This is true. I have engaged a few of them. They’re mostly religious people who have now become informed on another level yet still ignorant in reality. They are actually weak minded people who can’t take pain or the loss of a loved one. One particular one lost a limb and he’s still bitter bc he wanted God to grow a new limb for him. I feel sad for them though, I know they’re just lost souls who wants answers. This is why I have written a book for them, I hope many of them are able to think beyond their present situation. Truth be told they’re usually more sound minded than religious people. Religious people are also ignorant in reality but never want to talk about their believe. I prefer to engage atheist bc they never block you even though they’re too blind to see their own ignorance. I just pray Christ saves as many as he would both the religious ones and the atheists

Sorry I meant to only discourage irresponsibile enthusiasts

I know what it cost me learning about all this over the years

Spiritism isn't for everyone and it isn't shared anyhow

Someone used the bolded argument elsewhere...that all a kidnapper has to do is kidnap someone for his SIM. I answered that argument


A key loophole criminals use is

1.Using pre-registered SIM cards..to hide their tracks
2Buying someone's sim card (as seen in a recent kidnap case ..the kidnappers bought a SIM card from some random hawker. Which means when the police were tracing the sim, all they got was a hawker who knew nothing. ).

This new policy closes both loopholes.

1.Everyone has to register his SIM with the NIN
2.There would be no incentive to sell preregistered SIMS, since you have to add your NIN for every SIM you register...and selling it means you are selling your NIN....not a good idea especially if the buyer is into yahoo yahoo.....

You want a better police, vote out PDP and APC and vote someone better come 2023. Thank you.

Nigerian youth are too lazy!... Something that didn't take me up to 10 minutes to do, they are everywhere on social media crying wolf.. Come February 28, 2021, most of them will still not meet the deadline and still call for another extension.

Too bad! Even on this thread, you'll see them accusing the government of "inflicting pains on them".. Very lazy youth! But if it's to watch BBN and vote for their favorite housemates, they'll lavish all their time on such frivolities, but common to do something that will benefit them, they are attacking the government..

Seriously, only God Almighty can help us!

Is it allowable for a muslim woman to greet a muslim man by shaking hands?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

For a man to shake hands with a non-mahram woman (one to whom he is not related) is haraam and is not permitted at all. Among the evidence for this is the hadeeth of Ma’qal ibn Yassaar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘If one of you were to be struck in the head with an iron needle, it would be better for him than if he were to touch a woman he is not allowed to.”

(Reported by al-Tabaraani; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5045).

There is no doubt that for a man to touch a non-mahram woman is one of the causes of fitnah (turmoil, temptation), provocation of desire and committing haraam deeds. No one should say that their intention is sound or their heart is clean, because the one who was the purest of heart and the most chaste of all, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) never touched a non-mahram woman, even when accepting bay’ah (oath of allegiance) from women. He did not hold their hands when accepting their bay’ah, as he did with men; their bay’ah was by words only, as was reported by his wife ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). She said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would test the believing women who emigrated to him with the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! When believeing women come to you to give you the bay’ah (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allaah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood (i.e., by making illegal children belong to their husbands), and that they will not disobey you in any ma’ruf (Islamic monotheism and all that which Islam ordains), then accept their bay’ah and ask Allaah to forgive them. Verily Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [al-Mumtahinah 60:12] ‘Aa’ishah said: “So whoever of the believing women agreed to these conditions, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would say to her: ‘I have accepted your bay’ah by words.’ By Allaah, his hand never touched the hand of any woman when accepting their bay’ah (Oath of allegiance) he accepted their bay’ah by saying ‘I have accepted your bay’ah on this basis.’”

(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 4512; according to another report: he accepted their bay’ah by words… the hand of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) never touched the hand of any woman except a woman he owned . Reported by al-Bukhaari, 6674).

Some Muslims feel too embarrassed to refuse when a woman offers her hand to them. In addition to mixing with women, some of them claim that they are forced to shake hands with fellow-students and teachers in schools and universities, or with colleagues in the workplace, or in business meetings and so on, but this is not an acceptable excuse. The Muslim should overcome his own feelings and the promptings of the Shaytaan, and be strong in his faith, because Allaah is not ashamed of the truth. The Muslim could apologize politely and explain that the reason he does not want to shake hands is not to offend or hurt anybody’s feelings, but it is because he is following the teachings of his religion. In most cases this will earn him respect from others. There is no harm done if they find it strange at first, and it may even be a practical opportunity for da’wah. And Allaah knows best.

The Pharaohs of Egypt. I was going to include it in the post, but I forgot.

LordAdam16:
I'll admit I would not purchase the two other paintings you shared, much more for the amounts quoted. However, I'd hesitate to label them 'frauds,' simply because they do not match my taste.

On a related note, I wouldn't be a collector of baseball cards, coins, figurines, and dozens of other contemporary collectibles. Doesn't mean the collectible items are fraud. I'd gladly pay tens of millions on a Faberge egg, but wouldn't buy a similarly priced Qin Dynasty Chinese pottery.

Art is based in large part on collective approval. If you like a painting and it's recognizable, the only takeaway is that your taste aligns with a majority for that painting. It doesn't make you the sole arbiter of art quality. Yours could just as easily diverge from popular opinion on another painting.

The humility to recognize that is a prerequisite for taking in art in all its splendor.

Art is not close-minded. It explains the evolution of personal artistic taste. To illustrate, Lord Rothschild has a more refined taste than I do; as such he can easily bring me around on a painting that I would hitherto brush off in a showing.

Your attempt to reduce this nuance to a hoax tells me that you need to spend more time in gallerias, befriend more artists, add art lovers to your social circle, and brush up on your art history.

That said, I'm taken aback by your comment on "a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment." You do not have to spend hundreds of millions on a painting to be in a state of mind characterized by that clause. Eating an Italian cuisine at a Michelin 3-star restaurant or floating in the turquoise waters of Mauritius will evoke the exact same "sense of satisfaction and accomplishment."

Obviously to a lesser degree, but that's a far cry from stating that expensive art purchases 'represent' an ego trip. That's only true in the minds of a myopic cynic of which there are many.

And there has been no one in the mold of Da Vinci in over 400 years. This in a planet with a current standing population of 8 billion. So excuse art connoisseurs if they choose to revel in the authentic creations of less-gifted artists until another once-a-millennia genius pops around.

In confidence I'll tell you this; enjoy life. Whether you want to be an ascetic or indulge in all of the finer pleasures; soak in the experience of living than be bothered to a point of incense about how others deploy their resources.

LordAdam16:
Actually, Abstract Expressionism is my favorite painting type, so you wouldn't hear me breathe a word of disapproval about a masterpiece by Jackson f*kn' Pollock.

That's a better investment than U.S. Treasury Bill IMO. And stopping to stare at it in a 4th home in the right zip code is the very definition of orgasmic.

Here's the thing: Set aside the inevitable appreciation and crafty tax avoidance benefits; and few things can bring a sense of satisfaction or accomplishment as a nine-figure painting. Beats another mansion with property taxes, staff, and security or a yacht/repurposed Boeing narrow-body with 10% annual maintenance costs.

And it's art man! Art! One-of-a-f*kn-kind that will [read: can] never be replaced.

Dude, don't loose your rag over a statement of fact you can't seem to live with! The owners of the oyel (ie, the elite and others in a position to effect a change) are not just naive, but greedy and selfish to boot! They can't seem to reason longterm, neither can they reign in their voracious appetite for the few pathetic crumbs offered from the 'masters' table!

It may probably be even too late for them to grow a pair of balls and demand full ownership of what God in his infinite wisdom has blessed them with, instead of meekly settling for the present pathetic set-up where they get a miserly 13% derivation, coupled with all manner of gimmicks like NDDC and ministry of Niger-Delta!

Adaka Boro and Saro-Wiwa happened more than two decades ago! When i talk of naive owners of the oyel, i'm talking of the here and now! All we see now are greedy, self-serving noisemakers called politicians, elder statesmen and militants!

This is a welcome development. Africa must unite to stop the attempt by US to impose a stooge as president of the bank. Kudos to president Obasanjo and the FG of Nigeria for this promt intervention. Hopefully, ECOWAS and Africa Union will also take similar position as the FG of Nigeria. This is a fight for the development, progress, and freedom of Africa and not Adesina’s fight alone.

Which devils advocate? Even if the money looted was not $50 billion, but just $20 billion according to Okonjo-Iweala or a few billions according to KPMG, was money looted under Jonathan or not?

Sanusi tells it how he see it, no matter whose ox is gored. You jonathan worshippers can partner with Gandollar to attack Sanusi, God will always elevate him higher. You think if he loses the Emirship, he would not get a good job at the world Bank or other multinational financial cooperation?
