BlueMann:
The deal could be announced this evening. Livramento is also looking likely to leave, but Tuchel reportedly likes Dujon Sterling and wants him to stay, so Chelsea will be looking to keep him long term.

At least one talented RB remains.

I believe Sterling is the one keeping Livramento out and the reason the club didn't push hard for Hakimi.

ManU and Arsenal fans are discussing their team news in their threads and we are discussing the efficacy and efficiency of juju for days without end in sight, if this is not serious juju then I don't know what it is.

Lewis Bate's move to Leeds is ‘done’. The midfielder has said said his goodbyes to people at Chelsea.

You didn't mention any benefit exclusive to Muslims. Adherents of other religions also believe these things.

Can you quote the verse in the Qur'an where a religion called Islam existed before Muhammad was born? You know the Qur'an stated specifically how and when the religion was named "Islam".

Apart from the Qur'an, you don't have a concrete scientific proof that humanity started in Asia (Saudi), even though the available body of archaeological evidence says otherwise.

How is striving to practise Islam the way its founder Muhammad did, going "overboard"? Don't blame the extremists for following the footsteps of Mohammed.

I understand you perfectly, which is why I'm surprised you condemn religious extremists, and you still believe "family ties means nothing if you don't share the same faith with a family member."

No need to condemn what you practise. That's self-contradictory.

There are numerous verses pointing to the fact that Islam was practiced way before Prophet Muhammad below are few of those;
Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account.
Ibrahim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism - to worship none but Allah Alone) and he was not of Al-Mushrikun
Remember that absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence as for me sufficient for me is the Quran, you can wait for archeological sites that may or may not live to see for what you're looking for.

Kai all of una Na case

A001:
I know that's what you would say as a Muslim. But I thought you would tell me the benefits of choosing Allah out of the thousands of gods in history.

Do Muslims enjoy any advantage exclusive to them that others such as pagans, atheists, Christians don't enjoy?

Islam was established only 1400 years ago by Mohammed. Do you know humanity (homo sapiens) has been existing for close to 300,000 years and that before the advent of Islam and Christianity, humans were pagans?

I suppose you know all this. I see you as an educated and smart person, so I expect you already know that Muslims don't enjoy anything special that other religious or irreligious people don't enjoy as well.

If you want to talk about reward in heaven, other religious people and even some irreligious people also look forward to enjoying a good afterlife.

Besides, there's no concrete scientific proof that heaven exists as most people picture it.

I have argued and interacted with a number of Muslims, and the sincere, rational ones among them admit the various issues with Islam, Qur'an, and Sharia.

Some even admit they're only bearing the tag 'Muslim' for the sake of socialization and identification.

The truthful ones can see the dangers of religious extremism/fanaticism in society, in a family.

Even though there's a verse in the Qur'an that says there's no compulsion in religion, most Muslims (following the Sunnah of the Prophet) force, coerce others to practice Islam.

A typical Muslim will deny their child basic human rights, maltreat them, and even disown them if they tell such a parent they want to leave Islam.

Do you think a society that doesn't allow religious freedom can grow? How will a people grow when they keep on killing their thinkers (freethinkers, atheists, philosophers, potential scientists)?

Can such a country become great when they demonize the irreligious as possessed people, meant to be killed or locked in prison?

It's sad Nigeria is still in dark age, where religious dogma and superstition stifles critical thinking.

This doesn't change the fact that life is both deterministic and probabilistic.

"Probability", as used in that context, is a mathematical/scientific term, different from "possibility".

You said there's no benefit a Muslim have over those who are not this is a lie in an authentic narration the Prophet said, Wondrous is the affair of the Muslim whenever good touches he's grateful and thankful and whenever harm touches him he's patient and forebearing this can only be found in a Muslim. In several verses Allah mentioned that the aqeebah (good ending) is for the pious. In a narration the Prophet said, the world is a prisoner for the believer and paradise for the disbeliever.
As for your claim that Islam started over 1400years by Prophet Muhammad this is another lie, Islam started way before Muhammad was born, he was the seal of the Prophets and Messengers. Some of the Prophets were mentioned by name and some were not and they are all Muslims, disbelieving in one of them nullifies your Islam.
Your claim about homo sapiens is an attempt by sociologists to rubbish the achievements of generations past by using such terminology to describe them , if the world should last for another 10,000years I'm sure subsequent generations will term us as primitive too. So, homo sapiens never existed.

Science can only prove linearities as for the non-linear science is insufficient in proving them due to the inherent limitations of science which are well known.

Thinking that thinking starts and ends at the doorsteps of atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and other than them is shallow let me shock you there are poets, doctors, mathematicians, astronomers, engineers who are religious people and have contributed immensely to the advancement of civilizations past and present.

As for extremism there will always be extremists who will go overboard it's now left for the authorities to deal with them, extremism of any kind is frowned at in Islam.
You're quick to mention that there's no compulsion in Islam which is a statement of fact,but you failed to mention that in Islam family ties means nothing if you don't share the same faith with a family member. A Hebrew who is a Muslim is closer to me than a blood relative who is upon a different faith, this doesn't stop me from being nice to the family member when need be.
The fact is we are never going to agree on these subject matters as we are diametrically opposed ideologically.

Chelsea are stepping up their plans to sign Romelu Lukaku this summer, with Erling Haaland 99% sure to stay at Dortmund.

A001:
In the post above, if one replaces Allah with Odin, Olohun or any of the thousands worshipped in history, one will still achieve greatness in life if one is destined to do so.

It all boils down to taking steps to achieve one's goals and luck. The harder one works, the luckier one becomes.

Prayers are mere wishes. In my opinion, life is mostly deterministic and sometimes probabilistic.

Should I remind you that Allah mentioned in the Quran that achieving worldly success is not faith dependent (meaning that you may be an atheist/pagan and still attain worldly if He wills) which is in support of my previous statement, what I'm letting you know is that you take the means necessary for success and whatever happens afterwards is purely based on pre-decree/predestination. Sometimes our prayers get answered instantly and sometimes it's answered by way of another thing different from the one we requested.
Don't come here telling me about probability and determinism because something can be probable yet impossible while something may be possible yet improbable.

Havertz10:
it takes more than being good to people to keep them loyal, most people always feel that giving someone small cash, gifts or food is enough, these people are human beings with aspirations and dreams, they want to have better their lives, nobody wants to be your driver, cleaner, houseboy or housegirl forever

nobody wants to be a servant to others, it's condition that causes it and some don't want to remain there for long, especially if the family has money and will intimidate them with wealth

Anybody that works for you, talk to them, discuss their plans with them, help them make plans, If they don't
have, give them goals and aspirations, they will remain loyal to you because their future is dependent on you

Cults, churches and other sects that have devoted members use pathway mapping to give people something to live for, even a cleaner that you see as nobody has dreams and if you don't tap into that quick, someone can use that vulnerability in your system to attack you

Pension, severance package and other benefits should be prioritized, sharing rice and 10k is nothing in the grand scheme of things

So because you assumed that an employer chose not to discuss with an employee about the employee's pain points is enough reason to kidnap the person? You always have reason to justify wrongdoing with plenty words even when such isn't justifiable the other day you wrote that Rashford is hiding behind racism to avoid criticism, another day you insinuated that you writing that you slept with your uncle's wife is for the purpose of garnering reactions after you were roundly condemned.
Yours is a case of nihilism when it suits your ego and decency when it do.

BlueMann:
At this point I'm looking forward to the Haaland alternatives. I hate when something drags for so long with little to no progress.

Berardi took his chance at the Euros. I might have to watch highlights and clips of him though.

The problem is/was not entirely the man. Nigeria's problem is unexplainable

Look at the comments on this thread[/color]

https://www.nairaland.com/6660700/fulaniman-austria-attacks-nigerian-olympic

Like I opined yesterday more than half of those commenting are worse than the incumbents, I may be wrong but a survey will prove that.
A neighbor of mine had breast cancer and a cash donation of was made to her in the sum of #500k but what get to her was less than the actual amount unfortunately the woman lost her life before her son received the amount. A relative of mine was kidnapped sometimes in 2015 and when she was released and investigation completed it was discovered that her driver who she treated like her son masterminded the kidnapping, the woman couldn't recover from the shock and suffered serious mental illness that led to her death in 2019. I could go on and on list the atrocities of Nigerians who did evil despite having no reason to do so in this kind of place where evil minded people abound in large numbers, how do you expect our leaders who are members of our society to be good?

Chelsea have enquired about signing Sassuolo striker Domenico Berardi, according to Sport Italia.

A001:
About the message in the picture: The same thing also applies to the foreign (imported) ones, be it Allah or Jehovah.

Relying on any god/God is a waste of time. What works is science and philosophy (taking responsibility for one's life).

Islam taught me to take the necessary steps needed to achieve a goal and out your trust in Allah, if that thing is meant to be it will happen by the permission of Allah and if it weren't meant to be it won't happen even if the entire world gathers to assist you. Allah said, We won't change the situation of a people until they change what's in their own self.

� Arsenal are now set to beat Spurs and West Ham to the signing of Tammy Abraham.

The deal will be an initial loan with an obligation to pay Chelsea £40m for a permanent transfer. [@andydillon70]

Trevor012:
Can you give examples on how the masses should act so that government officials will not steal funds meant for the people?

Ask some Nigerians what they will do differently from the set of leaders we have in public service today and their responses will answer your question.

Trevor012:
Fair share of what blame? What blame in relation to the government stealing the people money and resources?

Those in government are our brothers, cousins, uncles, nephews, nieces, fathers, mothers, sisters, and friends. If we all behave and act consciously then bad governance will disappear or at worst reduced to the bearest minimum.

BlueRayDick:
I bet u don't know the shiiit some of those guys pull off are some high level BEC fraud that brings the attention of FBI to their direction. That's the only way most of them are able to afford those big cars and luxury flats in high brow areas. I know there's no way they will make that much money doing the rudimentary romance scams

Those ones will be blaming government as if given the opportunity they won't do worse than those at the helm of affairs. One thing with us as a people is that we are quick to blame our leaders without accepting our own share of the blame.
We prefer get rich quick schemes without minding the harm we are causing others and we shy away from taking responsibility for certain actions.

Capaldi:
Can you show me anywhere they brought Islam here to be discussed? I am not talking about discussing religion in general then deviate to Islam.

Donjazet and Tjay abeg come and dig some posts because I don't know how to dig.

Some Bible scholars argued that there are some philosophical sayings that find their way into the Bible due to the influence of Greek Philosophers in Byzantine Empire.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible. Thomas Aquinas

Capaldi:
I have never seen any atheist bring up anything related to Islam to discuss here. It's always the peaceful religion Christianity they want to attack.

This ain't true I've argued with Donjazet on this thread severally and Tjay too that we exchanged harsh words. The reason why some of the atheists criticise Christianity is due to their Christian background and if you pay close attention to their arguments you will find it to be true albeit exaggerated.
Some of the things they are complaining about is what brought about the Reformation by Martin Luther King and Thomas Aquinas.

rosinkkit:
It is A Wicked LIE That Bandits Are Not Being Apprehended.

A lie calculated to embarrass his Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.

So we see silly stuff written, such as ''They arrested Kanu. Why can't they arrest bandits?''

''They arrested Sunday Igboho, Why can't they arrest bandits?''

WELL I DID SOME RESEARCH.

GOOGLE is such a useful tool for dismantling lies and propaganda.

Here's what I found on just the first page of Google:

Gunrunner for notorious bandits arrested with N3.5M, 2 motorcycles
https://dailypost.ng/2021/06/25/gunrunner-for-notorious-bandits-arrested-with-n3-5m-2-motorcycles/

This was just the FIRST PAGE of Google. Many more such arrests and apprehensions in subsequent pages.

Many bandits are rotting in jail as we speak.

They are not big names, so the media ignores them.

Now, arresting one man like Kanu or Igboho is a lot easier and more straightforward than arresting ALL the bandits in a 210 million strong country like Nigeria. There are thousands of them. So it is a longer effort.

Thank you.

Greatihex come and see pampered bandits

Chelsea are set to confirm another departure of a striker, Ike Ugbo, who has agreed terms for a permanent move to Genk.
Copied

airmark:
Away from your arguement, residents engaged bandits in a gun duel? So residents now have rights to use guns in Northern Nigeria. Remind me of what they are trying arrested Igboho guys for?

They were thugs and the place I'm talking about is in Okene, Kogi State a rugged area not core North and when police arrived they all dispersed.

Greatihex:
while the Northern "business men" continue to shoot down fighter jets unchallenged.

Intellectuals

You are too intelligent to be using this cheap sarcasm to make a nonexistent point. To you the bandits are going about their business unchallenged? This is a lie you keep telling yourself in consolation, there are several airstrikes carried out against bandits in NW, NC forests, so what you're saying what you don't know and mischievous at that.
About 2wks a man was kidnapped in the street I grew up in before the kidnappers left, residents engaged them in a gun duel alongside vigilantes but the kidnappers overpowered them and ended up killing a person and taking away the man they kidnapped. It is an insult to those who have lost their lives in some of the operations against bandits for you to assert that bandits are pampered.

Taqaballahu minna wa minkum

swiz123:
Sunday Igboho has been arrested by security operatives in Cotonou. Not trolling but I am tempted to ask why he didn't disappear

My concern is why are all these Che Guevara wannabes running away at the slightest bit of trouble and calling people who don't support their utopian dream cowards? If I were to be a revolutionary I'd rather die fighting for what I believe in than running at the slightest bit of trouble.

raumdeuter:
I am waiting for confirmation before I ask airmark how come all those bulletproof vests and jazz failed again

Maybe he didn't sacrifice his mother or his penis

We go talk about this later make I go prepare for Ileya.
