Christianity EtcRe: Our Children Will Continue To Wear Church Robes To School- CAN President, Ayokun by Lightening: 2:20pm On Aug 07, 2016
alowonle02:
I don't think dis man is carefully screened before emerged as a CAN president because all what he was sayying is totally confussed and trying to cause religion rift in our nation. Should CAN or christianity has issue with government let it go court and see judgement from court rather than behaving as if it is above d law.
No, it is the other way. The governor should have sought the interpretation of the court before embarking on this journey of no return. To even imagine that what is bothering a nonperforming governor like him that has virtually run Osun state aground is hijab is worrisome in the least.

Mere outdated propaganda mindlessly repeated. No serious scholar of history takes these allegations seriously anymore.

Do you mean the kind of mass annihilations that were carried out by Christian missionaries in South and North America, Spain and Portugal, North, South, East, West Africa and across Asia through colonialist armies and conquistadors? No, there were no such things done by Islam. Christians in the levant, Byzantium, and North Africa were so tired of Christian divisions, cruelty and oppression, that they rushed to Islam in droves. To prove that there were no annihilations, descendants of Christian settlers still live in all these countries, compare to the Muslim and Jewish genocides carried out in medieval Spain and Portugal. No non combatants were ever killed in all the Muslim wars, compare to the Spanish conquistador conquest of the Aztecs and Mayans where entire cities were wiped out 'in the name of God'. No one was ever forced to convert to Islam, so much so that some of your historians have even theorised that the early Islamic State even discouraged conversions of non Muslims so that they could collect more jizya (there is no pleasing christians), compare this to the actions of your priests of 'love filled lives' during the inquisition which gave the real meaning to the words 'forceful conversions', where Muslim and Jewish families were looted, and forced to convert in front of blazing pyres. Even coming back to Africa, did your great grandparents accept Christianity voluntarily, especially the ones taken on slave ships to provide slave labour to good christians? Go read about the abuses of the British/french/Belgian colonialism in all the territory under their control. Read up about how christians justified slavery of black people as 'the will of God' straight from the bible, while you are at it.

Then come back here and tell me that Islam was spread at the point of a sword, while christianity was spread voluntarily through light and love.
Jolted right? No amount of conspiracy theories will rewrite history. Go and read how the Ottomans of Turkey destroyed and murdered Christians and seized churches, schools and changed them to mosques. How did Othman Dan Fodio spread Islam in Africa? Through preaching and love?

There is no glory at all in forcefully converting people into Islam through persecution, blackmail, violence, terrorism and sheer wickedness and turn around to gloat about a blood- thirsty fastest growing religion.

U see how foolish u are. In our days and I'm sure till now, on assembly ground what song do the pupils sing? Ogbanje song or Christian songs? Did Muslims complain? Now, hijab has been legalised and u guys want to kill yourselves. I beg go and then.
Pls try and be civil in your comments. Both Christians and Muslims pray at assemblies in every mixed-faith school. Wearing hijab is pure religious. It is an identity thing which is misplaced in a secular institution.

Maybe because Christians did not get a court order to establish their rights, but decided to use childish tit for tat and religious blackmail. The question is, can the court pronouncement be interpreted to include church robes? If yes, I am sure that Osun state will happily oblige.

For we Muslims, we dont care whether you even have a court order or not. Do you see Muslims taking you to court to prevent you from wearing church robes to school? Wear whatever you wish, have you ever seen a Muslim teacher oppressing a Christian for dressing as a Christian? We are used to the childish behaviour evinced by Christians, we are just not going to keep tolerating it, and this is what is now creating friction... you want us to live by your rules forever. Not going to happen, Sorry.
You Muslims don't care yet a Muslim state governor is spearheading the alteration of Christian religious doctrines and teachings? Are you sure of what you are saying?

If Muslims leaders talk the way this CAN president is talking about how many Muslims are being killed by others and why Muslims must defend themselves then Nigeria will be in chaos because all i read in his speech is hate and intolerance propagation.
Please tell us how many Muslims are being killed by Christians. Educate us with instances just like the CAN president cited four very recent instances of killings of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria.

You are right, Africa will soon be almost all non Christian, just like Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Morrocco, Albania etc; against all the prophecies and expectations of CFAN 1900-2020. Though Christianity had a headstart of 600 years, and despite the fact that Christians of all persuasions have engaged; and are still engaging today; in oppressive wars of advanced weaponry and rampant media/online calumny against Islam, Islam is still set to overtake Christianity worldwide. Just go check out Muslim gains in Europe and the US; where the Ex-Christians (now atheists) have turned away from the Pauline manipulation of Jesus, we Muslims are reviving his true message.

The Quran was right...

<< And say: "Truth has now arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is; by its nature; bound to perish." >>

Quran 17:81.

If you like, dont only 'stand' your faith, frog jump it.
The conquests of Islam in Africa and elsewhere would have been more glorious if it were by compelling religious beliefs and godliness rather than by forceful conversion and mass annihilation of christians that defy conversion through jihad. Is that anything a reasonable person will celebrate? The Christians preach Jesus crucified and back it up with a love filled life. People voluntarily take up the christian faith. That's when there is joy in heaven.

Anyone that wears hijab or church robes to school, but refuses to wear same to a birthday party is a bigot.
I read in one book that Jesus never called himself the son of God. if that is true why are we deceiving these children by teaching them what is not true.
Read from one book? Read from the bible. That is the authoritative book that reveals who Jesus truly is.

Nasman:
What some of you ignorant dumbass, can't connect is that going to Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. And In Muslim Society you cant separate religion from politics and normal day-to-day activities.
And for those asking whether Kano Civil servants have been paid, go check your fact. Kano State has never fail to paid it workers since it inauguration in May.
Stop comparing yourselves with Muslims, cos for Christians going to Jerusalem or Rome is nothing short of Tourism. And I dare all Christians here on Nairaland to show me a place in the Bible, where they are asked to go Jerusalem. Nigerian Christians, will always copy what the Muslims are doing. It okay thou.
Please who made going to Hajj one of the pillars of Islam? Arab doctrine of eternal bondage on Muslims.

HealthRe: When Disaster Strikes: Some Of The Most Shocking Survival Stories Ever. by Lightening: 7:34pm On Jul 23, 2016
musicwriter:
I used to follow a programme called ''I shouldn't be alive'' on national geographic channel. Anybody that really want to see jaw dropping survival experiences should go to youtube and check it out.

In one episode, a helicopter flying over an active volcano developed fault just on top of the volcano and fell inside the larva. It was like falling inside hell. How they survived is astonishing.

In another episode, an airplane with over 200 passengers crashed in a desne forest and many died instantly, but not all. After one month of looking for them by their government, the search and rescue operation was suspended, not knowing some of the passengers survived. They were declared dead and forgotten.

I think they lived in the forest for about 3 months, lost in the middle of nowhere searching for a way out. Things got so bad for them they had to resort to eating the flesh of fellow dead passengers on the way just to survive. Many died on the way, just about 7 or so of them made it out of the forest alive. One survivor already had his wife married to another man by the time he got home.
Explorer captured the story with pix above.

Mbadiwe, the proposed interim PM, Igbo. Tick.

Nwafor, the existing senate president, Igbo. Tick.

Nzeribe, the deputy speaker of the parliament, Igbo. Tick.

Then the coup plotters who were mostly Igbo complained of corruption overdose in government only to end up killing some non-Igbos in government while leaving corrupt Igbos unkilled. Tick.  

This was one of the seductive narratives of Igbo domination that the dispossessed Northern politicians and the coalition of the offended succeeded in impressing on consciousness of the distracted nation in the following three months.

The result? An organised mass slaughter, the like of which Nigerians only read in foreign news and in the final pages of the New Testament.

To thinking the events of "Bastille day", the movie, would actual remain a movie. The reality came out worse.
Truth is these terror attacks won't abate any time soon. For those thinking it's because of the weak immigration policies of these countries, care to note that most of these terror attacks are being carried out by citizens who have long resided in the countries before the current immigration influx.
These countries are being targeted for their roles in the middle east unrest and subsequent displacement of the various ethnic militias in such countries, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Egypt, thanks to NATO and her allied nations.

France, your wailing should be directed at Bush, Blair, and Obama.
Welcome to the reality. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the deceased, getting caught up in a struggle that they knew nothing about
Well spoken. At least as an insider you have told France what the attacks are avenging. I hope you love the package Trump is preparing for muslims as a way of forestalling this kind of attack which of course you justified in your post. Soon, the whole Europe will adopt his template, then you will switch to wailing about how Muslims are being persecuted. Continuuu.

Best comment so far. He should call her and tell her why he is quiting . He should advise her to change her ways so that this kind of break up won't happen to her in the future. That advice will go a long way to restructuring the family . After such discussion, the guy should try as much as possible not to have any contact with the girl, because he could be charmed and that will be disastrous.
Telling her the reason might not be a good idea. She may just get back home and team with the mother and snuff life out of the poor father for driving a suitor away. I have observed that such unforgiving women blames everybody but themselves for their woes.

Look, no man can mistreat me and my children and even find my address when he is desperate ok? Her mother even tried giving him shelter. So after he must have abandoned them for ashawo and the mother did anything to raise her kids, she should now accept the cursed being into her life to keep eating her food and living from her sweat so he can resume carrying ashawo. Such things can never even happen in my home because my husband after messing up knows he cannot come back to tell me any story.

Don't change your ways, continue... The one wey go meet you for front de wait you? Small mistake you say? You call abandoning your family for another woman a small mistakehuh Why did he go back to who he treated badly? Are his girlfriends all dead?

Some of you talk of conscience but do things to other's you cannot take. This man is reaping the fruits of his wickedness and you are talking to me about someone's conscience being dead? Is it not your conscience that is dead? For you to call such a big issue a mistake? Women should fear you! Leave your name, date of birth, photo and address so women can run from you!

E no go beta for the man we go do me or my daughters this kind thing. Thunder, lightening, brimstone! Sangoooo!!!
Two wrongs can never make a right. If you ever seek to be genuinely happy, the key is forgiveness. By the way, while you are at the revenge mission, what do you think your relationship with God will be like? If you don't forgive men their trespasses, you will not be forgiven either says the holy book. In a but shell, it will be in yours and daughter's interest to forgive and reintegrate the errant father. A complete home is usually more attractive to suitors than broken ones.

OP my dad died after a protracted illness which was hushed. He had another woman living with him who of course was not his wife because my mom is his only wife and he never remarried. Upon his death people said had he been with us all the whole he was sick, he very likely wouldn't have died from that sickness whatever it was. Obviously he was maltreated and all what not in the hands of the other woman just because he wanted to obey his mother and leave my mom. Just imagine if his tale is something similar to this and imagine if he's even better off with your fiancee's mom right now. Just maintain a level head first and investigate. I'm not taking anybody's side, I'm just saying that things might not always be the way they seem.
I hope it wasn't your mum's excess love for your dad that made his mother persuade him to leave her for another woman.
