This is an evidence that electing idiots have consequences. Nigerians will make the same mistake next year.

Bro, I want you to reflect on this.

Do developing nations need democratic process to elect their leaders?

How can such a dedicated leadership be achieved without a democratic process?

Some nations achieved phenomenal growth through one party rule, eg., China and Singapore

South Korea through military rule

Rwanda: multi party system that turned to strong-man rule

Vietnam: one party rule

Eu/Ru/US/AU: these were “old monies” that had emperors who conquered other nations and acquired wealth ; then education and strong institutions that guide them till this day.


Singapore and Malaysia both started at the same mark, but due to a singular rule in Singapore and consistent policies, they were able to overtake Malaysia in terms in development. Similar scenario when we compare China and India.

Let me know your thoughts

Towards the end of the month but I have a UK trip next week.

Hi. I sent you an email regarding visa enquiries. Kindly reply

yalo1234:

how did the visa thingy go?

Pakistan is a Muslim Country with Nukes, as Israel does.
Pakistan and some Countries with Nukes, have warned Israel to keep the War Conventional, for its own Safety.
Israel is small size and 7Million People, Iran is more than Twenty times the size of Israel, with almost 100Million People.
Can somebody do the Maths, please?

Russia, Notrh Korea and China are also not smiling at Israel right now
You Nuke somebody, you also get Nuked.

Just to correct this fallacy, Pakistan will not fight for Iran. Pakistan is straddling two conundrums: security pact with Saudi Arabia and hatred of Israel; these do not necessarily translate to military intervention on behalf of Iran.

Russia and China will as always support in the backgrounds…but full fledge military intervention is not feasible. Remember the protagonists in these war are the “powers” on our planet that control critical levers of power: UN, Media, money etc.

Weird as this may sound, they could nuke Iran and possibly get away with it. Their media will justify it. UN will only gather in round tables. Countries on the periphery will only murmur behind the doors. ICC will refuse to see the war crime. Cuba is being nuked economically, and the world has remained silent.Here is a kicker: the judge who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza is under sanction by the powers of our world. His bank cards have been blocked.

PS:
We have let them in with 20 soldiers to train our Army. They have now grown to 200 with an MQ reaper base. Do you think it’s going to end well with us? Will they use us to form ent trouble against our neighbors who have turned East?

A diminishing hegemon is trying her best to retain global dominance; doing her utmost best to forestall the rise of China. May we not become collateral damage!

Peruez01:
You guys are not getting what's at play here

Israel is letting the whole world see what Iran's act and their strike pattern so that when Israel will retaliate no one will blame them

This is just an excuse for the failures of the Iron Dome. Civilians have died on both sides. US and Israel have bombed many hospital and civilian facilities in Iran including schools. The highest escalatory rung is for Israel to go nuclear. But then effects won’t be limited to Iran, the middles East and neighboring countries will also get affected. I guess their hands are tied.

ajalawole:
Write this down.

US is going to invade Iran. It will put boots on ground.

How do I know?

Three thousand Marines (elite US Soldiers) left US by ship about a week ago. 82nd Airborne Special Forces Paratroopers left by Air to a secret base in the last two days. All will be in position by Friday.

Then Trump announced that he is staying attack on Iranian Energy infrastructure till Friday because of ongoing talks.

That "ongoing talks" is just a smokescreen. A diversion. A distraction.

He is going to seize Kharg Island which handles 90% of Iranian oil export.

All Iranian defences on the Island have already been destroyed. Not one of the oil installation was damaged.

He will forcefully open Strait of Hormuz to allow free passage to oil tankers. Risk will evaporate. Insurance premiums on oil tankers will drop. Price of fuel will return to pre-war level. Free stolen crude regarded as spoil of war will flow to America.

Iranian's stockpile of enriched uranium for making nuclear bombs will be recovered. You think US doesn't know where it was hidden?

Dey play.

Trump has used this smokescreen of peace talks twice in the past. In June last year before the 12-day war and again at the onset of this current war. Each time he talk about peace talks and Iran relaxes, he launches a blitzkrieg.

You said he is trapped. NATO refuse to help. Europe has called his bluff. Allies gave him the cold shoulder. So he is helpless. Iran is winning. That is what he wants you to think. It gives him perfect cover to catch everyone by surprise.

Ask yourself this question, how are 3,000 soldiers going to occupy a country as a large as Iran with a population over 90 Million?

USA had approx 170,000 (peak) for the occupation of Iraq. Afghan war had over 100,000 coalition soldiers

Iran is 4x larger than Iraq with Rocky Mountains around most of the country.

Do the maths

jmoore:
Sowore, an opposition that is opposing an opposition.

You should have known that the guy is a fraud…pretending to be an activist. Working so hard to be the 5th columnist in the opposition ranks. Same with Adeyanju and co. All working for their pay checks.

sekeyso:
People that the system is cheating instead of them to be grateful to persons speaking up for their welfare, they defend the same system that have dehumanized them...God forbid anyone defending the criminal enterprise Nigeria runs on

Sometimes it is hard to understand the mindset of these Nigerians on NL.

9ja soldiers on deployment no dey get R&R?
Always inside Bush… him no dey get redeployment ?

The yankee guy speak for him… boys for NL dey attack am

nairalanda1:
LOL...everyone complains. It's because you are exposed to media targetting african people that you think it's just us.

If you read more global media, and history, you go see things.

Like now, Japanese people think that Koreans are subhuman, and that black people are subhuman, and even white people must be discrimated against.

Chinese people discrimate against blacks ...and white people (they used to call white people foreign devils..lol).

Regarding the region you quoted above, I have had the privilege to live in these countries. At the onset, they were welcoming because they assumed you were an American. later on the negative stereotype creeped in, when they begin to judge the differences, coupled with the attitudes of some unruly African lads.

About the complaints, it appears more pronounced from blacks? Could it be that I am more exposed to these peculiar news? Not sure.

Then again, I am of the mindset that if someone or some place doesn’t want me, why do I have to make bones out of it? I find those that want me. Is this a good mindset?

nairalanda1:
Racisim and tribalism is a global thing.
Even among whites...Irish people, until the 1970's used to be looked down upon by the English and the Americans. Prince Philip, the father of the current king, who was known for his equal opportunity racisim, once mocked scottish people as drunkards. Italians used to be regarded as lesser people than northern europeans, and Nazi Germany regarded people from Eastern Europe, much of France, southern Italians as subhumans. (Infact their plans for russians once they conquered them reads like something like the Rwandan genocide times twenty).

Asians..used to and are still discriminated against in Europe. Infact, in America, god help you if you drive a japanese car in some parts of Detroit...you are asking for it to be damaged and vandalized.

Even Africans discriminate against other races and tribes. Some African families would be upset if their child marries white. (One of our famous historical figures , Mazi Ibiam, married a yourba woman while studying in the UK. His older brother approved of the marriage, because he was happy that Mazi Ibiam did not pick a white woman. Honest.).

Nothing to do with blacks being the only ones.

If this sort of discrimination is widespread amongst societies, why does it appear like blacks are often complaining? Any particular reason?

Chienex24:
Mofos will still come here and support Iran

Iran is not Arab

Why do they often face racism? I guess that is the deeper question

They face same in Europe, Asia, the Americas etc.. what is the real problem we have not figured out?

Is it the color? But there are many black Arabs. there blacks in India and Asia etc. are these groups facing similars issues in their locality? Is it pronounced or subtle?

Is it the African stereotype?.. poor, uneducated, dirty,etc.

Is it the culture? But the black culture is diverse. There is no one particular culture that taints all that you can point to and say,”this is the source of the stigma.”


A social experiment:
If Dangote, a black Muslim, approaches this woman for marriage, will the family and friends discriminate against him, and call him names?

May be not. What do you think?

Antiislaam:
Are you trying o shift the goal post?

Bibi loves Christians but you can keep on crying

he denied the divinity of our Lord JESUS.
Core Christian doctrine holds that Jesus is the "Prince of Peace" and God incarnate, holding supreme moral and spiritual authority that cannot be compared to a secular conqueror like Genghis Khan.

How does such a man who commits this heresy be claimed to save Christians?

Skyborn:
Stop defending barbarism. Islam is giving you a condition to kill and you are rejoicing.

The old testament said. "Thou shall not kill"
The New testament said. " Love your neighbors as your self".

Now you can see the foundation of Islam is a faulty one. It glorifies killing and encourages revenge.

You mind reading the latest from Joe Kent: “Murica” worked with IS and co against Assad.
No wonder IS fights anyone that opposes “Murica.” Imagine IS fighting against Taliban, against Houthis…

muyico:
And no drone to detect them?

And they all thought America came to their Defence..with MQ drones and 200 soldiers. Colony loading.. occupation force on the ground. To fight Boko or watch over our Northern neighbors who kicked them out?

Oh… I forgot, they sold us Tucano jets to fight Boko… brainless twats!!!

AntiisIam:
You just have to stop crying

Doesn’t it irk you that he equated your Lord… our Lord Jesus, to a Mongolian Conqueror… mere mortal?

More so, he has given LGBT campaigners free rein over the children of Israel. May be he doesn’t give a damn about those CHRISTian principles that you hold dear. How does he then defend you Christians in Nigeria?

See the rainbow sign on an early childhood center. Catching them “Jays” young!

AntiisIam:
WE CHRISTIANS LOVE BIBI, WE LOVE ZIONISTS, WE LOVE THE JEWS. They are doing a great job sending terrorists back to allah

But he doesn’t love you Christian’s.

CyynthiaKiss:
This is absolute nonsense from the leftist media..

The fabrication against the nemesis of Islamic terrorists will never sell..

God bless Isreal..

I won’t be surprised if this thread gets to fp..

Video of this press conference is available online

God1000:
Muslims are good people, I will proudly & gladly admit it if I am a Muslim, there's nothing special about being a Christian, why should I tell lie about that

You might have to show this to your critics.

franchasofficia:
Forget, Israel is a country operating under the coverage of a supernatural power.


Why did I said this you may ask?


Since the 12 day war between Israel and Iran some months back, Israel have never lost a single war plane or fighter jet to Iran.


None of Israel's fighter jets have been shot down by Iran or Hezbollah or Hamas or Houthi terrorists despite the fact that Israel have completed more than 3,000 bombings and missions in Iran, etc using fighter jets.



If una like, take my words, if you like don't but one thing is for sure; Israel is a phenomenal nation operating under the coverage of an unseen supernatural power.

What supernatural powers? Why are you lot so often deluded? A man who disregards your JESUS… your LORD. In his press conference, Netanyahu says “JESUS has no advantage over the Mongolian warlord Ghenghis

Drsnives:
No shaken..
God is still on the throne and I know he won't forget his own

Let this statement by Netanyahu sink in. This MAN has absoluteLY no regard for your JESUS. For your LORD.

Dogalmighty17:
The Iranian president doesn't control the IRGC.

Bro, are you living in Nigeria? I am curious because you are well informed. I am excited to see there are still knowledgeable guys here, not the ignorant mobs. I don’t get to see a lot of well informed folks here on Nairaland.

They will always advertise meager success when other countries have so gone afar in major achievements.

And that’s what they feed you all… oh.. we are now successful.. we have built a road, is that success in 2026?

I hope many Nigerians will get the chance to see other nations outside Nigeria. you will be amazed how far backwards we are in terms of infrastructure.

https://www.palestinechronicle.com/iran-russia-and-china-hold-joint-military-drills-near-strait-of-hormuz/

Brother, this is a false report. There were no tripartite drills on the strait of Hormuz recently. The only drill involving Russia and China was the Naval drill in South Africa.

The recent drill was a solo drill conducted by Iran.

Why did so many guys on NL believe this story?

Does it mean many of the guys who come to comment on these related topics are just here to score point against Russia or the US, but not adamant followers of geopolitics?

Even the news source is dodgy.

giselle237:
Do you have travel history

Hi Giselle237. Is 40M a good bank balance for business visa?

sanyaolurilwan:
Lol, thanks for the answer, I've already secured my 10yrs visa and I'm currently in the UK as I type now.

Hi. I have a question regarding bank statements. Can I use the one downloaded from the banking app and the one printed in the banking hall?

giselle237

Yes to all.

Personal or company bank statement?

Postedtrade:
A tax clearance is good but not mandatory for a uk visitor visa, especially when the company is not trading in large volumes. However it may help in establishing that your company is genuine and tax compliant. Every other doc you mentioned will help your application

Thanks for the reply.

One more question, personal account statement or company account for business visa?

Why would anyone with IQ above room temperature listen to this man’s sermons or attend his church?
