lawani: President Tinubu have identity issues not drug issues. He was not convicted in the US for drug running. You can not be convicted just for money that entered your account. You yourself must have had your bank account used by another person a few times and you can't be sure of the true origin of the funds. Lawani, Lawani, Lawani!!!

Oasisblue: 'If Iran feels they can fight let them attack the US directly'
What a very juvenile argument
Should I also say if the US feels they can fight let them send footsoldiers to Iran. We all know that is the definitve way of defeating the regime. So, why arent troops on their way?
Is Israel fighting with Lebanon, or with Hezbollah? Of what relevance is an agreement with a lame-duck Lebanese government that could not even maintain a military strong enough to kick out the shia milita or stop the IOF from destroying their country? Attacking those countries you mentioned is a strategy of war as they host their enemy's military basis, which are used to attack them. The homurtz and the sitting duck military bases are their own strategic edge in this conflict and if I were them I would leverage it too. Stop arguing against yourself! If Israel was fighting Hezbollah, then why was Iran shouting hypocritically about ''Lebanon''? Why did Iran not mention that they were seeking protection for Hezbollah instead of mentioning ''Lebanon'' to deceive the world? You see the hypcorisy? US is fighting Iran directly, that is why they are bombing Iran and installations inside Iran! Let Iran also shoot its missiles directly at US and hit installations inside US e.g. in New York, Chicago, New Jersey, Washington etc. That is what I mean by saying they should fight US directly. They can also attack the US warship in the ocean. It is stupid cowardice for Iran to attack peaceful UAE, S. Arabia/Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait etc. whenever US attacks it! In case you have forgotten, there are 3 arms of the military: the Naval, Airforce, and Army; In international wars where the warring countries do not share land borders, air-borne weapons e.g. missiles, drones, warplanes are the main instruments used to prosecute such wars. The Army (ground forces) are used mostly where the countries share land borders e.g. Russia and Ukraine; Iran vs Iraq etc |

Oasisblue: Lol. All these Nigerian wannabe Israelis amuse me. What happens in the US doesnt concern you but you spend your time here defending tRUMP. The same man that ran on 'No more ways' is now attackign countries across continents and it is okay to you.
By the way, Tinubu is doing mostly waht he promised: fuel susbsidy removed, Naira now on a managed float, etc. It is weird to criticize Tinubu while defending tRUMP. Compared to tRUMP, Tinubu is Mother Theresa! So it is now about name calling? Okay, continue if that satisfies you. Based on the antecedents of the people/groups that you support (Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah, Houthi Rebels, Iran Ayatollah regime etc. and what their sister organizations are doing in Nigeria), there is a lot of ''names'' that I can call you or use against you. |

This strait of Hormuz was free to everyone before he started his misadventure in February. Now countries have to either pay a toll to Iran or the US or both, further inflating oil prices. This sounds defeatist. If Iran knows they can fight, let tbem attack US directly. The Strait of Hormuz is a diversionary tactic . Same way they were using Lebanon as an excuse. Fortunately, Israel and Lebanon have reached an agreement brokered by US. But the fools still went ahead to attack commercial ships in the Strait because they wanted the ships to use the Iranian side of the Strait by force instead of the Omani route.. Now, we shall see the excuses that Iran would give . Attacking UAE, Qatar , Bahrain, Kywait etc is just stupid. Why are they not attacking Israel if they know and believe that they can fight? After all, Israel killed most of their leaders and top military generals |

Investment › Re: Is Owning A House Still A Good Investment In Nigeria Today? by mikeapollo: 3:28pm On Jul 13 |
escortafrik: My uncle is 70 years old and owns about 10 blocks of flats in Surulere, Lagos. Today, he makes around ₦40 million annually in rent, and that investment allows him to live a very comfortable life.
What makes his story interesting is that he didn’t become a property owner overnight. He was a civil servant and built the property gradually through his cooperative savings over almost 20 years.
I have always admired his journey, and recently I started asking myself:
Is property really one of the best long-term investments someone can make?
But when I discussed this with my cousin (his son), he had a completely different opinion.
He said if he had that same money today, he would rather invest in stocks or other assets. His argument was that he remembers the difficult years when the family struggled because a large part of his father’s salary was deducted for cooperative contributions and building the property.
He also pointed out the challenges that come with being a property owner:
Maintenance costs
Tenant issues
Time and stress managing properties
The fact that money is tied up and not easily accessible
But I still believe there is something powerful about owning property. Land appreciates over time, it provides security, and it can create generational wealth.
Some of my friends also disagreed with me. They believe businesses, stocks, and other investments may provide better returns and more flexibility.
So I’m bringing this question to the forum:
What do you think?
Is buying a house the smartest investment a Nigerian can make? Or Should people focus on other investments before buying property?
I would like to hear your opinions 👇
https://community.escortafrik.com/d/296-is-property-still-a-good-investment-in-nigeria-today What is sustaining big billionaires like Okoya, Folawiya etc is not their investments in stocks. It is their investments in property. But make sure the property is situated in a place where rent income is good. Your uncle is lucky because Surulere is a hot cake! Just think about the rent income that Okoya is receiving from all his assets littered all over Lagos. Remember, the investments in stocks can be lost if the company should fold up or get liquidated. But it can also give you higher returns if you are fortunate. High risk higher rewards. But for peace of mind, properties in choice areas are the best. |

megawealth01: Let me now explain how Lieutenant Felix Ademe Isaac lost his life during the operation to rescue the 44 abducted pupils and teachers in Oyo State.
I first posted about his death which carried "June 6", but some people claimed it was false because the rescue operation was carried out on July 10. They insisted that no soldier died and that the entire story was scripted.
Lieutenant Felix Ademe Isaac was a 28-year-old Nigerian Army officer who tragically lost his life while leading the initial assault team during the rescue mission.
Under the leadership of Major General Chinedu Ralph Nnebeife, a multi-agency security team launched an intelligence-led operation in the Old Oyo National Park.
Lt. Isaac was at the forefront of the assault, courageously leading the breach and firing the first shots at the kidnappers' hideout.
During the operation, his convoy ran into improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and landmines planted by the terrorists. He sustained fatal injuries during the early phase of the mission and later died from a gun shot.
Lt. Isaac was laid to rest with full military honours on July 10, 2026; the same day the 44 victims regained their freedom. He was buried at the 23rd Armoured Brigade Cemetery in Yola, Adamawa State.
After 56 days in captivity, all 44 pupils, students, and teachers were successfully rescued unharmed without the payment of any ransom.
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State paid glowing tribute to Lt. Isaac's exceptional bravery, publicly acknowledging his ultimate sacrifice during an official briefing.
So please, don't say it was scripted. It was real. May we never fall victim to any unforeseen circumstances. Amen.
ATM ✍🏾
I will not include his picture on a motorcycle. It does not do justice to the sacrifice this gallant soldier paid for Nigeria.
© Omolara Wise RIP to him. May God continue to protect our gallant soldiers and help them defeat these criminals terrorizing our people all over the nation! But how come he died on June 6 and the rescue operation was on July 10? Was he the one that died in the rescue operation? Was the rescue operation done on June 6? If so, why the delay until July 10 before they announced the rescue? More than one month after? Just questions bothering my mind. |

You can encourage your yellow pawpaw who is now afraid of his shadow to do his worst. Never seen US President been so afraid to die for his people and for the fight he started. Do you know what you are talking about? The Strait of Hormuz passes between Iran, Oman, UAE and even Saudi Arabia. Go check the map. Iran cannot hijack it to itself alone. The worst they can do is to control their side. Oman, UAE and S/Arabia have the right to decide on their own side of the strait. Iran is only harassing them because these countries do not have strong military. By the way: why is Iran not attacking Israel? Last week, Iran attacked Jordan by sending missiles. Jordan and Israel share borders. Why is Iran avoiding Israel? I want to see Iran sending missiles to Israel. Every mad person has a master! |

Prices of goods and services will rise. Stocks, in this contexts, are also ''commodities'' whose prices will rise in tandem with the trend in the economy.

When power is restored after an outage, people start jubilating, even though it may not last more than four hours. When children and their teachers are kidnapped and later released, we celebrate, even though it will likely happen again.
We keep celebrating things that should never have happened in the first place. Incompetence is accepted and defended. What a shame.
Meanwhile, the few who lead are living their best lives, while the poor and the brutalized are trapped in hellish conditions, arguing and fighting over meaningless pittance.
Such is life.  Thank you my brother Even rhe governor of Oyo state is talking. May be is no longer a Yoruba man because of his contrary views, as some people would reason! |
