Some of these celebrities are truly dumb. First of all, we have all forgotten about it, you then grant an interview and talk about it again.
Then you set a needless challenge: how its no longer available on the internet (when even a js1 student knows, nothing goes away on the net) https://www.kenyaadultblog.com/tiwa-savage-sex-tape-leaked-online/
You are wrong, OBJ experienced lower oil output than any president in this 4th republic go and do a fact check
The only low oil output cam le between 2015 and. 2016 and not all a through that period. You guys should not dish out fake news at all. The current president has had bountiful harvest when it comes to oil price all through his current tenure.
Check the data below and see the time of Obj compare them to others especially buhari and Tinubu as you asserted from your oil price outlook during that period and change that perception of giving them escueses when another experienced worse conditions but performed excellently well.
It's not about oil output...it is about the fall of the naira wey I dey talk about.
Naira was falling under Obj regime. Even before OBJ took over, naira was falling then (people have been complaining of weak naira since the 80's...and as at 1989, one dollar was six naira, lol...and everyone , including government was saying it was weak).
MY point is, uniess we make industry the basis of our economy, naira will always be weak.
Chris Oyakhilome: Nigerian pastor pushing malaria vaccine conspiracy theories
Dressed in his signature closed-neck suit, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome stared directly into the camera, declaring that "there was never a proof that vaccines ever worked".
Everyone had been "lied to" about vaccination, he said in the sermon broadcast on his church's YouTube channel in February.
Known as "Pastor Chris", the sixty-year-old is one of Africa's best-known evangelical preachers.
The BBC has reviewed dozens of his sermons from 2023 and 2024 and found that he has been spreading anti-vaccine messages to his followers, specifically targeting the new malaria vaccine as it is being distributed in African countries.
Malaria is a huge problem in Africa. About 95% of malaria-related deaths occurred on the continent in 2022, with children under five accounting for around 80% of the deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
In the last six months, Pastor Oyakhilome's company has also produced at least five 20-minute anti-vaccine documentaries broadcast in church services or shared on his video streaming platform, evading social media companies' policies against anti-vaccine content.
The announcement last year of the rollout of a vaccine against malaria - after decades of trying - was hailed by experts as a major achievement that could save tens of thousands of lives.
According to the UN children's agency, Unicef, successful pilot vaccine campaigns since 2019 in Kenya, Ghana and Malawi caused a 13% drop in the deaths of children of eligible age.
But medical experts fear the influential pastor's far-reaching sermons might negatively affect vaccine take-up in Africa.
In August last year, he warned in a sermon of "an evil agenda that has been long in the making".
He then spread a conspiracy theory popular in the anti-vaccine community - that vaccines are a way of "depopulating the world".
He also falsely said that "malaria was never a problem to those in Africa".
"Spreading false information about vaccines, especially from influential figures like religious leaders, can contribute to the perpetuation of myths and misconceptions, further fuelling vaccine hesitancy.
"This can have devastating consequences for public health, particularly in the WHO African region where vaccine-preventable diseases occur frequently," a WHO spokesperson said.
Pastor Oyakhilome's remarks were included as one of the disinformation trends "to watch" ahead of the malaria vaccine rollout in a report released in March by the WHO-backed The Africa Infodemic Response Alliance.
We asked the pastor about his statements against vaccination through his company's and church's e-mails. We did not receive a response.
He founded the Christ Embassy church in Nigeria's main city, Lagos, in the 1990s and went on to amass hundreds of thousands of followers around the world.
In 2011, he was featured in Forbes magazine as one of Nigeria's richest pastors with an estimated net worth of $30m to $50m (£24m to £40m).
According to the magazine, the pastor's diverse business interests included newspapers, magazines, a local television station, a record label, satellite TV, hotels and extensive real estate.
His empire, named LoveWorld Inc, has since grown. It now includes a streaming service, a messaging app with over a million downloads on Google's app store and a microfinance bank.
Once a week, Pastor Oyakhilome preaches at the church's huge camp ground in Asese, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
When the BBC visited the church last November, hundreds of pastors from different nationalities filled its auditorium for an annual conference. Flags of dozens of countries were displayed inside.
His "massive online teachings and healing services" have a global attendance of "7 billion people", according to the Christ Embassy's website - this is highly unlikely given that the planet's population is estimated at eight billion.
Winnifred Ikhianosin, 25, is a regular at the church. She told the BBC she refuses to take vaccines.
"The man of God told us," she said. "And I have also done my research."
According to Ada Umenwaliri, associate director of the African Studies Centre at the US-based University of North Carolina, Pastor Oyakhilome has a "stronghold on his followers who are looking up to him".
"Pastors and religious leaders will always play a significant role in the choices their followers make," she added.
But poverty and the lack of health infrastructure in Africa could enable churches to have a greater hold over people when it came to vaccination, she said.
In an article published on the Nigerian news site, The Cable, last year, writer Julius Ogunro, who attended the pastor's church for over a decade, said: "We need to sound the alarm now. The agenda [that] Pastor Chris is pushing is potentially dangerous and has nothing to do with the Christian faith."
One name is repeated frequently by Pastor Oyakhilome: Bill Gates. The billionaire is one of the malaria vaccine's biggest backers, but has also been subject to vaccination conspiracy theories for years.
In a sermon in August 2023, the pastor broadcast a clip from a TED talk Bill Gates gave in 2010 as an example of "those who have an agenda for depopulation of the world".
While giving a talk on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, Mr Gates said: "First, we've got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15%."
His declaration was taken out of context by Pastor Oyakhilome. Mr Gates did not advocate for the world's depopulation.
He has clarified in the past that he saw population growth and health improvement as complementary: "When health improves, families choose to have less kids."
Mr Oyakhilome also said that the World Mosquito Program facility in Colombia belonged to the Gates Foundation, accusing it of producing genetically modified mosquitoes as a strategy for depopulation.
The mosquito factory, established to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to transmit viruses, belongs to a non-profit group of companies owned by Monash University in Australia, and it has stressed that its method do not involve the use of genetically modified organisms.
Pastor Oyakhilome is no stranger to anti-vaccine disinformation. Recently he has also targeted the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, meant to protect women against cervical cancer.
"They have something else up their sleeve. It's not about cancer," he said during a service aired on 2 September 2023.
Nigeria began the mass vaccination campaign for girls in October 2023 in a bid to drastically reduce cervical cancer rates.
The disease claims the lives of over 8,000 women in Nigeria every year. In 2021, a major study funded by Cancer Research UK found the HPV vaccine was cutting cases of cervical cancer by nearly 90%.
In the past, Pastor Oyakhilome made multiple unfounded claims about anti-tetanus injections, polio vaccines, and other childhood immunisations.
The pastor also falsely stated that the messenger RNA vaccine alters the DNA.
But the vaccine does not alter people's DNA. It takes part of a virus's genetic material - or messenger RNA - to make the immune system learn to recognise it and produce antibodies.
During the Covid pandemic, Pastor Oyakhilome's church received a £125,000 ($155,000) fine from the British media regulator Ofcom.
It said his network Loveworld, broadcast in the UK, showed "misleading and potentially harmful statements about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines".
Mr Ogunro, the writer who left the church, said he was worried about the pastor's influence.
"His claims about vaccination scare me. We need to find a way to regulate preachers like him."
"As president, I have been clear that ransoms stop. Resolution through payment only perpetuates the wider problem. This extortion racket must be squeezed out of existence. Meanwhile, the costs for perpetrators must be raised: They will receive not a dime, and instead security services' counter action," the president said.
President Bola Tinubu has again said his government will put an end to the payment of ransom to kidnappers in the country, vowing, “they will receive not a dime”.
The president stated in an opinion he authored and published in the currentt edition of Newsweek magazine.
It is titled, ” Ten Years Since Chibok—Nigeria Will No Longer Pay the Price.”
This article followed public outcry and remembrance of the 276 Chilbok girls who were kidnapped on 14 April, 2014 in Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists.
About 91 of the girls kidnapped during the administration’s of President Goodluck Jonathan, are still in captivity.
President Tinubu said when in March this year, 137 children were tragically taken from a school in Kaduna, northwestern Nigeria, the shadow of Chibok laid ever present.
According to him, Nigerians and the world asked why after the passage of a decade was such an atrocity still happening.
He said this time, unlike Chibok, the girls and boys were brought back a fortnight later, the security and intelligence agencies deployed immediately to rescue them.
“Nevertheless, legitimate concerns over kidnappings persist in Africa’s most populous country. Success in Kaduna has brought families relief and praise for the military, yet the government bears no illusions: The scourge of kidnappings must be routed once and for all.
“It begins with recognising the changing nature of the threat. Boko Haram translates to “Western Education is Forbidden” and reflects an ideological impetus as jihadi insurgents opposed to the very idea of a Nigerian state.
“Today, Boko Haram are splintered, and mass abductions are primarily the work of criminal gangs. There is no ideology here: kidnapping has become an illegal industry rewarded with ransoms. Within days of the Kaduna attack, the abductors were demanding 1 billion naira ($600,000).
“Nothing was paid. As president, I have been clear that ransoms stop. Resolution through payment only perpetuates the wider problem. This extortion racket must be squeezed out of existence. Meanwhile, the costs for perpetrators must be raised: They will receive not a dime, and instead security services’ counter action,” the president said.
This is the second time President Tinubu would vow not to pay ransom to kidnappers.
In March, PREMIUM TIMES reported that President Tinubu directed that ransom would not be to the kidnappers of 137 students in Kuriga, Kaduna State.
The president spoke through the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.
“Mr President has also directed that no ransom will be paid by government to any of these criminal elements. I think it’s important that this be put out there,” the minister said.
Ten years ago today, 276 girls were abducted in the night from their school in Chibok, northeastern Nigeria. The attack by Boko Haram pricked the conscience of the world. From London to Washington, protesters held placards reading #BringBackOurGirls—the hashtag the girls’ families had posted to pressure their idle government into action. It would take almost three weeks for then-Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan even to make a public announcement. Critical time had been lost.

Meanwhile, the costs for perpetrators must be raised: They will receive not a dime, and instead security services’ counter action.
But compressing the kidnap for ransom market only addresses the pull factors. If we are to avoid funneling the same people into other crimes that cause normal Nigerians to feel insecure, we must address the push factors: poverty, inequality, and a paucity of opportunity. Criminal gangs can find easy recruits among those without either a job, or the prospect of one.
Some 63 percent of Nigerians are multidimensionally poor. They are bearing the economic consequences of a failure by successive governments to get to grip with the Nigerian economy. Fiscal and monetary albatrosses have grounded the country’s flight, when surging demographics demand high economic growth to just maintain current standards of living.
A decades-old fuel subsidy was exhausting paltry public finances. By 2022, the cost had ballooned to $10 billion—more than the government’s combined spending on education, health care, and infrastructure in a budget of $40 billion. Currency controls that artificially propped up the naira deterred investment and led to shortages of foreign exchange. For decades we have been financially ransoming ourselves. When my government took office last May, we faced a pile of debt obligations.
Just as with kidnappers, we had to be tough with the economy. Unsustainable market distortions had to be removed. As expected, floating the naira caused it to plunge. Given Nigeria is a net food importer, the average shopping basket has consequently risen in price. The removal of the fuel subsidy, in a country where many businesses and households rely on generators for power, has also had far reaching effects. These reforms have caused pain across Nigeria; they are still painful. Yet there is no better alternative: These and other difficult reforms are necessary to arrest the economic rot that lies at the heart of insecurity.
Green shoots are now visible. In the first quarter of this year, foreign currency inflows have almost matched those for the whole of last year. A multi-billion forex backlog at the central bank has been cleared, giving foreign investors’ confidence to invest in Africa’s largest economy, safe in the knowledge they can repatriate earnings. The naira has begun to stabilize after its initial downward trend and has made huge gains against the dollar.
talk of macroeconomics might seem remote from the challenge of insecurity. But without the fundamentals in place, it is impossible for an enabling environment where the private sector thrives, jobs are created, and opportunity is spread across the country. It is how we ensure children can go to school without fear.
For any who may have doubted our direction, it should now be clear. There will be no more ransoms paid—not to kidnappers, nor toward those policies which have trapped our people economically. Nigerians, and their economy, will be liberated.

payaseriy: net worth is not what in the bank account. Elon musk doesn't have up to 1 Billion USD in his bank account, but he has shares in companies. In order for him to raise $2 Billion he would have to sell some of his shares first...
But
Diezani has cool cash, oil money in billions of Dollars, all cash, hundreds of bank accounts with millions usd statched away, properties worth billions... That's been rich. maybe more than 500 Billion USD, Try Danjuma too, there is money in this country, you're just not in the right cartel that's why you are not aware.
Naira was way higher than dollar in exchange rate... do you know what devalues currency and causes inflation ?, excess money in circulation.
Some people will just call cbn governor to print 500 Billion Naira privately just like that. Abacha did it, what makes you think the other politicians didn't, but nobody can try that in the United States.
Dave Umahi built a house in Asokoro worth more than 10 Billion Naira. Don't ask me how I know about the cost, anyways, let me tell u. My company handled part of the project.
Once you become a local government chairman in Nigeria, u will never poor again in this life. If you're lucky and become a senator, your children and grandchildren will never be poor. If you become a governor, your descendant will not be poor, if u become a president, your family will never be poor till the end of time.
Your comment is proof that Nigerians are some of the most egocentric individuals you can ever meet on this planet. You really think the rich of Africa can measure up to the rich of other countries in the world? Even Latin America has more billionaires than Nigeria and Africa not to talk of western nations. You’re definitely on crack. No one in Nigeria has up to 50 billion USD whether in cash or assets especially when considering as to how the naira has been devalued in the past decades. What you’re saying is nonsense. Diezani is not even as rich as Dangote not to talk of overseas billionaires. It’s hilarious. Some Nigerians think a couple of fairly affluent neighbourhoods means the country is rich 😂😂
Are you his accountant or something? How do you know how much doesn’t he has in his bank account. You think someone that’s running large multinational tech giants won’t have significant cash. This thread has nothing to do with liquidity. It’s about who has the most wealth. Who is the richest. Not who has the most in the bank account. Point is the likes of Elon Musk, Zuckerberg are around 10-15 times wealthier than the richest African. Naira was like that when it was a fixed currency. When they started floating it. The naira was devalued like it is now. Someone like Elon Musk will definitely have a significant amount of cash on him. Just look at how he bought twitter. He pulled out 20 billion USD in cash to do that. Diezani can’t do that. Neither can even Dangote. Elon Musk could buy everything Diezani has without breaking a sweat.
Buying of Twitter: The funding included $7 billion of senior secured bank loans; $6 billion in subordinated debt; $6.25 billion in bank loans to Musk personally, secured by $62.5 billion of his Tesla stock; $20 billion in cash equity from Musk, to be provided by sales of Tesla stock and other assets; and $7.1 billion in equity from 19 ...
500 billion Naira is not even up to 400 million dollars. A white man in New York gave his wife 1 Billion USD to settle the divorce case. Craziest part is that kind of money is ticket change to him. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/wife-leaves-one-worlds-richest-29589578.amp
Jeff Bezos’s Wife became the richest woman in the world temporarily because of their divorce case. The loss wouldn’t have barely tickled Bezos.
Look I understand that Nigeria and Africa have some very rich individuals but for the most part. They are nowhere as rich as those in developed countries. You really think the likes of Tinubu, Diezani, Dangote, Abacha, Otedola etc are comparable to Musk, Rothschilds, Brin, Bezos, Gates, Buffet etc . Then your not to be taken seriously.

yommen: Ekiti has done quite good in education. In fact, education seems to be a culture to them. They have the highest number of Professors in Nigeria.
Do they also have the highest percentage of children in free government schools with adequate teachers and other staff, especially with the progreTHIEVES in office intermittently
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.
The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.
It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”
Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.
Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close. The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.
But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.
It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/columnist/monday/sam-omatseye/index.1.html
When the white missionaries translated the bible in our languages, they asked our ancestors for the name of the Almighty and they used the names our ancestors had always used for the Almighty and then told us that we did not have a belief in the Supreme.
But we now know that our priests were no less wise in their observations than the Greek sophists, the Hebrew prophets, the Arab ulema, or the Chinese literati.
Our ancestors believed in pluralism without hierarchy --- many expressions of God without saying mine is right, or the only one, and yours is bad, pagan, and heathen. Perhaps had we done that we would have stopped the alien religions at the shore, but we are the world's first humanists and we allowed others to come with their goods and their gods.
They came with a political ideology in the name of religion. It was imperialism. Imperialism brings destruction, obliteration. How could we fall for it for so long? The introduction of a book or a gun caused us to lose our footing, to stumble on our way, to denounce our fathers and mothers.
There are no other people on the earth who have had to denounce their ancestors in order to become better people. Is it because our ancestors are so strong that we are forced to denounce them before our conquerors? This is one thing you shall never find me doing because I know too much about my African contribution to history.
Contributions of Ptare
The first naming of the divine, netcher, god, or netcheru divinity from which some say the English word nature is ultimately derived.
The first trinity: Ausar, Auset, Heru which has been repeated by Amen, Mut, Khonsu and then God, the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. The Christians took out the mother who represented Auset -and gave Christians a virgin Mary, but she was no god. Asase Yaa is Mother Earth, but no one can have a son without a mother.
The first idea of a son of god or a daughter of God. Sa Ra or Sat Ra.
The first black stone altars - long before the Kaaba was revealed at Mecca.
The first example of the resurrection from the dead Ausar. This is also where we find that the Neb Ankh- Lord of Life was not a sarcophagus, that is, not a flesh eater, but something that spoke of life.
The name of god Amen now used by others in their prayers.
The idea that your good should outweigh your evil, that your soul should be lighter than a feather, that perfection is not what is sought after, but overwhelming goodness.
The complementarity of males and females, different roles but not subjugation, Mawu and Lisa, male and female - Auset and Ausar, complementarity.
The first records of ancestors' wisdom. The books of Ptahhotep, Kagemni, Duauf.
The idea of heaven and earth, Nut , Geb, Auset is called, Lady of Heaven.
Here in Africa humans have prayed to God longer than on any other continent. When the pyramids were finished, Europe had given the world not one organized civilization, even Asia was just stirring. Just look at a broad chronology:
2500 B.C. - The African people along the river valleys of the eastern highlands floated stones down the Nile to help build monuments to God.
2500 B.C. - Xia Dynasty rises in China.
2200 B.C. - Harrapa and Mohenjo Daro were found in India.
800 B.C. - Homer is the first voice of the Greeks.
500 B.C. - Romans come to power in Europe.
639 A.D. - Arabs are able to cross into Africa with force under General El As from Arabia-Yemen.
Africans made the idea of the beautiful and the good one word nfr - nefer.
Ptare gave the world its first ethical system: Manse as ritual forms.
The ten commandments were preceded by the 42 confessions in the Egyptian Book of the Dead or more accurately the Egyptian Book of the Coming Forth By Day.
Maat - balance, harmony, justice, righteousness, reciprocity, order - Maat was the only major deity without priesthood since all were priests of Maat.
The idea of eternal life - Ankh neheh was African.
The first libations, offerings and burning of incense.
Ptare gave the idea of collective and communal salvation rather than a rampant individualism which says save me and the rest of the world go to hell.
The Future
All futures are made by human beings. But they begin with consciousness which precedes Afrocentricity. A few days ago I walked into a Kumasi restaurant and found that I could get Ghanaian food only by pre-arranged request. But western food was immediately available. Imported. Are African Gods only on request? We determine this by how we live.
The Wolof of Senegal say wood may remain in water for ten years but it will not become a crocodile. We live Africa by living its tried and true values and customs, and this is a credit to our gods.
Almost all of the disarray in Africa can be traced to the disruption of the traditional religion. In fact, one can go from country to country and find that the cause of the problems can be laid at the feet of alien civilizations. This is not a wild statement; it is based on deep reflection and study.
I believe in the African gods and believe that just as we have exported our cultural forms in music, art and science, the world needs a more sane and sensible ethic.
What Must Be Done
We must talk honestly to our elders --- those who have not abandoned the traditions - consult the priests, learn from them, and discover the source of our problems.
Remove all images of a white Jesus. This is not correct even if one is Christian. The historical Jesus had to be black in colour despite the missionaries' attempt to paint him English and Swedish.
We must believe that our names are as sacred as Arabic or European names.
We must understand that when others extend their values, religion and institutions they are penetrating our traditions with the poison of alien power that teaches us to hate ourselves and to love our oppressors. Meanwhile, they never follow the prescriptions they leave for us.
We must enhance the economic, political and military power of African states because a lack of such power creates self doubt, identity crisis, and a search for the material gods of the west who seem to produce these things. But spirit is greater if we use it and we can only use it if we practice.
We need boldness from our leaders to accomplish this transformation.
The British called Harry Lee the best Englishman east of the British Isles when he finished Oxford. He changed his name, converted to Confucianism and they wondered what happened to him.
He learned Mandarin Chinese and became Lee Kuan Yew, a leader who rejected Western values.
Asians are calling for Confucianism as they emphasize tradition. The Japanese are calling for Nihonjinron, Japanese values.
Why must we be stuck with the attitudes and values of the European, so-called Christian values, particularly since they have shown themselves to be bankrupt on many fronts?
We can achieve our aims not so much by modernizing African traditions as Africanizing modernity itself. We are the modern people. Our ecological values, relationships values, respect for others values are the keys to the future.
Conclusion
I recognize that humans cannot advance without answering some basic questions like, Who Am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of existence? Who are we as humans, Africans, Ghanaians, Gas, Ewe, Guans, Akans, African Americans?
Religion provides compelling answers and often small communities of others who believe like we do. African deities and the Almighty God of Africa do that for us. They give us identity and direction.
We are the children of the Supreme God sustained by our ancestral connections, formed to glorify the best values of Maat, encouraged to assume responsibility for each other in a community of consciousness.
Failure to do this is a deviation, an abomination and we can only re-connect through rites of ablution--- making, doing or sacrificing time, money, energy in the name and interest of Africa. The concept of the gift is the idea, not what we give.
This may change given education, science, sensibility, scarcity, etc., but we need to sacrifice for Africa. But our God must not be one of exploitation, egocentrism, conservatism and westernization. If so, we shall go to hell.
We must create our African personality and identity in art, dance, medicine, education, science, and religion, and if we cannot do it here in the land of Okomfo Anokye, Nkrumah and Du Bois, then it cannot be done in Africa.
If we do not do it here in the land of Yaa Asantewaa, then we can never be the hope of the hopeless.
If Africa cannot find its way, then I fear the prospects of the world.
But Africa will rise to throw off the vestiges of mental enslavement, and there shall be rejoicing among the Nananom nsamanfo. The ancestors will say: Rejoice! Rejoice! Let the Gods of Africa Rejoice! ......

Usefulsense: Last year, I sought the opinion of Nairalanders concerning my plan to move to Australia. My major worry was my age (48) and also considering that my net salary in Nigeria was a little over a million Naira per month as the financial controller of a manufacturing company in Onitsha.
Below is the link to the thread I opened to seek peoples advice and I recommend that you go through the thread to fully appreciate the story that follows. Can you please talk about the one dark side, I really want to know now if you have the chance. I mean the divorce talk.
I finally left Nigeria on December 7th, 2023 and arrived the country on December 9th with my children. Today, I am exactly 3 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old in Sydney, australia.
This is not a hearsay, it is not an eye witness account, it is my story.
This is intended to guide people who maybe planning to travel outside Nigeria. Should you migrate at an age over 45 or not?
Those who told me not to go are right and those who told me to travel are also right.
Given another opportunity, will I take the decision to move out of Nigeria at 48? Have I made a mistake? How am I surviving?
In fact, you are a big disgrace to the whole Yoruba land ..
Reason is that there is a systematic genocide going on in Nigeria where you live and at your backyard of people in southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue states by Fulani herders who are 100% Muslims. These people have killed and are still killing innocent people in the aforementioned states people who are predominantly Christians, these people are systematically changing the historical and political landscape of these areas and are supplanting their own people in these places.
I have not seen you make a case for these people and I want to believe it is simply because they are. Christians and khafirs or simply Keferi...
So their lives do not matter to you although you are both Nigerians and the aggressors are mainly foreigners from countries like Niger, Somali, Chad, etc..
So you would rather have them take possession of your own brothers' lands than have them live in peace...
Ilé la ti nko èsó r'odé.. Charity begins from home ..
Douse the fire in your own backyard first, before you talk of what is happening to the cat in the next street...
This is in no way aimed at Holiness and Righteouness for a previous thread created by them because doing so amounts to waste of time and energy.
There are 3 categories of people in most situations:
People that will believe and support you in every situation whether you are right or wrong. People that will disbelieve and oppose you in every situation whether you are right or wrong. People that care about right or wrong, true or false and draw conclusions based on proofs.
The first 2 are always bias and one must never waste time having conversations with them unless there is a possibility that the third set will benefit from it.
I am not going to write a long epistle on this because anyone who actually watched the above video and his critical thinking faculty is not shutdown knows something is wrong with the whole confession claims. watch from 01:12 to 01:20. He said his friend was just hit in the head so, out of fear, he ran to the closest house. Does anyone with a functioning brain believe that the first thing that a person who just has a close shave with dead and has his friend shot in the head thinks about sex let alone rape a woman when heavy gunfire is going on. Only a person who has shut down the critical thinking faculties of his brain will believe this confession is real and not a man saying whatever his torturers want him to say so he can be given little respite.
You can watch the video yourselves and make your own deductions, after all it is said that "Ruwa cikin cokali ya ishi mai hankali wanka", emphasis on the mai hankali. My mum will also say "Abo oro lanso fu omaluabi toba de inure a di odidi", Hope they translate to the same thing.
The IOF(because I don't believe they are I-D-F) twitter handle where the video was first posted have pulled it down because people are able to pick holes in the video. I hope Holiness and Righteousness will also toe the part of honesty, holiness and righteousness by also pulling down the thread. I know it is very unlikely, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt especially when they claim holiness and righteousness.
I am not going to go into details of how the so families of the so-called Hamas rape lies posted and interviewed by the Newyork times denied it and say that they were manipulated by the New York times staff. I will drop this links for people who care about the truth and want to know.
Eedris Abdulkareem born Eedris Turayo Abdulkareem Ajenifuja is a talented Nigerian-veteran hip hop artist, recording artist, stage performer, rapper, composer, songwriter, and professional vocalist, and also a farmer who was born into a polygamous family in Kano state. To the family of Late Mr. Eedris Abdulkareem Adenifuja, Late Mrs. Alhaja Safurat Ajoke Ajenifuja. In this biography post, we will delve into Eedris Abdulkareem's biography and everything you need to know about him.
Eedris Abdulkareem Biography
Early Life & Education
Eedris Abdulkareem was born in Kano state on the December 24th, 1974. He attended Army Day Secondary School in Kano State and proceeded to obtain his West African Senior School Certificate and went further to obtain his bachelor’s degree at Bayero University where he studied mass communication
Personal Life
Eedris Abdulkareem is a Muslim who believes so much in his Quran and Allah's words. He lost his father when he was 2 years old, while his mother died years after his father’s death. He has 8 brothers. Eedris married his wife Yetunde in 2004 just shortly after they dated, and the marriage is currently blessed with three children. Eedris Abdulkareem was diagnosed with kidney failure on July 6, 2022. But his wife decided to donate her kidney for him. And that has kept him alive to date.
Career
Eedris Abdulkareem's career in music stretches back to the 1990s, making him a true veteran of the Nigerian music scene. His journey encompasses several distinct chapters, each leaving a lasting mark. Eedris Abdulkareem began rapping while he was schooling but became popular in 1996 because he uniquely does his music. As the lead rapper of “The Remedies” " he helped pioneer Nigerian hip-hop. The group had the likes of Tony Tetuilla and Eddy Montana before they went their later separated to pursue their solo careers in 2002. He released his first solo album, “Pass” in 2002 which was well-received by fans. This album established Eedris as a solo force. In the same year 2002, He dropped another song titled “Mr. Lecturer” which mainly focuses on sexual harassment in Universities further cementing his image as a social critic.
In 2004, Eedris Abdulkareem went further to release an album titled “Jaga Jaga” which was even more disputable than his former ones. Jaga Jaga is a Yoruba term for “shambles“, which talks about the corruption and sufferings in Nigeria. Even though the song was banned on radio and when Olusegun Obasanjo was the then president of Nigeria, it didn’t stop people from playing it in nightclubs. Eedris continued releasing albums like "Letter to Mr. President" (2005) and "King Is Back" (2007), maintaining his signature style. In 2022, he publicly battled kidney failure, receiving a transplant from his wife in 2023. This experience shaped his recent music, with songs like "Thank You" reflecting gratitude and "Ghetto Soldier" highlighting resilience.
Controversy
Eedris accused music veteran Charly Boy of financial impropriety, sparking further debate about accountability and transparency within the industry.
Eedris Abdulkareem and Burna Boy
In 2024, Eedris criticized Burna Boy's claim when Burna Boy said “He didn’t receive any help from anyone in the music industry” calling it "stupid talk." This sparked a war of words online when Burna boy fired back at him saying “I don’t blame you, I blame people that donated money for your hospital bills”.

FreeGlobe: As we begin to criticise Sunday Oliseh over his decisions, tactics and losses let's remember he is not Igbo. Let the criticisms be based on it merits. Again, Sunday Oliseh is NOT igbo!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8g3fQn3zuA
Bump. I just got to fully watch this video after so many years.
Wow! That was a fantastic TEDx talk from Sunday Oliseh. Very brilliant convo that got me laughing and smiling.
He did say he is from Abavo (the second largest town after Agbor in the Ika South LGA of Delta State) and was born and raised in Lagos State. He speaks English, French, German, Italian, and some Dutch. (He speaks Yoruba as well though).
Sunday Oliseh was an awesome midfielder back then who would accurately shoot the soccer ball from the midfield to Rashidi Yekini (an attacker) who would then do damage to the opposing sides by smashing the ball into the net.
Readers, just face what is opened, pure, and not secrets. Leave out insults from the posts, and focus on the issue. I wont go low to his level to return the insults.
Check the internet...the real deal in the corpus lies in the poems associated with the 256 sets of chances. You will not find them all anywhere. Incomplete info is what you get. But guess what? You have the A to Z of Bible. Do you really get me? The sh.ts they put online are to lure you all. Dem be manipulators. Dem dey write to lure you to come consult them. Dem be hustlers. Na clients dem dey look for. They will NEVER release the poems in details. Why? Those are their manipulative tools. We go burst dem bubbles na if dem release am. We go replace their yeye sacrificial poems with normal stuff na. Who has got the time to feed babalawos? Me, make dem rich? Tufiaka. God forbids it. If you wan to be dem maga, feel free to consult them.
Too many AI and data science materials which are rubbish are online, so you need s road map to know what to focus on. Contrarily, dont let anyone decieve you....Ifa is passed orally. Nothing dem write oooo. Lol. Na just scanty stuff they write online. The real knowledge is the poems. And it is why each babalawo must know 4 for each of the 256 possible outcomes. Meanwhile, the number of poems available for each is over 100 sef. Even more than a thousand. Yes.
Let me reveal more. These people put together mainly bad ones.....For example, one babalawo was interpreting Ogunda (one out of the 256 possible outcomes) and the only thing he could say was that the person consulting will tell lies, as in must tell lies. Must be a 419, must do bad things. And that he must make sacrifices to be successful in it. I laughed. Does that make sense? They said Ogunda is the chief of the thieves. Lol. That is their own main meaning oooo. Babalawo must chop na. But then, there is the other side that preaches honesty...and the suggestions to be honest without doing any sacrifice dem no go see that one...na the one wey ask you to bring chicken, ram, goats, beer to devil to drink, money to put in calabash....so that they wont catch the person is the one they will see na..
The Bible is opened. It is free. Direct access to God if you can pray very well. This reason was why our fathers burnt the rubbish Ifa stuff. Of course, there is maths there....i saw it. And even the basis is Machine language like I said earlier. Let me drop a link here where three computer science researchers give some odus binary codes. Here is it:
I will give you links na. We no dey stingy with sharing info. Read above and you will get my point. [b]I repeat, do not take the insults from Mr. Quantum Physics as anything serious. I csn even teach him the maths he is talking about na. OK. Go read all his posts and read my previous posts and threads and them come...tell me who you think get sense. That maths sef, there are 2 possibilities here which are: He knows it or he doesnt. Na so. But you cant know until you test him. So, believe him that he is a mathematician or he uses Ifa to solve advance maths like he has claimed. Na so babalawos dey do. No be dem maga ooo.
In this age of info and computer, do you need to learn the periodic table (chemistry) by heart again? Capital letter NO. Lol. Why? So why the heck would they force scholars to memorise 256 × 4 .... 1024 poems? Like saying that the Bible must be memorized only ....and not available in books. Dont you know that prophets will manipulate you cos you dont have it? That was what those catholic priests did in those days. Na only them get am...and they manipulated people. But the God of Christianity is opened...He paved the way for everything to be available in all languages. We can read it. Is it too hard to put together all the poems in their ifa together so we can verify things for everselves? But nope...na lie. They want you to consult them. SCAMMERS!!!
Na you sabi ooo. If you go carry yourself to one babalawo who go manipulate you...na you sabi. If dem sure Ifa leads to God like they say, let them open up everything. GOD is not a secret God. God wants you to approach Him directly and not via your fellow humans who can tell you lies. In those days, those babalawos bully people oooo. But when people got Jesus, they dumped Ifa and those manipulators....burnt all the thing they told them to worship...snd guess what? They didn't die. The people did not die.
Any teaching, suggestion, culture, religion, etc that is not readily available is manipulative. Do not enslave yourselves.
I choose to be a Christian, and I am not ashamed to say so. I choose to stay with what is opened and available for all to use. I choose to stay with no secret. They have the Bible too and they have not been able to prove the Bible wrong. Tell them to release their Ifa poems so we can also check too. Dem no born dem well na.
Dont fall for any Mr. Quatum Physics ooo. Na talk him dey talk oooo....can you believe that? Make him release the roadmap, he turned it to insults.. i asked cos I know he doesn't know sh.t. All na manipulations. Period. If you want to convince me, you must put that roadmap down and I will check. Why? I gat AI Data science, Quantum Physics, even thd biblical roadmap is accessible to all.....I can check these areas myself. Why should Ifa not give me its roadmap too? Lol. They want me consult a Yahoo Yahoo master. SCAMMERS!!!
In the domain of kitchen machines, the decision among gas and electric Stoves has been a longstanding discussion. Every choice accompanies its arrangement of benefits and disservices, and among the contemplations, cost assumes an essential part. In this complete investigation, we dive into the different expense factors related with changing from a gas Stove to an electric one.
Introductory Expense: The Forthright Venture Perhaps the earliest angle to consider while mulling over the switch is the underlying expense of the actual apparatus. Electric Stoves, especially those with cutting edge highlights or enlistment innovation, will more often than not have a higher forthright sticker price contrasted with their gas partners. This underlying speculation can be a huge element for people or families on a careful spending plan.
Electric Stoves come in various sorts, each with its own cost range. Smooth-top and induction stoves, with their sleek designs and advanced technology, frequently command a higher price than traditional coil electric stoves. It's fundamental to gauge the underlying expense against the drawn out advantages and highlights to decide the most appropriate choice for your requirements.
Functional Expenses: Energy Utilization and Service Bills Past the underlying buy, the functional expenses of utilizing an electric Stove merit thought. Gas Stoves depend on flammable gas, which might be more affordable in certain districts contrasted with the expense of power. However, in the long run, electric stoves may have lower overall operational costs.
Power rates shift broadly contingent upon your area, yet much of the time, electric Stoves are viewed as more energy-effective. Electric Stoves give exact temperature control, limiting energy squander. Moreover, fresher models frequently accompany energy-saving elements that add to generally speaking productivity.
It is essential to compare the energy consumption of both gas and electric stoves in order to get a clear picture of the potential difference in operational costs. Consider factors like cooking propensities, recurrence of purpose, and the productivity of the apparatuses. While the expense per unit of energy (kWh) may be higher for power, the effectiveness of electric Stoves can balance this distinction.
Establishment Expenses: Adapting Your Kitchen Making the switch from a gas stove to an electric one may necessitate alterations to your kitchen, which come at a cost. Electric Stoves ordinarily need a devoted electrical circuit, and the current electrical arrangement in your kitchen could require moving up to oblige the new machine.
Employing an authorized circuit repairman to introduce the vital wiring and outlets can add to the general expense. The intricacy of the establishment interaction might fluctuate relying upon your kitchen's flow electrical setup. Gas stoves, on the other hand, require a connection to a gas line, and installing one might necessitate hiring an expert plumber to guarantee a secure and correct setup.
It's vital for figure these establishment costs while thinking about the switch, as they can altogether affect the general spending plan for the machine progress. Getting statements from experts in your space can give a more precise gauge of the establishment costs.
Incentives and Rebates: Counterbalancing the Expenses In certain locales, government motivating forces and discounts are accessible to support the reception of energy-productive machines, including electric Stoves. Prior to settling on a choice, it's beneficial to research whether there are any neighborhood or public projects offering monetary motivations for changing from a gas to an electric Stove.
These impetuses could come as tax reductions, refunds, or limits on the acquisition of energy-proficient machines. While these projects may not take care of the whole expense of the new Stove, they can assist with counterbalancing the underlying venture and do the switch all the more monetarily engaging.
The costs of upkeep and repairs: Long-Term Considerations The costs of gas and electric stoves' ongoing upkeep and repairs should also be taken into account. Gas Stoves have a less difficult plan with less parts, which might mean lower upkeep and fix costs after some time. Then again, electric Stoves, particularly those with cutting edge highlights, may require specific fixes that can be more costly.
It's essential to investigate the unwavering quality and sturdiness of the particular models you are thinking about. Peruse client surveys and talk with apparatus specialists to check the normal life expectancy of the machine and the possible expenses of fixes. While no apparatus is altogether safe to glitches, understanding the upkeep scene can add to informed direction.
Resale Worth: A Possible Factor The kind of stove in your kitchen may have an effect on the resale value of your house. It's important to note that some homebuyers may prefer one kind of stove over another, even though this may not be the most important factor for everyone. Electric Stoves, with their cutting edge plans and highlights, may interest specific socioeconomics, possibly improving the resale worth of your home.
Consider your drawn out plans and whether the resale worth of your house is a figure your dynamic interaction. While it ought not be the sole determinant, it very well may be an extra advantage to changing to an electric Stove.
Conclusion: In the excursion from a gas Stove to an electric one, cost contemplations assume a vital part. The choice is nuanced and requires an exhaustive investigation of different variables, including the underlying expense, functional costs, establishment costs, likely refunds, support, and, surprisingly, the drawn out influence on your home's resale esteem.
Every family is extraordinary, and what might be monetarily reasonable for one may not turn out as expected for another. Evaluate your cooking propensities, financial plan limitations, and the particular prerequisites of your kitchen to settle on an educated choice. While the change from gas to electric Stoves includes some monetary speculation, the expected advantages concerning energy proficiency, security, and present day highlights might well offset the expenses for some mortgage holders.
That is entirely untrue! Why do we lie too much? Here is a link to approved countries for truck driving in the US: https://americanvisas.net/visas/non-immigrant-visas/h-2b-visa-program/; https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/h-2b-temporary-non-agricultural-workers
Did you see Nigeria listed? If our truck driving is the same, why are we not listed? Why is Madagascar listed, but not us? In fact, in one of the links, drivers who don't obtain their licenses in either Mexico or Canada MUST do so in the United States.
Please, this is not 2004 where people talk anyhow.

if you learn the skills here in Nigeria, it will be easier to pick the license when you get to the US,
uvie66: nonsense talk, our truck is the same as in the US, most important thing is the length and gears. Once you can appreciate the length and size and have confidence in driving it you are good to go, I will even go as far to say it is easier in US than Nigeria because they have smooth roads and traffic lights are obeyed by the citizens. Here in Nigeria drivers have to negotiate massive pot holes on a daily basis and put up with inconsiderate drivers. Lastly no skill is a waste, interstate truck drivers regularly earn above $100k a year.

Please pardon the multiple grammatical errors and disorganization, i wrote this with difficulty in my heart. Please read it and advice me. Hello everybody. Happy New Year.
I'm in a dilemma and I need help. I have been feeling down and almost depressed for the past few days.
There's this girl that I met in school last semester. I go to a university in the US. So, I met her in like September. It was a school event and someone introduced us together. She's mixed, Nigerian and Asian (blasian). She's also relatively tall and she's older than me. She'll be 22 this year and I just turned 19 a few days ago. but i told her i was 21 as well She's also noticeably taller than me. She was a first year student and I'm in a higher year (or should be).
When I met her, we just introduced ourselves and talked for a few minutes. I told her I was 18 then when she told me my age but she kinda forgot down the line. But basically I saw she was kind of attractive but I was not really interested. I didn't even try to get her socials or anything.
A week or two later, I was on campus and came to the residence dorms because I was bored. It was night and I lived in apartment off campus. I met her in the lobby of a building and she was leaving to go to her room. This was around midnight or past midnight. I decided to go to her room with her but I didn't ask directly. I just told her to use her keys to open the common lounge for me so we walked to her part of the residence and she opened the lounge. Some people were inside and I was like there's too many people. So we came out and I found myself walking to her building. We got in and she took me to her room, offered me drinks of my choice ( I picked shots of vodka), and we both took shots while we chatted. I didn't want to make a move because I was nervous and it was the first time. I left to my apartment later. But I got her snap here.
I didn't put too much interest in the situation because at first I genuinely wasn't that interested. We met again during another event and I sat beside her and we talked. She vapes and I picked up the habit during the summer so we vaped as well when we were in her room. I noticed that she asked me about two or three times to go buy vapes together. I wanted to go but I was kind of broke back then and also I wasn't sure if those were signals (how wrong i was). But basically, i kind of turned her down. I just told her how to get it because it was a new town for her as a first year while I've been schooling there for some time.
Skip, skip.... we were sending snaps and she sent me pictures of shots she was having. I asked her where mine was and she responded and said "COME!!!!!" enthusiastically. i was like okay, I'm in. So, I went to her to her room and took some more alcohol and she showed me some videos on her computer and we talked about a bunch of things. She even asked what kind of girls I was interested in and all that. I knew that I should have made a move on her but I was shy and nervous (story of my life).
i'll back track here to give you some background info. I've always been a nice guy with girls for the most part. I have these idea that they are like innocent and I should take things very slow with them. But, on average despite being short I've not had problems getting girls attracted to me. I always seem to Bleep things up though. Also, my first experience with a girl in uni in my first year went badly so I had some kind of trauma that I needed to unpack. Basically, it was the first time i got high off weed and it was with this girl in her room. I tried making a move when we were under the covers watching a show on her laptop but she removed my hand from her thighs the first time and I freaked out. I started imagining sexual assault charges and I actually started pleading with her in the room. She was giving me reassurances but the effect of being high amplified everything in my head. I couldn't leave my room for three days because I told she told everyone i tried to rape her. it was fine at the end though, she didn't tell anyone but that bleeped me up for a long time. i was always afraid to make a move on girls because i didn't want to come off as creepy and all. There was also another girl i used to hang out with. we'll be on my bed or hers watching but i never made a move or tried even though i wanted to.
Also, I used to watch a lot of porn and became insecure about my dick. erect size is 5'7 inches and 4'7 in girth. I always thought it would be too small and thin and girls would be dissapointed. so that also factored into my insecurity and anxiety.
Back to where I was. So, after about four hours in her room (yes, i know i was such a pussy) she made the first move. She faced me and put her legs in between mine and was basically giving me the greenest green light ever. In my head, i was like okay she wants it. so i put my hands on her thighs and started caressing it. after some time she went to her bed and called me to her bed. she told me to come to the bed. I laid beside her and after some time we started kissing and making out. at some point she went on top of me and was rubbing her pussy against my dick but we were wearing clothes. i was also a virgin too so i wasn't confident to have sex because I knew i would be rusty and coupled with my insecurity too. but we basically made out for a while and i touched her and all but we didn't have sex. i think she tried giving me a Mouth Action but i didn't react so she didn't do much. i was still insecure about my dick size and that's why i didn't whip it out.
I left and I went back to tell my best friend about it. he was saying i finally scored some and said he was happy for me and all. we're actually very close and share almost everything with each other, we share texts with girls we're talking to, ask for advice and run strategies and all. we talk about everything and everyone knows we're close. i'll link this later on.
So, i found out that i wouldn't be able to take classes for last semester because i had some unpaid tuition debt. so, i would be going to the nearby city to stay with a family friend until the fees were paid i could register for classes. this was last semester (september to december). i told her about it and i was sad because i actually to spend more time with her in school and all. she told me to stay a few more days and i did but i left finally.
i should have seen the signs, she drinks a lot of alcohol and has daddy issues. she actually hates her father. this will make sense soon.
i visited her twice while she was in school. i came to campus to meet her the first time. at first, she said nothing would happen but i still wanted to come cos i felt something would happen. And if nothing happened, i would just hang out with my other friends.
when i came i told her i wanted to see her. at first she said only in the day time and in a public place lol but at night when i texted her i told her i wanted to come see her. she went drinking with some friends but i later met her room and we hung out in her room and she gave me some weed that she bought. we got high and had sex that night. i think it wasn't special and i didn't do a fantastic job. i even couldn't come but i think she liked it because when we talked the following morning she said she enjoyed it.
but before i left, she told me we have to stop having sex and all that because she wanted to focus on another guy (he's taller and has beards and she likes beards, i don't have beards). she did tell me when we first kissed that she kissed another guy and that was him. i was surprised but i just assumed that maybe the sex wasn't good enough. i didn't tell her i was a virgin and i told her my body count was like 4.
When she said that to me, i was like okay. i told her my real age was 18 and she said she felt like i liked her and she didn't want to lead me on. she was interested in someone else. she was surprised about my real age but she said it was fine that her best friend that was the same age had a boyfriend who was 19 too.
i left and went back to the other city. we were still talking on imessage and facetime. and i discovered that things didn't go too well with the other guy because she kept telling me she was single and nothing happened.
So some weeks later she asked me to come see her. she wanted me to come and i said okay and i made some time. i came and we had sex again but i think this was worse than the first time. i was very lethargic and i didn't last very long. it seemed like she was disappointed and i tried going for a second round but i was too lazy and ended up not doing it. she wore her clothes and we slept together (we've slept together like three times). the following morning, after disturbing her sleep lol we did it again but i didn't last very long again. i was angry with myself but i knew it was a mental thing and also because i didn't have much experience. i knew if i was on campus with her taking classes and seeing her frequently the sex would be much better because there would be room for improvement and learning since we'd do it multiple times. but just doing it once in while places more importance on the sex and for me to deliver. i was honestly inexperienced and still insecure about my dick. we did it raw the two times i had sex with her too (thought i'd mention that). when i was leaving i asked if we'd still have more sex cos i remember the last time when she said we wouldn't but we ended up doing it again. she said yes.
another thing concerning the sex was that she liked me fingering her and she stops me multiple times when i do it because she says she doesn't want to squirt and mess the sheets. she also told me she likes rough sex and being submissive, dirty talk and all that. she even calls me daddy when we have sex but because i'm inexperienced and was a virgin before i met her it's not easy to do all that. i treat her gently and give her the girlfriend treatment but i think it's the nice guy in me. it was hard for me to treat her roughly but now i realize my mistakes. i remember telling her that at first i thought she was innocent but she laughed and said no. i also told her i liked bdsm and there's a chance that i would do it when next we Bleep.
Now, the point of this post is that she is dating my best friend now. i don't know how to feel. he knew every single thing about me and her but he still made a move. he's said he wanted to hit her but i didn't expect them to be dating. i know all this is happening because i wasn't in school so i barely even knows what goes on. to be fair, i didn't tell my best friend i liked her but even if he shouldn't have gone behind my back to date her. i don't even know how long he's been planning this behind my back and he didn't even tell me they were dating. usually if it was any other girl i would know but he kept quiet about this one and stopped talking to me much.
i noticed something was off but i didn't know this was the reason. and also her, i remember when she used to tell me when my best friend would hit on her but she told me she was never interested. there was even a time when she asked me if she should accept his invite to watch a movie in his apartment and i said no. but at the end of the day, we weren't dating so she's free to do whatever but it still hurts. she didn't know that he (my bf) knew about us having sex but the guy knew and still went to Bleep her and cuff her. This is soemone that used to advice me on how to move to her and all that. No, it hurts like hell. I used to consider this guy my blood and i trust him becuase since i'm not in school he's with my ps5 and tv. that's how much i trust him. we tell each other everything (him more than me tbh) but i can't believe he would do this. i haven't even talked to him about it and i don't know if i should. i asked him and he said they are dating but he never goes into detail.
another sad thing is that i can't come to school this semester as well becuase i have unpaid fees but they would be paid before next session in september. so, it makes sense if she's fucking someone else especially since i'm not around in school. I'm in the UK with my family now and I have to stay for about four/five months before going back to the US in the summer but it's like hell because that's all i think about. and since i'm with my parents and can't really talk to other girls i can't move on. i'm stuck with these thoughts.
like why did she have to date my best friend (she knew we were close), it would have been any one else and i wouldn't have cared as much and the guy is a snake because he knew about all my movements with the girl and still did this. he knew my intimate details about the sex with her and still made a move. when i told the girl about how he knew we were fucking, she said it was her fault for going for best friends and she was ass. Basically, she's sticking with him. I wish I was in school because this wouldn't have happened. It's all because I'm not in school but I'll be back in a few months.
At this point, i need advice on multiple things:
1. I'm tired of being a nice guy and insecure. I want to be more confident and improve my frame. Some girls i've messed with in the past say I'm too emotional and can't be a fuckbody because I attach emotions to it. This blasian girl said something similar, she said i was a loverboy. She's also told me to be more confident, stop second guessing myself and when we text, and i get pissed or something she says i act like a girl.
I need to stop being this nice guy. How do I erase it from the fabric of my soul because I've struggled with it for years and it has hindered me multiple times. That's also why I couldn't Bleep her the way she wanted even after she told me.
2. How do I improve my sex game? Genuinely like how to Bleep (do we use the waist/hips to control thrusts or it's the full body) properly. How do I last longer and get better erections ( I know this is cliche but i need something that works for you), how do i stop being insecure about my dick size (already told you measurements earlier)? But, if i bleeped her three times, that means it should be fine. I want to get good sex game so when i Bleep a girl she would always want me back.
3. How do I handle this situation? She was asking me how to make me feel better and asking if i was mad when she told me she was dating him. at first i thought it was a joke but they are serious but not too many people know about it. i messed up yesterday and let my emotions get a hold of me and i blocked her. but i unblocked her and she started acting angry to me and cold but i apologized. i've been acting needy though and doing too much and she complained today so I said i'll back off. if she doesn't text me first, i'll talk to her when i get back to the US in a few months. I'll still see my best friend (or ex best-friend) when I come back because we have the same friend groups and I can't avoid him.
4. How do I remedy this situation and still Bleep her again? I know it sounds stupid but my mind is made up. She's my first and she was actually good and I enjoy spending time with her when we Bleep. i don't necessarily want to date her but at least I still want to hit that. Also, it's a matter of pride to me because if they're still dating when i come back and i can Bleep her while she's dating some of my hurt will reduce. Also, i know i'm attached to her but I also want to right my wrongs and give her mind blowing sex to redeem myself and my sanity. How do I remedy the situation and still keep her on the cards? To be honest, even if you say not to try to Bleep her my mind is made up. I have to try at least, so please advice me accordingly.
5. How do I stop being emotional and acting like a girl. I react to things too much, take things personally and I'm insecure.
6. How can I keep myself sane and stop thinking about it? It's hurting my soul and staying here for months basically doing nothing is going to be torture for me?
7. Give me some general advice about game? How do I improve and go on from here.
Please I need comprehensive responses, I don't need a band aid on my wound but a full body surgery. I want to change this few months I'm here before I go back.
Thank you again for reading and forgive the errors and improper structure. I've been writing straight for two hours.
Baatunde: With all due respect sir, those calling for a "Free Palestine" in the UK and all over thew world are not "2%" of the population and they are certainly not idiots because they are not bigoted enough not to blindly support a genocidal and oppressive regime like you lots. I know you will call me the next idiot because you people cannot present your case without insult and abuse. From you statement, you are implying the whole of the Irish Nations of Ireland and Northern Ireland, South Africa , Bolivia to mention a few, standing firmly behind a free Palestine are idiots. Same for the millions of people who have participated in several hundreds of marches all over the world in support of a free Palestine including well meaning Israelis and religious Rabbis whose conscience would just not allow them to blindly support the denigration and oppression of a people in the name of "defending ourselves"
Lets not talk of tons of videos by people from mall over the world exposing the hypocrisy and the massive propaganda of the Israelis most of which have been viewed millions of times with hundreds of thousands of LIKES. I respectfully disagree with your " 2% idiots" theory as it is not supported by any data but just a product of your concoction. Public opinion about Netanyahu even before October 7 has not always been pleasant and even after October 7 many felt that he deliberately sacrificed Israeli lives just to have an excuse to declare war on Hamas and boost his rating because the Egyptians warned the Israelis that something was in the offing.

Every group, team, country, community,area Always have one thing in common They are called "IDIOTS"
There will always be a 2% of every population that will always go against their leaders.
USA has it Russia had it Even Nigeria has it.
You have couple of idiots in every country.
In UK you see the idiots saying Free Palestine
During end SARS protest. Some Northeners where doing Pro SARS protest
In Israel, a group of dumb idiots comes together and do protest. The government don't even listen to such ignoramuses. They just carry placard and walk like zombies.Na their e go end.
Nobody give a damn about the 2% idiots Only Hamas and co Because the idiots are unkownkily helping Hamas
MT: I have read countless submissions from Nairaland and I am always shocked how westerners especially are perceived as very wealthy.
This reflects in the way they are treated when they visit our continent. Most Nigerians are subservient to them, thinking that the whites are quite rich. The whites get the feedback and they look down on africans as the sons and daughters of their former slaves.
You will see a Nigeria graduate having an illiterate white as friends, and still feel so privileged to have them as friends. Taking pictures and posting on social media showing the world that he now has white friends; the whites that ought to be under him in levels.
This also informs the japa when majority feel that once they get visa, they are going into very "rich" land where their hopes will be realised.
That illiterate White Man working as a cook or bus driver likely has parents or grandparents who're part of the trend below -
Between 2023 and 2045, $84 trillion in assets will be handed down from baby boomers to their heirs or charities according to market research firm Cerulli and Associates.
The Rochester Business Journal asked four leaders in the wealth management space how they’ve readied their firms and their clients for what’s been dubbed the Great Wealth Transfer.
40% of US homes are mortgage free and you know most of them are owned by White People -
I'm sure a good portion of mortgages at any point in history are owed by 1st generation Americans. Now we know there was a Great Return to Nigeria by Nigerian students during the oil boom of the 1970's. Between those that returned to Nigeria and those who stayed in the USA, who has accumulated more wealth over the past 50 years? Which has higher living standards? Between the next generation that comes after them, which cohort will likely be wealthier? Then let's talk about White Americans who've been inheriting wealth over 3 to 10 generations.
This whole schtick about Nigerians being rich is getting out of hand. Please my people, do some research. It's not that hard.
In fact White People have a culture of modesty, so they don't tend to show off their wealth. While Nigerians get $10K and start shouting to high heavens. Most Nigerian residents that many think are wealthy are NOT wealthy, while many White People in the US/UK you think are poor are actually quite wealthy.
[quote]As is the norm with the United Nations Climate Change Conference, otherwise known as the Conference of Parties (COP), two days after the opening day is reserved for high-level engagements.
At these engagements, Heads of State and Governments (HOS/G) are expected to deliver their national statements. These remarks usually contain ambitions, plans and commitments in the fight against climate change.
It was during one of such high-level events at COP26, which held in the UK in 2021, that former President Muhammadu Buhari said Nigeria would reach net-zero emissions target by 2060.
Buhari did not attend COP27 in Egypt and so Nigeria was not represented at the event proper. However, during the closing days of the conference, when the high-level events resumed (this time for ministers), Mohammed Abdullahi, then minister of environment, delivered the national statement.
This year, the high-level segment for HOS/G was tagged the ‘World Climate Action Summit’ and was scheduled to hold on December 1 and 2, with over 80 world leaders scheduled to speak.
One of the scheduled speakers was President Tinubu of Nigeria who was 36 on the list.
The first day of the conference came to an end without the Nigerian leader delivering a speech. He also did not deliver any remarks on the second day.
TheCable was at the event on both days and observed that the president was in the plenary room — on the day he was slated to speak — when other leaders were delivering their national statements.
Tinubu was slated to speak on the first day after Nikos Christodoulides, President of Cyprus, delivered his speech.
However, at about 4:10 pm, an insider told TheCable that Tinubu left the plenary room for the presidential lounge for a scheduled meeting with another president.
The source later told TheCable that the meeting never took place so the president left for his hotel room and returned at night to sign an agreement with Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany, aimed at expanding Nigeria’s grid capacity and boosting electricity supply in the country.
In a twist of events and in order to show that Nigeria was still represented at the plenary, Balarabe Lawal, minister of environment, went ahead to sit on the President’s Chair.
Lawal was expected to speak on the President’s behalf.
However, after Christodoulides delivered his speech, Nigeria was skipped and the next leader was called to the rostrum.
The organisers told TheCable that the President’s speech can only be read by a representative on day 9 of the session.
According to the United Nations, “The World Climate Action Summit (WCAS) from Friday, 1 December to Saturday, 2 December 2023, will hear national statements from Heads of State and Governments (HOS/G) and Vice Presidents who have registered and confirmed their wish to deliver a statement. Parties will have only one opportunity to deliver a national statement during the high-level segment”.
“All speakers should ensure that they are in the plenary room at least five speakers ahead of the delivery of their national statement,” the notice reads.
In an interview with Premium Times, Yusuf Tuggar, minister of foreign affairs, said the reason the President did not deliver a speech was because Nigeria wanted more action and less talk.
However, TheCable can report that this was not the case because all parties who did not wish to speak did not sign up to the UN’s list of speakers.
An example is US President Joe Biden who had registered his non-attendance because he was focusing on the Israel-Hamas crisis and so was not named on the list of speakers.
TheCable reached out to Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s spokesperson, for comments. However, none had come at the time this story was published.
Yesterday, Israeli soldiers leaving an operation in the West Bank casually murdered two young boys playing on the street.
An 8 year old boy brought down with a bullet to the skull and his cousin a 15 a body shot.
These type of Israeli atrocities bring about generational hatred that will continue the cycle of violence forever.
The general thinking of the average person who doesn't understand the deep issues of the Israeli-Palestinian political dynamics only see the killings Palestinians, but are not aware that the Israelis on a daily basis commit more violent crimes, but the difference is that the perpetrator is the Israeli government using their soldiers.
Killing dozens Palestinians, whether woman, child or elderly is no crime to the Israelis, but the whole world gets alerted if a Palestinian kills a single jew.✡️✡️✡️✡️
Palestinians and Hamas are quite good at showcasing in the media the "crimes" of Israelis and making efforts to manipulate and weaponize sympathy. Aren't these the same people shooting rockets from hospitals and schools while actively seeking to make Palestinian children and civilians collateral damage so they can whip up sympathy against Israel? This is the same Hamas that kills Palestinians that criticize them or they perceive as being tolerant or considerate of Israelis. Hamas has shown repeatedly by its actions that it doesn't value the lives of Palestinians, but they cry crocodile tears and raise blaming fingers when their actions cause the death of Palestinians in the hands of Israelis. These are the Palestinians that Hamas leadership tell anyone are the responsibilities of United Nations. It is worth noting that rather than build schools, hospitals and provide amenities with foreign aid for Palestinians, Hamas choose to build tunnels, rockets, buy ammunition and have their leadership live luxurious lifestyles in foreign countries like Qatar.
Palestinians and other foreigners supporting Hamas should ask themselves what has been the net gain of the actions of Hamas over the years for Palestinians. The truth is that the net gain is negative. Thousands of lives of Palestinians have been sacrificed and the actions have not gained anything but loss of land, territory and economic prosperity.
For those of you who don't know history, during the period of British Mandatory Palestine prior to 1948, when the Jews and Palestinians all lived together (both were then referred to as Palestinians), even though there were internal conflicts from time to time, the following facts were indisputable during those years: 1. Palestinian Arab literacy rates were higher than those of Egypt and Turkey despite being lower than that of Jews. 2. Palestinian Arabs earned more than Arabs in other countries despite having a lower earning power compared to Jews. 3. On the scale of the UN Human Development Index determined for around 1939, of 36 countries, Palestinian Jews were placed 15th, Palestinian Arabs 30th, Egypt 33rd and Turkey 35th.
All these indicators showed that Palestinian Arabs were doing much better than their fellow Arabs in other countries during those days even when they were not as economically advanced as the Palestinian Jews. Even Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian-American historian in his book (Khalidi, Rashid (2006). The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood. Beacon Press. ISBN 978-0-8070-0308-4.) admitted that Palestinian Arab society, while overmatched by the Yishuv (Palestinian Jews), was as advanced as any other Arab society in the region and considerably more than several.
But after the disagreement of the Palestinian Arabs with the UN Partition Plan (to establish Palestinian Arab and Jewish States while Jerusalem would be under UN) and the subsequent 1947 to 148 Wars and several uprisings thereafter, what could anyone say about the economic situation of the Palestinian Arabs compared to their fellow Arabs? How far have the fallen down the ladder when they allowed themselves to be blinded by hatred for the Jews and Israel?
Today in Gaza, the unemployment rate is over 49% with over 70% youth unemployment. Power Grid, Water Supply System and Healthcare are toast from collateral damage. The only airport, the Yasser Arafat International Airport is in ruins. In June 2005, there were 3,900 factories in Gaza city employing 35,000 people, and in December 2007, there were 195 factories remaining, employing 1,700 people. The school students have 80% failure rate in schools grades four to nine, with up to 90% failure rates in mathematics. As at 2008 Schools in Gaza were canceling classes that were high on energy consumption, such as information technology, science labs and extra curricular activities. As at 2007, households in Gaza spent an average of 62% of their total income on food, compared to 37% in 2004. Currently, more than 80 percent of the population in Gaza live below the poverty line, according to the UN.
Between 2010 and 2011 when there was relative peace, the economy of Gaza grew by 16% in the first half of 2010. In 2011 Gaza's economy increased by 27% while unemployment fell to 29%, its lowest in a decade and per capita gross domestic product increased by 19%. In 2012, Qatar donated 400 million dollars towards construction projects in the Gaza Strip. That same 2012, an average of 250 trucks per day passed through the Kerem Shalom border crossing, transporting goods from Israel to the Gaza Strip boosting trade.
However, when there is a little stability to allow for development, Hamas and similar minded terrorists attack Israel and engineer retaliations that set the country back 20 years.
It may interest you to know that many Palestinians in Gaza worked in the Israeli service industry while the border was open. But these people couldn't work anymore after hostilities by Hamas led to blockades. You may also wish to know that providing the population of the Gaza Strip with a 24/7 power supply requires about 600 megawatts of electricity. Yet the Gaza Strip receives only 180 megawatts — 120 directly from Israel via 10 power lines, and 60 generated by Gaza's power plant with Qatari-funded fuel provided by Israel. It is not difficult to see the economic role of Israel in the development of Gaza but Hamas and their supporters choose same Israel as their major enemy in a conflict in which Hamas can never win for several reasons not to talk of their cowardice.
Where has the war of terror with Israel gotten the Palestinians today?
In West Africa, we may accuse Europeans and Americans of being colonizer and slave traders that cause our forefathers pains. However, we have discovered that living in the countries of these same people, our people have done better and fared far better than when living within their own countries in Africa. Today, we are the ones emigrating with gusto into the lands of our former slave masters.
See, hatred doesn't feed anybody. Hatred of Israelis doesn't feed any Palestinian. It is people like Hamas that are benefiting from it all. If Gaza and Palestine in general toe the path of peace with Israel, terrorist like Hamas will have nothing to benefit or rely upon. Their sources of radical funding from Iran and other Jew hating Arabs will dry up. But Palestinians in general will be the better for it.

spywavenoah: I have been hosting with www.qservers.net for more than 4 years now. It has been one fraudulent issue to the other. Either they suspended my website when it was not due or they created an extra email address for my client website without my knowledge.
Two months ago they hijacked my account completely changing my email and phone number to their client portal (https://process.qservers.net) used in managing all the websites I have with them. It took me days to convince the tech team that the account belonged to me.
Now, they have refused to revert the changes even after convincing them. Each time I send an email to them, they ask me to wait for their abuse team which has been investigating for Two Months now.
3 of my websites with them have expired and the clients that own the website have paid for it, now I can remit the payment because I can access my account and my clients are threatening my my police.
Qserver is one of the most useless hosting i have ever used. Wetin my eyes see with them my mouth no fit talk am.
If you still have the login to your WordPress admin dashboard i can't teach you a way to easily backup your site and migrate to a ne hosting.
