Hong Kong, China – As the world dey watch Iran wahala, Putin and Xi don show up like big bros wey wan settle matter for their paddy, Kim. On Thursday, as US President Donald Trump dey prepare to hit Iran like say na football head, both leaders don come together to call for ceasefire. Dem wan make sure say dem no be part of wahala wey fituka global tensions.
Both Putin and Xi no dey smile for how Israel dey treat Iran, as dem talk say na breach of UN law. But e no too fit too loud – especially since Russia dey fight im own war for Ukraine. (E be like say dem no fit see wetin dem dey do as dem dey point finger at Israel.)
Xi dey try manage matter well, but e no wan go full-on attack mode on Israel. Naija padi go like dem for this move: dem tell dem guys (especially Israel) to calm down before e cause gbege wey go affect everybody.
Japan and Western leaders dey raise eyebrow, as e clear say China dey turn the heat. Some experts don already point finger for Trump and him jaga-jaga policies wey dey turn Middle East into giant frypan. According to Liu Zhongmin, a professor for Shanghai International Studies, Trump dey scatter di US image for that area, and na so Iran wahala fit don flared up.
But wait, make we blow mind small: sit-tight Khamenei dey hold Iran tight like say na im get national anthem. But if e waka go check Jesus before dem find another head to fix, Iran fit scatter and turn to serious chaos. People dey already dey reason say if Khamenei no fit lead again, different groups from different tribes fit start to rascal their wahala because many dey long to regain power.
As all these drama dey unfold, even the Gulf Arab countries dey fear say if e burst, they go join inside fire. UAE don already reach out to Iran and US to vibe about chillin’ this waka before wahala blow everywhere, just like pepper soup spice wey don overheat. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia don also call for some maturity, making sure say dem no enter inside wahala wey go turn everything upside down.
So as Putin and Xi dey flex their muscles, dem still need to jam some brakes and look fine. Dem fit use this as chance to become the big boys on the block, but we go see if dem sabi balance am well. One thing dey sure: the Middle East no be play mat and dem go need more than sweet mouth to cool the matter down.
