Pierocash: This religion of trouble have taken their madness to covenant University. They always disobey constituted authorities using religious clog as a means.
If a Christian dares wears anything like rosary, cross, or any attire depicting Christianity to access a Muslim environment,this children of hate and perdition will call it blasphemy,and murder the innocent Christian.
But see them ,always taking their foolishness to other religious environment and lord it over everyone. We know that your religion allows you to wear anything you want, you can even walk naked if you choose to. Islam preaches modesty and that is what we are teaching our children.
Ofunaofu: CBN shouldn't have bothered to respond to that lie, falsehood and propaganda that emanated from the staples of Tinubu's The Nation Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda newspaper
Having lost scandalously in Lagos even with Tinubu on the ballot during the presidential election and with an imminent defeat come this Saturday, they have resorted to spreading lies and falsehood. It is their stock in trade
Use your head dude! Emefiele does not have the moral right to talk because Nigerians know what he did during the APC Presidential primary.
Where did this come from now? Useless people using Yoruba agenda to deceive people. What was your relevance when you were a senator? This man cannot even allow Mapoly students to fetch water outside his house when he was a senator.
MonsieurX: Every sane person knows MURIC is a cheap religious bigot. Wasn't he suspected of receiving money from Boko Haram/ISWAP which was swept under the carpet?
If the DSS investigates that man well, he probably has links with terrorists and terrorist organizations. He is one of those ticking time bombs in Nigeria.
People like you are the problem we have in this country. You have to lie that you are a Muslim before you posted your offensive comment. Since you have concluded that Prof. has a link with Boko Haram and terrorist, if you are arrested by the DSS to come and substantiate your accusations now, your people will be shouting that you have being victimised by the government. It also shows that you people lack proper home training and your religion does not teach you how to tolerate others. You will never see a Muslim commenting rubbish on other religious posts because Islam teaches us to tolerate others.
So, the difference in belief didn't stop the girl and her family from collecting the man's money and gifts
When you dey chop the man money you didn't remember he's not of the same belief with you?
This is what Nigerian men go through in the hands of these demons, but , they should always remember, not every man is as gentle and passionate like Nigerian men.
I pray God should forgive her and let her soul rest in peace.
Must you comment on this topic since you don't have any logical things to say? Endeavour to read through a story before commenting on it. Thank you.
Wonders shall never end! Imagine Ortom opening his mouth and talking rubbish. Somebody that fail woefully as a governor is accusing another party of failure. At least Ikpeazu can show us the flyover that he built in Abia but this yeyenatu Ortom can’t show us anything in Benue.
DOTian: Very strong and erudite Igbo woman! She says it as it is. Calls out the powerfully evil both when they're alive and when they're dead! Doesn't pander to all sorts of wired sentiments. Typical traits of her forefathers. Very very proud of this woman!
These people always claim that they are religious people but they are doing the opposite of what their religion taught them. Why would any sane person mock the dead when you yourself don't know when and how you are going to die?
DaddyFreeze2020: Most of Tinubu's supporters are majorly the conk Yorubas with high level of tribal tendencies and hate for the economic successes of the Igbos. They see the Igbos as a threat to them because the Igbos are quite rich, are also well educated and informed.
You cannot easily deceive the Igbos like it would have been if it was 'awon Mallam' as they call the Hausas/Northerners
It is obvious that it is you people that have serious problem but your eyes will clear by 2023.
Inasmuch everyone should be free to support their candidates without physical harassment. Sowore is a fool for saying Obi's campaigners ranked highest in intolerance. Harassing a physically challenged Peter Obi supporter by Tinubu urchins doesn't hurt Sowore.
You just shown exactly what Sowore said. I don't know why it is an offence to support another candidate. Must you people compel other people to support your candidate? I thought this harassment is only on social media until my colleagues at office displayed their own madness because I am not supporting their anointed candidate. I wonder what is going to happen when your candidate loses the election in February.
Mumu, where in the story did you read that he is a Muslim? You people are so desperate to link every thing to Islam and Tinubu. Are you sure the man is not your brother because it is your oga that is wearing black clothes.
Shey this newspaper don turn fact check newspaper?
Since social media is full of fake news, it is good to have a reputable newspaper giving us the opportunity to read the true reports in our dear country. It is obvious that PO supporters are ready to destroy the unity of the country by posting fake news on social media of Tinubu but God will shame them. Aṣiwaju is the next president of Nigeria come 2023 by God's grace.
I wonder the kind of journalism that boy is practicing, what I see is a copy and paste or what is termed the “armchair journalist “ . And what do you expect from omo Egun, omo aijebe ri?
Imagine if this happened in South West, our people from the East will be abusing Tinubu and the whole Yoruba together. The kerosene that they collected before the election is enough for them to solve their problems.
hopeforcharles: Why must Islam be always associated with violence? Can't things be resolved in a peaceful way? A baptist Church is a Christian Church and should follow chirstain values.
I laugh when people like you talk like this. Christians are the ones that are fond of doing things like this but they will quickly label Muslims as fanatics or fundamentalists. I have seen cases where Christians compelled Tukish school in Abuja to build a church for their children inside the school. Were they forced to bring their children to their school too? Another one is Al'hikmah University where the Christians said they should change the name to english. Were they compelled to bring their children to their school too?
Islam does not need the any archeological evidence from the West before we believe and follow it. Compelling evidences are in the Quran for those who are on the right path. Why don't you concentrate on your own religion and try to look for the original Bible instead of the one that the West gave you?
Adejoke123: Over the years, there have always been debate about who the greatest Nigerian Player of all time is. Kanu Nwankwo launched Nigerians to the Internal scene by being one of the first Nigerians to play for major European big boys and winning the Champions League in 1995 with Ajax.
Firstly, the greatest of all time (GOAT) is always a controvefield. This is because people use different criteria in determining who the GOAT is, and that’s why it is subjective.
But it is important to note that there’s a difference between the greatest and best player ever. Best is about ability alone while the other encapsulates everything, and that’s why I believe Ronaldo is the greatest player of his generation.
Having explained what greatness is all about, I have decided to narrow down the players that can be considered as Nigeria’s greatest player ever to three.
No disrespect to the likes of Segun Odegbami, Felix Owolabi, and Christian Chukwu, but they don’t tick all boxes, and also, they only appeal to older generations.
So the players I have picked are John Mikel Obi, Nwankwo Kanu and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha. The criteria I used in picking out this three are honours, influence, popularity and then talent.
While the likes of Sunday Oliseh, Finidi George, Victor Ikpeba and Emmanuel Amuneke also have a shout, I decided to go for those three because they tick all boxes.
Before revealing my choice, I’ll take a look at their careers.
Mikel is the most successful player among the three following his success with Chelsea. The 32-year-old won two Premier League titles, three FA Cups, the Champions League and Europa League during his time with the Blues.
However, while titles are important in a player’s career, it is unfair to use it as the lone criterion in the ‘GOAT’ debate.
Titles won is a function of the team, and in fairness, Mikel won these titles because he played in a time Chelsea dominated English football.
Although he made over 300 appearances for the Blues, he was not really that important in the team. Chelsea would still have won those trophies without Mikel.
He did not have the same influence as Drogba, Lampard or Terry even though he featured regularly. On the international scene, Mikel won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013, but his national team career mirrored that of his club career.
He had over 80 caps for Nigeria, but Mikel never imposed his authority in games. He was named captain following Enyeama’s retirement, but he was overshadowed by the likes of Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa in big games.
While his time as captain was commendable, his influence on the pitch was average at best.
The second name on my list is Kanu Nwankwo. Like Mikel, Kanu also had a successful club career first with Ajax and later with Arsenal.
The lanky forward won the Champions League, three Eredivisie titles, the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup with Ajax.
After leaving Ajax, Kanu joined Inter Milan where he won the UEFA Cup. He left Inter to sign for Arsenal, and during his time with the Gunners, he won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups.
He also won the FA Cup with Portsmouth, scoring the winner in 2008. However, unlike Mikel, Kanu was a key player in some of the teams he played for.
At Arsenal, he is fondly remembered for the hat-trick he scored against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. At the same time, he also scored some great goals against Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough and Deportivo La Coruna.
As stated earlier, he also scored the goal that won Portsmouth the FA Cup in 2008. He also won a lot of individual honours.
Kanu is a two time BBC and CAF African Player of the year, while he also finished 11th and 23rd in the 1996 and 1999 Ballon d’Or awards respectively.
But success eluded Kanu on the international stage, and that’s the only blemish in his illustrious career. His only glory moment for Nigeria came at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics where he played a major role in Nigeria’s gold medal victory.
Despite representing Nigeria at six AFCON editions, Kanu never scored a goal, while he also did not win a title. At the 2000 edition, he was one of the two players that missed their spot-kicks against Cameroon.
Nevertheless, despite his lack of trophy with the national team, Kanu appealed to a lot of Nigerians and was a role model for a lot of people, especially after coming back from heart surgery. His popularity, influence and individual honours give him the edge over Mikel.
The last person on my list is Austin Jay-Jay-Okocha. Okocha never had much success at club level, but he was the most talented and popular among the three.
Only a few players both present and past could attempt what Okocha do with the ball. He was a magician and also created a lot of unforgettable moments.
He is hugely popular with Nigerians for his trickery, creativity and ability to create something out of the ordinary. Okocha was part of the Super Eagles team that dominated the 90s, while he also played a leading role in the team in the early parts of the new Millenium.
Of the three players picked, It is Okocha that Nigerians connect with most. He carried the country so many times and was a great role model.
Ask any aspiring footballer which Nigerian player they admire most, and the answer will be Okocha. The Premier League is the popular league in the country, and Okocha is one of the reasons why it has a massive following.
Although Mikel’s move to Chelsea also contributed to Premier League’s popularity in Nigeria, Okocha’s impact was more significant.
His move to Bolton came at a time DSTV started showing the Premier League. And he never disappointed as he delivered brilliant performances which earned him legendary status at the Reebok stadium.
Jay-Jay was so good that he was named in Daily Telegraph’s Premier League best 100 players. He was the only Nigerian on that list which says a lot given he never won the Premier League.
He was also named in Pele’s top 125 living footballers. He was twice BBC African Footballer of the year and was a runner-up twice for the CAF award, and was once nominated for the Ballon d’Or.
So Who Among The Three Is Nigeria’s Greatest Player?
Kanu and Mikel achieved so much at club level, but they don’t have the same influence as Okocha. Kanu won a lot of teams and individual honours and should have been the obvious choice given he is also popular among Nigerians.
But as stated earlier, he never won anything for the National team, and that counts against him. Okocha may not have many titles as the two, but he is hugely popular among Nigerians and also the most talented.
It’s why he is racking up major endorsements even in retirement. Kanu and Mikel may have a lot of trophies, but Okocha remains Nigeria’s greatest player.
Chatflick: Islam always in the news for evil. Only God knows why he included Islam as a natural disaster on earth. Any muslim that keeps fighting for God is simply an idiot. Logically, it doesn't even sound right to fight for someone you claim is all powerful. In simple terms, Muslims are the most ignorant set of people in this world and out of 10 Muslim, 8 are potential terrorists. Argue with BBNaija
Imagine over 2 billion Muslims are terrorists and you are still breathing. It is obvious that you are the ignorant person but I don’t know who is going to tell you. Fool !
