Is Ajami our Lingua Franca? Stop writing in the rubbish. Until it is adopted as one of the major scripts or languages, remove it from the naira.

She didn't build a house; she built a well-built house and tastefully furnished. That man or woman that is waiting for your graduation from the university before you start shouldering responsibilities, let the fire of the Holy Spirit wake you up now! Fire! Fire! Fire! Laziness and ignorance, die! die! die!

I camped in Potiskum and served in Fika two batches before you. That you liked what that place was is putting off. And that I sense the excitement in you as typed this is inconceivable. Tufia. Given, there are nice persons everyone you go all over the globe and in every tribe but after putting together all factors that a modern human needs in order not to live a subhuman life, the place is as hostile as hell.
Righteousness89:
Remember Service back then in Fika yobe State. 2006 Batch B.

When we got our call up letter, YB/064/20....
My guy was screaming YABA LAGOS!!
Not knowing YB was Yobe!!

First batch to make use of the Fika Camp in Yobe!
Then Bukar Abba was Governor!

It's From Yobe and Maiduguiri that Flies are Posted to other Part of the Nation...

Yobe then was cool! You could sleep with your doors wide open. New Jerusalem was my abode in Damaturu.

The Average is a very Nice person. The Moment you can speak a little of their language , they are so happy!
My only with them was the Religion issue. A religious fight in town will affect you in the village..

Borno camp this year is at Baba Ruga, kastina state.

I still remember how I felt when I printed my call-up letter and saw Borno.
It was like the ground should open and swallow me, but later against the wish of my parents I went.
The weather was hot that March when I came,we had corpers lodge, medical corpers are celebrities in Borno o. Their accommodation is top notch.
Then we were paid 10,000 naira state allwaee,now it's 5,000 With consistency.
The weather is extremely cold during cold season like now.
Corpers are not posted outside maiduguri city except on request. Why would you even request that.

PoliticsRe: #EndSARS: 50 Persons Killed In Oyigbo, 80 Injured – Intersociety by Sunsets: 3:08pm On Nov 07, 2020
I do not think this is hate on Ndigbo. It is the barefaced stupidity of a foolish governor. He is one of the casualties of Peter Odili's government. From Odili to Wike, what have they done for Oyigbo? After Port Harcourt, another commercial hub in Rivers State is Oyigbo. Every ethnic group lives in Oyigbo but dilapidation doesn't discriminate. Residents of Oyigbo are all pure suffer heads. No electricity, no tangible state presence...why? These were some of the reasons why residents of Oyigbo wrongfully took laws into their hands, burning police stations and killing service men. But Oyigbo wasn't the only place where service men were killed. He comfortable tagged it IPOB. It happened in Lagos and other places. Why was Oyigbo singled out to be brutalised? Everybody knows what cowardly Nigerian soldiers do once they are deployed to retrieve arms. The innocent, surely, will pay for it. Remember Odi, Zaki Biam... Wike must be stupid not to know this. Whatever that happened in Oyigbo as a fallout of Wikes invitation, is on his head. I wish Nigerians can push this to ICC. Do not support evil; one day it might be your turn.
Pierocash:
Nothing may happen to wike because he is powerful before innocent Oyigbo people.

But one thing is certain, karma has no respect for position no matter how highly placed you think you are.

[s]Wike rode on the wings of the Igbo race to achieve his ambition, but suddenly realised how inconsequential their lives are to him. They hated Amaechi because of wike, they backed him to succeed just to spite Amaechi, even though we warned them that Wike is evil[/s]

IslamRe: Insulting The Prophet: Freedom Of Expression Is Freedom FROM Insult, NOT To! by Sunsets:
First, I do not believe in this Religion.

Second, you spent more than five paragraphs demonizing 'unchecked' freedom of speech but paid little or no attention to taking laws into our hands, condemnation of the cruel decapitation, premeditated murder and....

Third, you and your likes are cancerous to humanity.

Finally, May pieces be upon you and whomever you follow or that follows you in this murderous venture.
Lukgaf:
Freedom of expression is freedom FROM insult, NOT freedom TO insult!


Each faith community feels a deep-rooted emotional attachment to the symbols and personalities it reveres. Muslims are no different.

The value system of Islam is underpinned by respect and reverence – reverence for the Almighty, for all the Messengers of the Almighty – including the Prophets Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all), the angels, the holy scriptures, the holy cities, religious symbols and places of worship, and respect for elders, teachers, leaders, religious scholars, parents, the elderly etc.

Depicting images of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is strictly forbidden in Islam. The rationale for the prohibition, inter alia, of depicting the Prophet (peace be upon him) is that he was too sublime to be truly portrayed. Furthermore, attempts at portraying him could result in his image being distorted. There are therefore no records of any authentic image or portrait of him anywhere in the world, from any period of Islamic history, which is a significant point of note.

Any attempt to depict the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in illustration is an attempt to depict the sacrosanct, which is not allowed. The nature of cartoons is to satirise and trivialise. This is clearly not acceptable in the case of a personality who is held in the highest esteem by almost 2 billion people globally.

Irrespective of what the motive is for the repeated publishing and displaying of these blasphemous cartoons – whether for cheap publicity, political gains, deliberate provocation, or due to sheer ignorance – it is grossly offensive and highly insensitive and will always be rejected by all people of morality with the contempt it deserves!

Muslims accept the principle of constructive freedom of expression, but not the freedom to wantonly insult, which is sometimes deviously and deceptively masqueraded as freedom of expression. True freedom of expression is freedom FROM insult, not freedom TO insult! Freedom to insult has ultimately resulted in hatred, bigotry and even destruction. Humour that is disrespectful, insensitive and offensive, is not humour, but is in fact hubris.

But when Muslims object, the stock response is that they do not appreciate freedom of expression. The media and others view this as an infringement of the right of freedom of speech. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is that no right is absolute; there are inherent limitations. Every right is counterbalanced against other rights. Every right has to be exercised with utmost responsibility.
The blatant hypocrisy of certain leaders in the application of freedom of speech is glaringly visible for the world to see! Whilst they harp on the promotion of freedom of speech, they are intolerant of any criticism of themselves or things that are dear to them. So much for freedom of speech!

Muslim leaders and masses would be justifiably outraged and enraged by this act of profanity. This could even precipitate protests and boycotts. The worldwide anger and outpouring of objections has made it amply clear that Muslims will never accept disrespect to the Prophet (peace be upon him) or whatever else is deemed sacred to them. Despite this open provocation, Muslims are urged to follow the noble example of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) in the kind, tolerant and forgiving manner he dealt with his enemies and continued to invite them to the Path of Guidance.

CrimeTwo Beheaded As Three People Die In 'terrorist' Knife Attack During Morning Mass by Sunsets(op): 12:06pm On Oct 29, 2020
This happened in the city of Nice in a Catholic church. A church warden, another woman and another woman according to an eyewitness account. People are still numb and digesting what just happened. It is believed to be in response to the Prophet Mohammed's cartoon used by a teacher. The attacker repeatedly shouted Allah is great in Arabic. Every right thinking individual should condemn these attacks. The words are, 'right thinking'.

Beyond your diatribe, our opinions converge at national policy and alliance. The strength of the alliance is weak enough to withdraw support for NOI
Coronabirus:
Your assertion is completely wrong including the analysts unprojected judgement on the issue. Nigeria is the strongest ally of US in Africa and the trade between Nigeria and US has rose above any other time in the recent decades. Forget abt China mobile phones and petty trade Nigerian do with China, agriculture, spare parts of industries and heavy duty machines and weapons Nigeria buy from US make greater difference. US is just looking for someone who will depend their interest amidst difficult trade battle with China.
The confused gullible dullard Trump who is always supported here by his fellow dullards has shown his real face. The hater of intelligence, racist who isn't even aware of his mission to destroy his country's foreign diplomacy. He has done it with WHO which is headed by African, Ethiopian & perhaps he'll fail again with WTO.
I think she'll win because Trump lost EU support as he's already in disagreement with them in many policies. Recently, Macron asked EU to stop relying on US for weapons.
