She fine pass you. You don enter one chance of being a jealous husband..

There's no such thing as "a harsh version of islamic law". When it comes to Islamic law there is no difference between Al-Shabab, Boko Haram, IS or any other muslim country like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc. They're all the same.

After years of dulling in the art of romance,it's good to see that we african men are finally stepping up our game.
Congrats to the lovely couple.Have a Happy Married Life.

Adewale Ayuba, The Fuji Musician Gives His Life to Christ ...

Renowned Bonsue Fuji King, Adewale Ayuba has revealed how God has been opening doors of blessings for him since giving his life to Christ, that is, becoming born again Christian.
Ayuba, a Muslim Alhaji, gave this revelation during the February 2016 Thanksgiving Service, tagged ‘Last Dance and Selfie Sunday, at the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, City of David, Lagos.

Speaking before a large congregation during the Testimony Time, Ayuba said, “From last week, I have been feeling somehow. I realized that the Holy Spirit in me has been telling me to go out and say something and give testimony to people that can listen. I started with my driver in the car. For no reason, I just told him, Saheed, God has done this and this for me.”

He noted, “The one that really surprised me happened three days ago. I got a loan from one bank. I was here (RCCG, City of David) December 31, I told my God, before the end of January; I want to repay this money. To God be the glory, I made the payment last week. I thank God for His mercy. I have so much to say but I thank God for everything he has done for me.

Ayuba, who said he had been scared of being killed if he reveals that he is now a Christian said, “Because of the genre of music that I do, the orientation is from Muslim, I thought if I profess to being a Christian, I am not going to live for ten days. But something kept telling me, Wale, I chose you, I gave you your talent, I am the only one that can hide you from evils.”

“One day, I called the Alfas to my house. I told them, ‘we are all serving the same God. Anabi (Prophet) Issah is Jesus Christ, Abraham is Ibrahim, Moses is Yissah, I am choosing Moses and am choosing Jesus Christ. And the head of the alfas in my house said is that what you want to do? I said yes.
He said, ‘but you gave all your children Muslim names, how are you going to do that. Then I told him, I said, For the first time, I am telling you this though I know I am not supposed to tell you this. All my children go to church, I am the only one in this house that is still practicing Islam. I am the one that gave them the freedom. I gave them the support.

While revealing that he has always made it a point of duty to attend church service every December 31 and if he didn’t go he would feel as if he was going to die, said, “From 2010 when I gave my life to Christ, it has been as if
God just opened doors of blessings for me. I thank God for choosing me. I thank God for calling me. I thank God for giving me the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and my saviour. I am proud to be a Christian.

“Before this, I had a lot of Alfas, (Muslim clerics) when I was still practicing Islam. They come to my house to pray for me. At the end of the day, after two hours of their hot prayers, immediately they must have left my house, as if the prayers they have made, God was not going to answer them, I would go upstairs and carry my Bible and sanctify the prayers.

“I have been doing this for countless years, but my wife kept saying Wale, why are you doing this to yourself, why are you scared?

She didn’t even know that I was scared then because I was thinking if I turn around and tell people I am now a Christian, I might get killed because I have been to Hajj. In my album, I had portrayed myself as a Muslim that
people believe I am a Muslim, but I know in my inner mind that I am not a Muslim.

At the end of his testimony, Ayuba sang a song in his usual Bonsue Fuji genre to the admiration of the congregation.
Here are the lyrics sang by Ayuba at the church…..

“Whenever you see me sing about Jesus Christ, He is the owner of my soul
“Whenever you see me talk about Jesus Christ, He is the owner of my soul
“He’s the owner, he’s owner, He’s the owner of my soul
“He’s the owner, he’s owner, He’s the owner of my soul”

What do you know about religion?

A lot:

MUHAMMAD'S SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS

When Muhammad began receiving revelations, his first impression of these revelations was that they were demonic.

Muhammad was so traumatized by his encounter with "Gabriel" that he repeatedly tried to commit suicide by hurling himself off a cliff.

According to Muslim sources, Muhammad once delivered a revelation from the devil (the "Satanic Verses".
Muhammad claimed that he was a victim of a magic spell that gave him delusional thoughts and false beliefs.

MUHAMMAD'S PROBLEMS WITH PAGANISM AND IDOLATRY

Islam promotes idolatry (e.g., bowing down to the Kaaba and kissing the black stone).

Islam promotes pagan rituals (e.g., the pilgrimage to Mecca).

Islam deifies Muhammad by requiring unconditional obedience to him and by requiring Muslims to talk to him during their daily prayers.

MUHAMMAD'S PROBLEMS WITH VIOLENCE

After leaving Mecca, Muhammad supported his religion by robbing people.

Muhammad ordered his followers to torture a man named Kinana to find out where some money was hidden.

Muhammad then had Kinana killed, and took his wife for himself.

Muhammad commanded his followers to kill critics of Islam.

Muhammad ordered his followers to kill apostates, even if they had good reasons for leaving Islam.

The Qur'an commands Muslims to violently subjugate Jews and Christians.

MUHAMMAD'S SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS
The Qur'an claims that stars are missiles that Allah uses to shoot demons.

The Qur'an claims that the sun sets in a pool of murky water.

Muhammad's teachings about personal hygiene would lead to death if Muslims took them seriously.

Muhammad claimed that Gabriel explained to him why children look like one parent or the other. Gabriel's answer is completely false.

MUHAMMAD'S EVIDENTIAL PROBLEMS

When Muhammad was too shy to tell his dinner guests to leave, Allah stepped in with a special revelation that should make everyone wonder whether Muhammad's revelations really have anything to do with God.

The Qur'an declares that Christians find Muhammad mentioned in our scriptures. Yet our scriptures call Muhammad an antichrist.

In the Qur'an, Allah promises to kill Muhammad by severing his aorta if Muhammad invents a false revelation. When Muhammad died, he said he could feel his aorta being severed.

The Qur'an contains a prophecy that wasn't fulfilled.

The Qur'an presents a test for divine inspiration, but fails the test.
The central argument for the inspiration of the Qur'an is the "Argument from Literary Excellence," which is absurd on multiple levels.

The author of the Qur'an doesn't know that Miriam, the sister of Aaron and Moses, is a different person from Mary, the mother of Jesus (because their names are the same in Arabic).

The Qur'an claims that Alexander the Great and Aesop were devout Muslims.
Allah promises to protect the Qur'an from corruption, but the Qur'an has been corrupted (by Muslim standards).

Muslims believe that the Qur'an is Allah's eternal Word. Yet Allah repeatedly changes his eternal mind about his eternal Word via abrogation.

The Qur'an is missing at least two verses in which Allah commands grown women to breastfeed grown men in order to prevent sexual misconduct.

The Qur'an contains numerous false stories that were plagiarized from other sources.

MUHAMMAD'S PROBLEMS WITH WOMEN
Muhammad allowed his followers to hire prostitutes.

The Qur'an allows Muslim men to have up to four wives at a time. But Muhammad received a special revelation giving him (and him alone) the right to break the four-wife limit.

Muhammad had sex with a prepubescent nine-year-old girl named Aisha.

The Qur'an allows Muslim men to beat their wives into submission.

Islam allows Muslim men to rape their female captives and slave-girls.

Muhammad married the divorced wife of his own adopted son (after Muhammad caused the divorce), and the Qur'an offers an absurd defense of Muhammad's actions.

When Muhammad's wife Sauda became fat and unattractive, Muhammad intended to divorce her. Sauda had to relinquish some of her marital rights to avoid being abandoned.

After Muhammad got caught having sex with his slave girl in the bed of one of his wives, he swore that he would stop having sex with his slave-girl. Allah ordered him to break that oath.

Muhammad claimed that women are less intelligent and less moral than men.

When Muhammad's wives asked why he was giving special privileges to Aisha, he justified his actions by saying that he received revelations while wearing Aisha's dress!

MUHAMMAD'S THEOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

According to the Qur'an, Allah has no love for unbelievers.

According to the Qur'an, Allah is the "best of deceivers."

According to Muhammad, Allah wants people to sin, and he threatens us with annihilation if we refuse to sin.

Since Allah would destroy us for not sinning, the true savior of humanity, according to Islam, is Satan, who tempts human beings to sin and therefore protects us from being destroyed.

Muhammad didn't know whether he would go to heaven or hell when he died.

Islam teaches that Allah will punish Jews and Christians in hell for the sins of Muslims.

Muhammad promises his followers a paradise in which Allah will bless them with eternal erections so that they can continually deflower their virgins.

MUHAMMAD'S PROBLEMS WITH CHRISTIANITY

Islam affirms the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Jewish and Christian scriptures, yet Islam contradicts these scriptures on a fundamental level.

Islam claims to respect and honor Jesus, yet it portrays him as a complete failure.

Muslims believe that the Gospel has been corrupted. But according to Islam, part of the Gospel was corrupted by Allah himself.

Islam reverses the Gospel by having the guilty Judas die on behalf of the innocent Jesus, rather than the innocent Jesus dying on behalf of sinners.

Christianity is confirmed by Jesus' resurrection from the dead. Since Islam contradicts Christianity, and has no comparable confirmation from God, as good Christians we must reject Islam.

Seun:
It's sad to watch people trying desperately to make sense of something that just doesn't add up because they have been told that it's the truth.


The God of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism is all-powerful and benevolent. Such a God cannot exist because of the existence of evil. therefore those religions and their holy books are wrong. If the Bible and Quran are wrong, what is your reason for still believing that God exists?

What is the good intent behind allowing the torture, butchery and murder of innocent children and adults by groups like ISIS and Boko Haram?

There's no such thing as the "God of Christianity and Islam" Christians and muslims don't worship the same god. Do not be deceived.

You could at least have given us a sample of each of their exceptional narrative prowesses.

LesbianBoy:
Op that company needs to be probed by buhari. I mean, how can you that came out with PASS be enjoying benefits meant for those with a better result? Nonsense!

Who go fit take a "lesbian boy" seriously?

Samtobh:
Nice write-up OP.
Well, your assertion may not be so true about the class of degree discrimination.
I've applied to more than 500 jobs online with a CV always restructured, well-furnished and updated. Ye, no single invite.I've even veered off my field into some areas I consider can boost one's chances but dear, the same issue keep coming up.
To add up, I have a diploma in computer engineering, learnt HTML/JavaScript/CSS programming, HPLC/GC-MS/AAS analytical methods, and possess a first class degree.
Feb.14th will make it 2 years I did my POP,still in my parent's House.
So, my dear, God blessed you at the appointed time.

If I ever start my tech company, which at the moment is still a dream, recruiting people like you will be my number one priority.

But for the moment, have you tried sending your CV to the human resources department at Interswitch? I hear they are recruiting.

P.S Too bad Valentine's Day is only a sad reminder for you

The only certificate that should be looked down on is a fake one. A real certificate always has value, no matter the grade for which it was awarded.

Found another Christian! Again using your criteria

Really stewpid analogy. So a gallery of pictures of crosses superimposed on swastikas is evidence that the Nazis were Christians? Pitiful, anaemic and typically Islamic.

Produce evidence that the Nazis shouted "Jesus is Lord" as a prelude to carrying out their atrocities, the same way ISIS screams "Allahu Akbar" before launching terrorist attacks.

The koran and hadiths are the blueprint and guide for ISIS. In fact Abubakar Al-Baghdati the founder of ISIS is believed by his followers to be a Hafiz, someone who has memorised the koran.

ISIS is islamic through and through.

Nigeria's president Muhammadu Buhari gave an exclusive interview to the Daily Telegraph last week. Here is the full record of his remarks.

Q: Are you willing to talk to Boko Haram about the missing Chibok schoolgirls?

A:"As long as we can establish the bona fides of the leadership of Boko Haram, we are prepared as a government to discuss with them how to get the girls back. But we have not established any evidence of a credible leadership."

Q: Is Abubakr Shekau still the leader of Boko Haram?

A:"I receive conflicting information about the status of Shekau. Some say he has been removed and replaced by a less charismatic terrorist leader.

"I think he must be on the run, because out of the 14 local government districts that Boko Haram used to call their caliphate, they now do not control any now. They are scattered around the Sambisa forest and they have resorted to attacking soft targets, people in churches, mosques and market places, and using improvised explosive devices."

Q:Are you seeking any further help from the West in the fight against Boko Haram?

A:"I was invited by the G7 during my visit to Europe to brief them on the issue of security Boko Haram, and I did so. I subsequently sent Nigeria's 'shopping list' in terms of the infrastructure destroyed. That is schools, medical facilities and other institutions, bridges blown up, and the estimates of repair."

Q: Did you also ask for Western military help?

A:"Yes, I did, but I don't want to give any details of that in public at present. As you know, we already have foreign military help in terms of training missions."

Q:And are you asking for additional military help beyond training missions?

A:"I am not asking for any of that yet. I want to be briefed first on the situation from the Nigerian military and also the police."

Q:The previous government used mercenaries from South Africa in the fight against Boko Haram, with some success. Would you consider doing the same?

A:"I personally was very disappointed that the previous government resorted to mercenaries. I was also disappointed by the recent revelations of how military allocations were also misappropriated. How is it that Nigeria's military, which has a good record across west Africa, cannot claim back to 14 out of 774 local governorates from Boko Haram? They have to ask for mercenaries from South Africa? How the mighty has fallen!"

Q: What is your feeling on the wider terror threats across west and north Africa at the moment, with terrorism attacks taking place in Mali and Burkina Faso?

A: "I think we should be very worried because with technology, Boko Haram and other terrorists have become very mobile in all continents, not only in Africa but also in Europe, America and Asia.

"For Africa and the Sahel, the demise of Gaddafi's regime led to a lot of armed and trained people, especially those from the Sahel, being dispersed. Fighting is the only thing they know, and they are available at a fee. The danger is there, and I am pleased that Europe has realised it too."

Q:There have been reports that Nigerians have been fighting for Isil in the Libyan city of Sirte. Is that true?

A: "I haven't seen confirmed reports about that, but I know that it is not only in Sirte - there are also Nigerians finding their way to Syria too. I don't know which side, but they may be fighing for Isil. How many, I have no idea."

Q: Have you ever had reports of people from the Nigerian diaspora in the UK being involved in Boko Haram in any way?

A: "No, but if I do, I will immediately raise the issue."

Q: A number of Nigerians use the migrant routes to come to the UK to claim asylum, saying their lives are at risk from Boko Haram. Is is legitimate for them to do so?

A: "Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but then again some Nigerians have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in different prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking. I don't think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home. Their services are required to rebuild the country. If their countrymen misbehaved, the best thing for them is to stay at home and encourage the credibility of the nation."

Q: Do you think that Nigerians have an image problem abroad?

A: "Certainly. But we are on our way to salvage that. We will encourage our countrymen to stay at home, work hard and make a respectable living at home."

Q: Your government has launched a major corruption probe over claims that billions of dollars of oil cash went missing during the previous administration. Some suspects have been arrested in the UK. Are you satisfied with the co-operation you are getting from the UK authorities?

A: "One of the biggest suspects is in Britain now, although I am not going to name that person. But Britain has earned our respect in the way it deals with these matters. Our only problem is that it seems to be too thorough and it takes too much time. If there are obvious cases, like bank accounts, infrastructure houses and hotels, I would hope they could do it quicker, so that we can claim these things back promptly."

Note: this is an extended version of an interview that first ran in the Daily Telegraph on Friday February 5th.

I'm reposting this because I believe the actions of these degenerate politicians deserve universal condemnation.

A bill seeking to establish equality between men and women in Enugu State was on Tuesday rejected by members of the state house of assembly.

The proposed law, known as ‘Equal Rights and Opportunities for Men and Women and Other Matters Related Thereto Bill’, was sponsored by a female member of the House, Hon. Dame Nkechi Omeje-Ogbu, representing Nsukka West Constituency.

Omeje-Ogbu is also the chairman of the House Committee on Gender Affairs.
The bill had scaled first reading before suffering a setback during a debate on Tuesday, with most of the male members kicking out viciously against it.

It was described as ‘anti-cultural’ and ‘un-African’.

The bill would have been rejected outright, had the Speaker, Hon. Edward Ubosi, not intervened by suggesting that it should be stepped down for reconsideration on a future, unspecified date.

Before then, the sponsor, Omeje-Ogbu, had explained that the ‘Enugu State Equal Opportunities Bill’, if passed into law, would protect all persons from discrimination on the basis of gender, in private and public places.

According to her, the bill provided “protection for women’s bodies, integrity, dignity and would affirm their right to equal opportunities to realise their full potentials”.

She added that the bill was also seeking positions and appointments for the women of Enugu State, noting that marriage, divorce and widowhood should not deny them (women) their rights.

However, many male lawmakers spoke out against the bill.

The member representing Awgu North Constituency, Hon. Sunny Ude-Okoye, said that he would not be a party to the bill ‘because here is Africa and not America’.

Ude-Okoye suggested that if anybody wishes to embrace practices as suggested in the bill, such a person should relocate to America.
“I have risen to declare my stand, I have risen to take my stand that this is a colossal waste.

Other lawmakers were rising against the bill when the Speaker, Ubosi, suggested that it be stepped down for wider consultation.

Ubosi said the bill would be reconsidered in the future.
Thanking the sponsor, Omeje-Ogbu, for the bill, the Speaker said it would not be proper to kill it ‘prematurely’, even though most of the lawmakers had strong feelings against it.

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs.
A contrast can be made between the politically correct statements often trotted out in the wake of terrorist attacks and what ISIS itself says that it stands for.
