So much for women

The earlier we women look before we leap especially when it comes to marriage, the better for us. Karl Marx once said that religion is the opium of the masses. Let me borrow Karl Marx quote and put it in my own way, thus it goes: Marriage is the opium of women.

It's so surprising that when a guy promise a girl marriage, you see once a sane girl loosing her sanity and become so stupid. She does thing as if she's being hypnotize hence you see them rush into marriage without caring to dig more about the guy before accepting his proposal few months you see them coming to complained bitterly, a great number of them endured so much, they can't speak out because of shame.

If I advise them, they say that I am bitter and jealous of them because I am yet to get married, like wtf. I would've been worried about marriage assuming there was a place God says that it's only those that marry that will make heaven, but inasmuch as God never said so, I am so save whether married or not.

Men also should be very careful with the type of women they walk down the aisle..If you get merged with Satan in form of a wife , you'll forever regret your action.

One of my pastors, when advising singles said, when you fall in love, wonders happen, but when you get married, you wonder what happened

Until we understand that logic, not emotion is important in the decision making process of choosing a life partner, we'll keep hearing funny stories because emotions are temporary.

budaatum:
One has to do the work and read some you see, instead of making things up in one's head which just happens to be easier.

Read? Please what do you think has been happening for a while now through the media?

Most of the echoes going on here are analysis of people's agenda. They say what they want, push it into the mainstream and force everyone to accept it or be labeled negatively.

Know this, WE ARE ALL IMPRESSIONABLE. The basis of your decision making emanates from the things you see, hear or read, this is what has been happening. So don't pump in what some folks said on Guardian and force me to accept it thst way when I also have other materials with different opinions.

I may tilt towards a political party, but I will never follow all they say or want because everyone is an extremist on certain issues.

budaatum:
We'll, the article I posted gave some historical data that might make some focus different.

I don't just read because guardian of CNN or whatever news outlets out there brought in their analysis to say what they want, I have my head to see by myself, especially now that their lies became stupidly open to everyone looking from outside.
My focal point in this discussion has been that Ukraine is being misled by the outright lies termed propaganda of the US and West allowed escalation up to this point and now innocents are dying due to it? When it comes to history on this topic, I will focus on that, but right now, please focus on the points I talked, because that is my own concern ay the moment. And I won't use CNN or Guardian and co as my only source, never! Not with what I've seen since this issue began. They are all liars, trying to condition people to think and reason like them, if not, they call them names.

My questions has been, what are the US and West doing to help stop the war?
They should either focus on helping diplomatically or engage Russian military in Ukraine since Zelensky called for help.
After all Russia came into Syria when Asad called for help from Putin.

Innocents are dying, properties and livelihood destroyed and still no help in diplomatic discussions or to come in and help them directly.

Britain is the worst in this war season, they talk tough but nothing to show, only shouting if Russia attack NATO. They should just come as a nation to fight with Russia personally.

sanpipita:
The idea Ukraine is being used to target Russia is terrible and not true, why do you people never see Ukraine as a sovereign nation that's also concerned about its own security, if you read back history you will see there's been decades of Russian hostilities against Ukraine, current war is just a continuation of the madness Russia has always orchestrated in Ukraine, Putin even described Ukraine as a fictional country, how do you reconcile all this and think Ukraine will put themselves up as a bait for west to target Russia

The truth is the truth, emotions notwithstanding. Ukraine was given advice by so called foreign powers on what to do and a promise of help which Zelensky has been begging for, why isn't it coming? And please don't add words to what i said by insinuating that we don't see Ukraine as a sovereign nation. If you can point that out in any of my comments so far please do.

The Ukrainian leaders should have known that the West and US only think about themselves when it comes to international politics.

budaatum:
You saying Putin fuqed up by letting them crush the Russian economy?

To understand the tragedy of this war, it is worth going back beyond the last few weeks and months, and even beyond Vladimir Putin
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/11/was-it-inevitable-a-short-history-of-russias-war-on-ukraine

In my opinion, He's wrong for attacking Ukraine, but my focus is not that, it is the fact that Ukraine is being used to further their aims, both the US, West and Russia.

Russia may be looking for a way to have confrontations with the West and the US, they got Ukraine to try their nonsense. The West and US on the other hand, played into it to get their aim which is to target the Russian economy.

Both sides have made Ukraine to suffer and instead of them to find a way to deescalate issues, they are lying outrightly, thereby, luring innocent people to come into Ukraine to die.
SMH

I hope the nonsense and outright lies being peddled as propagandas are enough to stop the killings of men who were deceived that Russian armies were dying in the hands of civilians?

Imagine a military base being destroyed by high precision missile strikes and lots of volunteers from other nations who were deceived by the media were destroyed. The worst is that Ukraine officials are downplaying the numbers just to gain faces. To them it doesn't matter, after all they came on their own even when they used the media to bait them.

And those who think the Russians are failing or slow do not know that their game plan has been to encircle Kyiv and cut them off from military assistance. Imagine outposts of weapons being attacked and razed. Their plan is that when they are through with destroying those external help, both in weapons and personnel, the main onslaught will begin at the capital.

And what are the so called fire throwers doing in this nonsensical killings and destructions going on? They are fanning the flames by lying much more through the media instead of either helping to stop the invasion through dialogue or war.

If the US and her allies cannot enter into the war to help Ukraine whose amateur president couldn't read history to understand how international politics work, they should just help fast track the dialogue and allow Ukraine have peace and time to rebuild their country.


The lies of avoiding world war 3 is as childish as it comes. If they truly want to avoid it, they wouldn't have escalated things to this extent.

The got what they've always wanted, that's to crush the Russian economy, now Ukraine seems to be the guinea pig.

None of them.

Russia and China will do worse

For you information, I don't hate Tinubu or anyone.

saphiere:
Why is it that no African leader is talking about this war?
Another reason men should give room for women to try it too.

There's a difference between nollywood and reality woman.

Power is never given but taken. If you women want to be in charge, I will support as long a you have something to offer, not through blackmails or emotionally designed theatrics.

Bring women with the ability to govern, and see sensible people support. Unfortunately, many of your kind will be the first to oppose that while the others are busy trying to find likes from their actions on social media.

Propaganda and Outright lies are two different things.
Outright lies will cause people to disbelieve your every report because they know you have a record of trying to spin issues to favour you. Propaganda in the other hand, has a mixture of truth and lies.

Imagine allowing Ukraine to be destroyed and then claim you are trying not to escalate issues beyond the country.

The Ukrainian president is just finding out that he's just a ♟ in the chessboard of international politics.

benalvino3:
You are everywhere.

Go back to my replies to you and see where I said they gave weapons to rebels to destroy the nation. I am not in support. One reason Trump is hated and Obama and Bush are pals. He does not destroy nations like they did.

They are supplying weapons to ukraine but it's too little too late.

I don't know where you are going or what your issues are. You said it was your opinion and I pointed the flawed logic in it.

First, how can you know where I am going when you never carefully read my opinion or comment with the view to understand me before you passed out your remark?

Now, you claim my opinion is flawed, yet you are the one who brought up different issues while you didn't answer my only question?

Why should I go to your comments to understand you when I was the originator of the issue I find in this war and you, the one trying to goad me into accepting your personal opinion?

Na wa.

Trump is like Putin, he doesn't trip me because he is also behaving like one who's broken inside with his remarks, and I don't care about Obama.

My opinion is that I pointed out the hypocrisy and the needless propagandas causing more more harm to Ukraine than it is helping them. How is this flawed?

I am not one who is ready to engage in needless arguments, not before, not now, not ever.

benalvino3:
No contradiction. Its not a directly fight between us and russia. Russia was more involved than us is. Russia uses war ships and jets. US only gave people minor weapons to fight. I don't see how that's a contradiction. If the US started giving the rebels air support and bombing Assad military base then him for lose asap

Like he lost before Russia got involved right?

Minors weapons... Now you are indicting the US, they gave minor weapons to untrained civilians and rebels against trained military personnel, isn't that evil in itself? ...and the US does not negotiate or operate with terrorists...Laughable. Or the terrorists are the only one they call terrorists abi? More hypocrisy.

How can you say you love someone but you are giving him minor weapons to fight with better trained, better equipped men? SMH

Like I said before the back and forth which will normally not lead us anywhere, why engage in baseless propagandas if you will not help Ukraine, by supplying weapons or military personnel then don't provoke the mad man to destroy them totally. Imagine the google map propaganda, shame...

Isn't that simple enough?

You were the one who digressed from my main question in the first place as it normally is here. Over here, it is to take people to your area of argument and drag the issue instead of answering or attending to the issue at first.


I do not support Putin, but my care for the innocent Ukrainians being used as slaughter rams for the amusement of certain people should be condemned in its entirety.

benalvino3:
The first casualty of war is truth. Those ladies are used as motivation.

The Russians were not successful against us in Syria. The US is not there to fight Assad, they are there to aid the rebels destroy the country. Assad invited russia as the president of the failed nation... Russia helped him fight the American backed militia and they won.

They are all wrong because russia and the US did not clash in syria.

Again, all the news says ukraine cannot stand russia" but they are putting up a fight.

We see videos of destroyed russia hardware and lives. Street fight is not easy.

How can you make two different opinions in one mention and not see that you contradict yourself?

The Russians were not successful against us in Syria. The US is not there to fight Assad, they are there to aid the rebels destroy the country. Assad invited russia as the president of the failed nation... Russia helped him fight the American backed militia and they won.


Please read the bolded from your mention and see how a US who were not there to fight Asad also went there to aid the rebels. How can you support rebels against a government and still not want him to lose? How do you make such comments if not to engage in needless arguments like it is here?

If the Russians helped Asad to defeat those backed by the US and allies, how did they not win since Asad was never removed?


Finally, I asked a question in my first quote.
"If the Ukrainians are winning the war against the Russians by destroying their hardware and killing thousands of their soldiers, why are we calling for the head of the mad man Putin since he's losing to civilians?

Like I said, I'm too busy to keep arguing over here, I have my day today and I am free to make my observations and opinion.

alphaNomega:
This war has nothing to do with ego. Putin needs a compliant Ukraine for Russia's economic and security stability

If not for his ego then why go in guns blazing?

Well, my topic of focus today is the hypocrisy and the lies being peddled in the form of propaganda

benalvino3:
Your opinion but it too flawed.

1 - In a war, you don't support who is winning or losing, you support who is morally right or the victim. By your logic, we should support nazi Germany when they started losing the war?

Not all news will be accurate in a time like this, Ukraine will want to make Russia look bad, Russia will want to makw ukrain look bad, China wants the west to look bad the west want the Russia to look bad. But you can tell the truth from propaganda. No one is saying Ukraine is winning, they are saying Ukraine is putting up fierce resistance.

2 - about the girls with guns, that's not propaganda, they are really picking up guns to fight... You haven't really been following the conflict. Those girls you see as some potential cheaters must have posted here may not be the ones carrying the guns, but girls like that are carrying guns, they didn't run instead stay to help make camouflage and support in anyway they can.

My opinion will always be too flawed in your eyes bro, I don't need to explain myself but to send you back to read and understand what I typed.

You agreed that those ladies in the propaganda pictures may be different.

I talked about the propaganda of how a single civilian is raping Russian trained military personnel.

I talked about how the same weak Russian military men who are being raped by a civilian were successful against the US and allied forces in Syria.

Can you please point out which of those listed above is wrong?

See? I talked about other things but you have crafted my words and recreated my opinion to compare me with how the Nazis operated.

I'm not in for the political back and forth going on here, I observe and say what I have discovered in my opinion.

Please, don't think or conclude for me, I have the right to say what my observations are.
You should tell meif my observations above are outrightly stupid or at least worth looking into, or we already want to live the lives of those controlled by what is being posted online.

Putin is a mad man for engaging in this useless war of ego, but the kind of stench from the western hypocrisy stinks through the galaxy. Shame on anyone trying to deny the hypocrisy being displayed daily because of affiliations.

Another madness worse than Putin's stupidity are the propagandas
They are in themselves like despicably terrible scripts designed by amateur scriptwriters in some movies by illiterates for their illiterate friends.

I refuse to, because of my anger against Putin believe every propaganda thrown into the media without thinking through, or at least doing some fact checking.

The google map propaganda is the worst of all, not to mention that a civilian has defeated Russian military personnel, (the same military men that stopped the US and allied forces in Syria that they failed to remove Asad a few years ago). Does that not show how elite their forces are? I mean the US and allied forces failed in their quest in Syria because they couldn't remove Asap.

The pictures of some ladies holding guns or others fighting without proof and other quotes are also laughable which makes me to ask this question, does the west really love Ukraine?

If they do, they'd not be posting lies just to paint a different picture of what is really going on. How do you expect to hold the mad man (Putin) responsible when Ukraine is "allegedly winning and annihilating the Russian military without weapons and Putin is getting his so called ass kicked"? SMH

There's a stage you get to wit propaganda but going this far on a daily shows the hate they have for Ukraine.

My opinion.

OlawaleBammie:
Instead make dem head to one ashawo corner go dey relax and flex their rubie, dem dey cry for more AKs

Putin is wrong for embarking in this war but this is one propaganda gone too far.

How is it that this same Putin and his army were able to defend and keep Asad of Syria after he was almost ousted by the west?

We should think please, not just swallowing everything that is being thrown at us from the media. These propagandas are actually helping Russians and more damaging to Ukraine.

That's how they've been sponsoring images from movies, games and from other nations as Ukrainians destroying Russian military, i mean the same Russian military units that bested the west in Syria by helping Asad to retain his position as president of Syria. Aren't these propagandas laughable?

Lawalemi:
You can go to CAS but you couldn't prevail on your President.

Nonsense and ingredient!

We blame others for labelling all Nigerians as fraudsters because of a few yahoo guys but we support the attack of all Russians because of a mad man who is not up to 5% of the population.

budaatum:
These days, what I see are presidents nominate judges they think can help their prosecutors win cases and to favour their administration (in case they get to the courts) even if what they are proposing is somewhat unpopular at the time.

I'm in fact impressed by their collective objectivity, after all, none of drumpthfp nominees have favour him yet.

Well, that's the essence of democracy isn't it?

AmazonTopaz:
So when did you become oblivious to the fact that American judges have judicial philosophies did you take this hard road when Justice Marshall who stood for civil rights and was a staunch advocate for it on the court was applying it to his rulings and how Thomas was a stark contrast and insult to that legacy when he replaced him? do you want to deny that Thomas has ruled against blacks and civil rights guaranteed to Americans by the constitution or the fact that he actively works with Roberts to kill the voting rights act that Thurgood Marshall and civil rights leaders fault fir don't feign ignorance here by coming to do whataboutism on my mentions or are you not aware that republiQans have always been against the voting rights act and civil rights for years Is it not a shame that a black man rules against such constitutionally guaranteed rights that he helped weaken as well ahd you think liberals and blacks in particular should not be annoyed with Thomas.

If there was anyone who politicised the court it was republiQans under Mcconnell that started it when they denied Merrick Garland a seat and gave a seat to Amy Coney Barrett 8 days to an election when they denied Merrick Garland same under that pretext of not confirming a nominee during an election year

"...feign ignorance here by coming to do whataboutism on my mentions..."

You are someone advocating for something you directly misrepresent with your comments in this forum whenever someone has an opposing view to yours.
Are you trying to claim that your opinion is always right and/or better than others who see things from different perspectives that you always come out with knives and other weaponized comments against them?

If you can't checkmate this attitude of yours by attacking others instead of engaging in proper discussions in a public forum full of anonymous people with different views, how can you accuse those Republicans of doing same when they have power?

You should work on your temperament, stop using emotions to operate in public discourse, it is never a good platform for maturity.

AmazonTopaz:
Ketanji Brown Jackson's admiration for Constance Baker motley the first black woman to be a federal judge made me emotional.

She will not betray Blacks like Clarence Thomas did she is the second black person nominated to the court.

Black America do not see Clarence Thomas as a part of them it was right for Ketanji to question him in 2007

Was Jackson nominated to favour/protect the blacks or to uphold the constitution of the United States of America?

I thought the judiciary in a democratic setting is there to interpret the laws (in fairness and without favour to anyone) that was established by the legislative and executive arms?

Now you see that the division in America is not from one one party alone but from everyone, including the populace and us supporting them from this distance.

These days, we see presidents nominate judges that can help their prosecutors win cases and to favour their administration (in case they get to the courts) even if what they are proposing is somewhat unpopular at the time.

If this is not the death preparation of the patriotism in America and democracy in general, then I wonder what it is.

armyofone:
The division is strong. I remember they used to say one must renounce their allegiance to their birth country to get citizenship or something like that.
I can't imagine it going this deep - Tucker Carlson supporting Russian govt against American govt - ummm. I don't know what happened but the division here is not good.

What happened to America the beautiful ?

It is a scary stuff but politics is still covering the minds of people to see the cracks are becoming something bigger than they'd be able to control afterwards.

What they don't know is that it will get to a stage where there's no turning back.

AmazonTopaz:
Thank to Trump and his friends for emboldening the far right and poisoning America with Trumpism.

The truth is that this expression of hate is not new, people already had those negativities in their minds, they only found a channel by which they could express them.

Right now, there's no patriotism in American politics, it's just a show of force between two parties with the single aim of countering each other's ideology even if it is good for the people.

Only one thing will unite America right now, a common enemy with the capacity to cause an existential threat to the nation, if not, there will be arguments and counter arguments between the parties and their supporters.

In all, the most powerful nations in the past all went down one way or the other, but the most pathetic of them has been those who fell due to internal politics.

AmazonTopaz:
The far right in America will help bring down America from within.

They are are having Americans do their work for them.They are embracing fascism by the day.

The truth is that America is divided, more now than ever or let me say the division is more pronounced right now.

Only one thing will change this, that is, if they all have a common enemy, but that is not possible right now.


Democracy may be coming to its end who knows.

benalvino3:
Unlike ukraine, Taiwan can actually inflict serious damage on china if they try to invade.

China don't even have a real capable air force.

But the west have messed up big time

I hope, but China may try, nobody knows.

This may be why they've been very careful since they talked about the invasion.

As for the west, they have actually messed up in all honesty. They shouldn't force people into living the kind of life they define for them.

How can you be friends with Saudi and also be condemning others for not being Democratic nations?

Hypocrisy it is if I may say.

budaatum:
I'm expecting to hear, China invades Taiwan, anytime soon.

They are watching as things unfold.

The truth is that China will invade sooner because Putin's move has emboldened them.

Will anyone try to stop them, I think not.

It will be a free ride for them.

BasedUsername:
If China takes Taiwan, we're pretty much screwed. China would corner the semiconductor market, making them the manufacturers of most of our electronics. With the growing prevalence and reliance on smart devices, IoT, and cloud services, digital security would be a nightmare. Even moreso than now.

For that reason, I don't believe America will let Taiwan fall. Strategically speaking, they can afford to lose Ukraine but not Taiwan.

Don't you think Putin and Xi's latest bromance is because of something like this?

How will the US come into the battle between China and Taiwan when it happens? Like, what would be their reason to defend Taiwan or attack Chinese troops?

This is a chess game, everyone is tired and poised for war.

This is something like a bone stuck stuck in our throats. No one is safe from what warmongers are planning, not even those of us who are faraway in Africa.

The funny thing is that it is inevitable. It's not a matter of if but when.

God help us all.

LordReed:
I somewhat concur. This might be a test of the US resolve on its international policies. If it won't intervene in Ukraine what would make it intervene in Taiwan or elsewhere for that matter?

I don't think US has any real strategic plans for Ukraine any more. I think they only wanted to prevent it from falling into Russian orbit, the goal of siting bases there might have been scrapped at some point.

As it stands, the best strategy is to try and deescalate issues as much as they can but I think it is past that already. The sanctions were factored in by Putin before he began this wilderness walk, he knew and would have predicted it, yet, he entered, which begs the question, why engage on such a wide scale of invasion knowing fully well that you'd be sanctioned massively?

The game just began, we will see China's move on Taiwan.

A multipolar world may look nice to others but deep down, the disadvantages far outweighs the advantages.

Putin's trump card is China and to an extent, Iran and North Korea.

I condemn his actions but there is a bigger game underneath the surface here.

Trump may have tried to curry favour with Putin by negotiating before it got to this stage, but at this stage, there's nothing he would have been able to do than to sanction Russia, which to me is speculative because he seemed cool with Putin.

There's a nation most of us are not focused on in this game of thrones, Turkey. Turkey is a NATO member but acts like an enemy from within. Erdogan may be having grudges against America due to sone attempted stuffs in the past, which makes it dicey for NATO.

I think Russia is just the face of some disgruntled people who are targeting uncle Sam. If America is not careful, there will be a real challenge when China decides to go against Taiwan.
It will be difficult to fight on two fronts if China decides to go berserk at this stage.


A time will come when sanctions won't do the right damage to intruders like Putin. China had to focus on their people alone to grow speedily before spreading their tentacles across the nations and continents.

I think we are moving into another era in history where we need these fightings to restart a new era of world peace (my opinion).

Shekarau faction should do the needful and align with Kwakwasiya movements, Abba Kabir-Yusuf is the next governor of the State according to oracle

Shekarau would rather work with Ganduje than with Kwankwaso. He hates him with passion, the reason for this deep rooted hatred is what I dont understand.

The truth still remains that both Ganduje, Shekarau, Kwankwaso and other politicians in Nigeria have nothing to offer. They are in it for their money.

Stop living in past glory, your club is useless, as in, done for.
No structure, no management, nothing, yet you troll a club with a better structure, coach and plans than you? I need to ask, which normal person does that?

A club that deeds the pets of their players, is that one a club?

My advice is for you to look at yourself and ask if you're not pained against a club that knows you not because your trolling points to two things, ignorance or foolishness.

Try to fix your team before you troll next time, at least it will be valid.
