i had many unusual mentions on the original post above, so i will reply here. Somehow, i had been aware of the chain of events following the unfortunate incident. i watched Umahi on X about 3days ago asking for an autopsy. Couldn't find the X post but it's on this YouTube link, from 10mins mark onwards.
So when Sowore's thread followed in his aluta style, where he has already written the verdict before the investigation is concluded using allegations and speculations as convictions. i knew they had turned it into a social media trial which is why i asked if Sowore is also doing gig/side hustle with autopsy.
Sowore knows all these have already been done, it's on social media. But chose to throw in speculations and allegations, what we call salt and pepper.
YourGFsnatcher: My ex married a very nice man. But she's still loyal to me. She doesn't take any major decision without consulting me. She completely believes in my judgement. Thought I always give her sound judgement, but I think it's time for her to look unto her husband.
I wouldn't want my wife to rely on her ex before taking any major decision.
How can I pull out?
Some people have deep, psychological issues to the extent they can lie unprovoked. You need help, bro.
They won clearly. Iran came out of the war stronger and more resilient. Iran knows it can't win the USA is a war, but they could attack their neigbors, who are USA allies. And yes, they can shut down the Straight of Hormuz at will.
They won, clearly. Na only people wey no sabi think the US won.
Beautifulday: Even if 99% of the world is brainwashed. 1% sane is enough to point to the truth.
Multitude doesn't make falsehood to be true
Israel is a terrorist nation, no doubt. That doesn't mean they don't have the right to exist. Palestinians should exist too.
It is unfortunate that stupid Trump was pushed into this way by Netanyahu. The US should have allow Israel to slug it out with Iran make we check something.
ManirBK: The Strait of Hormouz has to be opened. A tsunami of an economic disaster is going to hit the US sometime soon, trump now knows this and he's trying to head it off. Israel has to get out of the way.
Your comment explains Iran's strategic control of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump was warned Iran will respond with asymmetrical warfare with their neighbors who are American allies and will definitely close the straight if attacked. This was widely known, yet he went to war that everyone know would resolve to an economic defeat.
Trump decided to go against this advice and has by so doing giving Iran an important leverage. One way or the other, the Straight of Hormuz will be open but it will an American loss. This senseless war shouldn't have happened and this will definitely go down as one of the military blunders of all time.
Iran has shown that they could replace any number of their scientists and military leaders with more hardline replacements when killed. They lost their president to an unexplainable circumstance, and they replaced him with the current one. They killed their Ayatollah and they replaced him with a more younger, valiant version of his father.
This war should have been avoided at all cost. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden avoided going to war with Iran and this stupid and useless Trump decided he could change the regime in Iran. Ewu Trump.

Please, use your 545k and buy bonds/treasury bills through third party apps like Opay, Fairmoney, Piggyvest, etc. Thank me later.
As for lands, you have to be very careful. Less than 98% of lands appreciate in the country. Whatever little appreciation they do is quickly evaporated through inflation. That doesn't mean it isn't good to own lands. If your purpose is to own a part of the country, even in your village, it is usually a good decision. But as investment decisions, very few lands turn out profitable when you check the opportunity cost of using that money on other good investments options.
Kanwulia: Because YOU WILL BE PON for 8 years after President Peter Obi.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, regardless of whether they win or not. And this is why BAT boys are crying. The math is simple. If Peter Obi gets the amount of votes he had in the last election and Kwankwaso retains his, the presidency will go to Peter Obi.
That's if the same rigging that happened last time occur again. If the votes are well-counted, Peter Obi will win before 12pm.
DeepSight: To concur, there is a saying that "with or without religion, good people do good and evil people do evil. But to get a good person to do evil, that takes religion."
Yes, there were people before religion. Man invented religion, not the other. To be honest, being religious could shape someone's perception of life, shape how the person deals with issues. Being religious could be beneficial with lots of benefits, but it is not the basis of morality and shouldn't be. Let me give you an example.
I am against rape, not because God says so. Rape is bad because of the injury and trauma it causes. So my morality here is shaped by shared human experience and love, and not by God or any holy books. Imagine me liking rape and choose not to do it because it is a sin? You see the direction this could take?
To quote what you said, good people do good, evil people do evil with or without religion.
Kobojunkie: 1. History in the 20th century teaches us that those whose religion does not include the threat of hellfire, and exists without a standard of morality set beforehand are not necessarily more moral. 🤔 ... .... Humans cannot be trusted to make this sheet up as they go. It only leads to catastrophe.
2. We know, and therein lies the problem. An ever-shifting moral compass or source is akin to no morality at all. 🤔
You quoted millions of people that died in China. I just dey laugh you. Many more have died in senseless religious wars. And you know why this is funny? Atheists are the most religious tolerant people on earth. If you say Christ is the author and finisher of your life, I saw okay. If you say Allah is the only one true god, I say okay.
If you carve an idol out of a wood and say it is your god, I say fine. So, practice your religion in peace. All you should keep in mind is that if your religion is the basis of your morality, omo you no be good person at all
SIRTee15: So if atheists tell u it's ok to change the sex of a boy to girls by giving them puberty blocker at 6 yrs old. Is that moral? If it's wrong , what is the source of your morality?
That's my question, answer it and stop deflecting. I want to know the source of your own mority of u disagree with atheist on above.
You asked a question, I answered. And for some reasons, you took notice of my answer. To answer again, the source of my morality is not based on an idea of any god but on shared humanity, tolerance and love for mankind.
Most people like you have this weird belief that atheists support sex change. This is wrong. Sex change is a western political ideology and is supported by many people alike in Western countries, it is not tied to atheists alone. I have seen Christians, liberal Muslims that support sex change. You are wrong to tie it to only atheists.
Why would you select atheists as those that support sex change in kids? This is the basics of your invalid argument. You see the flaw in your reasoning?
I am an African atheists, and I will never support sex change in kids because they haven't reached age of consent. And this conviction is based on what is fair and just.
CodeTemplar: Why do they doubt the biblical God most intensely?
You are an atheist to an extent. You are an atheist because you don't believe in other gods except yours. That mindset that make you doubt other gods is same mindset atheists have. We just took it a step further to include your god to others we don't believe in.
SIRTee15: Since atheists reject God and His divine guidance, as well as revelation, I would like them to tell us the source of their morality.
What guides your conscience when it comes to good and evil? Is your moral framework subjective or objective? What is the foundational basis of your morality? How do you determine what is right or wrong? Is your morality dynamic and relative to time, location, and circumstances?
As a believer in the scriptures, my morality comes from the bible. If the Bible says an act is wrong, then it is wrong irrespective of external opinion or societal validation of such an act.
To the atheist, if you think a behaviour is immoral but society considers it good, how do you justify your stance? What makes you think your judgment is better than that of the majority?
How do you even know what is good or bad as a principle? For example, do you think fornication or homosexuality is evil? Do you think transgender identity should be considered moral? Do you think pride and lying are things that should be frowned upon? What even makes suicide or euthanasia wrong?
Atheists, do you think it is okay to indoctrinate your children with your morality, or should they be left alone to discover their own? If your 16-year-old daughter starts taking contraceptive pills so she can have sex with her boyfriend, would you frown at it? On what grounds would you consider her behaviour immoral?
If your 21-year-old son tells you he is gay and wants to marry his partner, will you wish them marital bliss or attend their wedding if invited? If you object to such a union, where is that morality coming from?
If your 18-year-old son tells you he is transitioning to become a woman and plans to undergo surgery, on what grounds would you tell him he is wrong?
Why would it be wrong if your 25-year-old daughter tells you she does not plan to get married but intends to have children with different men and raise them without a father figure?
I am certain many atheists would struggle with some of these situations. No atheist here on nairaland will attend the wedding of his gay son or celebrate extramarital pregnancy of his daughter.
The truth some atheists conveniently ignore is that all moral frameworks in society have historically been influenced by religious traditions. People draw from these values in how they live their lives, build families, and relate to their communities.
Yet, some reject the existence of God while still engaging with moral ideas that have been shaped by religious thought.
This is something I reflected on years ago, and it led me to question whether atheism provides a sufficiently grounded explanation for morality or its simply delusion in disguise.
I would appreciate if atheist can give a convincing rebuttal as to the source of their morality independent of an imaginary sky daddy as they say.
Morality doesn’t require belief in your God or any god to exist. Atheists base their morality in reason, empathy, and shared human experience. If God is the reason for your morality, you are a very, very bad person.
When atheists rejects lying or violence to humans or other vices, it is not because Bible or Quran or any religion says so, it is because such acts erode trusts, harm people and damage communities.
Mrexcell: What about all the thousands of innocent unarmed ipob members buhari ordered to be killed before ipob went violent who will give them justice?
This is where people get it wrong. One wrong doesn't justify another. I believe in Biafra, I am a Biafran first by birth and secondly because of the strong cultural and deep philosophy of Ndi Igbo. I am a Nigerian because my passport says so.
My heart bleeds for every innocent Igbo people killed by the Nigerian state during the civil war, during Buhari administration and other times in the history of this country. Every May 31st, I observe this remembrance and I will keep doing that till my last breath.
Part of being Igbo is to ask hard questions, to look for answers and to find where the rain started beating us as a nation. If you don't know where the rain started beating you, you won't know where it stopped.
Ndi Igbo has done well since the civil war ends. Out of 20 pounds, Igbo fought hard to become one of the most successful nations on the continent. We dominate trade in almost every state of the country, including Lagos. This is not a small feat In the meantime, the SE part of the country, home to most Igbos, became the most prosperous part of Nigeria and lead other tribes in commerce, education and was also the most secured.
And what did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did? He lighted up the SE, inflamed lots of non state actors who brought zone down to almost what our fathers experienced during the civil war. It came to a point that Igbo people couldn't bury their love ones or conduct traditional marriages of their daughters because of insecurity.
The Nigerian state doesn't love the Igbos, no doubt. But you don't burn your house because your enemy threatened to burn it down initially. This was pricesely what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did. Buhari hated the Igbos but Nnamdi Kanu finished the work for him. That's why e no go better for him in this life or the next.
Ofunaofu: I Never Thought This Will Ever Come From Me But I Trust Atiku I Believe He Mean Well—Bashir El-Rufai
In a recent statement via his official X account, Bashir El-Rufai, the son of former Kaduna State governor, has stated that he never expected himself to express trust in Atiku Abubakar, but admits that his views have changed after watching the recent interview on Arise TV.
"I never thought these following words would ever come from me but I do trust @atiku. I believe he actually means well. Especially this time. Stakes are too high," he wrote.
In his post, El-Rufai explained that despite past doubts, he now believes Atiku has good intentions for Nigeria, he stated that his confidence in Atiku is not casual, but based on what he observed in the interview.
He stated that he believes the former vice president truly means well, especially at this critical time in the country and added that the situation Nigeria faces today requires serious leadership and sincerity.
He stressed that the stakes are very high and that the country cannot afford wrong decisions at this moment and suggested that leaders must act with the interest of the people in mind, noting that the challenges facing Nigeria demand urgent and honest solutions.
He stated that his trust in Atiku comes from a belief that the former vice president understands the urgency of the moment and suggested that Nigerians should pay attention to leaders who show readiness to act in the interest of the nation.
Quest7777: People from sane climes watching this kind of videos will regard Nigeria Govt +their Security Forces as bunch of unserious clowns.🤡
Are they not a bunch of unserious clowns? What do you expect when a president that only want the position because of it was his turn? A president that licked a microphone and said Bala Blue? Wetin you expect? You sef dey Bleep up.
