Underground: Thank you O jare! It is senators such as Rand Paul, Justin Amash and co that are the sensible ones. They are the ones that choose peace over war, conversation over confrontation and common sense over nonsense. Others such as McCain and Graham are obviously pawns of the Military Industrial Complex and Mega Corporations that have an insatiable appetite of wars even if America falls under no threat and even if such wars is to the detriment of their economy; but they do not care cos their pockets are getting lined.

Here, outgoing US president, in his farewell speech, foresaw the dangers that the Military Industrial Complex presented and found it needful to warn the American people.

....

And for those of you that fail to see and haven't been studying this Syria crisis for a while, Obama really isn't in favour of a strike on Syria. The Israelis, the so-called opposition, the Saudis, have all voiced their frustrating with how he has dragged his feet with regards to dealing with Syria and Iran. But of course, he as president is really just a figure head and cannot possibly hold out for long. His true masters: the Israel Lobby, the Military Industrial Complex, Banksters and Corporations would see to it that their agenda is fulfilled.....

By the way, if you think war isn't profitable, look no further than how Raytheon's share price spiked on the day the US announced plans to attack Syria.


War Is a Racket - retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two time Medal of Honor recipient Smedley D. Butler.

Obama is showing a willingness to open some diplomatic space for Assad, the Russians, and the US government to maneuver, and the Russian proposal has at least reset the options for answering the Syrian use of chemical weapons. There is a chance to turn a unilateral strike into an international solution if political leaders can move carefully and thoughtfully in the coming days.

however, Political "regime change" without social-economic development, working to end destitution poverty, means little for the people. Gandhi once said that poverty is the greatest violence and the source of violence. Until we have put in place a system to confront these issues globally, history will continue over and over again to prove Gandhi right

Bryancrox: cause dey where all born in General hospital

lol...you need to consider a career in comedy. Honest advice

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul delivered these remarks after Obama concluded in response to Obama's speech. The text was provided by his office.

Twelve years after we were attacked by al-Qaida, 12 years after 3,000 Americans were killed by al-Qaida, President Obama now asks us to be allies with al-Qaida.
Americans by a large majority want nothing to do with the Syrian civil war. We fail to see a national security interest in a war between a leader who gasses his own citizens and Islamic rebels who are killing Christians.
Some argue that American credibility is on the line, that because President Obama drew a red line with chemical weapons, America must act or lose credibility. I would argue that America's credibility does not reside in one man.
If our enemies wish to know if America will defend herself, let them look no farther than our response to 9/11. When attacked, we responded with overwhelming force and with the military objective of complete victory over our attackers.
The Reagan Doctrine grew out of his experience in the Middle East. Reagan's defense secretary spelled out a systematic approach to our involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts. First, the American people must be supportive - overwhelmingly supportive - but most importantly our mission must be to win.
There is no clearly defined mission in Syria, no clearly defined American interest. In fact, the Obama Administration has specifically stated that "no military solution" exists. They have said the war will be "unbelievably small and limited."
To me that sounds like they are pre-announcing that the military strikes will not punish Assad personally or effect regime change.
It is said that America must act to prevent Assad from using chemical weapons again. But it is unknown whether attacking Assad encourages him or discourages him. It is equally likely that Assad could feel cornered and resort to chemical weapons in an expanded fashion.
It is equally likely that the bombing could de-stabilize Assad and he could lose control of the chemical weapons. The Obama Administration has indicated that it would take 75,000 ground troops to secure the weapons and that they are prepared to do just that despite the resolution's admonition against ground troops.
The question must be asked, "Would a U.S. bombing campaign make it more or less likely that Assad loses control of the chemical weapons?"
The same question can be asked of a series of bad outcomes. "Would a US bombing campaign make it more or less likely that Assad attacks Israel with chemical weapons?"
Would a bombing campaign make it more or less likely that refugees stream into Jordan? Just the threat of bombing has increased the flow of refugees.
Would a bombing campaign in Syria make the region more or less stable? Would it make it more or less likely that Iran or Russia becomes more involved?
Just about any bad outcome you can imagine is made more likely by U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war.
In the past 24 hours, Russia has offered to broker a deal with Syria to have their chemical weapons put under international control. Diplomacy, if sincere, would be a welcome resolution. The Syrian foreign minister has indicated an interest in the proposal.
Can we trust the participants in this plan?
Diplomacy is always a mixture of trust, distrust, and watchfulness. We should not be naïve, and we should have a solid plan and safeguards in place as part of any solution.
As Reagan put it we must "trust, but verify."
Some will say that only the threat of force brought Russia and Syria to the negotiating table. In fact, Russian has been negotiating with the US for over a year to find a peaceful resolution to the Syrian civil war.
The possibility of a diplomatic solution is a good thing, though we must proceed with caution on the details.
But one thing is for certain, the chance for diplomacy would not have occurred without strong voices against an immediate bombing campaign. If we had simply gone to war last week or the week before, as many advocated, we wouldn't be looking at a possible solution today.
The voices of those in Congress and the overwhelming number of Americans who stood up and said "slow down" allowed this possible solution to take shape.
Will diplomacy win the day? No one can tell for certain. But on a broader issue, it is an important day, though, in the sense that a President recognized his Constitutional duty and came to seek Congressional authority for war.
If the vote occurs, I will vote no and encourage my colleagues to vote no as well. The President has not made a compelling case that American interests are at risk in Syria. The threshold for war should be a significant one.
The President maintains that he still has the power to initiate war. This is untrue. The Constitution gave the power to declare war to Congress. James Madison wrote that the "Constitution supposes, what history demonstrates, that the executive is the branch most prone to war. Therefore the Constitution, with studied care, vested the power to declare war in the legislature."
This is no small question. I see the vote on whether to go to war in very personal terms. I will not vote to send my son, your son, or anyone's daughter to war unless a compelling American interest is present. I am not convinced that we have a compelling interest in the Syrian civil war.
May God help us make the wise decision here and avoid an unnecessary war.

Putin's initiative is a comfortable exit internationally, however, at home its a different story. Stakeholders will get more belligerent and adamant on pushing the boundaries and the rebels to test Assad. Expect daring provocations from the rebels going forward.[/quote]The new White House posture will put Vladimir Putin in the driver's seat, even as Obama struggles to maintain a position of global strength


earlier this morning Sen. Rand Paul alleged in a rebuttal speech that by threatening war with Syria, Obama had positioned the U.S. to support Bashar al-Assad's opposition, which includes al-Qaeda

[quote author=Mayor_of_Lagos]When this started two years ago, it was cheered by America, it was called Arab Spring.

America's moral conscience should have risen to the situation then and they intervene to mediate an agreeable outcome, long before a peaceful protest escalated to what is now a full blown civil war. America has championed the Middle East Peace Process for decades. This confrontation could have been adopted into the process on an expanded policy.

Errors were committed from the outset and the American foreign policy in ME has become victim of a miscalculated forecast. America should find a face saving exit and scale down on its ME rhetorics.[/quote]You nailed it bro. Russia has become the laudable voice of reason. Obama telling us that he has told the congress to postpone votes on air strike is hiding under the guise of Russian moves. America will dare not strike Syria when England and France is not behind them. the aftermath will be catastrophic. and this they know. Its even worse for America when Germany, Russia, Japan, China and Iran are in one block. Syria is a no go area for America till further notice.

Good evening --

Over the past two years, what began as a series of peaceful protests against the repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned into a brutal civil war in Syria. Over 100,000 people have been killed.
In that time, we have worked with friends and allies to provide humanitarian support for the Syrian people, to help the moderate opposition within Syria, and to shape a political settlement. But we have resisted calls for military action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force.
The situation profoundly changed in the early hours of August 21, when more than 1,000 Syrians -- including hundreds of children -- were killed by chemical weapons launched by the Assad government.
What happened to those people -- to those children -- is not only a violation of international law -- it's also a danger to our security. Here's why:
If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons. As the ban against these deadly weapons erodes, other tyrants and authoritarian regimes will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gases and using them. Over time, our troops could face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield. It could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons and use them to attack civilians. If fighting spills beyond Syria's borders, these weapons could threaten our allies in the region.
So after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regime's ability to use them, and make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use.
Though I possess the authority to order these strikes, in the absence of a direct threat to our security I believe that Congress should consider my decision to act. Our democracy is stronger when the President acts with the support of Congress -- and when Americans stand together as one people.
Over the last few days, as this debate unfolds, we've already begun to see signs that the credible threat of U.S. military action may produce a diplomatic breakthrough. The Russian government has indicated a willingness to join with the international community in pushing Assad to give up his chemical weapons and the Assad regime has now admitted that it has these weapons, and even said they'd join the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits their use.
It's too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments. But this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force.
That's why I've asked the leaders of Congress to postpone a vote to authorize the use of force while we pursue this diplomatic path. I'm sending Secretary of State John Kerry to meet his Russian counterpart on Thursday, and I will continue my own discussions with President Putin. At the same time, we'll work with two of our closest allies -- France and the United Kingdom -- to put forward a resolution at the U.N. Security Council requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons, and to ultimately destroy them under international control.
Meanwhile, I've ordered our military to maintain their current posture to keep the pressure on Assad, and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails. And tonight, I give thanks again to our military and their families for their incredible strength and sacrifices.
As we continue this debate -- in Washington, and across the country -- I need your help to make sure that everyone understands the factors at play.
Please share this message with others to make sure they know where I stand, and how they can stay up to date on this situation. Anyone can find the latest information about the situation in Syria, including video of tonight's address, here:
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

In my opinion, the best way for Atiku to respond to this is o travel to U.S and return safely. If he can't then, i give twale to OBJ.

why is this lady shamelessly looking for cheap popularity from Bianca and Fani-Kayode's Saga. Or are you being paid to do all these?

Her outfit indicates that she is working in a corporate setting,simple and adorable. probably not with the father....i duf my hart for her. not the money miss road we see arround.

Nigerians are aware. we simply prefer to live in Denial

Truth is heavy and only few hearts can carry it....Mark my words...Jonathan is coming out 2015 and he will win. Note today in your diary and remind me in April 2015.

@op, nice piece

i had always known it has been about vested interests...i also know that Iran has long been under U.S raider and striking Syria makes it closer. Iran's influence in Uranium and oil market is a threat to U.S. hence, all these wahala

the big question is do the both sides really deserve our support?

Here are the four big reasons that Russia wants to protect Assad, the importance of which vary depending on whom you ask, but all of which are probably worth much more to Putin than anything Obama might offer or threaten:

1. Russia has a naval installation in Syria, which is strategically important and Russia’s last foreign military base outside the former Soviet Union.

2. Russia still has a bit of a Cold War mentality, as well as a touch of national insecurity, which makes it care very much about maintaining one of its last military alliances.

3. Russia also hates the idea of “international intervention” against countries like Syria because it sees this as Cold War-style Western imperialism and ultimately a threat to Russia.

4. Syria buys a lot of Russian military exports, and Russia needs the money.

With the exception of the fourth, you might notice that all of these have something to do with the Cold War, which still very much influences Russia’s view of itself, its place in the world and its relationship with the dreaded West. To paraphrase Faulkner, the past is never dead in foreign affairs. It isn’t even past.

so what is the senegalese president doing there in the meeting..if this your list is anything to go by.

Political observers are fully aware that Tukur is not a politician.He is a business man.He represents all the troubles bedeviling PDP. However, Jonathan must also understand that Tukur is Loyal to him and the North has to remove him to achieve their 2015 agenda...I am watchin in HD to see how it plays out

Both of them.....I will not at this age seat under a pastor I will not listen to...however, I will weigh every word from my pastor by the word.

Western military intervention in Syria without a political plan for lasting peace is folly. over the years, interventions from the world powers have never left any country better. The list is endless..Iraq, Afganistan, Libya etc.

This morning, The Russian president asserted that if the Atomic facility in syria is struck and it diffuses into Europe. How do we control it.? America is too far away from Europe and so Europeans should be more careful not to go into war. The effect of a chemical release will travel into Europe. America is too far to be affected. Europe should think.

UK citizens are jubilating that they are not going for the war. You cant be better than those you rule

Vladimir Putin yesterday issued a thinly-veiled threat to arm Iran with missile defences if the West attacks Syria.
The Russian leader said Moscow had provided elements of the S-300 military technology to Syria but had frozen further shipments, suggesting they could be routed elsewhere.
That was widely seen as a threat to revive a contract for delivery of the S-300s to Iran, which Russia cancelled several years ago under strong US and Israeli pressure.
Warning the West: Putin sought to downplay the current chill in the U.S.-Russian relations and said that the two countries need to cooperate on a range of issues in the interests of global stability

Assisting the enemy: The U.S. says Russia has provided military support to Assad that has allowed him to cling to power during Syria's roughly 2-year-long civil war
Mr Putin’s intervention came ahead of a G20 summit he is hosting today in St Petersburg, in which he is expected to hold a difficult one-to-one meeting with David Cameron.
The S-300 system, which targets aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, would make military attempts to stop Iran building a nuclear bomb all but impossible without a ground invasion.

Syria’s deputy foreign minister, Faisal Muqdad, said it would take ‘every measure’ if hit by a US-led military strike and would never give in, even if it led to ‘World War Three’.

But Mr Cameron told MPs there was a risk of a ‘Armageddon’ for the people of Syria if the use of chemical weapons went unpunished.
He suggested Labour and other opponents of military action were ‘letting down’ the people of Syria.

Mr Putin suggested he might back intervention in the UN Security Council if it was proved ‘beyond doubt’ that President Assad ordered a gas attack that killed 1,500 people, including hundreds of children, last month.

But diplomatic sources said that despite ‘overwhelming’ evidence against Assad, Russia was considering publishing a dossier seeking to blame rebel forces trying to topple the regime for the attack.
Mr Putin said it was ‘too early’ to talk about what Russia would do if the US attacked Syria without UN backing, adding: ‘We have our ideas about what we will do and how we will do it in case the situation develops toward the use of force or otherwise. We have our plans.’

The Russian leader called the S-300 air defence missile system ‘a very efficient weapon’ and said Russia had a contract for its delivery to Syria.

‘We have supplied some of the components, but the delivery hasn’t been completed,’ he said. ‘We have suspended it for now.
‘But if we see that steps are taken that violate the existing international norms, we shall think how we should act in the future, in particular regarding supplies of such sensitive weapons to certain regions of the world.’
In another significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Russia dispatched a large missile cruiser to the Mediterranean.

The cruiser, Moskva, will be joined by a destroyer from Russia’s Baltic fleet and a frigate from the Black Sea fleet, tasked with ‘protecting national interests’.
Mr Cameron insisted it would be ‘very perilous’ for the US to follow Britain’s example and step back from plans to hit Damascus in response to chemical weapons attacks, but he again told MPs that Britain will not take part in military action following last week’s Commons vote.

I’m not in support of Pastors living reckless lives, but before we crucify Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, I want us to know that no one, and I repeat, no one is above sexual fall. As I tell my friends in
church, ‘konji’ is not a respecter of anointing… Sex does not respect speaking in tongues, it has a power of its own.

Sir,
It is with a very sad and heavy heart I write you this letter. I have observed quietly this fracas that has erupted and has soiled your name. I must admit, Sir, that I’m a big fan of yours; I so much enjoy every of your ministrations. Though I’ve never attended any branch of COZA, I regularly follow your teachings online through tweets from the COZA handle.

Sir, so many people have condemned you and passed judgment; others have questioned the annointing and call of God on your life. My question to them is whether they were there when you received God’s call.

So many do not understand that there’s a special grace that is on the lives of Christian ministers. King David in the Bible was a notorious rake, a consistent sinner; yet he was still so much loved by God. So many of them feel they understand how things work. But they do not. I have come to realize that there’s a special grace ministers have, so when they flop, its best to leave them to God. I know so many intelligent men would disagree with this line of thought, but I’ve also learnt that God works in mysterious ways, and we can’t question his actions…and also we can’t use the intelligence of this earth to understand the things of the Spirit.

My pastor, I totally understand how you feel. This period must really be a trying one for you. I am also a Christian Minister, and I can fully comprehend the gravity of this issue. I know so many people have attacked you on this issue. They fail to understand that being a Pastor doesn’t make you less human. We fail to understand that being a Pastor or Man of God doesn’t mean that one is above sexual urges.

I once prayed a very funny prayer. I asked God to stop creating beautiful ladies. I wanted more ugly females around, as this would help reduce my attraction to them. If only they can realize that pastors have more sexual temptations than any other person…if only they can realize that ministers are more exposed to very pretty ladies, who are sometimes ready to do anything with the man of God. Even the Bible says that seven virgins will run after a man…talk less of a fire branded Man of God.

If you still doubt me on the issue of ladies’ attraction to men of God, let me take you on a journey to the days of Jesus Christ. We can remember the story of the woman who poured an expensive perfume on the feet of Jesus and used her hair to clean it. Do we just think that the whole process was so holy, maybe Jesus was even speaking in tongues as she carried on…imagine a very pretty lady using her hair to clean your feet. One thing we must note is that Jesus was in human form as at that time and had a woman adoring him in that way; I’ll leave the rest of the story to your imagination.

My pastor, I don’t want this to bring your spirit man down, most times people think our pastors are very perfect creatures, whose lives are without sin and temptation. They expect them to live above sin, forgetting that they are still made of flesh and blood and can fall at any time..except for the power of the Holy Spirit.

I’m not in support of pastors living reckless lives, but before we crucify Pastor Biodun, I want us to know that no one, and I repeat, no one is above sexual fall. As I tell my friends in church, konji is not a respecter of anointing. We live by grace and not by strength or spiritual achievement. Sex does not respect speaking in tongues, it has a power of its own.

Lest we forget, the race is not for the swift nor for the strong, but for those who God shows mercy.

Now, Pastor Biodun…we need to hear something re-assuring from you.
We don’t need you to tell us that you never had anything to do with that girl…if it’s not true. We want the whole truth from you..sir. We want you to come clean…and with a promise to try preventing it from happening. In a country as corrupt as ours, where people we respect lie and do evil and feel good about it, it would do your image a whole lot of good to come out and come clean. So many of us will respect you the more.

Sir, you see the beauty of God’s mercy is that it is abundant for us. The Bible says that we should come boldly to the throne of grace and obtain mercy. Sir, I’m sure you can remember the first fall of man. Adam and Eve truly disappointed God, it was so painful that the people He so much loved, created with His hands, gave every good thing to could repay Him with such sin…but what most of us Christians don’t see there is that even after the fall, God CLOTHED them. He made clothes from the skins of an animal and covered their shame.

Sir, you might be disgraced, but never forget that God will cover your unclothedness and set your feet on high.
God bless you sir.

danny301: Third degree is supposed to be PhD (Doctorate) which i know is more research , so if i may ask, how comes you have to be going to Zaria every weekend?..... Am just curious....

There is no law that says you cant have the number of degrees you want. i dont like PH.D...I will only value that if i had plans for lecturing...the target is 5 degrees before 40...two in Naija 2 outside. i invite you to the world of studies.

[quote author=MARSHALL MVP]You hypocrite, you just bit the finger that fed you.. Next time appreciate..

Hey, i pity your brain. How did you feed me if i may ask. i schooled in the North and paid my fees. As a matter of fact i paid few schools fees for few indigent northerners during my time. I actually fed your people not the other way. You and your people are the problem of Nigeria with your born to rule mentality. You only succeeded in military era. Its now ten over ten.

For your info, I just got a form for my 3rd degree in ABU and not you nor your entire generation can stop me from gaining admission...and any mallam that stands on my way every weekend to zaria will be crushed.ewu ausa

It will be the greatest undoing of the Jonathan supporters to understimate the Northern political gladiators.
The are very good in grassroot politics and mad spenders of Arab money...Their believe is that whatever money can not buy violence can get it or rather spoil it.

During my undergraduate days in the north, i did a lot with them in SUG and saw raw money politics and permutations..

Mark my words and remind me. The koko of the whole wahala going on in PDP is that Jonathan must not return in 2015.

There are 3 options the north will adopt.
1. Play money politics in 2015
2. military coup
3. Assasinate mr President

whatever means necessary the North will play the game and it wont be easy for mr president if he is not firm and assertive. The PDP faction that has gone rogue is calculated to weaken the main PDP from now till 2014 and then breakaway in mass exodus.

For many Nigerians there is more to what meet the eyez in our national politics. I am watching in HD and gathering money for 2015. The more money you have the less scared you will be for 2015.

Nigeria’s multi-talented musician, Don Jazzy, has emerged the richest musician in the country, according to a rating of top 10 musicians in Africa done by Forbes, a leading source for reliable business news and financial information.


The list of the top 10 most bankable/richest artistes in Africa however put Jazzy at number two, coming behind Senegalese R&B crooner, Akon.


Trailing Jazzy as the third richest musician in African, and the second in Nigeria, is the twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, popularly known as P Square.
