The increased violence in Yemen is a clear indication that military campaigns to crush al-Qaeda-inspired violence extend far beyond the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It also shows up hostile fault-lines within the Middle East, pitting mainly Shia Iran against Sunni Saudi Arabia, who condemn each other for taking sides in Yemen's long-running civil war.

Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab world with almost half its 24 million people living below the poverty line and an authoritarian government that has failed to win the trust of a substantive part of its own population.

This makes fertile ground for al-Qaeda.

US intelligence agencies have determined that, along with Pakistan, Yemen is a key area on which to concentrate on al-Qaeda.

More than 90 detainees still in America's Guantanamo Bay detention centre come from Yemen. That is nearly half the total.

Despite the policy to close Guantanamo, US authorities do not want to send them back for fear that they would boost al-Qaeda's operations and morale there.

The US has invested some $70m (£40m) in military aid in Yemen in the past year, believed to include training, the use of drones and intelligence to pinpoint al-Qaeda camps and activity.

Much is classified because neither Yemen nor the US wants American activities there to stir up yet more dissent.

The instability in Yemen is becoming critical. Al-Qaeda has announced that its networks in Yemen and Saudi Arabia have merged to create al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular.

The civil war is being waged by the Shia community in the north that borders Saudi Arabia. Saudi forces have actively intervened.

In one case it was accused of bombing a market killing many civilians.

Iran has publicly warned against any foreign intervention.

And - although the phrase is now frowned upon - US intelligence agencies are keeping a closer and closer watch in this newly-emerging theatre in the "war on terror".

I also agree with Arthur Eze on Abacha. Nigeria was much better under him and his practice of reciprocal foreign policy remains the best and most effective till today.

Sour sop,

Are you done flipping buggers? I am right now on a flight to the Bahamas for mmemme/Igbadun while you are being shouted at (to get the buggers really quickly) by somebody half your age?

Who da hell voted no?! Desperate women

Divorce is completely out of the way. Everybody has his own life to live. But open sex is out of the way. Because of my kids I will stay to get my own inheritance. Anyway, I don’t think he will have time for my sex, so I will stay. I won’t divorce -Obiamaka Aniegunam, PR consultant

I will not divorce him because being famous has its ups and downs and one of them is being exposed to lust from the opposite sex. One should also bear in mind that it sometimes gets boring being with one person for so long especially for the men. Even from the biblical point of view, one should forgive.
No way -Folorunsho Alakija, fashion designer

No, I will not divorce him. He needs prayers.Not an option -Omoshaba Grace, journalist

No, I will not divorce him if there is no threat to life and I am legally married to him. If he still loves me and I love him too, it can still work out. It needs introspection -Temitope David-Adegboye[/b]Celebrity writer

I guess the situation would require me to examine myself too, rather than pass judgment hastily. Fourteen mistresses? Something must be wrong with our relationship. [b]If in the end I find it’s me that caused it, I guess I will let him go. On the other hand, if it’s just his position and money that entered his head, I guess we may have to talk things out. I feel that with all these wahala he has faced in few weeks, he won’t ever go back to it. So, I might just stand by him. I say no - Funmi Azike,beautician

Nigerian factor, family and extended family might not allow me divorce someone of that status. And you know, we black women like to preserve our marriages no matter the degrading cost.I won’t try that -Aramide Oikelome,journalist

No, I won’t divorce him so long as I am his only lawfully wedded wife.It won’t be wise -Bibian Egwuatu[/b]Immigration officer

[b]She who deserts the husband because he was tempted is not a good wife. A lot of women are out there waiting to enter and will tolerate the man so far their own right reaches them. I will show him love -Rubby Acholonu, businesswoman

Since she was married to the man before he had concubines, she should be there. Again since the man loves her, she should love the man and take care of the house. Since the man did not bring the women home, she should stay and show the man love may be one day the man can repent and drive away those women. I want just his repentance - Atim Ikpeme, journalist

I will not divorce him if he shows remorse and returns home. He is my husband and father of my children. Woods is no exception -Mary Eziashi, company CEO

Ninety nine per cent of men cheat not to talk of a young man with that kind of wealth. I will rather concentrate in keeping my marriage by ignoring the rubbish scandal and beg him in the bedroom to protect himself well from STD and HIV if he must do mistresses. As long as I am loved and cared for by my cheating husband, I would stay. Men are animalistic in nature when it comes to sex. It is only by God’s grace that good wives stay in marriage. This is simply the fact of life.

I won’t divorce -Dorcas James, teacher

If I were his wife, I will not divorce him because marriage is all about facing challenges together no matter how tough. It is also about true love, which forgives. I leave him to his God - Agatha Emeadi, journalist

I will not divorce him because death is the only recommended reason according to the Bible. His adultery is for him and his God.

Ms Diva:
All hope isn't lost. At least they are not dating fat white people in hopes of getting a green card or daily bashing the opposite sex to cover up their insecurities.

Ebonyeyes:
Award for most Chauvinist NL goes to 4play. I guess we all know how you get your kicks i.e bashing Nigerian women. Whatever floats your boat

Ebonyeyes:
Good riddance to bad rubbish then . You acting as if Nigerian women are a different species from Nigerian men.

Ebonyeyes:

FL Gators:



This  is just not right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

savanaha:

Ebonyeyes:
Some women allegedly has a love child for him. I see Negros still justifying the actions of homewreckers.

savanaha:
So is Tiger Woods currently dramaless right now?

Ms Diva:
If he slept with all Black women, Black women will be called gold diggers now that he didn't sleep with one Black women have a problem. Good God! Is there anything we can do to please you men?
