Gerrard59: I talk am....
Dem think say because EXPO is held, Japan would have open borders to Black Africans.
If I talk now, dem go say I get low self esteem.
P.S. The worst experience a Black African person (mostly men) can get in this region is being in detention. It is better one goes back quietly. Japan is even better. Outside the big East Asian countries and maybe Singapore (provided no drugs), it is better for the person to relocate to Kwara or Borno than be inside detention in Asia.  |

Gerrard59: Does this mean there are more single women than eligible bachelors? What do you recommend for this group of women since normal monogamy is expensive? If have to get used to the fact that not everyone will marry in today's world even if they desire it. Everyone won't be rich Everyone won't use a car Everyone won't build a house and so many more. I know it is a bitter truth to swallow. If they are struggling to tame down a reasonable spouse, they should opt for getting pregnant and raising the kids themselves or else they die childless (a sizeable percentage will fall into this category too) Another option is to swallow their pride and date/marry down. There are many men poverty has humbled who are really hardworking. I know how hard going down to pick a spouse for ladies because going down looks as if they have failed and not getting who they really like or attractive but it is what it is. Life humbles us all at one point or another. They date down, raise a loan or get a cooperative for the man to start something so that he can be contributing a quota at home no matter what. Men date down all the time and heaven didn't fall. We set-up ladies, sponsor them to school, open businesses for them and heaven didn't fall. |

Apcnewrecruit: America and Europe told them polygamy is sin but they're in support of homosexuals
Africans let's go back to our roots. Monogamy is not our thing. Don't be decieve by the whites But polygamy is very expensive. Infact, even monogamy is very expensive in today's atmosphere. Raising family goes beyond just knacking and having kids like rabbits, good education and other quality things are involved. |

-Lord That is one thing people don't know. They thought only isreal/mossad are good at spying. Only if they know the sheer number of spies roam isreal, infact isreal streets are smelling of spies. That is why Iran has been calm even with the pending attack from isreal. They have more than enough information to cause major harm on isreal |

casualobserver: In the formative years f this country, the most intelligent people were teachers and university lecturers. Lucky are we who benefitted from their tutelage.
The problem with many of you is by the time you started school, the good teachers stopped seeing teaching as a viable profession and only people who couldn’t get good jobs elsewhere went into teaching.
This is why foreign institutions now require applicants from a country that professes English as its official language to take tests in English proficiency before admission.
You are only as good as the system that produced you. Hmmmmmm Oro nla. You are only as good as the system that produced you. |

WriterrNg: ⚡🇷🇺 VLADIMIR PUTIN:
"The power of the United States and its allies reached its peak at the end of the 20th century.
But there has never been, nor will there ever be, a force capable of ruling the world, dictating everyone how to act, how to live, even how to breathe.
Such attempts have been made, but every one of them has failed.
However, we must recognise that many found that so-called liberal world order acceptable and even convenient.
True, a hierarchy severely limits opportunities for those not perched at the top of the pyramid, or, if you prefer, the top of the food chain.
But those at the bottom were relieved of responsibility.
The rules were simple: accept the terms, fit into the system, receive your share, however modest, and be content. Others would think and decide for you.
And no matter what anyone says now, no matter how some try to disguise the reality – that is how it was.
The experts gathered here remember and understand this perfectly well.
Some, in their arrogance, saw themselves entitled to lecture the rest of the world.
Others were content to play along with the powerful as obedient bargaining chips, eager to avoid unnecessary trouble in exchange for a modest but guaranteed bonus.
There are still many such politicians in the old part of the world, in Europe.
Those who dared object and tried to defend their own interests, rights, and views, were at best dismissed as eccentrics.
They were told, in effect: "You will not succeed, so give up and accept that compared to our power, you are a nonentity."
As for the truly stubborn, they were "educated" by the self-proclaimed global leaders, who no longer even bothered to hide their intent.
The message was clear: resistance was pointless.
But this did not bring anything good.
Not a single global problem was resolved.
On the contrary, new ones are constantly multiplying.
Institutions of global governance created in an earlier era either ceased to function or lost much of their effectiveness.
And no matter how much strength or resources one state, or even a group of states, may accumulate, power always has its limits.
As the Russian audience knows, there is a saying in Russia: "There’s no counter to a crowbar, except another crowbar," meaning you don’t bring a knife to a gunfight, but another gun.
And indeed, that "other gun" can always be found.
This is the very essence of world affairs: a counterforce always emerges.
And attempts to control everything inevitably generate tension, undermining stability at home and prompting ordinary people to ask a very fair question of their governments: "Why do we need all this?"
I once heard something similar from our American colleagues, who said: "We gained the whole world, but lost America."
I can only ask: Was it worth it? And did you truly gain anything at all?" Hmmmmmm Words of wisdom. The west just want a pyramidal society where they are on top and others accept whatever quota is given to them without complains. A very satanic plan |

They mean absolutely nothing to me. If them near me, I will spit on their faces. I agree. All they know how to do is eat free foods and get free money (tax, commissions and duties) from the laboring masses without adding anything back.

Gerrard59: It would be worse for us because we are way too divided. Lord was apt with his narration about the efficacy of sanctions on a global level and why China has to create a second economic system for would-be countries to participate and thrive in. Talking about Iran, they are just too incompetent, as they had the opportunity to arm themselves way ahead of time. I believe if they had nukes, they would have been in a strong negotiating position. Will the nukes work if their are too many saboteurs? They will even be the ones to give the location of the nukes just like the did with the air defence systems blown off by isreal within iran. |

LordAdam16: Venezuelans have been battered by economic terrorism (that's what unilateral Hegemonic sanctions are).
Kind of how the Iranian public voted for Pezeshkian because they wanted respite from the harsh economic situation.
At the end of the day, it may not be about myopia as it is about survival.
I keep repeating that the Hegemony's most potent weapon is its economic pincers. Venezuela like Syria has been softened up and has a large enough segment of the population that want the tribulations to end.
China and the Axis needs to hurry up with an alternative economic system. It's neither easy nor fun to be North Korea and Cuba. Think about the current condition of Nigeria and what it would be like if we were not even able to export oil, gas, agricultural produce, or even buy things on credit. On top of the pervasive corruption and inefficiencies. All of our pro-Western 🤡🤡🤡 on the thread will be promising their masters in Washington their blood to overthrow and kill the President Qaddafi style. You can absolutely see that happening.
We are just one policy, one pronouncement away from fellow citizens here becoming armed agents for a Libyan type total collapse.
This is why for all his faults, Putin is a genius. Why the CCP for all its drawbacks is a phenom of the ages. And it's not like they can even rest easy despite having trillions in savings. It's an ongoing fight every day.
-Lord  80% of nigerians would be willing to kill the president at first sight. Economic sanction is devilish. I can't just imagine that happening in Nigeria....it will be total disaster. Such government would be booted out quickly. Another problem with sanctions is that it renders the citizens soooo useless that, people would be falling on each other to be recruited as spies for foreign agents for as low as $20. The government won't have anywhere to hide because any top secret meting would be revealed instantly the meeting finishes by atleast 5 members in the meeting. This is why iran is not finding it easy with espionages and double/tripple agents within her rank. |

The next bodies exchange will however tell a different story. Might be a 🇺🇦 2000 to 🇷🇺 19 ratio this time. The bodies exchange are those who died behind enemy line and for Ukraine, the number is huge. Just imagine the number of those who died within Ukraine battle line that they have silently buried. If there is a battle between Nigeria and Benin rep. At seme border and we exchanged bodies at 20 ratio 1000, imagine those who died at the Benin rep. Side of the border. |

Travel › Re: Memoirs From Chile by emmaodet: 12:32am On Sep 26, 2025 |
tensazangetsu20: I grew up poor in Nigeria, so I learned to guard every little thing I get. Life was hard, so I always think about tomorrow. I worry I may not get money again. That feeling made me keep everything to myself.
Since I moved to Chile, that mindset still follows me. I am very careful with money. My girlfriend even told me I am stingy. That surprised me.
For example, I share a small room even though I can afford a better place. I could pay three years’ rent with one month’s salary, but I still stay where I am. I do not spend on clothes. I have never taken a vacation here. I mostly stay in my neighbourhood and only went to Santiago one day for a job interview.
It is not because I do not have money. Poverty in Nigeria left deep fears in me. I would rather protect what I have than risk losing it. Sometimes the fear is so bad I would rather not face a future with poverty. People may call me crazy, but these are the scars I carry. I am trying to change, but it is taking time. Don't beat yourself over it. You will come out of it with time. You will loosen up. I call it Post-Poverty Trauma (PPT). Where you are scared of spending unnecessarily due to long exposure to hardship. Something very very common in Nigeria. Reason why when you loosen up and start spending, families and friends in Nigeria always look at someone as wicked or wasteful because they believe you have to be extremely careful in spending it and should only be investing - their investment is mostly to dey buy land and mould block they build yeye houses sef. There is this fear deep down you that keeps reminding you that poverty is lurking just behind the corner breathing down on you ready to pounce on you if you nogede. It seems you are feeling the heavy breathing of poverty just close by waiting for you to make just a single simple mistake. Have been there, I was there but slowly I started loosening up. It was from buying 15k clothes to over 40k ones, sneakers started upgrading, perfumes sometimes over 100k and so many more. Food taste and choices started changing, attending events/vacations/movies at cinemas and so many more. My wife observed me for a long time a day and just said have changed a lot. We don't argue about money again nor does she have to ask and ask or talk and talk before I do small small things. I just do them quietly even beyond her expectations and she always get surprised. Chaii.... God punish poverty and Nigerian Politicians .... Amen |

Romance › Re: Reality Every Guy Need To Know ( STRICTLY REDPILL) ... by emmaodet: 6:24am On Sep 25, 2025 |
If you survive losing the woman you loved most, you can survive anything. Losing the woman you loved most is one of the deepest emotional trials a man can face—it shakes your identity, your sense of security, and even your vision for the future. But if you endure it without breaking, you discover an inner strength that becomes unshakable. Pain forces growth, and heartbreak teaches discipline, self-respect, and emotional resilience. Once you learn to rebuild yourself from that kind of loss, setbacks in business, friendships, or life challenges become easier to face—because you’ve already survived the hardest test of the heart. The real strength is in the man he becomes afterward. That kind of pain is either an anchor or jet fuel. Choose the fuel. |
