if they want to steal that is how they normally do, after stealing and their tenure come to end They will claim I am rich before becoming governor.

I live in Ibadan and I know a bit about him. He is into Oil and Gas. He had run for this position a number of times, I am not sure if not more than Buhari's. He then began heavy philanthropist campaign.

I am not from Oyo State or a politician or his fan. Lately and consistently, the tempo of his works in size, quality, and passion has not reduced. We praised Ajimobi but his works has dwarfed that. As it trends, he may want to go to Senate but that requires less voting coverage.

Anyway, I like his words. I am not saying he has not stolen. In spite of whatever he may have stolen, he has performed. If we can see five governors consecutively like him starting from Ajimobi, Oyo will be ranked with Lagos or elsewhere good.

If they don't celebrate Christmas I can't say they're wrong by not celebrating it, Jesus Christ did not command Christians to celebrate his birthday, there's no record in the Bible that the first century Christians celebrated his birthday and there's no evidence Jesus was born that day.
Actually Christmas has pagans origin

What exactly did Jesus command Christians?

yarimo:
Makinde syphoning state resourceses anyhow and yet, he was busy claiming billionaire before he became governor

But he declared ₦45 billion assets before he became governor.

webbro007:
Religion of peace,d sword of Allah shall never be defeated.

I agree with the last part of your statement.

Islam is the sword of Allah who is a Qurash god. Since the advent of Islam neither Muslims themselves among themselves nor the world have peace.


There is no peace to the wicked...,

Hi guys,

I have a problem i have been dealing with since i was 12. I am from a large family and when i was 12, my mum told me my Dad is not my biological father and for me to make it a secret. I did not know what to do with such an information at that age but i knew it was wrong but i couldnt talk so i am not the one who destroys the family. Everyone lives in peace but i always wonder what will happen if only they know the truth. My biological father has other children and some of them know me that i am outside. He was involved in my life financially from 12years as far as i am aware of. He sent me money then and i kept quiet too and also supported me financially a couple of times though we have no personal relationship asides 2-3mins phone calls here and there and it is been like that for years.

I know my biological father and we kept in touch while i was in secondary school. Now that i am an adult now, i feel really sad about the whole thing and sometimes i even cry on my bed. I have been living in secret and a double life and fearing i might be outed one day. Some people in my mother's family are aware which is very strange and i find it shameful as a man now but i did not choose my fate. I have always tried to forget it and just leave my life but it is always just there especially when i think about starting my own family. I am striving hard for it not to define the way i see marriage and life as i am trying to write a different story for myself.

I grew up with my father who is not my biological father and i have been a good son to him as well and still taking care of him but it bothers that my whole life is a lie and it is hard knowing what i know and i can't say anything as that will scatter the family. I met some girls from a very good home who i can marry but i am scared if i tell her or other girls, that her parent will not let me marry her with that secret.

I am scared of getting married publicly as someone can take the news to my biological father as i do not intend to invite him as my biological father but i always feel heavy anytime i think about it. I want to start a new life for myself but i don't know how to handle this. I do not plan to tell my father as he is getting old and this can kill him at his old age as he has been through a lot in life. He is finally enjoying and i am taking care of him very well and he prays for me all the time.

I am building a good life for myself as a professional and have a lot of girls around me but i don't know what to do. Should i keep quiet and tell the girl i marry after marriage ? Isn't that me building my marriage on deceit. It is a shameful thing to talk about if you look at it.

Sometimes, i feel like they caused me trauma putting me in this position but i am an adult now and will bear responsibility for how i live my life and cant continue to blame any trauma or anyone. I am the one who has to keep quiet for peace to reign in the family.

I don't want to wait too long just incase it is a dealbreaker for someone but i also don't want to be disclosing to anyone.

Aside from marriage, i still do not know what to do with that information.

You and your ' father ' have been deceived by two dishonest adulterous people. You later grew from innocence to an accomplice. In the court of law, you are not likely to be freed from the wrath of law after accepting money and fatherly role from another father. The others are not remorseful. One thing you have not told us is if your mother has other children with your supposed father and why she betrayed the man's trust.

You are now at a fix between your conscience and public opinion.
Practical solution:
1. Wait till one of them dies or two of them - your mummy and your foster daddy or all. Then dissociate yourself from both families and have a change of name to anything you like, even outside your tribe. It is legal.

2. Never in your life tell any girl or wife such story. It is a secret that must die with you except the truth comes out naturally.

3. Even if comes out, you an adult. You are free to choose a life to live. You can even refuse DNA test.

4. If you have a feeling for your ' father' choose him. Tell the other intruder who could not acquire your mother as a wife.

5. Free yourself from your mother's sentiment and live the life you loved to live.

6. Conclusion:
Consider yourself as a lucky child picked up from a dunghill by wicked parents but providencee decides to spare.
This is a selfish world. The others - your mother and her second husband - are enjoying the game. You are only traumatized in this matter and even if you are married to an angel, you are not likely to trust her. This is the resultant effect of this game on you.
Take a bold step.

Clearly, Muslims are the ones going to Christian hell as it is clear that Christ is God.

Is Allah, Yahweh?
If not why do they share common characteristics?

I have learned so much on this platform about Islam and their belief in the hereafter. It is clear that Christian's paradise/ heaven is different from Muslim's by qualification, type and living in them.

Hells however has one similarity - burning.

It is certain that all Muslims are going to Christian' s hell and all Christians are going to Muslim's hell for various offences.

Who is going to whose hell?

I never knew Islam does not have an appreciable presence in Ekiti like we have in Osun State. I wouldn't however agree that there is a "trend of Sharia demand" in Osun State however, nor do I think we can have religious wars, though that's not to say there might not be any at all.

In Ifon Osun for instance, we have a culture of many gods, so it's not unusual for families to have Christians and Muslims and traditional god worshippers in the same household and families, nor is it odd that a person may worship more than two. We after all have traditionally gone to church and or mosque and sacrifice a dog to Ogun and a goat to Owala, so the idea of "one god" is relatively new. I even have cousins, my aunties daughters, of three born again Christians and three head covering Muslims who grew up in the same room and love each other as siblings, so you might imagine what a religious war might be like.

As for your "possibly could be one", buda was born an atheist to Christian parents who converted many generations back on the fathers side from paganism, and on the mother's side from paganism to Islam to Christianity. Basically, they seem to have followed the latest religion when superior knowledge and a book was introduced to them, just as I have done where I live.

You are right. In òndó/ Ekiti axes, you will notice that there is nothing like governor / deputy on other sides of religion like Osun, Ogún, Oyo. Your positioning is accomplished rather than religious advantaged.

I am surprised you don't know the activities of Oluwo of Iwo, and some rascally imams and leftist Muslims clamouring for Shari'a. They started a meeting in Ekiti, they were scattered, in Ogún, people scattered them, throwing Stones at them. Then there is Cyber war going on now by some imams and concerned Yoruba culture leaning Muslims who are fighting against the institutionalizing shari'a. Just type Ile kewu yoruba, MS Baba, , Think Yoruba and a host of others.
You are lucky on your family, radicals have not read satanic verses and turn against you as we have in the North. I have a father who was a Muslim fighting his children with charm for leaving Islam.

Read this verse.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَبْدَءُوا الْيَهُودَ وَلاَ النَّصَارَى بِالسَّلاَمِ فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمْ أَحَدَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ فَاضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى أَضْيَقِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Yoruba Muslims are divided on this enslavement agenda, perhaps because Fulanis do not dominate Islam in Yorubaland. I'm from Osun State myself, and less than 10 miles from Osogbo, and I can't say I see Fulani influence amongst our Muslims. We even have a large Muslim community that has been in my Ifon Osun for many generations now, and a lot of them have become Yoruba speakers, with many not even understanding Hausa. We don't have a Fulani community however.

"The Hausa and other tribes empowering their youths with guns", is the logical outcome, unless a Nigerian government does something about their enslaved conditions and frees them from oppression. Thankfully, more awareness amongst all us Nigerians might force a different outcome, though I wouldn't count out a war since I do not expect the Fulani to peacefully give up their dominance.

Beautiful, I am from Ekiti State. Islam does not have appreciable presence as there are more towns and villages without mosques and Muslims are there are. However, the current trend of Sharia demand and awareness is becoming a thing of particular concern. Many social media influencers, opinion leaders, even among Muslims and others religious leanings are springing up to resist, create and awareness. Osun state has sizeable Muslim community, and you possibly could be one.
Those you said have become Yorubas, know their roots and are proud of them. I see SW in religious wars in the near future if the trend is not checked now.

Obiedun:
In a nutshell what I am saying here is that Hausa tribe is going to extinction but the language remains. Call about ten northerners and ask about their tribes , you will be shocked to hear that though they speak Hausa but claim to be from other tribes.

You are very right, I lived in Nasarawa State . The official language seems to be Hausa. I now discovered that there were some elderly ones that didn't understand Hausa language at all.

budaatum:
I was agreeing with you Mighty, and know "Hausa themselves are crying for freedom from Fúlàní domination", and that's why I said "when" as in When Will Northern Nigeria Know Peace, since it's a matter of time.

What I'm now finding is we on Nairaland are becoming more aware that we shouldn't consider Hausa and Fulani as one people, and that pleases me immensely.

P.s. You might find me posting this invaluable resource you've educated me with. Note, and thanks.

I understand you. Fúlànís have been persistent in enshrining what they did in the North in Yorubaland for 400 years. Yoruba Muslims are divided on this enslavement agenda and people are being educated about another war as it happened in the battle of o Oṣogbo in 1840.

The North, non - Fúlànís are waking up to take back their heritage. For now, the Middle Belt is not having it easy with Fúlànís.

Something is about to happen. I am afraid, the Hausa and other tribes may empower their youths with guns as Fúlànís. These people would want to fight rather than silent annihilation.

No

budaatum:
No, Mighty, not "may not", but when. And because people like you are beginning to educate the rest of us that Fulani the coloniser, is not Hausa the colonised.

In fact, Sparrows like you will eventually educate the rest of us to stop saying Fulani-Hausa, since it's as oxymoronic as saying Igbo-Yoruba.

Are you a stranger in Nigeria? Hausa themselves are crying for freedom from Fúlàní domination.

Why Northern Nigeria May Not Know Peace After the Jihad of Uthman dan Fodio

For decades, Northern Nigeria has been trapped in cycles of violence—banditry, insurgency, communal clashes, religious extremism, and deep mistrust among peoples who share the same land. Governments change, military operations come and go, yet peace remains elusive. To understand why, one must look beyond present-day politics and confront an uncomfortable historical reality: the unresolved legacy of the 19th-century jihad of Uthman dan Fodio.
This is not an attack on Islam as a faith, but a critical examination of how religion was historically used as a tool of conquest—and how the consequences of that conquest continue to haunt the region.
Religion Recast as a Weapon for Land Acquisition
The jihad led by Uthman dan Fodio was framed as a religious reform, but in practice it became a means of territorial expansion. Islamic doctrine was reinterpreted to justify war against existing rulers—many of whom were already Muslims—and against non-Muslim indigenous communities.
Through this redefinition, land seizure and political domination were presented as divine mandates. Entire territories were conquered, not through consent or dialogue, but through the sword, leaving behind a precedent where religion validated force rather than peace.
Subjugation of Indigenous Peoples and Imposed Authority
The outcome of the jihad was the establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate and the emirate system, which imposed Fulani rulership over diverse ethnic nationalities. Many indigenous peoples became subjects in their own ancestral lands, governed by rulers they neither chose nor culturally identified with.
This forced hierarchy entrenched inequality and resentment. The conquered remembered their loss; the conquerors institutionalized their victory. Without reconciliation, domination became tradition, and injustice became normalized.
The Silent Cry of Innocent Blood
The jihad was accompanied by mass killings, enslavement, forced displacement, and coerced conversions. Communities were destroyed, families uprooted, and cultures suppressed. Yet history moved on without justice, apology, or restitution.
In African moral consciousness, spilled innocent blood does not simply disappear—it cries out. When violence is not acknowledged or healed, it reproduces itself. Today’s chaos can be seen as the echo of yesterday’s unresolved injustice.
Indoctrination and the Birth of Violent Movements
The ideological foundation laid by the jihad did not end in the 19th century. Over time, it evolved into a culture where violence could still be justified in the name of religion.
Modern bandits, insurgents, and extremist groups may not consciously invoke dan Fodio, but they operate within a worldview he helped normalize—one where faith can excuse bloodshed and coercion. When such ideas meet poverty, weak governance, and easy weapons, terror becomes inevitable.
Awakening and the Crisis of Legitimacy
Across Northern Nigeria, many indigenous communities are beginning to reassess their history. There is a growing realization that Islam, for their forebears, often arrived not as a free spiritual choice but as a tool of conquest and control.
This awakening is destabilizing long-standing power structures. Traditional authorities lose moral legitimacy. Religious narratives are questioned. What follows is tension—between rulers and the ruled, history and truth, imposed identity and recovered memory.
A Future of Perennial Violence?
Unless this historical foundation is honestly confronted, Northern Nigeria may continue to bleed. Military solutions alone cannot fix a moral and historical problem. Development projects cannot heal centuries-old wounds.
Peace cannot be built on denial. Where conquest is glorified, victims forgotten, and history manipulated, violence will regenerate itself in new forms. Without truth, justice, and structural reform, instability will remain the norm rather than the exception.
Conclusion
Northern Nigeria’s crisis did not begin with Boko Haram or banditry; it began with a violent reordering of society that was never reconciled. The jihad of Uthman dan Fodio reshaped the region through force, leaving behind deep fractures that still define power, identity, and conflict.
If peace is ever to come, it must begin with historical honesty—acknowledging how religion was abused, how peoples were subjugated, and how unresolved injustice fuels today’s violence. Only truth can lay the foundation for lasting peace.

This is the clear message of the messenger. Salalahu Alehi Wahala.

Where did your stone come from?



The stone was an object of worship before Islam. Pagans used to tawaf it before Islam. Isaiah had a vision and Christian doctrines are not built on personal experiences.


The stone was stolen for twenty years. Do you mean Allah did not forgive sins during the time the stone was missing?

I think Muhammadu Buhari wanted to kpai this sheik before

How does this affect the personal development and economic growth of Sokoto state?



I expect the husband to sponsor mass wedding for 5000 couples by the New Year.

Thisisa:
Well I cause this myself

I trusted this set of people now they turn against me

Genuine repentance and courage to make amends with humility is the key. Just humbly make amends. I tell you, you will earn more respect than just keeping quiet and wait for time to heal. The scare may be a serious sore at a very time of need.

Humbly apologize to the people concerned. They will forgive.

South East has joined parasitic region of Nigeria.

You got clarity, na man you be.

I can't lie or pretend. We vibe we vibe, we nor vibe go your way with respect and dignity.

When you realize your standards in life, you will never settle for less.

You get it.when men form what they are not, they tell lies. When you as a woman asked me what I don't want to answer, I simply keep mute. I have never ever taken any woman issues as a do or die matter. I am married, before and in marriage my wife or any woman knows that I don't give a damn. I respect people, women at that. To make me claim what I am not, tell you what I am not or promise what I don't have. I don't do that.

I believe weak men do that.

Nonsense, no woman can make me lie.

I am a man of principle. I don't womanize, double - date. If you are not making sense, I simply dump you and move on.

I knew it, Nigeria will never be among.

This is what they should be doing rather than kidnapping innocent souls.

For IQ, Nigeria no show.

For stealing, Nigeria no dey carry last
