It's called nepotism. It is not only in Africa, it is practiced everywhere around the globe. you and I also engage in it in our Jones, religious places or place of work.

jazakumllahu khairan for this insightful post. we need more of this to serve as remembrance to Muslim brethren. The moral decadent in the society had made most of us see it as a norm. Had it been that this fatwahs are adhered, the society would have been better off.

immortalvoices:
Can we please quit the name checking stuff for once it's getting stale...

Those who engaged in this disgusting stuff are no better than Russian hooligans

Are no different from the northern terrorist

And to think that among them are fathers and mothers

Smh focus your mind on things ahead not getting the little satisfaction of being a nairaland warrior

I was Born in the West, schooled in the east and served in North.. I CELEBRATE NIGERIA NOT TRIBE

God bless you for this post. I was so sick reading the comments until I stumble on urs. I just weep for my country. we no longer comment on topics anymore but choose to check names. what difference does it make if it was a Adamu, Emeka or Adewale. it is never mandatory for you to comment, it will be better to just read on if we have nothing tangible to contribute.

@Op, firstly no source. secondly, how old do you think post ume is?.
for ur info, post ume started gaining ground only in 2006. so tell me how Universities had been admitting student before then.
Stop misleading people

Explorers:
16. Upon dying, some pharaohs were sealed into their tombsaloungside their living servants, pets, and concubines.

So Abobaku issue no be now.

WithX:
it is so evident that most of us could not even remember the compound name of some household item. We easily go with the monopolized name (or should call it goodwill name)
1. SEASONING CUBE; did I hear someone says Maggi already? this still exist till date. You hear mum says Junior go buy maggi for me, and Junior will ask mum which type? is it knorr or maggi gangan?
pls there are more than hundred brands of seasoning out there, next time u need one just say the brand name.

2. NOODLES;
indomie generation will relate more with this. Aboki give me indomie we all say not minding which brand he prepares. Dufil had successful brainwashed all of us to forget the other brands exist, there "mama do good o" advert really got me.
Ask Junior what he will eat and he will tell you, uncle I want indomie but it should be chikki.

3. DETERGENT; ->Omo, though this is quite loosing it. Unilever have mellowed down on the advert of this product and its fast loosing its goodwill but that not withstanding, some of us still call out omo even if we want to buy another brand of detergent.
4. TOOTHPASTE; the good old days when Maxam, MacLean and Dent'o clean rules the toothpaste world is over it is closeup that is strategically taking the Barton from Maclean who rules the industry in the 80's. Though there is a tight battle for supremacy here, you see a man of the 80's saying 'give me Maclean but its pepsodent that I want'
Likewise you see a kid of the late 90's saying I want to buy closeup even if he wants Colgate. But with the way things are going its just a matter of time before either pepsodent or Colgate takes over.

So true op. Ur post just remind mr of a verbal reasoning exercise assignment given to one of my nephew some years ago. They are to choose the option that represent others and the options are
A. Honey well B. Noodles. C. Indomie. D. Chikki
Do u know what the dude chose? Ur guess is as good as mine, he chose option C with pride. interestingly, some agbaya around could not spot the error in his answer

Vinshu:
You see, culture itself is illiterate. Who created the culture? Illiterate ancient perverted men in the 16th Century way back. How would full grown adults who will call them selves virtuous women strip half unclad in the name of culture? In 2016?

It's a primitive shallow minded person that does that. It's one thing to know 1 + 1 = 2 it's another thing to know when you apply 1 + 1 = 2. Wisdom is not the same as knowledge.

They may have knowledge with their Bsc and PhD but lack wisdom. An illiterate lacks wisdom.

So again it's illiteracy

Illiteracy you say? then going by ur assertion, all living human are illiterate. What baffles me in your assertion is that if it was Beyonce or a celeb that is putting on a see through top u will call that civilization right?. The last AMVCC award that saw an exodus of cleavage revealing girls, they were not illiterate right?. Culture my friend is a way of life and it is based on the common believe and resolution among inhabitant. The way americans or British dresses or behave is their culture. Please try to respect the culture of others.

SO to you those names u called it were fake not until one oyinbo wey no no the root of the fruit call am one stupid name wey u go ned to twist ur tongue be4 u fit call am na him you go believe say na the original name be that. ok o no problem

Make dem go there now

Those calling for Buhari's intervÉntion have their own skeleton. Saraki should respond to the offence. His sins has found him out.


Those alleging 'witch-hunt' should table that before the judge!

#PowerToThePeople

For a very long time i must say, u av for once put ur sentiment aside. If this is how u have been going about ur opposition sting some of us sitting on d fence could av had reasons to take ur post serious.
Let us all put our political, religious, or ethnic sentiments apart and demand good governance from whoever is leading us. not until then will we have the country of our dream.
Some call d SP travail witch hunting but I believe if others had been witch hunted like this in d past Nigeria will have been better for it.
all I pray for nw is DT dis case get to a logical conclusion. cos with dt , lot and lot of books with similar title will be opened.

Why are people being xenophobic and insulting the Indians? What stops Nigerians from owing their own companies and getting contract from MTN, AIRTEL? What stops Nigerians from patronizing GLO a Nigerian company.

We cannot eat our cake and have it.

nobody is being homophobic here, unles u want to tell me fighting for ur right amount to being xenophobic. She is complaining about the harsh work condition. We all know employers try to exploits but when it is done in an inhumane or uncivilized way it is slavery. Mind u, Nigerians have numerous outsourcing companies and interestingly Mctay was one of such but MTN terminated their contract to give way for the Indian firm just because dy want to reduce cost. Lastly pls be honest can any nigerian firm go to indian and treat its staffs down there as indians treat their staffs here?

The hadeeth you quoted even faults your position rather than support it. Mu'adh said he will resort to ijtihad ONLY AFTER there is no solution in the book of Allaah and in the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW). In this case of zakatul fitr, the sunnah has already made things clear, and that knocks off the need for formulating judgement based on ijtihaad.

I truly appreciate ur consistency but realistically how do u think i will feel or how happy will i be with my family if all we could get as zakat ul fitri is four modus of millet? Kindly answer objectively.
With that act the donor has fulfil his obligations and but was the purpose of intent meet?

Brother, bear in mind that there was money during the time of the Prophet. And there were companions who had problems that only money could solve, but yet, the Prophet enjoined giving out food for zakah. Lets avoid holding positions that cannot be traced to our model (the Prophet) .

Salam alykun, we are enjoined to give out food items but do not condemn those that see money as a better option in present day nigeria. Remember u shall be judge according to ur intentions.
If we are to be 100% adherence, then we should rule out food like rice because its neva in record dt the Holy Prophet gave out rice as zakat ul fitri. Then it was dates, millet etal dt was used but giving the present day nigeria it is generally agreed that rice is the most common stable food. In addition, dates needs no further processing as it can in addition to other grains back then can easily be converted to cash (why do u think the prophet enjoined us to give out zakat ul fitri before the eid prayer). Knowing the basic idea behind giving out zakat ul fitri, lets put ourselves in the position of the needy, who would u appreciate the more between a man who give u grain of rice (when u have neither kerosine nor stew to cook it with) and someone who give u some amount of money with which u can prepare or buy something to eat.
Mind u the essence of zakat ul fitri is to make the less privilege happy during the festive period.
Allahu allam.

Justify aligns the words very well in microsoft word.
But it can create a big gap between words in a line especially if the words in a line are few..

How do I correct this?
