StaffofOrayan: All you have done is attack the messenger Borno is the poorest region on the planet Yet these bastardss flaunt their wealth Very soon they would be forced to relocate from that state like Zamfara citizens.
I can imagine how many police/soldiers/airforce personnel that would be deployed for this farce of a wedding. How many IDPS are in Los Angeles? Why do you defend these people that have decided to destroy your lives??
It is you that needs to STFU. Reno is as useless as his supporters are, if he is not guilty let him enter naija naaa. GEJ's PDP that Rono was a part of is responsible for the nonsense we are currently in. Have you forgotten the Orits plane in SA with cash $$? or the number of millionaires from subsidy buying private jets, or Tompolo getting govt contracts or NNPC that does not account for all the oil revenues it was getting. Yes, this govt is also corrupt, but still better than the former one. Stop hailing Reno, he, GEJ, PMB, Kyari all of them are part of our problems, period.
Roon9: Hmm... Quite anticlimactic that the 13 year old maintained a more mature chat decorum than the so called adult
for 221 mumus to like a stupid comment shows our Nigerian situation. The boy is misguided and the matured lady asked all the right questions and guided him aright.
I did my NYSC in Akwa Ibom. Two stories I heard that, 1. There are cannibals in Calaba/ AkwaIbom axis and 2. They will serve me dog meat as cow meat in restaurants. Both were all lies. In this day and age, stories of people eating people are all lies. It’s just “stories” to create unnecessary fear, bred hate, give pastors something to pray about and bind the devil about and give mumus something to give testimony on. 2. Dog meat is s delicacy and cost more money. Nobody will mistakingly serve you dog meat. You have to specifically request it and be willing to pay for it to get dog meat.
TechCapon: Shame on those so called celebrities who opened their stinky mouths to rubbish the house of God just because their faces were in the video. They should have counted it as a privilege to even appear in the video in the first place. The church has been hosting successful events in the past and the church will continue to grow and host more successful events whether their faces appear in the promo videos or not. Truth is the church doesn't need their faces for promo before they can do their programs. Stupid celebrities. God will build his church and the gates of hell shall not prevail
Imagine the nonsense this one is saying. No wonder Nigeria is full of corruption, poverty, evil, hate, oppression and CHURCHES ⛪️!!!
[quote author=Racoon post=85270370][/quote]I am not a Buhari 2nd term fan however, your lies has not helped in anyway and he is still president commander in chief.

BeLookingIDIOT: We are NOT Nigerians,we are Biafrans.We shouldn't be selling any of our great technologies to the shithole until Biafra is acheived.Now they need our trucks.Nonsense!
It is all these boasts and empty chest beating that is annoying. If you don't buy, they will accuse you of not buying, if you buy they will say you cannot do it yourself and depending on them. Imagine oh, people that are just starting off and has no customers and cannot of course compete with TATA or DAF etc.
ghettokid1: If only state governors & tyrant-buhari will quit tribalism and patronise igbo products, by this time 2030 nigeria will be surely the giant of africa. Anyway Local man salutes a good man's action.
If you quit tribalism and deep hate in your heart you will quickly realize, its Buhari's APC govt theat has done the most for the Igbos that hate him the most. Dont argue with me, ask Innoson and all the PDP Governors in Eastern Nigeria.
anonimi: Since the times of the Adam & Eve Jewish story, babes have been wiser than guys. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever may be world without end. Please note for future reference.
Yep, absolutely true. The song is on point. As i was standing there and watching the luggage, i felt so stupid and confused. How did i become a luggage watcher or "load monitor" to a stranger i just met not even on a plane but on a damn immigration queue. Well, trust me, unlike the character in Pocohantas story that did not survive the bakassi brushing, I survived it. It was rolled very well and twerked in front of me but i did not collect number or contact. Babe sef confuse. Yes, i do security work small, but the best part for me was the genuine heartfelt, "Thank you very much, I am grateful, from a fellow Nigerian.
pocohantas: Na there problem go start na. Reminds me of one babe wey I see for plane, she come dey ask me how much from airport to XYZ. I say I no know, but lets put it at 5k. She said it is much, I told her she can enter bus.
Next thing she say she wan piss. As she stand, naso nyash full everywhere and she wear those mumu spandex fabric. She was in the center. By the time she brush the man at the aisle seat with nyash. Brush am going, brush am coming back- e no reach 5mins, the guy start to introduce imsef.[b] Me sef know say e no fit survive that nyash brushing. [/b]He gave her a ride to wherever
I can imagine! Some days ago, i was on an immigration line, at YYZ, and i saw a babe conspicuously holding green Naija passport. I now nodded at her and said "Naija" and she nodded in a regretful, sighing and kinda lamenting manner, i was really pissed. I now brought out my own Naija pkali and showed her saying "Proudly Nigerian" she now smiled, and grimaced. Folks for line were now discussing how its very cold and there is a huge surge on Uber, LIFT and all. Babe now asked me where i was coming from and i mentioned a US city and babe said it's her first time in Canada, she has US$s, (which is ok btw) no Canadian$ bla-bla-bla if we can share uber or taxi. I told her am picking up a reserved rental. Me that's always absent minded and usually clueless to vibes, silent suggestions etc unless its explicitly stated verbally, now noticed Babe waka for my front, deliberately removed the sweater-like cloth covering the jeans pant (trouser) so the bakassi will be in full glare. Then babe now asked if i could drop her, i now told babe jokingly say she fine well well, and just like Atiku, i have stopped womanising and if i drop her, one thing one thing, thinking say i dey smart and full of wits. Babe come laugh say make i no worry i fit still "try my luck" who knows. Then, before i sabi how far, babe now said she wanted to use baffroom abeg, she now left with her carry-on leaving me with her other two bags for cart. So all of sudden, a whole me, as i see myself reach, I became a luggage watcher for airport. That was how i knew this babe dey witty pass me, get sense pass me, no two ways about it. So, when she came back. I still insisted say i'm sorry i no fit drop am, all the best in Canada waka dey go. Then i come say to myself, No, this na fellow Naija, then i came back, got her address and ubered her on my account to her destination which took a while and wasted my time and told her to pay it forward.
Good for you. That was my question. You will find clear answers to why arabic and not your dear english and why you do the same thing over and over again, whether youre happy, sad, depressed, joyful, travelling, at home, work, business, you still get up and do your salat. I have pointed you in the direction, requires patience and time.
midnighter: Where exactly is your question? Quote it again because your posts are not making sense.
This belief that you have..... Adam was created by God, now God gave him a command, he disobeyed. Now, all his offsprings are guilty of that sin. Now, God the father had to sacrifice God the son, to be beaten, striped almost naked, and nailed on the cross and left on the cross with thieves to die before he can forgive that original sin.
midnighter: Lol ya akhi...there was actually nothing "clear" about that post and I was struggling to read it There is only one question in there that was clearly indicated with a question mark, and I answered it.
Tsbah aala kheir!
I asked about the "Belief" that your whole original sin is based on as well as the necessary blood atonement before sin can be forgiven.
Did you check your mail, my sister in the lord? I used to think its ozingo zingoo......praise thy lord!
midnighter: People who lived righteously prior to the crucifixion are okay, since they had faith that the Messiah was coming to vindicate them and trusted in God to deliver them, though they had not yet actually seen Jesus. There are prophecies and predictions throughout the Old Testament encouraging them of this fact
All those people are saved
At the bolded, God did forgive him. Just because God punishes you or allows you to face the consequences of your actions, it does not mean that He has not forgiven you.
Wrongdoing and sin need to be punished.
You did not answer the clear questions i asked. I guess you just believe it period. Its like religion. Dogma!
midnighter: Yes, thats why I am qualifying it by saying that its the sinful nature and its consequences that the person inherits and not just that you are simply doomed because of what somebody did thousands of years ago. Adam made it so that he TENDED TOWARDS SIN rather than towards God, and now WE ALL TEND TOWARDS SIN rather than God. Therefore we cannot enter the presence of God without an intercessor who is Jesus.
Jesus died once as a perfect and total sacrifice for all sins committed, being committed and about to be committed, now WE ALL are free from sin, so far as we accept the gift of His blood
Thats why, if you read my next post on the matter, I said that there are implications for taking those scriptures LITERALLY because the book of Genesis is written in a particular creative style and not as a literal account, like the Gospels
These are the contentious parts. Adam was created by God, now God gave him a command, he disobeyed. God did not forgive him. Now, all his offsprings are guilty of that sin. Now, God the father had to sacrifice God the son, to be beaten, striped almost naked, and nailed on the cross and left on the cross with thieves to die before he can forgive that original sin. Now, those that are of different faiths are doomed from that original sin, how about those that existed before Christ and so many others
midnighter: Every single human being, as a descendant of Adam, bears the guilt for that original action. That was the curse placed on Adam and Eve for their disobedience.
It doesnt seem fair. Curses rarely do, to the "cursee"...!
The baby is not actually guilty because of his inbuilt selfishness; the baby is CONSIDERED guilty because of his inbuilt selfishness. Those two things are different.
Don't you think that contradicts the bible verse that says "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. (Ezek 18:20)
midnighter: God did not create original sin. God created us with the capacity to decide whether to do right or wrong; when we choose to do wrong it contravenes Gods law and brings about natural punishment such as suffering and stuff like that.
Not that it's the persons fault but the fact that there is sin in the world means that there are also consequences for that sin.
Personally I'm not sure if I take the original sin paradigm literally ; I see it as a metaphor for the fact that human beings are naturally wired to commit sinful actions out of selfishness.
So your assertion that the person "knows nothing about" it is wrong to me, because everybody has the ability and even tendency to do the wrong thing.
Hmm, the question he/she is asking is so, a new born baby by way of inheritance has on his head the sins committed centuries ago? Or by your analogy, a baby is already guilty of Sins, because he is naturally wired to commit sinful actions out of selfishness?
Imagine these kids will grow up without a mother and they will learn their mother was stabbed to death. We actually need a revolution in Nigeria. There are too many poor and frustrated people, there are too many rich politicians and rich pastors and rich imams, there is bad leadership, there is huge unemployment, there is injustice, lack of rule of law, and most importantly, huge corruption. We all are unsafe.
midnighter: Excuse me! Just excuse me because you are irritating me.
Did you ask me whether I did research or not? No.
You do not need to quote Qur'anic scripture every time you make a statement about Islam. You do not need to quote from a source absolutely every time you say something. You can do that if you want to to corroborate your point or if somebody asks you to prove it.
If I make the statement "Salat is one of the 5 pillars of Islam" do I need to look for a source that says that before we take it as a given? No.
Stop trying to undermine me by mentioning idle gossip as if there is anything wrong with my brain. If I make a statement you can either ask me to corroborate it with a source or hold your peace.
Dont talk down to anybody here, because we are not Muslims does not mean any of us are stupid so just stop with that condescending tone.
You totally misunderstood me. Its because i hear these things amongst non-muslims that just paint Islam with a brush of misunderstanding and misconceptions. I agree i should've asked you for your source. My mistake.
midnighter: Just because the Qur'an never said it, it doesnt mean people dont believe it. Its widely known that people go to extreme lengths to drink that water believing that it will cure their diseases even though some of it is fake and some of it is contaminated with poisonous metals.
The Qur'an is not the only source of guidance; what about the hadeeth, fiqh and modern Islamic scholars? What about Islamic culture, literature and art? So many people do not have a good enough understanding of Qur'anic Arabic to be able to read it themselves which is why they have to rely on other sources.
Its true that Islam says that listening to music is a sin unless the music is exclusively sung with male voices and only uses a simple drumbeat.
This is not true. Its just like some people will say women are not allowed to wear trousers? where is that written? No where is it written that music is bad. Again you have to define clearly what is talked about. there are so many Nasheeds that people listen to.
But most people do not follow this interpretation, in fact even Saudi Arabia has a very old pre-Islamic music tradition which they have continued despite this ruling
Again this is not true. Somethings are just interpretations. Now as an example, the Prophet (SAW) did not like onions. Now the prophet was sent as a guide to us and we are supposed to live our life the way he lived, now this is sunnah. Now, not liking onions is personal and has nothing to do with faith. Some people cannot differentiate and they will say i dont eat onions and they will not eat onions just because the prophet did not like onions as a human being and it has nothing whatsoever to do with faith. Onions is good for you and you should eat it as a muslim. That is the difference, misunderstanding and misconceptions amongst some muslims. Same thing wilth using a blanket to cover all Music. That is wrong.
That was my personal opinion on the matter; I personally believe that repeating all that stuff does not make anything meaningful. You should at least be able to worship at your discretion to some extent.
But what you have explained here does make some sense.
The English that we speak today due to colonialism bears little resemblance to the English spoken in times of old, which is why the Bible has been translated into a modern version that the common man can understand
You cannot compare this to Qur'anic Arabic which is ancient and takes years and years of study to understand.
Just because you can lead prayer in any muslim place because the language is uniform, it does not mean that you understand the depth of what you are saying.
Even I could go and read the "Bismillah ir-rahman ir-raheem...." if I wanted to, and still recite it without knowing what on earth I was saying!
Excuse me, why should God tell us that Arabic is the best of languages? So all of us who dont speak Arabic, our languages are sub-standard or stupid or what Arabic is a beautiful language but no language is superior over the other. This idea of Arabic language supremacy is why some Arabs look down on other practising muslims and also why a lot of muslims suffer from slave mentality and inferiority complex when in the presence of Arabs.
Midnighter, God said the jews are "chosen people", God said Honey is very good and a healing for you, God said he has revealed the quran in arabic so you may "understand". It is indeed a unique language. Note that God said the male is not better than the female and neither is the female better than the male, and that the best of you is the most pious. In another place God said the Arab is not better than the non arab and neither is the non Arab better than the Arab, all of you are from Adam (first creation) and Adam is from Dust. Arabic is a language and you have arabs. There are people in Nigeria that speaks english better than the Queen. You need to understand how languages are structured. Hausa for example is clearer and broken down in grammatical terms of how a language should be. You have masculine and feminine gender well defined. So, in hausa language, what is your name for male is different from female, Igbo and yoruba is not like that. However, Yoruba is a more growing and descriptive language. Radio and television has yoruba descriptive words for them however in Hausa it is radio and talbison, same english words why? cos these things came after the language was formed. Yoruba has a word for computer but i bet you there is no Igbo word for Computer. So, some languages are way better than others in so many aspects. Ask a linguist and you will be amazed how rich arabic is. Also, it is obligatory on every muslim to learn of arabic what his capacity enables him to do. That is why you have the word "The Ugly American" cos americans only speak english however, Europeans speaks more than one language on the average and North Africans speak Arabic, french and English. Again, this is your worldview, research more and you will be amazed that a lot of things does not jive with what you know or believe, most exp when you research.
"Hob" means love and "Raheem" means mercy; I do not see anything difficult in translating those words into English and I do not see anything superior about the language that people should be forced to pray in it.
Again, this is a poor translation. If you begin to open this up, to what Hub and Raheem actually means, you will be amazed.
midnighter: You have absolutely no right to assume the bolded; if I interact with several Muslims and they all tell me the same thing, read something in a published book about Islam or from an internet source, then you can only tell me that you dispute it, not that I must have gotten it from hearsay.
Do not patronise me or talk down on me because Im not interested in that. Why not ask me where I got such ideas from instead of assuming that I must have gotten it from idle gossip or dumb rumour?
You are just assuming that I am too stupid to understand whether something is true or not or that I have never interacted with a Muslim in my entire life, which is quite insulting of you, isnt it?
@Midnighter, i based my assumptions on the fact that there are authentic sources for beliefs, practices and established norms. There are also, idle gossips and interpretation of these things. You need to focus on the authentic sources. In the villages, people learn arabic by writing on slates with dye (uli), now, there are malams that write prayer verses, wash it off and drink it believing it will cure ailments etc. Just like those letters of indulgences of the Catholic Church back in the day. These are all practices, yes they have a source and over time people believe in them. Now, in Islamic circles, the prayer of Jonah when he was in the belly of the fish was answered. Laillahailla anta Subhanaka ini kuntum minal zolimin. Since this prayer worked for Jonah, (Yunus) it is believed to be a powerful prayer in times of difficulty. So, there are origins, sources to these beliefs. So, i expect you to at least do your research and not quote or beleive. Now, if you notice miracles are not as common as they used to be. Also, all the Nigerian mega churches are all in the USA. They have major crusades mostly in Texas, however, one thing is missing here, miracles! You wont see one single miracle performed or talked about, why cos the USA is a country of laws and they are not as lazy as Nigerians. Someone will most definitely trace the history of any miracle performed and burst you out. so If you go by what most people say or believe, you have to talk about other factors as well and most importantly quote a source in the quran or hadith. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]
You people have several sects and schools of thought so its wrong of you to assert that I must be wrong just because you specifically follow a particular line of thought.
Thank you for acknowledging the idiocy of your co-religionist in your second paragraph; I am glad that you can see bad behaviour and condemn it no matter the faith of the perpetrator.
phantom24: the car is not produced in the north so they'll never support d brand. I remember peugot was once d official cars used nationwide by govt. Officials and it
Hate will forever keep you down and in your position. It’s the patronage from federal govt that bought so many of innoson for the Army, that they now have money to do more but you and your cohorts that voted PDP will never see anything good in it. Actually the North should start making vehicles as well since your lot do not believe in one Nigeria and is full of hate no matter what this govt do for them
blackslayer: Yes! I didn't "graduate university"...Olodo....
Or Maybe you just passed through school. A University Graduate will be enlightened enough to understand what a graduate of water engineering must have passed through and accomplished. For you to make a mockery of it means you're uneducated. That is a fact bro. Get some education bro.
midnighter: It is not my analogy, its yours. Have you forgotten?
Yeye doesnt mean you are insulting me, in the united republic of nairaland right? So what does it mean
I marvel at how you people believe that drinking zamzam water will cure your ills
The Quran never said that, the prophet did not teach that. However, the zamzam was a miracle from God for Hajara (Hagai) when her baby Ismael was thirsty. Now, since this is a miracle from God, people believe in it and its powers. It has equally healed and cured some people based on their beleif.[b][/b]
That listening to music is a sin, when it just cant be
That it is a sin to draw a living creature, when it isnt. It isnt!
The Prophet (SAW) reminded people going to a wedding to take a singer along since the brides clan likes music. Also, swordplay dancing and competition is accompanied with music and the prophet (SAW) used to carry his wife Aisha (RA) on his shoulder to watch it. You have to qualify the music. Micheal Jacksons "Heal the World" has good content and its ok, while soppy for example is bad content and bad music.
That it is actually practicable and effective to stop what youre doing 5 times a day, repeating the same thing thousands of times a year, in an ancient language which takes at least 5 years of continuous study to understand at a basic level, when it clearly is not
(It is worship, not just praying. That is the purpose for which we were created. You don't pick and choose, your creator established worship of him for you. You have 24 hours in a day. you dont want to use 1.15 hr to worship your creator? Internationally 15mins is allowed for prayers. Also, this forms the 5 joints of the day. You wake up you worship and start your day right, midday during lunch, you take a break you worship, by closing time, 4p.m you worship, now by dinner time its getting dark ure home you worship, then you say your night prayers and go to bed.) Also, you learned all the languages you speak today, including your mothers tonque, English since they colonized you and anyone that suits your fancy. Now the Quran was revealed in arabic and for uniformity, you worship in arabic. I have gone to spanish speaking areas where they dont speak englsih and i dont speak spanish and i can lead a prayer there and all. Also, the God said Arabic is the best of languages and you really need to know arabic and you will be marvelled by it. The arabic word Al Rahman, you will see Most Compassionate, most merciful, etc, it takes so many englsih word to translate into arabic. As a matter of fact the word Hubb, everlasting, never ending, forever growing LOVE. Cannot be explained in any other word. [b][/b]
I marvel at so many things you people do yet I cant describe you as yeye during a discussion so just humour all of us dear.
Yes, the trinitarian ideology and idea of sacrificing a son has been around for a long time before Christianity came, that does not mean that it is not true.
The idea of a God and a prophet has been there since, does it mean Islam is a lie?
You are just being facile for no good reason. Facile and arrogant! Like I said, serious Muslims dont talk like that.
You should study "Islam" to understand it and not what people say or tell you. So many of your assumptions above are wrong. I explained some. However some of the things you said, i think you should rethink. The bible says he is dishonest in little is dishonest in much. You don't just accept things or do things without a source, a command from God or justification, else we will all do what we wish, that is why there is so much confusion, lies, false preaching, church rules, sect rules (bokoharam, shite,) etc in Nigeria.
I agree with you absolutely, @sulasa07 was abusive and pointing finger and that is wrong. Sulasa07, the prophet (SAW) lived amongst Christians and gave letters to muslims to give to Christian leaders for protection and to live peacefully under Christian rules. The quran says the Christians are closest to you in friendship, brotherhood etc. As a matter of fact you as a muslim man can marry a Christian lady and by your islamic faith, you cannot force her to become muslim. She has a right to practice her christian faith, so pls do not condemn, or make a mockery of any religion or faith. May Allah guide us aright, amen.
ChristineC: come here and shoot na, shebi na only you sabi carry gun? ensure you are also equipped with anti-puncture skin.
it will soon progress to much more than just beating for them and even their families. at that point they either fix the country or remain permanently in the shithole they created. rabbish!
You obviously do not live abroad. You cannot attack someone. You talking now, if i don't like what you are saying, can i hire people to slap ya face? That is not the way to go about it. If i am a Govt official, i will arm myself with protection, if i am attacked like Ekweremadu, i will shoot to kill. Trust me, no one will try that nonsense again.
Tonnexy: Why did they only attack you, why didn't they break your head. Orji uzor kalu is gone, you are next.
I guess lots of people are not aware you have right to bear carry arms and "Stand your ground" abroad. Until someone gets shot, these mumus will not understand you cannot attack or become law enforcement. You can always riddicle, insult, shame non performing politicians without attacking them. Also, Amaechi is a PERFORMER. He developed Rivers State, his progress so far, PDP does not come close and can't compare in their 16 years of misrule. So why all the hate?
