Modified: I just got what you were saying.

Yes, you're right but the scope of religious philosophy should be widened to accommodate conflicting or alternative views.

That's what we are missing in this pseudo-religious shambles of a country. Critical thinking and enlightened evaluation of ideas.

This is amazing you think RELIGION IS WHAT IT IS TO YOU AS IT IS TO OTHERS.

If the essence of religion is to be the working manual from God to human kind, then I don't want it "rationalize" at every turn by fellow homo sapiens.

The major problem "supposedly" 22nd century thinkers have with a religion like Islam is its dogged refusal to change with the times. And why should it? If its very spirit is that it comes from a higher power, God. Allah.

Who is All-knowing, All-Aware.

Interesting conversation!!!

In Islam, what's permissible is permissible and what is not permissible is NOT PERMISSIBLE except for some extreme cases where some conditions must be met.

Usury (interest)(Ri'ba) is NOT permissible and it was clearly stated in the Qur'an in unmistakable terms.

As a Muslim, and in the MAKE UP of the world we find ourselves today, there's no denying that it is practically impossible to Fulfill each and every tenets of the Deen even if a Muslim is willing and able to do so. That is because some decisions and conditions needs to be TAKEN by the Governing Authority.

Unfortunately, Usury is one of those problems which an individual Muslim cannot possibly be in a position to change the predominant banking system practiced here that is heavily based on western practices.

In addition, Nigeria is a secular state and not at liberty to establish or promote interest-free banking. Hence, the overwhelming numbers of commercial Banks in Nigeria deals heavily on interest as it's simply more profitable for them to do so.

However, a Muslim is still expected to avoid everything Haram as much as possible. The bottom line is dealing directly Giving interest based loans and/or receiving such is clearly Haram.

Common sense dictates that if giving and receiving of Usury is unlawful, aiding someone else is Also not going to be permissible.

You can rationalize your choice of working in an interest based commercial bank as much as you like, the fact still remains that will be the same as aiding or promoting Usury practice. You can say the economic situation is bad as mush as you want, but you're only being hypocritical to believe Working in a Bank is your only means of livelihood. There are many other possible and permissible sector that one can gain employment.

You make a conscious effort to study a course which may likely bring you closer to a Banking career. You make a conscious effort to seek employment in these same Banks. It was never your only viable option. Even the Gateman is directly being paid from proceeds from interests.
There's no way you work in a Bank and not directly benefits from the proceeds from interests based dealings.

The bank offers numerous other services that are not unlawful. Example is safe keeping of funds. And the coperate world makes it almost impossible not to own a Bank account. If there are no Islamic Bank, a Muslim May be forced to make use of the general commercial Banks.

The bank basic accounts services is safe keeping of monies and an individual normally does not benefits from its interest based practices. Infact, you're being charged by the bank for this service they render. If the bank do pay a percentage into your bank account as per the norm, you're expected to spend this interest based gains on Charity (Sadaka) without expecting any reward from Allah for it. You only sin if you spend it on personal use. But no reward for it when you give this percentage out as Charity as it's not lawful earnings.

Those who rationalize working in a Bank because the economy is hard, remember that's also how outright sinners say the go into illegal dealings because it was their only option.

Allah knows those who strive in his cause and those who strive in his cause only when it suits them.

Allah knows Best

Hi interesting question. There's a popular resource called Cracking the Coding interview. Many developers recommends it and I think it's a decent help.

Hope you don't mind my asking, the positions that are testing you with algorithm questions, are they local companies or foreign?

Damn Niga, how can you date your sister's house help? That's some fuvk up predator shiit.

If Nigerian men are put to the extremely scrutinizing test on sexual misconduct that's raving the western world, most of our popular and successful figures would have been disgraced I swear.

Guy, you shouldn't date your sister's house help. You would hold all the Aces and that's bad for a relationship. Leave that girl alone. If you're sincere and honest with your intentions, let your sister relive her of her job. You take care of her while she's living with her parents.

Don't fuvk up that girls life with your predator instinct I beg you. Fine, neat, caring girls full everywhere way no be your sister's help.

This got nothing to do with your supposedly superior class or status.

Wait oh, how come Sharper guys never really decode the part where the babe and our guy bargain 40K to learn Java?

Me thinks this girl wan learn Java without paying oh. Las Las how babe go pay her boyfriend to teach her anything? Bros, she's on a six months IT while you're in a six months relationship.

Ultimate77, me thinks everything will go out the window as soon as the 6 months IT is concluded.

As for your struggles to rise to the top of the list of 10 prospective husbands, that's some fukc up sh!t you know. That's like the reality program the Bachelor. Only in your case, it should be the 10 Bachelors and the IT girl. Fvck that shiit.

Look, if I discover a girl I'm marrying tomorrow kept any other guy on standby, collected his gifts just in case and accepted or entertained his marriage proposal as a fall back, I'm cancelling the wedding 100 percent no matter how close it is.

There's always a better option out there. But relationship in my opinion means both partners stop actively looking for other options and lower their gaze.

Guy, if I were you, I will brushing up my Java this weekend and on Monday, tell her the cost of Java is now 50K non-negotiable.

Vortex369:
Your Mother is no longer happy in her relationship with your Father. The word 'Dad' and 'Mom' do not deeply express the level of seriousness that parenting deserves.

Your Father has a new wife, a woman who has fully controlled him from 'the same issues' that led to the second marriage, and those 'same issues' surrounds your innocent mother. Mostly inter-universal misalignment of Soulmates. I get it.

What your Mother needs now, is Peace of Mind, Happiness, and Love, Yes Love.

Your Father MUST support her and your family as a man, and provide your Mother an accommodation for Life until/except she has another man.

And you as Children MUST ensure that you do not interfere but support the natural cause of events and ensure that both of your parents are comfortable in their decisions.

You do not need a lawyer, except your Father becomes unreasonable due to the influence of a third-force.

This is the second time I'm noticing this moniker comment on a delicate topic, the first was your advice for the guy on his findings about his 14 year old sister.

And on both occasions, your reasoning, tact and wisdom exhibited in addressing the issue and the solutions offered gave you away as one with a "Great Mind and a Great Thinker".

I honestly believe that your advice is: "So THOUGHTFUL that 99% percent of its readers won't comprehend the wisdom". I couldn't bring myself to say anything else after reading both your comments because they were simply the BEST.

@Reffone, if you want the most diplomatic solution aside from a traditional sit-down with a professional lawyer, this is the best advice you can possibly get. Believe me, nobody will or can say anything better than this.

Vortex369, the next time I see a reply from you "school me", I'm hitting the follow button. #uThinker!!!

Nigerians are always sentimental and emotional. They never focus on the real issues.

I don't know of any government that will fold its hands and listen to any talk of Revolution. You can't tell me the owner of an online news outlet don't understand the meaning of the word "Revolution" without using it.

Sowore's incarceration has nothing to do with ethnicity, hate speech, opposition, agenda, or the likes. Otherwise, Femi Fani kayode would have been in DSS custody since 2015. He's said more than anything Sowore will ever have to say. But Sowore's Revolution is a whole new level entirely. That will always draw the attention of any government.

I wish the government to follow court orders. But this is not the first time governments will disobey court directives. The common man have been disregarded numerous times when Government can't pay the minimum wage agreed. Nobody compel the government to pay against all odds. Sowore's predicament is his personal problem. The Court that can't convict Dasuki even if it was for misappropriating 50 Kobo is hard to trust. And when they finally have the brain power to convict a thief like Uzor Kalu, they give him some few years.

They will release Sowore. But by that time, his brain would have been formatted and will have no option but to join Nnamdi Kanu in barking outside our country.

gidgiddy:
So you think that when this matter resumes in court, and the judge asks for evidence that Sowore was going to overthrow government, they will bring printed outfits with logo? Dont make me laugh. Intention with no action is baseless.

To prove that Sowore wanted to overthrow government, the judge will want to see hard evidence to that effect. No judge is going to send someone to death or life imprisonment because of sentiments expressed in private or on video, the judge knows that a government cannot be overthrown by mere words alone.

If I go about telling people that I'm looking for a woman to rape, and someone records me as I say I want to rape a woman, can the Police arrest and charge for rape?

It is not enough for someone to say they want to commit a crime, they must act on towards committing that crime.

If all the police have on Sowore are videos, leaflets and printed wears, they have nothing

In the case of Sudan, it was people with guns that eventually overthrew government, not the protesters

Men, you must be an impossible fellow!!!

That guy gave you snippets of the law and clearly highlight the word "intends" in red to show you that the constitution regards intention as a fact to hold on to for cases relating to treason. Yet, you keep saying nobody will hold you responsible for saying you're looking for someone to rape.

Let me tell you now, your rape gimmick will land you in trouble if you were to ever try such. You'd be first suspect if anybody reports rape since you've already threatened to commit such. And of course, try saying you'll rape your friend's sister to his face and see whether you'll say anything else before he removes your teeth with jabs.

Pretty nice draw I must say!!!

My predictions are as follows...

Borrusia Dortmund Vs PSG
This will be a great game of football. I think PSG will edge it though because of their better attacker and overall, a better squad quality.

Barca Vs Napoli
This game will be easy for Barca. Why? Because Napoli tries to play good passing football and Barça still remains the master of such game. Barca will never lose at camp nou and couple with the fact the Game's most outstanding individual player is on their side is simply an impossible task OVER TWO LEGS for Napoli.

Juve Vs Lyon...
Juve should win this somehow, anyhow. Lyon can trouble them but I expect Juve to win regardless.

Valencia Vs Atalanta...
Two teams everyone else will like to face. I don't know much about Atalanta but they did give City a good game in the group games. Valencia are dogged and can play. Good organisation and tactics. They should progress after beating Chelsea and Ajax in the group.

Tottenham Vs RB Leipzig...
Spurs have an amazing squad of players people don't really give credit. I'm not a Mourinho fan but I gotta say: No team will fancy playing Mourinho with a group of players such as this Tottenham team. Mourinho's comment about hoping to face Bayern Munich again in a "proper" match moving forward is not a senseless wish, He meant it. RB Leipzig can win, but expect a Mourinho masterclass.

Liverpool Vs At. Madrid...
Now this is a CL that will be decided at the Wanda Metropolitano. ATM has to win the first leg to have any hope. If they lose at home, then Liverpool will be in for a riot. I think by now, people should really accept that winning at Anfield is almost a given for Liverpool. Atleti has to get something to hang on for at Wanda because they'll look like a "championship" side a Anfield.

Chelsea Vs Bayern Munich...
I'm a Chelsea fan and I wished Leipzig or Juve will pair us. But Bayern? PSG? Barca? No!!! So, Bayern will qualify. Chelsea just have to keep it a respectable scoreline. It's not just about Lewa. There's Gnabry, Coutinho, Muller, and a midfield of Thaigo and Kimmich who are really ballers and could move the ball clever and quickly as possible as Bayern always do. Chelsea can't defend because the CB and LB can't. The coach don't know how to teach defensively too. Just play our best team but keep them compact and low for both games. No pressing above the halfway line. Counter and defend. Simple.

Madrid Vs Man City...

This game is in Pep's hand. He could fvck it up himself or he could really really fvck Madrid up big time. Which pep will turn up? if LaPorte is fit and plays, pep should just play Fernandinho in midfield and the usual suspects of Silva and Debruyne with him. For the first leg, City should let Madrid have the ball why they counter. I no its against Pep's style but he did that against arsenal. A counter-attacking City could really mess Madrid up at the Bernabeu. If Madrid wins the first leg, then they'll be favorite to progress in my opinion. However, an away win for city and they'll humiliate Madrid. A team chasing the game against City and at the Etihad is Suicidal. Madrid can't outplay City, so they mustn't lose the first game because they'll won't win if city knows just passing the ball around in circles at the Etihad will see them through.

Can't wait for February Mhen.

Well, there has been Alot of hysteria over the last few days as regards Sowore vs DSS. I follow a lot of news and this one just happens to be one of those I've overlooked without paying much attention.

I believe I know why Sowore was arrested in the first place. Revolution Now? Who has forgotten? please check your dictionary and refresh the meaning of Revolution in the unforgiving context of a Sovereign state. You may make excuse for Sowore's Choice of protest Slogan but you can't Simply dismiss it! I mean, calling for a revolution is perhaps the equivalent of a Coup in the military setting. Guys, put it in perspective, a one time presidential candidate organizing a Revolution Whatever immediately after losing an election? in a democratic setting? what do you make of that? Sowore didn't believe in the court in the first instance, I'm forced to conclude.

If his march was about losing the election, then Atiku's route was the right way to channel grievances nonetheless. If it was about the general state of the nation, I believe there are other channels available to explore. people have planned and staged protest during Buhari's tenure and went home without being arrested. I know there will inevitably be attempts to disrupt such protest by authorities though. But if you tag anything "Revolution", the government holding sway will interpret it as a call for similar "Revolution that has occurred in History Books". Perhaps this is also another way to channel grievances but it comes with grave danger and reward if successful.

Perhaps, the overwhelming majority don't see any circumstance where Sowore successfully leads a "Revolution". I don't see it. the Courts don't see it. But Sowore still believes it. And from what his mother said yesterday about him always fighting for injustice and what is "right", I don't think he's ready to "Tell the government what they want to hear - Say na Play him dey play" Freedom of expression is a mirage that's only 90% true. Every Country and Nation keep the remaining 10% percent at "it's discretion".

In Catalonia, for those who see more than what is in front of him/her, the Spanish Government have jailed the leaders calling for referandum.

Nnamdi Kanu and Sowore are demanding for basically the same thing. Kanu only went farther in his endeavors. The government only grew wiser with Sowore and nipped it in the bud before it fester.

boninho:
I understand you better now...but come to think of it....4 3 3 requires midfielders well technically gifted...look at the teams you mentioned, Barca Bayern, Mancity....these guys control 60% of possession on average. I feel 4 3 3 for Chelsea is more potent against big sides because the opponents want to play. A trio of Kovacic,Kante, Jorginho cannot offer enough penetration for highly defensive teams operating with low blocks when out of possession. It becomes more tricky if their transition is very quick with pacy players. Kovacic and Jorginho are not that blessed with pace for recovery.

Kante has the least technique but he's still very much okay.

Chelsea average more than 60% percent possession since last season. We're actually the first team to dominate possession stats at the Etihad since Pep.

Individually, our defenders aren't good enough. They should buy 3 players between now and Next season. A CB, Koulibaly is perfect. LB, Chilwell is okay. And a left-footed winger, Ziyech is perfect.

Abraham is scoring. But I think a striker should give more than goals in the modern game.

Hmm.

Liverpool, keeping winning because I hope you guys win the EPL this season. As a patriotic Blue, it will be pleasing to know that Pep and Mancity can't have it all their way each year.

However, I won't support an unbeaten season. it will be a slap on the face of all the rest of us. But keep winning sha, except against the Blues of course. I'm sure city would do the needful at the Etihad if you're still unbeaten by then.

Congrats The Reds. Respect Earned.

hammerU:
My brother, i fear karma now.

Anybody that is doing evil should be very careful becos it will return to them or their children.

Did u see th accident that nearly killed Yusuf Buhari.

Human beings fail to know in this 3 dimentional world, every thing goes round and comes back around.

Earth round, Sun round and they all go round the universe which goes round the galaxy. The galaxy goes round other galaxy in an expanding round star system

Be careful oooooo

If Buhari dies tomorrow, it's not Karma. Death is an inevitability and all men must die. Good and Bad.

I'd be a fool to say place my trust in anyone I don't know. If you really want the best, then it's not someone anybody is familiar with here.
Nonetheless, I'll choose the best which is myself.

However, to play this wishful game. I'd like the President of CAN and the Sultan of Sokoto to be both presidents each for a 4 year term after while the other serves as vice alternatively.

So, When they eventually fail, Nigerians will actually believe that something is genetically wrong with the average Nigerian and No Messiah can come from a grossly inhumane environment like ours and behave different.

Just as we import foreign football coaches for Super Eagles, We should seriously consider importing foreign leaders. There is no shame in admitting we weren't ready for independence in the first place. And we aren't ready now.

boninho:
Boss, you will certainly win some games, but you have to analyse the level of threat the opponents you won posed...so it doesn't work like that...if you play Jorginho as the deep lying playmaker, Kovacic can't operate as a left sided midfielder. Nobody will cover for the LB when he pushes forward because naturally, Kovacic will drift inside. Same problem with Jorginho as the right sided midfield if you play Kante as the holding midfielder. Due to their characteristics, only two can start... especially away from home where teams get a bit bolder...with Chelsea's inverted wingers, there's more ground for midfielders to cover if you play 4 3 3

When you said only "two can start" I was really lost on your tangent. The 3 of them played majority of last season in a flat 4-3-3. They all played against Liverpool both games (They were all magnificent), Against Man city, they were great because of the control we have in midfield in the first 30 minutes.

It's obvious that having Kovacic-Kante pairing wasn't a remedy for defensive lapses. they've started several games and we conceded in all of them, and score few or fire blanks.

it's somehow funny when you believe a 4-2-3-1 actually protects the fullbacks better than a 4-3-3. Just think about all the teams who employed high-flying fullbacks in recent past and the formation used. Barca, Bayern, Madrid, Liverpool, City.

See, Mount does work hard but his contribution is farther away from our defensive third. He helps the pressing to upfield which gives us opportunity to counter immediately.

Jorginho moves the ball better than anyone quickly and consistent. he finds an angle. But he's also a primary defensive midfielder. A Kante-Jorginho-Kovacic brings greater balance than anyone that includes Mount. Talkless of the Kante-Kovacic variant with one less natural defensive midfielder.

Funny how Lampards thinks the 3 could play against the big teams and not against the smaller teams.

We won games when Kante was absent. Jorginho and Kovacic are very technical players and understand how to control the midfield with precise passing and movements. We played our best football with both on the pitch.

Kante will always play if fit, I get. Kante is very good at box to box roles nowadays so playing with Kovacic who drives forward too perfectly suite Jorginho because he stays back.

Now Mount is a good player. But he doesn't actually contributes directly in goal scoring. He's score a few but what does he give when he's not scoring? He's poor passing and looses balls everytime. Attacks breaks down with he's poor execution of passes.

Play a proper 4-3-3. Kante-Jorginho-Kovacic is a potential world class midfield. more solidity at the back and we'll still score goals.

My take....

Josh44s:
Spot on. I don’t just know why people keep on comparing both players. Severally both have won Best player of the year so that makes both of em equal. Had it been only one person won all during their era then I will say this one is better than that one. Its just plan truth. Both players are the best in the world. Both player Carried 1st. I had this kind of rival in my primary school days, it got to a point the school gave both of us 1st because it’s either I am 1st and she is second or she is 1st and I am second for good 5 consecutive years on a role. The 6 years we both attained 1st position and to add more salt to injury she was my secret crush. Today she is married to a pastor with 3 kids. I am married with 3 kids as well

Forget diplomacy. Messi is the greatest. They're both not equal. U don't care if Messi eventually wins less than Ronaldo. When you watch them play football, the difference is clear.

Only people who have very close personal relationship with Ronaldo believes his better, like his agent and family members and Portuguese players.

Casillas, Rooney, Mourinho, Klopp, Wenger, Capello, Lampard, Gerrard, and so many more all think there's no debate.

When Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was asked about the Balon Do'r, he said something like-- "The best player last year was Virgil, so he should win it. However if you're giving it to the best footballer in the world, give it to Lionel."

I've never been a Barça fan and never will be. But I can say with all frankness, Lionel Messi has no equal since men started kicking round leather. He's the best player ever. And I don't think anybody will ever reach his individual brilliance.

Ronaldo is a spoilt piece of shit. Because he's not winning that's why his absent. Such a disrespectful behavior after other professionals have watched him and Messi over the years win and still showed up.

Toni kross, German snipper ? side passing ? for madrid ?u must b joking

Compared to Debruyne, Kross is a glorified sideway passer. I've been watching him since 2013. You need to understand that's making assist and assisting the assister is far Harder than hitting 40 yards passes to calvajal and Marcelo on the sidelines.

Hazard is gradually regaining his form. And, Toni kroos has to be the best passer of the ball in europe right now. Dude is underrated.

Sideways passing? Maybe. Otherwise, he's no way near. Debruyne is the best passer of the ball by a distance. No comparison

DannyKoice:
Season 2 is out.

This is only show that has provoked genuine laughter in me. This is how I like comedy. Dark and Dry, and Serious. Not those Shameless and Good Place shit.

The end of the fucking world

I'm neither for or against the border closure but the pettiness displayed by commenters is prove most Nigerians aren't able to discuss issues rationally.

I'm so disgusted reading this post. Moreover, it's not difficult to read the personality of the writer from his inference that the northern environment is not ready for his 21st century knowledge.

Whereas, his lack of sensibilities is to blame and quiet frankly, you're not ready and matured enough to teach teenagers anywhere in Nigeria because you lack wisdom.

I mean, look at this man! Bothering teens with LGBTQ and Goodluck Jonathan refusal to support a western culture and ideology!

OP, how many Nigerians do you think you can find on the street with sufficient knowledge to have a civil conversation about Homosexuality? Do the west actually teach same sex marriages in their schools?

I can remember the first time I saw two men kissing. It was unbelievable and I still cringe when I see such on TV to this day.

Mr Man. That young girls definition was right and yours was not.

Marriage is a union between two consenting adults, a man and a woman as per the Nigerian Constitution. And that's valid For the North and South. Any other definition is not OURS. How you don't know that a thing mean different things to different people is Baffling to me.

You ought to get the sack. Thank your stars that the director pitied your naivety.

We learn everyday.

My two cents...

OP, as a fellow guy, I understand why you'd want to seat at the front of a cab. But this case is different. You're with a lady. Even more, she's your girlfriend. You should have sat at the back seat with her.

Now, some ladies would just let it go and not ask you to come seat beside her. But seeing that you guys are out on a date, she naturally felt you both should walk hand in hand on this special night. Hence, she felt the need to urge you to come to the back with her. She said it aloud and the driver heard too. You Should have joined her this time. I understand how it'd look but you can't allow issues play out in public like this. I'd expect you to just say "Okay" and join her. The driver is a stranger to you both I guess so no level there

I not too concerned about her leaving you at the cinema afterwards. Besides, I don't know if you enjoy tit-for-tat stuffs in your relationships.

However, However, I'd never overlook her behavior to the cab driver afterwards. Never! Personally, that's enough to end the relationship for me.

Last bullet.....

Bros, I hope you know you can't beg for love? Stop feeling like you need to appease her. Instead, let her know you'd like to discuss events that day and see if you guys could move forward.

Make it clear you err by not setting with her. Let her know leaving you at the cinema afterwards was a needless tit for tat and an overreaction.

Then, unmistakably, her behavior towards the driver is unacceptable under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Let her know that and insist she admits her wrongdoing.

Good people abound every where in the world.

If you have sufficiently learn one language and build things with it, the knowledge is transferable and you'd only need to learn syntax of the new language. Aim for mastery. I'd advice you stick with PHP and master it. If python looks attractive to you and you're not too deep already with PHP, stop asking further questions and double down on python and become a master. earn money with it and see which stack your next job leads you to
