ElSudani:
100 years ago according to what history? Do you have any idea how long Arab have in North Africa?

All the Arab states in the middle east are a product of the collapse of the Ottoman empire in 1922. The allied powers Britain and France and Italy occupied Constantinople and implemented the Sykes-Picot agreement which divided d Ottoman empire along their s of influence. It was d allied western powers mainy Britain and France who drew up the borders of these modern Arab states, that was a hundred years ago. Go and find out if there was any vountry called Saudi Arabia or Jordan or Qatar in 1900. Don't drag me to give u a lesson in modern history which u won't pay for. BTW hope u now admit Arabs are not indigenous to Africa, that they were land grabbers and usurpers and therefore occupiers.

ElSudani:
Your references to medieval wars of conquest is quite laughable. There was a time in history when you can kidnap a woman and maker her your wife, why don't you try that now?

So when exactly do u draw the line? The map of d middle east was drawn around a hundred years ago, that's not too long ago in timeline of history. Contrast whatever I said. How fair is it to allow Arabs keep d lands they stole and conquered in war cos it happened many years ago and refuse others, after all 1948 and 1967 is also many years ago

ElSudani:
Anyone can see through your one sided glorification of Israeli military might as supported and propped up by their western allies.
I have nothing against Israel but only an extremely biased or perhaps dumb person will not understand the root cause of all the crisis in the middle east, which is the Palestinian issue.
You deviously left out any mention of Palestine. The Houthis and the Hamas of this world did not exist before the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.
One thing is certain, if the world did not allow the Nazis to exterminate the Jews, I doubt they will stand by and let the Jews exterminate the Palestinians.

Let's be fair as much as we can though that would always be very difficult. That land u call Palestine is disputed territory, both sides have legitimate claims. Unfortunately severally when peace was brokered for them to have two states, it was always d Arab side that refused d proposal. In 1947, 2000, 2006, d Arabs always were d ones that said no. Now who really owns d land? Does any of us own any lands? The land belongs to d conqueror otherwise how did Arabs come to live in Africa when their original home is d Arabian peninsula before d rise of Islam? They conquered north Africa and Sudan, Sudan used to be black, now it's Arab Republic and a member of d Arab league. How Doesn't that hurt u as a black man? Now back to d Arab Israeli conflict, there is no question that Jews were indigenous to that place, even d quran attest to that. Jesus was a Jew, Roman records confirm Pontius Pilate was actually Procurator of Judea meaning it was not a fairy tale. Roman Emperor Hadrian was d one who finally banished d Jews afte their rebellion and holdout at Masada, every Jew in that fotress fought to d death, not a single Arab was in that land to fight d Romans. The province was called Judea and Galilea, it was Hadrian that changed d name to Palestine, not d Arabs as they were still at d Arabian peninsula then. Twas d rise of Islam that brought Arab migrants there and they made d place their home so Palestine as it was now called was never their indigenous home. But I admit we are all migrants, even my grandfathers came from somewhere before settling in Uromi Edo state so I won't accept someone telling me their ancient grandfathers were once there before my fathers. Unfortunately wars have been used to settle claims like this and over so many years it favoured d Arabs as they used war to claim territory upon territory. Now let's look at Hebron, in d Oslo peace treaty, Israel agreed to give it up, same with Bethlehem which are now all in d West Bank. Hebron is from d word "Hebrew" which is d most ancient name of d Jews, it's were d founders of Israel are buried, Joseph, Jacob, etc, d place is called Tomb of d Patriarchs. So u can imagine d sentiments of d Jews to Hebron. Unfortunately for them, when d Arabs came, they built their own mosque right on d same place of d Jewish tomb of d patriarch and called theirs Ibrahimi mosque. That's same way they built d Alasqa mosque on d same spot where d Jews had Solomon's temple. Google Hebron massacre, it happened around 1922 when Arabs attacked and committed genocide against Jews, no repercussions. Now Israel took all these lands in 1967, tell me any country that has willingly gave back what she won in war. Tell me any Arab country that have back what she won in war. So Israel has been very benevolent. Look at Gaza, it was under Egyptian occupation from 1948 to 1967, why didn't they give Palestinians independence? West Bank was under Jordan from 1948 to 1967, why didn't they give Palestinians independence? My suggestion to d Palestinians is that they stop listening to those beating their chest and urging them to fight on. They should cut their losses, negotiate with Israel and get their state with concessions from both sides and renounce Hamas and Islamic terrorism of any kind, make their state a demilitarized one like Japan. They should learn to love their children more than they hate the Jews.

ElSudani:
We are not saying the same thing. I just wanted to know why he is so concerned about the middle east to the point of issuing a warning to Iran.

Seems u enjoy d sound of war, d bombs, the cries, the use of children and women as human shields, the carrying of dead bodies of babies thru d streets for d cameras to see as if it's a trophy, then calling on d UN, ICC and ICJ to declare d war genocide when u should not had started it in d first place. My write up warns Iran and it's cheerleaders to halt any thoughts of war. Why that should upset u is what I don't understand Mr ElSudani!

ElSudani:
What a load of nonsense. The Suez canal is in Egypt, a country you did mention in your write up. Apart from the fact that the crisis between Israel and Iran doesn't affect movement of goods through the Suez canal how come you did say anything about trade through out your write up.

I didn't mention trade cos it's obvious and in my reply to u I did mention that only buffons won't see d correlation. Ok, also morons wouldn't see d correlation. If u are coming from suez canal from Europe, next call is d red sea and that's where d Houthis are. The Houthis are some of d nuisance/terrorist groups being prompted by Iran so any war involving Iran also involves d Houthis. When d Houthis were siezing ships a few months ago, did d war directly affect them? No. But cos it involves their other partners in d axis of evil being Hamas and Hizbollah, they started disrupting international trade and even cut underground internet cables that resonated as far as West Africa/Nigeria. Wars have ramifications far beyond the epicenter of action. I need not lecture u on this, I assumed it's learned adults that are on this platform.

ElSudani:
And what exactly is your headache with the middle east crisis?
How does it affect you as a West African?

It affects international trade through d suez canal, it affects global energy prices, it therefore affects our livelihood. Also a nuclear leak anywhere in d world can find it's way to Nigeria's coasts. Except someone is a Buffon, the implication of wars in d middle east is too obvious not to see

The events of the last 24 hours has exposed Iran as a mediocre third world country still at the rudimentary level of security intelligence, national security, military capabilities and technology. Over the years, the Islamic Republic and it's cheer leaders have portrayed Iran as an emergent global power able to take down the major powers. They had boasted that their military capacity was top notch and that they would deal with Israel ruthlessly whenever they deem fit. Their enrichment of uranium almost to nuclear warhead capacity was tainted as evidence that they had arrived and that Israel or even d US would never directly dare them.
We tried to explain to the Iranian cheerleaders that d Islamic Republic has never successfully prosecuted any war save their stalemate with Iraq that ended in d late 80s and their arming rebels and terrorists around their region is not evidence of capacity. We explained to them that d ease with which Israel took out their nuclear scientists and head of their revolutionary guards showed they were no match for d global powers not to talk of d pin point elimination of Soleimani by d US and inability of Iran to retaliate decisively. So last month, when they finally shot missiles and drones that took upwards of 6 hours to reach Israel passing thru d airspace of other countries, 99% of them intercepted, Iran and their cheerleaders celebrated like they just won d world cup. Israel having been pressured by d US chose to reply symbolically and many didn't even get d significance, d missiles Israel shot at Iran were shot from deep around or within Iranian territory meaning that Israel could breach their territory without d consent or airspace of d neighbors. Then d disaster of May 19.
Helicopter crashes are common, that was not d issue. Below are
1. Iran still uses a US made helicopter manufactured over 50 years ago. Since both countries broke relations since 1979, it means d helicopter must had been bought at d black market and it's parts whenever it needs servicing are bought at d black mkt. So Iran cannot buy helicopters from their so called friends like Russia and China such that they prefer to use a second or third hand helicopter for their president?
2. Iran has not fully mapped their country such that it took upwards of 15hours to locate d debris of the helicopter carrying their president?
3. Iran has no radar or satellite capacity to locate objects within its own territory that she had to call on d EU, Turkey, Russia and d Saudis to help them track their own Presidential helicopter inside their own country? It was ultimately a Turkish drone that located d wreckage according to some reports
4. Iran has not mastered d elements, d weather as it hampered their search for hours. If they were to prosecute a war with Israel or d US in terrible weather conditions, it means they would go completely blind

Please let's advise Iran to go and rest. Any war with Israel would be a complete obliteration and we would be hearing cries of genocide and ICJ. They are not in same level. Such a war should never be allowed to happen.
The international community should urgently take more seriously d issue of Iran's quest for nuclear weapons. They don't have d capacity and technology to maintain nuclear reactors. The world and that region in particular doesn't need another Chernobyl. If need be force should be used to halt d program and put it to an end. Iran doesnt even have military intelligence or d technology to resist an attack on their nuclear power sites anyway.
Iran should be advised to stay at home and stop interfering in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen where they are arming terrorists. The regional ambition they aspire to is not for mediocre third world countries that embarrass themselves before the world by taking over 15hours to locate their Presidential helicopter crash inside their own country and crying yonother countries to come and help them. Let them concentrate on development and be a positive example to the world. A word is enough for d wise.

Racoon:
The CJN is not serious! Even the presidential election trial judgement was a charade under his reigns yet he is issuing warning strikes to other. Case of pot calling kettle black.

What was d charade at d PEPT? Cos Obi instead of bringing evidence brought meatpie boxes and never showed d figures with which he said he won? U wanted him to be elevated from third to first? He based his hope on disqualification of Tinubu and d PEPT citing the laws of d land could not disqualify him. And d 25% FCT? That itself was an embarrassment and a charade to expect a part of Nigeria to have a veto on d rest of us. So it was Obi, his lawyers and his Obidients that were a charade, not d PEPT

I hope this lawyer has not collected money from d community to deceive them? Lands within 200m from the coastline of any state belongs to the federal government, there is no argument on that, it's an extent law. Any structure within that 200m doesn't belong to any community. And which community buried their dead within 200m of d ocean?
BTW can d lawyer define a shanty for us?

BigkokoRep:
The year was 2015, and that was the year Asiwaju started his presidential journey.....but faced the first real battle that culminated in people like hell-Rufai, et al taking the drug mule for granted during Buhari's infamous 8 year rule.
Audu a Bossom friend of Asiwaju had reached out to Asiwaju to bankroll his election with the understanding that Asiwaju would be the one to nominate a successor.....Rep Faleke was quickly drafted to deputize Abubakar Audu, and they both won! But before they could be sworn in, death came calling! Audu suddenly died, words on the street was that he was poisoned by "YOU KNOW WHO TO SUSPECT!"

No sooner than the death was announced, the hawks quickly descend on Aso Rock and promptly got presidential backing to deny Faleke his due.... Here's where a useful tool; Yahaya Bello came in. I heard, it was explained to him of the pact Audu has with Asiwaju, and if the presidency wish to zero in on their own man; Bello, Yahaya Bello should at least be willing to accepted Faleke as deputy, Bello refused and like a hot head Niger deltan Ibo he chased the emissary from Asiwaju out of his office..... The rest they say is history.

Now, I ask you. If you are Bello, wont be afraid of entering Asiwaju trap? If you are Bello will you look forward to a fair trial? Look my friends, let's remove vendetta from politics and things will wise up naturally! I do not Advise Yahaya Bello to turn him in.

If you are fair, just and wish Nigerian Constitution well, between Yahaya Bello and Ganduje, who should Efcc be expanding their war chest on right? With Bello Yahaya, they will have to unearth evidences, which off course his successor Ododo, little lion is and will not give, or Ganduje whose graft evidences is all over the places! Infact, Efcc I tell you will only have to pay their lawyer, and court filings to convict Ganduje....but the dollar nigga is Asiwaju friend, so oga Efccc gab give a blind eye!

These are your options:
1. Hole up in Lugard's House for the next remaining three years, team up with the young Turks in the north and NEF who have signalled the need to chase Asiwaju away in 2027. El Rufai is your best friend at this point!
2. Negotiate your way to any embassy in Nigeria and seek Assylum there till Asiwaju is chased away in 2027, then you submit your self to fair, non vindictive trial...

Bigkoko ~ we can help you more than how you think!!!!

Abubakar Audu’s Death: INEC confused over fate of inconclusive Kogi governorship poll

Childish conjectures. Yahaya Bello is not a factor by miles for 2027 pls. What's d electoral population of Kogi and for Bello who is Ebira, minority in Kogi? U guys made all d worst predictions about Asiwaju before d 2023 elections. He was not supposed to win d primaries, Oshiomhole was removed for that purpose, Buni was installed for that purpose, Edo was sold out by d presidency for that purpose, End sars burnt down Lagos in targeting him. Adamu Abdulahi was made APC chair to stop him, Lawan was chosen as consensus candidate for that purpose, Oyegun was head of screening committee to stop him, u remember d rule that statutory delegates won't vote, the electoral amendment NASS tried to correct which Buhari refused to sign? Statutory delegates didn't end up voting yet he won by miles. It was meant to stop him, d fuel scarcity and cash confiscation without a doubt were all meant to stop him. If all d above could not stop him, is it when he now has all d instruments of state in his pocket in 2027 that he will now be stopped? Abeg let's discuss more intelligent things, not these palmwine drinking conjectures.
Yahaya Bello by next week will submit himself for trial, there is no big deal about him. He is not d first ex gov to be so accused. Stop reading meaningless meanings

Kwaramustgoodag:
then how much is minimum wages of those countries since then to our own. Things are increasing as u said is normal, but did salary increased?

Minimum wage is not d best indicator though minimum wage in 2000 was around N7,500. Today it's X 400%. But d best indicator is average wages. A fresh graduate joining a bank in 2000 as an Executive Trainer used to receive about 340K per annum. Today he receives close to that in a month meaning that wage band has grown over 100%

Bridget95:
No one is bitter about GEJ election loss but rather sensible Nigerians are going insane that goods and services are 15 times more expensive than GEJ left it.

Can u equally compare the price of goods and services between 1999/2000 and and 2014? Check d UK and US economy and inflation also, it's normal for prices to rise. Remember that real income has also increased, in 2000 how many people were riding jeeps, how many had cable TV's at home? Things that were luxury then are basic necessities today

Cos of all those that contested d election, only Obi is still campaigning, celebrating bad news and disturbing fasting moslems by going to eat their food. Only his supporters have refused to accept d election results, have said Obi is their president and not PBAT. So Obi is d one courting attacks on himself

AlexBells:

Since all us fair in war, stop crying for a ceasefire, stop calling d UN and int community to condemn Israel, stop calling for ceasefire, let them fight till either is subdued

elhakiimed:
At the moment, if you still comment online saying "unprovoked", you should bury your face in shame for your naivety.

Palestinians die everyday before 6th Oct, and it's been like that for decades.

You say they took hostages. Same hostages that were waving Hamas goodbye during evacuation, while isreal idf return child hostages in headlock.

Are u kidding? So cos hostages are waving their captives goodbye means they enjoy being held captive? U don't sound human at all. Go and be kidnapped first, those kidnapped in Nigeria years ago like Nkem Owoh and Pete Edochie never said any thing bad about their captives when they were released cos of fear and trauma, would take a long time to get yourself back. BTW tot u said u were unbiased and wanted unbiased reasons for support? Do u consider urself unbiased? U are sounding like a terrorist sympathiser.

elhakiimed:
I support Palestinians because I believe nobody deserves to die as if their lives mean any less.

There are innocent jews and arabs suffering in this crisis, and the UN, ICC, Nato are openly biased. They treat Ukraine invasion as an abomination and then Gaza like a fumigation exercise. It's evil.

But Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, I mean govt of Ukraine didn't attack Russian territory before they were invaded. On the other hand govt of Gaza which is Hamas invaded Israel, attacked, killed and jidnapped their citizens before Israel retaliated, invaded in search of their kidnapped citizens. Are u saying u don't know this?

elhakiimed:
But it didnt start with Hamas attack on oct 7th. People in palestine died everyday before Oct 6th, and after Oct 7, over 20 thousand humans, kids included.

If you kill 10 rats in the street, you can imagine how littered the whole place looks. Imagine innocent humans in thousand.

So how far back should we go? Both sides have been exchanging fire for so long. We all know Israel left Gaza completely in 2005 and dismantled all their former settlements there allowing them to rule themselves but they started throwing rockets at Israel. So if u claim it didn't start on Oct 7, how far back to do want to go so we can start from there?

I keep saying Obidients don't even know Obi, they are d most imbecilic set of people ever, I hate even discussing issues with them cos they don't know and they don't want to know.

Adebanjo is obviously senile. The Supreme Court has ruled that his trial is lawful and should proceed while d Federal High Court has denied his bail application. What has Tinubu to do with it? Let Mr Kanu face his day in court, if d court frees him d FG will appeal up to d Supreme Court. If d Supreme Court finally frees him he goes home. But if he is found guilty, let him serve d punishment and go to prison,.perhaps for life. He is not above the laelw pls

Best Dressed Female award: Nigerians have no right to criticize Bobrisky as long as she hasn’t broken any law - TV Host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown

Nigeria media personality, Morayo Afolabi-Brown has stated that Nigerians have no right to criticize Bobrisky for winning the Best Dressed Female award at a function in Lagos last weekend.



Morayo argued that Bobrisky has not broken any law because he dressed like a woman. She argued that the Nigerian law frowns at same sex relationships but not against crossdressers.

‘’He is the conversation and is a very good example of the Nigerian factor. In one hand, Nigerians say they are against this, 14 years if you are caught trying to be with the same sex. There is no law against crossdressing, anybody can dress how they want to dress but the act or the perception of it, a person can be arrested or invited for questioning.

On one hand, Nigeria is like No, on the other hand, we see this and skirt around the issue. This is a man who is well protected , he has never been questioned, arrested for his choices because we have not even seen who he is dating because if he is indeed a woman, he should be dating a man.

There are conversations around this ‘Shim’ and it is confusing. So, when ‘shim’ goes for a competition with the ladies, why are we therefore feeling offended because ‘shim’ has changed body and ‘’shim' is a woman.

This is my own stand. As long as this person has not broken any law, as long as the law has not arrested ‘shim’ for anything, we have no right to criticize ‘shim’ for winning a competition that ‘shim’ has offered herself to.

‘Shim’ is a Nigerian and should be respected and given that regard regardless of what ‘shim’ decides''

This Morayo always want to be politically correct, alwas yanning dust. But somehow being Aka Bashorun's daughter, family name has kept carrying her otherwise she isn't a very smart lady at all, her thought process hardly aligns properly. I recall when she said she doesn't trust her husband to bathe her baby daughter only to apologize and be crying on set two days later after backlash and d nonesense she said about her own employers during Endsars when d studio was burnt. Was shocked she still had d shame to return there where she works up to this day

Putindbutt:
Everyone knows it is a constitutional matter, however, how can it be fasttracked if governors do not show commitments knowing that the amendements of the constitution largerly depend on the governors. For the creation of police and other issues, the lawmakers both at national and state levels receive greenlight from their governors. The executive knows very well the type of people they're dealing with, disloyal and unstable characters. If you all met together and agreed, why not back it up and submit your report?. A lot of the times, these people agree over an issue at NEC but go back to their states and do otherwise.

Don't mind Makinde. He is not committed to State Police that's why he is not submitting memoranda. Yes it's d work of NASS but d presidency is asking for your input so that when it gets to d states u won't complain u were not consulted and use ur influence with your lawmakers to block it. State policing is complex, d bill to be sent to NASS needs d buy in of all d critical stakeholders but cos Makinde doesn't really want to shoulder d responsibility of policing his state, he is being coy. He doesn't want to be forced to account for his huge security votes. What would he lose if he sends his suggestions to NEC as they already agreed? If he opposed sending memo, why didn't he say so during d NEC meeting where d decision was taken?

If Peter obi with all his success in the banking and business world cannot become the president of Nigeria, then the problem is Nigeria and not Peter Obi, there is something obviously wrong with Nigeria and not Peter obi.

What are the successes of Peter Obi in banking that we will not hear world. That he was Chairman of a mid tier bank after being a major shareholder from being a trader? People have been Executive Directors, Group Managing Directors/CEO and Chairmen of tier one banks, in fact of more than one bank. Obi has never being an executive in a bank, he knows zero about credit or risk mgt or domestic/internation operations. So don't give d impression Obi was one superstar like that, no. Even as a governor d man was mediocre, none of u ever sang his praises as governor, twas only in 2022 that u all suddenly woke up and decided oh, it's your turn and Obi became ur poster boy
