Hajj is a private matter, why are we funding it? In a nation where we cannot afford that same 100 Saudi Riyals as minimum wage?

DeepSight:
Why did you omit West Bank from this list of yours?

The West Bank is not the original name of the land... it is Judea/Samaria... read UN resolution 181. You people are blind bats, discussing a topic you know zero about.

The term "jew" comes from the word "judea". Go figure.

DeepSight:
Gaza is an open air prison where Israel does not permit even cookies for kids to be brought in.

This is provably false.

1. Gaza has a GDP far higher than that of most African countries. It's "economy" is far better than that of Nigeria.
2. Egypt has a fortified border with Gaza, but strangely is never accused of making Gaza an open air prison.
3. Hamas is somehow able to bring in thousands of Iranian missiles, rockets, drones... who is the incompetent keeper of this "open air prison"

DeepSight:
The place is restricted, under a firm stranglehold. Access to power, water, import, export and free movement are all controlled and determined by the occupying power, Israel. In the West Bank, illegal European settlements continue to expand.

Again false. All you've done is regurgitate buzzwords and talking points.

1. West Bank is an illegitimate name for "Judea and Samaria" given to that land by Jordan after it illegally annexed it in 1948. No maps of the Levant pre-1948 have the name "west bank". UN resolution 181 of 1947 refers to that land by its historical name of over 2000 years - Judea/Samaria.

2. The controls placed on movement in the "west bank" is a response to the intifadas from the 1990s... google it and the thousands of Israelis who were killed by incessant suicide bombs.

DeepSight:
The Palestinians there do not have the right of free movement and like black South Africans in apartheid South Africa, they have to show passes and permits to have access to certain areas

More than 30,000 Gazans had free access to work in Isreal until Oct 7, 2023... your guess is as good as mine.

DeepSight:
many of them cannot access proper hospitals because of this.

Gaza has over 30 hospitals, all far superior to anything Nigeria has.

DeepSight:
They are routinely removed from their ancestral homes which are given to European settlers forcefully.

You've once again lied.

1. How are Arabs ancestral to Judea and Samaria? Jesus, a jew, was born in Bethlehem... Emperor Hadrian gave the name Syria Palaestina to Judea after crushing the Jewish bar kochba revolt (Israel was a colony of Rome at that time - this is fully documented in the bible and other historical works like Josephus) in AD 132... where were these arabs?

2. To call Jews "European settlers" is despicable. Many jews are Mizrahis... google that.

3. The first leader of the Palestinian Authority was Yassar Arafat in 1964... google where he was born.

4. One of the most famous family names in Gaza is "Al Masri"... google the meaning.

In other words, you have regurgitated the same idiocy i read on X all day... half baked buzzwords.

DeepSight:
They do not have the right of a sovereign state at the insistence of Israel and the US in particular.

They've always had that right... they prioritized destroying the jews instead. Here is some history lesson for you - 75% of the British mandate of Palestine is .... JORDAN! It is 97% Palestinian.

Yet. the US still split the other 25% into 2, the Jews accepted their part, and the Arabs REFUSED. Please explain why Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon attacked Israel in 1948. Where they Palestinians too? Nah, it was Islamic Jihad, never about land.

DeepSight:
If all this (and much more), is not apartheid, what is? Both Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu, men who fought apartheid, said they recognise what is going on in Palestine as apartheid, and this is why Mandela said we will never be free until Palestine is also free.

Read up the appeal to authority fallacy... that's what you committed here. The truth is irrelevant because Desmond Tutu said something.

20% of Israel are arabs, who have supreme court justices and their own political party. How many Jews are in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza or Jordan? Amazing how we deny such glaring apartheid, only to bellyache about Israel.

DeepSight:
That you mention Jesus shows where you are coming from. Probably you are one of those who support Israel for sentimental religious reasons, even though Israel does not recognise Jesus and does not give a hoot about Christianity .

Israel does not recognize Jesus as Lord, but they recognize him as an important historical figure. That you dismiss his relevance to this issue shows where you are coming from too. If Bethlehem is the ancestral home of arabs... when did that change? After jesus was born of before?

DeepSight:
No one comes back to a land after 2000 years to claim it as his because his ancestors once live there. Land law doesnt work that way anywhere in the world.

Land law also does not permit recent migrants to claim that a land that someone else has always lived on is their "ancestral homeland".

DeepSight:
Twoods, long time since our last collission. How are you. I trust well.
I am not Muslim, and I dont think you can so easily discountenance the Israeli lobby in the states.

PS: North Korea, Iran and Turkey also export weapons to the likes of Russia and others.

Long time no see oga.

Most countries have lobbies in the States. Israel is not special in that regard. What is clear though is that a majority of Americans see through what is essentially an Islamic jihad against the Jews. This is the ONLY CONFLICT that unites ALL MUSLIMS the world over... that reason isn't land (Israel is a tiny nation that would comfortably fit inside Nigeria). Muslims are not upset when Muslims are killed in Yemen, Sudan, Syria, and Iran. Muslims weren't upset when Jordan expelled Hamas in 1999. Muslims didn't care when Egypt proscribed Hamas and built a wall to keep Palestinians out of their country. Muslims turned a blind eye when Syria's Assad slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 2018. Muslims only care when Israel is involved...

DeepSight:
Why do you support apartheid and when will you people wake up to understand that the west has a long history of tagging resistance movements terrorists? They do violent acts to oppress others, but when others resist with violence its terrorism. And you lot buy it. This is the way in which they tagged Nelson Mandela a terrorist.

Wake up!

Wake up to what exactly? Please define apartheid. 2m Arabs live with full rights in Israel (21% of the population), and there are zero Jews in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.

What are Arabs like Hamas "resisting"? The right of Jews to live in what has historically been their homeland? Judea (where the term "Jew" comes from), Samaria, Bethlehem (where Jesus, a Jew, was born)?

DeepSight:
No one needs Israel. It simply has a powwerful lobby in Washington. Its politics and money, thats all.

This is myopic. Israel is a nuclear power and outside the US, has the world's most sophisticated missile defense system (the US system started from the first Israeli system). It builds weapons that are used by the US and British army. Only Muslims say such nonsense... because their religion depends on it.

seunmsg:
French President, Emmanuel Macron has called for an immediate end of Isreal’s operation in Rafah. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his outrage over Israeli strikes that have killed so many people and rendered many more homeless.

“Outraged by the Israeli strikes that have killed many displaced persons in Rafah.
These operations must stop. There are no safe areas in Rafah for Palestinian civilians.
I call for full respect for international law and an immediate ceasefire.”

Emanuel Macron views France as the equivalent of the United States I guess... too bad.

The payment plan is terrible, I am in the same predicament as we speak, I am looking for a way out, my portal is blocked, I can’t submit my assignments

- The payment plan isn't terrible. Other students can meet it just fine.
- This predicament is of your own making, you didn't do due diligence to make sure you could afford your education.

esamade:
That you had full funds to pursue your education doesn’t mean others have that same power. The OP isn’t lazy and has been fulfilling his part of the deal - a deal initiated by the university - so what’s the fuss about?

False, I did an in-depth look and post about this. The school's "deal" is deposit first and final installment within 90 days. Students like the OP were taking advantage of the school not enforcing this rule, allowing them to stretch payments up to 180 days. The school is simply tired of students not following simple rules and has decided to be strict about it.

Goodafternoon everyone.
Please I’m in desperate need of help and ideas right now.
I applied for spousal sponsorship in June 2023,
My husband came back on April 2023,got married to me and travelled back to Canada….
We applied in May but our application was rejected due to some mistakes,then we reapplied in June…
I’ve done biometrics,Medicals and all documentation…
Was waiting for ppr,when I got an email…
A procedural fairness letter….
First of all they asked me to prove my marriage the further,by adding more pictures and chats and documentation…
That one is not an issue..
The main issue now is that they said I’m guilt for misrepresentation……
I never knew I made a mistake in the form……
To be honest,I filled the wrong box by mistake…
In 2017,I was denied a us visiting visa…
I think I wanted to go for vacation or something….
I can’t even remember why they rejected me…
It was since 2017,
So they asked me to prove myself,if found guilty,I will be banned for 5 years….
My marriage is still very young and the emotional turmoil of long distance sef is painful….
I consulted some consultant and she said I should look for the slip they gave me the refusal slip…
I can’t find it….
But I had to search my mail and saw the application slip with the application number…..
How do we go about it and honestly,we don’t have the funds for a lawyer at this moment….
Pls has any one gone through this

Did you indicate you were married in 2017?

flourishing247:
Can you give an update? How did it go?

Probably denied and/or banned.

Sorry for the long write up my people, I need advice.

My first son has been behaving somehow in our family, as if he's not part of this family...
You and this boy can be in the same house but you might not set your eyes on him once for a whole day. He will be inside his room through out...

He has been telling me that he is currently working on going to rent his own place and live on his own and that if God helps him and he is able to achieve that, He will not have anything to do with our family again and that we will never set eyes on him ever again :[ ...

I would have not been bothered by such statement if it were coming from someone else, I would take it as a bluff. But this my son is someone that normally doesn't call people to check on them, not even us his parents..

When he was in his previous University before he dropped out, this boy can go for months, that is a whole semester stretch without calling anybody to know how you're doing, except you call him or maybe he wants to ask for money for something or school stuff....

We have five children and he is the first, the second and third children are away in University, he and the two last siblings are the only one's with us.. My husband refused him from going to University in a far place instead he gives him transport money to be going to his own University from home everyday...... He and his father don't even talk again except good morning greetings. He is only 21 ohh..

Let me give you guys small back story so that you can understand how all these things started.

My son graduated from secondary school (a boarding school) in 2017 at 16 years old... Initially, he said he wanted to study computer science as he said that was the course he loved and wanted to study. But my husband refused and persuaded him to study pharmacy because he worked at NAFDAC and he saw the way pharmacy graduates were living at his work place and the salary they were recieving. He and one of his chemist friend sweet talked him into going to study the course and I guess it was because he was young then and could not challenge his dad then that was why he gave in....

He wrote JAMB but he did not meet the cut of mark for pharmacy (but I later realised his score was good for computer science then)... No public University was willing to admit him for pharmacy then because his score was not good for the course but due to my husband love for the course and not wanting my son to lose admission that year , he decided to go the way of private University not minding their school fees...Long story cut short, my son got admitted into Madonna University where we were paying 1M naira every year.....After 3 years in the school and in 300L @18 years old, he began saying he was not interested in the school any longer, that he was tired of the course, that he's body is no longer in the school and blablabla that he wants to go and play football in Europe...

He came back for holiday during the beginning of covid and refused to go back to the school when they resumed, saying that he was only wasting our money by being in that school and he did not want to continue.....This got my husband really sad and angry....My son stayed home for almost two years doing nothing because my husband was adamant that if he would not go back to school, nothing for him, that all the money he has spent for school fees in that school can not be for waste that he can become a footballer after he graduates, saying no one can become a successful footballer without being a graduate, that it would later affect them in life...

But my son refused. I must confess, my son is extremely good at playing football. That was the talent i can confidently say that God personally gave to him from birth. Infact when he was graduating from secondary school, they gave him the award for the best graduating footballer and he was always the centre of attention anytime he plays at our church events. He friends used to call him "nima" then, I think...

I and my husband got tired of him staying at home for long so I went to meet with one pastor in our street who was based in the UK with his family but comes home sometimes for church related matters. I explained my son's situation to him and he offered to help my son travel out to chase his football career provided we have the funds for it. The man was secondary school class mates with "victor ikpe ekong" who was a former super eagles player but currently a pastor in Sweden. To my greatest surprise he called him on a WhatsApp video call in my presence and i was really surprised...He gave me the man's phone number to keep in contact and also scheduled a day to meet with my husband and have a discussion.. I told my son and he was very happy..I also told my husband and he was eager to meet with him at least, anything to solve my sons idleness at the time..

The pastor came to my our house on several occasions and discussed with my husband. My husband kept telling the pastor, saying he would like my son to be going to school while chasing his football career at the same time, a feat which pastor let us know would be difficult as one has to be dropped for the other. Unfortunately, my husband changed he's mind and said he was no longer interested in the whole footballer thing. He said he knew that my son wanted to become a footballer only because of girls. That he, my son knew that if he becomes a footballer, all the girls would like him, that that was the only reason he wanted to become a footballer, and that if football was his true destiny, he doesn't need to travel out for it to manifest, that he can be in Nigeria and make it from here.....That was how that chapter close like that. Pastor left for England few months after.....

After years of my son staying at home, my husband got tired. One night, he hired some Street thugs to come take my son away and beat him up...my son stayed with them for 2 weeks. When he returned, he said he was ready to go back to school. But my husband told him he won't be going back to any private University again. My son wrote jamb again to study computer science and was admitted into COOU. but my said he would not allow him go to any University that is not in the same state we are residing. Now the problem here was that all the public schools in the state we are staying will not accept you to study computer science unless you did chemistry in jamb. And my son did not do chemistry in jamb because he is not good in chemistry. If he was to study in the same state we were staying, he had to settle for another course, which he did...Now another problem arose. My husband refused to rent an apartment for my son around the school because the school is considerably far from our house, instead he decided to be giving him money (2000) everyday as transport fare to be going from home. This did not sit down well with my the boy and he again, said he was no longer interested in schooling again sef that he can't be going such far distance from home to the school everyday to study a Course he does not even like siting that it would be stressful and affect his academics and that it was unwise to be paying 60k a year as school fees while you spend 2k everyday as transport..My husband got angry and called on our estate CSO to come pick him up. They beat him so badly in public that when he got back home later in the evening, I went to check him in his room, his buttocks and back where scarred and red with huge marks...

Ever since, he has been going to the school from home and he has become very distant from us especially his dad. They don't talk again in the same house except "good morning sir"...

My son has turned into something else. He can stay indoors from morning till night. I would have said he has started keeping bad company but he does not even have a single friend, not one..Nobody calls him, and he doesn't call anybody...I have five children and he is the first. The second and third already gained admission this year in a private University and are in school currently, so he and he's last two siblings are the only one's with us now..

Why I'm writing this is because I'm scared..I'm beginning to fear that my son might commit suicide, he's beginning to show that kind of attitude.. And the plans he have to leave us forever to go and stay alone, I don't like it ohhhh...

Nairalanders please I need your advice.

Your husband destroyed your son. I hope it isn't too late but i doubt it. You failed him as a mother. Both of you should never have been parents.

Now I understand US unwavering and ironclad support for Israel even when atrocities are being committed.

God1000:
This was a message, not an attack, they knew most of the drones will be intercepted


Iran has been saying it for two weeks that they would retaliate, they also informed turkey 72 hours before the attack, turkey is a NATO country

If their intention was to cause maximum damage, they would have launched a surprise attack without informing anybody using hypersonic and ballistic missiles which are much more deadlier and they travel faster than cruise missiles and drones.


By broadcasting everything, it gave USA, Israel and allies ample of time to get their fighter jets into the air to intercept those missiles

Israel will never inform you if they want to strike, the reason most of their attacks are always successful


The message is look, we are not afraid of you and we can hit you as well

1. Iran has no hypersonic missiles. Only Russia, the US and perhaps Israel, France or UK have them.
2. Iran fired ballistic missiles, one is the example shown above.
3. Iran is a toothless dog. It wasn't sending a message, it was placating its people by firing missiles it knew were no match to Israeli defenses. Israel is capable of wiping out Tehran in 1 hr.

Long over due

Which country allows Terrorists family for long

Apparently an apartheid state.

It is not a controversial statement. Go back to our constitution, which is the grund norm. Look at what it says about the ownership of natural resources. According to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the ownership of natural resources is vested in the Nigerian state itself. The idea that there is an oil producing state is at variance with our constitution. It is an idea manufactured by an ignorant mind, a mind that does not even know the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Nobody can own the oil, gold, or whatever natural resources that God has given this country, except the Nigerian state designs another process of ownership.

A classic example of a circular argument. Northerners use their numerical advantage to erase the idea of State rights of oil resources in the Nigerian constitution... because of their selfish agenda.

Then they turn around and point to the very same constitution to paint others as ignorant for demanding States rights of oil resources.

The thug of Israel is a drowning man.

It's almost six months into the war with small Hamas with almost nothing to show except the murder of kids and the sick.

Unprecedented international isolated and rising jew-hate around the world.

Huge idf losses in Gaza.

Massive weekly protests calling for the head of the thug in Tel Aviv.

Serious internal crises with his top military officers.

Now the thug is desperate and wants to divert attention and drag in the United Snakes by a cowardly attack on the Iranian embassy.

Iran?
I dey laugh.

The thug is dragging Israel to its last days.

yet Israel remains firmly entrenched in Gaza...

Congrats to the OP. As some say, let every man carry his camel.

You made a choice that you believe is in your family's best interest. Many of the naysayers here would be first in line if any Western country decided to grant Nigerians one-time permanent resident permits so don't believe most of what they say.

To me, two critical things matter - health and security. Regardless of what many might think, you are truly only as rich as you are healthy. Earning N20m a month in Nigeria is worthless if you are only 5 minutes away from dying from routine typhoid fever or severe blood loss from a survivable accident - just because there was no power in the hospital. My wife had a medical emergency 2 years ago that required immediate surgery. Out of pocket cost to us? <US$500 total. She was on her feet the very next day. If she had been in Nigeria, she would 110% have died, no ifs or buts. Of what use would a N1m/month salary and "big man" job been to her or myself?

HELLO HOUSE,

A follow up to my post concerning the university that assured me admission for summer, it’s university of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I’ve been researching and just seen that it’s not black friendly. Please where are danger zones for blacks? And where’s more safer(states/cities )
Thanks

Compared to Milwaukee, Nigeria is way worse for blacks.

She has several options. She can look into transferring into another program in the same school that doesn't require a GRE score or she could look for admission and transfer to another school/program that will accept her without a GRE score. Her low academic performance may have been what prompted the school to double-check her GRE score. I don't think it will affect her SEVIS records if she's able to transfer to another program within the same school or to another school in time. Even if she eventually falls out of status, she has 5 months to reinstate back into status (that is obtain admission and enroll in the new school).

She has one option, deportation.

YOU ARE VERY STUPID.

UNDER WHAT LAW OF GOD OR MAN DO YOU AVENGE THE DEATH OF 1,000 PEOPLE BY KILLING 50,000 PEOPLE IN REVENGE AND PROMISING TO KILL MORE?

WHERE IN YOUR BIBLE IS THAT PERMITTED?

FAKE CHRISTIANS REVELLING IN THE MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN.

ALL THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN BEING BOMBED TO SHREDS BY ISRAEL, DO YOU DRINK THEIR BLOOD IN YOUR DREAMS?

EVIL VAMPIRES.

YOU WILL ANSWER TO YOUR MAKER ONE DAY FOR YOUR WICKEDNESS.

Funny. It's like Muslims discovered the immorality of killing children last night. They kill children all day and then whine when it's theirs being killed.

Watianoengineer:
Bastard man killing innocent Muslims. I pray almighty Allah vindicate Palestine and give them strength to conquer Isreal. Isreal must be conquered for peace to return to the middle east

The peace that we see in Yemen, Syria, even Nigeria? Muslims can't even live in peace with themselves.

You just confirmed that this conflict is not about land, but about Islamic jihad against the Jews. They will win... so prepare to cry more.

malali:
Twoods, you are right, i am wrong. Kill everybody in Gaza, Kill the women, kill the babies.

It's up to Hamas. Do they care more about their children than killing Jews? They could easily release Jewish hostages.

malali:
No one should be killed.
I condemn what hamas did.
I condemn what the isrealis are doing.
Infants shouldn't have to die.....this is 2024, we are not barbarians.
What has war ever solved ?

War ended the scourge of Al Qaeda, killed Osama Bin Laden, and decimated ISIS. War rescued Kuwait from the clutches of Saddam Hussein. War is horrific, and we should avoid it at all costs, but sometimes war is inevitable and those who seek war must be ready to pay the price for their actions. Hamas sought a war on Oct 7th, it has promised to repeat Oct 7th time and time until the Jews are ethnically cleansed. So war it will get.

malali:
Hamas not Palestinians.......Palestinians are innocent.
I will never support anyone killing infants.

Which means you don't support hamas then? Or ok to kill Jewish infants?

Elidrisy20:
no need for it, go make research on the issue,

What should we research? history?

Palestine came out of thing air ? I wont continue this discuss with you, because you cant debate without emotions, name calling and cursing is not necessary. I pray your life, house and job gets occupied one day.

You're the one debating with emotions.

Palestine didn't come out of thin air, but it had zero to do with arab Muslims (Palestine isn't even an Arabic word, neither does it mean anything in arabic). The area was named "Palestine" by Emperor Hadrian of Rome after the sacking of Jewish Jerusalem in AD 131. This is historical fact.

If you think i am wrong, then please tell us, who was the first king/president/leader of Palestine?
