So what does this imply?

That those using the Koran as an excuse to kill,probably bought a made in China version of Koran?

[quote author=HungerBAD post=46243171]So what does this imply?

Was it written in the bible for pastor king to kill his church members
Was it written in bible for bishop oyedepo to slap a girl in front of a large congregation
Was it written in the bible that a pastor should sleep with his church members coza pastors come to mind innit
We have heard horrid stories about some filthy Christians and pastors have been involved in even tho those acts are frowned upon by the bible and I am very sure you will agree with me.
What I find disturbing is how you Christians find it difficult that some ignorant people carry out vicious attacks all in the name of Islam. When we Muslims frown against the actions of the misguided lots within the religion of Islam you still have your doubts. Even tho the poster said the imam of the mosque he attended gave a lecture frowning against such attacks you still find it difficult to believe the rulings of Islam against such attacks.

In case you haven't noticed there are good and evil people everywhere, both in Islam and christainity.
Among Jews and Arabs
Among Yorubas and Igbos and Hausa and everywhere you go

Don't close your eyes to the evil committed in your church and point fingers at the evil committed in the mosque cos that my dear is just filthy hypocracy.

A perfect example is the recent demise of Muhammad Ali, yes the great man that the world is talking about, the greatest of all and yes he is a Muslim. But am sure you wont see Islam through someone like him, you prefer to see Islam through the actions of boko haram and the likes just to justify to hatred for a religion you know nothing about.

I pray you find the right path someday.

Jadekitana:
Hi guys, goodmorning all. Seems i'm late! I want to further my education next year in Canada, ontario precisely. I'd be going for a Pgd in business administration, I was told I have to start the process latest by September this year,because i'm looking at February/march 2017. I also read where they said students are allowed to work inside the campus for 6months before allowed to work outside. I have some questions:
1) are Pgd students allowed to work as well
2) what's the total package for everything, which includes tuition, accommodation, ticket and visa, feeding
3) which university in ontario is very affordable, not the very expensive ones since i'm doing Pgd before thinking of doing masters.

I'd be glad if my questions are answered thanks.

If you can you should try Vancover Island University for PGD

You see, there is something about fame, respect and morals.

You can have fame and not have respect and morals.

Have you ever wondered why d world will continue to talk about the likes of Steve Jobs, Malcom X, Henry Ford and the likes? These influenced the world with their invention and struggle.

Linda is famous, wealthy and followed by her likes but can she have respect ?

Would I want my daughter to defame , slander and gossip about others or would I love my daughter to have a positive influence on the world? It's a question you should ask yourself.

Wiz kid has abused her family, her sister and Mother for what she did to him.

It's wrong no doubt, but anyone could do that if pushed to the wall.

She will die someday like you and I but the question is what would she be remembered for ?

Seun Osewa isn't has famous has she is but Seun has more reputatio, respect and morals than her.

Peeps like Seun are people we should look up to and not Linda.

I am not a Muslim and will never be. A religion that does not tolerate people of other religions, a religion that justifies the killing of people of other religions, a religion that is fraught with lies, a religion of suicide bombers, a religion of violence, a religion of eye service, a religion...

By the way, since when must one sign an agreement before one can post a comment? Which zzommbie of a moderator brought this to front page? Haven't you Muslims been making comments on posts about Christianity? Is it by force to be a Muslim? Why don't you create a muslim section and post it there? Will their bowing under water prevent suicide bombing from happening in the future?

Quote me see how your brother or sister or son or daughter will become a suicide bomber.

And better remove that rubbish on my profile.

**Modified**
Front page, I believe is meant for posts that are for general perusal and participation. For you to bring a post to front page and still put a clause to it just shows how sentimental and intolerant your religion is. You all need love in your lives.

Yes we Muslims are terrorist.
We caused Worrld War 1 and 2
We dropped a bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that killed all life forms
We took part in slave trade that killed over 100 million Africans
We Muslims are problems of the world,
We invaded Iraq and destroyed the country
We killed Gadafy
We caused political instability in the Middle East
We supported Isreal to sleal the land of palentians and justified our actions by quoting verses of a scripture
We carried out the crusades that killed millions of Muslims
We invented the nuclear weapon that is capable of wiping our planet
So brother kill all the Muslims you see around or better still report them to the authority.
If you can't do that the hatred you have for Muslims because of a false opinion you have about will consume you.

Just to enlighten you, there is a form of programming called 'media manipulation' or better still 'brainwash'.

One can be a victim to these form of programming without even knowing, but now that I have given you a hint of your condition only you can free yourself from this false knowledge and Notion you have about Muslims.

How U can do that is by reading the Quran yourself and having your own understanding about Islam so the media won't tell you about it.

The media once you and your likes that Irag has a weapon of mass destruction and am sure you believed....that's just an example of media manipulation.

I hope you give your mind freedom, learn the truth and let it sef you free.

Am a Muslim and I love you even tho you hate me for being a Muslim.

Culture › Re: Yoruba Origin Revisited by tplacid: 9:26am On Mar 21, 2016

DuduNegro:
"revisit", "review", "re examine", ......

Culture is what is selling now. The explosion of informal photography through internet feeds is revealing aspects of humanity which before now had been dismissed as inconsequential, untamed, unsophisticated and by all means unworthy of acknoedgement and acceptance. Far more people are itching to experience the physicality of the image brought to them on internet. So awareness will feed tourism and acceptance. I recently opened a post suggesting that a mammoth land development as Eko Atlantic City ought to incorporate a cultural landmark image. Building structures do not ordinarily make good landmarks; it is the character or persona imbued in them which gives it an attitude that appeals to the public.

Nigerians do not get a thrill out of visiting or eating in an American or European restaurant, much as they are glorified and rated around the globe. The reason is because our own cuisines are far more tasty, delightful and filling.

Similarly, Europeans and Americans will not be thrilled by our fanciful and cosmopolitan buildings. Simply because they live and work in similar skyscrapers and walk between their concrete facade everyday. What will thrill them in Eko Atlantic is the cultural symbols......something that tells them who we are before they meet us. After they meet us, more of something to remind them who we are so they will want to return for a repeat contact.

All are welcome!

Yoruba palace bards were the first recorders of Yoruba origin. Oral tradition is a record. It creates copies of the original which is then transmitted through recitals down the ancestral and generation line.

Literature, writing, documentation, are also records. By writing down we expand circulation of the message or history, this is the only advantage between the two methods of transmission.

A written record made thousands of years after multi-generations of bards and griots have heralded the origins and beginnings of Yoruba race cannot authenticate as the first record on the subject.

Ifa was not written down for thousands of years; using the same logic should we say Yorubas were taught Ifa by the first set of people to put it in writing?

Ile-Ife was documented in print by foreigners, should we say Yorubas did not know about Ile-Ife until they read about it in a book?

This idea that Bello and Clapperton were the first recorders must be squashed and thrashed in the dustbin. White explorers pushed into Africa from two directions: 1. From the sea; 2. From the desert.

Yoruba political and spiritual capitals were both hinterland and European contact with them occured very late relative to other Empires of the Sudan that explorers like Clapperton visited. Few things are noteworthy in the exchange between Bello and Clapperton :

What led Bello to neglect telling Clapperton about the Fulani or Hausa ancestry; why did he choose Yoruba ancestry to talk about?

1. Bello was at war with Shehu of Borno when Clapperton visited
2. Timbuktu had given jurisprudence verdict and circulated to all the Muslim rulers of the Sudan that only muslims can enslave muslims. Muslims are permitted to enslave non-muslims but it is unlawful under Sharia that kaffirs should enslave muslims or that muslims should live under kaffir rule.
3. Yorubas were enslaving and selling Fulanis.

In that narrative to Clapperton, Bello was drawing a line of reason to solicit Clapperton's support. While there is no doubt about the ancestral link and its dotted lines, on this occassion however Bello needed Clapperton to see a political connection between the Yoruba and Kanuri and a need to crush them. Even though he ended giving history, his motive was to find a lasting solution, particularly to trading and enslavement of Fulani.

The story of Ya'rub is common in the story of origins of the Arabs. His descent line is the only one unaccounted for in the Arab clans. There is no definite knowledge of what happened to him or where he went. Arab literature contained accounts of an Arab clan head who emigrated out of Arabia, particularly Mecca, after his idols were destroyed. The Kaabah which muslims today circum-ambulate used to be a shrine with idols in it. They do not know where this clan head went or what happened to him either but it is believed he crossed into the Sudan with his people and followers.

Scholars in Mali had manuscripts that detail the history of black Sudan. The long ancestry of Yorubas is in this archive and as the scholars spread their religion they also taught history. This is how Bello knew that history. It was not his conclusion, he contributed nothing to it.

Samuel Johnson had an independent source for his account. It is evident in his works that Johnson shared deeper and more intimate ancestral linkages of the Yorubas tothe Kanaan than Bello gave in his writings to Clapperton. So where di Mr Johnson get this info?

Johnson was literate, educated and a scholar, in writing he would retain the name "Nimrod" in its original if indeed his knowledge of Yoruba ancestry was handed to him solely from Bello and Clapperton, neither one of whom knew what Lamurudu was or meant. The inclusion of Lamurudu can only mean that others in native Yorubaland knew who Lamurudu was.

Nimrod is not mentioned by name in the Quran. I am a muslim and I am very intimate with the Quran, cover to cover. He occurrs in footnotes and sermons and interpretation. Since Yorubas at this time were writing in Ajami, and not in latin alphabets, Lamurudu would not have been present in their texts.

What would you say then of the native Yoruba name Dauda and Moremi?
Were these names brought to us through Ajayi Crowther and Christian missionaries? The two names are David and Maryam. How about Apata in Yoruba and Peter in Bible, can we say Yorubas did not know what Apata was until we read about Peter in Bible? How about orisha Adimu? Did we only find out the first man was named Adam through our contact with foreigners? The high priest of Ife is named Araba, just as high priest of Jerusalem is named Rabbi......is this the influence of foreigners teaching us who we are?

Really Who are the scholars without whose written records Yoruba would have be a lost race without a root? Name them.

The need to retain integrity and preserve Yoruba history from falsehood and bias is why the record of root origin is kept safe in the lineage of bards and griots. Oral history is not as vulnerable to revisions as written history is.

The custodians of oral history and Yoruba roots and civilization are the authentic repository of the knowledge.

Brother you are deep.....please can I be your student. Would like to talk to you about this mysterious tribe of ours.

HungerBAD:
A teenage girl packed with explosives by Boko Haram ripped off her vest to avoid taking part in the attack on Borno Internally Displaced Persons camp (IDPs) in Dikwa, Borno State on Tuesday.

Two others with her, however, walked into the middle of hundreds of people lining up for food before they blew themselves up in the attack that killed 58 and injured 78.

I hope this will clear the air that Muslims are not terrorist.

I hope people will use that value judgement and stop being sentimental after this Muslim girl decided not to commit an evil act.

It was the most lethal attack launched by the sect in recent months.

A Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) fighter Modu Awami said yesterday that the third would-be bomber, looking about 14, has confessed.

Awami, who helped question the girl, said she was scared because she knew she would kill people.

A rescue official who confirmed it, said the girl has given officials information about other planned bombings

The United States (U.S.) Embassy in Nigeria yesterday condemned the attacks on Dikwa.

The US Diplomatic Mission in Abuja, in a statement, restated the U.S. government’s continued support for the Nigerian government in fighting terrorism.

“The US Embassy condemns the reported suicide attacks on internally displaced persons in Dikwa town, Borno State,that occurred on Feb. 9.

“The US remains committed to assisting internally displaced populations in North-Eastern Nigeria through humanitarian relief efforts.

“We will also continue to support the Nigerian government in its fight against terrorism,’’ it said.

They were just two thousand, yet they massacred forty thousand in a battle. They were the first Africans to refine crude oil with local materials. They made an Airport appear every night and disappear every morning for over 2 years. They were the first Africans to manufacture Proper bombs with wholly local materials, they gave us OGBUNIGWE BOMB – the fear of soldiers. They lost over two million of their tribes men, yet they bounced back.

All he asks of you is a place to rest his head, nothing more, you would see the igbo man build an empire out of nothing. sheer tenacity and industry they exhibit.

while the Yorubas and the Hausas would easily be beggars on the street, the pride in the Igbo man makes that option very very remote. it can easily be said that except in the case of madness or leprosy, you wont find an Igbo beggar. Stop, think about all the beggars you have met on the street, have you met one who is an igbo man? The Igbo people are about the most traveled people on earth. in fact, it is said that if you travel to any place on earth and you cant find an Igbo man there, you had better leave the place because it is inhabitable.

Yes, they can be loud and brash, but really, it could be confidence and courage. Like every other people, the Igbos have their short comings, but their "LongGoings" far outweigh the shortcomings.

Half brothers to the hausa-fulanis from the north, cousins to the yorubas from the west, they are the descendants of Nri, they are our family - THE IGBO TRIBE OF NIGERIA. – Till next week Thursday

GEJPosterity:
Frederick Lugard the colonial thug and renowned paedophile did not mention that this "African" he spoke of existed in the late 1800s to early 1900s - nearly 400 years after his first contact with invading Europeans.

He did not mention that this African despite having more than 5,000 years of recorded history and several great civilisations welcomed Europeans with open arms instead of war, and that it was in fact the greedy, violent and immoral European who turned him into the beast he became.

He did not mention that over 300 years of decapitations, chain beatings, chopping off of arms and feet, throwing of infants to alligators and crocodiles, forceful and permanent separation of families, kidnapping and shipping to sugar and cotton plantations in the Americas, unabated war, destruction, rape and torture, and decimation of entire populations and cultures, this "African" had lost his mind.

Frederick Lugard did not mention that the only reason he was here in the land of this "African" was to steal everything the African had and ship it to Europe via something called the Royal Niger Trading Company. He did not mention that he and several other colonial thugs such as Lewis Vernon Harcourt whom Port Harcourt was named after, were notorious paedophiles who regularly forced African women at gunpoint to give up their children to be sodomised by them. He did not mention that his mission in Africa was to create a land of people in the image of the "African" he spoke of - visionless, dependent, unintelligent, impulsive, physically strong cannon fodder for the complete exploitation of the Royal Niger Trading Company.

The only thing worse that seeing his violent anti-African warfare in text is seeing a descendant of his African victims quoting his words as if they are somehow valid.

Read your history man!

Dude am loving you(No homo). There is a phrased used by pan-Africanist for Africans like you; 'Black Conscioness'

I have read our history bro, I have read about Marcus Garvey, Malcom X, Kwame Nkurumah and the likes.

I have read about ancient African kingdoms like Asante, Oyo Empire, moors of Mali and the Kemet political order.

All this kingdoms were in existence when the so called Europeans were in the caves.

The greatest strength of the British and American right now is mental slaved.

You here Africnas saying Africans are cursed, Inferirior, backward and all sorts of derogatory statement about Africns because they are mentally enslaved and ignorant about African history.

It feels good to know that we have people like you who are awaken for its in Africans like you that we can truly become great again.

It's bad enough that we communicate in a foreign language.

Language psychology stipulates that the language you speak affect how act, think and reason.

But am sure we have heard of Japanese technology
German machine

What does he know about economic activities? Remember he failed maths and economics in the WAEC result awarded to him by his Principal. To him everything he doesn't understand is a scam and corruption.

And what would you say about a certain president that had a PHD and almost ran the country aground.

You can be educated and not intelligent

#Islamic university.

Your hatred for anything Islam is starting to consume you.

You are starting to lose it and you sure need help.

If she was seen carry bomb you will curse and and abuse Muslims, Islam and the prophets.

Now because the said student is a Muslim you call it her achievement 'Mediocre'

Your type will say Muslims are primitive, uneducated peeps, now are Muslim has done something remakable yet you call it 'Mediocre'

Am sure you won't say the same if the student was a non Muslim.

I will tell you something about hatred bro.

It will consume you to the point of depression.

Learn to love man. Your hatred for Islam and Muslims would only cause you depression not Muslims or Islam.

Madam Aisha, no need to be confused it is the same PMB you voted for that is there in aso rock and also no spirit has hijacked him.

Let's be objective for once, if GEJ was competent enough do you think people will vote for Buhari?

Have you forgotten that Buhari contestested against GEJ in 2010 election yet the people chose GEJ.

The problem with some of GEJ's supporter is blind followership, they see him as a Demi-God, they never see anything bad he does as bad.

An average Buhari supporter will never follow him blindly, the way this woman is speaking against Buhari even tho she is a Muslim and from the North shows you how objective should be irrespective of weather the person in power is from your region or practice the same religion as you.

I remember how one of GEJ's loyalist was trying to defend his 'stealing is not corruption speech'

Another was trying to defend his BBC interview where he told Ampour that there constant power supply over Nigeria.

I personally, like so many others won't vote for Buhari in the next election should a more credible candidate come up.

Patriotism means to that by the country, it doesn't mean to start by the president or any other public individual. Thomas Roosevolt.

Total Nonsense!!

He should stick to his own

Just look at how those potential IPOB terrorists were looking at him as if he is some local god

I have looked at the pictures again and I can observe that contrary to your opinion the Igbos in the picture are happy with whatever Davido is doing.

Look at the guy on the white singlet with a smile on his face with his placed on his friends shoulder.

See the friendly looks on the faces of all the Igbos in the picture

Davido looks so relaxed and comfortable in their midst.

Please tell me if they are 'Potential IPOB Terririst' as you have said would he feel that way.

We need to start showing the
Values of humanity in everything we do, say and feel.

Calling some group of people a 'Potential Terrorist' when they haven't shown any sign of any is inhuman and unfair.

Nonsense

He should be careful before those hungry looking IPOB cannibals kidnap and use him for lunch

Only an iddiot will risk his life by going to those sort of areas at this delicate time of the nation.

I think you should be proud of what Davido is doing.

Knowing and learning the culture of other people will foster peace, love, unity and tolerance.

Don't you think the Igbos will be happy that a popular Yoruba artist is showcasing and advertising the unique culture of the Igbos.

At a time when there is distrust between the Igbos and Yorubas this is a welcome development IMO

proxillin:
Listen to yourself...read what you wrote all over again...

Dubai is built cuz of Foreign investor see what it turned out to be. Lagos shouldnt be an exception.

Enough of Okiriki sellers. They are dirt to Lagos. We want real investors

In comparative economics, comparison is done based on factors like population, land, resources and some other things.

Lagos is a state that has a population of over 21million people

Dubai has 2 million

Lagos' IGR of over 20 billion monthly shows that there is a lot that can still be generated internally because of some factors eg growing population, human capital and all

When foreign investors come they employ lagosians and pay them in form of salaries .

Have you ever thought of what would happen if Lagos encourages the growing youth population in entrprenueship by creating an enabling environment with affordable housing.

Look at it for a moment. If the government decides to build over 2 millions houses in the next 4 years do you know how many young civil engineers, surveyors, mechanical engineers that will be employed.

Do you know how many entrprenues that will arise due that policy

Imagine if the event management industry is supported by the Lagos govt. have you seen how make up artist rake in millions.

Lagos unlike Dubai has a young population.

If Lagos can be developed, we won't need foreign investment but diaspora investment as Nigerians leaving outside of the country willing to come home will choose Lagos as a place to return to for so many reasons.

For the record, foreign investment has worked in Dubai has it worked in Nigeria ?

Democracy has worked in America but it's hasn't worked in Nigeria.

China and Ameria doesn't practice the same economic system but China is the second economy Gaint in the world.

What works in Dubai might not work in Lagos.

We are not emirs but lagosians.

Again this just my opinion.

Thanks.

IGBO WOMEN ARE TOO SOPHISTICATED AND HARD-WORKING..NOT LIKE SOME OTHERS WHO ARE LOCKED INSIDE THE HOUSE LAYING EGGS AND OVER POPULATING THE COUNTRY CAUSING HUMAN POLLUTION...WIVES FROM RUSTED ROOF REGIONS AND CATTLE REARERS LEARN FROM IGBO WOMEN

Tribalism just like racism is a disease of the heart.

No tribe or race is better than the other.

We are all equal. Saying one race or tribe is better than another is indirectly saying God is imperfect.

Eko Atlantic: Champagne Pearl Tower - 30 Floors & Black Pearl Tower
Eko Pearl, being built by Eko Pearl Nig. Ltd in association with *ESLA Int, is a 24 story residential tower located on the harbor front in Lagos' brand new city, "Eko Atlantic."

In addition to living in the newest prime area of Lagos, residents will enjoy first class infrastructure facilities, including: uninterrupted power, water, and security services. Amenities in Eko Pearl, in addition to what Eko Atlantic city will offer, will also include a swimming pool and tennis courts.

In economics there is something called 'opportunity cost'

Looking at the cost, time and resources used to build this city, the resources would have been used to build affordable housing, repair and build new roads, modernize lagos' transport sector and make Lagos the mega city it deserves to be.

An average Lagosian won't benefit from this project. Only the rich and foreign investors would benefit from it, thus increasing the inequality gap.

Some policies are geared towards making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

This project is one of such IMO.
