maclatunji: Bring proof to back your claim.

BetaThings: I don't want any Christians praying for me after death. It is simple. I don't need their prayer now, I will not need it after I pass on

tbaba1234: I do not think that is the point, he is trying to make. There are certain sections of the muslim population with a dangerous mindset that involves accepting certain things that are totally unacceptable in the religion. They do this in the name of modernism e.t.c.

pmc01: It has come to notice that some so-called 'moderate' Muslims have been condemning a fellow Muslim for writing against celebrating late Goldie Harvey, who has been surrounded with controversy in life and in death, as a national icon. I must say it is very unfortunate for this set of people. This is what I think about them:
'Follow-follow no make me get common sense' na im dey worry many of them. Looking critically at their problem, you'll discover it's inferiority complex that has weakened their morale. They are under self-inflicted pressure to always put up that '21st century' Muslim show. May Allah save us from such disastrous calamity. Amiin.
My advice for them is discover their identity before they get irredeemably lost. If you can't stand firmly for Islam, you will eventually end up miserable. It isn't a curse, it's a known fact; you will just find yourself alone, cold in the wilderness eventually.
The time to embrace your natural identity is now!!!

Kx: In his mind, he will be saying something like:

How cruel can the world get?
Does not have 2 legs like a normal human being.
Now gona spend time in prison .



If only the court could temper justice with mercy in view of this guy's condition pre-meditated murder or not.

shymexx: Accepted the UK is institutionally racist, dead, cold, and boring - however, moving to naija is like moving to the hottest part of hell... I doubt I want to live in that country regardless of how easy it's to make money in the country... Security and good health are the most important things in life and Nigeria has nothing to off in those departments... You have to be criminal minded to make it big in naija by robbing the poor - and that's something my conscience will never agree with... I'll NEVER rob disadvantaged/unfortunate black folks!!!

I'd rather move to Arizona, Miami, Cali, and Texas(in America) - or somewhere in the Caribbean(if I need the sun), than live in naija... The country is just too cray for me to live there...

ehie: like a poster stated,they should stay in the diaspora,Nigeria is populated and it will be a culture shock when they come back.Let us that have suffered for Nigeria,eat of its fruits,not those that want to reap where they didn't sow

I Hate 9ja: agreed....but u dont av wat this guy got....bad belle people
Una go dey trek....u go dey abuse person wey get mansion,private jet etc....9ja oga o

manny4life: Well I pity Nigeria and Nigerians who live in SA in general, if a place is hostile to you, why do u stay there? If you're from tne NAN, shouldn't they have had an AFCON/SA press pass or an ID? Isn't that how foreigners do it? Notwithstanding, they treatment meted out to them is unjust, hopefully, Nigerian govt will look into this. Nigerians can't be treated like they're caused people even on their own continent.

FXKing2012: He gave just $1million? mtchewwwww

shadrach77: whoever wrote this article got it slightly wrong. teams go through cycles but the fact that a team won a trophy does not mean it is in ascendancy. The key element here is FORM. This team found its form at the right time! I suspect if the team had met any other team apart from ivory coast in the quater final it wouldn't have won the cup. The win against CIV gave the team the needed self-belief and that energised the team into believing they could win the cup. If we are to follow your analysis, shall we say the Zambia team that won the last edition but could not make it past the group stage has suddenly found itself in decline? The Eagles still have a long way to go in order to be a finished product

Lovine: If Prophet TB Joshua say something they shout if he decide not to say anything they shout, Nigeriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, if he is Bonnkee everyone will be jumping ups and down, shame

feyifassy: Can't u pple be reasonable for once: you al call dis man prophet of doom bt he just made a good prediction and u stil hav to hate him. You want him to tell u d precise time of d goals,haba ! Jesus didn't even do such. Even if dis man is a devil,he has contributed immensely to the progress of Nigeria. You haters should please give him a break!

donwilz: You are the one that needs to grow up. SE means SUPER EAGLES... You are the tribal champion, since that is all you could fathom out of the sentence... Only thinking along tribal lines... Amu agwo nwuru anwu ka i bu.

Herbiorlah: Hmmmm, @ poster, what u should know is dat there is difference between Islamic name and Arab name. I dont see anything wrong in one bearing an Islamic name and even use it as his/her 1st name as dat will serve as ur first identity as a muslim and not your deeds! and Allah knows best.

Vongrim: justaqad,

Indeed in the (Prophetic) Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example (to follow) for him whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much. (33:21)

the above verse says muhammad is the best example amongst humans. muslims are encouraged to copy him. i dont understand how you can want to copy him if you reject his culture.

i really do not understand what your problem is. the way islam is understood and practised in today's world makes it inseparable from arabic.

babaowo: .... pls don't take it personal, i just dey catch my fun noni... i hate tribalism, cross check my posts u will understand me better. 1luv..

Mr4tunate: well i dont wnt to sound abusive, bt i will just say u shud fear Allah, say wat is good nd nt aclaim to me wat i av nt said. If u understand english u would knw i frm my post dat i dint say its mandatory to give arabic names, all i've given to u is d sequence of preference by d propthet as regards naming and if u would neglect dat nd follow ur own wish in naming its ur bussiness. Just remember dat as non can b more catholic than d pope so also can non understand ds deen than d prophet.
wa'llahu ta'aalah aalam

Mr4tunate: wat springs up a topic of ds nature is serious vague to my understanding. Having an Islamic name nd using it a d first name shudnt b a big deal. If a joseph or paul will answer d name with great happiness even if hebrew is n more d official christian language, then just y r we complaining of loosing our identity to d arabs? do u even knw dat so many arabs av to change dr names wen embracing islam? dat tells u hw significant a good name is in ds deen. Do u knw dat its mandatory dat one gives one child a beautiful name nd dat d prophet of Allah prefers d names of Allah, d prophets, d sahaabahs nd other beautiful names in dat order? So just wat is ur excuse nd wc identity r u loosing nd do u even remember dat there's no tribal dichotomy in islam? And i cud c u use d word Makrooh, so perhaps u posses a level of islamic understanding nd if dat is true u surelyshud knw dat no identity is required of a muslim except islam in its entity or hw easy can u prove to love Obama wen u r indifferent abt America. And most important of all, do u really think ds avenue is d ryt place for ds kinda topic? Eni ti a fe sunje to tun fi epo para, hw pathetic?

donroxy: what u ve said here is rubbish/baseless compared with what the Topic suggested as ''we are losing our Identity to the Arabs''...... If u say my argument is not SCIENTIFIC then u re MYOPIC.



This is ''Religion'' we are talking about not mere ''social'' gathering!!!


In Yoruba Religion of Ifa,Osun,Oya,Esu,Obatala...... Each worshippers of such DEITY identify with the name of the deity they are worshipping.......Yorubaland is Homogeneous society!!!



Who is talking about...tolulope,adeniyi and olasunkanmi here..........we are talking abt Religion and Names!!!



Dig ur Heritage verywell and u will discovered that ur forefather/greatgrandfathers were initially Deity worshippers before Foreign Religion were embraced!!

khairate: . The problem here is not just the diversity in languages. It goes beyound that. Now, where is it in d bible that a groom must wear a suit nd his wife, a white garment and expose her hair if she chose to? Or is it african??. Islam and christianity do not go hand in hand, they re just too distinct frm each other. In islam, everything is unambigiously spelt out. The way u shld dress, pray, eat, even the directn u turn while u sleep, d step u take while enterin d toilet...d list is endless. Islam is a complete way of life. U dnt just chip in new ideas jus because u feel u re educated. Sincerely there is nothin to argue. U shld rather be concerned about how u hav americanised xtianity wit all ur erudite knowledge

donroxy: @Topic
Allah has 99names in the Quran......If Op belief in Allah,he will Belief in the Quran.....Allah called himself different 99names.........if I therefore decided to give my son/daughter One of Allah 99names......whats the problem of Op!!! Muslims are enjoined to give their Children Names of Allah,Mohammed,Sahabah....... And U re not ''compelled'' to give this names but only ''enjoined''........!!!


The names u give ur child identify what he/she associate with religiously,yoruba names suggest,she is a Yoruba......Islamic/arabic names(whatever u call it) suggest,she is a muslim!!!


Allah did not say,in d Quran, that ......He is ''Babatunde'' nor ''Oye-labi''...... Nor ''Owoniyi''...... He(swt) call Himself(swt) ''Gafur'','Kabir'', ''Qodir'' et all!!!...... And Good Muslim is enjoined to associate with Allah and His names!!!


@Op
Ki lo de, iwo nikan ko ni Yooba...... Ma pe Aja lobo fun wa joor(u can't confuse us).......Adisi le,Rikishi,Ote ati Tembelekun......Hypocrite!!!

donroxy: Most names that religion people bears really has to do with what religion they practice......!!!

In yorubaland ,even My GreatGrand mothers bears...Esubiyi..... Later had muslim name when she got converted !!!


Till today we have..Ifalokun,Ifabiyi,Osunfunke,Osuntoke,Oguniyi.......Ogunshola.....Ogunseyi......Ogunlola..... and many others.......!!!!


All these seek to differenciate Osun worshippers from Ogun worshippers.........Sango worshippers from Ogun worshippers thus Esu worshippers.........this is Homogeneous Society ooo......Yorubaland!!



Christians also have baptism name e.g Timothy,Isreal,Moses,Jacob,Micheal,Esther,abigeal.....does it mean these peeps are now jew!!



With all the above,How has Islamic/Arabic name being subjective unless u re giving it a subjective definition!!!!


Religion peeps associate with there Religion names!!! Islam is not different......therefore this TOPIC is Trashed!!!


Case Closed!!!!!

Umamman1: please when praying the Maghrib prayer today, be the imam and recite the holy Qura'an in yoruba so that we will know that you are really a culture man:you can go also go ahead and ask God why he revealed the Holy Quran in Arabic language.indeed there is nothing left out of Islam including how you go about relieving yourself in the toilet.

GbaGaun Police: May the lord forgive u for including his name in this Gbagaun of yours

Affiliated: Wrong on all counts. There are many animals that engage in homosexual sex. When you say crazy white folks calling them gay to justify their homosexuality don't you sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist to yourself? I doubt that all scientists that research the homosexual phenomenon in animals are actually gay themselves.



First of all I don't know what you learned in integrated science but you know science is always discovering new things and during that period much research might not have gone into the homosexual phenomenon of animals. According to your logic I could claim that the earth is flat because that's what science taught when the earth was much saner.
Your post about animals exhibiting abnormal sexual behaviors in response to external stimuli for example animals mounting other animals when the opposite sex is not available might be true but there are still animals that engage in homosexual sex even when the opposite sex is available




Once again are you talking of your elementary science books of the 80's?



This is the part that got me upset and respond the way I did. If you are a conspiracy theorist then you are entitled to your beliefs but don't spread such things so matter of factly and sow disunity among humans.
Of course there is no committee of white people who are looking for homosexuality everywhere in order to control people by constantly feeding homosexual thoughts in people's brain. I could even claim that its the anti-homo people that devote so much time and energy to it which only inflames the issue

jmoore: not everything is right in wikipedia. No he goat will allow another hegoat penetrate him. The post below was right in its entirety.

elliottibanga: Your knowledge of animal sexuality is a bit askew. Please use this link, and remember, google is your friend.
