Elusive001:
They wanted a mu-mu presidency for the whole country, but do not want shariah in their land. Isn't this evil?

And who told you that Yoruba people wanted tinubu as president?

Why are many of you Igbos so senseless?

Wahabfuture:
Nobody will stop us from having sharia law all over Yoruba land, you can relocate to another region if you don’t like it, respect our right

Implementing Sharia law itself is an evidence that Muslims don't respect people's rights

CodeTemplar:
religion shouldnt be associated with entities people didnt consciously agree to be part of like territories and nations. It should be personal.

Then do Sharia court in your room and not disturb our peace with it

Greenlandz:
I am proud to be an indigene of Ilorin

We have ye highest number of professors living in the state

We have the highest number of Muslim clerics in the country

Ilorin still belongs to Yoruba despite as some people might have opposed.

Yoruba tribe still makes 70 percent of the tribes in the state

And the most intriguing part is that all these Fulani defendants and other tribes in the state only speaks Yoruba as their languages and don't even sound Fulani at all

Ilorin ni mi anywhere and any day

Ilorin, ilu alapata. Other alapatas butcher cows, but Ilorin Alfas butcher human beings.

Inna lillahi wa ina ilehi rajiun!

Why can't you write it in your local language? Is your local language inferior to the idol you serve or your pagan Idol only understands Arabic?

Watch how that Ade dancer of a guy will be exposed, within him, he thinks he is smart. Just watch and see

Keep quiet.

Tinubu is a worse cancer than adeleke

PigTormentor:
Kangaroo election.

What a waste of state resources. Election that will not stand the test of time.
Complete fraud and waste of time and resources.

Tinubu's election was also a kangaroo election

Why didn't you say this about his election? Is it because the rigging didn't favor you this time around?

Lolz. Money ritualists pretending to be business men

DonroxyII:
I wrote for the Internet Not "You" .... A Google search might pop up my write up for people who are more saner than You .....!!

Lolz. In Islam being saner means allowing yourself to be deceived.

Islam can only thrive through deception. Without lies Islam dies. Part of the lying is to change the meaning of Islam from submission to peace

Even in this world of information, Muslims are still lying shamelessly, not minding the fact that people can easily expose their lies. . This means lying is in the DNA of a Muslim.

Islam doesn't mean peace. Islam means submission.

Arabs who own the religion say this, but you a black slave with no value to Arab allah is saying something different.

gaskiyamagana:
Say it again and again to your misguided and misinformed fellow

Read Quran 3:54 yourself and ask yourself who is misguided between me and you.

In that verse, your allah claimed to be the best of deceivers.

Your allah is a self acclaimed deceiver. Go and read instead of allowing an Arab pagan idol to deceive u

DaughterOfAllah:
Fair criticisms overall. Two things to note though:

1> You argument commits a genetic fallacy, positing that because a practice has historical roots in a particular culture, it therefore invalidates it. That's a short-sighted and lazy way to address the topic. Humans are pretty much creatures of ritual and symbolism and our cultural practices over time have evolved and adapted, and are now mostly imbued with new meaning.

2> What puzzles me with your entire position is the fact that you don't seem to see how these exact same charges you've levelled against Islam could be similarly applied to Christianity. Your own scripture, the Bible, is replete with countless examples of borrowing, adaptation, and syncretism from pre-existing mythologies and cultures! Surely, you do not suppose that the ancient Israelites invented monotheism in a vacuum? The early Christian church was deeply influenced by Hellenistic philosophy, Mithraic mythology, and the cult of Sol Invictus, among other pagan traditions. The Hebrew Bible draws plenty of influence from Zoroastrianism and Egyptian mythology to name but a few. These are facts very well documented by religious scholars and biblical historians, and I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone were to dismiss Christianity as a "poor copy" of ancient Greek or Egyptian mysticism.



Attacking Islam may not have been your aim, according to you, but take a minute to notice how you've already proceeded to peddle a gross generalization about Muslims because of a few choice encounters, while prefacing your statement with a token disclaimer to immunize yourself from criticism. The problem with painting an entire group with a broad brush is that it's way more easier to fall victim to confirmation bias, where you mouth off statements that are not entirely informed and masquerade it as objective commentary. More importantly, this is yet another example of you accusing Muslims of the same thing Christians are guilty of! Why should the fact that Muslims try to invalidate other religious texts be a big deal to you, especially given the long and storied history of Christian apologists doing precisely the exact same to Islam?



As someone who spent practically her entire life as a Muslim raised up north, growing up in a very religious household, I can state with conviction that this statement is false! Again, I don't know what kind of Muslims you've come in contact with but your claim is simply not true. Islam has a clear message and/or gospel, in line with the Quran's central theme of monotheism, as well as the prophetic tradition. So I find this assertion to be very dubious. I've already addressed your concerns about Muslims' trying to "pull you guys down" by pointing out the fact that you guys criticize Islam too, and just as fervently. One thing in your response that made me chuckle though was your analogy about political parties. I daresay it's a perfect instance of pot meet kettle, which curiously you're partaking in, using a flawed argument to try and discredit Islam.



The Quran is not original or unique, I concur. But so is the Bible. I hope you are beginning to appreciate how your criticisms against Islam backfire in more ways than you think?



Whether such instructions were codified into your holy scriptures is ultimately irrelevant. The fact remains that early Christians did indeed use such symbols, which caused charges of idolatry to be laid at their door by their detractors. Especially with the cross, which while not being universally accepted, even among early Christians, became a ubiquitous symbol of Christianity. I haven't even touched on the holidays! (Christmas & Easter). Isn't it curious to you how the "birth of Jesus" coincides with the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia and the Germanic festival of Yule? And then the early church, in all its infinite wisdom, and in an attempt to convert the heathen masses, decided to co-opt these existing pagan celebrations, incorporating their traditions and symbols into what you guys now call Christmas. Easter bunnies and Easter eggs both have their roots in pre-Christian, pagan fertility rituals.



You can't just conveniently ignore all the historical and cultural contexts of Christian practices over time and just cling to a literal interpretation of a book that, curiously enough, defies any attempt at literal interpretation, LOL. I believe so far that I can surmise your entire position as an attempt to try and assert some form of moral victory over Islam by ascribing the pagan epithet to Islam, and in the same breath, forgetting that your own religion has its pagan roots as well. Far be it from me, as a non-believer, to prescribe how believers should behave, but don't you think true faith should be found not in condemning other people's beliefs, but in getting to understand yours better?

Explain how ur Arab idol will ask you to worship him in the same way Arabs were worshipping their idols.

Muslim countries are doing that because women have little value there.

Good evening. I'm based in Ilorin, Kwara State

DonroxyII:
Islam is a root word from Salama which literally means Peace And The Only Deen(Philosophy) that Emanate From Almighty Allah is "Peace" (Ina Deena Indallahi Islam)

Thus All Servants of Allah(All Humanities) Must Subscribed to The Philosophy of Almighty Allah which is "Peace" ....

Servants that Subscribed to Peace(Islam) are Called Muslim while Servant that Subscribed to Crisis are Called Kufr .....

Mumeenoon(are Staunched Believers in Almighty Allah) amongst the Muslim(Peace Adherents)

While Kafiroon(Are Staunched Believers In Satan(Iblis) Amongst The Kufr) ....

Once you start watching Islam(Peace) from Mere Perspective of Saudi Arabia Your Knowledge of Islam(Peace) Would be limited to Definitions By Arabian Ulamas(Arabian Jurist) Who are also Biased Based on Their Arabian Cultures!

But Once You viewed Islam From Teaching Of the Holy Qur'an that's when You shall have Wider Understanding Of Almighty Allah Better & You will truly have a Peaceful Life because Qur'an is Depicting Humanities across the Globe Not Just Arabians...

By definition of Muslims all Christians are Captured same as Jews and All Peace Adherent all Over the World of Humanities... But they Might not be Mumeenon(Staunch Believer in Almighty God).....!

Learn Arabic Language not Mere Saudi Arabia Cultures as a Means to Define Islam ....

Islam is not Saudi Arabia Religion but Religion of Almighty God (Allah) of The Universes & Everything Therein!

Robu Samawati Wal Ardi Wa ma Fihi Jamihin!

Stop deceiving yourself.

Islam means submission, not peace.

I'm not your ilé kéwú pupil that will swallow any nonsense you write.

Lukgaf:
This week, let's reflect on one of the beautiful names of Allah - "As-shakur" and in order to understand and appreciate the meaning, let's imagine a scenario:

You visit your rich Uncle who just returned back from abroad after some years, and after spending time with him, he hands you a ₦5 note when you're about going home. How would you feel? Most people would likely be insulted, feel disrespected, or even get angry, thinking,

"Does this person think so little of me?. He's a miser!"

Some might even mock the giver after he leaves.

To Allah belongs the highest example...

Unlike humans, Allah never belittles any good deed. He appreciates even the smallest act of goodness and rewards it far beyond what it deserves. This is why He is As-Shakūr, The Most Appreciative.

Allah says in the Qur’an:

"If you loan Allah a goodly loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you. And Allah is [most] Appreciative and Forbearing." (Surah At-Taghabun, 64:17)

Think about it—Allah, the King of kings, the Owner of the heavens and the earth, calls our deeds a ‘loan’ to Him! SubhanAllah !

Even though He is in need of nothing, He appreciates every act of worship, every charity given, every prayer made.

Pray two rak’ahs? Allah appreciates it and may forgive a lifetime of sins.
Smile at your brother? It is counted as an act of charity.
Give a small amount in charity? Allah may multiply it beyond imagination.

I think this is a lesson for us: let's learn to appreciate one another.

If Allah, our Creator, is appreciative of His servants, then what about us?

Shouldn't we be even more appreciative of one another?

Children should appreciate their parents – for their love, sacrifice, and sleepless nights.

Students should appreciate their teachers for impacting knowledge to them.

Friends should appreciate friends – for their loyalty, kindness, and presence in times of need.

Spouses should appreciate each other – a small ‘thank you’ can strengthen love and harmony in a home.

Leaders should appreciate their citizens – by governing with mercy and justice, remembering those who put them in power.

Many relationships break not because of lack of love, but because of lack of appreciation. A simple "thank you" could make a huge difference in someone’s life.

Ya Allah, You are As-Shakūr, The Most Appreciative. Make us among those who appreciate You and appreciate others. Do not let our hearts be ungrateful, and bless us with sincerity in our words and actions.

Ameen.

Allah, the Idol worshiped by Arab pagans before Islam started, is also a deceiver, according to Quran 3:54.

AntiChristian:
[size=12pt][/size]

Aamin!

Islam kind of paradise is a fake paradise. The true God won't give you 72 virgins for sex in any heaven. The true heaven is not a place for sex orgy.

If you allow yourself to think, you would have realized that muhamed used the Horus story in the Quran to deceive men into fighting for him in wars.

Have you asked yourself why muhamed didn't lie that allah would give lots of men to women in heaven for sex?! That's because women do not participate in war.

If you even think God Almighty will give you 72 virgins for sex in heaven, then you are deceiving yourself.

Muhamed is a liar. Islm is a lie and your allah is a fake Arab pagan idol

Islam/Salam/Shallom Means Peace in Arab/Hebrew thus There is different between Islam and Arab(Culture) ....

Peace is Universal while Arab is a Culture in Middle East of Earth.....

It's either you have been deceived or you decide to deceive yourself.

Islam doesn't mean peace. Islam means submission.

Even your foundational knowledge about Islam is a confusion

The core Islamic agenda is domination. Soon, they'll propose that a caliphate be mounted in strategic locations...then in due time, call it an Islamic state, as did Ilorin.

They are manipulative and the ones making noise in the southwest must have been funded by external interests.

advanceDNA:
Islam is deeply rooted in idolatry and many of their laws are driven from pre-islam pagan practice which has nothing to do with God

Walking around the Kaaba counter-clockwise is a pre-islam practice done by idol worshippers who even did their own walking naked as a means of greater sacrifice

The Kaaba used to be a place for idols and there is no evidence that Abraham or his son built the Kaaba....

Some Muslims are aware but pride and arrogance won't allow them to leave

Alerzo Limited, a B2B technology company, which has partnered with micro retailers to digitize Nigeria’s informal supply chain, enhancing efficiency and data-driven decision-making.

i-Tech Hub is also in ibadan whereby they focus on affordable coding classes and coworking spaces, supporting hundreds of young people in starting their tech careers.

Expansion of Service Industries

The service sector has also improved, with companies like Clean N Classy opening new branches in Ibadan. And of this firm are into premium cleaning and pest control services, whereby they employed trained professionals who utilize the latest techniques and equipment for great job done. Their expansion reflects a commitment to delivering exceptional solutions tailored to the needs of local residents and other businesses.

Infrastructure Developments

Infrastructure projects have played a very vital role in Ibadan’s economic transformation and of course the present Government really focuses on the infrastructure. The Oyo State Government has initiated the upgrade of the Ibadan Airport to international standard, aiming to connect the state to the global market and also attract investments in agribusiness, manufacturing, and technology sectors. This project will definitely improve ways of doing business and position Ibadan as a regional business hub.

Agritech Ventures: Modernizing Agriculture

Agriculture remains the backbone of Ibadan’s economy as well all know, but new agritech companies are modernizing this sector. These businesses are introducing technologies like drone monitoring, precision farming, and even digital marketplaces, that allows the farmers to reach broader markets and improve productivity.

Example: FarmSmart connects local farmers with buyers directly through an app, meaning you talk directly to your buyer without any middlemen.

Support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

The University of Ibadan came up with SME Fair 2024, whereby it was themed “Moving the SME Glocal Community Forward Through Technology, Innovation and Creativity.” its motive was to recognise the importance of SMEs in economic development, This event indeed talks more about the university’s commitment to encouraging partnerships with small and medium businesses, providing a platform for building new networks, sharing knowledge, and even inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs.
