ehie:
the saddest thing about Yorubas is that they do not dare insult Hausas but always insult Igbos, Igbos are generally hard working and industrious,they account for most of the revenues coming into Lagos,they have brought into Nigeria concepts that they have picked up abroad,they do not drag government jobs with u,why the constant insults aimed at Igbos,they are not the ones relegating u to the background,I mean even the COS has more power or leverage than the vice president, they are not the ones who have to kill every year, beheading Christians,bombing and are not the murderous Fulani herdsmen,they are not the ones who turned rice into essential commodities, they are not the custom bosses who enter shops to buglarise them.I think you just pick on Igbos you deem them weak,weaker than u,and you alos do it for your own survival instinct,its a Shame really

Your composition is horrible even by Nairaland puerile standard.

Just from this thread

West : 257,815 candidates

East : 179,121 candidates

North : 142,380 candidates

Middle-belt : 139,066 Candidates

South South : 81,108 Candidates

Wake up bro.

Western education in Nigeria is indeed western.

So Kogi and Benue are now Middle-belt but when an appointment is given to anyone from either of the two states they will definitely be called Northerners. To flog you with pankeré dey hungry me aswear.

There is nothing to brag about here Kogi is doing relatively well when it comes to formal education without making noise. Another ignorance laden thread.

Nigerians lead others follow kudos to them when I grow up I'd love to be like them.

The ignorance is on the high yet they seem not to care.

If Niger Republic dam their side of River Niger we won't have enough water to power our hydroelectric power stations, this is the reason why they are paying us. With the level of ignorance displayed on this thread by some of NLs I sorry for our youths

Mcowubaba:
Buhari's Economic policies messed up the Country more, believe me, if GEJ continued I doubt dollar will be up to 400 per Naira.
Buhari is very archaic, he doesn't represent the Country well.
Him and his appointees, goes about different Countries saying Nigeria is Corrupt, how do you think an investor will come
Always tarnishing the image of the Country.

Yes GEJ and his Cronies stole, but I thought your Buhari said he has be recovering the money
Where is the money, the ones he has recovered
Is he using it for Medical checkup in London

Or he gave the Chief Grass cuter to use nd cut Grass

Can't the inject it into the Economy or has it all been propaganda

You can spend the recovered loots without legal backing and there is a bill yet to be passed by the NA.

MATCH MAKING.
.
Dear match-makers,
This is not intended to criticize your efforts, but a call to caution.
Eachtime I see online groups for matchmaking between opposite genders, I always imagine how they achieve their aims.
Marriage is a lifetime commitment and not a mere market one enters through one door and exits through another door almost immediately!
It is not every man who keeps beards that practices sunnah, its not every woman on hijab that has the correct aqeedah, even women from deviant sects also wear hijab and niqab!
So do not match make everyone with beards and jilbab, you may be matchmaking a jinn with a human being and you don't know.
.
Before you suggest a spouse for a bachelor or spinster, how well do you know that person?
Is it because you merely see him praying in the masjid?
Is it because you merely see her reciting Quran?
Is it because you observe him/her making good posts?
These are not sufficient reasons!
.
Kharsha bin hurr said,
One day, a man stood as a witness in a case before Umar bin khattab radiAllahu anhu.
Umar said, I don't know you, but that should not upset you, just show me anyone who knows you here?
A bedouin in the gathering stood up and said, oh amirul mumineen, I know him verywell
Umar said, what do you know him for?
The bedouin said, I know him for piety, I can vouch for him
Umar said, is he your neighbour whom you know about his night and day, to and fro?
The bedouin said, no
Umar said, have you done business with him to ascertain his trustworthiness?
The bedouin said, no
Umar said, have you ever travelled with him on a long journey such that you can testify for his good behaviour?
The bedouin said, No
Umar said, sit dow, you don't know him
Then umar turned to the man and said, show me someone who knows you!
(Al qubra 20400, irwa ul ghaleel 2637))
.
So I wonder how the admins of marital groups online manage to match-make people whom they don't even know except by their posts and pictures!!!
This is one of the reasons why divorce is on the increase today, everyone wants to be a matchmaker, but no one cares about the aftermath of the couples!
Matchmaking should not be a daily affair, do not take it as a profession, go and get a job !!!

We see some people specifying the 15th of Sha'baan with particular supplications and reciting the Qur.aan and performing naafilah prayers. So what is the correct position concerning this, and may Allaah reward you with good?

Response:

That which is correct is that fasting the 15th of Sha'baan or specifying it with reciting (the Qur.aan) or making (particular) supplications has no basis. So the day of the 15th of Sha'baan is like any other 15th day of other months. So from that which is known is that it has been legislated for a person to fast the 13th, 14th and 15th of every month, however, Sha'baan is characterised unlike the other months in that (except for Ramadhaan) the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to fast more in Sha'baan than any other month . So he used to either fast all of Sha'baan or just a little. Therefore, as long as it does not cause difficulty for a person, it is befitting to increase in fasting during Sha'baan in adherence to the example of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).

Standing the night of the 15th of Sha'baan in prayer and fasting during it's day

Question: Is standing the night of the 15th of Sha'baan in prayer and fasting during it's day legislated?

Response: Nothing firm and reliable has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he stood in prayer in the night and fasted during the day of the 15th of Sha'baan. So the night of the 15th of Sha'baan is like any other night, and if someone is a regular worshipper during other nights, then he may stand the night in prayer on this night without assuming anything special (because of it being the night of the 15th of Sha'baan). This is because specifying a time for any act of worship requires a authentic proof, so if there is no authentic proof then the act is regarded as an innovation and all innovations are misguidance. Likewsie, regarding specifically fasting during the 15th day of Sha'baan, then no (authentic) proof has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) to indicate the legislation of fasting on that particular day.

As for that which is mentioned from the ahaadeeth regarding this subject, then all of it is weak as the people of knowledge have indicated. However, whoever has the habit of fasting the 13th, 14th and 15th (of every month), then he can continue and fast during Sha'baan as he fasts during the other months, without assuming anything special about the 15th of Sha'baan. Also, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to increase in fasting during this month (Sha'baan), however, he did not particularise the 15th day, rather proceeded as per norm.

Giving sadaqah specifically on the night of 15th of Sha'baan

Question:

When my father was alive, he entrusted me to give sadaqah (charity) according to my means on the 15th of Sha'baan every year, and likewise I have been doing this ever since. However, some people have admonished me for doing so saying it is not permissible. So is giving sadaqah on the night of the 15th of Sha'baan permissible according to the willment of my father or not? Kindly advise us and may Allaah reward you with good.

Response:

To specify the giving of sadaqah on the night of the 15th of Sha'baan every year is an innovation, and despite your father having entrusted you with that, it is not permissible. It is befitting you give this sadaqah without specifying the night of the 15th of Sha'baan, rather do so every year and in whichever month, but without particularising any one month (on a consistent basis). However, it is permissible to do so in the month of Ramadhaan (for the evidence which indicates so).

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

It is a mentality of a defeatist so to say.

rainylad:
...Okay dont mind your business,wait for Biafran agitators to come explain things to you..They are on their way

Another defeatist

rainylad:
...No one has the time to convince anyone because we know your mission,besides this topic is an over-flogged one..Mind your business and go chart your own future..simple.

The topic is not an over flogged one reason been that those at the forefront of the movement have refused to disabuse the minds of those having doubts about what they stand to gain if Biafran agitators achieved their aim. As for charting my own future what if I say you should mind your business like you've retorted.

The OP raised an important important issue instead of Biafran supporters to refute him with facts they resorted to Afonja this and Afonja that. This is not how to convince others by throwing tantrums devoid of any meaningful thoughts.

Naij .com and fake news I hope when DSS comes after them people won't be shouting press freedom upandan.

Shaykh Rabee’ al-Madkhalee was asked:

Question:

❝Which Bida’ is it by which a person is counted as being outside the circle of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jamma’?❞

The Answer:

❝The Bida’ such as of al-Qadr [Those who reject pre-destination], Bida’ of al-Irjaa [Those who do not accept that Eemaan increases and decreases], Bida’ of ar-Rafd [The Shia, those who rejected the Sunnah and the Companions], Bida’ of Kharooj [Rebelling against the Muslim leader], and the Soofeeyah Bida’ such as the Mawlid [Celebrating the Prophet’s birthday] which has Shirk and any other types of Mawlid. Making journeys to graves and other types of Bida’ which are similar to this – may Allaah bless you.

In having loyalty to the Ahl-ul-Bida’ a person becomes from amongst them, and likewise if he aids them and defends them.

It was said to Ahmad bin Hanbal: ‘Indeed some people sit with the people of Bida’.’

Ahmad bin Hanbal said: ‘Advise him.’

The person said: ‘But he rejected the advice.’

Ahmad said: ‘Count him from amongst them.’

So, the one who sits with the Ahl-ul-Bida’ and associates himself with them then conclude from him that he is sick and that he is in agreement with these people, and regarding this point there are evidences, from them the saying of the Messenger:

‘The souls are enlisted soldiers, those who become familiar with each other, associate with one another, and those who oppose each other, differ.’

So this person who associates himself and becomes familiar with Ahl-ul-Bida’ then it is evident that there is an agreement and similarity between the matters, the two people and the two groups.

To clarify, what we have mentioned is concerning the one who leaves the circle of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jamma’.❞

Shaykh Ibn Bāz on Welcoming Ramadan

Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbdillāh b. Bāz - Allāh have mercy on him - was asked:

Your eminence, Shaykh, what is your advice to the Muslims as we welcome this virtuous month?

The Shaykh mentioned numerous verses from the Qurān and ḥadīth from the Prophet ﷺ in his answer. The full text can be referred to in his Fatāwā (15:50). His advice is summarised in the following points:

• My advice to all Muslims is to have taqwā of Allāh (fear him and protect against displeasing him by doing what he has commanded and leaving what he has forbidden).
• To welcome this great month and benefit from it through sincere, true tawbah (repentance) from all sins.
• To gain fiqh (understanding) about their religion and learn the rules and regulations of fasting and prayer.
• All Muslims are advised to fear Allāh, protect their fasting and keep it clear of all sins.
• It is prescribed for the Muslims in this month to exert themselves in doing more good, and hurrying to do it, including:
• reciting a lot of Qurān because this is the month of the Qurān.
• giving charity
• dhikr (remembrance) of Allāh
• advising each other and telling each other to do good and stay away from evil
• The reward of good deeds is multiplied during this month
• Sins are more heinous in this month
• The Muslim should therefore pay more attention during this month to fulfilling his duties, staying away from ḥarām, and doing extra good deeds of all types.
• The Muslim does all this sincerely, hoping in reward from Allāh and fearing his punishment.

The Shaykh concluded his answer with duʿā for the Muslims and their rulers, for their guidance and rectitude. He asked Allāh the exalted to enable us to reach the month of Ramadan and benefit by it. Āmīn.

Why is it that anytime drug trafficking is busted the suspects are mainly from the two major ethnic groups from Southern Nigeria? The earlier we tell ourselves the truth in this country the better for us, let us identify our strength and weakness and solve our problems with a holistic approach instead of blaming Northern Nigeria only for our woes.

Sounds great the mining sector sound like picking up traction litake by little. Then regulations on the explosives are good idea. Will the government be watching CCTV for these explosives round the clock? I would think company should.
