Which nation is more war monger Russia or USA.

I'm not into usa v Russia debacle- none of them serve me, why should I serve them.
Think for yourself, stop being a slave to foreign powers...the genesis of African stupidity.
Russia is a warmonger to Ukraine. That's what this topic is about. Ukraine keeping her nuclear weapon would have served as a deterrent.

ajl:
Do you know what that name "Oduduwa" mean? I really can't blame you. Most children of Oduduwa of today don't even know the meaning. Most of them do not even have the honor of being in the bloodline of Oduduwa. Because they abhor and do so much evils and continue to dishonor their ancestors. They have choose not to live in line with the ways left by their ancestors. Do you know that Yoruba is not the original name of the so-called Yorubas? Their original name which they called themselves is "Omoluabi" (Omo-ti-olu-iwa-bi), meaning "children of lord or epitome of character".

Odu-du-wa, means "gourd of character", an embodiment of human virture. So, yorubaland is supposed to be land of the most virtuous people on Earth. That's why their divine sage, Orunmila, whose philosophy the yoruba traditions are based on, enjoined them to exhibit "Iwapele" (noble character) at all times.

The yoruba people now are just a collection of a lost people walking in total darkness. They do not know their right from their left. They are like a river that has forget its source. So you can disgrace Yorubas as much as you want because a people that dishonor their ancestors do not deserve any honor.

Very interesting post. But if I may ask when in our history did yoruba deviate from the true teaching of orunmila- iwapele and patience.
Do u think the emergence of powerful oyo empire as the central seat of yoruba civilisation led to the contempt of the oracles coming from ile-ife diviners and over time the ifa teaching was corrupted.

I have done some studies on orunmila and ifa, and I agree it's a virtous oracle that can be used to shape and build a noble society.
It's unfortunate the present generation perceive it as fetish. As if Abrahamic religions don't have it's fetish side. All the ritual killings we've been reading, is it not Muslims clerics that prepare the rituals from them.
Ifa oracle is not even a religion, it's a teaching on the virtuous journey of life.

Finally, yoruba inclusion in Nigeria will always be negative to us, present yoruba generation may not agree but that's the truth.
Nigeria is filled with hunger, oppression and abject poverty. It's a dog eat dog world in Nigeria. There's no way yorubas can thrive in such toxic environment. We will only copy the bad and corrupt ways of other Nigerian and prop up very bad and selfish leaders like tinubu.
Remember yorubas never got themselves involved in the Atlantic slave trade until we allowed Islam and fulanis into our midst in the turn of the nineteenth century- that's what happen when u allow corrupt minds into our midst and it's happening again.

Your words is the 'Yoruba ronu' we should be echoing, not some nonsense on how 'yoruba should support tinubu as the next president of Nigeria'.

Thanks a lot for your post. It's very refreshing in this our challenging times when it seems all yoruba is living for is the Nigerian presidency.

I don't blame u for talking nonsense but Ukraine that trusted foolishly. They foolishly gave up their nuclear weapons based on written agreement on worthless piece of paper. Now Russia has torn the useless paper and spat on their face.
If they still have their nuclear program intact, Russia will not dare try this nonsense.
After this war, there will definitely be proliferation of nuclear arms globally.
Iraq, Libya, Syria and Ukraine would have been safe countries today if only they had nuclear weapons.

That north Korean leader will be having a last laff. I was among those who opposed his nuclear program but now I know better. Nuclear weapons is the only reality check against warmongers.

Before I went to sleep, my wife said to me: This Russia is such a bad country, If Ukraine wants to join Nato, it is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene, this is just an excuse for Russia to invade Ukarine.

So I said nothing, I just went to the kitchen and took a knife to bedside, then I said: Let’s go to sleep.

My wife looked at me with her wide eyes: What the heck are you doing, sleeping with a knife?!?!

I said: No worry, let’s go to sleep. Beside, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and it is my freedom.

My wife said: How can I sleep when you are sleeping with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?

I said: Well, You don’t even trust your own husband, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine? Me sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining the Nato.

U all talking nonsense and I blame Ukraine for their predicament. They foolishly gave up their nuclear weapons based on written agreement on worthless piece of paper. Now Russia has torn the useless paper and spat on their face.
If they still have their nuclear program intact, Russia will not dare try this nonsense.
After this war, there will definitely be proliferation of nuclear arms globally. Iraq, Libya, Syria and Ukraine would have been safe countries today if only they had nuclear weapons.

Should I give you her number or Fb name so you can help her mr rich guy…

My piece of advice..stop stalking girls on FB or collecting their numbers. Go and work hard, and make money. Then come back and we will have this discussion again.

If u want to help her, do so. Don't come n be forming genuine man here.
No be toto u sef wan chop. If she no bill u for the conversation, I'm sure by now u will be dragging her to come n visit u.
Soup wey sweet, an money kill am. Cunny man jam cunny woman, no need for lamentation.
I think I'm beginning to agree with naija women that broke guys shouldn't be thinking of sex.

Rugaria:
Nations will soon move away from using the dollar as the primary business tender and we will see how Americans can subsidize their hedonistic lifestyles with their dwindling exports..

If the world stop using dollar. Then the world will have to find a replacement country for America's humongous import appetite...and good luck with that.
Otherwise, welcome to another great depression. Where every country wants to export but nobody wants to import.
A lot of people don't understand the current global prosperity is as a result of the dollar being the global currency. Remove it and the world economy is in trouble.

Kingcalls:
Hypocrisy is when the same usa think they have the right to invade sovereign States like Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, sponsor rebels in Syria, Yemen, Libya ... Israel invading Palestine but condemn Russia that do same ... thats my understanding of Hypocrisy

So both u and USA are in the same basket, Not me. The writer should have come out to say he's anti-usa instead of playing on our intelligence writing nonsense.

I condemn the ongoing apartheid against the people of Palestine by the Israeli govt. That area is now the largest open prison in the world.
The world's patience is wearing thin with Israel and it's only a matter of time public opinion is fully against them.

Samuelxxx:
Sister calm down for me ooo any enemy of the west is Africa friend. They can’t do worse than the people you see as saviours

I see no one as saviour. I'm simply objective about the matter on ground.

They simply gave him a soft landing. That conversation was simply too implicating.
Why was he going about asking for the police chief phone number? He almost put another Nigerian in trouble with his stupidity.
People could notice he mentioned that he was the justice minister five times when arguing with the constable....that shows ego tripping, do u who I am?

He was lucky the police the police chief didn't urge him on during their conversation. He could have set a trap for him and am sure Madu will fall for it.
I guess the fact that the police chief said he wasn't going to talk about the ticket was the reality check...u are not special, either pay or go to court.

Canada is trying to warm it's way tru ethnic minorities and I think that was his saving grace.
Try that shit in USA or Uk, u will thank your lucky stars if not prosecuted.

Kingcalls:
Y are u insulting the writer....u are neither Russian or American u not from Ukraine u definitely are here in Nigeria u hv never visited those places, u hv no business interestin any of them ...so whats ur problem...

My problem is the stinking hypocrisy oozing out from the stench of the writers corrupt thought process.
It's the same hypocrisy that got us to where we are today as a nation. Always giving excuse for evil either in the name of rent seeking or nepotism. So yes it's affecting me. This same writer will approach Nigerian problem with this devious hypocritical attitude.

Yorubas in APC will never condemn the massacre of their kinsmen on the farm by Fulani herdsmen...because of 2023 presidency. But wait until they lose out....na their scream go loud pass for this country. That's when Tinubu and his supporters will FINALLY SEE all the evil of Buhari presidency.

I hate hypocrisy...God knows.

Enough of all this stupid analysis. No where did the fool condemn Russian invasion of a sovereign country.

I'm sure if America invade Mexico for whatever reason, this fool writer will be screaming to the top of his lungs shouting imperialist monster. Now it's Russia doing gangsterism on global stage, he's seeking meaningless justification and rationalisation. Some people no just get sense.

When America invaded Iraq, the whole world condemned it.
Even American forces were criticised for getting involved in Syrian civil war without any formal invitation. That was one of the drawback of Obama's administration.
What is good for the gander is good for the goose? Enough of all this hypocrisy.
On this matter, I stand with the Ukrainians. Russia is evil.
If Putin wants Ukraine to turn eastward, he should offer them a better deal. Simple.

They simply gave him a soft landing. He now needs to work harder to build the public trust if he jas any hope of furthering his political career.

Forget sanctions. Give weapons n ammo to Ukrainian soldiers now. That's what they need. Once putin install his puppet regime in kiev, it's game over. All sanctions becomes useless.

Putin is a mad man who decided to thwart the will of Ukrainians who wanted close relationship with E.U.
if Putin wants them closer to him, he should offer Ukrainians a better deal instead of bombing them to submission.

People supporting Putin are equally mad people. They are bullies, aggressors, short tempered nitwits who believe in use of violence and force to win an argument.
That's why Nigeria refuse to offer a better deal to the restive south eastern Nigeria yet wants them to remain in an unloving Nigeria. Very evil people.

As for NATO and western nations, it's obvious they suffering the outcome of wokeism and cancel culture destroying their system. They no longer have men, but whoozy-poozy soft hearted effeminate chimps who can't made hard decision in difficult and perilious times.

What's so difficult in kicking Russia out of SWIFT? They are afraid the sweet dollars of the oligarch will dry up.

This crises have been ongoing for 8 yrs, that's enough time to properly weaponise the Ukraine army and get them battle ready. Instead they were being diplomatic hoping putin will change his mind.

How in the world do u hope to get something meaningful out of a tense deal when u negotiating from a position of weakness. U go to negotiating table from a position of strength....something aloof to western leaders.
Gives arms n modern weapons to Ukraine and then call for negotiation with Russia.

I hope Taiwan is watching. U are next and better dont put hope on western nations. Develop a winning strategy and counter offensive measures against your own bully..china, otherwise just shut up.

Juventus4life:
Why did NATO send their soldiers to Kosovo, Croatia, Serbia,Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya?
What are America soldiers presently doing in Japan, South Korea, and Niger?

Have they not learnt their lessons?
Go to American social forums...they all crying that biden shouldn't get them involved. Politicians should stop sending people's son to die for their greed.
The only people who should fight are ukranians otherwise Russia should annexe Ukraine.

Juventus4life:
Now Ukraine will know who theirs real friends are. Military hardware and software is not enough to fight Russia send personnel to the war front mr. Johnson

Why should foreigners die for your cause? Makes no sense.
NATO should send arms and weaponry. They should should also use sanctions to cripple Russian economy.
Ukranians should go and fight Russians and defend their land.

How can someone earning 1.5 million per month think of relocating to uk to go and for job. Which kain reasoning be dat.

I think Seun is beginning to use this abroad v Nigeria thread to generate traffic. Tribal thread is beginning to get too hot for comfort.

ivolt:
Don't mind the poser.
I was shocked that many people agreed with him even though he doesn't
understand the problem he is trying to solve.

Nigeria is practically a socialist economy and we don't even make the top 100 capitalist country.
Almost every sector is under one subsidy or the other with people demanding for more freebies.

Well, he has some pictures of fancy houses to be magically built by willing communist slaves.
And he is damn sure that having such structures is the height of development.

Is there anything wrong with cheap mass housing for the citizens? U people made it sound like a stupid idea.
Jakande estates and the federal housing units in festac are testament to the nobility of the idea. They were affordable accommodation that pioneered emergence of middle class neighbourhood in Nigeria. I'm a proud product of such neighbourhood in ogun state.

The other guy talking about run-down council flats in London and Chicago don't know what he's talking about. Those flats were livesaver to millions of commoners who would have been without a home.
Now that everything has been taken over by loan sharks masquerading as mortgage companies, how are those countries faring with homeless and destitutes roaming their streets for to lack of cheap houses. Travel to east Los Angeles where homelessness is rampant and u will weep for America.

U can't be talking about urbanisation without decent modern houses. Or is it not here on nairaland where towns in southwest are mocked for their dilapidated houses- so call brown roof. If the southwest gov demolish those derelicts and build modern affordable houses, will it not be pleasing to the eyes?

I'm suspecting u are one of apc supporters on this forum, so I'm not surprised by your response. APC and it's followers are egg heads who have no idea how to run a successful and prosperous economy. All they care about is power grabbing and promoting rent seeking economy.
It's a big shame that something Jakande achieved without borrowing a kobo almost 40 years ago is now seen as impossible by some clueless Buhari followers.

paris10:
Though your experience is believable with lots of credence, but you sha surprised me with your ignorance. You're black & should have known before hand that you ain't escaping racism in any form or shape.

UK is the most racist country in the world with the title of 'subtle' attached to it. You're never good or vital as long as the white man's stance. You're just another monkey or nigg@. Now, the value you placed on yourself would determine how far you go in life. Be assertive, eloquent, & educated them about Africa.

Africa, Nigeria especially is a far better country than the UK. Yes, I said it. Ok , you're thinking of constant power, portable water, access to healthcare, & good pay right? But what about the condition of your existence? You're conditioned & engineered to spend 70% of your earnings on Bill's. You're mandated for things like insurance, TV license, 24 hour CCTV monitoring, constant profiling by the cops and little to save.

Nigeria now has one of the best real estate establishments in the world. Our houses are far better, we have social lives, we build our houses without mortgages or loans, we buy our cars outright, we walk free with mental freedom awareness, we have suya spots & other delicious eateries all around the country. You're fed junk foods that makes you to lose your sense of belonging in the MOTHERLAND.

If we want change, we do it ourselves and stop glorifying fraudsters & bad governance. We opt for cleaner energy and purify boreholes to gain access to portable water. We buy moulds and start from our streets and start building our roads ourselves through interlocking patterns. We vote out older generation and start embracing youths with visions and hardworking.

We build the nation ourselves and stop all these nonsense of which country is better. People make N1m a day and some more in Nigetia. Get connected and be proactive.

God bless Nigeria.

Forget all this thrash u wrote. Nigeria is not even better than Togo.
The ritual killing epidemic is even making it worse.
Every emerging economy is a good place to live if u have money. Cost of living is lower- disposable income is higher.

Upper class anywhere in the world don't live abroad. They can afford to be anywhere...monaco, Singapore, ascott, Beverly hills, Dubai. Just name it.
It's not just Nigerian millionaires. Globally, millionaires' loyalty lies with their wealth and not any location. They can't be tied down, they've gone past that stage.
It's the middle class that relocate permanently and that should be the focus of this discussion.
My advice is simple. If u are upper middle class and have a good job in Nigeria and it's stable, u should think twice b4 jumping overseas. Except u are a professional, your personal standard of living will significantly drop when u start living in western nations esp if u are the kind of person not use to hard work or use to easy sweet money.
Abroad is not for everyone. It takes grit and hard work to make a breakthrough. Its definitely not for lazy people.

adamsmith914:
No billionaire in Nigeria from Tinubu, Otedola, Shubomi Balogun, Ibrus to Dangote lives abroad.

How much did they pay in taxes in Oyibo man’s land? Only the poor like you will want to live abroad.

Even me wey no get money, dey go, dey come, not to talk of billionaires that money ain’t a thing?

Where's aisha buhari living? An honest answer settles the dispute.
I know for sure that otedola spends a lot of time in london.

mediainc:
So many came back to start business, not everyone have enough brains or will to become an entrepreneur, some are meant to.be workers till they die...most prefer going to America for trips and business, not everyone like being a bloody immigrant or second class citizen

On a serious note, we need more Nigerians to travel out, and send back foreign payments, so Nigeria traveling out is a good thing, since our population is huge.

In case you don't know. U not a first class citizen in Nigeria. No dey deceive yourself.
It's the lawlessness and man know man connection that gives a resemblance of privilege in Nigeria.

Western media is becoming a global laughing stock. I really don't understand how someone can continue to repeat his own lies unashamedly. Even western citizens now regard their media as a joke.
If putin fails to invade Ukraine, they will lose all credibility.

adonainana:
Majority go and do menial jobs abroad they would never ever in thier life do here in Nigeria. There is a minimum wage so they bet the basics, just about 10 years ago, naira was manageable even if you went to wash toilet or not or you left nigeria there were a lot of Nigerians richer than you who never left

This was the message being passed, a lot of people are suffering abroad, Nigeria had a lot of potential even with exchange rate being 200 to 1 dollar . Things have changed

Nobody comes abroad to wash toilet or plates anymore. That era is gone. At least as far as uk is concerned.
People who desire to hustle anyhow anyway now travel to Dubai or Malaysia. They don't cf ome to western nations...how dem wan even take collect visa.
Most recent Nigerian migrants to uk are professionals like doctors, nurses, tech specialist or phd students who eventually become lecturers.
Get rid of that archaic mentality. I live in uk and none of my friends wash toilets.

Don't come and be forming unrealistic feminism. A marriage is at stake here, kids are involved.
Is it not kemi adetiba that was torn apart this morning for getting married as evening newspaper....despite her accomplishment n achievement.

Amazingbaby:
I called my husband and actually blasted him calling him a very big liar and how embarrassed I am.on Monday I left for the hospital he called and we discussed some business and the kids(I was actually not angry again knowing that he is no different from any other guy,if you see how he use to condemn cheating ehh....) Only for my mum to call me around 12 in the afternoon to ask me questions,my husband actually called my mum after I confronted him about what the girl said to tell her he is DONE with me,that I don't give him peace in the house that this and that.in summary calling the girl actually triggered divorce because I am ready for anything.

For those that are doubting that I am a woman,abeg I am.

I followed some lovely people advice and I have actually achieved alot of things this week

1i paid for driving lessons (he literally have to drive me everywhere or I take Uber)
2 I have dusted out my certificate and is seriously looking for jobs(I have contacted alot of outsourcing firms)
3 signed up for gym classes.

In a way I lost myself trying to be a good wife and mother that I literally drove away alot of my friends.i had to stop talking with a good olfriend of mine because my husband was chatting with her behind my back for long (this is one of the reasons I don't trust him)

Lots of information...

So what and what should I do to upgrade myself I have not work for a long time.

I seriously doubt he wants a divorce, he just wants his bruised ego restored and also wants to finally fix your problem- 'put u in your place'. The question is what do u want to do about it?
If u guys are abroad, I will say make u do small shakara. But naija....


Madam just beg him. If it means kneeling on your two knees, just do it- he's your husband. If not for anything, for the sake of the kids. At least uve made your point- u are not a fool.

Single motherhood is not a joke especially in conservative and 3rd world nations like Nigeria. U go old way pass your age. Remember no court can hold him down to do anything for u or your kids.
Most single mothers I know eventually travel abroad for the sake of their sanity.

This is a straw man argument.
Yorubas have never laid claim to the oil resources in naijadelta. May be as a commonwealth of Avery Nigerian citizen...definitely not beyond that claim.
No yoruba politicians ever came out to say cocoa money developed naija delta.

Its the northerners making it loud and clear that the oil fields in the naija delta is their heritage and that if Nigeria breaks, the off shore crude oil belongs to them. They also said they used groundnut money to develop the oil.

Yet this mad man will never face his main antagonist and refute their claim. It's the quiet and political correct yorubas he's taking a jibe at because he knows they won't respond.

He dare not make a sound in the presence of any hausa or Fulani hegemony. He knows that will be a suicide.
The fraudulent way he was made governor is the way he will be kicked out.

Stop arguing with those illiterates

Obama was the worst President jn recent years

I agree with u on Obama is the worst American president in recent yrs. He should have checked china but did not nothing for 8 full yrs. By the time Trump came in it was too late.
China stole tech secrets and manipulated trade policies right under Obama's nose, the mumu did nothing only for him to come up with one useless trans Pacific trade agreement in the twilight of his tenure.
The truth is USA need trump now. His domestic policy is one kind but america biggest enemies ATM are outside and not within. If they are not checked, it will soon be game over for america.

Hijab is unafrican and not even in the Koran.
It's a borrowed concept from wahhabbi Islamic practice promoted and funded by the Saudi family.

I understand if Muslims wants to die for an instruction in the koran but to set the country ablaze because of something not in the koran is madness.

Koran instructs women to dress modestly and to cover their head. African women have been covering their heads b4 the advent of Islam on the continent.

It's not a must u force women to wear hijab, it's also not compulsory they wear it to school. Muslim girls can wear berets to cover their head.

Yoruba Muslims should be careful. They are the ones causing trouble one this hijab thing. The northern Muslims know better and are not even bothered about this fiasco.
They are the ones who wants to make this issue a national headache by always crying to the northerners for help- it will only backfire.

Yoruba Muslims should stop carrying hijab on their head like their live depend on it. Most educated northern Muslims women dont even wear hijab, instead they cover their head with their TRADITIONAL HEADGEAR and their men are cool with it.
WHY CANT YORUBA MUSLIMS WOMEN DO THE SAME WITH YORUBA TRADITIONAL HEADGEAR?

Instead you guys want to set the region on fire because of money u collecting from Saudi Arabia.
Sense is far from some people.

YoungLionken:
Objectively, I think the Islamic laws about women should be effected in Nigeria..

The moral decadence these days is something else..

It is almost impossible to go on Instagram for minutes without seeing things that would corrupt your decent mindset ..

It is hard not to agree that the Whites have risen above us in many areas(economy, security, education, welfare,etc), the only thing we have over them is our culture...

You don't have any better culture. The Nigerian culture is primitive, static, boring and lacks creativity. It promotes superstition and barbaric practice. That's why nobody is interested in studying it abroad. We even fail to project our food beyond our community.
Our morals and ethics is no way better than whites. It's only more hypocritical. That's what we have above whites.
A good culture births a sane and healthy society. A sane society produce moral and creative individuals who are passionate about preserving the health of the community. This in turn delivers a modern and solid civilisation.

Taiwan better keep quiet n hope that china chooses the path of diplomacy to resolve the cross-strait issue.
Inflammatory response will only provoke china. And most Chinese are ready to die if that's what it takes to reunite Taiwan.
Besides, Joe biden will do nothing but make some meaningless n useless remark. He won't even sanction china.
The only person with gut that can deal with China is Trump. Taiwan should wait until he's back in White House b4 they start running their mouth or else they only looking for trouble.
