since you're not Muslim why bother yourself .
we love it as it is.
Do the females love it? Do the poor truly love it? How many men have been so punished? How many rich men were flogged or had amputations in Zamfara? Why is Zamfara one if the worst states in Nigeria, despite Sharia?
Why are Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc so backward, while UAE, USA etc progress?
I'm sure you have heard of corruption among the Saudi royals; how many of them were flogged? What has happened to the killers of Khashosgi (hope that's the spelling) .

Essentially, religion should never be by compulsion (,not just in words but in action).
Religion is personal, do not condemn or look down on others for having a different view.

Allahu Akbar

“And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, who, when disaster strikes them, say, ‘Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.’ Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.” (Q. 2:155-157).

Here again, we see the theme of patience come up. This set of verses highlights this life is only a temporary realm, and it is supposed to contain difficulty. The true, everlasting peace is with God in the afterlife for those who spent their lives following His commands. This verse becomes especially relevant at the time of a person’s death. When hearing of someone’s passing, a Muslim responds with quoting the above verse by saying, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”

O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you.” (Holy Quran: 2, 208
“You cannot guide those you would like to but God guides those He wills. He has best knowledge of the guided.” (Holy Quran 28: 56)
Maybe the people who burned the singers family house should have had some patience. They could have allowed God to mete out his punishment on the offenders. Now, they have rendered some innocent people homeless and have succeeded in punishing the innocent along with the accused.

Every citizen deserves the best that government can provide. Security, healthcare and education are among the basic things that a serious government should provide.
This should be done regardless of the status of the citizen, whether a minister or not.

okrote4real:
Hundreds of Abuja-Kaduna train passengers, including the minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, have escaped attack by kidnappers on Sunday evening.

DAILY NIGERIAN reliably gathered that the kidnappers laid in ambush around Mando area and attempted to waylay the passengers, who arrived at Rigasa train station around 8:15pm.

Sources said no sooner the kidnappers opened fire on the vehicles than mobile policemen and soldiers arrived the scene in armoured vehicles to disperse the hoodlums.

“We were lucky the police and soldiers are nearby to come our rescue. The minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi was among the passengers. His convoy had to make a detour onto Rigasa road,” said a passenger, Musa Lawan.

When contacted, spokesman for Kaduna Police Command, Mohammed Jalige, said he would make findings and revert.

Dispersed?? What happened to pursuing, overtaking and subduing them?
Why didn't we have at least one of the helicopters shadowing them or attacking them?

Have you noticed that bad things tend to happen to those you call infidels and Muslims without discrimination?
Is it possible that God is not interested in causing the so-called infidels to become Muslims? Afterall, he's the all powerful and can do it with just a wave of his hand. He doesn't actually need humans to achieve what he wants.

https://www.nairaland.com/2620955/first-elected-mayor-enugu-hausa

Stop letting hatred make you sound foolish.
The first elected mayor of Enugu city was a hausa man.
Today is not late,you can migrate to d east and start one meaningful business or venture,recognition will come your way,we don't do quota. Respect is earned.
Problem is,your people when found in d east do only small time vulcanizer, small time tailoring,electrician etc.
The vulcanizer will hardly ever graduate to the big time tyre dealer or tire service centre with modern machines.
The tailor will hardly graduate to the big time fashion house,the electrician will never graduate to the modern motor workshop with spare parts dealership.
So,on what basis will they get the recognition?


We can only hope that such wonderful legacy laid by Enugu state and its people during the colonial era will one day be replicated in contemporary times in which we now live. One can only hope that we will not only read about it in the history books but that we will also see it happening.
Kudos to the states that are practicing this now, I hope that other states will emulate them and that whatever prevented Enugu from continuing the tradition it laid will cease to exist.
If you check the man appointed by Gov Zulum,he's probably a major stakeholder in whatever business or venture he does in that Borno state.

Unfortunately, history was removed from the secondary school curriculum. Moreover, many youths are uninterested in reading. You will soon see people who will complain about the length of your post, asking someone in a condescending tone to summarize for them.

Ladylite, I'm sorry my phone couldn't allow me to quote your post but I hope you see this.
I think you're a christian, a lover of peace. Kindly help me to attach meaning to these clear bible verses that you believe in.
John 18:36- Jesus answered: "My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be handed over to the Jews. But as it hs, my kingdom is not from this source."
Romans 12:17-21 "return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration what is fine from the viewpoint of all me. If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peacable with all men. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: "vengeance is mine; I will repay, says Jehovah...
Stop worrying about these wishful thoughts.
People that know what war is never seek for more wars. Have you seen ex-buafra soldiers asking for another war? Never.
One can only hope that people that preach these divisive tendencies never succeed and that the youths (who often are exuberant, quick to anger and usually fail to thoroughly analyse the consequences of their actions).
They think it's a religious war when it suits them. They conveniently overlook the sacking of whole villages in Zamfara and Katsina (abi, na Christians dey there?)

READING
EPHESIANS 5 [New Living Translation]

1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
3 Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.
4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
5 You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6 Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him.
7 Don’t participate in the things these people do.
8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.
11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.
12 It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.
13 But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them,
14 for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.
16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

Don't forget that for him to survive and excel as a global player in the industry, he must remain competitive.

Let us break this down:

Dangote will not sell to Nigeria in Dollars unlike if we were importing refined fuel. That is KEY. Why?

It is because Nigeria will benefit greatly from eliminating a huge daily demand for USD to import fuel. This fall in demand has a direct effect on the exchange rate which will fall as a result of a fall in demand for $. Additionally Dangote will be forced to repatriate some of his USD income from exports, which will also boost our foreign reserves. More USD in the reserves means more USD available to satisfy our daily forex bill and avoid price spikes because the CBN will be better positioned to intervene accordingly.

Now why can't Dangote just sell to us at a reduced price? It is also simple.

For Dangote to survive in the global oil industry, it means he must then be able to compete favorably with other international refineries. That would be impossible if he is subsidizing prices for specific countries, because the costs of input (crude) and processing (refining) are the same or similar to his other competitors across the world. He must therefore sell at global prices, Nigeria not excluded (do not forget he is exporting the excess refined fuel to other countries) so as to remain profitable to his investors and keep him from shutting down after a few months of operation.

Yes we are an oil producing nation, but we are not 'dashing' the crude to Dangote to process for us. He is buying it from us at global prices too, and adding value (refining) at a cost he must recover and make some profit on.

This is rather simplified but hopefully it puts things in clearer perspective.
Great analysis. It is Dangote refinery, not NNPC refinery. Besides, he's not being gifted the crude oil and he still needs to grapple with existing infrastructural decay .

This is what Nigeria needs. More and more indigenous companies manufacturing things we once imported.

I hope we will all outgrow these interethnic E-wars one day. It adds nothing to either side.

Meanwhile, the first name of major Nzeogu is Chukwuma. The facts are still on the internet, freely available.
My comment is just to correct the error I noticed. The people who championed these coups did it for certain interests. Many of them are long gone and many even forgave each other. I wonder why this generation should continue a war they are too young to understand.
