Iran cannot win this battle. Never. And Israel too knows that they cannot easily win Iran after fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorists in the past months. So, it can only be US plus Israel.

And the main issue which I have written before is that America isn't hit directly. That's it. If America can be hit back to back, then, we can have a serious discussion.

You might think it's only about using long range missiles. Lol. That cost of such is too much. So, the way to win a war is flying drones and war planes in and out of the battle zone. You want to take the war to the US, fly armed drones and war planes in and out of the US too. And how can you do that when you don't have military bases near the US. Lol.

The US knows the strategy. There is no military bases close to the US. You cannot have such. Never. But the US has such all round the world. Is it possible for Russia, China, or Ukraine to have military basses in Mexico and Canada. Then maritime borders: Russia, Bahamas, Cuba, the UK Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. Lastly, and Dominican Republic. In all these areas, you cannot have such military bases, except Russia that is also their enemy. And Alaska is very far from DC. Lol.

How exactly did the US have these bases? So, you think the US is a father Xmas giving away free gifts via UN programs? They donate here and there na. So, they ask you for a military bases to e en protect you...and that is it. They captured middle east during the gulf war.

When you think you are stingy like the Chinese who only wants to give out loans with interest, then, you should know that stingy people don't get so powerful. Lets say the Chinese and Russians started artificial intelligence, do you think we will all have almost free information and educational resources to study it? Never? They will hide it. Lol. So, who will give such nations military bases? Lol.

So, before you can take away the world power from the US, you must be ready to be more generous. And it can happen only if you have more money than the US.

Like I wrote in my past posts, I do not see the US leaving the world power seat in out generation. They will keep ruling for at least the next 50 to 100 years.

This post deserves 1000 likes. However, we have unintelligent people on Nairaland that won't appreciate detailed posts like these.

But if it is to like yansh and breast post, they will rush to like them.

Well written. Once again, this deserves a thousand likes.

You didn't answer the question, show me someone that failed in life because of soapy and also show me who succeeded in life because he doesn't soapy.

Ogbeni feel free to indulge in it, nobody is asking you to stop.

When someone wants to justify their bad habits, they start asking unnecessary questions. You're free to file your brokus. No wonder many of you have erectityle dysfunction.

Too much soapy don almost finish una.

Mattswaggz:
More baseless talks.... that's why I prefer to avoid y'all overzealous religious extremists.

So now sexual lifestyle and orientation is now the benchmark for good parenting right?. .

What else can be more debasing than this if sexual immorality and uncontrollable fleshly sexual addiction is not bad way of life?

Go about fvcking around and stimulating yourself sexually and tell yourself there is nothing wrong in that cuz you want to fullfil your chronic addiction.

Put your fleshly desires under control and stop glorifying them. Don't be a slave to your body.

Sexual depravity is self affliction not enjoyment. Call a spade a spade. Tell yourself the truth. The truth is staring right on your face.

There is no reason to justify masturbation just for your selfish reason.

Mattswaggz:
Provided they have the needed sets skills to overcome psychologically and physically....their sexual life is non of my concern provided they are adults.

The society is bad because many parents have failed in their roles. That's why we have wayward children all over the places.

As a parent or future parent, it's your role to raise your children in good morals. But from the look of things, you no send.

Reason for many parental neglects in our society cuz many parents have failed in their roles as parents in the proper upbringing of their children.

Mattswaggz:
Who are you to decide what's "wayward lifestyle" and what's not?.....are u guys okay at all. .

When you born your children tell them to masturbate and fvck around as that's a good thing. How about that?

bigpriik:
Show me one person soapy spoil him life, just one

Don't justify your wrong doings cuz you choose to do it till eternity and refuse to change.

Whatever you cannot control, you will be a slave to the thing.

Most of you lack self control. Masturbate your life away brother. It's your birth right.

Mattswaggz:
Stop believing d*mb superstition..... masturbation ooo, sex oooo are natural phenomenon and no evidence that suggests they bring bad luck to anyone....what they're saying only exist in their heads.

In a bid just to justify wayward lifestyle, you won't ever accept the true reality of things.

Do whatever works for you, but don't forget, sweet things dey purge belle. One day one day monkey go go market, he no go return o.

I remember one day I was sitting in the parlour and I dosed off in a fews seconds. I saw a kind of unseen creature that unimaginable. I saw it struck something but I could do nothing about it. All because I don't know who I am or what I could do to it. However I prayed against it when I woke up.


Sometimes it could be about someone. I could see the person driving through a rough tunnel as if it was a drive through. With a detailed kind of suffering in the person's face, I will also see fear. All in a split of seconds. I could also see that person's leg got caught up somewhere and failing to move from that spot. All this stuffs just come.like that. And I have absolutely no idea what to do.

I only pray sometimes for the person without the Person even knowing about it.

But you don't seem to believe in God Almighty. So, who did you pray to in this your write up? Just wondering.

When you fear death no more and you know you are doing the right thing, no amount of intimidations will scare you.

pipnator00:
All these weapon sales, shebi na to kill person. I tire!

Life has no value any more. Whatever good you can offer to others, do it cuz non of us will carry anything to the grave when the time comes.

Stay away from evil and keep your hands clean, you will be a fulfilled man even in this dieing evil world.

JASONjnr:
The US I stayed doesn't have good drinkable water.... I don't know why you feel the need to compare Nigeria, a developing country to an already developed countries.

But then, if you keep running away and rejoicing about it, who will fix the country for you to return to?

Some of you guys lie too much.

saysugar:
Biggest help i can beg of anyone is take me out of this country nigeria!!! omoh that person really made me after God!

You're waiting for who will take you out of this country? Omo fight for your life o. I don't advise having such mindset.

Life na per head 🗣️

The problem with helping friends and extended relations is that, once you help once, twice, three times, just know that they will keep coming back for more and you will keep helping and helping and helping. They won't take their lives serious cuz they know you will always help.

They will open bank on your head and you will be their regular 🏧 card.

Even if you don't have, and you voice out that you don't have, they will never believe you because they've made it a habit that you will always give them at your own detriment when they ask.

As for me, I don't know how to beg even if hunger wants to finish me. It's not my thing.

Some people make begging their birthrights. That's the problem. You have something little, and you choose to share it with a friend or a relation voluntarily. Not that you have in abundance.

But because you did it voluntarily, they will assume you have in abundance and will come back instantly and start billing you for something else they will use money to solve. Haba! Is it not just now I sent you money? Let's have some conscience.

muyico:
So Jesus Christ allow killing??
Worldly problem is caused by US, and they calling themselves Christian country

You will be fine brother.

Chygozdegreat:
thanks I appreciate alot

If I will recommend for you, I will say relocate to either Uyo, Calabar or Port Harcourt.

Arostar2023:
Kai! This is painful. See how people just wasted their lives for jihad.

They have been seriously brainwashed, even the ones in Nigeria.

Don't mind them my brother. We that know what's going on won't fall for those beriberi brain washing of no place like home.

We know what's up and non of us that has sense will fall for those discouragements. Not in this 21st century.

madridguy:
The Nigeria Bar Association should withdraw his certificate for believing in juju. Nothing like juju according to people that goes to school

The tototists sympathiser how far?

Where are the sympathisers? Just in case you all need some 20 litres of gallons to cry on, feel free to reach out.

Madridguy how far? How are you feeling right now. Please, somebody should check on the guy.

WriterrNg:

Wetin stop you from joining US forces and deploying to Iran?

Islam or Christian, Buddhism or idols worshiper, which one do you belong?

AfonjaPriest:
I am not happy what US is doing to Iran.
Anyway sha, US must pay likewise.

Te%r%orists are ki%lling your people in Nigeria brother. Sympathise with those before this. How about that?

DoctorAyukebot:
You sound pained and angry and defeated..Lol

Are you not seeing the name Zina? Once you are Muslimenia, you are expected to sympathise with terrorists irrespective of their wrong doings.

Hope una see say nothing dey this life? If you like continue in your evil ways.

But just know that you will never carry this world along to your grave when you finally die.

Live an upright life and stop all your wrong doings now that you still have the chance.

Can you believe that I don't even know what it means all this while? I never even made an attempt to find out.

You do well OP.

Hoodrat:
The marginalisation of the Babalawo did not occur by accident. It emerged from layered historical, cultural, and psychological transformations that reshaped society over generations.

1. Colonisation Deliberately Delegitimised Indigenous Authority

European missionaries and colonial administrators recognised a fundamental truth: spiritual systems are central to social organisation. Undermining indigenous belief structures would destabilise the broader civilisation.

Consequently, traditional systems such as Ifá, Orisa traditions, ancestral rites, herbal knowledge, and divination practices were systematically discredited. These were not treated as alternative worldviews but were instead labelled “pagan,” evil,” primitive,” or “superstitious.

This campaign was less about theology and more about governance and control. Once the Babalawo lost legitimacy, communities lost a central pillar of intellectual, moral, and spiritual guidance.

2. Missionaries Replaced Traditional Custodians with Foreign Clergy

Prior to colonial intervention, Babalawo occupied multifaceted roles within society. They were not merely spiritual figures but also functioned as judges, historians, healers, philosophers, and advisers to rulers.

Missionary institutions introduced new religious authorities priests, pastors, and catechists who gradually supplanted indigenous custodians. Over time, loyalty shifted away from ancestral institutions toward foreign religious structures.

This transition altered not only spiritual allegiance but also cultural identity and social hierarchy.

3. Western Education Fostered Cultural Shame

Colonial education systems amplified this transformation by reshaping how younger generations perceived their heritage. Children were frequently taught that their ancestors were idol worshippers, that their culture was “backward,” and that their spiritual traditions were demonic.

The consequences were profound. Such narratives cultivated generational self-rejection and cultural alienation. A society conditioned to distrust or disdain its roots inevitably weakens its connection to indigenous knowledge systems.

A people distanced from their heritage struggle to sustain confidence in their own intellectual and spiritual traditions.

The neglect of the Babalawo is best understood not as simple abandonment but as the outcome of deliberate historical processes political, religious, and educational that restructured authority, belief, and identity.

Understanding this history is essential for any meaningful reflection on cultural continuity, restoration, or reinterpretation.

Amazing write up. Quite educative. 👍
