Na wah o! They are denying her now! If she had won a global award and not had 2 sex videos leaked, they would want to associate and reckon with her. That's people for you! Rise and everyone wants to identify with you...come crashing in your low times and the world denies you.

The cruelty in many of the reactions is dreadful. Her videos are a joke by comparison.

The shooter is a Muslim..!

You don't know. He was born in Germany and his parents are from Iran but that does not mean that he was a Muslim. And German authorities have declared that the shooting was not religiously motivated so it doesn't matter whether he was a Muslim, a Jew or a Hindu. He was simply mentally deranged.

Islam teaches violence
Quran (9 : 29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor
the Last Day , nor hold that forbidden which hath been
forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of
the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with
willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
Quran (9 : 38-39) – “O ye who believe! what is the
matter with you , that , when ye are asked to go forth in
the cause of Allah , ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye
prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter ? But little
is the comfort of this life , as compared with the
Hereafter. Unless ye go forth , He will punish you with a
grievous penalty, and put others in your place .” This is
a warning to those who refuse to fight , that they will
be punished with Hell .
Quran (9 : 41) – “Go forth , light -armed and heavy -armed,
and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of
Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.”

Germany, France and other countries opening up their doors for refugees and tolerating Islam haven't seen anything, dem just start, if there's is peace in a country, it's because Islam isn't yet there. Netherlands is the next place.

These are the reasons Donald Trump is being Islamophobic but people are pretending in the name of Liberalism, in the end we shall see he's right afterall.

Forget the current economic hardship BREXIT is gonna inflict on Britons, I'll tell you those who voted for the leave on the basis of immigration are far sighted.

France and Germeny opened their doors to Syrian immigrants without conducting background checks now France and Germany are facing terrorist attacks. Syria is a well known Islamic country so it is safe to say it is them in action. ISIS ofcourse, ...and we have not forgotten yet that an ISIS leader got VISA to visit a northern Nigeria state if not for God who made them to spot him and stop him by now I am sure they would have started excuting their global agenda in Nigeria farther than where boko who had earlie pledged allegiance to them.

The last time I checked somebody leading us today was once quoted as saying an attack on boko was an attack on the north so tell me why i shouldnt be weary of them whose religiion promises 7 virgins for killing innocent people who dont worship their faith.

The shooting was not motivated by Islam. Can you see how stewpid your comments look when you operate on prejudice?

For the sake of Argument, Just tell me the lie, When the lie was told and the reason for going into Iraq. And what the Ulterior motives were

The lie was that Saddam was in possession of WMD. Since these WMD have never been found, the allegation was not true and therefore a lie that was supported with fake evidence. It is very simple.

Germany's intelligence agency on Iraq
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-real-story-of-curveball-how-german-intelligence-helped-justify-the-us-invasion-of-iraq-a-542840.html

The introduction of this article goes as follows:

Five years ago, the US government presented what it said was proof that Iraq harbored biological weapons. The information came from a source developed by German intelligence -- and it turned out to be disastrously wrong. But to this day, Germany denies any responsibility.

More allegations without evidence. Your choice of sources this evening reminds me of Colin Powell's legendary show before the UN Security Council. cheesy

By the way, The US do not need the security council's permission to fight any war. ZERO. Did Russia ask for UN's permission to fight in Georgia and Ukraine or Did France get any to fight in Abidjan?.

They have shown the world that they don't need any permission. We have understood this message clearly wink but it is quite ironic that you use Russia's wrong decisions to justify the wrong decisions made by a US government. I wonder who is leading who by example and who is actually following? Albeit, what does it matter now that we know that we have returned to pre WW II conditions, under which anarchy reigns and the international community is disregarded in the name of world power that makes full use of the law of the jungle.
Perfect chaos!

Yet you keep preaching democracy. wink

No the evidence is not the absence of WMDs. You cant present that after the fact. You should give a simple reason before the event why Bush will want to go to Iraq and what lie he actually told.

The Bush jr administration was insisting that Saddam Hussein was hiding WMD. It was his administration that presented dubious and ridiculous footage that Mickey Mouse would have difficulties believing to the UN Security Council.

This is the joke of the millennium albeit a sad one:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErlDSJHRVMA

Whatever their motives to lie to the world were, is secondary and speculation. What we know now is that there were no WMD.

It seems you are misunderstanding what i said. The overreaction after 911 was everywhere but it did not affect the decision to go into Iraq. Every US intelligence agency including the Germans, British and few other European allies actually believe Saddam had wmds. Maybe the intelligence was wrong but that doesn't mean he lied.

He acted as if he was sure and he could not have been. Maybe he lied to himself too but he lied.
A country was invaded under his commando and thousands of people killed leaving a BIG MESS that affects other countries more than the USA far beyond the sea. He decided to bomb a nation without the supermajority of the UN Security Council (9 of 15 votes were needed, only 4 given). And it were not only countries like China and Russia opposing the war but - and what you wrote there above is not true - Germany and France. The German government demanded that the UN inspectors should be allowed to finish the inspection process.

The only reason why France and Russia did not support the war was for economic reasons. The french and the Russians were cutting deals with Saddam to help him circumvent and get more money from the oil for food program by receiving oil coupons. Even the Russian orthodox church was in on the deals. French president Jacques Chirac was on record saying he believed Saddam had WMDs. He said :

“What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad’s regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs.” — Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

Where in this quote did he say that Saddam has WMD? He states that Saddam used such in the past and that evidence 'may lead to think'. PULEASE!

There was a bi partisan investigation by the senate (headed by a democrat) to see if the bush administration pressured the intelligence community. No evidence was found.

They did not even bother to argue based on serious intelligence agency research because their source of information was allegedly a guy who was doing his work from a German prison. grin

More democrats here agreeing with the same intelligence they all saw.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwqh4wQPoQkIf he did not act, the same democrats ( most of them actually believed the same intelligence at the time too) will protest that he wasn't acting on actionable intelligence

I don't care about Democrats. Whoever American people vote for is their decision - as long as their future president does not decide to bomb other countries based on fairytales and other ulterior motifs. wink

I read the whole post and enjoyed it.

The evidence is the absence of WMD.

I remember watching Colin Powell's documentary "evidence" to the UN Security Council - and even though I was very young back in the day - I found it utterly ridiculous. I remembered to watch it again a few weeks ago, and I still find it ridiculous. Just that I can't bring myself to smile at it again because today I know and still see the results of this 'overreaction'.

Maybe they haven't proposed the bill because they are not racist like you think they are.

Bush did not lie about the Iraq war. That is just not true. There is no evidence to show that he did. This is just a liberal lie that refuses to die. All the agencies were unanimous that Iraq had WMDs. The intelligence community’s 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) stated, in a formal presentation to President Bush and to Congress, its view that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction—a belief in which the NIE said it held a 90% level of confidence. That is about as certain as the intelligence community gets on any subject. There is NO EVIDENCE that he doctored anything. If you have one show me.

Additionally, many prominent Democrats who had access to the same intelligence that George Bush did came to the same conclusion and said so publicly. If George W. Bush lied, then by default you have to also believe that Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards, Robert Byrd, Tom Daschle, Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders also lied. Some of them, like Hillary Clinton, even alleged that Saddam was working on nuclear weapons.

She said

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security.” — Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002"

I can keep giving you names all day. We can both agree that there was an overreaction after 911 but there is no shred of evidence that he lied about it. None!

Social security needs to be abolished at the end of the day. It is not a sexy subject but it has to be done. Liberals want to prolong it buy taxing or borrowing more. Personally, I think the best idea is to guarantee the benefits for people that are 50 and above and stop taking social security taxes from people below that age bracket. I would rather keep my money and invest it. The money wont be there in few years because of the generation gap and birth rates. Liberals dont like discussing this issue but it will be a case of we told you so in few years. Most conservatives wont vote for trump. That is a fact

What evidence is there that Iraq was in possession of WMD?

No multiple offerings: the offering basket is usually close to the exit door. In the three churches in three different cities I attendend I have never heard a call for offering. At the end of the service as you exit you may choose to drop an offering, any amount of your choice.

No special seat for anyone: No special seat or special recognition for any titled person or senior politician etc. Nobody cares if you got money or not. No one is treated differently by the pastor or any member. Persons called to take the mic few times are people who are involved in missionary works. To intimate the congregation on efforts so far. Some people here just live to do missionary work alone. Its amazing.

Every one is friendly: Its kind of intimidating being the only black around. The members want to know your name, what you do, where you are from and what's happening with you. Everyone introduces themselves with a smile and a handshake. They make you feel at home, like a brother. I remember when we were told to wait for Mexican food because the Mexicans in the church were celebrating their anniversary. After taking food, I sat at a corner to eat. Lo and behold everyone was calling me to come seat with them and eat. It felt nice smiley

seguntijan:
This interesting piece written by Aniefok Udoabasi mirrors today's Nigeria unfortunately.
This one is not for everyone...

FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT.

I traveled out my state of residence to do a transaction on behalf of a client. Things went relatively well until I needed to take out an affidavit in court as one of the final stages of the transaction.

So I walked into this court, a federal high court, to do the affidavit. I had in mind that a day earlier , someone had told me in my office how she spent #4 000 to do an affidavit in court. I was furious . I know that only #100 of that #4 000 will go to government purse , the rest will go to some thieves who pose as government workers.

So I stepped into this court wishing that the thieves would try to play pranks on me. I file affidavit regularly in court but I have never experienced such extortion. May be it is because the court workers in my town of residence know me to be a lawyer. May be now that I am out of jurisdiction and dressed casually, the ones here will try to play a fast one on me. Just May be.

So In the court, I was directed to a certain lady. It Seems she is always the first contact person in this web of extortion. I entered the room. She asked me to sit. She was attending to someone, a captive I should say . The man was begging that he did not come with 4k, but the lady would have none of that. She asked the guy to go and come back complete. I was eavesdropping. The guy had just lost his certificate and wanted to make an affidavit to that effect. This is what is supposed to cost him N100. The guy even begged to pay N1000. But she refused. She insisted on the "full price".. In the end, the guy left to use Atm and come back. I was next in line!

I hold the belief that even if one should extort me, it should not be in court. The very thought of being extorted by a non- Lawyer in court is annoying to me. It is like a civilian slapping a Soldier in the barracks! If you must slap a soldier, must you do it in the barracks ?

So I took my turn in front of her. 'What do you want to do, sir? She asked.' Affidavit, of course, I replied. She asked what type of affidavit , bringing out a plain sheet of paper and pen, with an air of fake seriousness. She said she needed to know the type of affidavit because they will help me to type it.

At that point, I brought out a copy of the affidavit as typed by my secretary a day before I traveled. I told her that all I needed was to make the oath before a Commissioner for that purpose. Seems she was taken aback. Seems see didn't expect me to come with my affidavit already written and typed out. She excused me and left with the document. I guess she went to consult with her superiors.

She did not stay too long.

'sir, are you a Barrister'?
'Yes, does it matter'?
'I mean a real Barrister '?
Silence.
' sir are you based here in town '?
Silence.
' Sir'?

I think she wondered if I was really a lawyer as they have not seen me in their court before . May be her superior had suggested that I just claimed to be a lawyer in the affidavit just to evade their extortion.

I told her to go straight to the point. That I still needed to travel back. I told her to show me where to pay and get the oath Commissioner's stamp. At that point, she cut a piece of paper and wrote on it. She signed a complicated signature. She made the stealing to seem official. Unlike how she handled the guy before me, she didn't say a word about the amount I was to pay. She could not speak to me about it . She wrote it down and signed and then showed me where to take it to.

So I took it to whom I was directed. The man took the piece of paper from me and studied it as if it was a graph or some complicated map . Then,as if he had suddenly deciphered a hidden code, he said out loud : 'two thousand'. I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

After the Commissioner had put his stamp on the affidavit, I went straight back to the guy who took 2k from me and demanded a receipt. He looked lost when he saw me again.

He said they don't give receipts. I said its not possible for the federal government of Nigeria to take #2000 from me and not give any evidence of payment. He then said their receipt has finished. I told him to use his red pen and write 2000 on the affidavit. He Shrunk his shoulders, as if to say 'God forbid'.

I told him, Point blank, that he has trouble on his hands. That he should not think that I will leave without evidence of payment. That if he can not handle it he should bring in his superior. I threatened to go to the court Registrar if he continues to waste my time. It Seems the mention of the Registrar was frightening to him. He said to me 'please sit down' and stepped out, running.

He returned with a woman I presume is his unit head, a woman in her late forties by my estimation. She asked what was the problem. I told her there was no problem. That I am surprised the guy brought her. That all I want is receipt or some evidence of payment.

She said that their receipt has finished. She brought out a big book and said they enter all the payment entries made by everyone and at the end of the day, they issue one receipt!

Hear lie. One receipt to whom? She did not even seem like an intelligent thief to me. Seeing that her explanation meant nothing to me, she collected the affidavit from me and looked. The next thing I heard was :

'who typed it? Who asked you to type it?'
She said they will give me my money back and take 'their affidavit'. That I should go elsewhere and make the oath.

At this point, I lost my patience and temper. It became clear to me that I was dealing with an ignorant crook. Who told her that she had the power to stop me from doing the affidavit? Who told her that private affidavits must be typed by the Court. I mean she made it so clear with her actions that she is fantastically corrupt.

I stepped out of their office and headed to the Registrar's office. They started pleading. The guy who took the money started running helter skelter.

He took me to the office of another oga. The oga was polite. Cool office. He took the affidavit document from me and read. He screamed : 'did they not even read this thing to see that this man is a lawyer'? He stormed out and left me alone in the office.

It became clear to me that the oga was not necessarily angry at what they did. He was angry that they did it to a lawyer. He felt they were daft to do so to a lawyer. They should have done it only to other members of the public. They should have known that a lawyer is "bad market".

The oga returned with the woman and asked her to apologise for saying I should get my #2000 and go elsewhere to do the oath. She did. And I accepted the apology.

The oga thought that was all. He looked happy, as if everything has been settled. As if he had just resolved a conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. I brought him back to reality by saying that I am still waiting for receipt. You can't extort me and apologise and bid me farewell, without a refund.

At that point, he asked the lady to excuse us. As soon as the room had only Me and him, he removed the masquerade. He said :"BUT BARRISTER, YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS THING IS HUNDRED NAIRA. How do we give receipt for 2 thousand "?

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.

I walked out of the court feeling sorry for the country. I mean this is a court of law! A place you would expect to see the strictest adherence to probity. Yet people openly engage in extortion. Government charges #100 for something, but corrupt government workers make it #4000 (I believe I was charged #2000 cos I had mine typed already).

People no longer do subtle corruption in this country. Corruption is the norm. The make you look stupid if you don't join in. Every sector is involved, not just the political class. The civil service stinks.

Last week Tuesday, I went to get my renewed drivers licence. The lady who is employed to hand it over to me, after doing so, stretched out her open palm, as of right. I put #200 in her hand for "Your coke" , and she was not happy. All she did was to remove my licence and give to me and she did it within a minute. Yet she named her bribe. She wanted #2000!! She said she will come to get it in the car in case I don't have it on me. I asked if she will give me a receipt for it and her face dropped.

Next day, I went to another ministry where I made an application needing the Commissioner's approval. I found that the application had not even reached the Commissioner's table . They kept giving excuses. As I made to leave, one of them followed me to the car and asked if I have "seen" them. She said she is helping me by telling me that if I don't "cooperate", I would be coming and going for 3 months without my file moving to nowhere.

You would think she was talking of between 3k to 10 k, but she named their price in the region of 70 k before I could get the ministry's approval! She kept saying "we are many o" and that 40k out of the money is for their ogas.

As I reached the office, I met a client whose tenant locked out of her own compound. She had to take refuge elsewhere for days. I mean this tenant destroyed glass windows in the compound, threatened to kill the landlady and, you won’t believe this, used a security padlock to lock the house owner out of her compound!

I immediately put a call the the DPO within jurisdiction. In fact, I drove down to the Police station to see him. He assigned the case to an IPO and directed an immediate arrest of the tenant.

As I made to leave, the IPO met me outside and said that they needed to be mobilized. He said 'oga you know na'. He asked for the number of the complainant saying he needs to call her to get the direction to her compound.

I did not even get back to the office when the woman called to say the Police called her to come to the station with #10, 000.

That is, the life of a citizen is threatened. She is sent away from her own house for days. The windows in Her home are destroyed, including the tank and borehole in the compound.

And the Police want a N10, 000 bribe before they can take any action!

And someone wants me to believe that Nigeria is not fantastically corrupt.

No way!

Nigeria is worse since Jonathan became our president.

Imagine over $60 billion debt under Jonathan, how do you explain borrowing when crude is above $100 for year's. Now the Oil boom is over, no refinery for 16 year's to stop this useless importation of fuel that is consuming our forex.

If you cannot manage the good times how can you manage the bad time. This is our bad time every nation that produce crude oil is removing subsidies, no more free dollar from crude Oil.

100x2,000,000= $200 million
$35x2,000,000= $70 million
How do you want Buhari to finance importation.

Nigerian saving is zero, no survival resources this is from Germany Deutsche bank analyst below.

You reason based on statistics when the opinion of the people you are talking to is based on sentiments and tribal affiliations.
