What special about this?
Israel plus Palestine is 50% Muslims

Expulsion of US and Elimination of Israel and a final nail to the deal of the century

Isreal and Palestine are same country
They should understand that

Still in Afghanistan?
I remember US dropping the So called Mother of all bombs in that same Afghanistan and still the war continues

Non of these regional security apparatus will help Nigeria's unity because they are conceived with sinister motives toward some ethnic groups in the country. For those that are shouting HISBAH and civilian JTF in the North are also illegal, they should look at the aforementioned from different perspectives because Hisbah was created by Kano state and civilian JTF by Borno state non of these Security agencies are allowed to use gun or any sophisticated weapons
But amatekun or whatever they call it is a different case because
1.a whole geo-political zone decided to create it
2. They will be allowed to use weapons
3. They are being supported by people of questionable character e.g Nnamdi KANU
4. Other regions might do the same hence the federal police will be useless and conflicts will started based on perceived injustice by people of different ethnicity.


Therefore amatekun or whatever is dead and buried the Northerners will not agree will these sort of security arrangements, if you want secure your region cooperate with the police and army in your respective states, support them with necessary , material and financial support and watch how things will change

And we served them hot pepper
Igbos naturally hate northerners once they killed northern leaders northerners reduce their population by 1/5 it is a demographical gap that they can never fill.

If you look at Nigeria carefully you can see that most of the divisive problem we are facing is caused by the People from the east.
Their stupidity is nulli Secondus can you imagine them displaying gory images of dead Sardauna in a volatile city like Kano and Kaduna?

Northerners massacre them like chicken and follow them down east and completed what they started. That serve them right

AJ Impact/NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Could UAE nuclear reactors imperil the Gulf?
Reactor due to come online in March could elevate risk of an arms race and environmental catastrophe, says analyst.

When it comes to safeguarding the wellbeing of planet Earth, fossil fuels are an increasingly controversial energy source. Nuclear is arguably more so, given the experience of Chernobyl and the potential to convert civilian nuclear technology to military uses.

Those risks become even more ominous when a nuclear power plant is introduced into a tinderbox of geopolitical rivalries like the Arabian Peninsula.

But that's where the region is headed.
This week, the world learned that after years of delays, the United Arab Emirates is set to bring the first of four nuclear reactors in the Al Dhafra Region of Abu Dhabi online by the end of March.

The UAE's nuclear power plant is named Barakah - Arabic for "divine blessing". That is how UAE Minister of State Sultan bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber spun it at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week conference, telling reporters earlier this week "we will become the first country in the region to deliver safe, commercial and peaceful nuclear power".
But some nuclear experts are not so sanguine, and are warning of the potential curse that could be unleashed by Barakah, from a nuclear arms race to environmental catastrophe.

'Significant questions' about relative safety
A recent report by Paul Dorfman, chair of the non-profit Nuclear Consulting Group, titled Gulf Nuclear Ambition: New Reactors in the United Arab Emirates, highlights myriad risks inherent in Barakah's design.

Among the most prominent reds flags is the firm that won the contract to build Barakah - Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), which clinched the deal with a bid that was "spectacularly low, about 30% lower than the next cheapest bid," the report says.

That bargain-basement price was made possible, the report notes, thanks to a lack of "key improved safety design features" normally expected on new European reactors but missing from those built by KEPCO.

Such features include a so-called "core catcher" to prevent the nuclear reactor core from breaching the containment building in the event of a meltdown and other defences to guard against a significant radiation release in the event of an accident or deliberate attack on the facility.

Further compounding these omissions, says the report, is "the discovery of cracking in all 4 reactor containment buildings" and the installation of faulty valves - all of which cast doubt over the UAE's ability to provide "adequate nuclear regulation".

The UAE is the only country that has purchased a KEPCO reactor. But if it proves unable to contain radioactive fallout resulting from an accident or attack, this won't just be a problem for the Emirates.

Radioactive fallout travels, and the UAE's neighbours are already voicing concerns.

In March, Qatar's foreign affairs ministry reportedly sent a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency saying that a radioactive plume from an accidental discharge could reach its capital, Doha, within five to 13 hours - and a radiation leak could devastate the Gulf's water supply due to the region's heavy reliance on desalination plants.

Regional tensions and broader security issues
Despite the UAE's insistence that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful, concerns about the potential for proliferation abound given the geopolitical rifts between neighbouring Gulf countries and the recent ratcheting up of tensions in the Middle East.

This month, fears of a military escalation engulfing the Middle East were heightened after the United States assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in an air attack and Tehran retaliated with missile attacks on US airbases in Iraq.

Qatar is currently the subject of an ongoing diplomatic, trade and transport blockade by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt over allegations that Doha supports "terrorism" and is too close to Iran. Qatar has rejected such claims.

In September, a drone attack on Saudi Aramco's oil facilities raised serious concerns about the vulnerability of the region's energy infrastructure to assaults.

"As recent military strikes against Saudi oil refineries infer, nuclear safety revolves around the broader issue of security," notes Dorfman in his report, "especially since belligerent armed groups may view UAE military operations as a reason to target nuclear installations or intercept enriched uranium fuel or waste transfers nationally or regionally."

Such warnings have not deterred the UAE from pressing ahead and sticking to the script. Abu Dhabi continues to insists its nuclear programme is grounded in transparency, safety, security, sustainability and international cooperation.

The region can only hope those principals are enforced as UAE pulls the Arabian Peninsula across the nuclear threshold.

Why does Iran need these kind of weapons?


They want become the bully of middle east
Their ballistic missiles have covered Israel Saudi Arabia and almost all the middle east what will happened if they get a nuclear weapon?

One thing about America and Israel is that they will never show you their weakness and they will never tell you the truth they lie and lie and cover it .

We will never know the truth about what happened that Night both IRAN and America can not trusted

No where is safe these days
In US gunshots everywhere

They have Hijack Imo and they will never release Kano for Strategic political reason. Kano people should just manage their Ganduje after all the man is working hard even at his second term

Happy

They should just rest the case Kano have move on

sweetonugbu:
Religion, let me take one bo first

You have been sharing this image making it as if the woman in the pic have been confirmed to be a Muslim, Hijab is a normal dressing for many Christians as well, visit Kano and see it yourself


Back to the topic
Shaking hands between opposite sex is not permissible in Islam but the bottom line is that

The holy Qur'an makes it clearly that "there is no compulsion in religion" what she did is between her and her creator
But many people will start shouting that Shariah is for the poor

Dualisation Work has not started in Zaria-Sokoto Road and they have not complete Kano-Katsina Dual road

This too will be good in OGUN STATE which lacks fly overseas though, traffic is not so much of wahala. And beautification projects in Ogun State will be a welcome idea too.

Ogun State don't need this
Kano State is damn congested despite all these bridge Traffic hold off is still an Issue

You that is mentioning fuel, No be the same Abia people that queued and Collected Kerosene during the electioneering.

Abia is Cursed

Hmm

I am not understanding

Fasindo:




Nice one from Gandollar.
He has proven that one can be corrupt nd still work 4 d gud of the people unlike Buhari that made it seems otherwise.
This looks likes Secretariat bridge Jos

But it is totally wrong for a vice president to travel all the way from Abuja to Kano just to commission a flyover.
If u check what has been spent just to bring him to Kano it will enough to build at least 5 primary health centres nd equip them.


The bridge needs adequate maintenance to continue looking as beautiful as it is.
I hope almajiris, Mai Suya mallams, Meruwas nd beggars won't make it look as dirty as pit toilet in a month time.

I'm even very sure immediately after it commission some Moslem guys will turn it to a praying ground

It is already a praying ground my friend the bridge is totally closed on every Friday from 1:30 to 2pm
By the way what is your Issue with that?

Had it been this project is from the poto poto republic by now we will have already seen 1000 pics of the project right from Inception, from 1% completed to 100% completed

Osinbajo who arrived at the VIP Wing of the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport was received by the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, his Deputy, Nasiru Gawuna and senior government officials.

The Vice President will use the occasion of his visit to commission the Alhassan Dantata Bridge in Sabon Gari, Tijjani Hashim Flyover in Kofar Ruwa areas of the state.
He will also perform the foundation laying ceremony and inspection of some projects embarked upon by the state government.

You should thank God with the kind of governors Kano and Jigawa States are getting compare to other State which are total failure

This flyover is very Huge, and complex I heard it is close to 2km in length starting from GT bank along Murtala Muhammad Way and Ends at(I don't know the Name, around Fagge local government) it has several wings in Igbo Road, Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Fagge Secretariat, Niger Street, Lagos Street, Yankura Etc.

Kano has many flyover and there are still some under construction.

1-Kwankwasiyya Flyover
2-Obasanjo Flyover
3-Ado Bayero Flyover
3-Aminu Dantata Flyover( Sabon Gari)
4- Zaria Road Flyover
5- Dangi Roundabout Bridge

These are the only ones thag I know as a Corper serving in Kano

Not mentioning many Underpass that dotted the town above all Kano is very clean Especially the Main roads

Bloody thieves enjoy the next level as well.
I even wish the Federal Government will only give them 2K next Christmas

Righteousness89:
My Brother.... Arab Cannot take over Isreal...

Isreal is a Jewish state.. with JERUSALEM as it capital..

Really?
Is like you know more than the Israelis themselves

Righteousness89:
Let them keep Decieving themselves...

The Time to Sort out all these Argument is close

That argument can not be solve
Israel can not absorb Palestine and can not allow Palestine to be independent again
Is just complicated situation. Israel wants a Jewish state absorbing Palestine will make it 50/50 Arab and Jews and democratically Arab will take over the country because of the higher birth rate of the Arabs
Even in Mainland Israel Arabs made over 19% of the country, then imaging merging Israel and Palestine together again, cities like Hebron, Nablus, Jericho, Bethlehem are 99% Arabs and they fall withing Palestine

Jeopardy, America’s family favourite trivia gameshow, has stirred up anger over the Israel-Palestine conflict after locating the city of Bethlehem on the wrong side of the disputed border between the two territories.

The programme has aired more than 8,000 episodes and identifies itself as “America’s favourite quiz show” – but was criticised for incorrectly locating the city following a question about Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity in the West Bank.
In an episode aired on 10 January contestant Katie Needle answered that the holy site was located in Palestine but was told this was incorrect by host Alex Trebek, and docked $200 in keeping with the rules of the show.
She was quickly followed by Jack McGuire who said the church was in Israel – an answer greeted with the words “that’s it” from the host.

Since the 1993 Oslo Accords, Bethlehem, along with other regions of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, has been overseen the Palestinian National Authority – while the United Nations has previously identified the church as a world heritage site in Palestine.
And while the nation is not formally recognised by the US, Bethlehem is regarded by the US State Department as part of disputed Palestinian territory.
Bethlehem is in the Palestinian territories which Israel illegally occupies (Katie Needle got the correct answer & was robbed)”, he added on Twitter. “Jeopardy owes an apology for endorsing Israel's universally-condemned illegal takeover of Palestinian lands.”

American TV show Jeopardy says Bethlehem is in Israel, not Palestine
Arab American Institute says show 'owes an apology for endorsing Israel's universally-condemned illegal takeover of Palestinian land.
Omar Baddar, deputy director for non-profit advocacy organisation the Arab American Institute, said the show’s decision to identify Bethlehem as within Isreal was “unacceptable”.

“Bethlehem is in the Palestinian territories which Israel illegally occupies (Katie Needle got the correct answer & was robbed)”, he added on Twitter. “Jeopardy owes an apology for endorsing Israel's universally-condemned illegal takeover of Palestinian lands.”


Miqdaad Versi of the Muslim Council of Britain added the decision was “very poor”, adding “Bethlehem is in Palestine, not Israel. This should not be difficult.”

However, fans of the show noted that following an ad break Ms Needle, who ultimately won the episode, appeared to have been reimbursed the $200 she had lost out on through her answer – although no explanation was given for the decision.

The Independent has reached out to Sony Pictures Entertainment, the producers of Jeopardy, for comment.

The United States military tried, but failed, to kill another senior Iranian commander on the same day a US drone strike killed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard's top general, Qassem Soleimani, US officials said Friday.
The officials said a military air attack targeted Abdul Reza Shahlai, a high-ranking commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), but the mission was not successful. The officials spoke to the Associated Press news agency on condition of anonymity in order to discuss a classified mission.

The Pentagon declined to discuss the highly classified operation.
"We have seen the report of a January 2 air strike in Yemen, which is long understood as a safe space for terrorists and other adversaries to the United States. The Department of Defense does not discuss alleged operations in the region," said Navy Commander Rebecca Rebarich, a Pentagon spokesperson.
The Washington Post first reported the development.

The US Department of the Treasury said Shahlai was based in Yemen and accused him of "a long history of targeting Americans and US allies globally", including killing US-led coalition forces in Iraq. It has offered a $15m reward in connection with him under its "Rewards for Justice" programme.

The US has accused Shahlai of coordinating a failed 2011 plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US at a cafe in an upscale neighbourhood of the US capital.

"Shahlai approved financial allotments ... to help recruit other individuals for the plot, approving $5m as payment for all of the operations discussed," the Treasury Department said.

A US drone strike on January 3 killed Soleimani shortly after he landed at Baghdad International Airport. Trump administration officials have justified the killing as an act of self-defence, saying Soleimani was planning military acts that threatened large numbers of US military and diplomatic officials in the Middle East. Iran, however, called the attack an act of "terrorism", and on Wednesday launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two bases in Iraq that house US and coalition forces. No one was killed in that retaliation.

The unsuccessful operation against Shahlai may indicate that the Trump administration's killing of Soleimani last week was part of a broader operation than previously explained, raising questions about whether the mission was designed to cripple the leadership of the IRGC or solely to prevent an imminent attack on Americans as originally stated.

The Trump administration has been under fire by Democrats and two Republicans in Congress over its decision to order the drone strike that killed Soleimani.

In an interview that aired on Fox News on Thursday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged that the US did not know "precisely" when or where the imminent attacks allegedly being planned by Soleimani would take place, but said the threat was "real".

Trump on Friday said Iran probably had targeted the US embassy in Baghdad and was aiming to attack four US embassies.

"We will tell you probably it was going to be the embassy in Baghdad," Trump said in a clip of an interview on Fox News. "I can reveal that I believe it would have been four embassies."

US military operations in Yemen, where a civil war has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, are shrouded in secrecy. US officials said the operation against Shahlai remains highly classified, and many declined to offer details other than to say it was not successful.
