We are being exhaustively taxed in order to be oppressed by our tax money.

It's been a week today since I lost my older brother. He was the best of us.

I am still heartbroken. Diving into work hides the pain, and solitude exposes it.

Ya Allah, rest his soul. Ya Rabb, grant him Al-Jannatul Firdaus.
Amin

The girls kidnapped from the federal university Gusau in Zamfara state are still in captivity, in the bush, in this cold weather.

It is today more than 5 months. Nobody seems to care, the families of the victims are left to cry alone.

[Abu Jabir Penabdul @PenAbdull]

Inna lillahi wa Inna illaihi raajiun. I lost my uncle this morning. Kindly ask for Allah’s forgiveness and Mercy for him.

[Sadiya Sani @SadiyaSSani]

@PenAbdull May Allah increase our patience.

[Abu Jabir Penabdul @PenAbdull]

Adopt these noble characteristics and in shaa Allah you will master how not to get angry. Don't be angry and furious.

The complete destruction of Gaza and the displacement of it's people has always been the goal.

Killing civilians is never a victory. It’s a heavy price to pay. War should be among men not women and babies. May the Almighty protect the weak, helpless and vulnerable. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Never in my life did I imagine that such gruesome atrocities would be committed against an entire population, watched by the nations of the world, with some even justifying it. What's worse is that the perpetrators themselves were victims of similar persecution in the not so distant past. The need to repeatedly say, "We're the most moral army in the world" can only be because the opposite is true. In fact they're heartless criminals who are guilty of occupation, war crimes, genocide and a modern day holocaust. Shame upon you! Shame!

[Gimba Kakanda @gimbakakanda]

A random private school might wake up today and attempt to enforce a practice of slave trade, obviously violating the law of the land and the fundamental rights of their students as sanctioned in the constitution, and some of us would rush to excuse it with “Is that the only school in the country? Let the students go elsewhere.”

Of course, they can. But what's the implication? It's a frighteningly slippery slope, one that can be exploited to set in motion a series of chaos in the land once all groups realize that they can manufacture a rule to frustrate an opposing group out of their environment or business.

There’s no rule or regulation superior to the constitution of your country, and even the strictest school is bound by the supremacy of the constitution. There are freedoms that should never ever be negotiated, and one of them is that of worship.

[Senator Shehu Sani @ShehuSani]

Before our very eyes in the twenty first century,the UN has become helpless and hopeless in halting the genocide against the people of Palestine in Gaza.Before our very eyes,nations that pride themselves as bastions of democracy,freedom and rule of law have become accomplices to mass murder of over ten thousand civilians.Leaders of the “the free world” are defecating on the gospel of what they preached and what they claimed to stand for.The atrocious cruelty perpetrated in Gaza exposed the hypocrisy and outright falsehood of the World’s commitment to international law and justice.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is horrific.

I renew my appeals for a humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages.

All those with influence must exert it to ensure respect for the rules of war, end the suffering and avoid a spillover of the conflict.

[Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari]

A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE

by Muhammadu Buhari

RARELY in modern times can so few have tried to take so much from so many. If Nigeria had lost its arbitration dispute with Process & Industrial Development in a London court on 23 October, it would have cost our people close to USD15 billion.
We won, and all decent people can sleep easier as a result. Justice Robin Knowles said Nigeria had been the victim of a monstrous fraud. But it was a close-run thing. As the judge said: “I end the case acutely conscious of how readily the outcome could have been different, and of the enormous resources ultimately required from Nigeria as the successful party to make good its challenge.”
But ordinary Nigerians never took the decisions that ended up before Justice Knowles. Had Nigeria lost, it would have required schools not to be built, nurses not to be trained and roads not to repaired, on an epic scale, to pay a handful of contractors, lawyers and their allies - for a project that never broke ground.
How did it get to this point? How did Nigeria prevail? Was this a one-off, or par for a shabby and distasteful course? What are the lessons for the future?
The ‘P&ID Affair’ was already firmly set by the time I came into office in 2015. A company registered in the British Virgin Islands that no one had heard of, with hardly any staff or assets, had won a contract to build a gas processing plant in Cross Rivers. The company was owned by Irish intermediaries who knew Nigeria well and had done business in everything from healthcare to fixing tanks.
The previous government could not supply the gas. The plant was never built. Construction was not started. P&ID did not even buy the land for the facility. But the contract, incredibly, was clear: P&ID could sue Nigeria, and claim all the profits it might have made over 20 years as if everything had been completed.
Nigeria was in court in London, trying to talk down liability and costs. Back at home, fixers were looking to work out a quiet settlement. This is often the way. A lot of contracts end up in dispute. P&ID won a settlement in 2017 of USD6 billion, with compound interest. People, including out of work ex-British Cabinet Minister Priti Patel, were queuing up to insist we paid, or risk Nigeria becoming an untrustworthy trade pariah.
It was clear that far from the whole story had been told. I tasked Abba Kyari, my chief- of-staff and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, with finding a way, even at that late stage and despite so much conflicting advice, to get us a fair hearing. Working with a number of different agencies and senior officials of government, we began to find a huge amount of evidence, not all of which Justice Knowles was to accept. But he agreed that P&ID had paid bribes. He agreed that one of P&ID’s founders had committed perjury. And he agreed that P&ID had somehow found in its possession a steady supply of Nigeria’s privileged internal legal documents, outlining our plans, strategies and problems.
My own view is that this whole, sorry affair shows how important it is to follow the legal process in resolving a dispute. It shows that given time and opportunity for each side to present their case, the temple of justice can satisfactorily resolve all disputes without resort to extra-judicial measures. It was definitely worth the struggle: this was an attempted heist of historic proportions, an attempt to steal from the treasury a third of Nigeria’s foreign reserves.
But even at this moment, we should note what the English judge cautioned. The arbitration process in London “was a shell that got nowhere near the truth.” We need better contracts, in the public and private sector. And we need greater transparency: the reality is that, had P&ID not conjured up quite such an outlandish ransom, they may have found themselves in the same place as the myriad other invisible contractors who all too often quietly take Nigeria for many millions in out of court settlements. Sterner sanctions are indicated for Nigerian public officials who have been proven to connive with foreign criminals to defraud our country.
Nigeria has won this battle with corruption, but the war is far from over. As Justice Knowles concluded: “This case has also, sadly, brought together a combination of examples of what some individuals will do for money. Driven by greed and prepared to use corruption; giving no thought to what their enrichment would mean in terms of harm for others. Others that in the present case include the people of Nigeria, already let down in so many ways over the history of this matter by a number of individuals in politics and administration whose duty it was to serve them and protect them.” Well said.

Terror of a new level. Every phone line is now cut in Gaza. Not a single person can be reached.

This as Israel drops it’s heaviest bombs yet and threatens to bomb the largest hospital there.

Praying for the people of Gaza, and against all of those complicit in their genocide.
