Countries that border the north speak Arabic; Niger, Chad etc.

Niger speaks French. It's only in the northern part where Arabic may be spoken. Same for Chad.

hopefulLandlord:
It beats me why an all powerful god relies on humans to retaliate for him when insulted.

It's humans that would tell you God exists

it's humans that'd tell you a particular written text is the "true" word of god

it's humans that'd tell you what god wants

In the end it's still humans that'd get angry and react when you insult this god.

It's almost as if this god they keep yapping about doesn't exist.

Are you trying to say Muhammad is the god of islam?

Joebie:
So let me announce to my well wishers that my bouncing baby boy was born on Nov 3rd thereby bouncing Trump from the white house

Did sultan attend the meeting as SULTAN OF SOKOTO or as leader of Supreme council of Islamic affairs? Why is CAN president not at the meeting?

He is not in actuality a traditional ruler but an islamic ruler. I would have loved if he is strictly a king that represents his people irrespective of their religious status, but the way I see it, that title sultan is from an islamic background.
Do you think the sultan will be concerned about the welfare of Sokoto christians. If at all he thinks about them, he will prioritize the welfare of his fellow muslims even if they come from Edo state over the indigenous Sokoto christians.
That's why I believe that Sokoto and many of these core northern towns do not have actual traditional rulers but islamic rulers who favour muslims over non-muslims.

myobjective:


Who made him the leaders of Nigeria Muslim?
His grandfather was a warmonger that uses religion to actualized his selfish political ambition. Sultan is a king and should be address as such.

The headline should be: Buhari, monarchs meet in Ado Rock. Sultan is also a monarch, he does not deserve a special mention. There is no sense in separating him from the other monarchs. We in the south always complain of northern domination but we are the ones encouraging it by putting them ahead of us through our media outlets.

I don't see him as a monarch but a religious leader. Same with those northern emirs to an extent.
The sultan is the equivalent of the national chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria.

02Kebreal:
They start by launching attack against Islam and the Muslims and then come up with Media war against Islam.
We won't be deterred, we won't sit and watch any idiot insult our noble Prophet (PBUH).
The best human to ever grace the mother earth.
U can't Use ur hate campaign to stop us.
Call us names,no problem, but don't dare insult our Prophet(PBUH)
I wonder what the west stands to gain by trying to bring Islam down.
They want to bury us,they don't know we were seeds.

How is he the best human on earth when
1) he owned slaves
2) he married a toddler and slept with her when she was only 9 years.
3) he flirted with his son's wife and married her.
4) he worshiped the pagan allah and allah's daughters in the satanic verses given to him.
5) he initiated mutah (temporary marriage which is fornication) to his people.
6) he brought adult breastfeeding to his people.
7) he killed men and raped their wives and converted them to slaves.
he killed Christians and Jews by terrorizing them.

ThatFairGuy1:

NEVER will you see Muslim insult Jesus, Christianity or Bible. We're enjoyed not to do so. Insulting Jesus is a great sin itself

When you say our bible is corrupt, is that not an insult?
When you deny the divinity of our Saviour, is that not an insult to Jesus Christ?

smartsmith0907:


He played in friendly matches

Okay I see.
Muchas gracias.

smartsmith0907:


he doesn't need a switch

Why?
I thought he played for the U21 and the youth teams of England

Olulong:
What's up with Ramon Azeez, is he injured??

He's injured

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Well thing is if he still wanted England then he would not have applied for a switch in the first place. Once his switch to Nigeria is complete, there is no going back.

So yes, Lookman is coming home.

Okay, thanks.

AnanseK:

The business centers a.k.a prosperity churches are missing the Jonathan type government largesse.

Their private jets are rusted, they want to remove Buhari by all means.

Mohammedan, what is your business with this thread.
There is a Mohammedanism section in nairaland that your contributions will be needed.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... You are right. He will challenge anyone on the left even new boy Ejuke. Also, Lookman can play on the right and if you noticed closely, he is quite kinda two-footed. Dribbles well with his right majorly but also uses his left foot proficiently. The goal was even scored with his left. He will be a fantastic addition to the depth of our wingers.

On him changing his mind, well... His papers are already with FIFA awaiting full and final clearance. Lookman is coming to us as things stand. But yeah... Time will tell eventually.

If FIFA clears him and so he is eligible to feature for us, then he Lookman decides to change his mind about playing for us, can he walk straight back into the English national team or will he need to file another change in nationality from Nigeria to England?

For me, I will be glad if he plays for the Super Eagles.

barackodam:
Komekn.

Mr it can only happen in the EPL.

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Cadiz.

Segunda team

At the Santiago Bernabeu.

I just say make I hala you......

You can that again.
You're absolutely spot on.
Kudos.

Dididrumz:


True.

whether PDP or APC, what is bad should be labeled bad.

I'm glad Obaseki won his election but this act is condemnable.

The local government councils are responsible for paying their salaries.
It isn't suppose to be the concern of Gov. Obaseki.

aremuforlife:

That means you are in support of the state government for withholding their salaries because they are differ in political party

DeejaywonDJ1:


You're very right and wrong: the first standard Yoruba was based on Oyo and Ibadan dialect due to the fact that the author "Samuel Ajayi Crowther" hailed from Oyo region (Osoogun). But the present Standard writing includes all the Yoruba dialects and its very easy to understand by any speaker of Yoruba wherever you are located. Since Yoruba is pluricentric language there is no general rule for how you should write it. All Yorubas, Igalas, Olukumi, Itsekiri and some part of Nupe and Baribas understand and can speak the general Yoruba but your local accents will still be noticed no matter where you come from. Only few people speaks the general Yoruba language without accent and they are mostly Yoruba professors eg. Peter Fatomilola, Adebayo Faleti, Wande Abimbola etc. And don't forget that Yoruba is an Isolating language aswell with no inflectional morphology.

Okay thanks.

marsman:

Can you speak it?

The fact that I can't speak it does not mean others can't.
Go to Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Equatorial Guinea, Puerto Rico and so many other countries in Central and South America including the Caribbean speak the Spanish language.
Spanish is the second language of the United States.

AMvanquish:


Interesting. Thanks for the info, never knew.

You are welcome.

OhBiafra:
What stupid question is that?

Mind you, the central Yoruba spoken by many is the Oyo dialect.
Akoko dialect in Ondo North is very different from the Oyo dialect. Then you talk of the Owo dialect, Okitipupa dialect, Ore dialect and so on.
This means that you expect every man from Ondo state to learn the Oyo dialect so that they can communicate with each other without problems.
That is equivalent to what the English language or pidgin will do.
i.e. a person from Ondo state including the indigenous Ijaws learning the Oyo dialect may be equivalent to learning the English language or pidgin.

GreatResearcher:
If it was by English, we wouldn't know Messi.
Let the right man wins.

Espanol (Spanish) is a global language.

AMvanquish:
They should have allowed Yoruba to make it easier.
Is English our mother tongue. How has English improved leadership in this country.
There is One Jigawa house of Reps member that his English is bad, but his people love him for his type of leadership.

Ondo state is not a 100% yoruba.
There is a sizable minority Ijaw tribe indigenous to the state.
Maybe he should have spoken in pidgin.

J111333:
English no be our language.
As long as he has something to offer the state, he is good to go.

Ondo state is not a 100% yoruba.
There is a sizable minority Ijaw tribe indigenous to the state.

StagethemTVee:
The debate should have held in Yoruba?

Misterdhee1:

Obaseki himself was a product of godfatherism. Ambode was removed because the bloc that produced him believed he digressed from the structure that has been in place since 1999. And to drive home the point, the guy lost heavily at the primary. They wanted to do the same shit with Fashola, but Fashola's antecedents in his first term stood him through. Obaseki was wrong to have refused to swear in elected lawmakers. They had their mandates, and the fact that they didn't agree with his politics does not invalidate those mandates. If you call that being politically smart, then that's not different from godfatherism too.

It is the clerk that swears them in.
These 14 elected members were told to come to the house and be sworn in, but they refused.

pretydiva:
Nice 1. It's high time churches start giving back to the society

They have always been given back to society.

Ategberoson:




that's why I said your likes should stick to romance section, Obaseki have been with Oshiomole since he emerged Edo state Governor, so which 4years are you blabbing about


you called not inaugurating elected Edo district constituencies members dislodging godfather


you no get shame

As regards the house of assembly members, Edo APC conducted a free and fair primaries for the emergence of their party candidates. This was done and the list was sent to the national headquarters so that they will vet the list and send to INEC. But Oshiomole being the national chairman decided to replace all the names in that list with his cronies. He sent an entirely new list of his cronies to INEC so that when they were elected, he would use them to checkmate Obaseki and perpetually be the godfather in Edo politics. Obaseki did his best to curtail Oshiomole.
This was the genesis of the house of assembly problem.

Ategberoson:



nothing weakling in a bloody technocrats favoured to be privilege to be a Governor. Ambode is a mere private auditor employee that got connected to worked as a civil servant then Governor compare to Obaseki that had been in politics for Years


Ambode has not even spend up to 7years in politics and those cabal that he formed misled him.

politics knowhow and weakling is a different thing, because ikenna know how to do business than Adamu doesn't make Adamu weakling. Knowledge is power

Obaseki has only been in politics for just 4 years.
Obaseki was a nobody in politics before he became a governor.
But he was able to play his politics right by dislodging the godfather Oshiomole.

flowmama:


This goes beyond that bro. Oshiomhole himself is a muslim and was voted for massively. You guys are forgetting the economic hardship APC gov are meting on people. Talk about new petrol price , job loss, fulani herdmen invading farms etc.

You think Oshiomhole alliance with Federal government would have been an added advantage?

Oshiomole is a Christian (catholic). He converted to christianity through his late first wife.
