nkemchineke: How does this pic look bad in anyway?? The innocent man was just joking. There was a third person sitting on the chair working.
There is nothing bad in the pic. The wife is obviously an illiterate wife who sits at home.
Funny how some people reason these days. What sort of useless joke is that one? Between two married people. Is that how any responsible and respectable spouse should conduct his or herself? If that type of joke could be displayed when another person if around what more if they were alone? Not even single people o, married. If that sort of behavior was okay why are all married people not displaying such rubbish behavior? So to show that a person is not an illiterate she should sit back and watch her husband displaying such a shameless behavior with another married woman, and she should probably be displaying the same behavior abi? It's only 2017 but see how our morals are already swimming down the gutters.
Chai. On top this matter alone I done read different versions for nairaland only. Only God knows the true reason for the violent outburst, whether na keke driver beat him passenger or na soldier bully keke driver who over powered and burst his head oh or na soldier way the fight against thugs. Different versions and no way to know the actually story.
cristianisraeli: u truly want attention for real and i wont give u one..u picked the wrong time to quote me..am not in a good mood right now and am trying to control myself..so quit yapping... and have a nice life and continue putting ur boyfriend or husband thru hell,typical muslim ..anyone that does not agree with u is an infidel..look am not like those gullible christians.i know the true islam.i have lived in 4 different muslim countries..i know my enemy,go play with ur boyfriend/husband if ur bored and stop displaying ur muslim ignorance here,ok,because i said u didnt talk about the matter and u had to quickly edit it and talk about it..ur hypocrisy is brighter than the desert sun..u cant play me..i know people like u very very well,i can spot taqiyya from miles away..adios
Sorry but I just couldn't resist quoting this. I thought Muslim men are the ones who put women through hell which according to many of your comments is because women are always mistreated in Islam. How then am I supposed to put my husband through hell if I am the one to go through it? Anyways take care of your not so good mood and have a bad mood free night.
ollah1: It's the same thing I've said times without number. A Muslim does something then it's Islam and all Muslims are to blame but the same can't be said about Christians.
So that Jewish police haven't killed the Palestinains Muslims before or they still don't. Keep running from oillar to post. No question directed at you was answered.
If you attack a Christian with the truth then you are automatically a Muslim. Brilliant!
cristianisraeli: i really pity ur husband or boyfriend..u left the subject and started crying all over the place..wipe ur little tears hijab girl..i dont give a f if respond or not..u are really looking for attention..i forgot about this topic already...u are the biggest hypocrite i know..keep covering ur head under the hot summer sun..mrs i know english..incase u didnt know this is nairaland..go start ur own english blog
read my lips i dont care about ur silly reply,i called u out because u are bloody hypocrite and ugly as well,i know ur religion better than u do..so quit crying,who gives a f about u anyways...
[s] u just proved me right..typical muslim..go blow something up if ur tired of life[/s]
i always say the truth and it hurts u..am not like other christians that u know..am a militant one
if u notice my reply was quick and swift
pretender!!!!
Let me tell you something I have learned about you Mrs, and take no offense cause I'm not typing this to spite you. Only speaking the honest truth.
cristianisraeli: angel196 would love ur comment on this topic if u would
I really hope my long silence told you something.... Who am I kidding? You never learn. I actually saw your mentions long ago but I was too busy to attend to something so insignificant. Truth be told, even if I had not been I still wouldn't have answered you. I am only replying now because I am seriously bored.
Let me tell you something I have learned about you Mr, and take no offense cause I'm not typing this to spite you. Only speaking the honest truth.
From my interactions and what I've learned from your interactions with other people, not only Muslims but some Christians too, you have a hard time understanding English, I am putting that way cause I don't want to believe you are always intentionally misunderstanding people's point as long as they don't relate to yours. It is sometimes embarrassing cause its often glaring what that person is trying to say but you keep turning it upside down, like what happened in one of your conversation with one Christian.
One of such things understanding is that Islam is different from Muslims as Christianity is different from Christians. Amongst every religion there are bad seeds, people who don't follow the actual doctrine of the religion so are those people supposed to be used to judge the religion? Or do you see me blaming murder and adultery on Christianity just because many pastors have be caught with that act?
All the rubbish you spilled above is insignificant cause you are talking about people and not a religion. Did anybody say an Imam was perfect or did anyone say everyone of them are good and pure? No they aren't just as every pastor isn't. We have heard about a pastor using dead bodies as a foundation to build a church but you don't see me blaming it on Christianity do you?
If I want to debate about religion I don't use people, I use the laws, rules and what's written in their holy books. I'm not one to waste time and stupid insignificant things such as what a person or a country does to judge a religion.
Another thing is that you are a very big hypocrite that shouldn't even be partaking in a religious discussion cause you yourself know very little about religion. I personally hold nothing against those who don't have a religious belief but for someone who at least claims to have believe in God, his messengers and his holy book to say breaking God's rules are okay that's just pure ignorance, hypocrisy and false hood all merged in one.
I'd love to go on and on but I'd just be wasting time cause I'm certain you'll never take it into caution. This might be the last ever reply I'm going to grant you on any post what so ever. I prefer discussing with people who know the rules and acknowledge them not those who know the rules yet criticize others for following it.
If you truly want to hate and show disapproval, show it to Him who made the rules and laws, not those who follow them. Have a nice life.

You do hate islam so dont pretend. I know you very well I I've seen many of your discussions and they are always against islam. So I'm not under the illusion of your so called truth. I also read the comments some of your fellow christians made about you. You are only ever against Islam for one reason or the other which are all falsehood.
So what if my husband is allowed to marry more wives? Should i walk around naked because of that? Solomon that married a lot more than 4, were his wives walking around half naked?
Who said I was better than anyone? We are talking about the rule of God, not that you value it anyways. They shouldn't be forced to wear it true cause it is God who made that rule that should punish those who break His rules. If He didnt ask them to enforce it.
Indeed the Quran talked about chastisement but I'm sure in your own dictionary, that only means beating. right? I wont even waste my time trying to correct your misconception by posting vereses and hadith's cause you will never correct it.
But I only debate religion with open-minded people not ones so blinded by hatred and lies.
First she was his sexslave then she was his wife, which is it really? But hey I'm not gonna distrupt your illusion of what you posted but i will ask just one question for you before i ignore you as always.
Assuming all you did say the prophet did was indeed true which isn't anyways but just to humor you.
According to the bible, did he really do anything wrong by having slaves or marrying them?
Deuteronomy 21:10-11New International Version (NIV)
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife.
In short in a verse where men were asked to kill boys and girls who arent virgins but they should keep the virgins to themselves.
Numbers 31:17-19New International Version (NIV) 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
No, according to your Bible, he didn't really do anything wrong so I'll leave those verses for your conscience to chew on, if you have any at all.
Just because you don't follow the rules God laid down, doesn't give you any right to judge those who still take His words in all seriousness. Most of those laws are in the bible too, you don't just take God's rules seriously. You display hypocrisy at it's highest peak.
That's all you are going to get from me. Have a nice day.

aumeehn: oga calm down take a chill pill! There's no compulsion in Religion, but as long as you're a muslim you must abide by its rules and regulations and if yyou think the are rules are too harsh you can change your religion to whatever that suit you, first let me educate on you on the importance of Hijab, when a woman didn't cover her body From head to toe sshowcasing her nudity there's no way anybody can respect her, and in islam women are respected and treated like queens, a typical example if you want to see for yourself travel down to the North Women when married are just living in a house eating and drinking what the man provides she doesn't work to help him with money or help pay kids school fees she is a woman she doesn't deserve to suffer she's meant to be respected! All this your western propaganda and hate about islam will take you nowhere just take your time learn what islam is all about try and read the Qur'an and understand its meaning you will know what i'm talking about! Quran is almost 1500 years old yet no single dot wwas changed or modified Quran is the complete way of life read the holy book and enlighten yourself.
Seriously, I'll advice you not to waste your precious time with that guy. He is not after the truth nor is he after what is right. He is only after antagonizing Islam and spreading falsehood.
He actually knows that most of the rules in the Qur'an exist in the Bible too but unlike Muslims, he isn't after following the rules of God so why argue with someone like that?
He is only after criticizing islam so no matter what truth you say he will never accept it.
I am a Muslim woman and I feel naked without my hijab so I don't use it because it is compulsory. But seriously, you cant argue with someone who sees nothing wrong and bad with people walking around half naked.
Don't engage him in any discussion. I have witnessed many of his discussions on this forum and I've had a few with but it all comes down to his hatred for Islam. I have only ever seen him posting things against Islam. No matter what you say, he will always remain antagonistic towards our religion.
elda2303: Arabic has been in our school curriculum for as long as I can remember, used to see it in a section of waec syllabus back then & for that long who honestly em don epp; if nt our lovely northern brothers. So wats the fuss. How has it helped our educational system, of all the pertinent languages to pair with french it had to be Arabic. Are we going forwards or backwards. Wouldn't it had made logical sense to add something else since Arabic has always been there. Bearing in mind our country is so fractured as can be seen on this forum why give an opening to more unnecessary sentiments and push the bigotry. Good thing u studied Arabic guess it has made your day to day activity easier.
As a side note even though I don't wanna get into it But JESUS spoke aramic, just so u know, which was the predominant language during his time & the early Christians greek, so if xtians desire to be sentimental it should be towards aramic & greek not hebrew ok. So don't try to tie xtianity to hebrew just because u r trying to make a point about the prophet it makes the comparison mute.
You got the last phase of your writeup wrong actually. He did speak Aramaic but the original language of the Jews, which is what they all were is Hebrews. And please if you like, you can conduct a research and you will see that Christians actually favour hebrews.
Thank you for mentioning that Arabic has been in the curiculum for long, but only muslim schools do it over french. So how would you know if it has actually helped if you dont live around those that did it. I know personally those who did it and it helped them when they got jobs in Arabic speaking countries, and i dont mean religion related business like doctors, enginerrs, oil sector workers, etc
cristianisraeli: i trust...u will surely defend it...arabic is islam and islam is arabic.. and arabic is not just a language..it was first spoken by muslims in the arabian pennisula.so its muslim language as far as everyone is concerned,even if u have some arab and christian jews that speak arabic....no matter what u cant divorce them
Really? So you have probably been to an Arabic class and you heard them talking about Islam abi? Let me ask you please, before the coming of Islam, what were the Arabs speaking? Was it after the Quran was written that everyone magically started speaking Arabic?
I know you, you always associate things with religion anyways.
Arabic and Islam are married yet there are thousands of Christians who speak Arabic. Arabic and Islam are married yet we have Arabic bibles. Maybe i you mean one can't learn a language without learning and accepting their religion. Absolutely funny.
Arabic is just a language, one of the most spoken in the world. I have nonblood related uncle in an Arab country who is not a Muslim, is a doctor but yet understands Arabic. Again I did Arabic in school, I have Arabic textbooks and they have nothing to do with Islam. You can choose to remain in denial, I don't give two cents, that's what you are good at.
The truth alwaus remain the truth, you can try twist it to deceive gullible people but I'm not one of them. I did French, I did Arabic and I did religious studies, I know the differences between each of them. Go to school and study it, you might know the difference too, there's still hope.
elda2303: Don't need to search the old testament was translated to Greek @ about 300AD or so but the new was written In greek. The point of this convo was not to give u a chance to be anti sememtic. Simply put the bible does not equate to hebrew language more so u will be hard pressed to see any copy of the bible in the aforementioned language. The bible as it is today was translated from Greek not hebrew. If the holy Quran wants to remain in Arabic how does dat affect the bible & what exactly is your point.
Only the new testament was written in Greek as was reported. The ones before was Aramaic and Hebrew. But to look at it critically, the original language of the Jews is Hebrew which is where Jesus, Moses and the rest originated from. That makes Hebrew of more sentimental values to Christians. But still, its just a language.
The reason people are against Arabic is because that's the language of the prophet, who was an Arab, and the language the Quran was written in. But what they fail to understand is that Arabic is still just a language. There are Arabic bibles too so what's the big deal?
Personally, I did Arabic in school and it was in no way related to religious studies. Just same as learning French, my name is this, this is a book, that is a house and stuffs like that. I would have loved to learn many more languages, I'm even interested in Hebrew but that won't make me a Jew nor will it mean adding it to our curriculum is having an ulterior motives for something else.
In Africa alone, Arabic is one of the most spoken languages, including French which is already in our curriculum and Swahili. If you want them to add more alternative, say so not shouting about an ulterior motive.
elda2303: Some were also written in old Greek mainly the new testament. If some were written in aramic which became d predominant language at d time. The bulk of the old testament was written in an arcahic form of Hebrew that is no longer spoken. So if some was in Greek, how's d bible primarily a hebrew txt.
Was it written in Greek or translated into Greek? Search again. But anyways, the main are Aramaic and Hebrew, which was the main language of the Jews. But yes I heard the new testament was written in an old Greek language. But hey, what's the main language of the Jews where the prophets came from?
The difference between bible and Quran is that the Quran maintained one language while the bible didn't.
Lightening: What is the value of Arabic studies? Why are you all Arabic scholars heading to Europe and America and not Arab countries?
Hahaha, very funny. So you mean no Arabic scholar goes to Arab countries or Arabic speaking countries or what? Even in Europe there are some Arabs working there or is it only in France that French is useful? Even here in Nigeria, French lecturers are treasured. There are many non Arabs who get jobs in Arab countries and need the knowledge of Arabic to cope.
elda2303: Nawa o.. d bible wasn't originally written in Hebrew before u go talk Wetin u no sabi. so don't bring in semitism into the convo
What was the bible originally written in? Enlighten us. Only few was written in Aramaic but the main language was Hebrew. Or can you tell us any other language?
d33types: Arabic studies is not Arabic studies without the quoran. The major text book is the quoran. I live in the north.
So what if you lived in the north? This shows your level of ignorance. Just because you've Nev seen Arabic books in your life doesn't mean they don't exist.
Arabic is not Arabic studies without Quran? That the most preposterous statement I've ever heard. So before Quran came into existence, there was no Arabic abi? Very enlightening.
So you mean, there is no Hebrew studies without the bible?
alBHAGDADI: As a Muslim, will you support it if the federal government decide to allow Jewish Studies in our school?
Why not? As long as it's made optional too.
My siblings went to a school in the north and were forced to do CRK but guess what? None of us made a fuss about it.
The funny thing is that Christians go to schools, sharing bibles to students irrespective of their religion but guess what? Nobody shouted christianization but had it been reverse was the case.....I think we all know what the result will be.
I personally received more than 2 bibles from my primary and secondary school and my parents never discouraged us from receiving it. Not even once.
alBHAGDADI: In a country with over 200 languages, you Islamic people think it is best to import a foreign language for Nigerians to study when we haven't finished studying the ones we have here. English language is still a language we are yet to fully understand, yet you want t to bring in an Arabic language that adds no value to one's life no matter where he goes. Do you know that children of nowadays don't fully understand their mother tongue nor can they write in it. But terrorists want to import an Arabic demonic sounding language.
If so, then they should also include Jewish language studies.
God, this is so embarrassing.
All this while people said French had no value but graduate of French keep getting more employment opportunities. Do you know there are actually Christians who understand and speak Arabic fluently? I doubt you do. Hate is just blinding you. Do you honestly think Arabic has anything to do with religion? How terrible.
If you want another alternative from French and Arabic please say so and ask for not shouting islamization like uneducated fellows.
Arabic is one of the top 3 most spoken language in Africa, it only seems logical to add it but if you don't want it, ask them to add Swahili or even Hebrew. Arabic was made optional, an alternative to French. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything.
alBHAGDADI: You will never see Muslims come here to condemn this move that undermines the right of others. But if such was done against Islam, you will see the way they will blowing hot, not verbally but by killing innocent humans.
Their aim is for Islam to dominate and take over the world. Ask them how they want to achieve it, they become mute. Their being mute doesn't mean that they don't know how they want to achieve it. Rather, they keep mute because if they should speak they will simply shock. The tactics is to migrate to non-islamic regions and start to demanding for shariah law like London is experiencing now. They move to out-breed the owners of the land so that they can have voting power. When that seems slow, they use terrorism to put fear in people who in turn give them their demands so as not to see chaos. That is why you see western Nations appeasing them. What those nations don't know is that the more you give to Satan, the more he demands cos he's never satisfied.
When they manage to get power, religious freedom is thrown into the gutter. All the rights they enjoyed as a minority religion is denied to the new minority religion. Isn't that what we are experiencing in Nigeria now as they now have power? They are gradually using terrorism, Fulani herdsmen and now anti-education to fight against the people of the Living God called YAHWEH.
Where are the so-called Men Of God or Generals of God now that there is a battle against His Children? Where is Pastor Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyakhilome, and all the comfortable private jet flying pastors? Do they think that fighting in God's camp entails flamboyance and opulence?
If this curriculum flies, then all the pastors that supported Buhari will face God's judgement cos they failed Him, that's if they were really His called servants.
Seriously, I don't know who people who are supposedly educated can be ignorant and gullible.
Who told you CRK was removed and IRK was left there? Have you perhaps searched to confirm this allegations?
Ignorance and gullibility is what some so called spiritual leaders use people as puppets to do their biddings.
How can someone tell me that Arabic and IRS is the same thing? If it was even an illiterate, we'll pardon that sort of statement.
Worshippers leaving a London mosque just after midnight on Monday were helping an unwell elderly man when a van deliberately targeted them, eyewitnesses said, driven by an attacker who shouted: “I want to kill all Muslims”.
A woman holds a sign reading “Leave our Muslim Neighbours Alone”, as she stands near the scene in Finsbury Park area of north London after a vehicle was driven into pedestrians, on June 19, 2017. All the victims of a van attack on worshippers near a north London mosque were Muslim but the man who died at the scene may have been taken ill before it happened, police said on Monday. / AFP PHOTO The van swerved towards the people outside the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London just as they began to assist the man, who had collapsed.
“He turned left into the alleyway, and he just drove at people,” eyewitness Abdiqadir Warra said.
“Some of them he took a few metres. A man was inside in the van, I saw with my eye, and the old man was also on the ground, and I see some people were also injured. Some of them were very bad.”
Locals then pounced on the driver and pinned him down while waiting for the police to arrive.
“The man, he tried to escape… but they caught the driver,” Warra said.
Eyewitness Khalid Amin told BBC television that the van turned deliberately left and “just hit the people”.
One man was trapped under the van and people tried to lift up the vehicle to free him.
Amin said that when people seized the driver, “he was shouting: ‘All Muslims, I want to kill all Muslims.’ Literally, he said that. Word by word.”
Police said that one man had been arrested at the scene and that no further suspects had been identified.
– ‘It’s a terrorist attack’ –
Another eyewitness, who gave his name as Athman, said: “People were screaming: ‘It’s a terrorist attack, it’s an attack, this guy attacked us’, and I had to run back and tried to save people who were still alive and giving water, helping the police.
“While he was in the police van he was waving for victory, he was very happy.
“He chose the time and he chose the place and he chose his target. So, it’s the holy month of Ramadan.
“The time, he was planning for it, the target, he was planning for it, and the place — outside a mosque.”
Mohammed Kozbar, chairman of the Finsbury Park Mosque, called for Prime Minister Theresa May’s government to take action.
The incident came after two terror attacks in London in the past three months involving vehicles ploughing into crowds of people, as well as the suicide bombing attack at a Manchester pop concert in May.
“People now have a big question about safety in London after all these terrorist attacks, and we want to assure them that they are safe, and that’s why we want to work with the police,” Kozbar said.
“People feel unsafe because after the terrorist attacks of London, Manchester, the increase of Islamophobia and hate crimes,” he added. “This is very worrying to the Muslim community.”
Several bunches of flowers had been deposited outside the mosque as commuters went to work on Monday morning.

It's such a pity how gullible and ignorant most Nigerians are when it comes to religion. Most of them think sentimental but never use their own brain to think beyond what some so called spiritual leaders are trying to spoon feed them.
I want all those people shouting islamization to answer these questions,
Is IRK and Arabic the same thing?
Do you know that Arabic has nothing to do with religion but is just a language?
Do you know that there are Christians who understand and speak Arabic fluently?
As per what I read, I read that that Arabic everyone is shouting about was made an alternative to French so what's the big deal? If you don't like the language why not ask them to add another alternative like Swahili or even Hebrews if that would make it more acceptable to you. Stop making a mountain out of a mere hill, and stop displaying such terrible ignorance. Arabic and IRS are in no way the same.
Zeddicuz: Our minister of education is an unrepentant islamic jihadist,a proffessor of ARABIC and a promoter of evil,we must all join hands with CAN,d apostle nd odas to resist this satamic plan,we say it again,any attempt to Islamize Nigeria through the classrooms shall be VIOLENTLY,VEHEMENTLY AND STUBBORNLY RESISTED.
Please let me ask you a simple question, what is the similarities between IRS and Arabic?
QueenOfNepal: It can only happen in the North and SW because there will be no Islamic teachers in SE/SS.
Buhari evil plans has failed. He ll not return to continue his evils
First of all, sorry to point this out to you, CAN and other regrettably ignorant people, IRK and Arabic is not the same. If you really want to fight the implementation, ask them to include Hebrew as an alternative not CRK.
IRK and CRK are religious based, Arabic and Hebrew are languages. It seems nobody can even acknowledge that fact.
I don't know why the people of this country are so intolerant. Most of the time Christians go to schools to distribute bibles to students irrespectibe of their religion but I'm certain if those moves were made by muslims people will start shouting Islamization.
About your statement on Buhari not returning to continue his evils . Fortunately, you aren't God. Plus you are a big hypocrite. What did the bible say about always loving your enemies and praying for them? Very funny. People always love quoting things when it suits their need but never following or doing them.
BuariCopyPaste: Your barbaric kinsmen would have lynched him like that 14 year old boy killed for stealing Garri
Yet you claim its not tribal war. Why are you always attacking other tribes if you have nothing against them?
Seriously, nairaland is one of the forum promoting this tribal hate and verbal conflict. Now most people on this forum are praying for bad news just to have an excuse to attack each other. How awful.
One can't even scroll through a page in peace. This is just a show of immaturity. I doubt a busy and hardworking person would have time to trade tribal and religious insults.
I was only reasoning out the answers which is a very logical way of doing things.
These two don't have any agreement as it stands so referring to that agreement is just like trying to refer to a non existing matter
What I'm asking is that how will you solve the matter with the present situation.
Seriously? You are still being sentimental. First they have an unwritten agreement and now they don't have any agreement? Which one is it?
I'm certain they definitely did have an agreement even if it was verbal cause I don't think the egg donor forced the woman who carried the baby to do so. You decided to be a surrogate, honor the agreement.
Whether verbal or written, an agreement is an agreement. Go through my first comment again please.
Someone who is honest and trustworthy will definitely honor an agreement irrespective of it being written or not. The child should go to the egg donor not the one who carried the baby.
She made a decision to be a surrogate, now she has to face the consequences.
