Thank you. I think the refusal to support a group that rapes and plans to kill all Jews in the world shows how awakened my humanity is.
I've already said the prayer, the rest is left to God

Sorry this shouldn't be posted here but I'll will need all the prayers I can get. I have gotten a relapse of an illness I suffered not long ago. So very soon I might not be contributing on this thread for a long time. It pains me that I won't be able to read propaganda and some funny takes from some funny people here.

So please your prayers will do a lot.

Thank you all and God bless you all .
I pray you're rid of the ailment

Come back stronger and better with a more awakened humanity

May God heal you bro (in more ways than one)

📰 TikTok faces new lawsuits in the US accusing it of harming children.

The lawsuits accuse the company of intentionally using addictive software to keep children on the app.

That recent so-called earthquake in Iran has all the hallmarks of a controlled nuke test. It has similar seismic features that South Korea and Japan used to record whenever Pyongyang carries out an underground nuke test.
I've never considered the Iranians fools

You can't be the leader of an axis of resistance against nuclear powers with just conventional weapons, especially now that the US and Israel want to reset the Middle East to ensure destabilization for another 100years all to their benefit

This will result to a back and forth. Russia has no right to annex any part of Ukraine. By rule of UN convention the entire geographic landscape and map of Ukraine is under it sovereignty to do as they like, govern as pleased and allie with any foreign partner.
Russia is clearly the aggressor. You claimed Russia has backers but majority of Ukrainian clear despises Putins invasion.
Similar logic can also be used by Isreal by claiming an old relinquished historic land because they can bully whoever occupied it.

.

Like I've said it's not for you to dictate what a foreign leader do or act. This same reason is what some of you relish the US for. Is Russia not doing the same? You claim Ukraine is a sovereign country with well armed military didn't Putin knows any aggression will definitely lead to a full blown war?
Russia cannot/ should not dictate what a sovereign country does and ITS own leadership should chart their own course.



This stale muddled narrative of Russia not really invading should be dead by now. We all saw the full mobilization, armored column, weapon system employed. The early part of the war was a full scale invasion on multiple front with Russia employing every weapon in their arsenal save nukes. Bombing Ukrainian base and military target as much as they can.


What does smart mean in this aspect?
Quickly conceding during the early part of the war and allowing a full Russian occupation?
Or unwilling still sticking up to the Russias interest because they threaten to invade if your against?
There's a reason why most of Eastern European are going prowest/nato.
NATO don't have to force them or invade. The soviet bloc are tilting its just time. Ukraine has the be among such fold.
Influencing a foreign interest shouldn't be about war or cohesion. Russia should learn to play its geopolitics without conflict.
You see me, I'm fully aware of International Laws and the Rights and duties of States to each other, but you see, I'm not a bury your head in the sand kind of guy. I see ground realities and I indicate them as such

Unless you just want to be up in arms, nothing in anything I wrote justifies either the positions of Russia, or Ukraine, I made mere observations as a neutral analyst

I can sum up your reply to me as "if wishes were horses", this is Geo-politics, morality is usually secondary to the players

Once again, I'm an academic observer

You guys don't interpret well. What you should have understood is that the Iranians have the ability to assemble a nuclear bomb in a short period of time, it's the same thing as having nukes. It's just like a soldier saying he doesn't have a rifle when his rifle is disassembled, but you know he can assemble it in a very short period of time.

Are you also going to argue that Boko Haram and IPOB are armies?

You are the only person I'll ever hear refer to Hamas and Hezbollah as armies. Even the US, Israel, EU and every other baby killer and hospital bomber you support has never referred to them as armies.

Yet, you somehow concluded that they are armies and you're starting to manipulate the dictionary to justify your definition. I'm not surprised considering that manipulating books to justify something is a Zionist thing.

Baby Zionist. Call Hamas and Hezbollah whatever you want. Whatever rocks your boat.
If you check my list, he's one of those who use religion to justify support for israel

Those guys are irredeemable, there's no common ground that can be reached with them. Theirs is blind and irrational support

The guy doesn't know the difference between an organized armed force which can at best be described
as quasi-military and a Professional army, or he claims not to know for the sake of israel

My advice, don't waste your time
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by IMEI:
Simeonjoe1:
Using this same logic we would say some Ukrainian soldiers are regular people drafted to fight against a Russian subjugation in their own land. Why did Russia invade Ukraine again?
We've seen former doctors, engineers etc drafted to fight and killed in Ukraine, and the popular rhetoric here is that 'Zelinskey is mad for killing his young men, Ukraine should surrender instead of fighting against a much more capable Russia forces'.( Can't the same be said for Hamas?)
Nobody blames Russia for killing drafted civilian, in fact it is celebrated and image of such is posted here for some to munch on.
Even with that Ukraine didn't hide behind any non combatant shield or employ a guerrilla tactics against the daunted '2nd strongest military in the world'. They confronted Russia head on, conventional to conventional, hence the large casualties on both sides which is mostly military.
Yours is the only sensible reply, so I'll indulge you

First of all, from what I know about Ukraine, the Donbass is overwhelmingly pro-Russia, meaning the people there actually support being annexed to Russia

Two, Ukraine's sovereignty was respected by Russia, up until they made moves to join NATO. Now, Russia is a major World Power in competition with the West along with China and it was clear they weren't going to accept such. The US would never accept Mexico doing the same with China or Russia. We know about the Cuban Missile Crisis for example and it's quite obvious because this is geopolitics, minor powers have to play smart when wedged in a battle between powers

Three, as for Zelensky carrying out forced drafts of civilians, if Zelensky had been smart about the whole issue of joining NATO, which Russia had made clear they won't accept, there'd have been no need for a war in the first place and it wouldn't have come to that . When Russia built up forces at the border, that took up sometime and Zelensky could have made a deal. Even when Russia first invaded and a Turkish brokered deal was on the table, Zelensky should have agreed to it and from reports was close to agreeing to it, before the West made moves to stop it

Fourthly, it's my personal view as an observer that Zelensky's and previous Ukraine's leadership were unwise to let it get to such an extent. As for Ukrainian volunteers who've joined the fight, seeing the Russian invasion as an affront, I don't actually blame them, I understand the sentiment. I just believe Ukraine's leadership needs to be wiser, as a country of interest between competing global powers, especially with them being neighbours to one of the powers

Fifthly, unlike Hamas, Ukraine is an actual State with a Professional army which is one of the largest in Europe and it'll make no sense for them to fight a guerilla fight like Hamas. Ukraine's army prior to the invasion had been well armed by several countries and continues to be so armed consistently, hence they have the arms to fight conventionally. Another reason for the Ukraine war largely being conventional, is Russia's approach to the war. Unlike the Israelis that have chosen to flatten everywhere and kill everyone, Russia chose to restrict itself to a battle of wills and might, against Ukraine's army. Russia could have fought in a way that forced Ukraine to employ unconventional means to fight, but they didn't and instead, opted for tactical battles. Under International Law, Ukraine has a right of self defense, being an invaded sovereign nation, Israel doesn't against Palestinians it occupies. Infact, it's Palestinians who have a right of Resistance, including armed Resistance under International Law. In light of that, it's my personal opinion that Zelensky should have been smarter about handling the NATO question, which would have forestalled the war they're engaged in now

Sixthly, comparing Ukraine which is a full fledged State(a massive Country at that) with Gaza which is a tiny blockaded and besieged strip and the Ukrainian army(a Professional army) and Hamas (a militia), is a false equivalence. The history, circumstance, motivations, legal premise, method of battle, the relationship between belligerents (Occupier and Occupied) etc. by default, make Gaza a different kettle of fish. I don't think this needs much explaining, but if you're not clear, I could expand

I believe Russia and Ukraine should solve their problems in a localized manner, by coming together as a people sharing a common geographical space, conflicting interests and find common, acceptable grounds for existing. It seems too late now, but pragmatic steps can still be taken

There are people here who just enjoy arguing, I'm not one of them. If you notice, there are monikers here I used to engage that I don't anymore, it's because I realized they were simply looking for a trading partner and I'm here to learn and grow. Your comment was sensible and suitable for that (development)

Defind Army?? you should research about Hazebolla, a group whose paramilitary arm receives training and arms from the Iranian military

Regular people, yet hazebolla posses the largest stockpiles of ballistic missiles/missiles of any non state actors in the world. They posses more weapons than most nations in the world.

Regular people, yet hazebolla paramilitary arm is structured with ranks and hierarchy with different units and uniforms and insginas.

This are the various units of hazebolla.
Bader unit- guerrilla warfare
Aziz unit - special warfare outside Lebanon
Haider unit -the quick reaction force QRF
Radwan unit- this is the special forces of the hazebolla military arm
Al-Kayim unit-logistics support group
Unit 133- ike a mossad unit, hazebolla intelligence group

Hamas military wing Al-Qassam Brigades

North Brigade—North Gaza Governorate
Beit Lahia Battalion
Beit Hanoun Battalion
al Khalifa al Rashidun Battalion
Martyr Suhail Ziadeh Battalion
Jabalia al Balad (Abdul Raouf Nabhan) Battalion
Imad Aql (Western) Battalion

Elite Battalion
Gaza Brigade—Gaza Governorate
Sabra-Tal al Islam Battalion
Daraj wal Tuffah Battalion
Radwan(al Furkan) Battalion
Shujaiya Battalion
Zaytoun Battalion

Deir al Balah Battalion
Al Bureij Battalion
Al Maghazi Battalion
Nusairat Battalion

Rafah Brigade—Rafah Governorate
Eastern Battalion
Khalid bin al Walid (Yabna Camp) Battalion
Shaboura Battalion

Hazebolla and Hamas a well structured fighting force, have now turn to Regular people 👏

Keep deceiving yourself
You have comprehension issues it seems

Did you see anywhere I mentioned Hizbullah?

Do you even know the history of Palestinian Resistance at all?

Hamas fighters are regular people who organized and chose to pick up arms, the fact that they grew and expanded is a natural consequence of that

From now on, only people who have knowledge and seek interaction and not baseless arguments should quote me...I've lost patience for all shills of insanity known as zionists

War is evil and innocents suffer on both side of war. But a true army with humanity at heart will invest billions to protect her citizens as much as they can, not to provoke an attack that puts her citizens at risk.
You'll make a stupid comment and be confident you made a point

First of all, there's only one army in this 'war', Hamas and the Resistance factions aren't an army, neither is there a Palestinian State. What exists are administrative territories not under the full control of the Palestinians i.e. both West Bank and Gaza

The Resistance factions are regular people who got fed up of being abused, having their lands and properties seized for settlers from abroad, detained arbitrarily with no prisoner rights, killed indiscriminately with no accountability, having their daily lives militarized with soldiers constantly aiming their guns at them, having their holy sites daily violated and the restriction of their religious rights etc.

The Resistance groups are a people's militia, agitating for freedom from subjugation and abuse. That's not a hard concept to grasp

I won't even waste my time with this human shield nonsense claim, that is nothing but a complete disregard for the lives of Palestinians on the part of those who claim it

Instead of stupid posts like these, you should be more like Cancri and Kingsnairaland who have revealed the basis of their bias quite clearly and stop trying to feign logic in your support, because there is none in it

There's no logic in supporting Israeli barbarism, absolutely none, that's why it's clear to me that only skewed religious reasons could be behind it, or hatred for Muslims. That's it

Israel is just another gimmicky army, just like the US, UK, and France. Other than missiles and airstrikes, they have nothing else. Their armies are good for mopping up at best.

Israel itself is a big disappointment. Gaza is a counterinsurgency paradise. You have the enemy locked on all sides and Israel literally controls all entries and exits.

Gaza is also small. Most of it is a city. A city filled with Israeli spies. And it's every easy to observe it with drones and satellites. Israel even raids it frequently.

Yet, Israel has failed in everything. It failed in containing Hamas, not to talk of defeating them. It even failed in rescuing its own hostages, and has ended up killing more hostages than it has rescued.

Even an army staffed by babies, imbeciles, and cockroaches would give us more results than Israel has given us in Gaza. Nonsense army.

In a predominantly white country, if there is an intent to train 5-year-olds for future elite marathon careers, the Kenyan or Ethiopian child in the class will likely be chosen over any white child. Similarly, if the goal is to train for Olympic sprint events like the 100 or 200 meters, children of West African descent will be favored over their white peers.

In contrast, an average white child has a better chance of being selected for a swimming competition than an average Black child. Despite America’s rivalry with China, Asian-Americans tend to be favored to represent the U.S. in table tennis or global math competitions.


List the top 10 girls considered to be pretty on the show from each season in no particular order an the average viewers will mention:


Kim Oprah- Igbo
Erica- Igbo
Nengi- Bayelsa
Maria- Igbo
Venita- Delta
T-boss- Edo
Victoria - Igbo
Kassia - Bayelsa
Beauty - North
Saskay- North

Those with peculiar facial features and exotic beauty seem to come from the Northern minorities who are Christians.

I'm not saying that those from the aforesaid regions in Southern Nigeria are the prettiest, nope.

There are thousands of pretty tall, sexy Hausa-Fulani babes "littered" across Abuja but they're not going to audition because they're majorly Muslims and even if they do audition, no sane audition team is selecting a pretty Fulani babe into a house with cartons of alcoholic drinks and handsome Bachelors ready to kiss their lips and suck their nipples during a truth/dare game. We've seen how Kannywood actresses are tortured for revealing skin and how most Northern states do not even produce their indigenes to represent in "Miss Nigeria" contest.

Islamic conservatism reduces participation from Northern regions, leaving Southern Nigeria as the primary demographic pool for such shows. Whether it's a show like Keeping up with the Kardashians or Love Island, good looks are essential to attracting viewers.

Among male contestants, Yoruba housemates such as Tobi, Mike Edwards, Seyi, and Sheggz have advanced far in these BBN, partly due to their physical appeal.


Conversely, contestants like Dami and Toyosi were eliminated early, due to a lack of immediate appeal. Week 1 relies heavily on appearance, as viewers have not yet formed opinions on contestants' personalities.

When thinking of the most successful Yoruba female housemate, Bisola often comes to mind. While she advanced far due to her talent, her appearance played a lesser role in her selection. Even Laycon, who won the show, secured victory largely through sympathy votes, not because of his looks.

Ultimately, the selection process for Big Brother Naija places a significant emphasis on appearance, as they are designed for entertainment, not talent competitions like America's Got Talent.

Consequently, regions with a higher perceived concentration of attractive individuals tend to dominate the show.
In short, Igbos are more good looking than Yorubas, so the imbalance is justified for a show like BBN
