Dummy Called Cyril Anyanwu:

This is one of the reasons why I have vehemently and repeatedly opposed the US siting its military base in Nigeria since the 70s. Like I said several times since the 70s, Nigeria must not allow its territory to be used as a US military base, because it would become a target of American enemies in the event of war against America. Like I said, a day would come when America will use Nigeria as a launch pad for its war and Nigeria would become a target by an American enemy during a war against America and I've been proven right. All the Gulf States have now become a target of Iran's attacks, because they allowed the US to establish its military bases in their countries. They've become collateral damages in the hands of Iran and they're becoming restless. Their economies are now suffering and suffocating because of the war.

Iran is turning out to be a more effective enemy than many thought

Furtune

It’s day seven of the war with Iran. The U.S.’s allies in the Gulf are beginning to complain about the collateral damage they are sustaining in the conflict. And Iran has turned out to be surprisingly effective at causing trouble for its attackers. Some Republicans are criticizing President Trump for starting a new war after he promised to end them. 

In the past 24 hours, Israel conducted more strikes against Hezbollah in Beirut and continues to pound Tehran. Iran launched a new missile attack on Israel. Qatar stopped a drone attack on the U.S.’s largest base in the Middle East. Four suspected Iranian spies were arrested in the U.K. for conducting surveillance on the Jewish community. More than 23,000 flights have been canceled globally since Iran’s first retaliatory strike, according to Fortune’s Sasha Rogelberg. Iran has now gone six straight days without the internet.

Iran has begun targeting hyperscaler data centers in the Middle East operated by Amazon and Microsoft. “The Iranians view data centers as part of the conflict,” Matt Pearl of the Center for Strategic and International Studies told the Financial Times. “This is one way of having an actual impact on the region.”

Global energy prices continued to rise after an Iranian missile struck the only oil refinery in Bahrain, Fortune’s Jordan Blum reports. “The attack showed that Iran is now willing and able to land direct hits on the major energy assets of its Gulf neighbors, putting the safety of the regional infrastructure in further doubt.”

U.S. allies are losing patience with Trump

Qatar’s energy minister warned that the war could “bring down the economies of the world” by causing a complete shutdown of all Gulf energy exporters, driving oil to $150 a barrel. “Everybody that has not called for force majeure we expect will do so in the next few days that this continues. All exporters in the Gulf region will have to call force majeure,” Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times.

The business community in Dubai is livid. “Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?” Khalaf Al Habtoor, a billionaire Dubai hotel owner, said in a post on X. “You have placed the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab countries at the heart of a danger they did not choose.”

Analyst Ed Yardeni is having second thoughts: His team previously thought the conflict would be short. “On Tuesday, we had second thoughts about the length of the war. The Iranian regime had prepared for the war by adopting a chaos strategy, launching missiles and drones not just at U.S. and Israeli targets, but at its neighbors as well. The strategy includes shutting down the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping. By causing all this pain, Iran’s regime hopes that it will pressure its adversaries to negotiate a ceasefire that keeps the regime in power.”

ICPC Traces Multi-Million-Dollar Luxury Villas, Apartments In Egypt To Former Kaduna Governor El-Rufai –Report

Sahara Reporters 

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has reportedly traced several luxury real estate assets in Egypt to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as investigations into alleged corruption during his tenure deepen.

According to TheCable, investigators discovered at least six high-value properties linked to El-Rufai in Cairo, Egypt’s capital city.

Sources familiar with the probe told TheCable that the properties include three luxury villas and multiple apartments located in upscale districts in Cairo.

TheCable reported that the villas are situated in Arabella Estate and Banafsik Estate, both located in New Cairo, areas known for high-end residential developments. Market checks indicate that villas in those estates typically sell for between $1 million and $1.3 million each.

In addition, several apartments allegedly linked to the former governor were traced to Cairo Festival City, where individual units are valued at approximately $500,000 each.

Sources privy to the investigation said the properties were allegedly acquired between 2021 and 2023, a period when El-Rufai was serving his second term as governor of Kaduna State.

The discovery has drawn renewed scrutiny because the former governor had previously claimed publicly that he owned only a single house.

In a 2023 Hausa interview, El-Rufai had dismissed allegations that he amassed properties during his time in office.

According to Daily Trust, he said: “We aren’t like such people. I became the Governor of Kaduna State with only one house located at Danja Street in Unguwan Sarki, Kaduna.

“I have completed my tenure, Alhamdulillah… that is my only house. I don’t have any other house. I didn’t build a mansion. I don’t even need it.”

The ICPC is currently investigating El-Rufai over alleged financial impropriety during his eight-year tenure as Kaduna governor between 2015 and 2023.

SaharaReporters gathered that the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has been in the custody of the anti-corruption agency since February 18.

During the probe, ICPC operatives reportedly raided his Abuja residence on February 19, where wire-tapping equipment was allegedly discovered.

Before his detention by the commission, El-Rufai had also been grilled by the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations that the telephone of Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, was tapped.

The DSS later filed a three-count charge against him for allegedly intercepting the NSA’s telephone conversation.

He had earlier spent two nights at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after arriving in Nigeria from Cairo on February 12.

The investigations stem partly from findings by the Kaduna State House of Assembly, which in 2024 indicted El-Rufai over the alleged diversion of N423 billion in public funds and suspected money laundering.

The lawmakers subsequently urged anti-graft agencies to investigate the former governor.

Meanwhile, El-Rufai’s legal team has accused the ICPC of abusing the legal process in its continued detention of their client.

In a formal protest letter addressed to the ICPC chairman, El-Rufai’s lead counsel, Ubong Akpan, described the commission’s actions as an “absolute disgrace” to the legal profession.

Akpan alleged that the anti-corruption agency secured a 14-day remand order on February 19, 2026 through what he described as “fraudulent representations” and has since failed to charge the former governor before a court of competent jurisdiction.

The lawyer also accused the commission of “forum shopping”, arguing that it approached a Magistrate Court in Bwari on allegations of money laundering, which he said fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal High Court.

“What we have witnessed from the Commission over the past 15 days is nothing short of an absolute disgrace to the practice of law... that would shame any law enforcement agency in any civilised jurisdiction,” Akpan said in the letter.

He further alleged that the original remand order was never served on El-Rufai or his legal representatives, describing it as a violation of his constitutional right to fair hearing.

According to him, the commission also attempted to renew what he called a “void order” before a court lacking jurisdiction after the initial remand period expired on March 4, 2026.

Akpan warned that the continued detention of the former governor without charges violates Section 35 of the Nigerian Constitution, which protects citizens from unlawful detention.

“Every hour El-Rufai remains in your custody is a separate and distinct tort of false imprisonment,” he warned, adding that the ICPC chairman could be held personally liable.

The legal team is demanding El-Rufai’s immediate release, a public apology in three national newspapers, and N2 billion in damages.

Akpan also threatened to petition the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee against lawyers working with the ICPC who allegedly participated in the process, while also signalling plans to report the matter to the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police for further investigation.

Abe nwa dee Madu, 

Those two adages should be obsolete in the 21st century world because they are parochial and seeming to be excess alcohol consumption-induced. If by "nmaekwu" you mean kitchen knife, then the adage is pathetically dumb since not every dish or diner was prepared by deploying the services of a kitchen knife. If you ate pizza for dinner, how would finding your kitchen knife reveal to those who didn't witness your consuming the pizza that your dinner was pizza? My point: reviewing the kitchen knife does not always reveal, to outsiders, what had been dined on before their arrival, as the adage claims.

I first heard the second adage in Biafra, as a child, in a song of Rex Lawson's. Reviewing it as an educated today, I have no hesitation in asserting that it is patently dumb. How could a sheep that gave birth to a ram be childless? I asked this question as a child and I was told that it is because rams sire sheep into producing offspring for others, not for the owner of the ram. This is pathetically dumb and selfish -- if your ram sires a sheep, you are entitled to one of the offspring, this is a general rule all across the farming world but I did not know it as a child to have countered the elders who tried to make sense of this adage to me.   

Nwanna, we (educated Africans) have a responsibility to updating our adages and mores to be inline with knowledge acquired through science (knowledge that was not available to our ancestors who formulated these adages). When you encounter an adage that nascent knowledge has upturned, do your best to add an addendum to it, at a minimum, don't just repeat it verbatim and allow youngsters to latch onto it. Alternatively, you can write another book.

Trump fooled them. From a few hours war, to a few days war, to a few weeks war to few months and even longer. From regime change, to nuclear weapons and others in-between as reasons for thr war. They all fell for the trick and now suffering high gas prices, restricted travel, high debt and high inflation. Trump doesn't even know anything about Iran or consequences of the war he is fighting. Iran is different from Venezuela. Iran has been planning and preparing for it for a long time. Majority of their arsenals have been buried underground all over the country. Iran knows what they're doing, but Trump doesn't know what he is doing. He thinks air and sea powers are all it would take to dismantle Iran and change their leadership. Iran is stronger than that. Their Ayatollahism is deeply rooted and entrenched in Iran. They can fight for years and have a new Ayatollah at the snap of their fingers. They want America to commit American ground toops and deployment, so that the war can reverberate in America among the public, but Trump didn't have any clue. He thought he could just overrun the country in hours and declare victory and that would be it. Now, he is facing the reality of the war and the world economy has turned upside down with no end in sight. The gulf countries got played too. Their countries are now used as launch pads by America and they are at the receiving end. Their economies have been cascaded and their travel and tourism have been grounded, while their infrastructures are going up in flames. 

They will never learn.

What Americans think about the war in Iran, according to recent polls

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are divided along party lines on U.S. military action against Iran, according to polls conducted since the war began, with most polls showing opposition is higher than support.

Polls suggest that many Americans are worried the military action is making the U.S. “less safe,” even as they see Iran as a threat to U.S. security. There are also warning signs for President Donald Trump as he confronts the possibility of a prolonged conflict that could come with significant economic turmoil. Trump gave conflicting messages on Monday about the war’s timeline, suggesting it could be near its end while also threatening additional force against Iran if the country disrupted the global flow of oil.

Republicans are largely behind the president, a Republican, the polls show, but there are indications that they are wary of any response that would lead to U.S. troops on the ground in Iran. And after Trump campaigned on the pledge of putting “America first” and ending U.S. involvement in “forever wars,” the Iran conflict could become a particular point of friction.

More oppose than support the US military action

About half of registered voters — 53% — oppose U.S. military action against Iran, according to a new Quinnipiac Poll conducted over the weekend. Only 4 in 10 support it, and about 1 in 10 are uncertain. A new Ipsos poll also found more disapprove than approve of the strikes.

That's similar to the results of text message snap polls from The Washington Post and CNN, both conducted shortly after the joint U.S.-Israel attacks began, which also indicated that more Americans rejected the military action than embraced it.

A recent Fox News poll found opinions more evenly divided: Half of registered voters approved of the U.S. military action, while half disapproved.

Several of the recent polls show a majority of Americans believe the Trump administration has not provided a clear explanation of the reasons behind the military strikes, and there are some divisions about whether Iran truly posed an “imminent and direct threat” to the United States, as the White House has said.

Most voters in the Quinnipiac poll — 55% — said they did not believe Iran posed an “imminent military threat” to the U.S. before the current military action. On the other hand, about 6 in 10 registered voters in the Fox News poll said Iran poses a “real national security threat,” and a recent AP-NORC poll found about half of U.S. adults were highly concerned that Iran’s nuclear program posed a direct threat to the U.S.

Voters are worried about gas prices

As oil prices oscillate, the vast majority of voters are “very” or “somewhat” concerned about oil and gasoline prices rising in the U.S., according to the Quinnipiac poll. Only about one-quarter of voters are “not so concerned” or “not concerned at all.”

The highest levels of concern are driven by Democrats and independents, but about half of Republicans are also at least somewhat concerned about the war increasing gas prices.

About two-thirds of Americans expect U.S. gas prices will “get worse” over the next year as a result of the U.S. military action, according to the Ipsos poll conducted March 6-9. Republicans were more likely to say gas prices would worsen than improve as a result of the war: 44% said they would get worse, while 26% expected they would improve. About 2 in 10 thought they would remain the same. Democrats and independents overwhelmingly expect gas prices will worsen.

On Monday, Trump said the U.S. would take further action against Iran if they made any attempt to stop the global oil supply.

About half worry about US safety, doubt Trump's judgment

As the Iran war spreads into the Middle East, many Americans also worry Trump's military decisions have made the U.S. less safe.

About half of voters in both the Quinnipiac and Fox News polls said the U.S. military action in Iran makes the U.S. “less safe,” while only about 3 in 10 in each poll said it made the country safer. The CNN poll found about half of U.S. adults thought the strikes would make Iran “more of a threat” to the U.S., while only about 3 in 10 thought it would lessen the danger.

About 6 in 10 U.S. adults said they trusted Trump “not much” or “not at all” to make the right decisions about the U.S. use of force in Iran, according to the CNN poll. Republicans expressed more trust in the president than Democrats or independents.

AP-NORC poll conducted before the strikes similarly found that 56% of U.S. adults trusted Trump “only a little” or “not at all” to make the right decisions about the use of military force abroad.

Concerns about deploying troops

Most voters are concerned about a possible expansion in the war’s scope.

About three-quarters of voters oppose the idea of sending ground troops into Iran, according to the Quinnipiac poll that was conducted after the deaths of six U.S. service members were announced. The death of a seventh service member was reported later.

Only about 2 in 10 in the Quinnipiac poll supported sending troops to Iran. Even among Republican voters, the poll found more oppose than support sending ground troops, 52% to 37%.

The new Ipsos poll found bipartisan concern that the U.S. military action would risk the lives of American military personnel. About 9 in 10 U.S. adults are “very” or “somewhat” concerned about this, including 86% or Republicans and 93% of Democrats.

"You want me to say that I am doing my worst?  I wont say that to please you." ---- Bolaji Aluko

You're doing very bad and worse than expected of you. You lived America for ages before you relocated to Nigeria to join Ekiti Government. Much is expected of you having lived in America and having been a member of Nigerians in Diaspora and Nigerian forums where we discuss Nigerian issues.

1. After checking out all your assignments, duties and performance in Ekiti State since Kayode Fayemi tenure as Governor of Ekiti State which continued under Biodun Banji, you have performed woefully. I scored you 5 out of 100.

2. You recommended Ekiti airport to Fayemi, despite knowing that Ekiti State is not suitable and ready for an airport, because you don't have the air travel population, amenities, infrastructure, businesses, technology and traffic for an airport and you knew a lot of airports in Nigeria that were establishment before Ekiti State Airport failed woefully, yet you recommended an airport to your government, because of yourself. You want to be able to fly in and out from Ekiti and that's selfish of you.

3. You and your governor failed woefully to do your homework or what I call feasibility study before you started the project under Fayemi.

4. During Fayemi Administration, the airport failed to take off like I knew, for a number of reasons, which I stated, including the reasons like lack of feasibility, lack of infrastructure, lack of technology, lack of jetway, lack of Control tower and lack of what we call Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul or MRO, high airport operational costs which most states in Nigeria, including your Ekiti State can't afford, among others, yet you insisted on establishing the airport at all cost.

5. When you came back to the forums last year under Banji Administration, with your persistence of establishing the airport, I reiterated my points to  you why it's wrong for your state to establish the airport, because it's bound to fail and I offered to help and assist you and Banji at no cost to both of you, and  ensure that the airport succeeds, since your Ekiti government had already committed to the project and spent a lot of money on the project, while at the same time telling you what the airport lacked, including a control tower and a jetway and I asked to commit that you will do what l  will ask you to do, which you rejected in these forums and disappeared into the thin air, because you're all about yourself.

You are a big disappointment. You have failed the Diaspora that natured you. You represent the Diaspora in Nigeria.  Nigerian people and governments will look at you and what you do to judge the quality of Nigerians in Diaspora.

If writing lengthy articles leads to development, Nigeria would be the most developed country today, because that's one area Nigeria is blessed with. Nigerians can write, write and write till eternity. 

Unfortunately, writing lengthy missives and criticisms don't translate to development. Development comes from vision, actual performance and hard work, not through articles.

Go to China, which I visited not long ago and see wonders. I can tell you today that China has surpassed America in technology and innovation and will soon surpass America in development. It will take America 50 years to catch up with China technologically. If the Chinese were writing lengthy articles without performance and actual work, they won't be where where they are today. 

I once attended an international conference at the Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) Lagos in the 70s, where developing countries from around gathered to chart way forward, to achieve what countries like Japan, US, France and UK achieved back then. The same China that has rapidly developed today were also in attendance. When Nigeria took the stage, it was lengthy talk and talk and talk. The Chinese envied Nigeria, because we were rich with oil money back then. China didn't talk much, but praised Nigeria's so-called vision for development and for organizing the conference. Back in the 70s when the conference took place, China and Nigeria were at the same developmental level. See China's amazing transformation today. I felt sad about Nigeria in China. It was as if the Chinese were some kind of aliens that are not from this world. I was stunned to say the least. It was as if I was visiting Mars.

HISTORY REWARDS REFORMERS, NOT COMPLAINERS

By Prof Lere Baale

The mindset determines whether a cup is half-filled or half-empty. But more profoundly, it determines whether we choose to refill it, redesign the cup, or abandon the table altogether.

Nations do not collapse first in infrastructure; they collapse first in imagination. They do not rise first in GDP; they rise first in belief systems. A defeated mindset manufactures a defeated future. A constructive mindset manufactures possibility.

To declare that “Nigeria is finished” is not analysis — it is abdication. It is intellectual surrender dressed up as sophistication. No serious student of history arrives at such a conclusion, because history is a relentless witness: civilizations have faced darker seasons and emerged stronger when reformers chose responsibility over despair.

History rewards reformers, not complainers.

Lessons from Nations That Refused to Die

Singapore

At independence in 1965, Singapore had no natural resources, fragile social cohesion, and severe economic vulnerability. Many predicted its collapse. But disciplined leadership, institutional integrity, anti-corruption enforcement, strategic education reform, and long-term planning transformed it into a global hub. Singapore did not complain about its limitations. It engineered its transformation.

Rwanda

After the 1994 genocide, Rwanda stood devastated — socially fractured and institutionally broken. Yet through governance reform, civic discipline, accountability structures, and national reorientation, it repositioned itself. Pain was acknowledged, but it was not allowed to define destiny. Reform replaced resentment.

Germany

After World War II, Germany lay in ruins — economically bankrupt and physically destroyed. Yet structural economic reform, industrial rebuilding, productivity discipline, and institutional accountability created what became known as the “economic miracle.” Collapse was real. Reform was stronger.

These examples are not romantic stories. They are structured demonstrations of a principle: nations are rebuilt by reformers, not by rhetoricians of despair.

Nigeria Is Not Finished — She Is Unfinished

There is a fundamental distinction.

A finished nation has exhausted its possibilities.

An unfinished nation invites builders.

Nigeria is unfinished. Complex. Imperfect. Evolving. The presence of corruption does not eliminate potential. Institutional inefficiency does not erase capacity. Economic hardship does not cancel destiny.

The intellectual giant is not the one who predicts collapse.

The intellectual giant is the one who designs recovery.

Disciplined Optimism: The Mindset of Reform

Authentic leadership is not blind optimism. It is disciplined optimism.

Disciplined optimism acknowledges:

• There are gaps in governance.

• Infrastructure is insufficient.

• Regulatory processes require reform.

• Institutions lack capacity in key sectors.

But disciplined optimism insists:

Gaps are invitations for design.

Weaknesses are signals for restructuring.

Failures are data points for improvement.

Optimism is not denial of reality. It is refusal to surrender to it.

The Danger of Intellectual Pessimism

When intellectuals default to pessimism, three corrosive effects follow:

First, they demoralize the next generation.

Second, they normalize mediocrity by suggesting change is impossible.

Third, they hand narrative power to those who thrive on chaos.

Serious thinkers do not romanticize problems — but neither do they dramatize them. They diagnose rigorously. They propose intelligently. They engage constructively.

It is intellectually lazy to criticize without structured alternatives.

It is intellectually immature to amplify despair without presenting data.

It is morally irresponsible to influence public opinion without offering direction.

A gathering of intellectuals must be a marketplace of ideas — not an echo chamber of frustration.

The Architecture of Reform

Reform requires:

• Evidence-based criticism

• Systems thinking

• Long-term strategy

• Institutional redesign

• Ethical courage

• Measured communication

Reform is not emotional outrage. It is disciplined construction.

If policies fail, redesign them.

If systems are weak, strengthen them.

If leadership disappoints, model better standards.

If processes are slow, reengineer them.

Complaining produces noise.

Reforming produces legacy.

Hope as Strategic Discipline

Hope is not naïveté. Hope is strategy.

Hope fuels persistence through resistance.

Hope sustains reform through criticism.

Hope anchors vision during uncertainty.

Every generation must choose:

Become commentators of decline or architects of renewal.

History is not kind to cynics. It is generous to builders.

The Reform Imperative for Nigeria

Nigeria does not lack talent.

Nigeria does not lack resources.

Nigeria does not lack intellectual capital.

What Nigeria requires is coordinated reform energy — institutional architects who combine vision with execution.

Reform in governance.

Reform in education.

Reform in regulatory systems.

Reform in economic productivity.

Reform in ethical leadership.

The future will not be shaped by those who shout the loudest.

It will be shaped by those who build the longest.

Reflections

 1. In what areas of national discourse have I unconsciously contributed to despair rather than direction?

 2. Do my criticisms include actionable alternatives?

 3. Am I a commentator on problems or a contributor to solutions?

 4. What institutional reforms can I influence within my sphere?

 5. Does my language strengthen morale or weaken it?

 6. Have I confused realism with resignation?

Action Points

 1. Replace Complaint with Construction

For every criticism you voice publicly, develop at least one structured alternative proposal.

 2. Engage Data Before Emotion

Ground national conversations in research, metrics, and comparative analysis rather than sentiment.

 3. Model Reform Locally

Reform begins in micro-systems — your organization, community, profession, or institution.

 4. Mentor Reform-Minded Leaders

Encourage younger professionals to think in systems, not slogans.

 5. Practice Disciplined Language

Communicate gaps without dramatization. Inspire without exaggeration.

 6. Build Coalitions for Change

Reform is rarely a solo effort. Partner with professionals across sectors.

 7. Design Long-Term Strategies

Shift conversations from immediate frustration to 5–10 year reform frameworks.

Closing Charge

Nigeria is not finished. She is unfinished.

An unfinished nation calls for architects — not undertakers.

History will not remember who complained the loudest.

It will remember who restructured institutions, strengthened systems, restored confidence, and expanded opportunity.

The cup may not be full — but it is not empty.

The question is not whether we lament the level.

The question is whether we possess the courage, discipline, and vision to refill it.

History rewards reformers, not complainers.

Bolaji Aluko:

You have only one airline called United Nigeria Airlines out of several airlines operating in Nigeria patronizing your ill-conceived airport and they don't have a hub in your Ekiti State Airport. They operate what I call Stop Over System in Ekiti to pick up passengers that might be going to Abuja or Lagos, including yourself. Why, because you don't have the travel population and traffic that can accommodate more airlines. Only 10 to 14 people travel in and out of your Ekiti Airport four days a week like I knew they would.

You don't have a jetway for your passengers to use for direct entry into the planes. They all rush to the tarmac in the sun and in the rain to board the plane like people at Ajegule Bus Stop boarding Molue, despite living in America and using jetways to board planes whenever you are in America. You think like Nebukadimonkey Adiele's Mbaise Bush people who are still living a Neanderthal life in this millennium in Nigeria.

You don't have waiting area at the airport for your passengers. They all wait outside in the sun and in the rain to board the plane.

You claimed your Ekiti State Airport is the neated airport in Nigeria, but neatness is only one part of what is required of an airport. There are plenty of things missing at your airport.

You don't have the technology to run a modern day airport among other things.

I offered you at no cost to help you and your government to turn your airport to one of the busiest airports in Nigeria and bring plenty of air travelers, businesses and revenues to your mini state, you declined.

Good for you!

Gbam! Trump is trying to chicken out of the war with Iran. He is trying to use Russia to cajole Iran to end the war he started. He said the war is complete and nothing more to target, because he doesn't understand Iran. He thought ending a war is as simple as saying the war is over. He thought Iran is Venezuela where all it took was take their leader to the US and declared victory. He is already declaring victory in Iran, in the middle of the war, where Iran is dug in, preparing for ground war, while attacking its neighbors and the ships that are trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz. He pull America and the world into a war that is not necessary to begin with and now he can't get out of it, even if he wants to. Israel won't let him. He roped himself into a war he can't get out of and now facing severe criticisms at home for taking America to war.

He will never learn.

 3 ships struck near Strait of Hormuz; Trump says war will end soon because there's 'nothing left to target'

The New York Times reported Wednesday that a preliminary investigation found the U.S. at fault for the deadly Feb. 28 strike on a girls' school.

Three ships were struck near the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, a day after President Trump warned that the United States would intensify its bombardment if Iran continues to block shipments through the waterway vital to the world’s oil supply.

The vessels were struck by unknown projectiles, maritime security agencies said. Ship traffic through the narrow strait has effectively come to a halt.

Iranian drones also struck near Dubai International Airport as Tehran vowed to ramp up its attacks across the Middle East.

Trump told Axios that U.S. military operation against Iran — now in its 12th day — would be over soon because there’s “practically nothing left to target.” But he later told reporters that “we have hit them harder than virtually any country in history has been hit, and we’re not finished yet.”

The New York Times reported that a preliminary investigation found the U.S. at fault for a strike that killed 165 people, including many children, at a girls' school in Iran on Feb. 28.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader, was wounded in the airstrikes that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The younger Khamenei has not made any public appearances since his appointment earlier this week.

Meanwhile, the death toll continues to rise. At least 1,230 people have been killed in Iran since the U.S.-Israeli strikes began on Feb. 28. Nearly 400 people in Lebanon have been killed and at least 12 in Israel, according to officials in those countries.

I said it the other time that ICPC has the power to seize and examine those devices and other thing after obtaining warrant from the court. The thief called El-Rufai and his dumb lawyers failed law woefully.

Court grants ICPC access to analyse electronic devices seized from El-Rufai’s residence

Daily Post 

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday granted the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) permission to access and analyze electronic devices recovered from the residence of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik approved the order following an ex-parte motion filed by ICPC’s lawyer, Osuobeni Akponimisingha.

The motion sought authorization for the commission to inspect, conduct forensic examinations, and extract data from the devices in connection with its ongoing investigation into the former governor.

According to reports by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), ICPC operatives recovered 14 electronic devices from El-Rufai’s Abuja residence, including a Sony HD-EGS storage device, ITB Transcend storage device, Toshiba storage device, Samsung and Nokia mobile phones, a Blackberry device, Google IDEOS phone, Samsung storage device (SPO802N), Remarkable tablet, Apple MacBook Pro, Seagate FreeAgent desk external drive, ZTE mobile phone, ten flash drives, and a microSD card.

The ex-parte motion is part of case FHC/ABJ/CS/499/2026, titled Federal Republic of Nigeria vs. Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. El-Rufai is simultaneously challenging the search in a separate suit, seeking N1 billion in damages, under case FHC/ABJ/CS/345/2026, filed on February 20 by Oluwole Iyamu.

In his fundamental rights enforcement suit, El-Rufai alleges that the February 19 search of his residence at 12 Mambilla Street, Aso Drive, Abuja, violated his rights to dignity, personal liberty, fair hearing, and privacy under Sections 34, 35, 36, and 37 of the Nigerian Constitution.

He also contends that any evidence obtained from the search is inadmissible, seeking an injunction preventing its use in any proceedings against him.

Additionally, he demands the immediate return of all seized items along with an inventory, and claims N1 billion in general, exemplary, and aggravated damages.

In response, ICPC maintained that the search followed a valid warrant issued on February 18, executed on February 19 between 1:37 pm and 3:56 pm at the former governor’s residence.

The commission stated that the operation, which involved the Nigeria Police Force, was witnessed by El-Rufai’s wife, Hadiza, and his son, Mohammed. ICPC urged the court to dismiss El-Rufai’s suit, asserting that its actions were lawful and part of a legitimate investigation.

The Nigeria Police Force, in a counter-affidavit deposed by Insp. Ewa Anthony, also defended the search.

The police emphasized that it was conducted under a valid court order and in full compliance with legal procedures, rejecting claims that the warrant was invalid.

They argued that El-Rufai’s suit attempts to use the court as a shield against ongoing investigations and potential prosecution.

The case remains pending before the Federal High Court, with the authorization allowing ICPC to continue its forensic examination of the recovered devices.

Your responsibilities include planning, design and implementation of all Capital Projects in Ekiti State, including Airport, Schools, Hospitals and other capital projects; Roads, Bridges, Buildings, Security, Electricity, Water, Sanitation, others all of which I mentioned earlier and all of which you failed woefully in (I checked all of them), and you are expected to work in collaboration with all ministries and agencies in the state regarding their implementation:

• Infrastructure Development: Supervising the design, planning, and implementation of major capital projects, including roads, buildings, and sanitation facilities.
• Public Utilities Management: Ensuring the continuous supply and maintenance of critical utilities, particularly water, electricity, and sanitation facilities across the state.
• Project Oversight: Ensuring contractors adhere strictly to technical specifications, quality standards, and timelines for projects, such as the 110 solar-powered boreholes and WASH facilities.
• Energy Regulation: Developing and regulating the power sector, including electricity, renewable energy, and power generation/distribution, through initiatives like the Ile Iyi Electric Power Company Nigeria Limited.
• Strategic Planning: Collaborating with other state agencies to implement Governor Biodun Oyebanji's administration's infrastructure development goals

Dumb MAGA Called Cyril Anyanwu:

Here is your discombobulated MAGA leader called Trump and his bucket of discombobulation in Iran war.

Enjoy!

How is the war?

March 8: It’s just the beginning. “What I want your viewers to understand is this is only just the beginning.” [Hegseth]

March 9: ‘Pretty much’ complete. “I think the war is very complete, pretty much.” [Trump]

March 9: Both complete and just beginning. “Well, I think you could say both [very complete and just the beginning].” [Trump]

March 9: Not enough winning yet. “We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough. We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long running danger once and for all.” [Trump]

March 9: Will go further. “We could call it a tremendous success right now — as we leave here, I could call it — or we could go further, and we’re going to go further.” [Trump]

March 11: U.S. already won. “You know, you never want to say too early you won. We won. The first hour, it was over.” [Trump]

March 11: U.S. needs to ‘finish the job.’ “We don’t want to leave early, do we? We’ve got to finish the job.” [Trump]

March 13: Strikes ramping up. “Today will be yet again, the highest volume of strikes that America has put over the skies of Iran and Tehran. The number of sorties and number of bomber pulses, the highest yet ramping up and only up.” [Hegseth]

How long will the war last?

March 2: Four to five weeks or longer. “Right from the beginning, we projected four to five weeks. But we have capability to go far longer than that. … Somebody said today, they said, ‘Oh, well, the president wants to do it really quickly, after that, he’ll get bored.’ I don’t get bored. There’s nothing boring about this.” [Trump]

March 2: More or less than two, four or six weeks. “President Trump has all the latitude in the world to talk about how long it may or may not take — four weeks, two weeks, six weeks. It could move up, it could move back.” [Hegseth]

March 2: ‘As far as we need to go.’ “We’ll go as far as we need to go to advance American interest. But we’re not dumb about it. You don’t have to roll 200,000 people in there and stay for 20 years.” [Hegseth]

March 10: It’s up to Trump. “From the beginning, from this podium, we haven’t stated how long it will take. Our will is endless. Ultimately, the president gets to determine the end state of those objectives, right? But what he’s said continually, I want the American people to understand, is this is not endless. It’s not protracted. We’re not allowing mission creep. The president has set a very specific mission to accomplish, and our job is to unrelentingly deliver that.” [Hegseth]

March 10: It’s up to Trump. “We know that the U.S. military and our brave war fighters are quickly and expeditiously executing these objectives well ahead of schedule. But ultimately, the operations will end when the commander in chief determines the military objectives have been met, fully realized, and that Iran is in a position of complete and unconditional surrender, whether they say it or not.” [Leavitt]

[Kayode Adebayo]

Dumb MAGA Called Cyril Anyanwu:

When will the war end?

March 13 4.09pm: "Iranian leaders are deranged scumbags. It will end when I feel it in my bones" [Trump】

Now, It can't get more interesting, worse or crazier than this! Trump is making America very great again.
