"...You vow to burn the country down. You order for security agents to be killed. You display a ragtag army with military fatigues. You create your own version of a state security service. You solicit for arms. You vow to halt the constitutional right of others to vote. You violate every bail condition.

All your actions are TREASONABLE yet you expect to be given a pat on the back and a sit at a sane men's table.

Pray tell, how best does one define an enemy of state?..."

You have hit the nail on the head. Some of them are turning blind eyes to all those treasonable acts of Nnamdi Kanu.

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has hinted that the Peoples Democratic Party may adopt Option A4 in the selection of its candidates for the forthcoming local government elections in the state.

He stated this in Ado-Ekiti during an interactive session with party leaders from Efon, Gbonyin and Ekiti East local government areas of the state.

According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, on Tuesday, the governor, at the meeting, warned aspirants against dropping his name for political gains.


Option A4 was made popular during the regime of the military dictator, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, where voters would queue openly behind their preferred candidates during elections.

Singapore got its first female president Wednesday, but the milestone was overshadowed by criticism that her selection was undemocratic after she was handed the job without a vote.

Halimah Yacob, a former speaker of parliament from the Muslim Malay minority, did not have to face an election for the largely ceremonial post after authorities decided her rivals did not meet eligibility criteria.

It was not the first time in the affluent city-state — which is tightly controlled and has been ruled by the same party for decades — that the government has disqualified presidential candidates, making an election unnecessary.

But there was already unease about the process as it was the first time that the presidency had been reserved for a particular race, in this case the Malay community. The decision to hand her the job without an election added to the anger.


Social media was abuzz with criticism as Halimah, a bespectacled 63-year-old who wears a headscarf, was formally announced as president-elect, with Facebook user Pat Eng writing: “Elected without an election. What a joke.”

“I will call her President Select from now on,” said Joel Kong on the networking site, while some posts were marked with the hashtag #NotMyPresident — echoing the message used by upset Americans after the election of President Donald Trump.

– ‘President for everyone’ –

Halimah was a member of parliament for the ruling People’s Action Party for nearly two decades before resigning to contest the presidency. She addressed the concerns about the selection process after being named president-elect.

“I’m a president for everyone. Although there’s no election, my commitment to serve you remains the same,” she said.

Halimah added she would “start working immediately” to bring the country together.

She also insisted her status as Singapore’s first female president was “not just tokenism”, in a speech to a cheering crowd while wearing orange, a colour supposed to symbolise unity.

“Every woman can aspire to the highest office in the land when you have the courage, determination and will to work hard,” she said.

Singapore’s head of state has limited powers, including vetoing senior official appointments. But an establishment figure has always held the role and there are rarely tensions with the government.

Authorities decided to allow only candidates from the Malay community to put themselves forward for the presidency to foster harmony in the city-state of 5.5 million people which is dominated by ethnic Chinese, and give more opportunities to minorities.

Halimah is the first Malay president of Singapore for almost five decades. The last was Yusof Ishak, president from 1965 to 1970, the first years of the city-state’s independence.

But the decision to limit candidates to one race had caused concern, including among Malays, as it was seen as positive discrimination that ran counter to the city-state’s traditional meritocratic principles.

Five people had originally put their names forward for the presidency and the government had scheduled an election for September 23.

Two were quickly eliminated as they were not Malay. The two others, Malay businessmen, were disqualified on Monday as their companies were smaller than required by strict new eligibility rules introduced last year.

Halimah automatically qualified as she has held public office. She will be inaugurated in a ceremony on Thursday.

It's a big joke. Although, it may be a good move but like CCT/Dino like this one.

She is intelligent. I thought of her origin before I opened this thread. By their root...
Congratulations

There is a difference in scholarly opinion on this, some say it is haram, others say it's makrooh (disliked) and warn of the dangers of getting certian fluids in the mouth, which are unclean once they leave the body (e.g. semen) - getting these in the mouth deliberately or through negligence would be haram!

There is no support for MouthAction in the scriptures, i.e. nothing to say that it is halal or beneficial. However on worldly matters everything is considered halal until proven haram, which is why some scholars stop short of declaring it haram (provided no unclean fluids enter the mouth!).

Regarding things that are makrooh, this is not a green light for Muslims to go and do these things. You get rewards for avoiding doing them. Some things that are makrooh, like divorce, are only allowed as a last resort when all other attempts to resolve a situation have failed. So muslims should never think "It's just makrooh and not haram, so I can do it as I see fit" because it is not like that!!!

Like I have been saying, majority of those celebs are whores.

Kwara own is becoming something else.

Thank you op, we are better informed now.

I wish him a sound and quick recovery.

Political joke took too far...

From the pictures of Oluwaseni Saraki, first and the only son cum heir apparent of Senate President Bukola Saraki. It is crystal clear that Dr Bukola Saraki is still raping the good people of Kwara politically.
This speaks volume as far as 2019 politics of Kwara is concerned.
What's your take on this, is it political scheme in the making or spiritual reality from the Sarakis who have been the age long political powerhouse of Kwara State?

What a nasty end for them? A sorrowful lives they had...
