I think its high time the north and federal government checkmate the excesses of the miyetti allah group, they have sown the seed of discord and its tree of tribalism has grown bigger than zuma rock.
They are very uninnovative and all they think and care about is political leadership, poverty is now a permanent resident over there. lots of southern youths are innovative and moving outside to empower themselves and establish their regions while miyetti allah still thinks about born to rule. if amotekun stays or not the message have been pass over.

if these is true then she needs to be mentally evaluated, rather seeing her child sleep on his father while he is also asleep should give her greater joy. she but at peace and not the child throwing up on his father. so she wants him to keep throwing up more to increase her joy.

slowpoke, these are the type of people that promotes tribalism on nigeria social media now they are exporting their insanity to the international levels.

Am not a muslim but i guese they are using the advantages of those laws of freedom of religion.
Most of those western countries constitutions allows/permits freedom of religon and they take advantage of it.
Mind you we have the unradical muslim i have met alot, they accept they have lots of bad eggs amongs them that twist the quran. religion have done some goods and lots of damages to the world. we just have to live with it.

The recent Kuala Lumpur summit of Islamic nations attended by three important heads of state has been described as a game changer in the Muslim world’s relations with Saudi Arabia, with experts predicting a domino effect that could spell the end of the oil-rich kingdom’s theological and political grip on Muslim governments.

They say it is also Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s move to look elsewhere for faster technology transfer that would favour Malaysia, which has long depended on expensive Western technology and the caveats that come with it in the form of multi-billion dollar arms deals.

Politically, a former Malaysian diplomat who served in the Middle East said the KL Summit had “struck at the heart of a long-held myth” that forces Muslim leaders to publicly toe Riyadh’s line.

“It has essentially debunked this myth, the belief that Riyadh holds leadership over the Muslim world because it is the ‘khadimul haramain’,” the seasoned diplomat, who asked to remain anonymous, told FMT.

The “khadimul haramain” title, which means the Servant of the Two Holy Cities, has been used by successive Saudi monarchs, underlining the importance placed on control over Mecca and Medina – the focal points of the annual Muslim pilgrimages that see millions flocking to the two cities.

The KL Summit was held against the backdrop of Riyadh’s silent campaign among its allies, resulting in a no-show by most Gulf states and only low-level delegations sent by non-Arab recipients of Saudi aid.

FMT last week quoted diplomatic sources as saying that the Saudis were incensed after Mahathir’s refusal to back down amid pressure to cancel the summit, which was initially a joint effort by Malaysia, Pakistan and Turkey.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan cancelled his trip at the eleventh hour, in what well-placed sources confirmed was the result of diplomatic arm-twisting of the cash-strapped South Asian nation which has received billions of dollars in Saudi aid since Khan came to power last year.

The three heads of state who attended were among the Saudis’ staunchest enemies: Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Qatar’s Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Some pro-Saudi circles in Malaysia, including those from the previous government which had openly joined in alliance with the Wahhabi state, cited this as a failure of the summit.

But seasoned Middle East watchers disagree.

London-based Palestinian academic Azzam Tamimi, a vocal Saudi critic, said the KL Summit showed that key Muslim leaders had decided to “adopt policies or positions more harmonious with the sentiments expressed by their people”.

Tamimi, who heads Alhiwar TV, a pan-Arabian current affairs satellite channel critical of Saudi policies, said leaders in KL had come close to forging an alliance that counters the “Saudi-UAE-led coalition of counter revolutionary forces in the Muslim world”.

This is a possible reference to the four-year-old military pact that saw bombings in support of the pro-Saudi government in Yemen, as well as the active role of Riyadh in 2013 in toppling Egypt’s first democratically elected president, the late Mohamed Morsi.

“I admire the emir of Qatar for resisting the pressure exercised on his tiny nation from much bigger entities in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt,” Tamimi told FMT.

Prominent Turkish scholar Mustafa Akyol shared this view, saying the summit had been able to break a long anti-Shia narrative directed by the Sunni world against Iran.

“Sectarianism is a major problem in the Muslim world today, and the right way to handle it is not by building a ‘Sunni bloc’ against Iran, as some think, but rather having no blocs at all,” the US-based writer told FMT, adding however that Iran should not be spared blame either.

Akyol, who has criticised undemocratic policies by Muslim governments including Malaysia, also welcomed Mahathir’s “honest” opinion that Muslims had lost respect on the global stage.

“Let me just add that this is precisely why the much-denigrated ‘Muslim liberals’, including my humble self, are calling for the rethinking of some crucial issues within Islamic tradition.

“We do see that with a religious teaching that doesn’t respect freedom, that is bigoted and oppressive, we are only harming our religion and our societies,” said Akyol, whose lectures in Malaysia came to an abrupt end with his arrest by Jawi, the Islamic authorities in Kuala Lumpur.

Domestic factors

But the KL Summit was not detached from Malaysia’s noisy domestic politics.

For one, the choice of local speakers, believed to be handpicked by the Prime Minister’s Office, ruffled some feathers on the back of a raging debate over whether Mahathir will hand over power to Anwar Ibrahim as promised.

Some see the conference as having sidelined Anwar, despite his efforts to maintain his Islamic image by appearing at Islamic forums worldwide.

“His absence was notable, especially as the man he has always referred to as his ‘close friend’, Erdogan, was in town,” said a source.

Supporters cited pictures of Anwar hosting Erdogan at a private dinner while skipping a pre-summit dinner hosted by Mahathir, calling it a testament to the Turkish strongman’s preference between the PKR leader and the veteran prime minister.

But a Turkish diplomat rubbished this theory.

“The dinner was not meant for ministers or heads of state. No state leader attended the dinner,” she told FMT.

A PKR insider said the KL Summit “might not be Anwar’s cup of tea”, adding that Anwar had long surrounded himself with the “salafist lobby” linked to Saudi petro-dollars.

“For decades when he was in the government, though this has changed, Anwar chose to mingle with the Gulf governments and organisations to show that he was their man in Malaysia,” said a former official of the Malaysian Muslim Youth Movement (Abim), a once-firebrand organisation which Anwar founded in the late 1970s.

“Anwar would prefer to be in the company of so-called progressive salafists, especially in the wake of the fallout between the Saudis and Qatar,” he added.

But more than anything, he said, the KL Summit was essentially Mahathir’s way of making a “clean break” from past pro-Saudi policies.

“He cannot continue bashing the West and still pay loyalty to the very Muslim government which greases Western military might,” said the former diplomat, referring to the Saudis’ hosting of US army bases.

Economic benefits

At the conclusion of the KL Summit, Mahathir praised Iran in a rare concession from the leader of a Sunni Muslim nation.

Sources said the prime minister was aware of the backlash from conservative religionists, as well as Western-trained military top brass.

But a military insider told FMT that many had missed the “hidden clues” in Mahathir’s closing speech where he referred to Iran’s stockpile of engineers.

He said themes such as Muslim unity, Islamophobia and even the gold dinar were “just wall decorations”, adding that Mahathir was after something bigger.

He said Mahathir was aware of Iran’s advanced technology, something Western and Israeli critics of the Islamic republic also admitted to when accusing it of nuclear ambitions.

Iran has a vibrant domestic industry for its military and aviation needs, and boasts what is likely the most number of universities specialising in technological research, as well as more than 30 science and technology parks nationwide.

“Mahathir is aware of this strength, and he is 100 steps ahead of other Muslim leaders in realising its potential domestic benefits,” said a military insider.

He also dismissed fears that Mahathir’s “tough talk” against the US would backfire economically.

“Strategically, the US would need us no matter what in its efforts to counter China. This is why it sponsored sophisticated military equipment such as the Coastal Surveillance Radars and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, with all maintenance and expert training provided free.

“But these do not benefit Malaysia economically. So Mahathir is actually looking for a faster technological transfer, something he feels Malaysia will not get from the West. This is where Turkey and Iran come in,” the source said.

Echoing this, the former diplomat said Turkey, Iran and Qatar had strengths unlike those of any other Muslim nation.

“Turkey has diplomatic muscle in the Muslim world. How else can you host an Israeli embassy, and yet become very popular in the Muslim world?

“Qatar, meanwhile, is ready to buy more allies with its enormous wealth and investments worldwide,” he added.

Zafar Bangash, who heads Canada-based Muslim world think tank Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought, agrees.

He said the four key nations at the KL Summit had their individual strengths.

“The four carry much weight both economically (Qatar and Malaysia), as well as militarily (Turkey and Iran). This has raised hopes among Muslims that perhaps some Muslim countries are getting their act together to address some of the burning issues in earnest,” he told FMT.

As the dust settles on the KL Summit, it is still too early to tell how the Saudis will react.

But for now, the mood has been set with the coming together of forces who are not ready to take instructions from the “khadimul haramain”.

‘Game changer’ KL Summit marks end of Saudi stranglehold on Muslim world

you are very lucky to be alive, hundreds and if not thousands of guys died because of cult wars which was caused by females, the irony is most of those females are happily married with kids while those guys are gone are the rivalry fights are still on.
you really truly lucky to be alive and next time dont jump to seperate any fight you see and dont know the genesis, some might be armed with dangerous weapons. seems you just a youngster.

while they give birth to the 10cm head, where they singing and smiling or screaming in labour, its been proven scientifically that giving birth is one of the most painful experience. so, being deflower and giving birth are always a painful experience in a woman's life.
tell that girl that no woman fakes while being deflower and giving birth. infact some women cheat because of some great sex memory they want to experience again.
she should stop consoling herself.

a friend of mine from a prominent family in nigeria,whose mum is a chief magistrate walked angrily into the bar one nite and was boiling. he said his dad asked him why does he think a young female law graduate would marry an illetrate man, he said because of love and his dad told him it was because of money, he told his dad does he mean his mum married him because of money and his dad replied yes and told him to work hard to make more money. he said his mum had other law graduates and finer boys but choose him because he was already successful back then. so a phd holder can marry mc oluomo.

nigerian government, private sectors and financial institutions wont harvest this talent. he can become a hub and pillar for cosmetic art for africa and other continent but oil money wont allow them.

belive this man at your own risk, if it came out of someone else mouth i would had belived it but lia mohamed. i wont belive him even in my dream.

chrisagyei:
You Nigerians are very funny oo.I already told you that GUTA already hate you and had just gotten the perfect opportunity to get all Nigerian competitors and traders out from Ghana. Remember that Ghana is already 30 million people and has the second largest economy in West Africa and higher GDP per capita than Nigeria. There're more than 4 million Nigerians living and working in Ghana together with their families. Ghana doesn't really produce anything for exports into West Africa except some few alcoholic companies. Now if these millions of Nigerians living in Ghana are frustrated and forced out of Ghana, your same people will be shouting ECOWAS and xenophobia. Now let's see if any Nigerian will shout ECOWAS again. Just this year,just 400 Nigerian shops and businesses were locked in just one spare parts town in another city called Kumasi alone and you people were all over the place. You wannabe giants were mocking our leaders that they're begging you. For them they always want peace just like the South African leaders try to make peace buh we the people of Ghana don't want to see you Nigerians in our country and don't even care or heard of any border closure .F**k peace. That's the honest situation on the ground .Seriously I love my country Ghana more than myself." God Bless our Homeland Ghana, And Make Her Great And Strong ".I hate to see my fellow brothers and sisters from Nigeria insult my nation Ghana.

Hello

SARS- SPECIAL ARMED ROBBERY SERVICES.

sanusi still remains the unbias northern elite, he shouldnt have accepted the emirship, abuja and aso rock still needs him. the north have alot of work to do.

the true is most foreigners into illegal deals claim nigerian, due to nigeria reputation alot claim nigerian to get away on the street.
nigerian male are always being loved by their foreign females counterpart, so other african countries would tell any female they are nigerians to get them easier.

To set the record straight, no foreign country cares about igbo, yoruba or hausa, all they know is the crimes are being prepatrated by nigerians.
The same way we nigerians dont care which tribe in south africa are carrying out the xenophobia crime, be it zulu, xhosa, tswana, sohto, venda etc.
As far as they are concerned nigerians are scammers, rather than fighting and mocking ourselves lets think on how to clean and clear or image together,irrespective of which tribe is guilty.
In some families some kids and parents might not be in good terms and be having misunderstanding that doesnt mean and outsider should utilise such oppurtunity to fight a parent in front of their kids they would drop their differences and fight the intruders.
To clear our images is a collective responsiblity of all nigerian tribes.

God answers the prayer of which ever run faster.
