Last week witnessed the arrest of a young Saudi from Riyadh nicknamed Abu Sin (one with the crooked tooth) for chatting up an American girl from California online.

He was released on bail on Thursday after a weeklong detention by authorities on charges of “unethical behavior violating decency and religious values,” Lieutenant Fawaz al-Miman told Al Arabiya.net.

The conversations between Abu Sin (19) and Christina Crockett (21) – the American girl in question - were first broadcast on YouNow before being reposted dozens of times on YouTube. They quickly grew in popularity, garnering hundreds of thousands of views.

They also made for comedic viewing since both did not speak the other’s language; he barely spoke English, while she was oblivious to the Arabic language.

Apparently I've been talking to a mannerless kid who's just out to win an argument for some imaginary price, hence all the pointless blabbing; a person who doesn't know the difference between narrow and standard gauge coming here to insult people.

The first standard gauge train in Nigeria is being commissioned today, yet in your infinite wisdom, you claim to have seen where someone at some point in the past was insulting a train that was only commissioned today... Oh I forgot, your brain still hasn't assimilated that there's a difference between those former train systems and the one just being commissioned today, my bad!

You completely missed the point. There has been a clamour for secession all along. MASSOB was there long before GEJ ever came to power. It does not matter if any of the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria such as Igbos want to secede because Buhari came to power or because it didn't rain in Madagascar yesterday, their right to leave superceeds anything else. Even if your wife or girlfriend decides to end the relationship because she doesn't like colour of your socks, you have no choice in the matter. If Igbios want to go, they have the right to go. When and why is not as important as their right to go. Nigeria is a creation of the White man, none of the indigenous ethnic nationalities ever formaly agreed to be part of it. You talked about advantage of Nigeria being a big nation. Nobody is interested in size when it counts for nothing. Nigeria is a country of 170 million people but has close a 70% porverty rate. Belgium is just about 10 million people but is richer than Nigeria. It is far better to be smaller and more effective than bigger but useless. The secessionist are not interested in the presidency of Nigeria. The presidency has not helped those that have held it before. Ask Yorubas what they gained from OBJ or as Ijaws what they gained from GEJ, nothing. Bottomline is that Nigeria has never worked as a nation and never will and no amount of grandstanding is going to change that. The sooner everone admits it, the better. Oil, water and milk do not mix and if anyone firces a mixture of all three, something nasty will be the end result

I get where you are coming from. Igbos have no historical connection whatsoever with Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba people but you hear a Yoruba and Hausa man talking about 'one Nigeria' as if that term means anything. When the Igbos declared their independence under the great Ojukwu, those two groups came down to the East to start a war and kill 3 million people because Lord Lugard told them we are one. At the end of the day, freedom and independence is a right, not a privilege. That's why those who agitate for Biafra will always morally better than those who want 'one Nigeria'.

LRNZH:
The "apple" wey Abacha chop na God come down from heaven give am? There are too many diverse interests in Nigeria to try an "Abacha", "Babangida" or "Third-Term" and you will not be forced-out in due time.
Or are you saying God doesn't like the other smaller African countries like Equatorial Guinea, Cameroun, Angola, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Chad, etc that their leaders are still holding them hostage for over 20 years?
Stop shallow-minded thinking my friend.

At least they are free. South Sudan is an example to the "one Nigeria or we all die!" Crazies out there that no union is permanent

5 years of South Sudan

After over 20 years of guerrilla warfare which claimed 2 million lives...

On July 9 2011, South Sudan officially gains independence from Sudan - ruled by the Islamic elite

A new country and a new national anthem, but peace is short-lived...

On July 2013, President Salva Kiir sacks entire cabinet in power struggle

On December 2013, political infighting erupts into civil war

Thousands are killed, 2.2 million people displaced

On August 2015, warring sides sign a peace deal but the deal is fragile...

And so is its economy... Inflation is close to 300%, the highest in the world

Oil made up 98% of government revenues, the industry has collapsed

"The majority of working South Sudanese are now poorer than they were a decade ago" - Oxfam

And heavy clashes have erupted across several major cities

"South Sudan is at risk of falling back into full-scale war" - The International Crisis Group

Actually crude needs to be above 70 dollars per barrel for drilling to be profitable under international drilling standards.
The issue is not ,disruption in Nigerian crude being a disrupting power in global crude prices . Its about internal policy changes.
We have been shortchanged for long.
the tide has changed and some elements will not rest until we return to the old moon

LRNZH,

My bros in conspiracy theory...

I thought i had an over active imagination but the facelessness of the " attackers" and lack of impact beyond energy down time gave me ideas too...

But how do we explain shutting down their SM page?

"In a region with a history of violent interruptions, the oil infrastructure in the Niger Delta is suffering through another string of attacks by local militias. Mostly carried out by a group called the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), these attacks likely reduced crude production by mid-June by 400 kb/d in addition to 200 kb/d of non-militia related disruptions. On June 20, the government announced a 30-day ceasefire with a number of militias including the NDA. And while the NDA commented that it “does not remember having [such] an agreement”, there have been no attacks since June 16 and on Monday June 27, the government announced that production had recovered by 200 kb/d to 300 kb/d. If sustainable, this ceasefire would pave the way for higher output, with the government optimistically aiming for a return to normal production by end-July. A normalization in production, even over several more months, would create downside risk to our $50/bbl 2H16 price forecast as it would bring the global oil market close to balance over that time period."

Although there was no official confirmation last night, a top security source told THISDAY that the incidents occurred. “I just spoke with my men in the area and they confirmed the attack,” the source said, adding: “Preliminary investigations so far from our men in the field is that dynamite was used to blow up the facilities just like in previous attacks.”

The militant group reported through its tweeter handle late Saturday at 11:26 pm that its strike team had blown up two major crude oil trunk lines belonging to the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) close to Batan flow station in the oil-rich state.

At 11:30 pm of Saturday, the avengers also tweeted that it blew up the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Crude Oil Trunk Line to Warri Refinery at 9:15p.m on Friday.

Continuing, the group tweeted thus: “At 11:26pm on Saturday @Niger Delta Avengers blew up two NPDC major crude trunk lines close to Batan flow station in Delta state. At 1:15am on Sunday @Niger Delta Avengers blew up two major Chevron Oil Wells. WELL 7 and WELL 8 close to Abiteye flow station in Delta state.

“All Five Operations were carried out by @Niger Delta Avengers Strike Team. Well Done Soldiers.”

My boss, i salute your stupidity. Am not a kid, i kniw the rudiments of obtaining and servicing loan facilities. Ehat am yet to understand is, how does Bruce's loan affevt the country's economy. Incase you dont know abouy the act that established AMCON and its extant llaws, maybe you should learn more. Silverbird is a private business, just like dangote. Am very much aware how indebted Dangote is, so also many other businesses. The reason(s) Bruce is singled out is very perplexing..........maybe your highness can help me out, otherwise, keep your diseased self-glorification to yourself. Thanks
