this war will be won when the presidency decides to put M16 or an AK47 in the hands of our general officers and order them to lead assaults personally. thats when they will realise d thru meaning of brotherhood when under d hail of bullets: not only must u be equipped, ur fellows soldiers must also be if u dnt wanna die alone.
only then will we see a well equipped, well-paid, motivated, efficient and highly effective nigerian army.

what sum1 sent to me:
If you received any message about salt in warm water preventingEbola and you believed and spread that message, here are somesmall 'tips' for you:1. Kindly go to your university, polytechnic orcollege of education and return your degree certificate2. Also please ensure you refund ALL the fees your parents paid for you. 3. And if you've not been to any school, don't bother to wasteyour time, money and resources because it won't make anydifference.

i tnk ds says it all

ShehuAba: Please where is the sultan speaking on the issue here again. Stop making hasty conclusions please. I think it is better we read and analyze a report very well before concluding.

NB: just saw ur other post. now seen ur stance. Allah knws best

mahleeq: I posted a picture on this thread and I personally took that picture in lagos on the 29th day of June 2014, which is suppose to be the second day of ramadan. it will be very unusual to see a crescent that is a day old in Lagos.
we started fasting on that very Saturday that the moon was sighted. The truth is wether we like it or not those of us in places like lagos may never get to see an day old crescent in a life time and all we can do is to rely on dependable Authorities to put us through, I can remember while growing up, I was used to hearing awon hausa ma bere loni awa ma bere lola ( Hausas will start today while we will start tomorrow) and by the time the crescent would finally appear it will be so obvious that the crescent is atleast 3days old and its just our own first day of ramadan, most times we ended up with 27-28days of fasting and that is exactly what is happening in Saudi now,
it should not be a Freud thing, the guidelines are there and whoever takes advantage of it then, its between such a fellow and Allah.

Eid Mubarak.

hmmmmm, i'm not faulting the fact dt d sultan chose not to follow scientific evidence or saudi. however some things are still wrong.
1) there is an islamic ruling on witnessing. this was invoked in india when one team out of four moonsighting teams claimed dey saw d moon. d majority stance was invoked. in nigeria, none of the 24 MSC members spread across d nation saw it, yet........
2) when such a claim was made, y didnt he consult wt d MSC b4 making the pronouncement, at least he trusted dem enuff to appoint dem
3) it is quite common dt two consecutive lunar month are never of d same lenght. its usually 29d, 30d, 29d, etc. shaban was 29 if we assumed dt saturday we started was really first of Ramadan.
anyway dts nw in d past and we shud luk ahead and find means of averting such.
NB: i liked ur post by d way. and pls pay back the fast u missed on sunday. the Sultan has spoken on d issue again.
may Allah accept it as an act of ibadah and save us from the torment of His wrath both on earth and the day of accountability

The palace of Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar has now
admitted that the Sultan made a mistake by
announcing the end of Ramadan based on
claims by some Nigerian Muslims that they
sighted the new moon of Shawwal on Saturday
night.
The result of the joint moonsighting exercise
undertaken by the Sultanate Moon Sighting
Committee and the Nigerian National
Moonsighting Committee on Sunday clearly
showed that the monarch erred in the
pronouncement he made on Saturday
prematurely terminating the Ramadan fast in
Nigeria.
The Sultan, who is also the President of the
Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs
[NSCIA], commissioned the joint moonsighting
investigation after his Saturday call triggered
controversy, with some of the nation’s
foremost clerics as well as the Secretary
General of the NSCIA, Is-haq Oloyede, openly
questioning his judgment.
The result of the investigation, also endorsed
by the Sultan’s representatives, was
unambiguous: The claim that the moon was
sighted on Saturday was questionable as it was
impossible for anyone to see the moon
anywhere in the world at that time.
The committee carried out its assignment
between 6:45PM and 7:45PM on Sunday.
The report of the joint committee, compiled by
Usman Mahmud, a research officer with the
National Moon Sighting Committee, reads in
part:
“I write to inform you that we (the National
Moon Sighting Committee) and the Sultanate
Moon Sighting Committee went to the Sighting
of Moon today (Sunday, July 27, 2014).
“The moon was not sighted with naked eye or
with telescope and binocular. However, we
used some programmes and software
applications like Skymap, Stellarium and
Virtual Moon to get the details of the moon.
“The details of the Moon are: Age: 19H (hour)
05M(minutes); Hour Angle/DE:04H 45M 11S
(seconds)/ +12 21’11′; Distance between sun
and moon: 3.5′.”
Experts say the result of the investigation
suggested that the Sultan erred by declaring
the end of Ramadan and beginning of Shawwal
even when a new moon had not been born.
“It was a big error,” said Sheikh Abdulrazaq
Ishola, a member of the Moonsighting
Committee Worldwide, who himself was at the
AlBayrouny Observatory in Mecca that
Saturday in search of the moon. “The (Sultan’s)
announcement embarrassed Nigeria all over
the world because in no other place was such
ridiculous claim of sighting the moon on
Saturday made.
“How can anyone claim that he saw the moon
even when conjunction of the moon and the
sun had just taken place? That is impossible. In
any case, where should we ask people to find a
moon that had not been born?”
Mr. Ishola explained that after conjunction
takes place, (which he said occurred at 11:47
PM on Saturday), it usually takes about 17
hours for the moon to be sighted with a
telescope and between 18 and 23 hours to be
visible to the naked eye.
“What happened in Nigeria is disrespect to
Islam and Muslims,” the cleric, who is also a a
member of the Abu Dhabi-based Islamic
Crescent Observatory Project, said. “We are in
the 21st century, yet we are still living in the
past in Nigeria.”
Sultan Abubakar had around midnight on
Saturday announced the sighting of the new
moon and therefore the end of Ramadan,
making Nigeria the only country in the world
which celebrated Eid on Sunday.
“The new month of Shawwal was sighted in
different places within Nigeria and therefore
tomorrow (Sunday) is the first day of Shawwal
equivalent to 27 July 2014,” the Sultan said in
an announcement aired on the Nigerian
Television Authority [NTA].
But when contacted after the Sultan’s
announcement, the Secretary-General of the
organisation, Is-haq Oloyede, a professor of
Islamic Studies, told PREMIUM TIMES he was
not aware the moon had been sighted.
“I spoke to the Sultan about four times tonight
(Saturday) and he did not tell me that the
moon has been sighted,” Mr. Oloyede told
PREMIUM TIMES. “In any case, any such claim
is ridiculous and unscientific. It cannot be
right.
“The National Moon-Sighting Committee has
not informed us of any credible sighting of the
moon. Rather, they said the moon wasn’t
sighted. The new moon was only born at 11:45
P.M. tonight (Saturday) and it will take several
hours for it to be sighted.
“Is our own sky different? Is our own moon
manufactured in Nigeria?” he said.
Mr. Oloyede’s comment sparked controversy in
Nigeria. While some Muslim faithful broke their
fast following the Sultan’s announcement,
others (especially in the South-West region)
proceeded to fast on Sunday and only
celebrated Eid-El-Fitri on Monday.

nigeria and their politics. y shud we start or end ramadan alone just to prove dt we are not following saudi? y was dia no report from any of the imams in south-south, south-east and south-west dt d moon has been sighted? y are dey keeping silent( to allow d sultan bear d burden alone if he's wrong?) where is nigeria on d globe dt makes her d first to see d crescent all d time? y hasnt Niger, ghana, cameroon or chad declare today as eid? the sky is clearer in algeria, tunisia and egypt( afterall dey are in d desert and roughly d same timezone) y was dia no report from dem? are we really dt unique? and for those willing to follow d sunnah( of following d local leaders) then, d sultan does not qualify as such unless u live in sokoto. based on dictates, u av to wait until d imam in ur town declares d moon sighted. if a lagosian cant use d reports from benin republic, he definitely shudnt use dt of sokoto.( it amounts to using technology to find d moon cos u avnt sighted it locally but learnt thru electronic media dt it was sighted hence u biliv urs must av crescent too). if u check d statement released it says it was sighted across d country but only emirs from d north were quoted. is d north alone "across d country". ask ursef, are we dt strategically positioned to see d moon b4 d rest of d world?
