Saao: don't mind them, they thought we're fools. This is just acting. During intense battle, no one will be bold video like that and no trained soldier would stand like that as if he's immune to bullets. Our soldiers are trying but this look like acting or training ground without real bullets
Calm down, you call this acting? You forgot it could be body cam or eye glasses camera. Be calming down abeg
lawani: In other countries, the government do buy produce off farmers to keep the prices high enough. The produce is then destroyed. They can do that because government have a lot of money from taxes. In Nigeria, farmers are left to their fate and it is often scarcity followed by plenty. Low prices followed by high prices season after season. That has been the culture or practice in the country for years. It is also the natural way things are done since time immemorial
Nicoddemus: You're in support of a man that invaded ukraine without provocation? Just because he is believes they are weak?
Do you wish those stronger than you to treat you the way russia treats ukraine?
You're in support of a man that invaded Venezuela and kidnapped the President and try him in his national court without provocation? You are in support of Western allies that displaced a whole country to create a western settler state in another region perpetrating genocide to sustain and preserve themselves. You are supporting a country that wouldn't allow Russia or China pass through Greenland cos its close to her borders where they can pose an existential threat to the US cos UsS view China and Russia as enemies. But the same US want to Russia who views US as an enemy to allow her own "Greenland" Ukraine to join NATO so that US an enemy of Russia can establish military base in Ukraine and have Nato forces stationed there to threaten Russia.
Do you wish those stronger than you to treat you the way US, UK and Western allies treats Palestinians? Do wish to treated like a leper amongst people and sanctioned on all fronts like the US and West treats Russia?
mikeapollo: Your analogy is so warped, full of bias and hate against a land and its people that existed long before UN or American came into existence.
It is like saying that America should not be recognized or acknowledged for what they are doing now, just because before they became superpowers, there were other superpowers in the world. America did not lack intelligence. They only became better with allies like Israel and Europe The Chief of US Airforce Intelligence made an official statement to US authorities and you are here talking inducement. .There is no inducement from anywhere. A corrupt man perceives every other person to be corrupt.
You can decide to tell the full history of the world and middle east beginning from 1948 because that is what suits your hatred for a land and its people. The land and people of Israel is mentioned more than 40 times in the Quran, apart from the Bible. Ask yourself if that too was in 1948!
There is inducement, US Congress members admit to it. AIPAC influence in US politics and policy formulation is real and undeniable. America has always been better at everything, they don't need Israeli collaboration to be better. Even if you trace the history of the world beyond 1948, Israel still does not exist as a state. I am point at religious books that does not have verifiable facts but only believes to support claims. So, don't bring Quran here or Bible. Make only verifiable points.
That's AIPAC million dollars inducement influence. Before the enforcement of Israel on the world in 1948, was America lacking intelligence? Did US rely on Israel that does not exist for her intelligence in WW1 and WW2? Israeli intelligence to US is for the protection of Israel in the middle East not to the benefit of US. US had no enemies in the Middle East before the creation of Israel in 1948. So, how can US rely on Israel for intelligence? Isreal rely on US not the other way round. Infact, US bankrolls Isreal.
mikeapollo: Please google General George Keegan, former Chief of US Airforce Intelligence and his remark that US benefits from Israeli intelligence in a capacity equivalent to five (5) CIA operations combined;
Also, google US Senator Daniel Inouye's statement that Israel 's intelligence to US surpasses all of other NATO members combined.
Israel giving US intelligence about America's security? What's the job of CIA, FBI, her aid organisations and Embassies scattered all over the world including hundreds of military bases and Aircraft carriers located in virtually all important corners of world not to mention her submarines submerged in all the seas across the world gathering datas and information for US intelligence, security and defence purposes?
Israel is benefiting from Us than Us benefits from Israel. Don't over estimate Isreal, it's not a super power. She is only enjoying a symbiotic relationship with USA, where US provides the back, funds, machineries and protection for her to do her thing basking with arrogance in the American power cover.
mikeapollo: Not really. Israel gives a lot of intelligence to US too, which is very important to US. US gives a lot financial and military aid to Israel, but Israel also gives to US what no other nation gives to US
mikeapollo: Stop picking on Israel alone. The US also gives billions in aid and equipment to Egypt, S. Arabia, UAE, etc. All other countries in the middle east also buy weapons from Russia, China, N. Korea etc. But Israel also develops advanced weapons and sells to countries in Europe, Asia and beyond. How many of the middle east countries have been able to achieve that?
Yes, but Not Military 🪖🎖️ Aid. There are different kinds of Aid. And they oil treaty and deals that benefits US interests. Nothing goes for free. Only Israel gets it for free.
mikeapollo: So big countries like Germany and India do not know what you typed? And Germany and India would sign contracts with Israel to buy these equipment directly from Israel? Please, let us give credit where it is due. It is true that US gives weapons and aid to Israel. But Israel's experience with endless rocket attacks from its surrounding enemies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, etc) has made it to struggle and work very hard to invent some of the best air defense systems in the world:
Iron Dome Iron Beam Arrow 3 David's Sling.
Even if the US claims to own the Iron Dome, what about the other three systems?
The U.S. provides significant annual military aid to Israel, formalized by a 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for $3.8 billion per year through 2028, including $500 million for missile defense, supporting advanced weapons and systems like Iron Dome. In addition to this baseline, Congress has authorized substantial supplemental funding, especially after the October 7, 2023 attacks, totaling billions more for immediate military needs and replenishing stocks, reinforcing Israel's Qualitative Military Edge (QME). This funding is channeled primarily through Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and supports joint innovation, ensuring Israel's defense capabilities against regional threats. Key Aspects of U.S. Funding MOU Commitment: The 2016 MOU (effective 2019-2028) commits $3.8 billion annually ($3.3 billion FMF, $500M missile defense). Supplemental Aid: Post-October 7, 2023, Congress passed over $16 billion in supplemental aid, much for missile defense. Foreign Military Financing (FMF): Most funds are FMF grants, allowing Israel to purchase U.S. defense articles and services, including advanced systems like F-35s. Missile Defense: A key component, with funding for Iron Dome and other systems, supported by dedicated annual funds and supplemental allocations. Qualitative Military Edge (QME): U.S. policy ensures Israel maintains superior military capabilities, a principle Congress works to uphold. Funding Mechanism Congressional Approval: Even with MOUs, Congress must pass annual appropriations bills to release the funds. Appropriations Process: Recent bills have included specific earmarks for Israel, sometimes with conditions for Palestinian aid. Overall Impact Israel remains the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign military aid. This aid strengthens the strategic alliance and supports Israel's defense against various threats, including Hamas and other regional actors.

Hismajesty44: Pls say what you know. Israel & America are like oxygen and hydrogen that are inseparable in water. I love Trump.
America makes weapons, Israel demands for them and gets them quickly through their power AIPAC and other strong Israeli lobby.
Every power that Israel displays and bask in is American. I am saying what I know for a fact. If US stops being an ally of Israel, she will smell herself like a burnt he goat.
These are all American war machines given Israeli labels.
mikeapollo: Who says? Israel and US do a lot of joint research and development of military defense equipment and machinery but the finance and funding for large production comes mainly from US. That is the pure truth. Why is it that European countries are signing contracts with Israel to buy air defence systems like Arrow3 and David Sling?
kernniejay: How can Putin be a perfect person to be invited in a peace deal for another country when Putin is still firing Ukraine from all cylinders?
Is US even eligible to put together a so called board of peace being the murderer of Palestinians? Enabler of War crimes, kidnaper of a president, bomber of Iran the list goes on. A war criminal trump putting together a Board of Peace, funny shiiit
luvinhubby: So blaming a screwdriver seller in Onitsha is the result of the $9 million spent on lobbyists by our federal government despite the fact that Nigeria's government acknowledging they knew about the strike and provided intelligence for the US airstrike.
People are silly
Where did you see the word blame on the whole writeup?
God Almighty you are highly praised and appreciated. Thanks to all who contributed monies to make this happen. Terminal illness or diseases shall never be our portion. Amen
HeatSeeker: No. But banning it is synonymous with the boko haram ideology... Some I know your likes secretly want
Hey hey hey calm down...... Too early to throw jabs. Anything western civilization, Boko Haram is against it. But those who banned these western DJ style music at event also ban beers and gambling plus adultery. Don't you think they are trying to advance morality in their society?
And if it's okay for their people in Kano fine, I can be protesting for them when they are okay with it.
Greenland is about to become what parts of Gaza Palestine is to thr occupation forces these hypocrites support in Palestine.
Trump has scant regard for them and even fears and respects Iran more than the whole of Europe.
Putin is bashing them in the East while Trump is doing his own from the west. EU is literally gone.
The enemies of the people of Palestine are now at logger heads. Following Trump like mumu to authorize the death of innocent people, now the evil they support and protected is coming to their door step.
We we say respect the international law and deal justly in matters like this , they call people terror sympathizers and terrorist etc... Now Greenland is about to become Gaza if Trump actually take military action.
I am actually surprised to hear European leaders talking about international laws, UN charter etc..... Things they disregarded in matters concerning Palestine while supplying weapons to kill women and children in Palestine. God is wonderful
The dagger wants straight to your heart. You wish that your loved western countries will have that level of discipline but no, the are the headquarters of drug dealings, mass shootings and gambling
bigdawg7: All this muslim countries will be forming holy but they are the most corrupt
