Sentiments aside, he can actually take care of them better than the father

He is simply saying you can't compare the love of a father to that of stranger. No doubt, the money is there. But if the children need an assistance, it's easier to approach your father than a stranger.

I'm talking from experience. Any time I'm stranded, I can comfortably call my dad for help. You can't compare such when dealing with a stranger.

Let's not forget this is something that's habitual. It's not a one-time thing.


Nevertheless, may God bless e-money. Praying and hoping that they uphold their promises.

Tehran is tense, two days after Iran's unprecedented direct attack on Israel.

Worried about war and its impact on Iran's already flailing economy, a significant proportion of Iranians oppose what they see as the reckless adventurism of the country's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), which fired more than 300 drones and missiles on Saturday night.

In a letter sent to BBC Persian, a long list of Iranian activists both inside the country and abroad criticised the IRGC's actions and saying "No to warmongering!"

Many Iranians also see the Iran-Israel confrontation now emerging from the shadows as being orchestrated by the Iranian government rather than reflective of the will of the Iranian people.

This perception is underscored by a heavy police presence on the streets of Tehran - ostensibly about enforcing strict Islamic dress codes requiring women to cover their hair but which many suspect is mainly about crushing any possible protests.

Some decision-makers fear that if Iranian security forces and the IRGC's command centres are hit in a war with Israel and the US, this could reignite nationwide protests that erupted in 2022 after the death of a young woman in police custody.

Some graffiti has appeared on walls in Iranian cities - "Israel, strike the supreme leader's [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's] house," reads one. "Israel hit them, they lack the courage to retaliate," read another.

The government has its own billboards - "Tel Aviv is our battleground, not Tehran," reads one.

Immediately after the IRGC attack, supporters of the Islamic Republic celebrated and a banner warning Israelis that "the next slap will be fiercer" was hung from a building in Tehran.

"I believe it was the right decision to attack Israel to prevent further killings of Iranian commanders in Syria and elsewhere," one woman said in a voice message sent to BBC Persian.

But another said: "Iranians themselves are in a state of war with the current regime. We harbour no animosity towards any nation, including Israel."

Meanwhile a woman said she was concerned about a wider war. Such fears appeared to prompt people to scramble to stock up on essentials like food and fuel, with pictures showing queues forming outside petrol stations in Tehran and supermarkets inundated with shoppers.

With the official inflation rate standing at just over 40% and tens of millions of people struggling with the cost of living, a military confrontation with Israel was the last thing most Iranians wanted.

The value of the Iranian rial fell against the US dollar after the IRGC attack, as it had already done after Israel's earlier attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria.

Many worry that, sooner or later, the military escalations will hike the prices of many goods, from mobile phones to home appliances and many foodstuffs.

The Iranian government sets the price of some essential items such as bread and fuel, and lets many items be imported on a preferential exchange rate (in other words cheap foreign currency). But still the price of many goods follow the open market exchange rate.

Iran's economy has been struggling since the US left an international deal to limit Iran's nuclear activities in 2018 and re-imposed crippling sanctions, particularly curbing Iran's ability to export crude oil.

On Tuesday, Iranian newspapers were focusing on international pressure on Israel to show restraint but also attempting to allay any economic concerns.

Iran's press - which reflects a range of political viewpoints, albeit within unwritten rules - has been largely supportive of the IRGC action

Keyhan insisted that there was "economic calm by showing Iran's power". Hardline Vatan-e Emrouz said Sunday night's emergency UN Security Council meeting called by Israel was a "night of isolation" for Israel, while reformist newspaper Arman-e Emrouz noted a "global wave to end tensions in the Middle East".

Online, the Islamic Republic's supporters have been posting under the Persian-language hashtags #punishing_the_aggressor and #we_made_them_regretful.

However critical posts under the English hashtag #IRGCterrorists have swept Persian-language X, urging Western countries to designate the IRGC a terrorist organisation and paying tribute to protesters that they say the IRGC and other security forces killed during the 2022 nationwide protests.

Popular former footballer Ali Karimi, based outside Iran, meanwhile posted a photo of intertwined hands overlaid with the Israeli flag and a previous version of the Iranian flag that was in use before the 1979 Islamic revolution.

"We are Iran, not the Islamic republic," he said.

We need to increase the amount of crude oil we export by preventing oil theft.

Nigerian politicians and big grammar. "Egregious remarks"

According to BBC, "99% projectiles intercepted".

While Africa is praying and counting on God of Israel, Israel is praying and using the wisdom given to them to defend herself with an Iron Dome. What an irony.

Virtually all the missiles were intercepted despite the fact that Israel have been fighting Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah yet they were able overcome the barrage missiles from Iran.

According to BBC, "99% projectiles intercepted ".

A country of 9m. Indeed, small but mighty.

professor100:
Israel can't defeat Iran without the support of UK or US. If not for their intervention, by now, they will have been in a big mess. They were intoxicated because everyone was begging them to free Palestine, and have gone to cross their boundary.

Iran have more firepower and resources than Israel. Israel (10M population) can only bully small countries like Palestine (5M population), and not Iran (100M) that are war-ready always, and hate them.

I will preach for peace from both sides, and I'm not in support of both sides.

Let's not forget that the same Israel have been fighting Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah. All Iranian proxies. Yet they're able to defend themselves against direct attack from Iran.

Hashabiah:
Iran wey dey run uranium enrichment program...?

Continue dey deceive yourself. E go be like play

He's right. The reason all sanctions was withdrawn was on the condition she (Iran) will not develop a nuclear weapon. Do they have uranium enrichment program? Yes!

According to Iran, it's purely for energy and research. Whether this is being done secretly, that I can't tell.

But they're being monitored by IAEA to ensure this do not happen. Israel too has sworn not to let this happen.

You can Google list of countries with nuclear weapons for further information.

farady:
Stop spreading take news

He's right. Israel has called for an emergency UN security Council meeting. Although, Israel is not a member, they had to go through a member- Malta.

There's nothing wrong in that approach. It's just laying your complaint before the Elders.

Iran, too, have written to UN citing self defense as reason for their attack.

The above submission does not mean Israel will not retaliate.

He should tread carefully. Election for Edo no be for gentleman.

There's no problem provided it can have positive impact on the masses. Anything or idea to move the country forward, is what we need right now.

so na so u wan take old and mumu till u die? U still dey believe these lunatics? Bomb Israeli soldiers with nuclear bomb they will tell u one died and half injured. Only one American soldier have been dying in wars since the Vietnam war. America and Israel are clowns. Same rubbish they said after saddam attacked Israel in 1991, na the mumu later said 100 people died decades later. That u even still follow news in this age and time makes u a baboon

That you don't follow news in this age makes you a chimpanzee.

Israel says its Iron Dome missile defence system has helped protect the country against rockets fired by the Hamas militant group from Gaza.

The Israeli military says that without it, casualties would have been "far higher" during the current conflict. However, some incoming rockets have fallen on built-up areas.

What is Iron Dome and how does it work?
Iron Dome is designed to protect against incoming short-range weapons. It operates in all weather conditions.

It uses radar to track rockets and can differentiate between those that are likely to hit built-up areas and those that are not. Interceptor missiles are only fired at rockets expected to strike populated areas.

The system consists of batteries located across Israel, each with three to four launchers that can fire 20 interceptor missiles. There are both fixed and mobile versions of the system.

How effective is Iron Dome?
Israel's military has claimed a success rate of up to 90% for Iron Dome.

Hamas said that on the first day of its attack it launched 5,000 rockets, although Israel says it probably launched half that number.

The rockets were fired in a short space of time in an attempt to overwhelm Iron Dome.

Others have been fired from Lebanon by Hezbollah.

The Israeli Defense Forces said more than 8,000 rockets have been fired at Israel since 7 October.

Some rockets have evaded Iron Dome and fallen on built-up areas causing several deaths and injuries, according to Israeli media.

On 27 October, four people were injured when a rocket hit an apartment building in Tel Aviv.

However, Israeli military spokesman Lt Col Jonathan Conricus said: "The number of Israelis killed and wounded would be far higher if it had not been for the Iron Dome system, which has been a life saver as it always is."

Empiree:
omo ale kiriyo. When it is daylight tell them to show you inside Israel. It is looking like Gaza. I'm watching live and seeing Israelis running. If this is WhatsApp I would have recorded short footages for you to see. CNN is a cooperate media. Don't you understand that?. I don't watch mainstream media.

Go and watch Scott Ritter, Norman Finkelstein, Useful Idiots, breaking through news, breaking ground etc. Stop watching CNN and BBC.. They are Zionist outlets

Lie. Apart from a 10 year old boy (for now) who was injured outside the capital, virtually all the missiles have been intercepted by the Iron dome while some were shot down by the United States.

Ibime:
I hope they have confidence in Tehran's own air defence

Iran has an enormous amount of missiles and drones. But their air defence system is not as strong as that of Israel. If Israel decides to retaliate, expect some damages.

The decision by Israel to retaliate will depend on the level of damages caused by the drones and ballistic missiles. Let's not forget Israelis maxim, "an eye for an eye, a tit for tat".

Already, Israel has made it clear that they will retaliate should there be an attack for Iranian soil.

If world War 3 breaks and there are two sides:

1. Russia, China, Iran, Yemen, North Korea

2. NATO, United States, Israel, and UK

Which side will you stand?

iluvdonjazzy:
yet Nigeria will still tell you there's no money.

We've mortgaged our oil in an exchange for loan. The reason dangote had to source for crude oil outside the country.

The price of crude oil to hit the roof.

Iran has launched drones at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night.

It said the wave could take hours to reach Israel.

It comes after days of anticipation that Iran was preparing to attack Israel in retaliation for a strike which killed a top Iranian commander.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country's defence systems have been deployed and that Israel's armed forces were ready.

"I established a clear principle - whoever hurts us, we hurt him. We will protect ourselves from any threat and we will do so with coolness and determination," he said.

scapegoat for what?

Have you seen anyone punished for abuse of naira? Why Bobrisky? There're so many videos on YouTube of celebrities abusing the naira. Why is EFCC interested in this case? Why is EFCC not arresting politicians who are equally guilty of the same offence? You see why I used the word ' scapegoat'. They just want clip his or her wing since they can't nail her for cross-dressing.

Mind you, there was no option for fine.

allthingsgood:
scapegoat for what Even the judge sprays money at parties. Can we stop being hypocrites

Did you even read my comment? Do you even understand the meaning of the word 'scapegoat'? You even said it yourself, "even the judge sprays money at parties". This implies they are just looking for a way to punish him or her?

If we're to go by this law, he or she shouldn't be the first offender. There're lots of videos on YouTube about celebrities spraying money? So, why Bobrisky? The reason I used the word - scapegoat.

It could be an avenue to clip his or her wing since there's no specific law in our constitution against cross-dressing.

They just used him or her as a scapegoat.

They just used this guy/woman as scapegoat.

Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to six months in jail with no option of fine.

The judgement was handed on Friday morning, April 12.

Recall that on April 5th, EFCC arraigned Bobrisky in court on a six-count charge ranging from Abuse of the Naira and Money laundering. The court, however, dismissed the money laundering charges but convicted him for Naira Abuse after he confessed to the crime. The court also ordered that he be remanded in EFCC detention in Lagos


The judge then adjourned hearing for judgement into the case to April 9. However, the court couldn't sit due to the April 9 to April 11 Eid-Fitri public holiday.

I don't in anyway support the killing of our police officers. However, if you see what people go through in the hands of these officers at any security check point, you will be forced not to have sympathy for them.

If you are traveling to Akwa Ibom from Umuahia, for every army check-points, the drivers are usually compelled to pay some money before they continue with their journey.

Unfortunately, the dead cannot defend itself. This is why CCTV camera is very important. But then there's also an issue of privacy and safety which makes the deployment impossible.

It is possible the girl was used by an enemy to kill the victim. It could also be as a result of self defense. It could also have been premeditated by the accused to defraud the victim.

Like I said earlier, if CCTV was deployed, it would've made things a little bit easier.

I'm not in support of Tinubu. But let's be sincere with ourselves. Under the administration of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, a whole lot of unlawful policies were introduced and implemented and the Northern Elders Forum turned a blind eye to them. Abeg make dem no complain. Tinubu till 2031.
