I tell u today that Islam is the problem of the north because of its totalitarian system.

Separation of state and religion is african.

AbuHammaad:
So If saudi arabia end up investing in Nigeria, you'll kill yourself

You lot just spew rubbish.Your hatred for anything resembling Islam beclouds your reasoning

We're talking about foreign investment, you're talking about religion

When Jonathan went to jerusalem, whose God was he worshipping? Otuoke God?

And what's your business if he worships anyone's God anyway?

How does him not worshipping "your own God" put food on your table or affect your life

Does it itch your skin? Does that increase or decrease your salary?
thank God u said if....they never invest all they wud invest is in cultural expansion via islam for easily brainwashed ppl like u dat cannot see the big picture.

Their own investment is mosque or arabic textbook or hajj trip all to bow down to their god...i dont hate but becos u dont know ur history thats y u cant see the big picture


Look at the north for example and see wat islam has done to it. Ask urself how much of Nigerias earning was spent to fight islamic extermism last year.

How islamic education has turned the north to generate more beggars than any other part of nigeria

There was a lot of Heat between the two Kingdoms, now that the previous Ooni is passed and we have a New one, why on earth would anyone want to start another round of Trouble? Like saying the Oba of Benin does not know his History or wanting the Ooni to deny his Heritage. I saw all the Fight that went down on Facebook couple of weeks ago cos of this and I think it was very Mean of the Alake to start this, cos its a Never ending Story or Saga as both side believe they are right and it will remain so until the end of time.

Other examples are:
The word “amon” which means “to conceal” or “concealed” in Ancient Egyptian language, it has the same meaning in Yoruba language. For example: “fi p’amon” means “conceal it” or “regard it as hiding”.
“Wu” which means “rise up” or “swell”
“Omi” signifies water in Yoruba but is used only as an adverb viz. “miri-miri” - “dazzling like water”.).
Most of the Ancient Egyptian principal Gods were well known at one time to the Yorubas. Among them are: Osiris, Isis, Horus, Shu, Thoth, Khpera, Amon, Anu, Khonsu, Knum, Khopri, Hathor, Sakaris, Ra, Seb. Most of them survive in name or attributes, or in both.
“Ra” for instance, survives in name for the majority of the present–day Yoruba people are no longer Sun worshippers. Yet words like “Irawo”, “Ra-ra”, preserve the idea. The literal meaning of “Irawo” (a star) is: that which appears when “Ra” (the sun) has set (“Wo” means set). The Yoruba expression: “Ra-ra” (Not at all, or no-no), is probably an old form of swearing by the sun-God, Ra.
The word “amon” exists in the Yoruba language with the same meaning as it has in the language of the Ancient Egyptians. The God Amon is one of the Gods formally known to the Yoruba. Moreover, the Yoruba word “Mon” (or “Mimon”), which means holy or sacred, is probably derived from the name of the God Amon. Also, “Thoth” was the Ancient Egyptian God of truth or righteousness. If the initial letters ‘th’ become’s ‘t’, and the final ‘th’ is dropped, the word thus become “to” – which in Yoruba means: “right”, “fair”, or “just”.
Other words presumed to derive from Thoth are: “O-ti-to”, truth, or that which belongs to truth. Also the word: “E-to”, rights, fairness or justice.

But ow can 1 rank d Ooni of ife ova d oba of beni? Is it dt dat oba does not knw his own history? Oduduwa was a son of d oba of beni,he den found his. Way 2 yoruba land & on reachin der he was immediately crowned king, because der was a prophesy dat a king will cme out 4rm a particular locatn thru a bush & thus did oduduwa. His children founded d states of d present yoruba kingdom. So Ooni of ife is a son 2 d oba of beni. Go and read ur history.
Fabu.

the Yoruba angle is that oduduwas grandson oramiyan went to Benin from oyo and became a leader. Perhaps they were without a king...he had a child with a Benin woman...eweka

The story continued that the Benin ppl chased oramiyan away while his son became king.

On getting back to oyo he called the land Ile ibinu which in yoruba means land of angry ppl

So oduduwa was not a son of a Benin king. He came from Egypt as espaced when Arabs where killing all the black ppl just like isis is doing in Syrian

Unfortunately, we're in a country where ignorance holds sway.If any of you know how much weight that name Al-Saud carries in Saudi
Arabia, you'll all bury your heads in shame.The house of Saud is the ruling royal family in Saudi Arabia.That's the most powerful family in the country alongside the Aal-As-Shaykh family and it's eternal .Anyone from these two families is an authority.The fact that Buhari didn't meet king salman doesn't mean he met lower-class people.Saudi doesn't operate our kind of system.There's nothing like president and besides we're talking about Riyadh.Incase he doesn't know, Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

But because this is coming from someone who people see as an "intelligent" person, everyone agrees with him.Monkey see monkey do

I’m not quite sure we understand the indignity that our President is letting himself, and as a result, his office, to be put through.

Just so you will understand the disdain with which the Saudis are taking his visit, he was received on arrival in Riyadh by Faisal Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who happens to be the governor of Riyadh.

Imagine, say, Nicolás Maduro, decided to visit Nigeria, and we sent Muhammad Musa Bello to welcome him at the airport? Yes, that’s the implication, a junior member of the Saudi cabinet is who received our President. If you don’t find that to be a calculated insult, then you don’t hold the office of President, Federal Republic of Nigeria to any standard at all.

I’m also ashamed that FIVE of our state governors were at the airport to receive Buhari in Saudi Arabia! FIVE! Since when did these men, Amosun, Aregbesola, Masari, Shettima and Yari, become Saudi citizens or officials? Don’t they know their jobs? Osun has not paid staff since God talked to Moses, yet Rauf won’t attempt to figure out a solution to the problem, instead he is going to Saudi Arabia to do otimkpu for Buhari. What is wrong with us? Why are we cursed like this?

By the way, I lie, the governor of Riyadh is not even a cabinet member. So, his receiving Buhari is actually the equivalent of Rauf receiving Obama at the airport if Obama ever decides to insult himself with a visit here. Shame on us!‎
Arab no send u. Arabs view Africans in 2 ways.

1 weak
2 stupid or brainless

And u can thank d muslims for that



Because we have Africans bowing to their god.

And they do not bow to our own God.

Op, inasmuch as I agree with you that the place of hardwork cannot be overemphasised in the race to be successful, the place of favour of God is invaluable in the race of destiny.

There is this saying that my respected mentor used to say, I have observe it to be true

"One day of favour is worth more than a life time of efforts"

"Favour is what colours your effort(hardwork). When its absent struggle and frustration is inevitable"

"You may have the ability and knowledge but no one may call for it because favour is absent. Thats why we have so many qualified and capable folks all over the place but nothing really to show for it in most of their lifes for some of them"

I work hard to achieve my goal in life.I have tasted devine favour few times. On one of such occasions I did my very best to achieve a particular goal but it wasn't good enough to achieve it but God gave me favour to colour my efforts.The result was great.

Hardwork + the favour of God makes a high flyer.

The celebrated Dangote who is the richest black man. I heard the Late Archbishop Benson idahosa in 1990 after he heard he was a business man then, blessed him and told him the whole world would stand up for him because he gave up his seat in an Aircraft for the Archbishop guest who needed to travel but the plane was full.

Dont even try to compare us with the white man.They have their issues.The average white man is neck deep in debt.

Debt for house than may require up to 40 years to pay out
Debt for Car that may require up to 10 years to pay out
Debt for school fees that they must pay when they start working.
Even though I don't disagree but u r thinking is limited.

Cars, aeroplane etc were not built by favour. These are the products with which will makes us to be a poor nation because we have to depend on others hardwork

Favour is a gamble like playing baba Ijebu and not going to work.

If you are Nigerian, share this picture to your timeline. Let the world know we are a great people. You can choose to see yourself and your country as criminal or choose to project yourself and your country as one of hardworking and motivated people. The choice is yours.

I do not need New York Times to tell me about how upwardly mobile Nigerians are. I look at myself and the search for an improved status in the US and I see other Nigerians doing the same...Igbo, Yoruba, minorities all. I see us and I am proud. However, since New York Times confirms it, I have to agree with them.
I am Nigerian and I am proud.

Nigeria must shift its focus away from oil exploration. There is huge potential in the exploration of solid minerals.
the huge potential is turning the minerals into products

t least 50 people are reported to have been killed in north-eastern Nigeria in a gun and bomb attack by suspected Boko Haram militants.
Pictures from the village of Dalori show burned-out buildings and charred livestock.
Fires from the burning village could be seen in the the city of Maiduguri, nearly 10km (six miles) away.
One witness reported hearing the screams of children as huts were set on fire.
Other survivors say the shooting on Saturday evening continued for hours and left barely any parts of the village untouched.
Residents said at least 50 people were killed, although a Reuters reporter counted 65 bodies at a hospital morgue.

Witnesses said the attackers arrived on motorbikes and in lorries and were wearing military uniforms, Nigerian media reported.
Survivor Alamin Bakura told the Associated Press that he hid in a tree as the attackers struck on Saturday evening.
He said he saw militants firebomb huts and heard the screams of children as people were burned to death. He said several members of his family were among those killed or wounded.
Boko Haram has also been blamed for deadly bomb attacks in neighbouring Chad on Sunday.
At least three people were killed and dozens wounded when two suicide bombers struck two locations near Lake Chad, officials said.
Boko Haram's Islamist insurgency has claimed thousands of lives and displaced more than two million people over the past six years.
Recent attacks have involved suicide bombers targeting civilians in Nigeria's north-east and across the border in northern Cameroon.
Cameroon is part of a regional coalition fighting the group, along with Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Benin.


DALORI, NIGERIA -- A survivor hidden in a tree says he watched Boko Haram extremists firebomb huts and heard the screams of children burning to death, among 86 people officials say died in the latest attack by Nigeria's homegrown Islamic extremists.

Scores of charred corpses and bodies with bullet wounds littered the streets from Saturday night's attack on Dalori village and two nearby camps housing 25,000 refugees, according to survivors and soldiers at the scene just 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and the biggest city in Nigeria's northeast.

The shooting, burning and explosions from three suicide bombers continued for nearly four hours in the unprotected area, survivor Alamin Bakura said, weeping on a telephone call to The Associated Press. He said several of his family members were killed or wounded.

The violence continued as three female suicide bombers blew up among people who managed to flee to neighboring Gamori village, killing many people, according to a soldier at the scene who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists.

Troops arrived at Dalori around 8:40 p.m. Saturday but were unable to overcome the attackers, who were better armed, said soldiers who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. The Boko Haram fighters only retreated after reinforcements arrived with heavier weapons, they said.

Journalists visited the carnage Sunday and spoke to survivors who complained it had taken too long for help to arrive from nearby Maiduguri, the military headquarters of the fight to curb Boko Haram. They said they fear another attack.

Eighty-six bodies were collected by Sunday afternoon, according to Mohammed Kanar, area coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency. Another 62 people are being treated for burns, said Abba Musa of the State Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri.

Boko Haram has been attacking soft targets, increasingly with suicide bombers, since the military last year drove them out of towns and villages in northeastern Nigeria.
