This is infantile.
Come on, you can try harder.
We deal with facts and not rumours or innuendos.
According to Oxford Languages, Terrorism; is the unlawful use of violence & intimidation, especially against civilians in the pursuit of political or ideological aims...

I don't need to try hard to show the kind of person El Rufai is as well as his significance and affiliations to certain movements in the North.

I am just letting you know he is Harvard trained.

Harvard is severely limited in how it can spend that money. Funds must be spent/allocated according to donor's instrutions. The university depends on federal funding for a lot of expenditures.
cheesy

Read up on Harvard's funding and stop pulling things out of the air.

Trump and the Republican party would be shown the way out, yet Harvard would survive.

Harvard would never be Trump's slave.

Most political parties in countries are shifting towards the right. The world is now embracing nationalistic values. The sooner we charge our selfish leaders to start working and developing the country, the better.
I agree with your sentiment about Nigeria having to work but as history teaches us the world will revert back after it has tasted the tragedy of Right wing populism in power. We saw it in the Canadian, German and Australian elections.The magnitude of the damage from Right wing populism, is what we are yet to ascertain.

I've said again, that mere allegations from political actors does not cut it.

Hard incontrovertible evidence is what we deal with here.

El-Rufai is a politician from the north, of course, it's easy for every crime relating to either his religion or region be used against him in the political arena.

Yet, we need facts and not beer parlour gossip.

bullshit. US website through a great depression other had their chance to show their kill and capabilities so stop making excuses for them. The US didn't get to where it was by being stupid.

Others are smart but can't lift them selves up. US may be experiencing some talent decline but doesn't mean they are not as smart. It's a problem of bad system policies which they are aware of and will hopefully correct.
the elites that did those things are mostly 80 years old now or dead already. All the major companies in the United States are run(not managed) by foreigners. Whites younglings are dumb as a rock

This is the funniest comment I've ever seen. If it's anything Trump is making right wing parties in various countries loose elections, it's so bad that Germany's afD party and Nigel farage's reform party are gradually distancing themselves from Trump and Musk. Where do I even start? Germany's far right party lost the election then Canada's right party followed then Hungary's right party then Romania, currently Australia followed suit as their far right candidate lost massively, all of these countries were stated to win as the poles showed them winning only for Trump to put sand in our garri and I say this as a conservative myself, Trump is terrible for us
True.
When the world has seen the tragedy of Right wing populism in government they will learn the hard way.

Hard facts -

Proof of collusion to undertake acts of terrorism.

Proof of actualising terrorism.

Witness testimony and abundance of evidence.

Government's proscription.

Surveillance and documentation.

The belief that some of us don't read is baffling. I did not make that comment out of ignorance. Those funds cannot be spent anyhow and easily, and most of them are tied in private capital and equity, which have had a hard time cashing out (see below).

Trump is protecting his country from going down the drain like the UK, Germany and other liberal democracies. Liberals are helping foreign elements tear down their own countries. In a few years, many will become slaves on their own soil.

Look at northern Nigeria for an example. Open border in the North has turned it into a terrorist haven. The north has not seen anything yet.

Immigration control is a cardinal duty of every responsible government. You don't let rejects and reprobates settle within your borders like Nigeria is doing. Ask the northerners, they will confirm to you that most of the terrorists up there are foreigners.

Read up before you blame Trump. sad

If what you listed can be termed as Hard facts,
then as you earlier stated, Political proof is relative.

Which is why I am not surprised you easily wrote off the testimonial of a Nigerian Government official about El Rufai as "Beer Parlor gossip".

Trump is biting more than he can chew. Seems he's the one that's crazy and not Putin.

Many universities rely heavily on funds from international students.
Don't forget his 4-year tenure has started counting. He'll soon waka. If care isn't taken, he'll not achieve anything meaningful. One day he'll wake up, only to see that a his government remains a few months to end.

The dumbest president in the world!

One thing I am just loving about it all is that, prior to elections, some people thought they will be excluded from the wrath of Trump, but now, EVERYONE is getting impacted 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

FEMA now useless! Hurricane ravaged areas are helpless

Mass layoffs irrespective of your political beliefs

Big cut to Medicaid, Medicare and Snap benefit in new big bill 🤣🤣🤣

Ministry of education stabbed and handed off to the state, who will now deliver education to the private sector.

Consumer protection gutted! Financial institutions having their best years.

Everyone one in America should get his/her own plate, Y’all be served your own share of the menace.
So they should allow people that hate the United States and Israel into US so that they'll destroy the nation from within. Trump's policy aren't friendly for foreigners, but it's the best for his country.

In case you have any plans to visit the US embassy for a Visa, you better start praising and worshipping Mr. D. Trump
Suddenly, most African visa seekers have already already started the Trump praise " Trump on your mandate we stand".
Praise Trump and stand a small chance for the USA, critize Trump and get your visa application canceled

You have no idea how much international students contribute to the US economy in the short term and long term.

The majority of new US startups are created by international students. Trumps is laying the foundation for the downfall of US.

You will see the ripple effects years down the line, when it's too late to reverse.

Righteousness2:
While you are chewing more than what you can bite.

They should continue importing and raising upcoming TERRORISTS in the name of education?

You just hide in one cubicle yarning dust.
The likes of Iran, Yemen, Iraq and others also have schools.

You can't leave your country in the name of running from TERRORISTS activities, etc
You come to USA, and you want to turn the USA to your country you ran away from.

In view of the recent directive on student visa, has anyone been able to RESCHEDULE their appointments ahead of August commencement of studies? I've tried but not successful. I raised tickets and they directed me to go ahead and reschedule. But still unable to pick a new date on the calendar.
