I pity this Mike Ozekhome and his lack of integrity. How has the Nigerian Bar falling so bad that criminals are the set of people holding the titles cherished by the Fatai Williams of blessed memory ? How can Ozekhome, Oby Wali, and their likes be called Senior Advocates -these and others in their camp are criminals.

Sometimes I wonder why Ozekhome a product of Gani Fawehinmi would swear to perpetrate corruption on Nigerians. Take a look at the dossier of cases he handles and his person and intentions will be manifest to all. He was the lawyer for keny Martins; the man that was accused of stealing 50 billion naira police equipment funds. He represented Goodluck Jonathan when Sanusi Lamido was suspended from CBN for exposing corruption. He is the counsel to Faruq Lawal who was accused of collecting bribe by Otedola.He went to court to seek for GMB disqualification on the ground that GMB was not qualified. And many other cases aimed at strengthening corruption. Someone should call Ozakhome to order

Lovely. I say AMEN to your prayer but not when you are praying to allah.

U are an ignorant fool. What name do Christian Arabs call God.

Why do they keep reporting these people as Nigerians. Why not south African police beat a Biafran to death. Or 2 Biafrans were executed for drugs in Malaysia. Or 5 Biafrans beheaded in Saudi Arabia for drug related offences

Karlman:
NO HAUSA FULANI MAN WILL DO WHAT AMAECHI DID.

BUT THEY'RE ALL PRAISING HIM BECAUSE THEY USED HIM TO GET WHAT THEY WANT


PLS FORGET UR ONE NIGERIA TRASH THAT ONLY COMES UP WHEN THE NORTH IS THE ONE BEING FAVOURED

You lied. Murtala Nyako led Adamawa State PDP to vote against Atiku in the 2011 PDP primaries in support of Jonathan. He even went as far as standing by the polling bootht to make sure everyone of his state delegates voted for Goodluck, he raised his ballot paper up to declare his support for Goodluck. Same with Sule Lamido, Isa Yuguda and co. What u fail to see is that GEJ is the CHIEF BETRAYER. He betrayed everyone who trusted him including Amaechi.

Nice move

SSS abi na DSS under itayoung were shamele$$ and incompetent. Everything under GEJ was a write off from NNPC to DSS to the Army, police and others. GEJ is a virus that destroys competence

Charity does not begin abroad

Buhari may not have done anything consciously to bring about this improvement in power supply. But the fact that GEJ's kinsmen are no longer guiding gas line and pipe line means a lot. No more sabotaging of gas meant for electricity. Poor men don't ha e the facility to sabotage gas mean for generating electricity. Only the rich and the well connected can do that. Everyone is respecting himself, Buhari is a no nonsense man.

2. Do we know that shortage in electricity is directly proportional to high sales of petrol or pms. Yes this cabals maybe behind the sabotage. Where u previously spend 5,000 thousand naira for fuel per week per household maybe we now spend like say 1k per week. So in all GEJ was a bad market. Thank God we got rid of him sharply

“O Mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam) and from Him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women.” (Quran 4:1)

The realisation that all mtDNA lineages (Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas) can be traced back to a single origin is popularly called the “mitochondrial Eve” theory. According to top scientists and cutting-edge research, everyone on the planet today can trace a specific part of his or her genetic heritage back to one woman through a unique part of our genetic makeup, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The mtDNA of “mitochondrial Eve” has been passed down through the centuries from mother to daughter (men are carriers, but don’t pass it on) and exists within all people living today. It is popularly known as the Eve theory because, as can be deduced from the above, it is passed down through the X chromosome. Scientists are also studying DNA from the Y chromosome (perhaps to be dubbed the “Adam theory”), which is passed only from father to son and is not recombined with the mother’s genes.

These are but three of the many wonders of creation God suggests we contemplate through his verses in the Quran. The entire universe, which was created by God, follows and obeys His laws. Therefore Muslims are encouraged to seek knowledge, explore the universe, and find the “Signs of God” in His creation.

The Story of Adam (part 4 of 5): Life on Earth



Description: Adam, his children, the first murder and his death.
By Aisha Stacey (© 2008 IslamReligion.com)
Published on 07 Apr 2008 - Last modified on 13 Mar 2013



Adam and Eve left Paradise and began their life on earth. God had prepared them in many ways. He gave them the experience of struggling against the whisperings and schemes of Satan. He taught Adam the names of everything and instructed him in its properties and usefulness. Adam took up his position as caretaker of the earth and Prophet of God.

Adam, the first Prophet of God was responsible for teaching his wife and offspring how to worship God and seek His forgiveness. Adam established the laws of God and set about trying to support his family and learning to subdue and care for the earth. His task was to perpetuate, cultivate, construct and populate; he was to raise children who would live according to God’s instructions and care for and improve the earth.

Adam’s First Four Children

Adam and Eve’s first children, Cain and his sister, were twins,; Abel and his sister, another set of twins, soon followed. Adam and his family lived in peace and harmony. Cain ploughed the earth while Abel raised livestock. Time passed and the occasion came for the sons of Adam to marry. A group of the companions of Prophet Muhammad including Ibn Abbas and Ibn Masud related that inter-marriage of the male of one pregnancy with the female of another had been the practice among Adam’s children. Therefore we know that God’s plan to fill the earth included each of Adam’s sons marrying the twin sister of the other.

It seems that beauty has played a part in the attraction of men and women since the beginning. Cain was not pleased with the partner chosen for him. Cain began to envy his brother and refused to obey the command of his father and, in doing so, he disobeyed God. God created man with both good and bad tendencies, and the struggle to over come our baser instincts is part of His test for us.

God commanded that each son was to offer a sacrifice. His judgement would favour the son whose offer was the most acceptable. Cain offered his worst grain, but Abel offered his best livestock. God accepted Abel’s sacrifice, so Cain became enraged, threatening to kill his brother.

“And (O Muhammad) recite to them (the Jews) the story of the two sons of Adam (Abel and Cain) in truth; when each offered a sacrifice to God, it was accepted from the one but not from the other. The latter said to the former; ‘I will surely kill you.’” (Quran 5:27)

Abel advised his brother that God would accept good deeds from those that fear and serve Him, but reject the good deeds of those who are arrogant, selfish and disobedient towards God.

“The former said: ‘Verily God accepts only from those who are pious. If you do stretch your hand against me to kill me I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear God; the Lord of mankind, jinn, and all that exists.’” (Quran 5:27-28)

The First Murder

“So the self (base desires) of the other (latter one) encouraged him and made fair seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and became one of the losers.” (Quran 5:30)

Prophet Muhammad informed us that Cain became angry and hit his brother over the head with a piece of iron. It was also said in another narration that Cain hit Abel over the head while he was sleeping.

“God sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother. He (the murderer) said: ‘Woe to me!

Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?’ Then he became one of those who regretted.” (Quran 5:31)

Adam was devastated; he had lost both his first and second born sons. One had been murdered; the other was won over by mankind’s greatest enemy – Satan. Patiently, Adam prayed for his son, and continued to care for the earth. He taught his many children and grandchildren about God. He told them of his own encounter with Satan and advised them to beware of Satan’s tricks and schemes. Years and years passed, and Adam grew old and his children spread out across the earth.

Adam’s Death

All of mankind are the children of Adam. In one narration, the Prophet Muhammad informed us that God showed Adam his descendants. Adam saw a beautiful light in Prophet David’s eyes and loved him, so he turned to God and said: “Oh God. Give him forty years from my life.” God granted Adam his request, and it was written down and sealed.

Adam’s life span was supposed to be 1000 years but after 960 years the Angel of death came to Adam. Adam was surprised and said “but I still have 40 years to live”. The angel of death reminded him of his gift of 40 years to his beloved descendant Prophet David, but Adam denied it. Many, many years later, the last Prophet Muhammad said: “Adam denied so the children of Adam deny, Adam forgot and his children forget; Adam made mistakes and his children make mistakes.” (At-Tirmidhi)

In Arabic the word for mankind is insan and it comes from the root word nisyan to forget. This is part of human nature, mankind forgets, and when we forget we deny and reject. Adam forgot (he was not lying), and God forgave him. Adam then submitted to the will of God and died. The Angels descended and washed the body of Prophet Adam an odd number of times; they dug the grave and buried the body of the father of mankind, Adam.

Adam’s successor

Before his death Adam reminded his children that God would never leave them alone or without guidance. He told them God would send other Prophets with unique names, traits and miracles, but they would all call to the same thing – the worship of the One True God. Adam appointed as his successor his son

Very unIslamic. The Hypocrisy here is that Saraki is eating with his left hand which is highly unIslmic. If he do care about Islam and the honour of Ramadan he would use his right hand

So this men just sold their lives to the devil

Coldfeet:
Are you new on nairaland? Check the Islamic section where everbody have to accept Islam before making a post there! Isn't that swearing of oath?

Well this particular post made front page. Not that I went searching in Christianity section

Coldfeet:
Alhamdulilah indeed that you don't have to swear to accept Christianity before you post on a Christian topic. Halleluia I have and give freedom to all to make and say what they like about me as a Christian.

I don't know what brought swearing here. You could easily have read my post and waka pass but you lack the freedom to do that. Shalom go in peace

Alhamdulillah I am a Muslim.
هو الذي ارسل رسوله بالهدي ودين الحق ليظهره علي الدين كله و كفي بالله شهيدا

It is He who has sent his Apostle with the guidance and the true faith, so that He may exalt it over every other creed. God is sufficient as a witness.
Quran 48:28

Na wa sha

that good, hope the clueless one did not forget his fedora hat anywhere around the vila

That a welcome development

That the face of a true democrat. All those traducing Buhari's name will soon realise how foolish they were.

Na WA sha. Keep decamping
