This title is misleading though. I actually thought it was the bandits that were killed and maimed until I read the story. I was hoping this was a reprisal attack ok the bandits that earlier killed over 50 people in Kaduna last week.
God intervene in Kaduna.
I hope the security is beefed up by both the state govt and the people.
I remember when 1 million boys became a menace in some areas of Lagos. It took the combined effort of both the state and the people to neutralise the mayhem.
The boys were decimated faster.

Well, I do not know what you mean by LOVE in your own language, BUT LET ME BE BRUTALLY HONEST....

The dreadful part where ALL BUTTERFLIES HAVE EITHER DIED OR FLOWN AWAY and HORNnINESS is now a memory AND THE PRESENCE of your spouse feels like a burden cos singleness become so so attractive again like a LIFE GOAL, yet you have to just KEEP FAKING IT AND DOING EVERYTHING when you know it is no longer how it felt like in the beginning.

its Haaaarrrd

The problem is usually our definition and interpretation of the bolded, LOVE.

Love is best described by 3 words- Responsibility, Tolerance and Sacrifice.

When the butterflies fly away and the sex slowly fades to black; And the eyes open to see the "real" person you married and the issues that come along with.
That is when you know if you truly love your spouse.
Love is not what you expect to get only but especially how much of you that you can give your spouse.

Hezbollah in Lebanon is the most powerful group in the country, yet they haven't imposed Islamic laws or values in the country, Lebanon is a secular country. If Iran's major ally haven't islamized Lebanon, how are they going to islamize the world?

The ground that Iran will islamize the world is lame, Saudi Arabia is more dangerous than Iran, yet they are America's greatest ally, if in 2020 you still judge international politics from the viewpoint of religion, then I have nothing to say.


You may not view international politics from religious perspective thinking it's all about economics but these countries still do. I'm shocked at your naivity though when your own country (Nigeria) clearly still does.

* Funding militias who are threats to US allies in the region, e.g Hezbollah in Lebanon is a huge threat to Israel, Houthis in Yemen is a threat to Saudi Arabia, while these groups are being tagged terrorists by US, they aren't your normal terrorists like Boko or ISIS, they exist for the sole purpose of defending their land, they don't go about killing innocent women and children, they only attack military formation.

* Iran's continuous support of Assad in Syria.

* Iran's missile and nuclear programme, the nuclear programme is still being debated, while everyone thinks Iran isn't going nuclear, US thinks otherwise. Iran has said their won't give up on their nuclear programs, no sane nation gives up their defense, if not for their missile technology, US would have bombarded Iran to the ground.

* Regime change.

One man's terrorist they say is another man's freedom fighter.
If you see Iran as fighting to keep their land and not trying to islamize the world, then you won't see them as terrorists.
In fact, you'll see US as the terrorists.

And any financial org using the USD and have dealings with Iran is liable to US sanctions. Their currency is almost dead, they can't import necessary drugs etc and you want them not to be hateful and bitter towards the US?

But that's what they get for being the headquarters of terrorism and threat to the world.

Bitter truth.

It's glaring Democracy can *NEVER" achieve what the military achieved.


What runs our economy today where the buildings, foundation and ideas of past military regime. Virtually nothing new is coming to the table outside massive looting in all sectors which is inspired by democracy.

Yes, their was looting during the military but it was within caucuses loyal to the Head of State. In Democracy, every arm of it is a self made looting machine.

Clearly military is the most likely solution for Nigetia. But only if the HOS isn't another religious or ethnic bigot. But how feasible is that?

Am talking about moses and jonah in the bible. That was typing error. You should know that as well. Abeg save that your mohammed stuff.

Now moses was almost killed by God because of his delay in doing what God commanded him to do. Here it is:

"And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me."
Exodus 4:24‭-‬25 KJV

What about Saul in the bible that became Paul. Jesus(God) blinded him in other to use him for his work. Remember he was the killing and persecuting the disciples of jesus at that time? But he later was arrested and used by God. The same eyes that was blind was later healed by Jesus at the time he accepted the call of God. Christianity is interesting. The God of the Christians is real bro make ko mistake about it. Whatever thay is happening in the Lords has happened in the bible.

"And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."
Acts 9:1‭-‬6 KJV

Ok. I get your point but it's not the same case here.
You initially said, he was almost killed for not answering God's call. That was the error I was correcting. It can be argued even that God killed Moses.
If you understand the new testament you will know that Jesus never kills and is in fact against killing.
And that's one of the differences between the Old and the New testament.

Family / Re: My Wife Of 3 Years Is Very Shy Around Me by pressplay411(m): 1:11am On Mar 01, 2020
Bervelyhillz:
This is a bit long but please bear with me.

I’ve been married to my amazingly beautiful wife for 3 years. The problem is she is very shy around me but at the same time seems to try to secretly please me constantly. It leaves me feeling guilty and I’m not sure of what to do next.

Backstory:

I met her through my mom. My MIL and my mom are childhood friends who grew up together. I never met her at the time since I lived in the US while She was in Nigeria. When I was 20 I saw her in a family friend’s wedding album. I was floored and my eyes were watering. She was the most attractive girl I had ever seen.

I figured out her FB and messaged her since I didn't want to initiate contact through our moms. I struck up a conversation. I soon realized that my mom fed info about me to my MIL which in turn got fed to her , so she already knew a fair bit about me. We chatted constantly, met up on my vacation to Nigeria , and hung out together every day. I learn she is still a virgin saving herself for marriage. I was still one too, mostly because A) I was chubby most of my life and didn't dare go near girls in that state and B) when I did start getting more fit, I already fell in love with her and it felt wrong dating at the same time. So yeah we had that in common.

Skipping ahead again to three years ago when I graduated from grad school. We met up a handful of times more, and things were awesome. She was outgoing with me, giggling over almost nothing and general silliness. We never did anything sexual, but we were intimate enough and honestly seeing her gave me goosebumps, so it wasn't on my mind. On one visit to Nigeria, she brought up the topic of marriage in a joking manner, something about how our mom's always planned it. I jokingly replied that I would be happy to marry her, then she got all serious and asked if I was for real. I said yes and, well, the rest is history.

The problem:

We had our wedding in Nigeria and, after the papers got sorted, she moved to the US to live with me. The first few months were interesting. She knows English pretty well and she majored in her native language, so she looked for translation jobs. She never got replies from employers, so I was getting a little suspicious, especially since she was an honors student at a pretty high ranking international university. I found out that she wasn't actually sending the applications out. I bring this up gently with her, and she starts tearing a bit telling me she wants to be a stay at home wife and that she didn't think I would be proud of her if she didn't get a real job. She says she was going to tell me soon, which I believe because I found a recent word document in our computer that was basically a draft of the speech she was going to give me. I don't mind her staying at home as I bring in enough money for the both of us and she is a really good cook.

This prompted me to sit down with her and figure out where our communication is breaking down. After a bunch of long discussions about this, I felt we were on the same page. She was still growing more timid around me and didn't start conversations easily with me, but she always seemed happy. I stepped up my displays of affection, showering her with compliments, hugs, and kisses. I would often catch her staring at me (usually while we ate), to which she would get red-faced and look away quickly. It’s been 3 years now and still does the smiling stare, except now she doesn’t look away when I catch her. The conversation starting has gotten a bit better, but nowhere near pre-marriage. While she always had this quiet peacefulness to her, I noticed she is intentionally not doing things that might get me worked up. Examples being: discussing politics (we have the same views), discussing my work problems, discussing anything philosophical in nature, etc. She will respond if I start, but she doesn’t take the initiative like before. I really miss that.

The sex is...interesting? As I said before, I didn't have any prior experience so I can't judge her, but she just lays on the bed and doesn’t move until I suggest to. She never initiates but never declines. I try to make it about her more often than not, but if I’m looking for feedback she quietly agrees with whatever I'm doing. After we finish, she lays in the same position looking at me, sometimes smiling, sometimes teary-eyed. I take it she likes it, but then again she never likes to talk about sex. From what I gather in our pre-marriage talks, she doesn't have any negative views on it and it wasn't shunned by her parents, it's just that she is shy. She doesn't like me seeing her naked even though I do (ha ha...:/ ). She is…shy very well proportioned…and I tell her how it is so she shouldn’t feel self-conscious. But she still covers up outside of sex.

Another issue is fitness: I work out constantly at home or in the park (calisthenics) and I invite her to join but she politely declines. She runs almost every morning so I thought maybe she gets enough from that. But I have noticed that my weight backpack at home is sometimes at a different weight than when I left it. I have also noticed She has made some serious butt/thigh gains which really stand out on her thin frame. When I ask if she is doing anything differently, she says “maybe it’s the running” then changes the subject. I don’t understand why she is working out in secret. This is most likely my fault though since I used to try and tease her into working out with me; I made a silly remark about how squatting/ham-raises will put more meat on her legs.

Conclusion:

Guys and gals, I need help. I love my wife dearly. She is funnier than any comedian, more disciplined than any soldier, and more beautiful than any celebrity. But she is making me feel weird by trying to secretly improve herself based on my preferences. Her shyness around me is awkward and I want a return to the easy-going pre-marriage . Has anyone had experience with this?

Also: she has made many friends here and still is in contact with a few back home. However she doesn't seem excited to be around them as much as when I offer to go out with her. She's always offers to cancel plans to stay in with me or go for a walk. I thought she might be depressed, but she is super cheerful even when she doesn't know I'm around.

If this is true story then I guess you should know it's one of the aftermath of marriage, after the honey moon phase phases out. Plus she might need you to put a baby inside her.
If it bothers you so much get a professional help from a good marriage counsellor.
