I’m not after that, check the thread and don’t derail, and hezbollah, hamas, houthis a torn in Saudi is like an enemy of my enemy is my friend like situation. Hamas n iran got common enemy, so they work together to bring down the enemy so it’s like half partnership and half Iranian proxy because iran provide more in the relationship, that’s story 4 another day for now my problem is with those hyping Israel over iran.
How does Iran and hamas have the same enemy? Is Iran laying claim to Jerusalem too? It simply goes to show that the so-called Palestinians are the proxy for the Islamic world against the Jews and nothing to do with land.

They used to say education was the best legacy to your children. For Nigerians I think we should modify it, a foreign passport is a far better legacy.

Cut out the religious nonsense. The Palestinian “plight” is just that… an Arab stunt that has lasted beyond a joke at this point. Palestinian Arabs had a GDP per capita of over $3200 in 2020. Nigeria’s GDP per capita for the same year was $2097.

Plight my foot…

you send link Israel denying knowledge about the attack, Israel cabinet members denying knowledge about the attack should tell you a lot…
It tells me nothing actually, especially if you pay any attention to foreign affairs. Case in point… Israel bombed and destroyed a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor, at Al Kibar in 2007 (operation orchard).

It denied knowledge of it at the time and never claimed responsibility until March 2018… 11 years after. Everyone, including the Iranian government, understands how Israel carries out covert operations, apparently except you.

At least you admit Hamas is basically a proxy of Iran rather than the clearly false claim that these are just “Palestinians” fighting for their “land”.

If it was Syria, Palestine or Lebanon they would boldly come out with their c**k between their leg to claim they did it but e reach iran them the deny, like I said once again every attacks rn are indirect with proxies and undercover.

It’s just like saying iran is killing or shelling Israel directly because their proxies hamas and hezbollah are doing killing and shelling Israel, it sounds stopid
Less cursing and more using your brain. Israel is notorious worldwide for never commenting on their covert (look that word up) operations. The fact that the Iranian government openly fingered Israel tells you they disagree with your clueless claims. Apparently Iran doesn’t share your warped belief that Israel is not a dangerous nation to toy with. Read up on “Operation Opera” and weep.

Show me any outlet that Israel took responsibility for the attack, till now it isn’t official confirm that Israel killed him only speculation, Iran has many enemies, us, Saudi, uae, turkey, Israel. It can be anyone. It would be stupid for Iran to attack Israel without any prove Israel was responsible. For now it’s just speculation, undercover and proxy attacks. If e sure for Israel they should launch an attack as idf and if their balls big, they should send missile or aircraft from Israel to attack, that’s if e sure for them.
You’re allowing your religious affiliation blind you to the truth, no Muslim nation is a match for Israel. I know it hurts, but deal with it.

You should learn to read before making a fool of yourself. Iran knows perfectly well Israel can kill its chief scientists, on its own soil and there is nothing they can do about it. Deal with it…

If Palestinians are really the perpetrators while Israel the victims in this Israeli- Palestinian affair, May God bless you abundantly with great health and wealth and all the things you desire.

If Palestinians are the victims and Isrealis the oppressors but deep in your heart, you sincerely believed that the Palestinians are the oppressors and the Israelis the victims because you have been misled or does not have the right information, May God forgive you and guide you aright, and may He make miserable the lives of those who misled you if they know the truth but still chose to mislead others for reasons best known to them unless they repent and retrace their steps.

But if in your heart, you know that the Palestinians are the victims, yet chose to justify the Israeli oppression and blame the Palestinians despite knowing that they are the victims, may God give you your own Israeli who will do to you what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. May people who are in the position to help the situation play the role America is playing in this Israeli- Palestinian affair. May it continue like that until you repent, retrace your steps and do for the oppressed as much as you did for the oppressors.
Palestinians have been “victims” since 1948. No other people have maintained professional victim status for that long lol.

What you're saying is not the reason israel has not strike Iran. Israel can't defeat Iran in an all out war.

It will be disastrous for them

That's why they haven't try it.


War is no child's play man

If israel strike iran, iran will retaliate.

Forget any excuse you wan give, Israelis are not stupid to try it
Yeah no... Israel killed the founder of Iran's nuclear weapons program last year. Israel has used covert explosions, sabotage and computer attacks to disable Iran's nuclear weapons program... we are still waiting for Iran to "retaliate". At the end of the day, most Muslim nations are just that, loud noise and nothing else (well except suicide bombers).

Israel routinely bombs Syria and Lebanon, Iran's satellite states... and no one does a thing.

That has more to do with US restraint than anything else. No one wants to bomb Iran and let lose 84 million refugees for Saudi Arabia and UAE to deal with.

Bro... arguing with these guys on NL will drain your energy and ruin your day. Many have been hard wired to main stream media narrative that it’s so difficult to convince them otherwise, even when the obvious is so glaring.

Why should Israel attack Syria? Bombing airports, factories, military structures?

Why should Israel by proxy attack Iran?

Nations like Iran don’t do the talking, they take action and treat anyone’s stupidity be it American and Israeli.

Israeli has been running an Intel/ops Centre against Iran in Erbil in the shadows of a US embassy. Many a times they have used drones similar to the ones used by jihadist to hit at Iranian infrastructures. And they have often attacked Iranian military footings in Syria with the usual plausible deniability.

Iran, under sanctions for years, has demonstrated its ability to build a modern armament fit for modern wars. She has proved her ability to hit Israel where it hurts “Dimona” if Israel attacks Iranian soil. Same way she hit the US bases in Iraq.
Iran hasn't proved anything. It has never hit Dimona... all it did was cowardly simulate an attack.

Iran hits US bases and has never killed a single American. The day Iran fires missiles and kills US servicemen in Iran, it would be the end for the Iranian Islamic regime... it would probably be Iran's biggest gift to Israel.

See how weak the USA has made Iraq.

There was a time iran won't dare attack Iraq like this.
They had balls to enter Iran and kill Mohsen Fakhrizadeh Mahabadi last year (google him if you don't know)... i would not let your Muslim sympathies blind you to their superior capabilities. No Islamic nation today can match them in a battlefield. All you've got is numbers and nothing more.

Isreal and Iran testing their missile capabilities. One thing about Iranians is, they match their words with action. Iran has vowed to avenge the murder of its two officers in Syria by isreal. Isrealis are shiiting in their pants now because they know Iran can and will carry out its threat. Both countries are very stubborn.Tit-for-tat killings ad infinitum!
cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy Joke of the century... no Iran is all noise and nothing else. Israel killed the father of Iran's nuclear weapons program right under their noses in Iran... and Iran has done NOTHING about it. Israel frankly could care less, they have a superior airforce and enough nuclear weapons to wipe out Iran in one day... might explain why Iran has NEVER fired a single missile into Israel and has never directly killed/captured any Israeli senior official, despite Israel continuing to kill Iranian military leaders in Syria and Lebanon. The only thing Iran has going for it is its massive population, who are more than ready to be suicide bombers today, and the lack of appetite for another massive war.

Israel continues to attack Iranian nuclear sites with DOS attacks and actual covert explosions... what has Iran ever done in response? Your guess is as good as mine. https://www.businessinsider.com/attack-inside-iran-nuclear-facility-latest-in-battle-with-israel-2022-1

Yes Israel have such Centre , make Google your friend. The day Israel strike Iran directly it will get its response.
Israel are bluffing for decades about hitting their nuclear facilities, why haven’t they done it? Noise makers can only shoot unarmed Palestinians
You're late...

1. Israel bombed and essentially destroyed Iraq's nuclear program.
2. Israel bombed and destroyed Syria's nuclear capabilities.
3. Israel assassinated the "father" of Iran's nuclear program in 2021 - Mohsen Fakhrizadeh Mahabadi

The jews don't play... the US and other western governments are the reason Israel has not hit Iran's nuclear facilities yet. Iran has a population of 84 million. Refugees from Iran alone will overwhelm the middle east and Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE absolutely do not want Iranian refugees on their doorstep. Makes sense to understand world politics before you erroneously assume Israel is incapable of reducing Iran to rubble.

How is Israel "looking for trouble"? Jerusalem is theirs... that much is clear by the fact that the name is Jewish, not arab. Arabs are the ones who have made their lives a living hell since 1948, its a miracle Israel has chosen not to drop bombs on all of them and gotten rid of them once and for all.

TEMPLE MOUNT: Mahmoud al-Habbash, the PA’s top Islamic judge and presidential adviser on religious affairs, accused Israel of seeking to ignite a religious war “that would burn the whole world.”

Palestinian Authority officials on Sunday warned against attempts by Jews to “storm” al-Aqsa Mosque compound (Temple Mount) during Jewish holidays, saying this would trigger a “religious war.”

Here is the update about my follow-up interview today.
I did not use my last US visa though it was my first US visa because the event I wanted to attend was cancelled due to Covid-19.
Transcript:
Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning.
VO: Have you been to the US before?
Me: No.
VO: You didn't use your last US visa?
Me: Yes
VO: Where are you going and what's the reason?
Me: Mentioned the city and the purpose. Same event I wanted to attend two years ago.
VO: Have you been to the UK before?
Me: Yes.
Flipped through my passport. I have an expired UK visa, 2 expired Schengen visas and one year valid Schengen visa.
VO: Did you travel with your family?
Me: No. Children were in school.
VO: Visa not approved. You can reapply.
Me: Thank you. I waka comot jejely. Lol.

Apparently, she wasn't happy that I didn't use the last visa. But I can't travel without a purpose.

Well, thanks folks for sharing valuable information here.
I wish you all good luck.
You should have told her why it was impractical if you to use your previous visa - like event was canceled and thanks to Covid, traveling internationally was not a viable option either.

If identity politics is ruining western society then why are the most popular threads here those seeking exodus to those same societies? Nigeria’s quota system is about the boldest official acknowledgment of identity politics as I’ve ever seen.

Around $15,000. I didn't use epidural and I made use of my insurance. My insurance covered 80% of it.
You may have to call to get the latest estimate. This was 2020
Incredible! shocked

they should all ask about eligibility in relation to the parents status. Things like WIC, Food stamps, Child Care scholarship Program/ Daycare voucher etc (this is termed, been careful and thorough).


Best of luck
Hate to say and understand everyone has different circumstances, but this is my pet peeve. The F1 spouse is likely not paying property taxes, social security etc… yet is already looking into eligibility for the social safety net simply by virtue of having a US citizen child.

GAPPLE:
Hello house,
Well done bosses.

I would like to know any recommendations from any angle for F2 dependant that may likely get pregnant in the USA(first time pregnancy btw)

Like:
1) What should she put in place?

2) How to know a black friendly hospital to use?

3) How much to budget from antenatal to delivery

4) Any insurance/discount?

5) Any general suggestions

Thanks in anticipation of your responses, God bless.
1. The F1 spouse is likely covered by health insurance. Read this, call the insurance company and let them know of your birthing plans. They will advice you on what to do. You may even get a few things for free.

2. What matters isn’t the hospital but the OB you use. You will register at the hospital the OB practices at and he/she will likely deliver your baby. But make sure you make that clear to him/her. So get an OB you are very comfortable with.

3. Whatever insurance covers will dictate what to save. Some insurance may require you to cover a certain percentage of total delivery costs as deductibles. At minimum, budget at least $3000. Expect to receive bills for months after your baby covering incidentals like doctor visits, anesthesiologist etc.

4. Yup, call your insurance company and ask for a break down of your likely costs. Bear in mind, this can change if you have other complications.

5. Ask around for OB recommendations. This person will be your most important resource.

I have an admission for Masters of Engineering with in state tuition so I still have about 40k usd deficit cos I am going with my family.
I have been a freelance writer for more than 6 years but obviously I can't tell the VO that.
I have been able to gather some properties over the years land and houses.

Will filling technical writer and real estate suffice for the VO as my past role and source of fund?
