it is a lower level form of islam in the context of the potential and historical actualization of Islam in the course of its history across time and space.
Oluwatoyin Adepoju,
Re- your words: "We need ethnic self determination. All ethnicities need to decide whether or not they wish to remain in the Nigerian contraption and the terms of exit or remaining"
In addition to dealing with the economy, and wiping out corruption, you would like President Buhari to supervise the dismantling of Nigeria, everyone go his own way? Each new born/ independent / secessionist state will fight corruption on their own. That would make you happy.
You will no longer be unequally yoked to the North which presumably is not anxious to secede.
I know that you don't have any respect for the Nigerian military either
You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself and ashamed of uncouth words, unworthy of even those Ogbeni Kadiri the Elder could deem "street urchins" :
"Buhari represents the dregs of Islamic civilization, an unmodern, medieval anachronistic group who are either uneducated in modern learning, as Buhari is, or even if they are, conspire to keep their people uneducated and poor, so they may continue to be useful as unthinking acolytes in securing the power base of these parasites." ( Toyin Adepoju noh 'fraid God)
You may or may not like Basil and you may or may not be in a sweet mood to respond to this missile, but please understand that we're in dialogue and I'm still talking to you. I hope that you can hear me
clearly.
You have to calm down. Tell the strident bitch to climb down and turn off all the other gas that you have been emitting.
About responding/ not responding for all your lame excuses, so far, I'm not the one who has to give you freedom to jump off your faithless ladder, even jump off blessed virginia or as Madiba said, Go jump into a pool - to cool down - for all I care - if that is your desire...
Your main problem is that you are forever bristling with contempt for the great religion of al – Islam and - mistakenly, just a while ago sneering at what a figment of your imagination disdains to call " Medieval Islam" as if like verum Ignoramus, you never knew a thing about " The Golden Age of Islam".
I listened to Professor Mark R. Cohen hold forth on this at the Jewish Community House in Stockholm on 5th October 2005 - and afterwards had a chat with him (he was effusive with his optimism about the peace process and lavish in his praise of Prince Hassan of Jordan)
I remember that it was the 5th of October, because when I got home that evening , barely through the front door the phone rang with the news that my sister-in-law had just passed away in a convalescent home in the Canary Islands….

Not bcs they are anybody's kinsman. Africans in football are described as being both big and fast and so ideal for the game. Africans have also distinguished themselves globally in boxing, with Muhammed Ali epitomizing that achievement. The same goes for the track and field accomplishments represented by such athletes as Usain Bolt and the members of the US track and field teams. It is not possible to view football and track and field on a global scale and not see Black people at the apex in various countries, in spite of all the entry restrictions into the West placed as barriers to African immigrants.The conditions that contribute to Kenya's global achievement in track and field are known. The Williams sisters and Tiger Woods are not representative of Black presence in those sports, although the life trajectories that have enabled their dominance of their sports are well known , along with the colossal physical power and determination represented by Serena Williams enabling her being world no 1 in tennis, exemplified by her recent historic 22nd grand slam title win at Wimbledon, are on display for the whole world to see.Cornelius,You uncritical approach helps to sink your boat faster.In the name of justice, what evidence of achievement exists to justify the Nigerian ruler filling most federal positions with ethnic/religious affiliates from the most educationally and economically backward region of Nigeria?Buhari represents the dregs of Islamic civilization, an unmodern, medieval anachronistic group who are either uneducated in modern learning, as Buhari is, or even if they are, conspire to keep their people uneducated and poor, so they may continue to be useful as unthinking acolytes in securing the power base of these parasites.It is not a crime to be underdeveloped, and at an even lower level than other members of a generally underdeveloped nation. But it is a crime to either slow down the development of others as well as of oneself or ensure that development remains a mirage across generations for others and even for oneself, by trying to use one's underachieving region in dominating others, through a culture of keeping one's constituency chronically underdeveloped educationally and economically, encouraging them to feed on a diet of fanatical, dogmatic religion, while struggling to cow the rest of the nation to your barbaric mindset through a culture that encourages regular pogroms of those outside your region but living in your region, through coups staged by your members in the national army, through terrorism, such as Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen terrorists, through threats of terrorism such as Atiku threatening Nigeria with violent change bcs a Northern Muslim was not made PDP 2011 Presidential candidate or Buhari threatening the 'dog and the baboon' would be covered in blood' if he lost the 2015 elections, and proceeding to create an army of appointees from this dognmatised class to ensure perpetual continuity in power even after other groups have allowed themselves to be misled in supporting your ascension to power, that being a summary of how we got to the current hell in Nigeria at the hands of the right wing fascist Northern Muslim group to which Buhari belongs.Anytime you think I have written anything unfactual about that charlatan, let me know and ill consider responding. But ill not respond to a challenge that is not serious. Your current challenge is unserious bcs you are making a comparison which anyone can see does not hold, in the spirit of people like you who keep insisting Nigerians must live by low standards and therefore be assured of perpetual mediocrity in the community of nations. I am responding now only bcs I am in the mood to.We need ethnic self determination. All ethnicities need to decide whether or not they wish to remain in the Nigerian contraption and the terms of exit or remaining. This oil inspired integration is a deadly scam daily costing many lives, the latest being the recurrent murders of non-Muslims in the North by the fanatical Muslims who define Northern Nigerian Islam.toyinOn Sun, Jul 10, 2016 at 11:52 PM, Cornelius Hamelberg <cornelius...@gmail.com> wrote:Oluwatoyin Adepoju,
The "incongruity of (my) position" ?
Which position ?
I counted at least seven Africans in the French National Football Team – and a few more on the substitute bench. They could have all come from Kaduna, what do you care...
Like a Judas priest or like one of the devils possessed by an evil spirit you have been bombarding this forum with endless anti-Buhari diatribes and misleading information through which we have got to understand that your unforgettable position on Brother Buhari is not made of gold, rather, is fashioned by a heart carved out of stone.
No matter. I'm sure that your heart beats for Nigeria. Maybe, also Biafra? (That would be a business earthquake of Brexit dimensions)
"medieval mind set" Who? Brother Buhari?
And the Constitution?

I wonder why the "author" or the "interviewer" should be the butt of attacks here, instead of the man whose views he merely reported? And how does merely reporting an interview translate to someone wishing that Buhari surrounded himself with South Easterners? I doubt if Dr. Junaid Mohammed would go to the extent of proposing that. The way we reason in Nigeria can at times be very strange...--

…His Relatives Dictate Aso Rock policy
*President Buhari Interview by Ishaya Ibrahim (Acting News Editor)Muhammadu Buhari's relatives are the ones dictating policy in Aso Rock for 170 million Nigerians, adding nepotism to the festering allegation of narrow mindedness levelled against the president, who critics say surrounds himself with Northerners in running national affairs.Junaid Mohammed, radical politician and Second Republic lawmaker, named at least seven relatives of the president who are the power behind the throne in the Villa – apart from the heads of all vital security agencies who are from the from the North.
In a telephone interview from his base in Kano, Mohammed accused Buhari of giving key positions to his cousins, nephews, and in-laws, and is therefore guilty of the corruption he is trying to fight.
Mohammed, a virulent critic of former President Goodluck Jonathan, and originally a supporter of Buhari, said nepotism compromises Buhari's ability to rule the country well, fight corruption, and deal with rogue lawmakers who pose a threat to his administration.
