₦airaland Forum

I think many of the threads that make front page are those perceived to be of interest to the majority.That makes them okay.

What may not be good is situations where others that deserve to be read in terms of being informative, et al don't grace it just because they may not receive the most responses.


Also, I would want topics from the religion and Islam for Muslim sections to continually grace the front page especially when they are current(like the easter ones at the moment) and informative. But moderators should be ready to do their job with regards offensive posts. If not, they are better left in those sections.

Tribal threads may not be so good but I think they bring into our consciousness something deep within that are not ordinarily expressed. It is good to know the truth of our situation. when they become extreme though, it is up to the moderators.

Finally, some topics on the home page have typographical errors that should really be avoided.

Here's what wikipedia has to say of the national mosque-

The Abuja National Mosque, also known as the Nigerian National Mosque, is the national mosque of Nigeria, a country with a substantial Muslim population. The mosque was built in 1984 and is open to the non-Muslim public, except for during congregational prayers. Ustaz Musa Mohammed is the chief imam.

The mosque is located in the capital city, Abuja, and is situated on Independence Avenue, across from the National Christian Centre. It includes a library and a conference room.





hmmn..I love the walls..

lets start from home as suggested by tpia


right now, I wish I have architectural jargons to describe this mosque. I love it and if You've been there, You can just help me out.

[quote author=tpia@]the topic is too broad and neither will you build a general Islamic consciousness that way.[/quote]truly broad. and about the consciousness, it is d reason I said the thread isnt a serious one.

just check the Islamic architecture in your country and go from there.

we might just start with that already

in Nigeria's case, that would be mainly Hausa architecture and you can examine mosques elsewhere in the country as well.

that is where the word, Muslim comes in

bhusayor: Subscribing...

mukina2: ok Ma

yes darl!

bhusayor: ^^ toba

he sounds truly like toba but toba cant be claiming atheism except that he is bipolar

olawalebab: thanks, sis. Really miss you

hmmmn!

olawalebab: thanks for asking, will complete it later in the year.

MBA? thats a good thing. would like to have one too, someday

IbroSaunks: So how exactly do i celebrate Islamic art(and architecture)? I admit I am a tad confused!

you can celebrate things in different ways. Posting them here, admiring and talking about them are ways of celebrating them. long time. how've u been?

informatix: Lagos shia?.lol.
Dont you know of a Prophet who's Son is a NON believer he did everything to convince the Son but the Son refused?. If they Go astray na dem go no bi me. I will tell them the Message is up to them.
Lagos Shia?.or tehran Shiite?.lol.

so, you'll gladly watch your children embrace hell?? SMH

LagosShia: if she likes,i think she can feel free to go to church.but she should not take the children with her.at least you should have agreed before marrying her that your children will practice islam,go to mosque (no church),have muslim names only,and attend muslim schools or at most non-religious schools.

if you are thinking of taking up another wife,that is good for her.but please dont abandon your children to her.make sure before you take up another wife,your children are not with her.take the children to wherever you are or let your muslim family members train them.if you take up another wife and your children are with her,she will not only succeed in sending your children to church, she will also succeed in manipulating them against you.she will make sure they hate you and your religion because you took up another wife and "abandoned" them (as she will mislead them to believe).

try to convince her that if she wants to be your wife and remain christian,christianity should not be practiced in your house and the children are muslims.she can be going to her church.that is her destiny she is following.

@ bashy demmy
yes yes and yes! to the above.

but I dont think marrying another wife as a punishment to her solves anything. I'd care more about the children in this situation.

Just be the man and take over the affairs of your children.

Lagusta: now u r gettin it all wrong!!!!
Hb is measured in mg/dl. Pcv in percentages. Normal hb level is 13-15 mg/dl... Any value given multiplied by three gives a rough estimate of pcv. Go seek professional help!!!
As for nigerian doctors, i don't blame them. They didn't pass exams wit brains, but wit money. Then failed primaries and had to stick to dirty private practice i.e. Abortion... :@

Hb is calculated in percentages too. I understand though that the manner of practice differs in different places, that could have been responsible for the confusion.Maybe you arent aware of that. I am good now like I said earlier.

On this thread, let us celebrate Islamic/ Muslim art and architecture. Along the way, we can discuss certain things pertaining to the objects of interest.

this thread is not to be a serious one. just enjoy!!!!!!




would be back. . .InshaALlah

@Bigger boy and tbaba1234, thank you guys. I agree with you.

Seun: If people are involved in fights, I guess we can block them from seeing each others' posts.

I'll appreciate it if I can block seeing a certain person's posts. You can make people decide rather than let the moderators do the job like it is on FB and twitter.

blink182: What really impresses me is the extent to which the animator captured the person of Jonathan:

Lacking vital information: even with his love for facebook, he didn't know Mark
Slow response time: Took his time to think morosely before replying Mark
Diplomatic sense: He answered the phone like he had a personal relationship with Mark despite having no clue of Mark earlier.
Inability to show anger: Despite being spoken to rudely by a really young boy, he didn't pick offense despite his office.
Weak persuasiveness: Delivered a weak plea to Mark.

so on point

yamakuza: hope u dont mind my 2cents?

I dont at all.

1stly, the notifications r in Digest form, so they shouldnt be much of a bother.

they'r not. I was just wondering if someone is using my account

2ndly, Mukina2 is ur friend, so u get subscribed to her posts, most of which make the frontpage.

you mean i get automatic subscription to posts by every of my friends? no. or hers is a different case for being da super mod?

You must have glanced at a few of those inadvertently, hence the mysterious updates

I doubt that I did. I'll watch out though. thank you

Seun: If people are involved in fights, I guess we can block them from seeing each others' posts.

I'll appreciate it if I can block seeing a certain person's posts. You can make people decide rather than let the moderators do the job like it is on FB and twitter.

bhusayor: I honestly don't intend to take sides with anyone on this issue,and I've always tried to refrain myself from passing a comment whenever both of you are at each other's throats, but I just have to say this, mac, give deols a break please. The way you go about trying to look out for her flaws to justify her imperfection is becoming embarassing to me. I've been a follower of almost every thread in this section and I know what I'm saying. You really need to stop calling her out unnecessarily. You aren't perfect either, and knwoing your kind of person, I'm quite sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone keeps finding faults in you.

There are better ways to admonish someone without coming across as a stalker or wateva!

I'd appreciate it if both of you can just read my comment and not reply. Thank you

sweetheart, let him sweat please, that was my last to him.

I'll end this by the words of this psycologist. remember to change the word,igbo to maclatunji.

There is something in the psychological makeup of Igbos that makes them always go looking for trouble. In the calmest of circumstances they will always do something that would annoy those around them, create conflict and then live in conflict; they seem to enjoy living in conflicts.

Invariably they would say or do something that even a child knows would irritate those neighbors and do it as if they do not know that such actions irritate people.

https://www.nairaland.com/873527/why-do-igbos-always-go

Idowuogbo: Iyaoko mi,I just wished Perx gave you a chance.Tunji is here going on and on as usual,his problem is he doesn't want to digest the facts u posted,he is d Messiah and nobody dia tell him the truth.Iya oko mi plzzzz if in d nearest future we have someone battling to survive drop in,fight to get heard.U have a heart, and as brutal as u are sometimes u always careful wen it comes to d life of a human being.D lord is your strength.

@Tunji

Now it's time for Badosky to talk,u always want 2 play d speak truth game and u constantly attack folks wen d truth is bin dished out to u rite! I know what I have to say probably shares little connections with wot we pondering on here,but it's time for u to HOLD IT! Tunji.Dis thread was created by you rite? U found out about Perx tru dis avenue rite? Fine! you and Perx shared something strong no doubts, we all did in one way or another.We all kept tracks of her posts which also includes dis present thread,during d happenings a disturbed gal named GLORYA showed up and i must say in the beginning u took notice of her and Perx.Tunji y did u abandon GLORYA for Perx? Was GLORYA case not strong enough for ur Messiah qualities? GLORYA came on thread looking for me and u ignored her but had da energy to reply Perx straight after on this same thread.Y were u discriminating? Have u mailed or contacted GLORYA? Now am also angry and boiling but pls stop pointing fingers @ Tehn,dis guys aren't gona b wot u expect them to be.

Tunji I advised you offline and told you most members of Tehn are elderly so watch ur tongue,but for u to pounce on OAm4 like dat is extremely sickening,I certainly won't let u get away with it NO WAY!!!.Tunji I dont expect a paragraph justifying ur actions, and I don't really wanna hear ur usual stunts,I just wish u would accept some posts are FACTS.U are not d son of Moses so pls apply silence when due.
Peace!

and I read the thread and could have nudged the ladies on or just add my views but I didnt because there was nothing to gain. Tunji will not learn. he isnt wise enough to. My parting gift in form of an appraisal.

hmmn! so that was not even your first time ehn? It is very reasonable then that I ignore you henceforth. you aint worth nada of anyone's time.

[quote author=Busy_body]Maclatunji, i don't know what is driving you, but you need to put a stop to it, it is dangerously unpleasant and unsettling. Remember how i asked you back then on this thread before it got cleaned out, saying "whose are you? Who sent you?". YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY STOP TWISTING PEOPLE'S WORDS TO YOUR OWN ADVANTAGE. IT IS NOT FAIR USING WORDPLAY TO DESTABILISE PEOPLE THEREBY MAKING PEOPLE MISINTERPRETE THEIR ORIGINAL INTENTION. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN PULLED UP THIS YEAR ALONE ON NAIRALAND FOR THIS? THINK ABOUT IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD Look at these highlighted examples:





https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=826801.msg10350996#msg10350996








You said you discussed some things behind the scenes with TEHN and made some recommendations to them . . . R231 made his "LISTENING" comment to indicate that this was new to them but they would still like to hear it, yet SEE HOW YOU TWISTED R231'S QUERY which he even highlighted in bold TO YOUR OWN ADVANTAGE and changed it to Perx would not like you to share it, leaving him floundering and bewildered. And when he AGAIN asked what TEHN had done wrong, you slunk away, probably with a smug satisfied job done grin on your face, why! Why do you feel the need to bring others down to exhonerate yourself? Who has accused anyone of doing any wrong except for that immature Ivynwa who is a textbook case of old age being just a number?[/quote]the last in bold is probably the reason you always ask if I think youv been acting to bring me down. A part of you definitely knows what you do but you can keep lying to yourself.

and the following is what idowuogbo had to say. obviously, u ddnt learn a thing from them. o ga o.

maclatunji: LMFSO! That was brilliant + classic all the way. But why do we seem to clash so much? It shouldn't be you know- I could almost say it is unnatural.

You know what? I wouldn't mind reading that thesis. #LOL Abeg start writing!

I wouldnt mind writing that thesis if not that from experience, it would be a waste of time.

let me however give you a parting appraisal for this would be my last response to you on this forum(I hope Seun brings that feature that allows you block people You dont wanna see soon, so you could be bye gone forever). Am sure of the bickering to follow this But who says I care?

I have been avoiding you for a while and you keep lurking around so your outburst doesnt in the least surprise me. It was bad that I snapped but okay that you call me very proud. Who appointed you the judge of character here, Mr Goodman? and you have the audacity to continually give people tags. oh, and I think you really think am proud but what do I think of you?

NL must be making your life so good that bukatyne's thank you keeps you going. Reminds me of how tpia kept massaging your ego until she confirmed your . . . on another thread. Toba was your bossom friend too when he was obviously antideols. You have the habit of capitalising on other people's matter so you could appear as good. Thank God busy body agrees with me. the following is her response to you on a thread elsewhere.


[quote author=Busy_body]SEE ANOTHER CASE IN POINT






HOW DARE YOU WHO MADE YOU JUDGE AND JURY

See how you used Ivynwa's evil words which could only come from a devious depraved tainted and tortured soul like her. Your post was equally inflammatory and downright condemning, yet I kept quiet when Jennykadry said you did not join in because i'd rather that died down, See how i have been vindicated, see how Prince was unfairly attacked! But you just don't know when to stop do you!!! I tire for you oh



AND YET ANOTHER CASE



Again, see how you twisted my response to OAM4J [/b]TO COME UP SMELLING OF ROSES when it was something entirely different Elder OAM4J was talking about. [b]You think i too could not have come to translate OAM4J's recommendation as : "Sorry i slacked and dropped the ball, next time i will use more force and possibly resort to violence and bludgeon Maclatunji out of the way so i can get my message across to perx. Think only you can play the game huh. It is not fair oh.

And if as you have correctly deduced up there, everyone is misinterpreting your words, why is it taking you so long to cotton onto the issue that[b] you need to take a step back and go and reappraise yourself [/b] Idowuogbo was right about that Messianic pickin of Joseph badge she gave you oh, Pele pele oh.
[/quote]https://www.nairaland.com/826801/you-feeling-suicidal-come-here/18#10355927

I put the ones I find very true about you in bold and this isnt all, there's more. . .


What I am yet to understand is how people keep telling you the same thing over and over again and as a grown up man (like u'd want to be called), you havent reasoned enough to change your ways.

maclatunji: Look deols, you need to shed this 'victim' mentality when it comes to my posts when they concern you. After all said and done, you are still trying to rationalise and justify your aggressive post to bukatyne.

Do you really think that I am so idle that all I come here to do is to embarrass you? Like I said before, you know I appreciate a lot of your qualities, to what degree I think you have an idea. However, I would become a hypocrite if I see you do or say something wrong and pretend as if what you have done is the best thing in the world.

Secondly, you know very well why I cannot say these things to you in private so there is nothing like 'capitalising' on any matter from me.

You are a wonderful person but that does not mean you are perfect or that you cannot make mistakes or cannot be reprimanded or corrected.

When such instances arise, look at the message and not the messenger. You have grown to distrust me a lot- therein lies our problem.

victim mentality? Uv read too much on this forum that certain phrases uv added to ur vocabulary without learning when to use them appropriately.
I wrote a reply to ur previous statement. When I have d time, i'll post it. Hopelly it will help you out of your situation. I doubt it though.

it's totly uncool bro


hahahahahhahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

bukatyne: @mactunji: thanks once again. i never meant any harm or bias. @deols: won't descend so low as to start any religious or personal bashin. as a christian, i don't do that in real life n i don't c anyreason y i should do it here. @mactunji: if sayin one is better than d other makes me prejudiced, i m sorry. afteral, i don't know if it was specified in d Quran which one is acceptable. i was only givin my opinion on wat i see. take care

this is exactly my point. av bn on this forum for a while and I speak from experience. you are not the first to be giving such statements and I have given similar replies in the past. If not for capitalising on the matter, I dont think it would have been a big deal.

Logic Mind: muslims like you requesting, threatning, getting and hiding in their section.

that am not interested in the things you do over there doesnt mean am scared of you. Ever heard of the word motive? Your motive anywhere should be your driving force. Not what an atheist would think of me nor so it doesnt seem like am scared.

btw, u can just browse through previous posts to see that am not restricted to this place. Check dilluminati's recent post on the religion section and there, you'd find my reply.

Still, I wonder what your own motives are. To convert pple into atheism??

^^ ur name contradicts you:

Logic Mind: so what are you running/hiding from?
what are you afraid of?

is that question directed at me? What makes you think I am afraid

hello,

I have been getting notifications to threads I did not comment on nor did I even see. Is it how the NL2 works or there's been some problem somewhere?

^^hahaha! I wonder what light an atheist has to shine. . .

tbaba1234: Muslim men are permitted to marry people of the book (Jews and Christians), And you are allowed to practice your religion freely. I see no problem here.

What do you know about Islam? Have you tried learning about it?

I heard an athar of Ali (r.a) where he said the people of the book mentioned in the Qur'an are the monotheists rather than the trinitarians of today meaning a Muslim man shouldnt even be married to the christians of today. Havent seen it ever ever though. Just stating

bntY: Oga mac,pls take it easy on my deols.looks like u just lie in wait for her to goof and u pounce on her. I particularly appreciate u duo's contribution to dis section so I don't like it when u bicker.It's like mum and dad fighting...u know better wat it does to d children.

hmmmmn! I see your effort. Thanks hun. If I take the job of a psychologist on maclatunji's case, I'd write a thesis that'll awe you all. I'll be quite now. But my dog doesnt lie jeje for too long.

I'll continue to try being civil with him.

@bukatyne, if you read my first post again you'd realise I didnt insult you. my tone might have been harsh to you but I wouldnt have taken an offence on such a thing if said to me. In the long run, my point is clear and is all that matters.

jtkoko9: :-XHerbal drug marketers and their wahala sef

their wahala too much. I hope people are careful with them

shiloh: @deols...are u a medical practitioner? U seem to be against all d solutions given to u,that means u know ur onions. As for naija doctors...na only God go help us. I dont knw hw dey passed thru medic skool. Even me wey sabi do research online sabi pass dem sometimes. God help us.

thank you dear. I was hoping to have some meaningful discussions here o. Am surprised by all of these.

olawalebab: It seems you know more than the "e- doctors"

hmmn. Lol
