Israel-US war has displaced 2 million in Palestine, more than 3.2 million people in Iran, and almost 1.5 million people in Lebanon—Nearly 7 million people Israel has forced to leave their homes across the Middle East since 2023.
The number of people Israel killed in Palestine is ~88,500 (with the missing people under the rubble), almost 6,000 in Lebanon, nearly 4,000 in Iran, and about 1,500 in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria—Nearly 100,000 people Israel has killed across the Middle East since 2023.
Is Israel the only one that has the right to exist and live in the region, while everyone else has the right to die?
This is just too funny 🤦♂️
Trump's justification for extending his deadline by 2 weeks is that Pakistan's Prime Minister "requested" it.
But when you look at the edit history of the post in question by Pakistan's PM, where he "requests" the extension, it's painfully obvious it was sent to him by the White House since he first stupidly posted it with the mention "Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X" 🤣
This is the 3rd time I will be tweeting this and I will keep tweeting it until you stop vilifying Iran ignorantly.
My job is to counter all the misinformation and attempt to project the US as the hero in this conflict.
A BREAKDOWN OF THE IRAN Vs US CONFLICTS AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED:
1. Iran in the early 1950s was a constitutional monarchy which mixed Democracy and Monarchy and had a balance.
They had an elected parliament (Majles), political parties, and a prime minister chosen through parliamentary politics until the United States and Britain intervened.
In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh became Prime Minister. He was widely popular and moved to nationalise Iran’s oil industry, which had been controlled by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
In 1953, the CIA and Britain’s MI6 orchestrated the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, also known as Operation Ajax.
The coup removed Mosaddegh from power
Strengthened Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who reversed oil nationalisation.
The Shah’s Rule from 1953–1979 after the coup, the Shah gradually consolidated power.
Political opposition was suppressed
Secret police (United States-funded SAVAK) were empowered, elections became controlled, and Iran rapidly became authoritarian.
In 1979, mass protests led to the fall of the Shah due to excessive oppression. The revolution brought Ruhollah Khomeini to power and established the Islamic Republic.
The new system replaced monarchy with clerical rule under the concept of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist).
2. After the Islamic Revolution, the US admitted the exiled Shah for medical treatment, which Iranians saw as protecting a tyrant. This directly triggered the US embassy hostage crisis (Iranian response), after which the US severed ties, froze Iranian assets, and imposed initial sanctions marking the start of long-term economic isolation.
3. From 1980–1988 The US provided Saddam Hussein with intelligence, weapons, economic aid, and even overlooked his use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops and civilians (killing hundreds of thousands of Iranians). This was a deliberate proxy effort to weaken post-revolutionary Iran.
4. In 1988 a US warship shot down a civilian Iranian passenger plane over Iranian airspace, killing all 290 people aboard including 66 children.
The US called it a "mistake," but awarded the commander a medal.
So when unlearned people gaslight you and present whatever the United States is doing in Iran as a gesture of goodwill to its people, this is the sequence of events that led Iran to evolve into a centralised government and has to be militarily strong for its own security.
And to protect itself against Western aggression.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 7.5% VAT ON TRANSFERS: STOP PANICKING!
If you’ve seen the news that a 7.5% VAT on mobile transfers and USSD transactions starts on January 19th, you might be worried that the government is about to "eat" your money.
The headlines are scaring people, but the math shouldn't. A lot of people are misinterpreting this directive. Let’s break it down simply so you can see the actual impact.
1. The Big Misconception
Many people think that if they send ₦100,000, the government will take 7.5% of that amount (which would be ₦7,500).
THIS IS 100% FALSE.
2. The Reality
The 7.5% VAT is NOT charged on the money you are sending (the principal). It is charged ONLY on the SERVICE FEE your bank or fintech (Moniepoint, OPay, Kuda, etc.) charges you.
3. Let’s Look At The Math
If you send ₦100,000 today:
• The Principal: ₦100,000 (Your money)
• The Bank Fee: ₦50.00 (What the bank charges for the service)
• The 7.5% VAT: ₦3.75 (This is the charge, 7.5% of the ₦50 fee)
• EMTL (Stamp Duty): ₦50.00 (The standard flat levy)
• TOTAL COST TO YOU: ₦100,103.75
4. What about USSD?
If you use a code like *737# or *919# and the session fee is ₦20:
• The 7.5% VAT on that fee is ₦1.50.
• Your total cost becomes ₦21.50.
It is a kobo-difference, not a life-changing amount.
5. Why Is This Happening? 🤔
The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) is simply ensuring that all digital services are fiscalized. Just like you pay VAT on a bottle of drink or a data plan, you are now paying VAT on the service of digital banking.
The Bottom Line:
Your savings are safe. Your capital isn't being slashed. This is a tax on the bank's commission, not your hard-earned wealth.
Don’t let misinformation cause unnecessary stress. There is a huge difference between a Tax on your Money and a Tax on a Service Fee.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy."
This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years.
And Venezuela just threatened to end it.
Here's what really just happened:
Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.
The largest on Earth.
More than Saudi Arabia.
20% of the entire world's oil.
But here's the part that matters:
Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars.
In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar."
They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil.
They were petitioning to join BRICS.
They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely.
And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades.
Why does this matter?
Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing:
The petrodollar.
In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia:
All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars.
In exchange, America provides military protection.
This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide.
Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil.
This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it.
It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending.
The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers.
And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it:
2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars.
2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched.
The WMDs were never found because they never existed.
2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade.
Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention.
Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar."
2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets.
"We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera.
The gold dinar died with him.
And now Maduro.
With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined.
Actively selling in yuan.
Building payment systems outside dollar control.
Petitioning to join BRICS.
Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran.
The three countries leading global de-dollarization.
This isn't coincidence.
Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed.
Every. Single. Time.
Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago:
"American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property."
He's not hiding it.
They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago.
By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft."
But here's the DEEPER problem:
The petrodollar is already dying.
Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements.
Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years.
China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries.
BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely.
The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies.
Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially.
That's what this invasion is really about.
Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine.
Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization."
Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections.
This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it.
And the consequences are terrifying:
Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression."
China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions.
BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar.
Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message:
Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you.
But here's the problem...
That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it.
Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony.
And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER.
The timing is insane too:
January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured.
January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured.
36 years apart. Almost to the day.
Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse.
Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes.
History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes.
What happens next:
Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative.
US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela."
The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again.
Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya.
But here's what nobody's asking:
What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance?
When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate?
When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"?
When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence?
America just showed its hand.
The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff.
Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits.
When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying.
Venezuela isn't the beginning.
It's the desperate end.
What do you think?

NNPC has four refineries across the country and controls an extensive nationwide network of pipelines and depots, an infrastructure far more robust than Dangote’s reliance on road tankers.
NNPC is also an oil producer, with direct and preferential access to crude oil, an advantage Dangote does not have.
If, despite these structural and institutional advantages, NNPC is unable to compete effectively, then the issue is not Dangote or an imagined monopoly.
A state-backed oil giant with superior assets should not be outperformed by a private refinery unless something is fundamentally broken.
For eight years, Buhari had the wrong people in the right places — Former First Lady, Aisha
Former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has passed a damning verdict on the eight-year tenure of her husband, the immediate past President, late Muhammadu Buhari.
In a book unveiled on Monday at the Banquet Hall of the State House, entitled ‘From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari”’, authored by @DrCOmole, the former First Lady narrated how the former president was held captive by “a small court of elderly relatives and elites”, whom she further described as a “mafia of a certain kind, (with) native intelligence bent to private ends.”
In chapter 22 of the book, with a subtitle, ‘Revelations at Last after the Silence: Aisha Buhari’s Account of the Villa and the Men who fought a Presidency’, the author gave a gripping account of how those who laboured to ensure victory for Buhari in 2015 lost out in the power game at the State House with the mafia dictating who got what, when and how.
The First Lady’s predicament worsened in 2017, two years into the first tenure of the late President as the strong men who “cautioned the president that his wife’s ‘strong character’ would overshadow them if she were let in,” actually plotted to push her out of the Villa.
“In Aisha’s account, the house quickly filled with relatives and their wives and grandchildren, as well as courtiers and staff who learnt the shortcuts and shadows.
“They tried to push everybody out, including me,” she said.
“It is a blunt statement, and she knows it sounds blunt. But she stands firm on her boundaries: ‘This is my house. You can live wherever you like, but you cannot be in charge of my husband’s office and then also be in charge of me, his wife, inside my house.’
“With most of her children living and studying abroad early in Buhari’s first term, extended family members filled the void and occupied houses across the Villa. And because of his fondness and attachment to his extended family and old friends, Buhari was vulnerable to all kinds of scheming and manipulations.
“Those who knew his weaknesses exploited them to the detriment of the lofty goals of his administration.
“She describes a simple, volatile sociology: the president is not just a man; he becomes ‘common property.’ Relatives with no official roles begin to influence access; the people who dined with her husband during the long years of opposition are no longer seen; familiar faces are ‘locked out’, their names allegedly logged by security agents and reported elsewhere.
“When she privately raised these concerns and saw no change, she spoke publicly. She still remembers the shock of the 2015-16 ministerial slate: campaign stalwarts on the outside; technocrats and loyalists of others on the inside; a growing gap between the promise of a movement and the reality of a government. ‘They had money; they had people; but they did not have the power to install a president,’ she says now, almost wryly. They reduced Nigeria to a sitting-room meeting.’”
She attributed the public outcry and sordid judgement trailing the late president’s stewardship to the cabal that held him hostage.
“Her language for the proximal circle is uncompromising. Some followed him to obtain material things (money, access, contracts) and could not distinguish between ‘power’ (purpose, responsibility) and the rewards that proximity provides.”
According to her account, the practical effects were evident: schedules shifted, meals disappeared, allies were excluded, rumours circulated that signatures were forged, and a president who feared being called a dictator hesitated to dismiss men who disappointed him.
“‘He had the wrong people in the right places,’ she says. ‘He didn’t change them for eight years.’”

“I have been, over the years, talking about the pending crisis ahead of the current economic hardship. Any economist who has studied monetary policy in the last eight years knows that Nigerians will fall into this difficult situation.
"The difficult situation Nigerians are facing is just the beginning (if the right decision is not put in place) because Nigeria is not exceptional; such situations happened in Germany, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Venezuela.
“The previous administration turned adamant about our appeal for corrective measures (on the economic policy). I have said in the presence of the now sitting president in Kaduna state, any politician who tells you that things will be easy, don’t vote for him because he is lying. People merely dismissed my advisory as a political statement.
“If I am to be fair and just to President Bola Tinubu, he is not to blame for the current hardship; for eight years, we were living a fake lifestyle with huge debt from foreign and domestic debts. The Central Bank of Nigeria owes over N30 trillion, which resulted in debt service surpassing 100 percent.
"I can’t join other Nigerians criticising Tinubu on the current economic hardship, and I am not saying he is a saint free from wrongdoing, but in this current economic situation, President Tinubu is not to be blamed. I will also speak if I see any wrong economic policy of the Tinubu administration in the future.
“It’s injustice for anyone to blame the Tinubu administration for the current economic hardship because there is no other alternative than the removal of the fuel subsidy. After all, Nigeria cannot even afford to pay the subsidy. In the last eight years, the Central Bank continued to print more money, and the Naira continued to depreciate. There is too much naira in circulation because the CBN is printing the currency without restraint.
“The economy was poorly managed, and they are not willing to take advice; in the last eight years, apart from sycophancy, nothing has been done; those sycophants are those buying the dollar at the rate of N400 and selling it at the rate of N600 to N700.
“A boy who has no record of service has a private jet and owns houses in Dubai and England just because he is buying dollars at so a rate and selling them.I can only plead with the people to endure the hardship, and those who have the means to help the downtrodden should do so.
“I am also pleading with commoners to live according to their earnings; we must not peg our lives above our earnings in this difficult situation where people are looking for what to eat.”
