Money Talks, Bull$hii walks...

Nope...
NATO is a defensive military Alliance. Once Iran makes the first move, try to fvck with USA. They will have France, Germany, UK, Canada among others to contend.
Even without the allies,, Iran is not a perfect match for the USA.

God bless you for this. This is all I’ve been saying. The fact that the US has not invaded Iran yet is because they haven’t gotten any concrete reason to do that. I said in one of my replies above, if Iran gives the US a reason to invade their country, then that’s it for Iran and absolutely NOTHING will happen and someone was saying Iran has allies in China and Russia.... I was just laughing. People confuse the war in the Middle East to a US invasion. Iran might be having a fields day in the Middle East but once US decides to invade, Iran will be lucky to not be sent into oblivion.

mvem:
...You have to look at things critically more to understand International politics ....US can never invade Iran for whatever reason. US is a world power but the presence of China and Russia always check there excesses...As far Russia is solidly behind Iran, then i am telling you US won't do anything....Russia and US always try not to confront each other directly ...Russia and China sees Iran strategically because of where Iran is located....The only thing Russia has to is to deploy there military presence around the Dead sea or strait of Homuz. US is significantly ahead in military strength than any other country but when China and Russia who are super powers are solidly behind you then US won't do much. Why can't US go close to North Korea is just because of China....and please US economically is not ready for any war...Iraq and Afghanistan taught them a great lesson, same reason George Bush became very unpopular in the later stages..America spent so much on wars, my bro it takes billions to fight a war and the American people don't need that now. Infact American policy is withdrawing most of there presence in the middleeast not starting new ones. The best US can do is to instigate uprising in Iran via CIA or use proxies to challenge Iranian government, that's far cheaper and safer...If Russia and China sees Iran as a vital interest to them US won't do much. The only thing meant to be done is to move a China Air carrier or Russia Submarine close to the Iranian waters then everybody will just calm down. Like I told you, these nations will do everything not to directly confront themselves but talk rheteorics...considering how unpopular Iraq war was why will US invade Iran. That is very foolish. War is not a child's play bro....guy I am reading your comments and you have good knowledge of International politics but you get it wrong in many places. The only reason US couldnt and can't depose Assad of Syria is because of Russia. Immediately After the Arab spring US had there way in Libya and some other countries but not Syria. Russia directly involved themselves in Syria because of there personal interest. This made US position so difficult against going strong on Syria. You said Russia has been quiet in Syria ever since until US left, how dare you say so. Russia is the reason Assad still controls more than half of the country if not US would have use the FSA and Kurds to take over the Gov.....Russia used chemical weapons but who are investigating them? The UN and the UN is basically weak and can't do anything to any world power. Infact the UN is basically the 5 veto powers. See the game changers in Iran issue...Russia, China and Turkey who is a NATO member making it very complex. US is very ahead militarily but you make them sound so much powerful seems you are obsess about them or something

Lol... Your comment makes me laugh. And for you to think I’m obsessed with US makes it more funny.

Before US recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, they had to go call a UN summit with the G7 nations which includes Russia and China, but they got voted against, after which they called a UN summit including all the countries but still got voted against, but what happened, they went ahead and recognized Jerusalem as its capital and nothing and no one till today could do anything about it.

About US been schooled by Syria, is not true. US pulled out, go back and watch Trump’s presidential campaign again. Didn’t you notice one of the first thing he did was ban some Islamic countries? See war is about interests and Trump doesn’t have interest in all those Middle East except Israel and he already did what he said he would do there, which is backing Israel and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Last year, the US had issues with Turkey, though it didn’t escalate, but it did what Trump wanted, to let Erdogan know, he’s the one in charge and he mean business and that Turkey is not going to be having a field’s day like they used to. They got checkmated and since then, have you seen Erdogan making mouth like he used to, even tho Russia is an ally? And it was after then that Trump went to Russia to visit Putin after which he was given a football as a gift, which I assure you is not in the White House.

On George Bush’s fallout, do you know his family deals in weapon? The more fight US fights, the more money he makes for his family, that’s why the fallout happened, because the people realized he was making money for his family and not because he has the country’s interest at heart.

Last year, US was directly supplying weapons to Crimea including training their soldiers to fight against Russia, but Putin never said a word, he thought he would be able to conquer Crimea, but he was so wrong and failed. Crimea is still standing today, you know why? Because they had the US backing them.

About North Korea, how long has Kim been building and testing his missiles before Trump came? Let me tell you what you don’t know, while Kim was busy rambling, the US troops were very close to it’s shores, all they needed was a go ahead to invade, they already perfected the plans, with formations and everything (I think they said they want to bring Kim on his knees within 30min or so, don’t really remember anymore) even Kim wasn’t aware. It was when he agreed on the denuclearization that US troops had to leave. With all Kim’s ranting about bombing the US, why didn’t he go ahead? Why didn’t he even bomb the US backed South Korea that is it’s neighbor? If he had, I swear the only time we would be hearing about North Korea will be in history books.

Fine US might be a bully, but they just don’t throw their powers anyhow. US don’t have to brag or drag being the No 1 country with anyone, that’s just who they are. And during Sadam Hussein’s era in Iraq, who do you think was supplying weapons to Sadam while he was fighting his war? Same US that supplied him weapons invaded Iraq that he was building a nuclear weapon, when he resisted arrest, they fueled a protest and arrested him for war crimes. They didn’t grant him access to attorney, and the only person that was allowed to visit him was a doctor when his health was failing until his death was later televised live on tv.

The only reason US is still cool with Russia is because of Trump’s personal relationship with Putin and not because of fears. You think if it was Hillary Clinton, Russia and US, wouldn’t have gone to war. You might think US might not have the financial power to fight wars for now, but pray they don’t have your time and never give them any reason to. Do you even know that Trump has an executive order that can make him invade any country if he deems them a threat to America?

The reason the US are having issues invading Iran is because they still do not feel threatened. If US feels it’s citizens are being threatened, I assure you they will invade Iran and China, Russia and Turkey wouldn’t do a thing. Since Iran has been making mouth about owning a nuclear weapon, has Trump ever been like this? Why is it now that they launched a missile close to it’s embassy. Bro America don’t joke with their citizen, America can go to war because of just one citizen and they will be justified. See they don’t even need much, Iran should just bomb the US’ embassy and let’s see what will happen, that’s when you will know Russia and China are just ally when it comes to all those their middle eastern neighbors and not against the US... Libya was part of Middle East and one of the dominant country including Iran, Egypt etc when US invaded, and NOTHING happened. Even Obama had to say that was the only thing he regretted during his regime.

The reason US hasn’t gone to war with Russia and China is because of the NATO agreement and not out of fear. When you think you have an ally, it’s against other countries, but definitely not against US because you will be left so disappointed when the US decides to treat your f@$k up

chineloSA:
Does he honestly think China and Russia will stand aside and watch

America dismally lost in Syria and it's the biggest embarrassment to the biggest bully.

Lol... I laugh at you people’s comments on here.... You all should know that war is about interest. During Trump and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns, Trump said he was going to pull out of Syria as he’s tired of Americans being caught up and killed in a war between Muslims and that if they want to kill each other, they can, but he wouldn’t put US’ troops at risk, but Hillary on the other hand said she was going to make Syria a “No Flight” zone and any aircraft over Syria’s airspace would be shot on sight, but oh well, we knew how that ended. So when Trump became the president, he recalled all US troops in Syria, some from Afghanistan and Iraq, which gave Russia the opportunity to feel like a king in Syria... Did you even ask yourself why Russia was silent until US moved out of Syria? Did you even know Russia was investigated for using chemical weapon on Syrians? Why didn’t they do that before Trump pulled their troops out? Why did you think the investigation of Trump’s alleged collusion with the Russians came from?

See the truth is, no country in the world at the moment, can ever go head to head with the US, it’s always going to be a failed attempt. Israel is busy bombing and killing Palestinians, but no one dared to talk, not even the UN, you know why? Because they are been backed by the US. The UN voted against the US recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but the US still moved it’s embassy to Jerusalem, but no one could say anything, not even Russia or China the alleged power houses, but if it were with another country, US might have probably invaded by now.

No matter how sophisticated the Iranian weapons are, believe me the US are still miles ahead. You people just think US just make threats for nothing. See as we’re all on here talking about this, the US troops are advancing towards Iran on a ghost mode and busy training, making formations and simulating how to invade Iran right now. US will invade and bomb Iran and NOTHING will happen. Russia and China will only talk about it, but won’t do any thing.

Why did Iran fire missiles just miles to the embassy? They should have just bombed the embassy instead and let’s see how it’s going to end. All US needs is an excuse to bomb and invade Iran and I’m sure Iran won’t be that stupid to give them the reason to. There was a sponsored protests in Iran recently, but Rouhani was wise to not fall for it. If he had, US would use that opportunity to invade Iran, arrest him and give him the “Saddam Hussein’s treatment”...

All of you saying some countries (especially Russia and China) would support Iran will end up disappointed and it’s the people that will suffer it. Even Japan are still feeling the after effect of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs decades after. You people should not push the US into sending Iran to oblivion.

But all in all... War is not what we need, Let peace reign.

Which side in Ibadan and how much?

wow!

I've always been enticed about anything that has to do with space and aliens and I really do like your compilations... I was brought here by your post that recently made fp and I decided to check your profile if I'd see more of something like that and I am not disappointed and that is why I'm posting a comment right now.
Please do not let the mods not pushing your posts to fp deter you. They'd rather push a post about indecency to fp rather than this, sacrificing quality/learning for views... And then ask for source like everyone should just plagiarize or lift contents from other sources and then dump them on here. Like people cannot make researches on their own and then post it. I understand that they have to fight fake news, but then even with the sources, have they not pushed lots of fake news to the fp?
Please just keep doing what you love because from your moniker and most of your post, I realized that posts like this is what you enjoy doing. Please keep it up.

The only building that I heard would be compensated along the road is bembo games village buildings, cos it is the only one with C of O in the area. The rest na OYO

Seems you know about the area, I guess Bajot shopping complex will also be compensated.

Sarcasm01:
Pls, is it the road from Odo-ona to Moor to Apata?

No sir, it starts from Apata, to Bembo area

More pictures of building that are marked for demolition, those that have been demolished and those currently been demolished...
Due to this, there has been a problem for car owners and bike men to move easily and it is advisable to use another route.

Lalasticlala, Dominique, mynd44 and other mods please help put this on front page so that people can be aware of this.

Late last year, the Oyo State governor, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, made a promise to dualize Apata-Bembo road, a road that is going to link with Alao-Akala express way which leads to New-Garage area and to that effect, a notice was passed to everyone involved that work would commence on the 7th of January 2019. Well just as he promised, work have started and below are some of the pics from the area...

Pictures will be posted soon.

lalasticlala, mynd44 ishilove and other mods, what do you all think about this info?

your email

... Thanks and God bless.

I hope it's not late for me to please get it. I'd appreciate if I can. Thanks

There are so many things to consider before going into marriage. You said you earn 80k per month which is still ok being single, but then, I will have to ask about your own family and your girl's. If she doesn't have something that brings her money and if she seems to have people dependent of her and if you're also the one taking care of your parents and/or siblings, please you need to sit, think and plan again because that's going to cause a constraint to you being able to move out of there to a better and condusive place when you start having kids as you may not be able to save enough after you must have given everyone their own share of your salary. That being said, it's still very ok to start from there considering that you have plans of moving into a better place soon, not because of yourself, but because of your woman and kid(s)... So yes you can do that but then with the mindset that you're going to move into a better place before you start having kids or at most before your first child clocks 1.... Good luck with whatever you decide on.

MadamExcellency:
The EFCC act says a single transaction of N500,000 for individuals and N1,000.000 for cooperations may be (liable to be) reported to EFCC by the bank and not anything lesser.

I laugh at how silly people could be on nairaland just to make their claim seem right... N500,000 for individuals and N1,000,000 for corporations? That must be a joke right? Well for your information, it is equivalent of $10,000 for individuals and $15,000-$20,000 for corporations. And that is excluding aboki(dom) accounts tho. So before you post trash on here to mislead people just because of your sentiments, use your head and make findings. Besides if you could post on here, then that shows you have access to google.
Peace!!!

Prof Bolaji Akinyemi is becoming old and I think senility is setting in gradually. Under this same 1999 constitution, OBJ saved up to $67billion in our reserve and ECA, Late President Yar'adua also saved little. No one blamed them for saving, they weren't jailed for flouting the constitution. GEJ came, oil sold for more than $100/barrel for 4 out of his over 5 years in the saddle, he didn't save. One old man is helping hi to adduce reason for his failure to save, blaming the constitution. Yes the constitution didn't allow him to save but it allowed him to waste his earnings for 5 years and like a marauder, plundered our reserves on his devilish 2nd term agenda, shame on GEJ and all of you that are supporting his Squandermaniac administration.

Stop being ignorant just because you want to make a point... When GEJ wanted to save, it was these same opposition governors that took him to court to share the money, a case which they won against him which made him share the money... Stop posting misleading info here. When NOI said Nigeria lacks the political will to save, she wasn't referring to GEJ not willing to save, she was referring to the constitution.

Allah and Yahweh are not stupid. It's some of those that are too stupid to read the Quran or Bible that ends up doing that. Have you noticed that this act is primarily in the North? That is because instead of them to get their Quran to read, all they do is just to their imams and all he says is what they believe. Why are other Muslims (mostly Southwest) not acting like that? It's because most of the parents, makes their child(ren) to study the Quran with the help of maybe an Imam and not just relying on the teachings by the Imam. But in the North that is hardly done and it is done by the educated ones or those with little formal education.

Trump is insanely real!!!

Since Nigerians in diaspora help campaign to make Buhari our president and therefore bringing this hardship upon us, can we help them make Trump the president so that he can deport them back home so we can face the hardship together?
