The nation’s oil sector has got more
than enough scandals in the last two
years, with stunning revelations on
how the resources of the country
ended up in private pockets. Two-
time former Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Prof Tam David-West,
took a retrospective look at how the
rot started, in this no-holds-barred
exclusive interview.
It’s nine months after subsidy
removal. How would you
assess this?
The country is worse for it because
it is all fraud. If we are looking at the
subsidy alone, President Goodluck
Jonathan will know that he has
performed very badly. I have
documents to show that Jonathan
was initially opposed to the figure
Okonjo-Iweala gave him. I have the
document. But it was slammed
down his throat. I am opposed to
subsidy and I have been vindicated.
There is no subsidy. The
government has even confirmed
my position and that of
Muhammadu Buhari. Before that
time, the late Gani Fawehinmi had
written a booklet on subsidy. The
government has changed the figure
of the amount they get from
subsidy 10 times. I said this at the
Gani Fawehinmi lecture. The figure
has changed 10 times in quantum
and like amoeba, changing its
shape.
All the money Okonjo-Iweala
claimed to have been recovered,
were they lost in the first place?
Okonjo-Iweala has only recovered
the fraud. Later, she will say they
are paying oil marketers over N500
million of subsidy. Let her organise
a national debate that there is a
subsidy and not a charade. If you
forget about Tam David-West, can
she also ignore an expert in oil and
gas, Dr. Ngene Agbo, who was
head of Petroleum Department at
the University of Ibadan (UI) before?
He is now in Dallas Texas.
He wrote, and it was published in
the newspapers, that fuel must not
cost more than N36 per litre. In fact,
when they were to remove the
subsidy on January 1, he wrote
again that IMF asked them to do so.
I have the document. So, there is no
subsidy and the action of the
government has shown that.
The bottom line is for government
to build refineries. Nigeria could, at
best, build 20 refineries in two
years. The money is there. If we
build at least five more refineries
before Jonathan lives, petrol prices
will come down because we are not
going to import fuel anymore. That
is the type of legacy he should leave
behind.
Could you tell us about your
relationship with Buhari and
Babangida?
I worked with Buhari, but when
Buhari was overthrown, Babangida
brought me back. I was to come
back to Ibadan, but Sani Abacha
pleaded with me to stay. It was
Abacha who made me change my
mind. Abacha was my friend for
over 30 years. We all served at
Rivers State when I was
commissioner for education under
Zamani Lekwot.
He (Abacha) was the Brigade
Commander and we were good
friends till he died. Therefore, when
Buhari was overthrown, I was
brought back. So, I know
Babangida, I know Buhari. Any time
I meet any new person in my life,
as a friend, I do what I call
personality profile. I will try to know
the person’s strength and
weakness. That profile guides me.
People will not know that I was
closer to Babangida than Buhari.
While Babangida called me a pet
name ‘TD,’ Buhari called me
Professor. My relationship with
Buhari was very official; my
relationship with Babangida was
both official and personal. So, I was
closer to Babangida than Buhari
when I was in government. I never
visited Buhari at Dodan Barracks,
except for official purposes. I visited
Dodan Barracks many times on
unofficial purposes to see
Babangida. His great wife, Maryam,
in her grave, can confirm this.
How would you assess
Babangida’s performance in the
oil industry?
What I am going to say about both
of them is not because Buhari wants
to become president or I am known
to be an unapologetic Buhari
supporter. I am not supporting
Buhari out of sentiment but out of
fact and figures. I had been talking
about the mess in the oil industry in
several newspapers interviews since
1994. I have been consistent about
it. So, whatever I am saying about
these two Nigerians I am saying it
very objectively and without any
regret and I challenge anybody to
contradict what I am going to say.
Yes, the Babangida government
ruined the oil industry. How did he
do it? How many people in Nigeria
know these dirty millionaires? Dirty
millionaires because the money they
are getting is dirty money. How
many people know the conditions
to lift the Nigerian oil? I mean strict
conditions, which were there before
Buhari. He was oil minister before
and I also inherited the conditions.
Nigerians will be shocked that one
can lift Nigerian oil now as if one
goes to market to buy palm oil or
groundnut oil.
Babangida broke all the rules.
Buhari operated them and I
operated them during our time.
Oil makes up over 90 per cent
of all the money Nigeria has
outside, that is foreign receipts.
Also, oil makes up about 80 per
cent of our annual budget. So,
why must we be careless about
it?
To lift Nigerian oil, these are the
conditions set down, which
Babangida broke. One, you must be
an end user. By end user, it means
we don’t give oil to people who will
resell at Rotterdam. You must get a
refinery. If you don’t have refinery,
which you must or should, you
should show a contract that you
have a long time contract with a
refinery at least 10 years. Then, you
must deposit with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) three consecutive annual
audit report of your company
before you could be allowed to sign
the contract to lift oil. This is to
show that such company is healthy.
Then, you must be prepared to pay
a non-refundable $1million to NNPC
as proof of good faith. All these
rules were broken. No one in Nigeria
even heard about them again.
Also, you must not sell to South
Africa because of apartheid. Your
company must show a staff
strength of at least 20 people. These
are the conditions you must fulfill
before you can lift Nigerian oil.
Babangida broke all of them under
the funny name of liberaliaation.
When he broke the rules, he made it
easy for a lot of people to jump into
lifting of Nigerian oil, to the
detriment of the country. That was
the beginning of the disaster. Why
did he break the rules? Did he break
them in the interest of the nation or
in the interest of some people? I
cannot prejudge. I leave him
(Babangida) to his conscience and
God. Secondly, all oil revenues must
be paid into the Federation Account.
Babangida broke that too. Why is
that so? Every month, the
Commissioners for Finance from all
the states came to Lagos in those
days; we always sat and shared the
money we were paid.
Within the Gulf War too, while we
had $1.2billion, Babangida
established a parallel account that
was called ‘Dedicated Account.’ The
Dedicated Account was run by only
himself and the then Governor of
Central Bank, the late Alhaji Uba
Ahmed. Ahmed was a very good
man. I still honour him. But it was
an executive decision. Nobody had a
say on how the account was used.
So, in addition to the Federation
Account, that by law, all proceeds of
oil must go into, Babangida set up a
parallel account he called Dedicated
Account, which he lodged extra $1.2
billion Gulf War windfall.
When the Gulf War started, I wrote
an article that oil price would go up
because it was all common sense.
The oil market is very volatile. If
there is problem in Iraq or Iran, the
market fixtures say that oil that will
come from those countries cannot
come to the market.
So, there is artificial scarcity and oil
prices go up. I wrote it then that we
should invest the money to offset
our foreign debts, as Kuwaiti did.
Kuwaiti has one of the best oil
management in the whole world.
Another issue in the oil industry
then was the increase in the price of
fuel. Then, we started talking about
subsidy. In Buhari’s time, we were
exporting fuel in thousands of litres.
What would you say about rot in
the oil industry, as regards
operations of businessmen?
The Babangida government made it
easier for them to have their ways
in the camouflage of allowing
indigenous participation. Indigenous
participation is good but in what
form? Oil industry is a very
expensive business. I once told the
late business mogul, M.K.O. Abiola,
in those days that with all the
money he had he could not build a
refinery on his own. I told him he
has to get foreign partners with him
for support.
No Nigerian millionaire could build a
refinery, as at that time. I don’t
know what is operating now. So,
the result of what Babangida did is
that corruption became rampant. I
have no evidence to say Babangida
himself is corrupt, but his
government’s activities suggested
that a lot of things done then
increased corruption.
Another thing he did was that the
Federal Executive Council (FEC) used
to meet every Wednesday. It was
sacrosanct. In Buhari’s time, the
federal executive met regularly
every week. Babangida stopped it.
What I am saying can be supported
with facts and figures. I can face the
world with them. Babangida
cancelled weekly meeting of the
federal executive council, where
decisions were taken for the
country. It was like saying the
parliament may not meet but the
president can issue laws. That was
what it means.
The federal executive only met
when he (Babangida) wanted it to
meet. I have evidence to show that.
There are also great men and
women that served with me and
can confirm whether what I am
saying is true or not. Ministers were
asked to come down to seek
approval for contracts. Any contract
up to N10 million could be discussed
with Babangida personally. They
didn’t need to discuss it at the
weekly federal executive council.
Just come down to him and
discuss.
All I am saying are true and I stake
my honour on them. Anybody can
check this fact with ministers that
served at the time I am talking
about. For us then N10 million was a
lot of money. So, if a minister had
three contracts to discuss, that
would be N30 million. Just a
discussion between a minister and
the Head of State; both agreed and
just go.
What attempt did successive
governments made to address
this?
You see successive government
also saw the bad sides of the
disruptions but they could not stop
it because they benefited from it.
The solution is for Nigerians not
only to talk but to act. They should
stop voting against their conscience.
They should look at the candidates
and reject any candidate that has a
history of corruption. If a corrupt
candidate gets to power, he will
form a confraternity of corrupt
people and they steal more and
more of Nigerian money.
Are we not ashamed that Nigeria
cannot pay N18, 000 minimum
wage, yet the same country is
paying N1 billion for food allowance
of the President and Vice-President
from the oil money? To me, with
good leadership, all these would
stop. What is good leadership? A
leadership that harnesses the
blessings that God has showered on
Nigeria, for the benefit of Nigerians,
is a discipline leadership. A good
leader is the one that cares for the
ordinary man and not the big man.
Why is this so? It is the nature in
every society, whether America or
Africa, anywhere, the poor people
are more in numbers than the rich
people. That is what I would call the
social pyramid. Every community is
structured like a pyramid. Only a
few people are on top. As one is
coming down the pyramid, one is
confronted with army of the people.
So, the poor people in every
community are the numerous and
at the bottom of the pyramid.
Therefore, if you do something that
helps the poor, you are doing the
work of God. If a leader makes
policies that make the people happy,
such leader is doing the work of
God because God loves poor people
so much that he creates so many of
them everywhere.
Why are you an ardent Buhari
supporter?
Buhari is one of the cleanest men I
have ever met in my life. If anybody
wants me to dislike Buhari, such
person should give me an example
of his corruption. I will run away
from him totally. But right now,
there is no evidence. On the
contrary, the more they attack him
on this issue of corruption, the
more they are making him Gold
bier. I will give two examples.
One, Babangida thought Buhari was
making a lot of money on counter
trading, so he set up two
independent bodies to investigate
counter trading. One of the bodies
was headed by J.K. Randle, while
the second was headed by Prof.
Aboyade of blessed memory. None
of them found anything against
Buhari. None. I attested before the
two bodies.
Great Aboyade commission was
digging into Buhari’s counter
trading, J.K. Randle, who’s still alive,
did the same thing. But both of
them produced reports that showed
that counter trading was so clean
and was making so much money
for Nigeria. Then two, soon after
Obasanjo was sworn in, there was
a social function for him in Lagos or
so, then surprisingly, some people
tried to praise Buhari, Obasanjo said:
‘don’t praise him, I have not probed
him.’ It was after that incident that
Obasanjo set up Dr. Haroun’s probe
panel of the Petroleum Trust Fund
(PTF). Haroun probed PTF inside
out.
Buhari was discovered to be as
clean as snow. You know, why he
agreed to be the head of PTF was
not to condone what Abacha was
doing then, but he saw it as a way
of serving the country and he did
well. I have the record. Haroun
came out and said PTF account was
audited every year while Federal
Government account was not
audited in 36 years.
You know Babangida detained
Buhari for 40 months after he
overthrew him. Buhari’s mother
died while he was in detention and
as a Muslim, I expected Babangida
to rise above politics and allow
Buhari to go bury his mother. If he
was released, I am sure he wouldn’t
have run away. Buhari was not
allowed to go bury his mother. But
in the night after the woman was
buried, Babangida released Buhari.
His son died, the same thing
happened.
Anyway, after Buhari came out of
detention, he told Babangida to tell
the world about his corruption. The
records are there. The same thing
happened with the PTF. He told
Obasanjo to publish the report of
the panel, but Obasanjo could not
publish it because it was a certificate
of honour for Buhari. If that
Haroun’s report had any page in it
that indicted Buhari, Obasanjo
would have used that to disqualify
Buhari from contesting against him.
Buhari is clean. He is not corrupt. To
show how Buhari loves Nigeria, he
doesn’t like spending Nigerian
money frivolously. When he
overthrew Shehu Shagari, Buhari
never changed any chair or curtain
in Dodan Barracks. Buhari used
what Shagari was using until he left.
As minister, our total pocket money
under Buhari was N200 per month.
You could spend less than N200
without accounting for it, but
anything above N200, you must
account for it. When he increased
the money to N250, we clapped for
him at the executive council.
Now, as a former governor of the
defunct north-eastern state, former
minister of petroleum, former head
of state, former executive chairman
of PTF, Buhari has no house in
Abuja. If he goes to Abuja, he stays
in a private hotel. He has no house
either uphill or downhill, apart from
his house in Kaduna.
What’s your view about money
paid to ex-militant leaders to
secure oil pipeline?
I read the story and the justification
of Asari Dokubo on the money. I
read all the rubbishes on it. You see,
Jonathan cannot be a better Niger
Deltan than me. In the case of Niger
Delta militants, I have a curious
position. Asari Dokubo used to be
with me here in Ibadan. I have a
book coming out on him. He
changed from Christianity to Islam
to qualify him for training in Libya. I
have the document. Soboma, who
died, was also my cousin.
So, I was surrounded by ex-
militants. I cannot do anything
against them, which is not proper.
But is it right for Jonathan to have
paid that money to Dokubo,
Tompolo and Ateke Tom? If
Jonathan has done some research
he would know that Asari Dokubo
has no followers anymore. He
claimed he has 4, 000 people. Did
Jonathan tell him to bring out that 4,
000 people? I know that the other
time Asari Dokubo went to Port-
Harcourt, he hired people to follow
him. My book is coming with more
details on this.
On the surface, what Jonathan has
done looks as the right thing but if
one digs down into it, it is very
questionable. It is a good idea to get
local militants to secure oil pipelines,
but there is this other question. First,
they are paying them millions. Asari
Dokubo is collecting N9 million for
4, 000 followers. But did Jonathan
see this 4, 000 personnel or their
list? I am saying as of now, Asari
Dokubo has no followers. His
people fought against him and they
had left him. So, to me, all the
principles on the surface are
attractive but when one looks at the
nitty-gritty, it is questionable.
Asari Dokubo has never got a paid
job in his life. He dropped out of the
university twice, first at the
University of Calabar. So, what
message are we sending to the
younger generation? That if they
take arms against their country and
fellow countrymen, they will be
compensated? A vice-chancellor
salary is about N1 million now and a
dropout is being paid N9 million.
Ateke Tom is now permanently in
Abuja. Has Jonathan confirmed how
much control he has in the Niger
Delta area? The only person that I
can say has presence in the area is
Tompolo. So, the government
should come out with facts and
figures on this action. Secondly, the
President is indicting himself. He is
the Commander-in-Chief, as the
Chief Security Officer of Nigeria. The
constitution says the security of
individuals in the state is strictly the
responsibility of the state. Is the
President saying that the SSS, the
Army, the Navy, the Air Force and
all other security bodies in the
country cannot do what Asari
Dokubo and the rest are doing?
Why can’t they complement one
another?
What do you think of Jonathan?
Let me say what I have said
repeatedly. I have nothing personal
against President Goodluck
Jonathan. I have never met him
before and I don’t know whether I
want to meet him. But the problem
with him is that he believes so
much on praises of sycophants.
According to Senator Fulbright, an
American statesman, in his book,
‘The Arrogance of Power,’ he said to
criticise one’s country (leader) is to
do it a favour or also pay it a
compliment.
It is a favour because it will make
the leader to do better than he is
doing. It is a compliment because it
expresses a belief that he can do
better. So, if I say he is not doing
well, I expect him to do better. I
have already complimented it, that
he has the potentials to do better but
he is not doing well. So, criticism is
more act of patriotism than mere
adulation.
Whatever areas I take to score
Jonathan, I will not give him a pass
mark. Security is worst in our
history. Corruption is the worst. In
fact, corruption is worst now. I
don’t need anything from Jonathan
as a person. All I need from him is
to do well, so that the Ijaw will be
proud. Another thing is that after
Jonathan, an Ijaw man will not smell
Aso Rock in our lifetime.
Why would they allow an Ijaw man
there when the first one they gave
to us, messed it up? Long and
short, Jonathan has not done well. If
Jonathan is an examination paper for
me to mark, in A grade, he is out. I
will not give him B; I will not give
him C. I will give him D. The totality
is that he has not done well and the
earlier he realises this the better.
What would you say about
South-South forum?
The south-South forum or Southern
Peoples Assembly is nonsense. As
far as I am concerned, the people
there are knowledgeable people, but
I can’t help feeling that the groups
were formed to collect money from
Jonathan. When Odili was South-
South president, the same Edwin
Clark and the late MT Mbu were at
loggerhead, leading two groups of
South-South assembly.
Now, the South-South said it has
endorsed Jonathan for 2015 and he
is clapping? They don’t like him.
Anybody that can say that to him is
an enemy based on these reasons.
One, he has spent only the second
year of the first term. Any Ijaw man
that wants to help you should make
you to perform very well now.
Are you saying you don’t
support President Jonathan’s
plan for 2015?
He is going to fail. I can swear
before Almighty God and all the
things that Ijaw people believe, I
have heard knowledgeable Ijaw
people say he should not try it; it’s
not good for us. Already, the
country is more split now than ever
in our history. The dichotomies are
showing more and more now. If a
minority man has come, he has a
sacred duty to put it together.
One of the greatest speeches in our
history is Tafawa Balewa’s speech in
the Parliament entitled ‘Unity in
Diversity.’ It was a fantastic speech.
That is what the President is
supposed to do, so that when he
leaves another minority man would
have a chance. Right now, if
Jonathan leaves another minority
man, especially an Ijaw, would not
have a chance, because he has
messed it up. If he is doing well,
does he need the South-South
Forum to tell him that he is doing
well? If he is doing well, the whole
country will tell him that he is doing
well. He doesn’t need a South-South
Forum.
The South-South Forum is a
disadvantage for him. Why is it that
the South-South Forum is
endorsing him for 2015? He should
sit down and think. If he is doing
well, I will be the first to write an
article to praise him. I can even go
to Abuja to congratulate him.[left][/left][b][/b]

Mayokun Awodumila, popularly
known as May D may soon be a
member of the Chocolate City
group. MI gave a hint on this earlier
today on twitter. MI said May D is
almost saying ‘As a choc Boy”.
In an era where celebrities want
twitter verification ASAP, May D
may be the next Nigerian celeb to be
verified. If you didn’t know, all Choc
boys are verified.
You’d recall that May D was sacked
from Square Records without prior
notice. May D himself claimed that
he was not contacted and no
personal notice was issued to him
before the news went viral on the
internet.
Reports have it that a formal
announcement that May D has
joined Chocolate City will hit the
media soon.

Nigerian security forces fighting the
Boko Haram Islamist sect in the
North- East of the country said on
Friday that they had killed two
commanders from the group and
arrested eight other members in two
separate incidents. This is according
to reports from Reuters. The sect
has killed hundreds in attacks on
security forces, government offices
and churches since launching an
uprising in 2009 with the aim of
carving out an Islamic state. Agents
from the secret service stopped a car
at a check point on the outskirts of
Maiduguri on Wednesday and the
occupants opened fire on them, said
Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa,
spokesman for the Joint Military Task
Force in the North-Eastern city.
He said security forces returned fire
and killed the commanders. “The
two sect members were top
commanders coordinating the sect
activities in Mubi and Yola, in
Adamawa and Yobe states,” Musa
said, He added that in a separate
incident in Maiduguri, eight Boko
Haram suspects were arrested. The
details could not be independently
verified and there was no immediate
response from Boko Haram, which
is based in Maiduguri.

I’d like to shed some light on
something that women have been
puzzled about for centuries, and
that is the type of women men fall
in love with. There have been so
many books written on this
subject, yet most have not
delivered the common sense
answers I am going to share with
you in this issue of Smart
Woman’s Guide Newsletter…
Without wasting much time, I will
get right to the point. I am going to
give you 10 personality attributes
that men love to see in the women
they fall head over heels in love
with. Men are attracted to women
that have:
1. Intelligent – This attribute ranks
very high, after men have gotten
past your looks. Men love women
that are smart, opinionated, and
articulate. Most enjoy speaking to
women who have their own point
of view on subjects and are
passionate in discussing affairs of
the day. Men love to debate, and if
you can make them believe, or at
least respect, your point of view,
then you have a man that will see
you as an equal, and not as an
ornament to be displayed to the
rest of the world until the next best
ornament comes his way.
2. Good Humored – If you can
laugh at your man’s crude jokes or
take his wisecracks, you become
someone he wants to get to know
better. But if you’re the type that
easily gets upset when he jokes
about your raggedy hair or sloppy
dressing, men will not find your
personality as attractive as one
who possesses this quality.
3. Confident – When you have
your own opinion and can defend
it, are comfortable in your own
skin, regardless of your body size
or whatever else Mother Nature
has thrown your way, then you
have what it takes to attract men
that will fall head over heels in love
with you.
4. Supportive – Men find it easy to
fall in love with women that
encourage and support positive
undertakings they embark on. Men
love women that have the ability to
see what they see in the goals they
pursue. Men believe that when you
support their dreams and goals,
you believe in their ability to
accomplish those things that are
dear to their hearts. And when you
support that which is dear to a
man’s heart, you essentially have
the key to unlock his passionate
love for you.
5. Accommodating – When you
understand that men are not
perfect, and you are able to easily
forgive them for their
imperfections, then you possess
one of the most admirable qualities
men seek in their love interest.
However, if you are the type that
will nitpick every single thing they
do or nag them at the drop of a
hat, then you will not have a man
hanging around you for very long.
6. Patient – This attribute is quite
similar to that in #5. When I speak
of patience here, I am referring to a
woman’s ability to be in a
relationship with a man without
pressuring him into making a
serious commitment he may not
be ready to make. Now
understand that there is a way to
let a man know that you are
interested in settling down, without
coming across as desperate or
overbearing. Women that show
men that they are willing to wait
for them to propose a committed
relationship are apt to be more
attractive to men than those that
come across as impatient.
7. Sensual – A woman that is not
sensual is not attractive to any
man. To be attractive to a man you
must be perceived as someone
who is very comfortable with her
sexuality and knows how to initiate
sex spontaneously. If you believe
that men should always be the first
to make the move when it comes
to bedroom and lovemaking
matters, you may be doing
yourself more harm than good
when it comes to your ability to
attract men. Improve your ability
to initiate intimacy, and you will see
how much more attractive you will
appear to your guy. You can
improve in this area tremendously
if you are open to what Michael
Webb, a bestselling author, reveals
in his exciting e-book, “500
Lovemaking Tips & Secrets”.
8. Honest – Men find authentic and
honest women quite attractive. If
you are the type that tells it like you
see it, men will find this aspect of
your personality very attractive.
“Say what you will do and do what
you say” ought to be your motto.
Just as you respect and love men
that tell you the truth no matter
what, men feel the same way
when they meet a woman that
does not waste their time with fibs.
In a nutshell, men are attracted to
women that are honest and down
to earth, women that do not
pretend to be who they are not.
9. Open-minded – The willingness
to explore other possibilities, new
ideas, etc. is an attribute that men
seek in the women they want to
love. Being open-minded does not
mean that one has to compromise
one’s personal convictions, but
rather is able to see another point
of view and respect it, even if it is
not one that you share.
10. Health conscious – Women that
take care of themselves are
generally more attractive than
those that do not. After all a good
physique is the first thing that
attracts men, even before they get
to know how wonderful and
exciting you are. Men are attracted
to women that exercise, eat right,
take care of their hair, nails, and
dress well. To attract the best you
must look your best – it is that
simple.

Members of the House of
Representatives on Wednesday
launched an agitation for a N7m
increase in their quarterly
allowances, barely 24 hours after
resuming from a two-month
recess.
Each member of the House
currently enjoys N27m per quarter
as allowances but the lawmakers
want the sum jerked up to N35m,
the report said.
Speaker of the House, Aminu
Tambuwal, reportedly had a hectic
time calming frayed nerves at an
executive session on Wednesday.
Some of the lawmakers, in seeking
an increased allowance, at the
closed door session, reportedly
raised questions of financial
impropriety against the leadership
of the House.
Tambuwal was said to have used
the session, which lasted for over
two hours, to explain to his
aggrieved colleagues that the
leadership was transparent in the
running of House accounts.
The speaker reportedly tried to
convince members that there was
the need to prudently manage
resources.

Even with tears over the killing of
the U.S ambassador to Libya,
Christopher Stevens and 3 others,
the United States of America has
apologized to the whole world,
particularly to Countries ruled by
Muslims over the anti-Islamic film
released by an American video film,
which assaulted Prophet
Mohammed.
Already, the crisis has spread to
Yemen and some few Muslim ruling
nations, including Nigeria. Muslims
in the City of Jos have been
protesting over the anti-Islam film
released online. They have
embarked on burning American
flags even as soldiers are working
towards putting them off the
streets.
Speaking through its Secretary of
State, Hillary Clinton, Obama had
described the video as repulsive and
disgraceful, adding that the purpose
was to condemn religion and to
provoke violence.
Clinton, who spoke while attending
a meeting in Washington D.C. with
Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister
yesterday, pleaded with all Islamic
nations to pardon the Americans for
such blunder.
According to her “We are closely
watching what is happening in
Yemen and elsewhere, and we
certainly hope and expect that there
will be steps taken to avoid violence
and prevent the escalation of
protests into violence.
“I also want to take a moment to
address the video circulating on the
internet that has led to these
protests in a number of countries.
Let me state very clearly – and I
hope it is obvious – that the United
States Government had absolutely
nothing to do with this video. We
absolutely reject its content and
message. America’s commitment to
religious tolerance goes back to the
very beginning of our nation. And
as you know, we are home to
people of all religions, many of
whom came to this country seeking
the right to exercise their own
religion, including, of course,
millions of Muslims. And we have
the greatest respect for people of
faith.
“To us, to me personally, this video
is disgusting and reprehensible. It
appears to have a deeply cynical
purpose: to denigrate a great religion
and to provoke rage. But as I said
yesterday, there is no justification,
none at all, for responding to this
video with violence. We condemn
the violence that has resulted in the
strongest terms, and we greatly
appreciate that many Muslims in the
United States and around the world
have spoken out on this issue.
“Violence, we believe, has no place
in religion and is no way to honor
religion. Islam, like other religions,
respects the fundamental dignity of
human beings, and it is a violation
of that fundamental dignity to wage
attacks on innocents. As long as
there are those who are willing to
shed blood and take innocent life in
the name of religion, the name of
God, the world will never know a
true and lasting peace. It is especially
wrong for violence to be directed
against diplomatic missions. These
are places whose very purpose is
peaceful: to promote better
understanding across countries and
cultures. All governments have a
responsibility to protect those
spaces and people, because to
attack an embassy is to attack the
idea that we can work together to
build understanding and a better
future.
“Now, I know it is hard for some
people to understand why the
United States cannot or does not
just prevent these kinds of
reprehensible videos from ever
seeing the light of day. Now, I
would note that in today’s world
with today’s technologies, that is
impossible. However, even if it were
possible, our country does have a
long tradition of free expression,
which is enshrined in our
Constitution and our law, and we do
not stop individual citizens from
expressing their views no matter
how distasteful they may be.

Former Miss World and actress
Yukta Mookhey has lodged a
complaint against her husband
Prince Tuli for alleged domestic
violence, police said today.
"In her complaint, Mookhey alleged
that she had often been beaten and
troubled by her husband Prince Tuli.
A non-cognisable offence has been
registered after her complaint," said
Amboli police station's senior
inspector Harishchandra Vhatkar.
The officer refused to divulge further
details.
A non-cognizable offence is one in
which the police can neither register
an FIR, investigate, nor effect arrest
without the express permission or
direction from the court.
Another officer said that the actress
had lodged the complaint nearly
two months ago and she may also
approach the court seeking punitive
action against her businessman
husband.
Mookhey was crowned Miss World
in December 1999 at the Olympia
theatre in London at the age of 20.
She later acted in several Bollywood
movies.
Tuli is a New York-based
businessman and financial
consultant, whose family owns a
business empire in central India with
interests in logistics, hotels, malls,
education, and construction
equipment.

How can you claim to love Jesus (the prince of peace) whilst your Muhammad disbelieves the two great truths of the Bible's Jesus (the prince of peace): Jesus (the prince of peace) is the Son of God and only His atoning sacrifice opens for us the acceptance of God.

The apostles of Jesus (the prince of peace) have written for us the teachings of Jesus (the prince of peace), which are conflicting with the teachings of Muhammad. Who tells the truth? Isn't it easier to trust in the apostles who lived together with Jesus (the prince of peace) than to trust in Muhammad who lived 600 years later? Either Muhammad lies or the Apostles, but the both cannot be the witnesses of the same God.

If you are a Muslim, I urge you to appeal to Jesus (the prince of peace) of the Bible. You can get the forgiveness of your sins only from Him, because only He can pay to God the wages of your sins. If you hold on to the good and give up the bad, one day you will confess that Jesus (the prince of peace) is your Lord. It might just be today. The choice is yours.

What u dont know is, even Islam considers phophet Issah (asw) otherwise known as jesus as one of the most respected and most adored prophet that ever came into existence. But being religiously inclined is far more than that, he came just like any other prophet to preach the word of God to the whole world. But i really did not see any where in the bible where he said you should compare him to the most high (Allah). Christians go as far as saying 'jesus is lord' meaning you can otherwise call him God, which is a big sin to God. Even the first commandment in the bible says 'I am the God, your lord' and to the best of my knowledge i havent seen anywhere in the bible where he stated if there is any other 'lord' except him. And throughout jesus's life he only preached the words of God and never told anyone to serve him. He wasnt to the first prophet neither was he the last. God sent the last prophet. Muhammed (saw) to lead the whole world through the right path as laid down by other prophet that came before him. He came to show the whole world (for those who believe in God) the rights and norms of Allah, show them how to serve and worship him. He came with laid down protocols on how to worship Allah and anyone who believes in the existence of God and the day of judgement, should follow the preaching of prophet muhammed(saw) in respect to all other prophets that came before him.

karpentar: @poster Jesus Christ (I don't have to say "peace be unto him", because, he's the "prince of peace" thought in the holiest book on planet. "Turn the other chick". May God (not Allah) bless you in Jesus name. Amen!!!!!!

Its obviously true dat ignorance is definitely a disease...I pray u dont get to heaven before u know the truth because it will be too late by then.

bashy_demy: This is the joke i swear.. Am glad you (say) the truth.

bush meat catches hunter...lol
