Since Israel began its concerted attack on Iran, calls for regime change have grown louder, with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raising the possibility of targeting Tehran’s all-powerful leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Many Iranians have firsthand experience with the United States enforcing a regime change in their country.

Here’s what happened:
Oil fields: In 1953, the US helped stage a coup to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh.

He had pledged to nationalize the country’s oil fields – a move the US and Great Britain saw as a serious blow, given their dependence on oil from the Middle East.

Height of the Cold War: The move to nationalize was seen as popular in Iran and a victory for the then-USSR.

Strengthen Shah rule: The coup’s goal was to support Iran’s monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to rule as Shah of Iran, and appoint a new prime minister, Gen. Fazlollah Zahedi.

The coup: Before the coup, the CIA, along with the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), helped foment anti-Mossadegh fervor using propaganda. In 1953, the CIA and SIS helped pull pro-Shah forces together and organized large protests against Mossadegh, which were soon joined by the army.

US cash: To provide Zahedi, the country’s new prime minister, with some stability, the CIA covertly made $5,000,000 available within two days of him taking power, documents showed.

US acknowledgement: In 2013, declassified CIA documents were released, confirming the agency’s involvement for the first time. But the US role was known: Former President Barack Obama acknowledged involvement in the coup in 2009.

It backfired: After toppling Mossadegh, the US strengthened its support for Pahlavi to rule as Shah. Iranians resented the foreign interference, fueling anti-American sentiment in the country for decades.

Islamic Revolution: The Shah became a close ally of the US. But in the late 1970s, millions of Iranians took to the streets against his regime, which they viewed as corrupt and illegitimate. Secular protesters opposed his authoritarianism, while Islamist protesters opposed his modernization agenda.

The Shah was toppled in the 1979 Islamic revolution, which ended the country’s Western-backed monarchy and ushered in the start of the Islamic Republic and clerical rule.

350 million naira per annum salary and quarterly benefits of 75 million naira. Then this man can afford to buy properties what are we saying.

The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, has overturned the final forfeiture order issued on the assets of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to the Federal Government.

In a split decision of two-to-one, delivered on April 9, 2025, and detailed in a certified true copy obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, the appellate court set aside the judgment and ordered a retrial of the case at the lower court.

The Federal High Court in Lagos had, in its ruling on November 1, 2024, granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s application for the final forfeiture of Emefiele’s assets.

The forfeited assets included two fully detached duplexes located at No. 17B, Hakeem Odumosu Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos; an undeveloped land measuring 1,919.592 square metres with survey plan No. DS/LS.340 at Oyinkan Abayomi Drive (formerly Queens Drive), Ikoyi, Lagos; a bungalow at No. 65A Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos and a four-bedroom duplex at No. 12A, Probyn Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Others were – an industrial complex under construction on 22
plots of land in Agbor, Delta State; eight units of uncompleted
apartments on a plot measuring 2,457.60 square metres at No.
8A Adekunle Lawal Road, Ikoyi, Lagos and a fully detached
duplex on a plot measuring 2,217.87 square metres at No. 2A
Bank Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Additionally, the court ordered the forfeiture of $2,045,000
and shares certificates in Queensdorf Global Fund Limited to
the Federal Government.
The EFCC had argued that the properties were reasonably
suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful
activities.

Dissatisfied with the lower court’s decision, Emefiele,
represented by his legal team led by Olalekan Ojo (SAN),
appealed the decision.
The EFCC was named as the sole respondent in the appeal
marked CA/LAG/CV/1051/24.
The appellant raised five issues for determination. “Whether
the trial judge adequately evaluated the totality of the affidavit
evidence before granting the EFCC’s motion for the final
forfeiture of the listed properties.
“Whether the trial judge erred in not holding that the appellant
had established an interest in the listed properties, thereby
warranting a refusal of the forfeiture application.
“Whether it was proper to dismiss the appellant’s motion for a
stay of proceedings in both the civil and criminal cases against
the appellant.
“Whether the trial court ought to have struck out the EFCC’s
counter-affidavit for not being provided for under Section 17
of the Advance Fee Fraud Act and whether the trial judge was
correct in declining jurisdiction to entertain the appellant’s
application for a stay of proceedings,” the appellant stated.
EFCC counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), however, argued that
the “appellant did not produce single evidence on how He
acquired the forfeited properties but only placed the purported
income he received from Zenith Bank and Central Bank before
the court and that how he used the funds to acquire the
properties were not shown to the court.”

He added that Emefiele did not show to the court a single
piece of evidence of transfer of legitimate funds from him to
the sellers of the properties provided, adding that none of the
properties was acquired in the name of the appellant as
submitted by his counsel but rather they were acquired in
various company names which do not have him as a
shareholder or director.
Oyedepo added, “The companies in whose names the
properties were acquired did not challenge the forfeiture of
the properties.”
He also added that the appellant failed to declare all the
forfeited assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
He contended that since the appellant could not show cause
how he legitimately acquired the forfeited properties, the
decision of the trial court forfeiting them to the Federal
Government was in order.
In the judgment delivered by Justice Abdulazeez Anka, the
court held that it was convinced that the legitimate earnings of
the appellant could acquire the properties.
Justice Anka held, “These funds are the legitimate earnings of
the appellant as provided and the contention of the appellant
as I do comprehend is that from his earnings from the days he
was at Zenith Bank up to his career as CBN governor for 10
years in office, he can be able to afford the said properties in
contention.”
He added that from the contentions of the appellant before
him, “he deposed to the fact that at his exit as the Managing
Director of Zenith Bank, his severance package was in excess
of a 1,750,000,000, while his acquired Zenith Bank share was
in the values of a 500,000,000 and then as CBN Governor his
annual remuneration is at a N350,000,000 per annum, with
quarterly reimbursements of N75m, excluding estacodes paid
for foreign trips which is at $6,285,000 at $5,000 per day.”


Speaking further, Justice Anka said the facts presented before
him, which are the facts presented by the parties before the
trial court, were very conflicting and highly disputed as regards
the legitimacy of the properties in contention as provided and,
as such, “there is in my view a need to call for further oral as
well as documentary evidence where possible and for parties
to cross-examine the deponents and witnesses.

He further held that the income of the appellant was more
than enough to buy up the properties in question and even
more.
Speaking further, he stated that he also noticed that Emefiele
declared his, and his wife’s code of conduct forms, attached
to the counter affidavit, indicating his and his wife’s properties
and assets.
The judge noted that while the assets declared are for the
years 2014 and 2019, the properties sought to be forfeited
permanently covered the period 2020 to 2023, “which means
that, the appellant’s code of conduct forms filled in 2014 or
2019 could not have conceivably covered properties bought in
2020.
“It is absurd, therefore, to expect the appellant to have
declared properties acquired in 2020 in forms filled in 2014.
The declaration the prosecution ought to have properly
queried is, therefore, the next declaration to follow in 2023.”
The judge further held “Now, in view of the parallel pendency
of both criminal and civil action, common sense, logic and the
law dictate that the criminal action ought to be disposed of
before the civil one can even be initiated.
“In the circumstances therefore, I too allow this appeal in part,
the final forfeiture having been set aside, thus affording parties
the opportunity of calling witnesses to buttress their respective
positions at the lower court.
“Accordingly, I hereby order that the case be remitted back to
the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, for re-hearing by
any judge other than Hon Justice D. I. Dipeolu. l abide by the
consequential orders.”

Small businesses are losing because of high transportation cost.

Tourism and travel is dead because of insecurity.

Families are starving be a use the useless minimum wage is useless

So with all this Nigerians will come out to vote a failure.

Xammie001:

My man travel and see something.

Go and vacation in potiskum, may be I'll take you serious.

Kushites:
I don’t have time to argue with your type.

The US crime statistics and gun crime numbers are there for all to see.

Evening schooled student quoting me.

America's Street gang are not Bandits.
Street gang don't lay ambush in the forest
Street gangs are not agitators

If America was not safe the country can not enjoy much progress.

You that are typing what you don't know take a trip to potiskum borno state.

Kemetian:
Has America defeated its bandits?

Or you don’t know that tens of thousands of people are shot in America every year?

Why haven’t the US army been deployed to stop the shootings?

Does that make you question US military might?

Low self esteem experts.

Netanyahu is just a character in life's big drama. If you take him away, a character like him will replace him and life goes on.

A lot of things are attached to Netanyahu that makes his character peculiar.

Isreal is the home of Christians and no Christian will want Netanyahu out.

Christians are more in the world with over 4 billion.

However peace with out justice is death.

Africa is gone. For Nigeria to be third. That shows Africans are not serious.


Nigeria that can not defeat bandits

The isreal vs Iran news will not go any time soon.

The YouTube link says can not load. Are you sure of this news.
