And this is the only functional bank in that axis, even Ejigbo (Osun State) rely on that Firstbank branch at Oko.

eternalcity:
This is a common practice in the North. Marriage is the highest achievement in those parts of the country.

/

Yes you are right.

Just exactly as fornication, lewdness, immorality etc are the greatest achievements in the southern part of the country.

Immorality stinks.

browniex:
Must they always marry?is it not better to educate and empower them?marrying them off is a continuation of thier slavery.

Since others like you are icons of immorality and obscenity, becoming educated harlots under the bawdy 'freedom' will mean no evil to you.

What a wasted generation with a perverted reasoning!

hammer2010:
Remind me again when marriage became a socio-economic empowerment programe



Oh well, the vicious circle of poverty continues

Just exactly as the perilous circles of lewdness and immorality continue with your sisters and (mothers!) down here.

sydneyobioha:
N-power is a fraud! Let them initiate a more transparent program that can help achieve millennium development ..

Oh sorry, I know you have no access to your share of ikoyigate anymore.

And that's your hope that made you fail to enroll.

Wail a little, okay?

MrEverest:
Rubbish, I only pity the innocent masses that knew that this old sadist and his gang of opportunists has nothing good to offer except sorrows, but are unfortunate to suffer with the stvpid ones that supported & still supports the wicked and senile sadist. Personally, Naira can plummet to 1000 to a dollar, I dont give a damn anymore. Its even to the advantage of the smart ones that are thinking outside the box. The senile sadist thinkr he is doing us but he is doing himself and millions of his people that are too lazy and dull to earn dollars, whether legally or illegally. We in the South have millions of diaspora folks sending remittances and many at home also earning dollars from freelancing. !Diots!!!

Well said, O ARMED ROBBER , PIPELINE VANDALIZER!!

Your days are numbered.

kayzat:
I am sorry to say this but both the Bible and Qur'an are full of many contradictions and confusion.




You will soon see many so-called scholars trying to twist this as if they were there when the bible was written or they even wrote the Bible themselves.

Why bringing Qur'aan in now?

Resurrection is a REAL SCAM, even though, it formed the basis of Christianity.

Prophet Eesaa (alayhis Salaam) was never crucified on the cursed cross...

Surah An-Nisa, Verse 157:

وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا

That they (the Jews) said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. "

AreaFada2:
That is very subjective. There are also nuclear monogamous families with three or four kids. They still fight dirty when their rich patriarch kicks the bucket.

Most 9ja families are basically dysfunctional. Monogamous or polygamous. Looking back at what I saw around me growing up. Including homes of profs with foreign wives then. Although most people got used to it that way and never consider own family as dysfunctional. Only that OBJ is a public figure and we got to know.

Cheaper yes, easier it depends, enjoyable not so straightforward.

I see a lot of hypocrisy in our system. The vast majority of men: civil servants, pastors, Imams, soldiers, bankers, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, bus drivers and all have one or several girlfriends/concubines outside.

Were our ancestors who did the honourable thing by marrying the women not far more honest?

Who will marry the excess women in the system if all men just marry one?

The multiple gfs/concubines system is masking or at least temporarily solving potential social problems. Because if not, many women would be economically & amorously far worse off.

For the record, my granddad was monogamous, my dad too. So I'm not here defending family tradition or my own lifestyle.

Just because we might prefer one lifestyle doesn't mean we should prescribe that as the absolute best.

How would you address the matter of millions of women that would have no man if all men stuck to one woman only? Go to sperm bank for a baby? Buy a robot lover? Turn lesbian?

It is like telling female students to stop multiple dating/aristos, without govt bursary or adequate student package provided by state or FG.
Desirable as might be, it just won't work because there are too many poor people and a few greedy ones. Many will simply not complete their studies. Period.

We must consider these things first.

You've made a BIG SENSE.

What do people who are against this use their senses for? If

قال الإمام شمس الدين ابن قيم الجوزية (المتوفى: 751هـ)
فى كتابه :إغاثة اللهفان من مصايد الشيطان:

أَعُبَّادَ المَسِيحِ لَنَا سُؤَالٌ ... نُرِيدُ جَوَابَهُ مِمَّنْ وَعَاهُ
إذا مَاتَ الإِلهُ بِصُنْعِ قَومٍ ... أمَاتُوهُ فَمَا هَذَا الإِلَهُ؟
وَهَلْ أَرْضَاهُ مَا نَالُوهُ مِنْهُ؟ ... فبُشْرَاهُمُ إذَا نَالُوا رِضَاهُ
وَإِنْ سَخِطَ الّذِى فَعَلُوهُ فِيهِ ... فَقُوَّتُهُمْ إِذًا أَوْهَتْ قُوَاهُ
وَهَلْ بَقِىَ الوُجُودُ بِلاَ إِلهٍ ... سَمِيعٍ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَمِنْ دَعَاهُ؟
وَهَلْ خَلَتِ الطِّبَاقُ السَّبْعُ لَمّا ... ثَوَى تَحتَ التُّرَابِ، وَقَدْ عَلاَهُ؟
وَهَلْ خَلَتِ الْعَوَالِمُ مِن إِلهٍ ... يُدَبِّرُهَا، وَقَدْ سُمِرَتْ يَدَاهُ؟
وَكَيْفَ تَخَلَّتِ الأَمْلاَكُ عَنْهُ ... بِنَصْرِهِمُ، وَقَدْ سَمِعُوا بُكَاهُ؟
وكَيْفَ أَطَاقَتِ الخَشَبَاتُ حَمْلَ الْ ... إلَهِ الحَقِّ مَشْدُودًا قَفَاهُ؟
وَكيْفَ دَنَا الحَدِيدُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى ... يُخَالِطَهُ، وَيَلْحَقَهُ أذَاهُ؟
وَكيْفَ تَمَكَّنَتْ أَيْدِى عِدَاهُ ... وَطَالتْ حَيْثُ قَدْ صَفَعُوا قَفَاهُ؟
وَهَلْ عَادَ المَسِيحُ إِلَى حَيَاةٍ ... أَمِ المُحْيِى لَهُ رَبٌّ سِوَاهُ؟
وَيَا عَجَباً لِقَبْرٍ ضَمَّ رَبًّا ... وَأَعْجَبُ مِنْهُ بَطْنٌ قَدْ حَوَاهُ!
أَقَامَ هُنَاكَ تِسْعاً مِنْ شُهُورٍ ... لَدَى الظُّلُمَاتِ مِنْ حَيْضٍ غِذَاهُ
وَشَقَّ الْفَرْجَ مَوْلُودًا صَغِيراً ... ضَعِيفاً، فَاتِحاً لِلثَّدْيِ فَاهُ
وَيَأْكُلُ، ثمَّ يَشْرَبُ، ثمَّ يَأْتِى ... بِلاَزِمِ ذَاكَ، هَلْ هَذَا إِلهٌ؟
تَعَالَى اللهُ عَنْ إِفْكِ النَّصَارَى! ... سَيُسأَلُ كُلُّهُمْ عَمَّا افْترَاهُ
أَعُبَّادَ الصَّلِيبِ، لأَيِّ مَعْنًى ... يُعَظَّمُ أوْ يُقَبَّحُ مَنْ رَمَاهُ؟
وَهَلْ تَقْضِى العُقُولُ بِغَيْرِ كَسْرٍ ... وَإحْرَاقٍ لَهُ، وَلِمَنْ بَغَاهُ؟
إِذَا رَكِبَ الإِلَهُ عَلَيْهِ كُرْهاً ... وَقَدْ شُدَّتْ لِتَسْمِيرٍ يَدَاهُ
فَذَاكَ الْمَرْكَبُ الْمَلْعُونُ حَقًا ... فَدُسْهُ، لا تَبُسْهُ إِذْ تَرَاهُ
يُهَانُ عَلَيْهِ رَبُّ الْخَلْقِ طُرًا ... وتَعْبُدُهُ؟ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ عِدَاهُ!
فَإِنْ عَظَّمْتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ قَدْ ... حَوَى رَبَّ العِبَادِ، وَقَدْ عَلاَهُ
وَقَدْ فُقِدَ الصَّلِيبُ، فإِنْ رَأَيْنَا ... لَهُ شَكْلاً تَذَكَّرْنَا سَنَاهُ
فَهَلاَّ لِلْقُبُورِ سَجَدْتَ طُراً ... لَضَمَّ القَبْرُ رَبَّكَ فِى حَشَاهُ؟
فَيَا عَبْدَ المِسِيحِ أَفِقْ، فَهَذَا ... بِدَايَتُهُ، وَهذَا مُنْتَهاهُ!

O Christ-worshippers!

We’ve got some questions

Wanting answers from he who comprehends;

If the god is murdered by a people

Which kind of god is this?

Was He pleased by their assault on Him?

If yes, blessed be they, for achieving His ‘pleasure’!

But if He was discontented,

This means their power had subjugated his powers!

Was the whole entity left without a Deity

Who answers those who invoke Him?

Were the seven heavens vacated

When he laid somewhere under the ground?

Were all the worlds left without a god,

Who managed them while his hands were nailed?

Why did the angels deserted him,

Without help when they heard him wail?

How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord?

When He was fastened.

How could the irons (nails) reached Him

And [had] His body pinned in agony?

How could His enemies seize Him

And could [even] slap His rear?

And was Christ revived by himself,

Or was the Reviver another God?

I wonder how a grave could enclose a god!

Strange still is the womb that confined him!

He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness,

Being fed, only by blood!

Then he got out of the womb an infant

Weak and gasping to be breast-fed!

He ate, drank, and did what naturally resulted,

Is this [whom you call] a god?

Sublime and Exalted be Allah above the libels of the Christians,

They shall account for their calumny!

O Cross-worshippers! For what reason is this [cross] exalted?

And blame [is cast upon those] who reject it?

Is it not logical to break and burn it

Along with the one who innovated it?

Since the Lord was crucified on it,

And his hands were fastened to it?

That is really a cursed cross to carry!

So discard it, don’t kiss it!

The lord was humiliated on it,

And you still adore it? Surely, an enemy of His you are!

Then, if you extol it,

Because it carried the ‘lord of the Worlds’,

Why don’t you prostrate yourself to graves in worship?

Since it (also) contained your god a while!

Even though the cross is now extinct

The sight of its shape should remind of its horror!

Wake up! O Christ worshippers,

For this is the beginning and the end [of our admonition].

Translated: Aboo Khadeejah al Atharee.
