You and I, along with others who have little understanding of the war, as well as the ordinary people of Iran (not their government), American people and the Gulf nations, are the real losers. The rise in prices triggered by this conflict is affecting everyone.

The real beneficiaries are Russia, arms dealers, and other countries that rely heavily on crude oil exports for revenue.

Nigeria could have benefited more if we had functional refineries. Relying solely on Dangote’s refinery is not enough.

Some of these defections would have made sense if the new electoral law provided room for compulsory upload of electoral results. With the ruling party fully in control, I don't see the possibility of ADC making major impact. Tinubu is not like Jonathan that had to condone alot of things. He no send anyone.

He ought to have furnished the Public with a copy of the Court "Stay of Execution" (which is usually for 7days, btw) and served the other Party, even if just by pasting it on the Walls of the Secretariat, using Court Bailiffs or are we supposed to take the word of an Agbero/ Motor Park Thug, on face value, without seeing any actual CTC Court document?

You're right. Unfortunately, we live in a country where alot of things are taking for granted.

The judgment has been appealed, and a stay of execution has been duly entered.

Both parties should sheath their swords and await the final ruling of the Supreme Court.

I have no issue with this arraignment to court, but it raises a question: why are some individuals accused of corruption moving about freely without any interference? Some have even been appointed as ambassadors by the current administration. If El-Rufai were still aligned with the present government, would the ICPC have arrested him?

Why didn't they invade Tompolo's domain?

Aba made Trump. That's what he's.

I hope this is not equally aimed at impressing men too?

Thank God FCMB is there. Let's start my savings with them.

Iran is attacking US base in those gulf countries, they have warned before that if America strike them they will obliterate all American bases in MiddleEast.

Are the airports and oil refineries part of US base?

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the Iranian government is wi.ck.ed. Attacking countries that are not directly involved in the confl!ct raises serious concerns. If the targets were United States facilities, it might have been easier to understand the motive, but extending att@cks to unrelated nations only escalates tensions unnecessarily.

Abeg where una dey get una news? This news no dey BBC or Aljazeera. Na wao. To think this information was approved by a moderator without verification.

One of the funniest news that I have read in recent time.

This news is not on BBC or Aljazeera. I wonder where CNN do get their news from

It is quite unfortunate. The whole situation seems to be getting w0rse each day. The w0rst part is that the army and the FRSC have also joined in the extortion. The army together with the police will stop commercial vehicles, and if you are a young man with wavy hair, they will take you aside to search your phone. This usually happens along the road between Okigwe and Umuahia.

Reminds me of when he was licking microphone during campaign.

*How many protests did Sowore organise to push for my freedom? Sowore’s claim of fighting for the masses contradicts his alleged daily lodging expenses of N450,000 at a popular Lagos hotel."

Sir, the highlighted part of your response clearly explains the reason for your alignment. We understand that if you cannot fight them, you join them, but own it and stop beating around the bush. You are neither the first nor will you be the last. Reno, Cubana both the boss and his apprentice and Bewala have all joined the ship.

They don't plan well when they make it big.

If we want to defeat Boko Haram or insu.rgency in Nigeria, we need to involve Isr.ael. Their terrain looks similar to what we have in Nigeria, and we need their experience and intelligence gathering techniques. They have mastered how to fight this war even more than the US. Virtually all the Iranian leaders except the president and the foreign minister have been k!lled. It is high time we engage them in our w@r against terro.rism in Nigeria.

The problem is not with the true people of Lebanon but the mi.ltia group (Hezbollah) residing in Lebanon.

Nkapi or shrew rat.

Edo governor should be the wo.rse governor in the history of Edo state. A governor that's willing and ready to work should make clam.ping down of opposition their number one priority.

Everyone is feeling the heat. Second tenure never startooo

This guy thar talks anyhow on social media especially against Peter Obi. Hmm. What has he said this time. He must have stepped on the wrong toes. Unfortunately for him, not everyone ignores like PeterObi. I pray and hope nothing happens to him.

US had to stoop low to steal technology from Iran Super Power indeed, meanwhile Russia has developed Oreshnik that they have no answer to

If they did why are they buying Shaheed from Iran?

It was the era of might is right. When Iran was Persia, it was as powerful as both USA and Israel combined. It invaded any nation it wanted, conquered, killed men, women, children, animals and even deported some.

There was no global outcry because there was no globe, just a bunch of countries and empires doing what they could and liked. When Iran was Persia, people didn't protest in Nigeria as it overan any country. Neighbours only wished and prayed to whatever deity they believed for protection.

The crimes of powerful nations against weaker ones were totally satanic and sardonic when Iran was Persia. When some parts of Iraq was Babylon, same crimes happened. When other parts of it were Assyria, same story.

When Italy was the Roman Empire, same atrocities, if not more took place. The Greeks, The Macedonians, the Ottomans, the British, the Spanish and every Empire that existed did all that. The last of them was Nazi Germany and it didn't shy from magnifying evil and artrocities. Technically the USA isn't an empire as the Persian or British empires were, but it is still as powerful as they were.

The selfish interest of the powerful empires and nations, even to the detriment of the weaker ones has stubbornly remained a constant. The powerful nation is never driven by any altruistic or divine purpose, they are always driven by the insatiable egos of their rulers and interests of the Nation no matter what it costs the weaker nations. That hasn't changed today.

There are more Christians in Iran than in Israel, more Muslims in Israel than Christians. This is for those who take sides or show sympathy rigidly based on religious sentiments and affinity. Saudi Arabia is regarded as the birthplace of Islam, yet they are ally to America and never chant "dead to America and Israel".
Same goes for Kuwait, the UAE, they are Muslim contries by identity yet they have convivial relationship with the USA which hardliners in Iran see as the SATAN. My point is, if you are taking sides based on religion, you are simply an idiot refusing to consider obvious facts.

However, my focus is on the weaker nations. To survive sometimes, you make a deal with the powerful nation. That's how weaker nations were spared of total annihilation when Iran was Persia, they made a deal on the terms and conditions of Persia. It was no symbiotic deal, the best a weaker nation could get is plea for some leniency and concessions.

Here is Iran today, blessed with oil and gas in such quantities that could turn the nation into one of the wealthiest in the world. Instead their leaders are pursuing a religious ideology and nuke ability. These pursuits hasn't worked out for them, it has brought them woes. Why insist on them at the detriment of the common people?

Once again, I'm limiting the scope of this piece to survival. Does Iran have right to own nukes as some of their counterparts,YES, but that's not gonna be my focus. Japan, Germany and most of the wealthy western countries to which Iranian citizens run to for a better life aren't nuke nations and they have freedom of religion but not religious ideology. Besides Israel, Iran's closest neighbors like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, The UAE do not have nukes and are flourishing in peace and prosperity.

Don't tell me about human rights or anything. To have nuclear weapon is not a human right. It is already unfortunate for humanity that some countries possess it, one more having it doesn't translate to human right.

In any case, this doesn't canonise America and Israel as saints doing God's will as some deluded christians think. The invasion of Iraq, ouster of Ghaddafi of Libya, military actions in places like Afghanistan should teach us unforgettable lessons about USA's foray into the "might is right" heresy. So, this is me saying that the Iranian leaders uncannilly brought ant infested gays into their nation, not an endorsement of Israel and the USA. It is about survival, but fanatics rather die and sacrifice others for their ideologies than survive.

Iran should learn how weaker nations survived when Iran was Persia and apply it now. It is easier today to avoid wars and invasion, far much easier than it was few decades going back. When same America came for Nigeria with the promise of ending 'christian genocide', the naive excitement of many people quickly gave way to frustration and disilussionment as the Tinubu government found a way to make a deal and now seem to be in partnership with the USA.

No more bombings, no threat of invasion again. It looks like Uncle Sam has got what he is looking for, and wiping out our terrorists, bandits, corrupt leaders and agents of insecurity isn't it, or maybe not a priority yet.

Might is not right. Right is also not might, don't just fight because you are right when you don't have the might. Our Lord Jesus taught this wisdom about making peace with an aggressor if you can't match his might at war, in Lk14:31

When Iran was Persia, eggs weren't this available and affordable, now they are. All we need to survive and thrive are eggs not nukes.

Maitunbi:
So why can't they just make the cheaper alternative?

They have one already.

BodyCount:
Lol
He said Iran copied it from Israel
DA F T
So if Israel has the original idea, why can't USA just copy it from them, since Israel is even under USA?
The way some of you think ehnn
No carry this kain brain train children o...

You're the one that's daft. Go and read about lucas and shahed then come back and reply. That you lack manner or they failed to instil one in you does mean you can come and be calling people names. Go and read about how the shahed came about. Btw, US had their own kamikaze drones which was used by Ukraine against Russia.

Maitunbi:
So why can't they just make the cheaper alternative?

They've achieved that and it's called LUCAS.

AJSfan:
you mean the USA version can intercept missiles? They will still have to rely on the very expensive interceptor missiles to stop iran's drones

Not to intercept but to strike. Striking with expensive missiles worth millions doesn't make sense when they can strike with LUCAS that's around 32000 usd.

BodyCount:
Shame
Copy copy
Super power indeed

You forgot that even almighty Russia had to rely on the same drone to fight Ukraine. Iran too copied the idea from idea from Israel.
