Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of 603 American service members.

Soleimani maimed thousands more with IEDs.

Soleimani authorized the rocket attack on a compound housing US citizens

Soleimani authorized the attack on the U.S. Embassy.

He was plotting to kill more Americans.

Yes he deserves to be dead. If you’re lamenting his death, you are a terrorist supporting idiot.

O boy see allegations and speculations without any proof whatsoever.

In that case;
Soleimani caused Hurricane Karina.
Soleimani caused Hurricane Maria.
Soleimani caused the 2018's Camp Fire.
Soleimani caused the 2014 california earthquake.

The same Soleimani that was a US ally during the early days of the Afghan war.

Both of them should go into extinction then, I don't want anything to trouble my life. I miraculously escaped a snake(cobra) attack some years ago so since then am scared/hate them. Even earthworm sef unto say e resemble snake scares the hell outta me(Lol)


Anyways thanks for the info.

Extinction of a single specie can create an inbalance in the eco system leading to more extinctions.

A good example is the dodo. The extinction of the dodo is leading to an extinction of a certain tree which will lead to extinction of animals that depends on the tree.
Read the report here;

Recently a scientist noticed that a certain species of tree was becoming quite rare on Mauritius. In fact, he noticed that all 13 of the remaining trees of this species were about 300 years old. No new trees had germinated since the late 1600s.

Since the average life span of this tree was about 300 years, the last members of the species were extremely old. They would soon die, and the species would be extinct. Was it just a coincidence that the tree had stopped reproducing 300 years ago and that the dodo bird had become extinct 300 years ago? No.

It turns out that the dodo bird ate the fruit of this tree, and it was only by passing through the dodo’s digestive system that the seeds became active and could grow. Now, more than 300 years after one species became extinct, another was to follow as a direct consequence. Will more follow?

Ppl can be funny , and who told u the place belong to a xtian? Whites are not like u that one that's not a Muslim is a xtian NO. Securities, medical practitioners etc widely wear hijab all over USA. Read this story well u will see that the firm has already apologized to her on the ground of the Misbehavior of Its manager. Think

No the place belongs to a Muslim, and the US must be Muslim country.

Maybe women securities, medical practitioners, etc., will be allowed to wear trousers to work in Saudi Arabia.

Muslims give to others that which they can't take.

The boss is even a nice person if it's me I will suspend her immediately with stern warning if she try such nonsense again I will fire her with no remorse she can damn return to Zamfara state where bloody sycophants are arresting federal police officer because of their useless sharia my foot.

Don't mind them. Muslims feels they are free to do as they wish in Christian or other religion's dominated countries, but others must abide by islamic laws in Muslim dominated countries or states. Imagine, I can't eat pork and drink Heineken in my own private space in zamfara, but they demand to wear hijab in Christian dominated countries or inside a private business belonging to a Christian.

garetz:
Does she even have the slightest concept of what a real terrorist regime like Iran is like? Where women are locked up for not wearing their head covering and where gay people get tossed from the roof? Not to mention if you dare protest, you can get killed as 1500 Iranian folks were killed a month ago by Soleimani and his crew? That’s what a real terrorist regime looks like, not all these malaria fever induced dreams of Orange Man Bad that liberals have all the time

And how is that different from the Saudi regime, that kills assassinates critics in foreign countries. What they do to gays, women and critics inside Saudi Arabia is better left to the imagination. Meanwhile, the US does not label the saudi government terrorist. Please note that the Saudis also sponsor Sunni terrorist groups around the world.

You know nothing.
Thousands of animals have gone extinct even before humans showed up.

99% of all animals that lived on earth has gone extinct.

Me too I have a phobia for snakes, had very few encounters with them in my life time.

For your information, the most deadly animal to human in the whole world is the almighty mosquito. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year resulting in over one million deaths. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito-borne_disease

Bahamas95:
Why save this ugly creature?



I wish snakes could just go into extinction, I hate them.

If you remove snakes from the eco system, rats and other vermins would multiply, resulting in more deaths. Diseases caused by rats causes far more deaths than snakes. Snakes hardly attack humans, except in rare cases. Most snake bite is by mistake as snakes have very poor eye sight.

I have heard Cobras and mambas live in a family house (usually rat infested) for months without anyone noticing.

ogbonti:
the provocation Iran has thrown at America under Trump is nothing compared to what they did when Obama the appeaser was in office

Iran will soon be wiped off the face of the map!

Is it worse than the provocation thrown at Iraq by W H Bush, when he invaded and killed thousands of Iraqis in a war based on lies.

yellowman2225:
How will Saudi and Egypt be against USa? you dont understand international politics.

Saudi, Israel and Egypt are the biggest Ally of UsA among Arabs World. Also, all Sunni Countries will lean towards Saudi and not Shia Iran. Get this sir!!!

And you think, fellow Arab muslims will support USA a Christian nation and Israel supporter against fellow muslims in an all out war?

The fight between Arab Sunnis and shites is a fight between brothers, that with USA and Israel is with outsiders.

It's the leaders of Saudi Arabia that needs the support of US and not the citizens. Remember Osama Bin Laden main grouse with the saudi government was its cosy relationship with the US.

Demzlent:
Donald Trump may want to go to war with iran to avoid the continuous process of his removal by the senate, Clinton also used that move

Impeachment and escalation of war by the president go together.

President Clinton orders air attack on Iraq

On December 16, 1998, President Bill Clinton announces he has ordered air strikes against Iraq because it refused to cooperate with United Nations (U.N.) weapons inspectors. Clinton’s decision did not have the support of key members of Congress, who accused Clinton of using the air strikes to direct attention away from ongoing impeachment proceedings against him. Just the day before, the House of Representatives had issued a report accusing Clinton of committing “high crimes and misdemeanors” related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, in which Clinton had–and then lied about–an illicit sexual liaison with an intern in the Oval Office.

Timbuktuo:
Was it Trump who advised them to attack contractors and subsequently a US embassy? And if not, was this retaliatory response not in order?

Iran will NOT start any silly war with US and Trump has gone as far as he will.

This is new year. Let us all try and utilize our brain cells more productively and stop hating for the sake of it. Thank you

Sorry to say but you are ignorant of international politics.
Both Ruhollah Khomeini and Donald Trump need a war or at least an escalation of conflict to preserve their regimes. Trump is facing a removal as a result of impeachment and falling popularity by independents and Democrats. His republican support base is never beyond 45% in polls.
Ruhollah Khomeini is facing backlash at home because of biting economic problems as a result of sanctions by Trump. He also needs a war to divert attentions.

A limited conflict would benefit both Trump and Khomeini.
Trump killed the a very important Iranian official on Iraqi soil without informing congress. Iraq (a US ally) would also see the this as an aggression. The situation could escalate very quickly and drag the US into another war. This time the US will be going into a war with Iran without its traditional allies.

One positive to Nigeria. Crude will most likely increase to close to $100 within a month or so. If that will lead to better lives for Nigerians is anyone's guess.

GOP Lawmaker Plotted Insurrections to Establish Christian State

Last year, the chair of the Republican caucus in Washington’s state legislature acknowledged that he had written a manifesto on the “Biblical Basis for War.” In that document, the lawmaker argued that – as far as Jesus Christ was concerned – American Christians have the right to “kill all males” who support abortion, same-sex marriage or communism (so long as they first give such infidels the opportunity to renounce their heresies). - http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/matt-shea-christian-terrorism-washington-report-ammon-bundy.html

Why does sex slowly die off in a Marriage after 10+ years??

School fees, house rents, family upkeep and job stress on the mind of guys.

Flabby body, big stomach and stretch marks as a result of child bearing, and then stress of raising the kids on the girls.

He respects his daughter Ivanka far more than Melania. In fact ivanka is ofter referred to as the first daughter and Donald Trump listens to her more than Melania.

You must really harbour hatred in your heart for the pope. A 83 year old frail man was dragged like that and you are annoyed at his mild response. Will you say that if he was your dad and was jacked like that?
I am sure you would have jumped for joy if he fell and broke his skull.

This is a man that fell during a live mass just 3 years ago.

Oga, how many cities in the world plan low income settlements next door to high income residential areas? Name them.

London has social housing program that build houses for the poor.

New York through the New York City Housing Authority. They built housing units for the poor sometimes called The projects.

The problem is that in Nigeria, there are very poor urban control methods, put in place to prevent such things. The issue is NOT elite bias, but a problem of illegal squatters that has spiraled out of control!

I agree that Nigeria has very poor urban planing before you even start talking about controls.
There is a strong elite bias to governance in Nigeria and it applies to all levels of governments. The government's never consider programs that benefits the poor. Even when they purport to have social programs for the poor, it's either never implemented or poorly implemented. A good example is the health centres. I took my son to one once and the services were very poor and they still charged exorbitantly. I threatened the matron that I will petition them to the Lagos State government. The begged me and gave me half of my money back.
Let me add that the last government that I can remember that did not have an elite bias was the Jakande administration. Jakande build schools and housing for the poor all over Lagos, even on high value lands. He built secondary schools in Osborne, Else Femi Pearse, opposite mobil headquarters in V/I, etc. He built Jakande estates all over Lagos.

I have some cousins that attended Jakande schools and they are very successful members of society today.

The shanties in those areas spring up, from the development of houses and blocks of flats in those same areas.

Artisans, builders and technicians employed to build those flats, often build shanties on unoccupied land, which they use as their temporary quarters when they are engaged to carry out construction duties or activities, on adjoining plots.

But once those houses or flats are fully built, and their job "contract" ends, these artisans refuse to leave their temporary abode, and instead decide to convert such shanties into their permanent residence, especially if other building activities are still springing up around that area.

They stay there, hoping to find additional work, or ply their skills in those new developments, that are coming up.

The problem usually goes unnoticed, as long as construction works are still going on in that area. But once the construction works end, then the shanties where those artisans live, then stick out like a sore thumb.

The sad thing is that after a while, it is not only the artisans on constructed sites that live there. Other low income people and destitutes join them.

Some of the early settlers even constitute themselves into so-called "landlords," and start collecting rental dues from those who wish to erect shanties, within the same locality.

The occupants of these shanties are not only Nigerians. There is a huge population of other West African nationals from Togo, Cotonou, Cameroon etc, who also live there.

Many of them have no visible means of income, and are often at the mercy of the street wise gangsters within such locations, who are too willing nto exploit them.

You will often see a huge population of unwed teenage mothers, prostitutes, weed sellers, jobless bricklayers, illiterate mallams, agberos, petty gangsters, agbo hawkers etc, all living within these shanties.

They have their own chiefs or 'Baáles' who claim to be the caretakers of the land, and who often extort money from them to settle police, and ministry officials whenever they come there to conduct raids.

The sad thing is the real owners of such lands where these people have constructed their shanties are often powerless to drive them out, because these people refuse to leave, when they are served eviction notices for trespassing on such lands.

We should be asking "why do these people illegally occupy lands that do not belong to them, and refuse to leave?"

Eventually, the land owners have no choice, but to involve the police or security forces, to get them out forcibly, from such occupied places.

Govt cannot just build low cost houses for these illegal squatters (because in reality, that is what they are).

And if those houses are even built, they will never be able to pay for it, because what they earn is too little, to even make adequate payments to cover the cost of such houses.

My church has held several outreaches in some of these areas, and we have interacted with many of them.

When you interview them, they will confess that they came from their villages to work in Lagos, but they ended up spending the wages they earned from their temporary jobs. Or they were robbed of their earnings.

When you ask them if they would like to go back to their villages or countries, if funds are made available, they become hostile and see you as their enemy!

I agree with all you wrote. Shanties are a complex mix of all sorts of people. You have criminals, prostitutes and other social miscreants. You also have those who need cheap accommodation closer to their jobs or businesses. Shanties are situated close to very affluent areas because the economy depends on proximity to rich folks.

Oga, stop it. I grew up in Ikoyi and I schooled in Victoria Island. Falomo bridge was built in the late '70s.

I also did all my pre tertiary schooling in Ikoyi. Falomo bridge was most probably commissioned in 79 or late 78. The bridge was not there during FESTAC77.

But he apologised.
Can your god apologise for anything in his whole life? You guys believe Trump is infallible.

nura15:
THAT'S YOUR OWN CUP OF PROBLEM.YOUR LAND IS YOUR LAND AS OUR LAND IS OURS. THEREFORE LIVE YOUR LIFE AS YOU LIKE & LET US LIVE OUR LIVES AS WE LIKE.

I agree totally. Muslim north should stay on their lands and Christian south should stay on their lands. At the same time Muslim north must raise the resources to run their Islamic Republic. You cannot rely on taxes and resources from South to run a government that is hostile to me.

We the south are never a vassal state of the north. You cannot be collecting taxes from us and still pursuing us from your land, while at the same time having free reign on ours.

We better start telling our politicians to start reassessing our relationship with the Muslim north. It makes more sense to for them to join their Muslim brothers in Niger and establish an Islamic Republic called Nigeriastan.

You want to talk about electricity and water? In Nigeria? Or because PHCN is probably doing you a favour with few hours of electricity to celebrate the new year?
Dont worry you would soon switch to your generator or solar/inverter very soon.
Where is the public water system in Nigeria that you want to pretend exists?
Pretenders suffering and bragging!

This is what you wrote;

Do you think other countrirs would wait for Nigeria to have electricity and water before they provide same to their own people.?

When I pointed out to you that you are wrong and that Nigerians do indeed run their homes and offices with electricity, and do have water running in their homes, you then changed mouth to generator or solar/inverter and public water system.
The amount of electricity generated by generators and solar panels in Lagos west alone is more than all your public electricity generated throughout Ghana.
I have generator and solar panels in my home, not to even talk about NEPA, that is constant where I live.
I have hot water running in my taps, as there is borehole in most homes in Lagos.

Michelle Obama is so respected in the US that even Steve Bannon, Trump's former strategist thinks she has a chance against trump in the race for the presidency in 2020 -https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2019-08-11/bannon-latest-to-float-idea-of-michelle-obama-run-against-trump

Even Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore recently called on Michelle Obama to run as the best hope for Democrats to beat Trump in 2020, saying the popular former first lady would “crush” the president.

“She is a beloved American, and she would go in there, and she would beat him,” Moore said on MSNBC. “She would beat him in the debates, he wouldn’t be able to bully her, he wouldn’t be able to nickname her.”

Are you normal? How can you compare Melania Trump with Michelle Obama? Even Donald Trump respects Michelle more than Melania.

I know many white nationalist hate to see a strong educated, highly intelligent black woman. They prefer a dumb, barely educated, model (runs girl ) as long as she is white.

Anywhere she goes around the world, she is respected and loved.

Then move on without Nigeria. And they told you we don't have electricity and water? We must be replying you on this thread with computers and phones running on candles, and we must be drinking air instead of water.
