The law school should rise above its rules and recognize people have diverse human rights which they need to uphold.


A lawyers' wig is not affected by the wearing of an hijab. Especially when its not worn for the sole intention of flouting rules. Her hijab is her way of life and is worn 247.

Nice........



Church architecture is one of the best and helps to beautify the naija space.

Anytime I see the old church at CMS even in pictures its like WOW

mgbadike81:
lawyers in the USA doesn't wear the wig and gown,they don't even have a specific dress code because I have seen American lawyers appear in court dressed in blue suits.I want to see lawyers in Britain and other secular Commonwealth countries with a similar dress code with Nigeria admit a female lawyer wearing a hijab then I would take this serious.

Apparently Nigeria's sovereignty is based on the commonwealth. Talk another thing I beg.


Even if you see evidence of a British hijabi being called to the bar, you will still disagree based on bias.

The similitude of this is:

Why is Nelson Mandela fighting when his people have been enslaved for centuries. Failing to call that lady to the bar is UNJUST.

Guess this is why main chicks cheat. Cos they fare better as side chicks......




......You do the maths

She used bronzer , concealer etc on all the exposed part.

Apparently its not easy to achieve perfection. Serious photo editing too.

Mynd44:
Uniforms are there for a reason. Take that away and we will descend into chaos.

Celestial Church of Christ members are not allowed to wear black at all. Imagine what will happen if we say "lets allow the hijabi" based on her religion. Do we do the same for the Cele members?

We can make a case for the total removal of the uniform as it creates an environment where you cannot practice your freedom of religion and expression but to make a case where we will allow the uniform and allow hijabis is not going to end well.

Muslims don't have a uniform, rather they have a consistent head covering always there 247.

On this basis they are not alike. I wont expect less from a nun who wears her habit 247.

That is not a Friday or Sunday uniform. And it doesn't stop them from been successful.

kngblacq:
I'm a guy who comes from a Christian home but don't really like Christianity, going to church is like a punishment for me because everything they do there looks somehow to me, so I have been studying Islam for a while and I love the religion, would love to know more about it. People who have converted to Islam from Christianity should share their experiences, how they dealt with family pressure and backlash. I want to know what I'm getting into before taking that decision. Thanks.

@ OP, religion is a journey.
First you learn, Understand then start to act on it.


Try not to overburden yourself and set your own pace.

My personal experience:
Learning the Quran and hadith leaves less room for conjectures and makes life easier.

(there is a difference between Islamic dress and Arab dressing) (the compulsory aspects are few and easy- it is actually people who overburden themselves in matters of religion)

That is how we used to do is not a basis for religious matters.

I cant criticize her actions even though I'm one of the People who make compromises in their religion .............

Here is a lady who stands for what she believes in. That rule is not set in stone and has no bearing on being called to the bar.


A rule that allows a hornets' nest (or is it a viper's nest self) to be placed on a lawyer's head but will not allow you to use your everyday head covering?


Lady visionaries have started using their hijab in sports and this has not hindered their success.

Their hijab is a way of life and does not hinder their accomplishments. People seem to have more right going naked than dressing up. (all in the name of its their body)

Do you think the lab coat makes a better doctor, or the suit makes a better executive

Hedonistically:
Nigerian law enforcement agencies always rely too much on prima facie evidence and the self-indicting "explanation" or "confession" of suspects. This is laziness of the highest order, and is one of the reasons why corruption cannot be defeated at this time.

Granted, the director is clearly corrupt - as EVERY OTHER civil servant and public office holder in Nigeria is (including the so-called investigators themselves and the High Court Judge handling the case). But that is besides the point.

The investigators have not established a paper trail showing exactly how the director stole public funds and illegally acquired his assets. The charge that he could not "explain or justify" his wealth is absolute nonsense. To begin with he is not obligated by law to explain anything to you. Besides, you are not competent to arbitrarily decide whether his explanation is acceptable or not.

What you should do and must do is to investigate how he corruptly acquired the funds and how he illegally acquired his assets. Which contracts were illegally awarded or inflated? Which kickbacks were paid and how were they paid? Which documents were forged? Which government funds were unremitted? Etc. Etc. That's the hard work in criminal investigation, and you cannot shy away from such hard work! It is daft to just rush to court and say that somebody cannot explain their wealth.

Without this, I'm sorry the case before the court is watery, and the director and his brother will easily be acquitted even with an average lawyer.

Your comment is so on point.

As I was reading I was expecting evidence of the trail of money.

We have so many forensic accountants but its tiring to read all this kind of news.


All those things are imported. How were they paid for, from which accounts, how were the accounts funded. If anyone pays cash for the abuja houses (billions of naira will still leave a trail.)


True this matter is just tiring.....

We have the TSA, there is a limit to a director's expenditure approval. So is it from kickbacks or is he laundering money for someone else

This is a very good article.

Provides specific names and exposes lapses. Kudos to the journalists who wrote this.

Highlights:
NNPC keeps selling to private depot creating a longer value chain that can increase price.

This private depot act unchecked and dispense at prices above ex depot price.

Its obvious that we can get fuel at less than N145 if NNPC delivers at N117.










Why is this not on front-page??

See centuries old artefacts.


Our culture , history is so colourful

She's very pretty.




And I love that black. Just off light and you are gone. Stealth mode activated.

Naija number one all the way.

Wow that's incredible.



Coke suppose pay huge for the free advert. That wooden crate was legend.

Looks more like a US enemy list.

Nigeria that expatriates come to and refuse to go back. Everything is cheap and we are so tolerant.

Where in the world will someone kill and roast a dog for food and his neighbour will not complain. .



On a serious note: The rankings are pure LIES, how do you rank reputation, tolerance etc.

My personal opinion:


I can understand girl gay relationship.
I can understand one person in a man gay relationship.




But that last man that allows his anus to be destroyed day in day out . Hmmm Na wa 4 U.

Revert means goes back to former state.

Convert is a change.

God created man to worship Him only Him. That is man's natural state. He only changes that state by developing other ideologies.



So Muslims we were born submitting and worship only One God. So you revert back to God.

And was the picture that of the actor?

Coup of a frail 90year old man


He was already dead. They just removed his body from the presidential chair. Typical US strategy- catch them nearly by old age and then strike!!!!

Please the AU should take over and ensure free fair elections old and a good power structure is established. All lives matter.

Even in Mugabe's sleep they could have replaced him with somebody else and he wouldn't have known. He was that old.





Even the vice president should not retain power and should hold general elections. AU should support this.

Nigerians are just shouting on Afrima stage.

That is not singing.


All the other countries represented well so it couldn't have been the sound system.....




Nice show all round though.

To think that 6 years after Libyans have not known peace. And the country is in disarray.

But some people will still not learn that most suffer in war. The people who profit at the sellers of weapons.

This story is sweeeet. Please add more and include more pictures.



Heard Ghana has 247 light and no old woman for Ghana.

They had no justification under any religious tenets for doing that. You are not even allowed to insult people back during fasting.

In fact if anyone seeks your trouble you are meant to say I'm fasting and leave that spot.

Such an act would have nullified their fast. And you can't enjoin the fast on a non Muslim (was the man the only one in that area eating?)


Like I said #freethesheeple. If people would stop listening to men and understand the word of God.

aribisala0:
But Fashola insulted Sango
Christians believe Jesus is God so when they say he is just a man is that an insult?

Then you direct your query to Fashola so named above. Muslims should not have to answer for everyone's spoken word or action.


Did he say that in the capacity of representing his religion?

aribisala0:
No Christian will agree with you that Jesus is a prophet and you saying so is actually provocative and disrespectful

but you don't see it that way.

I understand because I am neither Christian nor Muslim though I have read the Quran and Bible and continue to do so.

Anyone who has read both books will know that Muhammad copied lot from the bible and adjusted it for political power

Now that is an opinion which may be offensive to Muslims but CANNOT be a no go area just as challenging the divinity of Jesus CANNOT be a no go area.

That is what this thread is about. There are many who believe Islam, Christianity or indeed all religion is fabricated and they should be allowed to speak without violence

Like Freeze has done I will tell you Jesus is a prophet based on the bible.

"Father forgive them for they know not what they....." Was a prayer from Jesus to God.

"hear o Israel thy Lord God is one God" was what Jesus told the Israel.



"I am not sent but to .... Etc etc""


These are what a Muslim will tell you with no insult intended.


Now see what a Christian will reply when you ask for their proof:

Their prophet is a fornicator, raping small children (very baseless as records of age are not readily available, even Khadijah has a 20 year gap in her estimated age on wiki).

You are terrorist. Do you want to bomb ( bros we asked you a valid question you haven't answered)

Or abusing god who they think belong only to the Muslim because the name is in Arabic.




For me a clear difference between addressing an issue and attacking the person you are conferring with.....


Muslims are not disturbing the witches and wizards or the traditionalists. We know the people who will not let birds rest just because of their fear of the traditionalists.

No other work of antiquity can stand like the Qur'an!!!!



Recited daily. Transcribed into many languages yet the original language is always included. People learn Arabic just to keep the language of its revelation alive.



Arabic one of the oldest languages still existing similar in nature to the language spoken by Jesus (the Aramaic language).

The pic is somehow. That is how hausa's bury their dead.



Can we confirm this news 100%?

If you hear war... You must run.



It's such a wonder how years after killing Ghaddaffi, Libya is still in such disarray.


All lives matter. Stop the war and embrace peace.

Last year it was Igbo man refusing to fast.

Igbo man not fasting

Haba where do this stories come from

zionmde:
That line u will never see a muslim insult Jesus bla bla bla bla is wat u should be telling people who dont truly know u guys. Now let me clear u, d jesus u muslims believe is not our Jesus. U dont insult ur jesus but u insult our Jesus. I have lived amongst muslims for a long time and i have heard unspeakable insults to our Jesus. The Jesus (of Christianity ) has no single relationship with jesus of islam, just as there is nothing in common between us both. So ur mohammed deserves no respect from me because to me the guy is from the devil the same way i dont require u to respect Jesus because the personality should mean nothing to u. Where tolerance comes to play is that i ignore ur insults to my beliefs and u ignore mine.
Can u tell me wat insult the woman who lost her head in kano dished out to mohammed, so even if she insulted him u are telling me she deserves to die and u still use the same mouth to tell me islam is tolerant. gerrrrout

Do u know wat a muslim use to threaten someone's life. this is th exact word "it only take allah ahkbar and u become a story"

Please if u know tolerance is not embedded in ur religion just close ur mouth and stop trying to defend rubbish. I guess chop chop square in saudi arabia is where tolerance is really taught
useless religion

And this is why we need to teach people about the books. Stop following your Alfa or pastor, they are not the law.


A Muslim cannot insult any of the prophets. And only a person of very limited knowledge will be saying our Jesus your Jesus. Some people even go ahead and differentiate our God your God. Some will abuse Allah and say his own his Yahweh.


God has a name in every language. In the bible the name Elah is synonymous with Allah. Technically all you just did is you just insulted .......


We really need to address this Hate that will not let us understand.



How many churches are in the North? Some Christians call God Allah in the North. How have this churches survived? Why was there an incident of conflict

These are the questions you should ask. An incident does not make a whole. A fight at Alaba does not mean Ibos are always troublesome. A fight at Mile12 does not mean hausa are always looking for trouble. You look for the cause of the conflict and address it while not ignoring that they've been coexisting peacefully for decades.

Humanistme:
Muslims do the same. they create anti Christian threads too.



terrorism is A form of psychological manipulation through warfare to the purpose of political or religious gains, by means of deliberately creating a climate of fear amongst the inhabitants of a specific geographical region.

so tell me how what the likes of shekau do is not terrorism. note it is different from a Muslim commites crime because of other reasons apart from religion.










there are Christian terrorists too. mind you the person who carried out the church massacre is not a Christian. he is atheist.



well there is ese oruru case and the latest 25 teenagers discovered in emir palace in Abuja





non Christians criticized pastors too during the debates





ideas can be criticized and that includes your religion. Christians, Catholics get bashed from left to right what makes your religion special?




you can ad well check Christian topics too you will see the same hate




I agree. all ideas including your religious or philosophical ideas are open to criticism.

The trend on nairaland is atheists disrupt Christian threads and Christians disrupt Muslim threads.


Muslims know what the bible say: It's one of the books we believe in....... Muslims would rather challenge your tenets based on what the books say..... (e.g if Jesus prayed to God, how can Jesus be God)


But head on insults and hate speech...... We get that from the Atheists and Christians. ( e.g a man shows of his Muslim family- comments include terrorist, na so them they kill, for night them go de bomb).


I mean...............just help yourself to the many threads that show this sickening comments.






Modified: How did you get to the conclusion the killer was an atheist 26 people killed and no topic appeared. Killer's religion are rarely mentioned when they are Christian.
