ISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD. What does this signify? That Islam has triumphed and will continue to triumph in the face of the lies , conspiracies and Western machinations. This fact hurts them so badly . Lwkmd

You all know the truth but too blinded by hate to accept it. There is nothing you can do about ISLAM BEING THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN Europe and the rest of the world. UK's population affiliation proves this ;there are more MUSLIMS than CHRISTIANS in ISREAL(%17.7 percent Arab Muslims) compared to %0.02 Christian population. Christianity is banned in China( the most populous country in the world)but Islam has made huge progress there. Here in Africa , Islam still has the largest population affiliation. Kiss the truth .

stankezzy:
d difference is that d Christian terrorist was born a Christian and he stopped attending church services ,for a very long time and he doesn't shout Jesus while killing people ,so he is a Christian by birth but doesn't practice christianity in fact a known militant from Niger delta said d main reason he converted to Muslim is to be able to kill back those killing his people that when he was a Christian that he could not ,even when nobody is stopping him .it all depends on d spirit worshipped , one is wicked , evil and blood thirsty while d other is nice, liberal and doesn't want d death of sinners, rather he came to give life

Who needs your epistle ? Certainly not me. Christianity is just a brand in the modern sense . Confused lot.

CHRISTIAN TERRORIST invaded a mosque in Australia on a Friday and murdered innocent people months ago.

ISLAM has no place for terrorism . Period!

ValCon888:
Once upon a time, Islam used to be the pioneers of science and technology. The best medical practitioners and architects were Muslim. Some of the greatest architectural designs centuries ago are still on display in countries like Spain.

The Muslims of today ought to be ashamed of themselves. There's no innovation only retrogression and violence. Their stock in trade is terrorism in a world where more than 90% of Nobel Laureates in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) are Christians and Buddhists.

How low they have fallen.

If a fool wrote this I would not blink an eye . But for someone who almost came close to being intelligent, I can't pinpoint exactly the direction of your brain. Generalisation of facts is faculty logic

2kaybiel:
It is only Muslims that don't know there are Arab Christians and Arab Bible, majority of the Christian faith know that.

I'm pretty sure you didn't read my article to the very end. What ignorance!

This article is about Masihiyun Arab and the Arabic Bible.

ARAB CHRISTIANITY AND THE ARABIC BIBLE.
BROTHERS & SISTERS in Christ and Islam, have you ever read or stumbled upon an ARABIC BIBLE(Biblica Arabia) ?
Do you know that there are Arab Christians(Masihiyun Arab) who are citizens of Muslim majority countries and whose lingua franca(Language) is ARABIC? Do you know that Arab Christians are one of the oldest Christian communities in the world ?

I am shocked at the result of a survey which shows that the vast majority of the Nigerian citizens have not seen an ARABIC BIBLE,nor realised that there are ARABS of the Christian faith. Nigeria is a religiously polarised country, Christian south and Muslim North. Religious tension rears its ugly head occasionally. But when it is not effectively managed the authorities,it results in a bloody riot and a toll on human lives. In view of the foregoing, how would the Nigerian public now react to the discovery of an Arabic BIBLE aimed at a change of perception and a semblance of religious tolerance?

There are those who will say that the words 'ARABIC BIBLE' and 'ARAB CHRISTIANITY' are examples of oxymoron because they won't espouse ecumenism or anything next to it. However, it stands to reason that this latest discovery had left many in awe and it's still hard to believe that such phrase as Arab CHRISTIANITY is a reality in such countries as IRAQ,LEBANON,EGYPT,SYRIA,ISRAEL,PALESTINE,TURKEY,and JORDAN. There is always a rude awakening when one learns of the existence of an Arabic BIBLE and it attests to the readiness of the mind to unlearn wrong notions and stereotypes which were the products of one's unknowing years. For instance, if Joseph recieves a wrapped gift from Musa,a muslim, and later discovers the gift to be a Bible written in Arabic, he is likely to return the gift or dump it in the bin. But if Joseph knows that a Bible written in Arabic is only one of the many translations of the Hebrew Bible, he is most likely to treasure it .

In 2015 ,and for the first thing in the history of Nigeria,there was an outcry over an harmless Hausa word(Ajami)written in Arabic on the Nigerian currency. As a researcher, I availed myself the opportunity to study Israel, a Jewish country with a slender minority of Arab Muslims, and discovered that there the Israeli Shekel has an Arabic inscription and it's merely a symbol of inclusion in a country where Arab Muslims are the largest minority group(17.7% of the total population of Israel). The misconception that says Arabic is the language of Muslims attests to a fallacy of generalisation and it's baffling to realise that more people are bound to persist in this error. This message should hence resonate with people who show fanatical tendencies so much that they always are ignorant of certain things that matter.

To set the record straight, there are far too many of us who despite being Muslims don't know that there is AN ARABIC BIBLE . When I first came across a copy , I was shocked to the bones and I rather allowed myself to be shamed by this simple fact which, I never believed,speaks for itself.The same degree of humility is expected of you if you are just getting to know of an ARABIC BIBLE Arabic is a language and speaking Arabic does not make me an Arab or a Muslim . Sometime ago, we were told of a Christian lecturer who bagged a PhD in Arabic from UNILAG. As though it was newsworthy,. We won't admit how much we hate one another openly but when we go to the market no one cares about the religion of the meat seller. When you buy Dano milk ,you can see an ARABIC word on it. It says ' HALAL' which means LAWFUL and highly recommended for human consumption. What truth does it speak to our conscience? That BIGOTRY is an arch enemy of truth and knowledge.

In my proceeding essay, I offered a short history on the translation of the Bible which can not be sufficiently treated in this discourse. Hence, it is necessary to begin by saying that there was indeed a turbulent chapter in the history of the Christianity and nothing could be worse than the persecution of Christians in Gaul ( what is now known as France) under Emperor Marcus Aurelius . The moral codes of Christianity derived mainly from the teachings of Jesus offended the Romans whose beliefs were radically different. An average Roman citizen believed in PATRIOTISM and devotion to the state as the highest goal,where as Christians in Rome and Roman provinces maintained their conscientious objection to the affairs of the state and rejected conscription into the Roman army. For the over 300 years that saw the decline of Rome , Christianity which had begun with the ministry of Jesus in Judea in the 1st Century . By the time of Emperor Constantine I , the Western Sector of the Roman Empire had fallen. Meanwhile, the conversation of Rome from PAGANISM to Christian worship had begun in Constantinople with the enactment of the Edict of Milan in 313.
The translation of the BIBLE from Hebrew into Greek began with the commissioning by Emperor Constantine I of the 50 Bibles of Constantine . As more and more people converted to Christianity across the world (especially on the heels of Western Imperialism) , translation into several languages was successfully carried out with the result that Christianity has become the largest religion in the world. Similarly,the same thing can be said of the translation of the QURAN from Arabic,it original language,into several languages across the world. As for Arabic Quran and other versions, there are rigorous standards for determining shared linguistic properties , clarity of translation and these go back to the original language which constitutes the basis for any other translation. This rigidity seems to imply that the language of the Quran is is fixed not nationalistic or regional . It's readership is not limited to one particular Arabian stock as even non-Arabs can read the Quran in its original form.

Even as women they still complain of being inferior to men . Their desire to dominate and Lord over the rest of mankind springs from the inability of men to overlook the snare in their beauty. They are nothing without men but there's nothing they can do to alter the order of nature. Feminism,which is a new age philosophy,does not have the stamina to endure for long. Most Nigerian women are not naturally respectful,intelligent and cultured . They believe they are demi-godesses who deserve to be worshipped even as they have nothing more than their beauty to offer.

Richdad50:


A young 100 level undergraduate between 17-21 years old may not have the stamina or maturity to embark on such a tumultuous journey of parallel faith but mutual love.

Love, relationship, and raising godly children is enhanced by a common belief system in the home. A family where you have distilled and parallel beliefs rarely enforces unity, love, and proper upbringing of a child. Most often, the children are left to their own fate to decide faith. Even the man/woman grow apart with time and age.

Son, if you would listen to my counsel, never marry a woman from another faith except you are convinced she can be converted. For the ladies, never marry a man of another faith because you can never convert him. It may happen but it is only for a while. He will surely return. Exceptions are not overruled.

Love is not finite but a home is. A man and woman as they grow older re-route the concept of love and affection towards the perspective of his/her God and how he understands the tenants of his faith. We treat our women differently and believe in one wife till death. We believe a man is the head but equal with his wife. We treat our women with dignity and respect. We honor them and listen to their discerning gifts. We allow them the freedom to navigate their purpose and the privilege to be who they want to be.

What's this smart alec saying? Gibberish !

Congratulations Brother Mubashir !

You made a good point ! I have noticed it too

Dimples0303:
Dump the he-losho, you can do better! All men are scum

Who broke your heart?

I once asked my gf whether or not she would turn down advances from a super star . Lol

She just da look me

GrabHisBalls:
You actually didn't help her get the job. She did that herself. So, now that she's got a job, you are having a rethink about the breakup? Man is inherently selfish!

Idiot as your name suggests. Low life scum

The reason I posted this on NL is to motivate guys who allow Breaking Up to rid them of happiness. Relationship or breakup or what- have- you is the LEAST if my problems in life.

Life goes on joor

blackpanthar:
you are still grieving... else why come here to blow your little trumpet.

calm down boss... this proves NOTHING.


why didnt you help her after the break up... helping her apply DURING THE RELATIONSHIP... does not count... you were a fortunate mugu

Mumu you can't comprehend simple English.

She sent me a friend request on fb and I accepted this Ibadan beauty. Months rolled by , conflicts ensued and we eventually broke up yesterday . In the course of our relationship ,I applied for a Federal Govt Job on her behalf and luckily she landed this plum job today after two months of frantic efforts.

Initially, I thought she would turn down the offer . But she never did and as I type she is planning to come over to my place. I keep asking myself if this break up is genuine. Lol

#Small World
#Be good without expectations.
#Life goes on

Phenomenal16:
I experienced my first heart break � today....

I broke up with her yesterday and got her a federal job in Katsina. Funny enough ,I thought she would turned down the offer. But she accept am sharp sharp. She is coming for an interview (just formality u know)on Monday and I'm preparing to receive her.

Women!!!

You only allowed an idiot to make you act foolishly on nairaland. Jack Ma will envy you but you know what he is far more successful than% 99.9 of Nigerians.

NwaAmaikpe:




Forgiveness is key.
It can never be overemphasized and this is why the church will always encourage it.

I want to use this medium to congratulate Pastor Biodun Fatonyibo on his victory at the courts and in the spirit of forgiveness I ask that he forgives the Dakolos and not further increase their penury by taking that 1million naira from them.

I also pray that the good lord gives Busola and Timi Dakola the boldness to come and ask for forgiveness from Biodun Fatonyinbo whom they have slandered and maligned but I expect Biodun to give them the public humiliation they deserve when they come crawling.

They have finally learnt that a court trial is not the same as a media trial because Instagram declared them victims but the court has made Biodun the victor.

Who says the court is not the last hope of the common man?

Bastard of a guy . Where have you been??

Thank God I'm a MUSLIM .

I WOULD RATHER CONVERT TO JUDAISM THAN ADD TO THE alternately dwindling and growing NUMBER OF CHRISTIAN SHEEPLE in this country. They have made a mess of the religion with the entrenchment of American Pentecostal madness with all its roots in the prosperity Gospel.

I stopped taking Reno seriously after Prof Wole Soyinka worded his silliness early this year.

What a charlatan!

Zoharariel:
Don't mind the bastard. In 2016, her father donated $14Million to University of Lynn in Florida simply because two of his daughters (Amouna & Hauwa) graduated from there.

Only for him to turn around and lie that he only donated $900,000.00 (Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars) when the hit became so much on him.

If not for a useless Country like Nigeria where anything is possible, especially where you see servants riding on horseback like Princes - and Princes walking on foot like servants; this illiterate quota-system money-miss-road would never have smelt even a kerosene (since their progenitors were using firewood to cook), talk more of an Oil Block from the Niger Delta.

And If not that his cranium is filled with a fermented Tuwo Shinkafa, his people are suffering from the incessant rampage of Boko Haram and all he could do was to donate $14Million to a useless Amerikan University just to show off.

Perhaps, I wonder if would have done the same when the North as a whole was still drinking & quenching its thirst from their basket of useless groundnut pyramids.

One last thing, if anybody believes Femi "Kriminal" Otedola would donate 5Billion Naira to support Al-majiri destitutes in Maiduguri or elsewhere through the foundation of his wayward international olosho of a daughter, then that person needs to first bang his/her empty head against the wall before digesting this piece on how he has been manipulating the stocks of Forte Oil & short-changing his shareholders through the Nigerian Stock Exchange/Capital Market for decades.

You think a thief would dash away his money yanfu-yanfu just like that when he's not a Father Christmas?

https://promptnewsonline.com/why-buhari-must-investigate-stock-manipulation-forte-oil-in-perspective/

As for Reno Omo Kiri-Kiri aka Wendell Simlin, no one takes him seriously again ever since he was bursted on Nairaland using 3 monikers to quoting & replying himself just to sway people's opinion.

From the top to the bottom, all of them are kriminals.

It remains that loose-mouthed failed Aviation Minister to trend with his reaction as usual on Twitter.

How a cocaine-snorting bastard got a ministerial appointment in a land that has Kings & Chiefs still remains a mystery.

Is it possible you don't realise how much of a miserable life you have? What sort of a bitter hateful baleful person are you?
