makavel7: Are you guys brain-dead MTN imposed the fine on themselves!!! NCC did not wake up in the morning and pull that figure out of their a..! for every unregistered line that all networks fail to disconnect from their network after the given deadline attracts a punitive fine of $1000. MTN like they always do told NCC to go to hell and still kept 5.2 million unregistered lines on their network. 5,200,000 x 1000= 5,200,000,000.
If MTN was operating in the US and the Homeland Security Agency gives them that directive, they would have disconnected every unregistered line 2 days before the deadline. This should be used to send a clear message to all companies providing services to the Nigerian public that it's no more business as usual. If they feel they are too big to obey the laws of our land then let them get the hell out!
Hmmmmm
Their deviant and disrespectful of the government order is condemned, they should be punished.
But you will see at the end of the day, the government will reduce it for them. The fine is so so much.
Or maybe they will be allowed to pay it over a period of many many years (long time).
parisbookaddict: Yes there are passages where islam preaches peace.. i know cos i have read them but there is a tiny little problem. . islam does not preach peace to non muslims..only preaches peace with fellow muslims. .
The quran is littered with intolerance and bigotry. . Its fortunately that many muslims ignore the violent parts but the islamists do not ..
Here is a small sample "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not"Quran tells Muslims to:- kill unbelievers wherever they find them(Q. 2:191 ),- murder them and treat them harshly(Q. 9:123 ),- fight them, (Q. 8:65 ), until no otherreligion than Islam is left (Q. 2:193 )- humiliate them and impose on them apenalty tax if they are Christians or Jews,(Q. 9:29 )- slay them if they are Pagans (Q. 9:5 ),crucify, or cut off their hands and feet,- expel them from the land in disgrace.And as if this were not enough, “they shallhave a great punishment in worldhereafter” (Q. 5:34 ),- not befriend their own fathers orbrothers if they are not believers(Q. 9:23 ), (Q. 3:28 ),- kill their own family in the battles ofBadr and Uhud and asks Muslims to“strive against the unbelievers with greatendeavor” (Q. 25:52 ),- be stern with them because they belongto hell (Q. 66:9 ).How can any sensible person remainunmoved when he or she finds the Quransaying: “strike off the heads of theunbelievers” then after a “wide slaughteramong them, carefully tie up theremaining captives” (Q. 47:4 ).
You should understand that the verses of quran did not reveal to the prophet at the same time. Each verse has it own history when and why and what happened when the verse was revealed. So each verse has it own explanation, it is called quranic commentary and explanation (tafseer).
Hence you cannot just pick a verse or some verses and say islam is violent.
parisbookaddict: Yorubas are very tolerant. . Youruba muslims are friendly and most times dont even know whats in the quran.. there are tonnes of terrible verses in thw quran..
U can read my past topics i created on the issue
Yorubas are generally tolerant, we have in most families people of different religions.
But you should know that many yoruba muslims know well what is in the quran. Islam preach peace, Islam is religion of peace.
But those attacks from the so called islamic groups are more based on politics. They see themselves as freedom fighters. They are groups on certain ideology.
this is a fight between the landlord and tenant over toilet issues, the tenant was caught pouring soup inside the toilet, and guess wat? he was flogged by the landlord, unfortunetly for the landlord the tenant won the fight
Watching the video was sickening. nigerians have been reduced to humiliation. See two elderly men fought one another because of the debase situation our people lives.
Presently the policing system is not reliable. Peoples do not believe in reporting their misunderstanding to police to sort it out.
