Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Arabic: إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ‎‎) is a part of a verse from the Qur'an which translates to "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return."

I don't belong to Allah.

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 139:
Narrated 'Abbas bin Tamim:

My uncle asked Allah's Apostle about a person who imagined to have farted during the prayer. Allah's Apostle replied: "He should not leave his prayers unless he hears a sound or smells something."

oga Nigeria has issues..follow the story well,you will know they are both at fault... That said we don't need any distraction..let's UA qualify from our group..enyeama should enjoy his retirement

But how can we qualify if we don't have a world class goalkeeper? If you've seen our Central Defenders, you'll know that we were lucky to escape with a win against Zambia. Cameroon are African Champions, they are times two x2 of Zambia. If we don't have a good defence and a god goalkeeper when we face them we're going to chop pepper in Yaounde.

And all these local goalkeepers in the NPFL are nothing to write home about, I'm sorry to say.

you don't trust oliseh but trust enyeama..issorite

Enyeama was in the Super Eagles for 12 good years and there was NEVER any incident of indiscipline against him. Oliseh was there for just 3 months and it was during that time that Nigeria failed to qualify for the Nations Cup and he fell out with Enyeama, then going on to rant on twitter and youtube about how bad Nigeria is. If Nigeria were that bad, why did he agree to take the job in the first place? I would rather believe Enyeama than Oliseh.

"This society is not a very friendly place," says Dr Ekpein Appah, a camp co-ordinator at the Kano Reformatory Institute in Kiru, Nigeria. "This place can be like a jungle. You have to fight to survive and that fight for survival is what is driving young people to drugs."

Thirty-seven percent of the population in Kano State, an area in northwest Nigeria, are drug abusers according to official figures from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). This is the highest figure nationwide. Nigeria's second largest city also has the highest number of people arrested for illicit drug trafficking or drug use. On September 9, a drug rehabilitation centre was opened in Kano for drug addicts.

"

The Kano state government realised the idea of arresting drug abusers and sending them to jail doesn't work. They just get stuck in a cycle and come back to harm society when they are released. Why not reform them?” says Appah.

"The drug abusers are brought into the institute for 60 days where they undergo three major components of our training programme: Medicals, which comprise of screening and detoxification, counselling and finally skills acquisition. There is no work, schools and universities are closed or over crowded. These are all children minus a few. Something is wrong somewhere".

Historically, Kano State was a very different place to what is today. Nigeria's ancient kingdom was once the greatest commercial power in West Africa and a bustling trade centre. Its leather and cotton goods were widely transported across the Sahara to North Africa and Europe and for centuries merchants from neighbouring African countries and beyond traded in gold, ivory and salt. In recent times, Kano was the second largest industrial centre in Nigeria and the largest in Northern Nigeria.

Then Boko Haram entered the scene. After the introduction of Sharia in the year 2000 many non-Muslims and traders left the city. Then on January 21, 2012, Kano witnessed one of the worst attacks of terrorism in Nigeria's history: One hundred seventy-eight people were killed in a series of coordinated bomb blasts and shooting sprees. The streets are now quiet in Kano. Nigeria's vast metropolis which once boasted wide paved highways bustling with cars, buses and businessmen is now deserted.

Dusty alleyways filled with kids smoking Indian hemp are common. In the years since the insecurity began, residents have seen a dramatic change to their surroundings. Now children are out of school and unemployment is high.

Drug Use and Unemployment

"The reason why we are using drugs is to enjoy our lives", says Abdullahi, 28, staring out from behind the chipped blue metal bars of a holding cell in the NDLEA headquarters. The stench of human faeces, sweat and urine fills the air. Dozens of young men, both addicts and sellers, are locked away in a cramped windowless black hole while they await trial. The stone walls that keep them enclosed are covered in Hausa and Arabic graffiti, the prisoners make their mark by scratching their names and prayers with broken rocks.

Abdullahi, like most of the young men here, was a petty drug user. He told Al Jazeera, "I have been smoking cannabis for 6 years. When I took it, I used to feel free. I used to feel happy in my mind. The reason why I started smoking is because I wasn't employed. I had nothing to do. I was just moving around my area with friends. Some of us were selling petroleum to try and make some money but the police would stop us. We are the sons of poor people here. Our parents don't have enough money to pay for us to go to school or take us to market where they will teach us how to trade. There are drug sellers everywhere in the city. So many people are using drugs. Old guys, young boys. They are all using it because there is nothing to do here. So we thought it must be good. That is why we started”.

The NDLEA in Kano state have the most difficult region to monitor in all Nigeria, according to the state commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Amadu Garba, told Al Jazeera, "The problem of drug abuse is a very serious one in Kano. Statistics show nationwide that Kano has a significantly higher number of people arrested than in any other part of the country. The number of people convicted is higher compared to the rest of the country and we have a high rate of seizures made by the command. This attests to the fact we have a serious drug problem in this state."


Official figures from the NDLEA show they made 700 arrests last year. Most of the arrests were made in relation to cannabis. Three tonnes of marijuana were taken off the streets of Kano this year, down from 4 tonnes last year. But other drugs such as cocaine, heroin and psychotropics are also found in raids. 3000kg of drugs were confiscated during busts and a conviction can land sellers with a 25 year to life prison sentence.

"Some of the greatest challenges we have here are that of personnel and logistics, but we have teamed up with the Nigerian police, the department of state security, customs, immigration and Hisbah to fight drug abuse and trafficking in Kano. So far it has been good because we have been able to dislodge some of the most notorious joints in Kano. The places that used to be hideouts or serious dens are no longer there. They haven't disappeared completely. We're still carrying out raids but we're making it difficult for sellers," Garba said.
The reform centre in Kiru has helped ease the strain on the NDLEA resources according to Garba.

"Users are taken to Kiru for a comprehensive counselling and rehabilitation process that will seriously reduce the problem for the NDLEA. There is a holistic approach to the drug problem more than ever before and I am hopeful this will bring it down”.
Whether the reform centre will have any real impact on the drug problem in Kano is too early to be seen, but it is a start at least and perhaps a model for what should and can be done.

Abdul, 19, who has recently graduated from the reform centre says, "If my parents hadn't brought me here I don't know what would have happened to me. I probably would have lost my mind or been dead. I was taking marijuana, codeine syrup, pills and solvents to calm myself down. I didn't feel like there was a future for me. Many young people are taking drugs here because of unemployment, poverty and the insecurity. We want to forget what is going on around us."

When Abdul was asked what he would do now that he had graduated, he shrugged. "As of now I'm not doing anything. I'm still unemployed".
For residents of Kano, drugs are not the biggest problem they have to contend with. Unemployment, insecurity and poverty remain the root causes of drug abuse. Until these problems can be resolved, for many in Kano the hope of finding a job and a better future remains a distant one.

It is unfortunate that Nigeria will be in position that we require Enyeama again. Enyeama is the best goal keeper we have at the moment. However, Enyeama as a person will cause more harm in the National Team than any good he may contribute. This is a player who lied against his coach. Lying he was beaten and stripped naked. Team unity is more important than any single player. Has a apologised for the lies? He should never be invited again. Simple

Don't forget that we only have Sunday Oliseh's word that Enyeama was lying. I don't trust Sunday Oliseh. The man's ego is so big that he is not beyond making up tales by moonlight to demonise Enyeama.

Our new number one after Enyeama retired, Karl Ikeme, is out for the rest of the season with a serious injury. He won't be available for the World Cup Quaifier against Cameroon. So unless this man has anyone of world class standard other than Enyeama to take Ikeme's place, he should just shut up and let Rohr do his job.

It seems everywhere I look, I see outstanding examples of utter stupidity confronting me:

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 217:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, "These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other used to go about with calumnies(to make enmity between friends)."



HOW THE FVCK DOES SOMEONE GET TORTURED IN HELL FOR URINATING ON HIMSELF?

"Arab?" This black monkey calls himself an "Arab?". SMH. It seems the kolomentality which Black muslims have towards Arabs is too strong to be overcome by commonsense. Meanwhile if this nigga showed up in North Africa his fellow "Arabs" would sell him on the slave market like they are doing to thousands of his fellow "black Arabs" from Senegal, Mali, Guinea etc.

Will I ever be able to do this with my own maami?

Anyone who knows me from the short time I've been on NL knows that I am the last person you would call a Buhari fan because I believe him to be myopic as well as tribally and religiously bigoted. But when I read stories like this, I actually feel tempted to soften my hardline stance on the man. I have never in my life wished death on anyone and I have no intention of beginning with President Buhari. My only prayer for him is that he either voluntarily resigns from office for gross incompetence or he is soundly defeated come 2019.

Charge and bail lawyer we are not talking of your wacky law knowledge.
Russia disregards the European Human Rights Courts like a waste tissue.
Next time before calling people fool take stuff your brain with current knowledge of things not all those wacky legalities that turned you into a charge and bail lawyer.
Rubbish.

Russia’s Constitutional Court today (14 July) ruled its national laws should take precedence over decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.
Rights lawyers warned the new ruling essentially gives Russia the right to ignore the judgements of the Strasbourg-based court if they do not suit it.
Legal experts also said the ruling could provide Russia with a pretext not to implement a 2014 decision by the court to award shareholders of the now-defunct oil company Yukos €1.9 billion euros in compensation.
The Russian court ruled its Constitution trumps the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which upholds the European Convention on Human Rights.
“Russia’s participation in the international agreement does not signify rejection of state sovereignty,” said the ruling by the chairman of the Constitutional Court, Valery Zorkin.
“The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the ECHR’s legal positions based on it cannot annul the precedence of the Constitution.”
If any decision of Europe’s top human rights court is found to be in violation of Russian law, Moscow should not follow that ruling “to the letter,” it said.
Zorkin argued the decision was in line with the practice of top courts of European Union members such as Germany, Italy, Austria and Britain.
The ruling came after lawmakers queried whether Russia needs to comply with all the decisions of the Strasbourg-based court.
Russian officials have long argued that the current practice of giving precedence to international law over Russian law is against the country’s interests.
President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the ruling was final.
“This is a decision that cannot be appealed, as far as I understand,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Russia joined the Council of Europe in 1996.
Since then the European Court has been flooded with cases from Russia, with rights advocates accusing the country of violating human rights and breaching the European Convention.
The ruling comes amid Russia’s increasing isolation from the West and confrontation with Washington and Brussels which have imposed sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.
“Before, it was assumed that judgements by the ECHR should be implemented, and as regards compensations, they were implemented,” Sergei Pashin, a member of the Kremlin’s rights council and a former judge, told AFP.
“Of course, this is dangerous. We can end up in a rather awkward situation if we retreat from our international obligations.”
BACKGROUND
The European Convention on Human Rights came into effect in 1953.
In the aftermath of the Second World War it sought to set standards on human decency.
The convention established the European Court of Human Rights to which citizens could appeal if they felt their rights had been infringed.
The accession of new states to the European Convention on Human Rights following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 led to a sharp increase in applications filed in the Court.

Actually you're the one who is out of order my dear idiotic wannabe intellectual. The decision you referred to only affects human rights issues as they touch on Russia's national security and it was taken when the ECHR declared it to be a violation of human rights law for Russia's Security services to spy on Russian citizens who were living in EU countries.

Other areas of human rights law are NOT affected.

Next time try and put those handful of brain cells in your near empty head to good use or you'll graduate with a low GPA. If you're the kind of product that OAU is producing these days then I fear for the future of your Law Faculty. Maybe I should bring it to the attention of the Council for legal Education.

European court of appeal ko Arabian court of appeal ni.
You think Russia is subject to European law?
Are you a learner

Are you a fool? I studied law so I know my onions. Human Rights Watch has even published the news on their website that the Jehovah's Witnesses will be appealing to the European Human Rights Court.
