Jagaban has become the beautiful bride to everybody. US is offering, Isreal is offering, China is offering, Russia is offering. Just a few days ago, Putin sent a message thanking Mr President for supporting UN resolution for combating Nazism..

I love the fact that Nigeria now has options to buy weapons, gone are the days US delayed the supplies of weapons to us even after payments had been made and then some terms and conditions limiting the capacities how the weapons could be used thereby giving some kind of upper hand to the terrorists. Nigeria can now give the US the middle finger.


After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

You well so?

People are dying, and the wolves are circling,.looking for an arms deal, and you're hailing Tinubu?

Putin wouldn't have come trying to profit from Naija's war situation if Tinubu had dealt with it like a normal President.

Rocked these nice strong shoes back then in primary school from Kingsway stores @ Lagos Island. Nostalgic times! Don't know if BATA still exists

Bought them right from the Bata Shop in Ilorin in the 70s and 80s.

They had these templates where you placed your feet and they used them to give you the best fit.

Inrember running into classmates with their parents and siblings.......



Will such days ever come back for Nigeria?

Can one keep secretary birds as a pet?

They can grow as tall as your average Nigerian babe. Up to 5 feet tall. They have sharp talons and a kick that can pulverise tissue and probably break bone.

A guy here.

We're the ones who can really tell you what's what.

Here's my take:

He's really into you when:

1. He doesn't lie to you.

2. He's really interested in what you do.

3. He scolds you when you do something he doesn't like, especially if it's something you know is wrong.

4. He takes interest in the well-being of your family, but is wary of your friends, especially if you have any with questionable traits.

5. If he's more interested in helping you with meaningful things than vanities, i.e. he pays for your Mom's treatment but refuses to buy you an iPhone. The guy who does the opposite is really after your body. Isn't it an irony?

6. He can mess up, but he does show true remorse and you can see he's really trying to change, just for you. No one is perfect, after all.

7. He encourages you to be a better person. He's doing that because he secretly believes he can be the primary beneficiary if that works out.

There's a lot more to say, but I gotta work.

Others can agree or disagree.

It's a free world.

Hmmmm.....thieves calling unto thieves

May the Lord have mercy on the innocent, because they did nothing to bring this scourge upon this country.

May those who did and still support this rule of oppression reap the fullness of their reward.

Is the current man there not worse than any cabal?

In fact, is he not a one-man cabal?

MONEY247:
I was speaking with a lady colleague and she shared with me a story about her husband...
According to her she said she does everything, I mean everything for her husband...
From sexual needs to food to respect to whatever you can think of...to please him.

When she discovered/suspected he was cheating she went on to learn various sexual styles, even to the extent of watching pornography... just to make the bedroom game sweet for her husband....

This man still went ahead continuing the affair outside the marriage...
She threatened to leave the marriage and call it quits when he came back to his senses...
And became the family Man...
I can tell this woman is still beautiful, she keeps herself clean and classy....

My question is this, what makes a married man to commit adultery or cheat...
Just what...

Man wey you fight other girls to marry, you no know say de other girls dey one corner dey wait for dia turn?

See, in the vast majority cases, it's just a continuation of life prior to marriage, nothing else!

Why do men cheat?

BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY CHEATING BEFORE MARRIAGE! SIMPLE!

LordBiden:
Jesus is not an ordinary mortal,he is the son of God so they can't be compared.

When you set up your own ministry you can hand over to your assistant.

The same way German Reinhard Bonnke handed over to American Daniel Colenda who was volunteering at the ministry warehouse when they met, abi?

The same way Baba Akindayomi handed over to Pastor Adeboye who isn't his son or son-in-law?

Anyway, as long as the hand of God is in the matter, all will be well. If it's man's affair all through, it can have a disastrous outcome.

Clement Hastrup A king without a Yoruba name

Almost all northern traditional rulers use Arabic names, too, so, what's your point?

AndroBlaze:
And so.....if you are Yoruba (or even African) you should know our names fulfil the function of telling outsiders who we are (or were) or (and) where we are going or intend to be...so what exactly is your problem.

Also I've never met a black Haastrup that wasn't Yoruba, so what exactly is the issue here?

No mind dem.....what's the problem with names?

What of the Northern Emirs who don't use Arabic names?

1Alex:
Among the 8 front-runners, the strongest candidates seem to be:

1. Cardinal Pietro Parolin

Why?

He’s Italian — traditionally, Italians have historically been favored (most popes were Italian before John Paul II broke the trend in 1978).

He’s already the Vatican’s Secretary of State, meaning he is extremely powerful, trusted, and experienced in Church diplomacy.

He is a moderate, meaning he can appeal to both conservatives and progressives — very important when trying to unite cardinals from very different parts of the world.

Bookmakers and Vatican watchers have been tipping him for a while, meaning inside information supports his chances.


Risk? Some cardinals might want a more "global" Pope (like an African, Asian, or Latin American) instead of another European.

2. Cardinal Luis Tagle

Why?

He’s known as the "Asian Pope Francis," meaning he shares the late Pope’s softer, compassionate approach.

If the cardinals want to continue Francis's legacy, Tagle would be a natural choice.

Choosing him would make him the first Asian Pope, sending a strong signal about the global nature of the Church (Asia has huge Catholic populations, especially in the Philippines).

He is well-liked personally — humble, media-friendly, and speaks good English.


Risk? Some very conservative cardinals may find him too liberal, and his relatively younger age (67) could mean a long reign — which not every voting cardinal wants.

3. Cardinal Matteo Zuppi

Why?

Italian, again (location helps).

Very close to Pope Francis and seen as his "spiritual son."

A bridge-builder: he worked on peace missions (Russia-Ukraine peace initiative), which shows diplomatic skills.

Progressive on LGBTQ and marginalized groups — which would continue Francis’s tone.


Risk? Some conservatives in the conclave might resist him because of his liberal positions.

Less likely candidates:

Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Eijk are too hardline conservative — the majority of cardinals today were appointed by Pope Francis, who leaned more moderate and liberal.

Cardinal Besungu has strong African support but his outright opposition to Pope Francis's teachings might hurt him in this conclave.

Cardinal Erdo is strong but has made some very controversial statements (especially about refugees) that could alienate moderate voters.

Cardinal Grech is respected but a bit too "low-key" compared to others.

If I had to bet, Cardinal Parolin is the most likely winner.
If cardinals want continuity with a global flavor, Luis Tagle could be a surprise pick.
If they want an Italian with strong Francis ties but not too radical, Zuppi is right there.

If Pietro Cardinal Parolin becomes the Pope, then it's officially the end times.

There's a centuries-old prophecy of popes ascendancies at the end times, and the last Pope was called "Peter the Roman".

The internet will be abuzz for weeks!

You are always on the side of injustice.


One day it will be you and no one will side you.

Continue !

I'm on the side of peace and an end to the war.

It's obvious you don't know that these countries see war as a business enterprise.

If you really know what has transpired among these greedy Europeans and the Biden government with regards to the war, you will applaud Trump for all he's done.

I wonder why you term an unwillingness to prosecute war as "injustice".

Trash talk

Oya, talk your superior talk, naa, let's see.

JuanDeDios:
Sebi people on Twitter alleged that he was supplementing his income through other means.

Dude was already a billionaire before becoming king, Bro.....

ALTERNATEID:
At least, Trump is more respectful and humble this time around unlike their first ever chaotic meeting.

Zelenskyy grossly disrespected Trump the first time around, which was why Trump and Vance gave it to him the way they did.

He arrived without formal garb for a formal meeting. Try to dress like he did for a corporate job interview and see if the panel won't lecture you harshly and send you away. Say even less of the White House.

This second meeting isn't at the White House, so Trump is respecting his hosts. Zelenskyy, as usual, is just being childish with these stupid clothes he always shows up in.

More importantly, Zelenskyy was supposed to visit the President of The United States. Why did he first go and visit opposition members of the Congress? Do you think Trump didn't know he went to see some Democrat Members of Congress first before coming to the White House?

Anyway, I'm sure you get the picture.

You learnt fuji music from Micheal Jackson and P. Daddy

Don't mind the he-goat.

He lived with a practicing Fuji musician but he picked nothing from him, even though he became a Fuji musician himself.

Where e come learn?

Fuji dey dull IQ, I swear!

Fuji music is the stupidest, most overrated noise that can be called music on earth.

The "music" of touts, thugs, area boys and other miscreants, music wey dey kill brain cells, music wey dey dull IQ.

The only "music" genre where the players actively hate each other and go to great lengths to vilify, abuse or even kill each other by diabolical means.

The "music" where each player declares that he is the "king of music" and all they do is copy other people's songs, except they make them sound bad.

Stupid cacophony that some people call music.

Bro na so we hear am oo! APC has finally succeeded in burying our dear country after killing her in 2015.

They have modelled themselves after China's CCP that produces all office holders no matter what!

One party state

Dasall!

INEC should just pack up and go home.

LET SITTING PRESIDENTS AND GOVERNORS JUST NAME THEIR SUCCESSORS, KAWAI!!

At least, we won't waste money on ineffectual elections anymore.

LordBiden:
Busy body SA

Ramaphosa focus on getting jobs for your lazy ass citizens.

How is SA a busybody?

Ramaphosa is obviously on an assignment and he played his part beautifully.

He didn't jump into a matter that is not his concern, the players asked him to do what he's doing.

Putin called him beforehand.

Zelenskyy came visiting to discuss.

He briefed Trump afterwards.

This doesn't sound like a busybody's doings to me.

I'm sure it's not lost on us both that our very own Baba was not asked to play this honourable role.

SpatialKing:
Exactly 👌
Peter Obi has proven that Governors are useless when it comes to presidential elections

Peter Obi defeated Tinubu in Lagos state is own backyard without a governor

Buhari won GEJ with all the Governors around him

The only problem is INEC, if INEC defects to APC there is nothing anyone can do..

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news......but INEC is already in APC. The Supreme Court, too.

Las-las, pipu wey fight roforofo fight go resemble each other. Den go be like twins. Innocent go resemble guilty. No way to differentiate dem again.

That is to show you that Russia is a 3rd rate power. Even Isreali prime minster is under international arrest warrant and he travels everywhere.

B 2 bomber go dey air, and A 10 warthog go straff una whole country.

The A10.......an absolute UNIT of a plane, abi na flying gun?

In fact, it's a YUUUGE GUN with a plane attached.

They arrest Nigerians in the UK for preaching Jesus Christ on the street.

They still come here and vilify our people for buying what they want to eat.
