My view: the op is out to spread hatred and mischief

Ma shaa Allah

This is serious

Can you tell us the number of his predictions that did not come to pass? You talk of no 41 what happened to no. 1 to 40 ?

YOUR LIES ARE INEFFECTIVE! I MUST OPEN THAT YANSH TODAY!!!!

Do you have a problem with comprehension? Apart from the author of this who else is aware of this story. Or are u saying a national issue as big as this will happen and only one person witnessed and recorded it? All the sources you provided led to one person Mr Daggash,
Now do u understand the import of the above?

Trut:
Scannews is another source

Ok, are u saying this issue was witnessed by only the author you quoted?

rickkid:

how can we corroborate this story. I mean which other source can confirm that Buhari voted for Niger against Nigeria apart from your Mr Maxim Uzoatu?

Mekateka:
go and read Lai Muhammad interview on channel TV yesterday. is every where, even on Nairaland

Give me the link to the site so that i can verify, if you are sure of what you posted, unless of course you are hiding something

@op, how did Obj and Ibb became generals without degree and NDA?

Mekateka:
"I think Buhari should be pardoned if he cannot produce his certificates." --- lai Muhammad. Lai Mohammed on channel Tv solicited pardon for General Mohammed Buhari for his inability to present his certificate. Then I ask, is Lai Muhammad not aware of the statement of result tendered by Buhari already. Which mean there is more to this certificate issue than we already know. If an insider like Lai Muhammad could vomited the above statement in public domain, then there is something General Mohammed Buhari is not telling Nigerians.

can you provide the link where he said that

cuteboy2:
[size=18pt]1. Is his first name "Muhammadu" or "Mohamed"?
2. Did Buhari at anytime officially change his name??[/size]

GMB has been referring to himself as "Muhammadu" since his days as Minister of Petroleum under OBJ and later as Head of State.

The testimonial from his secondary school principal in 1961 and the latest Statement of Result all refer to him as "Mohamed".

What is really going on? People are getting more confused with all these conflicting information from Buhari and APC.

Ok, Are u saying that there is another buhari who sat for the same exam, in the same year at the same school? Not only that, he coincidently have the same first name and surname as GMB. Then made available his statement of result to GMB to deceive the public? Is that what you are insinuating?

If that is what you are claiming, can you point out the second Buhari in the Picture of Buhari's classmate above? if you cannot then my advice to you is .....................SHUT UP!

UchihaMadara:
Exactly, why ask for such?

Last I checked, a PHD thesis isn't required to contest for the Presidency and is more of a luxury.

This so called new trend is bound to flop.

then lets have his WAEC result! or is that asking for too much?

if sambo can present a letter from ABU's registrar why can't Buhari present a letter from his school principal?

honeyseller291:
If Buhari claims his waec result is with the army as he claimed then were did he find his WAEC numberlets tell ourself truth Nigeria rise up for GEJ.......

He may have memorised the number. some people have sharper brains than others. Look at the exam no again it shouldn't be too difficult to memorise

@op, are you sure you passed SSCE yourself. In your last paragraph alone I spotted two grammatical blunders unbecoming of somebody that passed SSCE. Check your last paragraph again paying particular attention to the words "attain" and "reverse".

jude2011:
the cd has gone viral everywhere in enugu town. Most igbos will not vote buhari because they hate him. Many will not vote goodluck jonathan because he is a failure. There will be low voters turnout in the southeast because most igbos know that jonathan is not fit to be a president. They also hate buhari not because he is old or anything,he is hated because he is an hausa man. This is nothing but the truth. An average igbo man will not vote because both candidates are not worth it. Instead of voting for buhari because jonathan failed,they will rather abstain from voting.

instead of abstaining why cant they vote for other presidential candidates, afterall GEJ and GMB are not the only candidates

shikaan:
Why are you attacking me personality? Where did i say i know all. Simple thing for you was to check if there was any truth in my judgement, which u dint.
If subsidy had been removed, the prices will fall automatically because the price is determined by market forces... its as simple as that.. i dont expect u to understand it sha. because u are going to be part of GMB's deligation to stabilize the oil market.

According to the article there is currently no subsidy on diesel, why has the price of diesel not reduced, or may be yo didn't read the article.

Ubenedictus:
i gave an approximate yr, it is harder to decide d yr becos in those day they didnt use...., they used d AUC, it is believed dat the catholic monk who changed d dating to ad, bc made a mistake he factored in d reign of caesar but didnt factor in that of herod, if it is true den d date is btween 4bc and 1ad, dat is why i used d word "around"

In other word you are not sure of the year but you are sure of the day and month!
Incredible

SalC:
Read the Op again please.

If you know the year just tell me. That jesus was born in so so year. Is that so difficult?

SalC:
If you read his first few posts, you won't be asking this question, he did put up a year.

which year is that, care to tell me

@op since you are convinced Of the date of birth of Jesus, can you please tell us the year. I mean December 25 of which year?
Unless you want to tell us that you know the month and the day but you cannot confidently mention the year!
You see your life

@dcaliph dat is another annoying thing about some people, they think anybody who cannot speak English is iliterate

By Abubakar Siddeeq

Did non-Muslims use Ajami? Yes, as it was a widely used medium of communication in West Africa in particular and there is nothing strange or sacrilegious about that. Arab Christians use Arabic Bibles in their church services. It reminds me of the fiction work called “Who is this Allah” where a non-existent GJO Moshay says Allah is the name of an idol but foolishly forgot that Allah is the name for God in Arab-speaking churches worldwide and in Hausa speaking communities. I have two different versions of Arabic Bibles myself.

Ignorance is the only explanation for rejecting Ajami thinking it is a Muslim ‘thing’. Even if it was Arabic, history tells us that the current Arabic letters came from Nabatean Aramaic letters. The numbers on the naira notes are still Arabic. Any student of mathematics history will tell you that our current numbers came from Arabic numbers. The later addition is the zero, which came from the Sanskrit language. Arabs called it sifr and the anglicised form is what we now call zero.

If you look at the original flag of Nigeria before the Union Jack and independence, you will notice that it has the symbol of Zionism, the Star of David, as it is called, in the centre. The same is on the penny coins of that era. This is clearly a Jewish symbol. The British colonialists were not Jewish, but they used the symbol all the same. Our hospitals all carry the symbol of the Cross, which Muslims consider blasphemy, as the symbol of a health facility. No one is addressing these issues among the non-Muslims complaining about Ajami. It was fairly recently that the Red Cross Society added the Red Crescent to their emblem for Muslim communities.

We also have the objections of people who understand it is not Arabic but Hausa written in Arabic characters. They say it is tribal imperialism because other languages are not there. Do these people remember who started putting Ajami on our money? I think they do not. The colonialists put Ajami on our money to solve a communication problem with millions of people who were used to a different writing system than the new one. They knew that many Northerners also avoided the missionary schools where their children were often converted forcefully to Christianity and given Christian names. This meant that only a small percentage of them would be able to read the new Latin letters. It was for them the coins and the notes had these extra inscriptions.

If the CBN had said that, since a large number of Hausa speaking, Ajami-literate people could now read Latin characters, they wish to remove the Ajami, it would have made better sense. Only that it would give birth to new questions: What is wrong with leaving it there? Does it cost extra to leave it? Does it harm anyone? Is it aesthetically unsuitable? Does it affect the use of the naira in any way? Stretching the argument, we could even ask, “Why put anything at all? Why not remove the Latin letters too and leave just numbers?” This is just addressing the flawed arguments people have been advancing so far. I agree that its original purpose is hardly relevant again but why not leave it for its historical, cultural and aesthetic values.

At the other end of the spectrum are the Muslims who say that removing it is an attack on Islam. To be frank, this is another silly argument. How is it an attack on Islam? how is the removal of a script based on its letters an attack on Muslims? We have to provoke serious thinking among ourselves in this country. I read of a claim that removing the Ajami script was a way to Christianise Nigeria. We should get an award for the most incredible claims on earth. These claimants no doubt belong in the category of those who do not know the history and purpose of the script on our currency notes and coins.

A respected brother and staunch defender of the rights of Muslims was a prominent proponent of that claim. He even added the new security mark that looks like the Star of David of the Zionists on the new 100-naira bill as further evidence of the ‘agenda’ to Christianise Nigeria. The respected brother got it wrong on both counts. The symbol he wrongly labelled as the Star of David is actually the superimposed squares that form an eight-pointed star that is widely used in Islamic architecture and in the design of the Quran called the Rub’ul Hizb. It has also become a symbol in recent times for the Church of Latter Day Saints who call it the Seal of Melchizedek. The president is not a Muslim and is not of that denomination. Emefiele of the CBN is Catholic. If you go to the National Mosque, you will find many eight-pointed stars as part of the aesthetics. I do not even want to mention the issue of Israelis which a Muslim, Babangida, started.

If we want to stand for justice and fairness, it must begin with ourselves. The Nigerian Army coat of arms has the inscription, “Victory is from God” written in Arabic (As Saf, 61:13). It is part of the Qur’an that we are using as the motto of our Army. We should demand its removal for two reasons. Firstly is the sacrilege of wearing Allah’s name on Army paraphernalia to the toilet and other filthy places including beer joints. The second reason is fairness. In a national institution that is not peculiar to one faith, it is unfair to use part of our scripture as motto. I guess most Christians and Muslims are unaware of this, as it would have started another bigots’ war.

At the foundation stone laying ceremony of the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), someone took a photograph of the late Sardauna of Sokoto beside the marble plaque to mark the event. What struck me were the words underneath the rest. The sentence was in Arabic and although the picture here is grainy, anyone that is conversant with the Qur’an will tell you the words are from Surah12 (Yusuf):76: “…and over every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing.”

ABU is a federal institution funded with taxpayers’ money. It belongs to neither Muslims nor Christians. Why do we have a verse of the Qur’an there when there is no verse of the iThis is however not the same with the logo of the school that is written in Arabic. The history of the school shows that Ahmadu Bello College for Arabic and Islamic Studies was part of what merged to become the second largest university in Africa in 1960. We understand, therefore, that the two languages were used to write the name of the institution.

All I ask the spirited Muslim is to sincerely put himself in the non-Muslims’ shoes and see if he would like the Quranic inscriptions on the Army emblem and the plaque. I also urge the ardent Christian to wear the Muslims’ shoes for a while and see whether he would be happy to see the cross as the symbol for public hospitals. We must hold ourselves to these exacting standards if we want change.

Muslims must demand the removal of the Qur’anic verses in the two institutions I have mentioned and other government owned places while Christians should ask that their religious symbols be removed from government-owned places too. In addition, the government must address the inequalities in holidays, the forced dressing/appearance in Christian attires for many professionals and other issues that both Muslims and Christians feel they are being oppressed or sidelined. Anything short of this will be hypocritical.

My submission on the Ajami script is that it is part of our cultural heritage and history of our monetary system. Just as we have the photographs of great men who helped shape our Central Bank’s history and the nation’s history on the bank notes, I advise that the CBN should leave the Ajami scripts. They are unique to Nigeria and the naira note looks shorn of a certain sentimental value when it is without Ajami. It causes no harm to leave it. On the other hand, if these entreaties do not cause any change of mind, I urge Muslims to be calm, as it does not harm us even if it was calculated to harm us.

An insult you are unaware of does not hurt you. Those who think they have gained a victory with its removal should know that bigotry does not add to anyone; it takes away from you. If the hatred for a people would bring about unintelligent arguments from otherwise eminent scholars, then what do you expect from less endowed people?

Mogidi:
Did we not have muslim muslim in the past i.e Buhari/Idiagbon and Abiola/Kingibe.

Why not Christian Christian for a change? Anyone who wants a religious war would get one.

There was Gowon/Wey before, which was a christian christian combination. You dont have to beleive me, just google the name Vice Admiral Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey. He was the Chief of Staff Supreme Headquarters to Gowon.

Ok, Mr Minister, can you tell us what sanction/punishment was meted out to the criminals?

ask Jonathan

@op check the following website to read stories of real pastors who embraced Islam: http://www.islamreligion.com/category/66/

@op, I had similar conversation with an okada man in Katsina State like ten years ago (can't remember the exact year). The Okadaman told me he preferred Babangida over Buhari as president. When I asked for his reason he told me that at least IBB who is not even from Katsina state, has a house in Katsina city while Buhari who is from the state has none. (Buhari has a house in his village, Daura, not in the state Capital.

I was shocked at this kind of reasoning.

@op of the six muslim countries listed in ur post only two use Arabic as official language, the rest use other languages: Iran speaak persian, Turkey speaks Turkish, Pakistani Urdu etc. And the two most popuulous countries on the list: Pakistan and Indonesia majority there dont speak Arabic. Arabic is mostly spoken by islamic scholars just like among nigerian muslims.Yet the poll declared Arabic as top language used in the online search!

My candid view is this is another attempt to discredit islam.

but we know the religion that officially accept gay men as priests. it is certainly not islam
