MURIC in its bid to follow its mandate seems not to be averse to lies and deception.

1. It is not true that Christianity arrived in Nigeria in 1842. Christianity came to Nigeria in the 15th century through Augustinian and Capuchin monks from Portugal. It was the first mission of the Church of England that established in 1842 in Badagry.

2. The statement that Shariah in South West was established decades before arrival of Christianity is a big lie in many ways. The Sharia Court at Ede which is the first ever was established during the reign of Oba Abibu Lagunju, a reign that only started in 1855 when Lagunju became the first Muslim Timi of Ede and 1855 is much later than even 1842 by any metric.

3. Sharia by definition is Islamic canonical law based on the teachings of the Koran and the traditions of the Prophet (Hadith and Sunna), prescribing both religious and secular duties and sometimes retributive penalties for lawbreaking. It is a given that modern democracy and the Nigeria Constitution cannot exist in co-implementation with Sharia. Sharia Law on Apostasy and Blasphemy are clear violations of various sections under the Nigeria Constitution relating to human rights.

If non-Muslims like Christians express worry about Sharia in a secular State, they have valid reasons to be so worried.

By virtue of Nigeria being a secular State, it is wrong to use State resources to further any religion, be it Christian or Muslim and a Sharia Court funded from the State coffers is State support for a particular religion no matter how you look at it.

The problem here is not the guy but those that invested in such scheme...

You need to understand that scamming is a crime and no matter how foolish you may want to say the victims are, they are not criminals. The criminal is the scammer.

What Government needs to do is to criminalize Ponzi Schemes by law just as it is done in the United States. You do not have to wait for victims to write petitions before arresting Ponzi operators; that is medicine after death.

GIANTPLUSHUB:
Seems like a nice deal.

The deal should not be allowed. It will end up conferring inequitable advantage on the Dangote Group to the detriment of other private competitors in the industry. He may end up having dollars from CBN at heavily discounted rates, get concessions on taxes and other unfair advantages based on the excuse that Government has equity in it via NNPC.

jimyjames:
Awolowo was not that man, just like almadu Bello who declined to be the prime minister of Nigeria and choose to be the prime minister of northern region giving the position of Nigerian prime minister to fellow northerner belewa , awolowo only cared about Yoruba, western region more than he did for Nigeria as a nation.

Your assertion is wrong. If Awolowo were like Ahmadu Bello and only cared about Yoruba:

1. He would have joined Biafra in pulling the Yoruba out of Nigeria instead of being of so much value as Finance Minister during the civil war. He had more chance of being the President of a Yoruba nation than being the President of Nigeria.

2. He would not have aspired to be the President of Nigeria or bothered about all that was happening in the center. He would simply have stuck to the Western Region.

jaheymezz:
This man can actually talk about ban been unconstitutional but he has nothing to say concerning insecurity in the country? Nah no way this man is not funding this Fulani herdsmen

It is quite saddening that President Buhari who promised to uphold the rule of law and AGF Malami who is the Chief Law Officer of the country are backing a position driven purely by ethnic affiliations and sentiments against the ckear position of the law, justice, fairness and equity. In their desperation they are even trying to erroneously interprete part of the constitution to the detriment of the majority and the benefit of their ethnic group!

1. As far back as 1969, Justice Adewale Thompson, then of the State High Court in Abeokuta delivered ruling that banned open grazing. In his ruling he stated that open grazing as a custom is not only unreasonable and but also repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience and therefore unenforceable. Thee rulling waas never aappealed tiill date and stands as the position of the law.

2. A Federal High Court recently ruled that the banning if open grazing by the Governors is allowed by the constitution and the extant laws of the country.

Assuming Buhari is not aware of these legal positions, at least Malami as a SAN and the AGF should be. It is therefore highly disheartening that both of them are facing the same direction away from the law and still trying to justify their watery ground contrary to the general interest of the country!

FatherOfJesus:
Thanks for letting me know that you believe the Bible blindly and that the Bible is not comprehensive enough. It has loopholes

Please support your assertions and claims with verbatim and specific quotes from my statement. And also expantiate on the line of reasoning that produced your conclusions without relying on assumptions.

FatherOfJesus:
Another way to say ‘I don’t know the answer to the question, just accept Jesus blindly and stop asking questions”

1. How old was Abel when he was killed by Cain?
2. How many sons and daughters did Adam have?
3. What are the exact heights and weights of Adam and Eve?
4. How did Eve understand the concept and management of pregnancy when she first became pregnant?
5. How did Adam learn to be a midwife to Eve during the delivery of their first born?

If you cannot answer these questions from the Bible, someone promises not to eat again. You know, that person may as well go hungry for the rest of his life because the truth is that given the latitude, a fool can ask the wisest man in the world several questions that the wisest man may not be able to answer.

The reality is that questions have purpose and the requirement for a definition of purpose and objective is what gives meaning and importance to some questions. What is the purpose and objective of your question?

It is difficult to find a single text book that gives explicit answers to all possible questions on an academic subject, how much more someone expecting a book that gives explicit answers to all possible questions in history and life. The Bible for the Christian is a map to heaven and not a detailed encyclopeadia of world history. You may choose to use the map or choose to strike out blind. It is your choice because you ain't doing anyone but yourself a favour going to heaven.

Julianaa:
Some Nigerian states are really going backwards

Their action in the first instance is unconstitutional.
The constitution does not make place for a State Religion and but unfortunately that is what the Northerners are doing: using State funds to sponsor a particular religion in a secular country.

Hotshisha:
Except Hamas terrorist militia and Isreali defence forces are made to account for every single soul lost in this attack by charging them to international criminal court then the 66 children died in vain

Unfortunately quite a number of Palestinians and the Muslim world are not seeing Hamas as an enemy of the Palestinian people and a causal agent in the death of the innocent children. At the end of the day the losers are the Palestinian people with infrastructure worth millions of dollars destroyed and innocent lives wasted.

Has Hamas ever used fund it solicits from donors to build insfrastructure and improve the lives of Palestinians? No. The money goes into building bunkers, tunnels, buying rockets and media propaganda against Israel. So you ask, what is really the agenda of Hamas and how does it benefit Palestinians?

ThatFairGuy:
Bring the true story please

You can read part of the true story through the link below from my response on another thread. The Palestinians and their apologists are very economical with the truth.

https://www.nairaland.com/6554701/palestinian-loss-land-1946-present/2#101730956

Even the Quran admits that God gave the Land of Canaan (which it called Palestine) to the Jews and has a similar story to the Moses, Joshua and Caleb accounts in the Bible.

flemsy15:
In Nigeria, when the favour or the money reaches you, it's called CONNECTION.
But when e no reach you, it's called CORRUPTION.

There's a very high probability that this one is complaining and looking for transparency because they left her out of the sharing formula.

Armed Robbers went on an operation and left out one of them during the sharing of the loot. The robber that was left oit reported to the Police and all the robbers were arrested and the society was the better for it.

When someone exposes or speaks against corruption and your response is to try to discredit the person and his or her action by claiming without evidence that he or she did what she did because she was left out of the sharing formula, you should know that you are not being neutral but supporting corruption indirectly. The society gets better when corruption is exposed and not when people who expose or fight corruption are undermined!

What do you think the society gains when people who expose corruption are shamed to keeping quiete and looking the other way? If you do not have anything to say, it is better to be quiete than to be a subtle enemy of the society by your words.

eduj:
The only way to discredit the fact that the region of isreal historically belongs to the Jews is to discredit one of the oldest know religious/historical document- The bible.
And that is why Muslims never acknowledge it despite the fact that they lifted info from it (christianity came before islam)

You would be surprised to know that even the Quran admits that God gave the Land of Canaan (which it called Palestine) to the Jews and has a similar story to the Moses, Joshua and Caleb accounts in the Bible.

Palestine: Important Reminder to All Muslims

In this critical stage of the emancipation of occupied Palestine from the bloodthirsty Zionist Israeli barbarians, ask yourself this question "What am I doing to help?"

#ElbinawiTweets

Some people create problems for which the majority of the pain are borne by others. Hamas fights to further its own agenda while suffering the other Palestinians. They have bunkers they will run into to save their hides while the innocent suffer. They fire rockets from civilian areas and use human shields. They target civilians with rockets and circulate pictures of wounded or killed children to gain sympathy and whip up sentiments, innocent children whose deaths are indirectly caused by the actions of Hamas. All these point to the fact that Hamas and its leaders are not honourable people and the Palestinians need to see through it. There are some selfish and personal agenda Jihads that some just want to project differently to decieve the gullible. All the intifadas and wars from 1948 till date have only achieved one clear thing: The gradual loss of land to the Isrealites. Only fools continue to fight battles without assessing the gains and losses!

Saifullah01:
The banner reads :
"The Germans destroyed our families please dont you destroy our hopes"

What an irony the situation has turned to today

That is a picture of the illegal immigrant ship Theodor Herzl carrying Jewish refugees which arrived in Haifa, Palestine, in 1947. Note that the British were in control of Mandatory Palestine then and they actually intercepted and deported those refugees and others like them numbering over 50,000 to detention camps in Cyprus between August 1946 and May 1948.

The appeal of hope was more to the British drawing on the Balfour Declaration of 1917 than an appeal to the Palestinians who so hated the Jews that they had anti-zionist and anti-british militant groups. In fact a day after the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948, they were attacked by the neighbouring Arab countries.

The Jews have strong historical claims to the area which was known in ancient times as the Land of Canaan, than the Palestinians who descended from the Philistines who were themselves part of the Sea Poeple that invaded ancient Egypt and were settled in the southwest part of Canaan (Philistia) by Pharaoh Rameses III around 1200BC. The Ottoman and Muslim rule of the region for 1,400 years after the invasion and conquest of the Levant definitely aided the expansion of the Palestinians who became Muslims and intermarried with Arabs and the exodus of the Jews who would not accept Islam, thereby granting the Palestinians their claimed "ownership" of the region even up to Jerusalem, which is situated on the Judean plateau (heart of the ancient Kingdom of Judah) and which everyone knows historically belonged to the Jews.

Unsurprisingly in a bid to find historical ties to Jerusalem, Yasser Arafat and some Palestinians have tried to claim without any cogent supporting facts, that they are descendants of the Jebusites from whom King David won the city in battle in the ancient times!

It is necessary to know the proper history of things instead of circulating pictures with false analogies to stoke sentiments. Jewish refugees never appealed to Palestinians but to the British.

Lukuluku69:
Did Jesus ask you to go on Pilgrimage? Please show me where he said that in the Bible.

When Muslims were in Control of Jerusalem because they have been in control of that piece of land more than anyone, were Christians stopped from coming to that City?

Find out and let Nairaland know.

1. It is understandable that Christians would love to visit historic biblical sites in Isreal whether mandated by the Bible or not. There are several things people do in relation to their religion that are not explicitly commanded in their Holy Books and you cannot blame them for that.

2. Jerusalem is situated on the plateau of the Judean Mountains which is the heart of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. Judah is one of the tribes of Israel. Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. Any Muslim claim to Jerusalem came by invasion, and invaders are interlopers. Is it not a big irony when your wife's lover has the confidence to tell you he is not disturbing you from accessing your wife?

Bettykeys:
Unbelievable

Nigerian Christians that are supporting Israel are not even aware that the population of Christians in Israel is not up to 3%

Jews are 75%
While Muslims 15%

1. Christians go to Jerusalem for pilgrimage and I do not think you expect they would be happy to have the place taken over by Muslims?

2. Do you blindly support people of your religion or you rather support the truth? Palestinians are descendants of the Philistines who were part of the Sea People that invaded ancient Egypt and were settled in the southern part of the Land of Canaan after their defeat by Pharaoh Rameses III around 1200BC. They were not indigenous to that region unlike the Isrealites. The purported short history dating back to 1947 that said the Palestinians owned the land is fallacy!

helinues:
Given by who?

In late 1917 British forces conquered Palestine from Ottoman-Tutk, ending 1,400 years of Islamic rule over the region. By that time Jews only accounted for 6 percent of the total population. Incessant wars and persecution over centuries had driven out most of the Jewish population from their homeland.

The area labelled as Palestine and extending into Lebanon were initially known as land of Canaan which was the name used in Biblical times. Canaan covered Land of Israel (Judea, Samaria, etc), Phoenicia and Philistia (Land of the Philistines). The Palestinians are descendants of the Philistines. The Philistines were part of the Sea People who invaded ancient Egypt and were relocated to the southern abandoned coast of Canaan by Pharaoh Ramesses III after his victory over them around 1200BC.

Below is a map of the region from around 1200BC to 1050BC where the 12 tribes of Israel occupied majority of the area with Philistia just beside the Mediterranean Sea to the southwest. For Palestinian apologists to be claiming they owned the region because most Jews were exiled by wars and 1,400 years of Islamic rule that allowed the Palestinians to expand unfettered is erroneous history. The term Palestine in ancient lierature did not even exist until around 500BC.

The whites in South African can also draw maps of what used to be their land during the Apartheid era and then tell us how Zulus and other indigenous tribes encroached.

The Temple Mount, which is the holiest site of Judaism had the First Temple built there by King Solomon in 957BCE more than 1,500 years before the Muslim Caliph Umar came to build the Al-Aqsa mosque around the same area after muslim invasion of the Levant, turning it into the third holiest site of Islam.

salam8528:
Am not talking about what religion he belongs to. The place the Israelites are presently occupying are not theirs. They ran from Hitlers persecutions and the Palestinians help them with that land.

That is an abridged history that at best date back to 1947. The original Palestinians are descendants of the Philistines and were largely Christians and not Arabs. Arabian intermixing came much later after the Muslim invasion and conquest of the region shortly after Mohammed's death. Most of the Jews left due to wars and persecution in the region. That Temple Mount where the Al-Aqsa Mosque was first built by Umar centuries after Jesus came, there existed the First Temple of the Jews as far back as 600BCE which is centuries before Jesus came. It was destroyed around 585BCE but the Second Temple was again built and later destroyed around 70BCE more than 600 years before Mohammed and the first Al-Aqsa mosque (Note that the Al-Aqsa mosque had been destroyed twice by earthquakes and the current mosque is not the original one). The Temple Mount is one of the holiest if not the holiest sites of Judaism and the act of Umar building a mosque there to convert it to an Islamic holy site centuries after the First Temple was built on same land is a recipe for an everlasting strife.

If the Jews were exiled from the land they have been for centuries because they would not accept Islam and their neighbours accepted Islam, does that give the right for the neighbours to claim the Jewish lands? And then say years later when the Jews are returning back to their original lands, that they, the neighbours assisted the Jews with their own lands? Please let your knowledge of history be deep so you know the facts.

Brexxit:
Rubbish.

That guy is fvcking organ harvester.
What are textbooks,female shoes of different girls doing in that building?

The Police are clearly not doing a thorough job on the case. Imagine the CP saying purported graves looked like where yam have been harvested and said place is not in the moon but somewhere he and his mean could go to do thorough examination.

The Police also refused to cordon off the crime scene in order to do any proper investigation. For example what are containers of acid doing there? Why are there so many shoes, books even from primary school levels and certificates doing there?

Claims that the books belong to the killer's siblings and the mum was using the NYSC boots for farming are just plain ludicrous! What are the findings from Police investigation to corroborate and counter those stupid claims?!

Whizzdom:
What to do now when the remaining money has been frozen and the so-called lady calling my mom and threatening with police?

Do not return the money to any account given by the lady. Report the matter to the Department of State Security (DSS) and ensure you write a letter detailing what happened and include the details of the lady that you know. I repeat do not transfer to anybody. Let the bank reverse the money based on appropriate complaint. Ensure you are well covered legally to avoid stories that touch later.

They might have used your mother's account to fraudulently divert Government money and if you transfer to them and they disappear into thin air, your mother may be charged later for defrauding the Government! So you really need to thread carefully here.

Report physically and in writing that is acknowledged to the DSS and also EFCC and then let them trace the source and know what happened.

pimper24:
Your postulation has no legal basis. There's nothing like runaway father. Training someone else's child (a living conscious person) is a mere act of charity, though could crystallise into ownership if not proven otherwise by such biological parent however irresponsible. In other words, there's no way the biological father cannot claim the child if he wants or does not want to pay or compensate you for your alms. But if the child reaches majority and asserts your paternity, matter don finish cos at that age whoever he says is the father becomes the father and nothing more. Generally, people do this for charity and posterity. Fortunately, the child often grows up to adore you forever and that has always been the case. BTW, most of those foster or step children often grow up to be great.
AGAIN, child however, has the absolute decision to make if he reaches majority i.e 18 years in Nigeria, England and the rest.

My position on abandonment and adoption have sound legal basis and are based on facts and not personal opinion as you seem to be canvassing.

Google is your friend and you can see some of my sources below. Don't assume because you are the biological father no one can take your child away from you legally even when you are irresponsible. Please cite sources to support your position and not just give your opinion.

----- Sources below -------

Biological and adoptive parents who don't fulfill their responsibilities can have their rights terminated, which is a legal action with significant consequences that is difficult to undo. One of the most common reasons for termination of parental rights is abandonment.

https://info.legalzoom.com/article/parental-rights-terminated-due-child-abandonment

Generally, no more than two people may be the legal parents of any child, so asserting abandonment may be the only way for stepparents to adopt or for birth mothers to place their children for adoption without explicit consent from the father.

https://www.justia.com/family/adoptions/termination-parental-rights/abandonment/

Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents. Legal adoptions permanently transfer all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parent or parents.

PlayMaker14:
Sometimes I find it very difficult to believe that most of them are forced into Prostitution as they want to make us believe most times.


I might be wrong though, but this could be as a result of a sour agreement between the two parties involved and she sees this opportunity as an avenue to break free from the bossy madam and start a normal life.

Entering into a prostitution agreement even as an adult is illegal in Nigeria much less as a minor with whom sex, whether consensual or not, is statutory rape! There is no excuse or defense for the Madam involved.

Sonfethopia:
The law will tell the man he did not take permission from the read dad.

The dads permission is very much needed.

Parental rights can be terminated on the basis of abandonment. If the father has not seen the child in at least 6 months and doesn't fulfil obligations to the child, it can be inferred that he has abandoned the child and doesn't have parental rights. If these steps are taken and adoption then perfected, the runaway father has no rights to give any permission or consent and cannot nullify the adoption later.

SportsHD:
You can adopt him legally. You can treat him with love and care like he's yours. But just know that he's not yours. The father might come for him one day.
One of my Broski's married a single mom with 3 kids. As far as the love is genuine, everything else would fall into place.

Other than that, I wish you well in your endavours.

Once the child is legally adopted, no other father can come to claim him. The child will start bearing his surname and before the eyes of the law, the child is his own.

The only way women become billionaires is from divorce-VERIFIED FACT
In truth the future is females leeching on successful men to achieve their dreams.

That's why the adage says Behind every successful man is a feminist waiting to either accuse him of rape or file for divorce and take a cut from his wealth"
Ronaldo and Bill Gates are good examples

Oprah Winfrey, J. K. Rowling, Folorunsho Alakija, Kyle Jenner are all Billionaires without leeching to men! There are many ways women can become billionaires in their own rights, which all point to the fact that your claims and assertions are wrong.

That many women as men are not billionaires are due to several factors some of which include psychological, social, societal and religious and are out of the control of the women. How many women's dreams have been killed by marriage and the line of thinking that they belong in the kitchen and the other room?

Evidence from education has demonstrated that men are not always superior to women in intellect or knowledge. Are you as a person smarter or more brilliant than all the women in the schools you attended and various workplaces? If so, then your scope is limited. You need to quit this kind of thinking!

I see many comments in the same spirit as yours here and I know guys who have that mindset usually roll with girls with fish brains who have nothing but sex to contribute to relationships. But if you go by the principle that you attract who you are and birds of a feather nest together, then you can see where the problem is. You cannot roll with the likes of Mo Abudu, Ibukun Awosika, Kemi Adeosun, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and have same mindset. Change your crowd, change your thinking.

Juliusmalema:
I don't think so.

As Rotimi former girlfriend, you don't sex starve your benefactor even if you were once part of bringback our girls campaign

Hadiza Bala Usman being Rotimi girlfriend? Where do you get stories like that? She was nominated for the position by El-Rufai. That much is known to everyone. She worked under El-Rufai at Bureau of Public Enterprises and was also his Chief of Staff before the NPA appointment.

Women are very terrible beings. A woman, married or single can sleep with 10 men in same compound without anyone or even the husband knowing.
Married ones are the most promiscuous, they can bang any dick under boxers. They always fantasising about someone but can pretend to high heaven to be Saint and pure.
If you live where they see you all the time with different women, they will start gossiping you not because they hate you but because you didn't give them such chance so they would always give you green light to come bang them.

After this fight, Aj will be classified in the same category as Ali as the greatest fighter of all time.

Please don't soil Ali's memory. AJ and Ali are not in the same class at all by any metric. Ali comes from the Golden Age of boxing while the current boxing era is the worst as acknowledged by boxing experts. Mike Tyson admits he is nowhere near Ali and Tyson Fury admits prime Mike Tyson would knock him out under one round. So how do you compare Ali to AJ? Look at the quality of Ali's opponents who lost to him and are Hall of Famers and look at AJ's opponents: They don't even start to compare much less rank in the same category.

Take time to read from the link below and other boxing sources before trying to compare AJ to Ali.
