NYSC / Re: FG Promises N5m Each To Families Of Slain Corps Members by Cyborg2011: 2:00pm On May 11, 2011
Believe it or not, the fact is that no body will be bring to justice in the relation this violence, so many things have be done in north, lacks of jobs, illeteracy, in fact lack of basic aminities with countless jobless youths doing nothing, what do you expect ?

As long as no any serious and tangible progressive action by the politicians to do something to these youths, don't expect anything from them except violence because they know their people betray them, while due to majority of them lack education they don't how to protest without violence.

However, it  very clear that these youths they make their regrettable and henious act without anybody telling to, infact the abuse, burn and kill anyone including the attempt to kill the politicians in their region, these youths needs education and jobs period.

In the case of bringing the culprits to justice ? Really the government should really do something on that, but one thing for sure I know government CAN NEVER succeed is the clear and plain truth that over 1000 of Muslims have been Killed and buried in mass burial in southern Kaduna by organized armed men of CAN. So now who the government will bring to justice? Many questions remain unanswered.

Politics / Bin Laden Dead Long Before Us Raid - Iran Intel by Cyborg2011: 2:00pm On May 10, 2011
'Bin Laden dead long before US raid'

Sun May 8, 2011 4:33PM



Iran's Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi


Iran's intelligence minister says the country has reliable information that former head of the al-Qaeda terrorist group Osama bin Laden died of disease some time ago.


“We have accurate information that bin Laden died of illness some time ago,” Heidar Moslehi told reporters on the sidelines of a Cabinet meeting on Sunday.

He questioned Washington's claim that bin Laden was killed by American troops in a hiding compound in Pakistan on May 1.

“If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don't they show him (his dead body) why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?” Moslehi asked.

“When we apprehended [former Jundallah ringleader Abdul Malik] Rigi, we showed him and also aired his interview,” ISNA quoted the intelligence chief as saying.

By releasing such false news, he said, the White House seeks to overshadow regional awakening.

Moslehi said US officials resort to such PR campaigns to divert attention from their domestic problems as well as their “fragile” economic situation.

US President Barack Obama claimed that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 1 in a hiding compound in Pakistan.

A US official later announced that bin Laden's body was abruptly buried at sea, falsely boasting that his hasty burial was in accordance with the Islamic law, requiring burial within 24 hours of death.

However, burial at sea is not an Islamic practice and Islam does not have a timeframe for burial.

US officials also claimed their decision for a sea burial was made because no country would accept bin Laden's remains, without elaborating on which countries were actually contacted on the matter.

Analysts, however, have raised serious questions as to why US officials did not allow for the application of a DNA test to officially confirm the identity of the corpse before its hasty burial.


Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died almost a decade ago after spending some time in a US hospital in Dubai, a former US Treasury official has told Press TV.



“FoxNews, which is the American neo-conservative, very, very conservative, very patriotic media station, reported in December of 2001 that the Taliban have announced that bin Laden had died,” said Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury.

“It's well known that bin Laden suffered from kidney disease, he requires dialysis. It's less well known that he had a genetic disease that does not allow a long life,” Roberts told Press TV.

He said at the time bin Laden was still an American agent and he was visited in a US hospital in Dubai in 2001, before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

“Bin Laden was visited in the American hospital in Dubai -- I believe, in July of 2001 -- by the CIA physicians," he said, adding that bin Laden "was created by the Americans to fight Soviets in Afghanistan.”

US President Barack Obama claimed that bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 1 in a hiding compound in Pakistan, resisting while unarmed.

Why should the poster be banned? Why are u afraid of the truth? Are u not happy with the work your blood sucking brothers in the north is doing?

You are out of your mind ?, of course it was north, but media failed to tell you people that Muslims have suffered more than anyone in this crisis caused by their youth and hundreds of Muslims traveling and those residing in Southern Kaduna have been massacred along Kaduna - Abuja and in the cities dominated by Christians, I suspect this as one of them.

The German intelligent said at least now the Terrorism scam is over. Why the used the word scam in my own point of view is that;

1) The Video of Pentagon attacked Sept 11 was proved to be faked by so many intelligent experts/graphic analysts.
2) The video of Osama giving orders for september 11 was also faked, Osama was shown making some signing on some documents using his right hand, (while may be the cia graphic/movie director) forgotten that Osama was a lefty. Many former cia, and intelligent around the globe (mostly usa) confirmed this.
3) Infact contrversial/conspiracy theories remained against even the attack of the September 11, where it happened over 3,000 Jews staff were absent (imagine none of them was a victim during the attack!).
4) So many questions remained till today unanswered regarding the collapse of the two towers at same time, later National Geographic Channel released documentary with Building Engineers claiming that the building collapsed was really (100% for sure) was setup earlier prior to the attack.(Don't ask me videos please look for it at youtube or simply google for it).
5) These guys so are smart enough (my opinion) to make me buy time to wait for one American military intelligent that might release this video sometime (even though Obama claimed this video will never be released).
6) This also remind me that now automatically obama will win his second tenure without rigging or too much campaign.
7) Now already massive conspiracy theories emerged putting some serious questions to this claim, which of course you can't ignore all of them, and of course I can't ignore the us intelligent saying now we will never see Osama bin laden walking on earth.
Cool Finally, if one will ask me about Osama, still dead or alive, I tell you that he might have dead since before these claims.
9) One thing for sure is that Americans always succeed in making people believe more than those who might not believe their views, ideas, policies and global scams on terrorism and other global issues.

darqly:

@gists- your logical inference is SKEWED! Not all muslims can be judged by the parameters of my uncle, likewise its highly improbable and very faulty to compare ONE Bologi to ALL muslims. For each life he saved, 10 were lost elsewhere. Have u ever had cause to seek refuge in a christians home? your use of google to buttress your points actually shoot u in the foot. The prefix of MILITANT is ISLAMIC 'goooogle it' too. U have shias hugging sunnis with explosive vests in iraq, then shia-sunni combos KILLING every other person, every other day WORLDWIDE. The day you can google me ONE christian 'terrorist'(de words don't even rhyme), I'll give u a dozen sects in islam that propagate terror as a tool for spreading their message. I cannot foist my beliefs on you ever, but if you regularly impose your views on me VIOLENTLY, fundamentally you must have a problem. Its chilling that muslims chant allahu akbar as they commit these atrocities.

For your info the muslims were they main victims in these crisises based on figures we have at hand; bbc hausa services,
eye witnesses, doctors at hospitals, volunters, journalists, police etc.

You don't really know muslims in the north, what I know the case of Bologi is just made public, but hundreds have been saved by the same Muslims you are accusing/abusing in Zaria, Kano and Kaduna, I wonder people just keep on surprising for a single case.

To find for yourself (except you are not among those not even living in Nigeria) ask those escaped to various northern barracks; Vokabu barracks (Kano), Military Depot (Zaria) and Defence Academy (Kaduna), I know over dozens of Christians women whom muslims women give hijab to escape to barracks, but here we have a bunch of idio.t morrons who don't know a dime about real northern muslims talking ru.bbish and spreading hatred.

It seem you don't know anything on sunni-shia crisis in Iraq, know nothing, tell me when last a sunni-shia kill one another before Christian crusaders as Bush called it during the mass Christians military (American Inversion) to Iraq, for you info once more that war lead to the dead of all most a million muslims in iraq all caused by majority a Christian army in the name of Crusade, what we now know as a state sponsored massacre and global terrorism against muslims by Christians.

The Christian crusaders started the war, dismantle the peace in the country, and instigate tribal, sects and religious violent among the iraqis to divide and rule as usual, if you don't know find a suitable documentary.

I'll give u a dozen Christian terrorist organization that propagate terror as a tool for spreading their message too

I cannot foist my beliefs on you ever, but if you regularly impose your views on me IGNORANTLY/VIOLENTLY, fundamentally you must have a BIG problem. Its chilling that a Christian Terrorist chant JESUS SENT ME as he try to bomb Arik Flight with full of innocent passengers in Nigeria, wonders never end.

I think you are in desperate need to change the books you read if you believe any of the bit in bold.

I believe in Qur'an 101% it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), from Almighty Allah (S.W.T), it was intact, authentic they were it was revealed over 1432 Years back, unlike bible followed by Christians (I guess may around 80% of Nairaland Christians don't even go to church) that have so much fabrications and modifications proved again and again by large number of Christians themselves worldwide several times.

Do you ever wonder why some Muslims killed in the southern Kaduna ? Those christian of course were killing based on the ideology of the Christianity or teaching in the bible.

May be you have to better understand the concept of Christian Terrorism and how the think.

Christian terrorism comprises terrorist acts by groups or individuals which claim Christian motivations or goals for their acts. As with other forms of religious terrorism, actors typically rely on idiosyncratic interpretations of the tenets of faith—in this case, primarily the Bible. Such groups may use the Old Testament scripture to justify violence or seek to bring about the "end times" described in the New Testament, while others hope to bring about a Christian theocracy.

It is now I really convinced that you have very low IQ, simply because, you are very outdated by not knowing that 9/11 is an internal job, meaning it was well planned and executed by jews/christians/americans that have so much hatred on Muslim like you dude.

Better study and do your homework very well before posting pictures potrays lie and hatred against Muslims, an ordinary well educated westerners knows much more true facts about Muslim than you people, one of your biggest problem is you refuse to learn, study or read more about facts depend Zionist media or rumours and exaggerated/fabricated lies about Islam.

Mind you, Islam is and will still remain the fastest growing religion in the west whether you like it or not, because they always read study and do more research, they never believes on media this days.

Politics / Re: A Muslim Who Risk All To Save His Xtian Neighbours by Cyborg2011: 8:37pm On Apr 24, 2011
Untold Story.

For some of you who really have close relatives in Kaduna, and whom will not hide things to you, please ask them about the untold and never reported massacre killing of Muslims in Southern Kaduna in the recent crisis.

They fact is that over 500 Muslims have been killed in those towns, they also killed large number of passengers coming back from the south trying to pass through kaduna.

Last I heard from bbc, one muslim described that he witnessed the burial of over 200 Muslims in a mass grave (mostly passengers and Muslims living Christian cities around southern kaduna.

Its pity, mind you muslims heard this all over the North, it really happened, it was quite unfortunate, I personally do not and will never support killing of innocent people be it Christians or Muslims, but found this forum quite disappointing, all you can read from this forum is lies and exaggerated stories everywhere, bashing and abusive and some time misquoting religious verses to support ones selfish interest, and believe me some of these words somebody can never say it on you face to face.

The fact is that, so much people have been killed in the north during this crisis, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, if you can get all the number of the victims, the majority are Muslims, which I know some of the ignorant here in Nairaland would find it difficult to believe simple because they either hate Muslims 200%, or are not even living in Nigeria, or they simply hate anything Islam, hausa/fulani etc.

Hoping to find some honest people around southern kaduna who can really tell you how they slaughter  Muslim womens and children and throw them into the well.

Many eye witness have confirmed this, so as long as Nigeria will be one, the killing from both side must be stop, else as some suggest it will be better to split it leaving south with Americans who will definitely install a puppet president or else instigate tribal war, infact I proved to the world they can stop at nothing when it comes to oil.

As some of you might know, real northerners wouldn't mind splitting simply because they are presently surviving without benefiting from it, all we know is that some few elites/politicians from north benefits from the budget with some few project for the states here and there.

Countless countries are surviving without oil simply importing it to their country, which I believe the north can afford that.

Nevertheless, Muslims in the north will never forget the history of massacres of Muslims in: Zangon Kataf, Kafanchan, Jos etc.

The worse case scenario is that if the politicians will keep on telling people lies, and the youth will never get educated, wandering around without anything to do, expect more of these to come, that's the fact, because majority of these un-educated youths in the north have reached the level of not even ready to listen to anybody, I repeat anybody, whoever tell you there is a single body controlling these youths, he is deceiving you and it is a lie, they abuse, burn down houses of imams and malams supporting pdp, (ask people in kaduna to confirm), emirs's place (kano), many were killed while in the process of burning down the emir of Zaria's place, we already know some key pdp politicians who will never ever try to visit their home own or their community may be except with extreme security cover.

All I know is that some of these uncontrolled youths use this opportunity of course to cause mayhem brutal killing of innocent Christians, corpers, and burn churches, its quite unfortunate, there is no a single honest educated and God fearing Northerner supporting this, am not saying you have to be believe me on this, if you don't to hell with you, i don't care, I just have to tell the facts on the ground being a person who really know how these youth think based on what is on the ground and what is going on in the Northern Nigerian politics.

Cheers.

JomoGbomo2:

@dem_people

Regarding your questions above, I will try to answer them just in the same sequence it was posted.

1. The reason is simple, every other religion/belief has been diluted with the conventional life style (a.k.a civilization), Islam is the only way of life that has tried and still trying to keep its pristine nature. As you have rightly noted the Islamic ruling of someone denouncing his faith is hard punishment and sometimes death, Sincerely, I can't remember anywhere in the Quran where the law said the person should be killed but[b] i know the rules and laws in the Quran are meant for an Islamic state[/b] and for our personal lives. Another part of the Quran actually categorically say "There is no compulsion in religion" which means we can do ours and you can do yours.  The question is who are we (muslims) that we want to go against the Quran teachings, if the Quran say you should do something and then you have to do it as long as you are a muslim.

2. There are no churches in Saudi Arabia and that simply because of their laws, i can't tell you what to allow in your own house, but remember there are no mosques too in the vatican city, it is also a country. (There are mosques in Rome but not the vatican)

3. Concerning the marriage, The Islamic law is that a female Muslim is discouraged from marrying outside the religion, but the male is permitted to marry a Christan or Jew, this is also frowned at but allowed legally. This is the ruling and we are bound to abide by it.

4. We are not obliged to fight for God, but we are commanded to go against tyranny, oppressors and all forms of evils. in the Quran, there was a particular set of people that wanted to demolish mecca but God himself fought them and not the people. Most muslims today try to fight for God because of martydom, i personally believe a lot of them got it wrong (it is against the teaching os islam to kill innocent/civillians of any community irrespective of the rationale). Also the supposedly muslim leaders today are the tyrant and oppressors but thats not the teaching.
A short story here, Ali (one of the Prophet disciples) was fighting during war, with another man, after he has disarmed the man and was on him,  the man spat on him. he stood up and told the man he couldn't kill him because if he had done so, it would have been because of the man's spitting on him.

5. Why Martydom, It is part of the teaching of Islam that if someone dies as a martyr, he wont be questioned about  how he spent his live on this earth. so people tend to translate this as a short cut to heaven. I personally think this belief has been turned upside down, because the people the Prophet actually told this are people that are already upright and keep to the teachings of the Quran, these days we see people that hardly say their 5 daily prayers but want the short cut to heaven, so they do anything any sweet tongue (so-called) imam tell them to do.


The truth is that today:

1. Islam is totally different from muslims, but the unfortunate thing is that Islam will continue to be judged by the actions of muslims.
2. Islam can't be practice without knowledge, today's muslims don't even know the basics of their religion.
3. Islam is against Monarchical system but all supposedly islamis states are using the system.
4. Islam is the only way of life that is struggling to keep its pristine belief just the way it was 1400 years ago, because of this it has gotten all form assaults from the west, it will continue because we believe that God's teaching are not suppose to change with time, we believe that those teachings are still relevant to our present issues and we must continue to folow them.

The challenge is that the Muslims must find a better way handling the situations rather than bombing and violence. I can't see this happening as long as the love for money is in the equation.  

@dem_people lets not digress from this thread we can meet in the religion section to talk more.
 
Regarding what the Hausa's are doing, they are not fighting for God or Islam, they are just another set of ignorant, jobless and uneducated set of youth. product of our visionless leaders and victims of their regional local teachers/society.

Science/Technology / Meet Nigerian 28-year-old ‘rocket Inventor’ by Cyborg2011: 3:25pm On Mar 23, 2011
Meet 28-year-old ‘rocket inventor’
Sunday, 20 March 2011 00:00 Christiana T. Alabi, Kaduna

Two solid-fuelrockers launchedby ShehuBalami in Kaduna
Since year 2000 when he was still in secondary school, 28 year old Shehu Balami, a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna has been researching into rocketry trying to make rocket that will fly, although he initially made many smaller models that instead of flying, exploded due to very low power and lack of enough thrust to drive the rocket. He said that after making the smaller models that, he started making some horizontal tests produced enough power to drive the rocket and it was then he started to believe that he could actually make a rocket that can fly. “My family especially my mother encouraged me to continue even when the rockets were not flying,” he said.


“The first successful rocket I made that flew was to demonstrate before my work project was titled “Design and construction of an amateur solid propellant rocket” after producing it, it flew and that was how i eventually got it in 2008,” he stressed, adding that, the project was the best in his department in year 2008.

In February, 2011, the young-engineer apart from the rocket he produced as his project work, he invented and launched two solid-fuel rockets along the new Kaduna Millennium City road in Kaduna state.

Speaking at the site of the launching, Balami explained that he started working on the rockets since February, 2010, and had wanted to launch them in October, 2010 to celebrate Nigeria at 50 but could not because of financial constraints. He said that was the reason for designing the rockets in Nigeria national col-our: green white green.

He disclosed that he developed interest in rocketry since he was a child not only with the aim of building them but to enable him build space satellite for Nigeria in the future. “I have a special passion for anything that flies be it aeroplane or rocket and that was the reason why I started researching into rocketry, and in fact it informs the choice of my project topic in the university,” he stated.

The two rockets Balami launched flew impressively well into the space at normal speed but could not reach the calculated distance of 1.3 Km due he identified as scarcity of unadulterated materials in the local market.

“The rockets I launched did not reach the calculated height of 1.3km, it could be from the potassium nitrate which I suspected might have been adulterated because I did not change the mixture i used for the previous ones that flew well,” he added.

The rockets numbers are J03 and J04, explaining that the ‘J’ stands for his mother’s name Jummai because of her contributions and encouragement towards the realization of his dream and aspiration of inventing a rocket that could fly.

According to him the components of rocket include: fuel (potassium nitrate, sulphur, and carbon), mild steel for the casing, the fins were also made of mild steel while the nose was made of plaster of Paris (POP). The calculated speed of the rocket was 660km/h, takeoff weight – approximately 1kg, propelling weight for the first one was 344 grams while that of the second was 364 grams. The engine length according to him was 300mm while the outside diameter was 4.8cm.

On how he gets funding to produce the rockets, he said he has been getting support from his friends and family members. He said the first rocket he produced in 2008 that flew cost him about 10,000 naira only, but the two he launched in February, 2011 cost him approximately 30,000 naira each adding that he used hundred percent local contents.

He said he was able to invent the solid-fuel rocket with the support from his friends under the auspices of Movement for the Propagation of Science and Technology in Nigeria, a group which comprises friends with interest in science and technology.

“Our aim is to create awareness on the practical application of what is learnt in school for the development of the society. The group started from the university when, we delivered lectures to students on science and technology from jet and, rocket engines to electric circuit. The name of the group in school was Passion for the Application of Engineering and Technological research Information (PAETRI),” he explained.

He said their movement had written letters to the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) but is yet to get response.

He explained that, the rocket is a vehicle that uses engine proportionately so that it can to convey equipments and satellites to space and also assist the take-off of heavy aircraft. It has a military application and it can carry a war-head and in that case it is called a missile.

He lamented Nigeria’s reliance on advanced countries to send her satellite into the space due to lack of conducive atmosphere for indigenous talented inventors to strive in the country after 50 year of independence, noting that there is need for the federal government to recognize and provide conducive atmosphere for scientists and technologists if it wishes to attain the desired vision 20:2020.

“If government pays attention to local scientists and technologists and supports them financially, with this kind of invention I just launched, I believe strongly that one day we will be able to build our own satellite or the engine that will take the satellite to the space and save Nigeria a lot of money,” Balami stressed.

Engineer Balami said that he has also started researches in building of Remote Controlled Aircraft, which he intends to go into immediately after the launching of his rocket.

His friends Shittu Zumungai and Mohammed Abdulmalik Abdulrahaman in their separate remarks described Balami as an embodiment of talents and a gift to his generation, reiterating that he has to be properly utilized so that he can contribute his quota to the technological advancement of Nigeria.

Certification And Training Adverts / Re: Best Ethical Hacking School. by Cyborg2011: 11:55pm On Mar 20, 2011
@ Slyr0x,

With due respect and appreciation, as I always cherish and support your "ethical" activities here in Nairaland, especially supporting and helping our young web developers in protecting and hardening the security of their sites by free security checks, which to my knowledge it can be only done by real cyber samaritan.

Your last post regarding Ankit Fadia is partially wrong I quote "He is one of the renowned EH India has eva produced", it only take one to be in Mumbai or attend one of his seminar here in India to find out the truth, actually he got what he want which is of course the publicity.

However, to me the difference between you (Slyr0x) and Fadia is the number of books he published, but believe me several times Pakistan hackers proved him wrong, and of course here in India too so many unnoticed (shadowed) hackers always laugh at the way Fadia showing himself and boosting his capability in media.

A little review on the Wikipedia link you posted, will also give someone hint on my claims http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankit_Fadia

Anyway, he succeeded in delivering speeches around the world, and his ethical hacking school doing well, more importantly as people here in India noticed he always gives police officers training on cyber policing, but I personally cannot recommend somebody to afceh, may be my best advice to the guy interested in this field is too look for someone like you or where he can secure offensive security certification and real hands-on training.

Thanks.

We are talking of global crime committed by particular group of Nigerian community, you are talking of killing by other group drive by politics, what about Niger Deltans, killing and bombing unarmed peace-loving civilians of the country, recently working to bomb Lagos and Abuja, talkless of one Arik Airline Terrorist who wanted to blast an airplane.

Where are you when all these happened, look am just advicing you to look at rate of these crimes by member of your tribe, am not here to cause havoc but only to bring to your notice that the crimes are rapidly increasing daily with subsequence crimes committed twice by the group at times within a week.

Its really a shame, when somebody cannot clearly see facts, but start biting about the bush, whenever truth is told.

Sorry bro better organize seminar, workshop for your people to stop this, its high time, we are in civilized era, not trying to cheat somebody hard-earned money.

I dare challenge you to bring similar rates of crime by Northerners in diaspora, but mind you such news will be coming every week around the globe not only in India, you entirely miss the point, such illegal things will never be done by Northerners, they are not out of their mind for money or simply cheating others around the world, but it is clearly shows that, among Nigerians only igbo are doing this most. Why ?

RECAP AND SUMMARY RANDOMLY THIS YEAR (2011) ALONE ,

Nigerians don't have good reputation but all are treated alike

TNN, Jan 25, 2011, 06.14am IST
Q. You talk about the problem of identity in your books, The Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun, as dehumanised and meaning nothing more than a passport or visa.

A. Nigerians don't have a good reputation. We do email frauds and are drug dealers. Many Nigerians are guilty of this but what is problematic is that all Nigerians are treated alike. When you produce a Nigerian passport, the looks you get tags you as one of them'. It dehumanises and humiliates us. The moment they see you, you are already defending yourself for a crime you never committed. You are guilty of something because of the nationality.
