God1000: I hope south Korea is watching this, first he abandoned Ukraine and insulted NATO and the entire Europe, it is better for these countries to abandon america completely for protection and normalize relations with their big neighbors.
Trump admires the likes of Vladimir Putin of Russia, xi jinping of china and Kim of north Korea so much that he will rather sell US allies to these countries than doing the needful

Dpsychologist: 5 Myths About Love Many Nigerians Grow Up Believing
The older I get, the more I realize that love is one of the most beautiful things in life… and also one of the most dangerous things when you don’t understand it properly.
A lot of us were raised on fairy tales, Nollywood fantasies, church slogans, relationship quotes and heartbreak songs.
We were taught that love conquers all.But real life in Nigeria will humble that belief very quickly. Most times love is not what destroys people it is the lies people believe about love.
Let’s talk honestly.
1. “Love Is Enough”
This is probably the biggest lie people keep repeating.
Love is important, yes. But love alone cannot carry a relationship where there is no stability, no emotional maturity, no discipline, no direction and no peace.
Love doesn’t pay hospital bills. Love doesn’t remove frustration from unemployment. Love doesn’t automatically fix anger issues, cheating, irresponsibility or addiction.
Many couples genuinely love themselves but still suffer badly together because life pressure is stronger than feelings.
Anybody who has experienced financial hardship inside a relationship understands this deeply.
You can love somebody and still be miserable together.
2. “If Somebody Truly Loves You, They Will Never Hurt You”
This one sounds sweet until life teaches you otherwise.
Human beings are flawed.
People can genuinely love you and still disappoint you because of weakness, immaturity, trauma, temptation, selfishness or poor decisions.
A woman can love a man and still disrespect him during anger. A man can love a woman and still cheat. Love does not automatically remove human flaws.
This is why character matters more than mere emotions because emotions change quickly. Character is what remains when emotions cool down.
3. “Suffering Together Means The Love Is Real”
Nigeria especially romanticizes struggle too much. You’ll see two people drowning financially, emotionally exhausted, fighting every week, but they’ll still say: “At least we love each other.”
Love is not supposed to become permanent suffering. Please don't get me wrong in this. However, many people stay in bad relationships because they think endurance automatically means loyalty.
No.
Sometimes you are not enduring love. You are enduring dysfunction. Real love should add peace to your life, not remove your sanity completely.
4. “Women Love The Same Way Men Do”
This conversation always makes people emotional, but let’s be honest.
Men and women are not wired exactly the same when it comes to attraction and relationships.
A lot of men can stay emotionally attached even while struggling financially. But many women start losing attraction when a man becomes unstable for too long financially, mentally or socially.
That doesn’t always make women evil.
A lot of women grew up watching suffering closely. They saw their mothers struggle. They saw poverty destroy homes. So security affects attraction for many of them whether people admit it or not.
This is why many men get shocked when a woman who once sounded deeply in love suddenly changes after prolonged hardship.
Painful reality, but that's the reality.
5. “Marriage Automatically Guarantees Happiness”
Marriage is not magic. It does not suddenly heal loneliness, immaturity, trauma or confusion.
Some people are deeply unhappy inside marriage but cannot leave because of children, religion, shame, finances or society.
Some married people secretly miss the peace they had while single.
Marriage only amplifies who both people already are. If two emotionally unhealthy people marry each other, the wedding ring will not suddenly create wisdom. That’s why choosing well matters more than simply marrying quickly.
One painful thing I’ve noticed is this:
Many Nigerians are not actually taught how relationships work.We are only taught how to desire relationships.
So people enter relationships with fantasies and leave with trauma.
The truth is Love is beautiful, very beautiful. But love without wisdom can destroy your finances, mental health, confidence and future. That’s why as I grow older, I no longer ask: “Who loves me the most?”
I ask: “Who is emotionally healthy? Who is consistent? Who brings peace? Who has discipline? Who has values? Who can build with me during both comfort and hardship?”
Attraction can start relationships but wisdom is what sustains them and honestly, many Nigerians need relationship education more than relationship motivation.
Some heartbreaks are avoidable from the beginning if people simply understood human nature better.
Fiscus105: A former Imam has been jailed for life, when court heard that, he has been serially abused women and girls for more than ten years, while exploiting his position as religion leaders in East London. Abdul Halim Khan 54, was sentencing on Friday at Snarebrook crown court in East London and ordered to spend at least, 20 years according to GBI. He was found guilty on February 14 of 21 offences including nine counts of rape, four counts of sexual assaults women, five counts of sexual assaults of a child under 13, five counts of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration. The court heard that Khan targeted 7 women and girls, while working as imam in East London, using his position of trust to gain access to them and exert control. He arranged meeting in secluded places and sometimes in victims' home where he carried out abuses while claiming he was a jinn(a supernatural spirit)
Prosecutors said, he also used threat link to "black magic" to frighten victim into silence, making them believed harm would come to them or their families if they speak out.
Police said, the abuses came to light in February 2018 when the youngest victim disclosed what happened to a teacher at school prompted a wider investigationsG
There's no hope for anyone in Nigeria. Travel out. No more way for poor people.
ariesbull: Why do many young Nigerians believe the only way to succeed is to leave home?
Every day, thousands dream about Europe as the ultimate escape route — better roads, stable electricity, cleaner systems, stronger currency, and a more comfortable life. On social media, it often looks perfect. People post pictures in winter jackets, airports, clean streets, and foreign apartments, making it seem like life automatically becomes successful once you leave Nigeria.
But behind many of those pictures is another story nobody talks about enough.
The truth is that only a small percentage of Nigerians abroad are genuinely thriving financially and emotionally. Yes, some people have built successful careers, businesses, and stable lives overseas, and their success deserves respect. But for the overwhelming majority, life abroad is often a constant cycle of survival, bills, and pressure.
Many Nigerians abroad are living paycheck to paycheck. After rent, taxes, transportation, childcare, insurance, and endless expenses, there is little left. Some work exhausting shifts in warehouses, factories, care homes, or cleaning jobs for years with no real ownership or long-term security to show for it. Some are constantly anxious about visas, residency papers, documentation renewals, or immigration status. Behind the smiling pictures online are sleepless nights, loneliness, depression, and fear of uncertainty.
Some people spend ten or twenty years abroad and still cannot confidently say they have built a lasting foundation either there or back home in Nigeria. No land. No investment. No business. No real roots. Just survival from one month to another.
And as time passes, deeper worries begin to appear.
Many quietly wonder what old age will look like for them abroad. Will their children, raised fully in Western culture, still value family the same way Nigerians traditionally do? Will those children want to care for them personally when they grow old, or will they eventually end up alone in care homes, visited occasionally out of obligation rather than love and connection?
Some even worry about where they will finally be buried. Back home in Nigeria among their ancestors and family roots? Or in a foreign land where their children may feel more attached to than the country their parents came from?
These are painful conversations many people avoid having openly.
Meanwhile, back in Nigeria, despite all the frustration and hardship, there are people quietly building lives with purpose, ownership, and legacy.
Nigeria is still one of the biggest untapped markets in the world. In a country with over 200 million people, almost every problem is a business opportunity waiting for someone brave enough to solve it. While many people are focused on escaping, others are building companies, brands, farms, schools, tech startups, transport businesses, and real estate portfolios.
People behind companies in Nigeria that are unicorn, like fintechs, trading firms etc and did not wait for another country to hand them opportunities. They saw possibilities inside Nigeria and built around them.
Even in entertainment, we have seen many become global names while remaining deeply connected to their Nigerian identity and culture.
And beyond celebrities, there are ordinary Nigerians who may never trend online but are building quietly every day. The man who owns a growing supermarket chain in Aba. The woman running a successful fashion business in Lagos. The young developer earning remotely from Nigeria. The farmer expanding his land year after year. These people may not post foreign pictures online, but they are creating something solid and lasting.
Of course, this does not mean Europe is bad or that nobody should travel. There are Nigerians abroad doing incredibly well, building wealth, raising healthy families, and creating opportunities. Some people genuinely need to leave for education, healthcare, security, or a better quality of life.
But maybe the real question is this:
Should success only be measured by leaving Nigeria?
Because sometimes, the person staying back to build a business, create jobs, buy land, support family, preserve culture, and leave behind a legacy may actually be building a richer life than someone abroad living from shift to shift with nothing truly theirs.
At the end of the day, earning a paycheck is one thing. Building something that outlives you is another.
