Fahdiga:Monkey face exconvict Kalu will never smelll Aso rock without Tinubu’s presidential pardon. |
omoolokunEsin:You talk like an ignorant person. |
felixnkubi:Like Ethiopia is not a christian majority countryLeave story for mathias.Political control is different from religion.Taliban works with America,they signed an agreement with Taliban last year so Both sides are fulfilling their terms of agreement. |
omoolokunEsin:Ode as if Muslims no plenty for US before.Stop exibiting your ignorance on public forum.You have never left MMA airport that is why you talk like this. Do you know how many Iraqis,Syrians,Afghans,Yeminis living in Europe and America granted refugee status? UN even airlift them from neighbouring countries into Europe and America with ready accomodation and allowances.They get citizenship fast in Europe. America and Europe no send religion because it is only a tool to control brainwashed people like Africans and Arabs. Fight in the middle east or Asia is Anerica imperialist agenda and the consequence are people whose lives are ruined becoming refugees. |
Mokason288:The people running away are the ones associated with western countries and seen as traitors for serving the enemy such as informants,interpreters,domestic servants of Western companies etc. They are running away for fear of backlash from the populace and will eventually seek asylum in any western country. This is nothing new,Algerians who served the colonial interest in their country flee after independence of their country to france. |
Mikecold:Muslims will stop fighting like the christians if they get political power and might like the west.i see islam and christisnity as two sides of the same coin.You activate whichever suit your narrative to deal with your enemies. The west are the major financiers of modern day jihadists ,if you dont know from AlQaeda,ISIS,AlNusra,Abu Sayaf,Boko haram,Taliban even christian militias are not left out.Taliban got weapons from the so called western nation. War is profitable and business to the western weapon contractors.It is also an avenue to test latest military weapon on the population to determine damaging effect on humans. The people behind the curtains use religion and politics are an instrument to consolidate power,control and subjugate the people. |
Mikecold:Over half a million afghans were already in Europe while America occupied their land.Many grew up in Iran to escape the Ameriva chaos. |
sirusX:Islam learnt the act to dominate and rule from christianity.Brits wipe out the original inhabitants of Australia,Canada,New Zealand and America using the bible as justification. Taliban means students from a majority tribe(Pashtun) trying to take control of their country from invaders. Americans are like fulani herdsmen to an average AFGHAN. |
VEXT:Is Vietnam a Muslim country? |
Taliban's Mullah Baradar to be Afghanistan's new President as Ashraf Ghani resigns? Taliban negotiators have moved to the Afghanistan presidential palace for a 'transfer' of power, with Mullah Baradar likely to become the new President In a breaking development, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani will tender his resignation as the government surrendered to the Taliban forces in Kabul on Sunday. According to sources, Taliban negotiators have moved to the Afghan presidential palace to prepare for a 'transfer' of power. Following talks between the Afghan government and Taliban negotiators, an interim government led by the Taliban has been announced. The new Afghanistan government will reportedly be led by top Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. As per sources, Mullah Baradar has the support of Qatar, which has been helping the Taliban and Afghan govt negotiate. Taliban issues statement after entering Kabul After infiltrating the outskirts of Kabul, the Taliban has issued a statement saying that they have no plans to take the Afghan capital by force. Three Afghan officials have told AP that the fighters were in the districts of Kalakan, Qarabagh, and Paghman in the capital. The Taliban's statement comes after the Afghan Interior Ministry announced that the Taliban had begun entering the Afghan capital from all sides. "The Taliban instructs all its forces to stand at the gates of Kabul, not to try to enter the city. Till the completion of the transition process, the security of Kabul city must be maintained. We do not intend to take revenge on anyone, all those who have served in military and civilian sectors in the Kabul administration are forgiven and safe. All should stay in their own place and home and not try to leave the country," stated the Taliban. Earlier today, Afghanistan's Acting Interior Minister Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal also announced that Kabul will not be attacked by the Taliban and that the transition will happen peacefully, as per Tolo news. He assured residents that security forces will ensure the security of the city. READ | Blinken dials Ashraf Ghani 'to discuss the current security situation' in Afghanistan The fall of Mazar-e-Sharif - a heavily defended city on Sunday morning sent the Afghanistan crisis spinning out of control. With control over Mazar-e-Sharif, the Taliban confined the Ashraf Ghani-led government to the center and east. Given this major leverage, the nation failed to protect its capital. The militant group took over all border posts leading to Kabul, leaving only Kabul airport as the remaining exit from the war-torn nation. Helicopters were seen landing at the US Embassy in Kabul as diplomatic vehicles began to leave the compound after destroying sensitive documents. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.republicworld.com/amp/world-news/rest-of-the-world-news/talibans-mullah-baradar-to-be-afghanistans-new-president-as-ashraf-ghani-resigns.html

house10s:Russia and UK are ready to support Taliban whenever they take control of Afghanistan.The world will soon recognise takiban as the legitimate govt.America is in support of Taliban because Taliban takeover is the wish of the people.

Asiwaju Tinubu is not as old as Buhari. If Buhari could hold the presidency from 2015 till now. Asiwaju Tinubu will do the same come 2023. By the Grace of God, we only need the brain power and not the age bracket. Those who are crying foul over Asiwaju's current trip to London are not reasonable. Atiku was once using two crutches and not walking stick yet he's ready for presidential seat. We should ���� sounding as if only the old is always the sick. There are good numbers of young people out there who are sicklers. ~Bisi Omo Olubadan President of the Yoruba Liberation Movement

If Nigeria finally breaks up... By SIMON KOLAWOLE Nigeria, a country of roughly 250 ethnic groups arbitrarily coupled together by the British colonialists in 1914, is mired in an “existential crisis”, probably like never before. Apart from the north, it seems every other part wants out. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has long declared its intention to pull Nd’Igbo out of the Nigerian “zoo”. Chief Sunday Igboho, increasingly referred to as Yoruba rights activist, is fronting the agitation for the Republic of Oduduwa. Some Niger Delta militants recently announced the resumption of hostilities. The details are not yet out, but the region, whose oil is critical to government revenue, has its own ideas. Is it finally time for the country to break up? I have never hidden where I stand: I believe in one Nigeria. It is not because I am such a wonderful patriot. No. But I have gone round Nigeria and interacted intensely with ordinary Nigerians. I have always come to the conclusion that we are not sworn enemies. Rather, we are victims of elite manipulation and political mismanagement. I have always concluded that we can live and prosper together “in peace and unity” if the political and economic conditions are right. But my opinion is just one out of 200 million. It is a drop in the ocean. I have now reached a stage in my life that I don’t care again. Whatever we settle for, life goes on. But how many countries would Nigeria split into? Nobody has mandated me to work it out, yet it gives me a headache whenever I think about it. On paper, given the ongoing campaign that “the north is dragging us backward”, we should ordinarily suppose that Nigeria would break into two: the Democratic Republic of Southern Nigeria and the Republic of Northern Nigeria. I went for this preliminary assumption because the south seems united against the north. Many people also assume Nigeria to be simply north and south. Power rotation is often about north and south. There is also a prevailing international typecasting of Nigeria as “Muslim north and Christian south”. Down south, the Democratic Republic of Southern Nigeria, DRSN for short, will have two dominant ethnic groups: Igbo and Yoruba. The DRSN minorities may accuse them of feeding fat on their oil — the same accusation the north faces perennially. As things stand, oil is still the biggest contributor to the national purse. Most of the economic calamities that befell Nigeria recently stemmed from falling oil revenue. Will DRSN leaders grant “fiscal federalism” to the oil-rich states? If so, the non-oil states may face a crippling fiscal crisis and lapse into the beggar-thy-neighbour mode, but they should all be fine “las las” (if you don’t understand Nigerian English, that’s “in the final analysis”). Hold on. Yoruba and Igbo living together in same country? What was I thinking? Ndi Ofe Nmanu vs Omo Ajokutamamumi. It will be a Rumble in the Jungle. They only seem united in taking on the Hausa-Fulani. With Nigeria broken up and no Hausa-Fulani to fight, I don’t see Igbo and Yoruba sleeping on the same bed. They may be smiling and hugging for the cameras, but they mistrust each other with passion. Igbo will regularly accuse Yoruba of chickening out and betraying them in 1967 by not declaring Republic of Oduduwa. Yoruba will fight back and ask Igbo to leave Lagos, else they will be thrown into the Lagoon. Igbo will retort: “No way, we built Lagos! We own Lagos!” No, I wouldn’t put Igbo and Yoruba together in DRSN. That would be too risky. It would only increase my headache. More so, the Niger Delta may become suspicious of both of them. If Yoruba and Igbo complained about being dominated by Hausa-Fulani in the defunct Federal Republic of Nigeria, so would the Ijaw, Urhobo, Edo and Ibibio, among other smaller groups, complain of being dominated by Yoruba/Igbo oligarchy in DRSN. It was not that difficult to get the southern minorities to back out of Biafra in 1967. It was as simple as telling them the Igbo were only after their resources and that they would become second-class citizens. It worked like magic. I think DRSN will be not one country. It is, therefore, more convenient for me to see the south breaking into three: Republic of Oduduwa for Yoruba, Republic of Biafra for Igbo and Republic of Niger Delta for the oil-producing region. At the beginning of the Republic of Oduduwa, I can see some fiscal crisis. As things are, only Lagos state pays salaries and pensions and still executes projects without much sweat, apart from taking a lot of debt. The state will have to be its brothers’ and sisters’ keepers by helping other O’dua states with the wage bill. Remember that the Niger Delta oil money will be gone. Even Ondo state that is “oil-rich” still struggles to pay its bills. Lagos state will become the Niger Delta of Oduduwa Republic. Let me explain with statistics. According to the boffins at StatiSense who analysed data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), all the six south-west states internally generated a total revenue of N516.01 billion in 2020. Out of this, Lagos alone generated N418.99 billion, representing 81.2 percent. That is, for every N100 generated in the south-west, Lagos contributed N81. Without Lagos, the entire internally generated revenue (IGR) of the south-west was N97.02bn. If not for federation allocations, no south-west state would still be alive today. From the NBS data on IGR, most states are fiscally challenged and only a handful can survive without the oil revenue. Does that mean Lagosians will resent other O’dua states as “parasites on our IGR”? An Ondo man once grumbled to me that Chief Obafemi Awolowo used their cocoa revenue to develop Ibadan, and that Ondo was marginalised. Will political violence, the type we see regularly in Ibadan and Lagos, disappear in O’dua Republic? Will there be cries of marginalisation? Currently, Oke Ogun people say they are denied Oyo governorship; Yewa people say they can’t produce an Ogun governor; same with Awori in Lagos; and the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) says south-west Muslims are marginalised, particularly in Ondo and Ekiti states. But O’dua Republic will be fine “las las”. Should we expect a Biafra where everything will be based on merit and where no part will complain of marginalisation? Will there be quotas for educationally disadvantaged Biafran communities or will it be the battle of the fittest, where only the fittest of the fittest shall survive and stay alive? Will there be “federal character”, so that a Biafran president of Wawa extraction does not fill his cabinet with Wawa appointees? Will “merit” be tempered with power rotation so that Anambra does not produce Biafran presidents non-stop using their big voting population? Will the Ezza/Effium communities in Ebonyi finally stop killing each other? Never mind, Biafra will be fine “las las”. Will the Republic of Niger Delta be the most prosperous of the post-Nigerian entities, with billions of petrodollars cementing their progress after years of “exploitation” and “oppression” by the Nigerian nation? Have their leaders done commendably well with 13 per cent derivation? If yes, imagine what they can do with 100 per cent! Will the over 50 ethnic groups become united and peaceful in the absence of the Nigerian “parasites”? Will the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), which has received over $50 billion since inception, finally go nuclear? Some say more money has not produced more development in the region — but the Republic of Niger Delta will be fine “las las”. Meanwhile, the popular assumption down south is that the north is one. When President Muhammadu Buhari named Mr Boss Mustapha as SGF in 2017, someone shouted: “Yet another Fulani Muslim!” He didn’t know that Mustapha is neither Fulani nor Muslim. Actually, some of those tagged Fulani in Buhari’s government are not. There are close to 200 ethnic groups up north. Since religion is the strongest identity over there, a single Republic of Northern Nigeria may not be fit for purpose. We may need two northern countries to achieve a semblance of homogeneity: the Islamic Republic of Northern Nigeria (IRNN) and the Middle Belt Republic of Nigeria (MBRN). Will the Islamic Republic of Northern Nigeria — where cholera can be described as a punishment for adultery and mannequins classified as symbols of immorality — finally find peace in the bosom of the Lord? Will IRNN end the crushing poverty and abject underdevelopment dotting its landscape? Will the millions of out-of-school children and thousands of communities drinking from dirty river and getting afflicted with water-borne diseases finally find fulfilment in a Muslims-only country? Will Shi’ites and Sunnis sheathe the sword and embrace each other? Will Boko Haram finally accept fellow Muslims as true Muslims and stop killing them? In that case, IRNN will be fine “las las”. “Middle Belt” is the euphemism for Christian north, so I automatically assume they will need their own country. But why do I think it would be a geographical nightmare to create a country for the Christians spread across Kebbi, Kaduna, Borno, Gombe, Niger, Bauchi, Kwara, Kogi, Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba and Adamawa? You can’t even draw the northern Christian map on paper! But if we manage to separate the Christians from the Muslims and create a country for them, I suspect there will still be cries of marginalisation by Idoma in Benue and scores of ethnic groups in Plateau, Kaduna, Niger and Nasarawa. But the cumbersome multi-ethnic MBCRN will be fine “las las”. There are times I wish we could perform an experiment: break up Nigeria for 10 years and see how the new countries will be run. If it works, we can then kiss Nigeria goodbye. But here is my biggest headache: if Nigeria finally breaks up, will every Igbo relocate to Biafra, Yoruba to O’dua Republic and Hausa-Fulani to IRNN? Nigerians live in other countries such as Republic of Benin and Ghana, so I am afraid ex-Nigerians will still live and work in other regions of the defunct Nigeria. In that case, they will still have to learn to live together and tolerate one another. Above all, good governance will still be critical to development. And conflicts will not end — they will only take new shapes. - Simon Kolawole |

KillIgbohoN0W:I mean the fulani soldiers will accompany Saboteurs/non natives to break the strike by all means.Risking Their cash cow is a high price to pay for the govt. Govt might overlook East/North because little wealth comes from those regions. If South west economy shut for one month,Nigeria will go hungry and it will send shockwaves across the nation. |
KillIgbohoN0W:We have unity in Yorubaland.The problem in Yorubaland is we have too many non-nnatives on our soil than any other part of the country. I know the Hausas/Igbo traders could sabotage the effort. |
I was thinking if the Yorubas can do a sit at home for 2weeks,the govt will be pressured to let go of Igboho and his aides because Yorubaland is the economic backbone of Nigeria. Nigerian FG cannot afford their cash cow to be shut down for long.Southwest region make 82 trillion out of a total of 169 trillion a year to the Nigerian purse.Yorubas must understand the power they possess in Nigeria.South West contribute 49%,South South 40%,North West 2.5%,East 1.5% etc. |
Anguldi:Thanks |
