The embarrassing reality was that slavery in Nigeria underwent a ‘slow death’, to use the opportune term of Hogendorn and Lovejoy (1993). Although Lugard’s pronouncements in the early post-conquest period seemed to suggest it would no longer be tolerated, it was evidently difficult to simply halt the process in northern Nigeria in view of how deeply it was embedded (Ubah 1991). Moreover, and this is part of the ambiguity of the colonial attitude, it was necessary to keep traditional rulers on board as part of a longer term strategy to counter real or imagined radicalism. Klein (1998) records similar problematic attitudes in the Francophone regions of West Africa. Even relative liberals such as Temple (1918) argued that the system of domestic slavery should not be summarily dismantled. Slaves whose original ethnic identity had been abolished were still working within the Hausa system in the first quarter of the twentieth century (Figure 10). A decree finally abolishing slavery was only promulgated in 1936, although by this time, almost all those former slaves who maintained an ethnic identity had left for their home area (Olusanya 1966).

In the moments before he raped the 12-year-old girl, the Islamic State fighter took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin. Because the preteen girl practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it, he insisted.

He bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her.

When it was over, he knelt to pray again, bookending the rape with acts of religious devotion.

“I kept telling him it hurts — please stop,” said the girl, whose body is so small an adult could circle her waist with two hands. “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God,” she said in an interview alongside her family in a refugee camp here, to which she escaped after 11 months of captivity.

Just questions? Can Mr. President be probed and prosecuted when caught trading illegally with the fortunes of this country? Who gave VISA to the Lebanese ISIS man? When will the person be arrested and beheaded ISIS style? We need to see published in Nigerian Media, the Judgement record and the photographs of all the bokoharams shot by firing squads a few days ago in Chad.

Silly speech, nonsense coup. We know why you guys came to power: to chop...to loot...and to destroy! You guys truly wrecked this country.

And right now, after thirty years of crass misrule, the man you removed is back in power to clean up your mess!

I took a moment to imagine the state of mind of the OP while writing these lamentations and it occurred to me that the Igbos are really hurting.

What makes the situation worse is that chestbeating seems to be their only coping mechanism, which unfortunately worsens the situation because it erodes their relationship with others, one of the key causative elements of their present quagmire.

P.S. I will not even open my mentions so don't bother.

Oga abeg keep shut.

CERN is not a secret thing and has been positing and doing research into other forms of waves. Deeper research into forms of matter and what we call the God's particle, Also they have been known to discover what we know as the anti matter- something that doesn't have weight, dimension and doesn't occupy space but definitely exists. They are also into deeper research into dark matter.

They just did a research defining a basic headway into non standard physics.


So, we know a little about the world and is just unraveling it doesn't mean the world is going to end.

CERN is not looking for any Ladder to even or whatever. it is you conspiracy theorist that are laying such propaganda.


Here is a link to the original article...and commentary.


http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1425.htm


This "leak" is a professional Stratfor analyst being duped by a Sorcha Faal article. They use this Russian general schtick all the time, so I figured I would look it up. Sure enough, they wrote the original.


For those not familiar with them, Sorcha Faal is a group that writes fake conspiracy articles for entertainment, which regularly get picked up by smaller news publications and conspiracy theorists. They link to large amounts of articles on related topics to create an illusion of being backed by sources. Once you learn how to recognize their patterns, however, their work becomes easy to spot.
Their website makes it pretty clear that they do not intend for their work to be taken as fact.

From whatdoesitmean.com:
“Conspiracy theorists concentrate their time on transmuting the "base matter" of current events, official stories, propaganda and public relations into the gleaming golden truth buried within. They do this through the very right-brained activity of uncovering and inventing connections between disparate elements.


They create story-systems to understand and explain events - essentially a religious activity. For whatever reason, it’s much easier for us to deal with our internal contents by projecting them into the world around us. These outward signs inevitably become carriers of the archetypal content and psychodrama latent in the seeker.


Conspiracy theory also overcomes the strictures of literalism and the problems of simplistic thinking by experimenting with multiplicity of meaning. Ordinary events, people and signs become symbols bristling with complex, malleable, even contradictory meanings. Mystery is revived and idealized. Facts become more than the sum of their parts. Theory becomes poetry and even theology.”

However, many websites repost these stories without crediting the source, which leads to issues like the one this dumb op is posting.

This is an interesting link I found on this Aden ish.

Too many theories out there. But one thing is sure, something extraordinary is actually happening there.

BishopMagic:
There are two flags in Islam;

The flag of Peace which represents the Islamic state in peace and the flag of Jihad which represents the Islamic state in war.

This may seem irrelevant to most of you but the black flag of Jihad now flies tall over the palace of the Kano emirate and can be seen dotted round the city on the domes of mosques and Madrasses.

https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/a9/bb/91/outside-the-gates-to.jpg
Why is northern Nigeria especially Kano flying the flag of Jihad?

Remember this same black flag with Arabic inscription is what groups like Boko Haram, Al Shabaab and ISIL adopted as their symbolic colors.
