aputel: I know it's a question of time before the police will get him, the guy just emerged withoit any background with opukence. He bought a land very near Sabo and constructed a petrol station and embark on a majestic building . You can hardly find five cars in his petrol station because all the people know the man is into questionable business. Stinkingly rich with no background,you can't see him in daytime but dead of the night around the structure . He is not alone. there are others within the ikorodu axis ,some into hotels business. I really salute the courage of Ambode by not negotiating crime with politics .
My brother have said it all, there are more and in no time they will be revealed, there wealth are questionable, this alaka was once known as a 419 now he graduated to ritual killings.. They will know no peace for all the lives they have taken
Kingharzyz: This bidia or innovation of a thing still remain a topic I found difficult to comprehended fully.
According to the op we should not do anything that our predecessor didn't do but come to look at it we do a lot of things that the new age brought... Is it that its bad because they didn't do it or the idea is bad.
We are allowed to do a lot of things they didn't do, but when talking about worship and its act, we are not allowed to add anything from our desire or imagination, why we follow the predecessor's action is because they lived with the prophet and witness Islam firsthand, I'm sure it's rather safer to follow their acts than innovative which could bring regret.
What is the ruling concerning what is known as al-ma`tim, in which people gather for three days after the burial in order to recite the Quran?
He Responded:
The gathering in the house of the deceased to eat, drink and recite the Qur'aan is an innovation. Similarly, their getting together to pray for the person and make supplications for him are also innovations. There is no source for it. All that should be done is that, people come to pay condolences, pray for the person, ask for mercy for them, console their grieving and encourage them to be patient. To gather for what they call al- ma'tim, to make particular supplications, particular prayers or reading of the Quran has no basis whatsoever. If that were a good act, our pious predecessors would have done it.
The Messenger of Allaah صلي الله عليه و سلم did not do it. When Jaafar ibn Abee Taalib, Abdullaah ibn Rawaaha and Zaid ibn Haaritha were killed at the Battle of Mu'tah and the Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم received the news through revelation, the Prophet announced that to the Companions and told them their news. He supplicated for them and asked Allaah to be pleased with them. He did no make a gathering. He did not prepare a meal or have a ma'tim. All of that he did not do even though the three who died were from the most virtuous of the Companions. When Abu Bakr died, also no one made a ma'tim, even though he was the best of the Companions. When Umar was killed, no one made a ma'tim. The people did not gather to pray or read the Qur'aan for him. Uthman and Ali were killed and the people did not gather after a specific time to pray for them, ask mercy for them or prepare food for them. It is, however, recommended for the relatives or neighbors of the deceased to prepare food for the deceased's family and to send that food to them. This is similar to what the Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم did when the news of Jaafar's death came to him. He said to his family,
"Prepare food for the family of Jafar as something has occurred to them that is preoccupying them."'
The family of the deceased are preoccupied with their loss. To prepare food for them and send it to them is what is legal sanctioned. However, to add to their affliction and to put more responsibilities on their shoulders by making them prepare food for the people goes completely against the sunnah. In fact, it is an innovation.
Jareer ibn Abdullaah al-Bajali said, "We used to consider gathering with the family of the deceased and preparing food after the burial as a kind of lamentation." And lamentation is forbidden. This is to raise one's voice, while the deceased is punished in the grave due to the wailing over him. One must avoid such practices. However, there is no harm in crying with tears.
I know this question is out of context but I really need to know... Does anyone have an idea of how much Lagos State is paying monthly to those that were successful in the Lagos State Internship program selection process
originalKsp: Very very very serious. We have too many tribalistic people here on nairaland.
It's saddening how we allowed our polithievians to plant the seed of tribalism in us. They will unite together to loot this country and then rely on their tribal brothers and sisters to defend them when they are being prosecuted.
henry007: As for me i always have my ntel mifi close by, i've never considered using mobile data, In Nigeria, mobile data really heats up the phone and drains battery. I was shocked when i found out that it's not the same in every other country.
ntel is not everywhere and I'm not sure Tecno L9plus heats up cos my wife never complained about L8plus heating b4..I stay in Ikorodu so I doubt if there's ntel coverage
shedy03: pro is not necessary. in naija, 4G is just letter and digit. is there 4G gsm service in naija? I only read on papers. MTN 3G at its best is just fine to me. tecno L9 plus is great.
well you are right, I was hoping in few years time we'll develop and I won't have to worry of the pace if it was 4G enabled.

Today I went thru the front door, with a low budget, to different phone outlets hoping to get something reasonable in price and specs. Guess what, I came across different captivating phones, I kept on telling myself tecno wasn't an option but when I held dis beautiful beast with very light weight, fingerprint scanner, 5000mah, Android 7.0, to mention a few. Wow wow wow, I just kept on wowing. To the lovers and haters of tecno, I'll be doing a review of this silent beast soon!! As if I sabi wetin review mean... abeg check YouTube joor or get urs, I no be marketer, Good night
I can't believe I feel happy just by reading ppl s comment abton Xiaomi mi phones expecially the Note 4x, I really wish to have one and I will like to know how much it will cost in naira, I have downloaded the app and I still need to know more.
omoharry: the magic where dem use for you dey strong well well..even hardship self nor fit cure am..but i know that APC and PDP has failed.We look forward to a party that is devoid of the name PDP OR APC.
Not just devoid of the name, we are more concern abt the people in the party... Birds of same feathers
dumodust: Stupid move from same old troops, they should ask for a customs clearance for everything then to know if it's clearance certificate is fake- laptops, shoes, toothpick, pencils, condoms etc Morons... they wont concentrate on doing the actual work of fighting smuggling and and entrenched corruption in the service. And if that old man that is insulting our collective intelligence by refusing to wear uniform, a laid down principle of service, continues to flaunt his ignorant pride- sack him!!!
Your words stinks!! If one of your problems can be solved, would u rather leave it cos u can solve it all?

Ignorance is a disease, is the Umar Musa University federal? Use ur brain and make research before contributing. Chai tax payers... Do Christians pay tax in katsina. Even though I don't support the idea but don't just rush to type.. Mtscheewww
laudate: Ikorodu is now far better than Mowe, from what I have heard. There is a BRT bus service that can take you straight from Ikorodu to the Lagos Island, and if you are really scared about the traffic, there is a ferry service daily from Ikorodu to CMS/Ebute Ero on the Island. Power supply is also more stable in Ikorodu than Mowe, because of the Egbin power station that is located in that axis.
You are on point, I stay in Ikorodu now, a place I use to rubbish when the land was cheap, we have good access road to everywhere though congestion is inevitable during the rush hours. The only issue here is getting a trusted agent due to omo onile issue
Only a fool will say barcanista is a goat or whatsoever, he didn't create the article at 1st instance, he only made a comment on what he read, we all need to be very careful before reading and trusting anything from this Media of ours, most if them are Amateur.
PaulKillerman: . ; He says he believes religion is important ; which of course it is to his patrons , who patronises his platform; and as such he is suppose to wish them well as they mark their event. .
I'm Christian; but to be true with us, religion has a way of dimming ones mind and make u very bleak and dismal in reasoning; it doesn't help u delve into that pool of inquisition, to find answers to the unknown; reason why most inventors whose ideas have changed mankind are atheist ; and Africa which is very religion have always lived in mediocrity and have never invented anything to help humanity...
I can sense how confused you are, religion does not in anyway limit your thinking as u claimed, though not your fault it's due to spending too much time on nairaland reading foolish comments from confused atheist , You claim to be a Christian and not a Big got, is there anywhere in your religion where u are taught to think less and not invent? please stop doing follow follow.
oglalasioux: There's no god anywhere like religion will want us to believe. Why would he let this happen if there was?
No one should give me that crap about god having a reason for everything. Reason? when people are dead and in an agonizing painful way?
The church was built badly and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Once we kick away religion and face reality the earth and it's inhabitants will be better off.
I see! The earth u created or the one dat just occurred itself abi? Oh I forgot, one yeye eruption happened and boom! We came out of it? Abi. Mtscheewww.. Next!
balash: There is nothing in the Qur’aan to say that we should celebrate the Mawlid or birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet himself (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not do this or command anyone to do it, either during his lifetime or after his death. Indeed, he told them not to exaggerate about him as the Christians had exaggerated about Jesus (upon whom be peace). He said: “Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about the son of Maryam. I am only a slave, so say, ‘The slave of Allaah and His Messenger.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari). What has been reported is that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made the day of his birth a day of worship, which is different to celebration. He was asked about fasting on Mondays, and he said: “That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I was entrusted with the Mission or when I was first given Revelation.” (Reported by Muslim, al-Nisaa’i and Abu Dawood).
Moreover, we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) were the people who loved the Prophet most. Was it reported that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who loved him the most, celebrated the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Was it reported that ‘Umar, who ruled for twelve years, or ‘Uthmaan, did this? Was it reported that ‘Ali, his relative and foster son, did this? Was it reported that any of the Sahaabah did this? No, by Allaah! Is it because they were not aware of its importance, or did they not truly love the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? No one would say such a thing except one who has gone astray and is leading others astray.
Did any of the imaams – Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi’i, Ahmad, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen – do this or command others to do it or say that it was good? By Allaah, no! It was not even mentioned during the first and best three centuries. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a saheeh hadeeth: “The best of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi). The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later, when many of the features of true religion had vanished and bid’ah had become widespread.
Thus this celebration became a sign of one’s love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? But can it be possible that the Sahaabah, the imaams and the people of the best three centuries were unaware of it, and it was only those who came later who were aware of its importance?! What the Qur’aan tells us is that love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is demonstrated by following the guidance he brought. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say: ‘Obey Allaah and the Messenger.’ But if they turn away, then Allaah does not like the disbelievers.” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:31-32]
The first aayah explains that love is just a claim, but the proof of sincerity is following what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) brought. The second aayah reaffirms the importance and necessity of obeying Allaah and His Messenger. Hence Allaah ended the aayah with a very stern warning in which those who refuse to obey are described as kaafirs, and Allah does not love the disbelievers. We ask Allaah to keep us safe from that. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of the danger of not obeying him, and the danger of adding to what he brought. The celebration of Mawlid or his birthday is indeed an addition to what he brought – as all the scholars agree. He said: “The best of speech is the Book of Allaah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The most evil of things are those which are newly-invented (in religion), and every innovation is a going astray.” (Reported by Muslim and al-Nisaa’i).
We ask Allaah to protect us from bid’ah and to bless us by helping us to follow. Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
May Allah bless you and your household abundantly, words cannot express how happy I am for this exciting write up and enlightenment, the best if guidance is that of the prophet
