Was the whole thing a stunt to get more people to read her blog. What do you think? |
Op pack well. Linda is a threat to google? SMH. Do you know how many times her adsense account has been suspended? Anytime they suspend her account, she'll insult them and few weeks later after cleaning up the blog, she is back using adsense again. As to why nairaland can never have adsense? The basic structure of nairaland violates adsense's TOS. Compare nairaland to reddit, on reddit only the link to a story is posted on the forum then forum members discuss, contribute argue etc. reddit can't be accused of plagiarism. |

CAIRO: An infidel horde flying 80 banners meets a Muslim army at the Syrian town of Dabiq in an apocalyptic battle. The Muslims are decimated but ultimately prevail, ushering in the end of days. This ancient Sunni Muslim prophecy — mentioned in canonical accounts of the Prophet Mohammed’s sayings — has become a rallying cry for Islamic State jihadists in Iraq and Syria, especially since they seized Dabiq in August. The town itself has negligible military value compared with the strategic IS-controlled cities of Raqa in Syria and Mosul in Iraq. But as IS jihadists come under a US-led aerial onslaught to stop their advance, its importance as a symbol has become clear. “It raises morale,” said Shadi Hamid, a fellow at the Brookings Institute. “It is fair to assume that the vast majority of (IS) fighters believe in this type of talk.” Among IS supporters on social media, Dabiq has become a byword for a struggle against the West, with Washington and its allies bombing jihadists portrayed as modern-day Crusaders. IS has even named its official magazine simply “Dabiq”. “The lions of Islam have raised the banner of the Caliphate in Dabiq,” one Tunisian IS supporter wrote recently on Twitter. “Now they await the arrival of the Crusader army.” The prophecy has been passed down in different versions, but in all cases it features a great battle between a Muslim army and the forces of non-believers. Recent weeks have seen IS supporters interpreting a wide range of events as further evidence of its truth. Some keep a close count of the US-led coalition’s members — now at more than 60 countries — in anticipation of when the prophecy’s “80 banners” are reached. Others have interpreted comments by top US General Martin Dempsey on the possible need for ground forces as a signal of the foretold battle, writing on Twitter using the hashtag: “It is Dabiq, by God.” The foretold ‘caliphate’ One IS supporter wrote on Twitter: “When you despair of your air power, you will find us waiting in Dabiq.” Some versions of the prophecy mention the Muslim army moving on after the great battle to take Constantinople, the former capital of the Christian Byzantines and present-day Istanbul. When Turkey decided last week to join the fight against the jihadists, that too was greeted as an omen by some IS supporters. Prophecy has played a role in the movement’s ideology since its early days as Al-Qaeda in Iraq under Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Before Zarqawi was killed in Iraq in a US airstrike in 2006 — and long before his movement evolved into IS — he was already referring to the epic battle in Dabiq. “The spark has been ignited in Iraq, and its flames will grow until they burn the Crusader armies in Dabiq,” he once said. When IS earlier this year seized large parts of Iraq and proclaimed its current leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as “caliph”, it again turned to prophecy to rally supporters to its cause. One of Mohammed’s prophecies is of the rise of a “caliphate on the path of the Prophet” and shortly before the proclamation IS spokesman Abu Mohamed al-Adnani pledged that “God’s promise” was imminent. Some IS supporters on social media have rallied behind Baghdadi as the foretold caliph, but have been more circumspect regarding the advent of the battle in Dabiq. “God knows, maybe. The hadith (prophetic saying) says they will fight you under 80 banners. At the moment there’s 60 banners I think,” said a British IS fighter in Syria in a private message to AFP on Twitter. “It could happen now; it could happen in the future,” said Anjem Choudary, a radical British Islamist preacher who has expressed support for IS. “I don’t think any Muslim strives to bring it about,” he said of the battle in Dabiq.Yet some IS supporters are convinced the destined battle is near. “Dabiq will happen for certain. The US and its allies will descend on Syria once they see that the air campaign has failed. That is a promise by God and his Messenger,” wrote one on Twitter. Source - AFP |

publicenemy: sammieguze:Dippy folks, Buhari does not have the money to pay any supporter and why was he brought into the conversation here. What is it about that guy you people are scared of? The question remains, What has the useless embarrassment of the fellow in aso-rock done for Yoruba people? |
President Goodluck Jonathan’s PDP Administration has neglected not just Lagos State, but other states in the South-West for partisan political reasons, and concentrated on other places.... |

The highways should be privatised via concessions and tolled too. If this is done, Nigerians can sue the companies for potholes, accidents and take home good money. Nigerians will be able to sue the airport management for dirty toilets and bakery like conditions, you can even sue them for slipping on a wet floor and injuring yourself. If we are a capitalist country, lets go all out for it. |
If you live in Nigeria, you probably eat halal meat everyday. |

nenergy: 2. Your Lifestyle: I consider it economic recklessness to carry a smart of N50,000 in your pocket while struggling for a bus of N50 at iyana Ipaja, Lagos or buying an iPhone 6 and charging it with an “I pass my neighbour” electric generating set? If your smart phone doesn’t correlate with you lifestyle, people might be force to ask you; “who died?” when it is stolen, misplaced or damaged beyond repair. ![]() |

Op do you live in Jos? The only place i've ever seen an apple tree in Nigeria in the house of a University of Jos lecturer in the early-mid 90s when i just started primary school. |
Tongue out to those that voted Fasoye back. The streets have been cleared. [img]http://1.bp..com/-z6H0GRkutrg/VCVFpGxIcGI/AAAAAAAAB7g/2PUZ2KWYAfU/s1600/Ado%2BEkiti2.jpg[/img] [img]http://1.bp..com/-rUBCrPU6kFQ/VCVI_tiSUGI/AAAAAAAAB7s/Hq2z-5ZSzYc/s1600/Ado%2BEkiti1.jpg[/img] |
irepnaija4eva: . WHAT IS THIs 1 TALKING ABOUT?Let's make our own weapons. Filipinos and Pakistanis reverse engineer every small arm you can think of. |
Yet we have faculty of engineering in almost every University and polytechnic in this country. Even those block heads in NDA will call themselves army engineers. mediocre evil black race trying to buy weapons in the middle of the night. On the other hand, You don't know what they know: Our government has shown signs of being capable of ethnic cleansing, the government is not sincere. People with Ebola character walk in and out of Aso-rock nowadays. |
South Africans think there is a conspiracy against their people without knowing those that lost their lives are just unfortunate victims of Nigerian corruption (cutting corners to cut cost). Our Xenophobia has not reached the South African level, it was an accident that could have been avoided if the building was built right, so give us back our 10 Milla, though it will be stolen again. ![]() |

Beware!!! the government might want to use that stadium to divert attention. Go to the national stadium at your own peril. Boko-haram attacked the SSS HQ, right in the middle of Abuja few meters from the supposed fortified/militarized Aso-rock. If you go to the stadium and you get hurt, you are on your own. |
