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 grin

Foreign Affairs › Re: List Of 19 Countries Of Particular Concerns That US Paused Immigration by SixSeven: 6:11pm On Dec 03, 2025
motymop:
Some of these countries where destablise by the US grin
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?

Romance › Re: How You Should Run Your House When Your Woman Earns More Than You. by SixSeven: 4:04pm On Dec 03, 2025
Women are not built to bring the bread in the home where a man is there. What you will do is bring resentment to the woman. It is now becoming more of a thing where women are not only outearning men but also being the man in the house while the man takes the feminine role. We can't cheat nature. Men are providers, women are nurturers. If you let your woman babysit you at home, you are a weak man my friend. Do not get comfortable with that. Again, you need to realise that in the past, men married women in polygamous setting, some of who were richer than the man but those women knew what they wanted in a family and the role of a man in the family. Don't make this mistake. Women are okay working and being the sole provider but if you choose to be a deadbeat, you will beat yourself to dirt. These women realize that funding the man's lifestyle makes it easier for him to cheat and what's worse than a woman funding her competitor with her money? Women love structure, they love authority, they love to be inspired and you don't do that sitting down and letting her lead. Even where she earns more, she still wants you to provide. It's not a competition, it's nature.

Listening to negative voices. It will keep you down. I realized it was all in my head. We suffer more in imaginación. So if you ever have doubtful thoughts or fear that something will happen in future, erase that thought and combat the fear. Don't die in the hunger games of fear, you won't make any progress. I got my head out of this worrying thought after 2 weeks and I was so sad that I looked down on all I had accomplished and let fear sip in 🤔

You've spoken about lot of nonsense.

How does a man who clearly insulted a group of people compare with appointing as ambassador an INEC boss who has not been found guilty of any offence? This is not perception this is a crime.

In Yakubus case His only guilt was that he presided over an election in which some people lost and one person won. The case went all the way to the SC but some dead ender can't let it go.

Ezra?

You are flailing and failing. Is there anything remotely similar to this case?

Go and find an example worthy of the name and then we will talk about public perception. And I will show you the hypocrisy behind it and why strong leaders dont rule by optics.
Your response has made me realize that this discussion is not worth the exchange here. I wanted to refer you to listen to analysts on what international relations have to say about having an INEC Chair get a nomination just after an election but I realize that comprehension and judgment are factors that will elude this conversation. I agree with you and I am wrong, you are 💯

Musa is minister of defense and not CDS. He is already retired from service. Musa may not even be taking orders from Tinubu. Musa was appointed under pressure from the US. It can be said that Musa presently is more powerful than Tinubu.
Who backs Tinubu? The Nigerian armed forces.
Who backs Musa? The military of the United States.

There is a reason why the US wanted him there. They will bypass Tinubu and relate straight with Musa.

Matawalle will resign in the coming days.
My friend, there is a reason why the President is the Commander in Chief of Armed Forces. Let Musa not sit in FEC and go sit with Trump's cabinet in Washington. You people play too much.

Our governors are part of the problems we have. They all want to emperors. They have grown to be so powerful and it's a waste of time now to contest against an incumbent. Look at South Africa, na ANC comot Zuma from power. Party should be stronger than politicians. The president or Governor cannot be the leader of the party under whose platform he won, except it's parliamentary system which you know that if you lose, everyone goes so they are checking you. This is what gave the likes of Wike to be so strong that they think without them the party cannot survive. I don't see this one different from Atiku and ADC.

Let me help you and the readers with another recent real life situation. You will see that gra gra no do anything for life.



Martin Bally, an executive who allegedly made comments to a former employee that disparaged Indian workers and said the company's products were for "poor people," has left the company.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNV22s4SxxA


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgCG355ywcw

In a statement, Campbell's said it determined that a recording that captured the purported conversation involving Bally is authentic. The company said Bally, a vice president in information technology at the food manufacturer, "is no longer employed by the company."

The alleged comments came to light last week in a lawsuit filed by Robert Garza, who was hired by Campbell's as a cybersecurity analyst in September 2024. In the complaint, Garza claimed Bally made the offensive remarks during a November 2024 meeting to discuss his salary.

According to the suit, Bally made several comments about Indian workers and said Campbell's makes "highly [processed] food" for "poor people."

The discussion between Garza and Bally was recorded, according to Runyan Law Group, which is representing Garza. That recording captured comments, allegedly by Bally, that claimed the company's soup uses "bioengineered meat" and that denigrated the abilities of Indian workers.

"The comments were vulgar, offensive and false, and we apologize for the hurt they have caused," Campbell's said in its latest statement. "This behavior does not reflect our values and the culture of our company, and we will not tolerate that kind of language under any circumstances."

The company added that it learned about the lawsuit and first heard "segments" of the recording on Nov. 20, noting that neither Garza nor his attorney had notified Campbell's about the audio recording's existence.

According to Garza's lawsuit, he informed his manager about the comments on Jan. 10, and further alleged he wasn't encouraged to report the incident to human resources. Garza was then "abruptly terminated from employment" shortly afterwards, the lawsuit alleges.

Garza's suit alleges he suffered stress, humiliation, embarrassment and mental anguish as a result of Bally and his manager's actions. He is seeking compensation for emotional, reputational and economic harm, as well as attorneys' fees, according to the complaint.

Na so Elon Musk do so tay e get sense. He got away with it in his previous attempts until Oga Trump put a full stop to his rants.

The Musk–Trump episode makes something very clear: results matter, but they don’t exist in a vacuum. The moment Musk criticized Trump’s landmark bill, perception became a political weapon, and the impact hit his companies harder than any technical failure would have. Investors panicked, government relationships strained, and public opinion shifted, all independent of whether Tesla built good cars or SpaceX launched successful rockets. Chasing perception for its own sake is a race to the bottom but the opposite has its own risks. Leaders who ignore perception entirely can find themselves blindsided, not because their results weren’t real, but because results alone can’t neutralize political power, media dynamics, or public narrative.

That's not how international politics works. Of what benefit is their removal to Nigerians? Every country looks for what is in its interest and their benefits. No free charity. If US sends soldiers to Nigeria, it will not only give it access to our land, it will give its soldiers work to do here. They will use the exercise as case study for their army. US will also have a negotiating chip to hold Nigeria by the blokos. Let me surprise you. Are you aware that US military guards certain parts of Japan? It was a 'deal' they had after that war. Japanese have asked US to leave but it's recently when the US guards arrested a fellow American that attention has been drawn to it again. The US could be interested in setting a base in Nigeria and we have given them the opportunity to do so. Ditch Africom.

International politics is WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME? It's not because US does not have its own problems that it's putting mouth in Nigeria. More Christians are killed in US than in Nigeria but as I said, what is their own interest is why they are chooking mouth here. If you build your defence well, it's easy to attack.

Not everyone who campaigns for elections can make effective operators of the polity. There is politics, there is governance.

FFK should be posted to the State of Israel. Since Shettima castigated Israel at the UN for the genocide in Gaza, that's when the Christian genocide response from Trump came out. FFK is strong about his position and he has good knowledge of Israel.

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. Inna lillahi!

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

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

The President is more of a politician than anything else. Puts politics above everything and doesn't hide it. That's why we've gotten here.

He prefers yes men and his supporters don't tell him the home truth. He said he would continue where Buhari stopped and this is what Bubu did too, reward loyalty even if it will cost the nation. Again, there is time for politics, there is time for governance.

Those who sponsor your campaign into office are not always the best to campaign for you in office. There's a difference.

When Obasanjo sacked Dariye from office he said, “If anything, some of his utterances, his lackadaisical attitude and seeming uneven-handedness… over the contending issues present him as not just part of the problem, but also as an instigator and a threat to peace,” Obasanjo said. “I hereby declare a state of emergency in Plateau State,” he added.

That's what is called hands-on. You take decisive actions. You warn them if they play hanky panky. Obasanjo is not perfect, we all remember what the 19 Northern governors did but I have to give him credit for some handling of these problems, he did not let anyone think they could get away with formenting crisis, the attitude that made it difficult for MEND to stop their attacks.
