Lagosboy:
Please include me in your prayer tonight that Allah grants me my heart desires and my requests to him by virtue of his beloved names. Ameen

Jarus:
It's not possible. I wont approach a lady that doesn't pray or cover her head in the first place. That's the minimum.

I think a muslim lady who doesn't pray may just need to be encouraged. If eventually she does, there is a reward for the one who through the will of God directs her in the righteous path.

I abhor tribalism in its minutest form. I passionately dislike this 'marry only Kwara' thing our parents do. I have been a rebel in the family because of this strange stance. I try to make them see reason that I don't care even she's oyinbo or Igbo, in as much as she's a Muslim. I told them they can't stop me. And in fact, if Hajara's had worked out, I would have stood my ground to standstill and I know after serious persuasion, they would finally accept and bless it. I was ready to break the tradition by marrying that Nupe lady but due to to tribalism in her own family too, it didn't work out.

So I don't subscribe to tribalism at all. I don't have any problem with Lagos ladies personally, but then, one needs to respect one's parent's wish and amke them happy, even as one tries to convince them that tribalism is not allowed in Islam.

True talk. Our parents are only trying to make sure that if something happens they know who they are dealing with and who to turn to. I remember when I was growing up and my cousins will come home with b/friends or g/friends, the first thing out of our parents was "omo ile bo ni" "tani awon obi re" and they better name one of the well-known family or else,
I found myself in that situation, when I forbid my children from marrying a non-African, non-Nigerian, non-Yoruba (above all) nor a non-Muslim. How restricted can that be in the USA (all five raised and reside in America). I pray to God relentlessly about it. They know how important the Muslim part is (they all go to 'ile-kewu' here, and the 2 oldest graduated from their quranic studies even b4 graduating from high school) but they always argue about the tribe thingy.

Alhamdulillahi, the oldest (girl) is married to a Nigerian (Yoruba) Muslim. The 2nd girl is married to a non-Nigerian/Yoruba but a Muslim. I struggled to try and prevent this from happening but finally, when I see that the guy is very nice, respectful despite being an American, I gave up. May God answer my prayers on the other three, especially the boy.

Enuf said. I pray that God grant your parents' wishes as well as yours. Insha Allah, bi kudiratullah, very soon, you will find her.

Why are we all of a sudden featuring daily on the international scene?
For four straight days, Nigeria has been on the BBC news website for negative reasons, not that other Countries and Nationals dont commit atrocities, but this is becoming ridiculous.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee; am not like you who sucks his uncircumcised de/ek while chanting allahu akbar. Foolish bigot.

Abu Zola:
Iya fayezik, whats the matter, why you dey yab nau,

Aloy~Emeka:
I didn't know Abuzola is such a hero that someone will want to imitate him although I am not surprised that an obese  tribalist  and religious juggernaut  like you will idolize and wet her pants for him. You may need to retire to the allah section. We don't idolize allah here, rather we talk about the living Jehovah here.
