So, what determines gender, please?

Testosterone and Oestrogen is sold in pharmacy as injectables.
Why dont you buy them and inject them into people aligning with the wrong gender and see whether that will change them.

olabrad:
If you are sane, you'll know that the only factors determining sex, gender and sexuality are hormones, according to medical physiology.

Testosterone makes you a man, gives you diick and makes you naturally desire the woman.

Estrogen makes you a woman, gives you a puzzy & budging breasts and makes you naturally desire a man.

In a man, the kidneys naturally destroys estrogen, ensuring a man doesn't desire a man. In a woman, the kidneys naturally destroy the androgens produced, thereby preventing a woman from having sexual desire for a woman.

If you as a man starts desiring a man sexually, then it means your body is functioning abnormally. That abnormality should never be encouraged but corrected. The same goes for a woman.

So, I repeat, stop being stupid and covering up for absurdity!!!

3-Sexuality-Who you prefer to have sex with.

PoliticsThe Margin Call Of Neo-colonialism: How The West Is Foreclosing On Nigeria. by malali(op): 10:27am On Apr 16, 2025
The West never stopped colonizing Africa. It simply changed its uniform,from soldiers to suits, and from muskets to margin calls.

Today, Nigeria is not just in debt.
Nigeria is in financial bondage, walking blindfolded into foreclosure.


Welcome to the Age of the Economic Hitman

John Perkins in “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” warned us decades ago:

“We are now empire-building through debt instead of guns.”

Here’s how it works:
1. The IMF or World Bank offers “help”—loans with smiley-faced conditions.
2. They overestimate project costs, ensuring Nigeria borrows more than needed.
3. The kickbacks are shared among the ruling elite. The masses get roads to nowhere.
4. When crude oil prices crash (conveniently, every election year), a margin call hits.
5. Suddenly we must repay these debts with more than we borrowed—with our oil, land, ports, and dignity.


The Game of Foreclosure

Debt is the bait. Crude oil price manipulation is the switch.
What they want is the entire Nigerian economy on a foreclosure platter:
• Airports? Collateral.
• Seaports? Already eyed.
• Sovereign mineral licenses? Next.
• Your children’s future? Sold off at auction in Brussels and D.C.

While we plant flowers in roundabouts funded by Eurobonds, they’re signing 100-year leases on your water tables.


Vigilance Is the Vaccine

Here’s how we break the cycle:
1. No more borrowing for “prestige projects”. If it doesn’t generate revenue or subsidize real human development (education, health, electricity), kill it.
2. Slash government bloating—we are running 36 mini-empires with governors who act like monarchs, not public servants.
3. Criminalize debt without ROI. Anyone signing foreign loan agreements without clear revenue-generation plans should face economic sabotage charges.
4. Educate the public: Every Nigerian needs to understand what an IMF conditionality means. Financial literacy isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s a national defense strategy.
5. Reject Trojan Horses: Infrastructure deals tied to debt must be scrutinized with teeth. The Chinese debt trap is real. The Western one is more subtle, but even more sinister.


Let’s Call It What It Is: Economic Warfare

We are not “developing”.
We are being recolonized through Excel spreadsheets and World Bank PowerPoints.

They aren’t “helping” us. They are harvesting us—our oil, our land, our future.

They’re playing chess.
We’re still playing ayo and cutting ribbons on highways built with borrowed blood money.





If we do not fight now—through awareness, discipline, and political courage—we will wake up one morning to find our nation sold in lots, with our children working as expatriate houseboys on land that used to be ours.

Let this serve as a national wake-up call.

Debt is no longer just a number.
In the hands of the West, it’s a weapon.


And we are the target.

BusinessRe: CBEX: Stop Promoting Ponzi Schemes, SEC Warns Influencers, Celebrities by malali: 10:12am On Apr 16, 2025
SonOfWords:
Any Nigerian who gets fleeced by a ponzi scheme most certainly deserves it!

Greed and foolishness is a dangerous combination for any human to have, and you cannot wake up everyday to blame the government for everything, as if the government is meant to use your brain for you.

Even in sane climes, no right thinking person gives consideration to money doubling schemes. Yet Nigerians have consistently proven to be too stupid to see beyond these lofty promises of easy wealth.

This same greedy mentality accounts for the monumental corruption that currently permeates all spheres of our societal existence.

And you chalking it down to poverty, is an insult to the sensibilities of this internet audience. Because there's absolutely no way you can bury ten thousand dollars (or naira) in a ponzi scheme and claim to be poor.
There are vulnerable people everywhere—scammers don’t discriminate by nationality. Even U.S. citizens fall victim to financial fraud, but what makes the difference is how their government responds.

Take Hushpuppi—when he swindled victims globally, the U.S. didn’t just issue warnings after the fact. They went after him, prosecuted him, and made an example out of him.


Now contrast that with CBEX—a platform that operated openly, with a registered office, under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). They weren’t in hiding. They existed in broad daylight. And yet, no proactive oversight was exercised.

If CBEX had folded in the shadows, it might be different. But they were registered, branded, and promoting freely. That means someone in government let it happen—either through incompetence or complicit silence.

Like it or not, the Nigerian government has a duty of care. Not just to warn after people are swindled—but to actively monitor, audit, and enforce penalties before the damage is done.


When regulators sleep on duty and victims wake up broke, it’s not just a scam—it’s systemic betrayal.

Oversight is not a favor.
It’s a constitutional responsibility.


These CBEX had bank accounts with KYC and AML. Why didnt the banks they were depositing the money raise alarm ?

TIll they start making tv, IT chips, cars, etc etc. for export...export.....they are just another resource dependent nation, hiding their cracks with a high revenue per person.
Wrong !!!
UAE has diversified to tourism, hotels,airlines,real estates. These are all significant contributors to their GDP.
So many countries don't manufacture the above and still prosper.
Abuja has only 1 Nicon trans corp 40 years later
Nigeria has no airlines 40 years later
Nigeria real estates is not sanitized enough for foreign investors, currency is not even stable for investors to be attracted
Nigeria's unresolved insecurity has stopped tourism. Are you aware Jos had the highest number of expatriates due to its favorable cold weather, mimicking winter. Now insecurity has pursued everyone away.

You can keep making excuses or wake up and smell the coffee. Nigeria's managers are inept and corrupt.

It is largely because we run an oil dependent country. Had we run a industrial and diversifed economy, we won't be in this mess

But Nigeria, and most African countries, chose to run resource dependent economies, largely because most people were poor and taxing them would have created discord, and also developing an industrial economy means a long period of suffering pro max. before seeing the benefits.

SO, we got to do what china did, and make stuff the world needs. Being resource dependent makes one vulnerable to loans.
They are looting the money. Dubai developed from a resource dependent economy. As of 16/04/2025, they are still looting the money right now.
PoliticsRe: Trump’s Erratic Policies Responsible For Fall In Crude Oil Price – NMDPRA by malali: 9:34am On Apr 16, 2025
nairalanda1:
1. We take loans because we do not control the price of the resources we sell. And when there is an increase in the production of the resources we sell, prices fall all over....to the point that loans and SAP May be necessary.

Like oil. in the 1970's OPEC produced most of the world's oil. Today, not up to one third. Everyone has discovered oil that there is a glut in the market. That is why it has been a very long time and why we will never see oil reach 140 dollars per barrel or more.

2. Nigeria needed oil to be at 75 per barrel , and even then we had to take a loan, to fund our budget. Meanwhile our fiscal breakeven was oil price at 130 dollars per barrel. Oil forms 80% of our government revenue...tax revenue is even a joke. So, we have to take loans.

3. Anyone who thinks a nation of 230 million can survive on revenue from 1.8 m bpd....better think again. That money is not enough...thus we have to take more loans

4. Western governments don't like giving us loans. Their people complain that their hard earned money is going to non-citizens. People feel like they are being cheated.

Until we do what China, Japan , Germany, and other countries did and make stuff the world needs, we are always going to be in need of loans. When we make stuff the world needs, we control the prices, and we earn far more revenue.

We are a unwise nation for relying only on oil.
When a country borrows—especially in foreign currency—it’s not just taking a loan, it’s stepping into a leveraged trap.

And with leverage comes the danger of a margin call.

Here’s the breakdown:

When the value of what you bought with the loan starts dropping (like crude oil),
And your income source to repay that loan (like exports) also drops…
Then your creditor doesn’t just ask for interest—they come for everything.

You’re not just at risk of default…
You’re at risk of losing assets you fully owned before you even took the loan.

That’s the real game being played with Nigeria by international loan sharks.


They lend to you when oil is up.
Then they collude to crash oil prices,
And when you can’t pay back, they make you sell off your assets, refineries, airports, sovereignty—cheap.

It’s not just debt. It’s debt with a kill switch.

This is what happened to Sri Lanka. It’s what’s being rehearsed in Nigeria.
BusinessRe: CBEX: Stop Promoting Ponzi Schemes, SEC Warns Influencers, Celebrities by malali: 9:20am On Apr 16, 2025
Once again, the government arrives late to the crime scene—after citizens have been financially violated—only to issue warnings and threats to celebrities. The CBEX crash didn’t happen in one day. There were months of social media ads, fake testimonials, and high-profile endorsements.

Where were the EFCC, SEC intelligence arms, the Central Bank, and fintech watchdogs when Nigerians were pouring billions into these traps?

Regulation is not reaction. Regulation is protection.


If oversight agencies only flex their muscles after the public is scammed, then the system isn’t regulatory—it’s ceremonial. And now, they want to scapegoat celebrities and media influencers as the problem?

Let’s ask it plainly:

Are celebrities and media influencers running the country now?

When the government refuses to:
• Proactively flag suspicious investment schemes,
• Mandate ad disclosure and digital audit trails, and
• Enforce public accountability BEFORE people are swindled,


Then you can’t turn around and wag your finger at desperate Nigerians trying to survive by promoting “opportunities.”

Yes, influencers should be more ethical—but they are not policymakers.
They didn’t authorize these fake firms.
They didn’t allow CBEX to run TV ads.
They didn’t sit on the sidelines while the app hit a million downloads.

Poverty has become a tool, and opportunists are weaponizing it daily.

What Nigeria needs is:
• Proactive surveillance teams tracking high-risk fintech apps,
• Fast-response bans on suspicious investment sites, and
• Direct SMS alerts to Nigerians about red-flag companies.
PoliticsRe: Trump’s Erratic Policies Responsible For Fall In Crude Oil Price – NMDPRA by malali: 9:07am On Apr 16, 2025
Let’s stop pretending.

The West sold us overpriced loans, wrapped them in the packaging of “development,” and sat back smiling while we bit the bait. But here’s the catch—they control the global levers: currency valuation, oil pricing, IMF strings, and credit ratings.

Now? They’ve pulled the oldest trick in the playbook:

Crash the very commodity we rely on to repay the debt—oil.


So here we are:
• If we pay in crude, we now need to hand them double the barrels just to match dollar value.
• If we pay in cash, we’re paying back loans with weakened currencies at higher interest rates.
• And guess who controls both the oil benchmarks and the financial institutions? The same gang who wrote the loan terms.


This is not bad luck, it’s strategic. It’s chess. And we’re still playing draft.

Every move has been designed to ensure they win on both ends:
1. High-priced loans at dollar-denominated interest.
2. Crashed commodity prices so we drown trying to pay it back.


This is economic double harvesting.
This is neo-colonialism in a digital suit.
This is financial imperialism disguised as “free trade.”

They have modernized slavery—not with chains, but with spreadsheets.

And yet, African leaders show up smiling at summits and photo-ops with the very architects of our poverty. What they don’t realize is: we’re not guests at the table—we’re on the menu.
InvestmentRe: 27 Investors ‘hospitalised’ Over CBEX Trading Platform Crash In Oyo by malali: 9:00am On Apr 16, 2025
Any individual or organization promising returns above 5% monthly should immediately raise suspicion. In normal, legitimate markets,such yields are unsustainable and statistically improbable without extreme risk or hidden agendas.

If someone offers returns above 10% and they’re not the federal government issuing official bonds or treasuries, you’re likely dealing with a fraudster or a Ponzi-scheme operator.

It is the duty of the Nigerian government to:
Flag and investigate unauthorized investment entities
Issue clear, consistent public warnings
Educate citizens on realistic return expectations
Crack down on predators weaponizing economic desperation

This is not just a “mistake” or “bad luck.” People have lost entire life savings.
Retirees. Students. Single mothers. Breadwinners.
Lives have been shattered because of unchecked financial predators.

Daniel Bwala is not a public servant,he’s a rented megaphone for the highest bidder, a legal chameleon who changes party colors faster than a Lagos traffic light changes to red.

Once preaching sermons for Atiku, he now sings hymns at Tinubu’s altar, proving his loyalty is only as firm as his last retainer. Far from being an adviser, he is a syllable vendor, a pay-to-bark political mascot weaponizing big grammar to disguise shallow arguments. He accuses others of nepotism while dancing for a regime that hired him not for his brilliance, but for his talent in spinning fiction as policy.

Bwala has no ideological spine, only survival instincts fine-tuned for the dirtiest corridors of political patronage. His latest attacks on Senator Ndume are not born of conviction but of desperation, a diversion tactic to justify his relevance as the regime’s court jester. He is a walking contradiction, a masterclass in performative hypocrisy, and a tragic reminder of how low the bar has fallen for political commentary in Nigeria. If opportunism had a face and ego had a lawyer, it would be Daniel Bwala, defender of anything, as long as the price is right.

PoliticsRe: Chief Magistrate George voluntarily retires over Quasi-Military rule in Rivers by malali: 5:32pm On Apr 14, 2025
Vice Admiral Ibas Must Go To Jail — For Democracy’s Sake

Rivers State is not a military garrison. Nigeria is not a war theatre. And Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas is not above the law.

His appointment as “Sole Administrator” of Rivers State by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—after the reckless declaration of emergency rule—is the most brazen assault on Nigeria’s constitutional democracy since the Abacha era.

Ibas was not appointed to provide logistical support in a crisis. No—he was gifted absolute power over the entire state. He rules by decree, not by vote.
Since taking control, he has:
• Suspended elected officials
• Installed political loyalists
• Overridden courts and ministries
• Gutted the legislative structure

This is not governance. It’s treasonous theater.


THE RECEIVER OF STOLEN POWER

Ibas is not the thief of Rivers’ mandate—but he is the receiver of stolen goods. And in every just legal system, the receiver is as guilty as the thief.

To continue in power is to cement his role in a coup-by-legality, aiding and abetting those who are dismantling Nigerian democracy brick by brick.


THE CASE AGAINST IBAS

He must be charged and tried for:
• Unlawful assumption of executive powers
• Suppression of democratic institutions
• Complicity in unconstitutional activities
• Treason by proxy

Let the courts deliver a clear message:
No military man—retired or active—will ever again be permitted to usurp civilian authority without severe consequences.


DEMOCRACY MUST NOT BE JUST A SLOGAN

What is happening in Rivers State is not a “rescue mission.” It’s a federal overreach dressed up as national security.

We demand:
1. Immediate suspension of Ibas’ sole administrator role
2. Reinstatement of the duly elected Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his executive council
3. Full judicial probe into the legality of emergency declarations in a peacetime democracy
4. Criminal proceedings against all collaborators in this constitutional breach

Let’s stop pretending.

After over a decade, it’s clear the so-called Boko Haram insurgency has no ideological spine left. What remains is a bleeding machine — draining Nigeria’s treasury, enriching middlemen, and fueling a dark economy of fake counterterrorism.


Ask yourself — how does an insurgency with no political manifesto, no centralized command, and no vision for power still operate effectively and endlessly?

Because it’s no longer about war. It’s about funding.


Billions in “security” allocations vanish every year. The IDP camps never empty. The military “clears” one town only for it to be “re-attacked” a week later. Arms contracts go unchecked. And the cycle continues.

Enough is enough.

The people of Borno and the Northeast deserve more than to be pawns in this horror script. Let them go back to farming, livestock production, and rebuilding industries devastated by artificial war. Divert those billions to irrigation, solar cattle hubs, trade infrastructure.

I’m shocked no major investigative outlet has gone undercover to expose this farce. Where is BBC Africa Eye? Where is Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit?


We don’t need another military press release. We need hidden cameras in procurement offices. We need whistleblowers. We need truth.
