Are you calling Adolf Hitler a great man?

Rapmoney:
Most great men of the world seemed like the opposite of what they later became. Adolf Hitler was idle and confused about life even in his late 20s.

That's another unforseen possibility....

There has been a rise in suicide bombings in Maiduguri recently. And Boko Haram used to be known for targetting schools because they hate western education

Fejoku:
The story makes no sense. How can one be parking a car and still get knocked down by the car? Until a family member who was at home at the time tells his/her story, this one sounds like a conjecture to cover up something.

In her prime, Mama was obviously one of those young, impressionable African virgin maiden. The type we used to read about in fairy tales aye atijo

The reason why I reached this conclusion is that if Mama had been in her late 20s, 30s or 40s when she met John, there wouldn't have been any potential for this kind of romantic relationship between them because she would have been a married woman. In those old days, African girls (and boys for that matter) used to marry early. Usually by the age of 19 at the most, a typical African girl in those days would already be married and expecting child number 2 or 3.

So if Mama is 103, then we can safely conjecture that she would have been around 16 or 17 when she met John which would place their romantic encounter sometime in the 1930s! This is ancient history we're talking about.

Sadly, it seems that Mama attached more significance to the relationship than John did, which would explain why he never bothered informing her before he left. Of course, if he had abandoned her with a pregnancy, that would be an entirely different story, but he seems to have respected her enough to leave her as the virgin he met, so we must concede that John had a degree of decency.

My verdict:

Mama wasted her life. She deprived herself of the chance to experience the joys of motherhood and family life, all because of wishful thinking. If you read the story in its entirety, nowhere does she say that John made a categorical vow that he would return for her. She reached that conclusion on her own.

You must mean the religion of rest in peace

What's the correlation between religion of peace and terrorism in Northern Nigeria? Still can't comprehend that honestly .

Northerners can't be claiming to be religious while this kind of act of terrorism which have been over a decade continue..

A Christian woman is presently facing a difficult ruling after being ordered by an Iraqi court to convert to Islam. The decision is based on the 1959 Personal Status Law, which mandates that children must adopt Islam if one of their parents converts to the Muslim faith.

Evlin Joseph was 15 years old when her parents divorced. Her mother then married a Muslim man and converted to Islam at that time. Years later, Evlin married a Christian man, and the couple began raising their three children according to the teachings of Christianity. However, when Evlin sought to obtain a national ID card, which specifies the religion of Iraqi citizens, the authorities stated that – since her mother had converted to Islam while Evlin was still a minor – she is also considered Muslim by law.

The matter went to court, where officials ordered that Evlin has to be designated as a Muslim. Accordingly, she is not legally eligible to be married to a Christian man. Additionally, since she is now labelled a Muslim, her children are also officially considered Muslims by the government.

Evlin is from Duhok in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. In speaking about the ruling, she stated: "I am Christian. I am married to a Christian man. I have three Christian kids. My education was in our language. All my official documents are Christian. Our marriage is registered by the church." The couple now must deal with the many ways in which this decision could affect their marital, inheritance and custodial rights.

A conference was recently held in the regional capital of Erbil, focussing on the ramifications of the Personal Status Law. The president of the Kurdistan Region offered his support to Christians. The conference, which included delegates from other Middle Eastern countries, called for legal reforms that would give Christians in Iraq full religious rights.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has threatened to resort to radical revolution against Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, if he deposes the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar III.

MURIC issued the threat in a statement issued on Monday by its founder and Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in reaction to Governor Aliyu’s reported deposition of 15 traditional rulers in the state.

MURIC also said that there is a sour relationship between the governor and the Sultan and that there is a rumour of impending dethronement of the Sultan by the governor.

News Direct had reported that Governor Aliyu was planning a new law on the appointment of traditional rulers that seeks to grant him absolute power to appoint and sack chiefs in the state.

According to the report, the governor has already had the proposed legislation approved by his Executive Council for onward transmission to the state house of assembly.

The state’s Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Nasiru Mohammed Binji, told journalists that the Council seeks the amendment of the District Heads Appointment Law of 2008, which vests the authority of such appointments in the Sultanate Council to a new legislation that makes the act exclusive to be state governor.

In the statement, MURIC said that Nigerian Muslims reject any thought of deposing the Sultan, threatening that if the Sultan is deposed, it will lead to nationwide radical revolution as Sultan's stool is not only traditional but also religious and his jurisdiction goes beyond Sokoto.

Akintola said, "The governor of Sokoto State, Ahmed Aliyu, deposed 15 traditional rulers on 23rd April 2024. That was two months ago.

In the statement, MURIC said that Nigerian Muslims reject any thought of deposing the Sultan, threatening that if the Sultan is deposed, it will lead to nationwide radical revolution as Sultan's stool is not only traditional but also religious and his jurisdiction goes beyond Sokoto.

Akintola said, "The governor of Sokoto State, Ahmed Aliyu, deposed 15 traditional rulers on 23rd April 2024. That was two months ago.

"However, feelers in circulation indicate that the governor may descend on the Sultan of Sokoto any moment from now using any of the flimsy excuses used to dethrone the 15 traditional rulers whom he removed earlier.

"MURIC advises the governor to look before he leaps. The Sultan's stool is not only traditional. It is also religious. In the same vein, his jurisdiction goes beyond Sokoto. It covers the whole of Nigeria. He is the spiritual head of all Nigerian Muslims.

"Therefore, any governor who tampers with the stool of the Sultan will have Nigerian Muslims to reckon with because the Sultan combines the office of the Sultan of Sokoto and that of the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).”

He warned, "Governor Ahmed Aliyu should not force Nigerian Muslims to take a drastically revolutionary measure. Having a traditional ruler as leader has been a condition Nigerian Muslims accepted a long time ago as a necessary weakness in the structure which they have to live with.

"A military governor, Colonel Yakubu Muazu, exposed this soft underbelly when he deposed Sultan Ibrahim Dasuki on 20th April, 1996. Nigerian Muslims will be forced to make a hard decision if Sokoto governors continue to diminish the authority of the Sultan.

"For the avoidance of any doubts, Sultan Muhammad Sa'd Abubakar is not only the Sultan of Sokoto but the Sultan of the Nigerian people. His performance and style of leadership have warmed him into the hearts of Nigerians.”

Akintola threatened that “Nigerian Muslims North and South of the country may be constrained to pick Islamic scholars only as President General of the NSCIA and overall leader of Nigerian Muslims”.

He said, “It will be farewell to the leadership of traditional rulers over the NSCIA and an irreversible departure from Sokoto's privileged leadership position. But history will not be kind to Colonel Yakubu Muazu and Ahmed Aliyu for ruining the chances of Sokoto.

"That will make it impossible for any governor to harass or intimidate the leader of Nigerian Muslims. The power and influence of governors over traditional rulers have become absolute and totalitarian in recent time. Nigerian Muslims must be given space to breathe some air of freedom like all other associations.

"Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, the third time is enemy action. If the deposition of a Sultan and NSCIA leader happens a second time, Nigerian Muslims will not allow the embarrassment to happen a third time.”

MURIC therefore called on the Sokoto State House of Assembly to either repeal or review the state's chieftaincy laws by granting immunity to the Sultan.

It urged the state lawmakers to add the phrase 'except the Sultan of Sokoto' to Section 6, Cap 26 of the Laws of Northern Nigeria which empowers the state governor to depose emirs including the Sultan.

If I were them, I would also arrest the husband because he must be a bandit leader himself. Abi, how else would a woman become so involved with bandits that they trust her to smuggle arms for them?

The human body generates heat. When over 2 million human beings are packed together like sardines in an enclosure that is not big enough to hold them (which is why there have been thousands of incidents of stampede), they will generate an extraordinary amount of heat. Complicate this by adding a scorching heatwave and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

Well, there's always a price to be paid for stupidity. They've been stoning the devil for 1400 years, but every now and then, he reminds them that he is actually their god and they will be spending eternity with him.

dominique:
Egypt and Tunisia recorded the highest casualties ironically are part of the Arab world and their people should be somewhat familiar with this kind of weather. I read about an American couple who saved for years to be able to go for this pilgrimage and unfortunately were casualties of the heatwave. May God rest their souls.

I thought Israel is your chief obsession. It's because the Nigerian government is full of dimwits like you that this country is going to suffer in the future.

God1000:
Where are the intelligence agencies in Nigeria, they are always in comatose and unable to see such threats coming.

The NIA isn't doing its job

Give it to CIA, MI6 and other powerful intelligence agencies across the world, they
are always on top of their jobs, they even have several combat units that they use when necessary.

She doesn't understand that they were paying her NOT to work. Better to keep her employed as a low earning secretary than fire her and risk a lawsuit for gender discrimination where they may end up paying her millions. She's just wasting her time.

Wonderful

Yes, because tourists love flocking to a country with rampant insecurity and a corrupt incompetent police force

Typical olodo question. Do you think Premiership, La Liga, Champions League, Olympics, Tennis, Athletics is free or charge? DSTV pays for the broadcasting rights in dollars to the holders of international rights and they have to recover their money from their subscribers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this simple issue.

Why should they also increase their subscription fee ridiculously?

It's a good thing the real truth is in the public domain. This lying, dishonest, degenerate, sub human version of history can only emanate from a typical TEEFnubu supporter.

Goodvibes007:
He refused because he was a coward and that court order was also from his friend Author Nzeribe. He was not brutalized anything. He could have chosen the path of truth, but he did not.
That's why his name would never be mentioned when heros of democracy are being mentioned. Even artiste TV ignored him . LMAO.

Men may not walk away from good men, but is it okay to walk away from your 2 year old child? Without any care of what might befall the child? Why didn't he take his son along with him when he was running away from his responsibilities?

He refused to annul the elections. Babangida went over his head to do so. There was a court order asking him to hand over the results which he refused to do and was brutalised by the army for doing so.

I don't expect a professional APC liar to tell the truth about the past when they can't even tell the truth about the present.

Like many others including those I'm Madeco that were able to flee, Prof Soyinka put up a good fight for almost two years inside Nigeria before fleeing. Prof Nwosu did not even put up any fight at all. He immediately folded from day 1.

As Eid-el-Kabir approaches, pepper, a common spice in many Nigerian cuisines, has become a scarce commodity in Kwara’s capital city of Ilorin.

A market survey conducted on Thursday at the Mandate market in the Ilorin West LGA, where pepper is sold in large quantities, found that the commodity has become expensive in the past few weeks.

The product had become scarce, with little or none in sight, including tomatoes.

Some pepper sellers attributed the scarcity to flooding and pest attacks in the North, where pepper is grown in large quantities.

Jamilu Isa said they were expecting the vehicles to bring pepper and onions, but they were informed that there were no goods for them to load. He lamented that the flood had washed all away, and those not washed were affected by pests.

A small container of tomatoes formerly sold for N150 now sells for N2,000, a waste bin basket formerly sold for between N1,500 and N2,000 now goes for N15,000, and a big basket of N10,000 now sells for N175,000 and above.

Also, a basket of Scotch Bonnets, popularly called ‘rodo’, which used to sell for N1,500, now goes for N12,000.

Similarly, a bag of onions now goes for N75,000 as against N50,000 and below that it was sold.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, food prices in Nigeria increased 40.53 per cent in April of 2024 over the same month in the previous year, and food inflation reached an all-time high of 40.53 per cent in April of 2024.

On a visit to ram dealers, they lamented low sales as buyers complained of the high prices of rams.

Azeez Abdullahi, a ram seller, said the ram that went for N50,000 a few years back was sold for between N170,000 and N200,000 and above this year.

He blamed the hike in the price of rams on the high cost of feed and transportation.

A prospective customer, Yahaya Usman, said that because of the exorbitant price, some of his friends planned to contribute money to buy and share a cow, which is also acceptable in Islam as an alternative to rams.

So what did I get wrong? They seized his passport but he was still able to flee from Nigeria. Where is the lie?

Goodvibes007:
This is how you gen z distort history.
All those that fled abroad did not do so until Abacha snatches power..

Soyinka and even Dele Momodu ran away to the United States. I don't blame them because military regimes are ruthless and bloodthirsty. The fact that you stupidly brought Peter Obi into a June 12 1993 topic just shows how low level your brain is.

opamoses1:
Soyinka that you all abuse today stood up against Babanginda and Abacha, even Dele Mododu, while Peter Obi was busy colluding with those military dictators to loot money.
