Logically, one should provide evidence for what he or she claims exists. If I told you a demon sucks your blood every 12am, would that stop you from sleeping tonight? Is that an idea that will cause you worry?

Hell has no evidence whatsoever.. heaven too. Afterall, unlike human works, they weren't build from concrete. You can conquer it.. when I joined this forum in 2005, I was still a Christian. I didnt drop Christianity till 2011 after living in India for a year.

That fear takes time to get rid of.... I always used to feel there was someone else watching me, noting everything I did... Recording my sins and all.. joy came when I realized that was me... And not some Sky Daddy in heaven forming monitoring spirit.

Wish you the best.

One of the things I regret most about my life is that i left religion’s shackles too late.

Imagine all the time that i have wasted at vigils and weekly services, not counting the whole wasted Sunday.

Add the covert hatred for others who might be your enemies and are responsible for the delay in promotions.

Now add all those years in the choir, first as a member, a drummer then a coordinator with the necessary practices and extra services for weddings and other special occasions.

But looking back, i am happy i have dropped the shackles. I no longer see people as potential spiritual enemies. I am no longer guided by the fear of damnation.

Its better late than never.

I saw a thief in action two days ago. It happened at the main gate of a 4-Star hotel called BEGONIA hotel in Oyo town. The hotel is located along Oyo-Ibadan expressway.

About 8:20 pm that day, I was passing by the main gate of the said hotel when a guy standing in front of the gate signalled to me for a ride; I'm into Okada riding business. The street was without any passerby at the time except me, who was loitering to pick up passengers. The guy asked me to wait and he quickly went back into the hotel and resurfaced about 3 seconds later with a loaded 50 litres jerrican probably filled with diesel or engine oil. He quickly sat on my bike, dragged the jerrican, and placed it on the passenger's foot rack.

"Speed off in this direction", he shouted at me without telling me his destination let alone giving me the chance to negotiate the price for the journey.

"To where?" I asked.

"Express", he shouted at me again with the air of mounting irascibility.

That 'Express' he mentioned is a trailer park along the expressway, a thriving market for bunkered petroleum products. The direction he asked me to take was not straightforward. We had to follow some obscure streets before getting back to the expressway.

Then the insults began when he asked me to increase speed. I told him I was being cautious to avoid an accident because his heavy load was not balanced and I was using great efforts to steer the bike to safety. Then he said other riders have been engaging in high speed despite the load with ease.

Speaking my mother's tongue, "Your ilk should never be found as an Okada rider because only old men approaching the grave ride this way. I needed to get out of sight within split-seconds and you were acting like a dumb rider", he said.

He later asked me to stop in front of a shop, took the loaded jerrican inside and came back 5 minutes later. He told me his new destination, while raining more invectives on me. I had to be patient with him so that he could pay his transport fare in full -- someone that could boldly steal in a location with CCTV cameras may decide not to pay to me the amount of money I was yet to tell him. You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that the guy, in connivance with an insider, just stole something from the hotel.

I checked the hotel's website for a contact through which I can report the theft or whatever that is, and I found an email and phone numbers probably under the manager's control. If they are putting their CCTV to good use, they won't need me to report the theft. I was not trying to report the theft as a good citizen; I needed to get back at the thief because of the insults I suffered without being able to reply him. Good riddance!

You write well (compared to the average Nigerian of today’s educational process)

Consider taking some online lessons on fiction writing and possibly start writing.

AdeniyiA:
You still have little knowledge about cryptos bro, do you know what's called airdrops? . He could be having wallets with money in them... Real airdrops means free money. If you can't help someone don't condemn them. Life happens, be humble

Adeniyi Humility,

Before you conclude on another person’s understanding of a subject on the internet, maybe some review of the facts would help.

Waiting for airdrops is not crypto trading.

But since you have come here, your donation to the OP would go a long way.

Extremely dangerous.

In saner climes, that vehicle would be declared unsafe and impounded.

BusinessPlan22:
if he don't want to help him, move on brother

Are you even logical?

How do you trade in crypto without even having funds to trade with?

Dont go the emotional route with me cos it doesn’t pull any hair from my ass.

So you do crypto and forex.

Tell me, which money do you use to buy crypto or forex before you sell to make a margin?

Cos i am not understanding.

If you have an iphone 13 pro max today, does that mean your Binance account would magically have 10 BTC?

Optimistic4life:
I'm trying hard to live a life free from sin and sexual immorality and I am doing pretty well but of recent, my hormones/body have been raging and I am finding it difficult to cope.

It's 18months I have been separated and there is no getting back together.

Were you ever in my situation, how did you overcome without involving in sex/masturbation?

I just need some words of encouragement.

Its really not easy and it has become some sort of distraction.

The reason I do not want to have a male friend is because of my fear for God.

People are telling you to be strong and some are even going religious.

Dear, listen to your heart.

If you want sex, go for it. Look for a male you think is matured enough and flow with the rhythm.

Have a no strings attached relationship. Live life.

Above all, be happy.

Very good video.

Rashduct4luv:
When people hear too much propaganda and lies they actually take it for the truth! All your statement had no proof in reality! Some were even ilogical.

This is the typical lies spread mostly by Christians! There are several wars which can be offensive or defensive. There are many wars whereby the captives were freed and some ransomed! A religion of over a Billion people from every continent! Allaahu Akbar!

The reason we are all created is to worship Allah alone. One who worships Allah is no doubt better than one who is against Allah's worship. This is the religion of Islam and similar is found in some other religions!



1. It says in a hadeeth qudsi: “Allaah, may He be exalted, said: ‘There are three whose opponent I will be on the Day of Resurrection, and whomever I oppose, I will defeat … A man who sold a free man and consumed his price.’” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2227).

2. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islam)” [Muhammad 47:4]. During the battle of Badr the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) accepted ransoms from the mushrik prisoners of war and let them go, and the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) let many of the prisoners go for free, releasing them with no ransom. During the conquest of Makkah it was said to the people of Makkah: “Go, for you are free.”

3. During the campaign of Banu’l-Mustaliq, the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married a female prisoner from the defeated tribe so as to raise her status, as she was the daughter of one of their leaders, namely the Mother of the Believers Juwayriyah bint al-Haarith (may Allaah be pleased with her). Then the Muslims let all of these prisoners go.

Islam is not thirsty for the blood of prisoners, nor is it eager to enslave them.

The best companion for a Muslim is a Muslim. For example, how will i have an ally who kneels for the image of Mary when i believe that is idolatry in Islam?

Yes, this claim is common not only in Islam and it's only to some extent not all.

This is another lie spread by Christians. Are Southern Christians better than the Hausa Christians?
Sectarianism exist as a result of Ignorance and sometimes arrogance. I once attended a quiz competition among another tribe. My group won and i answered most of the questions. They were amazed a person from my tribe had such knowledge. Hence i was asked if there were Muslims is Ogun State or even the entire southwest. This is as a result of their ignorance!

I would have loved to be ruled by Islam than all this corrupted democracy you have all around. I think you can see the western devils with their propaganda against Russia? Does USA has the moral standing to critique them? Such is the world you want?
Pray China colonise you one day then you will know what Palestinians have been facing against Israel!

Cheers!

You say the person who worships Allah is a better person than the one who doesnt. Yet this thread is about the acclaimed equality by islam.

How can we all be equal when some people by the simple fact that they chose not to worship Allah makes them inferior and subject to slavery or condemnation?

You say the best comparison for a muslim is another muslim. This is exactly what i said in my previous post. I said islam sees equality theoretically only among muslims but sees other humans as inferior, which you just corroborated.

You keep making the assumption that every person who tries to question the illogical stance of the islamic fable is a Christian. This unfortunately reveals your limited horizon on the concept of religion and human diversity. Yes, islam and christianity has a large number of members with a huge majority of them inheriting the religion. However, islam or christianity are not the only religions or belief systems in the world. A lot of religious people are leaving. Religion would with time become only a cultural thing if the muslims dont blow up everything before then

You want to be ruled by islam but you prefer to apply to USA for visa instead of Afghanistan.

Suddenly you bring politics into the grand scheme of things. You mention China but try to ignore the fact that islam spread is strictly forbidden in China, possibly accounting for their growth. You mention Russia. Heck you will even mention North Korea or anything against USA. Unfortunately for you, this conversation is not about current world politics but the falsehood of equality in islam as painted by the OP.

As I rang the doorbell ...

6 months later at the medical test in Dubai to confirm your residence, it was discovered you are now HIV positive and whisked immediately to the airport for onward free deportation to Nigeria.

As your land in Lagos and put on your Nigerian sim , a text message comes in from Debbie. She confirms she is 6 months pregnant but has been trying to reach you.

Rashduct4luv:
This opinion above is not correct. Slavery was caused by warfare, debt, kidnapping/raid, poverty and need.

This is not impossible. Bandits can enslave those they kidnap who are better than them socially.
It seems all your premises are logically incorrect.



Nigerians do discriminate with respect to religion and ethnicity! So where is the slavery?



I would have expected you to bring clear evidences for all these in the texts of Islam.
The post is even about racism not slavery! You are yet to prove the relation between Slavery and racism!

You started from a position to defend islam despite glaring historical facts. This wouldn’t allow you accept alternative opinions no matter how factual they are.

Islam spread mainly through warfare; the so called jihad. Vanquished communities were enslaved in the aftermath of such ‘evangelisms’ and it is a fact that islam tenets approved of this gruesome practice.

Islam gives legality to discriminate against non muslims and even sees them as lesser, both in current status and heavenly reward. There are quran quotes to back this up.

There was a case when Hazrat Maymunah, one of Mohammed’s wives decided to free one of her numerous slaves. Mohammed told her she would have gotten more blessings if she gave the slave girl to one of the wife’s uncle. Come to think of this scenario with an unbiased mind and determine how low of a value a slave girl had with Muhammed.

Quran 3.28 states clearly that muslims should not take non-muslim as allies…a clear discrimination on the kind of people to associate with.

The theoretical concept of equality in islam implies islamic equality which means equality amongst muslims. This implies that muslims are equal to one another but other groups are not equal to muslims.

The irony in the above equality concept is the fact that there is a serious discrimination in the muslim world. Fulani muslims for example see Yoruba Muslims as inferiors. Arabs see other muslims as inferiors. Even the sectarian cold war between shia and sunni is there. Equality remains a theory in islam.

A lot of blacks should be thankful that europeans had the upper hand in colonizing most of Africa and the middle east by 1900. The freedom to practice islam as a freeborn today was not provided by the islamic territories who thrived on slavery late into the 1960s legally and still today illegaly.

Cheers

why won't he hype AK47 ? The most reliable assault rifle in history

Ak47 is old. There are other variants from from same company that have replaced it.

DREAMZZZ:
regardless of what the op said that sniper rifle is as old as world war 2. makes the russian army look unsophisticated, have u seen an American sniper military rifle ?

Age doesn’t matter with bolt action rifles.

[quote author=wwwihy post=111274089]No wonder Ukraine is beating them on the ground[/quote]That’s a sniper rifle.

If you dont know, ask.

IGBOSON1:
If one is so naive as to accept to help deliver a package on arrival at their destination, they still have one slight chance to save themselves as customs may ask if they have anything in their possession that’s not theirs that they’re helping someone deliver! I suppose this is only if the sniffer dogs don’t find it first!

Nigerian custom officers are not that polite. They stand like vultures at the exit from the baggage area looking for whom to devour.

Once they sight a victim, they just yell ‘open the bag’ and rummage through.

The real work i think is done by the NDLEA guys behind the scene .

I don’t like our customs guys one bit….and that fabled woman….chai

This is why i dont accept packages when traveling.

If you want to send ordinary Maggi through me, best i can do is help you buy it myself.

There is even a menace of Nigerians in Dubai who will walk up to you within the airport and ask you to help them take items to lagos. There would be someone waiting at the airport to collect. I always refuse.

You can be a broomstick for all that matters.

Using tribe to delineate is a form of low IQ.

mundojune2012:
Even though she alledged that the bible is inaccurate, the truth is that billions of people believes in it's accuracy and relies on it. How many people can rely on her?

One of the weakness of the human mind is the need to believe.

The fact that many people have a common opinion does not make the opinion right.

Note that if you keep telling yourself the same lie over and over again, at a point, you ,might start believing it.

WizkidNews:
I have 100-110k to spend on a phone by month end. would you advice i go for iPhone 8+ or a brand new redmi note 11. I require at Least 7-8 hour on screen time a day.

I dont know much about the Redmi but i know for sure that if you dont like your iphone 8 after one week of use, you can sell it and still retain your money.

Make sure it is a factory unlocked phone with no crack.

To confirm it is factory unlock, tell the seller to do a full factory reset. If it sees your sim card immediately after the reset without any extra activation, it is factory. If the seller doesn’t want to reset, kindly carry your money elsewhere.

Test bluetooth, wifi, calls, hotspot, browsing, and your ability to log in to iCloud before you leave. Please know what you are doing with the iCloud. Remember password and email used. This is not android’s gmail.

Test charging, test camera, test fingerprint unlock, test audio.

Finally check the serial number of the phone via checkcoverage.apple.com

Be careful of computer village boys. Some guys can show you a phone then swap it with fufu case. If it is not a shop and bank transfer, i dont advise.

In summary, take necessary precautions then get the iPhone

Good afternoon Nairaland family..

I dont know why, but whenever i'm having sex, i'm always moaning loud. It is not as if i am doing it intentionally, but that is what my new guy dosn't understand.

Our neighbours now knows the number of times we have sex a day because of my moaning, and he dosn't like it, and even me myself, i'm begining to hate the way i moan during sex..

He said that if he must contineu with me, then i must learn to stop moaning loud during sex.. But the truth is that it has become part of me, as when ever i'm enjoying sex, i don't know when i starts to moan.. I dont even remmember to have moan when i'm done having sex.

Some people may think i do it intentionally, as that is what he keep sayin, but believe me if i tell you that i don't remember doing it.

Nairaland ladies, can it be control, how can i go about learning to control it?... The ealier the better for me.

Thanks

Why do you want to stop something so beautiful?

Instead of your bf to learn how to brung out the different ringtones….

I love girls that moan naturally and believe me, if i was your bf, I would make an opera out of you.

If only…

Bobmarie:
Why shouldn’t she speak with entitlement? If the tables were turned would you advise your brother to take back any girl that slept with someone else the one week he wasn’t with her?

If they are meant for each other, they can always come back.

Sex is over-rated in case you dont know.

Apart from the health and moral grounds of maintaining a single partner, there is no justification that it should lead to the destruction of a relationship.

Would you like to be condemned for ever because of a mistake you made in the past?

Faithqueen:
I just found out that my husband has two children. The mummy of his kids is his spiritual mother's daughter. They call each other sister and brother.

My husband has been using social media to do other things as well. He had an affair six months after our marriage. He recently had a baby with her six months ago. She is living with a guy and calling him husband. All of my husband's outside brothers and sisters know; except for history sisters that share the same mummy and daddy. I don't know if the spiritual mummy knows about it.

My husband has been riding her around in our car calling her his wife and introducing her to Apostles, pastors, etc. When we married we were told that committing a duty is punished up to seven years.

The gentleman does not even know. I need advice on what to do. He has been telling other women to come to Nigeria and marry him.

Apparently he is scamming people. It will be frown upon if the mummy amd daddy of the woman finds out that he married me traditionally and we had a white wedding. I remember now two months before we got married hearing a lady making noises on the phone. I should have known better.

Advice please.

If you dont have any good job or business, you need to as a matter of urgency focus on that from this moment on.

If you have a side business or a business that cannot even fend for you and your kids, you need to start thinking of upgrading that level immediately.

Under no circumstance must you confront you husband before you become financially independent.

This is the time to start showering him with love and care. Let him invest in your business and independence.

If you allow your emotions or pastors to mislead you, you will suffer more despair in the years to come.

Be smart.

Build yourself and your independence first.

Only then can you now confront him.

But also ask yourself, what are you not offering anymore? How has been your sex life with him? Are you always complaining of been too tired for sex? How's the food? hows the home environment? Look inwards and see the genesis.

Religion can only comfort your mind at the moment, it wont provide practical solutions.

Get the money bag first before you get the sword.

Good morning to you all my beautiful and handsome nairalander, my question goes like this as a visitor how do you know that you are no longer welcome in a home....

If this thought ever crosses your mind, then you have already overstayed your welcome.

missimelda01:
So I made a post earlier about how my partner wasn't interested in growing emotionally, well we continued having issues because of his behaviors (complains a lot, petty, prefers to keep malice instead of communicating and so much more). I finally decided to break up with him.

The next day after the break up, he messaged me on Instagram (I blocked him on every other platform and forgot this), he started begging and promised to communicate better. I didn't pay attention to him until after two days, then we started calling on Instagram and it was as if things were getting better.

My birthday was two days ago, he came to my house with gifts, said he had made plans for them before we broke up...lol he ask me out again and I said yes (don't blame me, I find it difficult to detach from people I love).

I was at his place and was using his computer to work and messages kept coming in from one particular girl, I was ignoring it until it was too hard to ignore, opened it and saw the shock of my life (his mac is sync with his iPhone). This guy had unprotected sex with a girl he met on a dating app the same week we ‘broke up’

I'm angry, disappointed and confused.
What do men want? You meet a girl who's loyal, independent, cares for your family, plans with you and you still ruin everything.

P.S this guy was so in love with me, he's been so pressed about meeting my mum, he already knows my siblings...I’m beginning to think he has mental problems.

You speak with a sense of entitlement.

You obviously are the saint in that relationship while the guy is a devil's photocopy.

You even think he has mental problems.

having unprotected sex with anyone (including you) is bad.

If you dont want to end up marrying one of your church pastors, you need to get down from that high horse and understand that no one is perfect and there is no sin that is not forgiveable in a relationship except assault.

Be calming down. You are not the only fine girl in his life. You wont be the only fine girl in any guy's life.

Learn to face your battles instead of running from them

i discovered that my tecno spark has lost quality in camera quality. could the fault be from my sight?

is there scratch or dirt on the lens?

Reminds me of an iphone 8 i bought very cheap because ear speaker volume was too low.

I got home and used cotton bud plus isopropyl to clean the endless makeup and grime accumulation and it worked flawlessly.

check the rear.

MadamVanessa:




Why all these? is it because Obiano is an igbo man? I am not in support of what Obiano did, but what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

We have more thieves in the north who are governors and ex governors ,but EFCC will not drag them , they show more strength with the igbos.


This is a clear message for the Igbo leaders, no matter how you lick the ass of the northerners ,they will deal with you when the time is right, but shield and protect their own thieves same thing with the westerners. I can bet with my clit that nothing will happen to Gandollar and the short midget terrorist even after their tenure as state governors


Also, Can anybody tell me why Tinubu is still walking freely upon all the money he has stolen ? And this is a thief that is warming up to take from a disaster called Buhari.

Things like this make me to love MNK more.

Igbo politicians are so myopic seriously.

Dont play the ethnic card. It is not an intelligent path.

If he is clean, this is his chance to prove it. If he is corrupt, let him pay for the crime.

Rashduct4luv:
How is slavery related to racism being discussed in the original post?

Very good.

The origins of slavery is rooted in the belief that some humans are of lesser stock than some.

People dont enslave their social equals or superiors. You need to actually subjugate an individual or his community before you can even think of enslaving him/them.

Before you can enslave, you must first discriminate.

We can all agree that any society that practices slavery is a discriminatory society.

If Islam can tacitly support slavery, sexual rape of female slaves and genital mutilation of black male slaves whilst condemning the off-springs of slaves to slavery except their parent's owners decide to free them, then the OP is actually contradicting himself/herself with such a theoretical position.

Cheers.

huptin:
What about battery life? I love Iphones but for heavy users like me, the battery life can be very frustrating.

you are right.

The older phones like the ones i mentioned have a relatively smaller battery than their android counterparts.

The newer iphones have bigger batteries.

It however comes down to OS efficiency. Despite their smaller batteries, they last longer than androids of the same battery capacity.

The practical solution is to possibly get a small power bank for the random evening juice up before you get home.

one sweet thing with iphone batteries is that they charge fast and usually dont require a full overnight charging.
