He come seek una vote nao. He is part of you guys.. if all the Christian in nigeria vote this guy he go win oo.... from all the candidates, he is the less corrupt to me. Its better we make the right choice this coming election cos we can't survive on another bad decision. Vote wisely

Sometimes, people like you amaze me, how do you mean that "if all the Christians in Nigeria vote...", does the population of xtians reach 40%? Forget about the bogus claim that xtians are 49%. For where? Leave the North apart, even in Yorubaland. Polygamy is the key

You don't fight police when you are not in group, you were this lucky in these cases, next time you may not be. Many people have gone underground for fighting for their rights, yes the killers are still roaming on our streets. Please don't argue with anyone that carries a gun, even a knife.

The Akudaya myth: What I know

In my native Nupe language, an Akudaya is called ‘Tsulozhin’. It’s a compound word consisting of three different words:

Tsu (originally tsitsu) lo (lilo) and zhin (zhin-zhin). ‘Tsitsu’ means dying; lilo means going; and zhin-zhin means returning. Thus, a tsulozhin is someone who is believed to have returned to life after death. The belief that the dead can return back to life is deeply-rooted in African traditional belief, and is connected to the belief in voodoo and superstition.

As a young boy growing up in my village of Lafiagi, I’ve heard a lot of these stories flying around and we’re being told by elders who we believe know better and have seen it all. Some of the tales were too ridiculous to believe though but we had no reason to doubt their veracity given that we were too young to be independent-minded.

There was the popular story of Hajiya Fatima from Ketso who was allegedly killed by a witch known as Nnaputa. She was buried like every other deceased persons. Later, she was seen at Gbodoti by some Fulanis and brought back to town to the shock of many who witnessed her burial.

As we grew up, we also heard about people who had died for years but were later seen in other places, some have become rich and have wives and kids. This is not Nollywood. They were stories that we heard with our two ears. The storytellers claimed that they witnessed it with their two eyes too. However, anytime an attempt is made to locate them in their new settlements, they disappeared into thin air, sometimes leaving their wives and children behind.

In the mid 2000, a certain Shemi from Raba rose to prominence as the chief witches and wizards hunter in Nupeland. He waged a serious war against the evil of witchcraft and was moving from one town to the other on invitation, liberating people from the claws and clutches of the evil men and women. No doubt he was using powerful Jinns and magic to overpower and disarm his victims. Most times, he subjects them to dehumanizing treatments; shaving their hair (heads and pubic) and stripping them completely naked.

We enjoyed watching the videos, seeing the dreaded men and women of the underworld confessing their crimes against humanity. Some of the revelations from those videos reinforced our beliefs that indeed, it is possible for the deceased to reappear or return back to life.

This created a whole lot of confusion in our heads when we first came in contact with Tawhīd and ‘aqīdah and were told that once a person dies, he can never return to life until the Day of Resurrection. We doubted our teachers. They have neither seen nor heard the things that we’ve seen and heard, we thought.

Years later, when we read more ‘aqīdah books as well as books on أخبار الجن والشياطين/ عالم الجن والشياطين, we were able to juxtapose and critically study the two seemingly contradictory issues and arrived at the following conclusions:

* Allāh is the Creator and Terminator of all lives (Q.67:2). Thus, no life can be taken except by His permission (Q.3:145)

* Death is the end of man’s sojourn on earth. i.e. once a person dies, he’s gone forever, never to be seen again in this real world. (.23:99-100)

* Any claim of seeing a deceased person can only be in dream. This is consistent with the Sharī’ah.

* Some Shayātīn among human beings possess the supernatural powers of bewitching people to see things that never were. (See Q.7:116) Thus, they create an imaginary image of their victim, causing him to be still and dead, while the real person is held and screened away from the people’s eyes.

* The imaginary being is thus covered in shroud and buried, while the real being is taken away to another place. Sometimes, they are left wandering inside bushes and thick forests where some are attacked and eaten by dangerous animals, some are taken to far away cities were they get married and beget children, and some live a wretched and abnormal life. It’s some of these people that are later brought back to their hometowns

* The Shayātīn among the Jinn can also appear to people in the image of their lost ones in order to cause confusion and crisis. In this situation, the person is truly dead and buried. However, the Shaytān will appear in his image so the people will think that he was brought back to life. Sometimes, people like that are brought back home, and sometimes they disappear into thin air, leaving behind their wives and children. The Prophet made reference to this when he said:

من رآني في المنام فقد رآني، فإن الشيطان لا يتمثل في صورتي

“Whoever sees me in his dream has indeed seen me, for the Shaytān cannot appear in my image.”

This implies that the Shaytān has such abilities. And he did appeared to Abū Hurayrah in the image of an old, frail man.

Therefore, Akudaya is nothing but a satanic fraud to destroy the aqīdah of the people and turn them into apostates and idolaters. It is important to always say our adhkār and ruqyah prayers to seek protection from the evil machinations of the Shaytān.

We must purge ourselves of such false beliefs as reincarnation and reappearance of the deceased.

You have proven him right

See constructive criticism and commendation from our Naira landers.
Wished they made same comments like they did when shettima did same in bornu.

Hypocrisy of our people is really bitter

Lovenorth:
Jesus died based on the will of Allah

He did not die rather he was uplifted to the Heaven, and he is coming back to this world again. In his second coming, he fulfills the message of Allaah, then die.

First of all, I advise you to be a conscious Muslim, lowering your gaze from looking at what is prohibited. How I wish most women can be in hijab to cover what seduce men in their bodies.

Secondly, go to the settings on your phone, type 'dns' in the search box, you will see a Private DNS, type adult-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org and save it.

If you do it, it will block evey browser on your phone to connect to any porn websites or its likes

Thank you a lot for this info.

I am just considering to register for ICAN. I am a graduate of Industrial And Labour Relations. (B.SC OOU 2009). I am afraid I cannot read books like before anymore.

I hope you can help me with videos and some advice.

Thank you.

Mufakirnaqdiun:
Seriously I just dey laugh African man,god wan kill you na.
How can't he prevent the accident in the first place,it's more logical to blame him for having the accident than thank him for survival,so the doctors wey treat you na wetin?lol
As you get the accident you for just sit down make your God heal you by himself directly,at least the doctors don't need any god to perform healing for them,they do it themself.

This is one of the most worrying things about religion - cognitive dissonance, basically. An earthquake strikes and thousands are killed. Then we see some survivor, who has just lost her home, her livelihood and seventeen members of her family, thanking God for saving her life.

Imagine a dictator - Saddam Hussein, perhaps, in his prime. He sends his soldiers into a village and slaughters 90% of the inhabitants. The he is driven in and stands on the back of a jeep and insists that the survivors kneel down and thank him for saving their lives. What is our position on that? Why do we observe behaviour by God which would be regarded as psychopathic in a human, and call it good?
They will keep insulting, and call me names for exposing their religion by questioning it.lol

Indeed, you have raised a very specious argument, and it is evident that you know nothing about God because your writings really expose it.

God does what He likes, and He does not discriminate in His favour and His trial of His creatures. Either you believe Him or not, He showers His blessings on you and He puts you into trials as well. His favour and trials are meant to know the true believer.

Nothing good or bad happens except that God knows of it, and it does happen with His permission. He tests beliefs of His creatures to know who can be steadfast and be sincere with their faith. Sickness, accident, infertility, etc are all trials from God, to know who will be patient and sincere, and to know who are hypocrites.

God is Creator of everything, and He causes everything to happen. He may use someone to do something, like He used our parents to give birth to us that does not mean our parents are our creators. But He commands us to be grateful to whoever He uses to give us favour. So doctors are to be appreciated but the glory belong to Him alone.

God is our Lord, and we are His servants.

What concerns going or coming from church in this matter? She want to use 'church' to appeal to their emotions.

Nigeria, I hail thee

Nigeria! Why are we like this?

But the plate number is not rotating, rather it is flipping. Correct word is flipping not rotating.

How I wished I can send you money to settle the debt but...
If you can see up a POS business, I think it will help you. Requirement to start the business is not so hard, and it is better than 40k salary job no matter how...
God loves us that is why He forbid us from taking or giving loan with interests (usury) but we ignorant think we are wise. Haven't you seen your life outside?
You can dm me if you can take the pos business

Peter Obi has entered, he entered his room. Awọn dindinrin din robo. They used religion to divide the country, forgetting that their number is far below their counterparts. Let's wait and see. Do you people even know the meaning of North? Their population alone makes up this Nigeria. And do you remember that their youth did not join you during ENDSARS. North determines or influences Nigeria election

MadamVanessa:



In as much as I don't like this midget, but I support him on this. Lecturers are pure evil, always dragging students backward with their unending strike. ASUU has been going on strike since I was in my mother's womb till date, all to the detriment of the students.

They want the government to treat them well, while maltreating the students and boasting unashamedly that nobody will pass their course even if God should come down and write the course.

Even if the FG should give them all what they demanded today, after few months, they will make new demands and embarked again on strike. You can never satisfy them. I am not supporting what the government is doing, but the truth must be said.

Lazy people parading as lecturers with their nonsense teachings , always victimizing the students and boasting that they can go to hell, sex starved Idiots, always using their position to their own advantage by sleeping with vulnerable students

Just few Nigerian lecturers deserves RESPECT, majority of them are bunch of irresponsible bastards.

You deserve a gift for this beautiful comment, dm me let's talk

sotall:
Is football by democracy?

Is Lecturing job by democracy?

Some of you just open your mouth in a public forum waaaaaa.

Is football democracy? Is it stated in your democracy that Muslim-Muslim ticket is a no-no-no? You people are just irritant, blithering irritant.

CAN is one of many problems we have in Nigeria. How many Muslims are there among our universities lecturers? How many Muslims are there among our football players (Super Eagles)? How many? Don't we have capable Muslims? Yet Muslims won't cough?

They are still using chalk and blackboard to teach students in Nigeria? May God help my country.

The dressing of those teachers is bad, but if they are on hijab, Nigerians will still take a dim view of it. That is why chalk and blackboard are still in use.

God is just

FactBoyz:
From all indications, this meeting actually held. But my issue is that why is it that Top Christians aren't speaking against this Muslim Muslim ticket?

If it were Christian Christian, the revered Sultan and most Emirs will speak without reservations. Why must top pastors be speaking in parables in these sensitive times.

God bless Pastor Enenche, Abioye and others for speaking out when others sound diplomatic

Muslims are not known for pettiness.

All is bad, but drug is the worst.

A drug addicted person can commit any crime. Read it again, any crime. Murder, kidnapping, raping, robbery, etc. Our society as bad as it is, may even praise a womaniser, nobody in his right sane would applaud a drug addicted person.

For a peaceful coexistence of different faithful, we do not need to be hypocrites. What we need is respect for other religion. Those Muslims that went to ECWA acted opposite to what Allaah says.

I just wish we can understand each other, and respect our differences

SHINJA:
E be like say too much head slamming for ground dey mk some yoruba Muslims head dey skip..

Even though you are nuisance, you deserve to be tutored. Note, we worship our God by 'slamming' head for ground, is that clear? How do you glorify your own?

doggedfighter:
The audacity of the adulterated fuel seller !

He could have killed this handsome boy for nothing.


He must be found !


You set an undergraduate ablaze?


That's unacceptable !

You are correct, however, it doesn't matter the victim was undergraduate, the crime is grievous even if he was a bus conductor or alabaru

limeta:
The Muslim problems

Thank you. It is our problem, we don't condone nonsense. Our religion first before anything

You are your first enemy. You need to fight yourself to break through off your self-bondage. You sue yourself before you sue your second enemy. You lack respect for yourself thereby you settle for low. I don't think there is a way out for you in that job, and for you to survive, you will be begging people for money, eat others people right etc.

Even if it is POS business, you are employer of yourself. You can set up a kindergarten school, (jeleosinmi), you can be selling small wares. You can do many things better than that poor salary job.

Think, think and work legitimately. I wish you best

Ballzproblemm:
but will a Muslim person do same , they'll start to find verse in their shitty Koran , that it is halal abi Haram to help unbelievers

Ori rẹ lo daru

Whenever I preach against watching Nollywood, my people react that there are lessons and wisdom to gain from it. I ask, can someone who lack something give it? Those Nollywood actors and actresses don't have what it takes to build marriage, then how do you want to learn building your home from them? Only God knows numbers of houses that have been shattered because wives compared what she watched on TV with her home.

Skyfornia:
How can someone dressed like this and minister in a church? I don't believe it.. probably a Photoshop.

I reason along with you, even though I am a muslim

Without any argument, nollywood is bad. Every sane person knows that. But the likes of Islamic movies like Omar Series, Imam Ahmad, and some kids videos that are meant to explain stories of past leaders, can't we watch them? There is even a movie by one Yoruba woman; Kaffy- 'A Date With Asmau', so?
