@AKakanfo Countries like Pakistan in their National counter terrorism strategy has banned all extremist preaching and actively arrests those who have extremist tendencies.
@Montero1016 My brother please don't be naive, if there was no support from MKO, how did members of SDP get into government? There are literally pictures of MKO and Abacha having physical and closed door meetings. He felt cheated when the military junta consolidated power.
@RealCandour@Montero1016 Nobody said the ING wasn't illegal ab initio. Abiola naively thought supporting an overthrow of the ING will restore his mandate so back to my initial point.😁
@Montero1016 This one pain you😂😂 there are authentic sources who confirmed this story, it's not beer parlor talk, two truths can coexist, MKO feeling cheated tacitly supported Abacha and in support, members of SDP were part of Abacha's Government.
Here’s a piece of unsolicited advice for Men with money entering relationships:
A lot of your relationships fail because you started with an unsustainable version of you. Sometimes when we love someone, we try to secure that love through too much effort, attention, gifts, or availability too early.
“You can kill a new plant by watering it too much.”
The problem with doing too much too early is that your initial effort becomes the standard. A relationship that starts at 100 has nowhere natural to grow.
When you give too much too early, the relationship skips the stage where you 2 gradually learn to love each other in a realistic way. Your effort becomes your identity in the relationship.
So when you reduce that effort later, it feels like less love to the other person whereas you’re just dealing with life.
When you have money, it’s tempting to do too much too early. But it’s usually a bad idea even if you can afford it.
@Mamsy96@dashacovera You're right Halima that's why education will always level the playing field. Education gives you options in the event your marriage doesn't work out.
Ugo’s wife posted on her IG story, that she can now go to the girls trip they’ve been planning since 2022.
We can assume this to mean that she’s celebrating “freedom” from the marriage.
Freedom is like a mirage, I tell you brethren. E no real.
Remember when we were younger, we would sneak out for parties, we would die to be with our friends, we would sneak out for many things.
As an adult, you can actually just go for whatever party, but why are you not going?😂 you’ve got all the freedom, yet, you can’t really do those things you use to sneak out to do.
There’s also a bubble stage where the water is at boiling point (100°C), she might be at that stage, the “freedom at last” stage, but when the dust settles, reality will set in. Those friends who were giving her ginger will suddenly become busy, going for work, attending to their own family.
That guy you were sneaking out with is okay with the sneaky links, but not okay with real-life responsibilities, hence, his attitude begin to change. This is the point you now register for therapy😭
Islamist Boko Haram militants have attacked a military base in Chad, killing at least 23 security personnel and injuring 26 others, the army said in a statement https://t.co/Z3ApjIzwmH
"Nigeria could have collapsed..."
You need to be reminded that Nigeria and its military have faced a more sophisticated, well armed, and territorially ambitious enemy than the groups involved in the Mali attacks of 2026.
Between 2014 and 2018, Nigeria was not dealing with simple hit and run tactics, it was confronting a Caliphate that deployed captured Main Battle Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), and multi-barrel rocket launchers in conventional, set piece battles. The intensity of this pressure is best illustrated by the fact that in 2014 alone, the conflict recorded over 10,000 fatalities, making it the deadliest in the world at that time.
Despite this staggering casualty rate and the enemy's control over 14 Local Government Areas, a territory larger than several European nations the Nigerian military prevented the collapse of any state capital.
The defense of Maiduguri remains a definitive case study, the city was surrounded on all sides and faced massive, coordinated assaults from thousands of insurgents, yet the military held the line without the state government folding.
In contrast, the 2026 Mali attacks saw insurgents penetrate the heart of the capital and reach the residences of the top military leadership in Bamako with relative ease. Nigeria's ability to maintain its sovereign integrity during the 2014-2018 peak, while fighting a war almost entirely with its own resources and personnel, proves a level of institutional and tactical resilience that far outweighs the localized shock recently witnessed in Mali.
The Nigerian military did not just survive the pressure, it evolved through it, ensuring that the most populated nation in Africa remained standing while facing a threat that was objectively more formidable in weaponry, manpower, and strategic depth.
If Mali, or any of the AES countries, faced what Nigeria had faced, they would have ceased to exist as sovereign entities.
The sheer scale of the 2014-2018 insurgency was an existential threat that would have overwhelmed smaller, less resilient structures, we are talking about a period where the enemy wasn't just hiding in the bushes but was actively administering large towns, hoisting flags, and matching the military’s firepower with heavy artillery.
While the AES nations often rely on external private contractors or singular alliances to plug security gaps, Nigeria’s military had to dig deep into its own history and manpower to hold together a nation of over 200 million people with vastly more complex internal dynamics. The fact that Nigeria didn't just hold the line but eventually pushed the enemy out of every urban center they once occupied is a testament to a level of national endurance that remains unmatched in the Sahel.
To compare a localized breach in Bamako to the total war fought in the North East is to fundamentally misunderstand the weight of the burden Nigeria carried and successfully threw off. Nigeria’s survival wasn't a matter of luck, it was the result of a military that stayed in the fight when the pressure was high enough to shatter the foundation of any other nation in the region.
For women, her authenticity or duplicity with you is your responsibility to discover.
That is why this woman says:
“Women are blunt. If we don’t like you, YOU’LL KNOW.”
And not,
“Women are blunt. If we don’t like you, WE'LL TELL YOU.”
That distinction matters.
BUT This is not to say women do not sometimes say plainly when they do not like a man. They often do.
It is to say there is a constant: women express indifference toward men they do not Want. And what changes is the method.
And whether that indifference is spoken explicitly or concealed and behaviorally conveyed is contingent upon the calibre of the man she does not like.
For men who exude value and utility, she, very often, will not tell him she does not like him, because that may reduce access to his apparent utility.
So she communicates disinterest in subtler, more contrived ways like,
“I don’t like that you called when you could have texted.”
“I’m having a bad day; let’s talk tomorrow.”
“I don’t like to ask, but I want a man who likes to spoil his woman.”
“Sorry I’m just responding, I’ve been so busy these past two weeks.”
Thus, the more valuable the man she does not like, the subtler and stealthier her “I don’t like you.”
And the less valuable the man, the louder and more vocal it is.
Now, what is in this for you as a man?
The more valuable a man you are, the more a woman makes it your responsibility to uncover her pretense - in this case indifference.
For high-status men, it is:
If we don’t like you, YOU’LL KNOW.
For low-status men, it is:
If we don’t like you, WE'LL TELL YOU.
So where you suspect a woman does not like you but says otherwise, know that your value and utility may have engineered that dual existence of her behavioral “I don’t like you” and verbal “I like you.”
As you were.
And, don’t mention it.
@prezido657@80nairaForLunch@arrakunrin Depends on the pouch boss, as you said, you import alongside your friend's goods. If you had paid shipping fee plus the pouch, you'd notice the price goes up.
@fkeyamo I don't like politics because when politicians are desperate, they do unspeakable things including sponsoring violence here and there. The worst attacks on lives and property happen in years preceding elections.
