sunnyprof:
But there is no MPNU again, we have Seplat bought them over .... This ad may be fake or outdated!!

This is a lie. Exxonmobil is still in Nigeria. They only sold some of their assets to Seplat. They now focus on deepwater assets. Please do not confuse people.

tiger28:
We collect DEBTS in DOLLARS, repayment of the loans are in DOLLARS …….So calculations of how much is owed MUST be calculated in DOLLARS!!!!

They are just trying to be SMART by using Naira to calculate our debts.

Only ILLITERATES will fall for this.

Did you actually read the post?

Ordinary Labour Party problem he cant solve. Shior!!!

AMINDA:
Open confession to what crime? Prove that a crime was committed and how. An individual cannot be forced to testify against himself.

Na so dem dey intercept official security communications to pass to te****sts and ba***cts. Na dem go dey use dia mouths to confess one by one.

Dont be surprised when US send their invoice for the millitary supplies. Dem no be father Christmas.

Some people are simply sad that the kidnapped people have been rescued.

Sterope:
I diislikee the Ooni immensely but this Alaafin appears to be very rvde and arrogant.

I guess you are not Yoruba. So it wouldn't matter to the Yorubas if you like or dislike any of them.

Urgent1Million:
This is very unnecessary.
Handing the mic to Alaafin wasn't a disrespect by the Ooni. The man is left-handed and feels more comfortable handling things with his left hand.
He even writes with his left hand.
Also, I see the action of the Alaafin as a mere precaution. I have a colleague who doesn't even handle a mic during official events.
I believe this isn't the first time the Alaafin will be wrapping a mic before using it. That's why his aide was there ready with the handkerchief.
As usual, bloggers just want to make something out of nothing.

Every Yoruba child is trained to eat with their right hand. They are also trained never to give someting to or receive things from someone with left hand. When some of us were young, you dare not give something to your parents or receive things from them with your left hand without the appropriate punishment.

Even pointing to something or someone with left hand is seen as a sign of disrespect. There is even a saying in Yoruba that it is a bastard that points to his fathers house with the left hand. We can excuse the Ooni because he is left handed though, so I don't see any big deal.

With respect to the Alaafin's conduct, I really don't see anything bad or disrespectful in what he did. He collected the mic with his right hand and gave it to his aid to wrap with the white handkerchief the way he normally does. Go and look at past pictures or videos of the young king and you will see that when he is holding the mic, he never speaks into it without wrapping it with the white handkerchief. I think the young king is well brought up.

Photoshop.

whippersnapper:
This ustaz is just chasing clout. Everything was not said in the Qur'an. That doesn't make it haram. E.g listening to music,masturbating.
Conducting a DNA is to ascertain the owner of the child. The holy book did not say you just take a burden that is not your own. Please everybody should ignore this man. He's not one of us

Very true.

General Islamic Principles on Paternity

Lineage in Shariah is very important because it affects inheritance, family rights, and identity.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“The child belongs to the (owner of) the bed (i.e., the husband), and for the fornicator is the stone (i.e., nothing).”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

This means if a woman is married, her child is attributed to her husband, unless he denies it formally (through liʿān – mutual cursing procedure).

🧬 DNA Testing and Paternity in Islam

Most contemporary scholars do not forbid DNA testing outright.

They allow it as a supporting tool for establishing paternity, but not as the primary basis that overrides Shariah rules.

Key Scholarly Views:

Permissible as Evidence:

The International Islamic Fiqh Academy (OIC) and many national fatwa councils (e.g., in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia) say DNA can be used to:

Confirm or deny paternity in disputes.

Identify unknown children (orphans, lost children).

Support criminal investigations (rape cases).

Limits on Use:

In a marriage, paternity is still tied to the husband unless he denies it through the liʿān process. DNA cannot override this default.

DNA may be used to support or clarify claims, but not to replace the Shariah principle of “the child belongs to the bed.”

Cases of Zina (fornication/adultery):

If a child is conceived outside wedlock, DNA can prove biological fatherhood, but Shariah usually does not assign legal lineage (nasab) to the man unless he marries the mother and acknowledges the child.

✅ Conclusion

Islam does not forbid DNA testing for paternity.

It is considered permissible and useful as supporting evidence.

However, it does not replace Shariah rules on lineage, especially in cases of marriage and legitimacy.

These people will never cease to amaze people that, they are worth to give any sympathy .


Even if you are to ask, is it this time you are supposed to ask

So, what is the right time for them to ask? Does them recognising Palestine now wash away their sins since the past 80 years?

lexy2014:
is next years budget ready?

Yes or no

Meaningless question!!!

lexy2014:
is next years budget ready?

what is the essence of the revenue target they say they achieved?

The revenue target they achieved is for 2025. Please take your time to read or listen to the speech.

Would you only start looking for funding after the next year budget is ready? Dont you think it will be totally irresponsible of the government to do that. It is just 4 months until the end of the year.

HeadNigga:
Revenue target met yet seeking for loans. Is the loan for next year's target?

Yes, for next year's budget.

Karleb:
You should be happy your parents atleast had what they had.

They begged some of their mates to go to school and they refused.

Are the youth of today doing better with respect to their real education?

Where is the "large crowd" that welcome him. I can't see anything large in the video.

It shows our former vice president is jobless.

emkz:
What exactly are they looking for in the reports?

What we heard during campaigns:

1. Tinubu is not well.

2. Tinubu did not attend primary and secondary schools.

3. Tinubu is a drug dealer.

4. Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago State University. After someone went to do a deposition, it was established that Tinubu did graduate. So they shifted narrative that Tinubu used someone's identity.

5. After Tinubu won because they were too distracted to focus on winning, they said Tinubu bribed INEC chairman. If they had brains, they could have said Tinubu bribed state RECs and returning officers, because the results were not read by INEC boss but by returning officers. INEC boss only read out the final compiled results.

6. Tinubu has a Guinean passport.

7. FBI and CIA have 2,500 pages on Tinubu.

8. Hand dey shake, leg dey shake, Baba wey no well, he dey shout emilokan.

9. Tinubu is a CIA asset.

One thing is that even if people deny the obvious, even if Tinubu is everything they say he is; those who lost elections are licking their wounds. Instead of understanding why, they are looking for dirt to throw. The biggest issue with those fighting Tinubu is the harvest of self-contradictions. Some people are already celebrating FBI and CIA files. Maybe the new information would be that Tinubu has three eyes or 5 additional legs.

If all the things peddled against him could not stop his victory, would the things peddled now help the opponents get traction? Even if you give the opposition a smoking gun, they'd misuse it.

Emefiele and Arise News handed them a smoking gun with naira repainting voodoo and media propaganda against Tinubu with the likes of Rufai Oseni ordering Tinubu to come to their studios to face interrogation. At the end, the principal flagbearer picked a weightless running mate, refused to reconcile warring parties and went into an election.

They lost. They are losing their own base now, but Tinubu is their problem!

Their problem is spiritual, caused by village people using their brain to play two direct.

Leave dem make dem continue their wild goose chase as their main strategy. It will make it easy for Tinubu to thoroughly beat his opponents again.

Una never tire?

You are not invited sir

No, democracy didnt collapse when Fubara was suspended. Democracy collapsed in Rivers state when Fubara moved in bulldozers to destroy the state assembly which is an independent arm of government. Fubara didnt have the power to do what he did then and afterwards with the budget etc.

Stupid headline by unpatriotic nairaland owner, moderators and op

Dont mind them. Really stupid headline. 1.2% depreciation is "massive". Only negative news about their country excite them.

mrvitalis:
If the election in 2027 have any resemblance of being free and fair Tinubu dont stand a single chance not a single chance he would lose before 12 noon

No body on earth can rig election in the North East and North West if you are unpopular

Tinubu rigged because he was popular somehow not now again

South East... Them no born him papa well to come rig here

3 zone gone... The rest 3 zones he is not sure of winning 2 south South and middle belt rigging can give him victory here but net votes would be so small it would be meaningless

....and how many votes are in the whole of SE sates put together?

I can't understand. How will probing her attendance embarrass Nigeria more than what she had already stayed there? Those who seek equity must go with clean hands.

Gandollar:
I dunno, but you are wrong.

If not for the demotion, her cleaning job can fetch her better things in 5 years compared to the colleagues she left behind

Not true. Her mates who remain in the banking job will be far better than her in the next 10 years. Mark my words. I've seen so many and know so many.

God bless the Nigerian armed forces. God bless Nigeria.

Alaafin Corrects Ooni On Historical Claims Linking Yoruba & Igbo

AJE: AN EARLY YORUBA DEITY WITH NO SECOND FIDDLE.
BY ALAAFIN OF OYO.
SCRIPT OF THE LETTER

PUBLISHED IN THE NIGERIAN TRIBUNE ON THURSDAY, 2 MAY, 2019 PAGE 9

In recent time, I have been inundated with calls and even visits to my Palace on a recent Video Tape showing His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife during the Aje Festival in Ile-Ife, Osun State. With all sense of modesty but candour, I cannot recall exactly the number of the video tapes that have been sent to me by well-meaning Yoruba elders and patriots.

(2) In the same vein, the traditional rulers have not been left out of this concern and legitimate worries. All across Yoruba speaking areas of Nigeria up to Kwara and Kogi states, the situation to say the least, has been breathless. Even the Yoruba in the Diaspora; Republics of Benin and Togo, Brazil, Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada etc have also expressed indignation about the current issue.

(3) Initially, my reaction was to stand by my age long resolve, as the king and Head of Yorubaland, not to interfere in the running of the affairs of other Paramount rulers in Yorubaland of which the Ooni of Ife is one. But after listening thoroughly with meticulous assessment and analysis of the tape, I did not hesitate to come to the conclusion that the time for me to interfere was ripe and absolutely expedient less the cherished historical and cultural heritage of the Yoruba is wantonly dragged in the mud. My interference, therefore, is daintily anchored on the sanctity of Yoruba history, origin and custom which I am convinced the said video tape by Oba Enitan Ogunwusi did not observe.

(4) Yet, even in my response, one should be cautious enough against any inter ethnic hostility and malice within Nigerian context, especially between Yoruba and Igbo. But this should not be turned into historical fallacies. I doubt if any Igbo man familiar with the history of his origin will be happy with the fallacious claim that they originated from Obatala.

(5) Also I do not think the Igbo with a record of highly respected origin will feel comfortable after tracing their origin to ancient Israel with lineage to Eri, the fifth son of Gad who was the seventh son of Jacob, who was the youngest son of Isaac, son of Abraham. Eri, the son of Gad was said to have entered the present Egypt, journeying down Africa, crossing the Nile to Ethiopia (present day Sudan) and finally into the present day Enugwu Aguleri (for more details about this see: THE BOOK NIGERIA 2.O. CARAPACE PUBLISHERS NIGERIA LIMITED. Pg 46 ORIGIN OF THE IGBO: OBU GAD (HOUSE OF GAD) ANAMBRA STATE. Khartoum Street, Wuse, Zone 5, Abuja Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria or www.dayoadedayo.com). Certainly, the Igbo people who are proud of their origin will not feel comfortable with any pseudo history that will make them superior to Israel.

(6) I am not aware of any business relationship between the Yoruba and the Igbo until the 19th century, leading to the amalgamation of the Southern Protectorate and Northern Protectorate that resulted into Nigeria in 1914. In other words, we are related as fellows Nigerians who have been enjoying mutual relationship for each other. Culturally, linguistically, traditionally and historically, we are basically different. We have always striven to promote harmonious understanding in our diversities.

(7) AJE Coming back to the origin of Aje – Commerce, the cowry (Owoeyo) had been the Yoruba medium of exchange long before the Europeans came. Hence the decoration of Sekere drum with cowries in appreciation and honour of Aje deity it is to say the least, instructively abominable for anybody, no matter how highly placed to put any tribe above the Yoruba race as far as legitimate trading business is concerned. This is because Aje remains one of the early deities of the Yoruba whose imagery creation is the popular Sekere music played everywhere in Yorubaland.

( Alaafin Onisile 1738 – 1750: Alaafin Onisile was remarkable for his indomitable courage and lion-hearted spirit. He was moreover very artistic, and was said to have made seven silver doors to the entrances of his sleeping apartment. During his reign, the Sekere (Calabash) drum was ornamented, not only with cowries, but also with costly beads e.g. Iyun (Corals), Okun (Stone beads, Benin), Erinla (stripped yellow pipe beads) and Segi (blue pipe beads), strung with silk thread dyed red; all of native manufacture. He was a great warrior and for his exploits was nicknamed “Gbagida! Wowo I’ewon ab’esin fo odi (Gbagida, an expression of admiration), a man with clanging chains (for prisoners) whose horse can lead over a town wall). The History of the Yorubas. Pg.176 by Rev, Samuel Johnson.

(9) Besides, some families in Yorubaland are classified adherents of Aje deity. Some of these families named their children in honour of their chosen deity, i.e. Aje. Such names include: Ajebandele, Ajewumi, Ajifowobaje etc not to talk of those who dedicate time to worship the deity.

(10) It is also a truism that some cognomen, lineage panegyric, such cognomen include: Aje ti so eru d’omo. Yet another is special request and plea to Aje such as “Aje dakun ma na mi ni pasan re ko se nani” and many others like that.

(11) Coming back to modern trade, I make bold to say that it was the imitative of Alaafin who opened the Yoruba to Trans-Sahara trade with West African Countries as early as the fifteenth century. This was especially between the Yoruba and the Hausa-Fulani across West Africa. Trade routes led from Timbuktu in Mali, Goa, Tuareg and Tripoli. Still as far as (Oceanic) Coastal trade was concerned, the Alaafin used the Port of Allada in Wema to control European shippers. “By the middle of the 18th century, when Oyo had grown into an empire in the full bloom of life, Oyo was bounded to the north by the Niger, to the West by Modern Togoland, to the east by its sister Kingdom of Benin and to the South by the Gulf of Guinea, and Porto Novo and Badagry were its main coastal outlets. Dahomey, it may be recalled, became a tributary state of Oyo in 1730 see: Topics in West African History, pg. 90 Paragraph 22 by Adu Boahen, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History, University of Ghana. Published by Longman Group Limited, London 1966.

(12) One other imperative of Yoruba in the pursuit of commerce is that any such pursuit must be legitimate with norms of the society. It is on this note that Yoruba sweat and labour as necessary partners; Yoruba do not encourage cheating and unlaboured wealth. Yoruba work very hard to be wealthy.

“Ise ni Oogun ise
Eni ti ise nse
Ko ma bo orisa
Oro kokan torisa
Ibaa bo orisa
Ibaa bo obatala
O di ojo ti o ba sise ko to jeun”

“Work is the medicine for poverty
Who ever is poor
Let him not worship divinities
Nothing concerns the divinities
He may worship the divinities
He may worship Obatala
It is not until he does a profitable job that he would eat”

(13) The above quotations underscore the fact that the Yoruba are very industrious from the beginning with strong emphasis on legitimacy. We have such wealthy and successful businessmen in Lagos who invested heavily on the education of their children. Few examples would suffice. For instance, in 1884, Obadia Johnson, a Yoruba qualified as a Doctor of Medicine. John Randle, son of Thomas Randle an Oyo man who settled at Aroloya in Lagos qualified as a Doctor in 1888, followed by Orisadipo Obasa in 1891. Sapara Williams became the first Lawyer in Nigeria in 1888. In 1893, Herbert Macaulay, a Yoruba man, became an Engineer and A. Agbebi followed in 1911.

(14) Earlier on a Primary School had been established in 1842 in Lagos by the Missionaries. The CMS Grammar School was established in Lagos in 1859 by T.B Macaulay who is the father of Herbert Macaulay. The Methodist Boys’ High School followed in 1876 and in 1879 Methodist Girls’ High School, 1881 St Gregory’s College, Lagos and in 1885 the Baptist Academy (see J.F. Ade Ajayi “The Development of Secondary Grammar School Education in Nigeria, pg 523.

(15) It also on account of such entrepreneurship backup with distinguished scholarship that the Yoruba established the first Television Station in Black Africa, the first five-star Hotel – Premier Hotel, Ibadan, first Stadium, first dualised Road – Mokola – to State Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, first Food Canning Industry, first Skyscrapper – Cocoa House, Ibadan, first farm settlement, First Free Primary Education, free Medical services for school children; all in the former Western Region of Nigeria under the premiership of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The first African Bishop was Bishop Ajayi Crowther, who spoke twelve languages: English, Yoruba, Ibo, Hausa, Fulfulde (Fulani) Nupe, Kanuri etc, Bishop Ajayi Crowther discovered the first ever Igbo Alphabet ‘ISIOMA’ just as the first Newspaper to be published in Nigeria. These are just a few of the “firsts”.

(16) In summary, let it be stated that Nigeria, despite the multiplicity of its ethnicity has been together in harmony in spite of their heterogeneity. All of us leaders should guide against any utterance that can create an atmosphere of suspicion and rancor among the various ethnic compositions.
