@the bolded, we all know that is a lie and that’s hasty generalization, how many times have you seen a southern Muslim blow themselves up? How many cases of underage marriages have you witnessed in the south from the Muslims? How exactly do the south celebrate Dan fodio, who is Dan fodio by the way to be celebrated? This is not much of a religion issue but cultural issue which always reflect in religious practice.

You just gotta separate the north from the south when you’re trying to analyze religion. Most of you guys don’t know islam got to Yorubaland through the Malians through trade, that was why it is called Esin Imale ( religion of the malians) by our fore fathers.

You should try to differentiate some of the people of the north that are very toxic and radical in their practice of Islam from the southerners that would rather live in peace with their Christian neighbors.

Dan Fodio is not a celebrated figure among the southern Muslims or where are you getting your report from?

I don’t know what he meant by calling me Kafir, who is Kafir between me and him? Do we have to take up arms to show we practice religion or have to slain my fellow countrymen to show I’m Godly?

I usually feel sorry for the north, coz I can’t imagine what the peaceful ones among them are facing every single day they breathe on earth. The earlier we know it’s more of ethnic issue than religion the Better for us.

Patrioticman007:
then a sensible person had to disassociate with a cruel brother and choose his own Islam.

First of all there is only one Islam. Any other is a counterfeit. You can't create your own Islam like the Christianity that has many versions of the Bible that are contradicting each other.
Its true some Muslims do bring in their cultural heritage into practice of Islam, but as a fact, its not Islam.

YorubaHero12:
I won’t engage you in trying to drag Islam to the argument.

There is no tribalism in Islam, but when a brother keep projecting Islam in a bad light, then a sensible person had to disassociate with a cruel brother and choose his own Islam.

Is it only the north? You are intolerant, practicing the religion in a cruel way, no tolerance, Boko haram ideology, now Fulani herdsmen, shite wahala, Almajiri.

Why can’t the northern elders wade into the situation, why do they remain mute to all this happening, why must it be the north 70% of the time?

Patrioticman007:
A KAFIR will always be a KAFIR irrespective of his camouflage. An infidel spotted, claiming to be a Muslim.
There is no tribalism in Islam.
We know those that Rape little Boys in the Church.
We know those that Coza their Virgins at home.
We know those that sell miracles to the highest bidder.

Personal Opinion!

African leaders on Sunday voted to choose Ghana as the new headquarters to House the new Africa free trade zone. Coming with the new trade zone is a new airline hub for Africa to be built in Ghana.

14 years ago Donald Duke had initiated discussions on the need for an airline hub to serve Africa to be situated in calabar. Unfortunately the dream died with Tinapa.

It is important that Africa has its own hub, but unfortunately our political leadership just do not understand how these things work, so they never take it serious. From Nigeria, to travel to most African countries within Africa, you have to first travel either to Frankfurt or Amsterdam before you can connect to headquarters of most African countries. CGI will be financing an airlines hub in Ghana following the situating of the Africa free trade zone in Ghana.

Under the Addis Ababa-based African Union’s rules, all of its 55 members may bid to host the headquarters. Kenya, Ghana, eSwatini, Madagascar and Egypt where all in the race. Ethiopia and Senegal pulled out. On Sunday Ghana emerged. Almighty Nigeria was not even mentioned or considered.

This is what a good visionary leadership brings to its people. Ghana political leadership since Rawlings has stabilized. Ghanaians understand the importance of electing very educated people to lead their country.

Take for example, United Nations headquarters is in New York, it couldn’t be in Togo or Venezuela because America provides world leadership, naturally America had to house the UN, that’s how it works.

Second , America provides the bulk of UN funding, so traditionally they have to house the UN, the same argument goes as to why America houses the World Trade Center and the world bank.

Now, Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, we finance and fund Ecowas and makes a significant commitment and contribution to African Union. Housing the headquarters of the African free trade zone should not even be in contention, it should naturally come to us, but when our leaders seem not to understand the value we hold in global affairs new comers poke their hands in our eyes.

To be factual, but we need a leadership and a team of advisers that knows what to do and how the international system works if Nigeria must rise again.

Gradually Nigeria has lost her birthright, lost her big brother status. If not, how do you explain the fact that the African free trade zone headquarters is not in Lagos or Abuja rather it is going to Ghana and Africa airlines hub is also going to Ghana?

The was a time all of Africa quakes when Nigeria roars, what has happened to the giant of Africa? Gradually the giant of Africa has lost its seniority in the committee of nations to little Ghana, a country with a population a little above cross river state. Ghana is what it is today because of investments from Nigeria. If all Nigerian investments are withdrawn from Ghana, their entire economy may not compete with that of Eti ~OSA local government of Lagos state.

See what good leadership has turned Ghana to. It has become a place we send our kids to attend good schools because our school system has lost it.

This all started when we refused to welcome black Americans who wanted to relocate to Nigeria and help develope an African country. Our Senate turned down the offer, Ghana opened her doors, gave 250 black Americans automatic Ghanaian citizenship. The positive PR that gesture has given Ghana among the worlds nations is enormous.

Virtually all African countries signed the free trade zone pact over a year ago, Nigeria and South Africa initially abstained. Now that Nigeria decided to join, given the fact that virtually all of Africa needs Nigeria more than we need them given the size of our economy and access to raw materials whose movement tariff free within Africa would boost other economies, why didn’t Nigeria insist on Housing the free trade zones headquarters as a prerequisite for joining the zone? Our leaders just cannot see the future.

Last week South Africa became the 65th country offering visa free entry to holders of Ghanaian passports. Leadership is all about Capacity and vision, it is obvious Ghana is getting it right.

Nigeria has everything required to lead Africa. We have the intellectuals, we have the wealth, we have great men with vision, but focused and visionary leadership has remained a challenge since independence. Ethnicity, religion, zoning and primitive partisanship has continued to hold us back. We pray our children in their own generation wakes up the sleeping giant. Africa shall rise again.

MURIC, Muslim Rights Concern,has petition President Buhari to immediately shut down the airing of the 2019 edition of the Big Brother reality tv show.

The Muslim group in a press statement issued by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, labeled the reality show as ‘immoral, dangerous and Bohemian’ and also wondered why the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency are on sabbatical over the show. They backed up their claims with some verses from the Quran saying Qur’an 30:41 says, ‘Evil has appeared on both land and sea as a result of the handiworks of men.

They also condemned the quest for wealth by the youths, which according to them has led to immorality, yahoo-yahoo, ritual killings and a museum mentality for the collection of female panties.

The statement reads;

“We are being forcibly dragged to a world of nudity, shamelessness and open promiscuity. Inmates of BBNaija kiss,.....https://janefblog.com/6976-2muric-petitions-buhari-to-shut-down-2019-bbnaija-reality-show-immediately/

Nobody's defenditoe supporting rape here. It's foolish for one to be sinner forever. The pastor may be guilty of the rape and he may also be a changed man today.

I don't believe this DNA story but if it turns out to be true, ahhhh,nobody will believe her rape story again.
If you have 3 kids and DNA later proves you ain't their dadda,a bet ur arsse you will blame it on some guy that disvirgened her after she must've spent years with you!!

Former Nollywood actress, Steph-Nora Okeke has become the first celebrity to find the rape allegation leveled against COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, by Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola Dakolo, as shady.

In a post she shared on social media, Steph-Nora Okeke wondered how a lady who claimed to have been raped multiple times was still very close to the alleged perpetrator for many years.

She shared on Facebook:



She also spoke on how she exited Nollywood because of a near rape incident.



She concluded by stating that she feels the rape allegation against the COZA pastor is being used by Busola Dakolo as a cover up for something.

Time dakolo, his wife and all the yeye celebrities that condemning fatoyinbo are mad.
U stay in one corner for over 14 years u didn't say sh*t, how can someone without a gun r*pe busola home and away?
Just imagine, person come your house, u wear only night gown open door knowing fully well no one is home, why not simply tell him through the window the people he's looking for weren't around and go put up something?
U still went to his house, take u to car bumper and romp u in doggy and u call it rape?
Kwara state law says 16 years is the official year for consenting and u said u were 17 shey?
The lady still remain in the church for over 2 years and still lead in the choir haba.
If u are raped, the first thing to do is to tell your parents, your parents should take u to a doctor for examination and a medical report written, then to police or dss for arrest and possibly persecution....
What's paining me is the lie that just a tap to the mouth to keep quite and she fell on the couch to be disvirgin as if it's a small thing...



My problem with most youth is that they don't think critically, that's why they are swindled by God of men and politician. A 17year old is not a kid, most 17year old are in 100lvl in the university.

Someone said the reason He believed her is because she has no reason to lie...hehehe.

Protest over allegation? He should arrest most of them and make huge money from this case please.

LilMissFavvy:
Yes, you are correct about this ''all for one, one for all is used by cultists''. The truth people don't know is that every single girl has faced several temptations from married men, including pastors. With God, a lady can overcome the temptation. The girl is silly to allow a pastor kiss her on the cheek or hug her.

lovemoi2:
Why are these people pastors Dont they have something else to do... why Church?

My friend was ràped by a pastor so i am not supprised

My problem is why are they disguising as pastors
