Biafra and Turkey relationship: Nigerians Blast Buhari for lobbying Turkish President with a perfunctory congratulatory message

Biafra and Turkey relationship: Nigerians Blast Buhari for lobbying Turkish President with a  perfunctory congratulatory message
The relationship currently being forged by Biafrans with the Turkish government has forced 'General' Muhammadu Buhari to send a hasty congratulatory message to the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his foresight in conducting a referendum where Turkish people were given the chance to make a change in their constitution. 

This ill-thought out message runs contrary to Buhari's vehement stance against a referendum for Biafra Republic or even calling for a Sovereign National Conference where Nigerians will be given the opportunity to decide their future.

Turkey uses ISIS as excuse to attack Kurds - Gatestone Institute

Turkey uses ISIS as excuse to attack Kurds - Gatestone Institute
  • It appears as if the Turkish government is using ISIS as a pretext to attack the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party).
  • Turkey just announced that its air base at Incirlik will soon be open to coalition forces, presumably to fight ISIS. But the moment Turkey started bombing, it targeted Kurdish positions in Iraq, in addition to targeting ISIS positions in Syria.

Systematic Islamist indoctrination in Turkey is becoming less stealthy.

Education is the new battlefield. Turkey's government is pushing to advance its declared policy goal of "raising devout (Muslim) generations."

In 2012, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD] released the findings of its prestigious education report, the "Program for International Student Assessment" [PISA], which experts view as the world's most comprehensive education survey. PISA assesses the extent to which 15-year-old pupils from 65 OECD member nations have acquired key knowledge and skills in mathematics, reading, science and problem-solving (the PISA survey covers 510,000 students worldwide.)

How to demonstrate allegiance: Instead of bombing ISIS Turkey bombs Kurds

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been quite reluctant to join or aid coalition forces fighting ISIS.
Turkish warplanes have bombed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targets near the country’s border with Iraq. The strikes highlight rising tensions in Turkey over Ankara’s perceived unwillingness to aid besieged Kurdish fighters in the Syrian town of Kobani.

The Turkish General Staff dispatched F-16 and F-4 jets to the southeastern village of Daglica in Hakkari province on Monday, the Turkish daily Hurriyet reports.
