Nothing to concentrate on as they're in the final already which would be played after the league season is over. Unless you want to think they'll play safe in the league to conserve some energy for the UCL final

Yeah. Did not see that before writing. But...they should use all their energy to win the league. As per the champions League final. It's not talent but pure agidi just mentality and determination. Every team in the last 4 of the champions League is already talented. It's mentality that trumps talent. Just ability to perform within that 90 minutes or more. They should win the league if they can fight and not bottle things like they do in the past.

But

Arsenal - 3 more games to be EPL Champions after 22 yrs.

Arsenal - UCL Final away from a 1st European Title.

2026 could finally be that year in Gunners History. For the EPL, I already foresaw them winning months earlier but recent setbacks were really frustrating and they are favored it is back in their hands again.

Arsenal fans Kwenu!!

Wait...Maybe arsenal should concentrate on the league. Champions League is nit talent alone. Dies arsenal have the mentality to win the champions League. That is the issue. The league itself takes mentality. Arsenal are not mentality mibsters. They should just win the league. Do they have that winning mentality. Don't care about talent. At this stage mentality and psychology trumps talent.

Most UCL Semifinals starts by a teenager in History

Nwankwo Kanu - 4
Iker Casillas - 4
MLS - 3🆕️

About zadok yohanna. I have not seen him play. But an owngoalnigeria report was comparing him to a teenage Kanu. I don't believe them as iengosl exaggerates things. But how does this zadfick okay. Can he okay attacking midfield. Just tell me mire about his style if okay. Is he a pure winger. In my opinion he should go to france or Belgium and concentrate on development.

When she tells you “ no sex before marriage…”


There’s nothing inherently wrong with that statement. On the surface, it’s simply a woman expressing her boundaries, and that deserves basic respect.

But as a man, how you respond to it should be dependent on two critical questions:

#1. What kind of woman is saying it?

And

#2. Why is she saying it?



Let’s begin with… what kind of female is telling you that?

— Is she a virgin, or semi-virgin (no penetration but other activities)?

Or

— Has she already had sex in the past?
But unfortunately… In 2026 Nigeria, “almost” no woman above 19 years is still a virgin. In fact, many start sexual experiences way before 16.

And once a girl has had sex… even once...it is ruined. Her heart has lost its innocence.


I saw that Nairaland front-page post where the guy dropped this gem:


“If she says no sex before marriage, support it… but tell her it also means no sex with anybody else before marriage.”


I laughed so hard I nearly spilled my drink. Bro, whoever you are… bless your pure heart, but you’re one hell of a naive guy.


It sounds principled on the surface. But the reality is... Modern Naija women in 2026 are far less likely to actually keep to your little no sex with anybody else deal.


Here's why:

Modern women have ridiculously more sexual options than at any point in history. The kind of options and body counts most girls rack up? Only men who are A-list or B-list celebrities are playing in that league.


When she gets Hot for sex, she just scrolls through her hundreds of DMs or picks from the squad of guys hovering around her like vultures.


For most guys, when they get Hot for sex? Their options are usually porn videos and a lonely night of "handling business" till they sleep.


So when you agree to her “no sex before marriage,” understand this: she’s not making the same sacrifice you are.


The power dynamic is lopsided from start. She’s asking you to give up something that's already scarce for you, while she’s only “sacrificing” something she has in ridiculous abundance for her. That’s not equal sacrifice, bro… that’s a psychological setup.


Also, one dark truth about the female species:


Women wear different faces for different guys.


When she's around the street-wise, raw, scumbag, sexually experienced dudes… she lets her real naughty freaky nature breathe freely.


But when she's around the nice, gentlemanly, “intentional,” pedestalizing brother? She suddenly becomes Sister Mary: proper, wholesome, holy, sexually reserved wife-material.


She doesn’t want you “good & intentional” men to know she loves sex just as much as (sometimes more than) men do. So she puts on the perfect Virgin Mary act, hoping the good boys will commit.



Anyway… back to the topic.

The dark truth most men refuse to swallow:

A woman who truly wants you romantically will usually find a way to get sexual with you — even before marriage — if the attraction and connection are high enough.

That brings us to the real question:

Why is she telling you “no sex before marriage”?

It’s usually one of two realities:

#1. She’s not that attracted to you.
You’re the safe, stable provider backup while she quietly gets her sexual needs sorted elsewhere.

Or

#2. She’s genuinely into you, but she’s carrying shame, religious guilt around sex with a man who hasn't paid her bride price, or… most likely… she just doesn’t trust you enough yet. She’s scared you’ll smash and dash once you get it.

Both sound the same on the surface (“no sex before marriage”), but they’re worlds apart for your future.

#1 is straight manipulation dressed as virtue.

#2 is real desire for you but blocked by fear of being used, or guilt from her mum, pastor, or imam’s sermons.



So what's the real move?

When she drops the “no sex before marriage” line, don’t argue or simp. First, figure out if she’s actually in category #2: that is, she genuinely wants you but is blocked by fear, guilt, or past trauma.

The cleanest way to test it? Make her invest in you: real effort, helping out, and yes, even spending money on you.

From my own experience:

I was vibing with this babe, things moving smooth, then one evening she hit me with the “no sex before marriage bla bla.” I found it funny because it was my first time hearing that one. I didn’t argue, didn’t negotiate, didn’t simp. Just replied calmly: “I get you. I’m not rushing anything either. We’ll see how it develops naturally.”

Then I flipped the frame and made her pay[b] the toll[/b] to stay in my world… through real effort and financial investment.

Effort like: “Come through and help me with this: cook, organize, even review boring work documents…

If she resisted, I already knew she was a time-waster.

I ask for financial investment in different ways. For example… I once spotted a nice fancy shoe I liked and boldly told her to buy it for me. She laughed, said she no get money… then offered to pay half.

Throughout all her efforts and financial gifts, I never pushed for sex or seduced her hard. Why? Because her investment in me was doing the real seduction.

With time, she got comfortable. Touching started, lap sitting, kissing… everything.

That’s when I realized her “no sex before marriage” was never about holiness… she was just scared I’d use her body and dump her.



There’s more wisdom I could drop, but I’ll stop here:

Understand this: Her giving sex isn’t the only compatibility test. But refusing it *while* also refusing to invest in you? That’s not virtue, bro… that’s straight manipulation or exploitation.

Biggest red flag? You ask for even small financial investment and she hits you with:

“Are you not the man? Aren’t you supposed to be the one to provide and pay?”

My brother, run. You’re dealing with a woman who has zero genuine interest in you…just future problems wrapped in entitlement.

Here’s the harsh reality even your pastors won’t tell you:

If she’s not genuinely into you, or you’re incompatible on key things, waiting till marriage won’t magically fix shit.

Plenty men have waited, married, then regretted it bitterly when the bedroom turned cold and the sexual/romantic mismatch slapped them in the face: issues they should have discovered during courtship.

In defence of girls. The no sex before marriage thing is the way a girl tests if a guy really likes them or not. As in you get the sex and just leave. That's all. If a girl says no sex before marriage just say ok and that maybe in a few months she will change her mind. Then as a sharp guy get at least another lady you will be sexing and don't spend on her. Just stay around. She will or may reward your patience and give you sex. To her your sticking around shows you care beyond sex. But please and please don't spend on her and make sure you get sex somewhere else. That way you won't simp. Once a girl sees you are patient you may get sex. Most guys just leave immediately they hear no sex before marriage. It's a way girls get to see if a guy even likes them at all. It's their own way of testing stuff from a feminine point of view. It actually makes sense. As a man if I really like a girl I will be at least tolerant and considerate of the no sex before marriage. I will wait. But...I repeat get your sex elsewhere and don't spend much. Just spend when it's needed.
Then part of the reason for the simping is that most guys do not get sex from somewhere else while with the no sex before marriage girlfriend. You don't go into relationships for sexual security. That leads to simping. Get sex from somewhere else. So even if your girl does not give you sex, you don't spend on her and your sexual needs are satisfied somewhere else. You just keep looking at her.
The no sex before marriage is two things. It's either she does not like you at all or she wants to see if you will not just use and dump her.
Of course as you said mother nature made it easy for ladies to get sex. She does not even need guys in her phone
She just needs to dress seductively and walk down the road. I. Less than an hour someone parks a car and she hops in.

Our forefathers put shame mechanisms around female sexuality. No virginity, no marriage so women had to be chaste or the whole village will shame them. Modernity has moved beyond that. No one cares about virginity before marriage so a girl can get on with it anyhow.
See, ancient man knew it's too easy for women to get sex and female sexuality needs to be controlled. Modern man did away with that. Most guys are still operating with the ancient mindset in which it costs a girl even her life if she had sex before marriage.
Nowadays it cost her nothing. No one really cares anymore. So guys have to go beyond this ancient mindset. It's what maybe kills guys

These things have being said many times on red pill so repeating it is boring.

It's really sad Uche Left Getafe to be a bench warmer at struggling crystal palace
I hope he finds his place back at Getafe
So many of our players make the wrong move all in the name of playing in the big league
From Aribo to Tolu
Just looked at how people have turned their backs on Tolu the same people that were happy he moved to Wolves
One is even saying he should go and find his level in Turkish league
The same Tolu just last year was saving us in the world cup qualifies

iF WE SET ASIDE FINANCIAL STRENGTH.
THE IRONY IS THAT SEVILLA IS FAR BETTER THAN THIS CRYSTAL PALACE
I THINK SEVILLA HAS WON EUROPA 7 TIMES.
ALSO ALL SORTS OF FAMOUS PLAYERS HAVE PLAYED FOR SEVILLA
CRYSTAL PALACE HAS A BETTER CURRENT FORM BUT IT IS JUST THERE.
SEVILLA IN A SENSE IS A BIG BOY CLUB.
THE LA LIGA IS AT THE SAME LEVEL AS THE PREMIER LEAGUE.
CRYSTAL PALACE JUST BOUGHT FOR FORM.
TECHNICALLY I EVEN THINK LA LIGA IS BETTER.
AS IN BEING TECHNICAL WITH THE BALL.
I DONT GET THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE THING.

Why does "VISIT ME" sounds like sex to many girls?!!

Because a lot of us guys have abused it. It has gotten to the point that guys believe the moment a lady visits them it is sex and if she refuses, they will for e her and rape her. A lot of ladies complain about this to me. I am a guy and I think a lot of men have to be criticized for this horrible attitude

Onuche ogbelu should be invited for all our friendlies and play some matches for 90 minutes. They are friendlies and we have nothing to loose. He may be the solution to our midfield problems.
Here we go again. The idea that a player that is not in Europe is not as good as those not in Europe. Is okoya really better than nwabali. Most people here will say they don't agree and even mock onuche ogbelu.
Let us try him in a friendly and see what happens.
The history of Nigerian football is funny. At the end of the day it is someone or something we underrate that will save us

Female nairalanders, please give your insight on the topic.
Share your experience or opinion.

Most women do not tell the truth when it comes to issues like this. They will tell you it is not possible and that no girl will give her number to someone in the road. However, a lot of ladies do the opposite.
I know it won't make sense to you and you will think I am saying rubish. But the world of romance is simply not logical. It's not 1 + 1 = 2.
It has its own weird logic. So if ladies say they can't give their number it is not really true.

See we are wired by thousands of years of human evolution but we have highly advanced brains.
The issue is when it comes to romance,our wiring or instinct as humans trumos logic. This is why romance is not logical. It's based on instinct and emotion rather than logic

Good evening Nairalanders,

I was discussing with a friend on the topic and I would like to hear your experiences or opinion : Do you think it's possible to approach a random girl on the street and get her phone number?

I told my friend that it's super tough for a girl to give out her phone number to a guy on the road, I told him the success rate is like 2 out of 100, no matter how smooth, packaged or charming you are .

I opined that I think social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, etc., are way more effective for connecting with people in this digital age but he disagreed.

I did a social experiment with car and without car to see if a girl would accept to give her phone number to someone on the first meet but the attempts were almost like a joke ( although it was a bit fun since it was just an experiment)

Even in my campus days, I always laughed at my department guys who approached random girls for phone number because it was never successful.

I have seen it work also but that was in areas where the girls did it because they were scared of the environment.


So back to the question:

Guys, have you had any success asking girls for numbers on the street? Girls, would you give a guy your number if he asked on the first meet? Share your experiences!

Let's discuss.

To be honest with you. The chances of getting phone numbers from girls on the streets is like 70 percent. I have gotten up to 200 phone numbers within 8 months from girls on the streets before. It's not even anything special. It's because you have unnecessary fear. It's very easy to do.

elyte89:
National teams are now operating like club sides, with structured systems and extensive scouting networks to identify players who best fit their style of play. This is why many countries have strengthened their coaching staff, assigning specific roles such as player scouting to support the head coach. With this level of organization, African football is becoming increasingly competitive, especially in AFCON and World Cup qualifiers. The next round of qualifiers will be particularly tough. While other nations are advancing in scouting and recruitment, Nigeria is still debating whether to include foreign-born players.

I don't understand the issue of player scouting. We are discovering players in our football academies everyday. Ok yohanna zadik, Ebenezer akinsanmiro, suleiman Muhammed, benjamin fredericks, Moses usor et. As per foreign born, we cannot force them. The ones that want to okay for us will play for us. We can only ask. The lack of world cup qualification was due to the fact that we could not get a replacement on time after peseiro resigned.

AndSunGorilla:
Happy for the guy that he finally made it. That means it isn't impossible to get a couple of decent players from the NPFL. Not necessarily injecting them into the SE. The truth is any good one invited to the SE would leave in no time and the cycle starts again.

Yeah you got it.
Local league players are talented but raw.
I think they are badly trained. They are a product of a combination of
poor coaching and raw unrefined talent. Something like rice that is not cooked.
Maybe they do not do well in European football because they are badly coached
and those short commings are easy to notice by European coaches.
Maybe what a 12 year old boy in Europe knows about football a 22 year old
local league player has not even heard of it before.
The gap in knowledge makes European coaches not to rate them.
However, it can be worked on.
Sunday Mba is an example of how raw uncooked badly coached talent can
still be useful.
That is why i dont totally dismiss local league players. the fact that something
is raw does not mean it cannot be useful and refined.

Wahala wahala wahala ooo

People don't understand what is going on and I don't blame them because US Media is imperialist propaganda so here's the 411:

Donald Trump is freaking out because he is not only losing, but this war against Iran is speeding up the collapse of the US empire

Iran taking control of the Strait of Hormuz is going to cost the US $3 trillion a year. Since the 1970s oil has been traded using the petrodollar. Iran knew this and knew it could severely weaken US hegemony by allowing ships to pass if they switched from the petrodollar to Chinese yuan.

The other major development that isn't being covered is the US has spent trillions of dollars on building US bases in order to occupy and control the Middle East. These bases have taken significant damage from Iranian missiles and are being abandoned.

The US is not and never was "liberating" Iran, but Iran is absolutely liberating the Middle East from US imperialism.

Like all empires of the past the US is no different: It is collapsing under the weight of its own greed, corruption, and barbarity.

Western scientists will soon invent a source of power or fuel cheaper and more available than oil. It will happen in less than 10 years. We already have those stuff (solar, wind etc). We just need to make it cheaper than oetrol. In 10 years scientists will and petroleum will loose its relevance.

A simple trivia... GKs wars: Trust and reliability

The Super Eagles are in the final of the 2027 Afcon and will inevitably end that game in penalties shootout. Question is which Goalkeeper do you absolutely trust to man the goal even into penalty shootouts?

Option A. Maduka Okoye

Option B. Arthur Okonkwo

Option C. Francis Uzoho

Option D. Amas Obasogie

Option E. Stanley Nwabali

Stanly Nwabili. He is good at penalties.
The other keepers can keep in other matches but not
in a nations cup final where a lot is at stake.
As per Maduka Okoye i do not know if he is good in penalties or not.
The other keepers have time to develop anyway.
However, this is a must win match

WarHammer2000:
I remember saying this guy, rather than Adams should start alongside Osimhen at the AFCON. I was laughed to scorn. Now he is outscoring Osimhen in the same league with a weaker team.

They preferred to start an injured Osimhen against Morocco when he was on the bench, by the way.

Onuachu is like a sports car that is not motorable for the Nigerian road. It does not thrive on bad roads and consumes too much fuel. Also, it gets damage easily and the soareolparts are not available this, it is not durable. He is not versatile, does not fit into so many formations and you have to okay in a particular way for you to use him. Osimhen in the other hand can fit into any formation at anytime. This, onuachu is fantastic but too technically limited and not rugged in the sense of fitting into any formation.bhe can make it in a big league if he finds a decent club that knows how to use hi. Osimhen does not need any tactical tweaking to perform. In fact, he can play as a wide forward or winger. That's all.

SuperOnyi:




I'm challenging any Nigerian college "graduate" to come here and prove that people with high school education are "illiterates." There's absolutely nothing a graduate can teach me except what they studied in school (and even if they paid any attention in school).

And even if they know what they studied, I will teach myself right here in the home country and still beat them.

Of course it's well known. There is a difference between being schooled and being educated. Education is about acquiring knowledge and it is life long and not institution bound. Of course a lot of Nigerians only read to pass exams and stopped reading the moment they graduate from school. So it's well known. Of course most Nigerians are well schooled but not educated. They went through school but school did not pass through them.

No

Well done my oga. Still surprises me, Obinna Nwobodo never got a chance with the Super Eagles. At least Yusuf was invited from the same MLS.

Of course you know the reason even better than me. We allow Europe to 100 percent control the narrative of how good our players are. To me the European perception of our players should not control the narrative every time. They are not always right.

What Islamic terrorists are trying to do is horrible. They are compressing centuries of east west conflict into an act of killing the infidels. It's like this conflict (the western world vs Islam, East vs West, Persian vs Greece) has being going on for a long time and then....a terrorist compresses mythology, religion, culture and history into a single narrative and starts killing people. Boko Haram is an example "Western education is forbidden". The East vs West thing again. When you compress this kind of conflict into a single narrative, history weighs in your shoulder and you feel responsible to end it all by killing a lot of people in irrational acts of violence and claiming you are right.

I mean look at these narratives.
1. We Muslims used to occupy Spain and parts of Europe before we were driven away. It's unfair, let's reclaim the lands Allah told us to conquer.
2. When the British came to Nigeria, they undermined our Northern Nigeria culture and mocked Islam. This is not fair. We must fight for our religion and culture to be dominant again
3. When uthman dan fodio fought his jihad he could not conquer southern Nigerian tribes. Now, let us complete it by finishing his job.
4. The western powers destroyed the Ottoman empire. Now idksm has fallen. A person living in New York thinks like this and to fight for idksm, he walks into a train station and starts shooting people.
These narratives are political, spiritual, mythological etc. the person tells he it she is the chosen one by Allah to carry out the final conquest or retribution and fights with a sense of history

Host78:
I'll write again.

You don't know a person's true nature unless they are the ones with power.

You can't tell if a man is humble when he's in poverty because then he cannot be anything but humble.

You cant tell if a man is a good man unless he has the means to be both good and evil.

In Nigeria, men have the power. They earn more, yet they marry women with nothing and love these women.

They take her across the border because they feel that's what's best for the family.

In the UK, the same woman who professed love for the man and her family is suddenly given power

And remember, power shows one's true nature.

Suddenly, the family that loved and protected her, she suddenly strikes it back and divides it into two.

Power showed her true nature which have laid dormant because she never had the power.

So, the broken homes you see in the UK have very little to do with men being terrible people but with women being terrible human beings.

Who choose themselves over others especially the ones they claim they love.

This is the hallmark of selfishness: choosing oneself above everyone else regardless of how close or how much they have sacrificed for you in the past.

Look around you: all they talk about is excuses like how these men want to be treated like kings because they don't do house chores.

Forgetting that these men never cared for them to bring a kobo for the 10 or 15 years they were married in Nigeria.

These men never cared that these women never contributed one kobo to their own wedding expenses.

Yet these men never said "she wanted to be treated like a queen". In fact these men treats their women like queens and want to see her like their queen.

But suddenly a year in the UK, she faults him for domestic chores and break their homes.

Ah! terrible humans and yet not realizing how terrible they are.

i THINK THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST NIGERIAN WOMEN DO NOT MARRY WHO THEY LOVE.
THEY MARRY DUE TO 2 REASONS 1. SOCIETAL PRESSURE 2. FINANCIAL REASONS.
I THINK THE ISSUE IS THAT IF YOU TELL A LADY TO MARRY ON TIME THE USUAL THING IS THAT THE MAN
SHE IS ATTRACTED TO AND FEELS LIKE HAVING SEX WITH IS NOT FINANCIALL READY.
WHEN CLOSE TO 30 OR DUE TO SOCIETAL PRESSURE OR BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE THEY SETTLE FOR MR AVAILABLE
AND NOT MR RIGHT
THIS MAY BE WHY PATERNITY FRAUD HAPPENS.
WHEN THEY GO ABROAD THEY HAVE MORE RIGHTS AS THE LAW AND CULTURE OF THE WESTERN WORLD EMPOWERS THEM
AND THEN THEY CAN DO WHAT IS IN THEIR MIND

Emmanuel Fernandez is a really decent CB talent but his positional sense when defending needs some work. This is where Benjamin Frederick already excels in at 20. For Fernandez at 24, I expect he will improve and surely get even better. If anyone watched him for the first time today and judged him straight off this porto game, one may not exactly see what is there to like but he is quality.

I may be exaggerating but the way Benjamin fredericks plays scream real Madrid mancity Liverpool Juventus. The boy to me is too good for an average team in the top 5 league. He seems made for the very best. Forget playing positions. His potential is similar to the way a teenage mikels was. Benjamin Frederick football intelligence is more than a lot of players older than him. I don't know if he will end up there but I will not be surprised if real Madrid buys him one day. He can even play midfield.

You want to play and win a team like Spain as an African and you say you wont park the bus, home of tiki taka…issokay

All i know is, you dont need to rate them, but almost a 100% of its football fan will be rooting for them to reach final on home soil….Just wait make SA qualify to round 16 of world cup and see them coming to brag that they will win afcon 2027😂😂….its a general thing with African countries…same thing as us…with our poor showing at 2018 wc, if we had qualified for 2022 and reach the semis im telling you, we would be handing ourselves the trophy of 2030 if we were to b the host🤣

Golden generation nostalgia. We did not park the bus when we beat Spain 3 2 in france 98. We are the only African team that can actually play ball with Europeans.

Pukkalolo:
First, the idea that raw attraction or genuine desire has an “expiry date” like carton milk…

Nah…That's totally false…

You're confusing temporary “interest” vs raw desire.

They are two totally different things…


First off…

You're right… Interest can wear off because of life's stress, arguments, familiarity… She might pull away, stop texting first, or wherever… but that’s interest dying. Not raw desire.

Raw desire doesn’t just evaporate because time passed or Instagram flooded her feed with male options.

Raw desire can go dormant. It can get buried under resentment or life circumstances. But it doesn’t expire like a coupon code.

Here’s the key difference:

You can lose interest in a woman who’s smoking hot…maybe because she disrespected you, maybe you got distracted with work and hustle…and then, one day, you catch a glimpse of her in those sexy tight jeans, smell her perfume… and boom. That raw pull hits you again like a truck. You never “lost” the raw desire. It was just sleeping.

Same for women. A woman can lose interest in you, because she got bored, annoyed, distracted by life… and still have that raw desire flood in back the second you flip the right switches again.

That’s why exes who “moved on” suddenly get wet when you show up looking sharper, acting dominant, reminding her “body” why it reacted to you in the first place.

Look, Zabiboy… Social media didn’t shorten the “desire window.” It only shortened the attention span window.

Abundance of male options on social media makes women flake faster on mild interest. But raw desire is biological, not algorithmic. A woman scrolling past 1,000 cute guys on TikTok doesn’t erase the imprint you left on her nervous system if you genuinely triggered her raw animalistic circuits once.


Now, you said the “third-world desire is fake because of survival instincts” line…


Lolz… you're wrong…

But true, women prioritize providers more openly. They’ll admit it outright, like my Bleep buddies did, she told me: “I’m marrying the rich guy even though I don't desire him sexually.” That’s hypergamy on full display: securing resources while secretly chasing raw desire.

So no…raw desire doesn’t expire.

That’s why a woman can swear she’s “over you,” block you, marry someone else… and still melt the second she sights you because your presence triggered that emotion and primal desire in her.

Interest comes and goes. Raw desire stays forever.

It is this raw desire that leads to adultery and paternity fraud. If women had their own money, then they have a greater tendency to marry who they really have raw desire for. It's simple. But....Nigerian women don't have that luxury most of the time. Biology does not favour them and so they have to settle for the man that is ready and has money.

I stopped reading here because this opening alone shows that you have zero idea what I'm talking about.



For one, the strongest man cannot single handedly walk into Aso Rock because Aso Rock is protected by a strength greater than his, the military.

I have highlighted this many times in my writing.

Now the military is the strongest force of any nation and anytime they get organized and agree on any rule, that rule becomes the constitution.

In fact, if the military agree that civilian rule must come to an end today, the constitution will be torn up and your courts becomes useless.

Again strength alone is the reason for everything stability in a country.

There's nothing like systems, organizations or whatever.

There's only force. If the force is sufficient, every other thing permitted by that force thrives.

If the US force is sufficient, it can allow Nigeria to have sovereignty or remove the president today if it wants.

Doesn't matter the systems nigeria have in place.

This is why every powerful country spends heavily first on military and not politics, religion, systems or psychology.

The force comes first because without it, nothing else matters.

Now imagine a man who is stronger than any human. An indestructible man.

Think of superman.

If he wants power, he'll take over the whole world and bring everyone to their knees regardless of their "alliance, systems or whatever you can think of.

Watch every superman movies, there's always a quiet fear in which the people fears that since they cannot destroy him, he might want to rule the world.

So, the military first line is always to fight that superman, and then you hear quality from superman like, I do not wish to fight you or take over.

They make him a moral being. One that wants to be good.

Now let's look at AI. Imagine an Ai that's indestructible, super intelligent beyond your comprehension.

You think the AI wants to form alliances, be under your constitution and obey your tiny minds?

Why exactly do you think we fear AI? it's because it's a power far greater than anything we've got at the moment.

But even more so, we cannot control it. And so if we cannot control it, how does our alliances matter?

I can give you a gazillion examples but you just cannot comprehend it because your mind is fixed on the stability of the system and not the chaos.

Image: power is power. Nothing else matters.

The bolded is where psychology comes in. The soldiers are humans who can change their mind. The soldiers can decide not to alter the constitution because they have being made to believe in an ideology that says they must not alter the constitution. Soldiers simply do what they believe in. The idea comes before the gun. Boko Haram is powerful because for 7 years Mohammed Yusuf (the founder) preached radical Islam to the youth and elite of Maiduguri. By the time he died the harm had being done and his followers carried it to the end. Okay to end Boko Haram all you have to do is get the followers to believe in something else and they will all drop their guns and even fight the very Boko Haram they were fighting for in the first place. I mean if the major members of Boko Haram become atheists christians pacifits moderate muslims or any ideology that disagrees with Boko Haram that is the end of the organizatin.
In fact religion and repressive goverments recognize this psychological principle and that is why they fight against anyone who spreads any contrary ideology. I mean disbeleiving in christ sends you to hell. It is to keep the religious ideology and organization going. To decide that the constitution should end or not you need to convince the humans who are in the military. That is all.

Merry100:
Wow ... you have single-handedly condensed centuries of history, law, and human civilization into the idea that everything depends on the ego of the strongest man. Lazy ass, you simply don't understand power, society, or rights.

Let me unpack your masterpiece of nonsense: Women didn't receive rights because men woke up generous one morning. They protested, resisted, voted, and risked their lives to force societies to change. Laws weren't written out of kindness; they were written because chaos, oppression, and brute force don't work long-term.

Muscle isn't power. Real power is political, moral, and social. Without laws, institutions, and societal order, even the strongest would be unsafe, and nothing could be controlled.

Your obsession with "survival of the strongest" exposes the biggest flaw in your argument: if humans truly lived by brute strength, there would be no laws, no armies, no governments; and people like you wouldn't last long at all. Life doesn't reward ego; it rewards cooperation, intelligence, and systems. That is why civilization exists.

What we call armies would just be organized mobs if they weren't operating within laws and societal systems. Strength alone never guarantees control. Even armies are not powerful on their own, they are tools of power
shaped by political leadership, and the legitimacy that directs their use. Which is why they surrender when larger systems, alliances, or collective pressures demand it.

Rights aren't pieces of paper protected by men or fragile gifts from strong men. They are social contracts that protect everyone, including ordinary men like you. The "survival of the strongest" idea is a naive fantasy: the same laws that protect women also prevent someone stronger from taking what you have. Strip those away, and you don't become powerful; you become expendable.

Strong female leaders, like Queen Elizabeth I, ruled and survived because they understood power, laws, alliances, and institutions; not through physical strength. Strength alone never guarantees survival or power; something your whole argument completely ignores.

Civilization isn't about brute force; it's about cooperation, intelligence, and systems. Social media hasn't erased men's protective nature; it exposes insecurity in men who confuse dominance with strength and fear equality because it removes imagined leverage.

If rights only exist because men allow them, then your entire sense of security depends on pretending civilization is optional. It isn't. And if "survival of the strongest" were true, trust me; you wouldn't even survive a week.

Stop fantasizing about power and start understanding why society exists in the first place. Laws and rights aren't optional gifts; they are the backbone of civilization.

You are very correct
In fact, real power is psychological and ideological. People do stuff simply because they believe in an ideology. For example, Boko haram is simply an evil ideology so it takes a better ideology and orientation to defeat it. You are right again, civilization is about intelligence and not unguided force. Technology needs intelligence to develop. Force needs direction. To make the government fall just convince the soldiers to fight against the country. Imagine you convince a soldier to betray Nigeria into the hands of separatist groups like biafra or odus people. His ideology is too simple to work. See, Mohammed Yusuf the founder of Boko haram simply had to preach his ideology for a period of about 5 years in Maiduguri and the youths followed him. Thats all.

Start online, then start dressing well to look confident with yourself.

Make sure you have some kind money that makes you happy with what you do and with your life - but don't put money upfront to woo a woman.

When you move to physical approach, start first by simply asking for directions from a fine girl. Then move to asking a girl who's walking that you want to walk with her (compliment her dress or shoe, ask about the area, but don't ask for number - rejection may make you run back to your shell).

Small small, you go get am clear.

When you finally get a girl that is interested in regularly talking to you, make sure she's actually an interesting person, not those ones that are hungry 6 times a day. Talk about life, trending topics, tease her, don't love bomb her - give her space, let her also initiate conversations, basically build a decent friendship, but no allow am turn to Friend zone or friends with benefits; throw am toast and then you'll have a girlfriend worth loving.

Abeg leave that story.
