What has Nigerian govt got to do with any of this?

Botragelad:
You're actually supporting an Islamic government in Iran that kills its own people just for protesting and demanding a better life.
That same government has used terrorism for many years and beats or punishes women who refuse to wear the hijab.
Is that really the kind of system you want for Nigeria?
You're being two-faced.

How can you defend Iran's government and act like you don't see the suffering of its people,
while at the same time criticizing the Nigerian government for doing similar bad things?
A lot of you just seem confused.

Why do you think the west wants theirs?

almarthins:
The same people who not let any thing Christian stand, who sees you as an infidel. I don't wish them death but there is consequence for every evil action.

They wanted nuclear weapon not for peace, but for the sole aim to make war and to subjugate.

For those of you mocking Iran's supreme leader, remember how this same america murdered so many African revolutionaries for opposing them, some of you are happy because Iran is a Muslim country


As a christian, i will never support oppression, genocide and imperialism

Taqiyya apprentice go and sleep.

If America is bad, Iran is worse. They're the sponsors of all these jihad, iswap, isis and all of that rubbish. The fact that their followers believe they'll make heaven when they're martyred makes the fight against terrorism/shariah even more difficult.

That's why the Iranian royal family will go back after being in exile for 47 years. A new Iran is born.

the Iranian royal family where kicked out by this same US because the US wanted access to Iranian oil. Think about that .

Terrorist African revolutionaries you mean? 🤣🤣 Cry me a river🤣🤣🤣

Some of you just talk like the supposed shite nations are not terrorists themselves!
But your bigotry blinds faster

U and ur likes Ona don whine onaselves!

Make Ona face we country side

Oya, sorry . I know say I don touch your sensitive spot. But then, no true Christian would advocate "undeserved and unprovoked" violence against any people's group for the purpose of faith conversion. I don't need to embrace Islam or paganism to tolerate them. And I mustn't give in or support their practices to prove a point. Christianity is exclusive, you are either for God or not.

UrVillageChief:
Una just like to dey jamtalk. Was @bolded necessary? That very part of Nigeria is the last part you will ever hear that someone is persecuted due to his creed or religion. It is the only region in Nigeria where true tolerance and civility is practiced.
What differentiates your own kind of Christianity from the northerners' kind of Islam is the fact that you have no access to guns. We've heard a number of instances where people lost their lives due to their religions in both the northern and Eastern parts of Nigeria. It's only in the SW that you are least likely to lose your life because of your belief. To us, humanity transcends religions, ethnicity, creeds and beliefs and this, my friend, is our flex. In my family for instance, we have both Christians, Muslims and even traditionalists and nobody discriminates against anyone as we are family first, every other thing becomes secondary. You both are just two sides of the same coin.

ismodiwa:
Master strategist, always speaking rubbish

You are really pained by war going on in far away middle east

Wizardslayer:
Tinubu government will never make press statements condemning the attack that killed the ayatollah Ali khamenieh in Iran.

He's got no balls to do that.

.

What concerns our president with that? The good thing about Tinubu is that he knows when to speak and when to be quiet. He knows how to reads the room very well.

LordBiden:
Those countries are US allies who allowed the US set up military bases,so they deserve whatever Iran throws at them.

De play, Iran can't face the UAE, Iraq and Kuwait. A country that their leader was destroyed few hours after a war started?. Only iraq can take out Iran

Sanity restored, I'm impressed😎
I was particularly triggered to respond because you're not the first igbo/Hausa to term the Yorubas' noble culture and nature of tolerance as confusion. We get that a lot from you short-fused northerners and Easterners hence the reason why I said earlier that you both are the opposite sides of the same coin as the East is a place where Muslims are seen as outcasts while the Christians are endangered species in the north🤣
You could have simply passed your point across without insulting those whose culture celebrates tolerance, cosmopolitanism, inclusivity and civility. Those who see you as a human first before anything else. Those who don't have it in their culture to persecute or discriminate against people due to their beliefs, creeds or religions.
It's actually a flex that no normal person would want to make mockery of. You are being ignored now my friend.

You are talking nonsense, nobody is supporting US- Israel against Iran just because Iran is an Islamic nation, are you aware that UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait are all Islamic nations yet they are in support of America and Israel. You are just a terrorist sympathizer, wake up and embrace the reality.

Any real Christian is supposed to be happy for the killing of the king of terrorists who have been masterminding the killings of Jews and Christians all over the world. You claimed you don't support oppression but jihadists who you are gullibling pitying won't waste a second to eliminate you when they get the opportunity to do so.

Arostar2023:
I don't know the kind of Christian you are. You see a regime that sponsors terror all over the world, suppresses/kills her own citizens and calls for the death of Jews. And you still claimed to be a Christian . Na MURIC kind of Christian you be? Or are you one of the people that combine juju , Islam and Christianity together in the name of "accomodation"? Repent!

He might not even be a Christian if u carefully observe the way he defends islamic extremists and their regimes here muslims are masters of disguise which they call taqiya in their religion.

MT:

US has military bases in those countries.

dappydozzy:
There is nothing like terrorist African revolutionaries, is it the great Patrice Lumumba or Thomas Sankara you will call terrorists? . Nelson mandela was also termed terrorist by the Dutch apartheid regime.But to you is Mandela a terrorist ? I am still trying to decipher what your age is, you simply dont understand international politics, what terrorism is the US fighting, they also sponsor terrorism in other countries,terrorism to them is a matter of national interest that is why they cant win their so called War on terror. It is Karma. Time is even running out for the US. If the US continues like this, and the UN continues to function like a toothless bulldog, it will eventually lead to WW3.

So did the USA kill Nelson Mandela? baba stay inside your hole before Israel reason your matter

You are clearly ignorant
😂😂😂
Read up and resesrch whst he said then co e back here and laugh if it doesnt make more sense to you then

They wont pay for it cos there is no justice or any deity in this world but truly its wrong

Power is not given, it is taken. Everyone in this world including the Americans suffered at some point. No African 'revolutionary' was killed without the support of Africans, sometimes, most of their own people. Piece the details together. America did not wake up one day and say Gaddafi should die. Even Nigeria supported the NATO actions in Libya so what are you saying abeg??

U the Iranian royal family where kicked out by this same US because the US wanted access to Iranian oil. Think about that .

Had to check with Grok. This is what I got:

No, the Iranian royal family (the Pahlavi dynasty, led by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi) was not kicked out of Iran by the United States.

The 1979 Iranian Revolution (also known as the Islamic Revolution) overthrew the monarchy through a popular uprising involving a broad coalition of Iranians—religious clerics, students, leftists, nationalists, merchants, and others—opposed to the Shah's autocratic rule, corruption, repression (via his secret police, SAVAK), Westernization policies, and perceived subservience to foreign powers, especially the US.

- Massive protests and strikes paralyzed the country in 1978–1979.
- The Shah fled Iran on January 16, 1979 (officially described as a "vacation", never to return.
- Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile on February 1, 1979, and the monarchy collapsed on February 11 when the military declared neutrality.

The US, under President Jimmy Carter, was a strong ally of the Shah for decades (providing military and economic support) and viewed him as a key Cold War partner in the Middle East. The US did **not** orchestrate or support his overthrow—in fact, the revolution was a major strategic loss for Washington, leading to severed ties, the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis, and long-term hostility.

Some conspiracy theories claim the US "plotted" to remove the Shah or backed Khomeini, but historical evidence shows no direct US role in forcing him out. Instead, the Carter administration tried (unsuccessfully) to support the Shah during the crisis and later underestimated the revolution's momentum.

To contrast: The US **did** play a direct role in **strengthening** the Shah's rule earlier—via the 1953 CIA- and MI6-orchestrated coup (Operation Ajax) that overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh after he nationalized Iran's oil industry. This reinstated the Shah as an absolute monarch and deepened US influence, but it also sowed long-term resentment that contributed to anti-Shah and anti-American sentiment fueling the 1979 revolution.

The royal family went into exile (the Shah died in Egypt in 1980), and his son, Reza Pahlavi (the current exiled crown prince), has lived mostly in the US since then, advocating against the Islamic Republic. The overthrow was driven by internal Iranian forces, not by the US "kicking them out."

The death of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ was prophesized as the gateway to the redemption of our sins. Judas might live. The bible did not give a conclusion to his part after the lord had resurrected but unless you are God, you can't be so sure were Judas went.

Now that we are on the topic, Israel and Persia were great allies. King Cyrus frees the Israelites from Babylon. Where did the evil-doers, the Ayatollahs come from?🤣

. It's sad that even AI is being used to change history. The then Iranian prime minister was remove by the US and Britain in 1953 because he tried to nationalise Irans oil for iranians. The US and Britain installed the shah after that and they had full access up until 1979 during iranian revolution, the Iranian where tired of US control of their resources and suppression thus the revolution. The shia went in exile with his son , now the US is trying to sell the son as the saviour of iran .

You should look it up.

I've tried using the link you shared but it's saying Wikipedia doesn't have the page. But the suggested page actually proves you right. The predecessor of the Shar was ousted in a coup d'etat aided by the Brits and Americans.

So this whole thing goes way back and it's more complicated than it seems.
