Why are Afghanistan Muslims running away from their own countries, the Talliban want full blow Islam sharia law, whats all this noise all about, why are they Afghans afraid of Islam way of life if truly they love Islam,
Generally Muslims are not happy in their own Islamic countries but want to convert the countries they found grace in to Islamic countries they ran from.

They’re not happy in Gaza
They're not happy in Egypt
They're not happy in Libya
They're not happy in Morocco
They're not happy in Iran
They're not happy in Iraq
They're not happy in Yemen
They're not happy in Afghanistan

They're happy in England
They're happy in France
They're happy in Italy
They're happy in Germany
They're happy in Sweden
They're happy in the USA & Canada
They're happy in Norway & India
They're happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!
And who do they blame?
Not Islam...
Not their leadership...
Not themselves...
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!!
And they want to change the countries they're happy in, to be like the countries they came from where they were unhappy.[/b]
Nairaland / General / Born To Rule, Gaba Daya by earleswood(f): 8:58pm On Aug 16, 2021
*AHMED JODA ON THE NORTH*

_May His Soul Rest in Peace_

_A recent lengthy submission from the elder statesman, Ahmed Joda, rested on a telling conclusion:_

Northern Nigeria is not developing its human capital. It also does not have the time to do so anymore. Therefore, it is now ill-equipped to fit into either the knowledge-driven world of today or the new world of tomorrow.

It needs at least 20 years to become significant in any way. But, rather than wake up to this benumbing fact, there is the pursuit of the illusion of dominance.

Meanwhile the people of the region lack the skills for tomorrow, as majority of its youth lack everything that could make them part of a 21st century world.

The major point in Joda’s intervention is that the triumphalism of cattle rearers whose illusion of invulnerability is fuelled and sustained by a national security framework that is skewed to promote insecurity in specific regions of the country will go burst sooner than later.
Confiscation of the headship of institutions of state is not the same thing as creating a “replacement generation” that could be part of a 21st Century world.

Since most of the northern states have abandoned, ungoverned and even ungovernable spaces, its currently consumption-driven elite is really in no position to do anything, beyond maintaining a hollow swagger that is backed by nothing but the fact that they are living mostly in Abuja and floating on free state funds. Look more closely and you will be reminded of what was said of the House of Eli in the Bible: “Any ear that hears” the judgment of The Lord on that household will tingle.

I take us back to an article which appeared on this page on April 17, 2019, titled _“As the North Goes Under.”_ It spoke of a visit to Zamfara State in 2014, which was “at once frightening, sobering and demoralising.” The then “Secretary to the State Government explained how he abandoned his farm and ranch because of cattle rustling and fear for his personal safety.” He confessed that “it was impossible to deploy law enforcement agents, even for himself, in any meaningful way” because they were mostly outnumbered, ill equipped and answerable to Abuja.

Have matters improved in Zamfara State today, or gotten worse, in almost every state of the federation?

Just as the then Zamfara State governor complained that “the misfortunes” of his people centred around “derivation, as a lot of gold was mined in the state and carted away while his people were ravaged by poverty,” many other states are not faring any better.

Look at Bauchi State, with its new MoU on service delivery with development partners. Is that what the state needs at the moment; with its pathetic human development index profile? Is it any different in Jigawa, Kebbi, Sokoto, Kano, Katsina, Edo, Rivers and the others?

Even Northern states with over 30% of their geographical space occupied by marauders have been drafting and implementing budgets and development projects covering these areas, where no one lives.

Elite myopia, leadership illiteracy and abysmal ignorance of both 21st Century leadership and cultural anthropology of the Nigerian state are working together here.

Most of Nigeria’s poor are northerners, even as most high profile political and economically rewarding positions are held by Northerners.

While the South laments the asphyxiation of the Nigerian security infrastructure by its exclusive Northern domination, the very north is being systematically wiped out. Unlike what happened during the mass massacre of Igbos in the 60s, no religion, ethnic, or political affiliation exonerates anyone today.
For once, the North is actually giving the greatest evidence ever in its history of both political illiteracy and failure to follow the rules of self-preservation.

The former leather works sites of many Northern states, clothes factories and groundnut pyramids of Kano and Kaduna, are now like graveyards.

Question: Are leaders of the North, and our leaders of various regions today generally, doing any form of costs/benefits analysis in their expenditures and use of public funds? I think not.

No matter how generous you would like to be in evaluating the situation of the North today, you must come away with the painful conclusion that all might not be well with the people for a long time to come. The trouble is that the collateral damage moving from the North to other regions is now like a sickness unto death, thanks to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

To think that many political leaders who were celebrating their political dominance a few years ago shall henceforth live in full knowledge of what the Mighty Maytones, the reggae singers of the 70s, meant by “weeping and wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth.”

There is hardly any recent event (and I am talking about the last 15 years) in the home, or village, of most Northern politicians where the guests are not usually overwhelmed by at least 100 shabby looking youths, who are either prowling the vicinity, directly affronting guests, or raiding laid out tables. They are looking for nothing other than scraps of edibles and, not even a full meal. And the big men themselves are usually not embarrassed by the spectacle.

And, by the way, Governor Ikpeazu of Abia State took his place in the pantheon of depraved leadership when he personally handed out wraps of Eba and a helping of poor quality soup as COVID-19 palliative to his people. In M.I. Okpara’s State; which was also once governed by Dee Sam Mbakwe? Ejikwa m Ogu o!

The dreadful disconnect between the 21st century and the Nigerian political religious, traditional and even academic elite is palpable.

Has lasting school enrollment or academic performance improved in the North, in the last ten years, even as all the governors are announcing massive “investments” in education?

Has the region shown any real increase in the number of people registering for SSCE, NECO and similar competitive examinations?

If no, then an inevitable implosion will yet come. The current leadership culture of impunity portends ill. As “their people” come from Chad and Niger, their own youths are begging in the streets; or in the forests. Everywhere is turning into a no-man’s-land, where even revered traditional rulers and religious leaders are no longer safe.

A backlash will come when the Sudanese, Chadians and North Africans will suddenly not be so welcome; especially after the Northerners discover that they are displaced in their very homes.

When foreigners are the ones with Nigerian ID cards in the North, when foreigners are voters in the North, when the total number of registered candidates for all competitive examinations from the 19 states of the north continues to stand much lower than that of one particular state in the South, when even the cattle business is now in the hands of roaming bands who have no conception of a brotherhood, the modern state, you will realize what the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, meant by his two books, “Fear and Trembling” and “The Sickness Unto Death.” By then it would already be too late.

As I said then, over a year ago, “…relentless, daily killings are going on in all the northern states, while everyone thinks that power resides in the north. … The northern political elite would seem to have been diligently digging its own grave for quite some time now, but without knowing it. They have allowed a new breed of wild youths, not sufficiently socialised even in line with the ‘Ranka dede’ culture to … to become dominant.

Drugs, poverty, motiveless criminality and rapacious daredevilry have chased all the northern big men to Abuja. But for how long will they be in exile? Is Abuja itself still safe? Are some high profile estates and exclusive neighbourhoods in Abuja not being quietly attacked these days?”

As property rates crash in the North, as investors flee, as local economies collapse, as re-desertification takes over many places, as farmlands and animal husbandry are abandoned, as the proceeds of crime become the new means for the unlettered, the threat to the children of the elite will multiply. The peace of mind of those who had the chance to make a difference but failed to do so will evaporate. The free-band society of cattle herders will collapse before their very eyes, as much of the North is taken over by “degenerate marauders who know nothing about modern statehood, law and order etc.” Is anyone thinking of what to expect in the “very near future”?
But the pretense persists, that “The North” is on course. The CAMA 2020, the Water Resources Bill, the suffocation of institutions of stage by lopsided appointments will deliver nothing lasting. To still conclude on the note of the said article of last year: *_“A region that has the highest allocation from oil revenue, the highest earnings from tax mostly paid by other regions, the highest earning from bunkering and the highest earnings from the illegal mining of gold and other natural resources, is ravaged by poverty, underdevelopment and a burgeoning population of unemployable youths. Is this right? Is this normal?*

*_Is anyone paying attention – as the North goes under?_*

Politics / If The Oil Were In The North by earleswood(f): 7:09pm On Jun 05, 2021
Have you ever imagined if Nigeria's oil and main foreign exchange earner were in the north? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had all the resources and the south was as arid as the desert? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had all the intellectuals and the south had the uneducated population? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had all the industries and the know-how and the south all the beggars? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the Liquefied Natural Gas was in the north? Have you ever thought of what would happen if the north had absolute control of Nigeria's resources in terms of location? Have you sat down to contemplate these questions?

The Nigerian Defense Academy [NDA] is currently in the north [Kaduna], and we have seen how rare defense installations are in the south. Can we expect a similar trend if the oil were in the north? What can we really expect if the north had the knife and the yam, that is, the political leadership and at the same time the oil wealth ON ITS SOIL? Southerners for the past thirty years of northern leadership have to some degree continued to remind the north that the oil is on their soil and as such revenue allocations and concessions must be given to the south. But imagine for a brief second if both power and the oil wealth were in the north---what would happen to the south? How about the north? Even now, the oil proceeds are drawn from the south to develop the north----but just imagine if they had the oil right there in the north which would reduce or eliminate the agitation of southerners for concessions and special allocations. What then would happen to the south? Consider the following;

It [the north] would be paradise and the streets would be made of gold but the streets in the south would be made of mud. They would literally pave a road to heaven and charge souls of southerners on their way to heaven a hefty fee for plying their road;
The oil money would be used to create an ocean in the north, however artificial;
They would call it "REGIONAL RESOURCES" not "NATIONAL RESOURCES";
There would never be a scarcity of fuel in the north, but lots of it in the south;
The southerners would be treated as foreigners more than they are being treated now;


There would be viable infrastructures all over the north and the south, just ramshackled ones;
They would fight for a 50% revenue allocation for each of their oil producing states;
The only pipes that would run from the north to the south would not contain oil but TOXIC MATERIALS;
There would be no refineries in the south as they would say, "NO OIL MEANS---NO NEED FOR REFINERIES";
The "Jesse" fire incident that consumed more than 700 in the Niger Delta last year would not be as there would be enough fuel for everyone;
NNPC national headquarters would be in the north;
More than 95 percent of the managing directors of NNPC would be northerners;
They would import everything-- air, food, meat, etc., with the oil money;
They would lay claim to the leadership of Nigeria more than ever before with the logic that Allah put the oil in the north so they can lead the country both politically and economically;
Qualified southerners would be expatriate workers in their country given short term contracts;
The south would look like a fig leaf, southern Sudan would look like a paradise compared to the south;


The north would continue to raise the bar so that the south would continue to be behind educationally and economically as well,
Development in the south with oil money, UNHEARD OF;
NNPC would mean--NORTHERN NIGERIAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION;
There would be more oil sheikhs in the north than there would be grains of sand in the south;
They would live, breathe and sleep oil;
Babangida would not have changed the name of the national soccer team from The GREEN EAGLES to The SUPER EAGLES as he did in 1988, he would have changed it to the SUPER OILERS OF NIGERIA, with the word "Northern" in small print right before the name "Nigeria";
All oil ministers would be northerners just as all defense ministers had been for the past 20 years;
They would have established a PETROLEUM TRUST FUND [PTF] at the time of independence in 1960 and use the fund to compliment their huge oil-producing states revenue allocation;
They would be champions of the call for a SNC as they would like to make their ever-increasing demands known;
They would declare free education for all northerners to be sponsored by their state governments while the south would continue to struggle with no money to pay even bursary awards;
They would have a powerful and an exclusive oil producing state forum in the north just like the so-called northern governor's forum;


There would be the KADUNA OIL MAFIA to compliment the political Kaduna Mafia currently in existence. The "Oil Mafia" would be the custodian of the oil wealth;
They would have since built a wall around northern Nigeria to make immigration from the south next to impossible, or "better" yet;
THEY WOULD DECLARE INDEPENDENCE AND LEAVE THE SOUTH TO WALLOW IN ITS MISERY. There would be no time for SNC talks, no time for confederacy talks, no time for referandum, just enough time to declare independence and have their oil republic without the infidels.
The Queen would build her winter get away home in Kano and a pipe would be built from the north to the south where her human waste would go directly from her water closet all the way to the south, along with all other waste of the north.
If the oil were in the north, only the divine creator can complete the list above

Romance / Unsure Of New Boyfriend by earleswood(f): 3:52pm On May 23, 2021
I have been seeing a really sweet guy for three months. He is intelligent, fun, considerate, and generous. My issue is that he is a virgin and doesn’t seem very interested in changing that. We are both in our early 30s. I am recently divorced—my husband was a compulsive cheat—and have a 2-year-old son. I have discussed sex with “James” and he said that he originally wanted to wait until marriage for religious reasons, but now doesn’t feel that is necessary, he just wants it to be with the right person. We were making out the other night and I whispered to him how much I wanted him. He said he wanted me, too, but he sounded awkward and unconvincing. He always tells me that we can’t do anything because he doesn’t have condoms, but he hasn’t made any attempts to purchase some. I can tell he is aroused when we kiss, but I’m worried that he just isn’t very interested in sex. That would be tough for me to handle long term. Is it wrong that I expect our relationship to be further along after three months? My friends say I need a man with more heat and passion but I am hesitant to pass up an otherwise great guy.
Please advise as I don't want to squander my time.

It is a case of myiasis, a term used to describe the infestation of a live animal by fly larvae, is rarely reported in human subjects. The adult fly lays its eggs on living tissue that progresses to become larvae that feed on living tissue having gone through three developmental stages known as the first, second and third instar. The larvae become pupae before finally developing into adults.
