Foreign Affairs › Re: German Chancellor Merz Says US ‘Being Humiliated By The Iranian Leadership’ by grandstar(m): 5:08pm On Apr 27
FreeStuffsNG:
The Iranians are “obviously negotiating very skillfully” and “clearly stronger than one thought,”Merz added.
He is clearly being clever by half.
It is the whole west that is humilating itself by launching an unprovoked war on Iran under the pretext that Iran is building nuclear weapon, same despicable format they used to destroy Iraq.

Nobody is stupid except those who fall for your deception.



Only Spain stayed away by denying US of military parts, bases and even her airspace.

Germany and others are actively supporting the evil agression on Iran war at the backend sir.
You are completely wrong here.

Trump did not seek the opinion of NATO member when he embarked on this war. He did so unilaterally. Even the US military high ups counselled Trump against the war,that it would come with catastrophic consequences.

Though most of these nations are not keen on Iran gaining nuclear weapons, they also understand the damage starting a war with Iran would cause.

If countries have not been so criticalof the US war, it is because it could be counterproductive. Trump would pummel any country not support8ng him with sanctions or any other form of punishment. So, countries have chosen to stay mum rather than an open confrontation with Trump.

Iran has been relatively chill with NATO member states.

Politics › Re: ‘why Are We Still Borrowing After Subsidy Removal?’ – Sanusi Queries FG by grandstar(m): 11:08am On Apr 27
Treadway:
I have been echoing this since 2023, I even created a thread about it below. Removing subsidy and devaluing naira at the same time was foolish, and the cause of the very avoidable katakata the country is still experiencing till today. I explain tire for grandstar with facts o, but he no gree. Na im Sanusi sef don talk now. He advocated for both too, but he understood that the timing and the way you go about it matters!!
Paragraph 12 exonorates.

Sanusi was here complaining about the liberalization of the Naira in a loose monetary environment.

It is because of the loose monetary envirinment is why inflation is 15%

In a tight monetary environment, it would have dropped below 10% by now.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Tried To Use Nuclear Codes During Iran War But Was Stopped (Photos) by grandstar(m): 3:42pm On Apr 25
The Iranians really humiliated Trump.

Imagine Iran bombing US bases in the Gulf and forcing US soldiers to lodge in hotels? There is no bigger embarrassment than that.

Those bases were meant to protect the Gulf States from attacks from other coutries but could not even protect themselves!
Foreign Affairs › Re: 'Fix Your Countries': Video That Has Sparked Ghana-SA Diplomatic Row - PICTURES by grandstar(m): 3:35pm On Apr 25
The tragedy here is that these South Africans dont even know what the problem is.

South African has very high unemployment that is caused by rigid labor laws which make it expensive to hire workers and difficult to fire them.

Countries with rigid labor laws usually have high unemployment rates because if you find it difficult firing an unwanted employee, this will discourage you from hiring.

This is the root of the high unemployment rate in South Africa.

Asking Africans to go back home to fix their countries is balderdash. Ghanas per capita would match that of South Africa in 2 decades at the speed it is going.

Italians used to seek greener pastures for decades in other countries. They do not do so any more as they are now an advanced nation.
Politics › Re: How Goodluck Jonathan, Wife Chased Me Out Of PDP – Rotimi Amaechi by grandstar(m): 12:49pm On Apr 25
SmartPolician:
Nobody chased you out of PDP. As governor, you became too aggressive and vulgar to a president from your neighbouring state because Rivers State lost an oilwell dispute to the court.

The gentle president didn't have the time to fight you and his wife took up the battle on his behalf and showed you what she's made of, using Wike to deal with you 🙂
So, Wike was a good replacement? Thats throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

The cure here, was many times worse than the disease it was meant to treat.

Politics › Re: Is There A Backstory To Wale Edun’s Exit? by grandstar(m):
This is simple: You have a finance minister who is trying to be as economical as possible, and you have a president who has lots of grandiose money gobbling projects that need funding.

By choosing to be prudent, he got fired. He would have worked better under OBJ.

Paying civil servants timely to him was better than using the same money on new mega projects which were not urgent.

Tinubu should have focused on on repairing infrastructure rather than starting new ones.

He deserves a pat on the back.

As finance minister, he had to play a balancing act of managing the country meagre income and Tinubu insatiable appetite for cash draining megalomaniac projects

The man no well.

Must she marry you for sharing a roof?
Moral standards today have been seriously eroded.

Once she said no, she must instantly move. She should not even spend the night there. Thats the dignified thing to do. Does she want to keep sleeping with a man who now has no plans to marry you? She is no better than a runs girl.

She is no spring chicken. Her body shape indicates she is in her early thirties. Soon, no man will desire her when there are "better goods" out there

benardtotti:
He could have been creative , for capital projects he could have gone for domestic bonds to fund the critical projects, it is not a good thing that we have 3 budgets running concurrently.
If he had his way, he would have cancelled many of these projects. He would have worked better under OBJ.

Yes, Lagos Calabar highway is a great idea but this just isnt the time considering how fragile the FG purse is presently.

These grandiose projects are to not only impress the citizenry, but also to grab votes for Tinubu.

Foreign Affairs › Re: No Israelis Allowed At This Restaurant In Thailand by grandstar(m): 4:18pm On Apr 21
zegxy:
This your Bible verse is mainly to suit your propaganda about the Israelis. Israel had always been God chosen people so don't try to brainwash us here. You can ask God that your question. God will always have mercy on whom he decides to have mercy on, there is nothing you can do about that
In the Bible, whenever the Israelites did not do his will, he punished them, and when they did his will, he blessed them (Read Deuteronomy 30:19-20). You cant deny that.

Has God changed? The Bible say he hasnt.

What do you know about Jerusalem 70 AD? What of the expulsions of Jews by the 2nd century from Israel by the Romans? The Palestinians filled a void left by the exiled Jews. The Jews were stateless for about 1,900 until the founding of the State of Israel.

The present day Jews are not Gods chosen. Spiritual Israel which is made of all anointed Christians + Jesus are now Gods chosen nation.

I am not anti-Semitic. I am not one of those who call the Jewish settlers of Israel Europeans. They are Jews. Nevertheless, that does not make them Gods chosen people. We all stay condemned if we do not exercise faith in Jesus ransom sacrifice.

I think it was relaxed or abolished about 2 years ago.

Some battles are worthless regardless of long or short term victory.

Iran should send all their drones to destroy American ships since they have refused to accept defeat.

Their leaders send their kids and relatives to Western countries for education and vacation but deceive their people to be shouting death to America, suffer head demonstration of craze according to fela.

The poor masses are now suffering for a war they never started and their leaders are lodge in 5 star hotels, traveling around and wasting time negotiating because they are not directly affected by the war.
The US and Israel started the war and not Iran.

The senselessness has wasted lives of both Lebanese citizens and Israeli soldiers.

Israelis disappointed that Netanyahu has failed to crush Hezbollah in the latest invasion are as delusional as him.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Why Are Some Chinese People Suddenly Into Iran? (video) by grandstar(m): 11:44pm On Apr 16
MrEar:
Did you notice from the video that it is the chinese youths who are deeply interested in Iran?

That is why china is rising! Their youths love observing and learning.

Their youths know that one day China will have to reunify with taiwan and when that happens, they may have to fight the All Mighty and Powerful United States who just got flogged by ordinary small iran. smiley
Upon all your grammar, if you were asked to choose which of these 4 countries you would love to settle in, you'd most likely pick the US ansd Taiwan.

You are no different from Muslims who prefer to emigrate to western countries rather than to Muslim ones.

A forced unification of China and Taiwan would ruin the global economy. It would also badly damage the Chinese economy.

Forced annexations are so 1960s.

98% of Taiwanese are against a reunification. Why? China's repressive crackdown on protesters in Hong Kong. The illegal kidnapping of critics. The end of freedoms Hong Kongers took for granted. The same would be repeated in Taiwan.

Dude stop that useless propaganda, we all knew you do not want United States to deal with Iran, they must be thought a big lesson they will never forget until eternity.
Useless propaganda? Its all over the internet!

The US can not defeat Iran, and if it does, it would be at a very disastrious price.

I initially thought the US would quickly dethrone the Mullahs and it seemed to be going that way.

It took a week to change my views.

Stick to what ever pleases you. I prefer to listen to experts and also watch whats on ground.

If my views are garbage, why is the Strait still blocked? Teach Iran a big lesson by opening the Strait of Hormuz! Do it now!

The US and Israel have wiped out their navy and airforce. So, let US open the Strait today!

This is a nice story for men who married nonvirgins and still won't go for DNA test. Oga you don give her first chance by marrying her, don't make a double mistake my not going for DNA test. DNA test no dey spoil marriage, rather it gives you that 100% trust say na your seed and not someone else's seed. If you like allow your nonvirgin partner to gaslight you say DNA test means lack of trust. I go dey here to read your lamentation. Ask yourself this question, "IF SHE WAS DECENT AND HAD SEXUAL DISCIPLINE, WHY DIDN'T YOU MEET HER AS A VIRGIN AND NOT A FAIRLY USED". Ok oooooooo, I rest my case


What do I even sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide
A DNA test is best done discreetly. Even if the child is proven to be yours, keep it a secret. (Read Proverbs 22:3)

A faithful woman may feel bitter that you could not trust her. Some may even demand a divorce.

Thats why the US military brass advised Trump against starting this war. Now, we can see the reality. He did not even seek advice from other NATO members and other allies.

The Gulf States, though they dont like Iran, barred the US military from launching attacks from their soil. They do not want Irans wahala.

How can Iran be blocking anything without a Navy, not even a single ship? Use another word, NOT "blocking" in the sense of what US is doing with a bunch of ships
Iran has missiles. Just blowing up a ship is enough to reset the brain of all other ships.

Its a game of "who will bell the cat?"
