Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Was Hit Really Hard Says Trump by MaiDeribe: 3:19pm On Jun 25, 2025
Israel never expected it......they though America would put boots on the ground for them in Iran.

Why didn't the Israelis put their own soldiers in Iran.....boots on the ground ?

They wanted to deceive Donald Trump.

If the war had continue for just 30 days........There would not be anything called Israel ever again.

If only Gaza could arm itself like the Iranians.

Its Obvious Israel is just a bully , Killing children,infants and women.

Israel the Genocide state.

Even the city with the second largest Israeli population in the world (New york) just elected its First Muslim Mayor.

Even the voters in New York know Muslims are never a problem.....Its just propaganda calling them terrorists. I am sure Netenyahu is responsible for most of the terror attacks happening in Israel.

The black guy was deceived to join, all of them in the 19-20 years. Netenyahu's son lives in Florida enjoying his life. He has 3 bodyguards following around 24/7. But he sends other peoples children to go and die while committing genocide.

Foreign AffairsRe: Iranian Official Tells CNN Tehran Never Received Ceasefire Proposal by MaiDeribe: 1:10am On Jun 24, 2025
Now they want a ceasefire?

Where was that energy when Gaza was burning , when hospitals were bombed, children buried, and aid convoys turned to ash?

The world begged for a ceasefire in Gaza. Israel refused.
Now that Iran has finally cracked the myth of the Iron Dome, shown that Tel Aviv isn’t invincible, suddenly peace is trending again?

Let them finish it.
No pause. No Western interference. No manipulation.

The U.S. should stay out ,this is the regional reckoning the Middle East has waited decades for.

Whoever wins becomes the undisputed power. Then real peace can begin.

But mark this:
A premature ceasefire now would only serve as a trap for Iran, giving Israel time to reload for another sneak strike.

They should fight until one surrenders.
Because for once, Israel isn’t bombing the defenseless ,it’s facing an equal.

And they don’t like the taste of that.
PoliticsRe: Femi Fani Kayode Warns Trump For Bombing Iran by MaiDeribe: 9:54am On Jun 22, 2025
"My brother Fani-Kayode, if you had followed global capital flows with the same intensity you channel into rhetoric, you'd have seen the storm long before the first B-2 left Missouri."

The signs weren't subtle-they were financial.

Warren Buffett didn't just dabble-he swallowed Occidental Petroleum ($OXY) whole. Carl Icahn moved in on Southwestern Energy, and BlackRock, Apollo, and sovereign funds from UAE and Norway began stacking Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Cheniere Energy (LNG) assets like war was imminent.

Why?


Because Iran was being priced out of the future, not by bombs, but by balance sheets.

The billionaires weren't reacting.
They were preparing.
They knew Iran would be taken offline-just like Venezuela, Libya, and Iraq before her.

They didn't need briefings from generals.
They had Excel sheets, pipeline maps, and PetroYuan flow trackers.


"War is the continuation of capital by other means." - A 21st-century Clausewitz, probably.

So while you cry foul at the visible theatre, know this:

The real act was Act I-financiers repositioning the chessboard months ago.
All else now is smoke, mirrors, and fire.

CelebritiesRe: Benue Massacre: Cubana Chief Priest Appeals To Tinubu To End Open Grazing by MaiDeribe: 7:16am On Jun 19, 2025
Let’s be brutally honest:
Ranching a cow in Nigeria to full slaughter weight under controlled conditions would cost you close to ₦3 million in feed, vet, labor, and logistics.

That same cow?
Sold at ₦1.8 million in today’s market.


The only reason suya is still affordable is because of a silent subsidy—open grazing.

Yes, open grazing comes with a body count.
Yes, people have died from farmer-herder clashes.
But if you ban open grazing overnight, meat prices will triple or quadruple.

Are Nigerians ready to pay ₦120K for oxtail?
Will pepper soup become a luxury for senators only?


And There’s Another Layer:

If Nigerian Fulani herders are cut out overnight, foreign Fulani from Mali, Chad, and Niger will sell cheaper—why?
They still graze freely across vast Sahel routes.
They’ll dominate the market while local herders become unemployed.


[color=#000000]What happens next?

Kidnapping
Banditry
Terrorism
…all from men who once raised cows.
[/color]

The question isn’t “Should we ban open grazing?”
The real question is:
Are Nigerians ready to pay for peace with more expensive meat?
Because peace without economic planning… is just postponed violence.

BusinessOil Prices Soar After Israel Attacks Iran's Nuclear Facilities by MaiDeribe(op): 2:41am On Jun 13, 2025
Israel has launched a series of coordinated airstrikes on Iran, targeting nuclear facilities in what it describes as a decisive move to prevent the Islamic Republic from becoming a nuclear power. The Israeli military announced the operation on its official Telegram channel, stating that "dozens of fighter jets struck Iranian nuclear complexes in various parts of the country."

The strikes immediately triggered a sharp reaction in global markets, sending oil, bonds, and gold rallying. Brent crude surged by more than 7% in early Friday trading, as traders began pricing in the risk of major supply disruptions from a region that accounts for roughly one-third of the world’s oil production. Oil is now on course for its largest weekly gain since 2022. Gold prices also rallied as investors moved into safe-haven assets amid the mounting geopolitical risk.

According to Israeli sources, the goal of the airstrikes is to disrupt Iran's nuclear program, viewed by Israel as an existential threat. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his cabinet following the strikes, calling the action “a defining moment in Israel's history.” Israel has closed its airspace and placed its military on high alert, saying it is fully prepared for a potential Iranian retaliation.

According to Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu, the operation, dubbed Rising Lion, targets he heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. In his declaration, Prime Minister Netanyahu stated: “We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran’s main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran’s leading nuclear scientists working on the nuclear bomb. We also struck at Iran’s ballistic missile program.” He noted also that the operation "could last for as many days as it takes", adding that his government will not allow "the world's most dangerous regime to get the world's most dangerous weapons".

Iran has yet to issue an official response, though state media reported several explosions in the capital, Tehran. There are no confirmed casualties or assessments of damage at this time.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was quick to confirm that the United States was not involved in the operation, noting that Israel described the attack as vital for its national defense.

With tensions escalating, oil markets remain on edge. Investment banks like JPMorgan warn that in a worst-case scenario, prices could surge to $120 per barrel if military conflict closes the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

Foreign AffairsRe: "Operation Rising Lion": Israel begins preemptive military action against Iran by MaiDeribe: 2:32am On Jun 13, 2025
Several explosions have been reported in and around Iran’s capital Tehran, according to the state-run news agency Nour News.

“Loud explosions are being heard in different locations of the capital Tehran,” it said in a TV report, adding that Iran’s air defence system is on full alert and all flights at Iman Khomeini airport have been suspended.



While the Israeli military is yet to release an official public statement on the attack, it has reportedly confirmed to the Times of Israel newspaper that it has “launched an aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear programme”.

The operation, dubbed “Nation of Lions”, has seen Israeli fighter jets bomb dozens of targets related to Iran’s nuclear programme and other military facilities, the outlet reported.

The Israeli military told the outlet that Iran has enough enriched uranium to build several nuclear bombs within days and it needed to act against this “imminent threat”.

Sirens have sounded across Israel as a preemptive warning as Israeli authorities prepare for a potential Iranian response. In a post on X, the Israeli military announced that Israel’s civil and public security guidelines had been changed to “essential activity” as of 03:00 local time (00:00 GMT).


“The guidelines include: a ban on educational activities, gatherings, and workplaces, except for essential businesses,” it said.

Israel’s Transportation Ministry has confirmed that it has also closed the country’s airspace for arrivals and departures until further notice.

Two unnamed US officials confirmed to the Reuters news agency that Israel informed Washington of the attack, but it did not assist in its planning or execution.

Al Jazeera correspondent Alan Fisher said developments over recent days indicated that US President Donald Trump “was told that there was going to be some sort of strike”.


Just 24 hours ago the United States announced that it was going to start moving non-essential personnel out of the embassy in Baghdad [in Iraq] and also recommended that others in embassies around the region could also leave if they wish. That seemed to suggest that there was going to be an attack of some sort,” he said.

What is the work of jobless youths like you to protest on their behalf especially for people like VDM and Sowore that are known serial troublesome people individual looking for trouble to survive and gain popularity from wayward youths that see them as heroes?

Let them bring their children and wives from abroad to lead the protest everytime they violate rules or entangle themselves in another trouble instead of you wasting your time protesting on their behalf. They are simply teaching youths to become wayward and irresponsible like them when they grow up. They day police get time for them, they will see black cloth afar they will run thinking it was police uniform

Sowore is one of the greatest Nigerians alive, its an honor for us to be alive at the same time with someone like Omoyele Sowore. You should be ashamed of yourself to criticize Omoyele Sowore.

Nigeria’s Debt Numbers: Who’s Fooling Who?

When the World Bank says our statistics are faulty, how then do we trust the debt figures they keep reading out to us?

Remember when they asked, “Na statistics we go chop?” during the campaign? Well, now even the World Bank is saying our statistics don’t add up.

And yet, we have SPSS, MATLAB, Python, R, and thousands of sharp minds from Nigerian universities who can crunch numbers far better than the clowns in charge. So why are we still struggling with basic data integrity?

Answer: Nepotism. Instead of appointing qualified statisticians, they put political loyalists who can’t even balance a household budget, let alone national debt figures.


If Nigeria’s debt books are built on faulty numbers, how much do we really owe?

Are we paying for ghost loans?
Are our real revenues being buried under padded debt figures?
Is the debt trap a manufactured illusion to justify more borrowing?



If the international community doesn’t trust our figures, why should Nigerians?

World Bank compares Nigeria's poor statistical performance to Mexico, Colombia, South Africa, and Brazil.
Delegation from World Bank meets with Nigerian Minister of Budget and Economic Planning to express concerns.
World Bank recommends annual investment of $10-15m to improve Nigeria's statistical system.



The global lender compared the statistical instituition of the West African country to the likes of Mexico, Colombia, South Africa, and Brazil, all of which according to the bank’s assessments are far above Nigeria.


A delegation from the World Bank led by Country Director, Ndiame Diop, and Practice Manager for West and Central Africa, Mr Johan Mistiaen, on Wednesday, met with Senator Abubakar Bagudu the Nigerian Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, where, according to Mrs Julie Osagie-Jacobs, the Director, of Information and Public Relations, the World Bank made their concerns known.

What the World Bank said

Mr Johan Mistiaen, in his address titled “Next Level Statistics to Support Nigeria’s Reform and Growth Agenda,” as seen in the Punch, noted that Nigeria has failed to meet up with its contemporaries relating to its statistical system.

This was later made public via a statement issued by Mrs. Julie Osagie-Jacobs.

“Earlier, Mr. Johan Mistiaen in his presentation on the next-level statistics to support Nigeria’s reform and growth agenda, observed that the country’s statistical performance was not at par with its aspirational peers as Mexico, Colombia, South Africa, and Brazil,” the statement read.

As per the statement, Mistiaen then went on to recommend a budget range for the improvement of Nigeria's statistics infrastructure.


“He suggested that investing about $10-15m annually into the country’s statistical system can raise performance to that of its aspirational peers,” the statement adds.


In response, Bagudu affirmed that the National Bureau of Statistics' autonomy will be upheld by the Federal Government.

He applauded the Bureau for always issuing reliable and systematic statistics that respectable international organizations have depended on.

The minister emphasized that the government will not meddle in the NBS's internal affairs.

Additionally, he expressed gratitude to the World Bank for its continued technical and financial assistance to the agency, which he said was essential to the development of its institutional framework.

PoliticsRe: Political Struggles Threaten Nigeria’s Oil Production Recovery by MaiDeribe(op):
Tinubu, Reinstate Fubara & Restore Investor Confidence

A governor negotiating with foreign investors means nothing if he can be removed overnight. Stability breeds confidence—without it, investments dry up.

If Nigeria wants serious foreign investment, states must have the autonomy to inspire trust. Investors will not pour money into a region where leadership is dictated by political whims.

The constant removal of opposition figures—senators, governors—damages your credibility on the global stage. It signals instability, not strength.

And appointing military men as governors? That’s a recipe for unchecked corruption. A governor who isn’t accountable to the people is accountable to no one.

Nigeria needs economic growth, not political purges. Fix the optics.
PoliticsPolitical Struggles Threaten Nigeria’s Oil Production Recovery by MaiDeribe(op): 12:54pm On Mar 27, 2025
Just as Nigeria had started to increase its oil and gas production under President Bola Tinubu, a series of blasts and fires at major pipelines are threatening to unravel the progress Africa’s top crude producer has made.

A political feud and crisis reminded the oil market that pipeline sabotage and politically-motivated vandalism in Nigeria’s oil-rich states is always lurking around the corner.

In the Rivers State in the Niger Delta, where a large part of the country’s oil is produced and exported, at least three explosions and fires at oil and gas pipelines halted some supply over the past week.


Early last week, the Trans-Niger Pipeline, one of Nigeria’s biggest pipelines carrying crude from the Niger Delta to the Bonny terminal, was rocked by a powerful explosion. The explosion at Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, caused a massive fire at the section of the pipeline in the area.

Operations at the Trans-Niger Pipeline, which accounts for about 15% of Nigerian oil exports, were restored a week later. But the violence and political crisis don’t end.

While the cause of the explosion has yet to be investigated and announced, there is already speculation that the blast could be the result of sabotage, in view of the threats that militant groups in the area have recently made. The militants have threatened to attack oil infrastructure in the Rivers state amid an ongoing political crisis between the state and the federal government over federal money allocation to Rivers.

Last week, Nigerian President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers and suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and all elected members of the state House of Assembly for six months. Fubara is a member of the opposition party and the successor of close Tinubu ally Nyesom Wike.

As renewed political infighting puts Nigeria’s oil revival at risk, the president’s goal of lifting production to 2 million barrels per day (bpd) is under threat again.
