In spite of the efforts of the Christian churches to black out the life and message of Barnabas, the message of Barnabas has survived. How can it blackout when his name and activities have been enshrined, although partially, in the Holy Bible?

A Jew born in Cyprus, his name was Joses, and due to his devotion to the cause of Jesus, the other apostles had given him the surname Barnabas; this term is variously translated as “ son of consolation” or “son of Exhortation”. He was a successful preacher with a magnetic personality. Anyone tormented by the clash of Creeds fond solace and peace in his company. His eminence as a man who had been close to Jesus had made him a prominent member of the small group of disciple in Jerusalem who had gathered together after the disappearance of Jesus. They observed the law of the prophets, which Jesus had came, not to destroy but to fulfill (Mathews 5:17). They continued to live as Jews and practiced what Jesus had taught them. That Christianity could ever be regarded as a new religion and did not occur to any of them.

They were devote and practicing Jews and they were distinguished from their neighbours, only by their faith in the message of Jesus. In the beginning, they did not organize themselves as a separate sect and did not have a synagogue of their own. There was nothing in the message of Jesus as understood by them, to necessitate a break with Judaism. However, they incurred the enmity of the vasted interest among the Jewish higher echelon. The conflict between the Jews and the follower s of Jesus was started by the Jews because they felt that the Christians would undermine their authority.

The government progressively began to widen. During the siege of Jerusalem in 79A.D, the Christians left the city and refused to take part in the Bar Coachaba rebellion in 132A.D. Those two events brought to the surface the difference between the Christians and the Jews.

The question of the origin of Jesus, his nature and relation to God, which later became so important was not raised among those early disciples. That Jesus was a man supernaturally endowed by God was accepted without question. Nothing in the words of Jesus or the event in his life led them to modify this view. According to Aristides, one of the earliest apostles, the worship of the early Christians was more purely monotheistic even than of the Jews.

With the conversion of Paul a new period opened in the Christian theology. Paul’s theology was based on his personal experience interpreted in the light of contemporary Greek thought. The theory of redemption was the child of his brain, a belief entirely unknown to the disciples of Jesus. Paul’s theory involved the deification of Jesus.

The Pauline period in the history of the Christian church saw a change of scene and principles. In place of the disciples, who had sat at the feet of Jesus, a new figure who had not known Jesus had come to forefront. In place of Palestine, the Roman Empire became the scene of Christian activity. Instead of being a mere sect of Judaism, Christianity not only became independent of Judaism but also became independent of Jesus himself.

Paul was a Jew and an inhabitant of Tarsus. He had spent a longtime in Rome and was a Roman Christian. He realized that the stronghold which the Roman religion had on the masses. The intellectuals were under the influence of Plato and Aristotle. Paul seems to have felt that it would not be possible to convert the masses in Roman Empire without making natural adjustments. But his practiced wisdom was not acceptable to those who had seen and heard Jesus. However, in spite of their difference, they decided to work together for the common cause.

As recorded in the Acts, Barnabas, represent those who had become personal disciples and Paul cooperated with them for sometime. But finally they fell out. Paul wanted to give up the commandments given through Moses about the things to eat, he wanted to give up the commandments given through Abraham regarding circumcision. Barnabas and the other personal disciples disagreed. The following sentences in the Act give a hint of the rift:

“And certain men which came down from Judea taught the brethren, and said, ‘Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved”. “When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas should go up to Jerusalem unto the Apostles and elders about this question” (Acts 14:1 and 2).


After this rift, there was a parting of ways. In the Acts, Barnabas disappears after the rift, because the recording of the Acts of the Apostles were done by the followers of Paul.

Because of Paul’s compromise with the Roman beliefs and legends. Pauline Christians grew in number and grew in strength. A stage was later reached when Kings were used a spawn to further the end of the church.

The followers of Barnabas never developed a central organisation. Yet due to the devotion of their leaders, number increased very fast. Those Christians incurred the wrath of the church and systematic effort was made to destroy them and to obliterate all trace of their existence including books and churches. Those lessons of history, however is that it is very difficult to destroy faith by force.

Their lack of organization became a source of strength because it was not easy to pick them up one by one.

Modern research has brought to light odd fact about hose Christians. They are like the crest of wave and looking at them one can visualize a whole body of ocean not yet visible.

We notice that up to 4th century A.D, there existed a sect known as Hypisistarians, who refused to worship God as father. They revered Him as an All Might Ruler of the world. He was the Highest of all and on one was equal to Him.

Paul of Samasata was a Bishop of Antioch. He was of the view that Christ was not God but a man and a prophet. He differed only in degree from prophets who come before him and that God could not have become man substantially.

Then we come across another Bishop of Antioch Viz Lucian. As a Bishop his reputation for sancitity was not less that his as a scholar. He came down strongly against the belief of Trinity. He deleted all mention of Trinity from the Bible as he believed it to a later interpolation not found in the earlier Gospels. He was martyred in 312A.D.

Next we come to the famous disciple of Lucian Viz Arius (250-336A.D). He was a Libyan by birth. Peter Bishop of Alexandria ordained him a Deacon but later excommunicated him. Achilles the successor of Peter again ordained Arius as priest. Alexander the next Bishop of Alexandria once again excommunicated him. Arius however had gathered such a large following that he a headache for the church. If kept out of church he could be a great danger to her but he could not be accommodated within the church as he wanted to establish the unity and simplicity of the External God. He believed that how so ever much Christ may surpass other created being he himself was not of the same substance as God. He was human being as any other man. The teaching of Arius spread like wild fire and shook the very foundation of Pauline church. The controversy that was simmering for three hundred years suddenly became conflagration. No man dared to oppose the organized church but Arius did, and remained a headache for her. Whether he was ordained a priest or was excommunicated. During this time two events changed the history of Europe.

Emperor Constantine brought a greater part of Europe under his rule and secondly he began to support the Christian without accepting Christianity. To the solder Prince the different creed within the Christian faith was confusing. In the imperial palace itself the controversy was raging not less fiercely. It appears that perhaps the Queen Mother was inclined toward Pauline Christianity while his sister Princess Constantina was a disciple of Arius. The Emperor was waving between the two faiths. As an administrator, he was interested only in uniting all the Christians within one church. It was at this time that the conflict between Arius and Bishop Alexander became so widespread and so violent that it became a law and order problem. So that Emperor anxious to maintain peace in the newly unified Europe had to intervene.

In 325A.D a meeting of all denomination of Christianity was called at Nicea (Now Isnik, a village). Bishop Alexander was not able to attend the conference and he deputed his lieutenant Athanasius, who subsequently succeeded Alexander as Bishop of Alexandria.

The conference had many prolonged sessions. Emperor Constantine could not grasp the full implication of the ecclesiastical confrontation, but he was very clear in his mind that for maintaining peace in his realm the support and cooperation of the church was necessary. Accordingly, he threw his weight behind Athanasius and banished Arius from the realm. Thus the belief of Trinity became the official religion of the empire. Fearful massacre of Christian who did not believe in Trinity followed. It became a panel offence to possess a Bible not authorized by the church and according to some estimates as many as 270 different versions of the Bible were burnt. Princess Constantina was not happy at the turn of events. The Emperor ultimately was persuaded to accept the faith of the men he killed. The result was that Arius was called back in 346A.D. The day Arius was scheduled to visit the cathedral of Constantinople in triumph, he died suddenly. The church called it a miracle. The Emperor knew it was murder. He banished Athanasius and two other Bishops. The Emperor then formally accepted Christianity and was baptized by an Arian Bishop. Thus monotheism became the official religion. Constantine died in 337A.D. The next Emperor Constantanius also accepted the faith of Arius. In 341A.D a conference was held in Antioch and Monotheism was accepted as a correct interpretation of Christian faith. This view was confirmed by another council held in Sirmium in 351A.D, as a result Arianism was accepted by an overwhelming magnitude of Christian. St Jerome wrote in 359A.D that the whole groaned and marveled to find itself Arian.

In this context the next important figure is that of Pope Honorius. A contemporary of Prophet Mohammed (Peace be on him) he saw the rising tide of Islam whose tenants very much resembled those of Arius. As the mutual killing of Christians was still fresh in his memory he perhaps thought of finding a via media between Islam and Christianity. In his letter he began to support the doctrine of “one mind” because if God has three independent minds the result would be chaos. The logical conclusion pointed to the belief in the existence of One God. This doctrine was not officially challenged for about half a century. Pope Honorius died in October 638. In 680, i.e. 42years after his death, a council was held in Constantinople where Pope Honorius was anathematized. This event is unique in history of Papacy when a pope was denounced by a succeeding pope and the church.

The next two personalities of his faith that deserve mention were members of the family L.F.M Sozzini (1525-1565 A.D) was a native of Siena. In 1547A.D he came under the influence of Camillo s Sicillian Mystic. His fame spread in Switzerland. He challenged Calvin on the doctrine of Trinity. He amplified the doctrine of Arius, denied the divinity of Christ and repudiated the doctrine of original sin and atonement. The object of adoration according to him could only be the one and only one God. He was followed by his nephew F.P.Sozzini (1539-1604A.D). In 1562 he published a work on St. John’s Gospel denying the divinity of Jesus. In 1578A.D he went to Klausenburg in Transylvania whose ruler John Sigisumud, was against the doctrine of trinity. Here Bishop Francis David (1510-1598) was fiercely anti Trinitarian. This led to the formation of a sect known as Racovian Catchism. It drives it’s name in Poland. The city became the stronghold of the faith of Arius.

Among the present day Christians a large number of men and women still believed in one God. They are not always vocal. Due to the crushing power of the churches they cannot express themselves and there is not much communication between them. In the end it will be of interest to quote Athanasius the champion of Trinity. He say that whenever he forced his understanding to mediate on the divinity of Jesus his toilsome and unavailing effort recoil on themselves, that the more he wrote the less capable was he expressing his thoughts. At another place he pronounces his creed as : There is not three but “ONE GOD”.

Over the weekend, one of Nigeria's finest entertainer Sani Danja was interviewed on "TABAKIDI TABA KARATU" a programme on BBCHAUSA radio. You can recall this isn't the first time the multiple award winning Actor/Singer has been interviewed on International Networks. Read the transcript of the exclusive and exciting interview below while we anticipate for his album "Jack Of All Trade" and his "20th Anniversary on Stage" set to hold sometime in October.


BBCHAUSA: Your new song(As E Dey Do Me) has caused lots of discussion on twitter and other social media. What is the magic behind it?


Sani Danja: Although this isn't the first time my song has been making waves on social media, but this song is probably one of my songs that has gained huge acceptance from the public within short time of it's release. It has also been enjoying massive airplay across TV/Radio stations, clubs, etc. I didn't expect it go blow this far.


BBCHAUSA: This song is different from the other tracks you have released because it's almost English, have you dumped the Hausa pattern of Music for the Western style?


Sani Danja: Not really. Like these type of Nigerian songs i have been releasing of recent if you listen carefully, i blend Hausa and English together and sometimes even Yoruba, this is because i want to widen my fanbase all over the world not just the North or Nigeria.


BBCHAUSA: One of the accusations that has been on the head of musicians of this generation is that you the musicians spoil the culture and tradition of the people. For example, most of your songs and even your clothing outfit sometimes doesn't showcase the lifestyle of a Northern. How do you describe yourself, are you a Hausa Singer or what?


Sani Danja: Clothing and Hausa are two different things. For instance if an Igbo musician dresses in a northern attire for a music video, you wouldn't say he is doing Hausa music and vice versa. So if you are doing Hausa style of Music you can wear whatever kind of clothes you want, what is important is the use of the language. You also have to understand that fashion and generation works hand in hand. There are some types of clothes you wear for instance, most people especially the guys won't be motivated to watch the video. Among the songs that i have done in English like the first collabo i did with Terry G, we wore the Traditional Hausa Robe with a Cap and it will interest you to know that he has never wore that kind of clothes in his life before.



BBCHAUSA: Apart from clothes, there are other things in your songs that doesn't represent the lifestyle of a Northern. What reasons do you have for doing them?


Sani Danja: I don't really know the other things you are talking about but i know all my songs have different messages and talks about issues relating to life, marriage, haters, advice, etc. And also if you want to shoot a music video, you have to make it in a way that people will love it, in doing that your message will be heard.


BBCHAUSA: There is a recent collabo you did with Sani Dan Indo, how did you come up with the song?


Sani Danja: I am the kind of musician that loves to work with legends of the past and i also listen to the songs of Mamman Shata and many others and sometimes i get inspirations from their works and try to infuse them into the modern kind of music. Dan Indo has been one of my favorite musician since i was a child and we finally met and i told him about my intentions to work with him and he agreed and the rest is history.


BBCHAUSA: Why did you decide to infuse the past and the present style of music together?


Sani Danja: I think is necessary for people of my generation who don't listen to old school to start listening to them and also to the attention of the older generation. Laughs.


BBCHAUSA: There are rumours that the celebration of your 20 years anniversary on stage will be held in Kano and also that this new song has been removed from the album you are about to launch, is it true?


Sani Danja: I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere, this anniversary/launch is the celebration of my 20 years on stage. The first launch will take place at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, then England, Ghana, Niger. After the launch tour in these countries, i will finally return to Kano and also all the recent singles i have released are included on the album. This launch is not just about my music, it's also about what i have achieved in 20 years including my NGOs ( SANI DANJA FOUNDATION FOR GOOD LEADERSHIP and CENTRE FOR YOUTHS EMPOWERMENT AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT)


BBCHAUSA: Has your foundation provided jobs for the youths since it's inception?


Sani Danja: Yes. What is we do regularly is to provide capital for those who want to go into business and also enroll them into special training programmes. We also organise seminars with the intention to discourage juvenile delinquency and encourage them that no matter how old you are you can still go to school. We also campaign for peace for instance there was a time we visited Jos when there was unrest. We also use our Movies and songs to send messages to the public and also money that is collected from the shows we organize we also send to refugees in and outside Nigeria.


BBCHAUSA: Lets go back to the rumors of you removing some songs from your forthcoming album, does it mean you are aware that this your new song has nothing to do with the lifestyle of the North.


Sani Danja: Am not singing for Kano State or Nigeria alone, if am writing a song today, the song has to meet the standard of the world. For instance, if you will see an Igbo musician mixing up Yoruba language into their music and anywhere you go in Nigeria, their music is widely accepted, that is the trend i have in mind which will create a way for other Northern musicians.


BBCHAUSA: Recently we have seen Kannywood actors making waves in Nollywood. Have you been featured in any Nollywood film?


Sani Danja: Yes i have acted in many Nollywood movies.


BBCHAUSA: Does that mean you have also switched Kannywood for Nollywood?


Sani Danja: I feature in Nollywood movies whenever i have been given a role and i have also produced two (2) Nollywood movies. There are movies like "Dark Closet" that is set to be released this month and "Guys Must Be Crazy" sometime in November.


BBCHAUSA: Finally, what are your plans for the future?


Sani Danja: For i think my anniversary is what am concentrating on because this is going to be the biggest stage ever in Nigeria. I will be performing one (1) hour on stage with one hundred and fifty (150) dancers. I want to create a record with this event.


BBCHAUSA: Seems you want to be Michael Jackson.


Sani Danja: Laughs. I just want to create my own Sani Danja record.

Environmental reporting is a specialized area of reporting issues affecting the environment especially after the 1972, United Nation Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) held in Stockholm, Sweden. The key issue of concern then was largely that of desertification, deforestation and their effects on the warming of the global environment. At that time, the concept that was used to characterize global warming was the HOT HOUSE EFFECT. The succeeding global summit on environment and development helped to further focus global attention on issues and challenges facing the environment and their consequences on development. The 1982 summit held in Nairobi, Kenya which further reminded the world and again maintained environmental issues in the public arena.

It was at this summit that global emphasis on the connection between the environment and development was deepened. This emphasis led to the establishment of the World Commission on Environment and Development (WECD) in Tokyo, Japan which examined issues affecting the global environment and come up with a report for discussion and consideration at 1992 earth summit in Rio Janeiro, Brazil. The committee was headed by Ms Gotarkem BrundHand, which later became addressed as the BrundHand Commission. The commission in it’s report drew attention on the need for all countries of the world to consider and adopt management of resources in a way that will benefit the present generation without compromising the resource needs of future generations. The concept that the commission used, to capture efficient use of global resources to meet the needs of present and future generations, was SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. From that time onwards, it became not only a catch phrase but also a useful shorthand for promoting efficient use of environmental resources to benefit mankind on a sustainable basis.

One important action that countries of the world adopted at the Rio Summit was the acceptance of a five-year review period to help access the progress that countries were making with regard to environmental sustainability. This became known as the Rio5. This is important in providing for a midterm review of the efforts of countries and also serves as a means for countries to assess themselves and be monitored globally in a formal context. The successes and challenges that countries faced became important issues for further discussions, debates and definitions of action points. After Rio, the succeeding summit took place in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002 tagged “Sustainable Development”. It became evident after the Jo’burg Summit that it is important to extract commitments to cut back on global warning. Such a commitment did not happen until 1997 when the Kyoto Protocol 1997 in Japan was signed in which developed countries that are considered to be distributing more to the process going by their level of industrialization would take steps to address actions that are contributing to global warming. However, this introduced another dimension to the issue of addressing environmental challenges, control and management. Developed countries, seemed to have taken the position that global environmental problems cannot be blamed on any part of the world as the actions of humankind globally is contributing to it. Some scientists from the developed world argue that there is no evidence to support global warming as to warrant any action. The developed world instead tried to push forward the position that developing countries need to do more such as the preservation of forests to ensure checks against global warming and to ensure continuous supply of oxygen to the world. This can be described as the politics of the environment.

It is important to point out that the politics is useful towards maintaining global environmental issues in the public arena. As these issues are discussed and debated the public get to be sensitized and enlightened on issues affecting the environment. Any aspect of the environment that is discussed and debated either in scientific and technical sessions or in the media help to keep the environment on the global agenda. In each of these contexts, the position gives room for reporting on environmental issues. The reports tend to form the basis for discussion and action by groups and governments and help to drive the process of decision making. It can be argued therefore, that reports on significant bases for action. However, not all reports are presented and discussed by scientists for purposes of research and advancement of knowledge, among policy makers for purposes of decision making which are articulated in the form of policies, plans, programmes and projects; and in the media aimed at bringing topical environmental issues to the attention of the public for their education, mobilization and action. In all these cases, the environmental report is important. It is important to note that the character and form of the report on the environment in all cases have their own different characteristics. No matter the character and form, it is possible to come up with a working definition of environmental reporting.

Environmental reporting covers three important areas, namely: Land, Water and Air. In a broad sense, any report with environmental subject relating to land, water and air can be considered as environmental reporting. This broad definition, however, does not disclose many actions of humankind that affect the environment. In other words, environmental reporting go beyond focusing on land, water and air. It is important to factor in processes and outcomes in defining environmental reporting.

Another definition then is to say that environmental reporting is the report on natural and animal actions on the environment that could affect animals and human beings either negatively or positively that require some form of action to manage the environment.

It can also be defined as the report on a large number of issues on air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, natural disasters, industrial disasters, nuclear disasters, sanitation, water disposal, soil degradation, erosion, desertification, deforestation, etc.

Enemies of Islam have been trying to annihilate Islam since the time of our Prophet. Today, Freemasons, Communists, Jews and Christians attack with various plans. Those attacks also have been pioneered by the British, who have employed all their imperial resources, treasures, armed forces, fleets, technology, politicians and writers in this base war of theirs. So they have demolished the World’s two greatest Muslim states that had been protectors of the Al as-Sunna, namely the Gurganiyya, a state in India and the Ottoman Islamic Empire, which had extended over three continents. Even in the present day West Africa, they destroyed Muslim Empire of Kanem-Borno, Sokoto Caliphate and Oyo. They have annihilated Islam’s valuable books in all countries and swept away Islamic teaching from many countries. In the Second World War, Communist were about to perish altogether, when they relieved a last-ditch British Succor, which helped then to regain their strength and spread all over the world. In 1917, British Prime Minister (1902-5) Jemes Balfour established the Zionist Organization, which worked for the reestablishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, a holy place for Muslims and the continuous support given to this organization by the British Government resulted in the establishment of state of Israel in 1366 (1947AD). It is the British Government again, that caused the establishment of the Wahhabite state in 1351 (1932AD) by delivering to the sons of Sa’ud the Arabian Peninsula they had grasped from the Ottomans. Thus, they dealt the biggest blow to Islam.


Wahhabism was established by Muhammad Ibn Abdal-Wahhab. He was born in Huraimila in Najd in 1111(1699AD) and died in 1206 (1791AD). Formerly, he had been to Basra, Baghdad, Iran, India and Damascus with a view to travelling and trade. He was in Basra when, in 1125(1713AD), he succumbed to a snare set by Hempher, who was only one of the numerous British spies and served as to destroy Islam. He published the absurdities prepared by the spy in the name of Wahhabism. In the book Confessions of a British Spy give detailed information on the establishment Wahhabism. There he found and read books written by Ahmad Ibn Taimiyya of Harran (661-728 (1263-1378AD in Damascus), the content of which were incompatible with the Ahl as-Sunna. Being a very cunning person, he became known as Ash-Shaikh on Najdi. His book Kitab at-tawhid, which he prepared in cooperation with the British spy, was annotated by his grandson, Abdu-Rahman and was interpolated and published in Egypt with the title Fat’hal-Majib by a Wahhabi called Muhammad Hamid. Mohammed Abdul-Wahhab’s idea spread among villagers, the inhabitants of Dar’iyya and their chief Muhammed Ibn Su’ud. Those who accepted his ideas, which he termed Wahhabiya are called Wahhbis or Najdis, They increased in number and he imposed himself as the Qadi and MohammedIbn Su’ud as the amir (ruler). He declared it as a law that only their own descendent should succeed them.


Abdulrrashid Ibrahim Efendi says in a passage entitled “The Hostility Of The British Towards Islam” in the second volume of Turkish book “Alam-Islam” pointed in Istanbul in 1328(1910AD) ‘it was the first aim of the British to abrogate the caliphate of Muslims as soon as possible’. It was a plot arranged by them to encourage crime and Turks to revolt against the Ottoman state so that they could demolish the caliphate. Their secret and tricky intention was seen clearly through the treaty of Paris. They exposed hosticiary in their hearts in the propositions which they made in the Lozan Treaty, which was held in 1923. Whatever the disguise, all the disasters that fell upon the Turks were always caused by the British. To destroy Islam had ever been the main political aim of the British politicians for they have always feared Islam. They have been using mercenary conscience to deceive Muslims. These treacherous and hypocritical people are presented by the British as Islamic Scholars. In short, the greatest enemy of Islam is the British.


Not only were Muslim countries stained with blood by the British for hundred years but also scotch Freemasons deceived thousand of Muslims and religious men, made them Freemasons, and through such empty word as “helping humanity brotherhood”, caused to dissent from Islam and become apostates willing. In order to annihilate Islam thoroughly, they used these apostate Masans as tools. Thus Freemasons such as Mustafa Rashd Pasha, Ali Pasha, Faud Pasha, Mid-fat Pasha and Talat Pasha were used to demolish Islamic states. Freemasons such as Jamal Addin al-Afghani, Muhammad Abdul and novice trained by them were the cat’s paw in defiling and annihilating Islamic knowledge.


Unfortunately, the poisonous ideas of Abdul, the chief of Cairo Masonic lodge, have spread ever in Jami’at-Azhar in Egypt; thus, in Egypt, there have appeared religion reformers, such as Rashis-Rida; Mustafa Al-Maraghi, rector of the Jami’al Azhar, Abdul-Majid as Salim, Mufti of Cairo; Mohmud ash Shaltut; Tantawi al Jawhari; Abdul-Raziq Pasha; Zaki al Mubarak; Farid al Wajdi; Abbas Aqqad; Ahamd Amini; Doctor Taha Husain Pasha; Qasim Amin; and Hasan al Banna. Even more unfortunately as was done their master “Abdul, those have been regarded as modern muslim scholars”, and their books have been translated into many languages. They have caused many ignorant religious men and young muslims to slip out of the right way.


After Abdul’s death in Egypt in 1323(1905AD), the novices whom he trained in Egypt did not stay idle, of the hundred of destructive and subversive books written by those Masons, who occupied religious posts, the book Muhawarat by the Egyptian Rashid Rida has been translated into many languages and distributed in Islamic countries; with this method, they have been trying to defile muslims’ religion and faith. In this book he attacked, like his master, the four Madhhab of the Al-as-Sunna and, thinking of the Madhhabs as idealistic differences and misrepresenting the methods and conditions of Ijtihad as reactionary controversies, went so far into heresy as to say that they had broken Islamic unity. He simply made fun of millions of true muslims who have been following one of the four Madhhabs for a thousand years.

Pop artiste Runtown was so overcome with the reception by the crowd on Saturday August 1 at Star Music Trek #MakurdiRocks that his shirt found its way off his torso. On a night when 2Face, Faze, Kcee, Yemi Alade and MI also performed, the singer performed his hit singles ‘Gallardo’, ‘Successful’, ‘The Banger’ and ‘Bend Down Pause’. When he launched into his performance of ‘The Latest’, the crowd went completely berserk, prompting him to whip off his shirt and dance along with the charged vibe at the IBB Square Arena.

Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi, laid the first stone at a future Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) venue in Gabon on Saturday. The four-time world player of the year officially started the building process at the Port-Gentil stadium, which will host AFCON matches in 2017. The ceremony which took place on a wide sandy ground where the stadium will be built saw the Argentine, who was visiting the country for the first time, sign autographs on team jerseys worn by his fans, before proceeding with the laying of the first stone. He was accompanied by the president of Gabon Ali Bongo Ondimba.



“When I was in Barcelona a few years ago, I met Messi who had told me that he would come to visit me in Libreville,” the president said. “It’s a promise he made me. He is a man of honour who just kept his word.” The new stadium will have a capacity of 20,000 and is expected to host matches from November 2016 in the build-up to the tournament. Gabon, the 2012 co-hosts with Equatorial Guinea, won a vote by the Confederation of African Football’s executive committee in Cairo on April 8 to host the 2017 AFCON ahead of Algeria and Ghana.

ISLAM VERSUS FREEMASONS BY BABA ALI MUSTAPHA


Introduction

Huntington in his widely read article about the coming “Clash of Civilization” in the Foreign Affairs Journal in the summer of 1993 identified eight confronting civilization. Of the eight, he rejected five, as they never would become players on the world stage. One among the three is Confucian Civilization, which is no way equal to Islamic and Western civilization. So Islam, according to Huntington, stands alone to confront the Western Civilization. Furthermore, in a book titled “Jews Animosity to Islam Movement” , Ben Gurion (Former Prime Minister of Israel) remarked that “We do no fear Socialism, Revolutionalism and Democraticism in this region, the only thing we fear is Islam, the giant has slept for so long”. The former Prime Minister of Britain, W.E Gladstone said one day in the parliament as brandished a copy of the Holy Quran, “As long as this Book remains, Europe would never be able to control the East. On the contrary, Europeans should never feel safe in their own homeland.

The former Italian Prime Minister was quoted thus; “It is true that the confrontation with Communism has come to an end but there is still another confrontation between the West and the Islamic world”. Also in a book titled "Out of Control” written by Zbigniew Brze-zink the former National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter ( Former U.S President) he remarked that “Right now, in the field of ideas, there is no potential idea or ideology that can take on a mass movement or re-invigorating element in human society other than ISLAM right now”. He went on further to say “All the ideologies and Philosophies have fallen by the way side but the vibraney of ISLMA is still present and manifest in itself”.

Each of the quotation mentioned above goes to confirm our thesis that ISLAM is the only stumbling block hindering the Masons from achieving their set objectives and this they recognize. In the recognition of this fact and knowing fully well that the Muslims will never bow to their devil and demonic plan and not forgetting that the progress of ISLAM is the decline of their New World Order, thus they have declared war against ISLAM.

In bid to destroy Islam so to set New World Order in place, the Masons have devised many ways to destroy ISLAM. Along the way they come to realized that they cannot and will not be able to do so, hence what they have opted for is to destroy the Muslims. If the Muslims were destroyed, the possibility of reviving the Islamic spirit will be put at bay, thus making it much easier to achieve their goal.

The Masons have set up a bold plan to destroy the Muslims. The methods they use vary but the goal is the same. These methods include propaganda warfare in which they use their well oiled and internationally heard Media machine to defame the character of Islam and Muslims in particular. The print media is also not let out, a lot of books against Islam have been published and subsidies for wider coverage. Another method they use is the ideological warfare in which they sow the seed of discord among the Muslims with the aid of some unscrupulous Muslim leaders’ thereby setting up one Muslim country against another, or one group of organization against the leadership of the country. The result is what is witnessing today in the Muslim world, crisis in Syria, Libya, Mali, Egypt, creation of Al –Qaeda in Afghanistan, ISIS in Iraq/Kudish/Syria, Al-Shabab in Somalia/Kenya, Huosthis in Yemen, Bokoharam in some part of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroun.

DECLARATION OF WAR

As stated early, the Freemason have come to realize that the only stumbling block to their plan of world domination is Islam and against bit they have declared war. Considering the population of Muslims and their strategic location in the world, the war against the fastest growing religion in the world would have to be done covertly. The methods they have been using are different but the goals are the same. Example of the various warfare been used by Masons to combat Islam include Ideological, Intellectual and propaganda warfare among others.

Over the years, the Masic West under the leaderships of the United State have succeeded in branding Muslims as terrorists. By the mere mention of the word “terrorist” what will come to the mind of many is a man from Muslim world with beards and turban who obviously is a Muslim. This they were able to achieve through their well oiled media machine that is beamed worldwide.

In reality, we need to ask who is a terrorist? And what is terrorism? In a nutshell, a terrorist is somebody who uses violence or force to achieve political means. The two words that connect terrorism, that is, Violence and Force are alien to Islamic teaching. It should however be noted that what breeds terrorism are injustice and oppression and the only way for those that have been unjustly dealt with is a result to unconventional ways (terrorism) to revenge these injustice and oppression that were melted on them and this is not dependent on the religious inclination of the persons involved. However, when somebody who professes Islam tries to revenge the injustice that has been done on him, he is easily referred to as terrorist and the reverse is for a non-Muslim.

In 1995, when the Oklahoma City bombing took place, the United States pointed accusing fingers at “Muslims terrorist” but after investigation it happened that an American Christian named Timothy Mc Veigh was behind the crime, he was never called a terrorist. Moreover it was said that he was mentally derailed.

Also, on the 28th of September 2001, a man worked into Switzerland House of Assembly killing 14 people and later went on to kill himself. This was never terrorist act, but when a Palestinian commits such an act easily would be called terrorist. On October 4, 2001, a Russian Airline went down over the Black Sea after being hit by a missile fired by the Ukrainian force killing 78 people aboard. This incidence was called a tragic accident. Imagine if a Muslim country would have been a terrorist act. One would then ask why the double standard.

Despite all their plot to destroy the character of Muslim and the Islamic faith in general, the religion continue to wax stronger. In fact, it is the fastest growing religion in the world.

From all evidence available, Islam has spread it’s tentacles to ever nooks and cranny of the world even to the based of the Masons America and Europe. Information also reveals that Muslims have rose to very important position of authority in these countries even to the Parliament in places like England among others. This situation in on doubt have posed a threat to the Masonic plan despite all their plan to destroy Islam and Muslims.

With the situation on ground, the Masons have to result to some other methods to fight their enemy, this they have to do openly hence they needed every justification to carry out this plan so that all and sundry will give them the support to carry out this onslaught. The event of September 11, 2001, the bombing of the World Trade Centre was in no doubt enough evidence for the Masonic West to declare an all out against Islam.

Immediately the incidence happened, accusing fingers were pointed at Osama Bin Laden as the prime suspect and his Al-Qaeda Network but there were no concrete evidence to substantiate his involvement. The most comprehensive evidence the West have been able to come up with is the one Tony Blair (the then Prime Minister of Britain) presented to the British House of Common on Thursday October 4th 2001. That evidence clearly fell far short of admissibility in any court of law. The Guardian Newspaper of London, October 5th 2001 dismissed it as “almost worthless from a legal point of view”. The paper said although Bin Laden has been universally fingered in the September 11 attacks, “Most of the document which Tony Blair released at the start of Commons debate is entire circumstantial at best”. The Guardian cause Blair tried to hide behind a need to protect so called Intelligent Sources, to keep from the public evidence, which he said was specific enough to prove Bin Laden guilty. Furthermore, Geoffrey Rabertson, a Queens Counsel, and author of “Crime Against Humanity, the Struggle for Global Justice” agreed with the Guardian. Blair’s evidence he argued was not sufficient enough to declare Bin Laden guilty.

However, it remained to be asked who bombed the World Trade Centre? The reality of the situation is that the bombing of the Trade Centre was done by the Israel who obviously are Jew (the godfather of Freemason). But the media, which is being controlled by the same set of persons never reported the involvement of Israel in the bombing. Confirmed sources reported that on the day of the bombing, over four thousand Israel working in the Centre never showed up for work on that day. It was also reported that the Shabak Israel security apparatus prevented the then Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon from traveling to New York City to participate in festival organized by the Zionist Organisation in support of Israel. The next day after Sharon’s secretary announced that Sharon would not participate in the festival, the bombing took place.

It is obvious from the above that it could not have been coincidence that all those happened on the day of bombing. It however, shows that the Israeli were involved in the bombing of the Trade Centre. But the world media never reported these incidences because who controlled the media are the one involved in the bombing. It should however be noted that this is not the first time Israel would be doing something of such to turn American and indeed the whole world against the Muslims. In 1953, Israel bombed the United States Information Centre in Cairo, Egypt. They later admitted to the crime and said this was done to cause a rift between the United States of America and Egypt. Also in 1967, Israel armed forces attacked the U.S Navalship USS Liberty, killed 34 young American men, wounded 171 people and inflicted 821 rocket and machine-gun holes to blame the Arabs. USS Liberty survivors and many key US Government officials, including Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Ex-Joint Chief of Services Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer have pointed out that the Israeli Military attack on USS Libertyship was no accident.

With the present situation, the Mason under the leadership of United States now have every justification to attack the Muslims under the guise that they are fighting terrorism. Immediately the September 11 attack, the then President of United State, George Bush (jnr) declared a crusade, and it is obvious that crusade is not synonymous with terrorism, but with faith and religion. This is another way of saying he is declaring war against the Muslims reminding us of what our predecessors witnessed in the hand of the Pope during the crusade of (1096 to 1291 AD). Furthermore, Berlusconi, the then Prime Minister of Italy, stated after that “Islam is inferior to the Western religion” and that Europe should reconstitute itself on the bases of it’s Christian roots”. All those are pointing to the fact that the Masonic West is declaring an all out War against Islam.

The September 11 2001 incidence has also placed Muslims in various part of the world in a very difficult situation. In Britain, the government has already prescribed 21 Islamic “Radical groups” and more may still be added to the list. In Belgium, the then Foreign Minister Lovis Michel voiced concern that his country has been to liberal in allowing Muslims (whom he called Fundamentalist) to operate and suggested that the government exercise some kind of control over their content. In Germany, the government has introduced a bill that permits officials to outlaw Islamic association formerly protected by religious privilege dating from 1964. Also in Italy, pamphlets were distributed featuring a picture of Osama Bin Laden and captioned “Illegal Immigrant means Islamic Terrorist”, meaning that Muslims will find it very difficult travelling to that country.

With this scenario, the Masons have succeeded in turning the world population against the Muslims.

WAY FORWARD

It is obvious that the Freemasons are tailoring mankind toward destruction, the whole of humanity is heading for rocks thus the question that has often been asked will once again be asked; Who is going to rescue humanity from this Imminent Collapse? Without any demur of doubt, the Saviour is ISLAM. But the question is where are the Muslims to show this ISLAM to the world as the only viable alternative to the New World Order.


As an independent observer of International event and as a committed Muslim, I advice members of organization of Islamic State (OIS) about fifty four countries headed by Saudi Arabia and Iran to withdraw their membership of United Nation, the main organization created by the Mason to dominated the whole world and created a Godless society, before it is too late.
