D1official:
Even Saudi and UAE would gladly fund Israel on this not to mention Germany and other nations. They play!
I doubt Saudi or the UAE will support Israel that brazenly. Their citizens hate Israel. It would be very unpopular.

Germany too might not want to support Israel. Germany has been targetted by many groups for selling weapons to Israel during the Gaza war that began on October 7, 2023.

In addition, its citizens too do not like Isreal. Worse, European nations only entertained Israel in the past to please the US. Now that president Trump has left the US relationship with Europe in tatters, they are now openly speaking out against Israel.

Some European nations have gone as far as slamming sanctions on Netanyahu and other key figures. They also want him charged for war crimes.

This is so sad. Medicine is a very expensive course to pursue.

He shouldn't have kept the problem to himself. I am certain if he told his classmates and they informed their parents, one or two parents may decide to sponsor the rest of his education.

The problem here isn't that he could not afford his fees. The problem here is not asking for help from the right people.

Soon Netanyahu will be speaking from bunker just as Iran leader. The two leaders operate from bunker while their kids live abroad. My only pain is that Africa is not making any supply or profit from this war. Soon northern Nigeria Muslim that join the Iran to fight will come back with guns to start (DEMOCRACY HARAM) MILiKI BATURE HARAM
Iran seems to be running out of long range missiles. That will work against it.

Both sides have the same problem regarding cash and weapons, but it seems Iran might be worse. The Iron Dome can't cope with Iran's "saturation attacks." It is also very expensive for Israel to maintain, and it is running out of rockets. Iran's use of cluster bombs renders the Iron Dome quite useless.

It is estimated that Isreal spends $700m a day on the war, but I question this figure as it is too high. Nonetheless, wars are expensive to fight, and Israel will need lots of money to continue the war. It would therefore need lots of help from the US, both militarily and cash. These are two things Trump may not give out generously. Trump hates wars, and he is quite tightfisted providing cash to other nations, and this might now include Israel.

Iran might receive help from China. I wonder if Putin will provide weapons as it too is fighting a war.

BIG Breaking: Iran Kills MOSSAD Chief DAVID BARNEA | Mossad HQ Bombed to Ashes
In a stunning escalation, Iran has reportedly obliterated Israel’s Mossad headquarters in Herzliya with a precision missile strike. Iranian media claim Mossad Director David Barnea was inside the bunker when it was hit, along with senior army intelligence officials. This strike, part of Iran's Operation True Promise III, could mark one of the most significant blows to Israeli intelligence in decades. Videos from Herzliya show widespread devastation, raising serious questions about the failures of Israel’s air defense systems. Is this the beginning of all-out shadow war?#IranIsraelWar #MossadStrike #DavidBarnea #HerzliyaAttack #MiddleEastConflict #IRGC #IsraelUnderAttack

In your 70s, one can still look strong. However, around that 80s bit, you detiorate fast.

IBB is now 85. This shouldn't be a surprise if you've had parents or relations around that age.

In addition, I doubt whether he engaged in physical activities in his middle age years. He looks like one focused on enjoying life.

Only a nonYoruba person will use the term Yoruba Muslim. You can not define Yoruba through religion.

Osun state is the state with the largest percentage of Muslims in the Southwest- about 75%.

Despite that, the governor is a Christian. His mum is Igbo. The governor's first wife is Igbo.

His Igbo name is Ifeanyi. He is also Davido's uncle.

If America was reckless, unplanned and corrupt as you Nigeria, how would they have enough to carry you along?
Many of you people simply don't know how things work. Calling countries that benefit from aid parasites is quite unfortunate. It isn't as simple as you make it.

Based on your values, don't accept remittances sent to you from overseas. Demand your friends and families overseas to come back and stop being parasites. Trump is determined to send those parasites home.

Many of you are unwelcome abroad where you want to go to to for a better life. Hypocrites.

Politics › Re: Uba Sani Changed Kaduna From Toxic Environment Under El-Rufai - Tinubu (Video) by grandstar(m):
AMINDA:
Tinubu is not helping much to dispel the stereotype Nigerians already have about the people from his region. Before the election, he showered glowing tributes on Elrufai and publicly begged him to stay back and work with him. He then threw him under the bus as soon as he won. Who is to say the same will not be done to Uba Sani? Afterall, he's about to dump Shettima too.

In Rivers, he supports Wike over Fubara and even proceeded to remove Fubara illegally from power, but he supports Uba Sani over Elrufai in Kaduna. He supports Akume over Governor Alia and even went to Benue to openly lash at the governor. Everything he does is for his own self-interest. He does not even pretend to be neutral. Very unpresidential! At least, Buhari maintained neutrality which is what one would expect of a national leader.
What you said about Yoruba people being backstabbers is a selfrighteous attempt at giving a dog a bad name so as to hang it.

You're the type that also believe Mbaise people are bad. It sounds ridiculous.

Tinubu is a politician. Do you want him to tell Rufai what he really thinks about him before the election? If he did that, he'd lose lots of votes in Kaduna.

Do you think Tinubu likes most of his picks? From his antecedents in Lagos state, he does not. Tinubu prefers to appoint technocrats as commissioners.

Tinubus decision in Rivers state was actually neutral. It favored neither Fubara nor Wike. The courts had already ruled against Fubara. His days were numbered. The State of Emergency was to prevent Fubara being kicked out of office permanently by Wike through the judiciary which he has tremendous influence over through his wife.

Let me shock you a little: homosexuality is much bigger in Nigeria than you think. There are many people that you know are gay but you unaware of.

Did you now that Peter of PSquare may be gay? Check out his pix with Dangote. I don't think Dangote is.

Asa is gay. Teni is a stud.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Using 'cluster Bomb Warheads' With Smaller Explosives In Attacks On Israel by grandstar(m): 5:31pm On Jun 19, 2025
Llpsporksman:
For decades, the world was ruled by a belief—not a political belief, but a near-religious faith: that the United States of America was untouchable. The great protector. The divine kingmaker. The self-anointed god of global affairs. With military bases in over 70 countries, a dollar that dictated global trade, and a veto in every hall of power, America acted not like a nation—but like a god.
And like all false gods, it too has met its day of reckoning.
The ongoing war between Iran and Israel is not just a regional conflict. It is a spiritual and symbolic collapse of the American illusion. For all its wealth, satellites, weapons, and propaganda machines, the USA is standing helplessly as one of its closest allies—Israel—is bombarded, bloodied, and humbled.
Where is the divine protection now?

🏛️ The Myth of the Anointed One
The United States told the world that Israel was anointed—a divine ally, protected by “shared values” and equipped with weapons of invincibility. For decades, every crime Israel committed was excused. Every bomb it dropped was justified. Every UN resolution against it was blocked by America’s hand.
And the world watched and believed: Surely, this nation must be chosen, for no one dares challenge it.
But now, missiles are raining down on Tel Aviv. Fireballs light the night sky. Israeli civilians run for cover. And the vaunted Iron Dome—praised like a shield from heaven—is overwhelmed, pierced, exposed.
This is no longer just war. This is divine exposure.
If America’s anointed can bleed like everyone else, then was it ever truly protected? Or was it all a lie?

💣 When the “Protector” Is Powerless
As Iran pounds Israeli infrastructure with ballistic missiles, drones, and cyberattacks, America has resorted to the only weapon it has left: words. Empty threats. Warnings. “Ceasefire or else.”
Or else what?
Washington can’t stop the missiles.
Washington can’t silence the resistance.
Washington can’t put Israel back on the pedestal.
If the U.S. truly was what it pretended to be—a global god—why is its most armed, most funded, most trained ally being dragged through the mud by a nation it called “evil” and “inferior”?
Because the throne is empty.

🌍 A Message to All U.S. Allies: You’re On Your Own
Let this be a warning to every nation still kneeling before Washington:
• To Europe, still under the illusion that NATO is a shield: ask yourself what would happen if real war came to your doorstep. Will America bleed for you, or will it just send weapons and condolences?
• To Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, who thought oil made them untouchable: remember how the U.S. abandoned Afghanistan overnight.
• To Ukraine, still dancing in the illusion of Western promises: weapons may be shipped, but lives are lost by you—not them.
• And to Africa, where leaders are still selling resources in exchange for “stability”: understand that you are only protected as long as you obey.
Israel was the crown jewel. The “little America” in the Middle East. If even Israel can be exposed, beaten, and bombarded—no ally is safe.

🧠 The Divine Complex of Empires
The American empire is suffering from the disease of divinity—the belief that it can choose who wins, who leads, who lives, and who dies. That it can speak like God, act like God, and silence all challengers.
But history has never been kind to false gods.
Rome fell. The British Empire faded. The USSR collapsed. All believed they were eternal. All vanished.
America, too, has overreached. Its hands are soaked in war. Its promises are paper. Its moral credibility is gone. And now, as Iran humiliates its favorite creation, the whole world sees it:
America cannot protect anyone.
Not even itself.

🙏 Only God Is God
Let the world hear this clearly: No superpower is divine. No nation is anointed. No military is eternal.
There is only one God, and He is not American.
No president, no Pentagon general, no elite in a suit can control the tides of justice, the anger of the oppressed, or the resilience of truth.
The myth has shattered. The mask has fallen. And the world must now choose:
Continue worshipping the god of bombs and banks?
Or finally submit to the truth that power belongs only to the One who never bleeds, never falls, and never lies?
Your write-up was confusing to say the least.

If the US gets involved. It could turn the tide quickly. The US is phenomenally power. It ousted both the Taliban and Saddam withion 90 days. When it fights directly with countries and not insurgents or rebels, it has the capability to bring regime change.

However, Iran isn't sleeping. It may decide to make the Strait of Homuz unpassable for ships that carry 20% of the world's crude oil. This would lead to the price of oil topping over a $100 per barrel, some estimate $150-300/barrel. This would be a massive blow to the world economy.

The Iranian government is unpopular. The people are sick of the Mullahs.

People should stop living in denial. If the US hasn't assisted, there will be reasons. The bloody nose they have received recently when fighting the Houthis in Iran might be one or them. This has been under reported.

This might have spooked Trump who hates wars and does not want the loss of American troops. Wars are also horribly expensive and he may not want pay for it.

Even if they delete 50m, the remain 50m is still $110,000. Even if you slash it by half, that still $55,000. Spotify accounts for a third of streams in the music streraming industry.

Then you have income that comes in from Tiktok and YouTube when their music is used to make videos. They also earn when their music video is watched on Youtube. There's income from shows and various other sources.

Usa said they are no longer want to be the hero for the world. Let everyone take care of their own business
When did Americans say they don't want to be the savior of the world?

The money from tariffs is puny compared to revenues lost to the tariffs.

Increased tariffs arw having a devastating effect on US companies. Profits are collapsing and companies are laying off workers due to the tariffs. All the tariffs just do is to increase the cost of production and cost of goods, which leads to reduced demand. Worse, it leads to empty shelves.

That means less income and company taxes. Income taxes brings in $2tr. Tariffs would being in max $600bn.

Are you for real? Are you listening to yourself? Are you living under a rock?

The US economy is crashing and you're here praising hubris. Elon Musk called Trump's economic adviser "dumber than a sack of bricks." Elon Musk had a falling out due to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" which is his fiscally reckless budget that will increase the US deficit by over 5.5 trillion over the next 10 years. Musk did his best to cut government spending and Trump's budget simply wipes it all out.

I noticed you were silent on his medicare and medical cuts. This exposes the cruel truth- the man doesn't know what he is doing and he is only favoring the rich.

The cost of making Lagos flood free is herculean. It might also lead to demolishing houses to either build drains that can collect the water or even unblock the drains that have been blocked by garbage.

Many parts of Lagos are built on marshy land, hence, the areas become vulnerable to flooding. Those places should never have been approved for building of homes.

Now, to even call back, nah stress for me.
