PoliticsRe: Troops Repel ISWAP Attack On Military Base In Borno by optimusprime2(m): 4:32pm On Dec 14, 2025
The mere fact that such a terrorist group exists and freely operates in Nigeria is a testament on its own to the sufferings of a certain group of Nigerians.

God1000:
Israel really tried to erase these people from world map, but they didn't succeed, they underestimated Palestinians, only God can destroy a nation
If Israel really wanted to do what you are trying to simulate, then there would have been no students in the first place to return to school, Gaza would have been completely empty.

The fact that students could return means Israel were after something else.

I was just about to say this is a regular profile that has been unnecessarily inflated.

No Academic portfolio
No State profile to show his diplomatic evolution

PoliticsRe: Joe Igbokwe On Wike Vs Lt. Yerima: The Young Officer Has No Respect by optimusprime2(m): 12:02pm On Nov 12, 2025
HgAkpobomeEr:
The soldier should have been more civil in his approach.
Your statement itself is a conundrum, how can the military act civil... are they civilians?

I understand we are in the era of democracy but don't forget, the military, civilians or "civilized settings" do not go hand in hand. Soldiers are supposed to follow orders to the last punctuation.

If you lived through the military administration in the eighties and nineties in Nigeria, you will understand that Wike broke protocol by challenging a soldier following orders... Wike ought to have querried the chain of command ... not the soldier directly, even the police who surrounded Wike were aware of this, which is why they dared not intervene. That soldier cannot even be court martialed because he was following orders.

If you can recall what happened to the late Chuba Okadigbo back in the days, who even though was a Senate president could not override the orders of the chief of defence staff and soldiers tossed him aside ... that's how the military works sir, which is the reason why sane people should head the military or strategic defence positions, otherwise orders like such would be the normal.

PoliticsRe: Julius Malema Calls For 1 Africa: 1 President, 1 Currency, 1 Parliament, 1 Army by optimusprime2(m): 8:37am On Aug 25, 2025
Mtcheew.... He should focus on South-Africa's internal structure before looking beyond...

Currently one of the most Anti-African countries in Africa, is South-Africa;
1. Xenophobia 101%
2. Collaborative ethic within Africa 0.7%
3. Collaborative ethic outside Africa 101%
4. General work ethic vs Entitlement mentality (to be discussed another day)

South-Africa acts like they are not even part of Africa most times and that has affected the mentality of it's citizens to a large extent.

Dear Julius,

Clean up your house before attempting to sweep public roads, because most of the rubbish on the public roads are from your house.

This is why hard work, consistency and loyalty to your roots pay off.

A lot of male players need to learn from these ladies, especially those with dual citizenship.

Typical example is Tammy Abraham... Look at him, and look at his mates like Ademola Lookman and Ashleigh Plumptre.

...Also, where is Jordan Ibe these days?!!
Frankly speaking I don't blame Tammy Abraham, that guy could not declare to play for Nigeria because the strikers were too much for Nigeria to select from...

As for Jordan Ibe, when he could have been called Emmanuel Dennis was his blocker ... time has just passed for him because 30 is knocking his door now.

Adolf Hitler died in 1945 that's about 80 years ago...
Yet till today, the entire world has not fully recovered from world war 2 impacts. However the world learned, and uses Adolf Hitler as a reference to prevent future problems.

It's good to sometimes acknowledge the causes of significant problems, so that the same mistakes can be immediately avoided if the same path is chosen later on.

I get that you feel uncomfortable about a late persons memory being clamped to a problem, however A spade needs to be called " A spade" now, so that when current babies grow up, they would be able to differentiate a spade from a shovel.

It is what it is...
SportsRe: Not Messi Or Ronaldo: Trump Names His Greatest Footballer Of All Time by optimusprime2(m): 2:44pm On Jul 17, 2025
richmond500:
I watched videos of Pele, Pele was great but I'll still choose Messi and ronaldo.
Pele didn't have many strong rival like M10 or Cr7 in his days, also football rules weren't this hard and skills weren't this refined during Pele time.

The duo dominated when Benzema, scholes, De bryne, Xavi, Pique, Ramos etc were on the pitch with crazy passes and crazy tackles.
When it comes to dribble, there is no one that existed on this planet that does it better than Ankara messi
It's easier to compare footballers who played in the same generation I.e Messi and CR7, however the comparison methodology becomes very complicated & skewed if one tries to compare footballers from different generations i.e Pele and Messi or Pele and CR7..

You see football has changed radically from 40 yrs ago due to technology; Goal line tech, VAR, Ball dynamics, offside accuracy etc , rules; Substitute number, extra time adjustment, goal keeper play rule adjustments, foul ammendments, competition rules etc...

So I think for me this "one goat debate" across generations is a very arguable topic.

There should be "goats of generations/eras" and Pele happens to be one of them.

How can you compare a player that played in an era when the ball itself weighed double it's weight when it rained, with players who scored screamers and collected Puskas awards just because they used the Jabulani ball... to me it's just unfair.

I once watched a clip of Pele dribbling some defenders and the way those guys were diving into the tackles, it made Pepe & Sergio Ramos look like scripture union pastors... but nowadays players are protected, as some tackles are instant red card offences.... back then to be a striker was akin to "walking the plank".

I doubt Messi's career would have taken him past 32 years if he had played in the 70's, 80's or 90's ... some defender would have ended his career ... ask the real R9 how market.

PoliticsRe: ‘Very Unfortunate That People Are Raining Insults On Buhari After Death - Aliyu by optimusprime2(m): 10:53am On Jul 15, 2025
I really don't understand Nigeria any more...

When Yaradua died, he left a legacy that spoke for itself, people genuinely mourned him despite the fact he was smuggled into the airport and Nigerians were shielded from the truth - (I remember vividly when they cut power in the airport to keep things under the cover of the night)... bottom line, the truth was spoken by the masses & Yaradua till date remains one of the most loved Democratic president's ever elected.

Now for Buhari's legacy, the economy speaks for itself... yes tribute should be paid to the honor of a past president, but like it or hate it, the fact remains that Economic retrogression and acute decline is part of Buhari's legacy.

Now
Why should the truth be avoided?

PersonalDiary:
Hy Fellow Nigerians,


I think I have accomplished all my missions in Nigeria and it's time for a new chapter. But I still have some bottlenecks to settle before making the best decision.

I'm late twenties.A Bsc holder. Here are my issues at the moment.

1. The right country to choose.
2. The right skill
3. In a serious relationship

My target countries are Australia & Canada but open to any European country( Schengen country) that would be good to start life as a family person and have an easier route to Permanent Residence or citizenship.

I'm a crypto trader and I don't think it's something that's viable overseas. Have been trying to learn Cyber security but I'm.not consistent with it. But would be open to learn any other skill that would ensure I settle properly and take care of myself and family.

On the last note, I'm in a serious relationship for the past 6 months and contemplating on getting married first before moving or moving first before adding any more load to my burden.

My friends advised me to end everything and save my head first because it won't be easy moving in as a spouse in a new country.

To be honest, I need to make a fast decision before the end of this year as everything seems to no longer move on my side at the moment since late last year, and I don't want to lose my savings before making the right decisions.

Looking forward to your valuable contributions why I read and make the most important decisions of my life at the moment.
Bro everything was sounding good... until you stated serious relationship grin

Frankly speaking serious relationship in some cases, even marriages & Japa don't belong in the same sentence... unless you are also preparing to come up here to give a relationship update #stories-that-touch 2years after japa.

If you are not planning to go the same time with her, then you are in for a verrrrry looooooong rope.

As for which country is good for you... bro it's simple: do your research, you know your preferences, situation, finances and hussle strength better.... for some people, Chile was good, for others Germany, some the UK, some Portugal, some New Zealand while others Uruguay, some even China!

So bro pick your battle.

There's a plethora of info out there for you to adequately consult directly based on your specific requirements and circumstances including AI engines.

Asking us, would just have us merely giving common suggestions to a serious matter, based on the basic picture we have from what you only used some few sentences to describe
