ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!

If what is happening now in America and the rest of the world, had happened in the sixties, we would have protests like you have never seen before.

But in 2012, people can name every player on the football team, but they can’ttell you how badly they are being taken advantage of and by whom.

They know what Gaga and Minaj is doing, but they don’t know what the government is doing. Everyone is on Facebook and my space and your space and their space and twitter and tweeter, Great! Fantastic!

 
But anybody paying attention!.......Lionel Richie

SURFACE STUFF

A lot of what is important to some of us right now is surface stuff, like putting on the right and trendy clothes, hanging out with certain people, having a blackberry phone or IPhone5, putting on designer clothes and so many other irrelevant stuffs.

Pardon my expression, but there is a lot more to life, than all this things. Seriously :)

BEHAVE LIKE A MUSLIM!

“When you are in Rome, behave like the Romans”.

This philosophy is alien to Islam as exemplified by our beloved prophet Muhammad (SAW). When you are in Rome, you either transform the Romans to the ways of the Muslims or you manage to get out of Rome, so that you behave like a Muslim.

It’s not negotiable, make sincere intentions the bedrock of your actions……….

BOKO HARAM OR JONA HARAM

When the book haram sect crisis broke out in 2009, the media was awash with diverse analysis talking about the crisis and its impact on the nation. However, it is pertinent to note that this analysis have been shallow and biased. 

For every terror attack, the president has a standard photocopy response “yes we are doing something about it, don’t worry we are on top of it”. 

In April 1^st last year, soon after the election, the president set up a committee, a panel to investigate the book haram in the north east, the committee submitted a report, it took the federal government over seven months, to produce a white paper on such a fundamental issue, yet NJC (Nigeria Judicial commission) recommended the removal of Salami on a Friday, by Sunday the government has already acted on it, that was very suspicious!

Then after the bombing of the UN building in Abuja, Jonathan told Nigerians “we know sponsors of terror in our land, we will soon get them”. Since then no suspect has been brought to book. In fact, the only suspect that was arrested as been a sponsor was senator Ndumu, a PDP senator. That senator swore an affidavit in court saying “yes I have some links with boko haram but the vice president is aware of what am doing with boko haram”.  They granted him bail, since then nothing has happened!

After the bombing of the UN building, they said they were looking for one nor, that was supposed to be the mastermind of the attack. That was as far as they went, since then have u heard of Nor?? Of course NO!!

Kabiru sokoto escaped from police custody, since then have u heard of anything about him. Of course NO!!

We have a case in bauchi state where a church was bombed, and one of the suspect was arrested and they found the state security service (SSS) identity card on him. No tangible report of this trial has been heard since then.

The former national security adviser to the president, general Azazi went to a south-south economic summit in asaba, delta state and he said “it was the policy of the PDP that caused incessant bombings in the country”. The only thing the president could tell Nigerians was that they should ask Azazi to make himself clear.

All this leads to one conclusion---------à we have a president who is playing politics with the security of the country. It is unfortunate that the president appears rather stable and comfortable playing politics with the lives of Nigerians especially Muslims.

Precious lives are being lost daily and our president has become mourner -in –chief rather than commander in chief.

All the information and statistics used in this write up was culled from “THE NATION NEWSPAPER, SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 and also from other newspaper articles on Boko Haram..
