TravelRe: Getting To Ile-ife by Remii(m): 7:14pm On Apr 21, 2010
^^^^^ lol, go get Avis - rent a car, then grin, since you are too fragile to enter Naija bus, with about N25k per day rental cost, you should be fine. On a good day, from Ojodu bridge to OAU at Ife entrance should take 2-3 hrs.
TravelRe: Getting To Ile-ife by Remii(m): 6:58pm On Apr 21, 2010
Getting bus or car from Ojota garage to Ife direct is your best bet, no try any soole jare, since you have not been there before, direct bus is better.

Almost all earliest great Americans were members of Freemasons, including Washington, Franklin etc, if they worshiped devil, how did they get "In God We Trust" into American logo. Just like Awolowo once said, "only those who know deep can call deep".

This statement had been in IBB and his cohorts' minds, even when IBB was in power, I could remember in 1988 during a student riot, Aikhomu, IBB's second in command, told Unilag students that they were not future Nigerian leaders.

Ta lo mo Okolo e l'Oyo = a way of tellling someone that he/she is unknown or insignificant


Story: Okolo was a horseminder in Oyo town. One of his friends was asked by his would be in laws to name his associates, he then called the name Okolo. The in laws jokingly asked sarcastically who the hell was Okolo "who knows your Okolo in Oyo". Okolo felt very bad about this, the following day he set the house of his master on fire. The arson incident made him known in Oyo town from then on.

"Ejo ngboro" = name given to someone that seem to be all over the town:

Literally means snake or serpent in the street or in town. Given originally to Hebert Macaulay because he seemed to be seen all over the town almost simultaneously, as a politician and surveyor, Herbert Macaulay could be seen at Ebute meta now, someone would say "I just saw him down there in Mushin" and so on. It means he is all over the town. Remember he was the first Nigerian to own a bicycle, which helped his movement too. Ejo ngboro implies as swift as a serpent.

BusinessRe: Dangers Of Allowing Sanusi Lamido Implement Sharia Banking - Learn From The USA by Remii(m): 4:17pm On Apr 15, 2010
@frosbel, pleasant: Thanks for your plesant comment on my post, the better we jaw-jaw, the lesser we war-war, lol


frosbel:
Like I said as far as nobody imposes their belief system on me as they tried to do in Kaduna, they can worship anything they like. Its their choice. We are born free agents and can freely choose any religion we want, though I believe there are consequences for our choices. Personally I do not want any aspect of Sharia to be introduced.
Nobody would impose any banking system on you, you have a right to choose what kind of banking you like. Like I have written before, Islamic window has always been existing and still existing, Muslims have the choice of saying, "Do not pay interest on my account" or collect the interest separately and dispose as Sadaka the way he likes. The system is not that Islamic banking would replace  the present one, but would be encouraged and promoted as an option, I think that is fair enough.


frosbel:
Okay, and what is the money used for, definitely not used to carry out Jihad.
any money in the hands of religious group is for the spread of that religion, The Christians use the money for Crusade, Crusade have the same meaning with Jihad.

frosbel:
I am not quite sure what you mean here, kindly explain .
Start from work days, Sat Sun off, who does that favour, fyi, before Independence, the Northerners were working Sun - Thurs, Fri and Sat were off.

Salary classifications such as Xmas bonus, etc. Muslims go to pilgrimage as a pillar of Islam, now Xtians must go to Israel whether it is biblical or not. I really do not want to derail this trend along religious line.
BusinessRe: Dangers Of Allowing Sanusi Lamido Implement Sharia Banking - Learn From The USA by Remii(m): 1:25pm On Apr 15, 2010
frosbel, what exactly is the point of your trend, are you against Islamic banking for fear of spread of Islam or what.

FYI, Nigerian banks donates to religious organisations and 90% of that money goes to churches, are they not funding Christianity that way. you may check their AGM report to confirm this.

Why is it that Muslims do not say a word, when non Muslims institutionalise their religious practices, but they would stop at nothing, including falsehood to oppose anything perceived to be Islamic. huh

frosbel:
Lets not turn this into an issue of religion.

Like you I am against the worldbank and IMF , they are simply capitalist , selfish institutions existing purely for maximum profit making .

But the crux of the issue with Islamic or Sharia banking as you read in my article is that it comes with[b] strings attached.
[/b]
I will try and do some more research , one that will be independent of CBN.  grin
There is no money without string attached, even the school fees parents pay for their children or food you eat at homes are not free, the salary you collect is based on agreement, NO FREE LUNCH.

Alhaji Mutallab,,.The Father As a Leader of Sharia Movement In Nigeria


", Like all of the muslim Northern Nigerian leaders, DR. Mutallab the father of the terrorist who is now shedding crocodile tears because he is one of the leaders who groom the Wahabism in Nigeria. Alhaji Dr. Mutallab the father also groomed Sharia law in Katsina State, Alhaji DR. Mutallab Groom Sharia in Kaduna State,Alhaji Dr. Mutallab groomed Sharia in Kano State, Most of the extremism Ulama in Northern Muslim Nigeria are benefactors of Alhaji Mutallab[b], Dr. Mutallab groomed extreme Muslim businesses in Saudi Arabia, He has extreme business in Dubai and he has extreme religious business in Yemen and he has business and property in Yemen.[/b] Alhaji Mutallab is the owner of the only Islamic Bank in Nigeria, Alhaji Mutallab has ties and interest in almost all the extremist muslim religious groups in Nigeria. He is a top leader of the Sharia movement COUNCIL in Nigeria. This guy is dangerous and he has gotten it hot and thats why he is running from pillar to post because he destroyed Nigeria with his corrupt ways and his muslim jihadist ideas for long time.

Dr. Mutallab the father of the terrorist was just covering his backside because he does not want to loose his investment in the Westen World and he does not want his family to be place on the no fly list as he wants to still enjoy his vacation and western women and western wine and drinks in Engalnd, Europe and America while still using extremism and corruption to maintain their corrupt hold in Nigeria by stealing from their people, thats thats why he reported his son to America, because he and most of the Muslim leaders in Nigeria knows more and they are part of the sponsors of world wide jihadism wahabism from Saudi Arabia, Sudan,Dubai, Yemen, Nigeria etc "




Now this is the same man who is one of the main proponents of Islamic banking in Nigeria. huh

He has ties to questionable sources and it is evident that there is something fishy going on.
LWKMD, I laugh in french:

@frosbel, FYI, Alhaji Mutallab just retired from First Bank as Chairman at the age of 70, Is FBN sharia banking, Na wa oo, NAIRALAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDIIIIIIII, grin grin grin grin
BusinessRe: Dangers Of Allowing Sanusi Lamido Implement Sharia Banking - Learn From The USA by Remii(m): 10:10am On Apr 15, 2010
That clip is from Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), so nothing different is expected.

FYI, Islamic banking is not new in Nigeria, so Sanusi is not implementing anything. Habib bank, when established by Abiola and YarAdua came with Islamic window and many banks have it, even now.

LOTUS Capital is Halal fund, and for your information, it is the mutual fund with least value losses, during the meltdown. We accept IMF damaging conditionalities but want to throw away both baby and bath water once we hear Islamic, what a brilliant idea grin shocked huh lipsrsealed,
SportsRe: Calling Lionel Messi The Greatest Player In The World Must Stop! - Pele by Remii(m): 9:03am On Apr 15, 2010
Pele and his likes like our own "Thunder" Teslim Balogun came ahead of their times so those who did not see them in action would argue their claims. Pele in 2000 decleared himself as "Sportman of the Century" in protest to declaration of Mohammed Alli by the award committee. In Nigeria for instance, people like Onigbide regards Thunder as the greatest footballer of all times, no matter what others think of Odegbami, JJ Okocha and the rest.
