Go and read Omo Agege's case against the senate and upgrade your knowledge.

MasterJayJay:
They were ignorant.

papyjaypaul:
On this matter, people have already taken sides, instead of hearing from both sides. One side is alleging, another side is alleging. They are sponsoring posts about themselves, hoping that we can judge a matter of family affair. Whether you look at it as family friends or members of the Senate, it is a family affair.

If Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is lying, she'll lose and SP will win. If she's saying the truth, the Senate will win. Isn't it a win-win? Our leaders are not so different from us.

professorPABX:
As a former governor is he not supposed to know what transpired in the Senate? None of his PAs or friends know what happened in the Senate? The Press Statement did not kill two birds .

The persecution and travail of Tinubu under Buhari exposed a lot of characters.

phemray:
Fayemi writer no well, the guy never mentioned sexual harassment. He said, the lady accused him of selling ajaokuta steal. Not sexual harassment. I listened to him.

Nairaland I beg, make una rest for this matter

1. Christianity (Lent)

During Lent, many Christians fast for 40 days leading up to Easter. The nature of the fast can vary, but typically, it involves giving up certain foods or indulgences (like meat, dairy, or sweets). Some also engage in partial fasting, where they may eat only one meal a day or refrain from eating between certain hours.


2. Judaism (Yom Kippur and other fasts)

Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, involves a 25-hour fast, from sunset to sunset, where Jews abstain from food, drink, and other physical pleasures, including bathing and wearing leather shoes.

Other Jewish fasts include Tisha B'Av, a day of mourning the destruction of the First and Second Temples, and The Fast of Esther (before Purim), which is a shorter fast from dawn to nightfall.


3. Hinduism (Ekadashi)

Ekadashi is a fasting day that occurs twice a month for Hindus, on the 11th day of the lunar cycle. The fasting can vary in strictness, ranging from eating only fruits and vegetables to complete abstention from food and drink. It is meant to promote spiritual growth and discipline.

Another fasting practice is Navaratri, where many Hindus abstain from certain foods (like grains or non-vegetarian foods) for nine days to honor the goddess Durga.


4. Buddhism (Fasting and Monastic Practices)

In some Buddhist traditions, monks and nuns follow a form of fasting where they do not eat after noon until the following sunrise. This practice is part of their monastic discipline. The focus is on self-control, meditation, and detachment from worldly desires.

Some Buddhists also engage in intermittent fasting as part of their spiritual practices.


5. Medical Fasting (Intermittent Fasting)

Intermittent fasting (IF) has become popular as a health practice in recent years. It involves cycles of eating and fasting, where people may choose to fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window (16:8 method), or alternate days of fasting and eating. This is used for various health benefits, including weight loss, improved metabolism, and cellular repair.

Other medical fasts include water fasting (where only water is consumed) or juice fasting (where only fruit or vegetable juices are consumed), usually for detoxification or health reasons under medical supervision.


6. Islam (Ramadan)

As mentioned earlier, Ramadan fasting requires abstaining from all food and drink (including water) from dawn to sunset, not just skipping lunch. This is seen as a form of spiritual cleansing, increased devotion, and empathy for those who suffer from hunger.


7. Paganism (Seasonal Fasts and Rituals)

In some Pagan traditions, fasting is part of certain rituals or festivals, such as during the winter solstice or equinoxes. These fasts can vary from complete abstinence from food or drink to refraining from specific foods as part of a spiritual renewal.


Conclusion:

Fasting across different religions and medical practices can take many forms, ranging from complete abstinence from all food and drink to selective dietary restrictions or time-restricted eating. Each tradition or practice has its own purpose, whether it's for spiritual growth, self-discipline, or health benefits. The idea that Muslims only skip lunch overlooks the full extent of their fasting, which is more about holistic abstention and spiritual reflection.

Kayberg:
For more than that.
What I know is, you have broken your fast before beginning it once you eat early in the morning... That's breakfast you just had.

Though they are likely sponsored, these protesters are not doing anything different than the average Nigerian will do, that is, follow the crowd instead of thinking for yourself. Na so we de do jungle justice on NL and social media on different topics. If they hate someone, they can never see anything good.

On this matter, people have already taken sides, instead of hearing from both sides. One side is alleging, another side is alleging. They are sponsoring posts about themselves, hoping that we can judge a matter of family affair. Whether you look at it as family friends or members of the Senate, it is a family affair. If Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is lying, she'll lose and SP will win. If she's saying the truth, the Senate will win. Isn't it a win-win? Our leaders are not so different from us.

Whoever knows the handler of the NASS YouTube page should let them know that the NASS is not TVC or Arise News. The captions they use to describe senate plenary is disgraceful to say the least. This Senate is disgracing the institution

According to your meme, they have eaten in the morning before beginning the fast.
Simple.

i value my mental health

donself9:
You dont even understand yourself, there is no religion that promote idleness not even islam
What the northern governor did only resonated with the myopic mindset of their people, not Islam ... what Islamic nations are considering is time adjustment for schools closing hours as none shuts down school

You can blame the Northerner's mentality But this one is not on religion

Raf4:
That doesn't change the fact that you eat a early breakfast and also take your dinner. You only skip lunch.

Vinaya (monastic rules) monks do not eat solid food after 12:00 noon, and then, not until breakfast following morning rituals. Lunch is the big meal, but ends at11:59 a.m.
So basically that’s fasting every day for 14-18 hours.

donself9:
Your post is full of gibberish but couldnt ignore the bolded?

Uncle, is going to school work ??, the children involved are all under age So what as religion promoting laziness got to do with these

Next time just shutup or let people with sense comment

meobizy:
I’ve noticed the different spellings of Ukrainian President’s Zelenskyy’s name on Nairaland. I did a Google search and found out different international media outlets spell his name however they feel.

In journalism classes, I was told to refer to people how they prefer their names called (and spelled). As such, president Zelenskyy’s name should always be reported with a double y at the end.

See his X — formerly Twitter — account for example; @ZelenskyyUa.



Nairaland, follow suit.

Kayberg:
Should be, "Eats brunch..."
Because once you eat anything any time past 12 AM, you've broken your fast.
