Iran doesn’t have military bases in close proximity to US to carry out such attacks

Make Iran sef dey develop am ,the world is run by power not by permission.

If US can have bases close to Iran ,Iran too can have bases close to US .

No one owns the world.

Make Iran sef threaten to bomb critical infrastructure in US and countries helping US Na.

The big question is how many km is Zuba to Madalla we're overhyping .
We should be ashamed a student doesn't have in house but coming to street to do assignment.
There's nothing applaud when Govt perform constitutional responsibility.

Same equation,if past governments have done it ,new government will be doing other things .

No matter how short this particular road is ,let's not forget the government has numerous road projects going on all over the country.

We rejoice about road constructions because past governments failed . We should have been rejoicing about greater infrastructure like steel , manufacturing,space industry by now .

Tinubu second term is done deal 🤝.

orisa37:
WHAT HAVE KUWAIT AND BAHRAIN DONE TO IRAN ? NOTHING.
JUST JEALOUSY AND COVETOUSNESS. IRAN WILL GO THE WAY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

What's jealousy?

So let's assume that this countries are doing better than Iran ,if a rich man slaps a poor man or allows his house to be used to slap a poor man and the poor man responded by attacking that rich man house that was used to attack him ,it means the poor man is jealous?

Also ,you spoke about Sodom and Gomorrah that were destroyed because of sins but you didn't speak about Israel that was destroyed for thousands of years because they lost wars .

Brendaniel:
And all your data have no link to verify them either?

You see why I call you an irrational thinker like Tinubu...

Lol ,guy you you're the one that's an irrational thinker and you're just projecting your insecurity like Peter Obi that said the problem of foreign exchange is foreign exchange because he doesn't know what he's talking about .

Let me help you in case of another day ,in an argument,you can make a claim without external validation,so when the opposing party disagrees with a claim you made ,that's when you can now bring up your source as backup .

So far ,you've not disagreed with anything I said ,I'm the one that even disagreed with one of your data that foreign reserves increased under Jonathan but decreased under Buhari .

Brendaniel:
I didn't read any of those your long posts, sincerely speaking, I made it clear that if there is no data attached then I will count it as lies and pass it.

All these while you have been arguing would have been used to provide your data if you are actually a serious person , you just remind me of Tinubu...

Major on the minor and minor on the major, irrational thinkers with irrational decisions...

Simple to provide data and prove me wrong is looking impossible to you, please prove me wrong...

Lol ,so in your big brain ,data is only provided as a picture ? I laugh in nsobu nsobu .

Brendaniel:
Leave all these nonsense you are writing, just present data to show that you are not lying, that is all...

Is that too hard to present?

So you can't present a single data to back up everything you said, any person can say anything, only data will support anything you have said, anything you have said without data is a lie..

If you claim my data is wrong, present your own to show that my own is wrong, that is how rational thinkers behave...

If I say Obi built 10,000 aeroplanes in Anambra, would you believe me if I don't present data to back it up?

Same way In don't believe you if you don't present data, Like I said I am not an irrational thinker like you and Tinubu...

Please prove me wrong with your own data, is that too hard for you to do?

You're just rambling like a headless chicken ,else you would have gone back to read my post .

But I get you ,you're scared of it .

Brendaniel:
You want me to waste my time reading nonsense lies without any data to back it up?

Are you for real ?

I've noticed something about you Tinubu supporters, you people hate data, because it exposes your lies, present data with your claims and I will read it, you want me to waste my time reading rubbish without any data to back it up...

You called my data erroneous, then provide the right one and prove me wrong...

You think I am an irrational thinker like you and Tinubu?

Lol ,you've seen descending to ridicule since I bursted your lies ,it's a sign of a cornered rat glaring at defeat.

Again,if you're not a lazy thinker churning out face value and erroneous data,you would have gone through my response .

But as usual,obidients are known for creating a scenario in their head and consider it as infallible.

Brendaniel:
The bolded is the only part I read, for you to call data lazy analysis then you are not serious, no wonder Nigeria is the way it is today, because people who reason like you are currently the people in power and they have supporters like you who reason like them

Provide data to back your claim or you keep wasting your time...

You're actually a lazy reader ,that's why you didn't read my response ,you would have found each data that responded with the lazy and erroneous data you provided .

No wonder you can't win an election .

Brendaniel:
Like I said earlier, if you don't present any data to back up your claims, then everything you wrote here is rubbish, provide data to back up your claims to show Buhari performed better, then I will answer you...

Provide data like I have done, no data no response, because you people lie a lot, show me data that Buhari performed better than GEJ...

Don't be a joke,data matters but that's lazy analysis. Data without backstory is just decoration. Even some of the data you presented are wrong ,like in the case of external reserves .


Start with the exchange rate. Yes, the naira fell further under Buhari than under Jonathan. But ask why. Jonathan spent $145 billion defending the naira over five years ,more than any administration in Nigeria's history and still handed over a currency that eventually cracked anyway. Buhari spent less ($125 billion) over eight years and, crucially, didn't hollow out the reserves doing it. In fact, Nigeria's foreign reserves fell to $29.6 billion by the time Jonathan left office. Under Buhari, they climbed as high as $40 billion and closed at $35 billion.

Now the oil price question, because this is the one you skipped .Jonathan governed during one of the biggest oil booms Nigeria has ever seen,prices averaged around $91 a barrel through his tenure, touching over $100 for three straight years. Buhari inherited a collapsed oil market and spent most of his presidency working with roughly $62 a barrel. It's like comparing your lifestyles when your salary was 1m to when it decreased to 500k.

Whatever Buhari built, he built it with roughly a third less money coming in. Whatever Jonathan failed to build, he failed with the tide fully behind him.


Under Jonathan, Boko Haram festered. It abducted 276 schoolgirls from Chibok, seized and held territory across three states, and by 2014 had killed around 6,000 civilians. The government's response was widely seen as slow and directionless this was during the inceptionnstage that it should have been tacked . Buhari came in, brought regional forces to the table, and by 2016 had pushed the insurgency out of the territory it held, declaring it "technically defeated." A war that was being lost got turned around.


Infrastructure tells its own story too, and the Second Niger Bridge is the perfect case study. Jonathan flagged it off in 2014, a ground-breaking ceremony, a promise, a photo op a year before an election. No real funding was ever locked down. Buhari actually cancelled that dead-end contract in 2015, came back with real financing through the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund, and by 2022 the bridge was open. One president gave a speech at the site. The other one built the thing. That's the difference between a promise and a delivery.

What of corruption,the likes of Dasuki ,Oduah ,Madueke etc are still battling corruption cases.


None of this means Buhari's presidency was flawless , but that's exactly the point: nobody wins on every metric. The question is never "who did everything right," it's "who did more right, with less, under harder conditions." Think about it that way ,money available, security inherited, promises versus delivery, embezzelement etc. Buhari comes out ahead on average.

LagosOrigin:
Ozona didn't mention Peter Obi name because he knows that Obi is clean and white like snow.

Tinubu always makes the list of highly corrupt politicians in Nigeria. Infact, tinubu is the father of corruption in Nigeria.

Lol ,or opposition sang a song to abuse people in power but not people that are inconsequential and not in power .

Brendaniel:
It seems like you people's definition of better and worse is skewed to be always negative...

You people's first decision of Buhari was that he was better than GEJ, your second decision was that he was also better than Atiku, then that Tinubu is better than Peter Obi, but the country is the way it is today

You see why I told you earlier on that Nigeria is currently the way it is because of ideological conflict, because if Nigeria is not better off today than it was under GEJ after you people claimed you have chosen the best leaders after him, then you want normal thinking Nigerians to believe you people?

The thing pushing you is an ideology, and it is an ideology that causes you people to lie and convince yourselves to believe and live in that lie as reality, that's why Nigeria is the way it is today but that ideology will never make you accept the truth..

That's what makes you people hate the truth and fight anyone who speaks the truth while you see them as enemies, it is an ideology...

Please if you are to counter my argument, please present them with data like I have done...

You have no idea of negativity and positivity but you just want to gaslight that other peoples choice is negative because it doesn't align with yours .

Your second paragraph is correct .

I will like to see the truth you've present led that I hate or erroneous ideology I've presented ,again this is another gaslight. Doesn't work with me or any sensible person.

Between Trump and Biden ,who do you consider the better president between them ? I will come back to this after you responded.

There are several metrics to judge and you've presented a few so I will respond to that , how much was oil under GEJ and how much was oil under Buhari ? Because that's the major source of revenue to Nigeria which other economic aspects you listed are attached to .


Also ,the foreign reserves data was wrong ,it declined heavily under GEJ but Rose under Buhari .

About insecurity,Buhari fought terrorism more than GEJ but GEJ owns the blame because he allowed it to fester , if it's been nipped at inception , Buhari wouldn't have to handle more insecurities . Also GEJ administration experience a lot of security funds corruption which includes the popular Dasuki 2bm dollars embezzelement and Oritsejafor PJ money laundering.


Also ,Buhari wasn't actually voted because of economic outlook then but because of fight against corruption and terrorism,while Buhari government perform woefully economically even despite COVID 19,there's less corruption compared to GEJ and he fought boko haram decisively which led to rise of banditry because their central hold has been destroyed. Also ,in terms of infrastructure,Buhari performed better .

Now ,when you said we are where we are today despite voting people we considered better ,what you failed to consider is where are we going to be of we had voted for the people you considered better ?

Perhaps bokoharam would have taken over Also rock and economy would have totally collapsed because of naira defense and also definitely all infrastructure would have been degraded and abandoned .

Brendaniel:
Let's even assume Tinubu was not ready, then the person you called a failure performed better than Buhari, but you people voted Buhari in a second term...

So because Tinubu was not ready he supported a worse person twice into office and you people joined him to do it?

Buhari was voted for second term because his contestant Atiku was worse ,it's all about calculation which I think you and your people lacked .

Two ,on what metric was GEJ better than Buhari?

Brendaniel:
Firstly I never asked about GEJ, I was specific with Buhari, secondly Tinubu used his own mouth to say the reason why he supported Buhari was so he could become president after Buhari...

Which means he always had the plan even before supporting Buhari...

Meaning you are admitting that Tinubu on purpose supported someone worse than him all because he wanted to be president and all of you his supporters joined him in the support like you are doing now for him against any other candidate...

You never spoke about GEJ but you asked why Buhari was supported massively ,which was why I said he was suported because GEJ was a failure .

Tinubu saying that he supported Buhari so that he could become president after him doesn't invalidate my response that he wasn't ready when Buhari contested .

Brendaniel:
Let me answer your own question, Atiku was better than Buhari and Peter Obi was not planning to run for president at the time...

So please answer my question...

why then did you people from south west and Tinubu support the one who was worse before supporting Tinubu who you all claim is better to become president?

Now to use your answer to answer , Tinubu also wasn't ready when Buhari contested .

About your claim ,on what metric is Atiku better than Buhari ?

My first response also answer why "we" SWners supported Buhari and also ,GEJ performance was awful ,high corruption,low development and insecurity became full blown under his leadership.

Brendaniel:
So Tinubu is better, why then did you people from south west and Tinubu support the one who was worse before supporting Tinubu who you all claim is better to become president?

Firstly, you don't know where I'm from so I guess you are suffering from ideological issues .

Two ,Peter Obi that you spoke about earlier became popular nationwide when he deputized Atiku ,why didn't he refuse the deputy slot then and contest as a president ? Even though Atiku is still his boss ,he's silently considered as corrupt and incompetent comparer to Obi by Obidients .

Brendaniel:
You are judging someone without a trial, How can you mark someone's sheet without allowing the person write at all?

You see why I said what you are doing like this stems from an ideology...

Let me ask you again, in Tinubu and Buhari, who is better?

There was a trial already ,both Peter Obi and Tinubu were governors .

You can judge how a student will perform in higher class by the exam they wrote in lower classes and how they performed in the entrance examination to higher classes .

Between Tinubu and Buhari ,Tinubu is better .

Enough with the gaslighting and tell us why your position doesn't stems from ideological issues .

Brendaniel:
Let me ask you a question, If Peter Obi was the president today and Nigeria is currently the way it is, and Tinubu had never been president, would you say there is no better alternative to Peter Obi?

If Peter Obi was the president, Nigeria wouldn't have been like this ,it would have been worse ! Therefore I will say that Tinubu is a better alternative to Peter Obi.

geoworldedu:
The leaders will keep being reshuffled among these leaders' families who are corrupt from top to bottom.

Several people have broken through what have they done differently?

I will give you several examples,current governor of Ebonyi was a bricklayer ,a bike man became house of rep recently,Aregbesola was a fridge repairer ...there are several people that came from nothing !

Also,in countries like USA,China etc that are doing well , same set of leaders are being rotated but they're doing well for their countries.

Brendaniel:
They did not face ideological problem, one of the hardest wars to fight is ideological wars, that's why the U.S is failing in almost all the Muslim countries...

And your last line shows you are part of the ideological problem Nigeria is facingn and don't still get the message I'm trying to pass...

As I've said ,you don't know China history ,so go and read first before you talk about China .

About your last paragraph,I will simply ask you to list the better alternative and the alternative that doesn't make you part of the ideological problem Nigeria is facing .

geoworldedu:
How many masses have become leaders since me and you have been in Nigeria? It's the family of the leaders that are becoming leaders, not the masses.

Let me rephrase,it's same Nigerians that become leaders .The same way it happens all over the world .

Brendaniel:
China faced corruption, not ideological conflict, like I do tell people, corruption is not the major problem of Nigeria, bad governance is not the major problem of Nigeria either, they are only products of the major problem which is ideological conflict...

What exposed this very much was Buhari and Tinubu's presidency, it has always been there but hidden, you think most of those who supported Buhari for 8 years did not know he was performing badly?

Do you think those who are supporting Tinubu now don't know he is failing?

They know, but they are supporting him, a lot are not benefiting anything financially, so you might ask, why are they still supporting him?

Because they believe they are getting what they want, and you might ask what are they getting?

Fulfillment, Fulfillment that they have achieved tribal, religious or political supremacy...

And sincerely speaking, that's just what they want, they don't mind if the country burns down and this people are ready to fight to maintain that fulfillment.

If you are thinking the things happening in Nigeria today are happening by accident, you are very wrong, this is what some people want, they have never felt more fulfilled about Nigeria like they are doing now...

I didn't mention any region, but I know your mind is giving you directions....

We don't share the same ideology, what we want is not the same...

You don't know what China suffered ,I will advise you read their history starting from emperor Cheng to how the country was colonised and suffered tremendous poverty .

Before Tinubu ,Nigeria has been failing and there's no current better alternative to Tinubu's presidency .

Brendaniel:
Fight with who?

All the examples you mentioned were external aggression, Nigeria is not fighting any external country, Nigeria is fighting a war within itself, and when I mean war, it is not just the insecurity, but education, politics, economical, tribal, religious and so on.

And the reason is we don;t share the same ideologies as regions, how can a country that disagrees on almost everything regionally, politically and religiously work together to build it...

There is a bigger problem than just building it, there is no unity of purpose, we don't share the same ideology...

We don't share ideology or purpose correct.

But China faced internal problems like ours and they are now a superpower .

geoworldedu:
Building the country must start from the leaders and it will go down to everyone. If the masses want to build the nation without their leaders leading the way, it leads nowhere. Can you explain one way you can build the nation?

It's the masses that become leaders .

USA was built mostly by capitalists.

This post says much without addressing the issue . We can't all Japa and we need to build our country to prevent future japa.

National loyalty transcend individual gains ,we see how citizens stay in their country during hard times ,example includes recent war in Iran against 11 countries,it got to a point they were even threatened with nuke but their resolved wasn't broken ,the same applies to USA against British colonialists .

If we can't all collectively fight for our country because the odds are not in our favour,then who will ?

Racoon:
Says the worst defamer who ended up the worst disaster ever to befall a nation. There is no imaginable insult, lies, propaganda and fabrication Tinubu didn't said or do to Jonathan. However, he was not dealt with.

Give example of what he said that's a defamation against Jonathan .

frankyychiji:
Please where did you read this in post? I read "replacement".

My bad ,on second check ,I see that I was wrong .
