rajiade: Its only a stupid person like u that would see stupidity in my question.

If God had said 'if you don't go to church, no air for you'. If you commit adultery no food for you. If you don't honor your father, no water for you. Just like your Daddy in the Lord placed a condition on a soul he has no control over 'if you don't convert to christianity, no help/assistance for you.

Yeye guinea fowl.

And your God would have attached these conditions to something he was yet to create? Anyway, you seem very stupidd so my point is that your God as creative as he may be, it is not possible for him to attach conditions to something he was yet to create. Existence precedes essence.

rajiade: If God, your creator had attached conditions to your existence, what would be your condition today?

I am sorry, you ask too many stupiddd questions. Why would his creator attach a condition to his creation? How could the creator have attached a condition to something he is yet to create? There is an existential question issue here?

Jarus: I'm highly surprised you believe worldly wealth is a measure of ability or otherwise of a God.
In any case, the cousin that converted to Christianity is the poorest in our own family, with her husband. Yet, we didn't abandon her. And in all modesty, just 2 days ago, she sent me an sms for financial assistance and, as usual, I offered.

The biggest trick people fall for in this part of the world is this 'serve my God and become rich' preachment. I wonder how people fall this kind of things when an average common sense is enough to know that there are poor Muslims, just as there are Christians and ditto for poverty. After all, Abiola, richest man in Nigeria until his death was a Muslim, same for his successor, Aliko Dangote.

I remember when we were in the university, our Christian and fellowship-going friends made it look as if academic success is a function of their spirituality. Every semester, they wondered how those of us that were not just Muslims, but practising ones, trounced them in exams.

My point is, it is no brainer that anybody can succeed in this world, in terms of material possession or some other possessions, irrespective of religious affiliation.

All this my God cannot make you poor is arrant BS to me. If you want to preach to me, go to the root of my belief, compare the basis, the foundations, the scriptures, the fundamental beliefs and let's compare notes on that. Not some tale by moonlight that I am poor because I don't worship your God.

He is just trolling!

ahf: I believe the university is "privately owned"
Bills for services rendered are with the institutions involved (PHCN, Water Board etc)
Taxes with the state and federal tax boards.
If he's in violation of any of these, those parties should handle it appropriately.

Why does everyone suddenly believe that wealth always brings happiness?

So what, if he refuses to share wealth with her? That's he's choice !!
For all you know, someone else from he's action can decide to give her much more than Oyedepo could.

The big diff between us and people from other countries/continents is that " THEY STAND FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN"
irrespective of benefits/demerits. - AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU GREAT.

In case some haven't seen this article, pls read (Nigerian Religious Definitions):-http://dailytimes.com.ng/opinion/how-worship-nigerian-god

Why are you so stupidddd? The school is on a land that belongs to the FG of Nigeri, not the FG of Oyedepo or Jesus. If the FGN says no discrimination on the basis of religion, so shall it be. Now if he wants to make religion a factor in the admission process, he should go somewhere else where the laws of the land permit such nonsense. As long as he wants to remain in Nigeria, it is illegal for him to discriminate people based on their beliefs.

rajiade: Hmmm, and can you marry a muslim lady?
Or[b] just looking for one to useless[/b].

How can a human being 'useless' another human being? What kind of stupiddd mentality is that?

Christians should follow Jesus's example, should they not? Or at a minimum, they are under no obligation to be held to a standard different from his, yes?

Oh yeah? Like not flying in a GIV? Not using the internet because you know p/o/r/n is just a click away? And I hope he can walk on the Atlantic ocean, if he cant, smh, he has fallen short of the standard Jesus set. If he feels no qualms about not being able to walk on water, why should giving her Muslim sister money be a big deal?

ahf: School
If been a Christian is an "admission criteria", then so be it. Applicants should apply to other schools.
A man or woman is not great based by the school attended, but by what he is made of and what God has blessed him or her with.
Been a private establishment, except he's in violation of the law/constitution, then the school can choose their students
as they please.

Family/Wealth
While this approach is not prescribed by any religion, have we come to see how different from past times, religions have suddenly
failed to cohabit due to the new intro's from individuals in both religions.

He is off course free to do with he's wealth as he pleases. Nobody can judge nor criticize him for that.

The ultimate judgment for everyone is "GOD ALMIGHTY".

I hope he is paying his taxes regularly because if he wants to make his own rule he better find his own land, his own electricity, his own water, his own security and hopefully he is remitting adequate tax to the govt as at when due.

afam4eva: We're not talking about who makes heaven, are we? What's wrong in being your brother's keeper irrespective of religion and color of Skin??

The fact that Oyedepo's sister has not converted to Christianity shows that she does not want to compromise her faith because of Riches. So, Oyedepo should come to the aid of his spiritual brothers and sisters that are dieing of poverty in his church and Nigerian chritiandom in general.

You see Black people, denying their blood because of White man's religion. I tell ya, we are phocked.

Jesus the bouncer . . . interesting

The God of the Christians must be a really terrifying god if you have to go through a bouncer to reach him. What is he afraid of? Why does he need a bouncer?

No wonder the so called men of gods are wicked and unreachable; their god hired a bouncer to protect himself from the common man.

cheddarking: I honestly cant believe a muslim is asking this....

I want you to consider something though....

How many IMAMS will do different if the scenario was reversed?

Religious leaders are supposed to be VIGILANT upholders of their FAITHS and as such have to be Religiously INTOLERANT.

Any Religious leader seen to be sympathetic to other FAITHS will appear to be lacking in CONVICTION in his own 'TRUE' Faith


That is how RELIGION has kept us divided for so long....

That is unfortunate because you actually catch more flies with honey

What is bigoted about Christianity?

Why are people drawing a false equivalence between these two religions?

[size=18pt]One is a religion of suicide bombing, Boko Haram, etc.[/size]

Or is Oyedepo not giving money to his sister the equivalent of him strapping a bomb to his chest?

Dont feed the troll people!

stealth007: @OP
Where does the said Alhaja lives in Iyanapaja?
Muslims Brothers and Sisters, this highlights the reasons why we as Muslim ummah should rally round those ones in need regardless of their religion as part of our religious duty where ever we find ourselves, we'll always be the reflection of our religion.

Relax, the story is most likely false. I dont believe the story at all.

(As an aside: Don't get me wrong. Even though I strongly dislike Islam and most things about it, this doesn't mean I hate individual Muslims. Clearly I don't dislike or hate you for example...quite the opposite.)

Post of the year.

Who gives a sh1t about religious tolerance?

Where in the Bible is religious tolerance preached?

Why must a PASTOR be religiously tolerant?

Any religiously tolerant pastor is a FRAUD, a FAKE, and a PHONY. An agent of the devil.

Or was Jesus religiously tolerant? Did he preach salvation for non-believers?

Anyway, Christians have gone above and beyond the call of duty as far as tolerance goes. Despite them actually having no real obligation to do so.

The pr/ost/itut/e wasnt a non-believer?


PS: People dont feed the troll

odumchi: Lol, yes, that too.

I want to ask you a question: do they still have lions in Hausaland?

Yes, on a typical day, you can see 1 or 2 roaming the streets in Hausaland.

NEW YORK — A handful of roughly 2,000-year-old figurines began a journey back home to Nigeria Thursday after being seized at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City.
At a repatriation ceremony held at Homeland Security Investigation offices on the west side of Manhattan, Nigeria's Consul General Habib Baba Habu took legal possession of the terracotta sculptures, which he said had been stolen from the country's national museum.
Habu called today a special day. "It is the day that America has extended a gift of friendship that we will never forget," he said.

Ancient artifacts
On display for the ceremony were seven pieces of figurines, which resembled bits of cylindrical gingerbread men thanks to the orange hue of the terracotta. The two best preserved pieces, a head and torso, and a pair of legs standing on a pedestal, appeared to have once belonged to a single figure.
All are the work of the Nok culture, which existed within what would become Nigeria from more than 2,000 years ago, before disappearing in the early centuries of the first millennium. (Timeframes for their existence vary.) [Image Gallery: Ancient Rock Art of Sudan]

Each of the six terracotta heads bore a distinctive face, which is typical of Nok sculpture, Habu said, explaining that the ancient artisans drew from individual people in normal life, depicting them riding horses or donkeys, for example, or with farm tools.

Nok artisans were prolific, many similar figurines have left Nigeria, Habu said: "Many of them are at museums all over the world, some were taken out legally."
Nigeria has laws that control the export of Nok pieces; however, the sculptures have flooded out of the country. In the 1990s, so many reached the European art market that the prices dropped sharply, according to a New York Times article in 2000.

A modern journey
During today's ceremony, two ornate, hardwood boxes sat near the figures. The statues had been packed within these boxes while being shipped as air cargo into the United States.
During a routine inspection in Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris more than a year ago, French customs officers spotted the statues. Although they could not seize them, they notified Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in New York, the items' destination. American officials met the suspicious cargo when it arrived, officials said.https://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Video/120726/120726-Sculpture2Photo-hmed-0415p_files.grid-4x2.jpg
An investigation has since verified that these sculptures were cultural artifacts, not handy crafts and personal effects as described on customs' documents. That investigation is ongoing, and officials declined to give details on who they believed was responsible for attempting to smuggle the items into the United States.
"Often times brokers here in the United States receive a large number of shipments for a large number of people then distribute them. Often times, they have very little to do with the actual shipment," said James Hayes, special agent in charge of HSI New York.
This appears to be the case in this instance, said Robert Perez, director of CBP's New York Field Operations.
Science news from NBCNews.com



It's not yet clear who was responsible for removing them from Nigeria.
"From what we know the items were stolen from the national museum in Nigeria," Habu said. "There is no report of the items being stolen so now the director-general of the Nigerian museum and antiquities is now being subjected to an investigation." [Faux Real: A Gallery of Art Forgeries]

Returning home
American officials plan to also return three additional items — two more Nok figurines and a carved ivory tusk — that were seized in Chicago.
Habu said he plans to have everything shipped back to Nigeria in August, where they will be returned to the museum.
He pointed to the two matching pieces, which appeared to have come from a single figurine.
"I am going to ask the government if they will agree to get expert restorers to put this back," he said.
Officials declined to assign a monetary value to the statues, saying as cultural artifacts they are priceless.

African Cheetahs

The cheetah is the world's fastest land mammal. With acceleration that would leave most automobiles in the dust, a cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles (96 kilometers) an hour in only three seconds. These big cats are quite nimble at high speed and can make quick and sudden turns in pursuit of prey.

A mother and her large cubs move through the dunes of the Kalahari. Cheetah cubs are dependent on their mother for about 15 months before they are able to fend for themselves, first as a sibling group and later as solitary females or males or as males in a coalition.
