Arab lands stretch from Northwest Africa through Algeria, Libya, Egypt all the way to Iraq, Kuwait Qatar. A very massive expanse of land.

Compared to that, Israel is just a tiny speck.

But to stand with Palestine, Arabs ensure the Palestinians stay in Gaza even when common sense dictates they should be given passageway out of Gaza. So clearly, to stand with Palestine does not mean to love them, but to hate Israel.

As for the riffraffs trying to sway the support of Nigerian Christians against Israel, it'll help if you start by condemning Hamas and their terrorist attack on Israel.

To show sincerity, hold mass protests and insist that justice be done to the murderers of Deborah in Sokoto State, for not only was she a civilian, and a Christian, she was also a defenceless woman from an ethnic minority.

They need to see that you're not just propagating your religion through any means possible.

AND THIS IS AN ENTIRE (overhyped) NATION AGAINST SMALL HAMAS.

SEE AS DEM DEY SEND PRINTOUT OF SMALL TOWN VICTORY 😂.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS OF "GAYS OWN PEOPLE" JUST TWO DAYS AGO?

Please go to your Twitter space and announce it that IDF is coming to Gaza. All innocent civilians should leave immediately. Terrorists can stay and die for what they believe in. For tomorrow, the terrorists shall surely die 😊😂🤣

motayoayinde:
"THE STRONGEST ARMY IN THE UNIVERSE" IS AFRAID TO SHOW THE CASUALTIES FIGURE 😂.

HAMAS STILL HOLDING ON TO MANY TOWNS.

UNPRECEDENTED BLOODY NOSE HERE.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Despite the fact that it's a war, human lives still have value.

But Israel will give the terrorists a beating they won't forget in a hurry...

FreeStuffsNG:
With US backing. US is today fighting a serious war backing Ukraine against a super power like Russia.
Just last week, US Congress stopped the funding of Ukraine war. The US Congress is in disarray and US is in the middle of election campaigns.
Isreal is very very vulnerable now with the huge pressure on US. That's why the UN security council must prevail on both parties to stop the killings. The dead is now over 500 on the Isreal side. That's a huge loss when you consider the multiple families grieving now . Palestinians are already used to being killed by the Isreali

Please stick to your local politics of tribe and "reciprocity". Stop dabbling in areas you know nothing about.

Imagine you now saying the fighting should stop, now that the tide has turned and the assailants are beginning to take a serious beating. Lol. Have you given up on your old woman that was crying and laying curses?

All the old women crying in Nigeria as a result of the misrule by your patrons - theirs are not genuine tears, abi?

Just stick to your reciprocity speeches and free stuffs, please. Nairalanders know how to ignore them...

Lies...

There are European Jews, Jews from Morocco, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, even from Ethiopia. They are as diverse as it comes.

You really need to avoid reading tabloid papers and revise your history lessons.

It is quite instructive that we both agree the Jews did not apply any force in taking back the land where their ancestors lived, died and were buried. They went about it peacefully, without going into Palestinian homes and butchering mothers along with their children as the Palestinians are doing today.

Let's move on.

When the Jews were talking to the British, weren't the Arabs also doing same? Aren't you aware that there were armed Arab militias devoted to ensuring that Jews fleeing the Holocaust do not land in present-day Israel?

Aren't you aware that the Arabs were able to convince the League of Nations to create two countries, one for the Jews, and another for the Arabs - to be situated along the Transjordan, now named Jordan?

Are you aware that consequent upon these decisions, Jews in all the Arab lands were expelled creating a massive refugee situation? Refugees that the new Jewish nation absorbed without hesitation and settled?

Aren't you also aware that there were no hostilities between the Jews and the Arabs till the Arab nations declared war on the newly-formed State of Israel? You are also aware that the purpose of the war was to obliterate the Jews? And to that end, the Arab population in Israel was asked to leave the area to enable the Arab armies kill every human that breathes in the "killzone"? And that consequent upon that, the Arabs almost all left the land.
The outcome of that war, which lasted six days is well known to us.
Aren't you aware that the Arabs that stayed with Israel retained their lands and were not evicted, while those that left became refugees in the lands of their own brothers? Heck, even the Bedouins that stayed are Israeli citizens today.
Aren't you also aware that while the Jewish nation immediately absorbed their own refugees, the Arabs refused to absorb theirs, till today, generations after, moreso when the Kingdom of Jordan was created to cater to them?

When you talk about land-grabbing during wars initiated by Palestinians, are you telling me that it's okay for the Palestinians to take over land if they win, but wrong for the Jews to do so?

To recap, we both agree that:

Historically, the land first belonged to the Jews.

Today, it still belongs to the Jews.

Morally, the Jews should keep it, and the Palestinians should be absorbed by their brothers that convinced them to leave the land while they expelled the Jews from their own lands.

Legally, the kingdom of Jordan should absorb the Palestinians, for they were formed for that very purpose.

As such, any militia that invades Israel to begin killing mothers and children is just a terrorist group, and frankly, they have been cuddled by Israel for so long. We all saw how Turkey treated the Kurds in their own territory.

As for dieing for the land, has Israel ever minced words about their resolve? It is the Palestinians that need to come to a consensus over that, as they start crying out whenever they take a good spanking from the Israeli Police.

StOla:
Nothing stops the Jews from pushing in.

The thing is the Arabs did not realise they were at war because no guns were being fired until the Jews had cunningly taken over the Arab lands and convinced the British to let them declare an Isreal territory over the greater part of what remained of the Palestine region.

And even at that, the Jews still encroached on even the parts of Palestine that was not allocated as their territory, and also uprooted whole Arab owned villages from within the territory of Israel, and ensured that the Arabs became refugees that were never allowed to return.

Not to now even talk about the rest of the land they have been grabbing with every war that has been fought onwards.

So if the Jews want to keep the lands they should be ready to die for it.

As far as I am concerned, the Jews are the occupiers in Palestine that the world should never have allowed to happen.

Thank you for reaffirming that the land earlier belonged to the Jews.

Now, if the Arabs inhabited the place by "pushing in", what stops the original owners of the land claiming back their heritage by "pushing in" also?

StOla:
Jerusalem got its name from the Hebrew (Jews) who had displaced the Canaanites from their land.

After centuries of Hebrew domination as the 12 tribe Israelite nation was eventually reduced to 2 tribes of Benjamin and Judah, that remainder of the Hebrew Israelite nation was referred to as Jews and their region referred to as Judea.

With Roman Empire expansion into the Levant region (Middle-East) of Asia, the Jews lived under the domination of the Romans. Eventually the Romans sacked Jerusalem and the Jews as a subset of the Hebrew that no longer existed, scattered into different parts of the world.

Over the centuries the Roman Empire declined and other empires took hold of the many diverse land holdings of the Romans.

The Arabs pushed into the Palestine region in the 7th century, and despite many other empires staking a claim to the Palestine region over the many centuries, the inhabitants remained largely Arab, but did not exclude Jews who came around from time to time and those Jews who remained as an insignificant few.

The Arabs continued dominating the region know as Palestine up till the start of the 20th century, such that the region had 90% Palestinian population that was not Jewish as at 1919, despite that 2 waves of Jewish migration from Europe had already occurred as at then.

Let's dissect your revised history piece by piece:

How and when did Jerusalem get it's name? From the Arabs?

How and when did these Arabs come to occupy the area?

Who were the people they met there?

StOla:
There is nothing deceptive about it, but truly some sprinkling of Jews (Zulus) and remnants of other previous occupier had remained in Yoruba land even while Yorubas dominated the land for many centuries into the modern age.

Using the Yoruba identity to adapt this historical tale is also apt, since the Arabs had occupied the Palestine region since the 7th century, long before there was a Yoruba civilization in West Africa.

So it was a better analogy than using modern day Fulani encroachment of the Nigerian Middle-Belt to describe the Arabs of Palestine that have occupied their own region for over a millennium.

As at 1919, despite 2 waves of European Jewish migration to Palestine already, the Palestinian Muslims and Christians still had 90% of the population of the region.

The zionist Jews bought land in the region and began renaming Arab villages and towns as Jewish villages and towns.

tollyboy5:
Israel claim of an ancestral land that was not really theirs in the beginning was needless. If we all start checking our past histories to where we originally came from, and start reclaiming land the whole world will be at war.
We've gone past the days of its God that gave our ancestors this land.

Tell that to Hamas.

This adaptation is highly deceptive as it deliberately omits some very important facts in the narrative.

Firstly, it tells us the Zulus only came back and own just the land they bought. This is outrightly false.
For over 2000 years, Jews have been living in the land. They had just been subjugated by several imperial powers. They were also scattered across not just Europe, but the Middle East and Africa. But they retained connections to their ancestral land, performing pilgrimages throughout the ages, sometimes if only just to be buried on that land. Maimonides is a famous example of that.

Secondly, likening the present day Palestinians to the Yoruba is a false analogy. The Yoruba have lived where they are today for thousands of years, and as far as everyone knows, they did not displace anyone to settle where they are today. This is in complete contrast to the situation in the Middle East where even the name Jerusalem was given to the place by the Jews. A more truer adaptation would be that of Plateau State where the Fulani are displacing the original indigenes. If one day, the original indigenes get up and take back their land, the Fulani would then form a PLO to fight and terrorize these indigenes. Supporting such a PLO would be unjust.

Obi is not an Einstein, and we Nigerians know that. We really do not need an Einstein to move this country forward. We chose Obi because he has the sincerity it takes to move the country forward. His antecedence also shows he will not run a transactional government. That is what this country needs now.

Carcholce:
Sorry if this offends anyone here, Peter Obi is not really learned as campaigned. During the interview, he froze several times when he realizes he wasn’t driving any points. He just talks and talks like a rolling ball, rolling into a ditch. He freezes and starts looking up to ascertain if he was actually making sense, I knew it had nothing to do with his internet signal because I saw him blink while looking up and away from the camera. the interviewers kept calling to him and he ignores until they call for a quick break.

Is this the man some people were selling to Nigerians? Tinubu is no better, Atiku is worse but I am really disappointed Obi isn’t any different. Yesterday was actually my first time spending time in front of the TV watching him in an interview.

Svoboda:
So, the christians always coalesce behind pdp candidates since 1999?

In 2023, both lp and apc had christian candidates, why didnt the christians queue behind either of them. You sound like the gen danjuma angle isnt a determining factor in whom becomes gov in Taraba.

It is. The Muslims in Taraba are industrious, hardworking and have the funds they need to run a campaign. In contrast, the Christians are majorly civil servants and rural farmers. TY's funds and guidance helps make a lot of difference.

garfield1:
How was he outvoted when Xtians divided votes between kefas and bwacha

Rereaad my comment to understand what I wrote. By election day, Bwacha's supporters simply queued behind Kefas.

Note that the Christians have a clear majority in Taraba. Their margin of lead is not negligible. They could lose a lot of votes and still beat whoever the Muslims queue behind.

Just know this - in Taraba, it's all about religion. And each group would not mind voting the most mediocre person among them if it means keeping the top position.

Their Christians distrust the Muslims a lot, and it's likely not unrelated to the happenings in neighboring Adamawa State where the Muslims dominate despite the Christians having a slight majority.

garfield1:
I don't understand you.after the woeful performance of Darius and the imposition of kefas,you think people will still vote pdp ? Was that not the same reason nentawe was purportedly rejected for Caleb! Why the doublespeak

Monsieur, politics in Taraba is mostly about religion.

In Taraba, the Muslims always band together behind one of their own. Once that happens, the Christians realign their own votes and give it to one of theirs, as they have a very clear majority in the state.

That has always been the norm. The prominent Christian candidates will always watch the polls to see how the Muslims swing. If they swing towards their own, as they always do, the Christian religious leaders would do the same, pick one Christian candidate and their followers would vote him enmasse.

So, nobody rigged out the Prof. He was outvoted.

If the security agencies want to get to the root of this insecurity, persons like the writer of this article should have been placed under 24 hour surveillance.

This is an attempt to begin blackmailing the government of Zamfara State given their no-negotiation-with-bandits stance.

Lol.

For a start, let's conclude the cases in court and ascertain the identity of the number one citizen.

What noone wants to talk about is that the Kano advert includes a proviso - applicants will pay N3000 to purchase an application form. It thus makes sense not to limit the applicants to a particular location. Probably, they need as much money as possible, even though eventually they will screen out all the applicants they do not want.

The issue that should have been on the front burner is the appropriateness or otherwise of selling forms to job seekers applying for a position with you.

The Pandora criminal contested against 3 Muslims. Did it not cross your mind that Kwankwaso would have dealt with Obi if Tinubu and Atiku were not on the ballot?

Lol, this coward is scared of insulting us with his full chest, reason he deliberately misspelled it.

Has it also crossed your mind what would have happened to the drug baron if he contested against Kwankwaso alone?

Of course, it would also be reassuring if the Supreme Court grants legal protection to the technological safeguards that INEC spent billions to acquire in order to assure voters that it would run a credible poll but whose use the tribunal said was optional and discretionary.

How many paragraphs, yet the important issue pertaining to compliance is mentioned at the last paragraph, and just a sentence.

Bias.

onuman:
The judges feigned ignorance of the fact that INEC refused to give out what it should have given freely to the litigants as evidence.
Only in Nigeria would judges feign such ignorance but ask litigants to prove their cases.
All because Islamists in charge of Nigeria have programmed the country over the years of Buhari/APC on this journey.
Will the Supreme Court judges follow the steps of the judges of the PEPT to approve a most primitive method the last presidential election was rigged by the INEC senior staff, and plunge the country into the abyss?

This post addressed the issues.

The petitioners requested the Form EC8As from INEC for their petitions. They even approached the court to compel INEC. INEC still refused.
To build your case, you have to examine your own copies against INEC's and them file your petition.
When it became clear that the "independent" umpire was not going to provide the documents, they had no choice but to improvise.
INEC posited that the copies on IREV are a true copy of the ones they used in declaring the winners.
So, when the petitioners supplied the IREV copies, the PEPT just had to tabulate it and confirm if it was in tandem with what INEC declared. And during the tabulation, INEC would have to account for the over 18k blurred copies.

Somehow, the PEPT overlooked all that and proceeded to tell the petitioners what arguments they should have used. When the petitioners made it clear that counting the votes on IREV means that APC couldn't be declared winner.
If INEC thinks otherwise, they would then have to produce the original Form EC8As.

Hopefully, the SC should order a retrial.

Peter Obi that got 2.1m votes in the north, far above Kwankwaso's 1.4m votes. He even won two states when Kwankwaso won just one.

Please take your tales by moonlight elsewhere. It's stale already.

You mistake IPOB cannibals for people around the world. I totally agree with you that IPOB cannibals are scattered in different countries soiling the good name of Nigeria

Didn't same IPOB cannibals all over the world claimed that Buhari was dead and that a clone/or Jubrin from Sudan is ruling Nigeria



Let me tell you something you Igbos hate to hear. One of the reasons northerners hated Peter Obi is because of that evil and malicious lie that Buhari was dead and that a clone and/or Jubrin from Sudan was ruling Nigeria. That lie was a wicked and evil lie that was painful to the northerners.

See who's talking.

You cheered PMB on as he borrowed, time after time to spend on white elephant projects. As he borrowed to "feed school children".

You might really need to do some introspection.

Power is transient. Time it was when they did whatever they felt like doing without a thought as to its consequences on people's lives.

Power has now shifted hands and they are on the receiving end.

Also, disregard of the judicial arm of government didn't start with Abiodun. They had their own chance to build the institutions.

All we can do for them now is ask them to GO TO COURT.

And like us, let us hope they will accept whatever the courts dish out on the altar of justice.

The earth won't stop rotating...

I am only replying you because you said you are open to learning. However, you don't sound as though you are open to learning. If you were, you would've have attempted to confirm my research by reading about those places and approaching any native of these towns or better still, pay a visit like I did instead of your armschear assumption.

I will go out on a limb and assume you must be from somewhere around Anambra Central. And because of that, I won't take offense to your tone, because in that case, you seem sure of what you're saying.

I am open to learning as I wrote earlier. If I wasn't, you won't come to my house and beat me, so you shouldn't sweat it. I also am not travelling to Eziowelle or Abacha to confirm this, I'm a busy person, lol.

So once again, if there are any facts or evidence supporting your postulation, present them. I'm open to learning.

Going by this, Enugu-Ukwu and Enugwu-Agidi people migrated from Enugu to Anambra State ?

And Ideani in Anambra State must be brothers with Ideato in Imo State?

Most villages in Anambra Central are named after their progenitors. Where there are immigrants, they are more likely than not, subsumed into the Umunna that they live in kinship with. That's what I have seen.

I am open to learning if there are different scenarios. With facts, not insinuations.

So who are the impure Igbo? Smh
Someone who is speaking Igbo and identifying his fellow Igbo brother. Even the Thai police officer identified him as Igbo. That Police officer sounded exasperated and frustrated so much that he used very horrible despicable words to describe Igbo yet he is not even from Nigeria or Africa. Smh.

That police officer is not a racist at all. He was just being honest with that young man. At some point, he was addressing Stanley like his own blood Brother.



Hmmmm. Smh.
Dilligent and upright Igbo like my Patriotic Nigerian Igbo friends, brothers and sisters must not give up on being patriotic and doing the right thing whether they are home or abroad.

This video and that statement by that Thai police officer that Igbo are selfish, liars and are the curse of Africa and Nigeria is completely avoidable if these bad eggs had relented from crime since.

This is why upright Igbo must never succumb to those unpatriotic and rude Igbo who insult and blackmail other Nigerians when we denounce these bad eggs by suggesting that it's an attack against the Igbo. It's not !

Any Igbo who attack Nigerians who denounce these bad eggs among the Igbo from irresponsible parenting background who fed them with hate, lies and bigotry is part of the criminal enterprise of those who bring shame to Igbo.

He is 22 years old and he said his parents are very very poor and that's why he is in crime.smh. The fact is that he is not doing crime because his parents are poor, he is doing crime because he is from a background that has no integrity.This is exactly what Prof Soludo complained about with parents who are irresponsible.

It has become a trend now that everytime the English lose a crucial match, one highly placed official has to come off his horse?
