I wasn't raised to consider humans as cattle or livestock to be bought and sold, although I noticed boko did say they engage in this trade.

So, those of you who do it, or who don't consider it unusual, fill us in on the details.

LagosShia:
my dear, it isn't the Qur'an or Hadiths that need reform. these are only writings on paper. you cannot reform or change historical records. that would become tampering or plagiarism. it would appear as if the extremists do have a point, and are the "real muslims", and other muslims who oppose them are "fake" and are trying to "hide" something from the texts which we all ready to gain inspiration from.

it is Muslims that need reform. just as the extremists can cherry-pick verses and narrations from the Holy Qur'an and Hadith records, and twist them and take them out of their historical contexts, to justify their barbarism and backwardness, there are verses and narrations that easily, truthfully and conveniently promote peace, love, mercy, tolerance and co-existence. the Saudi problem is one of both a deadly ideology called Wahhabism/Salafism coupled with abundant money/petro-dollars. the deadly Wahhabi ideology is there, and the money to fuel it is also there endlessly. so that is the problem. Saudi Wahhabism had eaten up the body of Muslim/Islam.

Saudi Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr 'sentenced to death'

https://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/78231000/jpg/_78231190_78231185.jpg
Activists and relatives say Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr supported only peaceful protests and eschewed violence

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced the Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr to death, his family says.

Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr's brother said he was found guilty of seeking "foreign meddling" in the kingdom, "disobeying" its rulers and taking up arms against the security forces.

The cleric was a vocal supporter of the mass anti-government protests that erupted in Eastern Province in 2011.

His arrest two years ago, during which he was shot, triggered days of unrest.

Oil-rich Eastern Province is home to a Shia majority that has long complained of marginalisation at the hands of the Sunni royal family.

Protests began there in February 2011 after the start of the pro-democracy uprising in neighbouring Bahrain, which has a Shia majority and a Sunni royal family.

The Saudi authorities deny discriminating against Shia and blame Iran for stirring up discontent.

'Dangerous precedent'
Sheikh Nimr's brother Mohammed said on Twitter that he had been sentenced to death by Riyadh's Specialised Criminal Court, which tries terrorism cases, on Wednesday morning.

A statement by the cleric's family described the verdict as "discretionary", saying the judge had the option of imposing a lighter sentence, according to the Associated Press. It also warned that the trial had been "political" and had set a "dangerous precedent for decades to come".

When Sheikh Nimr, who holds the rank of ayatollah, went on trial in March 2013 prosecutors called for his execution by "crucifixion", a punishment which in Saudi Arabia involves beheading followed by public display of the decapitated body.

Human rights groups expressed concern at the time that he would not receive a fair trial. They also said he had still not been given access to adequate medical care for the gunshot wounds he received during his arrest in July 2012, something denied by the authorities.

https://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/75152000/jpg/_75152668_saudiarabiaqatifeasternprovince4640514.jpg

Police shot Sheikh Nimr in the leg four times in disputed circumstances as they detained him after a car chase in Eastern Province's Qatif district.

Officials said he rammed a security forces vehicle, leading to a gun battle. However, his family disputed the allegation that he resisted arrest and insisted that he did not own a weapon.

The cleric was held for eight months before being charged and reportedly spent the first four in an isolation cell at a prison hospital in Riyadh.

Activists and relatives say Sheikh Nimr, who has a wide following among Shia in Eastern Province and other states, supported only peaceful protests and eschewed all violent opposition to the government.

In 2011, he told the BBC that he supported "the roar of the word against authorities rather than weapons... the weapon of the word is stronger than bullets, because authorities will profit from a battle of weapons".

His arrest prompted days of protests in which three people were killed.

Human Rights Watch said more than 1,040 people had been arrested at Shia protests between February 2011 and August 2014. At least 240 are still believed to be in detention.

"I think the message that Saudis are saying is: 'We will arrest anybody. We don't care how high profile they are... nobody is above this. We don't have any tolerance. We don't have any flexibility,'" HRW Middle East researcher Adam Coogle told AP after Sheikh Nimr's sentencing.

Since at some point in a couple's life especially when children come into the picture Help is often needed as the work load increases, opting for a male or female house help which is wiser to reduce sexual abuse(to the child) or sexual provocation(to the spouse).
Please Nairalanders I need your opinion.

You are just on your way back from work, by the traffic light, the ask for your particulars, vehicle registration etc, you provide everything the ask for except a fire extinguisher, the then tell you,
make we go station,
you don't want to take all that trouble so you give 'em 2k,
as a child of god u feel bad about and u even beg god for forgiveness,
as a man who works according to god's word the bible,
u don't have to do that no more
According to proverbs 17 vs 8
and i quote
'A bribe works wonders in
the eyes of its giver;
wherever he turns he
prospers'.

The bribe taking policeman and u the giver are good children of God,
give more bribe if u want more prosperity in your life

ojimbo:
I will only cast my vote for a well known atheist for so many reasons.
1) most atheist don't have much interest in riches and prosperities thereby making them to be less corrupt. not like a theist who will waste all his time praying for blessings and prosperities thereby making them to be more corrupt
2) an atheist did not believed in life after death so his Paradise is on earth here and he have to do everything to make the earth a lovely place to be, not like a religious person who will care less about how to develop his home town because he is expecting a Paradise up the heaven when he lives the earth.
3) an atheist will help to fight noise pollution from the religious institutions, either from church or mosque or pagans because he do not believed in "touch not my anointed" and he is not afraid of any deity to judge him or condem him to an everlasting fire.
4) an atheist does not owe any 10% to any pastor or nan of God which will make him think More on his duties than trying to satisfy any man of God
5) an atheist does not have to waste government money on donations to churches or mosque just to proove how holy and God's loving he is
6) an atheist does not have to waste state money just to sponsor some religious bigot to either Mecca or Jerusalem. knowing quite well that those white folks don't even give a fu-k about our country.
I have many reasons just because of time but will still update it when am less busy. to all agnostics and atheist out there, you can add yours

It is now safe to assume that the 2015 Presidential election race has begun in earnest.
It is also safe to assume that it will be a two horse race between the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and APC's General Muhammadu Buhari.
Let us start to look at how the race will look like if the elections are free and fair.

sir civil engineering dept .what set ?

ahizih:
yes sir,they've power and jurisdiction to summon him,he was a party loyalist before he was appointed and he is still under the watch of pdp leadership,since he is serving on gej cabinet which is a product of pdp he is still answerable to the party,this does not only stop with him but to other ministers and federal government appointees,as far as you're not a civil servant. Thanks sir

adeblow:
Please, in the context of a civil servant or in the Nigerian Civil Service, what is the difference between B.Tech and B.Sc.
Why I asked the question is that: in my Organisation, people who graduated with Engineering are placed a step higher than those who graduated with B.Sc or B.Tech. For us who graduated with B.Tech, we spent 5years in school while those with B.Sc spent 4years in school.
I think it is unfair to place people who spent 5years in school in the same level and step with those who spent 4years.
Please does anybody know why this is done like this in Nigeria?

FÜCKING good one; but a child with AS is just a carrier of the sickle cell gene, it's a child with the SS genotype that will be a sickler

The FÜCKING possible outcome for a couple who are both carriers (AS : AS) of the sickle cell gene is this

AA, AS, AS & SS

AA normal child

AS Child with Sickle cell trait

SS child with sickle cell disease

Piqued by the deplorable state of federal roads in the South East geopolitical zone, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, said it would summon the Minister of Works, Chief Mike Onolememe to “revisit all federal roads in the zone.”
The national Publicity Secretary of PDP and the
leader of the party’s Publicity and Evaluation
Committee, Chief Olisa Metu, dropped the hint
while fielding questions from journalists
yesterday in Umuahia, Abia State, after the
committee’s facility tour of some project sites
in the state.
Metu expressed dismay over the poor condition
of federal roads in Aba in particular as well as
other parts of the South East, and assured that
the party would mandate the Works’ Minister to
undertake a tour of all federal roads in the
zone for first hand information on their
condition with a view to fixing them.
He noted that although some of the federal
roads in the state were being rehabilitated,
much needed to be done to make them
passable and give the people more sense of
belonging.
Metu restated the commitment of the Goodluck
Jonathan-led administration to improve on the
welfare of the people of the zone and assured
that very soon the woes of commuters and
motorists in the zone would be a thing of the
past.
He also applauded the efforts of Governor
Theodore Orji who he said had raised he bar of
governance through identifiable legacy projects
which have direct bearing on the people.

Jennimma:
I'm a 24 year old lady who just finished my NYSC. I've read so many articles on pre-marital sex. I made a promise to God to keep myself till marriage. I lost so many relationships because I didn't succumb to their wish. This continued until I met this loving and caring guy whom i've dated for four years and he has never asked for sex. The problem now is that we are both type AS genotype and medically not fit to marry. We love each other so much and he has promised not to leave. Instead he suggested we get married and determine the genotype of our unborn babies before they're born. Should I leave him? Or go with his suggestion?
