Two police officers were injured in a knife attack in the French city of Toulouse on Monday.

Toulouse Mayor Jean-Luc Moudenc said that two police personnel were attacked with a bladed weapon while on duty in the Rue d’Austerlitz neighbourhood of the city. He said the attacker "made statements of a terrorist nature".

"Statements of a terrorist nature were also reported. The two officers were taken to Rangueil University Hospital. The perpetrator was quickly arrested," said Moudenc without providing further details.

The attack comes nearly two weeks after a man was arrested in Paris for attacking three women with kitchen knives. Knife attacks have emerged as a common method used by radicals in Europe as guns are tightly regulated while knives are readily accessible.

While authorities have not confirmed it, CNews reported that the attacker shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the assault.

CNews reported that the man approached officers on duty before pulling out a knife. As the police personnel attempted to restrain him with batons, he allegedly produced three knives one after another and attacked them, injuring two personnel.

One of the police personnel was stabbed in the neck and required several stitches, according to the French-language media report.

UPDATE: TGCOM24, the italian newsreporter mentions that he was a suspected bomber.

Thank GOD his efforts were neutralized. The world has to come together to stamp this evil out once and for all.

HacheNoire:
You are very right about that!

Majority of black families are not financially enlightened and don’t build generational wealth.

They are freaks of liabilities. Nike shoes, Mercedes, BMW, and diamonds.

HacheNoire:
Let me tell you the little I know.

You are right by saying getting a moderate student loan that you can pay off easily, but the question is now, will you competitive after getting such?

20k student line won’t get you anywhere where the big boys are competing. You won’t even be shortlisted.

It’s the system. Everything comes with a price tag.

You want to use community college degree to go compete at Microsoft and Chevron 😂.

Moreover, the bar was not lowered for education but rather systemic racisms. Education was free all round before in same US. The moment coloured people started competing, they commercialized tertiary, and systematically started defunding schools in low income areas.

It wasn’t an accident but deliberate action.

HacheNoire:
When you say free education, is the quality generic across the US?

They just say it’s free, but if you compare child from a performing zip code with another non performin one, you will get to realize that the property taxes and home prices are relative to performance.

Their are schools in same US you won’t even allow your kids go for free.

You talked about student loans also 🤣😂🤣😂 Those are life time handcuffs this generation ain’t buying again and I love them for that.

The loan is not an assistance but life sentence and money spindling scheme for the elites.

It is a curse and not blessing. Ask those who signed up for it if they will do again in their second life.

HacheNoire:
It is not gadgets but poverty!

Families and strained with so much that they barely have time for kids.

In same US, go to an average or wealthy ISD and you will find excellence.

Most of these underperforming schools are ghetto’s. You barely find a child living with both parents.

Sheikh Jingir’s Remarks and the Hard Reality of Political Representation in Nigeria.


Many Nigerians, particularly Christians, are furious at Islamic cleric Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir (also referred to as Yahya Jingir). In recent remarks supporting a continued Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket for 2027, he praised the arrangement pioneered under President Bola Tinubu, urged Muslims to secure their Permanent Voter Cards, and spoke of showing “the infidels their limit.” He questioned why advocating for Muslim political unity was wrong when other groups pursue their own interests, and he framed population and electoral strength as justification for the strategy. The language was blunt, dismissive of Christians, and widely condemned as provocative and divisive.

The anger is understandable. Calling fellow citizens “infidels” in a fragile multi-religious country is inflammatory. It feeds perceptions of exclusion and heightens tensions at a time when insecurity, kidnappings, and ethno-religious violence already strain national cohesion. Critics across Christian leadership, opposition figures, and even some Muslims have rightly pushed back against the rhetoric.

Yet the emotional reaction risks missing a colder, more practical point. Instead of pure outrage, Jingir’s words should serve as a wake-up call about political representation and the realities of power at the national level.

1. You are angry that they called you an infidel, yet you, A Christian, for whatever reasons went out and supported a Muslim-Muslim ticket, completely relinquishing YOUR OWN INTERESTS on the national political stage

2. You are angry that they called you an infidel, yet you failed to apply basic political sense: at the national level, representation matters. Even in the United States, tickets often reflect representation across the political divide, Trump from New York paired with Vance from Ohio is one recent illustration of geographic and demographic considerations.

3. You are angry that they called you an infidel, yet because of tribal or other narrow politics, many who identify as Christian still prepare to vote for another Muslim-Muslim arrangement.

4. You are angry that they called you an infidel, yet some console themselves that they are represented because “the president’s wife is a Christian.”

5. You are angry that they called you an infidel, yet many watch as extremists and armed groups linked to Islamist or Fulani militancy attack churches, kidnap worshippers, take Christian women and girls to the bush and do as they please with these women and girls often with very little or no consequence, in some cases they are even rewarded with paid ransom.

In that light, the label becomes less surprising to those who view political outcomes as the real measure of influence. Is it any surprise that the Sheikh would refer to the Nigerian Christians as such?

The proper response is not only condemnation of his language but serious reflection on HOW and WHY Christian political leverage has become weaker and weaker and threatens to become EVEN weaker in a secular country, that was once known for using political balance across ethnoreligious lines to maintain the nation's fragile volatile political landscape.

Nigeria’s political tradition long favored religious balancing in the highest offices precisely because the country is roughly evenly divided and deeply polarized along faith lines. Breaking that pattern has proven to have some very dire consequences. Relying on symbolic gestures, ethnic arithmetic within Christian communities, or the private faith of a spouse does not substitute for institutional power. Security failures that disproportionately affect Christian communities in the Middle Belt and parts of the North further underscore the gap between numerical presence and effective protection or influence.

This is a call for Christians to treat politics as the contest for power and representation that it is.

Representation comes from turnout, strategy, coalition-building, and refusing to outsource one’s interests to the goodwill of others.

Christians playing ethnic politics on a national stage while the other part of the nation plays religious politics is only going to end up with one result: Abject failure and this is why the Christians in the nation have continued and would continue to relinquish political power and relevance. Too much infighting, too much tribal lines drawn inside the Nigerian Christian faith.

Instead of outrage at being called “infidel”, we should be looking in the mirror : at voting patterns, internal divisions, and the failure to translate population into consistent national leverage is more useful.
How long have we had so called powerful men of God convince us from the pulpit to relinquish our representation and our own interests while these so called men of God go about loading their bank accounts with enormous amounts of money while they go about their mornings "drinking tea with God".

Jingir’s remarks are crude and dangerous. They also reveal a political reality that emotional responses alone will not change. The wiser reaction is to treat them as evidence that representation is never given; it is organized, defended, and exercised.

Kobojunkie:
Na the track record make me dey ask oo! That Nigerians are not infuriated by all these games played on them is what saddens me the most. 😒

Flangelo12:
You speak Italian now?



Lying for a living.

Kobojunkie:
What were the names of those bandits who were killed? Show their faces and names so we go know sey dem don really die.

Flangelo12:
Between the 2 of us , who had lied?

You want to exaggerate a clearly teroristic attack.

For what reason?

Flangelo12:
This one has a problem.

You mean I should just accept that someone fell from a 100 storey building when the report doesn't even suggest anything close to it?

You think you are doing yourself any favour?

Flangelo12:
I'm only going by the report given here.

Knife or bomb
Both are acts of terrorism. However, there's no reason for hyperbole.

Flangelo12:
Where's the mention of the bomb?

Kobojunkie:
Assuming the news is factual, I am with Israel on this. Hamas needs to be completely decimated this time around. The world/history has had enough of the back and forth between Israel and the terrorists in the region, be it Hamas or Hezbollah; it is time to pursue a lasting chance, and none of these frivolous agreements, which we are all aware will not be honored by the terrorist groups.

FreeStuffsNG:
At least 45 soldiers belonging to Yemeni government forces were killed Thursday, and at least 50 others were wounded, in a large-scale attack by the Iran-backed Houthis on military camps in the center and east of the country. Government officials said the death toll could still rise.


Trump has set West Asia on fire and turned the region to be flowing with blood.
