doffman: They should rewrite the Quran the same way you Christians re write your own bible right ?
Christians are peaceful people, atheists are peaceful people, even idol worshipers are peaceful people to a very large extent. Is only islams that fight for their gods and can kill anyone. It's barbaric.
Obajemu: You are one of those that caused chaos in Nigeria and one of those that triggered religious fight in Nigeria
Imagine what you wrote about someone else religion and you are praising yours If they attack you now, you will say Muslims are this Muslims are that
Please get sense
attack me? Not new, everything about them is terrorism. Serious enough I know how they operate by killing and maiming. Earlier you guys change your ways better for you children of hate
BigBrother9ja: The problem is your Ignorance Stupîdity Shallowness Lack of common sense Inferiority complex And The feeling that you're the only right person.
The problem is not with the Christians but the Muslims. Christians are always peaceful but muslims are not. Until Muslims rewrite Quran by removing those chapters that relate with jihad, they will remain religiou of hate and lives in perpetual hatred for other religious or faith.
No it's not against the virus that 99.9% survive but against something more deadly than the virus that is police brutality even after the #ensars protest, killing continue unabated and those protestors banker accounts were hacked up till date.
uptimum123: Who are your best team for the job... Are you saying PDP had the best team for the job.
I wonder what you've achieved in your life to call Buhari failure
must it be pdp or apc? It's not about parties. A good politician will select the best technocrats into the strategic positions based on merit not ethnic or religious considerations. To your question on what I achieved in my life, I'm a private citizen, not accountable to the public. Buhari is a public servant who enjoyed everything from our treasury so he is accountable to the masses
uptimum123: Just so you know. With the fall in crude oil price and covid-19, almost all countries in this world are facing some form of hardship or difficulties.
Go ask the almighty US how much they just borrowed for covid-19 packages.
Also these problems you mentioned are currently being dealt with by the federal Government but you just chose to act oblivious.
Act like a wise man
how much was oil in the year 2000/2001? Stop giving excuses as the major problem. Buhari is a failure, a failure will always fail in selecting the best team for any job.
jaelz: It may surprise you but my starting capital was 25,000 which I used to make 4 pairs of shoes. Though what helped me was that my brother left the trade after he was done with his university degree so I just picked up some of his tools...
So I decided to share with you how I started my shoe business and how I was able to grow it to profitability, so I started out in 2016 by hiring a shoe maker and renting a shop, then I started engaging massively in social media marketing in 2017 and that was when the big break came for me. As we speak have sold over 1,700 pairs of shoes and the proceeds is what has been keeping me.
So guys lets help others know how we started and grew our business to profitability.
Rossnitti: The news of the release of the 300 Kankara schoolboys from the evil den of kidnappers, has been greeted with shock and dismay by anti-Buhari elements across the nation.
These perennially disgruntled and unscrupulous Nigerians have now resorted to fabricating all sorts of stories explaining the release, including claiming the president and commander in chief of the armed forces had nothing to do with the release.
Other fanciful tales include claims that the entire kidnap episode was 'staged', and was ostensibly to launder the image of the administration.
Meanwhile, reasonable, level-headed, and fair-minded Nigerians continue to commend the govt on the wonderful achievement of securing the boys' release back to their parents.
that doesn't take away the fact that he has failed. I really commend the katsina state government, he did everything within his power to get them release
Fahdiga: Jonathan is speaking too much this days which I think will be his own undoing. too much talking will demystify him. not everything needs a reaction
better for him to talk, buhari did so much to destroying him.
Buhari tried so hard to destroy you but God stood by you. All the corruption allegations made against you and some of your people, most were not proven up till date. Magu did alot of mess to the society that he will regret in the rest of his life.
Love is very key in marriage and note money is very important but remember, you can easily get money along the way when there is peace in marriage but you can't get easily get love. Go for love sister, don't listen to those telling you to go for money imagine when the money finishes? Money is a visitor but love isn't. Marriage is a long life journey don't cage your live with money. If God that originated marriage said marriage should be anchor on love, no one can change anything about it.
So go for love, love is everything but money isn't
I will start with a footnote on the billionaire Bishop, David Bello Oyedepo. He was born a Muslim, named Hasan by his father Bello Oyedepo. His mother was a Christian who converted to Islam when she married Bello. Bello had three other wives. After his higher education, Hasan became David. He instantly became a strong, aggressive and successful Christian activist. With his stupendous wealth, he reverted his mother to Christianity; then his father and brothers; then all except his three stepmothers who stuck to their guns and died Muslims. The last of them—Aasiyat— is the subject matter of this piece.
I set out searching for her in late 2013 when I read about how Bishop Oyedepo allegedly prophesized that she will die a miserably poor woman unless she converts to Christianity, like most other members of his family. Muslims on social media were shocked by the Bishop’s utterances.
After reading about her, I set out to meet her in 2013. I visited the headquarters of the Living Faith Church in Iyana Apaja, Lagos. Someone in a nearby mosque told me that the native home of the Oyedepos is in Omuaran, Kwara State. I drove to Ilorin the following morning and arrived Omuaran during Juma’ah congregation. After the prayer, I met the leaders of the mosque, introduced myself and asked about “Bishop Oyedepo’s sister who refused to convert to Christianity.” They became sceptical and started to interrogate me. They even brought a Fulani herder to confirm that I was indeed Fulani.
Finally, I was handed over to one brother, Bello Saad Bamidele, with whom we drove a short distance before arriving at the Oyedepo family house. Behind the front block was a flat in which a woman in her sixties was living. Bello entered and announced our arrival. After she was ready, I was ushered into her parlour. She was shy, full of smiles, but few words. She spoke only Yoruba; so Bello was very handy at the time and on my subsequent visits to her.
I did not want to open fresh wounds especially giving her shy nature; so I avoided asking her about her relationship with David. Instead, we focussed on Islam. I told her that it saddens other Muslims to learn about the pressure on her to convert to Christianity and salute her resolve to remain Muslim. I expressed the solidarity of other Nigerian Muslims with her and recounted the testimony that God gave about her namesake, the wife of Pharaoh, who kept her faith in the face of difficulties and, before God, became a symbol of faith who prayed to Him for a house in Heaven and rescue from Pharaoh and oppression.
Before I left her that afternoon, I asked Aasiyat if she had a request before the Muslim Ummah. She smiled and dropped her head for a while. Finally, when she gathered the courage to open up, she giraffed and whispered into the ear of Bello, who, having heard her request, shouted Allahu akbar! “What did she say,” I enquired, impatiently. He said, “She will love to fulfil her lifetime ambition—a pilgrimage to Mecca.” Look! She did not ask for money. Not a house or anything material. But just a spiritual journey. I told her that it was a modest request and we will pray that God grants it..
Alhamdulillah. He did. By the time the Hajj season commenced in 2014, I got in touch with a great sister, Fatima Afolore Jimoh, the then Secretary of the Pilgrims Board in Ilorin. She assured me of a seat and helped a lot to see that things went well. I linked her up with Bello in Omuaran and all arrangement were completed. The scheme nearly got k-legged when Aasiyat’s sons and other family members discovered she would travel to Mecca. They started agitating against it but we were faster, alhamdulillah. � We quickly ‘abducted’ Aasiyat from Omuaran, shipped her to Ilorin and hid her in a house until her day of departure to the Holy Land. Kudos to Fatima. What a great sister she is!
Aasiyat performed her hajj successfully without any hitch and returned from Mecca a very happy Muslim. She was all smiles when I visited her. She held a ceremony, thanking God for that. The Muslim community of Omuaran continued to support her especially when she fell sick lately. When we spoke las ftt Monday, Saad told me she has recovered from a severe sickness. This morning, he told me that she relapsed and taken to a hospital in Ibadan, where she died last night. The most interesting part was that she was blessed with the Kalimah as her last word. Mashaallah!
And so was the end, here, for her. I salute her resolve to live by her conviction as I saluted the Boko Haram abducted girl—Liya Sharibu—who refused to convert to Islam as demanded by her captors. Aasiyat and the two cowives that died before her chose to remain Muslim. That is the power of conviction. She would have succumbed to the pressure from her two sons—surely the dearest to her heart—both of whom are now pastors, converted to Christianity by Bishop Oyedepo. No. She chose God over man and the Hereafter over the temporary glitters of this world. She died committed to her choice, a symbol of faith and conviction.
Sister Aasiyat Bello Oyedepo, the Princess of Islam, will be buried tomorrow afternoon in her native town of Omuaran. Our sincere condolences go to the Muslim community of Omuaran and Kwara State in general, to all those who anchored her in faith, including Bello and Sister Fatima. Our condolences also to the Oyedepos, including the Bishop David. May he soon revert to Hasan before he leaves the glitters of this world behind. Amin yaa Rabb! � Nothing is beyond Him.
May the Princess of the Faithful, Aasiyat, meet in Heaven the symbols of faith—her namesake and Virgin Mary—where they will together dwell in the gardens and rivers which their Lord promised the righteous:
“Lo! The righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers. Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King.” (54:54-55)
