MrPresident1:
What is the status of the peace (and safety) talks between the King of the North aka Russia and the King of the South US/UK/NATO aka Ukraine?

Say tuned to NTA and Radio Nigeria

Rashduct4luv:
People are being lynched all across the country and I've never seen an outcry like this! Just because this one has a religious undertone and of cos Islam always make the news!
Out security architecture is to be blamed not Muslims.

Lukgaf:
The Muslim community, like every other is guided by certain sacred principles which members are obligated to hold high and guard jealously. These sacred principles are RED LINES that must NOT be crossed even by bonafide members of the community. It amounts to sacrilege and desecration of the Muslim faith to do so.

The reason for this strict standards is that these RED LINES are the superstructure upon which the Muslim faith is founded. An attack on them shakes the foundation of Islām to its very root and calls to question the validity of the Muslim faith. It's worse than burning the IPOB flag on the street of Anambra or Imo while making derogatory remarks about Ojukwu/ Nnamdi Kanu. In fact, it is worse than walking into Sambisa during the active days of Boko Harām to challenge Shekau to a fight. Faith is NOT akin to comedy or entertainment. It's what people live for. It's what they hope to reap from in the next life.

Some of these RED LINES are:
1. Insulting Allāh سبحانه وتعالى: An attack on Allāh whom Muslims worship is an attempt to ridicule the basis of their existence and faith. Passing derogatory remarks, making mockery of His names and Attributes, denying His Names and Attributes, comparing Him to His creatures, reducing Him to a mere entity, etc, are some of the things to avoid when describing Him. He is NOT an idol. He's not the Ka'abah that Muslims circumambulate during Tawāf. He is Allāh, to be described ONLY by the attributes that He has given Himself.

2. Desecrating the Qur'ān: The Qur'ān is NOT a creature of Allāh like us humans. It is the eternal word of Allāh, revealed to the Prophet ﷺ through Angel Jibrīl and preserved in its original form since its revelation till date by divine protection. It has not and CANNOT be corrupted in the least. Twisting its meaning, tearing it, burning it, stepping on it, denying its authenticity, etc as we have witnessed bigots do in the past is ridiculous and provocative.

3. Insulting the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: In recent times, no personality: political or religious has been attacked unjustly and without provocation as Muhammad ﷺ. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the symbol of Islām and its most revered figure. He's NOT the originator or founder of Islām as wrongly asserted by some prominent Orientalists. In fact, there's NOTHING like Mohammedanism in the Islamic literature. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was sent to continue the propagation of messages of the previous prophets before him. Allāh says:

قُلْ مَا كُنتُ بِدْعًا مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ

"I am no novelty (either in my person or in the message I have brought) among the Messengers." (Q.46:9)
Just like the Jews and Christians hold Moses and Jesus in high esteem respectively, believing that no one can reach God or attain salvation but through them, Muslims hold Muhammad ﷺ so dearly that not even their parents equal him in reverence. Obedience to him without question is a religious obligation commanded in the Qur'ān. Loving him unconditionally is the key to salvation. Relating with those that love and revere him and severing ties with those who hate and ridicule him, irrespective of their status is a sign of perfection and validity of faith.
Thus, insulting him, making fun of him, reducing him to a caricature, falsifying his statements, deliberate lying against him, etc, are very dangerous lines that must NEVER be crossed.

4. Ridiculing the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: These were men and women who shed tears, blood and sweat to protect the nascent faith in its advent, learn its principles and practices, preserve and pass it to posterity. The Sahābah represent the best generation of people after the Prophet ﷺ. They recorded and reported the Qur'ān as well as the Prophet's Traditions which form the basis of the Sharī'ah. Thus, doubting their credibility and ridiculing them in whatever form is tantamount to uprooting Islām from its very foundation.

5. Destroying the Masjid: the Masjid (mosque) is the central area designed for the worship of Allāh. It's a holy and sacred place. It's sanctity goes beyond its mere structure. It's a symbolic representation Islām as a religion. Apart from being a worship center, it's an educational institution, a spiritual, physical and moral training ground for the Muslims as well as a rallying point for collective duties in the interest of the faith and the state.

It only takes understanding and respect for a people's cherished and valued interests, love for peace and security as well as desire for harmonious coexistence to maintain civility and decorum around these while interfacing with each other in a multi-faith society. The incessant penchant for disrespecting others' culture and faith needs to be addressed in order to avoid all these unnecessary altercations and bloodshed.

HellVictorinho4:
Please,I need your financial assistance seriously.

HellVictorinho4:
I need your financial assistance

I want to settle certain debts .... I also want to get an apartment.

I hate the incomplete building where I am.....it has no toilet.



I also have to let you know my brother was released from prison a few months ago.... just saying it since you sound worthy to tell.



I honestly find my life almost ending with nothing but diseases upon diseases if I don't get solution to certain issues.

TheSourcerer:
I know , of course they do but in a thousand years , In Fact In a few hundred years when the Earth has finally scorched out part of the Earth , would this moment you had matter ....?......the would be no consciousness to 'feel' what you 'felt'..,you feel

LordReed:
To the universe, no

TheSourcerer:
but are these things important ? In the physics of things aside your ego (biological emotions)?

HardMirror:
it is a delicate situation. We must avoid the issue turning violent. I lived in the north in the era of the Jos crisis this can easily turn to a regional conflict. The truth is the Christians are also being mischievous. That girl truly insited the mob. She was projecting her religion to be more superior. The Christians saying she only posted about her academics are bloody liars. She was touting them and telling them Jesus was more important than Mohammed.

It is a lost course honestly. They will release those boys when the public attention dies down.

Mooh247:



I said it and I will say it again the two suspect are gone, condemned , dead and buried just as Deborah their victim... The video they made confessing their crime and also bragging about it finished them

If they Use Northern Nigeria Penal code they are getting hanged for murder

If they used Sharia court laws of Northern state,. They are getting beheaded

And if by any luck they get to use Southern Criminal code they are getting Life sentence


If only General Sani Abacha had succeeded in dealing with Emir Sanusi while he was an extremist back then and he got to face firing squad that would have been the biggest deterrence to Jungle Justice in Nigeria, but instead Sanusi killed and still became CBN governor and an Emir




.

HardMirror:
What I find very funny right now is the confusion of Christians. They know that god cannot fight for them, but they need to take pride in being the peaceful religion, so what are they going to do now? Would they continue to let muslims kill them?

PAGAN9JA:
I dont understand

MrPresident1:
The Bible is very clear in telling us that what is in the past is still the same thing that is, now.

Before World War 2 broke out, Chamberlain declared Peace and Safety

Before Russia invades Eurasia and puts the US/UK/NATO/Israeli empire to heel, there will be a declaration of Peace and Safety too.

Likely Joe Biden or Boris of London will declare it as it is the end of the Anglo-American empire and the institution of a new world order under the United nations which in itself is the Eighth beast

Revelation 17:10-12
King James Version
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Nebes:
Spirituality is not for the weak and feeble-minded. Observe my choice of words - SPIRITUALITY.
Once you start approaching the realms that is beyond our 3 dimensional world, you are in danger if your mind is not guarded. This applies to almost all religions. Ask our traditionalists if you doubt. If you keep digging deep spiritually, a time will come when you will see/hear/experience what the normal human will never experience.
My guess is that in your quest for God, you opened up a portal that was too much for your mind to carry. Your mind is just a gateway between the spiritual and this realm. You would have benefitted from a good spiritual guide.

Dude397:
In 2017 before I was diagnosed with schizophrenia I used to be a holy ghost filled tongue speaking Christian. Was reading the Bible alot. Praying aloud till my neighbors started complaining that I don't let them sleep at night because I went totally off gear. I believed I was sent to the world by God and various nonsense till I was finally admitted to the psychiatrric hospital and received treatment .

Acehart:
Jesus (Yeshua) is God. He came in bodily form. He lived as a man. He endured this like a man. Anyone who doesn’t believe He came to world, by His Omni-potency, to be a man, does so because He wouldn’t want to believe; by several occurrences in the galaxy and by testimonies of many, the atheist wouldn’t believe. The only “God” the atheist believe is his mind; the only testimony he will believe is the voice of his mind. The doctrine of the atheist is unbelief. Unless the atheist sees the creator of all things in his true form, he would not believe and even if the true form is revealed, his mind would never accept it because two captains can not steer a ship.

Image123:
i hardly have anything from then like i said already. For confessions, go for evangelical outreaches in the rural areas.

Image123:
There is. While i don't know much of their history or precolonisation fables. It's very common of them to create skirmishes, bring juju and try to disturb with weather when Christians go on outreaches or evangelism in the villages. Like i said, if they were in the majority, we go hear am. They often confess especially after receiving salvation.

Acehart:
Yeah, I mean I can't help thinking of when I have for example taking off the the top of the termite hill and I've seen termites in there all busying about building walls, looking after the Queen, caring for the pupae, clearing the nest, all busy and Partizan. Then they're all blind and they haven't the faintest idea that I am there watching what they're doing because they don't have those sense organs which would allow them to know that. I do sometimes feel
that maybe I'm lacking in some sense organ; I don't know whether there's anybody else (up there watching) involved in all this sort of thing and it's a very confident thing to say that are you’re absolutely sure that there's nothing in this world that I don't have the sense organs to appreciate- that would be my position, and Richard I don't that would say (of me), well that's rather feeble that's not being very brave and the human (those who believe there is unseen being) maybe he's got a case.

Sir David Attenborough position on the possibility of the presence of a “God” (on BBC hard talk)

Image123:
i don't know their history that much.

Image123:
We're saying the same thing.

Image123:
Go to the village and see them sending juju to others there.

Image123:
i don't know but is intolerance only limited to religion?

Image123:
A beggar has little or no choice. They are a very weak minority so you cannot say.

Image123:
Stories of firing their enemies with thunder and all sorts of juju.

Image123:
Most traditionalists and their gods are local. They had much more little idea about the extent or largeness of the world. They are mere products of humans having a spiritual void and looking for something to worship. They didn't get big spiritual revelations.
Also their master the devil hardly seemed to care until Christian evangelism came in.
For centuries, Judaism was there without evangelism but standing as a unique peculiar race. But with Christianity came evangelism and the need to save, not dominate the world.
Devil rose in opposition and introduced the other religion to forcefully counter evangelism. Just like every fake takes inspiration from the original.

A001:
It's their god. Allah, like Yahweh, wants to rule and dominate the whole world.

There's even a chapter toward the end of the Qur'an that Muslims recite praying with the belief that the whole world will one day become Muslims.

The native gods like Olohun, Osanobua, Chineke and co. didn't have such ambition and so didn't design their religion with expansionistic and global agenda.

Since such a goal can only be realized within a relatively short time with the use of force and violence, Allah and Yahweh are violent gods.

But most of their counterparts in Africa are not.

NinjaXmetahuman:
Why go into the past that's filled with human sacrifice etc when you still have traditionalists doing oro day for example which doesn't allow women to go out? Or some masquerades that do not allow women and children when they are on the move?

The oro people used to arrest women if they come out during oro day not minding if they believe in oro or not. (Ti obirin ba fi oju doro, oro agbe)

Now, would you be happy if they arrest or even kill your wife or mother in the name of oro?


Most religions are peaceful until they start gaining ground and have the backing of the law and government.

NinjaXmetahuman:
They are tolerant because they are in the miniscule minority.

Once they are in the majority, they are not different from the Islam cultist.

A001:
"One thing about Onisese(traditionalist) is that we are accommodating and tolerable to a fault.

The reason why it's like that is because Isese is too wide.

We have religion inside the religion (you will understand now).

Our religious system is created in a way that it allows us to coexist with others with different beliefs.

I believe in Ifa and I'm also an Omo Awo, I'm obligated to learn and know about Osun, Yemoja, Ogun, Obatala, Osanyin, Egbe and other Irunmole /Orisa.

I can know all these but if need be, I can still go meet those who are specialized in each Orisa for deep knowledge of it.

Someone can decide to only learn about Obatala and be a priest of the said Orisa. Nobody can stop such person from doing that as long as he/she is doing it right.

Guess what, if A Sango priest is doing festival, you will see other people who are not affiliated to Sango there eating and rejoicing with the person.

It's so sad what the world has turned to where people now kill on behalf of their Prophets.

If you have to kill to defend your religion, then you are better off without the religion in the first place.

Your religion should reflect in your character, attitude and most importantly, how you treat others.

We have thousands of religion, obviously yours alone can't be the only way to access the Supreme being.

Let's make love or language
Kindbess should be our religion.
