Across Africa, Igbos constitute a significant number of foreigners in many African countries and they engage in legitimate businesses that contribute to the growth of these nations

Always remember nobody invited you, you went there to make profit, your going there benefits you. Don't let it go to your head, outgrow the need to shalaye. The only reason we talk in this is because everyone see us as Nigerians.

Why always the need to show off?

This comes from a place of inferiority complex, you people should grow up, develop your states, employ your people... people will hate you if you want to try to dominate them just because they gave you space. Think, and stop soiling our image everywhere.

I smell rat with the emergence of Mahmudah and Lakurawa terrorists operating in Kwara state.

Anywhere sharia is declared, jihadists see it as a home base. If you want anarchy and terrorists in your state, declare sharia.

I pity yoruba people, they placed a yoruba man as head of muric to deceive and manipulate you people, and he is doing his job.

The only book we are compelled and obliged to follow as citizens, is the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Stop all these nonsense of idolizing these perverted people.

Too much bragging and chochocho no good, inferiority complex is bad.

Sorry I did not elaborate more on Jihad. Its no everybody in Islam that is eligible to undertake it. It start from your heart, and that is where many are disqualified such that you are full of sins. Something I want to tell is that in Islam we mirror the life and deeds of Prophet Mohammad as role model for every muslim. Jihad is not about forcing others to convert to Islam because Prophet Muhammad has a non muslim neighbours and business collegues and never force anyone to convert. In fact many voluntarily converted because of his good deeds and examplary lifestle. He was once stoned and never call for revenge or war for it.
One the issue of Almajiris, there is diversion from the original aim and goals. The system was meant to train and discipline the children to withstand an inevitable hardship of life and learning Quaranic and Islamic teachings in the process. It has been around for centuries and many still believe it is relavant today but many dont

I don't care about your religion, man is born free, no man born of woman can tell another human how to live... nobody cares about how you feel, what you practice or whatever. Mind your business, if you people are looking for things to do due to idleness or overzealousness, feed your almajiris and empower them, all these false sense of importance must stop. Nobody or religion is superior to another!

The nation is above all religion, the nation's constitution is the only book we live by as a nation.

Fulanis fear OPC and Yoruba hunters more than anything.
I recall how a Fulani leader invited soldiers to flog Yorubas on Yoruba soil, next thing Yorubas did was to burn down his palace and chase him out of the State.

The hardest of men in Nigeria are Yorubas.. not sugar coating anything.
If we revive OPC today and dispatch them across Nigeria, believe you me, you won't hear of any Fulani massacres again. Next in line of gallantry are Nupes.

But you people are being sold out to the religion brought in by them, they will use this soft approach to conquer you slowly... Kwara now is now a den for religious extremists, different jihadists and extremists group coming up everyday, because of the sharia practice, they will feel it's a caliphate for them...a lot of Yorubas have denied their traditions for Arab cultures, even saying traditional ways are diabolical, this is conquest of the mind, the highest form of conquest. Your traditional spirituality is richer and realer than what you people are embracing that came from foreign lands, it's quite funny how you leave gold for copper.

Honestey:
Not to help the country forward? Well, this is a big lie because Tinubu wasn't working for Fulani when he was campaigning for Buhari

Tinubu came on board later...you sound naive, this man was talking about a fulani/northern caucus meeting, before Tinubu got involved...it's same way you people say you are moderates, you don't know they have their agenda, being used like pawns. It's funny because history clearly stated all these, the intentions are clear, it's written in history

Every sensible man knows Buhari was a bigot, protecting his herdsman brothers, they did their worst while he was in power. He has no respect or regards from me. Fulanization agenda is real, southerners who are claiming to be moderates are being used and are very naive

Don't flaunt wealth in a rural environment where everyone else is poor, you become a target.

Nigeria judiciary seems weak, this type of trial ought to be accelerated. Partisan politicking is the bane of Nigeria's development, making our institutions weak and the nation a laughing stock.

In your face

Jihad is a broad concept but it essence is the protection of sanctity and intergrity of Islam. This where many misinterperete the message. Jihad involve fighting your heart resisting temptentions of life in the sense that you lead pious and clean life and at the same time following the doctrine of Islam. It involve attempt at stoping any vices in the communities wether by words or action. This is where many get it wrong especially the extremist to mean shedding blood in the process of protecting the name of Islam. Islam does not in any way encourages shedding of blood .

In your own words " It involve attempt at stoping any vices in the communities wether by words or action."

But in a democratic civilised system, we have the courts and the police, I think the extremists are using action to try to stop perceived vices...you can't tell people how to live, if people want to engage in vices, it's not in your place to use action to stop them, they don't believe what you believe, you are a mere mortal like them, trying to force others to live like you is where the problem is, this always leads to violence and anarchy. There are many things people don't like about you and your beliefs but you are tolerated, the almajiri system that is leading to an epidemic, the noise from worship centres, people don't like these things, but in a secular free country, you tolerate, or move to an extremist religious country. You have no right to tell people how to live, if we all start forcing others to do what we want and not do what we don't want, we will have anarchy...if you feel aggrieved go to court. Trying to force others to be like you is looking for trouble and extremism in itself, I pity North, the violence will get worse, with this type of archaic beliefs.

There are hundreds of religions if all religions start moving against perceived vices, this country will go up in flames. This is a twisted mentality, and reeks of narcissism.

I urge you to read the relevant provisions of the cybercrimes Act?

Take note that if a crime is committed, the victim has a duty to REPORT it to the relevant law enforcement agencies for further investigation and possible prosecution.

If you fail to report it to the appropriate agencies and decide to handle it as you wish (self-help), you may unknowingly contravene certain provisions of the law.

my point is reporting a situation of supposed libel or defamation should not be followed by arrest, rather investigations carried out, to see if there is an element of truth in the publication...if it is truth it should not be prosecuted as a criminal case.

GloriousGbola:
Yardua reversed the sale of nigerias refineries

he is the root cause of the 18 billion wasted on TAM over the past decade

yardua was in poor health and he knew he was in poor health.
he could have done us all a solid by declining the position.

I think the reason people like him is because he was honest and had good intentions, he wasn't a religious or tribal bigot.

You turn to the devil, you get what devils get.

Yaradua was a great man, this is the type of people we acknowledge...God bless his higher soul. By trying hard and finding a way to bring peace to the Niger Delta, his disposition to do what is right in this political climate of Nigerian dirty politics, I give him kudos.

DeepSight:
The bold (you should say libel and slander, both of which are defamation) should remain civil wrongs for which the wronged person can sue.
This is the principled stand Falana SAN took on the matter of VDM.

He could have joined the bandwagon and gone after him with police. He had the money, power and influence to do so. But he specifically said he would not do so - and the reason is the same - all principled lawyers know that this should not be criminalized.

But slander is spreading false information, which can be very damaging...maybe I ought to put the defamation in quote...not yet proven...Sir Falana is a righteous activist and conscious human being, with the spirit of forgiveness, he will get his good rewards.
(had to correct my earlier premise)

histemple:
You are correct to a large extent. However, the onus lies on he who alleges to prove.

It should not be a criminal issue, until investigation has been carried out and proven it is false allegations.

I think libel and 'defamation' should be false, for it to be a crime,. reasonably... sounding out a suspicion or crime should not be punished criminally, the authorities first need to investigate the allegations... Nigerian police should try more to do investigations before arresting, I know some of them do in some cases, but in some cases they believe what the complainant say, arrest before investigating, it should be investigation before arrests, to preserve human rights and dignity.

jaszplus12:
Thanks for clarifying....well appreciated.

You are welcome

What did he really achieve for Nigeria?

Nigeria gave him a lot of previledges and good life, he benefitted from Nigeria much more and did not do anything for Nigeria to move it forward progressively.

jaszplus12:
In Truth, there's no ritual for burial in biblical text, bury the dead, remind yourself your time will come, take care of the living and move on. But because humans love flamboyant ways they do what they do to impress others or to give impression of "assisting" or "ushering" or "guiding" souls to the world of the dead and brand it "Christian", it not so in the Bible go and check. All that is absolutely IRRELEVANT!!

Most of them are ignorant, remember the religion is about memorising...I was trying to explain to them that ritual means religious practices not dark arts as they make it seem...every religion has it's practices, this is rituals.

JIBO4REAL:
That’s human for you , Islam is perfect but those practicing it are not perfect, I think I answered your questions

They get what they do inspired by the hadiths, to buttress, the stories of conquest passed down is definitely an inspiration for the radicalised youth in the religion. We know down the lines of thousands of years adulteration and copycats occur, a lot of blood thirsty radicalised men and women have been misled probably by their interpretations of the occurrence of history, the times of old was a time of struggle, people have to build armies to survive, nowadays it's different times. I think the heads of the religions must participate in the fight against those violent radicalised people, (perhaps by a radicalised imam), under a radicalised version or sect of the religion.

The moderates in the religion who love peace should join the rest of the progressive world, alienate those evil ones from their midst ban them from their worship centres and fold, so the kids and youths will see and know that they are counterfeits and saboteurs of the religion. remove those extremists because their sects and versions of the religion based on their interpretations will lead to more violence in the future, and violence leads to retrogression and poverty. Times have changed, everyone can clearly see the ills of religious extremism, the violence, displacement, animosity, retrogression in the North is directly linked to religious extremism, the almajiri system feeds this violence churning out a lot of untrained and uninspired youths.

Other religions too have this versions of adherents who misinterprete what they like about their religion as it suits their interest, purposes and motives, but people are concerned about this particular religion because the violence affect our existence, people can say Christians preach prosperity etc, but that is different from extremists killing people...we are not talking for the fun of it. Extremists terrorists hiding under the umbrella of the religion are killing people, we need to get rid of them.

zeyt:
Islam does not in anyway encourage, promote,support or cordone this criminal activies. Any indivial or group metting out voilence against any human or even animal in the name of Islamic must be astray on the wrong path. Allah will judge them accordingly.

Can you explain the idea behind the jihad and kafir doctrines?

Lionessza6:
I love it for them. No wasting of money on coffins for the dead when you still have people living in that family that might need the money to continue and better their lives.

Their women are forced to cover their heads and relegated to background, all these freedoms and equality you enjoy is not in there.

Hardeybohwarley:
I supposed you tribe was considered when you were about to be named and will be considered when you're about to be buried.

Islam before tribe brother.

When you exit they will bury you here not saudi arabia, they won't give you free space there and you can't afford it.

omoredia:
Pls it was a practice He borrowed from the Jews. Pls say the truth

You are right, both Christianity and their religion borrowed practices from Judaism, this was the first popular religion.

AllBlack:
What would happen if the whole world buries their dead like this?
No. We just want FANCY coffins that we can't use and big parties we can't eat in.

The annual worldwide total amount of money spent in burials and all the things we do in burials is enough to end hunger globally.

The annual worldwide total money used in hajj trips is sure more useful in feeding the poor. Priorities are different.
