A god that you worship in a language different from your mother tongue is a highly limited god.

Alllllah is a limited god.

You left all the idols in your tribe to go and worship Arab pagan idol!

Is English your mother's tongue?
The more you nurture Islamophobia in your heart, the more stupid you sound

olabrad:
You told me to do research, whereas, your comment shows that you don't do research. If you do research, you won't be a Muslim again!

Do you know that Arabic Quran already exists in different versions and they differ significantly from one another?!

Go online and compare Hafs and warsh and alduri versions of the Arabic Quran. You'll see that you don't have to translate Quran to another language before it can be corrupted. Qur'an is already corrupted!

Your ignorance stinks!

They are Qur'an styles (qiraat and riwayat). Qur'an was revealed in all those styles, 10 of them. No conflict, no contradiction.

You help you understand it, if you want to, it's like language dialects.
See it as Ekiti, Ijebu, Egba, Oyo, Igbomina rendition of same text. When read, it'll sound different to the ears but the meanings same.

It's part of the protection of the Qur'an from corruption. To annoy you more, if all the copies of the Qur'an are burnt, like your likes always do, there are millions of humans across race and tribes, who have committed the blessed book to memory, sentence by sentence, word by word, letter by letter.

There have been attempts by people way smarter than you to corrupt it, by printing copies of edited texts and called it the Qur'an, every single alteration spotted at first glance. We have them kept in libraries to show the coming generations of the futile efforts of the enemies of the truth.

The Qur'an and the Bible are simply not comparable. How do you compare the Qur'an to a book with numerous versions of differing contents and meanings, a book with verious unknown authors, a book where authors wrote about events that happened after their own deaths

Islam doesn't support liberty of religion. That's why your violent brothers go about forcing Islam on other people!

Read Quran 9:29 and Quran 9:123. Then lie to yourself again that there is liberty of religion in Islam!

It's obvious you know NOTHING about your religion!

Lolll.
Same Islam that says there is no compulsion in religion? That says non Muslims won't worship what Muslims worship and vice versa? That to everyone is his or her religion?

Whatever your agenda is, there are countless others who have towed the same path in the past, in vain!

You simply can't blackmail Islam. You can't conquer it either. You either let it be while you practise any other religion of your choice (Islam has no problem with you not being a Muslim), accept it, or ruin yourself (if you falsely attribute things to it).

Channel your energy to interrogate your own religion. To learn the Roman cultural and paganism basis of your religion. To learn the political and economic themes of what you call religion. To research about your religion and be liberated.

Marvieduke:
A neighbour, who also pleaded anonymity, said: “It was my husband that his son called at about 1am that day that he should come and see his father on the floor.

“When my husband got to their apartment, because we have six flats here, our own is the first while Adimike’s own is the second. My husband got there and saw Adimike on the floor, and he was the one that called the police. The son did not call the police.

“That day, the son was with two ladies and another of his friends.”

Where then is the anonymity?

olabrad:
God is not limited by your reasoning. He can do anything he likes. He can choose to put the Spirit of Jesus in a black man if he so desires, irrespective of lineage. The real God is not like the deity of Muslims that is limited in many ways!

You're right.
Can you go and rest now?

olabrad:
You believe in the Arabian chief deity called allah. You don't believe in God Almighty. Your founder only stole the identity of YHWH and gave it to allah, the Arab chief deity!

If your allah can say "Be" and it will be, why couldn't your founder read after he said jibril commanded him that allah commanded him to read?!

It means allah is giving himself fiaike identity. He can't say Be and it will be! Or maybe it was your founder or jibril that gave your allah a fiaike identity!

Lolll. Stop peddling falsehood.
Stop dabbling into what you're clearly ignorant of. You know nothing about Islam. Stop misinforming people.

Even if he believes in spoon and fork, how does it affect you? Is it your belief?

If the noblest of mankind, Prophet Muhammad, didn't read, were you the one reading from the scriptures to pray and teach people about Islam on his behalf?

If you're not satisfied with your religion, explore others. There are about 10,000 religions on earth today.

Everyone has liberty of religion. You don't have to blackmail other religions to advance yours. Those who sold your religion to you used that tactics and it failed. If others practice "fake" religions, does it affect you?

If you're certain that your religion is the true one, continue with it. Invite others to it with respect and leave them alone if they don't want.

Same way you feel about other religions is same way others feel about yours. Let everyone wait till the day of judgement for the truth.

I seriously don't know why Islam gives you such level of insomnia. There are over 9000 others, face them too
From the days of crusaders to perfidious and pilfering colonialists, to orientalists, to islamophobes. What exactly did Islam take from you?

You're clearly a product of the works of your predecessors, the orientalists but I can only pray for you to end like Leopold Weiss, Pickthall, Rene Guenon, Martin Lings, Julius Germanus etc. These are some of the orientalists who, when they researched about Islam to a point, they abandoned their initial mission of distorting and creating a biased narration of it, and accepted Islam. They died as Muslims

There is simply no way an open minded person will learn about Islam and not become a Muslim. The evidences are too compelling. This is one of the reasons you won't find Muslims knocking on people's doors, distributing pamphlets, preaching inside commercial buses and public spaces, building schools to change non Muslims' names etc.

Only a true religion can survive all the above and keep expanding rather than dwindle

olabrad:
You know that Abraham killed ram because of available records

Show me.any record that says Isaac killed ram. Show me evidence that any of Isaac's children killed rams. Show me record that says anybody in Arabia killed ram.before your founder copied bible and lied that he got revelation.

Show me record that showed that your founder killed ram before he started receiving his fake revelations!

Show me.records.instead of defending a fiake religion!



Your alllla said book of Christians called Gospel is a true Holy book. Are you saying your allla is approving book of a Roman paganism religion?!

Are you saying your allla doesn't know what he is doing or saying?!

There are 2 simple issues.
1. Show me evidence that say they didn't. Isn't this simple?

2. I hope you know that many chapters of your bibles were single handedly written by Paul and a lot of others by unknown authors. Before you argue this, read the preface of KJV, oh follower of a cocktail of Paul's ideologies and Roman paganism

olabrad:
Hope you know that Islam is Arab paganism?!

Did Abraham or his son kill ram in subsequent years after the first time?

No!

So, what are you guys copying by killing ram every year?!

Were you there?

If no, bring evidences that they didn't kill ram in subsequent years.

Meanwhile, I hope you know that Christianity is Roman paganism?

Ben4sure97:
Finally, strive to bring peace between your mother and your step-mother.

God bless you.

Let him steer clear of this. Lolll
It's a beef way beyond him before he'll incur the anger of his biological mom.

Na women dey do co-wive rivalry. Him no be woman na, especially when his stepmom seems nice.

He should just be very good to his step mom and keep the details of such good relationship from his mom

He shouldn't even say anything good about the step mom in the presence of his mom.

Na tactics

Abbeytoy:
Last year, I posted about the Ram my stepmother got for me cheaply even when my mom does not support dealing with her; this year follow suit, and she has delivered another banger.

Although I have walked around the market to price Ram, unfortunately the price is so outrageous, and I can't even stand it.

This gives me the idea to plan my budget, and I gave her 800k for 3 rams with the hope that if I am not comfortable, I will buy one Ogunfe to support it. And here is what she delivered...

Seriously, I don't know how to appreciate her enough, but my mom is not comfortable with the RAM and said it's too small for that amount...

All this, my mother doesn't go out or know what things are being said in the market, but she keeps annoying me with her resistance to the good gesture of my stepmother.

Please, what do you guys think about the price?

Here is the link to last year's Ram: https://www.nairaland.com/8444225/got-these-3-rams-500k

Note that the first picture is for my father and already delivered to him, and the other 2 is for me and my mom and she stays with me.

May we all be preserved beyond next year, give your mom the task of sourcing for them next year.

You need to seriously appreciate your step mom. These 3 rams will easily sell for at least 1m.

260k rams are way smaller than this,even in the state capitals of many northern states.

And you dont think this is a big deal?

for the applicant? Yes!
For USA? No!

Seems we've forgotten that it's their country, their policies, and laws.

RodgersAkpafu:
The bolded is not true
There is A LOT to lose

Because perception is everything
Once a country becomes hostile, talent leaves

And NO, American postgraduate and research fields cannot operate at its cutting edge rate without the myriad of esp STEM talent that flooded the country unis.

If they leave, US unis will be done for

Like I said in your other mention, you are clearly ignorant of the subject matter.

Non immigrant visas still exist for exchange, fellowships, research etc. What they're saying is, if you want to change to immigrant, return home to process. All these info are in the public. Part of the conditions of non immigrant visa is return home after your program. Non immigrant Visa policies robustly cater for all these nonexistent excuses you're raising.

There are other visa categories to take care of real talents. Once again, they have relatively nothing to lose. Ever since the visa ban and freeze, what have they lost? What did they lose in his first tenure of immigration tightening?

The angle I expected you to be arguing from would be the revenue loss, sweeping ban/freeze affecting at least 91 countries (which is like asking affected people to return to consular offices that have been halted), or the common cliche that USA is a country of immigrants bla bla. Unfortunately, you're not coming from any.

FYI, I have an active EB petition but let's tell ourselves the truth. So, if anything, I will be a beneficiary of an open door immigration policy from USA.

RodgersAkpafu:
you must be joking with this statement

You clearly don't know the meaning of the policy. Lolll

Kingray10:
If you go back to your home country to apply, the US embassy will reject you.

It depends on your situation before applying for adjustment of status.

E.g someone on dual intent visa like H1B won't have any problem other than having to remain in home country till green card is approved.

Only visa fraud and illegal migrants would be axed

RodgersAkpafu:
And how will America attract talent with this level of hostility?

These guys are hell bent on destroying America

Let's not deceive ourselves, they have nothing to lose overall. Those already inside can run the system plus they're not saying people shouldn't come on non immigrant visa routes, but must return home to jump ship.

But on an emotional note, it's a bad immigration policy for immigrants and intending immigrants. For me, Trump is simply doing what he promised to do. Interestingly, a lot of immigrants home and abroad, supported his election.

Everyone should enjoy his policies, wait till 2028, and hope for democrat's victory with their migration friendly ways.

Bye bye to adjustment of Status.
Researchers, doctors, students, and their derivatives looking to adjust status axed.

No hiding spot again. Either return to home country and join immigrant visa queue, a lot of which are retrogressed or remain out of status in USA.

Pink man again!

That's not rejection. All these quack journalism.
The cut off set by JAMB is just the minimum benchmark below which no institution is allowed to go.

Institutions are allowed to set their individual cut off above it.

dibunotion:
South East no try at all. No other candidates has 25%

Sadly, they won't agree how bigoted that kind of politics is.
Like, PDP that the SE has supported for decades couldn't get 25%. Other candidates didn't have supporters as little as 25% of the voters? We're not talking about winning, 25%.
Yet they want the world to believe there was no opposition votes' suppression and rigging for LP in that region.

They would rather accuse SW of tribalism. Same SW that produced APC candidate, yet gave 2 states to his opponents.

Some things aren't just logical.

What's the chestbeating and comparison about on incarceration matter?

Armaggedon:
you think FUOYE is more prestigious than many second generation federal universities? Is it even more established than ekiti state university? No! The simple reason it has far more applicants than ekiti state university is that EKSU's fee is three times higher than FUOYE. You think if afe babalola fee is cheaper than FUOYE ekiti people won't flood it? It's more about affordability. It's not exactly the same way in the east.

I don't think, I know.
Your reasoning is wrapped in tribal supremacist colouration rather than the obvious and facts. With your argument, do you mean good private universities in the East have more Igbo students than UNN,UNIZIK and co?

A rich man, irrespective of tribe, will seek the best education for his children anyhwere. This has absolutely nothing to do with tribe. As low as literacy level in the North seems, Baze and Nile universities in Abuja are dominated by Northern students. Rich Northerners pay huge to send their children to schools in Egypt, Turkey, even Sudan.

FUOYE as we type is more prestigious than a lot of second generation universities. You can make your findings.

Go to the campuses of those schools on the list, you can conveniently say something loudly in Yoruba and get a random person to answer you, even those outside the SW. That you claimed Easterners form the highest population of students in SW private Unis confirms your ignorance of the topic. You clearly have not been to any of these schools before. I seriously doubt you have been to more than 2 tertiary institution campuses before. You obviously lack the necessary exposure for the discourse and I'm sorry I won't reply your further mention.

Go to any good private institution anywhere in this country, Yorubas are very many there. They are the most numerous in those expensive ones in SW especially.

Once again, If you want to lure the Yorubas, simply build a school where you want them to be. Not only in Nigeria but anywhere on this planet, they do education best,they have hacked it.

naijapikin2:
I believe that traveling and other forms of interaction musy be a factor. Meanwhile the north is not as innocent as some make it to seem

what has innocence got to do with the number of people living with HIV?

Unprotected coitus with an infected partner is just one of the many ways of contracting the virus.

It's a shame that you as the op of the thread has such a distorted and stigma promoting notion.

If anything, you expect regions with high polygyny, illiteracy, and poverty rates to have higher numbers.
Marriage to an infected person who doesn't know his or her status makes it easy to quickly spread it to others in that household.

Sharing sharps (local barbers, circumcision, unhygienic body piercing and acupuncture which are all very common in that region), transmission from mother to child (North at higher risk because of low level of status awareness and high rate of home birth leading to low PMTCT uptake).

Equating HIV prevalence to promiscuity or "non-innocence" isn't only primitive, it's evil, and promote stigma which increases the disease burden.

Poor journalism from Punch in recent times

Adblg0610:
I think this deal is a bit different. The Chinese are to provide the funds and their technical expertise to rehabilitate, operate and possibly expand the capacities of the two refineries in the future. It is based on Technical Equity Partnership (TEP), which does not cost Nigeria a dime.

Thanks for the explanation. With who I know a typical Chinese to be, I strongly doubt any Chinese will enter into such deal.
I believe there is a lot the government isn't telling us.

Kog45:
Well insecurity but University of Ilorin is losing it due to Ilorinalization,good courses are for Ilorin indigene not even Kwara indigene not to talk of other states.

The implosion of federal institutions in Ilorin is a matter of time, definitely inevitable unless they correct the observation you raised above.
UNILORIN and UITH especially are experiencing it already. They have almost grounded UITH.

Institutions where merit is sacrificed for nepotism can never develop. Any developed and efficient system anywhere in the world today is being maintained mostly by competent "outsiders" and the host communities remain the highest gainers.

Prof Oloyede, an Ogun man, took UNILORIN from the days where no one wanted them. The days when they beg people with admissions and projected it to be mentioned with A list schools.
The school is witnessing gradual decline rn

Armaggedon:
I Will tell you the reason. It borders more on the affordability of higher education in the southwest. The cheaper the school in the southwest, the more the demand. It's not about prestige or education tourism. most native southwesterners choose schools based on cost. That is why federal universities in the southwest dominate the list including the new one in oye ekiti unlike the east where people are more willing to explore states and even private unis. Easterners form a very significant, if not the highest student population of southwest private unis and then form an overwhelmingly majority of the student population in the fast emerging private university education sector in the east.

There are several factors that resulted in this stat but affordability issues pushed native southwesterners into cheaper federal unis, leaving their private unis and that of the east for Easterners to occupy. You can confirm this from southwest nelfund application figures.

You're sha cooking the "facts" in your head to make you feel good.
There is this saying that if you want to lure a Yoruba man, build a school where you want him to be. Cost is the least of the factors driving those people's choice of where to study. Typical SW parents will sell belongings and inheritance to send children to good schools.

And yes, SW has most high quality schools. See that FUOYE dragging top spots with first generation schools? It's a 4th or 5th gen school established during Jonathan period. None of the ones established together with it can move close to it today. This shows the kind of attention those people give to schools.

Quite a number of people from other geopolitical zones making waves had contact with SW education. Lolll.
Check those top UTME scorers and see where they had their secondary education.

There are other things the zone may not have, there is no perfect society but you see education, they have hacked it

koxyz:
LASU always give preference to Lagos Indigenes over others.

So, they should build and run the school with Lagos resources and give preference to people from other states who give preference to their own indigenes too, thereby leaving Lagos indigenes stranded.
State and private institutions are at liberty to decide their preference criteria.

Even federal schools have catchment areas

This is really sad and we pray for the return of peace and tranquility to every inch of our country.

When we criticize this government, this exactly is what we mean but blind supporters would start reeling out things with zero impact on the average citizen.

For me, any government where citizens' welfare is poor is a failed government. Today, families are suffering with anguish and pains of insecurity, inflation, amidst insensitive government spendings.

Personally, I don't mind another president doing exactly what this present government is doing but allowing Tinubu to continue will be the height of disrespect to the wellbeing of the people. It'll be like, "we can make you suffer and there is nothing you can do!". We need to send him packing so that subsequent governments will know that there are consequences of ignoring the people's wellbeing.

If leaders know that people can vote them out for poor performance, they will sit up.
Anybody but APC is fine come 2027.

I hope Obi's supporters won't blow away this partnership. Regardless of who is on the billboard, is the goal not to get the votes for the NDC which Obi is the candidate. Also, it's a joint ticket, a vote for Kwankwaso is a vote for Obi. The billboard might have been made by a supporter without the knowledge of Kwankwaso.

Obi is a hard sell in the core North, NW especially. If you truly want results, you simply can't market him directly to the average Northern voter, you have to attach him to a trusted Northerner's image. The trust gap is wide, very wide.

Good thing is, he doesn't even need to win those states, he just need to garner something significant and 25%. This mob-like actions of his supporters don't build alliance. Kwankwaso doesn't really have anything to lose if OK ticket fails in 2027. He's just paving way for his 2031 contest knowing fully well that his chances are slim in APC. He simply needs the next viable platform to run. Obidients might say, if he doesn't work well for OK to win now, they won't support him in 2031, that will further widen the trust gap for future aspirants from that axis.

All these "I'm the better candidate" mindset will cause more harm than good. Afterall, it's democracy where a Prof and an absolute illiterate are entitled to same one vote each. Nothing like the "better" vote.

Time to waste some billions of dollars of our commonwealth again

What do you expect.
Majority of the analysts here don't have 300k in their accounts as we type, infact, not all have 30k their accounts

It's actually a dicey situation and depends on op's options. Not a direct answer.

Nigeria's business environment and economy is extremely volatile. One systemic failure event (health crisis, business shock, security breach etc) will turn 30m into dust.

You will notice all of them keep saying "business, invest" bla bla without being specific. Again, Naija biz environment is very unstable.

God's guidance to the op
