u shld av told your sister in religion that b4 associating the lady's axn to islam.

i wonder if you ever attended school or maybe you didnt read my post. i said exagerated brain with brain in quotation marks. When you are to write something that doesn't give a literary meaning or when u'r directly translating a language to another, u put your words in quotation marks like i did. I should av known that would require a seventh sense to be understood by some people. You may need to go back to secondary school to learn this.

d help u need
in ds context, over exaggerated brain means she thinks she's so wise that she can just judge things in her own view.
School? Oo fe d'agba ni  ?  shocked shocked

Correction,I don't have any such thing as 'sister in religion' cos I can't vouch for anybody. . . I only know myself. God knows everyone.

There's no such thing as 'exaggerated brain' in any context.

Exaggerate as a word means to 'overstate,magnify' etc As an adjective,exaggerated is mainly used with parts of speech or non-life objects,certainly not  with parts of the body.

Your application of inverted commas(not quotation marks) doesn't change that fact.

For how long will you keep digging in yourself ? Now Im getting scared of Nigeria's  educational system. . . . how did you get admission to study abroad?  undecided


You can say things like :
1.Far fetched imagination
2.Exagerrated opinion etc Not exaggerated brain.

Learn & admit your error.

To all the conspiracy theorists (especially Shoot2Kill),my rather simple question is  :


[size=48pt][center]WHY ?[/center][/size]


Why would the US go through such great lengths to destroy Haiti & then spend so much scarce resources -Money (in the middle of a recession) and troops (in the middle of 2 wars) to salvage the situation ? undecided

I need these answers really quick,failing which. ,  all your allegations would just remain that . . . .allegations  wink

And what about the penalty (Agger foul on Bendtner) IN THE BOX that Webb didn't give? huh

You lot were lucky - Webb gave a freekick that was NEVER a freekick in the first place so you deserved NOTHING from that.

A team set out to be so negative with players like Gerrard diving all over the place deserves to go home with nothing. I hope Man City knocks y'all out of the top 4 with a resounding victory next week.

This is actually my concern with teh way people take their religion to heights that were never intended.

Simple courtship rules insist you know what you're getting into or request your mother/sister to do a proper 'assessment'.

Indians also arrange marriages ,but they give you about a week or so to meet your potential spouse and get to resolve potential compartibility issues. . . I do feel sorry for the lady kinda,if indeed the story is true. .

uplawal:
i dnt need to bet my life on it,but is the fact am telling you,ask people and not people that will deceive you into teling you that is not true,ask more good brains,and i believe in the Quran 100% cos is God speaking in there and no one else
Ask people ke ? I'm asking you. Anything you cannot bet your life on isn't 100% true,the lesson is open your mind & stop all these childish generalisations.

On the infallibility of the Qu'ran have a look at these 4 really simple examples :

*Note I'm not trying to cast aspersions on Islam,I just want you to use your God given mind & stop stereotyping. . , . . . like a popular Nigerian proverbs says "he who isn't exposed will always claim his father's farm is the largest in the world".

1. Mary and Miriam
One of the best known errors is that concerning the confusion between Mary, recorded in the Qur'an as the sister of Aaron and the daughter of Imran (Biblical Amran) as well as the mother of Jesus (by implication in suras 19:28; 66:12; 20:25-30), though the two, Mary and Miriam, lived 1,570 years apart. (God mixed up the names?)

2. Creation
Sura 86:5-7 tells us that man is created from a gushing fluid that issues from between the loins and the ribs. Therefore, in this sura we find that the semen which creates a child originates from the back or kidney of the male and not the testicles. (God could not tell the difference ?)

3. Qibla
In sura 2:142-144, we find the change of the Qibla, the direction of prayer from Mecca to Jerusalem, and back to Mecca.(God made a mistake ?)

4. Inheritance
The inheritance laws in suras 4:7; & 2:180, provides an equal share for women and men, and then is doubled for men in sura 4:11.

4:7: "From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the property be small or large,-a determinate share."
Here the context gives an apparent equal share for men and women but several suras below it is contradicted:

4:11: "Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth.(The distribution in all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah. and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise."
God made a mistake or changed his mind? undecided

So open your mind. . . . . . smiley

Also,to let you know,those in the time of Jesus,those that refused to believe in the INJIL and not the fake new testament you carry about will end up in Hellfire as well if they die in disbelief of the INJIL,hope that is clear

Can you bet your life on it? undecided

Open your mind & stop these wild assertions.

You have NEVER seen God before & all you have now is BELIEF.

So don't say things with all confidence,because you really cannot confirm anythng you have said 100% !

Im telling you I have never seen a 'centre forward' as useless as Ngog ! Where did they get him? Even the commentators were complaining throughout. undecided

He never pulls his weight around,really poor ball control ,despite his height,he can't even get in headers huh huh

Rafa has definitely impacted negatively on the club. , the consistency isn't there,even the school boys of Arsenal got 6 points from us this season? sad


I'm really really disappointed,i belive we're technically in 5th cos Mancity have 2 games in hand & even getting 1 point from the 6 available (which is likely) is sufficient to see them climb us.

They should have tried all they could to get Van Nistelrouy !!!

I say sack Rafa now,cos we can only aspire for 4th and may most likely get 5th ,so it wouldn't make any difference angry

mr illusion pls spare me,even Allah knows their book is full of lies and there in it contain little truth,dnt try to make peace by saying wrong thing,or is it truth that generations have been deceived by their forged book and that Jesus died?
You see,I have studied human beings(Psychology) and i have found out its is almost impossible to change someone's mind ,especially when they have been
1.Brainwashed
2.Believe strongly in a cause.

And ,with all due respects,you are under one of these.

Its this same 'I am very sure of my point of view',that will allow a young Nigerian with wealthy parents & promising future to emmersh himself in Middle East politics & try to blow up  himself with the belief that Allah will bless him abundantly.

Its this same mindset that will make hitherto caring neighbours and friends attack each other in the name of a religion they met on earth & will definitely leave on earth when they die.

To you uplawal,I want to tell you many billions of people have passed on the surface of the earth even  before you. . .  .billions before christianity & islam & billions most likely after you have passed on (in ripe old age of course).

So don't assume you have come across some 'new found' truth about life within the last year or so.

Hold fast to your beliefs,but don't cast aspersion on others. We all see things from our point of view never from the other side.

What is the TRUTH to you may be clear FALSEHOOD to others,so never assume you know it all my dear. . . because YOU DO NOT.

I have taken time to write this because I feel most of us treat religion like Manchester United vs Arsenal football game . . . .US vs THEM.

We are the best they are not.

Focus on your faith,read your holy book. . . do good to your fellow human beings and don't insult other people's beliefs.

Thats my conclusion. . . . .l

@IFY,if you do,uve choosen a right choice, i was one of the christians before until i found the true light in ISLAM,Just early 2009,and Alhamdullilah,Allah made it easy for me

i have an Ibo friend too that is now a practicing muslim,cos everyone is just tired of the lies surrounding christianity
There are no lies in christianity. We should learn to seperate people from the faith itself. A pastor/priest can steal,rape do all sorts but that has nothing to do with the faith.

People blow up themselves ,kill fellow Muslims in the name of islam,does that mean islam is all about killing & maiming?? Always resolve issues intelligently. Its the same thing we carry into politics. . .hausa is the problem . . .no its ibo. . . .no its awolowo & his kinsmen etc.

Human beings will ALWAYS disappoint you & thats why real believers (Muslim ,christians etc) should always focus on their God & no one else.

Imams,pastors always have personal opinion/agenda ,so always learn to seperate the MESSAGE FROM THE MESSENGER !

technically all three are correct depending on the context they are used.

1.St James Park
suggests that the park was named after St. James, no need for inclusion for an apostrophe

2.St James' Park
the apostrophe after the s suggest that the park belongs to St. James

3.St Jame's Park
normally this should be wrong, but assuming the park belongs to a certain St Jame. its 100% correct.
Well said !

My question:

I found him lying on his bed.

I found him lying in his bed
You lie ON your bed (So option 1 is correct) ,just like the popular saying "As you lay your bed so you will lit ON it".

However if the statement had been "I found him In bed' that would be correct as against "I found him ON bed"

So you can be IN bed ,where the bed is taking more than just an object,but lying ON bed when the object characteristics of the bed come into fore.

Buddie, this should not be your main problem in the least as a simple independent 10 min research would have explained to you that your assertion is not correct.

Islam does not compel women to shave their pubic hair but islam compels all muslims men and women to always shave their pubic hair, arm pit , cut their nails, clean the teeth and keep clean. This is one of the guidance in islam and practicality of our faith as it is not just about worship it is a complete system like i always say. The prophet always encouraged cleanliness in all aspects of life and shaving is a form of cleanliness a shaved arm pit will not emit bad odor. I wonder how you will have any issue with shaving undecided

In fiqh u sunnah it explains that there are 5 main traditions of all prophets of God and they include shaving of the pubic hair, arm pit, cutting the nails, circumcision for men and i cant remember the fifth. We are to shave once a week , recommended on fridays and then make ghusl and proceed to jumah prayers. The maximum number of days to go without shaving is 40 days after which one has no excuse again.

And God knows best.
Thanks LagosBoy,I just found out my initial post has been deleted.

@Jarus-I normally avoid joining issues with modeartors but I really feel the level of censorship on this board is getting ridiculous!

One of the earmarks of a great mind is the ability to accept contrary views. I asked a simple question which the well respected Lagosboy has responded to, in detail.

We need to be conscious of INTOLERANCE ! Most times we assume its the uneducated ,unelightened that are intolerant,but actually the level of intolerance exhibited by 'the educated' is unbelievable,tho' exposure also counts(no offence).

You do not have to agree with everything everybody posts,but the individual right to make comments must never be denied.

Please take time & dwell on this.

Thanks again Lagosboy,but I find the issue of hair a bit contradictory,in the sense that muslim men are encouraged to keep their beards & I must confess a lot of 'alfas' look so unkempt with their beards,that the very notion that they are upholding some Qu'ran inspired hygiene standard is highly debatable. . . .as a matter of fact this 'uncleanliness' is one of the the main reasons people don't have a positive view of muslims.

Lagosboy:
I wonder how you will have any issue with shaving undecided
Armpit shaving is very necessary IMO,but pubic hair (well groomed of course ) cheesy
