A documentary about a war that hasn’t even properly ended—barely 48 hours into the ceasefire—and it’s already out? Now that’s hilarious! 😂😂😂 |
Unlimited22:There’s no confirmed report yet — but if it does happen, the fallout will hit us all. Yes, even the warmongers clapping from the safety of their screens. And since we’re here, let’s not forget one of the many side effects of these endless wars — a point even Ibime has vaguely alluded to. Beyond a handful of Western nations, much of the West is already grappling with the aftermath. Maybe Ibime can update us on the small boats crisis currently gripping his own country — or explain how the average white Brit/Brit feels about Middle Eastern refugees who, even after years of resettlement, still reject British values. I’d imagine that if the conflict continues, even more refugees will be heading for the West in the near future. Just one of the many “benefits” of these endless wars. Ibime: |
iamoyindamola:Make we bet na. Una go buy Madueke with £100mil or collect Ireti |
iamoyindamola:Una go collect Ireti as una coach if we no win 😂😂😂😂 |
iamoyindamola:We go disappoint you las las lol |
iamoyindamola:You dey happy for competition wey una no fit play lol |
izzou:Omo… I’ve come to realise that even the self-proclaimed pacifists on this forum are only pacifists when they’re not the ones expected to get their hands dirty. And let’s be honest — 90% of those cheering this war on here have likely never experienced real violence or witnessed it unfold around them. If they had, the kind of joy I’ve seen on both sides while celebrating this conflict wouldn’t be so loud. While they continue applauding the next chapter of destruction, here’s a grim reminder: in today’s warped calculus, even being a STEM graduate working as a scientist can make you a legitimate target. You and your family can be murdered in your sleep and labelled terrorists or sympathisers — simply for doing your job. You’re no longer seen as a person. Just another statistic. Easily erased. Here’s a snapshot of what “strategy” has brought us in the past: Afghanistan (2001–2021) • Estimated civilian deaths: - 170,000–243,000+ from direct war-related violence - Millions more displaced, starved, or left without healthcare • Deaths caused by Taliban, US/UK/NATO forces, and drone strikes Iraq (2003–2011, extended US ops through 2021) • Estimated civilian deaths: - 200,000–300,000+ from direct violence - Up to 1 million including indirect causes (infrastructure collapse, disease, displacement) • Peak violence: sectarian conflict (2006–2008), ISIS insurgency (2014–2017). And yet, the same politicians and NL pundits keep pushing the same tired lines — “stand with this side,” “You hate Isreal if you don’t support the war,” “Iran having nukes will be the end of Isreal.” But history has shown us exactly where that road leads: Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Syria. Same blueprint. Same devastation. Still no lessons learned. Las las… this isn’t my war. I have no ancestral ties, no political stake, and no interest in fuelling the noise. Neither do most of those shouting the loudest. But if there’s one thing that remains clear, it’s this: both sides bear responsibility. Both have blood on their hands. Both are keeping the cycle alive. |
izzou:History doesn’t lie. We’ve seen this all before — the invasions, the regime changes, the civilian casualties. None of it ever brought lasting peace. If anything, it fuelled deeper instability across the Middle East. But sure — rinse, repeat, and call it strategy. Since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — and with continued conflicts elsewhere in the region — the world has witnessed the ripple effects: mass displacement, waves of refugees arriving in the West, and the spread of extremist groups into new regions like Africa. These aren’t distant consequences anymore. They’re global. And they’re growing. By the way, be warned — if you don’t loudly pledge allegiance, you’ll be branded a coward before you’ve even finished your next post. In today’s warped logic, neutrality is betrayal. Refuse to cheerlead the bloodshed? You’re suddenly pro-Iran. Question the narrative? Clearly, you’re sympathising with terrorists. There’s no room for nuance — just blind loyalty and louder shouting matches. |
BlueMann:I R E T I Is a very poor coach! Nothing wey anybody fit tell me. James was played in midfield today, especially when we have actual midfielders begging for game time. Yeye coach! It’s not like he even plans to win the competition with his unimaginative, boring style of play. |
Ibime:Thanks! Continue your warmongering party. 4 0 No make any sense. By the way, now that the U.S. is about to step into the fray and the UK might follow, I hope you’ll be enlisting when the time comes — not just hyping the war while expecting other people’s children to die in a fight you wouldn’t join yourself |
I R E T I Is a very poor coach! 40 nonsense |
Ibime:My guy, I no know who pour sand for your garri wey dey make you dey whine for my mentions like person wey just start their period. All that your shalaye na for your pocket. You’re not Bibi, and you’re definitely not Israel’s spokesperson. The official reason for this war is that Iran is supposedly two weeks away from getting nukes. Everything else na extras. Abeg, respect yourself. |
liveLongNprospa:Since you’re such a mind reader and you’ve clearly caught me out, why not take your time to articulate it — without sounding like you borrowed the brain of a tadpole? |
Omo Na Wetin Cucurella Do For There 40 na waste of my time abeg |
Ibeme:What else is really going on, aside from innocent people dying on both sides and politicians doing what they always do? Is there something you actually want to say to me — or are you just repeating the same tired talking points from people who believe this war was somehow inevitable from the start? |
Ibeme:Na simple question I ask — no need to burst a vein, bros. Why I go need Google when you don turn official spokesperson for those wey dey war zone? |
Ibime:What’s the source of this data? 4 0 No make any sense. By the way, now that the U.S. is about to step into the fray and the UK might follow, I hope you’ll be enlisting when the time comes — not just hyping the war while expecting other people’s children to die in a fight you wouldn’t join yourself. |
liveLongNprospa:Oh really? And how did you arrive at that brilliant conclusion? Go on, humour me — if you can manage it without burning too many brain cells on “lol” and emojis. |
Ibime:When you say “overwhelming number of Israelis,” are you referring to those overseas and active on social media, or specifically to those currently on ground/fleeing the country? |
BlueRayDick:I honestly can’t make sense of your first paragraph. My point was clear — I’m not sure why you’re choosing to ignore it. To be clear: no one wants to die in a war — not even those fighting, and certainly not innocent Israelis who never signed up for it. Anyone with the means will leave — bunker or not. Even the very people you’re praising on NL for their bravery are doing the same, fleeing to avoid sudden death in a war they didn’t choose. By the way, I only chose to address that part of your post to highlight how the reality for those in war zones is very different from what you’re trying to make us believe — that’s all. And for the record, I have no interest in your pro-Iran or pro-Israel agenda. |
BlueRayDick:Bro — a quick Google search would blow that theory out of the water. Last I checked, people are literally fleeing on private boats and yachts, dropping upwards of $25,000 just to get out. Bunker life or not, the thought of death has a funny way of reminding us who’s actually in charge. Na humans Israelis be bros, dem no get two lives. |
LordAdam16:Ah, wetin be this? This is the lowest of the low — absolute dirtiest dirt. Truly unbelievable. Omo… I can’t believe their desperation would sink this deep. Haba, where we wan chuck this one? Nah, they’ve got to be trolling — or we’re all being played. |
BlueRayDick:Politics — na your mate? Tinubu is acting like a civilian dictator. Baba’s already clearing the road for post-2027. Who knows… maybe even Wicked Wike is in the mix for VP this time, especially if all the governors have been bought over. |
Android17:I’m not sure myself, but Al Jazeera’s reporting it — and honestly, if that’s true, I’m pretty surprised and a bit speechless. |
The silliest thing I just heard from a reporter is that there are billboards in Israel now begging for U.S. intervention. Because clearly, nothing says “we’ve got this under control” like asking a foreign superpower to step in via roadside advertising. If that’s true, it’s not just embarrassing — it’s Olympic-level buffoonery. |
Akaekpuchionwa2:No civilian should have to suffer or die because of the power struggles of politicians and elites. It’s not worth it. I completely understand why people on both sides are trying to escape. You may not be close to the reality on the ground, but try to imagine: would you wait around if violence suddenly erupted around you — violence you had no part in creating or choosing? |
iamoyindamola:Incoming Madueke!!!!!! £100mil Naim we want kpere! |
raumdeuter:Dey play Egbon 4 0 Na menace to the society!!!! |
TemporaryHansel:Sorry, but I don’t think that’s the case. If it were, Tinubu wouldn’t be busy consolidating every opposition figure into the APC across the country. He knows full well that he can’t win a free and fair election — and that’s exactly why he’s already working to hijack the 2027 election before it even begins. |
BlueRayDick:Tinubu no get any shame sha. Even the yeye governor must dey on kolos. Emilokan and him crew na just vibes and insha allah. 4 0 Na nuisance sha |
Griffon:O pe oooooo E for no funny if that guy flop with the heavy price tag 4 0 No make sense |
izzou:My brother, if lives weren’t being lost as we speak, I might find the propaganda from both pro-Iran and pro-Israel sides almost laughable. But perhaps I’m not desensitised enough to find any of it funny. The truth is, this very manipulation of information is part of what sparked the war in the first place. I’ve seen pro-Israel voices repeat what may be one of the most dangerous lies — a narrative that justifies the killing of other human beings out of fear for what might happen tomorrow. Meanwhile, some, numbed by the trauma and chaos of war, have reduced the deaths of innocent people on both sides to little more than a spectator sport — something to argue over online rather than mourn. As of March 2025, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons. She stated unequivocally that Iran’s Supreme Leader has no intention of restarting the nuclear program, which was shut down in 2003. She also made it clear that the intelligence community continues to monitor Iran very closely. And yet, since 2003, Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed that Iran is just “two weeks away” from developing a nuclear weapon — a talking point recycled over and over again, despite a lack of credible evidence. Ironically, the current U.S. President, Donald Trump, was once a fierce critic of American policy in the Middle East. Long before his first presidential run, he called it a disaster. In 2011, he accused Barack Obama of being weak and incapable of negotiating, claiming that Obama would end up starting a war with Iran. Then in 2015, Trump bluntly stated that the wars in the Middle East were a “big fat mistake” — particularly the war in Iraq, which he said destabilised the region based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. More recently, Kemi Badenoch, head of the UK Conservative Party, publicly stated that Israel is being used as a proxy to fight a Western war — specifically on behalf of the UK, the U.S., and NATO — against Iran and its allies. She made similar comments about Ukraine, claiming it is being used as a proxy in the West’s confrontation with Russia. Just yesterday, I watched a video where a reporter asked Trump about Tulsi Gabbard’s testimony on Iran’s lack of nuclear weapons. He flatly dismissed it, saying he didn’t care what she had to say — despite the fact that she’s his own Director of National Intelligence. To top it all off, I watched Tucker Carlson interview U.S. Senator Ted Cruz this morning. Cruz, who has called for the overthrow of Iran’s government, couldn’t even answer basic questions about Iran. His justification for U.S. support of Israel — and for why war is necessary — was that “the Bible supports it.” That alone should be an eye-opener about just how disconnected from reality some of these leaders are. Now, some people here are even trying to link Iran to our domestic issues with Boko Haram and other extremist groups — despite credible reports showing that the CIA had direct involvement in those situations. At this point, only God can help us. Too many people have lost the will — or the courage — to question even the most basic misinformation. |
