Abujabir24: Why are you all making fun or jest of this sister? One natural habit that men are having is the ability to accept a girl's love, proposal when she offers you herself or should I say if? Now this sister just came in here with a desperate situation that she needs/wants and you all are just saying you are ready when I can swear with the quran that you are not. Sister please my advise for you, before you submit your love to anybody in an online thread, make sure you are absolutely sure that they are serious and ready for you if not I fear for you in the long run a heart break which I need not to tell you the situation of a woman when heart broken. One thing boys, youths, men do is they take a risk of approaching a lady when they no they ainy ready for a relationship or marriage and when the girl accepts them with her open heart and 100% love, then they go to their friends and start seeking for bad advise from them on how to get rid of her. Please sister choose carefully please.

I wonder where the 'all' that are making jest of her are. Except for toba's, there is no comment that appears to be from an unserious person.

And you call her desperate? She doesnt sound desperate to me. In fact, the word desperate sounds derogatory.

Your advice about being sure of their intention is good though.

And I really commend d sister for her courage.

I cant c d video yet But I assume it is sending a good message. I hope the Muslim leaders in Nigeria woupd always rise to the occasion. Sending the Muslims of Nigeria messages not only during Eid but at challenging periods too.

I am going to share it wv as many pple as I can once I view it and hopefully it would go a long way.

@Ummitoagirl,toba is a christian

I wish you the best in your search

Does this achievement benefit Nigeria or Nigerians in anyway? Just asking o.

It would be good if a scientist would make a breakthrough and give it a Nigerian name.

Something like deols's syndrome or nijarite

How many Abu qaqas exist. I thought tgey arrested him long ago.

Geophem: [color=#990000][/color]were, so girlfrnd shld announce dr coming to dr boyfrnd lyk dt of jesus christ, i wonder d knid of brain u av

And y shouldnt they? Are they married?

I wonder what is wrong with the young generation of Nigerians.

Desola: I actually love that view. You should watch the movie, "Toluwanile" to appreciate the beauty of the ancient Ibadan. Most parts if not all of Britain is ancient and that is because they pride themselves on preserving history and proud of their heritage so much so that you have foreigners visiting for that purpose.

You can't allow ibos who don't have a history, those who believe they are israelites and have no written or oral trace of their history to tell you that your beautiful city is dirty. You should be the one telling them to get lost because they are B.AS.TARDS!!

Hmmn. I get it

fstranger: SO you dont want to work in Ibadan? You just want to live there?

It doesnt av 2 be about me. Anyone who wants that could easily get it. Many people already do that. They work mondays to fridays in Lagos and only see their family during the weekend.

This project has a social impact too.

chino24: This is a waste by the visionless acn Yoruba party. This funds could have been channeled into mechanized and modern agriculture and other purposeful projects. Ibadam is quite rural and there nothing much happening their in terms of economic activities. Its just a 'big' town in terms of huge shanties and planlessness all over the place.

Ibadam biggest city in term of what, all these shanties you call house. Ok let up one picture, just one for to see what you call a city.

Funny you had to climb a hill to take dat pix. Ordinarily you wldnt need to c all of those.
True IB peeps dont care about what you think of d city. If u nor like am, pack ur load and leave

And there are better views than dat.

hrhobi1: Lagos to Ibadan is about 45 minutes by road. So why the need for a train? is it to make the journey 15 minutes or what ? Why not Lagos to-Ogun-Ondo- Benin-Asaba- Onitsha- Enugu and to the north, which is economically viable to me. Just another waste of funds. IBADAN THAT OLD DIRTY CITY FULL OF RACISTS, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE YOU BE OUTCAST.

The racist part got me laughing. Where in Ibadan do/did you live.
Its intriguing how many Igbo people here claim to know Ibadan. For you to have survived/made some dole in the dirty city,it must be good.

Sirheed89: Salamalaikum W.W, plz i wana knw what Islam says about
1:COURTSHIP?
2: as i read frm prev post by our bro n sist up here, bowing or prostrating to any MAN is haram, shld be done fr Allah S.W.T alone, bu i read that Allah told the Angels to bow to Adam n dt wen shaitan disobeyed, cn i get more light please.

We have over discussed the courtship issue. The best way is still as it was practiced at d time of d prophet(S.A.W).

A man should be going after a woman only because he wants to marry her. He should see her mahram from whom he gets the permission to speak wv her. With permission sought,they can then communicate. If she accepts, marriage straight away..that is d best way.

all my previous arguments on it trashed

I have always loved d idea of living in Ibadan while working in Lagos. It will reduce d mass movement to Lagos and bring about an increasd level of development to Ibadan. Good move,that is.

When they attain the big status,women bcom men. I'd rather the real ones

If it is of d same size as d galaxy note, which would mean GN1,putting it to d ear shouldnt be a problem. Cant find my ear piece and av bn doin fine

Its beautiful


Now,am jealous!

tbaba1234: Three Issues, I don't know if they have been addressed already...

i. Traditional practices in Marriages ,

I am not a yoruba person but i do see myself possibly getting married to one. During their traditional weddings, I see the men have to lie down flat with their heads on the ground...

Personally, I can not put my head on the floor for any man because that is only reserved for Allah... It is Islamically wrong as well.. Ca one get out of this kind of tradition without being seen as rude or disrespectful.


Assalam Aleikum

These days, they dont lie down flat anymore(as Muslims) but they still do a little prostration. Like someone said, you can make them realise you dont want that before the day. In fact, the bride is usually allowed to make many of the decisions as to how she wants her day. Convincing her should do the job.

ii. Dealing with family problems

How can you help people fix their family issues as an outsider? I have a relation whose family are consistently at loggerheads with each other... Husband, wife and children... Everyone is fighting with the other.. It is chaos...

They are just two children (boy and girl) so it is just a family of four... The kids are younger than me so i do try to offer islamic advice on how to relate with your parents. Talking back at parents is a major sin in Islam.. Already, I can see improvements with the boy but the girl is just horrible... I shudder at the things she says to her parents... Usually, she is the quiet one but when she explodes, it is terrible. (I experienced one just yesterday).

The parents are much older than me so there is a limit to the kinds of things, i can say to them.

The upbringing is different for them though, they grew up in America..

Everyone seems to have problems these days and the way we go about it makes the difference. According to Islam, bringing representatives from the two sides are supposed to help resolve issues But people are too scared of involving third parties . I really cant tell how anyone might be able to solve that.

I can however talk about how the parents might deal with their kids(being a kid myself ). The children,especially if they are teenagers might just be passing through a phase. At that time, you really think u'r an adult and don't want to be controlled. Something else I'd be bothered about is the level of relationship these parents have with their children. Are there certain things they are doing that won't make the children respect them?

I think the parents would need to sit them down and talk to them. the tight fist method would most probably only make those kids become more stubborn. I hope this helps.

iii. What is your view on a marriage where the woman earns more than her husband? Personally, i have no problems with it but it will be interesting to hear your views...

Respect matters and trust too. with so many stories of men leaving the women who helped them make it, a woman might be wary of doing the bigger spending But if She can trust him with all of her heart and he is good enough to be respected, there should be no problem.

toba: deols. hi. ive been looking for u

no derail the thread jor and who says I was missing

About prostrating to elders. I just dont get why our parents wont let it go even when you tell them of what Islam says about it. As for me, it is a lost battle with my mum. I am more bothered that it isn't even about greeting her or my dad(in my house, its enough to say Salam alaykum) but about greeting people from the outside, like u'd be expected to greet your mother-in-law.

What I told her is, 'okay am your daughter and wont want to make u unhappy. So, I'll do this. But, when I have my own children, I'll teach them to do what I want and that includes not prostrating to anyone'. You need to have seen the look. It was like, 'are you saying your children won't respect me? but I can't remember what she said.

So, truly, it can be hard dealing with our people. culture versus religion is a big deal but it wont take much time before they eventually get it, I guess.

I assume when we attain independence, we'd be able to make our own choices.

Kissing was never a part of our culture and I have never seen anyone attaching too much importance to it. In fact, the people who would most probably talk about it are those who don't want it.

And about the cultural aspects of the marriage, I think Sino said something about it. All I have to say is, the presentation of gifts(idana) doesnt seem to have anything unIslamic about it and sshouldn't be counted as one of the things to avoid.

Lesson to learn-be good to your family no matter what you think you'v bcom.They'd be d most important people at d time of needs. A word should b enof 4 d wise.

@Op, there's nothing massive about the security.
I so wish the protests didn't happen in Nigeria. Hopefully, it wont go beyond JOS.


Really,it is annoying seeing the disruptions and chaos in the Middle East as a result of the movie. But can I entirely blame these people?
It sounds like the matter of a wife beater and his acoustic tongued wife. She knows the biggest strike she can give is via her tongue and he pays back by the beating. The two probably have the same effects on who's getting them(and not that I support either). My point is, everyone knows we Muslims get overly sensitive with the mention of anything/person we see as holy while the Muslims understand they cannot pay back in the same way as the others wouldn't get the same feel. So, they do what they think would give an equal strike(and that is not to say I support the violence). Any reprisal would find Muslims and Muslim nations paying dearly-an enough reason for me to fear!


The producer of the movie is a 'nobody' and the protests are only making him relevant. I wish no one paid attention. But what's happening definitely goes beyond the movie.An average arab Muslim, who may not be patient enough to observe his prayers perfectly and would rather dress the 'English' way or see American movies would rise to the occasion when it is time for 'America' to pay for all the atrocities they committed. and it doesnt matter that they'r having a changing foreign policy-no one cares about that. They still kill our Muslim brothers in Afghanistan and they support Isreal against Palestine and are even planning against our 'shia' brothers in Iran. Muslims have this strong brotherhood ingrained.(note again, am only making an analysis).

That is the psyche of a Muslim and don't tell me you want to change that. America would still have so much to pay for. The shifting of arms to the middle east during the Arab spring was a very wrong move IMO. VOting a Muslim party in Egypt goes to show the people would rather have an Islamic republic though. America's support to the people doesnt make them 'friends'

Where this ends is not known yet But I fear that any reprisal would be deadly. I wish it never started and I hope our Northern brothers won't join in this.

he is right about everything said.

Thanks guys.
I ddnt av to do anythn. It resolved on its own.I received a whatsapp message. Surprised,I checked d other apps and realised they were restored.

So,ACM10 has no other proof beyond his lecture notes and that his lecturer said so.

And aribisala0 cant yet disprove him? I Wonder why he kept on arguing.

I hope someone knows that lecture notes can be referenced in academic writings.

And who never knew that many epidemiologic claims on Nigeria are hearsays and can't be found in textbooks/journals.

How many medical books are authored by Nigerians?

Qwerty-d only good thn about that E7 of a phone

Do you know what a school looks like?

esere826: mmmmhhhh'
Some people recite quaran, some others call Jesus, while some others just relax.. at the end it goes away.

So since some belive that this is demonic, we can conclude that the devil is afraid of both Allah, Jehova and man. And yet he stupidly sneaks in to pull a fast one.

This particular demon apparently has one common goal then: to make imams, pastors and doctors very rich as they charge consultancy fees to the op-'pressed'

l gave that a thought too.

Well,according to d Islamic religion,you dont have to be Muslim to have your prayers answered.So calling Jesus as u wake up or before the exam u passed doesn't make Jesus God. It is almost a leveled playing field in ds world until the next.

Anyone recited Qursiyy against them demons here? That sure Works
