She still wants favors because she be woman.

I hate this kind of intro. It's a signature of manipulators. Today, "let me have my way because I'm a woman". Tomorrow, "men and women are equal, gender equality".
Anything done to her type is because "she's a woman", no matter how fair or just so far it doesn't align with her desire

Kayberg:
Kenyans hating Nigerians? It's only some of their men that does that… not their women.

An average Kenyan does not like us. I just returned from Kenya yesterday. At a point, I got frustrated and employed the first attack tactics by raising safety concerns about every place I visited first, pushing them to admit that there are bad Kenyans and offer tips on how to be safe before they would now mention the bad Nigerians.The annoying part is that, all of those I interacted with never had first hand experiences of the supposed evils of Nigerians, neither do they personally know any victim. They keep spreading the rumor and expressing fear once they know you're a Nigerian.

There is a YouTube video with its caption about Nigerian murderers and drug dealers in Ruaka (a suburb of Nairobi), the video didn't contain anything like the caption. The blackmail among Kenyans is annoying and I'm not sure I want to ever visit that country again. There is nothing they have that Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, or Ethiopia doesn't have.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians, their men especially.

God bless the pilot.

Lukgaf:
Have you ever given birth to a child or attended a naming ceremony (Aqeeqah)? If so, when did it take place? Most times, we assume the naming must be done on the same day of the following week i.e. Sunday to Sunday, Monday to Monday, and so on. But is this accurate?

In truth, this common practice often misses the mark.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
"A child is held in pledge for his Aqeeqah, which should be slaughtered for him on the seventh day..."
— (Abu Dawood 2838, Tirmidhi 1522)

So, the key question is: How do we properly count the seventh day?

Islamically, a new day begins after Maghrib (sunset), not at midnight as widely assumed. This has important implications:

➡️ If a child is born before Maghrib on Sunday, then Sunday counts as Day 1. That means the Aqeeqah should be on Saturday, not the next Sunday.

➡️ If the child is born after Maghrib on Sunday, then Monday is Day 1, and the seventh day falls on the following Sunday.

❗️What does this tell us?

We need to stop following culture blindly and start aligning our actions with authentic Sunnah. It’s okay if we were unaware before, but once we receive correct knowledge, we should make a change.

“When evidence comes, we must submit.”

As Muslims, this is the attitude that will keep us on the right path.

May Allah grant us sound knowledge, sincerity, and the ability to act upon the Sunnah in all aspects of our lives.

BarakaLlahu feekum.

Abu Hafs Lukgaf

A child born after magrib on Sunday (night of Monday) was actually born on Monday which will count as the first day of the seven.

Even Mmesoma issue were from their system they gave the girl two different results, now is not about scaling up the mark but total downgrade and it affected millions of children

They did not give her two results. They gave her one (260sth), she forged the second one(360sth) which she paraded and got the attention of Innoson who contacted her directly and gave her prize.

MTN, and some banks that gave best performers prizes contacted JAMB for the list of top scorers which is what any refined organization would do. The original highest scorer had 360 or so and from same state as Mmesoma (Anambra)

If the 19yr old lady that committed suicide was among the affected, I think the registrar and head of the department/unit concerned should resign and the lady's family heavily compensated while the affected service provider heavily sanctioned too.

Of course nobody would have known if they refused to listen to the complaints, as was the case under Prof 'Dibu Ojerinde. I'm very certain this isn't the first time this error would be happening. With this, I'm not sure I can trust the board again.

If I were the president, I'm banning JAMB from conducting exams with immediate effect. Schools should conduct their entrance exams while JAMB performs oversight, collation, and admission harmonization duties alone.

fayomim:
This a long time problem before Tinubu coming in as president. i remember vividly around 2021 while coming from Giri, i parked in zuba just to drop one of my colleague then connect to kubwa from there, those touts came out from nowhere and entered my vehicle, some already removing the plate number, Omoh...i paid 15k las las before i was released..

This problem has been there long time ago

Mine was in Zuba too.

I was a victim last year. Those guys are political thugs, dangerous looking. They have ID cards of council and I knew they weren't staff of any council or agency but who argues with fiercely looking hefty men smelling of drugs? One was about to yank off my plate number while another positioned himself close to my side mirror and the other inside the car with me. Any dragging would definitely have costed me a lot, I might end up not paying them but would have ended up spending hundreds of thousand on parts and maybe hospital bills. It was an horrible experience.
They requested 30k or so. I ended up parting with 3k while being extremely diplomatic to prevent things from getting out of hand
They later said they should give me passengers to my route so that I can use the fare to level up. I was like, "does this resemble a cab?" Maybe the passengers are their folks who will corner person for road, kuku collect the car, kidnap, or kpai person. I declined, thanked them and zoomed off.

sulaak:
How do you expect an academic to operate a multi-billion dollar steel plant that doesn't work?

I doubt he has a career in steel industry, that's if he has ever worked in any steel company. As at 2019 or so, he was a lecturer in the department of physics in university of Abuja.

damzy88:
Thanks. I am a virgin by the way.

Make sure you marry a responsible virgin then. They're not as scarce as being portrayed. A virgin guy especially doesn't deserve someone else's left over, especially if he's comfortable, good looking, and with prospect.
Don't let anybody make you feel bad about what you want. Non virgins and some loose ladies will want to make you feel awkward about it, don't mind them. Just be deliberate.
Also, marriage is sweet,very sweet. Ignore anything to the contrary. Welldone and all the best

damzy88:
Hello,

I am a single guy thinking of getting married soon but some of the ladies I am considering having a serious relationship that may lead to marriage with are not virgins. This came as a surprise to me as I thought it will be easy to find a virgin to settle down with.

Should I try to focus on finding the one with best character and settle with or I should continue with my search to find a virgin?

I understand marriage is more than virginity but I am just wondering.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks

Keep searching for a virgin IF you're a virgin too, otherwise focus on who you can tolerate most.

In my opinion, a virgin man deserves nothing but a virgin woman for marriage. Forget about "some virgins have bad character bla bla". If an average virgin is bad, then an average non virgin is worse. I believe every man deserves to legally tear a leather.

Ability to keep one's virginity is a sign of discipline and strong will, especially in this era of heightened level of immorality. The chances of working marriage out with a virgin, whether man or woman is higher than for non virgins. What do you think make an individual to want to keep his or her virginity? The answer is part of what's needed to make a marriage work. Part of the benefits include, zero "past/baggages", reduced paternity fraud risk, increased loyalty chances, high reproductive health prospect, etc

I was a virgin at marriage and I married a virgin. Praise be His, I feel like paying her bride price again every single day.

id4sho:
Till date no justice to Deborah Samuel Yakubu, the christian student murdered by Muslim mob. The criminal case against the perpetrators was later dropped

Not even Tinubu will get justice when dead. It continues happening in circle. This country is a zoo🤷

Till date, no case was instituted against the christian murderers of Harirah Jubril, a pregnant Muslim woman, and her 4 children killed in Ezira, Anambra state. Not a single arrest was reported on the matter.

Again, 16 Muslims have been killed by Christian mob in Edo state.

Every adherent of Islam condemns jungle justice, the murder of Deborah Samuel Yakubu and every other person killed extrajudicially irrespective of their faith, tribe, or affiliation.

kitombo:
Makinde is right on this. A Sharia panel for Muslims is not a court of law, it's just an alternate dispute resolution mechanism for consenting Muslims. Some Churches too have committee that resolve dispute among members who present themselves to them according to Christian ethics and practices.

It's as simple as this. I seriously don't know why some people are having sleepless nights over it. The Muslims among them, it's understandable. They're probably perpetrators of evil and aware of the shariah rulings on the evils they do but I don't understand why a non Muslim would stress himself over shariah panel. It doesn't even concern him at all!

Hamziyah:
Why would anyone drag you to Shari'a court in the first instance?
The issue of Shari'a is simple, but the mischief makers and thieves amongst us are the ones against it.
Let's assume a Muslim takes inheritances of orphans of Muslim parents unjustly, whether he wishes to be tried under Shari'a or not, he must abide by the Shari'a rulings.
Forget about all these cut hands and legs or fulani propaganda, Shari'a has to do with Islamic rulings and if it's rightly applied, it's beneficial.

Don't mind them.
He wants to steal millions and prefers a system that will jail him for 6months or probably with an option of N5000 fine.
He wants to kill and be tried in a court that will allow him to live afterwards.
He wants to deny a girl child her rights to inheritance and be tried in a court that will say it's the custom.
He wants to be an irresponsible husband/father and wants a system that will ask the woman to share bills with him.
He wants to go on fornication/adultery spree, turn to complain about moral decadence but want a system that will say it's reproductive rights.

spencekat:
Less than five percent.

and they aren't humans? Their rights are insignificant?
The hypocrisy! <5% Christian population in some northern communities deserve justice but <5% Muslim population in the East are inconsequential.

Deborah Samuel's life in Sokoto deserves justice but lives of Harirah Jubril with her 4 children (Fatimah, Khadija, Hadiza, Zaituna) killed in Ezira, Anambra do not deserve justice. These two cases happened barely 2weeks apart.
The Christian community easily blamed the religion of Deborah's murderers while the religion of the murderers of Harirah and her children shouldn't be blamed. How about we call for all murderers to be brought to book? Should sanctity of lives be dependent on their faith?

Until we are all unanimous in condemning evil in its totality, irrespective of who are involved, it's mere hypocrisy.

descartes400:
Or

Between a Muslim and a Christian, can the muslim drag a christian to a shari'a court if the Christian doesn't consent to it but prefer the conventional court?

Why will a Muslim drag a Christian to a shariah court?
It's unfortunate that you people aren't approaching this matter with neutral minds. It's more unfortunate that most of you aren't willing to learn.

That someone isn't a Muslim means he doesn't want shariah and he's free to utilize the secular law.

This whole thing started as a panel, an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) route for willing Muslims. Just like many other ADR mechanisms everywhere but this one is "bad" because it's Islamic. Now, it has been made obvious that a court status isn't difficult afterall which will be the next.

What happens to Muslims who do not want to be tried in non Islamic courts?

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has condemned the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi over his visit to legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola SAN.


https://dailypost.ng/2024/12/10/dele-farotimi-sowore-condemns-peter-obis-visit-to-afe-babalola/

Farotimi needs the interventions of people like Obi for a softlanding, otherwise, his jail terms will be longer than river Nile.

I don't understand how supposed schooled people prefer emotions and sentiments over civility. From whatever dimension you might look at it, the odds are against Farotimi and Chief Afe's terms were simple, "prove or recant". Seems some people didn't read the said defamation in the book. Those were too heavy without proof. You can't just wake one day and say grave things about someone without you giving evidences. It's even more annoying that it's coming from a lawyer. He didn't stop at that, he dragged the Supreme court into it. If Chief Afe let it slide, I'm sure the NJC won't, they're just watching.

idanone:
Na religion dey blind them my brother

the core north is supposedly more religious than them yet very accommodating. If you say it's culture, the Yorubas whose culture majority of those in Ilorin use are very accommodating. I don't seem to find an explanation to the locals' hostility in that place.
I spent almost 3 years there. I'm not sure I want to pass 3 nights in that place again.

idanone:
Them suppose to arrest her self, those Ilorin teachers are very useless and proud, believe me na ordinary NCE holder she go be like that.

I have never lived in a place with non-accommodating locals like Ilorin. From the University to work environment, most of them make you want to leave like immediately. Most of them believe they can treat strangers anyhow and nothing will happen. Imagine just demoting the teacher who turned an academic environment into a motor park, that says alot about how even their leaders see things like this. She should not only be sacked, but be charged to court and given the maximum penalty. This is needed to make the students who witnessed the unfortunate incident realise the gravity.
I can bet it that she would be restored to her normal level after few months, that's if it's not audio demotion in the first place.

LilNetty:
Please I need your candid advice.

My wedding is coming up in some months and I need your advice. My fiancé and her family are insisting on court wedding which I don’t want to object to. I should have moved on but she pregnant. What can I do?

If you are sure you don't want court wedding, don't let anyone push you into it. Resist it.
If you're undecided, I will advise you reject it.
If you reject it and they insist, hold your ground too. By the time their daughter is heavy, they will beg you to come carry her and do the most important (traditional wedding).
How some bride's families want to call the shots in matters like this tho, abi na she dey "wed" you?
Just so you know, if you allow this to sail, they will man your home for you in the future. Your opinions won't count in your own house.

Who don't you want to object if I may ask?

SkylineFrozen:
Good morning everyone, Late last year, I bought 5 acres of farmland from ijebu -Igbo from him on behalf of a friend while I also bought 2 acres for myself. Prior to then, I took time out to go view the farmland, met Lesgupnigeria in person and also interact with him one-on-one. Since January I kept asking him when preparation for the farmland will start and he kept telling me it is not time yet. Along the line, I had a medical need that requires me to keep going to the hospital and so couldn’t have time, so I asked Lesgupnigeria (Mr Wale) about managing the farms for both myself and my friend. He said we will need to sign the farm management agreement. He sent it to us and I signed mine but my friend delayed a bit but eventually signed his but Mr Wale has not forwarded back his own signed copy despite asking him severally. Below are my issues with him.

1. I paid for 7 acres, when we brought our own surveyor, only 5 acres was seen.

2. ⁠I paid for clearing which was charged at N55,000 per acre and an extra N10,000 for packing and burning what was cleared. The clearing was shabbily done, it didn’t even look like it was cleared at all. The packing and burning wasn’t done. He said because it rained and that instead shrubs were cut for N180,000 and he used the N70,000 meant for packing and burning for that and was even asking for an extra N110,000 saying we owed him that. Pls note that he never asked me if he could go ahead and do that. He didn’t ask me if the funds was available for that, yet he went ahead, against our initial agreement and expect me to cough out N110,000. Moreso, if clearing was done properly, “shrubs” like he put it should have been cleared with it.

3. ⁠He said we will pay for perimeter survey, later he called it perimeter measurement and we were charged at N40,000 per acre which totalled N280,000 altogether which was paid. When I went there, all that was used as landmark was a tree standing on its own o which Mr Wale showed me. I have a video of that. I complained but nothing was done. No provisional copy given for the perimeter measurement. How come?

4. ⁠Lesgupnigeria rushed me to say if we don’t plant by June ending that we will need to do irrigation, and said we will need to plant 1,000 suckers on each acre, and he said per sucker is N270 so i paid N1,890,000 ( One million, eight hundred and ninety thousand naira) for suckers. There was no evidence of that when I asked. No video evidence to show the vehicle bringing the suckers or the suckers being offloaded. he got offended for asking him for evidence. Note that he also charged me N300,000 for transporting the suckers from Ibadan to the farm. At the farm, the suckers planted is not up to 7,000 from my assessment. I challenge him to prove me wrong.

5. ⁠Lesgupnigeria (Mr Wale) also told me that I will need 5 bags of fertiliser at the rate of N14,000 each which totalled N70,000 as well as an extra N15,000 for transporting it to the farm. He said the fertiliser will be used as they were planting the suckers. Pls house, is this done this way?

Doubts started arising when Mr Wale couldn’t provided some evidences I requested for. He also started ignoring my calls sometimes. He started getting less cordial. My friend wasnt happy with the feedbacks I was giving so we had to make an arrangement for a different surveyor and that was when we discovered the farmland isn’t up to 7 acres. I sent Mr Wale a message but he didn’t respond for 3 days.

Then I was advised to call him on phone. He claimed I didn’t know where my farmland ended. Ok now show me, but he has been playing games with me since then. Now he is saying he won’t be available to show me the farmland but that he has delegated someone else to show me. It is not like he has ever introduced me to anyone before. He never gave me anyone’s number so is it a ghost that will show me my farm?

I called him severally yesterday morning, he didn’t pick nor return my calls. I had to call him again in the evening before he picked the call on the 8th dial and his excuse was that he left his phone in the car. Smh! You left your phone in the car since morning? A phone with a sim line that you use for your daily calls, WhatsApp etc?

He gives the impression that he has workers but I don’t think he does. He makes you pay for farmland and thereafter become less cordial with you. HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!

I am challenging him to show me my farmland and also show that he planted 7,000 suckers on 7 acres.

The united states is not an oil rich country. Most of all thier reserves were purchased from oil producing nations. And your darling Nigeria use to be one of them. Today they have enough oil that could last them 200years. That is a country with vision. Whilst buying from us, we squandered the money. Now they have more than enough to sell back to us and make profits.

Stop misinforming people chief. You can search the world largest crude oil producers. How will you say USA isn't an oil rich country? They purchased most of their reserves that can last them 200years, where do you think they can store that? Google USA annual crude consumption and multiply it by even 50 (not 200) and see if you're making sense.

Removing the Beef subsidy

Potential Impact on Beef Prices
Implementing large-scale ranching could significantly increase the cost of beef due to the high expenses associated with establishing and maintaining ranches.These would make Nigerian cows too expensive for purchase as cows from Niger and other neighboring countries practicing open grazing will be cheaper in the open market.

Suggested Practical Solutions
Designated Grazing Areas: Allocate specific areas for grazing to prevent clashes while allowing pastoralists to continue traditional herding methods.
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Establish local committees to mediate disputes between farmers and herders, promoting peaceful coexistence.
Cooperative Farming: Encourage farmers and herders to form cooperatives, sharing resources and knowledge to improve productivity and harmony.
Community-Based Animal Health Services: Provide mobile veterinary services to support herders, reducing the need for long migrations and potential conflicts.
These solutions aim to be cost-effective and fair to both cattle herders and farmers, ensuring sustainable practices and reducing conflicts.

As beautiful as this your write up would have been, the last part in black spoilt it.
The SE man running his shop in Katsina, is he paying rent or he just encroaches on any unoccupied land? Is he paying tax or not?
Comparing private businesses with occupation of Aso rock or FCT minister makes one think you copied the initial part of the write up from somewhere because, to accept that all of the write up emanated from the same brain is difficult.
Is anybody complaining about a Fulani herder who rents land for grazing in the South?
