People need to get themselves educated. This dry port y'all seeing is as a result of years of planning. It didn't start with Buhari.

One man sows another commissions...

Shiver me timbers. What business has the dead with the living uhh?

Whatever floats your boat.

But if you have an exact date of Christ's birth, let us know.

Ok no one has...so we decided to choose a date to celebrate it. Do you still have a problem with that?

The early apostles may not have seen the significance... but the later followers of Christ do; times and seasons change do you still have a problem with that?

muller101:
include it in the Bible if you can then celebrate it officially. Confused Christian

Obviously @muller101 you haven't read John 21:25.

Read it.

Now you did. Ok Bye

I don't feel the church's sentiments are unfounded. This is not a tribalism issue so imperialyoruba take a chill pill. It's about what the people hold dear. As per naming streets after non indigenes, I think the Igbos have had their fair share. There's a street in the heart of Aba called Dan Fodio (named after Usman Dan fodio), there's Yaradua drive in Owerri, IBB road and Hadija street in Enugu...I can go on and on. ImperialYoruba and Rashduct4luv you guys have never travelled the length and breadth of this country so stfu.

By the way, I think what Rochas has been exhibiting are the after effects of that spiritual slap. Please let's pray for him.

Seun of course.

when it comes to issues of land, people migrate, the Israelites might be the original owners of the said Jerusalem but during a long period of time the Palestinians migrated and settled in the west bank and they have occupied the territory for over 700years.

the only way out is to let Palestine control their part, isreal should control theirs, any attempt to claim the entire Jerusalem will spell doom for both countries.

Like we'd say in naija "e no concern us", but then let's look at this analogy. Assuming a fiery tribe came from North Africa and displaced a tribe in Nigeria, say the Hausas, from their native land. Then 300 years later, another tribe took the land forcefully, mind you no one emigrated voluntarily, then after many years the Hausa's came back for what's theirs and they took same land with the help of their friends. Who would you say rightfully owns the land? Remember, no one left voluntarily.

Having said that, your suggestion could have been adopted a long time ago but the issue of contention has always been the Temple Mount. The Jews view this place as their most holy site. It's more like what Mecca is to the Muslims. In fact they face towards the Mount to pray because it was the site of King Solomon's Temple The Muslims believe its the site Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ascended to heaven. In the Quran it is called the farthest mosque. And a Mosque was built there. The first Mosque built was destroyed by an earthquake. A second mosque built on the same site was also destroyed by another earthquake. A third mosque presently stands there.

Now if you were a Jew, how would you feel when you turn there to pray and you see a mosque? How would you feel when you aren't allowed by Muslims not to ascend the mount to pray? The Jews are even considerate. They control access to the Mosque but allow Muslims go up there to pray.

A true Muslim should read Quran Surah 17 and see where it was explicitly stated the land was given to the children of Israel. I'm sure most of the Muslims declaring intifada upandan dont even understand the Quran they read.

Efewestern:
lol.. it's really funny how people make noise with this isreal and Palestine issue.. what's even our business with how Jews and Arab bomb themselves.

Those lots don't give a shit about you.. stop being a slave... meanwhile this war gonna be interesting.. others are making conclusion because the "BIBLE SAID SO ", LOL.

The way isreali force are being overrated on this forum, one will think they are even among the top 10 powerful country in the world.. That was how one said Isreal will burn North Korea to the ground, I really don't know the type of weed they smoke.. lol
. NORTH Korea o.. lol..

Isreal occupation of West bank Jerusalem is illegal even the Catholic Pope is against it, for peace to reign both parties should find a way out,war is never going to solve any ish , but on a second note Islam has caused too many problems in this world, they should stop whining like a little child.

You're right Efe both sides need to sit down and talk things out. But for the sake of posterity the Jews lived in Jerusalem long before the Palestinians showed up. Let's not forget who lived there during the Roman empire or who got chased from their lands by the Babylonians.

History aside, the Quran has a stand on Jerusalem but I'm surprised most Muslims have turned a blind eye to the part of the Quran that talks about it.

I don't know why some people will just carry other people's matter on their head like gala and lacasera.

The Malaysian military don't have the capacity for sustained warfare against Israel. Look at the distance between them on the map. They would be bombed back to their factory settings before they ever thought of deploying that their old school submarine.

Countries must learn to think strategically. Trump's decision was never about how much he loves the US. This is about North Korea. Doubt it? Here's my take.

There have been an uneasy silence among US allies ever since the standoff between the US and NK. And of course Trump knows he'd be needing the support of his not so trusted allies Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan should he decide to take out N Korea and Russia and China decides to back them.

So what does he do? Bring up a hot topic through religion and see who's gonna be a true friend or turncoat. One minute he was tweeting about dealing with rocket man and the next he was talking about recognizing Jerusalem. Seems erratic right? Well not so anymore because the US has the answer it needs. The Turks, now the Malaysians are showing they can never be trusted in the scheme of things. Compare these so called allies response with that of the EU, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and even Jordan. Of course Trump wasn't the one who enacted the US's Jerusalem Act of 1995. The US Congress did. He just stirred the waters to catch up fish and believe me, he's already got lots of fishes.

PS: I just hope bubu doesn't make any strategic blunder in France. Or take up the advice of those blockheads called MURIC who don't even read or understand the Quran.

Update: @blackpanda, Trump isn't daft or stupid. He's just erratic. But his being erratic has a pattern and the Pentagon is utilizing that. You think if the Pentagon wasn't in support they wouldn't have advised him to stop tweeting to avoid heating up things? To buttress what I earlier said, he just wants to stir up the Muslim world to see who's with the US. I feel that's why he retweeted the anti- Muslim video and when that didn't come up with the desired reaction, he came up with this.

DEIFIED:
Yeh, imagine this car on nigeria road. Other cars will simply avoid it. see its front look.

Danfo drivers won't. They will give it a scratch.

Good one.

Way to go.

Alex Ekwueme was a great leader and championed the cause of democracy not just in Nigeria but Africa. He truly deserves a state burial and some comments here shows total disrespect to a man that stood up against goons like Abacha. Something these cowards who hide behind a keyboard can never do in their lifetime.

May the labor of our heroes past never be in vain.

Nne, biko clean your eyes and move on. No one is worth your tears and those who are will never make you cry.

OP stop deceiving people. Electric cars are not economically feasible compared to I.C.E cars.
The cost of those electric cars you gave comes with subsidies from the Western governments. Besides the cost of producing the batteries for electric cars is rising and will continue to rise if we all switched to electric cars. Why is that?? Simply because the elements (Lithium, cobalt and some other elements) used in making them are rare.

Cost of lithium per tonne: $7000
Cost of cobalt per tonne $66,000

Cobalt was $40,000 as at February 2017. These costs will keep rising if we all switched to electric cars. That's the reason why the Chinese govt had to reduce its subsidy on electric cars.
Also if we all plugged our cars to charge overnight, how will we handle the resulting overload?

And finally electric cars are not really green. Check out pictures of lithium mines...not a sight to behold. Besides dead batteries would be a major source of pollution to the environment.

This US shale oil is a wild card in the industry.

It's changed so much forecast. 2019 will be bearish.

Lalasticlala comman separate these people fighting on my thread.

Nigeria needs to explore other sources of earning forex and not depend majorly on oil. Unless there's a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, or US and North Korea I don't see oil prices going back to $100.

Besides with all the talks of renewable energy we need to start looking for possible alternatives to counter major shocks in the long run.

By the way, I thought nickel was discovered in commercial quantities in the North last year. Why is nobody talking about tapping into that $400B nickel mine?

Nostradamus:
this is only possible in developed countries.


let's assume it happened in naija,i will go to the boss early in the morning and lie that i was bound at gunpoint(am not encouraging lying,but at least i should say something).

Lol
What if the Boss came around at night and found you sleeping and asked his boyz to remove the tyres? And you came up with this story in the morning.

(CNN) A senior US general said Saturday that countries like Russia and China are actively building weapons that can target space-based US military assets like satellites.

"They've been building weapons, testing weapons, building weapons to operate from the earth in space, jamming weapons, laser weapons, and they have not kept it secret," Gen. John Hyten, the head of US Strategic Command, told an audience at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California.

"They're building those capabilities to challenge the United States of America, to challenge our allies, and to change the balance of power in the world," added Hyten, who oversees all US military operations in space. "We cannot allow that to happen."

Russia and China saw how the US military made successful use of satellites during military operations like the 1991 Gulf War and now seek ways to deny the US the ability to use satellites in future conflicts, Hyten said.

One critical space-based asset are satellites that warn US military planners about the launch of enemy missiles.

"Every missile that comes off the planet is seen first by one of our overhead missile warning capabilities," Hyten said, adding that the satellites are "not easy to defend."

Republican Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, spoke alongside Hyten about the threats to US satellites.

"Most folks aren't thinking about the fact that our first way of detecting a launch by North Korea, so that we can turn our radars to start tracking it and start aiming our interceptors to be able to get it in time, is a satellite up there waiting for that heat signature," said Rogers, a vocal advocate of creating a separate US military Space Corps.

"We can not let that satellite be dazzled for 10 or 15 minutes, it would be too late," he added.

Hyten advocated for making satellites more defensible, but he acknowledged that there are currently no rules of engagement when it comes to military conflict in space, adding that international norms are needed.

Heather Wilson, the secretary of the Air Force, said the US needs to embrace a new policy and make it clear that if command and control or warning satellites are targeted, the US "would consider that to be a hostile act" and respond.

"It's probably time as a country that we start to talk about this," Wilson said.

Dude don't quote me ever again if you're gonna use the F word.

Don Mugabe

Anyway no right thinking person should be in support of that 'coup that isn't a coup'. A plot hatched in faraway China and has the tacit support of the West to overthrow a constitutional government howbeit it was carried out must be condemned as it sets a nad precedence to other militias in Africa. Power change must be through the ballot and only through that means. Power should belong to the people and not the man wielding a gun.

Having said that, I don't support sit tight regimes or oppressive governments like that of Mugabe.

I can see the lapse in our nation's security program. If a cook to the President could so easily reveal the job she does in the villa then there must be lapses here and there.

I can't imagine someone in a Yankee white program in the US coming to reveal what he/she does in the White house.
