From all indicators, USA is not as mighty as it claimed and it seems they need Iran's help more than Iran needs theirs.

Do a little maths and check the percentage death of USA to Iran or Italy. You'd say otherwise.

not so, Americans run a liberal democracy and Iran is not that democratic.. Iranian president can order total seat at home and nobody would resist it, if trump tries such democrats would complain, citizens would rush to court

Russia , Iran , China , North Korea would kill you if you try to misbehave

474,988. You could estimate it to around 480000 people. That's very close to 500,000.

The River In Between. Nice story from Amadi.

The disease killed most of the villagers yet they thought the gods were angry.

May God almighty help us all. States like Kano, Oyo, Imo and Bayelsa should really take serious measures because if you see the population of people in markets in these states and how they are overcrowded. You will really be worried for these states

US has close to 200k cases and 4k deaths. Now compare them to the rest of cases you see there and see how high the other death rates are.
If you are thinking China's death rate is 3k that has already been debunked. China had more than 40k deaths out of all their cases. They are already paying the families that lost loved ones in Wuhan hush money for their silence.
So far, the best country that has done well is Germany.

As a sequel we failed to learn from History...We repeated the mistake of 1918.

You grandma must have been a toddler in 1919 at the very best.

Plus, there's a reason why things are better documented than told.

Your grandma probably wasn't born then, or maybe she was in a village where it didn't get to.

The zoo government scrapped it because they don't want this generation to know anything about Biafra or Biafran war but reverse is the case if you know you know. The rising sun will keep shinning.
