At the very least, tell us why it was suspended in the first place. Which kind of end time reporting is this?
Crime › Re: DSS Arrests Maina’s Son, Faisal, In Abuja After Years On The Run by pak: 8:57am On Oct 18
Dogalmighty17:
Make this make sense. You are a wanted person who fled Nigeria. You returned and still headed back to Abuja. Why not kukuma just go to DSS headquarters and knock on their gate to tell them you have come back and brought yam for them.
My brother! The story shock me too.

If he was from some parts of Nigeria, we would have been convinced that village people called back his head but last time I checked Northerners no dey too do juju like that

franchasng:
Very interesting, but today, vulcanizers have been reduced to the lowest level in the society, which shows how bad Nigeria have become over the years cry
It's two ways, one was about Nigeria getting worse, the other is that with time some professions that were considered high end, sometimes end up becoming so common that you might not even need much formal education to do them
Culture › Re: See How An Ibadan Vulcaniser Advertised His Services In A Newspaper 100 Yrs Ago by pak: 10:15am On Sep 30
Vulcanizing must have been a high end job at that time.

Just like computer repairers in the 90s and phone technicians in the early 2000s
Education › Re: Young Female Ibadan Student Stuns School After Coming First In 10 Of 17 Subjects by pak: 9:56pm On Sep 29
She's brilliant and should be encouraged but social media has a way of blowing up every thing happening either positive or negative.

Back in the day from Primary school up to JS class, where schools used positions per subject as opposed to grades, it was not unusual that in every session, there was always a student winning more than half of their class prizes

Who told this story and in what book was it written

HacheNoire:
Dunces!

Why not adopt your own native language!

China, Saudi, Oman, UAE, Russia, Germany, France, UK and the likes did not need to adopt a language. They accepted and propagated what they have!

You dumped French and adopted English like you still not speaking the language of your colonial masters.
There might be legitimate barriers to adopting native language(s)

UPDATE: Houthis launch drone strike on Aramco refinery in Saudi city of Jizan
Yemen’s Houthi group has targeted an Aramco refinery in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan region with two drones, a military source was quoted as saying by the Saba news agency.

The attack came in response to the kingdom’s “violation of Yemeni airspace and sovereignty in the Sa’dah and Hajjah governorates”, it said.
One them or a sympathizer spotted.

I am sure you would have been one of those jubilating on Sept 11 and Oct 7

Your marriage don finish be that!

Adultery is an option for divorce for Christians!
I am not trying to be just pedantic or bring up unnecessary arguments but the bible did not say that though.

He said except for the sake of 'fornication' - and no that was not a mistake, it was the exact phrase. So apparently what Jesus was talking about had another meaning aside what is usually taught

This is the instructive part of the post

....Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Mrs Ukaire refused to process the payments because the heads of these agencies allegedly declined her request to make detailed presentations regarding their ongoing projects and financial utilisation.

They need a trusted hand.

Sorry this got posted twice unintentionally
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Guardiola & Ancelotti Reject Italian Head Coach Role; Pirlo To Be Announced by pak: 10:01pm On Jul 24
I love Pirlo to the bone but I am not sure this is the rght direction for the Azzurris.
They need a trusted hand and not experiments.

The last time Italia played at the world cup was 2014 and the last time they made it to the knockout stage was 2006 when they won. In 20 years, powerhouse Italy has never played world cup knockout football.

I feel for Italian soccer though, they face a cultural challenge. The traditional cattenacio (bolt the door) that Itaky excelled in is considered outdated. Their coaches and players are forced to play modern soccer, which does not really align with their philosophy
Islam › Re: Some Sins That Come With Curses In Islam! by pak: 5:20pm On Jul 17
Rashduct4luv:
Praise be to Allah!
In Islam, certain sins are so severe that they come with explicit curses from Allah or His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ. A curse (la’n) in Islamic theology signifies divine displeasure and a distancing from Allah’s mercy, often accompanied by severe consequences in this life and the Hereafter. These curses serve as stern warnings to believers to avoid such grave transgressions and to uphold righteousness and justice in their lives.

Below is a list of some major sins that are explicitly associated with curses in the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah, along with their references:
1. Shirk (Associating partners with Allah)
“Allah has cursed them, and for them is a lasting punishment.” (Qur’an 9:68)

2. Disobedience and Rebellion against Allah
“Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel...” (Qur’an 5:78)

3. Killing a Believer Intentionally
“Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him...” (Qur’an 4:93)

4. Severing Ties of Kinship and Causing Corruption
“Those whom Allah has cursed...” (Qur’an 47:22-23)

5. Consuming or Dealing in Usury (Riba)
The Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who consumes, pays, writes, or witnesses usury. (Sahih Muslim)

6. Consuming or Dealing in Alcohol (Khamr)
The Prophet ﷺ cursed all involved in producing, selling, or consuming alcohol. (Sunan Abi Dawud 3674)

7. Slandering Chaste Women (Qadhf)
“Those who falsely accuse chaste women are cursed in this life and the Hereafter.” (Qur’an 24:23)

8. Bribery (Rishwah)
The Prophet ﷺ cursed the giver and receiver of bribes. (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1337)

9. Changing Land Boundaries to Steal
“Allah curses the one who changes boundary markers.” (Sahih Muslim)

10. Theft
The Prophet ﷺ cursed thieves, even for small thefts. (Sahih al-Bukhari 6799)

11. Cursing One’s Parents
“Allah curses him who curses his parents.” (Sahih Muslim)

12. Men Imitating Women and Vice Versa
The Prophet ﷺ cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men. (Sahih al-Bukhari 5886)

13. Tattooing and Altering Allah’s Creation for Beauty
The Prophet ﷺ cursed those who tattoo and those who get tattooed. (Sahih al-Bukhari 5940)

14. Sacrificing to Other Than Allah
“Allah curses him who sacrifices to anyone other than Allah.” (Sahih Muslim 4876)

15. Harboring or Supporting Wrongdoers
“Allah curses him who accommodates an innovator or wrongdoer.” (Sahih Muslim)

16. Lying
“Invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars.” (Qur’an 3:61)

17. Concealing Revealed Knowledge
“Those who conceal what We sent down are cursed by Allah...” (Qur’an 2:159)

18. Oppression (Zulm)
“The curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 11:18)

19. Breaking Oaths and Covenants
“For them is the curse...” (Qur’an 13:25)

20. Abusing the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ
“Whoever abuses my Companions, upon them is the curse of Allah...” (Hadith, Al-Mu'jam al-Kabir)

The curses mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah serve as powerful reminders of the gravity of certain sins in Islam. They emphasize the importance of maintaining faith, justice, honesty, and respect in all aspects of life. Avoiding these major sins safeguards a believer’s spiritual well-being and draws them closer to the mercy and pleasure of Allah.

May Allah protect us from these grave sins and guide us to live righteous lives filled with His blessings and mercy. Ameen.
This is not an attempt to be confrontational but see it as an opportunity for knowledge sharing...

You said
3. Killing a Believer Intentionally
“Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him...” (Qur’an 4:93)

Does this not connote that killing someone who is considered an unbeliever carries less weight ?

Romance › Re: Don't Build Your Lifestyle On Someone Else's Wallet by pak: 4:32pm On Jul 10
Most of the ladies who live this lifestyle are not fools and they know the windfall from one single source can run dry at any time.

So they hedge their bets and service multiple high value (in terms of cash), so if she gets dumped by one, there are at least 3 or 4 others left, while she actively hustles for a replacement

Although this isn't mighty Sparrow but another favorite song regularly played on that Soca Calypso show was the naughty song - I push it in, she push it out, I push it back, she starts to shout, Dr ring, I can't stand the sight of your needle.

The great Mighty Sparrow.

He was the darling of the AIT soca calypso show every Sunday in the late 90s.

Then we did not have a TV then, so we only listened to radio.

My favorite was "Who kill the Sparrow, nobody know - Sparrow DEAD!"

There should be more publicity on the laghoms scheme. Most times units are fully sold out before the general public is aware.
You are totally right, I have been searching for low cost housing for purchase for a while and I am wondering how come I am just hearing about this
Education › Re: The Difference Between A Forest And A Jungle (Photos) by pak: 11:07am On Jun 23
Rapmoney:
There are words people erroneously use interchangeably, but there are clear distinctions between them.

Today, we are looking at FOREST and JUNGLE.

Is there any difference between a forest and a jungle? Yes, there are differences.

Jungle is actually a type of forest. While a forest is a broad term for any large area covered in trees (found in all climates). A jungle is a specific, tangled, and overgrown region typically found in the tropics, where thick undergrowth often makes the area impassable.

1. Vegetation Density: Forests have organized tree structures and are generally easy to walk through. Jungles are dense tangles of vines, shrubs, and trees where ground-level vegetation is often impenetrable without machetes.

2. Sunlight: Forests often have dense canopies that allow for shaded, clear forest floors. In a jungle, the thick chaotic ground growth results from sunlight penetrating at the edges or through gaps, causing lush undergrowth.

3. Climate: Forests exist in virtually any climate—from temperate pine forests in Canada to boreal forests in Siberia. Jungles are almost exclusively warm, humid, and tropical.

4. Geography: Forests are large regions that can cover massive swaths of the globe. Jungles are usually smaller ecosystems situated on the outer margins or edges of tropical rainforests.

I hope say you dor learn one or two today.

Keep learning and keep growing. The mind that learns is the mind that grows.
So Sambisa is what now? Jungle or Forest

I wanted to react to the comment but was just short of words.

There are some monikers on this forum that one should just give up on them. Even if Elom Musk makes common sense common ehn, make I reserve my comment
Bridging digital divides was supposed to be a good thing but one downside is that you now get all sorts saying all manner of meaningless things online.

Unlike say 10 to 15 years ago when you knew that even if you disagree with an opinion, it was still likely that the person who made the comment had some baseline intelligence

Amotolongbo:
I suggest there should be a shorter and modular academic pathway created for people like this who have the practical experience so they can become certified.
With this, the number of quacks can be reduced and integrated into the system where there is regulation of activities.
Reduced pathway for someone you want to entrust with human life?
Politics › Re: TERRORISM: Today's Self-defense Could Become Tomorrow's Bigger Problem by pak:
Not that it could but more like it 'has' and it 'would'.

You are talking in future tense of something that has already happened.

Lakurawa was formed in the early days as a vigilante group to protect Fulani Herders from thieves and cattle rustlers. They were so effective that they themselves started terrorizing the communities that they suspected were harboring these criminals.

Before long they moved into kidnapping and after a while they expenaded from Sokoto and Kebbi to other states.

THis is what happens when Govt fails in its responsibilities.
But people are left with no option than to protect themselves.

Another example is the xenophobic attacks in SA, as bad as it is, the root is still a failure of Govt to protect it's citizens to the point where the people believe that they have to stand up for themselves.

But experience as a shown that vigilantism and jungle justice are often misguided, disproportionate and hardly ever end well.
