Recall the Iranian Kharg -the largest Iranian navy ship sank in the gulf after a blaze. Many analyst fingered Israel in this incident.

On July 3, an Israeli-owned cargo ship came under attack while sailing in the northern Indian ocean, according to the al-Mayadin TV.

A source with knowledge on the incident told the Beirut-based channel that a “fire broke out at the ship,” adding that the vessel was targeted with an “unidentified weapon.”

“The Israeli ship was anchored in the [Saudi] port of Jeddah, before moving towards the coast of the Emirates,” the source said.
Israeli officials confirmed al-Mayadin’s report without providing any addition information on the incident. The ship in question is yet to be identified.

Al-Mayadin’s source linked the attack to a sabotage attempt that targeted a building of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) in Karaj city, 40 km to the west of the capital Tehran, on June 23. The attempt was thwarted by Iranian security forces. The Israel intelligence was likely behind the incident.

Israel and Iran have been locked up in covert war for years. A recent report by the Wall Street Journal revealed that the Israeli intelligence targeted over a dozen Iranian vessels bound for Syria in the last two years. Most of the targeted vessels were carrying oil.

This year, Tel Aviv escalated its covert operations against Iran. On April 11, an act of sabotage plotted by the Israeli intelligence hit Iran’s main uranium enrichment plant.

Judging from the photos released by AMAQ, you can see that they (ISIS) often ambush our heavily-mobile troops in their base.

We fight as if we are fighting a nation state.. attack, seize territories, setup base, then advance again. The M.O. won’t work on ISIS. These guys don’t have the numbers to hold on to large expanse of the Sahel. Rather they launch ambush attack on N.A. Forcing a retreat. Every retreat is a victory for them because it aids their info war on Nigeria. And also such victories and the trophies garnered from it helps them to swell their ranks with new recruits

We need a rethink of this war approach

Look at how the Turks helped Azerbaijan to destroy armenian heavy artillery pieces during the short war. They overwhelmed Armenia with Turkish suicide drones. It was a tsunami of drones. Armenia had to concede defeat.

With the help of Iran, the Houthis have gain much of drone warfare and technology. Saudi and American air power have not been able to defeat them in Yemen. Saudis have employed advanced American avionics into this war, but they Houthis have taken the war into the heart of Saudi.

Why can’t we employ drones... they flying machines can stay up for over 24hrs monitoring any enemy advancement. And they are not as costly as the L39 trainer planes we are currently using in the Northeast

My question is, why aren’t we using combat drones in this war? We are fighting heavy with battle tanks and heavy artillery pieces, while these guys are fighting light on bikes. They are dictating the theater of conflict. Quick attack and retreat by ISIS with elements of surprise for the Nigerian army. Meanwhile we go in heavy with Long logistical resupply chain that makes any advance into the enemy territory difficult to maintain. Those heavy Armour are useless if you can refuel them and they guzzle up a lot of fuel.

I reckon we could adopt the Houthis approach to the Yemeni war. They fight light and they take the war to the enemy. They use more drones to both survey the enemy location, attack suicide drones when possible and also watch their retreat for R&R. The ISIS fighters are human, and they often return to base for R&R. Get them at their base.. hit em hard.

Burned villages

Seized weapons

The situation in Borno appears to be getting worse. ISIS cells ambushed two Nigerian military convoys in Borno recently.

The first convoy was ambushed on a road linking the villages of Cutmbi and Bulingua on June 27. Two Nigerian service members were killed. The second convoy was ambushed on a road between the villages of Bulka and Bama on June 28. The terrorists seized five motorcycles after killed or injuring some Nigerian service members.

In a recent report summarizing its recent operations in Africa, ISIS claimed that its cells had killed 16 service members and civilians in Nigeria last June.

Other photos show intense clashes around the military camp, the dead bodies of some of the Nigerian soldiers killed in the attack as well as some weapons and ammunition which were seized by ISIS terrorists.

On July 2, ISIS news agency, Amaq, shared photos from a recent attack that targeted a military camp in the town of Bula Yobe in the northeastern Nigerian state of Borno.

The terrorists stormed the camp on June 27 following heavy clashes with the Nigerian Armed Forces (NAF). According to Amaq, eight soldiers were killed during the attack. A 4×4 vehicle was also destroyed by ISIS fighters.

One of the photos shared by Amaq shows an L-39 Albatros jet trainer of the Nigerian Air Force providing NAF troops with close air support during the attack.

Casham:
Well I've never been to the South. I shouldn't be judging. We will be better together. Lets work things out. Lets stop the hate. We are one whether we accept it or not. The world sees us all as Negroes, Blacks, Africans. We can not run away from that.

Hi Casham, I like the way you engage in conversation with the folks here. You are so polite... quite commendable. Keep it up.

Anago55:
This man talks like a typical Nigerian cum APC politicians

More talk less action

I would say he(Putin) acts more than he says. In so many theaters that he has intervened, he was quite decisive in his action. Look at Syria, literarily halted the western regime change efforts in that country.

When the west ravaged Ukraine with maidan, he act beyond expectation with the seizure of Crimea, Donbass region. Look at his exploits in Georgia, Moldova etc.

I read his last phone-in interview transcript. I would say this guy is by far better than the western presidents that speak from both side of the mouth. He appears truthful and determined in his pursuit to make Russia a self-sufficient nation

I think they have done great for their nation, by lifting many people out of poverty in a few decades. Deng Xiaoping was indeed the man that inspired the free zones experiment in Shenzhen and other big cities.

One good point of about china’s rise is the fact that they have made basic to mid-level technology available for developing countries like Nigeria. We don’t need to invent the wheel any more, we and many other developing countries could start industries with the Chinese supply chain. But sadly many countries like Nigeria have failed to tap into this opportunity.

When the west had this technology, it was very expensive and inaccessible for many developing nations like Nigeria. A good exemplar is Power Generator, back then it was not available nor affordable.

So, a few weeks ago when Nnamdi Kanu was making a live broadcast there was sudden sound of torrential downpour of rain with heavy thunder and it was a big surprise to me. I was surprised that no one talked about it , or maybe they wondered but kept quiet. I say this because if you have been to, or lived in the UK you know exactly how the rain sounds especially in England. It can be heavy at times but nothing like in West Africa. I just knew something was not right, and I suspected he was in West Africa but no proof. So, Nnamdi Kanu paused his speech to close the Windows and resume his speech as the downpour was quite loud. I will try and look for that video and post the clips.

Now, he also said he was going to be at the front leading ESN on the ground and many people jeered, laughed and mocked him, but I told them that they were wrong and had underestimated his bravery.

This is what I suggest happened and how he was kidnapped ( not arrested )

1. He was somewhere in Ambazonia plotting, planning , training and scheming for the next move
2. If you had noticed, his subsequent speeches were not as frequent or as clear, perhaps due to reception in the area
3. His location and purpose was leaked by intelligence through an act of betrayal. We will find out the source in the future.
4. He had either completed his mission and was travelling back to the UK or visiting another African country
5. He was betrayed, intercepted, drugged and bundled from an aeroplane ( if you notice the photos , he was dazed and tired and that’s because he was injected with drugs, just like they did to the PA of Barrister Ejiofor before killing him ).

We will find out more information in the coming days and his wife will no doubt reveal more information.

I laugh at those who are rejoicing - go and learn and weep, his arrest is not good news .

Nigeria is at crossroads.

I told myself Kalu was not arrested in Europe or North America. He must have been arrested in a country with lax rules and regulation, a padi-padi country where they can close an eye and let Nigerian government fly him out on a private jet WITHOUT due extradition process.

Neighboring countries to Nigeria seem plausible, and someone he trusted must have lured him to that country.

The Cameroon angle is very much plausible. Easy to meet his men without crossing into Nigeria.

Another place is Turkey. Remember the case of Nissan former boss and how he was whisked from Turkey in a private jet to Lebanon.

UAE looks a bit safe for a government critic, but it is also possible to do a rendition in UAE.Rwanda lured a vocal critic (Paul Rusesabagina) to UAE and bundled him on a private jet to Kigali.

Why bother bringing him home?

Why bother bringing him home ?
He was far away... farther from his people
There,far away, he had only twitter as a voice
Though quite vocal, but we here couldn’t hear him.
Many like me weren’t following
Those who followed, couldn’t hear him.
You already banned twitter.

Why bother bringing him home
Where the people will read tribalism in this act:
You brought this one home for justice
But you left the other one to roam the Sahel

Why bother bringing him home
To walk the path of so many great leaders
Leaders who went from agitation to prison
And finally to become an Oracle
whose voice many heed

Why bother bringing him home
When you can leave this issue to the next man
In less than 2 years, you can pass the buck
We all get caught in the electioneering and forget about him.

When bother bringing him home
When you know his death makes him a martyr.
His jailing makes him a political force
A force that can’t be rivaled in his region

Why bother bringing him home
Who advised you to do this?
Remember those by your side only tell you what you want to hear.
They never say what you “need” to hear.

Why bother bringing him home
Now that he’s home... many will hear his voice
You have brought home an Oracle

Forget about that narrative that says Ukraine hasn't met certain requirements. NATO in its annual summit in Bucharest in 2008 have concluded the plans to bring Georgia and Ukraine into the alliance but the result of that plan was Russia's invasion of Georgia. That invasion alone derailed Georgia and Ukraine's membership process. Moldova another country planning to join NATO is finding it difficult because Russia has troops stationed in Transnistria, Moldova.



NATO understands what Russia can do if they take any further step to expand towards Russia so they are trying to avoid any confrontation with Russia. It doesn't worth it going toe to toe with Russia over some countries that don't have much significance to NATO.

Russian method is called “ getting a foot in door.” In all those satellite states angling to join NATO, a Ethnic Russiana there have set- up break-away regions in them: Donbass, transnistria, Abkhazia, etc.

emae009:
Guy!!! you too dey rant. You go jump issue go the talk about another thing.
Ukraine is just an ally of NATO not a member, they don't have a binding defense agreement with US or NATO.
Selling war to Congress is something that's very hard to do. The longer the Vietnam War dragged on, it was no longer supported back home hence why US pulled out.
What happened when US itself was attacked (pearl Harbor, 9/11).
When Iran bombed US bunker in Iraq and Trump threatened to go to war, what was Polesi reply to Trump? "Congress will not fund your war". And that my friend is the biggest difference between the West and the East.
If China wants to go to war now, they just up and go and are not accountable to the public same with Russia.
In America, you have to sell the merits of that war to Congress and if your party isn't majority, that's another story.
Attack US and unite the different ideologies and you won't like her reply

Have you heard of “manufactured consent”? Remember Colin Powell selling you “powder” in a vile as Iraqi WMD?

If the deep state and MIC want war, they will manufacture public consent for that war.. a la False flag

emae009:
Ukraine should just become a member of NATO and all these aggressive behavior will cease to exist.
Ukraine with a US-led NATO military base.

Russia would never want to see that happen though

If, I mean a big “if”, UKraine gets admitted into NATO, then the Donbass region will become sovereign states or a union with the Russian federation.

Emu4life:
The Black people thinks the Westerners love them. You really think they do, huh?
France is the greatest sponsors and financiers of Terrorism in Africa but the Hypocritical West will turn a blind eye and continue their campaign of mass calumny against countries that doesn't share the same ideology with them.
The heartbreaking thing is that the blacks have no brains of their own, they just swallow whatever the western media brings hook, line and sinker.
Libya used to have the best standard of living in the Middle East and Africa until the West decided they "LOVE" the people of Libya so much.
Today, Libya has no government, rebels everywhere, suffering and senseless killings but the West that once claimed to "LOVE" libya have withdrawn. The ripple effect is the infiltration of these terrorists and mercenaries into other parts of Africa and of course Nigeria.
Do you still have to be reminded during the early discovery of the COVID vaccine, the westerners in thier various media houses postulated the Vaccine should be tested in Africa because they consider us Guinea pigs.

THE SO CALLED HUMANITARIAN AIDES BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IS WHY TERRORISM IS STILL ONGOING IN BORNO AND THE NORTH EAST and they are trying really hard to spread it to other parts of the country but they will fail.

Nice! Spread the word, some of the local and international NGOs work for the deep state. They are often a medium of regime change and engineered consent in partnership with their media.

If you ever get the chance to read the western psyops in Lebanon, Belarus, Ukraine, Venezuela and Russia, you will find out how these NGOs and reporters are used by British F.O, NED, USAID et al to support “activists” for a electioneering and possible regime change.

Then again, it is possible that the NGO is the story we’re training their personnels or the locals for self defense and how to use fire arms. Well, not a bad idea considering the level of insecurity in the state

Here’s a different context to judge your bias:

Consider this scenario, a Syrian vessel going inside 12 miles off the coast of Gaza on an innocent passage--the Zionists (Israel) and their American masters, after sinking it, would scream that they have the right of self-defense.

Would you accept Israel’s claim of self-defence?

SARSCoV2:
Israel okay what? It's the poorest nation in that region. Remove US taxpayers money from Israel and Iran will stroll over them. What's makes Israel? What does Israel have to make an economy?

Russia is another broke nation. Only Nuclear power it can boast of, this are broke countries making noise. If Nigeria jus has 10nnuclear war heads too, we will boast in hunger. Russia that can't even afford to fund navy and combatants to high level sophistication.

It's just the nuclear war head!

Oga... Wikipedia could help teach you about the state of Russian economy and the status of russian weaponry. Only Russian presently has a hypersonic offensive weapon. USA is playing catch up.

Russian is a formidable force in Defence and economics. And that’s the reason US has tagged this nation the number 1 threat to its’s hegemonic hold on the rest of the world. Recently the Russians have begun dumping the US dollars ... reducing their reserve holds in USD. They have built a SWIFT alternative and setup a payment system outside visa and MasterCard. Poorer nations would not try dumping the US dollars without the risk of civil war or a regime change.

timesup234:
Shut up your mouth. make slave kill all of una. america wey taliban who fought with wheel barrow and camel dey use catch cruise naim you won compare to almighty Russia. You are a donkey, you and all other brainwashed camel

I think you forgot to tell him that USA is pulling out of Afghan theatre, leaving the terrorist as the call them (Talibans) to overrun the country after a decade of unsuccessful attempt to vanquish Talibans.

By the way, it’s uncouth to say “shut up” to someone you are having a discussion with. There are difference in views and opinion. Learn to accept it if his view differs from yours.

Bluntguy:
With the US fighter jets on board the British carrier Putin no get that kind liver. In fact he should brace up for Ukraine joining NATO. Crimea may be ground for the next world war.
Infact, wey that pastor Righteousness sef, make him come tell us how the world go take bring the world to an end.

No US jet on this vessel. In fact the vessel type is not a carrier, and does not have a jet on it; only 1 or 2 helicopters

Without clothes.. they look horrible!!

TRENDING[/quote]This is absolute nonsense. I think you should do a better reading of the history of some of these men listed. Copying what the west projects of these men is absolute wrong.

Mao fought against Japanese colonialist, so as Kim ill sung. And he wanted to unify the Korean peninsular after the Americans and the Russians divided the country. Remember prior to the Second World War., this region was held by the Japanese.

Khomeini should not be on this list in anyway. The people wanted him back from exile. The Americans and the brits overthrow the elected government and installed the Shah, who was just a puppet for the west. He gave them the leverage to the oil wells of Iran. The people fought against this indirect rule. The shah ran away. The remaining Americans were holed up at the embassy. Khomeini returned !

Looking back at Iraq after the western invasion and the current madness, a peaceful life under Saddam is far better. Many were not into politics, and life was good. Now the western proxies -AlNusra, HTS, Etc.. are reigning hell on the stretch from Syria to Iraq.

Why don’t you include the western leaders who have brought so much destruction to humanity.
Look at Libya now... you’d wish Gaddafi were alive. Imagine they engineered a civil war against a country just because they hate Gaddafi. But the people had a good life despite Gaddafi “un-Democratic rule”.

Look at Yemen... the west and the Saudi are slaughtering the people

Syria is another case of engineered civil war so as the have a pliable leader in place all at the behest of Israel.

They are about turning their war machines on China because China does not want to work on their terms, the so called rule-based order.

Looking at modern history, a lot more men that should make this list. At least we are witnessing this history. We don’t need CNN or wiki to tell us who did what. We can see it with our eyes.:
The apartheid in palestine
The slaughter in Yemeni
The strangling of Venezuela
The bloodletting in Syria
The starvation of Koreans
The blockade of Cuba

And the list goes on

I wonder Why these conmen spend so much energy using sugar to make fake honey and adding a few dead bees to it? I guess they could use that zeal to setup a bee farm..

I bought a small jar from one dude who claims it was original honey from North.

Decided to put it to test. Placed the jar of honey in a freezer to see if it will crystallize . 1 hours later, it still same! It’s sugar not honey!

I guess you are better off buying your honey from supermarkets than these shady dudes hawking sugar with a few dead bees in ‘em

Righteousness2:
BABA GOD has so many weapons he used to fight and Cripple stubborn people and Nations.

BABA used lice, darkness, grasshopper, frog, hail , Death of First born of Humans and Cattle etc to Shutdown Pharoah and Egypt of old.

BABA turned Nebuchadnezzar to an animal and sent him to the bush to eat grass when he became proud.

BABA sent Korah, Dathan and Abiram and all connected directly to them alive to Hell when they Challenged Moses.

When His own people Isreal became stubborn, BABA sent snakes to bite them.
At other times he sends people to Deal with them.

This Iran Ship was Wahala is Clearly BABA GOD'S Handwork. Iran leadership has been barking too much especially on BABA GOD'S First Born, Israel.

Iran leadership should remove their hands From Israel. If not it would consume them.

It's not the first or tenth time Iran is of having Mysterious things like this. The more they are stubborn, BABA throws one thing into them.

Let's Fear GOD.

What the heck are you saying? Geopolitics is not your forte, please stick to church matters.

Quite a number of ships burn each year? Many more capsize with innocents souls crossing the sea to get to Europe. Your “god” forgot them?

More than 60 “innocent” kids were killed during Israeli bombardment of Gaza.. did you ever criticize this manner of brutality? Is your so called “god” partial in judgement?

Meninmen:
Please read before commenting. It will help you alot. This argument is about the US. It's not about France or Turkey.

The only of your post that seems to relate to the US is the first paragraph of your comment. Please, which country diverted a plane to Canada to make arrest? If you are talking about Meng Wanzhou, the Chief financial officer of Huawei, then please be informed that her aircraft was not diverted. She frequently visits Canada and have family members in Canada. It was on her routine visit to Canada that she was detained. Her aircraft was not diverted to Canada.

You will need to provide evidence that it was the US that asked Italy, Spain, Portugal and France to close their airspace to the Bolivian's president plane.

In 2010 the U.S. wanted to arrest a man who was on a flight from France to Mexico. On U.S. instigation the plane was diverted to Canada where the man was arrested and later transferred to the U.S.

Meninmen:
When has the US scrambled a fighter jet to meet a commercial airline already airborne, forcing it to land by giving a false bomb alert so as to arrest someone in the airplane?


Una go just open mouth waaaa like illiterates.

And for your information, the US doesn't have to make a false bomb alert to catch. There are only few countries in this world that can protect you from reach of the US.

Which is worse,
Forceful diversion of an aircraft to Canada to make arrest?
Closure of all airspace to an airborne plane carrying a president (Bolivian president) and forcing the plane to land to search and make arrest?

In 1957 French authorities diverted a Morocco-Spain Air Maroc flight to Algiers. Algerian independence leader Ahmed Ben Bella (based in MA) was on board. Air Maroc was mostly French-owned. ABB was jailed in Algiers but became the first President of Algeria 5 years later.

In 2012 Turkey forced down a Syrian passenger plane flying from Moscow to Damascus to search it for weapons. None were found.

AbdulHakeem44:
US and their allies will call it security measures whereas they are harassing their opponent but it is tyranny if done by their enemy.

Till date I still don't know the offence of Gaddafi, Libya hope you are enjoying your democratic government??

I hope you can spread the word and encourage more folks here to read alt media. CNN, BBC REUTERS NYT ARE A BRAINWASH!
