In African traditions, a man can marry more than one wife, talk more of now that they are more women than men, who go marry the rest?

Remember India will continue to remain neutral. I’d leave India out of that mix. India is playing the Turkey game, friend with everybody as long as it’s beneficial for me.
Yes you are right, but they buy from Russia too, more exports for Russia, leads to more funds for weapons.

Africa has her own problems. Terrorist sponsored by NATO and allies ravages Africa, from the Sahara belts to Congo basins. Ethiopia has been at war, Libya has been at war Nigeria has been battling boko haram and insurgency in the East. Cameron has her own troubles. Same with central African Republic, congo Kenya somalia etc. Africa Will never get involved in slave dealers, nazist and white supremacist affairs. Let Europe take care of their problems. the world is wiser now.
You can't conclude that the terrorist are sponsored from the West. Isil, Iswap, bokoharam are terrorists that have their indoctrination and ideology on radical islamic ideology. They are not founded by the West.

We are going into the era of strong reliance on economy and allies.USA will always be the world power no matter the determining factor.
You have a point, as long as they stay aligned with UK and Europe/NATO they sure will, but Russia is gradually spreading it's dominance, having India and China as allies, these two countries have almost 3billion people, Russia supplies them oil and gas product's, looking at the numbers Russia is not far off economically.
Foreign Affairs › Re: New Pre-war Era, Russia Versus NATO by baretalk(op): 11:20am On Apr 26, 2022
The world powers must start making conciliatory moves, more dialogue and compromise, Africa must play it's role in the dialogue efforts, because when the war erupts, Africa won't be spared.
Family › Safety Devices To Protect Your Children by baretalk(op):
About 2-1/2 million children are injured or killed by hazards in the home each year. The good news is that many of these incidents can be prevented – by using simple child safety devices on the market today. Any safety device you buy should be sturdy enough to prevent injury to your child, yet easy for you to use. It’s important to follow installation instructions carefully. In addition, if you have older children in the house, be sure they re-secure safety devices. Remember, too, that no device is completely childproof; determined youngsters have been known to disable them.

Here are some child safety devices that can help prevent many injuries to young children.

SAFETY LATCHES and LOCKS on cabinets and drawers can help prevent children from gaining access to medicines and household cleaners, as well as knives and other sharp objects.

Look for safety latches and locks that adults can easily install and use, but are sturdy enough to withstand pulls and tugs from children. Safety latches are not a guarantee of protection, but they can make it more difficult for children to reach dangerous substances. Even products with child-resistant packaging should he locked away, out of reach; this packaging is not childproof.

SAFETY GATES can help keep children away from stairs or rooms that have hazards in them.

Look for safety gates that children cannot dislodge easily, but that adults can open and close without difficulty. For the top of stairs, gates that screw to the wall are more secure than pressure gates.”

New safety gates that meet safety standards display a certification seal from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). If you have an older safety gate, he sure it doesn’t have “V” shapes that are large enough for a child’s head and neck to fit into.

DOOR KNOB COVERS and DOOR LOCKS can help keep children away from places with hazards, including swimming pools.
Foreign Affairs › New Pre-war Era, Russia Versus NATO by baretalk(op):
Recent World events brings back memories of Pre-war Era, prior to WW2, a global war, which featured significantly large number of casualties, and whose impact defined the modern world we live in today. (read more about WW2 here).

All of a sudden, the world is back to Pre-war era, this is “an era before a war” war machines are being built at a pace never seen, since the end of the Cold war between USA, and Soviet-union/Russia, nations are forging security and strategic alliances, sanctions like have never been heard in modern times, are being declared.

Heavy movements of military hardware
Movements of war equipment, and tightening of the economy by the state, withholding money and increasing interest rates(all in a bid to have ready liquidity and disposable assets), to fund a seeming oncoming inferno, between Russia, Europe and the US. As we all know war requires high liquidity, as nations diverts huge amounts of funds to building new advanced military equipment, so, yes the war contributes to high interest rates being witnessed in most economies of the world right now, due to monetary policies being imposed by banks, working under instructions of the central banking authority, usually controlled by the State.

European nations, UK and America being allies under NATO, while Russia seem to have formed pacts with China, Belarus, and a host of South American nations, Russia has also successfully cajoled strategic nations, like India, Pakistan, and others to stay neutral. Russia has been able to do this, due to its rich energy and gas resources, being a key supplier of refined petroleaum, AGO, and gas products across Europe, Arab, South American, and Asian nations.

Russian oil
Russia indeed has a hold of many nations drive for production, and innovation/development for their economies, because, for now, fossil fuels is still the main fuel being used, to power factories, industrial plants, and manufacturing units the world over, hence most nations will want to keep it friendly with Russia, to have a continuous steady supply of high quality fossil fuel products, to keep moving their economy forward. As we all noticed prices of diesel(AGO) increased by almost 400% ever since the war erupted, this is just one of the effect of the war on us all.
Health › How To Live A Healthy Life by baretalk(op):
Here are sure tips to help you stay healthy and strong all year round.

Eat a healthy diet
Eat a combination of different foods, including fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains. Adults should eat at least five portions (400g) of fruit and vegetables per day. You can improve your intake of fruits and vegetables by always including veggies in your meal; eating fresh fruit and vegetables as snacks; eating a variety of fruits and vegetables; and eating them in season. By eating healthy, you will reduce your risk of malnutrition and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
Reduce intake of harmful fats
Fats consumed should be less than 30% of your total energy intake. This will help prevent unhealthy weight gain and NCDs. There are different types of fats, but unsaturated fats are preferable over saturated fats and trans-fats. WHO recommends reducing saturated fats to less than 10% of total energy intake; reducing trans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake; and replacing both saturated fats and trans-fats to unsaturated fats.
The preferable unsaturated fats are found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils; saturated fats are found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard; and trans-fats are found in baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods, such as frozen pizza, cookies, biscuits, and cooking oils and spreads.

Consume less salt and sugar
Filipinos consume twice the recommended amount of sodium, putting them at risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Most people get their sodium through salt. Reduce your salt intake to 5g per day, equivalent to about one teaspoon. It’s easier to do this by limiting the amount of salt, soy sauce, fish sauce and other high-sodium condiments when preparing meals; removing salt, seasonings and condiments from your meal table; avoiding salty snacks; and choosing low-sodium products.
On the other hand, consuming excessive amounts of sugars increases the risk of tooth decay and unhealthy weight gain. In both adults and children, the intake of free sugars should be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake. This is equivalent to 50g or about 12 teaspoons for an adult. WHO recommends consuming less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits. You can reduce your sugar intake by limiting the consumption of sugary snacks, candies and sugar-sweetened beverages.

Avoid harmful use of alcohol
There is no safe level for drinking alcohol. Consuming alcohol can lead to health problems such as mental and behavioral disorders, including alcohol dependence, major NCDs such as liver cirrhosis, some cancers and heart diseases, as well as injuries resulting from violence and road clashes and collisions.

Webmasters › On Digital by baretalk(op):
There are two major search engine marketing strategies in use today: SEO (search er-click). Both strategies are entirely different and it is tough to decide which one or which combination is right for you.

To decide which strategy is best for you, consider the basics. It is easier to judge the pros and cons when taking the big picture into account. People will continue to battle for the top search engine positions. Search engine marketing is undoubtedly one of the best sources of targeted traffic.

As people continuously try to find new and unique ways to get additional traffic to their web sites, the SEO industry continues to grow. PPC refers to advertising on a search engine that charges on a per click basis whenever a visitor clicks on one of your ads. The order of ads is usually based on bidding prices, meaning that the advertiser who bids the highest price per click will be listed first. These sponsored listings are known as PPC listings.

SEO tries to change your search engine ranking by looking at a number of factors including link popularity, Page Rank and so on. If your web site is search engine optimized then obviously you are more likely to have a good ranking in the search engines. A well-optimized and marketed site will be listed in the top results whenever a person searches for related keywords. One of thebenefits of SEO marketing is you don’t have to pay for any clicks! So, how can we decide which method is better? Both methods actually serve different purposes. However, one is likely to be a better fit for your business than the other o

Crime › Ways To Avoid Entering 'one Chance' Vehicles by baretalk(op):
A friend of mine, shared a story

“It was 2pm, I dropped off my car at the mechanic, and had to rush to Ikeja, to resume at my job. Waiting at the bus stop, I saw a Toyota corolla car honking for passengers, I signaled the driver, he stopped, I checked inside to see how many passengers(due to stories of one chance, I am careful not to fall victim). I checked and it was just the driver and a passenger on the front seat.

I entered, chilling in the back of the car, the air condition blowing me, after a few metres, the driver stopped to pick up more passengers, two men entered, both decided to enter from both sides of the door, sandwiching me in the middle.

I thought nothing of it, but alas 50 meters into the journey, the guy on the left, grabbed me, while the other on the right side, pulled out a knife, stabbing my legs, the other guy at the front seat, brought out a hammer, he was hitting my knees severely with the hammer.

At this point I was weak, they did not relent, they were blowing my face, hitting me with hammer, and stabbing my body at the same time, I quickly gave them my phone, but they requested for the password, and forced me to transfer all the amount I have in the account to them. I had no choice but to succumb, i lost all my savings that day, and was dropped off with severe injuries, on the road”.

We have heard thousands of stories about “one chance” operators, in Nigeria, hence we thought it necessary, to share with Nigerians some tips, on avoiding these armed robbers, that pose as transporters.

Avoid entering private vehicles: most one chance syndicates, use private vehicles, for their operations, and most Nigerians usually fall prey, perhaps due to rush, trying to get somewhere or meet up to and appointment, safety first, avoid entering private vehicles, posing as transporters, wait patiently for normal colored buses.

Do not enter a vehicle you did not stop: most one chance operators are opportunists, sometimes they trap their victims, by luring them to enter their vehicles.

Do not enter a vehicle, that just stops to pick you, without you indicating for it to stop, be patient, observe, and stop the right vehicle you need to enter…use your eyes, ears and instincts, when on the road.

One chance operators are more prevalent at night: Be extra careful when moving at night, if possible, use a taxi, at night is when most cases of one chance incidents are recorded, they use the cover of night to perpetuate the evil act.

Avoid vehicles with tinted glasses: When choosing a taxi or bus, make sure the windows are not tinted, as this gives the criminals more advantage.

Politics › African Democracy System, Threats And Weaknesses by baretalk(op):
Africa’s democracy has been plagued since inception, it seems the people of Africa, are not benefiting much from this political system.

With this article, we want to take a look at the hindrances and “obstacles” on the way of Africa, to attaining true democracy.

Democracy is about the people, by the people, and for the people.
‘Politics’ written in Greek

The propounders of modern day Democracy, ‘demokratia'(in ancient Greek language), in Ancient Greece, deliberately wanted democracy to be about the people. As Wikipaedia defines it demokratia, from demos ‘people’, and kratos ‘rule’, put together, demo and kratos simply means ‘people’s rule’ So clearly democracy was intended to be about the people, the majority, and not a minority ruling class. it goes further “It is a form of government, in which the people have the authority, to deliberate, and decide legislation(“direct democracy”), or to choose governing officials, to do so (“representative democracy”). Cornerstones of democracy include freedom of assembly, association, speech, inclusiveness and equality, citizenship, consent of the governed,voting rights, freedom from unwarranted governmental deprivation of the right to life, liberty and minority rights.

In Africa today, there is so much disparity, between the governing political class, and the governed, who are the people.

This disparity is seen everywhere in our society in Africa. Let us use Nigeria, as a case study.

The following outlined below, are some obstacles, of the way of Africans, Nigerians, on our path to harnessing our full potentials, that true democracy brings, this can only be done through conscious politics of truth, but the reverse is the case in Africa, let us seek solutions to these problems.

1.Huge disparity in salaries between members of the public service, In some parts of Africa, politicians spend up to 40% of national revenue, paying fat jumbo salaries and allowances, to governors, senators, Ministers, etc., while Police, military recruits/junior officers, teachers, civil servants are paid less than 1% of what the political office holders earn, not mentioning billions always budgeted for their yearly new luxury vehicles, costs of their overall maintenance etc. This is a huge inequality and corruption being practiced.
