rushda29:

I think he was talking about Adam when he said forefathers.

ojinku: Hope his Palace will not used as a zonal branch office for Boko Haram Conglomerate PLC.

manny4life:

Which palace? Who dash him? He's a chief and not an Eze, so therefore he has no place for congregation. If fact, the council should strip him of his titles, including his red cap, beads everything that entitles him to that position.

ignis: This is not news. Do you know how many people in the
North who convert to Christianity everyday? Do you
know how many Muslims and Christians who convert to
Hindu in Europe everyday? A lot of people convert to
whatever they like everyday. We encourage it. It would
have been news if the Igbos kill him or attack him
because he converted to Islam. In fact we should give
the Igbos credit for tolarance. If a Muslim Chief convert
to Christianity in Hausa/Fulani land, just imagine what
will happen?

mimifonwon: .. "this man is confused, second his attributing ALLAh as AlA maybe a deity his ancestors worshiped. And yes islam was in africa before christianity came, but this man is wrong by calling it the religion of his ancestors, - islam and christianity are both borrowed religions, not any of our traditional religions, btw, did you know Allah is a hedonistic diety that mohammed stole from a tribe he conquered, Allah is not the same as the Christian or jewish God, we christian just think so for sake of peace..-you know sometimes old age can be sickness "- by my mom- it cracked me up, but is not wrong to practice another religion just dont use the excuse that it was the religion of your ancestors. I have heard judaic practicing igbos claim they are jewish, now this guy wants to claim his ancestors are muslim, there is nothing i will never hear from my igbo people. I still love yall..muah!!

PAGAN 9JA:



the same should be done to all christian rulers.

anyone who accepts foreign religions should be stripped nak.ed down to the very skin and bone.

Pace$etter:

No on left path...so dumb

uplawal: Whoever Allah guides no one can misguide,truth stands is clear,remaining my father to revert insha Allah my father will not die a keferi amen.

manny4life:

Well unfortunately, that cannot happen because even your paganism is foreign as well.

PAGAN 9JA:



we are descended from apelike ancestors. adam and eve dont exist. they exist...................only in your imagination.

PAGAN 9JA:



please explain. how so?

you mean it is from outer space?

Maple: Translation of Suratul Maryam (Chapter of Mary) from the Holy Quran


In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate


1. Kaf- Ha-Ya-'Ain-Sad.

2. This is an account of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakariya (Zachariah).

3. When he called out his Lord (Allah) a call in secret,

4. Saying: "My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble, and grey hair has spread on my head, And I have never been unblest in my invocation to You, O my Lord!

5. "And Verily! I fear my relatives after me, since my wife is barren. So give me from Yourself an heir,

6. "Who shall inherit me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Ya'qub (Jacob) (inheritance of the religious knowledge and Prophethood, not the wealth, etc.). And make him, my Lord, one with whom You are Well-pleased!".

7. (Allah said) "O Zakariya (Zachariah)! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will be Yahya (John The Baptist). We have given that name to none before (him)."

8. He said: "My Lord! How can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have reached the extreme old age."

9. He said: "So (it will be). Your Lord says; It is easy for Me. Certainly I have created you before, when you had been nothing!"

10. [Zakariya (Zachariah)] said: "My Lord! Appoint for me a sign." He said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak unto mankind for three nights, though having no bodily defect."

11. Then he came out to his people from Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room, etc.), he told them by signs to glorify Allah's Praises in the morning and in the afternoon.

12. (It was said to his son): "O Yahya (John The Baptist)! Hold fast the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)]." And We gave him wisdom while yet a child.

13. And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy (or a grant) from Us, and pure from sins [i.e. Yahya (John)] and he was righteous,

14. And dutiful towards his parents, and he was neither an arrogant nor disobedient (to Allah or to his parents).

15. And Salamun (peace) be on him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up to life (again)!

16. And mention in the Book (the Qur'an, O Muhammad , the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east.

17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibrael (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.

18. She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah."

19. (The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."

20. She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"

21. He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).' "

22. So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).

23. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"

24. Then [the baby 'Iesa (Jesus)] cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not! Your Lord has provided a water stream under you;

25. "And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you."

26. "So eat and drink and be glad, and if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.'"

27. Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariya (an unheard mighty thing).

28. "O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron) [not the brother of Musa (Moses), but he was another pious man at the time of Maryam (Mary)]! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman."

29. Then she pointed to him. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

30. "He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;"

31. "And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and Zakat, as long as I live."

32. "And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.

33. "And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"

34. Such is 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute).

35. It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is.

36. ['Iesa (Jesus) said]: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)."

37. Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Iesa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).

...Read the Holy Quran translation for the continuation of this chapter.

You wanna know what the Holy Quran says about the prophets in the bible, about compulsion in religion, the creation of the Universe, Creation of Man, day of resurrection, about Women (btw, their's a chapter dedicated to Women in the Quran, its called Suratul Nisa), marriage and divorce,about Christains, Jews, and other religions?

There's no better weapon for Christains to have to "fight " the Muslims, than understanding what their holy book (Quran) says. How else can you even defeat your "enemy", if you choose not to understand what his/her holy book says?

Please, pick up an English Quran and at the back there's a comprehensive index on almost any topic that may boggle your mind.

PAGAN 9JA:


yes i agree. all it talks about is killing us Pagans.

manny4life:


Well, the onus is on you to tell us how Christianity and Islam are foreign religion, then I'll tell you how and why it's foreign.

PAGAN 9JA:


christianity and islam are not the indigenous religion of our tribes. both are middle-eastern religions.


The religion of Igbos is Odinani, the Religion of Hausa is Maguzawa/Boori, the religion of Yorubas is Ifa-Orisha, etc. .

Walexz02:
U just keep saying Quran preaches killing, why please? I knew u must have the Quran and u knew what it preaches. And let me explaing to you something which it seems u dont underrtand about the Quran, each verse in the Quran has it specific purpose of coming down, the particular verse that says the prophet(pbh) should attack the pagans was meant particularly for the arab pagans who chase the prophete(pbh) out of mekka( his fathers land), and upon that the prophete (pbh) did not kill any of them, because again, the Quran says: if he(the prophete (pbh)) can forgive them, then it is better...
So, please judge Islam by the Quran and not other way round.

brentkruge: Is conversion to Islam sooooo few and far in between that a convert is reported in THE NATIONAL dailies? Hmmmmmm.

I hope that whenever Chief Sylvester chooses to convert to Hinduism from Islam, some folks will not want to separate his head from his body.

And, fortunately, he wouldnt face jail time as converts from Islam do in places like Malaysia, Iran, Saudi, Pakistan etc

manny4life:

I cannot speak of Islam because I don't really care about a religion of pieces, but you said Christainity was a religion of the Middle-East?

Nwanna, gwa mu okwu.. Hmm, all my Christian life, I have never heard of this... Nna bros, kowashiate
