Science/Technology › Re: Cassowary: How The World's Most Dangerous Bird Got Its Unique Feathers by naptu2: 7:18pm On May 14, 2020
That thing bent a rake with its sharp claws in a documentary that I watched a few years ago. It is extremely and incredibly dangerous and it is very fast. I thought that it looked beautiful when I saw it in a book when I was a child, but my opinion of it changed after I watched that documentary.

Ecbatana:
I loved when Bellamy played for Liverpool. I remember clearly how he bullied Barcelona players in one of the champions League semifinal matches.
internationalman:
There was never a champions league semi final match between barca and Liverpool when Bellamy was a Liverpool player..

Clattenburg was a Man Utd referee. I remember him giving two Chelsea players red card and awarding a pk to Man Utd after Chelsea was leading by 2 goals..
Ogakaycce:
There was never a champions league semi final match between barca and Liverpool when Bellamy was a Liverpool player..


you are Indomie generation to say that.
I watched the match Liverpool beat Barca 2-1 @ nou camp them Barca Beat Liverpool 1-0 2nd leg. Liverpool progress with away goal.
That was the first knockout stage of the 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League. It wasn’t the semi-final.

Re - read the post and check the photograph in black and white background
If you are referring to the photo in black and white background then clearly it is both of you that need to re-read the post. It is always important to read the post, not just the headline in order to understand what is in it.

The headline of this thread reads:
General Buhari And Ibrahim Gambari In 1984 (Video)
In order words, it is a video of General Buhari and Professor Gambari. How can a picture be a video??

I then quoted one of my old posts in which I discuss some of the personalities in the video. There are 3 pictures that were attached to that post and each of them has it's on caption. The captions are:

Picture 1) Alhaji Rilwanu Lukman.

Picture 2) Professor Ibrahim Gambari

Picture 3) Professor Gambari and General Joe Garba c1990 (Nigeria was a member of the Security Council at that time and General Garba was president of the UN General Assembly).
The caption clearly states that the third picture is a picture of Professor Gambari and General Joseph Nanven Garba at the UN, so how on God's green earth can you expect General Garba to magically become General Buhari??

This is why it's important to actually read the post, not just the headline!

Go back and read the post.

1) The Izala society called out Sahara Reporters.

2) Sahara Reporters reported that Sheikh Lau is alive.

3) Sahara Reporters reported that another Izala leader had died (they didn't mention social distancing rules).

Politics › Bala Lau Demands ₦100 Million From Sahara Reporters For Reporting His Death by naptu2(op): 5:45am On May 13, 2020
The national leader of the Jama’at Izalat al Bid’a Wa Iqamat as Sunna (JIBWIS), also known as the Izala Society, Sheikh Bala Lau, has demanded ₦100 Million compensation from Sahara Reporters for announcing that he had died.

Sahara Reporters had reported (on May 10th) that Sheikh Bala Lau had died and that social distancing guidelines were not adhered to at his funeral. The online news platform had posted pictures and videos of a crowded funeral as evidence that he had died and that social distancing guidelines had not been adhered to. Many Twitter users that responded to the tweet condemned northern Nigerians for disobeying social distancing rules.

However, many people that responded to Sahara Reporters' tweet stated that the video and pictures were old and they accused Sahara Reporters of publishing fake news.

A follower of the Izala Society then posted a video of his video call to Sheikh Bala Lau in which the sheikh confirmed that he is alive. Sahara Reporters later deleted the tweet and the article from its website without publishing a retraction. They later published a story that another Izala leader had died, but they didn't mention social distancing guidelines in that story.

The Sheikh, through his lawyers, has now demanded a compensation of ₦100 Million from Sahara Reporters.

ok thanks for the info another question if you don't mind when last was 9ja member of the council and is there any criteria they look at before you contest the post or any can decide to contest?
The last time that Nigeria was a member was in 2014 and 2015. The non-permanent members are usually elected by the General Assembly (that is, all the members of the UN) and a member must get 2/3rd votes to be elected. Any member can be elected, but usually they are elected on regional basis.

Furthermore, the various continents/regions usually agree on their candidates before hand, for example, Africa nations would have already agreed on the African countries that they want to be elected to the Security Council.

Usually the African Group is represented by three members; the Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, and Western European and Others groups by two apiece; and the Eastern European Group by one. Traditionally, one of the seats assigned to either the Asia-Pacific Group or the African Group is filled by a nation from the Arab world.

wow so Nigeria was once a member of the powerful UN security counci? So when was 9ja removed? Nnaptu2 naptu2
Five members of the UN Security Council are permanent (USA, Russia, Great Britain, France and China), while ten members are non-permanent.

The non-permanent members are elected to two year terms at the Security Council.

[quote author=Ladman406 post=89476332][/quote]Yes, it was later adapted and used to create that hymn, but it is originally a Hausa song. It was played at national ceremonies in Nigeria in the 1970s and '80s.

Protocol in that video.


(That entrance to Dodan Barracks [the Council Chambers] was not the entrance that was usually used. There is a roundabout or traffic island in front of that entrance and there's another entrance on the other side of the roundabout. It's that other entrance that was used during council meetings).

Buhari did not observe normal protocol here. I think that's because it was a state visit. While inteoducing his team to Seyni Kountche he said, "I think I should start with the chief of staff, Supreme Headquarters", then he introduced Idiagbon and then introduced Dr Ibrahim Gambari (as he then was) before introducing General Bali.

Buhari was the "number 1 citizen" at this time and he introduced the number 2 citizen (Idiagbon). He should have introduced the number 3 (Bali) next, but instead he introduced Gambari (the foreign minister) before Bali.

There were allies and enemies sitted around that table. One of Buhari's staunchest allies, the minister of interior, General Muhammadu Magoro was there, as was Babangida's good friend and ally, General Garba Duba.


This video showed the usual protocol regarding venues. The state welcome ceremony was (partly) held at State House Marina, the meeting was held at Dodan Barracks and the state banquet was held at State House Marina.
