Religion / -christmas Celebration And The Foods Of Our Christians Neighbour, by rmo19: 5:43pm On Dec 24, 2018
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah.
Peace and blessings of Allah be on our Noble prophet S.A.W.
Alhamdulillah for another opportunity to see another day and juma’at it is really a great blessings and favour from almighty Allah. In suratul Rahman Allah said, Ar-Rahman 55:13

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? We can’t deny any of Allah’s favour for that we say Alhamdulillah.

Our discussion today will be focus on the Christmas celebration and the foods of our Christians neighbour. Questions has been coming that is it permissible for muslims to be part of the christmas celebration?

The answer is capital NO even among the christains there is no consensual agreement on christmas celebration , Al-Baqarah 2:113

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ لَيْسَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَۗ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْۚ فَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
The Jews say “The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on,” and the Christians say, “The Jews have nothing to stand on,” although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words.
Politics / 2019 Budget: Who Booed Who? by rmo19: 10:45pm On Dec 23, 2018
The Nigerian political drama continued in a new episode that got the jaws dropping after President, Muhammadu Buhari was allegedly booed by opposition party members in the National Assembly. In the midst of presenting the 2019 budget at a joint session of the National Assembly held on 19th December, 2018 some members of the both legislative chambers reacted to the president speech in a more loutish manner.
Perhaps, this is one the most ‘National embarrassments’ displayed by those who are supposed to make the laws for the country. This ill-mannered exhibition has clearly defined the kind of government and people who Nigerians elect to make laws for the country.

The first disappointment is that these people are supposed to make the laws but instead of maintaining full decorum in a special parliamentary session like this, they ended up displaying absolute immaturity never expected from people of their caliber.

Again, the second disappointment is that they have successfully and indirectly succeeded in bringing out their true colours. When they booed the president they thought they were opposing him but they are unaware that they booed themselves in the eyes of the world. In his response towards this uproar, President Buhari was reported to have said “The world is watching us, we are above this”. This statement by the president sends a strong message to not only the nerves of these so called parliamentarians but also to Nigerians that we have bunch of unserious lawmakers.

It can be recalled that this is a.....

YBTC NEWS-The Kano State government has mobilized over 3,000 thugs from 44 local government areas of the state to create chaos and scuttle the scheduled appearance before Kano State House of Assembly.

DAILY NIGERIAN had published verified videos clips showing the governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, receiving bribe from a contractor.

Although the state government had described the footages as “cloned” and threatened legal action against the publisher and the medium.

On October 18, the assembly invited DAILY NIGERIAN and its publisher, Jaafar Jaafar, to appear before its seven-man investigative panel to answer questions regarding the authenticity of the video clips published by the newspaper.

DAILY NIGERIAN lawyers had already written to the police, State Security Service, SSS, seeking adequate security “before, during and after” the investigative hearing on Thursday.

Amnesty International had also written to the Inspector-General of Police, Rabiu Yusuf, requesting security cover for the publisher before, during and after the event, but the agency is yet to receive the IGP’s reply.

But credible security sources said the Kano State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Yusuf, who is doing the governor’s bidding, had given nod for the state government to mobilise thugs to create chaos.

The group faulted a situation where the delegate list was changed by some money bagged Abuja politicians who have little or no political relevance back home. A situation in which the authentic voters list was used for the PDP governorship Primary and a fabricated list was used for the Senatorial and House of representatives election , was totally condemned by the group.

—2019: WHO WILL SHAKE BUHARI?

YBTC NEWS-The declaration by some political heavy weights to contest for the office of the presidency in the past week does not come as surprise to many people but rather, the fight to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari still remains another tug of war to people .


On Wednesday, 29th of August, 2018, former Kano state Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso declared his intention to run for President under the umbrella of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP. Despite the hiccups surrounding the venue for the declaration, Kwankwaso, the popular red “capist”, managed to officially make known his intention to oust President Buhari. Before the event, the Senator was reported to have been denied the use of Eagles Square by the Integrated Facility Management, the firm in charge of the venue. Amidst the controversy behind the venue, the Kano state Senator gathered his crowd at the new venue, Chida Hotel, Abuja to make his declaration.
Now, considering the popularity of Senator Kwankwaso, I personally believe he is a strong force that can interrupt the Buhari tsunami. Debatably, apart from President Buhari, Kwankwaso is the only candidate that can boast of popularity and love of the people in the Northern part of the country.


Kwankwaso is no doubt a political movement of his own. In an interview with BBC Hausa recently, Kwankwaso boasted that, he will defeat President Muhammadu Buhari if the PDP grants him their Presidential ticket.....

SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY (DR.) ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI, CON, PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AT A DIALOGUE WITH YOUTH AND YOUNG ASPIRANTS HELD AT SHERATON HOTEL, ABUJA, ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2018.

PROTOCOL.

1. Let me say, once again, how wonderful it is to see so many talented and purposeful young people at this first edition of the Public Dialogue Series with Political Parties on Youth Candidacy and Party Primaries. Looking at you, I see future leaders who present themselves as capable and worthy to take on the mantle of leadership in this country, and this gladdens my heart.

2. From my interactions with many of you, and with your contemporaries across the country, I can see that we are blessed with a determined generation that stands ready to join with us to power a Nigerian renaissance. The quality of people I see here today affirms my belief that, indeed, you are Not Too Young To Run.

3. I deeply appreciate this opportunity to share some of my ideas about where we are as a nation, as well as the challenges before us as we approach the great decider that is the 2019 General Elections.

4. It is widely acknowledged that ours is a relatively ‘young’ country bursting with tremendous energy, ability and potential. More than 70 per cent of our population is under the age of 40. You are indeed the future of this country. Ordinarily, such a young population would be the envy of many Western countries that are faced with ageing populations, but the dire state of our affairs tarnishes the youthful advantage that we have.

5. Up and down our country today, Nigerians are crying out for succour. Many of our children are hungry. Many people are dying of avoidable or otherwise treatable diseases. Many have fallen below basic living standards, and are now among the 87 million that sealed Nigeria’s position as the country with the highest number of people in extreme poverty. Our young people lack opportunities. The necessary education facilities and system to equip them for the future simply do not exist. We are not creating the jobs needed to usefully engage them in order to grow our economy. And too often, the youth feel shut out, prevented from having any say in the direction of this nation.

6. The harsh conditions of extreme poverty faced by the people, fuels the state of insecurity all over the country. Hunger, lack of education and lack of opportunities push many Nigerians into criminal activities including terrorism. Many of our communities are paralysed with fear – due to incessant communal crises, kidnappings and other social ills, as well as the threat of terrorism. We are failing abysmally to tackle the problems of today and to prepare for the future...

Politics / Pmb: Love Or Governance by rmo19: 8:12pm On Aug 25, 2018
YBTC NEWS-Unarguably, one can say President Muhammadu Buhari is one of the most loved leaders Africa has ever produced. Apart from Nelson Mandela of South Africa who selflessly served his nation simultaneously-loved and adored by his people, I think PMB should be next in the clique of naturally loved leaders in Africa.

During the 2015 elections that gave birth to the emergence of Buhari as the president, the celebrations across the country revealed a new love song to the streets. “SAI BABA” was the chant in every nook and cranny across the country especially in the Northern part of the country.

Like I said and will always say, the jubilations across various states in the country after the Buhari victory, one will think PMB is a messiah coming to save the country from its troubles.

In the heat of Buhari’s victory, a certain Suleiman Hashimu started the record breaking trekking fever in the country. Hashimu, if we all can recall, because of his love for PMB, trekked from Lagos to Abuja. Also, other trekkers in the league of trekking fever, followed suit; trekking across different parts of the country to mark the overwhelming victory of President Buhari.

That wasn’t all, after the inauguration of the President; some issues of Cabal hijacking the administration of Buhari ensued.

Infact, the whole issue of cabals was lit globally by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari during an interview with BBC Hausa in London.

Then, came the issue of concerning the President’s health which took him out of the country for about 103 days. To show the extent of the love President Muhammadu Buhari enjoys in the country, various mosques and churches dedicated some prayer hours to pray for his health and his safe return.

It was even supported with some sorts of fasting by some loyalists in seeking for the President’s good health.

Going down memory lane, after his safe return from London where he received medical attention, his plane landed in Kaduna as a result of the renovation of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. That is not the case, but, the mammoth crowd that received this man (Buhari) in Kaduna showed another display of natural love by the people. I personally viewed a clip that showed volumes of people....

YBTC NEWS-The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has mocked Senate President, Bukola Saraki over his presidential ambition.

APC National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, in a statement on Monday, said Saraki cannot pass integrity and anti-corruption test.

Nabene said: “In a recent interview with the international news organization, Bloomberg, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki unsurprisingly declared his intention to contest the 2019 Presidency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Against the backdrop of the litany of corruption allegations trailing the Senate President, Saraki’s declaration, brings to the fore our earlier call to anti-graft agencies to check the use of stolen public funds to finance elections in this country. We reiterate our position that the Nigerian electorate must have the opportunity to choose from candidates that can pass the integrity and anti-corruption test.

“Let us refresh our memory on some of Saraki’s corruption allegations: Allegations of fraud which led to the collapse of the Saraki family-owned Société Générale Bank (Bukola Saraki who was Director of the defunct bank was indicted over N1bn alleged to have been looted from the bank’s treasury)....

Politics / JUST IN: Kofi Annan Dies At Age 80 by rmo19: 2:18pm On Aug 18, 2018
YBTC NEWS- Kofi Annan, one of the world’s most celebrated diplomats and a charismatic symbol of the United Nations who rose through its ranks to become the first black African secretary-general, has died. He was 80.

His foundation announced his death in Switzerland’s capital, Bern, on Saturday in a tweet , saying he died after a short unspecified illness. It did not give details.

“Wherever there was suffering or need, he reached out and touched many people with his deep compassion and empathy,” the foundation said.

Annan spent virtually his entire career as an administrator in the United Nations. His aristocratic style, cool-tempered elegance and political savvy helped guide his ascent to become its seventh secretary-general, and the first hired from within. He served two terms from Jan. 1, 1997, to Dec. 31, 2006, capped nearly mid-way when he and the U.N. were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001.

During his tenure, Annan presided over some of the worst failures and scandals at the world body, one of its most turbulent periods since its founding in 1945. Challenges from the outset forced him to spend much of his time struggling to restore its tarnished reputation.

His enduring moral prestige remained largely undented, however, both through charisma and by virtue of having negotiated with most of the powers in the world.

When he departed from the United Nations, he left behind a global organization far more aggressively engaged in peacekeeping and fighting poverty, setting the framework for the U.N.’s 21st-century response to mass atrocities and its emphasis on human rights and development.

Politics / -nigeria Paid No Dime To Free Dapchi Girls,lai Mohammed Insists by rmo19: 11:29am On Aug 17, 2018
YBTC NEWS-Nigeria Federal Government has rejected a report by the United Nations, which claimed it paid a “large ransom” to secure the release of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, denied the claim in a statement on Thursday night.

He challenged anyone with evidence of such payment to publish it.

”It is not enough to say that Nigeria paid a ransom, little or huge. There must be a conclusive evidence to support such claim. Without that, the claim remains what it is: a mere conjecture,” the Minister was quoted as saying in a statement by his Special Adviser, Segun Adeyemi.

A United Nations report submitted to the Security Council had detailed how Boko Haram was funded and indicated that the payment of ransom and the predominance of cash economy aided the terrorists.

The report, dated July 27, 2018, was called ’22nd Report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team’ and it contained information about the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant – ISIL – (Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities.

Saraki also noted that he would need to win the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to achieve the objective of becoming the next president of the country.
