We felt the ripple effects of the Arab Spring in Nigeria. The world felt it. Do you think it is going to get worse or better after adding Iran to the mix?

You're very smart

Thegoodone13:
USA and Israel don't make noise like Iran and Russia. Russia was boosting of Dom and it take Israel some months to Mann over it in Syria.

The US makes the most noise. Nigeria doesn't even make as much noise as they do. That's why every little thing that happens, they twist it to suit them, and to ganeer public sympathy and attention

otuekong1:
But Russian s300 couldn't prevent Israel from attacking weapon factories on Syria
FYI: USA is constantly financing inventions in Israel(Aerospace others)
Jericho lll comes to mind

Russian defences knew when the Israeli and US aircraft entered Syrian borders. They could've shot them down if they wanted to. The Russians knew that doing that would just lead to an escalation of the conflict, and so they let them. Also, it turned out that the Syrians had already evacuated that complex before the missiles hit, so that should tell you how early the Russians knew about it. One US commander said something like "they (the pilots flying the Israeli and US aircraft) knew they were being watched. I can't remember the exact words he used, but it's something like they knew the Syrians could've shot them down if they really wanted to

Ewedegubbler:
Russia owes USA a lot more than whatever the USA has done to them. Tell me how the Russians would have beaten the NAZIS if not for the USA. Germany was gonna clean both the USSR and Britain out if not for the intervention of the USA. D day comes to mind.. So I guess why Russia will even contemplate on taking on the USA in any conflict lest of all on the side of some desert dwelling primitive mullahs.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha. This thing you said about the US beating the Nazis is exactly what I was referring to. There's a saying that History is written by the victors. That's what happened in this case. Historically, the US won that war. Do you know why? It's because in the end, they were the only country that was left standing, and so they were the ones who wrote the history for that war.
The truth is that Russia fought a bulk of that war, and lost millions of soldiers. They fought Germany to a standstill and when Russia was almost attaining victory, they knew that if they relented, they would lose and Germany will just pull resources and continue the war and run over the whole world. Russia didn't have any other option than to ask the US for help. What the US did was to destroy the remaining German war machinery, and then claimed victory and it was like they did the bulk of the fighting.
The Russians lost almost their entire army, only for the US to come and claim victory. Russia has never forgotten this.
Come to think of it, it's a good reason why history must always be taught in schools. When you learn from history, you avoid mistakes.

Fraudulent statements from someone in a shithole

Hahahaha hahahaha....I accept I'm in a shithole, but my statements aren't false. The whole world has seen the US for what they really area and for all the lies they tell. Despite everything that BBC and CNN tells you, the US are not the to protect and to serve you. They're there to protect and serve their own interests. Iran may have their own internal squabbles, but they're United against a common enemy that is the US

blowjohn:
Bro, ur underestimating the US o.
These guys can be extremely secretive about warfare o.
From MK ultra to area 51 to so many other stuffs, ull be underestimating them at ur own peril.

Lolz. The truth is that we're in fact overestimating them. That's what they want. If you're afraid that I may have an AK-47, you won't attack me. We don't know, but all the western media have always been used by the US to project the US as very powerful. Russia developed the world's most powerful missile defence system and the whole world didn't know about it until it was deployed.

hotwax:
Mr oga, when it comes to naval capability which US is the Sole leader, Iran can't close anywhere sir. Or. U think strait of. Hormuz is a gate?

The US is the naval power to countries like Nigeria. In an all-out war, Russia will side with Iran. In this circumstance, the US naval power will be naught. The US uses their aircraft carriers to project their power across the world but Russia now has hypersonic carrier-buster missiles that'll easily take out the carriers

hotwax:
Trump started Libya war, Syria war, Yemen war...wait Google the word obama...

My dear muslim brother...Democrats are afraid to go to the Senate to present thier impeachment articles..it means democrats reps will also face questioning...and it may lead to indictments...

If u don't know about US politics, just shut up...Stop disgracing black people

Thank you for this. I read posts on this topic and I realise we're so ignorant. Most people in Nigeria get all their news on CNN and BBC, forgetting that these foreign media are just another way the US government spreads their propaganda

niaralandtopuser:
the middle East will suffer if there is any war. America will not allow the war to be fought in it own soil.

You're right on this. The US always likes taking wars to other countries. The East will suffer, but there'll be a ripple effect that'll also affect the US.
A full-blown war with Iran will be a terrible decision

OZAOEKPE:
The average citizen in Iran is tired of the regime, USA would make it easy to pull down that government

Totally false. The cohesion in Iran right now is at a very unprecedented level. Everybody now sees the US as the devil. Also, the US can't do anything to Iraq

toxicbrain:
If you knew US you wouldn't be saying all these. You know how technologically advanced those guys are? Lol. That stupid S400 defence system will be given out to college students as a project and it will be hacked in 7 days.

I know the US, I know Russia. The US is technically advanced but for the past 20 years they've been preoccupied with fighting unreasonable wars in different countries. Russia on the other hand has greatly improved their R & D. Once in a while, US' DARPA will show a new tech, but there's a big difference between a prototype and a battle-ready equipment. Do you know that the most advanced US fighter aircraft currently deployed, the F-35 is already obsolete, even before it's development was completed? Russia knows that the future of warfare isn't in the air, it's easy to take down aircraft. Russia has focused on submarines and missile tech, and they currently have the world's first hypersonic missile, and a range of missiles that can take out US aircraft carriers.
I'm not going to talk about the S400, read about it. Right now, the US has nothing as advanced as it is

Resurgent2016:
Iran can do nothing to the US, they are just lucky they met a president like Trump. Bush or Bush jnr will have made that country a parking lot by now. Saddam was a more sinister threat than Iran, US didn't even blink before clearing him out.

Even the likes of Russia and China don't threaten the US the way Iran does. Even Israel that possess just a fraction of US military strength will have dealt decisively with Iran if it had tried half of what they tried with trump.

In a war with Iran, the US has the military strength but the US will eventually be the losers. War isn't only about throwing bombs and shooting, a lot more are involved. The US took out Saddam but right now are they not the ones on the losing side? They were able to kill Saddam because they had the backing of the entire world when they claimed Saddam was stockpiling nuclear weapons, which was found to be totally untrue. Right now, which country is spending billions of tax-payers dollars annually to maintain their soldiers in these middle-eastern countries? The death of Saddam was one of the things that have terrorism its wings, and which country is the primary target of all terrorists? War isn't only about bombs and guns

hotwax:
Trump and putin r paddi paddi...lolz

Not at all. They're in good terms but not paddy. The only reason why Putin (allegedly) influenced the US election was to make sure Hillary Clinton doesn't win. Clinton is a well-known war monger and if she had won, she's very likely to throw the world into a world war. Putin knows this. Also, Russia and US has had a long history of animosity, dating back to the 2nd world war. What US did to Russia (claiming the victory after russian troops had done all the dirty work against the Nazis) and during the cold war, and a lot of other US backstabs have made Russia cautious.

DIKEnaWAR:
Will Iran give President Trump what he wants? I doubt.

Trump wants war with Iran. He knows a wartime President has a higher hopes of being reelected as fear and uncertainty bonds people with their responsive leaders. Just as George Bush jnr got reelected because of the 911 attack and consequent war and Obama was handed a reelection with his reaction to the hurricane that happened close to his reelection.

Iran is too much of a chicken hearted coward that thrive in noise making to enter into a war with America. The Ayatollah is biish who loves to cling to power and knows a war ith America will threaten his position. Nothing will happen from this. Infact, Iran might secretly seek to pacify America cos Ayatollah is peeing in his pants by now.

If you knew anything about international geopolitics, you wouldn't be saying this. War isn't just about arms and munitions. A war with Iran will backfire spectacularly on the US. All the middle East countries, with the exception of Saudi Arabia and Israel will support Iran. Terrorist attacks will also increase in the US due to sentimentality of the Hezbollah and ISIS sleeper cells in the US who will feel their motherland is being attacked. Also, Iran recently took delivery of Russian S400 missile defence systems and just 5 of these will be enough to protect the entire country against foreign aggression in the air. The systems are advanced enjoy to take out any and all US air platforms, including the so-called stealth aircrafts.
In all, the US will be then biggest losers

itsme01:





when US and christians kill Muslims its joy and celebration if muslim retaliates then its evil

Iran would blow up some US base thats for certain


..

This is between two countries. Don't try to make it religious. There are Muslims in the US, and Christians in Iran. Fact is that the US is totally wrong on this

ZombieTERROR:
Iran will do nothing

They are not even the size of two US states

It's not about size. Iran may not have the advantages that the US has, but they're allied to countries that are as strong as the US. They're allies with Russia

VicM6:
loolk at this fool, so u took ur worthless time just to write this long article to me.... u re daft jst like the pope. afonja werey

I took time to show you how silly you're making yourself look. Also, what concerns Afonja with this? BTW, I'm Igbo

VicM6:
yahoo yahoo pope

Why are you so bitter? If you feel you'll make a better pope, why don't you join a seminary school, spend the required number of years (around 10 years) and become a priest. Hopefully, in 50 years time you'll be chosen as a cardinal and you'll have a chance of becoming the pope, and then you make yourself the best pope ever in the history of the Catholic church.
If you can't do this, please do us a favour; squeeze your opinion and shove it up your as.s

OyinO:
NOT ONLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BUT ALL CHURCHES because they were all birthed by the Catholic Church of Rome called Roman Catholic.

I love this your response to him. We seem to have forgotten that salvation is an individual race

Here's the link. The OP simply used a sensational headline

midnighter:
Stop it! Stop trying to cover up just because hes the pope. There is enough hypocrisy in the church already.

This incident has been reported worldwide using the word SLAP because he clearly SLAPPED the womans hand. A tap is totally different from a slap.

He has already apologised and we have forgiven him. Call a spade a spade and stop trying to obfuscate issues just because you like the guy

And you clearly hate him which is why you're making this seem like he attacked the woman. Watch the video and judge for yourself. If it were your Daddy G.O, that woman wouldn't have even gotten the chance to get close to him, not to talk of touching him


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WySwhj2SwE Here's the link. You be the judge

oloriLFC:
All the people that thronged Jesus during His earthly ministry, the bible didn't tell us He slapped any of them. One even touched His garment and power came out of him but He didn't slap her

Stop making it seem like he slapped her on the face. She held him and he nearly fell. He slapped her hand twice so she'll let go of him

superior1:
Francis don turn embarrassment to those calling him Father

The lady dragged him and he nearly fell down. He's an old man. He slapped her hand twice so she'll let go of him. He publicly apologized. What more do you guys want?

All of them ...they will do Yahoo, fraud, Rob banks , kill themselves for money ...How many robbery have u heard in the north by northerners , they still want to move it Abuja our land, we will not take it, because that was how Fulanis were chase from the south, the bank robberies in Ekiti , Kwara, Ondo have claimed lives more casualties by herders , yet we are not hearing their voice against such robbery and killings... Southerners stop spoiling Nigerias name

you airheads just keep typing trash at any given opportunity. people supported buhari because they wanted him to deal with igbos? what kind of foolish thinking is that? so igbos supported atiku to deal with who? Always playing senseless politics. If thesame buhari rules till 2027, it it still airheads like you that will be crying marginalisation and blaming others for your foolishness.

Bro chill out. I think the guy who made that post was just being sarcastic

You're very smart. Most people don't understand what's really going on

ColonelEmeka:
They actually drove a bomb laden car into the building and did not enter to plant any bombs.

That was what happened. The fact is that they had a strong enough foothold in Abuja already to get bombs in, Enough comfort and peace to assemble it and rig it to a vehicle and drove freely straight for the building.

BH holds no LG in Borno

I gave you the link to the post, but you chose to ignore it. Here it is again https://www.nairaland.com/5599380/jennifer-ukambong-samuel-kidnapped-boko#85222327
They drove a bonb-laden car into the building. Same way anybody can drive a car. last time i checked it's not illegal to drive. If they want to do it again, they will. It'll even be easier for them, the government will just cover it up and claim it was a gas explosion. That's the only thing the current government dos, tell lies.
You need to learn to put your country first before party affiliations. If things are going bad, say it as it is. That's the only way we'll grow, don't be a sycophant, you're too big for that.

Jimi24:
There is a difference between Boko rampaging through territory and Boko Haram controlling territory.
Even in Lagos State, there are places very far from the reach of law enforcement but that does not mean that LASG is not in control of 100% of Lagos.

Boko Haram remains technically defeated but they can scurry around and still attack civilians and weakly defended military formations.

We need to properlybunderstand what is called an insurgency.

Totally wrong. Boko Haram is ramopaging and controlling territory. Your definition of "technically defeated" is culled from Lai Mohammed, who is the father of all lies. A weak Boko Haram should never have the resources to be in charge of territories in this country. Admit it, our government has failed woefully in their primary campaign promise. If i remember correctly, the current president said he'll end Boko Haram in 2 months if elected

ColonelEmeka:
So kidnapping one girl as a guerrilla group they have now been reduced to means they are still largely active?

Do you have any idea what it takes to fight terrorism?

Do you not remember that pre 2015 BH were already freely entering ABUJA? Do you know how far ABUJA is from BORNO yet they could gain access easily and very easily bombed the UN building there among other bombings?

So a once violent terrorist group being reduced to kidnappings means they are still active?

You have a very amazing mentality

Going by what our government keeps spewing out, everyone will think Boko Haram doesn't exist anymore. Also, there's a post in this thread where someone who works in Borno sais Boko Haram is still very active, and has even taken over a lot of LGAs in Borno. As for the Abuja bombing, don't get it twisted. 2 Boko Haram members can easily disguise and plant a bomb in the building. That's exactly what happened, you're making it sound like they came in large numbers into Abuja to bomb the buildings. The present government is hiding the truth. Accept it
