emmysenior: Mr Peacock or Pocock! Whatever ur name is, I hope you re not insulting us by those fictitious comments of urs?

You are saying the same thing na, abi how you dey even look @ us sef? You think say we no sabi english?

If only our country has a good standard of living that cuts across all walks and spheres of lives. Wetin we go dey find 4 una cold ridden, sun-less, tax-studded country?

you guys shld be reasonable with ur assessment of things. What if it was d other way around. Wht wld Nigerua ve done. This country is setting up protectionism measures 4 themselves and u r here crying fowl.

U ve a situation where Nigerians go there and over stay their terms of agreement, then bcome a costly nuisance to them and u think there is nothing wrong with tht. We r still crying over the negative effects of illigal immigrants from the North in our country Nigeria. Most Nigerians are screaming for the borders to be closed. There is nothing wrong with this. But you feel others shld not protect themselves simply because ur country is poor and theirs is rich.

Advise ur country men to stay put and develop their homeland, then u wont ve to be embarrased by policies like this.

If u r confident tht u ll not overstay ur agreement then pay the money and it ll be given back to u when u keep ur part of the bargain.

Nigeria did this to itself not the UK.

barcanista: oga nothing is coming to pass. Na so them begin LIE say na President Obama be anti-christ, now them want shift gear. 2015 will come and go, No anti-christi will show up. Na today we don de hear anti-christ?

my brother I tire.

Yungprinzet: This 2015 of a tin scares me alot coz of d many tinz it entails. Election,single currency,new world order,etc. Mmmm, I pity most of u that are in support of dis Single Currency rubbish. Have u 4gtn so fast the prophecy in Revelation talking abt the world spending a single currency & no transaction without the mark of the beast 666. Most people would evn collect the mark with open arms. I'm sorry 4u, instead of u 2 repent ur ways & pray that this plan should not come 2 pass. U are there celebratin destruction. Mmmm, may the Lord av mercy on us all.AMEN

if it has been prophecied, then it ll surely come to pass, whether you pray against it or not. If it does not come to pass, it means Revelation lied. So why d fuss over something u can't stop from happening?

Pls can some one help educate us a bit more on the real implicatns. Does this mean we ll no longer use the Nigerian Naira? If so what then ll Nairaland be called? Ecoland?;(

abysirius: Nomoreloss is only trying to protect his image. We av so many online auditors in naija that are already calculating for them what they should av in a/c and knowing fully well that he will be called to account for all expenses...#false rumours won't help.

thanks bro. Sensible talk indeed.

pDude: Nna Na WA o

Wetin be nomoreloss own sef? Even if Tuface didn't contribute that amount, must he come out on social media and fall Tuface hand like that?

Jealousy go kill some people. It is obvious Nomoreloss is jealous of Tuface.

na wa 4 u. As the 'head of the comitee' on donation it is his 'duty' to inform the people of the truth. I'd to make sure I read the twitter account itself to make sure he was'nt just talking on his own ( which I'm sure u did not do b4 making this jealous and callous comment). I believe he had consulted other comittee members b4 making tht statment.
Why do people like u ve to always sensationalize things? There was an untruth flying around and it had to be corrected. Has tuface himself complained abt nomorloss statement. Do u ve to color it with ur own sentiment?
Leave nomoreloss alone let him do his job. Stop painting d wrong impression into d minds of people.

adetsim: I like this comment. God bless you.

are you aware of the amount of churches and pastors already in the US today.

'And the rich man says to Abraham "let me go back to my brothers and warn them", but Abraham says to him "they are already enough pastors and preachers out there to warn them".

You do not sow seeds where it has already been sowed.

idnoble135: Am excited by this. Christians every where should learn to give God the praise for the spread of the gospel and the great success it achieves. It does not have to be your church or pastor before you thank God.
Its the Father's business. Thank you Father!

and if Americans should ask them ''what 'visible' positive value have you added to the society where you are coming from that you intend to bring here''. What will be their answer?

westbuoi: we sure might commonise this but the times r changing globally and we will b a part of it!!!

If the alleged N125million was actually spent on a party by a public servant,then the masses have the right to question the source of funds through public protests.The Arab spring and most recently Brazil have not experienced a quater of this corruption level and yet there were massive protests that ended up with a winning voice.

If you guys have forgotten,a few crucial negative indices are stated below
-graduates being employed and paid N40k/month
-no water,light,good roads
-manufacturing sector completely dead
-selling of oil blocks to single individuals
-embezzlement of pension funds(not govt funds but past employees savings)
-entering law school officially over 300k
-insecurity,armed robbery and prostitution
-children as young as 10yrs fending for parents from hawking
-not a single functional refinery
-educational sector completely degraded
-the disguised use of religion by politians to cause division along ethnic lines
-Health care far below standards
-Graduates being bus conductors,mechanics ,brick layers etc...(for real bro)

please mind you mates,the rich also suffer in this country(middle class I mean),you get a house in the best places like Lekki,only to come back from work and put on gens that hardly allow you sleep...

How I weep for my country....
Nigeria a nation that is supposed to bail out most African countries in distress yet the life of an average Nigeria is worthless in the eyes of our leaders..

I practically find the few mentioned ''crimes'' by the 6th largest producer of crude Oil dreadfully wicked against Nigerians.No wonder one of our late activists described Nigerian leaders as ''demons sent out of hell to torment Nigerias)
Dudes the time to change our nation is now..LET'S RISE UP TO EVERY NEGATIVE TREND...WE CAN,,YES WE CAN AND WE WILL..

it is going to be very dificult to achieve this mass protest u r advocating because 98% of the people who are supposed to protest (Nigerians) are a part of the mess themselves.

If Tinubu where not to be among the guest invited to this party, I am sure he wld ve conveniently used it as a campaign noise against GEJ. This is a man tht has been preaching change.
There are hardly any true principled men amongst these so called leaders. There are all just different shades of grey.

dapojaja: u r religiously a gullible person no offense. what u've heard/witnessed is what scientist called METAPHYSICS and pple r using it to play pranks with religion. it has happened b4, somebody hv given birth to aligator following delivering of twins. ur fellow brother is trying to guide ur heart rather u r insulting him.

e]

just to point out: Metaphysics is a science of the mind. It has nothing to do with physical science. It exists more in the realm of philosophical science. In a matter of fact natural science often rejects this form of science.

N.B. If u read carefuly, the starting of my conversation with ur brother, u wld ve been fair to see tht I nevr intended to insult him in anyway. Then u shld ve considered his first response to my initial post before passing ur judgement.

religiously gullible?
pls do not be in such a hurry to comment. That is exactly thesame mistake ur brother makes.
pls read through the conversations again. Understanding it better, I believe, ll compell u to rephrase ur comments (that is if u are sincere).

N.B. No offence taken bro. I'm too grown for that.

Very good bro. The first one is stunning.

maclatunji: ^Hahahaha, comprehension will always be a problem for people like you who refuse to accept the painfully obvious.

I have fans? If so, I am sure they will love it when I do this-

#Enthralling

yeah, throw rocks at him, if that misses him then pick up your faeces and throw at him.
so not intelligent.

maclatunji: ^Very simple, Medical doctors whom you will agree have a solid foundation in human anatomy and physiology have confirmed that the boy's condition is not a hoax.

In this information age such as the 21st century you couldn't dig up or even goolge up a single instance where this test and proof was mentioned (for a story so big and controversial as tht). Then u had the guts to even give a response such as this. Your arrogance stinks so thick I could cut it with a knife.
It wld ve been wiser of you not to ve responded at all (but yeah, so typical, I cldn't ve expected u not to). A lot of ur fans are reading this guy, they ll be so embarrassed by ur response.

You conveniently missed that and the part where the article indicates that the boy's parents weren't very devout Muslims. How would they then start literally start writing the Qur'an or other Islamic literature on his skin?

Exactly the way some 'non-devout' muslim parents in Nigeria cld claim they delivered a child with the quran (does this not sound surprisingly familiar to you?).

Yes, claiming these miracles came thru non-devout muslims is certainly an intelligent way to put a check on non-muslims doubters giving the excuse tht their Islamic bias makes the miracle questionable.
The truth is that you are just not as intelligent as these people are, but ur pride ll not let u admit it.

Your epistle is not quite good enough to mask your jaundiced opinions. #LOL

Rather than engage u with your own habit, I wld appreciate an intelligent, unbiased observer going thru this conversation so far, say who between us is truly jaundiced here.

I rest my case.

maclatunji: Trying to feel 'smart'. Nothing can explain how urticarial dermographism translates into verses of the Quran and other Islamic literature manifesting on the child's skin.Why did it not manifest random text from your last school assignment for example?

No I'm not trying to feel smart, I simply asked a learned question. It is obvious tht your bias wld not allow u do proper research on the term I gave u.
It is a part of the condition of the skin that the 'gabbage in gabbage out' term easily applies to. It certainly implies tht what evr u write on the skin is what shows up some minutes later and then dissapears after a while. It is not a condition where some random words appear from nowhere. So d point of my refference to tht word is to bring up the question of the possibility of those verses being written by the parents of tht boy (i.e if he hd the condition, d parents cld ve easily taken advantage of it). You can't disprove tht.
It seems u r so quick to want to defend ur bias u miss getting d point tht is being made.

Know when to admit you have been beaten and not belabour the point thereby making a fool of yourself.

you shld ve sensibly glanced thru my previous posts on this forum(NL) b4 rushing to classify me as one of 'them' posters tht u constantly engage in religious kiddies squabbles. I'm not in any way interested in those immature christian vs islam fight tht sparks up your type so easily, so there is no being beaten here.
I did make d error of not mentioning tht I'm nt against wht u choose to believe (I shld ve, knowing ur type). Now I'm being insulted for tht error.
You shld be mature enough to believe wht evr miracle u want to, I ve no qualms with tht. What I'm clearly against is u making a claim in a public forum as this of what u can not substantiate. How dare u claim in ur post tht tht so called miracle was 'scientificaly proven'. U know how gullible Nigerians can be (especialy on religious matters) and how ur words can be taken as it is without proper research. Tht was careless and wrong of you (or was it intentional?).
Someone of ur reputiation (a mod) on a large public forum such as this shld be more careful with wht he posts.

Rather than address my question u instead thot it wise to turn this into a me against u matter (very typical), and then end ur respnse in the way u did so tht ur fellow religious followers(fans) can sing ur praise as the 'one who won d battle'. Life is nt always abt 'versus' guy.
Pls be more mature in ur response next time.

There was and is still no scientific proof for tht miracle as claimed by u. If u choose to believe it, tht is ur religious prerogative, just don't pass wrong information and impression to others, it is very unIslamic.
Humble urself and apologise for ur error as a true muslim should, not to me but to evry one tht has read and believed tht ur comment.

N.B. Have you ever asked urself what happened to that boy and the claim? Even the controversies tht it sparked among'st muslims themselves?
Of course u ve not, your bias will not let you.

maclatunji: There is actually a kid whose skin does come-up with Quranic verses that is scientifically proven not to be hoax. It is such a scientific approach that I would like to see in Nigeria.

I had thought you wld ve given a link to where, when and by whome this was scientificaly proven to be true rather than pictures only.
Have you evr heard of the term 'urticarial dermographism'. Pls research on this term carefuly.

As I ve researched, the parents of the child never submited him for scientific scrutiny. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

golpen: ....made them enjoy the equal civil rights entitled to the muslims. And that is how it has been everywhere where there's an Islamic system of government.

seriously?

DANILSA: Minister: Do you take this man to be your
husband?
Bride: I do.
Minister to Groom: Do you take this woman to be
your wife?
Bride: He does.

The man na deaf and dumb?

guy u no understand. Tht man no wan marry the girl.

What these youths are doing could be comended, but the Governemnt shld at thesame time be wise to monitor and control their activities. The more organised youths like these gets the more difficult it is to disband them after the goal as been achieved (history has given us enough lessons).

Power corrupts and grattitude is a noisy bed fellow.

golpen: I am not condemning their homo laws because it is compatible with some religion aside with Islam, but I'll condemn it with my words because it is anti-Islamic. Anyway, encouragement or banning of homo acts is their choice as a country, benefiting some set of people or religions. The question is; Why should Muslims be prevented from wearing what is compatible with their own religion in a secular state of high democracy?

I do sincerely appreciate your stance.

I do not know for sure why France has these laws but I personaly feel tht they are more a protectionism law than a discriminatory one. As a christian, If I had my way as a Government I will first of all ban the use of any christian symbol (be it the cross or what evr), before going to ban other religious symbols (charity they say begins at home). Christ never created the cross, the church did. I believe the use of any symbol or object in worship is pure idolatory.

N.B. The cross has also been banned in government offices and public places in France. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

golpen: This is the simple illustration. You would appoint a teacher, after series of interview, who you think will teach your students the right thing. I don't know about the bible ban in Saudi, but if that's the case, Saudi-arabia is an islamic state and even the unborn knows that, so not allowing the bible into their country is their choice as an ISLAMIC state.

On the other hand, France is a secular state, an HIJAB has been banned, homo marriages have been encouraged with other inhuman acts. What is your comment on that?

my own opinion is this.
If you choose to conveniently give excuse for KSA by asking others to accept the fact that it is an Islamic state, then it is fair tht you should also accept the fact that France is a secular state and shld not condemn their homosexuality laws.

hikmoj: im afraid,4 such a filthy tin should come out of u.in case of moses story, dat one is found in christians'book we neva beliv in dat.all d messengers 4rm Allah hav grades & musa (moses)was among d highest grade.we didnt beliv he could descend so low 2 d extent of smashing d precious laws Allah gave him.may God 4giv u & everyone of us

Since you as a muslim thinks that the sexual part of a man created by the hands of God (Allah) is filthy then please change that term to 'head' so it will sound less filthy for your puritan leaning.

There are places in one of your authorised Islamic books where your Prophet Mohammed speaks of an everlasting stiff for those men that will make it to paradise. Do u call this filthy aswell? What with the double standard?
If the writters of this books diplayed that much maturity to ve included these statements it them, you should show same maturity bro. There is maturity in purity.

Are you saying the Quran denies the authenticity of the Genesis story aswell? If this is true, I am sincerely sorry for my ignorance on this.
Nevertheless, who and when could this story ve been fabricated. It has always been thesame story even before the coming of Mohammed. I do know he advised his followers to believe in the Torah. Pls, do shed more light on this bro.

Offcourse, the Quran will not allow you to believe and accept that the prophets of God were also human with human emotions. The bible teaches that as a fact and that as a consequence gives more honor to God and less to man.
The success of God does not rely on the perfection of the man he uses, rather it solely relies on His(God's) perfection and omnipotence (tht is wht the bible teaches). This is why the bible refused to hide the imperfections of all the men God used in the bible, from Moses through David to Peter, just to show u how powerful He is (all honor be unto God).
It is nothing but human nature in a man to look for perfections in whome he deals with because he is not sure of success by himself. God ll succeed with you regardless of your imperfections, this is wht makes Him God (this is what the bible teaches me).
So, Moses was a short tempered man, and God succeded with him regardless.

I did not mean to offend by my choice of words but I believe my points were clear.

God knows my heart better than you do bro.

We shall leave no stones unturned = case closed.

I ve come to hate that statement from the cells in bloodstream to the hairs on my skin.

.

Maclatunji, deols pls respond to my request.

Hezron Lorraine: did u just say God didn't punish Moses for Smashing the tablets.why then did he not enter into the promised land but was only allowed a view.
Hitting the rock in the widerness of sin which he named Massah and Meriba,also the smashing of the tablets where a clear indication of Moses' hot temperedness and anger.
This two were reasons cited for not seeing the promised land.


The way some people reverence the holy books makes them nothing but idolaterers.the bible and the quran are ordinary printed books.it is your faith in the contents of it that classify them as holy.
Why jail someone for burning the bible or kill another for burning the quran.this is equal as saying that everyone whose bible or quran gets torn or falls into water or falls down should be jailed since they are now exotic books.

pls direct me to the place in the bible where smashing the tablets was clearly stated as the reason for God not allowing Moses to go into the promised land. If you can show me then I ll correct myself.

Pls read Deut 32 vs 48-52 before you reply.

shdemidemi: My bro, there is nothing special in the book, it is like any other book. If you burn it, it will burn like any other paper. The only thing special is your understanding of the content within the book. In fact, if your bible is clean and in its pristine form, you are probably not using it for its original purpose. That does not mean you should not handle the book with care but don't idolise it.

I did not write the post you just quoted as mine. Plse make corrections to that sir.

RedBenson: This is a typical scene of what high rate of unemployment/joblessness is all abt. Coming to a social network by dis time (11:38am) and see young souls busy here doing nothing than finger.ing thier phones/pcs typing unimportant/useless comments show that the economy is jerking and the govt is not helping matters. On an obvious scene, which gainfully employed souls would be here typing irrelevant comments when they've a lot on thier desks to deliver b4 4pm? Na joblessness dey cause am and to help keep the jobless souls busy, thus the emancipation of this forum. Gainfully employed folks only come here at night and chat. This is the result of high rate of unemployment. NA GOVERNMENT CAUSE AM!!!

I would ve taken you seriously if you had been sensible enough to wait till night before making your comment.

Though what u said is partly true, but take note, not evry body is and shld be a 9 to 5er.
