I dedicate this piece to ALL AILING Presidents,First Ladies,Statesman in the whole wide world who are battling with any sort of ailments but who have made known their medical state to the whole world not because we rightfully deserve to be fed with such information but took such giant leap because that is tge right thing to do.

I equally dedicate this to ALL AILING Nigerians whose medical conditions they would have wanted the whole world to know so as to come to their aid but are deprived of means and a voice to be heard.

My heart goes to the Late Venezuelan President Chavez, who battled till the end a cancer and whose going in and out of the hospital was never shrewed in unwarranted secrecy. I really wished him well when he kept his country intanct and yet facing a battle of his life.

My heart goes to Mandela. My heart goes to Hilary Clinton.

Sahara Reporters can only thrive when u have to dig deeper than normal to get reportage. Blame them not for been the whistle blower always. We should blame the dead who tries to protect its nake-d-ness!

Eziachi: There is something I never get or understood with Christendom and their obsession with the instrument they claimed Jesus was killed. Lets use this analogy for example. Your best friend or your beloved person was assassinated with a gun, then later you and all those that love this person decided make images of this same gun, make replica of the same gun and wear them as jewellery, as charm and venerate this same gun that killed your loved one.
Would that in any way make any sense?
If cross was used in killing Jesus, why would anyone that love Jesus even touch a cross, not alone kiss and venerate a replica of the same cross. It make no sense at all. And I have search the whole of the bible or the history of the apostolic time in the first century to see where Christian followers of the time used cross of any sort, I still had never seen one.
That left me with the questions:
Was Jesus really killed on a cross or something else?
Is there a link between the cross and trinity?
Can the use of cross has anything to do with one of the ancient artefact of the Roman, which along with many of their tradition was smuggled into christianity after killing off the genuine custodian of that faith and hijacked it? Answers will be appreciated.

Ur analysis is apt! Jesus is not dead and wasn't crucified. The more today's xtain get illusioned about the mystery of the cross the more they get farther in the wilderness of a doctored doctrine. Remove trinity and crucifixion from today's xtainity and nothing is left. The more reason the xtains will be mouth-agape when Jesus returns to clear the air on his real status and destroy the symbolic cross. Then,only then,will the covering be lifted off their perceptions.

That's where your ignorance lies.

Jesus coming was prophesied long ago before He came. His mission was to come and die for the sins f the world. Sins could only be forgiven by Blood sacrifice and God wanted a sacrifice that would pay for the sins f the world once and for all. Just as sin entered the world through the mistake f one(eve), righteousness was to be imputted back to man through the blood f one, Jesus.

He had to die as the sacrificial lamb, N̶̲̥̅̊t f His will, but that was the will f God( that was why Jesus said shortly before He was arrested while He was praying, that if God can, He should let the Cup pass, but that let the will f God be done). Jesus cried out when the sin f the world was placed on Him and God turned His back on Jesus because God could not inhabit the body f Jesus anymore cos f the sin. That was when Jesus died.

When He died, He was been held captive by satan because Jesus went to Hell( because f the sin f the world that was placed on Him, and He was been caused for hanging on a tree). In Hell, he was under the tortue f Lucifer until the sacrifice Jesus paid was accepted.

When God accepted The Sacrifice Jesus paid, Jesus regained his powers and fought back in Hell, where He won, freed those saints like papa Abraham who where in a part f Hell called Aedes( a place where the saints and faithfuls did stayed because Heaven was N̶̲̥̅̊t accessible to them @ that moment till Jesus ascended).

Jesus has to rise from the dead and ascend because He has to ascend to the father and make Heaven accessible to all who were Faithful but died before His coming and for those who will acept His sacrifice and Lordship.

Without Jesus dying and been buried, we christians would have still leaved in sin( sin Íڪ a nature, and not just the act of wrong doing), that is, having the nature of sin.

Now, we( christians) are been adopted by God through the death f Jesus.
We are now offsprings f God because when we acepted Jesus, He gave us His nature which Íڪ the nature f God. This Íڪ why we are legal children f God.

" For surely; they killed him(Jesus,son of Mary) not. But Allah raised him up unto Himself( and he is in heavens).And Allah is All-Powerful, All-Wise. And therw is none of the people of the Scripture( jews and christains) but must believe in him[(jesus) as a Messenger of Allah and a human being). And on the Day of Resurrection, he(Jesus) will be a witness against them. Q 4 vs 157-159

jasper7:
sorry o, oga. the "u no well" was not an insult, it was somewhat a compliment. It's like saying, "u bad" or somtin like that. I have no time to insult anybody. and about your question, I'm lactose intolerant. maybe that's why I don't have affection for cows

No offense really!You know why I love cows? They readily provide the need for my bowel when I found myself in construction sites at remote places in Abuja. Fura de Nunu comes in handy. Guy,ever tasted fresh cow milk before? The feeling is top + of + the + world! And besides, it is easier for a ten year old boy can flock a herd of 170 million cattles than for His Excellency to lead his cabinet members. That's amazing! Don't u think?

I call this Institutional ineptitude! It looks to me that GEJ is running this govt as a "borrowed course". Or he thinks of Nigeria as a Part-time affair.
He posseses all the traits of an ill-prepared,confused, absent-minded, clueless and a lost fellow.
Pls isn't it possible to privatize the Federal Govt? Just curious! At least one thing can be sure-all the numerous Special Adviser will be jobless for good.

@ Jasper 7.I don't do insults;it's never my way!Not with u,not with anyone.Not on this forum,not anywhere. I make my point with logic and I table rational explanation as menu. But it was personal assertions that u turned to somewhat unwarranted provocation. " ...you no well"-and you called this familarity? My post wasn't comparing goat's or cow's milk. I think you should read my posts again. By the way,do u still do goat's milk?

Jesus will come back to clear all this misconceptions and scripts about him. He will come and destroy the cross, symbolic of today's christainity.

I am saving this for reference.

aare07: Here are some facts from our common heritage that should make you proud to be called a Nigerian:

1. Nigeria is home to seven percent (7%) of the total languages spoken on earth. Taraba state alone has more languages than 30 African countries. The importance of this fact is appreciated when one understands that language is the “soul of culture” (as Ngugi wa Thiongo famously said). It is language that births the proverbs, riddles, stories and other aspects of culture that give us identity. UNESCO puts forward that the world’s languages represents an extraordinary wealth of creativity. Linguistic diversity correlates with cultural diversity. This means Nigeria can look inwards and drive itself to become the greatest hub for cultural tourism on earth, and consequently empower its citizens tremendously in the process.

2. The Walls of Benin (800-1400AD), in present day Edo State, are the longest ancient earthworks in the world, and probably the largest man-made structure on earth. They enclose 6500 square kilometers of community lands that connected about 500 communities. At over 16000km long, it was thought to be twice the length of the Great Wall of China, until it was announced in 2012 (after five years of meticulous measurement by Chinese surveyors) that the Great Wall is about 21,000km long.

3. The Yoruba tribe has the highest rate of twin births in the world. Igbo-Ora, a little town in Oyo state, has been nicknamed Twin capital of the World because of its unusually high rate of twins that is put as high as 158 twins per 1000 births. In a video I watched last year on YouTube presented by Titi (a white lady who speaks Yoruba), and which was centred on twin births in Igbo-Ora, one of the locals boasted that every family in the town has at least one twin!

4. Sarki Muhammad Kanta The Great of Kebbi, was the only ruler who resisted control by Songhai, West Africa’s greatest empire at that time. He founded and ruled the Hausa city-state of Kebbi around 1600 A.D and built Surame its capital, a planned city which was almost impossible to penetrate during war. In fact UNESCO describes Surame as “one of the wonders of human history, creativity and ingenuity”, and probably the most massive stone-walled constructions in West Africa. He is listed in Robin Walker’s 50 Greatest Africans.

5. Africa’s oldest known boat is The Dufuna canoe which was discovered in Dufuna village, Yobe state, by a Fulani Herdsman in May 1987, while he dug a well. Various radio-carbon tests conducted in laboratories of reputable universities in Europe and America indicate that the canoe is over 8,000 years old, thus making it the oldest in Africa and 3rd oldest in the world. The discovery of the canoe has completely changed accepted theories of the history and sophistication of marine technology in Africa.

6. Sungbo’s Eredo, a 160 km rampart equipped with guard houses and moats, is reputed to be the largest single pre-colonial monument (or ancient fortification if you like) in Africa. It is located in present-day Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State and when it was built a millennium ago, it required more earth to be moved during construction than that used for building the Great Pyramid of Giza (one of the Seven Wonders of The Ancient World). The most astonishing thing is that Sungbo’s Eredo was the biggest city in the world (bigger than Rome and Cairo) during the Middle Ages when it was built!

7. Sarki Abdullah Burja of Kano (ruled 1438-1452 AD), the 18th ruler of Ancient Kano, created the first Golden Age in Northern Nigeria and ushered in a period of great prosperity. During his reign, Hausa became the biggest indigenous language spoken in Africa after Swahili. He is on the list of 50

Greatest Africans in Robin Walker’s wonderful book, “When We Ruled”.

8. The Jos Plateau Indigobird, a small reddish-brown bird, is found nowhere else on the planet but Plateau state, Nigeria.

9. The Anambra waxbill, a small bird of many beautiful colours, is found only in Southern Nigeria and nowhere else on earth.

10. The Niger Delta (which is the second largest delta on the planet), has the highest concentration of monotypic fish families in the world, and is

also home to sixty percent of Nigeria’s mangrove forests. You should know too that Nigeria’s mangrove forests are the largest in Africa and third largest on earth.

11. According to the World Resources Institute, Nigeria is home to 4,715 different types of plant species, and over 550 species of breeding birds and mammals, making it one of the most ecologically vibrant places of the planet.

12. Ile-Ife, in present day Osun State, was paved as early as 1000AD, with decorations that originated from Ancient America suggesting there might have been contact between the Yorubas and the Ancient Americans half a millenium before Columbus ‘discovered’ America.

tpia@:





lets not go overboard here.

humans also drink goat and camel milk too.

llama milk self.

also, yak and reindeer milk.

Brainy, so which one of these milks were u fed with enfante? Goat's,camel's or chimp's ? We are here talking about sensible issues why cattles are beneficial and their distinctive features not revering or 'worshiping' them though. This, is not going overboard! By the way do u do dog's of pig's milk too? Ditto ur Jasper7 cohort.

@ maclatunji,tbaba, May Allaah reward these priceless effort of yours immensely. They are truly educating. Thanks for expatiating on the manner of 'beating'.

@ nobnigga, your post is only corruptible to souls like you. Believers are immune to your flu cos our hearts shield such influx from having effect. If only the mods can hide ur brain and leave ur post. The evil man does outlive them!

seunajia: My friend will you compose and stop acting so puerile. I don't like the feeling that I bullied you on this thread. Show some steel, c'mon. I'm not the lord of you



As subjective as I think "supportership" should be, I know it MUST have merits. Especially when we're talking of 160million people's future.

Thus, I hope you know you can't just bandy such talks, right? Prove please, sir?

Hi Sincere 9gerian! Welcome, the undisputable one! May ur ink never go dry.

Sincere 9gerian:
I did not admit any lie. The lie exist only in your hateful imagination.

Now, I support Jona, nah,I just think he is the messiah. I believe in him, he has done alot to gain my confidence. He impressed as a governor. But Fashola has lost my confidence, he has been a brutal governor. Buhari has a record of incompetence and cluelessness.

U are definitely saying the complete opposite of what Sincere 9gerian would ordinarily say on forum like this. Are u impersonating our sincerity?

jasper7: chaiii. I don suffer, so if cow born pikin dem go put am for front page. what of dog we dey born 12 or pig wey dey born 30? that one mean say, Nairaland go write that one for forehead

The fact that ur dogs and pigs don't make front page is cos they are not as endowed as the cattle. The dogs and pigs are filthy.

PAGAN 9JA:


EXACTLY! COWS ARE A SYMBOL OF NORTHERN NIGERIA AND WE THANK THESE NOBLE CREATURES!

AND WHERE ELSE DO YOU SEE AN ANIMAL DRINKING ANOTHER ANIMALS MILK , AS A MOTHERS, APART FROM THE HUMAN-COW RELATIONSHIP!

They are undisputable facts. There is so much reliance on cattle by human. I believe there are still several unknown miseries surrounding these noble creation.

sholay2011: I sense she's surrounded by hypocrites who keep telling her she is still young.

How can she dress like this, not minding her bulging stomach...em sorry...shape.

Nollywood actresses and their undying love for rags.

Just thoughtful of u! Modesty effervesence!

@OP, U can see the divide. 'We fast', 'We don't fast'. 'We mourn', 'we don't mourn'. ' We eat meat', 'we don't eat meat'. ' We rejoice', 'we don't rejoice'.
It is neither a day of mourning nor celebration. It is just March 29th. It has no reference in the pristine history of christianity.

oluswaggz:

Both Facebook lovers then arrange to meet in Nicon hotel Abuja Rm 101 but unfortunately for her, she came and saw her husband.

WHAT IF IT WERE YOU, what will u do? Please, Be Sincere.

U said the woman stays in Lagos and the husband works in Abj and again u said she went to meet the Facebook lover in Nicon abuja. This seems crooked, fictional.

When u earn livelihood in lawful ways,no matter how meagre it might looks,God put His blessings and that is INEXHAUSTIVE! More about cattles;-
(1) The cattle is a special creation cos all of its bodily parts are economically relevant and useful. The meat is consumable. The dung is for manure. The Urine is concortion for epilepsy. The skin? That's 'tinko'. The bones can be processed into earings etc. What of 'fura dey nunu'? U process into youghorts, baby foods. The scapula(when unbroken) of cow is used for JUJU(don't ask how,logging into Okija_juju). That's y u see at at abattoirs they always mark them with holes to prevent d ritualist. The horn of cow highly combustible. It is used in softening the 'tinko'. The fur is used as coverings. What else?Name it!
There are so many things we don't know about this wonderful creature. They sleep standing. They have individual names and respond when u call them by their names. They milk cattle by using the calf to sensitize the udder.THat is d only time u can have milk flow for milking. The calf sucks a few second,u send the calf away,then u milk!

Knowledge is wide and as such amazing things like this ,though may not be tonto-like, but could be educating.
About cattles,they are amazing wonders of God. They are creatures of blessing. Little wonder the scriptures refer to them often. There is a whole chapter named "Al Baqarah"- the cattle in d glorious Qur'an. It was named after an incident that occurs amidst the children of Isreal and Moses(as).
The blessings of the cow can be understood when u compare it with a DOG. A dog,naturally, have multiple births( 2,3,6,8,10....) and at times more than ones a year! Despite this births,how many dogs do you see in ur vicinity? Very few. In contrast, the cattle give birth usually to one calf in a year. Despite this, u see so much around. Look at the numbers slaughtered at abbatoir daily,yet Cattles are INEXHAUSTIVE. This is d parable of God's blessing.

baby_mama:

Maclatunji continues
if a woman refuses her husband intimacy,she can be beaten up,for leaving the house and other acts of "disobedience"
kai
A religion that condones spousal abuse?

Do u know what baby_mama does? They say tuface has plenty of them! They are the ones, just like it was displayed on NL frontpage few days back,who are seen in the society as only good as baby factory and not worth been called a wife. Now! that is the real spousal abuse. Pls seek help.

baby_mama:

Not my words o
women una don hear am
allah says you can be beaten up by your hubby the way a child is beaten
allah allows domestic violence
hear ye
hear ye

Ignoramous, the 'beating' is not in violent terms
. It is the striking(or beating) similar to when u buy a clay pot and you hit it slightly. The hitting is not to inflict harm, rather it is a feel and a test of the pot strength. The same way u hit a sandcrete block not to destroy but to make. The same way ur hubby(if u ve any) hits u hard attimes and she murmur "girl don't write naughty things again". Is he beating u? Yes,in a way? In summary,the "beating" is more symbolic than it sounds. Seek knowledge.

Both guilty as charged. 1-1 goaless,harmless draw.

dedons: Hmmmmm,abeg who read evertin







pls summarise

Comprehension comes before summary. U read the passage,digest,go back to the passage,do comprehension and perhaps u might not find it hard summarizing. I doubt u read what I just wote. If u do, pls summarize!

mmmustapha: @ Gentle Naaz- summun bukumun umrun fahun la yarji'un

-Blind,deaf and dumb, they will surely not find the way".

Jazaakallahu khairan ustaz'. This is inspiring and a call to self-evaluation. Muslim couples should set the standards of how a basic unit of an ideal society should look like.
The brothers should be the Ideal muslim husbands. The sisters should be strive towards being ideal muslimah.
Allah says -" They(ur wives) are like garments to you,and you(the husband) are like garment to them".

May Allaah,the Lord of Honours and Majesty,make us all in-mates of paradise. May Allaah make our feet steadfast,envelope us all in His mercy,pardon us our shortcomings,distance us from shaitan as distant east is from west,magnify our good deeds, and above all, make us gaze at Him amongst the best ranked in Jannah.

Juvenile Deliquency!

I don't know why I feel like she is looking at me. Seriously, it seems all people in pictures,bill boards stare endlessly at me alone. Or does it happen to you too? I am not complaining cos I feel elated everytime but there seems to be something wrong with this look. It look scary a bit.
