on the morning of Thursday, April 10, 2003, Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon prepared a top-secret briefing for George W. Bush. This document, known as the Worldwide Intelligence Update, was a daily digest of critical military intelligence so classified that it circulated among only a handful of Pentagon leaders and the president; Rumsfeld himself often delivered it, by hand, to the White House. The briefing's cover sheet generally featured triumphant, color images from the previous days' war efforts: On this particular morning, it showed the statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down in Firdos Square, a grateful Iraqi child kissing an American soldier, and jubilant crowds thronging the streets of newly liberated Baghdad. And above these images, and just below the headline secretary of defense, was a quote that may have raised some eyebrows. It came from the Bible, from the book of Psalms: "Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him…To deliver their soul from death."

How about that for claiming all Christians from Gods own country - that sent their army to war in Iraq on convictions of a man at the position of Defense secretary at the time - are terrorist.

Or that does not count since it was only written and not said, or because lets say the man did it in a civilised manner, you know it was only soldiers that were sent.

Kobojunkie go and continue with that software project u've been written in the programming section, which av been following to see where you would get to - and leave politics to those who don't scratch issues on the surface.

yeswecan:
a typical Islamic terrorist, i don't know what Ikomi and his cronies are trying to twist

Very good question.

The man is a terrorist no doubt, the man committed a crime punishable only by spending the rest of his life in prison, but to condemn all Muslims or Islam for this act or any other is not right.

Come to think of it, what is the US doing in Iraq? Do you know how many civilians have died due to the invasion of Iraq? Now how many Christians has been condemned due to this invasion of Iraq, since the nation that perpetrated this act of national terrorism claims to be Gods own country.

When you've answered this question am sure you would agree with me that we have terrorist on different scales, but to condemned all the followers of a religion for the act of terrorism is wrong.

So you see that word highlited in Red is where we agree, but the one in green is where we disagree.

Tayo-D:
Na true you talk o. I better take that back before PETA sues me as well. If they do, I'll probably plead innocence by reason of insanity. Will you be so kind as to vouch for my insanity in court?

JeSoul:
In addition, I am certain Ikomi and others will be more than happy to testify to the above for you too

Infact I would work for free, arguing left, right and center with enormous facts.

davidylan:
That's too far . . . i found out about 9-11 from the muslims crowded around my door that morning celebrating the fall of the twin towers. That was the moment i went from being a naive, "tolerant" fellow to one who passionately despises islam and all it stands for. That was the moment i realised that islam = death.

But allahu akbar all the same.

Noooooooooo. The people crowded outside your door are the "tolerant" naive muslims.

I guess they should have blown you sky high, then and only then, I Ikomi would have finally shouted allahu akbar all the same.

pres-elect:
happening now, another shooting in orlando florida. 2 ppeople are dead already and the ''show'' is not over. the news designates the shooter as a ''gunman'' . . . .
perhaps if it turns out that he is a muslim, his identity will change to terrorist.

No be small thing.

0sisi:
interesting
so the man was fighting a jihad without abuzola his armor bearer

0sisi:
There is now evidence that the man was angry about shipping to Iraq to kill his fellow Muslims
Hmm
Jihad in the army

JeSoul:
99% of terrorist attacks are perpetrated by muslims and/or are jihad related -

JeSoul:
'All' terrorists so far have been muslims BUT not all muslims are terrorists. And no amount of political correctness can soften that truth.

0sisi:
They should have concentrated and pumped him with at least 72 bullets,one for each virgin

yeswecan:
I am not surprised first he is a Muslim/ opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is there another name for this apart from Jihad? This week an Afghanistan police under training opened fire and killed five British soldiers, this guy has been under training with them for long and he suddenly killed the Soldiers and ran.

Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

Or should we just say "when the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a ditch"   

Three blind mice. 

All in the name of Religion.

0sisi:
Is this jihad related?
an Islamic terrorist attack?
we are yet to find out

ah ah, good to see u. Keee kwanu?

Sanusi should go back to his cave. Deregulation is the way to go, let the Govt mind their sole business of price regulation.

Ibime:
hehehehehe. . . . . niggas will do anything to get their hands on a pair of titties.

I think you should look at it as another form of social correctnes.

Why should flat women make vulnarable men think they are busty. You tell me.

There next move should be on make ups and hair extensions, I myself am tired of make believes. No woman is ugly these days.

I mean there was a time when you could look a woman in the face and without a second thought you could say "that girl is ugly", and the whole neighbourhood would agree with you.

You just dont say that anymore, cause the next minute she could come out looking gorgeous all because of make ups.

Does anyone know if the Al Shabaab by any chance need a volunteer?

Send the news to his desk.

is he?

Some people said while it was allowed under Islamic law, they were concerned about the age gap, but others were happy that age was not a barrier to love.

Altogether, Mr Dore has 114 children and grandchildren. His oldest son is 80 years old and three of his wives have died.

He says he hopes his new bride will give him more children.

"It is a blessing to have someone you love to take care of you," he said.

The man has got a village to his name and you don't think thats lucky? His got it all in the family, the good, the bad and the ugly.

"I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love; and then we agreed to marry," the groom said.

The luckiest man in the world.

Senegal has confirmed it gave money to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) official this month, after days of speculation in local media.

Officials had earlier denied money had changed hands but then said Alex Segura was given almost $200,000 (£122,000) at the end of his three-year posting.

Prime Minister Souleymane Ndene Ndiaye said it was a goodbye present - part of an African tradition.

The IMF said Mr Segura had returned the money as soon as he could.

The fund said in a statement Mr Segura was given the present after a dinner with President Abdoulaye Wade, but did not realise the gift was money until he was about to leave the country for Barcelona.

"With Mr Segura worried about missing his flight, and concerned that there was no place to leave the money safely in Senegal, he decided to take the money aboard the plane," Reuters quoted the IMF as saying.

The cash was handed over to Senegal's ambassador in Spain.

The BBC's Hamadou Tidiane Sy, in Dakar, says the affair has been dominating news headlines all week in Senegal.

He says Senegalese want to know why an IMF official was allowed to leave the country with so much money, and they also want to see whether anyone will be punished.

The president has not commented on the affair, but Mr Ndiaye admitted the gift was given, while denying corruption.

"We in Africa have a tradition - when someone visits you, you give him a gift at departure," he told local media.

Africa my Africa, I wish he would give me a gift.

throttler:
nope ikomi, me nor gree with you o

how comfortable does that thing look, if you trip and fall on it, that thing will impale(?) you o!

You have a point there, she might need to add some airbags. 

Airbags as a solution would be another problem, so women would be carrying around 2 milkshakes and 2 airbags. Would the idea cut off breast enhancement as well? Since with airbags most women would look massive anyway.

Look throttler am getting a bit confused now. You see am not in the best position to judge this thing.

If the whole idea of a calabash is that bad, I think we should send her a warning to stop describing Cameroon as the country next to Nigeria.

The British might think we all come up with dumb ideas, and thats why we live next to each other.

I think we are getting somewhere, that is why it is good to discuss these things. 

I think this is a very great invention, for 4 reasons.

1. Men who always give women a hug just to have a feel would have something else coming.

2. The breasts would have a lot of wiggle room. I am not an expert in this, but if I was a breast I would quite like the fact that am in a container that gives me space to move about rather than those tight, sweaty clothes.

3. It would stop groping, I mean who would always want to hit a calabash. In case you dont know groping is a very serious problem in India, they had to provide different carriages in the trains for men and women.

4. You dont need to have many of it, infact one of them would do. All the owner needs to do to keep them clean is, wash them, use a clean dry cloth to wipe the waters off, and put them back on. No washing machine needed, well you could use a dish-washer.

Now with all that stated above who does not agree with me that this lady from Cameroon should be the greatest inventor of the year. 

Cynthia Anduhtabe says Cameroonian's culture needs more exposure in the UK, "When people ask what African country I come from, I always have to say the country next to Nigeria, I want to stop saying that".

bawomolo:
nah but who wants to see some 50 year old women strip

A 70 yr old dude standing on the street corner might get a turn on. Although thats not the goal for the women.

Different folks different strokes.

Key Goals for Vision 2020 - Vision Statement
“By 2020 Nigeria will be one of the 20 largest economies in the world able to consolidate its leadership role in Africa and establish itself as a significant player in the global economic and political arena.”

Lets leave all the big nations and put the focus on Nigeria, and whatever your view is, substantiate it with good argument. I think its possible, the problem I have is that I cant argue it.

bawomolo:
MLK didn't have to strip. This protest would be old news if these women go back home and sit down.

So if its not Martin Luther Kings way there is no other way.

I thought Yeswecan's understanding is not far enough, bawomolo, its over 2,000,000km farther than yours.

yeswecan:
A fool got aired on BCC shouldn't be a contribution. Why must she take off her paints, far as i understand the protest could have be done without taking of her paints. That's lack of dignity, shame and disgrace to her children, generation plus country. Is that how a protest is conducted, tell me Ikomi. You can as well take off your paints and run through the street of Abuja, at least Nairaland will cover that.

It is simply disgusting, possibly someone's mother.

Stop trying to defend your one way view, but if your view is based on, far as you understand. Then that tells us how far your understanding goes.

Far as I understand, dear yeswecan, the women don't care about your ultra dignified understanding, they have made their point and am sure the world has taking note of it.

If they died in the protest am sure that would have conformed with your dignified understanding.

back2back:
Nobody in AFRICA or WEST condemn this brutal killing rather they backed Compaore!

You tell me how thieves would deny their comrade?

bawomolo:
in what ways are these kind of protests effective though?

Since you've been on Nairaland typing your 8643 and still counting views, what impact has it had?

Those women made news. They are on BBC

Tayo-D:
@Ikomi,

And to think that I agree with you 100% on the valid points you made regarding the women.

I will ignore your other outbursts for now. Let's run with what we agree upon on this forum. We both live to fight on another day on another topic. You know I'm always at home for you

As for those dissing the women, especially those of the male gender, please show some respect. Verbally abusing women who have done you no wrong might just be symptomatic of a much deeper problem. I hope you guys are no wife beaters.

Now thats a good show of civility.

_{Listen TayoD I really dont mind you calling me Ayatollah, its as good as calling me the President, but the problem is you never gave me the private jet that goes with the title.}

Tayo-D:
@FBS,

You are a very wise man!

You see our views differ again, I'd say the guy is not a very good student, he cant even take up a simple homework, well on a second thought he is wise not to have taken the homework, I would have failed him.

Afam:
I don't know what you are talking about there.

Well, unless you are referring to TayoD, Tayo-D or any other user ID because for dis forum people can surprise you with multiple user IDs.

Never mind, we just did'nt look thoroughly into TayoD, sometimes the guy has got his heart in the right place. I know you dont agree with me, okay let me say exactly what you want to hear, alright not sometimes but all the time.

FBS:
@Ikomi, you do have a point. In fact several points. 

LOL

That is why the username is Ikomi. Except for the fact that one supreme idiot has decided to add the title Ayatollah to it, a title which I neither deserve nor merit.

Ayatollah is a high ranking title given to Shiah clerics.

FBS you do your homework and tell me how a born xtian, black african could earn the title of Ayatollah.

They say charity begins at home, FBS this fellow am telling you about, his madness took root on Nairaland.

What an utter lack of respect for knowledge or Islam, by the fellow.

FBS do you know who am talking about. His usename starts with T. 

I think what everyone has missed is the fact that for this women to go this far, they are patrotic, and love their nation.

Ask me where Gabon stands in the community of nations, a nation governed by Omar Bongo for 42 years. To impose Ali Bongo the former presidents son on them based on selection, with support from the imperialists is just not right.

They could as well turn the sit of the President into a monarch, the people might easily understand that.

Those women are not cowards, at least they are fighting with the only tool they have, if they had power or authority am sure they would have used it.

Tayo-D:
@Ayatollah Ikomi,

See how you have shamed yourself again on the www. The person you were supporting is on the road to showing full remorse. Are you going to be man enough to acknowledge you are wrong again?

Your a boy lost in his own ideas/imagination, and that's not healthy.

KASESE, Uganda — For years, Charles Wesley Mumbere worked as a nurse's aide in Maryland and Pennsylvania, caring for the elderly and sick. No one there suspected that he had inherited a royal title in his African homeland when he was just 13.

Tayo-D:
@Ayhatollah Ikomi,
Your understanding of sense is to listen to other people and not use your own brain?

On that line you stated your whole problem, but the bigger problem you now have is that you dont know that is your problem, and that is the biggest of all problems.

TayoD if you think jumping into every conversation to express your blind views is in your words "using your own brain", am sorry to say this, but your brain is failing you.

morpheus24:
There are no races in this world. There are only Human populations. The concept of race is a social construct. Race denotes different destinies, different species with diverging directions to different ends.

If people choose to marry each other based on same cultural affinities, skin color or hair color that is fine however opposition to the reverse based on any thing other than reasonable arguements is stupid. In this case the judge argued probem with children of such unions. Is this a reasonable arguement. I think not?

Why because either parents communities do not necessarily have to accept the child. He/She has a world community of like people who will embrace them.

Flawed arguement= under cover neaderthal racist Ideology


Why don't dogs have different races as well preselect their mating partners based on likeness.?

We have argued something related to this before.

For those who might want to read the conversation, especially TayoD

When it comes to this topic the man morpheous24 knows exactly what he is talking about.

"I would like to leave behind me the conviction that if we maintain a certain amount of caution and organization we deserve victory. You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future."

Thomas Isdore Noel Sankara

I dont know the man, he never spent enough time for us to judge him, or leave a legacy.

But if an african leader of the 80's said those words and he meant it.

Then I say the imperialists caused the death of one of Africas great leaders.

How does given the death penalty for causing an unrest that claimed lives, relate to acquiring nuclear energy? 

However this same persons have been given the right to appeal the sentence which could be overturned.

Or am I missing something?
