Crime › Re: South African Man, Girlfriend Caught Hiding Stolen Wine Bottles Inside Underwear by merits(m): 4:58pm On Feb 02, 2025
Rebuker:
A South African man and his girlfriend have caused a stir online after being caught hiding several bottles of assorted wine inside their underwear.

When apprehended, the woman was asked to remove all the bottles she had concealed in her pants. Shockingly, she kept pulling them out one by one until she had placed six bottles on the ground. She was then asked to step aside while security searched her boyfriend.

Upon searching the man, additional bottles of wine were also recovered.

People online have been left wondering how the woman managed to hide such a large number of bottles and still walk normally.

Recently, I explored the efficacy of AI and comparing China’s DeepSeek and America’s ChatGPT.

Guess what I found

DeepSeek far outclass ChatGPT with in-depth performance results

No need for any long distance effort in research anymore.
AI will make everyone simply lazy
The deepseek is top notch 👌👌 and second to none,outclass the ChatGBT.
Christianity Etc › Re: Pastor and Church Members Publicly Destroy Bibles, Claiming Inaccuracies (Video) by merits(m): 1:35pm On Feb 02, 2025
Biznesworld:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r4OoWAF0fQ

A pastor and his church members gathered to destroy their Bibles.

The pastor and his members felt misled by the Bible and decided to destroy it as a form of protest ignorantly.

The pastor claimed the Bible had deceived them for over 400 years now. He questioned the Bible's authenticity, saying some parts are missing and incorrect, siting some examples.

He made several misleading claims: that some Bible portions are missing, that the Bible's portrayal of God is untrue, and that the Bible contains bad things despite being called "holy."

Additionally, the pastor criticized the Bible's origins, specifically King James' involvement.
He viewed King James as a slave trader and disagreed with his role in translating the Bible.

However, the pastor's arguments and that of his church members, were based on misinformation and a lack of understanding.

This incident serves as a warning: we must be cautious about the churches we attend, the messages we hear and the pastors we follow. Misguided leaders can alter our perceptions of life and God, leading us astray.

Watch the video to hear more reasons he has to say.

A fake lawyer who has been impersonating a dead man, to dupe unsuspecting land buyers in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State was nabbed, after his atrocities were revealed. He has been conniving with land agents to commit crime. He claimed to have attended Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma in Edo State, but when he was asked questions about the school, he couldn't say anything meaningful. He also couldn't say anything about the law school he attended. Neither could he identify his lecturers and schoolmates. He was beaten blue black before he was handed over to the police.

I don't know how old he was then but that evil man was no young man consumed by crime as his lawyer would have us believe. The man set a terrible precedence for kidnapping of regular hardworking people with the 'kidnapper billionaire' name becoming a fancy title for criminals. Very wicked person whose crime has made it unsafe for regular people to enjoy their hard work and now, other criminals have taken How To Kidnap People 101 tutorial from his School of Hard Locks. If he was young and lost in crime, he wouldn't build a family and invest his money the way he did. It was intentional and calculated. No mercy for someone who steals sleep from other people. I know Nigerians have amnesia and love to pity people after sometime in the name of faux forgiveness but I'm very sure the families of those he kidnapped will not forget the pain he put them in.

Lukgaf:
Shariah Law in Southwestern Nigeria: Clearing the Misconceptions and call for tolerance and coexistence


The recent opposition to the establishment of Shariah courts in southwestern Nigeria—particularly in Oyo, Ekiti, and Ogun States—is yet another example of non-Muslim resistance to Islamic rights and practices.

This is not new. We have seen the same pattern before:

1. When Muslim students wanted to wear hijab in schools, they faced fierce opposition, even though it did not affect non-Muslims. Alhamdulillah, the Supreme Court has upheld their right to do so.
2. When Islamic banks like Jaiz were introduced, they were met with criticism. But today, many non-Muslims are customers of non-interest banking.
3. When Sukuk bonds (a Shariah-compliant financial instrument) were introduced, there was an outcry. Today, the Nigerian government and businesses rely on them for infrastructure funding.

Yet, after all the noise, many of these same critics eventually embrace what they once condemned.

This raises important questions:

- Why do non-Muslims feel so threatened by practices that are exclusively for Muslims and do not affect them?

- Why is there such an obsession with opposing Islamic initiatives when they are not compulsory for non-Muslims?

- Why is it difficult to allow Muslims the freedom to practice their faith in a way that aligns with their beliefs?

Shariah courts are not mandatory for non-Muslims. They are a constitutional right for Muslims who prefer to handle personal affairs like marriage, divorce, and inheritance through Islamic law. As highlighted by Barrister Muideen Olagunju, the only type of Shariah applicable in the Southwest is Muslim Personal Law, covering: marriage and marital issue such as divorce, inheritance and maintenance.

Currently, while Islamic marriage is recognized by law, Muslims who want to divorce must go through customary courts, where the judges may not even be Muslims. Similarly, if a Muslim dies and the family goes to court, the property must be shared according to Yoruba customary law (e.g., Idi Igi or Ori Ojori), instead of the Islamic inheritance system, which ensures fair distribution beyond just wives and children.

The unfairness here is not the establishment of Shariah courts, but the denial of a legal system that allows Muslims to practice their religion fully.

What Shariah Law is NOT
Shariah courts in the Southwest will NOT impose Islamic law on non-Muslims.
Shariah courts will NOT replace the existing legal system.

Non-Muslims are NOT affected in any way.

Just as Christians are not forced to use Shariah courts, Muslims should also not be forced to use customary courts that do not align with their religious beliefs. Is that not fair?

Many developed countries where Muslims are a minority allow Islamic arbitration for Muslims. Yet, in Nigeria—a country where Muslims are at least 50% of the population—why is it a problem when Muslims request their rights?

It is time to let go of baseless fear and unnecessary opposition. Just as Christians have their rights, Muslims also have theirs, and neither should interfere with the other. Live and let live.

The reality is, just like the hijab case, if this opposition continues, it will eventually go to the Supreme Court, which will affirm the right of Muslims to have Shariah courts. So why create unnecessary conflict when peaceful engagement can resolve the issue?

Let us respect each other’s beliefs and allow all citizens to exercise their constitutional rights.

May Allah guide us all to truth and justice. Ameen.
