Congratulations are in order for the latest couple in town after their recent wedding union. The young Muslim Nigerian lady got married to her sweetheart in Plateau state, according to Islamic rites. According to reports, the Chinese man who came to Nigeria with a close family member for the wedding, accepted Islam before getting married to his partner.

Congratulations to them once more.

The OP is more interested in the Islam angle rather than Chinese marrying a Nigerian

HAs BUhari built or approve money to hosptials in Nigeria to upgrade their standard??

In every "no mans land" or Liberal society you will still have the owners or the secret society of descendants of the former owners who can do or undo.

With the way Europe and America is going there might be resurgence of a Hitler like person (70 years after).

BEcause the western world hates Third World people but with Trump in power now its no more hiding but open face hate.

The problem is not US its Nigerians who will reelect Buhari and his fellow theives.

If you live abroad you will hardly see South Africans or Nambians etc

resurgent2019:
Hmmmmmmmmm sad. So invariably, the US is punishing genuine travelers because of the sins of Nigerians who have overstayed their visas in the US?

Not just Nigerians.

The truth is in America when you are non white you are second class.

Too many Nigerians

And he is going to cancel birth citizenship which is part of his manifesto

The worst place to be a woman is Saudi-100%

Saudi Arabia’s women are allowed to drive, but not everyone is happy about it

From the very first day 31-year-old Salma Barakati got behind the wheel of her car after Saudi Arabia lifted the ban on women driving, the men in her village near Mecca would gather around her and unleash a torrent of insults.

The insults soon turned to threats. Then, less than 10 days after women were allowed to drive, a neighbor woke up Barakati in the middle of the night: Her car was on fire.

“The men of the neighborhood burned the car because they are all against (women) driving, they don’t agree with it,” she said in a video shared on Twitter, her voice shaking as flames engulfed her vehicle.

“Save me from them, take back my rights from them,” she pleads with King Salman and his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, thought to be the primary force behind a modernization drive that included the ban’s overturn.

Despite months of an intensely orchestrated feel-good campaign by the government, the smoldering remains of Barakati’s car offered the starkest illustration that not all are on board with women in the driver’s seat. Grumbling about the ban also hints at the resistance facing Salman and his son as they upend decades-old social mores and bring changes to Saudi society that much of the world has long taken for granted.

It was last September when the government decreed it would allow women to drive, reversing a policy in place since 1957 and which had become a potent symbol of women’s oppression in the kingdom.

That Riyadh was eager to reap a public relations win from the decree was clear from the preparations around the announcement: a reading of the decree on live television was accompanied by a lavish media event in Washington. It was reported to have used Cambridge Analytica, the British firm notorious for social media manipulation, to massage the blow to the country’s ultraconservatives.

Car companies, eager for new customers, quickly joined in with a raft of ads. Some featured abaya-clad women walking in a desert, their robes flowing in the dusk breeze as they look into the distance. Others urged women to “dare greatly” or assured them “the road is yours.”

But the reversal, which took effect June 24, flies against years of cultural and religious justifications trotted out by the country’s religious clerics. Allowing women to drive, they declared, would invite promiscuity. One cleric insisted driving could damage women’s ovaries, while another justified the ban on the grounds that women possessed only half a brain — and half of that was used for shopping, he claimed.

Despite the government stripping religious authorities of much of their power this year — a move that included rounding up 30 high-profile clerics — those attitudes lingered.

A YouGov survey conducted before the ban was lifted found that nearly a quarter of Saudis opposed its reversal. A video posted on Twitter featured a man swearing he would burn a woman and her car if it broke down. Others tweeted under the hashtag “You will not drive,” suggested creating a women-only lane so they could crash into each other.

Although the driving ban was lifted, the kingdom has far from abandoned tradition and the government maintains strict control on life in the kingdom. Riyadh continues in what the rights group Amnesty International called “an unrelenting crackdown” that has ensnared activists who for decades had fought for the right to drive.

On Wednesday, Amnesty International reported the arrest of human rights activists Samar Badawi and Nassima Sada.

“These brave women represented the last vestiges of the human rights community in the country, and now they too have been detained,” said Lynn Maalouf, the group’s Middle East research director in a statement. The grounds for their arrest are unclear.

“Saudi Arabia’s new leadership under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has crushed any space for the existence of human rights defenders in the country.”

As for resistance to women driving, there have only been a few incidents like the burning of Barakati’s car, said Maha Akeel, a Jidda-based journalist.

“Most of the men who see a woman driving, sure, they stare, but it’s OK,” she said in a phone interview on Tuesday, chuckling at the thought.

Although a woman does not need permission from a male guardian to obtain a license — a rare exception in the country’s onerous guardianship system, which gives men power over most aspects of women’s lives — many women seemed reluctant to take the step, said Karim Zein, of the Abu Dhabi branch of the M&C Saatchi advertising agency.

“Our research showed us that women were happy and excited about the decision, but there was fear, and the fear was men,” Zein said in a phone interview. “It wasn’t about confidence, it wasn’t about abilities: It was fear of men who for a long time have been dominating society.”

Walid Kanaan, chief creative officer at TBWA/RAAD, an advertising agency that works with Nissan in Saudi Arabia, agreed.

“We realized that the resistance for this decree was growing in Saudi Arabia in the society, and a large number of women were intimidated by this resistance. … They were afraid that if they got their permit they might disappoint their father or their brother or the man at home,” Kanaan said.

Both agencies produced ads focusing on Saudi men’s reaction to the decree: M&C Saatchi’s clip for Shell Middle East depicted a group of men speaking to the camera as they come to terms with women from their family driving, while Nissan filmed women taking a driving lesson with a close male relative as the instructor. Both videos prompted intense discussions on social media.

Saudi authorities said in June that more than 120,000 women have applied for licenses, but commentators have reported only a small number of women on the road. Akeel, however, said this observation could be misleading because Saudi Arabia’s roads are less active during the summer.

“With the return of people to schools and work after vacation, we’ll see more crowds, and then we’ll see more accidents, but for now I see that things are positive,” she said, adding that many women were still in the process of buying a car and taking lessons.

(EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE)

Yet what is accepted in cities such as Jidda and Riyadh is harder to take in places like Barakati’s village of Samad, a place where the stereotype of the rich male Saudi — mansion-dwelling and cavorting from one French Riviera resort to another — is nowhere to be found.

Barakati, who works as a supermarket cashier for a monthly salary of $1,066, would spend half of it each month on taxis. She had paid almost $700 for driving lessons and pooled her money with other women to buy a used car, according to the Saudi Okaz daily newspaper.

She later found out that the neighbor who told her about her car burning had actually planned the whole affair along with two other men.

Their families had pressured Barakati to pardon them, even offering to pool their money and buy her a new car, but she refused. (She did, however, accept a car given to her by Fahd Al-Rouqi, the deputy chairman of Mecca’s municipal council.)

“I asked the police to protect me against retaliation by the families. They were determined to take revenge because I sent their children into police custody. I will never relinquish my rights,” she said in an interview with Okaz.

“The incident will not deter me. I will never go back on my decision to drive.”

The main thing dat destroyed festac was over population.

And also lack of maintenance but over population mostly.

Go to block of flats in festac it’s a miracle they remain standing

Abi na ur brother house be under bridge?

Horus:
I agree with you, Population isn't the problem. When we look at the numbers, Africa is underpopulated. We have 20% of the world's landmass and 13% of its population.”

Landmass has nothing to do with this.



It’s all about country production and earnings per population. It’s division not subtraction.

The larger your population the more you are required to earn to be balanced

dragon2:
My brother,Nigeria's population in the 80s was close to 73 million,yet we were de-industrialising. China had a population of 980 million and was accelerating In industrialization and economic growth. Our population is a catalyst for our current poverty levels but not the cause. Ethnic bigotry,Bad Governance and lack of the meritocratic process and a reward system is the primary cause.
ELDS (Educationaly less developed states) is a classic case of ethnic, affirmative action that rubbished meritocracy and the reward system and placed people in positions of trust who shouldn't be there ,this people in-turn,bring in those worse than themselves to shield their position.
This, is one of the cesspits that bred the monster that is corruption today. A monster that has tied this nation down.

It is only those who expect to be fed that see population as a hindrance.Give a man tools and he will feed himself. As long as growth in power generation and industrial growth is lagging behind population growth, poverty will occur. If a population stops growing it will age,become less industrious and ultimately slip into decline.

If every nigerian adopts a 1 child policy , population can never stop growing

Denmark right now is a population that is not growing because ppl are not giving birth

However their earnings as a nation is growing.

Also earnings are used judiciously
unlike in Nigeria where majority of the earnings is stolen or used to pay useless senators and politicans

Population isn't the problem

Singapore doubled it's population and still doing well.

India had 500 million people about 40 years ago and experienced famine.

Today with over 1 billion people, India is exporting food and has good economy.



What about the US?
325 million in population but throwing away food etc and is arguably the most powerful nation of the world

ITs not about the population but earnings income but population affects the quality of life.

For example if you make N10000 per day but have to give N1000 to 10 people you have nothing left at all

but N10000 per day and you have only one mouth to feed, you have N9000 left to use for other things.

Singapore earns from multiple sources. They have the largest refining capacity of any nation, what of shipping and agric..!

Their earnings per year is on average 300 Billion dollars for a population of 5.6 million people

US earnings per year is on average 19Trillion dollars for population 300 million

Nigeria has earning of maybe 200-300billion for a population of going to 200 million

Most countries there population is being controlled but Nigeria population is growing at an exponential rate.

So very soon if not controlled the population will supercede earnings .


Nigerias production level is not matching population

Horus:
No Nigeria is not overpopulated, far from it. We have to look at the population density of Nigeria, ( people per square mile ). The population density of Europe is higher than in Nigeria, (more people per square mile than Nigeria), so in fact Europe is overpopulated and Europeans are not complaining about it. We have to create more jobs for the youngs and build more skyscrapers in Nigerian cities.

Use you common sense now.

Assuming u earn 500K with 2 children

and now
u earn same 500K with 6 children

Divide that.


Its the same on national level

Nigeria earnings from its resources divided by the population = not very much

denkyw:
It's either mbaka is fake, or God is confused.
But it's definitely one of the two above. Was Buhari not suppose to be the messiah ?

Nigeria can never get better with likes of Buhari in charge. He shd retire but no common sense.

To move naija forward we will need a young leader.

Jesus was 33, MLK was 32 etc the greatest leaders were young and not grandfather age

BoneBlogger:
Reports have it that some Nigerians who traveled to witness the 2018 World Cup in Russia are stranded and are unable to come back home due to some restraints. Some of the travelers fled into other countries from Russia in order obtain Schengen visa and also getting stranded in the process.

According to reports, the victims have only FAN IDs, which the Russian government issued as a visa substitute to foreigners traveling to attend the FIFA World Cup. This means they can’t use the document to get a job. With nowhere to go, they’re going about Russia looking for help.

Hear their plea to the Nigerian and Russian governments;

"We came here to come and plead to our government in Nigeria because all of us came here to watch football, and we paid our flight tickets to and fro. "But unfortunately, we cannot get return back to Nigeria because our return tickets were cancelled and it is so disappointing to us as we never planned to stay in Russia."

"We want to go back and that is why we are pleading to both our government and that of Russia to help us."

AFter world cup una go see true face of russians.

Russians go deport or shoot them

Europeans or Even Americans are tired of migration.

Thats why they sent macron to tell Nigerian youths to stay home.

MEanwhile Buhari government has no sense for population control,

The Population of one local government in Lagos is bigger than Croatia of (4million).

Hijab is a man made decision so that a man can hide his female property from other men.

The truth is it’s another way of treating women as 2nd class humans or slaves
