Kukutente23:
Egypt was a strong Christian nation until it was overrun by the Arabs who killed most of the original Christian indigenes who were black and replaced them with Arabs.
The original Egyptians were blacks. God redeemed them from his curse when he took Jesus to them to rescue him from Herod. Since then, the country grew in Christianity and one of the most prolific Christian writers of the early church Apollos lived and worked for years in Egypt.
The same Arabs crying over Gaza today will not tell us when they intend to return Egypt to its original owners

same as Jordan, yemen, Syria and lebanon. They were all christian dominated regions.

Is it rivers state people that will stop wike madness in rivers state not Nigerians.

Can wike rig election in Kano, Yobe, Delta, Anambra, osun , benue etc. Can he do that ? No.

Wike rigging of election in rivers didn't start today. He rigged election with impunity and get away with it and rivers state people are just there looking him. Very docile and weak set of people.

When Chris ubah did the same godfather ism nonsense in Anambra. Anambra people rallied with our governors which was Ngige and obi to chase him and retire him from politics. Even though, Chris ubah has the federal government backing under OBJ administration. Yet, we still chase him out of politics together with his brother Andy.

Anambra people didn't wait for Nigeria to help them defeat Chris ubah. We did it ourselves. Rivers state people should do the same to wike which I doubt whether they will still do it.

Is there any difference between Chris ubah and Nyeson wike ? No! If Chris ubah was from rivers state. He be controlling rivers state the same way Wike is currently doing.

Na Rivers state people dey tolerate wike nonsense. He insulted their traditionnal rulers on National TV when he was a governor. Nothing happened. Nobody criticize him. Rivers people were silent.

He rigged election with impunity. He stole obi votes. He installed fubara. Fubara resisted. He remove him through SOE. He installed his new LG chairmen. Etc. His atrocities in rivers state is endless. In all these, Rivers state people were silent ? Are they men at all in rivers state.

Wike has been emboldened. He will continue to do more damage in rivers and destroy the state kpatakpata.

Rivers state people should enjoy their emperor KIM JUN WIKE.
I reside in Rivers and honestly, I am suprised by the silence of the Rivers people.
I used to be a huge fan of Wike, but the man's hunger for power and money is just overwhelming.
It's frustrating to see how the people of Rivers State are allowing him to run the state like his personal estate. They've even gone as far as giving him the title of 'Leader of Rivers State

I love your write up but you failed to ask yourself some critical question.


If blacks are so ingenious, why don't we have just one or two black nations in Africa the ancestral homeland of the black race, representing black race in the global arena of technological innovation, scientific innovation, aerospace engineering, space travel, ocean/geographical expeditions, etc? Why must they become successful and ingenious only when they are in a whiteman's country and not in a black controlled/led country?


Why can't black people become successful in science, technology, innovation in a black-led nation like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Benin Republic, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, Gabon, Rwanda, etc?


Every other race now have a nation representing them in global science and technological innovations; China and Japan are representing the Asians, India too, Brazil is representing the South Americans, Germany, Britain, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Russia, etc are representing the Caucasians, Iran, Israel, etc are representing the Middle East and Arabs, tell me which black nation is representing the black race from the black dominant continent of Africa?



Abeg make una go sit down one place, white people are naturally blessed with a higher talent for ingenuity, invention and discovery than we blacks, let's stop all these bull crap abeg undecided
them go say na slave mentality. Even before slave trade we can all see how good the whites were in record keeping and innovation.

seunmsg:
At least in Wike and Tinubu’s type of Democracy, local government elections are conducted with different parties winning election. In Peter Obi’s democracy, local government election are only conducted two months to the end of an 8 years tenure with only one party winning all contested positions.


Should we also talk about how Atiku led the shameless rigging of the 2003 general election? Somethings, I just wish I have the power to move the comments of some of you obidients to the jokes section because that’s where they honestly belong.


You all think we are some kids who don’t know the antecedents of all the rogue politicians you’re idolizing, right? You think Nigerians are some dumb people who can’t read in between the lines?
at the recent LGA election in rivers state. There was only one candidate for each LGA. Most LGA nobody came out to vote. Unlike the previous election organised by Sims.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran At The Crossroads: A Defining Choice by ruggedtimi(m): 6:26pm On Aug 31, 2025
JimRohn:
You clearly have a habit of writing without thinking. First, you twist history and now you contradict yourself mid-sentence. You admit Libya had no ground invasion, only airstrikes and armed rebels — exactly my point. Libya collapsed precisely because it was weak, disarmed, and had no deterrent. The U.S. could bomb freely because Gaddafi handed over his nuclear program years earlier. Had Libya been nuclear-armed, NATO would never have dared fly those planes, let alone arm rebels. Weakness invites predation.

Second, your comparison of Iran to Libya is ridiculous. Libya had no regional alliances, no deterrence, and no long-range strike capability. Iran has all three. That’s why, for over 40 years, the U.S. and Israel have barked loudly but stopped short of invasion. They know the cost. They can sneak in bombers, fire missiles, or hack systems — but they won’t roll in tanks because Tehran won’t collapse like Tripoli.

Your examples of India–Pakistan and Russia–Ukraine are also laughable. Pakistan still exists. Its nukes kept India from full-scale war. Russia still exists. NATO hasn’t invaded Russia directly because of its nuclear arsenal. Your own examples prove deterrence works. If nukes were irrelevant, Pakistan would be occupied, and NATO would already be in Moscow. But they’re not.

And spare me the Western propaganda about “Iran’s weapons falling into wrong hands.” The U.S. has armed Israel with hundreds of nukes outside the NPT, yet lectures others on proliferation. America literally left Afghanistan with $7 billion worth of weapons in Taliban hands — but suddenly Iran is the great danger? Hypocrisy doesn’t become truth just because you parrot it.

You mock resistance because you’re too busy glorifying servitude. But facts don’t lie: Libya disarmed and got destroyed. Iraq was weak and got invaded. Iran resisted, armed itself, built alliances, and remains standing. That’s not theory — that’s history slapping you in the face.

So stop embarrassing yourself with contradictions. The difference between a nation that kneels and one that stands isn’t in your wishful thinking — it’s written in the rubble of Baghdad and Tripoli, and in the unbroken skyline of Tehran.
ukraine invaded kursk in russia, Israel airplanes operated in iran for days. Pakistan and india both nuclear armed fought each other. Nuclear armed doesnt mean they wont attack you.

JimRohn:
Stop fooling yourself. Everything I post here is my own reasoning — I don’t need a bot to think for me. When your arguments collapse under the weight of facts, the only defense you can muster is “copy and paste from AI.” That’s not only lazy, it’s cowardly. If my points sound too precise and logical for you to handle, maybe the problem isn’t me — it’s your shallow grasp of history.

And let’s be clear: comparing U.S./Israeli drone strikes or border skirmishes to a full-scale invasion is laughable. An “invasion” is when armies march in, topple governments, and occupy land — like Iraq, Afghanistan, or Libya. Iran is still standing, still governed by Iranians, and still projecting power across the region. If those little pinprick raids were enough to bring Iran down, it would have collapsed decades ago. Yet here we are, and Iran remains — while Iraq and Libya are smoking ruins.

So stop clutching at straws. The very fact that the U.S. and Israel limit themselves to surgical strikes instead of boots on the ground proves my point: they know Iran will make them bleed if they try a real invasion. That is deterrence in action, whether you like it or not.

You can keep mocking resistance while polishing the chains of servitude, but don’t project your slave mentality onto others. Some nations crawl to survive, others stand to endure — Iran chose the latter. And history will always honor those who stood.
you just dey write plenty...You gave Libya as an example of a weak nation. Yet there was no U.S ground invasion in libya mostly air support and arms supply to rebel groups in libya. Which was almost similar situation in Iran, the u.s sent B-2 Bombers into Iran and they will do so again even if iran should possess a nuclear warhead. Indian attacked pakistan a nuclear armed nation and Ukraine is doing same against all mighty Russia.
My point is that being nuclear-armed isn't enough to deter a nation like the U.S. from attacking Iran. Their main concern is that if Iran acquires a nuclear weapon, it could fall into the wrong hands such as Hezbollah or the Houthis. The U.S and west sometimes supplies weapons to rebel groups, but these are mostly firearms and light explosives not weapons of mass destruction. The same can't be said for Iran, as evidenced by the hypersonic missiles reportedly in the hands of the Houthi
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran At The Crossroads: A Defining Choice by ruggedtimi(m): 9:17am On Aug 31, 2025
JimRohn:
Your reply only proves how shallow your grasp of history is. Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 was wrong — but does one crime justify another tenfold greater? The U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 had nothing to do with Kuwait; it was built on lies about “weapons of mass destruction” and left over a million Iraqis dead. Don’t twist timelines to excuse Western butchery.

You say “no U.S. base in Oman” as if that is proof of independence. Oman is a client state tied by Western trade, military cooperation, and British officers embedded in its defense forces. Just because you don’t see an aircraft carrier parked in Muscat doesn’t mean Oman is free from Western strings.

And your statement that “U.S. will still attack Iran if they want to” exposes the very defeatist slave mentality I’ve been pointing out. You think power means doing whatever you like with no resistance. But reality shows the opposite: the U.S. invaded Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan because they were weak. They have not dared invade Iran in 40+ years because they know Iran will hit back and make them bleed. That is deterrence. That is exactly why nuclear capability matters — it raises the cost of aggression beyond what even a superpower is willing to pay.

So keep glorifying slavery as “peace.” Real nations carve dignity from resistance, not from licking boots. Oman may survive quietly on its knees — Iran survives loudly on its feet. And history has always honored those who stood, not those who crawled.
you just go copy and paste from A.l...I Never stated that the iraq invasion of Kuwait was the reason the Bush administration had to invade Iraq.
If the U.S. and NATO's actions in Libya are considered an invasion, then recent U.S./Israeli operations in your almight Iran entering its airspace and striking ground targetscould similarly be viewed as an Invasion.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran At The Crossroads: A Defining Choice by ruggedtimi(m): 11:47pm On Aug 30, 2025
JimRohn:
Your response is shallow and riddled with contradictions. You mention Saudi Arabia and Qatar as “peaceful,” yet conveniently ignore the obvious: they are under the protective shadow of the very powers that plunder the Middle East. Their survival is not due to wisdom or strength, but servitude — they rent out their sovereignty to Washington and London, hosting U.S. bases while paying with oil money. That is not peace; that is subjugation.

As for calling Iran a “terrorist nation,” that is nothing but parroting Western propaganda. Iran has been the single most consistent force resisting Zionist occupation and U.S. imperialism in the region. If defending one’s sovereignty, supporting oppressed Palestinians, and refusing to bow to colonial masters is “terrorism,” then what do you call the U.S. invasion of Iraq that killed over a million people? Or Israel’s daily massacre of civilians in Gaza? Or NATO’s destruction of Libya?

The difference is simple: Saudi Arabia and Qatar chose slavery to survive, while Iran chooses dignity to lead. And history will always honor those who stood with dignity, not those who sold themselves for temporary comfort.
Iraq started the invasion game by invading Kuwait first..There is no U S base in Oman and yet the country is relatively peaceful. With or without a nuclear warhead U.S will still attack Iran if they want to..
