⁷ LordLicifer:If anyone is mad enough to make an attempt on another person's life, the person should be able to defend himself with all possible means. Don't you think Ukraine Russia war is a waste of human life on frivolous matters? War should be abolished. Every conflict should be resolved in court How long will humanity continue to kill one another like animals? We should outgrow that Imagine you're one of the 400,000 soldiers that died in the Ukraine Russia war Does it make sense for one Zelensky or Putin to sit in his office and decide the fate of thousands of soldiers? They should also be in the battle field and risk their lives too |
LordLicifer:Defending yourself is not the same as executing a death sentence |
LordLicifer:Defend yourself and your family with arms if necessary |
LordLicifer:Ukraine Russia war is related to the death penalty topic because both involved death You're becoming upset already by already Hope you're not going to kill me The point is that humanity should do away with killing one another by all means |
Kobojunkie:Because the state actors are not free from crime If they were free from crime, then they should have the right to kill murderers And killing another human does not proffer any solution. It rather multiplies killings And the cycle continues without ending |
Kobojunkie:Any law that promotes killing another human cannot be right Isolating the criminal and correcting him sounds better Humanity should outgrow killing one another for any reason. Not even as a means of punishment Hope you're not going to kill me for disagreeing with you You may not think along that line, but religious fanatics do |
LordLicifer:I shared my opinion on death penalty and killings and you shared your own. I didn't call your opinion foolish Why call mine foolish? I don't need to know you |
LordLicifer:Killing another human under any kind of law is wrong. Not by death penalty, not by war. I know you will clap for Putin and Zelensky for killing over 400,000 people in their stupid war. Or Natenyahu for killing over 75,000 Palestinians. These presidents are innocent and are celebrated while this poor woman deserves to be murdered. Killing can never stop killing Only forgiveness and love can stop killings. The law should play a role in isolating criminals and leading them to realizing they are wrong and correcting them to becoming useful. Why are prisons called correctional centers? What are you correcting when you kill? |
Juanmike:The murderer committed a crime and deserves a life jail... But not a death sentence. Because no one is qualified to execute her.. We're all criminals Just that you were not caught doesn't make you innocent |
LordLicifer:I'm not against the law... But against Death Penalty How many people has been deterred from killing because of death penalty? It doesn't make sense |
LordLicifer:Has your laws stopped crime? Both the judiciary, legislature and executives are all criminals The person that sentenced her to death and the person that administered the death injections are not free from crime. Sentence the culprit to life jail But no human is qualified to kill another Find a way to keep her useful as she serves her life jail That way she'll not be a threat to others |
MarkNsukkaBread:What's the benefit of killing her? Will killing her raise the dead? |
rayopt:Life jail is good. But prisoners can be put to good use while serving life sentence |
Bwilliam:Since she regrets her actions, why waste her life? why not engage her in something useful to the society? |
What if dangote bought expensive cars with his money? But he chose to build industries which in return employed many people. How many people are employed in Burna Boy's company? |
Olofofo247ng:chai!! That amount is too much |
As a Christian, I won't feel comfortable with a Muslim forcing his message on me while in a bus. In the same way, I believe Muslims won't feel comfortable with me forcing the gospel on them in the bus Permission should be sought before the preaching. If everyone in the bus gives their consent, then you're good to go |
I wish you good health and prosperity and many more years of fulfillment |
Rapmoney:Ghana is not a member of BRICS |
sleek214:Maybe Nigeria Army doesn't know how to use drones |
Efuaye:If every student comes with a bow and poisoned arrows, and learns how to shoot on target, those terrorists won't get away easily |
emperor4love:Wike will pay for this statement Until he realizes that he's absolutely nothing without God |
I've been trying to build APK file on GitHub using GitHub action. Has anyone done it before? |
7 Bahamas95:Yet under sharia this is not a crime |
Pootle:Easy for ladies when they want to urinate |
Why Iran Targets Gulf Countries Instead of Directly Attacking the United States The recent warning by Iran—that no port in the Persian Gulf or Sea of Oman will be safe if its own ports are threatened—has raised a key question: why would Iran focus on Gulf countries instead of directly attacking the United States? The answer lies in strategy, geography, and power balance. 1. Avoiding Direct War with a Stronger Military The United States remains the world’s most powerful military force. A direct confrontation between Iran and the U.S. would likely escalate into a full-scale war, something Iran seeks to avoid. Instead, Iran uses an indirect strategy: Avoid head-on military confrontation Apply pressure where the U.S. is vulnerable This approach is often called asymmetric warfare—fighting smarter, not stronger. 2. Targeting U.S. Allies and Economic Interests Many Gulf countries—like Saudi Arabia and the UAE—are close allies of the U.S. and host key energy infrastructure. By threatening or attacking these countries, Iran: Indirectly pressures the U.S. Forces U.S. allies to reconsider their involvement Expands the conflict beyond just two countries Recent reports show that energy routes and infrastructure in the Gulf have already been disrupted, affecting global oil supply. � Reuters 3. The “If We Can’t Trade, No One Can” Strategy A major reason behind Iran’s threats is economic survival. If the U.S. blockades Iranian ports: Iran loses its ability to export oil Its economy suffers heavily So Iran responds with a broader warning: If we are blocked, we will disrupt everyone’s trade This includes threatening shipping routes and ports across the region, which are critical for global oil supply. � Reuters 4. Control of Strategic Chokepoints Iran has a major geographical advantage: it sits next to the Strait of Hormuz. About 20% of global oil trade passes through this narrow route � The Guardian Disrupting it affects the entire world economy Rather than attacking the U.S. mainland, Iran can: Threaten ships Disrupt oil flow Create global economic pressure This gives Iran leverage without direct war. 5. Creating Global Pressure on the U.S. By targeting Gulf infrastructure and shipping: Oil prices rise sharply Global markets react negatively Other countries get involved diplomatically For example, oil prices have already surged amid the tensions. � Reuters This creates pressure on the U.S. from: Its allies Global markets Domestic economic concerns 6. Expanding the Battlefield (Strategic Diversion) Instead of concentrating conflict between Iran and the U.S., Iran spreads it across the region: Ports Oil pipelines Shipping lanes This makes the conflict: Harder to control More expensive for all sides Riskier for global stability Experts note that Iran does not need to win militarily—it only needs to raise the cost of the conflict. � CSIS 7. Political Messaging and Deterrence Iran’s threats are also meant to send a message: To Gulf states: “Stay out of this conflict” To the U.S.: “Your actions will destabilize the whole region” By doing this, Iran hopes to prevent further escalation while showing strength. Conclusion Iran is not attacking Gulf countries instead of the U.S. out of weakness alone—it is a deliberate strategy. By focusing on the Gulf region, Iran: Avoids direct war with a stronger opponent Targets critical economic systems Uses geography to its advantage Forces global attention and pressure In simple terms, Iran’s strategy is: “We may not fight you directly, but we can make the entire region—and global economy—feel the impact.” |
uvie66:I've an upstairs built on a quarter plot of land |
muyico:If you pay house rent for 10 years, you would have spent enough money to buy a plot of land. Better for them to use the rent money to complete the house in the next 5 years They can even use the house to take a bank loan to fix it She can start a small farm in her backyard even a poultry farm and no landlord will stop her Congratulations to them They're far better off than the people they're asking for help |
franchasofficia:Tomorrow someone that really needs help for cancer may never get it because of her actions This is wrong |
With all the attention, likely that Tinubu is about to sell Nigeria to the UK |
GasAndOilTheory:how? |
validplanet:Registering a trademark on another person's existing registered business name can lead to legal conflicts, especially in Nigeria where trademarks often take precedence. Trademark Precedence In Nigeria, a registered trademark generally has stronger protection than a Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)-registered business name. Courts have ruled that trademarks take priority, as seen in Sanofi S.A. v Sanofi Integrated Services Ltd, where later business names using "Sanofi" were ordered cancelled due to the prior trademark. This stems from the Trademarks Act and Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), which allow CAC to direct name changes if conflicting with an existing trademark. Owner's Remedies The business name owner can challenge the trademark via opposition during registration, passing off claims if prior use is proven, or court action for cancellation if it causes confusion. Trademark owners, however, can seek injunctions, damages, or CAC intervention to force the business to rebrand. Prior use by the business name holder may support defenses like common law rights, but registration shifts exclusivity to the trademark holder. Practical Outcomes The outcome depends on timing, prior use, and industry similarity—first-to-register often wins unless fraud or deception is shown. Both parties risk litigation; business name owners may need to change names, while invalid trademarks can be cancelled. To avoid issues, search both CAC and trademark registries before registering either. |
So now you agree with killing, what about humanity? You see? Your silly argument about humanity is nonsense!
