The final cost of petrol will vary based on the international cost of crude oil, but it will be way lower than what Tinubu is making us pay despite continuing to pay subsidy illegally to importers from their Malta blending plant.

Mauritius has almost 70% ethnic Indians in charge of the country.

Why do Nigerian masses allow the elites to capture the country? Is that because the masses, from whom the elites emerge are the same stock of tribalistic minded sharers of the national cake of corruption at local, state and federal levels?

Moreover, do we even have the capacity to manage the extractive industries without free education for all children by well paid professional teachers as a foundation?

Pump prices follow crude, the naira and margins, so no candidate can fix a number. Atiku's graphic and Duke's plan both give local refiners cheap crude, a subsidy paid as forgone revenue, uncosted, and useless unless the discount reaches the pump. Malta imports are real, but research to date shows no live subsidy, only old arrears owed to NNPCL. Tribalism is real, but elites exploit it more than it explains capture; people sell votes out of poverty and low trust. Which foreigner would you rather have openly prominent in our affairs? Apparently you prefer the one from a neighbouring African country that lives a lot more in Dubai.

In essence regarding the price of PMS aren't Duke and Atiku proposing the same thing? What are the implications and at what cost?

Then on your following article quote, (Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper)
The dilemma is false. It sets colonial rule at its best against independence at its worst, and it calls black dignity illusory before offering any evidence. Botswana and Mauritius prospered under black rule. Nigeria's failure is extractive institutions and elite capture that colonialism began and elites kept. Fix institutions, not rulers.

Same field, same play tool and basically the same kind of skill.

Yes Nigeria owns its crude, so it can legitimately supply local refiners at a domestic price, as other producers do. He's right that world prices needn't dictate what Nigerians pay, and that high fuel costs hit low-income workers hardest.
But it's a subsidy paid as forgone export revenue, roughly $12bn a year on his own figures, with no word on who absorbs it. His $45 cost implies about N380 a litre at 1,340 to the $, above his N300, and cheap crude doesn't guarantee a cheap pump price.
The $12bn figure doesn't depend on the exchange rate, since it's in dollars (about $55 a barrel of discount on 600,000 barrels a day).

@MaxinDhouse.

It's only appropriate I share that in Quran 14:48 Allah says of the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth, and the heavens [as well], and they will be presented before Allah, the One, the Prevailing.


Aisha r.a asked the Prophet pbuh about this verse saying where, O Messenger of Allah, will the people be on that Day?

The Prophet pbuh said on the Sirat (Sahih Muslim, 2791)


So what is the “new earth”?

The Qur’an does not give us a detailed physical description of exactly what this new earth will look like. However, the authentic Sunnah gives us some information. The Prophet pbuh said the people will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection upon a white land, reddish-white, like a pure loaf of bread, having no landmarks for anyone. (Sahih Bukhari 6521)

Therefore, the earth of the Hereafter will not be like the earth we know today with its mountains, cities, countries, buildings, roads and familiar landmarks. Allah will transform or replace it with an earth appropriate for the events of the Hereafter.

What be this new earth? Well it is the place all mankind will be gathered on the day of resurrection. However, we cannot say that every single stage of the Day of Judgment takes place in exactly the same location or that we know every transition in precise chronological order.

The Day of Resurrection involves several stages which includes resurrection, gathering, standing before Allah, reckoning, the weighing of deeds, the crossing of the siraṭ, and ultimately the people reaching Paradise or Hell.

The Prophet pbuh specifically connected the replacement of the earth and heavens with the people being upon the Siraṭ.

To stay focused on Allah and stay focused on the day of judgment. He shows scientific miracles in it. There are a couple of proven scientific miracles in surah Anbiyah.
What is the big bang theory?

Science say that this whole earth was one part and then what happened? There was a huge explosion and they opened up. Those who don't believe reject faith, don't they see? When Allah tells you, don't you see? Meaning you should see it's clear. Like you say somebody didn't say salam to you in a gathering and you look at her and say or you look at him and say, Didn't you see me? And how can you not see me? I'm in front of you. Those who reject, don't they see? Both heavens and earth were one piece then we separated them. In the Arabic language when you have a piece of clothes and you literally rip it in the Arabic language we say fat you knew about the big bang theory but how many of you knew the big bang theory is in the Quran?

AMINDA:
Even if you include the 20 trillion that Buhari borrowed from CBN during Covid 19 when the whole globe was shut down, he still borrowed far less money in his entire 8-year tenure than Tinubu has borrowed in just 3 years. Buhari paid various types of subsidies, Tinubu is not. Buhari delivered more tangible physical infrastructure from roads to railways to ports to bridges to power plants. Tinubu only has the 15 trillion naira coastal road to show which has since been commissioned and named after himself at 47 kilometres. Oh, and student "loans."
No doubt Buhari's 8 years added ~N75tn; Tinubu's ~3 years already exceed that in N65tn-N100tn+ claimed estimates. But naira devaluation inflates this: unification pushed the rate from ~N460/$ to over N1500/$, so existing dollar debt converts to a far larger naira figure without fresh borrowing. In dollar terms, debt actually fell from ~$108bn to ~$91bn post-unification. Unification itself closed a costly arbitrage gap between official and parallel rates, real economic logic, though the pain (inflation) front-loads while gains depend on follow-through. Buhari signed the PIA in 2021, mandating subsidy's abolition, and his own last budget funded it only through June 2023, no provision after. So Buhari paid subsidy, Tinubu doesn't skips that Buhari's government had already zeroed it out; Tinubu enforced a deadline Buhari's own law and budget set, not a discretionary choice Buhari avoided.

I was a Muslim so i'm telling you that Muhammad claimed he got a message from his God which says he should not relent in fighting whoever wants to fight him for the message he is spreading.

So it was the crusaders that has been fighting and killing people claiming they are doing it for Jesus centuries before the birth of Muhammad!

See what AI says below on the topic.😟
Not getting drawn into your discussion however you know you have pushed your interpretation to Prophet Muhammad pbuh beyond the truth. In the call to fight it is particularly against those who fight him with a warning not to transgress. It is not simply those who simply oppose the message but the ones who actually fight against the Muslim and prevent them from worshipping Allah. Even at that there is guidance and where possible leave the location unless they come to you where you had previously settled and evict or disturb you. You may have your own view and interpretation but don't state what isn't true. You are a JW, leave it at that without laying claims to being a Muslim which you still don't understand.

There you go lying yet again.

First, is HRW report is not an example of your Islamic rulers punishing and condemning it.

Secondly, that report, only contains reports of the commission of the crime. It did not state whether the offenders were punished.

Thirdly, from your purported report on Bauchi and Kano ghost cases, you are only saying that someone was arrested and some other person was acquitted. And not that your Islamic punished a person who had violated this Law.

So, you have not said anything different
You're conflating two different claims regarding the HRW report. I cited it to establish that this abuse occurs in Igbo land, not as proof of punishment. That was never its scope, and I never claimed otherwise.
On Enugu Ezike, Enugu State nullified the marriage, arrested the groom, both sets of parents, and the matchmaker, and referred them for investigation and prosecution under the Child Rights Law. No credible public report shows a conviction or sentence followed. (https://guardian.ng/news/enugu-nullifies-child-marriage-arrests-parents-groom/, https://leadership.ng/enugu-government-nullifies-33-yr-old-mans-marriage-to-15-yr-old-girl/)
That's the same evidentiary tier as your own Kano and Bauchi objections. In Oruru's case, Kano's Sharia Commission held her and her abductor before handing both to police. His eventual 26-year sentence came from a federal court, not Kano (https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/05/22/finally-court-sentences-ese-orurus-abductor-to-26-years/). In Hajara Ibrahim's case, an Upper Sharia Court in Bauchi nullified a wrongful lower-court conviction and acquitted her. That is intervention and correction, not punishment of an offender (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2004/11/10/nigerian-girl-spared-death-by-stoning).
And on the actual claim you originally challenged that Islamic authorities never condemn or oppose forced marriage but here a Sharia court in Kaduna ruled in 2023 that a father may propose a husband for his daughter but forced marriage is not encouraged, and ordered him to let her present the man she wants to marry (https://punchng.com/woman-sues-father-over-attempted-forced-marriage/). That's a Sharia judge explicitly rejecting forced marriage as improper conduct. It's not a conviction, but a direct answer to the claim you actually made, not the narrower one you've since substituted for it.

As i said, the most important part is this, none of your Islamic rulers have ever punished it, nor condemned it nor ruled that it is wrong and unallowed in your Islam.

Which you have finally admitted up.

And this is not silence but implied consent as your Islamic law says it is allowed, so your rulers are standing by in support of it.

So, by these, it is clear that islam stands for evil and supports it, thereby proving that Say.Ta, is you people's ēpã
Take that truth out of your monika, it's far from reality. I gave you the Kano arrest and the Bauchi Sharia court overturning a wrongful sentence and ordering an acquittal. You ignored both and simply repeated never punished. Islam doesn’t need your silence-equals-consent argument to survive scrutiny. If you’re claiming Islam permits this, show the actual text. You still haven’t.

For you to ask whether i know hrw already tells you that i don't know. And most importantly, you gave no citation to verify if truly such a case is there. And most, most importantly, it's a research which has not received confirmation.

And most, most, most importantly none of your Islamic rulers have ever punished it, nor condemned it nor ruled that it is wrong and unallowed in your Islam.

Therefore, your islam is still pagany and jujuyi just like the rest of the pagan world.,
So, trying to prove the purported Imo case is a nullity.

And real eyeity has already proven that islam is Pagany and practices juju and sorcery as i have already seen and others too.

https://www.nairaland.com/7564159/dua-forget-someone-love#120810454

https://www.nairaland.com/1518145/juju-islam#19549580

So, your denying it is vain.
The citation, since you're asking again, is Human Rights Watch, Nigeria: Child Marriage Violates Girls' Rights, 17 January 2022 — https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/01/17/nigeria-child-marriage-violates-girls-rights.

Obioma O., Imo State, was married at 15 to a 60-year-old teacher who had impregnated her. The separate claim about a 14-year-old fleeing six times was a different, non-Igbo case in the HRW report. I had the two cases mixed up. That correction is no licence to wave away what HRW actually documented.

“Research that hasn't received confirmation” isn't a real objection to a Human Rights Watch field report. If you have a specific reason to doubt HRW's methodology, name it. Otherwise you're simply refusing to engage with the source.

As for your claim that no Islamic ruler has ever punished, condemned or ruled against this, it's false. In Kano, a man who abducted and married off a 13-year-old was arrested and charged after police recovered her. In Bauchi, an Upper Sharia Court overturned a lower Sharia Court's death sentence against a teenager and ordered her acquittal. In Kaduna, a Sharia court told a father he couldn't force his 20-year-old daughter into marriage. Those are Islamic courts and Islamic-state authorities doing exactly what you're claiming never happens.

And it isn't just the North. In November 2025, Enugu State nullified an underage marriage in Enugu Ezike, Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area, involving a 15-year-old girl and a 33-year-old man, and arrested her parents, the groom, his parents and the matchmaker under the state's Child Rights Law. That's a Christian Igbo state enforcing the law against the practice on its own soil. It was reportedly arranged by a native doctor, not a mosque, irrespective of the religion the couple involved identified with. By your own standard, that matters.

You also need to update the broader “Christian South condemns it, Islamic North permits it” framing. The last federal count put 34 of Nigeria's 36 states as having domesticated the Child Rights Act. What remains is a Nigerian legal-pluralism and enforcement problem, including the constitutional tension around Section 29, which treats marriage as conferring adulthood, not evidence that Islam uniquely endorses the practice.

And even if I granted your claim that no Muslim cleric anywhere had condemned it, that still wouldn't prove your conclusion. Silence isn't doctrine. You're citing an absence and treating it as evidence of religious approval. By that logic, Soludo's government acting in Anambra, or a Sharia court in Bauchi rejecting a sentence, wouldn't prove that Christianity and Islam forbid it. You wouldn't accept that inference when applied to Christianity.

The same applies to juju. Islam is explicitly monotheistic and prohibits sorcery and divination. If you claim otherwise, quote the Qur'an, hadith or authoritative ruling. A crime committed by someone who identifies as Muslim doesn't establish Islamic doctrine, just as juju occurring in your Christian household doesn't make Christianity a juju religion. You distinguish between your faith and practices you condemn. Apply that same standard to Islam.

So cite the verse, hadith or ruling that instructs or permits what you're claiming, or drop it. Repeating the claim isn't an argument.
Christianity Etc › Re: Its Like Islam/muslims Is A Juju Religion. by Explore2xmore: 4:13pm On Aug 27
Google failing to index a phrase does not prove the event never happened, please tell me otherwise. The case is documented in HRW’s field research and directly cited in a peer-reviewed paper, which is stronger evidence than a Google snippet. You know what HRW stands far I hope?

More importantly, Islam is categorically distinct from juju and paganism. Islam teaches worship of Allah alone and rejects sorcery, divination, and attributing independent supernatural power to anything besides Him.

Your own testimony actually exposes the weakness in your argument. You say juju had real effects on your Christian household and your son, meaning you accept spiritual effects attributed to something other than almighty God. Yet you don’t conclude that Christianity itself is juju. So why apply that standard to Islam?

I have already told you that Google's check says "there is no documented or verified news report of a 14-year-old girl escaping a forced marriage six times specifically in Imo State" neither did you state it's source.

And even at that, it still does not negate the fact that while in the Christian areas, these things are openly condemned and they are called pagans, none of your Islamic rulers have ever punished it, nor condemned it nor ruled that it is wrong and unallowed in your Islam.

Now, you have resorted to dishonesty on top of all these against islam
More proof that islam and it's people come from sata...
The Imo case wasn't fabricated. The source records three separate Imo cases, including a 14-year-old forced into marriage who fled her husband six times over three years, only for her family to return her each time. It also records a 15-year-old impregnated by her 60-year-old teacher and later forced to marry him because of the pregnancy. Imo is predominantly Christian and so by your own standard, does that make their custom, or Christianity itself "from sata" too? Before accusing me of dishonesty, check the source. And notice you can't even finish writing "Satan" anymore. Funny, considering you've admitted elsewhere that you now believe juju and witchcraft happened to you and your son personally, despite living in "modern," Christian, even atheist circles. Sharing another's story or what?
So which is it? Is juju a Muslim problem, or something you've already conceded touches your own house too?

You already admitted that the organs of govt in Anambra took action against the man who did this kind of evil, but do you show where your Islamic people have punished this evil?
No.

Escaping from the evil command of shariah is proof that your islam supports evil things that people have to escape from.

If not,she should not have to escape. You are not escaping Nigeria to wait for a court to assert your natural right to your pagan religion.

Nor, did your Islamic court declare that the evil Sharia law is null, void and inapplicable in islam.

So, your argument is senseless and does not defend your Islam, if anything you have only pointed out that your people have to escape it's evilness.
Anambra has no connection to Sharia, so it cannot show what Sharia commands. The same applies to Imo, where a 14 year old escaped a forced marriage six times over three years, only for her family to return her each time. That has nothing to do with Islam either. By your reasoning, this would mean Igbo custom and Nigerian Christianity command evil too, since she had to escape and no court declared the practice illegal. If that conclusion is invalid for Imo, the same standard applies to Sharia, the northern states, and the Afghanistan case you cited.

Fleeing an abuser is evidence against the abuser, not proof of what a text commands. That was your original standard, so show the verse or hadith, not the crime.

No legal system abandons its entire code because someone violates it. Enugu voiding an underage marriage did not invalidate Nigerian civil law, it enforced it. So when you ask whether an Islamic court declared Sharia null, void and inapplicable, you're asking for something no legal system does in response to individual violations, Nigerian civil law included. Non enforcement is not doctrinal failure. And it isn't even accurate to say nothing happens since in Kano, a man who abducted and married off a 13 year old was arrested and charged after police recovered her, and in Bauchi an Upper Sharia Court overturned a lower Sharia court's own death sentence against a teenager, ruling it null and void and ordering her acquittal. That's an Islamic court doing exactly what you're demanding.

Prevalence is worse in the North, agreed, 48% married by 15 and 78% by 18. But poverty, illiteracy, and custom are the main drivers, not scripture, and that holds in southern states as well, where it happens under Igbo customary law.

So the request stands to show that Islam commands this. Not what individual Muslims did regardless of how far they strayed from what the religion actually prescribes. You've given me criminal acts and enforcement gaps, and your own state has both, along with cases of authorities acting against them.

Prejudices and biases are always personal and every time they come up they meet condemnation from all quarters including those who even come from the same quarters and share the same ideas, because everyone knows that prejudice and biases are evil and unjust.

But when, such prejudices and biases are willingly adopted by a whole community, state or country then it is a very huge evil community. And this is where the condemnation by the members of that community is valuable.

But this is completely absent in your Islam, all of you agree with it and you who say that they are wrong and bad here, do not even say it to them.

And thank God that you admitted that the organs of govt in Anambra took action against the man who did this kind of evil.

But has any Islamic subscribing state or country done this?
No

Or have they declared it prohibited and uninslamic?
No!

So, you have not said anything in defence of islam and sorry you cannot for "There's no Valid Argument against the Truth".
Anambra wasn’t even a Muslim case, so what exactly does it prove about Islam? And no condemnation is still a baseless claim. Indonesia, Pakistan, Tunisia, Morocco and Bangladesh have marriage-age laws, and Muslim scholars condemn child abuse. One thread isn’t proof of doctrine.

In Kaduna for instance two 14-year-old girls escaped planned marriages and were sheltered, while a Sharia court told 20-year-old Fatima Aliyu’s father he could not simply force her into marriage. So where is this Islam offers no protection coming from?

Interesting reasoning but worst of all is your wrong self justification to haunt me.

A 70-year-old man marrying a 9-year-old girl in Afghanistan is disgusting. Nobody should be defending that. But let's be intellectually honest, an old man abusing a child doesn't automatically make every Muslim responsible, any more than a crime committed by a Christian makes Christianity responsible for every Christian.
If someone wants to argue that Islam itself requires or endorses child marriage, then make that argument with actual Islamic texts and scholarship. That's a different debate.
Condemn the abuse. Protect the child. Hold the individual and anyone facilitating it accountable. But blaming an entire religion and everyone who follows it because of what one man did? That's not analysis. That's prejudice dressed up as criticism.

And the paper with Arabic writing could simply be a written prayer or supplication, something people across religions keep for reference and use. The paper itself proves nothing. The leaf could have been a discarded leaf wrap. Without a clearer description or image, there’s no basis for the conclusion you’re drawing.
Produce the verse or hadith, or drop the claim. More importantly, address your Catholic brethren, since this was originally a Saint Agatha discussion and you’re the one who brought Islam into it for no apparent reason.

There is nothing to say here. The thread already shows everything said and not said, it does not need you to say anything nor are you the one to set and determine what evidence that i should give. Even the courts do not say that. So, like the Catholics, rest in your paganism.
And what have you been doing? There's no definite point to any particular reference if there is restate just it seems I missed it. Don't gloss over the fact of the courts' verdict about what weight or validity a reference has.

Better keep your grouse with your Catholic brethren.
Christianity Etc › Re: Saint Agatha Skull Display In Vatican: Nigerian Catholic Priests React To Video by Explore2xmore:
Still no verse or hadith quoted, that was the only ask. Everything else is noise.
Carry on with your likes the Catholics who trace their faith and scripture to Israel, Rome, and Greece like you and are the same ones in the skull ritual, inventing practice just as you invent Satan into Genesis. No need to import Islam into something already inside Christianity's own house.

You really believe that as long as you don't agree, a debate continues, what a joker. No one needs you to agree that you lost but everyone knows a person starts losing an argument until he finally loses, hence why you are repeating yourself in loop mode.

The thread already shows and proves that every claim made was followed by it's requisite evidence and that you responded to them until you found that you did not have any valid counter to make. And then,you resorted to the fallacies of increasing the burden of proof, reversing the burden of proof, argumentum ad triviality etc.as grasped for air when you real eyesed you had no valid reasonable argument to make again. And so now you are wailing because "There is no valid argument against the Truth"!. So, you need not waste your time saying anything as it is completely vain

Repetition is proof that you do not have any valid argument to make again because, "There is no Valid Argument Against the Truth".

So, even if you keep repeating yourself and trying to twist around to reopen the debate, you have already lost the debate, because it is invalid to reargue what has been argued and settled.

So, sorry, you lost for "There is no Valid Argument Against the Truth". That is A Law i am certain you never knew so you thought that as long as you do not say you give in to a debate and you are saying something for argument, the debate can never end. No sir, you are not the Ruler of Debates, God and Law is.
Pitiful, your inability to back up your claims based on loose and careless utterances. Rather than address the actions of a fellow holding a skull in some ceremony or ritual, you turned to

1. Satan influenced Sarai to push Abraham toward a child by another woman something the text itself frames as customary. No satanic influence there.

2. A claim that Satan thus created Catholic Christianity and Islam, without showing how.

3. A careless claim of prescribed behaviour from Islam, without showing where the religious text clearly prescibes.

Three unproven claims, each one stacked on the last unanswered one. Declaring a debate over doesn't end it; that's what's actually on record.

No, i am not. As soon as I answered the burden of proof passed to you.

And no, 4 times have I presented evidence which even confirmed and affirmed and then you responded to it by invalidly trying to shift and increase the stand of evidence because you find that you have no counter to my assertion. And now in attempt to discharge the burden of proof, you are repeating yourself in an attempt to relitigate. That is proof you don't have any valid and reasonable counter.

First, references are references how much more global public references in the very same place where this debate is taking place. This is you now resorting to the fallacy of triviality all because you have no valid counter to my argument.

My dear opponent, you have no ammo because "There is no Valid Argument against The Truth". That is The Law.
NO PLEASE. Repetition isn’t proof of validity. I’ve asked the same question throughout: quote the Qur’an verse or hadith that actually supports your claim. You still haven’t. Likewise, Genesis 16 never says Satan moved Sarai, so that claim needs textual support too. Forum links describing incidents aren’t primary religious texts to support your views about what you claim of Islam; references are references doesn’t erase that distinction. Declaring victory by decree isn’t an argument it simply avoids the evidentiary gap.

Did you not claim and infer from my statement that because "Satan isn’t mentioned anywhere in Genesis 16 therefore, he is not there? So, see you inferred my statement, therefore you can see and infer that satan compelled Sarai's as no normal free woman ever does that, if Truly, you want to rid of your religious bias.

And as you just admitted, the Bible does not record every human activity for it knows that we are capable of filling in the blanks. So, no need repeating yourself for it is clear that the childlessness was just an opportunity for satan to implement his evil plans.

Secondly, i have already given the evidence and then instead of you to directly deny the fact and evidence for every one here to see, you changed post and resorted to increasing the standard and burden of proof by calling for more evidence beyond that which is necessary in the circumstances as i already told you, you have done, which you are still doing because it is apparent you have no valid counter to make.

As for the links, are you not an individual claiming that your religion is voluntary? So it is in order to point out the several individuals (for it is a thread) who prove you do not say the Truth and the links contain quotes of your Quran and Hadiths, so you really do not have any valid argument to make but trying to resort to the fallacy of composition, cherry-picking, or trivial objections.
You're inverting the burden, absence of Satan in the text means no claim can be asserted without evidence yet you use that same absence as proof he was secretly there misleading Sarai. That's not parity; it's asserting exactly what remains unshown. Nowhere does Genesis 16 or elsewhere in the biblical text depict Satan tempting, deceiving, or pushing Sarai toward giving Hagar to Abraham; the text gives childlessness and custom as the stated reason, nothing more. Filling in blanks still needs textual grounding, not free invention.

And since when did Nairaland threads become an accepted global reference? Linking to other posts isn't a citation it's outsourcing the burden of proof. If you're claiming Islam commands something, quote the actual Qur'an verse or hadith directly here so it can be examined, not pointed to secondhand. Obviously there's nothing concrete you can rely on.

So unless, it is mentioned in Genesis 16, then the people there did not pee and defecate? And for you to state Genesis 16, is that not you inferring?

And asking for public confirmation of a fact since it appears that you do not want to declare the Truth seen in nature, is not an appeal to the popular sentiment.

How is it voluntary when you people ostracize and murder those brave enough to leave your religion?https://www.nairaland.com/8430479/22-yr-old-zamfara-lady-faces#135442765

https://www.nairaland.com/281140/only-religion-earth-kills-duty#3992635

Or how is it voluntary when you people have laws like this
https://www.nairaland.com/1816312/marriage-non-muslim#24749538

Which free woman would consent to these?
https://www.nairaland.com/2135900/how-islam-treats-women-badly#30525374

I believe you are joking when you say voluntary and islam.

And finally, you have committed the fallacy of changing post and unilaterally increasing the standard of proof, all because you find that you have no reasonable objection against my assertion.
A few things are being conflated here. I never claimed Genesis 16 records every ordinary human activity. The point is that you’re making a positive claim that Satan moved Sarai, and that claim needs textual support. If that were actually part of the account, you’d expect the text to give some clear indication of it. Genesis 16:2 instead presents Sarai’s proposal in the context of childlessness and an ancient practice in which a barren wife could give her handmaid to her husband to produce an heir. We see a similar practice later with Rachel and Leah in Genesis 30. The text describes what happened; it doesn’t attribute Sarai’s decision to Satan.

And asking others to confirm something doesn’t turn everyone knows into evidence. If the claim is true, it should be supported by the evidence itself, not by how many people supposedly agree with it.

As for the links you add, individual cases of violence, ostracism, or abuse may be serious, but they don’t automatically establish Islamic doctrine. If you’re arguing that Islam commands something, quote the Qur’an or hadith you’re relying on and let’s examine it directly.

Finally, I haven’t changed the standard of proof. I’ve been asking for the same thing throughout, show the actual textual chain connecting Sarai, Satan, and specifically Islamic or Catholic doctrine. If that chain exists, present it. If it doesn’t, calling the request moving the goalposts doesn’t provide the missing evidence. It is calling for your integrity about what you say.

Which scripture would we use when you've got your scripture and i have got mine?

And for showing that Catholics come from satan,

That is why i also used realeyeity to further explain my statement and everyone here has dealt and lived with women enough to know that no free and normal woman is ever going to tell her husband to sleep with another woman and has never done that UNLESS when satan enters and moves her.

It is because by you Muslims believe in oppressing in slaving the female and have successfully done so is why you are able to think that a woman will do such. Everyone knows that A slave has no choice but must always bend to the will of her masters.

Whereas, all over the free world, no woman does that and has never done that and will never ever do that unless when satan enters her and makes her do it.

The childlessness was just the opportunity satan used to make her fulfill his will and plans.

And for Catholicism coming from satan, this thread already proves it for paganism comes from satan in addition to the other fruits i have listed already.

So, the link and HCF and LCM between Sarai, Islam and Catholicism is Satan
There appears to be unreasonable bias attached to your reading and chosen understanding. Satan isn’t mentioned anywhere in Genesis 16 unless you have a way to show me; that connection is your inference, based on modern assumptions about marriage, projected onto an ancient, custom-driven narrative. And everyone knows isn’t evidence but an appeal to popular sentiment. Voluntary participation in a religious/cultural practice isn't slavery and in fact Islam truly honours women and wives.

Likewise, saying paganism comes from Satan, therefore Catholicism, Islam and Satan skips the crucial convincing explanatory step. You still have to demonstrate the actual textual chain from Sarai to specifically Catholic doctrine. Sharing a vague ancestral connection through paganism does not establish that link. You'll need to provide verifiable references if you want to insist further.
