PoliticsRe: Lopsided Appointments: Northern Elders Release List Of Jonathan’s Appointees by Phoenix001(m): 8:11pm On Sep 06, 2015
criminalmindz:
friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?

2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.

3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!

5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.

6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?

7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.

8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.

These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.
You can make this a post by creating new thread. I'm sure it will not only make front page but will go a long way to achieving your aim.
It's thought-provoking. I love it.

As long as it will enhance their illegitimate domination over the world, NO.
However, they've improved by doing that through fronts and rebel organisations. It will cost less and will not directly affects the psychology of the people.

And the fact that they are now trying to be a bit liberal in political view these days cannot sway average American youth who constitutes the majority of voters because they are tired of strife and war.

Even with their seemingly changing view of addressing issues, especially on foreign relations, military and morality; it will not be rosy for Republican considering Obama's giant stride in the current affairs of this era.
I believe the election is going to be tight but not going to be as pronounced as that of Romney in 2012. Democrat must chose a viable candidate.

I dont think gender is a problem anyway in the US right now as concerning their politics,they have had female state governors (Sarah Palin)Alaska,(sussanah Martinez ) new Mexico,Jan brewer(Arizona),mary fallen (Oklahoma)
And senate Nancy peloisi,
Sure they do, even more at Senate, but Presidency is a bit different compare to the state governorship. This is because US is the world power at present and any President of that country must be worthy of such heavy responsibility and men are most time preferred.
Anyway, poll count a lot in knowing the mind of the populace over there.

CelebritiesRe: ISIS Plans To End The World By Provoking The US To War. by Phoenix001(m): 6:29am On Jul 30, 2015
This is the copy of the original document from the link above;

"According to a recruitment document understood to be written by ISIS militants,the terrorist group plans for an all-out war to bring about ‘the end of the world’.
Follow the jump for the full story and discovered document:
The Urdu document seen by USA Today, passed to the American Media Institute by a Pakistani citizen connected to the Taliban, reveals the scale of the ambition of ISIS, including targeting India to provoke the U.S. to intervene.
The document includes a never-before-seen history of the Islamic State, details chilling future battle plans, urges al-Qaeda to join the group and says the Islamic State’s leader should be recognized as the sole ruler of the world’s 1 billion Muslims under a religious empire called a “caliphate.”
The document reads:
Accept the fact that this caliphate will survive and prosper until it takes over the entire world and beheads every last person that rebels against Allah,” “This is the bitter truth, swallow it.”Preparations for an attack on India are underway, it adds, which ISIS leaders hope will end with a war with the U.S.
Even if the U.S. tries to attack with all its allies, which undoubtedly it will, the ummah [world’s global community] will be united, resulting in the final battle’.
The document highlights a plan to target U.S. soldiers as they pull out from Afghanistan, kill American diplomats and attack Pakistani officials.
So far, U.S. intelligence officials have reviewed the document and say they believe it is authentic, based on the language used and a series of ‘unique’ markings"

ISIS will surely fail in that quest. Only countries with enough ball can provoke such, not one accursed terrorist group that will soon be rejected by the whole universe.
I've not come to term yet that war will bring this world to an end.
