“It said: “The coalition leadership is not having any such conversation with any political party at the moment.” So there’s a possibility to have the talks if the courts rule in favour of the Gombe man and his group. |
EponObi:Shambles because a so called democrat who climbed the democratic ladder to success, makes democracy look like militocracy. |
PRP invited ADC and presented the platform as a viable option. This is politics. It is about arithmetics and calculations. They can leave ADC and move on if that should solve the problem. |
FreeStuffsNG:Sorry bro, you sound more ignorant of the events in the Middle East. He was correct. Aside from the Indian vessels, several bullets fired by Iranian forces were fired at a French ship and a British cargo ship, which was an inappropriate move considering the cease fire. You need to prove that you have better knowledge. I advise you to take some time to study the Middle East since the medieval days. For the purpose of this matter, narrow your study to the period from 1890 to 1979. Thereafter look at contemporary events since 1979 till date with no bias. Study the Cold War. Study the two power blocs and their roles in Iran. Study why the Americans got to Iran under the Shahs. Study the role previously of the USSR in Iran before and after the Cold War. While you study, please do not expose your bias as an Islamist. Keep your mind open and tell us what you studied. By the way, how is it that every country where the radical Islamists have ventured into, they have either ruined it or attempted to ruin it? Why is it that every country with honest and incorrigible leaders, who have come into contact with the West, are well developed? Why have certain countries rejected that religion and its followers vehemently? |
Kobicove:It is not your business which version of Israel Is in existence. You know nothing about it, so do venture into a topic that you lack knowledge about. Maybe you want to tell us that the Iranians are not the same Persians in the same Bible that we know and. Face your Quran jejely. And with your little education, you do not know that it is religious war hidden under an irresponsible and wicked ideology? With your little education, you cannot read between the lines? With your little education and little social media exposure, you do not hear radical Islamists say that America and Europe MUST surrender to Islam or get killed? Or that Islam MUST take over the whole world? Or you do not hear of the word “jihad”? With your little education, you do not assume that educated people are here who you can learn from? Thankfully the Europeans and Americans are waking up and beginning to understand the menace of some violent people who hide under Islam to perpetrate wickedness. Hopefully also the evil people will be pushed out from Nigeria and the country can have some peace again. |
Kobicove:First you must pity yourself. Trump started a senseless war? And Iran sensibly planned to destroy the same America and Israel since 1979 right? The radical Islamists meticulously executed killings all around the world since 1979 and common sense tells you that no one should fight them back? Commonsense does not tell you that Iran first started the war forty seven years ago? Maybe some of you read your own stories the other way round. Maybe the plan for apocalypse by you group makes you assume that people are incapable of reasoning properly? Maybe you think that the rest of the world should be imprisoned by the Mullahs, who have used ideology hidden under religion, to confuse their people and enslave them. While you accuse others who want to live in a peaceful world - in decent societies, free from terrorism, raping and killing of innocent women and children -, do not pretend that you are not worried. While you accuse others of not thinking about expensive petrol in Nigeria, you blind yourself to the simple fact that your terrorist regime in Iran is the cause of it all. Your regime in Iran planned it all and waited carefully for a day like this when they would show the world of their capability to hold the world economy to ransom. You blind yourself to the fact of the same regime sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria and making the whole country unsafe. They planned it very well and played on the sentiments of their supporters and blind followers, labeling those who they have attacked for many years as genocidal. The cowards who stock in trade is to hide military weapons in the homes of innocent people, while they rest peacefully in their own homes. The evil people whose stock in trade is to use fellow humans and shields. Dey sleep, dey get yeye hope. |
God1000:If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. That aptly describes you and all those like you who live in illusion, believing that the despicable regime in Iran has the power that it pretends to show. There was no such thing as drones attacking any American ship. Oga, if that happened, the war would have resumed immediately. “ Iran has responded by describing the attack and hijack as an act of “piracy”, and threatened retribution. On Monday, hours after the attack and capture, Iran said it had no plans to send its negotiators for talks with the US in Islamabad. https://aje.news/4yg3oc” The above is from Al Jazeera, your Iran supporting news channel. That’s all Iran could do. Call Trump a horrible name, while their cowards leaders are not able to e tire into street, talk less of traveling to Pakistan for the peace talk. The Iranians just talked and no drones fired. You very well encourage them to restart the war. |
Pacesetter123:“So, what is her offence exactly”? Her offence is called unlicensed trading is arms aka illegal arms dealer. As for supplying arms to non state actors, you are not in the position to determine who received the supplied arms. While a lawful resident of the United States of America, she engaged in facilitating arms dealing with a hostile nation. She knew her offence as it was stated that she was routing her payments through Turkey and other countries. She knew that it was a federal offence, but the love of freedom in America made her continue what she would it have dated in Iran. Arm dealers have the license to carry out the business. Maybe you did not read that your favorite terror regime in Iran blackmailed her to her into that trade. Her father’s inheritance was seized by the terror regime and they told her that her only escape route would be that business, registered in America as an American citizen, to enable her buy back the seized inheritance. Blame her completely and not the decent American people. |
falopey:No deportation for her yet bro. She committed a crime in the USA. She will be tried and jailed in the USA. Jail time may be up to twenty years. Her citizenship will be cancelled. She will de deported upon completion of her sentence. |
Gerrard59:The question is: where are the jobs for African citizens with no documents? Where are the jobs for people who get in to the country with tourist visas which by the way, are the major visas obtained to travel there? Tourist visas are not extended after expiration. In two weeks from the day of your entry, you begin to hide from the authorities. Chinese Malaysians are Malaysian nationals. Work permits are granted to Filipinos, who mainly work as Indonesians and people of other Asian countries who seek to work there, in the factories and as housekeepers. For Africans, it is a longer route, with student visas or the very expensive and almost impossible to afford ten year visas, avoiding to get into trouble while you wait. |
Omooba77:Make or mar, as they call it. Arsenal MUST either win or draw the match. We got ourselves into this situation. A loss simply equates with handing the premiership title over to Man city. God forbid bad thing! |
Where are the jobs in Malaysia by the way? The cost of getting into Malaysia with your visa, personally processed by you at the high commission, is far more than going anywhere in Europe and the USA. After your visa, you purchase your ticket and YOU MUST have a minimum cash of two thousand US dollars to present to Malaysian immigration on request as a first timer, upon your arrival. You MUST also have your verifiable health card. How many women venture there? Where are the jobs in Malaysia, when you only have a tourist visa? If you have a few millions, why not try your hands on some good investments in Nigeria, or better still some great skills that will make you richer? You also can try your hands on importation of goods that can make life better for you. Please stay off stress. This “madam” business is such a horrible and dehumanizing practice. For too many years it was Italy. Now, no country is spared by these horrible men and women. Get to all West African countries and you will find innocent and decent Nigerian ladies camped in apartments, with lies of traveling to Europe. They end up as prostitutes to fend for themselves and the men who take them there. Some are not able to venture out of the apartments for fear of exposing the place to police. |
Consulting with Obasa, who is mentioned among those eyeing the governorship seat. If he fails, will he returned to a fractured PDP, or LP, as the ADC ticket very likely will be won by GVR. |
Aside from the creation of Anioma state, Senator Ned Nwoko has been attracting projects in his senatorial zone. His efforts to see the electricity issue in Okpai sorted out is well noted. Hopefully, he can defeat Okowa. Again, whoever wins between the two of them and Ken Pela, will pursue the same Anioma state creation successfully. As for Anioma state, it is a done deal. |
callmetade:Happened to you already. |
callmetade:People who talk with no sense need to have such calamities befall them, to enable them experience it first hand. Perhaps that’s what you need. |
She must be shouting ye mo ku o. Go front no possible. Go back no possible. The moment she has the opportunity to remove that ceiling board that she’s carrying, she will never try it again. |
dappydozzy:Well, I guess you need some clarification. Firstly, the United States Navy is the greatest on earth, when you talk about capacity. That the Chinese have more naval vessels, does not confer the qualification on them. In terms of tonnage, the American navy is bigger. The Americans have a defence budget close to one trillion, while the Chinese are on 250b dollars. Added to that is the American technology superiority. So China has the biggest navy, but that does not translate to having the most powerful navy. Iran displays numerical superior manpower and armor while Israel holds a technological edge. Iran is ten times the size of Israel, yet in 47 years Iran with all the proxies has not been able to defeat Israel. When you say “international waters”, you refer to waters outside the jurisdiction of a particular country. In context, the strait of hormuz is sorrounded by Iran on the north, Oman and the UAE on the south, or the let’s say the other end. The strait of Hormuz connects the Persian gulf, the gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Iran attempts to exert authority on the entire area and has applied sea mines to control the movement of sea vessels. The Iranians have also added tolls to show power and economic control. Is it legal under international maritime laws? An outright No. The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait, as it is used for navigation between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean; that is, it connects areas beyond the control of a single state. It therefore enjoys a special status under international law that enshrines freedom of navigation. Under the law of the sea, the right of transit passage applies in international straits, ensuring free, continuous, and unobstructed passage for all ships and aircraft, both civilian and military. This right is anchored in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and is also considered to reflect customary international law binding on all states. The prevailing view is that the right of transit passage in an international strait cannot be suspended, even during armed conflict. This means that under the law of the sea, coastal states, including Iran, have no authority to prevent, restrict, or disrupt the regular passage of vessels, even during hostilities. The prohibition is not limited to a formal closure of the strait but also applies to functional impairment of the right of passage, assessed according to the cumulative effect of a state’s actions. Creating a dangerous environment that deters passage by engaging in attacks, making threats, or using naval mines violates international law, even without an official declaration of closure. Iran seeks to evade its obligation to respect the right of transit passage in the strait on the grounds that it is not a party to the UNCLOS and due to its persistent objection to recognizing this legal regime as binding customary law. What have the Americans, or let’s say Trump done? Blockaded the entire area connecting the strait of Hormuz to force the Iranians to retreat. That’s a simply strategy by a superpower. That’s why America is a superpower. That power is displayed by a certain Donald Trump, who knows how to make use of it. Now look at the 1962 Cuban missile crisis which you referred to. The Cold War was raging since the end of the Second World War in 1945. Two superpowers with their blocs trying to outdo each other. The two superpowers protecting their territories, interests, allies and bringing the world dangerously close to a nuclear war. Nikita Kruschev, the then Soviet leader, made the move of shipping missiles to Cuba, which was the American territory. That was resisted and the American government quarantined the area. There’s a difference between a blockade and a quarantine. Quarantine differs from a blockade primarily in its legal framing and intent; while both involve restricting maritime movement, a blockade is typically viewed as an act of war under international law, whereas a quarantine can be portrayed as a defensive action. That’s what’s happening in Iran presently as the war is not over. “Confrontation is against international law”. I wonder how you came about that, looking clearly at the fact of the irresponsible act of the Iranian leadership, blockading a very strategic area, that impacts the whole world economically and tolling the route. Where have you ever heard such? |
What kind of evil people are these? Why is the world suffering under such people, who practice such evil religion? How are they able to escape Justice with such ease? What’s happening in this country? How have the northern leaders become so heartless, watching such vampires destroy the country? When will this country wake up and fight back? Is it not to allow citizens bear arms and defend themselves? |
They can only talk. No action. They made themselves very weak and spineless. For the people of the United Kingdom, ensure to vote for the Reform party and reclaim your country from the hands of weak leaders, who only think of themselves. What do the chickens intend to defend with their so called defensive approach? How can they restore the freedom of navigation? They could not do it since the war started. They refused to contribute militarily and now they want to show that they are able to something when there’s nothing that they can do. Trump with this blockade, has shown that the USA has the most powerful navy and they use it efficiently and effectively, with Iran not been able to offer the slightest challenge. |
Readinglamp:My young friend, I suggest that you keep enjoying football matches, instead of dabbling into such hefty matters as this that require deep thinking and calculations. That way, you will not embarrass yourself on social media spaces. |
What happened in that place where you slept? They just took you to a place a where you should sleep. Just like that? You no get hotel money? Abeg. Something went for something there. Immigration wey breeze no fit cross their face without dropping. Abegggii. Incorrect documentation and they let you in? Even Nigerians who return home with foreign documents sometimes get returned, not to talk of foreigners. Abeg. |
That’s his business. That’s his warped opinion. By the way, the Reform party will take over soon in the UK and such weaklings as this guy will be swept away. Trump and Netanyahu have one business and the business is to protect the world from terrorists. That effort covers the speaker and the entire United Kingdom. |
Kushites:You just talk with absolutely no knowledge. Stop showing off please. In the other post you claimed that Iran had bashed Israel. Now you say nuclear weapons are meant to be a deterrent. If nuclear weapons serve only as deterrents, when then did you evil Mullahs aim missiles at the Israeli nuclear site? “THEY HAVE BUILT A LOT OF THINGS…”. What does it matter in the very obvious face of attempt by the terrorists, to arm themselves and their proxies with nuclear to put an end to the human race, just to finalize their much expected armageddon? Between you and the person who you quoted, you are the slave to propaganda. Watch, listen and learn. Get small shame abeg. |
fergie001:Yes, Anioma will become a state this year. You may call it double speak on the part of Akpabio, but be reminded that Benjamin Kalu only last week suggested a fusing of Anim in Anambra/Imo with Anioma, to make Animoma state, with Asaba as the capital. What was the business of Okowa in contesting as the Vice President, a move that added more petrol to the fire that consumed PDP in 2023? If he contested again Ken Pela/LP in 2023, he would have been easily swept away. The tide was seriously against Okowa/PDP in the 2023 elections in Delta state. Ned Nwoko made the move to APC, as one opportunity to realize the creation of Delta state. Okowa’s reputation among the citizens in in tatters, especially the civil servants. If he secures the APC ticket, how can he defeat Ken Pela and the ADC this time? |
Readinglamp:Na im make una dey fail for school. Una no go learn from teacher. Una no go read well to understand. No be only summarize, na winterize. |
Kushites:Supporter of genocide keh? Let’s recap on that first. The dirty terrorist regime in Iran assumed power in 1979. To herald their entry, they killed their close to five thousand of their own citizens in one year. What do you call that? Entry fee? Saddam Hussein knew them and their dangerous Shia Islam human destroying ideology. They fought a war for eight years and over five hundred thousand died. The vampires continued in power and pursued an agenda of encircling the nation of Israel, with one intention rooted in ideology….to wipe Israel away from the face of the earth. They have pursued that failed agenda for forty seven years, building proxies and arming them with different destructive ammunitions. They have consistently failed. They always lose by very wide margins. Israel is one tenth of the landmass and population of Iran. Add the proxies to that and in forty seven years, the blood sucking vampires have failed. Israel has always prevailed. Is it not a shame that such a big country cannot defeat a small country in forty seven years? Genocide right? You probably do not understand the meaning of that word. Hezbollah, Hamas, etc, who are non state actors, position ballistic missiles in the homes of civilians. They fire their missiles into Israel with the intention of killing millions of Israelis and fulfilling their failed agenda. The wise Israelis built shelters long ago, knowing the evil plans of their persistent enemies. Your people fire missiles from civilian homes and the innocent Israelis citizens shelter in their bunkers. Your people do not have shelters. The Israelis reply to the exact locations of the missile launchers and you shout genocide. You no get shame. The Israelis destroy Iranian military infrastructures while the evil regime fire cluster bombs to kill Israeli civilians. To you, that’s not genocidal. The Israelis respond carefully and it is genocide. Who has battered who please? The Iranians censored information. Meanwhile go and read news from their Tv channels. More than 7,000 lost their lives in Iran. In Israel it was 24. What about infrastructures. Go and read and tell yourself the truth about who was battered. By the way, the blockers got blockaded. No movement around their maritime areas. Strait of Hormuz completed blockaded by the Americans and Israelis. No going out, no coming in. No income for the evil regime and time is fast running out on them. Very soon the decent citizens will rise up against them. Economy in shambles. Weapons destroyed. All they do is boasting. They should please fire at one American war ship in the Gulf sea or Arabian Sea and let’s have the next report. It is by American mercy and intervention that the speaker, the President and the foreign secretary still live till this day. No be only philosophy. Na psychology. Uncle the pained big loser. |
What a shame. What an embarrassment. What a disgrace. What should we expect when corruption is at the root of the failure. Why not ask Netanyahu to show the recipe for dealing with terrorists? Why not give Netanyahu a little opportunity and terrorists will flee without delay? Netanyahu is the only leader who knows they dealing with terrorists requires an eye for two eyes. |
Readinglamp:And to you, Okowa will not pursue the same plan until it is realized? The earlier those of you who continue to confuse yourselves with your identify begin to know who you are, the better. You cannot change your Igbo identity. If monkey go London come back, na still monkey e be. Okowa has always maintained that he is an Igbo man from Agbor. Go and read all the news about him. He started that long before he became the Governor of the state. He assumed the Governorship because it was the turn of the Igbos. How do you want to change that? Above all, it is too late to change the narrative. You probably recently did not hear Akpabio confirm that the next SE state would be Anioma. You probably also did not hear Benjamin Kalu (the deputy speaker), last week advocating for a fusion of Anioma and Anim in Anambra to make Animoma state, with Asaba as the capital. So whoever you vote for between Okowa and Ned immaterial now. They both pursue the same agenda for Anioma state creation. If Okowa wins, he will only complete the job started by Ned. Some of you naive, believing that Ned will just sit down and watch Okowa take his position. By the way, if Ken Pela will run on the ADC platform, he will definitely win this time and pursue the same agenda. Go up come down, na you lose sleep. |
helinues:“ It shows how unintelligent APC members are. Even the likes of yarimo, FreeStuffsNG, seunmsg and others do not know what APC mean in military circle” You see your life. Someone said that earlier and you instantly proved it |
What a shame. What an embarrassment. What a disgrace. The man who is supposed to be an unbiased umpire, now getting exposed as a biased leader and possible a member of the ruling party. While the country burns from the evil activities of terrorists, the leadership focuses on how to return and remain in power. |
iamfraud:There are too many of them. Nigerians of all tribes participate in different forms of crimes in India. |
