And it's you a cry baby that we need to stop security? His only contribution is to speak English and textbook definition without tailoring to custom Nigeria problem.

Same Obi Pandora that can't muster the courage to speak against baby terrorists like IPOB is the one that will now face Ansaru, Boko Haram, Bandits, and killer Fulani herdsmen.

If it is easy by just speaking English, Soludo should have contained the IPOB terrorists in Anambra but now the poor man understand whats'up coz IPOB just burn a whole secretariat in his LG.
I watched the video of his adress. Left for me I don't even want any Igbo man to come out for president.

The country is in total mess and an Igbo man becoming president of the country, with the way everything is going, is a no no.

Let those that messed up the country fix it.

Nigeria spends 98% of it's income to service debt. And nothing tangible can be pointed to the debt.

So Peter Obi should just forget about it. Let those that messed up the country fix it. Simple

its a very strange feeling bro. Most times i just look at my woman and the thought that this seemingly "angelic" and loving being could easily have her hypergamy switch on at anytime(AWALT) actually gives me the chills. like someone posited earlier on its difficult to understand women and still love them at the same time. But its very risky to wander in the maze of ignorance that pervades the blue pilled world. Better to understand women, know what they are capable of and still maintain healthy relationships with them than be ignorant. Knowledge is power
being ignorant is very dangerous

Knowledge is power indeed

I'm watching the UCL Chelsea game and can't help but imagine what Thomas Tuchel is going through due to a divorce I'm sure he never expected would come. How he wan dey think tactics?

When most men want to severe a relationship, I hear them talk about "waiting for the right time" or trying to be rational and logical.

Look at TT. A man trying to defend his UCL title with his team and a wife of several years can't even wait for the season to end before launching divorce proceedings.


I go always dey talk am. An average woman is emotionally stronger than an average male. An average male is physically stronger than an average female.

This match just dey vex me.
Zero judgement to those who'd never want to marry. It almost always turns out to be a venture that makes you lose out ultimately.

When the number of bandits gets equal to or outnumber the number of security men that's when Nigerians and their demonic government will wake up, by then whole states will be taken over by banditry in the north, skull miners will over turn all graves on the west .
I think this is not only the end of a chapter but the end of the story book called Nigeria, thanks to Buhari ,elrufai, Tinubu, osinbajo, Akande, bakare, Aregbesola.

I once opined here on nairaland that Buhari will give Ipob Biafra on a platter without them firing a single bullet, right now it is happening.
This report by this cleric is very very alarming. Big time bomb is facing the North and then the whole country, if not handled properly.

That these bandits consists of 10 to 12 year olds is very very scary.

I believe the entire nation should join hands to tackle this menace.
If they overrun the North they will come down South.

Even down South, we are not safe. Especially in the East. Esn and unknown gunmen are causing there own havoc.

Honestly Nigeria is sitting on a serious time bomb.

If menace is unleashed
Who will save us?
Is it the West or China?
What is happening in Ukraine should teach us lesson

Black Africans should understand that we are on our own.

And the earlier we shun religious bigotry, tribalism, ethnicity and come collectively to seek solutions to our problems. The earliest time is now

Because when casala burst
The West nor the East will not send us.
There hands are already full
And we are inconsequential to them.

CaveAdullam:
I will not really concur that religion put a lot of power in the hands of women. Because if you really check it in the Bible you'll find out it was men calling all the shots from Genesis to Revelations, women's aspect was not really pronounced.

Different religious interpretations + the government now in charge of marriage + (the advent of simps) are the real culprits. Add tolerance to this equation and you'll arrive at the current mess we are talking about. If we're to even follow the Christian doctrine unbiased, women don't have any power.

Even Christian men are way more effeminate than their biblical counterparts. Many are just running with a baton they don't understand how come about + there's a mixture of religious doctrines and secularism.

What women are truly taking advantage of in religion is the doctrine of forgiveness, and it is really a good leverage for them. And this same 'forgiveness' is the downfall of Christian men because in order to be seen as saints of God, they must recede into the feminine imperative. After all, they are practicing what their religion admonish them.

Lest I forget, what about Rehab, Mary Magdalene and the adulterous woman? They were all forgiven.



Christian men will always misconstrue vetting as being judgmental..."judge not so that ye may not be judge..."

Many even want to please their clergymen, so once this clergyman spot a repentant wh0re, they don't waste time in commiting, couple alongside the sexual deprivation they've experienced for a long time..."thank you o Lord, it is high time I cúm". The fear of missing out, family pressure, religious pressure etc always makes these men hasten into a long term relationship.

Though, it will be impossible to achieve a singular religious interpretation, however, to the nemeses splayed across the sexual market place, religion will be an effective tool as a means of correction. Let religion be in full charge of marriage or let the state accords punishment as necessary, and these messes will greatly reduce.

Thanks.
I believe also, that the white man watered down many powers that men had, from Bible perspective

After all Paul said women shouldn't talk in church. Should just keep there mouths shut.

I have seen an online debates where feminists were insulting St Paul, that he was highly misogynistic

It's the white man that used a different version of interpretation to make men weaker.

Is there anything like submission being encouraged nowadays? Typically no

But the New testament stood for women's submission

So stubborn, won't give men peace of mind.

Go through the page and see the comments of many married men to this story and you will see that many homes there is no peace at all

I'm begging to see men may start going polygamous again. Because these one man one wife is causing a lot of issues.

Our forefathers were polygamous, my maternal grandfather had three wives while my paternal grandfather had two wives.

It's just from our parents generations, men started marrying one wife.

But the modern women are not appreciating that.
They have no iota of respect for there husband's

Men may revert back to doing what there forefathers were doing, because the modern women are quite a handful.

They were never like our mothers at all.

Everything no be by gragra. In my opinion, all you have stated she did is not enough for you to take that drastic and cold-hearted decision on her.

Even my own wife I dey try mold her small small and she can be adamant, telling me how I cannot tell her what to do but she's taking note. And little by little your kind of woman starts sprouting slowly. It takes time but you'll surely get there.

The major determinants of oil prices is OPEC cartels and Russia.

If US pump from there reserve, which is very minute compared to oil producing countries and OPEC cartels with Russia cut there supplies, the prices will still not go down.


For America to be serious about this oil issue is an indication it's really affecting them

This Russian Ukraine debacle has really opened up so much problems across the world.

A serious recession worse than 2008 financial crisis and Asia's 1997 financial crisis is around the corner. If not properly handled will bring about a lot of things.

Whether you are dating a white, black or Asian woman, as a man you must must pay bills, this has nothing to do with being a Simp, paying bills gives you more confidence.

Lets's imagine, you and your girlfriend go on a date to a nice restaurant and the waiter brings the bill to you, are you telling me that you will allow your girlfriend to pay the bills in the presence of the waiter, as a man in that situation, paying the bills gives you more respect in the eyes of the waiter and also gives you more confidence.

We shouldn't be deceived by all those people who want to change societal roles, men who don,t pay bills naturally feel distressed,afraid,depressed and aggressive, it is just something that comes with nature.

If you like go outside and have baby mamas, if you can not afford to pay for the bills that comes with taking care of the child and the mother, as a man, you will feel helpless seeing your child in distressed and not being able to support that child, no wonder, when a man that can not pay bills impregnate a woman, he tells her to abort the child or he runs away.

Go check men who are married without jobs and can not afford to pay bills,many of them are depressed, suicidal and aggressive, they lash out easily on everyone that is as a result of not fulfilling the responsibility of being a man.

Lets be realistic, as a man, we can not avoid paying bills, it is just one of the responsibility that comes with the yoke of being the creators of civilizations.

if you can not pay bills, avoid getting married, avoid having a girlfriend, avoid society, that is the only way, but as long you want to live and participate in every sphere of society, move up the ladder in society, you must pay bills as a man. that is your yoke.
Story story story
man pay bills woman also pay bills

Even when a man was living as single, he paid his personal bills, likewise woman too

Leaving everything for the man is a no no. Everyone must follow pay the bills

Anyway very many guys are getting wiser.
You don't go and carry load wey pass you, just to prove you are a man.

Foreign AffairsRe: Ukraine: What Will Happen If EU & NATO Countries Refuse To Pay For Russia's Gas? by djon78(m): 3:41pm On Mar 30, 2022
Horus:
The Russian central bank pegged 1 gram of gold to 5000 Rubles (currently, about 50 bucks).

At the same time, Putin made it so that Russian gas and oil can only be purchased in Rubles.

Meaning: Putin basically just pegged Russian oil and gas to gold, using paper rubles as a proxy.

Meaning: Europe will need to either buy Rubles from Putin in gold, in order to buy gas and oil, or they will have to buy directly in gold. Which means, there will soon be a lot more demand for rubles.

Currently, the forex rate for rubles to dollars is about 100:1.

But... with 5000 rubles now equaling 1 gram of gold, and oil being priced directly in gold, you're going to see a massive price disruption in these FOREX markets, in terms of how much gold a dollar can actually still buy.

Foreign countries holding our dollar debt notes in reserve will see less of a use for them, and will want to start dumping them, in order to get something more stable, something which holds its value.

Basically any currency pegged to gold now will fit the bill. Which means those countries like Japan will be dumping their dollar debt as fast as they can. They're are NOT going to go down with the ship. And they will move into more stable currencies like the Ruble.

Which will have a deflationary effect on the Ruble, making it more valuable over time.

Which means Putin will be able to re-peg the Ruble to Gold at whatever rate he wants, down the line. It's 5000 rubles today.
Tomorrow, it might be 500. And then 100. And then 10.

This also means all those excess dollars being dumped by foreign nations are about to come home and cause even worse hyperinflation than we're seeing.

Is it any wonder Biden is up on stage pleading with Europeans for regime change in Russia? He's about to have masses of angry and starving people marching through the streets here at home, demanding answers.
I said it in some previous thread that since the end of world war 2, America and her Western allies hijacked the global financial system.


As far back as 2010, I schooled overseas, my flat mate who was deep into global finance, schooled me on the present financial economic system.

Before 1945, countries used gold as the underlying assets on there currencies.
But after the second world war the Westerners removed that.
Today all the Dollars circulating around the world is just paper. With No underlying asset.


Gaddafi knew this, that's why he announced during the crisis in Libya, that he will henceforth collect only gold for Libya's oil.

Immediately NATO, Obama, Clinton went after him, and killed him.

Many global leaders Know this, except ignorant African leaders. But with what happened to Gaddafi, nobody dared.

But Putin because of his strong man and strong nation, waited for this opportunity to do this.
And because they can't do him anything.

Serious financial crisis is loading, because this will rock the foundations of global financial system.

Sure, good point. No doubt about gas being very important. But in the next 10 - 20 years, the world is moving to other friendly sources of energy, and you know that mean gas will be in lesser demand compared to some other commodities the world cannot do without. And as you mentioned, the reason why Russia is holding knife to EU's neck is the proximity of Russia to EU and the already available infrastructure in places. If gas is everything without other technologies, that can even substitute Gas power e.g Nuclear Energy, Semi conductors, Software etc, then Middle East Countries should be the Richest and the largest Economy in the world. UAE is the only middle east country that realized this on time and started diversifying and investing in Science and Technology.
Let me tell you
Many people are making mistakes in thinking that fossil fuel will go away quickly

I don't even see fossil fuel going away in the next 100 years.


Who would have believed that price of oil will ever reach $130 today.

For man to develop technologies to overcome fossil fuel, it will require a very big miracle

Those technologies you mentioned cannot substitute gas because they are costly and hazardous.

Gas is a very cheap source of energy and it is in abundance on the Earth.

UAE diversified into service sector that's why tourism brings them huge income.
It's not just technologies.
They invested massively in world class infrastructures, education, airlines to give them a competitive advantage

Every sensible Nation invests in things that will give them competitive advantage over other nations.

The Chinese invested in low cost manufacturing which has given them competitive advantage over other nations.
The West cannot do that because of high minimum wage which will cause the cost of goods to be away from there common man.

The Germans invested in high technological manufacturing and efficiency. Which stands them apart from others.

Likewise the Japanese even nation's like India, Brazil, Turkey etc all invested in what will give them advantage

The world has been designed that if a Nation get herself organized and focused, they will do fine.

That's why I weep for African nation's most especially Nigeria. I really weep for this Nation.

If Russia wins the sanctions, then it has won the Ukraine war. I am beginning to think that the Russia-Ukraine war has more to do with geopolitical and economic ramifications than what is happening in the battlefield.
The real battle is not even the ammunition, missiles and the rest.

The major battle is economy.
The West threw all they had at Russia and Russia is now fighting back.

Many nation's are now seeing the danger ahead and after this Russian Ukraine debacle, there will be a lot of readjustment.

For the past 100 years the West has been in control of the world, it's financial economic systems.
This has given them so much leverage.
But in the past 3 decades many nation's are rising up economically and development wise. They have invested massively in education and technologies which has bridged the gap. That's why a Nation like China came from no where to become the second biggest economy in the world.

So after this war, the Western economic power will be whitled more.

The problem with Africa is more about bad leadership that has not invested massively in education and technologies.
Therefore we have an uneducated, extremely myopic people. And this is a very big danger for this continent.

Also we have a people that view everything from the eyes of the West.
When many Africans visit some other parts of the world apart from the West; Dubai, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, South Korea etc
There world view will change.

These nation's have excellent standard of living and the good life. Well educated populace and vision driven purposeful leadership

Why making Russian gas a big deal as if the whole world is built to need Russian gas before the world survive? How about things that doesn't need gas or Russian gas, think about that. How will Russia meet up or replenished what they procure from the same western countries. Give me the substancial counts of Russian companies on Fortune 500, which are those significant companies that controls nearly if not more than half of the world market of actual needs than only gas.
Gas is very very important because it is energy.
It is used for absolutely everything, from running companies to running homes.
The importance can not be under emphasized

Example look at effect of Nigeria without diesel, Petrol and power for the past weeks

Energy is more like the life blood of a Nation. Without it, everything crumbles

Concerning Russian gas and Europe. The Europeans have no alternative to Russian gas for now because Russia is very close to Europe, Russia has the infrastructure already; gas pipelines to Europe.
This makes gas from Russia very cheap to European consumers

Gases from other places even the US comes at an extreme high cost to the European consumers and in addition the distance is a huge problem.

To move gas in it's liquified form LNG required tankers that will carry it along the ocean.
Carrying it in tankers across the ocean takes longer time and cannot even scratch a bit of the demand rather than simply turning the tap of Russias gas pipelines which in hours has reached it's destination

So this is a very major problem for Europe. Geographic position put Russia in so much advantage.

For Europe to even develop an alternative will take even up to 10 years to build such infrastructure and the cost will be astronomical

Europe is in a very big dilemma and no one can save them.

That's why analyst are seeing what Russia did by announcing the payment in rubbles.
It will strengthen there currency because Euros and dollars will be chasing rubble making rubble appreciate in value. Major reason Naira depreciates is because Nigeria is not an exporting Nation.
