Yes, am I support. How will the board go ahead and conduct exam for 7days, huh? It's called UTME, Unified.... Which means it's expected to be conducted once. I think the board should be able to answer that in the court of law.
Thank you.

UNIFIED.
wrong interpretation

It is reported that Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Do not sit with the people of desires (Bid'ah, heresy), even if you think you have a response [to what they say].


Al-Harawī, Dhamm Al-Kalām article 765.

Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī

Subhanallah, just saw this on someone's whatsapp profile status

AbdelKabir:
Looks like what anybody can wake up at midnight and write on the tree.....

Infact such thing can mislead Muslims with weak tawheed, some might start using the tree as an intermediary between himself and Allaah

The best thing a Muslim should do in this case is to refrain from judgement, because there are chances it is a false fabrication out of zealousness of some Muslims and possibility that its true....

But if its true then Allahmdulillaah...

Still, Muslims should stop pursing .miracles magic tricks like the kaafirs, learn the basics of your religion and the essense of tawheed, only then will you be able to taste the sweetness of faith.

WAllaahul musta'aan.

Well said. May Allah protect us all. Aameen

holywahala19:
ur last paragraph just agree with us.
it is because we were not given our real scores prompted this complaints of ours.

what ur say about 70:30 ratio or are u blind to see that also

Generally, there are more science students in Nigerian secondary schools than Art. So you don't expect the ratio to be the same.

BTW mister,its 60:40 and not what you assumed it to be..

see them!...you guys are getting scores like 250 and above and you are still complaining. chai!....what made you think it's only science students that are getting the good scores?,is it because of the results people are posting online? or what?....The truth is,there are a lot of other art students with higher scores but don't care to post online and mind you,this is CBT,it is a preprogrammed type of marking. your scores are ready right after you submit. once you fail,you fail!,accept it and don't come here to justify your failure with some science-art stuff.

BTW if you had scored 300,you won't come here to raise this issue because you've hit your target and be like to 'hell with the rest' instead you will forming brainbox on nairaland posting result pics.

Fuvcked up Nigerians..If it were to be someone from a village in Nigeria that redesigned a vehicle, y'all will be wailing 'HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS INNOVATION'..Now a brainbox from Nigeria is said to be and yes, he is the designer of a vehicle abroad and Y'all fussing and beefing.Later, Y'all will be shouting 'NAIJA NO GOOD FOR ANYTHING'.You guys should better adjust your mindsets or else Nigeria will be moving backwards with speed seff.

Praise be to Allaah.

One must believe in two things:

1 – That Allaah, may He be exalted, is the Creator of all things, and nothing happens in the universe except by His will. He knows what is to come and He decreed all of that and wrote it in a Book fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, as is stated in a saheeh report from our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He is Just and does not wrong anyone in the slightest, because He is independent of His creation and has no need of them. He is Kind and Gracious to them constantly, so how could He wrong them?
This principle is indicated by a great deal of evidence in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, such as the verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation as written in the Book of Decrees ___ Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz)”
[al-Qamar 54:49]
“No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz) before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allaah”
[al-Hadeed 57:22].
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah decided the decrees of creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth. He said: And His Throne is above the water.” Narrated by Muslim (2653).
2 – Man has free will and choice by means of which he does some things and refrains from others, and he believes or disbelieves, and he obeys or disobeys, for which he will be brought to account and rewarded or punished, although Allaah knows what he will do, what he will choose and what his ultimate destiny will be. But Allaah does not compel him to do evil, or to choose kufr, rather He clearly shows him the path and He has sent Messengers and revealed Books, and shown him the right way. Whoever goes astray does so to his own loss,.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And say: ‘The truth is from your Lord.’ Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve”
[al-Kahf 18:29]
“Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful”
[al-Insaan 76:3]
“So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.
8. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it”
[al-Zalzalah 99:7,8]
“And it will be cried out to them: ‘This is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you used to do’”
[al-A’raaf 7:43]
“so taste you the abiding torment for what you used to do”
[al-Sajdah 32:14]
Allaah tells us that man believes and does righteous deeds by his own choice and free will, then he enters Paradise, or he disbelieves and does evil deeds by his own choice and free will, then he enters Hell.
Every person knows in his own heart and by looking at those around him, that our deeds – good and evil, obedient and sinful – are done by our own choice, and we do not feel that there is any force compelling us to do them. You can curse, swear, lie and backbite, just as you can praise Allaah, glorify Him, pray for forgiveness, speak the truth and give sincere advice. You can walk to places of idle entertainment, falsehood and evil, just as you can walk to the mosques or places of goodness and obedience. A man can strike with his hand, steal, speak falsehood and betray, or he can help the needy, do good and do favours with his hands. Everyone does some of these deeds and he does not feel that he is compelled or forced, rather he does them by his own free will and then he will be called to account for them; if they were good, then the consequences will be good, and if they were bad then the consequences will be bad.
What Allaah has decreed is something that man cannot know and he cannot base his deeds on it or use it as an excuse. It is also not valid for him to object to his Lord by questioning why He has caused someone to be among the doomed or the blessed. Allaah has not wronged the one who is doomed, rather He gave him time and ability and freedom of choice, and He sent to him Messengers and revealed Books to them, and He reminded him and warned him with all kinds of reminders, such as calamities and tests, so that he would repent to Him and turn to Him. If he chose the path of misguidance, and followed the way of criminals, he only harmed himself, and he is the one who has caused his own doom, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allaah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds).
10. And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allaah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds)”
[al-Shams 91:9, 10]
“Allaah wronged them not, but they wronged themselves”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:117]
“Has not the story reached them of those before them? — The people of Nooh (Noah), ‘Aad, and Thamood, the people of Ibraaheem (Abraham), the dwellers of Madyan (Midian) and the cities overthrown [i.e. the people to whom Loot (Lot) preached]; to them came their Messengers with clear proofs. So it was not Allaah Who wronged them, but they used to wrong themselves”
[al-Tawbah 9:70]
To sum up: the belief that Allaah is the Creator Who has decreed all things and has distinguished those who are blessed from those who are doomed, does not mean that Allaah forces His slaves to obey or disobey. Rather He has given them the ability to choose and free will, which is what they act upon, and for which they will be brought to account. Your Lord does not wrong His slaves.

Praise be to Allaah.

Ma’aazif is the plural of mi’zafah, and refers to musical instruments (Fath al-Baari, 10/55), instruments which are played (al-Majmoo’, 11/577). Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated from al-Jawhari (may Allaah have mercy on him) that ma’aazif means singing. In his Sihaah it says that it means musical instruments. It was also said that it refers to the sound of the instruments. In al-Hawaashi by al-Dimyaati (may Allaah have mercy on him) it says: ma’aazif means drums (dufoof, sing. daff) and other instruments which are struck or beaten (Fath al-Baari, 10/55).

Evidence of prohibition in the Qur’aan and Sunnah:

Allaah says in Soorat Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning):

“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]

The scholar of the ummah, Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: this means singing. Mujaahid (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this means playing the drum (tabl). (Tafseer al-Tabari, 21/40).

Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this aayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments). (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/451).

Al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this includes all manner of haraam speech, all idle talk and falsehood, and all nonsense that encourages kufr and disobedience; the words of those who say things to refute the truth and argue in support of falsehood to defeat the truth; and backbiting, slander, lies, insults and curses; the singing and musical instruments of the Shaytaan; and musical instruments which are of no spiritual or worldly benefit. (Tafseer al-Sa’di, 6/150)

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The interpretation of the Sahaabah and Taabi’in, that ‘idle talk’ refers to singing, is sufficient. This was reported with saheeh isnaads from Ibn ‘Abbaas and Ibn Mas’ood. Abu’l-Sahbaa’ said: I asked Ibn Mas’ood about the aayah (interpretation of the meaning), ‘“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks’ [Luqmaan 31:6]. He said: By Allaah, besides Whom there is no other god, this means singing – and he repeated it three times. It was also reported with a saheeh isnaad from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) that this means singing. There is no contradiction between the interpretation of “idle talk” as meaning singing and the interpretation of it as meaning stories of the Persians and their kings, and the kings of the Romans, and so on, such as al-Nadr ibn al-Haarith used to tell to the people of Makkah to distract them from the Qur’aan. Both of them are idle talk. Hence Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “Idle talk” is falsehood and singing. Some of the Sahaabah said one and some said the other, and some said both. Singing is worse and more harmful than stories of kings, because it leads to zinaa and makes hypocrisy grow (in the heart); it is the trap of the Shaytaan, and it clouds the mind. The way in which it blocks people from the Qur’aan is worse than the way in which other kinds of false talk block them, because people are naturally inclined towards it and tend to want to listen to it. The aayaat condemn replacing the Qur’aan with idle talk in order to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah without knowledge and taking it as a joke, because when an aayah of the Qur’aan is recited to such a person, he turns his back as if he heard them not, as if there were deafness in his ear. If he hears anything of it, he makes fun of it. All of this happens only in the case of the people who are most stubbornly kaafirs and if some of it happens to singers and those who listen to them, they both have a share of this blame. (Ighaathat al-Lahfaan, 1/258-259).

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“[Allaah said to Iblees:] And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allaah’s disobedience)…” [al-Israa’ 17:64]

It was narrated that Mujaahid (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice” – his voice [the voice of Iblees/Shaytaan] is singing and falsehood. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: This idaafah [possessive or genitive construction, i.e., your voice] serves to make the meaning specific, as with the phrases [translated as] “your cavalry” and “your infantry” [later in the same aayah]. Everyone who speaks in any way that is not obedient to Allaah, everyone who blows into a flute or other woodwind instrument, or who plays any haraam kind of drum, this is the voice of the Shaytaan. Everyone who walks to commit some act of disobedience towards Allaah is part of his [the Shaytaan’s] infantry, and anyone who rides to commit sin is part of his cavalry. This is the view of the Salaf, as Ibn ‘Abi Haatim narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas: his infantry is everyone who walks to disobey Allaah. (Ighaathat al-Lahfaan).

Warning!! The day of judgement is very near... And the sign is the letter read In Full and don't neglect it or else u will get bad deeds...

I swear that this letter I have received it today and I hope u will all read it fully and work according to it, this is a will from Al Madina Al munawwarah from sheikh ahmad the holder of the key of the prophet (saw) haram to all the Muslim of the earth and the will says sheikh Ahmad says that once he was reading the Quran in the haram of Al masjid Annabawi and on that night he fell asleep and he said: I saw the prophet (saw) in my dream. And he came to me and said this week more than 40000 of the Muslims had died not on their iman and they died the death of jahiliyyah... And the women do not obey their husbands and they show in front of men their beauty without hijab and covering , their body are naked and they go out of their houses without the knowledge of their husbands, and the rich of the people they dnt give zakah and they don't perform hajj and they dnt help the poor and they dnt advice others and the prophet (saw) is conveying that the day of judgement is coming soon, a star will appear in the sky which you will all see it clearly, and the sun will come closer to your heads , after that the tawbah ( regretting) will not be accepted and the doors of the sky will close and the Quran will be raised from the earth to the sky, and the sheikh says that the prophet saw told him in his dream that if one of the people spread this will between the people he will gain the shafa'ah of the prophet (saw)and will gain lots of blessings and plenty of rizq, and who looks into it and neglected it, in another meaning throw it or tear it or ignored it he made a big ithm ( bad deed) and who looked at it and didn't forward it he will be thrown from Allahs mercy in the day of judgment.. And for that he asked me the prophet (saw) in the dream to inform one of the Al haram an nabawis authority that the day of judgment is soon, so ask Allah for forgiveness and make taw agh for him , and I dreamt that on Monday who forwards it 30 times among the Muslim Allah will remove from him sadness and increase his rizq and solve his problem and will provide him within 40 day.

*WHEN WE STOP LAUGHING*

Someone posted on Facebook "Chibok girls are gone, Chibok boys are next" and the types of comments that dominated the comment page were "lol", " lmao", "rotfl" etc. We all laugh at our problems instead of getting angry or extremely sad.

Psychologically and scientifically, laughing kills depression, but its excess kills something else; "the brain". I believe we can only go forward in this country when we stop laughing at things that should rather get us annoyed or make us sad

Some crazy Nigerians have learnt animation and graphics design not to make money, buy to make fun of their fatherland, yet we laugh. Hardly will you attend any social event in Nigeria without a comedy show on the programme. Comedy isn't bad, but Nigeria comedians compose their jokes base on problems affecting Nigeria; bad roads, money looting, unstable power supply, chibok girls, illiteracy, bribery, corruption, examination malpractices, fraudling etc

Seeing a long educative post on WhatsApp and Facebook sometimes annoy us because there will not be any funny part in it. Just imagine how much we have run away from educating ourselves, we only care about how to develop our lifestyle, and not our intellect.

In Nigeria, we don't see ourselves as one; if a problem isn't general, we make fun of those who are affected, if the problem is general, everyone is satisfied and we all make fun of ourselves most especially when it comes to the issues of Inflation and unstable electricity.

Government is defined as an institution that sees to the affairs and welfarism of a state, but Nigeria government makes her people suffer, make fake promises, gives false hopes and all we do as the victims is to sit behind our smartphone/computer screens and make unreasonable comments on media. We even embrace foreign series movies yet we keep neglecting and badmouthing ours, without thinking of how to help. We laugh at ourselves instead of raising a peaceful protest to remind the government that we still exist; perhaps they might have forgotten.

Some Nigerians will even say "Since the government we voted has disappointed us, let's wait for four years and someone better will take his position." WTF!!!

In a typical democrazy, the government should fear the mass and respect their decisions. That doesn't happen in this nation where we claim we practice democracy. An artist even called it "crazy demo". This people in governance should not be blamed; if you view the matter from my perspective, you should know that the mass is to be blamed because we all govern the country as implied by democracy. And a politician will always be a politician.

Singling out the faults alone will not change a thing about this country until we are ready to take a bold step. Be frank about Nigeria issues, learn and know more about your country and start thinking of what you can offer, laugh less and pray for this Nation.

I believe *when we stop laughing, Nigerians will discover themselves.*
