mathskill: Deceit.You are all full of deceit.Take a close look at the title of your post.You already judged and sentenced without a trial and you follow it with a "i am not going to make assumptions".
1. There are societies were females are not even given the right of life were female infanticide is the norm but you wont question that and praise Islam for stopping it.

2. We have cultures in this country that when a woman is widowed she is inherited by her brother in-laws right to object is not even accorded her but u wont question that.

3. The inhuman and degrading mourning process women are meant to undergo in some of our cultures such as shaving her head,drinking the water used in washing the dead husbands body and sleeping with the corpse is not worthy of your mention but u still wont question that.

4. Women have been turned into sexual objects in the west is a matter not worrying to you but you question the muslim lady that is with modesty.

5. We know societies and cultures were women don't have the right to inherit wealth or property but Inheritance is stipulated for women in sharia law but you wont mention it.

In islam women are so respected that it has been ordained that paradise lies at the feet of your mother be u a president or the wealthiest man.

alnaijiri: State of Emergency in the North is a codeword for restricting democracy and autonomy of the Muslim North and subjugate Muslims under this Xtian Crusader government. We know this is what the South wants. Maybe they're bankrolling BH and other "Islamic" groups all along to get what they want.

ROSYL: So awful for her at only 37 years of age to have to do that. But she is still a very attractive looking lady and life is more important than physical appearance.In an era when so many women and so-called celebrities are obsessed with having bigger and bigger breasts purely because of vanity and the need to be famous for having huge breasts, this is inspiring to hear on a number of levels.

Firstly, that she was brave enough to find out what her risk was, instead of burying her head in the sand and thinking it would never happen to her, bearing in mind there was history of ovarian cancer in the family.

Secondly, for making a decision that would, in some women's minds, rob her of her femininity
in favour of ensuring she would increase the chances of being around to see her large family grow into adulthood and have children of their own.

Thirdly, dealing with it privately and with dignity, only announcing it after the event and then only to inform and educate other women and their partners that there is an alternative to cancer.

It is an immensely private dilemma but by telling the world after the event and dealing with it as courageously as she has, may inspire other women to get themselves checked out for the aberrant gene and be more pro-active against these forms of cancer.

It is now obvious why their wedding was delayed.

As a family unit, they are clearly very close, very honest and very supportive of each other. I wish them well.

Gbawe: Of course he is. One may not like Anenih but only fools will think the longevity of his kind is down to anything other the fact that they know how to play the game and play Nigerians better than most. At the end of the day, Anenih knows the score and has seen it all unlike the clueless rabble-rousers on this forum and their emptily garrulous mentors like Okupe, Metuh, Tukur et al.

Anenih has recently come away from a crushing defeat in Edo where his candidate was despatched with ease by a people who deem Oshiomhole to be a good guy. Can we forget Edo used to be under the control of Anenih and PDP? Yet things changed because Edo folks saw a Nigerian "good guy" in Oshiomhole and chose to go with him, in the face of PDP misrule, and they have not looked back since then.

Same played out across the SW. It is an omen for 2015. Anenih, more than others, will appreciate issues are about more than using empty braggadocio to hide fear as we see the likes of Insecure9gerian and his co-travellers do here daily. Of course the APC is a Party to fear. The reality is only too obvious to those who do not fool themselves. My brother, forget Nairaland noise. The reality is that a Party hosting a formidable congregation of individuals all Nigerians, from all corners of the Nation, deem to be good guys, performers and meritoriously deserving achievers is not to be dismissed by any serious-minded person. Anenih has been a direct victim of this notion and can therefore not join other fools to dance foolishly and bask in self-deceit.

Yujin: I have warned before and I will warn again. The forceful islamization agendum of the people of the middle belt(minority christians) is on going. Only those minorities who willingly accept will be spared those who resist are earmarked for destruction. The tale of subjugation has been going on from the past 20yrs in Kaduna, Bauchi, Plateau, Yobe and of recent Nassarawa state. Taraba is feeling the heat now while Adamawa and Gombe will still join the gory performance. It is the resistance put up by the indigenous christians in their respective states that is resulting in all this squabbles. Its only Kogi and Benue states that such crises will be rarely found and it is for a reason. The elderstatesmen from these indigenous christians in their blind pursuance of a phantom political fraternity with their killers keep mum while their people perish. For instance, Yakubu Gowon of Plateau. T. Y Danjuma's home town- Takum is just some few kilometres from Wukari but he will never comment on this bloodshed. He is more interested in owning oil wells. Honestly, the bravely but costly resistance of the Plateau and Southern Kaduna peoples to the Hausa/Fulani domination in their own fathers' soil have emboldened other indigenous christians to rise up and challenge the usurpers of their God given rights and privileges. This is why it resonates and will still vibrate throughout where indigenous christians in the middlebelt have been reduced to data members in states they have appreciable strength. May God help the peace loving christians of the middlebelt and the entire north from the hands of their oppressors. Amen

kishimi8: you are funny in all the crises that happen in wukari who instigates it,., yesterdays crises on (friday) i was in wukari i barely managed to escape from the mosque i was praying my friday prayers,. we were just about to start praying when gun shots started outside the mosque,. we were attacked ,., all our houses burnt before we could even get to our homes,.,. i bare managed to get to abuja this morning .,, after hitching a ride on the outskirts of the accursed hometown of mine

Symphony007: The apc nominating buhari to me is a missed opportunity on their part. Many niger deltans and igbo's are quite disappionted in jonathan and would'nt mind a change but the taught of a radical like buhari in aso rock will just push them back to jonathan. If the apc wants a shot at the presidency, they should nominate someone that can relate to every region of this country..they better rethink, the next election is still about 23 months.

shymexx: I'm going to give them the next two world cups...

Their youth system has finally started paying off...

Limaoscar: Definitely need a good Goalie as well. A keeper like Valdes is what we called "Waste-pipe" in my days in secondary school

Gbenge 77: To be honest,PSG should have seen Barca off in the quarters but for a fortuitous Barca win.Now,againsta formidable opponent,Barca are being annihilated.

bola4dprec: The prohibition of pork in Islam is derived from the following verse of the Glorious Qur’an:

“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”

[Al-Qur'an 5:3]

Let us examine various aspects of this prohibition:

1. Prohibition in Earlier Scriptures

Islam is a culmination of the same monotheistic religion that was revealed to earlier prophets. Although the Glorious Qur’an is the only revelation that is extant in its original revealed text, some remnants of earlier revelations can be found in the Bible.

The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus

“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you”.

“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you.”

[Leviticus 11:7-8]

Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy

“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.”

[Deuteronomy 14:8]

A similar prohibition is repeated in the Bible in the book of Isaiah chapter 65 verse 2-5.

2. The Nature of Pork

The main utility of pigs in the ecosystem is as scavengers. They live and thrive on muck, feces and dirt.

It could be argued that in developed countries, pigs are bred in very clean and hygienic conditions. Even in these hygienic conditions the pigs are kept together in sties, and so the chances of them consuming filth are very high.

3. Health Aspects

Research has shown correlation between pork consumption and several diseases. Eating pork can expose the individual to various helminthes (worms) like roundworm, pinworm and hookworm. One of the most dangerous of worms is Taenia Solium, which, in lay man’s terminology is called the pork tapeworm. It harbors in the intestine and is very long. Its ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the body. If it enters the brain it can cause memory loss. If it enters the heart it can cause heart attack, in the eye it can cause blindness, and in the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs of the body.

A common misconception about pork is that if it is cooked well, these ova die. In a research project undertaken in America, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering from Trichura Tichurasis (another worm commonly found in pork), twenty two had cooked the pork very well. This indicates that the ova present in the pork do not die under normal cooking temperature.

Pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. This fat gets deposited in the vessels and can cause hypertension and heart attack. It is not surprising that hypertension is a common ailment due to the prevalence of the consumption of pork.

Thus the prohibition of pork in Islam is a blessing.

Find Out!:
"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."
[Deuteronomy 14:8]

I think this is loud and clear enough for anyone who truly claims to believe in THE BIBLE.

PapaBrowne: Obviously, CPC is not a wise party. A party that should be working hard to erase the perception that it is a Sharia Party would be wise not to single out the main Christain body for unnecesary attacks.

To win elections, you need the support of both christians and muslims.

It goes to show the pathetic unintelligence of the CPC.

Abel202: [b]My people, Let's give honor to whom honor is due. I notice that some people are keen on jumping into lampooning president GEJ when he makes a faux pas, but the same people become deaf and dumb when GEJ scores a goal. That is not fair. As a people we should be giving constructive criticism when the need arises and should also be lavish in our praise when the need also arises. As we all can see GEJ is doing well in this Benin-Ore road reconstruction, therefore I say kudos to Mr president. We urge Mr president to keep up the good work and also hasten to make the second Niger bridge a reality. Even if the haters do everything to rubish his name, his name will be written in Gold in the history of Nigeria should he concretise this second Niger bridge. The Rails rehabilitation, the steel meels, the elctricity reforms, the new universities, the airport refurbishing etc all attest to great steps in the right direction. I will keep on giving you lavish praise when you do good (although its what you are elected to do in the first place), but I will also be among the first to criticise you when you make a silly mistake like the ill-advised pardoning of Alamesia which was an error of judgement.[/b]

donroxy: There are extremists in every religion .......there are people who has used the name of God to commit atrocities...... For Jesus said not everyone who call me lord,lord shall enter the kingdom of God........So many people have used the holy name of Jesus to commit atrocities but really, are these fraudsters those that were referred to CHRIST-LIKEN (Christian) in Antioch.......NO,NO,NO!!!


The BH activities has been scripturally condemned by the Holy Book that guides Muslims.......I think that is the most important......

Even if FG pardon BH,Almighty Allah(GOD) shall till exact HIS judgement!!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
As for other muslim countries u cited, Islam is not only religion but also included political ideology.......so many middle east countries has chosen Islamic laws wholly/partially as part of their own standard of living but u know there will always be a PROBLEM where the IDEOLOGY OF WESTERN COUNTRIES IS NOT EMBRACED.....very soon Nigeria too shall be having probs with western country on same-sex !!!


What is happening in ME is basically political fight.....tis now left to u to distinguish between Religion/Politics struggle.....

Afolabs101: I believe that this is quite possibly the Presidency's plan as its the usual tricks and nothing new, but I find it hard to believe that they would be this bold as to document it like that.

Unless, they just don't give a ****

daraxz: To best time to have told your sis was when she first told you about the guy and you knew he was the one. Telling her now puts you in a compromised situation where she sees you as want to cause her pain and still having affection for her man. Eight years has passed he could be worst or better now, that your sisters call to make not yours. She loves him then support her. Loose the attitude. Look him in the eye and smile. If you have sleepless night because of this then ask him if he told her and why? You can judge him by his answer;but is tricky its only if you aren't jealous of her or want payback at him or any other alterior motive. If you still feel that awaiting your sis is a life of misery then tell her and free your conscience. Know this you might loose her friendship but you did the right thing. Good luck

Wiz-Prince:
THE HULABALU OVER PRESIDENTIAL PARDON GRANTED BY GEJ.

So many people were worried about GEJ'S Pardon - but why.

=> THEN YOU NEED TO SEE THE LIST OF PEOPLE PARDONED BY PRES. BILL CLINTON. Below

As President., Bill Clinton granted pardon & clemency to 456 people, thus commuting the sentences of those already convicted of crime & obviating a trial for those not yet convicted.

On 20th Jan, 2001, he pardoned 140 people in the final hours of his presidency. Some of those pardoned include:

1. Bob F. Griffin- 4mr speaker of the Missouri House of Reps who was serving 2yrs on bribery charges.

2. Anold Paul Prosperi- Florida Attoney convicted tax fraud.

3. Melvin J. Reynolds- Demo congressman frm Illinois convicted for bank fraud & obstruction of justice

4. Dorothy Rivers- Convicted for $1.2m theft.

5. Peter McDonald-Servin ­g 14yrs for fraud & racketeering.

In all of these, no International community heard or sanctioned anybody And yet The Same US didn't say anything when Bill Clinton did this. But When it happens in Nigeria, it is now a never-heard-of and having insults from some bloody sentimented people.

­ We must give GEJ the needed support to succeed and Nigeria will move forward.
