BrutusOj: I have never heard of fight between igede and idoma same as tiv and idoma. When last did tiv and igede fought?
the Tiv and Igede have always been bitter rivals that's why the Igedes hardly inter marry with them (it's even a Taboo). The Tivs as recent as last year had a land dispute with the Idomas at Adoka. The Tivs encroached into Idoma land at Opa - Adoka resulting in a communal clash. Though the Idoma and Igede have enjoyed relative peace with each other, they had a skirmish in the border communities between Otukpo and Oju as a result of Electricity black out.
Hmmmm, I don't want to cast aspersions or anything as such, but to be frank, There's no tribe that shares boundary with the Tivs that they've not fought with. They've fought with the Junkuns, Kuteb in Taraba, the Alagos and Eggon in Nasarawa, the Idomas and Igede in Benue, as well as with the Obudu people in Cross river. The common denominator is always land dispute.
Gerrard59: No one from Yobe with a score of 160 would gain admission into UNIZIK. Even at that, I strongly doubt such a person would gain admission to study Medicine in any Northern university. She is not competing with people from Yobe to get into UNIZIK, except she wants to study in a Northern university, which not many Igbo females do compared to their male counterparts.
I guess you've have not heard of ELDS ( educationally less developed states) or catchment areas. I have seen where a guy with JAMB score of less than 180 was given Medicine and surgery admission at ABU - Zaria. Are u aware that a Candidate from say Anambra or Enugu has a cut off mark of 130 to gain admission into unity schools ( Federal government colleges) while a candidate from kebbi or katsina requires just 4 marks for the same thing? That's quota system for you.
It depends on your post utme score or weac results
Competition wey person from Yobe with UTME score of 160 will be given medicine and surgery on merit list while someone with 300 from Anambra or IMO would not. Is that "competition" ?
lexyclasy: Israel is not as hopeless as you may think, Iran sponsors terrorism in Yemen using Houthi as a proxy, Iran is sponsoring terrorism in Lebanon using Hezbollah as proxy, Iran is sponsoring terrorism in Iraq using Shia militia-AAH as proxy, Iran is sponsoring terrorism in Syria using ISIS as proxy, Iran is sponsoring terrorisms in Palestine using Hamas as a proxy all this were to annihilate Israel , Iran is using Damascus Consulate house as a command center for coordinate attack against Israel yet by your own illusion Israel shouldn't have attack the very Iranian consulate premises use in carrying out attacks on Israel, till you and your terrorist support group get sense, there shall be no peace for the wicked. if you think it was US that help Israel then you must be high on cheap weed, Israel is self defense nation with Arrow 3, Iron Dome, David Sling and Portrait defense systems all operating in various capacities within Israel territory and you are here talking nonsense. yes as an ally US, UK, Jordan and even Saudi is of help but that doesn't mean that Israel wouldn't have defended it self, afterall all the missiles directed to Israel were dead dungs. can your country be like Israel fighting war in multi fronts with Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza etc. and still contend with attacks elsewhere, yet your rabble rouser Russia could not defeat common Ukraine after 2yrs, despite weapons collection from Iran, North Korea and China, keep deceiving yourself, Israel is not your mate. kiss the truth.
The patriot missile system is manufactured in which country? The F-35 Fighter jets used by the Israeli Airforce is produced in which country? Lastly which country is the highest recipient of US military aid in the world? Further more, kindly go and read article 51 of the United Nations charter and what it States about the sovereignty of Nations especially as regards embassy and consulates. For your Information, na me and your father be terrorist, in fact, your dad is our commander.
IyfeNamikaze: it was a consulate that was hit not an embassy. Besides, Iran has been arming and funding terrorism on isreal via Hezbollah and Hamas for years and even bombed a isreali embassy in Argentina in the past. This is tit for tat. But if Iran wants more then isreal are going to be very happy to indulge as they have been looking for a way to neuter Iran's nuclear capabilities.
what's the difference between a consulate and an embassy? Do they not represent a country and carry out complimentary functions? Did US not sponsor ISIS in Syria to obliterate the government of Bashir Al Asad before the Russians roasted them? Did US and Belgian authorities not sponsor Mobutu and Co to eliminate Patrick Lumumba of Congo?
franudi: But Iran has the right to support, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic jihadists, Houthis rebels etc against Israel? This world can never be good since people will see the truth and turn it upside down.
what do you call US sponsoring the alqaeda to attack the soviets in Afghanistan? Or CIA sponsoring Cuban dissidents to overthrow Fidel Castro in the gay of pigs? Or the funding of the contras to overthrow the Sandinista communist in Nicaragua? What about the so called "war on terror" by the US in Iraq under the guise of finding "weapons of mass destruction"? The sooner u stop listening western propaganda/ media and see the West for what it truly is. The better your world view.
Edusouls: nonsense and save face talk , I think say isreal can’t be attacked by Iran, now it has been done they don change tune, isreal don collect period…
wetin Israel collect? How many people die or wetin be de level of destruction wey those drones do? Even one rat or ant no die from that attack. Na knock out Iran just shoot at Israel.
tubolancer: But Israel did not attack Iran on their territory. By attacking a country with deadly drones is an act or declaration of war, I think Israel has the right to defend herself. Iranian generals were killed outside their border of which the Iranian can also retaliate by killing or destroying some Israeli interest outside the border of Israel which she (Iran) have been doing over a decade ago even recently.
An Embassy, any where in the world is seen as an extension of that country, That is why The US Embassy in Nigeria can't be attacked by our military because it would be seen as an act of war according to Article 51 of the UN charter. Today, Mexico and Ecuador are having a diplomatic row because the Ecuadorians stormed the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador to arrest her former VP who ran to the Embassy to request for political asylum. Julian Assange of wikilinks was held in Ecuadorian Embassy in London for more than a year and couldn't be arrested by US and England because they respected that principle. It had to take a government not sympathetic to Julian's cause to evict him from the embassy before he was arrested. If Israel wanted to respect international law they ought to have killed those military officers outside the embassy. But you and I know that Israel is above the law. That is why I insist that UN is a toothless bulldog when it comes to US or Israel.
Edusouls: Were are all those brainwashed religious black monkeys shouting Gods own nation, Iran cant do shit ? Iran don am to una almighty isreal Dey collect rain of killer drones and ballistic missiles from Iran, Jewish psychopath Netanyahus madness don too much, attacking someone’s consulate brazenly crossed the red line, una think say Persians na kids abby ? I blame USA for this escalation, worlds most corrupt aggressive , hypocritical nation
Funny enough, the Israeli Air defence systems: Iron dome, David sling and their Patriot missile system neutralized most of the threats. Those drones had a top speed of 185Km/hr and will take 2 hours to reach it's target because they were launched from Iran. To me, the Iranians are not serious about this attack. I think it's just a propaganda move just to save face and show their people that at least they're responding to Israel's aggression. If they were serious, the should have used hypersonic missiles from her allies ( Russia and China) to even the scores that would have sent a strong message.
Israel drew the first blood. Attacking the Iranian embassy in Syria which resulted in the killing of 7 Senior military officers is an act of war. The hypocrisy of the West and United Nations in general is evident in their continued silence. Israel can eliminate their enemies any where in the world but the choice of hitting an embassy of a sovereign nation, was a little too far and also an open declaration of war. As expected, Iran has to retaliate, if for anything but to save face. The domino effect will be massive and would threaten the stability of the gulf region.
Bruisecruise: They love setting Black people up for insult ehn.
No white production company would allow a movie of Idris Elba to pair with some hideous white girl whatever the story line may be.
It’s time Black people build and take complete ownership of their own EVERYTHING and stop ranting or complaining to get treated better in white spaces.
Spoiler Alert: Idris Elba casted along side Ali Larter (hideous white girl) in "Obsessed" .
DJInfluence: I don't understand this write up, did she trained in UK on behalf of the Nigeria army or is she a British soldier?
If she's a British soldier then as commendable as this achievement is, it's not benefiting Nigeria in anyway. She will be defending Britain not Nigeria.
Hence, my earlier statement... I don't understand...
No, she is the first regular female officer from NDA to ever pass out from Sandhurst. The best regular army cadet ( with First class) from NDA is usually sent in his/ her final year to graduate from Sandhurst.
Congratulations to her. I only hope the Nigerian Army will productively engage this gallant lady officer. Chauvinism is rife in the Nigerian Military and many still believe women don't deceive to have a place in the military. Many of them, especially in the army are rarely deployed to combat units or to the front lines. Some northern Muslim soldiers even believe it is "Haram" to obey the orders of a lady officer!
Holiness2100: Which land. Over 2000 yrs before your muhammed was born, the Jews have been on their land. Even your koran tells you the land belongs to jews. You are here talking of 70yrs. You lack knowledge bro. Ask God Almighty for knowledge so you dint just talk anyhow.
I am a Christian for your information, besides those guys claiming to be Jews are not real Jews. They are Khazarians, Turkic speaking people indigenous to Southern Russian, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Poland and part of Germany. They converted to Judaism. They are what we call Ashkenazi Jews. They migrated into Palestine when Rothschild bought the land from Britain after the British defeated the Ottoman empire and needed finance to prosecute WW1. The then British PM Balfour sold the land to Rothschild, who started sending Jews to the holy land. They in turn killed their Arab hosts who initially received them and were living peacefully with them. The current Israelis have no true ties to the Land. That is why today in Israel doing DNA test is illegal because they know the Truth. The true Hebrews are "BLACK" people. That is why the west is angry with Putin, because he is exposing the Truth which has been buried under layers of thick lies and deception for centuries. The Khazars can't claim owner ship of the holy land because they are converts. It's just like saying a Hausa- Fulani Muslim is claiming ownership of Saudi Arabia because he is a Muslim. For a better understanding of the conflict watch:
Holiness2100: But genocide already happened on oct 7. Where were you bro? Were your eyes blocked then? Did you have glaucoma then?
What would you do, if somebody claims to be the owner of your land and that "God" promised the land to him, he kills your people and placed them under occupation for over 70 years! Seize their lands and places restriction on their movement, the can't go out or come in without permission from the occupiers? I guess according to the good book, you will turn the other cheek or forgive them right?
DeepThroater: It Did Not Start On October 7th: Jewish Terrorism On Palestinians
Israel’s secretive intelligence service, MOSSAD’s motto is, “By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War.” Yet the true Torah states,
Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy. Proverbs 12:20-21
Since its inception by the UN Decree of 1947, Israel has not known peace. It’s history is riddled full of unjust violence. For example from the book, The Synagogue of Satan, The Secret History Jewish World Domination by Andrew C. Hitchcock: Richard Catling states,
[b] 1948: In the early hours of April 19th, 132 Jewish terrorists from the Irgun gang, led by future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and the Stern gang, led by future Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, brutally massacred 200 men, women and children as they are sleeping peacefully in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. In an effort to prevent outside observers discovering the brutality of their war crimes, they try to burn some of the bodies, but when that proves unsatisfactory, they stuff some in a well to hide them from the Red Cross representatives who arrive on the scene the next day and would subsequently tell the world.
Indeed reports from survivors can be found in the, “Report of the Criminal Investigation Division,” a Palestine Government Document labelled, No. 179/110/17/GS dated April 13th, 15th, and 16th, 1948, in which British interrogating officer, Assistant Inspector General Richard Catling states,
“The recording of statements is hampered also by the hysterical state of the women, who often break down many times, whilst the statement is being recorded. There is, however, no doubt that many sexual atrocities were committed by the attacking Jews. Many young school girls were raped and later slaughtered. Old women were also molested. One story is current concerning a case in which a young girl was literally torn in two. Many infants were butchered and killed. I also saw one old woman who gave her age as 104, who had been severely beaten about the head with rifle butts. Women had bracelets torn from their arms and rings from their fingers, and parts of some women’s ears were severed in order to remove ear-rings.” [/b]
The Nakbas continue 76 years later, now climaxing with the unnecessary near complete destruction of all Gaza habitation, the homes and communities of 2.5 million Palestinians. Even historic sites and cemetaries were not spared. This was land to remain Palestinian under the UN Decree commensing 1948. If this was not enough, now Israel is now resorting to starving the Palestinians, its cruelty extending even to murdering those who sought out the sparse food aid released by the IDF.
Official government statistics are highly inaccurate. Realistic estimates of the dead now exceed 200 thousand. Sufficient evidence has surfaced through various on-line credible testimonies and video footage released before suppression, that it was the IDF who did most of the October 7, 2023 death and destruction. Although various governments to include Israel and its satellites the US, UK, and etc., have initiated oxymoronic punitive threats toward those “denying the official Israeli narrative” under various hate crime statutes as “anti-Semitic.” This is oxymoronic as the Palestinians are Semites and the Israelis are not – read Shlomo Sands’ “Invention of the Jewish People“, Arthur Koestler’s “The 13th Tribe“, Paul Wexler’s “The Non-Jewish Origins of the Sephardic Jews.”)
Yet still the truth prevails.
These are not actions of a normal people. Then to add insult to injury, its voices of leadership, both government officials and its mainstream media now resort to nuclear arms threats if it does not get its way. Regarding the wicked, does not this not aptly describe them?
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in secret places doth he slay the innocent; his eyes are on the watch for the helpless. He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net. He croucheth, he boweth down, and the helpless fall into his mighty claws. He hath said in his heart: ‘God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.‘ Psalms 10:7-11 (JPS)
Yet, God has seen.
Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they execute it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away; thus they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Therefore thus saith HaShem: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk upright; for it shall be an evil time. Micah 2:1-3 .
Very insightful and thoroughly researched write - up, complete with historical and biblical references. You show a deep understanding of the Israeli - Palestine crisis. Unlike that Righteousness2 who reads his bible upside down and is blinded by Western propaganda and lies. He doesn't even know the "Jews" he is supporting are fake people from Europe who don't have true ties to Ancient Israel. They came to Israel when Rothschild bought the land from Britain, and the Ashkenazi "Jews" started migrating to Palestine.
Kai! Christy, Omo I miss her straff like die! Omo if u see this chick kaka ehn! Thinking about her back shots is even giving me a hard on. Another thing was that she was a terrific cook. Her food was simply mweh!
Since Uba Sani refused to play the divisive and devilish script your dad mapped out for him, he has now become the enemy? Una never see anything yet. Look at this spoilt privileged kid who rode onto power through his father's influence. Apart from your dad, which pedigree do you even have?
RealAfonja: Are there mosques at University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and Uniport? if there aren't, nobody should disturb us with unnecessary court case.
Muntula, at the entrance of UNN by the gate the first thing you'll see is the mosque. Even in IBO land, they're still tolerant, but Muslims are the exact opposite. The same nonsense happening in Katsina is also obtainable in Kaduna state university.
Emu4life: Go to Christian Universities and stop disturbing our Peace. Hypocrites!!
Are the institutions not government owned? Does the constitution of Nigeria not guarantee freedom of religion under the law? The Christian universities are privately owned and have the prerogative to determine what goes on in the campus. So long as it's a government owned institution, there's not supposed to be any form of discrimination. Abi dem no teach you for una Masjid say Islam na religion of "peace"? Muntula
This kind of situation has national security implications. Nigeria should not be overly reliant on other Nations for her internet connectivity. In addition to undersea cable borne internet, we ought to explore the possibility of Satellite internet connection eg Starlink. This ugly incidence has exposed how vulnerable our economy and livelihood can be susceptible to foreign sabotage and cyber attacks.
