do agree with Africa staying neutral and taking advantage of the situation.
Well, think whatever you want to think. Can't keep arguing, from the Cuba crises to Solomon Islands of now.... That's all the explanation, you need of what a so-called superpower will do when its' security is threatened. So who is protecting who?.... NATO?.Source about the pro-russian group fighting back because from the news am receiving here, the main ones fighting back is LPR and DPR and those are the only pro-russian group...... Odessa which under strict military oppression and even kharviv. Ukraine did worse to those regions, even had a war with them; just read documentaries or articles of how all these started. No one is wrong here and no one is correct, all just excuses. Everyone is complaining about russia use of weapons , just check out how they treat those that oppose their views or want to leave the war; beheading people, tying them to ropes and flogging them to death, but check out Poland the Ukrainians that escaped, well you will see the elites of the elites; post the sources later. Using civilians as meat-shield; even that bucha, I can keep going on and on..... They're no different or even worse that Russia; my pity reduced for them, when I saw all these. Well, I pray they defend their sovereignty. They do all these and claim Africa is uncivilised, Omo but all in all Ukrainians are great people to be with.

To be fair the invasion of Ukraine wasn’t an if but a when and the Ukrainians new that. Of course there going to seek out protection in NATO.
So your saying the Ukrainians should just stand down and let Russia take there country despite the fact there putting up a defense that far sured everyone’s expectations? They should give up for the sake of US politics? They’ve succeeded in scaring Western Europe into boosting there militaries, cooperation, and breaking free of Russian Gas.
I’m not even Pro-Ukrainian, Russian, or Western and I can easily understand everyone’s logic.
If all the islamist groups and countries that them in the world teamed up and decided to all cross the Sahara with there vast American and Russian arsenals to take Nigeria would you want the leadership to just accept the inevitable demise of the nation state?
Then do what their mates did, stay neutral. Not running around shouting NATO and killing Russian speaking majorities. Most of the people ing Russia are just fed up of NATO/US pokenosing into other people affairs; which is the main cause of what we are seeing today. Anyone that wins, we learn from them

There are over a thousand times more weapons in the US than in Nigeria but conflicts in Nigeria are so severe. It is primarily a thing of Ideology.
As for arms deals, while I won't argue that the intervention in syria flooded more arms into Africa, That's not the main source of weapons, or rather the main reason. Generally arms in Africa are not only from the Gaddafi stockpile but Libya and Somalia are transit points for illegal weapons shipments from the ME and Asia.
I will also tell you that arms supply and funding is possible because many gangs in Nigeria sell some stuff you do not know to Chinese and Asian middlemen. I won't go into this. But if you want to talk about fueling conflicts for benefits, I can tell you boldly that Chinese s are the main culprits. Medium scale businessmen keep on paying local gangs for raw materials and exotic products and don't care what the money is used for. To them, it is cheaper when the Federal government is not involved. You don't know where your problem lies yet. Chief sponsor is the "Black Market Trade". Go and find out what is happening in your country.
Once you have the money, it's easy to have the weapons.
Thousand times more weapon in the us that in Nigeria: for a matter of fact, us is quite going through a lot in gangs conflicts etc; just that it doesn't make rounds.
Black market trade: don't really know much about it,maybe you're correct; tbh just hearing all these for the first time,quite enlightening.

Yes that's right because the west is responsible for the ethno-religious bigotry fuelling every single conflict in Africa. They are also responsible for the manufacture of AK47s and 7.62 ammo, the weapon of choice for every terrorist.
Quote me anywhere. Africa will still not see development for as long as 50 years, you guys are simply not ready, only love to blame others for your own problems.
Well, the same west are well known for poking holes into other people's business; am not saying we Africans aren't the cause of our problems but 90% of the instabilities in Africa are an indirect consequence of the actions of the west. From mingling in middle-east to North Africa (libya),lets not even talk about Asia in the name of world peace which is an unfounded excuse for their benefits; then leave some unsolicited huge amount of weapons which ends up in the wrong hands at the end.
