Many of you locked up and said nothing about the needless waste of lives through suicide bombing recently in Maiduguri.

Here you all are cavorting about and getting all riled up about Iran and USA, while your nation deteriorates into the stone age.

One would almost think most of you actually have dual citizenships with either of those nations...!

Omo!!!
Did you miss the news about the US military bombing the north just a few months ago, or T rump sending military experts and top notch CIA personnel to train Naija Service Chiefs? So who's deficient, the trainers or the pupils?

Iran handlers shouts "death to Isreal" and "death to America " side by side so saying Iran was of no immediate or imminent threat to America is a fat, sumptuous lie.
Nigerians in northern Nigeria shout "Death to Israel" and "Death to Iran". Hate for Israel an Iran in the middle east and the entire Islamic world is normal and for obvious reasons.

If they're actively building a weapon to make that happen I'd move to stop them from completing it
Isn't it time you start to think logically?

First America said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, where are they today?

For 40 years usa and Israel have been crying that Iran wants to destroy Israel and are building nukes , ask yourself how many years did it take north Korea to acquire nukes ? If it takes 40 years to build nukes when will Iran finally have the chance to use it ? 40 good years to get nukes that other countries like china and NK don develop tire! Haba! God gave you a brain try and use it .

So if Russia starts shouting " death to America", Trump will go and kill Putin and 168 innocent Russian school girls? Will he even dare it? Obviously not!
Smh.

Only God knows how you reason. The moment Iran does what Trump is doing, I will join all reasonable people to condemn Iran.

Meanwhile, Americans are dying daily and expensive military assets being pumelled in the Middle East for a needless war.

Why don't YOU think logically.
In the last negotiations why they couldn't reach a deal was because Iran ADAMANTLY refused UN inspections of its nuclear sites. WHY??

I disagree. I have read history of wars and understand finance to know that countries fight wars based on their self interest than on the interest of others. There's nothing Trump has done that preceding US leaders haven't alluded to. Point is, it aligns with US national interest. Trump is only loud and bold bout it. Same for Iran. Nothing has changed! Their perspective about US is same. This war or not!
This war is more about geopolitical power balance than specifics.
This official, if true, is playing local political game with his resignation than disagreeing with broad scale view he is claiming.
Just come clean that you are peo-Israel.

Iran poses no threat to the United States. It was pressure from Israel that pushed Trump to go to war.

Trump has been called, "The best friend that Israel has ever had." It obviously went straight to his head.

I hope Israel isnt forced to use a nuke. Even at that, Iran would keep firing missile has its army has been decentralised into 31 units, and they can act independently.

I agree with your position, USA & Brothers wages war based on their national and strategic interests which in most cases are divergent from the pretexts they trumpet in the media. While it may be true that Josh Kent resigned based on a political game of chess, it still doesn't remove the moral and sensible element of his justification and decision. Many politicians, military figures and civil servants in a sensible system have done exactly this, without any political moves and positioning.

Don't tell the bolded to the Nigerian zionists though, otherwise they'll have no reason to condemn a particular religion.

These below were the reasons for refusal

Reasons for Refusal
Iran’s current refusal to allow full inspections is based on several stated reasons:
"Post-War Conditions": Following U.S. and Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities in June 2025, Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation head, Mohammad Eslami, stated that inspections of bombed sites (such as Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan) would not be permitted until the IAEA defines a clear framework for visits to facilities hit by military attacks.

Security Concerns: President Masoud Pezeshkian signed legislation in July 2025 to suspend IAEA access until the "security" of nuclear facilities and scientists is guaranteed.

Legal Expiration: Iran claims that UN Resolution 2231, which underpinned the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), expired in October 2025 and thus no longer has a legal mandate for inspections.
Approval Requirements: Any future inspections now require individual approval from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

I think part of the reason why that is the case is that they think that they have to be against everything Islamists and BATists and APC supporters and vice versa

A lot of Nigeria are not critical thinkers

They just take sides because thats what their religion (Xtian or Islam) says

A downfall of USA is no consolation for Iran. It only enthrones China and the likes who will finally ban Islam or at least regulate islam across borders.
Are you still thinking the war is all about religion?

So if Nigerians shout death to Putin, he is then justified to kill people in Nigeria?

Same way they come online to castigate whichever govt is in power in Nigeria to strengthen their future asylum claim. How else to prove that the govt is after you? Nigerians and sense. Hahaha
