The new generation zigzagging "Sejjil" missile that has smashed through the Israeli "Iron Dome" and "David Sling" Air Defense Systems is a no-nonsense two-stage missile technology first launched in 2008 and wholly made by Iranian scientists based on Chinese and North Korean technology.

Full speech: Donald Trump’s address to nation after attack on Iran
US president warns Iran that it must now ‘make peace’ or face future US attacks.


US President Donald Trump delivers an address to the nation alongside Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the White House in Washington, DC after announcing the “very successful” US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, United States President Donald Trump addressed the nation.

Here is the full transcript of his speech on Saturday evening:

Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.

Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.

If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.


For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Death to America, death to Israel”.

They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs – that was their speciality.

We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate, in particular, so many were killed by their general, Qassem Soleimani.

I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.

It will not continue.

I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.

I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they’ve done and, most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.

Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that’s so. I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular general – and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.

With all of that being said, this cannot continue.

There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.

Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal, but if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.

There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.

Tomorrow, General Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8am (12:00 GMT) at the Pentagon, and I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God.

I want to just say, “We love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them.” God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Foreign AffairsRe: IRGC Releases Details Of 20th Wave Of Attack On Israel by Konquest: 12:14am On Jun 23, 2025
Maroshak:
TEHRAN, Jun. 22 (MNA) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said it has, for the first time, launched multiwarhead Kheibarshekan (castle buster) ballistic missiles in its retaliatory strikes against the Zionist regime.

The IRGC on Sunday gave details of the 20th wave of Iran’s attacks against the Zionist regime as part of the Operation True Promise III.

It said the most recent stage of attacks was launched by firing 40 solid- and liquid-fuel ballistic missiles.

Multiwarhead Kheibarshekan ballistic missiles -the third generation of the IRGC Aerospace Force’s missiles- were fired in Sunday’s strike for the first time, the IRGC said, adding that modern and surprising tactics were employed to increase the accuracy of missiles and ensure their effective and destructive impact on the targets.

The Iranian missiles hit various targets such as Ben Gurion airport, the Israeli regime’s biological research center, and its replacement command-and-control centers, the IRGC stated.

The guided ballistic missiles launched by Iran had maneuverable and highly-explosive warheads that were being guided until the final moment of devastating impact, the statement noted.

It said the sirens in the occupied territories sounded only after the missiles hit the targets, upsetting the balance of the enemy.

The IRGC warned that the main sections of the capacities of the Iranian Armed Forces have not become operational in the counterattacks so far.

The Zionist regime waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13. It has carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear, military and residential sites that resulted in the martyrdom of over 400 Iranians, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists and ordinary citizens.

The Iranian military forces started counterattacks immediately afterwards. They Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force has carried out 20 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as of June 22 as part of Operation True Promise
The Ben Gurion Airport, Israel's Biological Research Center, and more.
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Parliament Approves Closure Of Hormuz Strait by Konquest: 12:10am On Jun 23, 2025

Iran Parliament Approves Closure Of Hormuz Strait

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows

Iran is considering closing the key oil shipping route Strait of Hormuz after the US bombed three of its nuclear facilities, Iranian media reported today.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows.

It connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The narrow channel, approximately 33 km wide at the narrowest point, separates Iran (north) from the Arabian Peninsula (south).

But shipping lanes in the waterway are even narrower - 3 km wide in each direction, making them vulnerable to attacks and threats of being shut down, which Iran has decided to do now.
The bulk of oil exports from regional powerhouses - Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, Iran, and Kuwait - must transit this narrow waterway. In the past, it was the West - chiefly the US and Europe - that stood most exposed to disruption in Persian Gulf energy flows, but today it is China and Asia that would bear the brunt of any closure.

For India, the Strait of Hormuz is important as about 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil out of its total import of 5.5 million bpd transits through the narrow waterway.

Having diversified its sources of imports, India, however, is unlikely to lose sleep even if the Strait of Hormuz is shut down as alternative sources from Russia to the US and Brazil are readily available to fill any void, industry officials and analysts said.

Russian oil is logistically detached from the Strait of Hormuz, flowing via the Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, or the Pacific Ocean.

On gas, India's principal supplier Qatar does not use the Strait of Hormuz for supplies. India's other sources of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Australia, Russia and the US would be untouched by any closure.

The heightened tensions in the world's largest energy supply basket would however have a near-term impact on prices, with oil prices likely to jump to $80 per barrel, analysts said.
There are alternative routes for India and others to get there crude oil and gas supplies.

HEAVEN4444:
Israel as most people are not familiar with is a composite name meaning it's an umbrella name for groups of people who wield power. The name ISRAEL means IS RA EL aka heavens power meaning who ever has been uplifted to be the weapon of the universe. However this title is transitory and is not a name to be hijacked by a people. And so the name Israel does not belong to a group of people. It's a title worn by God's weapon and of course currently it's given to the Ashkenazi people who then decided to change their name to Israel. But this is a title and so it gets to a point where that title is given to another people and we have reached that point in history now as the once undefeatable gods army has now been penetrated and raised to the ground. God neutralized the iron dome and let all the missiles through because he is raising up a new Israel. A new global powerhouse will emerge. And it will be the new Israel . Now whether they choose to acquire and use the name israel for themself will be up to them . But this Ashkenazi israel has been demystified and defeated. The red heifer ( Haifa ) is burning. Bible says when the Haifa starts burning ? Then it's time for a new israel to rise up AND SO FROM THIS POINT ON THE ASHKENAZI MAN SHOULD DESIST AND REFRAIN FROM CALLING HIMSELF AN ISRAELI.

PoliticsRe: How Iran’s Hormuz Threat Could Impact Nigeria’s Economy by Konquest:
Editorialtimes:
NIGERIA DAILY ECONOMIC TIMES
Monday, June 23, 2025


Abuja — Tensions in the Middle East have escalated into a full-scale crisis. With Iran contemplating the closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid its conflict with Israel and the United States, the reverberations are being felt far beyond the region—right here in Nigeria.

Oil Boon May Be Fleeting

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital artery for around 20% of the world’s oil supply. A blockage could send crude prices soaring. For Nigeria—a major crude exporter—the immediate effect might be the most profitable window of the decade. Elevated oil prices would boost foreign exchange earnings, strengthen government revenues, and offer a rare respite in a fiscal landscape often plagued by deficits.

But there’s a catch: years of oil theft, infrastructure failures, and insufficient investment have capped Nigeria’s production capacity. Unless output increases rapidly, the windfall could be swallowed by inefficiencies, potentially leaving Nigeria stranded by a global oil rally it cannot fully tap into.

Imported Fuel Face Price Shock

Despite its energy wealth, Nigeria imports more than 90% of its refined petroleum. When global crude prices climb, refined products tend to follow suit—creating a ripple effect across the economy.

Consumers across the country may soon feel the pressure at the pump. Higher petrol and diesel prices could drive up the cost of transportation, food, and basic goods, propelling inflation higher. However, the government could intervene with blanket fuel subsidies—a welcome relief for consumers, but a dangerous burden on public finances.

Naija’s Currency: Between Strength and Surprise

A spike in oil revenues could temporarily bolster Nigeria’s naira, easing pressure on the foreign exchange market. But in times of global instability, investors often retreat to safe havens like gold and the U.S. dollar, leaving emerging markets vulnerable.

A sudden exodus of capital could reverse the naira’s gains faster than they materialize, forcing the Central Bank of Nigeria to dip into foreign reserves or hike interest rates—strategies that could dampen growth even as inflation bites.

Inflation: A Collective Concern

Rising costs aren’t limited to fuel. Increased shipping expenses—borne from rerouting vessels to avoid the Strait—will raise the cost of imported commodities, from fertilizers to electronics and grain. Meat, rice, sugar, and other staples could push even harder against the current annual inflation rate, already hovering above 30%.

Debt Dilemma and Fiscal Fragility

High oil prices help, but they don’t erase Nigeria’s fiscal vulnerabilities. The government may face renewed pressure to subsidize fuel. At the same time, international debt costs could climb as global yields rise—especially if global equity markets turn risk-averse.

With over $240 billion in public debt and subsidies accounting for a sizable chunk of annual spending, Dilma’s financial juggle becomes even more precarious.

From Crisis to Opportunity?

Experts advise Nigeria to treat this as a wake-up call:

Boost Domestic Refining: Full-scale operation of Dangote and other local refineries could reduce dependency on imports and buffer fuel price swings.

Strengthen Oil Security: Cracking down on theft and sabotage to ensure any opportunity from higher global prices isn't wasted.

Diversify the Economy: Channel revenue surges into agriculture, tech, and manufacturing to build resilience.

Fix Subsidies: Shift from universal to targeted social programs to support the vulnerable while preserving fiscal health.

Build Reserves: Use temporary oil windfalls to expand foreign exchange reserves in preparation for future shocks.

The Bottom Line

Nigeria stands at a crossroads. A potential Strait of Hormuz closure could deliver a rare fiscal windfall—but the risks are stark: spiking inflation, fiscal strain, and economic volatility. Whether Nigeria emerges stronger or weaker depends on bold, proactive measures today.

That's a very insightful article that touches all the variables.

However, the reference to Nigeria importing more than 90% of its refined petroleum has been overtaken by events with the refined petroleum production by Dangote Petrochemical Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State. But it's indeed a reality that when global crude prices climb, refined products tend to follow suit, creating ripple effects across the country-specific economies.

This dude should be careful to wash or sanitize his hands before and after touching those kinds of vibrators because it's been well-documented that women with sexually transmitted diseases or venereal diseases can easily transmit them to others from sharing one vibrator after the other.

This is why women are adviced NOT to share their vibrators with other women friends of theirs. I know it can be tempting to beg to share a "rabbit vibe" if you don't yet have the money to get one yet. Don't do it. wink

PoliticsRe: Lamido: Tinubu played a prominent role opposing June 12 annulment - Onanuga by Konquest: 9:58pm On Jun 22, 2025
Ofunaofu:
The presidency headed by Tinubu is the least qualified to tell us about the role Tinubu played in the June 12 struggle. Of course, they will surely attempt to distort history and spread propaganda.

But there are enough indisputable facts that Tinubu actually betrayed the struggle and secretly sought a commissioner post from Abacha, abandoning the cause in pursuit of his selfish interests.
Mr. 'Bayo Onanuga is absolutely qualified to speak on this irresponsible comments from Suke Lamido and he was (and still is) very close to the now President 'Bola Tinubu so he is very qualified as an investigative journalist (and guerilla journalist) and one of the greatest pro-democracy movement activists during the terrible corrupt, military dictatorship years of the 1980s right into the 1990s when people where being assassinated and bombed to death by Abacha's killer "Strike Force" led by Maj. Al-Mustapha. 'Bayo Onanuga is one of the many men and women whose sacrifices helped to restore democracy in 1999!

You're obviously a young person who wasn't alive during the June 12 1993 elections or you were still a toddler otherwise you wouldn't say things about someone you weren't originally close to. What you wrote up there and the images you ATTACHED from Kola and 'Bode George are based on pure conjectures. I voted last in Nigeria on June 12, 1993 and I'm very familiar with the sequence of events that panned out during that period including how the then Senator 'Bola Tinubu worked very closely before, during and after the June 12, 1993 elections with Basorun M.K.O Abiola to actualize the democratic mandate.

Those screenshots you attached to your post from the year 2019 are highly defamatory and unverified stories from the two people quoted there. Just making wild statements.

How is it possible that a Senator would lobby to be a Commissioner in Lagos according to Kola? That a total downgrade in position. A lot of FALSE rumors and propaganda flew around during the aftermath of the June 12, 1993 elections and we're institigated by insidious agents of the military dictatorships who used the NTA and other propaganda news outlets and Kola got misled with false information. If you asked 'Kola the same question today if the story he granted in 2019 was verified and his source of information, he would exhonerate 'Bola Tinubu and this is the problem I have with people relying upon and bringing up past online and offline articles that are stale and discredited still being circulated online. Some FAKE stories have been pulled from the official Websites of newspapers after being found to be defamatory and FALSE with apologies offered to those offended.


'Bola Tinubu MUST ensure that these old newspaper articles do NOT remain online as very gullible readers see these things and think they are true. President 'Bola Tinubu partly has himself to blame for NOT leading the way to ensuring that these defamatory stories about him circulating around are dealt with legally and ruthlessly. You CANNOT be priding yourself as a democrat by allowing all kinds of nonsense to be published about you in this Internet and social media era when bad news travels fast and there are paid trolls out there deliberately spreading massive disinformation.

But actually, in Southern American English and African American Vernacular English , “all y’all” is a real expression, and it's not necessarily redundant.
Yes, it's a real expression for the folks using African-American Vernacular English.

BUT the expression "all y'all goin' down" is not grammatically correct in standard American English. The phrase "y'all" is already a contraction of "you all," and adding "all" in front of it creates redundancy. A more standard way to say this would be "you all are going down" or "y'all are going down".

So, people (who pick up expressions from AA music videos) and are NOT familiar with spoken American English etiquette MUST be very careful not to use these AA Vernacular expressions in formal settings like the academic environment. Even African-Americans who use African-American Vernacular English do NOT use it all the time but adjust their verbal expressions where standard American English is required. I say all these as someone who is very familiar with AA culture.

Just so you know, there are regional differences from coast to coast in African-American English. So, AA Vernacular isn't monolithic.


In standard American English, they try to talk these idiolects down as "illiterate" in meaning, but African-American vernacular English has gained a life of its own despite the different regional variants.

Nevertheless, "all y'all goin' down" is not grammatically correct in standard American English. The phrase "y'all" is already a contraction of "you all," and adding "all" in front of it creates redundancy. A more standard way to say this would be "you all are going down" or "y'all are going down." Period.

Alright.

But within that same period, the British was the first country to use a machine gun in a war. Do you know where they used it? Right here in Africa!

See, Africa must learn SCIENCE to survive into the future https://www.africason.com/2025/06/africa-must-learn-science-to-survive.html
Yes, it (the machine gun) was known as the Maxim gun. That's what they used to conquer Africa using recruited African mercenaries themselves. Embarrassingly, 50 of Jaja of Opobo's boys were recruited through Jaja to fight for the British in the Gold Coast (modern Ghana) during the Anglo-Ashanti War of the late 1800s. This is one of the reasons why I view Jaja (He was a very brutal man anyway who prevented (and killed through mass beheadings) other upriver tribes from trading directly with the British on the Opobo river) as one of the enemies of Africa and NOT a nationalist like some historians and writers try to FALSELY portray in those outdated Social Studies books we read decades back. Without that, Africa would NOT have easily been conquered if the various African communities and ethnic folks had been more enlightened.

I agree with you totally, Africans MUST be scientifically aware and superior to avoid being colonised again. That's the way to earn respect. Despite the hard-hitting sanctions of several years on Iran, they were able to develop their technology to advanced levels as can be seen with the new generation zigzagging Sujjel missiles that have evaded the Israeli Iron Dome and caused massive damage.
Foreign AffairsRe: Calls For Trump’s Impeachment Over Bombing Of Iran by Konquest: 8:03pm On Jun 22, 2025
saraki2019:
When history books are finally rewritten—freed from political spin and corporate media censorship—they will reveal a chilling truth: Donald Trump’s presidency was never about governance. It was an experiment. A high-stakes gamble by the global elite to see what would happen if you handed nuclear codes to a real estate tycoon with a Twitter addiction.
And now, as the world reels from U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, and missiles explode across Israel and the Middle East, that experiment has backfired
catastrophically.

💣 From Boardroom to Battlefield: A Dangerous Transition
Electing a billionaire may sound like a genius move on paper—someone who understands “the art of the deal,” who can “run the country like a business.” But diplomacy isn't a boardroom. War isn't a negotiation over property rights. And human lives aren't investment losses.
Trump never understood that.
Instead of diplomacy, he played international roulette. And this time, his reckless airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites may have just lit the fuse for the next global war.
And for what? Poll numbers? Distraction? Or worse: ego.

🧠 The Deep Conspiracy: Who Really Benefits?
Here’s the theory the media won’t say out loud: Trump’s entire playbook is engineered not to preserve peace, but to trigger profitable chaos.
• Every bomb dropped is money in the bank for defense contractors.
• Every act of aggression distracts from domestic failures.
• Every Middle East escalation pushes oil prices up—and guess who profits?
Trump isn’t a patriot. He’s a puppet of the military-industrial complex—disguised in a MAGA hat.

⚖️ The Impeachment Isn't About Politics—It's About Survival

Democrats are calling for impeachment. Even some Republicans, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, are cracking under the pressure. Why? Because they know:
Trump’s actions weren’t just unconstitutional. They were suicidal.
He bypassed Congress.
He ignored intelligence experts.
He launched an unprovoked strike on a sovereign state armed with hypersonic missiles and regional alliances.
That’s not leadership. That’s lunacy.
And while Trump tweets “success” from the safety of Air Force One, Tel Aviv is burning, American troops in the Gulf are on red alert, and Iran is promising retaliation that could last generations.

🧨 A Businessman Can’t Manage a Battlefield
Running a country like a business works until missiles fly. There are no bankruptcy bailouts in geopolitics. No PR firm can undo civilian deaths. And no NDA can silence international rage.
The Iran-Israel war has exposed the truth: Trump is out of his depth.
His instincts are transactional, not tactical.
His decisions are driven by optics, not outcomes.
And his legacy is not peace—but peril.

🗣️ Impeachment Is Too Kind
They say impeachment is a punishment. In Trump’s case, it’s a last-minute safety switch. Because the longer this billionaire remains in control of America’s war machine, the closer we inch to irreversible catastrophe.
This is no longer about red vs. blue.
It’s about stopping a ticking time bomb—before the next missile has your city’s name on it.
A Businessman Can’t Manage a Battlefield

Spectators:
What’s the B-2 Warplane, Its Cost, and Why America Won’t Sell It

The B-2 Spirit, often referred to as the "Stealth Bomber," is one of the most advanced and secretive military aircraft in the world — and also among the most expensive. Developed by Northrop Grumman for the United States Air Force, the B-2 is a strategic bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear weapons. But beyond its cutting-edge stealth technology and immense capabilities lies a deeper reason why the U.S. government refuses to sell it — not even to its closest allies.

What is the B-2 Bomber?

The B-2 Spirit is a long-range, heavy-payload stealth bomber designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses. First introduced in 1997, the aircraft can travel over 6,000 nautical miles without refueling and can carry up to 40,000 pounds of weapons, including nuclear payloads. Its most remarkable feature is its stealth technology, which makes it nearly invisible to radar, giving it a strategic edge in warfare.

The B-2’s unique flying-wing design, coated with radar-absorbent material, allows it to evade even the most sophisticated enemy air defense systems, making it the centerpiece of America’s strategic deterrence capabilities.

How Much Does It Cost?

The B-2 is often dubbed the most expensive aircraft ever built. The original procurement cost was around $737 million per unit, but when factoring in research, development, and maintenance infrastructure, the cost soars to over $2 billion per plane. Only 21 units were ever produced, making it one of the rarest and most elite aircraft in military aviation history.

Why America Won’t Sell the B-2

Despite its alliance with countries like the United Kingdom, Japan, and NATO members, the United States has consistently refused to export the B-2 for several reasons:

1. National Security Concerns: The stealth technology embedded in the B-2 remains one of America's most closely guarded military secrets. Allowing any form of transfer risks exposing that technology, even to allies.

2. Nuclear Capability: The B-2 is specifically designed to deliver nuclear weapons, and sharing such capability would conflict with global non-proliferation treaties and strategic doctrines.


3. High Cost and Maintenance: The astronomical cost of building and maintaining the B-2 makes it an unrealistic purchase for most countries. Additionally, it requires highly specialized maintenance, which is centralized in the U.S.

4. Limited Fleet: With only 20 operational aircraft (after one crash in 2008), the B-2 fleet is incredibly small. Each plane is a strategic asset, and none are available for export without compromising the U.S. Air Force’s deterrence posture.

What’s Next?

The B-2 Spirit is expected to remain in service until at least 2032, when it will be gradually replaced by the next-generation B-21 Raider, which promises to be more cost-effective while retaining advanced stealth capabilities. However, much like its predecessor, the B-21 is also expected to be kept exclusively for American use.

In a world of shifting alliances and rising global tensions, the B-2 remains a symbol of America’s unmatched air power — and a reminder of the high stakes in military technology secrecy.

Each of those stealth bombers is very expensive at slightly over 2 billion USD.
SportsRe: Favour Ofili Dumps Nigeria For Turkey, To Receive $500,000 Base Payment by Konquest: 7:40pm On Jun 22, 2025
HealthDiary:
World and Nigerian record Favour Ofili has reportedly switched allegiance to Turkey as of May 31, 2025. She made the decision citing the incompetency of the AFN.

Record-breaking Favour Ofili has reportedly dumped Nigeria for money-recruiting Turkey, where she's set to earn a $500,000 base payment that can rise to $1,000,000 if the move is completed.

Popularly known as 'Star Girl', the 22-year-old speedster who recently clocked a World Record of 15.85s in the 150m at the Adidas Atlanta City Games, has requested a switch of allegiance to Turkey and will no longer don the green and white colours of Nigeria.


According to reports, Ofili made the decision, expressing her frustration to the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) with the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN). - a move triggered by years of neglect. She started the process on May 31st and the same AFN leadership was re-elected this June.

The 150 meters race event in which she's a world record holder is NOT even an official Olympic sport.

At just 22 years of age. This is a move definitely based majorly on economic considerations. Is she saying that she's no longer a native of Delta State girl as well with her switch in nationality to Turkey? I think it's all blind rage-induced.

Even if I'm gonna do what she did as a case study, Turkey isn't the place I would choose in a WORSE case scenario.

In any event, she has the total prerogative to decide what she wants for herself. Period.

PoliticsRe: UAE To Invest In $25 Billion Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline Project by Konquest: 6:32pm On Jun 22, 2025
femisplash:
The United Arab Emirates has agreed to contribute to a huge gas pipeline project that will connect Nigeria to Morocco and eventually reach Europe.

Morocco’s Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Leila Benali, told lawmakers on Tuesday that the UAE is now one of the supporters of the project, which is estimated to cost $25 billion.

“As for finance. The project has won the support of IDB, OPEC Fund, EIB and the UAE,” she said.

Benali also said that Morocco has finished all feasibility and engineering studies needed for the pipeline.

According to Moroccan industry experts, the project has already passed the feasibility study and Front End Engineering Design stages.

The gas pipeline, now called the “African-Atlantic Gas Pipeline”, will connect Nigeria’s gas network with Morocco’s southern city of Dakhla and then go northward toward Europe.

The line will pass through 15 African countries, boosting trade, development, and access to electricity in the region.

In Phase One, it will link Morocco to gas fields near Senegal and Mauritania, and connect Ghana to the Ivory Coast.

Phase Two will link Nigeria to Ghana, while Phase Three will connect the Ivory Coast to Senegal.

Experts said this pipeline will help bring more power to African homes and businesses while encouraging economic partnerships across the region.

With more than 400 million people living along its route, the pipeline is seen as a key driver of regional integration, industrial growth, and improved infrastructure.

Morocco and Nigeria have set up a joint venture to manage the project. They signed a financing agreement earlier to help move it forward.

China’s Jingye Steel Group has been awarded the contract to supply pipes for the construction.

At 6,800 km long, including 5,100 km offshore, the pipeline will become the longest offshore gas pipeline in the world once completed.

Benali added that Morocco also aims to become a regional leader in clean energy, with high potential to produce green hydrogen and other renewable resources.

Davido is currently in Ibiza to party with his manager, Asa Asika and accompanied by his team which includes Cubana Chief Priest. Chief Priest had earlier shared that they were currently in Ibiza for Asa Asika.

Now Davido has posted that the security in Ibiza tried to kill he and his team. He even shared photos and posted that they should watch out. This is not a good one coming from Ibiza and a renowned star like Davido should not be subject of this.

We will see as the story unfolds.

PoliticsRe: Write It Down, No Coalition Can Threaten Tinubu's Re-election - Uba Sani (Video) by Konquest: 6:03pm On Jun 22, 2025
Lifestylecom:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3kFObLBDtg

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has said he is not afraid of any new coalition to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

''I am not afraid of a new coalition. Go and write this down and remember this day, Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) has no threat.''
President 'Bola Tinubu and the rest of the Governors had better perform well by lowering the cost of living through the massive deployment of CNG-FUEL infrastructure, CNG buses and CNG trains, etc, and immediately carry out the constitutional amendments to remove the political, economic, and security inneficiences holding Nigeria down for decades before their remaining 2 years are up. That's the ONLY way you all can immobilize the anger of those hungry and angry folks on the street level.

The Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has done very well by purchasing 100 CNG-fueled buses. This is what Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu is still pussyfooting about... But kudos to him too. I saw a drone shots video just yesterday by a YouTuber of the almost completed Maryland-Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge which would ease the traffic jams in the Maryland area of Lagos State.

The focus must be on the low-hanging fruits and NO political opposition or the voting public opposition can stop you. Though they've done well in other areas, those folks on the street level want disposable income to take care of their basic needs and are indeed angry because of that. Enough of the excessive overconfidence on the part of some APC folks.

Indeed, the vast amount of the net-worths of those names ATTACHED right ABOVE come from shareholdings in investments and part-ownerships of the businesses they ORIGINALLY founded or co-founded.

Mark Zuckerberg for instance ONLY owns 13.5% of Meta stocks
while other bigger shareholders and institutional investors ALSO CLEARLY exist right in the top 10 of Meta shareholders. This ties in with what Richard Koch emphasized in his book that I told you about earlier.

So how's the accounting panning out? Are you in the field?
(Tinubu used his accounting to sell dope!😅)
"He used his accounting to sell dope? Are you kidding?!" He did non of that.

The now President 'Bola Tinubu of Nigeria is a technocrat, chartered accountant and auditor who worked with Mobil Nigeria (now ExxonMobil) and rose to the senior rank of a treasurer with the same multinational oil company.

Second the United States Government has since 1993 and through the then Legal Attache, Michael Bonner of the United States Consulate in Lagos State in 2003 emphasized that Tinubu was NEVER a drug baron or has NEVER been a convicted person based off of the information in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) which is the central database of ALL arrests and convictions in the entire United States.

I couldn't attach the official document from the Legal Attache, Michael Bonner right BELOW for you to read. It's the highly paid ipob troll farms and other bigots that are spreading this massive disinformation of him being a "drug baron or druggie" to defame him or tarnish his political image and there will be severe consequences for them soon.
