DUBAI — The United Arab Emirates announced on Saturday a major overhaul of the country's Islamic personal laws, allowing unmarried couples to cohabitate, loosening alcohol restrictions and criminalizing so-called "honor killings."

The broadening of personal freedoms reflects the changing profile of a country that has sought to bill itself as a skyscraper-studded destination for Western tourists and businesses, despite its legal system based on a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

The reforms aim to boost the country's economic and social standing and "consolidate the UAE's principles of tolerance," state-run WAM news agency reported.

The changes also reflect the efforts of the Emirates' rulers to keep pace with a rapidly changing society. In a country where expatriates outnumber citizens nearly nine to one, the amendments will also permit foreigners to avoid Islamic Shariah courts on issues like marriage, divorce and inheritance.


Our brothers from the northern Arewa states MURIC and their hisbah police should learn from the UAE because it's a good development they are not more holy than the UAE even Arab nations had finally agreed on making peace with isreal and accepting Jerusalem as isreal capital northern Nigeria can't continue to dwell in backwardness.

No be tori u dey find so? Are you a northerner?

Yes na

Like I said, the north have accepted its problems while the crime-infested southern region is still living in a fools' paradise. The average inyamuri or Yoruba southerner dies in foreign jails or by foreign bullets, the average child is always contemplating how to kill his parents for money or how to sacrifice his neighbor for rituals. Some of you even eat faeces

Your criminal nature has reached as far as Thailand, where some cops have begun to ask questions about SOUTHERN Nigerians. Check the list of all Nigerians wanted by interpol or FBI. They are all southern criminals. If a full investigation of the income of all southern Nigerians were made, 99% of your criminal population will end up in jail, and that means your region is far worse than the north.

https://nigeriacircle.com/interrogation-video-of-a-nigerian-arrested-for-drugs-in-thailand-will-make-you-cry/

The Thai police officers says that THE IGBOS ARE A CURSE TO AFRICA

If our problems are as big as mount everest, your problems are as big as the universe because in the north, I only have to worry about distinguished criminals but in the south, even my child can end up killing me for money. It happens everyday. All over Africa, NIGERIANS ARE THE MOST HATED PEOPLE because of you money worshippers, anf that's why I don't feel sad when South Africans or even Asians make barbeque with you people. You are a cancer to humanity and the earlier you realize that, the better for you. And yes, southern Nigerians, especially inyamuris, shall continue to suffer in this nation and abroad until they learn to stop being cultists and ritualists.


In other news, Atheism is taking over the western world and Islam is the fastest rising religion in the world. In USA, Muhammad is one of the most used baby names. Let that sink in

Ethnic Bigot!!!!!just look at your blind analysis so in your mind every southerner is a drug pusher,u just talk like an unexposed bush man from the kalahari deserts of Namibia!!!!

Khalesie:
Senegalese coach and former player bossier just got coaching job with Belgian Top side.

Viera of african descent was sacked by Nice

No point here

U don't understand England france Germany are racist towards African coaches even if Messi was from Africa FIFA would have found a way to tame him.
Just take a look a eberechi eze he is very good with the ball he ought to be a striker at Crystal palace but they would never allow him play a striker position

Airlove:


Everyone will respect their self, obey only one voice, worship god in one accord, punish law breakers without mercy, the rich keep getting richer, more children and underage marriage, alcoholic drinks ban in public and saudi Arabia will be the dream land for all

What about Syria and Yemen aren't they dream lands

SmartPolician:
I have never seen more sincere and straightforward people like the northerners. Feel free to call them anything but lazy. Those people are really industrious and energetic.

Just like the rest of us, those guys lack good leaders who will make them understand the importance of Western education.

The day Nigeria's north will have leaders like Zulum and Sanusi spread across the length and breadth of the region, their development will be at the speed of light.

Sometimes, you don't need a lot of money to develop. You just need to judiciously manage the resources at your disposal because you people are committed to development - that's what the Nigeria's north represents.

In a sharp contrast, the Niger Delta region is a good example of a region with so much resources at the hands of the people with little or nothing to show for it. A good example is Bayelsa State. Meet a state that benefits from 13% derivation and has just 9 LGAs, but they cannot pay salaries.

If the people of that Niger Delta region were at least 10% as sincere as the northerners, the region would be miles ahead of other regions by any development yardstick.

Las Las, the northerners go dey okay in an independent country. I once had a lengthy discussion with a friend from Maidugri. The guy told me that the only people who may be scared of restructuring are the corrupt politicians from the north. He maintained that most of their people are farmers and have no idea what oil money is.

Please which region in Nigeria has the highest concentration of beggers(alhmajiris) school age dropouts and radicalism in Nigeria and west africa please?

Ayaaz:


No matter how bad the north gets, it'll never see the kind of devastation that completely made your people bitter by nature i.e Ojukwu's biafra

Honestly, your people need to heal...you guys are all messed up

Pains pains I see pains all over u due to the truth been smashed accross your your face.
The earlier u people wise up and do aways with so traditions that pulls u guys backwards into the stone age the better but until then u guys would always be pained and bitter when u feel the sting of the truth

tyup:


Anonymous cannot do more than what he has done (Exposing him this way)

The truth is we can't do nothing bout it. rants on our mouth and in a day or two more then we forget bout it and find something else to say. Hopefully the nation experience Revolution someday

Until proof is out let keep our fingers crossed

MelesZenawi are u seeing what I am seeing

Airlove:
It will soon come to that, then you will know

How would situation had been in Arewa republic

Let's us all pause and imagine this scenerio
Northern Nigerian states is an independent nation how would the situation in the country had been would they have been better of as an independent country
Share your opinion

Crayfish09:


Is the south forward? Not with all the issues. I dare any of you to say that I am wrong. Your house is on fire but you are trying to save another man's house

Another northerner trying to defend his region already in a state of shit and quagmire .when will you swallow up your arrogance and understand that the north is the most failed region in Nigeria and west Africa and a threat to global peace and security. you people are suffering seriously from a very very very deep and strange form of mental slavery and you don't know it.there is no way you can dare say that the south got more problems than the north.the problem of the north is as big and solid as mount Everest stop hallucinating that the south problems are bigger than the north because that is totally detrimental to the current predicament of the north and the northern region would implode soon from it's complex webs of problems and I boldy say to you,northern Nigeria will continue to suffer for their hypocrisy and wickedness right unto themselves


In other news all Sunni Arab nations had made peace with isreal and accepted Jerusalem as capital of isreal while UAE had legalised beer in their country for all foreigners and Muslims residing there

That's good news

ilevic:
Hi

Obviously you didn't follow this thread from the beginning... When follow the thread, you will see the sarcasm in what what I posted to there.

Ok sorry for the inconvenience it was an accidental discharge

MelesZenawi:


MelesZenawi You said u no get time for quarrel and now you are indirectly doing same.

Soon u go begin shout foul that they want to divide us..


Sharia court must be installed in region with at least 35% must.

please I asked you a question and u have not answered it okay let me ask you again I don't know why you are shying away from a simple question

are you aware that all Sunni Arab nations had made peace with isreal including accepting Jerusalem as the capital of isreal and UAE had legalised beer in the country for Muslims and non Muslims?

ilevic:




Guy I agree with you. The problems of the south is enormous while there very few problems in the north. In fact, the north is the best place to live in Nigeria especially, Maiduguri.

Yahoo boys are rendering people homeless in the south. Cultists are Over running communities in the south. When the sun sets, a man who carries umbrella will feel it's weight.

MelesZenawi:


He is not but right on this one.

States with high Muslim population needs sharia rules

But u have already gotten Sharia courts and hisbah doing their Islamic job deligently which Sharia courts una need again


Have u heard that all Sunni Arab nations has made peace with isreal and the UAE had allowed the sales of beer in the country to everyone including foreigners and Muslims

Ayaaz:


First of all, who sought for your help

Secondly, what can you do about it?

You think rehashing the same bullshit that your kin have attacked us over and over for is you being sensible?

Just like a kid you've made yourself feel good by stating all those 'facts' about the north, now what?

Okay, master, please educate us on how we can change our fortunes, please teach us

You're just a frustrated being who doesn't know what being learned is, doesn't know Northern idiosyncracies, thinks that 'the North' is a metaphor for all things bad and wrong with this country

Shut up and seek knowledge from those who know what to say, not for you to just believe that having an avenue to communicate means that you have valid points

Nigga you got nothing

The north is for northerners, east for easterners, west for westerners, far south for its inhabitants, centre for its inhabitants. Etc

Deal with your issues so that you can channel your efforts and energy where it'll count

Go and learn boy, go and learn

A wise man listen more and speak less but a foolish man speaks more and comprehend less.....

Happy new year fellow nairalanders,
Please I really need help and any meaningful contributions will be appreciated.
I have a brother that's really gifted in football, he's scouted for many selection matches (4) and in all he's told he's done well that they'll get back to him but he's never hear from them again. In short he's going for another selection match in makurdi this coming week.
Pls help if u know anybody or any organization I can recommend him to for help.
Thank u all for ur contributions

Get him into an acaedemy e.g papilo acaedemy,Midas football acaedemy,Pepsi football acaedemy let him make a talent exhibition video and promote it massively on Instagram it might go viral and he mighty be lucky like the Iranian kid who got a deal with Liverpool

I have noticed this over the years,I can't remember seeing an African coaching a primier league serie A, la liga clubs despite the numerous talents Africa had produced e.g sammuel eto,Jay Jay okocha, drogba, essien, kanu etc.
Is there a reason for this or could it be the colour of our African skin?

festacman:


You need a proper coach to asess and tell you if your brother has the critical talent to be professional footballer. In any case, if he is so good as you are saying, he would have represented his primary and schools at competitions and his games masters and team mates would have made him realise his talents even before you noticed.

They don't play football in their school it's private na ajebo school
Oga I've did my best to stimulate since he nor want I nor fit force am again o!!!

festacman:
First, your kid brother doesn't seem to have interest in football so why push him? Look, I have many budding talented footballers around me and one common thing among them even at their tender age is passion. They are passionate to develop their talent and acquire vital skills to succeed as a professional and become rich and famous. So, your brother must NOT play football if he has no passion. Therefore, create time to discuss his interests and talents with him including if he has love to learn a trade.

Second, given that your brother will compete with other budding players who are taller, his height unless if he will still grow taller is a disadvantage. Therefore, he has to be highly skillful and offer unique thing that makes stand out in a team.

Whatever happens don't force him to play football because even many passionate and trully talented footballers fail to realize their dreams let alone somebody who is being pushed.

Wetin dey pain me be say the lad dribbles just like Messi I swear no exerggeration he has that close control of the ball and speed but he doesn't want to use his talent The hardship in naija too much that's y I try to encourage to do sports but he no wan gree imagine a career that u get paid in euros and dollars every week even we when dey huzzle sef e no easy oo

MadamExcellency:
His height may be the problem. But if he is talented more than average, I may help you talk to coach that connected Kelechi Iheanacho and other professional under 16s.

But he must come to Owerri if the coach agrees to take his case.

I would send u a mail privately soon
Thanks

MelesZenawi:


Trash.

You want biafra but you don't want to enroll your brother abia state biafra...

that's hypocrisy...

Enroll him now, ipob have a team in abia.

Nigerian leagues don't pay they owe salary even jigawa and Kano pillars can't pay their players all these are happening under the watch of your brother in also rock my problem is if this lad make a change of mind now I am ready to help help him and even talk other members of the family into supporting his vision and maybe he might get into Europe Denmark noway Sweden England mid and lower tie divisions,convincing him is the problem

But why u carry ipob matter for head it's not good for your head because I didn't remember bringing up ipob issue

MadamExcellency:
His height may be the problem. But if he is talented more than average, I may help you talk to coach that connected Kelechi Iheanacho and other professional under 16s.

But he must come to Owerri if the coach agrees to take his case.

The guy is good a good dribbler following Messi pattern of dribbling caz of his height
But ma, are you a football agent what is your email so that we can discuss more on this
And also we are ibos from imo state

MelesZenawi:




Enrol him in IPOB football league..so he can be playing for nnamdi kanu and other ipob leagues in abia..

Are u better than chukwueze from biafra land ur hate begins and ends here on nairaland

Please I don't have timeand strength for your quarrel today because I have important issues to attend to

Esseite:
Good decision... his number is 6,543,325,743th person..

Back to sender

chatinent:
I don't even understand the species of advice you need.



Abi na insult you want make people yab you? You know how many still dey street?

I mean what better ways can I advise him I mean to stimulate his interest in sports

rtdCivilservant:
Carry am go Europe, bribe Manchester United coach with like 5million dollars so that he go register am for Manchester United men's division one

E easy like that that money loong ooo even if Sunderland,Plymouth Bolton wanderers give this guy trial na better breakthrough oo!!! but on a serious note I think he might be lucky and I can help him through the help of agents get into atleast Sweden Norway dennmark or England mid tier or lower division clubs but the guy is blatantly not interested

Hello Nairalanders,



This is a personal issue but I think I need to bring the attender of everybody to this matter because it's baffling and am confused on how to go about it.







My younger brother who is the last born in our family is 15 year about 5 ft 5 inches tall(approximately) would be 16 by this year.i noticed that he rarely serious with his academics he is not dull though but put up average performance during exams,he even say for this waec and made all his papers but was still average in performance 2 Bsand 6Cs.My mom who he lives with is a lecturer but she isn't satisfied with his performance because he expected him to do better she had complained to me on several occasions but I just keep calming her down that he is still a kid and I sometimes advice him whenever I have chance or visit.







sometimes when I visits, I noticed that he always play alot,after a taking critical look at him,I observed that he would be good in sports an he has quality of a good fooballer.sometimes I do play football with him and I am impressed with his skills.







I tried talking his interests into football to make him love the sport I gave him the best football training videos I found on youtube to help him improve,got him a good ball,sometimes we go to the field to play and practice,but the lad is only interested in playing around not even considering a carrier in football.







I made contacts with top football acaedemies e.g kanu nwankwo international acaedemy/Midas acaedemy,diamond acaedemy the acaedemy that produced chukwueze,I even pledged to fund him as he progresses through the acaedemy and save funds in advance for him so that in case trials in Europe comes up he would go,planned to make a football talent exhibition video for him that would attract the attention of clubs accross Europe and North America after he joins an acaedemy then promote the video massively to make sure it gets millions of views on Instagram and youtube.But alas,the young man seems to enjoy running and playing around but he is never interested in taking up football professionally.











Please what can I do to make him love and take up sports,am I too hard on him or are there any other way to make him consider a carrier in professional football please share your suggestions because I am confused.







Please mods bring this thread to attention of nairalanders
