Read this in Thisday yesterday. Highly surprised Amokachi can be rated above Kanu, JJ and even Yakubu in Premiership all-time best foreigners. |
ayusco:oga, after reluctantly admitting something, why the anger!!! |
Just came across your post here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-210019.32.html I know you on Ghanaweb as a staunch defender of Naija in the midst of Ghanaians. Alongside, accrademus,naijakido and ayofromnaija, you guys are really doing a good defensive job over there. I always peep GW to see what's going on there and read comments, since my registration has not been activated three months after registering. You guys make that site interesting. I'm surprised you didn't know Nairaland all this while. Well, I can see you are now a Nairalander,just registered today, with just two posts. Welcome on board 2drama!!! |
Pitying him too. . . |
muhsin:Amin |

Jazakumullahu khaeran babs, Great real life account from Kiwi there. That is how powerful Ayatul Kursiyyu(Q2:255), and indeed every verse of the Qur'an, is. I have copied and pasted his real life narration here. Fellow Nairalanders,He also said this in another thread: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=2272.msg3113253#msg3113253 Hey Gam,Islam has solution to every problem, but it is a pity some Muslims look elsewhere for solutions, where there is none. Or at least, temporary,conditional 'solutions' like using evil means, usually by contract. I just laugh when I see some Muslims go about troubling themselves, consulting Pastors, herbalists and deviant Alfas for solutions to their so-called spiritual problems, when the solution lies right there in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The problem with many of us Muslims is ignorance. We don't care about Islamic knowledge. With proper understanding of Islam, we will easily understand all the mysteries of this life. This Nairalander Kiwi, for example, got to know about Ayatul Kursiyyu through the internet. He downloaded it from an Islamic website and played it on his phone in his house, and, like the Prophet made us to know over 1400 years ago, it worked wonders for him in far away UK. That is Islam for you! Please, brothers and sisters in Islam, let us go and seek for knowledge. With knowledge of Jinns, for example, you know the symptoms of presence of Jinn. Kiwi was living with Jinns in his house, troubling him, making his printer print strange things, knocking the door, making some sounds etc, yet invisible to him.This is jinn at work. But the jinn can't stand that Qur'anic verse(Ayatul kursiyyu), as it fled on hearing it. We hope we all have learnt from this thread. We thank earthmama for asking the question. We will advise kiwi to reflect over this manifestation of the power of Allah and accept Islam. Allah is merciful. We advise Funmi too to do a deeper, objective research into Islam, perhaps God almighty may make her see the truth as truth and accept it and see falsehood as falsehood and denounce it. How pathetic will it be on the day of judgment, if after hearing and knowing all these, one still falls into the group of people that will be used as fuel for hellfire, with one's mind flashing back to this discussion and saying ''aahh, and these guys said this on Nairaland when we were alive o'', but it will be too late then. This is food for thought. |
thehomer:The Innovation being talked about here is 'new thing into the religion, meant as a worship'. It is called bid'ah. The innovation here is not worldly innovations like technology etc. |
Assalamu alaikum my brother, I saw your thread on Nostradamus (https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-213509.0.html ) in the politics section, but I have decided not to raise the correction in the politics section, but rather bring it home here. As you may have known believing in fortune telling, claims that somebody sees the future etc is highly prohibited in Islam. It's a form of Shirk. A Muslim is therefore not expected to believe somebody sees the future, whether nostradamus or any other person. Basing one's activities on these modern forms of fortune telling like Zodiac signs etc are also prohibited. A Muslim is expected to live his life normally, pray and hope for the best and not probe into the future either by consulting the so-called fortune tellers or using these Zodiac signs etc to guide your activities. Knowledge of the future solely belongs to Allah. Nostradamus do not share that quality with him. We disregard such assertions even if they appear coming true. The fact is that the way our brain works, we easily forget their many predictions that do not come true, but if one eventually come true(by coincidence), we bank on it, forgetting the 99 others that did not come to pass. In any case, a Muslim is not expected to believe in fortune-telling and other forms of future-predictions. Get me right however. There is no problem with predictions based on trend, but it should not be believed with absolute certainty. For example, with the help of correlation and regression and other statistical tools, coupled with experience, Economists can predict that Nigeria's Economy will experience boom in the next two years, or that the stock market will be bullish etc. These ones are just product of trend/experience. This is not the predictions I'm talking about here. |
abohrandy:Choose where you post from more. Most likely where you live(Abuja) otokx:Yes, I see this happening in the next few days. Many people working in Abuja have travelled to their states since December and will be trooping back tyo Abuja this weekend. |
I have tasted it already. Two days ago,I just climbed down from my office, stopped a bike man to carry me to the Mosque for Jumaat. The man just gave me a helmet to put on. He explained to me the new policy, and I had the thing tied to my head. The policy, I think, is very commendable, but I have seen many vital points raised here, from health implications to ritual potential. These points are very genuine, but somebody has already proferred a better way out: If you fear the health/ritual implications, buy your own and have it with you. That's a very good defence. I support the policy. |
Which Nairalanders will you want to meet, chat and probably dine with? I will like to meet the following Nairalanders: 1,Olabowale: Just want to know this egbon 2,Babs787: Like to meet him too 3,Muza: Longing to meet this Hausa guy that matches his Southern counterparts intellect for intellect 4, Deepzone/Earthmama: Longing to meet this 'alapepe' lady 5,Davidylan:Just to say ' kai, so you are the Davidylan whose posts generate controversies on NL. Nice meeting you" 6,Dayokanu: At least we can discuss Awo hall and Ife in general 7,Maisuya:Want to meet this Hausa guy too 8, Seun Olori-Oko himself: Curious to know Seun's lifestyle, the car he uses etc 9, Mukina2: Want to meet her and gist with her on what she feels about Nigerians 10,Javalove: I like this guy |
Muza:But there are more Nairalanders in Lagos |
faizbash:But don't tell me there are less than 278,000 Nigerians on FB. Nl has 277,158 members as I type now. |
Muza:Choose where you post most. I have posted from Sokoto(during service), Kwara(during Sallah, holiday etc), Kaduna(when on official assignment) but I chose Lagos because that's my base and that's where I post most. That simple. Still expecting the Sokoto and Kwara posters to surface pls. |
Don4life:Did that already yesterday. I left office for Jumaat in VI here, stopped Okada and was surprised to be given my own helmet to wear. I complied. ![]() |
starworld:Thanks. davidylan:Who are we? |
@ babs787, May Allah increase your knowledge for that wonderful contribution. earTHMama:Carrying and using charms is a very great sin in Islam, and in fact, it may lead a person out of Islam because it is a very great shirk(associating partners with Allah). A good Muslim will definitely not do that. However, due to the pervasive ignorance among many Muslims today, coupled with the mixture, by some Muslims, of traditional fetish practices with Islam, it is a pity that some Muslims still fall into this. Worse still, some people innocently have 'protective' charms placed on their bodies by their parents, maybe when they were young. Some other people could have also had charms on their bodies/homes, having consulted herbalists, deviant Alfas, and pastors. Pitiably still, some evil people also place charms on innocent Muslims. These are the ways some Muslims ignorantly have charms on their body. And as discussed earlier, charms work by way of Jinns. So expelling the Jinn may involve destroying the charms. earTHMama:The Prophet(PBUH) has not left us without explaining and practically demonstrating to us how to go about everything in our lives. This is one thing that keeps amazing me about this Islam. Very complete religion, in the minutest activity you can think of. While destroying charms, the Prophet taught us to recite Suratul Nas and Falaq(Q113-114). These chapters are very potent against evil, and they work wonders. |
Please who are the Landers that post from SOKOTO and KWARA? Just curious to know them. I have some personal gists with them. |
faizbash:Who's saying this? When there are already over 1 million Nigerians on Facebook!!! This is no surprise because Facebook is a social networking website where a lot of things can be done and Nairaland is just a forum.What's this? They serve different purpose pls. This has already been overdiscussed. Check the statitics here http://faizbash./ ![]() |
Jazakumullahu khaeran my good brother |
If I were to predict before this poll, I would definitely have picked Lagos and abroad as the surest contenders for AREA WITH MOST NAIRALANDERS. I think Rivers, due to PHC, is currently on third. I'm however disappointed at Oyo(with Ibadan and Ogbomoso), Kano and some other urban states having very few Nairalanders. Don't they care about the internet there? C'mon, what's happening over there? I doubt if we can have a single poster from Taraba,Yobe, Kebbi etc even if we leave this thread for months, except maybe for corpers there! |
I think this is a good initiative, as it affords Seun, and indeed all Landers, the opportunity to have some insight about the Geographical distribution of Nairalanders and how popular NL is across regions. I think NL is almost a household name in Lagos,especially among those looking for jobs. They call me Mr. Nairalander at work. At home, almost every topic we start, have at one time or the other, been discussed on NL before and there is hardly a day I don't make reference to NL in domestic discussions with my brothers/sisters. Ditto for my fiancee; we hardly talk without me making reference to NL. By the way, I'm a Kwaran posting from Lagos, so chose LAGOS! Nice to see landers from Zamfara,Sokoto, etc PS: I have always known that there are many Landers posting from abroad, so I'm not surprised. |
Answer to question1: I think it's OK having members birthdates/age displayed. On August 23, I was curious to look out for landers that share same birthdate with me. |
@ auwal, Can I have a copy of your article? Check my profile for my email address and let me have a soft copy. |
Where are the WC Nigerian players? |
TOP 5 1,Osaze Odemwinge (Nigeria's best player in Ghana, decent outing in Olympics and qualifying series) 2,Ikechukwu Uche (A very consistent performer, especially in qualifying series, but didn't do much in Ghana plus not turning up for Olympics) 3, Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi( An outstanding performance in Olympics plus Bundesliga) 4, Obinna Nsofor ( Solid Olympic performance) 5, Kanu Nwankwo(simply for history FA cup goals) |
I personally believe Messi is the best player in the world right now, but I think C. Ronaldo had a better year. I see CR7 winning WPOY. |

afam4eva:Qualifying is an issue/achievement on its own. Our performance at the mundial is another thing. At least we'll be able to boast of 4 WC appearances. |
earTHMama:During exorcism, the Islamic rules regarding relationship between a man and a strange woman should still be observed. This is very important as the Jinns can also bank on this flaw. Therefore, a male exorcist unrelated to the possessed female, should try as much as possible to avoid physical contact with the body of the possessed female. So what is done is that a strong Muslim from the possessed female's siblings/children is the one to hold the possessed while the exorcism is being done. The female possessed is covered up totally with only her face left opened. The male exorcist, if not related to the possessed female, should not touch the female freely but rather leave a small space while reciting the verses. To now answer your question, a female muslim with all the qualities of Knowledge, faith and piety can perform exorcism to a FEMALE possessed but not to a male. But this is very rare because female are naturally fearful, and may not have the mind. The best is for a male exorcist to perform on possessed male and a female exorcist to perform on a possessed female, but getting a female that can perform it is usually very uneasy. So most exorcists are male, but when they are performing exorcism on female, they need to observe the Islamic rules regarding relationship between male and unrelated female. earTHMama:For start, Nairalander bindex, who claims to be an atheist, witnessed one and had this to say: I visited my moslem relatives on the other end (I still lie to them that I am a muslim to gain acceptance) and experienced the same thing, there was a girl who is a relative of a wife of my cousin, she was attacked by Aljanu (evil spirits ), and was brought to a mallam who lives in my cousins vicinity, we took the girl there and the mallam began to pray for her using the Koran, once he started praying for her she began to scream, cry and roll on the floor, she begged them to stop reading the Koran and promised to leave the young lady alone and never to return, they asked the so called Aljani what his name was, his age, where he came from and the reason he got hold of the young girl, the girl said somethings and continued to shout and scream when ever the mallam read the verses from the Koran, the young girl kept saying things that were not very clear and of no particular meaning, she was speaking in tongues , in short it was really a DRAMICTIC scene, having been brought up as a muslim i had witnessed such events about twice or trice when i was a kidWhile the Qur'an is being recited by the exorcist, the possessed person begins to react by screaming, shouting and uttering some words. In actual fact, it is the Jinn inside him/her doing that. It will be screaming as if it is being hit/beaten by someone. And that is exactly what the Qur'anic verses, through Allah's power, does to it. If the recitation becomes very intense, the Jinn will begin to beg and ask that the recitation be stopped, that it will leave. The reciter will then begin to ask it questions like what's his religion?, why did he possess the person? etc. He can also preach to the Jinn to accept Islam etc. Some exorcists record this dramatic scenes and one was played on Radio Kwara some years ago in an Islamic programme on Jinns. The exorcist will then ask it to leave, usually through the toe. While leaving, the people around will, of course, not see it physically, but will feel it. The toe(or whichever part of the possessed it decides to come out through) will be shaking vigorously and you will know something is happening there. Also, while leaving, the exorcsit will feel, maybe through some strange strong air. After leaving, the possessed person becomes normal, and will feel as if he had just woken up from a dream. He will be weak. He will now be preached to and told to be reciting Ayatul Kursiyyu(Q2:55) and other verses everyday. He will also be advised on the need to improve his worship of Allah and other righteous deeds. |
