Sanwo Olu don chop money pass his Oga at the top. First it was allocation of CofOs for landed properties his Oga did not know about. Now it is purchasing of Oil blocks, probably something his Oga does not know either. Now his Oga may be unleashing his attack soldiers to teach him not to "over-chop".
You see this our padi-padi government, you are to chop wetin dem approve say make you chop. Anything more than that, you are on your own 😂

I suspect so too. He may be after him as usual.

He will now who is truly the way of salvation. He will now go and face the GOD of Israel in eternity.

Iran's getting its head kicked and losing badly. Their top generals and officers keep dropping dead while their infrastructure gets blown to ash and they haven't taken out a single senior IDF commander. 😅

Those propagandists like God1000, FreestuffNG, WritterNg, hachenoire keep flooding the front page hyping every fake "Iran is winning" story. Israel on the other hand is systematically dismantling the entire Islamic regime.

I told you folks from day one: reality beats your AI-generated lies and Ayatollah fanfiction. Keep shoving that lies to the anyone who cares to swallow, but Israel and the US are draining the life out of Iran's regime. That's realisty.

Hatred eats them up. Being hateful is really a curse and a burden too heavy to bear

Do these men don't understand that anyone who dies without CHRIST JESUS would go to hell?

See what hatred can do. Hatred has brought him and his cohorts to this stage.

Hatred kills.

Let's set the record straight. Netanyahu is the troublemaker in chief,
He wanted that war, he was at war long before Trump took over.
He aggravated Iran then called for a backup.

Bibi was at war with who? Saudi Arabia? Qatar? UAE? Pakistan? Egypt?

Who bros?

panafrican:
If the Arabs put their guns down today, Israel will occupy the whole middle east and stretch into Paskistan.

How many Arab countries has Israel taken or attempted to take? What have been their attempts to do so?

Israel is only about recovering her lands stolen by Arabs. Go and check the size of their land taken by their neighbours.

Below is the map of ancient Iseael and Judah. Kindly show us the ancient Arab and Palestine maps too.

Mirasteel:
Meaning Israel hates arabs too since they committed genocide in Gaza killing innocent Palestinians.

Really?
So how many Arabs are in israel?

How many of them occupy good positions there?

panafrican:
Let's set the record straight. Netanyahu is the troublemaker in chief,
He wanted that war, he was at war long before Trump took over.
He aggravated Iran then call for back up.

So you think that a sane country with patriotic leaders like Netanyahu, would sit by and tolerate iran sponsor Hezbollah, hamas, islamic jihad, houthis, and other islamic terrorists groups agains her? Una think Israel na una country where islamic terrorists dey do point-and-kill steadily while the government sits like a lame duck.

Israel na the antidote to islamic terorism

May God bless Benjamin Netanyahu a d Israel, he started the war because Israel was more at risk due to proximity to Iran than US. Why you and your likes haven't gone to Iranian embassy to get your visas to join them in Iran, still surprises me😏😏😏. Israel lives rent free In your head, you can't even sleep anymore💔💔💔

Make dem get Iranian visa you dey talk?

Bros, dem never born dem to reason am. They cannot afford "short sleeve" or "long sleeve". Instead of dem to go iran, make dem bend. They would even prefer Israeli visas.

Dogalmighty17:
Notice how empty the thread is? His paid sycophants who litter every other thread in his defense know they can't objectively point to any achievement of the man.

What has Tinubu made better? Is it health outcomes? Security? Reduced poverty? Quality of life? Improved economic opportunities? Increased power generation? All of the above have worsened under him.

The man himself cannot come out and use 5 minutes to sell his achievements. A president who has refused to engage with the people he leads. Utter lawlessness, massive pilfering of the states resources, elevation of base and questionable characters into sensitive government positions and looking the other way as Nigerians are killed like flies by rampaging jihadists is all he has been able to achieve.

When they shamelessly come here, you will hear the following:
1) He initiated......
2) He proposed....
3) He signed........
4) He reviews......

Nothing tangible or realistic. Nothing that has positive impact on the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Check out what the claimed he did at Lagos.

This a very good thread.

Why am I not surprised??

When you are presented with facts, you start talking something else.

Calm down bros. He is an APC/Tinubu/Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah supporter. That's how they reason.

Deadly missile strike in West Bank highlights lack of protection for Palestinians

Threatened by Iranian fire and falling debris, Palestinians hear air raid sirens from settlements, but most have nowhere to go for cover, and few know how to deal with danger
Nurit Yohanan

Today, 4:53 am

Over the last several weeks, Iran has begun habitually firing missiles containing cluster munitions at Israel, raining dozens of small bomblets over urban areas and sowing chaos and destruction.

The submunitions, which can challenge air defenses, lack the explosive power of conventional warheads, but still pack a punch strong enough to destroy small buildings, flip cars, and maim or kill those in their way.

Though directed at Israel, the deadliest such attack has not been suffered by Israelis, but by West Bank Palestinians, who often find themselves in the path of Iran’s imprecise weaponry and without the protections Israel affords its citizens.

On March 18, four women ranging in age from 17 to 50 were killed when an Iranian cluster bomb slammed into a West Bank salon where they had been preparing a Ramadan break-fast meal. Nine other Palestinians were wounded in the strike, including a 4-year-old girl.

The incident shook the town of Beit Awwa in the southern West Bank, home to around 15,000 residents. More broadly, it exposed what locals describe as a lack of protective infrastructure and awareness among Palestinians in the West Bank regarding the threat of Iranian missile fire.

While Israelis receive warnings of incoming missiles to their phones and have community-wide sirens telling them to head to a protected space or seek cover, Palestinians have no such system and uneven access to the alerts sent by Israel’s Home Front Command. Most only learn of the danger by hearing the wailing of air raid sirens emanating from nearby settlements.

But even when they are warned, the bigger problem is finding somewhere to shelter from the incoming fire.

“We hear the sirens from the nearby settlements, but there are no shelters,” said Mahmoud Barhoum, mayor of the West Bank town of Beita, which was struck by missile fragments last week. “Where are people supposed to go?”

A resident of Beit Awwa told The Times of Israel that those in the Hebron area town also hear the air raid sirens from nearby Israeli settlements. But even so, many still do not know how to respond or how best to protect themselves.

According to the resident, who asked not to be named, Palestinians are also largely unaware of the danger posed by munitions even after they impact. Following the deadly cluster bomb attack, well-meaning residents gathered at the site, unaware of the dangers that could still be posed by unexploded ordnance, the resident recalled.

“My sister, who works with the Red Crescent, and I went there to move people away, so that nothing would happen if there was an explosion from parts that had not detonated when the missile hit. But no one was aware of the danger,” she said.

When Iran launches missiles at Israel, the IDF’s Home Front Command sends early warnings to a wide area where sirens could sound in a few minutes, and once the projectile nears, it activates sirens in any area determined to be at risk of getting hit by a missile, interceptor, or fragments from either.

In addition to sounding the early warnings and sirens from public loudspeakers, notifications with the information are also sent to phones in the relevant geographic area that have the Home Front Command app, which is freely available to Palestinians or anyone else.

During the deadly Iranian attack that hit Beit Awwa, Home Front Command warnings were sent to much of the southern West Bank, as well as parts of southern Israel.

Anyone in the village with the Home Front Command app would have received an alert, but its unclear how widespread its use is among Palestinians. Those who spoke to The Times of Israel said they typically hear warnings only from sirens blaring in nearby settlements and not from their phones.

In the same way, Israeli air defense systems shield Palestinians in the West Bank as a byproduct of the protection they provide to Israeli communities. Because most settlements are in close proximity to Palestinian population centers, and given the wide impact zone of ballistic missiles, attempts are made to intercept any threat heading toward the area.

But air defenses are not perfect, especially against cluster warheads, and even intercepted missiles can continue to pose a threat to anyone caught outside of a reinforced structure.

Not a single shelter
A few hours after the deadly attack on Beit Awwa, the northern West Bank town of Beita was pelted by debris from an intercepted missile.

Barhoum, the mayor, told The Times of Israel that one piece of debris struck a home directly, wreaking enough damage that the house is now slated for demolition.

Another fragment hit a high-voltage power line, briefly cutting electricity to the village.

Nobody was injured, though that was far from guaranteed given the lack of protective infrastructure, which Barhoum described as the most serious problem.

The issue is one shared by all Palestinian areas.

Though Israel commonly built public shelters in its cities throughout its history, it has never done so in Palestinian areas governed by its military administration.

Since 1992, Israeli law has required the construction of a bomb-safe room in every new home. Around the same time, the Palestinian Authority was established and began managing civilian affairs for most Palestinians in the West Bank, including housing construction.

Unlike Israel, the PA did not build public shelters or require them in newly constructed homes. It has not publicly explained the decision, though it is likely rooted in a long-held perception that missiles and rockets targeting Israel do not pose a threat to Palestinians.

In the part of the West Bank where building is overseen by Israeli authorities, safe rooms are mandated in new residential construction, including for Palestinians, a Defense Ministry representative said. However, Israel rarely approves new housing for Palestinians in areas under its control.

According to Barhoum, the lack of shelters is “not only in Beita, but anywhere in Palestinian Authority areas in the West Bank. There is not a single shelter.”

In Beit Awwa, which is adjacent to the Green Line, the four women had been inside a modular structure made of aluminum. The walls were likely thin enough that they would have heard the siren sounding from the nearby Israeli town of Shekef. But they were also too thin to provide any protection from the cluster munition about to rain death upon them.

In harm’s way
The Iranian missile campaign has created a new reality for West Bank communities, which have rarely been hit by rockets fired by Hamas from Gaza or Hezbollah from Lebanon.

In contrast to the relatively short-range projectiles launched by those terror groups, Iran’s ballistic missiles are launched from some 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) away, and are usually aimed without precision.

The result is that Palestinians are facing, for the first time, a sustained missile threat.

In October 2024, when Iran fired a massive volley of hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel, the sole direct fatality was a man in Jericho who was hit by a fragment from an intercepted missile.

During the June war, no Palestinians were killed, though missile fragments fell in the West Bank on several occasions.

In the current war, even before the deadly incident in Beit Awwa, numerous pieces of debris from intercepted missiles fell across the West Bank.

The Palestinian Interior Ministry said that between March 7 and March 12, teams from the Palestinian police, civil defense rescue units, and the Red Crescent responded to missile fragments that fell in the districts of Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, and Salfit.

As of March 22, there were 198 incidents involving falling debris in the West Bank, Palestinian police said. Pieces can range from shards as small as a hand to fuel tanks the size of a bus.

Aside from the four women killed in Beit Awwa, Palestinian police also attributed a fifth death to the attacks, after a man watching a missile attack fell from a tall building. Authorities did not specify where or when the incident occurred.

Barhoum noted that, beyond protective infrastructure, there is an urgent need for adequate medical facilities to treat casualties in the event of further attacks.

Visiting the mourning tent for the four women killed in Beit Awwa — Mais Razi Masalma, 17, Sahra Razek Masalma, 50, Amal Matawa, 46, and Aseel Masalma, 32 — Fatah spokesperson Maher al-Namoura used the opportunity to urge Palestinian leaders to provide more and better medical equipment.

Namoura, joined by the local governor, said more advanced medical equipment was needed at the hospital in the nearby town of Dura, where the wounded were taken. He also called to expedite the completion of additional hospital wards.

The construction of shelters was not mentioned.

Staying in
The PA only began issuing guidance regarding what to do during attacks following the Beit Awwa deaths, underscoring the degree to which the tragedy may be shifting perspectives regarding the dangers of missiles.

In advice published by the Palestinian interior ministry, residents were told that, given the security situation, they should “remain in safe places, stay away from impact sites, and avoid gathering there.”

The statement did not specify what constituted safe locations.

Barhoum said that he has been advising residents simply to remain inside during missile attacks. He said he had not received any instructions from the PA on this matter, in his capacity as mayor.

It remains unclear to what extent the deaths and the new guidance may change behaviors, with protective options largely lacking for even those who would heed the warnings.

But at least some are now taking the threat more seriously.

"To be honest, I was one of those people who, when there was a siren, would go outside to see where the missile was landing,” said one Beit Awwa resident who asked to remain anonymous. “Now, after what happened, it’s clear I won’t go outside anymore. I will go to the nearest [safe] place available and tell others to do the same.”

What caused the explosion? So na iran cause am? How you take know?

Una lives no easy at all

Netanyahu?

Shebi Iran been kill am.

@FreeStuffsNG

How far with the "burial" of Benjamin Netanyahu that who Iran "killed" last week? Has it been done?

We were inundated last week with posts and comments by the supporters of iran on the killing of Benjamin Netanyahu.

So I ask Iran supporters, did iran kill Bibi as you guys celebrated last week or wasit all lies as usual?

Omoboricash:
If you can afford to pay your children school fees , we have thousands of people who could not afford. During my days, i know so many students who dropped out just because of fee.
May u ask ASUU chairman about the 2009 agreement that was just signed at the beginnimg of this year.

If you dont know you ask. Dont just be master of ignorance.

Not everybody could see what the givernment is doing on economy. For those who knows much than you and i , they have given positive nod to government policy on economy.

Just be open minded , dont close ur mind to positive thing that is happening around you.

Bros what has tinubu done for ASUU? Tell us bros.

Who made those parents as you said not to be able to pay their children's school fees? Who plunged them into the poverty? Has your APC-Buhari-Tinubu not been in power since 2015?

Bros how many Nigerians are benefiting from the so-called NELFUND? How much are they given? Do you know that whatever NELFUND gives is LOAN that must be repaid? So you think that the peanuts it gives is for free?


So with the billions of dollars borrowed, the mad increase in taxes, levies, etc, the increases in import duties, the increases you guys claimed that have been recorded in oil and solid minerals, etc, NELFUND and lecturers" salary increase are why an ordinary Nigerian should vote for tinubu? Even with the trillions allegedly saved from petroleum subsidy removal, na these be what he has done to benefit an ordinary Nigerian.

OSUigboFlatHead:
It rather should be Kwankwaso - obi
Kwankwaso is not Obi's mate in all ramifications.
The duo will definitely be a waste of time which will get Tinubu a smooth ride

If they are brave and truthful enough to show you the actual results of the 2023 elections, you would delete this your comment.

Omoboricash:
Go and tell the parents of university undergraduate who are benefitting from Nelfund. You can also go to ASUU and convince them not to vote for PBAT.
Yes we have challenges of insecurity no doubt about it. I ask opposition to mention what would they do different to make life better for nigerians

You are indeed funny

So these are why an ordinary Nigerian ought to vote Tinubu? This is the height of "planlessness"

If I may ask, what are they benefiting from NELFUND and what has lecturers benefited? The less than $150 added to lecturers you mean? Is that why a reasonable lecturers should vote for Tinubu?

Let's assume that the above is even true, what percentage of Nigerians benefit from these?

So N200k is what would make someone vote for Tinubu? Poverty is really evil.

So with the billions of dollars borrowed, the mad increase in taxes, levies, etc, the increases in import duties, the increases you guys claimed that have been recorded in oil and solid minerals, etc, NELFUND and lecturers" salary increase are why an ordinary Nigerian should vote for tinubu?

Bros I dey shame for you.

They do not know the devastation USA and israel has done to Iran. They do not the heat on the Iranian government. Dem dey nairaland and Facebook dey make NOISE.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes, calling them a “dangerous escalation” and warning they could signal preparations for a broader ground invasion.

But you were part of the ceasefire deal. You agreed to disarm Hezbollah. Why have you not done your part of the deal? You guys want israel to keep quiet and look on like the government of one countrt of concern, while terrorists overrun israel bah?

IDF chief approves deeper Lebanon offensive, says fight against Hezbollah ‘only just began’

Israel expands buffer zone in southern Lebanon, targets bridges and supply routes and accelerates Gaza-style home demolitions; Lebanon warns strikes signal a ground invasion and attempt to isolate the south from the rest of the country.
ynet correspondents | published:19:25

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has approved plans to deepen Israel’s ground maneuver in Lebanon, signaling a further escalation in operations against Hezbollah as the military expands its campaign along the northern border.

Zamir approved the plans in coordination with the General Staff Forum, division commanders and brigade commanders operating in the northern sector. The IDF said Sunday.
“Iran is our primary effort, and the northern arena is an additional central front. They are interconnected,” Zamir said. “The Hezbollah terrorist organization is a central arm of the Iranian regime and made a grave mistake by joining the campaign against Israel. This decision harms both Hezbollah and the state of Lebanon.”

He added: “The message is clear: there is no safe place for the regime and its proxies. Any threat to Israeli civilians will be met with a determined, precise and powerful response.”

According to Zamir, Israeli forces have struck more than 2,000 targets in recent weeks, including dozens of weapons depots, and killed hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists.

“The campaign against Hezbollah has only just begun,” he said, adding that once operations against Iran conclude, Hezbollah “will remain alone and isolated.” He warned the fighting would be prolonged.

The announcement comes as Israel continues to expand its operational footprint in southern Lebanon, pushing deeper into territory in an effort to move Hezbollah terrorists away from the border and reduce threats to northern communities.

In some areas, the IDF’s security zone now extends between 9 and 11 kilometers into Lebanese territory. The expansion follows a strategic decision by Northern Command not to evacuate Israeli border communities but instead to conduct a defensive battle inside Lebanon.

Israeli forces, including the 162nd and 36th divisions, have carried out targeted ground operations to destroy Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure. Troops have raided military compounds, uncovered weapons caches, and killed more than 10 Hezbollah terrorists in recent operations.

A senior military official described the approach as slow, methodical and heavily supported by firepower.

“Villages in the second and third lines of homes are expected to be empty after evacuation warnings. Anyone remaining is considered a terrorist,” the official said. “Operations are therefore conducted aggressively, with extensive firepower and advanced technology. Many lessons have been learned from the fighting in Gaza.”

As part of the expanding campaign, the Israeli Air Force has intensified strikes on infrastructure used by Hezbollah, including key bridges along the Litani River.

One of the most significant targets, the al-Qasmiyeh bridge on Lebanon’s coastal highway near Tyre, was struck twice on Sunday after an earlier warning to civilians. The bridge is considered a critical route connecting southern Lebanon to the rest of the country and has been used to transport weapons and operatives.

The IDF said the strikes are intended to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines and prevent the movement of terrorists and weapons toward the Israeli border.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel had ordered the immediate destruction of all bridges over the Litani River used for “terrorist activity,” as well as an acceleration in the demolition of homes in frontline villages.

The policy reflects what Israeli officials describe as a Gaza-style approach, in which structures in combat zones are systematically destroyed to eliminate threats and create buffer zones.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes, calling them a “dangerous escalation” and warning they could signal preparations for a broader ground invasion.

“These attacks on infrastructure and vital facilities, especially bridges over the Litani River, are a prelude to a ground incursion,” Aoun said. He accused Israel of attempting to sever southern Lebanon from the rest of the country and described the actions as part of a plan to establish a buffer zone and expand Israeli control.

Aoun also warned that targeting infrastructure could disrupt humanitarian aid and constitute collective punishment of civilians, urging the international community to intervene.

Despite the escalation, Israeli defense officials have so far refrained from striking Lebanon’s national energy, economic or government infrastructure, citing concerns that such actions could trigger wider escalation and strengthen Hezbollah’s standing among the Lebanese public.

Officials warned that broad attacks on state infrastructure could foster solidarity with Hezbollah by portraying it as a defender of Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Israel’s broader military effort remains focused on its ongoing campaign against Iran, with operations in Lebanon running in parallel as part of a wider regional confrontation.

Israeli officials say the dual-front strategy reflects the interconnected nature of the conflict, with Hezbollah viewed as a key Iranian proxy.

Zamir emphasized that Israel is preparing for a prolonged campaign.
“We will not stop until the threat is pushed away from the border and long-term security for residents of the north is ensured,” he said. “We are ready for a long campaign and will continue to act as required, both offensively and defensively.”

As the fighting intensifies, the situation along Israel’s northern border appears set to remain a central front in a broader regional war.

Tinubu shouldn’t just seek reelection, he should first justify it.
What exactly would his campaign promise be this time?
And what has he done to convince Nigerians he deserves another four years?

Wait, wait, wait bros. You dey wait for the justification of why Tinubu should seek for re-election? I wish you long wait. By the time you have waited for 600 years, without any iota of the justification, you go advise yourself.

Na over 600 years you go wait so!!!!!
