This is a good question.

People don’t smoke just because they like fire and smoke.

People smoke because of nicotine.
Not many people know this but nicotine is the active ingredient in cigarettes that make people addicted to smoking.

Nicotine reduces anxiety, elevates low mood, releases dopamine in the brain which gives a feeling of pleasure.

It is this feel-good emotions of high energy, elevated mood, reduced anxiety, good relaxation and general pleasure - which all comes from nicotine- that make people smoke and get people addicted to smoking.

So even if they know smoking will cause cancer, damage their heart, ruin their kidneys and eventually make them die at a young age, they don’t mind. Because unfortunately the continuous nicotine supply to the brain causes a craving that is difficult to control.

This is why it is always better never to try smoking than to start and hope to stop.

Lack of political literacy is the reason why citizens of a country that has suffered at least one violent, Mossad-orchestrated regime change operation in the past 40 years, and whose civil war had Israel stirring up and arming both sides for maximum destruction, look at the same Israel and imagine they are on the same "side."

Then they look at the country that is Israel's enemy - the one that represents everything their country claims to aspire to including meaningful national sovereignty, zero IMF/World Bank debt, high HDI score, world-leading technology, 100% energy-security, powerful military, 96% food-security, plus the ability to project power far beyond its borders - and see this country not as a model of resistance and true independence, but as their "enemy."

If you ask them why Iran - a country that very much unlike "Israel" has never harmed them before - is their "enemy," you'll get a nonsensical retard soup answer making liberal mention of words like "Islam," "terrorist," "Hezbollah," and "Ayatollah." Most of them don't even know that there is a fundamental difference between the Shia Islam prevalent in Iran and the Salafi/Wahabbi doctrine that the supposed "terrorists" in Borno State profess belief in, and that Boko Haram is more likely to kill a Shia Muslim before a Christian because extremists consider them to be heretics (worse than unbelievers).

This is all very important information and context that nobody told Nigerians they need to have before developing their retarded, misinformed positions on geopolitical issues which they will defend with their lives, as if they know the first thing they're talking about. One of the idiots even came into my mentions asking me "Aren't you the guy who wrote Cornflakes For Jihad, so how can you support Iran?" He thinks Abubakar Shekau and Ali Khamenei believe in the same thing and are playing for the same side, as per say all na "muslim."

Uneducated swine.

Governor Seyi Makinde…

SMH. And I was a fan back in the day.

If I give you this, what will I get in return ??

Is there anyone in a position of leadership or power in Nigeria that values the vast amount of talent our people have? Imagine if every Nigerian athlete did this...would the Nigerian Athletics Federation even care ? What is the country doing to convince our best to play/ compete for Nigeria?
