Daniel will have no choice but to go beg Amosun at this juncture before he moves into political obscurity. OBJ tsunami is sweeping OGD and his gang, i think the future is bright for Amosun in this election.

Tunji Olurin like OGD said cannot win his local govt and OBJ is relying on rigging which might be impossible in Ogun state in the next election.

Jarus:
Ciroma and MPLF are featherweights. They cannot get Buhari 1000 votes. The same people that cannot deliver the North, or even their homestates, for Atiku.

They are just noise makers who are spent forces in terms of politics. They are not genuinly interested in what is best for the country but who will serve their interest the most. Funny they said how many people could bakare control when they themselves cannot gather votes. I dont know of any election in which Ciroma has won before apart from being a bootlicker for many presidents and serving in their cabinets.

In 1992 ciroma contested for prseident under the then NRC and had a good fight with Shinkafi in those days before IBB cancelled the whole thing. Ciroma, like i said and i could be wrong has never one a real election before.

Abachas son has the right to conetest any election in Nigeria, it is up to the people to either vote for him or not. Abacha was a terrible military dictator but he was not isolated in his terror some of the players in his time are still active on the current scene. Most of the SW politicians are putting their chilren in places of power like Osoba, Alani Bankole, Tinubu, Adebayo, Akinjide, Adedibu,Saraki,Obasanjo and many more.

The trend is a shame but we as nigerians have a duty to put a stop to the atrocities of these terrible politicians. How we do it is the multi million dollar question

chamber2:
Stop all this rubbish you are saying,which religion is more intolerant in the world?Is it not your Islam that is causing all the problems and you are here ranting rubbish.

Buddie, calm down or chill out , maybe you could grab a cold drink and then reflect on your statement again perhaps you might have a second thought about how establishing a bank affects you in person. You have the choice of putting your money there or not, which makes me wonder if the definition of tolerance is the same as what we both understand.

Your posts itself is a perfect example of how intolerant we can be, you do not have to agree with my post but calling someone else statement rubbish because you disagree with it, is INTOLERANCE in its maximum manifestation.

udezue:
This is how it starts. From Sharia to Islamic Banking to Islamic Republic of Nigeria. Haha

eku_bear:
If they simply called it 'no interest banking', there would be no wahala.

Sometimes these guys are not good at branding things, lol

SapeleGuy:
Bros
This is not a new idea. Our laws already have provisions for these type of 'No Interest' arrangements. Why not use them. Our law does not allow any shariah, islamic, juju or pentecostal bank. All some of us are saying is respect our constitution and laws. Nigeria is a secular state.

I guess The ISLAMIC BANK OF BRITAIN should be changed because it UK is a Christian society with HM been the head of the church of England.

The sooner we shed our bigotry the better for us as Nigerians, till we learn to tolerate ourselves and appreciate our diversity we would always remain in the schackles of under development.

ayusman16:
Yeah! You profile picture says alot about your new found religion?

Wish you luck!

Its always better to keep silent if one does not have anything good to say. That was an advice given by the prophet of islam PBUH.

nwabobo:
"O Allah destroy Sule Lamido and the rest of his friends, O Allah disgrace Sule Lamido and the rest of his cursed friends, O Allah curse Sule Lamido and the rest of his cursed friends, O Allah expose Sule Lamido and the rest of his cursed friends, O Allah inflict poverty on Sule Lamido and the rest of his cursed friends Amen and all those for prophet Muhammad (SAW) say Amen.”

Much has been said about the young man who wrote the text above on facebook and his travails in the hands of Sule Lamido. Much as I'm not holding brief for Sule Lamido, a cursory look at the content of the text above shows that the choice of words is too extreme coming from a young Islamic follower.

This guy seems to be a terrorist in the making. Today, he is abusing Sule Lamido verbally, tomorrow he might decide to strap some explosives on his body and blow himself up with anybody.

What do you think?

Do you understand the definition of a terrorist? The man cursed LAmido the same way IBB is cursed everyday by Nigerians and the same way OBJ is cursed by Nigerians. What has terrorism got to do with this.

Please let us stop misusing words and sensationalising news that shouldnt be.

appletango:
beaf, do you have a proper job or are you just fanatical?

The way Beaf defends the GEJ cause on NL leaves me with opinion that he is either paid to do this or has personal interest in a GEJ presidency. He is here 24 hrs and never gets tired which makes me wonder if he has a day job or even a night job. If he is a student at least he still needs to study and not here defending GEJ 24/7.

rasputinn:
Whether he said it 11 years ago or 110 years ago,has he made a volte face from that position?If you say yes,post the link cos I must have missed it

Have you seen a video or tape recording of this alleged statement? Buhari has deined it several times,he wrote a letter to all the bishops but people appear to only read what they want to hear. The reporter was a yoruba guy who doesnt speak hausa, the reporter was also not in Sokot when Buhari made that statement which all translates into falsheood.

A bigot would not pick a pastor as his running mate, It only takes a man with tremendous self confidence to do what he has done. Buhari Bakare ticket has my vote as against celeberated thieves GEJ and Sambo.

FayeZik:
Congratulations Lagosboy, keep up d good work. Rabi sihdina ilma. To those of u who keep this section alive, may Allah 's love & mercy always be with u. Ilali amam, insha Allah

Aunty . . Ameen o . Eku oko meta o, I hope everything is well and good.

Poster,

Why not show some intelligence and stop repeating the old jargon that was posted by Beaf couple of weeks back. This alleged statement was in 2000, 11 years ago and you make it seem to be yesterday and moreso without any link. Buhari needs to make the holy ghost his deputy for peoplel like you to stop calling him a bigot.

Oga why you put children, she tell you say na twins?

I dey hope say them be twins nah, na double twins be dat o which means double blessings for IFy´s family !

They would have my vote, Nigeria needs God fearing men to rule the country. Buhari we all accept is upright, Bakare is a pastor who has been vocal and shown uprightness in his criticism of the status quo.  They should have my vote, ACN should go bury their head in shame for not been able to compromise and unite the opposition.

My only fear is that , it is only an alliance that could win this election from PDP.

Off hand,Fa is my last-stop
Im expecting soonest and it kind of makes me dull

Mashallah May Allah make them pious children, benefit them with islam and make them a benefit to the muslims. May they arrive in peace and mother plus father in peace as well.

GEJ is Mr Follow follow but according to FELA he has to open eyes and sense if he has to follow. Protest is not war and GEJ should know that if he riggs the comming election. The same fate awaits him and he might have run away to Yenegoa or better still go work in jos Zoo

goksonjay:
everyone will now be able to understand that what SLS is doing now are all d brainchild of CCS.

Please SLS is the real deal, saying it is CCS´s brainchild is an after thought. I do respect Soludo but his romance with the CEOs was very bad for Nigeria. SLS is on a class of his own please dont compare both of them.

Aganga on the other hand is as clueless as his dumb boss GEJ. Comming from Goldman sachs is totally different from running Nigerias finance. SLS is da bomb!

I have personally met Yvonne and held discussion with her at length. She was kidnapped by the Taliban which is a reason for her not to become Muslim but she did not become Muslim while in captivity but many months later when she arrived in the UK after reading the quran.

About lauryn please hymen never judge people like that as it is only Allah that knows the intention of everyone. Bankrupcy and conversion don't have any links and she does not have to be Muslim to get oil sheikh to give her a penny.

Anyway let's leave all these people and focus on ourselves, more importantly the few issues holding you back from the shahada.

hymen:
Which 'evil one' ?


Are u saying all non-muslims worship the devil

He quoted a verse of the Quran and the verse applies to Muslim as well if not mainly Muslims. So relax as he isn't saying all non muslms are evil people. The verse actually translates as "enter into Islam wholeheartedly and avoid the ways of the shaiytan for he is an open enemy to you". The verse is very useful when it comes to Muslims worshiping ifa by deifying orunmila and when their attention is brought to it rather thanbe humble and ask questions they become arrogant and go on the offensive.

Hymen, you really need to look into liberal women in west turning heir backs on liberalism and acceptin Islam. I live in the west and I have come into contact with many of them. 90% of them is never due to marriage and there are loads of them in London looking for muslim husbands. The common denominator is they all find truth in islam and they revert when they can no longer decieve themselves or supress the truth that has entered their heart subconsciously.

A good example would lauryn booth, Cheryl Blair sister, another one is Yvonne Ridley and so many other women top of heir careers whose hearts were arrested by the light of Islam. I pray that light never eludes your heart as you are a wonderful person .

hymen:
I hope your husband is not my LagosBoy o

ifyalways:
Hahaha,Iyawo ejo r
Nay,Lb was born a Muslim,I and my husband were born as Christians.Besides,he is Yoruba,my husband is not Yoruba.
@Muki,

I beg o no let Ify's husband break my head o .

Ify maybe you could help Hymen privately and outside NL, you never know as some of your answers might assist her in makin up her mind. You have the experience of the difficulties and forces that creates hesistation to accept the shahadah.

Hymen may Allah soften your heart and bring you to Islam sooner than we think.

hymen:
If na so muslims dey behave . . .I'd rather stay where I am.

However I do have really good well behaved friends that are muslims.

Abeg don't stay where you are o , Muslims should not behave in a bad manner, we should not be abusive, quarrelsome nor troublemaking . Please use Islam as your baseline and not some Muslims.

The grass is greener on the other side, believe me you shall never have no regrets but full of thanks to your Sustainer for guiding you to his light that illuminates the heart beyond compression or expression.

Did you understand the life after death explanation I gave to you on the curious thread, let me know if you have further queries.

congoshine:
Thank you for your 'intervention'. . .me sef get sisters wey love me o ! i have also read your posts & you're probably the most rational NLer (no flattering),

1. Please tell me can one recite the shaddadah in Yoruba & it will be acceptable to Allah?

2. Think about this. Why would God that created all the languages and peoples on earth,choose one person & language to reveal all His purpose for mankind and the expect all human beings to believe and follow this 'way of life'& then punish all those who do not.

I invite you (I suspect you are Yoruba from your ID) to read more about Ifa Olokun Asoro dayo. This is God's revelation to your people (Yorubas),unfortunately at the time of this revelation-they lacked the resources to write things down like the Koran,hadiths etc.

I enjoin you not to dismiss this with the wave of the hand. The same rational open mind you have been exhibiting,do exercise it here it. The charge of idolatory isn't neecessarily true as you'll find out. (Recall the hajj still has elements of pre-mohammed 'pagan' rituals).

Sango,Ogun,Yemoja etc never planned themselves to be deified, they were all prophets sent to the yorubas like Mohammed to the arabs,Jesus to the Jews,etc.

But because of military,economic and political expansion,africans have been brainwashed into accepting this other specific revelations as their own and this is the genesis of all the problems we have in the world today.

Let me know your thoughts on this. . . please take time to digest.

Congoshine please i would respond to you very soon Insha Allah. Tbaba has done a good job on the answers as well.

uplawal:
@Congoshine,dont let it suprise you,i for one i wont dispute IFA at all,the only thing that will make me argue about it is because people have raised gods with the only true God alongside with it,infact,The IFA itself,i dnt think is corrupted but only peoples ideology is corrupted to have made them join the oracles(messengers)with Allah,The way IFA'S verses  recited is the same way with the Quran,infact,you get emotional with both when recited,ORIGINAL IFA IS SO PURE and undiluted like the Quran,but i cant really speak for now,maybe the men and jinn have corrupted it making people to worship others with God,Allah,Olodumare,Olohun.As av not really learned IFA,but i think personally that Jesus and Muhammad(pbuthem)were  also mentioned in it,it might also have talked about the advent of the prophet,and the commandment to follow him as the last messenger,infact,when i hear little children recite IFA'S verses,sometimes i feel like crying,cos its awesome,IFA requires no human sacrifice to appease Almighty God,it also preaches doing good and forbidden evil in things,I say all these,because i was once OMO IFA,I ONCE HAVE THE ILEKE IFA TIED WITH THE (PALMNUT)on my waist,though i cant remember the name of my IFA,cos then when we were called to IFA,i felt something so cool and tranquility withing us and we are so happy the verses being recited to us and then followed by prayers upon prayers to Olodumare and not any idol in between,then celebration follows,we ate and drank and all were happy,

And to some people that might think,oh its only poor people or local people that do Ifa,its a palin lie,well do do people of different fields and walks of life do it,they they wont advertise it,millions of doctors,professors,pastors sef,get opon IFA(tray &Opele) in their cupboard,i can say IFA is as real as the Quran only that people have done evil justice to it.Even then ,we were christians but then IFA MADE sense to us than Christianity of paul (not INJEEL) though,in those days,cos the corruption of the Bible will not make you feel the essence of it,the tranquility Allah sends with it,but we just had to follow because its invogue and society approves it,why wont they approve it sef,when the white men had brainwashed better path of thier brain.

Sister please and please with all due respect and humility dont compare ifa verses with Quranic verses please. You could write good things about ifa if you wish but equating the ifa verses with the verses of the quran as a muslim leaves a bad taste and tantamount to shirk kabeer.

2good:
@ Lagosboy,
Why will the clash be labelled tribal alone when mosques were burnt? Is that not a red flag to show its also religious?

You have a point there, 5 mosques destroyed translates into religous crises. I submit to your arguement

But why is the media playing a religous card here, why can they not be defined by the tribe alone ? i wonder why the need to add their religious affliation to it, as it is obvious the clash had nothing to do with religion. One tribe happens to be a muslim and the other christian.

udennaa:
lets not judge the inec staff unfairly.who doesnt know that the hijab wearing women dont uncover their face or any part of their body in public.how can they be registered without their photos n finger-prints?they should do the right thing,simple.

How do they get passports if they dont uncover their faces, lets be real as the women have never said they dont uncover their hands. The issue here is they would not remove their hijab which shows the face. Why would inec corpers make rules that are non existent.

ceasyc:

YES OH. a guy did one for me for 450 pounds - i thought it was real oh cos it looked so real n some pple he did it 4 got away wit it.
just cudnt bother going to d high commission myself cos of work schedule = bad idea

i was lucky cos d home office did not persecute me, they just wrote me n said your passport was obtained fraudulently (fake)
do a new one and resubmit. i had to go to d 9ja high commission to get another back then

You were very lucky i must say . . . .i wonder though if this was years back , because such crimes land people in 1yr jail i guess. It means you were in possession of fradulent document.

If the INEC staff registering are youth corpers like we were told , i find this really disgusting for educated graduates to refuse to register their fellow Nigerians because of their dressing. I fear for the futre of Nigeria if our educated young ones wold act in this manner!

Buharii was my first choice in 2003 and 2007, he is my first choice today and Ribadu might be my first choice in 2015.

SAI BUHARI

It is a terrible shame to have this woman as our first lady, a country of intellectuals and highly educated people. GEJ with his phd cannot even help his wife by getting her a teacher to brush up her english skills, this shows that the woman, her husband and handlers are all lazy bunch of rogues.

Almost all western politicians have handlers to help them brush up their skills where they are lacking and there is no shame in it. Cameron, Clegg had to go through intensive practice seesions before their debate last summer to help them perfom well. It would only take 3 - 6 months of dedication to help this woman speak and read properly. They cannot be bothered anyway they are too busy stealing public funds that will not be buried with them in their graves.

Ameen to the dua IFY, purification of our deen and intention is very important and may Allah assist us in this task.

xoxo, :
^Amin to that Ify. How to get them to give you a listening ear is the main issue, some don't even consider you good enough Muslims. Ironic----right? well its just the sad reality.

Shame on us, if we look down on others and thinking they are less muslim than we are. I have experienced this myself in some places I go to. Some muslims are so shallow in in intellect and thought that they judge you straight by appearance (i can understand this sometimes if a lady is without the head covering). I have been looked down on in some places because i dont wear a jalabiyyah or have a long beard . Some muslims even think in their sub conscious mind that the alpha and omega of outward apperance is a long robe, trousers above the ankle and a long beard. If you dont have this attributes you are doomed to the hell fire according to their thinking.

May Allah asist us all
