The reason the USA haven't carpet bombed Iran to middle age era, because of the Anti Iranian regime folks, if not y'all will be on nairaland shouting ICC and gènócide

So, what exactly is Iran's offence here?
USA support terror groups, US overthrow leaders, US invade countries. Which country has Iran invaded? US attacked Iran.

Brendaniel:
I've refused to talk about this war for certain reasons, but there is something I have noticed which a lot of people have taken to be normal in this war which is:

It looks like most people(especially Iranian supporters) have taken it to be normal for Iran to attack civilians and civilian facilities of other countries while it is an atrocity for other countries to the same to it.


For instance, this is UAE, over 140 civilians were injured, no one says anything, the Iranian supporters will come here to cheer it as victory with justification, where these people in any military facility ? No!

Now reverse the same scenario for Iran and watch most people scream of injustice especially Iranian supporters.

I've refused to involve my discussion in this war but this is getting very obvious.

The US killed over 100 Iranian shcool girls. Omo, that is enough to make any country to go gaga. If any country slaughter 100 american school girls, america may use nuclear weapon on that country instantly.

WoW, someone who truly sees things the way it is has finally spoken up.... I commend you brother... these are really trying times.

My father called me some weeks ago, telling me there has been no light in his area in lagos since 2025 SEPTEMBER and they told them it will be that way till 2027.... Imagine the frustration at old age.
So, i decided to do something about it.... I GOT HIM A SOLAR FAN.... yes for less than 100k you can save up for it for some months and then do it. It will give you peaceful sleep at night.

Then a PORTABLE SOLAR GENERATOR (....less than 500k) is best for LAPTOP, PHONES, EVEN TV(I bought a 15w ITEL TV)....

If you plan well in a year you can get all these things and have a better SLEEP and even PEACE when there is no light.

As for the TAX, hmmmm I tell you the truth, IT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, not if elections is still 2027.

The alternative to these is RELOCATION to any good east african country and you will NEVER need Nigeria again EXCEPT for spicy meals.

I honestly can not trust the government but I know we are all responsible for our own lives.
Stay strong bro.

Thank you bro

Difrent:
So you earn up to 100 millions annually?
Cos those are the ones required to pay 25%
If so , pay up your fair share of tax Mr man.
If na one of those abroad counties Una like hyping, na between 45 to 50% you go pay

Thunder fire U. Abroad country, I don't need to waste money on fueling generator over there. Generator alone consume over 7m from me yearly.
So, govt takes 25 percent of my personal income and still leave me to spend 7m plus on fuel for generating electricity. E no go better for people like U. Politicians sloot our country dry and people like U talk this rubbish.
I spend over 30k monthly on bottle water. If govt takes 25 percent of my income tax, then govt should provide me with water so I don't need to spend money on it as well. Govt should give me quality healthcare and proper public schools so I don't need to spend on these stuff.
We have politicians whose cars are changed every 4 years, their hospital bills taken care of including that of their families. They loot contract fund. Abroad country we hype ? U dey sleep or what exactly is Ur problem? People like U are the enemy of this country.
I provide every damn thing by my self and U want to take 25 percent of my income ? Who told U 100m earners are those who will pay 25 percent income tax ? Someone earning as low as 25m per year will pay such. Shame

pinkguy:
wike is a law student, other profession in government should aid their own

So, Wike used his personal money or tax payer's/resource allocation money. Una too mumu for this country.

yarimo:
don't mind the guy must of them always comment in the name of I have commented, that is one of Niger state general hospitals located in suleja. The state governor hardly even stay in the state for 48 hours always good at traveling. When the people living in minna the state capital protested against poor power supply. The unfortunate governor was telling them to go and install solar as if everyone can afford solar .

if i go and protest in the state, shebi the president will release soldiers and police againt me?
we will keep calling on the president because he controls the entire country, the governors brag about Federal mights, so they dont care about u since Federal Might will help them win election.

Do u blame them? Nope, our leaders in black nations are the worse thing ever. People are looking for how to escape poverty. Life is hard, nigeria is a mess. A country so blessed but devoid of truth. We have oil and gas in abundant but we cant even buy our own fuel well or have electricity. It is a shame, Nigeria can not be fixed. If I were u, dont procreate another creature. The country is finished. Politicians dey waste una money on imported side chicks.

The only people who enjoy this country are politicians. They are simply the luckiest creatures on earth. They sit one place, use citizens tax money, natural resources to build wacky roads, get apploaded for and get paid heavily for using our money to build wacky roads. They are even paid for life, taken care of for life for just working for 4 years, their families are made for life. Whoever brought democracy to black man made a mistake.
Na village diety we for dey use allow them swear. These men in pot belly have destroyed our destiny. As i dey type like this, I never see electricity for two weeks. It is mainly 15 minutes of life per week or none at all.
Omo, i fit enter road remove clothes. I am so tired of this hell of a country.

The only thing this govt knows how to do is to show us video of one useless road project that price alone will fix eletricity issue in Nigeria. I kept saying it that useless road was never a priority. We had many FG roads that could be improved on, Nigerians need fixed electricity. Our business are crumbling. I am spending so much on this for both business and home. Omo, make these criminals forget this tax becus as long as I am concerned, I will spend 30m on electricity.

Dcave9:
Iran tried small but US is a heavy weight

Not just USA, Iran dey fight two Countries. I respect Iran today. Honestly, them no small. That means if no one supports Israel, Iran will detsroy that country. Infact, not just Israel and US, there are more than 10 countries involved in helping Israel shoot down Iran's missles.

Parachoko:
Go through the list you posted again, more Nigerians now have access to Electricity compared to 1999.

The PDP met it at 44%, tell us what they increased it to between 1999 and 2015. I know a lot of Niger Delta communities without access to electricity, but the NDDC is now lighting up most of them

Mot of the APC guys are ex PDP people

seunmsg:
There is nothing wrong with education. The problem is the funding model for our universities. We have over 140 public universities in Nigeria where students don’t pay tuition fees and you guys expect lecturers to be paid salaries. Just this weekend, a post by a student complaining of N125k fees for school logistics went viral on social media.

We want the best of everything and we don’t want to pay for it. A standard private secondary school in Abuja charges nothing less than N1.5m in a year but somehow, we want to pay N20,000 per year for university education and we don’t want lecturers to sleep in offices. Okay now, make all of us dey play.

Oga, have u checked how much is spent on politicians? Like I wnt to understand something, why do we spend so much on politicians? Like why? Hope u know that education is free in many countries even up to masters level. Public schools are extremely good in many countries.
We spend billions on politicians, so what is wrong in spending billions on lecturers who are even more valuable than politicians? What is the usefulness of politicians? Look at the amount spent on buying cars for senators every 4 years. Why do people like u defend the foolishness of politicians and expect the masses to bail the cat for them?
We should simply cut down on the useless packages given to useless politicians who serve no good for us and channel that money into funding education and healthcare and care for our security men and families. I was at a barracks last two weeks, I couldnt believe the state of the place people who risk their lives stay with their families while politicians like Wike who serve no good to the country are over taken care of.
Yes, we can suspend those mouth watering packages given to politicians and invest in education which will favour the entire country.

Racoon:
https://gazettengr.com/uch-dwindling-fortunes-of-nigerias-celebrated-tertiary-hospital/

Politicians are earning fat packages, their families go abroad to treat them selves while Nigerians whose natural resources are used by these men and taxes are left to die. It is a pity we have no balls. Shame on black race, such a failure of a race.

Kemetian:
They can see in their sleep what you can't see standing from the tallest iroko tree.

And what they see in front is a RISEN NIGERIA. A Nigeria of our dreams, courtesy of Jagaban's bold economic reforms, and they want to be part of it.

Who no like good thing?

The foolishness in this country eh. Something that is done for any head of state. Why Una mumu like this ?
Why I share country with people like this ?
Oga, kidnappers dey kpei soldiers up and down and over run military bases, them slaughter obas in their palace and nigeians are sleeping in darkness and in heat, U dey here dey talk rubbish.

FutureFocus:
They won’t produce finished goods to even promote employment which can in return reduce insecurity because it will meaningfully engage the employed youths , they are just okay importing everything from China and imposing heavy imports duty on them,
Its sweeter to collect import duties than investing hard to make this country a productive nation that produce, I don’t understand the logic behind black men thinking, you ask people to go register online and then make the server unreachable so people can pay staffs to register on the street,

Chief , everything just tired me

We don’t even know who is going to liberate us

Look at this thread for instant received less attention, but if It was Carter Efe and Portable Thread, it would be on 6th page by now

Bro, i naturally feel most of us in this country actually have zero brain. Like what is so hard in investing and priotizing education, especially STEM based education ? What is so hard in investing in nigerian football league. Guy, do u know much this country can be making if our local league alone is great? The number of people who will be employed, the amount the US makes from sport leagues alone will shock u. Like these old men have no sense, just pot belle to carry side chicks up and down and waste money and turn around to tax me heavily, WTF. This country has no business taxing her citizens this heavy. At most, 2 to 3 percent income tax. This country has mad blind blowing resources, all it needed is convert tjem to finished products. Like I feel we are under heavy spell.
The post cant get engagement because we have been offered terrible education. More than half of the population are poorly educated. What do u expect?

FutureFocus:
A relation went to the hospital, they were asking her who refer her , who did she know and where is her letter?

They don’t really care as long as Agberos tax collectors remit money to them and they are allocation from oil revenue

It’s really frustrating , and people keep pretending like it’s normal for this jungle design lifestyle

Bro, I am exhusted. These men take our oil revenue, tax us left, right and center. Normally, Nigeria should have no business with UK tax system.
Guy, Nigeria has gold, liteum, uranium, oil, gas, endless lands for agriculture, cashew, like the list goes on. But we have leaders who never invested the money into proper education to enable us produce finished goods from these raw mateirals. We allowed forigners loot these resources and we go back to borrow money from these foreigners, now we need to tax our people to death to recover money. While these politicians live in plenty, sophisctaed estates home and abroad for their generation unborn.
Nigerian leaders, is this fair? Is this fair? I spend so much to live my life, it is not even enough. Taking even 500k from me again will ruin me. I am tired and frustrated.

FutureFocus:
No, you guys should maintain multiple taxation with lack of power supply, Instead of you to reach out to Abia state to teach you how they achieve 24/7 power supply , your priority is to tax our capital in the bank, tax every transaction, tax our goods on the bad roads , we keep fooling ourselves, which money are the commercial drivers paying on the road within our cities called security money? Why do we need to pay when we take a matter to police station? Everything is already privatized, we run our own generator, our own water, you are not qualified to collect tax

Exactly what I keep saying. I don't know why these guys are this heartless because e no go funny when they start misbhaving. The only thing I benefited from govt was susidy and now it is gone.
But govt doesnt understand that if I made 20m as a hustler last year with no income tax, i had other type of taxes to pay too which cut short of that money. Let say from that 20m, I spent about 6m to power my family house electricity via generator fueling, repairing, NEPA bill, etc. Now, govt takes about 4m from me as income tax, aside the other taxes they collected from me, I am left with 16m, but the 6m I spent on electricity must still be met? from where will i now add up the money in the 16m left to power electricity for my family home? It simply means the govt has reduced my quality of life. It simply means if i was able to supply to my self up to 20 hours of self generated electricity daily, I wont be able to do that anymore, I will have to either reduce it to maybe 3 hours daily or multiply my hustle to earn more which will mean paying more income tax.
We are not talking about the fact we need to drink bottle water. it cost me roughly 25k per month and times I have more people in, I spend more. Govt has taken income tax but didnt supply water, so where will I see the money to spend on bottle water? It means I may resort to satchet water. Govt further reduced my quality of life. I can go on and on. To Tinubu, anyone earning 40m per year is rich. But honestly, u are not. U are just a bit comfortable. By the time he takes about 9m from it as income tax, u are left with 30m. That means most of the stuff u were able to do when u earned 40m per year, u cant do them.
Remember, u have healthcare to care for, for ur kids, ur parents, ur spouse, Nigeria is poor, so for every man who earns 40m yearly, there are list of dependants who could have been cared for by the govt but no, they arent. Nigerians are facing mad housing crises as we speak. Govt has no plan. Those in informal sector will rarely get any benefit of anytype. No matter how much u earn, no one will learn u a kobo. Damn, Nigeria was designed to make u poor till u die.

Guestmale:
I don't believe this, it's the same supremacy spirit that you accused America of that has consumed them, if not why is Putin running away from peace negotiation table

I think u need to study this very well. Let me give u a bit details:
So, US via CIA caused unrest in Ukrain and removed their president and put this current president now who does only what the west wants him to do. The west was mainly the US.
So, the Russian speaking part of Ukrain started getting targetted, killed, their language removed from school system, culture banished, etc. They started asking for help from Russia. At the same time, the Ukrainean president was making efforts to join NATO which means the US can station her base and weapon extremely close to Russia. This is why Iran is attacking gulf countries now. The Ameican bases there in the gulf region are used to fight Iran. It is easier if ur enemy is behind u and see and can send spies to really understand u. One of American's longest aim has been to cripple russia into smaller country via uprising among Russians. Infact, that was the main Aim of the war. US cant afford to fight russia directly, so provoke them into war, then place economic sanction on them and the citizens will protest and Russia will dismantle. If Putin wasnt really this strong eh, Russia would have collapsed since the start of the war.
So, the idea is weaken Russia, weakn China, while the US remains strong. Unfortunately, not working. US is extremely brutal o.

Thomthom:
Honestly I don't understand our president on this Kidnapping issue

una funny o, Tinubu just want to be president before he dies. that is the highest honour for anyone. All these ones una dey talk, no be his own. If he truly cares about nigeria, he would have pressured for electoral reform the way he pushed for tax reform

Guestmale:
The same thing you're accusing America of was what push Russia to an unending war against Ukraine they thought it will be over in a couple of days or weeks.

Russia war was complete setup by the US. Some of u really dont know how the US works. They are trying to do same thing with China and Taiwon. Lol, US is very brutal competitor. It strives to ensure those who can compete with her are branded devil, spoilt and economically destroyed, when they cant achieve that, they try to setup chaos in ur country, if they doesnt work, they setup a proxy war.

This is how bloody the US is. They didnt know how China did it and it shocked them. The same reason they engineered a war so Russia will keep fighting and never rise. Russia was becoming economically important in EU and was ready to battle and protect EU, the US saw it, they feared and used their weapon which are media, dollar and CIA to engineer a war. They hate to see other countries rise. This is the main problem they have with Iran o. Their jst want to be the only country bossing everyone around, developing weapons that others buy. Imagine the US attack u for buying weapons from China or RUssia, they presure countries to buy only AMerican weapons. That country is deadly and wicked and it is very unfair to the world. Bravo to countries that have stood agaisnt this bully.

aswani:
It should be ROTIFN which stands for "Rest Obidients, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria".

Whether or not he should be on the ballot to be fixing anything, having being a member of a useless political class, including Atiku and Peter "cho cho cho" Obi, is neither here nor there.

Fix what exactly? military bases and men getting slaugtered, Nigerians sleeping in massive heat and darkness, unpresented in the history of Nigeria, extreme hunger, massive corruption, dead healthcare system, massive insecurity that people are being kidnapped from their homes, like brooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, wtf is wrong with some of ya?

Mindlog:
Overwhelming majority of Nigerians are struggling.

And funny enough, this man get mind dey increase tax bracket, them swear for this man? Like these guys dont understand the struggles of every day Nigerians.

iluvdonjazzy:
hmmm this time around I will not blame them but they should maintain decorum and be very peaceful as much as possible

U are telling someone who lost his only child to kidnappers, someone whose wife was raped to death, to be peaceful? hahahaahahahahahaha, Nigerians o. They don kpai ur only child before? or have they r#ped ur woman in ur front before? If u havent experienced any of these, they tell them to be peaceful

Kemetian:
Low IQ is the reason.

Same way they compare Nigeria to UAE and 'Dubai'.

Never mind that UAE has just 10 million people, with 4 times more oil and gas than Nigeria.

In their simple heads, ''we both produce oil'', therefore we should ''be like them''.

okay, compare with USA, Egypt, Indonesia, etc.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Injured only two civilians. What a joke of a target. This is not equal partners in war but a wounded animal (Iran) trying to escape to lick her wounds.

Iran is not a super power and never claimed to be. Israel is fighting along with the strongest military on earth. Iran has been on saction for decades. Make Israel stay for sanction for two years let me see if they will even manufacture weapon. I give it to Iran, they are not small, they are fighting and welldone.

Lastpharoah33:
I'm aware of what you're saying brother. If those earning way above 500k in this dispensation are lamenting, what's going to be the fate of those of us earning slightly above the new minimum wage?

I'm more interested on procreating with reckless badon even in the face of this harsh economic situation, we should be intentional in bringing innocent souls into this mess.

My take.

Omo, u are right, I know how much I make per month o and yearly, yet it is like I am suffocating. No quality of life. I earned 30m last year, but bro, to live a quality life here is super expensive. Now, imagine to get 24/7 electricity in nigeria to run ur business is super luxury. I had three busineses as at last year, i was burning fuel on them all, at some points, the cost became too much, aside burning fuel for my house, omo, i shut down the busineses and those working had to leave too.
Nigeria is a mess. It is worse than a mess. Worse part, politicians enjoy 24/7 electricity without sweating. My pain is this man came for taxing us from the money that is not enough to live quality life, u want to take out of it. WTF is wrong u

Lastpharoah33:
Creating 5 consecutive threads about the epileptic power supply in Nigeria, dude you just flew into the country?

Stroll into the politics section and you will be shocked to the marrows. As long as their tribesman is up there, the rest should burn.

We enjoy 8hrs electricity here in onitsha though, put pay through our nose.

The country keeps getting worse, it is worse now, and worse part, this regime is eyeing up 25 percent of my personal income and over 35 percent of income in total. haaaaaaaaaaa

Elusive001:
Really? So when iran was sponsoring terrorists, hamas, Hezbollah, houthis, Islamic jihad, etc against israel, dem no know say israel na American ally?

Shebi dem sponsoring assassination against Trump on American soil.

When dem dey chant death to America, death to Israel, they were drunk.

UAE done bomb desalination facility in Iran.

Dey play.

USA sponsors terrorist groups too even in Nigeria, Africa and middle east

proxillin:
BBC and CNN is pro IRGC. CNN even went to Iran and claim their is no war in Iran. Iran is stable.

You lot were celebrating it.

Nobody is controlling BBC. BBC hate trump. If Iran is winning, BBC or CNN would have used it against trump.


I understand, you wish Iran win, Iran stand no chance. Yes, they can throw few punches. Even Hamas hurt Israel more.

Iran has not even hurt Israel like Hamas..shame....talk of underperforming...

loosers

Are u people not ashamed of una selves? Like how can two super powers who claim to be super powers go to war against one country that has been under saction for decades? Omo, I still dont understand. Why cant the US do it alone or Israel do it alone?
As we speak, over 15 countries are involved trying to intercept Iranian missles and drones agaisnt Israel and US. omo, i no rate all these countries. There is something they know about iran that we dont know. Omo, Israel for just go do am alone, no need for intelligence or help from US. US for do am alone.

yinkus6750:
[Everyone knows what is going on inside Iran. Been neighbors doesn't mean they must support terrorism.
And that's why they joined forces with others to fight a perceived international enemy.
If they don't do that, one day, they might likely be attacked by same Iran you want them to protect

quote author=Princedapace post=138696411]
US bases are there and use for gathering intelligence. Stop habouring US bases. Nations should stop it. US will never fight any country that has missles that can reach US home cities. It was major reason Trump attacked Iran.

U guys are funny.
So, u dont know that the US fund terrorist groups? They did that in Syria, they are doing that across Africa. CIA is well known to fund terrorist groups. US is everything she accuses others of doing aside the fact they have media reach to change narratives. CIA is globally known for what they do to others.
Iran is not global enemy, Iran is just US enemy and enemy of US puppets leaders like u have in gulf regions. The US doesnt lament about democracy in Saudi becus that is US puppet leadership, immediately a person who doesnt like the US becomes Saudi leader today, the US will start the campaign that Saudi is a terrorist country. It is funny u still dont know the US. The US hates countries wth great ambision to build weapons that can reach and challenge the US. This is why the US hates Russia today, China too. What has China done to the US? But the US sits in her national assembly to discuss China rising threat. Hahahahaha, which threat? Has China done anything? Just that China is growing her military and that is it. The US love to be in control, determine who rules other countries and u must not pursue military ambision. The EU countries have seen this now and France, UK, are all pursuing military ambision
