Foreign Affairs › King Orders Food, Medical Aid For Devastated Syrian Regions by Amoto94(op): 7:16am On Mar 07, 2016
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia will provide food and
medical aid to the most devastated regions in
Syria in cooperation with the International
Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) and Red
Crescent Societies.
An agreement to this effect was signed on
Saturday by Dr. Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al-
Rabeah, supervisor general of the King Salman
Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre and adviser
at the Royal Court, and Elhadj Amadou Sy,
Secretary General of IFRC and Red Crescent
Societies.
The agreement comes in the wake of the
directives of Custodian of the Two Holy
Mosques King Salman to provide aid to the
most devastated Syrian regions.
Saudi Arabia has been supporting Syrians by
providing accommodation and allowing the
Syrians living in the Kingdom to bring their
families and relatives to live with them
unconditionally. As many as 343,150 Syrians
are registered in the public education and
university education in the Kingdom free of
cost. In addition, free medical services are
provided to Syrians in all government hospitals
in the Kingdom. They are also issued permits to
start business.
More than 2 million Syrians have benefited
from the Kingdom’s assistance since the
beginning of the Syrian crisis.
The Kingdom has honored commitments for
Syrian refugees by providing $100 million,
raising the total aid to $780 million since 2011.
The people-driven aid was delivered to the
Syrian refugees through the Saudi National
Campaign to Support Brethren in Syria, under
the direct supervision of the Crown Prince
Mohammed Bin Naif.

Crime › Man ‘with 1kg Of Cocaine Wrapped Around His Waist’ Arrested In Dubai by Amoto94(op): 7:05am On Mar 07, 2016
DUBAI // A 30-year-old transit passenger was arrested with more than a kilogram of cocaine wrapped around his waist, Dubai Criminal Court heard on Sunday.

Nigerian E P was arrested in Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport on December 19 last year.

He was charged with attempting to carry 50 capsules of cocaine through Dubai to Nigeria. E P confessed to the charge in court.

Prosecutors said a police officer suspected E P and requested his passport.

“When I asked him for an identification document, he became tense, therefore I requested him to accompany me to the inspection room,” said policeman A H, 60.

He said E P refused to UnCloth in the inspection room. “The area around his waist was bloated, but he refused to uncover it,” said A H, who called a major at the anti-narcotics office in the airport.

E P was searched and when his trousers were lowered, police found 1.18kg of cocaine hidden inside capsules wrapped around his waist.

“When we asked him about the drugs, he said it was cocaine and that he was taking them to Nigeria after he brought them from Brazil,” said A H.

E P awaits a verdict on April 5.

Foreign Affairs › China’s Proxy War In Syria: by Amoto94(op): 8:57pm On Mar 04, 2016
A few months ago, in a remote town in Idlib
province, northern Syria, an unusual foreign
militant presence alarmed Syrian locals. The
fighters were reportedly of the Muslim Uighur
minority from Xinjiang province in western
China.
For a population which has grown used to the
multinational nature of the militancy, two
aspects of these new fighters struck them: their
large numbers and their ethnicity. A year ago,
they were barely hundreds of Uighur fighters,
belonging to the Al-Nusra Front-allied Turkistan
Islamic Party (TIP). Today, according to several
sources in the province, there are a few
thousand Uighur fighters, and many of them
arrived with their families after a long and
treacherous journey from China and central
Asia.
The Uighur are believed to have been seen in
large numbers in disparate regions of Idlib,
including the strategic town of Jisr Al-Shoghur,
Ariha, and the highlands of Jabal Al-Zawiya.
They have settled with their families in
deserted Alawite towns in Jisr Al-Shoghur, a
local journalist told Al Arabiya English. Videos
have emerged since last October purporting to
show them fighting in Al-Ghab plains in Hama’s
western countryside. And in Jib Al-Ahmar in
Latakia Province, the propaganda material
showcases a tank and US made anti-armor Tow
missiles.
The Uighur militants had reportedly moved
into Syria following a Chinese-backed Pakistani
campaign against their bases on the borders
with Afghanistan. The Pakistani military claimed
they had assassinated the group’s leader, Abdul
Haq, in 2010. The Pakistani defense minister
went further during a visit to China last year, to
declare the Al-Qaeda linked group members
have either been killed, or have left
Afghanistan somehow.
The Uighur’s increasing presence is believed to
be behind the string of reports about possible
Chinese intervention alongside the Russian and
Syrian regime forces.
Last December, the Chinese parliament passed
a controversial counter terrorism law, which
allows the Red Army to venture abroad. China
started building its first overseas naval base in
Djibouti, Africa, and conducted in January elite
forces trainings for “desert operations” in
“unfamiliar territory.”
“There are weapons and technical supplies,” a
Syrian regime source said, and “the Chinese
Embassy’s security delegation has been
expanded, suggesting preparations for a wider
role, and a Chinese team of experts had
arrived in Damascus’s military airport.”
The major question, the source continues, is
whether the Chinese military would play a
crucial role in the fight to regain Idlib.
However, a Chinese ground intervention
remains highly unlikely, according to Prof.
Steve Tsang, associate fellow at Chatham
House’s Associate Program. Tsang told Al
Arabiya English that he believes the Chinese
government lacks both “the military capability
and political will” to sustain such an
engagement. “The Chinese government will
support the Russians as they don’t want to see
Assad fall.”
A Syrian militant source in close contact with
Uighur fighters believes they are in Syria to
stay. The Uighur fighters speak of a treacherous
journey from their home province and the
Pakistan-Afghan borders to Syria, according to
the source, who cites conversations with the
militants. “Their journey was very costly, an
Uighur fighter told me he sold his house to
afford the trip here with his family members.
How could he think of returning?”
And unlike many other groups and foreign
fighters, “they don’t hide their faces, although
this carries a huge risk back home. They don’t
plan to return,” says the militant.
The Uighur families have allegedly settled in
abandoned towns, previously inhabited by
minorities, especially Alawites who fled in fear
of persecution, according to two journalists
from Idlib.
To help this process, the Turkistan Islamic
Party, previously known as the East Turkistan
Islamic Movement (ETIM), printed an Arabic
language magazine, Turkistan Al-Islamiya,
introducing the local population and other
militant groups to their plight under China’s
Communist rule, especially the tensions with
the Han settlers, whose immigration has been
allegedly encouraged by the government to
turn the Uighur into even more of a minority.
“We have been largely unaware of their plight,
and their magazine has helped breed some
sympathy for their cause,” the Syrian militant
said. However, he adds: “They remain largely
poor in resources, usually aiming for free rides
in transportation.” Since they are latecomers,
the Uighur fighters have missed on the great
spoils of heavy weaponry from the regime
forces.
This has reportedly left the Uighur militants
totally reliant on Nusra. In fact, their relatively
large number enforced the organization’s
previously dwindling ranks, as it had suffered in
its fight against Daesh (the so-called IS). The
Uighur have allegedly played a crucial role in
Nusra’s recent gains in the Idlib province. Their
military achievements and their abstinence
from interfering in civilian issues, such as
levying taxes or enforcing Shariah law, has
rendered them popular among the population,
according to sources in Idlib.
Their alliance with Nusra is believed to be a
continuation of long ties with Al-Qaeda, and
their allegiance to the Taliban movement.
Xinjiang borders both Afghanistan and Pakistan,
and their relationship with the Taliban
extended beyond the Afghan war in 2001 until
the summer of 2015.
The Uighur presence has wider implications on
the prospects for Syria, according to a Syrian
journalist based in Aleppo. “The regional and
international communities want this conflict
prolonged,” he says. “This conflict is no longer
about Syrians, it is the mother of many other
conflicts.” — Al Arabiya News

Business › Nigeria Spending 80% Of Revenue On Debt Servicing- IDB by Amoto94(op): 7:40am On Mar 02, 2016
ABUJA—THE Senate was, yesterday, told by the Islamic Development Bank , IDB, that Nigeria was spending 80 percent of its total revenues to service debts. It also ranked Nigeria as one of the countries in the world using the largest percentage of its revenues for debt payment. According to IDB, this act explains why the nation bleeds economically and this requires urgent expansion. Disclosing this yesterday when he visited the Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign and Local Debts, Senator Shehu Sani, APC Kaduna Central, resident representative of IDB in Nigeria, Abdallah Kiliaki, said though Nigeria’s debt Gross Domestic Product, GDP, ratio was low at 17 percent, resources being used to pay the debts were enormous, going by percentages taken on a yearly basis. This was even as the Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign and Local Debts, Senator Shehu Sani, APC Kaduna Central, declared that Nigeria’s total debts owed by the states and Federal governments currently stood at $60 billion. According to IDB’s representative, if Nigeria must save itself from getting suffocated by such huge debt servicing with limited resources, there is urgent need for Federal Government to expand the scope of its resources through diversification of the economy into other critical areas, especially agriculture, on the template of value addition from production, to processing and to export. He said: “My visit is very crucial, because we need to look at the debt profile of a country before we give it new contractual sort of financing.” www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/nigeria-spending-80-of-revenue-on-debt-servicing/

Saudi arabia remains the number one exporter of extrimist/terrorist ideologies worldwide,nothing can chenge this fact..Wikipedia clearly explaned with
Valid Sources, SAUDI"S role as one of the countries who engages in state sponsored terrorism.read the excerpt below., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism


While Saudi Arabia is often a secondary source of funds and support for terror movements who can find more motivated and ideologically invested benefactors (e.g. Qatar), Saudi Arabia remains perhaps the most prolific sponsor of international Islamist terrorism, allegedly supporting groups as disparate as the Afghanistan Taliban, Al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) and the Al-Nusra Front.
Saudi Arabia is said to be the world's largest source of funds and promoter of SALAFIST JIHADISM,which forms the ideological basis of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS and others. Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide, according to Hillary Clinton. According to a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state, "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeTand other terrorist groups."
The violence in Afghanistan and Pakistanis partly bankrolled by wealthy, conservative donors across the Arabian Sea whose governments do little to stop them. Three other Arab countries which are listed as sources of militant money are Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, all neighbors of Saudi Arabia. Taliban and their militant partners the Haqqani network earn "significant funds" through UAE-based businesses. Kuwait is described as a "source of funds and a key transit point" for al-Qaida and other militant groups.The Pakistani militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, which carried out the 2008 Mumbai attacks, used a Saudi-based front company to fund its activities in 2005.According to studies, most of suicide bombers in Iraq are Saudis.15 of the 19 hijackers of the four airliners who were responsible for 9/11 originated from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon.Osama bin Laden was born and educated in Saudi Arabia.

Starting in the mid-1970s the Islamic resurgence was funded by an abundance of money from Saudi Arabian oil exports. The tens of billions of dollars in " petro-Islam" largess obtained from the recently heightened price of oil funded an estimated "90% of the expenses of the entire faith."
Throughout the Sunni Muslim world, religious institutions for people both young and old, from children's maddrassas to high-level scholarships received Saudi funding, "books, scholarships, fellowships, and mosques" (for example, "more than 1500 mosques were built and paid for with money obtained from public Saudi funds over the last 50 years"wink, along with training in the Kingdom for the preachers and teachers who went on to teach and work at these universities, schools, mosques, etc. The funding was also used to reward journalists and academics who followed the Saudis' strict interpretation of Islam; and satellite campuses were built around Egypt for Al Azhar, the world's oldest and most influential Islamic university.
The interpretation of Islam promoted by this funding was the strict, conservative Saudi-based Wahhabism or Salafism.[ [In its harshest form, it preached that Muslims should not only "always oppose" infidels "in every way," but "hate them for their religion]] ... for Allah's sake," that democracy"is responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th century," [[that Shiaa and other non-Wahhabi Muslims are " infidels]]", etc. While this effort has by no means converted all, or even most, Muslims to the Wahhabist interpretation of Islam, it has done much to overwhelm more moderate local interpretations, and to set the Saudi-interpretation of Islam as the "gold standard" of religion in Muslims' minds.
Patrick Cockburn accused Saudi Arabia of supporting extremist Islamist groups in the Syrian Civil War, writing: "In Syria, in early 2015, it supported the creation of the Army of Conquest, primarily made up of the al-Qaeda affiliate the al-Nusra Front and the ideologically similar Ahrar al-Sham, which won a series of victories against the Syrian Army in Idlib province.Some
Critics have argued that by its nature, Wahhabism encourages intolerance and promotes terrorism. Former CIA director James Woolsey described it as "the soil in which Al-Qaeda and its sister terrorist organizations are flourishing." In 2015, Sigmar Gabriel, Vice-Chancellor of Germany, accused Saudi Arabia of supporting intolerance and extremism, saying: "Wahhabi mosques are financed all over the world by Saudi Arabia. In Germany, many dangerous islamist come from these communities.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism
As I've said(wrote) earlier Saudi have no benefit or whatsoever to benefit from sponsoring bloodthirsty takfiris like al-Qaida, Nusra(an affiliate of al-qaida), ISIS/ISIL/IS and other than them. It is like inviting an assassin to cone and kill you. Visit islamagainstextremism.com takfiris.com to further clarification SAUDI ARABIA BACKS ISIS?! ABU KHADEEJAH
EXPLAINS IT
Who benefits by backing the Daesh/ISIS can be
one way to identify their backers. We know that
ISIS makes huge amount of money every day
by selling oil in to the black market. So if we
find their buyer then it wont be very difficult to
find their backers. IRAN is one of their
customers and it is foreknown that this Daesh
used to supply oil to the Assad regime in Syria.
We heard from the propaganda spin doctors

Islam › Re: The Change Nigerians Should Embrace - Change Your Heart by Amoto94(m): 11:39am On Feb 26, 2016
vedaxcool:
. . . Unless You Change What Is In Your Heart


Change is craved by every Nigerian, a change for the better. In the hearts of the young & old, the poor and the rich, the elite and the masses, Nigerians of every strata imaginable, have a burning desire that yearns for a government that does things differently from what is obtainable, that is, Nigerians demand an end to impunity, rights violations, corruption and virtually all that seems to have gone wrong in the polity. In essence Nigerians want a system in which a court does not sentence a man to 40 years imprisonment for the theft of a phone while sentencing another who steals or should I say “misappropriated” billions of Naira for just 2 years to a maximum of 5 years.

But Who?
But the question arises, who will change the country for a brighter future? The first school of thought believes in messianic change. This school of thought holds’ that the country would become a better place when it one day stumbles across a messiah sent to redeem it. Another school of thought holds to turn the course of the nation, Nigerians must reform its current institutions who would act as agents of change and in essence rectify various wrongs within the society. The third school of thought holds’ that the status quo is better; either that the status quo serves Nigeria better or that changing the course of the nation could be a very traumatic affair.

The problem of the first school of thought, is simple, relying on wishful thinking is very dangerous and imprudent. Imagine you were feeling the pangs of hunger and you happened to be a stranger in a new place with little or no friend, hiding in a room and expecting food to miraculously descend from heaven is hardly a smart thing to do. is it? While I personally believe in miracles, I do believe in applying it in the right context, which is, people resort to miracles when they have done everything humanly possible to achieve a goal but the situation remains impervious to change. It is wrong headed to resort to such thinking when little or no attempt have been made to effect change in Nigeria. Furthermore our duty before God is to be stand for what is right and just. Hence this school of thought cannot be relied upon to change Nigeria, unfortunately a lot of people subscribed to this point of view.

Moving on, the second school of thought seems to make a good case, which is, by reforming the institutions that serve Nigerians through well-articulated policies, Nigeria would undergo a tremendous change. This school of thought relies on the establishment to self-reform, but the establishment has no incentive to change. The establishment benefits from the way governance is done so why would they want to change it? An alternative is for the opposition to take charge of government through elections, while this alternative could be feasible, elections in Nigeria tend to suffer corruption and manipulation. Despite attempts towards correcting defective elections, free & fair elections remain a long dream. So the second school of thought while capable of solving the issues fail to address the very problem every Nigerian has to grapple.

The third school of thought holds that the status quo should be maintained. They generally believe that the situation in the country is alright or the status quo serves Nigeria better. But like the first school of thought, they play the role of the proverbial ostrich, ignoring a problem does not solve it rather it allows it to grow till it eventually consumes you.

The solution lies much deeper, Nigeria plethora of problems are made by Nigerians mostly self inflicted blows. Solving this problem requires recognizing the human hands creating them.

The Solution – Look Inwards
Nigeria desire change, the solution is multi-layered but it begins with accepting that change start with us. Take for example, if our leaders are ethnic jingoists it means we as a people are also ethnic jingoists – this true as it is common for Nigerians to rally round their leaders accused of corruption because he is son of the soil, tribal consideration tend to take front stage in a lot of things we do, same go for religious bigotry, corruption etc. One would be amazed that stealing of public funds by elected officials or public servant happen not because they simply dip their fingers into the pie but a multi-layered collusion between such officials, High ranking civil servants and low ranking civil servants. This indicates that when we talk of our leaders as being corrupt, we should remember there exist rotten individuals who are willing to connive with such leaders to plundered the wealth of the nation.

In the Qur’an we read in 13th sura, Sura Ar Rad verse 11 : . . . Allah does not change a people’s lot unless they change what is in their heart . . .
In essence for Nigeria to change for the better Nigerians need to change, Nigerians need to be the change they want to see. Good people produce good leaders and good leaders lead justly. It is from this pool of changed people would the right set of reforms be implemented and the quantum leap Nigerians are seeking would achieved. It is my hope that we all fulfil our own part in changing Nigeria for a more prosperous future, by rejecting all the negatives, tribalism, corruption, nepotism etc.

These articles were cut and paste articles written by modernists, Iranian agents, and others that have hatred for Saudi it will only convince people with the same mindset as the writers.

When we warned that this man is working to islamize nigeria before election, nobody took us serious until now we are seeing it with our eyes. Southwesterners are reaping the benefits of they sow.. This is just the beginning. He wants to resuscitate islamized interest free banking system.
Your heroes GEJ and NOI borrowed from IDB in the first place and Anambra was the first state to borrow from Jaiz bank. You are just plain ignorant and hate filled for my liking. We are tired of you slowpokes ranting over a Non-Issue, open your eyes and reason like an educated man with sense.

This is how its starting.. The very move to islamise out country... We saw it.. We warned you all... Yet they gave you one vp redeemed puppet and few of you swayed.. While majority chose the change that brings doom cos of your hate against ibos.

Remember Hausa ansbyoruba is ruling now.. Enjoy,make or brake the country We will see how it ends.
Wasn't Anambra the first state to borrow from Jaiz bank to fund some of her projects? Your argument is stale and learn to be an educated man with sense.
Islam › Brotherhood And Sisterhood Upon Islaam Is To Be Genuine, Not Fake by Amoto94(op): 8:23am On Feb 26, 2016
Brotherhood And Sisterhood Upon Islaam Is To Be Genuine, Not Fake The Noble Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee ( ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ) stated: It is not befitting for the Muslims that their brotherhood/sisterhood is merely speech and smiling, (when in reality) there exists between them opposition in the hearts from which the tongues speak. Rather it is obligatory that their brother/sisterhood is genuine in that which is apparent and hidden. A believing brother/sister does not harbor hatred against his believing brothers/sisters. (This is so) even if there exists between them matters of opposition in the attainment of personal or worldly affairs. Indeed these matters do not leave for an opening for him to harbor hatred against his Muslim brothers/sisters. Rather it is obligatory that he is one who is sincere in the matter of brotherhood/sisterhood and that he is truthful, in order that the hearts unite and harmonize upon the truth.

This is a good news, IMF can go to hell. As for the bigots spewing thrash your outbursts doesn't surprise me at all as we know who you all are. You all want PMB to fail as if it affects him the most.
