Shouldn't Islam just be outlawed?

Karlman:
And now Hamas has the Victory. Where is your champagne you need to celebrate this victory you and hamas have won for yourselves

Ehn? What are you saying? Who is Hamas? A lady that carries Hermes bag?

Anyways, to the victor goes the victory. The govt of Israel should do better.

Atheistan:
Dont you have shame?
Dont you have principles?
Dont you have class?

How would you ever think that taking kids as prisoners of war is sensible?

All is fair in love and war. What has the Israeli govt been doing about it? Waiting for Trump? And the Israelis too, Trump is their placeholder-messiah.

No principles or shame or class in war. War is meant to be brutal, and only the victor has the victory.

What was the murderer's motive? To steal his friend's motorcycle or what?

Insects are ubiquitous..

So they'd be flying and flying without plenty food to survive and procreate the next swarms? Also, they'd be flying and have no place to habitat?

Use your head.

If house is clean, no food leftovers, there'd be hardly any roaches. Similarly, if a non-close-to-forest street is clean and garbages are not dumbed outside to the streets, there'd hardly be rats.

Use your head.

U mean EU with over 20 trillions dollar economy are parasite. All this IPOB and Muslims self. Do you know that they deliberately gave US their security then focus on something else. They have the money to pursue US military out of their land and develop their own security since US through that Orange man is becoming authoritative like Putin.

Don't mind those people. "EU is a collection of jokes" indeed. There's Italy, there's Netherlands, there's Norway**, Switzerland**, etc. How many countries in Asia can measure up to either of them?

Is there any country in Africa that measures up to the small Netherlands?

SpatialKing:
At the end of the day

Who is actually against Peace?
EU should stop chickening about, they should declare full scale war against Russia 🇷🇺 without involving the USA...

Europe doesn't want to turn their continent to a warzone, and neither do they inherently want to fight Russia, only wants to weaken it and put it in its place.

Russia's invasion to Ukraine gave them a proxy to weaken Russia, that's all.

Judolisco:
Wetin concern us with Trump matter na

Exactly. We even need to do away with too many US-related news. What's anyone's business any longer?

😅 Madness, unhinged.

Mosquito and flies contribute to more than 50 percent mortality here in these parts of the world...

Aside direct mortality from malaria and typhoid ,constant treatment with antibiotics, antimalarials and strong pain killers are a leading cause of liver ,kidney, spleen and neurological damages.. add this to the fact that malaria n typhoid also lowers ur immunity making u vulnerable to other health problems like several cancers and auto immune problems... That's aside draining your pockets in treatment and leaving u financially vulnerable too


My house at the last count has 16 lamps n zappers to zap mosquitoes and other insects..if them bring this challenge come Nigeria I go win... Insect carcas I dey throwaway every weekend go fill one tin of peak liquid

Where do you live? How come you have a lot of insects in your neighborhood?

You live in the North? There are open defecation in far yet near places? Your neighborhood is close to a major road and there's large open gutters drainage there, hence the tincan filling flies?


I had been to Sokoto a number of times, and I see houseflies, very many of them flying around, even perching on people's tea cups at the streetside restaurants. They wave the diseases carrying houseflies aside and drink their tea.

I had stayed at hotels close to major roads and expressways in the Southwest (Ibadan, and Ogun state), going outdoor at night, the mosquitoes were numerous, as there were large water gutters there.

Bottomline:
Lots of flies are connected to the environment, and since most inhabited environments are controlled by humans, many flies are human activities' doing.

Komu1048:
Not just a form of dressing is a holy way of dressing

Almost every lady in the North and in Sahel West African countries wear hijab, be they Muslim or not, they are often forced to. Before forcing them to wear hijab, were they tested of their holiness?

Free hijab wearers. Criminals wear hijabs too.

tonididdy:
Asking for a child as bait is a crime on its own.
The young champs head was too strong for them hence he clearly flipped the narrative!

How did the ritualist know it was a child that was needed? Why not his mother or a goat?
Something's don't add up in the whole narrative and it's also extremely wrong that Nigerians are praising a native doctor for a half baked story

I'm not justifying or defending or being exactly pro the herbalist, but there's a great chance that the herbalist 'know' that for the ritual he requested, the death of a child is the price. And further, he might had seen that should he reject the 23-yr old's wishes, he'd go to another herbalist who may be so malicious and actually carry out the said ritual.

--- Some actually, rather than rejecting "lie" to the divinee that their supposed wealth is coming, should be very patient and so many tricks like that to prevent them from seeking other herbalists, one of whom may let them dead somebody. ---

So, the herbalist might had tricked him, wanted him not to go another herbalist, and then fished him out rather than letting him roam away free and seek desperately other herbalists who may be willing to assist him to meet the demands of devils behind the money rituals.

There are different types of herbalists, by the way. Maybe he had met with a normal Ifa priest or a decent adahunse.

So because they are wearing hijab, they cannot steal again?

Hijab is a form of dressing. Criminals wear hijab.

Omoawoke:
Sorry, they are not Yorubas

That they are living in yorubaland doesn’t make them Yorubas

And you are obviously blind and can’t read that his name is Caleb Leramo. Does that sound Yoruba to you?

Leramo is a Yoruba last name. Akoko of Ondo state to be exact.
Perhaps Ikaram-Akoko, but at least, one of the Akoko's.

And note: so many names in the non-Ibadan-similar-dialects speaking parts of Akoko seem non-Yoruba, but are Yoruba. "Leramo" is Yoruba.

jaxxy:
The power ro reject wrong doings by politicians lies in ur power to vote and ur vote counts as its supposed to be in a democratic setting.

When ur votes don't count and can be manipulated u have lost ur power to choose/Remove ur leaders. U are powerless.

This is why the corrupt leaders want a dysfunctional electoral system so u are powerless.

Voting alone isn't the issue. There's a subtle thing in society that makes people to act correctly. Take the small example of the large effect of "what people would say". Humans are social and if they are aware there'd be societal wide condemnation, body languages, they'd tread carefully. Instead, politicians have fans.


And voting? Voting is even like a push for them to continue. Checking the presidential ballot of 2023, is there anyone actually suitable to be voted for? Absolutely none. All of them have histories of corruption, terrible leadership and whatnot. But guess the actions of Nigerians? They support A against B, support B against C. Support none! And collectively condemn them, accept none and rally for overhaul of the political parties and processes that produce terrible personas on the ballots.

Nope, Nigerians do not. They love illegality, unlawfulness, disorderliness and color it along the lines of "he's an elder", "he's a respectable lecturer [the unizik lady comes to mind]", "it's affecting people's businesses", "billions of dollars has been lost from the govt developmental project", "northern agenda", "muslim-muslim".

Nigerians hardly collectively criticize lawlessness and lack of order, but would jump at any opportunity to collectively seek the downfall of a vulnerable person [the unizik lady illegally acted upon comes to mind].

chijiokecosmos:
Ebonyi people are not Igbos. They behave like cows that's why we see them as fulanis

But they are part of Biafra.

Nigeria is like a jungle, and the political leaders seem to like it that way.

tonididdy:
... For me begath many questions.


Aren't ritualist provided with a list of needed items? Do you just take a child to a shrine without first knowing what and what is needed?

I think that young champs head is very strong and the ND noticed and twisted the narrative to save face!

Most herbalists say human sacrifice are not exactly needed for the supposed money rituals, but the devils behind it ask for humans because the devils want the desperate ritualistic to actually murder another person, wants them to commit evil and become condemned for it.

There's a great chance the babalawo in this case included "bring a child to kill" specifically to fish out the 23-year old's evil and desperation, and expose him.

Trump effect. Signalling Israelis to go on on attack.

The Floridan man should be tried and prosecuted accordingly. Intent to homicide is unlawful.

Ishilove:
I'm pretty sure you are in some way or the other related to that saucy young lady. It is quite obvious with the way you are championing her lost cause on Nairaland.

So I have to be related to her before I show concern for her?

This statement of yours just confirms majority of y'all are selfish and promote wickedness. I have to be related to her before I am concerned?

So you are related to the abusive lecturer that's the reason you were hailing him, or you just love wickedness and never skip to promote it? Which is it?

RIP to the trusting lady. May her soul be at solace.



Imagine if this lady had fought with the man, bit his arm while he was maybe trying to drag her to hurt, to harm, Nigerians, most of them on Nairaland would have said "she's rude, assaulting a highly respected religious cleric, typical genZ", and the league of Alfa's may have given the Alfa an award for his calm.
The case of the unizik lady whose hands were held tightly by an overpowering man and had threatened her with his position is that example.

Anyone, defend yourself at all times. That a person smiles, or is an elder, or a young innocent woman, or a small boy, or anyone, keep your wake always, and remember, satan was said to be 'beautiful-looking'.

For those interested, this is the unedited clip of the Congressman's words and context - https://www.c-span.org/program/house-committee/house-hearing-on-usaid-part-1/655738 (listen from 1:03). And unfortunately, the actual details of such funding were not made public. Just words. Accusations. No evidence.

The US Congressman, Scott Perry, has been in Congress since 2013 and served (and even currently serving) on the Foreign Affairs and Oversight committees, so supposedly, he should know better about USAID's activities over the years. To make such claims without proofs is just political theatrics. And people in Nigeria are going crazy.

Does that mean that USAID is free of such accusations? No. But open the books. The US Congress has the authority to check their books and bring out the details to the public, and say, we found such and such and it does not (or no longer) align with our foreign interests, so we will do such and such. How difficult is that? But political drama is better than actual work.

Instead of holding political leaders in Nigeria responsible, we are always shouting "external influence". We need to get our acts together here. This Ali Ndume was once Majority leader and Majority Whip no to mention that he has even received a USAID award, so he should know better. But no, he's on TV posturing.

Hold your political leaders responsible? No! Not solely, not like that.

Hold every citizens, every Northerner responsible. While the security outfits may be trying to dismantle the terrorists, it is the same citizens supposing being terrorized, in the North, that shield them, fail to give them up, and so on, maybe because they are brothers or were neighbors.

Similarly in the South East.

Your political leaders are unable to do it all, nor are the small number of security outfits able to do it all (while your Northern terrorists acquire foreign highly sophisticated weapons the Nigerian military don't even have access to yet due to the country producing not selling to Nigeria, but somehow the terrorists have the foreign weapons), it takes collective efforts of the citizens, especially those affected to cooperative with the government rather than being docile or shielding them also because they collectively hate the FG, and deal to end the terrorists menace.

Blazebond:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha,oh Europe,where have your importance gone,you allowed yourself to be fooled and deceived by your white cousins from America that your brother (Russia) is your enemy, meanwhile your true enemy was the cousin from America,now you are being treated like the fools that you are and I feel no ounce of pity for you because you (Europe) are paying for your foolishness. Fnck Europe,fnck the united states and fnck White supremacists everywhere around the world.

Russia is their enemy. Has been their enemy for centuries. The history of rest of Europe with Russia had always been friend today - enemy tomorrow, and like that.

Russia had intermittently been the bully of the rest of Europe and the Europeans know their history.

Warmaterial:
Any day Germany wake up in Europe US interest don finish for Europe kpatakpata. Trump just the do anyhow.

Thank you. I still don't understand the reason the super influential and great Germany (though still devilishly terrible) is just there, letting themselves and the entire Europe have US as their string leader. Maybe because of the war.

gohf:
lol you sound like the blacks were the first ever to be enslaved. People were enslaved during the time of Abraham, during the time of Israel and even during the time of Jesus.

You said God's selective judgement, but you can't deny that God punished and judged the same Israel. I asked you for the proof that God is unfair and you mentioned blacks? Was all of Nigeria shipped and enslaved?

Do you think those who are in Britain now want to come back to Nigeria?
You sold yourselves to slavery for material things, shouldn't those who sold their brothers and sisters also be punished as well?

You now write that it God had any sympathy at all he would not have hardened Pharaoh's heart. Were you the one who made Pharaoh?

God hardens the heart of the wicked who refuse to be merciful so that they themselves do not plead for His mercy. Why should God prevent them from pleading to Him if He is as you put it, unsympathetic and wicked?

If you do wicked things and refuse to repent from them when mercy is available but continue to enjoy raping and stealing from others, accusing them and hurting them, do you think it is fair for God to let such an unrepentant person escape the consequences of his wickedness.

You keep speaking of God's fairness and sympathy but ignore that God is just as He is merciful.

Where were you when God forgave Nineveh who chose to listen and repent.

After God paid Egypt for there wickedness and Israel left with a mighty hand, was it not Pharaoh's own people that persuaded him to pursue and perish at sea. Was the split sea not enough to convince him of his foolishness.

Come to think of it. If God is that dangerous to harden a man's heart unto his destruction then what about you 🥺

Gd hardened the heart of Pharaoh in the onset to let him and his nation pay for their sins against Israelites. I believe the bible detailed it that they'd get plagues so the participants would see signs or something. You could say that Gd exactly wanted to use Egypt and its Pharaoh as example, and wanted it to be in stages.

So, should stage 1, Pharaoh then repents and lets the people of Israel go? From the book, Gd didn't want that, and wanted Pharaoh and Egypt to get all their punishments, hence hardening his heart not to repent and Gd then saying "oh, the Pharaoh had repented, now there's need for mercy/let the Egyptians not pay for their harms".

Gd is tough, yet merciful like you said.

Gd: "Pharaoh, let my people go"
Pharaoh: "No"
Gd: "Pharoah, let my people go"
Pharoah: "No!"
Gd: "Pharoah, let my people go"
Pharaoh: "No! My magicians are the finest tricksters"
Gd: "Pharaoh, I'm coming for you in 10 stages, and no one would save you!"

richmond500:
well u coined out the book of Job to be just fiction, we can also say the entire bible is fictional story and the biblical God doesn't exist

If you say the biblical Gd doesn't exist, that's ok actually, as you have right to own opinion/findings.

However, Gd exists not because of whatever, but the books written to detail their physical/realistic encounters say Gd does.

I'd say "djinns", 'irumales', 'eboras' and so on exist because many hunters, many forest dwellers said they did, and I doubt all of them would be lying.

Assuming details of covid-19 was written down, and the history is passed orally to generations ahead, then, 1000 years after, someone saying is a lie is weirdness.


The bible, old testament is mostly history, books of prophesies by prophets and some else. And the styles they are written show which is which.


I affirm historical evidences, and both oral and written histories, personally, and that's the Gd exists for me. I don't mean to impose on you, so, please, do whatsoever you find appealing. There's freewill and freedom!

No

Zech.3.1 - Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD. Satan was there at the angel's right hand, accusing Jeshua of many things.
Zech.3.2 - And the LORD said to Satan, "I, the LORD, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire."

That was a dream, not reality. Satan is the deceiver, the figure of all shades of bad, and the prophet was dreaming.

Reality -- a prophet saying "Gd told him that Gd did speak with satan, meet satan or so". That's reality. Or Gd with Elijah, with Adam and Eve, or as with Moses them, and then satan in some historical flesh or body physical. That also is reality.

The prophet you mentioned had a dream and was Satan, the figure featured in the dream for ease of understanding.

richmond500:
A psycopath is someone who doesn't feel remorse or sympathy for others, that is what ur God is.

He destroyed Egypt, killed children, destroyed livelihood, send plagues over the fault of a ruler but allowed our slave masters to torture, kill and maim us while turning a blind eye.
Ur God has a favourite and I am not serving such a nepostic being

Hey you, once again, don't "hate" Gd.

..

richmond500:
modified, I peruse through ur text and u are more into his point where God asked Satan to test job.

Well the fact that Satan (the bad guy) can go to the council where God sits is already too bad for me.

My main reason of leaving Christianity is because I didn't see any sin I committed that will allow the so called "ever merciful, ever loving" God to create hell for me and torture me for eternity.
That is not an attribute of a benevolent being.
That is a wicked, bloodlust psycopath

The book of Job isn't reality. It was the thought-up or fantasy of someone to teach people against something. Like a folktale (if you're Yoruba for example, I could say like a thought-up story of Ijapa to teach people/children against certain acts). The reason it was then compiled into the bible/Torah and so on, I find rather mischievous.

It is neither history, prophecy or poetry or wisdom, it is fantasy. A thought-up work of some, and Job wasn't exactly real but fictitious. I think I learnt that.

So, Gd and the villainous figure of fantasy didn't meet or so.


And the use of satan, snake, etc. in the bible could just be synonymous to "the deceiver". Any deceiver. A friend that deceives one to be disobedient to Gd, to one's father, to the law, to the authority.. any deceiver in short. Personally, I doubt Gd had any such interaction with the deceiver as no book of record said so (except the thought-up book of Job) and people's delusional stories.

So, don't be dismayed by the book of Job, dear you, or let the mischief intended with the compilation of the book of Job with the old testament weary you.

did God flood the earth because people did believe in him or because the wickedness of men were great upon the face of the earth?

Look is it not better to prepare to defend yourself against God peradventure he does exist. At least have knowledge to accuse Him in case you meet Him after you did. Right?

But when even on earth you lack knowledge how would you even survive a courtroom where the true record is?


Did you not read that the tomb belonged to a rich man who used to bury Jesus?

May God have mercy on those who taught you the Bible, did you ever truly listen to any reading of the Bible when you claimed you were indoctrinated?

For what reason are you guys even mixing Gd and jesus together?

Treat Gd separately, and treat the claims of jesus and his disciples separately.
