I admire these guys bravery.

Upon all the bombing.

What's even funny to me is the fact that the Israeli prisoners were in Northern Gaza all along. Despite Israel bombing and raiding every inch of Northern Gaza, they still didn't have a clue about their whereabouts.

Hamas still looks intact and compact. What more evidence is there to see that Israel has been deliberately targeting innocent Palestinians because they couldn't locate the Hamas guys.

Last year,they tried and failed to assassinate Mohammed Deif in Gaza. 90 innocent civilians killed and over 300 injured. Imagine trying to kill 400 innocent people just to get one person.

What Palestinians survived cannot be overstated.

So spending your early years in nigeria is now the basis of being a Nigerian citizen.
Expatriates who gave birth to kids in nigeria and who's kids grew up in nigeria are now nigeria citizens??because according to you spending your early years in nigeria makes you a nigerian citizen

The only yardstick that makes the nigerian citizen case stick is that she has Nigerian parents having nigerian parents makes you a candidate for nigeria citizenship according to the laws that caters for citizenship in nigeria..her growing up in nigeria is not a criteria for her being nigerian.

The bottom line is that kemi has likely renounce her nigeria nationality, and only identify as Briton now..
Obama was born in the US to a Kenyan father which according to kenya laws make him a kenyan citizen. but he doesn't have a kenya citizenship and identity solely as an american.

Lookman was born in the UK to nigerian parents and had his early years in the UK and was a UK citizen until 2022 when he switched allegiance to nigeria. Is lookman still a UK citizen?? The answer is no the moment he took the nigeria citizenship he renounced his UK nationality making him a full nigerian national.

Kemi is Briton, she having nigerian parents or stayed in nigeria doesn't matter.. she identifies has Briton her bio says so..

WTF am I even reading here.

I hope you have evidence that Kemi applied for a Nigerian visa when leaving the UK. And that she lived in Nigeria for the next 15+ years on a residence permit.

I don't even know what to write about the Lookman part. It's so disappointing that I can't believe it was you that wrote it. Fucking Unbelievable.

sainttwist1:
I am just asking....how can Hamas claim genocide and still claim victory. Are you saying the genocide cry was a war tactics too or it is just you their supporters on nairaland that only see the genocide

Come on, use your brain.

Hitler committed genocide and still lost.
Ottoman empire committed genocide and still lost.
Israel committed genocide and still can't claim victory over Hamas.

While I will consider it a military stalemate, it is still a technical victory for Hamas. None of Israel's objectives during the war was achieved by military means. Instead the occupier country and its citizens are now a pariah across the world.

BAZZZZZZ:
applicants are much for this intake I have applied for six people

I believe so.

Lancaster told me they have reached their capacity already.

I hope I can get in for anyone though. I can't be here after May.

BAZZZZZZ:
7days

Thanks.

I am just praying their May intake capacity is not yet filled up.

Just applied to MREs May intake at both Bolton and Wolverhampton.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a decision?

BAZZZZZZ:
MRes programs allow you to bring dependents, but not all schools permit this. For example, some MRes programs, like those at the University of Derby, do not allow dependents.

Thank you.

GeeKlasic:
I’d be glad if anyone can recommend a not so expensive option for MRes that allows dependent. Not MSc by research

God bless y’all, Amen.

Please, I need clarification on this.

Is it only the MREs that allows dependants? I'm of the opinion that the Msc by research is also a research degree and hence qualifies to bring along a dependent.

Now that the Gaza genocide is gradually coming to an end, which Middle East conflict do you see next?

- Syria-Lebanon war
- Syria civil war
- Lebanon civil war

Regex:
I am not Iran lost much in this war. It depends on how you see it, I believe they are gearing up to getting that which they need. LordAdam16 what do you think?

Iran lost many things. Not directly in the Hamas conflict but as a result of the conflict.

- Their own top commanders without adequate response. They did show some strength when they fired missiles into Israel twice. I didn't see a tit for tat response.

- Lost Syria to Turkey and now slowing losing influence to Saudi in Lebanon.

- Proved to the world they cannot be trusted as their own military has been infiltrated. The assassination of Haniyeh in a military complex in Tehran is a perfect example. Even the assassination of Nasrallah happened when he was meeting Iranian Generals, including Gen. Abbas Nilforushan.

- The axis of resistance is gradually dismantling. Syria is gone, Hezbollah has unlinked their Israel conflict with Gaza, and for some reason the 250k strong Iraqi PMF that was marching to Syria did not fight.

Patiently waiting for the official ceasefire agreement.

Hamas has held on far more than anybody expected. And there will also be reprieve for Palestinians who have survived genocidal attempts.

I can't even believe Hamas is holding on strong at this stage with the Israeli prisoners still in their possession especially when "Hamas has lost its military capabilities", "Israel has destroyed almost all the tunnels", and "killed 17k out of their 20k members". Imagine Israel still having "difficult days" at this stage where almost all of Gaza is flattened.

By the way, the biggest loser of the conflict is Iran.

The way this thread is moving faster, it's hard to keep up if you don't check it in a day

From a close range gun battle to suddenly being face to face with each other. Horrible.

Cc: Alamkiir

Who has seen the full footage of the hand to hand combat between a Ukrainian soldier and a Russian soldier?

So chilling.

Just dey play and be acting like a novice was it not this same country useless bubu rehabilitated deadly boko haram and call them repentant Boko haram baba even give them green and white uniform.

Same group of stupid decisions.

I criticized bubu too.

afadi2410:
God pardoned you, that is why you are still alive otherwise He would have squished you like a common roach long time ago

I hope you're not talking about the same god famed and praised for killing Innocents in large numbers from Babylon to Egypt to Canaan. The same god who sanctioned the killing and smashing of innocent children against rocks (Psalm 137:9)?



What a merciful god he is

I'm not interested in US politics but it's funny to me how someone can basically "pardon" convicted violent mass killers.

People that are supposed to be used as an example to others to let them know what awaits them. No wonder all these mass shooters get copycats in the US.

Almiron:
City look defeated, both physically and mentally. Look how they reacted to conceding. Broken.

Not even sure this side finishes in the top 4 anymore; NEVER thought I’d be saying that about a Pep Guardiola side.

They will most likely finish in top 4.

What other options are there?

Spurs or Man United. City has been losing for weeks but both clubs have not even taken advantage. Maybe Villa can spring a surprise but I'm not sure.

At some point city will get back to winning ways.

The event in Magdeburg is confusing.

- Saudi National
- Wanted in Saudi for terrorism charges
- Seeked asylum in Germany in 2006
- Germany refused to extradite him
- Well known for his pro-Israel stance on X
- Also for his anti-Islam stance
- Retweets racist accounts like Radio Genoa
- Supports the AFD Party in Germany
- Pro Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson


Crazy development

Ghostagain:
Those who live in Nigeria and act like the fate of 200 000 unemployed battle hardened soldiers doesn't matter should have a rethink, just 10 000 of them hired as mercenaries could march on Nigeria and cause huge problems for the Nigerian army. Don't think they will all remain in the middle east, people all around the world are going to be looking to hire them.

What will they be looking for in Nigeria? Armed groups in Nigeria do not have the financial capabilities to pay them.

For the rest of the developed world, a destabilized Nigeria is not in their best interests. With over 150 million youths, most of whom are eager to leave the country, a destabilized Nigeria is the perfect reason for many to claim asylum in these countries, especially in Europe. Add that to the fact that the country is very corrupt and nationals of other African countries can easily get Nigerian passports.

Nigeria might suffer from terrorism and increase in violent crime, but I don't think we will ever get to the stage of civil war or a group marching on the capital in the next 10 years.

@digitaccountant, I need your advise.
Should I drop Malta for Germany (Opportunity Card) or I continue with Malta processing.
My Malta Institution MCAST postponed my resumption to January 2025. Visa processing will start in October 2024.
However, Germany has given me a date for Opportunity Card Visa Appointment; which is earlier than that of Malta.

.

Hello Bros,

Please the opportunity card appointment you got, did you apply in Nigeria?

And how many months after application did you get the appointment. I'll really appreciate your response.

digilexsolution:
What about student visa that takes about 2 and a half years. They know about it. For me is a deliberate way to cut down numbers of applicants from some particular countries. But again waiting that long with dwindling exchange rate is very risky.

I understand.

I called the embassy and they didn't pick up. I emailed them and got a generic reply. How about applying in other African countries like Ivory Coast and Ghana. Is it the same for all of them?

Hannania:
The application was launched on the 13th of June. People who booked that same day are yet to get appointment completely. There's no easy route to leave Nigeria "as soon as possible" for Germany besides having a job and getting it pre-approved. That takes just 3 weeks.

Thank you. I can't imagine waiting over one year for an appointment.

Can someone even call the Lagos embassy to ask these things. One year is a very long time.

I'm sorry to bother you guys since this is for student visa but I'm urgently in need of advice about the opportunity card.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get appointment for opportunity Card/Chancekarte? I have someone that needs to leave the country as soon as possible. Before we go ahead with the blocked account, we would like to know if the person can get an appointment and travel in 3-4 months.

The person finished a masters in Germany if that changes anything.

I doubt the person that wrote this is even a lawyer sef. So many grammatical errors in one small print.

Btw op, it's not legal. No one gives a yearly tenant a 7-day notice. But then, this is Nigeria where the rule of law is tossed aside most times. I hope you don't have any outstanding rents.

What are your thoughts on this?

To be honest, I can't even give a honest opinion on the events in Syria. I haven't had time to follow them properly, except just seeing periodic updates.

I am still waiting to see how this works for Hezbollah. But one thing is clear now, Syria is the new Libya.

Hopefully,

I couldn't believe this is a newspaper headline.

From the Telegraph about HTS. Al Qaeda is being rebranded in my lifetime. Unbelievable.

WTF is diversity-friendly jihadists?

So refreshing to see Ilamina on this list.

I don't even know him/her and never had any exchange with him/her. I just wish whoever it is can disappear from nairaland.

Creates senseless and very annoying threads. Makes me wish nairaland has a block or mute button.

Life is funny Sha.

Never in my life did I ever envision mainstream support and active cheering for Al Qaeda, especially from those who kept calling us Islamists because we support freedom for Palestinians. One slave was blabbing all about when I said Al Qaeda was not attacking US and her allies again because they are now fighting for US interests.

A former ISIS, Al Qaeda and Al Nusra terrorist leader now being rebranded as a suit-wearing "rebel leader".

Interesting. I await the day when these "house slaves" will tell us Boko Haram are freedom fighters

motayoayinde:
E be like say na small difference dey between the Syrian army and the Lebanese army.

Not really. The Syrian army is definitely much more better armed and capable than the Lebanese Army can ever dream of.

That's the problem with frozen conflicts. The Syrian army got too relaxed after fighting stopped, the others built up. During a blitz like this, you have to choose where could be easily defended.

The LAF on the other hand had a year of announcements to prepare. They don't even deserve to be called an army.

obedience4:
Obama wife crime according to you was snaping a picture with the Hashtag. It was a global movement alot of other celebrities and world leaders also participated. The Pakistan girl right activist also participated. While single out Obama wife?

From your propaganda of LGBTQ rights being the reason of the arms blockage to now puting the blame on the US for your security woes. How was a group of terrorist able to move in large numbers attack a school for hours and be able to move that number of girls with such ease without security agencies being able to intercept them??

The south African authorities were the ones who arrested the arms dealers, not the US, everything shouldn't be propaganda, we all followed the news live.

Since you started buying the Russian weapons has the terrorist attack in the north stopped?? Is nigeria security better off now than it was during GEJ??

Black man with black mentality. Blame others but themselves.

Maybe if she actually cared about the movement and the girls, she would have told her foolish husband not to stand in the way of bringing those girls back. Just saying..... Sekuseye eeyan

I did not see where I said US seized cash nor arrested arm dealers. Your eyes dey work so?

Imagine a country who cannot live and let live. Trying to impose barbaric cultures and going out all the way to hurt the country and her citizens by standing aggressively in the way of the country legitimately defending her citizens, indirectly causing thousands of deaths of our countrymen.

Should the last question even be a question? I'm sure Northerners on the thread can answer you definitively. Imagine Yobe, Adamawa and Borno when GEJ was doing beggy-beggy for weapons. Let me refresh people's memories a bit.

Abuja collect sef plenty times, most notably Nyanya and Wuse bombings. 88 deaths and 200 injuries in Nyanya bus station alone.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_2014_Nyanya_bombing

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuse_bombing

Jos, Plateau was also collecting, most notably the May 2014 double bombings that killed 118 of our countrymen.

Baga Massacre, January 2015. 2000 people . Baga suffered a massacre twice.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Baga_massacre

By now, maybe we would have been talking about Boko Haram in Kogi, Nasarawa, and Illorin sef.

Na GEJ I blame na. E put eyes for only one place. As much as I dislike Buhari, when it comes to terrorism and infrastructure, baba no dey sideline anybody. Always shopping around from anybody.

Anyway, thanks to former President Trump for removing most of the evils of Obama from our dear country. It will not be well for Obama and whoever defends Obama in Nigeria.
