Barteze: ➜Why was he there? Was he dragged into the mosque? I don't understand I thought he is a recalcitrant Muslim kid.
Visiting a mosque means one must be cajoled into bowing down to the Islamic god? Good to know! I am certain the parents of all those kids who bowed will warn other parents. 😒
Eniitankorede: ➜Anyone that refuses to bow to Allah his creator is an unbeliever. The fate of unbelievers will be decided by Allah on the day of judgment. Relying on a book written by humans as your guide is misguidance.
Not according to the Quran, which instead has Allah of Islamics prescribing they be reduced to Dhimmis or killed by Islamists. Allah literally has his believers as assassins in this life against non-believers. We know this from the acts of the Islamic prophet himself, the example to all Islamists. 😒
amancalledgodd: I refuse to believe devil is a bad person. Because im seeing stuff worse that that devil character in the bible. My simp dad is retired now, but before he retired, he built a shop his beloveth wife. But in my whole life ive not seen a woman who nags and dumb almost at the same time. How can someone who has a shop leave shop and went to be working in a bar abi na hotel. The husband too no fit talk anything. He just dey there dey do like mumu person. ➜ In our area people that have shop are less but this woman no fit still get sense sell something wey ho attract the people here. Na only nag and bring person down b her talent .
Did the woman ask for this shop from the husband? She may be more confident working as an employee for another business than running her own business at this point. What I don't understand is why you think that makes her evil or some sort of devil? 😒
2. If that is her talent, then get her a job working as someone who does that, not shove a business at her only to feign disappointment that she can't wing that. 😒
Exousiang01: ➜It is not possible for children to be taken out without prior notice from their parents. Even in Nigeria parents still get consent forms before children are taken on field trips or excision not to talk of the west. You can't take a child anywhere without the parents giving consent
. Consenting to have one's child visit a mosque with a friend is not the same as consenting to have the mosque then suggesting that the children also bow down to a god that has nothing to do with their reason for being there. 😒
If you consented to having your child visit a famous church or temple, for example, and that child came back to tell yoy that he was baptized and even given communion to eat, or maybe prayed to the gods at the temple, I bet you would not be sitting here arguing like a dingbat on this. 😒
AntiChristian: John 17:1-4 - When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the ONLY TRUE God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do Jesus said the father is the ONLY TRUE GOD! GOD in Christianity exist as God the father, son and Spirit. Does this mean that Jesus the son and holy Spirit are not the ONLY TRUE GOD hence false Gods?
One! All the others are part and parcel of the one true God. Again, as the verse in Genesis 1 vs 26-27 explains, the image of the one true God encompasses the image of all the others. 😒
pillager: ➜It's ironic that you started with accusations of "taqiyya" and dishonesty, then immediately made claims that are demonstrably false, you can do better than this, and next time, before accusing me of "taquiya" you have to bring evidence from the Quran and the sunnah that establishes whatever I said as a "taquiya" otherwise keep quiet. You said that no human being escapes judgment and punishment, and that even Muhammad (SAW) is expected to spend time in Hell. Where is your evidence for either claim? The Prophet (SAW) explicitly mentioned seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without reckoning and without punishment. So your statement that "no human being will escape judgment" is already false. You're also moving the goalposts. Your original argument was that Isa has godhood because he created. Now you've changed it to Allah created through Isa. Those are two completely different claims. If Allah creating through someone makes that person divine, then every prophet becomes divine. Allah split the sea through Musa. Allah brought forth the she-camel as a sign through Salih. Allah made the fire cool for Ibrahim. Allah healed people through Isa. In every case, the power belongs to Allah, not the prophet. And you're sneaking in another assumption: that Isa created from nothing. The verse doesn't even say that. It says he fashioned a bird from clay and it became a living bird by Allah's permission. The life came from Allah, not from Isa independently. In fact, what do you do with Ibrahim(AS)? Allah commanded him to take birds, cut them into pieces, place them on different hills, then call them, and they came back to him alive by Allah's permission, then by your logic Ibrahim would also have to share in divinity. As for Isa (AS) being raised, being raised by Allah is not a divine attribute. It is something Allah did for him. Receiving a favor from God does not make someone God. The Qur'an repeatedly calls him a servant, a messenger, and one sent by Allah. You're importing divinity into texts that are explicitly emphasizing his dependence on Allah. The irony is that every verse you're citing stresses Allah's power and Isa's (AS) dependence on Him: - He created the bird by Allah's permission. - He healed by Allah's permission. - He raised the dead by Allah's permission. - He was raised by Allah. None of those statements establish divinity. They establish the exact opposite. At this point, your argument boils down to: "If Allah performs extraordinary acts through someone, that person shares in godhood." But that conclusion doesn't follow from the verses, and if applied consistently, it would make multiple prophets, and even ordinary believers who enter Paradise without reckoning participants in godhood.
This is an example of arguing for the sake of it. 😒
If you are serious about this, I suggest you go back through the actual conversation where it started cause I no get strength to repeat anything I have made clear so far. https://www.nairaland.com/8675798/100-god-100-man
Smithwilliams826: He did the right thing. Dem no dey join family and business together. If you try am, you go cry.
The husband did well. I suggest that anyone who finds themselves in such a situation should not let sentiments cause them to lose out. It should not matter how many times two people are together. When a crime is involved, action should be taken to ensure the criminals never get away with the crime. 😒
pillager: ➜What kind of argument is this? The Qur'an explicitly says Isa created the bird by Allah's permission, not by independent power. If “doing something by Allah’s permission” makes someone divine , then every prophet who performed miracles would be divine too. ➜ Was Musa (AS) divine because Allah split the sea through him? Was Salih(AS) divine because Allah brought a she-camel from a rock as a sign for his people? Was Ibrahim (AS) divine because Allah made the fire cool and safe for him? ➜ As for Isa being raised, being raised by Allah is not a divine attribute either. And being saved from punishment simply means someone is righteous, not divine. Even there's an hadith that talks about a number of people going to paradise without reckoning, by that logic, every prophet who enters Paradise becomes a god, all the people who are admitted into paradise without reckoning are gods too, this is is so absurd. ➜ You’re taking actions that the verses explicitly attribute to Allah’s power and then attributing them independently to Isa. The verses do the exact opposite of what you’re claiming. Duuude, how can you even bring this as evidence? You’re arguing against the very verses you’re quoting.
E be like say either the Taquiya is strong with you or comprehension dey very far from you. 😒
Pay attention! It does not matter that the permission for the act came from Allah of Islam, as what is of importance here is that the creation was done through the acts of Isa of Islam. Allah of Islam used Isa of Islam, his spirit in human form, to carry out the act of creation. That says everything. 😒
2. Creation is not a miracle; it is essentially the bringing of a thing into existence from nothing. Allah said he alone had the capability of such. Musa of Islam's parting of the sea, on the other hand, is a miracle and does not compare to bringing life into existence. The sea existed, and so also the sea floor. The parting of the water so the people could walk on the sea floor was a miracle, not an act comparable to the act of creation itself. 😒
3. Now you are just lying! According to Allah in the Quran and Hadiths, no human being will escape judgment and Jahanam(even the Islamic prophet is expected to spend time in the Islamic Hell). However, Isa of Islam was able to escape judgment and Jahannam, placing him not among humans but among gods. 😒
4. Wrong! Allah of Islam himself attributed those things to Isa of Islam by his words. I am simply reiterating what your Quran and Hadiths clearly state. 😒
ComingKing: ➜Virginity is a biological phenomenon and has nothing to do religious view. Every female child or at least above 90% are born BIOLOGICALLY with hymen. To bring you back to the Topic, am not talking about the concept of Virginity here, but the course of getting the hymen out of the way.
OMOGOSH!!! I am actually conversing with a minor here... abeg, make I waka pass! 😒😒
MobilityMFR: Your allusion to the biblical figures you mentioned who refused to bow is a lil bit myopic, out of place and extremist. The biblical figures were coerced, this young man wasn't; I believe they went on an excursion, and parental consent was required and granted; the organised, I believe may have sensitized the group, parents too. This young man's behavior is uncalled for, and should be condemned. He should have stayed back with his parents instead of going to show such blatant and brazen disrespect at a place of worship. I condemn extremism. Imagine his age...we should be worried and weary of what we instil in our children.
Those children were coerced into bowing down to a deity that has nothing to do with their upbringing or national identity. If those had been Islamist children, then this wouldn't be a topic at all. But it is because they aren't. If I am not mistaken, those monsters may have also deceived them into saying the Shahada at some point, too. 😒
youdontknoe: ➜Thanks for the contributions. My story is not complete. I genuinely thought I opened this thread in diary section. I just wanted to pour out my heart. But maybe It’s best here. Just maybe. At least I will get a different perspective from people. Part 2. As I said we dated for 9 months. After the first 6 months, He proposed, I said yes. I met him in the church. And I was happy because after meeting different men over the years, he really was different. I wasn’t desperate. I just felt like after all the heartbreaks I have had and the disappointments, God was compensating me for making things faster. We were all in between cities. he got a new job in a different city and everything was happening so fast. I wasn’t ready to frolick. So intimacy or premarital sex was off the table. He respected that. I was attracted to him but he definitely loved me more and was attracted more. We did kiss a few times before marriage. I didn’t immerse myself in it but I noticed a smell. Ok. I just brushed it off as maybe bad day, stress, or inadequate dental hygiene. I’m a very sensitive person to smell especially. But I decided that it wasn’t going to be a deal breaker because it can be worked on. ➜ We got married. 5 days after the wedding he was back to his base in a different city. For context, I needed 2 flights of 2 hrs each to get to him. By road was impossible, maybe 24 hrs or more. We were starting out our lives and my family and a few others were concerned. That its not ideal that we live apart as newly married couples. But, I was understanding. He has been looking for that opportunity for a very long time. So I was like , we will make it work while he found an opportunity close to me. And there were also issues like visas and permit. We needed to be married so I could file for him. All those things needed time. But we had an end goal. Once the visa issues were over, we would be together. Yes, I earned more. Logically it made sense to let me retain my job in my location. I could not move to his location permanently because I was that would mean losing our biggest source of income. I was also hustling and picked up another job to fill my time. All good. I’ve always been a hustler. I bought my own place as a single lady and I had mortgage to pay. It was in a different location and rented out, so we actually got a new place to rent for us when we got married. He’s a very hardworking person. He believed in hard work and he would immerse himself in his work passionately. In the midst of our tight schedule we ended up juggling cities for over a year. I was burnt out. I didn’t feel married. Maybe that was where the problem started. Living apart is not Something I’d recommend. The first issue I noticed was the dental hygiene issues. He has a bad breath. No doubt. I recommended brushing at night, mouth wash, which he was very reluctant to try. Some days he would. Some other days he’d just say he is tired. When we were together , he’d try. I booked a dental to get him checked. Maybe it made a little difference. I begged him to book a check up. They identified gut issues that were treated. Didn’t totally fix the issue. I’ll be very honest here, intimacy started being a challenge. We always had to brush our teeth and freshen up before the action. He complained that it was mechanical and not spontaneous. I explained to him that we just had to do it because yea. ➜ There was also strong BO. He used perfumes for that so it wasn’t so bad. Honestly not even an issue. My thinking was that once we started living together, we would be more aligned. As a woman there are things you take care of without being fussy. Ok. ➜ Finances became an issue. I wanted us to be more accountable to each other because we were living apart. He wasn’t used to that. He had this strong ‘I’m a man’ ego and I respected that. He was spending on his family priorities and other things and would not say much about them. I wanted transparency but maybe cos I was earning more that affected him. I paid for my flights to visit him and Attimes paid for his. I was waiting and hoping for that phase to be over. We would argue over the phone and make peace. It’s ok. ➜ After about a year, he got his papers and his contract came to an end where he was working. So he moved down to be with me and I was really happy. My family was happy that at least, we would be together. I’ll come back with the other parts.
1. Issues with bad breath are usually easily resolved by way of regular dental visits every 6 months. Everyone is recommended to see a dentist at least every 6 months for regular cleaning(deep cleaning, if needed). Outside of that, daily brushing and flossing take care of the rest. 😒
2. Huh? 😒
3. BO? Una dey shower together? Does he scrub himself properly? Some folks don't know how to, unfortunately. 😒
4. Married man spending on his other family's priorities? 😒
eniolorunfe: Givers!!! If you know you’re naturally a giver or your default personality is to be a giver, always check for reciprocity in any relationship you find yourself. One sided relationships cannot last, no be curse! There is no way the giver will not eventually be drained, especially when you are surrounded by takers or a taker as it seems in this case. What happens most times is that because you have or you love to give, you’re likely to attract mostly takers and, because that is “you” , you wouldn’t mind but last last e dey cast!!! From the little I have read, the man seems to be mostly a taker. You did papers/visa, you’re bringing in more money even paying bills including his at times etc etc. You need to rethink this your decision especially if you don’t have kids yet, because I doubt if he will change; na to dey manage am o. Givers form alliances with Givers!!! Be intentional about this, if you no wan cry last last. Leave takers alone to drain each other 😂🤣
rickpat: From your story..I feel you had very high expectations going into the union,dont get me wrong every "next level" in life should come with expectations but not very high expectations,one step at a time should be better... Secondly,your husband shouldn't have said you guys will have a big wedding party later on when he knows its not going to happen or under probability, knowing fully well how you love to have a glamour wedding...a man that can't keep his word,would be seen in a certain way... Thirdly,for you to make.sacrifices means you love the man and you should focus on that, reduce expectations and let the sacrifices you made to be with him, forever be a sacrifice(let go of the things he promised and can't/ not giving at the moment. ➜ Finally,this is your part,what about your husband's part of the story,how he feels,what he wants,how he sees you,the sacrifices he has made as well? In marriage no matter how beautiful, you must make sacrifices, even if it's as little as "switching off" the light to sleep when all your life you sleep with the light switched on....Compromise is the key...no perfect person,no perfect marriage... Wish you the best
. Have you ever had to lower your expectations while remaining tied to the very person who knowingly deprived you of all that you dreamed of? Have you ever sacrificed so much to one person only to have it thrown in your face that you are not worthy of equal or comparable levels of sacrifice in return? I wouldn't even wish such a thing on my worst enemy. 😒
2. Compromise only works when both parties are doing it on comparable grounds. When one party is doing all the compromising and the supposed sacrifice while the other does only what he can or wants, when he wants, there is not a valued marriage but a relationship of convenience. 😒
EmperorIsaac: Let them make you keep producing children; you are the one that will suffer to train the producer and the produced...and when you are old and can no longer provide, the producer will go stay with the produced. Men must receive sense by force!
This woman is right! According to Islam, a woman's money belongs to her. So the woman is right in determining that in her Islamic marriage, her money should belong to her. Unfortunately for her, the arrangement also determines that since she is her husband's property in marriage, he can decide whether she can work during the marriage or not. 😒
For non-Islamic marriages, however, these rules do not apply at all. 😒
Kushites: ✓ ''As prescribed by religion''? Who told you that ''RELIGION'' prescribed ONENESS? It is the accounts of NDEs that EXPOSE it. Religions 'prescribe' separation and exclusivity, particularly Abrahamic religions. USE YOUR BRAIN. Of course there is a tiny minority of christians and muslims in those places. THE POINT IS that the overwhelming majority of people there have no exposure to Christianity, and so NO RELIGION is ''the only truth'' since no religion is equally accessible to all humans. God cannot insist that one religion is the ''only truth'', AND BASE 'SALVATION' on 'acceptance' of that truth, if that religion is not equally accessible and known to ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU ARE ''AGAINST''. Only narcissistic, toxic cowards shout what they are 'against' (in order to feel superior to others) but never say what they are 'for' (to avoid challenge and interrogation). TELL US WHAT YOU ARE FOR, ON ANYTHING. What do you BELIEVE about anything? Including what happens at death, and what is your PROOF for that belief?
Stop spewing religious gobbledegook at me already if you have nothing sensible to provide. 🥱
ComingKing: ✓ What do mean by Islamist? This topic has nothing to do with religion
The concept of virginity comes squarely from the domain of religion/traditions. If you are going to have us believe next that you don't also know this at this point, then I would need to hope I am not here conversing with a minor. 🥱
That's because you are letting it get to you rather than handling it the same way you have for the longest time. "No!" still means "No". 😒
Whatever you do, don't let even your parents bully you into doing something that you do is against your interests. Yes, African parents love to believe all of their advice comes from a place of desire to see their children progress. The reality, however, is that so many of them are instead in it for the sake of societal validation and, of course, their egos. Know that you alone will have to bear the consequences for every decision you make. Therefore, choose wisely what you will allow or not allow. 😒
Jmichael1: I don't know what else to tell my mum just to let her understand that I get bored wen ever I'm around crowd of people and I'm an introvert.. My mum is that kind of person that believes in "I do for you,you do for me.... I'm currently 26yrs,and all my life, I've been to just 1 burial and just 1 marriage. Despite the fact I lived alone,my mum always call me wen ever there's occasion either in the village or in the neighborhood were I grew up here in yenagoa.. She don't want me to miss any occasion along I heard about it.....she will always say"Michael...my son,no forget say nah u be 1st pikin,na people wen u do for today,go do for u wen ur turn reach,dey try attend people party ooooh I don't know what else to do oooh,I'm not into party or occasion lifestyle.. My phone has been switched off since on Thursday,bcuz I heard of burial of sum1 I knew,and I know she must call me to attend the burial and I'm not ready to go... To cut the long story short,plz my fellow nairalanders,Wat will u do in dis situation if u were in my shoes.
You are 26, yet only 1 wedding and only one burial? You have done well so far in probably saying no to her so far. Why are you getting all worked up for now? 🥱
ComingKing: ✓ Since you are a lady, maybe you can share your knowledge . The random video you share has incomplete information.
Are you an Islamist? I ask because it generally makes no sense that someone who is not would choose this level of ignorance in 2026 on a matter that is so simple. 🥱🥱
ComingKing: ➜To be honest, everything I heard or read about the wedding night was either inaccurate or lacking real detail. All the talk about pre-intimacy and types of lubricant just isn’t enough. From my own experience, I realized that most intending couples simply don’t have enough reliable information about this. I used to think the hymen was just a soft, flexible membrane that could be pierced with a little push. Well, I learned that the hard way. Two weeks after our wedding, my wife was still a virgin. Despite all the pre-intimacy (like babying sitting an adult) and lubrication (like a locomotive train), I felt like I was wearing a learner’s tag around my neck. But in the end—we’ll all be alright.
You only read what you wanted to read as you remain absolutely clueless still. A short video on YouTube would have easily filled you in on the Virginity myth.😒
Are you by any chance an Islamist? I ask because Islamic women have, for centuries, used a trick to fake the blood on the wedding night thing. Maybe you should have looked it up for your wife before the wedding night. Unfortunately, the process is painful and possibly dangerous for many such women who use it. 😒
Nowayback10: This scratch happend on my laps while i was sitted on a couch and pressing my phone. I promise you there was no contact was so ever. It just happend mysteriouly .
I hear you. Then it is likely Dermatographia.
Dermatographia (also known as "skin writing" is a harmless, non-contagious skin condition where lightly scratching or rubbing the skin causes raised, red welts (wheals) to appear. It occurs because the skin's cells are overly sensitive to minor pressure
Comparing the widge and the separation between the lines in the scratch on the doorway and your hands, they are probably not made with the same object, or at least the spread from the center for each does not seem to have been made exactly from the same angle. 😒
That scratch does not look anything like fingernails. And judging by the scratch, it does not seem like it came from an object with 4 sharp ends, but rather blunt edges. Is that the side of the door where the hinges go? 😒
escortafrik: There is an issue causing tension in my home and I need your input please So I just had a baby here in the UK and it hasn’t been easy for me, while my husband has been very supportive, it has been limited because he goes to work and is usually exhausted when he comes back. Because childcare is very expensive, I suggested inviting my mum to stay with us for support during this early stage. But my husband disagreed and suggested his mum should come instead.Now the issue is that his mum is much older and recently had a stroke. She is still recovering and not very strong, so I’m worried she may not be able to cope with the demands of caring for a newborn. I pointed all these to him and he took offence immediately! He said I’m talking down on his mom and sincerely that hurt because I love her like my own mom but I don’t just want the purpose of her coming to be for nothing and not only that come and add to my own burden Now we have not been able to agree on a solution. I don’t want this to cause problems in our marriage, but I also want what’s best for my baby and the situation we are in right now. Please what would you do if you were in my position
? Your husband wishes to burden a woman who recently had a stroke with a baby? Is he alright at all? 😒
Anyways, I take it that you and your husband work, and that is the particular reason why you feel a third-party is needed in this. If not, I suggest you both come together to figure out how to take care of your own baby by yourselves. That old practice of using parents is disgusting at best.
That said, if you must use someone, then invite both mothers and have them take turns caring for the baby. I would not recommend stressing a recent stroke sufferer with a baby at all. She can handle the baby when able to, but the other mother should be on hand to hand the child on a full-time basis. Let it be a shared experience for both women. 😒
Doveheart: ✓ Just listen to yourself. I should ask her?? I hope you eaten today sa .If you don't have the courtesy of responding to someone's question on a platform like this in a more civilized and respectable way, then I will advise you keep mute and don't discourage other audience from giving out their own opinion about the subject matter.
I see now that you are a very unserious individual. You don't want to ask the person, but would rather ask complete strangers who are totally removed from the situation. 🥱
