givedemwotowoto:
Outside the camera view are gun blazing soldiers, and families (women and children) taken hostage if their parents don’t sacrifice themselves. If you know you know

These men are hoping and praying that the IRG forces holding their families release them after their sacrifice, and the U.S. doesn't drop those "eggs" and "bananas" on them.
How did you get that info?

I pity all of you that believes this fake news. Iranian economy that is in comatose
Are you sure about that? Despite the sanctions they have been able to produce a lot for themselves e.g Medicines. Have you heard of Persian carpet? Do some research instead of assuming. I have personal experiences with Iranians on daily basis.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Kemi Badenoch Slams UK Govt For Failing To Vote Against Slave Trade Compensation by elevated2: 11:54am On Mar 27
kingthreat:
Slavery was a business that the elites in those days benefited from. It was like the oil money that the kings used to marry more wives. If not for the West who eventually decided to end the madness, we might have had baby factories in Africa.
I am not shielding the West either for slave trade as they indulged in the evil business. The main victims of slavery were the slaves who were commodity in the eyes of the buyers and sellers. Thank God for civilization.
It benefited the countries involved- Their churches, monarchies, banks(which still exist today), individuals who still got paid until some decades ago due to ending the slavery. It gave jobs to their society and so on.

In the 90s iI would listen to Radio KUDIRAT and the NADECO people would attack Abachas' government, thinking that they had the interests of Nigerians at heart. It was all about power grab . They are in charge now and can't even beat Abachas' records.

First image is range of Israel's Jericho missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear war heads.

Its believed they have 8,000 nukes and that they will be firing them off in all directions during their Samson Option. Every country in the red zone go collect.

Now this is the same people some idiotes here worship. A nation that acts as a bank robber turned hostage taker with a bomb strapped to his body.

Second pic shows areas on the planet to suffer a nuclear winter following these strikes.'

Continue supporting the synagogue of satan
First image is actually Russia's.

Politics › Re: FG Moves To Evacuate Nigerians From Middle East As Iran Offers Support by elevated2: 2:37pm On Mar 17
FreeStuffsNG:
Amid the crisis, Iran’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Gholamreza Raja, has expressed his country’s readiness to support evacuation efforts. He noted that Iran is cooperating with Nigerian authorities and that its land borders remain open for foreign nationals seeking to exit.

This is very commendable of Iran. They are not racists.

In Occupied Palestine, it is a battle to get out for everyone. Even seats on airplane are rationed until US government waded before only US citizens were allowed to get out. They want all the implication of the war on them to remain censored.
I have had a lot to do with Iranians. They are amongst the best humans. So lovely. From neighbours to Unis to church etc. I love and appreciate them a lot.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Is ‘Running Out Of Missiles’ - The Telegraph by elevated2: 1:28pm On Mar 05
BlackViper:
This is what happens when you prioritise someone else's problems over your own.

Over the past 3 years, Iran has basically turned its arms and weaponry industry into Russia's main supply for drones and rockets in the Ukraine War. These are resources which they would have needed for their own self defence.

Also, instead of concentrating on American and Israeli military targets, they have been firing indiscriminately at civilian populations mainly in Israel, but also across several other Middle East countries.

By comparison, the Americans and Israelis have quietly concentrated on destroying Iran’s rocket launching facilities and capabilities. The sad and unfortunate incident of the girls school that was struck which led to the deaths of 148 school girls, happened because the school was located near an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IIRGC) rocket launching facility.

It is possible that in less than two week's time, we may be entering into the next phase of the war which will be that of boots on the ground which will be led by the IDF, although Trump has said he will not rule out the possibility of American troops getting involved.
It was also about the money since they're under sanctions.

Botragelad:
How does Israel just bomb deep inside Iran whenever Israel feels like it? Where are those fancy Russian air defense missiles Iran bought? 😂

Why doesn't Iran scramble its jets, fly over, and hit Israeli airspace? Israel owned them in that 12-day war last year, and still owning them now. Hamas fans will swear it's the other way around, but nah.
They don't have modern airplanes due to sanctions. Even repairing their helicopters is difficult due to lack of parts
Health › Re: I've Been Having Insomnia For Over A Year by elevated2: 11:21am On Feb 27
as69:
Babysho, the elevated heart rate when you wake at 2-3am is worth paying attention to. That timing is significant — cortisol (your body's stress hormone) naturally peaks around 3-4am, and if your stress levels are already high, it can cause premature waking and make it impossible to go back to sleep.

A few things that may actually help that you might not have tried yet:

1. Magnesium glycinate — not regular magnesium oxide, specifically the glycinate form. 300mg about an hour before bed. It's one of the most underrated sleep supplements and is very safe. Many people notice a difference within a week.

2. Fixed wake time — no exceptions — Pick a time (say 6am) and wake at that exact time every day, even weekends, even if you slept badly. This is the most powerful thing you can do to reset your circadian rhythm. It builds sleep pressure that forces your brain to sleep properly.

3. Check your caffeine timing — Caffeine has a 6-hour half-life. A coffee or malt at 2pm still has about 50% of its caffeine in your system at 8pm. Even if you don't feel wired, it disrupts deep sleep stages.

4. Stop eating 3 hours before bed — Late meals spike insulin and keep your body in an active metabolic state when it should be winding down.

5. Get tested for sleep apnea — Waking suddenly with high heart rate at 2-3am and being unable to return to sleep is a classic presentation of sleep apnea or upper airway resistance syndrome. Has a doctor specifically suggested a sleep study? If not, push for one.

The sleep medications alone won't fix it if the root cause is cortisol dysregulation, nutrient deficiency, or a breathing issue during sleep. Hope you find relief soon.
Good one.
Plus- check your vitamin d level, exercise a lot and add meditation to your lifestyle. Also improve or change what you are eating.

Food › Re: When I Say Things Are Cheap In Nigeria, Lots Of People Will Argue With Me by elevated2:
Nnamdipapa:
Here is a bunch of banana I bought for N500, this would go for nothing less than $4 in Canada, please note these are organic bananas we are talking about not the extra-sweet, GMO tampered bananas in the west and I got this in Lagos meaning folks living in the suburbs might even be buying cheaper.

I also buy I big avocado for N400, do the maths and convert to $. When next you complain about Nigeria, remember we have cheap and easily accessible fruits and vegetables.
On what basis are you comparing what's produced in a country with another country that imports it? You have not considered export & import taxes, transportation, VAT etc. What a misleading narrative! Are used cars cheaper in Nigeria compared with the countries of exports?

''SANER CLIMES''.

I wonder what people would say if this happened in Abuja.

Many would say it's a sign Nigeria is failed and needs to break up.

But it happens in Italy and some are hailing it as 'Hollywood stuff'.

Next thing they'll suggest making a movie out of it.

Mssheww..
You would be surprised it was carried out by those from "3rd world" countries.
TV/Movies › Re: Tears For Enebi: Miami Beach Film Festival Selects Nigerian Film For Screening by elevated2: 9:13pm On Feb 07
SixSeven:
Once thing I notice about Nigerians is our never ending craze for external validation.

It has its positives and negatives. When you want us to keep forging ahead and never playing local, it is a good thing. In fact, I acknowledge it here



But in the quote above, if you listen to Mo Abudu, I am glad she has now found out that we don't need any international validation, let's build our own. Now that's where government comes in. Unfortunately, the government has not made the people proud of these contributions. For instance, Nollywood practitioners complained about government neglect. It was not until 2014 when the government of Jonathan recognized them and the Minister of Finance, NoI included this sector in our GDP. Our government does not appreciate art, so invariably, people will go outside and work for those who will recognize them and their work. Unfortunately, you cannot tell a story if you are not the owner. Those international people are continuing a post colonial legacy and they will continue to be a gatekeeper for our own stories.

The other part for me is that Nigerians are fond of show off. So international is a bragging right. That's why we are crazy about Grammys, Emmys and all manners of awards that do not belong to us! shocked

Until the black ants have a leader, they will continue to remain confused. Write your own story and own it.
While validation might be a reason I also think it has to do with that so many bad news about the country. So when a good news happens it is kind of relief and a thing of joy for Nigerians.

The secret is PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies as well as the increased power generation, which APC unfortunately have failed to sustain.

We thank God that PDP deregulation and prosperity politicians added1,400 Mws to the grid unlike their APC chochocho balablu fake promises opponents.

High on promises but too low for zero on delivery. That is All Promises Cancelled, APC.
I didn't know that. So after all APC did they can't even be on PDP's level?! Interesting

The crash in Gonnese France on the 25th of July 2000, rising operational cost and post 9/11 in the US became its albatross. However, many hearty congratulations to BA and AF for this piece of technology.
Yeah. Why about bringing this kind of plane back- This time 1x or 1.5x speed?? I fancied the concord back then.

Your action led Somalia into civil war and they have to seek for refugee and today they're now taking what belongs to Americans.

Samantha125:
While their ancestors came to Africa centuries ago and started enforcing Christianity on native Africans by conditioning them into detesting and demeaning their African spirituality as they considered it to be barbaric and demonic, we've now seen some of their descendants over the years slowly abandoning the same Christian religion to be practicing African spirituality here in South Africa... Some have even opened up about how their main aim is to share the African faith with the entire world.

Without going any further, here are white South African sangomas.

Fascinating. I remember the priestess of one major shrine in Yoruba land was white for many years. She was chosen when she visited Nigeria for a project in the 50's I think. I noticed when whites practise or do their Sangoma things they sound like the native America shaman .
