If there's contradiction on any issue, and Allah reveals a verse or verses in the Quran concerning it, then it means that the case is clear. The Quran overrules any Hadith, and there's no confusion concerning the Quran

The guy is a confused human being. Instead of him to go and learn about the methodology of interpretation of the Quran and Islamic jurisprudence, he is busy trying to justify his deluded view that is overshadowed by hatred for Islam. Reading from sources of like mind such as himself.

I will advice him to go and study his bible first.

So, I have the following questions for the op to answer:

1. What is the or explain the concept of God in Christianity?
2. Who is Jesus? God, Son of God, Son of Man?
3. If the word Christian derived from christ, which means follower christ. Then what are going to call Jesus christ himself?
4. Following the question 3 above, what is the religion of christ.
5. Why do we have gospel ACCORDING TO Mark, Matthew, Luke, John etc. Why not gospel BY JESUS? Not even gospel BY Mark, Matthew, Luke, John etc?

Please, make reference to Jesus statements from the Bible to prove your point.

A supposedly omnipotent being thought it would be good but alas was wrong...isn't that funny?
Too bad he created man with joystick thinking man would be perfect alone (probably to be wanking (self service)) buh Oops he turned out to be dead wrong, so he created woman thought again that he was helping man but ended up creating the ultimate problem for man..woooow I love this

That God is not worthy of been called God. A defective God, creating more problems for His creation. Really interesting one.

THE STATUS OF THE FACE-VEIL IN THE TRADITIONAL MUSLIM THOUGHT

[s]The veil is a very controversial subject in the traditional Muslim thought, in that despite all the books, lectures and sermons exalting it as a symbol of Islam and nobility, imploring women to veil, there is not a single verse in the scripture recommending it.[/s]

Nonetheless, the veil is so revered in the Muslim world that women have taken drastic steps like cutting off a relation, giving up their ambition or job in order to don the veil permanently. Although the veil is generally regarded as optional in the Muslim communities, family, peer, regional or clergy pressure is more than enough to compel women to adopt it. Besides, in certain region in the Muslim world like Saudi Arabia, the veil is regarded a mandatory wear for women and criminal, sinful for women to unveil before non-related men.

The use of veil have never been controversial issues in Islam. It well stated and clear without any ambiguity in the holy Quran. And various hadiths reported regarding the use of veil by muslim women.

I want to believe you intentionally post this to misguided ignorant people like you.

Then one hediot will open a thread on causes of r*pe and it's prevention, stating how the victims should not dress indecently, how they should not walk alone at night and a load of other bull crap, forgetting that that even kids are victims tocitizenry msl never be well for the useless man who r*ped this girl and all rapists alike, I wish I could be in charge of handling rapists, they'll curse the day they were conceived, bastradoos.

I don't think there is anything wrong with opening a thread on how to avoid being raped. It is just a SAFETY ISSUES. What is happening around us should gives us clues on how to prevent somethings occurring again. Since we have government that is not sensitive to the safety of her citizenry. It is the duty of everybody to keep himself or herself or those under him or her safe from the wolves in the society.

To those saying quit, quit, i put it to you, what would you do if the fiance were the one caught in the act. Would you advice the lady to quit?

Same applies.

i think They are practising their April fool

Practising April fool with the books in the guy's mouth!
Is it until you see his joystick in her puzzy before you know it is April fool gone too far?

I do not see any reason seeking advice for this. Except the guy want to be sponsoring another man's children after marriage which the guy will surely come to claim his children at the time when he will be expecting to be eating the fruits of his labour.

He could be kill as well to allow the guy to come to her life to inherit all what the guy had laboured for.

1. Men are Sexists and Chauvinistic in nature
Most men are sexists and chauvinistic in nature therefore making them selfish and loathe independent women. They make denigrating remarks about women and you don't expect a serious, logical and virtuous woman to remain with such a rètarded being.
Women in other hand, are peace loving and cool but their anti-feminism husband keeps antagonising them and they don't have an option but divorce him.





[s]Thunder fire each and every guy that quoted me on this thread[/s]. Back to Sender
Y'all didn't see that the first point raised by dude above me is anti-feminism/woman but choose to attack me for airing mine.

Bunch of hypocrites.

This is one of the reason marriages fall apart. When people are trying to explain reason for marriages been falling apart, the only thing this person can see is that those that made the comments above her comments are males. So the are biased in their thinking. Definitely, if this lady get married, the marriage will fall apart except if she change her mentality.

Now to my own contribution:

In addition to what TheRainmaker1 and onegig have rightly said, most people go into marriage not understanding what actually marriage is all about.

Firstly, you need to now what you really want out of marriage, and the partner that will be best for that your interest. And yours partner in return must have have the same interest in what to want. In other words, the topmost interest of the two person that want to get married must be the same. Hence, compatibility is of great importance in marriage.

There are 4 main things people looked for in the person they want to choose as their spouse.
1. Beauty,
2. Wealth,
3. Position, and
4. Culture / Religion.

Beauty: Beauty is relative. To every person, what make a woman beautiful or a man handsome differs. Critera such as color of the skin, height, fat or slim etc are been of consediration to different people. But this can not make a marriage to last long as beauty fails in the eye of the beholder with time.

Wealth: Wealth is what some people look for their would-be wife or husband. Is the man or woman rich? Are the parent(s) of the would-be wife or husband rich if the man or woman is yet to be? As man or woman expecting the parent to support them or they will inherit wealth after the demise of the parent(s). This as well does not make marriage last. These category of persons would have blinded their eyes against other important things that will give the marriage a happy home. After the duo have gotting married, that is when the man or the woman will realise that he or she want more things that are very important and the partner is lacking seriously.

Position: Some people cares only about the position of the would-be partner or the parent of the would-be partner in the society. That is why some women will go to any length to get married to a king, even if the king has 20 wives, just to be call a queen and be respected in the society. Later, they will discover that the king usually don't have time for them whenever they needed him sex or just to have husband and wife discussion. Likewise, women working in offices. It is even worse, if the woman have risen to a top position as manager of a bank or other establishment. Meetings all the way, no time for the house as she have to be always meet up with the work of the office.


Culture / Religion: Culture and Religion to ma are the same. This is what mode or makes an individual. There are divine and non-divine cultures.
Devine cultures are moded or guided through revelations from God almighty (Jehovah by Christians or Allah by Muslims). These are supported by scriptures sent down to mankind by God through His Prophets and Messengers. These scriptures states the commandments of God to mankind on how man will relate to God and how man will relate to one another for mankind to live in peace between them and God and within themselves.

Non-divine cultures are cultures that emanates from mans thought and how things should be. In this case, given consideration to any Superior Being through any form of revelation, be it Bible or Quran or Torah, is of less important. A lots of us falls into this category even though we claim to be either a christian or a muslim. When we want to make any decision in life, what the Bible or the Quran says is of no importance. Hence, we are been hypocritical about the religion/culture we are claiming to be.

The only thing that can help us to have a good and lasting marriage is the divine cultures. It is the only way of life (Culture) that can guaranty use a happy marriage if we will be sincere in following it and not be appearings as Men of God but in us worst that Satan.

In conclusion, we all have to go back to our creator (Jehovah or Allah) to seek guidiance on how to live the best way of life with God almighty and with ourselves. Then will be learn how to be a good husband/father and a good wife/mother.

naijainfogalery:
and these are the same people that will be shouting they want sharia. you better than God for democracy that your thing would have been rendered useless

This where people like you gets things wrong making comments out of sentiments. With CAN and Christian clerics collection bribe from the president just for him to get back to office. So, this is what your clergy men want by saying christ for all be year so and so, corruption.

Please, let's avoid religious bigotry and extremism when trying to address issues.

What the man did is totally against the teaching of Islam including the spiritual business he is practicing. Let me tell you this, people like this soothsayer that call them alfas or men of God will never ever want sharia at all, because their evil work will not strive in such an environment. People like him will be against the sharia, may be not openly, but given support for the people against it.

Part of what makes evil doers strive in our society is as a result of the people's ignorant of what the region says, our gullibility and superstitious way of life. We claim to be Christians and Muslims but our lifestyle is contrary to the teachings of the Quran and the bible.

To me most of us, be you a muslim or a christian, we are all bunch of hypocrites.

Seanixking:
The new commandment jesus christ gave was love thy neighbour as u love thyself....
#Smile out

Who says so. After Jesus have said in the bible that he has not come to destroy the law but to fulfil it. Come on why are we twisting the teaching of Christ to our own selfish desire.

When he was asked concerning the first commandment, this is what he said in the book of MARK 12: 28-34

28
KJV:And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29
KJV:And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30
KJV:And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31
KJV:And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32
KJV:And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33
KJV:And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34
KJV:And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

UnknownT:
Even on this thread in the Islam for Muslim section that Mac updates and locks www.nairaland.com/1935933/muslim-singles-matching-service-msms , about match making that I follow, I have come to realize that only Yoruba Muslims seek for 'match'. Is it that there are no Hausa/Fulani Muslim seeking for wife/husband on Nairaland or do they consider Match-making as haram?

Hausa and fulani Muslims need not to come to nairaland thread. Expecially, their girls because they, mostly all their girls, have accepted polygamous nature of Man. While the yoruba girls have not in spite of the approval by the religion of Islam. Hence, the rush for match making marriage.

Nowenuse:
Fulaman, i guess u are a muslim, or aren't u?

Then u have ur own lapses because islam is not the ancestral culture or religion of ur ancestors rather it belongs to the arabs.
So u are still not a pure fulani in a sense, rather an 'Islamized fulani' cos there are still fulani traditionalists who keep on to the ancestral culture of their fathers and i guess u are not one.

point of correction. Islam is not the culture of Arab but a devine way of life prescribed by God almighty to mankind. The messenger is just an Arab.

Moreover, I think the contributors on this topic have moved away from the op topic.

The only person that have hit the nail in the head is the individual that state that culture Is the contribution.

Also, the intermarriage between yorubas and other tribe in the southern part of the country is mostly between Yoruba man and the other tribe woman. This is because the women from other tribe of the south love the way yorubas threat their women. For any yoruba girl to marry any man other tribe in the south, the man probably was born in the south western part of the country. And must have drop their culture or wash off from his head most of their cultural practices.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting that online. You didn't even try to conceal the writer's name and name of school.

What kind of teacher are you. I think you should be sacked and be without a job for two years. Is there not anything like confidentiality act in that state?

You are very Phoolish mister. Your likes should not be allowed near children cos you do not understand what teaching profession is all about. You are an embarrassment. I hope the right people see this post, find you out and give you the treatment that you deserve. It's your like that make kids develop apathy to education with your criticisms and stup..idity.

Do you know if the op is a corper. And if he is a corper, who says he wants to teach before government post him to school. Has he been trained on teaching and teaching ethics.

Someone has suggested I buy a tricycle (marwa), then give out to someone on hire purchase. While the package sounds good, I'm thinking of still getting better deals especially in businesses that involve 'buying and selling'.

Please help a brother out with ideas. I don't wanna 'blow' this money.

Hello bros. If you know you do not have the time to monitor a business yourself, better you keep your money in the bank and cultivate an habit of saving.

Buying tricycle (marwa), or a car for transportation and deliver certain amount of money every day or weekly will be suicidal. If you want to go ahead with it, just make sure you have prepared all the necessary things for your family in case you fall dead, including you grave, so as to avoid your family from any cost to throw you into the pit.

A dry cleaning business won't be a bad idea

Where is the light? May be light is constant for your side.

It is part of the anointing and miracle. At least, the singles are now blessed with husband and the married that are yet to a child are also blessed. The secret of the married women husband impotency is covered.

All is special anointing from the pastor's joystick.

A girl or a lady can get married at the age she can get impregnated. Maturity and proper training from her parent about herself and marital life will be an added advantage to her.

But nowadays, parents rarely cares about their female child or children until they get impregnated.

Are you saying you are from a motherless home. And you can't discuss this with your mother or your father or both?

Loosing your virginity does not signify love nor will it make any man to love you. So, save your virgin to after marriage. I bet you you won't regret it if keep your virginity till after wedding.

I don't think you know what you want in life. Do you want boyfriend or husband? If you want by you know who to choose. But, if you need a husband the 30 yrs old guy will be only your option if the younger guy of 23 yrs old his not ready for marriage.

I bet you, the younger guy may not be ready for marriage now but the older guy, from your post, is ready but do not want to push you against you will.

If it is sexual urge that is driving you, why not discuss with the older guy about marriage and you can get your urge satisfied all the time with him.

As per the guy not always being around in your events. What did you expect from a serious business guy that you are yet to key yourself into his life by marrying him. If you marry him or after marrying him, you will put you into consideration anytime he wants to travel. You even travel together if he has the money.

Mind you, gift from a man or any action from a man you called caring and loving before marriage is only a game played by men to get what they want. It could be good or bad. Loosing virginity before marriage is totally a bad idea. Definitely, you will regret it except if the man that deflower you is the one that marry you and you yourself have not been sleeping around with guys . Because, that the two ways most problems women do have after marriage starts from.

Moreover, love from the heart of men are not real yet until after marriage. It is the women themselves that have to plant the love into the heart of men through their good home training and morale background that follows the women into their marital life. This start by the man being the one that disvirgin you after the marriage and not before the marriage . This increase the trust he has for you and increase the marriage bond.

This is my advise to you and all the singles reading ladies reading this post.

Inform your friend about it. But let him know that he need to handle the case maturely, in terms of carrying out investigation about it.

What exactly do you want? A boyfriend or husband. If it is a boyfriend, there are a lot of guys that will be willing to ease their tension in you if you give them the opportunity and they dump you later.

But if it a husband, you need to be patient and work on yourself. Your problem may be because you think you are beautiful but beauty is relative in the world of men.

In other words, there is physical beauty and internal beauty. Most men that are looking for a girl or a wife material looks beyond physical beauty. They look for inner beauty that radiates outwardly. This kind of beauty is what defines the characters of an individual.

Perhaps you need to add this inner beauty to your outward beauty for you to get a reasonable man.

Men this days do not want women that will at the end be problematic for them.

So, check yourself first and stop looking at your outward beauty.

Moreover, discuss with someone that truly knows you well to tell you the truth about yourself and not what you want to hear. I know your friends should be able to tell you something about yourself. But unfortunately, you women always lied to yourself, fearing you might be offended. This bad attitude is come to women a lot, not willing to discuss the truth with themselves but telling you lies that you yourself want to hear. You all, mostly hate the truth.

So, check yourself and consult a sincere person about yourself.

From what I can deduced from the above contributions and comments, you should go for the micro finance job.
You can also see from people with experience from the same micro finance bank and the analysis of the prospect of working as a loan officer, to me it is better you go for the micro finance job and dump diamond bank. To me, there is no challenge in the diamond bank job other than a computer operator which a secondary school student can do with easy, talk of a university graduate.

My comment is not about igbo marrying late but to all people who think acquisition of wealth can bring about happy marriage.

People get married for 4 main reason.
1. Wealth,
2. Status or position in the society,
3. Beauty, and
4. Religion.

Base on the reason most guys are stating, wealth or money do not give you happy marriage. I knew some people with a lost of money but living a miserable life. They can only come out to express their ordeal in their marriage.

A lot of people who have no much money want to be living the life of another people by copying their lifestyle.

For instant, someone said money for baby food is high. If I may ask the individual, before the advent of baby food in the market, what was the baby food available.

Because we are not ready to live our lives without trying to copy others.

Also, I lot of people going into marriage this days are not ready for marriage, especially the woman. And men don't make things easier. We love to lure woman by flaunting wealth we do not have.

If marriage are founded on sincerity, and people goes for marriage counselling prior to their marriage from a realist counsellor, marriage will be a sweet thing everybody will be longing for instead of swinging their joystick all around before marriage, even make thing worse.

I think it is a scam. But this can lead to your death.

I ones receive an sms of such. But i am certain that i did not apply for any job. Moreover, if any company want to call me for an interview, it will not be in a place like iyana ipaja as the sms also says. And the HR of the company will rather give me a call than sending me an sms.

So, beware. This is the time of election. Politicians are looking for people for their spiritual sacrifice.

But, if you still want to go, in case it might be real. You need to go there with some bodygaurds havings thier own weapons and charms/bible/Quran for protection in case things want to go wrong there.

Best of luck

Good day,

Please, can you help me to check this VIN number

Prophecies have to be made so as to allow easy rigging to be made. They know that nigerian are highly gullible ones it is taken to religious ream. Our thinking facility will cease to work and just start taking all sort of lies poured on us like someone being beaten by a demon (madness).

The only reason people bypass their meters is because of the fraudulent bill PHCN use to bring to people's house. Bills you wonder how they arrived at.

I used to pay my bills upfront before until PHCN show me pepper. Before I don't pay more than 1000 naia a month. Because of that, I may pay upto 8000 naira on a bill just to avoid going to pay every month. So, at a point in time, the amount of credit I have with PHCN have risen to almost 12000 naira.

Around August of that year, the bill suddenly rise to 4500 naria by placing my bill on estimated bills which has not been so before. Within 3 months, the credit I have turns to debit.

I went to PHCN office to lodge a complain about the estimated bills been brought to my house. The readings on my meter do not tally with the bills PHCN is bringing for my electricity consumption.

I went to their office along Isawo road, Owutu, Ikorodu area of lagos state. I was directed to PHCN office on lagos road, besides 1stBank. I was told to write a letter of complain which I did. But nothing comes out of it. I had to suffer paying bills which I did not use.

I had to discussion with the guy that use to bring the bill then on what I can do to normalise the bill. Which he help me to achieve with some change anyway. Thereafter, they stop bring estimated bill to m6 house. But, I had to pay 1st all the debt that have accrued on my bill before the correction can be made. This bills ran up to 24000 naira, because I was waiting for the bill to be correct before payment.

I can you now convinced a person that have undergone such an ordeal not to bypass the meter so as to get back what have been illegally taken from him by PHCN.

Why is PHCN not distributing prepaid meters. I have been to their office several times on that just to avoid the paper bills which made me feel being cheated all the time.

Anytime I went to their office regard prepaid meter, I will be told is not available but directed to another person that can get me the prepaid meter through illegal means by paying the guy 30,000 naira. But I am waiting till the time the meter will be available because going through this illegal way encourages corruption to continue to strive.

The only reason people bypass their meters is because of the fraudulent bill PHCN use to bring to people's house. Bills you wonder how they arrived at.

I used to pay my bills upfront before until PHCN show me pepper. Before I don't pay more than 1000 naia a month.

Thank you for this write up.

There is no positive benefits having sex before marriage other than satisfying ones sexual urge.

It is so disheartened that women are mostly the victim of this sex before marriage. Some may be lucky to get married to the same guy that that took their virginity, but mostly end up been dumped with or without pregnancy. Still yet other wouldn't learnt, but say that will not be my portion in Jesus name, when actually you are acting against the teaching of Jesus christ and the teacher of Quran as in Islam religion.

At the end of the day, women start to blame men for everything, which includes the emotional effect they suffered from been dumped.

I hope women expecially will learn from this, because one's you have sex before marriage and you are dumped. Any man that eventually marries you will not trust you when some people that are expert in home braking decided to decend on your marriage. They only need to tell your husband that they have been seeing you with a man. Or arranged with your old boy friend to one day accidentally cross you on the road for a chat while they are hidden somewhere taking pictures.

Moreover, you make it easier for some men to sent you parking from your home because they never trust you as you where not a virgin before you where married.

I hope we will all learn and leave by God's commandments.
