LadyExcellency:When Iran hits residential building (In a war they didn't ask for), it’s suddenly ‘proof’ they can’t be trusted with a nuclear program. But when Israel turns entire Gaza neighbourhoods into rubble, flattens refugee camps, and kills thousands including women and children, that’s just ‘self-defence,’ right? Imagine the mental gymnastics: Missiles from Iran hitting residential areas is a global crisis, but thousands of Israeli airstrikes on civilians? That’s just Wednesday. If bombing civilians makes a country untrustworthy, then Israel should’ve been blacklisted long ago. They didn't even declare the nuclear weapons in their possession but I guess war crimes only count when the West isn’t looking the other way. The hypocrisy is doing backflips at this point. |
Moniya4Real:It's heartbreaking. Many of them don’t even know how Nigeria was formed, why our borders are the way they are, or how colonial rule deliberately sowed ethnic divisions to weaken unity. They don’t ask why youth unemployment is so high, why we import what we can produce, or why Africa, with all its potential, remains unindustrialised. The same people will criticise the government without realising that it’s not just about corruption, there are external forces, more powerful than any president, pulling strings behind the scenes. Yes, the government is corrupt, but that’s part of a larger system designed to keep us weak and dependent. Then the oppressed will jump to defend Israel, an apartheid state backed by the same imperialist powers that censor or shuts down voices that don't align with their narratives. What's worse? Many think they’re informed because they watch Western news, when in reality, they’re consuming filtered narratives meant to keep Africa in its place. Colonisation didn't end bro. It's just not physical, it's mental. |
Where are all the people who were loudly supporting Israel in the Israel-Iran war? Can’t you see the pattern? If you're upset about African Stream being shut down by Western powers for challenging dominant narratives, and the next, you’re blindly echoing those same Western narratives when it comes to global conflicts, then I'm lost of words for you. If you condemn Iran while supporting Israel’s aggression based solely on what CNN, BBC etc, or whatever Western governments feed you, but still express outrage over African Stream’s shutdown, then you’re either not serious or very ignorant. You can’t be against imperialist censorship and still embrace imperialist propaganda when it aligns with your uninformed and ignorant biases. That’s exactly the kind of mental colonisation African Stream is trying to fight, now it's being silenced. E go soon clear for una eyes. |
lionshare:I'm from this generation as well where there's a "Video club" in almost every corner of a street. I revel in the nostalgia but I certainly don't miss it. I don't know about Nollywood movies but as far as foreign movies goes back then, I remember the likes of Prison Break, Legends of the Seeker, Lost etc which I have no doubt they are all 100% pirated, that touches on your assertion that creatives were being exploited. But I'll tell you, last week I paid £30 (excluding shipping) for a Lagbaja "We before Me" CD album, which is a bit of an irony. If someone told me back then that I'll buy one single CD album for more than 60,000 Naira in 2025, I'll sure laugh. |
Which kind dry joke be this abeg? 😂😂 If air defence system for even short range cost between $20M-$100M and the missile itself cost between $3-5M per shot. How many missiles we go shoot before the country go broke? If missile show, make una use prayer point jam am for mid-air. Una kuku love God well well. Who needs air defence system when you get God of Israel who go intercept incoming missile with his mighty hand. |
BRICS+ in motion! Love to see it. 2 characters for your daddy 2 characters for your mummy 2 characters for your sister 2 characters for your brother 2 characters for your cousin 2 characters for your nephew 4 characters for your next door neighbours |
Typical Israel-style pity party. Holocaust ko...Locust bean ni ![]() |
US Mission Nigeria 🤡 That says a lot US Mission Nigeria |
Ikpunekenwa:It really do amazes me how people use their brain. This is not about which "green card" is better. I'll give you an insight. You see what makes America attractive to people like you and millions all around the world? It's decades of pillage, extortion, manipulation and suppression of Africa and its resources among others. This is the war that Iran is fighting, a war against Western hegemony and unipolar world. Africa can be great too if the world don't have to look up to America and the weapons they fashioned against us like the IMF, Worldbank etc. Open your eyes and see the bigger picture. Think critically, please think!!! |
Good to see Iran standing strong against big bad bully ![]() |
Coder2Client:What do you call Israel's strikes that's turning Gaza and every living thing in it into rubbles and graveyard? Empathy-guided missiles? |
Maamin:You’re repeating the visible symptoms of the conflict, not examining the root cause. Yes, Iran opposes Israel. Yes, they support militant groups. But again, you’re ignoring why they do. Iran’s stance is reactive, not random. Israel has occupied Palestinian land for decades, violates international law regularly, and has nuclear weapons while refusing to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty — but Iran is the threat? You say Iran is “working tirelessly to destroy Israel”, what has Israel done in Gaza and the West Bank for the last 50+ years? Bombings, illegal settlements, assassinations, open-air prisons. If Iran supports armed resistance, it’s because Israel has made peace impossible. Also, let’s be real, just because Israel has “advanced intelligence” doesn’t mean it’s morally right. The U.S. had “intelligence” before invading Iraq. What happened? A war based on lies. Hundreds of thousands died. No weapons found. Having intelligence doesn’t make a country just, only more capable of controlling the narrative. What I’m saying is: Don’t reduce this to who has better drones or spies. Look at who’s really preserving sovereignty and who’s enforcing control. Iran is not perfect, far from it, but its opposition to Israel and the West isn’t without deep geopolitical reasons rooted in history, imperialism, and regional resistance. You’re stuck on “Iran wants to destroy Israel”, but you’re blind to how Israel and its allies have destroyed entire regions — Iraq, Libya, Syria — all under similar justifications. That’s not twisting reality. That is reality. Think critically! |
Maamin:You raised a good point. Someone else has quoted my analysis raising the same points you raised, so see my response to them below. I hope that will answer your question too. If not, feel free to reach out again. I'll be happy to dissect in more detail. Iran shouting “Death to America” is a political slogan, not a literal military strategy. It’s a chant rooted in anti-imperialism, not a declaration of planned nuclear war or actual genocide. Iran’s leadership has clarified repeatedly that the slogan targets U.S. foreign policy, not American people. It’s no different from chants like “Yankee go home” in Latin America during the Cold War. It's a slogans of resistance, not declarations of war. Let’s not forget: the U.S. overthrew Iran’s democratic government in 1953, supported Saddam Hussein’s war against Iran (where chemical weapons were used), imposed decades of sanctions, killed General Qassem Soleimani on foreign soil, and surrounded Iran with military bases. Would any sovereign nation stay quiet after that? C'mon man! Iran’s support for proxies is strategic defense, not random aggression. If you’re surrounded by hostile forces, you build deterrence through alliances. The U.S. does it too — in NATO, with Taiwan, and with Israel. So when Iran does it, suddenly it’s “sponsoring terror,” but when the West does it, it’s called “maintaining global security”? That’s a double standard. And about the fear of Iran destroying the U.S. Let’s be real. Iran doesn’t have the military capability to “totally destroy” America, and they know it. It’s not about conquest, it’s about resisting domination. The same way Vietnam, Cuba, or Venezuela resisted, Iran is resisting. If words like “Death to America” justify preemptive strikes, what about U.S. officials calling for “bombing Iran,” “obliterating North Korea,” or saying “Assad must go”? Should those be taken as license to invade Washington? We can’t take slogans literally for one country and ignore the real violence done by others. If we want peace, we need to understand why countries resist the West — and whether that resistance is self-defense, not pure hatred. |
Botragelad:Ah yes, because nothing says ‘moral high ground’ like laughing emojis over targeted killings and international instability. Real grown-up energy there. |
Iran must be proud of this man in life and death. Standing strong against western hegemony and influence. Despite their war and propaganda, we know who the real terrorists are. |

Amos07:I understand your point and concerns and yes, Iran supports groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, but to say Iran would hand over nuclear weapons to proxies oversimplifies how nuclear deterrence works and assumes Iran is irrational, which decades of behaviour contradict. Iran knows any use of nuclear weapons, directly or via proxies, would invite complete annihilation of Iran as we know it. Even the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and Israeli intelligence have repeatedly admitted there’s no proof Iran seeks a bomb or would use it if they had one. For almost 30 years, Netanyahu has been parroting the notion that Iran is 6 months or 2-5 years away from developing nuclear weapons. All proved to be a lie. This was how it was parroted before Iraq invasion and guess what? There was no nuclear weapon in Iraq. What they left behind in Iraq after the invasion was chaos. If the logic is that supporting militant proxies = intent to launch nukes, then what do we say of the U.S. arming Saudi Arabia in Yemen (where thousands of civilians were bombed), or Israel’s decades-long funding and training of militias? Is every powerful country guilty of sponsoring groups that serve its strategic interests? Of course. But nuclear warfare? That’s a whole different level. No state, not even North Korea has ever dared that route. Also, it’s not that Iran wants “to stay alone at the cost of others’ harmony.” That assumes harmony exists. The West’s idea of “order” often comes at the expense of national sovereignty. Just look at what happened to Libya and Iraq. Were they trying to harm others or simply choosing an independent path? As for your question — “Why aren’t other Arab nations attacking Israel?”, that’s precisely the point. The Arab regimes you mention have normalized relations with Israel not because they love peace, but because they’ve been politically or economically pressured by the West. Iran, on the other hand, maintains an independent foreign policy, and that’s what makes it a “problem.” You rightly mentioned not letting propaganda cloud our views and I completely agree. But Western media has spent decades crafting the narrative of Iran as the aggressor while ignoring or downplaying Israeli occupation, expansion, and disproportionate military actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Let’s not pretend one side holds the moral high ground here. At the end of the day, the nuclear issue is a pretext. The real issue is about control, deterrence, and resistance to unipolar dominance. That’s what this is about. |
adolfHitler1934:Joke's on you - This is my analysis, or you can at least disprove that with the original article I copied it from. I'm using my common sense. Use yours too, trust me you can. |
I really hope we as Africans will see the bigger picture here concerning the Israel-Iran war. This war is never about Iran enriching nuclear, I repeat, THIS WAR IS NEVER ABOUT IRAN ENRICHING NUCLEAR. It is a pretext for something much sinister, western-style. There are a lot of moving parts to unravel. First you need to dig deep into the Israel’s formation, the relationship between Israel and USA, and by extension, Israel and the collective Western countries. I’m not going to go into nitty gritty, you can do your own research. Iran’s nuclear program has always been under America’s intense scrutiny. Even after years of satellite monitoring and intelligence reports, There was no definitive evidence that emerged to prove that Iran is actively pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. This same rhetoric was used as a pretext to invade Iraq during the regime of Sadam Hussein. Did they find any nuclear weapon in Iraq? NO, yet America was hellbent on forcing a regime change in Iraq, they killed thousands of civilians, destabilised the country because of their strategic and geopolitical interests. After America overthrew Saddam Hussein, ISIS was born. Iraq today is a $hithole, way worse than it was before invasion. Remember Libya? Libya had one of the highest GDPs per capita in Africa under Gaddafi, with free education, healthcare, and subsidized housing. Gaddafi was a Pan African who positioned himself as a champion of Africa Unity, advocating for a United States of Africa with a common government, military and currency. He invested heavily in many Africa countries, he worked to introduce a gold backed dinar which was intended to replace the CFA Franc which will challenge the dominance of dollar and Euro in Africa. The West saw that as a threat to their economic order. What later happened? They created condition the Arab Spring uprising which gave them a reason to invoke United Nation mandate to “protect civilian” (They don’t give a F about you by the way). They called NATO in, NATO created the condition and environment for rebel forces to capture and kill Ghadaffi. What became of Libya afterwards? Nothing but a failed state. The country is in ruins, a major haven for terrorists and a hub for illegal arms dealing. Remember Somalia? Though the West didn’t invent in Somalia’s crisis but it contributed significantly to its collapse. Remember Syria too? Ukraine is fresh. Notice a pattern? A pattern of coup, regime change, unrests, instilling a leader of their chosen to favour their own economic interest. Wait, you really think you vote for your own leaders? Who do you think are supporting terrorists like BH etc? Back to Iran, The core issue has never truly been uranium enrichment, it has been Iran’s pursuit of independence. Unlike several Arab governments, Iran resists aligning with Washington’s agenda, rejects normalization with Israel under current conditions, and refuses to integrate into the Western geopolitical sphere. For this defiance, it faces consequences: economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and, when deemed necessary, military threats. So the war is a manufactured crisis designed to justify murder under the pretence of security. If Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon, why can’t they? Israel have nuclear weapon but are not signatory to Non Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. Iran that doesn’t have nuclear weapon is a signatory to the treaty. Why? So that the west can suppress and harass them. Do you not think North Korea would have been invaded already? The only reason the West would NEVER try it is because North Korea has nuclear weapons. If Iran has nuclear weapon, the illegal assault on Iran by Israel and USA wouldn’t have happened. If Iran have nuclear weapon, do you think they will use it? No! Because no one wins a nuclear war. If Iran attack any nation with nuclear weapon, another nation will turn the whole of Iran to dust. It’s as simple as that. Nuclear weapon is a deterrence. The west would make you believe that Iran is a terrorist state because guess what? All the western media that we consume is owned by Jews. All the CNN, Fox News, Sky News UK, Daily Mail, MSNBC and all the online news etc, name it. They’ve also infiltrated Africa media to push THEIR narrative and their narratives only. Israel has destroyed every hospital in Gaza, how much of that do you see in the media? Iran launched a missile to hospital in Israel and it’s all over the news. USA and the collective West also wants to maintain their economic, military and political dominance on the who world. Iran is in their way of achieving that. If they are successful in destabilising Iran, that means the West have control of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz where the shipping of commodities that powers the world passes through. Also, a destabilised Iran means the whole of Middle East is in America’s pocket. The dollar has dominated world trade for almost 100 years. Other world power are challenging that, bringing alternatives like BRICS to the table which will truly make the world multipolar, diminishing USA and western influence. Major players in BRICS are Russia and China. If Iran falls, Russia’s influence will dwindle, China will feel it. This will be a huge setback for BRICS which means USA and the dollar maintain dominance. This also means Russia and China’s influence is Africa will dwindle and America’s and Europe’s influence in Africa grows. The West has never had the best interest of Africa at heart, other than steal, extort, oppress and suppress. China and Russia are trading fairly with African nations, without conditions. Guess who has traded one sided deals plus conditions with Africa? Your guess is as good as mine. Yes, the West! But we have Stockholm syndrome as Africans, that’s why we believe America and Europe are our friends, they’re not. Far from it! This is certainly America’s war using their proxy (Israel) because Israel will never start a war without America’s approval. When America and the West are planning a war, they use peace as a pretext, history is a lesson. They’ve caused enough havoc to the world already. There are several reports and videos (which I can share of course) of them claiming that they are intentionally keeping Africa poor because a rich Africa is a threat to them but like I said, we are now seeing a multipolar world where the world don’t have to look up to America. But America has woken up to that fact and wants to severe the chance of a multipolar world. Waging a war against Iran is a starting point. Wake up and see the bigger picture! And to Religious zealots, this is not a religious war, it’s not a Christian v Muslim war. If you think the people of Israel referenced in the bible are the same modern day Israeli people, then I feel sorry for whoever sent you to school. Too Long; Didn’t Read (TL;DR): The conflict with Iran isn’t really about nuclear weapons — that’s just a pretext. The real issue is Iran’s refusal to submit to U.S. and Western dominance, align with Israel, or abandon its independent foreign policy. Similar Western-backed interventions in Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and elsewhere have led to chaos, regime changes, and weakened nations — all in service of maintaining global dominance, especially of the U.S. dollar and Western interests. Iran’s resistance, alongside rising powers like Russia and China through BRICS, threatens this control. The Israel-Iran conflict is part of a broader geopolitical strategy to crush independent voices and preserve Western hegemony — not a religious war or fight for global security. Africans/Nigerians must wake up and see the bigger picture. |
Originality007:Small Ukraine? Yes Russia is almost 30 times bigger than Ukraine. Ukraine is bigger than the whole of Kenya, any world power will struggle to take on such vast land area, just like China would face significant challenges taking "small" Taiwan. But Ukraine is receiving military help from NATO countries, otherwise the whole of Ukraine would have been in Putin's pocket. Putin is fighting NATO through Ukraine. It's not that hard to figure out. |
Meti99:Consumed western propaganda much. Very soon you will know who the real terrorists are. |
Israel F'ed around, now they're finding out. If you wish for rain, be ready to deal with the mud. |
KingAzubuike:This is not a boomslang, though it looks like a female or juvenile boomslang and you won't find boomslang in cars. That's a house snake called Dekay's brown snake. Generally harmless and safe, so no need to fear or kill them. |

olaolaking:Exactly. This is for people at the back. Fun fact: Jesus is Jew, but Jewish people don't believe in Jesus. |
olaolaking:Very well put. The Orishas are tolerant, its christianity that undermines, demonises and condemn our ancient spirituality and way of life of our ancestors. Ifa divination predates christianity by thousands of years. A bible that was reinterpreted, manipulated and re-written in England will NEVER convince me that Orishas are evil. By the way, for any christians out there, if you want to read the bible that is closest to what the early christians might have read in the 4th century AD, get yourself the Ethiopian Bible. The bible most of you are carrying around was produced by King James of England in 1611, intentionally excluding books that were once part of earlier christian canons. That's why it's called King James Version, you are reading a version of a supposedly "Holy Book". The Ethiopian Bibile included: 1.1st, 2nd and 3rd book of Maccabees 2. Tefut 3. The book of Clement 4. Didascalia 5. The Epistle of Barnabas 6. The Shepherd of Hermas 7. Joseph ben Gorion 8. 1st and 2nd book of the covenant 9. Enoch 10. Jubilees 11. Wisdom 12. Sirach 13. The Book of the mysteries of Heaven and Earth And a whole lot of other books not included in the western (Protestant) canon. The King James Version of the Bible was specifically interpreted to reflect certain political, religious and imperial ideologies of the early 17th-century. I bet majority of zombie pastors and GOs don’t know that. I refuse to let such book determine how I consult and serve my God. No religion has monopoly over God. Either you are a christian, muslim, traditional worshipper, agnostic or atheist etc, we are ALL a piece of God. |
A house in "paradise" ![]() |
There's God within you and outside of you. Religion is a human concept and you don't need religion to have a relationship with God. Forget all the "No one comes to the father except through Jesus" fallacy. We are all one with God, which makes you, by extension, a piece of God. God is a big puzzle, you and everything you perceive through your senses, are the pieces of this big puzzle. God is Christian, God is Muslim, God is atheist, God is Orisha, God is Catholic, God is black, God is white, God is man, God is woman. God has no ego or personal interest. God does not feel love, for God is love, so just live a decent and moral life, treat people and nature nice and with love. The concept of hell and heaven is designed to keep you subservient but hey, do you. |
