◆will they give food when they're on their
fasting


Though as for me Regardless of your religions as long as you're good I will like you.

The best experience I have ever had in life. I was recommended to a Muslim professor from my Department in the university in the mid-1980s. They were three brothers each having his own Business. My Master was the eldest. I don't want to mention his name, because it's a popular Muslim family in Yorubaland. A few days after I started work (I was living in the premises like a member of the family) the haemorrhoids (piles) I had been nursing from my university days got burst. Instead of sending me away as a new worker, this great man had me admitted in LUTH and I was operated on. He cautioned that I shouldn't tell any of my people, not even my twin brother. He saw me through the illness. He wouldn't allow me to go back to work until I was totally healed.
At the end of about four years, he got me fixed up in another job, which has remained my profession since 1989. Earlier, he had sent me on a training.
When I was about to do my wedding in 1994, this great man bought clothes for me and my fiancee from London(he had a personal home in London).
Lest I forget. He came to my new workplace(I had left him then) in 1990 and told me that he would be going to London. I told him that I needed a VHS video player. He bought it for me for £250 pounds. I still have the receipt. It was an Hitachi Front Loader.
Earlier in 1987, whilst I was still with him, he would be going to Switzerland. He bought for me a colour television, called SABA, 99 channels.
It's remarkable that all of us working for these brothers were Christians. Never was anyone discriminated against!
I don't want to mention his name. He died in February 2001 at 83 years. He's from Egbaland while I'm from Ekiti. I wept my eyes out at his death.
If you do not believe this story, it shows how far down Nigeria has gone. It's a true life story and God knows that I do not have anything to gain by lying at my time of life. I'll be 64 years old in November, by His grace.
Interestingly, I wasn't the only one this great man did a good turn for. I've heard many stories told about his generosity. May God preserve the soul of Professor S. O. B.
That Muslim is not a bad man, just as that Christian too is a good man. Most of our mutual suspicions were engendered by the politicians. I'm a born again Christian and Professor S. O. B. did not at any time put me to scorn. I still enjoy the fact of my affiliation with him to this day and I'm still in touch with members of the family. What I said about him was just a little of the love he showed me.
I wish I could tell you more, but I'm preparing my Biography, to be published by my personal publishing firm later. The man introduced me to publishing. I WILL never forget that great man. My prayers is that whoever are named with him this side of Eternity shall never beg to eat, IJN.

Kokaine:
if you meet practicing ones who have knowledge of the sunnah and hadith. You may end up joining Islam out of love for them. The empathy, justice, mercy, kindness and thoughtfulness. You will experience working Islam and be surprised by how different the media painted it.

Sheuns:
Make una Dey leave all these unnecessary matters. There are thousands of Muslims working for Christians in Nigeria and vice versa.

As for the fasting thing. Muslims do not force anyone to fast. Not even their children or family. I’m talking from my own family perspective. You will be allowed to eat during fasting periods.

kissdabride:
Don't try to eat in the north during fasting they stone you to death

fatymore:
Some are even trying to shove down their religious views down our throat on this thread


Simple thread, you don dey preach

I remembered when I was in secondary school, my CRK teacher would always want to force me to attend her class, she says Islam doesn't fits me, a whole Amirah of a Public school

ekestic1976:


Yeah. The GREATEST Nigerian ever. May God send Divine helper to you, bros.

77star:

Was this not Professor Solihu B.?
I used to hear this name and his good deeds

ekestic1976:


No! Never heard about that person.

NEIGHBOUR:

From my little experience, even though i'm a Christian, i find Muslims more compassionate to work with.
With Muslims, you know where he or she stands on any issue but my Christian brothers eh. May God help us.
Even daddy GO of RCCG years back ssid he preferred giving camp construction contracts to Muslims instead of his members because of trust issues.

Nickymichy:
Am working for them as i speak... infact i prefer to work for them than any pastor or any GO for that matter...the problems with we Nigerians is that we don't know our boundaries.. respect is a reciprocal.. when you know their dis and don't....and you do the needful, I don't think there will be any problem.

PasswordChanger:
Wen I dey young I went to carry rental chairs in a Muslim house, I jus called JESUS...don't no what happen dat I said it..


Den one of his children told me dat dey don't mention dat name in dis compound.

Op, I pray it won't end in premium tears

77star:

I mean professo Solihu Biobaku?

jomoh:
No Muslim family will ever stop you from going to church nor refuse to give you food cos they’re fasting but don’t expect them to go out of their way to make you food while they’re fasting. They won’t stop you from accessing their foods if you had access to it prior to fasting.

You’re only expressing fear of what you know most Christians do to Muslims working under them.

This is like a predator walking into the territory of the prey thinking he’d be treated same way preys are treated by his fellow predators.

I worked for a core muslim man from the north. I rose from supervisor to a manager before I resigned.

I was his brain and hammer. I made money for him. I was honest to a fault. Well, he never trusted me cus he felt I was too intelligent to be trusted. I proved him wrong. I was always ahead of him like a chess grandmaster.

Las las he bought a car for me and later collected it. (Someday I will open a thread on d topic). The managers of the other brances began to snitch, because I was out-performed them.And then He started to listen and believe them; acting accordingly, then I quit.

Back to it topic
Anyways, if you work for them, all they need is ur trust and loyalty. Slavish loyalty. You remained a servitor to a leidge. Once you give them that that loyalty...you got them. LOYALTY IS A BURDEN.

Unfortunately, this man is a sunni muslim and a fanatics. I am a cosa nostra. So we mind our business.

If you're ready to sacrifice ur personality, go and work for them. A muslim man will make u feel that they're nice and honest but they're the worst hypocrite.

Feeding and tips is not their headache. They do that but guy, if u dare show them that you're intelligent and want to be rationale, they'll ridicule you. I'm talking about Hausa muslim. These are things that dull people don't know. Dull people don't dig deep. Give them job and daz all.

CharisEleos:


How is he a religious bigot for trying to understand his working environment.? Or must he practice their religion because he's working for them?
Can you do it?

You people should try and get the message of a post before judging the poster.

All the Ops' wants to be sure of is, if his employers are not going to force their religious practices on him since he's not of the same religion as them and it's not out of place for him to ask because religious differences sometimes could pose a problem and clashes on the job in the long run hence the need to ask to avoid any future brouhaha.

So he needs to know if it's better not to even take up the job.
He's not saying he cant work with a Muslim. Therefore he's not a religious bigot.
