Where is it that Trump supporters are not tolerant? The most intolerant set of people i've ever experienced. That's pathetic

blacknoir:
Don't mind them very soon they will stream their sermon using 5g

nagalee:
thou shall not speak against the Lord’s anointed

What's the criteria for identifying the anointed? Who told you am not anointed?

We should stopped allowing ourselves to be fooled

Good, it is much expected, I can't wait to use 5G network. Any conspiracy theorist can go hug transformer, useless people. What's the use of your going to school?

Pastor arguing against science, what does he know? He should keep to his pastoral work and let scientists face science.

This is the same way the church have prosecuted, kill and burn alive early scientists and philosophers.

I've read several of the so called evidences and I've read clarification of what actually happened, So if it is said there's no evidence, there's no concrete evidence to back his claims. The more reason Republican leaders are withdrawing their supports and presidential aides tendering their resignation.

Some of those law suits have been stroke out in state courts, even states controlled by Republican. So they're all dead on arrival.

I've been waiting to read about the filing of law suits all day long.

Anyway, as everyone has said including Republican leaders like Bush Jr, there are no evidences to back his claims, so they're all dead on arrival.

What's the use of planning campaign like rally for court hearing? Is it intended to intimidate judges or what? Abi to transfer more coronavirus as his campaign has always been doing.

Anyway, let's wait and see how far it goes.

People don't want to see this.
They just want to believe what they want to believe.
The Trump who they hold so dear, and call holy also supports LGBT and doesn't give a shit about Africans.
Clowns will always live in self denial.
What does the Nairaland celebrity, Righteousness89 have to say about this?

Righteousness89 is blind at the moment, when you change the topic, the pastor's eyes will be restored

This is interesting, this is the man xtian fanatics are painting to us as anti-christ, isn't it the mission of christ to set free the oppressed people?

Then I'll like to hear your definition of christ like. Let's compare the values Biden embodies and to the values Trump embodies and analyse which is closer to christ.

I'm already getting to understand that all those "over claiming busy bodies coming up with unsubstantiated conspiracy theories" are liars and hypocrites.

What do you expect? Despite the cold economic war going on between china and US, china is winning, besides, the power struggle between china, US and Russia would mean that china would prefer a president who'll destroy the country from within. Same strategy the US have always adopted.

Osinbajo has requisite knowledge and understanding of how things should run. He demonstrated that as acting president, during his reign as Acting President, it looked like there was no opposition in the country because the opposition could not hold onto any issue to criticise about as he was attending to issues intelligently and logically.

He solved the agitation of MEND without using the military, he solved the then rising problems of Fuel Scarcity/Subsidy removal, he put civil servants on their toes, Ministers began acting intelligently, infact there was a FEC meeting which held for nine hours (NINE GOOD HOURS), that is because the issues been deliberately upon has not been resolved which must be conclusively resolved before any minister leaves the FEC meeting.

And many more other issues, he understands the challenges of the youths, and know clearly how to make the youths achieve their dreams. He has never been accused of tribalistic tendencies from any quarter.

leadership is a gift/ quality which it's owner must carefully and diligently develop over time in order to make a visible impact on the society but here in Africa the story is different as rogues are the ones occupying major political offices while the real leaders are pushed into the corner, imagine when a sitting governor himself does not have the quality of a true leader how will he be able to appoint the right people into his cabinet.

You're very correct, like i said earlier, we are looking for ways to weed out the unfits who will eventually appoint more unfits, here we are already appointing BBN candidates, what value do we expect from such?

azawuoba:
so what has the likes of Sagay, Osinbajo, Dr Ngige who have in depth knowledge done to better the lives of common people?

The more reason we are where we are now is that the calibre of the majority in the leadership position, majority of them do not have the requisite knowledge, discipline and focus required, we want to weed those not fit out, not to add more unfit.

Obviously we don't want entertainers so also we don't want non-entertainers who lack required qualities.

Hope that answers your curiosity.

azawuoba:
are they not people too?


so it's only thieves (politicians) that should always get appointments abi?

They're people, different people are qualified for different positions. Leadership positions required in-depth knowledge, discipline and focus. These positions are not for entertainers without these qualities. Putting them in such positions means we're not ready to move forward.

Hope the militarization of the streets will bring back sanity in the country. This is long over due as the police felt abandoned and deserted their duty posts

articleme:
hmmm

Donald Trump is a threat to humanity. He brought out beast in Americans as can be seen among his supporters all over

This committee was set up when? If I'm correct, FG hasn't set up any committee of recent, that means the reports has been lying fallow for a very long time not submitted and nothing done. When the youth got to the streets was when they remembered there's a committee and there's a report of that committee.

These people are bunch of clowns, meaning if the protests had ended this report wouldn't have seen the light of the day.

Nonetheless, as others have rightly said, only 35 officers? This is another joke. This people still think we're joking.

U tried, keep it up

You wicked ooo, wetin the guy do you na?

Queenlovely:
in statistics I learnt something called frequency of occurrence. you get the drift abi

And the frequency of occurrence of crimes in the US have always gone according to your thoughts right?

All the mass shootings, murder, and other crimes have been the way your perverted mind tells you huh.

Keep it up and not learn to identify criminals roaming around but instead go after some people because they don't share same religious beliefs as yours.

Queenlovely:
before I opened the thread I knew it must be a black guy.

white get sense small

see, he looks like Osama brother

Thankfully the name didn't sound close to your perverted thought, rather it sounds close to your own name of johns, peters etc. What's the name again? Austin Stevens . Get it clear in your empty skull that crimes is not a mono directional, it's been perpetrated by all, irrespective of religion, gender or race. Crime is crime and criminal is criminal, not a religion or race.

Hmmmmmm, that is serious

How's an average northerner a standard for Islam? Anyone can decide to observe five daily prayers - yes, it's a must for Muslims, but Islam itself is a meant to promote a unique total way of life. Most of the ills I mentioned earlier are norms in Northern Nigeria. You can deny it as much as you want to, or even try to play them down, but they are facts and are not in sync with Islamic tenets. Most of the hatred for Islam are based on the perception of Islamic practice up north. The larger percentage of Northern Muslims do not make Islam attractive to non-believers due to their archaic, conservative ways. If praying five times daily and believing in the Holy prophet do not make you a better person all round, then you can't lay claim to being a true Muslim. Islam can be practiced without necessarily being close-minded to societal standards.

Brother you never touched all the points i raised, you only picked up the Daily Prayers, and you never dispute the fact that an average Northerner doesn't play with this unlike their Yoruba counterpart. Which means u agree with me on that. Ok look at the sayings of the prophet which say "The difference between a muslim and a Kaafir is Salat" and another which says "The first thing to be check on the day of Judgement is Salat", and other one which says "Salat is a pillar of the Deen, whoever leaves it has left the Deen"


Bring stronger points to tackle me with, If you're blind to it, i'm re-writing it again, i'm not absolving the North of their excesses and deficiencies which they have which in moral and other aspects of societal values, One topic at a time. This is to the Yoruba Muslim folks!

drlateef:
You must be out of your senses.

Dr Lateef, e touch you? small abi big? Let me hear where you belong

Misterdhee1:
Trash. Almost every single act up north does not comform with Islamic tenets. Hatred for education, laziness, al-majiri, violence, rape, lack of regard to human lives, non-tolerance to opposite religious views, disrespect to female folks, poverty, drug abuse and many more. And mind you, God (Allah) has always been a factor in Yorubaland even before the advent of Islam and Christianity, so you can't possibly expect Yorubas to blindly practice religion with the kind of conservatism you guys show up there.. Perhaps that explains the huge difference in growth and development between the two regions.

How is there hatred for education in the north? There have been learned scholars of northern extraction, and there are countless of them from time immemorial, lazines, how do you define laziness? From my little experience, farming is one of the hardess job out there, and the highest participation in farming is from the north, Al - Majiri has been a tradition that has produced some the finest models in the north, i'll agree it doesn't fit into the present generation, it has to either be abolished or reformed. No doubt about that. Non-tolerance to opposite religious view, is relative, because i've seen many christian denominations that have been in existence for over five decades, Poverty is every where, Drug abuse is also everywhere.

Anyway, all these are not enough to say an average Northern muslim doesn't adhere more to Islam unlike the Yoruba counterpart. Check out these points. Like i've said earlier, i'm not absolving them from all kind of attrocities going on there. If you take closer look, you'll find that those attrocities exist everywhere.

1) As muslims, five daily prayers comes first. In the north, majority observe their five daily prayers, in the south, it's only the committed ones. Infact you can count many of the so called yoruba muslims where you'll never seen going to pray.
2) Absolute Believe in Allah, not associating partners with Him. In the North, it comes easy. In the Yoruba circles, Majority of Yoruba Muslims believe more in their jazz/voodoo than they have faith in Allah
3) Majority of these Popular pastors come from Muslim background, If the average Yoruba Muslim understands and stick to his Islam, it wouldn't be that way. Infact, at a simple life challenge, he converts to christianity expecting Jesus to solve his problems rather than understanding the nature of his problems and sticking to Allah no matter his challenges

I can continue but these three points is enough to start with, Societal evils exist every where, it could be more in the north on some cases no doubt.

Both the Northern Muslims and Yoruba Muslims need to be chastised towards sticking to Islam. The focus of today is to the Yoruba Muslim who has eschew everything about Islam from his life except his muslim name and still want to be viewed as the Standard for Islam. No way!

tamdun:
Apologies, but why did you call them yoruba muslim? Why not hausa Muslim or Fulani Muslim
Wetin b the meaning of Yoruba Muslim?

Thank you, i like your question because it's devoid of sentiment but Basically clarification

Having said that, there's no perfection anywhere but there are situation that you can identify where some things are far from what it claims to be.

Hausa Muslims portray clear semblance to Islam most times, that does not absolve them from several misdoings as we all know it today.

On the contrast, Majority of the so called yoruba Muslims are just Muslim by name and no further semblance to Islam.

His thoughts and acts he conforms to the norm set outside islam. He wants to be seen as a conformist even when its obvious these are values inimical to his Islam. That's the reason the highest number of those involved in ritual activities are these set of people. When he marries, most especially when he marries non muslim, he drops his Islam just to please his non muslim spouse. And most times, he converts to Christianity mainly to please his associates.

These set of people when they misbehave, then people shout Yoruba Muslim, and most times they are to appointed to represent the generality of muslims in political affairs thereby endangering the welfare and rights of the muslim community.

Hope you understand the danger s they portend to us.

cocolacec:
What will you say about Arabs and Afghans who dont pray or fast during Ramadan?
I know many of them who drink and womanize.

You're very correct, there are many of such, but they themselves know they do not represent the general muslim overview the more reason they're not comfortable publicly with such attitudes.

Besides there's difference between someone doing wrong and acknowledges its wrong, against one who doesn't even know.

code77:
Shut up my friend. If only u guys, up there in the North & your folks d world over could practice your religion like your Yoruba brothers do; I doubt d world will be in it's present mess.
Dat title " Religion of Peace" should be reserved only for d Yorubas. Because, they are truly d only one projecting a Good Image for you guys.

Olodo, what type of Islam is UAE (Dubai) practicing that you're all ready to run to, what about Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia your people are rushing to. These are country that are genuine with their islam, know what they're doing and keep to the standard.

Your hatred will only make you see the negative examples and not the positive ones.

tamdun:
Igbo people are cancer to every community, u will sha mess up things for other hard working Nigerian ni, Igbo people started this bullish and when we call u flatthead, the stupid mods will change it to igbo, make una continue, una cup go soon full

For your quacked reasoning, I'm a muslim and I'm Yoruba as well. But kindly do me a favour, don't add me up to that list of Yorubas who are tools in hands of anti Islamic tendencies. They know next to nothing about the pristine Islam and they're always claiming to be Muslims.

So I'm neither Ibo nor wish to be one. Thanks!

You see all of you Yoruba Muslim who are just Muslim by name and understands next to nothing about ISLAM, do you now see how you're disgrace to ISLAM and yourself?

Look at the way she has described you, it better you kuku leave the fold and let's know clearly where you belong.

flyingpig:
TREASON

And he could claim he was only defending himself. Since it's obvious the President was the who attacked him.

flyingpig:
moomoo like you. The so called minister deserves far worse than that. Stealing money in a dire pandemic time means such person can commit mass suicide.

So there are no laid channels to properly prosecute such a person, abi what's wrong with following such channel, what's wrong with the president sacking him?

I hate the type of mentality people like you have, dirty type of thinking. Assuming the said minister has more muscle than him and punches him to stupor, what would you say?
