You are right. But the corruption starts from the so-called politicians in their Abadas or Baban Rigas, civilian public servants, and the top military brass in the air conditioned offices who are selling out their comrades to make money. Follow the leader.

Believe me the rank and file can wipe out Boko Haram if allowed and properly equipped. Their efforts are being frustrated.

There are two Nigeria's and can be divided this way: Pre-Babangida and post-Babangida.

Corruption has always existed in Nigeria. However, pre-Babangida,it wasnt as brazen as this.

I remember in the 1980s, if Nigetians had caught Umaru Dikko, he would have been lynched alive.

However, during Babangidas reign, he made corruption honorable. He made the prime reason for public office holders was to amass loot. All the remaining moral values Nigeria had, he erazed them.

It was during his era that the leaking of JAMB questions began. I sat for the 1990 JAMB. It was the first exam that leaked. They cancelled English.

I remember when Victoria Island and Ikoyi were once residential. It was during his tenure that the bastardization of town planning begun. Those places are now largely comnercial today.

419 exploded during his time in office. I could go on and on. The Gulf War oil dividend disappeared without a trace.

When Abacha took power, he was only interested in amassing wealth. When Abdulsalaam Abubaker took power, though they brought about a transmission to democracy, there was mass looting. They relooted Abachas money that wasrepatraited from overseas.

Today, the prime goal of those in office today is to loot.

If man or woman love sex a lot he or she would look old

Her problem is her weight.

Our women no dey exercise. Thats the problem here. Husbands are no different.

Some women are changing now. You will see them early in the morning jogging. The husband don complain tire.

She has lost all shame and respect in the eyes of all.

The biggest problem is that the corrupt military might be untouchable.

Why you may ask? The fear of a coup.

The country is extremely corrupt and it permeates everything.

Oakenshield:
but Israel has humbled Iran. Show us Iran destruction too

It all depends on what each party defines victory.

Iran success in bombing Israeli cities is victory. This does not even include the military assets that were bombed.

You yourself deep in your heart know that Iran ability to drop missiles on Israeli cities were a great shock to you.

Hello Nairalanders, my friend got a lady pregnant and later discovered that both he and the lady's genotype are AS. Now he is confused because the lady is suggesting abortion but he is not In support of that.

He is confused because he don't know if the child will turn out SS but he wants to give luck a chance. Those with experience please advise.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

God hates abortion.

fwallex4truth:
Useless people. What have done to prevent this?

What are they to do? They have to work with other countries to stop the invasion.

He lost the elections.

It was just loyalty to his fanatical fan base that made him contest the results.

SeverusSnape:
Minding which useless business?.
So someone is chanting "death to America", "death to Israel", that same country is sponsoring terrorists to attack Israel and USA allies and you're saying they are minding their business?? Are you okay I don't blame you na, islamist mentality.
The way Hamas take collect is the way Iran collected their own too.

Netanyahu is war hungry. Even his generals have complained that the IDF is stretched thin.

QuinQQ:
You shouldn't. Because your point is flawed.
See the full picture below - exactly what I told you

Go and tell that to US conaumers who have to pay more for gasoline because of a war they never wanted. Trump is solely to blame for the price hikes

The price hike is due to a scarcity caused by the closure of Strait or Hormuz.

QuinQQ:
My friend if the price of rice doubles everyone pays double for rice including the woman that sells rice - rice she was consuming would now be worth double the price it was before. It doesn't mean she has a net loss from the increase in price. Nigeria makes more money when oil price rises yet we pay more at the pump. See below

I do not want to argue

QuinQQ:
My friend none of this is guaranteed. The only things we know for sure is that Iran did an about-face and agreed to cease fire and also agreed to open Hormuz, both of which they had said they'd never agree to until total end of war and guarantees of no more attacks form US and Israel.
See below, their initial position and the agreement they capitulated to at the last minute (or Trump would start bombing!)

Oga,
Yes, the threat of the bombing of power stations and brisges forced Iran brought the Iranians to the negotiation table.

However, the conditions they got to too favorable. Trump capitulated.

Iran waa one of the most sanctioned countries in the world. In 2017, Trumped placed punitive sanctions on Iran and cancelled the agreement it signed to allow international monitoring of its nuclear program.

Now, all the sanctions ever heaped on Iran would be lifted. The country is now far better off because of the war. And thats just one of the conditions.

It also promises to pay Iran reparations for the damaged done.

QuinQQ:
US makes more money selling crude than the nominal rise in.pump price - which is much less than China's

Dont waate your time arguing with me.

What i told you is the plain truth. Rising global oil prices affects the US. The US has never been shielded from it.

What i told you was gotten from the Economist magazine when Trump said the US wont be affected by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

QuinQQ:
US neither uses nor needs Hormuz. See below

Yes, the US does not need the oil from the Strait of Hormuz.

However, rising oil prices also means US consumers will pay higher price for gas and they are already doing im the US. Gasoline is already above $4 per gallon, and Americans are getting angry.

QuinQQ:
Don't have time for meaningless argument. Argue with this below

The question is why was Trump so generous with his concessions to Iran.

You probably have no idea how generous they are!

Trump is desperate for peace. He started the mess and he must be the one to clean it up. Rising oil prices are a political disaster for Trump. Already his poll rating have collapsed in the US. You also have, the "No King In the US" protests.

QuinQQ:
Clarifying what? Iran that repeatedly said they want end to war, NOT cease fire, suddenly agrees to BOTH cease fire and opening of Hormuz. Focus on the circled below - IRGC is also fully aware of it!

Trump wants peace.

He created this mess, and he has to clean it up.

NATO member countries are calling him out regarding the war. He did not consult them. It was his unilateral decision.

Even US military top brass warned him not to start this war. He would not listen. He chose to go a-bombing with Israel. I am certain he would mow discard any suggestions from Netanyahu. All that one knows is war.

Mandate1:
we are talking about international real politik you're talking about Nigerian govt.

The principles are the same.

The US is definitely far more powerful than Iran
Anyone that argues differently is just arguing nonsense. The same with the army in Nigeria.

Under OBJ, they used the military option to contain the militants, and were advancing. The militantas now turned to kidnapping and blowing up crude oil assets and infrastructure in the Niger Delta. Production dropped from 2mbpd to 800,000bpd.

Iran did similar. It blocked the Strait of Hormuz, and even damaged a few oil assets in the Middle East. This was clear sabotage and was affecting the global economy.

Just like the federal government decided to negotiate with militants, the US is doing the same with Iran.

And my friend, guess what, the US agreed with most of Irans conditions. This moved me to tears


1. The U.S. commits in principle to guaranteeing non-aggression.
2. IRAN maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz.
3. Acceptance of enrichment.
4. Removal of all primary sanctions.
5. Removal of all secondary sanctions.
6. Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions.
7. Termination of all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions.
8. Payment of reparations to IRAN.
9. Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region.
10. Cessation of war on all fronts, including against the resistance in Lebanon.[/quote]No.10 is the only condition that favors Israel.

[quote author=DanAdda post=139028517]🔴 BREAKING | Trump, by accepting IRAN’s 10-point conditions as the basis for negotiations to end the war, has backed down from his desperate threats and bluffs:

Dotherightthing:
Correct!!!

And Israel are ready to fight to finish

The ceasefire agreement is pro-Iran.

Two of the demands were compensatiom for damages inflicted on Iran during war and lifting up of all sanctions places.

Before this wayr, for almost a decade, Iran had a lot of sanctions placed upon it, but all will now be removed. I doubt Israel even had a say in the negotiations, because it had, it wouldnt have conceded so much.

givedemwotowoto:
Outside the camera view are gun blazing soldiers, and families (women and children) taken hostage if their parents don’t sacrifice themselves. If you know you know

These men are hoping and praying that the IRG forces holding their families release them after their sacrifice, and the U.S. doesn't drop those "eggs" and "bananas" on them.

Nobody forced them too.

They are supporters of the Mullahs.

I am not a fan of theirs. What i am saying is just the truth.

She could start her own podcast,Tiktok or Youtube channel.

Her unique appearance will draw in thousands.

zeuss:
Stop fooling yourself sharia is never never tolerant,,,if you like post a girl in bikini there ,,,, it is simply not real

They is this saying, The truth is always in the middle.

Iran today, or even for a few decades now is more of a fascist state than it is an Islamist one.

More women attend uinvdrsity than men 55/45 in favor of women. Its population is well educated.

The fact that the Mullahs could not usher in prosperity was what really brought disillusionment.

Emefiele's dirty hands was involved in this as he is believed to be the brains behind Titan Trust Bank.

I wonder how many other banks were involved in such murky deals?

Every man got his own theory, whether true or foolish.

With 32 governors behind him, it will be very hard to beat Tinubu. The governors and the LGA chairmen want the good times they are presently enjoying continue. The financial windfalls they are currently enjoying due to the ending of fuel subsidies and the floating of the Naira

The local governments are benefitting from direct allocstions, rather than through the state governments.

If Tinubu wants to win the North with a landslide, is if he can end banditry and the menace of killer herdsmen.

Dullad Trump has put the entire into "child confusion" as Fela puts it, by starting this needless war, a war his military warned him not to start.

Mandate1:
when Isreal drops one on civilian area, clowns will shout war crime. Here you're promoting an attack on civilian population.. .

You are here making the biggest mistake.

I dont like the Mullahs.

Israel wanted to use this war to achieve regime change in Iran. Netanyahu wants the support of the Iranian masses, so bombing civilian neighbourhood would do the opposite.

Nevertheless, Iran is bombing military bases in Israel. If military facilities arent safe, how much civilian?

Israel and the US wont "win" this war. Their objective of regime change will not be achieved. Worse, the US has to negotiate with Iran before the war can end, and the Strait of Hormuz reopened. This entranches the Mullahs further, the very opposite of regime change

All the terms will favor the Iranians

I am surprised Nigerians like yourself are ignorant.

Why do you think the Nigerian government chose the Amnestry programne in the Niger Delta rather than fight the militants?

Because the militants were blowing up oil installationa, the government was forced to negotiate, and pacify the militants by starting the amnesty program.

Have you heard the saying, "The bull in a China shop"? That was what the Nigerian government was contending with it. The militants were the bull, while the oil installations was the China shop.

Its the same thing playing out in the Middle East. Iran is now the bull, while there oil assets is the China shop.Iran is ready to destroy the China shop and thats why everyone is scared.

It has closed the Strait of Hormuz.

mariovito:
I really wish to know what happened to the famous iron dome gauze.

Iran first sends many cheap drones during any attack and the iron dome or other anti-missile infrastructure so that it waste lots of expensive missiles which deplete them, before it now sends the real bad boys.

It also uses cluster bombs to confuse the interceptor missiles.

esnbrutality:
This is war....not an issue of rants...

Who has the most casualties?

Celebrating 4 civilians..but having all your leadership wiped out or maimed for life?

Which is worse? ...you normal so?

God1000 dont run from your thread oooo!!!

Netanyahu promised Israelis that their lives were safe umder him.

Irans missile atracks tell a very diffetent story.

Thats enough victory for the Mullahs in Iran.

This is a huge deterrent. Israel would think twice before striking Iran again after any peace agreement.

The US and Israel both underestimated Iran and Iran has now fully taken off its gloves.

Iran is bombing US bases. Its so embarrasing that its a joke.

All those, "Israel is Gods own country," refuse to accept the painful reality that Israel has been outplayed.

Iran was never going to fighr fair. It has always made that clear.

It knows where to hit Israel to make the biggest impact, and thats civilian areas.

But its also hitting military installations and bases inside Israel.

The sooner the US commence negotiations, the better for everyone.

IbileIfe:
Israel does not need America to deal with Iran

Werw this Israel and Iran alone, I will shed tears for Israel.

Iran isnt fighting fair and will never.

Their persistent bombing of Israeli cities, especially civilians areas has left Netanyahu frustated.

He told Israei that they were safe in his hands and its now clear they are not! Iran can continue
this madness for another two months and Tel Aviv would start looking like Gaza.

Israel biggest problem now is that the war in Gaza was a public relations disaster and there are no tears being shed for Israel anywhere in the world.

The further maltreatment of Palestinians in the West Bank has further worsened matters.

It invasion of Southern Lebanon and its displacement of over a million people only makes them even makes things worse.

TempleHouse:
What's Israel gains in this protracted war with Iran⁉️

It has left Netanyahu powerless.

The Iranians are really frustrating Israel.

Trump has better negotiate with Iran now rather than collapse the global economy.
