NIGERIA: TARGETED FOR DESTRUCTION? FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR – GORDON DUFF

https://defensenigeria./2021/05/11/nigeria-targeted-for-destruction-for-those-who-have-ears-to-hear-gordon-duff/

I just read it. Though this link is not active. The writer had a foresight. We are all sitting on a gun powder in Nigeria. Give or take it, there will be civil war in somewhere between 5 years and 10 years from now. I hope those who have plans to leave the country leave before then.

Do you know where Challenge is in Ibadan?

It's like bandits coming to abduct a single child in Iyana Ipaja in Lagos.

This woman was singled out.

Some people most likely want leverage on her or her husband or relative.

Challenge is close to Bushes. Challenge links to Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Challenge also links IjebuOde-Ibadan Expressway. Ibadan is the closest to Oyo in which this Bandit has been operating in Oyo for a while now. If there is a place stuff like Bandit will happen in Ibadan, Challenge and Ojoo side is where it is prone to happen.

I believe banditry in the North is inextricably linked to illegal mining. The the foreign miners provide weapons for protection and dislogement of locals so as their operations could be unhindered. Its not only the chinese ppl but lebanese and others you cant identify. They uses aircraft to supply weapons and carry the gold and other valueable stones back to their country. This is what what i heard my ppl saying.

That is exactly what is happening. The militias is only using the opportunity of the artillery they have to push their Islam agenda but it's the illegal miner that is sponsoring them. Once they want to mine a place they send locals away through attacks then the Chinese or Lebanese come in and do their thing.

letskeeptalking:
I've thought about it, and I think I just made a mistake in my choice. Not because I was stupid, but because I was targeted and manipulated. We courted for 2 years and you know how Christian courtship is. I was too impressed with his devotion to church that I neglected to ask the right questions. Plus you know the "God said" factor . . . But now I see clearly that he is who he is . . and the apple did not fall too far from the tree.

I don't think we've ever had a good marriage, even in the early days. But I endured, mainly because of Christian guilt. I don't think I would have ever considered leaving until I started seeing the impacts of his behavior on the kids. So when he said he would change, and I was told to "teach" him how to be a good father, I thought maybe I just needed to change the way I guided him and set expectations. But I was young too when we got married, with zero experience. So why am I the one teaching him? he's 7 years older than I am, and he's not even 50 yet.

Financially we contribute equally . . he doesn't teach the kids anything, doesn't even bother with them. And you are right, the "Prince" search didn't start until recently, because he just assumed I would keep having kids until we get one. But I stopped because I had to give myself sense. Aside from paying 50% of the bills, I do ALL the chores except when the kids help. I do all the childcare because he's NEVER home, and honestly it's easier to just do it that fight with him about it.

Whew . . I never really wanted to get into details here because I genuinely hate talking about these things . . plus I don't want to misrepresent the fact, because it's impossible to make sense of these issues in a chatroom.

PS: Just to add that I wasn't trying to hide my behavior or anything. I know I behaved badly, but only in reaction to his own behavior. I would give you an instance, but I don't want to shock you But nothing I did was unprovoked. So yes, while I may have gone overboard a couple of times, it was always for a reason!

You know you made him change. It was when you stopped refusing sex he changed and you know that pretty well.

ernieboy:
so the same risks and pitfalls that affect forex traders also affect crypto traders.

Not at all. There is something called. Volatility and Volume which is not the same. Forex is predictable as big boys and interbank decide market movement. Crypto is basically Volume and very volatile. If you trading currency pair, there is limit to how market can move per day as if a currency is driving low, govt policy will put intervention in place. Crypto is not regulated by the government so it can go from 120k to 10k in a week, it move back to 110k tomorrow. A big player can liquidate and drive crypto downward.

In lame man

Forex = Currency pair = Currency of a nation against currency of another nation.

Cryptocurrency= Crypto against currency of another nation

ernieboy:
but they are both based on speculating future price movements

Yes. You speculate movement by analysing.

QuinQQ:
Their multinationals would move in and before you know it no more the cheap labour we currently enjoy!

Cheap labour. US companies will pay better. You think US will be paying factory worker 5k per day? People will know how real works are.They are welcome.

codemaniacs:
The masses stand to lose the current houses they are living in,

The masses stand to lose the food they eat

The masses stand to lose the water they drink

The masses stand to lose the beds they sleep on

The masses stand to lose the cars they drive

The masses stand to lose their own lives

The masses stand to lose their loved ones

The masses stand to lose their schools

The masses stand to lose their jobs

The masses stand to lose their freedom

The masses stand to lose their peace.

I'm sorry to say. You sounded dinngbatt. If Nigeria were run by the USA, do you think there would be cheap labour? US companies pay better. What have you not lost already and what difference does it make? I'm sure you are either a govt worker or under a political pay role. Enemies of progress.

ernieboy:
oga it is essentially the same thing, the difference is that in crypto you trade on cryptocurrency. In both you are speculating on whether a particular currency will go up or down.

Exness different types of instrument on Metatrader for you that thinks Forex is same as crypto.

Forex is different from Crypto, don't say this on Forexfactory. People will think you are clowning or trolling. Forex is currency pair, that's all.

ernieboy:
Ais crypto not the same as forex?

Forex is foreign exchange. Trading different currency against each other. Crypto is just crypto (Bitcoin etc). Forex trades only on Monday - Friday while Crypto trade 247.

Chechelenche:
I’ve come across numerous blogs and social media posts where people flaunt wealth—exotic cars, luxury homes, and frequent vacations—and claim it’s all from trading forex.

I’m interested in getting into forex trading, but honestly, I’m quite skeptical. Are these claims actually verified?

Most people I’ve spoken to in real life seem to have stories of losses rather than consistent profits from trading, and this has made me very cautious.
I’d appreciate it if experienced traders or knowledgeable members here could share honest insights.

Is forex trading genuinely profitable in the long run, or are most of these online displays exaggerated or misleading?

I'm a full-time trader but you will lose money when you start. Unless you are patient. You can start with a demo or cent account first. Now my story is different.

Biodun556:
The so called fighter jets are now falling off the career

This is so funny. Did they loose all the fighter jet to the fall?

Biodun556:
US flotilla of war ships is about 20 or less with about 7,500 officers. These ships are sophisticated but how can they survive Iran over 300 boat missiles, warships, 2 submarines and under water mines .

Iran use of smaller ships is strategic. The boat missiles compromised of only two or three officers which will definitely reduce casualties but once a US war ship sinks, 100s of naval officers are sure to be affected all at once.

I believe Iran will survive US aggression and pull a big surprise.

Picture of Iran missile boats

You are not well informed. US Carrier has more than dozen of Fighter jets. Mind you those jets are buffed and they are designed to stay in the sky stealthily before they are given orders. They didn't call it Abraham Lincoln for nothing. Abraham Lincoln is not just a battleship but what it is bringing, Topedos, fighter jets etc. And mind you I don't believe Trump, submarine too might be there but that didn't make the news.

He might be lied on. I don't judge on this kind of stories until I hear from all party.

HacheNoire:
You also still also fell for the propaganda. They told you Iran is a terrorist nation but cohabit with Christians and Jews?

Do you we have over 2000 indigenous Jews in Iran? I mean real Jews and not fake the fake European Jews in Israel.

Do you know same Jews in Iran are represented in the government?

They tell you it oppresses its people but same Iran with all the sanctions has a better standard of living than Nigeria?

You see, try to always use your own mind to reason. Forget the western propaganda they sell to you.

Ask yourself, what is Iran standing for to be labeled a terrorist nation. Will you also called Nelson Mandela and Idi Amin a terrorist?

They replay same tactic to you and you always fall it. Demonize their target to justify their evils.

The CIA investigation confirmed September 11 was sponsored from Saudi Arabia, did a bomb drop in Saudi Arabia in the hunt for the sponsors? Don’t follow the narration they tell you. Common sense and sincerity will guide you.

Saudi Arabia/UAE at war with Iran using proxy Isreal and USA in return continue with Petrodollar, selling their petrol in Dollar instead of their indigenous currency. Isreal is helping Saudi (Sunni) deal with Iran (Shia) with millitary might while USA is helping Saudi deal with Iran economically with sanctions. When you hear USA say Islamic Terrorist, they meant Iran (Shia). Another term you see them use is Extremist instead of Islamic terrorist (Shia).

Europe is not equipping Russia.

Russia produces their own military equipment that even many European countries and India buys.

Let see how it plays out. You will see in the coming weeks that Ukraine-Russia war just began except US/NATO stops helping Ukraine with drones which Trump has been trying to stop. Right now Russia are getting hit badly with killer cheap drones that is been supplied in heavy amounts to Ukraine. Russia is been stressed out before now but with this tides will change and Russia advancing might increase. Interesting times ahead.

Think about it, Russia is been sanctioned and India is the strongest Russia BRICS partner after China. Infact Russia, China and India is Brics then maybe Iran which Iran is been exploited by other members because of their rich resources and Iran's desperation for friendly ally.

BarrElChapo:
Trump really wants to end the Ukraine war. Think about it, he is willing to give Putin all the praise and adulation required to get him to back down in a war that the US has nothing to lose. I pray he succeeds. God bless Pres. D.J Trump !

The EU are not smart. Russia cut deal with India and then Russia sends unrefined fuel to India, India refine it and sells to Europe, Europe buys from India. Europe are equipping Russia to continue the war in Ukraine. Just pray it's not too late till they realise it.

FalseProphet1:
Patience friend. By next month you'll be shocked.

Okay. Hopefully I will do much like to watch Nigeria in the World Cup.

Take him or her to go and paintball. Search on paintball. There is like 2 in Lagos, 1 at Ibadan. Take him or her to UI Zoo and Agodi Garden at Ibadan. You can take him or her also to Ogudu Cattle Ranch at Calabar. Only Ogudu Cattle Ranch can tear your pocket. Others are insanely cheap.

You can also go see current American movies at the Cinema if she likes watching movie.

FalseProphet1:
I see FIFA's clarification on Nigeria being announced by next month. I see Nigeria going to the world cup.

This I have seen.

Is it possible for Nigeria to still go? How?

Tgini:
microplastics exposure is linked to cancer, heart attacks, reproductive problems and a host of other problems. That pure water is the major source of micro plastic absorption into our body here in nigeria. look at the rate at which people are having cancer and heart disease in nigeria yet you want the government to encourage it . The drainage systems in nigeria are filled with pure water nylon and na citizens throw am for there , but when rain start and everywhere gets flooded you all will blame the government.

Hear yourself talk and spit saliva like a faucet.

1. Do you know how many Nigerians are in the sashet water business?

2. Do you know how many Nigerians are employed through the sashet water business.

3. Do you know how much Sashet water as reduced cholera, and many water borne illnesses ravaging your state of origin since it became the fastest source of clean water.

4. Where do you want people to get clean source of water or did you think it's everyone that has borehole at home.

Talk like a human with empathy next time dingbat.

BarrElChapo:
What do you mean? You will be naive to think that his marriage has been a bed of roses because he says he loves his wife even more, that’s love there.

You using betrayal as a test of love is funny.

I said that because he made it look like he has a perfect marriage with no challenges. Before a man or a woman marries, he or she must accept that anything can happen so that when it finally happens, you won't be surprised or kill yourself. You just smile and move on with your pieces. OP has learnt his lesson, next time he knows better.

Kobicove:
He will never be governor of Oyo State with this type of mindset

He was not informed. The new Oyo State love literates and scholars. He should ask how APC lost woefully to Seyi.

ogaontop:
Most of Chinese senior military officers are against the inversion of Taiwan, and Xi is not finding it funny because that's his ultimate aim. The US is his only hindrance; inasmuch as China is booming economically, interms of military power and might, they're still much behind America.
Which other country in the world can sustain fighting different wars at the same time? Both directly and in proxy??

Taiwan is the top notch country in terms of technology. most gadget, drone and machine chips are made from Taiwan only coupled in USA. if China can annex Taiwan, China will become the best country in term of tech. Its nad business for USA as Taiwan is one of tjeir puppet like Japan. Mind you Taiwan makes USA easily spy on China. Its in China interest to take Taiwan diplomatically or by force, if they are using by force, they have to win with no casualty at the other side if not it will defeat the major reason China wants back the unification.

Trap, she want guys that will pity and summon her for sex. At least she wants to have sex if no marriage. Don't fall for it.

Berankis:
He is young and naive. Besides, it's good to taste 'true love', the heart needs it but the same heart will be pained when the love is broken. But at least, it's better experienced than never.
Don't be scared to love or trust but don't be too foolish to lose yourself in the process. I don't like single mothers (with the exception of widows), I am so sorry! Just like I don't like slay queens cos I don't fancy high-maintenance girls.
I know the kind of girls I like and I got married to one. And ever since I have curbed my penchants for ladies. I can admire briefly occasionally.
Life is life and love is life.
I loved my wife when I met her, I love her more now for the beautiful kids she has given me. I wish I was richer to make all her dreams come true but I guess not all dreams are meant to come true...

You can't say you love if you haven't been truly tested. Will you still love her if you discovered those kids ain't yours?

Well 30 + 15 = 45
13 + 15 = 28

You should have tutor the little girl and watch her grow, and make sure the girl doesn't go astray, it's not bad if a 45yrs old marry a 28yrs old. I'm sure the mother would have accepted. Next time just be friend with the mother and focus on taking care of the child. Single mothers is a no go area.

olowofariwo:
they even hates their fellow Muslim countries(Saudi Arabia, uae)

Yes. They tilt towards Shia than Sunni. Iraninans sees Saudi and UAE like their dream country to reside and they also see how this countries are prospering despite the fact that Iran should be doing better with diverse resources.

AlphaTaikun:
Hey! YOU MUST learn to digest posts properly and be civil in your responses to other people's online posts instead of just barging into posts WITHOUT understanding things contextually. If something is beyond your understanding, then you stay off! I personally have many decades of knowledge in global geopolitical dynamics and world history.

I know FULL WELL that Iran has used Russian and Chinese technologies in the past and they have even improved on these technologies with their own home-grown solutions. You know absolutely NOTHING about Iran if you are saying they do NOT have their own home-grown civil and Military technologies. Despite that, I CLEARLY stated my full support for the removal of these insidious Shiite clerics. Is that too difficult for you to understand? Period.

Why overinflate their capabilities. Before Isreal - Iran short war. Y'all will compare Iran capability with US. US took over their airspace shooting down targets for several hours and nothing happened. The only thing difference about Iran and a dummy millitary state is that Iran has lots of minerals needed in techs and countries like Russia and Chinese is willing to make a deal in exchange for millitary gadget. What's the point in having a missile where it can't be properly guarded. If it's about making Bombs, The Talibans too make bombs and rocket. Most of the rocket Iran supplied Hezbollah which they used during October 7 attacks are not guarded. Take your time to watch Ukrainian battle kills. Their Missiles is well equipped that they can guard it to hit exactly where it intended. Iran technology is outdated and they are using Russian outdated stockpile. They will do nothing if US bombard them and mind you if they attack all this ally State like Jordan etc, you will be surprised that even with the Greenland talks, European countries will chip in and Iran will be another Iraq and if Iran attacks US directly, trust me US have a lots of patriot that will put in their name to fight, how many patriot can Iran boast of if there is an all out war?

AlphaTaikun:
NO doubt Iran currently has some of the most advanced weapons ever seen in the history of mankind leading to the so-called "Iron Dome" being breached and Israel nearly obliterated, but the United States has some other advanced weapons that are NOT conventional or in use by other countries and these would be used in a best case scenario. I want the Iranian people from the land of Emperor Cyrus the Great of the Persian Empire (the Shah han Shah or King of Kings) to be free again since the so-called 1979 revolution which ousted the then "Shah" of Iran who had very cordial ties with the State of Israel and the United States.

Iranians at home and the large Iranian Diaspora are VERY brilliant people. They are simply tired of the repressive Shiite clerics in Iran. Did you know that the globally recognized CNN journalist, Christiane Amanpour is an Iranian woman with British citizenship? The Iranian Diaspora are everywhere doing fantastic things and would be greater when a peaceful Iran is achieved.

What the hell are you saying. It's Russian Technology and it's Russia who is helping Iran develop Nuclear weapon working with Iranian scientist because Iran is rich in Uranium I mean a whole lots of it which Russia also needs a whole lot of it. Stop giving them credit for what they didn't do. Iran makes Drones which they provide Russia now. The Ukrainian with Russia is now "War of Drones". The two sides rely now heavily on drones.
