False flag operation yen yen yen.

Some of u don’t even know how ridiculous u sound when u spin all these conspiracy theories here and there .

So it was Israel's self- sabotage/ inside job that was behind Hamas firing rockets into Israeli’s position on October 7 ? It was inside job that Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli military bases, massacred over 1,100 Israelis and also kidnapped several Israelis as hostages. Maybe u have forgotten that these terrorists even wore body cam while carrying out their terrorist acts and those videos made it to the internet .

If you know all of these and still use ur God given Brian to believe a conspiracy theory , Omo I don’t know what to make of you o.

I have exposed your shallow understanding of things and limited knowledge on how things operate, this was how you were arguing blindly about the DR and PHR when I gave you insights you weren't privy to before they became public knowledge. You are here again arguing about the possibility of a false flag attacks/collusion to achieve strategic goal.
Tomorrow when things become clearer you will shift goalposts as usual or go silent about it.

TrebleChamp:
Was Charlie Kirk murdered because he was beginning to question Izrel and Bibi genocidal actions in Gaza?
Was October 7 attack an inside job?

At this point nothing is too sacred nor profane for the zionists

TrebleChamp:
You can condemn Hamas attack on Oct 7th and also condemn Izrel murdering women and children in Gaza. Just admit you are only supporting the killing of innocent men, women and children for crimes committed by few because you hate Muslims..

Na when person wake up na when him morning start. This is what some of us have known since and resisting yet we are accused of being terrorists sympathizers, soon you'll be listed as being a terrorist sympathizer by you know who.

Ever heard of false flag operation to achieve a predetermined aim? Nothing happens without an actor either hidden or apparent behind it

Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said that the Israeli aggression against Qatari sovereignty has exceeded all limits and violated every humanitarian principle

"Israel's crimes will not be forgotten... and an attack on a country that is mediating a ceasefire will not be forgotten," Mr Aboul Gheit said in an Arab-Islamic summit in Doha

Egypt affirms its complete rejection of targeting civilians and starving an entire people," President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said, stressing that "Egypt will continue to support the legitimate rights of the Palestinians and totally rejects any proposals to displace the Palestinians from their lands"

Mr El Sisi called for the establishment of an Arab-Islamic mechanism for consultation on confronting challenges

If Israel wishes to assassinate leaders, why engage in negotiations?" says Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim during his opening speech at a joint Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Co-operation emergency summit in Doha.

"Have you ever heard of a state of such aggression, a state that is a party of negotiations yet aggresses on the venue where negotiations are taking place?"

[The Heart Becomes Rusted]

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751 AH) said:

“The heart rusts from two things: heedlessness and sin.
Its polish comes from two things: seeking forgiveness and remembrance.

Whoever spends most of his time in heedlessness will find that rust accumulates heavily on his heart, and the degree of rust matches the degree of heedlessness.

When the heart becomes rusted, knowledge no longer imprints upon it as it truly is. Falsehood appears to him in the form of truth, and truth in the form of falsehood. Once rust has built up, the heart darkens, and the realities no longer show as they really are.

If the rust continues until the heart turns black and the rān (ران, covering; see Tafsīr of Sūrah al-Muṭaffifīn 83:14) overtakes it, then its perception and understanding are ruined. It accepts no truth and rejects no falsehood. This is the most severe punishment of the heart.

And its root lies in heedlessness and following desires, for they extinguish the light of the heart and blind its inner sight.”

Replace Dembele with Greenwood.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has recovered over N5bn and $10m from contractors and government officials indicted in the fraud in the turnaround maintenance of the nation’s refineries in Port Harcourt, Kaduna and Warri.

Sunday PUNCH reliably gathered that the anti-graft agency was working to recover another N10bn and $13m allegedly siphoned through contractors engaged in the maintenance.

Our correspondent learnt that the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, took personal charge of the investigation owing to his displeasure with the non-functional refineries in spite of humongous public spendings on them.

Sunday PUNCH reports that Nigeria’s four refineries have been largely dormant for decades despite several attempts at rehabilitation.

Successive administrations have budgeted billions of dollars for their turnaround maintenance, but the facilities in Warri, Kaduna, and Port Harcourt have continued to underperform, forcing the country to rely heavily on imported petroleum products.

The EFCC is said to be probing the sum of $1,559,239,084.36 allocated to the Port Harcourt refinery, $740,669,600 released for the Kaduna refinery, and $656,963,938 approved for the Warri refinery.

Top sources at the anti-graft agency revealed that fraudulent practices, including over-invoicing, contract inflation, and questionable payments, were largely responsible for the inability of the refineries to function despite huge public spending over the years.

They disclosed that former management teams of the three refineries were repeatedly interrogated in connection with the discoveries.

EXPLAINER WHAT DID NGOZI OKWONJO IWEALA SAY ? WHAT DID SHE MEAN? Sadeeq Shehu
There have been many opinions many divergent interpretations of what Mrs NOI said and what she meant by her statement about the economic program of the PBAT administration. Some said it was unreserved praise , some said it was unreserved condemnation. While factoring the fact that NOI is a renowned economist she is also a diplomat visiting the President of her country. I also note the statement she made was a short statement to the press (for public consumption) but before then she has held a closed door (Id say FRANK) discussion with Mr President. Putting all that together Id say the statement she made was a reserved and qualified praise for PBAT Economics.

Nevertheless, to critically examine and explain what WTO DG said and what it meant, the issue was turned into a question for a PhD Class in a prestigious university as follows:

Q1. Critically examine and explain this statement by Ngozi okonjo iweala head of WTO on Nigeria's economy and the government : -

“The President and his team have worked hard to stabilize the economy. The reforms have been in the right direction. The next step is growth, and alongside that, building social safety nets so those feeling the pinch of reforms can get support.”
She added that growth, job creation, and income expansion must go hand-in-hand with measures to cushion the impact of ongoing reforms on vulnerable Nigerians.

Below is the top award winning answer:

1. Context of the Statement

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as Director-General of the WTO and a former Nigerian finance minister, brings both international credibility and local understanding to her comments. Her statement acknowledges that the Nigerian government, under the current administration, has implemented painful but necessary reforms—such as fuel subsidy removal, exchange rate unification, and efforts at fiscal discipline. These policies aim to stabilize the macroeconomic environment and restore investor confidence.

2. Positive Assessment – “Reforms have been in the right direction”

Macroeconomic stabilization: Unifying the exchange rate reduces distortions and arbitrage opportunities. Subsidy removal addresses fiscal leakages and creates room for infrastructure investment.

Signal to investors: Such reforms demonstrate policy seriousness and are often welcomed by international institutions (IMF, World Bank, WTO).

Medium-term potential: If sustained, reforms can create a foundation for productivity-driven growth, improved foreign direct investment, and stronger fiscal balance.

3. Cautionary Note – “Next step is growth and safety nets”

However, Okonjo-Iweala is careful to balance praise with warnings:

Growth challenge: Stabilization does not automatically translate to growth. Inflation remains high, unemployment and underemployment are worsening, and private sector productivity is constrained by poor infrastructure, power shortages, and insecurity.

Distributional impact: Reforms like subsidy removal and naira devaluation disproportionately hurt the poor and middle class. Prices of food, transport, and energy have skyrocketed, pushing more Nigerians into poverty.

Need for safety nets: Without social protection (cash transfers, targeted subsidies, food programs), reforms risk deepening inequality and fueling social unrest. Her stress on “social safety nets” implies the government must avoid a situation where macroeconomic stability benefits elites and investors, but ordinary Nigerians bear the costs.

4. Strategic Implications
For Government: It must complement stabilization reforms with inclusive growth policies—investment in agriculture, MSMEs, industrialization, and job creation programs. Expanding fiscal space must be channeled into visible improvements in healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

For Citizens: Nigerians should temper expectations of quick results. Economic recovery will take time, but they should hold government accountable for ensuring that reforms don’t just produce statistical stability but real improvement in living standards.

For International Partners: The WTO DG’s remarks also serve as a signal that Nigeria still needs support—technical, financial, and trade-related—to translate reform pain into long-term gain.
5. Critical Reflection
Her statement is diplomatic but pointed:
She legitimizes the government’s policy direction (to avoid outright criticism).
Yet she highlights the gap between reform and real impact, warning that without social protection and inclusive growth, reforms could lose political legitimacy.
Implicitly, she recognizes that stabilization without jobs and poverty reduction is economically unsustainable and politically dangerous.

In summary:
Okonjo-Iweala’s message is that Nigeria is on the right path economically in terms of reforms, but not yet delivering tangible welfare benefits. Stabilization must now be followed by broad-based growth, job creation, and safety nets—otherwise, reforms risk collapsing under the weight of public discontent.

I try to stay away from unnecessary debates but let me offer my own view from a purely technical & economist perspective (for education purposes only) to recent debates that were really unnecessary.

When economists says “an economy is now stable”, they usually mean that theeconomy has reached a point where it is no longer
experiencing major fluctuations/ disruptions. In practical terms, it suggests Macroeconomic Indicators are Steady; Predictability and Confidence where Businesses, investors, & consumers feel more confident making long-term plans & there are no Immediate Crisis. In short saying an economy is “stable” means it has reached a balanced state where economic activities are proceeding without major turbulence. An economy being described as “stable” however, does not always mean that citizens are free from hardship. When economists say the economy is “stable,” they usually mean that overall indicators (like inflation, exchange rates, and GDP growth) are no longer swinging unpredictably. For eg Inflation falling from 25% to 12% & staying steady might be seen as stability. However, prices may still be very high compared to past years, meaning people continue to struggle. Citizens experience the economy differently through cost of food, housing, transport, healthcare, and wages. Even in a “stable” economy, if incomes are low & basic goods remain expensive, families still face hardship. Stability might only mean conditions are not getting worse quickly, not that they’ve improved enough to ease daily struggles. So both stability which is good can coexist with hardship which is bad for several reasons: 1. Stabilization Phase: After a crisis (e.g.currency crash or hyperinflation), stability may mean the bleeding has stopped. But citizens may still be hurting from the high cost of living established during the crisis.
2.Lag Effect: Economic stability often benefits investors & businesses first who might start posting great results. It can take months or even years before stability eases hardship & translates into job creation,higher wages, or cheaper goods for citizens. Assuming the stability holds long enough(very important) But till then the pain is real, immediate & personal & there is still risk of stability reversing in which case hardship won’t be eased. So in summary, Economic stability is like stopping a boat from rocking wildly but hardships persist if the boat is still far from shore. For citizens, stability may only mean less new hardship is being added,not that life has become easier yet.But the first step to reversing hardship is stability & stopping the bleed. It’s a necessary not sufficient condition.

Shaykh Muqbil رحمه الله said:

“Happiness cannot exist between a husband and wife except by their combined efforts; remaining patient with one another; working closely towards goodness and displaying teamwork whilst nurturing their children.”

[Anaqeed al-Karāmah, p. 7]

The Obligation of a Woman Serving Her Husband

Shaykh al-Muḥaddith Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

I said: Some of the aforementioned aḥādīth clearly indicate the obligation upon the wife to obey her husband and serve him within her ability. There is no doubt that among the foremost matters included in this is serving him in his home, and what is related to it, such as raising his children and the like. The scholars have differed regarding this, as Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah said in al-Fatāwā (2/234–235):

The scholars have differed as to whether it is upon her to serve him in matters such as preparing the bed in the home, handing food and drink, baking, grinding, preparing food for his slaves and his animals — such as feeding his riding beast and the like.

Some of them said: Service is not obligatory. This view is weak, like the weakness of the statement of those who said that cohabitation and intimacy are not obligatory upon him! For this is not living together with kindness, for even a companion on a journey — who is akin to a person’s companion in the home — if he does not assist him in what benefits him, then he has not lived with him in kindness.

And it is said — and this is the correct view — that service is obligatory, for the husband is her master in the Book of Allah, and she is ʿāniyah (captive) with him according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (as has preceded on p. 270), and upon the captive and the slave is service. And because this is what is customary.

Then among these [scholars] are those who said: only light service is obligatory; and among them are those who said: service is obligatory according to what is customary. And this is the correct view — that it is upon her to serve him with the service that is customary from one like her to one like him, and this varies according to circumstances. So the service of a Bedouin woman is not like the service of a village woman, and the service of a strong woman is not like the service of a weak woman.

I said: This is the truth, if Allah, the Most High, wills — that it is obligatory upon the woman to serve in the home. This is the statement of Mālik and Aṣbagh, as in al-Fatḥ (9/418), and of Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah, and likewise al-Jawzajānī from the Ḥanābilah as in al-Ikhtiyārāt (p. 145), and a group from the Salaf and the Khalaf, as in al-Zād (4/46). We have not found for those who said that it is not obligatory any sound evidence.

As for the statement of some of them: “The marriage contract only necessitates enjoyment, not service” — it is refuted by the fact that enjoyment is also attained by the woman from her husband, so they are equal in this regard. And it is known that Allah, Blessed and Most High, has made obligatory upon the husband something else for his wife — namely, her maintenance, her clothing, and her accommodation. Justice therefore necessitates that there should also be something else obligatory upon her for her husband, and this is nothing other than her serving him — especially since he is the qawwām (maintainer) over her by the explicit text of the Noble Qur’an as has preceded. And if she does not carry out the service, then he will be forced to serve her in her home — and this would make her the qawwāmah over him, which is the opposite of the Qur’anic verse, as is clear. Thus it is established that she must serve him, and this is what is meant.

And also: The man taking on the service [of the household] leads to two entirely different outcomes: that the man becomes occupied with service, diverting him from seeking provision and other beneficial matters, and that the woman remains in her home idle from any work she is obliged to perform. The corruption of this is not hidden in the Sharīʿah, which has made the rights between the spouses equal, and even given the man a degree over her. For this reason, the Messenger ﷺ did not remove the complaint of his daughter Fāṭimah — may Allah be pleased with her — when:

She came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining to him about what her hands endured from the hand-mill, and it had reached her that some captives had come to him. She did not find him, so she mentioned that to ʿĀʾishah. When he came, ʿĀʾishah informed him. ʿAlī — may Allah be pleased with him — said: He came to us when we had taken to our beds, and we were about to stand, but he said: “Remain where you are.” He came and sat between me and her until I felt the coolness of his feet upon my stomach. He said: Shall I not direct you to something better than what you asked for? When you take to your bed, or you retire to your bed, then say: “Subḥān Allāh” thirty-three times, “al-ḥamdu lillāh” thirty-three times, and “Allāhu akbar” thirty-four times — for that is better for you than a servant. [ʿAlī said: I did not abandon it thereafter. It was said: Not even on the night of Ṣiffīn? He said: Not even on the night of Ṣiffīn.]

Reported by al-Bukhārī (9/417–418).

So you see that the Prophet ﷺ did not say to ʿAlī: “There is no service upon her; rather it is upon you.” And he does not show favouritism in rulings to anyone, as Ibn al-Qayyim — may Allah be pleased with him — said. Whoever wishes to research this matter further, then let him refer to his valuable book Zād al-Maʿād (4/45–46).

This, and there is nothing in what has preceded regarding the obligation of a woman’s service to her husband that contradicts the recommendation of the man participating with her in that, if there is free time and opportunity. Rather, this is from good companionship between the spouses. For this reason, Lady ʿĀʾishah — may Allah be pleased with her — said:

He would be in the service of his family — meaning, serving his family — and when the prayer was due, he would go out to the prayer.

Reported by al-Bukhārī (2/129 and 9/418), al-Tirmidhī (3/314) who authenticated it, al-Mukhliṣ from the third of the sixth of al-Mukhliṣiyyāt (66/1), and Ibn Saʿd (1/366).

And he [al-Tirmidhī] reported it in al-Shamāʾil (2/185) through another route from her with the wording:

He was a man from among men: he would remove lice from his garment, milk his sheep, and serve himself.

Its narrators are those of the Ṣaḥīḥ, and in some of them there is weakness.

However, it was reported by Aḥmad and Abū Bakr al-Shāfiʿī with a strong chain, as I have verified in al-Silsilah al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah (no. 670). And Allah is the One who grants success.
