Eleph: Injustice everywhere! The Palestinians deserves the rights to live and exist. Palestinians deserve and exist if the Islamists will allow for peace. In the eyes of Iran and her cohorts, Israel should be annihilated. And this Israel provides the electricity, water and necessary amenities. People have been asking for a sovereign Palestinians state, Israel will never agree to that. The terrorists will now use the advantage to launch attacks on Israel. Remove the hands of the war mangers, Palestinians and Israelis will live together peacefully. |

The summary is that the north is not to be trusted. The deception and desperation for power has become an obsession that the strategy of gun and ballots are lopsided
In the time of MKO Abíọ́lá, the most transparent election was annulled for no just cause. To show how mean, the man was neutralized. El - Rufai, a northern vanguard of this time is the arrowhead of the gang up which may not be at public glare now. More drama to unfold.
My own observation and take is the disunity amongst the south. They each believe that an alliance with the core north is a political king in Chess game of politics. Whereas, the northern political class ride on the docility of the Christian north who are themselves suffering. Tinubu should find a way to destroy this political structural imbalance. By all means possible. |

Editorialtimes: Kogi State Unveils Land Use Charge Law to Boost Revenue Amid Mixed Reactions
The Executive Chairman of Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS), Sule Salihu Enehe, has officially launched the implementation of the Land Use Charge Law, 2024. This initiative, aimed at enhancing the state’s revenue generation, is expected to drive sustainable development and improve public infrastructure.
Speaking at the unveiling, Enehe described the Land Use Charge as more than just a levy but a strategic investment in better infrastructure, enhanced public services, and a stronger economic future for Kogi State. According to him, the legislation represents a crucial step towards fostering data-driven governance, expanding job opportunities, and strengthening revenue collection for the state government.
“The Land Use Charge is not just a levy; it is an investment in better infrastructure, improved public services, and a greater future for all Kogi residents. This legislation is a crucial step towards enhancing revenue generation for the government, fostering data-driven decision-making, and paving the way for smart city development and job creation in Kogi State,” Enehe stated.
He further emphasized that the ongoing tax reforms aim to streamline revenue collection, promote transparency, and ensure that all stakeholders contribute their fair share to the state’s growth. He urged residents to embrace the initiative, noting that its successful implementation would enable the government to execute more impactful projects that will benefit businesses, communities, and future generations.
“With the successful launch of the Land Use Charge Demand Notice today, we are reaffirming our commitment to accountability, transparency, and efficiency in revenue administration. A well-structured revenue system is the foundation of good governance, and by supporting this initiative, Kogites will be empowering the government to build a more prosperous state,” Enehe added.
Mixed Reactions from Residents
While the initiative is designed to boost state revenue, some residents have expressed concerns over its timing and implementation. Speaking to The Bureau Newspaper, residents who preferred to remain anonymous stated that the government should have embarked on tangible infrastructural development before enforcing such charges.
As the government moves forward with the implementation of the Land Use Charge Law, there is a growing call for authorities to address infrastructural deficits and ensure that the generated revenue translates into visible development for the people. Whether the initiative will gain widespread acceptance remains to be seen, as many residents continue to demand improvements in basic services before embracing the new tax policy.

What exactly is one meant to comprehend from reading the above other than what is in fact stated as-is written?  According to verse 91: You see am so? Pharaoh was once disobedient, not submitting to Allah (not a Muslim); but, now he(Pharaoh changed his mind, submitted to Allah, became a Muslim. The thing is crystal clear. |

Lukuluku69: I believe that there is no god but Allah in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am also one of those who submit to Allah. The Quran 10:90
The king answered Daniel, and said, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret." -- Daniel 2:47 KJV Bible
Tell me the difference in both statements. Does Nebuchadnezzar also worship Jehovah and practiced Judaism since Daniel was a Jew and of that Faith? I like your logic: Jas.2.19 - Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.That simply means that Shytan and jinns are Muslims because they believe in one God. Satan is a Muslim.    |
Christianity Etc › Re: Pharaoh Was A Muslim by MightySparrow(op): 7:09pm On Mar 12, 2025 |
MaxInDHouse: The problem is Islam in itself a believer in one god is a Muslim (according to Islam) whoever agrees that there is only one God is automatically a Muslim but that's not the truth. Pharaoh believe in many gods but he quickly released the Israelites when he realized that the God who sent Moses is mightier than all the Gods in Egypt. Now to an average Muslim that submission automatically qualifies Pharaoh to be called a Muslim. Muslims can't prove the OP wrong on this since fighting and killing fellow believers means nothing to Muslims so far both sides are fighting for a just course in their hearts.  Thanks for your comment. I only posted what is written in their Quran. No addition. No subtraction. No modification. For instance, everybody knows that maximumSide is of Jehovah's Witnesses and you are bold, exxited,willing, and happy to declare that. Pharaoh here as revealed by angel Gabriel did confess without a blush that he was a Muslim. The Quran testifies to this confession. I don't anything clumsiness in the statement. Yet, no Muslim has answered my question: ' Allah sent Pharaoh a Muslim to annihilate Israel, the non - Muslim nation. At the red Sea Allah drowned his servant and saved his enemies. Why? |

When you show something from Hadith, they will either say it is daif not sahih or they will say they don't believe in Hadiths. If you show something from tasfir, they will disown the Imams. Some will say they only believe in Quran. When you show Quran, they will deny that it not their Quran. The Quran qouted here is sahih international. |

MaxInDHouse: Ungodly traditions should be done away with once a person becomes a Christian this further buttress my point that you're not a Christian at all because whether the person is Hausa, Fulani or Yorùbá such traditions can't be anymore once a person has accepted Christ. Or do you think your Christian brother from the north are beggars by tradition? Ọmọ you think like a mule because here in Lagos there are beggars from all tribes what i can boldly beat my chest to say is that none is a witness of Jehovah! Psalms 23:1; 37:25 I lived in some parts of the north, I never met any Christians doing babiyah Allah in the name of Jesus. So in some parts of Yoruba land where people are giving to begging, it is part of their culture not because they are Christians or Muslims. As an Ekiti man that I am, I know you can't do that. Shame and fear of your family will not allow you. |

Verse 90 from surah Yunus ﴿۞ وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قَالَ آمَنتُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا الَّذِي آمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ﴾ [ يونس: 90]
English - Sahih International 10:90 And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims." Surah Yunus in Arabic
The reason Allah wants to exterminate the children of Israel is because they were not Muslims and He sent a Muslim king to kill them. The same agenda was passed down to Mohammed and his followers till date.
The question now is: who defended Israelites in the Red Sea against Pharaoh? |
