There is no place like home. Japa is a short term delay to a long term solution. Come back and fix your country. That’s the best you can do as a Nigerian.
[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=140285318]“They’re good in bed” – American woman praises Igbo men, reveals her experience dating Nigerians
An American woman has shared her experience dating Nigerian men, revealing that she is typically attracted to Yoruba men but would choose an Igbo man if she had to marry outside the Yoruba culture.
Speaking in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman said she has dated Nigerian men for about eight years and described Igbo men as hardworking, kind and caring towards their wives.
In her words, she said:
“After dating Nigerian men for at least the last eight years, I’m typically attracted to Yoruba men, but if I had to choose another man from another tribe, I’m gonna choose Igbo every time. Okay, I’m gonna choose Igbo, I’m not gonna lie. Like, Igbo men are amazing.”
She further praised Igbo men for their treatment of women, saying they are willing to listen to their partners and maintain mutual respect in relationships.
She also spoke about intimacy, claiming that Igbo men are attentive lovers who are willing to listen and respond to their partners’ bedroom needs.
“Igbo men, they are hard workers. Igbo men, they are very kind, very sweet to you, they take care of their wives, the respect is mutual between you and the man. Igbo men, they’re usually really great at sex.
And if you have any problem with Igbo men in the bedroom, they’re willing to listen to you. They’re not selfish lovers. Igbo men are the best,” she added.
Her comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians agreeing with her observations while others argued that individual character should not be determined by tribe.
The American woman concluded by saying Igbo culture is the only other Nigerian culture she would have considered marrying into.

Omooba77: BVAS Was Procured With Android 10, Upgrading It Could Require Hardware Changes And Slow Down the System - Bayode
Apart from the security features of Android 10, we also have our own security system. The BVAS devices were procured with Android 10 in 2021, and their specifications were designed to run efficiently on that version. Upgrading to a higher Android version would require upgrading several other components, including the RAM and other hardware, to ensure the devices continue to perform efficiently without slowing down the system.

Useless post . Most Nigerian Youths, like their forefathers love urgent temporal satisfaction at the expense of tomorrow’s legacies.
You’re enjoying NELFUND with no job guarantees after graduation. The government whose policies have crippled the economy and relegated many potential startups to “beg-ups” is now steering you to “borrow-ups”. They borrow without accountability. You borrow and pay the price for it against the odds of an obscured economic / financial future. Education in this part of the world rarely liberates the mind. It fills the belly.
FreeStuffsNG: Iran war casualty count eclipses 600 as Pentagon quietly changes accounting
The Pentagon updated its war casualty database Saturday, recording more than 140 additionally wounded and restoring the four soldiers killed due to Iranian strikes last weekend amid questions about a lack of transparency over the war’s toll.
The Defense Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS, also featured a new tracking category — “Overseas Operations” — for killed and wounded “starting July 7.”
When the new Pentagon data is combined with updated totals for Operation Epic Fury, 18 troops have died and another 624 have been wounded since the US launched its war against Iran on Feb. 28. The number of wounded is a significant increase from the previous peak of 482 observed by CNN last week.
The Pentagon drew scrutiny from media outlets and lawmakers last week when killed and wounded numbers decreased in the DCAS system as Iranian attacks continued. The 12 Democratic lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday requesting answers on what was causing the changes.
The Defense Department’s acting press secretary, Joel Valdez, insisted in a Thursday social media post that the decreases were due to “temporary data disruptions on the (DCAS) website.” CNN observed data glitches that led to fluctuating casualty totals when monitoring the DCAS site on a minute-by-minute basis last week.
On Friday, CNN asked the Pentagon for more details about the data interruption, but the department neither acknowledged nor responded to the inquiry as of Sunday afternoon.
Beyond the July 7 starting date, the new “overseas operation” category on the DCAS site does not include any distinguishing details or specify the conflict in which the casualties occur, and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to questions seeking clarification on what the category covers. The category features a by-name list of fallen troops, though, that includes the three Army soldiers killed in Jordan due to an Iranian strike and the soldier killed in northern Iraq last weekend during a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone.[b]
The July 7 date coincides with when President Donald Trump claimed a new conflict with Iran began in a War Powers notification the administration sent to Congress earlier this month. (The War Powers Act of 1973 requires the president to end military operations within 60 days unless authorized by Congress to continue; the Trump administration argued that the April ceasefire with Iran stopped the clock on May 1 for the conflict’s initial period.)
Lawmakers of both parties have argued against the administration’s interpretation of the War Powers clock, though some analysts and officials contend that the act itself represents an unconstitutional limit on presidential war-making authority. Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued the law is “unconstitutional, 100 percent” during a May press briefing at the White House.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said to Hegseth during a July 21 hearing that she is “concerned” the administration is circumventing Congress through the ceasefire clock reset.
“The claim essentially allows the president to extinguish the War Powers clock just at the moment that it becomes legally inconvenient … avoiding the congressional authorization that the Constitution requires and the War Powers (Act) intends,” she said.
Rapmoney: Have you ever wondered why you were taught in English during your primary school days, secondary school days, and university days, but you are still required to write IELTS or TOEFL to gain admission to study in most western countries? Have you ever wondered why you are required to obtain extra foreign qualifications as a teacher to work in the UK, Canada, Australia, and the United States? It is because speaking standard English is required for such endeavours.
Some people might say '...but some people speak bad English over there'. Yes, but not in a formal setting. An educational institution operates in a formal setting, and teaching is a profession that requires standard English in those countries.
Today, we shall be looking at:
1. STAIRS/STEPS: If they are inside, they are called stairs, but if they are outside, they are called steps.
2. FLOOR/GROUND: If it is inside, it is called floor, but if it is outside, it is called ground.
3. HALLWAY/PATH: If it is inside, it is called a hallway, but if it is outside, it is called a path.
4. DOOR/GATE: If it is inside, it is called a door, but if it is outside, it is called a gate.
I hope you have learnt something today.
No 1 is misleading. Staircase can be indoors or outdoors. Steps are the raised pavement or frames that guarantees a manual lift or transition between different floors or platforms within or outside the building. Staircase is the steps and banisters all put together as a unit. See illustration below.
nothingspoil70: You can not compare the security situation in Ghana with that of Nigeria. The Nigerian leader just like his American counterpart needs more protection than that of Ghana
Security wise you’re now comparing Nigeria to America. Accountability wise, you would shift the goal post and say Nigeria is still coming up. Development wise you would shift the goal post again and say US is older than Nigeria.
This video, presented by a former combat fighter pilot, analyzes a major U.S. military operation conducted against **Iran’s coastal defensive network** in the *Strait of Hormuz* between July 12th and July 15th, 2026. The U.S. strategy aimed to dismantle Iran's ability to monitor, threaten, and potentially close this vital maritime chokepoint.
**Key Strategic Components:**
* **The Island Fortress Network (0:00 - 12:12, 27:01 - 27:40):** Iran had long transformed islands like *Greater Tunb*, *Lesser Tunb*, and *Abu Musa* into "stationary aircraft carriers" equipped with cruise missiles, radar, and air defense batteries. On July 15th, 2026, the U.S. executed three waves of daylight strikes, systematically destroying these storage bunkers, launch sites, and surveillance facilities. * **The "Mosquito Fleet" & Asymmetric Warfare (6:33 - 9:18, 16:25 - 18:31):** A central focus of the analysis is the IRGC’s "mosquito fleet"—thousands of high-speed attack boats designed to swarm vessels and disrupt shipping. To counter this, the U.S. deployed *A-10 Thunderbolt II* aircraft for low-altitude, persistent firepower and *AH-64 Apache* gunships for precision anti-boat engagement. * **Autonomous Sea Drone Debut (12:50 - 16:24, 27:41 - 27:51):** A landmark moment occurred on July 12th, 2026, when three *Seronic Corsair* unmanned surface vessels autonomously navigated into the *Bandar Abbas* naval base and destroyed a *Ghadir-class* submarine undergoing maintenance. This marked the first recorded autonomous maritime combat strike in U.S. history. * **Economic Enforcement (18:31 - 19:56, 27:54 - 28:01):** The U.S. reimposed a naval blockade, physically enforcing it by firing *Hellfire* missiles into the smoke stacks of non-compliant tankers, signaling to the global shipping industry that the waterway is being actively secured.
**Strategic Conclusion:**
While the U.S. has achieved significant degradation of Iranian infrastructure, the video notes that the conflict remains high-stakes (23:41 - 25:55). Despite the loss of key assets and commanders, Iran continues to challenge the U.S. presence, leaving the ultimate success of these operations dependent on whether commercial shipping and insurance markets return to normal as the threat is reduced.

Useless post. He’s reverted on his initial stance of arresting Bibi. You no hear that one. Na the old stale one you come post here.
When it suits you guys, you talk about blasphemy and uphold Shariah. When it’s against you, you play the victim and hold on to human rights and the democratic provisions.
This is because no lady has the capacity to love a man. Every lady has only the capacity to be submisive to a man and not love. Ladies love without submission is a waste.
Finally my love for any of them will be dependent on her submission
Razzness: The same doctrine is the reason they haven't won a single war since World War 2 (which they joined after the allied forces have done much of the heavy lifting).
Any country that believes one soldier is worth more than a 100-million-dollar war machine is doing a clown show. This is just the brutal reality of war, if you don't want to lose soldiers stay at home.
The phrase here is “military doctrine “. If you think it’s useless, then you already know too much..,more than learning can offer. That’s a “memory full” problem.
Pacesetter123: See as Ivan Toney,Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka dey combine ball for front dey play well. They are cutting French defence into pieces. You get plenty attackers for bench, you no bring them to come play ball, you go park 5 defenders to come defense no.n.se.ns.e. No be 4 goals wey unah score so? Unah want tell me say nah Argentina better pass France? This u.s.e.less winning wey una win France so pain me for body pass the losing wey unah lose give Argentina. In short make I go sleep leave this unah irrelevant match sef
Someone who knows this guy should pay close attention to him before he goes for a rope and a sitting stool.
LZAA: If you knew what you were talking about you would know that Enugu and Benue apart from sharing borders also share blood ties but no your childish tribalism will not let you see front The same Enugu 2face and Blackface went to poly in See ehn Dem suppose give una chairman Mao treatment Smh
You’re joking. Leave Benue State, let’s talk about Ebonyi that was carved out from Enugu and Abia State, having boundaries with Benue, Cross River, Abia and Enugu..,
Don’t most of you igbos ( from Anambra especially,) discriminate against your Ebonyi brothers? I have heard a lot of Igbo guys refer to their Ebonyi brothers as the abokis of the south east. They look down on Abakaliki boys who mostly, are less arrogant and more accommodating than most of you who claim to be the main igbos.
Leave Benue having boundaries with Enugu. It’s a geopolitical phenomenon and has nothing to your credit or benevolence.
Talk about your own Ebonyi brothers and how you treat them.
owobokiri: Get over it.. My cousin have tried to be recruited by Rangers for years but they never signed him. He is at Enugu as we speak, and he is a full blooded igbo btw. ..
That you became a good player later in life, doesn't mean you were good at the time you were with them. Rangers as a club has helped lots of non igbo players to the top.. As at today, a lot of their players and recent managers are not even igbos.
Taribo West is not igbo, he played for Rangers and became a Super Eagles player. The list is endless. Yall should get off the igbo mans dikc.. And to Moses and his cat legs..,Make we hear word ahbegi..
Most of you guys, whenever your tribe is mentioned, blood stop’s flowing to your brain and pumps to parts of the body that never helps in vivid reasoning.
That guy is from Benue state, what gain does an average Benue man derive from tribalism? A people with good reputation for hospitality and treating strangers even more importantly than themselves
In as much as there could be few exceptions based on individual differences, the average Benue man by statistics, has an open arms to other tribes than an average Igbo man.
Refuting this guy’s claim like he’s out of his mind is what makes you stink. You weren’t there with him when it happened..,and yes Taribo played for Rangers, so what? does that make it impossible for management to employ new hands with different dispositions or perceptions
Even if a new president from the East shows up today and develops Nigeria infrastructure-wise to the level of Japan these kind of tribalistic mindsets will never make the system work. Many of you guys accuse the Yorubas of what you equally are.
If you like finish one bag of kola nuts 🌰 and spit wise proverbs like the ancestors. That kind of wisdom would never develop your community into a modern day sophisticated hub like America, Japan, Korea or China. It only keep you tied to your roots and blind to the realities beyond your physical and mental boundaries.
I know you would come up to start mentioning igbos who are doing well in diaspora. That’s bullshit. Tell them to go home and build a working system. That’s the true wisdom and smartness we’re talking about.
You guys should learn to keep an open mind whenever your tribe is mentioned, so you can think clearly and objectively.
AccidentedCars: You will find love without money, but only when you're a boy. When you become a man, that grace is taken from you.
There's a level of affection you will NEVER experience, even from good women, if you can't afford a basic, livable income.
I am not even referring to sending money in its monetary form. I mean just the things that make life easier to go through.
My partner had a job interview in another city last year. Not a local thing – a real opportunity, the kind that could shift her career.
The interview was at 9 AM on a Monday.
She told me about it on Thursday evening.
By Friday morning, I had booked her a bus ticket for Sunday, reserved a decent hotel room near the venue so she wouldn't be scrambling on Monday morning, and sent her money for a new blouse because the one she planned to wear had a pulled thread she hadn't noticed.
She did her prep on Saturday. I sat on a video call with her for nearly 3 hours while she practiced her answers. Not because she asked – because I knew she was nervous and wouldn't say it.
Sunday evening she got to the city. She called me from the hotel room.
"Babe, it's clean. There's hot water. I feel like a human being."
That sentence hit me differently.
"I feel like a human being."
The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident.
She got the role.
This isn't a one-off. This is just what being present looks like when you can afford to be.
I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house.
I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point.
I can't stand the heat. I physically cannot function when it's 35 degrees inside. So if I can't take it, how can I let her sit in it? That's fuel money. Every single day when there's no grid power. 5 to 7 litres. Daily. Especially when she's staying over.
We don't do "let's manage." We don't trek to places. It's always a cab or a keke at minimum.
That's not luxury. That's what I consider basic.
Add it up over a year:
Fuel for the generator. Transport every weekend. Groceries restocked every week. Subscriptions renewed every month. Random needs – a drug she needs at midnight, airtime when her line runs out during something important, data when she's on deadline.
That sums up to well over 2 million naira each year. And I'm not talking about MONEY sent as money. I am just referring to basic convenience.
The things that make a woman feel like she's with someone who has capacity. Not wealth. CAPACITY.
Your best bet as a young man is waiting until you're certain that love is ALREADY present before following through with generosity.
So yes, you can find love without money.
But there's a level of love you cannot preserve without financial stability, not because your partner is a bad girl, but simply because this is the fucking planet, and the nuances that make life beautiful, or at least livable, are expensive.
In summary, you'll find love without money as I did all through the years when I was a boy.
That grace is removed when you become a man.
Lemme ask you a question. Peller has money. Is he a “man”?
My wedding was scheduled for March this year, but everything changed after my fiancé's father passed away unexpectedly in November.
His funeral was held just three weeks later, in December. I genuinely wanted to attend, but there was one major problem: my employer had a strict policy against granting leave during the December holiday period. When I accepted the job, this condition was clearly stated. Despite explaining my situation and pleading for an exception, my request was denied.
I informed my fiancé immediately. At first, he appeared understanding. I even contributed financially to support the funeral arrangements.
Then his mother called.
She told me that if I truly wanted to become part of their family, I had to be physically present at her husband's funeral. I tried explaining my circumstances, but she ended the call before I could finish.
When I called my fiancé afterward, I expected him to stand by me. Instead, he asked:
"If it were your own father, wouldn't you find a way to attend?"
I explained that the situations were different because my employer might make an exception if it were my immediate family member.
That was when he dropped the bombshell:
"No presence. No wedding."
I thought grief was speaking. I thought time would calm him down.
I was wrong.
The wedding was officially cancelled.
My family tried everything to reconcile the situation, but his family refused every attempt. Eventually, my father advised me to accept the loss and move forward with my life.
It broke me, but I did.
Months passed.
Then, on May 20th, my ex-fiancé called me.
What he said left me speechless.
According to him, I had failed the test of being a good wife because I stopped trying to convince his family after the wedding was cancelled. He said a "real wife" would have kept begging until she was accepted.
Then he announced that he had "forgiven" me.
Not only that, he had already chosen a new wedding date in August and expected me to start preparing immediately.
As if the breakup had never happened.
As if my feelings didn't matter.
As if he alone had the authority to decide when a relationship ends—and when it resumes.
Without hesitation, I told him I was no longer interested.
His response shocked me even more.
He said:
"I'm not done. You don't have the right to be done."
I blocked his number immediately.
But that wasn't the end.
A few days later, he appeared at my father's house carrying the bride price and all the marriage items he had previously rejected.
My father told him clearly:
"My daughter has moved on. As far as this family is concerned, she is no longer available."
Still, he refused to accept it.
Since then, he and his mother have continued calling, visiting, and pressuring both me and my family despite my repeated refusal.
Now I'm beginning to wonder:
Is this really about love, or is there something deeper behind their sudden determination?
What troubles me most is the mindset that someone can cancel a wedding, disappear for months, return when it suits them, and expect another person to simply obey.
I am now considering legal action because the constant calls, visits, and refusal to respect my decision are becoming disturbing.
My question is:
If someone ends a relationship, then later decides to "forgive" you and resume the wedding without your consent, would you see that as love... or as a dangerous sense of entitlement?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Now this is the hard truth no one here is telling you. Divide that story to 2 parts;
1. You couldn’t stake your job for the burial of your father-in-law to be. That was a litmus test to check if you’ll prioritize career over family.
2. They came back for you, which actually is so absurd. This is the part that makes you feel like you were right and they were wrong.
Walk away from him. No one goes back to his vomit. His mother has a strong influence on him. You could be worse off when you become a mother-in-law too.
Now lastly, go back to that no. 1
Some men hate the idea of a home being shaped and conditioned by their partner’s career. A woman’s greatest currency, as long as marriage is concerned, is not her money but her virtues. Next time you find yourself in a similar situation with a potential spouse to be , Remember that family is everything. If you have one, cherish it. If you’re about to build one, don’t build it with sticks but with principles and core values
obembet: You finally get the chance to go on an important date with your long-time crush, but just as you step out in public, something unexpected happens, what would you do?
Source: Obembe Tosin
I’ll brush it off with handkerchief and spirit and move on for the date. What just happened will be a test for the girl in question. If she passes that test, there’s the wife for me. A woman who’s inclined to be a great mother and a wife will adore you for not making much ado of a baby’s mess. If it’s poo, it’s a different thing altogether.
timidapsin: There’s a question trending online right now, and at first glance it looks simple… but the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it gets.
Imagine this:
Blue Button: If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives..
Red Button: If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive.
Which will you pick?
In Nigeria, almost everyone will go for the red button. In The West almost everyone will go for the blue button.
One has a strong for self satisfaction and consumption even at the expense of others.
The other has a strong sense of obligation and responsibility that whatever becomes of his environment or community is based on his input and decisions.
This is the difference between Africans and Americans.
