I will suggest we create a Whatsapp group for this purpose those already in Abidjan and those aspiring to go to share ideas and answer questions

Maybe l should create it or another person should it's same.

I doubt if anyone will be bored in Abidjan if not for Language or lack of money to maximize the enjoyment of the Country. For those that can teach, you will surely get teaching jobs in Abidjan there are more than 50 Nigerian schools scattered all over Abidjan alone, though many of these schools don't have great structures but you should be less concerned about that as long as your cash is rolling in. Most schools l know in Abidjan pay their teachers per day like 2500CFA to 3500CFA per day depending on the school, though the teacher can bargain with the school management to be the getting his or her money at the end of the month most schools if not all will agree to that.


As for the language barrier, be patient you will understand their local French very quickly Abidjan remains one of the the French cities in Africa to Quickly learn local French because virtually everyone in that country speaks French even people as old as 90 and people living in their villages Speak good French too.


As for their women please be careful otherwise l doubt if you will return to Nigeria with N5,000 their women are exceedingly stunning you may not realize what you are into until you get to Ivorian/Ghanaian boarder in NOE and ELUBO respectively and OYO is your name. Try to visit their Zoo they have lots of Animals the last time l visited with my Friend, and also see their beaches and the first Ivorian capital BASSAM you will love you did. If you visit their beach on Weekends you may want to decide to be living near the beach lol. Please stay away from their women except your intention is to marry one of them lol Abidjan has a nice weather all year round.

I call Abidjan the food basket city of West Africa, food is in Abundance here you will love it here, this city can make you become a glutton if care is not taken just eat moderately and save decently. Their Electricity sometimes you will ask yourself are you still in West Africa or Europe?? because many times you can have electricity for three months at stretch without blinking. You will hate Nigeria more if you live in this city for just few days especially if you have little cash.

I know many Nigerians in Abidjan that have spent 30 years or more in the city most of them have not even attempted to visit their home country, don't blame them because about 40% or more now have ivorian passports.


You will continue to ask yourself what has Nigeria achieved as a country since 1960 of her independence. I always want to slap anyone to calls Nigeria giant of Africa, Nigeria is not even ant of Africa a country with no light, no water from the government, no good roads these shortcomings from our government always increase depression and devastation for my country men. l have never heard any news that an ivorian commit suicide in Abidjan atleast their government provide light, water and good roads for everyone and there is a very little gap between the rich and the poor in the country. The Last time l visited Bamako the Capital city of Mali despite the country being poor there were constant light, water and good roads.


You will never know what we are taking for granted in Nigeria except you leave the country. You can ask any Question about Abidjan or about the country as a whole because l visited their political capital(YAMSOKRO) and few other towns and villages last time l visited.

Koeman needs to be flogged enormously why removing Rooney and Gana he is very stupid he demaged the match himself

BARAKALLAHUFEEKUM

Extremely beneficial

Do you know the agency? why did you say it's a scam. I believe the company should elucidate more on how to get the visa, duration for the issuance of the visa, longevity of the visa and the amount for the whole process.

I have been a city Fan more than 7 years now we are growing here

Number 2 of course that phone was stronger than Mayweather

I will strongly advice the Op to take 5 days vacation to Cotonou he will understand the practical robbery of broad day light. MTN in Nigeria is like Evans compare to Oyenusi in robbery. I am presently in an hotel in Cotonou their internet data here is madly expensive and MTN here is the king of robbers

AbuUthaymeen:
good4all40 . . I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, WHEN WILL BIDA, SHIRK, KUFRU destroys one's deed? . . . when you are doing the bida, shirk, kufru OR when you become a kafir?. YOU ARE THE IGNORANT HERE. . ALL BIDA IS KUFRU BUT NOT EVERYONE DOING BIDA IS A KAFIR . . during the kufru act like bida, n0b0dy can call the pers0n kafir yet without making sure the pers0n didnt forget, nor made mistake nor is he forced. . .(its in quran). . after those opti0ns have been exhusted, then the pers0n is a kafir. . . SOME OR M0ST PEOPLE DOING BIDA ARE IGN0RANT OF ISLAM LAW.. when they are told and they still c0ntinue due to their own f0ll0wing of their will and desire, they then become a kafir. . ABU ISRAIL IS A IGNORANT MUSLIM, RASUL CORRECTED HIM AND HE FOLLOWED, that is why his deeds and ibaadat are still intact. . . just like every ign0rant living ahlu bida is. . as l0ng as 0ne rejects the pr0of. .then one becomes a kafir. jg

No one is saying Abu Israel is a Kaafir even your boss can't refute the fact that Abu Israel did combined three Bidiah. Even your boss can't call me ignorant you are too small to say that it's beyond your pay grade. Abu Isreal is a practical example that bidiah is of categories. So stop it and go and learn

AbuUthaymeen:
good4all40 . . now i understand your point.. that is about the fasting.. 1. (a) "what he did is bida" 1. (b) "all bida(kufru) destroys ibaadah (AS LONG AS YOU STAY ON IT). 1. (c) If abu israil refuses to listen to rasul when he told him to start talking, to sit down, to leave the sun, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PRONOUNCED KAFIR) But because he listen to rasul, HE IS NOT A KAFIR, that is why he was told to continue his fasting). . . for example, a sufi who makes dikr using tesubah. dikr has foundati0n and proof in islam.. when the sufi is told that sufi isnt in islam; 1. he complied. 2. he was told not to use tesubah but hands.. he complied. . 3. next thing is to tell the pers0n to c0ntinue the dikr. . . . .) the problem is n0t with the fasting of abu israil nor dikr of the example i bring.. but with the bida . .not with what had proof in islam . . AM VERY SURE THAT IF ABU ISRAIL FAST FALLS INTO THE DAY RASUL C0MMANDED US NOT TO FAST, HE WILL TELL HIM TO BREAK THAT FAST..BECAUSE THAT FAST ITSELF ISNT IBDAH BUT BIDA

.


Subhanallah!!! I never knew you are this ignorant of the religion Subhanallah!!. Are you telling me the Prophet will ask someone to continue his Ibaadah even when he fell into clear Kufr or Shrik Ya Allah this is abysmal ignorance!!! Allah says shrik or Kufr destroys actions of Ibaadah. The basic Islamic ruling as taught by the Prophet himself, is that anyone that commits any act of Shrik or kuffr ignorantly would be asked to make Tawbah and all his worships became baatil. Are you telling me when you see someone performing shrik or Kufr as you and your Takfeeree mentor believe all bidiah is Kufr and the person tells you he is fasting are you going to tell the person to continue his fast because he is ignorant of the shrik and Kuffr? Your ignorance is second to none you better make Tawbah and repent from this Haddadee aqeedah l know your boss for many years l myself practiced this aqeedah for many years till l made huge research and l repented and l learnt the correct methodologies of the salaf you better do the same before you die because death can come at anytime. There is no way we can understand Bidiah more than the Prophet if all bidiah is Shirk or Kuffr as you proclaim, the Prophet will never ever asked Abu Israeel to continue his fast because shrik or Kuffr destroy good deeds automatically even if the doer is ignorant of the actions.

Why Is it that Manchester City playing other clubs never made it to Front page except big 5 clubs in EPL and Europe for UEFA Champions League. l even saw Liverpool vs Watford on FP Yesterday. Hope Pep has not done anything wrong to Oga Seun and other Moderators lol. I am a city Fan pls we ask for this favour from Oga Seun to always put our match to FP too thank you sir in advance

Genotype is great and extremely advisable. Anyone that says Genotype is not necessary should go and marry HIV positive patient. Islam talks about our health and how to prevent foreseen burden that we can't bear in the future.

DeathStroke007:
AND ABU ISRAIL DID BIDA BUT HE IS N0T A KAFIR because the conditions to be fufilled in doing bida before one can become a kafir didnt complete in his actions. 1. HE SAID HE WONT TALK. 2. HE WONT SIT 3. HE WONT BREAK HIS FAST (that he is using these actions to worship ALLAH= BIDA) . . . Rasul said he should sit, he complied and sit. Rasul said he should talk, he complied. Rasul said he should continue his fast and break it at n0rmal time he c0mplied. . .I hope we remember the conditions of making takfir.1. forgetfulness 2. mis-understanding or mis-interpretation 3. force . . ABU ISRAIL DID WHAT HE DID DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING OF WORSHIPPING ALLAH, RASUL CORRECTED HIM AND HE LISTENED TO CORRECTION(that is why he isnt a kafir). ABU ISRAIL DID BIDA BUT ISNT A KAFIR. there is difference between bida, the individual that did bida and a khafir . . . lu

Apparently you did not understand that hadith of Abu Israeel in Sahih Bukhari. The point to be understood from that hadith as explained by our scholars is if all bidiah is Kufr or Shirk as you and your Jabata takfeeree mentor proclaimed, the Prophet will never have asked him to continue his fast because every shrik destroys Ibaadah for the fact that the Prophet asked Abu Israeel to continue his fast, shows that those kinds of innovation do not destroy someone's Ibaadah completely this is in line with the hadith of the Prophet that says "whoever invented anything into this deen without our command will have it rejected. I have like four to five different hadith apart from this that l quoted which are all very authentic that say bidiah are never in the same category, but it saddens me tremendously that you and your takfeeree leader are always adamant on DOLAALAH so let me save my time for something more Fruitful.


The Prophet, the noblest companions and their predecessors and all scholars of this Ummah believe Bidah is of different category with proofs. You can never compare those three Bidah of Abu Israel to the bidiah of someone that went to the grave and call upon Sheu to assit him, or to the bidiah of Jahmiyyah or Mu'tazelaah etc.

Can you tell a Muslim that is celebrating and wore the attire of Eyo festival to continue his fast if he tells you he is fasting. You will never dare tell him to continue his fast because you know clearly that Allah will never accept his sawm because Eyo is Shrik. for Allah to accept his fast he has to make Tawbah from the Shrik and set aside another day to start afresh his fast. If all bidia is Shirk as you proclaimed, the Prophet will never ask Abu Israel to continue his fast he will rather tell him to make Tawbah and set aside another day to start a fresh the sawm, but for the fact that the Prophet asked him to continue his fast, this is clear evidence that not all bidiah is Shrik and this is coming from Rasululah himself Alhamdulilah. please don't ever say in your lifetime that that is no proof for division of Bidiah because if you say so, you will be committing bidiah yourself because you are bringing new things to the Deen. I pray Allah guide you aright and rectify your affairs.

Deathstroke or whatever your moniker is you know nothing about Islam, l know your Takfeeree mentor for many years and his ignorant is as huge as mountain kilimanjaro in Tanzania. He can't even read a name of an Arabic text properly I can send you a YouTube link if you want to listen to it. I know where your master studied his aqeedah in Egypt he studied under a renowned TAKFEEREE in Egypt. Stop occupying yourself with the faults of others and find time to go and learn correct aqeedah. You can't even write correct English and you are wasting your time on the Internet calling people Kaafir as you wish Pls fear your Lord and go and learn. Most of you Takfeeree boys can't even read a proper Arabic sentence let alone speak it for few minutes.

Now to answer your question. The Christians Arab call God Allah, what you fail to understand is that All the names of Allah has meaning in different Languages. You and your Takfeeree boss know that any Yoruba Muslim that call OLOHUN is referring to Allah and no Ilhaad or whatsoever attached to that. Please go and Learn proper Aqeedah and disdain from Jabata and his clear DOLAAL

Jabata and his takfeeree boys saw this fatwa many times but they just decided to refrain from the truth. They innovated their own methodologies therefore calling every Bidah a Kufr and this turns to calling anyone that falls into any Bidah a Kaafir after they explained to him no matter the category of the bidiah this is pure abysmal ignorance on their side l pray Allah rectify their affairs because they have called uncountable number of Muslims Kuffar. ALLAHU MUS'TAAN

IS THE WORD “OLOHUN” APPROPRIATE FOR ALLAAH?

Questioner: You asked us not to say ‘Olohun’ but Allaah. Is there one of the names of Allaah that can be interpreted as ‘Olohun’?

Dr Sharof: This is from the traits of those Takfeeriyyah boys. Their sign is on their faces. The Takfeeriyyah boys are those who brought such assertion to you. Allaah is from the names of Allaah; Ar-Rahmaan is from the names of Allaah; Ar-Raheem is from the names of Allaah. As-Salaam, Al-Muhmin, Al-Muhaymeen; all these are from the names from Allaah. However, Allaah says regarding these names, ‘And to Allaah belong the Most beautiful names, so call Him by them...’ [Soorah al-A'roof (7):180] These names won’t be beautiful if they have no meaning. I hope you understand.

For example, in the Yoruba language if the words akoda, apata, oriire (and so on) are mentioned, do they mean the same thing? From what did the Yorubas derive the word ‘apata’? We do not know. The Yorubas did not coin the word ‘apata’ (for example) from three separate syllables like ‘a’, ‘pa’ and ‘ta’; rather…(unclear words)…. As for Oriire, it is derived from two separate words that were joined together, Ori and rere, (while) Oriibu is Ori and buruku. I hope you get it. This illustration is similar to that of the Arabic language whereby there are static words and derived words. Examples of static words which are not derived from other words (in Yoruba language) include: ‘eti’ (ear); what is this word derived from? What is the word ‘imu’ (nose) derived from? What is the word ‘ori’ (head) derived from? What is the word ‘oju’ (eye) derived from? These are static words. However, if you say ‘irunmu’ (the hairs in the nostrils), this is a combination of ‘irun’ (hair) and ‘imu’ (nose). ‘Irun agbon’ (beard) is derived from ‘irun’ (hair) and ‘agbon’ (jaw). In the Arabic language there are some words that are Jaamid (static), which are not derived from other words, while there are those that are (mushtaqqa) derived from other words.

Are the names of Allaah static or derived? Al-Imaam Seebawayh, rohimohuLlaah, said the names of Allaah are derived. That is why they are the Most beautiful names…(unclear words)….For this reason the names of Allaah are meaningful and there is none of it without meaning.

…The meaning of Allaah is the One who must be truly worshipped. Ar-Rahmaan is derived from Ar-Rahmah; As-Salaam is derived from As-Salaamun; Al-‘Azeez is derived from Al-‘Izzah; …each of the names of Allaah comes from an attribute. That is why they have meanings because if they have no meaning they would not be …(unclear words)…. This is the explanation of the Ahlus-Sunnah; we are not concerned about the take of the Ahlul-bid’ah. I hope you understand.

Anyone who says the names of Allaah have no meaning becomes a Mu’tazili; he becomes a Jahmee. That is, he becomes one of the Jahmiyyah; he becomes one of the Mu’tazilah. This is because they say Allaah should not have names because if He has names, the names will be many, and as such He will also be many as well. (According to them), He is with mercy, but He has no mercy. A’uudhubiLlaahi mina Sshaytoonir-rojeem (I seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytoon)! He is with knowledge, but He has no knowledge. A’uudhubiLlaahi mina Sshaytoonir-rojeem (I seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytoon)! (And so on). For this reason if you say the names of Allaah has no meaning you become a Jahmee or a Mu’talizili. That is the evil in such statement.

Having understood this, the Yoruba (Muslims) who use the word ‘Olohun’ do not take it as the direct name of Allaah, but it was derived from the meaning of the name of Allaah. That is the meaning of ‘Olohun’. The meaning of the name ‘Allaah’ is what is evident in ‘Olohun’, and we have said that the names of Allaah come with their meanings. For this reason the meaning of the name of Allaah is ‘Olohun’. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ‘OLOHUN’? The One who has ‘ohun’-the right of being worshipped alone without partners-on his slaves. The One who has the right of being worshipped alone without partners, which is the meaning (of the word ‘Olohun’). So we call him with the meaning of his name.

Having understood the meaning (of the word ‘Olohun’), if a person says he can’t call Allaah ‘Olohun’, ask him if the word ‘Allaah’ has meaning or not. …(Unclear words)…such person is an ignoramus, ask him to go to Madrasah...Allaah did not say in anywhere that we should not call him by the meanings of his names. I hope you understand. Still and all, we have to continue to make people understand that Allaah is to be worshipped alone. However, if your own understanding of the word ‘Olohun’ is different from this, then you should refrain from using the word. (As for those who agree with the word), this is just like saying ‘I swear by the One who deserves to be worshipped alone without partners’; you know this is the meaning of Allaah. That is it. So if there is anyone who is used to saying ‘Allaah says this’ ‘Allaah says that’, that’s not our concern, but he should not controvert the person who says ‘Olohun’ because he is also speaking with the interpretation of the word ‘Allaah’. I hope it is understood.

However, the Yoruba Muslims should refrain from using the word ‘Olorun’. Do not say ‘Olorun’; it is a word of the Christians. I hope it is understood. The Christians are the ones who use the word ‘Olorun’, this is because he owns the heavens alone and not the earth (in their own reasoning). I hope you understand.

As for ‘Oluwa’, it does not interpret the word ‘Allaah’. It means ‘Ar-Rabb’. ‘Ar-Rabb’ is to be interpreted as ‘Oluwa’. It has no other interpretation in the Yoruba language. ‘Oluwa’ means the One who owns us and what we own. You will notice that the Yorubas will not use the word for other than Allaah except that they single it out. In the Arabic language too, the word ‘Rabb’ is not used for other than Allaah except that it is particularized/specialized. Allaah is the One deserving to be called ‘Ar-Rabb’ without any specialization…

As for the Yorubas who say ‘Oluwa mi’ (referring to a person like them), this is wrong. The term ‘Oluwaa mi’, used by some wives when talking to their husbands, and just like some people would say when discussing with the Kings (amongst them) is wrong… ‘Oluwaare’ in the Yoruba language means ‘Huwa’ (in the Arabic language). There is no problem about it. Oje botiseje n beun! ‘Oluwa’ should be used for ‘Rubb’ and ‘Olohun’ for ‘Allaah’. What is being used here is the interpretation of those words…There need not deceive yourselves...Allaah in meaning is ‘Olohun’ while the interpretation of ‘Ar-Rabb’ is Oluwa.
