It is those who fail to grasp the deep entanglement of Western support for Israel, particularly in its ongoing military operations in Gaza, widely condemned as acts of genocide against the Palestinian people.

This support, which includes billions in military aid from the United States and diplomatic shielding from accountability at institutions like the United Nations, is directly linked to the erosion of civil and political rights worldwide.

Moreover, the complicity of international institutions, including the UN Security Council’s repeated failure to enforce resolutions against Israeli violations of international law, underscores the broader corruption and dysfunction that have allowed this crisis to persist unchecked.

They no longer control the narrative, and whole can see whom the real Terrorist are. For how long do they think they can continue with this Injustice?

Let’s be kind to Nigeria, please
Simon Kolawole
“Nigeria is finished patapata!” Do you often hear that? I have observed over time that there are people who get excited by negative news concerning Nigeria. If the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reports that we have recorded a negative GDP growth rate or the economy is heading for a recession, they will be the first to share the news. If the NBS says unemployment and inflation rates have skyrocketed, they will circulate the news with full determination. But if the same NBS says inflation rate has slowed or unemployment has dropped, they will scoff and start questioning the credibility of the data. The only acceptable NBS data to them is the one that says things are bleak.

When foreign companies shut down operations and leave our shores, these guys roll out the drums. It is yet another confirmation that “Nigeria is finished patapata”. It doesn’t matter if the same companies are also shutting down in many other African countries as a result of a change in business strategy or because of local (and global) economic challenges. As long as a foreign company is leaving Nigeria, that is all that counts. “Nigeria is finished patapata!” Some Nigerians are over the moon. It is a confirmation of their theory that nothing good can come out of Nigeria. But when a new foreign company opens shop here, they tactically go mute or belittle it and explain it away. They sound sad.

For over a decade, multinational oil companies have been divesting from their onshore investments in Nigeria. We know why. Oil theft went out of hand, pipeline vandalism became epidemic, and host communities got more hostile, among several other factors. The oil companies have been selling their onshore assets to local consortiums while shifting focus to the more secure and more favourable deep offshore fields where oil theft is next to nil, where there are no host communities apart from the congregation of sharks and dolphins, and where pipelines cannot be vandalised. But the lovely news for some is that they are leaving Nigeria in droves. And this calls for champagne.

So, when it was announced recently that Shell had made a final investment decision for a deepwater oil and gas project, it tasted sour in the mouths of some people. This is a $5 billion investment. Five billion dollars. Depression instantly set in for some guys. Their day was ruined and they must have lost their appetite. They find the fact that Nigerian companies are taking over the onshore assets of the multinationals very heartbreaking. They would rather no local company has the capacity to pull the technical and commercial resources to seal these mega deals. To the best of my knowledge, divestments have been happening regularly since 2010 and Nigerian companies are benefiting.

When Nigerians were experiencing absolute chaos in passport application, it was an international embarrassment. I was ashamed as a Nigerian. Things have eased significantly, but Mr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the interior minister, has taken a step further by leveraging on technology to make processes smoother. With a successful pilot scheme, Nigerians will soon be able to renew their passports via a “contactless system” — from the comfort of their homes. This is expected to be rolled out in more cities in 2025. Also, travellers will soon be using e-gates at the international airports to reduce time wasted by manual processing. This is not the sort of news some people love to share.

Whenever foreign organisations or personalities say something negative about Nigeria, come and see the radiation on the faces of some Nigerians. It’s as if they hit the jackpot. Whether it is Transparency International (TI) rating Nigeria as the most corrupt country in Africa or Prime Minister David Cameron saying “Nigeria is fantastically corrupt”, you can literally “swim” in the unspeakable joy of some Nigerians. They will share it on Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Instagram and every platform available on Planet Earth. But if the same TI says Nigeria has improved or a foreign political leader says Nigeria is making some progress, these guys will be downcast — or even allege they were induced to say so.

You may not believe this, but there are music stars who made their fame and fortune in Nigeria before gaining global recognition — only to travel out and start advising people not to come to the country. There are people who schooled in Nigeria virtually for free only to “japa” with their certificates and start deriding the country as “useless”. Doesn’t that mean their certificates and work experience are equally useless? What about the people who made their money here before migrating but then go on social media to run down the country mercilessly? Some are still sending SOS messages home to help them stabilise but they will never stop denigrating this same country.

I have been ruminating over this negativism. In trying to understand why some Nigerians are like this, I first asked myself this question: did I ever feel this way about Nigeria at any point in my life? My mind went back to the 1990s and 2000s and I realised I used to be negative — even if not totally — about Nigeria. This is bizarre because I consider myself to be an optimist. I always try to see the sunny side of life. If you tell me “Nigeria is finished”, my instinctive response has always been: “Congratulations! Hope you are happy now?” To be honest, till this day, I still occasionally find myself negative and despondent. It is hard not to be. I am an optimist quite all right, but I am not stupid.

After much thinking about the things that spur the “Nigeria is finished” retort, I identified two broad categories of negativism. On the one hand, there is “benign negativism”: some people say and share negative things about Nigeria not out of a malicious heart or with a destructive intent. Rather, they are frustrated and angry at the state of the nation. When they say “Nigeria is finished”, it is not a wish or a curse but an expression of frustration. On the other hand, there is the “malign negativism” among those who have written Nigeria off and have concluded that nothing good can come out of the country. To many in this category, it is of no use expecting anything good from the “contraption”.

I took a deep dive into these two categories and identified at least five variants of negativism. The variants cut across the categories and could be in spectrums — so they are not mutually exclusive. The first of the five is “disappointed love”. Many have invested so much emotion in Nigeria and are disappointed with the outcome. They expect Nigeria to be far better than this. Actually, disappointed love is a term describing the heartache people have when their expectations are not met in a relationship. It could be that their feelings are not reciprocated, promises are broken, or there is a form of abuse going on. That sums up the feelings of many Nigerians who have benign negativism.

The second variant of negativism is what psychologists call “coping mechanism”. It is a psychological strategy humans adapt to deal with unpalatable circumstances. It could be conscious or unconscious. When some people say “Nigeria is finished”, they do not mean it in a malicious manner. Rather, that is their own way of managing the trauma of poor governance that they are being subjected to. When they share bad news about Nigeria, it is a way of “detoxifying”. It is also like a resolve — “I am not surprised things are like this”. They have tuned their minds to live with the disappointments. They are not against Nigeria’s progress but have also conditioned themselves to expect little or nothing.

The third variant of negativism is self-justification. They use all negative news about Nigeria to say: “I was right, wasn’t I?” The late Peter Wason, cognitive psychologist, called it “confirmation bias” — the tendency to favour information that confirms or strengthens your beliefs or values and is difficult to dislodge. This is common among Nigerian migrants. Even if they are not having the best of times abroad — perhaps they are being treated as second-class humans — they try to justify it by amplifying bad news about Nigeria to show that they were right to “japa”. Many would-be migrants and restructuring activists are also affected by confirmation bias and self-justification variant.

The fourth variant manifests in those who have completely, irreversibly and irrevocably given up on Nigeria. They are comprehensively disenchanted with the country and there is no amount of good news or positive developments that can dissuade them. Some feel sidelined, neglected and irrelevant in the scheme of things. Others have their own ideas of how the country should be structured or governed and until their position is accepted and implemented, they are not interested in any good thing coming out of Nigeria. Every positive development irritates them. Every negative development is evidence that the country is doomed and nothing good can come out of it.

There is a fifth variant which is borne out of partisanship. The things some people are defending today are the things they attacked when they were not in power. The things some are attacking today are the things they defended when they were in power. When the NBS rebased the GDP under the PDP in 2014 and we became Africa’s biggest economy, the APC ridiculed it. In 2024, the NBS released favourable employment data under the APC and the PDP mocked it. Need I remind us of the deregulation of petrol pricing by the PDP in 2012 which was opposed by the same APC elements now celebrating their own deregulation as a great success? I think partisan hypocrites fit each other.

This is not an invitation to be blind to Nigeria’s shortcomings and challenges. We cannot deceive ourselves by saying everything is all right. Plenty things are not all right. We can all see things with our eyes. In fact, every society needs critical — sometimes cynical and sceptical — voices. The danger is when we become perennially and incurably critical to the extent that it is beginning to impair our judgment. It can become a terminal ailment. Still, those in power should not treat every negativity as malign. To be clear, Nigerians have every right to be worried about their country and to highlight every negative development. It is now the job of those in authority to lead us out of the woods.

Nevertheless, we can still be kind to Nigeria by differentiating the country from its leadership. They are not the same: presidents come and go but Nigeria remains. We can love Nigeria our country with all our heart and hate bad leadership with passion. We can celebrate our little strides and still criticise corrupt and inept leadership. It is sad that if you want to hear the worst things about Nigeria, you need not ask a foreigner. Ask a Nigerian. With our own mouths, we damage and demarket our country before outsiders and then complain that we are being maltreated abroad. We should not be so negative that we cannot see anything good in Nigeria. If Nigeria is finished, what is our gain?

Referendum is very important to create Biafra because without it, you Nigerians will find another excuse to fight war for your useless 'one Nigeria'

If you want to know, Nigerians are tired of you guys, do you think anyone will fight to have you to remain. Just declare your biafra and see how relieved and celebrated others will be... You guys don't need any referendum, maybe after you have left, then you can do referendum if you want..

Baronthecelebri:
Stupid SIMP, divorce that bastard

Only way...

When the ones, that are thoughts to be more intelligent are morally bankrupt and lack humanity...

Daly is absolutely right.

History is replete with the heinous crimes of the Zionist state even against America herself.

Most are denied and brushed under the carpet but they are nevertheless true. A few examples will suffice.

Who killed American President John F. Kennedy?

Few are aware that there was a raging and longstanding dispute between the then Prime Minister of Israel Ben Gurion and Kennedy about allowing Israel to acquire nuclear weapons, a proposition which was sorely opposed by the latter and which may have resulted in a direct threat to his life.

This has been the prevailing thinking in intelligence and security circles for decades but due to the classification of most of the relevant documents much about the circumstances and motives for his assasination has been hidden from public scrutiny.

Nevertheless whispers of truth are finally coming out.

In an article titled ‘Did Zionists Kill U.S. President John F. Kennedy?’ published in ‘A News Gallery World’ on 22nd Nov. 2023 the American author wrote the following:

“The enduring enigma of Kennedy’s assassination continues to baffle. The former U.S. President lost his life 60 years ago in a fatal attack. Speculation has been raised about Israel’s potential involvement as Kennedy was vocal in opposing their nuclear weapon pursuits.

“There were also claims made linking the two events as Kennedy vehemently opposed Israel’s nuclear programme. In fact, he expressed his concerns in a confidential letter stating ‘Your nuclear weapons will greatly damage our relationship’.

“These fears were further fuelled by a former Israeli General who worried that Kennedy would order an airstrike on their nuclear site. The reason for suspecting Israel was Kennedy’s strong opposition to Israel possessing nuclear weapons.

Despite the fact that it has been 60 years since the assassination many theories have been put forward about it including the claim that Israel was responsible for the killing.

“In the incident, Israel, along with the Soviet Union and Cuba, were among the suspects. After Ben Gurion resigned in Israel, Kennedy wrote a detailed letter to his successor Levi Eshkol on the subject.

“In a letter whose confidentiality decision was lifted by the U.S. National Archives a few years ago, it was clearly stated that any wrong move by Israel would strain bilateral relations. Five months after writing this letter, Kennedy was assassinated.

“Documents revealed the confession of former Israeli Air Force Commander Dan Tolkowsky about that tense period. The unsolved mystery surrounding former U.S. President Kennedy’s assassination, which occurred 60 years ago, continues to intrigue many.”


A French author by the name of Germain Gorais went into even more detail as regards the motives and put the matter rather more concisely and succinctly in an article published in La Observateur Continental in November 2023 by saying, “In order to eliminate resistance to Israel’s nuclear armament and to reduce pressure on Israel for the “right of return” for 800,000 Palestinians, US president JF Kennedy was assassinated.

“Since the 1950s, Israel had undertaken the secret manufacture of atomic bombs. In 1986 reliable evidence emerged demonstrating that Israel had secretly obtained the atomic bomb as early as 1967.

“Since then, all successively elected US Presidents have been held hostage by Israel. Kennedy was also committed to the right of return for 800,000 Palestinians expelled from their homes and villages in 1948 for which the American delegation to the UN presented a proposal on November 20, 1963.

“He was assassinated 2 days later.”

Another excellent piece on the alleged involvement of Israel in the murder of JFK is titled “From Dallas to Gaza: How JFK’s Assassination Was Good for Zionist Israel” by an American by the name of Rick Sterling and published on Dec 15, 2023.

I recommend this insightful contribution for reading for those that are interested.

If all this does not raise eyebrows or provide food for thought about the true nature of the State of Israel perhaps the following will.

Who brought down the Trade Towers in New York City on 9/11?

Few are aware of the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a book titled ‘Fighting Terrorism: How Democracies Can Defeat Domestic and International Terrorism’ which he made reference to in an interview a few years later. In that interview he said, “The West really doesn’t understand militant Islam so I wrote a book in 1995 and I said that if the West doesn’t wake up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam the next thing you’ll see is that militant Islam is bringing down the World Trade Centre”.

Six years after writing his book the two towers of the World Trade Center were actually brought down by supposedly militant Islamic terrorists and a few years later the same Benjamin Netanyahu said,

“We (meaning Israel) are benefiting from one thing and that is the attack on the Trade Towers, on the Pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq”.

Does anyone need to look any further to know who was really behind 9/11 and who benefitted from it the most?

Again who attacked the USS Liberty, a United States Navy Signals Intelligence ship on June 8th 1967 in the middle of the Six Day war killing 34 people and injuring and wounding another 170 if not the Israeli Defence Force yet the whole matter was covered up out of fear of the rage that this would stir against Israel amongst the American people?

Again who bombed the King David Hotel in Palestine on 22 July 1946 if not ‘Irgun’ the Zionist terrorist organisation that was led by Menachim Begin who later became the Jewish states’ Prime Minister and in which 91 British citizens and soldiers were killed?Again who murdered Count Folke Bernadotte, the Swedish diplomat and United Nations mediator on September 17th 1948 when, whilst on his way to Jerusalem to negotiate a peace deal which would have ensured Palestinian rights, had his plane shot down from mid-air if not the same Zionist terrorist organisation Irgun?

Sadly with him crashed all attempts by the United Nations to help the Palestinians and Israelis arrive at a diplomatic solution.

Again who orchestrated the mass murder of 3,500 Arab Muslim women and children by Israeli-funded and Israeli-armed Lebanese Christian militias during the Lebanese civil war in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila from the 15th to the 18th of September in 1982 after all the men had been lured from withdrawing from the camps and volunteered to go on exile to Tunisia with a guaranty of safety and security from America and Israel for their women and children if not the Jewish state?

Again who created, backed and funded Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, Daesh, ISIS, Al Shabab and Boko Haram? Was it not the CIA in conjunction with MOSSAD that did this and is that not why Israel and Israeli assets have NEVER been targetted or attacked by any of these listed terrorist organisations?

Are these listed terror groups not all tools of destabilisation that are being used by MOSSAD and the CIA to destabilise and destroy the territory and Governments of their perceived enemies like Syria, Iraq and Libya and sometimes even that of their stubborn “friends” in North, West and East Africa?

Again who, if not the Jewish Rothschild family, commissioned an infamous crook and fraudster called Cyrus I. Schofield to doctor the words, meaning and intent of portions of the Holy Bible in 1909 to re-write God’s word and make it appear that the planned re-establishment of the Jewish/Zionist state which was to eventually come in 1948 would be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and the intention of God, knowing fully well that this was false and that the Holy Bible clearly states that the new Israel will not be re-established until after the second coming of the Messiah.

This shameless and devastating act of disinformation and misinformation, in my view, has done more damage to Christianity and the Christian pysche and thinking than any other since the crucifiction of our Lord simply because it constrains and compels Christians to erroneously believe that they have a divine obligation and holy duty to support and love the newly established State of Israel no matter what it does and no matter what horrendous atrocities it commits.

Consider the following.

In October 2015

Maidhc O. Cathail published his article titled ‘The Scofield Bible—The Book That Made Zionists of America’s Evangelical Christians’.

He wrote, inter alia,

“Since it was first published in 1909, the Scofield Reference Bible has made uncompromising Zionists out of tens of millions of Americans. When John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), said that “50 million evangelical bible-believing Christians unite with five million American Jews standing together on behalf of Israel,” it was the Scofield Bible that he was talking about. Although the Scofield Reference Bible contains the text of the King James Authorized Version, it is not the traditional Protestant bible but Scofield’s annotated commentary that is problematic. More than any other factor it is Scofield’s notes that have induced generations of American evangelicals to believe that God demands their uncritical support for the modern State of Israel. Central to Christian Zionist belief is Scofield’s commentary on Genesis 12:3: ‘I will bless them that bless thee.’ In fulfillment closely related to the next clause, ‘And curse him that curseth thee’. It has invariably fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew and well with those who have protected him.

Drawing on Scofield’s rather tendentious interpretation, Hagee claims, “The man or nation that lifts a voice or hand against Israel invites the wrath of God.” But as Stephen Sizer points out in his definitive critique, “The promise, when referring to Abraham’s descendants, speaks of God blessing them, not of entire nations ‘blessing’ the Hebrew nation, still less the contemporary and secular State of Israel.” Notwithstanding this more orthodox reading, The New Scofield Study Bible, published by Oxford University Press in 1984, intensified Scofield’s interpretation by adding, “For a nation to commit the sin of anti-Semitism brings inevitable judgement.” Sustained by dubious exegesis of selective biblical texts,” Sizer concludes, “Christian Zionism’s particular reading of history and contemporary events…sets Israel and the Jewish people apart from other peoples in the Middle East…it justifies the endemic racism intrinsic to Zionism, exacerbates tensions between Jews and Palestinians and undermines attempts to find a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, all because ‘the Bible tells them so’. In his 2008 book, The Rise of Israel: A History of a Revolutionary State, Jonathan R. Adelman describes the crucial support Israel receives from Christian fundamentalists as “totally fortuitous.” That assertion is belied, however, by the incredible career of the man who wrote “the Bible of Fundamentalism.” Two years after Scofield’s reported conversion to Christianity in 1879 the Atchison Patriot Newspaper was less than impressed. Describing the former Atchison resident as the “late lawyer, politician and shyster,” the article went on to recount a few of Scofield’s “many malicious acts.” These included a series of forgeries in St. Louis, for which he was sentenced to six months in jail.

Had the Scofield Bible never been published, American Presidents influenced by Christian Zionism such as Truman, Johnson, Reagan and George W. Bush might have been less sympathetic to Israeli demands and consequently more attentive to U.S. interests. Moreover, the American people could have been spared the pseudo-Christian rants of John Hagee, Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell, not to mention the lucrative End Times Rapture “prophecy” peddled by Hal Lindsey and Tim LaHaye..But it is the people of the Middle East who have been most affected by an expansionist Israel emboldened by the unswerving allegiance of Christian Zionists led to believe that Scofield’s words are God’s will. Not least among the many victims of the Scofield Bible are 5 million Palestinian refugees whose right to return is fervently opposed by America’s Zionized Christians. Thanks to their indoctrination by Scofield’s unholy book, they believe that Palestine belongs not to the Palestinians—many of whom are fellow Christians—but exclusively to ‘God’s chosen people’.”

Cathail has hit the nail on the head and I recommend a reading of the full text of his detailed and insightful essay.

Schofield and the Jews who commissioned him have done a great disservice and dealt a grievous blow to Christian Theology. I have little doubt that God will punish them for it.

Andrew Slater, in his book titled ‘Christian Zionism’ supported Cathail’s position when he wrote the following,

“Theodore Herzl and the Rothschilds first approached the current Pope at the time Pope Pius X who immediately rejected facilitating the Zionist takeover of Palestine.

The Rothschilds who were after seizing the land of Palestine, knew that they had to get the Protestant churches on board with their agenda. So they recruited a non-Jew Christian ‘theologian’ called C. I. Scofield to convince the Protestant Churches that the Jews must retake the promised land to fulfill prophecy. The target was to infiltrate Protestant Christianity by creating their own ‘Bible'”.

Again I recommend this fascinating book for those who are interested in this topic. It is an eye-opener.

Kudos to men like Cathail and Slater who have exposed the great lie and damnable falsehood that Christians are compelled to support Israel no matter what and that if they do not they will face the judgement of God.

The intellectual dishonesty of the Zionists and the lengths they are prepared to go to pervert and distort anything in order to achieve their purpose never ceases to amaze me.

When one couples this with the ‘Nakba’ in 1948 in which 800,000 Palestinians were murdered, displaced and thrown out of their homes, the millions of Palestinians that have been killed, tortured, maimed and illegally detained, including women and children, over the last 76 years by Israeli security forces and fascist settlers and the ethnic cleansing and mass murder that is going on in Gaza today it beggars belief and makes the stomach turn.

Atrocity after atrocity, horror after horror, lie after lie, injustice after injustice, wickedness after wickedness, impunity after impunity, breach of the law after breach of the law yet Israel and the Zionists remain above the law, untouchable and unaccountable to God or man for their consistently horrendous actions and callous acts.

Permit me to close this contribution with the words of Aiden Hunter

@AidenHunterX an American commentator.

Two weeks ago he wrote the following on X.

“Rev. Martin Luther (the father of the Protestant movement) once said that the things jews do in secret are far worse than the things we’ve caught them doing. If we had hidden cameras in jewish homes and synagogues, and if we played that footage to the world, I suspect that even the most battle hardened men would find it difficult to watch. In 2016, there were rumors that when the New York Police Department viewed the content of Anthony Weiner’s laptop, it caused seasoned law enforcement officers to vomit and lose sleep. Jews are the only race that has been accused for centuries, independently by people on different continents, of grotesque ritual murder and other horrific deeds that I can’t describe here. The fact that jews always accuse Gentiles of what they themselves do should, therefore, give us serious pause because jews may be signaling exactly they’re doing in the privacy of their homes and synagogues. Only jews could easily and quickly imagine such things, for instance, as 40 babies beheaded, babies cooked in ovens, and pregnant women slashed with their infants ripped out, because jews themselves have been doing exactly those things to Palestinians. There is no doubt in my mind. The number of missing Palestinian children will probably never be known. Nor may we ever know what jews do to them when nobody is around to document it. I promise you this: Martin Luther was right. The things that jews are doing in secret and getting away with are indeed much, much worse than the things we’ve caught them doing.

From engineered famines to assassinations, I’m convinced we’ve only scratched the surface of the monstrous evil that jews have committed all around the world.

As I write this, I can imagine the screams of Gentile children pleading with us to save them. I pray that someday we have the spiritual strength to ditch our comforts and rouse ourselves to action”.

He went further by writing,

“There are Jews, and there are Jewists. By Jewist, I mean a genetically non-Jewish person whose mind has been colonized by destructive Jewish values and narratives. Most of us have been Jewists to varying degrees, since Jews run our media and entertainment. We grew up consuming the Jew’s poisons and false morality. They told us that degeneracy and decay were good.

They wanted us to fear the label “anti-semite” more than anything else. They wanted us never to notice that they are a distinct race, much less evaluate their behavior. They wanted us to view them as the world’s greatest and most innocent victims. They wanted us to always be fair-minded toward them. Meanwhile they polluted our souls. They exploited our sense of honor to gain unfair advantages over us.

They stripped away our very identity and replaced it with artificial identities that would never pose a threat to them. One could write book length treatments on all of the ways Jews have subverted us- linguistically, racially, psychologically, spiritually. The Jew is the premiere mind colonizer. He has created millions of Jewists in his own image. He put us in a trance with his glowing screens and inserted himself into our minds. Now he must be dislodged. In my youthful anarchist days we used to have a slogan: “kill the cop in your head.” This was a way to remind ourselves to overcome our timidity, brainwashing and domestication. Of course, it was not “cops” controlling our media and reshaping our culture. We never looked at the root cause back then. Today I understand that for all of us Gentiles, no matter what our position is, it is the Jew that must be eliminated from our minds. This is half the battle. Reject the mind- colonizer. Unlearn his programming.

Regain your fighting spirit. Activate your ancestral instincts. Kill the …. in your head”.

Need I say more?

Zionist atrocities

This awesome power that they had and wielded with impunity incurred the wrath of many in the west including the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler who blamed them for the humiliation and defeat of his country in World War 1 and who, in a classic case of total and complete insanity, sought to wipe them off the face of the earth in what he described in his book ‘Mein Kampf’ as the “Final Solution” and what the world dscribed as “the holocaust”.

He proceeded to gas to death no fewer than six million of them together with millions of Slavs, homosexuals and gypsies in horrendous concentration camps: a barbaric, condemnable and heinous act and a graphic example of man’s inhumanity to man.

Thankfully Hitler and Nazi Germany lost World War 11, and partly to compensate the Jews for the suffering and persecution that they had suffered in the West generally and the genocide that they endured at the hands of Hitler in Germany specifically, they were offered a new homeland in a place known as Palestine, which was at the very heart of the Middle East from which they had been exiled and scattered from 2000 years earlier but where millions of Palestinians had always lived and had never left.


This was a recipe for disaster, given the fact that the Jews and their concept and philosophy of Zionism regarded themselves as being “the master race” and refused to share the land with anyone else, describing themselves as “God’s chosen people” who had a divine mandate to forcefully and violently retake what they called “the Promise Land”, ethnically cleanse it of all other races and practitioners of other religious faiths and re-establish the old Jewish Kingdom of the Holy Bible stretching from the borders of Egypt right up to Iran!

To the Zionists everything that existed in that vast space of land and everyone in it belonged to them as treasure, chattel, vassals and slaves.

Consequently, with the tacit support of the West and in an attempt to establish this vision and objective, over the last 76 years they have fought, oppressed, undermined, caged, enslaved, dehumanised and subdued the Palestinian people and their Arab neighbours, killed millions of Palestinians and subjected them to genocide, and for the last one year alone murdered over 100,000 innocent and defenceless Christian and Muslim Palestinian civilians (mainly women and children) by bombing them with more ordinance and more precision bombs that were dropped in the entire duration of World War 11, slaughtering them with the most sophisticated and deadly weapons and burying them under the rubble of Gaza, subjecting them to what can best be described as a second holocaust.



Such is the mindset of the Zionists that an anti-Zionist secular Israeli activist who lives in Tel Aviv, Gaia Dan, said the following:

“There are only a few hundred anti-Zionist Israelis—about .01% of the adult population—and the vast majority of our society is genocidal.”

Worst still 80% of the population in Israel are opposed to a two-state solution and instead believe in totally subjugating and enslaving whatever number of the Palestinian people that are not eliminated and exterminated and occupying their land.

Simply put, they want all Palestinians who they regard as nothing but “human animals” to be nuked, to be scattered all over the world, to be driven into the sea or the Sinai desert and to simply “disappear”. A countless number of their senior government officials and political leaders, including Minister of Finance Bezalel Smoritch, former Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of Heritage Amihayi Eliyahu and many others have expressed these sentiments publicly.

Today, their leader Benjamin Netanyahu has been rightly indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court at the Hague (ICC), and instead of showing any remorse or regret he, his nation, his Zionist supporters and his American backers have threatened the court with sanctions if he is arrested in any of the 124 countries that are signatories to the relevant Treaty and have branded as being “anti-semitic” anyone or group of persons that have expressed concern or outrage about his homicidal, lawless and lunatic behaviour.

Permit me to share an example of this idiocy.


In his response to the arrest warrant issued on Netanyahu during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in November 2024, American Senator Lindsay Graham, an unhinged figure who constantly expresses his insatiable lust for war and carnage, said the following:

“You are going to have to pick either the rogue ICC or America. I am working with Senator Tom Cotton to have legislation passed as soon as we can to sanction any country that aids and abets the arrest of any politician in Israel. What they are doing in Israel is trying to prevent a second Holocaust. So, to any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we are going to sanction you”.

When Hannity asked what the sanction and penalty would be, Graham replied, “We will crush your economy because we are next. If they can go after Netanyahu why can’t they go after Trump or any other American President under this theory?”


His words confirm the fact that this dangerous, deluded, divisive, toxic and psychotic individual who actually believes that he is still living in the old American “wild west” where lawless and gun-totting cowboys were shooting native Indians for sport and where a drunken all powerful sheriff whose word was law ruled every town with an iron fist and gunned down people at will, is afflicted with what the English common law describes as “a diseased mind”.

More importantly the answer to his question can easily be answered with another, namely: why shouldn’t the ICC go after Trump or any other American President if they commit war crimes and crimes against humanity?

Are Americans and Israelis above the law or have they, like Ian Flemings’ famous fictitious character James Bond (007), been given a licence to kill? If this is the case, who on earth gave it to them?


In reference to the war in Ukraine, Graham was also once quoted as saying “it is a good thing to kill Russians!” Is this not madness in its most graphic form?

Senator Lindsay Graham represents everything reprehensible about the American right-wing and I sincerely pray that he and those that think like him in the American Senate do not plunge the world into World War 3 or a nuclear Armageddon.

My question is this: how far do the Zionists have to go and how many more innocent people do they have to kill before we accept the fact that that they are the problem of the world and that their so-called Jewish state must be brought to heel and made accountable for its unspeakable actions?


To the Christian that says we must love them no matter what heinous crime they commit, I say the following: the greatest of all commandments is to love our God with all our soul and all our might whilst the second greatest is to love our fellow men and treat them in the way we wish to be treated ourselves.

To applaud genocide and to support the ethnic cleansing of an entire race that are God’s creation, no matter what they may or may not have done, runs contrary to both of these sacred commandments and cannot be justified by some far fetched notion that the Jew is not subject to the laws of God and man.

We want a better world: a world where the Christian, the Jew, the Muslim, the Hindu and indeed all men and women of faith are regarded as one and bound together in peace and love by their common humanity and manifest destiny.


Yet it appears that the United States of America, once described by President Ronald Reagan as “a shining city on a hill” and the “hope of humanity”, is determined to deny us such a world.

Mr. Chris Hedges, the highly celebrated and deeply courageous American journalist, summed up his nation’s malevolent disposition when he said the following words on 18th June 2024:

“We do not halt Israel’s genocide because we, as Americans, ARE Israel. We are infected with the same white supremacy doctrine and we are intoxicated by our domination of the globe’s wealth and the power to obliterate others with our advanced weaponry.


“The vaunted democratic values, morality and respect for human rights claimed by Israel and the United States have always been a lie. The real credo is this: We have everything and if you try and take it away from us, we will kill you people of color, especially when they are poor and vulnerable.

“Do not count their hopes, dignity and aspirations for freedom. The lives of those outside the empire are worthless. Global domination will be sustained through racialized violence.

“The lie that the American empire is predicated on democracy and liberty is what the Palestinians, those in the global south, Native Americans and Black and Brown Americans, not to mention those who live in the Middle East, have known for decades.


“But it is a lie that still has currency in the United States and Israel: a lie used to justify the unjustifiable.”

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, an American economist and public policy analyst and a Professor of Columbia University went further by recently saying, “The most violent country in the world in the 19th Century was also the most democratic or second most democratic country in the world, and that was Great Britain. You can be democratic at home and ruthlessly imperial abroad. The most violent country in the world since 1950 has been the United States”.

I concur.


The celebrated British journalist Owen Jones added his voice to the outrage that has trailed the American-sponsored Israeli slaughter in Gaza by saying the following on the 26th of November, “1,410 ENTIRE Palestinian families exterminated by Israel. From babies and teenagers to parents to great grandparents. If one extended family was wiped out in Britain it would be headline news for weeks. It has happened 1,410 times in Gaza with a much smaller population.”

All this yet American leaders cheer the Zionists on and continue to provide them with massive funding and lethal weapons as if they were doing nothing but killing mosquitos or slaughtering turkeys at Christmas.

It follows that the home truth about America is, to say the least, ugly and disconcerting and few venture to dare voice it.


Joe Biden’s America particularly has become a gangerous stinking sore and a formidable challenge to the peace and stability of the world and the only hope the so-called “land of the free” and “home of the brave” has left is if incoming President Donald Trump succeeds and if he truly intends to do so he must rid himself of the inexplicable obsession and fatal attraction that most American leaders have with and for the citadel of evil and enclave of genocide called Israel.

If he refuses to do so, and frankly the signs are not good, given his cabinet choices of pro-Israeli hawks and warmongers, he too, like Joe Biden and the cackling, strange and empty-headed woman that he named his Vice President, Kamala Harris, will crash to an ignoble end.

This would be very sad because I am one of those that has always had a soft spot and the greatest admiration and respect for Donald Trump.


The reason why millions in Africa, the ‘global south’ and indeed all over the world look to China, Russia and the newly formed BRICS economic bloc of nations for leadership and inspiration today is because America has lost its decency and has jettisoned its noble values.

Nothing confirms this more than the unending and unlimited support and blind love that they have consistently displayed for their monster child called Israel.

America is today a nation of genocide-enablers with insensitive and morally bankrupt leaders who have lost all sense of humanity and who have turned their European allies like the United Kingdom, Germany, France and indeed all the other members of the NATO alliance into pitiful puppets and fawning vassals whilst they treat the rest of the world as nothing but worthless serfs and slaves.

Only the Chinese and Russians present hope for a greater and better future for humanity and that is why so many in the global south gravitate towards them.

Permit me share the words of one of the worlds most consistent and powerful voices against oppression and injustice, Clare Daly, the former Irish MP and MEP and a lady who is known for speaking truth to power.

A few days ago she said the following on the arrest warrant that has been issued by the ICC on Netanyahu and Gallant.

She said, “About time. It is only the start. The idea that there are only two people criminally responsible is definitely not the case at this point. It needs to go all the way to the top of the U.S. administration and to the European Union elites who have enabled and ensured that this genocide has continued.

“It couldn’t have happened without them. It wouldn’t have even started without them, to be honest. And unless it goes there, well, then, you know, the ICC has a huge credibility problem. Like, this is it—Israel is finished after this. They have nowhere else to go.

“And it may not seem like that because you know the EU and the US have their backs at the moment but I firmly believe that this is this generation’s Vietnam. Things will never be the same after this.


“A whole layer of young people and people who are older who never paid attention to this issue are not gonna let it go until there is justice for Palestine and this issue is dealt with.

“It’s absolutely tragic that it’s happening at such a terrible cost and still continues. But it is the harbinger of a big change as well”.

A history of Zionist atrocities
•Fani-Kayode

I am not anti-semitic and I have many Jewish friends who I hold in high esteem.

I recognise the fact that there are millions of Jews all over the world, particularly in Europe, Russia, Iran, Ethiopia and even in the United States of America itself, who have publicly renounced the excesses and atrocities of the Zionists and who seek nothing but peace, fellowship, love, fraternity and mutual respect with their non-Jewish neighbours.

Having said this, I must also put on record my utter disgust and disdain for the Zionists and for Zionism itself which is a political construct and philosophy that I consider to be akin to apartheid and therefore evil.

It is a philosophy that is espoused by those that can best be described as intellectual barbarians and cultural hegemons.

To add to this I feel nothing but repugnance, contempt and revulsion for the racism and fanaticism of the Ashkenazi Jews, the progenitors and primary promoters of Zionism, who the Allied powers of World War 11, at the behest and with the money of the stupendously wealthy Rothschild family, established Israel for and handed her over to in 1948.

The Ashkenazi were and still are essentially proxies and agents of the Rothschilds and the Western powers, the enforcers of their purpose and collective will in the Middle East and the protectors of their numerous interests in that region.


From inception they constituted themselves into the rich, elite and all-powerful ruling political class of the Jewish State despite the fact that they were nothing but a bunch of non-semitic white primarily Eastern European colonial settlers and immigrants, who were not even originally Jewish but only converted to Judaism in the 18th Century and who saw and still see every other true Jew, including the Sephardic Jews and the real Semites (including the Palestinians), as being inferior to them and unfit to lead their nation.

In a clumsy attempt to cover their non-semitic origins and obscure the fact that they have no genetic link with the people of the Middle East from the outset, they banned all DNA testing in Israel, and that remains the case till today.

This is because the Askenazi cannot legitimately trace their ancestry back to Israel for more than two generations! That is how crafty they are!


To get a clear picture of precisely what the world is up against this contribution will focus on not just the atrocities of the Zionists and the Zionist state of Israel but will also offer a small glimpse into the dark and frightful history of Jewry generally.

It is not designed or intended to offend or to be an attack on the Jews but rather a historical analysis of some of the unspeakable crimes and injustices they have committed and indulged in over the years that have shaken the foundations of humanity and brought pain and sorrow to millions all over the world.

Let us begin with the most significant event of all, which took place 2000 years ago in Jerusalem when the Jews murdered the Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by insisting on his crucifiction.


He was hanged on a cross and crucified like a common criminal, inflicting more pain on Him than the human mind can possibly comprehend.

As He bled and suffered, offering no complaint or resistance and instead asking God the Father to “forgive them for their sins”, they continued to scream in a rabid frenzy with hate and rage shouting, “Let His blood be upon us and our children.”

Till today, 2000 years later, they have not expressed any remorse or regret for this cruel and barbaric act against a selfless, sinless, kind, loving, compassionate and innocent soul who we Believers regard as none other than the Lamb of God, the Ancient of Days, the Lord of Hosts, the King of Kings, the long-awaited Messiah and He who came down as God incarnate in the flesh. But instead, they relish and celebrate it with fervour, even going as far as to describe him in their “holy book” called the Talmud as “a fake, a charlatan and a fraud” who according to their twisted and irreverent minds is “now burning in hell where he is eating human faeces”.


Over the last 1000 years they spread to virtually every nation, taking over the world’s banking system and controlling the worlds supply of money with which they promoted and funded revolutions, counter revolutions and wars, built up and destroyed economies, brought governments and nations to their knees and determined the political future and fate of leaders in the most powerful countries in the world.

Such was the power of the Jews that from 1917, in the persons of two of their most famous sons, Vladimer Lenin and Leon Trotsky, they banned religion and presided over the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Christian clerics and millions of Christians in the Soviet Union after the Bolshevik revolution.

Yet it didn’t stop there, and their influence continued to permeate the entire world and kept growing.

Didn't tinubu protest against Jonathan in 2012 ? Did anybody tribalise or blackmail tinubu and his Yoruba tribe ? No!

But look at the nonsense you are doing now tinubu is in power. Anybody that protest or criticize tinubu incompetency is now seen as igbo, obedient and enemy of the land that must be stopped at means.

You guys has blamed everybody but not tinubu who has made life miserable for Nigeria masses.

You guys blame Peter obi and igbo people for the protest and falsely accuse them of trying to destroy Lagos, igbo people pull out and say, they won't protest anymore.

Northerners take the lead and start and they are doing the protest in their region yet you guys are still accusing and blackmailing them of trying to remove tinubu from power.

The same Northerners thay give tinubu majority of the votes that make him win the election!

What is actually wrong with you people. Nobody can protest anymore in Nigeria without Apc Yoruba tribalising and blackmailing Nigerians that are exercising their constitutional rights.

Instead of guys to tell tinubu to sit up, you choose the game of blames, tribalism and blackmailing to subject and silence Nigerians not to speak against tinubu failure.

History is recording all these, because it will come back and hunt you guys. Tinubu will not be president forever.

In commencement, this must begin with a cliche, for what is unfolding is not novel . In the end , even in all its mutations and profusions , there is a stupefying banality to evil.
Admittedly, in the reckoning of the majorly aggrieved, this is long overdue.
Indeed, they say, it’s had innumerable incarnations but despite all the missed opportunities afforded the other half( the minuscule governing and lording it over the great unwashed, the impoverished citizens and silent majoritarians ), to govern in the interest of the greater number, the upheavals and convulsions imminent, have only proved but one immutable thing( fact);that Nigeria is peopled by red- blooded human beings and that Nigeria would not be the first ahistorical nation; that Nigeria would be governed by and be subject to the inexorable laws of nature/ history. Nigeria will not dance to a tune yet not composed, she shall March according to the laws that govern the affairs of men and nations, and heaven shall not fall.

In my estimation, There is an ordinariness to all this, but what is not ordinary is the emergence of the “begging collective “; the poor have turned our lords of the manor to mere mortals; the rich are crying ( crocodile tears) and disturbing us with the cacophony of their begging.

When the” privilegentsia “consume, more than its sweat entitles it to, the poor and deprived will have to “make do” with only what’s left, and this will be the rich and fat cats , remaining , as available repast to assuage the hunger in their stomachs , which hunger is fostered by the bad governance of the privilegentsia

Suddenly The grumblings of the stomachs of the poor , for long disregarded , have now attained and achieved critical syncopation and the guilty are afraid.

Everyone is now begging everyone of them not to protest; Maigida and Babangida are now joined in a common enterprise; begging maiguard and asawo ati awon boys, not to protest.

In my view, whether the protest now takes place or not, its main purpose is already achieved; everyone is now begging the poor not to rock the boat.
We never imagined that the day will dawn, when the Janus faced, fork tongued , grabbing , rapine and rapacious “kakistocrats and kleptocrats “ strutting the streets of opulence will on bended knees, initiate and now join the national pastime of begging the poor, but what is this begging for and about; that there’d be a cessation of bad governance or just seeking reprieve from the portents imminent ??.
The faceless, pauperised poor have now turned the rich to mendicants and beggars; but “oro Ebe o sele”; Fela said so; for when “area cast and jungle matures”, there’d be no place for begging.

Kongi hectored and pretended to lecture, from a wobbly and termites infested lectern, in forced response to the importunings of the supplicant and bewildered poor, to whom he had been a guide and lightning rod in similar times in the past that we should grab and enter his throat “to extract his sought , fitting description of the tableau of want that has gripped our land; a general horror , like manifest in these times that , he would have assayed , as he had severally in times past, were his “molebi”not the occupant of the throne. But even he could not escape the pull of “molebi “ and I cringe before “Odole “, that Adimu can falter in winter and render an “undarnable “rent in his cassava sticks .

Yes o, begging rents the air; everyone is “bebeing “, the traditional class is Drinking pasisei; the thieving and hollow soul politician in and out of power is in mockery , begging.
In bewilderment I look , and marvel at being ringside witness to the verity of the title of the tome;” The Rich also Cry”.
I am a Nigerian and as Nigeria has not proved impervious to the March of history, let me also not prove impervious to the current trend and national preoccupation; me sef go join the beggars to beg the majorly aggrieved; abeg make una no protest; dem go change, Abi.
Ikoli.

NoahHadNoArk:


How has this senseless comment helped in any way apart from praising and encouraging the Thieves for their “smartness” while mocking the victim for allowing his kindness and humanity to cost him 22k. ?!


I cringe in disgust when I see foolish/stupid comments like that “Mugu go fall, guy man chop” on this platform. Has our society really gotten to this low were thieves and criminals are congratulated and exalted for outsmarting and robbing their fellow Nigerians?!?

The Op created this thread to seek help in recovering his funds while also alerting the public as to the new methods these thieves devise by going as a couple and using a crying baby as a means of escape, yet you deemed it the right time and moment to display your foolishness by coming in to call the fraudster “wise”. Probably your parents I’m sure😒
From the abundance of your heart, I’m guessing scam is what you also do and you think it’s wise abi?!

Empiree:
I chose not to ever have dialogue with Nigerians on this issue because majority of Africans have problem. It is a big waste of time talking to them about this.

They didn't learn anything after 400 years of slavery and they are supporting colonisation, genocide and ethnic cleansing of Arabs. They think all Palestinians are Muslims. Their ignorance is on high tramadol.

They know nothing about the crisis
They know nothing about Balfour Decoration
They know nothing about Oslo and Abraham Accord.

The only thing they know is, because it is Israel it must be supported because the Bible says this and that.

Taibe is a Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank. Israelis harass those people everyday in a systematical way and steal their farm produce. These Nigerians are the most ignorant people. Don't waste your precious arguing with them. They think this is holy Israel of the Bible.

Israelis are actually European and American settlers who stole the land of Palestine.

"They continued eating in silence, each mouthful heavy with unspoken thoughts. When it seemed everyone had finished, they turned their attention to me. 'You tried,' the father said, 'but your dad couldn't even hold a spoon when we visited my home.' Memories of school days resurfaced, and they pondered why certain customs persisted. 'I think it's more about cultural upbringing,' I offered, explaining how, from a young age, eating habits were segregated along gender lines, even among relatives.

The atmosphere eased as the father reminisced about old school days shared with my dad, emphasizing their closeness. Then, abruptly, he shifted gears. 'So, what brings you here today?' he inquired, fixing me with a scrutinizing gaze. 'I came to see Ladi,' I replied cautiously. His response was measured, hinting at the weight of tradition. 'So your dad was serious?' he probed further. I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. He continued, explaining the intricacies of their customs, emphasizing the importance of the daughter's consent before any further discussions could take place.

I wanted to interject, to declare Ladi's acceptance, but held back, sensing the gravity of the moment. With a final nod, the father rose from his seat, bidding me to convey his regards to my parents before departing.

As the tension dissipated, the mother took charge of the conversation, probing gently if i knew the man with us? When I admitted I didn't know him, she introduced him as Dimas, her eldest son, before turning her attention back to me. With a subtle shift, she announced my purpose: I was here to seek Ladi's hand in marriage, a declaration that hung in the air, awaiting acknowledgment."

We stayed a while not saying anything; I guess we were both in our own worlds, thinking about what's next. Mani came in and told Ladi that the food was ready, and that we should join them at the dinner table. I just realized how hungry I was, but my stomach was filled with anxiety.

Ladi stood up and said, "Let's go and eat." I followed them to the dining room. As soon as I entered the dinner room, I immediately noticed the father and another man whom I don't know, along with the rest of the family, all seated.

"Good afternoon, sir. How are you, my son?" he responded. We exchanged pleasantries, and he asked me to be seated. The only vacant seat happened to be between Ladi and Fabi, which I had no choice but to take. I found this a bit strange because in my culture, men and women don't eat together. Still wondering, I heard, "Let's pray," and they bowed their heads and closed their eyes as the father started praying, and I joined them.

After praying, the mother dished for the father and herself, then the other man dished his. I was wondering if there were protocols. I decided to wait and see what would happen when it came to my turn. Ladi stood up and started dishing for me, then for herself, and sat down. Fabi and Mani followed suit.

Eating in front of so many women and in-laws was a bit awkward for me. So, I sat there, looking at the food. I could feel all eyes on me. The father then said, "Eat, young man, don't be afraid." I tried to eat, even though I was really hungry. After about 5 or 6 spoons, I couldn't continue. I stopped trying.

I honestly think the Igbos have lots of traits as Jews, so their claims should be adequately looked into..

We erupted into laughter, with all eyes on Lami, who remained serene, her smile unwavering. Fabi motioned for Mani to excuse us, then, with a solemn tone, turned to Lami. "Do you grasp the gravity of your decision?" Lami nodded silently. Fabi pressed further, "Then why keep me in the dark? Why not discuss it with me beforehand?" For the first time, Lami responded, "I only just made up my mind."

Fabi turned to me, her expression conflicted. "I'm sorry, I'm just... bewildered." "About what?" I inquired. "About what just transpired," she admitted. "Honestly, I'm a bit bewildered too, but happy"

As Fabi delved into questions about interreligious marriage, I expressed my openness, emphasizing mutual respect. When she queried about our children's religious affiliation, I advocated for their autonomy in choosing their faith. Redirecting the conversation, I questioned Fabi about her own religious practice. She admitted it was inherited. "Imagine if circumstances had placed you elsewhere," I posed. She conceded, "Likely I'd follow your faith." I continued, highlighting the lack of choice in birth circumstances. "So why fuss over what's beyond our control?" She fell silent, acknowledging my perspective.

She confessed her concerns about potential complications due to rigidity within my community but conceded understanding after our discussion, excusing herself.

Turning to Ladi, I expressed gratitude and vowed never to cause her regret. As our eyes met, she looked away, revealing a newfound vulnerability in her demeanor i have never seen before.

If it’s so inherent, why are men of today fighting their destiny so hard? Many are even turning to women to escape at a frightening rate. Some are using it as joke, some are downright serious about it.


This is because men and women approach relationships differently, being in relationship as a woman is completely different from what you can ever tolerate as a man. Women tolerate it because of MONEY, even a lacking man will tolerate a woman’s excesses if she builds him the way men build lowly women.

I am not against polygamy at all, all I’m trying to tell you is that real men don’t feel too Hot for ladies until money enters their accounts. Even the rich easily get bored of themselves and cheat.

What does that tell you? It is money that is polygamous and not your dick.

I read your comments twice and honestly don't understand your questions?

Why are men of today fighting their destiny so hard Destiny? Hard?


Many are even turning to women at a frightening rate? For what?

Maysdevices:
Man is irresponsible by nature because of their forced provider status, not some polygamous DNA strain


No person that provides wants to stay with one person, man or woman

It isn't forced, it inherent in men, to provide and protect. So is their nature to sample..

Why do you see men start thinking of marrying more wife or increase sampling when money comes their way? But for women, that's when they start saying I don't need a man, am free and independent?

You ask an interesting question.

Hatred is usually caused by mothers, and to some extent, fathers. Polygamy? The truth is, man is polygamous by nature; it's society that's trying to change the narrative. That's why you see baby mamas all over. If a man is capable, why accept his mistresses/baby mamas outside but restrict him from marrying them? Why shame the mothers outside? It should be encouraged, honestly. The benefits outweigh the shortcomings. It gives children legitimacy, secures the women in case of death, and more, which I won't delve into further.

The capacity of the man when it comes to managing two or more women is where the majority of the problems come from. On the women's side, the major problem is their inherent sense to protect their own, and this leads to jealousy and competition.

We first need to accept our shortcomings, then work out a way that protects All..

"After their mother left, we were quiet for a while, like characters in a suspenseful sitcom, all pondering, 'What's the deal here?' I swear, it felt like we were in some bizarre reality show. I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly Fabi blurts out 'our In-law' with a grin. We all turn to look, and there's Lami, trying to play it cool but failing miserably.

Then Fabi coughs, breaking the tension, and I realize I've somehow won Lami over. But before I can revel in my triumph, Fabi's like, 'Is this real?' And I'm like, 'I'm as baffled as you are!' Then she turns to Lami, and we all stare expectantly, but Lami's playing shy for the first time ever.

Things get awkward real quick. We went from carefree to 'Is this a soap opera?' in seconds. Fabi keeps trying to dig deeper, but Lami just smiles like she's got some secret sauce. Fabi, bless her curiosity, turns to me and drops this bombshell: 'Did you know Lami came back from Kene's and basically said, 'Nah, not feeling it'? She even begged us to crash at yours so she wouldn't have to deal with your toast.'"

"The mother clapped her hands, expressionless, and said, 'Ladi, I hope you understand what accepting this ring means?' Ladi replied, 'I think so.' 'So, what do you think it means?' her mother asked. 'Mum, I do,' Ladi responded. 'I hope you do,' the mother deadpanned.

She then went and sat beside Ladi, placing her hands on her shoulder, and said, 'These things are not done like this, my dear. We have traditions here with procedures for such matters. I'm just meeting this young man for the first time. I know his father has always called me his in-law, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't follow our traditions. Normally, both families must have agreed before such matters are brought up. We've never discussed this issue as a family. How do you want your father to feel, knowing his position on marrying outside?' Ladi didn't respond.

The mother turned to me and looked at me for a while, saying nothing. My mind went blank. I tried to say something, but couldn't think of what to say. Then she said, 'My young man, what's your name?' I told her my name is Yah. 'I can't believe we're discussing such matters on our first meeting,' she said. 'Anyway, for your information, we have our traditions here when it comes to such matters. But since she has accepted the ring, that means she has accepted you. However, as a family, we haven't discussed this matter before. You just ambushed me,' she exclaimed, raising her hands in the air. I don't know if it was the way she said it or the hopeless look on her face that made all of us start laughing, somehow easing the tension in the room.

She continued, 'As I was saying earlier, we have our traditions, and such matters need to be discussed within the family before we can respond as a family. So, please tell your parents we have received your message, and we will respond as soon as possible.' Without waiting for my response, she stood up and said, 'Let me go finish cooking your lunch.'"

“She took the ring from my hand and looked at it for a while, then looked straight into my eyes for a moment and said, ‘So you are serious?’ I didn’t know what to say, so I just smiled and she smiled too.

Neither of us spoke for a while as she continued to examine the ring. Then she asked, ‘Where did you get the ring from?’ Before I could answer, she said, ‘It looks unique and old.’ I explained that my mother gave it to me, that it’s the ring my father gave her when they got married. She remained silent for a while, then stood up and said, ‘Let me arrange something for you to eat.’ Before I could respond, she got up and left.

I was left alone in the parlor, wondering if I had moved too quickly. Then I noticed the ring on the chair where she had been sitting. Various negative thoughts started to flood my mind. Does she not like me? Does she already have someone else? I began to regret allowing my parents to push me into this situation, feeling confused about what to do.

As I was about to pick up the ring, I heard footsteps approaching the door she had gone out of. Thinking it was her, I sat back down. I heard a female voice say, ‘Good afternoon,’ but I could tell it wasn’t her voice. I turned and saw two young girls, the youngest of whom greeted me. I responded and exchanged pleasantries with them. The eldest girl mentioned that her younger sister had told her that I was Alhaji Baba’s son. I nodded, unsure of where this was heading. She introduced herself as Fabi, Ladi’s elder sister, and pointed to the younger girl, introducing her as Mami.

They sat in the seats opposite me, where Ladi had been sitting, and asked how my parents were doing, smiling. I told them they were doing well. Fabi then said, ‘Do you know your dad is a very funny man?’ I smiled and asked why she thought so. She laughed and said that since she was young, whenever he would visit, he would always call her his wife and tell her dad that he would marry her. She would always refuse, but one day when he came around and she was with Ladi, who was about 5 years old at the time, he called her his wife again. This time, Ladi said she would marry him because he always gave them gifts. He told her he was too old to marry her, but he had a son who would marry her. I smiled and told her that my dad had always told me he had a beautiful wife waiting for me, especially when he returned from a journey. We all burst out laughing.

I felt at ease chatting with Ladi’s elder sister. After a while, Ladi joined us, but I noticed she wasn’t saying anything and seemed preoccupied with finding something on the seat. She asked her sisters to stand up, and her elder sister asked what she was looking for. Ladi said she thought she left something on the seat. As soon as her youngest sister stood up, her elder sister saw the ring and asked, ‘Where did you get that from? Please let me see it.’ Ladi handed the ring to her elder sister. Fabi looked at it and said, ‘Wow, it’s beautiful. Where did you get it from?’ Ladi remained silent, ignoring her sister. Fabi looked at me with an inquisitive smile and asked, ‘Is it from you?’ I smiled and nodded. The youngest sister, who had been quiet the entire time, excitedly said, ‘Please please let see it.
As soon as Fabi handed over the ring to her, she stood up, running and shouting, “Mummy, mummy!” Ladi called out to her to come back, but she was already gone. I wondered how all of this would play out, feeling a bit confused. Fabi looked at me and asked, “What is it for? Is it a gift or something else?” with a smile on her face. I didn’t know how to respond, so I told her that it was for Ladi and she knows what it is for. Fabi then turned to Ladi and asked her the same questions, but Ladi remained silent, smiling.

While Fabi was still questioning us about the ring, their mother walked in with Mami. I stood up, greeted her, and we exchanged pleasantries. She asked me where I got the ring from. I explained that my mother gave it to me to give to Ladi. She remained quiet for a while, then turned towards Ladi and asked her, “Do you know what this ring means?” Ladi nodded in response. Their mother then asked, “And you accepted it without informing your parents?” Ladi stayed silent. She then looked at me and said, “But your mom knows that this ring is only given to a wife on the wedding day.” I didn’t know what to say at that moment. She continued, “I’m sure when their father comes back, you will get a response, young man. But for now, I suggest you keep the ring until you hear from us.” Before I could even think of a response, Ladi told her mother, “I have already accepted the ring...”

Wow, I never knew the level of hatred for Islam is this high in thiscountry?

When you take the numbers of Muslims killed and ramsomed by either BH or Herdmen, I don't think the Christian has lost a quarter of what the Muslims has lost.

Most here are practising the religion they are birthed into, which is not by their choice. So you birthed into a religion/tribe, what moral justification do you have to see the others as lesser beings? You can as well be that persons position if you were birthed there?

Therefore, we should think wisely before we condemn other, you can't see from their position of view, if you are slaved by myopic stereotype designed to capture your reasonings.

For God sake, we are first considered blacks, that's our identity, why allow others sentiments to becloud our reasoning, we should reawaken our minds..

It is important to think wisely and avoid condemning others based on narrow-minded stereotypes because:

1. Fairness and Justice: Condemning others based on stereotypes is unfair and unjust. It assumes that all individuals within a certain group are the same, disregarding their unique qualities, experiences, and perspectives. Treating people unfairly based on stereotypes perpetuates discrimination and inequality.

2. Empathy and Understanding: Thinking wisely allows us to cultivate empathy and understanding towards others. By putting ourselves in their shoes and considering their point of view, we can develop a deeper understanding of their experiences, challenges, and motivations. This helps foster compassion and promotes harmonious relationships.

3. Overcoming Bias: Narrow-minded stereotypes are often rooted in bias and ignorance. By challenging these stereotypes and actively seeking to understand others, we can overcome our own biases and preconceived notions. This allows us to engage in more meaningful and respectful interactions, breaking down barriers and building bridges between different communities.

4. Personal Growth: Thinking wisely and avoiding stereotypes is not only beneficial for others but also for our own personal growth. It expands our horizons, broadens our perspectives, and enhances our ability to critically analyze situations. By embracing diversity and inclusivity, we become more open-minded, adaptable, and tolerant individuals.

5. Building a Better Society: Condemning others based on narrow-minded stereotypes hinders social progress and cohesion. By thinking wisely and avoiding stereotypes, we contribute to the creation of a more inclusive, accepting, and harmonious society. This leads to stronger communities, where individuals can thrive and contribute their unique talents and perspectives.

In summary, thinking wisely and avoiding condemning others based on narrow-minded stereotypes promotes fairness, empathy, personal growth, and a more inclusive society. It allows us to break free from biases and embrace diversity, fostering understanding and respect among individuals from different backgrounds.

Dear Mr. President,
BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR
ASO VILLA, ABUJA.

An OPEN LETTER..

IT’S TOO MUCH.... CORRUPTION
Mr President, Compliment of the season.
As a citizen of this country, I believe our major problem is CORRUPTION. As PMB said if we don’t kill it, it will kill Us. Many deaths in the country are directly or indirectly linked to Corruption.
The state of Institutionalised Corruption in governance can never allow any program succeed, because everyone want to take from the pie even before the program sees the light.
Institutionalised Corruption has been a persistent issue in Nigeria, hindering the country’s progress and development. To combat this pervasive problem, it is crucial to implement effective strategies and take decisive actions.
Mr President, the previous ADMISTRATION, FAILED, why, because corruption fought back, and the will wasn’t there, and nepotism (corruption) took the front stage.
Sir, we have honest and hard working Nigerians that are willing to serve. Most of the people seeking for appointments are majorly there to serve their personal interests.
Sir, if the only legacy you can leave behind, please let it be, here was the President that changed our destiny by fighting corruption squarely, RENEWED HOPE.
Your Excellency, I watched your wife on TV during the campaign and she said “God has blessed us, we are here to serve “ so you have no reason to fear, that fear is what that has held us from moving forward. The truth is that for you to succeed, you most be ready to sacrifice members of your inner caucus, family and friends. I believe money making wasn’t your desire when you came out, as your wife said you already blessed. RENEWED HOPE starts with fighting Corruption.
Mr President, appointments should be made on merit, anyone seeking for any appointment should come forward with his proposal or plans in that MDA. They should let you know what value they want to add and quarterly reporting of steps taking to achieve the goals.
You need to let them know that, they are here to make you succeed, if they are not ready, then flush them out. You should be ready for these sacrifices.
To achieve this your Excellency, we need to have a paradigm shift, to start with, we need pay a living wage. The truth is, with the present salary structure, it encourages corruption. As civil servant and citizens there should be some privileges that should cushion the salary. These can come in as free/subsidised Education, Health care and retirement benefits.
Below are steps that I believe if implemented will go a long way in reducing Corruption.

1. Strengthening Anti-Corruption Institutions:
One of the primary steps to combat corruption is to strengthen the existing anti-corruption institutions, such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). These institutions should be adequately funded, granted operational autonomy, and provided with the necessary resources to carry out their duties effectively. Additionally, there should be a clear framework for cooperation and coordination among these institutions to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness.
The police as an institute should have a major reorientation, they should know this battle starts with them.

2. Promoting Transparency and Accountability:
Transparency and accountability are crucial in the fight against corruption. The Nigerian government should prioritize the implementation of transparent governance systems and mechanisms. This includes ensuring public access to information, promoting financial transparency, and enforcing strict accountability measures for public officials. Whistleblower protection laws should be redesiged and strengthened to encourage individuals to report corruption without fear of reprisal.

3. Enhancing Legal Frameworks and Judicial Reforms:
To effectively combat corruption, Nigeria needs to enhance its legal frameworks and judicial systems. This involves enacting comprehensive anti-corruption laws and regulations that cover a wide range of corrupt practices. The legal system should provide for swift and fair trials of corruption cases, with no room for undue influence or manipulation. Strengthening the judiciary, ensuring the independence of judges, and increasing their capacity to handle corruption cases are also critical steps in this regard.

4. Fostering International Cooperation:
Corruption is a global issue, and combating it requires international cooperation. Nigeria should actively engage with international organizations, such as the United Nations and the African Union, to access technical expertise, share best practices, and collaborate on initiatives to fight corruption. International cooperation also includes extradition treaties and mutual legal assistance agreements to facilitate the repatriation of stolen assets and the prosecution of corrupt individuals.

5. Educating and Raising Public Awareness:
Education and public awareness play a vital role in fighting corruption. Efforts should be made to educate citizens, particularly the youth, about the detrimental effects of corruption on society and the economy. This can be done through school curricula, public campaigns, and community outreach programs. By promoting a culture of integrity and ethics, the society can actively reject corruption and demand accountability from public officials.

6. Embracing Technology and Innovation:
Leveraging technology and innovation can significantly contribute to the fight against corruption. Implementing e-governance systems, digitalizing public services, and using blockchain technology for transparent transactions can help reduce opportunities for corruption. Additionally, digital platforms can enable citizens to report corruption anonymously and provide real-time feedback on government services, enhancing transparency and accountability.

Technology and innovation can play a significant role in combating corruption in Nigeria. Here are some ways in which they can be utilized:

1. E-Governance Systems: Implementing e-governance systems can streamline government processes and reduce opportunities for corruption. Digitalizing public services, such as tax payments, license applications, and procurement processes, can minimize human intervention and create a transparent and efficient system. This reduces the scope for bribery and ensures that services are provided in a fair and accountable manner.

2. Digital Financial Transactions: Embracing digital payment systems can help reduce corruption in financial transactions. Encouraging the use of electronic payment methods, such as mobile money and online banking, can eliminate the need for cash transactions, which are more susceptible to corruption. It also creates a digital trail that can be easily audited, reducing the chances of embezzlement and bribery.


3. Blockchain Technology: Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize transparency and accountability in various sectors. Implementing blockchain in areas such as land registry, public procurement, and healthcare can provide an immutable and tamper-proof record of transactions. This eliminates the possibility of corruption and ensures that records are secure and transparent.

4. Whistleblower Platforms: Technology can facilitate anonymous reporting of corruption through dedicated whistleblowing platforms. These platforms can provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to report instances of corruption without fear of reprisal. By leveraging technology, whistleblowers can remain anonymous, and their reports can be securely transmitted to relevant authorities for investigation.

5. Data Analytics and AI: Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to detect patterns and anomalies that indicate potential corruption. By analyzing large volumes of data, AI algorithms can identify irregularities and suspicious activities that may go unnoticed by human investigators. This can help prioritize investigations and improve the efficiency of anti-corruption efforts.

6. Civic Engagement and Social Media: Technology, especially social media platforms, can empower citizens to actively engage in the fight against corruption. Social media can be used to raise awareness, share information, and mobilize public opinion against corrupt practices. Online platforms can also facilitate the organization of anti-corruption campaigns, protests, and petitions, putting pressure on authorities to take action.

Sir, It is important to note that while technology and innovation can be powerful tools in the fight against corruption, they are not a panacea. It is crucial to ensure that these technologies are implemented with proper safeguards, cybersecurity measures, and oversight to prevent their misuse. Additionally, efforts should be made to bridge the digital divide and ensure that all segments of society have access to these technological advancements.
CONCLUSION.
It is important to emphasize that tackling corruption requires a multi-faceted approach that involves collaboration between government, private sector, civil society, and citizens. The efforts should include legislative reforms, institutional strengthening, technological innovations, and a commitment to enforcing anti-corruption laws and policies no matter who the individual is.
Mr. President, if you fight this battle, you’ve fought more than half of our problems, other facets will automatically fall into place. We will now know Yes, The RENEWED HOPE is really real.
WE’VE SEEN YOUR FIRST STEPS, PLEASE CONTINUE, WE ARE TOTALLY BEHIND YOU, I PRAY YOU WILL HAVE THE COURAGE AND STRENGTH TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT THIS MONSTER, I PRAY NO BE INITIAL GRAGRA......
Respectively Yours,
Hasyak88@gmail.com

Tinubu vis doing everything to frustrate the refinery so Oando can become the market leader

OMG, if people can think like this, then am sorry for the country...

nairalanduser23:
I am tired of my wife's quarrelsome behaviour which I think she reserves for me. I can be having a honest conversation with her and out of nowhere it will lead to a quarrel with her. It suprises me. Strange enough, I have observed her conmunication with neighbours, work colleagues and she knows how to compose herself but when it is me even a funny comment can upset her. Even when I tell her I didn't mean her negative interpretation of a comment, she will still insist on her negative interpretation. She sometimes talks to me in a way that seems unfriendly to the point that I desire her talking to me the way she talks to outsiders. I have talked to her about it but it is not helping matters. She acts like she is not ware of her tone but there is a stark difference between how she talks to me and other people. I earn far more than her and take care of the house bills so money is not an issue. I feel like I am the only one proactive about peace in the marriage while she is care-free. How can I deal with this?

Divorce her immediately, life is too short to live with negative people..
