<span style="font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.66667;">But this belief -- decried as "devil worship" by ISIS -- has been used by the Islamic extremists to justify murder, enslavement and rape.</span></div>

In ISIS territory, Yazidi women can be bought and sold for money, bartered for weapons, even given as a gift; but this is not a simple commercial transaction -- ISIS has made rape and slavery part and parcel of its -- brutal -- theology.</div>

In its online English magazine, Dabiq, ISIS lays out its justification for its brutality against the Yazidis on religious grounds:</div>

"Enslaving the families of the kuffar [unbelievers] and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah [Islamic law] that if anyone were to deny or mock, he would be denying or mocking the verses of the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet."</div>

"The people of ISIS don't represent Islam at all. In fact, if anything, they are anti-Islam," says London-based Imam Ajmal Masroor. "They have hijacked Islam. They have denigrated Islam. They have desecrated it."</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;">In the general public’s opinion, there is still a difference between people from Africa and the African #American. Slavery which lasted more than four centuries definitely annihilated the autochthons and played a major role in the spiritual schism between these distant relatives. The massive and industrial deportation of hundred thousands of people treated and traded like cattle in America and the Caribbean forced them to build a new identity in order to accommodate but especially to survive in their whole new environment.</span></h1>

<span style="font-family: Constantia, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: 0.5in;"> This was more so when suit was achieved without any bloodshed as
in reminiscence with some countries, there were also great expectations from
Nigerians that with the business of governance now in the hands of their
leaders, the administration of the country would be better handled and the entire
socio-economic landscape of the country would be transformed for the better.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Constantia, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">          In this
regards, prominent Nigerians were already at the cockpit ready to ply the new
Nigeria to it highest level, this included leaders like: <span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Chief Obafemi Awolowo</span>,
<span style="background-color: orange;">Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe</span>, <span style="background-color: #f1c232;">Sir Abubakah Tafawa Balewa</span>, <span style="background-color: #e06666;">Sir. Ahmadu Bello</span> and several
other eminent Nigerian leaders, when the baton did change hand, those leaders
along with others had lofty ideas which if implemented would’ve immediately
elevated Nigeria to the highest level in the committee of nations, these
includes free education at all level, the fostering of Nigerian unity, cultural
reformation, infrastructural development and more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However, most regrettably, these prominent Nigerians
permitted primordial concept to creep into their vision and destroyed their
sense of patriotism and focus on good governance initiatives,<b><i><span style="color: red;"> tribalism, greed,
corruption and squad media overcrowded their vision which eventually got
extinguished</span></i></b>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The situation was fueled by the era of the oil boom when Nigeria
earned more money than it could profitably and meaningfully utilize; that was
when a political analyst in one nearby country made a statement, claiming that
“Nigeria's problem was not money but how to spend it” All these negative
tendencies ushered in discontents, disunity and civil strives culminating in an
unfortunate civil war which set the pace of development backed several steps.
The after shock of the civil war is still being felt in Nigeria till today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Constantia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> It’s therefore inconsequence of this misleading that there has been a
sustainable clamor for the emergence of politicians with good leadership
qualities to plot the affairs of the country and erase the fortune of the
nation from the present dept of socio-economic as well as political fabric.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stated earlier were a direct result of poor leadership placing the wrong people

the (Giant of Africa) to become unfortunately a sleeping giant thus enabling
other less endowed country to overtake Nigeria in developmental achievement,
this replicated the tale of the –hare and the tortoise, where tortoise won the

emergence of some leaders with good leadership qualities who are now trying to
inject some changes into the nation’s developmental momentum; the voices of
these groups have been heard across the country which becomes lauder everyday.
It is an acceptable fact that changes is not achieved through complexity or
sycophancy by those who desire such change but under active participation in
the movement for change through various legitimate avenues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

demonstrated elements of change in their leadership activities should be
commended which in turn will inspire others to emulate and serve as
encouragement for greater successes. All efforts should be geared to supporting
the present administration in the country to sprout the needed change that

Since the destruction of the twin towers in New York, USA, efforts have been made to investigate the cause of that ill-conceived attack on the World Trade Centre by the George Bush administration. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
President Obama has also not relented in this regard. This has led to beefing up security in the United States and extending it beyond their borders.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 America stands today as the most advanced nation on earth and in that capacity has employed all means to ensure the experience of 9/11 is not repeated. It is a thousand pities that there is no battlefield solution to terrorism, if so, Americans would have long rooted out it from their land.

Long after the 9/11 attack, there have also been other terror-linked attacks in the United States calling to mind the botched attempt by a certain man to detonate a shoe bomb aboard American Airlines Flight 63 on December 23, 2001. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In September the following year, US security operatives for providing material support to al-Qaeda arrested six Yemeni-Americans. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another terror plot was foiled in 2010 when a Nigerian went to Yemen and got radicalized and on return attempted to blow up an American Airliner over Detroit on Christmas day.

In Western Europe there have been many terrorist attacks before the sensational assault on Charlie Hebdo in the French capital of Paris early this year. Taking a cursory glance at Terrorism Database in Europe such countries as Britain, Switzerland, Spain, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Norway, Sweden and Belgium have fallen prey to terror-linked attacks.

Further glance at Global Terrorism Database has more to tell us about terror attacks as of 2014 in other countries around the world namely Australia, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen , Somalia, Cameroon, Libya, Syria, Lebanon and Nigeria. From the foregoing there is no restating the obvious that terrorism has become a global problem.

What has terrorism cost the world if one may ask? There is no denying the fact it has set the world back in terms of human and huge material resources. In Nigeria, Boko Haram that is fighting to actualize a sovereign Islamic state has destroyed West Africa, many lives and property in the northeastern of the country. Over 20,000 people have been killed since the insurgency.

In Iraq, terror attacks resulting in flight from the country indeed changed the country’s demography. Large-scale destruction of human lives has continued with undiminished intensity. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Syria has been fighting a civil war from which a dreaded Islamist terror group ISIS eventually emerged. In Somalia, the Al-Shabab has been fighting for God-knows-why: Reports say the latter with Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to ISIS. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The circulation of cultural values across national borders remains one of the root causes which sparks off resistance especially when this is fundamentally opposed to the tenets of their religious beliefs and practices. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 False doctrines and teachings should equally be discouraged. Many people are often led astray by the cloudy and ambiguous nature of some theological philosophies. False doctrines bring about extremism and fanaticism. In many places of worship, the contents of the Holy Writ are often misinterpreted to suit a particular sect’s selfish interest. The writer has repeatedly heard that Islamist Jihadists are told in the event of death while fighting in the cause of Allah one is guaranteed a one-way ticket to Paradise.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is an urgent need for this falsehood to be debunked by respected Islamic clerics via enlightenment lectures, seminars and discussions because here is the place where young men and women who have barely enough to eat to keep body and soul together are often indoctrinated.

Unemployment reduces people to pawns.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 <u><i>An idle mind , is the devil’s workshop</i></u>. When people are busy and earning money to better their lots the propensity for violence would be reduced.

Corruption creates conditions that are favourable for terrorism. Misappropriation of government funds by political leaders in third world often creates hardship for the people.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 We see ostentatious display of wealth by money stolen from the public till thus reducing the citizens to thrive in dirty surroundings.
Tackling the increasing threat of global terror is a collective responsibility. The campaign must start from places of worship to deradicalise some religious faithful who have been brainwashed by terror masterminds. Governments play pivotal role in this by retaining the services of clerics to educate adherents on the dangers of false doctrines, belief and religious practices.</div>

Ready for the rager! #Miley Cyrus out did herself at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 30. The host of the evening turned heads in a crazy silver dress!

The “Wrecking Ball” singer, 22, barely covered her nipples in a silver buckle-strap bodice in a head-to-toe look by Atelier Versace. The pre-show outfit also included a bejeweled skirt (that showed her bum!), knee-high metallic boots, and a unicorn-themed clutch.

To top it off, Cyrus swept her dark blonde locks up in a high ponytail with the help of glittery hair accessories. At one point, she posed with her family on the red carpet and gave her dad,Billy Ray Cyrus, a big hug.

Cyrus’ look is pretty tame as compared to her look earlier on Sunday. The star moseyed over to her bathroom mirror to take a naked selfie shortly after waking up .

As previously reported,Cyrus - who made headlines for her foam finger-loving 2013 VMAs performance with Robin Thicke - has free rein when it comes to the star-studded show Sunday.
“Obviously there are standards and various other things that were always a part of it, but no, [no rules],” executive producer Garrett English told Entertainment Weekly. “It never comes from a place of trying to limit the range, it’s always coming from a place of trying to open up the full palate.
