Foreign Affairs › Re: Israel-iran War Continues As Iranian Minister Travels To Meet European Leaders by Basicend:
Let us keep praying to peace to be achieved.

This is the most critical and delicate status I have ever seen Israel, or the USA if they jumped into this matter, since I have lived.

Iran has a massive stock pile of missiles in thousands, and they also have the support of Russia, China and North Korea and some Islamic nations.

I didn't expect China to swing to their side initially.

Israel cannot face them with missile exchange. Israel have acted wisely by carefully removing their strategic leadership and scientists. But it has not reduced the determination of their people. Even killing of their leader is not going to put off their momentum at this point.

And, if America jumps in now, Russia and China will rise against them. It even looks like a bait now.

And since Trump had misbehaved recently towards his major allies, I hope US will be able to gather required support to pull this.

It's such a critical game.

USA and the EU must really stand in support of Israel to pass through this. Let's pray against a global war.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Israel Spending $285 Million A Night On Missile Defense In Iran War (pics) by Basicend: 1:21pm On Jun 19, 2025
That the issue.

Both the launcher and the defender are heavily incurring high costs.

That's why a war is not always the best way to address issues.

That's why Trump is not comfortable and trying to jump in, coz indirectly, America will bear the costs significantly.

Iran too has reduced the load of their launched missiles due to the cost being uncured.
Foreign Affairs › Re: US begins Evacuations Of American Citizens Out Of Israel by Basicend: 9:26pm On Jun 18, 2025
jayce232:
America evacuating her citizens is because they are about to strike Iran hard. Secondly whether Israel is wining or not, it is never in the habit of America leaving her citizens in war prone zone. Go check history. There was a time America advice US citizens to leave Nigeria sometime back because of fear of insecurity. America is not a third world country like ours that care less about her citizens.
This is the only major sensible comment in the lot.

China will not meddle into this issue. They will be neutral.

Russia is busy with Ukraine, so they wont pull in too much to avoid getting over-stretched.

For now, Iran will not be able to handle Israel and USA at same time.

I don't know what their leader was smoking while threatening Donald Trump. If he is sure of himself, he should sit down in the country o.

lipsrsealed
Iran must not be allowed to own nuclear weapons,.....Is that too difficult to sink into the ears of those terrorists? angry.
Lol. The attack from Nathanyahu is even a retaliation to previous layers of hostilities and air strikes between the 2 countries. So the short-sight from Bernie is obvious.

The USA and Israel are not even dragging a war with Iran right now, the core of the matter is that Iran should halt it's nuclear arm project, and it's leader should surrender or make himself available for capture.

The matter has even gone beyond Donald Trump, as it is now a G7 resolution and commitment.

madridguy:
The time we surely come and everyone will be alive to see Iran having Nuclear weapon.

Now everyone can see the real people fighting Iran cheesy
You cannot put nuclear weapon in the hand of the principal sponsor of mass bombings and terrorism globally. How do you people think?

If it was Iran that was in the same shoe as Israel all these years, they would have nuked out Israel.

A people that says Alahu-Akbar and bombs an entire place plus themselves cannot be trusted with such extreme weapon against humanity.

It is God that has allowed peace to still rain in the world today by removing extreme powers from the likes of Iran, Iraq etc.

It's common sense. Iran is very radical.

Business › Re: Oil Prices Soar After Israel Attacks Iran's Nuclear Facilities by Basicend:
kpankpangolo:
I will never understand how these conflicts fluctuate oil prices. I honestly don’t care since they benefit us.
Prices are actually speculatively influenced by OPEC.
Factors like wars, rising geo-political tensions, natural disasters, govt change etc can disrupt the productive levels in a particular country, which ultimately affects supplies and price.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump To Iran: "Just Do It, Before It's Too Late by Basicend:
Trump is just so funny with words.

I pity Iran in this Trump era. . These Israeli attacks are purely in collaboration with the US, forget media narratives.

And I tell you, they are just waiting for Iran to misbehave.

Also in my opinion, a nuclear-powered Iran is a huge threat to world peace or order. It should not be allowed.

Jaylord12:
This statistics is not true at all...

If you have investment in the country you will realise that things are in shambles then try to Import essential commodities you will be frustrated.

The best we can do is to take off our mind from this gangs of organised wickedness, so you can't keep yourself in a spot for 4/8 years...
My brother,

It depends on where you are importing from.
If you importing from US, Canada, UK or EU, yes, you may experience some strain currently.

Most Nigerian businesses that are surviving have their imports from China in particular.
If you can find those products there, I wld suggest you switch.

Chinese govt have heavily subsidized export price and distribution for many of their companies. Infact they have built ports and have logistics companies in many countries now.

That is why you can ship a lot of volume from there to Nigeria at very reduced rates.

Also, check, streamline or reduce your overhead costs to the very minimum.

You have to be extremely dynamic, determined and creative to survive in Nigeria.

If Naira FX rate can continue to be
stabilized, and lending rate is reduced, then many SMEs may be able to climb back to constant profitability.

China didn't start it. They only responded so they can't be said to have chickened out
Yes, technically, you are very correct.

But you know, President Xi was initially reluctant to even speak with Trump.

But he eventually calmed down too, they both had lengthy conversation on the phone last week or so.

For the past 2 years, China's president has been rated by Forbes and some other platforms as the Most Powerful Man in the world.
No 2 is Putin.
Trump ranks no 3.

I believe his (Trump) eyes is getting cleared now. Both countries just have to find ways to peacefully accommodate themselves.
Foreign Affairs › Re: US And China Agree On Plan To Ease Export Controls After Trade Talks In London by Basicend:
Commentor:
TACO.

Trump Always Chickens Out.
Both leaders truthfully chickened out in a way.

Both countries are extremely inter-dependent economic-wise, so for now, and therefore, a further aggressive action or decision from either end will be disastrous.

Most of us love the USA, but truth is, China is the nation on a rising trajectory and power currently.

Well, subject news is good for global investors and stakeholders. Atleast, let everyone rest.
Travel › Re: Nigerians In USA Even With Documents Are Being Careful by Basicend:
What Trump is doing, perhaps unknowingly to him is to make USA appear like a hostile ground and an enemy to the world.

Due to his entitled arrogance and foolishness. Where is the MAGA gain now?

Many shipping contracts have been cancelled by partner nations seeking for better terms. Many trading partners e.g Canada, EU countries etc have found new countries and diverting their goods off the USA.

American ports are getting less busy by the day.

Tourism industry is dead.

Trump is sending out questionnaire to many countries to state their terms coz he observed that most countries are not willing to trade with US anymore.

Even Elon musk is trying to pull out Tesla and Co from the USA now due to unfriendly business conditions.

Trump is a master at Bankrupting anything he touches.

IT, e-commerce, web design, AI advancements, agriculture and it's machinery etc should rather be encouraged.

Why do we keep wasting so much lives and tax payers resources fighting insurgency in which when we capture the bandits, we celebrate them, refurbish them, and re-habilitate them back into the same terrorized zones.

And after a few moment, they ultimately return back to the Sambisa forest to regroup claiming hunger.

What a joke of a system.

ARISHEM:
This is getting serious.
Musk won’t win. He should know that.
It’s too early for him to lock horns with Trump. He gave Trump the platform and Trump used both him and the platform brilliantly.
He (Elon) is so pained b'coz he has lost so much monies under a govt he significantly financed into power. He leveraged trump into power and felt he would be able to control his decisions. So sad the illusion turned out this way.

His shares in US and Tesla's patronage and factories globally was badly hit due to stupid Trumps' tariffs. Yet, Trump went further to sneak a bill (EV Mandate) behind him that will further reduce his business leverage and sales.

He wont win a battle with the president. It will be his biggest mistake so far. I am sorry for him.

It seems Trump has said Elon's government contracts will be cancelled. Trump na dirty fighter before, Elon won't know what hit him. Don't be surprised if Elon is deported. He illegally entered the US in the past and Trump can use that against him.
Yes, you are correct. No one's fights the govt and win.

Elon will loose a lot on this and yes, he may be deported.
Tax, contracts, company subsidies etc. Trump has too many ways to destroy him.

Check what happened to Jack ma, when he began to talk against the Chinese govt. Today he has lost many of his funds and power.

For you really love nigerians


Deliver nigerians from tinubu and his blood suckin vampires
No! No!

Atiku is championing that cause only due to his financial status.

He (Atiku) has absolutely nothing to offer Nigeria. Obi is should keep pushing as a flag bearer. It might reach his turn after 2027.

Apart from the Almighty God, no one can unseat a seating Tinubu, as president. He is a very skilled and desperate politician. Very different from Goodluck Jonathan.

Danisaint112:
Peter Obi allegedly agreed to be vice to Atiku, but Atiku has selfish ambitions that Peter Obi doesn’t want to be a part of, in order not to tarnish his good reputation. Reason the coalition is having issues.

If only Nigerians could think for themselves and realize that this man, Peter Obi is the closest thing to “right” we have in this country, everyone would be rallying around him.
Well, Obi looks like a good man and he might be able to steer the economy in a better direction than the incumbent leader.

But, where does he get monies like the N20 million that he dashes in most places? Where does he get monies to be travelling to Italy, US and all these overseas events up and down almost every day?

Only a very rich man in the current Nigerian climate can afford those spendings.

I can't trust any Nigerian politician. They are somehow all the same.

Reno initially mentioned that he would not revert to this issue again recently. And, we felt we were hearing a word from a man.

Even, a woman is not this unstable. I thought Asiwaju had given him a job recently. . He needs to find something doing.

I am not a Nathasha fan, I don't like her ways, but Reno is a nuisance to the media. Dancing like a lost masquerade.

Beautiful young woman, if you are truly expecting a partner from God, just note that God will work on both of you simultaneously before he can permit u guys to have a union.

You have to play ur own part by adjusting to the moldings of God which may be tough at times. He will work on your faithfulness, expectations, character and willingness to yield to His purpose for the marriage.

He will also surely make the man to love you as he prepares him.

It is easy to speak.

You must truly pray, and be ready indeed.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Ukraine Says More Than 40 Russian Warplanes Hit In Massive Drone Strikes by Basicend:
Kemistri3:
Russian military and intelligence agencies are ass. They're only good in poisoning Putin's political opponents

Ukraine smuggled in drones, assembled and deployed them right on russian soil

In fact, the control center for this attacks were based right opposite an FSB office(russian equivalent of FBI and DSS)

Putin is responsible for the destruction of Russia
Apparently, if the drones flew in from Ukraine, they would have been tracked down.

They had to launch them from within Russia.

Yes, I also believe Trump and American intelligence with NATO had a clue. He had been harping it for a while how he has been preventing Putin from serious attacks.

Russia will retaliate very strongly.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Ukraine Says More Than 40 Russian Warplanes Hit In Massive Drone Strikes by Basicend:
The advent of war drones has made the imagination of a contemporary world war very scary.

Issues of mass launch at targets, and tendencies of inaccurate tracking of air defences are high.

So is also the rate at which some irrational countries are stock pilling them.

Don't be deceived. I have seen different sorts of women.

What makes a woman submit or profess "surface love" continuously and publicly to any man is because the man is either powerful or rich.

Those are the 2 two variables she is responding to.

A woman is a woman.

Bring them into a fierce furnace of suffering and trials, and you will see another face.
