jayriginal:
No wahala



That is exactly the point I was trying to get to you. Your question to LogicBoy was phrased in such a way that a simple yes or no answer would skew his meaning. Therefore, he expressed himself in the clearest terms possible.

Back in 2012 when we were bros.

Good times

A reminder!!

Tufanja:
Having read more of his contributions on NL, I think/feel I somehow share Reyginus' position. Just seems not everyone is listening to the nuances he brings up very well....

In the world of logicboys there is only black or white...

In the eyes of the Dark Knight, there are only two people- heroes and scumbags..........


Mtchew.

I thought you were an atheist or are you following the silliness of bolaino/uyiiredia and reyginius who all are funky spiritualists?

Tufanja:
OMG, he is coming to visit me. That is terrorism level 4 (red).

See this london toilet cleaner feeling funky.

Abegi. Karashika move to the left jor.....

How old are you? Give me just a rough estimate

Kayi....

I'm your father

ugojamali:
Because our financial institutions are greedy and do not have our economic interest at heart. The BDC is a perfect example. They buy the dollar at 199 from CBN and they sell at 285, a mouth watering gain of 86 naira for every dollar. Tell me, do they buy fuel for their business? Do they spend much on transport from state to state to sell their product? No! They are simply too greedy. And that is the problem with all Nigerians. We simply want to exploit and ruin each other. Left to me, with the exception of Dangote and Adenuga, we should speedily invite foreigners to take over all aspects of our economy.

Financial regulations can put a stop to such oppressive profiteering.

benebaby77:
if government use any of Nigerian international financial institution to do this, dollar rate will still be high....

Nigerian International Financial Institution

Emphasis on "international"

bigass123:
When honesty, competence and integrity is direly needed you won't care where you find it.. As long as you find it.
This is the same reason a CEO will leave his siblings and close friends alone and hire a G.M who is a total stranger.
RESULTS LO MATTER MHEN!!!

So there is no reputable financial company in Nigeria that can do the work?

Reyginus:
Lolol. I don't really bother about that. It's a good thing.

Ah but you do.


Anyhoo, I'm running out of ideas. I need some inspiration for my atheist crusade. Can you help?

Travelex is a foriegn company.

Why can't CBN use any of our Nigerian international financial institutions to do this?


See how foolish our government is?

Reyginus:
Wiewie, is he lying?

wiegraf:
I don turn to pipito. I don suffer (well, maybe being a pipi isn't so bad)
Not going to comment on that

You know, I dont blame both of you. With all the hatred I got from being the Dark Knight, many lies and misconceptions were thrown against me. You guys are not the first people here to be surprised that I'm well educated and older. Empiree, lanrexlan Vedaxcool and co were all angrily accusing me of lying when I said that I had a masters.




I joined Nairaland in 2012 and had my masters before then, if you remember.

Or do I have to bring up some old posts?

wiegraf:
LB, you had what masters degree over 5 years ago? IIRC you're in your mid 20s lb... Not to mention, what did you just tell reyginus now?? Chai...

Anyhoo, bros, no, my goal was not to antagonize you (who do u think u are sef?). It's to point out you have absolutely no point whatsoever with regards to the legal section.

Also btw, as I think this is the only 'point' of yours that hasn't been addressed: that nairaland thrived without a 'legal' section is irrelevant. It also thrived without 'what does ja think?' and millions of other sections. All it need do is get the basics right and have the other sections not be detrimental to its bottomline, simple.

Not to mention, seun started this place as a commercial enterprise (, the clue is likely in the name.) I believe his goals are not the same as those of the proposed site (unless it's yours alone....), and he could simply have reasoned that he doesn't want the potentially controversy, or just the extra headache that admining that or any other section, entail. It would hurt his bottomline. A business decision. Simple. As you don't share his goals, why the need to emulate him completely?

And, as you didn't grasp the full reason for my question of your support of seun in this case, he is not infallible (in what context sef? But we'll ignore that, in order to keep things sort of short). Who's not to say that a legal section would have been a roaring success? Who's to say that his is the only template for success? Are you saying that sites with legal sections bomb? What of your beloved reddit?

And pls don't use 'its in the US' as an excuse. It's already been addressed.....

JACKBIZZLE HERE! SPAMBOT GOT ME!

First read the point in my original argument;

JackBizzle:
1) It is a fact that most people do not understand the law. T[b]he issue here is that law is a profession and therefore legal advice should come from a professionally qualified lawyer. Given the corrupt and 419 nature of scammers on nairaland, any fool can claim to be a lawyer and mislead any of those 90% of people that do not know the law.[/b] Are you going to beg Seun to verify everyone that gives legal advice? How do you ascertain who is a qualified lawyer on an anonymous forum


1) Legal advice should be only given by qualified lawyers. How do we verify qualified lawyers?

Regarding your mention of reddit legal advice being popular, you need to understand that any subreddit less than 200,000 subscribers isnt as popular as you think it is since there are numerous reddits that rank in the millions of subscribers.

onegig: Guy, you are so full of yourself you know.

Is peddling falsehood about things you don't understand; passing it on as facts and gospel truth to the populace what you call criticism?

Someone who's criticizing comes to town with a great understanding of what his subject is and is laden with facts not heresays. Also he bows to voice of reason when he is schooled about what he lacks knowledge about not going on a merry go round march and talking about irrelevanties when "caught".

See this one. You can even ask your main 'scholar' here about my knowledge of Islam. Ask Tbaba about my knowledge of Islam.


I have knowledge. Knowledge can bring about confidence. You mistake my confidence for arrogance.

onegig: Can you please reread what you just wrote?

So because some people "feel" gives them the audacity and excuse to run rampage when such threads hit fp? What happened to abstaining from commenting if you really want to preach your tolerance.

Its your actions and not your words that tells whether you guys are tolerant or not and i must say judging by the way you guys have been behaving on this forum... You guys are very immature, intolerant, crass, selfish and condescending.

You can just imagine what he just said. Muslim threads should not hit fp because christains dont want it there. Ain't that highlight of an intolerant group?

Quarantine? You don't tell someone where to visit or what to do on a public forum. Why would they visit your religion sections and argue endlessly with you when you have nothing new to offer. The truth is most muslims on this forum have come to understand we are in a multi religious setting and have learnt to let others live by what they believe and won't go on opening stupid and degrading threads about what is or what is not; which is a Sign of religious maturity.

I understand. You have problems with logic.

It is not about what Christians feel. It is about facts.

no one is telling you where to go or where not to go. The very fact that you people isolate yourselves is already a sign if intolerance. You guys ran from the religion section to this place. You can't live with other religions? But other religions can live with each other.

Now the front page issue is very simple. The front page is for everyone. Not everyone is going to agree with Islam and so, your mods can't just delete dissenting comment unless they are insults. Your mods treat the front page as if it is for only Muslims.

worse, your section does not deserve the front page since it is the only section that is restrictive of posters by choice (for only Muslims). Why put stuff for only Muslims on fp for everyone....dies that make sense? Simple logic.


Think about this.

golpen: What is our mr logicbwoy saying? How many times as the truth mattered to you when it criticises islam? Do you know how many of hoaxes and fabrication about ridiculing islam that has made front page? "Do not post wrong information on NL"

And the stereotypical aspect is that ones a thread concerning islam is brought up on front page - no matter on what topic it is - what our tolerant christians and atheists shout on is terrorism, not caring if it derails the thread or not.

But here's what you should rather be logical about. OPs don't just make it to the front page. They actually pass through the superior mods which may include non-muslims, so its out of the mods hands to post an OP on the front page, be wise.

First of all, the mods could have closed the thread before or after it made front page.
Secondly, it was submitted to the mods before it reached front page

You are now trying to lie that it was a Christian supermod that posted it to the to the fp without the knowledge of the mods


Intolerance indeed

Stalwert

Logicbwoy: Evidence;

A thread containing the claim that Muhammad invented the toothbrush through using chewing stick first made it to the front page.

The truth doesn't matter as long as it is praising Islam or the prophet.


Imagine if someone (a non Muslim) lied by stating that the prophet invented war? Would that even make front page?

When I made a complaint about the falsehood about the thread claiming lies about the prophet and toothbrush, I got my comment hidden.


Tolerance?

Evidence;

A thread containing the claim that Muhammad invented the toothbrush through using chewing stick first made it to the front page.

The truth doesn't matter as long as it is praising Islam or the prophet.

tiarabubu: Unfortunately, you are not a very good debater that is why I seldom reply you. In your haste to reply you very easily lose context, focus and synergy. I will make an exception today and give a short reply for the sake of your minions. And by the way, the answer to Muslim's missteps is not "Non-Muslims did it too" or "Non-Muslims caused it".


Unfortunately, comparing the biased action of a University with that of a whole State like kano confirms your lack of ability to balance an argument. Unfortunately for you, what you are saying this has been a reoccuring complaint of the Non-Muslim community in places like UDU and even KSU. It is no qualms for Kastina state to build 34 of Mosques with government funds (over a quarter of a billion naira) while some of its citizens are non-muslims and it has more pressing socioeconomic problems! But I let it be so you go figure.


The resistance to Islamic banking was about the CBN using government money to promote a bank that is based on religion. This was the reason for the opposition - e.g. setting up of "expert Council" within the CBN made up of Islamic Scholars, using CBN money to promote the bank etc. That was CAN's official position. Of course, others misunderstood, misinterpreted and of course even some Christians misunderstood CAN's official position. CAN's position carried the day as CBN allowed private individuals to fund the bank and did not carry out that misstep of using government money to spend on a religious based bank. And crucially, there were no burning of mosques and murders etc during the Islamic banking debate.

As per your opposition to drinking, thats your problem. As bad as it is, as long as it is not illegal, you can only persuade people through education and reason not some brute force 16 century style of coercion.

As per people not covering up... What is your idea of covering up? If a lady dresses normally and decently and you are still hot under the collar because of exposed hair or face, check yourself. Its your twisted perverted mind that is the problem and not the girl.

As per the Christmas tree, you are joking right? When Muslims were at the helm and bought hundreds of goats and distributed during sallah at the government expense, who complained? Did you know the Minister of FCT and almost all northern governors distributed rams with government money too? Who protested? I was in Nigeria during the last Sallah and many major intersections in Abuja had large signboards proclaiming Sallah greetings from the MFCT, who protested? In fact I will stop here before I unwittingly become guilty of what I am accusing you of.



Just know that Kano was wrong in that action, pure and simple. That action should be judged for what it is . Claiming non-muslims "actions" as the basis for the action is sooooo lame.

It's enough, even the op (not Deols) sees their hypocrisy on this matter.

Is this not the same section that allowed a thread claiming that Muhammad invented the toothbrush get to the front page?

harbiola1: You must be very crazy for writing this. And may God destroy the hand u used to type this (I don't think i'm cursing u), u this unfortunate fellow. How many times have you insulted ur father and mother b4 coming here to insult God?

Eh eh! an avenue for insulting God is what u want? and that is the definition of ur own Tolerance?
But every muslims here were nt brought up by useless Mother like your's, so we don't have that previlege let alone of given others. A curse in ur life can visically be pointed out.
All the graces of God, water, air, sun, light, darkness, land... are surely cursing u. And the best thing you can do is to implicate others with you misfortune. I pray that your father and mother are nt damned for given birth to their enemy.

Lol....a foul mouth

vedaxcool: My brother the way they think remains baffling!

Typical intolerance. Who are they?

Only Muslims think properly abi?


Please, take a look at vedaxcools profile and count how many one liners and troll pics thaT he uses to attack people rather than focus in the topic of the thread.

On a normal section, this guy would have been cautioned.

jumzzy448: You are so correct.
Logic boy that calls himself visitor only visit this section to ridicule Islam. Why visit a religious section when you know you are only there to look for trouble and you expect the mods to be silent about it.

Exhibit a of an intolerant mind.

atheism = ridiculing Islam.

Go and check out my threads on my profile and you will find that they contain logical and well thought out issues on Islam. Sometimes, I criticize Islam, sometimes I defend the west, sometimes I defend atheismor even Christianity....,.


Just admit that you don't want to see any criticism of Islam. We know what intolerance some of you like.

My profile is one click away for you to differentiate between criticism that is well thought out and ridicule

onegig: Want answers.

On friday there would be threads from this section on the frontpage look at the responses of most people who call themselves tolerant. Then wait till sunday and see threads from the christain section and see if any muslim post irrelevant things.

Harbiola and vedaxcool are examples of Muslims that attack Christians.

furthermore, most Muslims quarantine themselves to this section but then they want front page. You will find that Christians mostly do not come here unless it is a front page material. Most do not see why you guys deserve the front page.

How ironic.......a judas on the islam section. Smh

Thank God one muslim had the sense to assess this article seriously while the others were shouting praise.

Mujahideen is right. This is not something to be shouting 'Allahuakbar' for.

First off, the title is misleading. If she really prefers Allah, she would become a muslim and leave christianity all together.

Sweden is a liberal country and I bet u that she would hold views that many muslims here wobt stomach.


How many of you would accept an imama that would claim that apostle paul had a better view of God than Muhammad?

You can't be a christian and use someone outside the bible as an equal measure of divinity to Jesus. The woman is clearly confused. She didn't know the discretions of her job despite her phd.


Lol

BetaThings: Actually what you think does not matter in the LEAST. It does not matter either way. I mean this ABSOLUTELY
You have never commended anyone unless he/she is critical of Islam
Anyway Muslims will not compromise - NO to f.a.g.g.ot.ry

Wow....such a mature and sensible reply.

First of all, the issue is about alcohol n sharia.
Secondly, you are mistaken if you think that I am gay.
Thirdly 'fa.ggot' is a demeaning term towards gays. It is a sign of bigotry.

BetaThings: Really?
Please can you quote where you did this type of analysis when Muslims were (and still are) precluded from building a mosque in Rivers State University while the authorities of same University built several churches for Christians
They have even ignored court judgment
Sorry, Christianity CANNOT be an intolerant religion! Only Islam is



But Christians mounted a sustained campaign against Islamic Banking in this "free" country!
I can even be an unwitting victim of the reckless driving by an inebriated motorist.
So outside religion, some people in free countries frown at alcohol because it can fuel violence or accidents
I am scratching my head how Islamic Bank to be funded by private money (just like GT, First, Zenith and other banks) will affect anyone to justify the opposition by Christians
I am sorry, I missed the memo, Christianity CANNOT be an intolerant religion


Here we go. Christians have been fighting against Hijab for ever. What harm it does to them, I cannot fathom
They cane Muslim pupils in PUBLIC schools. When a newspaper reported that Lagos state had banned the Hijab, Christians were agog online
Sorry, I forgot that Christianity CANNOT be an intolerant religion

I have not seen Muslims take a position on a matter that will make Christians commit any sin. None
Christians want Muslims to deal in Riba (a sin) by using conventional banks
Christians want Muslims ladies to expose part of their bodies that Allah require them to cover (a sin)
The FG spending public money put up a national christmas tree in Abuja and ensured members of diplomatic corps were present
This army that would have been screaming against Hijab ban did you seen them? - please can you show me Muslims protesting?
But Islam is intolerant!

Let me ask: what would have been the reaction of CAN if it were a national Eid-el-Mawlid tree?

Hijab is a religious obligation and is compulsory everytime a Muslim lady is outdoors (it is not required at home)
Just like normal societies don't ask people to go out in the nude and take their baths at home with their clothes on
Banning alcohol is not an attack on any religion - it is not a religious duty - we should not mix dissimilar issues

BTW If people want to get drunk, they should be free to provided they don't run me over
However even Guinness recommends people start drinking as from 6pm

As for VAT, I support isolating VAT income from non-halal sources
Allah is sufficient for those who place their trust in him. Muslims should not eat from haram sources

You and vedaxcool have become something else. Dubious to the core in your comments.

There is no need to talk about christianity on this thread or in a reply to Tiarabubus comment.

The fact remains that the destruction of the bottles of alcohol is wrong.

Tbaba and his minions are trying to spin the issue to talk about location and sharia areas.


Why not just send the truck back to a place where drinking is allowed.

The argument about location is false. The truck won't deposit the crates of beer in a muslim's house....it would have been going to a bar or depot....and they weren't selling from the truck to pesdestrians.......none of the reports state that.

All I see is hypocrisy....where the same muslims that were up in arms about the banning of hijab are here using style to support this intolerance

golpen: it doesn't make any sense because you're never going to stop calling . Just admit and be gentle, we'll accommodate all of you the way you deserve. Keep calling!!! And remember, staring at the abyss makes the abyss stare back

Yawn
