AlphaTaikun: That N100 was a lot of money back in 1979. I remember buying grilled meat (suya) for N20 back in 1982 and 2 of us could NOT even finish the large quantity. However, I wonder where in Lagos State she bought a house for N100? Perhaps the undeveloped suburbs or outskirts of Lagos.
As of late 1960s my grandfather purchased a large plot of land (on lease) in Lagos for £20. I saw the receipt myself back in the 1990s. Make una try dey read. As civil servants, the fg gave them houses. To qualify for the opportunity however, they paid N100. |

advanceDNA: As usual...u have come to play the same script of hiding under media........
if you will answer truthfully ......The class mates of Deborah who was set her ablaze for saying blood of Jesus cover her on a class group chat, are they not everyday Muslims she goes to class with at the higher institution?? Is it media that set her ablaze??
Again I ask you.....The teacher that was set beheaded for seizing the Quran a student wanted to take to the exam hall back in 2012, are they not everyday Muslims students she sees and teaches in the school??
Please explain....How is it peaceful that u muslims get to a location and suddenly want to cancel and suppress other pple's liberty and laws with your own shariah?? The same liberty that allowed you to grow freely and practice your islam?
Go and take a look at your extremism all over Europe....u keep giving media as an excuse, but you know u muslim always get to pples country and start agitating for laws against your host's laws and culture.....how is that peaceful??
Poland had to make a law that they won't allow Muslims immigrants into their country because they now realize u pple take advantage of friendly immigration laws to enter pples land only to turn round and wanting to subdue your host with laws antagonistic to their land..
The truth is that, ...u Muslims never show ur true colors when you are not majority or haven't increased significantly in an area which is the situation in the south...and it is called Taqiyya .... But Once u become majority or have significant numbers, u are never peaceful to others that are not Muslims.......ur religion doesn't remain a personal thing anymore ...u start looking for how to cancel pple's law and culture to replace it with shariah... How is this peaceful??
When your fellow Muslims brother start doing their Islamic extremism , u call them criminals, but the truth is these violence and killings are permitted in Islamic states......and you all know it is permitted...
Lesser jihad which Bokoharam is doing is an Islamic practice... Killing who leaves islam is allowed in islam.. Killing for wateva reason u tag as blasphemy is allowed in islam
.... But the issue is many of u want to practice these extreme practice anyway weda u are in Afghanistan or UK..u don't see it as extreme marrying a nine year old or killing someone who rejects Islam because even though ur Islam says no compulsion, you still consider the person a kufir and therefore qualified to be killed as a service you your God.... All of this long talk. Yet not one of the many questions I asked was answered. Do you. You are exceptionally insignificant in the grand scheme if things. Nothing you do will change the world anyways. Enjoy your bitter existence. |
Islam › Re: Please ,can Someone Explain To Me Why Islam Is Called Religion Of Peace ? by Timoleon(m): 11:57pm On Dec 07, 2025 |
Because contrary to what criminals parading themselves as Muslims want you to think, the reals Muslims who you know on a one on one basis, the ones you grew with, the ones you work with are genuinely mostly peaceful people. The Muslims in your street whom your parents never had issues with while you were growing up and would always go their houses to play with their kids, the ones you went to school with whom you would couch for with everything you have, the ones you work with who you know deep without checking is not on the list of corrupt workers. The mosques in your streets have been there for decades, yet not one fight has originated from there, not one gunshot has Ben heard from there not once have you heard the imam advocate for violence against neighbors or people of different faiths.
The people you know personally as Muslims are obviously peaceful people. You must ask yourself if you are really thinking for yourself if a foreign media is channeling you to judge your neighbors whom you've lived with for decades by using the acts of people from foreign lands who you know nothing of their origins or their motivations just because you are told to.
There are mosques in the south south, south east and south west. All of them well integrated into society. Why do we have these 'radical islamists' in areas where the borders are most porous? Perhaps, is it because they aren't real Muslims but rather criminal elements paid to disguise as Muslims while causing mayhem and division in society?
The real Muslims you know one on one, not from tv, news etc. the real Muslims s you know and interact with on a first name basis, I can bet they are mostly peaceful and regarding their faith. As individuals however people might have different temperaments. |

It depends on the construction company in charge. If it's an indigenous company, it'll be Nigerian engineers in charge. What however happens is that the biggest and most visible projects are often won by international companies who of course use their personnel but must fill in quotas with locals too. |

Fear is not the opposite of love. You either love or hate the country. Fear does not overtake love or hate. If you love the country, fair. If you hate the country fair too, the country hasn't been favorable to most people. Fear is not an alternative to either of those emotions. |

TenQ: There is no problem with Ukraine never joining NATO if that is Russian concern
However, what has no joining NATO got to do with 1. Limiting the Ukrainian army size 2. Taking over Ukrainian oblasts 3. Ensuring that Ukraine never becomes a nuclear power
If, your claim is that As far as a fair peace seal is concerned, only Russia can get a fair deal as they are the ones with the power to. Ukraine will get whatever others decide for it.
Then the only security guarantee any country could have is to own their own nuclear weapons . The non-nuclear proliferation deal assumes that nuclear states will not bully non-nuclear states.
If Russia in four years time decides to invade Ukraine again again, after these, what do you think the US or European countries will do? You keep confusing morality for reality. Real life doesn't care about morality. What has deterred the stronger nations from head on collision is their possession of nuclear weapons for the most part. North has only evaded American invasion because it defied the international community and went ahead to create it's nuclear assets. Sadam, Gaddafi et Al ended up dead because they didn't posess these weapons despite false accusations by USA and NATO. As things stand Ukraine will get what others decide. Is it fair to Ukraine? Definitely not! But does reality change because of our emotions? No. |

TenQ: The truth of the matter is that both Russia and Ukraine are bleeding badly in this war
Russia over underestimated Ukrainian resolve to hold on.
Ukraine had been betrayed over and over that they cannot bring themselves to trust Russia over ANYTHING.
This so-called peace deal is a call for capitulation. If Russia could take the four Oblasts completely, they would have done it.
Unfortunately, Putin still up till yesterday says that "Whatever" happens ALL the military goals of Russia would be achieved"
Meaning that, if Ukraine surrenders their fortress belt for the sake of peace deal, Russia can find the excuse to roll forward and take even Kiev the capital.
The phrase "security guarantee" is a meaningless because when the time comes, USA or NATO or Europe will not put boots on ground to help Ukraine.
I do not see Ukraine accepting this horrible "peace deal". It is like forcing a raped woman to allow her rapist to live in one of the rooms in her house and saying: If he tries to tape you again, call us!
A Fair Peace deal must start with a CEASEFIRE while maintaining the current frontline. But Russia wants what it could not achieve milleterily over the last three years on the platter of gold. The peace plan tells a different story. It obviously seeks to appease, placate and assure Russia. As for the objectives of Russia, this is also very much guaranteed in the peace plan. No NATO membership for Ukraine, freedom of Russian speaking Ukraine, guarantee by NATO to halt expansion. You can choose to believe whatever you like, yet these are the current realities. As far as a fair peace seal is concerned, only Russia can get a fair deal as they are the ones with the power to. Ukraine will get whatever others decide for it. |

TenQ: You think it is fair for 1. Ukraine limiting it's armed forces to 600,000 2. Ukraine to vow never to develop Nuclear weapons ? 3. Ukraine to give Russia all the lands Russia wanted?
Who is the aggressor here?
Would it be equally fair to say that 1. Russia limiting it's armed forces to 1,000,000 2. Russia to vow never to use Nuclear weapons ? 3. Russia to give Ukraine all the lands Russia wanted?
Above for your consideration sir There's a reason the entire peace plan panders mostly to Russia. In international politics, might is right. Ukraine at the moment has very little ti bargain with other than hope. Russia holds the bargaining chips. Meanwhile USA who is supposedly pushing the peace plan has nothing with which to compel Russia to an agreement hence the war stops only when RUSSIA get what it considers to be fair to Russia. And this deal right here is not fair to Russia so do not expect the war to come to an end with this particular deal. |

Onewazobia: What do you suggest they should do regarding Boko haram, Fulani terrorist, kidnappers etc? There's nothing they can do actually. Once these monsters are created, they can't be eradicated. The USA went into Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban. They spent 20 years killing and displacing millions of people. At the end they left, and the Taliban is still in charge of Afghanistan. They have fought against Al Qaeda, Isis, Hezbollah, houthis, all of them are still in existence today. They entered Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, yemen etc destroyed the place, looted it but all the supposed terror organizations they went in to fight are still in standing strong. |
