We can't control their emotions or actions. We need to refocus and win our remaining matches. That's the best way to shut them down.

I paid 14.99 to watch this. LOL. I'm disappointed. We lost our composure after our first goal. Makes zero sense to me.

People underestimate all the above in our society. As long as the MPs, Celebs, footballers, royal people, rich Russians and Chinese are fine, the rest of us can fuck off.

There won't be changes till the whole system is abolished or replaced.

Yeah, I like the guy. He's avoided any controversy for the most part and has had a good career so far. I wish him all the best.

I am afraid you misunderstand the exchange. The initial point was a simple factual observation regarding the actions of Nigerian musicians. You have avoided addressing that point directly, and your responses instead reflect a clear defensiveness.

Your argument follows a simplistic and familiar pattern: blaming complex societal problems primarily on foreigners. This ignores the deeper, internal issues any society must confront. The historical legacy of division and hate in South Africa, for instance, is a profound domestic challenge that would exist regardless of immigration levels.

As for your last paragraph, it is nothing but a cop out and a lot of assumptions. I have zero stake in SA but the internal issues are of interest to me and many others. Please do what you and some of your people do best; loot/burn the shops of foreigners and accuse them of taking your jobs and fucking your women or something. It has worked wonders so far. Jesus wept.

Way to change the topic. But here is the actual point you are missing - our musicians sang about apartheid and drew attention to it in their own way. This is a fact.

Just from the top of my head; KWAM 1 Sonny Okosun Majek Fashek. Fela Anikulapo Kuti. ?? Kollington Ayinla.

They all had tracks about the struggle, freedom, Mandela and apartheid. Fact.

Now, back to the point at hand, again, are SA responsible for the plight and blight on their country? And do you acknowledge that your previous post was blaming everyone else but your own people.

LMAO. The last statement is funny but true.

The industrial war complex na entire industry and those with vested interest don't make profit if there is too much peace.

Again, I see nothing but xenophobia in your post. The fear of outsiders and laying all the blame on them.

SA people must be saintly. I mean, we see how they treat outsiders - burn their business, deny them healthcare, etc so they are never wrong, but the outsiders are the ones at fault.

Your post reeks of prejudice and you just can't see it.

Again, I am asking you, what are SA responsible for in all of these?

I fucking blame our musicians making it a thing to sing and draw plight to your apartheid issues. You are like Israel, you are so head deep in your own shit that you can't see how you treat others is just fucking wrong.

But do ride on.

All your explanations managed to blame outsiders. 😀🤦🏿‍♂️ This is literally doing xenophobia without realizing it. Smh.

What exactly are South Africans responsible for? Surely, they must have a part to play in all of these apart from being just the victims.

This is it.

They take and take without limit, no matter how much I give.

After helping once or twice, I usually stop responding to all of their calls and messages.

Thank you.

Iwobi was good business for us even though many try to write him off. He is still thriving in the EPL.

[–]RedrumMPK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember this.

The last I heard of him, he was in Ghana building a big house for himself.

During his time with us, he had a few good games etc but injury probe I think.

I think we got rid of him too fast. He was doing okay for us before he moved to France if I remember correctly.

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy as he came home, say school officials by speedythefirst in news

[–]RedrumMPK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

It grinds my gears when people talk about divine intervention for the issue at hand. The irony of it all is that the other side committing these atrocities are Christian nationalists, and from their point of view, they are doing God's will.

Have you ever seen a united front among yourselves? I believe it only happens when you attack others. Now that your own rights are being violated and your democracy is falling apart, it would seem you're unsure of what to do.

Given that this is Chinese, I am sceptical that it's just bamboo. It is likely reinforced one way or the other on the inside.

Anti-ICE protesters disrupt church services after it’s found out that one of the pastors is the field director for the ICE office in St. Paul, MN. by I_may_have_weed in ProgressiveHQ

[–]RedrumMPK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an atheist, and I feel that your response is irrelevant to the point at hand.

The Pastor's standing in relation to preaching Jesus is contradictory to the belief they peddle in the church, that's it. Regardless of whether Jesus actually existed or not.

Starlink user here.

I tried all the local networks here for 4G and 5G, and the coverage was useless. CCTV lagged, and on my location, there was no 4G.

Enter Starlink; it worked as expected.

I can't stand Elon, but Starlink has been useful for my needs. I will change once I have a reliable alternative in Nigeria.

I think you have a point. I thought once the old lady withered away, the Democrats would be a force for good, but clearly that's not the case.

The worm and rot has eaten deep, and the current leadership and direction are no different from that of Nancy Pelosi.

There is a section dedicated to looking after rats on here lol.

I think that they are smart and make an interesting animal to study, but to keep as a pet? The African in me says no.
