nairalanda1: But you won't vote a government that would improve funding to the police to replace this useless tinubu government.
You will vote for people who are like tinubu but on your side.
You cannot expect effective policing in a country where the national budget is half of what the UK spends on its police alone.
And that is before we talk about the stealing that happens after the budget is passed and the stealing built into the budget.
Nigeria needs a leader who will make us more money and fight corruption. For a nation our size a budget of 30 trillion naira is a disgrace. But so far your opposition is not offering any good solutions ( not that i am going to vote for tinubu again and i hope Nigerians throw apc out in 2027 but Nigeria will keep happening until you guys vote a government of productivity, not sharing money)
but to be sincere Obi cannot do anything, his tenure will be worse, he isnt strong willed, he has ideas but they cant work initially in nigeria. he will only come up with excuses and make nigeria even worse
Sequel to the post Made here about two weeks ago. We've finally found her corpse. I'm really disheartened. My heart is really heavy.
It's so sad that the corpse of my relative(f) who was kidnapped, had just been found dead.
This is one of the most dastardly, inhuman, evil, wicked and heinous acts I have ever heard. She was killed and buried same night that she was abducted. She was buried just behind her house, she wasn't taken anywhere. They buried her in a shallow grave same night. We all had thought that she was taken away. This has never happened in our community. My village has no mobile network, no electricity, not even good roads. We drink water directly from the river, no boreholes. It's a village in all sense of it. It's the strangest thing ever heard, done and seen.
How did they find out?
Two Men in the community were chosen and financially empowered to seek spiritual help to enable us get to find out her whereabout, they met a spiritualist in a different location who asked then to go back home and search her backyard thoroughly. They got back and did as instructed, only to find a shallow grave where she was killed and buried.
This sad event occurred in Benue state.
drill those two men who found her very well, tell tyhem to take you back to the spiritualist since hw can give them her location, he should also give them the location and identity of the killer if not....arrest them all
The policeman in lekki has actually committed a very serious mistake by killing one okada man due to their refusal to give them the okada that they requested for.
In the course of their disagreement, the policeman intentionally killed one of the okada men and this actually led to a great protest in lekki. The people came out en mass to voice out their anger against the ongoing police brutality that is insidiously emerging in the nooks and cranny of the country.
Racoon: The same Nigerian army or military that did so much exploits than any other African and even the US many combat operations across the world is today helpless again bandits and BH terrorists.
its political, same way US lost woefully in the vietnam war
Title: Who Owns the Child Born Before Islamic Marriage.
Introduction
This article explains what Islam says about a child born before marriage (from zina). It answers in simple words: Who owns the child? Who should care for the child? What are the rules? What do the scholars and the four Imams say? What does the Qur’an and Hadith teach us?
1. Is the Child Guilty?
No. Islam teaches that the child is innocent. The child is not to be blamed for what the parents did.
“No soul bears the burden of another.” — Surah Al-An’am 6:164
2. Who Owns the Child?
🔹If a child is born before Nikah, the child belongs to the mother only.
🔹The father cannot claim the child in Islamic law.
🔹The child takes the mother’s name, not the father’s.
This is the view of all four major schools of Islamic law.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “The child belongs to the bed (i.e. legal marriage), and for the adulterer is nothing.” — Sahih al-Bukhari, 2053; Muslim, 1457
So, unless the child is born during a valid marriage, the father has no legal claim to the child.
3. Who Performs the Aqeeqah?
🔸The mother’s family should perform the aqeeqah (the Islamic naming and sacrifice).
🔸If they are unable, any Muslim relative or community member can do it as a good deed.
🔸The biological father has no religious duty to perform aqeeqah unless he repents and chooses to help.
4. Who Takes Care of the Child?
Since the child belongs only to the mother, the mother is responsible for:
▪️Feeding the child
▪️Clothing the child
▪️Sheltering the child
▪️Educating the child
▪️Caring for all the needs of the child
If the mother is unable, her family or the Muslim community can help. The biological father is not legally responsible in Islamic law but is encouraged to support the child if he repents and fears Allah.
5. Can the Child Be Adopted?
Yes, the child may be cared for by someone else, but:
🔹The child must not be given the name of the adoptive family or the biological father.
🔹The child’s lineage remains with the mother.
6. Inheritance
🔸The child cannot inherit from the biological father.
🔸The child may inherit only from the mother and her family.
🔸Likewise, the father cannot inherit from this child.
However, the father may give gifts or a will (wasiyyah) to the child before his death (up to 1/3 of his estate), if he wants to show kindness.
7. Punishment for the Sin (Zina)
If two people have a child before marriage, it means they committed zina, which is a major sin in Islam.
The punishment:
▪️100 lashes for unmarried persons — Surah An-Nur 24:2
▪️Stoning to death for those who were married — Sahih Muslim
These are only carried out under an Islamic court with proper evidence or confession. If not proven, the person must repent to Allah sincerely.
8. Statements of the Four Imams
✅ Imam Abu Hanifah (Hanafi):
🔹Child born from zina belongs to the mother only.
🔹The man cannot claim the child.
> Bada’i al-Sana’i, Vol. 7, p. 327
✅ Imam Malik (Maliki):
🔸Child is linked to the mother.
🔸No naming or inheritance from the father.
> Al-Mudawwanah, Vol. 2
✅ Imam al-Shafi’i (Shafi’i):
▪️No legal link to the father.
▪️Child takes the mother’s name.
> Al-Umm, Vol. 5, p. 51
✅ Imam Ahmad (Hanbali):
🔹Child of zina belongs to the mother.
🔹No legal fatherhood, name, or inheritance.
> Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah, Vol. 9, p. 124
9. Statements of Salafi Scholars
✅ Shaykh Ibn Baz رحمه الله:
"A child from zina belongs to the mother, not the adulterer. He cannot be attributed to him."
✅ Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله:
"The child born from zina is not linked to the man who committed zina unless he was married to the mother at the time."
✅ Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله:
"The child is not to be named after the man. There is no inheritance. Responsibility falls on the mother."
10. What Should the Parents Do?
Repent sincerely to Allah.
🔸Stop the sin and avoid repeating it.
🔸Make a proper Islamic marriage (Nikah) if they wish to be together.
🔸Start a new life on Taqwa (fear of Allah).
“O my slaves who have transgressed, do not despair of the mercy of Allah...” — Surah Az-Zumar 39:53
Summary Table
Final Advice
Dear Muslim brothers and sisters,
° Respect Islamic marriage laws.
° Do not delay Nikah if both are ready.
° Teach your children about zina and its danger.
If you made a mistake, repent — Allah is Merciful.
Allah loves those who turn back to Him in repentance.
> May Allah guide us to what pleases Him.
all these are immaterial, under the nigerian constitution no one is born a bastard or owned by one person, they both gave birth to the child so all rights will be accorded to that child like any other legitimate child. any law inconsistent with the constitution is null and void
shortgun: The man in question never declared himself a ruler or king over Ghanaians — he's simply the leader of the Igbo community in Ghana. His title "Eze Ndi Igbo" literally translates to "King of the Igbos in Ghana or leader of Igbos " similar to how other ethnic groups have their own community heads, like Sarkin Fulani...King of Fulanis What exactly is the problem here? The man even built a school in Ghana
No its wrong yopu cant proclaim or be proclaimed to be a king or ruler or whatsoever in another persons country without soughting for approval
Kushites: You guys don’t know what is happening in Burkina Faso.
Since Traore came in, revenue has increased tenfold because he stopped the French deals that saw his country get 10% of the profits from its export trade in gold and other minerals, to something like 80% today, especially using indigenous labour and Russian/Chinese help.
He is showing that these countries are actually very rich. It was their Exploitation by the west that has kept them in poverty.
So if he’s building such a stadium, it’s no biggie. They are very rich in gold and minerals, and now They - not the French - control that wealth.
Go to Burkina Faso. The entire country is a construction site. Why will a stadium not be included?
so within one year he built that.... New North Korea
dayveed1: I thought as much. Because even though she's still young. She is very huge for her age and her claws are very long. I would have Loved to cater for her but she's trying to attack me at every opportunity she gets.
no way...thats not eagle at all, closer to a peregrine falcon.
Psoul: Oga, you don't know what you're talking about. The court will not meddle with pure political or Senate procedural matters.
In the issue of constitutional violation, breach of law or due process and issues involving individuals' right are handled and judged by the court. The rulling of the court will be binding to National Assembly.
Reptyle: Yes you are right. If the Senate had stepped out of its own code of conduct to sanction Madam Natasha, the court can rule them out of order because there is no legal basis for that.
But if the regulation is duly agreed and documented in the Senate's stating rules or code of conduct, it is binding on all legislators and the court cannot rule against it.
The principle of separation of powers is duly enshrined in the Nigerian constitution and by its provision, the legislature, just like the judiciary and the Executive arms of government, is self regulating.
then also the court can overrule them is it runs contrary to the principle of democracy, the Senate only have power to suspend for few months due to her elected office. She has a duty to those who vote her into that office..... Dont also forget the principle of check and balances.
Reptyle: The court cannot "order" the Senate to recall Madam Akpoti. It can only advise her recall. The judiciary and the legislature are 2 separate arms of government and independently regulate themselves without interference from the other.
wrong.... Not in all cases. Sometimes the court can declare any act of yhe national assembly as null and void and inconsistent with the constitution or as the case may be
flokii: See what LG Chairman is doing in Lagos.. whereas a certain former Governor wasted 8 years doing nothing in his home State, not a single road, no flyovers, no schools, no toilet, nothing built throughout his wasted years as Governor. The stale rhetoric of 'go and verify' shows all round failure. Another short one is busy commissioning 10km of roads and making noise, something LG Chairmen ought to be doing..
Kudos to Lagos and better by far Yoruba people.
no it wasn't done by LG oooo, it was constructed by LASG
