I wonder what exactly is wrong with this man.The corp member(the owner's private assistant) that died there, was she not a Muslim? The man might not have been hired because of incompetence and not because of his faith.

There are some men that when a lady rejects them, they attribute it to the fact that they are poor, as if it is every lady a rich guy talks to that agrees to date him.

Men who have that kind of mentality actually carry around a dangerous psychological sickness. Ishaq Akintola and the young man making the denied because of religion claim withoit witnesses, seem to have that sickness. Only God can cure them.

It is not a misery nor debatable that the Yorubas were the first Nigerians to migrate to the gold coast ( Ghana) In the early 20th century till all other tribes started migrating into Ghana in the early 20th century.

so I have pondered for some time now since I came across a video of a young Ghana girl in 1957 who stated she saw Nigerians as inferior because they were mainly beggars in Ghana. who were the Nigerians in Ghana at that time? yorubas. and thanks to AbaLion whom just confirmed that.

The Yorubas were mainly paupers and beggars with no economic significance to Ghana but were mainly beggars that litered the streets of Ghana begging for alms to salvage their wretched existence.

this is a short clip of the video. skip to 1:40 of the video

The early Yoruba migrants to Ghana were traders and business people. In fact some of them became really rich that they began to have influence in Ghanaian politics and wielded monopolies, which where some of the reasons leading to the mass Yoruba expulsion from Ghana in 1969 during the Nigerian Civil War. Below is a link to one of several scholarly pieces confirming that.
http://www.laits.utexas.edu/africa/2004/database/diaspora.html

Below are two excerpts from a scholarly article: The 1969 Ghana Exodus: Memory and Reminiscences of Yoruba Migrants1
Rasheed Olaniyi, Department of History,
University of Ibadan.

"As traders, Yoruba in Ghana contributed to the spread of Islam and Christianity.
Migrants from Ogbomoso town in particular established branches of Baptist Church in both the rural and urban areas of Ghana. By 1948, they had formed Baptist associations reporting to the
Baptist Convention until 1964 when they formed their own Ghana Convention.
In the 1940s equally, Muslim traders from Ogbomoso established Nurudeen Society for the spread of Islam in Ghana. They established Mosques in Tamale, Accra, Secondi, Suhum, Koforidua, Tarkwa, Tema, Kumasi and others."

"From the early 20th century, Ghanaians and Yoruba migrants were mutually engaged in economic and social intercourse that benefited the two groups. Sudarkasa notes that Yoruba in Ghana were allowed to operate due to their intermediary roles, which facilitated the movement of goods between urban and remote rural areas. Yoruba migrants immensely contributed to rural economic development and transformation. They equally provided revenue in form of taxes and gifts to the state and traditional authorities."

There is no scholarly or reputable documentation on Yoruba migrants in Ghana that labelled them as beggars. Former President Mahama of Ghana grew up in Offa, Kwara State, Nigeria because his mother re-married a Yoruba man. If Yorubas were destitutes and beggars as erroneously claimed, which Ghanaian woman, more or less the mother of a future Ghana President, would marry one of them and follow him down to Nigeria as need be?

You people should spend your time on Nairaland engaging in useful, factual and developmental discourse instead of peddling lies and insultive misinformation!

You approved 15 he built more than that and you didn't sanction him. How then will others learn

Where was the agency when he was violating the approval and mounting more than 15 floors? Why is it now they know he was using inferior materials? The family of the deceased need to bring a class action suit against the Lagos State Government asking for billions of naira in punitive damages! The Government is expected to protect the public and not make excuses.

This is unacceptable

Let's see someone verifiably go to prison for it. Outside of that people will continue to violate with impunity. Same story at TB Joshua Synagogue building collapse years ago. Who went to prison?

The EFCC supported its application with an affidavit sworn by one of its investigators.

Abdulhamid noted that Obi had already forfeited N280,555,010, N240,250,904.46 and N40,304,106.19 to the Nigerian Government.

http://saharareporters.com/2021/10/31/nigerian-court-orders-interim-forfeiture-convicted-fraudster-invictus-obis-abuja-houses

The money purportedly forfeited to the Nigerian Government should go towards restitution for the victims of Obiwanne's fraud if the Nigerian Government is honest and sincere. Obiwanne didn't steal from the Nigerian Government, so I don't see how the FG is entitled to the money.

wordapostle:
When the rich live their normal life the poor call them proud and arrogant. The pastor is not the cause of your problems. Try and get to his level and see your self posting the pictures of your bedroom. Pastor Paul Eneche is far from show offs. He is mega rich so no need to empress anyone, besides his circle of friends will see nothing in the picture because their have been there and more beautiful and expensive place than that hotel.

My dear God doesn't want us to suffer so stop attacking wealth you hear

1. That I say someone is posting on social media to show affluence does not mean I am attacking wealth. I am simply stating the obvious which is fact.

2. When you post on social media, it is not just about living your life. It is that you need some public approval or wanr to show off. It is simple psychology. If you don't want public reaction, keep pictures on your phones only or share only with your spouse and family.

3. Furthermore the wealthiest people in the world have not been known to be posting affluence on social media, so it is not an established way of life for the rich.

4. Pastor Eneche is not on Forbes List, neither is he among the wealthiest in Africa or Nigeria. So if his purpose is to pursue wealth and show affluence, he still has more to go but that should come from hard work and not peoples tithes, offerings and donations!

You may argue that he has other sources of income unknown to us. But they are all invariably tied to his religious work or persona and he has not declared that he is a businessman.

Jochabed:
His doing God's work. End Of Story!

Why do people have to lie and defend the indefensible? The purpose of posting these Trump Tower pictures is more for showmanship than to impress upon us that he is doing God's work.

It is the kind of pictures you see black rappers, boxers and sportsmen from less priviledged backgrounds post to show their levels have changed. It is a common black mentality to show I sufffered but I am now enjoying. It has nothing to do with gospel and the work of God.

The wife tries to label it as evidence of a man of purpose and vision. Purpose and vision to be a wealthy man or to win souls for Christ?

When you see suposed Men of God that primarily use their social media accounts to post evidence of personal affluence no different from Hushpuppy instead of propagating the gospel, you can see clearly what they hold dearly to their heart! It is from the abudance of the heart that the mouth speaketh.

Viagra2022:
Bro stop justifying wickedness, imagine you or any of your friends or family is in this kind of situation, your are dating a girl for a long time now, you proposed to her she accepted, you went for introduction, talked with the father.

but her dad said she wants her daughter to finish school before getting married, now, you took all financial aid for the your future wife to go through school, all this while she did not say she's not interested on the marriage thing, now she through.

She get mouth to say she's not interested again.

If na you, will you be happy with the situation.

I am not trying to justify wickedness.

1. Note that the scenario you describe is more detailed than what was provided in the main story and may only be your own assumptions or extrapolations. There was no talk of any introduction or agreement to marry based on funding. She was referred to as girlfriend and not fiancee.

2. But even if the scenario you provide was the case, it will no doubt be very painful for the guy but I would tell him to move on or at worst collect his money back. A broken marriage is worse than a broken courtship. Courtship is not a guarantee of marriage even since the ancient days.

If you were to learn that the guy was an unrepentant womanizer, violent person or woman beater even if he paid her school fees, would you see the breakup of the courtship as wickedness on the part of the girl? Absolutely not. You cannot say she should sacrifice her life or well being becauase someone paid her school fees.

So if you think deeply, you would see that it is difficult to make any judgement based on the one sided story provided by the guy.

There are several genuine reasons why a courtship could be broken regardless of the agreement or money expended. That is why those who use money to try to seal courtships are not being sincere. Anyone spending money on a woman during courtship should know that it carry risks just like you can have the bad side to investments where you can lose your capital and interest and yet not die. How many people went to those who collected money for MMM from them with guns or charms to kill them because they lost money?

Viagra2022:
I will make sure the girl useless for life till she dies.

This is how some people get opportunity to express the wickedness of their heart.

The simple resolution is to request for his school fees payment. That means the girl at best got student loans which she may have repaid part in kind even during their relationship. There is no where that said there was an agreement on the sponsor for marriage.
Also, the mindset to sponsor education for marriage is a manipulative strategy. Marriage should be based on love and not bought.

There may be several issues with the relationship in the first instance that may change public opinion on the issue that were missing in the summary statements.

This kind of story is how wicked people put it down for herbalists, witches and wizards to harm others without having people hear the other side.

The Yorubas have an adage that it is only a bad elder that makes a decision based on one side of a story. Villians also tell stories in ways to make themselves look like victims.

Never make a decision listening to only one side of a story, particularly a decision to cause harm to another!

Kido90:
Nigeria and multiple charges and taxation

You can imagine the ridiculous charges. What is height clearance? Why do they keep creating harsh and un-friendly operating environments for businesses. These telecom firms will pay for security, diesel, community rate and several other charges just for erecting masts and Government is not doing anything to lessen their burden. And all get passed down to the consumers in high costs.

GreenCovering:
What a detailed analyses based on, of course, media projections but, as usual, devoid of contextual history. Why not ask yourself for example, in Afghanistan, why did the Talibans/AlQaeda had to fight the Mujahideens (who were already in power). Trace the maniplative hands behind the scenes and how they make you see what you see about Islam.

The Mujahedeen, Taliban and Al-Qaeda; the purpose of formation of each were different.

The Mujahedeen (i.e. Holy Warriors) comprising of various Muslim sects from across the world were formed to defend a Muslim country (Afghanistan) from infidel invaders (Soviets). Unsurprisingly they got support from the US and Britain because of a common enemy in the Soviets and stopping the spread of communism.

The Taliban developed from a group of Wahabi madrasa former students with the goal of installing a strict Wahabi Islamic regime in Afghanistan after the expulsion of the Soviets. That is why they were fighting the Mujahedeen which comprised of various muslims with various ideologies.

The Taliban offered sanctuary for Osama bin Laden, an ex-mujahedeen who had been expelled from both Saudi Arabia and Sudan and had formed Al-Qaeda. So it was natural for the Al-Qaeda to support the Taliban against their enemies.

While the Mujahedeen were not against the US that supported them and was their ally in the fight against the Soviets, Al-Qaeda was clearly anti-USA and anti-Western world in its ideology and would understandably see the Mujahedeen as munafiqun (hypocrites) from their association with USA.

In all these, to say it was the Western hands orchestrating the fights between the Mujahedeen and Taliban/Al-Qaeda is to pay service to dishonesty and intellectual laziness. Are ISIS, ISIL, ISWAP and Boko Haram not fighting and killing themselves without Western orchestrations? Fanatic Islamic fundamentalists with a particular ideology generally see others with contrary or dissenting views as hypocrites or infidels and have no qualms killing them. That is the truth.

In all honesty, Saudi Arabia is the chief funder of terrorism in the world through the spread of its Wahhabi brand of Islamic fundamentalism in several countries. They have used their oil wealth to fund Wahhabi missionaries, mosques, and schools and to promote Wahhabism in dozens of countries, including the United States.

Wahhabism is the basis for the Saudi education system. The curriculum and textbooks refer to infidels (unbelievers in Islam) as the enemy and promote the hatred of Jews, Christians, and Muslims who reject Wahhabi beliefs.

Quite a number of times some of their funded Wahhabi schools, groups or students become uncontrollable and another terrorist group thereby emerges. In fact some of the terrorists become enemies of the Saudi Royal Family just like Bin Laden. You can't teach such hatred of other religions and not expect terrible outcomes. Hatred never bred anything good.

Damnnn niggar
Mehnnnnn
This thread don ready for Christians, Southerners and muslim haters

What they don't know is that religion in general is a big problem to humanity

And for all those quoting me to insult me...bring it on...
Ain't scared because am a real niggarrr.....

I am often surprised that the approach of some apologists when Muslims are accused of terrorism, is to say it is a general problem with religion and not Islam.

Have you paused to ask yourself why Islam is by far the most predominant religion breeding terrorists in this century?

If you look at the Global Terrorism Index, Muslim countries dominate with the Number being Afghanistan. If you look at Terrorist Organizations, Muslim organizations such as Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Taliban and others dominate with Al-Qaeda taking the pole position. Note that these are supported by facts with links available at the end of my post!

Muslims and the world in general need to start asking serious questions. You may wonder why I include Muslims among those who need to start asking questions. The reality is that a larger proportion of the victims of these terrorism by fellow Muslims are Muslims according to a BBC report and the fact that Muslim countries dominate the list of the Global Terrorism Index. Afghanistan is a Muslim country and yet has the highest terrorism fatalities in recent times. Those fatalities are fellow Muslims in most cases.

Some will say it is only a small minority of Muslims trying to give the others and the religion a bad name. However what are the larger non-violent Muslim majority doing about it rather than simply dissociating themselves from terror attacks when they occur?

How often do moderate Muslims report fiery Imams preaching terrorism? The answer is rarely, either out of fear for their own safety or "brotherly love". Yet statistics show that these moderate Muslims are major casualty in world terror attacks by their violent brothers!

One day future peaceful moderate Muslims kids are going to ask their parents in the face of overwhelming evidence why it is their brothers in the religion that are killing them and making life difficult and simply touting the "bad eggs" answer wouldn't suffice. You can imagine the fear that would drive fellow Muslims to risk death hanging on departing planes just to escape from fellow Muslims (Taliban)? Does that kind of fear occur in other religions? The situation really require deep thinking for Muslims.

In the absence of a will, the next inline to inherit a deadman properties is his next of kin...

And sometimes people use different names as next of kin for different stuff, for instance, when opening a bank account, I can use you as next of kin and then not use you as next or kin when I get a land(or make a business transaction)...

Their best bet is to know who the next of kin is in the individual property of the man...

The assumption that a next of kin automatically inherits from anyone that dies intestate or without a will is an assumption that is erroneous and without legal basis!

Read the article on the link below where a lawyer carefully explains the rights, responsibilities and limitations of a next of kin legally.

If the old man who calls himself next of kin is proving difficult the children should approach a Court of competent jurisdiction to get an order against the man and take possession of their deceased father's assets. If any man dies intestate or without a will it is the spouse and children that have rights to his inheritance!!!

SlayerForever:
This is a very nice topic my brother. I think you are right. Yoruba will divide into Northern Muslim Oduduwa and Southern Christian Oduduwa.

Yorubas are not as bothered about religion as you want people to think. How many times have you heard about Muslim and Christian Yorubas fighting each other? There are families where some are Christian and others are Muslims and they never fight but still do things together.

Yorubas still have their culture unlike the Hausa whose culture have been subsumed by Islam. You may find spoliers and fifth columnists like MURIC Akintola who are out for what they can eat but such are very much in the minority. Nobody really listens to him in Yorubaland. A dog could as well be barking for all they care.

Finally, Muslims in Yorubaland cut across and are not strictly separated by any geographical lines. Tinubu is a Muslim from the South and Fayemi is a Christian from the North if we are to go by your boundaries.

osuofia2:
Truly they deserves punishment. They know alcohol is forbidden in Islam yet they went to drink . It is haram in Islam to drink. The Southern Christians should face their front and leave Islam to do it thing according to how we want it to be done.
Shey if we de under Islamic Law and rule for Nigeria this kind thing for happen ?

What happened to the common Muslim saying that there is no compulsion in Islam?

If the social media posts of the party had not been made, the Imam and parents would not have known their wards went to any birthday. They should first address the extent their moral teachings have failed to impact the children first and foremost instead of trying to scar and maim them. That brutish approach does not stop the children for doing immoral things particularly when they become independent or out of reach of the parents and the Imam.

The failure of moral teachings is not always addressed by brutal beating. In fact it becomes counter productive as the victims now see Islam as a brutal religion that is not genuinely after their welfare.

WibusJaga:

Well as a layman, I don't know if he has committed any crime. Only a competent court of law can determine that. Hopefully the law takes its course.

If he wins the case, I see many people in Biafra land sewing & wearing similar dress.

The reality is that it is extremely difficult to find a law that would criminalize a dress when it is not Army, Police or any other official uniform for which a case of impersonation could be filed.

Furthermore IPOB or ESN has no known uniform that could be said to be a basis for identifying its members. That is why what is happening to Agu is no more than harassment because I can't see DSS charging him to court and winning based simply on the fact that he wore a certain dress.

Stupidity on the part of the parents ...

It is not stupidity. It is criminal and highly irresponsible of the idiots that called themselves parents.

ChineduChinedu:
She said she dreamed were I cheated on her and marry someone else that's why she insisted of leaving if I didn't do the court marriage

All their family members hide this secret from me, they intend to tell me after the wedding

You guys may be wondering how I enter this problem
I wasn't into girls at all
I don't anything about girl cuz am a very shy type
For 30 years am a Virgin until I met a surger momy who toast me and took my virginity.
I broke up with my sugar momy immediately I met this girl

I don't know anything about women at all
That's how I landed into this problem
Make una help abeg

Congratulations Chinedu that the juju spell the girl and her family used on you is running its last lap. To ensure complete deliverance, ensure you severe all ties with the woman except those for the sake of your unborn child.

You met a woman and not a girl. A deceptive, manipulative and dangerous woman. It is better to cut your loses now than to allow yourself to be ruined by her. A woman doesn't mistakenly give birth to 3 children for the same man over a period of 10 years or more. How sure are you that this 4th child or pregnancy of hers really belong to you?

There is no law in Nigeria that says when you divorce her you would have to share your assets with her 50/50. In fact you may not share anything other than pay alimony for the support of your child or the pregnancy. Even in the USA where sharing of assets obtains, the fact that she is a liar and a cheat works against her. Bring your family into any decison to be made and cofess to them your stupidity in contracting a court wedding with the woman. Dead body no dey hide from person wey go baff am! It is better to be scolded by your family now than being disgraced outside later.

armstrongadeola:
She didn't forget .she just lied but we will be fine tomorrow morning .We don't let our dispute go beyond a day but I still don't know why she said that .

I will not even ask her again .Bygone is bygone .That's the kind of man I am.i will just let it slide

Ask her and get the matter trashed out instead of letting in become a buried time bomb in the name of letting it slide. You are obviously bothered by it and should hear her side of the story before any conclusion.

PrimadonnaO:
If it was a law, perhaps more women would have seen the need to remain virgins.

Under those laws also, men carried the risk of being forced to marry any woman disvirgined by them in case the woman is not bethrothed or being stoned to death in case the woman is bethrothed or is fiance to someone.

So it works and carry risks both ways.

POLITICSNIGERIA.COM

Agu was arrested in Upper-Iweka, Onitsha, Anambra state on Thursday after he was seen soliciting support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. He was also wearing an outfit made from the Biafran Flag.

https://politicsnigeria.com/exclusive-nigerian-army-hands-over-chinwetalu-agu-to-dss/

I am often shocked by how key agencies like the Nigeria Army brazenly lie about situations that everyone can clearly see. I am not supporting the actions of Chiwetalu Agu in dorning a Biafran Flag styled clothe particularly in the east at these trying times. However, that the Army would brazenly lie that he was soliciting support for IPOB without any shred of evidence to support the claim is a very dangerous thing for us all. That means the NA can fabricate lies against any individual and should therefore not be trusted.

1. Biafra is not exactly synonymous with IPOB and its concept predated IPOB by decades. Someone wearing a Biafra Flag is not necessarily a member or supporter of IPOB.

2. If Agu indeed had comitted a crime, he should have been arrested by the Police or handed over to the Police in case the Army had strong reasons to arrest him. And the Police would be required to investigate or charge him to court as appropriate.

Agu acted in an unbecoming manner but has not committed any crime according to evidence from witnesses and even the viral video. He should at best be reprimanded and sent home, not have lies fabricated to punish him. People who fabricate lies to achieve any end cannot be trusted in any way. Such people are destroying the image and integrity of the Nigeria Army. One day the fight against IPOB would end but the image and integrity of the Army may never recover!

What the media won't tell you... God is the greatest

Reporting it on Nairaland is still through the media. So it is the media still telling you...

Ibkhaleel01:
Anti-Muslim demagoguery relies on the demonization of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), who is characterized by Islam-hating liars as being especially violent and warlike.

This propaganda has certainly gained currency in the “Judeo-Zionist-Freemasonic-Christian West and Nigeria hateful christians”.

When it is pointed out that the Biblical prophets–including Moses, Joshua, Samson , Saul , David , among many others–were far more violent and warlike (and even engaged in religiously sanctioned genocide ),
anti-Muslim pro-Christian ideologues will respond by disregarding or downplaying the Old Testament and will instead focus on the personality of Jesus in the New Testament.

Didn’t Jesus preach nonviolence and “loving one’s enemies”?

anti-Muslim ideologues use this idea to assault the religion of Islam. comparing Islam to Christianity by juxtaposing carefully selected quotes from Jesus to Islamic texts. “Muhammad vs Jesus” section. citing the following sayings of Jesus in the Bible:

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”

“If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”

“Blessed are the peacemakers”

“Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy”

“But love your enemies, and do good”

These so-called “peaceful” verses of the Bible are compared to select battle revealed-Quranic verses.

The violent verses of the Bible “don’t count” and are craftily excluded from the comparison (“that’s just the Old Testament!”).

To tighten the noose, peaceful verses of the Glorious Qur’an are also excluded from the heavily biased analysis, the shaitaan  gives his evil reason for that: these “don’t count” since they are supposedly from when Muhammad was still in Mecca.

To understand the last point, one needs to have a basic understanding of the Prophet Muhammad’s (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) biography: he first declared his prophethood in the city of Makkah. Only a very small segment of society accepted him (mostly the weak and poor), whereas the masses–especially the powerful leaders of the city–not only rejected him but actively persecuted him.

The chapters of the Qur’an that were revealed during this period are known as the Makkan chapters. Eventually, Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) was commanded by God to fled to the city of Madinah, whose people accepted him as their ruler. He went from persecuted prophet to ruler and commander-in-chief of a fledgling city-state.

The anti-Muslim ideologues claim that the peaceful and tolerant verses of the Qur’an come from when Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) was weak and persecuted in Mekkah. According to this islamophobe Baboon, These verses are “cancelled”, they argue, by the violent-sounding verses in the Medinan chapters.


The Islamophobe deceivers portray Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) as opportunistic:

when he was weak and under the rule of the pagans, he called for peace. Without being in a position of authority, Muhammad was hardly in a position to do otherwise. As soon as he came to power, however, he waged “jihad warfare” (what a strange phrase!) against them. This is why, they argue, the peaceful verses of the Quran simply “don’t count”.

For now, however, we will demonstrate that, using such logic, it is equally possible to invalidate the “peaceful” sayings of Jesus. While he was a persecuted prophet, Jesus advocated nonviolence and peaceful resistance. He was hardly in a position to do otherwise, right? Once in power, however, this changes dramatically and violent warfare becomes the new
modus operandi .

God has allowed for just wars throughout the history of His people. From Abraham to Deborah to David, God’s people have fought as instruments of judgment from a righteous and holy God. Romans 13:1-4 tells us to submit ourselves to government authorities and that nations have the right to bear the sword against evildoers, both foreign and domestic.

Violence occurs, but we must recognize the difference between holy judgment on sin and our own personal vendettas against those we dislike, which is the inevitable outcome of pride

Jesus sayings...

Luke 19:27 But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and kill them in my presence.

Death and destruction will be the fate of whoever does not accept Jesus’ reign as Warrior King.
This was hardly an innocuous story. It reminds us of a scene in the movie Gladiator when the evil Roman emperor Commodus tells his nephew a story about an “emperor” who was betrayed by his sister (“his own blood”) and how he “struck down” her son as revenge. (

One can only hardly imagine how Islamophobes would react had it been the Prophet Muhammad who had used such a violent parable, threatening to return to earth in order to “slay” anyone who “did not want me to reign over them”! This would certainly “count” since all violence in the Quran “counts” whereas whatever is peaceful in the Quran “doesn’t count”, and whatever is violent in the Bible “doesn’t count” and whatever is peaceful in the Bible “counts”. Heads I win, tails you lose.

Prophet Muhammad is a red line for many of us, a line that must not be crossed. By Allah, we love him more than our parents, our siblings, our children and friends. People should learn to show some respect for our religion & Prophets
I may forgive you if you insult my father, mother and siblings. I may forgive you if you mistakenly kill any of my loved ones. I may forgive you if deny me my rights, BUT I will never forgive you if you disparage my Prophet, I will never forgive you if you laugh & make joke out the unfair statements & insults some people make against my prophet
Prophet Muhammad is the best human being I have ever known and read about. He was a model of righteousness, a man that was praised by Allah Himself as enshrined in the Quran. He is the most admirable figure in Islam. He was known to be very pious, compassionate, empathetic, forgiving, caring and loving. Numerous non Muslims made good remarks about him. In fact, one of them rated him as the best man to ever lived
Prophet Muhammad lived a selfless life, he lived for the good of humanity. He gave up his own personal gains & comfort to liberate mankind from ignorance & idolatry as commanded by his Lord. He underwent persecution for his belief, and even when his patience was tried severally, he was never unkind in words or deeds. So for anyone or group to compare the prophet with a bigot like Igboho for whatsoever reason is malicious, distasteful and unfair to say the least. Why should the prophet's name be mentioned in matters involving Mr. Sunday in the first place? Why
If you have nothing good to say about the prophet, please leave him alone. We know his value & quintessential status in Islam and you know not. LEAVE HIM ALONE! May Allah continue to exalt our noble Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

It seems you only know how to throw jabs against other religions but can't take any criticism of yours.
That I respond to your post with historical facts and sources suddenly make me "Anti-Muslim" and an Islamphobe? Do you have to be so petty and shallow rather than responding to issues with facts?

And for your information, the Luke 19:27 you quoted was done out of context and maliciously. What Jesus was saying from verse 12 to 27 was a parable about a man who had himself appointed a king in a distant land and that fact is clear to anyone reading from verse 11 - "While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable..." For you to attempt to maliciously misrepresent a simple and unambiguous Bible verse just to try to falsely portray Jesus as supporting violence paints an unsavoury picture of your person and integrity.

If you have to lie and twist facts to support any cause, then such cause is not really worth supporting in all honesty. You need to have a rethink.

Ibkhaleel01:
Many are skeptical because they have been so brain washed for centuries. In the present time, when one listens to some of the TV Evangelists and reads the New Testament one gets completely different sides of Jesus. Those Evangelists are experts in presenting half the truth about both Jesus and Muhammad. They stress only one side in the most forceful and persuasive way. They raise the slogan "believe in Jesus." But one should have the right to ask, which Jesus?

♦ The one who said "love your enemies", Luke 6:27 or the one that said "But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them"bring them here and slaughter them in my presence", Luke 19:27.

♦ The one who said "forgive, and you will be forgiven", Luke 6:37, or the one who said "if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you", Matthew 18:8?

♦ The one who said "bless them that curse you", Matthew 5:44, or the one who said "he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death", Matthew 15:4?

As a Muslim, I understand both sides, because Jesus, like Muhammad, was both merciful when mercy was required and powerful when power was required. God himself has both heavens and hellfire. Yet half the truth Evangelists never failed to present only the merciful side of Jesus and only the powerful side of Muhammad.

There is no basis for comparison netween Jesus and Muhammad, particularly on the issue of mercy. Jesus was sinless as acknowledged both in the Bible and the Quran and was accompanied by miracles that bore witness to his prophethood and divinity. The same cannot be said of Muhammad.
In fact Muhammad was generally accussed of sadism and mercilessness, examples of which include the invasion of the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina, raiding of caravans, killing of four merchants during the sacred month of Rajab, the killing of 70 merchants and 900 men from Mecca, the killing of the poets Asma bint Marwan and Abu Afak, and the initial motivation to kill followed by eventual expelling of the Jewish tribe of Banu Qaynuqa.

To compare Mohammad with Jesus who was compassionate enough to say anyone without sin should stone a woman caught in sin, who restored back the ear of someone cut when he was being arrested, who never killed a single soul, healed several sick people, woke up the dead and gave his life on the cross for the sins of mankind is to commit a great disservice to honesty and truthfulness.

I am not trying to criticise anyone's religion but we need to be honest and truthful when advancing any claims particularly in the public. To label Muhammad or Islam as merciful is a view that is only shared by Muslims due to sentiments and not by Non-Muslims at all. You can't say people who say negative things about your prophet and God (blasphemy) and those who decide to leave your religion (apostasy) are punishable by death and still say you have a merciful religion in the same breath. You can't have a history of forcing people to convert to your religion or die under the sword and say your religion is merciful. If you want to use mercy by all means, then you need to redefine yours from the one we all know.

Always blaming others. You are all failure.

Typical blackman mentality of blaming colonial masters for their woes!

India was also colonized. Singapore was also colonized. Macau, a former Portuguese colony now has a better performing economy than Portugal.

Instead of admitting their failure and asking for forgiveness, Abdulsalam and his generation that are the major cause of the mess we are in now are busy shifting blame on the whitemen that left more than 60 years ago! Can a man who left his father's house more than 60 years ago still blame his dad for his failure to be a success? Haba!

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. I thought that blacks hardly resign from their position. This can only happen in a saner clime and not in a shithole

Blacks don't resogn when they know they can enjoy power and steal without responsibility or accountability. If a position is not as lucrative as the responsibilities and accountability, blacks won't mind resigning.

Maybe the money he has accumulated is about to finish

Sometimes it is not about money but about relevance and power.

This means the PDP President has automatically been zoned away from the North since Chairman and President cannot come from the same zone.

Majority of Nigerians or core northerners?

Be like say Alhaji don dey grow old.

It is the basis on which they source funds from their foreign sponsors in the Middle East. Deception within deception, lying that most Nigerians prefer Islam or they are in the majority.

Surprisingly is it not his fellow Islamic Sunni brothers that want him incarcerated indefinitely or dead? Can he survive in a purely Sunni Islamic country?

Not surprised. The rule of law in Nigeria is configured to protect the rich.

The Judge and Kalu's lawyers are trying to twist the law corruptly to suit their purposes. If a previous trial has been declared a "nullity" by the Supreme Court, it is taken as if the trial never occurred, like it is wiped out of memory because it has zero legal effect. That being the case, Kalu cannot now try to claim double jeopardy for a previous trial that by law never existed having been declared nullity. By law he has not been convicted in a trial that is nullity. So he is just trying to play on our collective intelligence.

[s][/s] You're talking off point . The Nigerian case is completely different from the issue plaguing Afghanistan. Nigeria's problem is centred on religious and social-cultural issues , while Afganistan is basically centred on a religious sentiment towards extremism. Note the difference

What I responded to was the poster's assumption that Afghans seem to be enjoying the Taliban by allowing them to rule since the Taliban apparently are a minority. My response is to debunk that claim that Afghans are enjoying the Taliban rule and that is why I equated it to someone assuming Nigerians are enjoying Fulani rule when Fulani are clearly a minority. I am less concerned about the problems of either Nigeria or Afghanistan in my response because the parallel is only related to minority rule and the assumptions of contentment on the part of the majority.
