Shocking Video: Ash Carter Lie About Why He Let Turkey Supply ISIL with Oil

Watch the video after the break.
McCain, Carter and the rest of the Washington insiders clearly knew about ISIS oil trading all along

"Of course we knew about these trucks with stolen oil"...
One of the most embarrassing things to come out of the Russian military venture in Syria is the huge convoy supply lines of oil moving between Turkey and ISIS positions.

Watch America's finest mumble their way through explanations of why they have let this go on for two years.

Priceless.

Carter deserves an Academy Award.

Superstition, The Bane Of The Nigerian Mind

"Suffer not the witch to live" the pastor would quote from the ever poetic bible verse and is rewarded with an ear quaking "Amen" from the ever excited congregation.

You could see the pouring emotions of deep fear as they shout and pray for the witches and wizards in their villages, uncles and grandmums and mother in-laws always at the center of this suspicion to die.

You would see cases where continuous chants of "die! die!! die!!!" rents the air all meant for the alleged witch who supposedly by some spirity diabolical means is hindering their progress or health.

Buhari Admininistration: A Government Of Failure, Tears And Disappointment

Virtually every Nigerian from Abia state to Zamfara state is complaining that are things moving from bad to worse in all sphere of the economy. The story is the same from the creeks of Bayelsa state to the deserts of Adamawa state, the rhetoric of mirage of change is growing loud from Ibadan the heart of Yorubaland to Sokoto, the seat of the caliphate. The messianic "government of Change" as promoted by the APC appears to have become a government of Blame and confusion.

While I sympathise with Nigerians, particularly those that sincerely believed, campaigned and stood for General(now President) Muhammadu Buhari during the electioneering period, it is in my opinion that the man, Muhammadu Buhari and his party, APC showed all the signs of unpreparedness for leadership and governance all through the electioneering and even after taking office in May 2015.

9 Reasons Why Nigerian Polytechnics Are Better Than Universities

This is a counter thread to the thread: 9 Reasons Why Nigerian Universities are Better than Polytechnic: www.nairaland.com/2954796/9-reasons-why-nigerian-universities

Here are my own 9 Reasons why Nigerian Polytechnics are Better than Universities.

1. Easy of study: The polytechnic system is split into two programs; two years National Diploma (ND) and two years Higher National Diploma(HND) programs. Splitting the two program offers many people the chance to follow a step by step approach to education unlike the four or five year course duration in the university which is quite long and tiring. I have a boss, who after obtaining his ND, went to hustle, became an established CEO with what he has lent and came back for HND 7 years after.

Week twenty of the Russian military intervention in Syria: a ceasefire and yet another huge victory for Russia

This article was written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/russian-american-agreement-on-syria/

The recent agreement between the USA and Russia really solves nothing, it does not even end the war, and both sides are expressing a great deal of caution about its future implementation.  And yet, this is a huge victory for Russia.  While it is too early to say that “the Russian won in Syria”, I think that it is now fair to say that the Russian position on Syria has won.  Here is why:

First: nobody is suggesting anymore that Assad will be ousted or Damascus taken.  That, in turn, means that everybody has now recognized that Syrian Arab Republic, backed by Russia, has successfully repelled the aggression of the huge coalition the AngloZionists built to overthrow Assad.

Now Kerry Says If Ceasefire Fails He May Partition Syria

See one of the reasons mnay people dislike these politicians with passion, instead of using common sense, this is what got Nigeria mad the other time, that some crooks sat down thousand miles away from Liberia and were deciding the fate of the country. It's the reason Nigeria sent Soldiers to defend the Liberian rebel installed by U.S back in the day and when the bidding to loot the country got terrible, Clinton ordered Charles tailor to step down. It was when they decided to support the opposition forces Charles tailor suppressed that Nigeria stepped in to restore order in Liberia and this why most Liberians love Nigerians even more than any country I have been too.

Now Kerry Says If Ceasefire Fails He May Partition Syria
why?
Because, you know, God made him the owner of Syria

That's Western 'nation-building' and international law for you
