I read up on the cause prior and also observed like you stated the social media spread of hate and bigotry that led up to this incident.
I used the wrong word “assimilate” because I really don’t expect a Muslim or Christian to dilute their faith because of where they live.
Tolerate is truly the right word and for the life of me I can’t understand why people find it so hard to tolerate people whose ways of life are different from theirs .
Especially when they are in the west where they have the freedom to be who they want to be. Why can’t they just be that thing they want and leave other people the fvck alone.
Let me step into the convo here. You made some valid points there but let me bring in some more CLARITY to this.
First off, I'm NOT a Muslim but as a well-read and well-traveled man with a love for multicultural experiences, I can say that MOST predominant Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, Somali, North African Arab and Arabian Peninsula Muslim immigrant communities in the UK, United States, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, etc, can NEVER fully integrate because they originally come from largely traditional societies. Their children and grandchildren born in the Diaspora communities end up acquiring STRONG British, French, Spanish or American accents but they remain LARGELY moulded by the conservative Islamic ideals of their parents and grandparents. Islam is a total way of life and culture for them, so, there can be NO full assimilation. Islamic ideals and Western Judeo-Christian and secular ideals don't mix but can ONLY tolerate one another.
Second, the UK protests and subsequent arsons and lootings were most unfortunate and we're fueled by the spread of FAKE news on social media which FALSELY indicated that the 17-year-old boy who stabbed some younger kids to death in a salsa dance class is a Muslim immigrant. The identity of the boy wasn't released by the UK police because he is classified as a minor, but this fueled the rumors by right English wing groups online until things escalated into hooded White British gangs violently protesting, burning some mosques, other properties and looting stores.
It turns out down the road that the 17-year-old boy by the name Axel Rudakubana who stabbed those 3 girls to death and injured others is a British-born teen with biological parents from Rwanda and he isn't even a Muslim or from a Muslim family! The spread of FAKE news on social media by right wing elements most of whom belong to members of the "English Defence League" is largely responsible for that misinformation. I have a former high school buddy who graduated years back from a top University in London (his father is Nigerian of Yoruba descent and mother is White English) who is a member of the English Defence League as well. So, the organization is welcoming of those with mixed English ancestries like my friend, but it could also suggest with evidence now pointing to them that some members have more radical ideologies.
The UK government and police authorities have to move in very quickly to ensure that stricter social media laws are put in place to ensure that the owners of all the social media platforms monitor those who spread hate speech and disinformation. Mosques burned by the hooded mob in different cities must be rebuilt and hopefully those whose stores were looted by the hooded mob have some form of insurance cover.
In the weeks (starting in late July 2024) leading right up to the so-called August 1, 2024 economic protests in Nigeria, I noticed strong upticks online in the spread of FAKE news on social media and then after the protests, arsons, and lootings of private businesses and stores belonging to business owners occured especially in the far North of Nigeria, and these were also being fueled by highly toxic, inciting FAKE news reports and videos on social media platforms including NL which are meant to fuel these tensions. During the lead up to Presidential elections and protests such as BLM in the United States as well, these hate speeches and subsequent violent tensions are fueled LARGELY by FAKE news driven by social media. So, it's very important for all governments around the world to IMMEDIATELY crack the whip and bring the activities of these social media platforms and their owners under stricter CONTROL. If NOT done, "the 3rd World War would inevitably be triggered by online FAKE NEWS" as CLEARLY stated by the iconic Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka during a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conference in Lagos a few years ago on the dangerous effects of fake news online.
Perseverance127: What is it with African women and hair braiding? something I can't decipher. I prefer the hair relaxed, then dried in a hair dryer. Simple, natural and beautiful.
Your collective brain cells are not even enough to light a dim bulb
But you feel like can talk about women negatively
Danmisra: You are mostly correct, except that women have rights in Islam. Women are protected in Islam beside given rights, this is what you are mistaken ,it's protection not lack-of-right.
Naturally women are not created to be lead men, because of their natural deficiencies
DigitB: The worst mistake is allowing them to vote during elections.
And 20 of them will expect money? At this point I’m wondering if they’re thinking at all
MemoriesAndMe: Have you ever traveled out of Nigeria before? If you have and you have returned to Nigeria from your trip, you'll understand the guy did the right thing.
Of all the airports I've been to around the world, Nigerian airports are the most frustrating ones. Everyone there is a beggar. Even to use the toilets there, there's someone waiting there to beg. The immigration officers I've ran into, including NDLEA officials will sometimes be up to 20, each of them demanding for money as of they don't get paid their salaries.
I'll record as many of them as possible and post them all on social media. Let them all be replaced by vibrant youths with respect for their jobs and their nation's respect.
You just can't be begging for money from every time, dick and harry because you're working at the airport. It's annoying.
They probably feel like if you’re traveling and they’re stuck at their desk, then you owe them something for that. Just evil
Bitterkola100: it's sickening, it's not possible for me to give you any money if you ask me at the airport no matter who you are. I only willingly give you if i like your service.
These bastards almost made my guy missed his flight when he was going to Phillipines for study in 2017, just because they noticed his passport is virgin, come see adult crying and begging for public yet these demons were not moved, we had to involve someone at the benin city immigration service at ramat park by phone before they let the guy go.
That’s even worse because they’ll make you feel guilty for not tipping after they “helped” you.
We are unique sha. A unique set of people
Although I wanted to go alone to Morocco last year and my sister in law talked me out of it. Said it’s a million times worse there and in Egypt. Two places worse than Nigeria in hustlers hustling tourists. So maybe we’re not that bad 🤣
pocohantas: Hahahaha! They hold on to it like courtesy. More of, let me help you unroll it. I move about with wipes, so I don't pay them any mind. Next they are pointing you to the hand-dryer. They just try to be useful as a way of softening your heart before they strike. That time you are drying you hand in preparation to pick your handbag from the slab, that is when they smile and beg.
I would have thought it is a local airport thing, but they were at the international airport. They are even more entitled there and expect larger tips.😂😂😂
pocohantas: I won't make that up, Coco. Maybe they are not in the male toilet o, but for female toilet? Omo! It drives me crazy.
No I totally believe you I’m just shocked. So they’re holding onto the toilet paper so you won’t have anything to wipe with. That’s holding the person hostage na.
Na to just carry a pack of baby wipes in our purse be that. Smh
Bitterkola100: kid. He was only gentle because the guy is a foreigner, if na jjc Nigerian dem go find one yeye excuse just to extort him.
After immigration collect, police go collect, cleaner go collect, ndlea go collect na only gate man never ask me for money except in 2015 in benin city airport ehen dem say you have to pay so so amount before you fit enter airport, just Imangine.
Just ask person direction to cafeteria dem go follow you even nearly sit down with you till you give them money, abi na toilet, dem go follow you enter toilet, it's sickening.
The guy should not only be suspended but sacked. If not these people will never have sense.
If you have virgin passport wahala, dem go seize your passport till you drop something.
Even common ghana, you breeze in and out without any nonsense.
pocohantas: Even inside toilet, there is someone begging you for money at the airport. That is how they will be running round to show you how to use tap. Tissue paper that should be left on its own, they will hold on to it. Mehn!!
If you’re not a rapist no one can turn you into one
Pls don’t quote me with foolishness I beg you
yemmit90: Una like to call anyone not in full support of rape victims a rape apologist.
Things are not always what we think they are, especially if it happened behind close doors or where no other persons can see.
As a woman, you must learn how to draw a strict boundary between you and any man that is not your husband. Men rarely get close to the women thay dont like or want, they may not have intention to sleep with them but they are always vulnerable at a slighted seduction. A woman has no business going on private meeting with a man alone behind close door, Men don't have discipline when it comes to the kind of women they want, and this type of free spirited ignorant women can turn a good man to a rapist.
YINKS89: [b] I took very few cloths to the dry cleaner got rid of most of my household items by selling it off to get a new one and that was how I got rid of bed bugs.
That’s a different case. That has no bearing on this one. The pastor hasn’t claimed they lied against him.
And I don’t know why you’re apologizing to me. Just don’t be a rape apologist pls .
Zaheertyler: You're correct my bad but i still don't believe them I witnessed one that didn't go viral like this They even accused him of stealing money from their home People were calling the guy names Even me I later found out that it was the lady that was even disturbing the dude He fell and the husband caught him...the dude was wrong and he should be punished But the other allegations finished him totally I dont think he ever recovered from it It's a very sensitive issue so my apologies ma'am
Zaheertyler: I've seen so many cases like this And most times the person is not fully guilty in the way he or she has been accused but since say na person wife him go collect any accusation them give am.. That's why I always advice full werey mode He should say what really happened without minding who the stray bullet or bomb from what he says hit
He bleeped up big time yes But I don't believe people's stories again People with emotions lie too much
Oh two can tango? What did you think my response would be when you condescendingly asked me if I knew anything or what I was talking about? A smile and curtesy? No you started the dance I just met your passive aggressiveness with aggressive aggressiveness because I don’t do subtle when I feel disrespect coming in.
And no I don’t have to address what Harris said to you. Trump said he’ll sleep with his daughter if could. He said if he’s voted in now, no more elections in America’s future. You guys still support him anyway. And I’ve not asked you to explain to me what he meant. You’re going to support who you want.
Gone are those days when you guys support literal monsters and then turn around to pick apart normal people just because we validated it and gave you the platform to ask us those questions. As if there’s any comparability between the monsters you support and the normal people you’re trying to judge.
Here’s Kamala’s campaign phone number +1 (302) 281-2630. Send them your questions and maybe an intern will get back to you.
kkins25: She somehow says both. The problem here is the semantics she uses. Kamala does say she wants equal opportunities. However, my problem here is she also says she wants equal outcome. That was why I raised the question. She emphasizes it.
Cococandy, kindly address the point and avoid insults me, because two can tango. What does she mean by EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND EQUAL OUTCOME. At least, what do you take from that? Since you're the rational citizen, I suppose you understand how this would be implemented. Because, i also assumes it's because the plan has been explained to you in detail, and you've chosen to vote because you believe the plan is feasible.
"what does it mean,'equality of oucome'?" That was the original question I asked. I've just listened to the interview, and it's a recurring theme I've noticed in her campaigns from about a year ago.
As you answer, take into consideration the moguls contributing to saints Kamala campaign. Take a good look at that list, then wonder if Kamala isn't sitting on your back with a carrot over your head.
kkins25: That's not what the law says.. Thats the principle of economics.. Do you have any, or the slightest idea what you're typing at all?
Pls don’t be dense I beg of you.
The law doesn’t say he can pay less than me. I was only reply to Raum. Who was being cheeky about the law saying that.
What they did was find tax loopholes that they used to lie and create avenues to hide money and pretend that actually made less than they did thus finding rabbit holes through which they hid their money. Trump did it too and I remember his followers asking us why we weren’t taking advantage of the same loopholes if we hated it so much knowing full well that these loopholes often exist only for the rich.
Things like charities they own, churches they own, trusts they own, etc
Don’t come across dense pls. Come correct or don’t come at all.
You want to steal their wealth or just like most socialist leftist you want to steal their wealth?
What is their fair share? You know that phrase means nothing right?
Yall never fails to disappoint. Before I started, I said the typical republican makes up a position and starts arguing on that. I do not want anyone’s wealth given to me. I stated clearly that I want my tax money funding better stuff than to enrich billionaires and war lords.
You saw that, jumped past it and created a lie all in your head about me wanting their money and then decided it argue on the made up lie you came up with in your head
Exactly. The law says he can pay less than me because the law is in his pocket.
Or wait I thought you said she wanted to install communism? Now she intends to do nothing about it?
At some point you have to pick a side. It gets olds dancing to whatever tune you think will win the argument
You have validated all I said. No need for the needless back and forth
raumdeuter: Bezos can pay 0% if thats what the law says, You are paying what you are because thats what the law says, If I ask you why are you not paying 90% as taxes you will say its what the law states
How come the Democratic politicians have not changed the law since? in 2020 Democrats won every thing from Presidency to Senate to Congress, why didnt they change the law? Because they dont intend to and just use the line to gather votes without any intentions to do anything about it
raumdeuter: Everyone pays what the law requires them to, Anyone who doesnt will be jailed. You pay what the law requires you and you call it fair share, a billionaire pays what the law requires him and you say he should pay fair share?
Who determines fair share if not the law
The same law that’s filled with bought politicians?
Everyone pays what the law requires, you are free to pay more though and are you?
If you are not paying more than the law requires, then why should anyone else
.
If you don’t know that the billionaire class haven’t been paying their fair share of taxes, you should have researched before talking about it. If you knew, then you’re choosing to lie.
So, you’re either being disingenuous or you’re unprepared for the conversation. Either way it shows I was right in the beginning to say I wasn’t going to go back and forth with you.
raumdeuter: Democrats have ruled 12 in the last 16yrs how many of these have they done? How many percentage of their own earnings are they paying as taxes?
If you want more in public coffers, you can volunteer to pay more, your tax bracket is just the minimum required, you can choose to pay more into it if you believe in what you preach
I pay my fair share. If billionaires paid their fair share we wouldn’t be having this conversation
