analize701: My dearest, this you people's crusade is satanic o. This the Church is greedy instead of pointing to.peoole to Christ will discourage people from coming to Christ?
Us gathering together as a Church is a command o, not as we chose o. Wen we gather is unto God, not unto any Pastor o. Ha. Una go answer before God o.
The Holy Spirit is the Custodian of the Church, the Bible is our guide and Jesus is our Head and standard not any Pastor. Every pastor will stand to answer for themselves too.
And Not every Church is polluted. We are not left to guess why things are the way they are, Our Master told us to expect them and if they don't happen then he is a lair, but he is not. This is the era of satan and hia agents and most of them are in church,that does not mean that we will leave the church for them
Instead of strengthening people with words, making them realize the times we are living in, you have joined satan to drive souls out of Christ. You go answer o. No joke.
Answer to who? Did you see God tell you that or you borrowed that from the book written by men? I said Church failed men instead of you to address it and work out something you said I am chasing people from church. If you say people must go to church, yet the church keeps failing them why look at me to point an accusing finger rather than at the church failing and betraying God? If my mama say I must visit you every day from school yet every time I come you rob me cunningly, you do opposite of what you ask me to do, you scare me enough to give you all I own etc and then one day someone says, this man has failed you, why then will someone else point an acusing finger at the person showing me mercy instead of cautioning the thief? Why Judge me if I decide not to visit you every day after school? I understand your plight tho. You have not woken up
analize701: And how does the Church get one who is not ready to be serious with his life? No one can get conviction for the other.
When the Holy Spirit said that, there was no Church, so you have actually said nothing.
Many just gave their lives today and will burn with fire henceforth, from the same Church which you malign.
Jesus never called anyone into Church, He called us into a relationship with Him
Yeah yeah but you will castigate anyone who tells you he doesn't believe in going to church ba? IF the church was less greedy, many would not be pressured into crime. Jesus did not teach the apostles to only worry about donations into their pockets, he did not teach only about spiritual things, he also taught them to feed, clothe and shelter the needy.
Lets see if Muslims will protest in Lagos against this terrorist act done by those they claim are not one of them but are rubishing their image and the virtue of their prophet who taught them peace. Lets see if they would protest because these terrorists are blaspheming against Muhamed their prophet.
crackhouse: For those of u that are planning to sleep with anything in skirt this season mind u we have a lot of agents walking around looking for who to render useless, not after messing around with possessed girls u will come in January crying that ur business is not progressing and start suspecting one Innocent man in ur village because u gave him money for Xmas. This Is an advice.
Don't worry, they don't need to look at themselves for whom to blame....Naija men typically just blame it in their wives past or look for someone else to call agent of devil like you already know. That can hardly change.
Does Islam accept females to go to school and study law in a secular way? If she did not think religion during the study process, mixing with males not related to her etc all not supported in Islam, why then is she acting all strictly religious now?
So, she NEVER came to Naija to Visit him? ABI was the man not in contact with her after his deportation? I am sure she would visit him if she knew where he was.
intrepidJ: I am from Edo State but born and bred in Lagos, with no ties to my state of origin. My grandfather however was a native doctor, and as a kid before the age of 7 or 8 I remember my father taking me to some dirty native doctors place where I am sometimes made to take a shower. I have had incisions made on my body with blades after which some dark substance is robed on it.
Ignorant adviser. He had no proof but because she lived a lasvish lifestyle he automatically believe that she was used for jaz? So death can't come naturally to people again?

onegig: This writer seems silly. Every dick and harry calling themselves activists when all they do is write dumb articles without understanding the basic tenents of what activism is all about. Where was he when Kayode was been bullied by the law school?
He even looked comical stating that celestial church members should be allowed to not wear shoes for the call to bar. That is like comparing oranges to apples. Which exposes his lack of understanding of the issue. The hijab is an everyday wear for a Muslim woman and is to be adorned "everytime and everywhere" and not a ceremonial "I am going to my place of worship" once in a week thing. That is a huge difference. At least before you write an article get your basic facts right.
As regards the Firduas issue.
This should not be seen as a religious call but more of basic rights of a Nigerian. The Constitution which supercedes any useless laws/codes of the Law school geants the right to practice of religion in public and private without hindrance or fear to all citizens.
And by the way at what point would we stop dictating what people wear or not wear?
Women were not allowed to wear trousers in the US Congress not until 1963.
Women are not allowed to vote in most countries until recently.
Even till today women are not allowed to own properties in some places.
Women are not allowed to drive until recently in many countries and till now women are dictated to whether they should cover their hair or not for a 2 hour call to bar ceremony. Like wtf.
Of what Importance is the wig? Even the UK that we got it from is discarding that clownish thing and here we are carrying it on our head like a bag of kulikuli.
Set what ever uniform you want to set but people are allowed freedom to do whatever they want with other apparels same way you have graduation gowns and people wear whatever they want underneath it. Maybe when we start understanding what diversity means we would learn not to Lord over people who are different from us and dissipate more energy on simple things that just a mere application of commonsense would sort out.
I am sure she would sue them and I can bet 100% she would win it. Except the law school can prove they are not infringing on her universal rights to practice her religion.
How did they infringe on her right to practice Islam? Did they ask her to dump Islam? You yourself said Hijab is a clothing not really a religious thing, if they can decide what clothing people wear to call to bar, why then can't she take heed to their choice of clothing? Or am I missing something?
Dagaya: Another mofo on the loose. This is one of the most irrelevant youth till date in this country. Very confused man. He should fix up his life first before ranting all the time. Charley boy wen nor dey turn man.
Nigerians hate to hear truth sha. una like make dem dey pet una even if una dey Bleep up. Left to me, I go say make una zuzu vote for Atiku or Bubu again. Shebi even if una run go obodo oyinbo, una families go dey naija dey hear am?
God is within you. God has found you and you have found God because you have retraced your steps and acknowledged your poor taste in life. So you do not need someone to drag you to God, you need a partner who will help your faith grow. But there are only very few genuine people in that circumstance. Most so called godly people are mostly searching for what they can get from God if not they will not think of God. Many are also very worldly but believe that if they are not commiting sexual sins or stealing then they are good to go. You have to pick a mentor carefully. So, if your wife is also willing to change or follow God the way you have chosen, she is the best partner you can get. Both of you work in unity.
Antoeni: Jerusalem: A Muslim Scholar Speaks On Islam & Jerusalem By Shaykh Professor For a Jew or a Muslim, religious or secular, thinking of Jerusalem means to feel reason and sentiment mingled together. So, as a Muslim scholar and a man of religion, it is today worthwhile for me to try to determine whether, from an Islamic point of view, there is some well-grounded theological reason that makes recognizing Jerusalem both as an Islamic holy place and as the capital of the State of Israel impossible.
The idea of Islam as a factor that prevents Arabs from recognizing any sovereign right of Jews over the Land of Israel or Jerusalem is quite recent and can by no means be found in Islamic classical sources. Both Qur'an and Torah indicate quite clearly that the link between the Jews and the Land of Israel does not depend on any kind of colonization project but directly on the will of God Almighty. In particular, both Jewish and Islamic Scriptures state specifically that God through His chosen servant Moses decided to free the offspring of Jacob from slavery in Egypt and to make them the inheritors of the Promised Land.
The Qur'an cites the exact words with which Moses ordered the Israelites to conquer the Land:
"And (remember) when Moses said to his people: ‘O my people, call in remembrance the favour of God unto you, when he produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave to you what He had not given to any other among the people. O my people, enter the Holy Land which God has assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin'". (Qur'an, Sura 5:22-23, "The Table"wink
The Holy Qur'an also quite openly refers to the reinstatement of the Children of Israel in the Land before the Last Judgment, where it says "And thereafter We said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land.' And when the last warning will come to pass, We will gather you together in a mingled crowd." (Qur'an, Sura 17:104, "The Night Journey"wink
As concerns Jerusalem, the most common argument against Islamic acceptance of Israeli sovereignty over the Holy City is that, since it is a holy place for Muslims, its being ruled by non-Muslims would be a betrayal of Islam.
The designation of Jerusalem as an Islamic holy place depends on al-Mi'raj, the Ascension of the Prophet Muhammad to heaven, which began from the Foundation Stone on the Temple Mount. But while remembering this, we must admit that there is no real link between al-Mi'raj and sovereign rights over Jerusalem, since when al-Mi'raj took place the city was not under Islamic but under alternate Byzantine or Sassanid administration.
Moreover, the Qur'an expressly recognizes that Jerusalem plays the same role for Jews that Mecca has for Muslims. We read: "They would not follow thy direction of prayer (qibla), nor art thou to follow their direction of prayer; nor indeed will they follow each other's direction of prayer...." (Qur'an, Sura 2:145, "The Cow"wink All Qur'anic commentators explain that "thy qibla" is obviously the Kaba of Mecca, while "their qibla" refers to the Temple Mount Area in Jerusalem. Some Muslim exegetes also quote the Book of Daniel as proof of this (Daniel 6:10).
Thus, as no one wishes to deny Muslims complete sovereignty over Mecca, from an Islamic point of view there is no sound theological reason to deny the Jews the same right over Jerusalem.
As to Jewish-Muslim relationships, if we reflect on the level of inter-religious dialogue in past centuries, we must frankly admit that in this respect we have been moving backwards. From a theological point of view, dialogue between Jews and Muslims is easier than, say, dialogue between Jews and Chrisitians. Indeed, dialogue between Jews and Muslims was much more extensive in the past. Ibn Gabirol (Avicembro), Maimonides, Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) were not isolated intellectuals but part of an ongoing intercommunication and shared well of knowledge.
One can blame the current separation on the political situation, but that does not free intellectuals and men of religion of their responsibility. Today, looking toward the future, we must again create the same kind of intellectual atmosphere, until it is common for Islamic theologians to read Buber and Levinas, and for Jewish scholars to study the works of Sha'rawi and Ashmawi. We can understand the common features in the development of Kabbalah and Tasawwuf, or study the mutual influence of Jewish Halakhah and Islamic Sharia.
Jewish intellectuals, for their part, must be ready to understand that a new attitude is emerging among some Islamic thinkers. Many of us are now ready to admit that hostility for Israel has been a great mistake, perhaps the worst mistake Muslims have made in the last 50 years.
For those Muslim leaders who live in democratic countries, this declaration is not so dangerous. Even in the more oppressed countries, there is a certain part of the educated population that does not blindly accept the local view. It is very important for us to verify that we are not alone in this activity; we must know that there is someone else who appreciates and shares our goals.
The times are ready for Jews and Muslims to recognize each other once again as a branch of the tree of monotheism, as brothers descended from the same father - Abraham, the forerunner of faith in the Living God. The more we discover our common roots, the more we can hope for a common future of peace and prosperity.

Same people who gave you the Koran also gave you the bible. When they said train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart...... They weren't kidding. If only people will awaken from their ignorance and see that these people disturbing the pool of peace and unity are skilled psychologists and well experienced in mass control. There can not be power(absolute power) in peace. They can not control masses in times of peace. hence they cause war and trouble to keep the world divided. Almost everyone is a puppet in this mind game.
