pdppower: Why is Iran attacking these less powerful countries? Why not face US and Israel directly. The case of "Eni tí a lè mú lan ledi mo" These countries have US military bases. Iran wants those bases out! It is also a strong warning what could happen if the US and Israel do not not back off. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Hits World's Largest Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal In Qatar by grandstar(m): 8:16am On Mar 19 |
OfficialAPCNig: Israel destroyed theirs and Iran attacked Qatar with weak air defence system.
After this war, the Gulf countries will reassess their relationship with Iran and align properly. The Gulf States never had a good relationship with Iran, so, this is nothing new. It is a very loud warning to Qatar what would happen if they piss them off. Iran wants all US military bases in the Gulf out. Trump had been warned by the military not to start this war that the eventually outcome wont be favorable. All that they said has turned out to be true. Iran wants to make certain that the US and Israel never again attack them. |

Righteousness2: Today, ISRAEL DESTROYED the gas processing plant 'Asaluyeh' in the city of Bushehr in southwestern Iran. The South Pars gas field is the LARGEST NATURAL GAS FIELD in the WORLD.
ISRAEL is DESTROYING IRAN ALL Round. Iran is Facing Saudi arabia.
Its Amazing to see How Bible Prophecies of thousands of years are Playing out.
From this War ISRAEL is Gonna be so PROSPEROUS and would become the Energy World SUPER POWER.
The Prosperity of ISRAEL and Great Influence ISRAEL becomes from this War is the HOOK that GOD ALMIGHTY uses to Draw the likes of Russia, Turkey, iran, Libya and the host of contingents of nation that will come to Attack ISRAEL through its Northern parts in the Next coming War which is the Ezekiel 38 and 39 GogMagog War.
In this WAR, ISRAEL will not be the one to Fight. ISRAEL will be covered and Surrounded by these Nations headed by Russia and Turkey.
The World will watch thinking ISRAEL will be Swallowed. The GOD of ISRAEL will Show up Mysteriously and the World will Understand that ISRAEL is GOD'S COVENANT Nation and First born.
Russia , Turkey, persia and all the Nations with them will be DESTROYED right inside ISRAEL. The Prophet Ezekiel says, it will take 7months to bury them.
We are in the Last days. GOD ALMIGHTY , the GOD OF ISRAEL is orchestrating things Exactly as have been written thousands of years ago Live ready ..Be ready.. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING.
What peophecy of thousands of years? The true God stated that he would bless thw nation of Israel if they obeyed Him, and punish them if they disobey him. The Jews till datw refuse to accept Jesus as the Messiah and embrace Christianity. Why then would God bless them? The God of these Last Days is blinding the eyes of billions today. |

Galactics: Just firing missiles aimlessly without target. Is this all what Iran can offer? Israel has been killing their top generals and commanders , but this Iran is firing missiles in the midst of the masses. It seems you are joking? The news on YouTube isnt too kind on Israel. Netanyahu is in very big trouble. His people might demand his resignation if he cant put a stop to Iranian misaile attacks. Thw interceptors in the Iron Dome and David Sling have now been depleted after the Iranian first waves of drones and cheap missiles for the very purpose of depleting their interceptor missiles. The fact that Trump has to request NATO members to open the Straits of Hormuz is strong indication that things arent going well for the US nor Israel. They underestimated tje Iranians. I too thought Iran was a walkover until i started reading and learning more as the days went. |

Buccalcavity2: I disagree. I have read history of wars and understand finance to know that countries fight wars based on their self interest than on the interest of others. There's nothing Trump has done that preceding US leaders haven't alluded to. Point is, it aligns with US national interest. Trump is only loud and bold bout it. Same for Iran. Nothing has changed! Their perspective about US is same. This war or not! This war is more about geopolitical power balance than specifics. This official, if true, is playing local political game with his resignation than disagreeing with broad scale view he is claiming. Just come clean that you are peo-Israel. Iran poses no threat to the United States. It was pressure from Israel that pushed Trump to go to war. Trump has been called, "The best friend that Israel has ever had." It obviously went straight to his head. I hope Israel isnt forced to use a nuke. Even at that, Iran would keep firing missile has its army has been decentralised into 31 units, and they can act independently. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Nigerians Among Over 140 Injured After Missile Strike On UAE by grandstar(m): 2:22pm On Mar 17 |
Brendaniel: I've refused to talk about this war for certain reasons, but there is something I have noticed which a lot of people have taken to be normal in this war which is:
It looks like most people(especially Iranian supporters) have taken it to be normal for Iran to attack civilians and civilian facilities of other countries while it is an atrocity for other countries to the same to it.
For instance, this is UAE, over 140 civilians were injured, no one says anything, the Iranian supporters will come here to cheer it as victory with justification, where these people in any military facility ? No!
Now reverse the same scenario for Iran and watch most people scream of injustice especially Iranian supporters.
I've refused to involve my discussion in this war but this is getting very obvious. I am neutral. The Iranian regime is a tyranny, and its people are tired of the Mullahs. Meanwhile, cocky Netanyahu is getting his bum kicked by Iran, big time. Israelis, who supported the genocide in Gaza are now having to taste what they face. My worry is that Israel has nukes and might decide to unleash one if pushed to the wall. That would not stop the missiles dropping on Israel as the Iranian military has been decentralised into 31 units, and each can independently of each other to forestal a situation like this. Any invading would need to take out all 31 units and not a centralized one. |

When was it sold for 22bn is what i need to know.
If it was sold for 22bn in 2015, that would mean around $110m as the exchange rate hovered around $1 - N200 then.
However if it was sold for 22bn this year, that would it waa sold for around $15m in today's money. This should be considered as fraudulent.
I suspect AMCON might been "persuaded" to sell it for that price to a well connected individual. |

Antoeni: US Israel And Iran Are Fighting, Nigeria Has Crude oil & a Functional Refinery (Dangote) What is Nigeria Business With The Increments in Fuel Price And The War? Fuel prices are determined globally and not locally. Even the US can not determine the price crude oil. Do you want to know the price of crude oil today? Simply search, "How much is the price of crude oil today?" |
Politics › Re: Middle East War: No Petrol, No Food For Nigerians by grandstar(m): 1:52pm On Mar 16 |
nairalanda1: If FG Makes fuel affordable, you know say that means a massive debt that we would add on top of the debt wey we have.?
A lot of people here think I support TInubu because I dey speak against subsidy. Well, na GEJ wey make me stop supporting subsidy. Him, and Okonjo-Iweala and the Emir of Kano together.
IN 2011, subsidy costs were thrice that in 2010, and a big part of the reason was rises in crude oil price. That is the thing that made someone like Comrade Oshiomole who was a governor and APC Man and tinubu supporter, go from subsidy removal opponent to supporter back then. Because he was now in government and seeing how subsidy worked. And that is why GEJ wanted to remove subsidy.
For me, the wake up call was in 2011 and 12. The final straw was seeing the difference between landing cost and subsidzedprice of fuel...e shock me how much money we were throwing away in the name of subsidy
If Government brings back subsidy now, know that it has not been budgeted for this budget. Know also that our windfall money has to settle the old debt that is hanging over our head like one large load. That means that ultimately there would be more and more borrowing...and e go come hit us.
NOthing to do with supporting tinubu or oppresors or anything.and I even never ever voted for or will vote for tinubu or gej. Everything to do with the fact that we collect money for subsidy from the same oil earnings we rely on to survive. Not like sane countries that rely on taxation to fund subsides. Consumer subsidies, whether food or energy-which are the two most popular, are fiscally ruinous. They leave massive holes in the budget. In North Africa, which is fond of these subsidies, it is adversely affecting their economies. The three most adversely affected are Algeria, Libya, and Egypt. Just do a simple search using Google Ai, "Are food and energy subsidies good for developing countries?" |

I believe the UNITED STATES can and might just defend and secure the Strait of Hormuz. It has been Iran's bargaining chip for too long. They will fail. Iran's action in the Strait of Hormuz has the same demoralizing impact as that of an efficient sniper taking out enemy troops. |
Education › Re: Nationwide ASUU Strikes In Nigeria Since 1999 by grandstar(m): 11:47am On Mar 16 |
HeroicMeastro: I don't agree with you at all. Nigeria and Nigerians are far more better during the Babangida and Abaha regimes compared to the unfortunate democratic dispensation o the OBJs, Yaradua/GEJs, Buhari (worst of all) and now Tinubu. My critical point? 1. Cost of living was affordable by a majority 2. Basic amenities and infrastructure was rapidly growing (still benefiting from some presently). 3. Nigerian passport holders are much respected globally. 5. Nigerian currency was very strong, a critical index for a good, thriving economy. 6. Less curruption (especially in the public service) 7. Low security challenges 8. Sense of responsibility by most Nigerians What do you mean by things were better? Minimum salary was increased to 250 in 1991. During Abacha time, it was around 1,500 or so. I dont understand how things were better? In 20 years time, many will say things were better under Tinubu. |

Ironfaceman: This is what seasoned Christians call voice of the grave. One obstacle and you fall flat not wanting to get up.
We are living in a spiritual world, the Fools does not know this, only the prudent and the evil ones knows this.
Some think being a Christian is just about singing praise and worship or going to church in a beautiful dress. To be a Christian you most be ready to put on the whole armor of God.
Disappointment will always come in life but its your fortitude that will determine your direction. Do you think God blesses Japa? There is nothing wrong if you japa, but it you must, respect Gods word. You want to travel on a tourist visa and start working illegally with papers, it is wrong. The Bible says you must obey the higher authorities, that is the government (Read Romans 13:1-7). If government says you cant work without a work permit, you are not only breaking the governments law, but also that of God. At times, we may be able to get the work permit and all, but have you asked God if that is his will? Not everything is money. Many travel even with the right papers and regret it. Many wish they had remained in Nigeria. |
