0monnak0da:
Yakubu is not Arabic
The name is Yakoub or Yacob and it is the Same in Hebrew which does not have the letter J
Jacob is the English or Anglicized Form
To that extent Jesus is a distortion.
Yakubu is a Hausa form and is more common among Christians
Again Moses is not a Hebrew form. Rather is iEuropean
The Hebrew form is Moshe
The names you think are ARABIC are not Arabic but Semitic.
Arabic names are very similar to Hebrew names
Ŕ

So what the original hebrew name of Jesus since letter J does not exist in the hebrew alphabet?

Crime › UNVEILED: The Cross River Community Where Girls Are Sold by helsinkiman(op): 12:48pm On Sep 21, 2018

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKSEP 17, 2018

In Becheve, a community in Nigeria, girls are forced into early marriages in exchange for monetary favours and for settlement of debts.

Becheve is a small tribe in Obanliku Local Government Area in Cross River. It is an eight-hour drive from Calabar, the state capital, and shares the same local government with one of the most populous ranches in Africa, the Obudu Cattle Ranch, now Obudu Mountain Resort.

Becheve tribe is now infamous for its tradition of forcing girls into early marriages.

In a video published on Monday by BBC, victims of the tradition spoke of how they lose their fundamental rights once being sold or exchanged for gifts.

Narrating her ordeal, Dorothy, one of the victims, said people had to hold her down for the man she was sold to to sleep with her. She subsequently got pregnant before she clocked 12.

She said: “The man said he’ll sleep with me. I said no because even his children are older than I am. They got people to hold me so that the man would sleep with me.

“Three men and one woman held me down as the man slept with me. I got pregnant from there but I was not up to 12 years of age then and too young to be pregnant.”

Another victim of the 'money wife' tradition, Happiness, aged 14, also spoke of her ordeal and the emotional abuse she suffered in the house of the man she was sold to.

“The man is old. He has children and his grandchildren have also given birth. He used to fight and beat me. One day, he told me that if he kills me, nobody would talk because I am his ‘money woman,'" she said.

Explaining why he was involved in the act, one of the buyers said the parents of the girls bring them to his house whenever they think they are fit for marriage.

“They’ll bring their children to give you. Some they would bring might be about six or 10 years of age. That means those ones are ready for marriage. They know how to cook and do everything,” he stated.

Pastor Akonam Richards, a child rights activist who has been involved in rescuing the children sold out in Becheve community, noted that the tradition gives the man the absolute right to do whatever he wants with the girl.

“The culture of Becheve gives the person who bought a girl the absolute right to do whatever he wants with the girl and children given birth to from the relationship. The buyer is the owner of the child. The man can sell his own child; he doesn’t divide the proceeds with anybody,” he said.

Maintaining that any child given as a 'money wife' is not allowed to go to school as they have become the man’s “absolute property”, he further stated that the man could give the girl out to another man.

“Some of them are put into child labour; some of them can be pimped to other men and when they even come back home with pregnancy, the man is glad because that is money,” he said.

Pastor Richards also spoke of one Monica who had had to sell her two granddaughters for her to fix her family juju.

He said: “People were dying in the community and she needed more money so she had to give out these children.”

Pastor Richards said the practice of 'money wives' is directly related to status acquisition in Becheve as “the more money wives you have, the bigger you are in the community”.

He also stated that it is very illegal as there are existing laws both in the state and Nigeria criminalising the act.

Travel › Re: Legalization Of Document At Austrian Embassy by helsinkiman(m): 7:32am On Apr 12, 2017

Charming:
Hi everyone, first of all, I am not seeking a visa to travel to Austria. I live have residency in Poland and I want to study a degree programme with an Austrian University(Vienna Technical University of Applied Sciences). The program I intend to study has the possibility to take some long distance courses, then travel to Vienna from time to time during the semester.

But to secure the admission, I have to get my high school documents legalized by the Austrian Authorities in Nigeria.

So, the difficulty am having are:

1. I am in Poland, and I dont intend to travel all the way to Nigeria spending a lot of money
2. I cant reach the embassy at all by phone
3. What it might cost to legalize

So fellow Nigerians, in my case, how do I go about getting my WAEC legalized? I read some post that it cost about 120K with lawyer fee included and afterwards, i have to pay for the documents again.

Please analyze my case, and tell me what to do.

REMEMBER: I live in Poland and I dont need visa to Austria, I have residency in Poland which in turn enable me to travel around other Schengen member states. The program I intend to study is taught fully in English and by Distance study methods which means, in a semester, I have to be on Campus only 9 times.

I have a wife and a son, so a traditional class is not on my page right now, thats why I want to take this opportunity to do something for myself and my family.

Any suggestions are highly welcomed.

Thanks

Please how did you resolve this? I need to legalise my documents as well. Please help.

Appointing Ishaq Oloyede, a professor of ISLAMIC STUDIES as Registrar of JAMB has been his greatest undoing so far. Oloyede is completely clueless and looks lost in his new position.

How will you appoint a man who studied Islamic studies to head JAMB? JAMB registration process is now a mess, imagine a whole town having just one registration center, aspirants made to undergo hardships just to register for JAMB all because a man who studied Islamic studies was chosen to head JAMB which is reserved for people who studied Maths and Testing (which Dibu Ojerinde studied)

Politics › Saraki May Spend Sallah Period In Detention (opinion) by helsinkiman(op): 5:22pm On Sep 21, 2015

All the legal fireworks at the CCT tomorrow would be on how to ensure Saraki does not spend the sallah period in detention which to me is a 50:50. Unfortunately for him, he played into the hands of his prosecutors by not utilising the grace of the CCT chairman to allow for his presence in court based on the undertaking of his lead counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN)..... His declaration to appear tomorrow would be seen as a mere preemptive move against his arrest as his body language from the on set has shown clear disdain for the CCT.
That's my opinion though...don't know how you guys view it.

myhoodlink:
I'm not against media houses giving out useful information that will aid the fight against insurgency but using such privilege to downgrade and demoralise the soldiers is very wrong. SR from the inception of this administration has not seen anything good with it. This sentiment was even aired by the owner Somo...(a Yoruba name) in one of his interviews some months ago. As a Nigerian, he too should set sentiment aside and collaborate with the authority towards ending this war against these insurgents.

Dont derail the topic. Bokoharam or insurgency was not mentioned in the report. All the report os asking for is the release of the pwc audit report on thr missing 12 billion dollarals.

Politics › Finnish Mps Monthly Wages To Increase By 20 Euros (4,200 Naira) From March. by helsinkiman(op): 2:28pm On Dec 16, 2013

Finnish MPs' monthly salaries to rise by 20 euros (4,200 naira) by march next year. An MP earns about 15 million naira a year compared to an average of 40 million naira a month for Nigerian MPs plus all the kick backs and budget impregnation. This is one of the reasons the country can afford to provide all the basic needs of life for her citizens. What is basic to them is what Nigerians term as luxury living. Their salaries are determined by independent committees devoid of any membership from parliament.

Food › Poduction And Expiry Dates For Breads In Nigeria by helsinkiman(op): 9:13am On Oct 29, 2013

It's time NAFDAC enforces the display of production and expiry dates on breads in Nigeria. It is very difficult to ascertain whether a bread is fit for consumption or it has expired. One cannot simply judge by the looks of the bread. I observe that it is the appearance of mucous that makes bread unfit for consumption in Nigeria. This is an health issue which relevant agencies especially NAFDAC should fix.
Recently I bought a value bread from UACN thinking it was fresh until I got home and discovered it was as hard as olumo rock. I couldn't have known when it was produced because there was no production or expiry date on it. Ditto for other bread manufacturers such as LEVENTIS etc. I believe if NAFDAC can enforce production and expiry dates on food items such as gala, they should do same for bread which is a staple food in Nigeria except they are happy exposing 160 millions Nigerians to health hazard.
