But again, what if he is innocent? Has he been proven guilty? The reason questions like these are asked is to forestall destroying the innocent by giving them media trial.

Foreign AffairsRe: World Reacts To US Attacks On Iran by Melkizedeck: 8:31pm On Jun 22, 2025
*WHAT WOULD AFRICA DO IF A NUCLEAR WAR BROKE OUThuh*

Africa is not a nuclear power. It does not sit at the UN Security Council’s high table. It holds no deterrent warheads and fields no intercontinental ballistic missiles. Yet, in the event of a nuclear war between global powers, Africa would not be spared.
Africa’s greatest risk in the event of a nuclear crisis is not being struck but being swept aside. Africa’s vulnerability in a nuclear crisis does not stem from participation in global rivalries but from exclusion.
Africa is part of a global order it didn’t create. As the world’s most powerful nations edge closer to confrontation, between the United States and China, NATO and Russia, Israel and Iran, the threat of nuclear conflict is no longer distant theory.
Africa has no seat where the world’s defining decisions are made. While global actors debate the consequential course of history, the continent is left watching from the sidelines, fully aware that it will have to live with the consequences yet never invited to shape them.
This is not mere absence. It is exclusion from decisions that could alter its future without warning, without consultation, and without consent. Its absence from the table does not grant protection. It only deepens the risk that Africa will be left to face the consequences of choices made elsewhere, without influence, without preparation, and without recourse. But absence is not insulation.
Africa will feel the consequences, not in headlines or diplomatic communiques, but in lived realities. It will not enter the conflict as a combatant, yet it will bear the cost as a bystander drawn into the storm, with no say and no shield. The true danger is not the blast itself but being unprepared for the collapse that follows, unheard in the decisions that matter, and forced to carry the weight of a crisis it did not create and cannot control. Not as a target, but as a casualty of a system in collapse.
Africa’s distance from global flashpoints offers no real protection. The continent’s greatest vulnerability is not missiles but the quiet spread of foreign control. Through time, access, and silence, external powers have redrawn Africa’s security map, building bases in the Horn, taking control of key ports from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Guinea, and deploying surveillance networks across the Sahel.
What began as presence has solidified into permanent influence. These structures are now embedded in Africa’s security architecture, but the power behind them lies elsewhere. Decisions are made without consultation, and control has shifted without consent.
The footprint is wide, and the influence deeper than it appears. What was once framed as partnership now reflects entrenched external control over Africa’s most strategic spaces. What may once have been framed as cooperation now reflects a deeper reality: foreign control embedded in critical corridors of African security. What began as partnerships has quietly evolved into a persistent presence, shaping the security landscape without African command or consent.
In a world sliding toward confrontation, these footholds will not remain passive outposts. They will become active staging grounds, serving external interests while eroding Africa’s autonomy. What were once presented as partnerships risk becoming instruments of power projection, without consultation and without consent.
African airspace, territory, and coastal waters risk becoming logistics corridors and intelligence theaters in wars it did not choose. In such a moment, African states may not be asked for permission. Their silence and institutional weakness will be interpreted as consent.
The economic fallout of a nuclear standoff would be just as devastating. Africa’s economies are tied into global markets but lack the sovereign buffers wealthier nations enjoy. Trade would stall, insurance would freeze, and financial systems would spiral. When global markets break, it’s the weakest who feel it first—and hardest.
Currencies would collapse, prices would surge, and governments without a strong production base would find themselves exposed. In countries dependent on imported fuel, medicine, and fertilizer, everything would slow to a crawl.
Investors would disappear, donor funds would dry up, and what follows would not be negotiation; it would be desperation. Leaders, boxed in by crisis, may be forced to trade away land, resources, or control of strategic assets just to keep the lights on. This time, recolonization wouldn’t arrive with gunboats, but with bailout terms and military logistics dressed as humanitarian assistance.
The real nightmare wouldn’t be the blast. It would be what comes after. Africa wouldn’t need to be anywhere near a nuclear strike to feel its impact. Fires burning in distant cities would send smoke into the upper atmosphere, darkening the skies and disrupt global climate patterns. Rain would vanish. Temperatures would fall. Crops would fail. And on a continent where millions depend on rain-fed agriculture, that silence from the sky wouldn’t be a pause.
It would be a death sentence. In regions already living on the edge, where every harvest is uncertain, famine would spread, not because the land failed but because distant wars stole the rain. Hunger would arrive slowly but decisively, without a single bomb falling on African soil.
A shock like that never stays contained. It spreads quickly, breaking what’s already fragile and shaking institutions barely holding on. In places strained by conflict and weak leadership, the center would collapse fast. When families go without food, fuel, or medicine, unrest follows. The state doesn’t fall. It disintegrates. And in that vacuum, someone always arrives, armed, assertive, and ready to take control under the banner of restoring order. They don’t arrive with fanfare but under the banner of peacekeeping or aid.
Without a clear strategy or the capacity to act, Africa would face quiet occupation. Sovereignty would be traded away, piece by piece, until survival starts to look like surrender.
What makes all of this more dangerous is the silence. Africa is not preparing for any of it. It has been kept out of the conversations that matter, absent from the places where war and peace are shaped. No one is building buffers.
No one is sounding the alarm. And if nothing changes, the continent won’t just be left to pick up the pieces. It will be forced to live in the ruins of decisions it had no part in making. The greatest threat to Africa is not nuclear attack but strategic irrelevance. That’s exactly why the response must be clear-eyed, immediate, and rooted in a shared African purpose.
The continent doesn’t have the luxury of waiting for the world to fix itself. It has to start preparing now, on its own terms. It must begin to rely on its own strength. That means growing its food, manufacturing what it uses, powering its homes and industries without depending on others, and securing its place in the digital age with systems it controls.
Real resilience starts from within. It requires intelligence coordination and early warning systems that can track global escalation and translate it into local preparedness. It demands a unified continental voice that asserts Africa’s right to be heard in global security negotiations, not out of charity but out of necessity.
The African Union must position itself not as an observer of global order but as a stakeholder with a mandate to defend the future of over 1.4 billion people.
This is the strategic bottom line. In the Nuclear Age, silence is surrender. Africa cannot afford to be the world’s collateral damage. It must become the architect of its own security.
The time to prepare is not after the war begins. It is now, before the first siren sounds, before the first supply chain snaps, and before the world discovers once again that the weakest in the system are always the first to fall.

Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Warns If Iran Attacks, ‘full Strength’ Of US Military Will ‘come Down’ by Melkizedeck: 9:40pm On Jun 15, 2025
Dogalmighty17:
Iran had 3 seperate teams design and test out designs for a nuclear implosion device. This necessitated the urgency of Israeli attacks.

Iran's primary uranium enrichment facilities are buried 70 meters deep under huge mountains. Israel does not have the aircraft or the specialized GBU 57A/B Massive ordnance penetrator that is needed to reach targets that deep. This 13,500kg bomb is only owned by the US and can only be carried by the US owned B52 or B2 spirit bombers.

Which is why Israel is begging for the US to get involved. Interesting times are ahead.
Even US war analysts have doubted whether the Massive ordinance penetrator will do the much needed damage to the underground nuclear enrichment site like the Fordow site. The facility was designed to be like an underwater fortress. The US would not want to get embarrassed if the bomb fails!
Foreign AffairsRe: Complete Destruction:Israelis Describe Fear,Chaos As Iran’s Missiles Smash Homes by Melkizedeck: 9:39pm On Jun 14, 2025
Kusu12:
The Iranian attack was ineffective when compared to Israel's, which took out top military figures and damaged Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Israel was surgical and strategic, while Iran just fired off missiles without a plan. Honestly, if Israel had chosen to hit back in the same careless way, Iran’s civilians and infrastructure would’ve faced devastating consequences.
I am pro-Israel but pls let's be objective here.
Comparing the two attacks is a little flawed; Israel attacked an Unprepared Iran while Iran responded to a prepared Israel!

Take a cue from October 7, Hamas attacked an Unprepared Israel and killed so much and abducted so much which was the first ever in modern history of Israel!
When you're taken by surprise you may lose so much that the fight might be just over even before it starts!

If they keep trading conventional missiles, it will be a pyrrhic victory for both sides; (Israel is smaller in landmass while Iran has no bomb shelters!)

One funny thing about a war; everyone knows how it starts but cannot predict its end!!!

I don't know how some of U all see Iran.
Why don't you ask yourself why the US have been maintaining restraint for years and haven't never attacked IRAN?
If Israel is still fighting Hamas despite US Weapons for since 2023 and still hasn't been able to fully decimate Gaza. Fighting Civilians.
Is it IRAN that is well Armed and can shoot missiles that may need Israel and US Air defenses that U all are saying will be defeated easily?
I pity Igbos.
Pls I'm against your last statement of saying you pity Igbos.
Firstly every objective Igbo people are going about their businesses and have no connection to whatsoever is happening in the far away land of Israel and Iran!
Only stupid and loudmouth Igbos are talking Thrash which does not represent in any way the general opinion of the great Igbo race!

Majority of us maybe pro-Israel but we will not fail to call wrong wrong!!

You don't go into a man's house and kill him as if everything is alright except he must have done you wrong by killing you first in some way!

I am typing this because this was how some lousy Igbos talked carelessly in 1966 immediately after the bloody coup that caused a reprisal attack on their civilian population living in the North at the time.

Since the start of this fight, I am yet to see other tribes chestbeat or take sides except some foolish Igbos here. It is better we stay quiet and watch events unfold! I will caution any Igbo that doesn't know how to talk in public to desist from talking nonsense here. Don't use your foolishness to cause harm to other people please!

This is why the law should be made to give the kids of broken homes to their real fathers and not leave them with the woman. In most cases the women are careless and stupid and will end up destroying the lives of the children. Enough of these Western culture stuff.

CelebritiesRe: Davido Sues Sophia Momodu For Imade’s Custody by Melkizedeck: 5:29pm On Jun 20, 2024
tosyne2much:
Davido can't win this

No court would grant Davido the custody of a child that is still a minor when the mother is still alive

The only exception that would make the court grant Davido the custody of the child is if the mother is mentally incapacitated or has some other defects such as drug abuse
I don't believe he won't win the case....
He is NOT asking for SOLE custody but Joint/shared custody.
He will definitely win with the following points...
1) That DNA proves he is the father of the child
2) That he takes care of the child's needs as a father
3) That he can protect the child from avoidable harm
4)That he is mentally stable to be with the said child
.....Just as the court will not ask wether the mother is a prostitute or giving the baby substandard lifestyle, they will not care wether he is a globetrotter as long as he fulfils the above criteria!
Remember that the final aim of the court is to give the child a better life!!!

Just as you cannot take away the mother of a child from the child, so also is the father. They share 50/50 DNA.

Things have changed. Women should be very careful who and how they open their legs!
PoliticsRe: Heineken Lokpobiri: FG Unaware Dangote Imports Crude From US by Melkizedeck: 8:07am On May 24, 2024
Those of you who defend Dangote's importation of crude should have their heads examined!

The problem here is that, no one has been able to counter them with superior argument.

Initially, it was a taboo for any individual in Nigeria to build and operate a refinery as it was seen as one of government's choke hold. It was infact seen as a matter of national security!

Finally Dangote came and broke that barrier and the government of the day hailed the move as an economic saver. We Nigerians waited, yet the naira kept plunging.
Crude is to Nigeria, what high-tech is to the United States; Elon Musk cannot just chose to sell his technology anywhere just because he is a business man and should find anywhere cheaper to do business!!! He is bounded by laws of the country in which he lives.
National security is at stake if this continues!

FamilyRe: How Can He Take Custody Of His Son by Melkizedeck: 4:13pm On May 07, 2024
We should have our own laws in this 21st century that suits our own climes and not that of the Western countries!!!
Those guys are way civilised than us. In countries like the USA, I can understand why babies are to be left with their mothers.
In Nigeria, it has been proven time and again that poorer single mothers are an untold danger to their babies!!! Nigerian courts that have no law for paternity fraud will not do anything if that woman kills her baby by carelessness!!!
If a woman can abort her babies without blinking, then be rest assured she can abandon her children to the unknown just to satisfy her sexual wants!
The reason most Nigerian women are this stupid is because the law seems to favour them unconditionally.
OP, fight for your child like you'd fight for your life! If you cannot protect your child now no matter the circumstances then that baby won't forgive you spiritually!
Make everyone standing in your way understand that you're ready to take laws into your hands should anything happen to your child.(Except you were at fault and nature is punishing you). Fight for your baby so that your babies unborn will scramble to come meet you effortlessly!
Besides, Nigeria should create a law that forces both parents to cohabit and nurture their babies until a certain age. By the time they suffer and sacrifice their freedom for this, a whole lot will think before venturing into it or leaving. This current arrangement of being with the mother while the father and mother are separated isn't working!
