Foreign AffairsRe: Exiled Iranian Crown Prince, Reza Pahlavi Receives A Call To Return & Lead Iran by Whalis: 10:47pm On Mar 07
slickbak:
This man has never worked a day in his entire life. He has been living in his father’s shadow and wealth in Europe for over 40 years. How will such a person lead Iran out of its challenges with empathy for the masses. He doesn’t even know the road to his village. Just a packaged puppet for the western elite to funnel the Iranian commonwealth and further impoverish the people.

America and Israel has been the cancer in this world.
There is no cancer requiring the highest level of chemotherapy like Islam and those who follow Islamic doctrine. After Iran passes through this Ultra high frequency chemotherapeutic exposure the world will experience normalcy in the order it was before the formation of Islam. Attacking Iran is cutting off sources of funds for Islamic terrorisms.

Tareq1105:
Hmmm, someone had said this before that he didn't do anything for his people and state when he was minister for 7 years.
This is where Wike has edge over him. Bros Ikwerre people and most Rivers people don't need to hear from Wike before taking actions on his behalf. Wike has grassroots followership. This can not be said of Amaechi.
PoliticsRe: Atiku Reacts As Thugs Burn Down ADC Office, Block Amaechi’s Motorcade In Rivers by Whalis: 7:52am On Mar 07
This I can say any day doesn't have the signature of Wike. Amaechi is that prophet that is not recognised at home. He also doesn't see himself as part.of his local community until during election. Amaechi is someone that even when he was a minister if you greeted him in his native Ikwerre language in Abuja perhaps you wanted to express identity and closeness to him would answer you 'it doesn't matter ' disdainfully.
Today he is called Mr. It Doesn't Matter in Ubima. Now he needs his people and his people don't want him. It is a lesson learnt to all politicians. Remember your people not only during electioneering period.
PoliticsRe: Niger Delta Group Tells Tinubu To Terminate Tantita's Pipeline Contract by Whalis: 3:16am On Mar 07
Tinubu should overlook this group. This is crab mentality. They want to drag everyone back. If it were a Fulani man that owes that contract they won't petition him. But because it is their brother that is the reason for the envy. Envious people.
PoliticsRe: Wike's Loyalists Burn ADC Ward Office In Ubima, Amaechi's Hometown by Whalis: 2:55am On Mar 07
This is not true. Amaechi's people are showing dislike for him. Amaechi did nothing for them. Amaechi ADC has a secretariat in Wike's stronghold Port Harcourt nothing has happened to him.
Amaechi will win election everywhere but not in his native Ubima. He has never won election even in his own polling booth. He is called Mr. It Doesn't Matter. This is his common reply when he was a minister. If you happened to come across him when he was a minister as an Ikwerre person and you spoke Ikwerre to him, his reply was usually it doesn't matter in a disdainful manner. Now he needs his people.
PoliticsThe Larger Picture Of Israel And America Campaign In Iran. by Whalis(op): 9:21pm On Mar 06
Islam, Radicalism, and the Path to Reform
Many observers and critics have raised concerns about radicalism within certain expressions of Islam. At its historical core, Islam — like many faiths born in contested environments — developed doctrines that permitted violence in defence and retaliation. When the Prophet Muhammad founded Islam, he faced intense opposition, including threats against his life. In response, he and his followers engaged in military campaigns to ensure their survival and the preservation of the new faith. That legacy of militant self-defence has, in some quarters, persisted and evolved across the centuries.
It is important, however, to distinguish between historical context and contemporary reality. Many predominantly Muslim nations have recognised the necessity of adapting to a modern, pluralistic world. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar — once considered deeply conservative — have undertaken significant social, economic, and governance reforms in recent decades. These developments demonstrate that Islamic identity and modernity are not inherently incompatible.
A more contentious dimension of this discourse concerns the Qur'anic framing of Jews and Christians as 'People of the Book' — communities that, while sharing Abrahamic roots with Islam, historically opposed or rejected Muhammad's message. In the early years of Islam, this tension translated into conflict, and some interpretations of Islamic scripture continue to frame this as an enduring religious rivalry. Hardline elements within Islam have used such interpretations to justify hostility toward Jewish and Christian communities. In Nigeria, for instance, religiously motivated violence has disproportionately targeted Christian populations, while Iran has openly declared its ambition to eliminate the state of Israel.
These ambitions require resources. Jihadist ideology encourages not only active participation in armed struggle but also financial support from those unable to fight directly. This has fed a global network of extremist funding. Yet the goal of Islamic global dominion — whether over Christians, Jews, or others — is increasingly at odds with geopolitical reality. The world is diverse, and conquest of one religious community would still leave a vast landscape of other faiths and secular societies. Islamic nations that have internalised this reality have largely prospered and moved forward. Those clinging to the ideology of conquest have, in contrast, remained economically and politically stunted.
Iran stands out as the most significant state sponsor of this ideology. The Islamic Republic has, since its 1979 revolution, made the exportation of its brand of Islamism a cornerstone of its foreign policy. It funds and arms extremist groups across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond — from Hezbollah in Lebanon to various militia factions in Iraq and Yemen. Without Iranian sponsorship, many of these groups would lack the capacity to sustain their operations.
This is the crux of the matter: military campaigns against extremist groups — however necessary in the short term — cannot constitute a long-term solution if the source of ideological and financial support remains untouched. The United States and Israel have pursued aggressive counter-terrorism strategies driven by a mixture of genuine security concerns, geopolitical interests, and, at times, strategic rivalry. While these efforts have disrupted terrorist networks, they have not addressed the root cause.
The argument, then, is straightforward: meaningful reform within Iran — political, ideological, or both — would dramatically reduce the global infrastructure of Islamist terrorism. Whether that reform comes through internal revolution, sustained international pressure, or diplomatic engagement remains an open question. But until Iran's role as a sponsor of extremism is fundamentally curtailed, the threat of organised Islamic terrorism is unlikely to diminish in any lasting way. Once that shift occurs, the broader phenomenon of global jihadism may gradually weaken and, over time, fade.

PoliticsRe: Why Nothern Leaders Are Against State Police by Whalis: 10:00am On Mar 05
nairalanda1:
Well

1. Technically, crimes commited by army personell are handled by the milltary police (even in America...the Navy has the NCIS, the Army has the MP and the Air force has the air police)...so police men should in principle not arrest a member of the armed forces.

2.Also, army officers have no right to attack police.

3.The problem is a lack of coordination between the police and the army in matters like these....which has not been addressed in decades.
I go with your number three. There is no doubt the reason of this state police. The menace of Fulani herders. No one is ready to talk about this. Rather the country decided to take the long route.
PoliticsRe: Why Nothern Leaders Are Against State Police by Whalis: 8:07am On Mar 05
nairalanda1:
1.Sharia police, or hisbah is unarmed and basically would be wiped out by any bandits...they can't investigate crime, or enforce an arrest on a criminal for stealing. And so forth. They are equivalent to the varied enforcement agencies that exist in many of our states.

2.Also, no state can afford state police, even the christian ones. If you want state police so that the christian states can prevent terrorist movement, be prepared to pay heavy duty taxes for the funding, or forget about it. No state, even Lagos, has the ability to fund a proper police force for city policing...talkless of a police force that would be expert in fighting the bandits in the bush

Such a police force would need drones, heavy machine guns, helicopters, armoured vehicles, all terrain vehicles, and very good rifles..and all that costs money. Note that they also need training facilites, and not just some glorified secondary school or something, good forensic laboratory, and crucially good records....and very good salaries and conditons of service.

In this country where most state budgets are tiny, state police no go work for now. You can call me bandit defender, or any other name, but me, I don't mind state police, but the problem again is...funding.
We don't know where our priorities lie. State police that northern military will come to attack if they arrest any of their persons.

Health3 Men Die Inside Well In Aminigboko, Abua/Odual, Rivers State (Disturbing Photo) by Whalis(op): 10:09pm On Feb 22
Three (3)men died in a dry WELL. Abua/Odual lga. May their soul rest in the bosom of the the lord jesus Christ.

The Aminigboko community is an oil and gas-rich area in Abua, where SPDC has been exploring for oil and gas for some time. The community isae peaceful community in Abua and hosts the Oil Giant company SPDC.

Indications show that the community could host numerous oil wells and different Gases due to some research results.

Tragedy has struck the community today, 3 abled body men died mysteriously while trying to upgrade a well to get good water to drink. The well is drying out as the owner seeks the services of 2 men who reportedly dug the well. The first person reportedly went down the well through a locally made ladder and was never heard from again, the second person went down for rescue and the same thing happened. While the third person who was never engaged desperately sought to save the duo, unfortunately he lost his life even when the eyewitnesses wanted safety measures for him and he declined.

An eyewitness said that the well has an offensive odour which the owner feels could be a result of the depth, but with this tragedy, there is a suspicious gas that has killed these men instantly.

It is strongly believed that the community is hosting a lot of natural minerals and gases, some of which may be emitted from the said well, unknown to the residents.

It is important to employ experts in the oil sector to investigate the cause of this tragedy now, to save the community from a natural disaster.
