As if those celebrating Maolud didn't do any program exept money making only .
Most of you condemning Maolud Nabiyy only listen to what your leaders told you, Find a time to attend one, listen to the lecture and see yourself.
"You said they should go and find Job" hmmmmm
Maolud is once in a year, your beleive is, the money they generate is what they spend for the next year ?

We attend lectures, Khuthbahs, Halaqahs etc... We don't need a birthday ascribed to the Prophet to gather to discuss the Deen. Yes I've attended a few, before I knew better, and I can tell you what they say isn't different from what you'd get from a nice lecture on the seeroh. Also I've seen how they drag these events long into the evening(demanding money of course), delaying Solat. Would the Nabiyy give a glowing commendation for a so called event that made people not pray on time?

No one ever says we have only two celebrations except you
What is said is two Eid. Not celebrations

Allah was the one who made MAULID. The Prophet celebrated it.

If you don't read you will dwell in ignorance

Allah made Mawlid? Prove it if you're being truthful.

No one ever says we have only two celebrations except you
What is said is two Eid. Not celebrations

Shall we ask googu then?

PS: Eid means celebration/festival in Arabic. YOU should go and do some readings and don't let hungry Alufas push you into bid'ah. Imo lo ladini

Makapounse:

How celebrating Maolu Nabiy suppose to be sin before Allah ? According to how most Teblig & co view it . When we (Muslims) all known that even Almighty Allah ( The Majesty) did what He never do to any of His creature but only prophet Muhammad.
If you don't hate Prophet Muhammad, you won't castigate those celebrating him in whatever form.
So far we didn't worship him as Allah. There is nothing too much to celebrate him.
Once again. Stop taking drugs on someone's headache !

We send blessings and salutaions upon him at every Solat. The constant chanting of Salawat no reach una. No, you have do a lenghty money making program to prove your love for Rasulullah. Tell your ALufas to get proper jobs and stop using our Blessed Prophet(Saw) as a money making venture.

[quote author=Gentlevip post=117143711][/quote]

We have been granted two major Days of celebrations. E never do una. Do you love Rasulullah more than Allah 'aaza wa jaal? More than Abubakar, Umar, Uthman and the other Sahabah? DId any of the above mentioned celebrate his birthday? Wetin come be una own bayii. It's an avenue for hungry Alufas to make money off una. Awon alatenuje.

Do you have his birth certificate to prove it then? Maybe you don't know that Arabs in the time of the Rasulullah was born didn't keep date records, no such things as calenders at the time. No one knows for certain when exactly he was born. ALll we knw was that he was born in the year of the Elephant. The so-called scholars you're referring to were not there when he was born, how can we then ascertain that he was birn in Rabbiul awwal. All na speculation. As at the time of his death, they had started to develop as a nation and there were ptoper date records. That's why no one can dispute his date of death.

You call yourself a good Muslim, but go around accusing others of hating Habeebullah. You should go and read the Qur'an about false accusations. Be prepared to defend your claims before Allah on yawmul qiyaamah.

Makapounse:
Thanks Mr Copy and paste. Let me be doing my Bidiah, why are you taking medicine on someone's headache. You guys always cause arguments unnecessarily in Islam. Your hatred toward Prophet Muhammad will take you guys to somewhere you don't expect..

How does not celebrating mawlid Nabiyy translate to hating the Prophet(S.a.w)? Have you ever stopped to consider how celebrating this bid'ah would be presented on yawmul qiyaamah? Would Allah punish you for not celebrating it? Absolutely not!

PS: no one knows for certain what month the Nabiyy(saw) was born, only his death was recorded to have occured on Rabbi'ul awwal. Are you people then celebrating his death?

adeoyekay:
That is not an excuse

How is it not an excuse? How is it their fault they never heard of Jesus? Will your god toss them into hellfire for not knowing about a doctrine?

Sixfiguresmart:
no other religion can even smell the sky let alone heaven.

surah 56:66 We have been penalized. They are punishing their god and expect him to open the door to where?

And you expect to make heaven with this hideous lie? Smh. Christian's are the most deluded people I've ever seen. Take Jesus as your Lord and saviour Kwa? Who talk that kain thing? Jesus or God (Sebi they're both the same )

Continue to believe in man- made concoctions telling you to call a human being your God and saviour. É go soon cast for una eyes.

Hello please did you get your visa?

Yes, finally received our passports this afternoon. 3 months tourist visas issued. Finally! The thing don tire me sef

shigo04:


Did you apply for tourist visa as well?

Yes.

Hiikayauto:
tourist visa application I summited in abuja since march 28.. I got a message today (5 months) after that my application is ready for collection. my travel date already passed.. I wont be surprised if I got denied. at least make I collect my passport back.

Same here. Applied since 4th APril, finally fot the mail that our visas have finally been released today! 4 and a half months later! Our passports would be expiring y january, they might use that as a basis for rejection . Hoping to know our fate when the passports arrive o.

After this experience, wetin I dey go find for useless country.

Blurpy:
3 months visa granted at Abuja!

When did you apply? I also applied in Abuja with my family since early April. No word on it till now.

English 4*400 squad disqualified after coming first . Lane infringement by the during baton exchange.

Hiikayauto:
This stuff is really getting annoying... I first submitted my tourist visa application on the 28th of feb and got denial for the reason that I didn't tell them my source of income because I had huge inflow of about 150m n a closing balance of 5m. on that application I stated that I was a businessman and I submitted my business CAC doc. maybe because I have didn't tell them that I was running my business with my personal account. mind you, my uncle is a citizen and he sent me invitation letter, with a police stamped copy of his ID. We bear same surname. yet I got denial. I received my passport back March 26th. I arranged my documents again and stated that I was running my business with my personal account because my corporate acct got issues. I also attached another invitation letter from my uncle with police stamp. I resubmit in abuja again on the 30th of march, that's 4days after they returned my passport. till today my application its till under assessment. like, today made it 4months with my Passport, my travel date on the application was 25th of June. so like this travel date done pass.. for just South Africa. and I am not a first time traveler. I was in SA 2018, I have been to Dubai 3 times since I came back from SA. Please why will this ppl hold someone passport for that long. na see finish they cause all this rubbish.

It's so disheartening. It's almost as if these people are trying to confiscate as many Nigerian passports as possible. Why would they open their Lagos and pH offices when they haven't sorted out the hundreds of applications since early this year. I submitted tourist visa for a family of 5 on the 3rd of April, travel date was mid May. Till today, no response, mails unreplied. Now our passports have almost expired, we had to renew them in the event that the visas are released. Had it not been that we had purchased the flight tickets since before covid era, I would have totally cancelled the plans.

Princessayot:
Thanks for the feedback.

I have a trip 1st week in December.

Is it okay to apply now?

I really can't tell. they have been incredibly slow in processing visas. You can try the evisa fir now and hope they respond on time.

Princessayot:
Please is this student visa or visitors visa?

What's the current timeline for visitors visa please for those that have submitted and received their passports.

Tourist visa. It's been almost 4 months since we applied at VFS Abuja, no response from them till now. No one can accurately predict a timeline for visa approval. Only God knows what's going on over there.

Hello house. Any new updates? It has been almost 4 months since my application o. Has anyone received theirs?

Folarge06:
Lagos and Port Harcourt Submission Centers are opening soon.

They're opening up more visa centers, the thosands of pending applications are still there o. I hope this development means those of us that applied since early April and even before can finally get our visas.

Folarge06:
Yes I guess these people has internal problem with there Department of Home Affairs...They also have problem with issuing of permits as well...
Mine took almost 2 months...5 days less..
But I'm in South Africa presently.

I went to the DHA's facebook page. So many complaints from even thier citizens about how incompetent their workers were, always asking for bribes, closes very early and claiming the system is down. Complaints about havint to wait for months for passport renwals. When I saw the level of complaints from their own people, omo, I just sighed heavily. If they're putting their very throught this kain wahala, why should they care about the rest of us

Folarge06:
They still issue...if it's for tourism or business just go for e visa...it's stress free..And at the port of entry your biometric will be taken.

I tried applying for the evisa aroung March ending, the site was malfunctioning and it eventually rejected the application. We had to go to VFS in Abuja for the application early April. Almost 4 months later, nothing at all. How can you hold on to people's passports for months on end? This is so annoying. Had it not been that we had boughts the tickets for the family of 5 back in 2020 ehn

limosodiq:
Study visa takes 4 to 6 months, Zero your mind.

What of tourists visa? We've applies since 4th of April. Imagine this kind of nonsense for a 6 day travel tourism . I don tire!

Is it possible to cancel or reroute a purchased ticket? I'm sick and tired of this ineptitude from them.

It's looking like Fayemi will also step down for Jagaban. Na wa o.

Vipro:
God Almighty, as we missed Yar'Adua during Jonathan regime and missing Jonathan during Buhari's regime. May we not see anything that will make us miss Buhari.

Ameen!!!

NightWolff:
Please can anyone tell me how much it would cost to get a visit visa and flight ticket, and also how much is needed for pof and every other needed document??
Please it's really urgent

If you're going as a tourist, then I'd advice you look elsewhere biko, except you're ready to wait tirelessly. Read through the thread and see the way they've wickedly held on to people's visas for upwards of 3 months! Useless bunch of Mofos.

Another frustrated Nigerian can't take it no more

Really unfortunate what they're putting our people through. I think its high time we reported this to rlevant travel/tourism regulatory bodies. We should also flood their social media handles with complaints. How can you hold on to people's passports for months and not respond to mails? Useless and unprofessional group of people

Olusegunz:


You paid? And it was rejected? When did you apply? And how many weeks did it take before you got the rejection outcome

It got rejected at the first stage, I hadn't gotten to the payment part yet, thank God for that.

Congratulations to those who were able to get it done online. I hope their DHA looks into this ridiculous delay in processing an ordinary tourist visa. This doesn't speak well of them at all.

pufframmy:
wow u mean all the 5 people got refused??

One principal applicant registers for the rest. I used my passport number as the princiapl account and applied twice. Both got rejected.

Folarge06:
It has been functional since March.

I don't think work had been fully completed on the site as at last month when I applied for 5 people. The dates kept getting messed up, page kept timing out, then we were declined for a silly reason . Maybe people should still stick with barawo VFS for a while till DHA figures thier sh*t out.

Olusegunz:


425 rands

SA Visa actually costs about 7k. VFS charges, 25k. Daylight robbery

YoungPrince4760:
Finally!!!

Great news. They should have let us know it wasn't fully functional last month when we were spending hours online trying to apply
