Islam is not a religion, its a political movement clearly. But it can be a religion to a blind man. Anywhere there is Islam they must start hatred even where they are initially loved. The yoruba muslims because of the high exposure level of westerners do not follow the tenets of islam to the latter and as such, renders them less-religious in the sights of their northern muslim brothers who dont hesitate to slaughter them along with other alkafiris. In one sentence - Islam is built on hate

OP, you should be ashamed of yourself to talk about your hateful religion - pisslam

Nickydrake: Anyone who has read Anton Chekhov's Ward 6 will understand how little laughter has got to do with madness. In fact, i should think that the most bizarre and fearful form of madness is that which is without mirth.

The laughing lunatic exists in utopian euphoria. He sees no need for any concern. The world, to him, is just as it should be; free of cares, free of thought itself.

Then there is the more terrible shade of madness. The subject is bound in dystopian darkness. His mind is a cinema of horrors. He is subdued and sorrowful in his brightest moments, and other times he is dragged deep down into inconsolable depression. He engages in thought in his own demented way, and with an expression of deep puzzlement asks utterly meaningless questions. He frowns. Sometimes he sobs. But he NEVER laughs.

Thank you sir for the brief and incisive education, I shall look for the book, accept my respects

1forall: When such a barbaric law is proposed by govt itself, isn't that giving credibility to a rating like - Nigeria is the world's worst country to be born in 2013?

Am sure its less babaric to rape a woman isn't it? Even a 4yr old? So am sure you want to copy the west where a rapist eventually works free. I hope you are not one?

damils: If U think they are defrauding people then U should also go put people together and defraud them and then come back to tell us how easy it was for U to start a church, nutria it till maturity and then how it was possible for U to defraud them.
Anyone who condemns God's ministers because he/she feels he knows how to speak or write good english is simply an "ANTI-CHRIST" or simply put "A DEVIL", and his or her end is The Lake of Fire.
No matter what, these are Men of God and U should have respect for your lives because till u pay with the last drop of ur blood, God isnt gonna stop fighting U.

Hello, please stay off topics that are beyond your age. So you think you are going to heaven because you keep your mouth shot? Has anybody returned from that heaven to gist you before? or hell? See how the fear the OP mentioned has eaten into you. oloshi

There is no solution to not feeling tempted. If married people tell you the truth you will be very miserable about this topic. The problem starts with biology where its a fact that after 2-3 years max, a partner becomes less interesting with regards to intimacy. The drive to engage physically drops drastically and the body seeks a whole new experience. So couples survive in different ways by introducing one or two things here and there eg temporarry separation during official trips, changing locations of intimacy, getting more involved in a higher cause that leaves little time for other things, increased church or group participations etc. all these works and most times still fails FOR any member of the couple that still remains physically attractive or comes more frequently into tempting circumstances. I can tell you stories and stories and stories of couples that have cheated without their spouses suspicion uptil this day and maintain the outloook of a very successful marriage.
The cheating couple does not hate the partner almost in all cases, they just want a new thrill and unfortunately our black society teaches you to pretend even when you are dying. Among whites they call off the wedding and even remain friends afterwards in many cases. Al Gore divorced his wife of many years recently and they openly attributed the reason to loss of attraction - thats the whites for you. For us we will rather remain in that marriage then start to cheat at the back eternally

for those that married the people they love and not because of societal expectations, they can wait for eternity and their marriage will still be a very very happy union. Please lets all start getting above many of these shallow thinking that has held the black race backward. Your destiny in life is not tied to your children and you were not born to come and give birth to children. Thats not the reason why you were born. Children are okay and a good thing for many people, but dont forget many people have also died because of their children, many more are still dying so please dont forget that because as Nigerians we only look at the happy side of things since we are the happiest people on earth. Lokk for the reason why you were born, there are some reasons greater than having chidren-so many I can tell you. But please if you couldnt find any reason for your existence greater than giving birth to children then please go and get a child by all means and make yourself miserable until you have as many as you want. Infact some are even miserable now because they have only girls and no boys, hmmm, so please enjoy your ignorance

Sanusi is an islamist downed in the garb of a progressive. His dealings within CBN makes it very very clear that he pursues an agenda to further the interest of northerners. For the first time CBN now awards highly specialised contracts to handbag-carrying contractors that have no staff or credential. He also promotes northerners aboVe others unjustifiably

Balkan: Military intervation will be the only option to wipe out this criminal from the surface of the earth.

This democracy is not working. We have lost respect all over the world, that's why a country like Bostwana will deport Nigeria from their country.

We should change this name.

Democracy is too advanced for a society full of illiterates and savages like our's. The only problem with the military is that they might also get corrupted after getting there. I think the situation is just hopeless. The only way out is if all of us will agree and begin to call corrupt people thieves in the public, in the church, at mosque, at the market, on television and everywhere. That's the only way

lat4real: Proud to be a muslim.

Of course, better a murderer and terrorist than all these stewpid people with private jets. Am with you mr fundamentalist.

Its not your fault, christians are the best at blasting each other in front of the world, you muslims know better, you defend yourself no matter how wrong and evil you are. Despite being the world champion at mass murdering and chaos you can see how all of you instinctively still refer to your cult as 'a religion of peace'. Am actually proud of you too

solomon111: why should we copy democracy from the US?
Is democracy the only system of govt?
How many truely democratic countries do we have in the world?
How has the little democracy,we have practiced,help us?
A country like Nigeria would do well,without a democratic system of govt.
Democracy is overrated,and should be done away it.
It is not for every country in the world,and especially not for developing countries.
Communism in the hands of brave and upright leaders is the best way to go,if we want rapid growth and devt.

Thank you for the intelligent assessment of democracy. Just to add to your point. Unfortunately in a democracy, the vote of a well-reasoned profeesor is the same as that of a thoughtless garage tout so in community of 2 touts and 1 professor, the touts win and rule which is exactly what we have in nigeria now. Have u not observed that most of your former school mates who never sat down to read their book are the current rulers? So is it a wonder that our country is going nowhere?

REALITY101: Electioneering my ass! Congrats knocking on em ghetto hood doors and lucky enough your ass didn't get shot. This is the time I wish I live in d hood. Btw you might need to get a few bucks from the food stamp president to put this shit of yours into audio cuz its only a Obama supporter could have time to read it thru.

If I had a cane I would wear it out on your goat head

slimchi2k2: my ex used to help my mummy always there for her,i thought i will never say hi to her again,but since she can stil help my mum,

Am proud of u and greatly pleased to be reminded that civilised and eblightened pple still exist in this jungle called the federal republic of nigeria

Please we christians should put a stop to this public discussion of our faith, have you people ever seen any muslim discussing whatever they are doing wrongly here on nairaland? No wonder christians get bombed and killed, we want to show we are liberal and civilised among primitive people abi? Please moderator off this thread otherwise some christians will take it personal like their brothers use to do.

Thanks OP for bringing it down to the Nigerian food level for the first time, thanks greatly

[quote author=Red-Light]are ur leaders not maltreating u? are the rulers not the same set of people that sold u out to the chinkos.... blame ur rulers...if chinko leaders had sold chinko peoples dignity to americans ... do u think americans wont do far worse? fhuck our leaders rulers[/quote

Point of correction - americans and infact westerners don't treat people like slaves. I don't know how many times one has to explain this to black africans. Have you worked for an american before? Do you know anybody that works in USIS, USAID, DFID, US Embassy, British Council? Have you? So because our daft intellectuals sing about western oPpression you think they know what they are saying? So you think because you have oil then the west needs you to survive? Who told you what oil is in the first place? Do you know the cause of the 1860 american civil war? Do you know who whites were killing whites to free? Fast forward to 1960s during Luther Kings marches, do you see the color of some of his protectors? They were whites! Many whites marched with Luther King go check your history. Please don't ever compare westerners and the selfish chinese. Thank God china is now a superpower stretching her influence globally, we will now have something to compare 'western oppression'with

post.email:
You are just one of those apologist that makes me sick with disgust. How could you defend her? She's part of a corrupt ruling class that are bent on destroying whats left of this country

Am not her tribe, not from her state, never been her neighbor or friend, infact I have only seen her once in my life and she was walking into the lift on the ground floor of her office carrying her handbag by herself - that was what actually caught my eye. I know how many people are hired to carry the bag of DGs but here was this woman carrying her own bag which she does up to this day. S
o please stop talking what you know nothing about. I wish her many many more years to come, she will not die and she will succeed in restructuring that crap called SEC

mko abiola: On point
Well said.
Bt y did u dump virgins
Does it mean u can't marry a virgin?
Bt dere's nothing lik tear rubber.

If u engage in intimacy for the fun, virgins will definitely disappoint you. But if you in it to trip your ego and feel good about your superman status then go for virgins and please shut up about your disappointment after it. At my age I know am not a superman but just a member of the human family so I don't need any ego trips and I have nothing to prove by running after one clueless virgin or the other.

WhyAWhy: With all said, I will still take a BRAND NEW over TOKUNBO!

I know you either a teenager or in ur early ignorant twenties. What of requiring the man to be brand new too?

shymexx: More like; ready to die for your thieving ways..

Pls don't insult people just because NL is anonymous. What do you mean by thieving ways? That woman has not stolen a dime in SEC, if she did she would have been out with all the hatred borne her by the real thieves at national assembly. in 2011 SEC under Oteh spent N1.2billion on ICT infrastructure turnaround and ALL the companies that won jobs all won on merit! I also have it on authority none of them could go near her to say 'thank you'. I dare you to refute this so that I can lambast you with more details. Please stop insulting people who are doing the right thing even if they have some personality issues, focus on what their assignment is and whether they are meeting it. Oteh was a vice president at ADB before coming to nigeria, go and ask what her annual package is? Aside ADB staff have diplomatic status incase your ignorant self is unaware. She was already very very successful before coming back to this crap country

ogayor: I'm fortunate to know a number of remarkably successful people. I've described how these people share a set of specific perspectives and beliefs.

They also share a number of habits:

1. They don't create back-up plans.

Back-up plans can help you sleep easier at night. Back-up plans can also create an easy out when times get tough.

You'll work a lot harder and a lot longer if your primary plan simply has to work because there is no other option. Total commitment--without a safety net--will spur you to work harder than you ever imagined possible.

If somehow the worst does happen (and the "worst" is never as bad as you think) trust that you will find a way to rebound. As long as you keep working hard and keep learning from your mistakes, you always will.

2. They do the work...

You can be good with a little effort. You can be really good with a little more effort.

But you can't be great--at anything--unless you put in an incredible amount of focused effort.

Scratch the surface of any person with rare skills and you'll find a person who has put thousands of hours of effort into developing those skills.

There are no shortcuts. There are no overnight successes. Everyone has heard about the 10,000 hours principle but no one follows it... except remarkably successful people.

So start doing the work now. Time is wasting.

3. ...and they work a lot more.

Forget the Sheryl Sandberg "I leave every day at 5:30" stories. I'm sure she does. But she's not you.

Every extremely successful entrepreneur I know (personally) works more hours than the average person--a lot more. They have long lists of things they want to get done. So they have to put in lots of time.

Better yet, they want to put in lots of time.

If you don't embrace a workload others would consider crazy then your goal doesn't mean that much to you--or it's not particularly difficult to achieve. Either way you won't be remarkably successful.

4. They avoid the crowds.

Conventional wisdom yields conventional results. Joining the crowd--no matter how trendy the crowd or "hot" the opportunity--is a recipe for mediocrity.

Remarkably successful people habitually do what other people won't do. They go where others won't go because there's a lot less competition and a much greater chance for success.

5. They start at the end...

Average success is often based on setting average goals.

Decide what you really want: to be the best, the fastest, the cheapest, the biggest, whatever. Aim for the ultimate. Decide where you want to end up. That is your goal.

Then you can work backwards and lay out every step along the way.

Never start small where goals are concerned. You'll make better decisions--and find it much easier to work a lot harder--when your ultimate goal is ultimate success.

6. ... and they don't stop there.

Achieving a goal--no matter how huge--isn't the finish line for highly successful people. Achieving one huge goal just creates a launching pad for achieving another huge goal.

Maybe you want to create a $100 million business; once you do you can leverage your contacts and influence to create a charitable foundation for a cause you believe in. Then your business and humanitarian success can create a platform for speaking, writing, and thought leadership. Then...

The process of becoming remarkably successful in one field will give you the skills and network to be remarkably successful in many other fields.

Remarkably successful people don't try to win just one race. They expect and plan to win a number of subsequent races.

7. They sell.

I once asked a number of business owners and CEOs to name the one skill they felt contributed the most to their success. Each said the ability to sell.

Keep in mind selling isn't manipulating, pressuring, or cajoling. Selling is explaining the logic and benefits of a decision or position. Selling is convincing other people to work with you. Selling is overcoming objections and roadblocks.

Selling is the foundation of business and personal success: knowing how to negotiate, to deal with "no," to maintain confidence and self-esteem in the face of rejection, to communicate effectively with a wide range of people, to build long-term relationships...

When you truly believe in your idea, or your company, or yourself then you don't need to have a huge ego or a huge personality. You don't need to "sell."

You just need to communicate.

8. They are never too proud.

To admit they made a mistake. To say they are sorry. To have big dreams. To admit they owe their success to others. To poke fun at themselves. To ask for help.

To fail.

And to try again.

For once something very practical, thank you

blogger1.0:
Calm down joor! Man has to keep body and soul together na.
The fact that nature has a way of shoveling sh1t in my face each time i set out to find someone good for myself doesn't mean i wouldn't find a way out.
But on a more serious note, finding a virgin woman 4 wife material is like waiting for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Why?

You started the thread like an adult then you just messed it up with this childish last line. What is it about this issue of virgins by the way? Have you tried been intimate with a virgin before? Do u know how messy attempting that is? Have u thought of seeing blood during intimacy before? Have you really talked with anyone that has been through it before? Its a very very messy job and no matured and experiences person will even think of it. Please stop talking about virgins because you see a lot of ignorant people talking about them. Most virgins are even very clumpsy due to their inexperience and could really disgust you. For your info I have dumped 2 ladies becos they are virgins. If you are not a virgin so why do you expect the woman to be? You see why women need liberation?

nku5: Osuji is a reject and sociopath. Naturally he wll be appreciated by the enemy.

Mr. Ozodi Thomas Osuji wrote an article titled “False Sense of Victimization in Achebe’s Worldview”, which was published on the Nigerian Internet portal Nigeriavillagesquare.com. This article dated 15th October 2008, was a supposed response to Achebe’s Lecture marking the Guardian Silver Jubilee at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs in Lagos; in which the legend recapitulated his relationship with Nigeria. Osuji’s pedestrian attempts to contribute a voice to such a discourse would have been wonderful if its contributions were an intelligent analysis or a logical and factual rebuttal of Achebe’s position. But Osuji on the contrary achieved only a wooden advertisement of his schizophrenia. What that piece lacked in merits, it made up for with a mishmash of cheap innuendoes, false scholarship, self-loathing and a pathological attempt to throw Lilliputian darts at the tallest African in the house of literature. The pseudo-intellectual diarrhoea, which he dumped on those pages, was a lewd masturbation to assuage his psychological priapism. And from this psychological imbalance, no one can save him and his heritage of stupidity.

It has long been a personal principle never to dignify fools like Osuji with an essay-length rebuttal. This lies in the fact that there is no need joining issues with the ranting of depraved scoundrels, who, as congenital attention-starved underachievers are pathologically allergic to the achievements of genius resident in others. My stand here equally flows from some many veritable reasons. First and foremost, the truth will never convince a mind impervious to reason, or one in the thralls of intellectual leprosy, like Osuji’s. Secondly, I have forever found other preoccupations pertinent than to treasure the irreverent conversations of this fool. This is a man, who was quite early introduced to his own insignificance, than he graduated into an underachiever per excellence. This is a mentally deformed man, with nothing more than a subsisting inferiority complex. The stupidity, with which he was favoured by nature, makes him think highly of his congenital allergy to reason. He thinks highly of his monumental indisposition and pathological rejection of his intellectual superiors. This guy is neither sensible nor agreeable. His society is irksome, and his occupations senile.

But responding to his latest gaffe became necessary because few simpletons have cut so an unglamorous a figure in their notorious tendency to capture falsehoods from the jaws of truth, like Osuji has grown adept at doing. I am responding to Osuji’s latest celebration of ignorance also because of the fact that I nurse a derisive disrespect for pretentiousness. And the more he pretended to scholarship; the more his disabilities annoy and amply misinform other closet idiots of his ilk, who are wont to cheerlead his madness, or run the risk of running with the diet of falsehoods, which generate the kind of intellectual constipation required to smear a giant like Achebe. Suffice it to note that as there exists always an eager cast of spectators and captive audience for any dressing-up game or idiotic presentation, there is equally an appreciative audience for any doggerel performance, where an idiot chooses to show his undeodorized anus in broad public view.

We are finally called upon to battle a mad man because of the danger he poses to the unwary. His mismanagement of his diseased mind, and the toxic falsehoods generated therefrom, runs the risk of corrupting public place with the malodorous lies. The silence of men of conviction seems to have empowered the audacious impunity of Osuji’s madness. The stream of outrageously nonsensical spoofs oozing from his sick head would have been taken as some soft porn for the lewd minds, who masturbate at his pseudo-intellectual obscenities, save for the fact that the unenlightened Nigerian accidents resident in his worldview, take his logical obscenities as kosher for their mental instabilities. What Ozodi Osuji lacked in taste and polish, he made up for in ignorance and envious denigration of others. That is why we have decided to give him a rejoinder.

Igbos always disappoint unfailingly. From the english you speak you aPpear educated but see how unobjective you are? I realised that igbos are the only tribe in nig where an educated person and an illiterate have no difference in thinking. So all the truths told by your brother osuji has not raised a soul search in you? You will rather pelt him with stones? Very disappointing

Andre Uweh: @topic, as you know, Dr Osuji is a mad man and no one ever takes him serious.
On ageing writers are generally expected to write autobiographies that sum up their writing carrers. The shameless maggot called Ozodi should know that there is nothing wrong in one publishing his memoirs at whatever age. Ozodi the ape was in the war, and has not yet published his own memoirs. What a hypocrite.
On Achebe been a historian, Prof Achebe did not take that credit and has never done so. You do not need to be a trained historian to publish a book of notes you jotted down during a war. Most people who have written about the war were not historians e.g Madiebo, Obasanjo, Amadi etc.
On verification. Achebe's facts are verifiabe as he used footnotes and at the end of the book, listed all his references. It seems the Chimpazee called Osuji read the book turned upside down.
Ozodi's attempt at history is flawed as always, he claimed that Achebe was born around the time the British were penetrating AlaIgbo. Wrong, for more than 40 years before Achebe's birth, The British have penetrated Alaigbo through companies, protectorate and later formal colonialism. Ozodi, should go into history as it's not his field.
Contrary to Osuji's article, Prof Achebe did not see the actions of Igbo people right and others wrong. Prof Achebe on many ocassions condenmed the actions of his own people. Prof Achebe even cited Uwechue's reasons for resignation as an envoy and supportd his claims. Am sure Ozodi did not see that page.
On Ministry of information, Achebe left the ministry long ago to serve as an envoy, as a result was not i nvolved in any Biafran propaganda.
On writers formulating policies for Ojukwu. Ozodi was wrong, Ojukwu wanted a philosophy in line with Nyerere's Arusha declaration, so he gathered intellectuals in Biafra to formulate that policy which later became Ahiara declaration. Surely, Ozodi hasn't read the Ahiara declaration document.
On recruitment into the Biafran army, Prof Achebe was not responsible for that. Most people recruited to join the Biafran army were from 18 years and above. Those who were sent to the war front were from18 years and above. The young Biafrans who were less than 18 were not involved in the war. Ozodimgba the ape couldn't have joined the army at 14 and fought in the war. Surely, he is false about his age.
On corrution, Achebe did not single the Igbo people as less corrupt from others. He even saw an Hausa man as less corrupt than his own southern Nigerian people. So he joined Aminu Kano's party for this reason and others.
Ozodi should have querried the Indian defeat in the hands of Britain. India with a population almost twice of Africa were defeated by the Brits and compared to the Igbo defeat by the Brits.
On the Igbo, Yoruba etc, Prof Achebe at no time said Igbo students or civil servants did better than others. Achebe studied at U.I, and has praises for non Igbo people who excelled in U.I. Prof Achebe does not hate Yorubas and throught his memoirs poured encomiums on Yorubas such as Soyinka, Amos Tutuola, Hubert Ogunde etc. What is Osuji insunuating?.
As usual, people will always poopoo on Osuji's article. Shameless man.

You are full of crap, crap and more crap. Osuji is the first de-tribalised and civilised igbo I have encountered. I have often wondered why igbos are so intellectually backward yet with overblown ego, I realised its only igbos that can travel to a developed country, school and work there for 20yrs and yet are able to come home to their village to marry a local girl and still be able to relate with her and her. It simply shows how undeveloped the igbo mind can remain even in an intellectually
Fertile environment. Mr osuji please be assured you have my full respects and please continue to be yourself as the truth will always eventually drown lies

Usama binYamiri: What happens after Nigeria becomes an Islamic State?
If it will stop all the thieving and turn Nigeria into Dubai or Indonesia- I say go right ahead BOKO HARAM.

Western ways are making Nigerians discard our moral compass!

So there are no corruption in iran, bahrain, syria? etc. And those societies are anti-western? So what happened? You must be a certified mor.on. So you think there is no corruption under islam? its clear that the only difference is that under an isamic law even when you suffer corruption you can't talk about it otherwise you be beheaded, in western countries, nobody fears to cry out. Its just like when our men here claim to be more morally upright, I use to laugh becos I see we just take advantage of the fact that westerners talk too much, there is nothing they are doing there that compares to the wickedness here. But here we don't talk about it, even when you catch a man on top of another man's wife he will say it was caused by his enemies. For westerners he will not only admit it, he might even write a book about it some years later. So my friend that is the difference. Incase you don't know it will amaze u how many nigerian men are homos.exuaals YET the same people will condemn it vehemently in senate. My contractor friend in abuja nearly got his arse drilled by a group of high-profile politicians who promised him contracts. So pls drop that outdated thinking. A society must remain secular and that is the point islam continues to miss

musKeeto: but these allah and yahweh slaves( has boko haram done any bombing today, today's TGIS - Thank God It's Sunday, let's go bomb a church).... won't see beyond that.. amazing..
Powerless Yahweh, unable to protect his church from explosives.. lol
Peaceful Allah - unable to stop violent folks bombing in his name..

A very big point, very very big. These religions ........

floriana: VDJ very dry joke. For the first time, I wonder why this made front page.

Go and sit down, its about the best joke since independence

Koolking: I am spell-bound and totally embarrassed by comments on this thread. This was a simple non-bigotry thread meant to informed and as well educate the wise.

I must say, I am stomped by some comments eliciting tribal jingoism. It is no longer a question of NLers being educated. We are averagely educated here going by our opinions on national issues. but the question now is: Are we actually going to live as one in this polity or entity called Nigeria? I doubt if this will ever happen. Some Nigerians are absolute tribal fanatics; no matter what, you cannot change this destructive trait from them.

We need spiritual and attitudinal cleansing to be able to live as one in this country.

May God help us.

As much as we assume been civilized means not saying some things even when they are obvious, I still think that if the state of origin and even LGA of all criminals both here and abroad are published monthly by our sleeping anti-corruption agencies then that will go a long way to shame the cultures of certain tribes that either knowingly or unknowingly encourage such. I think this is a very good suggestion.

dadicvila: atyms lets get real,when security agents risk their lives to confront all these monsters that have vowed nöt to let us sleep at night, they should be commended and praised,armed robbery and kidnapping everywhere,people are getting killed every minute,should security agents fold their arms and watch??the way people support criminals on nairaland is alarming,am beginning to suspect that there are lots of them here....i say kill them all,if they kant get a job and choose to rob and kidnap innocent Nigerians,track them down to their hideouts and spray them hot lead,our prisons are filled up already...no time

Thank you, indeed there are many robbers on nairaland. So someone shooting at JTF is expected to be arrested with bare hands before JTF can be applauded? One other mor.on even said 14 nigerians should not be killed to free a turk? What a pity! So a nigerian that kills, maim and rape is better than a turk? Am ashamed of this creature been a nigerian
