There goes one of d Les Gullibles

You think name calling is going to mask the ignorance you carry about that sticks out like a sore thumb? Once again, Aishat Buhari is the wife of the President. Being the wife of the President and having an office of the First Lady are two different concepts.The latter means that the occupant of such office has all the paraphernalia of an official government position. Moreover, I have never heard Aishat being referred to as the First lady. She is always referred to as the wife of the President.

Also, do you think that as the wife of the President, she can't accompany her husband on a journey?

What you have between your ears are for the purpose of thinking; use it.

Cheers.

Quick question, op: Have you filed the case in the court of law? Yes? Can I see the proof of such being done? Or does this end on NL as the usual threats we are used to?

Cheers.

Nbote:
In d voice of APC during d elections and in d early days of d presidency "There's nothing like d Office of d first Lady in d constitution"

Yeah, there isn't. Aishat Buhari is just the wife of the President.

Why do people type in such annoying way?

Ikwokrikwo:
Can Yoruba Muslims now see why Igbos attack OkoroAwusa?

The way you folks try to divide Yorubas between 'Yoruba Muslims' and 'Yoruba Christians' is so funny. You really think the average Yoruba man makes political decisions based on religion? In Yoruba land, family takes precedence before religion, not to talk of politics.

Go on with the phrase because it's just one of the ways y'all think Yorubas can be divided.

Cheers.

Happy birthday to you, naptu2. May your days be blessed and may you continue to serve us from your stream of knowledge, sir.

Damn!

Ebimor96:
APC has made the Nigerian Police the most unprofessional institution in the whole wide world.

Does this mean that the Nigeria Police was a professional institution prior to 2015? Did they just become unprofessional when APC came?

Lukonline:
Arabic word for God is illah. While the Arabic word for the one true God is Allah. You should be OK now

You're mixing it up. The Arabic word for god or deity is ilah while Allah is the Arabic word for God.

Habyz:
What is the Arabic word for God?

I have asked this too and no one has answered me.

Olabenjamen22:
Lol, Your brain should have tell you that this matter is not a matter of language but a matter of the entity behind that name, actually did i need to spit it for you one by one.
1. Arab have manying gods even before the establishment of your Islam, and last i check your prophet father name mean slave of Allah, and last i check he was an idol high priest, or am i lieing? This really show the reason why you people cannot call your god in another language, since he is an idol, lol

Of all the gods the Arabs had before Islam, tell me one that was named Allah? What you people want to ignore is that Allah means God in Arabic. As regards the prophet's fathers name, if not that you have closed your mind to knowledge, you would have known that that singular act proves that Allah is the Arabic term for God. It's just like an Ifa or Obatala worshiper naming his son Olorunfemi or Oluseun. It wasn't as if the idolaters did not know there existed God, they just believed they could reach him via their numerous deities. This Supreme Being was called Allah in their language. Even before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) became a prophet, he was always spending time thinking about a Supreme Being. You cannot even dissociate the Arabic language from this, no matter how you try. There are Arabs who are Christians. What name do you think they call God in their language?

Olabenjamen22:
Then why are you people trying to link your allah to Yahweh, Olorun e.t.c since your Allah told you he only understand arab i.e he is not the god for other language.

Oh please! Save yourself from ignorance and read. Who told you Allah only understands Arabic? I guess you reached this fallacy of a conclusion because Muslims pray in Arabic. Are you saying then that non-Arab Muslims are not Muslims? A Yoruba Muslim could pray to Allah in his language by saying Olorun and he would be referring to Allah. If you are not dogmatic, you would know that Allah means Olorun. It is a fact and whether you accept it or not is your own problem.

Olabenjamen22:
Lol, well am only trying to clear your fake relationship with Yahweh and Olodunmare, i don't care about your religion, if you like add yoga to your gymnastic exercise, i care less, just stop linking your stupidity with my religion. Peace

You don't care about my religion yet here you are in a thread strictly for Muslims. You clicked on the declaration before you could comment on this thread and you mean to tell me you don't care about my religion. Who is then the stupid one? Whether you accept it or not, it is your personal problem; Allah means God and God means Allah. Only difference between the two words is the language they are written in.

It's just like a Yoruba man telling an Igbo man that Chineke is different from Olorun.

Olabenjamen22:
Lol, what you muslim don't understand is that you cannot cover lie with lie, the truth will always prevail.
Well you claim your allah is the same as God while from your oat you people wrote
"I believe that there is no god/God but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet"
Note the upper case, lol am not the one that wrote that oo.
Actually i will begin to take you guys serious once you start calling your morning prayer in your traditional language(Note:- using the name of God in your dialect to call prayer). Lol.

Quick one- What's God called in Arabic?

Concerning the bolded part, you think Muslims give a Bleep about whether you take them serious because they call prayers in Arabic? You must really overestimate yourself. A group of people are following what their religion says about calling to prayer and you think they're concerned about what someone, who's not even a Muslim, thinks about it. Hahahahahahahah.

einsteine:
Stop claiming legal genius. The criminal code says the MAXIMUM penalty for armed robbery is death. It didn't say that the punishment for armed robbery must be death. Usually, the maximum penalty is given to either repeat offenders or those who have been proven to have committed murder in the process of robbery. In this case, he could have gotten a jail term if the judge was in her right senses.

And you are here talking about ignorance. What do you think you know?

Oh! Here's a man who wasn't in the courtroom, isn't even a judge and relies only on a news article making conclusions on a case he knows nothing about.

For your information, attached is a screenshot of what the Lagos state Criminal Law (which was used in this case) says about the punishment for armed robbery. Notice that Section 295(2) a & b specifically talk about armed robbery.


Now, who's the ignorant one? It's certainly not me.

sweetkev:
Allah and God are different

Really? What's the difference between Allah and God, please?

Please explain.

mirabel001:
Allah is no God...he is an Arabic gods

Please what's God called in Arabic?

In Yoruba, God is called Olorun. In Igbo, He's called Chineke. In Efik, He's called Abasi.

What's He called in Arabic?

iyke926:
Don't try to brainwash me, my Muslim brother. Please can you explain what you understand by the sentence below


My Uncle told me grape/vine tastes nasty but tangerines are better.

No one is trying to brainwash you here, except you have closed your mind to new knowledge.

To understand my point better, check out the principles of henotheism and polytheism. While henotheism believes in the worship of a single deity but acknowledges that other deities exist, a polytheist worships various deities at the same time believing that each deity has its own functions and responsibilities.

The statement, 'There's no god except Allah' that we Muslims profess negates both henotheism and polytheism. This is because we believe that there is only one God
-> who has all the responsibilities polytheists assume other gods have and
-> whose existence rubbishes the existence of other gods like henotheists believe.

iyke926:
If Allah is God, how come someone wrote this sh!t below

"I believe that there is no god/God but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet."

Because in the times past (and even now), many people believe that there are many gods. Many believe in Zeus, Thor, Sango, Ogun, Amadioha amongst other. What the statement you wrote means is that all those other gods aren't valid except only one God.

PS: Allah is the Arabic term for God; just like Olorun means God in Yoruba language.

Mynd44:
Stop confusing yourself. In (a), it says "or" which means that (b) is a continuation.

In essence, if the offender is armed with any weapon or if not with a weapon but inflicts wounds on the victim, the punishment is death

Oh! I just understood that part better. Thanks for the clarification. Apparently, the concluding part of 402 subsection 2 was in b.

dfrost:
Chapter 36
Stealing with Violence: Extortion by Threats


401. Any person who steals anything, and, at or immediately before or immediately after the time of stealing it, uses or threatens to use actual violence to any person or property in order to obtain or retain the thing stolen or to prevent or overcome resistance to its being stolen or retained, is said to be guilty of robbery.

402. (1) Any person who commits the offence of robbery shall upon conviction be sentenced to imprisonment for not

(2) If-

(a) any offender mentioned in subsection (1) of this section is armed with any firearms or any offensive weapon or any obnoxious or chemical materials or is in company with any person so armed; or

(b) at or immediately before or immediately after the time of robbery, the said offender wounds any person, the offender shall upon conviction be sentenced to death

Concerning the bolded part, although it wasn't stated in the article, it is a high probability that the victim was wounded especially if he resisted. The suspect might have used the butt of his gun to hit him or slapped him. If this happened, violence is established and bodily injury can be present.

dfrost:
It's actually Section 402, Part 2b .

Lol. I just confirmed that too. I made a mistake. Apologies.

Esepayan:
Shut up

Firstly, the judge based her judgement on the Lagos State Criminal Law. Secondly, it is stated in the New article that the suspect locked up the victims after the robbery. Depending on the lawyers, they can spin this to mean that he wounded his victim. According to the Lagos State law, once violence is used during the robbery, its punishment is death sentence. Violence can range from hitting the victim with the butt of the gun, slapping the victims, beating up the victims among other means of perpetuating violence.

All these were not stated in the new article but they are all possible during a robbery operation, especially if the victim resists.

Esepayan:
Abeg shut up stop typing trash there is no were in the constitution that approves death sentence of armed robbery.

You know it's not cool to display ignorance in public like you just did.

Check Section 401 of the Criminal Code Act and read before you choke on that morsel of ignorance.

dfrost:
No problem. Understood. Please refer me to where I can source that information. I'll to quote authoritatively next time and not out of context.

Section 401 of the Criminal Code Act is the source of the information.

Olukat:
Well I'm not a lawyer but I think this judgement may not stand at the Appeal court.
The type of arm is not in contention but was the arm put to use?
What happens to those armed with pen?

Please check the meaning of 'armed'. The armed being referred to here is the one that involves the use of threats and violence.

dfrost:
I understand you can educate people in what they don't know. I'll accept the tag “ignorant fool” just to learn.

Mynd44, please quote the section in the constitution. I'll check it up. Thanks in advance.

Check Section 401 of the Criminal Code Act. It's captioned "Stealing with Violence: Extortion by Threats".

dfrost:
The question is: did he kill his victim? Nobody is supporting crime but capital punishment? A government official will steal money and get plea bargain. What an irony.

I'll have to read my copy of the constitution again to know the punishment for armed robbery.

He didn't have to kill someone before he's sentenced. The court works by the law and not what some people believe is right.

The punishment for armed robbery according to Nigeria's Criminal Code is death.

Mynd44:
The punishment for armed robbery is death.

See, if you arm yourself with stones and rob someone, punishment is death. The Appeal court will affirm it

Many don't understand this. Even if you arm yourself with slippers and use it to threaten someone to hand over his property, it's armed robbery.

The ignorance on this thread is sickening.

engrkaz:
even at that....death sentence in too much for d offences committed... Death for conspiracy and death for robbery!!!

Well, not in the eyes of the law.

zombieHUNTER:
Welcome to zoogeria
Where buhari the minister of petroleum in collaboration with the GMD of NNPC have siphoned billions of dollars.
And they are seen as heroes

While those who steal phones and laptops are sentenced to death....

Chronic zombies over to you....
Derail the thread to deceive lower grade of zombies

Do you know what the law says about armed robbery and its punishment?

I'm looking forward to later this month for his court date. What will the court do if he doesn't show in court?

Jarus:
The only thing that catches my attention here is, she wrote in flawless English. Very rare to see a Nollywood actress write 3 paragraphs without bullets.

Especially those in the Yoruba genre.

sshalom:
All the points noted by the Minister are more than enough to get the GMD suspended for full investigation. Let's wait and see what PMB will do.

One thing I can guarantee is that nothing would be done by Buhari. It's not possible for the GMD to be doing all these without the tacit approval of the president.
