Shame on Trump for allowing Bibi Netanyahu to lead him down this path of war

He has ruined all the good name he used to have

What good name? Some Nigerians (people) and cluelessness, yet pretending to know anything about anything! Criminal, EpsteinianFile, bankrupting conman never had any good name anywhere until American whites bought his BS to continue white supremacy! Unfortunately, this will cost all of us & already costing us all!

I think Iran may actually have planned for the US to be goaded and suckered into a land invasion & give them the initial impression of success before descending on them like white on rice! The US would then be in a hellish quagmire that it cannot easily leave and it cannot win (the Talibans have created the template for this already & used it 2-3 times, Vietnam similar); all to the ultimate loss of the US power, influence and hegemony. Deploying ground forces would be a major US miscalculation!

Incredible! This is NOT a movie - it’s real! I wonder why military intelligence doesn’t have drones all over the terrorist lines, locate their positions take them out & gather intelligence and reduce casualties to the Nigerian forces!? Surely, that would’ve been even more effective! Kudos to the Nigerian Armed Forces!

So, how do Nigerians in Naija who do remote work get paid without money being deposited into their Opay or Naija bank account?

Create a State Police System immediately to improve security and isolate pockets of violence and crime that could be easier to deal with by state / targeted federal resources.

Just FIX Security problems permanently & the country will grow / transform organically.

TemplarLandry:
This is a foolish pretext by Trump to violate the sovereignty of another country. This is unacceptable.

Smart & correct take - no need to over-elaborate! He is entirely responsible for this illegal act & of course, the dummies who put him in office!

Analog95:
Hello guys, I humbly need you all view on this. All my life I have always wanted to be a lecturer, so early this year (January, 2025), I finally got awarded PhD in Applied Mathematics. Though I had my first degree in Mechanical Engineering, masters in Applied Mathematics with specialization in fluid dynamics and PhD in Applied Mathematics with specialization in fluid dynamics as well. During my study, I run a tutorial centre and making cool money from teaching mechanical engineering and mathematics students. So after obtaining my PhD I started sending out my CV to people I know in institutions, though most are of the opinion that I shouldn't have switched from mechanical engineering to mathematics that it will give me problem.

Around January 2025, immediately after my PhD oral examination, my supervisor linked me up with the rector of a polytechnic to go submit my CV to him, which I did, and according to the rector, he told me that it is not matter of CV for now, because most people that he employed as assistant lecturers, they really don't have much to pay them and the governor of the state has promised that he will do recruitment for the polytechnic around March because of accreditation processes, so during that recruitment, I can be employed. Fast forward to March, the accreditation went on and I wasn't informed if the recruitment was later done (you know all this underground stuffs), so I later got my mind off the institution and look at for another university in other states which I was promised also that once there is directives to start recruitment, I will be employed.

On the 3rd of july, 2025, I got a call from someone from the polytechnic, telling me to come to the personnel department as soon as possible with my credentials, when I got there, he collected photocopies of my credentials and on sighting the mechanical engineering as first degree, he said which department do I want and I said mathematics and he said why not mechanical engineering where I had my foundation, so I said I preferred mathematics because since I switched to mathematics, I have published 11 academic journal with 7 of them Scopus rated in Q1, and I have also attended 7 seminars with certificate to back them up, and I have also been a member of the Nigerian mathematical society (NMS), so he said they will get back to me.

Since then I haven't heard anything. After a month, I made a call to the person that I submitted my credentials to at the personnel department, that I haven't heard from them and he said "sebi we are the one that called you ourself, the process is ongoing and once we are ready, we will definitely call you back". But I haven't heard from them still. It is almost two months now since I submitted the credentials and I am already losing faith.

I am just confused, could my changing from engineering to science be hindering me from getting a lecturing position? If it is, does it make sense to go back and obtain another master and PhD in mechanical engineering and just forget about the mathematics? Or just forget about lecturing and focus on my tutorials, meanwhile I make more than 500k monthly from the tutorial because it is in school area, but I don't want to be a tutor forever, not even with a PhD.

I like your profile & in most other developed countries, you’d have massive advantages! How about do even better - start your own school by putting your own school and teaching materials online on your own platform and monetize it. You will be able to teach not only students in Nigeria but literally across the world. Start your education platform small and in a few years even the people who doubted you would apply to your online education school to be hired and you can run it from almost anywhere! DM me for more info if you want to explore these ideas further.

How much can or do these side hustle jobs make? Assuming I (a regular phone user) want to take like 10 photos / videos with my mobile phone for an event in Lagos / Abuja / somewhere and post it, how much could that make?

Racoon:
Meanwhile, according to the govt and it hoardes of mummified zombies the economy is recovering yet the foreign reserve is being massively depleted to shore up the naira.

How does a country increase its foreign capital inflows? That, while the country is a heavy import-dependent country? What happens to that country’s currency in such scenario? To the point: what have you or your business exported that is earning $10,000 or more every month? Take that amount and multiply by a large number of businesses and individuals and then, there will be no or less need to defend the local currency (Naira). If not then, manufacture / supply almost all needs of the country locally, little imports such that exports > imports. If you can understand some of these (not even detailed analysis), then you know why such a move has been done.

Dididrumz:
Democrats are the most demonic sets of politicians on earth.

You must be talking about yourself ain’t it?

Agreed! Do it NOW!! How long do Nigerians have to wait to get security in their own states & country?

Nigeria just refuses to solve a problem once and for all - WHY? Terrorism / violent crimes is not what you fight after it happens! You use your STATE POLICE & resources to gather intelligence, thwart and dismantle them before they happen! This is what all serious countries about crime do: work on security issues continuously, not a bandaid emergency response after loss of life!

When will the Federal & State Governments implement state police? This appproach does a lot to break down the major problem of insecurity into different parts, which can then be addressed effectively by the personnel who know a lot about each state individually and continuously.

lapintoz:
Them just hold my friend for DC 2 days ago. This guy get green card but also get court cases.....as he enter on Tuesday. Them don hold am.

You need to see him singing praises of Trump during election. That he is the best for America! Now Trump don hold am.....na deportation we dey fight for now cos the guy na street guy wey fit get skeletons for inside cupboard well well.....

No sympathy for chickens who voted for KFC! There are many Nigerians / immigrant like this: castigate the people & ideas that give them standing but celebrate the people who would not even spit on them if that will quench the flames with which they are engulfed! Nigerians love America but have no clue that the America they love and see on TV is New York / California, Chicago, DC, Washington, Massachusetts, etc. Those are Democrat states run by their ideas that allow them to create many of the technologies and ideas that allow them to thrive & want to come to America or visit! Even most Americans avoid republican run states & most of the ones that cannot leave are either too poor, un-educated to get opportunities elsewhere, have old relatives they cannot leave behind, etc. This is what Repub ideas have produced - backwardness akin to that in most parts of Northern Nigeria and the poorer parts of the world! Next time someone bashes democratic ideas, just know that without mostly their work over decades you will not be able to come here legally and most of the Repub states are still held back by the curse of slave-holding and have not moved forward & likely will not for another 100 years if they continue in their backward stoopidity!

DeltaOil:
Some people are naturally foolish.
Every country deports as they see fit.

From what I gather mainly democrats are slow to think straight

This is SOOO stoopidly wrong! I hate it when Nigerians and people who recently knew or moved to the US voice absolutely dum.b opinions like this one! Repubs know most of their followers and people like you have low IQ and will say anything while robbing your generations blind! You have no idea that without landmark laws passed by republicans, there were no rights for your kind to be in the US & no protections for your kind - non-white, women, or “different”! What is “America”, that most of the world really gravitate towards? Overwhelmingly democratic states, and republican states with sizeable democratic cities! California, New York, Chicago, WA, MA, etc. Most of the ignorant people who croon about Repub ideas will never live or even visit those sh.ithole states but will run to CA, NY, etc. Why? If Repub ideas that magats & ignorant commenters support are good, then Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, etc. should be inventing & leading in everything and your ilk groveling just to live or visit there. Do you? Have you? Even the ones living in those Repub states live off the equalization payments (sent to them by democratic states). Stop commenting rubbish if you have no clue what you are talking about!!

FutureFocus:
some Nigerian in dispora buy gadget cheaply from me, they claimed it’s too expensive over there and then send fund to Nigeria , I will advice the Nigeria government encourage this gadgets companies to produce here as it would reduce unemployment, those companies will employ our people here

Tell Bose, JBL to produce whatever they want to sell here.

Nigeria should FIX POWER & SECURITY FIRST! Then, Bose, JBL and many more companies will do anything to manufacture & run business in Nigeria!!

Why will any sensible person who worked for his money, not stole it, invest a minimum of $1 M in the USA, just to get a reasonable business started!? Don’t deceive yourself, this is not easy at all, regardless of the business & unlike Nigeria, you cannot do just whatever you like! Which banks will loan you money to start business as a foreigner from Nigeria?

omoredia:
Wokeness has eaten deep into America for so long. Thank God for Trump

Are Nigerians like you just dum.b or want to just be provocative with your brand of ignorance or stupidity!? Do Nigerians like you know what the real meaning of being “woke” mean or the stereotype from Trump and repubs is what defines a word that was coined for decades to mean something very positive for attentive mostly black Americans? It is so triggering that Nigerians who only heard a buzzword suddenly become experts, when the economy is already faltering in less than 2 months of bad policies! Gas prices and groceries are up, unemployment rate is rising and business is down, what f.uck do Nigerians who haven’t been here for at least 10 years contribute to US politics & economics discussions if not ignorance and stoopid takes that make no sense!? Just shut up & stop embarrassing yourself!!

sofeo:
Nope, Joe Biden's USA only wanted to use Ukraine to ruin Russia, with the help of NATO as Biden has hatred for Putin's RUSSIA, since
he was a senator.
Unfortunately you didn't see it coming, you should have played a neutral game and be wise at the same time.

Biden is too weak and lacks the strategy to fight Russia, only Trump has the guts.

Dum.b sentiments & comments like yours & others after are the basic reasons the slave trade & colonialism in Africa ever succeeded! I have no time to spend time educating the foolishness of clueless people (& Nigerians) who have no sense or knowledge of history, contemporary issues & being able to decipher issues in the international arena.

Melagros:
COMRADES, I wish I were a Canadian PM/MP, I'll subscribe for the annexation or assimilation of Canada to the United States of America

Sum.best comment ever! That he why you are a big foo.l & fraud & cannot even be a leader in your nuclear family!

CoronaVirusPro:
People like you are the reason Black Americans detest African Americans.

Those diversity scholarships your people enjoy would stop and you will have no option.

Did you hear him ban legacy admission? No! Because it favours his own people.

Most Nigerians who comment on foreign topics (e.g. US) are cluelessly stoopid! They don’t know everyone who is not wealthy in US / Nigeria / most parts of the world will pay or regress in one way or the other. If you’ve not been in the US for at least 10 years, you can have no clue on the issues, so just shut-up & stop stinking-up this place!

Clueless Nigerians supporting their god Trump will soon have to put their money on the line for him. If you have people who send you money from the US, Canada, Europe, etc., that will reduce or stop as they will have to spend more too (25 - 30%) on their current expenses, which will reduce their disposable income / discretionary spending! Welcome to a world of destroying oneself with short-sighted stoopidity!

There is a way out though which is mostly available only to rich folks (~12% of the US population) who own / control about 85% of the stock market or own businesses. If not, this move ensures you will be poorer and your children will inherit the debt & be further behind in life! This is before adding the burden of their student loans, and for the adults, almost no chance of qualifying for a mortgage to own a home!

So, if you’re a Trump supporter in Nigeria and you think he is doing something great, you’ve been pwned! The effects will spread to most parts of the world and you will pay by giving-up the little you get currently. The people only exceptions is if you can access (buy & sell stocks / ETFs) the US stock market and even if you can, you will need significant money to run the investments that can produce outsized returns! Buckle-up buttercups - most people are about to lose more than they bargained for!

Isn’t this consequence of BREXIT or part of it as Britain gets poorer?

omoredia:
Obama is the worst president America has ever had. The worst people are liberals

Dum.b, so stoopid to make such asinine statement! If you are not American who actually lives & lived kn America when Obama was president, like most Nigerians - then you’re just dumb! No recent republican president has even come close to Obama’s performance & achievements despite near total blockade of his agenda in congress!

Clueless Nigerians like you should focus on Nigeria or on things they are actually mentally capable of commenting about!

madridguy:
America should take their soldiers to Canada and go and teach Justin some lessons. He must be a dictator for refusing the US for having his country.

Most commenters from NL (Nigerians) are completely clueless & stupidly talk about something they know nothing about - historically & contemporaneously!

Peter Obi adopting the lying and deceptive tactics of the criminal Donald Trump! Will it work!? Only if Nigerians are as gullible as Americans who voted for the convicted criminal & rapist trump!

OkCornel:
Meanwhile, this is Lugard’s views on the major tribes in Nigeria.

These tribal groups are the perfect combination for the disaster we have witnessed from independence till date

The views of a thieving Lugard who stole and destroyed thousands of tribes for British / European benefits can never have any value to intelligent people who think for themselves. Harold Smith gave an interview about the crimes of the British in Nigeria, did you even read or see it? Lugard and his British masters are the reason why Nigeria was deliberately designed to fail! Grow a brain or use it if you already have it and think!!

forgiveness:
Apart from dispatching the group, government must look inward by providing basic infrastructure, jobs, skill acquisition, education, capital etc to discourage the locals in those communities to resist those terrorists offers.

They have a government in their state who has that responsibility! The FG or a different state will not do the job of their sitting government to provide “basic infrastructure”.

saintkel:
In as much as I like dis news ...I so wish it has direct impact in d economy

Of course, it has a direct impact or are you implying that fuel costs have impact in other places and refineries but not in this case? Think before saying something nonsensical!

Naijjablog:
Never have i seen someone so retarded as Biden, old man wants force us to WWIII by force by fire.

Trump should jail that mf!

Nigerians in Naija or elsewhere making dumb statements they know nothing about are the retards - you are the retarded one! If your wisdom was so greater, why is Nigeria in the doldrums!? Get off the stoopid and face your business!

God1000:
When you have to fight someone you are afraid of, I think Israel wants to drag the United States into war with Iran, they also want the American people to pay the bill from their pockets.

They surely need US assistance to be able to strike Iran

I will never support oppressors, Iran has the right to defend itself too

Call me whatever you like, but nobody, no country should be allowed to act with so much impunity, we need the balance of power

You are absolutely correct! There’s been so many lies about their fighting prowess, which was up till recently not known that US Forces & CIA basically teleguided their previous military expeditions. They also cannot fight without US weapons & money, yet they keep killing poorer peoples who have no help! The US should stand back & let them fight by themselves otherwise it is a risk for the US to be drawn into military conflicts / wars it cannot afford while its citizens / interests languish at home.
