₦airaland Forum

Conservatively radical.

Naija to beat Ghana. No long story.

Bennyboy11:
Although Ghana is fielding a team B, Ghana vs Nigeria games have little to do with who plays as you all know. Remember ten man Ghana against Nigeria two years ago with even talentless agogo registering a goal? I am predicting a Ghana Algeria final.

I disagree. Somebody answers you here:

- I didn't know a total of 6 players aged less than 21 could actually embody a whole 23-man squad (how about the "older" men, huh?)

- Nobody forced the coach, Milo, to select the U-20 players, I'm sure they aren't the only available A-team material that the Black Stars could pick from. . . or are they?

Insultive posts capable of causing fighting is against forum rules.

I wil say due to what your muslim brother has caused to Nigeria you all should be ashamed of yourselves and none of you deserve to be heard again on this forum in fact as a matter of fact i will spit on any of you should in case we
happen to meet.

I now hate the religion called muslim their foolish and insolent actions around the world has caused heavy
chaos to my trip back to Nigeria from U.S on the 3RD OF JANUARY 2010.

I almost regret being a Nigerian; and if i were to be muslim today i will rather and speedily convert to Atheism.

You muslims are morons you all deserve to be extinct out of this world. And to all Nigeria even though you are pastor expect serious embarrasment whenever you goin for holiday and it includes your family.

Therefore, I lock the thread.

I have never been so confident of Eagles in recent time as I am of them beating the Chipolopolo later today.

I don't know why I'm this convinced but there is a Yoruba proverb that says 'ko kin tan l'ara omo oba ko maku dansaki'(literally, no matter how lowly a prince becomes, there will still be some honour). Eagles have never lost to a Grade B team in Nations cup in recent memory, despite their usual fumbling and wobbling. We have only lost to Cameroun(2000), Senegal(2002), Morocco, Tunisia(2004), CIV92006), CIV, Ghana(2008) and Egypt(2010), who are all Grade A teams in Africa. A Benin, Mozambique, Zambia, Gabon, Guinea, no matter how in-form will only scare us, not to the extent of eliminating us. Says another Yoruba proverb, ''t'omode basoogun, egbe e l'onfinbaja' (literally, if a child does a charm, he uses it on his mate). I don't think about this match, I think about our match against Ghana, especially how embarrassing it will be if a second string Ghanaian team, without key players, beat us. While that cannot be rule out, I honestly think Eagles are in final already.

Being an unusual lover of African football, I always try not to miss Soccer Africa and other Supersports soccer programmes. With Ivorien Mamadu Ganye, South African Thomas Mlambo and our own Peterside Idah in the house, I find all the bashing and rivalry amusing and always wish the programme continues.

Ganye, like Mlambo, is definitely not a fan of Nigerian football, but I don't think there is more to it than just fun. They are all just catching fun and creating interesting scenes in the studio, they all respect nigeria, don't mind their bashing. But the truth is, with how Eagles perform in almost 100% of their matches, do you think we are not worth being the laughing stock of African football?

Ify, imams are paid wages and in fact in the western and .some arab countries imams are paid well with a good package. Some mosques pay imams in the Uk about 400GBP a week and some big mosques provide accomodation for the imams as well. However in african countries like Nigeria it is not all imams that are paid and the economic situation and poverty rate has to be put into consideration. In arab countries the govt pays the registered imams but it is not so in Nigeria in the least. Again someone in Nigeria could please shed more light on Imams in Nigeria. Jarus ,Iwaboy over to you.

There are generally two categories of mosques in most Nigerian communities; those built by community or people living in an area and those built by some men/families in their houses. Personally, we have a Mosque in our Kwara country home and our Imam get paid salaries. In most 'private' mosques, I guess the Imams are paid. For community-built Mosques, unfortunately I don't know whether Imams are paid. The faintest idea is that part of proceeds of donations in Mosque programs are allocated to Imams running that mosque but I'm not sure whether there is a structured salary system. Allah knows best

I have actually gone beyond ethno-religious debates on Nairaland politics section and I prefer to take a siddon look these days and do more of reading than engaging in long, often overflogged debates, while just coming out, once in a while of course, to condemn the condemnable, commend the commendable or proffer way forward where I haver idea, but I came across this post by a fellow, Richyblack, on page 4 of this thread, and I dug into my archives of articles to supply him something from Sanusi

There are Imams in Mosques that preach the hatred that encourages this zombie mentality, however, the Northern elite do not seem to be doing anything to deal with these hate-mongering clerics.

When will I read/see a Northern elite, like Rilwanu Lukman or Lamido Sanusi, publicly condemn the specific clerics (by name) that preach that killing Christians is good for Islam. Will I ever see Northern elites/elders give a press conference addressed to those misguided youths littered all around Northern Nigeria, that picking up a machete, running through the street, looking for a Christian teenage girl to despoil and behead, is what savage barbarians do?

Richie,
Sanusi had this to say, amongst other lacerative condemnations, in an article he wrote in March 2004 titled MUSLIM LEADERS AND THE MYTH OF MARGINALIZATION

The problem of religious conflict and parochialism  bedevils the north. Of course it is not the only problem, which is why a unified northern forum must address the common problems faced by all northern people. The north suffers from the neglect of agricultural production, the lack of proper access of cash-crop farmers to the international market, the collapse of industry, the debilitation of its infra-structure, lack of alternative source of power to hydro-electricity, among others. Most of all the north suffers from the general massification of its population that is to say, its collective subjection to the intense and deliberate processes of qualitative leveling for the purpose of quantitative maximization. As a result of this, politicians and religious demagogues and fanatics have a ready army of uneducated, unemployed northerners willing to participate in bloody riots and attend rallies where emotional inanities pass for patriotic leadership.

So now, have you 'read/seen a northern elite speak the clerics'?

AjanleKoko:
hey guys,
AjanleKoko signing in from an airport lounge at 10pm or thereabouts local time here.
It's been an exhausting week, but mad fun. I am never doing vacation in Europe again. Only yankee and Asia. Yankee for Western-style shopping and Asia for the experience.

@Tmoni, na from Aberdeen you dey sabi where person dey work sef? But no shaking sha. You try small, although I had left too many clues, obviously.

And to all Nairalanders living in Nigeria, don't be fooled o, by those Chinese movies you watch. With what I saw of their country, we no suppose dey look their face at all. When they talk, we should just shut the heck up and disappear under the table or something.

I no even wan talk about Malaysia, I always knew those guys were tight. But as per China. . . I can only say that now i know the power of Western media. Those European and American bastards just paint these people as oppressed greasy labourers hustling for their government. Na heavy lie. Those guys are more free and enlightened than Nigerians, considering that the government doesn't give a crap about us.

I just rode on a train at 300kph to the airport, covering a distance of 30km in 7 minutes. Lord have mercy . . .

I no say one day Jarus too go become oga wey go dey junket around the world like Ajanlekoko. . . .by God's grace. This my chair don tire sef

[quote author=t.truth link=topic=295376.msg5367044#msg5367044 date=1264168000]@Jarus :

What is the point of this forum if people are not free to express their mind or say the truth ? Why the terrorism on Nairaland ?
haaaaaaaa

What is the point of this forum if people cannot exchange knowledge or cross fertilise knowledge ? Please leave the forum free for discussion otherwise I will think you have a skeleton in your cupboard that you are hiding.

In the christian forum, people are free to discuss and express what their feel is right, so why is the muslim forum not like that ? Why are you importing and exporting terrorism down to the online forum which is meant for people to learn, be corrected, correct, agree and even disagree with one's opinion.

You may not like what some people are saying about Islam, but to be honest, people judge things based on what they see. If they say Islam is violent, are they not right ?

You may not like that comment, but do you blame them ? How many people have the Jihadist in Nigeria kill for no reason at all ? Just for the cartoon of Muhammed which someone else in Denmark drew, do you know how many people were killed by Jihadist in Nigeria for that ? Do you know how many people have lost their fathers, mothers, children, churches, buildings and businesses as a result of the activities of the Jihadist in Northern Nigeria ?

Recently the comatose image of Nigeria was upgraded to the status of a terrorist because of one spoilt boy who is a muslim who believe he could fight for justice in Afghanistan, Iraq and palestine (another man's land), when there are lots of injustice even in Northern Nigeria where he came from. Charity they say begins at home. God have mercy.

Jarus, please lets face facts. People will stop bashing Islam if they truly see peace and tolerance in Islam, but as long as they see violence, slaying butchering at any slight provocation, the bashing will never stop.[/quote]WTF

What has this got to do with my moderating job of ensuring that the section is clean and as much as possible free from 'abusive words, useless threads, duplicated threads, etc'.

@Jarus: Nope, i'm still waiting for ya to help me.

Ask your question in this thread.

Hey

tollu:
[@ Topic
This year started on a sour note for moi.
Jan 2nd, my sister's friend went to beach with us for our annual beach picnic and then - - - she drowned!
Please say a prayer for her soul.

We went to report at the police station and den my sister was detained, I couldn't leave her behind so abt 3 of us were detained n we spent 48hrs behind police 'counter'.
It was a horrible situation.

Life in the office has been alrite, just alrite. I need to move on soon cos I just be like local champion.

eeyaa, pele o.
Which beach be dat?

I'll advise you take it. Enough experiences narrated here already.

fifi09:
@Jarus: Hallo, I need help resizing/deleting my uploaded picture, please what do I do?

I can see you've been attended to.

After every difficulty, there is certainly ease. This is the word of Allah, and it is indubitably inimitable and immutable.

Abu Zola:
Can we now say that you were deceived by the atheist/christian  ? Anyway sha, just forget it lets not indulge in unreasonable arguement. I just wanted to express my concern after reading your msg. You remain my wonderful bros in Islam. And one more thing, don't forget to invite me to your Nikah/wedding which will be coming up inshaAllahu this year,  do you work close to 1004 in Lagos Island ?

1004 is a stone throw from my office. Pray my Jum'ah there at times.

Re: Islam For Muslims Section Poster Of The Year
« #17 on: December 25, 2009, 03:34 PM »

Babs was not so active towards the end of the year. Abuzola tried but he caused too much troubles to be considered for award,


i was going through the thread and was perturbed by the above statement, please tell me who won the best award in the religion section, is it not Davidylnd the chief of nuisance, the anti islam fella, the tribalistic ? come on, if you are a frequent visitor to the religion section no one need to tell you that His opinion differ with most of the christian which ln many cases lead to harsh exchange of words,

I know i don't deserve the award but my querry is what you said that abuzola is a troublemaker, The christian animously voted the chief of the terrorist as their best man is this not a lesson for one to learn, ofcourse the christian will animously vote me as the meaningless poster, Jarus if you don't appreciate your own who will ? Everyone knows davidylnd with his sentimental hatred vocal for Islam and muslim and the North both in the religion section and Politic section.

And when we accuse people of being puppet they frown nawa o.
Despite this i still respect you.

The fact the Christians decided to nominate a trouble maker doesnt make it right for me to do so too. When we set out to have this sectional awards, all Mods were informed to make sure the nominees are not people that have records of fighting or ban. I complied. Whether teh Mod at teh other end complied is none of my business.

IbrahimB:
@ Jarus, I can't see my last posts on the above thread, but it appears in my last posts under my profile. How do I fix that? Thanks

It's the spambot at work. I have also fallen victim a number of times. It auto-deletes posts taht look like spam, like copying and pasting from a site, long typing etc.
Next time you are typing long post, you may copy and save a copy on Word so that you if Spambot catches it, you will ahve access to what you typed.
I don't have power over this, maybe higher authorities can help.

CIV may go home in this first round o. Ghana will beat them again.

Orisirisi. Please remain in your dreams o. Dont bother to wake up.

I don't work in a bank, but by the nature of my job(Tax Accountant), I deal with bankers. It's a pity to hear that two of the bankers I work with are now gone with the wind. Both are from Oceanic bank and I wonder what criteria they used that affected these ladies. These were people I spoke with a couple of weeks ago and we even had ongoing transactions. I even attentioned her in my last letter to the bank, only to be told she had been sacked and a new officer introduced to me. Very active and passionate about their job. They have been in the system for over 4 years. I was shocked to hear their sack last week.

During our own time(1998-2001), usually acme out in February. Not sure of what operates now.
