Holier than thou. . . . . you definitely know where these verses are located.



They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.



Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."

I am talking about solo albums. And collision course is not an album per se, just a mash-up of old jay and linkin park tracks. Just drop the argument.

As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. [b] When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.
You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you


If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.


Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city.

CelebritiesRe: D'banj Dropped From Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music? by baslone: 9:54pm On Jul 24, 2012
My own view shows dbanj.

Kanye is well-known for his ruthless pursuit of quality. He doesn’t accept less than 100 percent
from himself, and he certainly doesn’t from those around him. Do you feel pressure?

Tip:
I don’t feel like that because, like you said, he understands what the talent is—it’s on par with his. One thing that we all have in common, Kanye included, is that we all want to be great. We all have that drive. Kanye channels it—he’s the nucleus. But at the same time, it’s collaborative. He’s open to whatever it is. If there’s pressure, it’s just to do outstanding shit. And that’s more of a drive than a pressure.

Cudi:
Luckily, everybody has their own vision. No one is lost. A lot of artists get lost. They drop an album, and then they go fucking blank. But everybody here sees their career 10 years from now. I don’t think anybody is seeing their career year to year, like a motherfucker working check to check. Everyone has their own vision, so there’s no pressure.

John Legend:
There have been plenty of artists signed to artists’ labels that haven’t had nearly the kind of success as the head of the label. Even with G.O.O.D. Music we have artists that have done very well, and we’ve had artists that haven’t. Being attached to Kanye is only going to get you so far. You’ve still got to have the records, the talent, and the artistry to carry it on your own.

Common:
If you’re forming a business, you go get people that can do their jobs well, and you don’t have to micromanage them. Like Cudi was saying, we all have a vision of our creativity for years to come. This is going to sound crazy, but it’s something to think about—Big Sean might have been 2 years old when my first album came out.

Sean:
Yeah. My homie put me on, though.

Tip:
He wasn’t even born when my first album came out. [Laughs.] Damn.

PoliticsNigeria: Gradual Descent Into The Hades- Berom Youths Fires Rocket At Children by baslone(op): 8:25pm On Jul 22, 2012
It is shocking; it is not the news making the rounds; it is one too hard to swallow and too harsh to believe. Some would even go as far as subscribing to a “conspiracy theory” of a deliberate underplay, even blackout, of the event by the predominantly southern (and so arguably, Christianity-biased) media in Nigeria.

But brace for it, my readers: full cannibalism is afoot in the protracted and nasty Plateau War of annihilation between the so-called settlers (Fulani/Hausa and mostly Muslims) and the so-called original indigenes, the Beroms (mostly Christians) — and it is the Birom “Christians” doing the eating of the Fulani!

This scale of madness that is hard to fathom was brought to public glare (the author’s public, at least) a few days ago when my brother Femi Fani-Kayode (yes, the same ex-OBJ’s minister) posted this terse message on his Facebook wall:

“The other day, a crowd of Berom Christian youths butchered over 100 Fulani Muslims as they were praying in Jos after which they roasted and ate them. It was filmed. Today, a rocket was fired into an Islamic school in the same Jos and children were targeted for death as they were writing their exams. This barbarous descent into madness must stop. I weep for Nigeria.


It was courageous and truly fair-minded for Femi to have posted that on the Internet, for, if there was a fiercely loyal (and vociferously so) Christian, there goes one in Femi and he has been known to be damning, even perhaps partially so, of the Muslim Hausa/Fulani in this ongoing war and in general. So, it deserves commendation to find him spearheading the drawing of public attention to the “other side” of the vicious campaign, for most of what we’ve largely known and believed is that only the Muslim Hausa/Fulani settlers have been doing the aggression!

Most of what is known and believed down south is of armies of “Fulani herdsmen” spilling down from mountain tops like mountain gorillas, armed with sophisticated guns (rather than bows and arrows) and sacking whole villages of Berom indigenes, killing children, women and all indiscriminately and mercilessly.


Hence Fani-Kayode’s posting was a shocking experience for me and for many of his FB “friends” drawing all manner of responses: from disbelief and shock to repulsion and anger.

I settled down to read the whole exchanges on the thread and went further to check the links (http://newsrescue.com/birom-christians-eat-roasted-flesh-of-muslims-they-killed-in-jos-nigeria/#axzz20szqpZS5) provided in validation of the charge. It is gory and chilling and not for the faint-hearted.

Lo and behold, as far back as August last year, the BBC had posted vivid images on one of its news websites showing large crowd of (Berom) youths wildly jubilating at the killing of a large number of “the enemy settlers” and roasting and feasting on their bodies to boot.


More disconcerting was the visible presence of a “law-enforcement” patrol vehicle in observance of it all!

The Jos Plateau sectarian war is truly bloody and muddied. The truth of how, when, and why it started is long lost in the hate-filled war of mutual annihilation; poverty driven economic consideration (of settler/indigene) muddied and combusted by religious identities (Islam/Christianity) of the warring parties.

What is going on in the once friendly and tourist-haven Jos Plateau is as gruesome, if not more so, as the horrors in the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War! I cannot remember if our senses then were accosted with images of bodies of those felled by the bullets on either side being feasted upon, even common as the ‘myth’ was then that in some parts of the country, human flesh was a palatable delicacy!

What I remember was that those of us away from the theatre of war, ensconced in far away Lagos and Kano, carried on with our lives, partying and nightclubbing, consigning the war to almost fable grade – well, in Lagos, until the ‘Biafran’ bomb fell on the Casino Cinema in our good old quiet Yaba environs. Then, and only then, did we wake up in Lagos to the reality, that, indeed, a war was going on and we all could go down with it.

Right now, as I write, whole communities have been asked to move out of their homes and localities by the Special Task Force that the Federal Government set up to intervene and restore order. Little is known of the arrangements for their relocation. But move they must, as the STF intends to mow down any moving object for fear of infiltration of the dreaded Boko Haram that has been associated with the last horrendous massacre of hundreds of Berom folks by so-called Fulani herdsmen.

A release during the week purportedly signed by Captain Salisu Mustapha, Media Information Officer of the STF, states:

“This is to inform the people residing in Barikin Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas that a military operation is ongoing in the area. The inhabitants of Mahanga, Kakuruk, Kuzen, Maseh and Shong 2 are to evacuate immediately with their property within the next 48 hours.”

Of course, anything that can help clear the Plateau mess is welcome, but the forceful dislodgement of whole communities without adequate contingencies in search of “infiltrators” that have equally been alerted seem absurd and devoid of human feelings for the affected communities, to say the least.

But back to Femi Fani-Kayode’s FB wall and the exchanges, FFK added this touching invocation:

“To those that doubt the authenticity of this video tape, I really do feel sorry for you. Those are, indeed, Berom Christian youths and they are, indeed, eating the flesh of Fulani Muslims that they had earlier slain on the prayer ground during the Eid festival. I happen to have met the families of three of the victims and it is painful that the Nigerian media kept this atrocity so quiet. There was a media blackout on the event.


“Had it been the other way round and it was the Muslims that had killed and eaten the Christians, we would all have been lamenting and hurling insults against them on this wall and it would have been the headline of every major newspaper in our country and in the world. These double standards must stop. Please, I appeal to you that we must be more sensitive, balanced and fair…”

And nothing affirms the truth of the cannibalism insanity more than the posting of one Adam A. B. Galla, who must be someone on ground in the ‘war front.’ He says:

“My brother FFK, thanks for showing fairness on your postings in the ongoing saga on the Plateau. I visited the very school a few hours ago, guarded by 10 soldiers. Miraculously, none of the students was affected. The only victim happened to be a little kid playing with his bike by the school. Keep us in prayers and may this carnage come to a stop…”

And in another by him:

“The flesh eaters were real. I have the most difficult constituency in Nigeria. I work with these guys and it’s challenging. They have been indoctrinated with certain beliefs and it’s my job to prove otherwise. I am a suspect every day, but my sincerity to them is what keeps the relationship. As long as you respect them, respect their rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, you are okay with them…”


What is going on in the Jos Plateau zone is too saddening for words. The scale and intensity of hatred is unthinkable and the resort to cannibalism makes me wonder if there can ever be a peaceful resolution of the crisis. You cannot descend to the level of eating your fellow “neighbours” one day and return to being “friends” or even neighbours the next.

And so, with that realism, whither Nigeria?

The Fulani people are ascetic, kind and generous BUT Never fight a war (hot

1. No rules of engagement(they just hit again and again)

2. No POW's (they don't take prisoners)

3. No mercy (once they pick you out as the enemy)

4. No fighting fatigue (they are forever fit and prepared, due to their lifestyle)

5. No need for adequate provisions &permanent abode (they live on very little and sleep in the wilderness)

6. No end to hostilities (they fight to finish)

7. No ignorance of terrain and location ( their lifestyle makes everyone of them a human GPS )

8. No deterrence due to casualties (they are strategically distributed all over West and Central Africa, and highly mobile)

9. No need for tranquility (they have no permanent settlements which need peace to thrive)

10. No fear of consequences !
