emekauzor: Meet Chuka Umunna, born of a Nigerian father and British Mother, Muna is the current Labour Parties, shadow business secretary, in a live television program today he was asked about a letter sent by the Government to Muslim leaders in Britain. Unfortunately Chuka admitted he had not read the letter and said he would not go “off-piste” and discuss its content when asked if he believed the Government was “patronising” Muslims.
Mr Umunna, who was not in the same studio as his interviewer, said it was not “terribly fair” to ask him about the letter because he had been asked to come on the programme to discuss David Cameron’s latest speech on the economy.
After Mr Murnaghan accused him of refusing to speak “until you get the party line right”, Mr Umunna stood up and walked out of the studio.

okoro4: After CNN aired an interview some hours ago with people alleged to be Nigerian soldiers who told them that Nigerian soldiers are buying their own kits to fight Boko Haram and take care of themselves when they sustain injuries during their course of defence of the country, the Nigerian army has blasted CNN for the interview and even described it as a 'Satanic' report.
In support of this condemnation, why is the CNN not reporting the deployment of Tchadian troops, half of whose members are Boko Haram, to assist Cameroon in its fight?
It has also not given its viewers the real reasons why The American Troops are stationed in Chad of all places and the American government,s silence over that.
CNN reports are not in good light and a larger crisis always follows it.
I am currently listening Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker and Bond Victory which are two different genres of classical music and artistes I enjoy listening to.
However, I wonder if anyone still listens to classical music. Share your thoughts.
“The longest period that I have met one-on-one with the president was for one hour and ten minutes. That whole time, the president talked about nothing that was in the interest of Nigeria; instead he kept pointing out his supposed enemies and various matters that would not serve his interests. I could not stop myself from blurting out: “Mr President, no Nigerian should be your enemy. You have to be like rain falling on good and bad people alike. With that experience, I was not surprised that the president went dancing twenty-four hours after the Nyanya explosion.”
“I understand the president tried to make excuses for everyone, but President Jonathan is not too weak to be able to butter his bread and, if necessary, to engage the services of Satan to achieve his self-centered interests on the altar of all else.”
sbaks: Don't tell lies, YOU ARE A NORTHERNER. Don't claim lagos to win people. You are such a liar. Even in kaduna there are issues e.g in tudun-wada, rigasa, ungwar muazu and even nice places like ungwar rimi and mando sef. So my dear! I am a PURE NORTHERNER BY BIRTH. I DON TOUR NORTH O. NA KANO I NEVER SPEND MOST OF MY LIFE FOR ABI NA FUNTUA? Abi na kaduna I no spent more than 5 years for? Don't come here to say trash concerning your state KATSINA abi?
I am not a Northerner sir and you are not one either. I did not come to win people on Naira land because of a small argument. All the places you mentioned in which you said there are issues could you explain those issues?
You are still being sentimental in your arguments. If you spent five years in Kaduna and claim you have toured the North does not mean you know everything about the North.
sbaks: The blood of the saints killed in katsina would hunt you for your BLATANT LIES! I hate this your religion of piss. They have drunk tooooooooooooooooooo much blood. A religion of peace indeed. GOD will punish islamists from the chasing of christians away from nassarawa GRA? and Sabongari especiallllllllllly (where they killed igbos) in kano, to the killings in funtua "KATSINA STATE". AMEN. It pains me as I write this
sbaks: You know say guys don change phone na. how I wish I took the pictures. This happened around 2011. So how I for wan store am for years fa? This guy wey dey argue with me @rhames (or whatever his name is) na mumu I tell you. You need to see the way wey the guy dey lie for people say katsina people good.
and have you also read the link that I sent to you sbaks.
sbaks: @the first bolded. BROS! You can LIE FOR AFRICAAAAAAA. HABA! I say I see with my naked eye. See me wey see something o. Hmmm failbuhari sef is around the corner so you need to paint katsina (daura) white abi? @ the second bolded, Many hausa men marry non-hausa women, but they will NEVER? I repeat NEVER! Allow their daughters marry non-natives. That completely shows how FANATICAL and TRIBALISTIC they are. I hate cheap lies

Bolded indeed. When did you hear about trouble in Katsina? Please prove yourself. Where did you hear that they do not allow their daughters to marry non natives?
From your write up I understand one thing. You are just being sentimental and your views are not even representative of someone who has lived up North.
Back to the origin of our argument: Have you read the article link that I sent to you earlier about the topic under discussion?
sbaks: Hehehehehe liar! Kai! na zama a arewa fa. Ka na Ji na kwo? Kar ka zo nan ka dinga yin balayin kerya. Kun keshe mutanin Christa a funtua ko kerya ne? Ka kwanta de hankalin ka a nairaland. Ka Dena kerya
For the. benefit of those who don't understand Hausa language reading this post , I will translate what the quoted writer wrote.
He called me a great liar and am.not telling the truth. That Muslims killed a lot of Christians In Katsina. That he once lived in the North especially Funtua and I should not use Naira land as an avenue to spread lies.
My response:
1) here is the link to the Thisday Newspaper which you described In your incoherent Hausa Language as lies.
2) Do not feign ignorance in the face of evidence. Thisday newspaper is probably the most objective daily in Nigeria and no one ever doubted or disputed its content. It is published by a Southerner, a Niger Deltan Christian Nduka Obaigbena.
3) Much as you use nairaland.com to express your views, refrain from using from using all sorts of invectives on fellow forum users.
4) Much as you claim to have lived in the North, you paint every northerner as a violent set of people. Katsina State is one of the most peaceful states in the country. You hardly see religious,ethnic or political crisis because it is the knowledge basket of the Northern Nigeria. Sokoto comes second and Kebbi third in that regard.Katsina men marry more women outside their tribe than other Hausas and they integrate better.
5) The writer is not a Northerner but a Yoruba ,an Indigene of Isale Eko in Lagos State who was born in Kaduna and doing business here so don't get the idea that I am a northerner trying to defend his people.
finally, I find it hard to believe that some educated people are worse than stark illiterates. Ignorance is no excuse in all ramifications of life. You displayed a very deep sense of ignorance by not checking on the Newspaper write either online or offline before you called me a liar in your post.
It would have been polite if asked me to post the link.
