He didn't lie did he? We've seen the pictures, watched the videos.

Airforce and airpower is what makes or breaks any military operation worldwide. As we are currently seeing happen in Iran, the US and Israel are engaged in sustained aerial bombardments of Iranian positions to soften Iranian defenses and render them incapable of withstanding any coming American troops invasion. While the airforce cannot hold ground, it can deny the enemy easy access to it and stop the enemy from building up fortifications.

Overall, we have to be embarrassed at this point of the total incompetence Nigeria's military has displayed. Over 22 years of the war against terror, the Nigerian military has never been able to point out and launch offensives against a single Boko Haram camp. Rather, we are fed endless woes of Boko Haram carrying out offensive attacks and overrunning Nigerian army bases. Or in rare instances, we read that the Nigerian army repelled the attackers.

There is hardly any reports of the attackers being tracked back to their bases and the entire base wiped out. Rather, the army repels the attackers at first, then sits back and waits for the terrorists counter offensive. The terrorists restrategize and attack again. They meet with success this time. Shameful.

The bigger disgrace here is the Nigerian airforce. How do 4 military bases get attacked in one week and their is no single response? No closed air support, no interdiction, nothing. Expensive good for nothing platforms waste away in bases across the country. Fighter jets and attack helicopters so useless and ineffective that every Nigerian should be ashamed of the boy scouts we have operating them.

From just one state in the north east, Boko Haram has now spread to Kwara state, terrorising citizens. Right under the nose of the armed forces, terrorist elements are gaining more ground. There is a limit to what outright lies can do and achieve. But Nigerians are not deceived. We know who is winning the terror war and it certainly isn't Nigeria.

Perhaps it is time to outsource our military and defence needs to countries with competent armies and who have what it takes to put down terrorism for good. The present performance of what passes for armed forces in Nigeria is a sad disgrace and a painful joke. No competent military loses 40 soldiers in a week.

It is just the beginning.

Now, Wike will see God and expect God to kneel down before him.

Dem give dem Biafra dem go kill themselves finish. They know it, we know it.

DT and his cronies are making b*stard generational money from this war. I can’t be convinced otherwise.

His last son, a 17 year old, bought 30 million dollars worth of crude two days before the first strikes began. Imagine how much he has made so far.

Said Arabia was secretly pressuring the US to attack Iran. They can't be acting innocent.

Said Arabia was secretly pressuring the US to attack Iran.

And then he sent billions of state treasury funds your way.
Politicians and pastors work hand in hand to suppress and kill the development of this country.

Edit your option 3 - end of the western world, cos Africa won't be nuked , we will be the only continent and south America still standing.

Take your time. Google what a nuclear winter is. Please don't do that if you are hypertensive.

Biafraaa:
TRUMP IS CORNERED AND NOBODY IS SAYING IT

Option 1: Leave Iran → Middle East falls. Israel destroyed. America looks weak FOREVER.

Option 2: Send ground troops → Iran has 600,000 active military + mountain terrain. This becomes Afghanistan x10.

Option 3: Nuclear strike → Russia and China respond. Global war. End of civilization.

Every option ends in catastrophe.

The leader of the free world has NO GOOD MOVE LEFT.

Let that satisfiedink in.

Morons will argue with what you posted. Ignorance is seriously a plague in Africa.

What's wrong with her voice?

As per the New York Times, Iran struck the Gulf countries hard tonight.

- The NYT just reported U.S. officials gave a closed door briefing to Congress estimating Iran still retains half its ballistic missile program and even more of its drone capabilities

- The Strait of Hormuz is still shut, and if Iran can sustain this for another 3 weeks, the global markets won’t survive (and based on the NYT report, they should easily be able to)

- The Iranian regime has not collapsed, and the new leader seems even more radical. Apparently the less radical alternatives the U.S. was eyeing to take power where ‘accidentally’ killed (likely by Israel)

- The U.S. burned through 800+ Patriot interceptors in five days at $4 million each, and even before this war started, the Pentagon only had a quarter of the interceptor stockpile it needs to defend all its global commitments.

Trump just allowed Benjamin Netannyahu push him into a deep hole he can't come out from. One thing is for sure, by the time this thing is over, Americans will have so much hate for Israel. It is already happening as the base of both parties are turning against Israel. A democratic incumbent in the house of reps just lost her primaries due to her support for Israel. The tide is beginning to turn. As an ally, Israel has done nothing but cause problems for the United States.

Anyone who isn't a flaming imbe already knows this. I have been sounding this warning days before the US and Israel began striking Iran. But supremely ignorant Nigerians who support Israel and America, countries that don't care one bit about us and hate us, are buying the narrative that the West is pushing.

If Israel and the US were doing so well as they say, why are they blacking out every news and video clips of the damages Iran is causing. I am by no means a supporter of Iran but I find it strange that the same Iran that Trump is claiming to have rendered impotent just fired off 168 missiles hours ago.

Trump lied that he totally destroyed Iran's nuclear processing capabilities last October and yet today, he is preparing to send 5000 special forces into Iran to help secure those stockpiles. A suicidal move.

Iran may not have the weapons and planes the US and Israel have but it has one thing, the ability to throw a good punch into the balls of the global economy. The strait of Hormuz is what God has blessed them with. They will be totally incompetent not to use it.

You will buy fuel for 1500 before this week is over. It will be painful but at least you will learn an important geographic lesson. You will know what the strait of Hormuz is and why it is so important.

Kuwait just declared force majeure. This means sh(i)t will even hit the fan harder than it already has.

And we wonder why the judiciary is the mess that it is. The shameless chief judge won't even resign.

Why will any reasonable thinking man consider spending on a woman? Any woman that can't fend for herself has no place in society.

The police attached to the bank fled like the cowards that they are.

In a land of lily-livered cowards? He won't even see 50 men capable of defending their land. Let him not waste his time.

No. It is a fake Temu war. Na bambara nut, moi-moi and akpu dem dey use fire each other.
Wait, na dey brain wey you use ask this question you dey take cross road? Abi you put your brain for flight mode as you wake up?

This are the guys in charge of iran. The IRGC are a very hardened lot. They will do everything they can to stop ships passing through the strait of Hormuz. Even with Trump's 20 billion dollar insurance offer, only 2 Chinese ships have passed there in the past 48 hours.
Iran is like a mosquito on the US blokkus. Dem no dey do anyhow for dis kind matter.

Fuel here in Nigeria is now over 1k. Diesel over 1500.

Sloppy operation. They will be caught in no time.

The Iranian president doesn't control the IRGC.
Nigerians are just an embarrassingly ignorant people too lazy to even read up to get the full picture of what's happening.
Iran is not looking for a fair fight. It knows it cannot win that. All it seeks to do is to make this invasion as painful as possible for the US as possible.
Iranian citizens are used to pain and hardship. That country has been under sanctions since 1974. So bombing their power stations, schools and hospitals like the US and Israel are currently doing is just a minor inconvenience to them.

Iran however knows that the fat entitled ignorant slobs that most Americans are, can't stomach any form of hardship. So Iran seeks to push up the costs of energy, thereby making fuel prices rise and at the same time, threaten the petro-dollar. If economic distabilisation arises from it, then even better. That's Iran's thinking and that's why they have laid a siege on the strait of Hormuz.

The only way the US can get that strait open is by sending in soldiers. How many deaths of their own men can they handle? It may just be like Vietnam, the US used more bombs on Vietnam than all the quantity of bombs both allied and axis forces dropped in world war 2. The US killed close to 4 million Vietnamese while losing around 55,000 Americans but yet in the end, the US turned tail and left shamefully without achieving a single objective. The communists still took over.

Might is not all there is to be. Victory is not always an elixir. Sometimes, we need to pause and ask ourselves, is the cost worth it?

He doesn't control the IRGC.

These are the people the most incompetent NSA in the history of this country said are interested in peace

Trump is and has always been an idiot.

Look at the kind people Wike is empowering. Instead of channeling money to fix the school in question he wants to buy off the lady.

Everyone already knows this. Except that soulless creature in the whitehouse.

Kyari was caught in a sting operation carried out by the NDLEA. He was caught red handed. He was collecting money to help drug lords move drugs undetected. Yet, the Nigerian judiciary freed him. Our courts are useless.

Why does the national grid have a social media account?

Where's the FCT minister? Making noise around as usual. Byazhin is not a remote area by any means. And yet this could go down? No emergency response line, nothing.
