EducationRe: IN ALL HONESTY: How Would You Advise This Classroom Teacher? by martjay(m): 8:04am On May 26
If you allow him to sleep, that would breed indiscipline. Because the following day, another pupil may decide to sleep, since you didn't punish the first person, you have no right to punish the second. If you do, that is partiality. Don't start what you can't finish

If possible carry it home or after delivery you carry both mother and the calves home. Then rear them, you'll get more antelopes and food than instant kill. If you kill, it's only the mother that you'll eat, calves are wasted which is not wise.
Foreign AffairsTrump Peace Plan 'ignores Interests Of Palestinian People ', Hamas Official Tell by martjay(op): 4:17am On Oct 01, 2025
Trump peace plan 'ignores interests of Palestinian people', Hamas official tells BBC

Rushdi AbualoufGaza correspondent, Istanbul

A senior Hamas figure has told the BBC that the group is likely to reject Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, saying it "serves Israel's interests" and "ignores those of the Palestinian people".

The figure said that Hamas is unlikely to agree to disarming and handing over their weapons - a key condition of Trump's plan.

Hamas is also said to object to the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) in Gaza, which it views as a new form of occupation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Trump's plan during White House talks on Monday. Hamas has not yet given an official response.


Qatar's foreign ministry has said Hamas is studying the White House proposal "responsibly".

A senior Palestinian official with knowledge of Hamas talks told the BBC they involve the group's leadership both inside and outside of Gaza.

The group's military commander in the territory, Ez al-Din al-Haddad, is thought to be determined to keep fighting rather than accept the plan on offer. Hamas figures outside Gaza have recently found themselves sidelined in discussions as they do not have direct control over the hostages.

Watch: Trump and Netanyahu outline peace plan to end war in Gaza

Hamas talks, which are expected to take several days, also include other Palestinian factions.

The armed group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which took part in the 7 October attack and previously held some Israeli hostages, rejected the plan on Tuesday.

For Hamas, a key sticking point is thought to be that the plan requires them to hand over all of the hostages in one go - giving away their only bargaining chip.

Even with Donald Trump's backing for the plan, there is a lack of trust that Israel will not resume its military operations once it has received the hostages - particularly after it attempted to assassinate Hamas leadership in Doha earlier this month, in defiance of the US.

Additionally, a map of Gaza shared by the Trump administration shows what appears to be a planned buffer zone along Gaza's southern border with Egypt. It is unclear how this would be administered, but if Israel is involved it is also likely to be a point of contention.

Further, since agreeing to the plan on Monday evening, Netanyahu has appeared to push back on several of the terms it outlines.

In a video shared on X, he insists that the Israeli military would be able to remain in parts of Gaza and that Israel said it would "forcibly resist" a Palestinian state.

This goes against the terms of Trump's framework, which stipulates complete withdrawal of Israeli forces and says that once the plan is complete there may be a "credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood".

Within Gaza, Palestinians were broadly supportive of the plan, but only because it would lead to an end to the war.

Resident Khadar Abu Kweik told the BBC: "The American plan has bad clauses, but I support it because it will stop the war and get rid of Hamas. Even if the devil himself brought a plan to end this hell we are living in, I would support it."

Palestinian journalist Fathi Sabah said: "A Hamas rejection, god forbid, would mean giving Netanyahu a green light to continue the war with American and Western backing, to destroy what remains of Gaza and the central region."

"The people of Gaza cannot bear that. They are devastated, exhausted, desperate and hopeless," he said.

"They want a ceasefire now, not tomorrow, at any cost, even though they know the plan serves Netanyahu's interests, is full of pitfalls, and does not reflect their aspirations," he added.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

At least 66,097 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

In August, a UN-backed body confirmed that famine was taking place in Gaza City. Earlier this month, a UN commission of inquiry concluded that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza - which Israel strongly rejects.

Good! You can't just accused someone without evidence to back up your claim. Moreover she is a lawyer, supposed know better. If elected officials are to step down whenever there are allegations against them, that means President, vice, AGF, etc. Would all step down due to false allegations, if that is how it is, there would be commotions, because some people with bad intentions, would distract these leaders. She allegedly claims that the incident happened 2023, then two years later, you decided to come out without telling your husband before hand and during seat reallocation.

TravelRe: Why Do Most Nigeria Streets Look Like This? by martjay(m):
Raydos:
I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c

Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!!

Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!!

It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!!
Who are those entrusted to make changes in a society? Politicians (Government), what are the calibers of people voted to carry out these assignments? Unpatriotic, wicked, greedy, unserious and selfish sets of people. How can they make changes as they are benefitting from the rot. To build a modern city, the first step is town planning, any structure to be erected must follow guidelines of that city through master plan. How many of our cities are planned? Houses are haphazardly built, without specifications. It's really disturbing that the so called leaders traveled or schooled in these modernized countries, still, no impact. Thought I'm the only one that worries about our unproductive leaders, making Africa to be in squandry

Nigerians are also proud of her, but to induct her in the Hall Of Fame is unnecessary and wide off the Mark. It means the bar has been so lowered that any Tom, Dick and Harry can now be inducted.

@babaTony

oh yes we left our language behind the ibibio language is a subset of efik because it borrowed so heavily from the efik language and efik is widely spoken in some parts of akwa ibom from oron to uruan to adiadia and in abriba and arochucku and in parts of Cameroun

see, you still do not get it young man you do not claim what you are not and you cannot become wealthy or rewrite your history and repackage it because you are now earning more money from federal allocations. the truth is the efik fought for akwa ibom state as you guys were too timid and never wanted to leave your masters in calabar and we had to force you all out to go back home.

to tell you how slow you guys are at the creation of akwa ibom state no ibibio or akwa ibomite was present according to reported story in the news and it was chief tony ani the former minister of finance and chief edem omon both efiks who received the flag on behalf of ak and even named the state. do you know this to be true? I do not have any independent confirmation but I think chief ani said so if am not mistaken during the oil well saga

you guys would have remained in calabar till tomorrow and kept saying we are one and up till today you are desperately trying to be efik and there is a push back from the empire or what is known as the empire striking back because 5 million people should not desperately try to be assimilated into 2 million people except they are incapable of surviving on their own

the ibibio have their culture and history and are separate people from efik and that is it, it is what it is and there is no denying it and you belong in a separate state and in most cases closer to oron, ibeno, ikot abasi, anang people in ak and the ibos in aba, umuhia, onitsha, anambra than the efiks in calabar

please try to integrate your language and story with your nearest neighbors and live efik and her cultural heritage alone we just do not hate the ibibios but we want to preserve what is ours and in we like efik better.

just a very surreal culture that is why you all are running from it

and we have a very popular ibibio journalist named ekpu rat, how about udoeyop and eyop is palm fruit and udo is a second male child so in ibibio udoeyop is the second male child of a palm tree?

in efik asari and asandia are named reserved for 2 female twins just like taiwo and kehinde in yoruba if am not mistaken..

please what names do you give twins in ibibio is it ekpu and ebok?
