https://dailytrust.com/fact-check-is-it-true-that-tinubu-has-not-slept-in-any-other-state-apart-from-lagos-as-peter-obi-claimed/

Malroux:
It is mainly targeted at people not supporting this government mainly Igbo.

This is very true....if it seems ur comments is aginst this government,bots begin to screen everything u write here

TenQ:
I have observed that my Nairaland Monika TENQ is "biasedly" NEGATIVELY targeted especially on the religious section of Nairaland.

It doesn't matter if it was a TEXT or an IMAGE it receives a Ban irrespective of what is written.

Are Nairaland bots programmed to read image texts using OCR? I doubt.

When I post using my friends account, the Bots seem not to know that it is the same me making the posts.

Seun, I ask you to just check. I suspect someone has done some things to the Bot rules behind your back.




Who else have noticed this on their Posts?


I will not be surprised if this post is banned as usual!

I noticed it too...i cannot comment in some sections while at others i cannot make short comments.This place sucks

No matter the love, don't ever try to share these few Secrets with a woman. They may comfort and empathize with you today, and go on to use it against you tommorow.

Some guys, when they drink or need sex seriously, they go to any extent to spill out some very deep secrets. Men, you'll learn the hard way if you share these secrets.

You can add other secrets to these if you feel the list is not complete.

Secrets you should never tell your woman?
Here’s the truth every man needs to know:

Iran might be hundred times bigger than Israel but Israel took over Iran airpspace unchallenged for a week.that means if they wanted to bomb all ports or power infrastructure in Iran that will be easy bt civilian casualties will increase.iran shot ballistic missiles continuously which is d worst they can.Israel would have crippled Iran bt it might loose Tel-Aviv to constant missiles which is a chance it isn't willing to take

flokii:
The bottomline is that you're a liar.. you have $1m yet you go about portraying yourself as a poor man claiming to own only one shoe and one wristwatch.
H.E Nyesom Wike exposed you for who you are.. a deceitful person.

He never said he can't afford to buy 1 million shoes.Poor man mentality sha cannot be cured

richmond500:
Obi did u give Wike expensive wine or not?
U are drinking wine that could cost N50m but telling people u wear two pair of shoe for 25yrs.

That's not frugal, that is just yeye talk for the camera.
Coming to tell people how u wear two shoes but leaving the part where u spend lavishly on wine is rubbish.
Just say u don't like fashion but will rather put that money on partying and clubbing

So he shouldn't buy expensive wine becos he believes in management of resources

Wat a joke...Tpain can never probe his partner in crime

Man wet never see money handle babe wit bbl no suppose answer this question

For years, Israelis will see Iran in their dreams.

No country has EVER humiliated them this way before.

D only way they will regret is if d nukes weren't destroyed.if d B2 bombing was fully a success then it's a win for israel

Illegal by who? There is no where in the Nigerian constitution where it states that owning a taser is a crime, you're just an illiterate.

Section 33 of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees the right to life and self-defense. A Fulani man can carry a cutlass and walk about, but a law abiding citizen cannot own a taser which is non lethal?

This issue has been clarified before, but the NPF will claim it's illegal, whereas only the court can determine that. The police has NO right to tell you you can't own a taser, but most of you are ignorant of the law.

I won't argue further with you, most of you are one eyed people thinking you see well.

I own one and investigated before purchasing becos it's not mentioned as fire arm or prohibited by Nigerian law

Thescrutinyng:
Last week’s statement by Lagos-based church House on The Rock is very ludicrous, hilarious and a clear assault on the sensibilities of discerning Nigerians. The senior pastor of the church, Paul Adefarasin, was recently invited for questioning by the police over a viral video in which he pointed an object that many believed was a firearm at a content creator who is popular for filming luxury cars and sharing the footage on his platforms. Many Nigerians demanded a probe of the incident, as there was a huge debate on what Adefarasin, who was the convener and host of ‘The Experience’ gospel concert, pointed at the unarmed civilian. While many claimed it was a gun, some said it was torchlight; others said it was a taser.

Adefarasin promised to address the incident during the Sunday service, but rather than do so, the highly respected cleric chose to play the victim. Describing the incident as both hurtful and malicious, he said he felt hurt and shocked when he learnt of the online controversy surrounding the video. While denying that he neither owned a firearm nor pointed any such item at anyone, he attributed the false allegations to “clickbaiters” seeking financial gain. To crown it all, he said his church doesn’t dignify hate speech or false accusations, and with this statement, he considers the matter settled.

He said, “The enticement of the enemy is always the love of money and the root of all evil. What we have had to witness is clickbaiters just looking for more money. I probably wasn’t even their target. Their target was to make more money. And I was falsely accused of bearing a firearm and pointing a firearm at an aggressive content creator who came within personal distance.”

“The only thing separating me and him was about maybe three-quarters of a metre and glass. I do not have a pistol licence for a firearm. I do not carry a firearm. And I pointed no firearm at anybody. Amen. And it’s our policy not to dignify hate speech or false accusations. We believe that God is bigger than that. And we believe in what is said in Romans 12 and verse 19. And it was unique because it came home on a Saturday when I observe the Sabbath. Because it’s a great time for me. I don’t make a huge law out of Sabbath, but I believe in the principle of Sabbath. And unfortunately, several people called me and sent me many videos. I was shocked".

I’ll be candid with you. I was shocked. I was hurt. I am human. But God is touched with the feeling of our infirmities and is able to first give us succour. And what the enemy means for evil, he works for good. On that note, I will lay that matter to rest.”

Rather than lay the matter to rest, many Gen Z netizens kept asking questions and asking the police to investigate the incident. Yes, agreed, you did not point a firearm at anybody. The question is, what object were you holding? That was the major question the pastor could have addressed while providing clarity on the matter. By not telling Nigerians, the object pointed at the content creator; all your explanations are simply fatuous. It would have been better if the pastor had kept quiet rather than offering an explanation which did not answer the question many demanded an answer to: what object were you holding?

Nigeria’s primary law enforcement agency, the police, decided to step in. The Lagos state police command invited Pastor Adefarasin, and he turned himself in as a law-abiding and responsible citizen. In a statement posted on the police X handle, it said the object seen in the viral video was not a firearm but a stun gun, which is classified as prohibited anti-riot equipment.

The statement said, “Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who turned himself in today at the Lagos State Police Command over a viral video where he was seen holding a gun-like object against another road user, was interrogated, and he volunteered a cautionary statement to the police investigators. What was recovered from him, the gun-like object seen in the viral video, is not a lethal weapon or firearm but a stun gun, which is a prohibited anti-riot equipment. The pastor has been granted bail while investigations continue into the case.”

The church, however, faulted the police statement and even tried to educate the country’s law enforcement agents on what constitutes an offence or not. The full statement by the church’s media department reads, “We are grateful to everyone who has expressed concern following Pastor Paul Adefarasin’s voluntary attendance at the Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday, 17 June 2025.

“Pastor Paul was detained for several hours and released without charge. During that time, an official police tweet mislabelled his strobe-light stinger—also known as a stun gun—as “prohibited anti-riot equipment”. Leading Nigerian lawyers advise that this description is incorrect in law. Pastor Paul continues to cooperate fully with the police investigation and is confident that, once the facts are reviewed, he will be exonerated of the allegation arising from the viral video. We hold the police in high esteem and trust they will strive to act courteously and professionally, in the interest of all, while upholding the laws of the land.”

The church said, “Leading Nigerian lawyers advise that a stun gun is not a prohibited anti-riot equipment.” Who are these faceless senior lawyers who know more than our security agents and are trying to educate them? Honestly, we play too much in this country.

Even in an advanced country like the United Kingdom, a stun gun is deemed illegal? To fact-check, I googled, ‘Is a stun gun legal in the UK? The response I got was, “No, stun guns are illegal in the UK. They are classified as prohibited weapons under the Firearms Act 1968 and are considered dangerous due to the high-voltage electricity they discharge. Possession, purchase, or import of stun guns without lawful authority can result in severe penalties, including imprisonment and fines.”

Despite the church’s antics, Moshood Jimoh, the Lagos State police commissioner, insisted that Pastor Paul committed an offence the moment he pointed a stun gun at another individual, as his action constituted a violation of the Firearms Act.

By interrogating Pastor Paul, the police have done a great job, and they ought to be commended. Even if he was not detained, the fact that he was summoned and the stun gun recovered has doused the suspense the issue generated, as many Nigerians wanted to know the object the cleric pointed at the harmless content creator whose major offence was filming a car. We are humans, and nobody is immune to making mistakes.

I think Pastor Paul, a man I had tremendous respect for, should submit himself for counselling on anger management. No one is too big to learn. In December 2023, the pastor allegedly smashed the window of a bus driver who hit his car and injured passengers in the bus. Neither the pastor nor the church made any statement on that particular incident.

A laissez-faire country, where people can behave however they want without recourse to the law, is dangerous for all. It doesn’t speak well of the country when foreigners are reading that two distribution companies in Lagos (Ikeja Electric and Eko Disco) were attacked by men in military uniforms, inflicting injuries on civilians doing their lawful duties simply because they were disconnected from having electricity supply over unpaid debt.

As responsible citizens, we should learn to abide by the law at all times. That is how saner climes where we all desire to ‘japa’ work. Many Nigerians who are reckless drivers here and who usually drive without insurance or a licence know they can’t try it in the UK. They know the full weight of the law will be brought on them if caught, no matter their status in society. In January 2023, the immediate Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, was fined for not wearing a seatbelt while sitting at the back of a car. Sunak fully accepted that it was a mistake. He apologised and paid the fine. Who will fine a state governor in Nigeria for not using a seatbelt?

The other day, a former governor who is now a serving senator, Adams Oshiomhole, was accused of blocking the terminal gate of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), domestic wing in Lagos, after missing his Abuja-bound flight. The airline said he reportedly arrived at the airport by 6:20am for a flight that was to depart by 6:30am. When he was told that his flight had departed, he reportedly blocked the entrance, preventing other passengers from gaining entrance to the terminal. In a saner clime, that will be treated as an act of terrorism, but Nigeria is a country where anything goes. Oshiomhole also justified his action and accused Air Peace of institutional extortion. However, would he have done the same if the incident had happened at Nairobi or Cairo international airports?

Israel Was Hit Really Hard Says Trump

I luv d honesty...that's why most people voted trump
Not it normal politician

LordBiden:
No single isreal goal was achieved.
The bombings by America will now embolden the Iranians,they will kickstart rebuilding of the nuclear weapons.This time they will do it faster.

There are even evidence the whole thing was moved elsewhere.



Iran is the winner here.

Iran lost more people...Iran lost its nuclear ambition....if u tink Israel never expected ballistic missiles to hit dem then u must be joking.Iron some was never meant to counter ballistic missiles

'If Khamenei stops the fire, we'll accept that': Israel signals readiness to end war with Iran

Less than a day after the US strike, Israel signals it’s open to ending the war; Natanz likely destroyed, with Fordo and Isfahan heavily damaged; Iran’s remaining missile capacity is unclear, and non-military targets may now be on the table

Israeli officials signaled Sunday that the country is prepared to halt its military campaign against Iran if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ceases hostilities and seeks a resolution to the conflict.
The comments came hours after the U.S. struck Iran's primary nuclear facilities, following more than a week of sustained Israeli attacks on targets across the Islamic Republic. According to Israeli assessments, the American strike caused extensive damage. The Natanz facility is believed to have been destroyed, while those in Fordow and Isfahan suffered serious hits.

Security sources in Israel estimate that hundreds of kilograms of enriched nuclear material were destroyed in the attacks. “If tomorrow Khamenei stops the fire and says he wants to end this — we will accept that,” an Israeli official said.

Despite the initial assessments, Israeli officials stressed that the full impact of the American strike has yet to be independently verified. “The defense establishment believes the Iranians were unable to remove significant quantities of enriched material ahead of the strike,” one official said. “At most, they managed to extract a small amount. The bulk — several hundred kilograms — was destroyed.”


How long should the public brace for this conflict? What does a “prolonged campaign” mean?
“We’ve prepared the public for a prolonged campaign. This doesn’t depend on us — it depends on the Iranians,” officials said. “If Iran drags us into a war of attrition, it will take time. That’s not what we want. We hope to wrap this up soon — ideally this week. But if Khamenei keeps firing, we’ll respond. We can’t absorb without reacting. Our interest is not to prolong this.”

Does Israel have enough interceptors?
“We’re continuing to produce interceptors, and the defense budget has been reinforced,” said officials. “Everything has a shelf life. But the main objective — hitting the nuclear program — has been achieved. The missile platforms and launchers are still being targeted and will continue to be in the coming days.”
What is Israel’s overarching goal — limiting the nuclear program or regime change?
“The primary goal has always been the nuclear program. Regime change was never the objective. Undermining the regime may result from the strikes, but it was never the aim.”


Will Israel settle for damaging the nuclear infrastructure, or seek broader strategic gains?
“If tomorrow Khamenei stops the fire and says he wants to end this — we will accept that.”
Is Israel now expecting a nuclear agreement?
“There’s little to no chance. We don’t see them entering negotiations.”


Is there an understanding between Israel and the U.S. about the ‘day after’?
“For now, we’re watching to see what Khamenei does,” officials said. “If he draws the Americans into the conflict, that’s one scenario. If he only targets Israel, that’s another. Broadly, the U.S. would like to see Iran return to negotiations. But everything hinges on what Khamenei chooses — whether he attacks the U.S., only Israel, agrees to talks or surrenders. We, for our part, don’t want to prolong the campaign.”
Iran targets Israeli civilian centers, while Israel strikes military and governmental targets. Could Israel change that approach?
“We’re not Iran — we don’t target civilians,” officials emphasized. “When they deliberately hit civilians and we don’t, it gives us international legitimacy. We’ve managed to turn Iran into a global problem. From Paris to Rome to New York, the world now understands what could happen if this spreads. We are a democracy, not a dictatorship — and we don’t kill civilians.”


Was Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile destroyed in the U.S. strike?
“We don’t have final confirmation. Even if not all of it was destroyed, we hope 80–90 percent was. It’s still early. We’ll have better verification in the coming days — even if not to the last millimeter.”

How many launchers and missiles does Iran still have?
“We’ve destroyed more than 50 percent of their launchers. Around 200 remain. They still have about 1,500 missiles.”
Is Iran planning retaliatory terror attacks abroad against Israeli or Jewish targets?
“Foreign terror attacks are always a possibility — that’s why we’ve raised our alert level and are making a major effort to prevent them.”
Where are the War Cabinet ministers right now?
“They’re in a secure bunker — and sleeping there. Their families are elsewhere, in undisclosed safe locations. Only the ministers are in the bunker. Even Sara Netanyahu is not staying there.”

D goal was always to stop Iran from getting nukes....mission accomplished

Dronedude:
China is a super country after testing out a biological weapons in 2019 and placing dominance, having such gigantic project is paramount. But trust that they won't use it carelessly unlike Iran or North Korea.

It surprises me wen i hear people say Iran has a right to own nukes....i would rather be at rest wit south Africa owning nukes than Iran.u cannot sponsor terrorism all around d world n chant death to other nations for yrs n expect d world to allow u hav nukes

It was under d watchful eye of Clinton that north korea develop nuclear weapon.if only clinton was a man like trump to strike before they did...

Sirmwill:
Did anyone read Trump's X statement

For real

Trump is now seemingly a worse dictator
And a fast rising Adolf Hitler.

If Iran had nuclear weapons, they would never have dared attack Iran.

You see life?

Nonsense talk.
Wats wit this nairaland quality post wit 40 words robot that keeps popping up

DomPerignon:
Yeah . No damage at all but the same Israeli govt quickly passed a law that criminalizes filming and uploading pictures of bombed sites.

And Iran has putboff internet since beginning of d war

Heffalump:
It's not all yorubas. There are ones that really understand the dynamics of terrorism orchestrated by Iran in the entire globe. My worry is those low budget content creators who think by supporting Iran and fanning China/Russia will bring peace to the world.


One thing is that we cannot solve the painful human problem of misunderstanding and biased opinion. I see no reason why someone will gladly support Russia invasion of Ukraine, but condemn the reaction of Israel against Iran. If both scenarios are viewed as preemptive actions to prevent tomorrow's catastrophic outcome as a safe measure, then be bold to balance your criticism.

There have been evil men in the world right from human evolution. Just that it's worse in this modern day of AI.

U are very right.Israel fears an iran wit nukes n hav better intelligence to know wen its abt to happen.Its logical to attack first n stop dem frm obtaining d nukes than wait n fight a nuclear state...which will verily translate to a ww3 at that point
