Romance › Re: Accepting Transport Money From A Man Without Seeing Him Could Land You In Jail by educatedfool: 8:57am On Aug 28
tollyboy5:
No issue is too small. Are you really half Nigeria? What does Iraq looks like. Try to visit Babylon 😁.
Yes, I'm really half Nigerian, and I'm currently in Basrah, Iraq. Honestly, it's much more beautiful and peaceful than the media often portrays it. The people are warm, the history is incredible, and there are some really beautiful places to see. A lot of the instability Iraq has experienced has also been shaped by foreign intervention and the interests of Western powers, so the reality on the ground can be very different from what you see in the media. And yes, I'll definitely try to visit Babil Province while I'm here, just to see the ancient Babylon ruins.

Imagine a magistrate waking up early in the morning to preside over a transport fare case...🤦🤦🤦
Imagine a magistrate cancelling his breakfast because he has an urgent case to preside over: The State vs. A Woman Who Accepted N3,500 Transport Money From A Man She Has Never Seen.

The prosecution is presenting 12 witnesses, the defence is objecting to everything, and the court clerk is reading the transaction history as evidence. Meanwhile, the magistrate is trying to establish whether she actually entered the vehicle.

Very important national matter indeed. sad

Naija media should gear up to roll the red carpet for her once again and give her sympathetic interviews where she's portrayed as a victim.
I have no issue with whatever the court decides, by the way. One person's immigration status isn't going to be the reason your country prospers or struggles.

Foreign Affairs › Trump Threatens To Bomb US Oman If It 'gets In The Way' Over Iran Deal by educatedfool(op): 9:38am On Aug 18
President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman - a US ally - if it "gets in the way" of his administration's own talks with Iran, Fox News reports.

The US and Oman have been negotiating separately with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war.

A reporter for Fox said the US president made the threat to Oman while using an expletive during a phone interview.

Earlier in the day, Iranian officials said they were close to finalising a deal with Oman. Meanwhile, the future of talks between the US and Iran is unclear as a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides is expiring.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump was asked by BBC News if he was seeking an extension to the MoU, to which he replied: "No."

Since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February, Tehran has largely blocked the Strait of Hormuz - through which about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas usually passes. Reopening it has been a key point of discussion.

Oman borders the southern side of the Strait and says it is a neutral country in this conflict. However it has suffered a number of strikes from Iran and is now playing a key role in negotiating with Tehran to reopen the waterway.

Washington has pursued its own efforts to secure the reopening. Fox reporter Trey Yingst quoted Trump as saying: "If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the shit out of them."



It is not clear what Trump thinks would constitute getting in the way of his ambitions for a deal.

During the same interview with Fox, Trump also said the US had a direct backchannel with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is a major military, economic and political force in Iran.

An IRGC spokesman denied Trump's claim.

A spokesman told semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim News: "There are no talks taking place between IRGC officials and the Americans, and this lie by Trump is merely fantasies caused by the delusions and nightmares he has suffered as a result of defeat and desperation in the war."

A map of the Middle East shows Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman and Iran. The Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz are labelled, highlighting the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that connects the Gulf to the Gulf of Oman.
Trump made his threat to Oman a few hours after Iran had said the two countries had reached an agreement for ships to travel through the Strait.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters "an understanding has been reached regarding the map of the transit route".

He added that both sides would finalise the details before issuing a joint statement. Oman has previously described these talks as positive.


Earlier this month, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a full reopening was dependent on Iran receiving compensation from the US for what Tehran described as violations of the MoU.

Reuters - citing an Iranian official - previously reported that Tehran was seeking fees of between 5% and 7% of the price of cargoes from vessels who travel through the Strait.

As the US pauses the war with Iran, is Trump really running out of weapons?
While Trump said in his call with Fox that he had a direct backchannel with the IRGC, he said he was in no hurry to bring the war to a close.

"They're good poker players, but they're dying," he was quoted as saying. "I have no time schedule. I'm not in a hurry."

The Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran, signed on 18 June, was designed to bring about a ceasefire and at least partly reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But it fell apart a short time later when both sides resumed strikes.

On 8 July, Trump said the ceasefire was "over" and blasted Iran's leadership as "scum" and "cuckoo" after fresh exchanges of fire.

As the MoU neared its formal expiry on Monday, Trump posted on his Truth Social network: "The number one goal is, and always will be, that Iran cannot have, in any way, shape, or form, a nuclear weapon."

Education › Re: The Rich Don't Buy Time They Buy Freedom by educatedfool:
oluwaseunamos33:
Do you mean the wealthy people doesn't go to primary/secondary school? grin grin grin grin
I hate to break it to you, but yes, many of them don't.

The richest families in the world often don't send their children through the same public primary and secondary school system the average person goes through. They attend elite private schools, are homeschooled by world-class tutors, or receive customized education built around business, leadership, networking, and real-world experience.

School and education are not the same thing.

Many wealthy people value learning, but they don't necessarily rely on the traditional school path. They can afford alternatives that most people can't. That's why you'll find billionaires and business dynasties educating their children very differently from the average family.

Funny how you mock the idea of peace, yet casually cheer for another "Hiroshima treatment." If you truly cared about peace, you wouldn't be fantasizing about the mass killing of civilians. That's the very definition of hypocrisy: preaching peace while celebrating collective punishment when it's the other side.

US President Donald Trump says he has cancelled planned attacks on Iran “subject to being able to rapidly make a deal”.

He claims Iran and other countries in the Middle East had asked him to hold off any strikes and that “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to” including on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The announcement came after Iran’s ⁠Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any “aggression” by ‌the US and Israel will ⁠be met with a “decisive ⁠and proportionate response”.

An explosion at a port on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast that set fire to two ships, including a U.S. gas-storage tanker, was caused by a drone attack, Egyptian authorities said Thursday, the first targeting of the country during the current Iran war and a new threat to a vital energy corridor.

The Egyptian cabinet said the fire at Damietta Port, which houses a key liquefied natural gas hub, had been brought under control with no casualties reported. It said that no party had claimed responsibility for the incident, which took place Wednesday.
