Edet dey hustle for Belgium now

So much for the religion of peace. Barbaric animals

chrisbaba1: [size=15pt]That does not look like a bomb though. IED are usually much larger and concealed. Maybe its just one hausa boy who doesnt understand english

Police : Na bomb be this?

Hausa : yohwa

Police : Dem send you abi?

Hausa : yohwa, Oga Send me.

Police: You are under arrest

Hausa : *smiles*.........Yohwa

Now he is in handcuffs looking like WTF just happened? But i thought we were gisting??

hahaha, nice one!

There is still so little known about outer space by modern science, but of that little we do know, there are some extraordinarily amazing things. This is a list of the top 10 cool facts about Space.

10. Lightweight
https://i2.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/saturns-rings-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C150
Fact: If you put Saturn in water it would floatThe density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float. The actual density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm3 while the density of water is 0.998 g/cm3. At the equator Saturn has a radius of 60,268 ± 4 km – which means you would need an extremely large glass of water to test this out.

9. Constantly Moving
https://i2.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/milkyway-pan1-tm.jpg?resize=400%2C85
Fact: We are moving through space at the rate of 530km a secondOur Galaxy – the Milky Way is spinning at a rate of 225 kilometers per second. In addition, the galaxy is travelling through space at the rate of 305 kilometers per second. This means that we are traveling at a total speed of 530 kilometers (330 miles) per second. That means that in one minute you are about 19 thousand kilometers away from where you were. Scientists do not all agree on the speed with which the Milky Way is travelling – estimates range from 130 – 1,000 km/s. It should be said that Einstein’s theory of relativity, the velocity of any object through space is not meaningful.

8. Farewell old friend!
https://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/600px-moon-pia00302-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C300
Fact: The moon is drifting away from EarthEvery year the moon moves about 3.8cm further away from the Earth. This is caused by tidal effects. Consequently, the earth is slowing in rotation by about 0.002 seconds per day per century. Scientists do not know how the moon was created, but the generally accepted theory suggests that a large Mars sized object hit the earth causing the Moon to splinter off.

7. Ancient Light
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/800px-the-sun1-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C225
Fact: [/i] The light hitting the earth right now is 30 thousand years oldThe energy in the sunlight we see today started out in the core of the Sun 30,000 years ago – it spent most of this time passing through the dense atoms that make the sun and just 8 minutes to reach us once it had left the Sun! The temperature at the core of the sun is 13,600,000 kelvins. All of the energy produced by fusion in the core must travel through many successive layers to the solar photosphere before it escapes into space as sunlight or kinetic energy of particles.

6. Solar Diet
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/800px-171879main-limbflarejan12-lg-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C210
[i]Fact: The Sun loses up to a billion kilograms a second due to solar windsSolar winds are charged particles that are ejected from the upper surface of the sun due to the high temperature of the corona and the high kinetic energy particles gain through a process that is not well understood at this time. Also, did you know that 1 pinhead of the sun’s energy is enough to kill a person at a distance of 160 kilometers?

5. The Big Dipper is not a constellation
https://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/637px-ursa-major-constellation-map-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C282
Fact: The Big Dipper is not a constellation, it is an asterismMany people consider the big dipper to be a constellation but, in fact, it is an asterism. An asterism is a pattern of stars in the sky which is not one of the official 88 constellations; they are also composed of stars which are not physically related to each other and can be vast distances apart. An asterism can be composed of stars from one or more constellations – in the case of the Big Dipper, it is composed entirely of the seven brightest stars in the Ursa Major (Great Bear) constellation.

4. George’s Star
https://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/602px-uranus-voyager-2-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C298
Fact: Uranus was originally called George’s StarWhen Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, he was given the honor of naming it. He chose to name it Georgium Sidus (George’s Star) after his new patron, King George III (Mad King George). This is what he said:
In the fabulous ages of ancient times the appellations of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were given to the Planets, as being the names of their principal heroes and divinities. In the present more philosophical era it would hardly be allowable to have recourse to the same method and call it Juno, Pallas, Apollo or Minerva, for a name to our new heavenly body. The first consideration of any particular event, or remarkable incident, seems to be its chronology: if in any future age it should be asked, when this last-found Planet was discovered? It would be a very satisfactory answer to say, ‘In the reign of King George the Third.’Uranus was also the first planet to be discovered with the use of a telescope.

3. Extra Moons
https://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/s3753-2-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C301
Fact: Earth has at least 4 moonsOkay – that is not actually true – but it is very close. In 1986, Duncan Waldron discovered a asteroid (5km across) that is in an elliptic orbit around the sun with a period of revolution virtually identical to that of Earth. For this reason the planetoid and earth appear to be following each other. The periodic planetoid is named Cruithne (pronounced krin-y?) after an ancient group of Scottish people (also known as the Picts). Because of its unusual relationship with Earth, it is sometimes referred to as Earth’s second moon. Cruithne, is fainter than Pluto and would require at least a 12.5 inch reflecting telescope to attempt to be seen. Since its discovery, at least three other similar asteroids have been discovered. These types of objects are also found in similar relationships to other planets in our Solar System. In the image above (courtesy of Paul Wiegert), the earth is the blue circle with a cross in it, and Cruithne’s orbit is shown in yellow.

2. Sunspot Music
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/messiah-mosaic-1-tm.jpg?resize=400%2C184
Fact: Sunspot activity may be the primary reason for the beautiful sound of Stradivarius violinsAntonio Stradivari is considered to be the greatest violin maker ever. He lived in Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries. Scientists have been unable to work out what it is about his violins that makes them so incredible, but they do know that the timber used to make them is a very important contributing factor. From the 1500s to 1800s, the earth underwent a little ice age mostly due to increased volcanic activity and decreased solar activity (this is called the Maunder Minimum). As a result of this cooling, the types of trees that Stradivari used for his violins were particularly hard (due to slow growth). Hard timber is especially good when making violins. It is very probable that had Stradivari lived in a different age, his violins would not be prized as they are today. This picture above is made of three overlapping photos. It shows the rings in the spruce tree used to make the most famous Stradivarius violin, the “Messiah.” The first row of numbers gives the width of each ring in millimeters (one mm is about the thickness of a fingernail). The bottom row gives the years in which each ring grew.

1. Cold Welding
https://i2.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/space-station-0614-tm.jpg?resize=300%2C205
Fact: If two pieces of metal touch in space, they become permanently stuck togetherThis may sound unbelievable, but it is true. Two pieces of metal without any coating on them will form in to one piece in the vacuum of space. This doesn’t happen on earth because the atmosphere puts a layer of oxidized material between the surfaces. This might seem like it would be a big problem on the space station but as most tools used there have come from earth, they are already coated with material. In fact, the only evidence of this seen so far has been in experiments designed to provoke the reaction. This process is called cold welding. For those who still don’t believe it, here is the Wikipedia article on Cold Welding.

Of course the Americans don't want the cure to come from a black country because they want us to continue to depend on them for everything. We will find the cure for this Ebola they have created just like HIV, they can ridicule us as much as they want, God will make the pesticide work. God bless Nigeria.

Ghanaboy1: Oh gosh nigerians are too duty datz why ebola has break into their corrupt nation

You spend your sad life trolling the net to post your trash about Nigeria. If you don't like Nigeria, leave our forum and look for a ghanian one. You can ask Seun to make a cediland for you if ghanians are so dumb to build one for themselves.

Is it that HIV ridden Lesotho full of hungry children that is trying to humiliate Nigeria? Thunder fire them and their grand father!

Right now in West Africa the worst Ebola outbreak in history is in full swing and is jumping borders at an alarming rate. Already it has spread to four countries, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and now Nigeria. This latest jump into Nigeria is particularly serious since the infected individual carried the virus by plane to Lagos Nigeria, a city with a population of over 21 million. Doctors without borders has referred to the outbreak as "out of control".

To make matters worse, there is something very, very important that the corporate media and public health officials are not telling you regarding this crisis.

You'll notice if you read virtually any mainstream article on the topic that they make a point of insisting that Ebola is only transferred by physical contact with bodily fluids. This is not true, at all.

A study conducted in 2012 showed that Ebola was able to travel between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages and were never placed in direct contact.

Though the method of transmission in the study was not officially determined, one of the scientists involved, Dr. Gary Kobinger, from the National Microbiology Laboratory at the Public Health Agency of Canada, told BBC News that he believed that the infection was spread through large droplets that were suspended in the air.
"What we suspect is happening is large droplets; they can stay in the air, but not long; they don't go far," he explained. "But they can be absorbed in the airway, and this is how the infection starts, and this is what we think, because we saw a lot of evidence in the lungs of the non-human primates that the virus got in that way."

Translation: Ebola IS an airborne virus.

UPDATE: Someone pointed out that in medical terms, if the virus is transferred through tiny droplets in the air this would technically not be called an "airborne virus". Airborne, in medical terms would mean that the virus has the ability to stay alive without a liquid carrier. On one hand this is a question of semantics, and the point is well taken, but keep in mind that the study did not officially determine how the virus traveled through the air, it merely established that it does travel through the air. Doctor Kobinger's hypothesis regarding droplets of liquid is just that, a hypothesis. For the average person however what needs to be understood is very simple: if you are in a room with someone infected with Ebola, you are not safe, even if you never touch them or their bodily fluids, and this is not what you are being told by the mainstream media. Essentially I am using the word "airborne" as a layman term (which kind of makes sense, since I am a layman in this field).

Now I'm not going to speculate as to whether these so called "journalist" and public health agencies who keep repeating the official line regarding the means of transmission are lying, or are just participating in some massive display of synchronized incompetence, but what I will say, is that this shoddy reporting is most likely getting people killed right now, and may in fact put all of humanity in danger.

How so?

By convincing people that the virus cannot travel through air, important precautions that could reduce the spread of the virus are not being taken. For example the other passengers on the plane that traveled to Lagos, Nigeria were not quarantined.

[UPDATE August 6th]: According to the AP and the BBC, Patrick Sawyer, the Ebola infected man who traveled to Lagos Nigeria by plane, passed the disease on to eight health workers before being properly isolated.

Nigerian health authorities acknowledged Tuesday that they did not immediately quarantine a sick airline passenger who later died of Ebola, announcing that eight health workers who had direct contact with him were now in isolation with symptoms of the disease.

In spite of the seriousness of this disease, and in spite of the fact the fact that the BBC itself covered a study in 2012 that demonstrated that Ebola can spread through the air, no one in the corporate media has budged from the official line regarding transmission.

The AP's spin on it:
Experts say people infected with Ebola can spread the disease only through their bodily fluids and after they show symptoms.

From CNN:
Ebola spreads through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people.

And from the BBC itself in their article describing the second confirmed case in Nigeria:
The virus spreads by contact with infected blood and bodily fluids - and touching the body of someone who has died of Ebola is particularly dangerous.

To put this into context, Ebola kills between 50% and 90% of its victims, so the stakes are very, very high here.

NOTE: We have reported on the fact that Ebola can spread through the air in three separate articles since March of 2014, here, here and here, however the corporate media has continued to misrepresent the vectors of transmission.

This particular strain of Ebola is not Ebola Zaire. This is a new strain, and it may in fact be more dangerous than the Zaire variety. Not because of any difference in the symptoms (the symptoms are identical), but because this new virus seems to be harder to contain. Whether this is due to some characteristic of the virus itself or merely dumb luck is uncertain at this time, but the rate at which this outbreak has extended its range is unprecedented.

According to the CDC this virus is genetically 97% similar to the Zaire strain. However if you are interested in this virus' phylogenetic relationship (genetic lineage) to the Zaire strain you should look read "Phylogenetic Analysis of Guinea 2014 EBOV Ebolavirus Outbreak" on plos.org.

Another study by the New England Journal of medicine (this was the one referenced by the CDC) specifically names the parts of the genetic code which differ:

The three sequences, each 18,959 nucleotides in length, were identical with the exception of a few polymorphisms at positions 2124 (G→A, synonymous), 2185 (A→G, NP552 glycine→glutamic acid), 2931 (A→G, synonymous), 4340 (C→T, synonymous), 6909 (A→T, sGP291 arginine→tryptophan), and 9923 (T→C, synonymous).

Note that there doesn't yet seem to be a consensus as to what this new strain is called. One study referred to it as "Guinean EBOV", another as "Guinea 2014 EBOV Ebolavirus" and others are still referring to it as Zaire. Given that we can specifically name the points where the virus has mutated, using the old name is misleading.

Right now the question on everyone's minds is whether this virus will spread outside of Africa. Considering the fact that Ebola has a three week incubation period, can travel through the air, and has already hitchhiked onto an international flight, this is a very real possibility. There are some that are downplaying the probability of this outcome, and to be honest, I hope that they are right, but the simple fact of the matter is that these people are basing their assessment on the faulty premise that Ebola is not an airborne virus.

Now the first thing you might be feeling when looking at this situation is a sense of fear and helplessness, and while that's a perfectly normal reaction it's really not helpful. Instead we should be thinking in terms of practical steps we can take to influence the outcome.

One thing we can all do is to start confronting journalists and public officials who keep making false statements regarding the way Ebola spreads. Use the links to the original study, the BBC report from 2012 and this video to put them in their place.

We also need to confront the fact that there isn't a full out, coordinated, international effort to contain this. This is being treated like a sideshow but it has the very real potential to become a main event.

The doctors on the ground in West Africa don't have enough staff or resources to deal with this situation. It is absolutely inexcusable for the U.S. and the E.U. to be investing billions of tax payer dollars into their little power games in Ukraine and Syria (which are both in the process of escalating right now by the way) while Ebola is getting a foothold in Africa. Every available resource should be shifted to West Africa in order to contain and extinguish this epidemic right now.



Why is this random air travel more dangerous?

Because if it gets in when people aren't looking, it can spread before containment measures are put into place.

P.S. If you want to learn more about Ebola I highly recommend that you read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.

Unfortunately, simply bringing in financial help and military hardware from around the world to help locate the missing girls is only a stop-gap measure for Nigeria: it will not halt the endemic problem of corruption that fuels insecurity.

Nigeria’s government and its armed forces and police are mistrusted by the people – nine out of 10 people said the police were corrupt in the 2013 Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer and 45 per cent said the military was corrupt.

The scandals surrounding so-called “security votes”, which allow politicians to appropriate millions of dollars behind closed doors simply by evoking “national security”, for example, are well documented.

Former president Sani Abacha is estimated to have allegedly siphoned off more than $1.1 billion using 60 “security votes”, leaving the Nigerian military extremely under-resourced. The slow response to Boko Haram’s abduction of the girls is a legacy of an institution not fit for purpose.

In the recent Government Defence Anti-Corruption Index, which rated 82 countries on their anti-corruption policies, Nigeria’s score indicated a very high level of corruption risk. It was criticised for its lack of overall transparency and having no anti-corruption plan in place for the military, no training for personnel, and significant opaque off-budget military expenditure.

Every available resource should be shifted to West Africa in order to contain and extinguish this epidemic right now.

This is serious. Call them, write them, heckle them in the streets if you have to, but don't allow them to ignore this issue. Make it impossible for them to pretend later that they didn't know.

Now whether or not official policy towards the Ebola crisis changes there are some precautions that you should take right now for yourself and your family.

1. Know where you would go if you needed to leave your home on short notice. If Ebola escapes Africa the last place you want to be is in a densely populated metropolitan area. It may be that the most practical destination for your family would be a rural area near your current home, but if you already have concerns about the government you are living under, and how they may handle a crisis like this, then you might want to start looking at alternatives. Finding an alternative location that suits your family's needs is something that requires a lot of time and research, so don't put this off. The primary characteristics you should be examining in an alternative destination are geography , political environment, climate, population density and visa terms and requirements. Ideally you would want to end up somewhere that is geographically isolated to some degree.

2. If you don't have passports for yourself and each of your dependents, get them now. This is not to say that you should leave your country, but you should have the means to do so. In countries where the Ebola outbreak is underway it is getting harder and harder to exit. Borders are being closed down. Flights are being cut off. This didn't happen right away, but you definitely don't want to be waiting for your passport to show up if Ebola arrives in your city.

3. Know what you would carry with you if you had to leave on short notice. Have those items ready, and have the luggage to carry them. It would be wise to consider buying a pack of surgical masks as part of this.

Now if you think about it, these preparations are wise steps to take regardless of whether the Ebola situation deteriorates or not. Knowing where you would go in an emergency, and having the means to get there on short notice is important for a wide variety of situations. The civilian population of Iraq, Syria, east Ukraine, and Gaza can attest to that.

Whatever you do don't let fear take control of your mind. Take the steps you can take now, monitor the situation calmly, and be prepared to adapt if necessary.

[UPDATE July 31st]: A number of people have requested that I comment on the fact that the Americans infected by Ebola are right now being flown into the U.S. My personal opinion is that this particular move will not lead to the virus getting out. This event is going to be highly scrutinized, and the isolation security should be at max. The real danger isn't in these highly controlled transfers and quarantines, but rather in the ongoing flow of air travel from these regions. Thirty five countries are merely one flight away from an Ebola zone right now.

Why is this random air travel more dangerous?

Because if it gets in when people aren't looking, it can spread before containment measures are put into place.

P.S. If you want to learn more about Ebola I highly recommend that you read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.

.....

Evil wicked leaders, I hope they choke in their greed, I hope they are all lined up and shot in the head.
This is Nigeria and I know nothing will happen, he will probably get a national honour just like Bode George and Abacha.

Vicjay1: Every body here is helpless. We need fire service men to come and put off the fire.

Fire service?? Have you forgotten you live in a hopeless country? A country where over 200 girls have been missing for several months and yet the leaders are busy campaigning for elections, what a bunch of selfish wicked people. Until we all rise up and bring down these animals and start realising pdp and apc or whatever they call themselves these days are all the same bunch of shameless animals with no integrity and dignity, we have to carry on suffering and smiling

...

I went through the horror of that useless Nigeria high Commission when I lost my passport. I was given an appointment for 9am thinking I will be seen at that time. I got there at 7am only to find a very long queue of people who had been given the same time slot as me. I did not leave that God forsaken place until 5pm on that day. We were packed in a very tight basement room on a hot summer day. We had to put up with kids screaming, grown up men and women trading insults at one another, Staff cant be bothered about anything, that place was just a joke.My passport will soon expire and I am really nervous just thinking of going there again.

shindarayo: if u heard boko haram wld bomb lagos today wont u forget wat ull eat for d nnext one week and stay home.abi hs boko haram started giving pple money

Comments like this only highlights the sheer ignorance and inability of most Nigerians to engage in a grown up discussion without bringing meaningless comparison into it. So because bokoharam are causing chaos in our country, you silly tw@t think it's okay for other religions yo put restrictions on our lives, and you wonder why Africa is in its sorry state. Other continents are sending men to the moon, coming up with new technological innovations that amazes everyone, my own people are dancing around in masquerades and threatening their fellow citizens.

ghananotnaija: Haters keep hating, but Ghana keeps advancing!

By the way, what are you doing on a Nigerian forum if you don't like Nigerians? Ghana is not my cup of tea and I will never visit a ghanian forum if you guys have one.

donnypool: Op you are totally wrong in some aspect, economic wise Black countries are poor but mentally body is equal, there is no curse anywhere, its not due to slavery or any other thing, but it is due to greed. The mind of an average African mind is filled with greed, the average African man want to be better than the rest, so therefore he careless to provide jobs just so that the man he tagged poor will not be richer than himself tomorrow. Dangote is a billionaire, but what has he done to help Nigeria?, Abacha stole billions, where did he keep the money? James Ibori went and bought estate in UK with investment, why didn't he build the estate here?

I don't blame our leaders but even the people ain't good either. Blacks are succeeding every where in different countries but the ones in the black govern countries are suffering. Go to Winnipeg Alberta Canada and see how those greedy leaders spend money on their Kids?, you will broke into tears.

My friend, the problem with Black African's is greed..

You just hit the nail on the head. Our problem is greed, white people take advantage of that greed to gain access to our natural resources. Unfortunately our youths are too tribalistic to realise this and it will remain like this for a long time judging by the comments I read on African forums on a daily basis.

Is it those boys scouts they are calling commando?


Commando ko terminator nii!

Most Nigerians don't know what their families and friends are going through abroad. A lot of them are working their nuts off just to pay their bills and you lots wants to do juju on them because they did not send you money. Bad evil people.

Those snakes are probably protecting their dinner.

If only God can tell him where Shekau is hiding!

If only Nigerians can put the same time they spend on reading fairy tales to science and technological innovation, our country will be a better place.

Are there no health and safety laws in Nigeria? None of those guys are in high visibility jackets, not all of them have got safety hats and boots

A man jumps from a swamp boat in the water to feed chicken and marshmallows to two alligators. At one point the guide puts a marshmallow in his mouth and lets one of the gators snatch it away.

The scene was captured on video by Stacy Hicks of St. Helens, Oregon, who visited the area in May. The video has been shared more than 100,000 times on Facebook.

"When he (the guide) jumped in I was a little scared, more for him than us though. I am surprised at the attention this video has gotten. I just thought that this was a thing that happens all the time on the tours," Hicks said.

There is no state law prohibiting luring and feeding of alligators, but it's against local law in Jefferson Parish, where the Airboat Adventures tour company is based.

Bo Boehringer, a spokesman for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, said wildlife agents and parish officials are reviewing the video to determine if there was any wrongdoing.

Legal or not, wildlife officials say the video shows the unidentified guide took a risk.

According to Aleutia Scott, a supervising ranger at Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, alligators are "eating machines," and a big one has massive force in its jaws.

The alligators in the video appear to be about 5 feet long, indicating they are still growing, Scott said. Alligators are roughly a foot in length at birth and at full maturity, females can reach lengths of 8 to 10 feet and males 12 to 14 feet, she said.

Human interaction with the reptiles could make them aggressive, Scott said.

"This is not a zoo. This is a natural habitat," she said. "The animals need to be doing their normal things. Feeding. Foraging. Reproducing. And we, as humans, don't want to interrupt that."

The fact that most of these so called miracle pastors never go to Borno or hold holy ghost service in Sambisa forest says it all. They all stay in the peaceful south and boast on how they are not scared of any devil.

Germany and Arsenal superstar Mesut Ozil is to donate his £350,000 [$600,000] World Cup winnings to the children of Gaza following his country's triumph in the global spectacle, according to the Middle East Monitor.
As the conflict in the Middle East rages following a failed ceasefire, it is claimed that Ozil is ready to give the £237,000 bonus he received for helping Germany win the final, and the £118,000 he received for Germany's semi-final win, to the occupied territory.
Ozil, however, is yet to confirm the actual beneficiaries of his largesse and reports of his Gaza donation have been disputed, with some suggesting his winnings have gone to charities in Brazil instead.
Ozil is of Turkish descent and a practising Muslim who recites the Quran before games. He controversially opted not to fast during the tournament, which fell in the holy month of Ramadan in which Muslims fast from dawn until sunset.
Ozil reportedly caused controversy when he declined to shake a Fifa official's hand because of his support for Israel.
Arsenal's club-record signing (£42.5 million) has quickly settled to life in England, winning the FA Cup with the Gunners before playing an integral role in Germany's march to victory in Brazil.
A nine-day outbreak of conflict between Israel and militant group Hamas has seen over 1,000 rockets fired into Israel and over 1,300 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian officials have said that 207 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's Operation Protective Edge while one Israeli has died in southern Israel after being hit by a mortar.
The Gaza Strip is a narrow territory occupied by Israel currently under a land, sea and air blockade. According to the United Nations and aid agencies, humanitarian conditions have continued to deteriorate rapidly because of the blockade.
In addition to Ozil's act of generosity, other Muslim representatives at the World Cup have also sent their prize money to the occupied coastal enclave.
After reaching the second round of the tournament, Algeria donated their £5.25m prize money to the people of Gaza.
Algeria striker Islam Slimani announced that the entire squad would donate the money to the territory because "they need it more than us", according to a report in the Daily Mail.

On Friday, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Nigeria unleashed terror on a police officer on duty at the official residence of IGP MD Abubakar in Maitama District of Abuja.

According to an eyewitness, the envoy tried to pass through a barricade set infront of the IGP’s house but was ordered to turn back by the policemen on duty.

He was politely told to take another route due to security reasons however, Rajeh insisted on using the route. He was reported to have forcefully ordered the policemen to remove the barricade for his convoy to pass.

When they turned down his request, he resorted to engaging the policemen in a hot exchange of words using verbally abusive language.

At some point, the ambassador became infuriated and began punching one of the policemen on duty at the IGP’s house.

The situation, our source further revealed, took another twist, resulting in the Saudi ambassador rushing to a top presidency official for intervention, apparently to stop the matter from getting out of hand, or even arousing his superiors in Saudi Arabia.

Africa is such an awesome continent. It's a shame it's plagued with bad leaders. I wonder what the shameless animals discuss in the African Union meetings. They should all be lined up and shot in the head. They have made us the laughing stock of the world. I know one day things will get better. We Africans need to start believing in ourselves, because it is us that can transform this continent not the white man that only comes to take advantage of our bad leadership to get whatever resources they want.

ARES: Islam work perfectly in countries that own them, look at dubai, saudi, jordan..... u never hear them fight...... the minute it crosses to africa or places where the literacy level is low, it becomes a recipe for disaster

You forgot to include Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iran etc....
Iran has one of the highest literacy levels in the middle east.
