Sure, since they are tilting towards Iran they will support Bashar Assad. Iranian foreign minister is scheduled to meet his Turkish counterpart soon and President Erdogan to see how they will render support to Qatar on how to ease the food shortage which is about to happen in a fortnight.
Qatar has shown the House of Saud that she can do without them.

Definitely. This is how it should be, we can't all be supporting Saudi Arabia and America

Gaddafithe2nd:

For many years now Saudi has been pumping more money to spread her Wahhabi ideology, don't be suprised a sectarian violence might occur in Senegal soon because, Shia are also o ground.

Qatar need to partner with Iran in constructing the Islamic pipeline which will pass through Syria. This is the pipeline that has led to the proxy war in Syria. But, Qatar must stop funding those rebels in Syria and pull out from the Yemen war.

I know they have been forced to pull out of Yemen. supporting rebels in Syria, I haven't even heard about them stopping that. But I think that should be next thing on their mind and support for Bashar Assad to remain President.

The best thing for Qatar is to align itself with Iran, Turkey, Russia and also build a good and working relationship with Oman and Kuwait.

Even with her money and large crude deposits, the state still largely depend on Saudi Arabia for it only land border for incoming of goods, which is what the Wahabist deluded state is banking on as a means in stifling the small Arabian state.

Qater surely has a different foreign policy from almost every Gulf state. It problem with Egypt, which I believe is only acting out scripts of Saudi Arabia, stem from it support of the Muslim Brotherhood, one the strongest and still formidable political movement in the middle east and Aljazeera continue airing and labeling Mohammed Morsi ouster as coup, instead of preferred President Fattah Al-Asisi, revolution.

Whilst I accept Yemen, Jordan, Hafter Libya faction, Sudan, Bahrain and UAE, for siding with the Saudis and also cutting ties with Qatar, I still seem not to get Senegal reason in also following suit and joining Gulf States in the open display of foolishness against Qatar, who also can't be supported outrightly.

In the wake of the London attack, Islamic State atrocities in the middle east and beyond, same with Boko Haram maddening unending carnage in North East Nigeria and Somalia by Al-Shabab, Taliban in Afghanistan, the question that has refused to go away, pops up again.

Why is Islam so violent? Is Islam truly violent? why is death always associated with Islam? Why some have already giving answer to the questions, some are still left confuse wondering why the suppose religion of peace, bring forth so much pain and destruction anytime it faithfuls struck.

My take on this, is same as some scholars: you really can’t take the peoples inherent character away from them, Islam only is a vessel for which they use in perpetrating their crimes.

Take for example a Yoruba Muslim to a Northern Muslim. You see the different, it is glaring and very obvious.

The vestiges of the puritanical Islam, envisage by Sayyid Qutd still remains, those who buy his ideas are still alive and spreading the Salafist idea he spoke about.

He was most widely credited, or blamed, for bringing salafism into the 20th Century was the Egyptian thinker
Sayyid Qutb. He provided a direct bridge from the thought and heritage of Abd al-Wahhab. (Jim Muir, 2016, BBC: Islamic State group: The full story)
My explanation in an online discussion, bares it —
We should always ask ourselves why a Yoruba Muslim is different from those in the north. Same as a western Muslim different from those in the Middle East.

You see in northern Nigeria, Islam came with violent and bloodshed, while over here, my people because of their accommodative nature, where able to accept those who came with the Qur’an in their folds, didn’t shout or frown at their way of life. But accepted them with open hands.
Time was only what Islam needed in the West and it got, as some changed and became Muslim.

No it didn’t have that in the North and went the way of it founder.

I fear a typical Northerner not because he is a Muslim, but because of who he is and what Islam has done to him.

The Qur’an itself support violent, but the question is, why has Yorubas, being able to embrace peace even though the Qur’an they read and use is same with the ones ready in the North and Asia? It is only a south westerner Nigeria Muslim, that will you get a different meaning of Jihad, even when the meaning is lucid for us to see.

Only a Yoruba Muslim man, will be bold enough to marry a Yoruba Christian, and there won't be any fuss attach to it. Vice visa.

I believe the question, should be why has the Yorubas, being able, even with Islam not shift to violence?
Muhammad in itself, was a dictator and totalitarian in nature. A very good one.

During his rein as the ruler of those cities under his command, you wouldn’t hear a word of a soldier or politician going against his rule or wanting to overthrow him his government.

Mohammed was smart, so smart that he was able to bring forth a book.

A book that was able douse the recalcitrant attitude of the Arabians, and bring them under his control.
The guy was smart and had the idea of how to rule his people. So when I hear people say Mohammed was an illiterate merchant, i tend to wonder if they actually know who the man truly is.

Historical records has shown us that, immediately Mohammed died, those behind him, had a different idea from Mohammed idea of what Islam should be. They were ambitious, wanted more lands and wanted to create empires.

Mohammed goof when he didn’t anoint a visible successor, he created a mess. Even though he knew fully well the kind of people the Arabians are. He alone could have stopped what is being witnessed today in the world.

According to Sunni tradition, Muhammad did not clearly designate a successor and the Muslim community acted according to his sunnah in electing his father-in-law Abu Bakr as the first caliph. This contrasts with the Shi’a view, which holds that Muhammad intended his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib to succeed him. (Wikipedia)

Mohammed death changed Islam. Islam became something else, it vision and mission became different from Mohammed vision. Mohammed, may have had the idea of spreading Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula, if he did, he never went beyond Arabian lands.

Immediately he died and Ali took over, there was crisis, that took Ali life, then Abu Bakr took over Islam, after then it went kaboom, killing and maiming.

All because they wanted more lands to create an empire, a Caliphate that would answer to those in Mecca and Medina.

Religion itself is a problem, it shouldn’t have existed.
The Bible and Qur’an, are two books that should have never existed. if God existed, he shouldn’t have allowed those two books to exist. But as it, he/she doesn’t exist.

The sharia, which is the revered Islamic constitution, is philosophy of hate and wickedness, same as the Old Bible Testament of the Christian faith, which bores semblance of violence and chaos.

Conclusion

As I have always said, the Middle East, which is a majorly Muslim State, from time immemorial, where violent and recalcitrant in nature. You can’t take that away from them.

Religion, mostly Islam, only brought out who they are. That’s why I always believe the region countries should be dictatorial or maybe the way Iran is.

Islam is need of serious reformation. The Christian did it and it worked.

Same could be applied to Northern Nigeria and Somalia.

LANRE ADEWOLE, SHOLA ADEKOLA, LEKAN OLABULO, AYOMIDE OWONIBI and SHEHU BELLO tried to make sense of the new marijuana culture in Lagos State.
THERE are now proofs that members of the elite in Lagos State have been consuming hemp seeds and top grade cannabis in the name of higher-level protein. This class of people includes nursing mothers who have been garnishing their salad and that of their children with the so-called “wonder seeds”.
A major pronouncement, last week, by the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) settled the controversy over hemp seeds selling like hot cake in Lagos supermarkets. The agency’s spokesperson, Michel Ofoyeju, told Saturday Tribune that the seeds, made available to the agency by
Saturday Tribune, tested positive for marijuana following a forensic laboratory test. The product is without the approval and number of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC.
Supermarket boom
Despite the product being practically swept out of the supermarket shelves, making it one of the fastest selling edible products, going by Saturday Tribune’s findings while posing as a buyer, both NDLEA and NAFDAC never heard of it until Saturday Tribune brought it to their notice. When Saturday Tribune got across to a NAFDAC director, Jimoh Abubakar, on Thursday, he asked again, “you mean hemp seeds?” He was very emphatic that regardless of the so-called health purposes the seeds purportedly serve, the product remained illegal as long as it wasn’t with the agency’s number.
With all the requisite details made available to him, he gave the assurance that the Lagos end of the agency would be swinging into action immediately.
In the supermarkets where Saturday Tribune confirmed the product was being sold, you can now walk in and buy the hemp seeds, neatly tucked in a glittering pack and still walk away with receipts to authenticate your patronage.
Apart from the hemp seeds, many other products are reportedly on the shelves of major supermarkets in the state, garnished with banned stimulants and being sold in the open.
Weed everywhere
It isn’t that hemp, whether fibre or seed, is so difficult to come by. Nearly everywhere in the country, there are millions of smokers patronising that variety of cannabis despite the various legislations making its unregulated consumption illegal in the country.
Until the discovery by Saturday Tribune, hemp, despite its high consumption everywhere by both the low and the mighty in the society, is still sold with some measure of secrecy. Even ladies who patronise the weed for hair treatment testify they don’t just go pick on open shelves in a supermarket and walk away with receipt.
A Saturday Tribune source who does regular weed patronage to help her hair growth disclosed that although the stuff is sold by some “bad boys” behind her house, she still has to discreetly demand for the stuff over a not-too-high wall separating their compounds and throw the money to the other side after collecting “the stuff”.
Hemp salad
A Saturday Tribune correspondent, however, got a new shocking orientation from a girl who usually brought a different kind of salad to her place of assignment. The dark substance in the salad never made much sense to her until the reporter casually requested from her the kind of seedlings in the salad and her friend gleefully declared it “hemp seeds”.
“She told me how nutritious the seeds are and the unbelievable protein source they could be to the system,” the reporter said.
Trailing the seeds
Then the search for the “wonder seed” began for Saturday Tribune. The first visit was fruitless as the stock had been cleared out. Two supermarkets pointed to Saturday Tribune had none on their shelves. Could it be that the long hand of the law had reached them? Saturday Tribune wondered. Days after showed that the question was needless. They were still in business. The packs were back on the shelves and Saturday Tribune got one and it didn’t come cheap. It was N3,000 per pack despite not being cleared for consumption.
Saturday Tribune also got receipted for the patronage. The days between the first visit to the supermarket and when the package was eventually got were also full of drama. Initially, when Saturday Tribune’s reporter got across to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to seek clarification on whether hemp seed could be sold in the open, the agency made immediate attempt to go for the stock and get all the packs confiscated for test but inexplicably met none there.
Ironically, Saturday Tribune bought a pack from the same store the next day. Almost immediately the agency got wind of the seed being re-stocked, another visit returned negative search. However, the agency had to eventually rely on Saturday Tribune to lay its hands on a pack but not directly from the shelves of any of the stores. It could not be established if someone somewhere was tipping the stores about the planned raids.
From Canada with smoke
Though the hemp seeds are being bagged by Gourment Nut with address given as 3611 14th Ave. Brooklyn NY 11218, United States of America, the company pointed out on the pack that the hemp seeds, which are the main ingredients, are product of Canada. Saturday Tribune’s checks showed that while hemp or marijuana in whatever form isn’t yet legal in Canada, the country’s leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in April 2017, sent a bill to the parliament seeking to make the consumption of marijuana legal in the country. Marijuana is, however, legal in some American states like Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada.
Gourment also explained that the hemp seed packs were “manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts/nuts”. The pack got by Saturday Tribune from a supermarket located at Ogudu GRA, Lagos, on 29 May, 2017 at exactly 4.02.53 p.m. reads “Best BY 3/17/18” suggesting 17th March 2018, with batch no 6 0972284434 5.
In the item column, the receipt reads “GOURMT NUT HEM” with the “P” in “Hemp” omitted and “Seeds” not reflecting at all.
In marketing the package’s benefits, the company says “hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids and are a rich source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, which may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. They are also a great source of protein contain high amounts of trace minerals, including magnesium, iron and potassium as well as Vitamin E and antioxidants”.
Potential users were then invited to “try sprinkling hemp seeds over a salad as a topping on granola or mixed in a smoothie”.
The promo on the pack must have got Saturday Tribune’s original source hooked on it, particularly the aspect on topping salad with the seeds. The source told our correspondent that the “topped salad” is always “stimulating”.
The benefits of the seeds are also listed to include “10 grams of protein per serving. Gourmet Nut 100 whole grain. Hemp seeds are nutritional superfood High in protein, Omega 3 and contain all nine essential amino acids. Packed with 10g of protein and Vitamin E. Net WT 340g.” The nutritional facts; serving size 1oz (28g) serving per container 12, Calories 163, fat Cal 118.
There is also a long list of vitamin benefits like total fat 13g or 19%, sat fat 1g or 5%, Trans fat 0g, Cholesterol 0mg. Sodium 0mg, Total Carb 2g or 1%, Dietary Fiber 1g or 4%, Sugars 0g, Protein 10g, Vitamin A, C 0%, Calcium 0%, Iron 15%. Percent daily values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
Saturday Tribune got across to Gourmet Nut, the maker of the product, through its website, www.GourmentNut.com, which is the only contact point provided on the hemp seed package, to ask why the product didn’t go through NAFDAC validation process.
As of press time, no response had been received.
The product was sighted by Saturday Tribune in a supermarket in Opebi, in its numbers, comfortably perched on the shelf.
Hawking Igbo on the street
If the packaged marijuana from America is considered a bit exorbitant in cost for an average hemp smoker, the streets of Lagos are providing cheaper products for those in lower economic class. Invariably, there is Igbo for every interested person, elite or commoner. Saturday Tribune went in search of this product on the streets and it wasn’t too difficult getting contacts to fish the product out.
When Saturday Tribune visited a bar in the Ikosi Ketu area, it was observed that a corner of the bar was surreptitiously used by Indian hemp sellers who engage in the business. The bar was bubbling with people and also with those engaging in other legal business activities like drinks, suya and pepper soup.
It was observed that a hemp buyer, after locating the seller, would walk close to him or her and transaction would follow. It was also noticed that sellers at times move around looking for prospective customers who would be interested in buying hemp while in the bar.
During the visit to an Indian hemp joint in Akute, on the outskirts of Lagos, it was observed that those engaged in the illicit trade use abandoned and uncompleted buildings around the Jolasco area of the community. A known smoker in Jolasco, Akute, who was approached by Saturday Tribune, said the area around Jolasco is filled with Indian hemp sellers and smokers.
The smoker asked Saturday Tribune’s reporter the variety he desired, asking if he wanted Sk or smoke, which is also known as Skunk or Igbo. When Saturday Tribune said Igbo, he told the reporter he should tell the sellers whenever he got to their joint that he needed smoke and not Igbo in order not to appear like a novice.
When the reporter got to the joint, it was filed with young boys puffing smoke from their sticks. The seller approached by Saturday Tribune asked what the reporter wanted, to which he said smoke with the seller also demanding the amount. When Saturday Tribune said N100 in two pieces, it was observed that the weed had already been wrapped by the seller and was just handed over to the reporter.
It was the hemp smoker in Jolasco who told Saturday Tribune that hemp price varied and that it depended on the amount buyers wanted. When pressed further on the commonest portion most buyers go, he said it would range from N100 to N500, depending on buyer’s request. “We have N100, N200, N300 and at times people ask to buy more than N500 and even going to N1000,” he said.
Another hemp smoker who didn’t want his name in print disclosed that the prices of hemp had gone up, as it was sold for as low N50 before the hike. “We basically get it for as low as N50, but now the price now starts from N100 up to any amount you want. I think the recession affected the price of Indian hemp, even skunk price too went up and these are things we use to relax our body. At times, season could affect sales also”.
Police react
The image maker of the state police command, Olarinde Famous-Cole, stated that the police had always combed places where Indian hemp was being sold in many parts of the state. He added that the Special Task Force on the environment had been working with relevant agencies of the state government to clamp down on Indian hemp spots and other black spots.
“That is why we have the task force. They have been clamping down on places where such drugs are sold and even black spots where people smoke them. They are working with agencies of the Lagos State government in that direction. The task force is part of the Lagos state police command,” Famous-Cole said.
Mental health expert speaks
In a telephone interview, a consultant psychiatrist, Dr Olayinka Atilola, said the entire plant of marijuana has the same active ingredient.
“I will be surprised over your claim that packaged marijuana seed is now sold Nigeria, because marijuana is illegal in Nigeria. Whether fibre or seed, it is illegal. The entire plant has the same active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol, which can be found in every part of marijuana. So, I am very surprised to hear this.”
When asked if the seed could also aid violence, Dr Atilola said he wouldn’t want to stereotype but everything that could be attributed to fibre is also found in every part of the plant.
Ghana connection
The multiple unmanned and poorly-manned borders in Lagos likely account for the unprecedented surge in marijuana consumption in the state despite being dubbed illegal by the law of the land.
Occasional bursting of such “importation” by law enforcers shows the massive movement of marijuana into the country. Penultimate Friday, May 26, anti-narcotic officials with the Seme Border command of the National NDLEA, Lagos, intercepted 5,863 kilogrammes of compressed dried weeds that tested positive for cannabis.
“The illicit drug consignments originating from the republic of Ghana through the waterways were seized in two separate operations at Badagry, Lagos State,” the agency said in a statement.
Four suspected drug traffickers, including a Ghanaian, were arrested in connection with the seized drugs worth N60 million, according to the agency, while two vehicles used in conveying the drug were impounded.
NDLEA commander at Seme Border, Udotong Essien, said the twin shipments of cannabis were made within 48 hours.
“The first consignment of cannabis weighing 3,525kg was discovered in a clandestine warehouse where a Ghanaian and two female Nigerians were apprehended. The suspects are a 38-year-old Ghanaian, Adoboe Nana Shelter, as well as two female Nigerians, Falilat Sadiq and Mary Ige Joseph, both 39 years old.
“The following day, the command made a similar seizure of cannabis weighing 2,338kg being smuggled in a bus meant for distribution in Lagos. A male suspect, Bola Adigun, was equally arrested in respect of the second seizure,” Essien said.
The NDLEA said the criminal group specialised in smuggling compressed cannabis through the waterways into the country and using yellow commercial buses to supply to dealers within Lagos. They also allegedly used ladies who pretended to be legitimate traders conveying their wares to preferred destinations, the agency added.
The Ghanaian who claimed to be a fisherman said in his statement that he illegally imported cannabis into the country because of the anticipated financial gain involved.
According to him, “I am a fisherman from Volta region in Ghana. A friend introduced me into hemp business because of the profit. The two women work with me in distributing the drug in Lagos. This is my first arrest and I promise to quit drug trafficking if released.”
The NDLEA chairman, Muhammad Abdallah, described the seizures as a victory against the activities of drug trafficking syndicates working at Seme border.
“I am very pleased with the latest seizure by Seme border command. The illicit activities of the criminal group have been closely monitored by undercover officers until it was expedient to intercept the drugs. This is a sweet victory for the agency and a demonstration of our capacity to dislodge drug trafficking groups in the country.
“We are taking legal steps to sanction those arrested for smuggling the drugs and also forfeit both the warehouse and vehicles used in conveying the drugs. These are essential elements in ensuring absolute dismantling of drug trafficking cartels. Let me warn that the entire border and water ways are under our watch to uncover drug smuggling and prosecute offenders in accordance with the NDLEA Act,” Abdallah noted.
The NDLEA boss urged security agencies to collaborate towards the common goal of enhancing national security and called on members of the public to report suspected drug activities in their neighbourhood to the agency for prompt action, adding that the suspects would soon be charged to court.
Hemp history
Wikipedia says : “Hemp is a variety of cannabis that is grown for the fiber and seeds. The fiber and seeds are incredibly valuable and is why hemp is often called a ‘cash crop’. Hemp is a very hearty plant and grows very quickly in very diverse soil conditions. Cultivation of hemp for industrial purposes has been done by many civilizations for over 12,000 years. Industrial hemp was the desired fiber used to manufacture rope, canvas, paper, and clothing until alternative textiles and synthetics for these purposes were discovered.
Although China has been the largest hemp producer over the years, other countries such as Australia and Canada are catching up. It has been illegal for anyone to grow hemp in the United States as hemp is illegal under the marijuana prohibition act but Colorado has changed the laws and paved the way for industrial hemp production again in the United States. Now hemp oils, hemp plastics, hemp building materials and many hemp fiber products can be seen and purchased on the market. Hemp is truly an amazing plant with the potential to help ‘green up’ many industries”.

It is a bit lengthy, but I promise to make it short. I am in trouble, I am a mess, even though my sad love story started way back in 2011, it seem still I have not been able to overcome it, being able to say goodbye to the girl that brought so much pain and anguish to me.

This is my sad love story. A tale of regret, anger, anguish, disappointment, loneliness and hopelessness.

I hope to get advice because I am tired of everything.

We all seem to get that one person, that girl that will mean the world, that girl that will make you feel good and OK. But unfortunately the girl that became my everything, was actually the she devil.

Since meeting her and popping that question, it has been nothing but sadness and regret.

It wasn't all that sad at the beginning. I actually even enjoyed the short period we dated.

I was a freshman in higher institution, I even actually hadn't spent a year, when my head started turning toward this slim and tall damsel that was in the same Class with me.

It was in 2011, in my early 20, that relationship came crashing after 4 months. she left me, dumped me and chose someone basically better and handsome.

That day almost felt like dream as I couldn't belive it, I felt anguish, bitter and angry but what I didn't know was that the relationship, that break up would 6 years after continue to haunt me.

Its been six years and I seem not to have gotten over it. My mind tends to keep on bringing her up and what I went through. I was broken and self esteem destroyed.

The dumping stuff actually affected me throughout the year, and though I made the best of it, through channeling the heartbreak to better use during my IT as the anger and sadness was devoted to work, which actually paid off.

If I had thought everything was going to be better, I was actually kidding myself, didn't know what happened and what I went through during my IT, was going to be a child's play to what was coming.

After going back to school, I was so foolish and stupid, to date her again. Didn't actually know what came over me, but in all, it was also a sham, a mistaken as again I was dumped when someone to her who is better, more finer came along and again I was left.

This time, it wasn't going to be like how I was able to work through the emotion. I had no idea, didn't know what I could as work and music couldn't help.

I was really shattered and my self esteem defeated. I felt useless and hopeless. I kept on asking myself, what I did? Why she was dumping me? and even wondering why I always accept her, when I know I am a second choice, a part time boyfriend. I ask myself if I am not better or handsome?
I was a mess, complete mess, and been in a relationship seem to be an uphill task as I tend to mess up things.

I am 29 and single. Still single not because I don't have girls I am going to date. I even had a girl that loved me and was ready to do anything, but as last I messed things up. Its being like that, three relationships since 2012 and everyone ended because of me.

I am strong, not weak, I am brilliant and not dull, I am hardworking and not lazy. I have been in battles and won, I was once told I wouldn't move far in life, but I did and came out victorious. I was told education was never for me, I did and came out victorious, I was told I would never be a good brother to my siblings, but I did and came out victorious.

But the 2011 incident is something I havee been able shake off, something I am not able to defeat, something that has held down. Stop me from moving forward.

An albatross

I am at the mercy of the winch, the she devil, who actually knows where to press in my heart, when ever she's in need of it.

I want out, I am tired.

Less I forget, according to her, she said she's sick. (lumps and h-murmur), I don't know if this is the reason, but it is actually part of mine being not to be able to shake it off.

Ikio:
i noticed most nairalanders will back you but allepo is not fully controlled by russia yet and u.s coalition have siezed more territories than russia's but don't make noise about it.Maybe u should do research on it.

Even maps released by Aljazeera, shows Assad controls more land and you claim that US coalition have siezed more territories than russia's but don't make noise about it. Makes me laugh.

He is high on weed.

Ikio:
Losers will say u.s have lost but no they won millitary becos U.S have freed atleast 9 cities from isil latest is tabqa, partially mosul and now fighting 4 raqqa but politicially they are not winning becos they want get iran out and the syrian president 2. Russia are still fighting 4 alleppo.

You are wrong, Russia ain't fighting for Aleppo. All Aleppo is under the control of the Syrian government, and you are also wrong when you said America backed rebel force has won more territories than the Assad government which is backed by Russia.

I see no different between this guys and those guys carrying guns in the Night. Pure rubbish

Russia seem to have been able to position itself well, achieving what most countries couldn’t achieved after World War Two. It has achieved a global parity with the United State.

Why Putin build bridges, America and its allies fight an Imaginary enemy. The Syrian crisis has paved the way for the former Soviet power-house to once more regain its foothold in the world which it greatly enjoyed during the Soviet Union era.

We can see a successful pattern of Russian manoeuvring. It has patched things up with Turkey, strike an understanding with Israel and Turkey, and also becoming a strong ally to Iran.

Russia is becoming a state to reckon with; you could see from it influence in the media, to the military and even the seemingly growth in its economy though has suffered a bit from western imposed sanctions.
Russia has changed, ain’t what it used to be unlike in the era of Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. It is now more progressive and Liberal.

It may not have played out well in Libya, but the Syrian conflict has shown to be a platform where Russia has been able to place itself amongst those who decide how the world should be.

The conflict in Syria has a new commander. The US is no longer needed, it has been unceremoniously dumped by Russia.

The breakthrough achieved through the discussions in Astana, Kazakhstan establishing a de-escalation zone in Idlib province, to the north of the city of Homs, in Eastern Ghouta near Damascus, and in the south of Syria, which was made successful by Russia, Turkey and Iran, shows the presence of Americans are no longer necessary nor needed.

Russia arguably is the new Sheriff. It has become a lucid opposition to the hegemony laboured hard through the years by America, through covert and overt ousting of legitimate leaders of sovereign and independent countries.

Bashar Al-Assad is onlya still breathen because of Russia support,and still having a military because of their air support.

Only one has been able to survive the US and its machineries. Only one was bold enough to come across them and survive. Vladimir Putin is the second, the new Sheriff, the specialist that usurped and ridiculed the Yankees in Syria and Ukraine.

Even with thousands of NATO troops amassing close to the border with Russia as part of the largest build-up of Western troops since the Cold War, the country seem undeterred and growing in influence.

The world is witnessing a new order. A new generation created by Vladimir Putin.

The uncanny Russian leader has shown with patience and hard work, your desire definitely can reach your grip.

No sane man will turn his partner to punching bag. What I am saying is if you can't condone your partner wahala again is should be next

If you get married and your wife start misbehaving, the best thing is talk to her and if she ain't changing my brother it's divorce and not turning her to punching bag. Beating is damn wrong and no sensible man would engage in it.

Immaturity

Today marked a great day in the history of Nigeria. My dear country today Nigeria achieved a Milestone, today Nigeria became part of the world finest and also joined the league of working and great countries.

Today, Nigerians smile, laughed and basked over the feats attained by the country. No be small thing ooooo, Nigeria is getting there, she's on track.

No I am not talking about breakthrough in medicine or having a working blueprint that will reverse the moribund state of our educational system is; I am talking about The Day Nigeria legalise corruption, talking about the Day Corruption Gathered To Launch anti-corruption book written by a known clown, Ogbeni Senator Mr Dino Melaye’s in Abuja With Dame Patience Jonathan And Mr, Alhaji, Kwara Kingpin Bukola Saraki As Special Guests.

10hrs

The cloth seriously fit them

We are currently not serious. Though not that we had ever been a sane continent to think of it.

Now Asia giant, China in the 20th century with many African independent countries were at the same level in terms of economic, science, social and technological developments, but today, it is a different story, and while China, a non-religious country, is the world largest economy nation, producing consumable and non-consumable products for the world, her friend, Africa has remained in comatose and, far worst than it was when under colonial administration.

Their consensus of barbarism, kleptocracy and knack for backwardism and celebration of mediocrities, shows a continent still living in the dark ages, preferring to share space with nonentities and corrupt personified individuals that have held the continent on the jugular for it personal gain, so that development will always be a mirage to it burgeoning populace.

While the real human beings celebrate breakthrough in science and every facets of life, Africa has decided to remain with an unexisting deity that made it more foolish and useless, also blaming colonial masters and it forefathers for it repugnant state.

​Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi profligacy and lavish lifestyle and the said his detachment from reality on what is obtainable from streets of northern Nigeria, shouldn’t be of concern to us for now.

Those critics and Social Media wailers against Sanusi, also are guilty of the same thing they are accusing him of.

Anyone who genuinely rises up against the status quo in the North, tabling our support should be the next.
Who among them seem not to be detached from what is happening on ground in the north? how many have been able to work towards ridden the north of the cankerworm that has remained for years and eaten deep into the Social and political life of the Northerners?

How many had work towards championing the fight against women maltreatment, child abuse and fight for equity in all sphere of life in the north? How many had been able to help or fight for the right of those young girls, forced into early marriages by their patriarch.

How many stood up against, paedophile Sani Yerima when he married a 13 year old girl, or Abubakar Yari, when he made an outlandish and stupid statement that the Muslim God brought Meningitis due to widespread of fornication by the inhabitants in his state.

The truth is, it is the region that has been dragging Nigeria backward in terms of achieving it goals, it's the north with their archaic and primitive ways of life, that has made Nigeria motionless.

Sanusi may be a despicable and a repugnant opportunist, but now ain’t the time to reflect on who Sanusi is, but how we all can help in getting north Nigeria out of their detestable and 13 century lifestyle.
If there are allegations, then accusers and the media men with evidence can forwards what they to the EFCC or the Police for investigation in the said gross misappropriation of funds on his part.

The man has the mantle and got the alibi, and working with him for now is the only way we can reform the North, thereby bringing the region to 21 century civilization.

​People seem to think China is uninterested in what is happening in the Korea Peninsula, they tend to think China not taking a forceful stance against North Korea, over it continue manufacturing of nuclear weapons and testing of ballistic missile shows they will support any form of aggression against fat Kim.

You see, China, has a lot to lose if a war is to break out.
Which is why I tend to be believe that Nothing is going to happen. Nobody is nuking anyone.

China, maybe doing it openly or not, will not allow North Korea to be attacked, knowing fully well the US will defeat Kim Jong-Un, if an all out war is to break out.
The Chinese are not stupid they know the defeat of North Korea means unification and unification of North and South Korea is definitely going to be a problem for those guys in Beijing.

Then we will have a strong Korea, a strong Korea that will be subservient to the US.

An article published by RT, on the 10 of December 2016, 5 mind-boggling things about 'The Coming War on China': Pilger's documentary airs on RTD shows American forces, situating themselves in countries bordering China.

The Pilger’s documentary states, “American bases form a giant noose encircling China with missiles, bombers, warships all the way from Australia through the Pacific to Asia and beyond". Asia and beyond ," Pilger’s documentary states. As one of the film’s contributors, author of ' The China Mirage ' book, James Bradley put it, " if you were in Beijing and stood on the tallest building and looked out at the Pacific Ocean, you would see American warships, you would see Guam is about to sink because there are so many missiles pointed at China ."

US defeat of North Korea, means having another hostile neighbour, who is going to be kowtowing to your enemy and having missiles facing China from the North Korea, now Republic of Korea Chinese border.

It is enough trying to deal with the Japanese and the Philippines.

The defeat, will be another headache for China; which will automatically turn to China almost completely surrounded by the Yankees and their weapons.

Deterring North Korea, should be with sanctions, as that seem to have worked well rather than using war in persuading it to forgo it love for WMD.

God punish devil. If I no see this kind of love, I go remain single.

I think the lady exaggerated some of the issues in their family. Just my thoughts sha as from what I can deduce from both of them explanation.
