You don't just let your influential presenters leave without adequate replacements


Olisa anchored programs with large followers, same for Dan; bringing new people suddenly will make them lose the 'lead' for a while. remember rhythm?

Dan's teases on Gbemi 'swat I'll miss

i will ask him the meaning of mustay

tell her "ladies first"

Something must be really going on at cool fm, if freeze and Gbemi leave, i no o listen again.

After, Olisa left cool fm some weeks ago, Dan foster has taken the 'bow'.

The early morning drive to work will never be the same again. The Sunday-Sunday rendezvous will never be the same again. The man that has captured our attention for eight years, thrilling us to no end, and bringing an excitingly new dimension to radio journalism on Cool FM has thrown in the towel.

Yes. Dan Foster, the most celebrated OAP on Cool FM has resigned from his plum job at the station, leaving millions of fans and followers stranded and distraught; and leaving his former employers in shock.

Thankfully, while the Mousalli family, his employers at Cool FM, may have a hard time finding a replacement for him, radio listeners have no cause to fret. Dan is not returning to his native country, America. He's not taking away all we've taught- and given- him in Nigeria. The hilarious talker is allegedly pitching his tent with another radio station in Nigeria.

A very reliable source told E-Punch that Foster, a broadcasting and drama graduate of the Morgan State University in Baltimore, has accepted an offer to be Head of Programmes at Inspiration FM, a new Lagos-based radio station reportedly owned by Intercontinental Bank's Erastus Akingbola. The station, managed by Wale Ewedemi, also a former Cool FM staff, is expected to broadcast from Victoria Island, in Lagos.

Foster's resignation, coming on the heels of Olisa Adibua's departure, has caused many to insinuate that Cool FM may be swimming into troubled waters.

But officials at the station are not taking a nap. A new GM, Charles Supo-Orija, has been called in, and one Keith, also an American who had a brief stint with the station in year 2000, has returned to take over Foster?s Good Morning Nigeria show.

A one-liner signature skit run through his show last Tuesday reads: Keith you?re not funny; you?re not gonna last long. It was meant to be a sarcastic drop, but listeners are already wondering if Keith is fit to step into Dan Foster?s large shoes. He was under so much pressure on September 16, that at 9.48 am, he erroneously announced that the time was ?7.48.”

It is uncertain if any member of staff will be following Foster to Inspiration FM. But over the past few months, Cool FM has lost some of its key players, under different circumstances: founding GM, Chris Ubosi, is allegedly planning to float his own station; Nike Coker, Tyeng Gang, Wale Ewedemi and Wale Akinjogbin ? all of the Abuja office, have all also left to pursue different endeavours.

Speaking on phone with Dan on Wednesday, September 17, he refused to accept or deny that he has left Cool FM. He did not pick later calls nor reply an SMS sent to his mobile.

‘‘He has resigned already. But I can tell you they are giving him a hell of a time,?? a friend close to him told us.

Ironically, all this is happening just when Cool?s 10th anniversary is around the corner. The station commenced broadcast on October 1, 1998.

In 10 years, the owners have been able to establish the company as one of Nigeria?s top FM stations, and the business has expanded to incorporate Cool Caf? and Chocolate royal.

GM Charles Supo-Orika refused to comment when we contacted him on September 17.

In Arabic, Allah means literally the one God. It is pretty easy to understand how different languages give the same thing different names. Is it that unusual to hear Muslims call God another name, like "Allah", while you call him God or Lord? Some people have no minds; in the last decade, a growing phenomenon was seen on the internet and in published literature. Allah is said to be the “moon god” that Arabs worshiped, and Kaaba (The Muslims holiest place on Earth) is His temple. The evidence for this theory is the crescent that appears on the top of many mosques all over the world plus a fabricated picture of the "moon god".

This idea is very dangerous. If you believe that Muslims are worshiping an idol, then there is no basis even to talk to them. They are pagan idolaters like Hindus and Buddhists. It is alleged that although Islam is a monotheistic religion, the Muslims' only God is simply another idol that Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) chose (or in some versions of the story, he made it up).

To invalidate this foolish theory, one has to take the story from different angles.

The crescent is not a symbol of Islam, but of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans are those tribes that moved to Turkey from east and middle Asia. They converted to Islam and built a huge Muslim Empire that ruled the whole Muslim world for centuries. When they took Islam as a religion they started using the lunar calendar, the calendar that was used by Muslims, Jews and early Christians. Even today, the flag of Turkey has a crescent on it. There was no crescent on any mosque built before the Ottomans era.

Prophet Abraham built the Kaaba for people to worship God. While pagan Arabs admitted this fact and even kept the stone where he used to stand to build the Kaaba (Abraham's station), they brought idols to the Kaaba and worshiped them to get closer to Abraham's Lord, Allah, God of gods. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) came with the monotheistic message of Islam. Arabs defended these idols and refused to give up the religion of their fathers and grandfathers. They offered to Muhammad a deal, that is to worship their gods for one year, and they worship Allah alone for one year. A chapter of the Quran came with the response from God to this evil invitation:

[Say : O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. To you be your Way, and to me mine. ]109:1-6

Later on, the Quran started calling Allah by other names. One of those holy names was Al-Rahman (the Gracious). Arabs wondered:"is this a new God?" The Quran responded again:

[Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. ]17:110

It is not a new god; it is a new name for the same God. Allah has ninety nine names in Islam; all of them are holy and speak about different attributes of the same creator, almighty Allah. As an example, read these verses of the Quran:

[Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god; Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god; the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.

He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.]59:22-24

When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came back to Mecca, he entered the city peacefully on the top of an army of 10,000 men, exactly as the Bible described him "pre-eminent above ten thousand." (Solomon 5:10). He did not burn a single home; he did not harm a single person; he just went to the Kaaba and destroyed all the gods Arabs had there. He kept nothing in the Kaaba. Where is this picture of the moon god coming from? I don't know. Did anyone of the pagan Arabs have a digital camera by then?

There is evidence that the word Allah existed before the birth of Muhammad PBUH for thousands of years. It is probably the oldest name man used to call God. Most likely, Adam used the word Allah to call the Lord. On the other hand, the word "GOD" was born with the English language, less than ten centuries ago. Can we say that all English speaking nations are pagans because they use the word "God"? What about Chinese monotheists? How should they call God?

Prophet Muhammad's father’s name was Abdullah (The slave of Allah). This name was common among Arab pagans and Jews. Abdullah bin Salam was one of the first Jews to convert to Islam in Medina. When Arabs call Allah in prayer they say: “Ya Allah” or “Allahoma”. Aren't these words familiar to you? “Alleluia” and “Elohim” are the words used to call Allah in the Bible. In Hebrew, the suffix im means many. So Elohim literally means many Allah(s). This is a known way to express dignity and respect to almighty Allah by calling Him pleural. This phenomenon is known in Hebrew, Arabic, English and other languages. In Quran, the same pattern is seen many times. For example, God says in the holy Quran:

[ We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). ]15:9.

In the English translation of the Bible, you read, "Let us make man in our image”-Genesis 1:26-KJV.

The word Allah is used in all Arabic translations of the Bible. It was used in some English translations of the Bible like the original "Scofield Reference Bible"-reference: what is his name? by Deedat. In the New Testament, Jesus is believed to cry before his death "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” Eloi is the exact Arabic word "Elahi" which comes from the same root as Allah.

I have no doubt that the word "Allah" is the oldest known name man called God with. For those who choose to ignore this fact and transgress, Muslims have nothing to offer. Allah says in the holy Quran:

[If any, after this, invent a lie and attribute it to Allah, they are indeed unjust wrong-doers.] 3:94

For Muslims, Allah is perfect. He has no partners. We worship Him and Him alone. Our faith is summarized in the holy Quran:

[Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.]112:1-4
