Foreign AffairsRe: How Israel Lured Ayatollah To His Doom With Fake Dinner Trap Then Blew Him Up… by DrAda(f): 11:05pm On Mar 05
So why reveal this to the world? I don't buy it. They are probably releasing this piece of information to elicit an expected reaction. A ploy that engages some form of reverse psychology

That's the whole point. If you can't get a seat at the table, turn that table over. Next will be his son. The more outrageous the better. Nd you know what, it's working. Noone is talking about the Epstein files anymore.

House of cards, Season 5, Episodes 10–12 in full play. When legitimacy is questioned, create a bigger threat. Escalate fear. This shifts the focus and never fails. Shout-out to Epstein
Foreign AffairsRe: Iranian Hypersonic Missile Strikes Tel Aviv (Video, Photos) by DrAda(f): 10:22am On Mar 02
So this is officially a war? I only ask because the media seem to be avoiding that word.

On further review, I realised that the word has been used quite often in a good number of media outlets.

Interesting times

Why is the site always promoting noisemakers like Nyesom Wike and Reno Omokri?
This. Another example of the moderators being clearly compromised. I wish Seun will start by changing the front page moderator(s).
Nairaland GeneralRe: Nairalanders, Talk To Me About Nairaland by DrAda(f):
@Seun

Change your moderators. They are clearly unrefined and compromised. A lot has been said but personally what concerns me the most is that your moderators are profiting off the site by pushing tribalistic, anti opposition topics to the front page. It is appalling. Been here since 2009 I believe. This is my second handle. I won't recommend this site to anyone. At this point, it is dangerous and an effective weapon used to destroy the values and ideologies of the young minds amongst us.

Change your moderators.
HealthRe: Chest Pains: Am I Having A Heart Attack? by DrAda(f): 5:52pm On Mar 01
You went to a lab to do the test. You weren't seen or examined by a doctor? How is this even possible? What if you end up being wrongly diagnosed?

My first impression was GERD. But here you are being told that you have heart attack. Wonderful

This.👏👏 A classic case of the boy who cried wolf. Are we now expected to believe this exposé hook, line and sinker when they initially denied any knowledge of a coup? What stops them from bending the truth yet again tomorrow?

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do We Celebrate The Rich More Than The Poor In Some Churches? by DrAda(f): 9:23am On Feb 23
Human nature I guess. Rich equals prosperity, abundance, God's Promise, Heaven while Poor is synonymous with hunger, strife, death, devil's promise, hell.

We all instinctively discriminate between the rich and the poor. That of the church is only more noticeable because it occurs in an enclosed space. It's sad but that has been the way of things since the days of old and will be tough to get rid of.

A tidbit from Chatgpt when I enquired:

1. WEALTH SEEN AS GOD'S BLESSING
Abraham

- Genesis 13:2 – Abraham was “very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.”

- His wealth was presented as part of God’s covenant blessing.

- Prosperity = evidence of divine favour.

Solomon

- 1 Kings 10:23 – Solomon surpassed all kings in riches and wisdom.

- His wealth symbolised God’s promise fulfilled to David.

- Prosperity was seen as a sign of divine approval.

Job (before his suffering)

- Job 1:3 – Described as the greatest man of the East, wealthy and blessed.

- Wealth was interpreted as proof of righteousness.



2. POVERTY SEEN AS A CURSE OR DIVINE DISPLEASURE

- Deuteronomy 28 – Obedience brings prosperity; disobedience brings poverty and suffering.

- This shaped Israel’s worldview: poverty often assumed to be a punishment.

Job (during suffering)

- Job’s friends assumed his suffering meant hidden sin.

- Poverty and loss were equated with divine judgement.

- This is one of the clearest examples of moral discrimination based on material state.

Lazarus

- In the parable (Luke 16:19–31), the rich man lived in luxury while Lazarus suffered.

- Socially, the rich man would have been assumed blessed.

- Jesus reverses the assumption: Lazarus is comforted; the rich man is tormented.

- This parable directly challenges the idea that riches equal heaven.



3. EXPLICIT CONDEMNATION OF DISCRIMINATION
James

- James 2:1–4 : If a rich man enters and you give him special seating, but tell the poor man to stand — you have become judges with evil thoughts.

- This is direct rebuke of church-based class bias.

- It shows the instinct to honour wealth was already present in early Christianity.



4. PROVERBS REFLECTING SOCIAL REALITY

- The book of Proverbs often observes (not necessarily endorses) the social pattern:

- Proverbs 14:20 – “The poor is hated even by his neighbour, but the rich has many friends.”

- Proverbs 19:4 – “Wealth attracts many friends.”

- Proverbs 22:7 – “The rich rule over the poor.”

- These verses describe the reality of social discrimination.



5. JESUS CONFRONTING WEALTH ASSUMPTIONS
Jesus

- Matthew 19:23–24 – “It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

- Luke 6:20–24 – “Blessed are you who are poor… Woe to you who are rich.”

- This was radically countercultural in a society that equated prosperity with God’s favour.
CelebritiesRe: Outrage As Simi’s 2012 Post ‘Sexualising’ Four-Year-Old Boy Resurfaces Online by DrAda(f):
A part of me wants to say that the tweets seem rather harmless but if I am to be absolutely fair, then the same standard meted out to males should also apply to the females. If a male had written this, then these tweets will be considered absolutely disturbing.

But on second thought, Simi is not male but female and I think the issue on ground is that we are seeing this from a different lens in 2026 with Epstein and what not being the topic of concern. If this was 2012, noone would have paid heed to any of these tweets. Case in point is the recent documentary - America's Next Top Model on Netflix. Tyra Banks and her team did a lot of 'horrible' things to the contestants which now are considered abominable but back then was pretty acceptable. Tyra and her production team now admit that they were wrong and stupid back then but to their credit, that was the culture at the time so they didn't know any better.

I perfectly understand why Simi is being called out now. Like someone said, we all should be very careful of the things we post online, it may seem harmless today but can be viewed very differently decades down the line. I wish her well. This will be tough to get out from.
