For the people who are throwing stones at Islam...
This has nothing to do with Islam, but rather the inefficiency and ineptitude that we have all come to expect from Nigerians, of whatever creed or belief. It is a reflection of the greater problems that pervade our societies.

The title of the post says it all. Nigerians are amongst the most impatient people around and even something as simple as waiting another day before celebrating Eid is a tall order. It reminds me of a character in the Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence film Life. His name was "Can't Get Right."

What a funny country.
Were did the moon come from?

Right here ladies and gentlemen is the reason why muslims were the first to discover and master astronomy and build navigation tools like the magnetic compass while europeans were busy forbidding scientific research cuz they thought it involved magic(which europeans of greek descent later came and learned from noble muslim universities like the Al Azhar in cairo which is the first university on earth)

The more they show their arrogance towards islam, the more i show you why we were the first and best in fields of alcemy(chemistry), medicine, electric power(the baghdad battery), gardening(the world famous hanging gardens of babylon), Astronomy e.t.c And thats all the more reason why we should hold firmly to islam, never compromise it, never abandon it

I must thank the Sultan for his dedication to Sunnah because:

People saw the new moon in Nigeria and non-Muslims who have no vested interest agree that it could be sighted on the night of Saturday, July 26, 2014.
This is my source: check the date for new moon in July http://www.moongiant.com/Full_Moon_New_Moon_Calendar.php

The Prof. did not do his research well.

The new moon is a geographical phenomenon that can be studied and observed by anyone regardless of belief.

We in Nigeria follow local sightings as announced by the Sultan on Saturday night. We are not held hostage by computer algorithms that will still be modified. Like I posted earlier, the Sultan is right and Professor Oloyede's claim that the new moon could not be sighted on Saturday night has hereby being found to be incorrect by a team of neutral observers who observe new moons and full moons based on the same science he was quoting.

Boy sharrrrap!
You need a thorough spiritual check-up!

For you to have made such a trashy and useless assertion that we serve the same God implies how spiritually ignominious and bankrupt you are!

You are a profound disgrace to your pastor, church and body of Christ at large!

You need to tender an apology for that unbiblical stand of yours!

Nonsense! This how people like you sow seeds of confusion.

Please endeavour to see your pastor, if he worths hearing!

The website you quoted actually aligns with the Prof. and thr moon sighting committee.

Go read up difference between the ' Astronomical New Moon' and the 'Hilal' i.e. first crescent or Earthly New Moon.

What muslims look out for is the crescent as the 'New Moon' is not visible as at when it is born.

reading this thread I see so much ignorance by muslims on something so important to Islam.

Unbelievably we muslims unequivocally condemn boko haram for attacking education and its institutions yet the same muslims find it convenient to crucify science on the alter of searching for the Hilal.

There is much around this topic and its just crazy that people talk of it out of pure ignorance

I wonder why non-Muslims here have suddenly become judge or hang-man for what does not concern them. Please refer to Colossians 2:16, no matter what a person believes we need to show respect to such before proferring sound reasonings against such believe.

Thanks for the source. What many do not understand is that new moon appears every 28 days after revolving round the earth. During this moment the moon may line up between the earth and the sun which may not be visible in certain parts of the earth until almost 24 hours. Aside these lunar cycles, other planetary bodies have significant impact to some daily/monthly/yearly activities especially when they are in aspect with each other or with the moon.

the bolded part proves that the Hilal will not.be visible on Saturday here in Nigeria so what in Allah's name did the sighters see.

Hence the term Astronomical New Moon.

Nigeria even claimed to have.sighted the.Hilal even.before this.new moon was born.

Jeez, dont you guys get it. The claimed sighting is fundamentally incorrect.

The Book of Hebrews is one of the highly used Books among Christians.  I hear references from it a lot when listening to Christians preaching. Yet, no one really knows who wrote it!.  This is quite ironic, because Christians use such highly doubtful books in their teachings as if they were the True Living Words of GOD Almighty.  I don't care what you call this, but I call it blasphemy, because it is the most ridiculous insult to GOD Almighty and His Holy Words that I have ever seen.

I just hope you see the real cheap quality in the religion of Christianity, with all my respect due to every Christian reader.

SAY NO TO CHRISTIANITY!

Embrace Islam, the religion of The One True Living Undivided GOD Almighty, and you will be saved! 

The Gospel of John:

"The author is the apostle John, 'the disciple whom Jesus loved' (13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7, 20,24). He was prominent in the early church but is not mentioned by name in this Gospel--which would be natural if he wrote it, but hard to explain otherwise."  (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1588)

They claimed that it was John who wrote the Gospel, but yet, his name was not signed on his Gospel! How is it possible for us to be absolutely sure that it was indeed John who wrote the so called "Gospel of John" when "his name is not mentioned in this Gospel" so we can then take it as a 100% True Error-free Word of GOD Almighty?

SAY NO TO CHRISTIANITY!

Embrace Islam, the religion of The One True Living Undivided GOD Almighty, and you will be saved! 

The Gospel of 1 John:

"....Unlike most NT letters, 1 John does not tell us who its author is.  The earliest identification of him comes from the church fathers..." (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1904)

"The letter is difficult to date with precision..." (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)

This is really ironic! with all respect due to Christians.  If the Book's author is not for sure known, then why assume that it was Saint John who wrote it?

The verse 1 John 5:7 was later discovered to be a Satanic lie.  The Roman Catholic Theologians don't believe in it, and it doesn't exist in their Bibles.

The same case where no author is really known exists in the Gospels of 2 and 3 John.

SAY NO TO CHRISTIANITY!

Embrace Islam, the religion of The One True Living Undivided GOD Almighty, and you will be saved! 

The Book of Revelation:

"Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1,4,9; 22:cool.....In the third century, however, an African bishop named Dionysius compared the language, style and thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with that of the other writings of John and decided that the book could not been written by the apostle of John."   (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1922)

Again, we don't know who wrote the Book of Revelation.  It is certainly highly doubtful that it was written by Apostle John.  The Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible seem to agree with the invalidity of this book from the above quote.  So are you now going to consider the other John's words as the Words and Inspirations of GOD Almighty?

Notice that in the sections of "Gospel of John" and "Gospels of 1, 2 & 3  John" above, the author did not identify himself and it was ASSUMED without actual proofs that it was Saint John who wrote them.  Notice how they said that if he were to identify himself, then it would be hard for them to explain it.

Now, notice the author in the Book of Revelation does identify himself as John, but he has a complete different language and style of writing from the other books, which created much uncertainty about its validity in the Church.

My questions here are:  Who wrote the Books?  And is or is not Saint John supposed to identify himself in his books?  And where are his books that have his name on them?
