Cajal:Na, America and Israel were concerned about taking down the Islamic government of Iran. Their goal was Iran oil and Middle East dominance of Israel. If Iran is taken out, they are only left to deal with Turkey then they have absolute dominance of the entire middle east. Like I said on this forum, Iran has been preparing for this moment for the past 40 years. Someone said I was saying nonsense because "they took down Khamenei like a rat". Lol. Part of their key plan against the indomitable military power of the US and Israel was to cripple the entire economy of the Gulf state. It was a genius plan. It didn't require billions of dollars or the most advanced military tech. The Gulf account for 20% of the entire global energy supply. Kill that supply and the entire world is in trouble. Crazy spike in gas, fuel in the USA - Americans will cry Massive spike in gas, LNG in Europe - price is up 60%+ this week alone, the entire EU will cry Same goes for the other continent. Nigeria for example, Dangote has been hiking petrol price over the last few weeks, Nigerians are crying already, and we haven't even seen the worst of it. Imagine oil spiking to $120+. Trump is in trouble. Massive inflation + FED hiking real rate + public outrage. Russia will make serious money with this conflict and Ukraine is in serious trouble too. |
Russia will be one of the few top winners of this war. I'm just putting it here for future reference. |
Illiterates too boku for this country, esp this forum. Kai! Do you think Dangote gets crude oil in Nigeria for free? If last week crude oil was $60 per barrel and today it's $90+, all thanks to the current war in the Middle East, how do you expect Dangote to sell petrol today at the same ame rate he sold last week? You guys should think for a second. Price of crude oil is not set by Nigeria or the FG. Nigeria will sell her oil at the same rate as the global rate. Yes Dangote buys crude from the FG in naira, at the price set by the global rate and current exchange rate. The FG won't sell at a lower rate because Dangote is an indigenous refinery. In case you don't know, the FG also need the revenue from oil sales to run her budget and for FAAC. Many of you only went to school, you didn't learn anything. Keep cheering the the USA and Israel for that senseless war. We will all suffer the consequences together. They say Iran is losing; someone even said Iranians are lazy thinkers. Lol. Learners!

Svoboda:At last, a reasonable submission about the current war. Majority of people here don't know anything. I've said this before, there's no way USA will achieve regime change in Iran. It's impossible. That reality has started dawning on them. They thought Iran leadership will collapse after killing Khamenei and they will take an easy win like they did in Venezuela. The Iranian's decentralized structure was massively underestimated. First, Trump said it will be a quick strike. Then he said it will last four days. Then he said it will last a few weeks. Now, Pentagon is saying the war will last until September. EponObi: |
Lastmessenger2:The talk didn't breakdown. Oman was the mediator between both parties. On Friday, a day before the war started, Oman reported that they had progress at last and on Monday, both parties will iron out the technical details. Iran agreed to US terms. While waiting for Monday to come, US and Israel bombed them on Saturday. If the talk broke down, Khamenei won't be in his residence with his wife and granddaughter. He wasn't hiding. Their strikes against Israel and GCC, na ships dem use? This one knows nothing jare. Him just dey choke mouth as if he understands anything. Maybe you should learn about asymmetrical warfare before rambling about what you know nothing about. |
HacheNoire:It's just the beginning. I said in one thread yesterday that Iran is fighting asymmetrical warfare. Many clueless Nigerians don't understand. They think the US and Israel with their advanced weaponry are winning. |
Oya now! It's just the beginning. It's Nigerians with no thinking cap that are supporting this war. To them it's US and Israel vs Iran. They don't care so far it's their darling Israel that's in the ring - a country that hate them for being Christians and blacks for that matter. The war was needless and will only worsen inflation around the globe. It took years and a lot of pain before the world started getting relief from the Russia-Ukraine war - prices of grains esp wheat, oil, gas went through the roof. The dust has only started settling then you have the the dude in White House and his counterpart in Israel starting another needless war. Within 48 hours when this war started, prices of gas in Europe rose by 90%. Lol I'm just reading that energy companies in the Gulf are telling Iran they will shutdown their facilities for two months, so Iran shouldn't bomb them. So much for being allies of the US. The US has abandoned them and didn't protect them against the fury of the Iranians. It will be a long winter. Be prepared. EponObi: |
Lastmessenger2:"...Killed while talks were ongoing." The fact many of you aren't seeing or don't know this war started on the legs of illegality is worrisome, yet not surprising. He said lazy thinkers. Lol. Without the billions of dollar budget of Pentagon or HaKirya, Iran is crippling the global energy supply and logistics chain in real time. When the effect start hitting you here in Nigeria, we will reevaluate if they are lazy thinkers. |
Themandator:Mtchew! Gooner ni! You people think war is like what you watch in Hollywood films. Why is Vietnam not gone? Why did America run away from Afghanistan? Why is Ukraine with all the support and billions and weapons supplied by the EU and the US not able to deter Russia? Why hasn't Russia been able to defeat small Ukraine in four years? Go sit down for one place jare. If Israel and US is not going to invade Iran, the regime is going no where not to talk of Iran. And if they make the mistake of invading, they will suffer more defeat than in Afghanistan. For one, Iran military is way more sophisticated Iraq, Vietnam, or Afghanistan, or even Libya - Iran has the third best military in the Middle East. Two, Iran landmass is four times the size of Afghanistan with the same tough terrain; US will need about 2 million soldiers for invasion for any chance of success. Go and bring all the gravity bombs in the world, it won't be enough to fall Iran. How many missile you wan use? Only 4 days, and the US has used 400 tomahawk missiles - worth 5 years of supply. How much is a tomahawk? How much does a single Patriot, Tamir missile cost? How much is an Iranian Shahed drone? How much Shahed drones can Iran produce in a day? How much interceptors can the US produce in a month? Arguing with many of you here is pointless most times. A lot of you will learn serious lesson after this war is over. |
King2305:Satellite imagery + GPS-guided missile. When the US bombed I SWAP terrorists in Sokoto, they didn't use fighter jets. You started your post as if you sabi. Iran is fighting an asymmetrical war. Unconventional tactics like this shouldn't be surprising or beyond scope of reasoning. Vietnam and Afghanistan talibans fought the US military with similar tactics too. |
Iran has been preparing for this war, this moment for more than 40 years. This is not surprising. Those who think they will be an easy meat for US and Israel are awaiting a rude awakening. I even heard Pentagon will make a request for additional $50 billion from Congress soon. You never see anything. Already, the US is running short of missiles and want their defense manufacturing companies to ramp up production. Before any of you who know nothing come here to foam in the mouth, the US keep a separate supply they will never never touch for any reason. That supply is kept in case of confrontation from Russia or China. |
NairalandBishop:Here you are again with shallow opinion. Many countries were not directly attacked or invaded and they still join the world war 1 and 2. Countries like Italy, Turkey, San Marino, Romania, Portugal. You are not a Spaniard, so why are you helping them think their global policies? If they say they aren't joining, what's your business? By your thought process, since Spain is not attacked or have any business with the current conflict, they should start deploying their armiy, fighter jets, warships, etc to the ME because of your imaginary phobia of Islam? And you assume I'm a Muslim. Mtchew. Keep projecting to validate your insecurities. Nations like the UK you mentioned, did the Muslims you say are establishing sharia laws in the country invade them? Who accepted them in? Who gave them refuge? Who went on a rampage with wokeness and allowed the extremists the freedom to even think they can impose sharia laws? Did the extremists bomb them into submission? |
naptu2:It better be because I can't believe people can be so low in reasoning. If they check history, they will know Spain didn't join the world war 1 and 2 too. |
NairalandBishop:A lot of you are too ignorant on this forum. During the World War 1 and 2, Spain didn't participate. They chose a position of neutrality. Same with countries like Switzerland. I'm sure CR7 left Saudi Arabia for Spain for this same reason. If WW3 happens today, there are many countries that won't join, no matter their affiliation or cultural beliefs. Spain has started taking such stance. In fact, the elite will start seeking refuge in these nations, that if they haven't started doing so. I don't know what sharia has got to do with the war. You people just open your mouth waaaaaaa as if you're knowledgeable. The US - Israel - Iran war is all about Middle East supremacy. Nothing more. |
YourKarma:What are you doing here since PDP is being discussed? |
All these opposition news thread just empty today. It seems obidents don dey tire 😂 You no go tire kee? 🤣 |
Mrexcell:It's you that is being clever by half. Before the electoral bill was passed, the bill content was made available to the public for examination; there were many public hearing, consultations etc. it's not like the digitalization part was added at the last minute. The opposition spotted electronic transmission part of it before the Senate signed because they were able to read it. Are you telling me they didn't see the digitization of members data in the bill? There's no excuse abeg. And the jokers want to lead a country. Lazy folks. Even without it being stipulated in the bill, is it not expected that they should have the digital record of their members? |
The ADC should tell Nigerians why they don't have the digital register of their members by now, with the election just 10 months away. This requirement was in the electoral bill since the beginning and the bill was available to the public for many months and there were numerous public hearings on it. Is it that the ADC leadership didn't read the bill or didn't have analysts working on the bill content? What's their excuse this time around? Is this the work of Tinubu too? The level of unseriousness of this ADC, that call themselves main opposition, is unprecedented in the history of this nation. May we never this type of weak, clueless, aimless, unserious people at the corridor of opposition politics again. They are the ones who are making the 2027 election look like a walkover for Tinubu. Tueh! Tufiakwa!!!

If na Wike do this, everywhere for don scatter. It was a simple question. If you knew you will be defensive about journalist questions, why organize a media chat? You for kuku invite only journalists living in Abia then. This is one thing you can never see Tinubu do. Tinubu will accept any question no matter how petty and use it to communicate/publicize his policy. He uses situation to his own advantage. Small pressure, you don dey convulse. And our journalists are to be blamed tbh. They don't push back or ask follow up questions when they interview these public officers. They just eat up whenever they say. So in the rare occasion they are really plastered with queries, they think journalists are are out for blood. It's only Ruffy of Arise TV that put the heat on during interview, even though he oversteps boundaries and is selective. |
AustineE1:Keep coping. |
As expected. Na wen Alex Otti port everywhere go scatter. Best believe Otti is coming. EponObi: |
This is stupid lie to say sir. Let's even be real for once and leave bias out of it. 1. Obi through his terrible leadership influenced the factionalization and internal crisis of LP. Eventually, lawmakers elected through his hype in 2023 left and Obi himself eventually jumped ship to the ADC, without ever solving the issues. 2. The PDP started having issues in 2023 and you sir, Mr. Atiku, were one of the major factors that caused the crack by unwilling to cede the party ticket to the south. From G5 to PDP splitting into two - the Wike caucus and the Makinde caucus. PDP started moving from one court case to another. They have many pending cases in the court as we speak. And you sir, you are an hypocrite because you also left the PDP to the ADC - wasn't it about your personal survival too?Since 1990, how many parties have you rotated. You've been part of the APC too - you defected from one party to APC BTW. So why castigate those defecting as you've done in the past? 3. We all saw ADC's level of preparedness and performace during the FCT council election. Your party won only 8 out of about 3,000 PU. In addy, you couldn't even provide party agents to cover 3k PU in Abuja, whereas there are 200k PU to cover nationwide in about 10 months. Your candidate in AMAC got only 7 votes in his PU and couldn't even mobilize more than 10 voters in own base. Sir, aren't these politicians who left the sinking ships called LP, PDP justified for avoiding your ADC and going to APC? 4. Your ADC is no where close to being prepared for the 2027 election. With 10 months to go: - You've not done ward and LG Congress - You don't even have a basic digital register of your members. We saw your party spokesperson come on national TV yesterday to cry that your are not prepared and that INEC should do something. One question Nigerians are asking is: what were you guys doing when the public hearing and consultations of the electoral bill were going on? Which means you people knew nothing about the content of the bill that was in the public for months and were only focused on the electronic transmission part for cheap politics score. Optics over substance. This shows a high level of unseriousness and unpreparedness on your part. - You complained about the initial election date falling on Ramadan period, it was changed and you are still complaining about the new date. - Every bye election your party has participated since your coalition launched has been a disastrous outing. From one election to the next, there was no single sign that you guys were improving. With all these, why are you blaming and gaslighting governor for jumping into the APC? And if you noticed sir, Nigerians are now getting tired of your coalition unseriousness . They are no longer buying the "Tinubu is evil. Tinubu is killing opposition" narrative. Just go across the media and check public sentiment and opinion. Even people who had supported you in the past. It is sad that 10 months to the general election, people who thought your party is a viable opposition are already conceding defeat and many switching sides. We've never had this bad with regards to opposition in Nigeria. Your opposition is the weakest in the history of this country. Rather look inward and reevaluate instead of shifting blame and gaslighting Nigerians that Tinubu or APC is the problem or that defecting governors are selfish blah blah. The people are wiser now. You people are/were the creator of your own problem. |
On your mandate we shall stand On your mandate we shall stand Baba Habiba on your mandate Baba Seyi your mandate we shall stand 🤣🤣🤣🤣 E choke!!! 😋

gigabyte13:Aregbe nko? Even Amosun for Ogunola go collect 😂 |
gigabyte13:Walahi, e shock me when I discovered. How you go dey get issue with your governor in your home state and you wan contest as president? As how na?! No be from home support suppose start? ![]() Na after that 2023 election Fintiri collect back the "Waziri of Adamawa" title wey Adamawa state give Atiku. You should notice that the media and people no longer call Atiku the Waziri. ![]() |
keemsleek:Haaa, you are right. Abia and Zamfara are very likely come to APC though, esp Abia. |
gigabyte13:Hold wetin? Fintiri and Atiku are enemies. Atiku didn't support him during the 2023 election. Na Binani him support. Fintiri didn't follow Atiku to ADC. If not for the disaster in PDP, I think Fintiri would have stayed there. |
RichBoy247:Leave am, he's a learner. He thinks Tinubu hasn't thought of plans of sabotage and betrayal and doesn't have contingency plans in place. He thinks Tinubu is in the caliber of those Obi, Atiku. This man proved times without number he's an elite level strategic thinker. Even the way wrangled Trump and his madness should be enough for them pause and see Asiwaju is not their typical adversary. In 2023, he was outside the system and he still cooked like mad. Imagine what he will cook in 2027 as an incumbent. The opposition are not ready for the shock that bombard them. When I saw the way he won that election in 2023, I told people IRL that only death will stop his reelection - I said this as far back as 2023. |
toffyz:Bro, this is crazy even for me as a Tinubu supporter. I thought OBJ did too much in 2003 when he swept the country with the PDP wave. This present wave is on another level. Absolute madness! |
Onyeasi:THIRTY TWO, and counting... 32 out of 36... 88.8889%... With Alex Otti about to do medicals. The biggest machinery ever built in the history of Nigerian politics. We are learning Political Structure 701 in real time. Tinubu is the greatest African politician ever. Dem go bow for the result... eventually! In less than 10 months, we go see if na only one vote these governors have ![]() Someone corrected me. It's 30 not 32.... but still 30 out of 36 is mega. APC is waiting for Alex Otti. They should be able to get Dauda of Zamfara too. O ta lenu! Ata su e su e!!! ![]()
|
They will soon bombard this thread to shout "Tulumbu paid him billions of naira" ![]() Alex Otti is next!
