It's illegal. Plain and simple. Nigeria is a lawless country that's why things are not working.

The charges against mazi Kanu are flimsy and baseless.

Sad. Really sad what is going on in Nigeria.
If herdsmen are not killing, then it's Bandits and if Bandits are not killing. Then us ritualist.

Please stay safe.

Although am Not from Abia state but the electrification project ortl is doing is a break from the norm.

Many governors Siphon money. Nigeria needs more of electrical projects.

seunowa:
Hmmm I think you are right, the same question should be directed to Otti of Abia state " how much was used in constructing less than 10km of road, he recently commissioned with funfair?

The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel – a prominent research institution that is home to about 2500 scientists, students, technicians and scientific support staff – was devastated by Iranian missiles on 15 June.


The planetary sciences building, which houses geochemistry labs among other chemistry programmes, was effectively destroyed in the attack. Damage was also sustained to other nearby facilities. The Iranian strikes were launched in retaliation to Israeli missile attacks that began on 13 June, which targeted Iran’s uranium enrichment sites and its nuclear scientists

Milko van der Boom, dean of the Weizmann Institute’s faculty of chemistry, says around 45 labs sustained serious damage. ‘In my faculty, about 100 people don’t have a lab or a desk anymore, and for the whole campus that’s probably 400 or 500 people,’ van der Boom tells Chemistry World. ‘We don’t know the full damage yet, but probably it will cost more than $500 million (£372 million) and maybe close to a billion dollars to address across campus.’

Yael Kiro, a geochemist whose lab was in the planetary sciences building, says the facility is currently non-operational. ‘Definitely the lab work is completely paused,’ she says. ‘I arrived at the Weizmann Institute about six years ago, and it took me a while to establish and build my clean lab … I was very proud of it.’ Kiro adds: ‘The first time I went into the lab after the missile hit, I was very sad and felt pain seeing everything in this state.’
Kiro and her colleagues were able to rescue their geological, seawater, groundwater, plant and soil samples by quickly moving them from refrigerators and freezers that had lost electricity to functional ones elsewhere on campus.

Geochemist Itay Halevy’s lab was in the same building, and also suffered severe damage. ‘All the windows imploded, a lot of the equipment fell off the benches, some of the cabinets fell off the walls,’ he says.


Analytical equipment destroyed
------—-------------------------------------
Halevy and his colleagues haven’t yet been able to fully evaluate the damage. However, he notes that many instruments will need to be replaced. ‘It looks like most of the analytical equipment will have to go – mass spectrometers, spectrophotometers, microscopes,’ he tells Chemistry World. ‘All of those are probably damaged beyond repair.’
‘Some instrumentation we know is gone – in life sciences we had really great optical microscopes that are completely gone,’ says van der Boom. ‘But in our faculty of chemistry, I don’t know yet the status of our NMRs, MRIs and electron microscopes, for example.’


Sarel Fleishman, whose lab works on computational protein design, says that many irreplaceable biological samples were also destroyed. ‘Generations of students had worked on this,’ he adds.

The planetary sciences facility was not hit directly but was damaged by the shockwaves generated when one of Iran’s missiles landed on a new chemistry building that was under construction.

An initial assessment indicates that the new chemistry building can be saved, but van der Boom estimates that the project will likely be delayed by two to three years.

Weizmann is ‘a ghost town’
---------------------------------------
Van der Boom notes that Weizmann has received a lot of support from national and international research community, who are offering to lend their lab space and instrumentation.

However, he adds that the university has become ‘a ghost town.’ According to van der Boom, more than 200 international students and postdoctoral fellows who lived in Weizmann housing have been relocated off campus, while 70 had left Israel as of 20 June.

Frivolous projects and wasteful spending. What's the use of it. I guess when asked amount spent you would hear trillions.

According to sources familiar with it, Iran's centrifuges remain largely "intact" with the destruction limited to aboveground buildings.

Trump will create a beast out of Tehran. You don't enter discussions only to renege

Donald Trump and his top officials have pushed back on a leaked intelligence report that said US strikes on Iran only set its nuclear programme back by a few months.

Speaking at a Nato summit in The Hague on Wednesday, Trump said the strikes led to the "virtual obliteration" of Iran's nuclear capabilities and set its atomic programme back "by decades".

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was also at the summit, said the preliminary Pentagon assessment was made with "low confidence" and the FBI was investigating the leak.

On Tuesday, sources familiar with the initial report into Saturday's bombings told the BBC's US partner CBS that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was not eliminated.

They added that the strikes had only set the country's nuclear programme back by a few months - an assessment the White House swiftly described as "flat-out wrong".

According to the report, strikes on the heavily fortified enrichment facilities at Fordo and Natanz had sealed off entrances but failed to destroy underground structures.

Officials familiar with the leaked Defense Intelligence Agency evaluation warned it was an early assessment that could change as more information becomes available about the sites.

The Defense Intelligence Agency is the Pentagon's own agency which specialises in military intelligence to support operations. It collects large amounts of technical intelligence, but is distinct from other agencies like the CIA.

The US has 18 intelligence agencies, which sometimes produce conflicting reports based on their mission and area of expertise. For example, the American intelligence community is still not in agreement over the origins of Covid-19.

On Wednesday, while sitting alongside Nato Chief Mark Rutte, Trump initially acknowledged some uncertainty, saying the intelligence on the attack was "very inconclusive".

But he then went further in his assessment, saying "it was very severe, it was [an] obliteration".

When asked if the US would strike again should Iran resume its nuclear activities, Trump said: "Sure, but I'm not going to have to worry about that. It's gone for years."

Trump later likened the strikes to America's atomic bombing of Hiroshima at the end of World War Two.

"I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima, I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing - that ended a war," he said.

The US president was flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, who both echoed his scepticism about the leaked intelligence.

Hegseth said the leak was politically motivated and insisted the bombs landed "precisely where they were supposed to".

He added: "Any assessment that tells you it was something otherwise is speculating with other motives." He characterised the leak as "completely false".

Rubio also cast doubt on the leaked report's credibility, suggesting the contents had been distorted in the media and labelling the leakers as "professional stabbers".

The preliminary assessment also indicated that some of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile had been moved prior to the attack.

According to sources familiar with it, Iran's centrifuges remain largely "intact" with the destruction limited to aboveground buildings.

Entrances to two nuclear facilities were blocked and some infrastructure was damaged, they said, but much of the deeper installations survived the blasts.

In US intelligence terminology, "low confidence" typically indicates that the information is either poorly sourced, fragmented, or uncertain - making it less reliable than assessments graded with "moderate" or "high confidence".

Hegseth's reference to the report being "low confidence" suggest it is tentative and its findings may change as more detail emerges.

The US struck three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday - Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan - using "bunker buster" bombs designed to penetrate hardened underground targets.

While the specific munitions used in the attack have not been confirmed, the 30,000lb (14,000kg) Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), was thought to be the only weapon capable of destroying Iran's underground enrichment facilities.

Tehran has always said its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes

Another stupid alpha male in the mud. Such a depraved soul.

CNN
—
A serial rapist who was convicted of raping 10 women in the United Kingdom and China has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 24 years.

Zhenhao Zou, 28, was sentenced Thursday at Inner London Crown Court. Judge Rosina Cottage told him he would serve 22 years and 227 days before he was eligible for parole, taking into account time spent on remand, according to the UK’s PA Media.

Zou was found guilty in March of 11 counts of rape, one count of false imprisonment, three counts of voyeurism and a number of other offenses, including the possession of extreme pornographic images and the possession of a controlled drug with intent to commit a sexual offense.

Many of his victims were “unconscious and rendered defenseless” after being drugged, according to prosecutors.
Police and prosecutors said Zou, who also used the name “Pakho” online, contacted students of Chinese heritage on WeChat and dating apps, inviting them to his apartments in London and China to drug and assault them. The police said he also took items from his victims, including jewelry and clothing.

The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service said Zou filmed some of the attacks using a mobile device and hidden cameras. The police said he “manipulated and drugged women in order to prey on them in the most cowardly way.”

Zou was a PhD student at University College London. He was arrested in January 2024 after one of his victims came forward to police

.Prosecutors in March said that the “courageous women who came forward to report Zhenhao Zou’s heinous crimes” had been “incredibly strong and brave” and that there was “no doubt” that their evidence had led to his convictions.

Tinubu has messed up Nigerias polical space with his gbague politics.

Imposing state of emergency in rivers.

While benue, Plateau, Taraba and Kaduna have turned to blood farms.

This is just the beginning of a cycle of death. People should learn from history.

Where's the United nations when you need them.

There's nothing harsh in this. It's called sarcasm. Tinubu did worst so he shouldn't expect less.

Kaido:
I feel sad for the people of Benue state but this is so harsh.

I like you confession here.

So because some people lied about GEJ

Your god tinubu has proved that he's a daft and only good at lying.

Hope that your god will learn to speak the truth.

helinues:
So because some people lied about GEJ, is that the reason why you guys are shamelessly lying about this?

The Olowo is under the governor now. Besides we have adopted democracy and we have lived like that for 64 years now..

So if Akete was alive will the Olowo try this shit.

Factcheck0001:
oga if u aren't from there u can't understand their culture and tradition.

Aketi was told clearly that it is sacrilege to built something like that close to the palace cos in Yoruba land d king doesn't see corpses n he doesn't visit burial sites.

Imagine a king having to pass through this route everytime

With your response I can bet u ain't yoruba

Tinubu messed Nigeria up with his style of fraudulent politics.

As he failed to visit Yelewata. The people built this to remind him of failure.

Very sad a memorial is a reminder. Now all will be forgotten. The souls of the departed will hunt Aiyedatiwa for being Foolish.

BTW who is Olowo of Owo to question the governor.

In June 2022, at least 40 worshippers were killed by suspected terrorists with scores injured during morning Mass at the church

The Ondo State Government has demolished the memorial park built by a former governor of the state, the late Rotimi Akeredolu, to honour and immortalise the worshippers of St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo, killed in a terrorist attack on the church in 2022.
The cenotaph — which had the names of the victims of the attack and was located at the heart of the ancient town — was said to have been demolished on the order of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

The Chief Press Secretary to Aiyedatiwa, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, confirmed the demolition of the monument to newsmen
He said the decision was taken by the government after complaints from the palace about the site of the cenotaph
“It was a special request from the palace of the Olowo as it is said to be against the culture and tradition to site such near the palace.”
Meanwhile, the Olowo-in-Council has said that it warned the administration of a former governor of Ondo State, the late Rotimi Akeredolu, against contruction a memorial park to immortalise the worshippers of St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo, killed in a terrorist attack on the church in 2022.

This was contained in a statement from the place.

It said celebrating the dead near the palace was not in conformity with the age-long culture and traditions of Owo
It said that all advice to then state government regarding the location of the park was dismissed by the former governor.

“In view of the public reactions generated by the demolition of the Memorial Park supposedly built in honour of June 5, 2022, murderous attack victims at St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, the Palace wishes to say unequivocally that the request for this action was at the instance of His Imperial Majesty, Olowo of Owo and the entire good people of the kingdom.

“It must be made clear that the decision to site the structure in that particular location was resisted by the Olowo-in-Council and frowned upon by the people of the community when it was being conceived by the government of the late Governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN,” a statement from the palace read in part.

The palace said the former administration also disregarded the protest by the youth against the location of the memorial park.

It said, “All advice to the late governor that celebrating the dead in any guise around the palace is not in conformity with the age-long culture and traditions of Owo was defiantly dismissed, even at a time a protest was made by concerned Owo youths and stakeholders to that effect which the then governor disregarded.

“The above position of the palace is vindicated by the enthusiasm shown by the Owo people and the deluge of commendations across sundry media platforms in support of the demolition.”

While stating that it would provide additional information on the incident, it urged those against the demolition to direct their questions towards the palace.

It added, “The Olowo-in-Council will soon come out to avail the public with the comprehensive details of all that happened before and during the construction of the structure which led to the current development.

“And before then, we advise anyone with any issues whatsoever against the demolition to make the palace their target and not the listening Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, who is not in any way responsible for the demolition.”

In June 2022, no fewer than 40 worshippers were brutally killed by armed men, suspected to be terrorists, with scores injured during an early morning Mass at the church.

In 2023, the late Akeredolu constructed the memorial park to honour the victims.

Is like the southwest are catching up.

Trump should remember Afghanistan, after America planted Mujaideen to fight the Soviet Union, which later metamorped into taliban, who later dealt America a death blow. He should thread lightly.

Reuters) - Iran said on Monday that the U.S. attack on its nuclear sites expanded the range of legitimate targets for its armed forces and called U.S. President Donald Trump a "gambler" for joining Israel's military campaign against the Islamic Republic.
Since Trump joined Israel's campaign by dropping massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, Iran has repeatedly threatened to retaliate.

But while it has continued to fire missiles at Israel, it has yet to take action against the United States itself, either by firing at U.S. bases or by targeting the 20% of global oil shipments that pass near its coast at the mouth of the Gulf.
"Mr Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to end it," Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters, said on Monday in English at the end of a recorded video statement.

Iran and Israel traded another wave of air and missile strikes on Monday as the world braced for Tehran's response.
Trump's administration has repeatedly said that its aim is solely to destroy Iran's nuclear programme, not to open a wider war.
But in a social media post on Sunday, Trump openly spoke of toppling the hardline clerical rulers who have been Washington's principal foes in the Middle East since Iran's 1979 revolution.

"It’s not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change MIGA!!!" he wrote.
Experts surveying commercial satellite imagery said it appeared that the U.S. attack had severely damaged the site of Iran's Fordow nuclear plant, built inside a mountain, and possibly destroyed it and the uranium-enriching centrifuges it housed, although there was no independent confirmation.

Trump called the strike a "Bullseye!!!".
"Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran," he wrote. "The biggest damage took place far below ground level."

Take it from me isreal is playing a script.
Where was America in Apathied South Africa
Where was America in Apartheid Brasil
Where was America in Apartheid Guatemala

Don't be quick to quote read do research. America is a survivalist nation. For them any thing to survive is welcomed

Moniter0:
Israel has no choice but to stop Iran from getting weapons of mass destruction. Iran is not chanting "death to Israel" for the fun of it, they want the weapons to wipe out Israel, and that's not gonna happen. You say Israel should not stop them in order to avoid "death on both sides" according to you, but don't want to acknowledge what will happen to many Israelis if the Tērrorists in Iran are not stopped.

But Israel has outlived and thrived against kingdoms, governments, and empires that came against their existence through our history and will in on doubt outlive the Terrorìsts in Iran.

. I am a proud and honest Christian. I see you brought religion into this discus.

Let me tell you something christ said.
`You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free`

Now let me enlighten you. Iran used to be ruled by a monarch. Who aligned himself with the Soviet Union.
Back then America was operating segregation goverment. Which was White rule only.
The monarchs followed Soviet Union to fight Apathied governments in Africa, South America and even Europe.

America raised a proganda of corruption against the monarchs, funded opposition like ayatollahs and revolutionary groups.


These groups fought sided by side to remove the monarchs and later adopted presidential system that was later hijacked by the ayatollahs. Who ruled till today.

My point is that America is a survivalist nation they sell their ideas so they can live.

This is the same America the practised Apathied and supported Apartheid in Africa and South America.

Ruke1990:
You are a Muslim and it's normal for a Muslim to deflect from the truth. Watch interviews of Iranians who are ex Muslims and former IRGC members if you think ayatollah is seeking nuclear weapons for the fun of it. Iranians who knows him better will tell you it's a lie

After reading your input, I realised that you are still a student in the school of propaganda and have not yet graduated.

America has been using isreal vs Arab War bullshit to sell off their piles of munitions. this cycle of violence that they created serves their purpose only.

Most part of the world where America have broked peace, they leave trail of blood and violence.

Now who is reckless a Netanyahu that operates on hearsay. Launching provocative attacks that he calls preemptive.

Or Ayatollah who is responding from an unprovoked barrage of missiles.

Whichever way you see it one thing is certain American company's are profiting from this nonsense war and innocent lives are being wasted.

Moniter0:

Something is wrong with governance of APC. Who will want to live in a IDP camp.
That shows failure in governance.which means bad leaders in office

It's time INEC should let the people's vote count. So we can put intelligent and honest people in office.

Sadly people chest beating in Nigeria don't really no what propaganda is causing.

Lives are being wasted on both sides. Do you think isreal will tell you lives they've lost.

Yet some of you are singing the war song not truly concerned about the truth.

Nigeria is now an eye sore globally.

People opportuned to travel abroad try to be good ambassadors

Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry Silent as UAE Blocks Visas, Demands Nigerians Show $60,000 Bank History for Entry

Thousands of Nigerians are reportedly being barred from securing transit or tourist visas to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to an unverified yet widely enforced requirement: maintaining a minimum monthly bank balance of $10,000 for six consecutive months, totalling $60,000. Yet, Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has remained unresponsive, offering no public clarification, guidance, or diplomatic intervention.

While UAE authorities have denied implementing such financial requirements, pointing instead to standard criteria such as a passport, a photo, travel insurance, and a return ticket, travel agents and visa processing intermediaries continue to demand them. Applicants are also being asked to pay a non-refundable processing fee of ₦640,000 (approx. $1,500), further compounding the burden.

These practices appear to be selectively applied. There is no indication that other West African nationals, including Ghanaians or Côte d’Ivoire, face the same restrictions, raising serious concerns that Nigerians are being deliberately singled out and financially profiled.

Many Nigerians have called it a “constructive travel ban,” effectively shutting out Nigerians under the guise of bureaucratic procedure. Despite growing public outrage, online outcry, and mounting pressure, Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry has not issued a statement, engaged UAE counterparts, or offered support to affected citizens.

This silence has drawn heavy criticism from citizens who view the Ministry’s inaction as a dereliction of duty. In a time when diplomatic representation is urgently needed, the absence of a strong response has left Nigerians vulnerable, frustrated, and excluded from legitimate international travel.

Without official intervention, many applicants are being turned away or driven into the hands of third-party agents and unofficial networks that charge even higher fees. The lack of transparency and protection has created a climate of uncertainty, making even routine travel inaccessible for average Nigerians.

As the situation continues, many argue that the Ministry must do more than remain a passive observer. It must act decisively to challenge these discriminatory barriers and advocate for equal treatment of Nigerian citizens abroad.

I no support Tinubu oo
But why is there always bomb threats when northerners want to express that they are not happy with a southerner president.

We are in the season of sacrifice. APC needs blood.

But what goes around comes around.
Tinubu called GEJ unprintable names. the evil he brought is crawling up his ass.
