hmmm would u agree to marriage to a single mother

As long as the family is involved. I come from the old school so this wasn't and hasn't been a problem. Family is very important in marriage of any kind.

You are the sum of your thoughts and decisions. Blame others all you want but you're still responsible for your own life.

AMINDA:
Ribadu needs to get serious. He can't go about promising characters like Reno Omokri V.P slot just to buy his support for Tinubu. He's the National Security Adviser. The worst set up Tinubu did was to give him that portfolio, being aware that he has a political ambition. Trump has made sure that propaganda and usage of data boys for PR can no longer hoodwink the people.

The irony of my first picture wrt this topic is . Don't forget Ribadu was their candidate in 2011.

The President is faster to appoint his renewed hope ambassadors for his political ambition than country ambassadors that is for the good for all

commoditiesnig:
Stop being silly with this childish comment all over the place!.. which “trump”?

Unfortunately, he is right. APC tried to defend the fact that Tinubu did not appoint ambassadors but here we are today.

Reno is a failed man with no principle and integrity.
A man you once openly called a drug Baron and unfit to become President, is now the same man who want to represent as an Ambassador.
So you are representing an unfit president, it show how mentally unfit Reno is.

A person without principles is like the wave of the sea, wherever the wind blows that surely will be it's direction.

Men choose the mothers for their children. If you know what that means, you know what to do. Never reduce your standards if you have one. You'll get who you deserve.

This is an indictment on the North and their elites. What a shame. You always think others don't like you but refuse to accept your hypocrisy using religion to play games, dangerous games.

Northern Nigeria stands today as a wounded giant, a region caught between the memory of what the Sardauna dreamed and the stark reality created by those who inherited his mantle but not his moral weight. The promise of a people rising through education, productive labour and communal dignity has been slowly suffocated by a ruling class more devoted to its own comfort than to the welfare of the millions in its charge. Power has been held tightly, yet its dividends seldom reach the ground. Poverty spreads like a harmattan fire, children drift out of school, and entire communities live at the mercy of bandits who move with the audacity of men who know the state has abandoned its duty. They call them unknown gunmen, like they are unknown soldiers.

In place of principled leadership, religion is deployed as a curtain behind which incompetence and greed hide. Criticism is dismissed as sacrilege, and the faithful are urged to be patient even as their world collapses around them. And when voices beyond our borders, including Trump’s recent warning, point to the gathering storm, the official response is silence, an indictment in itself.

This is not the North the Sardauna laboured for. It is a fragile creation of neglect, denial and the smallness of those who should have stood tall. The North should tell itself the truth and stop blaming others. Stop using religion as a cover. You look down on Southerners just the way the Arabs look down at Africans, call them Abdi and you call yourselves Muslim. You only want serfs while you and your families remain feudal lords, denying them of education and empowerment while your one class receive the best education in the world. Inna lillahi!

This is Northern Nigeria one year before independence. Ask, what happened

Only truth, courage and accountable leadership can begin the work of restoration.

Conscience is an open wound. Only truth can heal it.

DMCY:
It’s better to get a lady there and marry her than bringing your wife all the way from Nigeria but una no go learn. You felt you knew her,lol, do you know the friends she moved with after you left? Obviously,NO. Yet you still wanna try it, I no dey pity these kind people sha.

Human beings cannot pretend for too long so do not say the Nigerian wife is worse or better than the abroad wife. Those who have been abroad know what their eyes have seen, that's why they come home to look for wives. Ask your bros who marry women who grew up there. Until you have stepped into someone's shoes, it's easy to paint everything as black and white. What's funny about marriage is the question someone asked on social media recently. They asked,

Why don't we hear more news about good marriages and someone responded,

BECAUSE FLIGHTS THAT LAND SAFELY DON'T MAKE THE NEWS.

I know people who took a Nigerian woman there and did well and vice versa. Even the women come back home to Nigeria because 1, the men could be gay. 2, the men may not like black women. 3, the men may have bad morals corrupted by western life.

Why are people going all the way to Philippines, Thailand and other countries to marry TRADITIONAL WIVES If Nigerian women know what they are doing, most men know the value of a good woman not corrupted by western world. We would have been a big market for diaspora wedding because they know the value of a well brought up person. So I say to you that it's not about the location, it's about the person because environment will change but your values will steer you in the right direction.


@ Topic, the man is doing fear mongering. He should be happy that she has shown her true color. It's dangerous to be competing with a woman who's selling you to the spy. It's a hard lesson but just because he has had this experience doesn't mean we should start feasting on fears. What I advise men is to look at the family first because a woman whose family has high standards has more fear from her family than yourself. She will remember where she came from. Let's remove abroad from this story. What if she did this in Nigeria? Do you see where the family comes in? Whose family will accept away goal as their own? Their lineage don spoil be that. Africa should not lose its grip on their strong family and moral foundations, it's something admired by the Western world.

Laple0541:
There we go again…..

Ghanians with their inferiority complex mentality. No country in the world dance to the Azonto’s song by ODG a Ghanian then than Nigerians. Even Awilo Logomba clearly expressed his feelings on how Nigerian listeners catapulted his acceptance globally.

If you do good music or film, we will watch but you can force your things on us just because they are from Ghana.

You nailed it on its head. She's being deceptive with this. Nigerians watched Big Brother so much that they had to create a Nigerian version. Numbers don't lie. If Nigerians like a thing, they will adopt it like Jollof Rice that's not theirs
And then they will complain again that Nigerians are appropriating their own

On paper. No impact feeling at all.

How can you be building or rising on the downfall of another?

Teni no too try with this one. Daddy freeze must receive stray bullets too. That one na another selfish, cunny freindnemy!

DF is an experienced journalist but I think content has taken over his professionalism. Who professionalism epp for social media?
The need to be trending and promote his channel for views and clicks (money) has taken over people's ethics. What's ethics sef? Social media is full of drama and social anxiety, that's what drives the algorithm. In the other thread, I expressed how disappointed with how men of today are doing tatafo like women (sorry my sisters) instead of inserting the bro code and protecting each other. Men fix their problems and protect others from shame, they don't do this public service enquiry into one another. Even if the manager feels that woman will kpao 2Baba career, there are more mature ways of putting it out there. Na d men disappoint me in this drama. See what technology has done to us. Men wey suppose enter infantry go defend Nigeria Don turn to Cho Cho Cho

You can clearly see naivety here. They say do not mock anyone for the same fate may befall you. It's no joke. She's not married yet so she won't and can't understand. You know how many things people swore they would never do only to do the same thing later? Life will humble you. Sit down and observe, if you have nothing good to contribute, keep it quiet.

Hmmmmm2024:
Is the minister appointed to protect trump or 200 millions Nigerians ? If the 200 millions Nigerians are not important, that man would not have been appointed as minister...where is your sense ? Tell your terrorists brothers to give up because trump is coming and there is nothing you can do about it

Are you saying that you can't solve your problem without Trump? What happens when he leaves office? What if he didn't win? Your moniker rightly fits your reply. Hmmmm mm, wake up from 2024.

Somehow she has a point. What men need to do is to know their value. If she chooses to leave you for him, be very happy and do not let her back. You don't force people to love you and don't let her make you feel insecure with competition. Let her make her choices and move on. This is why it's more important for a woman to love more than the man because they are emotional beings.

BondRiv:
You don't know what you are talking about. U.S. ban is exactly what it is - a ban from the U.S. If their allies see reasons to implement such a ban, they also do. It is not something that is automatic. Other countries do not automatically follow suit. U.S. lobbies them or even resorts to threats.

Okay, you are correct if you insist. Have a great night.

What is interesting about the US intervention is that Tinubu has the opportunity to use them as an excuse to end the Northern Leaders' exploitation of power and control of the country.

motymop:
you are the one that need the education. The US didn't sanction Abrahamovich, so what are you talking about.

do you understand that elites do not do businesses in their own name, they do business with offshore businesses that is not link to them incase they are sanctioned, this companies can still conduct businesses in other countries as long as the companies does not trade with US companies or financial systems.

I see that you don't understand the topic you have brought here. Don't worry, I said speak to a Banker, after all, those are the people who send money and know how it works. The Abrahamovich sanction was against Russia but you still didn't understand the point I was making that your assets abroad are affected if those countries are with the countries issuing the sanctions. US influences the global financial control, in fact, the US writes it, they just call it international. Few months ago when Nigeria was removed from the FATF list, your honorable members and Senators literally celebrated it on the house and one of them said they can start buying houses in London and the abroad without any problem. I was surprised to see our legislator open his mouth like that on the house like that. You think the Arabian countries are not affected? The same UAE that cooperated with US to flush Hushpuppy? You think America and Saudi don't do business? The US is still the class captain of the global financial system. This topic is clearly above your understanding and that is not meant to insult you. Enjoy your time sir.

They have started again. From cabal to kitchen cabinet to Yahoo boys pressing Aso Rock laptop from outside. Why have we made all our Presidents look weak? Even Obasanjo was not spared. Let the President speak to us.

Here’s a clear, high-level real-world–style example showing how U.S. sanctions affect someone even if they no longer have any connection to the United States:


---

Real-World Style Example: How U.S. Sanctions Affect a Non-U.S. Individual

Scenario
A business owner in Country A is sanctioned by the U.S., even though:
they do no business with the U.S.,
have no U.S. assets, and
operate entirely outside the United States.


How the Impact Happens

1. Foreign Banks Stop Working With Them
Most international banks rely on:
- U.S. dollar clearing,
- correspondent accounts in the U.S., or
- U.S.-based payment infrastructure.

Because banks fear losing access to the U.S. financial system, they usually close the sanctioned person’s accounts—even if the business is fully outside the U.S.

2. International Partners Cut Them Off
Suppliers, clients, and logistics firms in other countries avoid them because:
- they don’t want to risk secondary sanctions,
- they want to stay compliant with global risk standards,
- insurers and auditors may refuse service.
This makes it extremely difficult to maintain normal business operations.

3. Payments Get Blocked or Delayed
Even if they try to pay a foreign supplier in Euros or another currency:
- the payment may still pass through a U.S. bank,
- automated systems can flag or freeze the transaction.
The result: slow or impossible cross-border finance.

4. Their Foreign Assets Become Hard to Use
Property, investments, or business stakes in other countries may be:
- frozen,
- restricted, or
- refused transfer by intermediaries (law firms, custodians, brokers).


5. Technology and Digital Services Are Cut Off

They may lose access to:
- U.S.-origin software and cloud platforms,
- global apps or tools that incorporate U.S. components,
- payment services like Visa/Mastercard.
This affects operations even if the business is outside the U.S.

6. Travel Restrictions Disrupt Business
Visa bans or enhanced screening complicate:
- attending conferences,
- meeting clients abroad,
- managing overseas operations.



If you have a banker friend, just ask him or her to help you understand how these things work, you don't need to argue on NL, talk to a real life person you know. I don't know who I am chatting with but if you have worked before, you will know how these things work. Have a good evening.

motymop:
how does that relate with what you wrote, they mentions countries, we are talking about the individual

if the US sanction or give a visa ban to an individual, the jurisdiction is only the US

A US sanction affects countries that trade with US. I edited my comment for you. You need to have a good understanding of

1. Intentational financial system
2. International politics

The countries and companies in those countries that do business with that individual are trying the US if they do business with them so even if they run to Saudi, as long as they are still doing business with US, it's not an escape. I urge you to study Cuba and you'll understand how US sanctions work on not just countries alone. There are Cubans who have japa'ed and can make their country better but US sanctions are affecting them. When there was covid, the US policy on Cuba could not let them do certain work. Study international politics and financial system to understand this. I leave you with an AI summary

High-Level Impact of U.S. Sanctions on an Individual

Global Financial Restrictions
Most international banks use the U.S. financial system or the U.S. dollar. A sanctioned person is often blocked from using these banks, even outside the U.S., because foreign banks fear losing access to U.S. markets.

Reputational and Compliance Risk
Foreign companies and institutions avoid sanctioned individuals to protect themselves from secondary sanctions or compliance violations, making it hard to find partners or service providers.

Asset Freezes and Transaction Blocking
Any assets connected to the U.S. financial system—directly or indirectly—can be frozen. Payments routed through U.S. banks can be blocked automatically.

Secondary Sanctions Pressure
Even if the individual doesn’t deal with the U.S., the U.S. can penalize foreign companies that continue doing business with them, discouraging those companies from engaging.

Restrictions on Travel and Access
Visa bans and travel limitations can hinder business mobility and international operations.

Contract and Supply Chain Disruptions
International partners may terminate contracts to avoid compliance issues, disrupting supply chains and business operations.

Technology and Service Cutoffs
Access to software, platforms, or technology originating from the U.S. (or using U.S. IP) may be prohibited.

You have the internet, use these things. I can't waste so much time trying to educate on an issue we have seen happen over and over again. When there were sanctions against Abrahamovich, even his assets in Canada were affected, it wasn't just the UK. Read and you can know more.

motymop:
that is not true.

Tell me what is not true. I don't think you have an idea of how US influences other countries and the financial systems in the world.

SeverusSnape:
They will be affected one way or another. The US can ask their allies to freeze their foreign accounts and seize their properties...

Personally, I feel the US should target that goatie O'mockery, for denying the genocide in the first place.

The US does not need to ask. Whenever US announces its policies, it affects other countries and they don't want to offend them so it automatically applies to them. If US puts you on a ban list, you are already there on behalf of other countries.

AMINDA:
Bullies only bow to a bigger bully. Tinubu paid no mind to the outcry of Nigerians until Trump came into the picture. He has since declared an emergency on security, nominated ambassadors, sacked a minister of defence, etc. He obviously rates Trump more than the people whom elected him.

I like your first sentence. It works on Trump too. Nice analysis.

Amotolongbo:
You can be arrested for raping someone but you can’t be arrested for raping yourself

I don't think this is the best comparison because he who masturbates wants the pleasure. Is it the devil he will blame? It is with your own consent you please yourself. Maybe when you have sex in your dream, we can call it rape but you can choose to wake up from the dream too

I'm expecting MURIC's response.

Trump is more important than 200 million Nigerians abi? Have you no shame that the outsider is the one you fear than your people? And you call yourselves representative of the people? I remember the remarks this Akpabio made about the poor people of Nigeria when he started his tenure as Senate President.

motymop:
Some of these countries where destablise by the US

The irony of it all. I asked AI to further expand on your post

Here are some of the countries from your list that — historians and analysts widely agree — have been destabilized, at least in part, by U.S. foreign policy. I highlight those cases with the strongest evidence below. (Others on your list have no clear record of major direct U.S. destabilizing intervention.)


---

✅ Countries noticeably destabilized by U.S. foreign policy

Afghanistan — U.S. invasion after 2001, and subsequent 20-year war, deeply destabilized the country. The overthrow of the Taliban didn’t lead to a stable state: after U.S./NATO withdrawal in 2021, the country fell back into chaos.
Libya — U.S. (with NATO) 2011 air strikes to topple the regime dismantled a functioning (if authoritarian) state and triggered civil war, fragmentation, and ongoing instability.
Somalia — U.S. overt and covert interventions (1990s UN-backed interventions, later drone/air strikes) helped produce collapse of central authority, civil war, and decades of instability.
Yemen — U.S. involvement in counterterror operations (including drone strikes and support for allied interventions) significantly worsened internal conflict, humanitarian collapse and state breakdown.
Haiti — U.S. interventions and military interventions (e.g. 1994 intervention to “restore” democracy) produced repeated cycles of instability, weak institutions, and chronic political dysfunction.
Cuba — Longstanding U.S. hostility, economic pressure, covert actions and support for regime change efforts helped leave Cuba isolated, economically stunted, and politically repressed for decades.
Iran — The 1953 U.S.-backed coup overthrew a democratically elected government, replacing it with authoritarian rule — a foundational destabilizing event whose effects reverberate to this day.


---

📝 What about the others — “no clear case” or ambiguous?

For many countries on your list (e.g. Burundi, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan), while they may be “fragile” or “conflict-affected,” there is no widely accepted or documented major U.S. intervention or interference that matches the scale seen in the countries above.
The presence of a country on travel-ban lists (as in a recent U.S. policy) — by itself — doesn’t equal “destabilized by U.S. foreign policy.”


---

🧠 Summary — lost countries from your list

If I had to pick the ones from your list that were “lost” (i.e. severely destabilized or destroyed as functioning states / societies) by U.S. foreign policy, I’d mark:

Afghanistan

Libya

Somalia

Yemen

Haiti

Cuba

Iran


These are the cases with clear, documented interventions, coups or military campaigns by the U.S. that contributed to long-term instability or regime collapse.


---

If you like — I can also create a short tweet-ready list (max 280 characters per country) summarizing each of those “lost” cases — ready to copy-paste. Do you want me to build that for you now?

Please let this include everyone, including those who persecute our traditional religions in States. Thank you.

This reminds me of the CBN Governor Emefiele and Rivers Governor Wike back then.
