The question is if you are Israel facing the attacks from Irans proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis daily What will you do?

I personally wouldn't be Israel, inviting westerners to come and help steal land off Palestinians, because I am certain those I steal land from will never go away even many generations later, and will remain a thorn in my flesh forever unless I completely annihilate them, which I can't do because that would be so swastik.

We liberals need to give credit to dump for reducing food prices, which will reduce inflation and make aga.

If Lagos is expected to be hit by a nuclear bomb tomorrow, e go shock you say the entire city go empty by midnight and neighbouring states like Ogun and Oyo will become overpopulated.

And after the bombs have dropped we'd find the bombers don't know Lagos is not Ogun and Oyo.

What angers Iranians is that the regime has squandered money supporting anti-Israel proxy forces such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, rather than spending more at home. Police were arresting women for not wearing headscarves even as Mossad agents were smuggling in the drones that killed top military leaders Friday. “While the ideologues were securing the windows, they left the front door wide open,” argued Ben Taleblu, expressing an opinion he said is being voiced widely in Tehran after Israel’s attack.

The right approach in thinking about regime change, argued Sadjadpour, is to encourage patriotic nationalism, without the mullahs. “What should come next is a group of leaders whose organizing principle is not Islamic revolution but national interest,” he told me. “Instead of ‘Death to America,’ the slogan should be ‘Long Live Iran.’”

Some Iranians want regime change, and have been fighting years for it. I just wish they won it themselves instead of Israel delivered, which I doubt most would quite appreciate in the end.

“I know that war won’t bring democracy,” she told me. She was active in the Women, Life, Freedom movement against compulsory veiling in 2022–23, and she told me that Netanyahu is no champion of the movement’s values. “The life that we wanted is the mirror opposite of the terrible events that are now happening,” she said. But the war hadn’t endeared Iran’s leadership to her, either—she blames its aggressive policies for the country’s predicament.

9.8 million people live in the city of Tehran as of 2025, and 16.8 million in the metropolitan of 730 km².

I checked. Its like telling Lagosians to evacuate.

Don't get me wrong brother. When I say it's not easy, I'm not talking about the physical aspect of the job itself. Of course no work is easy. What I meant was the pay.

Clean toilet in UK can be early morning. You start off at 4am to get the last night bus to go clean toilets 5am to 8am, then you go off to college or uni.

Uni finishes 3pm, you get some sleep, wake up by 6 to go clean toilets or be the attendant in a pub till it closes at 11pm, then you off to do the same in a club till 3am, except the person who hired you knows you don't have a work permit, so tells you the club work is tips only, after his 25% cut.

Do I mean the pay, and the effect on your mental health and your body that you can barely afford to feed and let sleep?

Trust me. It's very very hard. And compared to what I've described above, many japanians will shudder still, as it's nowhere as bad for most who come legally these days. But life, generally is hard, though we Nigerians don't seem to have figured out it is yet, or we'd be doing that work making Nigeria great instead of japaing to make great abroad.

CoronaVirusPro:
The cause of the race is for living. Compared to Nigeria where you can achieve yo certain extent and will maintain status quo irrespective of what happens, it’s the opposite in western world. Taxes will continue to hit you, and when you default, those things you own you will start losing. It a system that entails you to keep earning or you will lose it all. Have you heard of foreclosures and liens?

I think you completely disregard inflation in Nigeria, which is much worse than tax, and in the long run would make all "you can achieve to an extent" insufficient at maintaining any status quo, but reason for responding is to say your description is not everyone's, and many have different realities. Basically, some succeed while some fail, aboard and in Nigeria or anywhere.

The cause of the race is not for living, least not where I live, and anyone who thinks it is is bound to fail, I'd think. Here we want your brain to help develop our nation so we can stand up to the likes of Trump and EU and Japan, and would therefore hope you will realise that the cause of the race is for you to learn so you help us rule the waves and you will live better in the long run. Okay, not you exactly, but your children whom you will send to our schools and whom we will educate properly to earn their daily bread and increase our gdp by using their brains.

I'm sorry about your personal experience, In fact I apologise, but I'm very certain you'd know lots of people abroad who have paid off their mortgage and educated their children and are not just maintaining their status quo but are enjoying their lifes too. In UK you get taxed according to your earnings, and you can't be taxed more than you are willing to put up with, because you yourself will get off your ass and go vote someone who offers to tax you less. It's the same in the whole of Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China and many other similar places, I'd bet. And we do have to tax you, don't we? Or how else do you expect the streets to be clean, and the police to stop crime, and an ambulance or fire brigade turn up when when you need one and not make you pay for educating your children so they are useful?

We japa to countries that realise that the Wealth of the Nation is derived from the annual produce of its land and labor, not from the accumulation of gold or the profits of merchants. You are the labour part. Brains are required.

joshuaidibia:
My brother, I put it to you that cleaning toilets abroad is not easy. In fact, you will need more than 3 jobs if you want to be cleaning toilets. Hunger and frustration will break you, you'll run back to Nigeria. Don't let them deceive you o. You can't survive by cleaning toilets only.

Definitely, cleaning toilets abroad is not easy! It's toilet cleaning for Christ's sake, why should that be easy? And it definitely don't even pay much, just about enough for daily bread and shelter, if you asked me and if you eat small, and your boss will constantly be on your case, sometimes making you clean the same toilet like 5 times because, according to them, you did not clean it to their standard.

Slavery, I'd call it, except instead of paying the pittance of a chain round the neck and a whipping on your ass they give you a few pounds or dollars they know their own people would never accept. But who in their right mind travels abroad and intends to survive on toilet cleaning? Most japas do it for the first few weeks or months on arrival and until they find something better, while they school on improving themselves so they can dump toilet cleaning and get much better jobs as I already informed SoliBayNG.

budaatum:
We see Naijas working toilet in clubs where I live. And yes it can be dehumanising, So dehumanising that I can't help talking to them.

Pay is usually tips only, they tell me, but the advantage is its night work so they can go do early morning cleaning and be at university for 9, where they are learning to better their life.

Only a few Nigerians who are lazy or have made tons of money or have the opportunity to do so in Nigeria reverse immigrate from UK.

If you can not put up with the hardship of "3 jobs", please stay in Nigeria. Because anyone will tell you your first few months in England at least, will be like moving to hell as a slave, but with some use of the sweat of thy brow and the educating of your brain, not only will you eventually eat, you will feed family back home too who will be begging you for bread daily.

I say "toilet cleaning", and I include all those other hard jobs that Nigerians come to UK to initially do while they find their feet. Note.

After popular demand, "the ayes have it", not.

Sounds to me like PETROAN do not want their own monopoly challenged.

danvon:
The governor of Benue state who is not Fulani isnt saying anything.

Nigerian army has a large number of soldiers from Benue yet those soldiers aren't complaining.

The problem is most Fulani herdsmen are illiterates and they don't have technology so we only see the other side story.

But recently lots of cattles just mysteriously died and the problem is that those cows usually don't belong to them.

The governor of Benue state is alleged to have said something. See image below.

Soldiers don't usually state their own opinions much less complain. As is sung:

Zombie no go go, unless you tell am to go (Zombie)
Zombie no go stop, unless you tell am to stop (Zombie)
Zombie no go turn, unless you tell am to turn (Zombie)
Zombie no go think, unless you tell am to think (Zombie)
Tell am to go straight
A joro, jara, joro
No break, no job, no sense
A joro, jara, joro
Tell am to go kill
A joro, jara, joro
No break, no job, no sense
A joro, jara, joro
Tell am to go quench
A joro, jara, joro
No break, no job, no sense
A joro, jara, joro

Those two points alone hopefully show I definitely do not know what you claim to know, but that might simply be because I am not "everybody".

danvon:
The question is, what did the Benue people do?

Fulanis didnt just wake up and start fighting.

They confused Fulanis for Igbos but Fulanis will never be victims in this life.

Everybody knows Benue people are not innocent, that is why they are silent.

I guess I'm not "everybody".

Please enlighten me.

Mabuggi88:
But honestly she he has a point. If it's trivial matters the National Assembly will quickly converge for a seating because they will get money in doing so. See Rivers state case for instance, Tinubu had hardly pronounce the state of emergency in Rivers than the NA quickly move and converge only to say the ayes have it because they know the president will drop some boxes. Of course that is what that one is known for, bribery

You make me want to go find a video I once posted where the ayes did definitely not have it, but Akpabio said the ayes had it.

My current crime is however, having better things to do at the moment, so, if anyone can oblige, it deserves to be here.

*Edit after demand.

Fearurcreeator:
So na like this you dey do when you dey Nigeria with your kinsmen, eeyah sorry

I don't know what to say to you, and looking at your post history shows I needn't bother.

Fearurcreeator:
Lolzzzz! Dont tell me you are a graduate ooo

Flexymarketing:
Anyone can get any country’s passport and claim they are from that country.

Really? You wanna show us how please?

I'm asking because if anyone can as you claim, forget visa, I want one.

NjaFoodie:
Why do I need to lie? & give me a VALID reason why you need proof I’m not from this continent and I’ll snap a corner of my passport. Must be a valid reason not just being extra nosy.

And why would you "snap a corner of my passport" to prove anything to anyone when most here know there's lots of people who do romance fraud scams, so have no reason to doubt you?

Do let me know when his ass gets deported so I can be glad for you please.

A spambot and 40 characters are making us be creative it seems.

swagifted:
People like you are never positioning to be innovators .. Always positioning to be workers... Cleaning toilets... See what you have reduced yourself to. Its a shame... Why don't you admire high level jobs too in the abroad.. Jobs that require you to have critical thinking skills... You don't... Cause you are a worker... And can never be na innovator..... .

First read my response to SoliBayNG above.

Now read this thread, and tell me what your brain comes up with please.

I'm very curious.

SoliBayNG:
I don't think you've ever lived abroad. Maybe you don't know what certain jobs and conditions do to your psyche. You think those aren't dehumanising there? Humor me. Caucasians haven't done poop to you and you can't react. What many of you call "God's favour" here will land you in prison over there.

There's a reason some people are reverse immigrating. It's not for everyone. Money

First, you don't think. Second, you shouldn't think when you are better off doing some simple research, which might show you where I live. Hint, its where I was born too. If caucasians do poop to me, they'll end up in jail.

We see Naijas working toilet in clubs where I live. And yes it can be dehumanising, So dehumanising that I can't help talking to them.

Pay is usually tips only, they tell me, but the advantage is its night work so they can go do early morning cleaning and be at university for 9, where they are learning to better their life.

Only a few Nigerians who are lazy or have made tons of money or have the opportunity to do so in Nigeria reverse immigrate from UK.

Norris crashing into Piastri was an own goal.
Congrats to Mercedes

I watched waiting for him to crash, and crash he did.

I think he made himself number 2 driver.

basilico:
Are you not the same people who call Alex Jones a conspiracy theorist. In actual fact he is , I don't believe anything he says unless I confirm elsewhere. But he does get proven correct eventually in quite a number of cases.

And yet, just about everything you do say here is said by him first.

I used to watch him just to know what crappy lie you'd come up with next, and you often don't disappoint.

Loved the division in the comments of the above, and will bookmark Infowars for the future.

Iran's Defense Minister:
We've Tested a Missile with 2-Ton Warhead

"If conflict is imposed on us, the enemy will undoubtedly suffer heavier losses—forcing the U.S. to withdraw from the region.

I think it is you who does not understand what you are saying, but I don't expect us to agree.

nateevs:
You are a liar. Show where Iran showed their readiness to strike Israel. You have been lying post after post.

He knows he's lying. Note he said "if attacked", which Iran hadn't yet done before Israel struck.

bemeruca:
prior to the attack, Iran showed their readiness to strike at Israel, claiming they had missiles ready for use if attacked.

Dtruthspeaker:
Change of Post!
No one has seen Hammurabi, Socrates or Ovoranmwen yet you all believe he exist. As I said change of Post.

No one has ever seen Yahweh, so I guess you are proving it never existed.

Dtruthspeaker:
See how you talking rubbish. No one has seen at any time where a society let me pick a small place like Degema where the society came together to create anything. Not even the sculpture at the centre of the town. So you see, you talk rubbish

No one has seen Yahweh so Yahweh does not exist, or do you not see your diabolical unreasoning?

Has he finally understood how ignorant his call to prayer is after we all educated him that from the sweat of thy brow must you eat?

DiasGodinHeaven:
The Minister for Agriculture should be sacked for being incompetent. He is a disgrace

He really seriously is a disgrace, and an insult to us Nigerians.

I can't help think he's there because we put him there though.

oluayebenz:
Nawa for some of you o

You think been poor abroad is a joke?

You can at least go get a job cleaning toilets for minimum wage abroad.

In Naija, the options are the dehumanising beg or steal or ignorant prayer!
