@MUza

Prosecuting a shoe terrorist in a democratic court of law is not a crime!

it shows the maturity of Iraq democracy.

Please what is the meaning of "shoe terrorist" Is throwing a shoe at a person terrorism? i think you could  Do yourself a favour by checking on the meaning of a terrorist

Afam:
The content in bold refers, both sides going into a full scale war will amount to a scenario where a full army with all the benefits of having a country that can negotiate arms deals with other countries will be waging war against a resistance that is not a full army, does not have the power to negotiate arms deals like other countries and so will only rely on smuggled arms which will never be enough.

So my friend, it seems you do not understand the politics behind preventing the people of Palestine from achieving statehood. Once Palestine becomes a nation then things will change. Israel would not roll tanks into Palestine anytime home made rockets are sent into Israel.

As to your question on what Israel should do it is very simple, return all the lands that were seized. You cannot hold on to my property and still dictate the terms of settlement.

And for every single innocent person killed in this latest offensive more and more people will have sympathy for Hamas and this will make things worse for Israel.

Already neighboring countries are condemning the attacks including the UN but it seems that the clueless Bush who by the way loves shedding innocent blood is ok with the bloodshed.

Wish you blessings for your response.

The foolish Gordon Brown and Miliband even said both sides should ceasefire as if Hamas was a state that had tanks , F16 or WMD. This is not a balanced war at all. IDF killing civilans with US made F16s and Bush keeps mum. 320 killed so far thousands injured many of the women and children and the world leaders are watching. What a biased world we live in.

Terrorist attack Mumbai the world leaders start to shout and condemn. An hypocritical world indeed

birdman:
I chuckle at the gloating going on in this thread. God dey

Dont give up bro. Its a shame there are blacks who suffered slavery, blacks who sufferred percecussion but in the hate filled heart do not see the state of Israel has never done anything wrong. in fact the conflict is all about palestinians foolishness and strong head , israel is right and has a right to defend itself and palestinians dont have that right.

This is the falsehood and spin the peddle. You and Richyblack were the lone voice amidst these folks. even Ban ki moon condemned the Israelis excessive use of force.

Israel would never learn they went in Lebanon bombed and bombed and they were defeated and kicked out in shame with their tails btw their legs. Hezbollah became stronger and garnered more support. The 2 soldiers were not found and they had to exchange tens of prisoners and corpses for 2 corpses. Nasrallah is a hero and even the Lebaanese christians love him. They are repeating the same thing in Gaza thinking the can destroy and eradicate Hamas. Eradicating Hamas while still occupying Palestine is a delusion that cant see

Fellows Let us not cheapen this human masscre by starting a religious ideological battle. The issue here is Palestine is under occupation by the Israelis is there any justification for that?

otele:
1. why hamas fired the 1st shot, knowing fully well what the outcome will be
4. why hamas leadership will order rocket attacks from faraway safety of syria

Hamas fired rockets beacuse the 6 months Truce was never respected by the Israelis. They did not ease the crossings

Khalid Meeshal lives in Syria because Israel exiled him from Palestine. Alla Other Hamas leaders live in Gaza. Sheikh Yassin of blessed memory was killed by the IDF in Gaza , Dr Rantissi was killed in Gaza, Abu Shanab was killed in Gaza these names are the previous leaders of Hamas.

Turkish raid or iraqi proetsts are not the issue here we could open another thread for this. Dont distract us from the "genocide" or "holocaust" we are witnessing in Gaza

My heart bleeds at the responses of some of our Nigerian folks here. I feel ashamed at how some blacks could be this in support of the Zionist apartheid. Blacks who are Christian Zionist.

@Davidylan
What is anti- Semitism to you if you could define this word then maybe we could discuss your use of this language. Richyblack condemns the action of Israel and you call it anti Semitism.

You said Israel withdrew from Gaza and got rockets in return. Yes Israel withdrew is half the story they withdrew and laid a siege on Gaza. The Blocked the Sea route, Blocked the airspace, and blocked all land routes to Gaza… in short words Gaza becomes a glorified Prison with 1.5 million people in a strip smaller than isle of wight in the UK. You talked of Rockets – How would a people who have been blockaged show their frustration.

David do you know the conditions of the ceasefire? Let me inform you:

Hamas was to stop or bring rockets firing to the minimum and Israel was to ease the crossings and open the sea route to Gaza. It is a known fact that during the 6 months Rockets dramatically reduced but Israel never eased the crossings and Gazans lacked in fuel supply, food, medical equipments and basic essentials. Last week Hamas offered to extend the truce if Israel would ease the crossings but Israel preferred to negotiate while dictating its terms which Hamas refused. Israel had planned this attack for 6 months and were not interested in any Truce.

This attack is a war crime and inhumane. Hamas fires rockets into sothern Israel because Palestine is under occupation. Tell Israel to leave the West Bank into their 1967 boarders and the rockets would stop.
Israel has ignored about 20 UN general assembly resolution. UN recognises Palestine is under occupation. What does the occupiers expect that the occupied laugh and submit to them?

You even said fatah and hamas dont want a 2 state solution. My brother that is a lie told by you. Fatah went to the failed Anapolis conference for a 2 state solution with jerusalam as its capital.

Hamas has long said they would accept a 2 state solution with Jerusalem as its capital and offer Israel a long long term truce.


Funny how you guys are quick to codemn terrorist acts and do not see Israels action as terrorism!!!!

Dont let your hatred for Islam beguile you. There are chistians suffering in Gaza and West Bank. Christians who support and voted for Hamas. This is a human Tragedy.
amnesty international has long accused Israel of war crimes and several NGO's. Millions of Chistians worlwide recognise this Human tragedy and wicked Zionist State of Israel. Wake up!!!

If polygamy is not practised what would happen to the surplus women without a man. In Africa there are lot of women who either need a man for security reasons, financial or the normal emotional need for a partner. We are living in a hypocritical world 70 – 80 percent of married men in Nigeria cheat on their wives , university girls enjoy dating aristos or married man cos they feel they are more matured and generous to them. If you can date a married man so how cum u cant marry him. Polygamy practised within limits (In islam the max is 4) would go a long way in curbing extramarital affairs.

Somebody says men do it because of lust and I say yes. If not for Lust no man would ever be married to any Lady. Your husband has to lust for you or there is a problem. Every woman deserves a man and if there is man shortage polygamy is a solution. It has been practised since the days of Abraham, Jacob, Solomon, Moses, All this Noble men had more than 1 wife. It is just modern day western society that preaches 1 man 1 wife. African tradition accepts it. Polygamy practised with the fear of God and social justice is fine.

A great pity for his followers. Another fraudster !!! The christian community should rise up and expose this 419 guy man

yemmyse:
Lagos

See ur life. If they say the tiniest thing about Islam, u start shedding crocodie tears. Why not respect yourself, can't u see Jarus?

Ur missing my point. If u read my earlier post on this thread you would have seen that I never attacked christianity or christians here rather i praised the earlier Nigerian bishops and clergy who i knew and attended thier services for not running thier house of worships like money making venture.

This is about a man been fit or not to be president and I dont think he his.

Muza:
haba,u guys should allow the guy to go and get his own slice of the national cake

If church moni no sweet again na oil money go sweet o!!

davidylan:
apparently objective thinking is not the forte of a lot of you.

Davidylan I think this very much includes you as well

earTHMama:
Do I know? You should be able to tell us. The only significance I can think of is terrorism unless you have otherwise.

Earthmama the last time i checked I have never seen A Jesus without a beard. So how cum u have a problem with d goatie dont u like your guys to look like A Jesus

KunleOshob:
This is a very untrue statement OBJ actually did a lot to better our economy and he recorded numerous successes as such our income per capita moved from less than $300 when OBJ came in 1999 to over $1200 by the time he left in 2007. Our stock market also grew by 6000% in this same period that is not to talk of the world acclaimed Mega banks we have now. Of cousre our bountiful foreign resevres is also quite glaring not to talk of the fact that he left the country almost debt free considering the fact that we were owing over $30 billion when he came in. The man OBJ is certainly the best president this country as ever had.

Translate all this to the what the common man on the street would understand.

Power: The MW OBJ left was lesser than what he met. Nigerians even still had more power during the Evil IBB's time
Food
Transportation: No single federal highway can attest to the 300 billion naira sunk in there.
Healthcare: The Federal hospitals are still in a sorry state
Shelter: Tell us how much cement costs now and compare this to the Govts workers salary.

This are the basic things the average Nigerian has a right for.

The GDP of $1200 u mentioned makes us about the 36th country in africa out of 50. Is that an achievement? Despite all the billions made from $80-$100 per barell OBJ made.

You mentioned foreign reserve. Of what use is a foreign reserve when the infrastructure are begging for help. No infrastructure no foreign investment.

This is not the political section though i would have gone on and on!!

Lastly OBJ imposed this baba go slow that has no clue of what development is on us. This is the worst of OBJ's crime

skyone:
Could this be a new begining for our political leaders in Nigeria; well 'i guess this's probably where the spirit and idea of restructuring LAGOS is coming from

Same way the poverty OBJ bestowed upon us came from the Holy Ghost events

@ Auwal

Muslims are not minority in the Southwest i beg to disagree.

All the systems that has been tried in Nigeria never worked because of insincerity. If there is separation and no sincere leaders believe me the breakaway states would crumble.

Imagine IBB leading Arewa republic again or Ibori ruling Niger Delta

nuzo:
How hypocritical, stupid and dumb most nigerians can be when it comes to their religions.
Imagine this slowpoke trying everything possible to prove the corrupt bastard saraki is not a christian. He even tried to prove it by telling us that he is usually shown in the dailies when praying in the mosque. . . lol. That reminds me of when Ayo fayose was campaigning for a second term in office; he was shown in mosque praying and wrapped up like a masquerades while another footage showed him speaking in tongues in his office.

Nigerians and religions sha. . . . damn hypocrites!!!!!!!!!

But you saw his name was Sai- Saraki

Most of these pastors are not but fraudulent business men. In fact they are worse then 419 people or curropt politicians. The reason been that they are stealing in the name of God which is a worse crime.

When i was growing up i use to attend an anglican church and the bishops then were still moral and did not use to live fat on the congregation.

What we have among the current evangelical missions is nothing but fraud!! "God told me there are 100 people here who would donate 10 million naira each" sounds familiar? You work that out!!

The so called universities they are buliding is another business. Students pay high fees and there is profit that goes into the pocket of the pastors. This guys are so smart but Nigerians are foolish.

I have been to rural areas and bielieve me you would not find these churches there as no one there to sow the seeds.

The short cut to wealth is to open a pentecostal church these days!! u go make money so tey u no go know wetin u go use d moni do

This woman is ready to go on a free fall, the curses of her enemies the fake drug warriors have finally caught her. Otherwise i see no reason why a woman who was great at her health and food job would accept to be the mouthpiece of a retarded administration.

She should have rejected it based on principles.

Remember Chukwumerije, Ofanagoro, Fani Kayode, Frank Nweke , anyone with good memory would know whatever they said then was bucket load of crap and lies. Why would Aunty Dora go on this no so noble path

Quest for power could indeed blind the reasoning.

Riskie:
So cute! Masha Allah!

You so cute mashallah!!!!!!
Is that u on ur profile

Are u muslim?

Kai you too cute mashallah!!!!

Livvvvy:
Why are African leaders so greedy, they feel they own power and own it for life. Even with frail health, they don't want to leave power. Thank God for Mr death.

This man ruled for 24 years.

sorry i dont think its an african thing but it is a human thing. Power is so sweet anyone that tastes it would not want to let go except an exremely God fearing or moralist. Uncle Tony Blair spent 10 yrs in power and still did not want to go till his party forced him out.

Wonder why all leaders run for 2nd term? Except mandela of Africa?

Kai my sista power sweet o!but d thing we sweet they kill as well

earTHMama:
Where do your Islamic exorcists get the power to cast out jinns? Do they have the holy ghost on them?

They don’t have the power, The power lies with the Lord lord in whose hands is the forelock of man and jinn , the dead amongst them and the living. All they do is follow the tradition and teachings of the Prophet (SAW) in performing exorcism. There are verses in the quran that has to be recited continuously and the evil jinn would never feel comfortable with the evil actions while the words of God are been recited on him.

For the exorcism to be successful it has to be by a pious person that doesn’t freely indulge in sins. Spirituality is very important as it is a catapult to closeness to God.

There is a sheikh that visits the UK from Saudi. This guy is well known that among the jinns that one of them confirmed that when he walks into a place they all run away because he his too harsh against them.

Surprising how blissfulnaughty put this thread on and never came back to defend her comment that doesnt even match the thread topic.

Intelligence is indeed expensive!!

May Allah accept your hajj and make it easy and possible for others to go on this journey of a lifetime!!.

@Arramjay
Sorry to ask Are u muslim? i am just a lil bit confused as someone called you christian on another thread.

I nominate MUZA at the politics section He gets enough tribal and ethnic bashing and never waivers.

@Cayon

There are many good books about islam in simple language that could guide you towards understanding the Faith. If your interested i could pass you some of these and some were written by christian converts to Islam in the West.

I can see you have quite a few honest questions you would want an answer for.

Cayon:
@Karma:

Lets pretend I did (scratching my head). From a Christian point of view, what would your reaction be? And what advice would you give to me.

Just asking eh

It is natural to be concernced about peoples reaction when you take decisions like this but I would advise you to not base your decisions on peoples reactions rather base it on your convictions. No matter what you do in life people will never be satisfied with you. You are you and not them and that is what makes you you.

Where are you based Nigeria or Outside?

@ Auwal

I am a muslim from the south and when you say "Christian South" i find it wrong. The western media keeps saying this phrase as well. Yes if you said Christian South east or south south but not the South West. The youbas have at least 18 million muslims from the 30 million Yoruba nation. Oyo state is strongly muslim, Ogun state as well with Ijebu ode, Egba, Yewa All having strong muslims enclaves dating back to the 19 century and before the missionaries came in. In Osun state there is hardly anyone originally from Oshogbo that is not muslim not to talk of Ede, Ife and Ilesha though have a large Christian population. Ekiti state I can say has a larger Christian population with Ondo state as well but Akure still has a strong muslim population. In Lagos where I am from the core indegines of Lagos in Isale eko are predominantly muslims and Islams presence dates back before the missionaries came in.

Going back to the Arewa republic, Would Kwara, Benue, Taraba , Kogi and Plateau be part of this republic?

If Nigeria breaks would Cross River and Akwa Ibom be part of Biafra? Or they would go with south south (No name yet for niger delta republic)

If the Niger Deltans go would Edo state be part of this? The Niger Delta is also filled with ethnic rivalries between Ijaw, Urhobo, Istekiri . Not forgetting the war in Delta state between tribes cos of local government.

The Odua might just be only homogenous republic out of this break up because Yoruba nation is one ethnicity and possibly Biafra if it is just the Igbo people.

Honestly I believe in One Nigeria but with a decentralised system of govt. The Center should be made weak and governance rested on states or regions. A larger nation is a potentially stronger nation and India and China are rising powers due to their population. Nigeria as it is not working because true federalism is not practised. The south south has been underdeveloped but the south south should look inwards to the insensitivity of their leaders. The north acknowledges the fact that their leaders have failed them and the sooner the Niger Deltans accepts this reality the better.

Breaking up on ethnic differences is not a solution as the North orth would still face ethnic problems so as Niger delta. The Yoruba would also face tribal problem. The sooner we learn to live and manage our diversity the better.

For Nigeria to work well though true federalism or Unitary system of governance has to be adopted

[color=olive]Okay, I understand, but how did that warrant you unleashing all his background and all? Some people.[/color]

A man that forgets his history and background can never live to be a great man. Just wanted him to reflect backwards in case it could help him retracing his steps. Religous attacks would lead to no where except fuel dissent and hatred!!

His name was an acknowledged error but the substance of what i wrote I stand by.

We have to dream a vision or is it have a vision. Without a vision there cannot be any meaningful articulated planning. Without having a plan there can be no room for even proper execution or implementation of policies,

@ Poster
Good. At least we still have some optimist in our midst. Nigeria shall be Great!!!!

Why should i vote for a man that romanced with OBJ during his hey days in power. Silence means consenting to OBJ's inhumane policies and starvation of nigerians amidst billions of petro-dollars.

The pastor should just sit and continue making money from his ministry.

Better still plan to acquire his own jet as thats the in thing!

Greeat Ayah in the Quran. Recite it together with surah Falaq and Surah Nas at Night. Recite it with your palms open blow the air into your palm and rub it round your body and go to sleep. That is the recommendation of the Prophet (SAW).

If you can recite it after every Salah as well. Good protection from the devils.

One simple question for you is do u know the meaning of “Crusade”

Perhaps I can help you by directing you to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusade

After reading it come back and speak your jargon that Christians never fought war in the name of God.

You talk of ignorance? I know you are not ignorant but you read through a dark glasses that only sees things u want to see.

Keep swimming in your ocean of denial and self motivated perpetual ignorance!!!!

Pastorgee:
The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars and Stripes is the Eagle.

The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:

“For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.”

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Still unconvinced about all of this ……, ?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it will make your stand on end:

This is a blatant lie Surah 9 has no verse like this and from th top of my head this thing you wrote is no where in the Quran and I stand to be corrected.


Next time take time to research any thing u read from the internet before u copy and paste it here. Internet is a pool of knowledge no doubt but only intelligent pple would know how to sieve.

On this occasion you have failed in using your intelligence.

The verse and reference is a LIE
