The Ibos have desired the presidency for decades. You are currently their biggest hope and you sell out the Ibos by promising 1 term?

Are you subconsciously telling others that Ibos are not deserving of 2 terms? That they are second class?

Anyway it doesn’t matter he will never be president!

Politicstoday:
Peter Obi in 3 pictures of Nigeria Political System. Never believe in a man that says he will serve one term. Na pure lies and propaganda. Obi has already changed 3 parties already. He's about to decamp to 4th party. Sincerely I don't believe in that man.

Brendaniel:
Well, the north is learning the hard way, they let themselves get deceived by the southwest instead of listening to the Igbos, one major reason it took so long for them to realize Igbos have always told them the truth even before independence is the difference between OBJ and Tinubu, a lot of people may not understand but if you do, kudos to you...

Boomark:
No. Show me boomark in the bible first.


Its like these are the kind of things you like.

You don't like discussing anything or answering questions from the bible.

Boomark:
Don't worry about seeing it because you have never been seeing anything before now. Even things that are around you you cannot see.

Summary of answer
Masturbation (for both men and women) is haram (forbidden) in Islam based on evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah. See the detailed answer for 13 tips on how to give up masturbation.

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

Is masturbation haram in Islam?
Masturbation (for both men and women) is haraam (forbidden) in Islam based on the following evidence:

Prohibition of masturbation in the Quran
Al-Imam Shafi'i stated that masturbation is forbidden based on the following verses from the Quran (interpretation of the meaning):

{And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors.} (Al-Muminun 23:5-7)

Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal sexual acts (including masturbation) except for the wives or what their right hand possesses. {And whoever seeks beyond that is the transgressor.}

Some scholars used as evidence the ayah (in meaning),

{And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His bounty.} (Al-Nur 24:33)

This verse also clearly orders whoever does not have the financial means to marry to keep himself chaste and be patient in facing temptations (including masturbation) until Allah enriches them of His bounty.

Prohibition of masturbation in the Sunnah
'Abdullaah ibn Mas’ud said, "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while we were young and had no wealth whatsoever. Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.'" (Al-Bukhari 5066)

The hadeeth orders men who are not able to marry to fast despite the hardship encountered in doing so, and not to masturbate despite the ease with which it can be done.

There is additional evidence that can be cited to support this ruling on masturbation, but due to the limited space we will not go through them here.

Tips on how to give up masturbation
As for curing/treating the habit of masturbation, we recommend the following suggestions:

1. The motive to seek a cure for this problem should be solely following Allah's orders and fearing His punishment.

2. A permanent and quick cure from this problem lies in marriage as soon as the person is able, as shown in the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) hadeeth.

3. Keeping oneself busy with what is good for this world and the Hereafter is essential in breaking this habit before it becomes second nature after which it is very difficult to rid oneself of it.

4. Lowering the gaze (from looking at forbidden things such as pictures, movies etc.) will help suppress the desire before it leads one to commit the haram (forbidden). Allah orders men and women to lower their gaze as shown in the following two verses and in the Prophet's hadith.

{Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things) and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is all-aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things) and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) ..... } (24: 30-31)

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not follow a casual (unintentional) look (at forbidden things) with another look." (Al-Tirmidhi, 2777) This is a general instruction by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to abstain from all that may sexually excite a person because it might lead him/her to commit the haram (forbidden).

5. Using one's available leisure time in worshipping Allah and increasing religious knowledge.

6. Being cautious not to develop any of the medical symptoms that may result from masturbation such as weak eyesight, weak nervous system, and/or back pain. More importantly, feelings of guilt and anxiety that can be complicated by missing obligatory prayers because of the need to shower (ghusl) after every incidence of masturbation, especially in the winter, and the invalidating of the fast.

7. Avoiding the illusion that some youth have that masturbation is permissible because it prevents them from committing illegal sexual acts such as fornication or even homosexuality, while they may not be at the gates of that immorality to begin with.

8. Strengthening one's willpower and not surrendering to the shaytan, and avoiding spending time alone as recommended by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said "Do not spend the night alone" Ahmad, 6919.

9. Following the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) aforementioned hadeeth and fasting when possible, because fasting will temper one's sexual desire and keep it under control. However, one should not overreact and swear by Allah not to return to the act because if one does not honor one's promise, one would be facing the consequences of not living up to one's oath to Allah. Also, note that medication to diminish one's sexual desire is strictly prohibited because it might permanently affect one's sexual ability.

10. Trying to follow the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) recommendation concerning the etiquette of getting ready for bed, such as reading the well-known supplications, sleeping on the right side, and avoiding sleeping on the belly (the Prophet-peace and blessings be upon him- forbade sleeping on the belly).

11. Striving hard to be patient and chaste, because persistence will eventually, Allah willing, lead to attaining those qualities as second nature, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explains in the following hadith:

"Whoever seeks chastity Allah will make him chaste, and whoever seeks help from none but Allah, He will help him, and whoever is patient He will make it easy for him, and no one has ever been given anything better than patience." Al-Bukhari:1469.

12. If one falls into this sin, they must hasten to repent, asking forgiveness from Allah, doing good deeds, and not losing hope and feeling despair; these are all prerequisites to curing this problem. Note that losing hope is one of the major sins punishable by Allah.

13. Finally, Allah is the Most Merciful and He always responds to whoever calls on Him. So, asking for Allah's forgiveness and help will be accepted, by His will.

And Allah knows best

It's a waste of time, he won't give you because any definition will only widen his holey arguments!

He just wants to play it safe, engage with them(image123 & fxmasters), declare himself victorious then appease his blustery ego😂 .

Boomark:
Now that I have defined it for you as 666 in that link, you can now flee as usual.

Those who are deluded cannot see far. The truth has been hidden from them for rejecting God and the words of Jesus Christ. They only get revelation from satan.

Oya you can now disappear or you answer my question about what Jesus said which all of you have been dodging.

Don't rejoice whenever you feel I have been trapped. I am standing on a strong tower which is the word of God. You will end up being frustrated like Gabrielshow24 and all trinitarians.

Do not be deceived.

I am Bookmark of God

Boomark:
You are already seeing a G.O.

What can I do for you? I don't want people that dodge questions like you. So get me a G. O.

You have never imagined the reason you are so scared to answer my question? I am standing on the foundation which is Christ Jesus.

I am G. O Boomark of God

Image123:
Yeah long time, hope you've been good?
The Christian walk is mainly faith based not arguments based, so i don't see how winning an argument proves anything in Christianity. Even guilty murderers can win arguments with a good lawyer, this doesn't establish truth by any means.
Aside that, people who believe in trinity believe that God is one, and He is over all, so why should they be expected to rebut what they believe? Trinity is believed to be a mystery, don't sweat it. Cheers

Boomark:
You people are already so afraid.

It will not judge anything spiritual.

It will point out those talking out of point as they made in their claim.

For example.
If you claim that Jesus has 12 disciples and use bible verses of where David killed Goliath as back up. It will tell you that you are talking out of point.

All eyes will see it and the screenshot of everything will be posted.

Why are you people so afraid?

Boomark:
So you guys have nothing to worry about since I am at disadvantage. Unless trinitarian are already so scared.
ChatGPT will help us to point people who talk out of point like you and still insist they are on point. Why not take up the challenge and use all the scripture and implications you have to prove me wrong.

What I'm sensing already hear from you people is a great Fear.

I am not afraid. My interest is to prove that everything you have been believing is a lie and now you are scared.

Boomark:
Those who are scared and afraid are not allowed.

The purpose of the challenge is to expose people who have nothing to offer and lie like this.

Steep:
No, it is not done that way. You are the one who raised the argument, hence must clarify terms so that others can respond.
If you are really honest bookmark.
Set the foundation
What is the Trinity? And in addition also what does it mean to God?

Gabrielshow24:
Probably, you are not well informed @boomark, even ChatGpt you hope to use as a "marker" is flawed and not the ultimate "marker" of what is true in Christianity and not!

We take the scripture in its entirety, along with its implications 😂. You can't just run away from the implications of the fact that someone said He is the "first and the last" with books earlier, revealing God exactly as the "first and the last"!

Hopefully this time, you define your problem statement 😂 clearly! If you hope to dismiss trinity then you must state what trinity is! That's how a dissertation is! — All related statements and terms are well enunciated! e.g., You will define to us what makes God God! You will take the Son as well as the Spirit and look for ways to negate any fulfilling such a boundary!

ChatGpt can't be the judge of all these, it was trained with a dataset and I am very sure that most of its dataset are trinity oriented😂! You are definitely at an huge disadvantage here, and reason is not your forte🤔 — it's also not always on your side given the perfunctory fact that you are a product of those special centers🤧. Humor and sarcasm should be allowed, they help buttress the height of "wisdom" 😂😂—"Jesus is a God but not God almighty" , "No difference between God and God almighty" 😂, " Angels just saw Jesus only when he became flesh", "boomark is a Christian but not a Christian church" etc😂

Boomark:
At this point we are not teaching anything.

You guys can start first. State what trinity stand for in your claim and back it up with key verses. I will counter whatever it is. After that round, I will make my own claim for you people to counter.

Boomark:
Wow, I can see you have great knowledge.
Please you are free to take up the challenge.

Our goal is to end all these, "I talk you talk teachings" even when we are all talking out of point. The truth will do the talking henceforth.

If I can get a G.O or pastor or rev father, it will be wonderful.

But you guys are free to bring someone from here that will disgrace all of you. That's exactly why I am here. To make sure it happens for the sake of the truth about the word of our God which a lot of people are twisting.

Please let's click and follow this thread. The link for the challenge thread will be posted here

Boomark:
I want to use this opportunity to call for a bible challenge on Trinity. I want to prove to the whole world that trinity is a false doctrine from the antichrist and not the will of God. The challenge will actually expose those who have been believing a lie and are subtly opposing Christ. I call on trinitarians to nominate any person who you feel is capable.

This place will be used as the discussion platform. Apart from the contestants and referee, no post will be allowed in the main challenge thread until it is over and a winner emerge.

If no one turns up to challenge me, then it will be obvious that trinity doctrine is truly a false doctrine. By then, I will fly around with the name of Jehovah God like a bird with ten thousand wings. And you will also know the I am Boomark of God.

So if you feel you are capable and not scared, take up the challenge. You people are plenty so I believe you won't disappoint your belief. The challenge will start on Wednesday 30th July 2025, that is next week.

These are the guidelines which will be copied to the main challenge thread.

SmartPolician:
Oga, rest! If you are tired of one Nigeria, push for its balkanization. Until then, everyone has the right to live and vote in any part of the country. That's what the constitution says.

No ethnic group has pushed for this madness we call a country to end like the Igbos. If you are tired of the contraption too, get your legislators to do the same.

This is what some of us have been saying. Neither evolution nor the God of religion can explain the origin of life in the universe.

Validated:
When Tinubu and Buhari could not form an alliance in 2011 because Tinubu was interested in presidency as well as Buhari, the PDP defeated both CPC and ACN. That taught them a lesson that one had to step-down for the other.

Fast-forward to 2014, they formed APC with Tinubu remaining patient while supporting Buhari. Tinubu's patience did not mean he was not interested in becoming president. He had to wait and in his place, supported an neophyte in the person of Osinbajo.The rest is now history.

Following from above, Peter Obi should support Atiku to do one term as President. With that arrangement APC will be defeated by 12.00 non.
Then in 2031, he can run as president for 8 years.
He can even beat his chest to say "Emolikan" in Igbo. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Obi waiting till 2031, if not Obi has no other route to presidency.

If Obi runs alone in LP or other party, APC will win again. Then come 2031, power will go back to the North. That means waiting till 2039, who knows who will be alive by then and infact Obi woukd have been 79 or 80 self, and too old to have a say.

My opinion ... nobody pays me to express it. However it is the bitter ruth that may be too bitter a pill for some people to swallow.

Softmirror:
Simply because they know there boundaries and limitations. Charity they say begins at home. Infact Igbos have an imbended culture and tradition of discriminating among themselves Igbos, the outcast system called 0'su is a fact.

WesleyPepper:
It’s the population of the Ibos in the west that is causing the problem .
You can’t have that kind of noise in the East because you don’t have plenty Yorubas dragging your limited space and resources with you .

That is the truth

Gabrielshow24:
There’s an old Yoruba parable: ‘Before accepting help, take a good look at the helper’s garment.’ 😂
It’s wisdom wrapped in wit.

Now, based on what this person has written, does he strike you as someone who truly meditates? I always thought meditation was supposed to deepen reasoning—not dilute it. Apparently, I was wrong!

You already claim to have God’s conviction—what more are you searching for? Before I became a Christian, God had to convince me of my own objectivity. Even without any spiritual revelation, I approached the concept of the Trinity with a logical mind. I treated the Bible like an academic thesis: I defined my terms clearly and set out to prove that Jesus wasn't God. But the deeper I went, the more I discovered that Scripture doesn't support that claim—in fact, it repeatedly affirms the opposite.

From Genesis to Revelation, Christ is consistently revealed as the Redeemer of mankind. From walking with Adam in Eden to His return in Revelation, the narrative unmistakably points to one simple truth: Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Out of divine love, He revealed the Father to us.

Then I turned to the Spirit. I began asking serious questions:
Is there anything God can do that His Spirit cannot?

Again, I searched Scripture—and again, I came up short. That led me to a simple, logical conclusion: to limit the Spirit is to limit God Himself.

In the Hebrew Scriptures, the Spirit is often described as an active force—wind-like in nature. Yet the effects, the authority, and the presence of the Spirit are consistently divine in scope.

So now, I invite others to engage with these questions—both scripturally and logically. I have plenty more to challenge your grey matter, and you’re absolutely welcome to consult a concordance.

Let’s reason together!

Ken4Christ:
There was no time I expected anything good from Tinubu led government. I am sorry to say this; he is mentally unstable. How can a man who is not sound both mentally and physically rule a nation like Nigeria successfully and maintain a good international policy?

The only focus of this government is how they can embezzle more funds and use it to come back to power in 2027. We need an aggressive opposition to unseat this government. Nigerians also have to stop selling their birthrights for a morsel of meal.

Boomark:
God bless you too. Have a wonderful day meditating on the scripture I have shown you.

esnbrutality:
Tinubu a disaster became relevant because the NORTH hated the SE. Especially those in the BUHARI regime. Now, they are faced by a failure that has done what the SW is known for ...TREACHERY and failure in Governance.

Next time...keep in mind that what the SE earnestly want is a working economy, where tribal and religious zealots have NO SAY!!...or ...you allow them have their BIAFRA. Its that simple.

Anyway..TINUBU cant return as President, he is just too inept and incompetent.

shortgun:
Since 2023, Tinubu fired every Nigerian ambassador without a plan, without replacements and without a clue.
Today, Nigeria has no ambassadors anywhere in the world not even at the United Nations.

None. Zero. Zilch!

What kind of country deliberately silences its own voice on the global stage? What kind of leader watches it happen and does nothing?

Investors are watching. Foreign governments are confused. Nigerians abroad are suffering.
Meanwhile, Tinubu and his gang are too busy playing politics and sharing appointments like party favors.

Diplomatic missions are not decoration pieces. They are vital organs of a nation’s survival in a global economy and Tinubu has yanked the cord and left the country bleeding.

This has never happened before in Nigeria.
No country not even war-torn ones has ever gone this long completely voiceless in international diplomacy.

It’s not just an international embarrassment.
It’s a loud blinking sign that this administration is not fit to govern a WhatsApp group, let alone a country.

The mass recall of all ambassadors in 2023 without timely replacement is not just irresponsible,it’s reckless.
