Alubosa:


Reasons why u need to get to the airport atleast 2hrs before ur departure time.

2 hours at the airport before departure has nothing to do with those guys, they will still ask the stupid questions.
if you arrive airport 2 hours before your flight unless you've checked in online, you may probable miss that flight.

agarawu23:


They will only ask these question if you are traveling with a virgin passport. Once they see your passport with many stamps, the question will reduce..

Two months ago, one guy in the airport was trying to play me but I didn't say anything. Where to? Who are you going with? What's in your bag? Are you a student or worker ? ( he then stretch his hand demanding for my passport, when he opened it, he was like "eleyi ti pe loko o " meaning "this one don tey for farm o" facing his co workers ) I cant laugh because I pretended as if I didn't heard what he was saying . he just give me my passport sharp sharp. I was like werey, shishi I know get

You for embarrass them with #100 note

Anybody going to Hamburg from Nigeria this weekend, please PM me.

I can remember, throughout my childhood, all the times my parents fought over money issues, living situations and the like.

I remember living in the project homes on the South Central side of Chicago with almost nothing to eat.

With a family of 10 it was hard for my father to support the family in the most desirable fashion.

Difficult Youth

My father was a hard-working man, although he spent most of his time drinking away our family income and beating my mom, I still love my father. My father comes from Irish and German background, he has a sort of 'back home' old-fashion way of living.

Whenever he would come home drunk or just upset about something he would come to me and my younger brother and lay it out on us until he had nothing else to do.


Many times I could not even walk or breathe from all of the blows. Of course I had to be the one who got it most because I was older and any rap my brother gave I would take his whack as well. This was most of my childhood.

Then came my teenage years. With everything happening around me, such as girlfriends, flings, boozing, bars, drugs, etc. I just could not allow myself to be a part in any of it. It just didn't feel right.

My brother was one of the biggest drug dealers in Chicago. Many a day he would bring his stash home to sell locally.

He knew my views on the whole idea and when he left one day, I took about $1,000 of drugs he had stashed away and flushed it down the toilet. When he found out, I swear, he wanted to kill me; and he would have if he had the chance. Of course I was the one who my parents took it out on because I was older and I should have taught him better.

Search for Knowledge

That made me realize how fragile life can be. I didn't want to die an idiot, so I began studying anything and everything. I couldn't take my face out of a book unless I put it in another.

You have to realize something about my family, they are very competitive toward one another. Once they see the other person advancing they want to stop you in your tracks and allow you to go no further.

My parents had mixed feelings of my personal studies. They were worried that I might become brainwashed or follow some cult. They were right in one thing, I became a Nazi in 1994. I loved the fact that Hitler had thousands of people under his control. It made me feel important...like I was somebody. My father was pleased with the whole idea.

Back in the 60's when Martin Luther King Jr. was getting everyone fired up about his 'dream' my father was planning on getting rid of all of the blacks in the Chicago land area. In fact when Martin Luther King Jr. had marched through Marquette Park and Sherman Park on the South West side, my father had formed a gang, (the gang) that not only threw the blacks out but also caused a white against black war. That day my father hit Martin Luther King in the nose with a brick and to this day he brags about it.

Shortly after this incident, Charles Manson and his crazy family were starting their secret mission. He was another who I admired and wanted to be like. While in the Nazi's I had witnessed the 60's all over again. I was there when they organized the attack on the little 11 year old black boy walking in a white neighborhood in Chicago (around 1997). They would have killed him but they wanted to leave a sign. Upon seeing these things I knew that I didn't fit in any more.

The First Turning Point
I swear I really hated Muslims like you would not believe. Many say it is due to the media, well yes, it is a part of the madness, ...

In 1995 I had met the first girl I could ever say I had loved. Even though I had a perfect opportunity to do whatever I wanted with her, I didn't. I couldn't allow myself to be completely intimate with someone who I wasn't married to.

A few months afterward I had proposed to her and for a little over 3 years we remained engaged without being sexually active. We both understood that more problems would occur. Being with this woman, I was able to become who I wanted to be. I studied and studied and began to realize my life and its purpose. I knew that I was missing something, I mean I really knew but I couldn't put my finger on it, but I would not give up searching.

The more I read the more my parents were drawn back. As I had pointed out that my family is very competitive, they began mentally attacking me with how bad a child I was and how ungrateful a person I am for their shelter and food they supply me with.

My parents never graduated high school, in fact they both only made it through the 8th grade and dropped out of the 9th. Therefore their education is obviously limited. All they know is what they see on TV and see from the behavior of people. I have to admit, from my parents raising me the way they did, I honor their discipline and give them absolute gratitude for what they did for me. They forced me to become a man. I had my first job at the age of 12.

At the age of 13 I was working full time making just as much as they. By the age of 16 I had my 1st apartment. I cooked, cleaned, washed my own laundry, did my own shopping and was preparing myself to get married.

From the point of view that my parents judged people by their actions, I agreed with them and I still do. But that caused me to hate Muslims and Islam. I swear I really hated Muslims like you would not believe. Many say it is due to the media, well yes, it is a part of the madness, but mostly it is the own fault of the Muslims.

The Muslims are the ones who have destroyed the reputation of Islam to a point that others hate us and we don't even know what we believe any more. It's sad but true. I have to tell you that most immigrants who enter into this country to make money are the number one accusers of spoiling the true image of Islam.

The Most Precious Gift

In 1997 my fiancée had given me the Quran as a gift, simply because I loved to read.

Just to show you how much I hated the Muslims... Well when she gave me the Quran it caused a fight between us and we had separated for quite some time. Eventually I had picked it up and began reading it. I can remember that very day. The house was crystal clean, the air was soft and sweet and the lighting was dim and perfect for reading. It was the translation from Abdullah Yusuf Ali.

I read his introduction, the first 3 pages, and I began to cry like a baby. I cried and cried and I couldn't help myself. I knew that this was what I was looking for and I wanted to beat myself to death for not finding it earlier. I just knew in my heart how magical it was.

This was not the Islam I knew. This was not the Arab thing I was taught to think was dirty. This was my life wrapped up in a few pages. Every page told my life. I was reading my soul and it felt good, but regretful.

After this I had reunited with my fiancée and we discussed the whole matter maturely. Shortly afterward we both accepted Islam and were willing to live our lives as Muslims, even if it meant separately.

When my parents found out all hell broke loose. My father had threatened to take my life. He said, "You were born Catholic and so help me God I will make sure you die Catholic......"

My mother's reaction was similar. I wanted to go to college more than anything, I wanted a formal education. So I got a job and paid my way through furthering my education in college. At that point my parents began flipping out over my conversion and my mother threw me out of the house which caused me to remain living in the streets for 6 months.

I ate out of garbage cans, I slept in the coldest nights through the blizzard of '99. I walked miles to be with Muslims. I was chased out of neighborhoods by police officers for going into black neighborhoods attending Jummah prayer. I was pelted with rocks, spit on, harassed, etc. I just wanted to be with Muslims.

Building a Masjid
In Makkah and Madinah I had seen with my very own eyes the magic of Islam's great history

After some time I met a friend who made a deal with me. He said, "If you can build us a masjid in our muffler shop, you can stay there until you find a place..." I agreed.

The muffler shop had a second floor area, about 2000 square feet for storage. Every day I had spent hours on removing inventory supplies and garbage. Within one month I had utilized half of the space, built a wall, added a window, installed a door, put in some carpeting, painted and opened up the first Muffler shop masjid in the city of Chicago. I had learned the carpentry trait from my uncle. It was my first full time job.

Around 6 months later I had maintained a good job and moved in with two friends. My old fiancée was out of the picture by now. We had agreed to live our lives as Muslims, not as fools. I loved her more than anyone I had ever loved. But being Muslim was far more important than being with a person.

In 1999 I had become the President of the Muslims Student Association at my college. I was attending Halaqahs daily, going to seminars, I had a mentor, and I built a relationship with my enemies; Muslims.

Going to Hajj

In 2000 I was on my way to Hajj. An experience I will never forget.

I visited Madinah and other neighboring areas. The one thing I had realized at Hajj was the truth about God and the history of Islam. We can only go back in time so far and we can only rely on what text books tell us about people and places.

In Makkah and Madinah I had seen with my very own eyes the magic of Islam's great history. It was as if I was living the history. I felt the Hadith come to life. I saw the Sahabah in the mountain tops. I smelt the battle of Badr. I tasted the air the Prophet once breathed. I felt the real Islam that each and everyone of us are destroying.

Although I am alone, without a wife or a family to call my own, I know Islam is life, not a way of life but life itself. I understand that Islam is not a religion, because religion can be pluralized. I understand that Muslims are not what Islam has to offer. I understand that Islam cannot be judged by the actions of Muslims, Muslims can only be judged by Islam.

I have been given a great opportunity to become who I am and who I am is no one no higher or less than each and every one else. I was given the opportunity to acquire my dream job. I have always wanted to work for relief work and helping people, as much as my past contradicts the fact, but it's true. I now work for Global Relief Foundation, it's where I have been for over a year now.

As much as I fed you with words of my life, nothing can explain my heart. I have only mentioned a few of the many obstacles I have faced, I know that many of you have faced so much more.

My purpose of telling you this is to say that I understand the difficulties many are going through. Waslamu Alaykum.

To those who are making jest of the devoted that died while trying to serve their Lord, Allah says this about you.........

29. "Surely those who committed sin used to laugh at those who believed,”
30. "And when they passed by them, they were winking at one another (in mockery"
31. "And when they returned to their people they returned jesting,”
32. "And when they saw them, they said: 'Surely these have gone astray’”.
33. "While they had not been sent as guardians over them!”
34. "So, on this Day (of Judgement) the Believers win laugh at the Unbelievers:"
35."(Sitting) on thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things)".
36. "Have not the Unbelievers been paid back for what they used to do?"

Quran 83 verses 29-36

wa Alaykum salam,

You either go with the state or private hajj operators. The state hajj is cheaper around 800-900k, while the private operators vary between 1.25m -1.9m depending on the package. The later is known as 'international' and the duration of stay in Makkkah and Medina is usually between 2-3wks. The State can stay up to 4weeks.

Being tested positive for Hep B was not your own doing. If it is not a medical position, I dont think it should be more of a problem. Put your hopes in God.

acedboss:
Hello House,

I have a question, my intl. passport expires next year (2016), Hopefully by then I should be in Germany already. Is it possible for me to apply for and get another passport before leaving naija? if yes, what's the procedure? Thanks

Hello Acedboss,

You can get your passport reissued before you leave Nigeria but I really dont know if the old one will be collected from you. I was at the immigration office during the last week of August and met a woman whose passport was rejected at one of these embassies because it had less than six months validity. Another passport was issued for her but like i said, I wasn't sure if they collected the old one from her.

I did a reissue for my expired passport and was given both a new and the old passport back with different passport number. The passport number of the old one is somewhere on the data page of the new one.

If your school is not far from Berlin, you may wait till it expires.

You may also need to find out the number of validity months German embassy requires before they can stamp your passport with their visa.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mostyg

Hello e-fam, so i have gotten a credit confirmation from DB. All my transaction happened under 72hours, I used the UBA head office in marina. Faster than i expected really as i only just submitted my form A on wednesday around 12noon.

My question is as regards to the earlier email from the embassy that indicated that i ''Please state reference in reply''. What does this mean, i am just about to send the copy of the confirmation to them. Is there a special thing that i should make reference to? i'm just being careful here.

What is meant by the reference is your visa application number. The number in the subject of the mail sent to you by the embassy after your interview.

emmanuellaiyke:
Morning you guys.My friend had his interview on monday and has been asked to fund his account.However, he is yet to recieve his account notifications from Deutsche Bank.He submitted documents for the account since 3rd of August.Please,what should he do?

This problem is peculiar to almost everybody that submitted the application document on the 3rd of August, 2015. I received this mail today
" Dear Sirs,

thank you for sending us your account opening documents.

We regret your account cannot be opened because the documents are not completly filled. You did not sign

the "Depositor Information Sheet"

A signature on all marked positions at the documents is mandatory.

The actual valid form is available for free download on our website.

Please fill this writeable PDF document completely and exclusively by computer and sign it in all spaces
with the description "Signature of account holder" and "Acknowledgement of receipt by the depositor".

A confirmation from the German Embassy is not necessary.

All information can be found at
https://www.deutsche-bank.de/pfb/content/privatkunden/konto_international-students-en.html


Please send the account opening form in original by postal or courier service to our address".

After reading through the mail, I checked the form I submitted at the embassy. I remembered signing all the spaces marked with 'signature of account holder' at the embassy and I never saw anything like 'Acknowledgement of receipt by the depositor' on the form.

I put a call through the phone number on the DB website and was told I cannot be helped unless I fill and send the form as instructed in the mail. Feeling helpless, I downloaded another form. Alas, the form was different from the one I submitted at the embassy. There is a separate page titled 'Depositor Information Sheet' where the space to sign the 'Acknowledgement of receipt by the depositor' is.
Surprised, I checked the date I downloaded the one I submitted, it was on the 28th of July,2015. So I guessed the application form must have been changed in the first week of August as at the time I submitted the 'old one'.

The new form has four spaces where the account holder would have to sign unlike the 'old one' with just two spaces. In addition, you cannot fill the new form with ink/pen, it must be 'Type-filled'

I am now left with no choice than to send another form to DB but not through the embassy.

If you have sent your application with the old form and have not received notification from DB, I will advise you fill the new form and send to DB address ASAP.

Futurewiser:
As I promised to inform you guys base on my previous post....


It was actually test he was given to write when he got there.

Good to know. I wish him best of luck and apologise for been pessimistic about his situation.

@ Mostyg are you for real? Mohammed is the one who prophecied about the anti-Christ? Ah this Muslims. The anti-christ was prophsied even before christ was born, now its Mohammeds prophecy?
Abeg tell me that the falling away of people from christianity was also prophesied by muhammed. Una no dey shame? A thief shd have little shame but u muslims don't.
Muhammed an apostle of satan will prophecy against the downfall of his master. That's hilarious. What's muslims role or take in the rule of the anti-christ? I expected u to dispute the bible verses I posted instead of bringing up the plagiarised words of muhammed.
If u read carefully, u shd ve seen that I didn't say seductive acts, I said seducing spirit. There's a spirit behind islam, its evil. Drawing people to it, only to dstroy them

"And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah , lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do". Quran 6:108

Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-as (radi Allahu anhum) reported that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “It is one of the gravest sins to abuse one’s parents.” It was asked (by the people): “O Messenger of Allah, can a man abuse his own parents?” The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “He abuses the father of somebody who, in return, abuses the former’s father; he then abuses the mother of somebody who, in return, abuses his mother.”

1.Yes Muhammed prophecy on anti-christ is just one example. please consider the emphasis on the 'one-eye'/
2. Muhammad (SAW) was unlettered, so he cannot be accused of Plagarism
3. I didn't not comment about the Bible verses you quoted because I didn't want to talk about the Bible so as not to sound insulting.

22. And (O people) your companion (Muhammad ()) is not a madman;

23. And indeed he (Muhammad ()) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east).

24. And he (Muhammad ()) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen.

25. And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan).

26. Then where are you going?

27. Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns).

28. To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight,

29. And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

You just come on nairaland with propaganda news . Na wah oooh only cables self we will be seeing 200 stations for churches you hardly find two islamic stations. Allah is liar, mohamMAD was a liar and all muslims are the same.

Please see for yourself churches that have converted into mosques.

Anas09:
If There are serious minded christians here, they will be more prepared for the second coming of Christ. This is a prove that christianity is true. The Biblical prophecies are coming to pass before our very eyes. THIS IS THE FALLING AWAY the Bible talked about. "That day shall not come until they come a falling away first". 1st thess 2:3. Except u r not expecting Jesus to return, but if u r, u shd be happy that it shall soon end.
1st Tim4:1-2, Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the last days some shall depart from the Faith, giving attention to seducing spirits (Islam [/b]and Atheism), and doctrines of devils. 2. Speaking in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron". Just look around you and see the level of sexual immorality in the world to day. Check out the perversion, Check out evil in the news. If the Bible didn't warn before hand that all these will happen, I would be worried, but every unbeliever shd be worried, becos Jesus is at the door.
Am happy[b] mohammed didn't prophecy anything we can clearly see. AND if almost all the world doesnt become Muslims, who will do the persecution against the christians? Jesus says, those who endure to the end shall be saved. Let ur hearts not fail you (christians) we know how it ends, we WIN. Satan and all his Apostles loses. Praise God.

You have raised so many issues about Christianity, Atheism and Islam. I am not going to comment about atheism and Christianity, but it is my moral duty to comment about Islam. The videos highlighted the reality of the present day.
1. You alluded that Islam is a seducing spirit. I would not know the basis of your conclusion because if you look around the world today, the only religion that seems not to be attractive with all the negative media stereotype is Islam. with all these negative factors-wars, terrorism, extremism- the religion is still growing. There is nothing "seducing" about it should be rather deterring. Also, the Islamic way of worship to many is very difficult-praying five times daily, fasting etc. To an unguided mind, the religion is burdensome and not in anyway attractive nor seductive. These factors should not have made the religion attractive but opposite is the case, this is an indication of divine intervention
Quran 110 vs 1-3 says "When the help and victory of Allah comes, you shall see people entering in folds into to religion of Allah, therefore glorify your Lord and ask His forgiveness. Verily He is the One who accepts repentance and forgives.
2. You mentioned that Muhammad (SAW) had no prophecy about what happens today. I will advise that you study the life history of that great man. Many of his prophecy has come to past. For instance, He spoke about the Dajjal (anti-christ) He said, "he will claim to be God and will be one eyed, your Lord is not one-eyed". Many of 'the chosen one' portrayed in the western media and entertainment industries today are "one eyed", the illuminati one-eye, I guess you know more about that.
3.Persecution is a relative term, Gays believed they are being persecuted, Christians are persecuted likewise Muslims. The case of Palestine is still fresh in our memory.

All the videos point to one fact. People are reverting to Islam not because they were forced or looking for miracles but because they needed truth and peace that can only be found in Islam.

onetrack:
And every day Christians and Muslims leave their religions and become agnostic or atheist. Leaving religion completely has been by far the biggest growing demographic in Europe.

Yes people leave their religion to become atheist. However,statistics show that this is more peculiar to the christian folks than Muslim and quite a lot of the Christians also revert to Islam especially in the West on the basis of their convictions. In Africa, the Muslims that convert to christianity do so mainly because of miracles and media sterotypes. The western world has gone beyond miracles, they wanted peace of mind and that they are finding in Islam. I just watched a youtube video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4omk0p_uyXw)where the preacher Yusuf Este, a former christian missionary said he delivered a lecture in German and 1,240 people in the gathering reverted to Islam.
Watch the video of Arnoud Van Doorn, Lauren Booth (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkeNlPIOr0w) who is Tony Blair's sister-in-law and listen to their story on how they came about Islam.
If you want peace of mind and need salvation, please try Islam.

And many of them are mumuciously resorting to an even more absurd religion, Islam. . Isn't that the height mumucity seeing the devastating effects such dangerous dogma as Islam can cause in a state.

If Nigeria was all christian, we wouldn't need to be facing this terrorism we are facing now, i will pick Chrisitianity over islam any day at least Christians mostly have low tendency of collective violence and extreme intolerance like killing apostates or extreme misogyny...

These people self jumping from frying pan into fire..
Hinduism, Christianity, Taoism, Buddism, Confucianism and ATR are far better religions than islam in terms of violence and idiotic intolerance.

And Christianity also has very cool music and vibes

The question that needed to be answered is why are they abandoning Christianity for Islam? And Don't you think there is more to Islam than the media portray? Muhammad started his mission alone, at first he was rejected and persecuted but after 23 years, the whole Arabia peninsula accepted Islam, don't you think there is divine intervention in his mission?
