The problem is that fuel is heavily subsidied in Iran. This has led to excessive demand and also the mass smuggling of the products across its botders. The subsidy needa to be removed. If anything could topple the Mullahs, it removal of this subsidy. Please note that i said, "could," and not,"would." |
fxexperts:Some of you people sha, always fighting over nothing! What sin have I caused by what I have said? Many will feel she married Peller because he is rich. That was even why i wrote it. |
What work is Jarvis doing now? She is peobably still making money from popularity founed on her robot. She should revive it. |
stuffs2002:I condemned Trump, and you say I love lick8ng the white mans butt. Is Trump Chinese? You got me confused. I repeat it loudly: Iran is run as a fascist dictarorship and its citizens have been fed up with the Mullahs for decades. The only reason why any of you like Iran is because it stands up to Israel and fights for Palestinians. You know nothing about them. I repeat: Iranians do not like their rulers. You said why should Iranians care about what I am saying? Did I say they should care? I do not give a rats behind whether the Mullahs or their supporters like you care. I have spoken the truth. If it pains, na your wahala be that. The problem with many of you is that you dont like the trutĥ. I will not tell you what you want to hear. |
Greatex90:Dont let anyone deceive, even if every dime is accounted for, paying generous pensions is unadfordable. First of all, the civil service in all local governmenrs, states and even the the federal are bloated. Reduce the number by half, and it will still be bloated. Paying generous benefit to all retired staff will bankrupt all tiers of government. Seccondly, Nigeria collects very little as taxes. Barely 10% of GdP. Meanwhile, Cote D'ivoire collects 27%. Tax take is too poor to provide generous pension. It is very necessary that whatever pensions that are paid out are affordable to the gocernment as generous entitlement programs are a sutefire way to ruin a country. |
She went from Uche to zhanxi Xipu overnight. They might have her skin to tight. |
SlavaUkraini:Their value system and yours are different. You think I like the Iranian dictatorship? I dont. But i know they are not going anywhere soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJkKeT_K6ic?si=6_ELZ2x0XkgPqPgZ |
Ahmeduana:You are completely wrong. More women go to universities than men. |
Typing:Go to my profile and check out the threads thst i started. Go through the first 6 threads. It will give you a better understanding of my person. By the way, apologies for calling you delusional (Read Collossians 4:6). The right word should be unrealistic. |
brain54:You are delusional. The Mullahs that rule Iran dont have the same values as yours. The sooner you understand that, the better. They no sene all. Na where Trump madness, na there the madness start Thats why other Gulf nations gave them a wide berth for decades. Thats why Gulf nations did not allow the use of their soil for the launching of atracks on Iran. Please note that I do not like the Mullahs. Its a repressive dictatorship. Their citizens are fed up of them. That does not change the reality. Trump was warned by his military not to start this war, that it wont end. He refused to heed their warning and now we have this mess. The regime has said they want Trump to leave office before they make a deal. They are ready to wait. They have the upper hand. Nothing like looking weak. As I said, their values and youes are not the same. |
FSBoperator:Lets be honest: The .Mullahs in Iran run a fascist government. Trump is not a saint. I feel sorry for the sailors. Cant food be shipped to them using helicopters? |
MEGAWATCH:All countries have suffered from this senseless war. Trump was advised by his military not to start this war but he wouldnt listen that it wont end well. This war will cost the Republicans big time in the coming midterm elections. |
The real tragedy here is why did the US start a war with them in the first place considering how terrinbe their economy was? The Mullahs are not beloved by the people. The US has allowed a street thug to give them the whooping of their life. |
HacheNoire:Israel receives less than 1% of its GDP as aid and its largely military aid. You asked facts, and I gave it to you. Show your facts! You are the hypocrite for not kissing the truth. |
HacheNoire:Please read below.

Nackzy:Donald Trump said there would be Israel had he not intervened. Iran's drone and missile strategy is second to none, and was something that caught all nations unawares. Israels interceptors have been depleted, and building capacity takes years The only edge in a military conflict that Israel has between the two countries is a nuke. Would they use it against Iran if pushed to the wall? I can not say. Countries keep nukes really as a deterrent. Israel might have no choice but to use theirs Will it stop Iranian missile strikes? No. It may only increase number of drones and missiles hitting and devastating Israeli cities. |
HacheNoire:My friend, stop shouting! I am neither pro-Iran or pro- Israel. Israel would mess up the Nigerian army. Who feeds who? Dont they pay for their food. The rich Gulf Arab states like Saudi import almost all their food. They pay for it. It is not free Israel is no walkover. I am against the genocide in Gaza (Hamas shouldnt have invaded it), and its poor treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel has held its own in the Middle East for almost 8 decades. It has been transformed into prosperous nation, despite it being surrounded by enemy nations. However, under Netanyahu, it became cocky, and began overreaching. Pride is before a fall. It felt it was invincible. His own adviser warned him they should not invade Lebanon that Israels army was stretched thin but refusrd to listen. Trump too was cautioned by his genersls not to start a war with Iran that it would end badly, but he refused to listen. |
When this war started. I thought Iran would be beaten. They had stayed relatively silent in previous attacks by the US and Israel. Due to their non-response, both nations thought the Persians would be a walkover. Alas, within days, |
I really doubt the Sultan said this, but if true, it is unfortunate. Traditional rulers have to be non partisan or neutral. |
Having more than one wife. HE had three! |
It seems ending banditry, kidnapping and other acts of crime will now be the main focus of this government. It would be a game changer for Tinubus electoral chances in the North. I expect to see more in coming months. |
This makes perfect sense. In addition, IDP costs lots of money and only consume. They generate little or nothing. Unfortunately, many in these camps were farmers before becoming refugees. Thats all they have ever known. They would now have to learn new skills. |
Mattswaggz:Oga, The devil they say is in the details. The truth they say is usually in the middle. Irans willy nilly destruction of US bases is probably the foundation of this story. If they had enough interceptors, the carnage wrought on them by the Iranians could have been contained. The issue of using very expensive missiles which cost up to $4m to stop $20,000 drones no matter the benefit is not economical. Iran has been deploying lots of these drones first for Israel and the US armies to waste costly interceptors on them. That is where the drainage stems from. Another is that some of these missiles take as much as 5 years to manufacture one. I dont know why but it might be down to sensitive parts. In the war with Iran,they have been expended faster than they can be replaced. A Patriot missile Israel deployed this year was made in January. It seems the old batch might have been used up. A lot of the missiles Iran fired did hit Israel, a rate far more higher than before. At this rate, Iran would leave Israel a desolate wasteland in a long term war. Israel may have no choice but to use a nuuke. |
Endinjustice:What was the average economic growth rate under Buhari? |
Yes, the road was not a necessity. Its a legacy project to burnish Tinubu's electoral chances of winning the next election He plans to win primarily based on his performance. I did not say there would be no mago mago, but electoral fraud alone can not help him hold on to power. |
God1000:I very much doubt Israel experienced more. Nevertheless, there must have been lots of damage. The Iranians exposed the vuln̈erability of the Jewish state. Even Trump admitted as much and said Israel would have received a whooping had the fighting not stopped. |
Stoplying:I like how you dismiss things with the arrogance of an emperor! The devil they say is in the details. I dont see the US as godlike. It is however the most powerful military in the world. I like how you write Vietnamese farmers defeated the US. The Vietnamese farmers had military training. They also used a guerilla method of fighting. The movie, "Forrest Gump," properly portrayed the war. US soldiers in over 70% of battles never saw the enemy. They were ghosts in the darkness. The US troops also engaged in war crimes which alienated many of the people such as the carpet bombing of North Vietnam and the use of Agent Orange In Afghanistan, they toppled the Taliban from power. The Taliban even requested power sharing with the US but were turned down. The US introduced democracy, womens could go without wearing a burqa, they could even work and go to school. Had the US stayed another 20 years, it would have "won" the war, not with weapons, but to a bourgeoning Afghan economy and a with an established nation. In Iraq, Saddam Hussein and his government was toppled in 3 weeks. They sacked the entire army (which was probably their biggest mistake as they formed the bulk of the vicious insurgency that came after), brought in democracy which still holds, introduced economic reforms and so on. Yes, they were able to contain the insurgency, though not end it. They left a functioning state behind, and Iraq is doing fairly well now.The insurgency itself has basically ended. If you were really a war strategist, you would know its hard to win a guerilla war. Mohammed who you buy your cigarettes from in the morning, is the same chap planting an IED against you at night. |
Iran has planned for this war for decades. It comes well prepared. It knows its no match with the most powerful army in the world in the air, land and sea. I would say it has instead focused on a new frontier strategy: drones, rockets and missiles. |
Getting rid of headphones is genius as said as it reduces the size of the peoduct enabling more phones to be stacked. This would truly save cost in shipping and transport. |
So, its not just American movies this transpires? If the conman has any sense, he better disappear for good. He could also leak crucial info to security operatives so they can smoke him out before they do. |
Guestmale:Russia can or could afford to pay for military assistance but not Ukraine, which is the second poorest country in Europe. It might even be the first now. |
