This is indeed a promising investment, provided that they steer clear of purchasing crude oil from illegal sources like vandals. |
MightySparrow:Both the Quran and the Bible emphasise individual accountability for one's actions. The Quran states, "No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another" (35:18), while the Bible similarly asserts in Galatians 6:5, "For every man shall bear his own burden." It is therefore unscriptural to hold all Muslims accountable for the misdeeds of a few. Those who have issues with anti-Christian should address him specifically, without involving other Muslims who are not involved in the matter. After all, engaging in religious debates on Nairaland is not inherently wrong, as long as such discussions take place in the appropriate forum sections. The problem arises when uninterested individuals are dragged into these debates against their will. In the case of anti-Christian and TēnQ, based on their conversations, the former critiques modern-day Christian practices and doctrines he believes contradict their scripture. In contrast, TēnQ targets Allah—the Arabic word for God—and Prophet Muhammad. Regardless of their differing approaches, it remains inappropriate to involve unwilling participants in their arguments. They should respect others' boundaries and confine their discourse to those who are interested and willing to engage. Shalom! |
MightySparrow:Lol, it's not like I built my house next to the market – the market just decided to show up right next to where I live! So, I have every right to sue them for all that noise pollution. As for that guy, TēnQ, he keeps creating new threads just to talk about Islam, and honestly, most of his topics are pretty blasphemous. I tried to reason with him a few times, but he's just so stubborn and closed-minded that it's impossible to get through. Eventually, I figured it was better to just avoid him since he's not actually looking for answers, but just wants to argue for the sake of arguing.But he just won't stop bringing up my name and sending me these frustrating arguments. The thing is, I'm a Muslim, and believing in Jesus is a crucial part of our faith – you can't even call yourself a Muslim if you don't believe in Jesus. That's why I can't just create threads insulting Jesus like he does with Prophet Muhammad. Most of my religious discussions are based on topics that are already on the front page or when I'm dragged into it by that guy. That's why I want him to stop mentioning me. Personally, I believe that all followers of Abrahamic religions are essentially practicing the same faith, even though our different doctrines and the names we call ourselves make us appear separate. The children of Abraham – Isaac and Ishmael and their descendants – have one God, the God of their father Abraham. You can call Him YHWH, Elohim, Alaha, or Allah – it's all the same. So, all Abrahamic religions should, in theory, be worshipping the same God. However, different Man-made doctrines and interpretations have caused confusion, leading various sects within Abrahamic religions to believe that they're the only ones worshipping the "true" God of Abraham while others are seen as unbelievers, idol worshippers, or are condemned to hell for not accepting specific messengers of God. But we were all created by the same God, and we should remember that He's not the one causing all this confusion – we are. It's best to leave the judgment of who's right and who's wrong to Him. Peace! |

Ipobfraud:From your submission, it's evident that the majority of today's so-called Christians have little semblance to Christ's teachings. Although there are exceptions, such as Jehovah's Witnesses and some orthodox Christian denominations where female members are not allowed to preach in public at the altar, or as they call it, puppet preaching. Given the number of Christian denominations with female pastors, it can be concluded that a significant portion of Christians have strayed from the original path. This reminds me of a prayer in the first chapter of the Qur'an that says: "...You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger¹, nor of those who went astray² (Qur'an 1:5-7) Narrated ‘Adi bin Hâtim: I asked Allâh’s Messenger about the Statement of Allâh: 1. "(not the way of those who earned Your Anger)," he replied, "They are the Jews." [Because of their constant disobedience to God's injunctions]. 2. "(nor of those who went astray)," he replied: "The Christians, and they are the ones who went astray." [At-Tirmidhi and Musnad Abu Dâwûd] Peace! |
BadBradley:Lol, the above bolded part is what I actually wanted to say, but this man of God said it before me. However, why has Christianity turned into a religion of opinion, where the so-called "Christians" read the scripture but abandon God's injunctions for their own views? The idea of a woman preaching to men as a pastor is unscriptural but is being practiced today in the name of gender equality. Is the Bible that speaks against it wrong? The same colonial masters who brought Christianity and encouraged so-called gender equality, even in the church, are now advocating for homosexuals to be pastors, and some Christians are already following suit. Christianity has become a diluted religion. Everyone is just practicing their own opinion in the name of Christianity. Peace! |
Edygrin:The thing is, we the followers are just as corrupt as our leaders. This is exactly what I told a Nairalander who believes that our leaders are the ones holding us back. He claimed that if we could eliminate our leaders, everything would be okay. In response, I said to him: https://www.nairaland.com/8283504/nigeria-secures-2.2-billion-eurobonds#133138923 |
Una no need to tell us. We already know say na corruption be the reason why una withhold the identities of owners of seized 753 units duplexes. ![]() |
smart8956:Lol, discussing solutions openly might not always be the best idea. It's like when you share your plans to tackle problems in government, some shady characters might just use that information to sabotage your efforts. Look at Buhari, for example – he had ideas that he shared, but when he tried to apply them, things didn't quite work out as planned, and we ended up suffering. So, I won't claim that I have all the answers because, more often than not, those who boast about solving problems end up failing. Now, about getting rid of all the corrupt leaders – I'm not sure you caught my point earlier. The thing is, the followers are just as corrupt as their leaders. Corruption is everywhere, and if we somehow managed to eliminate all corrupt leaders, a new crop would just spring up from their followers. We need to face the fact that we're all, in one way or another, entangled in corruption. The solution lies within ourselves – our attitudes and mentalities need an overhaul. If we can work on changing that, we'll start seeing a gradual shift in our society. Because if we're honest, corruption is deeply ingrained in us, and eliminating corrupt leaders without addressing our own issues won't get us far. So let's focus on personal change and growth – that's where real progress begins. Peace! |
smart8956:Lol, "soldiers come and go, but evil remains." The same applies to leaders - even if we replace them all, we the followers will just continue where they left off. The truth is, we're all part of the problem. Greed and selfishness run deep in our society. It's our attitudes and mindsets that prevent us from developing. Even the ones who complain the most would probably do a worse job if given the chance to lead. We only seem to criticize our leaders when we're not benefitting from the corrupt system. But once we join in, corruption suddenly becomes the norm for us too. So really, it's not just about blaming our leaders - we need to look in the mirror and realize that change starts with each one of us. Peace! |

TenQ:Lol, It seems you're determined to engage in conversation. I'll allow it today, but please refrain from quoting me in your future dialogues. Regarding your first paragraph, it's futile to argue with you. You possess knowledge but lack a comprehensive understanding. It's akin to telling Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba individuals that their references to God as "Ubangiji," "Chineke," and "Olorun/Olodumare" don't align with the YHWH concept but rather represent idols. Allah is God, just as an English speaker might say "God" instead of "YHWH." I've read the Arabic translation of the Bible. Years ago, when my Arabic was better than my English, a Christian friend gave me the Arabic Bible Gideon Translation. Unlike you, who prefers to criticize people's faith under the guise of proselytizing, my friend provided materials to facilitate productive discussions. While reading the Bible, I noticed "اللهُ" (Allah) was used throughout the Arabic Bible (New Testament). Do you mean to say that "Arab Christians" worship the same Allah as in Islam? Consider this popular verse from the Arabic Bible Gideon Translation: John 3:16: لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا أَحَبَّ "اللهُ" الْعَالَمَ حَتَّى بَذَلَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ، لِكَيْ لاَ يَهْلِك كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ. ("For 'God' so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ). Even if you can't read Arabic, compare the bolded word for God in the verse with this Qur'an verse: بِسۡمِ "ٱللَّهِ" ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (In the Name of "Allah", the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.). Are they not the same? Moreover, according to Prophet Muhammad, mentioned in Hadith, and various Islamic scholars, including those in Sufism and other sects, our creator has a name, and Allah isn't it; Allah is the Arabic word for God, and God, even in English, is a title rather than a name. Prophet Muhammad explained that the true name of our creator is revealed only to selected prophets and messengers, enabling control over everything when uttered. Although, he never told anyone what the name was. Some scholars are of the opinion that the real name for God (Allah) our creator revealed to prophets is "Rahman," while others claim it's "Huwa," as in Ya-Huwa, similar to YHWH, mentioned in Qur'an 23:24. However, claiming Allah isn't YHWH is inaccurate. Different tribes have unique names for God; their original usage as idol names is irrelevant; what matters is intention. As the Qur'an states, even if you don't know our creator's true name, you may call Him Allah (God) or the Merciful; whichever name you invoke, He possesses the most beautiful names (Qur'an 17:110). As a Muslim, I don't dispute YHWH as our creator. But you can also refer to Him as Allah, Chineke, Ubangiji, Olorun, the Merciful, the Omnipotent, and the Omniscient God—what matters is your intention behind these names. |
TenQ:As I mentioned earlier, our faith, as stated in the Qur'an, instructs us not to engage in arguments or discussions with those who mock or make jest of our beliefs. Instead, we are encouraged to affirm our own faith while respecting the right of others to follow their own path. As the Qur'an says, "O you disbelievers! I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship. I will never worship what you worship, nor will you ever worship what I worship. You have your way, and I have my Way" (Qur'an 109:1-6). With this in mind, I kindly request that you refrain from involving me in conversations that disparage or belittle my faith. I'm not your friend, don't quote in your blaspheming hogwash. I have chosen to be a Muslim and submit to the will of Allah, and your attempts to criticize or make jest of my faith will not persuade me to convert to idol worshipping. I respectfully ask that you honor my decision to practice my faith in peace and allow me to follow the teachings of my religion without interference. Gracias! |
TenQ:It has been some time since our last conversation, which began with a debate about the origin of the word "Allah" and the connection between "Allah" and "Elohim." Upon reflection, I realized that you approached our discussions with a closed mind, which ultimately led me to disengage from the conversation. However, despite my decision to step away, I have noticed that you have continued to quote me in various topics that I do not wish to be associated with. I would like to respectfully request that you stop quoting me in these discussions. It is not appropriate to condemn the faith of others, and I believe we should treat each other with respect and understanding. While it is true that we have differing beliefs, I would never intentionally create threads to insult religious figures that you or anyone else holds dear. Productive discussions should be approached with an open mind and a genuine desire to learn from one another, rather than parroting the arguments of others without critical thought. In light of this, I propose that we recognize each other as fellow believers in the Abrahamic tradition, acknowledging that we all worship the same one true God, even if our methods may differ. It is not our place to judge one another, as judgement is reserved for God alone. As the Qur'an states in chapter 2:62: "Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.". Ultimately, Allah will judge us on our own merits and intentions, not on the specific religion we practice (Qur'an 3:55). I encourage you to consider redirecting your energy away from condemning Islam and Muhammad, it may be more beneficial to invest your energy in fostering a deeper connection with your own faith. If you were to invest your time in nurturing your own spiritual growth and relationship with God, I believe it would serve you better in the long run. Peace be upon those who follow true guidance! |
TenQ:Hello Mr. TenQ, I am writing to respectfully inform you that I am no longer interested in engaging in religious discussions with you. It seems that your inquiries do not stem from a genuine desire to learn but rather from a predetermined set of questions and answers. This approach not only undermines the potential for constructive dialogue but also indicates a lack of openness to understanding Islamic perspectives. I kindly request that you remove any mentions of my moniker, "Almunjid", from your subsequent quotes as I do not wish to be associated with these conversations. While I have attempted to maintain tolerance in the face of your religious slurs and unproductive comments, I find that they conflict with the teachings and morals of my faith. I insist that you refrain from quoting me in any further discussions, as your provocative and disrespectful remarks towards my religion and Prophet Muhammad are not in line with the values I hold dear. No Muslim would deliberately insult Jesus or other prophets, and I do not see any valid reason to continue receiving and reading messages that insult my faith. As a guiding principle, the Qur'an instructs us not to engage with those who mock our faith, as stated in verse 4:140: "He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation." In light of this, I ask you to respect my decision to discontinue our dialogue. I appreciate your understanding and ask that you honor my request moving forward. peace be upon those who follow true guidance! |

Why be say na only "burials" Pandōra Obi dey attend? ![]() |
Lol, it's interesting how the tables have turned! Ndi develōpers who were teasing Yorubas have now gone into hiding, and the truth has been revealed. Only 3 out of 21 LGAs in Anambra are open Defecation-free. So, it turns out that Anambra holds the unfortunate title of having the highest rate of "open defecation" in the south east? That's quite the "breezy" discovery, isn't it? A state Pandōra Obi governed for eight years still dey do open defecation Ooo. ![]() |

Greenfusion:It seems like we might never outgrow this – democracy just doesn't suit us. We're too greedy, selfish, and lack the maturity, composure, and organization needed for it to work. Our high level of greed means nobody wants the will of the people to prevail; they want to win by any means necessary, even if they're not the best person for the job. And even if we somehow managed to overcome these issues, our inadequate literacy and low education levels would still hold us back. The majority don't have the education to make informed judgments about who the best candidate is, leading to people selling their votes for as little as N2,000. Do you really think countries like ours are qualified to practice democracy? A country with high illiteracy levels? A country where the illiterate determine who governs? Democracy has become a system where politicians share contracts, commissioners and ministerial appointments among themselves as compensation for helping to rig elections. As a result, we end up with unqualified people in power, making it nearly impossible to manage our resources effectively. And every four to eight years, we end up killing each other in the name of electing a new leader. To me, democracy is the worst thing that has ever happened to Africa. It only favors our colonial masters, who use it to install their stooges and keep exploiting us, stealing our resources, and keeping us in perpetual debt and dependency. Countries practicing monarchy or other systems like UAE, Saudi Arabia etc have been able to manage their resources far better than us because their leaders appoint technocrats based on merit. All they care about is results, and if any technocrat fails to meet expectations, they are replaced immediately. If we had adopted a similar approach back in the 60s, we might have seen more progress than the countries we discovered oil before. Democracy is more of a curse to us, countries like Burkina Faso, Mali etc which recently ditched democracy are now making more progress than us. This is a clear indication that democracy is the only thing holding us back – but only the wise will recognize it for what it is: a curse. Peace! |
Lol, Christianity seems to be turning into a bit of a joke, honestly. They claim to follow Christ, but nowhere does it say that a woman should give sermons in the church; in fact, the Bible instructs them to remain silent. Take a look at this verse from 1 Corinthians 14:34-35: "As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church." Now, about the notion that stopping tithing will send someone back to square one – that’s not even biblical. Isn’t being a Christian supposed to be about being Christ-like? Where does her teaching fit into that? Lol, seems like her husband might be running out of money, and the only way to help him earn more is by climbing the pulpit and instilling fear in the hearts of the gullible, so they feel obligated to pay the tithe they “owe” her husband. These pastors act like tithes are their birthright. Peace! |
Leemzyy:If you had tattooed my face on your heart instead of your chest, I would have taken you more seriously. However, seeing that you chose to tattoo the face of some son of Maitama on your heart and my face merely on your chest, it's clear where your true feelings lie. I don't fight lost battles, na why I move on be that Ooo. ![]() |
