Irony1: Good let us start with the analysis. What was the exchange rate then, convert 250m to Naira. Now add time value of money and add inflation to it and look at the total. Compare and contrast the amount taken to renovate and the cumulative USD value of 250m in 2025. When you do that, let us talk.
What year is the ICC build? What's the exchange rate when it was build?
Irony1: Guy I don't understand this obsession of Obi. We are talking of ICC that was built with 250m Naira that is how renovated with 39billion naira more than the initial cost of building it if you take into account time value of money and inflation. The only sensible thing in your mind is Obi!!! God will have mercy on you.
What year is the ICC built for #250m? What's the exchange rate then compare to now?
wowcatty: Gari is a Yoruba word from two words, ‘Iga’ which is the cassava paste presser and ‘Ori’ which is the process of woven bamboo strainer used in separating koko from the cassava meal just before roasting. The Portuguese got it from Yoruba, introduced it to other Africans and took it with them to feed some of their slaves in the new world. Gari is solely Yoruba and we’ve been eating it for thousands of years. We are the only people who have different names for every stage of the preparation while it’s just Gari in every form to all others. And yes it’s just a single ‘r’ in Gari. We need to start shaming people who appropriate new things from us, they’re not using Yoruba words out of love, they want to own it. We should start defending things they haven’t appropriated before it’s too late. I saw where people whose fathers and grandfathers never wore Agbada and probably couldn’t pronounce it, saying they co-own Agbada with Yoruba, these people in another 5 years will be back here asking where Agbada originates and how they own it. Akara is an example of that, the people claiming to own Akara today know that their own grandfathers didn’t know what Akara is and they didn’t taste it until they stepped in Yorubaland but because they’re hardwired to steal cultures and identities, it does not matter to them. These people are not Africans and that’s why they have no names for all the food they like to eat while Yoruba have 2-3 different words for a single thing. These people appropriate Yoruba’s own and claim to own it few years down the road. Take ‘Ponmo’ for an example is a Yoruba food that they will come for as soon as coast is clear and claim to own in no distant future because it’s now a household name like Akara. Tatase, Sonbo and Japa/Japada are others that they are warming up to claim. These people are not whole tribal nations, they’re British transplants, this is why their languages are incomplete and they are filling it up from Yoruba words. Yoruba must understand the need for us to start talking about culture appropriation as it’s frowned on all over the world.
I don't know about garri, but the Portuguese bought cassava to Africa. They brought cassava from south American countries like Brazil.

malali: In a major event that has drawn global attention, Iran has become the first country in the world to shoot down fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter jets. These aircraft, considered among the most advanced and expensive warplanes ever built, were being used by the Israeli military in an early Friday morning attack against Iran.
First Time in History: Fifth-Gen Jets Shot Down During this aggressive operation, several locations within Iran were targeted. The airstrikes led to the deaths of key military personnel, scientific experts, and innocent civilians, including women and children. However, in what is now being described as a historic moment in military defense, Iran’s air defense forces managed to detect, target, and destroy two F-35 fighter jets that had entered its airspace.
This successful action by Iran marks a global first — no other country until now has been able to bring down these stealth aircraft in active combat.
The F-35 is not an ordinary warplane. Built by the American aerospace company Lockheed Martin, it is one of the most modern fighter jets in the world. Its main feature is stealth — meaning it is designed to be almost invisible to radar. This allows it to enter enemy territory, carry out missions, and leave without being detected.

Israel, one of the few countries allowed to buy and use this aircraft, received its first F-35 jets around the year 2016. These were provided by the United States under a program called the Foreign Military Sales (FMS). Israel later developed its own version of the aircraft, known as the F-35I, which includes special changes to better suit its military needs. The F-35I is equipped with powerful technology that helps it avoid enemy radars and perform deep missions with low chances of being shot down. Because of these features, it is seen as a major part of Israel’s air power.
That is why the downing of not one, but two of these jets by Iran is a very big deal. It shows that even the most advanced aircraft in the world are not impossible to stop.
How Iran Brought Down the Stealth Fighters In an official statement released by the Iranian Army’s Public Relations Office, it was confirmed that two F-35 fighter jets were successfully shot down during the early Friday attack. Along with the jets, several drones belonging to Israel were also destroyed.
Iran’s air defense system played a key role in this event. While the details of how exactly the jets were detected and targeted remain classified, the success suggests that Iran has made major improvements in its radar and missile technology. Taking down a fifth-generation stealth aircraft is not easy. These jets are specifically built to avoid detection by traditional radar systems.
Despite their advanced design and technology, the two Israeli jets could not escape Iran’s growing air defense network. The fact that they were shot down shows that Iran has possibly developed new methods or used advanced tracking systems that can spot and target stealth aircraft.

As of now, the fate of the pilots who were flying the F-35 jets remains unknown. Iranian officials have stated that an investigation is ongoing, and more information will be provided in the future.
This development has sent shockwaves through military experts worldwide. It challenges long-held beliefs about the F-35’s invincibility and raises questions about how future air battles might look in a world where stealth is no longer a guaranteed shield.
This moment has now entered the record books as the first time ever that a country has managed to shoot down fifth-generation stealth fighters during a live conflict. It also represents a serious setback for Israel’s military and its defense partners, especially considering the cost and strategic value of each F-35 jet.
franchasng: IDF: The IAF concluded a wave of strikes in the skies of Tehran tonight, MG Tomer Bar: “These strikes carry operational and national significance. We damaged - and will continue to damage - strategic sites and enemy sources of knowledge"
Overnight, the IAF struck dozens of targets, including surface-to-air missile infrastructure, as part of the effort to damage the Iranian Regime's aerial defense capabilities in the area of Tehran.
Remarks from the Commanding officer of the Israeli Air Force, MG Tomer Bar at a situational assessment after the strikes in Tehran: "After an active day in which we struck hundreds of targets, including dozens of surface-to-air targets, we conducted a series of precise strikes of operational and national significance which improved our aerial superiority and our freedom of activity in Iran. For the first time since the beginning of the war, over 1,500 km from Israeli territory, the IAF struck defense arrays in the area of Tehran.
We chose to take action against an existential threat to our civilians, with professionalism, determination, and precision.
Activities like these require complicated coordination and collaboration between different sources and capabilities in the force. The IAF will continue to operate in all arenas, in offense, and in defense, as the long strategic arm of the IDF."
Obi didn't hold a local government election in Anambra state till he was about to leave power. What did Obi do with the billions of naira the LG areas in Anambra state were entitle to?
TallNigerian: So na to just dey fire projectiles aimlessly? I though Iran will retaliate with precision strikes too, taking down key members of the IDF.
They only have missiles. They have no modern fighter jets like the Israelis
Krak: Instead of all these, they should be focused on governing and pleasing their people instead. Also, they should be focused on cementing friendship with countries that are their real historic friends. Countries like Israel.
Could you believe that Israel and Iran had an historic friendship, until 1979 when the Islamists came to power and made Israel their enemies.
What this means is that Israel is not Irans enemy, it was the Islamic regime that made Israel an enemy. Ask most ordinary Iranians and they do not see Israel as an enemy.
The Islamic republic is different from the Iran you're talking about.
Majority of Iranians still support the islamist ruling them, that's why they have not kicked them out of power yet
Uptownerd: World War III: Iran Vows Massive Revenge After Israeli Attack Kills Top Military Officials
On June 13, 2025, tensions in the Middle East reached a boiling point. Israel launched a major attack on Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities and killing top military leaders, including General Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran has responded with a wave of over 100 drones aimed at Israel, and its leaders have promised a “severe” and “destructive” retaliation. The world is now watching closely, worried that this clash could spiral into a larger conflict, maybe even something as big as World War 3.
Israel has long seen Iran’s nuclear program as a huge threat. They believe Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb, which could be used against them. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the strikes “Operation Rising Lion,” saying they were needed to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. The attack hit Iran’s nuclear sites, missile factories, and military bases, and it killed important figures like Salami and two nuclear scientists. Israel says it acted alone, without U.S. help, but the U.S. was aware of the plan. This bold move has put Iran in a tough spot, and they’re not likely to stay quiet.
Iran’s response so far has been a drone attack, with over 100 drones launched toward Israel. Israel’s military says it’s intercepting these drones, and some were stopped outside Israeli territory. But Iran’s leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have warned of a much stronger reaction. Iran has promised a “history-making” response that could go beyond what they’ve done before, like their missile attacks on Israel in 2024. Iran’s military is weaker than it used to be—Israel has damaged its air defenses and weakened its allies like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza—but Iran still has missiles, drones, and proxy groups that could cause trouble. They’ve also started military exercises and opened a new uranium enrichment site, showing they’re ready to escalate.
So, how could Iran fight back? Iran has a few options. First, they could launch more drones and missiles directly at Israel. They have about 2,000 missiles that can reach Israel, though Israel’s air defenses are some of the best in the world. A big missile attack could overwhelm those defenses, especially if Iran uses drones to distract them. Second, Iran could use its proxy groups—militias in Iraq, Syria, or Yemen—to attack Israel or U.S. bases in the region. These groups are weaker now, but they could still cause damage. Third, Iran could target U.S. interests, like military bases in Iraq or ships in the Persian Gulf, since Iran sees the U.S. as Israel’s main supporter. Finally, Iran could speed up its nuclear program, making more enriched uranium to get closer to a bomb. This would be a long-term move, but it would scare Israel and others.
Now, let’s talk about how this could grow into a bigger conflict. If Iran hits back hard—say, with a massive missile attack or by targeting U.S. bases—it could pull other countries into the fight. The U.S. has already warned Iran not to attack its forces, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. wasn’t involved in Israel’s strikes. But if Iran hits U.S. targets, America might have to respond, maybe with airstrikes or more. This could lead to a cycle of attacks, with each side hitting harder. Other countries could get involved too. Saudi Arabia and Jordan have condemned Israel’s attack, and Pakistan has said it stands with Iran. If these nations or others like Russia or China start supporting Iran, either with weapons or direct action, the conflict could spread.
Could this really become World War 3? It’s possible, but it’s not certain. A global war would need major powers like the U.S., Russia, or China to get directly involved, not just send weapons or money. Right now, the U.S. is trying to avoid a bigger fight. President Donald Trump has been pushing for nuclear talks with Iran, and he’s said he prefers diplomacy over war. But if Iran attacks U.S. forces or if Israel keeps striking, the U.S. might have no choice but to jump in. Russia and China have ties with Iran, and they might step in to counter the U.S. or Israel. For example, Russia could send more weapons to Iran, like it did with air defense systems in the past. If NATO countries back the U.S. and Israel, and Russia or China back Iran, you could see a much bigger conflict.
Another factor is the region’s importance. The Middle East has a lot of oil, and fighting there could mess up global trade. When Israel attacked, oil prices jumped because people worried about Iran retaliating in places like the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil ships. If Iran blocks that route or attacks oil fields, it could hurt the world economy, pushing countries like the U.S., China, or Europe to get involved to protect their interests. This could make the conflict spread beyond the Middle East.
But there are reasons why this might not become World War 3. First, Iran’s military is weaker than before. Israel’s attacks last year took out key defenses, and Iran’s allies like Hezbollah are not as strong. This might limit how much damage Iran can do. Second, world leaders are calling for calm. Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer and New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon have urged both sides to de-escalate. Even the U.S., while supporting Israel, doesn’t want a full-scale war. Third, Iran might choose a limited response, like it did after Israel’s strikes in 2024, to avoid a bigger fight it can’t win. If both sides pull back, the conflict could stay contained.
Still, the risks are real. Israel’s attack was a big escalation, and Iran’s leaders are under pressure to hit back hard to save face. If they overdo it, or if Israel strikes again, the cycle of attacks could get out of control. The loss of top Iranian commanders makes it harder for Iran to plan a smart response, which could lead to mistakes. Plus, the nuclear issue is a wild card—Israel attacked to stop Iran’s nuclear program, but if Iran pushes forward with it, Israel or the U.S. might feel forced to act again.
For regular people, this all feels scary. In Israel, folks are stocking up on food and water, expecting more attacks. In Iran, people are angry but also worried about more hardship. The rest of the world is holding its breath, hoping this doesn’t spiral into something bigger. The chances of World War 3 depend on what happens next. If Iran’s retaliation is small and Israel stops attacking, things might cool
Iran only rely on it's missiles. Their Air defense and fighter jets are nothing to write home about
SarkinYarki: Seems more assassinations being carried out today ... Israeli jets openly refueling over Iran airspace as they prepare for another wave of bombing soon
This is a big shame on Iran
Instead of dem to equip Thier military before making mouth. They only rely on their missiles.
Their Air force is nothing to write home about. They should be working on getting aircrafts like SU35 and SU57 and air defense system like S400 and S500
Iran just knows how to bark. They can't even defend their country from Israel strikes. A lot of their nuclear sites were attacked and some generals were killed in the attack. They have 2 important nuclear site Israel is not able to destroy yet sha
They should spend money on good weapons like S500 and S400, SU35 and SU57 etc.
