Dey play. You would continue "damaging US military sites" until you cease to exist

There's more to life than hurriedly starting a family.

You need a certain level of maturity to start a family.

Babies have babies is not admirable. Abeg make una rest

Fulani, if you know you know. I wouldn't go into too much details but they have been caught in Edo state doing the same thing.

Mrchippychappy:
Forget, Iran were never going to do it. If dem try am, for every 1 of the 800 souls, Trump and Netanyahu for send 20 in return, so 800x 20 for be the real score. The virgin manufacturing machine go overheat and catch fire.

When I mentioned this back then, everyone was running their mouth. How market? how far? in what world when any logical thinking person think Iran can match USA?

How can you be thousands of miles away in Iran and be sponsoring terror in Nigeria? and you claim to be a supreme leader for a religion of peace. What nonsense

The world awoke to seismic news on February 28, 2026, when joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes targeted Tehran, resulting in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian state media confirmed the 86-year-old cleric's demise, declaring a 40-day mourning period amid vows of retaliation from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Khamenei, who had ruled since 1989, was killed at his office during the strikes, which U.S. President Donald Trump described as a step toward regime change. The attacks escalated into a broader conflict, with Iran launching missile and drone strikes on U.S. bases and Gulf cities, while thousands mourned in Tehran streets. Khamenei's death leaves a power vacuum, with no clear successor, potentially destabilizing the regime he hardened through support for proxies like Hezbollah and militias across the Middle East. This event underscores Iran's long-standing designation as the foremost state sponsor of terrorism, a role that extends beyond the Middle East into Africa, including Nigeria.

Khamenei's legacy includes bolstering Iran's influence through terrorism and proxy networks, often via the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). His passing raises questions about the continuity of these activities, particularly in regions like West Africa, where Iran has been accused of fueling instability. While Iranian officials deny direct involvement, framing ties as ideological or humanitarian, Western intelligence and reports paint a picture of active sponsorship. Similarly, Turkey's expanding footprint in Africa has drawn scrutiny for alleged indirect support to jihadist groups, though Ankara emphasizes counterterrorism cooperation. Below, we break down the reported involvements of Iran and Turkey in Nigeria's terrorism landscape, drawing on diverse sources to provide a balanced view.

Iran's Alleged Sponsorship of Terrorism in Nigeria
Iran has been designated by the U.S. as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984, with activities including financial, training, and material support to proxies like Hezbollah and local Shiite groups in Nigeria. This support aims to undermine rivals, spread instability, and advance Tehran's ideological goals, often through the IRGC-QF. In Nigeria, these efforts have targeted Western and Israeli interests while bolstering Shiite militias.

Key incidents include:

- 2013 Hezbollah Cell Dismantling:
Nigerian authorities uncovered a weapons cache in Kano, arresting three Lebanese Hezbollah operatives linked to Iran. The arsenal, including antitank weapons and explosives, was intended for attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets. The operatives received training from Hezbollah, funded by the IRGC-QF.

- Surveillance and Plotting: In February 2013, a Shiite imam in Ilorin was arrested for leading a cell that surveilled USAID, Peace Corps, and Israeli sites after training in Iran. This cell, funded via Dubai, plotted attacks on prominent Nigerians and foreign entities to unsettle the West.

- Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) Ties: The IMN, a prominent Shiite group, has received Iranian funding, training in explosives, and ideological support. While IMN claims limited ties, former Iranian officials describe it as a proxy. This has fueled sectarian tensions in northern Nigeria.

- Arms Shipments: In 2010, Nigeria intercepted an Iranian arms shipment destined for West African rebels, highlighting Tehran's role in regional proliferation. Broader assessments note Iran's use of African hubs for Hezbollah logistics.

These allegations primarily come from U.S. and Western sources, which Iranian officials dismiss as politically motivated to isolate Tehran. Iran maintains that its African engagements are cultural and religious, not terrorist. However, Iran's high ranking in global terrorism indices underscores persistent concerns.

Turkey's Alleged Involvement in Terrorism in Nigeria

Unlike Iran, Turkey is not designated a state sponsor of terrorism and actively positions itself as a counterterrorism partner in Africa, including Nigeria. However, allegations of indirect support to groups like Boko Haram have surfaced, tied to arms deals, illicit flows, and ideological sympathies from some Turkish figures. These claims are more speculative and often denied by Ankara.

Notable reports include:

- **2014 Arms Transfer Allegations**: A leaked recording implicated Turkish Airlines and officials in supplying weapons to Boko Haram. Nigerian investigations followed, with claims of sophisticated arms reaching insurgents.

- **Ideological Support**: A former advisor to President Erdoğan advocated backing "Islamic groups" in Nigeria against "state terrorism" by African governments, framing counterinsurgency as oppression.

- **2019-2020 Probes**: Nigeria's military investigated Turkish arms allegedly reaching Boko Haram, amid defense deals with West African states. Some media labeled Turkey a "terrorist state" in this context, though officially, ties are for counterterrorism.

- **Illicit Flows**: Turkey's role in gold from jihadist areas in the Sahel potentially benefits al-Qaeda-linked groups near Nigeria. Security agreements with Niger and others raise suspicions of dual-use support.

Turkish officials, including Ambassador Mehmet Poroy, deny sponsorship, highlighting shared counterterrorism efforts and Turkey's own battles against ISIS and the PKK. Ankara frames accusations as misinformation to undermine its African influence, emphasizing military training and aid to combat extremism. Pro-government sources view these claims as part of rivalries in arms markets.

Broader Implications Amid Khamenei's Death

Khamenei's assassination could disrupt Iran's proxy networks, including in Nigeria, potentially weakening groups like the IMN. For Turkey, expanding ties, such as drone sales and training, offer opportunities but invite scrutiny. Both nations' activities highlight how geopolitical rivalries fuel African instability, with Nigeria bearing the brunt through groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa. Balanced international cooperation remains essential to address terrorism financing and arms flows.
