Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran’s Reopened Underground Missile Sites Show Limits Of US Bombing Plan by addictiv(m): 8:45am On Jun 01
Given the rate and effects of the distablization in the gulf, I can only conclude that Iran is a US asset.

PMB'S LACK OF SUPPORT FOR TINUBU IN 2023 IS D REASON PEOPLE LIKE U TALK TRASH

A PARTY THAT PRODUCED 7 OF 109 SENATORS
1 OF 36 GOVS

THINKING THEY WON PRESIDENCY
Stop foaming, spilling gibberish all over the place and tell your tax messiah to do something about the bandits and kidnapers running loose and setting up exchange offices all over the country.

There is but one lesson: never claim what is not yours. To take by force, devoid of merit, ensures either the breaking of your own hand or the destruction of the prize itself.
Family › Re: Unforgiveness: Please I Need Help. by addictiv(m): 12:33pm On May 25
If you have a bad character and attitude, you can decide to change it or look for someone who will tolerate it. If you say you can't change then you re lying to yourself and wasting everybody's time.

As long as TSMC exists in Taiwan, the US is never letting the Chinese take over.
Politics › Re: IGP Disu Orders Nationwide Arms Audit After Delta Killing by addictiv(m): 10:08am On May 06
Every firearm and every round of ammunition should have a traceable record. Issued bullets, unused bullets, spent shells and assigned guns should be logged against officer, unit, station, date and operation.

Monthly audits by commissioners can then feed a central database. AI can flag unusual patterns, such as frequent firearm use in one station, missing shells, repeated ammunition requests, or officers whose weapon records do not match reported operations.

That would turn the audit from paperwork into real accountability. The key is that the system must be tamper resistant and independently reviewed, otherwise the same people being audited can manipulate the records.
Romance › Re: Introduction Is Not Marriage: It Is Just A Declaration Of Intention by addictiv(m): 11:52am On May 05
CoolKizzy:
It depends on the tribe in question.
In Igbo culture, nothing like introduction.
Iku aka or idonye mmanya or Iju ese.
All these things are not marriage. It’s just a declaration of interest.
If you bring wine (idonye mmanya) depending on the town and a maiden’s father accepts the drink from you, you have three months (7 modern weeks) to come and pay bride price (ime ego). More like booking. Within that three months the girl’s father will not accept drinks (mmanya) from any other man. Once the three months is over and you’re not forth coming, it will be assumed you’re no longer interested. Another man can bring drinks and the girl’s father will accept.

Summary.
1. Ime ego (bride price / dowry payment) is the legitimate marriage in Igbo land. And must be completed in full.
2 igba nkwu is the wedding ceremony. More like party for the family. This can be done later or in little installments or some portion waived by the bride’s family. All depending on the town and family strength in the umunna.
Well said.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Seizes 2 Ships, Strikes Another In The Strait Of Hormuz (Photos) by addictiv(m): 8:17pm On Apr 22
Iran is just doing the bidding of the Americans. At this point Iran is a US asset
Family › Re: As A Married Woman Will You Like To Remarry Your Husband In Your Next Life. by addictiv(m):
OP adding a poll would be nice..
This poll is actually quite interesting when you look beyond the numbers.

Here’s what it suggests:

1. Only a minority are fully satisfied
Even though “Yes” leads at 42%, it is still less than half. That means most women either:

wouldn’t remarry the same partner, or
would avoid marriage altogether

Combined, that’s about 56% expressing some level of dissatisfaction or hesitation.

2. A significant portion would opt out of marriage entirely
25% saying they wouldn’t even bother getting married again is not small. It points to:

emotional stress or unmet expectations
changing views about independence
or negative marital experiences

3. Cultural vs personal truth gap
In many societies, especially more traditional ones, people tend to stay in marriages regardless of satisfaction.
So a question like “Would you do it again?” often reveals the real feelings people don’t openly express.

4. The “Yes” group still matters
42% is still a strong number. It means:

many women do find fulfilment in marriage
positive relationships clearly exist
but they’re not the majority experience in this sample

Simple takeaway:
Marriage, for many women, is not necessarily something they would confidently choose again under the same conditions.
Family › Re: As A Married Man � Will You Like To Remarry Your Wife In Your Next Life. by addictiv(m): 9:13am On Apr 12
Op should have added a poll to this let's see percentage of people who would still chose same parners vs those who wouldn't. Seems most men will still pick their wives but most women would not pick same husbands.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Says He Is Postponing Strikes On Iran Power Plants After ‘Productive’ Talk by addictiv(m): 1:53pm On Mar 23
This war has always been about Irans nuclear capability. And the truth is isreal will not stop until there is no trace of nuclear material in Iran. As of this moment both the Americans and Israellites do not know where Iran is hiding their nuclear material. Iran related it before the 1st wave that began mid last year. This 2nd wave might get paused soon but a third wave is still coming until those materials are accounted for.

If she's not scolding him or sternly asking him to stop then she likes the attention and might accept what he's offering.

If you love Iran so much, apply for visa and relocate there. It's very easy and cheap.

Probably pulled out to prevent their players from seeking asylum just like their women's team did in Australia few weeks ago.

If you love Iran so much, apply for visa to, take your family and relocate there. I'm sure the visa process is seemless.
Foreign Affairs › Re: I Also Have Nuclear Facilities, So Why Does No One Dare To Approach Me?” – Kim J by addictiv(m):
The problem is you not that you have it. The problem is you are sponsoring terror groups and threatening to wipe opposing countries off the surface of the earth. The problem is you have a scorched earth ideology and will even kill you own people openly in the streets if they oppose your high handedness. Nigeria can start a nuclear weapon programme today, nobody will care but the moment the government begins to show radical behaviour everybody will get uncomfortable. Your peaceful neighbour can buy a gun you won't care. You might feel safer if you guys are in good terms but the moment they become troublesome and you have a quarrel, he starts polishing and testing the gun everyday, tell me you will sleep soundly at night.

Travel › Re: My Candid Advice To Young Nigerians Who Want To Japa by addictiv(m): 5:20pm On Mar 01
You don't know what it means to leave food in your fridge /freezer and travel for months and return to see your food still preserved. Light no off for 1 day and while away you didn't think/worry about what you left at home. Until Nigeria reaches this point for the average man the country remains a joke.
Travel › Re: JAPA: The Rush To Move Abroad Should Stop by addictiv(m): 2:26pm On Feb 28
To anyone thinking of relocating, please relocate. If doesn't work you can always come back to Nigeria with a different perspective. Nigeria is not going anywhere, it will still be there when you come back.

Christianity Etc › Re: Your Dreams Explained by addictiv(m): 5:12pm On Nov 14, 2025
Please help interprete.
I was in a dream I was lying on the bare floor/grass/pavement out on the street just covered with wrapper/cloth/bedsheet. ( I remember this used to be my favourite wrapper I use in covering myself when I want to sleep many years ago) . It was drizzling rain, people were passing by and suddenly this delivery guy comes to were we were and calls out my full name, I respond and he hands me 3 parcels. I don't remember sending this parcels. He says these are my parcels I sent to the post office but I didn't include an address. He asks me to write the address of the receivers, I ask if he has a pen and before he gives me, I discover I have my own pen. I am trying to remember the address of the receivers and he says
He will give me sometime alone to remember, and he steps away. In the dream, some how I was imagining blaming the receptionist lady at the post office. I was imagining I may have written down the addresses but in the parcel envelop she used, she didn't write down the address. I was thinking she might have done this either by mistake or intentionally.

1st mistake was going to Nigeria to get a wife after 20 years abroad. Everything else is the fruit of a poisoned tree.
