Richard Nixon na the 37th President of the United States, and he rule from 1969 to 1974. Him regime get many up and down, but two major things make am popular for history:
The Vietnam War & Wahala for Home: America dey fight long war for Vietnam, and that war dey swallow money like water. This one make America get heavy financial problem (inflation).
Atlantic Council
The Watergate Scandal: This na the big configuration of wiretapping and wire-cheating scheme where Nixon people go spy on the opposition party. When the matter burst, instead of make dem comot am by force (impeachment), Nixon resign by himself for August 1974.

But the biggest thing wey him do for economy na wetin change how the whole world dey use money till today.
How Petrodollar Take Start: The "Nixon Shock"
Before 1971, the world dey run on one system wey dem dey call Bretton Woods System. For this system, the US dollar dey tied to real Gold. Meaning, if you carry $35 go give US government, dem must give you one ounce of real gold. Because of this one, every country build their hope on US dollar as the world reserve currency.
Everything Everywhere

But as Vietnam war dey chop money, America kon print dollars pass the quantity of gold wey dem keep for vault. Other countries like France kon dey suspect America; dem start to pack their dollars return back to America, dey demand their real gold.
Everything Everywhere
The Move
On August 15, 1971, Nixon do wetin dem dey call "The Nixon Shock". He come out for television tell the whole world say: "From today, we no dey exchange dollar for gold again!" Just like that, the dollar stop to be money backed by gold; e kon turn to paper money wey fit float anyhow based on trust.

The Birth of the Petrodollar (Black Gold)
Since gold no dey back dollar again, the value of dollar start to crash. To make matters worse, for 1973, Arab oil countries under OPEC vex for America because America support Israel for one war (Yom Kippur War). The Arab countries kon stop to sell oil to America and their allies (Oil Embargo). Oil price jump up four times higher, long queue show face for fuel stations for US, and inflation tear everywhere.

Nixon and him Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, kon reason say: "If gold no fit back our dollar again, make we use Black Gold (Crude Oil) back am!"

For 1974, America send their Treasury Secretary, William Simon, go Saudi Arabia. Dem sit down sign one secret/heavy agreement:
In Gold We Trust
The Deal: America tell Saudi Arabia say, "We go dey give you heavy military protection, sell best weapons to you, and make sure say your Royal Family (House of Saud) remain for power forever."

The Condition: Saudi Arabia must do two things:
Sell all their crude oil strictly in US Dollars only.
Sandstone assets management

Take the extra profit (excess dollars) buy US Government Bonds (meaning dem go loan the money back to America to get interest).
Everything Everywhere

This arrangement na wetin dem dey call Petrodollar Recycling. By 1975, because Saudi Arabia na the king of OPEC, all other oil-producing countries join the pattern.

The Magic for America: Since every country for world need oil to power their factories and cars, and oil can only be bought with dollars, every single country was forced to hustle, look for, and keep US dollars. This one give America the power to print money anyhow without crashing.

Initial Rejects and Objections
The thing no just slide smoothly like that. Many people and countries standardly talk say the move no pure:

Group/Country Why Dem Object
European Allies (France, Germany, etc.) European countries shock bad when Nixon cancel the gold standard without telling them. Dem complain say America just dey use "Monetary Imperialism" force the rest of the world to pay for America's local debts and war costs.
Some OPEC Members Iraq, Iran, and Libya initially no too swallow the pill easily. Dem feel say America dey use style hijack their resource leverage. Later on in history, leaders like Saddam Hussein (Iraq) and Muammar Gaddafi (Libya) try to shift from selling oil in dollars to Euros or Gold Dinar, but America handle them heavily.
Local Critics inside US Some economists and politicians for America warn say this deal means US must always involve inside Middle East politics, whether e good or bad, just to protect the dollar.
So, na so Nixon take transform US Dollar from money backed by physical gold inside vault, to money backed by the oil wey dey pump from the ground for Middle East.

This is why we urge you to embrace that western education that your brothers, BH boys, call haram. Again, the North Korean nuclear weapons are meant strictly for deterrence and it’s very obvious from their actions.
You will never see North Korean people chanting “death to America” or “death to South Korea” because their religion (Buddhism ) doesn’t preach violence against anybody, not even the unbelievers but same can’t be said of some other ppl.
So why not?, why are you saying our world isn’t safe in the hands of such a lovely people?
I feel safer with nukes in the hands of Buddhists, Christians, Jews or even Hindus than in the hands of the Iranians who are already chanting deaths to others even now that they don’t have the capability🤣🤣
Again, the North Korean’s religion doesn’t preach extremism!
Isaac newton's third law of motion
To every action there is equal and opposite reaction
Death to Americans, I go just wake up for morning dey shout death to American not possible
It's either Americans has done something to me first then I go reciprocate
You only hear death to Americans from Americans,
Where did you hear death to American from all American leaders mouth,
Na so Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi ( c. 1942 – 20 October 2011) may his gentle soul rest in peace
Then say he shouted death to Americans
Haha from Africa you dey shout death to Americans
Benjamin natayenhu said he has nuke
President Clinton said he has nuke
Bush Jr said he has nuke grin
Country when get 300b$ for him central bank, doing well in economy
You called him dictator to hell with all of you
U must be a fool to believe how Clinton wife Hilary said they came and saw him dead by himself, he killed himself what fool are we
We saw the video how NATO and his own people killed him, CNN BBC called him dictator, yes he was a dictator by who Americans
Nonsense so Gaddafi was a dictator grin thank God he was a dictator, thank you Jesus he was a dictator
Wow what a dictator, it's nice to be a dictator
Go ask very well how libya be before ask if Gaddafi dey life now even Paris, London or I am not sure no state in Europe will be quantify to that state
Country when get 300$b as at 1996 as sovereign wealth fund
Ona dey crase

U say Iraq get nuke then u are still crazy again,
2026 u tear Obama deal and come back say Iran get nuke, and they are a dictator then u are crazy times ten raise to power 50
Your madness is beyond reasonable understanding
So who is a dictator?
Na who u call dictator go be dictator
U put suni Muslim minority dey rule Shai majority grin king
Lol and that is democracy
Iran don't have king
All the useless Gulf countries have king suni u are not in Iran so u will not tell what's going on there, only Iranians we tell me that their supreme leader is a dictator not you here in Ogun State, imagine Iran citizens lecture you about prof wole grin

Joshcoli:
Your post aged like milk.

You started with "America has entered one chance." Yet the reality is that Iran has lost senior military commanders, IRGC officers, nuclear scientists, strategic facilities, missile infrastructure, air defense systems, and key military assets. That's not the profile of a country comfortably winning a war.

You keep talking about America's defeat while Iran has been spending most of its time trying to replace what has already been destroyed.

You speak as though Iran has America on its knees. Where? Show us.

You predicted the UN would beg Iran to leave America alone. Instead, Iran has been struggling to protect its own strategic assets from repeated strikes.

You boast that "air power has never won a war," yet Iran's air defenses have repeatedly been penetrated. When your skies are no longer yours, your speeches don't intercept missiles.

The funniest part is your confidence. Every sentence begins with certainty and ends without evidence.

"America will collapse."
"Iran will get nukes."
"The petrodollar will end."
"The UN will beg Iran."
"America will be incapacitated."

Not one of those is an established fact. They're simply wishes masquerading as analysis.

Nobody is saying America is invincible or that Iran is weak. But pretending Iran has been "dominating" this conflict after suffering severe military and strategic losses is like watching your house burn down and declaring victory because your neighbor also smelled smoke.

This isn't geopolitical analysis. It's emotional cheerleading.

Next time, separate what you hope will happen from what has actually happened. Reality doesn't bend to ideology.
U talk like a baby
Military leader! Military general, he nor dey finish, na assassination ooo oga
When Dem assassinate JFK wetin Americans do
When Dem assassinate Abraham Lincoln wetin happen
You do assassination and could not invade what's the reason for the killing? U kill without reason that u want a regime change grin change Dem nor give u, market u don already buy , who u won sell the market too

U wanted a regime change,
U came with the idea that they have nuke
U say u go bomb a whole civilization
U say Dem kill their own citizens
U say Dem be terrorists
Who is fool and who should listen to you
I stay in Nigeria I will be the one to tell trump wike is a member of vikings confraternity not trump to tell me, na me dey Nigeria, I know wike well, not you to define terrorists for me
Okay fine, if you say Iran is a terrorists state, why sending guns to the Kurdish to instigate protest in Iran, USA made guns was seized
So Mr professor of geopolitics na me send the guns from Nigeria go Iran , na wike send am, then u are blurred.....
O ye foolish Galatians who has bewitched you
CNN BBC aljazera who dey control am
Who me ?
Same western media saying Ukraine is winning
Go vacation on Ukraine if Ukraine is winning
My cousin in Nigeria dey go do master for Russian
And Russian is losing grin
If USA is winning the war why is trump coming out to say he will bomb Iran if they don't negotiate
U dey win and u one bomb again
Winners don't beg, winners make the decision, and have all the card
USA is losing don't be fool
Go read that book the art of war u go understand say
U taking the war to the enemy u spend more in food, energy, time, and u are at the place of disadvantage
Your energy is *2
U pay to run energy in the water
And tax payer money is the one doing it,
If the war is long, your soldiers cry and become tired..... That's the psychology of war
War is not what you see in the book
For Petro dollar
In the 50s,60s oga go check nothing like Petro dollar
Na president Nixon's and some Americans initially started it, anybody and fucking country in earth when get crude can come together and stop it
Nothing special about world reserve currency..... If Africa decide tonight to stop the dollar and use china yuan nothing happen, rain nor go fall for 1 year if they decide.so stop fooling around like USA is almighty

Well, this is why they say education is never a waste. The North Korea’s nuclear program is highly understandable and justified. It’s meant for deterrence and that’s exactly the purpose it’s serving.
The country poses zero existential threat to humanity because they aren’t fanatics who believe that killing others who don’t believe is a religious obligation. Unlike Iran and Islam, The North Koreans are Buddhists who pose zero threat to humanity. A Buddhist doesn’t care whatever religion you choose to practice. He doesn’t have the religious indoctrination of exterminating or dominating others. That’s the clear difference, my friend. Just try to get yourself educated.
Education is very necessary
I thought u are wise
Trying to avoid the main question,north Korea's does not pose threat to humanity grin
U be really baby for geopolitics go check Asia news, china news and why Americans put many USA base surrounding North Korea, u be really pikin can't argue with you, u be baby, small boy for international politics

Divorce is tough, and achieving massive wealth or fame doesn’t shield someone from the heavy emotional toll when a marriage breaks down. Several highly successful men have openly shared how painful their separations were, admitting to deep regrets about what went wrong and what they lost.

Here are a few prominent examples of successful men who faced major personal struggles during their marriages, went through painful divorces, and have publicly expressed deep regret:

1. Ben Affleck
The Struggle & Divorce: Affleck’s marriage to actress Jennifer Garner ended in 2015 after a decade together, fueled in part by his public struggles with alcohol addiction.
Us Weekly

The Regret: In a remarkably candid interview with The New York Times, Affleck stated plainly that his divorce was "the biggest regret of my life." He opened up about the heavy weight of shame that comes with a collapsed marriage and the pain of seeing the impact on his children.
Us Weekly

2. Shaquille O’Neal
The Struggle & Divorce: The NBA legend was married to Shaunie Nelson from 2002 to 2011. Despite his massive career success, his personal life fell apart due to his own infidelity and admitted lack of maturity.
WatchMojo

The Regret: Years later, Shaq took full accountability for the split on The Pivot Podcast, calling himself "greedy" and admitting, "It was all me." He has expressed deep remorse for not valuing his family when he had it, calling his years with his ex-wife and kids the happiest days of his life.
WatchMojo

3. Bill Gates
The Struggle & Divorce: As one of the wealthiest people in the world, Gates shocked many when he and Melinda French Gates announced their divorce in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
Us Weekly

The Regret: In a 2025 interview with The Times of London, Gates looked back on the painful breakdown of his long-term partnership, explicitly calling the divorce "the mistake I most regret." He described the entire experience as incredibly miserable.
WatchMojo

4. Will Smith
The Struggle & Divorce: Long before his high-profile marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith was married to Sheree Zampino, divorcing in 1995 after just three years.

The Regret: Smith has described the ending of that first marriage as the ultimate low point of his personal life. On an episode of Red Table Talk, he admitted, "Divorce was the worst thing in my adult life, divorce was the ultimate failure for me." He recalled the intense emotional pain of breaking up the family unit while his first son was only two years old.

5. Gavin Rossdale
The Struggle & Divorce: The rock musician and frontman of Bush was married to pop icon Gwen Stefani for 13 years before they split in 2015 amid intense media scrutiny.
Us Weekly

The Regret: Rossdale later revealed to Fabulous magazine that the divorce was "completely opposite to what I wanted." He reflected on how agonizing the process was, stating, "Apart from death, I think divorce is one of the hardest, most painful things to go through."

Common Themes in Men's Divorce Regrets
Psychological studies and personal accounts from men who regret their divorces often point to the same core realizations once the dust settles:

Underestimating the Value of Shared History: Realizing too late that a long-term partner who stuck through the early, difficult years cannot easily be replaced.
The Modest Man

The "Greener Grass" Fallacy: Thinking that freedom or a new relationship will bring instant happiness, only to find that dating again is exhausting and lacks deep connection.
The Modest Man

The Reality of Loneliness: The quietness of a fractured home, missing daily family routines, and realizing how much they relied on their wife's emotional support.
The Modest Man

No am talking about, the divorce that the women instigated and the men regret marrying

Got it—you’re specifically talking about situations where the woman was the one who decided to leave or file for divorce, and the man was left feeling blindsided, going through intense personal or financial turmoil, and deeply regretting that the marriage happened or ended the way it did.

When a wife instigates a high-profile divorce, the emotional and financial shockwaves for the man can be massive. Here are prominent, real-world examples of highly successful men who went through exactly that:

1. Dr. Dre (Andre Young)
How it Happened: In 2020, his wife of 24 years, Nicole Young, filed for divorce. The multi-millionaire music mogul was reportedly caught completely off guard.
South China Morning Post

The Turmoil & Regret: The divorce quickly devolved into one of the most toxic, messy, and expensive battles in Hollywood history. Nicole accused him of abuse, and Dre fought fiercely to protect his assets using a 1996 prenuptial agreement, which her lawyers argued he had forced her to sign. The stress was immense—Dre even suffered a brain aneurysm during the proceedings. In the end, he was forced to pay out a staggering $100 million settlement. While he tried to celebrate being "divorced AF" online afterward, sources close to him noted he deeply regretted how the relationship ended up stripping a fifth of his total fortune and tearing his family apart.

2. Bill Gates
How it Happened: In 2021, Melinda French Gates formally initiated the divorce after 27 years of marriage. She later revealed that she separated from him first to process things in private before making the full decision to end it, stating there came a point where "I realized it wasn't healthy and I couldn't trust what we had".
The Independent
+ 1

The Turmoil & Regret: Bill Gates did not want the marriage to end and went through a long, miserable period of grief. Reflecting on it publicly, Gates called the divorce "the mistake I most regret" and openly admitted that the entire process of losing his wife and fracturing their daily family dynamic was completely miserable.
The Independent

3. Elvis Presley
How it Happened: Priscilla Presley ultimately filed for divorce from the King of Rock and Roll in 1972. She later explained that she didn't leave because she didn't love him, but because his lifestyle, inner circle, and the relentless pressures of his fame made it impossible to have a normal life.
Dailymotion

The Turmoil & Regret: The divorce was a devastating blow from which Elvis reportedly never fully recovered. He went through severe emotional turmoil, and his health and drug dependency rapidly declined in the years following the split. Up until his death, he deeply regretted losing her and the stable family life they could have had.
Dailymotion

4. Gavin Rossdale
How it Happened: Pop star Gwen Stefani filed for divorce from the rock musician in 2015 after 13 years of marriage amid massive media scrutiny regarding infidelity rumors.

The Turmoil & Regret: Rossdale faced intense public backlash and went through an incredibly dark personal period. He openly admitted that the divorce was "completely opposite to what I wanted" and expressed deep regret over the breakdown of the family structure for his children, calling the separation one of the most painful experiences of his life, second only to death.

5. Slash (Saul Hudson)
How it Happened: The legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist was married to Perla Ferrar for 13 years. She initially filed for divorce in 2010, they reconciled, but she officially filed again in 2014, leading to a prolonged, multi-year legal battle.

The Turmoil & Regret: Because they did not have a prenuptial agreement, the divorce dragged out for years and cost Slash millions of dollars in real estate, cash, and future album rights. Slash went through significant stress trying to finalize the split, later expressing deep regret over how vulnerable he left himself financially and how bitter the relationship turned.

If you know the shege Elon is going through. You will see such relationships and run. One of his babymama is always online spilling all his secrets anytime shes angry. Then he has to enter into many agreements before seeing those many children. One child is trans and constantly tormenting him on his platform. A useless lifestyle like baby daddy is never worth it. Thats just the richest man in the world. The others are going through prime shege but they wont tell you or lie to you so they can have company in their misery.
If you see the shege bill game went through
Jeff bezos yo go pity them nor be small tin oo
