tbaba1234: You just made no sense:

The word is still pronounced the same way, it always has!! The spelling in the english language is not significant because that is not the language of transmission of the message.

The word is pronounced according to its arabic spelling so ALLA or Allah in english does not matter.

The correct pronounciation is ALLA! This knowledge and pronounciation of name of GOD did not start with Muslims or with Muhammad, it preceeded him. The prayer ritual of muslims did not start with Muhammad, it preceeded him. The Prophet (SAWS) modified the words and the rituals to create differentiation so that the ways of the muslims is distinct from that of the polytheists in Mecca. I cant understand why we speak of Arabic and prayer as if it began with Muhammad and Islam, it did not. God said he made him recite the revelations of QURAN IN HIS PEOPLE'S TONGUE. Who were his people? The same people that were polytheists! What was their tongue? The same tongue the Quran is revealed in. I dont follow dogmas. . .I bring out the truth!

tbaba1234: No, you said absolute nonsense!! that's why! with all due respect

Is H an arabic letter?.... What does H have to do anything?? The english language did not even exist at the time of the quranic revelation::: The Jews, christians and pagan idols all used the same name for God ALLAH .... The spelling in Arabic has always been the same and will always remain the same.

Then why use latin letters to write ALLAH? The point is not about literary analysis of the word but the spiritual meaning of the name. If you ask a 10yr old this same question they will tell you the letter "H" is the difference. Thats far too simple an answer than the question is intended to uncover.

If you step away from the letters and the language but concentrate on the tone, universlly ALLA is the truth. To give you a better illustration of this consider the word "MA". Mama, mammy, mami, umma, . . . these are all words for mother. But if I say what is the difference between mama and Eve would you answer by saying they are different women? Spiritually, mama is Eve and Eve is mama. The topic had intent in spirituality and not in literal meaning of ALLAH.[/quote]

Niseamaka: I DO NOT KNOW WHY NIGERIA BASED NIGERIANS ARE NUTTERS FOR BLACKBERRY
PHONES. THEY ARE NOT AMONG THE BEST SELLING PHONES IN THE WEST.SOMEONE
IS SURELY DOING A VERY GOOD JOB ADVERTISING BLACKBERRY PRODUCTS IN 9JA
AND EVERYONE SEEM TO BE IN THE TANK FOR THEM.

. . .Because Nigerians at home are security conscious, while Nigerians abroad are image conscious. Nigerians at home need to have safety and security. . .BB is an extension of secured and private space. No other device can beat that, popular or not popular.

They are both wrong!

The man knowingly lured her into the temptation. If he was doing his duties correctly she would not be in such a vulnerable situation to go online seeking affection from strangers.

He is correct for wondering. There are certain things that one ought not to reveal in a public forum and what I said was one of them. It is not appropriate for this audience.

It is actually ALLA! The Arabs, in order to distinguish their practice from that of the idol worshippers who also use the same term ALLA to call on GOD, added the "H" to act as a differentiator.

To answer the topic, I will write it the way you have it, ALLAH. ALLAH is the infinite, beyond comprehension and divinely separate attribute of GOD. ALLAH is GOD the unseen, unheard, untouchable, unknown!

The HU at the end is the manifestation of ALLA in the cosmos. . . the river, mountains, earth, wind, and everything else that draws you to say 'wow, GOD is Great". Anytime your senses perceive a physical energy that wows you and make you gasp in awe of the presence and manginificence of ALLAH, then you are exalting his throne (Arsh) in HU. . . ALLAHU!

Guest:
Oh yes, I have not finished sharing with you on the family support programme. We also did Family Economic Advancement Programme which is to provide fund and grant to people to learn skills and trade for development, and then we did Basic Education Programme , which is what is now called Universal Basic Education . The basic education was meant to provide literacy for people willing to acquire skills through normal vocational education which will. . .

Host:
. . . which will empower them for growth and self-dependency

Guest:
. . .exactly! . . . and then we setup also to re-enforce moral teachings for children at primary education level to learn etiquettes, respect for elders and parents, civic responsibility and have grounded awareness of God, regardless the faith they practice, whether Christianity or Islam. Then we included in it the indoctrination of patriotism to the country so that the children will have an upbringing that coaches love for national unity so as to shield them from the prejudices of division, that way they grow into true nationalism and eminence. . . but I don’t know if today this programme still exist and is practiced. . . . .

Host:
I was waiting to ask you that. . . .

Guest:
well, we started it but unfortunately . . . . the programe was started in good faith and very comprehensive but we don’t know what has become of it now, particularly those coming behind us followed it up indifferently. Then we did Peace Mission programme. When we went to Beijing, I initiated the proposal and gave a speech and it was agreed that we should partner on the peace mission programme. So we launched the programme and United Nations gave us exceptional support and OAU, back when it was called OAU, also gave us impressive support leading to my trip to Harare and where I delivered a speech at the Heads of State meeting where we developed the framework and even uptill now women in Africa are participating in the peace mission and it is being repeated. . . it is. . . it is. . .it is. . . ahem,. . .

Host:
. . . .being rotated

Guest:
. . . rotated! . . . and they follow the guidelines we implemented to assist and help society. Then we developed standards for structural buildings because people have poorly erected homes and so we inserted “shelter” into the blueprint. Then we got with Minister of Science and Technology to educate on how to make bricks and mortar, not necessarily from cement but also other materials that gives reinforcement. . . . not from clay. Providing technological solutions for buildings so people have security in their shelters and not stressed from fear of their homes collapsing because it was built with sub-standard materials like sand bricks.

We did not get too far on this one. Then we opened women universities. Many of us women, particularly of Northern origin, were not allowed to enroll in co-educational schools of higher learning. So we opened this school since in America, England and everywhere in Europe they have universities for women only. We did our research on it very well and read up on it, but then Southerner women opposed it saying why should we segregate the genders that this is our problem in North, we are illiterate and why should we create a university for women. But now they have created open university in which people can learn and study remotely from home. I am hoping it produces great results.

Then we opened what is called embroidery industry. In the embroidery industry we teach women handcraft skills. On this one we went to Asia, Malaysia and so on to bring different trades to teach the women and we traveled wide on this programme. We wanted to teach people locally and so even in the comfort of their homes they can turn out these products so we wouldn’t need to go buy them. For example the emroidery on military hats are imported. So this industry can be a model for manufacturing all embroidery on military and police outfits locally. But this programme also did not get too far as we would love for it to get, especially we had many things going simultaneously. I’m hoping with life and good health I can commit to it and run it privately myself.. . .

Host:
. . . may God make it so. . .

Guest:
. . . partnering with women groups.

Host:
By God’s Grace!

[quote author=isale_gan2]Go on then, Broda Dudu Negro. Good job.

[s]BTW, GenBuhari, sorry I have not fulfilled my volunteer work on the other thread either. I also have other pressing issues that prevent me from having the focus to research what we previously discussed. Pele joo. Say "Hi" to your namesake for me. [/s][/quote]thank you dear. . . .

translation resumes tomorrow, on the order of Isale_Gan2

Mowire: @onlytruth I'm dissappointed in you. Is your claim according to Forsyth or Ojukwu? From some other participants in the war on Biafran side, Steiner was bad news. Even Forsyth's(I blv I have the name right) account did not present him as a serious man.

These clowns have either forgotten or are not-intimate with the account that Ojukwu fired Steiner.

I love both of them for different reasons.

I love the wisdom and heroism of Effiong for approaching Obasanjo with an article of surrender and thereby bringing closure to the sufferings of the refugees.

I love Steiner for his enterprising no nonsense and whipping Ibo boys into line of fire while he himself remains undercover and remote from the heat of gunpowder and explosions. I dont consider him a hero but a soldier of fortune. . . he fights for money, not for a cause. . . .he could care less what your problem is he is there to sheperd your sons to shed blood on the front line and get paid for that job. Steiner himself contributed nothing to your enemy's bloodshed. If he was such a great soldier and a heroic fighter I bet you he will be in German Army or NATO and as a high ranking commander, not in Africa - Congo, Biafra, South Sudan, Uganda. . . .

To those of you counting on the bullets and weapons of Israel and America to come to your aid in liberating you from Nigeria. . . . think again!!

Steiner says in his book that Gay explained to him why Obote's successor had been chosen, saying: “Blunden told me that the British knew Idi Amin well and he was their first choice because he was the stupidest and the easiest to manipulate.” As Steiner remarks: “Events were later to prove who was the most stupid.”

Thank you Willy!


To all those calling Steiner a hero,

Britain supported your enemy and they supplanted their agents, amongst whom was Steiner, in Biafra to collect tactical data, in addition to earning foreign currency. You are bufuddled by his German citizenship to think he was on your side. . . dude worked for British government. Did you not know this? I am surprised an agent of your enemy is your HERO!!

watching events. . .

How about Effiong, hero or not?

You will have to wait your turn then. . . I have many things Im involved in at moment and each is equally demanding. I get to it when I can or ask other Hausa speakers in here to fill in and help. Rhino sabi Hausa well, Ndu_Chucks, Namfav, Auren Fulani, . . . you feel me?

Brixton, Nice one there! I have been thinking of a good profile image for Dudu_Negro, my other handle, so this came on time. The carrier of the wisdom bag in Yorubaland is the Akapo. https://www.nairaland.com/dudu_negro

Odumchi, good sense of humor. . . .keep it up!
