Stop using the North as a base to what islam stands for, believe me most of the people here are interpreting Islam wrongly, they pick a verse from the Qur'an and misinterprete it. Most can't even read the holy Qur'an.
It's pathetic that people judge Muslims base on what they see and hear the Northerners doing.

Islam condemn terrorizing and will never support such, most of this jihadist don't even know what jihad means, they misinterprete it as a war you fight with non Muslims..

Ask your self this, this jihadist claim to be fighting for islam and yet the majority of people being killed and affected are Muslims.

Does this make any sense ??

How i wish you could meet a proper person who has adequate knowledge of islam.

Being a Muslim isn't about having an islamic name, it goes way beyond..

Boko haram claim to be fighting for islam, killing Muslims and Non Muslims alike.

They reside in thick forest and bushes where there are no mosques,
Believe me bro, if you could meet someone to teach you about the ways and doctrines of islam, you would be fond of my religion.
Islam means Peace
It is well bro. Enjoy!

Good morning bro, how are you and happy weekend to you.

Genesis 21:12-13 AMP
whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her and do what she asks, for your descendants will be named through Isaac. [13] And I will also make a nation of [Ishmael] the son of the maid, because he is your descendant.”

In the above passage, the most read book in the world has not said Ishmael won't grow. It is expected.

what horrific torment are you talking about ??

You are misinformed sir, i had one of the best tutors who taught me how to read Al Quran and the islamic school you talking about is nothing compare to what a child faces in government owned secondary schools, i know where you pointing at, unfortunately sir, ours were different, seek for knowledge of islam and stop using figments of those that know little or nothing about Islam. Mind you i will never insult another's religion because it's what my religion taught me. There is no compulsion in Islam, check any English Quran chapter 2 verse 256. Go through the verse and read through

By the way to those your friends that ran away from islam, it's their loss...Islam is the best thing that could ever happen to anyone.
Being a Muslim is a blessing.
Have you heard of people in the North who were killed because they left Islam? Have you heard of Leah Sharibu and how she and others were forced to join Islam? Or what religion was she forced to join? Which religion do those who forced her belong to? You think it's Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, or Hinduism?

Anyway, no love lost.
Hope you're in mosque already.
Have a great day bro.

I love you with the love of Christ.

I will deaden the topic. However, lemme correct this impression. They are not acting under the guise of Islam. They are actual Muslims. Period.

You lack knowledge sir, am not here to convince you to like islam, but stop hurling and attacking islam at the slightest instance you get.
Am sure you have few friends that are Muslim, except maybe you have never left your comfort zone, How would dy feel when they hear or see you insulting their religion, i repeat i have never seen a Muslim insulting christianity on this platform.
If you sincerely give an answer to the post you quoted. You'll know why Muslims do not attack Christians. From Al-Shabab, ISWAP, ISSIS, to Bin Laden, etc. You guys have done much evil than good. I think the Islamic school you guys went to as kids is a contributing factor to your bellicosity. The kind of treatment you guys go through is horrific and you know it. That's where the Jihadist mentality arose I suppose. You call Christians infidels when you guys are the real infidels.

Generations of Ishmael. Who is Ishmael? Abraham's son, by Hagar the concubine (Gen. 16:15; 17:23). He was born at Mamre, when Abraham was eighty-six years of age, eleven years after his arrival in Canaan (16:3; 21:5). At the age of thirteen he was circumcised (17:25). He grew up a true child of the desert, wild and wayward. On the occasion of the weaning of Isaac his rude and wayward spirit broke out in expressions of insult and mockery (21:9, 10); and Sarah, discovering this, said to Abraham, "Expel this slave and her son." Influenced by a divine admonition, Abraham dismissed Hagar and her son with no more than a skin of water and some bread. He gave birth to Mishma and Massa who would later become the founder of an Arabian tribe, a nomad tribe inhabiting the Arabian desert toward Babylonia.

This genealogy however is to set the records straight.

He launched a scathing attack on islam on a topic that never even mentioned islam.

It was stated saudi government and their laws...

You lots at the slightest instant attack Islam here on Nairaland, but i had never seen we Muslims attacking Christianity in the manner you guys do it ..
So, Saudi is a Buddhist country abi? Is that the only instance? Ain't you aware of Boko Haram in Nigeria? Or the teacher that was beheaded in France? Or the singer that was killed in Kano and his family house burnt all in the name of Islam? Saudi Arabia based their laws on the Koran just the way the North base theirs on the Sharia. Or ain't you aware of the killings that trailed the pictorial representation of Mohammed few years back?

Give an instance where Christians have been this evil? Do not isolate a man - just give an instance where they all go out like a herd to defend nonsense.

PS: You don't become a religion of peace by simply saying, 'As-Salaam-Alaikum'. It goes beyond that.

PoliticsOndo Guber: PDP, Jegede Head For Supreme Court As Appeal Court Upholds Akeredolu by Akell(op): 8:08am On Jun 17, 2021
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State has said that it will appeal the Appeal Court judgment dismissing the petition against the declaration of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu as Governor of the State.

This was contained in a statement signed by Kennedy Peretei, the State Publicity Secretary and made available to newsmen in Akure on Wednesday.

Recall that the party and its candidate in the October 10, 2020 governorship election, Eyitayo Jegede, had approached the Court of Appeal to cancel Akeredolu’s election.

However, the appellate court on Wednesday said in a unanimous judgment that the petition by the PDP and its candidate lacked merit.

In concluding her lead judgement, Hon. Justice Theresa Orji-Abadua disclosed that the appeal was partially discharged and allowed.

“To the ordinary man in the street, the judgement was inconclusive and we must approach the Supreme Court to help the Appeal Court to conclude the judgement, “the statement read in part.

“The kernel of the Eyitayo Jegede/PDP petition was whether or not a gross violation of the 1999 Constitution (as Amended) should be allowed to stay.

“While the Court of Appeal acknowledged that it was a violation of the Constitution, it still went ahead to dismiss the appeal.

“We’re still studying the details of the judgement by virtue of the fact that it was delivered via Zoom. But we’ve sufficient grounds to appeal the decision of the court.

“We’re confident the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the land, will do justice,” he said.

PoliticsHighlights From President Muhammadu Buhari's Interview by Akell(op): 11:45am On Jun 10, 2021
Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari say im biggest worry na from di northwest wia di pipo from same culture dey kill each oda.

Di president tok dis one during one interview e do with Arise news TV say den go treat dem 'in di language wey dem understand.'

"Di ones for di south east we know dem, di ones for di north east we know dem, na di ones for di north west be di problem.

"Di same pipo from di same culture dey kill-kill each oda and dey steal each oda cattle burn dia villages. We go treat dem di language dem go understand. We don give di police and di military power to be ruthless and in few weeks time, difference go dey"

"If you keep pipo away from dia farm, pipo go hungry and if di society go hungry, di goment go enta trouble and we no wan enta trouble becos we already dey face enough problem, we don warn dem and sooner or later you go see result." Buhari tok.

Wetin else Buhari tok for di interview?
On di accusation of appointment lopsidedness, e say pipo no suppose get job sake of di region wey dem come from. E say pipo competence na im dem suppose look into and dat many of dem don pay dia dues and don serve for different location and many of dem don work for fifteen to eighteen years and many of dem don learn from the system.

Talking about di recent appointment of di Chief of Army Staff e say,

"Positions need to be earned, you no go just take somebody from seniority to balance up.

"Do you know wia im bin dey serve before e become COAS? You no go just pick somebody becos e be senior, you go pick somebody wey di sojas know, e don suffer with dem, to tell you di truth I no know dis pipo, most of dem I don forget dem.

Banditry in the northeast

"Di problem of di northeast dey difficult. Di present govnor dey work very hard and dey take risk, I ask am di Boko Haram pipo dem be Nigerians, he say dem join

We get problem of unemployment, we get problem of youths wey dey find wetin to eat.

Di level of poverty dey unimaginable, dis na our problem but those wey dey keep eye for wetin we dey do know di difference between di time we come in and now and dem fit judge di mata.

Banditry in northwest

"We change di security heads, service chiefs and all and we hold serious meetings with dem at least three, each one last three hours

I first allow dem to go round and see di tins wey dey ground, dem make changes in di officers and command, we tell dem say we want confidence to dey rebuild and we tell dem say we want make pipo go back to dia land so food problem no go dey. I tink say dem dey do am, we no dey too make noise becos we no one alert dem say we dey take dem headone

For instance we stop mining for Zamfara, we stop di foreigners we dey tok to di govnor although e no dey our party but we wan secure di region.

Di important tin na di question of local security apparatus, we get police for every camp, dem no dey wear uniform and carry riflr just to intimidate pipo but to make sure say dem protect pipo

I too almost dey overwhelmed by wetin dey happun dia now but we dey treat bandits for di northwest as criminals now. dem dey suffer a lot of casualties dem know am.

Dem no go wan tok am so as not to discourage dia recruits.

State policing

Those of us wey we dey old enough to know di old era, dat time di traditional rulesr dey more effective.

"For instance some govnors come meet me say herders enta farm kill farmers dia cattle destroy farms, I ask dem say dem elect dem abi, so make dem to go back and handle am.

I tell di govnors to go back to di old system so dem go get intelligence locally, dem go know wetin dey happun for dia constituencies, dem no go fit just win election and tink say pesin go do dia work for dem, I send dem go back.

Open grazing

Wetin I do na to ask dem to go and dig out di gazette of first republic wey show cattle routes and grazing areas.

Cattle route wen dem dey move up kontri, north south east west, if you allow your cattle enta pesin farm dat time dem go arrest you and pipo bin dey behave demsef.

For di grazing areas dem build tins like even veterinary centre, Na di rush to di centre dey cause di problem.

Dem need to go through dat. If you alLow your cattle to go through farms, dem go arrest your cattle and you go pay, Pipo dey behave demsefs den, so dat di herders dey limited, dia routes dey known if problem dey, e dey easy to know.

Benue govnor say I no dey discipline dem becos I be one of dem, I no fit say I no be one of dem, but I tell am say di Nigerian cattle rearer no dey carry more dan stick sometimes matchet to cut tree, but dis ones dey carry AK47 , Fulanis from Mauritania and elsewhere for Africa look like Nigerians so pipo dey confuse dem. I assure you we dey try to resuscitate di cattle routes and grazing areas so pipo go dey accountable.

Buhari on Ipob

President Buhari on di security palava for di south east Buhari say di region pipo "spread across everywhere, with business everywhere and everything," E add say, Ipob no know wetin dem dey tok about and "we say we go treat dem in a way dem understand. We go organise the military and police to pursue dem.

On Twitter ban and wen dem go lift di ban, Buhari say, "Dat one I go keep to myself"

On Niger relationship

How many neighbours we get? If we no get good relationship with dem we go be in trouble.

We need to contribute to our neighbours, if we no get a good relationship with Niger, Chad and Cameroon for

instance, Boko Haram for don deal with us worst.

As you know, Niger don discover oil, we no want dem to go trhough Benin Republic, we want dem to come through Nigeria. If di rails, roads dey work, Nigerians go dey very busy and leave you alone.

Wetin next after presidency?

Buhari say : "I never ever abandon my farm, I still get some cattle, wen I leave, I go dey go my farm daily and try to keep and myself busy.

Before dem, I go try to convince Nigerians say I mean very well for dem. I go make sure say dem see say I dey work on di problems we get.

Visibly, we need progress in, southwest, southeast. Right now, northwest dey worry and dem go hear am hot-hot.

"I hope Nigerians go dey fair to me. Make dem try spend time on security, economy, wia we dey before I come and wen I comot make dem look am, I hope Nigerians go dey fair to me". Buhari tok.

PoliticsBREAKING: Why I Appointed Yahaya COAS, By Buhari by Akell(op): 11:18am On Jun 10, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari has explained why he appointed Major-General Farouk Yahaya as the Chief of Army Staff.

The Nation reports Yahaya replaced Lt General Ibrahim Attahiru, who died in a plane crash with ten other military personnel while on an official trip to Kaduna State.

Until his appointment, the new army chief was the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, the counter-insurgency operation in the North-east.

Buhari, during an interview on Arise TV on Thursday monitored by The Nation, explained Yahaya was appointed as the Chief of army staff ahead of other superiors because of his experience fighting Boko Haram in the North-east.

The appointment of Yahaya had created controversy and speculations that there is going to be a mass retirement of some generals in the Nigerian Army but the Defence Headquarters refuted the reports.

Buhari further explained the choice of Yahaya was because he had the support and understanding of the troops.

HealthNasarawa Health Workers Begin Indefinite Strike by Akell(op): 1:05am On Jun 08, 2021
The Coalition of Health Professionals Association in Nasarawa State has begun an indefinite strike action over government’s inability to meet up with its demands.

A spokesperson for the association, Kyari Caleb, made the disclosure while briefing newsmen on Monday in Lafia.

He explained that the decision to embark on the strike was agreed on by members of the association over the failure of the Nasarawa State Government to implement promotions for members since 2011 and the N30,000 minimum wage, among other demands.

Kyari said the coalition had exercised patience in its demands, but government’s negligence forced it to down tools as a form of protest.

He stressed that after signing a memorandum of understanding, the government promised to begin implementation of their demands immediately, but up till now, the government had reneged on its promise since 2020.

“The association, in all tertiary health facilities in the state, has withdrawn its services with effect from today till further notice. Members will continue to stay at home until the government does the needful,” he said.

The Head of Service of Nasarawa State, Mr Nicholas Aboki, had in a media briefing on Friday, June 4, appealed to the union to suspend the planned strike action, adding that the government was working hard to improve on their welfare.

CrimeIgangan Attack: License Amotekun To Bear Arms by Akell(op): 12:57am On Jun 08, 2021
Senator Kola Balogun representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the 9th Assembly has appealed to the Federal Government to license the South-West Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun, to bear arms.

He stated this on Monday while featuring on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme monitored by The PUNCH.

Balogun was reacting to a recent attack by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen at Igangan, in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that no fewer than 17 persons were reportedly shot dead when the hoodlum invaded the town on motorcycles around 11pm on Saturday and started killing and destroying property, which continued until around 3am on Sunday.

Speaking on the programme, the Senator representing the affected area condemned the attack, adding that all hands must be on the deck to ensure there is no repeat of such attack.

Balogun also said the attackers had bigger plans but for the intervention of vigilantes and Amotekun personnel. He, therefore, urged the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to grant the Amotekun operatives the license to bear sophisticated weapons in order to confront the marauders.

The senator said, “Amotekun is active and Amotekun is working even with the police. As a matter of fact, the situation would have been worse but for Amotekun and other local security outfits because from the report that I got, the people that came to invade had bigger plans than what happened.

“It was the community, the Amotekun, the local vigilantes that were mobilised in the middle of the night even though they were ambushed because they were not expecting them but they actually mitigated the effect of the damage.

“So, Amotekun is working and now the South-West governors said they have a joint patrol of Amotekun outfit across the entire South-West.

“Let me also say that I am aware that the Amotekun personnel have requested that the Inspector-General of Police grant them the license to be well-equipped. As we speak now, they are not as equipped as these invaders who are savages and who go on the rampage.

“I appeal to the IG and the police to grant them (Amotekun personnel) the license to be well-equipped as long as what they are doing is in support of what the police is doing.”

The overwhelming insecurity in the region had forced the six governors of the South-West to inaugurate the security outfit to tackle peculiar security threats in the region. The Amotekun Corps had also got the constitutional backing of the six state assemblies in the region.

This newspaper had also reported that human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, said it was suicidal for the operatives of Amotekun to carry on without bearing arms because the criminal elements they were to confront use sophisticated weapons, arguing that if a private citizen can apply for a licence to bear arms for self-defence, the Amotekun Corps are also entitled to the same benefit.

PoliticsICYMI: Sanwo-olu Knocks Yoruba Nation Agitators, Rules Out Breakaway by Akell(op): 11:34pm On Jun 07, 2021
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, ruled out the breakaway of 61-year-old Nigeria, saying there is strength in number while calling on over 200 million Nigerians to utilise the numerical strength and the beauty of diversity of the West African nation to foster economic prosperity and political stability.

The governor, however, stressed that it is important for fairness and equity to take their rightful places in the governance of the country so that no group is aggrieved or feels sidelined in the running of Nigeria.

He stated this on Monday while featuring on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ programme monitored by The PUNCH.

Lately, secessionist calls have increased across the country especially in Southern Nigeria. From the Indigenous People of Biafra to agitators of Yoruba Nation, amongst others, the separatist calls rise, fueled by the unprecedented insecurity in the country as well as the supposed nepotism and unequal distribution of economic resources by the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) in the last six years.

IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu; former Niger Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo; and Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho; have been at the forefront of the secessionist agitation in the country.

Igboho recently led Yoruba nation rallies in the South-West states of Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, amongst others.

Speaking on Monday, Sanwo-Olu, who is one of the six governors in the South-West geopolitical zone, said he is going nowhere, adding that he remains committed to one united and prosperous Nigeria where fairness and equal distribution of resources is the order of the day.

The Lagos state governor, who came into power in May 2019 on the platform of the President’s party, the ruling All Progressives Congress, said, “We are talking about separatists. I have only one passport, there is nowhere I am going. We are here, we cannot continue to gloss over it and talk about we want to break away. Even if any breakaway will start, it will end on a table, so, let’s create that table amongst ourselves and start talking.

“If we understand that there are different strengths in the room, let equity and fairness come into play, let’s understand what are the things you have that is bothering you and what are the things you don’t have that you want to have and let’s be able to resolve it.

“It is not by saying that we want to go (our separate ways). Oduduwa nation, when they come, they will now realise that even Egba, Ijebu and Ekiti, they also want to break away, they will never see an end to that because every clan and every race will also want something and that is where it is difficult.

“There is strength in number, let us utilise that strength and be able to work for all of us. It is when it is not working and it is perceived as nepotism, that is when people agitate. If we are fair and have a seat for everyone, we can take this country forward. Nobody wants a war. We never know how a war will end. Who is going to take us? Over 200 million people? Please, let’s be sincere and be real with ourselves.”

Furthermore, Sanwo-Olu urged the National Assembly which is in the process of amending the 1999 Constitution to implement the desires of the people.

He said, “Let’s commend the leadership of the National Assembly and let us hope that they will take these commendations and this big, bold step to a logical conclusion.”

The governor called for fiscal federalism, devolution of power, restructuring, amongst others to allow the sub-nationals to function optimally.

“The Federal Government is really just too big. Let’s just say it. It’s got over a thousand agencies. It’s big and it really doesn’t have a state; it is still federal.

“Let us know what the sub-nationals can do. The state governments, the local governments, they are closer to the people; let them be able to deal with these issues (while the Federal Government) deal with what is uniting all of us – foreign affairs – internal security, let’s do it,” he stated.

FamilyMen: Do You Pray To Be Like Your Father? by Akell(op):
Hi guys. This is for y'all. Do you wish you grow to become a man like your dad?


Well for me, he is hardworking, caring and wants the best for his children. However, he is always right. I mean, he wouldn't admit to being wrong even when it's obvious he is. He hardly apologises to his children whenever he's found to be wrong on an issue. Based on this, I pray to be more accommodating in that regard.

What about you?
