Alihamdulilah, I have always refrained myself from tangling with American women. I dont even play around with them as in GF thing. I discipline myself a lot. NOT CLAIMING SAINTHOOD but i hear stories, so pathetic that it keeps me off from Oyinbo/Akata despite their seduction.

I even heard stories by our men who deliberately went home to marry their kind and it turns ugly after the ladies "soji" to western society. All these make life boring. But it does works well pretty much for others.

A young man in America or other western countries should better embark on housing project back home as soon as he can. That's a lifetime investment. Otherwise, things can be very nasty if children involved with oyinbo/Akata. That's a nasty journey of a lifetime. Tell young men to hold banana underneath their pant. Tell them to take their eyes off those chicks and their skirts.

May God bless those who are able to think and invest on their retirement back home. Houses you have in western world are not yours. They can be repossessed in a twinkle.

I met a Nigerian man in Atlanta, GA in Jan, 2013. He's real estate investor. He's from Oyo state. He said he hasn't stepped into Nigeria since 1995 after his parents funeral. I don't know what happened exactly that makes him hate Nigeria so much. His name is David. He owns houses in different counties in Atlanta. He took me to some near airport and other places. On that block ( both sides), He owns houses in the whole block. He rents most of the house. some are vacant. Some I entered them. He said if not bcuz I came from other state he won't be going around with me.
Clients see the house on his website, contact him and he gives them code for the entrance. He's quiet rich. Then he told me he lost $700k on a deal that pained him so much. I said how about you build a nice house in Nigeria instead of wasting money here?. He said hell no. "This is my home. I don't know anyone in Nigeria except a cousin. I will retire and die here and bury here"

I said but you never know things may change. He said no. That he made up his mind. He said his cousin built a house in Nigeria but vacant. What's the point?. He asked. He advised her to sell it and move to US.

My point is I can't believe some people live like this. With so much hate for home country. I always feel sad hearing that. He does not work for anymore nor does he has office. He just created website with pictures of his houses. Deals are made at his home or bank. I was like " sir, I respect your decision but I disagree with you on being here forever".
The way he sounded though makes me wonder if his parents were murdered. He should be in his 50s. His website is investor delight dot com

Don't you think it is a waste of money to build a house in Nigeria that you only spend a month in a year especially if it is being built in the city and you are not considering retiring to it in the future even though i know that you can sell it later?. You can easily rent a serviced apartment for that period that you are around.
bro, you may be right but time changes. Things are unpredictable. You don't want to turn 70 and realise Nigeria is your home to retire. And that time, you may not have $$ to build. That's just too bad.

No, the whole house.

It's a total eco house and will require electricity to power a lot of security, hvac features. Total automation.

There's one thing we have in abundance in Nigeria, sun and wind.

I think I've bastardized Oga Spyders thread too much now. I'll open a thread where we can discuss home automation and power.
Pls, really want to know more of this. I do have friends who have been worrying me to connect them to Nigerian investors on solar energy but i felt reluctant because i'm thinking how many Nigerians could afford that.

I thought all i have to buy is solar compatible lights features for exterior and that's.

Mr. OP, they are laughing at you behind your back. Non-Muslims reading this are laughing at you behind your back. All these you posted as divine signs of endtimes could have been easily predicted any one. These cannot be qualified as prophesies, these are certainties known to common people even before Muhammad.
i doubt laughing at him phrase. Christians and Jews have glimpses of these anyway. There are some similarities in Judaism, Christianity and Islamic eschatology. Dajjal and return of ibn Maryam(as) seems to be major differences.

67. The last of the Ummat will curse those before them (clearly seen today in people who call the Prophet’s companion’s names).
^
Where did you get this list from? Immediate generations after the Prophet 's companions did curse the companions. Cursing the Prophet 's companion didn't start today. Are your studying at all?
perhaps in-bracket could have meant "will increase" or prevalent.

I don't care what orthodox Muslims say, i am interested in their teachings. As the hadith stated, your faith insist that only upon sending greetings to Muhammad does prayer reaches God. This is not direct contact, Muhammad is like the mediator here.
See;



As in, Muhammad returns the greeting and the prayer is able to reach God according to the first hadith i cited.
And what's above hadith you cited has to do with WORSHIP?. Is this inguistic problem you have or what. Sending SALUTATIONS/GREETINGS is now tantamount to WORSHIP?. Billions of muslims are idolators.......is that your conclusion?

Yes when the glaring truth is presented to a muslim , (s) he runs away..its ok.. just don't tell more lies. .
Honestly, you dont get it. Mainstream media would say satirical magazine cartoonist was killed along with "11 others". It was alternative media that spoke about muslim officer among the victims. It was only recently it was briefly shown on TV about a muslim guy who helped prevent attack on Jewish place. I see him interviewed. Anything else as you want me to believe is utter nonsense.

Besides, no muslim should apologize for crime someone committed. Others commit crimes too and no one apologized for it except maybe relatives. I owe no one apology. The criminals are killed and thats it. Game over. Coming after muslims cus of that is unjust and irrelevant. When Richard Reid, the shoe bomber blow up something, all Richards in the world did not go out apologizing for that.

@underline is incorrect, it is derived from poor translation and interpretation of the verse.



“Duaa is suspended between heaven and earth and none of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam.” [At-Tirmidhi, Hasan Al-Albani]

Your tradition above says it all. Arab pagan did believe that direct contact with God is not possible and only upon venerating certain idols do their prayer reach God.

Once you believe that contacting God is not possible without mentioning another being, you are associating that being with God.
Poor translation?. You have "correct translation?. This is not intermidiary thing. You talking about Arab pagans. I am talking about muslims here. No muslim believe direct contact with God is impossible. Thats false. Hadith you quoted has nothing to do with "direct contact". What do you think attracts non muslims to come to islam most?. Isnt direct contact?. When is comes to worship, basically, direct connection is what it is in salat. It even seems to me that you dont fully understand concept of worship from salutation of the prophet. Salutation of the prophet (saw) is highly recommended. Sura 33:56 is God's command on believers. It's not shirk friend

The very frist victim of the shoot ing that people learnt of was the Muslim police officer. ..right now i know by heart only the name of the editor and theMuslim officer because the editor was quite popular and the officer name was mentioned so many times in the media. ..

TheWestern media even showed a live broadcast of a conference organized for the family of the Muslim police man. ... i was actually offended that cnn paid far too much attention to the Muslim officer and neglected to follow up on the families of the 11 other murdered people . ... Your comment here goes to show how valid the point of usermane is. .The majority of muslims love to play victim...Get over yourself.
U blame the Jews, u blame the zionists, u blame the usa , u blame the West. .. can't u see ur religion is the problem; with all its hate, how do you think the Muslim world will progress..17 million jews versus 1.5 billion muslims yet the Jews have made so much contribution to humanity while the Muslims give the world one terrorist incident after another. .

Just like pope also denounced insulting religion and said he would knock someone who mocks his mother. If he had been average fella, they would say he supports terrorists. They forgot that there those who can read btw the lines. Myself was subjected to 4 yrs investigations by federal and local authorities for 4 yrs over comment i made on fb. Even though i was not arrested because no probable cause was found, I was in fact subjected to dragnet investigation.

They sent informants and agent provocateurs to follow me everywhere. Agent provocateurs can be very ugly. After that didnt work, themselves started following me on foot, helicopters, and cars everywhere. Almost knocked me off the street by their suv. I was upset and reported them to CAIR and other attorneys. It was like hell. Usermane need to bring his head here and read this.

I know it too well

I know the victim card too well. Growing up in the Muslim community in 2001, we were taught that US invaded Afghanistan to kill our Muslim brothers. To cultivate a feeling of victimhood and hatred for US in us, we were never taught the atrocities by fanatic elements in our midsts on the Twin Towers(9/11) and several US embassies in the Middle east.

Too often, we learn that US is the satan who support Isreal in all her oppression of our Palestinian brothers. We were never taught that our brothers heavily enjoined the service of US against the Soviet communists throughout the Soviet-Afghan war(1979-1989).

In a nut shell, our Muslim brothers tell us only half-truth. Of course, most of us have been radicalized by this and do not realize it today. But thankfully, the full truth has set me free.
Yawn!!! only usermane still believe stupid narrative. Many westerners don port past this nonsense.
Christianity Etc › Re: Ashtray by Empiree:

Honour or Victimhood

Playing the victim card is a very powerful strategy of ganering sympathy in the world today. Sometimes, this strategy is employed at the expense of honour. I wouldn't be shocked to learn Mr. Hassan was fully aware of the terror by the Muslim gang in response to that cartoon but chose to ignore it. In that case, Mr Hassan 's will is to reinforce the sense of victimhood in Muslims and sustain the hatred for the west.

As such, revealing the full story will be counterproductive, awakening the Muslims to the fanatic trends thriving in their midst, therefore pitting Muslims against Muslims and dampening their reaction to the cartoon. Consequently, while the cartoons which didn't hurt Muhammad are discussed relentlessly by Muslims, the shootings which claimed live are relatively seldom discussed. And the impression here is that Muslims consider the killing of the cartoonists as justice or not as offensive as the cartoon.
You are still one sided. Western (most part) dont give a foot about thousands of muslims killed by foreign troops in their countries. They only see one side that portray western people as the victims. You are very dishonest usermane, very dishonest. Do you think folks are stupid?. I honestly dont expect western media to portray muslims as victim as this is counterproductive to primary agenda.

In the same way, you shouldnt expect muslims to do otherwise. Everyone plays victim card. Do you get it brother?

Half truth is Dangerous

I left that gathering with a heavy heart. It is true that Charlie Hebdo cartoon mocked Muhammad and some westerners have justified it as legal under freedom of speech, but that isn't the full story, why is Mr. Hassan keeping half of the truth to himself?

Isn't he aware that Charlie Hebdo and 11 others who may have no hand in the cartoon were killed by a fanatic Muslim gang shortly after the release of the cartoon? Isn't he a Muslim, why isn't he objective and honest in his utterance?
Yea, just like western media does not recognize or refused to tell the world about muslim police officer who was also killed in the attacks. They publish what suits them.

And the temples are for God: So invoke no one along with God

Muslims invoke Muhammad too. Reluctantly, i joined the Muslim group. As usual, they always begin and conclude their prayers with greetings and salution to Muhammad which amount to veneration. According to their traditions, without that, prayers would not be accepted. I often stand idly when they do this.


Yesterday, one dark hefty looking man named Mr. Hassan, conducted the devotion.
What do you mean by they invoke Muhammad(Allah's blessing be upon him and his family)? Sending greeting and salutation on this great prophet is commanded in the Quran 33:56. It's not worship of him. It's asking God to send peace and salutation on him. Dont know what you thinking.

What exactly those people say?.

No, it not like prayer will not be accepted. I think you need to upgrade your iman on this subject.... very weak usermane, very weak.

As regards the alcohol, I was reading the English version of the Quran, not sure of the surah but it should be surah Imran or Nisai, Allah said alcohol consumption is a sin and as well has benefits, but the sin is more than its benefit, and the he said in another ayat that one must not be drunk to observe ones salah...from my own point of view I don't think alcohol consumption is bad but when done excessively....
I disagree with bold honey. You may want to put the verse of Quran you read in its proper context. It was not forbidden outright. But it's now as Islam is complete.
