Verily is actually a life science company, not tech company. The news has to be sensationalised, thats why their Parent company, Alphabet, which is a conglomerate had to be mentioned. Google is another company under Alphabet.

VonScott:
In fact I'm offended, what's with these tech companies dabbling into public health?
Perhaps, it's time to cut off something..

If the bandits are kidnapping and executing happy people like you and leaving we, the bitter ones who want to change the country for better alone, would it not be good for the nation.

Bitter ones will soon invade this thread with insults and hateful comment against the first lady

What has a contest between Makinde (a true Yoruba son, with father and mother's house in Yoruba land) vs Tinubu (a supposed Yoruba person without any ancestry trace in Yoruba land) got to do with Obi? And when you say, Yoruba and tribalism, is a bastard (BAT) more deserving of the tribalism of your version of Yoruba than a true son (Makinde)? Because I am confused. And you can start by telling us Tinubu's father and mother's root in Yoruba land.

FSBoperator:
Oga rest nah.

If you think you can get Yorubas to drop their tribalism while you flaunt yours, you have a big surprise coming

Even your Obi will not smell 0.5% in Kano.

The biggest disgrace will be NDC scoring less than 5,000 votes in Kano

Aye e ti baje. When are you going to say something about muslin terrorists that behead a teacher in Oyo. The Flotilla anarchists deserve more.

God1000:
The guy is simply a terrorist alongside satanyahu, unfortunately terrorist sympathizers in Nigeria continue to worship such character

Read about his family, they are terrible. I mean his offsprings. I'm not saying they are xenophobic, but they are a cesspool of controversies.

jeff1993:
Mandela must be deeply ashamed of these nonentities

LOL. Many of you urgently need a bed in psychiatric hospital. Because what is this? How do you even conceived this thought. Ahah!

dettolgel:
haha unfortunately he was not the one that off Osama. For the fact that Obama killed Osama is still paining Trump

I can assure you that they are very bitter about it.

Melagros:
COMRADES, if this killing is true, fine. But my question is that; those Nairalanders supporting Iranians, what will they say about this news? Will they commend USA for this feat or will they still condemn the US?

If they overstep their boundaries. They will still be killed in the first day of war. And their only response will be some barrage of missles at some countries, to destroy some military equipments that can be replaced in few months. America budget $700 billion to 1 trillion for defence every year. Replacing equipments that cost some tens of billions should not be a big deal. By the way, the biggest obstacle that Trump faced in the war is public opinion and the upcoming mid-term. Iran was just all drama and propaganda, using American social media products. You why he is reluctant to win there: he has elections to win. The funny thing is that Iran never pull up any special fight, just some aimless attacks, tell your terrorist friend to allow their citizens access to Internet. I'm sure, the good Iranian people (who hate the Mullah so much) will show us how bad things are. Iran is so weak that Two U.S pilots crashed on their territory, stayed two days there, and Iran was unable to capture them before U.S did; did you know how poor that is? But, one of the factors that influence supporting Iran is extreme delusion. So enjoy it, I'm out.

malakaimoscondo:
trump killed Ali Khameini and replaced him with mojtaba Ali khameini..and call it regime change..let me tell u,the current Iranian leaders are more hardline the the previous..why is trump reluctant to restart the war?Taco always after issuing threat

Good. Now allow your citizens access to Internet. And try and bury Khameni and his son.

Nigerians and their obsession with man, woman, sex, dating, marriage, relationship, and similar topic. Tomorrow, another similar silly topic will be pushed forward again.

God will destroy you and that Tinubu for politicising the pain and death of innocent Nigerians. If there were forces, was it not that duty of the C-in-C to deal with them. But the guy is cursed, and so are you.

franktech:
These killings are becoming too much. Sometimes, it feels like certain forces are bent on tarnishing the image of Tinubu’s government despite efforts to move Nigeria in the right direction.

Nigeria must come first. Enough of the bloodshed.

I bet you dont even really understand the idea behind free-trade zone. First, it is not some brainiac thing. FTZ usually works around areas with major seaports, international airports, or other national frontiers. What is the purpose of that in a landlock state? And I did not hype, you asked a simple question and I gave you simple verifiable answer. Enjoy your evening. I hope bandits are not where you are sha?

Basic123:
If you are hyping brewery like this,
So,what will you now say about the brain behing LEKKI FREE TRADE ZONE?

It is. He invested in factories. Specifically, a brewery that generates hundreds of millions/billions of naira every year and employ thousands of people. The status of Onitsha main market (the largest in Subsaharan Africa) was significantly improved under him. And there are many more. People like you are why Hundeyin is wrong. Nigeria is where we are today because of successive bad governments who have weaponized poverty and ignorance so much that many people, including you, reason and make decisions the wrong way, to the benefits of your political gods.

Basic123:
To intelligent people only

After going through the write up,

Then look at Anambra,


Are you not really confused?

Is Anambra not supposed to the model for whatever P.O is promising us..Is Anambra looking like the europe or America that humdeyin was talking about?

Someone predicted this not long ago. The aviation sector is just too important to them. And they cannot manage to bring themselves to use the road transport.

That untrained terrorists are killing your kind in drove is epistle? Tor.

Emu4life:
Epistle

Iron Dome failed? Or it was not economically wise to use it to intercepte cheap drones that Iran was firing? The audacity of this mass ignorance is crazy. It costs around $100,000 per 1 interception. Now with this cheap option, drone interception just got easier. If your country is 1/10,000 as proactive as Israel, maybe untrained terrorists will not be killing you in drove.

Emu4life:
They should keep it in Tel Aviv to assist the failing Iron Doom

Those are Ignorant people, whose knowledge are limited only to Social Media era. After they beat Egypt four times back-to-back between 1967 and 1973, nobody adviced the president of Egypt then to go to Jerusalem to go make peace. They even have more war winning record than U.S.

angelboy01:
People say without the USA Israel is nothing but what I see it's Israel that's more conservative with funds and even have more advanced weaponry without spending so much unlike the USA. I dey baffle at Israel.

Israel has won more complicated war without U.S. What is Iran. Iran launched over 10,000 missles, and they only managed to destroy some buildings, cars and few plants. Let Iran show us current picture of Iran. Let them cancel their internet blockade so their citizens will tell us what is left of Iran. Israel has more war winning record than any current country in the world. How many war has United State collaborate directly with Israel on? When did U.S even start this fond relationship with Israel sef. Israel has been winning war since 1948, immediately after WWII. Every Navi members that participated in the Holocaust, they killed them one after the other. They have been killing Iran's nuclear scientists for decades, and Iran can only fight back through shadow war. Even in this current war, they have killer many top Iran officials, Iransl was unable to kill one in Israel. There is a huge gap between the two countries, except if you are delusional.

Mirasteel:
How comes the laser dome couldn't stop all Iranian missiles entering Israel? all these things are trash and their will never be Isreal without USA.

What is your thinking for your third world country in 20 years? What is the thinking of your country for 20 years? Your country is a 230 million people that have no thinking, except voting terrible leaders. Now, let me educate you: the post I responded to has nothing with thinking. You are not an Iranian, and they barely even know that some Nigerians exist. It was assumptions. So, how do you even no what the Iranian leadership (whatever is left of them) are thinking? Assumptions is different from thinking. We are talking about a war that we both have no power over: so how's that thinking, you merely made wild assumptions based on your sentiments. Your response, and lack on basic understanding to simple things is more of an insult on black man than my response that 15 - 20 years claim/assumptions is wild, childish and amateurish. How did you know that the Mullah will be in government in 20 years? What makes you think Israel and Iran will not become allies in the next 5 years? Can you now see the laughable emptiness of your assumptions (that you ridiculously called thinking)?
Netanyahu was not even anywhere in government 40 years ago, it was the Ayatollahs that were, and the current one was killed like dog in just 1 day of war despite the 47 years plan of him and his father. So stop lying.
And I make like 6 key points in my response, but like a typical Iran-supporting person, you ignored measurable contributions and happed on polemic. But get, its clear whataboutisn can not get you anywhere meaningful again, as data is not on your side. On this, I will move away.

Razzness:
Tufiakwa! Typical black man thinking. Very shortsighted. You think the world will end in 2 years or that if we do not live to see it, then it does not matter.

Netanyahu that has been planning this war with Iran for 40 years is he a fool? Or Iran that has been building missiles for 47 years to get what they have now were dealing with the present and near future, or America and Russia, which built thousands of nuclear warheads over the course of 35 years were thinking the world would end in 2 years. If by some accident someone like you becomes a leader of a society or organization, then the future of that society is doomed with this your kind of mindset.

Israel’s laser defense system was installed in the UAE 🇦🇪 according to a report in the @FinancialTimes. It shoots down drones and missiles at $3 a shot and never runs out of ammunition.

Jason Brodsky reported for the Financial Times that in addition to Iron Dome, #Israel dispatched a version of the Iron Beam laser-based air defense system to the United Arab Emirates during the recent fighting with #Iran to help protect the Gulf nation from missile and drone attacks.

I enjoy reading all your "ifs". I dont dwell in it. You said 15 to 20 years, as if it were 2 years. Wealth is measurable, and based on current data, Iran is not wealthy. If it is based on the proven oil reserves, you can also argue that Venezuela is a wealthy country. Natural resources is not wealth. It is subject to factors of production and other economic intricacies.
And your argument that Iran will come seek revenge in 15 to 20 years is essentially stating that they are primitive people. Because there are many things a country can be; being a hardline theocracy is one of the dumbest thing any country can seek to be in modern world. Israel and Iran had no issues until the Mullah snatched power in 1979 and decided that Israel deserves no peace and sponsors shadow wars against Israel. If anybody should seek revenge, it should be Israel. Going by Iran's history and their governance system, what makes you think the Mullahs will not be disposed by other Iranians in your 15 to 20 years? You see, wishful thinking. Iran will not get any special sanction reliefs. By who?
Your conclusion on the economic implications of the war on China is simplistic.
Going by casualties, destruction, current standing, fatalities, loss, Israel is by far the biggest winner of the war. Any other thing is "creating ones happiness". Iran has never been this weak since the Iran - Iraq war. I deal in the present and near future. Not 20 years that is not sure for either of us.

Razzness:
Currently holds the largest crude oil inventory in the world, estimated at nearly 1.4 billion barrels stored. So the idea that China is hurt by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is wishful thinking. And for China, anything that will distract the US and consume its resources is a welcome development.

You think Iran is not wealthy? They have the 3rd largest proven oil reserve in the world.
Moreover, if they manage to survive this war through a negotiated settlement, they will almost certainly get some form of sanction relief.

If this war ends without a regime change, Israel is undoubtedly the biggest loser. They will be leaving behind a vengeful, more motivated regime with the political will, technical know-how, and money to rebuild. All that Iran has lost, it will not take them more than 15 to 20 years to rebuild and restock it. And it is almost certain they will be more motivated to pursue a nuclear weapon than they were before. A nuclear Iran is a thought Israel cannot simply live with.

First is that you deviate from the key point I raised. Secondly, they did not survive this war due to their own ability, the greatest deterrence in this war to Trump, U.S., and Israel is not Iran's capability, it is outrage among their respective citizens and allies. Iran had already started using human shield. Thats in some ways, conceding defeat. On the Strait, you are right, but there are some key issues you deliberately ignored: one, the strategy is also counterproductive (i.e. U.S blocking the Iran port), two, the blockade hurt countries that are a little friendly to Iran (like China), than it hurt any country in the West. And you dont become a world power by blocking international waterway, do it too long, and you will draw the outrage of even the people supporting you. On money, Iran is not a wealthy country, and not after this war where they took a loss/damage of hundreds of billions. The biggest winner in the war is actually Israel. Because it will take some tims before Iran can stabilise.

Razzness:
I am not saying they are a world power as it is. They are not even the strongest country in the Middle East as it is. But if for some reason, this current Iranian regime manages to survive this war, even if it's through a negotiated settlement, then they may well be on track. First of all, their newfound ability to disrupt the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz effectively means they can control 20% of the world's oil flow. That is not small; the US is at 21%.

Additionally, if they somehow survive, then there is no doubt that obtaining a nuclear weapon will be their next big objective. They have the money, technical know-how, and political will to develop one. I am not saying it will happen, but if it happens, a nuclear Iran with control of the flow of 20% of the world's energy is by all intent and purposes a world power.

Relax dude. That is not how country just emerge as world power. Country dont emerge as world power by using propaganda tools. Oh! I forget, the propaganda tools like Facebook was invented by a Jew (Mark Zuckerberg), in a country (U.S.A). You need money, systems, technology, education and financial system, real weaponry (nuclear weapon is important), to emerge as world power. This thing is a simple truth, but I'm sure you people is not looking for simple truth.

Razzness:
If the US is not careful, Iran will emerge from this war a world power.
The leverage Iran has over the entire world is not moi-moi, o. Just imagine fuel went from N790 to N1300 in less than 2 months. Even though Iran's military is no match for the US and Israel, they find themselves in a strategic position that has forced the US and Israel to exercise a level of restraint we have never seen from them before. The US almost never does a cease-fire. If they commit to a war, they usually see it through even if it takes several years. But with Iran the stakes are too high; that's why they negotiated a ceasefire and even extended it when Iran refused to capitulate.

Imagine if Ukraine had similar leverage over the global economy; the world would not have sat back and allowed Russia to pound them like this. But because the war does not affect anybody outside of Ukraine, everybody is just sympathizing with Ukraine from a distance. Now with Iran, the story is very different; everybody is feeling it.

There is simply no easy way out for Trump here; if you continue negotiating, Iran continues to play hardball. If you continue the blockade, oil prices and global inflation keep rising. If you agree to Iran's ceasefire term, America becomes humiliated. If you send in ground troops, many American soldiers will be lost. If you bomb their power plants and bridges, they will bomb the bridges and power plants of countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait that have been paying you billions for protection. If you withdraw, they will become emboldened and continue with whatever they are doing. Trump must chew one of these bitter pills.
I guess extending the ceasefire is a less bitter pill.

Then, going by your last paragraph, we can agree that Soyinka was a nuisance during Buhari's tenure, and worse than a nuisance during Jonathan's government.

HacheNoire:
Professor Wole Soyinka is highly learned and familiar with economics indices to assess and reach judgement.

You do not expect him to address issues when there is none. He is familiar with the great shift His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is working on and aware about the course where The President is navigating towards.

When you see critics silent, is not that they are scared, bribed or being cowards. It is because they CURRENTLY do not have critical issues to address.

It will be nuisance for The Great Wole Soyinka to start addressing matters like Peter, who has no in-depth knowledge about economics or a sense of feasibility to know where the country is drifting towards.

If hypocrisy were a person.

I do not love him and do not care about him. I addressed your moral inconsistencies and lack of logical independence.

Vision101:
The same Edu that you guys were insulting before that he doesn't know anything is now loved?

The same Edu that was finance commissioner under Tinubu is now loved by you more than Tinubu. Wonders and wonders.

LOL. APC people. They hate anybody that says the truth about the situation of the country and the obvious leadership failure which they themselves, are aware of. They can even miraculously hate people they praise an hour ago. The dumbest cult of all time, and a group that hate Nigeria with passion.

Basic123:
I hate this wale edun with passion!
