I really don't know where to classify OBAINO.. The fact that he has a beef with Obi does not warrant him to be stupid for pursuing self interest at the expense of national interest..

No surprise because he appears to represent one of the certified ALMAJIRI in the East..

God helps all
so you want to obiano to support Obi and his party so that it will affect APGA in the forthcoming elections?

Religion / Re: Way To Salvation: Through Religion Or Self Righteousness? by tallfish145(m): 4:09pm On Jan 21, 2019
xproducer:
@ tallfish145 - To refute @ princy90, human beings are, since the fall of man, typically born into sin - therefore, if we would see eternal life and not destruction because of sin, we need to be saved, and only the Lord JESUS CHRIST saves.

"As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;" - Romans 3:10, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," - Romans 3:23 (also Isaiah 64:6).

The exception is those whom the Lord GOD mercifully saves from the womb (like Jeremiah, etc).

Neither religion, nor one's efforts/self righteousness can cleanse us from sin - "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

GOD alone has to truly cleanse us (Matthew 19:24-26, John 1:12-13, Romans 9:15-17).

So we cry unto Him for mercy (Isaiah 55:6, Isaiah 55:7), while constantly reading the Holy Bible ("So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17 ), and paying constantly (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

We should all cry out to the Lord GOD, make conscious effort to do right - God helps us by His grace -, and hope is His mercy and ability to impute His righteousness to us because of the personal sacrifice that He, in the Person of the Lord JESUS CHRIST, made - standing in the place of many that were lost. He is our righteousness (Jeremiah 33:16).

Peace and blessings.

Religion / Way To Salvation: Through Religion Or Self Righteousness? by tallfish145(m): 3:03pm On Jan 20, 2019
Please i need an answer to a very confusing question. Its unfortunate that the world we are living in now is full of sin and iniquities capable of preventing one from seeing God, the creator. Since we commit sin or go against the wish the wish of the creator, either consciously or unconsciously,how can one get the mercy of God, i mean be saved from the pit of hell after life here on earth?
Does belonging to certain religion guarantees ones salvation or the life we live on earth? If religion is the only way to salvation, then how about differences in the doctrines or belief of many religion, for example Christians believed that Jesus is the way to salvation unlike other religions,like that believed that either Jesus nor Mohammed or any other prophets of God can take you to heaven but your good deeds on earth.
I need an urgent answer. Thanks

So God created and place u on earth so that u will make heaven? Why didnt God place u in heaven.

and for op, you want to tell me that God created and place u on earth for test/refinement, if u pass the test he takes u to heaven if u fail he burns u forever. Does that make sense to you? Why create people in the first place knowing that some will not pass his test. Remember, nobody asked/begged God to creat him.

Some of you make your god look like a cruel monster.

ugjeks:
I recently saw this animated movie 'Smallfoot'. It got me thinking about how people can be enslaved by traditions and doctrines that has been passed on for centurys.
The fights on this lil thread is a true evidence of the division religion has bestowed on humans. If you don't question your religious beliefs then your are a slave to it.
It's a good thing brother that you come to this point of questioning religion. But unlike you, I do believe there is an Almighty God who created and 'designed' things into being. Nature can never be as a result of any randomness.
Your question bro boils down to appealing to your conscience. Your wife is disappointed, she hasn't gotten to that point of asking questions.
If you really love your wife, stay with her, love her and understand her feelings. Put yourself in her shoes too. It's not her fault it's the system.

God is loving, he makes rain and sun to be upon everyone. He doesn't discriminate. It's man that created these divisions and doctrines.
You are born a Muslim, look for something beautiful about Islam hold on to it and don't discriminate against others. enough said

With time your wife will understand you.

How Do I Convince My Wife?


Hi everyone, I will try not to make this post a lengthy one.

I was born into a Muslim family and raised as a muslim. My wife met me as a practicing Muslim way back 2005 when we were both undergraduate in one of Nigeria's federal Universities. Recently, i started losing interest in religion, started seeing it as a source of division among humans ( like Muslims attacking Christians and vice versa). The idea of people burning in hell and some people enjoying in paradise makes no sense to me if God is really loving as claimed by theists.

But my wife is not comfortable with my religious views, infact she has started seeing me as hellbound ( don't blame her though, a true Muslim hardly marry from other religions talkless of marrying a freethinker like me ). I can see that the love she has for me is gradually reducing simply because I chose not to hold any religious views. I have no problem with her religious views, sometimes when she is far asleep, I will wake her up in the morning to observe her solat.

How do I make her understand that I can be a good husband to her without having any religious beliefs ?
The only thing she reads about are stuffs pertaining to Islam, she hardly read about science or other non religious topics. She is one of the people who believes that no human can be morally upright without having the fear of God or subscribe to religious ideas.


Just of recent, I thought of leaving Nigeria to any western country so as to be able to live my life peacefully without anyone questioning my religious views or tag me as an infidel. But I can't just leave everything behind just because my woman is not comfortable with my religious views and has been quarrelling with me on it.

How do I make her live with me peacefully without her feeling uncomfortable? Has anyone experienced this before ? How did you manage the situation ?
leaving Islam is the worst mistake you can ever make. Be steadfast in your religion and stay with your family.May Allah subhana watahala guide you

Religion / Re: Is Sport Betting Truly A Sin? by tallfish145(m): 10:36am On Dec 30, 2018
Dear Brother / Sister,

Gambling means to give or take money or goods depending on something that is not known how it will end. No matter what the name is, any game or bet that has this property and that is played in return for money or goods is called gambling. The word "maysir" mentioned in the Quran is derived from the word "yusr", which means ease, which indicates that money or goods are obtained or lost easily in gambling.

Gambling is a way of obtaining undeserved money which makes man forget his Creator, prevents him from performing prayers, leads him to laziness, eliminates his strength to work and causes grudge and enmity among people. All kinds of gambling, which causes irreparable wounds in individual and social life, are haram in the religion of Islam.

The following is stated in the Quran regarding the issue:

"O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities" (al-Baqara, 2/188; an-Nisa, 4/29).

"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination― of Satan's handiwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper. Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer (al-Maida, 5/90, 91; Ibn Abidin Raddu'l Mukhtar, İstanbul 1307, V, p. 355; Hamdi Yazır, Hak Dini Kur'an Dini, İstanbul 1960, II, p. 766).

Gambling and its harms:

There is no difference between alcohol and gambling in terms of being forbidden and being a sin. Allah renders them haram in the same verse:

" O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination― of Satan's handiwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper." (al-Maida, 5/90).

All kinds of games of chance that cause benefit or harm are regarded as gambling. Gambling means to get a person's money or goods unjustly and to steal one's money or goods deliberately. Gambling is a social disaster. It is always seen that this destructive evil prohibited strictly by the religion of Islam destroys many families. Those who gamble around a table until morning due to the excitement caused by greed and ambition lose their health, wealth, ethics and money; they lose their human feeling. Those who win today lose some other day.

Wives, children and the poor have the right on the money lost at gambling. The money obtained by gambling is not legitimate.

As gambling becomes widespread, social harms will increase. Working is replaced by laziness. The productivity in business life decreases. Gambling brings along evil deeds like alcohol, telling lies, greed, grudge, revenge and murder.

Gambling also causes disorders, disagreements and neglects in family life. There are many people who sell their religion, honor and country due to gambling and who tread on all kinds of sacred values.

Gambling becomes an addiction in a very short time like alcohol. It is very difficult to get rid of it. Therefore, gambling and alcohol are very dangerous habits.

All kinds of games of chance in which you win or lose money like dice, card games, lottery, football pools, lotto, betting and sweepstakes are regarded as gambling.

All games of chance are played to enjoy and to spend time at first. As man wins, he plays for the sake of the pleasure and ambition of winning. As he loses, he plays in order to get back what he has lost. Then, he becomes a gambler. It should not be forgotten that those who lose everything at gambling tables, who sell whatever they have and live in debauchery and poverty, who destroy their wives and children start gambling as a means of pleasure and entertainment at first.

It is an important duty to keep away from gambling as well as protecting the people around us especially our family members from gambling. The duty of protecting family members from harmful and evil things and educating them for a lifestyle that Allah and His Messenger want is given to the head of the family by the Quran:

" O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded " (at-Tahrim, 66/6).

If games like backgammon, chess, checkers, cards, tennis, and billiards are played with the intention of gambling by risking money, they are also regarded as gambling.

There are various hadiths of Hz. Prophet that prohibit backgammon: "A person who plays backgammon is regarded to have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger ." (Abu Dawud, Adab, 56; Ibn Majah, Adab, 43; Malik, Muwatta', 6; Ahmad b. Hanbal, Musnad, IV, 394, 397, 400). "The state of a person who plays backgammon and then performs prayers is like the state of a person who makes wudu with pus and the blood of pig and then performs prayers." (Ahmad b. Hanbal, V, 370).

Acting upon the general prohibition of backgammon in these hadiths, most of the scholars of Islam say that playing backgammon is not permissible. Ibn al-Musayyab and some other Islamic scholars hold the view that it is not haram to play backgammon if the intention is not gambling. Cards and dominoes are regarded as the same as backgammon.

The game of chess, which is called "shatranj" in Arabic, appeared during the period of the Companions after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh); therefore, there is no hadith of the Prophet regarding chess. The Companions and Tabiun scholars stated three views about chess:

According to the Companions and Tabiun scholars like Abdullah b. Abbas, Abu Hurayra, Ibn Shirin, Hisham b. Urwa, Said b. al-Musayyab, Said b. al-Jubayr, it is permissible to play chess.

According to Imam Shafii, chess is makruh tanzihi; according to Abu Hanifa, Malik and Ahmad b. Hanbal, it is haram.

Considering that chess is more like a game of intelligence and a brain sport rather than a game of chance and that there is no definite prohibition about it, this conclusion is made. However, it is understood that the Companions liken it to backgammon. As a matter of fact, the following is narrated from Abdullah b. Umar: "Chess is worse than backgammon." It is stated that Hz Ali regards it as gambling. (Ibn Kathir, Tafsiru'l-Qur'ani'l-Azim, İstanbul 1985, III, 170). On the other hand, it is reported that Yahya b. Sad heard the following from Imam Malik: "There is no good in chess; it is makruh to play chess and other games of chance." Imam Malik was reading the following verse while uttering that sentence: "…Apart from Truth, what (remains) but error? "(Yunus, 10/32; see Malik, Muwatta, Ru'ya, 7).

Checkers is a game like chess. In the games of tennis and billiards, sport is prevalent. They need to be permissible unless some illegitimate elements are added to them.

In conclusion, four conditions are laid as necessary for the games that are played only for relaxation, entertainment and pleasure without the purpose of gambling to be religiously permissible:

a. They must not make people miss or delay fard prayers.

b. People must not expect any material benefits.

c. Players must abstain from uttering bad and unnecessary words during the game.

d. People must not waste their time by playing so much that cannot be regarded as relaxation and entertainment.

O believers, wine and gambling, idols and divining arrows are an abhorrence, the work of Satan. So keep away from it, that you may prevail. Satan only desires to arouse discord and hatred among you with wine and gambling, and to deter you from the mention of God and from prayer. Will you desist?

Family / Tips To Bear In Mind Before 2019 by tallfish145(m): 8:10pm On Dec 29, 2018
TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT AND UNNECESSARY PRESSURE IN 2019
1. Put your kids in schools you can afford because expensive schools don't guarantee good results. Just ensure they attend a good affordable school
2. Rent apartments you can pay for conveniently. Don’t live in a house you struggle to pay yearly.
3. A man whose wife is pregnant has good 9 months to prepare, same as the pregnant woman in question. They should even plan for the worse and only seek help when they can’t meet up.
4. Some problems in our lives don’t just pop up, if you don't own a home, we knew we would pay rents...So it's not an emergency.
5. Let’s plan our lives and live within our means. Save more and spend less.
6. Some women buy food for their children every morning before going to school or even for the whole family, do you know it’s cheaper to cook at home?
7. Some people don’t earn much, but have DSTV at home, go for GOTV and upgrade when your income upgrades. It’s still the same CNN anyway!
8. Eat healthy meals and protect your family from mosquitoes to avoid going to the hospital often.
9. Take advantage of food and fruits in season, it's cheaper and you can be creative to create amazing meals.
10. Don’t copy your neighbor’s lifestyle, she earns well and her husband is a ‘big man’*
11. Don’t follow trends, wear clean well-ironed clothes and keep your hair neat. You would still look good.
12. Keep your circle small, keep only friends that have senses!
13. Above all things, have the fear of God, have integrity, don’t be lazy and be prayerful.
14. Planning is the key, if you fail to plan, you plan to FAIL
15. Don't do more than your budget in new year, there is no award given to best family that wore an expensive clothes for the year
16. Don't be in competition with anyone...
The purpose of shoes and clothes are to make us smart and look good
God bless us all and provide all our needs
