Ibrahim Traore is banning the implementation of Shari'a law in Burkina Faso.
According to him, there are other religious groups in the country and it would be injustice against many if Shari'a is legalized.
Ibrahim Traore is also saying that Shari'a law is not compatible with development and he frowned at his country men who go to Saudi to study Shari'a while others are studying science.
According to him they'll not return back to the country. They should better stay there after studying their Shari'a.
Ibrahim Traore is a staunch Muslim anyway.
Between the boomers and millennials, there is a generation that is the cause of our problems.
Gen X.
Born between 1965 and 1980.
They are the parents of ZILLENIALS and Gen Z.
These are the people addicted to evangelical churches, classic FM and Facebook.
They still read newspapers and tune in to the BBC at 6PM.
They are rabidly tribal, worship permanent job employment, and so they forge academic and professional documents to ascend lucrative job groups.
They don't want to retire; they are career employees.
They are the most toxic managers at work with outdated ideas.
Their leadership style is holding daily office meetings, and since someone taught them about Zoom, they also hold virtual meetings even on holidays.
These meetings amount to nothing but them reminding employees about appraisal forms and reporting time.
They are extremely corrupt.
They bribe their way through opportunities. They dislike meritocracy and openly hate people who qualify through hard work and merit.
They sell ancestral land to disinherit their children yet their fathers bequeathed them free land.
At home, if it is a man, his wife has conquered him. She runs the house, and he is so scared to confront her.
If it is a woman, she is endlessly angry, chaotic and choleric, but so holier than thou on Sunday in church.
They teach their children bad manners because they want them to become rich overnight.
The Gen X are the root cause of our political, economic, and social collapse.
This is the "hear nothing, see nothing, do nothing" generation.
Docile generation!
The year has come to an end.This is the end of the first quarter of the 21st century.The second quarter will end in the next 25 years,that is 2050.Almost all Baby Boomers and Gen Xs will be gone by then;the millennials will be old people and the Gen Zs will be in their https://t.co/ZzzQKEHvE0 is a brief journey, riding on a wheel of time,passing through experiences,until each person is dropped off at his final destination.We all came without our consent and we shall each be taken out without our consent.
Did you notice that they struck Sokoto?
Not Borno.
Not Plateau.
Not the obvious front line.
That should teach you something about American intelligence and intelligence gathering.
They know where the problem is from
You do not fight only where the noise is loud.
You hit where coordination, funding, and command are happening.
The Nigerian Army can handle the front line.
Soldiers can confront fighters head-on.
But to end the problem, you dismantle the powerhouse.
You break the coordination, the planners, the enablers.
That is how real wars are won.
This was not an attack.
It was a warning.
A message that says, in clear terms:
We know where you are.
We are watching you.
Leave now, or face the consequences.
That is how serious operations begin.
Quiet. Precise. Psychological.
And this is only one of many signals.
If the attacks in Nigeria don't stop
America will not back down, especially with this Israel intelligence
I said it before in one of my posts.
The next phase would not be loud.
In the next 90 days, the noise would drop.
What you are seeing now is the beginning of that phase.
Why am I worried?
Because Trump has now put Nigeria on the global map for the worst possible reason ever.
A US missile strike on Nigerian soil.
Then a public announcement that America struck ISIS terrorists in Nigeria ๐
That single statement has done serious diplomatic damage to Nigeria.
Nigeriaโs image has been dragged into a category it has never openly occupied before.
And this could have been avoided months ago.
If the leadership had acted with precision.
If they had controlled the narrative.
If they had managed the media.
If they had crushed the insurgents quietly and decisively.
But they failed. Completely.
From the security adviser.
To the army command.
To the media handlers.
To the presidential circle.
Up to the president himself.
They failed first to control the story.
They failed to counter propaganda.
They failed, most importantly, to end the insurgency.
Now it has spilled beyond our control.
Inside Nigeria, life feels normal.
People are dancing, posting, moving on.
But outside Nigeria, the picture is different.
To the international community, Nigeria is now being associated with terrorism.
Terrorism they have neglected since 2009
Travel restrictions are only the first signal.
Clearing this image will not be easy.
It will require the government to go all in.
Diplomatically. Militarily. Politically. Media-wise.
They must prove, that Nigeria is safe again.
And that process is neither fast nor simple.
That is why this strike worries me.
Still, one thing remains true.
If our leaders failed and someone else is now forcing accountability,
then that part, at least, is a welcome development.
@EmmyPromise71 No need to abuse him,he's simply a politician planning to win the next election .A lot of disgruntled igbo youths are going to use their votes to punish individuals who do not support MNK
@jon_d_doe The married woman shouldn't have gone for job hunting without letting the husband know.Neveverthess,there could be a 'disconnect'somewhere in the story.On the other hand,the sister would have insisted that her married sister tell her busband as precondition of getting her a Job
The statement issued by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to the United Statesโ designation of Nigeria as a โCountry of Particular Concernโ was measured, mature and diplomatically sound. I sincerely hope that the motor-park diplomats and habitual commentators,such as Femi Fani-Kayode and Reno Omokri, will exercise restraint and hold their tongues. This is not the moment for theatrics or bombast, nor is it the time to hurl gratuitous insults at President Trump. What is required now is sober engagement, not inflammatory rhetoric.
