Rilwayne001:
Palestinians won.

State of Palestine is now recognized by Canada, UK, France and Australia amongst others.

Without this war, that would not have been possible
Read your history, Two State solution would have solved all of these if not for the ideology of Arafat. Oct 7 was uncalled for, the IDF bombardment of Gaza for the past 2 years was a waste....lots of innocent women and children, city of Gaza destroyed, and you talk of recognition of State of Palestine? It's not worth it...

Arabs living freely in Israel? Lol

Arab-Israeli you mean? Yes there are some of them who wouldn't leave when the Zionists encircled them and choose to stay.

Now, do a small research and let us know the numbers of Palestinians held in Israeli prison.

I will wait...

LOL....Hamas leave Gaza.
What about all the people whose relative were killed.....
Israel forever has a worse group than Hamas.
Hamas is the least of Israel's problem now....The whole world hates them.
This "first phase" of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, has been met with a mix of relief and hope for Palestinians. Isreal is not a group like you mentioned, it's a sovereign nation defending her citizens from Hamas. Note, it's between Isreal and Hamas.

yinkus6750:
While I comment Wikes effort in terms of performance, his personal political style is totally different
A leader is to serve his people and lead with exemplary character.
His outburst at every given opportunity is somehow alien to modern day politics.
Let him deal naturedly with his political enemies and opponents.
This touches on issues of perceived decorum, respect, and humility expected of a high-ranking public official. The concern is that his communication style is divisive, aggressive, arrogant, undermining the substance of his work, that is his basic duties as a Minister.
For his performance, it's superficial. Maybe you can point to his achievement aside demolishing structures and building roads, which like I said earlier are basic duties. Wike like most of our political office holders lack basic leadership traits. Umahi's shameful interview the other day is a pointer to this fact....

PoliticsRe: Umahi Clashes With Arise Tv’s Rufai Oseni Live On Air: Who Are You? Keep Quiet! by smtx(m): 9:54pm On Oct 07, 2025
The question of Oseni Rufai's journalistic style and efficacy is frequently raised due to his impactful interviews. He possesses a notable ability to penetrate the guarded facades of high-profile leaders who often carry significant political ego. Regardless of his formal academic background Animal Science , his approach consistently demonstrates a mastery of sharp, direct questioning that dismantles carefully constructed political narratives. His success lies in his capacity to hold people in power strictly accountable, a role that often leaves political figures visibly challenged and struggling to maintain their composure in the face of rigorous public scrutiny...see Umahi talking about Professor in practice, someone needs to explain that to me please.

Rufai can't be rude to people and be thinking he's always right. His question is not logical.

When you budget for a road projects, there are unseen things in the initial plans, that's why the budget is always over estimated

For example, there are new linking roads to the Lagos Calabar coastal highway which wasn't in the initial plan
Now that you just explained it, why was it so hard for the egocentric minister to answer instead of telling us he is a professor by practice....whats that?

owobokiri:
My post does not in any way make excuses for the atrocious conducts of Hamas in their brazen and iniquitous attack on Isreal that led to this carnage. I am surprised that most of those who quoted me on this seem to think i was making excuses for Hamas. I am not! Hope you guys can be a little open minded when you read these sort of posts..

My post was made to draw attention to such possibilities. If you take into consideration the remarkable sophisticated abilities of the highly renowned Isreali military machinery, and how simple some of those security breaches were on that day, you would start to ask "questions".

I have always believed that unless the middle east issues are throughly resolved in a way that is acceptable to both the Isrealis and the Palestinians, it will always be unworkable to have a Hamas rulled Gaza next door to Isreal.., hence the "reason" why Isreal may think of eliminating Hamas no matter what it takes aince peace seem elusive....

But then what do I know?
I am just a bloody civilian..

Have a nice day, bro..
I get your point bro, but my argument is that even the most meticulously designed systems whether intellectual or mechanical are vulnerable to sudden, cascading failure is a critical philosophical point, brilliantly explored in Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park. The underlying principle is that catastrophe often results not from malicious intent, but from simple, compounding errors, omissions, and unforeseen interactions a concept powerfully demonstrated by the sinking of the Titanic. Till now the real reason behind Windows "blue screen of death" is yet to be explained by Microsoft - instead they released a more stable Windows 10! So my point is trying to assign deliberate malice via conspiracy theories (such as claims of foreknowledge in 9/11 or October 7th) distracts from the vital task of understanding true systemic flaws and intelligence gaps. We must accept that no system is perfect, acknowledge where critical errors occurred, and move forward decisively.

However, the tragic reality is that people, particularly innocent children are dying everyday. Given the moral urgency of the situation, the most immediate and effective path to ending the carnage is not theoretical debate or walk out as some world leaders did yesterday, but forcing Hamas to surrender unconditionally. The international community must prioritize this simple act to immediately save lives.

Thanks bro, have a splendid weekend!
Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Hacks Every Phone In Gaza To Beam Netanyahu UN Speech by smtx(m): 11:42am On Sep 27, 2025
owobokiri:
That should tell you that Isreal must have known about the Hamas attack but decided to let it happen since that will give them a good excuse to do what they are doing now; eliminate Hamas. Most people who should know, including Charlie Kirk, have insisted that Isreal moat probably "stood down" military actions during the "Hamas Attack".

If you really think that Isreal was taken unawares, you are joking. They had the army in thousands near Hamas territories, they had their informants all over Gaza and the West Bank, they basically control communications in those two areas too.

The socalled "Hamas attack" might have been a MOSSAD job to instigate worldwide anti Hamas/Palestinian sentiments, as a prelude to using the Isreali military to "wash off" any Palestinian presence in Gaza and the West Bank. The Isreali dead being "collaterals"...
Your assertion that Israel would knowingly allow such a catastrophic failure to occur, sacrificing its own population to garner sympathy from international leaders who have historically been reluctant or critical of Israel’s position is strategically unsound and defies political logic. Its a baseless conspiracy theory. Same with 9/11 which is often polluted by conspiracy theories, including claims of foreknowledge by the targeted governments, ridiculous!
However, regardless of the continuous global criticism or the persistence of anti-Jewish sentiment, the operational focus of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) remains singularly directed at national security and the protection of its citizens. The core message is unwavering: the military mission will not cease until the hostages are returned. This response is rooted in the fundamental obligation of any sovereign nation to protect its people and ensure their security. Hamas who initiated the hostilities, the consequences of their actions are now unavoidable.
Foreign AffairsRe: Prime Minister Netanyahu Addresses World Leaders ( Video) by smtx(m): 7:05am On Sep 27, 2025
The utility of this walkout makes no sense when considering the underlying legal strategy of the dissenting parties. These so-called leaders are still motivated to review the full address post-event to gather material, such as specific quotes from Netanyahu, that could potentially serve as evidence in future proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) related to accusations of genocide. From my view, the walkout I say it again makes no sense than direct action of use of this diplomatic energy to focus international pressure on Hamas to immediately release the hostages, an action that directly addresses the immediate crisis in Gaza. Even Gazans are protesting against Hamas!

Says someone that has never left the shore of Nigeria.

are you talking about US that couldn't defeat Talibans for 20 years or which America? the same America that couldn't win Japan until they used Atomic weapon? America is still the first country to use atomic weapons to wipe out civilians and most of you delulu folks still think that Islamic countries shouldn't own nuclear warheads? You guys are so delusional and brainwashed to the core.
Following that devastating conflict, both nations recognized the costly nature of prolonged enmity and the use of Nukes in warfare. Japan learnt the necessity of adopting peaceful resolution and aligning strategically with democratic powers, while the United States internalized the lesson of the terrible effect of Nukes and responsibility of post-war reconstruction. This shared realization led to the establishment of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, forging an alliance that remains one of the world's most critical strategic and economic partnerships today and you here on Nairaland crying over Japan who had gone past that phase!

Thundafireseun:
He was talking to himself…

We saw the video … the world leaders walked out on him
The statement was specifically addressed to Hamas and its sympathizers, based on the anticipation that the video would be reviewed by all parties involved. The simple resolution to the current crisis is presented as straightforward: Hamas must release the hostages. However, the collective effort and energy observed in walk-out demonstrations at the UN General Assembly, would be more effectively utilized in pressuring Hamas for the immediate release of the hostages, thereby bringing an end to the conflict.

How can he be protecting Christianity and supporting Israel when Israel persecutes Christians? Jews live peacefully in "terrorist" Islamic Iran ...and so do Christians ... but don't in Israel...so how is supporting Christianity? Mental slavery is real.

@ topic. This man is a one man wrecking machine ....wrecking America. The one thing I'll give him A for is electing RFK as HHS .... and allowing him to clamp down on the out of hand health agencies .
It seems you’re being either sentimental or dishonest. How can Jews and Christians live freely in Iran while liberal Muslims face persecution? Ahmad Moin-Shirazi’s flight from Iran is a clear example. As for Trump, he isn’t wrecking America; in fact, some of his policies are proving effective. Take the case of strict border regulations, it has addressed longstanding concerns about illegal immigration, national security, and economic stability. People may argue about the methods and seek redress via the courts, but the results show that stronger enforcement has had measurable impacts. Rather than merely dismissing everything under his administration, it’s important to recognize where policies are working, even if one disagrees with his overall style or manner of approach.

Hygiene is important, not just for our surroundings, but also for personal cleanliness and the tools we use. Sometimes vendors take their time to clean the gutters you just talked about but your guys.... Na! They can take a pee or poo there as far as there is a rubber kettle around. Consider the napkin the seller uses to wipe their hands before cutting suya or collecting your money, or the condition of the containers and kettles used by a Mai shayi. These are practices that have become normalized,

These individuals may seem unaffected by these unsanitary conditions, but that doesn't mean the same is true for everyone. These your guys see well water as normal drinkable water, they take it as normal....the video of mangoes kept inside gutters to ripen them comes to mind, and just recently a video of cement used to preserve beans.... Damn!
