Who is Suleiman Abba? The world wants to know as it says, "Good riddance to a very bad rubbish" with the exit of non-performing M.D. Abubakar

"Whilst the Hausa and Fulani people of Nigeria work on the gullible minority ethnic nationalities in their midst to clamour for the return of power to the North, I 'd like to ask: Why can no king/Oba in the South become the spiritual leader of the muslims in Nigeria?"

Nigeria's new Inspector General of Police Suleiman Abba...but who is he?

The Nigerian nation has just appointed a new Inspector General of Police: How about that and why is that a cause for celebration? Bo na de same one and toro, if I may be allowed to use a popular Nigerian expression in pidgin English, meaning it's just another new wine in an old bottle.

The Islamic State Group in a Nutshell

Much debate has raged recently concerning the motives, nature, and aims of the Islamic State (IS) group, formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Broadly, two viewpoints have emerged regarding the said group: The first sees the IS group as a mediaeval phenomenon, very much like many other Islamist movements, only worse. According to this view, recent actions by the IS group can be traced back to the Dark Ages. The second view considers the IS group to have much more in common with modern totalitarian ideologies and governments, such as Lenin’s Bolsheviks in Russia or Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, partly because the IS group has proved itself adept at the use of modern techniques and technology in order to further its cause.
