caseless: 'ill-informed'!

If you can point to any other muslim ad where a 16th century muslim imam is required to have only one wife, i'll agree with you.

tbaba1234: Untrue, most of the ottoman sultans had multiple wives.

Like you said, ottoman sultans, and not necessarily reflective of the average turkish.

If Mohammed himself was in a monogamous marriage initially, then whats so strange about the issue of monogamy.

And even with your example, the most famous turkish sultan, had only one legal wife. And this was in the 16th century.

My point is, monogamy may be strange to you, but it wasnt as strange back then as you're trying to make it seem.


The romans and ancient greeks had practiced it for centuries and did not consider polygamy the norm. Turkey took over that empire and its far more likely polygamy was imported as a result of the muslim conquests.

I thought bathroom slippers arent allowed in public schools.

The govt should please step in and provide proper footwear for all students in public schools.

You mean broke nigerians?

Is it only them?

The turks took over the old eastern roman empire, but they did not abandon the cultural practices even though they became muslim.

The romans did not practice polygamy, same as the ancient greeks.

Also why the requirements for an imam included he must be educated, versed in latin, sciences and humanities, etc.

oluafolabi: Mumu blogger.

The headline on forbes was 'Africa's newest billionaire emerge' .

He just chose to misinterprete the information on purpose.

Its called nairalanding.

Why do all these billionaires tend to look alike.

Is this polygamy things, not sure what we're supposed to make of the topic.

Did this guy run for governorship once? His name sounds familiar, think he was in the political news or something.

Elgaxton: Sorry Nigerians thought them how to do this....

Highly doubtful, where did nigerians themselves learn it from?

Especially given our propensity to worship anything foreign or non black.

However, perhaps there should be an agriculture section, dunno?

Its you people who arent allowing seun to see any need for marriage and kids.

All this oga seun please do something wey una dey type everyday, una don become im pikin finish.

Grown man with grown pikin who are the same age as him or at most just a few years younger?

Well, its the people overseas or the ones who have people overseas, who are in the middle of this situation now.

Na una dey trackable and una info dey for database.

Although sha, is there any nigerian who doesnt have people overseas?

I think its very rare.

Ile la n wo, ki a to so omo loruko!

No argument there.

Did the boy say he's not nigerian?

Abi e nor resemble nigerian for some people eye?

Lord have mercy o.

Litmus: Remember that to most foreigners, black Africans are Nigerians, we're all they can say because we're well known, the same way that most East Asians are sometimes lumped under Indians, or all Caribbeans lumped as Jamaicans.

Everybody knows who is who.

Unless they're pretending.

Wow, didnt know there are one million indians in nigeria.

Its a wonder there are any black people left in that country.

where is this sheikh from?

@ the arabic moniker

if indeed his theory is true, i think it might be perhaps one of many waves of migrations into yorubaland.

there are still many things nobody has been able to pinpoint for sure.

if there's a nigerian consulate or whatever in india, and they're not afraid to talk for fear of backlash (from fellow nigerians even, nobody needs to do the job nigerians will gladly do for them), maybe they should make some kind of noise about the situation?

is it just me, or are blacks viewed as having a fixation with private parts?

the men like showing or boasting about their genitals, while the women are simply considered mammary glands and butts.


i mean, these perceptions seem to apply more to blacks than other races. And you find non-blacks relating with them in the same manner (ie vulgar)

or is it our celebrities perpetuating these things?

do we have anything we can boast of besides sex related matters?

just wondering.

[quote author=Vic-jay]indian again. naija don suffer.[/quote]na today?

indianin9ja: It is paved and pothole-free for the most part, unlike ...

nigeria?

this script is not well written o.

all the sir galahad stuff would be better off in a nollywood movie, make una no cause uneccessary tension with una horniness/whatever.

@ shymexx and co.

i think grown women can make their own decisions, at most you and your lover/s should just carry yourselves to the nearest registry and do what you feel you have to do, even if na common law things, na una sabi.

well, its either sweat or body fluid, your choice.

and not only in the yam but in the stew.

pounded yam is good, poundo yam is great.

nice stew.

TayoT: I stayed 2 years in India, and I tell you one thing, everyone is scared of Nigerians.

hahaha, this is funny.

indians scared of nigerians? What a joke.

If you are not scared of Indians, then you must be extremely naive, sorry to say.

even whites do not joke with indians or chinese/asians, its only blacks you'll see talking in this manner.

Indians are scared of you indeed.

Scared to lease houses, scared to open bank accounts, scared to lease cars etc.

because of their system there. Nuff said.

We are a set of aggressive people. The day I would have been in trouble, we we drinking outside our house to welcome some Naijas, not knowing a policeman in mufti had hinted one of our friends that what we were doing is tantamount to crime, he waved him off in disgust.

typical african/nigerian kumbaya attitude.

It took about 20 policemen to hold us down.

Thank God for the level of persuasion as I was quick to identify the. Assistant commissioner and convince him we were not aware.

He later told me there were. 179 Naijas in their prisons (that's a state that can be related to Kano in Naija). Drugs, scam, what have you.

So many Naijas are defacing us there, some can't even go out of their houses.

I think our high commission should do more work.

you are lucky it was the policemen they released to "handle" you, they havent decided to deal with you yet, thats why.

olabamiji09: spirit is what God recognise while soul is also invisible aspect of the body...

true.


i think watchman nee wrote a book about this.

AjanleKoko: Hmm.
Pardon me, I can't even remember in what context I made that comment.
But as per my generalization. Well, yes, I used to be a lazy worker, up to a point. 6-10 years ago, my level of social awareness was probably such that I would join in the condemnation of Indian or Lebanese or Chinese workers and employers. Like most of you, I preferred to focus on the specks in their eyes, rather than the beam in mine.

But after progressing up the corporate ladder and making a foray into entrepreneurship
.

you should move to lebanon, china or india.

I'm sure they'll appreciate you better than if you stay in nigeria.

are you being paid to follow me?

how much, is it a significant amount or some few kobo. Or were you promised somebody's yansh as a reward.

and yes, the thread should be in general section, nobody likes a kiss asss.

its unfortunate nigerians/blacks enjoy being slaves to other races.

you'll be surprised they (nigerians) will still do exactly what the indians are doing there, to their fellow nigerians, in nigeria and elsewhere, all basically because of the inferior mentality and love of filthy chicken change any foreigner will pay them to bastardize themselves and their country.

and, obviously this shows planning- the sticks used are all the same size.
