Ogaga87: Where did you get your information from that aided your comment.. Plane that crashed with seconds of departure and carrying 140 Iranians of the total 180 passengers.. The crash took place on Iran soil
arafhan: [color=#006600][/color] Iranians have the largest number of casuality numbering about 80, the remaining are of other nationality. I don't know why you guys like commenting on things you have no knowledge of
Mr knowledge, which one do you have? I don't know why you guys like commenting on things you have no knowledge on. You are guilty of your own comment. You better go educate yourself. Ode.
Dpharisee: These porn posters don't get tired, despite all the curses heaped upon their heads, Seun should upgrade this site fast. Many Decent People here have run into trouble while browsing NL for news and suddenly people standing behind will see porn pictures pop up and easily conclude they are watching porn on their systems.
Meanwhile, back to the topic, it seems America is at a fix, luckily, there was no American life lost in the Iranian retaliatory strike except damage to helicopters and facilities at the US base. At least Iran can save face. Any further US attack will see Iran hitting US bases in Dubai UAE and Haifa Israel as they have threatened which can draw those countries into a wider conflict. We call on Trump to deescalate the tension and keep his masculine ego in check for the sake of citizens of Iran and USA.
Russia has the best air defence systems (S-400) contrary to what US has been telling the world about their over priced Patriot missile defence systems which failed Saudi Arabia during an Iran backed Houthi drone strike that cut its oil production by half and failed them again yesterday in Iraq, it means that Iran is aware of its capabilities to hit targets, mind you, Iranians have spent the last 40 years preparing for a day like this and Persians are the most technologically advanced group in the Middle East after Israel. In an open war America will win against Iran but they will be seriously bloodied, it will be a victory they will not be able to celebrate. Let cool heads take control now.
Lol. You think the US announces weapons like other countries? Go and read history. Every war is a never seen before weapons.
Even the helicopters flown to kill Bin laden are still classified.
Blindersoff: There is more to all this than meets the eye. In 2015 Russia committed to share intelligence with Iraq, iran, Lebanon and Syria and this was aimed at fighting ISIS as a team.
Russia was an ally based on this and they presented this to the UN security council and at the same meeting U.S. Central Command confirmed that a Syrian rebel commander who recently completed the U.S. train-and-equip program did in fact turn over U.S. supplied equipment to Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate. The equipment included six trucks and ammunition supplies approximately 25 percent of the equipment provided by the coalition to the group of rebels. The rebel commander said it was given to an intermediary for Jabhat al-Nusra in exchange for safe passage and that the rebels still possess their U.S.provided weapons.
US has been the weapon sponsor of terrorism in the middle east and this excuse above was just a cover up for what they actually did. They did it knowingly and not in error.
USA is a criminally minded country who only thrive off conflict and wars. Without wars USA cannot grow. What was a rebel doing being trained by USA and for what purpose?
You need a US Visa? Most weapons in the middle east are from China and Russia. Check all of their guns, did you see US guns. The US do not use AKs and 1970s Mortar.
It's pretty simple, can I be forced to sell my inheritance?
My late pop passed away 4 years ago, he had 11 surviving children from 4 wives, me and my younger brother were the last kids from the last wife...
He left a house in Lagos which we presently reside in but in recent times it's been the topic of sale by other siblings.... our stance remain 'NO SELLING'
Additional info
1-Me and my bro are in our early and mid 20's,we live in one of the apartments
2-The remaining siblings all have families of their own outside Lagos
3- Money is obviously the Motive for selling, but its emotional and psychological for us, dunno if this count, but id also add that my younger brother is a 'son of the soil"here, schooled here and erythane before pop passed, 3 of the siblings have never been here before. Older folks call popman "Baba Shade" we only met at the burial...
We had a Family meeting/reunion mid last year and the house was thrown in a debate, while majority of my siblings choose to sell the house, me, my brother and our eldest brother(2nd born) were against selling...
However, my elder bros and i spoke on new year day and i got to know his stance had changed concerning no selling, he cited heavy pressure from other siblings and he is very tired. And maybe he needs money too...
Which prompted my creation of the thread and asking "can our house be sold without our consent" considering we are in the minority for team "no selling"
Can we be forced to sell? despite having no intentions to do so, and how does the legal system cover for us...
N/B- there is no discord or fight or anything among siblings, we all live in peace and contact mostly through phone calls sometimes.....
You better sell before they start praying over you or consulting IFA. The minds that need money during NEXT LEVEL period will do anything. As a parent, if you have inheritance that can not be distributed equally, just sell and share the money with the kids. Go and build your own legacy.
Wisdom Ko, Wisdom Ni. Nobody killed Iranian Armies and Nuclear Scientists than Israeli and their MOSSAD. They do theirs silently. Like accident, suicide, assassinations in Iran itself.
CaptainMeks: As part of the incendiary and escalating crisis surrounding the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, there has come an explanation of why the Iranian commander was actually in Baghdad when he was targeted by a US missile strike.
Iraq’s prime minister revealed that he was due to be meeting the Iranian commander to discuss moves being made to ease the confrontation between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia – the crux of so much of strife in the Middle East and beyond.
Adil Abdul-Mahdi was quite clear: “I was supposed to meet him in the morning the day he was killed, he came to deliver a message from Iran in response to the message we had delivered from the Saudis to Iran.”
The prime minister also disclosed that Donald Trump had called him to ask him to mediate following the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad. According to Iraqi officials contact was made with a number of militias as well as figures in Tehran. The siege of the embassy was lifted and the US president personally thanked Abdul-Mahdi for his help.
There was nothing to suggest to the Iraqis that it was unsafe for Soleimani to travel to Baghdad – quite the contrary. This suggests that Trump helped lure the Iranian commander to a place where he could be killed. It is possible that the president was unaware of the crucial role that Soleimani was playing in the attempted rapprochement with the Saudis. Or that he knew but did not care.
One may even say that it is not in the interest of a president who puts so much emphasis on American arms exports, and whose first official trip after coming to office was a weapons-selling trip to Saudi Arabia – during which he railed against Iran – to have peace break out between the Iranians and the kingdom. But that would be far too cynical a thought.
Abdul-Mahdi spoke of his disappointment that while Trump was expressing his gratitude over the mediation, he was also simultaneously planning an attack on Soleimani. That attack took place not long after the telephone call from the president.
There is also the possibility that the US military planners knew nothing about the conversations between Trump and Abdul-Mahdi, and took out Soleimani when the opportunity presented itself.
There may be credence to this, if one follows the narrative which is emerging from defence and intelligence officials in Washington: that the assassination option presented to Trump was bound to be refused, as it had been by his predecessors in the White House. And that there was a desperate scramble to track down Soleimani when, much to their shock, Trump ordered the hit.
What does the Iran crisis mean for Trump’s impeachment?
The existence of the talks between the Saudi and the Iranians and, more importantly, the threat of impending violence, has meant reaction in Riyadh at the killing has been markedly muted.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, not a stranger to sabre rattling, has sent his younger brother, deputy defence minister Khalid bin Salman, to Washington to urge restraint.
The very real risk of the region becoming a arena for conflict has led to rare cooperation in the stand-off between the Saudi-led Gulf block and Qatar, whose foreign minister was dispatched to Tehran with a similar appeal for calm.
In Tehran, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met with Iranian president Hassan Rouhani to discuss “measures to maintain the security and stability of the region,” the state-run Qatar News Agency reported. While in the UAE the foreign minister, Anwar Gargash, called for “rational engagement”, tweeting: “wisdom and balance must prevail.”
As well as being in danger of getting caught in the crossfire of a war between the US and Iran, the Arab states in the region are vulnerable to Tehran’s allied militias – in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria. There is concern whether the US, after unleashing a wave of missiles, would do anything when retribution is taken on its partner countries.
The Saudis learned only too clearly last summer that one cannot always depend on American commitment, when drone and missile attacks on oil-processing facilities in the kingdom halved oil production. Trump directly blamed Iran for the attacks but there was no American military response, just as there has not been to the many attacks on the kingdom from the Houthis in Yemen.
In the light of all this Khalid al-Dakhil, a Saudi political sociologist, pointed out: “Saudi Arabia and all the Gulf countries are just quiet. They don’t want to antagonise the Iranians, because the situation in the region is so delicate, so divided, so sensitive, that you don’t want to stir it up further.”
Robert Emerson, a British security analyst, said that it was clear why caution was prevailing. “You don’t know whether Trump will just light the blue touchpaper and then just disappear,” he said. “The Arab states are right to be wary. The talk about Iran and Saudi negotiations is intriguing, further details should be emerging.’’
The Trump administration continues to insist that Soleimani was killed because he was about to launch an imminent terror campaign, without providing any evidence for the assertion. There is increasing scepticism about the claim and the questions are not going to go away. There are too many memories of Saddam Hussein and his non-existent WMD arsenal. The repercussions from the assassination in Baghdad will continue for a very long time.
Southsoul: I don't need to spell you to believe me but then that's the truth those two Nations are strongly thirsty to bring America to her kneel just wait let the war start then you will know that Nations that is angry with America is many
At least, all the angry Nations cannot defeat NATO - (Plus Russia and China)
One4me: I dont think the Iranians are even afraid of the US weapons! They are not afraid to die because they are already living below the broderline, with all the US sanctions on them. It is Americans that cherish life and dont want even one hair in their body to be scorched.
This is why l said it is a bad idea to fight someone who has nothing to lose! They are usually suicidal. Iran is suicidal right now, and rightly so but the question is HOW MANY CASUALTIES can the US take?
iran already said they woudl retalliate and they did, showing that they know the consequence of their action. they are even advising the US not to escalate any firther since the scor eis 1 - 1 already!
It is no 1- 1. All the bombs did not kill anyone. They know it will be their end.
byrron: Was just listening to Barbra Star a Pentagon correspondent on CNN now and she is saying that Iran has an unprecedented amount of ballistic missiles with extended and deadly capabilities and it is a source of concern.
Perilous time's indeed.
We did not tell Iran not use them, they should just be ready for the consequences. The deterrence had been communicated.
Trapping: US will pay dearly for this folly. Killing a government official OPENLY (Not in a war theatre) and admitting to it is the most foolish thing that has been done since world warII.
What Trump had effectively done by Killing Soleimani is that he has established that in this war of attrition between nations killing foreign diplomats is a fair game.
I repeat US will regret this action, and this may hurt trumps chance of reelection. Iran is no pushover!!
TobsAutos: Why didn’t you prosecute them.. A lot of lawyers out there to handle your case pro bono... And to be honest,I dislike PMB,but the Justice system has some sanity now under his watch
Nigerian laws does not work like that.
My lawyers already wrote Femab they never responded. Doing a petition to EFCC soon and escalating things to court case and soldier for their marketing manager.
The Memcos case is in court. We were only paid back 10%. Forget the rest. It was the Exco that embezzled the fund.
Any time you want to buy land, always buy land that you can put blocks on immediately.
I have lost money on the following: 2 lands in Mowe 1 in Magboro 1 Flat allocation with Memcos Estate by MTN 1 land beside Amen Estate 1 Land in Ikorodu by Set Homes 1 Land in Diamond Estate Sangotedo by Femab. Some of these are well know companies. It does not matter.
I have given up on this country. If I had spent my money on the US real estate, I should be rolling in Milli.
After being scammed by Femab Properties in Diamond Estate, MTN Memcos for flats allocation, I will never touch any Estate Land again in Lagos. Land of Scammers.
OROSUNBOLB: Omo iya olobo rirun ! That you had time to count the number of words I wrote shows just how jobless you are ! Better go and fix whatever that is eating you up and stop barking up and down like a mad dog that you are !

LegendHero: To the people that dosen't know much about the timeline of event between USA and Iran, and those of you that always claim Iran are terrorists for standing up against bullies, let me summarize a few:
During the 1950s, USA was wary of communism and trying to clip the hands of the soviet union (communists) around the world.
During the 1950s, the British owned Anglo-Iranian oil company (Now known as British Petroleum) controlled Iran's oil refining capacity.
In 1951, the Iran government under PM Mohammed Mossadegh told the British that majority of the funds from the refined oil should go to Iranians, the British rejected the idea, the Iran government responded by nationalizing the British refinery in the city of Abadan.
Winston Churchill UK new PM was furious about this and he suggested to the CIA (USA) that the Iran communist party (Tudeh) is getting powerful and that they are taking over the country. The USA feared a communist country and they were drafted into Iran's case.
In 1953, the US and UK jointly began a coup against Iran in Operation Ajax (Planned from the USA embassy in Tehran), this coup deposed Mossadegh and put the power in the hands of the Shah. The Shah ruled with an absolute monarchy (Iran was practicing democracy before the coup).
People hated the Shah because they see him as a western puppet, also accused him of unpopular policies coupled with the harassment from his secret police called SAVAK. The SAVAK were trained mostly by American and Israeli military.
In 1979, Islamic revolution happened in Iran installing Ayatollah Khomeini. The people knew the USA planned the earlier coup from the USA embassy in Tehran, so to make the new revolution succeed further, they laid a 444-day hostage crisis in the embassy. Iran became enemies to the USA. Although conspiracy theories said USA supported Ayatollah indirectly (USA has always been double faced).
During the Iran-Iraq 8-years war. US heavily arms Iraq to oust increasingly successful Iran and then secretly armed Iran too to save them from Iraq. The Iraqis were led by Sadam-Hussein.
The west later fell-out with Sadam Hussein and invaded Iraq. The USA noticed that Iraq and Iran are starting to get closer because the majority Shia of Iran were visiting the holy sites in Iraq as the Baathist regime was removed. Ties grew between Iran and the new Iraq.
The USA accuses Iran of supporting terrorism because they are opposing the USA continued presence in Iraq. Iran school of though was that if USA remains in Iraq successfully, then they can invade Iran in the future.
George Bush label Iran as the axis of evil and they were accused of building atomic weapon. The USA sanctioned them and the Iranians signed an agreement that they will not pursue atomic weapon for 10 years if sanctions were lifted in 2009.
Trump broke the treaty, increased pressure on Iran which led to the current provocations and hullabaloo.
USA has a powerful weapon of the media. The always label opposing minds terrorist and with the current stigma on Islam, it is not hard to convince people. For all of you, Buhari labelled Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist which all of us knew he was not. If the USA suddenly drop a bomb on Nnamdi Kanu due to that pronouncement will you be happy?
Note: I love USA coz they are a great country but sometimes they use their power to oppress the weak. Truly this world politics is like the animal jungle where the powerful oppress the weak.
Let us educate you as well: This is from Iranian born.
OROSUNBOLB: Oloriburuku omo ale ! You are just an inconsistent stup..I'd liar! I bursted your fake double life here and that's the bone of contention. I never knew a "Yankee" could speak Yoruba language until you started your ewi here !
Emi atawon baba e legbe . I've achieved already ,and still waxing strongly,whatever you or any of your poverty stricken generation can ever dream of attaining in life.
What is my business and that of my family with whatever Mr Buhari is doing to your likes in Nigeria? Mi o ran 'ya yin o ! Did I participate in the fraud you called election in Nigeria ? My point is stopping calling yourself what you are not actually. That is a fraud ! Some of us here can help you guys if you need one but your fraudulent nature won't make you voice out. The truth is that none of your family has ever stepped out of Nigeria before.
Come off my mention stu.pid wannabe ! I can take you out of Nigeria before Buhari finishes your life and that of your family members only if you can humble yourself.
Pained again . You wrote 300 words. I am getting there . I am really under your skin. You that never solve your family problems wants to solve someone else. Cant you see you are cursed.
Omo Olosho oooooooooooooooooooooooo. Iya re fobo Jona Mama PVSY BURN FIRE Omo po bi OSAN.
