Propaganda posts from Tinubu boys.

Ona don start. Bunch of FOOLS.

He just started producing last month, not upto 2 months yet, yet NNPC & the likes from Federal govt keep cooking up rumors against him.

You're a complete dumb ass for this comment, you do not even know the context of the post but you jumped to comment. There is a reference to the post & this was about a speech Obama gave yesterday. The link is literally on the post but as a RETARDED & GOD-FORSAKEN IDIOT & ABOMINATION as you are & your generations are, you decided to completely ignore that as you're a complete waste of spermatozoa.

This post is DUMBEST post on the Internet TODAY!

You are bitching about the influence of Obama on the Democratic Party. You insinuate that he "might" be running a shadow government.

Meanwhile, Donald "Grab 'em by the Pussy" Trump is the ONE who commanded EVERY Republican in Congress to KILL a bill that would tighten the US Border and solve the illegal immigrants problems that Trump and the rest of the Republicans have been bitching about.

In other words, a former President UNDERMINED the current administration by leveraging his influence with his party members.

That's the shadow government you're looking for. Not Obama.

Also, using the term "shadow government" shows that you are one of those Conspiracy NUTHEADS who think the Democrats are CONTROLLING the weather and sending hurricanes to Florida.

Simply put, he wants to be the Jagaban of Black Americans.

His next tactics is to throw in Slavery and Police brutality fear over the black men.

For reference: https://thehill.com/homenews/race-politics/4929604-obama-backlash-black-men/

Obama faces backlash for comments toward Black men in recent speech where he was scapegoating Black men, that black men are not enthused about voting for Kamala.

He might be quietly running a “shadow government” in the U.S. I think that even though he's no longer in office, Obama still holds a lot of influence over the Democratic Party and what happens in politics. This idea gained attention after his recent speech, where he pointed out that black men don’t seem excited to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Obama has run 8 years in Office.

- Has allegedly run a shadow government under President Biden.
- Is allegedly planning to run a shadow government under Kamala.

In Nigeria, former Governors & leaders like TINUBU & OBASANJO often keep a lot of power behind the scenes under APC & PDP, even after they leave office. These leaders continue to control important decisions and politics, creating what's known as a "shadow government." This happens when they work in secret or influence decisions without officially holding power, which can sometimes weaken democracy.

I mean, this is what African/Nigerian leaders do.

I compare Obama’s ongoing role in politics to what happens in African countries. Even though Obama isn’t doing anything illegal or against the rules, his continued involvement raises questions. Is his influence as a former president too strong, and could it impact how the government works today?

How much power should a former leader have in the future of American politics?
Shouldn't he just retire and be happy?

The timing. Metro isn't it suppose to be roughly every 30 mins or less

This is for a start, the timing will surely improve

You explained it better. The Maslow Hierarchy of Needs explains everything. But if so, how come older Chinese scientists who grew under Mao were able to forge ahead in research? Let's not forget that the Nobel rewards mostly if not entirely basic research. What about Indians and Pakistanis? Fine, some of them were raised in the West and/or almost all (early Indian and Pakistanis) scientists studied in Western institutions. So did we. How come they were able to focus on research and generate fantastic ideas which had great impacts? If we say poverty and colonisation are the obstacles, how come Pakistanis and Indians forged ahead? For poverty, we have had Chinese who grew up under Mao and Japanese who lived and had their lives disrupted after the World War cart away prizes.

For Africans, it could be greed. We want always want to steal and amass wealth. I don't know about Indians or Pakistanis, but the Chinese govt paved the way for it citizens. Instead of just relying on universities, the Chinese government created a system that focused on practical skills through apprenticeships. During Mao’s time, many schools and universities were closed, but young people were taught hands-on skills in industries. They learned by doing, not just studying in classrooms. This helped China build a strong base in manufacturing and engineering, which later supported scientific research. By the time China started producing Nobel Prize winners, they had already built the skills and resources needed for research, even though many scientists grew up in poverty under Mao.

Gerrard59:
No vex o, but were you serious when you typed those words? I whispered "Ah!"

Yes, I was doing a study of life in Nigeria from 1940s to 1960s for a project I am working on, I realised that Nigeria would have been better off staying colonised, so far so little has been achieved with the so-called independence. I looked into other African countries as well, there are fairing much better but we are in the same boat. Nigeria never developed one bit since then. We will keep creating oppressors over oppressors in the next 100 years, the worse than Abacha regime will still happen. We're not even there yet.

I have siblings back in Nigeria & I'm trying to move them out, but looking at the cost per head, It is costing me a lot. I'm upset.

So this year's Nobel Prize (in the science category) have been announced: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62r02z75jyo

As with previous awards, no black person has won a prize in the science category. One of the reasons I stated why that hasn't been possible is because our brilliant folks put economic sustenance first before research. The monetary benefits of scientific research take so long to materialise meanwhile our brilliant folks (the majority who are from average families) who went for further studies in the abroad are more interested in making money because of the prevailing conditions they found or find themselves in.

Before these awards were announced, the tale of my university mate who had a first class in Chemical Engineering made me remember this thread because this is someone I am ready to give my all if he was interested in a PhD. I would have thrown every support system I have and know to see him gain admission into a top university in the US (I had CALTECH in mind). But as he revealed, he needs money, not further degrees. The other brilliant folk declined a PhD because he too wants to earn money. Maybe because they are slightly older than I am, but earning money quickly was their major reason for not pursuing a PhD. On the other hand, for those who pursue a PhD, tend to go into the private sector rather than academia or continue research. However, judging from the Nobel laureate, the vast majority were in academia for ages as this provide the time and space to pursue basic research findings without thinking about the costs involved or profit motives. The private sector does not have that time to wallow.

In conclusion, we will still wait for who the first black person in the science category will be. Till then, this year's winners have done well. One interesting aspect I noticed (I didn't read else anywhere) is Karl Reed whose PhD students won both the 2023 and 2024 Chemistry prizes. Also, it seems relatively easy to predict who will be a Nobel laureate in the medicine/physiology and maybe chemistry categories. How? Check the winners of the Albert-Lasker Medical Award and the Breakthrough in Science Award. When a black person wins any, then it is highly likely that person will one day win a Nobel Prize. Another way to presage is how relevant or commercially mind-blowing that discovery or innovation/invention has been in today's world. Gene editing (CRISPR/Cas9) and AI have won awards even though their timelines are much shorter than the usual Nobel laureates' findings.

cc: kelechi009

Hmm I agree with you, and quite frankly agree with the argument we use to have that the white man is actually far more intelligent than the black man, it took me a while to get here but I am eventually here. I'll probably create a long thread to explain this later on. I sincerely wish we never left the English slavery called Colonisation, my life would have been better off being colonised. I'm so livid right now.

But back to the point, you've made a great point about why many talented people, especially from average backgrounds, choose money over further studies or research. Using Nigerian footballers as an example is a good way to explain this. Just like some of our best players choose to play in less competitive leagues for higher pay, many brilliant minds in Africa do the same with their careers. They prioritize making money quickly because they need to support themselves and their families.

The same thing happens with scientists. To do big things in research, like winning a Nobel Prize, you need time, money, and support. But for many, survival comes first. They take jobs that pay well right away instead of going into research, which can take a long time to pay off. This is why we don't see as many black people winning Nobel Prizes in science yet, many are focused on overcoming financial struggles.

Before anyone can think about making big discoveries or building research institutions, they have to defeat poverty. If we can create better opportunities for people to succeed without worrying about money, then more brilliant African minds will have the chance to shine in research and maybe even win a Nobel Prize one day.

It is a SCAM.

Wetin dey vex me be say na the cognitive dissonance and hypocrisies. You want a man to help you then after that, you run to Twitter to label all men as bad, cruel and scum. Then, why rely on men for your financial needs without working for it? You have young unmarried women insulting/mocking young bachelors whereas they sleep with married men. Tomorrow, these same spinsters are the ones who whine that men cheat on their wives and call for the destruction of the man. In the Ja.rus' case, there was a lady like that tweeted that the LASG should deal with him, only for everyone to know that Odanz had a mental visual remembrance of her vagina. Meanwhile, her supposed BF is a medical doctor based in the UK. _{Na mumu dey do long distance relationship sef}. Or the other one who criticised a woman for seeing marriage as her all yet she tweeted how she loves a man but cannot have him to herself because he is married. Preach one thing, practice another.

Sometimes, I blame older men as they grew up in a different era, but hopefully, my generation draws the line between being a mistress and giving too much power to ungrateful beings. Na biology cause all these things. Sometimes, the illegality in Nigeria generates many money-miss-road men, plus the mentality most of our brothers have - literally using money to buy off women's attraction and attention.

On the financial aspect again, these women work for their money. The question is: what do they use it for? Recent studies have shown that single women outearn married women in certain professions and even slightly out-earn single men in some professions. In fact, if not for male testosterone which confers a higher advantage, women would have equal employment percentages with men across many industries. It is why I support the so-called solely female initiatives their ring leaders promote. Just that no one should cry when men replicate the same for young men. These are women who will never lend money to men for just having a broad chest and preek. So, after amassing employment opportunities and salaries men in yesteryears got, why do they want free money from the same men simply based on "I be woman o"? They asked for equality, and they got it. They should work for their money. No free lunch.

As for the bold, where else is different? Women are the same everywhere. That to me isn't really the issue, but the hypocrisy after collecting the money only to slander young men. Sha, dem go born boys and those ones will reap the benefits as the society is even harsher on boys who are/were solely raised by women.

Alongside the lady you have citied on Twitter, there was another lady always abusing Tacha for being promiscuous called "Aunty Ada" on that same Twitter. She was also found having an affair with a married man also for monetary gains, she came and denied but there was too much factual evidence against her. Most of the words of women on social media should be taken with a grain of salt.

Every body is abusing Ja.rus meanwhile most of those people all have a married man they are dating which funds their lifestyle. Someone like Ja.rus has enough funds to even go round 5 women and it would not shake him. As a Muslim man he was still attacked for doing what his Northern brothers would have done and they are praised for it, I cannot even remember when last someone condemned the great Emir Sanusi Response To Marriage To 18 Year Old Princess and took her to the UK for education. No one made any noise back then. On this Nairaland, people were raging as If Ja.rus has killed someone.

Majority of the divorced women as well are in relationship with married men for financial gains, which they blamed those mistresses for, so what goes around came back around at the end. Nobody wants their husband to have a side chic or mistress but will gladly be a side chic while they are single. who are we deceiving.

Gerrard59:
Women should work for their money. We're in the era of gender equality. Work your money. I have given my female friends money without asking for anything in return. I have been asked for a loan, but I dashed it out to ex-female classmates. However, I will not give money to a random lady without she providing evidence of work whether academic or otherwise. There's a reason scholarship awarding organisations have minimum requirements for applicants.

Nothing like free money. Work for it. Aren't you equal to a man?

Hahaha you don vex

I am always perplexed why modern day women always expect men to give them money without anything in return, especially when I asked if she gives *HER OWN FRIENDS* any thing at all or sponsors her friends on a vacation. Notice, I said *HER FRIENDS* which means the people she holds dearly so not even a romantic partner. None of the women on this thread give to their friends that are dearest to their hearts but they want a total male stranger to give them every thing without nothing in return. I am really surprised because simple logical scenarios that women can use amongst themselves is never used for men, I mean look at the last time you have gifted a female friend or family member and ask yourself why you aren't doing more for people around you. So then why do think or want a stranger or male friend to do the same for YOU for absolutely nothing. This is just madness. If not that I want to preserve my culture, I would just marry outside of West Africa.

Its common for a well to do woman to help a man without anything involved, but not the same with men.
Even the woman in the story that brought this post, was trying to feed her family by accepting help from her husband's friends, who could not help her or her husband without defiling her.
Or was she not trying to help her husband?

Yes, but it's her husband and that's normal.

I am referring to personal friendships, how many times have you taken your friends out, paid for them, sponsored them on vacation trips without any reward.

This is almost always expected from men only.

murphy2get:
As a man, when things go down financially 4u, only ur woman will feed u. 98% of your friends will abandon u, invest in your woman.

But to see d right woman is the problem now, all we seeing now are slay Queens..

God pls help me ur Son🙏🙏😭😭😭

LMAO, except you have married that woman, she won't feed you any thing, it's hunger that will finish you 😭😭😭

Also watch out for Men or Women who break properties or electronics anytime they are angry, It is a sign that they may actually kill you in extreme anger.

I have personally experienced a Girlfriend who breaks my properties whenever she is angry, I had to boot her off out of my house one day out of anger, going forward I always avoid Psychos like that.

3. Ignoring or Downplaying Their Mental Health Issues
It’s important for everyone to take care of their mental health. If your partner has been diagnosed with a mental health condition or shows signs of one but refuses to seek help, this can be a major issue. Mental health problems like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder don’t disappear on their own, and they can deeply affect your relationship if left untreated.

What to Look For:

Denying or minimizing the seriousness of their mental health.
Refusing to talk about their emotions or mental state.
Avoiding therapy or medication, even when they need it.

2. Unpredictable Anger or Violence
No one should feel unsafe or scared in a relationship. If your partner has sudden outbursts of anger, is physically aggressive, or threatens violence, this is a serious red flag. These behaviors often escalate over time, leading to dangerous situations after marriage.

What to Look For:

Angry reactions that seem out of proportion to the situation.
Breaking things, yelling, or physical harm during arguments.
Threats or intimidation to get their way.

Yesterday I was reading this Blog Post about Miss Switzerland, a tragic and shocking incident has emerged involving Kristina Joksimovic, a former finalist in the Miss Switzerland pageant, who was allegedly murdered by her husband, Thomas. The circumstances surrounding the case are deeply disturbing, as it is alleged that he dismembered her body and disposed of the remains in a blender.

Marriage is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your life. It’s a commitment that involves trust, understanding, and deep emotional connection. But before taking that leap, it’s important to observe certain behaviors in your partner that might be red flags. Ignoring odd behaviors like sudden mood swings, controlling tendencies, or signs of mental health issues like bipolar disorder can lead to serious challenges down the road.

1. Extreme Mood Swings
If your partner’s mood changes suddenly and without any clear reason, it might be more than just a bad day. Sometimes, people with conditions like bipolar disorder experience extreme highs (mania) and lows (depression). This isn’t about simple sadness or excitement, but emotions that are so intense they affect daily life.

What to Look For:

Periods where they are overly excited or happy, talking fast, making impulsive decisions.
Sudden shifts to being deeply sad, hopeless, or withdrawn.
Unpredictable changes in their energy levels, sleep, or behavior.

How many women can you help without demanding for their body in return? Just answer this question in your heart

I have a question regarding this, usually when women make this statement.

When last did you help a fellow man without anything involved?

It is intereSting that women are the only ones that want help out of nothing while they themselves do not help anyone, not help their family members who are struggling.

There are killers & there are psychos.

Levels dey.

JovialJune:
What was funny was the way most men were choosing their friend on X, it was a serious debate there lask week, very callous of them, which shows the breed of men in existence today, imagine if their father treated their mother like that when she was trying to push them out, same people will be foaming in the mouth condemning their father with insults, yet they would do some thing to their wife, smh.

Yeah, I would just try to be objective in the situation.

The best course of action would have been to assign someone to go to the hospital right away and pick up my friend, then use my phone to keep an eye on their condition. The distance between the "friend" and my location could be another criterion that is not assessed here. For example, if it takes an hour to get to the friend, it would be much faster to send an ambulance or use Uber rather than making the trip there yourself.

In this case, the family will undoubtedly hold the husband responsible for the wife's passing (if she dies because of lateness of taking to the hospital).

Next question we should ask is, does this "friend" have any family members and why is it that none of them were called.

JovialJune:
So what's your contribution to your friend in the hospital? Your presence will remove the bullet and make him well?

What's so funny is that people will eventually discover their own friends will choose their family over them in such a scenario. I was surprised this was even a trick question.

Karleb:
I didn't mute Buchi for you guys to bring his screenshots here.

Buchi is an idiot that speaks big grammar in the same class as Reno.

Your friend that was shot is the emergency and you should visit him first unless there's someone already with him.

Would your friend do the same for you, remember your friend is also being treated at the hospital. So what's the point?

Why are people even having kids when they know they cannot take care of them?

Magicalsineros:
@all the people venting anger at my write up. Why didn't the man's friend, help their fellow man without demanding for se.x from his wife? Its the pure reality. You men can't help a woman or your fellow man in need without getting something in return.

I'm not applauding any woman cheating, but the truth is, many of you here are hypocrite.

Even in offices, many of you bosses demanding se.x from women seeking promotion, employment, administration or in financial needs, you know that she's married to your fellow man, yet you always want to take advantage of her and her husband incompetence.

So, before you start your blame, Start with your fellow men

This is the issue with Nigerian men in general, a poor Nigerian man giving birth to kids when he knows he cannot simply take care of them. I'm tired of them.

You don't need a Mexican visa alone to go to Mexico. You can go with a UK visa, an EU visa or a US visa. I will fight to get the UK visa since that's like the easiest visa you can get from Nigeria if everything is right and use that to go birth in mexico.

Do you know anyone who has travelled to Mexico with a UK or Schengen visa, this information is true in theory but on-ground rules of Mexico is what I fear.

Oshokhai69:
It was just a rumor. Till today, the alleged Nigerians haven’t been caught. They arrested two Nigerians but released them cos they were innocent. The guy that was caught on video renting the Airbnb spoke fluent Swahili to the Airbnb owner. Most likely not a Nigerian.

The thing is their lazy men there hate Nigerian men cause according to them, Nigerian men take their women using money they throw around.

The envious lazy men start these rumors about how Nigerian men are killing their women for money rituals and this is how xenophobic attacks start. Same thing happened in SA. All rumors spread that lead to the killing of innocent Nigerians in those countries.

Chaii can you just imagine & he was going with a rumour.

Gerrard59:
Last weekend, I participated in an African-themed event and we (a little group) had lunch opposite the venue. A Ghanaian, Beninouse, two Kenyans, a Ugandan and a Namibian. One of the Kenyans, a lady, narrated how Nigerians are troublesome in the country. What crimes do they commit, I asked. She narrated with grief and sorrow that Nigerians are behind the gruesome murder of young Kenyan girls and afterwards, they dump the bodies near bushes and dumpsites. What about the Somalians? "They are not troublesome and even bring business to the country". The Ghanaians? "Those ones are not troublesome either" What about South Africans? "Oh, they are the best! They follow the rules and mind their business. The problem is Nigerians". The Ugandan interjected to say that "Nigerians are very cunny to which they equate it as "smartness"". I felt bad and apologised but reminded her that back in Nigeria, it is actually a ritual (pun unintended) to have young girls murdered for simply no reason. Furthermore, I told her that whenever these Nigerians are arrested, they should be hanged, no ifs or buts! They should not allow Ruto's in-law who is a Nigerian to lobby anything but deal with the perpetrators brutally, thoroughly, and mercilessly. Also, I advised that Kenya should put up restrictive border controls against Nigerians regardless of what they opine.

When I condemn crime, Ndi lovey-dovey will accuse me of being an Uncle Tom. Tomorrow, ignorant and arrogant Nigerians will say Kenyans are xenophobic when they get angry as their young women's bodies are mutilated. Yes, mutilated as certain body parts are nowhere to be found upon recovery of the dead bodies. Apparently, the gIaNtS of Africa have carried their "rituals make one rich mentality" outside the borders of Nigeria.

I wonder what Kelechi009 has to say about our recent ritual exports to East Africa.

The issue was if they practise money rituals and whether they are effective; the answer was yes. I never claimed that body mutilation or the sale of body parts does not occur or that Nigerians do not engage in it. I can guess that the premise of this argument comes from not believing that anything above the physical or material world exist which if you were truthful enough would just admit that this is your stand, so we can stop going back and forth.

Nigerians, especially the uneducated ones, are known to commit a lot of crimes wherever they go. For instance, Dubai and the UAE as a whole, which only admits educated immigrants, have problems such as cult gangs among Nigerians, but you won't find these kinds of problems in the West, where only educated immigrants are accepted.

Furthermore, the most of the time, xenophobic countries stem not from Nigerian crimes but rather from jealousy of living in a place where they are not successful because to their black skin or whatever reason. Before Nigerians started moving to Kenya, there has been known crimes in that country. Johannesburg, South Africa for example has the highest crime rate in the Whole of Africa with Crime Index: 80.8. Johannesburg is plagued by high crime rates.

Was the crime rate in Johannesburg done by Nigerians too?! Answer!

By your logic, Thor, Zeus, etc, all exist... Just because it is claimed to exist doesn't mean it's true. People say the earth is flat, doesn't make the claim valid.

They also believe Lucifer is a benevolent being, by your logic, it's true.

Can you go back & read what I wrote one more time, you surely did not understand based on this reply.

kkins25:
Yes, I was aware. if rituals do work, I assume you've made that conclusion from verifiable evidence? If so, how can I replicate it? Otherwise, your stance is one stemming from belief.

This is exactly my point, if you have evidence of Europeans having these convo talking about money spells on Reddit then what other evidence do you require. It would have made more sense to say "I do not believe anything magical exist because I'm an atheist". Then at that point there wouldn't need to go any further in this back & forth.

It means your disbelief stems from an opinion that there are no multi-dimensional forces of good and evil outside of the material world.

Gerrard59:
Point of correction, I did not say only Nigerians sell their bodies. I acknowledge that people elsewhere engage in sexual activities (which is biologically normal), but not at the rate of Nigerians or people who reside in poor countries. Nevertheless, my focus was on Nigerians not necessarily other groups. Those groups were used for comparison purposes.


Agreed, but the prevalence and belief system in Nigeria have led to the deaths of many people. I am all for demystifying it rather than acknowledging its existence even when in those societies, it is not rampant or a major belief system to becoming prosperous.


Just as not every employee can be the CEO or every fresher graduating with a first class, this is understandable. However, it should not be promoted or eulogised.

BTW, what about the links to BBC and the Economist? You had nothing to say about them?

Word for word - "Rituals don't make anyone rich. If so, many in the developed world and elsewhere would be doing it openly after all, it works. Some illegal/"immoral" ways to make money such as drug trafficking and prostitution exist elsewhere. So, how come rituals only exist in poor places? If it works, why are they not rich? Someone can trade drugs and become rich. Another can offer sexual services and become rich. These work in any part of the world. But how come rituals never work outside poverty zones?

Another illustration: a few years ago, there was news that the pants of young women were in high demand by yahoo boys and ritualists. Preferably they should be blood-stained. But the same yahoo boys are poor and wretched. However, in Japan, young girls package their used panties and sell them to stores where men age 40+ buy them to sniff as a sexual fetish. These girls make cool cash. If rituals made people rich, how come these Japanese men, some of whom are pensioners, not using them to become rich? Pensioner no like money ni? "

I had to quote what you wrote earlier because it seems we need an English-to-English translator. Participating in a ritual and not becoming rich doesn't make the ritual special. Additionally, no one is glorifying rituals. The main point of the discussion is whether rituals are real or not. The answer is yes.

Many high-profile individuals are involved in occult rituals. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist in affluent areas such as Maitama, Asokoro, Ikoyi, Lekki, and others. They are there.

BTW, what about the links to BBC and the Economist? You had nothing to say about them?

Human trafficking links on BBC is not a new thing, selling body parts have always been in vogue. The practice of selling body parts has persisted over the years, with allegations suggesting that some organs are used in replacement surgeries in certain Asian countries. The existence of an international organ market has been known for decades, dating back to cases such as that of Clifford Orji in Nigeria.
