helinues:Chairman, the foreigner is talking about N1,000 as the highest donomination of a country and it's ridiculous purchasing power. Hence it's equivalent in this context in the US is $100 bill. And she's actually right that the value of it is not even up to $1. That's why Nigerians work like elephants and eat like rats. Stop trying to circumvent the correct narrative. |
Clowns. But they cannot march or protest all these years against the daily killings, bombings and bloodbath of their fellow brothers and sisters by Boko Haram and the likes right in their face. Tinubu is a Muslim. For him to appoint Amupitan to umpire the election shows how liberal he is. Since the constitution have given the power to the president to appoint INEC chair, even if Amupitan is removed, do they think Tinubu will replace him with someone he does not trust? Keep whinning urselves. Must every core position in the country be given to an Islamic extreemist or what is wrong with brain of these people? |
givedemwotowoto:Over 500 young widows in that video, and their husbands were killed by the fulanis. Our govt turns blind eyes to this. Trying to create a different rhetoric to the international observers. This is serious. |
US came with same intent, the Nigerian govt and Gumi's circles quickly rejected it, claiming soveriegnty. Now, Turkey is okay to come and establish an Islamic terrorist training camp in Nigeria. That's the result of a Muslim / Muslim ticket. |
If not for the bold efforts of Donald Trump, those perverts will still be controlling UK's systems. When Christians in Nigeria cried out after being attacked, it was only Trump that inspired the American congress to roar and take meaningful action. All the Woke slaves in the West and the UK including the Pope were unconcerned as usual. The is a reason a lot of people in the US, Nigeria and all over the world are still behind Trump and praying for him daily. |
Daddy Omolehin, You are also a father of faith. Take responsibility too sir. You are supposed to use seasoned wisdom to gather and grow the fledgling flock at this age. Do it with gunuine humility and prayers and God may decide to help us and not by flesh. I was under your ministeration for many years. I was under Baba Adeboye's ministration too. No man is perfect, no man at all. I don't want to say more than that. Because the new stones are made to see the works of patriachs before them, esp those they have come across, even from the spirit. May God have mercy everyone. |
falopey:Yeah. They don't have a choice. It's a simple math. It's either they open the straits or suffer brutal economic collapse. The last option is to fight or blow up the US naval vessels and they are already aware the vast consequence of that. Trump na mad man and his eyes are red. It's only a madman that can wrestle or bind another mad man. They fit each other. |
Baba Pope, just leave Donald Trump alone, and focus on the prayers for the church and winning souls for Jesus. How much zeal have put into LGBTQ issues in your domain and mass Christian killings in Nigeria and other places? Trump is a politician bundled with American national interests, pls don't drag politics with him. Sit in your place sir. |
Many of UK's national assets have been bought over by the Islamists. That is why their leadership has been crippled with decision making. EU generally is on a brink of economic collapse. Even Germany that was a manufacturing mammoth is quietly selling many of it's firms to the Chinese currently because they cant win the pricing war and they are no longer having any real edge tech-wise. |
The man (Obi) looks healthy and fit for the job. Tinubu is a strong politician with massive network of people, but he is not fit for the job health-wise obviously. I think Peter Obi would have performed better than President Tinubu. I also think Tinubu is a far better candidate and would have performed better than Atiku Abubakar. That's my scale of ranking. But Nigeria is a very difficult place for a carrier of genuine idea to scale through. |
Anti aircraft launcher, ammunition drones recently. . These guys are actually preparing for a war. But our security services are still sleeping in my opinion. God help Nigeria. |
CondemnBattery:You are absolutely correct. |
dederocs:Hmm. If we pull from OPEC and start dictating our own price and production quota, it still does not solve the issue honestly. The issue is not with revenue, but proper allocation, supervision and usage of the derived proceeds. Our process is too weaved with corruption. That's why we are in same shoes as Venezuella etc. |
Was this not the man they said was sick all this while? Thank God is back now. Hope he has rested well and treated himself properly? |
Iran, just go and attack or blow up the American navy vessels that are causing blockage to ur exports as you threatened and stop running around like chickens. Is it Saudi, Qatar, UAE or Bahrain that is blocking the strait? |
Risingblue008:The Pope is also trying to politicize his stance. Since the office of the Pope was created through church administrative voting plus governmental influence, I don't blame him from seeing things from a political or shallow point. Trump can be very erratic, but he is more moral and strong-willed for Christ than the Pope. Can that Pope face LQBTQ within the Catholic or the church by his own? Has that Pope made any genuine attempt concerning Christian killings in Nigeria? Despite the huge numbers. Like him or not, Trump is a warrior that God somehow has been able to use in this age in the US and the world at large. |
fineboynl:You are absolutely correct. Look Iranians have lots of mines, drones, and weapons that they plan to use there. It's so complicated. For me, I just believe both parties are at extreme levels right now and are ready for further escalation. Trump wants Iran to blow up his vessels. Honestly, things will not be funny if Iran try such. |
1. Trump is using the navy flock as a bait to hit Iran at extreme levels. He wants the IRGC to blow up his navy vessels. Honestly, the repercusison will be too much on the Iranians. 2. I think he is also trying to block it bcoz of IRGC's dedollarization attempt (the toll fees the Iranians are taking in Yuan and other currencies). Let everything choke for everyone. |
Heffalump:They will always get ceasefire with US if they are ready to calm down and stop uranium enrichment. That is the core contention at this point. But Iran will not rest until it is able to dominate the gulf tru fear and suppression and eliminate or supress that which it sees and cancerous, which are the Zionites and/or the US. Israel in particular (and US) will also never rest until they see that Iran is disarmed of extreme weapons that can threaten their existence. The enmity is deep and started thousands of years ago. It's only a very strong man's forceful hit that can reset or change the resolve of the Iranians now. At least, temporarily. |
ReacherSaidNoth:Lol. I have seen and heard of lots of daring people with words like yours. Today, most of them, if not all, are evangelists or flamming missionaries for Christ. A man does not know God, until God decides to reveal Himself to the the man. |
FreeStuffsNG:Bro, you need to leave nairaland and google the subject points properly. Thanks. |
FreeStuffsNG:I am an admirer of China's ambition. However, China is not yet there at all. It will take nothing less than 15 to 20 years to displace the USD. If current prevailing variables remain constant. Do you know that Petrol-dollar (oil based tradings) only contribute to about 20% of SWIFT transactions? Other non-oil related transactions such as electronics, AI & tech, construction, food, clothing etc constitute about 80%. Even if Iraq and some other middle eastern countries reject USD now, yes it will affect US, but they will still be fine ultimately. The system globally has been entrenched to favor dollar receipts, and will take a while to get it changed. CPC (China) will have to earn global trust and transparency that it does not manipulate it's currency value and it's reserve status unduly. Which currently they are not doing. China still have long way to go thou. Currently USD have 58% of global foreign reserve while Yuan have just 2%. |
A supposed mediator is not supposed to be one-sided, biased or emotional. Who even gave Pakistan the table to broker a ceasefire deal between these nations? Pakistani values will surely be in-line with the Iranians, even if not verbally expressed. I don't think a ceasefire is realistic at this point. Let the fire exchanges continue. Let's see how it goes. |
Joshcoli:Those that are hailing Iran deep down knows what you are saying is the truth. But it's a religious chess game. Look at how their proxies even in Nigeria is cutting human beings with machete and cutlass and gunshots every hour per day. Shedding so much blood everywhere. |
Trump and the Pentagon can never trust Iran. Iran also can never trust Trump. I am sorry Iran don't have the cards currently. Iran is the global hub (the powerhouse) and source of instigation for Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis, Isis etc. That's the spirit driving there. Even you will notice that when the terrorists in Nigeria recently felt like Iran is defeating or scattering Trump, they started killing and kidnapping with intensity everywhere. It was only yesterday and today that they paused becoz they are awaiting the fate of Iran. If Iran had just 20% of the kind of power that the USA posseses, truth is, the whole world by now would have been bowing down to Allah Akbar by fire by force. Truth is, if IRGC think they can fustrate Trump or a ceasefire, US will not attack the civil Iranians surely, but their economy, insfastructure and millitary will cry poverty extremely within the next few decades. At this point, I will say even Venezuellans are wiser than Iranians. |
You will notice that we have not heard a case of killings kidnapping and bombings around Nigeria today. Which is strange. Those guys are trying to observe the fate of their masters (the source of their inspiration, Iran) today. |
Oh, I felt they were bragging and dragging with Trump to do his worst. |
What did his father achieve as a leader of the nation? The worst and the most carefree president. Almost destroyed the economy completely to ruins. Instead of this young man to go and hide his face in shame. Well, I trust the northerners, they will still worship him and vote for him. Nigeria is an amazing country. |
The rescued soldier is a US air force colonel. About a dozen aircrafts were sent for the mission. Yes, helicopters and possibly C-130 was hit. US is more concerned abt the safety of their soldier. They have more than enough stock of war planes. That clownish Iranian IRGC spokesman is just trying to massage their collective ego. By time Trump and IDF starts hitting them further from Monday or Tuesday, their eyes will clear. *** At the end of this war, Iran will be seriously economically and millitarily delapitated. USA's global hegemony may be hit especislly in the middle east and western EU, and dollarization may be a bit undermined. Israel will also have some vast economic damage. |
Richtaiwo:The picture above is a low quality digitally manipulated image. Very fake. |
Jovi10:A10 warthog and F15 Eagle are some of the cheapest war jets on the US's fleet. The are sent specifically to do the dirty low altitude combats in this war. They are not stealth and it is expected that some of them will get hit by enemy fire. US have extensive number of war aircrafts to be honest. By far the largest stock in the world. Don't think these loses will mean anything much. |
HacheNoire:Actually, its an F15 that was shot down and not F35. F35s are stealth jets. They will be difficult to track. The F15s fly at low altitude and they are specifically used in this war to combat Iranian Shahed drones. Even stealth jets are not completely invisible to a detecting rader, it's their flying altitude and maneuvering speed that makes them extremely difficult to track down. US has almost 14,000 war aircrafts. Iran war will affect them but they will be fine ultimately. It is Iran just like Ukraine in the east and Israel that will suffer the most. Their major prayer should just be that Saudi, UAE, Qatar etc does not dump the US dollar and usage of American war machines after this war. |
