Business › Re: FG Moves To Digitise FX Transactions To Punish Naira Speculators by GreenCovering: 11:08pm On Oct 23, 2023
Any government that is able to control the fx market in Nigeria would have solved more than half of the country's problems.
But I doubt if any government is going to be able to achieve that based on how deeply entrenched the parallel market is.
I'm scared any policy to stifle the operators might end up having the reverse effect.

Christianity Etc › Re: Fr Paul Obayi "Okunerere" Announces He Is Leaving The Catholic Church by GreenCovering: 4:00pm On Oct 15, 2023
Holy Qur'an Sura 2 verse 190-191:

Fight in the cause of Allah ˹only˺ against those who wage war against you, but do not exceed the limits.1 Allah does not like transgressors.

Kill them wherever you come upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution2 is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers.

Tafsir:
...those who fight you) applies only to fighting the enemies who are engaged in fighting Islam and its people. So the Ayah means, `Fight those who fight you', ... (And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out.) meaning, `Your energy should be spent on fighting them, just as their energy is spent on fighting you, and on expelling them from the areas from which they have expelled you, as a law of equality in punishment.'...
-Ibn Kathir

The command in this verse is that Muslims should fight only those disbelievers who come to fight against them. It means that there are other people too who do not take part in fighting, such as, the women, the children, the very old, the priests and monks and others devoting themselves to quiet religious pursuits, and the physically handicapped, and those casual labourers who work for disbelievers and do not go to fight along with them; it is not permissible to kill such people in a Jihad...
-Ma'ariful Qur'an

Truth is that Islam has clearly established itself against extremism, no matter how anyone tries to paint it.

Holy Qur'an sura 46 verse 9

Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."
- Sahih International

Tafsir:
The sentence, "I do not follow anything but what is revealed to me," has been used here as an 'exception' to the previous sentence, meaning thereby that I do not know anything except what is revealed to me through wahy..."
- Ma'ariful Qur'an

In order words:
... Except what is revealed to me, I don't know what will be done with me or with you... So the question is why would someone conveniently omit the essential part 'except' that presents the context of usage even if he/she want to present the verse in a redacted form?

Politics › Re: Why My WAEC Certificate Bears Sadiq Abubakar’ – Atiku Responds To Forgery Allega by GreenCovering: 6:24pm On Oct 10, 2023
Wait a minute, I don't get the logic here:
So he was Atiku all along. Then on the eve of WAEC exams he realised he should be bearing Siddiq. Then he passed his WAEC exams. Afterwards, he swore an affidavit that he is the same Atiku as before and should be addressed as Atiku once again. And to think that he mentioned Sadiq this time when told to explain himself.

Siddiq
Sadiq
Adiq
Atiq
Atiku

Which one baba?

Politics › Re: Gen. Murtala Backed Coup Against Gowon For Appointing Igbo Man NNPC DG - Clark by GreenCovering: 7:19pm On Aug 26, 2023
I don't understand the logic elder states man Edwin Clark is trying to make me believe that Engr Odoh who was reportedly responsible for the destruction of the PortHarcourt refinery and which Gen. Murtala Muhammed clearly alluded to be rewarded with becoming NNPC MD in the spirit of welcoming back after 5 years. It is like saying that we should make Chinasa Michael commissioner for transportation after 5 years for torching the BRT buses in Lagos, in the spirit of maintaining inclusion. I mean couldn't someone from the same region without a history of violence be considered for that position.

Based on this elder states man Edwin Clark is not making sense at all. He should have been acting more responsibly than trying to deepen sentiments.

No amount of spinning can justify a Bishop checking into a hotel room at after 9pm with a woman already being rumoured to be your lover, and they being left alone until after midnight.
