🚨 Breaking: Iran's 🇮🇷 IRGC Quds Force commander Gen. Esmail Qaani is confirmed safe in Israel 🇮🇱

It can now be revealed that he was an Israeli asset, providing intelligence that led to elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Hezbollah leaders Nasrallah and Safieddine.

Are you kidding me

This had better be false.

Iamoyindamola this is giving the vibe of Tehran TV series in real life

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
You have enough reason to be excited, to be happy, to troll those who are not supporting Israel. This is your moment.
The US government evacuated most of their diplomats and families in the Middle East before the Israeli airstrikes. They know what's at stake. Just like the US lawmakers, government officials in that screenshot.

I like this humble version of u; maybe Israel should be striking Iran regularly so ur body go dey calm down like this

Imagine what small Israel is doing to almighty Iran. What do u think will happen if the Americans decide to take on Iran ?

At least now we go rest small with from ur spamming news about the Axis of terror

afrodoc2:
It is called situation renovation, and you are talking to the Victor ludorum of that.

It is like a guy who boasts about how great his gf is, only to catch one of his guys cuddling her. He then boasts it is only cuddle you cuddled, only to next catch them knacking her. He then boasts that na nacking una nack, you no give am bele, only for the girl to be impregnated by his guys.

The level of goalpost shifting and situation renovation is both highly and deeply impressive.

The guy just dey carry goalpost from one part of Maracana to the other . I salute him for his efforts

MorataFC:
The whole thing is rubbish. Seun should know that for every tight rule or restriction, there's always a workaround.
I doubt this rules will stand the test of time

How does a 40-character limit stop anyone from booking the space?

Have you seen the recent posts that made it to the Front Page? People are still booking space using gibberish posts like:
"fgtrdxdekcjgjdbeb vjfjenxndnsbcj wejcjtrjcjrjc"
just to meet the 40-character requirement. Then they simply edit the post after.

I also don't think the 40-character limit will solve the space booking problem, I only gave a possible reason behind its introduction by the site owner . I can't think of any other reason why he may have introduced it.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This is too early to celebrate. Be calm, watch as things unfold because Iran will respond. This is an unprovoked attack against Iran. Reasonable people are praying for the safety of Israel.

hahahahahahhaha

A whole Okpa; the nairaland sports section analyst on Iranian affairs has now been reduced to sharing screenshots of people "praying" for Israel .

This Israel move really touched a nerve

They don respond

Intercontinental ballistic Missile wey go still end up killing one or two Palestinians

Ibime:
Remember where he dared Israel to kill any Iran top General or Ayatollah if their mind sure them, that's it's a sure declaration of war, now they are dead and Ayatollah dey bunker dey tweet yet Iran dey fear to declare war

I remember clearly well.

I hope nihilistjnr finds time to come online and come konk his head for all the braggado he did while they were both discussing Iran Vs Israel back then. No name wey he no call nihilsitjnr that time; even sportsweb told him those braggado he was doing won't age well.

Today 15 senior military men including Iranian Chief of army staff have been wiped off the face of the earth and he's boring us with talks of Guerella warfare and War being a marathon not a sprint .

PrinceEma:
Oh he braghe a year ago? Lmoa.

And in the screeenshot, another guy was reminding him that he bragged the year prior.

Next year, another moniker will use your post to remind him of his annual braggings...hehehe

Na bragging the guy dey use show his support for Iran. He dey always promise things wey even Ayatollah no fit deliver

raumdeuter:
This is an open admission that Iran is inferior to Israel and cannot match them or go toe to toe with them.

Its the equivalent of running Guerilla warfare in Vietnam forest vs US forces

Someone you claim to be his equal cannot be punching you and removing your teeth while you are scratching and biting them

Someone came to your homeland to attack you and the best response is to be attacking their own embassies abroad? Why not go and attack their homeland too

So whats the difference between Iran and Hamas, Houthi is your response is the typical Hamas in tunnels response

The shocking thing is everyone in the world knew Israel would be doing it, they even set an appointment and gave a date, kept the date, even did extras and Iran couldnt do anything to stop it nor counter or even retaliate with equal measures

This isn't the first time, In the last 12months they have cleared IRGC officials multiple times, and what Iran has to show is sending drones that were intercepted easily

By today Israell war cabinet members should be dropping, Bibi, Yoav Gallant, Dermer should be in getting smoke directly not like I will kidnap your citizens on vacation in Brazil type things

Its shameful to say the least

Just 7 months ago the same LordAdam16 was telling us right on this thread that Iran is not Israel's mate . Today he's singing discordant tune and telling us almighty Iran will be operating like Boko Haram to get back at tiny Israel. Smh

LordAdam16:
B0t no go make me quote everybody.

GloriousGbola, ellexy, afrodoc, A40

This is an excerpt from a tourist in Iran on the record to Al Jazeera



That is from the city of Isfahan.
Home to a nuclear site that has not yet been targeted.
And Iranians there are "stunningly relaxed".

Na una dey gyrate.
Everyone else is calm and relaxed.
Hand go touch who e go touch.

Israeli embassies around the world are shut indefinitely.
Israel itself is shut indefinitely.

Target who and where you want to target.
Celebrate your Ws.
The war just started. We're still in first Innings.

-Lord

In October 2024 u were everywhere on this thread telling anyone that cares to listen that Iran is not Israel’s mate . You fought tooth and nail to disprove the notion that Israel’s IAF jet flew unchallenged in Iranian airspace .

Your brother in Iranian affairs Okpa was busy sharing videos of Iranian air defense systems in operation . Both of u beat ur Iranian flat chest that Israel will bite the dust when Iran fully comes at them. Since that time , no show .

Yesterday Israel rubbished all ur previous talking points about the so called superior might of Iranian military by not only operating Unchallenged in Iranian airspace , but they also took out top generals of the IRGC . They rained fire on the identified nuclear sites within Iran’s capital city and here u are boring us tales by moonlight since daybreak .

Baba too much talk no Dey full basket , Israel don knack ur team better apako abeg try rest .

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Iran have joined the big boys. Iran is the only country that have successfully & directly attacked two nuclear armed nation, Pakistan and Israel. You will be very foolish to think they don't have nuclear weapon themselves.
By now we should be seeing satellite images of Israeli successful airstrikes in Iran but nothing to show.


How many top Iranian men did IDF eliminate last night?




Iranian government officials have been landing their aircraft in Beirut back to back amidst Israeli airstrikes waiting for IDF to shoot it down from the sky. IDF didn't take the bait

This didn't age well at all.

Iran and their supporters are known for cho cho cho. They claimed Israel can't smoke "Iranian Top men", now that they've done exactly that, na super story we just dey read since morning.

LordAdam16:
Na you dey reason am like that.

In their mind, they've done the civilized thing of not acquiring a nuke and negotiating for sanctions relief.
Israel and the West tore that sh*t up yesterday. They can now do whatever they like.
Get a nuclear bomb. Be a state sponsor of terrorism. Like Pakistan. There's nothing holding back the crazies.

And I say this as a pro-Axis fella. The crazies give me the heebie-jeebies.
All the people Israel assassinated are the guys who grudgingly accepted that they did not need a nuclear weapon to prevent yesterday.
[b]The guys who'll replace them are the kind of guys who'll back a Kashmir style terrorist attack in and outside Israel targeting Israelis with no care in the world about collateral damage.

Iran has multiple nuclear sites still functioning at the moment.
It hasn't fired a ballistic missile yet. The likes of Ahmadinejad and Jalili are still breathing.
When I say I'm not worried about an Iran-Israel confrontation. This is what I mean.
Israel has taken out the Natanz. Killed half a dozen generals. What has changed?
Except giving hardliners a generational justification to go biblical on Israeli interests around the planet.
Plus, they can and will still acquire the nuke Israel sought to stop.

Is there any Israeli anywhere in the world who'll walk out today without feeling apprehensive about being a victim of a Washington execution like happened with Yaron and Sarah.
Khamenei should issue a fatwa authorizing development of a nuclear weapon and run a test to pacify the hardliners.
Get the bomb. Decide on some kind of revenge. Let calm heads prevail before the bodies of randoms start dropping.
Israel don rush shut down the entire country. 😂
Children. Dem feel say market wen dem b 1 buy get expiry date[/b].



-Lord

If wishes were horses, beggars will ride .

Despite Israel repeatedly pounding the shiiit out of Iran with little or no consequence, see the kind wishful thinking u still dey type.

U get hope pass Job o. Even the things wey Khameni know say his Iran no fit do sef, u get believe say dem go do am

Ibime:
They will just copy and paste a 40 character string to book space

This is just failure of moderation. He should have a moderator whose job is to clean front page topics in real time

This advise is coming like 5 years late. It is something that should've happened long time ago before they destroyed the politics section and front page

iamoyindamola:
It doesn't work that way, people are already dropping reason it won't work which is very valid
This guy should rest and stop shoving some lame policies on us

Did u see anywhere I claimed whether it will work or not?

I only gave possible reason behind the introduction of the limit, I didn't give an opinion whether it will work or not.

Ibime:
My guy is on Twitter talking about he is worried that AI will replace human friendships and "emotional dependence on software". Na the same robotic mind he use talk that thing na him use put this 40 character limit

From now on, when any Chelsea players scores. I will type 40 CHARACTER LIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! instead of GOAL!

I think the 40 character limit is an attempt to crush the "space bookers" who would post an emoji or just a word to book space on promising topics,only for them to modify with Gba takes when the topic makes it to Front Page. Dem plenty like that for politics section. They would book space at the early stage of the thread and then modify to write tribal or insulting posts when the topic is on front page and visible to the whole world. Maybe it is his own way of cleansing the forum sha.

I guess he thinks anybody who want to drop a quality comment/opinion should be able to come up with at least 40 word character to express themselves

nihilistjnr:
LordAdam will come and say it's just a scratch, why didn't they bomb the bus stop and the roundabout near Ayatollahs house if e sure for Israel.

Na coping mechanism na 😂.

Even if Israel off the whole Iranian generals , dem go still “shame” Israel for not being strong enough to take out the Ayatollah along with the generals if they are as strong as they claim to be

Ballzproblem2:
The entire western leaders may fake concerns by morning but they thankful secretly, Israel has more balls than all the countries combine.

As for Hamas and Palestinians better start to wrap up lol.

Two state out of window no thanks to sinwar rat.

Next biblical prophecy,gog and Magog ,will elaborate further.

Try Dey give us update on who and who has dropped dead in the Iranian military .

Post links of confirmed hits Israel has carried out and confirmed list of Iranian generals that have dropped dead thus far .

Ibime:
Allow me enjoy your goof in peace.

You have been defying my theory about art students with your brilliant posts, but I knew one day breeze would blow and foul nyash will open and today is that day.

Away from the jokes, there's some explanations to be done as to how the guy actually survived.

The video of the crash I saw on the internet, there was just some few seconds between when the plane went down and when there was a big explosion. Are we to believe the moment the plane crashed, the guy had the presence of mind to escape through the emergency doors and walked out of the crash scene before the plane exploded?

In the bide of the survivor walking I saw, the guy was holding his smartphone. I mean this guy jumped or walked off a plane crash scene and he had his phone intact on his hands? 😲

I believe in a matter of days' time, we will get a clearer gist of what actually happened and how the guy was able to survive.

Amigoss:
Lool I saw this as I wanted to post when I'm lost in thought, sometimes I think there is somebody out there in the middle of no where,in a rain forest or deserts that can't reconnect to the outside world...

Ibime no wan agree say there are somethings that defy logic,human reasoning and Newton's law

Leave him, let him be fighting imaginary war of Science vs Non science student in his head.

Ibime:
You just showed your MassCom credentials

Who jumps out of a vehicle moving at close to 300km/hr and won't get obliterated by his forward momentum

He jumped out after the plane had crash and come to a stop

I am seeing many MassCom students misconstruing that statement as him jumping from a moving plane that close to ground. Simple Newtons first law will stop them from making such a goof

Try jumping down from bus moving at just 30kmhr let me see whether you won't snap your ACL and chop asphalt and most likely die

The plane crashed in seconds, he didn't have time for all that, besides you can't just open plan door like that

I saw a video of the plane crashing and bursting into flames.

I don't know at what point he jumped off, but I'm saying whatever time he jumped off he was extremely lucky because he could've tried to jump fall awkwardly.

All those megefege wey u cap up there about Newton law and momentum, e concern u and Ur god Fenibeso. 😏

Amigoss:
Looking at all this variables,no be baba time at all....

I swear,This is one thing about Nigerian churches,so insensitive....The other day, Adeboye was bragging about redeemites having special grace,that the gas fire incident that happened at otedola bridge which burnt cars ,houses but their church in the midst of them all was not touched...

Nothing concern most naija men of God about being sensitive to other people's plight.

I watched the video of the CAC general overseer and he spoke truth to power about insensitivity on the path of most naija Christians.

He said it is totally insensitive for you as a Christian to be praying thanking God and u say " we thank God for good health ; many are the in the hospital but we thank God we are not in the hospital ". He said can't u just thank God and move on without referring to those in the hospital in that manner? He said the funny thing is that Ur church service may be streamed online and someone on hospital bed will be watching that particular clip where u were making such Insensitive Thanksgiving prayer. So should the person feel bad and ungrateful to God for being bedridden?

TemporaryHansel:
Nigerian Twitter is a sewer.
A swirling pit of negativity, bitterness, and trauma bonding. Most users there aren’t just online, they’re emotionally damaged.
Pair it with Black American Twitter and you’ve got the perfect cocktail of dysfunction.
Two digital neighborhoods where healing goes to die and toxicity gets a standing ovation.

As in..... It's not a place one can spend most of the time online, if not u will just find urself fully involved in the whole bitterness going on there.

I've cut down all my followed thread on nairaland down to only this thread , in fact, I don't even read front page news 🗞️ at all..

[b]I've tried many times to leave but I keep coming back.. [/b]I think it's only this thread that has made me not leave nairaland..

Elon musk X is where I gallant like Gallas now

It's the same for most people too. Even people who deactivate still come back to be reading as guest or register new account.

If u think it's a lie, ask elder

Naija dey learn for where USA dey when it comes to politics

Democracy Una

So because of democracy they should allow him break protocol? 🤷‍♂️

In some countries if u rush the podium like that, the security officers will slam dunk him or take him out completely with extreme force.

Amigoss:
That lone survivor cheated death,he jump from plane ....

The guy was probably at alert ; he quickly found out the plane was faulty and decided to take a risk of using the emergency exit door.

He must have been paying attention when the air hostess give safety talks before the plane took off about how to locate the emergency exit doors and all.

Above all, he was extremely lucky to be alive because what if he had jumped and he landed awkwardly? Maybe he smashed his head while jumping off the plane or breaks most of the bones in his body?

If na naija, if the guy decides to open a church and claim he's the chosen one; people will full his church.

CAPdan21:
Na since last month people dey announce say dem go leave forum for se.un, but men still mount here....Be like jazz

It's because there's actually no close substitute/alternative available.

If one leaves nairaland and permanently relocate to Twitter, u won't know when u will be drawn into the negativity on naija Twitter. So much bickering and bad blood over there worse than what is even obtainable on nairaland.

Pocket watchers

If you like make your money and use am to buy OS car, Na you know

I detest pocket watchers so bad. They always have an opinion about what U should do about Ur own money instead of focusing on making their own money and spend it however they so please

What's this new rubbish trend of telling people what to do with their money sef? 🤷‍♂️

I mean money they earned through sheer hard work o, and one person will.just put on ring light be telling them what they should and should not do with their money.

I like how this person in the second screenshot called out the yeye hypocrisy of this Very darkman

Realmrsean:
lol, so you sef fall for the propaganda

1 million russian deaths, which data them use get the number?

If Russia has 1 million death that means Ukraine must've had around 10-20 million deaths taking into cognisance of the recently exchange ratio of the dead soldiers.

The dead ratio of russian to Ukraine is around 20:1..

Recently Russia gave Ukraine 1667 bodies while Ukraine gave around 62.. with almost 5k+ still remaining to be claimed

If no be for musk, where we for dey fact check all these mainstream propaganda machines?

Reason I say God bless Elon musk and Vladimir Putin

You are missing the point.

I don't know if the 1 million figure is right or wrong because I don't follow the news on the Russia-Ujraine war for a long time now. But what I'm saying is that u cannot use the second screenshot talking about exchange of bodies to disprove the first screenshot because they are talking about two different things.

In fact, if u check through the second screenshot u will see that they put a caveat that the figures relating to exchange of bodies are not the total casualty figures. It simply means there are other people that must have died but their bodies are not accounted for in the exchange of bodies exercise

GloriousGbola:
take away multiple monikers and abandoned ids and it may not be up to 500k users

tik tok dem are not really the same imho. they are more for entertainment than actual deep discussions. unfortunately people are being primed towards the idea that you can actually use them as a source of coherent information

i regularly go to youtube for tutorial content.

i am not sure you can find that on tikok or instagam. best i can do with instagram is lok for sellers of some itemss

The funny thing is that the closest to YouTube amongst all the social media platform is TikTok. You get to see tutorial contents too on TikTok if u know where to look.

seankafor:
Why do the west lie so much? Does it make them sleep good at night?

The screenshots u attached are talking about Teo different things na.

The first screenshot claims 1 million Russians have died since the start of the war.

The second screenshot is talking about exchange of bodies.

I hope u know it's not all the Russians that died within Ukraine territory that will have their bodies exchanged during the exchange of bodies? I mean people who were bombed to smithscreens definitely can have their bodies exchanged.

PS: I'm not saying the 1 million figures claimed in the first screenshot is correct or wrong O; I'm only pointing it out that u can't use the second screenshot to fault the first screenshot.

raumdeuter:
I think tiktok is focused on small 30secs entertainment, there is a limit of education or information you can do in 30secs

IG na just longer tiktok. How many times do you think they are debating indepth politics on Tiktok or IG?

Twitter yes they do

NL has been around for 20yrs but its mainly for Nigerians. Tiktok and IG forces you to open an account to even get a chance to view, that was what made many people like me even open accounts

NL you dont have to open an account yet get to consume the content

You will also agree that it takes some level of confidence to comment on some topics on NL. I know many people who read NL but do not comment because they cant keep up with gbasgbos or have deep knowledge of the topic

Its also easier to relate to the cheesy light hearted content of Tiktok an IG vs debating Tinubus budget

The bold shows u don't use TikTok nor do u know much about how it works.

TikTok has since moved beyond this ; in fact the number of educational contents on TikTok cannot be matched with what U have in Facebook and IG combined.

There are different niche of contents on TikTok ; from tech TikTok to sports, to educational and even politics. The age of 30 seconds TikTok videos is in the long past.

For example, u can get all the information u need about a woman's pregnancy from implantation to delivery on TikTok. They will keep pushing contents upon contents posted by medical practitioners who are content creators on the app to your FYP the moment u make a search relating to pregnancy.

Same thing u can have educating contents focused on programming, tech skills, etc appearing on Ur FYP consistently just because u show interest in searching something related to it.
