we must understand the world not fighting against muslims U.S, west and russia are good friends wif SAUDI, Egypt, morroco and most muslim country that have sharia law and kill u wif that law even if a christian tries to break it But against throught who think they can use an ideology or religiou to carry out and justify there genocide.

The Moslems are only being paranoid although they have a right to be. Their religion has been used as a means to radicalize gullible minds. Whether or not it is being misinterpreted I cannot say.

LUGBE:

Beginning?

The Islamic State terrorist group (ISIS) has
confirmed the death of its leader, Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi, media reported Tuesday, citing an IS
statement.
According to the Al Sumaria News broadcaster, Al-
Baghdadi is dead and his successor will be named
soon.

On June 16, the Russian Defence Ministry said Al-
Baghdadi was likely eliminated as a result of a
Russian Aerospace Forces strike on a militant
command post in the southern suburb of the city of
Raqqa in late May.
The ministry noted that it was in the process of
confirming the information through various
channels.
Al-Baghdadi appeared in the media for the first
time in 2014 when he declared the creation of a
caliphate in the Middle East.

Since then, the media outlets have reported
several times about the death of the IS leader,
though the information has never been confirmed.
NAN reports on June 23, experts said if Al-
Baghdadi is confirmed dead, he is likely to be
succeeded by one of his top two lieutenants.
Iyad Al-Obaidi and Ayad Al-Jumaili, both were
army officers under late Iraqi dictator Saddam
Hussein.

Experts on Islamist groups said they see no clear
successor but regard Al-Obaidi and Al-Jumaili as
the leading contenders, though neither would be
likely to assume Baghdadi’s title of “caliph” or
overall commander of Muslims.
Armed groups fighting in the region and U.S.
officials say they have no evidence he is dead and
many regional officials are skeptical about the
reports of his death.
Obaidi, who is in his 50s, has been serving as war
minister.
Jumaili, who is in his late 40s, is head of the
group’s Amniya security agency.
In April Iraqi state TV said Jumaili had been killed,
but that was not confirmed.
Both joined the Sunni Salafist insurgency in Iraq in
2003, following the U.S.-led invasion which
Saddam and empowered Iraq’s Shi’ite majority.
They have been Baghdadi’s top aides since
airstrikes in 2016 killed his then deputy Abu Ali al-
Anbari, his Chechen war minister Abu Al-Shishani
and his Syrian chief propagandist, Abu Al-Adnani.
“Jumaili recognises Obaidi as his senior but there
is no clear successor and, depending on
conditions, it can be either of the two (who
succeeds Baghdadi),” said Hisham Al-Hashimi,
who advises several Middle East governments on
IS affairs.
Baghdadi awarded himself the title of caliph, the
chief Muslim civil and religious ruler, regarded as
the successor of the Prophet Mohammad, in 2014.
Obaidi or Jumaili would be unlikely to become
caliph because they lack religious standing and
Islamic State has lost much of its territory.
“They don’t belong to the Prophet Mohammed’s
lineage. The group has no longer ‘a land to rule’ or
‘Ardh al-Tamkeen’.
“And none is well versed in Islamic theology,” said
Fadhel Ragheef, another Iraqi expert on the
extremist group.
“A caliph has to have an Ardh al-Tamkeen, which
he rules in accordance with Islamic law. Failing
that, the successor will just be recognized as the
emir,” said Hashimi.
Emir is Arabic for prince, and is a title that jihadists
often use to describe their leaders.
By contrast, Baghdadi, born as Ibrahim Awad al-
Samarrai’ in 1971, comes from a family of
preachers and studied Islamic law in Baghdad.
The appointment of the new leader would require
the approval of an eight-member shoura council,
an advisory body to the caliph. (Sputnik/NAN)

MYNATION POLITICS – T he latest political
news on air as A faction of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in Kaduna
State on Monday passed a vote of no
confidence on the administration of
Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
The information gathered according to report
the faction, which calls itself ‘Akida (True
APC),’ has been at loggerheads with the
governor on politics and governance in the
state.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna,
Maitaimaki Maiyashi, the chairman of the
Executive Committee of the group, said the
state was walking into another cycle of
avoidable crises.
He alleged that two years down the line, the
people of the state have witnessed hardship,
dehumanisation and complete disregard for
their democratic rights.
“The party is deliberately weakened and
virtually ineffective. Mercenaries are hired to
attack individuals and anybody who dares
any opinion meant to add value to public
policy. The only opinion or input respected is
those of hired consultants specifically
recruited from outside the state who do not
even understand our environment and lack
the commitment to address our
developmental priorities,’’ Mr. Maiyashi said
without providing any evidence to
substantiate its claims.
The group alleged that the morale of civil
servants in the state was at its lowest ebb
adding that it was saddening that official
figures put Kaduna State as the second
most indebted state in the country.
Mr. Maiyashi also described the Zaria Water
project commissioned on May 29, 2017 as
the “most classical fraud meant to win
honour fraudulently.”
“We also ask, what is the wisdom in
harassing Kasuwan Barci Traders to build a
Dubai modern shopping mall? What is the
wisdom in auctioning public assets
developed over several decades? What is
the wisdom in destroying community identity
and security such as the mindless sacking
of all district heads and over 4,000 village
heads? What is the wisdom in securing a
huge foreign loan from World Bank when the
state is already heavily burdened with
external loans running into several billion?”
Some of those who attended the conference
were Isa Ashiru, the party’s governorship
aspirant who lost to Mr. El-Rufai during the
2015 primaries; a senator, Shehu Sani; a
chieftain of APC, Yaro Makama; Sule Buba;
Ibrahim Iko, as well as the Chairman, Liberty
Television and Radio, Tijjani Ramalan.

This is picture is a certified meme.

Since the flood is in Lekki, I expect them to take up the matter especially as that is where BIG men live.

dailypost.ng/2017/07/11/lagos-assembly-grill-commissioner-massive-flooding/
The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday summoned the Commissioner for Environment, Babatunde Adejare, to appear before it on Tuesday in respect of the massive flooding on Saturday. Lekki, Victoria Island, Ajah, Ikoyi and Lagos Island, were most affected in the torrential rainfall. The resolution followed a motion moved by Gbolahan Yishawu, the Chairman House Committee on Waterfronts Infrastructures. Yishawu said: “increase in perennial rainfall has wreaked havocs in many states, particularly in Lagos. “The downpour and thunderstorms over the weeks have left hundreds homeless with massive loss of business, incomes. “It has also caused damage to properties and loss of lives. Major roads have been flooded, especially around Ajah, Lekki, Victoria Island and Ikoyi areas of the state.’’ He lament the flagrant​ disregard to environmental and physical planning laws and guidelines in the state.
Many residents have chosen to build illegal structures on drains and water ways, with construction and sand filling works around the Lagoon and waterfront in the state.
“All these have compounded effects of the rainfall,’’ he added. The lawmaker said that the illegal construction, improper disposal of solid waste in canals/gutters and reclamation of wetlands if not urgently checked would continue to cause flooding. “We are aware of the efforts of the state government in abating flooding within the state which includes clearing of drains, expansion and rehabilitation of existing collectors and canals to allow for free flow of water. “The state government as well has carried out several sensitization of members of the public on the dangers of dumping refuse into canal and illegal construction in drainage paths​”,​ he said.

CHOPUP411:
Then force the order back up

Read the write up. He is forcing down "the right kinda order"
CC LALASTICLALA CC MYND44

Mr. Ogbonna Nwuke, was Commissioner of
Information and Communications and later
Commissioner for Commerce and Industry when
Mr. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was governor of
Rivers State. He also represented Etche/Omuma
federal constituency in the House of
Representatives. In this interview, Ogbonna
speaks extensively on the state of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.
Excerpts:


THERE is reported tension in the APC in the state.
In your local government area, you emerged
protem leader of the party’s caucus. What is the
state of things now?


I was only protem chairman to address a
vacuum. Now, we have a substantive chairman
for the caucus. All we wanted then was a change
in leadership, now Mr. Reginald Okwuoma is the
new leader. Politics is driven by interest.
Sometimes in pursuit of the interest, we create
the impression that something is amiss. But I
have a different opinion in my party.
I believe what we see is the expression coming
from the people, voices are saying we want to be
part of the decision, we must participate, voices
are embracing the primary kernel that drives the
APC which is change; we are saying we should
conduct things in the right manner. Politics is
driven by interest and those interest come with
its own conflict. We are progressives, not
conservatives. What you are seeing now is
expected. We are gradually moving to a phase of
political development, so people are offering
themselves for leadership. There is also some
followership within the system.


There is this allegation that the Minister of
Transportation, Mr. Amaechi is forcing down his
opinion on everyone in the party and some say it
is responsible for the tension in the system. Is
this true?

No. What the Minister of Transportation is trying
to force down the line is order, that we need to
rebuild and rebrand our party, that the pursuit of
leadership interest could create problem for the
system, divert attention from the major things we
need to do. After the elections, we sat down to
say we need to look at the party machine, look at
how we conducted ourselves in the last few
years. To place the interest of the party above
every other interest. People are getting it wrong.
Politics can be played. If you have ambition you
mask it until the right time. To be aggressive in
the pursuit of interest can be unwholesome. What
is going on in my party is all about strengthening
the party. I believe the changes in the party are
the changes we need.


Is it true that governorship ticket for 2019, is
tearing your party apart?

People say the journey of one thousand miles
begins with one step. No member of the party has
said in the open that he or she is running for
governorship. When there is inactivity among
politicians they create one, people are talking,
moving but it does not suggest there is crisis in
the party. In political parties, there should be
order. I think what the minister is doing is to
ensure that the ambition of a few of us does not
truncate the prime purpose of the party which is
to grab power. I do not imagine that there is
anything wrong in the party.
The changes you see in the party is part of the
collective decision to reengineer the party, give
room for younger ones to be active in the party. If
you see the changes that have taken place, it
brought in younger persons. This is the time to
give youths room to be active.


Governor Nyesom Wike has accused former
commissioners in that government of being
forced to pay money monthly to Amaechi’s wife.
Did you do such?

It is false. I did not do it, nobody asked me to do
it. Maybe Nyesom, when he was Chief of Staff
collected such money and pretended to have
given it to the governor or his wife.
But let me say nobody ever asked me to give
money to the wife of the former governor. It is not
true, it is not founded and it is not verifiable. I
speak the truth the best way I can. Nobody ever
requested money from me for the wife of the
governor
Pet projects are definable. If you make
contributions to a pet project you see what it is
used for. And it is voluntary. If you don’t have,
nobody forces you. It is wrong for somebody to
come on air as governor to tell lies to score
political points. Like I said I am not aware
anybody made monthly donations to the wife of
the former governor. Amaechi that I know, is a
stickler for transparency. He was concerned
about development of the state. Rivers state was
work in progress during his time. I am amazed
with what Wike said. For him, maybe he is playing
politics. And that is the best way he plays politics.
I do know that there were people who came up
with belly infrastructure. The man in government
today was one of them. Amaechi came from a
humble background and felt he should provide
qualitative education. He declared education
emergency in the state, built schools, sent
students abroad. He created a new generation of
qualified youths. We created Rives state
sustainable development agencies to get a Rivers
state beyond oil, we saw the Songhai farm, the
growth in the agricultural sector under Amaechi.
Government should be a continuum. In two years,
tell me that iconic project that the government of
Rivers state has done. When Amaechi was in
government he would say who started a project
and he completed them Wike wants people to
believe that projects started by Amaechi were his
project just because he completed them. It shows
a man who does not know the line between
decency and selfishness.


Is there anything wrong when another
government completes abandoned projects?
For me that is why I said government is a
continuum. No one government can finish
everything it started. So I don’t see anything
wrong with that. What I see is that you don’t give
credit to the man who started them. Give credit to
whom it is due.

Wike has said he will not revisit the monorail
project started by Amaechi, how do you react?
Amaechi’s government was futuristic with that
project. Let us look at the roads, the expansion of
roads was to open the city and reduce traffic.
Everywhere in the world, you must diversify your
transportation sector. The monorail project was to
be the beginning of an internal rail network for
faster transportation system. Like you see in the
United kingdom, you don’t have need to drive
because of the efficient transport system. If the
governor, in his wisdom, thinks the project is not
necessary so be it for him. But I think I have
heard many said what Amaechi started was the
way to the future. All governments should have
been doing is adding to it and maybe in the next
fifty years we would have had a proper and
thorough rail system.

That is the african mentality for you. The whites keep donating funds, aid(s), food, so much so that the we africans are so much dependent on these but when our fellow african tries to reciprocate with one or two gestures u go begin hear complain.

CROWNWEALTH019:
I doubt if fayose said these things

Finger crossed

See you, Fayose has always been loyal to Tinubu. Check all his press releases and statements. The Jagaban is more powerful than you think.

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has
declared that a Chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu is his leader.
He, however, said he will never decamp to the
party.

The governor, while giving reason for his
declaration said Tinubu was nonpartisan in his
appointments to Yorubas.
Fayose, who is the Chairman, Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Governors Forum made the disclosure
while speaking at the 13th convocation lecture at
the Benson Idahosa University in Benin, the Edo
state.

According to Fayose, “I am the man to watch in
this generation. So, I am controversial because I
am doing things other men like me cannot do. They
are scared. They are afraid; they don’t have
courage.
“What I am saying to you is that controversy is
necessary for democracy. We must have our
voice.
“I am not an APC member and I will never be. But
remember the fact that our leader, Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, a courageous man in his own right,
our leader in Yoruba land, forget about politics, if
they give Asiwaju appointment, he will give a
Yoruba man. Whether he is in the APC does not
matter.
“And I came out strongly; I defended him. I am not
defending politics. I am defending the truth. Our
politics must have where we would stop it and say
the truth as may be necessary.”

The Governor charged Nigerians to watch out for
him, saying he will dare what most men of this
generation can’t do.
Fayose, who also revealed the source of his power,
said he draws strength from the Joshua 9v7 and
also Joshua 1:6-7 in the Bible.

He said, “Some people chose to be under the table;
they don’t want to die. They are afraid.
“But remember that the Bible says that those who
want to gain their life will lose it and those that lose
their life will gain it.
“My strength lies in God Almighty. If you put me
inside running water, the water will become still. If
you put me the den of lions, the teeth, the claws
will go inside; you can find that in the Bible too.”
The governor, while quoting Joshua 1:6-7 and nine
and 17, said: “I draw my power from those things
(Bible passages). When I wake up, I lie down in my
bathroom and say.
“Lord, many are the afflictions of the righteous. But
the Lord God will deliver him from them all.”
Fayose had earlier declared that through God’s
intervention he will emerge as the next President o f
Nigeria.

Fayose also went ahead to reveal how he protested
his father’s decision to donate the only family car
to late tele-evangelist Archbishop Benson Idahosa.

Repairing a server requires just 2 minutes. Once a
server gets old , they’re physically destroyed so
that user data remains private.

About 150 employees work in the data center, but the giant halls are usually empty. Only 1 technician is needed for over 25,000 servers at one location, and they have to move around in the spaces using scooters due to the distances they need to cover.
