Oh wow
May her soul rest in peace. Amen

Shidda:
Nice, so I would say this. You're ignoring the whole context and why Islam and Christianity share similarities. Here's chatgpt to brake it down for you.

There are Christian groups and individuals who pray in a way that looks very similar to Muslim ṣalāh. This isn’t common among most Christians today, but it does exist in some traditions.
Here are the main examples:
1. Ethiopian & Eritrean Orthodox Christians
These churches are ancient and preserve very old practices. Their worship includes:
Standing, bowing, and full prostration
Praying at fixed times of the day
Facing the east during prayer
Removing shoes before entering some holy spaces
Ritual purity rules before worship
Many Muslim travelers historically noted how similar this looked to ṣalāh.
2. Coptic (Egyptian) Orthodox Christians
They also have:
Bowing and prostration in prayer
Set prayer times (Agpeya)
Fasting rules that resemble Islamic fasting
3. Syriac / Eastern Churches
Some Eastern Christians use:
Prostrations (called metanoias)
Chanting prayers at specific hours
Facing a direction during prayer
4. “Jerusalem Christians” or “Nazarene Christians” (rare today)
Some small groups attempt to imitate what they believe early Christians did, which includes:
Praying with prostration
Praying multiple times a day
Washing before prayer
5. Individual Christians influenced by early Christianity or by Islamic practice
Some Christian monks, scholars, or spiritual groups adopt:
Prostration as part of devotion
Repeated daily prayer cycles
They don't call it "ṣalāh," but the movements are very similar.
Why the similarity?
Because early Christians prayed almost exactly like this, and Islam preserved that tradition. Prostration was the standard way of worship for:
Jews
Early Christians
Prophets mentioned in the Bible
For example:
“Jesus fell on his face and prayed.” (Matthew 26:39)
“Moses and Aaron… fell on their faces.” (Numbers 20:6)
So some Christians kept this old style, while others moved away from it.

In short:
Yes, certain Christians — especially Eastern Orthodox traditions — still pray in a style very close to Muslim ṣalāh because it comes from the older prophetic way of worship.

My say:
They're not similar because one copied the other, they're similar because the source is the same, as for differences, that is the same too, human desire and corruption. And when you talk about the aspects, you're missing the point.

Off point ❌❌

I have read all the arguments and I will have to go with kobojunkie as honesttalk21 ran out of steam and ideas and started moving in circles just to keep the arguments going. Mohammed was converted to Christianity before creating his own religion (Islam)

Okay. Seen.. next......

I don't think that's feasible.
He has the constitutional right to occupy the seat of the presidency twice as a Nigerian citizen.

He would have been hale and hearty if he had served the jail term.
Sometimes what the enemy meant for evil is actually a way God uses to turn to our favor..

I remembered in 2023 before the election, a man that was arrested and sent to ikoyi prison for something he knows nothing about.

He lamented and everyone started talking I'll about him. He didn't know God wanted to spare his life during the violence that would ensue in his ward on election day.

His two friends unsurprising lost their lives in the violent shootout. (He delegated them to represent him as their party agents in the election)
The opposition brought thugs to disrupt and cause mayhem. They shot at everyone that wasn't same party members with their employers.

A week after the election. The judge all of a sudden released him without trials. He said he has checked his files and saw it was a setup..
Baba went to Church and gave testimony while thanking God for allowing him go to prison just so his life will be spared..

You might think life is treating you harshly. Hold on, that might be a phase God is using to catapult you to your own glory...

-- spits on the floor --

Thank you for your response,
But I believe there are good people everywhere irrespective of where they are.

I might not get the help I want on nairaland, but that doesn't mean they are no good people here.

All the same, I appreciate your opinion.

Good morning nairalanders.

I hope this is the appropriate thread to post this kind of stuff.

And please don't mind my English as am posting out of emotions.

I moved to Lagos for greener pastures early this month to stay with a friend whom unfortunately is cohabiting with a room mate in a single room.
Now the problem here is that his room mate is a very private person who loves been on his own and loves his privacy very much.

Unknown to me, he has been pressuring my friend on when am leaving the house and my friend has been telling him to have some patience with me but he seemed to run out of patience as he has told my friend to leave the house if I don't leave today. (He was the one that rented the house)
My friend has told me about it and I've told him that I have no option than to leave.
Right now am really lost because I don't know where to go to, I've not even worked up to a month to get money to rent even if its a single room and even at that, the salary (25k) which am being paid won't be enough to rent a one room apartment.

I've told some of my colleagues at worked about it and they too on their own are either squatting or leaving with their parents.

I decided to bring it here not to solicit for financial help but to ask of anyone who needs a room mate (we can both share the cost of the apartment) or can accommodate a bro for the time being.

I will also appreciate anyone who will kindly help me pay for a single room then I will pay back in installments.

Is there anyway they beg the mods to move this post to the front page so it can be read by so many people.

Thank you.


I created a post for it since morning and up till now, it hasn't been moved to front page.

Sorry I had to post it here.

OK, thank you for your response.
The mainland is OK for me, I prefer anywhere around yaba, Ikeja, Ketu, Ojota, Bariga, Shomolu, Surulere, sabo etc
