Last year, It's the same strategy Israel used to weaken Hezbollah.

The commanders are valuable human resources that have trained and retrained for decades. They also have 8 years war experience during the Iraq vs Iran war.

It will be difficult for Gen Z to fill those gaps.

Money na water.
During December he will go and oppress youths that are doing legit business in the village, sharing bags of rice to deceive the gullible.

My worry is that just like the late Gadaffi, Ayatollah is the only one holding the current Iran together. If they kill him, the minorities/secessionists tribes in Iran will want to break out and form their own autonomous nation.
Iran might end up like Libya

Maybe that's the future Biafra president 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hahahaha 😂
Igbos will never allow Ebonyi to rule them

When Israel invaded Gaza after October 7th and Hezbollah started shooting missiles to Israel some people said the Israel Army is over stretched and can't fight Hezbollah because their stockpile of missile defense will get exhausted.

After defeating Hezbollah, some people said Israel can't fight Houthis because their fight with Hezbollah exhausted their missile defense.

Now they fighting Iran we are now hearing another propaganda

Congratulations Wike the Mr Project.
Your quality projects in Abuja speaks for itself.

Even the LP FCT Senator, Ireti Kingibe has openly commented your great works in the FCT.

Karlman:
Iran is dying but Ayatolla is on twitter making mouth.

You noticed too. That was how Nasrallah was making mouth while Hezbollah was been decimated till he died underground.
They are experts in propaganda

autoez:
Nigerians possess immense intelligence, yet they face financial challenges due to poor governance. There will come a time when Nigeria will rise to prominence on the global stage. Remember my words.

They said so in Yemen many years ago because of their military skills.

These same method didn't work for Katsina State, why is Sokoto State Governor adopting it.

CodeTemplarr:
Isnt that a tolled federal road? What is the toll fee being used for?

Exactly what I wanted to type. Those Chinko contractors are just ripping Nigerians with Substandard construction and the toll fee is very expensive.

They should not be adding Lagos to South West because it was a former Federal Capital and is benefiting from siting of headquarters of most companies including Banks, Insurance firms, Shell, Chevron, Total, Mobil, MTN, Airtel etc...

seunny4lif:
It wouldn’t make sense to you because you have been told what to believe.
People like you are the one that said Gadaffi was a terrorist because CNN/BBC told you

I have never said in any forum that the great Gadaffi was a terrorist.
The Arab spring uprising led to his removal.
Leaders of Egypt, Tunisia etc.. lost power because of the Arab Spring. Syria was helped by Russia but he still lost power at last.

Gadaffi should have seek for Asylum somewhere but instead he started calling his people rats and wanted to use Poison gas on them(these made NATO to intervene). Some of his loyal Generals and Air force officers even decamped to the side of the protesters.
Gadaffi was killed by the Libya rebels. The video is online.

seunny4lif:
Everything going right now shows that NK leader was right on the security path. He built nuclear weapons and nobody threatened his country again.

Iranian supreme leader is the caused of all the dead Iranian scientists and top military.

You negotiable with your enemies with some leverage, USA only respects power.

Your point doesn't make sense. NK does not go about sponsoring terror groups to de-stabilize other nations like Iran is doing.

Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis are well funded by Iranian regime to de-stabilize the Middle East and spread their version of Islam.

Israel has weaken Iran's ability to launch up to 1,000 missiles at the same time to confuse any missile defense system.

The Iranian regime did a lot of rehearsals on it but their equipment has been compromised by Mossad.

The weak Enugu Governor, Peter Mbah wil try to cover it up.

I don't know the kind of agreement these Governors signed with the Fulani.
May God help us.

Nice to know they are building the roof to accommodate Solar Panels.
No more wasting money on expensive Diesel.
Going green is the best✅

Israel has been tracking the movement of Ayatollah since the war started

Nice one. It's good they didn't name it Mohammad Buhari airport because he had no input on that airport.

The Airport will benefit Cross River State people more.

Why can't the DSS plant spies in killer herdsmen and bandit camps

donmorano22:
Iran’s IRNA news agency reported that five car bombs were detonated in Tehran. The report blamed Israel for the attacks.

Two sources in the Gulf told Reuters that at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists had been killed in Israeli attacks since Friday, including by car bombs.

The names of nine of the scientists were published by the IDF on Sunday, and it said many of them were successors to Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the “father of the Iranian nuclear project,” who was allegedly assassinated by Israel in 2020.

The Israeli Air Force overnight bombed several Iranian ballistic missile launchers, along with air defense systems and radars, the military said, attaching footage of the strikes.

According to the IDF, some of the launchers that were struck were used to fire missiles at Israel overnight, in barrages that killed at least 10 people.

The IDF said it would continue to “hunt down” ballistic missile launchers in western Iran to prevent attacks on Israel.

Air defenses and radars were also struck “as part of the IDF’s aerial superiority in Iranian airspace,” the military said.



Additionally, some 80 targets in Tehran were hit overnight, according to the IDF.

The targets in the Iranian capital included fuel depots, the Iranian defense ministry headquarters, the “headquarters of the SPND nuclear project,” and other targets related to Iran’s nuclear program.

IAF fighter jets also hit gas infrastructure near Bandar Abbas. The military said the fuel and gas sites were used by Iran for military purposes and for its nuclear project.


On Saturday, jets attacked two fuel depots in Tehran, while Iranian media reported a “massive explosion” following an Israeli drone strike on the South Pars gas field.

The semi-official Tasnim news agency said production of 12 million cubic meters of gas was suspended following the South Pars attack, which resulted in a fire that the Iranian oil ministry said was later extinguished.

Oil fields — crucial to Iran’s economy — were not targeted in the first round of strikes, but a senior Israeli security official warned on Friday that if Iran were to target Israeli population centers with ballistic missiles — which it then did — Israel would target regime leaders and state infrastructure such as oil refineries.

In all, since early Friday, the IDF said it hit 720 separate assets in some 250 strikes in Iran.


Iranian media said Sunday that Israel attacked a facility affiliated with Iran’s defense ministry in the central city of Isfahan.

“One of the centers affiliated with the Ministry of Defense in Isfahan was attacked, and possible damages are under investigation,” ISNA news agency reported, quoting deputy provincial governor Akbar Salehi.

Iranian media also reported strikes on the Shiraz Electronics factory in the city of Shiraz, a company that produces radar and electronic equipment for the Iranian military, according to a US-based watchdog. According to CNN, the facility was destroyed.


Iran claimed Sunday it had arrested two individuals it accused of being members of the Mossad spy agency in Alborz province while they were preparing explosives and electronic devices, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

Israel and Iran trade threats
After the IDF warned Iranians to evacuate military facilities in Iran, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday the military “will strike the sites and continue to peel the skin off the Iranian snake in Tehran and everywhere, stripping it of nuclear capabilities and weapons systems.”

“The Iranian dictator is turning Tehran into Beirut and its residents into hostages for the sake of his regime’s survival,” he added.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that the attacks on Israel will only end once Israel halts its military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

“We are defending ourselves; our defense is entirely legitimate,” said Araghchi in a meeting with foreign diplomats, adding that “this defense is our response to aggression. If the aggression stops, naturally our responses will also stop.”

He said that the Israeli strikes on the offshore South Pars gas field Iran shares with Qatar were “a blatant aggression and a very dangerous act.”

“Dragging the conflict to the Persian Gulf is a strategic mistake, and it aims to drag the war beyond Iranian territory,” he said.

Conflict to take ‘weeks, not days,’ officials say
The conflict with Iran will take “weeks, not days,” according to American and Israeli officials quoted by CNN.

The officials said the operation has the White House’s implicit approval, with an Israeli official cited as saying the US president is on board with the weeks-long timeframe.

A US official was quoted as saying, “The Trump administration firmly believes this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US,” with the exact length of the conflict dependent on Iran’s actions.

Years of hostility between Israel and Iran exploded into open conflict early Friday morning when Israel launched a major offensive against Iran and its nuclear program, hitting nuclear sites, missile bases and top military officials.

Israel said it had no choice but to attack Iran, and that it had gathered intelligence showing that Tehran was approaching “the point of no return” in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Military officials said that the IDF was preparing for heavy fire from Iran, but asserted that “at the end of the operation, there will be no nuclear threat” from the Islamic Republic.

"And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them." Schmuel L. Jackson

Thanks for this comprehensive report. Even Russia will be shocked by the surgical precision of IDF strikes.

franchasng:
Could only happen in America the greatest country on earth



For those who don't know, 10% of Iranian people live outside Iran after the Islamic Jihadist Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei took over Iran's government and the former peace-loving Persian kings, their allies, officials and most Persian culture lovers who rejected the Islamic regime that took over Iran fled Iran to western countries ranging from USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc.


Israel and US need to help Iranians to free their country from war loving Islamic regime of Ali Khamenei to restore Iran to its former Persian glory where peace, freedom, economic progress and growth were the highest priorities in Iran.

You are right. The Mullahs turned the great Persian nation into sponsor of jihadists and terrorists. The Mullahs also plan to topple monarchy Government in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar etc... They claim monarchy Government is UnIslamic.

I hope they overthrow them one day.

erico2k2:
Pay offs?so what about if the coy was functional?won't they migrate to the new owners?

The Nigerian factor is always there.
When a new owner takes over an Establishment in Nigeria he will prefer to employ his tribesmen in majority and retrench the former staffs that was there especially management staff.

The new owner will also demand efficiency and productivity from staffs in the workplace and we all know Nigerian civil servants are lazy, love bribes and many don't like going to work regularly especially on Fridays.

The new owners might also not want to pay pensions as Government establishment does after years of service. So to avoid clashes in the future they need to retrench the current staffs or force them to sign new agreements.

When Abuja Electricity Distribution Company acquired NEPA(Abuja District), 100% of the staffs were paid off by Goodluck Jonathan this is what Obasanjo failed to do when he hurriedly sold the refinery

How Israel was able to take over Iranian air space for over 8 hours with 200 War Planes needs to be studied.

The strikes were precision and not just random waste of bombs.

Even Russia can't do that in Ukraine air space, they will be afraid of their prized jets been shot down

erico2k2:
This is lobish talk.workers can not stop the sale of an establishment's they have no share in..

Do your research.
PENGASON and NUPENG were the most feared trade union in Nigeria back then. They even fought with Abacha and Babangida. Whenever they go on strike fuel scarcity bites hard and even flights are cancelled.

Obasanjo couldn't even privatise NITEL properly due to labour union issues. Licenses were given to MTN GLO Econet to start afresh.

Trade Union don't need to have shares in an organization for them to stop the sale. You must discuss their pay off before disengaging them

Lifestone:
But you guys were happy when Yaradua canceled the sale of same refineries. Yaradua set Nigeria back for several years on that singular act

NNPC staffs and NUPENG members threatened to go on prolong strike if the sale was not reversed. Yar adua was scared of the effect of the strike on the economy that's why he reversed it.

Obasanjo sold the refinery in a hurry, last lap of his administration, he didn't settle labour and union issues before leaving power.

Goodluck Jonathan was able to sell NEPA with ease because the welfare of NEPA staffs were settled before it was Privatised.

olatade:
Iranian sources said the Iranian command structure has now been isolated into clusters of no more than two commanders, spread over different locations and communicating only by landline and carriers.


Copied from twitter

Hahaha

Over 200 Israeli War Planes in Iranian Skies for more than 6 hours is unbelievable.
The Iranian air defenses was completely destroyed by Israel

TempleHouse:
ISREAL will surely pay for this in kind.
IRAN has enriched enough Iranium to carry its warhead to strike Washington in a second.
America decided NOT to support Israel because Trump knows Iranian missile can wipe out a city in the US.
There would be FIRE RAIN in JERUSALEM tonight !!

Wake up son.
You play too much video games

Apcshit:
At the end of the day China won it

How?

Chinese goods coming to America will have 55% tariff on them(to avoid dumping) while goods from the U.S going to China will have 10% on them.

Cheap goods from China is killing many industries in many nations including Nigeria.

The number of quality projects executed by Wike in just 2 years in the FCT is record breaking.

The Governor of my State receive more revenue monthly than the FCT but he hasn't done up to half of the projects executed by Wike.

Igbos and faction
