A model society , not the kind of nonsense Tinubu is running here

Nigerian government is modeled after America. Have you seen how American president move around? Yes I know Nigeria is poor and America is rich but the Nigerian system is modeled after America

Can't he see the person that posted them at the bottom of posters? Why not direct his anger at him instead of disturbing people? If not that your brother was once a governor who would have known you too? So this is case of pot calling kettle black

Desperation. It will lead to nothing

Why can't they just leave people alone? Why do USA and Isreal love killing so much?

richeeyo:
For every Reaper short down
They were able to locate the system that finished it off

that's not the point

SpencerForbes:
But USA can sanction it, while didn’t they attempt trade when it was sanctioned? I’m done engaging y’all. If they were that strong, they’d have attempted trade since they are ‘world power.’

are you even serious? What do you mean by attempt trade? Was Iran throwing their oil away all these while that USA "sanctioned" them? They were selling their oil, they are still selling their oil. They couldn't care less what US say

SpencerForbes:
I’ll explain this in simple Nigerian terms for those in my mentions. Read carefully, because I won’t repeat myself before I log out.

Imagine Mr. Chinedu has kids (Zainab and Ade—for Federal Character) and he normally sells a bag of rice for 50k.

Suddenly, Customs seizes 10 bags. That’s 500k "potential" money locked up. Now, the Government (USA) tells him, "Okay, you can sell that rice now," but immediately they flood the market so the price crashes to 20k. Instead of 500k, Chinedu now has only 200k.

But here is the catch: Chinedu’s priority is paying school fees (250k per child), but the Government tells him: "You cannot touch this money for fees. You can only use it to buy food and malaria drugs for the house. And we must track every kobo you spend."
Between Chinedu and the Government, who is winning?

Secondly, look at Ahmed (China). Ahmed was buying "black market" rice from Chinedu at a cheap "distress" price. Now that the Government has opened the market for everyone at 20k, why would Ahmed still give Chinedu any special deal? Chinedu has lost his leverage.

If the US knows that Ahmed (the investor) will buy more and help Chinedu pay those fees, but the US specifically doesn't want those kids in school, do you think they’ll allow a free flow? Use your brains!

The same USA that tracked Osama Bin Laden to a hole in a wall cannot track oil tankers on the high sea? Abeg, make una stop funny me.

what you wrote made no sense. I couldn't even get a single point from your drivel. Iran couldn't care less if USA is watching and tracking their oil shipments. The US has no authority or say over Iran. They don't operate under US and western financial system. There's nothing black market about Iran and Chinese trades. They belong to BRICS and have an economy system independent on the US

SpencerForbes:
Omo that oil is being followed by satellites. Except they’ll produce another illegally but you see this 140 million, USA knows wherever they’re going to dock or even how the payment would be made.

the US is not going to bomb Chinese shipments. There's absolutely nothing the US can do about whom Iran sell their oil to. Iran already collected money, the oil is going to China, it's Chinese property, if the US bomb it they'll be at war with China which will finally bring an end to the US

Willie2015:
A brilliant move but desperate gamble.... 2 major risks for Iran

Yuan Trap: By locking their economy into the Yuan, Iran becomes almost entirely dependent on Beijing’s political whims.
Iran is only changing Masters to China. If China decides to fix its relationship with the U.S. later, Iran could lose its only remaining financial lifeline.

The Military Trigger: The U.S. has historically viewed the Petrodollar as a national security priority.
Forcing the GCC to abandon the dollar is a "red line" that usually leads to direct military intervention rather than just more sanctions.

China is not fixing anything with the US. China is planning to take over and become the top economy in a few years time. While would they allow US advantage to regain strength and destroy them? Iran is fine corporating with China because China will not destroy them on the order of Israel

owobokiri:
Meanwhile they are preparing to invade the island of Kharg so as to hyjack Iranian oil sales the same way t they are doing that of Venezuela!

The Trump administration is actively involved in the act of brazenly stealing other countries resources and channeling the funds elsewhere.

This is the type of "democracy" they are spreading across the globe; Bomb a country, impose a corrupt leadership amenable to your interests there, and utilise their services to loot the resources of the said country while the ordinary people suffer..

if they invade that island I will finally conclude that nobody around Trump has even the smallest bit of brain because all the soldiers that land there will either die of explosion or drown while trying to flee

SpencerForbes:
The truth is that this move is a massive trap for Tehran. The US is basically using Iran's own head to break coconut by weaponizing their own oil against them.

By letting those 140 million barrels hit the market at once, they are intentionally crashing global oil prices. The goal is simple: strip Iran of those high-profit margins they were using to fund their "runs" and operations.

It’s a cold "format" because the waiver only covers old stock already on ships, not new production. Iran isn't gaining any new market share or long-term contracts here. Even China’s "sweet deal" is dead now that they have to compete with Japan and India—the "distress discount" Iran was using to keep their allies happy has effectively evaporated.

Worst of all, while the oil is moving to keep global fuel prices stable, the money is still trapped. Financial systems are still on lockdown, so the revenue is basically "Audio Money" sitting in accounts Tehran can't touch.

Basically, the US is taking the oil to kill global inflation while keeping the pressure on Iran exactly where it is. Masterstroke.

wrong. The US is trapped and desperate. The only reason they had a solid economy was that they promised to protect Arab countries and oil trade and in return, oil will be sold in Dollar (which protects them from inflation no matter how much money they print) . They have failed to do this and oil price is spiraling out of control. This is a last ditch effort and Iran even refused anyway. They told them to keep their sanctions in place that they don't care anymore

How long until they start sending them money for repairs in hopes that the war ends? This is the result of Trump always getting away with everything and never facing any consequences

Entanglement:
but we are oil producing nations. And if only our refinery are working. It won't be like this

refinery or not, price of crude oil is up means fuel price will be up unless it's subsidized

Figger:
my friend will you shut up, how has the war in the middle east affected the price of fuel in other oil producing countries, only Nigeria due to high level corruption. Why not call a spade a spade and stop defending incompetency.

USA is the largest oil producer in the world and fuel price has increased there. Fuel price is up globally. The only alternative is subsidy which Nigerian elites will still steal and smuggle the subsidized fuel out

Entanglement:
Dangote did the same stuff with cement and sugar! Now now petrol!

Monopoly should be illegal in this country

you do realize that there's a war in the Middle East and that price of crude oil is over 100 dollars right now? Even if you had more refineries it wouldn't make any difference

Kobicove:
How exactly is Israel winning when their cities are in ruins, the lives of their citizens have been disrupted and economic activities are at a standstill in their country.

If you had $100 million to invest would you do so in Israel?

they want to destroy Iran and they're succeedi

richeeyo:
Nope you wrong sir
They operate inside
Guided by f35

proof? They operate MQ reaper drones inside Iran and have lost more 10. Other strikes from Kuwait and UAE

Of course. The US is losing but Isreal is winning

marlow1962:
Still 1,500. Two other stations are selling 1,600. And yet no protest. But I remember when I was buying it for #65 and it jumped to #75 and there was a massive protest, but I don't know what's happening now.

protest against whom? Is it Nigerian government that started war with Iran? You are not happy Dangote has refinery and you are able to get fuel to buy. The whole world is experiencing energy crisis

QuinQQ:
So it doesn't matter if Iran kills Trump? Ok o.
In a fight if your opponent punches you in the nose you'll try to block it then punch him in the stomach. NOT your opponent can punch you anytime he wants and you have no way of blocking it, and your response is to punch the referee or a spactator! They'd quickly stop the fight!

do you think if Iran kills Trump it will make them win? Answer is no. Trump dies, Vance takes over, angrier and more paranoid

Penguin2:
My dear you can’t help but shudder at the calibre of humans we share a country with.

Seeing people supporting Iran on this platform was a big surprise to me honestly.

And it just made me understand that apart from rigging, the ijiots ruining our lives in this country have people who vote for them.

why exactly should people not support them? They did nothing wrong and were attacked maliciously from behind, twice. They are only fighting back to defend their dignity. Almost the whole world support them, including Americans, Chinese and Europeans

richeeyo:
The A10 warthog which is about to retire has enter combat in Iran and it has not been shot down yet, na F35 dem go come down
Propaganda doesn't win wars 😂😂😂😂

they are not operating inside Iran. They strike from neighboring countries that's why Kuwaiti pilot mistakenly downed 3 F-15s because he saw them inside Kuwait

QuinQQ:
Right. The war hasn't even started and all Iranian leaders and their desgnated successors are DEAD!

it doesn't matter. They don't seem to be interested in hiding in bunkers. However it doesn't really have any effect. They are easily replaced and keeps fighting back. It's like you boasting because you punched your opponent on the nose but he's still standing and keeps hitting you back. So what's the point of the boast?

Ukrainians used to assassinate Russian generals thinking it would help them in the war. It didn't make any difference. They just got replaced, in most cases by a more ruthless one

Warnings? Seriously? Who would have thought the Middle East being on fire would lead to fuel scarcity! How about you look for solution instead of telling people what they already know?

Shrew. It's smells bad I guess

Website is owned and operated from Arizona, USA. CIA used to be very good at these things. Are they just lazy now or they think we're too lazy to check?

I support Israel, I support Iran, I support USA, I support Russia and I support Ukraine. I believe they all have points

slickbak:
Trump is too egotistical. After all the sweet mouth of finishing Iranian navy and their capabilities, why do you still need 5k troops for that small strait?

To be a soldier is not easy o, no wonder Fela called them zombie.

5k will not be enough. They need at least a million if they are going to do anything on the ground

Sending message that they are not afraid of airstrikes

Ukrainians used these against Russians by the way. Before you start saying suicide bombing

It is out of range

franchasofficia:
It's nothing but the truth.


Iran has attacked all US military bases in MiddleEast and have fired more than a thousand missiles and drones at USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier and none have touched it.


Remember Iran boasted that it will sink the war ship because they thought they would overwhelm it with multiple ballistic missiles and drone strikes like they have been doing to Israel yet none touched the war ship.



USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier is a global wonder my brother.


Maybe America used juju self, who knows

Tell them to move closer then
