It seems everyone wants the Iranian regime to collapse - even the Arab States and gulf States are quiet about the whole thing. They seems to be tired of Iran. Ayatollah may not survive this current war. His death may bring an end to the war. |
The problem with Iran is that there are Iranian citizens that are paid agents of MOSSAD. Iran is not as united as Israel. Lots of progressive Iranian wants the Ayatollah's regime to collapse so that moderate and progressives could take over and move Iran towards the likes of gulf states. Iranian informants are given signals to the Israeli intelligence on targets to strike. There are also Israelis in Iran that speaks Persian and Arabic and have integrated fully into the Iranian society but act as coded informant and spy. |
Happy birthday His eminence - A radical priest and cardinal. A man that does not take nonsense. The take over of catholic schools in Nigeria after the civil war was a grave mistake by the military government of that era. That takeover completed the full destruction of primary and secondary schools in Nigeria. As at then, people, especially brilliant minds looked forward to going to Catholic- run schools, as they were perceived to be the best. Gowon, ill-advised by the Northern oligarchy, mandated States to take over the missionary schools and they ended up messing up the whole thing. Thank God that BAT restored full authority of the schools to the Church as governor of Lagos state and Peter Obi did same in Anambra. The schools are going back to their former glories. |
He still remembers Nigeria, having visited the country before. He must have been devastated by the pictures of women and children massacred in cold blood and the government has not issued any statement to that regard. Is it that the government cannot declare state of emergency and use the full might of the Nigerian armed forces to restore peace and track the marauders? |
Long walk, outdoor sitting, meditation, visit to blessed sacrament in the afternoon and playing music, especially high-life and Catholic hymns and renditions |
Happy father's day to my able and dedicated dad. A great disciplinarian and a man with passion for success. A great story teller and a man of stellar endurance. He infused in me, at an early stage, the desire and hunger for success in any endeavour. It was not until I looked back at the words of my father that I started appreciating his wise counsel. They are all coming back to me. A gift of a true and dedicated dad can't be rivaled by anything. |
The main reason why Nigeria is there is because of lack of reliable data for her citizens. Nigeria doesn't have the means of identity management. Documents, data, persons and materials coming from Nigeria are difficult to verify by a foreign country or entity. The US listed lack of reliable central information as one of the reasons why they listed those countries for potential ban until they fix some of the issues raised. |
The Ukrainian war has taken a great toll on Russia - Russia is finding it difficult to support some of its allies like Iran and Venezuela. Under the Russian watch, Asad, the long time allied of Russia fell, despite heavy military and material support from Russia. Asad would have fallen before now but he was massively supported by Russia, which turned the tides of war to his favor. Since Ukrainian war started, Russia has shifted focus to its own issues and allowed all its allies to sort themselves out. If Ukrainian war has not broken out, Russia would have stood with Iran and would not have allowed the current Israeli assault on Iran. Israel knew that Iran is powerless without support from Russia |
Nigerian politicians and their cronies have forfeited millions to the crown court in respect of illegally acquired properties in UK or as an earnest to get freedom. Politicians have used banks and BDCs to transfer millions to UK and other western countries to acquire properties and businesses. |
The President should temper justice with mercy and release him with certain conditions. It is important to release him so that the security forces would deal with those causing mayhem in the name of detaining Kanu. If Kanu is released, it would be easier to isolate those causing mayhem in SE in the name of IPOB and Kanu. Nigeria is spending so much in maintaining security personnel in SE, where they are not doing anything. |
If Iran retaliates, Israel would target their oil installations and that would spell doom for the Iranian economy. It is better for Iran to take their time and bid their response. They should not respond at the moment. The loss would be huge. Apart from military targets, the next targe would be oil facilities. |
When I see men in their 80s still moving about, with their mental health intact, I feel deeply sorry for my father. Poor health has really affected him and his well-being |
Nursing is always expensive in private and public universities and at the end, the few that would be lucky to get job after graduating would be paid peanuts. Anyway, most study Nursing with the hope of japaing later. |

If you have the money, go ahead and marry on time. But if you don't have the money or you are struggling, please don't do it. It would cut your likelihood of success by half. I was financially ok to marry at 28 but didn't do it. I married at 32, well prepared, financially, emotionally and mentally. I was also ready to be a father at 32 and was well prepared for the arrival of the little ones unlike when I was 28. |
Stupid cooked up stories. By the way, I wonder how men could be careless and lacking good observations skills. There is no way you will see your child without knowing. You don't even need DNA. The DNA fraud happens to men that are not involved, physically and emotionally, in raising a child. Carrying your child, you should be able to see some similarities in physical attributes, behaviours and intellect. May looking at my children, I see striking similarities in everything with myself, the smiles, the eyes movement, walking, and general attributes. If the resemblance is not directly same with you, it would be your own siblings. My daughter is a carbon copy of my elder sister and my sister's pictures at a younger age could be mistaken as my daughter. |
He has completed the assignment Jagaban sent him to do in PDP. Atiku didn't even noticed that he was played, big time. Imagine Dele Momodu, a well known friend of BAT working for Atiku. ![]() |
Even the local high-life musician, Aro Nwanteje, uses the title. "Dr." before his name, Dr. Aro Nwanteje. ![]() |
What a legend!!!! If you have not read any book written by this man, you missed a lot. A very prolific writer. He gave a good account of the Nigeria-Biafra war. One of his books, "The Making of an African Legend " was a masterpiece of the event of 1967 to 1970. |
SMH - Everything about Nigerian pastors have spiritual connotations. How is it possible that MouthAction affects ovulation without any medical research to back it up - Anyway, most of the audience believes that everything is spiritual |
One of them was caught removing a fence security light - If your fence security is made of wrought iron, know that the wondering iron condemn guys would target it. They have virtually removed all metal gutter and manhole covers in Lagos |
The G5 governors are the luckiest set of former PDP governors. As long as Wike gets their backing, they are moving stronger, even getting ambassadorial posts. I think Wike seems loyal and dedicated to those that stands by him. Those governors dared PDP and went with Wike/ Now, they are all reaping the reward. Nigeria's politics |
Anxious and fear of failing....from my Dad The man was always proactive and find it difficult remaining calm if things are not going well as planned. Reason why he takes time to put things in order before any event. This also happens to me..... fear of uncertainty and what the future holds. My father started talking to me about the future why I was still in primary 5 and said he wouldn't want to see me struggle and not achieve success. Funny enough, I started engaging my children about their future and what they should do to succeed, which I attribute to fear of unknown and uncertainties. Then from my mum, Stealth and too much sense. |
Very difficult to prove a case of forgetfulness here. As I earlier said on this issue, if she had brought forward the bracelet days after picking it up, hers would be a case of forgetfulness. But to be supposedly shown evidence that she picked it and said she forgot would be extremely difficult to prove. As a black person living in western society, the odds are already stacked against you. You are constantly on a race to prove your worth and integrity, which the locals are not. |
This story looks cooked, garnished and unreal. If for any reason, the story was true, then, OP is an unserious fellow. Lack of adequate preparation is the Hallmark of unserious people. You have no business being in the filling station for fuel. Things like job interviews, visa appointment, high level meetings with consequences, make or mar contract appointments, I prepare in advance, even if it means getting a night of short let apartment or hotel closed to vicinity of where the interview would happen. I had done it in the past, where I paid for a hotel in VI to sleep over because of an important interview next day, instead of stressing myself to drive from mainland to island for a 9am appointment or interview |
Nigerians and ignorance. People could still work in any age as long as the person is still fit and strong. I worked with a 74 year old man while I was in the UK. I have an 82 great grandmother from my village that is still working in a child care services with the city of Houston in the US. The woman's situation is dicey and could be misinterpreted by people depending on one's perception of her action. If the bracelet stayed with her for a week and she voluntarily returned it, it could be accepted that she forgot it in her bag when she found it. But if she returned it when she was caught via CCTV and she returned it with an explanation that she forgot, then, it would be difficult for people to believe her. I pity her. It is bad to have a dent on your career, especially abroad. Seeking for jobs abroad requires serious disclosure on one's past and any dent on your previous work could spell doom for your career. |
AnuOluwatomilol:Which account on "X"? Trump doesn't use Twitter or "X" again. He talks from his own social media company called "Truth Social ". Even when Elon lifted the ban placed on Trump on Twitter, Trump, as a wise man, refused to return and instead, set up his own social media. |
Stupid demand!!!! Why didn't you issue the same order to Buhari? BAT is not going to end anything, the same way he would not be able to end "sit-at-home" in the East. The North should take measures to end the banditry. The East should also rise up and end the sit at home but the president needs to release Kanu so that the real criminals causing mayhem in the name of Kanu would be apprehended |
They all look petit and under age to be graduating from secondary school |
aribisala0:Stop explaining anything to those guys above. What you pointed were the things Prof. Aminu did. He was too sentimental in his approach, if you were opportuned to listen to some of his comments. The other Minister of Education, Professor somebody Liman, I have forgotten his first name, came and messed up everything to the extent that he made comments about Southern Nigeria having a "mad" rush for Western Education. There are some comments unbeffiting of a serving Minister |
The fencing contract should be handed over to an Israeli construction firm. They are very good at putting up boundary fence with good security surveillance systems. |
