Naija shaaaa. When it comes to voting a muslim as president, we go come out with all the excuses… sharia, extremisim etc but when its time to spend money or relax we run to their headquarters isn't that double standard ?

The problem with Buhari is not his religion as much as it is his ideas and track record.

Prior to these most recent elections he put his name to the push for Sharia and no other issue.

He came out in defence of Boko Haram.

He refused to admit that Abacha was corrupt.

He refused to concede defeat in 2011 thus causing riots that lead to hundreds of deaths.

His manifesto was a joke, this was apparent to anyone reasonable. He has since spent the past month rescinding every promise he made to Nigerians before the election.

Fashola is also a Muslim, no one has an issue with him because of his religion. Ideas and implementation matter.

She's trying to get pregnant so that you feel compelled to marry her.

Where did you get that from?

Nah so una dey mislead people. UAE is ruled under Sharia. Nite

1. Kissing in public is strictly illegal and can result in deportation.
2. Homosexuality is illegal and is punishable by the death penalty.
3. Non-Muslims are allowed to consume alcohol in licensed venues, typically within hotels, or at home with the possession of an alcohol license.
4. Restaurants outside hotels in Dubai are typically not permitted to sell alcohol.
5. The Islamic dress code is not compulsory, but prohibitions on wearing "indecent clothing" or revealing too much skin are aspects of the UAE to which Dubai's visitors are expected to conform, and are encoded in Dubai's criminal law.
6. The UAE has enforced anti-indecency prohibitions in all public places (aside from beaches, clubs, and bars).
7. Posters and handouts in Dubai's malls inform visitors of the official dress code. At Dubai's malls, shoulders and knees should be covered and wearing sleeveless tops and shorts are discouraged.

Is this not haram? Unwed mother, minmal clothes, kissing her boyfriend.

If those laws were strictly enforced do you think that Westerners would be flocking there?

Those laws might well be on the books but there is an element of hypocrisy involved - where else are people going to be fraternizing and drinking if not in bars and hotels?

Are you seriously telling me that you don't see people (Westerners in particular) walking around in very short skirts and shorts or very tight clothing? You've never seen men and women kiss in public in Dubai?

These laws might well be on the books but if they were strictly enforced most people would not go there.

Dubai soon a no go area for under 40 babes not married or accompanied by an elderly woman Dubai is also part of Muslims headquarters albeit entertainment purposes

Only from certain countries because these women show up to sell their bodies and refuse to leave.

I don't blame them at all.

There are enough prostitutes in the Middle East.

Dubai is not the norm for a Muslim country.

They have opened up because they do not have a great deal of oil and need other revenue streams.

It might be a Muslim country in name but people drink alcohol, men and women fraternize and usury is accepted.

As for the HQ of Islam - that would be Mecca (a place where women cannot drive or seek employment without the permission of their male relatives), not Dubai.

Someone needs to remind this man that the colonial era ended many decades ago.

You are President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not the Governor General.

Your fault for not choosing a girl based on her character.

Why is he always flying to London?

The colonial era is over.

Underground bridge?

You mean underpass.


Dear OP,

It's not an 'underpass bridge'. It's an 'underpass'.

atlwireles:
Who are these progressives? Please don't kid yourself.

The people who ensure that all children have access to free schooling.

The people who have access to healthcare.

The people who ban child marriage.

The people who do not kill farmers.

The people who do not commit atrocities in the name of a Middle Eastern religion.

Those are the progressive peoples.

Whynotthetruth:
Did you not hear the man too talk about his court cases against this anomaly?
Where you not in Nigeria to see what played out with derivation for oil and restructuring in confab?

Because of the manner in which things have been structured in Nigeria it has become exceedingly difficult for progressive policies to be pushed through. Meanwhile, Sharia law was passed almost immediately after the restoration of democracy.

If the nation as a whole cannot be made to function in a reasonable manner then the nation should be divided in two - let the progressive peoples go their own way.

OrlandoOwoh:
The US Congress? Why not the UN? The last time I checked, it's the UN that guarantees self determination for countries, not the US Congress.

They need to lobby for international support before going in front of the UN.

chowlade:
cameroon claimed bakasi uptill today nothing happened beside no hausa/fulanis has ever our land except d ebo ones

Bakassi isn't part of Igboland.

International law dictated that Bakassi is part of Cameroon.

proxillin:
Actually, Ekiti people voted for Jonathan/Igbo. So hausas are just retaliating

When did Jonathan become an 'Igbo'?

Where do you people find this ignorance that you so willingly display?

Macelliot:
I have never heard of Igbos and Yorubas clash...
I only hear of
Hausa vs. Yoruba
Hausa vs. Igbo
Fulani vs. Yoruba
Fulani vs. Igbo...

---

The funniest part is that, those in Blue hate and envies themselves than those in Red.

That is the nonsense that I do no understand, what have the Igbos ever done to the Yorubas besides say a few silly words? What have the Yorubas done to the Igbos besides a few silly words?

Medical check, we all must continue praying for buhari's health to avoid moving the Aso rock to London

This is Yar'adua all over again.

hassan85:
His statements are always calculated with respect and courage. Thats presidential. God Bless Nigeria

Calculated? Like promising to stabilize the (global market) price of crude oil?

Or promising to make 1 naira equal to 1 dollar?

Or promising 5000 naira per month for the unemployed?

Or promising to resume the search for oil in northern Nigeria?

Are those 'calculated' statements?

Lest we forget - this is the same man that said that 'an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north'.

All these pple spiting out chocolates. They dnt make chocolates they make pasties of all sort. I love their vanilla muffins tho. Surprise this is happening thought they had a high standard

I know them more for their ice cream but since the introduction of Cold Stone there's no reason to go to Chocolat Royale.

Lagos has better options than Chocolat Royale.

baybeeboi:
OP, you the Mad abi?

How is Ikom a street in Calabar?

Ikom is a Local Government 3hr drive away from Calabr and you post Nonsense pictures here trying to create the impression that this is Calabar.
.
That picture was taken from Obudu Road in Ikom somewhere around Shopping center.
.
Stop deceiving people here.

Thank you for telling the truth.

I've noticed a trend on nairaland of general lying but also a mini campaign to paint Calabar as something other than what it is.

I've never seen a street in Calabar that looks like the above.

Bitcoin is the best alternative.

Skrill is no better than Paypal at the moment - I don't trust them either.

In both cases your account can/may be limited/suspended for being too successful.

No one can do that with Bitcoin, hence why it is the best option.

If you could find a way that would enable non-domiciled Nigerians to easily deposit funds into a bank account.

And you would assist with creating new accounts then you could meet your target.

Many overseas Nigerians are sick of the tax laws abroad.

If you think that any of these awards go to people that help others then you are naive.

These are the same academic institutions that employ the policy makers that have caused economic chaos and environmental destruction the world over.

NOI is in good company if she is what the author of this letter claims that she is.


P.S.
Most economists are 'text book economists' - the economists who presided over the worst global economic crisis of the post-war era were somehow unable to foresee that there would be a downturn to match the climb. Gordon Brown in the UK even proclaimed that they had put paid to the era of 'boom and bust'. The people teaching and the people learning economics are equally as clueless.

OP should state from which email address this came from.

This is how people fall prey to phishing scams.

This man is a fool.

Clearly he has forgotten about the Abacha, Babangida and Shagari eras.

Can anything good come out of the sophiscated South West

What a stupid post.

Crime is not unique to any one place.

Pavore9:
Finally! They love child-marriages but choose to be deliberately blind to the circle of poverty it oils! When their offsprings blow up their communities they look towards the 'infidels' to provide money for reconstruction!

They prefer female health professionals to attend to their women but dem no wan send their daughters go school! People living in deceit!

You made some great points.

Especially

They prefer female health professionals to attend to their women but dem no wan send their daughters go school.

This girl is a freedom fighter.

I wish her a happy life and prosperity.

That girl is insane and the OP is crazy for even thinking about it.

NgeneUkwenu:
How Will this allegation Stop Ngozi Okonjo Iweala from going to the prison?

If Amaechi got 256B then Akpabio must have pocketed 700Billion Naira!

Madam liar!

You say that based upon what?

Do you have any evidence?

amokeme:
Lol... Yoruba women don't take trash! they can display anywhere..
And as for the Chinese man, he try sha.. Even some Nigerian can't speak it like he did

Speak what?

Pidgin is not something to aspire to.

It's the language of the gutter but because many Nigerians have a crabs-in-a-bucket mentality those that speak accurate, understandable English are seen as a problem.

A language for which there are no codified rules, no script and no great texts to call upon is not something to be proud of.
