I can't believe that nobody from the south is challenging the northernization of our military outfits. Apart from the fact that the personel is dominated by people from the north, the bases are also cited in the north.

what can you do about that?

This cry cry people won't stop crying. When government send few military men to eastern streets, you cry of intimidation, militarization, arrest and whatnot to Obama and now trump. If you see the number of army we see everyday, I'm sure iPod and massob would declare a 365 days of sit-at home like the one in the picture below.

Government understands that Ibo people are naturally scared of the military or get thrown into pandemonium upon seeing men in uniform, so they decided to take some military setup away from you, and here you are crying your Flat'head out.

Nothernization of the military! All or almost all military institutions are concentrated in the north. This is clearly unfair!
NMS - Kaduna
NDA - Kaduna
NSI - Kaduna
NMSE - Makurdi
NDC - Abuja
DICON - North
The new military university - north
There's another one again in Niger state whose name I can't recall and countless number of others!

Even if Nigeria is still suspicious of the south easterners due to the civil war, why not have some in the Niger delta and south west? As far as I know, no single military institution or training headquarters is in the south west. This is plainly ridiculous.

most naval setup are in the north too.

In fact, the following are also in the north:

Sam Ethnan Air Force Base, Ikeja – Lagos

305 Flying Training School, Enugu

97 Special Operations Group, Nigerian Air Force, Port-Harcourt

81 Air Maritime Group, Nigerian Air Force Benin

Nigerian Air Force Institute of Safety, Ipetu-Ijesha

And I'm sure you'd learn more here on nairaland.

TheArchangel:
The revenue generation tilts more to the southwest cos of the presence of the nation's seaports. Establish ports in the SS and see all this stats balancing.
The proximity of businesses close to ports is a major factor here. Check the revenues of those farther from the seaports and you'll understand perfectly.

lol! You need seaports to balance things out with SW? Isn't everything about oil anymore?

Why do you call others parasites when you know what they lack (like seaports) is why they lag behind in terms of IGR?

Look at edo and akwa ibom, edo did better. Look at borno that's war-ravaged and ekiti state.

In fact the first person to be arrested is you, since its your name that will be on the ticket. Dolt

maybe, ihateafonja is the chukwuebuka guy since he claims to make bookings for people.

IhateAfonjas:

A woman who don't even know what credit card is is defending her son

I have booked more than 200 flights from people i don't even know, i haven't been arrested or questioned by the US police because I'm clean as a whistle

If i buy a flight ticket from a well known murderer and drug dealer, the US police can never arrest me, they don't scope people up in the USA if you're innocent

The US police will never arrested you on suspicion, he's been tracked for a long time and they have over 500 evidence against him

Bola Tinubu his brother is wanted in 8 states in the USA

1. Illinois

2. Kentucky

3. Pennsylvania

4. Wisconsin

5. Ohio

6. Connecticut

7. Florida

8. South Carolina

Dammy Adeola Oshodi, you've been caught

You will spend the rest of your life in prison

why lying to yourself?

Again, if you got a jet booking via fraudulent card, the police won't touch you? Are you a kid ?

Celsony:
Why will i do that?
Do you know whether i am a muslim or a christian or atheist?
Stop judging someone you dont know from afar.

#Peace!

maybe, I judged you based on what usually play out nairaland. Some even took to outright hate when they learned ayiri emami is a Muslim.

Sorry about that.

yes! You can make hating him from now onwards official cos he's a Muslim.

Papiikush:
lol, you say you are fasting but you eat first thing in the morning and once it's 7pm you rush to the kitchen. Na only lunch you no chop but you go still complain say fasting tough

Abeg who is fooling who?

you guys just like most Nigerians, are foolish enough to always draw your conclusion without making extensive research.

Because of poverty, all you guys think of in fasting is food or skipping of a meal. It's much more than that. I have an article for igboticgirl up there, read it and quit being "holo-stupid".

osusuallstars:
Shut up there you. Those that killed in Manchester and London , are they not head slammers that are equally fasten

well, separate actions of Muslim from Islam and its teachings, then , you'd see things differently.


I can assure you that , those behind that attack, are not muslims by their actions. Their actions negates everything Islamic. I can tell you that all of them , if they die , they're hell bound. Allah will never forgive them for killing innocent souls.

Kathmandu:
I'm a Christian and not a Muslim. I don't serve the god they serve.



WE ARE NOT ONE

we can't be worshipping the same God or gods as it is in your case. We can't! Your noise-loving god isn't ours. Our God does not have to come to earth in human form just to know how the humans he created are feeling(your god sef doesn't know how what he built functions).

Your god came to earth in human form , and was so powerless that he was put to the cross helplessly. Though he still begged his God to help him . Remember sabacthani in the Bible?

Your god is born of woman, our God is not.

Your god has son , our has none .

Your god eat, drink , sleep , go hungry , visit the toilet, etc, our God doesn't.

Your god is dead, our is forever alive.

Too many reasons why we can't be "one".


NB: we love Jesus . Not the picture of a movie star you worship. We love Jesus more than you guys. You just don't know him, hence. Your display of ignorance in the name of religion.


Face your fake religion.

@igboticgirl hope what I put out there answers your question.

We don't fast based on what people think a fasting should be, but as it's decreed . Trust me, if we are ordered to stay one month of no eating and drinking and complete abstinence from sinful acts, we'll do it. Our fasting is different from yours(even though 99% of don't and it's not compulsory).


Fasting is not only about skipping a meal, you get to know what people who can't feed go through and how it's important to help. The abstinence from sinful acts is the most difficult aspect. You can't drink , fornicate, cheat , lie , steal etc. I can't even gaze at a lady now . That's how difficult it is.

Ramadan is window created for forgiveness; you do little thing of kindness and favor, and your sins of previous years are forgiven , especially if you don't go back to them again.

Isn't Allah/God too merciful?

IgboticGirl:
I have noting to say

BUT y do Muslims eat as early as 5am in the morning and still say they are fasting



is just a question pls don't be offended



We are one

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar where Muslims all over the world fast from dawn to dusk for 29 or 30 days. Beyond not eating and drinking during this period, Muslims also abstain from sexual activities during the day while also dedicating a large amount of time to praying and reading of the Holy Quran as a way of getting closer to Almighty Allah.

For a lot of Muslims, Ramadan provides the perfect period for closer reflection and engaging in activities to please Allah. Actions that can invalidate fasting are completely avoided as it is believed that engaging in sinful acts can render the fasting void. During this period also, a lot of Muslims engage in alms giving or providing food for their friends and neighbours.



Why do Muslims fast?

Sawm or fasting is one of the pillars of Islam making it one of the most compulsory activities that Allah enjoins Muslims to do. This is contained in the Holy Qur’an, Suratul Bakarah (Chapter 2) verses 183 to 185 where Allah said:

"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -

"[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.


"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful."

What this means is that fasting is for the believers and has been decreed on those before the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and it is an activity to attain righteousness.

What are the benefits if fasting?

Fasting draws one close to Allah as it reflects a Muslim’s willingness to carry out the instruction of God. It provides an opportunity to temporarily feel what not-well-to-do people go through everyday and be able to show compassion towards them. The act of sacrifice embedded in fasting is also strengthened by one’s ability to restrain from what one does normally and this ability of self-discipline allows some Muslims to maintain this lifestyle even after Ramadan.

During the glorious month of Ramadan, the gate of heaven is open while the door of hell is shut. It is also a month of forgiveness as many Muslims seek Allah’s favour and blessing.



Medically, fasting helps one to lose weight and improve blood pressure. Dr. Michael Mosley who is the author of “The Fast Diet books” wrote: “Studies of intermittent fasting show that not only do people see improvements in blood pressure and their cholesterol levels, but also in their insulin sensitivity.”

It also helps one to get rid of addiction. Smoking and consumption of alcohol can be better control as being able it abstain from it during the month of Ramadan makes it possible to completely shelve it even after Ramadan.

Business first

We have Muslim players in Real Madrid who played the champions league finals even though they were in Ramadan

Religion is the biggest scam in the history of mankind

You want to disobey your boss to obey your God ??

They don't deserve to play for Nigeria again

Paul Pogba will never act like that even though he's a Muslim

Mesut ozil who is a Muslim will never act like that

If you can't do what your coach tells you, you can employ yourself and do as you like

Buhari will not disobey his doctors if they tell him to eat every minute of the day during Ramadan

too many illiterates here. None of the world class player that's a Muslim is not fasting now and are not given special treatment because of fasting.


Go and read what happened between maurinho and Sule muktari of Ghana then when he was playing for inter. Get your facts right and stop lying.

Abeg make una no vex o, would the Whatsapp group not mean that this thread would be neglected? I mean there might not be as much info on this thread anymore. You know, sometimes I visit threads as old as 2010 for vital info on Nairaland. However, if those people chose to join Whatsapp groups instead, and stopped sharing info on that thread, I would not be able to get what I got. Am just saying...

no need for that whatsapp group. It's my opinion.
