the agulu man will always beat agbero chairman in any free and fair election.you know agbero chairman is always snatching, grabbing and running away with what is not his

Oh...the last election was "not free and fair",right? Okay,that's right. Now,what makes you think the next one will be fair? Lol,any election that you guy lose is always "not free and fair"! Anyway,you better start krrrying in earnest for your Agulu man 'cause the coming election won't be "free and fair" too — bunch of sore luuzers!

AK481:
Someone approved this book in lagos .

Who?

What if it was approved in Lagos? The Lagos State Ministry of Education, among other things, has the prerogative to promote Yoruba culture in the state. How on earth is that a sin or an anomaly—especially when Lagos State is a Yorubaland? Would you have preferred that Lagos promote Igbo culture instead? This is funny—what won’t we read here!

doncartel:
We Igbos are the Israel of Africa.

Yes o, nice one,"the Israel of Africa"! Lol,these people won't stop their foolery anytime soon!

BeardedMeat:
I understand what you are trying to do there but let me tell you categorical that the fear of Igbo domination haskept so many people awake, delirious and exhausted for centuries. Please take this message back to your people, their fear of domination not withstanding, Igbo man just wants to succeed in any environment he finds himself and they are succeeding both home and away regardless of any hostility.

Lol, domination indeed! Yes, we know exactly how you dominated the Ijaws, the Binis, the Itsekiris, and the Igalas in the olden days. Yes, we have read the history of your dominion over all of them! Yes, Igbo people are succeeding everywhere — yes, we know. From India to South Africa, from Ghana to Malaysia, from Singapore to Bangladesh, etc. — you guys are succeeding!
We also know how many Igbo men are listed on the Forbes billionaires list — yes, we know! Dangote, Adenuga, Rabiu, Otedola, Madam Alakija, etc., are all Igbos! Hmmmm… Igbo history — do you guys even want us to see it?!

Call me when we are all finally ready to deal with the question of Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria. The funniest thing is that the Fulani herder involved might not even be a Nigerian Fulani. It’s the audacity for me — one of the weakest groups on earth feeling stronger than anyone else in Nigeria!
Mr Buhari made sure they were effectively armed, and Mr Tinubu lacks the political will to disarm them. Like I said earlier, call me when we are all ready to deal with this situation once and for all.

Burob:
Where is the AK47?

He must be a supporter of Kwakwanso.

The man,with his AK47,is highlighted for you here.

You got all this for contributing what exactly to the development of Nigeria?! A classic example of why Nigeria is the way it is — unskilled and totally unproductive people are fraudulently positioned to milk the country dry. Here is a man who studied Islamic Sharia law — Nigeria is a crimescene!

ogolemati:
as the best between buharis twins (Lagos landlord A.K.A agbero chairman and Dubai lord) nigerians should have Peter obi as their president to recover from the damages buhari and his twin brother (Agbero chairman) has done to this nation

Don't worry nah,Nigerians are waiting for you guys to force your Agulu man on them!

delpee:
Now I'm wondering why Ondo State seems to be poor.

What gives you the impression that Ondo State is poor?

Love800:
Wow.

I appreciate.

The walnut you talked about, if you eat it during snake bite, you will not die?

It reduces the chances of death before proper medical treatment and care are received. However, a snakebite victim MUST still seek emergency medical attention.

As for me,because you asked, "I will not die but live, in Jesus’ name"— lol, that’s just on a lighter note, bro. Have a great day.

Islam is a global menace.

Jesus is God.

No oil in Yoruba land, maybe Palm oil

No be by cho-cho-cho; na to bring results! The combined oil output of Imo, Abia and Anambra States is only half of Ondo State’s oil output alone.

TOP OIL-PRODUCING STATES IN NIGERIA

1) Akwa Ibom: Produces 504,000 barrels per day, accounting for nearly a quarter of Nigeria's total oil output. The state has major offshore oil fields operated by ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies.

-2) Delta: Produces 346,000 barrels per day, with significant oil reserves and key industry players like Shell and Chevron.

3) Rivers: Produces 344,000 barrels per day, with a strong focus on oil exploration and refining. The state houses several refineries and oil servicing companies.

4) Bayelsa: Produces 290,000 barrels per day, with oil production mainly from deepwater fields like Bonga and Egina, operated by Shell and TotalEnergies.

5) Ondo: Produces 60,000 barrels per day, with offshore oil fields in the Ilaje area operated by Chevron and local companies.

6) Lagos: Produces 40,000 barrels per day, with the Aje Field offshore being a significant contributor.

7) Edo: Produces 33,000 barrels per day, with onshore oil fields in Oredo and offshore prospects.

Imo: Produces 17,000 barrels per day, with oil deposits in the Oguta and Egbema areas.

9) Abia: Produces 11,000 barrels per day, with oil production mainly from the Ukwa West fields.

10) Anambra: Produces 3,000 barrels per day, with significant potential for growth and exploration.

Love800:
Someone here mentioned cats. He said if you have cats at home, it will scare snakes away.

I don't think so. Cats do not repel snakes. They cannot smell or scare snakes away, and they are not naturally trained to detect or kill snakes safely. In fact, if a cat tries to attack a snake, it can easily be bitten and killed—especially if the snake is venomous.

Cats can only help indirectly by reducing what attracts snakes to human residential areas—rats. By killing rats, the chances of snakes entering residential areas, especially clean environments, are reduced.

In this life, always surround yourself with people who are well grounded in what they do. This is the bane of Governor Adeleke — he lacks smart, intelligent, astute, all-round technocrats and politicians around him. The APC members are simply too smart for him and his team in Osun State. They are always a step ahead of him. It would take only a miracle for him to secure a second term in office.
Right now, the APC leaders in Osun State have Governor Adeleke exactly where they want him.

And they wonder why nobody wants them around — shior!

Truly beautiful! God bless Nigeria.

Jerry2rule:
Eayah interesting. The way you used Jehovah for your opening prayer sound nice. Good bless you my good brother

Amen in Jesus name. Thank you, my brother. God bless you too.

Trump,what's going on? Speak to these monsters in the language they understand. You and Netanyahu are the only men who understand their language! Tinubu can't do anything — he is helpless!

Jerry2rule:
Brother are you JW?
😂😂 I like how you started your prayer......

Not a JW,but a child of God — a believer.

ogaontop:
May her soul find peace with the Lord!!

Can someone knowledgeable educate us on remedy for snake bite in matters like this to save life. Be it medically, scientifically, herbally, native ways or otherwise.
Thank you in advance!!!

Walnut — Plukenetia conophora (called awùsá in Yoruba) is believed to be a very effective anti-venom for all kinds of snakebites.

How to use it:

(1) A victim of a snakebite must eat half of one raw (uncooked) walnut seed immediately — within a few seconds of the bite.
It is not easy to eat an uncooked walnut, but the victim must eat it anyway.
It is believed to work by neutralising the venom in the bloodstream and greatly reducing the chances of death.
The victim should thereafter visit a hospital for proper medical follow-up.

(2) To eliminate snakes from your environment:

Grind some quantity of dried walnut into powder and sprinkle it around your premises.
Snakes will never visit your premises again. Even if they do, they will become paralysed and inactive.

(3) Eat a small bite of a raw walnut, and snakes will naturally run away from you.
You can repeat this every six months if you live in a snake-prone, bushy environment.

This is tested and trusted—believe me.
Do not thank me, but Jehovah.

Warning: Anyone bitten by a snake should seek emergency medical care immediately.

Jehovah will be with you in Madrid,Lookman,as He has always been. Go and make us proud, man! Naija loves you!

ALMUSTAQIM:
Assalaam Alaekum Wa Rrahmatullah Wa Barakatuh

*Inna Lillah Wa Inna Ilaehi Raajihuun*(*We belong to Allah; To Him is our Return*)

*Abdul Lateef (Latez) returned to Allah on Monday December 29, 2025 in a tragic accident, his best friend, Anthony Joshua , survived* 😢.

Abdul Lateef a.k.a. Healthy_Mindset was a remarkable individual whose life left a lasting impact on everyone around him. A proud Muslim revert, he dedicated himself to spreading the message of Islam through both words and actions, guiding others towards faith, including his best friend Anthony Joshua with sincerity and wisdom. Known for his generosity, he actively engaged in charity, helping those in need and inspiring others to do the same.

One of the most memorable moments of his influence was with Anthony Joshua, whom he guided in performing Salah and understanding the principles of Islam. His gentle and inspiring approach showed how faith could be beautifully integrated into daily life.

Healthy_Mindset’s legacy is one of compassion, guidance and unwavering commitment to Islam. His Philanthropic gestures cut across many African countries May Almighty Allah grant him Aljannah Firdaous and reward him abundantly for all his efforts. 😔🙏.

May the souls of all the departed continue to rest in Peace. Allahumma Ighfirillahu Warhamuhu (Ya Allah, Forgive them, Have Mercy on them).

We Pray Allah to Continue to Guard and Guide us Aright Protect us Have Mercy on us. Increase us in Knowledge Sustenance and Piety and Enable us become better MUSLIMS Better NIGERIANS.

Happy Jumaat, Happy Weekend, Happy New Year.

You know, it is not at all difficult to figure out your intent in this thread. You have only two messages to pass across:

To show that “Latez” was a Muslim.
To show that Anthony Joshua was embracing Islam through Latez’s efforts.

Now, the question is this: what do you honestly think this will profit Islam in the real sense, when you think about it? Do you think this information will make Christians or other non‑Muslims embrace Islam?
Anthony Joshua — or even Donald Trump — could decide to become a Muslim. How on earth does that change the Gospel, the everlasting truth and the words of Jehovah? When Jehovah says that He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy, do you think He is talking about material wealth? What mercy could be greater than knowing that Jesus is the Messiah, the Word of God, and God?
Man, even if the Pope decides to convert to Islam, it changes nothing — Jesus is God! I will not even debate this with you or anyone. It takes grace — a special anointing — to know this as a fact.

You see, when you start focusing on who has become a Muslim and who has not, it shows that there is something inside you that you constantly struggle with — a deep doubt about your faith. You need some form of validation to convince yourself that you are on the right path.

May the Truth find you, in the same way Jesus, the Truth, found me. By the way, I was once a Muslim.

Jeremiah 10:2 — Do Not Follow Signs of Heaven.

Leviticus 19:26 — Do Not Observe Times for Divination.

Deuteronomy 4:19 — Warning Against Celestial Worship.

In the Old Testament, many neighboring nations worshipped the sun, moon, and stars, or consulted them for divination and astrology. God repeatedly warns His people against these practices, because they shift trust from the Creator to created things. The biblical emphasis is clear: worship and guidance belong to God alone.

Anyone with discernment can see that this is precisely where the practice of looking to the moon for guidance—such as for determining Ramadan—originated. There is little doubt that Muhammad was influenced by what he heard from the Meccan Jews and Christians of his time, particularly Waraqah, his wife’s cousin, and even Khadijah, his wife.

In essence, Islam developed from the practices of the ancient pagan Arabs, refined and modified by elements from the Torah and the Injil.

Bigsin:
I see nothing wrong with that.

Yes,nothing is wrong with it.

Biodun556:
In the Quran, Allah instructed Maryam (Mary) to shake the trunk of a date palm tree so that fresh, ripe dates would fall for her to eat during the pains of childbirth (Surah Maryam, 19:25). This command was a miracle and a source of sustenance and comfort for her during a time of distress.

The Quranic Account
The verses in Surah Maryam (Chapter 19) describe Maryam withdrawing to a remote place where the pains of labor drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. In her distress, she cried, "Oh, if only I had died before this and was something forgotten and out of sight!".
A voice called out to her from below, reassuring her:

"Do not grieve! Your Lord has provided a stream at your feet. And shake the trunk of this palm tree towards you, it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease".


Lessons and Significance
This event is highlighted for several key lessons in Islam:
The Importance of Effort: Even in a miraculous situation, Allah commanded Maryam, who was weak and in labor, to make a physical effort to shake the tree. This teaches the value of putting in one's effort and taking the necessary means, rather than passively waiting for a miracle.

Divine Sustenance and Trust: Allah provided for Maryam in her time of need, demonstrating His mercy and that He will not abandon those who trust in Him.
Health Benefits of Dates: The instruction to eat fresh, ripe dates is seen as a divine confirmation of their nutritional value, especially for a woman who has just given birth. Dates contain easily absorbable sugars, vitamins, and minerals that help strengthen uterine muscles, aid in delivery, and prevent postpartum bleeding, which has been supported by modern medical studies.

This story never happened! It is unfortunate that you guys believe it. If this were true, the “People of the Book” —the Jews and the Christians —would have recorded it — but it was not recorded anywhere, except by a man who almost always had no witness.

History, Power, and the Roots of Suspicion

To understand why many Nigerian Christians despise Islam, we must strip away emotion and deal with history, power, and narrative control. This is not about every Christian, and it is not about theology alone. It is about how Islam has been framed, experienced, and politicized in Nigeria over time.

First, history. Islam entered what is now Nigeria centuries before Christianity, spreading through trade, scholarship, and governance across the Sahel and the Sokoto Caliphate. Christianity, on the other hand, arrived largely through European colonialism, backed by imperial power, Western education, and missionary institutions. This difference matters. Islam is often perceived by Nigerian Christians as an older rival civilization, not just another faith. It was already governing, judging, and shaping society before colonial rule restructured the region.

Second, colonial legacy and divide-and-rule politics. British colonial administrators deliberately deepened religious and regional divisions. The North was governed indirectly through Muslim emirs, while the South was heavily Christianized and Westernized. After independence, political competition hardened these divisions. Christianity became associated with “modernity,” “education,” and “global alignment,” while Islam was portrayed—often unfairly—as resistant, traditional, and authoritarian. These stereotypes were not accidental; they were cultivated.

Third, power anxiety. In Nigeria, religion is inseparable from politics. Many Christians fear Islam not because of doctrine, but because of demographics and influence. The North is largely Muslim and numerically significant. Whenever Muslims assert political relevance—through Sharia debates, northern leadership, or public Islamic identity, it triggers fear of domination. For many Christians, Islam is not just a belief system; it is seen as a political force that could limit their freedoms.

Fourth, missionary framing and pulpits. From churches, crusades, Christian radio, and social media, Islam is often taught not as a legitimate Abrahamic faith but as a threat. It is described as violent, expansionist, anti-freedom, and oppressive to women. These ideas are repeated so often that they become “common sense,” even among Christians who have never read the Qur’an or spoken to a knowledgeable Muslim. Fear is inherited, not investigated.

Fifth, global events projected locally. Terrorism carried out by groups claiming Islam such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram; has been used to define Islam itself. Nigerian Christians often collapse the actions of extremist groups into the faith of over a billion people, including their Muslim neighbors. Boko Haram, in particular, traumatized Christian communities in the North and Middle Belt. Instead of separating Islam from criminal insurgency (which mainstream Muslims also suffered from), many Christians fused the two permanently in their minds.

Finally, silence versus narrative dominance. Muslims in Nigeria have historically been less aggressive in media counter-narratives compared to evangelical Christianity. While churches actively preach against Islam, many Muslims assumed coexistence would speak for itself. It didn’t. In the absence of a strong Muslim narrative, caricatures filled the vacuum.

This is where the disdain begins: not from pure theology, but from history, fear, politics, and unchallenged stories.

Theology, Double Standards, and Manufactured Moral Superiority

Beyond history and politics, Nigerian Christian hostility toward Islam is fueled by theological polemics, often shallow, selective, and deeply inconsistent. The disdain intensifies when Christianity positions itself as morally superior while refusing the same scrutiny it directs at Islam.

First, selective outrage. Nigerian Christians frequently attack Islamic law (Sharia), portraying it as barbaric, cruel, and incompatible with human rights. They cite punishments, gender roles, or apostasy laws as proof that Islam is inherently violent. Yet the same critics ignore or excuse equally harsh laws and narratives in the Bible. Capital punishment, divine violence, slavery regulations, and patriarchal norms are all present in Biblical texts. The issue is not that Christians have scripture with difficult passages, it is that many refuse to acknowledge that every ancient scripture does. Islam is condemned for verses Christians explain away in their own book.

Second, the obsession with apostasy. One of the loudest accusations is, “Islam kills those who leave the faith.” This claim is repeated endlessly in Nigerian Christian spaces with little nuance. Classical Islamic jurisprudence discusses apostasy in the context of treason during wartime and not private belief change. Modern Muslim scholarship is far from monolithic on this issue. But nuance is irrelevant to critics. Ironically, Nigerian Christianity has its own violent history: forced conversions during colonial times, social ostracization of converts, and even mob violence against alleged “blasphemers” today. The difference is that Christian violence is labeled cultural or political, while Muslim violence is labeled religious.

Third, the weaponization of women’s issues. Nigerian Christians frequently frame Islam as uniquely oppressive to women, focusing on hijab, inheritance laws, or polygyny, while ignoring the agency of Muslim women themselves. They rarely ask Muslim women what they believe. Instead, they speak for them. Meanwhile, churches promote male headship, restrict women’s leadership, and normalize emotional and economic control in marriages. Islam is condemned for visible patriarchy, while Christian patriarchy is spiritualized and sanitized.

Fourth, ignorance masquerading as confidence. Many Nigerian Christians who “hate Islam” have never read the Qur’an, never studied Islamic theology, and cannot accurately explain basic Muslim beliefs. Muhammad ﷺ is routinely insulted using medieval European polemics recycled through modern sermons. Islam is described as a “false religion” without engagement with its intellectual tradition, ethical system, or historical achievements. This is not critique; it is indoctrination.

Fifth, the savior complex. Christianity in Nigeria often operates with a psychological hierarchy: Christians are “saved,” Muslims are “lost,” and Islam is an obstacle to God’s plan. This mindset produces contempt disguised as concern. When Muslims succeed politically, culturally, or intellectually, it is seen not as coexistence but as a threat to Christian destiny. Evangelism quietly mutates into rivalry.

Finally, refusal to self-reflect. Nigerian Christianity has internal crises; corruption, prosperity gospel excesses, moral scandals, and denominational chaos. Islam becomes a convenient external enemy that distracts from internal decay. Criticizing Islam is easier than reforming the church.

The result is not honest disagreement but hardened disdain. Islam is not engaged as a faith; it is reduced to a caricature that confirms Christian self-righteousness.

Fear, Identity Insecurity, and the Battle for Cultural Dominance

At its deepest level, Nigerian Christian hostility toward Islam is not sustained by history or theology alone. It is sustained by fear; fear of loss, fear of displacement, and fear of sharing Nigeria without dominance. Until this is acknowledged, the tension will never be honestly addressed.

First, identity insecurity. In Nigeria, religion is not merely belief; it is identity, tribe, culture, and social belonging. For many Christians, especially in the South and Middle Belt, Christianity is tied to education, global relevance, and post-colonial progress. Islam, by contrast, is imagined as a force that pulls society “backward.” This binary is emotionally comforting but intellectually lazy. When Muslims assert confidence in their faith publicly, through dress, prayer, or moral boundaries; it unsettles Christians who were taught that modernization would naturally marginalize Islam. The fact that it hasn’t creates anxiety.

Second, the fear of coexistence without control. Nigerian Christianity, particularly in its evangelical and Pentecostal expressions, is expansionist by nature. Growth is celebrated, dominance is spiritualized, and numerical strength is equated with divine favor. Islam does not play by the same performative rules. It grows quietly, sustains tradition, and resists dilution. This frustrates a Christian culture accustomed to converting, absorbing, and redefining religious space. What cannot be absorbed is often demonized.

Third, political competition masked as moral concern. Debates over Sharia, northern leadership, or Muslim public influence are rarely about justice alone. They are about who defines Nigeria’s moral compass. Many Christians claim to fear “Islamization,” yet openly support Christian symbols, prayers, and preferences in public institutions. Neutrality is demanded only when Muslims benefit. This double standard exposes the issue: the problem is not religion in politics, but which religion holds influence.

Fourth, trauma weaponized into permanent hostility. Violence in Nigeria; communal clashes, terrorism, insurgency, has deeply scarred Christian communities. That pain is absolutely real and should never be dismissed. But instead of channeling grief into accountability against specific criminals, it is often redirected toward Islam itself. An entire faith becomes guilty by association. This allows rage to feel righteous and prejudice to feel justified. Healing is replaced with blame.

Fifth, the echo chamber effect. Social media, WhatsApp groups, sermons, and Christian television recycle the same narratives daily: Islam is violent, Muslims are deceptive, coexistence is impossible. Any Muslim counter-argument is dismissed as “taqiyya” (often misunderstood and misused). Dialogue is treated as betrayal. In such an environment, despising Islam becomes not just acceptable, but virtuous.

Finally, the uncomfortable truth. Many Nigerian Christians do not merely dislike Islam, they resent its resilience. Despite centuries of opposition, colonial disruption, media hostility, and global demonization, Islam remains intellectually coherent, spiritually disciplined, and socially rooted. That endurance challenges the assumption that Christianity is Nigeria’s inevitable moral endgame.

This exposition is not a plea for sympathy, nor a denial of real tensions. It is a mirror. Disdain rooted in fear, double standards, and insecurity does not weaken Islam it corrodes coexistence.

Nigeria’s problem is not that Christians and Muslims disagree. It is that too many have decided the other must be diminished for themselves to feel secure.

Gibberish. Isn’t it funny that many of you Muslims still believe that, in this day and age, you can deceive people? Man, believe it or not, a house built on falsehood can never stand the test of truth, and it is only a matter of time before the house collapses. You may not care to know,but I must inform you that I actively practised Islam for well over forty years of my life. Halleluyah — The Truth eventually found me!

May I refer you to Sahih Muslim 146.

TechBaron:
This should be discussed in your Church's WhatsApp group.

I think the OP preferred a faceless platform like this one for anonymity. The church’s WhatsApp group would reveal his identity and expose his stance on the matter.

Another fine Yoruba baller!

It is not about the platform or political party for Obi to win; it is about who and what he represents — he is not desirable. Even if he contests on the platform of the Democratic or Republican Party in Nigeria, he can never win.
