This things happen in Nigeria. Fine he was beaten by the colonel and his surbordinates but suppose it iwas the colonel that clapped the governor's son, what would have happened? Everyday read of both military and police harassment and nothing is being done to savage the situation now a civilian harasses a military man and hell is let loose! Both ways is wrong but we should all be treated equally. The should release the boy, he was only exhibiting what the spoilt brats of many rich Nigerians do to the masses but what of what the military and the police does to innocent and armedless Nigerians everyday?

@ Igbo Boy, just be pretending with your tribal Igbo bigot.

Will Obasanjo allow Boko Haram to continue killing your brothers in the North.

Boko Harams are targeting Igbo and Southerners. That is why we need him. I am not saying he is perfect. But he is the best for the Job.

Really?

Regardless of ethnic or tribal line. To say the truth, Obasanjo is still the best president Nigeria has ever had.

Who is "Boko-Haram" during Obasanjo tenure, remember Odi, Bayelsa.

Obasanjo is the man we need, we really miss him

You have a problem with reading and comprehension. The EFCC one-day  seminar was held in Calabar where it is appropriate to refer to Pastors. When the seminar reaches sokoto or Zamfara or Kano I believe reference will be made to Imams. Dont be so grouchy and EFCC is not in charge of Banking - Islamic or non Islamic.

I graduated from portsmouth too and i got my IT job now. Took me 7 months before i got it. during those 8 months.i was doing part time job and i was doing exams and certification to build myself up and at the end.i got it.infact i got 3 jobs at the same time but had to settle for the best one. i got friends who got job a month after graduation while it took others time to get a job. The fact is,job issue here is better then Nigeria, I stayed in Nigeria for a whole year and only got 2 interviews but here before i got my final job,i have been to over 15 interviews.Fine they do prefer to pick thier people cuz of visa issue but thats where you got to prove you are better than thier people.It is obvious that they would pick thier people if you all are on the same level.When i was getting rejected,i did not moan.i got better. So when people claim they dont employ them,ask them what have they done to make them employable. No company wants to employ you,train you and then you got back after two years.You got to train yourself

LOL! You are the ANGRY DOG HERE! Angry @ WOMANHOOD? Why? Your mama didnt suckle you well enough? Or you'd have preferred to be created a WOMAN? Girls reject you because you have a face that makes blind people CRY? Just What? Undecided I have really EXCHANGED WORDS WITH SOME STUPID PEOPLE on this forum! Exchanging words with you too would be an INSULT to their INTELLIGENCE COMBINED! Shocked You are not UP to my ARGUING STANDARDS! Cheesy NOW SCOOT!. . . . UNDER SUCKLED BRAT!
***Ignore Mode ACTIVATED*** Cool

NIJA GIRLS RE D WORST ESPECIALLY IGBO GIRLS (NKIRU, UCHE,ADA,IFEOMA,UJU,CHINWE,NNEKA,OLUCHI ETC RUN IF U HEAR THIS NAMES OOH

Me, I dont see anything wrong in telling a pastor or an imam to be questioning the source of huge tithes. Except the are afraid of lossing the "revenue"


that is what religion has turned to in Nigeria. . .Some are  richer than our collapsing banks !

I pity Nigerians. We don't seem to know the difference between Moral obligation and Legal Obligations.

Government has the right to regulate the operation of the church under laws.

This is document is from Internal revenue Service, UK. Read it and enlighten yourselves on how thing are done in civilized countries. Not to open mouth bla-bla-bla. We don't think before we talk.

Only in Nigeria do we try to regulate churches then people open their mouths to say rubbish. Be there let people use your head.

I dislike double standard to the core and you are only getting emotional because the church was mentioned.I'm talking from a political and moral aspect not a religion win or lose one.Just one question for you. Is stolen money justified to pay tithe either in mosque or church ? What moral values do religion bodies hold when it comes to corruption ? should they support or oppose it ? Gain from the proceeds or turn it down ? !

“Prosperity must come legitimately. I feel a responsible pastor should know where the tithe of his worshiper is coming from. How and where did you make the money that you are bringing in as tithe? It is not enough for your member to bring in a huge amount and you say- God bless you, no.
“Pastors should be responsible through their members (who are top government officials, members of the public) to want to know how they make money they bring to church. So, it goes beyond just preaching prosperity, they should let the people know that the religion is beyond that. For any soul to prosper it means that soul must be in right standing with the principles that God had laid down by doing the dos and refusing the don’ts,” she added.

1. Your statistics is wrong and these American companies were not there when the country had nothing like Nigeria. and your rant about Apple or no apple is just behind the whole point.

The Arab countries you are slandering with your semi-literate knowledge are doing far better than your country an d will be in 50 years to come. You are mentioning countries and claiming they are dying of poverty and that is because they practise "Islamic Banking"? Why dont you check your knowledge before putting someone else's knowledge to question. . .

Only a slow person can reason the way you do. Malaysia as one of the former British Colonies was at par with Nigeria in Development  and is a Muslim Country and all your richer kith and kin are trooping to Dubai - is it to see the pope? No where is more christian than Ireland(despite the child molestor priests) - but  perhaps the poorest country in Europe. Please do yourself a favor - go to school.

It's funny how Nigerians are making it seem like it is Sanusi Lamido that named it "Islamic Banking". Islamic Banking is what the concept is called even in countries where Islam is already their national religion. Take Malaysia for example. It's officially an Islamic State, nontheless, there are .
@Islamrules
Yes, so that we dont want anybody to come with the idea of "Islamic republic of Nigeria" in the future. This is a trait we have to stop. In Nigeria, Islam:Christiann, 50:50. No religion should have voice more than the other.

Yes agreed. Abolish the Sunday Holiday now![/quote]

Is it by force to stay at home on Sunday ? If you can not stay at home, go to work now
Is your office closed ?

Or better still go and raise it in the next National Assembly sitting so we can eliminate Sunday.

If you are using Roman Calendar, Sunday is holiday there. Where were you when our colonial master implemented it.
We were naive when we these colonial master were around, but now we are matured and can decide what is best for us.

By the way Jumat service is not up to two hours, but Christian Sunday service is up to 24 hours based on the sect. You people cannot take the whole friday because of 2 prayers.

I see you are islamophobic. . . but thanks for indirectly driving home my point which is, "Islamic banking" should not be viewed from a religious point of view, It should be ciriticised from its concept and implementation. I don't think it is only muslims who like Interest-free loan and I don't think only muslims would benefit from the whole thing.

You people especially on Nairaland are quick to take issues to Religion and tribalism. Two main concepts that are dragging our nation down. We don't want to welcome anything that could possibly help the country.

If Soludo brings a concept, common Nigerian muslims would say. . . He's trying to turn the country to a christian state. If Sanusi brings a concept, common Nigerian Christian would say he is islamizing Nigeria.

and here we are. . . at the same point for years. . . . . . .

It's funny how Nigerians are making it seem like it is Sanusi Lamido that named it "Islamic Banking". Islamic Banking is what the concept is called even in countries where Islam is already their national religion. Take Malaysia for example. It's officially an Islamic State, nontheless, there are normal banks that have sister banks that are called "Islamic Bank". There is Maybank and there is Maybank Islamic, there is CIMB and there is CIMBIslamic, Even an International Bank which is not Asia bound, HSBC, has HSBC Amanah (Islamic banking and financial management). Now, If in a country which is already an official islamic state, why is the word "Islamic Bank" should be emphasised again. It's simply because it refers to a different concept of banking rather than the literal meaning of Islam attached to the word.

But I get the point all of you are trying to make. You hate the word "Islam" and that's basic. If he came out initially to say present his concept as "Better Nigeria Banking", you would call him a revolutionary and the best for the country but now that's not the case since it is "Islamic" banking.

The problem with Nigerians is we have turned Religion to something else. . . and what is suppose to guide our ways of lives has deluded most people.

This is a lesson to Christian office holders, that whenever you hold any office, use it to promote your religion.
Christians have not been doing it, they need to start doing it.

You are a big f.o.o.l for saying this. It is people like you that's our problem in this country.
Instead of promoting unity, u're saying Poo with the Poo hole u call a mouth  Undecided
