WHAT NIGERIANS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE DEATH OF BUHARI NOT NEW SAME WAS SAID ABOUT SANI ABACHA'S DEATH

Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari Dies in London at 82
Nigeria’s former president Muhammadu Buhari has died at the age of 82 in a London clinic, his family has announced.

Buhari, who governed Nigeria from 2015 to 2023, was reported to have travelled to the United Kingdom in April for a routine medical check-up but subsequently fell ill. The cause of death has not been disclosed.

In a brief statement on Sunday, Buhari’s family confirmed his passing: “The family of the former president has announced the passing on of Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin.”

As a Nigerian, I must express my dissatisfaction with the leadership provided over the past eight years. Rather than experiencing benefits, I have faced pain, limited opportunities for growth, and witnessed similar hardships for numerous youths from my generation. This was also the case during his military rule, which my father endured. His leadership style is marked by a lack of progress, which has been transferred to those under his leadership. While some argue that he fought corruption, it is evident that the majority of Nigerian politicians are corrupt, yet none have been held accountable. Furthermore, his leadership has been marred by the loss of many Nigerian youths during the End SARS protest and Shi'ite protest, which seemed to be of little concern to him. We do not rejoice in the passing of good individuals, but we also do not condemn those who speak the truth about evil men. Are you satisfied with the leaders Nigeria has had since Jonathan left office? In my opinion, Buhari is an evil man, comparable to General Sani Abacha, whose death was celebrated by Nigerians. If you do well, Nigerians will mourn your passing, but if you do evil, people will speak out.

The conflict between Iran and Israel is rooted in a combination of historical, political, ideological, and security factors. Here are some of the primary reasons for the tensions and hostilities between the two nations:

1. Ideological Differences: Iran is an Islamic Republic with a theocratic regime that promotes a revolutionary ideology, opposing Western influence and what it perceives as imperialism in the region. Israel, on the other hand, is a democratic state with a Jewish identity, often seen by Iran as a symbol of Western imperialism and a primary adversary in the Middle East.

2. Support for Opposing Groups: Iran has supported various militant groups that oppose Israel, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. This support includes military training, funding, and weapons supplies, which Israel views as a direct threat to its security.

3. Nuclear Program: Iran’s nuclear program has been a significant point of contention. Israel fears that if Iran develops nuclear weapons, it could pose an existential threat to the Jewish state. As a result, Israel has consistently opposed Iran's nuclear ambitions and has engaged in various efforts to sabotage the program, including cyber attacks.

4. Regional Influence: Iran seeks to expand its influence across the Middle East, supporting proxy groups and forming alliances with countries like Syria and Iraq. This expansion is seen by Israel as a direct threat to its national security and a challenge to its dominance in the region.

5. Historical Hostility: The establishment of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent Arab-Israeli conflicts have created a long-standing animosity in the region. Iran, particularly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, shifted its foreign policy to support anti-Israel sentiments and movements, aligning itself with the Palestinian cause and other adversaries of Israel.

6. Proxy Conflicts: The conflict between Iran and Israel often plays out through proxy wars in various countries, notably in Syria and Lebanon. Iran’s involvement in these conflicts, often supporting groups that attack Israel, creates an ongoing cycle of retaliation and violence.

7. Military Engagements: Israel has conducted airstrikes against Iranian military targets in Syria, aiming to prevent the establishment of a permanent Iranian military presence near its borders. These military engagements further escalate tensions and contribute to the ongoing hostilities.

8. International Alliances: The U.S.-Israel alliance plays a significant role in the conflict. Iran perceives the strong U.S. support for Israel as part of a broader strategy to contain Iranian influence in the region, heightening its animosity towards both countries.

In summary, the conflict between Iran and Israel is driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and security factors. The ongoing hostilities are characterized by proxy conflicts, military engagements, and deep-rooted animosities, making any resolution challenging.

ADC Coalition And Their Military Era ‘Telephone Is Not For The Poor’ Mentality

David Mark is 77 years old, and Rauf Aregbesola is 68. And these are the people who will lead the new coalition party. Can you, as a Nigerian youth, have any hope in such a gerontocratic party, headed by a man who inspired the headline, ‘Telephones Are Not For The Poor’, and another, who as Osun Governor caused religious crisis in his state by forcing Christian Missionary schools to merge with schools they had no affiliation with, which led to religious violence in Osun?

What is their purpose for coming together? They have stated it clearly. It is not to make telephones affordable for the poor, but to simply take power from President Bola Tinubu.

IT IS A RISK TO MAKE CALLS WHEN APPROACHING ANY MILITARY CHECK POINT - Nigerian Army A quick reminder

The Chief of Civil Affairs in the Nigerian Army, Major-General Usman Mohammed, has said that the use of phones when approaching a military checkpoint is wrong. According to him, it is security loop for anyone to approach a checkpoint and at the same time, make use of his or her phone.

“It is a security measure for when you are approaching a checkpoint, you don’t make phone calls because the tendency is that if you are making a phone call, you might be communicating with some bad guys or you may use that particular device to set up some certain devices. It is a general convention; it is not peculiar to Nigeria, it is everywhere. People who have travelled abroad know that you don’t make phone calls when approaching a checkpoint” he said.

BREAKING NEWS: NIGER MILITARY NEUTRALIZES FULANI BANDITS NEAR BORDER, CAPTURES KEY FIGURE ISMAILI GARGA DIALLO

In a major security breakthrough, the Niger Republic military has successfully neutralized several suspected Fulani bandits and terrorists at the nation’s border region with Nigeria.

The operation, which took place yesterday day, left many of the assailants wounded and a number of them captured, including a notorious figure identified as Ismaili Garga Diallo.

This decisive military action comes amid intensified efforts by General Abdourahamane Tchiani's administration to clamp down on terrorism and cross-border criminal activities.

According to reports, the General had earlier issued warnings in the Fulani language—three times—to dissuade the armed group from further violence, but the warnings were ignored.

Observers say this latest operation demonstrates the government’s firm stance on restoring peace and stability in the region, with General Tchiani showing zero tolerance for acts of terrorism.

Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the operation, but the development has been welcomed as a positive step towards enhanced security in the region.

Iran Admits Nuclear Facilities ‘Badly Damaged’ By US Strikes

Iran yesterday said its nuclear installations were “badly damaged” by US airstrikes, the first such comments by Tehran as debate grows over how much the bombardment managed to dent the Islamic Republic’s atomic programme.

“Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told Al Jazeera TV in an interview, quoted by Bloomberg.

Baghaei did not give further details and said authorities were still assessing the situation on the ground. He added that the US attacks were a “detrimental blow” to international law and the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to which Iran is a signatory.

The comments are the first time an Iranian official has addressed the scope of damage caused by the June 22 strikes which involved US attacks on three nuclear facilities in Iran using more than a dozen 30,000-pound bombs.

The comments came hours after US President Donald Trump disputed a US intelligence report that said the attacks had limited impact on Iran’s nuclear programme below ground.

An assessment from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency said the bombing likely didn’t cripple the core components stored underground including centrifuges, according to people familiar with its contents.

Commenting on the intelligence leak, Trump said the report was “very inconclusive” but that he still believed the sites were demolished, the Bloomberg report added.

“The intelligence says we don’t know,” he told reporters at a NATO summit in the Hague. “It could have been very severe. That’s what the intelligence says. So I guess that’s correct, but I think we can take that we don’t know. It was very severe. It was obliteration,” he added.

But International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said “very significant damage is expected to have occurred” at Fordow, Iran’s main uranium enrichment site which is built under a mountain. The IAEA has not had access to Iran since Israel started attacking Iran on June 13.

Satellite images showed that US military planners were careful not to hit reactors at the Isfahan research facility which appeared to have been intentionally left untouched, according to four senior officials in Vienna.

The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said the US strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site rendered the enrichment facility inoperable. It said both Israeli and US attacks set back the country’s ability to develop its nuclear weapons by “many years.”

Trump brokered a ceasefire to end the 12-day war between Israel and Iran that appeared to be holding on Wednesday. The president had lashed out at both countries a day earlier, and particularly Israel, over what he said were early violations of the truce. Both nations have said they’ll honour the ceasefire provided their enemy does the same.

How Israel Tricked Iran 20 Top Military Leaders With Fake Meeting to Kill Them

At every step, Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, has dominated Iran over the past 10 days. Each action could be its own movie. Who knew that the Mossad had created inside of Iran a drone factory. These drones proved strategic as the war began in destroying missile launchers and defense systems.

Now we find out that the Mossad was able to lure 20 top military leaders to meet together at the same place so they could be neutralized. Understand, these are brutal killers. Iran is the top state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and it oppresses their own people daily. Christians are forbidden to meet, and if you are the leader of a house church, you can end up in jail.

According to Israeli Journalist Amit Segal (pictured), who can be seen daily on N12, Israel’s most popular news channel, “Israel … create[d] a fake phone call for 20 members of the air force senior staff and call[ed] them to a specific bunker in Tehran.” All Israel News reported, “The fake Israeli phone operation called for an emergency meeting for top IRGC operatives.”

“The ruse successfully drew the entire senior leadership of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),” claimed Segal. At this point, it was quite easy for the Israeli Air Force to zero in on that location, taking out some of the most evil men on the planet.

//Leaders neutralized:
• General Amir Ali Hajizadeh and his deputies, who oversaw Iran’s Aerospace Force/Ballistic Missiles.
• Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the head of Iran’s Armed Forces.
• Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, second in command
• Head of IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, known for repeatedly calling for Israel to be wiped off the map
• Two top nuclear scientists

“The elimination of Iran’s top military leadership meant that there was no one who was ‘alive to give the command to strike back.’ [It] paralyzed the Tehran regime for several hours. However, the ayatollah regime and the IRGC fired a barrage of some 100 ballistic missiles against Israel some time later,” according to All Israel News.

An Israeli security official told Fox News, “We carried out specific activities to help us learn more about them, and then use that information to influence their behavior. We knew this would lead them to meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”
