[b]"And here is the part nobody wants to say out loud: African men in Europe have been beaten, stabbed, chased, and even killed for simply being seen with european women."

This is also a bit of a stretch. Mob violence is extremely rare in Europe. However, if it is sexual molestation, thats another ballgame entirely. I doubt however it would lead to violence.

Pakistani grooming gangs have been molesting thousands of white british girls, some as young as 14, and they have largely gotten away with it because the police did not want to be seen as racist. They did molest a one Carribean girl, and the violence that broke out made it very clear from that community that should never try it again .

As for violence in Europe, pretending it’ rare ignores the documented reality: African men have been attacked, harassed, and targeted for simply being seen with European women. These are not fantasies they are recorded incidents across multiple countries. The point is not to demonize anyone; the point is to highlight the double standard. Some Africans worship what others violently police. That contrast alone should make any thinking person pause.

And invoking Pakistani grooming gangs is not only irrelevant — it exposes the exact problem. When discussing African vulnerability, you immediately pivot to another group’s crimes as if that somehow erases the psychological wound we’re addressing. It doesn’t. It only proves how quickly people deflect when the conversation forces them to confront uncomfortable truths about power, perception, and self-worth.

This is no leftover of colonialism.

This is actual a leftover of improverished Africa. Because African countries are poor, they believe almost anything lightskinned is better than theirs.

You’re still missing the point. This is not about inventing villains or exaggerating history it’s about exposing a psychological wound that has gone unhealed for generations. Poverty alone cannot explain why a man with no dignity, no resources, and no character was treated like a prize. Colonialism didn’t just take land; it rewired perception. It sold the lie that foreignness equals safety, purity, and opportunity. That programming didn’t disappear when independence came. It still shapes beauty standards, religion, media, and social hierarchy. That is what allowed a predator to walk through Nairobi and Accra unchecked. That is not “impoverishment.” That is conditioning.

A community collapses when its men stop protecting its women not by controlling them, but by guiding, teaching, and building environments where predators cannot thrive. When men are absent, distracted, or silent, women become vulnerable to flattery, manipulation, and exploitation. That is not their weakness it is the failure of the men who should have been the shield.

A strong people protect their women.
A wise people teach their daughters discernment.
A healed people rebuild their sense of value from within.

Until Africans rebuild their sense of value, destroy the colonial mindsets and imported ideologies that distort self-perception, and until Black men reclaim their role as protectors, teachers, and stabilizers, predators will keep slipping through the cracks left by history.

Self-respect is the shield.
Not skin tone.
Not fantasy.
Not desperation.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Any man who truly knows women cannot rate them.

The story is already sensational enough, you don't need to lie about him being HIV+ without proof.

Saying “don’t rate women” or pretending this is about gender wisdom is just a distraction. The issue here isn’t about rating anyone it’s about responsibility and consequences. And no one is “lying” for entertainment. What we do know is that these women acted recklessly, sold themselves cheap, and brought shame on their own households through choices that lacked discipline and self‑respect. That part is undeniable.

But inventing medical claims without proof is dangerous and irresponsible because the HIV narrative is true. We don’t need exaggeration to make the point. Is already a warning to the entire community. The women carelessness opened the door for exploitation, humiliation, and public disgrace. That is enough to reflect on.

I don't know why Africans worship pale skin honestly outside of innovation and corruption with colonialism there's nothing special about them

Africans don’t worship RED skin by nature they were conditioned into it. Decades of racism, so called white‑supremacy narratives, Hollywood casting, Netflix beauty standards, the global push of RED SKIN Jesus imagery, and social‑media algorithms have all worked together to elevate REDness as the default ideal. Add economic inequality and propaganda that paints foreign approval as validation, and you get a psychological system designed to undermine African confidence. None of this is accidental. It’s a long‑running machinery that profits from African insecurity and keeps the continent looking outward instead of inward.

Politics › Re: Banditry: No More Street Begging In Kwara State - Kwara State Government by Hoodrat(m): 6:33pm On Feb 14

press9jatv:
Kwara State has taken a bold step by declaring that it will no longer tolerate street begging being used as a cover for criminal activities. This decision follows the arrest of a suspected bandit who was reportedly posing as a beggar. That alone should wake us up.

Street begging is no longer just a social issue. It has become a security concern.

When large numbers of able-bodied young people roam the streets under the guise of begging, it creates room for criminal infiltration. Some hide weapons. Some gather intelligence. Some monitor communities. What looks like sympathy can easily become vulnerability.

But beyond security, there is a deeper issue we must address honestly: the culture of uncontrolled birth without responsibility.

No society can progress when families continue to bring children into the world without the capacity to feed, educate, clothe, and protect them. Children should not be born into suffering. They should not grow up on the streets. They should not become tools in the hands of criminals because their parents failed to plan.

Compassion does not mean enabling irresponsibility.

Parents must understand that raising a child is not only biological it is economic, emotional, and moral. Giving birth is easy. Raising responsible citizens is the real duty.

The North, particularly parts of Arewa, must confront this reality. If we truly care about dignity, we must stop celebrating poverty disguised as destiny. We must stop normalizing child neglect. We must stop turning a blind eye to street cultures that expose children to crime, drugs, and exploitation.

Kwara’s enforcement must go beyond arrest. It should include:
• Rehabilitation programs
• Family planning awareness
• Compulsory education enforcement
• Strict monitoring of organized street networks

Security begins with responsibility. And responsibility begins at home.

Children deserve better than the streets. Society deserves better than insecurity masked as sympathy. 🫩🫩

Kwara’s decision is a necessary wake‑up call, but enforcement alone won’t solve the problem. To truly protect communities, government must pair security measures with human‑centered support. That means identifying vulnerable families, providing structured rehabilitation for those already on the streets, expanding access to family‑planning education, and enforcing compulsory schooling so children are not left to wander. Street networks must be monitored, but parents also need guidance and economic support so they are not forced into desperation. When government tackles both the security risks and the social roots, it can lift people out of the cycle instead of simply pushing them aside.

He Travels africa,exploiting women from multiple countries,cities and villages, he is known to appear as NGO, build a borehol, offer small projects, a classroom, a dusty road.
These projects are often symbolic enough to gain trust, but not enough to create real development.

3. Predators like this Russian man study african country weaknesses
He didn’t target women because they were “cheap.”
He targeted them because he understood the psychological gap created by poverty, colonial residue, and the worship of foreignness.

Everything you ve said its all fact. This Russian man recording sexual content with African women and selling it online is exactly how the Savior Scam operates throughout africa likewise foreign youtube content creators. He travels across countries pretending to help building a borehole here, a dusty road there,a cash donation here, just enough to gain trust, enter villages freely, and access women without scrutiny. Then he amplifies the charity on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter to win praise and be thanked by the africans home and abroad while hiding his real agenda. This is why villages must stop giving foreigners direct access and every youth must be trained to filter out this vile creature. Any outsider claiming to help must be vetted, approved, and supervised by local authorities. Charity without oversight is how predators enter Africa and its teh sad truth.

This Russian man showing up in Kenya and Ghana as a charity worker building roads is exactly how the Savior Scam works. Predators hide behind small projects to gain trust in a community, enter villages freely, and then exploit women. This is why communities must stop giving foreigners direct access. Any outsider claiming to “help” must be sent to the local government office first, verified, supervised, and never allowed private contact with women or families. Charity without oversight is how exploitation enters the village.

The savior Scam is real. Some foreign predators enter African villages pretending to help a borehole here , a classroom there then use that trust to sexually violate women and girls..

Every bucket of cement becomes a photoshoot.
Every child becomes a prop.
Every handshake becomes a documentary.
Villagers must stop giving blind access.
From now on: • Any foreigner claiming to help must be sent to the local government office FIRST.
• No private access to homes, women, or children.
• No unsupervised volunteer work.
• No charity without documentation and oversight.
If they are genuine, they will comply.
If they resist, that’s your warning.
Foreignness is not goodness.
Charity is not a passport.
Self-respect is protection.

That mindset mixed with poverty, desperation, and the illusion of opportunity is exactly what predators like this Russian man rely on to violate African women. The issue isn’t labels.

All this sensless killings and amplified widows is a result because we have forsaken the old covenant===============) 1. Know Yourself
Orí is not honored by rituals alone — it begins with self‑knowledge.

Know your strengths

Know your weaknesses

Know your temperament

Know what drains you and what empowers you

Ifá says:
“He who does not know himself will destroy himself.

Self‑knowledge is the first offering to Orí.

2. Walk in Good Character (Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ́)
Ifá is clear:
No destiny succeeds without character.

To honor Orí:

Be truthful

Be disciplined

Be respectful

Be consistent

Avoid arrogance

Character is the soil where destiny grows.

3. Make Choices That Align With Your Path
Orí is honored through decisions, not wishes.

Choose work that fits your nature

Choose relationships that support your growth

Choose environments that strengthen your spirit

Avoid paths that contradict your inner truth

Destiny is not magic — it is alignment.

4. Avoid Actions That Sabotage Your Destiny
Ifá warns against:

promiscuity

laziness

betrayal

greed

envy

violence

dishonesty

These actions damage Orí.
You cannot honor destiny while feeding the things that destroy it.

5. Practice Discipline and Patience (Sùúrù)
Orí rewards those who:

stay consistent

endure hardship

keep moving

don’t rush destiny

Ifá says:
“Patience is the father of character.”

Destiny unfolds in its season.

6. Keep Your Body and Mind Clean
Your Orí lives inside you, not outside.

You honor it by:

eating well

resting well

avoiding harmful habits

keeping your mind clear

avoiding emotional chaos

A polluted vessel cannot carry a pure destiny.

7. Offerings and Prayer to Orí (Ifá Practice)
In traditional practice, people honor Orí through:

morning prayer

speaking affirmations to their head

washing the head with cool water

feeding Orí with simple offerings (obi, oti, omi tutu)

consulting Ifá for guidance

But these rituals only work when character and discipline are present.

8. Keep Your Word
Orí respects people who:

finish what they start

honor commitments

stand by their principles

Your word is the contract between you and your destiny.

9. Surround Yourself With People Who Strengthen You
Orí is weakened by:

toxic relationships

jealous people

chaotic environments

And strengthened by:

wise elders

disciplined friends

supportive partners

peaceful surroundings

Destiny grows in the right company.

10. Take Responsibility for Your Life
Ifá teaches that:
“Orí is the only divinity that follows you everywhere.”

To honor it:

stop blaming others

stop waiting for rescue

take ownership of your path

Responsibility activates destiny.

In One Sentence
To honor your Orí is to live in alignment with your highest self — through character, discipline, wisdom, and intentional choices.

If Christianity and Islam were truly good for Nigerian and African people, there would be no need for the level of violence we see in our land today. The Lord said in the scriptures that He will protect those who keep His laws, testimonies, and commandments. Yet what we see happening across Africa is nothing but a betrayal of those promises widespread bloodshed, displacement, insecurity, poverty, immorality, instability, and countless unanswered prayers.

Meanwhile, the same societies that introduced these religions to us have largely moved on from the spiritual systems they once imposed. Yet they ensure that we remain spiritually weakened and disconnected from our own foundations, leaving us vulnerable and dependent.

Ever since we embraced these religions, our condition has continued to deteriorate. Our politicians keep making alliances with the same external forces that historically harmed our people, while abandoning our traditions and the ways we once sat as kings before invaders and interrupters arrived.

Foreign Affairs › Burkina Faso Rejects America’s Demands And Exposes A Global Double Standard by Hoodrat(op): 9:51pm On Feb 10

Burkina Faso’s refusal to bow to American pressure marks a turning point in Africa’s political awakening. It is not simply a diplomatic disagreement; it is a rejection of a system where Western powers dictate rules they do not follow, punish weaker nations while protecting their European allies, and expect African governments to comply without question.

For decades, the United States has used sanctions, aid conditions, and political pressure to shape the internal affairs of low‑income nations. Yet the same standards are never applied to European partners, even when they commit the very actions Washington condemns elsewhere. Power shields its own, and punishment is reserved for those outside the circle.

Burkina Faso’s parliament called out what many African societies have quietly observed: Western‑style multiparty democracy often deepens tribal divisions, invites foreign interference, and rewards leaders who chase external approval instead of internal accountability. It becomes a system where legitimacy flows from Washington, London, or Brussels not from the people.

The injustice is clear. Western governments preach sovereignty but undermine it when African nations assert independence. They condemn corruption but enable it when it secures their access to resources. They speak of partnership while maintaining an entitlement mindset that keeps Africa structurally dependent and economically vulnerable.

Nigeria’s political class exposes this contradiction even further. Instead of strengthening domestic institutions, many of its leaders fly to London to present their agendas to The British Government, seeking validation abroad to convince their colonial master of been fit to do the job that maintain the European interest,keeping the Nigerian citizen poorer,destablize and vunerable, before been elected at home. It is a colonial hangover disguised as diplomacy and it keeps the door open for the very interference they later complain about.

Burkina Faso’s move is a statement: Africa cannot build true sovereignty on systems designed to keep it subordinate. Whether one agrees with their model or not, their message is unmistakable. A continent that continues to perform for external approval will never control its own destiny. Sovereignty begins when African nations stop asking permission to govern themselves.

Politics › Is Nigeria Truly Sovereign, Or Just Independent On Paper??? by Hoodrat(op): 8:58pm On Feb 10

Nigeria is legally independent, but its political behavior often suggests something deeper: a nation still seeking external validation. Nothing illustrates this more clearly than the repeated spectacle of Nigerian presidential candidates traveling to Chatham House in London to outline their plans for Nigeria before foreign audiences.

A truly sovereign nation speaks first to its own people. That is why this pattern looks so strange when compared to other major democracies. A United States presidential candidate going to London to “explain himself” would be political suicide. American voters would mock him as weak, insecure, and unfit to lead. An Indian candidate doing the same in Paris would be condemned as betraying national pride. A Canadian or Australian candidate flying to Berlin or Washington to declare their intentions would be laughed at by their own citizens and media. Their political cultures are confident, their institutions strong, and their electorates expect leaders to answer to them — not to foreign think tanks.

The United States, India, Canada, and Australia would never tolerate such behavior. Their leaders face domestic scrutiny, debate at home, and answer to their own people. Their political cultures are confident, their institutions strong, and their electorates expect accountability within national borders. A candidate leaving the country to “explain himself” abroad would be ridiculed or politically destroyed.

Thus the Chatham House pilgrimage a disgrace to so called Giants of Africa and it represents deep colonial yokes of Iron on every nigerian citizen necks . Either it is a colonial Master refusing to let go of its influence and economic benefits or It is chosen by Nigerian politicians who feel safer abroad than at home both choice reveals broken trust between leaders and citizens, a political culture shaped by external approval, and a ruling class that sees foreign endorsement as a shield. The contradiction is stark: a nation that claims independence, yet whose leaders seek legitimacy outside its borders.

Nigeria’s sovereignty is compromised in deed and in behavior. The state is sovereign; the political class behaves as if it is not. Until Nigeria rebuilds trust in its own institutions, confidence in its own political space, and pride in its own national platforms, it will continue to act like a country performing for its former colonial master. Real sovereignty begins when Nigerian leaders speak to Nigerians first and when Nigerian approval becomes the only approval that matters.

WizardOfNG:
100% agree. Secularity in public and national life/space must be sacrosanct for a nation serious about progress, growth and development.

Leaders at all levels failed to act bravely in the past and now, detrimentally, religion has become "the opiate of the masses" of Nigeria (Karl Marx) and a fundamentally major headache of our nation today.

Is it coincidence that China that has become increasingly anti-religion, with an openly Atheist leader Xi Jinping, has moved developmentally at literally the speed of light embracing and elevating STEM (science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics) above religious faith and worship?

I personally and totally understand the negative indoctrination and damage religion is capable of that Kagame seeks to curb because he understands that a nation and people defined majorly by religious worship are a patently unproductive people, naturally least-adept at finding and delivering solutions for society, as Marx observed long ago.

A society does not collapse because of religion.It collapses when the moral laws that regulate human behaviour are abandoned.
The commandments of the Most High were never about gathering and staging performances. They were a complete civilising framework:
regulating immorality,restraining cruelty,preventing injustice,protecting the weak,guiding community development,enforcing fairness in trade
preserving the land, maintaining hygiene and public health, establishing dietary discipline, creating order in family and social life
These laws were the backbone of stable ancient African societies.
They were not religion, They were national ethics. When a people discard these laws, something else always fills the vacuum usually loud doctrines, emotional gatherings, and charismatic personalities who offer excitement instead of discipline.

That is exactly what happened in Nigeria.
Instead of the commandments that build strong communities, people embraced: imported doctrines that reject responsibility.

A nation protects its future when it protects the minds of its people. Across the continent, unregulated religious spaces have become breeding grounds for confusion, manipulation, and imported doctrines that fracture identity and causes widspread immorality, instead of the opposit. When a leader insists on structure, accountability, and trained spiritual leadership, that is not oppression it is national hygiene.

A society cannot grow when every street corner becomes a pulpit, every loudspeaker becomes a doctrine, and every charismatic voice becomes a “prophet.” Without standards, religion becomes a marketplace. Without training, spiritual authority becomes exploitation. Without regulation, foreign ideologies drown out the cultural clarity a nation needs to stand on its own feet.
