Stop saying "we" pretended like it's not our concern.

What could yasef and this ancestor have done?

Even the US that pretends to be the citadel of democracy and whatnot, what could the ordinary people do to their current mad king?

It's a helpless position my brother.

"The current mad king" would have bombed Iran to the stone ages (Iran has zero air defense). The only thing holding him back is democracy

iichidodo:
This their inflation pass Zimbabwe own...

By far. But to be fair, Zimbabwe was not in a war

madridguy:
Continue deceiving yourself with useless propaganda.

Iran is a country with abundance agriculture produce.

😅🤣😂🤣😇
Am I Al Jazeera? Your quarrel is with Al Jazeera

omoredia:
IzIam and war, poverty and hardship goes together. Its the same issue in Nigeria now

Nogeria ke. Nigeria is in a war?? When?!

ATEAMS:
world power for a reason

It is actually unfair. The US is not even in a war (a war has to be declared by Congress). YET:
Ayatollah and his entire family and all Iranian top echelons and all their potential successors are all wiped out, plus some 4000 Iranians. Meanwhile US has lost 13 (THIRTEEN!!!) people total!
I just don't think it is fair

brownwindow:
War what is it good for absolutely nothing, hmmmn yeah!

When Russia Ukraine started, we all pretended as if 'E no concern me'

Now directly or indirectly Trump is showing everybody Shege promax!

It is well!

Actually it is good for something - the last thing on Iran's mind right now is nuclear weapons!.

Actually it is IRGC causing all the problens - they are the ones harassing ships minding their own business, not involved in anything, just trying to cross Hormuz

As we harp everyday on how pump prices in US have risen by one whole dollar (amidst a thriving economy by the way, because they do export oil), let's pause for a second and consider conditions within poor Iran.
1USD = 1.4m (million!) Iranian Rial!

In the popular Bastan market in the west of the Iranian capital, where the inviting smell of fresh bread and fruit mingle with the sight of colourful fabrics and clothing, the scene no longer holds its usual joy.

Passersby wander among the vendors’ stalls, carefully turning goods over only to return them to their places without buying.

"Daily shopping trips have turned into something resembling a reconnaissance mission to find out the new prices,” says Mashhadi Firouz, a 63-year-old retiree, is reminiscing about his youth on this street when it was bustling with life.

Firouz is standing in front of the shelves in a large grocery store, turning items over one by one, searching for the prices listed on their packaging.

“A year ago, a kilo of rice was about 1.8 million rials ($1.31), but today it has crossed the 5-million-rial ($3.63) threshold,” he tells Al Jazeera. “Likewise, a bottle of cooking oil was about 700,000 rials ($0.51) until the spring of last year, but its price has now reached more than 3 million rials ($2.18).

He continues, exasperated: “We are witnessing a terrifying expansion of poverty, and not just extreme poverty, but what can be called the poverty of retirees and employees, as fixed-income earners are living below the poverty line for the first time in decades.
“We do not only complain about the high prices, but about their speed, which leaves us no chance to catch our breath.”

Counting eggs one by one’
Just a few metres away, Fatima, 46, a housewife and mother of three, tells Al Jazeera that she has to make multiple trips to the market each week just to stay ahead of the price rises.
“I now go to the market three times a week instead of once, not because I need anything, but to see if there is a seller who has goods at a lower price, or a commodity that the wave of inflation has not yet caught up with.
"Red meat has become a dream, chicken has become a mere guest on our table, and I have even started counting eggs one by one.”
Hearing about prices doubling within days or weeks is no longer unusual, Fatima says.

In the wholesale market in the “Narenj” area south of Tehran, Mehran, 71, a grocery seller, speaks about another face of the crisis. “Inflation has not only hit the buyer, but it has hit us, too,” he tells Al Jazeera. “Purchasing power has collapsed, and people are now buying only the essentials. Prices have doubled in less than four months, so we had to reduce the quantities offered, but we still cannot find anyone to buy them.”

“In my 40 years of work, I have never seen a recession this bad, not even during the worst periods of sanctions.”

Mehrah isn’t even looking to turn a profit at this point, he says. “I am just trying not to go bankrupt and close the shop I inherited from my father.”

This is Iran’s highest inflation rate since 1942, during World War II, which triggered the collapse of food supply chains and soaring prices.

Arman Khaleghi, head of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines, points to what he describes as a “perfect economic storm” of five factors that have all poured down simultaneously on the Iranian economy.

Khaleghi points to an external factor that acted as the “knockout blow,” namely the maritime blockade by the US that has made travelling to Iran a perilous mission for cargo ships. In this regard, he says, “Even the mere news of a ship being targeted immediately raises prices, let alone the existence of actual difficulties and palpable shortages that have forced the search for more expensive alternative land routes. This has plunged the import process into a dark tunnel and spread a sense of impending scarcity in the market, translating into skyrocketing prices.”

Khaleghi warns of a vicious cycle closing in on the economy, stating, “We are in a situation where the state itself is bearing the brunt of the economic slowdown. Tax revenues, which were supposed to offset part of the cost of the preferential currency reforms, are also shrinking. Thus, we are faced with an impossible equation: the citizen’s income is melting away, the state’s income is eroding, and prices continue to soar to heights unseen in decades.

”Standing on the edge of an iceberg"
Over in Tajrish Square on the north side of the city, where a popular market appears packed with customers at first glance, conversations with shop owners soon tell a completely different story.
"You would think the market is alive, but it is clinically dead,” Reza, 47, a shop owner, tells Al Jazeera.
“People come here because the market is the last free place for entertainment. They wander aimlessly, remembering the days when they used to enter shopping malls and leave with bags that filled their car trunks. Today, however, they might not buy anything, and I do not blame them. As a merchant myself, I can no longer afford to buy what I sell.”

Reyhaneh, 32, an accountant, says: “Every day, I pass by here, and I make sure to buy something, but I feel sad when I see hundreds of people wandering around with empty hands. They did not come just to look at the prices, but many of them leave when confronted with the exceedingly high prices.”

Her husband, Mahmoud, 37, a lecturer at a private university, joins the conversation, telling Al Jazeera, “You might hear here about inflation exceeding 300 percent for some goods, and you might think it is a sudden shock caused by the war. But the truth is that these figures would not have been possible if not for structural diseases accumulated over decades of relying on oil revenues.

“The country used to cover its wounds with petrodollars, and now that the effect of the anaesthetic has worn off, all the ailments have surfaced at once.”

Mahmoud argues, “What worries me is not just the price hikes, but the experts’ estimates of the consequences of flawed economic policies that have not yet emerged, because they have effectively hidden behind the noise of the war.

“This means we are standing on the edge of an iceberg; what we see now is only the tip. To make matters worse, we are stuck in a state of neither war nor peace, and this state of suspension is the worst poison that can afflict an exhausted economy.”

Please, do you live in Iran? How are things over there?

Africana1123:
Anything bad in Nigeria is Peter Obi

So is Peter Obi that we are going to blame for this

Others may not be his fault, but this particular one is Obi's fault

Secretbloodline:
What is a man that gains the world but loses his soul?

Exactly. Mark 8:36 - What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world but have to constantly lie, constantly deny who he is.
It's exactly like these black "Hebrew Israelites" who say their ancestors had nothing to do with Africa. I understand it is fate that confined you to that position but can't you at least try to fight?
Then again maybe it is part of the punishment for sins of the fathers.

Secretbloodline:
Prince Hall shares a pauper status with you. A man of merit struggling to change his stars. What is a man that gains the world but loses his soul?

I'd advice you stop mentioning Hall. From what I read of him a person of your sort is not fit to even mention his name

Secretbloodline:



You're useful even if not too bright. You're clever though but clever don't cut genius cake. It doesn't cut royal cake either.


Prince Hall shares a pauper status with you. A man of merit struggling to change his stars. What is a man that gains the world but loses his soul?

Thanks. So are you, very useful
"Not too bright" doesn't even start to describe it.
If you must deny something why must it be something that is so easily proven a lie!😆
Different if it were something that happened long, long ago!

Secretbloodline:
Millions of dark skinned men are paternally R1B haplagroup the master's son. White slave owners who were English, Scotts and Irish not French did produce Mulattos with tan skin. A Mulatto is not a Creole, a tan skinned Mulatto is a coconut who is tan on the outside but white on the inside. A Creole who is tan is an original French men either Frankish or Accadian. Today we just say Creoles and Cajuns. There are dark skinned Creoles and dark skinned Cajuns and even very fair skinned Creoles and Cajuns but they are coconuts. If a Creole is tan skinned and Cajun is tan skinned then they're are original looking French people.


African Americans are paternally R1B the master's son and daughter. The Anglos raped their slaves constantly and mixed them back with the darkest women so that they would still look African and sell as an original on the auction block. Light Skinned Mulatto women sold the highest and dark skinned men that came from Mulattos and they came from white slave owners.

African Americans so confused about their severed African y DNA they make up stories that they're aliens.


Notice how Jacob is dark skinned and Esau is light skinned. This is called replacement of the original through false narrative. Arabs people are Hebrews and they are light tan skinned so this is replacing them. Its called Identity Theft and Fraud.


Notice the dark skinned Negroes because They Not Like Africans because of missing Y DNA use the White Box to validate the Black Box.


There has never been a dark skinned African Yeshua Ben Yossef.

America, a very, very interesting place. See how you're just throwing around mixed races like it's nothing, while in most parts of the world it is a rarity, a real curiosity.
Try not to lie (to yourself) about your ancestry. Neither look down at or up to anyone's ancestry.
Just live your life and let others live theirs!

Secretbloodline:
You're useful.


French Nobility tan skinned.

Creole children tan skinned.

Thank you.
Bros, why not just leave these things and simply live your life? You know you're not fooling anybody. Even you yourself know it's nonsense.
No tan pepple came from Europe to produce you and that's OK. It is not your fault your fathers were white but you yourself can't be white because of the way American society has it. Ideally it should be up to you to choose to be black or white, just like it should be up to Obama. I just hope you're NOT one of those whose white fathers raped or "raped" their black mother's.
Then again there has to be a reason you're so obsessed with denying your white father. Maybe something unwholsome was transmitted durring the unmarried sex or possible rape. Who knows. Just live your life bro. What happened
happened and it was not in any way your fault.
Ciao!

Elections are not won on social media. cvr.inecnigeria.org

Yeah, but when it is 80% against 15% and 3%, better sit up and take notice!

DomPerignon:
Elections are not conducted online and if they were, NL that has been flooded by iPubs is not a reflection of reality and broader society.

How is NL flooded by "ipubs"? Please explain.
But I get your point, but shouldn't it be closer than 79 to 15 (and growing)?

DomPerignon:
This would have been a formidable challenge to Tinubu but since Giringori is going to repeat his foolishness of 2023 by hoarding SE votes, it's going to be Tinubu all over again like in 2023 only that this time around the Christian vote in the north will be going to Tinubu , SS will vote heavily of Tinubu and the SW is going to give Tinubu near 100%. Tinubu will do constitutionally very well in the NW and NE .


Giringori will come a distant last with his tribal votes from the SE and forever cement the fact that SE votes are not required to seek the Presidency as long as you can get them to vote a tribal candidate of theirs.

Well, not according to our informal poll here on NL. See it below. Atiku is NOT a serious candidate

lionshare:
Exactly, they’ll come for him eventually but not while he’s this popular.

He was so totally unpopular the entire assembly voted him out despite knowing he was Tinubu's boy. That's how unpopular he was!

Omalicious1:
If they were actually in a relationship, he doesn't need to request for her to pay, it should just flow naturally.

Wrong. His request would mean he didn't want to cheat the waiter, he was looking for a way the waiter would still get paid. Otherwise he was just telling her: "Let's not pay. Let's cheat the waiter"

AntiChristian:
Then the consciousness is not God but only human!

We are all God's consciousness on earth as God created Adam and breath the soul into him.

God CRAETED Adam. God did not create his consciousness. His consciousness is God. It's like , say, you have the ability to astral project. Then while at Ibadan you astral project to Lagos while still at Ibadan. Remember God has the ability to be in more than one place at once

AntiChristian:
Why can't the 100% man part pray to the 100% God part of Jesus and not to the father?

Jesus praying to the father means he had no God part in himself!

The Holy Spirit and the father not man means they were never one with Jesus! If they were one with Jesus then they ought to be man like Jesus!

You are not looking at it the right way. The first thing you must bear in mind is that this is not describable in human terms.
Here's a way to look at it.
God sends his consciousness to earth to have a full experience of a human. While here his consciousness prays to God because that's what humans do!

Remember that Obasa saga in Lagos house of assembly?
This is the only style of politics Tinubu understands and plays. To him election is by rigging and patronage, not votes!

Zionmdde:
I hope Nigerians can firmly resist any moves to rig 2027 elections. If not it will be full rigging unleashed. They won't even hide it

Ofunaofu:
The APC under Tinubu is no longer the party envisioned by its founding fathers; it now operates a baba sope patronage syndicate fused with drug cartel-style politics

Nigerians won't resist anything. You saw that Obasa case in Lagos assembly. A leader was lawfully removed by overwhelming majority as mandated by law. He ran to Tinubu and was reinstated and those who helped remove him still being punished till now. Do you see any outcry from Nigerians? That's the type of politics Tinubu understands and plays, and Nigerians will not say kpim!
