Webmasters / Re: Why Google Killed Linda Ikeji (the Real Reason) by Gorrbachev: 2:43pm On Oct 09, 2014
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.

Foreign Affairs / Ancient Prophecies Of Apocalypse Rally Islamic Jihadists by Gorrbachev: 6:40am On Oct 09, 2014
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.

Politics / What Has Jonathan Done For The Yoruba? by Gorrbachev: 9:35pm On Oct 06, 2014
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....

Some of the difficult issues that Fashola has been contending with – using Lagos State funds to do what the Federal Government is statutorily required to do, thus inadvertently creating problems in other socio-economic sectors of the state due to paucity of funds. It is an undeniable fact that President Goodluck Jonathan’s PDP Administration has neglected not just Lagos State, but the entire South-West during his first and second terms. Federal roads in the South-West remain a mess. ..

Fashola’s Administration is not only expanding roads, but has almost completed a Light Railway. The road leading to Ikorodu Town has become a six-lane expressway and is almost completed by the same Fashola. It is a Federal Road, which begins from Jibowu terminating at Garage in Ikorodu.

The tokenism being done on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has already been proved to be a pre-election gimmick targetted to win votes among the gullible..

They often accuse former President Olusegun Obasanjo of sundry ‘crimes’. But it is on record the old man reconstructed and dualised the old Ota – Abeokuta Road. It was also Obasanjo, who effected a bypass on the ever-busy Lagos – Ibadan Expressway that cuts through Ishara from Ode Remo into Ago–Iwoye, thus the ability to access Osun State through Ijebu Igbo using the Four Roads Junction – Araromi Owu Road constructed by Obasanjo. The Ibadan – Ilorin Road stopped where Obasanjo left off. Ilorin – Jebba is NOTHING to write home about. The noise about achievement in the Power Sector is nothing but political 419 as the project remains that of the same Obasanjo, who effected the Papalanto and Omotosho Power Plants among others. Till date, there is NOTHING of substance ANY Yoruba can point to that Jonathan has done for the South-West under his PDP administration.

Let’s even forget about roads, for now. Internal security is 100% Federal responsibility, as it is on the Exclusive Legislative List of the 1999 Constitution. It is on record that Lagos State remains Number One when it comes to providing logistics and other assistance to the police and other security agents as if Fashola is required to be doing so. Funds are appropriated every year for the Police and other security agencies by the National Assembly. Yet, the same agencies are being funded by Fashola without appropriate commendation from the likes of this empty shell.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Nairaland, Seun, politics and the way forward - Cramjones by Gorrbachev: 5:50pm On Oct 06, 2014
cramjones:
Today two very important write ups of mine were deleted, and I felt it will do all of us in e-politics to set the record straight. 2015 is around the corner and we would not want any truncation of politicking on the social media space.

Firstly, it is important to note that once a person is a public officer; either presently serving or once in the past, everything that public officer does is public.

Secondly, once a picture has been posted, and a public officer decides to post that picture himself in a public space, then by no means should this be deleted, because it does not violate any known law of privacy and copyrights as long as it is in public space without any download exception. For example, in my case, I posted a picture of FFK when he was 16 years old playing hockey, 1 hour later FFK himself posted the same picture on his facebook.

Thirdly, on the issue of religion, we must entartain facts and not political correctness. I had earlier posted a topic stating that ISIS and Boko Haram were simply obeying the Quran. I came up with facts from the Holy Quran to corroborate my assertion. It was very clear that the Quran had commanded muslims to behead those who do not practice Islam, the so called infidels. This is by no means an insult to peace loving muslims, it was only stating the fact that ISIS and Boko Haram were only following the teachings of the Quran. Again, I maintain, Islam is a violent religion, but majority of muslims are not violent but peaceful. This is fact and the Quran proves it.

Finally, Nairaland must curtail useless posts by useless individuals; Those who post nudity, gives links to porn videos, and all sorts of madness. At the same time they must learn to tolerate facts and let people engage in intellectual discourse.


God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Travel / Re: FG To Privatise Airports Soon- Vanguard by Gorrbachev: 5:34pm On Oct 06, 2014
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.

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.

Politics / Re: When I Listen To Some Statements … I Feel Sad For Nigeria – Jonathan by Gorrbachev: 4:57am On Sep 29, 2014
oduastates: Error.
Fashola not Nigeria ,was able to fight ebola because Fashola assembled a competent team of aides ,with the assistance of the international community.

Where was he when
1 Fashola was reordering the state's budget to fight ebola

2 Fashola was leading from the front lines

3 Fashola was designating quarantine centres
And sensitising the public

This man thinks we are stupid ,when LAGOS state was offering doctors between $250 - $500 per day to volunteer for ebola duty ,the FG was AWOL with the camera hugging health minister who was giving out useless updates ,was busy claiming Ebola funds were for cars.

I know where he was,
He was hiding in Aso Rock sponsoring some touts under the transmorphication embarassidiots of Nigeria


He should tell us the hospital he built to fight ebola.maybe he thinks that those China made thermometer at the airports is the same as effective control of ebola.
This is leadership.Fashola doing the job of an absentee president.
