The US military is the greatest coward on Earth. The Nigerian female falcons football team can defeat the American military in combat. American military supremacy is a myth brought to you by Rambo Hollywood movies

Do you know it was never American required government to protect Afghans? They only try to help. And since they discovered that the people themselves were ok with it, what else do you want? It is not a battle lost, it is a respect of sovereignty.

I don't know why US just became a subject of attacks. It was all trial and error all the while. And where did Fani get his data of trillion dollars? I think Fani is stupid, he doesn't judge situation with his brain.

Sometimes I just feel like These games
Are scripted , take a look at city's substitutes .. why is Pep keeping them

He kept them so that when they win, people would praise him that he beat Tottenham with certain players. He needs to know this is not pre-season. Every point counts.

Relationship is sweet when it is, it is the other way when it is too. What matters most is your happiness and sanity. Don't go outside your boundaries for the sake of making someone happy or hurting anyone. At the end of the day, it is you. When you become unhappy or lose your sanity, the person will leave. It will only take sometimes for the person to get over it. You just have to do do what you have to do.

[color=olive]I wonder how or why the picture you painted is caused by religion/the church though...?[/color]

Some parents believe they have done the best by bringing a child to the world and the child should face 'suevival of the fittest'. Some believe the little the have, they must tithe so God can bless them more not knowing that their hard-earned money pay the GOs' children school fees. As he explained, the issue is complicated. Imagine the church you pay to is the same children of the pastors that will employ your children as maids. Where is God here. It is purely Friday system.

Anyway, Happy Osun-Osogbo festival

Happy festival. I am missing it for the first time in my life. I am not happy missing it.

Righteousness2:
Very very well!
There is clean wealth that comes with Clean Honest dealings.
You don't need to do evil to be rich. That is a wicked lie from the Pit of Hell.

The fact about life is Everyone has a mission to accomplish on Earth. Until you are able to discover what you are created to do on Earth, you will keep wandering and wishing.

Life is not by Struggle. Life is a Gift From GOD. Discover what GOD Created you to do here. That is where your Profit Lies.

For the first time. That means you still have hope. Why can't you reason like this everyday?

"At Kigali in Rwanda". God dey.

"In May 2020, Lucien Kabuga, an 86 years old Rwandan fugitive was captured in France. Kabuga had been a fugitive for 26 years. He had been sought by Interpol, FBI, the international crimes tribunal, the Rwanda government and an international union of bounty hunters. Two years earlier, the US state department had placed a 5 million dollars reward on his head.

Kabuga is being tried for crimes against humanity because of the role he played in the Rwandan genocide.

However, Kabuga might not have lifted a machete or hoe in the horror of Rwanda, but as one one of Rwanda’s richest men, Kabuga’s radio station RTLM, led the propaganda that daily fed hate to his fellow ethnic Hutus, acting as a catalyst for the Rwanda Genocide.

The two major items on the hands of the Interahamwe, the Hutu killer militia, was always a small transistor radio and a machete. While the radios guided the killer gangs around the country , identifying Tutsis, over 500,000 machetes imported into the country by Kabuga and a few Hutu elites, chopped down ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus like a bunch of trees.

Visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial is such an introspecting experience which I think every African statesman, politician or aspiring leader should have.

The Kigali genocide memorial, is actually the burial site of 250,000 people. It was built to honour the dead, preserve the history of the genocide against the tutsis and is seen as a symbol of ‘NEVER AGAIN’.

If you want to imagine 250,000 dead bodies , just imagine seeing 10 corpses lying dead. Then imagine 50,100, then 1000, then 250,000. If you lie them down side by side on a football pitch to fill every space on a pitch, you will need the space of 60 football pitches to lay the dead.

This burial site is just one of the various burial sites in Rwanda that served as permanent resting places for the remains of the victims of the genocide.

When I experienced the Kigali Genocide memorial with a group of friends in 2016, one thing we noticed was that, we couldn’t talk for almost 10 minutes when we walked out of the memorial through the exit. The experience actually leaves you speechless.

The children’s memorial had intimate details and life size photographs of the deceased children, their names , favourite toys , their schools, the manner in which they were killed, then some of their dead small skulls lying beside a few of their belongings.

As you walk through the labyrinth of history with the informative audio and virtual reality gadgets, you will hear the stories , the recorded cries of victims begging not to be killed, tales from survivors, while the entire maze is filled with relics of the genocide, from one foot shoes of running victims to their cracked skulls at times with the killer weapons still embedded right through the skull .

I’m sure many people do not know that the Hutus and Tutsi are the same people. Same culture, same language and same ethnic group. The only thing that separated them was that the Hutus were farmers while the Tutsis were cattle herders. This was the major basis which the Belgians used in differentiating them and issuing them with identify cards.

How come hatred grew so much that they managed to break world record for the fastest and most effective killing in human history?

Of all the deaths that occurred during America’s wars from 1990( Operation Desert storm) to 2018( War against ISIS), including all the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and over 70 countries where the USA fought their war on terror, with the most effective military hardware, over a 28 year period. Military historians put the total deaths, including civilian and military casualties to about 500,000.

The Atomic bombs that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki recorded about 200,000 deaths which the entire world still considers as most horrendous. But ethnic Hutus managed to effectively kill one million of their Tutsi brothers and moderate Hutus in less than 100 days.

The kill rate must have been like 10,000 per day.

Not with any weapons of mass destruction, no tanks , no air crafts or sub machine hellfire guns, but with machetes, hoes, stone’s and any make shift that can be turned into a killing instrument. This is how powerful hate can be.

For hundred days, the Hutu propaganda radios kept shouting that the graves are not full enough, urging on the killings of the Tutsis whom they referred to as Cockroaches.

Ironically the Hutus make up about 85% of the country, they had the Presidency and other key offices then, but somehow, they kept believing and spreading stories that these cow herders were going to conquer them.
The fear was so morbid that every Tutsi, including a woman or child was seen as an enemy and potential conquerer.

You might have read several literature about the Rwanda 1990 genocide, but a visit to the Kigali memorial will knock you off your feet and teach you that long time hatred and propaganda can turn humans into little bits of satan the devil. It will immediately bring you out of any ethnicity and usher you into the race of humanity.

The beauty of the Rwandan story is that the civil war victors, Tutsi rebels that ended the war, did not gloat or carry out reprisal killings , but they had a visionary leadership who stepped in to unify the country despite the fact that they suffered the genocide.

Asked if she was Hutu or Tutsi, a Rwandese friends eyes popped open with shock and her voice became low as if afraid . “We are all Rwandans, we don’t have Hutu or Tutsi. We don’t talk about it and we don’t know it” she said making sure that nobody else heard her.

Rising out of that ashes of death and hate, Rwanda today is the pride of Africa .

Crime rate is almost zero and the city is the cleanest in africa. While other african countries are still varying files in government offices, Rwanda is using drones to deliver medicine to rural areas.

While neighboring Congo and Burundi are still ruled by who owns more AK47s, Rwandese are coming out monthly alongside their President, legislatures and all government officials to do Umuganda, a community works exercise where everyone is entitled to physically work for their environment.

While African giants like Nigeria is still struggling with generators , Rwanda is extracting Methane Gas under water from Lake Kivu and turning it into Electricity.

While we are still carrying dusty files in our civil service and bribing public servants , Rwanda has implemented full technology where you can go online and do every public service needed, leading the Smart Africa alliance and of course this has led them to the top, in ease of doing business in Africa.

But ironically, we have a similar history with Rwanda, with the result looking like the opposite.

In the early hours of 15th January 1966, a young Kaduna born Major of Igbo parenthood, led some officers to kill over 20 people which included the then Prime Minister of Nigeria in an attempted coup.

The events of this action led to a vicious pogrom against many innocent Igbos whose crime was that they were from the same ethnicity as the parents of the coup leader.

The pogroms and resultant rebellion by south east leaders led to a vicious 30 month unnecessary and vicious civil war which killed millions of Nigeria and destroyed lots of properties.

Looking back now, one can just imagine how irresponsible and immature the leaders of that era were, not to have prevented that war. They were like little kids with expensive toys. That was how leadership was to them.

But in both scenarios , profiling played a dangerous role, and it’s unfortunate that while Rwanda has risen from the ashes of that stupidity to say never again ,Nigeria is still dancing around the precipice of an ethnic instigated insurrection.

Nigerians are still pigeon holed according to their ethnicity or the god they worship. We are still hearing irresponsible infantile statements like ‘all igbo should leave the north and all Fulani should leave the west’.

Ethnic and Religious profiling is still on the rise, and it’s unfortunate to hear leading religious leaders like Sheik Gumi come out to class Muslim soldiers as non-criminals while the non muslims are responsible for what he calls ‘criminality ‘ against bandits. (I still don’t understand how a soldier commits a crime against a bandit)

Nigeria is not only in dire need of the leadership to provide critical infrastructure, but a leadership that will belong to everyone and belong to no one. A leadership whose body language and actions will be free of nepotism and division. A leadership that will diffuse the gunpowder which the country is sitting upon"

Beautiful piece.

This is not a story. Majority of people did and even worse.

No be every motor dey need Jack. Na d reason why Oyinbo hide am for emergency. If your car dey kqmpe, you fit no see your jack for 5 years. For me, I never need am. I rep d Blues

This is sad. Very sad

This is why Police officers in good countries will never come into your car. They are taking you, not your car. So you come into their vehicles.

kyari sud hire malami

I swear � I can't stop laughing. Thanks for making my day. Malami can't represent someone in Ghana now to talk of US. Someone that is only known in NBA. He is not recognized in international Law domain. That's why he has to show off because of inferiority.

FBI that jailed for governor of Illinois for 12 years even being an attorney. Attorneys go jail here in the US. But lawyers go chop so dem go advise am. But with evidence, bros go visit Hush puppy for that side.

Why argue with him? His money, his collections. If he lies to himself, his problem.

my dear u re not alone...I've been there nd back nd I know how it feels like...
I battled severe trams addiction for 5 years...throughout my uni days...it wz js terrible....at a point I wz doing 800mg nd above of trams every single day...infact I stopped attending lectures..I do just hole up in my apartment..do trams nd doze all day...
I was acting weird...always agressive...ghosted everyone both family and friends...infact it was just me nd my darling t.m.
Then during dt great lockdown...my biz wz affected... so I holed up at home..then I said 2 myself.."I've had enough of this drug shit"...why not achieve something during ds frustrating lockdown by conquering this addiction demon?...
so I started fighting the demon nd it was a very painful nd long journey back 2 recovery....4 more than 6 months...I felt like dieing...d withdrawal phase was js terrible...d chills..d muscle spasms..d fever..d body pains...d mood swings (extreme highs and lows)..d anxiety... d Restlessness nd worse of em all...d insomnia(sleeplessness)...
so I used Diazepam(Valium) 4 d 1st 6 months 2 help ease d withdrawal symptoms a bit.
Then when I wanted 2 quit Valium after 6 months..I found out dt my system av gotten dependent on it as well...so it was back 2 square one ...Nd to my worst nightmare I found out soon enough dt d withdrawal symptoms of diazepam (benzodiazepines) is even far worse than that of tramadol (opiods)...it was js terrible..better imagined than experienced..
This time around I felt like I was completely loosing it...But lucky me...I discovered that alcohol can also act as a sedative just like diazepam so I used Alcohol for 3 months 2 ease d withdrawal symptoms of diazepam (pls run away 4rm any drug of d benzodiazepine family)....
2 cut d long story short...today I've been drug free for 8 months nd counting now..nd I ant going back 2 dt shit again...
so my dear u can do it.. just believe in urself.. tell urself dt u re stronger than that addiction...then fight d battle of recovery and remember not 2 rush it...Js take it one step at a time...u get closer 2 recovery wit each passing day as ur brain recalibrates itself back 2 it's pre-addiction state..find other hobbies 2 keep ur mind away from d drug(s)...if I can do it dear...then u can do it as well
Shalom....

You have said it all and you spoke my mind. Though mine wasn't tramadol, it was heavy alcohol. Then suddenly I decided to stop. Guy, withdrawal is worst than addiction. I can't forget in my life; I was ay the airport in NJ that year, standing to board and this seizure happened. I woke up after 36 hours in hospital bed with stitches all over my face. I got home and after a week, I received the hospital bill, as high as it was, I determined that all the alcohol money will be going to the bill payment installments. It took me two years to pay off and since then, I too like water. Even Fanta is now expensive to me.
But CandidLady, it is hard, buy attainable. It is all about will and choice. I wish you the best. And talk more to people that have gone through the route.

Hushpuppi made his first court appearance today and FBI accused him of trying to fraud a premier league team £100m. And some said it must be Arsenal because their defense is weak.

It is a disgrace to Nigeria that this guy once headed what is called Intelligence Unit. I wonder what other serious nations will be saying about our security architect.

Coming up

I said it. The best thing that can happen to Nigeria is to split. We don't have anything in common except the flag.

FatimaAbubakar:
Buhari and his stupid cabal members are a big disgrace to we northerners! They keep embarrassing us in the north. Buhari is a colossal failure and a bunch of mistake
He will surely get his reward from Allah

Are you sure you grew up in the north? Because your perspective is different and making think there are still people of intelligence up north. Honestly, no insult , just observation.
