Y morinho no put mikel na?

Match don start. Mikel no dey inside

Mzsolex: who care's 'bout the language spoken, what am saying is Kwara is a nothern state. answer this question, why is the title of your king referred 2 as 'Emir' and not 'Oba' and 'shue' instead of 'kabiyesi' just like other yoruba lands. Ilorin particularly is sold-out, igbominans and other towns are still better.

so, let say cos Niger, Benue state are in the north, that make them to be hausa fulani. So, u are dis dull.

KIRIJI: I challenge all you mischievious ignorant dolts, that claim Kwara is under fulani control, to mention one fulani political office holder in Kwara state. Even if it is a local government ward councillor. I also challenge you to mention one area in the whole Kwara state where the fulbe language is spoken.

no stress urself abeg. Dey like lookin for trouble where its nt. We agree that d origin of emir of ilorin is frm d sokoto fulani bt go and ask him now if he can speak fulani or he is a fulani. He will tel u he is more Yoruba than fulani, dey dont even speak fulani at d emir palace, its pure yoruba dey speak. Ilorin is a pure Yoruba townm d only different is cos of the emirship inwhich d ilorins prefer that cos of islam. Havin obaship in ilorin will bring back all dos idolatery practise which is forbidden in islam. And even if 9ja divide 2day, be rst assure that Ilorin will never follow the north. Dey rather form alliance wit d rest of d middle belt or mostly follow d south west since dey are yoruba. Its only like d kwara north (Nupe), that may follow north.

I am proud ilorin and a Proud Yoruba.

Dont knw y dis igbos like takin panadol for someone headache.

To me i think its wizkid. Dat guy was featured more than d music he himself release.

I can c some bigots here who are itchin and unhappy abt d progress of kano. If dat, kwankwaso has like 5 to 10 e members here on NL who will be talkin abt his progress, some ppl would have commit suicide since. Yes, in term of education, southerners may still have higher no than northerners, bt d north too are goin to school nw in great number. Just come to kano and c durin clossin hour of schools and c hw students will be troopin out. Right now, one of d most lucrative business nw in kano is to have a private school, nt just anyhw, bt a good private school. Yes, that is wat is movin right now for u to knw that dey have realy embrace education. Wat of uni like BUK, North west university and kano state uni of tech, na them full there. In d north now, Kano, kaduna, katsina, are some of d states that has realy embrace education. Though, some states like Yobe, Taraba, and Jigawa are still lackin behind. With d meagre money that kano is makin, kwankwaso has realy develop the state very well. Its just that d media dont talk abt most progress in d north xvept negative news. In terms of development, kano is farrrrrrrr better than many states in d south.

The year is almost gone and we have had both the best of music and the flop of it. Nigeria artistes are one of the best in Africa. There are some artiste that are sought after to be feature maybe due to their uniqueness or cos they are good. Among these artistes, who do you think is the most featured?

1. Wizkid
2. MI
3. Ice Prince
4. 2face
5. Phyno
6. Olamide
7. Flavour
8. Davido
9. Dbanj

Gimme ur answer with reason.

Here in kano for like 2 to 3 days now, we are noe having queues at filling station. Dont know why? Some people are saying its the ritual of d petrol marketers to hoard petrol toward the end of the year. And its not long that some GEJ here on Nairaland are praising the president for no more queue at filling station. How is your area, is there any queue?

Chaiiii, c hatred and bigotry here and there. So, some of u ppl are rejoicin that innocent ppl are being kill. I c no different between u haters and d likes of al shabab, lord resistant, BH and d rest of terrorists cos if u ppl hav d mean, u will do maybe even worse than dem. Bt remember haters are liable to die young.

On December 4, the council of the American Studies Association (ASA) voted unanimously to endorse the call from Palestinian civil society for an academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions (USACBI), becoming only the second academic association in the US to do so. The decision was described by the ASA as an "ethical stance", which "represents a principle of solidarity with scholars and students deprived of their academic freedom and an aspiration to enlarge that freedom for all, including Palestinians".

Support for the resolution was described to Al Jazeera by author and Professor of American Studies Alex Lubin as "nothing less than the breaking of what Edward Said called 'America's last taboo'…Creating a space within US society to break through the enforced silence on Israeli occupation".

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Distinguished Professor at University of California-Riverside, David Lloyd spoke about the conference that preceded the historic vote: "There was an incredible swell of applause and enthusiasm for the speakers who supported the Boycott. All expressed in different ways that this [boycott] was a fundamental matter of justice. This event indicates just how much things have shifted within the academy."

Palestine solidarity movement

The vote follows what many view as a trend in academia made evident by the growth of the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) movement on US campuses. The student groups work in "solidarity with the indigenous Palestinian peoples" endorsing the campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights.

Following the conference professor Lubin wrote, "Although the Palestinian solidarity movement has existed for a long time, it has been the growth of SJP activism across American university campuses, more than anything else perhaps, that has expanded the possibilities for discussion of Palestinians within the American academy."

Since its beginning in the early 2000's, SJP has gained considerable ground, catching the attention and concern of Zionist organisations and Israel Advocacy groups

A recent publication by the David Project, a non-profit Zionist organisation that seeks to shape the campus discussion on Israel, implicated SJP as part of the "pervasive negativity toward Israel on key leading American Universities and college campuses, which could erode long-term bipartisan support for the Jewish State".

Earlier this year the Anti Defamation League came out with "The Top-Ten Anti-Israeli groups in America" with SJP among them.

Oren Seagal, Director of ADL's Centre on Extremism told Al Jazeera: "SJP is one of those organisations that we feel - in terms of the tactics and messaging - is hell bent on providing a very biased, non-nuanced version of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is not conducive to dialog."

"Both in its tactics and how widespread the organisation is at campuses around the country, and its various campaigns, we are very concerned about SJP," Seagal said.

Brett Cohen, National Campus Programme Director for the global Israel Advocacy group StandWithUs, told Al Jazeera, "Their only goal is to create ill will against the State of Israel. It is clear that SJP and BDS supporters are trying to fight the Middle East War on campus."

Accusations like these have been part of the US discourse for years. The problem, many argue, is that criticism of Israel can lead to legal challenges, university administrative pressure and accusations of Anti-Semitism.

The Palestine Solidarity Legal Supportinitiative was formed to address the escalating legal repression against Palestinian solidarity activists. As attorney Liz Jackson said, "These Zionist organisations purport to fight anti-Semitism, but really their goal is to establish legal precedent, any way they can, that equates anti-Israel with anti-Semitism. They are attempting to squash freedom of speech. This is becoming the primary first amendment issue of our time."

These challenges have not halted the growth of SJP and BDS. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Anna Baltzer National Organiser of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation spoke about BDS's recent successes. "We've seen successful boycott and divestment campaigns at more than 10 universities. Recently eight other major US universities passed resolutions recommending university divestment from US companies profiting from the occupation."

SJP has seen its membership swell; more than 130 chapters are now active at US campuses.

Danya Mustafa, co-founder of the University of New Mexico SJP chapter told Al Jazeera, "The movement has grown tremendously. You have more SJP'S branching up at colleges all over the county. Momentum is building."

SJP's success has expanded dialog about Israel/Palestine that was previously unimaginable at US campuses, in part though SJP's coalition with other solidarity movements helping locate the Palestinian struggle within a broader critique of imperialism, colonialism, racism and apartheid.

Growing support

"Palestine has become a core issue for US progressives and leftists in a way it was in an earlier era globally. But for a long time it has been so suppressed," Sunaina Maira, an Asian American Studies Professor at University of California-Davis told Al Jazeera. "Now it's been revived and incorporated, as US academics and activists are seeing it through the lenses of colonialism, apartheid and indigenous rights movements."

Yet a large pro-Israel sentiment within the US public remains.

Some, however, argue that this starting to change due to the increased public awareness of Israeli actions in the West Bank, Gaza and Israel proper.

SJP has been around more than 10 years. But in the last 5 years it has really expanded

Sunaina Maira, professor

"Can you really have a state that calls itself democratic where people of one religion or group have more rights than other people?" wondered Les Field, an Anthropology Professor at the University of New Mexico. "Is that the American ideal? The idea that an Arab citizen of Israel could become president, that is not possible in Israel."

Sunaina Maira claims that it is this awareness has led to the growth of SJP. "SJP has been around more than 10 years. But in the last 5 years it has really expanded. One of the reasons for this growth is public awareness that Israeli continues to act with impunity, war after war."

Campus climate

While the growth of SJP and BDS is clear, many caution against assuming a pro-Palestinian sentiment is taking over US campuses.

"There are more than five thousand campuses in the US. In terms of those that have a consistent level of anti-Israel activity, it is a small portion of that number," the ADL's Seagal said. "No one should think that all this terrible anti-Israel stuff is taking place at every university."

Yet the American Studies boycott vote coupled with the growth of Palestine solidarity activism throughout the US, is evidence to many that a change taking place in the US in regard to the questions of Palestine.

Professor David Lloyd said: "I myself believe, and I am not optimistic by nature, that we're going to win because we're beginning to win a moral fight. We're moving from a point where it can be labeled the kind of minority obsession by a bunch of leftists, to a point where it becomes the defining moral issue for students at the university. And, at that point, you have five thousands students cramming into a gym demanding that the university divest. I think that time is coming."

By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, a North
The Presidency last night rose in defence of President Goodluck Jonathan for not speaking at the memorial service in honour of the former South African leader, Nelson Mandela in South Africa.

The President had come under serious condemnation by critics in the social media, who wondered why he went to Johannesburg in the first place without rendering an oration in honour of Madiba as other world leaders did.

But Presidential Spokesman, Dr Reuben Abating, dismissed the attacks on the President as a classic case of much ado about nothing, as Jonathan was not billed to speak at the ceremony in the first place.

According to Abati, only six out of the 100 world leaders at the event, were slated to speak and Jonathan was not one of those chosen to render any speech.

“The late Madiba’s burial is not a United Nations Debating session. It is what it is a burial: a solemn, national ceremony,” Abati said.

” Leaders from all over the world attended the Memorial Service to pay their last respects and to identify with South Africans in their hour of grief. It was certainly not meant to be an occasion for political grandstanding or the waving of flags.

“Out of about 100 world leaders who attended the event today, only six spoke at the ceremony. It was made clear at the occasion that the Chairman of the AU Commission, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma will speak on behalf of African leaders. And she did.

“I do not agree that Nigeria was insulted in any way. It was good that President Jonathan attended the Memorial service and that Nigeria is in solidarity with the South Africans.

“If every leader who attended the service had been asked to say a word, the event would not have ended. There were many other leaders at the event, whose countries have strong historical and political ties with South Africa, but who did not speak.

“I have not heard their compatriots crying like babies. This is obviously a further indication of a rising, minority tendency to read the negative into every official item,”Abati said.
