Lamido Sanusi?

Dont even know him!

Just as we did not know Soludo, Iweala, Ekwesuili, Akunyili, Ribadu, etc before Obasanjo appointed them. Those we know very well, what have they done. It is high time we have people not so know but can do the work in place to move the country forward. Enough of recycle.

when would this slavery of the south by the north end. when? every key position in this country is held by he hausa man and yet they are the most unproductive set of people the world has ever known anyway majority of them are very low in intellect however i must say a couple of them have been able to surpass the norm

Have you really done an analysis of key positions in the country before your conclusion. State your fact if you have it, or are you saying Northerners are not entitled to appointments even if they qualified. The most important thing is good results, zoning and federal character are not always best if you really want meritorious assignment remember. Let us wish the new CBN governor well as his failure would affect all he will still collect his salary any how.

@lastpage: I agree with you the ISPs in Nigeria are just rip offs, take Starcomms for instance, it takes forever to download a 10min clip on you tube, Most of them are practically non existent out side Lagos. Its frustrating when one has used better systems outside Nigeria and get to Nigeria you would think you have gone back 100 years in civilization. All that government agent could do is make sweet and empty promisory statements. NITEL that is supposed to be cheap and affordale could not be made to run, always claiming sabotage its facilities by vandals sponsored the GSM companies.

$osisi, davidylan et al, I am not on a debate trip with you or anyone for that matter, that article pasted is with the source. My expectation of Nairaland is that it is a collection of enlighten minds and should respect each others views and believe.

Muslims are not to eat pork based on Allah's injunction and there is no need to justify it. However, modern science is confirming this and some other directives today. Even your response confirmed the pork fattening too. We are all aware of how much is spent on weight loss program in the world today and how lots of people die of high blood pressure and stroke.

Whether one accepts or not does not add or diminish the religious status of Islam, same for all other believes in the world too.

Allah has provided lots of alternatives and given all freedom to choose.

This will be my final submission on this.

Ma Salaam

This is the most unfortunate statement from a person as high as being in Nigeria House of Rep. It most unguarded and every Nigerian should feel bad and sadden for this. It really sad. As much as I do not support the way the militants are going about their struggle, but wishing everybody in the area dead and wastable is most callous and crude. If one has nothing good to or does no know what to say he or she should keep quiet.

Great Facts on Pork
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. Following text give you reasons why Allah (SWT) has forbidden eating pork. There are many other reasons which we do not know of but ALLAH (SWT) knows.

"You are what you eat" - Native American proverb

In folklore terms, eating the meat of the pig is said to contribute to lack of morality and shame, plus greed for wealth, laziness, indulgence, dirtiness and gluttony. We insult a person by calling him or her a "Pig" when they demonstrate these characteristics. Muslims are forbidden by God to eat the meat of the pig (pork).

This is detailed in verses 2:173, 5:3, 6:145, and 16:115 of the Qur'an. An exemplary verse is quoted here: "He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Is Pork Forbidden to Muslims Only?

The Jews and Christians are also forbidden from eating pork. Here is a quote from the Old Testament to that effect: "And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." Deuteronomy 14:8
Many Christians believe that this verse was directed only at the Jews. But Jesus himself says during the Sermon on the Mount; "Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Some Christians say that, after a vision by St. Peter, God cleansed all animals and made them fit and lawful for human consumption. If ALL animals are cleansed by Peter's vision, this includes dogs, cats, vultures, and rats: but you just don't see people getting excited about a cat-meat sandwich like they do over barbecued pork or bacon. Others say that it was Paul who rescinded the law forbidding pork to humans, in order to appease the Romans, who enjoyed the taste of pig-meat. Many excuses have been given, but none are very sound.

Many Far Eastern traditions also discourage the eating of pork. The 3,000 year old Confucian Book of Rites says, "Agentleman does not eat the flesh of pigs and dogs." Although many Chinese are avid eaters of pork today, physicians of ancient China recognized pork-eating as the root of many human ailments. Buddhists, Jains and Hindus usually avoid eating any kind of meat.
 

Bad effects of pork consumption

Pig's bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases. Although some of these infestations are harbored in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far more predisposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because pigs like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs.
Influenza (flu) is one of the most famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harbored in the lungs of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and humans in the cooler months. Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who eat pork sausage tend to suffer more during epidemics of influenza. Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imidazole compounds, which can lead to itching and inflammation; growth hormone, which promotes inflammation and growth; sulphur-containing mesenchymal mucus, which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage, resulting in arthritis, rheumatism, etc.

Sulfur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage. Eating pork can also lead to gallstones and obesity, probably due to its high cholesterol and saturated fat content. The pig is the main carrier of the taenia solium worm, which is found it its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has trichinosis from eating trichina worms which are found in pork. Many people have no symptoms to warn them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are not noticed during meat inspections, nor are they killed by salting or smoking. Few people cook the meat long enough to kill the trichinae. The rat (another scavenger) also harbors this disease. There are dozens of other worms, germs, diseases and bacteria which are commonly found in pigs, many of which are specific to the pig, or found in greater frequency in pigs.

Pigs are biologically similar to humans, and their meat is said to taste similar to human flesh. Pigs have been used for dissection in biology labs due to the similarity between their organs and human organs. People with insulin-dependent diabetes usually inject themselves with pig insulin.
 

Kindness to animals

Every creature was created by Allah for a purpose. The Prophet always encouraged being kind to animals. Although we should not eat the meat of the pig, it doesn't mean that we should hate pigs. We should show them the same kindness as any other animal, and not abuse or torture them. Pigs score high on tests devised to determine animal intelligence; in other words, they are very smart. It used to be that Europe people believed that pork would taste better if the pigs were kept in a state of filth, but this is not the natural inclination of the pig. When left to their own devices, it is said that pigs do not like to soil their sleeping quarters. As for their tendency to wallow in mud, that is done mainly to keep cool.
