J12: I have been fasting for more than three months now.

I never heard that the prophet(peace be upon him) fasted for so long.

You spoke my mind.

The present Olojoku of Ojoku also used the same thing to become king. Maybe one day they will sack him too

Eyin Omo olofa mo jo, wetin una get to talk about this one?

Next will be Ojoku... my uncle supposed to be the king of that town

Oba Gbadamosi: Sacked by Appeal Court

The Appeal Court sitting in Ilorin, in the central Nigerian state of Kwara on Tuesday 9 July nullified the appointment and installation of Alhaji Mufutau Gbadamosi as Olofa of Offa, while also restraining him from parading himself as the traditional ruler of the community forthwith.

In the lead judgment delivered by Justice Hussein Muhktar, the appellate court held that the evidence before it clearly showed that the ascension to the stool of Olofa of Offa is by rotation between the Olugbense ruling house, who are the appellants and the Anilelerin ruling house, the respondents.

To the court, rotation principle in the town was established in 1969 when the late Oba Keji from the Olugbense ruling house agreed to step down from throne and allowed the ascension of Late Oba Mustapha Olawoore from the Anilelerin ruling house, to allow peace to reign in Offa. This, the court said, was after the intervention of the state government.

Setting aside the decision of the High Court sitting in Offa delivered on 19 July 2012 by Justice S.M Akanbi which upheld the appointment and installation of Alhaji Mufutau Gbadamosi as the Olofa of Offa, the appellate court granted all the reliefs of the appellants and nullified Oba Gbadamosi’s appointment and installation.

The court ordered Gbadamosi to stop parading himself as the Olofa of Offa, while also ordering the state government to immediately install Prince Abdulrauf Adegboyega Keji, who is from Olugbense ruling house as the new Olofa of Offa.

Counsel to the Olugbense ruling house, John Baiyeshea, SAN, had approached the Court of Appeal to protest the judgment delivered by the High Court that the ascension to the stool of the Olofa of Offa is not rotational but by competition between the two ruling houses, a position used by government to instal Gbadamosi as the Olofa.

Some of the prayers of the Olugbense ruling house which the Court of Appeal granted are:

. That the ascension to the stool of Offa of Olofa between the two ruling houses is rotational,

.That the Anilelerin ruling house having produced the immediate past Olofa of Offa who ruled for over forty years, must give way to the Olugbense ruling house in law and/or equity to produce the next Olofa of Offa on the basis of rotation,

.That the recognition of the incumbent Olofa of Offa by the state government “is illogical, wrongful, unlawful, null and void and of no effect whatsoever”.

The Court therefore upheld the appeal of the Olugbense ruling house and granted an order of perpetual injunction restraining Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi from parading himself as the Olofa of Offa.

kunleee: pls translate the verse for me.i dont ve english or yoruba Qoran. Jazaka lahu ayran

Although it is similar but might not be directly applicable here. The translation goes thus;

And they will say, "Our Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and our dignitaries, and they led us astray from the [right] way.
33:67
Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them with a great curse."
33:68

PEN_MIGHT: Yes! My brother. Infact,this is the time to do complete Hijrah to Nigeria.

For me, my stomach can survive in Denmark. 22 what?

You are very funny

kunleee: absolutely true,infact our chief imam(central mosque) ve been announcing b4 d last jumat tht ramadhan is on tuesday. I dont knw what they are on to,jst misleading followers cus they r d leaders in our local communities and we are directed to follow them.
If was a sin to fast wt ramadhan niyat 2dy,they bear the sin cus i cant break it again.its almost 7pm.
Ramadhan mubarak.

Quran 33:67 -68 comes to my mind here. You can still break it, bro

^ I learnt that Denmark will be fasting for about 22 hours per day just like they did last year. Which means they have two hours for mogrib, iftar, ishai, taraweeh, tahjud and sahur. Hehehe should they also apply for tourist visa too?

May Allah make it easy for all of us

This makes me sad every year.
Why will some people decide a day to start their own fasting a week earlier just because they don't want to feel inferior/subjected (pardon my use of words) to others in the same country? Even if they don't want to unite with the North, why can't they also make effort to look out for the moon?

I don't think anything we discuss here on the internet will have impact really considering the steps that have been taken so far. One thing I want to remind us is that “Whoever fasts the day of doubt has disobeyed Abû al-Qâsim (Muhammad,peace be upon him)” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî]

May Allah forgive us all

Ramadan Kareem

@texanomaly you get time no be small. But majority of what you posted up there are till...

big-t:
Petty inventions built on men's inventions!

texanomaly:
Women were prohibited from doing many things until well into the last century. What do you expect?

You could still come up with something to show that women can do better

big-t:

then they shld stop sayin ''what a man can do, a woman can do better'' they should rather say ''what a man is doing, a woman can support''

Just wait... They will add sexist to your name

thegoodjoehunt:

The President can cut government funding.

You right. But do you think the president will do that? Nah
I listened to the president's mid-term report (abi wetin dey call am self) and SE AFCON win is among his achievements. He wont have that privilege if he cuts funding.
Btw SE doesn't need FG fund if NFF do their home work well

Rossikk: MAIGARI MUST GO.

I so detest that man. His own is just to ruin Keshi. That is his ambition. He started that bonus crisis, refusing to play the players their dues, just to spite Keshi and reduce the players' commitment. Now he has come with this GARBAGE.

WHEN WILL PRESIDENT JONATHAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIRE THIS INCOMPETENT, SPITEFUL MAN CALLED MAIGARI?

The president CANNOT sack him, unless you want fifa to come in

SuyaEater: I have a feeling the the flying eagles will avenge the super eagles loss against uruguay and spain....

Jarus:

Was liverpool/Athletico Madrd greater than Arsenal/Man U?

You can't compare a player playing in a Liverpool team that's doing great in CL to an Arsenal team that didn't win a trophy for years. Also few of us in Nigeria that watch La liga knew Toress before he went to Liverpool.

Jarus:
Current form, maybe. But all-time, nah.

current form maybe? Ha bros talk true nah

bestower: Abegi ! old trick.

You don vex?

Both Torres and VP are fantastic players but right now, Torres is not in VP class

Jarus:

Which year?

When even at his peak last year, he didn't make Top 3 like Torres did at hiw own peak.

The club he played for last year caused him the slot plus there was no vacancy

Adufaye: okay! Let's watch nd see if robin won't b nominated

Abeg for which award and in what year? Definitely not this year

joseph1013:
[s]With a dumb comment like this, thegoodjoehunt, I say you're wasting your time arguing with these guys. They have a serious hatred for Mikel and they wont budge no matter how hard you try.

I mean, for a person to say that the reason Nigerian strikers didnt score was because there was not enough passes. Some people are very idiotic. Mtschew[/s]

Bros, calm down now. Oya take a deep breath and drink some water

You don't have to take it personal. We are just here to catch fun. Because you don't agree with his opinion doesn't make him what you called him. Nobody hates Mikel. I think you should apologize

Shack_Attack: He had an outstanding performance at the Confederation cup and the Nations cup as well but with regards to his foriegn club Chelsea where he plys his trade, he shows little or no effort.
He will clinch the African Footballer of the year, IF, he improves at club level.

I like the bolded part, although a lot of people fail to agree with it
