PoliticsRe: Not Easy To Get Evidence To Probe Diezani - Buhari by SirBrightoc(m):
If you praise this government for condemning people in the media before gathering their facts and evidence, may such also be your portion.

One day, you will be accused, condemned and sentenced without giving you the opportunity to defend yourself.

Whatever measure you use on others, someone someday will use same on you. Amen

This government uses lies to paint people bad before investigation.
Why not find your facts before going to the media to paint them evil?
How do you want us now to believe that you ever had a good motive for your actions?
One day the truth will come out.

For those who really want heads to roll. it may be your turn one day and they will never give you a fair hearing.

It is simply politics that is at the centre of Iran and Saudi struggle. There is no sect know as wahabism in Islam, it is a derogatory term used to slant a more conservative form of salafist. But I digress, Saudi and Iran are simply in a struggle for supremacy, unfortunately Arabs and Persians have a long history of I better pass you behavior, this struggle unfortunately has been represented into a religious struggle because the media by its nature enjoys creating dichotomy to simplify issues but to so stupidly reduce the whole issue as to a sectarian problem only shows how willfully ignorant the NY times which call a group of armed men currently occupying a govt. building in Oregon activist. Even Saddam Hussien was supported by Shias during his reign it was only after the foolish moro.n bush occupied Iran did alqaeda the cult of evil entered. Saudi in the 70s supported shias in Yemen against sunnis, so these states care more for interest rather than sect at the end of the day.

How Do Sunni and Shia Islam Differ?
Sunnis and Shiites praying together on Sunday in Beirut, Lebanon, in protest of the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
HASSAN AMMAR / ASSOCIATED PRESS
By JOHN HARNEY
JANUARY 3, 2016
Saudi Arabia ’s execution of the Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr could escalate tensions in the Muslim world even further. In the Shiite theocracy Iran, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia, which is ruled by a Sunni monarchy, would face “divine vengeance” for the killing of the outspoken cleric, which was part of a mass execution of 47 men. Sheikh Nimr had advocated for greater political rights for Shiites in Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries. Saudi Arabia had accused him of inciting violence against the state.
Here is a primer on the basic differences between Sunni and Shia Islam.
What caused the split?
A schism emerged after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, and disputes arose over who should shepherd the new and rapidly growing faith.
Some believed that a new leader should be chosen by consensus; others thought that only the prophet’s descendants should become caliph. The title passed to a trusted aide, Abu Bakr, though some thought it should have gone to Ali, the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law. Ali eventually did become caliph after Abu Bakr’s two successors were assassinated.
After Ali also was assassinated, with a poison-laced sword at the mosque in Kufa, in what is now
Iraq, his sons Hasan and then Hussein claimed the title. But Hussein and many of his relatives were massacred in Karbala, Iraq, in 680. His martyrdom became a central tenet to those who believed that Ali should have succeeded the prophet. (It is mourned every year during the month of Muharram.) The followers became known as Shiites, a contraction of the phrase Shiat Ali, or followers of Ali.
The Sunnis, however, regard the first three caliphs before Ali as rightly guided and themselves as the true adherents to the Sunnah, or the prophet’s tradition. Sunni rulers embarked on sweeping conquests that extended the caliphate into North Africa and Europe. The last caliphate ended with the fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
How do their beliefs differ?
The Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam encompass a wide spectrum of doctrine, opinion and schools of thought. The branches are in agreement on many aspects of Islam, but there are considerable disagreements within each. Both branches include worshipers who run the gamut from secular to fundamentalist. Shiites consider Ali and the leaders who came after him as imams. Most believe in a line of 12 imams, the last of whom, a boy, is believed to have vanished in the ninth century in Iraq after his father was murdered. Shiites known as Twelvers anticipate his return as the Mahdi, or Messiah. Because of the different paths the two sects took, Sunnis emphasize God’s power in the material world, sometimes including the public and political realm, while Shiites value in martyrdom and sacrifice.
Which sect is larger, and where is each concentrated?
More than 85 percent of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims are Sunni. They live across the Arab world, as well as in countries like Turkey, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. Iran, Iraq and Bahrain are largely Shiite. The Saudi royal family, which practices an austere and conservative strand of Sunni Islam known as Wahhabism, controls Islam’s holiest shrines, Mecca and Medina. Karbala, Kufa and Najaf in Iraq are revered shrines for the Shiites.
Saudi Arabia and Iran, the dominant Sunni and Shiite powers in the Middle East, often take opposing sides in regional conflicts. In Yemen, Shiite rebels from the north, the Houthis, overthrew a Sunni-dominated government, leading to an invasion by a Saudi-led coalition. In Syria, which has a Sunni majority, the Alawite Shiite sect of President Bashar al-Assad , which has long dominated the government, clings to power amid a bloody civil war. And in Iraq, bitter resentments between the Shiite-led government and Sunni communities have contributed to victories by the Islamic State.

EducationRe: MATHS WORLD: Solve For X And Y by SirBrightoc(m): 4:57pm On Nov 04, 2015
Gbengem:
The answer would be x= 2 and y = 2/3 Iff the question says 2x - 3y = 2 , 4x - 6y = 4. Else the system is inconsistence cos d rank of the matrix formed from d homogeneous part of the equation doesn't equal to d rank of the argumented matrix formed from the non-homogeneous part of the equation (rank of d matrix = 1 while d rank of d argumented matrix = 2)
Beloved, your first position is faulty as the equation 2x - 3y = 2 is also the same thing as 4x - 6y = 4 (obtained by multiplying the first equation by 2). Hence, the equation(s) has/have no unique solution.
Further observe that x = 1 and y = 0 will be another solution to the equation(s), even as there are uncountably many other possible solutions including (3, 4/3), (4, 2), (5, 8/3) etc. Note that all points on the line 2x - 3y = 2 will be the set of solutions.
EducationRe: MATHS WORLD: Solve For X And Y by SirBrightoc(m): 4:23pm On Nov 04, 2015
chaloner:
if what I have is inconsistent equation then , what will be its solution set? And of what form will the graph look like?
A system of equations is said to be inconsistent if the graphs can never meet and the equations contradict each other. Like in this case, 4x-6y can not be equal to 4 and at the same time equal to 5. Hence the equations have no solution.
Let me refer you to some websites to study more.

www.purplemath.com/modules/systlin2.htm

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

If we graph the two equations in this case, we will have two parallel lines. Observe that their slopes are equal if you write the equations in the form y + mx = c.

Quote me if you need additional explanation.

chaloner:
What is the value of x and y.
2x - 3y = 2
,, 4x - 6y = 5

................................................................
Trinity academy
The system is inconsistent.
If you multiply equation (1) by 2, you will get
4x - 6y = 4.
Comparing this with equation (2), the LHS of both equations are the same while their RHS are different. Hence they are inconsistent.

I'm saying that if the money hadn't been taken prior to this new administration we wouldn't be wanting for money. The amounts that have been reported to have been looted would be enough to fund multiple budgets. Oil was at $150+ at one point and yet we have nothing to show for it? Where did the money go? Still no roads? Still no water? Still no electricity? This can't be correct.

People can get mad if they want but GEJ set everything back by not giving handover notes and postponing the election by 6 weeks. By those actions we have been knocked off by atleast 10 weeks. Imagine if we were at this stage in July. Instead we find ourselves here in October. I won't crown this new regime yet but I will most certainly give them my vote of confidence to make our home perfect. I gave GEJ a chance now I will give PMB a chance.

I'm not speaking on anything that I can't confirm through news clippings and empirical evidence. Kachikwu has stated that a new audit must be done to fully understand what has gone awry. A decade plus of mismanagement is quite a task to handle. Slow and steady wins the race. Measure thrice cut once.
Why will you join in promoting lies? You claim GEJ did not give a handover note, just less than 5 months from when it was all over the news that he did. Please see links below
