Who cares wether you worship any deity or not?..who cares wether you carry any holy book or not?...you can be anything you want to be no one cares especially we christians, we have no business with what you believe in and we don't force anyone to follow our raith... again, you speak like you can be be anything without the west. If not for the west, you won't have the medium to speak on a forum like this thought an electronic gadget. You forefathers who worshipped a better go than the west could not develop anything of notable to help human kind and down to you , you are still dependant on the west for a meaningful life. You reject the God they introduced you to but accepted the technology the gave you. Why not depend or follow your ancestors way of life instead it is same west you see as trash that provided them the opportunity to express your hatred against them... mtcheewww

Technology is a global relay race of ideas, not a church where you must accept the religion of whoever built the last gadget. Using an electronic device doesn’t mean I must clap like a well-trained Seal for everything Western.

Since the West uses Arabic numerals, don’t you think they should all convert to Islam immediately? Since paper and gunpowder came from China, perhaps Washington should start taking instructions from Beijing too?

You must love your chain, is it gold? silver? brass or copper? Platinum perhaps?

A taste of your own medicine. Your air defence systems, intels and comms infrastructures has been decimated. Now Iran is relentlessly raining down missiles on you just as you did in Gaza. They're also surgically deleting your warmongering leadership one by one. What does that taste like? How does it feel?

Trump ordered the war. Is there a problem with the order?

Better wake up from slumber

A zombie asking me to wake up from slumber - that's funny. WAKE UP FROM DEAD!

Ever8090:
But if I may ask, why is it that in a world with 4000 religion, why is it that it is only Islam that is causing and attracting problem for everyone?...why?

There's extremism in both Islam and Christianity but Islamic terrorism in particular is a political label and it has its roots during the Afghan war circa 1980. USA supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union. The CIA called it Operation Cyclone, you can find out more on this if you like.

The Mujahideen were just patriots defending their homeland against the Soviet Union, they don't attack civilians, cause terror or promote global jihad. USA funded them, gave them weapons and ammunition and also paid them of course.

Osama Bin Ladin was one of the mujahideen, he broke away and adopted radical islamist ideology and formed Al Qaeda. ISIS later emerged from Al Qaeda and spread to sub Sahara Africa and called different names such as Boko Haram, ISWAP etc but they all pledge allegiance to ISIS. In Africa particularly, the people who joins these groups are largely poor and uneducated. They are being used for political and exploitative reason, not because Islam itself is a religion of terrorism.

If you'd like to know, America funded Boko Haram etc through USAID, it's a documented fact. When ISIS fighters are wounded in conflicts, they are transported to Israeli hospitals for treatment, this also is a documented fact. So maybe you have an idea about the possible suspects of terrorism in Nigeria. If there's no external or even internal political player funding these terrorists, they will have no financial or logistical means to carry out attacks.

So instead of attacking or demonising someone else's religion, the question Nigerians should be asking should really be - Who is sponsoring religious extremism and why? Otherwise, your kids will be on Nairaland in 20 years fighting religious wars online. It's already rife these days and that's exactly what they want, they want you divided across religious and tribal line. A nation divided is a nation defeated and vulnerable, and it's obviously working the way they want it. Islam is not the problem, the politicians and world powers sponsoring them is the REAL problem.

Oga Abdul, we take God name beg una,..make una allow people live in peace in this world that we will all die and leave behind, if anyone goes to Hell for not been an Abdul no one will blame you guys for it,..na una Allah name we take dey beg una,..pls and pls...

What's this one talking about? Who's Abdul? Who's stopping you from living in peace? Who's going to hell? Who the F is your Allah? I'm not a muslim, neither do I carry around that fable book called bible. I don't worship any Middle Eastern God. What's your comment got to do with my post?

Fuckyoumod:
he is a terrorist and not a Christian.

Maybe physically a Christian, but deep in his heart, he is a terrorist.

The Bible says that wisdom is profitable to direct. He died in vain!

And you know all this because you know him or because the bible said so? Was he wearing a suicide vest? Did he bomb kids studying in school? Did he oversee the ethnic cleansing of a group of people? I'm just trying to pick your brain maybe I'd be able to grasp why he's a "terrorist".

Typical American false flag, then they'll blame it on Iran or China. Who didn't see this coming? Of course there will be terrorist threats. No be America again?

Yankee101:
Pakistan is next
They depend on Iran for cheap smuggled fuel
Nigeria is supposed to get a windfall of revenue but if IBB stole it and Diezani stole it, what will Tinubu do?

I hope a generation arises to probe all the windfalls Nigeria ever got and how it was stolen

Pakistan "depends" on Iran for cheap smuggled fuel. There's more than one country that depends on Nigeria for smuggled fuel.

I thought Israel only murder muslim "terrorists"?

7th? They're not telling you the real numbers.

Israel got what they asked for

samesta:
What do you mean by attempt to destabilize Russia? Ukraine have the right to join any organization she desires.

If you'd like, I can recommend articles on NATO eastward expansion. Then we can talk about all the reasons why Ukraine particularly can never be a NATO member. But till then, riddle me this - How comfortable do you think America would be if China or Russia extended membership of a military pact to Mexico or Canada?

Axis313:

You really cracked me up with your "deputy Americans" as in Americans wannabe.
Too much Hollywood movies dey worry them.

Of course that's what they are. But they probably don't realise that America is one of the countries that is making their lives miserable.

Azazyel:
You watch too many action movies. It's time for you to rest son. The next supreme leader would be taken out once his name is known.

Time for your pops to rest.

NairaMaster1:
You even love Iran than Nigeria. I dare you to try travel to Iran, you won't come back alive. The Ayatollah will see you as a spy monkey and a suni infidel

Jog on. Don't stop

This is what respectable ally does. The West will give you aids and tell you to be grateful for it.

International laws? Trump has told you there's nothing like international laws, Canadian prime minister has also said international law is a charade. Welcome to 2026 Mr Martin Pfister.

Well, the US, UK, Germany, France etc openly supports Ukraine in the attempt to destabilise Russia

Cromagnon:
Is it America that threatens to wipe Iran from the face of the earth or Iran that says God sent them? Do you think before you talk? Name one useful thing out of Iran that the world uses?

Going by your logic, I should support America in their war of aggression because Iran doesn't produce a thing that the world uses? It never occurred to you that Iran is central to global economy? How are some people this dvmb?

I thought Iran is a terrorist infested country. How come they rank way above Nigeria? This can't be true 🙃

FreeStuffsNG:
He thinks ship owners and their sea crew are stupid suicidal people.

Thinks? The guy doesn't think.

Reloadedisraelp:
no dey are saint ....🙄

You have proof that they are terrorist? Or just the same old regurgitations from what you've been told by the West?

Only an unhinged head of state will issue out those utterance openly. This is what America and the entire West has been doing to weaker countries such as African nations for decades - imposing head of states that the citizen did not choose. You are being taught a lesson in Iran, your options are very limited. 

You either:

1. Retreat from Iran, which means Israel will be destroyed eventually
2. Deploy Israel and American troops and loose thousands and thousands of them or
3. Nuke Iran and face the global fall out.

You’re cornered Mr Trump.

That would be great

Reloadedisraelp:
what are u evening say the world should support terrorist or what?...if Ghana our neighbor here preaches how to wipe Nigeria from the map.., are we going to fold our hands and watch them achieve their goal?...

Easy on the propaganda. Iran is NOT a terrorist state.

Horus:
The IRGC have "complete control" of the strait of Hormuz and has threatened to send missiles to sink any ship attempting to pass

Oh you don't say

jflower06:
Yeah he did but also said 'when its reasonable to do so'.

When it's reasonable to do so? Ok.

Everyone will soon find out why roasted corn cost 5000 naira

I thought Trump said America will be escorting ships plying the strait of Hormuz. What happened to that plan?

FaAbData:
It's their cheering Trump that's causing this? So if they aren't cheering Trump this won't happen? How does their cheering or not cheering change anything.

No of course not, cheering doesn’t cause the war. The point is the irony, Nigerians supporting Israel and USA's aggression will still complain when they face more hardship worse than they are already facing due to global oil price spike, but weren't unable to connect the dots from the onset. It's the lack of awareness.

drstranged:
I don't understand why it should go up. Please explain.
I mean we produce our crude and sell to other countries meaning we should gain more dollars with the crude oil price increase. Secondly, we now largely refine our own crude meaning importation is at its lowest. So how should crude oil price increase also result in increased fuel price here rather than the opposite effect. Please explain

Crude oil is valued at international price , so that makes Nigeria vulnerable to price instability. Nigeria and Dangote may export more oil due to surge in demand but that also means average Nigerians will pay more for petrol, diesel etc because the price is benchmarked. Also Nigeria still import more than half of local consumption despite local refineries, so essentially, Nigeria is exposed to global price disruption and also higher premium on imports. Interesting times ahead.
