israel ben-zion
Many Christians don't see it that way. The only reason I fear death is because I feel I hv not made my way straight wit God. Once I do, why wud I fear death wen it wil even be a shortcut to glory? Do u knw what honour I will hv in heaven for dying as a martyr?

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.
They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"
Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.

Revelation 6:9 - 11 (NIV)

A sharia court sitting at Unguwar Gwaza in Gusau metropolis of Zamfara State has banished one Jaafar Ibra-him of College of Education, Sokoto, to Kaduna, for camping his girlfriend without the consent of her parents.

When the case came up for hearing, her 70-year-old father told the court that his daughter was missing from his house since the Eid-el-fitr celebration.

According to him, when the family set up a search team, it was discovered that her boyfriend had camped her in a secluded house.

"We sent emissaries to the teenager to appeal to him to release my daughter but to no avail," he said.

The father told the court that his daughter had a suitor who had paid her dowry, saying that "her wedding is just around the corner. Honestly speaking, we were ashamed of what we are going to tell him."

Testifying before the court, the embattled teenager told the court that he decided to keep his girlfriend because she told him that her parents wanted to marry her off to a man she did not love.

In his ruling, the presiding judge said having heard from the plaintiff and defendant, the court had no option but to banish the accused to a place of his choice, Kaduna.

The judge also ruled that the girl should remain indoors till when she would find a husband, while she was also banned from using handsets.

By Syed Zubair Ahmad,

Those who support unchecked freedom of expression and insult or abuse in the name of freedom of speech should be treated in kind. They should be asked: If someone tells you ‘your mother was a prostitue and your father was a love-vendor’ how would you react? I am sure not even the most polite person on this planet will respond by saying: ‘Sir, please don’t say to me like this, it’s very impolite and indecent to say like this because I belong to a very respected family, so I would request you very humbly to avoid such language for me otherwise I will report this to police or take this matter to court and sue against you’. Rather, being decent and a well behaved person he may never abuse in response to the abusive language, but he will indeed slap the abuser on his face.

Muslims never insulted Jesus, Moses or Ram in the past, Never will in future Forget about the latest 13-minute video trailer on YouTube which was made by some bankrupts like Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in America. Let such people make one hundred films like ‘Innocence of Muslims’ not a single Muslim will ever make a film insulting Jesus (peace be upon him) or Christianity. Let Salman Rushdie write 100 Satanic Verses, be sure not a single Muslim from the entire Muslim world will ever think to abuse or insult Jesus and Merry (pbuh). Let Jyllands-Posten publish thousands of cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist, I can assure you that not a single Muslim from one billion population will ever make a single cartoon ridiculing Jesus (pbuh). Did a single Muslim in the entire history even insult any religious personality or religious books of Jews, Christianity or Hinduism? Never. Because Muslims believe that Moses and Jesus were the prophets and messengers of God, and maybe some Hindu ‘gods’ were actually prophets, so they give the same respect to them like the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The only difference is the Muslims follow only Muhammad (pbuh) because his teachings are in original forms. Muslims all over the world believe that Torah, Bible and Vedas all are divine scriptures so they respect all holy scriptures, but they follow only Holy Quran because it’s only divine book which is available in its original form undoubtedly. This is the greatness of the religion called Islam. In this way Islam unifies all religions of the world.

Mindless violence in the name of protests There are black sheep in every religion. There are mindless stupid followers of every religion. The killing of ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in the Libyan city of Benghazi is as mindless and condemnable as the blasphemous film “The innocence of Muslims’ and its maker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.

Hypocrisy of the West The problem is not just the film, the problem is the hypocrisy and dual standard of western world especially America. They want others to keep in limit but themselves they cross all limits. They forget the famous quote of Martin Luther King Jr “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. They do violent acts but preach others to be peaceful and calm. They stockpile nuclear arms but do not allow others to produce even nuclear energy. The whole world seems to be falling on the killings of four innocent American diplomats but no cries when every day innocent kids and women are being killed by American drones in Afghanistan. The hypocrisy of those so called champions of freedom of speech can be seen in their dealing with Julian Assange who is still hiding in the embassy of Ecuador in London.

Genesis of hate of Jews and Christians for Prophet Muhammad The genesis of hate of Jews and Christians for the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is his birth in the family of Prophet Ismail, not in the family of Prophet Ishaque. Prophets Moses and Jesus (pbuh) were from the family of Ishaque, and so Jews and Christians were expecting that the last prophet of God (about whom both Torah and Bible had given details) will be born in the family of their prophets. It is written in history books that in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, Jews and Christians had expressed their feelings which they later converted in enmity with Muslims and Islam.

In last 1400 years (Prophet Muhammad was born in 571 AD), thousands of books have been written in the west to malign the character of the last Prophet of God Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Their main target is the character assassination of the Prophet in order to distort Islam. They have distorted their own religion in a way that now Christians make films depicting Virgin Marry (pbuh) as prostitute and Jesus (pbuh) as a gay (God forbid) and the whole Christian world enjoy such things in the name of freedom of expression shamefully. But Muslims can’t tolerate this at any cost, because they respect Prophet more than their life and this is the feeling of Muslims which Christian world fails to understand. They hate Prophet Muhammad because they do not respect Prophets Moses and Jesus. They hate Quran because they don’t have original Bible and Torah.

Every religion including Islam has some mindless followers There are two tyhpes of people in the Christian world, one belong to the category of mindless idiots like Nakoula Basseley Nakoula who insults the great Prophet like Muhammad (pbuh), the other belong to the category of Michael H. Hart, who in his famous book The Hundred: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, put Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) on top of the list and declared the prophet as the most influential person of human history. In his book Hart asserted that Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms.

There are two types of people in the Muslim world too. There are those who killed innocent American diplomats in Benghazi in response to the blasphemous film, who had nothing to do with the idiotic film. There are others who started distributing books about the life of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It’s said "Problems are opportunities in disguise". The problem created by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula could be the best opportunity to enlighten people with the life and character of the last Prophet of God Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

In Islam debate and dissuasion are always welcome, healthy criticism is always entertained. Thousands of books have been written by orientalists criticising many teachings of Islam but there were no protests by Muslims. But they are not ready to accept abusive language about the Prophet with ill intention. Those who want war between religions and civilizations must be brought to justice otherwise the entire humanity will become vulnerable to their assault one day.

Aha! Think I have gotten a credible contender for funniest thread. Funny enough, most of the posts in the thread were not intended to be funny. It started with a statement that NL was finished. Before long, it degenerated into trading of insults mainly between two belligerents. Their 'creativity' made me realise that even trading insults requires some degree of talent.

In the name of Allah, the merciful, the beneficent....

alaoeri: But to be sincere why are non muslim producing such thing to intimidate muslims, this ain't the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time & they know what its all result to. Unlike xtians, muslims doesn't like someone mocking their religion then why not desist from the act for peace to reign.

If so, they should do unto others as they want others to do them. BTW Islam drew the first blood by denigrating the basis of the doctrines of Christianity in the Qu'ran. Just refuting these claims alone would look like an attack on the tenets of Islam.

Meanwhile, does it mean that the tariffs of the 'old' MTN packages have been reduced? Because I know Super Saver goes for 17k/s on net and 35k/s off net after the first minute.

The NPF may not meet the expectations of many haters here. What matters most is that it has been commended by those who matter - and not the many haters and nonentities who spew forth their bellyaching anonymously. BTW not all my encounters with the NPF were memorable but least we could do is to give the devil his due.

Why not make them beautiful since you seem to have the power.

@Betathings & Caseless,

History is there for anyone to study if he so wishes. We are more interested in things affecting 9ja than elsewhere. Generally speaking, muslims of northern extraction have over time proven to be more of a liability than asset to 9ja.

[quote author=Akpu.Nku]what did he do wrong ? just asking[/quote]June 12.

4 Play: They are creating more Boko Haram sympathisers with their hare-brained military tactics of punishing the civilian populace. This is not the Biafra era. In the post-cold war era, it's hard to wage a military campaign successfully that depends heavily on atrocities against civilians.

In the end, they will have to negotiate with the more moderate elements of Boko Haram to end this and hope that the more hardcore elements are isolated until they're defeated. Attacking innocent civilians only serves as a recruitment tool, that's how we got here in the first place.

False logic bro. Did you mention 'BH' and 'moderate' in one sentence? The BH guys are living in the midst of the so-called innocent civilians. Let the 'innocent' civilians choose between the devil and the deep sea. The JTF is there for a purpose and would remain there until the purpose is achieved or when the situation becomes untenable (God forbid).

Fozzie Bear: Nice one. Fashola no be muslim?

To some blokes in the north, no, nein, rara, nahi, non, a'a...
1. Yoruba
2. Catholic wife
3. Pentecostal children

It is the rule rather than exception to hear such teachings in the north during Ramadan. More of political discussion than teaching piety. This man's own is even mild. The problem of the 'North' is its elite that perpetually wants the masses to remain ignorant and docile in order to be easily manipulated.

wandeay: how i wish we are stil under british by now, am sure they wont enslave us abnomally as our so-called leaders are doing us today

Which British? Not the ones on planet earth I guess.

Hakim27: I have never asked one out to begin with, its their attitude towards bantu people, they say they only date within themselves...

Could you first give it a try rather than acting on hearsays? It is different strokes for different folks.

flymyq: Nigeria is neva a Nation! Check the map very well what the lord as seperated(northern ‎​And southern protectorate) let no man(lugard) join it together....

So you want us to believe that the mosaic of Igbos, Ijaws, Efiks, Yorubas etc in the case of the Southern Protectorate was the Lord's and not man's (British to be precise) doing?

If you are referring to the Chinese, you must be sitting on a long thing.

Claumy2: Ok. Now. But would that help to reduce or stop BH from bombing

Don't think so but I have a dream that that your post would settle the BH issue. BTW, Just saw it on CCTV's 'Africa Live'. The mobile device had 'Startimes' on it as brand name.

It's like BH is telling the NSA, "In your face, man."

Funny enough, Sokoto exported Kabiru Sokoto. Seems Kabiru's colleagues are returning home.

Castos: Soon Biafra will surface. Igbo kwenu! As for Hausa's kudos with their madness

Even the founder of Biafra died a Nigerian.

okosodo: people that ran away from boko haram

Well done Braveheart! We saw you tackling BH alone. No wonder you made your statement with such authority.

manmustwac: Can't anybody post the youtube video here of Mister Bean at the olympics for those missed it to watch?

The article seems evasive, vague and full of insinuations and conjectures. The reader is left to interprete it according to his proclivities. No mention of a communique is made while all the sources are anonymous.

But there is no reason to lose one's cool. I have not forgotten how prior to the 2011 elections, Ciroma and his cohorts went a-searching for a consensus northern presidential candidate. With the benefit of hindsight, they could have as well gone to sleep. In 2015 what will be, will be.

By the way, wasn't there widespread disapproval of the single 7-year tenure when GEJ muted the idea? Why is the author then making the opposition to the idea seem like an NGF affair?

Kobojunkie: Notice how instead of this one attacking the message, he feels insulting the man for having an opinion makes him better.

Imagine if such a fellow at the mercy of impulse should become president...

Black SA fall my hand. If na to pursue foreigners, dem for display their talent. Mzansi 4 sure. . .

mrkels: Why am I not suprised...there was a movie that came out last month in the US with exactly the same EMO...this guys watch that film and decided to make it real...what's the title again self? Something America...ok ''GOD BLESS AMERICA'''

Same thought crossed my mind as soon as I heard the news. The similarities with the film are too many to be coincidental. While striving for development, I hope we will not become so advanced as to lose our humanity. Sadly, such seems to be the case with Uncle Sam.

Watched a news item in which the husband secretly harboured doubts about his daughter's paternity. DNA test confirmed his fears. He confronted his wife who denied infidelity. DNA test showed she wasn't the mother either. Investigation at the hospital where the girl was born revealed that she was wrongly tagged. Her real parents were traced and they too were surprised to learn that they had been raising the mentioned couple's child all this while. . . .

So, if the DNA test disproves paternity, the child's maternity should also be tested.

@Koruji
I feel you . . .

@Lacasa
Who would take Abacha's love-vendor's words seriously?

[quote author=190_@]Please where is Edo state found in Nigeria[/quote]Near Italy?

diluminati: this doesnt rub off the fact that GEJ IS A FAILURE

Compared to who? Shagari? OBJ? UMYA?

Funny enough, it seemed as if the incumbent's time was up judging from PDP's stance and output from the press and media. In the end the credible candidate (to most of the voters) won. So shall it be in 2015 - rigging factor excluded.
