This isn't the matter of meeting Lagos is not meant for one person, for does people that said Lagos is for Yoruba people even Tinubu too can not said it that Lagos is for Yoruba people Lagos is for Benin people they are the first people that first came to Lagos. AD owns Lagos before Tinubu came and betraying them and built AC so he shouldn't afraid of loosing Lagos. This election is not for JK and Tinubuis for Tinubu and people in Lagos state if JK win the election make him go jump into lagoo n as cited by Oba of Lagos. People in Lagos is wiser than want you think. We can't vote fo r thief Ambode is a thief. Let another party rule us.

just type Lagos on google and read wikipedia..

lincolnj88: u are still lacking d explanation I needed....

Well maybe its because you want to believe the things you only want to believe.. My explanation about alaqa is well known and about the woman i told you about nutfah i even gave you a reliable neutral source for translation and a professor with reputation in embryology.. and some examples.. Anyway just realize and i will repeat that holy books are not science text books that gives all the details but they are more like pointing your reasoning into it as an ayat (sign).

lincolnj88: Try read nd understand......if u can't understand this den u nid help.....nd abt quran error in embryonic development ,below are lists of dem

Embryology[edit]
Main Article: Embryology in the Qur'an

The Qur'an and Hadith contain statements about bodily fluids and the stages of development of the human embryo. Many of these descriptions are vague and unscientific. Most bare a striking resemblance to similar descriptions found in the Jewish Talmud and the ideas of ancient Greeks such as Galen, including their errors.
Sperm Originates Between the Backbone and Ribs[edit]
Main Article: Qur'an and Semen Production

The Qur'an states, incorrectly, that semen originates from a spot between the backbone and ribs. Today we know sperm comes from the testicles and semen from the pelvic region, which is not between the spine and ribs.
He is created from a drop emitted- Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs
Qur'an 86:6-7
Embryo is Formed from Male and Female Fluids[edit]
Main Article: Greek and Jewish Ideas about Reproduction in the Quran and Hadith

The author of the Qur'an describes the formation of a human embryo from fluids emanating from the man (and possibly also of the woman). This reflects the contemporary, but incorrect, view that the embryo is initially formed out of semen stored in the womb. In fact, semen is the vehicle for the sperm cells, one of which fuses with a woman's ovum in her fallopian tube, and the resulting cell divides and travels back into the womb for implantation. While English translations mention a "drop of seed", or "drop of sperm", the Arabic word in question literally means a small amount of liquid, a euphemism for semen.
Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? And We placed it in a firm lodging For a known extent.
Qur'an 77:20-22
From what thing doth He create him? From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him
Qur'an 80:18-19
Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm [nutfatin amshajin], in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
Qur'an 76:2
No Mention of Female Ovum[edit]

The Qur'an's author did not mention the role of the ovum in human reproduction and appears to have no knowledge of it. This verse fails to mention the important role of the female egg, or ovum, plays in the reproduction of humankind. It implies that reproduction is caused simply by the male semen. The human ovum is very small, though visible to the human eye, and it's purpose wasn't understood in the 7th century. Again, we are left wondering why an all-knowing deity would omit such information.
He is created from a drop emitted
Qur'an 25:45
Humans Created from a Clot of Blood[edit]
Main Article: Embryology in Islamic Scripture

The Qur'an and Hadith depict that humans are formed from a clot of blood. There was never a stage in embryonic development where humans are formed into a clot of blood. This description is likely influenced by an unscientific and primitive understanding of human reproduction based on observations from an early-term miscarriage and a woman's menstrual cycle.
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
Qur'an 96:2
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mus'ud: “Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period.”
Sahih Bukhari 4:54:4

Nice post but you are not doing justice to your copy and paste. You should first understand that its written in arabic and you have to compare translation to give you a better meaning.

For your first argument that the woman is not mentioned. In quran 76:2 you mentioned earlier the word there is nutfah and if you check Lane’s Lexicon of classical Arabic it means a Sperm of a man and of a woman or mixture quantity. Also some other translation uses nuftah as mixture. With that being said even if the woman is not mentioned explicitly that doesnt mean theres a contradiction or no point there.. You should understand that holy books are not science text books that gives all the details but they are more like pointing your reasoning into it as an ayat (sign).. For example if i tell you i create my bed from wood, does that mean i didnt add nails or gums or spray to the bed.. Its only an error when i say i created my bed ONLY from wood..

ref

(Verily, We have created man from Nutfah Amshaj,) meaning, mixed. The words Mashaj and Mashij mean something that is mixed together. Ibn `Abbas said concerning Allah’s statement,
(from Nutfah Amshaj,) "This means the fluid of the man and the fluid of the woman when they meet and mix.” Then man changes after this from stage to stage, condition to condition and color to color. `Ikrimah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas all made statements similar to this. They said, "Amshaj is the mixing of the man’s fluid with the woman’s fluid.”

Ibn Kathir on 76:2

Second point.. the word here again is Alaqa which have a variety of meaning.. and the commonly used one is clot of blood and also something that clings or a leach like substance.. Once you understand this then you will understand that that thing actually clings.. No translation is infallible thats why its important to get to the root of words sometimes. For example not too long ago being called gay means being bright but now you know what being called gay actually means but that doesnt mean the 2 or 1 is wrong.. It simply means use the right one for the right context if the other doesnt fit in well..

sahih Internation uses the word cling btw.

Finally you do know keith moore which was a leading profesor in embryology confirms that aspect in the quran.. Thats a neutral source.
