I the the US is up to something with these their warnings up and down. they might use this propaganda of Tinubu oppressing Christians to attack Nigeria and forces tinubu out of power in 2027 🤔. let's keep our finger crossed.!

I think the first wife's silence might be coming from a much simpler reason than many people are considering: she has likely moved on emotionally and may even have someone else special in her life.
When a woman has accepted the situation and shifted her focus to another person who genuinely values her, she no longer feels the need to react or compete. The silence isn't necessarily emotional maturity or exhaustion it could simply be that the second wife and the entire situation no longer matter to her because her attention and energy are now directed elsewhere.
That would also explain why the second wife keeps seeking reactions. Deep down, she probably senses that she hasn't truly 'won' the emotional space she wanted.

APC paid rodents. Their divide and rule tactics won't save their sorry ass in 2027 😌!

Because you're ugly doesn't you should propose that beautiful women lacks good character
They two are not mutually exclusive. I go for both! I can't live without one another 🙄

Nigeria should use military option if the south african government refuse

In Ancient Rome, girls could marry at 12 and it was common for them to wed much older men (even emperors and statesmen did this). Ancient Greece? Girls married around 14-16 to men in their 30s. Medieval Europe, Ancient Egypt, Persia same pattern across cultures. Men pursued women in their peak youthful fertility.
In art and literature, it's celebrated everywhere: Greek nymphs (young beautiful maidens desired by older figures), Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Titian’s sensual young Venuses, Waterhouse’s nymph paintings, even Shakespeare’s Juliet was only 13.
The idea that this attraction is some rare perversion is a very recent Western invention. Nature doesn’t suddenly change because we drew an arbitrary line at 18. Remove the heavy punishments and social terror tomorrow, and a massive number of men would stop pretending.
Civilization requires rules, but let’s not lie to ourselves about basic human nature .

Let's stop the copium. The vast majority of men are sexually attracted to beautiful young teens. Not just "notice" them genuinely desire them. That smooth skin, perky body, innocent face combined with budding sexuality is pure kryptonite to the male libido. History, art, literature, and every traditional society confirm this. Only post-1960s Western culture pretends it's abnormal.
The intense shame and brutal punishments we have today aren't protecting "children." They're enforcing an artificial, extended childhood that keeps 16-19 year olds in a weird limbo while flooding them with sexual content everywhere else. If tomorrow all laws and social consequences vanished, the dating apps and streets would tell the real story very quickly.

Most men aren't "virtuous." They're simply afraid. Remove the fear, and nature reasserts itself. The uncomfortable truth is that our current taboos say more about how disconnected modern society is from biological reality than about any genuine moral progress. !

Campaign strategy to fool the gullibles 😁. If you really believe that tinubu will sign that bill then you are very gullible. They just want to make it to seems like they care for the masses or so that peter obi won't use it as a campaign propaganda for his presidential ambition. I repeat, tinubu won't sign that bill untill he won his second term election so that northern governors won't that to frustrate his second term ambition, the more you look the more you see 😏.!

They are afraid that they might get banned in Nigeria as a retaliation from Nigerian government for the attacks against Nigerians in their country 😁, if you really think they are doing this out of charity then you are gullible. The recent statement by Bianca ojukwu, the foreign minister had sent them into a panic mode 😊.

This question sounds noble, but let's be brutally honest, no, a child cannot "repay" a mother's love and frankly, they shouldn't have to try.

The whole idea of framing motherhood as some massive, unpayable debt is emotionally manipulative. Yes, pregnancy and childbirth involve real pain and sacrifice. But choosing to have a child is a conscious decision by the parents, not a heroic favour the child begged for. The baby didn't sign a contract or ask to be brought into the world. Once born, raising that child responsibly is the parent's basic obligation, not a loan with interest that the kid must spend their life settling.

Many mothers (and societies) weaponise this "unpayable debt" narrative to demand lifelong guilt, obedience, financial support, and emotional labour from adult children even when the parenting was average, toxic, or downright neglectful in some cases. Love should be given freely, not turned into a lifetime IOU that stifles the child's own dreams and independence.

The healthiest approach is this: parents raise their kids well without keeping score, and grown children choose to honour and care for their parents out of genuine affection not out of cosmic debt. If the "sacrifice" was truly that unbearable, perhaps fewer people should have kids they expect to repay them later.

I don learn something today, nice interesting post. I think this might be on front page, for more public discourse and debates to this interesting topic Seun 🤔

This place is becoming frustrating.
And I think it's intentional.

WriteerNG just made a post describing his personal experience while growing up in a home deeply rooted in religion.
Next thing the bot has removed the post!
Is the mission of the bot to control the narrative here?
We can't criticize Israel;
We can say no wrong about America;
We can't touch religion even when it's obvious how one has been negatively affected by it while growing up.
But we can call Iran a terrorist state;
We can call the Ayatollah a fool;
We can tag all Iranians as haters and killers of Israel;
We can term Hamas barbaric;
We can call the Houthis as the devil himself.

Russia can be tagged the aggressor in Ukraine and the bot will look the other way but there's no way you'd tag USRAEL as the aggressors in Iran's instance and escape the bot's sledgehammer!
We see what you do!
Unfortunately, you can't frustrate us out of here so your own imperialistic narrative reigns supreme.
We dey here!
You'd be wise to find a way to live with us!
The West has brought nothing but sheer wickedness and evil to all three continents of Asia, Africa and the Americas.
The three continents are responsible for more than three quarters of the world's population.
They have left sorrows, tears and blood in their wake everywhere they've been.
Yet, an oppressed man as a victim of their wickedness, is supporting their agenda wholeheartedly and even helping to echo it on the cyberspace!
This is more than Stockholm syndrome!
This is evidently a consequence of a man who hasn't sat down with himself to answer the question, who am I
Whenever you wake up to the honest, objective and unbiased answers your deepest being would provide to that soul-searching question, you'd also join us here and call them out too. Until then, we're here waiting for the day you'd wake up so we can all hail you, "good morning!"
The bot fit remove this one too oooo

⚡Trump on Iran:

There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!

After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).”

This looks like trump is begging Iran to stop the war 😃.
Why are they crying more than the bereaved?

WriteerNg:
⚡Trump says he’s been informed that killings of protesters in Iran are stopping and no executions are planned.

That's a reversed psychology 🤔. Trump want Iranian President and officials to loose their guard down so that he can take them unawares and strike with full force. Smart man . Iran should be on high alert and never let their guard down.

SpyMaster1:
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Today, December 25, 2025, I decided to step out and soak in the festive vibes at the Uyo Christmas Village. What I witnessed there has got me thinking deeply about human nature, and I just had to share it here for some discussion.
The place was buzzing with energy – lights everywhere, music blasting, food stalls overflowing, and people from all walks of life letting loose. I saw old men chilling with bottles of beer, cracking jokes and laughing like they were teenagers again. Old women and ladies were dancing, sipping colorful cocktails, snapping selfies, and indulging in everything from grilled suya to ice cream and games. Families were there too, but even the adults seemed to forget their worries, chasing that momentary high of joy and pleasure.
It hit me hard: We humans are inherently hedonistic, aren't we? We chase pleasure, comfort, and enjoyment at every opportunity. Whether it's through food, drinks, music, or just the thrill of the crowd, we're wired to seek out what feels good. But here's the real question that's been bugging me – why do we pretend otherwise?
In our daily lives, we put on this facade of being all serious, disciplined, and "moral." We judge others for "partying too much" or "living recklessly," yet when the lights dim and the festivities kick in, we're right there in the mix. Is it society? Religion? Fear of judgment? Or are we just hypocrites who deny our true selves to fit in?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, Nairaland. Have you had similar experiences? Do you think hedonism is our default mode, or is there more to it?

I think a lot of the daily seriousness comes from survival, responsibility, and yes, society/religion expecting us to keep things ‘in order.’ But moments like Christmas Village remind us that seeking happiness isn’t shameful, it’s human. The hypocrisy only creeps in when we judge others for doing exactly what we all secretly (or not so secretly) crave

God Bless Dangote,
God bless Tinubu and
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians 👏💪.

Please can you explain to me in a layman's term what this listing of dangote refinery in the stock mean?

I was walking with my friends the other day and spotted a logo somewhere, a broken chain with an axe cutting through it. I later learned it's associated with a popular group called Aye, also known as Axemen, , or the Neo-Black Movement of Africa (NBM).
The symbol apparently represents breaking the chains of oppression, colonialism, and social injustice, fighting for equality and the progress of Black people worldwide. Their official motto is something like "Social Justice and Equality for All," and they claim to do charity work like donations to orphanages, schools, and even police.
But then I started wondering: is their sole purpose really to fight injustice, or has it changed over time?
From what I've read, it started in 1977 at University of Benin as a student fraternity inspired by Pan-Africanism and anti-apartheid struggles, meant to promote Black pride and oppose racism/oppression.
However, over the years, especially on campuses and beyond, the group (or parts linked to it) has been heavily associated with cult clashes, violence, killings, cyber fraud (419 scams), human trafficking, and organized crime – both in Nigeria and internationally (like in Europe, Canada, US).
Many sources say NBM is the "legal" side that does charity and denies links to crime, while "/Aye" is the criminal side, but in Nigeria, most people see them as the same or closely overlapping. There are reports of politicians and powerful people involved too.
So, my question is, what's the real deal? Do they genuinely fight injustice today, or is that just the original idea that's long gone? Have any of you had direct experience or know more about this?

Let me be blunt.

If the intelligence leaking from Cotonou is correct that Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger (under the AES banner) were actively involved in financing, training, or encouraging the mercenaries who tried to overthrow President Talon last week then the young captains have just committed the single biggest strategic blunder of their revolutions. They did not just attack Benin.
They attacked Nigeria by proxy.

Consider the reality on the ground:
Benin is Nigeria’s most sensitive western flank. Any regime in Cotonou that is hostile to Abuja automatically becomes an existential threat to Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, and the entire southwest.

Nigeria currently supplies roughly 70–80 % of Benin’s electricity through the Maria Gleta power plant and the West African Power Pool. One phone call from Abuja can plunge the entire country into darkness.
Cotonou Port handles a significant percentage of goods destined for northern Nigeria. Disrupt Benin, and you disrupt Nigeria’s supply chain.
Over ten million Nigerian citizens and people of Yoruba descent live, work, or trade daily across that border. An unstable Benin equals millions of refugees and economic hemorrhage for Nigeria.

Nigeria has remained remarkably restrained so far, but restraint should never be mistaken for weakness. When Nigeria decides to act, it does not send strongly worded letters. It sends divisions.
Russia, Wagner (or Africa Corps), and whatever support AES currently enjoys will evaporate the moment American, British, and French satellites start beaming real-time intelligence to Abuja and the U.S. Africa Command adjusts its posture. No one in Moscow is willing to die on a Sahelian hill for Cotonou.

Captain Traoré, have inspired millions by standing up to Paris and refusing IMF blackmail. But revolutions that survive are the ones led by men who know which battles to fight and which doors never to open.
Benin is that door.
They should Re-focus the alliance northward where you face no serious opposition
Because if Nigeria is forced to intervene, it will not be a limited police action. It will be swift, overwhelming, and irreversible.
And when the dust settles, the only thing left of the AES dream will be history lessons about how pride and overreach destroyed a beautiful revolution.

They should Choose wisely.!

Babalegba:
It all sounds illegal to me.Tinubu will be dragged to the Hague soon.

Illegal? Not even close. This was a case of legitimate regional support under international law.
Benin’s President Patrice Talon directly requested military assistance from Nigeria twice to protect his government and restore order. President Tinubu authorized the Nigerian Air Force to deploy JF-17 jets and ground troops accordingly. This is explicitly allowed under Article 4 of the ECOWAS Treaty, which mandates mutual assistance to preserve peace and democracy in member states. It’s the same framework that justified interventions in Gambia (2017) and Liberia (1990s).
No UN Security Council resolution needed for ECOWAS actions like this, especially when it’s at the host government’s invitation. The operation was over in hours, with zero reported civilian casualties, and Benin’s own officials have publicly thanked Nigeria for saving their democracy.

oglalasioux:
Your celebration of the competence of the Nigerian military, and the president’s leadership prowess, should come after our own internal security problems are solved.

. Valid concern, but let’s keep the same energy bro
The United States has mass shootings almost every week, the highest homicide rate among developed nations, raging opioid crisis killing 100,000+ citizens yearly, homeless camps in every major city, and a southern border they still can’t fully secure after decades.
Yet last month alone, the U.S. military carried out airstrikes in Somalia, drone operations in Yemen, naval deployments in the Red Sea, and special forces missions in half a dozen countries.
Nobody in America says “Fix Chicago and Baltimore first before you bomb Houthis.” They understand that a capable military protects national interest at home AND abroad simultaneously.
Nigeria just proved (again) that our military is capable.
Now we hold the same government to the same standard, deploy that same speed, precision, and political will against the bandits and terrorists killing our people daily.

Who made an extraordinary claim
What was the extraordinary claim

Don't talk too much

Extraordinary claim?

The extraordinary claim is yours,
that Reuters, Al Jazeera, France24, AFP, the Beninese government, and the Nigerian presidency are all lying or mistaken about Nigerian jets crushing the coup.
That’s the extraordinary part.
I just quoted them.
You’re rejecting them.
Prove your version or rest.

aribisala0:
That is not how it works

I don't get to say my uncle created the moon and when you disagree I ask you to bring evidence that he did not

ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat

He who claims must prove not he who disagrees

With all due respect, you’re reversing the burden of proof.
I’m not the one making an extraordinary claim.
I’m simply repeating what has already been reported and officially confirmed by:
The Government of Benin Republic (President Talon publicly requested and thanked Nigeria)
The Nigerian Presidency (official statement released yesterday)
Multiple international wire services (Reuters, AFP, Al Jazeera, France24) that had correspondents in Cotonou and quoted military sources on the ground
Video and photographic evidence circulating from Benin itself showing Nigerian marked aircraft in action
All these primary sources say the same thing: Nigerian Air Force jets conducted the strikes.
So the claim is already backed by evidence from governments and established news agencies.
If you are saying none of that happened and that Nigeria played no role, then yes, the burden is now on you to provide credible sources supporting your version.
Latin still applies: whoever says the Reuters/Al Jazeera/Benin govt reports are false is the one making the positive assertion now.
Feel free to drop your sources. We’re all here to learn.

HgAkpobomeEr:
They are not blind. They are just doing what they are paid to do.

You’re absolutely right, they’re not blind.
They’re doing exactly what the imperialists who own and fund them have always paid them to do, amplify every African crisis and bury every African success.
When a West African country looks like it’s sliding into chaos → 24-hour live coverage.
When Nigeria flies in, crushes the coup in hours, and flies out → total blackout.
Same old imperialist playbook, never let the Giant of Africa look strong, competent, or in control of its own region.
They’re not news outlets at this point.
They’re propaganda arms, and the paymasters are still the same people who drew the borders and looted the continent.

aribisala0:
You are not a witness

You were not there

If you have any credible source saying the Nigerian military was NOT involved, please drop the link. I’ll gladly read it.
Until then, the eyewitnesses are the international press corps and the official statements from both the Beninese and Nigerian governments.

On December 7, 2025, renegade soldiers in Benin Republic stormed the state television station in Cotonou, declared the constitution suspended, and announced they had taken power.

President Patrice Talon made an urgent request for help directly to President Bola Tinubu.

What happened next was lightning-fast: Nigerian Air Force JF-17 Thunder jets crossed the border, delivered precise strikes on the rebels’ positions, and obliterated the coup before the day ended. Nigerian special forces supported the operation on the ground. The TV station was retaken, the mutineers scattered, and Benin’s democracy was saved in a matter of hours.

This was one of the quickest and cleanest counter-coup interventions in modern history.

Every credible international outlet has reported it clearly:
- Reuters: “Nigeria’s military intervention ends Benin coup attempt”
- Al Jazeera: Detailed coverage of Nigerian airstrikes
- France24, Africanews, Bloomberg, Vanguard, Premium Times – all confirming Nigeria’s decisive role

Yet as of December 8, 2025, CNN International and BBC World News have either ignored Nigeria’s involvement completely or buried it in a few lines. No headlines. No footage. No recognition that the Nigerian military just prevented another West African nation from falling into chaos.

When instability erupts on the continent, they provide wall-to-wall coverage.
When Nigeria steps in and restores order with speed and precision, the story mysteriously disappears.

This is not oversight. This is selective silence.

The Nigerian Armed Forces just demonstrated exceptional capability and regional leadership which the world deserve to know.!

Are they going to support us for free? 🤔
Something is not right! There's something the Nigerian government is not telling us. What backdoor deal did they cut with them? 🤔
I hope they didn't sign that they should extract rare earth mineral in Nigeria for 5 years o free of charge o 😁.
