Cure your ignorance

Go read up on the Sirat bridge on judgement day

Ps. The verse is for all mankind
Where did Allah mention anything about the bridge of Sirat?

Lies your scholars fabricated to make the thought of entering hell easier for you.

Why don't you look at exactly what Allah said!

Quran 19:72
Then, We will save those who were cautious of Us, but the harmdoers shall be left there hobbling on their knees


1. Would those who are cautious of Allah be saved from the Bridge of Sirat?
2. Would the harmdoers be left on the bridge of sirat?
3. Is the bridge of sirat inside hell or over hell fire?

Quran 19:71
There is not one of you who will not go down to it (the Fire), that is a fixed Decree of your Lord


Meaning that ALL Muslims will at least first be in Hell Fire.
Here is the Arabic if you do not like the translation above
وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمࣰا مَّقۡضِیࣰّا

Quran 19:72
Then, We will save those who were cautious of Us, but the harmdoers shall be left there hobbling on their knees


After ALL you Muslims enter the Fire, THEN Allah will THEREAFTER remove the good Muslims and leave others in the Fire


This is the Words of Allah not TenQ. You will ALL first enter the Fire of hell! The only problem is that there is no coming out thereafter!

I find it strange and amusing when online in Nigeria it seems that the rivalry between two ethnic groups of Yoruba and Igbo are always having tribal verbal wars which shouldn't be.

It seems from linguistics point of view, there are more similarities than differences. Check out the video attaches .

The five closest linguistic relatives of Yoruba in Nigeria, in order of closeness, are generally considered to be:
1.Itsekiri
2. Igala
3. Edo (Bini)
4. Urhobo/Isoko
5. Igbo




Say no to tribal sentiments.
We can be greater than we are when we recognise that we share the same forefathers or foremothers

Have you read this?

Deuteronomy 20:16-17 (God speaking): "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites... as the Lord your God has commanded you." (Genocide of entire tribes, including children).
· 1 Samuel 15:3 (God commanding): "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (Kill absolutely everything).
· Exodus 22:20: "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed." (Kill anyone who worships differently).
· Numbers 25:17: "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them."

If we take the literal text without context, these Bible verses command the complete extermination of non-believers, which is objectively more extreme than Quran.

So who is the terrorist?
No problem. The Jews killed off all these people
BUT
Your God in the Qur'an Allah says he sent the Jews to commit the genocide.

Is this untrue?


And your prophet says he rules by terror!

Both your God and your prophet are the same

All Christians are Terrorists because the Bible preaches Terrorism.

Now, let's compare that to similar commands in the Bible, which are far more severe in their literal wording:

· Deuteronomy 20:16-17 (God speaking): "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites... as the Lord your God has commanded you." (Genocide of entire tribes, including children).
· 1 Samuel 15:3 (God commanding): "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (Kill absolutely everything).
· Exodus 22:20: "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed." (Kill anyone who worships differently).
· Numbers 25:17: "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them."

If we take the literal text without context, these Bible verses command the complete extermination of non-believers, which is objectively more extreme than Quran.
It seems you haven't read
Surah al-Mā’idah [5:21],
Musa says to his people: “O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has prescribed for you, and do not turn back, or you will be losers.”


The Jews were following instruction from Allah as you can see.

Do you want to read the Tafsirs about this verse?

Also, read what happened when the Children of Israel refused to obey Allah's instructions

Quran 5:23
“(But) among (their) Allah‑fearing men were two on whom Allah had bestowed His grace: They said: ‘Assault them at the (proper) Gate: when once ye are in, victory will be yours; But on Allah put your trust if ye have faith.’”
Qur'an 5:24
“They said: ‘O Moses! we shall never enter it until they leave it: if (once) they leave it, then shall we enter.’”


In some printings/editions of Yusuf Ali, 5:24 continues with the famous line:
“So go thou and thy Lord, and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch).”

So,
1. there is a Land of Allah called the Holy Land
2. Allah gave the land to the children of Israel
3. Unfortunately, some people had entered the land before them
4. Allah tells the children of Israel to take back his land.





So, tell me.
What are the Muslims fighting everyone for?
Why are Muslims generally violent?





Your prophet said:
“I have been made victorious with fear (terror) cast into the hearts (of the enemy) for a distance of one month’s journey.”


Your prophet also said:
“I have been commanded to overcome by terror to a journey of 40 days”


So, who is the Terrorist?

How did he go from being a Bricklayer to becoming a Governor? The story goes that Nwifuru became a loyal aid to an up and coming businessman and aspiring politician called Dave Umahi

Dave Umahi would go on to become deputy Governor and Governor, and took Nwifuru along. Nwifuru became Dave Umahi's annointed political son and handed over to him when his tenure ended

Nwifuru is now Governor of Ebonyi State while Dave Umahi is Minister of works.

Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever you find doing as the people of Lot did (i.e. homosexuality), kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done, and if you find anyone having sexual intercourse with animal, kill him and kill the animal." Related by Ahmad and the four Imams with a trustworthy chain of narrators.

This is exactly the false choice I have been talking about.

Who said helping a widow selling akara means abandoning unemployed graduates?

Who said a micro-enterprise grant is a substitute for graduate employment?

Nigeria has different categories of vulnerable people, and they require different interventions.

An unemployed graduate needs economic growth, investment, skills development and quality jobs.

A market woman needs affordable working capital.

A roadside food vendor needs inventory.

A farmer may need seedlings and fertilizer.

A transport operator may need cheaper fuel or vehicle finance.

Good governance is not about designing **one programme for everyone**. It is about matching solutions to different problems.

Ironically, your argument reinforces my point. You have focused entirely on graduates while overlooking the millions of Nigerians who are not graduates but are struggling to survive through micro-businesses.

Should government ignore them because they do not have university degrees?

The poor are not a homogeneous group.

The woman frying akara is not competing with the graduate looking for a software engineering job. They have different challenges, and sensible public policy recognises that.

That is why I said Nigeria's economy is layered. Recognising the needs of one group does not amount to neglecting another.
You said:

Even though some people can be helped with N50k, that is just surface treatment of the deep problem of Nigeria.

Unfortunately, the most productive part of job creation is not things like frying akara or selling retail banana amd plantain but in manufacturing and producing things that will slow down our importation of almost everything we consume.

Politics › Re: The Akara Economy: Why The Elite Often Misunderstand Grassroots Empowerment. by TenQ: 10:34am On Jun 28
CharlesCNG:
One of the biggest mistakes in Nigerian politics is assuming that everyone lives in the same economic reality.

They don't.

The debate over Senator Oluremi Tinubu's comments about akara and kuli-kuli exposed something deeper than politics. It exposed a disconnect between many middle-class commentators and the daily realities of millions of Nigerians.

To someone earning a salary every month, ₦50,000 may look insignificant.

To a widow selling akara, roasted yam, boiled corn, kuli-kuli or cashew nuts, ₦50,000 can be working capital. It is the difference between buying today's stock with borrowed money and buying it outright. It is the difference between surviving and expanding.

Years ago, I personally experienced this.

I gave five widows ₦30,000 each to buy cashew nuts. They repackaged them into smaller bottles and sachets for resale. Within three months, every one of them had repaid the money. We then revolved the same capital to another five women.

That small intervention did not create software engineers. It created sustainable micro-businesses.

That is the point many critics miss.

Not every Nigerian needs a laptop before they can be economically productive. Nigeria's economy is layered. A graduate may benefit from digital skills and technology. A market woman may benefit more from affordable working capital. A roadside food vendor may simply need enough money to increase inventory.

As food prices have risen, another trend has emerged. Demand for lower-cost prepared foods such as roasted yam, akara, bread-and-akara ("akara burger"wink, boiled maize and similar street foods has increased in many communities because they remain relatively affordable. That, in turn, has created opportunities for thousands of small traders operating with modest capital.

This is not an argument against technology or digital empowerment.

It is an argument against one-size-fits-all thinking.

Successful social policy recognises that poverty is not uniform. The needs of a graduate seeking employment are different from those of a widow selling vegetables, or a hawker financing her daily stock on credit.

Politics is ultimately about understanding people where they are, not where we wish they were.

If the opposition wants to become electorally competitive, it must spend more time listening in markets than arguing on social media.

The grassroots are not asking politicians to solve every problem overnight. Many are asking for something much simpler: enough capital to take the next step.

Sometimes, the journey out of poverty does not begin with millions of naira.

Sometimes, it begins with one basin of akara.
The problem not solved by the Government is the several million graduates living from hands to mouth.
N50k is not the kind of help they are looking for.


Government failed to realise that the Olodo Uprising is caused by them
