I am still waiting for the day that one kidnapper or bandit will be arrested in northern states.

Why starting that keeper?

I blame Chelsea coack 100% for this performance. Well, I don't blame him. I blame the hopeless / visionless Chelsea board.

Truth is US gave China the canvass to develop to where it is today.

But the Great Britain also created the foundation for USA's emergence and dominance.

It always like that. A leader must precede another. So they need to calm down.

The war between Iran and Israel / US will always end with a call between Trump and Putin.

When the 2 sugar daddies agree to halt it, the war will end.

Without Russia, Iran will not forge ahead becoz they need Moscow's satellite and guide.

China does not want to have a direct or clear confrontation with US or Iran. They will technically stay neutral.

It is wise for Trump to end the war. America has far more to loose. They have to quickly start investing in cheap war weapons / ammunitions. Otherwise, China and it's allies will mess them and Israel up seriously due to mass quantity of weapons and not necessarily superior quality.

If Israels folds it's arms, it will blame itself.

Iran is manufacturing 100 units of balistic missiles per month. Plus enormous Shahed drones in scale of over 3,000 units at a cost of just $20,000.

If Iran keeps saying death to Israel, and death to America, then in the next 1 or 2 years, USA, Israel and their allies put together will not be able to intercept d barrage of missiles and drones fired from Iran.

A single interceptor missile currently costs about $2m. Hence, it's bankrupting on US and absolutely illogical to be intercepting $20,000 drones with $2m missiles.

Plus their ICBM and nuclear warhead projects.

Other countries in the region are busy developing their economies like UAE, Qatar, Saudi etc. But Iran will rather die of hunger and acquire dangerous weapons.

US and Israel are just trying to remove that terrorist ideology from Iran tru replacing it's leadership or decimate their weapon bunkers and it's programmes.

He is quite liberal and will have the preference of the Western powers.

masterfactor:
This Trump is delusional. Do the Iranian look like people that want to surrender. Tru.p should keep living in foo*ls paradise.

Ultimately, Trump will have a say in transiting a new leader for Iran.

Iranian Navy, Air force, Missile / drone launching systems will be heavily destroyed by IDF and US as we seeing currently.

I do not think the US will achieve their aim in the long run by installing a puppet leader due to complexities on ground.

Iran's terrain will be very tough for ground troop deployment. US will have to make use of proxy forces within Iran to run things.

***** One thing is sure, US will loose lots of its bases and facilities in the middle east. But Iranian Nuclear program, drone and balistic missiles stock will be utterly decimated and will take many years to resume.

US will back out after exhausting mass resources and Israel will be at rest for several decades from Iranian plan.

Their missile launchers have been heavily destroyed.

To be honest. . I just clearly see that height or stature does not deter greatness.

As small as Alex Oti is, yet he was Diamond Bank MD, now governor. . Same as Oshiomole.

Respect to the honourable man.

osazsky:
What is happening in Iran only 2 missiles were shot today at Israel and they were intercepted unlike 2 days ago when it was every 20minutes .abi America and Israel don destroy all their lunchers..cuz without lauchers those missiles are useless..or missiles don dey depleted cuz quarter and Kuwait don help Israel intercept almost all of them

Yes, their launching pads have been seriously damaged by he Israeli jets.

Israel nuetrilized Iranian tracking and laser detection systems firstly before flying in exactly 200 war jets into Iran's airspace for several hours and blew up only strategic points on the first day.

Just like the last war between them, Israel is basically aiming to:

1. Take out the numbers of Iranian leadership in-charge of missile or drone / pill-ups and nuclear warhead advancement.

2. Destroy their ICBM and nuclear weapon programme and project sites.

3. Change the country's leadership with someone that possess a different ideology from Islamic extremism.

They will continue to prevent civilian casualties as much as possible.

USA and Israel cannot attack or bomb Iran indiscriminately the way Iran is doing everywhere.

Trump claims he is fighting for the people of Iran, and that puts him in a corner such as to only snipe and destroy the weapon facilities and key installations within Iran.

Ground troops is not an option at all for now due to many reasons.

They have to paralyse their laser defense systems completely and destroy their missile/drone launching pads/ stock before physical penetration at all.

It's going to be a very complex high-tech war. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

May her soul rest in peace.

I just wish they can leave out women, children and teenagers out of this nonsense of a thing.

This should be between men and their military.

However, both parties involved have broken the normal rules of battle engagement.

dangermouse:
Firing rockets and missiles indiscriminately shows desperation on the part of the Iranian regime.
It is the death spasms and kicks of a dying horse.

It is only a matter of days before they capitulate.

Truth.

It shows lack of tact.

If Israel or the United States were bombing Iran indiscriminately, by now, the entire Iran would have been destroyed beyond recognition.

Kingosytex:
One can always start small and create something big for oneself. Stop encouraging Idiocy and entitlement.
A woman who couldn't turn 700k to 750k won't still be able to turn 7m to 7.5m.
How can she manage much when she couldn't even manage little?

Absolute truth. You said it all.

US is attacking you, but in return you are busy attacking neibouring countries and empty American facilities.

Iran does not have 1 single missile that can reach the United States. Yet, they kept threatening the US.

They shot 300 missiles into Israel at the weekend, only about 30 was able to enter northern Israel with only 1 reported fatal casualty. No specific strategy, just sporadic shots.

Israel nutrilized Iranian detection radars and flew 200 fighter jets over Iran for several hours, yet no single jet was shot down or lost. Thereby killing their leaders in a precision strikes.

Just like Venezuella, those Chinese Temu detection radars are helpless again.

US / West via ASML / Intel / Nvadia has been preventing imports and access of the most advanced AI silicon chips to China. That's why most Chinese AI detectors will always be 3 or 4 generations behind the latest version.

I watched only the 2nd half. For me, Chelsea were the better team overall.

But the chelsea coach needs to scream heavily at his boys for gross indiscipline. It's getting too much.

By the way, Cole Palmer plays like a man that has lost all virtues nowadays. It's sickening.

The Iranian regime has stock-pilled above 2,000 balistic missiles and numerous drones just aimed at gaining regional territorial dominance and destroying the Israel nation.

It's an evil regime and must be removed.

A nuclear powered Iran is a danger to the world, and anyone that does not bow to dictates of Sharia.

The choice of a religion should be by conviction and not violence or force.

Allowing Iran to produce a nuclear warhead is equal to giving advanced chemical weapons under the control of Islamic bandits / Boko Haram / ISWAP etc in Nigeria.

They empower and fund Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and the rest in the region.

I support the complete removal of him and his regime.

For Iranian leaders to be threatening the USA is absolute madness.

US and Israel still control core global tracking infastructure and weaponry. They (Iran) are like ants to US.

They need to study how president Tinubu avoided issues with Trump. It's called wisdom. Becoz Trump has just few years left on his tenure.

Just play the game alongside with him and everyone will smile.

A similar scenereo is Zalenski thinking he can challenge Putin even with NATO. . He just destroyed his country for nothing.

wellmax:
Here’s what it really means in practical terms.

1) Oil prices would likely jump very fast
About 20% of the world’s oil supply moves through that strait. When shipments stop or slow, markets panic because supply suddenly looks smaller.
Analysts have warned prices could surge well above $100 per barrel, possibly much higher if the disruption lasts.
What that means for people:
Petrol and diesel prices rise.
Air travel and shipping become more expensive.
Many goods cost more because transport costs increase.

2) Global inflation would rise
Energy is tied to almost everything in the economy. When oil and gas spike:
Food prices rise (transport + farming costs).
Manufacturing costs increase.
Electricity and heating bills climb.
Economists say disruption there would fuel inflation and strain supply chains worldwide.

3) Countries that depend on Middle East energy get hit hardest
Asia and parts of Europe rely heavily on oil and gas passing through that route. China, Japan, India, and many EU countries could see:
Higher import bills
Slower economic growth
Potential shortages if the blockade lasts.
Natural gas is also at risk because large volumes of LNG from Qatar pass through the same waterway.

4) Financial markets could become very volatile
When something like this happens:
Stock markets often drop at first.
Energy companies may rise because oil prices surge.
Investors move money into “safe” assets like gold or government bonds.
If the closure lasts weeks or months, economists warn it could slow global growth or even push some economies toward recession.

5) It could escalate into a larger conflict
A full blockade is also a military and geopolitical issue. Major powers depend on that shipping lane, so pressure or military action to reopen it would be likely.

1. Once the Iranian regime is changed or altered, order will restored to the passage. That is inneviatable and will happen very soon.

2. Nigeria should be okay. Our crude can be shipped to Dangote refinery and recycled to the Nigerian domestic market. It's just our exporting scale that could be hit.

3. Iran just want to flex a muscle as expected and predicted. They can only hit empty American bases in the middle east and Israel. US bombardment will come in layers in next few days. It will just too much for Iran. That's the truth.

Beeron:
Zelenky is the worst thing that ever happened to Ukraine. Ukraine history will not judge him kindly.


Being a puppet for the West to go war with your own brother in the East at the expense of innocent Ukraine lives being wasted and the Ukraine statehood at the risk of being erased.

No country will ever make a mistake to elect a comedian as their president again.

Hmm, but he made $ billions personally into his accounts. That is why he refused to chicken out.

He is a fool thou.

DeLaRue:
It makes perfect sense.

A naira that rises too fast can be as damaging to the economy as one that falls too fast.

The secret to sustainable economic growth is stability. A slow but steady naira recovery is better.

If naira hits 1000 to a dollar too fast, Nigerian consumers will benefit hugely, but the biggest long term beneficiary will be China, as Nigerians will go back to importing everything under the sun from China. This will destroy our own manufacturing companies, and there will be tremendous job loses. Once cheap Chinese imports destroy our manufacturers, then we will effectively become an economic colony of China.

Remember too that if the naira rises too sharply, the record levels of non-oil exports we have had in the past 2 years will disappear as our produce becomes more expensive for foreign buyers. A strong naira makes our non-oil exports expensive for foreign buyers. They will look elsewhere to buy.

Economics is not a one way thing. For every positive, there are often potential negatives. It is the job of the CBN to manage conflicting possibilities.

I suspect the CBN will probably prefer naira to steadily rise to say around N1250 by end of 2026, N1100 by end of 2027, and N1000 by end of 2028. Steady as you go.

But the CBN will be under tremendous political pressure from APC leaders to allow naira to gain fast later this year so APC can go into 2027 elections saying 'We told you so...Mr Tinubu is an economic genius. Vote for him to perform more magic'.

It is what politicians all over the world do. Mr Trump has been trying to sack the American Central bank Governor for several months now because the Governor refused to cut interest rate as fast as Mr Trump wants.

I have said this before on this platform.

Apart from perhaps the huge survival error that Tinubu made by floating the naira during his office assumption speech, his economic team anchored by Cardoso and Tunde Edun has been very impressive and hightly commendable.

As earlier mentioned, I still believe that only OBJ has assembled perhaps a better team of technocrats with significant and quality achievements in their given portfolios.

Tinubu brought highly impressive stability to the economy that Buhari brutalized in terms of fuel pricing and FX rate.

However, the hyper-inflation that Tinubu initially created will take years even beyond his second term in office to reverse.
The house rents that have increased, cost of (living) goods and services in the system are not adjusting to the recent reduced price of FX and oil. Hence, the people are still not really feeling the effect.

Day169:
With the recent developments, shouldn't Mexico and Nigeria be on the list?

Yeah. Truly there is no way Nigeria shouldnt be on the list.

Currently, more than 90% of Nigerians are scared to travel by roads due to frequent kidnappers / bandits or highway rubbers.

Also, majority can't visit or dwell in rural areas anymore due to killings. Nigeria is a serious case.

The demons in Mexico are just coming out, they not are really ripe yet.

Why should APC or any opposing political party try to assassinate Obi?

Obi is currently not a threat to Tinubu in the 2027 election. Tinubu is a very smart, desperate and strong politician, and since the key of the nation's treasury is under his control, NO man will be able to overthrow him apart from God himself.

Perhaps Obi may be able to challenge and win the election after 2027.

Edo is synonymous with gun attacks. The attack could be orchestrated within the ADC.

Why should APC or any political party

edlion57:
How about insecurity..who is bankrolling the boko haram and others

Don't mind them my brother.

It is coup against Tinubu that they think bothers or affects us.

Alonko Dangote (Richest black man) not married currently.

Elon musk (Richest man on earth) not married currently.

Bill gates not married currently.

Is there a reason many of those excessively rich men refused to engage a woman?

Perhaps marriage is sort of a distration or undue weight for them?

stan4b:
Just don't see marriage as an achievement.
Everybody think because I'm doing okay, I have my own business, a car, and living comfortably at 35. Then, the next thing must be marriage.

Marriage is good, but, it feels like gambling to me, I may marry now, and not be as happy as I am now.

But, I'm still praying to God to give me someone I can be happy with, not all these runs girls that are everywhere.

That's it. You have a good mind-set.

datola:
Tinubu is really blocking a lot if loopholes.

FIRS (NRS)
NNPC

Lol. . Curb all leakages indeed, or re-route all leakages?

engrchykae:
It's time to let this fool go

Same thing Maresca did with Chelsea. . He started flirting with other clubs hence raised his asking price. He even rubbed it even in the eyes of Chelsea directors. . He was disengaged straight away.

Liam at Chelsea has even made fans to see that Maresca is not something exceptional.

NFF needs to give same treatment to this lad and replace him.
