Negroid001:Lol, you’ve just shown that you’re still trapped in mental slavery. If you were an adherent of African traditional religion, I would at least respect your deep connection to your roots—but that’s not the case. Instead, you identify as agnostic, which only adds to your confusion. Who introduced agnosticism if not the same Europeans? When the British arrived, your ancestors abandoned their own gods, cultures, and traditions, labeling them as barbaric and embracing the deities of their colonial masters. Later, those same Europeans came back and told their descendants—people like you—that they now question God’s very existence, and you followed along blindly, believing that your ancestors’ beliefs were barbaric too. Soon, your children may mock your beliefs and choose yet another European concept—atheism. Is it really impossible for you or your ancestors to think independently? Must you always follow wherever Europeans lead? This is the essence of mental slavery. Ironically, you’re worse off than the Muslims you criticize because you refuse to think for yourself—allowing Europeans to dictate your worldview. Your forefathers betrayed their own gods for foreign ones, and as a result, brought a curse (agnosticism) upon their descendants. If this cycle isn’t broken, your children may become atheists, and who can say what your grandchildren will turn into? Peace! |
Negroid001:Islam existed in Nigeria prior to Usman Dan Fodio. His conquests were influenced by Christian crusades, not Islam. Similarly, your forebears traded their culture for Western norms under colonial rule, deeming their past 'barbaric'. They sold their tribesmen into slavery to Colonials, and now, you're trapped in mental slavery. North and West are in chains—theirs forged by Dan Fodio's legacy, yours by British colonialism, yet you believe yourself unshackled. This is a grand illusion. ![]() Peace! |
Negroid001:Historically, Northerners were educated people even before the British colonized Nigeria. Your ancestors from Western region were illiterates and had to adopt Western education after Nigeria's formation. Now, Northerners face challenges balancing Western and Islamic education, risking mediocrity in both. Peace! |
Peter Obi lacks patriotism. As a former state governor, he contributed to Nigeria's stagnation. He awaits foreigners' criticism to validate his own leadership failures. This remark is his political low point. His state (Anambra) fared no better under his rule. Obi should feel ashamed. True patriots don't use foreign insults against their nation. Unlike Peter Obi, leaders like Obasanjo (Baba Iyabo) exemplify true patriotism, defending Nigeria's honor, he even banned songs such as "Jagajaga" etc that undermine the nation. Most of Nigerian politicians, including Obi, criticize but offer no solutions. I'd prefer an empty Aso Rock (presidency) over his leadership. Peace! |
Kingpele:That's typical of politicians. Peter Obi is no better than Tinubu; both are driven by their political ambitions. Peter Obi, like the rest, doesn’t really care who helps him get into Aso Rock, as long as he reaches his goal. The very people he once condemned as the "structure of criminality" are now the same individuals he is dining with. Peace! |
discusant:An excerpt from Wikipedia article titled "Sharia in Nigeria" (the first 6 lines): "In Nigeria, Sharia has been instituted as a main body of civil and criminal law in twelve Muslim-majority states since 1999, when then-Zamfara State governor Ahmad Sani Yerima began the push for the institution of Sharia at the state level of government..." An Excerpt from Google's AI Overview: "...It applies primarily to Muslims in personal and family matters, but since 1999, twelve northern states have incorporated it into their criminal legislation, allowing Sharia courts jurisdiction over both criminal and civil cases within their specific domains..." Peace! |
discusant:The 1999 constitutional changes allowed for the states to expand the scope of Sharia law through state legislation. The implementation of Sharia criminal laws is a powerful symbol of regional autonomy and religious identity for northern states. |

Kobojunkie:Take your time before replying—read and fully understand the conversation first. It seems you’ve lost track of our discussion. Everything I’ve written has been directly related to our topic. Let me remind you: our conversation began with polygamous marriages and the “baby mama” phenomenon. You clearly stated that polygamy hasn’t addressed any substantial problems in society, just as baby mama culture has not. I then offered a comparative analysis of both issues and concluded that, although polygamy has its disadvantages, it is far better than the baby mama trend. We’re dealing with two serious problems now, and if caution isn’t taken, the baby mama phenomenon will destroy the institution of marriage and create societal issues that polygamy could not cause in a thousand years. I’ve known you for years as a critic on Nairaland, especially on topics concerning women. I understand that a rough childhood might have shaped some of your opinions or behaviors, but criticism alone is not a solution. You can’t keep offering negative commentary on issues you may not fully understand; instead, why not study them in depth and offer constructive solutions? I agree that polygamy cannot resolve all the societal problems caused by the baby mama trend and other Western influences, and vice versa—the baby mama lifestyle isn’t a solution to the issues arising from polygamy and related cultural practices. Instead of focusing on criticism, let’s work towards proposing solutions that can address one or both of these problems. That’s a more productive place to start. What do you think? Peace! |
Kobojunkie:Lol, nice one. I can't copy this without contradicting myself. Honestly, both polygamy and the “baby mama” phenomenon are viewed as problems by many. Polygamy—an aspect of our culture that women may find difficult to accept—and baby mama culture, which is influenced by Western lifestyles, both have their drawbacks. However, if we are being truly honest, polygamy, despite its challenges, is still preferable to the baby mama trend. In polygamous marriages, especially within Islam, a man is obligated to treat all his wives equally, providing for their food, clothing, shelter, and other needs. Anyone unable to maintain this fairness is not permitted to marry more than one wife. Through this equality in Islamic polygamy, every child receives adequate time, attention, care, and support from their father, which helps prevent the psychological harm often associated with single parenting. In contrast, the baby mama lifestyle is fundamentally unfair to the child involved. The father tends to focus his resources, attention, and emotional support on his wife and her children, while neglecting the child from another relationship. Sending money (child support) cannot substitute for active parenting. Visiting occasionally is not proper upbringing. Baby mama culture benefits one party—the wife or current girlfriend—while causing hardship to the baby mama and her child. The mother is left to juggle both roles, inevitably falling short, just as the saying goes: “Jack of all trades, master of none.” One hand alone cannot accomplish what requires two. When Islam was introduced, Arabs practiced polygamy with numerous wives—sometimes more than ten—and many children. Islam established a limit (four wives), setting clear guidelines for equal treatment and sharing of resources, which can be difficult even with just four wives. A man must divide his time and resources equally, ensuring that all wives are treated fairly, with no favoritism. I understand you are not an advocate of polygamy, but if we are honest, in choosing the lesser evil, polygamy is a better option. It does have disadvantages, but it is not as harmful as the baby mama lifestyle, which is rapidly undermining our society. If things continue this way, women may soon be searching in vain for polygamous marriages, as the institution of marriage itself teeters on the brink of extinction—mainly due to the baby mama trend and similar Western influences. Despite being practiced for thousands of years in Africa, polygamy did not destroy our society or families as rapidly as these new lifestyles are doing. Peace! |
Kobojunkie:Baby Mama does not, or should I say, has not solved any tangible problems in society, particularly where it applies to children (the subject of this thread), even up in the South. So, again, I ask, what does it matter that polygamy may not be acceptable in the South, but that does not mean what is obtainable in the South is any more wholesome or healthier. |
Kobojunkie:Polygamy may not be acceptable in the South, but that does not mean what is obtainable in the South is any more wholesome or healthier. |

mencer:While baby mama is more acceptable in the South.. it's not down North.... |
Kukutente23:Like I mentioned earlier, the belief that Jesus’ death means individuals will not experience sickness, aging, or physical death in this life is specific to certain Christian theological interpretations. The points I presented were meant to support my argument: First, original sin brings death to humanity; second, while Jesus’ death does not prevent our physical death in this life, it assures us of eternal life in the future (John 3:16); third, original sin also causes sickness but Jesus’ death promises believers physical healing that can be claimed in the present life. You need to improve your comprehension skills. I carefully gathered relevant verses, explained them, and provided their interpretations, yet your main concern seemed to be fault-finding and questioning whether I used AI. You seriously need to work on yourself. Peace! |
SIRTee15:I understand that my previous write-up may have hurt you deeply, and for that, I apologize. I empathize with your feelings. This is the kind of misunderstanding that Muslims often face here every day, especially because of a few unscrupulous individuals claiming to be jihadists—leading many to wrongly condemn all of us. You are correct when you say that children receive an automatic ticket to heaven because they are pure of heart and innocent, and God would not punish them for sins they know nothing about. My earlier response was based on my experiences with Christian preachers in my youth, who would preach that if we failed to believe Jesus died for our sins or accept him, we were destined for hell. I remember wondering what I had done at such a young age to earn God’s anger, and that His peace could only come if I accepted Jesus. As Muslims, we believe in Jesus but regard him as a prophet, and our judgment will be by Jehovah, who sent Jesus—not by man. Regarding your opinion about destiny, I believe you are mistaken because destiny is real. Much of what happens on earth is already predestined by the Creator. This explains why some individuals can foresee events and make prophecies. Do you think anything truly new happens in God’s eyes? Everything is simply unfolding according to His will. God’s plan for your life is your destiny. As the Quran says, "Man proposes, and God disposes" (Quran 76:30). Similarly, the Bible states in Proverbs 16:9, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Even Jesus himself had to submit to God’s will (Matthew 26:39). Isaiah 46:10 also states: "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please." So, God is not watching new things unfold—His plan is simply being realized. More broadly, what you are and everything about you has been destined by God. This is why sorcerers sometimes seem to know intimate details about your life, your identity, and your future. They are not supernatural beings but are reading signs that God has already written—for example, some believe that much of our life’s path is written on our palms, although few can interpret it. With spiritual knowledge (ilmu ruhani), even a little information such as your name and your mother’s name can reveal much about your past, present, and future (though such practices are forbidden in Islam). They can describe many life events, including details about your spouse and children. As for whether one is destined for heaven or hell, Islam teaches that much is already recorded about you. God has predestined many aspects of life—only a few are within our control. The Bible echoes this in Romans 8:29-30: "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son... And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." What can change our destiny? Only the One who predestined it can change it—when we pray sincerely and He answers, our destiny may be altered according to His will. Shalom! |
Kukutente23:The idea that Jesus' death means individuals will not experience sickness, aging, and physical death in the current life is an interpretation found in certain specific Christian theological viewpoints, often associated with the Word of Faith or "divine health" movements. Key Biblical Passages and Interpretations The concepts mentioned relate to several biblical themes: 1. Victory over Sin and Spiritual Death: The Bible teaches that sin entered the world through Adam, and death both spiritual separation from God and physical death (Romans 5:12–21) is the consequence of that sin. Jesus' death and resurrection provided a way for humanity to be reconciled with God, offering forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23). 2. Future Hope and the Resurrection: Future Hope and the Resurrection: The ultimate removal of physical suffering, aging, and death is described as a future event, often linked to Christ's second coming and the general resurrection. • Revelation 21:4 states: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away". • 1 Corinthians 15:53 speaks of a future transformation: "For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality". • Philippians 3:20-21 mentions that Christ "will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body". 3. Physical Healing in the Atonement: Some groups interpret passages like Isaiah 53:5 ("by his wounds we are healed" ) and 1 Peter 2:24 as a guarantee of physical healing that believers can claim in the present life. These interpretations suggest that just as sin was dealt with on the cross, so were all forms of sickness and disease. Peace! |
Ekrenji:Islam offers a clear understanding by teaching that children who die before reaching an age of accountability will not go to hell simply because they did not accept Jesus. Since they are innocent and sinless, their state of purity is comparable to being born as a Muslim—one who submits fully to the will of the Almighty God. In Christianity, however, every person bears responsibility for the original sin committed by Adam—even before their own birth. This inherited sinful nature is the source of sickness, aging, death, and an innate tendency toward sin present in all humans from birth. Why must humanity endure all these consequences because of Adam’s transgression? The solution (according to Christianity) lies in Jesus—through His sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross, and resurrection, Jesus broke the power of sin and death. The irony, though, is that despite all Jesus endured for humanity’s sake, individuals still experience sickness, aging, and death. Abi he did not die well ni, I no know. ![]() Peace! |
magoo10:Lol, this is the height of hypocrisy. Hamas fights for the rights of Palestinians and seeks to reclaim their ancestral lands, which were taken by self-proclaimed Jews from Europe, yet you brand them as terrorists and endorse their elimination by the Israeli government. IPOB are to Igbos what Hamas are to the Palestinians. Peace! |
mkpologwu:The Nigerian Constitution establishes a secular state, explicitly stating that neither the federal nor state government shall adopt any religion as a state religion. While this principle is theoretically in place, the constitution does make specific provisions for the operation of Sharia courts, primarily for civil matters like marriage, inheritance, and custody, applicable only to "Muslims who consent" to its jurisdiction. The British common law system we inherited doesn't address these matters and contradicts Islamic principles. Therefore, the Constitution permits Sharia courts to handle these vital Muslim life aspects, ensuring inclusivity. Within Islamic societies, non-Muslims, particularly “People of the Book” (Christians and Jews), were allowed to practice their religion freely and follow their own legal systems concerning personal matters like marriage, divorce, and inheritance. Peace! |
discusant:The adoption of Shariah is not the root of Nigeria’s problems; that perspective is misinformed. The rise in crime and instability we see today is largely the result of actions by Western powers and some members of our elite, all seeking to exploit our resources. They have been able to recruit and manipulate young people primarily due to the country’s high unemployment rate. Many African countries are now grappling with terrorism, much of which is supported or encouraged by the West as a means to destabilize those nations. Your misunderstanding of our challenges is clear—you have chosen a convenient but inaccurate explanation for our country’s predicaments. Shariah is the product of the will of certain Muslim-majority states; it is not imposed on non-Muslims. If a non-Muslim appears before a Shariah court, it is usually because a Muslim party involved in the case wishes for the matter to be settled under Islamic law. Any party can summon you to the court of their choice, but if you are dissatisfied with the outcome, you have the right to appeal. Shariah is not solely about harsh punishments like beheading or amputation for theft; there is much more to its legal and ethical framework, and greater understanding is needed. Unfortunately, our conversation seems to have reached an impasse. Please don’t be offended if I do not respond further. Only when there is a more fundamental understanding of the issues at hand (from both parties) will a productive dialogue be possible. Thank you for your time. Peace! |
discusant:Yarima isn't the issue here. Some northern states chose Sharia, but it's optional, not forced. Forcing religion contradicts Islam, as the Quran (2:256) states, "No compulsion in religion." Majority of the so-called jihadists are ignorant of Islam, they are merely unemployed, radicalized extremists. Their actions often differ from their words, as they're hired to destabilize areas under the pretense of jihad, usually driven by their employers' political interests. Peace! |
discusant:The US doesn't genuinely provide aid; instead, it often uses the guise of aid to fund terrorist activities. Look at the nations receiving this aid—how many aren't dealing with terrorism or political chaos? This pattern suggests a connection between US aid and destabilization. Peace! |
AustineE1:Lol, how long will it take you to understand that these supposed "Islamic terrorists" are actually illegal miners? They displace locals to exploit their land for mining. Initially, they hid under Boko Haram, now they use the guise of herdsmen and bandits to continue their illicit activities. Peace! |
Nigerians often seek free things. The government spends a lot on HIV awareness and prevention, but people ignore it. You engage in unprotected sex, seeking free STD tests and antiretroviral drugs. You dey nack raw and you expect government to take full responsibility of your recklessness. This is a contradictory mindset that neglects personal responsibility.Peace! |
Orlandoo:Blinded by animosity towards your leaders, you overlook the West's covert plots. The so-called "Christian genocide" is a ploy to coerce Nigeria into US-biased agreements. Observe the image—what exactly was Buhari agreeing to? Tinubu will equally be made to sign similar agreements. ![]() The US resists global independence, fearing economic loss. They concoct pretexts or excuses to coerce developing nations into unfair agreements. While developed countries escape scrutiny, Africa remains vulnerable. Tragically, many Africans unknowingly endorse this manipulation. Peace! |
