The world is in chaos, and it has reached a point where you, all of you, can simply no longer turn a blind eye however much you want to.

The world isn’t facing an isolated incident. It is dealing with over 44000 terrorist attacks committed by millions of Muslims in the name of your faith against millions of non-Muslims in more than 70 countries in just the past 22 years. That is 2000 attacks a year, 167 a month, or over 5 attacks every single day… for just the last 22 years.

For 22 years, the only response to these attacks by the vast majority of you has been to blame the Jews, who are less than 0.2% of the global population and who have never committed any terrorist attacks in any country in those 22 years. It has been to blame America, Europe, white people, make-believe occupations… anyone and anything except the people who are actually responsible for the 44000 terrorist attacks worldwide in just the past 22 years.

The attacks aren’t mere random shootings or bank robberies, or calling people names. The attacks are the most barbaric and inhumane crimes against humanity that this world has ever witnessed.

The Islamists are openly calling for holy war and genocide in the name of your religion. They’re not doing this in Muslim countries. They’re doing this in America, in Europe, in every country and continent in the world, on the streets, in mass hate marches, in televised interviews, and in your religious institutions.

They don’t hide it, but you do. You actively do whatever it takes to deflect from the worst crimes and savagery committed against other human beings which are committed in the name of your faith.

And yet, as the only people who CAN fight it and eradicate it from this world, you instead sit at the United Nations and demand what the rest of the world needs to do for you so that you are not the alleged victims. You demand that the people and countries who are attacked by these very savages committing these atrocities in the name of your faith stop defending themselves. You dismiss and deny the rights of the victims of these atrocities because it is easier for you to live in a bubble. You claim every excuse for your denials and demand that your feelings be taken seriously while simultaneously ignoring and denying the sentiments of those who live in fear and anger at what they see happening around them.

After October 7th, the world has now shone not just a spotlight and microscope on your faith, but it has raised its voice in anger and frustration at your lack of understanding of what your inactions are doing to the global societies around all of us.

There can be no excuses or inactions any longer. No more cries of Islamophobia. It is a fallacy. It is time for you to make the painful choice of standing up against the true and only cause of the hatred we see on every street around the world. You can no longer blame one of the smallest countries in the world for the actions of your own people in crimes in countries completely unrelated. There can be no more delays. There can be no more excuses. There can be no more denials.

Yes, I am a Jew. But I am not your enemy because I dislike you. I am your enemy because you allow the murder of my people and then manipulate it to be our fault. I am your enemy because you want me dead. I am your enemy because you are willingly choosing to allow the chaos to reign in every part of my world and that of 6 billion other people who do not want the atrocities on their people to continue. You are creating a world of hate because you continue to be the only group to reject standing against the very people among you committing these crimes against humanity.

I am a woman, a mother, an orphan, and a human being pleading with all of you who are our brothers and sisters to stop allowing this to continue. You are the only ones that can truly bring this to end for the sake of all mankind.

So please. Just do it.

Sincerely,
Humanity"

God can protect a pastor anymore? Meanwhile, they will be praying God's protection over the lives of the sheepie while they flee to civilize countries to enjoy.

Even when Elijah ran away from Jezebel for fear of his life, God brought him back to witness her gruesome disgrace and death. So shall your portion be if you also believe

Why did God ask Joseph to flee to Egypt with Jesus? Wisdom and Faith should be applied together.

Coastal highway controversy: Minister plans live transmission of Reps probe panel hearing

The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has said he is ready to face the House of Representatives probe over the controversy surrounding the N15tn Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway road project.

Umahi added that he planned to ensure the exercise was televised live for all Nigerians to see.

The minister also stressed that there was nothing to hide about the project, stating that he and the Ministry of Works followed due process and obtained the necessary approvals and documentation for the project to commence.

Speaking with Saturday PUNCH in an exclusive interview on Friday, the minister said that the claim that the loan obtained to complete the project did not follow due process was untrue.

He, however, added that the matter was before the National Assembly, noting that he would not want to comment on it.

“I am ready to face the National Assembly to defend the project. I will not want to say anything now till I meet with the senators and House of Reps members. It will be live so you will also hear it. It will be live so that Nigerians will see it,” he added.

The House of Representatives on Thursday resolved to probe the ongoing N15tn Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project.

As such, it said it would set up an ad-hoc committee, which would investigate the project and submit a report within four weeks.

The resolution of the House followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance moved during plenary by the member representing Gwer East/Gwer West Federal Constituency of Benue State, Austin Achado.

The House also resolved to summon the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN; the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, and his works counterpart, Umahi, to shed more light on the project.

The Ministry of Works, however, defended the project, saying it followed due process.

It also said the House of Representatives members had pledged support for the project.

A 700-kilometre turnpike infrastructure, the coastal highway project has attracted commendation and condemnation since the Bola Tinubu administration approved it in February.

The 10-lane coastal road was designed to connect Lagos to Cross River, passing through Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom states before culminating in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.

The project gained traction under the administrations of former presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari but could not commence.

Under Jonathan’s administration, the highway was to cost $12bn, and $11.1bn under Buhari. It was subsequently expanded from a four-lane double carriageway to a 10-lane highway.

Umahi disclosed that the construction of the coastal road was expected to span eight years and cost N4bn per kilometre.

No personal interest

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project has been trailed by many controversies. One of the controversies was that the contract given to Hitech did not follow due process and that there was no competitive bidding for the project.

Also, there have been issues around whose interest the project would serve if completed, with several voices, including that of a former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, who said the project would serve a personal interest.

Following the many controversies that have trailed the project, including the demolitions of structures, Umahi appeared in several televised interviews to defend his stance. In one of such interviews on Arise TV, the minister had said the project was not aimed at serving any personal interest but that of all Nigerians.

“When people say the project is on personal interest, there is a contradiction there. This is because Atiku Abubakar said the Jonathan administration wanted to do that project which would have cost about $12bn or so. So, whose interest was that administration promoting in trying to do that project?

“I have a design from the NDDC (Niger Delta Development Commission) on that project. The NDDC designs are quite bulky. When I was implementing this current project, I had to call for the design. There is no personal interest in this project. The idea of that project came from the ingenuity of Mr President (Bola Tinubu) when he was governor; he was the one who procured the right of way within the Lagos corridor and gazetted it.”

Speaking further, the minister said, “The reason for the project taking off now is all about how we can inject some activities into the economy. If we want to come out of inflation, we have to look at investments in infrastructure and that is what this project is addressing. It is addressing a lot of elements of return on investments. There is no personal interest associated with that.

“It is quite petty to ask why it is starting from Lagos and not Calabar. The name of the project is ‘Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road’ and not the other way around. This means there is a zero point, which happens to be at Ahmadu Bello Way, which coincides with the Eko Atlantic. That is pure coincidence. We have started the project already and it is progressing. As of today, I can tell you that about 80 per cent of the first 1.3km is completed.”

On the costs, Umahi said there had been talks about different amounts, stating that it would cost N4bn per kilometre. Defending the cost, he said,

“People are just building castles without knowledge and they don’t know figures. I will run the figures for you. We are going to compare the cross-section of the one the former Vice President, Atiku, mentioned that was renegotiated for $11.1bn for 700km. And what was there to be constructed is the only available design from NDDC.

“They had designed the entire 700km, but we are not following exactly that pattern or right of way. We have a different modification. The original design had two carriageways on each side of the road with four lanes.

“And in the middle, they did not provide for the train track. It’s just going to be a water-collecting basin. But the coastal road we are constructing has a total of 10 lanes, you know, not only that it has a total of 10 lanes, but it also has what we called shoulders.

“The total shoulders can be put at about 23 metres. So when you put the total concrete pavement we are doing, it’s about 59 metres. When you put the total flexible pavement that he quoted it’s about 23 metres. “And so when you run the figures, you now find out that under his calculation, it is giving you about over N19bn per kilometre. Now, if you divide it by the 23 kilometres that they are doing, it is about 2.225 times a standard superhighway carriageway, which is N11.55bn.

“Whereas what we are doing, if you divide it, you get N5.167bn, So when you now divide using our 1.067, you get about N4bn per km,” he stated.

Compensation

On issues of compensation, Umahi referred Saturday PUNCH to the Lagos office of the Federal Ministry of Works.

“Ask my Lagos office,” he said.

When contacted, the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs Keisha Olukorede, said only 11 property owners would be compensated. This is as she added that nine out of the 11 had already been paid their compensation, noting that two were yet to be paid.

She said, “For the people whose structures have been demolished, we have paid. We have paid nine of them out of the 11. We have not paid the other two persons because their documentations were not completed. That is all I can tell you for now.”

Umahi has no fears about project – Aide

Meanwhile, speaking in an interview with Saturday PUNCH on Friday in Abuja, the works minister, through his Special Adviser on Media, Uchenna Orji, appreciated the concerns regarding the project, affirming that the current administration operates transparently and adheres to proper procedures According to him, the House of Representatives is a veritable partner in the development of the nation and deserves answers to its concerns.

He said, “The House of Representatives is a veritable partner in the development of the nation and they have a great stake in ensuring the accomplishment of the Renewed Hope agenda. We rely very much on them to ensure that the public is kept abreast of the developmental strides and aspirations of this present administration.

“We are very happy that they are concerned about the government and the people because they represent their constituents. We appreciate the concerns they have about the project but this administration is transparent and has done things the appropriate way.”

Orji said the action of the government was to tackle the problems mitigating development in Nigeria and that one of them was having a solid road infrastructure.

“The minister is tackling it headlong without any delay and with time Nigerians will appreciate all of these giant strides. The coastal highway will fast-track economic development and open up coastal areas ensuring that they are integrated with the outer part of the nation. So whenever the national assembly is investigating any matter, it is all in a bid to ensure inclusiveness and that all and sundry are carried along in the developmental process,” he added.

He further explained that the probe should not be seen as an indictment but to cross-check the necessary details ensuring that all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed.

“It would appear that some people do not know the workings of the legislature, they have given a window of fair hearing and they cannot be a judge in that circumstance. They have not condemned or passed any judgement because if they had, we would not have been given a window. A probe is not something negative; it means looking into the details and ensuring that all the I’s are dotted and the T’s crossed.

“I think that is where they are going, to ensure that all of the details are correct and we are saying all of these things have been done so that the public can appreciate the efforts of the works minister not only to ensure that jobs are done keeping with the standards but they are also done in keeping with the procurement procedure.

“We are unshaken about the probe, and the National Assembly is not against anybody. They are doing their legislative duty and are a veritable partner,” the minister’s aide added.

Another mass bombing of women and children has began.

Before a single Hamas member will be killed, dozens, if not hundreds of innocent civilians would have been killed.

Most moral army my arse.

If the IDF have carried out this operation with minimal casualties, I would care less about the situation, but purposefully dropping bombs on innocent civilians is a much bigger act of terrorism.
How can Russia including Ukraine with both countries having more fire power than Israel can only imagine, has fought a war for more than 2 years with minimal casualties than Israel in 5 months.

A take home lesson,HAMAS shouldn't try what they did to Israel before. It is unfortunate what it is happening. Any EFFECT or CONSEQUENCES you don't like, avoid its CAUSE by all means possible. HAMAS are fully or partly responsible for what is happening.
