PoliticsRe: 2019: Buhari May Pick Tinubu As VP by Dotng: 9:23am On Dec 13, 2017
OnucheAdams:
Osibanjo lacks both political and electoral value, which makes him a liability for 2019. A Tinubu as VP is certainly a desperate move by GMB, but again if he were wise, he'd simply hand over to a much younger and vibrant candidate.
It is when they drop Osinbajo that you will know his political and electoral value. When they used his name to clear Christian votes in desperation during 2015 election a lot of you folks were not sure of defeating Jonathan then. Even Jonathan himself voiced it out that Osinbajo was his problem.
Tinubu is only good as a kingmaker. He will never be a Vice President not to talk of President in Nigeria.

Enyeama stops penalty on return



Former Nigeria international Vincent Enyeama played his first game in over seven months as the reserve team of Lille beat Croix Football IC 3-1 in the Championnat National 2 Group C, equivalent of fourth-tier.

Prior to stepping out onto the Complexe Sportif de Luchin (Camphin-en-Pévèle) turf on Saturday evening, the 35-year-old last figured for Lille at any level on April 15, 2017 when the first team lost 2-0 to Rennes in Ligue 1.

Having returned to full fitness, Enyeama agreed to play against Croix Football IC and was impressive, and the highlight of his performance was saving a penalty kick.

Enyeama expressed his pleasure at returning to action, posting on social media : ‘’God has been so faithful.7 months and some weeks, God has taken me up. I had my 1st game. ‘’I want to thank everyone that worked for this day to happen. God bless you all.’’

Enyeama will become Nigeria’s oldest player to feature at the World Cup if he rescinds his decision to quit the national team and is selected for the mundial by Gernot Rohr.

Legendary goalkeeper Peter Rufai is the oldest Nigerian to feature at the World Cup, at the age of 34 years, 10 months and 4 days.

Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Recognizes Jerusalem As The Capital Of Israel by Dotng: 1:44pm On Dec 07, 2017
Should the US declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel?
Dr. Jim Denison | December 7, 2017
NOTE: Given the complexity and significance of today's subject, this Daily Article is longer than usual.

"I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," President Trump announced yesterday. After his statement, Palestinian protesters burned photos of the president in Gaza City. By contrast, the walls of Jerusalem's Old City were lit with the colors of the American and Israeli flags.

Why is this such a controversial and divisive issue?

I have been to the Holy Land more than twenty times. Each time, I am amazed again by the complexities surrounding Jerusalem, the religious capital of more than half the world's population.

Rather than make a case for one position, I will survey the history of the Holy City and briefly outline the various arguments on this divisive issue. Then I will ask you to join me in a commitment to two principles that transcend controversy and advance God's Kingdom.

An introduction to Jerusalem

Jerusalem has been continuously inhabited for almost six thousand years. Three millennia ago, it was captured by King David and made the capital of his kingdom (2 Samuel 5:6–10). His son Solomon built his palace and the first temple there (1 Kings 6–7).

Babylon destroyed the city and its temple in 586 BC; they were rebuilt after the Persian ruler Cyrus the Great liberated the Jews in 538 BC. King Herod enlarged the temple and city greatly, but both were destroyed by the Romans in AD 70. Emperor Hadrian rebuilt the city in AD 129–30, naming it Aelia Capitolina. When Constantine became emperor, he changed the name back to Jerusalem in AD 324.

In AD 614, the Persian army conquered the city and destroyed most of its churches. Muslims called the city "el-Quds," meaning "the holy." They believe that the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven from a rock in Jerusalem known as the Foundation Stone. (Jews believe this rock is where the creation of the world began and was the location of their temple.) In AD 691, Muslims completed the famous Dome of the Rock over this location. It is the third-holiest site in the world to Muslims (next to Mecca and Medina, the places of the Prophet's birth and death).

The Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque comprise the Temple Mount. The structure enclosing this elevated area on its western side is the famous Western Wall or Wailing Wall. Jews are not permitted to pray on the Temple Mount, so this Wall is their place of prayer closest to where their temple once stood. It is therefore the holiest site on earth to them.

Crusaders conquered Jerusalem in AD 1099 but surrendered it to the Muslim general Saladin in 1187. Ottoman Turks took over in 1517, rebuilding walls around the city. This enclosed area is known today as the "Old City." It is only .35 square miles in size, with a population of approximately 35,000 people, and is located in what is known as East Jerusalem. The larger city of Jerusalem is home to more than 857,000 Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

Jerusalem in the modern era

During World War I, the British army captured the city in 1917. Jerusalem remained under British rule until 1948, when they withdrew from Palestine and Israel declared independence. The new State of Israel gained control of West Jerusalem. However, East Jerusalem came under the control of Jordan, which denied Jews access to their holy sites, many of which were destroyed or desecrated.

During the 1967 Six-Day War, Jewish forces regained East Jerusalem. Jewish and Christian access to the holy sites was restored. Israel left the Temple Mount under the jurisdiction of an Islamic authority (the waqf) but opened the Western Wall to Jews.

To this day, Palestinians regard East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. Since 1950, all branches of the Israeli government (except the Ministry of Defense) have resided in West Jerusalem. In 1980, Israel declared Jerusalem to be its "complete and united" capital.

In response, United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 478 ruled this declaration a violation of international law and called on UN member states to withdraw their diplomats from the city. All twenty-four countries that had their embassy in West Jerusalem eventually moved them to Tel Aviv, where eighty embassies now reside.

However, in 1995 the United States Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act, requiring that the American embassy be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all signed waivers delaying this move every six months, citing security concerns. The US took the position that the final determination of Jerusalem should be part of an Israeli-Palestinian peace resolution.

What the president announced

Yesterday, President Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and announced a plan to move the American embassy there. He also signed a waiver delaying the move another six months. White House officials explained that the waiver decision was necessary since it would take several years to move the embassy.

The president noted in his remarks that the Jerusalem Embassy Act was passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority in Congress and was reaffirmed by unanimous Senate vote six months ago. Presidents have delayed the move in a desire to advance peace. However, according to the president, "After more than two decades of waivers, we are no closer to a lasting peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. It would be folly to assume that repeating the exact same formula would now produce a different or better result."

The president noted that Jerusalem is the seat of the modern Israeli government. He therefore considers his announcement "nothing more or less than a recognition of reality." However, he made clear that "this decision is not intended in any way to reflect a departure from our strong commitment to facilitate a lasting peace agreement." He also voiced his support for a two-state solution and called on all parties to "maintain the status quo at Jerusalem's holy sites."

Arguments for this decision

At least four assertions are being made in support of the president's decision.

One: It recognizes reality.

Nearly all the agencies of Israel's government reside in Jerusalem. For this reason, Russia recently recognized West Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Is Israel to be the only nation in the world that is not permitted to choose its own capital?

Two: It strengthens Israel's claim to Jerusalem.

On December 23, 2016, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2334, calling on Israel to "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem." The US chose to abstain, allowing the resolution to become international law.

This resolution affected not only settlements in the West Bank but also historically Jewish sites such as the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. The UN resolution forbids renovation or even maintenance of these areas.

UNSC 2334 is part of a larger attempt to undermine Jewish ties to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. The "Temple Denial" movement claims that no Jewish temple ever existed in Jerusalem. Last week, the UN General Assembly voted one hundred and fifty-one to six (with nine nations abstaining) to adopt another resolution disavowing Israeli ties to Jerusalem.

UN bodies have adopted eighteen resolutions against Israel so far this year. In response, the president's announcement lends America's support to Israel's solidarity with its capital city.

Three: It does not change the status quo in East Jerusalem.

The American embassy will be in West Jerusalem, an area that has been under Israeli sovereignty since its independence in 1948. The status of East Jerusalem will still be resolved through the peace process as before.

Four: It refuses to bow to the threat of terrorism.

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz responded to the danger of terrorism: "No American decision should ever be influenced by the threat of violence. Terrorists should not have a veto over American policy. If the United States were to give in to threat of violence, it would only incentivize others to threaten violence in response to any peace plan."

Arguments against this decision

At least three assertions are being made in opposition to the president's decision.

One: It escalates the threat of violence.

Some commentators believe that the president's statement will not provoke significant violence. Others claim the Arab world is less centered on the Palestinian cause than in the past.

However, King Abdullah II of Jordan fears that the move could be exploited by terrorists to stoke anger in the region. Saudi Arabia has condemned the plan for this reason; Turkish President Erdogan threatened to cut diplomatic ties with Israel as a result.

The patriarchs and heads of Christian churches in Jerusalem issued a statement warning that this step "will yield increased hatred, conflict, violence and suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, moving us farther from the goal of unity and deeper toward destructive divisions." The US State Department is reportedly bracing for violence at its consulates and embassies as a result of the announcement.

Two: It could undermine the peace process.

A statement from the Palestine Liberation Organization claimed that the US will be "disqualifying itself to play any role in any initiative towards achieving a just and lasting peace" and will "contribute to the further destabilization of the region." The president's announcement might limit the ability of moderate Arab states such as Jordan to support a peace process initiated by the US. It could force Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to walk away from the peace process at a time when his leadership is vital to its success.

Three: The timing is not right.

The president has stated that his administration is working on a plan for a comprehensive peace in the Middle East. Some argue that yesterday's announcement should have been part of this process.

Conclusion: What we should all agree on

Whether we agree or disagree with the president's decision, we should all agree on two biblical facts.

One: Jesus is the only hope for lasting peace.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is difficult to resolve in part because both peoples lay claim to the same holy sites. After millennia of animosity between Jews and Arabs, distrust is deep and difficult to overcome. But Muslims around the world are turning to Christ in unprecedented numbers, many after seeing visions and dreams of Jesus. And missionaries to the Middle East tell me that remarkable numbers of Jews are making Jesus their Messiah as well.

We are all sinners in need of a Savior (Romans 10:13). True peace comes only from the "Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:7). We should intercede daily for spiritual awakening in this conflicted region of the world.

Two: We must "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6). This is a present-tense imperative for all believers.

Have you obeyed God's command yet today?

Far from your conclusion. It is those who do not have a sense of history Christians have or the future that Christians pursue that will think that we are being spiteful. Our main preoccupation is the implication of what this new development portends for the near future which is that the coming of Jesus is at hand. We care less about the sentiments people are bandying about.

You support Trump because u ar a lazy Christian who doesn't read, a gullible Christian. Why don't u read what d Jewish Talmud says about Jesus & Christians before spewing rubbish on a public forum. There is absolutely no camaraderie between Christianity & Judaism.
Judaism is not only d antithesis of Christianity, but also its mortal enemy.

Modern-day Israel is not a Christian nation, rather it is a nation of Judaists who see Jesus as a fake prophet who came to turn people away from God.

Educate urself & understand what d UN & d world majority are saying - Israel must stop being a rogue state & respect d same UN resolution which brought it into being.
Relax! We are not fighting the same war.
No one claims Israel to be a Christian nation. Israel has a Christian heritage because everything about Old Testament is about Jewish ancestry. Christians are in support of Israel not because of Judaism or the just because of the Jews but because of everything about Israel past, present and future concerns us as indicated in the New Testament. We are expecting all these things to happen because we know the sign of the times. All these events are important to us because the coming to Jesus is at hand. No one cares about the political correctness or bitterness that others are fighting about. Like I said earlier, we are not fighting the same war. Our interests are not the same and the end goal are not the same.

SportsArgentine Legend Slams Nigeria by Dotng(op): 3:03pm On Dec 06, 2017
Argentine legend slams Nigeria


Former Argentina midfielder Juan Sebastien Veron has said he is not happy with the Russia 2018 World Cup draw pitting Nigeria against his country in Group D.

Veron, who helped Argentina beat the Super Eagles 1-0 in their group match at the Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup, labelled Nigerian an “unpredictable” team.

Nigeria defeated Argentina 4-2 in a friendly game in Krasnodar, Russia, last month but Veron said the result would not affect the South American nation when both teams play at the World Cup.

“Nigeria is unpredictable. They always come to us in the group. African players are actually unstable and depend on what they have a day before and how they feel ahead of the game,” OwngoalNigeria.com quoted the former Manchester United midfielder as telling Dnevno.

“Croatia is not bad, it has players in strong clubs in Europe. They should not be underestimated. We are stronger than them, but we should be careful.”

A good coach will make his weak rivals feel like Supermen just to throw them off balance. The mind games have begun.
There are no mind games being played here. Argentina is a strong and formidable side that has a rich history and has as an added advantage that the best player in the world is in their team. They are being practical about what they are faced with which does not imply that they are not up to the challenge. It is if they succeed in defeating Nigeria that they will eventually tell us the strategy they used. Even the Argentines are not comfortable with having Nigeria in their group.

‘Unpredictable’ Eagles worry Argentina




Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli admits La Albiceleste face a tough test to overcome Nigeria in their Group D Russia 2018 World Cup clash at the Saint Petersburg Stadium in Saint Petersburg on June 26, but the 57-year-old has revealed what they need to do to earn the desired points from the game.

Other occupants of the group are debutants Iceland and Croatia. The Eagles open their World Cup campaign against Croatia at the Kaliningrad Stadium in Kaliningrad on June 16 before travelling to Volgograd to face Iceland on June 22.

Nigeria handed a surprise 4-2 defeat to two-time champions Argentina in a friendly affair in Krasnodar in Russia on November 14, making three-time Africans champions Eagles favourites to win the Saint Petersburg encounter.

Sampaoli came under huge criticism from the Argentine media and fans over the Krasnodar defeat, which was the White and Sky Blue’s second after beating Nigeria five times in their previous seven meetings.

And Sampaoli, who guided Chile to the 2015 Copa America glory, is wary of the potential threat posed by the Eagles to the South American giants in their Russia 2018 group. But he insists La Albiceleste could prove their superiority over Nigeria by winning the game.

The former Sevilla manager is also worried about the potential threat posed by dark horses Iceland to Argentina’s bid to reach the next round.



“These are rivals that are coming with few obligations and a lot of enthusiasm for a unique opportunity as the World Cup is,” Sampaoli was quoted as saying on La Albiceleste’s official website on Sunday.

“They are going to make us fight but it will depend on us. We need to establish a way and be the Argentina we want to be.

“Iceland will make us work, as everyone else. Nigeria is unpredictable, they are very fast. We need to study them well. Croatia has an excellent midfield line with Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic and Ivan Perisic. They also have (Mario) Manzukic as a No. 9. They are very strong.”

Meanwhile, former Argentina forward Jorge Valdano says he is worried about his country’s chances in the group.

The Mexico ’86 World Cup winner, who guided Real Madrid to the 1995 La Liga title, fears Argentina could be embarrassed in the group.

“It is a worrisome group,” the former Real Madrid striker was quoted by El Universo as saying on Sunday.


“Iceland is a stone, Croatia has a good foot, especially in the centre of the field with players like Modric or Rakitic.”



“Finally, Nigeria just played a friendly match with Argentina in which Argentina clearly lost, so it does not seem like a comfortable group,” Valdano said.

SportsCoaches Hail Tantalising World Cup Draw by Dotng(op): 12:54am On Dec 03, 2017
Coaches hail tantalising World Cup draw



“Nigeria” displayed on screens during the Final Draw for the 2018 World Cup at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow … on Saturday
The coaches of the 2018 World Cup favourites welcomed a draw that keeps most of them apart in the group phase — with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and 2010 winners Spain.

Ronaldo’s Group B battle against Spain and many of his Real Madrid teammates in Sochi on June 15 will be an early highlight of a tournament that was mapped out by Friday’s draw in the Kremlin.


“They are the champions of Europe, they have fantastic players and we are talking about the highest level,” Spain coach Julen Lopetegui told Spanish TV station Cuatro.

Spain, clicking into gear again after under-performing in recent years, were seen as the team to avoid after missing out on a place among the top seeds.

When the hand of Diego Maradona dipped into the glass bowl and pulled out England in Belgium’s Group G — avoiding Brazil, Argentina and Portugal — the English press termed it “the day the Hand of God made amends.” In the 1986 World Cup, the Argentinian infamously scored against England using his hand — and claimed divine intervention had played a role.


Perennial under-achievers England still face a tough encounter with a free-scoring Belgian side featuring Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard, both of whom play in England. Tunisia and debutants Panama complete the group.

“We’ve been good at writing teams off and then getting beaten. We’ve got to be prepared for every game,” said England manager Gareth Southgate.



England could in theory find themselves on a collision course with Germany and Spain if they do not win the group.

Harry Kane and his teammates begin against Tunisia in Volgograd— in a stadium built on one of the main sites of the World War II Battle of Stalingrad — on June 18.

World Cup newcomers Iceland were meanwhile handed a match against Lionel Messi and Argentina on June 16 — a draw coach Heimar Hallgrimsson described as “romantic.”


He said he had already spoken to his scout in Argentina.

“He told me just one thing — number 10,” a laughing Hallgrimsson said in reference to Messi’s number.

The glitzy draw, featuring a short speech from Russian President Vladimir Putin, also laid out potential routes to the final, revealing tantalising prospects such as a Spain versus Argentina quarter-final, and possible semi-finals of Spain against Germany or France versus Brazil.

Ronaldo will be 33 come next year’s finals, meaning this will probably be his last shot at World Cup glory.

Reigning world champions Germany, the much-fancied Brazil of Neymar, and France will all be delighted with their draws, but the prospects appear tougher for Argentina.

Apart from Iceland, they will come up against Croatia and Nigeria in Group D as Messi looks to make up for losing the 2014 final to Germany.



The Barcelona man turns 31 during the tournament, meaning this is probably also his last chance to win the World Cup.

Germany were placed with Mexico, Sweden and South Korea in Group F as Joachim Loew’s men try to become the first nation to retain the title since Brazil in 1962.

“I am certainly not scared,” Loew told ZDF television, but he warned the chasing pack was closing in.



“Other countries have been watching us over the last few years and they have progressed and they have great players. This will be an exciting World Cup.”

Five-time winners Brazil, eager to exorcise the demons of 2014 and their 7-1 semi-final humiliation against Germany on home soil, will expect little trouble in progressing from Group E ahead of Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia.



France coach Didier Deschamps will be confident of winning Group C ahead of Australia, Peru and Denmark.

“Whatever the group, the French team have to qualify for the knockout round and have to finish first in the group,” Deschamps told BeIN Sport.

Australia have been in disarray since qualifying and are now searching for a new coach following the resignation of Ange Postecoglou.



The Socceroos’ assistant coach Ante Milicic was optimistic though.

“Although it’s a difficult group, we believe in ourselves and definitely we can advance from the group,” he said.

Japan face a tough task to finish in the top two of Group H that features Robert Lewandowski’s Poland, Senegal and Colombia.



Japan’s veteran coach Vahid Halilhodzic vowed to avenge his side’s humiliating 4-1 thrashing by Colombia at the 2014 World Cup.

“The Colombia game will be key. For Japan it will be chance to get revenge for the last World Cup,” the firebrand Franco-Bosnian said.

The tournament kicks off when host nation Russia take on Saudi Arabia on June 14 in Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, which will also host the final on July 15.



“I cannot say whether I’m happy or not,” Russia coach Stanislav Cherchesov said, after also drawing Egypt and Uruguay. “We just didn’t want to get Spain from pot two.”

Geo Storm or Geo-Disaster
They are two different movies. I didn't bother to download Geo-Disaster since it seems it had no rating whatsoever.

Geostom 1.5/10..SAMBHOSS no offence but this movie was a total waste of mb.... ..2012 remains the best apocalyptic movie, followed by San Andres
1.5/10! shocked my guy abeg fear God O!
Looks like most people are addicted to the high adrenaline rush of action movies.
What are the different components of movie making that determines the ratings we give movies.
Mind you IMDB, rotten tomatoes, metacritic and others have their different benchmarks.
Can we all identify what makes a movie good, exciting, sensible, logical etc?

While ratings are very important, I don't limit myself to them. The storyline for Geostorm is good enough for me though the plot and execution could have been better.
