Dear OP

Go to the probate registry and apply for the letter of administration of your dad's estate if he did not leave any will.

You need the letter of administration to administer all his estate, the letter will also give you the locus standi to sue for the recovery of his pension fund.

Probate registry are in the high court premises of your state. Please involve the law to have the locus standi.

Buekor Nyornebari Grace, a first class graduate of Applied and Environmental Biology (Microbiology Option) at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, UST has cried out to the Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike to come to her aid in securing employment at the University.

The 2016 first class graduate who is also an indigene of the state graduated with a CGPA of 4.95 and is supposed to work as an assistant lecturer based on her status as first class graduates before her were usually retained but Grace's case seems to be peculiar as she is not been that lucky.

According to Jonathan Oyim, a colleague of her at UST, she has been knocking on doors of opportunities but these are not opening since their convocation on 1st April 2017.

Below are her transcript:

"On the day of the convocation, when the governor came, he didn't make any pronouncement because there was embargo on recruitment in Rivers State" Jonathan said.

"That convocation produced 5 first class students in the full school of which 3 are non Rivers indigenes while only 2 are Rivers and she was the best graduating student for the year" he continued.

"During service, she started making moves on how the process of retaining will be but she was told to hold on due to the embargo that was on and she should pray that the governor uplifts it so the process can commence" Jonathan concluded.

It would be recalled that Buekor Nyornebari Grace was among the 7 students awarded in 2014 with a laptop for their academic excellence after her Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at 100-Level was 5.00 in 100 level scoring As all through.

Currently, Grace is teaching in a primary school and earning ₦18000.

OR IS MIMIKO A YORUBA NAME?

Kindly desist from quoting me henceforth, it is apparent that holding an intelligent conversation isn't your forte.

hammerVJ:


YORUBA DONT HAVE DRESS, DEY BORROW COTH FROM EVERYBODY AND EVERYWHERE.

THEY USUALLY WEAR THE ONE FULANI BORROW THEM.

MIMIKO, PREFER TO STICK TO HIS EASTERN ROOTS CLOTHING.

Ok

hammerVJ:



THIS IS YORUBA DRESS.


MIMIKO IS DRESSING LIKE A EASTERNER OR NIGERDELTAN.

So yoruba have only one kind of dress? What makes that dress eastern or nigerdeltan??

hammerVJ:



IS MIMIKO A YORUBA NAME?

MIMIKO is a full ondo yoruba name and the full version of the name is Ifamimikomi. Translates as ifa game mi another one.

hammerVJ:
HE DOESN'T EVEN DRESS LIKE A YORUBA MAN.

Lol... That's yoruba dress, to cap it all he was even wearing Awolowo's cap.

Brilliantly written, apt and so on point.

Where was your almighty imported god when his ''only son'' was being slaughtered?
You are only sharp and critical when it comes to African religion. Your imported religion will tell you to wait for the next 1,000 years to be ''saved'' and just ''believe'', and you will do so meekly like a mumu. You only get smart when they mention African religion. Demanding to know why it doesn't all work immediately. Colonised man.

I hate it when people ask stupid question like where were the African gods when the white people were enslaving them but never asked where was yarweh when Adolf Hitler was killing 6 million of his chosen generation.

Ardar:
From the comments above I can see why yorubers created this topic, the news of fulani terrorists in their land killing and kidnapping them pained them deep into their oblong skulls.

The same way you miserable savage societal misfits were jubilating on the news of fulani herdsmen in the west when they are busy claiming your ancestral land.

Having said that, never in your miserable, pathetic life quote me or I will decimate your savage brain with nuclear missiles.

You have been forewarned.

Watch as they will start shouting yoruba muslims up and down when their own house is on fire.

Empiree:
it was more about the practice then than the name. Today it is now about name than the practical. I heard of the word "Sufism" first time in 2010 in sheikh imran Hussein's lecture. From discriptions and definition I came to realized most of world of Islam have always been Sufi. For instance in my household in the 80s and 90s my sheikh would only say "awón oniwiridi". It is Yoruba word for Sufism. And ilorin is the den of wiridi. I'm just sick of charlatans. They are sick in the head. I even heard that some of them recite solati fatih in place of Sura Fathia in salat. This is obvious bidiah and must be condemned. They have no salat. Although I have not personally witnessed this.



I don't think it is about superiority over Ali(ra). I think they mentioned the first 3 the most due to succession.

Now, I have learned further over the years and recently when I spoke with ilorin based Alfa. He said "truly, Ali was actually and was supposed to be the first caliph of Islam but this is òrò inúle". Exactly how he put it.

I certainly understand even from long ago. But Shia approach just can be wrong about the issue of succession and especially for cursing sahaba regardless of their status. This is wrong.

So if we look at it critically, no father would want external body to inherit him. Prophet Muhammad (saw) would definitely wanted Ali to be his successor whether immediately after him or later. This is why I see no reason for ummah to fight over this because, at the end of the day, Ali became caliph.


We have examples all around us. A good father, imam, sheikh or public figure would not want his son to be at the forefront of everything. Instead, you let your son humble himself and lay low while learning. He son will later ascends his father's position sooner or later. Take a look at Sheikh Adam (ra), after he passed away, sheikh Habeeb did not become mudir immediately after him. It took years. It was someone else in that position. Perhaps, non-relative. I don't know who that was. Sheikh Adam's family is parallel to Nabi Muhammad (saw). After Sheikh Habeeb ascended rector of murkaz that's when disagreement about succession and rivalry started within the family especially btw sheikh Habeeb and his brother, sheikh Thaoban till this day.

Similarly, household of Nabi with respect to succession is at war till this day. My point is, blood relative (s) will always be successor. No public figure would want external people to take over his position after him. This is why Sheikh Habeeb and his brother had arguments. They have different accounts of whom their father appointed to be mudir. Either way, none of them was mudir immediately after him it was external body bcuz I'm sure sheik Habeeb and his brother were somewhat young at the time. Which means S. Ali (ra) was a young lad too.

Their father relegated their statuses when he was alive so that they do not show off. This is what Nabi Muhammad did. He used to place Abu Bakr at the forefront but this doesn't mean he knows better than Ali.

Allow me to narrated a story that I do not have reference for . It was said that before Prophet (saw) passed away he informed his sahaba that none of them should inherit his minbar. After he passed away, no one prayed at his minbar during caliph Abu Bakr all through caliph Usman (ra). That's quite number of decades until Ali (ra) became kalipha. He ascent the minbar and prayed there.

Other companions who were aware of the prophet' instruction rebuked Ali and reiterated Nabi's warning that no one should inherit his "minbar". It is at this time Sayyidina Ali(ra) now interpreted the meaning of minbar. He said what Nabi Muhammad (saw) meant by minbar was his wives. That's, no one should inherit his wives after him, not prayer station.

Ali is really really knowledgeable, I read one of his brilliant poems the way it was written, its deep meaning, its consonance with modern day science really swept me off my feet.

aadoiza:


Only time will tell.
At the emboldened sentence, that they fail to realise.



I love this. It seems you all do reflect on most of these issues. I didn't even know then they were called Sufi even though I grew up in their midst. All I knew was some were called tijaniyyah, some qadiriyyah (this i used to identify with), but l wasn't very proud about ways.

The height of my disillusionment with tijaniyyah was when a sheik, I went for his asalatu, said Niyyas was the Holy Prophet's incarnate just as Amadu tijani was, and I just couldn't wait to leave that gathering. However; I have always known how how these sufis always stay awake at night to do dhikr, though some of them don't observe salah. I thought about their love of dhikr for a very long time and said to myself, sheik Adam, Sambo, Salati, et al, could not all have been wrong and asked myself why would these great respectable scholars deliberately choose the path of shaytan? While still reflecting on this, I told my big brother that if there is anything like pristine sufism the sufis will be the best among Muslims for their constant remembrance of Allah.
Not too long ago, I started reading Sheikh Empiree's exposition on sufism and it clicked.



I don't know if I should hold any belief in the superiority one of them over the others, but one thing is certain, the sunnis seem to believe the first three khalifas after Rasool were superior to Ali, and I think that's why they would mention those ones 10 times before Ali but they don't hate him like the Shia say. Personally, I have come to favour Imam Ali more, especially after reading about what was done to him and his family by our fellow Muslim brothers ( I read the horrific account here first either by LagosShia or Albaqir).
I want to have a first-hand experience of shiism like you, brother, not just guzzling the disinformation littering our airways. It's sickening!!!


Ultimately, this should be the goal of every modern-day Muslims. Let's forget whatever brought about this insidious schism in our religion, after all none of us played a role in its genesis, and chart a new unifying course for the Ummah. Is this too much to ask?

May Allah have mercy on us Muslims, death of muslims from fellow muslims seems to be even more than from non muslims.

aadoiza:

This is shocking. Most of the so-called salafis could be reckless sometimes. The way they go about foisting their aqeedah on everyone does not portray them as true allu sunnah. If I hadn't met a few good ones I would have thought that the sect was based on hate. I have come to realise that most of the recklessness and extremism shown by the various sects, first, have to do with the individuals involved rather than the sects themselves. For instance, some of the Sufi guys, especially the yoruba ones, have come across here in Lagos are in to shirk. In fact, it got to a point in my life when I started contemplating whether witches could be as powerful as the almighty Allah SWT. This stemmed from the kind of sermons I was listening to by these people then, but not all sufists would espouse such obvious shirk. And then we have heard about cases of some shia cursing some sahaba, cutting themselves (self-flagellation) to supposedly share in imam Hussein's (RA) suffering during his murder, and so on. And again not all of them do these. (Albaqir, if you know of any Shia masjid in Lagos come I can go to worship sometimes. I have to know these people not just believing all the shocking things I hear about them.)
So it's the individuals not necessarily the sects per se. It's why I always say our beloved Prophet would be utterly disappointed in us, even with self-styled Allu sunnah.

About the salafist, I feel they have a hidden agenda but are hiding under the pretext of sunna to achieve it. If the prophet had practised Islam the way they practice it now few people will accept it from him, heck he even warned us against extremism in religion.

I used to be very wary about the sufis just like you and this is due to the traces of shirk I see from these so called sufis. Instances like bowing to the picture of Ibrahim niyas, and stuffs like that gives credence to my wariness. It was Empiree that changed my perspective about them, he said we should look at the basis and not how some misguided people claiming to be sufis proclaim sufis to be. Sufism in its true and pure form was based on the glorification and remembrance of Allah which has over the years been corrupted. We dont judge islam based on the madness of ISIS and boko haram.

About the shias cutting themselves to share in the pains of the progeny of the prophet I don't think it is part of the basis of shiasm so many shia scholars have condemned it in its entirety. I think sunnis like playing this card to portray shias in bad light.

I recently went on a voyage of discovery about shiasm bro, what I found out is still shocking to me. All I can say for now is that I believe in the superiority of Ali above all other caliphs, this believe is reinforced by numerous hadiths one of which the prophet calls himself the city of knowledge and Ali is the gate. And please shia don't worship Ali.

left for me I wish there is no sect or division in Islam, it breeds contempt and sectionalism which will do muslims no good. It blinds people from seeing the beauty of true Islam.

aadoiza:


That emboldened statement is our biggest problem.




A thing I have also wondered about our salafi imams here as well. And dem go dey shout sunnah upandan.



I think Albaqir is purposely doing this to expose the double standard therein.



Some no go wan agree with this. Sectarianism has consumed the better part of some people's brains.

During my university days salafis almost destroyed the Muslim community, they hijacked MSSN, condemned group zikr, condemned muslims greeting each other jumah Mubarak they said the sahabas never did it.

This did not go down well with the lecturers, the conflict got to the point that mosques in OAU halls of residence are still closed to this day.

Sultan of sokoto, Etsu of Nupe, MUSWAN had to step in to relief tension.

Empiree:
See trap. A Muslim must be very concious to avoid this trap. Don't go to them in the first place. Imagine a Muslim brother was butchered and these people got away with it.

I'm taking about a tijjaniya member who was killed in abeokuta for preaching to alawo. These alawo have signature. If they intend to kill Muslims they kill without traces and in a very nasty, inhumane manner. In the time of Alfa Apalara in 1955, Muslims then were stern. They made sure those alawo involved in Apalara's death faced justice. But today, Gawat disappeared and nothing is done. No traces of his footprints. It is very possible Alawo or oloro took him away. Unfortunately this is not definitive until we hear of the outcome in the future.

But AbdulRazak Gawat's disappearance is suspected to have been carried out by the same oloro and alawo because it was said that Gawat was organizing death anniversary of Alfa Apalara when he disappeared.


As for Ifa, from what I have studied overtime was that ifa practices centuries ago was simply innocent. It is scientific fact God endowed Yoruba people but unfortunately, down the road centuries ago Yoruba corrupted and turned into deities which is what it is today. So today, ifa is no longer innocent. It is shirk because there is no way someone would consult ifa priests without them praising and rendering Allah's Attributes to their deities. Which contravene Islamic Sharia code in section 165 of Surah Al-Baqara and 48 of An-Nisa. So there is no reason for any muslim to encourage ifa even in speech. This was the mistake ikupakuti fell into but he's not here to defend himself. Therefore, it is unfair to persecute in his absence.

Again, if you listen to documentary of IFA it was only had to do with binaries/sciences but was corrupted long before our forefathers. Plus Alawo have taken it as part of their central aqeeda. It is now Haram for muslims to have anything to do with it even if they tell you accurate information after consulting them it is still Haram and kufr.

They do see some fact but it is Allah that allows them to see what they see. However the reason they will be punished (unless they renounce before they die) is because they go through the wrong channel like the story I was narrating in ilorin. Ikupakuti already told me it is Haram and kufr. But he only narrated concept of IFA at outstart. He should have been explicit that ifa is no longer what it was. For centuries it was corrupted when they attributed deities to it. Just like Jesus, it is impossible for Christians to return to monotheism while holding on to their biblical beliefs. Likewise it is impossible for Olu Ifa to return ifa to just science/binaries.


#mykoboopinion#

I humbly adopt this reasoning as mine, heck there is even an odu ifa that talked about suratul Ikhlas. I know someone that personally investigated this and the babalawo explained everything to him verbatim. The babalawo further says if anyone consults ifa and this odu comes out the person is going to receive goodness.

This fact amongst other things confirmed my conviction that Islam is the way.

this brother wants to corner me by any means

The prayers vary depending on Niyah or purpose of prayer.

For instance, when you reach every mubin you recite

سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ (54:45

100 times, ya Qohar and ya jabar 100 times

Again it depends on what your prayer is about. I used this Ayah to dismiss court case. And the case stopped immidiately after case was filled till now. And In Sha Allah it will never rise again and I don't stop either. It not just for court cases but anything. And open your mouth and tell God that you want. You may also you use to distract evil people following you. But read the meaning of the Ayah if you can.

In the same instance you use Ayah of rizq(sustenance) to draw wealth or favor like I did with loan

Assalamu alahykun sir.

Can you please transliterate the Arabic part, and it will be better if I can get the rizq verse.

^^

As for me, my sign is i feel happy and light. I just feel excited for absolutely no reason. And by the time I check on the reason behind my dua to begin with, it is exactly where I wanted or how i wanted Allah to answer it. But the most important is, i just feel excited for no reason at all. All other things fall into place. Sometimes, it is not answered directly but indirect. Therefore, i do pay close attention to details.

For instance two year ago, i had a debt to pay off ($40k) but balance remained 15k. I had 5 yrs to pay it off but this amounts to interest and fees which i wanted to avoid by any means necessary. So if i was to pay off in 5 yrs as scheduled, i would end up paying additional 10k total of $50k at the end of the loan in 5 yrs. Interestingly, the company that issued my loan offers 'promotion' in form of a question. You click and answer the question and it disappeared forever until they announce winner. Winner would have his loan paid off in full regardless of balance left on the loan.

It was just one question and that's it. Result is read once every October but you must register before October. So a month before result was read, i went to masjid not too far from me just to pray maghrib and 'accidentally' picked up a 'tira' with compilation of dua. It is only 3 sura in it but technically arranged. Sura Yasin, Mulk and Kahf. You are to recite sura yasin and stop at every mubin and say your niyah and also read small dua written in every mubin. So i did this overnight 3 weeks before result was read. When result came out, it is only 1 person they needed out of millions of people they loaned.

Wallahi i was not recognized at all. I accepted my fate but i had feelings that my dua was answered without any doubt bcus, as i said earlier, i always feel excited for no reason and i did after making this dua. After Oct 2017 passed, just a week or 2 in November, my insurance company issued me a check for $5k. I called them to ask what it is about?. They said it is my entitlement. I can't be more than happy. I quickly put this toward my 15k balance. Now i have 10 left. Then, one idiot who owed me money all these yrs that i didnt even talked to anymore for over 5yrs sent me a check enclosed with letter apologizing to me and saying how it was not his fault. That was $2k i added. Now i have 8k left. The new insurance company i just signed up with at the time said i have paid too much upfront and the execcess is due to me. This is $4k. Do the math. Also, back in 2008, there was class action lawsuit against a company that defrauded consumers including me. The case was the company versus the govt. Govt fought on our behalf in court and this check also came in round that time. Everything i am talking about happened simultaneously btw November and December 2017. So i received check in the mail for this which is 80% of my outstanding debt. and the remaining balance is peanut that i paid out of my pocket. I couldn't thank God enough bcus i was thinking of how to pay off this debt without accruing riba for 5 yrs. I raised this loan to buy shares. Now, bcus i was able to pay off this loan in a yr, i quickly sold back my shares to another bank for half of the original loan and make 50% back. This was good bcus if i had waited 5yrs, my shares would lose value and most likely would be sold for peanut by 2023. So i sold my shares in January 2018 and debt free.


So dont think prayers are in vain. We learned in hadith that Allah answers dua 3 ways:


He answers dua right away

or

Answers your dua by not giving you what you asked for but He(swt) shields you from danger


or

He holds your dua till the Day of Judgement to get full reward

I always have this soul soothing feeling after my compulsory prayers (not always though) . I can't explain the feelings, it feels so good that tears of joy comes out of my eyes at times.
