[quote author=post.email]What do you mean Islamic nations? You talking of all the OIC members?
You got to remember that many nations are tired of the west's biased stance and policies, most hated is the US. People are now wary of deifying the US. Today's unipolar world has given rise to the west concentrating more powers, and excessively bullying other nations. Remember Libya, Iraq, and now Syria. I see hypocrisy in western policies: CIA rendition - kidnap for torture; Guantanamo -arbitrary detention; US/ Isreal's extra judicial killings of Iranian scientists; coups / regime change; using democracy and human rights to affect Western interests.[/quote]
You have not made tangible point, the same blame game we hear every day, the west is killing Syrians? Baseless allegation after allegation.

Demaejy: Due to irrational arguement on which country is d most racist which no answer was given in particular because racist is in evrywhre of d world.

Share your experience abt diz behaviour abroad and reaction you think is the best in return back that will not cause any violence,then if at someone attacks by skin head racist,is it adviceable 2 run away or confront them.
Share it jst for forthcoming travellers.

Pls,justwise dont move diz 2 anoda section bcoz hv brought dz similar topic and u moved it.

I am not one of the scammers or 'abroad aspirants' you trade words with here on a regular basis. Not by a very long mile.
I find your comment insulting.
My comment wasn't insulting and i maintain that, the idea that Nigerians love each other and nobody cares if you are Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa is untrue and misleading, that is a fact and not in anyway an insult.

AjanleKoko: Well, there are ethnic tensions everywhere.
UK - IRA vs British government
Spain - ETA vs British Government
and so on.

But I am telling you, based on day to day interaction, when i go to the market, I buy from Hausas, Igbos, Yorubas. Nobody gives a crap where anybody is from.
Don't know any other assessments that should be used.

AjanleKoko: Nigeria isn't racist. Not at all.
There are no serious ethnic tensions in Nigeria, save those in the North, between Berom and Fulani people.
Nothing on the level of Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, etc.

It's more of people complaining than actual open hostility to people of other tribes and races. E.g. Ibos don't like Yorubas, Ijaws don't like Itsekiris, that kind of thing. The politicians sometimes use that to stir up trouble. But overall, nobody really cares where you're from.
That is contradicting, at one point you are saying Nigeria is not racist at all then you went on to mentions some cases.

John8000: Oh okay.. Thanks mate! Fingers crossed then.. But I know God is always faithful.. I just hope they wldnt call to verify current balance... @ least I know the bank statement shouldn't raise any eye brow for them to doubt anyways.. Except.. Hmmmm.. I submitted the access bank statement 5days to a month before it expired... I mean.. I printed out the statement 16th july and submitted it 8th of august.. Since the rule also stated that the bank statement shouldn't exceed a month before use... Right? I pray they wouldn't have any reason to verify.. [b]And my past record in the uk was kinda good considering the fact I didn't work or use up any of the 20hrs I was given in my previous or owe any school fees or criminal record..throughout my first stay in the uk .. [/b]I just hope they don't dwell on the current balance thing... Thanks justwise... Wld let u guys know how it turn out.. But am still positive anyway..

John8000: Yes true, that would send a wrong intention.. I have tried checking if any nigerian bank has been blacklisted but I don't see any in the list... But seriously justwise, have u heard of anyone who has similar case and was refused?
Like i said before, no Nigerian bank is on the list yet but they do update it monthly to add or remove bank names.

I know one or two people who were refused because their banks were not corporating with the UK embassy during verification, in one case particularly the applicant got the bank statement from the branch office because he knows somebody there who 'build' the account for him but the embassy called the headquarters and found out the real deal.

In your case, if you are refused (never wish that on any genuine student) you can win the appeal because you have the evidence that the money was transferred to the UK but you don't have the time for a appeal as it takes ages.

I'm not in any way suggesting that the embassy is definitely going to call your bank....just painting scenarios.

John8000: Thanks Just! yeah i am aware and i made it clear to my bank its for studying purposes plus i can always pull out my history at the point of entry if they need it or travel on a weekend if that might cause issue.. loool .. just a bit bothered if the withdrawal wouldnt affect my application.. the first time i applied for my visa, i withdrew the money from my account same day before submitting my application and i got my visa which i never thought i broke any rules till lately when a mate argued the rule stressed on 28days but sometimes they could be NUT but you know policy changes with the UKBA thingy and u guys treat issues like this everyday and i was wondering if you guys ever heard of anyone refused on this ground.. Don and Darky explained too but u know UKBA are crazy sometimes.. i really wanna believe they dont ask bank for current balance.. i dont know just hoping though... whatz ur thought?


Actually the rule stated that you should keep the money for 28days and it also be available to you in the UK, so withdrawing it even before the visa comes out sends a wrong message.

The UK embassy do not verify every account, they pick those that raised an eyebrow or at random, if they put a call to your bank and asked for the current balance in your account at that moment, what do you think your bank will say?

UKBA blacklist banks that covers up fraud for their customers or banks that refuses to corporate. Check the UKBA website for blacklisted banks, no Nigerian bank is on the list but the list is being updated monthly.

John8000: at once oooo.. all of it at once...i withdrew it and transferred it through my skye bank dom acct
4M is about £16,000 which is above money laundering level, to cover your backside make sure you have paper evidence of the transfer history from your Nigerian bank to Barclay's bank.

If you are 'flagged' and stopped for questioning you be asked to show those evidence.

rbjimoh: Have critics of islam ever challenged themselves to know islam, as it is,as opposed to what the western media said it is? Do it today and your mind would be tempered by the words of your Creator. Just google: 'stories of why people come into islam in the west' and you'll be misty-eyed at the end of your read of how great islam is. Haven't you honestly told yourself that no faith could've stood the blasphemy of the critics, as it is against islam, other than true religion? Haven't the so-called men of knowledge tried to find inconsistencies in the Qur'an vis-a-vis scientific evidences and only found Qur'an propositions far ahead of thinking of mortal men? Haven't you read that the meeting of Indian ocean and atlantic ocean, where there is no physical barrier seperating them but do not flow into each other, discovered by a Friend scientist in 1940s, had being a truth told in the Qur'an since its revelation?...have you...
Comment like that is not helpful, blame the west game does not cover the real issue here, we all know that there are people within Islam who are committing all sorts of crimes in the name of Islam, genuine Muslims are too quite to speak out against these individuals who damaging the name of their religion. There are many Muslims in the west, what are they doing to present the true Islam? Don't blame the west, blame people who twist the teaching of your religion because its not hard to google those misguided teaching posted by some people who claimed to be speaking for Islam and not the west.

[quote author=Man_51ut]what's that then?

i agree that by the definition we might not be racist, but your argument is that basically we're not racist, because we don't have anyone to be racist too. racist comments have been made on this thread and loads of people have co-signed them.[/quote]Of course Nigerians are racist to other race i.e the west/Europeans, not only in this thread have they openly expressed it, check any other thread to has to do with the West or Europeans and see some nasty hateful comments, but the same Nigerians will be quick to point finger at 'oyibo' people for hating blacks. You can't have it both ways, so yes if you want to list the names of racist countries then Nigeria has to be in that list.

Islam › Re: Honest Opinion Of A Sincere Muslim by justwise(m): 5:08pm On Aug 27, 2012
adyby: I respect your opinion bro. The issue to me is that Islam is a religion of knowledge. Even reading and understanding of the qur'an and that is why we have what we call 'Tafsir ul qur'an' which includes:
1. The circumstance surrounding the revelation of a particular verse or even a whole chapter. (in this case another verse(s) of the qur'an are used
2. It adaption through the teachings (sayings and practice) of the prophet. Since all prophets came for only two important assignments, to warn the mainkind from what is evil and move away from it and be the bearers of glad tidings i.e to tell mankind the reward of perseverance on earth.
So, somebody who was just born as a muslim and refused to learn, what do you expect of such person?
I totally understand the picture you just painted, but you just have to understand that there are people who will refused to learn and preferred taking the opposite view, religiously speaking...you do not give up on that person neither will you force your view on that person, your behaviors towards that person 'might' change his stand on certain things.

You can only maintain what is right in the eyes of the God you worship and leave the rest for him.

justaqad: Salam Alaykum
'Every muslim is a potential terrorist' as widely speculated by non-muslims.i believe the muslim ummah are not doing enough to stop this menace trying to smug Islam.terrorism is war against Islam,it must be met with stern resistance and rejection by all muslims.i am not implying we are not doing enough but our best is not good enough.muslims are converting to other religions due to the damaging effects of terrorism.Islam is the shield terrorist use to perpetrate this evil,callous,inhumane,barbaric,and uncivilized act.
Fighting and winning terrorism can only be obtainable through massive psychological re-evaluation.i am freaking mad when i hear muslim clerics say those perpetrating this evil are not real muslims,they lack the basic understanding of Islam.when will they be made to understand Islam?the prophet(saw) said!the best amongst you is the one who learns Quran and teaches it'
reciting the quran without knowing and understanding what you are saying does not make you a shielk! Most muslims dont have reasonable reason why they are muslim,thereby falling prey to conversion.i have seen muslim gladiators displaying their unmatched and unequal knowledge on public forums,but how many of these enegies has been channeled to enlightened the teeming ignorant muslim population?i became a muslim when i understood what islam is all about.i had doubts but my doubts was cleared with refreshed knowledge of islam.Today i am convinced as a muslim,not because i was born into a muslim home but because i understand islam.i understand what Allah requires of ME.i am not perfect but trying to perfect my inperfections.i cannot be brainwashed to do anything contrary to what the quran stipulates.
This is because i am a convinced Muslim.If every muslim holds this conviction,practice islam according to the will of Allah,Islam will become most adorable.
So Dont get mad when you are being labeled a terrorist!because YOU and I(Muslims) can stop this evil.
Salam.
I think the problem is in the interpretation of Quran by some Muslim leaders, the problem is not just with Islam, Christians have the same problem as well, the religious leaders do not help the matter either, they are misleading followers who take seriously every word that comes out of their month.

Its hard to unlearned something you have been taught from a young age from pastors/imam, the chain of misleading/hateful preaching grows from generation to generation.
