Two things I believe if implemented will change this nation into an economic giant.

1. Restructuring of our states and power : Our present states are not economically viable ( the viability am talking about is standing alone without federal allocation) so our present structure of states should be changed. For example LAGOS and OGUN states should be one states. OYO, OSUN,KWARA should be one state, ONDO AND EKITI should be one as well. This will give the states more muscle to take care of themselves without federal allocation.

2. Resource control: each new created state should have control over there resources and the state will be required to give 20% of there income to federal government and state will keep 80%. this will allow state to be rich and to take on big developmental projects without federal funding.

3. Police: each new state should have their own police, why federal police will only handle national threat cases why domestic cases will be taken by state police


4. Building of fence to secure our borders: especially northern borders that are so porous that is a home to most of Nigeria security and sovereign threats.

If one would ask a westerner “Where is
Mount Babel?” They would probably
think the question is regarding a biblical
or an archeological site in Iraq. But if
one asks an Arab today, “where is
Mount Babel?” They would tell you that
its in Mecca and it has 7 massive
buildings on top of it called “The Towers
Of The House” that overlooks the Ka’ba,
Islam’s holiest place.

You read it right.
There is no place on earth today where
stands the largest structure in the world,
used for a religious purpose, all
worshipping in one tongue regardless of
their mother tongue, and is holy to more
than 1.5 billion people on earth that is
called Mount Babel, except the one in
Mecca overlooking the Ka’ba.

“And they said, Go to, let us
build us a city and a tower,
whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make us
a name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the
face of the whole
earth.” (Genesis 11:4)
Al-Sharq Al-Awasat, the prominent
Middle East Newspaper, even names it
as such “Mount Babel,”: this to say
about the massive project that was
completed in Mecca:
“The project Towers Of The
House is the first project in
Mecca … which carry seven
towers … “Towers Of The
House” is on the area of
Mount Babel in Ajyad. The
site overlooks directly on
the Haram al-Sharif (Holy
House [Ka’ba]).”
“is also the largest tower in
the world in terms of area.
Contractor Bin Laden Group,
Saudi Arabia … Classified as
the largest building urban in
terms of the total area on
the face of the globe, where
excess space land for the
project 1.4 million square
meters and consists of 7
towers”.


Instead of waiting to see how the
biblical verses regarding “Mystery
Babylon” is fulfilled, many ill-informed
westerners for centuries attributed the
prophetic verses to the Vatican.
Our latest finding here is infinitesimal.
We have gathered much to shed a new
light to show the differences between
Vatican and Mecca; the evidence is
overwhelming, Mecca fits biblical
Babylon and Vatican doesn’t. For
example (out of hundreds), where in
Vatican do we have “Mount Babel”
which is also an observatory to monitor
the movement of the moon and is called
“Seven Towers of the House”
reminiscent to the ancient name of
Babel, which was called “The house of
the seven lights of the earth”?

Where in the Vatican did they erect the
largest tower on earth topped with a
crescent and has observatories to
monitor the planets and the moon?
Where on Vatican hill, do they have an
edifice decked with gold and silver,
littered with statements that are
biblically considered blasphemous,
treated as if it was a woman, and has a
massive gate made of pure gold that is
literally called Bab-Illah (Babel) “The
Gate to God”?
There is no place on earth that matches
such requirements than Mecca.

In what is probably the least examined
sources in Islam by westerners, that
discusses the Ka’ba as Babel “The Gate
to God,” or Bab-Illah in Arabic, and is
mentioned in the highest authority in
Islam, the Hadith:


“… the Kaaba is the house
of God and God’s sanctuary
is Bab-Illah (the gate to
God), so when they went
there, they stood by the
door in supplication …”
Babel, the English pronunciation, and
Bab-Illah are identical in meaning. The
difference is simply in the accent.
This Bab-Illah (Babel) is also depicted
as a woman in Islam, exactly as John
stated in Revelation 17:3. One Muslim
writes a poem depicting as if the Ka’ba
is a lover and is literally Bab-Illah
(Babel) “the Gate to Allah”. He titles it
“Look at my lover and your lover as she
changes her dress”:


“I tremble in Thy beauty
Yearning to Thy black silk
Thy excellent belt a verse
included
From the Quran a splendid
writ
Granting Thee from Allah’s
throne a high esteem
Which should suffice
He named Thee His Gate
He even loosened from Thy
splendid robe pride
To dress Thee in splendor
and majesty”

Another Muslim describes a Turkish
pilgrim’s experience in the Hajj:

“Ahmed says that he had an
eerie feeling when he saw
the Kaaba in Mecca at first
glance: “This is the house
of Allah!”, These words were
on his mind as he looked to
the Black Stone and beside
it was the door of the house
of Allah: “Is there any door
besides Bab-Illah (Gate to
God)”

The most famous of Muhammadan
poetry by Al-Bosayri in the eleventh
century and then the most prominent
poet in Arab history, Ahmad Shawqi,
who is considered the Prince of poetry,
describes Muhammad as “owning the
key to Bab-Illah (the gate of Allah)”.
Muslim scholar Muhammad Said
Ramadan Al-Buti, prior to his
assassination by the Free Syrian Army
explained the Hajj Pilgrimage as
following:


“You go around the house
of Allah, and you are in His
hospitality. You are
standing at His door,
floating around on the
doorstep. You are not on
the door of the king, nor a
great man. You are at the
door of the Lord of kings.
You are standing before the
door of the creation in
humiliation and indignity.
You stand at Bab-Illah (the
door of Allah’s) pride and
His dignity. Weep since
weeping is joyful there, but
you do not cry, beg to
creature, nor weep in
humiliation in front of a
creature. It’s difficult for the
man that cringes to a
brother or to anyone else.
But on Bab-Illa (the door of
Allah) what is the most
enjoyable is to seclude
myself and drench my
forehead on the cusp of
Allah Almighty, because my
soul in his hand, and my
whole self is his and my
breath is in his hand and
I’m on His doorstep, I tour
around his home saying:
“There is no god but Allah
alone …”

For years, I had to endure listening to
lectures on why Rome is the Harlot
since it sits on seven hills, when truth is
that Vatican City—the city where the
Catholic Church is headquartered—is not
built on seven hills, but on a hill
separate from the seven hills of Rome:
Vatican Hill, which is not even one of
the seven upon which ancient Rome was
built. Those hills are on the east side of
the Tiber river; Vatican Hill is on the
west.
Other cities are known for having been
built on seven hills as well. Istanbul is
known as the City on the Seven Hills,
which – consciously following the model
of Rome – was built on seven hills too.
There are about seventy cities that claim
to be on seven hills, some of which are
Jerusalem, Amman, Tehran, Brussels,
Kiev, Moscow and Madrid.
Yet none of these (including Rome) were
destined for destruction in the Bible, yet
Arabia is (Isaiah 21).
The Bible is also precise and pinpoints a
geographic location for this “Babylon” as
was predicted in Jeremiah 49:21,
literally, “the Red Sea” which confirms
Arabia’s destruction. This is also
confirmed in Revelation 18 regarding the
harlot city:
“And the kings of the earth,
who have committed
fornication and lived
deliciously with her, shall
bewail her, and lament for
her, when they shall see the
smoke of her
burning” (Revelation 18:9).
“And cried when they saw
the smoke of her burning,
saying, ‘What [city is] like
unto this great
city!” (Revelation 18:18).

And once one studies Isaiah 34, there
should be no doubt. In nearly identical
language concerning Mystery Babylon in
Revelation 17, 18:

“Its streams shall be turned
into pitch and its dust into
brimstone; its land shall
become burning pitch. It
shall not be quenched night
or day; its smoke shall
ascend forever” (Isaiah
34:8-10).


Incredibly, almost three millennia before
the discovery of fuel oil, Isaiah predicted
the burning of the very thing that was
used in Babel to build a name for the
rebellious ones – the pitch. Pitch is
bitumen and tar, which technically is
simply crude oil.
This judgment is not against Rome but
“Edom” which extends from Teman to
Dedan:

“Thus Says the Lord GOD;
‘Because that Edom hath
dealt against the house of
Judah by taking vengeance,
and hath greatly offended,
and revenged himself upon
them. ‘Therefore thus Says
the Lord GOD; ‘I will also
stretch out mine hand upon
Edom, and will cutt off man
and beast from it; and I will
make it desolate from
Teman; and they of Dedan
shall fall by the
sword’” (Ezekiel 25:12-13).

The Lord vindicates Rome. He has made
the geographical location of Mystery
Babylon quite clear for anyone who
would seek it out.
This destruction of Arabia is complete
and fits the description made by several
prophets whose prophecies correlate
with Isaiah 34:
“Therefore in one day her
plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning, and
famine. She will be
consumed by fire, for mighty
is the Lord God who judges
her. When the kings of the
earth who committed
adultery with her and shared
her luxury see the smoke of
her burning, they will weep
and mourn over her.
Terrified at her torment,
they will stand far off and
cry: ‘Woe! Woe, O great city,
O Babylon, city of power! In
one hour your doom has
come! … Every sea captain,
and all who travel by ship,
the sailors, and all who earn
their living from the sea, will
stand far off. When they see
the smoke of her burning,
they will exclaim, ‘Was there
ever a city like this great
city?’” (Revelation 18:8-10,
17-18).

Apart from Sodom and Gomarrah, this
type of utter destruction has never been
seen in any other city, including
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “After her
destruction, Babylon will merely be a
home for demons, evil spirits, and
scavenging desert creatures” (Revelation
18:1-2).

This is in line with the ancient Eastern
perception that desolate desert
wastelands were the dwelling place of
demons and unclean spirits. The point
being emphasized is that after Babylon
is destroyed, there will be absolutely no
human life ever found there again.
Jeremiah agrees; he describes this:


So desert creatures and
hyenas will live there, and
there the owl will dwell. It
will never again be inhabited
or lived in from generation
to generation” (Jeremiah
50:39). Isaiah confirms a
similar fate: “It shall be a
habitation of
jackals” (Isaiah 34:14).
And again later, the destruction of
Babylon is described as being absolute.
Isaiah speaks of this event:

The broom of destruction! Anyone who
has seen footage of a nuclear explosion
has seen the fury and the power of the
ominous cloud that sweeps up
everything in its path.

Saudi Arabia, the nation that allowed the Islamist boogeyman out of the box is now trying to shove it back in. According to a Reuters, Saudi Arabia was rattled by regional turmoil that has destabilized the Middle East. Saudi Arabia now is not only intensifying a crackdown on Siites, liberal reformers, atheists and human rights advocates but even Sunni Islamists. One activist has described it as an “undeclared state of emergency”. Saudi Arabia believes it is under attack as never before, say analysts with close ties to the kingdom’s elite, and sees Syria’s civil war and Egypt’s political crisis as posing a domestic threat. Responding to these perceived threats, Saudi Arabia has passed a set of laws that banned citizens from fighting abroad, donating money to any faction in Syria or sympathizing with militant ideologies. Islamists from the kingdom’s conservative Sunni majority are the main focus of government unease, most clearly via a decree that branded the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Amplifying Saudi worries about Syria and Egypt, the kingdom’s rulers feel surrounded by chaos: Iraq is still torn by sectarian violence while political turmoil casts a shadow over two of the kingdom’s other neighbors. The problem with the Muslim Brotherhood could complicate their policy in Egypt, that besides their most important Arab ally against a common main rival, Shi’ite Iran. After all it was Arabia—which Islam emanates from and its harlot religion is spread throughout the entire region. It was Arabia which produced Muhammad, Arabia’s prophet. From a prophetic perspective, we see the impending destruction of Saudi Arabia. The kings stagger in their vomit as a drunkard not knowing what to do. Shoebat.com takes the position that Revelation 17 referenced Arabia as a prostitute “LovePeddler of Babylon”. Arabia after all stems from ancient Babylon. This is no coincidence: “And the woman (LovePeddler) was arrayed in purple and scarlet color” (v. 17) resembles the near copulating with the Kaaba’s Black Stone, which historically was dedicated to Aphrodite the prostitute goddess that was called “Aphrodite Porne” (Aphrodite the Prostitute), “the goddess adorned in purple”, similar to the depictions given in Revelation 17:4. Many in the West believe that such a harlot was depicting Rome. But such analysis is impossible. Arabia links to the founder of the Islamic religion, which according to John 2:22 “denies Father and Son”. Rome still declares both Father and Son. People find seeming resemblance between Rome and Revelation (i.e scarlet robes, seven hills of Rome), but when examining all the differences, such findings run into trouble. From religion, to geographic references and literal names of locations, Rome fails the test. John was taken to a desert and Arabia is mentioned clearly with reference to Babylon (Isaiah 21). It was Muhammad, from Arabia, and not the popes of Rome who claimed to have ascended to heaven, to the most high as Antichrist claimed in Isaiah 14, “For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven …” It was Arabia and not Rome that “No Arab will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flocks there” (Isaiah 13:20). This cannot be attributed to any other area since Arabs must pitch their tents in Arabia. The ultimate fulfillment of this verse is the destruction of the Last- Days Babylon. We know this because the passage speaks about: “the day of the Lord” (v. 9) with the “heavens not giving light” (v. 10). This is not historical, but End-Times related.


Muhammad and not the Popes, qualify, for he “denies Father and Son” (1 John 2:22) and claimed in his Al-Isra’ Wal- Mi’raj to have “ascended to heaven” (Isaiah 14:13) reaching the seventh heaven claiming, as it says in Isaiah 14:13, “You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God” and is how Muhammad described his journey claiming to meet God who ordered him to rule over all of mankind, angels and the whole multitudes of demons. (1) Muhammad also claimed to be Khalifat- u-Allah (Vicar of God) (2) adapting the title of Vicar. And lest we think that such ascension to heaven is strictly Lucifer, the Bible shows that such manifestation is regarding Antichrist, the Bible adds, “Is this the man who made the earth tremble?” (v. 16) This angel has manifested in a man. Antichrist claims to have ascended to heaven; “you have said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven” (v. 13). In Islam, the Mahdi would have Muhamma’d spirit. Lucifer is cast down to earth to possess this man of sin who stems from the seat of Antichrist, Pergamum, which is in Turkey (Revelation 2:12-13), not Rome. The Antichrist kingdom will eventually destroy Saudi Arabia. Iran “feet of the bear” (see Revelation 13) will destroy it (See Isaiah 21) and the heavens will rejoice avenging the blood of the saints. Even in Islam, the Hadith speaks of the destruction of the Kaaba by Muslims when the construction buildings in it would reach the hight of the mountains. This is how the Muslim enemies of Saudi Arabia views the buildings and the Tower which is one of the most grandure highest tower in the world. Shoebat.com obtained their views from their own most reputable sources: “I was taking reins Abdullah bin Amr’s animal when he said: “How will it be when you [Muslims] will tear down the house and not let one stone remain on another?” They asked: Will this be while we are still Muslim? He said: “Indeed, while you are Muslim,” Then what? He said: “Then it would be rebuilt better than it was before and when you see Mecca digging underground channels and constructing buildings above the tops of the mountains , know that it is near.” (3) The Arabic for digging the channels, is Bu’ijat Kathaim, which is interpreted as “wells dug in the ground in a patterm in which some of these tunnels interconnect with each other and the water is gathered to its end to spill on the surface of the earth. It is also said to be irrigation.” (4) Such declarations already circulate the Muslim world, that Muslims themselves will destroy Mecca as declared by the Islamic Hadith. The lavish construction by the Royal family of Saudi Arabia is only infuriating Muslims globally. Saudi luxury has caused Muslims to turn on the Royal family. As we have seen reported countless times, Saudi Arabia fears Iran’s nuclear buildup. We find no such situation leveled at Rome. For the Harlot to be Rome, the beast (Europe) must burn her. While we see the impending danger on Arabia, we see no impending danger on Rome, except of course, from what Islam threatens to invade it in the future. For that read what we have written [here ]. If the destruction of Rome by Muslims is the view of many in church circles, will these then praise Islam for destroying Rome by the sycophants of Arabia’s Islam? Do these think that Islam will spare them in the end? We each have to make a choice. Choose wisely.

This year the ‘Big fish’ was seen on varying international stages performing alongside international stars such as Usher, Mary J. Blige, Gwen Stefani, Akon and such others. D’banj was more into the celebration of his 10th year aniversary which probably saw him honoured with the MTV MAMA Evolution Award. D’banj was in the media at every quarter of the year even as he kept releasing songs and visuals from his ‘An Epic Journey’ EP which featured quite a number of international acts. Bangalee charges about N8M to N9M per show but his earnings this year were majorly saved by the different endorsement deals he’s got.

.. 4. DON JAZZY:




. For the man with the midas touch, Don Jazzy, 2015 was one of a tremendous personal growth, spinning into an artiste on his own right with show stopping hooks at every turn and features. Endorsement for the Mavin Boss came in fast with Nigeria’s largest online retail store, Konga.com and thick with the classy liquor brand, Johnnie Walker pitching their tents with him, which adds to the renewed and probably reviewed contract deal with MTN while the Loya Milk endorsement still stands. To crown it all, Access Bank partnered with his record label, Mavin Records to host their first ever concert tagged ‘Access Mavin’ which held on December 23, 2015.

3. WIZKID:

Running up the third spot on the chart of the highest earners for the year is wizkid. He’s known around the world as a hit maker who goes home with a pay cheque between N6M – N8M after a show. Wizkid is estimated to cover between 10-12 shows monthly, home and abroad. This year the star singer snagged a new endorsement deal with Nigeria’s Telecoms giant, Glo of a N128M worth. Also got his Pepsi $350k endorsement deal renewed. Wizkid also made earnings from iTunes sale this year with his latest hit single (Baba Nla)-Final topping the Nigerian chart at $1.29. Afro pop star had his name all glued to the media, Not just having international stars bopping and dancing to his jam but ranking above many of them on the 12th spot of the world’s biggest song of 2015 with Ojuelegba remix featuring Drake and Skepta according to Fader. With this weight of achievements and acquired wealth, Wizkid can now be officially called WizFather.

2. PSQUARE:


Sitting on the number 2 spot of the highest earners of 2015 is the Africa’s Artiste of the decade, Psquare as awarded by MTV MAMA 2015. After speculations that the singing duo might be on the low in the year after they’ve made massive sales on the hit single “Collabo” ft Don Jazzy, the giant group were constantly cashing out from international shows, Starting with their Summer tour in US and Canada and then proceeding to England. Fans heavily criticised their performance at the Presidential Inauguration in Morocco while they were getting more recognition and adding more zeros to their pay. The duo have shown overtime that they don’t settle for less as they charge between N9-10M per show within Nigeria and about $200k outside Nigeria. Before finally retiring home, they acquired a 3rd house in Atlanta. Coming back home, Psquare was welcomed with mouth watering deal from Glo with its worth amounting to N140M accompanied by a gift of luxurious cars each ( Range Rover and Benz G-wagon). For the sake of their consistency, they received MTV MAMA Best Group award.

1. OLAMIDE:


Topping the chart is the fearless and craziest rapper in Nigeria, argurably the most consistent in the last 5 years and of course the hottest artiste in the year 2015. You can dance to this; Shutdown concert in Lagos-1, shutdown concert in Malay-2, Shutdown concert in Yankee-3, Shutdown concert in London-4…and not to mention his recently concluded OLIC2. Olamide all through the year was smoking hot and having his shows sold out same way iced water will sell in hell is already a tradition for him. The rapper had his contract with Etisalat and Guiness renewed, while adding a new deal with Nigeria based Online betting company, Surebet24/7 reportedly worth N20M. With a pay cheque of about N6M per show, Olamide makes alot of earnings from shows as he’s estimated to cover between 12-16 shows monthly. Olamide’s personality might not be all glued to the media in 2015, but surely his songs never let his name down in the media. He’s got heavy record sales on iTunes making his newly released album, Eyan Mayweather the only Nigerian Album that Kicked down Adele’s 25 album from the number one spot in it’s first week of release. His proteges, most especially Lil’kesh must have also earned him alot in 2015

Music has been a means to heavy wealth in Nigeria and the year 2015 in retrospect has been a great year for entertainers in the industry, with many talented and creative singers going on international tours, getting international recognitions, making huge record sales, bagging awards and snagging different endorsement deals, it is safe to say 2015 was indeed a success for many Nigerian artistes. Of course Nigerian musicians are known for their flamboyant lifestyles, especially with some flaunting their wealth publicly, but not all of them are as wealthy as they appear. The question is who really acquired the wealth this year among these guys? Most Nigerians have been made to believe a very non-sensible list rendered by other popular Nigerian websites where a Nigerian artiste will be rating as much as $200M. We can boldly say most of these ratings are false as no Nigerian artiste has been recorded to reveal or declare his/her assets. Greennews.ng have decided to put out facts in correction to the very wrong and bad rating of Nigeria’s richest musicians mostly found online, thereby releasing the list of highest paid musicians for the year considering the following factors; => First consider the kind of situation the artist is in, signed to a label or on his/her own? => Number of hit songs the artist released and the sales of these songs on Itunes => The status of the artist in the media => How much the artiste charges for shows => How often does he or she go to shows => How many tours he or she went to and how much crowd it pulled => Did the artist release an album? if yes, did it sell well in the market and on iTunes? => The number of endorsements and how huge is the money?

FASHOLA my role model, i pray that God will give you the strength and wisdom to drive and to perform excellently in all this ministries. one love . naija o ni baje.

timi dakolo all d way. his wife is cute

i really miss him,he was my mentor, my role model, he has shown Nigeria what good leadership means,he has an oratory skills, though he may not be perfect in all things but he did his own bit. on like this slow motion Ambode. only God know what he did before being elected. since the time he was swore in all kind of accident has been happening in Lagos,only God can save us.

Thirteen charges .... if they pursue this case to the latter, more of his evil deed will show. Firstly we don't want him as our senate president. Corruption incorporated family.

there is no job security in our country, all the foreign company especially those own by Indian are wicked and they treat their employee as a shit.

is true because most advance country of the world like U.S. has classified most Muslim country as a terrorist country.

JAH ELI KAI, am ok sir

film trick. kids don't try this at home

Republican presidential candidate Ben
Carson participates in the first prime-
time GOP debate hosted by Fox News
and Facebook at the Quicken Loans
Arena in Cleveland on Thursday.




When the top 10 Republican presidential
candidates took the stage for the first
prime-time GOP debate Thursday
night, they were all hoping to stand out.
But two hours later, it wasn't the loudest
or meanest men who some said had
made the most impact. It was Dr. Ben
Carson, who spoke calmly from his
lectern three spots in from the left and
grabbed the attention of thousands.
In a debate with no official
winner, Carson seemed to come out on
top. His jokes, comments on race and
references to medical expertise went
over well and earned him 24,000 new
Twitter followers and 230,000 Facebook
fans, the most of any candidate. A One
America News Network poll found that
22 percent of respondents thought he
won the debate, and 80 percent of them
said they had a more favorable opinion
of Carson after the event.
This could indicate that the debate was
many people's first introduction to
Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon
who spent 29 years working at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. So here's
a refresher on who he is.




Carson, now 63, grew up in Detroit in a
single-mother household. He was bad
student and had anger problems, even at
one point trying to stab a friend over
which radio station they should listen to.
To remedy this, Carson turned to
psychology and faith. He learned to keep
his temper under control.
He attended Yale University and earned
a degree in psychology, then proceeded
to the University of Michigan to get his
medical degree. Carson did his residency
at Johns Hopkins University and stayed
on afterward. He later became the first
surgeon to successfully separate twins
conjoined at the head.
Carson didn't really enter the political
scene until 2013, when he stood up at
President Barack Obama's National
Prayer Breakfast and criticized him for
nearly a half-hour. Carson took on
healthcare, education, national debt and
political correctness, among other topics.
"We’ve reached a point where people are
actually afraid to talk about what they
want to say, because somebody might be
offended,” Carson said. “We’ve got to get
over this sensitivity and it keeps people
from saying what they really believe."
He joined the Republican Party a year
later and announced his presidential
campaign in May. He entered Thursday's
debate in fifth place, with support from
5.8 percent of likely GOP primary voters.


Carson took the spotlight during the
debate for his humor, which included a
comment to Fox News host Megyn Kelly
that he wasn't sure he'd get to speak
after she called on other candidates for
40 minutes. Carson talked for 6 minutes,
28 seconds total -- less time than former
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and businessman
Donald Trump. He sidestepped a
question on the ethics of torture and
said he wanted to strengthen the
military. Carson also turned heads when
he said he doubted Democratic front-
runner Hillary Clinton would be the
rival party's nominee.
At one point, Kelly asked Carson -- a
black man -- what he would do to heal
the racial divide in the United States. He
said he didn't like that every incident
between two people of different races
turned into a "race war" because it drove
people apart. Carson added that he
didn't discuss the issue often because of
his profession.
"When I take someone to the operating
room, I'm actually operating on the
thing that makes them who they are," he
said. "The skin doesn't make them who
they are, the hair doesn't make them
who they are, and it's time for us to
move beyond that because -- you know,
our strength as a nation comes in our
unity."
He invoked his medical experience in his
closing remarks, as well. Carson said he
should stand out among the candidates
because he's the only one who'd
surgically removed half of a brain --
"although you would think if you go to
Washington someone had beaten me to
it," he joked.
In a statement posted to Facebook on
Friday morning, Carson seemed happily
surprised by his sudden popularity.
"What can I say, Cleveland Rocks!" he
wrote. "Last night something amazing
happened."
