Please make them die this move na.
Na wetin Putin no want gan gan be that.
Let there be peace in the world abeg.

Good development.
People should be responsible for what they put out there.

Nice one from Air peace.
Please let's always look beyond tribes/regions. He is rendering valuable services to all Nigerians.

Qur'an 20:115
And indeed, We once made a covenant with Adam, but he forgot, and ˹so˺ We did not find determination in him.

In other words, prophet Adam (a.s.) 'forgot' to act with 'resoluteness' against the deceptions of shaytan through Hauwa his wife. After this incident, he repented and was eventually made a prophet of Allah Almighty. - tafsir maariful quran.

So I don't know how this counts as a point for the conclusion you are drawing.


Qur'an 7:143
When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”

Well this is self explanatory as prophet Moses (a.s.) witnessed first hand the power of Allah Almighty and proclaimed "I am first to believe" in apparent awe. This is what any overwhelmed person will say.
Again how does this even make a point for what you are saying?

Qur'an 2:132
This was the advice of Abraham—as well as Jacob—to his children, ˹saying˺, “Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission.”

Again how is this relevant to your point?

Qur'an 39:12
And I am commanded to be the first of those who submit "to His Will."

Every human has been granted the power of free will. The prophets (alaihimussalam) sacrifice much of their free wills to act in line with the commandments of Allah Almighty while us laymen falter on this way too often. That is, why the prophets (alaihimussalam) are close to the angels in character. Here the holy prophet (s.a.w) says, I have been commanded to be the foremost of those who exercise this.
Again missed point for your conclusion.

See, it is not by drawing pictures up and down because you want control narrative in a public space, learn to get your facts right. I pity you and your likers.

Buhari4dullard:
Funny coming from someone that the quoran can't even make up its mind over who is the 1st Muslim.

Talk about a confused book🤣

Instead of you to tell us how Mary Magdalene got to Provence in France from Galilee and all the sensational details that followed, you want to derail the thread.

@Righteousness. Why are you hiding?
Come and see your God's chosen people.

Saidfx:
The west has successfully used stage managed ISIS again to deceive the gullible minds in the world, especially here in nairaland. Russia is very good in secrecy and they are not mischievous like the west and Jews. They don't buy the ISIS bullshit claim and according to one of the attackers, he received messages via telegram from a preacher online and he was promised 500000 rubbles, approximately 5000 dollars to kill anyone in the hall. ISIS is CIA and Russia has long managed to work around that conspiracy for decades since the stage managed 9/11 attack.


The Russian investigative authorities did not name any suspected organizers behind the attack. Neither have they signaled any links between the primary suspects and any extremist groups or outside forces, except for some Ukrainian “contacts” that were supposedly ready to aid them with crossing into Ukraine, according to the FSB.

Some Western media, including Reuters and CNN, reported that Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attack. The terrorist group also allegedly published a photo of the four suspects posing against the backdrop of an IS flag. The photo, which has since been shared by some media, shows four men wearing baseball caps with their faces covered. Moscow has not commented on the IS claims.

Nice. I believe @Gajagojo was driving at the same point. As usual, many of our naive nairalanders simply like to rejoice in their boxed foolery of us vs them.
Pathetic.

Gumi's "foot soldiers in the forest"
"Ma yakin mu a daji"
- Ahmad Gumi

He is an axis of evil. The evil ideologies his dad helped to foister on the north is what grew into the demons roaming the north today. Now his son wants to profit from that disaster.
Never again Gumi, your game has gone full cycle with nothing but misery visited upon the north. The north must realize who their true enemy is and take urgent steps to reclaim their old days of glory of gaining ascendancy by simplicity and trustworthiness rather than a resort to narcissist ideology and violence.

IMF has finished dealing with Nigeria for now jacking up the rate to 1$/ngn1500. Next is Ghana. You guys should brace up for the ride, lol.

Our foot soldiers in the forest.

Scholars have proven that the holy Prophet (s.a.w.) did not marry a nine year old girl (or even of lesser age as also insinuated). It is most probably a genuine scholarly error of recording by recorders hundreds of years later, geographies away, that could have been responsible for this likely misinformation. These recordings, though highly trustworthy, are not ordained books of Islam and therefore still reserve a margin of error, no matter how small, getting in on them. The only ordained book of Islam is the holy Qur'an. If the holy prophet (s.a.w.) had married a nine year old girl, it could have been a common practice among his immediate circle who are quick to establish upon his practices. This was however not the case as his immediate circle were not found to be in this practice.

It is true that early marriage is encouraged in Islam, and the example was shown by the holy prophet (s.a.w.) when he gave his own daughter in marriage at age 19. This is the example most followed by muslims. If he had taken someone else's daughter at 9, he would have given out his at 9 also. If you were wondering why Sadio Mane married his wife at 19, of which we were here to congratulate him only recently, this was the example that he followed.

One of such facts shared by scholars was that historically Aisha (r.a.) could not have been a 9 year old at the time of her marriage having participated in the first battle as a paramilitary nurse, which was before she got married. The holy prophet does not accept children in military expeditions in his army (men, let alone women).

Please do not allow frustrated people who do not have standards in their own lives misguide you on a faceless forum to earn the wrath of God on your own lives. God is not an unjust God. First He makes you understand your errors. However, if you continue in your heinous ways, then be ready for His punishments as well, which is sure to come if you continue in your heedlessness of maligning the best of creation, Muhammad al Mustapha (s.a.w).

State police never start and we are already here.
I hope he is not complicit in terrorism though.

Alhamulillah for Islam, it is a rule:

SubhanAllah!
What a touching story, omg!!!

Omoh!
Na update you dey share so.

olisaEze:
Yes, Op, but worthy of note, you’re comparing a whole country’s net worth to individual net worths. Instead of Elon Musk & Bezos, why not try comparing the Saudis to Mansa Musa. Even the Muslims in the north are quick to point to the Saudis because of religion, when the W. Africa they’re from has a richer & nobler heritage! Till date, no man is still as rich as that name, before and after. Which is also the reason I suspect he might be the king Solomon of biblical fame.

Mansa Musa is a muslim who used to perform the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina and so could not have been biblical.

It is not in the inner mind of most people who snub others in greetings, holding conversations or chatting, to act that way.
You'll do well by helping them to come out of their shells, because most of them truly appreciate your warmness.
Believe me!

May your plans to rebuild Nigeria succeed.
Amen

Which is where protests should be directed at first.
But every tom dick and harry go dey open mouth on top President head.

I believe him.
The pattern can be observed on nairaland too.

How come it is mostly the people who are claiming to not be affected by the current economic situation that are posting incessantly about the hunger in the land?

What paradox?

Sincerely, is BAT really the problem of Nigeria?

Gypsum sourcing in Nigeria

Reading through this thread clearly established that the word 'aza' has etymological origin and usages from among the Benin/Edo people. Contributors have shown various examples of this from time immemorial. However, no such etymological usage can be found with the Igbo people. This was established by @KosiGee.

Since etymology is the father of dictionary, it could not probably have been a word of Igbo origin simply because someone decided to type it in there only fairly recently.

I have come to learn a thing or two from these Benin people when they lay claim to something: they are always very foundational. imho.

the CBN sold the dollars at a rate as low as N1490 per dollar

Did I just read 'as low as'...And the banks are still going to add their own margins in order to sell to buyers? Anyway, let the recovery plans begin at least. May God bless your efforts as you begin to set things aright dear Jagaban.

1 xof = 2.5 naira

More than double value for same quantity (or lesser) of export supply.

The implications of the new VAR assisted rules need to be explained to the people thoroughly in that happiness can turn to gloom within a moment and vice versa.

I hope it works but honestly it's a tried and failed approach.

People will find new ways to ferry in dollars and they'll become the cash-out merchants of a new market force.

She should be picked up asap.
This is not how to play opposition politics.
Her inordinate desire to stay relevant in the public space has made her forget that you can't both be an opposition and an activist at the same time.
Once you play opposition politics and you loose in an open contest, you have lost your honour as an activist. But blatant desire to stay relevant in the media won't allow her stay in one place.

The idea that petrol subsidies had to go because they were riddled with corruption and that they consumed a disproportionate share of our national budget is a mere propagandistic cop-out...

I don't agree with above because is it not because of the same subsidy cabal that after the federal government had settled them subsidy money for importing and distributing fuel would then need to borrow money to pay staff salaries? This was common knowledge oga Kperogi.

A vaccine with only 13% success rate or a speculated 36% success rate, at most, at infancy and you are rolling out across many African countries without consideration for what becomes of these recipients in a decade or couple more thereabout when they would have become adults or adolescent. This is an purely an experiment on African children and may even come with a hidden agenda.

It's a pity aids/loans we receive for economic survival have rendered us so silent as not to be able to ask probing questions anymore.

The First category: A prohibited intercession, which is not permitted.
It is the act of intervening on behalf of a person who is guilty of a prescribed punishment after his matter got to the authorities.
...

The zenith of exercising of authority is by Allahu ta'ala on the day of Judgement. Islam has thought us that the holy Propeht (s.a.w.) other prophets (a.s.) and pious people (r.a.) will be permitted by Allah to intercede for others, who are not qualified because all they have of goodness fall short, on that day. So people who are hell bound or who would have otherwise been in hell will be forgiven and given paradise instead. So I am not really understanding how you want me to fit your above conclusion in my head with respect to these occurrences that will happen on the day of Judgement.

Are we being prepped to accept that even if Dangote refinery goes full steam ahead it may not have so great an impact on economic recovery because the core issue here is the crude oil itself which had been sold in advance to acquire loans?
Serious!!!
