why don't you implore and make the op to give a definite period he will give people here their goods or money and see if people won't acknowldge ur effort.

Only Lagtech can bring all these to an end. He desires our understanding and patience? Fine. We are willing to give both but let him do the underlisted without delay.
1. Reveal the identity of the sea shipper
2. State the shippers contact both in Nigeria and the US with valid phone numbers
3. Tell us which date he handed over the itema to the shipper with proof such as scanned copies of receipts obtained for the transaction
4. Tell us the specific date the items shipped from the US and the date items arrived in Nigeria
5. Tell us the nature of the challenge the shipper is having with cutsoms NDLEA etc.
6. Tell us what specific effort he has made to solve the problem
These are specific issues that need to be addressed. Lagtech should address these directly. He should not bring in issues of his past performance or his future plans. Lagtech should understand that he is on trial now in the courts of public opinion. His integrity is at stake. The onus is on him to prove his innocence with facts and evidences not with sentiments.

oga abeg, ur comments on this thread are highly unbeacoming of a moderator. Tell me what assertions I have made that is possible?I don't think seun himself will be too pleased to see the way you have handled matters here. I expected u as a mod to have taken more concrete steps . Whenever a case like this happens in the auto section,the mod(chelseabmw) there do their job by getting in touch with the accused op for further clarification and explanation about matters.even the travel section mod justwise will not have tolerated what is going on here if he was the mod in this section. So many times they give the accused time to respond accordingly with appropriate action.as the mod of this section,and with the number of complains on this thread of a possible scam,please tell the victims here what steps u have taken to help them,instead u made fun of them by calling this a tragedy comedy. The only reason people are scared to tell u the truth is because they don't want to be banned from posting not that they like or support the careless manner u have handled issues here. Instead of telling me not to cast assertions ,why don't you implore and make the op to give a definite period he will give people here their goods or money and see if people won't acknowldge ur effort.

bros ,u nailed it too sharp and hard but u said the plain undilluted truth. Ur points are exactly what I have been trying to make ppl here understand. I made this same point almost 3 weeks back when I told the victims here that many of them won't get anything back but the fast and aggressive ones among them may be lucky to get partial refunds. What happened here was that many monikers here aren't real and only belongs to either the op or his friends so each time someone raises an alarm,those monikers jumps out to calm ppls nerves that they should be patient. I expected the victims here to have made plans to make sure the op so called agent in lagos doesn't run,but they wasted time in doing that.just like u said I also told them that they will be on this issue till march if care isn't taken.

gowaga68:
You should have thought of that too before using those words of banning earlier. You sounded more like Nigerian Police on the high way.(Slapping and telling the fellow not to cry). And pls don't forget its money issue we discussing here.

balogunsam:
Mod should talk to lagtech...he should close the thread? Does that sound like a great idea? As long as the thread exists there's a platform at least where we all express our displeasure even when pings aren't replied,emails not attended to and calls not picked. It's not a seemingly efficient platform but it's still a platform.

ResourceMan:
Most of them are bloody sycophants, hypocrites, free flash-drive (of N400) hustlers. while the others are actually the alternative monikers of lagtech and co.

Abduletudaye:

I don't have time for that. We are all here for different reasons. Just read the posts and say whatever you like but never forget that the limit of your knowledge is another person's starting point.

If you disagree with any of his posts, just post your opinion according to your understanding and leave him to his fate. May Allah forgive us all.

I would quickly like to add this on the issue of Ruh...

Islam as a religion is not based on personal reasoning or innovative ideas; it is based on what was revealed to the best of mankind, practiced by the best generation of Muslims…

The Prophet (SAW) was reported to have said: “Verily the best among you (to follow) is my generation (the Messenger Muhammad (SAW) and his Companions (RA)), then those who follow, and then those who follow them…” (Saheeh Muslim, Book: the Virtues of the Sahaabah, chapter 52 hadeeth #2535)

Allah (SWT) states: “And whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell a hapless journey's end!” (Qur’an 4:115)

So when we ask for you to bring evidences from the best of mankind, and the best of generations, we are not being rigid, we are being careful to follow the Prophet’s (SAW) instructions cos there is no other Guidance except that of Muhammad (SAW). You can twist and turn words, you can even come up with your own tafsir and the likes, but if no evidence still, you are on your own SIMPLE!

وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا (
85)
“They will ask you about the Ruh, say the Ruh is from the command of my Lord, and what you have been given (the questioners and mankind in general) in knowledge is but little” (Qur’an 17:85)

The reason for the revelation of this verse is said to be as a result of some Jews asking the Prophet(SAW) about the Ruh, and thus the Ayah was revealed…

According to tafsir Tabari, there is a difference of opinion in the interpretation of Ruh in the above verse, the first interpretation is Jubril alayhi Salam and a narration to support this is as follows:

محمد بن عبد الأعلى، قال: ثنا محمد بن ثور، عن معمر، عن قتادة( وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ ) قال: هو جبرائيل،

Reported from Qatadah, “and they ask about the Ruh” he said it is Jubril.

Others are of the opinion that it is an Angel amongst the Angels amongst them was Ibn Abbas and Ali (RA) according to the narrations presented in the tafsir. The narration that is quite interesting, although not sure of its authenticity, is the following…

حدثني عليّ، قال: ثنا عبد الله بن صالح، قال: ثني أبو مروان يزيد بن سمرة صاحب قيسارية، عمن حدثه عن عليّ بن أبي طالب، أنه قال في قوله( وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوح ) قال: هو ملك من الملائكة له سبعون ألف وجه، لكل وجه منها سبعون ألف لسان، لكل لسان منها سبعون ألف لغة يسبح الله عزّ وجلّ بتلك اللغات كلها، يخلق الله من كلّ تسبيحة مَلكا يطير مع الملائكة إلى يوم القيامة.

“It was reported from Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) that he said, in regards to Allah’s Statement “And they ask you about the Ruh”: He said: it is an Angel from amongst the Angels with 70,000 faces, and for each face, there are 70,000 tongues, and for each tongue, there are 70,000 languages in which it uses to praise Allah ‘aza wa jalla, and Allah creates from each praise an Angel that flies with the Angels till the day of Judgment.” (Tafsir Tabari)

I remembered I have heard this narration before from one of the lectures I attended when I was younger, and seriously, I also remembered having to joke about “rawaniya” with my colleagues back in the days, we say something like, “ma ran awon rawaniyah mi si e” meaning I’ll send my rawaniyah to you (in most cases, as a threat) or when we want to claim some form of high level of spirituality or knowledge, even back then, Jinns were what we knew to be “rawaniyah”.

Talking of experiences, “oro po ninu iwe kobo” I decided not even finish the narration from my Ustadh, and although, I haven’t seen much myself, but my dad has and Alhamdulilah, He had made me realize that sticking to the Sunnah, is the best way to guidance and spirituality, and seriously speaking, I do not care much for such stories…As a Muslim, the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) is enough as a miracle, I don’t need some extraordinary miracle to make me believe that I am on the right path or my level of spirituality, because there are lots of tricksters around preying on the gullibility of man and his yearnings for extraordinary events to happen…Even in Christendom, there are people who claim spirituality and based it on personal experiences, saying they saw Jesus Christ or the Holy spirit telling them this and that or even performing miracles through them, is that what we want to turn Islam to?

Empiree, please show some respect and adab, i wouldn't like you insulting my Ustaz, you don't know him, and i'm sure he is more knowledgeable than you. Even though i do not agree with some of his ways, he teaches and i learn.

I understand how you feel, and my post is not meant to discredit your Sheikh, but to increase all of us in knowledge and understanding.

I have come to know the true suffis, and they are not like the kind parading themselves these days. True Sufis stick to the shari'ah, they don't compromise on the sunnah. My dad told me about sufis he knew, they would be in a room with a bag of grain and make dhikr with each grain till the end, they don't fix counts or give people conditions unnecessary, they follow the sunnah to the letter, and they observe all the fardh form of worship.

I am lazy, Allah (SWT) knows, and I pray to be better bi idhniLLAH. But lets look at it this way, for every act you are to do in a day, there is a dhikr recommended by the Prophet (SAW), you have to memorize each, including the adhkar of morning and evening, you are constantly in ablution, you go for prayer as at when due with dhikr, you make the first row if you are not the Imam, you be the muazin, after each prayer, you do the recommended adhkar, then the recommended nawafils, then before sleep, you do the sunnah again, being in ablution, reciting surah sajdah and mulk, before that you make taubah, then you go to sleep with the remembrance of Allah (SWT) and just before dawn, you wake and you stand in the middle of the night, making nawafil and doing dhikr till your eyes overflow, do you know you don't even have to ask Allah (SWT) for anything, you would be given all what you need and even more. This is what the Sunnah entails and even more...

Do you know that part of seeking spirituality is to fully understand what being a Muslim entails which is submitting totally to Allah's will, and also to never complain to anyone of your affairs except to Allah (SWT) ? There is narration to this fact about the Sahabas.
I'll like to ask, did the Prophet(SAW) gathered the Sahabas for Ya sin 1000 before 313 overran a thousand at the battle of Badr? and what happened at the battle of Uhud? Sahabas neglected the instruction of the Prophet (SAW) and they suffered...

What i am trying to say is, attaining spirituality is far more that reciting Ya sin 1,111, it is by following the Sunnah! and if someone comes with what is not recorded in the Sunnah, or there is a deficiency in the narration, we do away with it, clinging on to the established authentic sunnah, cos that is the best way to felicity.

Allah Says: Say: "Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message). (Quran 24:54).

And Ameen to your Du'as

Popular but Unreliable V

Undoubtedly, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) fasted on the 10th day of Muharram, ‘Aashooraa, in the early days of his call in Makkah. Likewise after the Hijrah to Madeenah, he verified that ‘Aashooraa was the day Allah destroyed Fir’awn and his hosts and saved Nabiyy Moosa – alayhis-salam – and his people; and he – sallallahu alayhi wasallam – fasted on that day and obligated the Muslims to do same. He – sallallahu alayhi wasallam – averred that the reward for the ‘Aashooraa fast is expiation of the sins of the past year. Later on when fasting the month of Ramadan became obligatory, the ‘Aashooraa fast dropped to a recommended act, and in order to further differ from the Jews and Christians who would fast on the 10th day alone, Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) approved fasting the 9th day, Taasoo’aa, together with ‘Aashooraa. However, it is common to find people specially spending lavishly on their families on these days, thinking that it is from the Sunnahs of ‘Aashooraa to do so. Generally referred to as kayo-kayo in Yoruba and chika-chiki in Hausa - both meaning “eating to full” -, this practice is encouraged by some of the people from the hadeeth ascribed to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) that he said, “Whoever lavishes upon his family on the day of ‘Aashooraa, Allah will bestow favors on him throughout the year.” Collected by al-Bayhaqee and others, and is said to be reported from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) by Abu Hurayrah, Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree, Abdullah bin Mas’ood and Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansaaree – radiya Allahu anhum.
After a detailed analysis of the chains of the reports attributed to each companion which shows that these reports have been transmitted generation after generation by Fabricators, Liars and Weak reporters, Imam Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee – rahimahullah – said, “Despite the utter weakness of its chains, acting upon such (narration) was not known among the pious predecessors. No one among the leading scholars of jurisprudence ever mentioned it or encouraged such lavish mentioned in the hadeeth.” Silsilat ad-Da’eefah no. 6824. In his checking and editing of the book, al-I’tisaam by Imam ash-Shaatibee (rahimahullah), al-‘Allaamah Mashhoor Hasan Aal-Salmaan (hafidhahullah) said, “It has many chains which are not safe from serious weakness or discontinuity.” He continued, “The truth is that the weakness in the hadeeth is severe; it should not be relied on as evidence and the various chains cannot gain strength in order to be graded Sound.” Al-I’tisaam 2/238. Before them both, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah (rahimahullah) gave an extensive discussion on the issue which includes, “And it is reported in a Fabricated hadeeth and lie ascribed to the Prophet – sallallahu alayhi wasallam – that ‘Whoever lavishes upon his family on the day of ‘Aashooraa, Allah will shower favors on him throughout the year’. Ascribing all these to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is false…” Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (25/300).
In addition, ostentatious spending on the family specially on ‘Aashooraa would resemble what the Jews used to do on that day which the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked us to contradict. In the report of Abu Moosa al-Ash’aree it says that the people said to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam): “The people of Khaybar (i.e., the Jews) would fast on ‘Aashooraa and celebrate on it; they would make their women wear ornaments and their beautiful clothes.” Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) then said, “You should rather fast on it.” Saheeh Muslim no. 2661. Therefore, spending lavishly on food, dress etc. on the day of ‘Aashooraa is wrong. Despite the fact that the reports conveying such lavish are weak, such practices are from the ways of the Jews and we have been ordered to act differently. And as Shaykh al-Islam ath-Thaanee, Ibn Qayyim al- Jawziyyah – rahimahullah - affirmed, “The people of Sunnah will follow what the Prophet – sallallahu alayhi wasallam – ordered and avoid the Innovation the Shaytaan has ordered.” Barakallahu feekum!
