DomPerignon:
Trump's son in-law , Jared Krushner is the one behind this rubbish.

Krushner is the one who wants to buy up 20% of FIFA but thank God that UEFA is against it and has vowed to ensure the deal doesn't go through


But what does this olodo NFF chairman know about the deal that he thinks his opinion is relevant ?

An irrelevant minion of not-so-relevant institution can never have any relevant opinion.

Best time to negotiate an end to this bloody war was two years ago but Boris Johnson convinced Zelensky enough that Ukraine should fight on. Now Russia has enforced a strict blockade of Odessa, no ship/vessels goes in or out of Odessa, essentially making Ukraine a landlocked country but of course Western media are saying Ukraine is winning, all while the sky in Kiev is fair game for Russia's ballistic missiles.

He got that one right.

Tough basta#$. I love them. Even Trump can't hide his admiration for them.



Sometimes you make people respect you not by being soft and mushy. Be soft and get molded into whatever shape every one but yourself wants.

Not sometimes, all the time. That's how the world works - the rich prey on the poor, the strong use their claws and paws to suppress the weak.


If you're not having problems as a country, that means you either have a strong militarily or you're being spit-roasted by the ones who do.

KingOfAmebo:
After eating humble pie...

Trump thought Iran is Venezuela, he didn't check Google map see how big the Iran is in relative to tiny Israel...

Iran is showing strength never seen before.

Meanwhile, The Strait of Hormuz was never under Iranian control and was wide open before America started the senseless war, America thought she could just invade countries at will and get away with it but the Iranians became a bone in their throat that is hard for the Americans to swallow...

America fooooolishly handed over the control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, something Iran never thought would be a very big leverage and could create a global economic meltdown....

Intel has it that Iran is now planning to use the underwater Internet cables underneath the Strait of Hormuz as another very big leverage, that cables serves 95% of global Internet connections...

The Americans are focused on preventing Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon but fooooolishly handed them the Strait of Hormuz that is far more powerful and globally devastating than any Nuclear weapon...no be juju be that?...

No US President was fooooolish enough to start a war with Iran knowing what the consequences would be until Dummmbb Trump showed up...

America didn't "hand over" the control of Strait of Hormuz to Iran. Both Oman and Iran each have sovereignty over their respective territorial waters within the strait. Iran has always had significant influence over the strait because of its geography and from its military capabilities over the strait, not from any handover by the United States.

And oh, Iran certainly knows they have significant leverage over the strait of Hormuz in case of any war. They've always known, dating back decades even.

You met your match in Iran I guess? There's a reason why past US presidents were never stupid enough to even incubate the idea of going to war with Iran. Iran can NEVER be defeated by launching missiles at them without ground invasion and because nature favoured them with mountains, US ground invasion of Iran which is bigger than France, Germany, the UK, and Spain combined - is virtually impossible and will literally be death sentence for American soldiers. Needless to even mention that the entire US military will have to be involved - The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, special Ops like SEAL maybe, and will require 500,000 to a million personnel at the very least. Only a very few - if any, of the ground troops will make it out alive. It will essentially be Vietnam war 2.0, only that the it will be more brutal than Vietnam. That's a huge political, economic and military personnel cost that USA cannot afford unless they haven't learn their lessons.

In other words, since Trump kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela like a petty thief - and literally stealing their oil, who has heard "We're fighting narco terrorist" narrative from him again? Since he's losing in Iran, who has heard "We must free Iranian citizens from their terrorist government" narrative again? Importantly, hope "Nigerian christians" are now learning how imperial powers use certain narratives as Casus belli or smoke screen to justify invasions and incursions, in order to advance their own strategic objectives? Imperial powers are not benevolent charities - they don't give a flying duck (with colourful wings) about you.

Side note - Talking about narratives, there are even narratives that circulates in Nigerian media that smells of EU/UK/US propaganda but Nigerians will fight over these narratives without even knowing that bigger powers are behind the scene pulling the strings. They own the media you consume - their legacy media like BBC, Sky News CNN etc and your local Nigerian media too (Yes those too have been bought because they receive fundings from UK, EU and USA). That's how you get controlled and you end up having a lopsided worldview and reality. You'd even go against your own interest.

Geopolitics 101

There's no military solution to this war, but USA is too big and arrogant to bend to Iran's demand.

USA hasn't figured out the fact that you can win a battle but lose the war.

Not the first, won't be the last. AI will eventually turn humans to lazy zombzs. Pakistani Newspaper last year, fumbled with AI too without even proofreading.

Saudi Arabia is not "getting dragged into a war it has tried desperately to avoid". Saudi Arabia is complicit and they must collect, they are actually collecting - the Houthis have opened their case file.

Fools indeed grow old.

2 drones equivalence would cost way less and would be a lot more efficient for the intended use but hey what do I know.

A non venomous garter snake is an "agent of the devil" now? Ignorance + Religion is one bad combo.

Nigeria is a construct of the Europeans but that doesn't define me. My ethnicity - heritage, culture and tradition is my core essence and defines who I am no matter where I find myself in the world. But then you have someone like Mr P. aka Mr. Dindinrin who thinks otherwise. I've said it countless of times that a lot of Nigerians are lost, they don't even know their core essence or who they are. Everything is foreign - foreign names, foreign language, foreign religion etc. Political and economic system is even foreign but at least that's not the fault of the average Nigerian.

Emmanuel Macron should give Mr. Dindinrin a villa in Paris. In other words, someone should please donate a French name for him, pass the name round to his family who align with his train of thought. Onye ara oshi.

Africa is filled with talents of course - We have Peller.

Like Nigeria like DRC. God who do Africa this thing.

Because you are used to seeing them on horses and carriages doesn’t mean UK does not wield top military asset with stockpile of Nuclear weapons.

UK is not a country you wanna toy with….. Because they are not active in warfare in recent times doesn’t make them a sissy

Haha Ok

BornofGod108:
Britain is ready to defend itself against Iranian missile attacks, the Government has said, after Tehran threatened to strike a Royal Air Force base used by US forces.

🔗: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/23/iran-threatens-to-attack-raf-fairford/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_fb_photo_threatens-to-attack-raf-fairford/

Britain is ready to defend itself? With what?

The only thing ceasefire will achieve is the opportunity for America to breathe and restock their dwindling stockpile. They will have even more problems especially if the US Congress doesn't approve almost $70 Billion that Pete Hegseth is asking for. USA should stop this illegal war and go home - they already lost the moment they fired the first missile.

What kind of work did a British school master do for SEVERAL YEARS with a brewery in Nigeria

The question no one (well, except you) is asking. Says a lot about the psyche of the average Nigerian

United Nation has become useless in my opinion. What is even more useless is the "Board of Peace" that Trump is attempting to replace the United Nations with.

Macmoni:
All these old people don’t know that their time has passed now, we listen to new stuff brand new kind of things and it’s bursting on speakers all round the world lagbaja or fella their sound can never make sense to these generation there is nothing they sing that these current generation hasn’t modernized more than them give credits sincerely instead of trying to compare or contrast if I was in your generation then I’m not sure is here any of those men music even though it sounds incredible I don’t like their gene it’s simple and I’m sure during your time there were elderly people that criticized fella and his kinds Sunny Ade sang better than fella to me same with Ebenizer obe and others even osadebe so damn it

I guess you have a valid point. But where I disagree is your comment in quote "There is nothing they sing that these current generation hasn’t modernized". I believe "modernized" is doing some heavy lifting here. Generations come and go, and music as an art will certainly reflect the technological (in terms of music production) and social (in terms of target audience) trend of the particular era. It doesn't mean they have "modernised" what their predecessor has done. You can't "modernise" live instrumentation, percussion ensembles and organic room acoustics. Those are different to programmed drums, synths and vocal processing that you hear in afrobeats nowadays. If you mean "modernized" by style of music, then I can partly agree that current style to some degree, reflects the style of previous generations but not necessarily the actual body of work.

Again, I'm only drawing comparisons, not demeaning the talent that the likes of Asake, Wizkid, Burna Boy obviously has, I made that point known earlier. I archive their albums and go to their shows. Heck I travel to see Wizkid, Burna, Asake etc perform. Even travelled to Dublin to see Burna Boy perform in 2022. I only by an unfortunate situation, missed out on Asake's Red Bull Orchestral performance in New York (November 2025).

Side note: Growing up, my pops was always blaring out Sunny Ade, Osadebe, Ebenezer Obey etc and thought at the time that those music were garbage. I appreciate those work a lot more now that I'm older. I'm not sure if the next generation would be able to say the same thing about the majority of Afrobeats music of this generation (Quantity over quality). My ultimate argument (or at least most of it) is, music back then has a lot more meaning than most music of nowadays. I guess we appreciate music differently.

I disagree with this too "All these old people don’t know that their time has passed now" You don't know me - I'm not even 40 - well, unless you're 15 then you can call me a dinosaur. I just enjoy music of those era, it's the same as how I deeply enjoy the projects of the likes of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davies, 2 Pac etc. It doesn't mean I don't blare out Drake, Kendrick Lamar etc, at any given opportunity.

You get it cool cat?

LagbajaTheBEREAN:
We are together in this, man.

And if we should look at it very well, most of the rhymes seem forced or themes are always built on vibes and inshallah.

This right here "most of the rhymes seem forced or themes are always built on vibes and inshallah" is bang on point. Seems pretty much like the artists are mostly chasing short, trendy, danceable beat for the moment. Quantity over quality

Obongjayar, 2 Baba, Brymo, Asa and a scanty others - in single digit, are probably the only artists that stands out for me. I can objectively say that good music in Nigeria started dying from 2010 onward. I still listen to the projects of Lagbaja, Sunny Okosun, King Sunny Ade, Oliver De Coque and a very few others (I archive them in my music library by the way) some from even before I was born and or when I was only a primary school kid and I'd say to myself "Wow that's an incredible project piece with incredible audio mastering". Can't say most afrobeats of nowadays will ever hold such legendary value.

Clean visuals but I'd like to see the style of Lagbaja, Fela etc make a re-entry into Nigeria's music scene. Most afrobeats projects nowadays has revolved around rhymes that at best, appears disjointed when you attempt to follow the message and lyrics. Not taking anything away from Asake's unique and incredible talent.

erniok:
Link to the beheading because AI says you are a liar when I fact checked your claim.

So your fact-checking process is: ask an AI, get the answer you wanted, skip checking any sources, and call people liars?

Imagine outsourcing your entire personality to an AI and then calling me a liar. 😂 AI isn’t a witness, mate. If it’s so confident, ask it to cite the source instead of using it as your solicitor. Did 'AI' tell you that he was formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani during his Jihadi days?

U is #slow.... very #slooowww.

Baxilexi:
The Syrian president has agreed to act like a sane person. Let’s be objective. If the IRGC jettisons its pro-Islamic revolutionary agenda and embrace mutual cooperation with western countries it will be accepted.
The aim is to globalize western civilization and not absolve anyone of their sins.

Listen to yourself - The Syrian president has agreed to act like a sane person. He's not any different to a "Repentant Boko Haram". You guys deserve what you get in Nigeria. Maybe one day, a repentant Boko Haram will be your president.

And what exactly are these IRGC's "pro-Islamic revolutionary agenda"? Is globalising Western agenda by force?

I don't know what people do with their brain these days.

UK supports Ahmed al-Sharaa - a full blown terrorist who beheaded people live on camera and held their head in his hand with blood dripping. Same Ahmed al-Sharaa is nowadays attending meeting with the Prime Minister of the UK and the President of USA.

UK then went on to declare a ruling government of a functioning country a terrorist, but the atrocities committed in Nigeria by their "associates" is absolutely fine. Ok now.

Righteousness2:
You don't Negotiste with Terrorists who sole desire is your Destruction, You Destroy them and all their Capabilities.

It's unfortunate that the US led President Trump fell for the gimmicks of the Iranian Terrorists.
He would have Listened to ISRAEL. All these would hv been long gone.
Now he has go over again and again

The Iranian Terror Leadership are in Deep Excruciating Pains. They have been Deeply and Painful Destroyed.
So much of their fathers , leaders, commanders were destroyed like chickens.

What forced them to screaming for peace negotiations is the Destructions Inflicted. What will make them submit Totally is FATAL DESTRUCTION.

President Trump Listen to PM Netanyahu and ISRAEL else he will keep going in Circles

The Middleeast is not a place where you do Gentleman.
The Language Terrorists understand is the Language ISRAEL Speaks .

You don't get Real peace from signing paper,
It's From War, that you get PEACE.
The Enemies Submits only when it's Totally Crushed.

"Terrorists" That's funny. We know who the real terrorists are and it's certainly not Iran

louqas:
Western Puppet
What is Trump doing that's different
Dude even compared himself to Jesus are you not aware?
Wake up nigga, western propaganda don mess your brain up, try dey go through other news sources to get different sides of stories
Westerners media censor has been removed by social media and citizens journalism.

If them tell you now say The USA has a hand in Boko Haram you will deny even though evidence exist online how US senators found out USAID was supporting BH

I don't blame most of these people. The likes of CNN, BBC, etc are their main source of truth, then the entire media house in Nigeria has been compromised by the same Western media moguls. Then again, a lot of fellow country people don't think critically enough to discern what is propaganda and what is not - they take everything they read or hear on CNN, BBC, Sky News etc as the absolute truth without asking "What's the underlying agenda behind this news/report/article".

French media company recently completed the acquisition of Multichoice/DStv. A lot of my country people won't understand or ask why. We're very docile and passive as a people, we take everything thrown at us without resistance.

HacheNoire:
Religion is not banned in China and just a private practice.

There are Christians, Muslims and Hindu’s in China. You have a right to your beliefs but should be registered, not affiliated to foreign body’s and not indoctrinating kids under 18.

That’s what set them for greatness. Regulated religious practice. If they had our own religious freedom and mindset, no way they would be where they are.

They probably will be waiting for miracles to happen while critical thinking diminishes.

Look at Nigeria today, we pray against cancer, malaria, and even pray on engines so they won’t get faulty.

Yet, we can’t pray for our refinery to work. But China does not have such orientation. They are goal getters. People who believe they decide and dictate their own future.

Thank you!

Chinese Christians Are Disappearing For Refusing To Worship President Xi? What sort of reporting is this slop? President Xi is not asking to be worshipped, he's asking that Chinese indigenous religion must not be replaced by christianity and the Chinese government must have an oversight of religious bodies in the country - which is very fair. There are churches in China. Any church in China facing crackdown from the government are churches that are unwilling to comply with the stated law.

Rwanda president adopted something similar. Closing down more than 4000 churches and putting a cap on the amount of churches in Rwanda and any 'pastor' wishing to have a church in Rwanda must:

1. Have an accredited theology degree
2. Soundproof their church
3. Submit audits of church donations which must go through registered bank accounts.
4. Submit annual action plans that demonstrate their alignment with national values.

Unlike in Nigeria where any Dopemu, his mum and his dog can establish a 'church' without any governmental oversight, causing absolute nuisance to the society.

Xi Jinping knows that the West use churches to softly infiltrate a country which will ultimately become a big social, governmental and political problem later.

Look at Nigeria, look at Africa as a whole.
