Kobojunkie: You are not making sense. You don't need a contract to know what manipulation, bullying, or subtopics like gaslighting mean. 😒 ... ... The one attempting to go around in circles here is you, because you are convinced that your place in this must be right regardless of issues pointed out so far. 😒 If you don't have a contract on this, then every vulnerable person deserves to be taken care of by those they have helped if they have the capacity, children and aged parents inclusive. |

ebubeson: Have you seen any guy you know boasting that he is sleeping with married women that you know? If such is revealed and he has friends, they may abandon and reject him with disgust. Also, have you seen any married you know boasting openly that she is sleeping with men?
While it is very wrong to cheat, some married men may talk of side-chics, and some side-chics may talk about their married sugar daddies: but a guy sleeping with a married woman may be ashamed to say it, and a married woman may be so ashamed to reveal she is sleeping with someone else.
Married women are sacred. It's disgusting to sleep with anyone who is not legally married to one...very disgusting. Stick to your spouse and focus on your family problems. That's a good way to have peace of mind. |

Kobojunkie: 1. No such legal contract exists. 🤔
2. That norm only exists in your mind. Again, there are no laws that mandate children take care of their adult parents or any adults for that matter. So, you need to be able to separate delusion from reality at this point. 🤨🥱
3. It is manipulation/fraud to require something ,without adequate agreed-upon compensation, from someone else where the law does not obligate any such. 🥱🥱 No contract a child signs for the parents to take care of them. No contract an aged parent signs for their children to take care of them if they can.What exactly are you taking about? Parents take care of their children because the children are vulnerable and cannot take of themselves at those points. No social contracts signed. When those aged parents are vulnerable, the children who have the capacity should take of them. That is what makes the world go round. Why would you think it's irresponsible for a parent to not cater for their children and then not irresponsible for a capable adult to take of their aged and vulnerable parents? You haven't made any point aside from the use of "manipulation" |
Family › Re: I Didn't Marry Because Of My Siblings - Single Old Woman (Video) by amoco(m): 10:18pm On Apr 14 |
Kobojunkie: it does not. 🤔
2. it does not. 🤔
3. it is manipulation to impose yourself on someone who never had a say in it all from the beginning. 🤔 It's not enough to say "it does not". I was hoping you will show me the contact between children and parents on this. You have non and so there is none. It's a rule of thumb and it covers both. In Africa, this is the norm. Elsewhere where a child takes a loan to fund his or her education on their own, maybe you can say the child doesn't owe their aged parents any duty of care. Again , I am trying to see what you call manipulation here unless you mean the society actually manipulates adults to take care of children and then manipulates people to think it is unreasonable for aged adults to be taken care of by their children. |
Family › Re: I Didn't Marry Because Of My Siblings - Single Old Woman (Video) by amoco(m): 8:50pm On Apr 14 |
Kobojunkie: That is the manipulation we are talking about right there... this notion that because they chose to birth and feed you, you therefore owe them. 🤔🤔
2. Adults who choose to have children are legally responsible for the support and wellbeing of their children. Young people are right to expect support and care from their caregivers. 🤔🤔 If there is a contract parents signed to take care of their children at their vulnerable periods, then that contract extends to children (who have the wherewithal) to cater for their aged parents at their vulnerable period. If it's a societal construct, then it applies to all. It is not manipulative for a parent to suffer and invest in their children and then ask the children to support them when they are aged. It is not at all. |

LeeSmart: There's no big secret oo just be a Husband and a father that's all. I love this. Play the husband and father role well. Let your wife play her wife and mother role well. Marry a responsible person who loves God and has the fear of God. The fear of God to a extent serves as a deterrent for misbehavior in many people. If a responsible child of God views cheating one's spouse or hurting one's spouse as sin against God, they will out of respect for God choose not to do such things. This will ultimately benefit everyone. Everyone involved must be willing to make sacrifices to make the relationship work. Everyone. It's a lot of hard work but it's achievable. I am enjoying mine aside from the financial pressure to raise children, support siblings and relatives. |

Kobojunkie: Reality has always been that a good portion of them will be abandoned. Gone is the age where they could bully or manipulate their way into being maintained by family members as entitled beings in their old age. Every adult out there ought to be responsible for his/her own life and welfare. Age, should not be an excuse. 😒 Bully... manipulate... entitled....all three words are wrong to be applied to those who supported one when one needed help. It's a dangerous trend that could turn the tables and make some adults re-think support for youngsters. Many young people already feel some adults are not providing them the required help or support or platform to succeed. It could be worse if most people think helping their aged parents or relatives are a big unwarranted burden. |

I know there are no guarantees in life… but if children are are alive, they should be empathy driven towards their own immediate flesh and blood…… yall just like sounding politically correct…. You are right. Anyone who has made investments into one ought not be forgotten or pushed away when they need help especially at old age. There is no guarantee on this but anyone who can and is able should support those who supported them. That is how it ought to be. A deviation from this for one who is capable is pure wickedness. |

Romance › Re: Why Being Intentional With A Woman Is The Fastest Route To Losing Her by amoco(m): 2:53pm On Apr 14 |
Pukkalolo: Let me hit you with a truth so ugly that might make you hate me after reading this:
A woman’s real job is not to love you. Her real job is to catch you and put you in the cage called “commitment”
Once she succeeds: once you commit, once you make it obvious you’re fully satisfied with her. Meaning you're not trying to escape from the cage… her job is done.
And when a woman’s job is done, She stops trying to please you. She starts misbehaving. She starts looking outside.
Because a caged lion that stops trying to escape is no longer exciting. It’s just furniture.
Think about it like this:
Commitment and marriage are a cage, and Her mission is to lure the wild, dangerous man inside and lock the door. The satisfaction for her doesn’t come from catching a man who WANTS to be in the cage.
That’s boring. That’s weak. That’s prey walking willingly into the trap.
The real thrill: the thing that keeps her wet, respectful, attracted and on her toes… is catching a man that is constantly looking for ways to escape. A man who she knows, deep down, can walk away at any moment if she bleeps up.
One of the oldest tests a woman run on her Man is:
She open the cage door to see if you'll escape
She opens the cage in form of:
Disrespect. Silent treatment. Withholding sex. Threatening to leave you. Flirting with other men in front of you.
What is she really doing?
She's checking: “Will this man stay in the cage like a domesticated cat… or will he have some backbone and walk out of this cage?”
If you stay, that's, you apologize, beg, chase, and stay put like an intentional good boy — she knows her job is finished.
Game over.
From that moment, she starts looking for someone more challenging. Someone who still feels dangerous.
If you walk out of the cage — go no-contact, flirt with other women, enforce real consequences, or straight-up dump her — something magical happens.
She respects you more. She suddenly remembers how to be sweet, submissive, and sexually available again.
The dark truth:
A woman needs a little bit of fear that one day her man might walk out of the cage and never look back. That fear keeps her on her toes. That fear makes her bring her best behavior, her best sex, her best effort.
If your wife or girlfriend is disrespecting you, denying you sex, giving attitude, or treating you like an option… it’s not because she’s “changed.”
It’s because she knows you’re 100% satisfied with her and have no intention of leaving the cage.
Be wise brothers. Pray to God to help you find a good wife who will love you, be loyal to you, fear God and flee from intentional sin and evil and then get committed to solve problems in your home. When you and your wife are busy building wealth and raising children, you will have little time and energy left for irrelevancies. Marriage is more complicated than some of the write-ups we see sometimes |

Education › Re: Indiscriminate And Unwholesome Religious Activities On Campuses by amoco(m): 8:49am On Apr 11 |
Oledia: Written by PROF B. CHIMA ONUOHA
Freedom of religion is both a fundamental and constitutional right of people, including students. It is important to state clearly that _rights_ should not be abused or used to inconvenient other persons. It is also necessary to indicate that university campuses are not seminaries or theological schools. Even such religious institutions are governed by rules and regulations. They emphasise hard-work, focus and discipline. There is no place for lawlessness or self-aggrandisement.
The Nigerian larger society is afflicted with “over-religiousity”. Churches are everywhere and springing up every day. People are highly religious without being Christ-like. Miracle seeking has become the order of the day, instead of hard-work, sincerity and dedication. The Almighty God and the angels in heaven are earnestly expected to solve all our problems including those that we have the physical and mental capacity including resources to solve by ourselves. Every failure, misfortune or sickness is an “attack” from someone or somewhere. People are simply not ready to bear the consequences of their actions or inactions.
Instead of the government and political leaders confronting unemployment, insecurity, economic hardships, and underdevelopment head-long, they get church owners or the big religious entrepreneurs to tell Nigerians to pray for solutions to descend from heaven. And Nigerians, suffering from what I call “religious mumuism” will key in.
Religious leaders, particularly General Overseers (GOs) and pastors are instilling fears in people, making them to be excessively prayerful and being lazy in the process. Over religiousity has long creeped into the university campuses, from Monday to Sunday. I have observed that during school hours when some students have free hours in between lectures, instead of revising treated topics or those to be taught, or go to the departmental, faculty or main libraries to study, they form prayer groups, singing and dancing thereby disturbing on-going lectures around. In a particular federal university, prayer groups of its Faculty of Management Sciences, stage their religious disturbances behind the Senate building of that particular university, very close to the faculty, serving as distraction/disturbance to on-going lectures.
In another federal university, a faculty that has Eleven (11) BSc programmes in five departments not mentioning part time and post graduate programmes, with acute shortage of lecture halls had a myopic disposition of leasing out a very important lecture hall for three days (Wednesday-Friday) for religious Event. This is repeated at intervals. What a priority! The implications were/are very obvious – many lectures will continue to be cancelled, disturbances and distractions of on-going lectures in the vicinity and far reaching academic consequences.
In a particular state university where serious academic competition was the order of the day, students – those in the hostels and around the campus had the constant habit and practice of returning to classrooms and lecture halls to read between 7:30 pm and 12 midnight every day. Along the line, there were many prayer groups that were also competing with students for the same venues, with their noisy activities. It took almost a riot from the larger student body for the university authorities to ban all religious activities on campus during school periods/days.
Pentecostal churches are finding university campuses fertile grounds for crusades with the usual road shows/funfair around and inside the campuses. These crusades can last three or more days. During these periods, many students abandon their lectures and studies. It does not matter if the semester examinations are starting in the next two days. Instead of studying hard, students are keying into miracle and prosperity preaching. The wealth without work mindset or perspective. We have heard of students going to “men of God” to bless their biros, rulers and pencils before the exams. Some go to tap “anointing” before examinations. In a particular faculty, two lecturers are fond of spending the first ten to fifteen minutes in praise and worship before commencing lectures. These actions often disrupt teaching functions in close-by lecture halls. In fact, campus religious activities are becoming fads in the Nigerian tertiary institutions.
The youths are the most endangered group today in the country from three sources: 1. No tangible programmes for them from the government – devaluation of education via underfunding; poorly paid and unmotivated teachers; inadequate youth empowerment schemes; high unemployment rate; they are used for thuggery and election rigging, etc.
2. Religious and spiritual enslavement from Pentecostal churches, with all sorts of deceits and manipulations. Some students are hoodwinked to use their school fees, feeding and book money to pay tithe, sow spiritual seeds, bless “men of God”, etc, and expect miracles thereafter. Most times, the miracles don’t happen, yet they keep hoping endlessly.
3. Social media negative influences – “education is scam”; pinging for hours instead of reading; watching films/videos endlessly; penchant for hook-up; quick money and yahoo syndrome; pathological lying; proclivity to partying; drug abuse; imbibing wild values, etc.
At this point, let me ask few innocuous questions • Are universities meant for incessant religious crusades, apart from the usual weekend (more specifically – Sunday) church programmes?
• Are universities not meant for studies; providing solutions to societal and the nation’s developmental challenges, the so called “the gown going to town”? These are the main purpose of establishing universities, nationally and globally.
• Which university in Nigeria has reasonable endowment funds from research, innovations and commercialisation of research outputs? See my article – “Nigerian University System and Endowments”.
• What research efforts, technological or industrial hub will crusades bring to the campuses or society?
Instead of joining leading global universities to be agents of economic and technological advancement, the nation’s university system is seeking the easy-way out like government and political leaders – miracles, relevance and success without hard-work and strategic plans. There is no single technology centre in Nigeria. Universities have critical roles to play in the establishment of technology centres. Most global dominant clusters have their origin from nearby universities. For example, the history of Silicon Valley (in California, USA) will be incomplete without the notable roles of Stanford university, its industrial park, affiliates and graduates. Silicon Valley is home to many of the world’s largest and richest high-tech corporations and thousands of start-up companies. Some of them are Fortune 1000 companies.
For me, any person is free to disagree… excessive religious activities on campuses are affecting studies, hard-work, creativity, productivity and research efforts, adversely.
When we were in the university, undergraduate programme, intellectual competition was rigorously encouraged by the system, lecturers and students themselves. As students, we challenged ourselves to mention how many As and Bs each of us aimed at scoring. The courses should also be mentioned in advance. In that era, more than 90 percent of courses/exams were “attempt all questions”. Four or five questions to answer all. Again, we challenged ourselves to answer the questions the way they appeared – no jumping questions. For example, if a course has four questions, to answer all. We said that if you are intelligent or hardworking, your answers should be 1, 2, 3 and 4 questions; not 2, 4, 1 and 3 on your exam booklet. The same was applicable if the course has options. For example, a lecturer may set 6 questions and asked the students to attempt 4 out of the 6. The challenge to ourselves remained – answer the questions the way they appeared. If you are intelligent or hardworking, your answers would appear (in the case of 6 questions) 1, 2, 3, 4, leaving out 5 and 6. In other words, it didn’t matter if questions 5 and 6 were easier. What am I saying? In addition to the enslavement from indiscriminate and unwholesome religious activities, majority of our current students are not interested or involved in academic competition. It is common to see in a typical exam booklet, students attempting questions like this; 1a, 4c, 3b, 6c, 1c, 4b, 3a. Along the line you see an appeal note for leniency or prayer for you and family, how God will bless you and your family if you pass the student. Cheap emotional blackmail everywhere.
Why are many students not ready to study hard or take their lectures seriously? Apart from their uninterested or lazy disposition, the system is also encouraging them openly. Lecturers are told or warned that failure rate should not be more than 30 percent. So, what a student needs to score in a course is 20 percent in exam and 10 percent in continuous assessment. The system will take care of the rest, to enable the candidate get 40 or 45 percent. Lowering of academic standards have gotten to the post graduate levels. These students will eventually be future lecturers, administrators and political leaders. This country has a long way to go, in terms of development.
In conclusion, university managements across the nation should restrict the indiscriminate and unwholesome religious activities on their campuses. Before religious fanatics start attacking me, I need to state that I am also a Christian – a Catholic.
Finally, universities are not religious institutions; Simplicita!
B. C. Onuoha, Professor of Management and development activist, wrote from University of Port Harcourt, Sunday, April 5, 2026. God bless you Prof. I am a dedicated Christian and I agree with some of your points here. A very prominent man once told us in the university that he would have sent his son to a seminary if he had wanted him to be a pastor. But since he is in the secular university, he should focus and study what brought him to school while worshiping God at appropriate times. Same thing I tell my children now. Too much of everything is bad |

Namaster: 9/10 hookup girls are single mothers. It doesn't matter how young they look, you'd still find out they have kids.
Just recently, I reached out to a petite.girl. By petite, I mean really small. This girl could not be taller than 5 feet but has a nice ass and moderate yansh.
I like to know a little about the holes I stick my schlong in. So I made my way to her TikTok page.
First thing i saw was a picture of a 9-year old boy with a caption that read "my heart". I was shocked. The boy was almost as tall as the hookup girl.
I was shocked! But not as shocked I was when I saw the next video. It was a video of her, the 9-year old boy and another 4-year old boy.
The petite girl had pumped out not 1 but 2 kids.
Yet this girl is hawking her condemned vagina for hookup.
I just moved on. I cannot tolerate hookup girls with vaginas that have been mangled by childbirth.
But it gets worse because that is not the only case. Majority of the girls I look into for hookup are single mothers. It's like a rite of passage for them. Give biryh and do hookup. 1. You didn't back this claim with data but simply concluded with your personal experience. Not a reliable data. 2. Why would you even consider hook-up? You are encouraging the bad behavior and yet condemning it. You obviously may have a lot of body counts but will be swift to condemn women for same thing. 3. Flee from fornication and adultery. It is sin against God. Get a wife and stick to your wife. Thank you |
Foreign Affairs › Re: US Army Setup Military Base In Iran For Hours by amoco(m): 2:21pm On Apr 05 |
Namaster: This is where you are WRONG.
First thing you have to understand is that WARFARE has ALWAYS been about Logistics and SUPPORT like the reconnaissance you mentioned.
In fact, those BASES were set up SPECIFICALLY for their abilities to provide LOGISTICS and SUPPORT to the US Military.
Military Bases ALWAYS serve Military Purpose.
The REASON the US Military is so DEADLY is because of their Military Bases that they have ACROSS the world ready to provide LOGISTICAL and INTELLIGENCE support at a moment's notice.
The US has over 800 Military Bases. Russia has about 21. China has maybe 1. 
Those US BASES will supply intelligence and repairs and other equipment to an INVADING Force.
They are NOT just for show. War is NOT just about KABOOM-KABOOM. It's about the Logistical and Supply Chains you have in place to keep it going.
For instance, the planes that were DESTROYED in the Saudi Airbase were TANKERS (Logistical support) and Surveillance planes (Intelligence Support).
Both are CRUCIAL to combat operations.
Another CLAIM that is NOT true is that "IRGC just wanted to KILL".
Before the war began, Iran stated CLEARLY and PLAINLY that ALL US Military Bases in the region would become VIABLE targets.
Because of that, the US EVACUATED most of their bases. The people who died were SKELETON crew left as a kind of standing force.
In the second day of the war, Iran attacked about 15 US Bases and DESTROYED multiple THAADS.
And only the Kuwaiti base reported casualties.
The GOAL was to destroy the ability of the US to use those bases for LOGISTICAL supports. Plus, the AIR DEFENCE systems in those bases were going to be deployed to INTERCEPT attacks meant for ILLsrael.
That was the purpose of those ATTACKS. NOT wanting attempts to MURDER.
As for the need for AIRCRAFT CARRIERS despite the presence of those bases, here's a simple explanation:
The US Military is all about hitting the enemy with OVERWHELMING FORCE.
One Aircraft carrier can convey more than 70 aircrafts. The BIGGEST ONE like USS Gerald Ford can convey up to 90.
That's more planes on ONE carrier than some COUNTRIES have in their ENTIRE Military.

And for SERIOUS combat operations like the one in Iran, majority of those planes would be F-35s.
Parking those PERMANENTLY inside a foreign Military base is UNTENABLE.
Spies could STEAL those techs. They could be hit in a SUCKER-PUNCH attack. Plus, the host country would be very UNEASY.
In contrast, every aircraft carrier is a FLOATING FORTRESS with its own top-of-the-line AIR DEFENCE SYSTEMS.
These are the things to CONSIDER. You are brilliant |
Business › Re: Nigerian Banks Raised ₦4.05 Trillion, How It Helps The Economy by amoco(m): 4:06am On Apr 01 |
ogugwa1992: Nigeria’s Banks Just Raised ₦4.05 Trillion. Here Is The Part Nobody Is Talking About.
If you have a Nigerian bank account, read this.
The recapitalisation window closes today, March 31, 2026. 33 banks have crossed the finish line, raising a verified ₦4.05 trillion. If your first thought is "Audio money" or "Na them go chop am," let’s look at the facts; Countries that ran this exact play; Turkey, India, and Ghana give us insight into what could happen next.
The Global Playbook
- Turkey (2001): After recapitalising, GDP averaged 7% annual growth for five years as fresh bank cash unlocked massive private investment. - India (2017): A $32 billion injection into public banks spiked credit growth from under 1% to over 7% in two years, removing the invisible chains holding local businesses back. - Ghana (2017–2019): Cleaned up 9 banks and grew assets by 14.5% in a year. But reckless government borrowing dragged them to the IMF by 2022. The Lesson: Capital means nothing without system discipline.
The 60% Promise: Where the ₦4 Trillion is Going
Having ₦4 trillion in bank vaults won't drop tomato prices tomorrow, but Nigerian banks have officially committed 60% of this new capital directly to the real sector (Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Infrastructure). For the first time, a ₦500 billion mega-bank can single-handedly fund a massive factory without begging a syndicate. This is the financial engine for a $1 trillion economy.
How the CBN is Preventing a Crash
To ensure this money doesn’t just end up with politician friends, the CBN installed strict guardrails:
- No Fresh Loans for Chronic Debtors: If you haven't paid back existing loans on the Credit Risk Management System (CRMS), you cannot access a single kobo of this new money. - Ending the "Family Empire": Systemically Important Banks must now have a CBN-approved successor 6 months before an MD's tenure ends. No more emergency CEOs. - The Stress-Test: Starting April 1, banks face a strict financial drill. They must prove they can survive severe economic shocks and assume all insider loans to their own directors are already lost money. If a bank's capital fails this test, they must submit a step-by-step plan to go back to the market to raise even more money within 18 months. This drill report is due by April 30
Now, How Do You Benefit?
The money is here, but benefiting requires intentional positioning: - Business Owners (SMEs): Make your business "borrowable" with proper records. Banks are under strict CBN watch and will only fund structured plans. Think about it, It is no coincidence that the CBN recapitalisation lines up perfectly with the FIRS May 31st tax filing deadline. This speaks to an alignment between the Monetary and Fiscal policy side. If your tax documents aren't sorted and your business isn't fully compliant, you are locking yourself out. Clean records and tax compliance are no longer just government rules but are your only gate-pass to accessing this ₦4 trillion.
- Salary Workers: Watch the manufacturing and agriculture sectors. More credit to local factories means more Nigerian-made goods competing with imports, which eventually stabilizes prices and creates jobs.
The economic foundation is genuinely stronger today, and Nigeria’s $1 trillion economy is in motion. Are you positioned to benefit when the credit starts flowing? Or will you be explaining two years from now why you just watched it happen?

But then it's too early to draw conclusions. We hope things turn out well for the banks and our local entrepreneurs esp the SMEs. CBN should further drop CRR and interest rate to ease the locked funds of banks which will help them to support businesses more and also reduce interest rates on loans |

helinues: Imagine a group of people including elders making this kind of ridiculous statement.
Are they saying Buhari was the one behind the herdsmen crisis in South East
Elders that are insensitive because they are too emotional This is unnecessary. Write a public rebuttal to their claims and make your point. Anything short of that is just emotions at play. |

helinues: Rag that you use to clean the house Broom that you are using to sweep Broken mirror, don't let it near the room you sleep
It's good luck charm naturally For aesthetics it's good not to keep dirty rag or brooms in one's room. For safety reasons, one shouldn't keep broken glasses in one's room. Aside from aesthetics and safety of children ( for broken mirrors), there is no spiritual connection or luck or harm connected to this. Nothing. If one lives in one room, all of these things stay in same room and nothing will happen. If one lives in a house with more than a room, then one can keep them away from one's room just for aesthetics. That's all. |
