Naptu2, I'm looking for a thread where you explained Lagos' stake in GAC motors. I'd really appreciate it if you can point me in the direction of the thread.

Thank you, naptu2. I found the links quite helpful.

jamejanev:
why are u crying? I am a Muslim and honestly, I am afraid of my religion which is Islam. I know what I'm saying and all my families are Muslims. I stayed in Qatar for more than 2 years and when I returned to Nigeria, i almost converted to Christianity because of bad experience I had there. To be frank, Islam is violent. My Yoruba call Islam" Imonle", Esin Alakatakiti". The meaning, a tough religion, a religion of no nonsense. What are u saying? How do u know that I'm not a Muslim? Islam tires me, majority of killings in the whole world today are done by Muslims. Do u want to deny it? I expect you to convince me and analyse the reason why I should not think that way. Instead, u start saying rubbish.

You don't have to prove anything to me. If you can't separate Islam and the politics of Saudi Arabia, that's not the fault of Islam. If you can't also separate Islam from Arabs, that's not Islam's fault. Islam teaches inclusion irrespective of race but it is a well known fact that Arabs are racist towards black folks. Again, how is that Islam's fault? If indeed you know Islam, you'll know that Islam is a religion of rules. In reference to this topic of beheading, Saudi Arabia has the death penalty for drug trafficking, same as Thailand and Malaysia. But people have problems now because it is Saudi Arabia that is involved. They didn't complain when Thailand executed some condemned prisoners years ago. Or is it the beheading that they have issues with? How is beheading, which is swift and painless by the way any different from firing squad or the electric chair?

You claim that majority of the killings in the world are carried out by Muslims. Do you mind proving that? Again, if you're linking Islam with the unrest in the Middle East, you're again making a mistake.

Back to your claim of not going for Hajj because of Saudi Arabia, it's amusing that you claim to be a Muslim but you assume going for Hajj means doing Saudi Arabia a favour or approving what their govt is doing. Going for Hajj is a religious rite that is mutually exclusive from the politics of Riyadh.

Westsida:


Hypocrisy! So Jesus would support drug trade?

LMAO. Leave them na. They think the world works without laws. In the real world, there are consequences for each action.

IJEYdiamond:
They are other punishment Saudi can serve on humanity... well what the do i know!!... The genesis of Isis... And The US.. hmmm.. Attacking IRAN with all it has got.. What a country..!!.. Isis homeland...

I hope you know that even in the US, there are some states that still have the death penalty. Also, I hope you know that beheading is even quick and painless unlike the other methods such as firing squad and hanging?

In Thailand and Malaysia, they have the death penalty for drug traffickers. If you believe a country should be lenient on a crime that they believe eats up their country, that's your issue.

osuofia2:
Omo Islam de scare me o, yet thousands go there in the name of Pilgrim spending our common wealth on the poo they are doing in mecca. Muslims are no 1 hypocrite, them ho de shout Saudi holy land but tell them to choose between Saudi and western country where freedom abound non go choose the their yeye holy land

No, you got the numbers wrong, princess. Millions go for pilgrimage and there's nothing you can do about it. And no, the money tey spend is not our commonwealth, it is their money and it is none of you business. If you or your belief think all sinners should go scot free, that's your problem but in Islamic jurisprudence, there are consequences for EVERY action. In countries like Saudi Arabia, their rules are well known. So if you break such rule, that's your fault.

I hope you keep this same energy for Thailand, Malaysia and some other Asian countries that have the death penalty for drug trafficking.

Or is your rage only limited to Saudi Arabia.

jamejanev:

I am a Muslim but the way Saudi and other Islamic countries are behaving tire me. I don't even think of going for Hadji for once. A country of no mercy. Even if ure innocent, they will still kill u. Its a pity, what do we do, when its the religion your parents are practising. Islam is violent to tell the truth.

If you're really a Muslim (which I highly doubt that you are), you'll know that going for Hajj has nothing to d with the authority of Saudi Arabia or other Islamic countries. It's strictly for religious purposes. Even in the midst of the row with Qatar, Qatar citizens still go to perform Hajj. Even though Saudi Arabia and Iran are foes, Iranians still go for pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. So oga, talk another thing.

So you mean to say that some of the people Saudi Arabia government have beheaded are innocent? What's your source of this? Careto give an example?

You can spew whatever you want to on Nairaland without claiming to be a Muslim, please. Others have been spewing such nonsense before you and others will continue to do so after you. Claiming you're a Muslim doesn't lend credence to your claim.

Olufemiolaolu:
Crude and barbaric method.

What makes it crude and barbaric? Hope you know it's actually swift and painless unlike execution by hanging, or firing squad or even the electric chair?

zionzoe:
Morals of your assertion...I pray that your seed have a taste of this words you take pride in describing above, amen.

I hope when it happens you will still be happy to make such Rhetorics?

Oga, after all is said and done, beheading is still the least painful of the execution methods listed above. It is swift and painless.

It's not a matter of whether his seeds will have a taste or not.

ajebuter:
Well, as some have stated, the man is doing a legitimate job....

However, from the point of view of morality, l wonder how he will feel if his head is at the receiving end of the lethal sword...

Psychology has it that you're worse at your professuon when you're at the receiving end...

Eg...Teachers are worse students...
Doctors and nurses are worse patients...
Executioners will definitely be worse death-row prisoners...

Anyway, what do l know?

Morality is subject to individual interpretation.

How do you think the person who administers the lethal injection in other countries will feel of he finds himself on the other side? There's absolutely nothing wrong in what the man is doing.

Edmaths:


Ironically, it's the least painful of all the methods of Execution.

Lethal injection is extremely painful! It gradually burns the victim alive from within! It takes several minutes for the victim to die.

Hanging is very painful! It kills the victim gradually.

Firing squad is terrible to the victim. It also kills the victim gradually.

Gas chamber is also very painful! It kills the victim gradually.

Electrocution is less painful when compared with lethal injection. However, it still more painful than beheading.

Leave them to be saying nonsense. They have no idea how the other methods of execution are. I guess they have not heard about the guillotine in the Napoleonic France.

Arysexy:
What a soul less and barbaric animal, I wish as he raise his hand with sword to strike, he misses target and cut off his leg. Animal!

How does this man sleep seeing blood gush out of severed heads and bodies?

Tufiakwaaaaaaaaa! Devil's son

He sleeps like a baby knowing he has done his job. I don't understand why you wish evil for a man who is just doing his legitimate job.

Hope you keep this same energy and prayer for the hangman and the one in charge of electric chairs and the one in charge of administering lethal injection in other countries though?

wallex1983:
May the executioner be executed soon

Why would you wish a man doing a legitimate job evil though? A court of law finds someone guilty and sentences him/her to death and the executioner carries out the court's orders. Where's the problem in that?

MrPENIS:
You called that job legitimate in yr left sense. Im not surprised though

Oh yes, it is a very legitimate job that the government pays him for. If you have an issue with it, that's your own problem.

His job isn't different from the hangman or the one who administers lethal injections in other societies.

MrPENIS:
Kil by d sword and also die by the sword
The executioner shall be executed
God willing by his son he has trained

Awww. No, that's not going to happen, princess! The man is doing a legitimate job which puts food on his table.

As long as he doesn't commit a crime that warrants execution, he will live a normal life.

Obi1kenobi:
Why is beheading any worse than other execution methods? If anything, it's the fastest and least painful. Imagine when America executed people in gas chambers where they convulse to death in agony, or electric chairs where thousands of volts of electricity is sent through their bodies, or by hanging where your neck is broken and you are strangled to death. How are those any more humane than beheading? The most popular method in the US now is lethal injection and often, this method which is supposed to be painless is botched and the cocktail of chemicals involved reacts with the body in ways that can be unpredictable creating a lot of excruciating pain and agony. Sometimes, the victims end up not even dying.

The only sensible objection to beheading is general objection to the death penalty.

It stems from the fact that a lot of those objecting beheading have not thought about it. It's quick and painless, unlike firing squad where the convict might not die immediately and have to be shot in the head thereafter or hanging, where the victim is on serious agony before he/she dies.

It's really fun and satisfying reading comments from folks berating something they can't change and is bigger than them.

Bring it on!

vingeophysicist:
Islam ,a religion for the insane mind.

Lmao. Would you have felt better if the convict faced a firing squad? Or if he/she is hanged?

Rollitout:
I don't support this style of execution, it is not Godly to kill in such manner

What's the 'godly' manner to execute a convict abeg?

gratiaeo:

'I get am before' still better pass ' I never get am before'.

Nbote:
Sore loser... U win some and lose some and atleast U shld b magnanimous in defeat... Same thing Mourinho did wen he was being questioned while he was at Man United..

So it wasn't disrespectful that Atleti fans boo him but it's disrespectful Ronaldo to retaliate by reminding them of how many UCL he's won.

You boo him, he shows you he's bigger than your club. Kpa kpa du kpa.

All is fair in life and war.

Wow! Nairaland truly misleads nowadays. Akin Alabi kicked off his campaign weeks ago. He did NOT kick it off today.

He merely tweeted some pictures today in solidarity with Buhari's Akwa Ibom campaign.

jabberjawz:
Mourinho is an overhyped coach.....if he can coach the likes of Dundee United without signing an A-List player & win the Champions league or at least get to the semi final.....then I will rate him as one of the G.O.A.T.

So you think that a man who has won the league in all the countries he has been to and has won the UCL twice with 2 clubs is overhyped?

Would you rather Pep leaves Man City to go and coach Dundee Utd before he's regarded as a great manager? Or maybe Ancelotti, Conte, Del Bosque, and other top managers should go coach Millwall FC before they're regarded as top managers.

habsydiamond:
did ur own Nigeria law place women as of equal level with men What am saying is they should pass out information to those that will value it not taking it to the market where people there won't understand their plight.

Isn't the market where the protest held where they are assaulted regularly? Would you rather they protested in VI or FESTAC?

What do you even mean by 'they should pass the message to those that will value it'? A group of uncouth men in a market are harassing ladies and those ladies took a protest to THAT market to express their displeasure and you say they should pass the message to those that will value it? Is it me that doesn't harass ladies that they should have come to?

Sotland:
Take a statistic of the number of Decent dressed ladies and the slay/indecent dressed ladies. I happen to ply yaba route very well back in the days and I can tell that the decent dressed ladies are rarely touched but the guys will always touch those slay/indecent dressed ladies to bully. This protest should start with them " Ladies stop Immoral/slay/indecent Dressing".. Before " Stop touching ladies" and infact it should be rephrased to[b] " Stop touch decent ladies"[/b]

Quick question, Oga! So if a lady dresses in bikini in public, does that give a guy the right to touch her without her permission? It's even insulting to think that men are seen as monsters without brains who can't keep his hands to himself and always looking for ladies to prey on.

But these traders have shown that they're monsters.

habsydiamond:
U are protesting, u come go market to do so...where 70% of people if not 80 there on daily basis are not educated and u want them to understand ur plights....thou the protest is irrelevant simply because Nigeria law does not support feminism but if u want to get a message across...also sort for the right place where educated fellows are to get the message clear and crystal.... Some ladies say.. but does feminism existed in the holy books.. cos I don't know where Una dey get Una own from

So you believe ladies asking not to be touched inappropriately isn't supported by Nigerian laws?

I really do not understand people's issues with feminism. A lady asked not to be groped and called demeaning names and all you think about is that 'Nigeria law does not support feminism'. If you think the protest was about feminism, yes it is because feminism preaches that ladies should have control over their bodies and not be touched without their permission. You should also know that it's their right to demand not to be touched inappropriately.

petrage:
Must you call a tribe in your comment? make reference to a person's character and not his race or ethnic leanings. BTW this protest is the dumbest have seen...The average Nigerian Woman is lacking in logic and this action of theirs says it all.

How you could condemn a sweeping generalisation and in the same sentence, make a sweeping generalisation is amusing.

You said the tribe of the accused should be left out yet you made a sweeping generalisation about Nigerian women.

ajl:
So some Nigerians are still going to flock to this country where the royal authorities have blood on their hands. A Saudi journalist was ordered killed and his body was dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Turkey by a killer squad sent by the royals. Holy land my foot.

That's because you need to separate religion from politics. Because the Crown Prince has done what he did doesn't mean he is supported by Islam and/or Muslims.

Going to Mecca for pilgrimage is a religious duty between your Lord and you and is not subject to what the anyone else does, whether ruler or not.

buJu234:



T.B Joshua Synagogue church is currently one of the highest generator of foreign income in the Tourism industry in Nigeria, why cant the sultan of sokoto do same with the big ancient mosque in Sokoto state?

Pilgrimage is a religious duty. So the Sultan can't just declare the Muslims should throng to Sokoto for a religious duty.

DedeNkem:


I don't care about Saudi Arabia (its leader recently slaughtered a journalist at its embassy in Turkey, for speaking up) and its religious pilgrimage nonsense.

My main concern is about Nigerian govt.'s involvement in any religious activity. It shouldn't be the responsibilty of our useless govt. to sponsor any religion!

It is about to spend, at least, 10K on each of these 95,000 islamic pilgrims which is ₦950,000,000! What a waste!

This money could be used in repairing many federal school buildings and equipping their science labs or repairing and equipping federal hospitals!

Religion should be a private stuff not a govt. thing. Nigeria is neither an Islamic State nor a Christian one!

While it's wrong for the government to use state funds to sponsor citizens for religious duties, know that majority of those going for the pilgrimage are NOT being sponsored by the government. More than 80% are going with their own money. So your claim about the govt spending money on 95,000 pilgrims is flawed.

DedeNkem:
Nigeria is a secular nation and should neither engage in or favor any particular religion!
Northerners are doing everything to make Nigeria Islamic and it won't work!

I hope you know that each country has their quota of pilgrims who can participate in the annual pilgrimage. It's a way the Saudi Arabia govt plans to accommodate and plan adequately for the millions who attend.

This has nothing with your claim about Northerners doing everything to make Nigeria Islamic.
