Onye mmuo ojo gi. I dont have your time, after ranting you will exit.

You're a true definition of cowardice ewu Kenya. Flat track bully.

Neoguru1:
yours is 3words size, gobalization is lies, fallacy and political correctness, brexit. President D.J. Trump et al proves it.

Dummy because brexit, Trump and populism are all on the rise doesn't negate the fact that we are in era of globalization. Using globalization in a restricted manner is a sign of shallowness and subzero IQ.

Neoguru1:
so who made you the chief spokesman for Igbo, abeg go sidon.

In this era of globalisation you're still stuck in my tribe syndrome goan update your 1bit size brain.

SalamRushdie:
Bosnian Muslim , Bosnian muslim receiving arms from Pakistan

Just like how some renegades were receiving arms from France and Israel some years back.

Neoguru4:
Mr chief speaker for Igbos how many times have you come back home to see your people instead of staying in lagos or abuja writing trash.

Your attempt to be clever by half is dead on arrival as I've never claimed to be an Igbo person and even if I'm I'd be proud of my identity. Secondly, I don't stay in Lagos or Abuja I reside in my state of origin. My padi during NYSC was an Igbo person from Imo and one of my mum's friends is from Imo and also I had an experience with an Igbo person from Enugu and it was all love.

The OP must be from a state other than Imo, Enugu, Abia, and Ebonyi. According to the constitution of the FRN he's eligible to contest and be voted for so shove your advice. You don't speak for the majority of Igbos and Ebonyi people.

panafrican:
Do you know how many civilians where killed by NATO
bombs in the war against Yugoslavia?
Ask General Clark why his men and women were greeted with disdain when they came back to America. W.Clark was NATO commander out there.

The point of discussion is not about NATO abi Pato rather we are discussing about the atrocities of Milesovic which is the killings of Bosniaks and he's been made to pay for his crimes.

El-Rufai is out to silence the priests- Read Nicolo Machiavelli's The Prince and you'll know that these people are rogues.

France are in full support of Biafra but to avoid diplomatic rift they've got to say what's attributed to them in that publication.

The same man who ordered the killing of Bosnians, you must be high on wickedness.

OP you raised a valid observation and I believe measures must be put in place to forestall further occurrence. If not for our Inefficient criminal justice system the perpetrators from both sides ought to have been brought to book to serve as deterrent to others.
Nobody is a coward and nobody is inferior. We all have the good, bad and ugly in our respective ethnic groups and the earlier we realize this the better for us. Peace out

With sustained efforts to diversify our mono product economy and peace in the ND region we shall get there.
God bless Nigeria

NDans should be given top priority if they meet the criteria needed.

It is ironic that in the same month that xenophobic violence erupted again in South Africa, our president called for “radical economic transformation” in his annual state of the nation address. Ironic, because much of the xenophobic violence in which poor, black South Africans are killing their neighbours is premised on the mob mentality that “foreigners steal our jobs” – job creation being at the core of a radically transformed economy.
However, Zuma’s calling for anything “radical” is a publicity stunt; a feeble attempt of the African National Congress (ANC) to hijack the lingo of the zeitgeist and appear politically relevant to an impatient and cynical electorate. A fiscally conservative finance minister like Pravin Gordhan certainly was not going to heed the call for “radical” economic anything in his follow-up budget speech. It is more of the same: a postcolonial dependence on a Robin Hood economy. Unsurprisingly, millions of black South Africans are left to wallow in jobless, landless, foodless, dignity-less poverty, seething with anger; an anger festering like a septic wound, overpowering the ways in which decent human beings start to see the world.
Because once all of the ideological debates and rhetoric are stripped away from the phrase “radical economic transformation”, we are left with the very basic and reasonable idea that ultimately everyone wants access to dignity – to earn a decent income and live a decent life. This includes seemingly radical ideas, such as getting ownership of land, getting access to means of production and capital, and getting access to quality higher education.
The foreign nationals being killed since the start of Jacob Zuma’s presidency – in Alexandra in 2008, in Isipingo and Durban in 2015, or Khayelitsha and Rosettenville in 2017 – are ironically not the foreign nationals who own land, who have access to the means of production and capital, or are vying for limited and expensive places in our higher education institutes (and certainly not the people applying for jobs that are going to be heavily taxed).
They are informal traders, shop owners, car guards, and innovative entrepreneurs who are barely making ends meet themselves. The imagined jobs that are being stolen do not exist. In a country where 26.5% of the employable population is unemployed , it is evident that our economy is anything but radical. Such calls for “radical” change have yet to be met with plans and processes that are structurally and philosophically different from whatever it is the ANC has been doing for the past 23 years.
So the problem remains: poor, black South Africans ignore or rationalise a failing government by discursively creating an illogical narrative in which non-existent jobs in a motionless economy are being stolen by people who are as desperate and disillusioned as they are.
“Stealing our jobs” becomes part of the social machinery fuelling lazy stereotypes that are intellectually dishonest and morally inexcusable, creating and maintaining a vicious cycle of discursive violence on foreign nationals, erupting in physical violence.
This kind of power wielded by South Africans is part of a despairing attempt to assert some kind – any kind – of control in a powerless situation of deprivation. But this narrative power must not be underestimated. Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reminds us, “Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person”.
Single stories – “they’re stealing our jobs” – are not innocent exasperations; they are dangerous forewords to violent endings. Constructing, demonising, and dividing our fellow humans into foreign ‘others’ has been the modus operandi of colonialism in Africa.
Present day xenophobia, as the narrative and material extension of these tactics, points to an enduring form of mental colonisation in which we turn against the very people who share our pain.
These perpetrators of violence have therefore misdiagnosed the problem, relying on the oldest form of fake news – stereotypes – to start an unjust war that is Afrophobic in its origins and will remain such as long as we do not change these justificatory narratives and types of conversations being had about each other. If anything, this anger needs to be channelled towards a lacklustre government intent on enriching itself at the top, while the “masses” kill each other for the breadcrumbs at the bottom.

And what stopped her from speaking up before Otobo came with her surprise package? Nawa o!

This thread is almost a year old check the date.

Judging from comments from NL members I love my decision of not settling down outside my state of origin. It is well sha.

The way we celebrate savagery in this country is appalling and coming from the educated ones shows how far behind we are. We can't solve domestic abuse amicably how do we intend to solve 22nd century issues that are far more complex? SAns and the world at large will be laughing at our tomfoolery. There is no winner in any war as both sides will definitely end up with destructed lives and properties to contend with.
I discovered most of the cheerleaders are living in a safe haven cheering and urging their tribesmen to fight a war they won't partake in, let the South Sudan civil war and Nigerian civil teach us a lesson.

O Muslims! Learn and Understand The importance of aqeedah for the Muslim - Sheikh al-Fawzan
Question:
There is (one) here who is lax concerning the importance of aqeedah (creed) and he is of the opinion that eemaan (faith) is sufficient (for him). Do you have any clarification concerning the importance of aqeedah for the Muslim and how it reflects on his life, on his relationship with the (Muslim) society (as a whole) and with the non-Muslims?
Answer:
In the name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. All praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of the all that exists. And may the peace and blessings be upon our Messenger Muhammad and upon his family and his companions. To proceed:
The correctness of aqeedah is the (most) fundamental principle. This is because bearing witness that Laa Ilaaha Illa Allaah Wa Anna Muhammaddan Rasool Allaah (there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad is His Messenger), is the first pillar of Islaam. And the Messengers called firstly, to the correction of the aqeedah because all acts of worship and behavior depends on it and without the correct aqeedah, there is no benefit from (these) deeds. The Most High said: "But if they had joined in worship others with Allaah, all that they used to do would have been of no benefit to them." - Al-An'am (6):88
And their deeds became invalid.
And Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) said: "Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Dhaalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers." - Al-Maa'idah (5):72
And the Most High said: "And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)), as it was to those (Allaah's Messengers) before you: 'If you join others in worship with Allaah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.'" - Az-Zumar (39):65
From these texts and other than them, it is clear that the correction of the aqeedah is from the important (affairs) and at the forefront of the da'wah. And the first (affair) to establish for the da'wah is the correction of aqeedah. And the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) remained in Makkah for thirteen years after his mission began, calling the people to the correction of the aqeedah and to at-Tawheed. And the faraa'id (obligatory acts of worship) were not revealed to him except in Madeenah.
Yes, and the salaat was made obligatory upon him in Makkah before the hijrah and the rest of the shar'iah was imposed on him after the hijrah. From this we have evidence that deeds are not accepted except after the correction of the aqeedah.
And this is for the one who says: That the eemaan is sufficient without having interest for the aqeedah.
This is contradictory because eemaan is not eemaan except if the aqeedah is correct. And if the aqeedah is not correct, then there is no eemaan, and (there is) no deen (religion).

I thought about henna today! What is tabarruj?

wanton display of one's beauty to Non-Mahram

Inna lillahi Wa inna illayhi rajiun- To Allāh we belong and to him we all shall return. One day all that will remain of each and every one of us will be memories, so be prepared for the eternal journey my people.

TABARRUJ OF HENNA
.
Aisha radiallahu anha said,
Shyness is the best jewellery of a muslim woman. (ahqam un nisaa li ibn jawziy)
.
Applying henna is obtainable in islam, yes, you can apply it on your hands or on your legs.
It doesn't necessarily mean it must be your wedding or when you are attending a wedding only, its not a hausa culture either!
You can just do it any time you wish, its an adornment for women.
For the records, know that it did not originate from india, its been existing long before india got its name!
So do not think henna started from chopra and kareena in bollywood!
It started long before their mothers gave birth to them! Its a ne'emah from Allah to the muslim women, even the unbelievers envy the henna!
.
Even the prophet sallalahu alayhi wassalam used to apply a medicinal kind of henna!
Salma, a female servant of the prophet said that,
"Never did a wound or the prick of a thorn afflict the prophet except that he would put henna on it
(As- saheehah 2059)
.
However, many of the sisters today now wear henna and expose their hands for all and sundry to see it.
Henna is something very attractive and it can easily catch the eyes of a man, you should apply it for your beautification sake and for your husband, when you step out, cover the hands with gloves and the legs with socks, so that the rays of the sun won't dry it off or fade it away!
Its not for the whole world to see but for your husband/family!
.
However if your husband doesn't like it, then you may choose not to apply it.
Aisha radiAllahu anha said,
I do not apply henna on my hands because the prophet sallalahu alayhi wassalam doesn't like the smell of henna (tabaqat li ibn sa'ad 29/212)
.
So as a sister, you should be shy of attracting attention to yourself with your henna, its as if its now a condition for women attending weddings to apply henna! Even when u attend your friends wedding, you don't need to display it, the bride too doesn't need to display her own, keep them inside glooves!
Learn the concept of tabarruj, for it has many facets, else you will fall into it without realizing it.
.
Umar bin khattab radiAllahu anhu said,
Teach your women suratun nur.
(Al musannaf li abdur razaq)
.
We now see various pictures of henna hands and henna legs all over the internet and social media, we ask Allah for safety!

The border issues must be resolved first before any other thing or else they risk conflagration of crisis among those living in the areas. Anambra started the exploration but the lands doesn't belong to them exclusively so the 3 states should join hands and sign an agreement as a joint business venture. Let's employ diplomacy and tact in solving issues of grave concern.

You bondage fellow.

gay leave off my mention

Go and sit on the floor.

Sitting on the floor is not a problem for a gymnast. Oya crawl back to your misery.

This is pure savagery and nothing else.
What do we gain from all these mindless killings? And the sad thing is that some morons are already basking in the euphoria of perceived victory. What a lost and cursed generation.

This is comical aswear. FG should allow those who want to secede to secede enough of these shenanigans. It seems some of us allow emotions to cloud our sense of reasoning

I fund it hard to believe this news publication but if what's been reported is true and factual, then I blame the person who initiated the problem.
And Oga Seun please do something about tribal keyboard warriors.
