What happened to the ones already in the army?

Are they all dead? Thought they lost only 50 soldiers with 15 slightly injured?
Lolzz. Thousands of those baby-killers have already been sent to their maker.

I only pity the so-called reservists who would willingly sacrifice their lives to ensure the crazed Polish Jew extends his blood-soaked regime for a while.

Daft post!

Crude oil alone, Nigeria has 36 billion barrels proven reserves. That alone is worth $2trillion.

We have not started to talk about land, gas, gold and other minerals.

Such a daft ignorant post.
Very annoying post I tell you.

Net worth does not mean cash. Tell Elon to show you 1bn in his account.
Finally! Someone who understands. "Paper Wealth" is different from actual wealth. The valuation of his wealth is almost solely based on his stocks and valued worth of his companies.

This means within the span of 2-3 days, he can go from over $300Bn to $250M if the worth of his stocks crashes. Aside Bill Gates that has cold hard billions in his account, most of those billionaires can hardly boast of $200M cash in their account.

When it comes to actual cash, Elon cannot even rank 1-10,000 globally. Only if people know the mind-boggling cash that some people have hidden in various places.
Romance › Re: Should I Marry Her Now Or Let Her Go? I’m Not Ready Financially by Saladdin:
val4sure:
Let me advice you bro, I was in your shoe some years ago, exact same story, I also create a post for it here, seeking nairaland advice.

For your own sanity and future, if the pressure is becoming too much on you, please let her go. Starting a family is no joke, it involves 100% finance, you need to keep your finances in order before considering marriage.

I understand her own plight, age is no longer on her side, but if she can't wait for you, please don't get pressured into marriage when you are not ready for it.

You guys are not in the same space, if you marry her by pressure, you may regret it, you still have a long way to go man, just free her and focus on your grind.

Young man, you will be able to meet your financial goal on time if you got no pressure of marriage from anybody, so if the pressure is getting too much on you, please free her. I know it won't be easy but you will thank me later.

I dey speak from experience
@ Val, your post brims with wisdom and it was enjoyable to read.

I'm sure you didn't regret your decision. How did it later went with that lady, and how did you navigated the whole issue?
Foreign Affairs › Re: Rat Infestation Disrupts UK Nuclear Plant Construction by Saladdin: 11:29am On Apr 28, 2025
Only in the UK could the mighty ambitions of nuclear power be humbled by a bunch of rats. Imagine His Majesty’s Government, with all its pomp, prestige, and powdered wigs, pouring billions into "energy security" just to be sabotaged by some overfed, tea-sipping rodents. Maybe next time, instead of sending out press releases about "Global Britain," they should just send for a Pied Piper.

You know things are grim when rats are making faster progress on a nuclear site than the actual contractors. It's almost poetic: centuries of empire-building, naval dominance, and scientific achievement... and in 2025, it's undone by creatures whose greatest ambition is gnawing through a power cable.

At this rate, maybe the government should just grant the rats an infrastructure contract. I guessed they’d probably finish the job ahead of schedule and under budget compared to whatever bureaucratic farce is running it now.

Wow. One or two reports from a far-flung LGA (over 6 hours from Ilorin), and you in the capital are already thinking of relocating. Except maybe your job is remote or something, this is pure cowardice.

God forbid you hear any other report of such from a South Western state, would you relocate again? No bastard is entering any forest reserve abeg.

I won't be surprised if you think and believe that bandits casually roam the cities in NW and NE.

⚡Iran is expected to reject a U.S. proposal to transfer its highly enriched uranium stockpile to a third country—like Russia—as part of efforts to curb its nuclear program.
The clowns in Washington and Tel-Aviv still overestimate their prowess and diplomacy. They're even starting to become victims of their own lies and arrogance too.

They believe everyone will swallow their craps hook, line and sinker. Whereas nearly every country now has little to zero confidence in the integrity of the US.

When they give a good show of faith by inviting the UN to inspect the Israeli Nuclear program and subsequently the latter transfers their warheads to the USA, only them may countries still believe in their integrity.

Of course it won't happen, so there'll be zero chances of Iran giving up their program too.

The shalaye from Iran is becoming too much. By now as a serious nation, they ought to have ALL US tier-one cities plus Tel-Aviv and Paris in their sight, with tens of nuclear warhead ready to detonate within seconds. Only then will all these bullshit talks from the US and allies end.

Those who killed children, women, men, bomb hospitals & public places and desecrate the Holy Land at will cannot be trusted to uphold their end of the bargain.

Those savages are more animal-like (or even much lower) than humans in their behavior. Heck even animals don't hunt each other with as much hatred as observed from those "Jews" and their supporters.

What I'm saying is that the wannabe-jews from Europe cannot be trusted. Anyways it's only a matter of time before they get disgracefully chased off from the Holy Land to their cold, dreary enclaves in Europe.
Nairaland General › Re: Man Shares Message He Received From An Ingrate He Gave Money by Saladdin: 5:34pm On Apr 15, 2025
Socratiz:
I have discovered that you just have to decide that you'd be a good person in his life whether you're appreciated or not.

Let me share my experience.

There's this guy who's a graduate teaching in one primary school where he was being payed 20k per month in the village. His mum is a friend to my wife.

We just thought about the woman and the son and my wife suggested we try to help. So we asked him to come to Lagos.

He lived with us for 7 months before we got him a job with one of the big 4 by God's grace. After 5 months he moved out closer to their office.

Now this guy doesn't bother to say Hi when we meet in church. He just throws away his face and avoids us.

Not that anyone expects a worship if they have been good to you but please show that you appreciate their sacrifice.

Please stop this sense of entitlement.

You lose nothing by acknowledging those who have been good to you.

Even God expects that you say "Thank you" when he blesses you.
This is very painful. I wouldn't be surprised if the same person starts spreading tales about you and your family.

These days, you'll hardly help people with out regretting it almost instantly. For those telling others not to expect as much as a simple thanks are just being unrealistic.
Nairaland General › Re: Man Shares Message He Received From An Ingrate He Gave Money by Saladdin:
Racoon:
When offering help, don't be fixated on being thanked or otherwise. Let love in doing something good be a sacrificial thing.
This is the ideal standard bro. But we are humans, and we mostly look forward to appreciation in any form. Gratefulness beautifies our character as humans.

God Almighty himself wants to receive thanks for the bounties he gives us, not to talk of
a mere human. Notice that a lot of the commenters where not explicitly expecting praise, but the show ungratefulness still hurts them somehow.

If someone is thankful to God and the people, he'll regularly receive more. But if you're the ungrateful type, even on the your deathbed, many would never want to help you again.

It was no award bro.
Who gives award during war time? Especially at a town or region at the front line. Why not in kiev far away from the war front.
It is just a cover. Those were military men gathered to plan how to attack from the sumy region and relate the plans to their individual divisions.
They only used civilians as a shield and cover
Exactly, they only changed narrative when they were caught. Russia would not hesitate to destroy any tactical military planning against them.

These people don't know that Russia and the US have unmatched Intel system. I believe those killed were majorly a combo of some of Ukraine's commanders and NATO military instructors.
Health › Re: Pregnant Woman And Unborn Child Die After Hospital Allegedly Demands ₦500,000 by Saladdin: 8:55am On Apr 13, 2025
spiceadole:
Calm down.
I have been reading your comments and I agreed with you until this.

I have 3 children.
1st pregnancy was a single birth.. Vaginal delivery
2nd pregnancy..a set of twins.C/S
My husband and I are medical doctors.
I worked all through both pregnancies and saved up money for MY delivery.
I only started maternity leave 3 weeks before my EDD.
Men are naturally very selfish people.

A reasonable woman should not put her hope on a man.
If women know how much their husbands hate them for real,they will love themselves more.
Husband is just waiting for you to die so he can marry a new wife.
Madam, with all due respect, I think you should be the one to calm down a bit more.

It is very obvious that you had a difficult and painful experience especially as a pregnant woman in NIGERIA having to save for her own delivery. At the very least, you should have been well-taken care of. That man is really selfish. It is a personality flaw and has little to do with his finances.

But I must say that your situation, as unfortunate as it is, should not be used as a blanket narrative for all men or marriages. It's not right and insulting to the vast responsible men in Nigeria.

That you married a selfish husband does not mean all men are the same. That is your personal reality, not the universal one. And truthfully, it sounds like you married a very unsuitable man. But that should not lead to the conclusion that “men are naturally selfish” or that most husbands hate their wives. That is a dangerous generalization.

I personally know, and I’m surrounded by men who take pride in taking care of their wives and families. I'm not talking about a performative or one-time thing. This is something that has been going on for decades. These men, many of whom are well-to-do, have stay-at-home wives, and they still shoulder all responsibilities joyfully, providing allowance, support, love, and emotional care. These women GLOW!

So if you’re consistently encountering selfish men, perhaps there’s something wrong in the kind of people you’re attracted to, or accepting. (I'll not be surprised if you're giving off the strong woman vibes too). But to project that onto all men is unfair to the countless husbands who are loving, supportive, and committed to their wives' well-being.

So please, your experience, while valid, is not the norm. And it shouldn’t be weaponized against men in general.

Thanks.

You better get more creative before your paymasters fire you. Palestine is an identity created by the British just like they did to Nigeria. The native population had always been there before they brought in the European marauders who started laying claims to the land. A land in the middle east does not belong to the middle east but to a bunch of central and eastern Europeans. Make it make sense!

I won't be surprised that they know some of the move that China will pull especially when the alarm is coming from the country that invented currency manipulation, printed trillions in stimulus, and has weaponized the dollar more times than it’s defended democracy abroad.

Everyone now knows that your obsession with tariffs will only boomerang. Want higher prices on electronics, clothing, and machinery? Congratulations, you just taxed your own people while pretending to punish China. U.S. manufacturers will choke on inflated supply costs, and the average American household will feel the burn at the checkout line, not in Beijing.

So before Secretary Bessent throws any more rocks, he might want to check if his house is built with glass, because economic short-sightedness like this is a guaranteed way to break every window in the house of U.S. commerce.

They are not military allies if Iran want to be protected it will invite Russia or China to build it military bases in their country that is when they will be protected by strength not by economy
He who is down, needs fear no fall; He who is low, has no pride—John Bunyan. At this point, Iran has little to lose and ought to have completed their nuclear enrichment.

The best form of protection for Iran is building Nuclear weapons in their 100s and not building foreign bases in their soil. Except there's something Iran is not telling the world, I still find it surprising as to why they back down from building Nuclear weapons. It's just annoying.

By now, I expected them to have tens of nuclear warheads at standby, aimed at their enemies' major cities across the world and ready to fire at a moment's notice. I'm sure if Trump knows that New York, San Francisco, Washington, Houston, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Tel-Aviv are just minutes away from being turned to Nuclear Wastelands, he'd have toned-down the arrogance.

Both countries would feel the impact. The US is not the Alpha and Omega in everything and they'll be severely hit.

You need to understand that cheap labour is only one piece in the puzzle.

Have you considered the fact that China has the most complete and integrated supply chain in the world, especially in sectors like electronics, textiles, automotive, and machinery. No other country comes close and would come close in many years to come regardless of how the Billions in USD poured into them.

Also, for a country producing nearly 30% of the world's output, well both agree that hurting them in any way comes with serious consequences.

Plus, those countries you mentioned, especially Vietnam, and Mexico have substantial Chinese investments in their manufacturing sector. In essence, lots of goods coming from them are "Chinese" in everything except the place of production.

There's nothing "idiotic" about China, Trump is just grasping a straws. Like I mentioned earlier, every reasonable person wants China to triumph, that way the US would be put in their place.

China is the reason most Africans now own a smartphone and use sophisticated gadgets.
