MissMeiya: My God.

xynerise: And if she doesn't make-up you will have no choice than to cheat on her?

onegig: Glad you want to learn. Ramadan is actually a month under the islamic calendar. The ninth month to be specific. It's during this period that adherents fast from dusk to dawn. I.e abstain from eating, drinking and lawful sexual activities. What makes the month unique and significant is the abundance of blessing and reward for any little act of worship or good done during the period. It's also the fourth pillar of islam. Islam has five pillars which any muslim must abide by.


It starts with the spotting of the moon and also ends with the reappearance of the moon after the 29th or 30th day which results in the festival known as id-ul-fitr. I hope this has been enough to clear the questions asked?


As for the benefits. Apart from the spiritual aspects there are many health benefits. As for greetings. Just a greeting of Ramadan kareem and may God accept it as an act of worship is enough to say to a muslim you want to greet during the period and during the festivities your usual Barka de Sallah is suitable. you can read more for benefits here.

Jarus: Assalaamu alaikum my brothers and sisters,
We thank Allah for making us witness yet another Ramadan and pray He makes it easy for us to maximize the benefit therein.

I'm mooting the idea of having Nairalanders iftaar for those of us in Lagos, although it's a pity that most of the active contributors here are not Lagos residents.

I'm very serious and will inshaAllah foot the bill. At least I know oyb,Abuzola,fellis,dominique and a few new or fringe Muslim Nairalanders are Lagos-based. Javalove is also usually in and out of Lagos. This will also provide an opportunity to meet other Muslim Nairalanders face to face.

DATE :Let's suggest a date. But I think Friday or Saturday evening will be better.
TIME: Iftaar time is of course around 7pm but convergence can start from 6pm
VENUE: Option 1-Any eatery can be selected, but I'll suggest Mama Cass in VI,given its spaciousness. Option 2: I am ready to host everybody at my Ajah apartment, but Ajah is somehow far, and the heavy traffic obstacle on people's way home. 

So any idea on making this a reality? And who is interested?

NB: Since this topic has been 'home-paged', let us interprete some Islamic terms used here to the non-Muslims who may just be curious. Iftaar means breaking of fast. Monghrib is sunset salat(prayer).

nxanadu: open Kaka is very sweet. i still de do am. i love the shot-put. i love it when breeze is entering every corner.

PAGAN9JA: stop exaggerating you st.upid slave!

and isnt your bible a mental brainwashing construct isnt it what made kill many people and tribals around the world. i have burn many bibles in my life and soon i will spread the campaign to burn that evil uncean book.

so our Gods a.k.a. itangible Spiritual Forces are less real than your material man-God. to begn with your God, is not a God. Igbos must realise that they are worshipping a jewish criminal traitor who tried to inspire rebellion against the stable and progressive Pagan Roman EMpire, that ha produce soome of the finest scholars, scientists , philosophers, architects, etc., in the history of mankind.

and now only most Igbos are chritian, NOT ALL! so dont get your hopes too high.

anyways in the coming years, people are already realising the falsity and evil of christianity and will soon move away from it. like for example, how you guyz are now being slaughtered in the relgious section.

mainman7: We the Yorubas demand an unalloyed and undiluted APOLOGY from the igbos now! Against the agreement, igbos spared their own corrupt politicians during the 1966 Coup. Again, against the agreement, igbos invaded Ore (Yoruba Land) during the war, what a terrible and evil-minded traitors igbos are!
At Ore, they met their Water-Loo at the hand of common Yoruba hunters (the igbos soldiers cloths tenaciously clung to their flesh, became the same with their body, and attempts to pull it off teared their flesh, blood flowed and fear came upon them) they were then mercilessly slaughters like chickens. That was their last attempt to ever try to take war to Yoruba Land.
igbos are the most deceitful and unreliable set of people on Earth. You'll enter into an agreement them but they'll surely stab you right at your back, guaranteed! Worst still, they'll try to play on your intelligence by alleging you of the exact evil they are obviously guilty of.
For 3 unforgivable offenses:
1.) Sparing their own currupt people during the 1966 Coup
2.) For again breaching agreement having the effrontery to enter Ore during the war
3.) Most important of all, for trying to play on the intelligence of the Great Yoruba people, by having the effrontery to demand for apology at all when they should have been using your mouth to wipe the floor begging the Yorubas for forgiveness.
We, the Yorubas demand an unalloyed and undiluted APOLOGY from the igbos now!

rozzay: . Dalu nwanem nwoke.

rozzay: Hmmm one guy I was datin den, we wanted to do it nd he was broke so I actually paid for a hotel room(cos he was squatting). Drinks nd food. So disgusting payin for a room nd gettin fuc ked in it, all in d name f love. Thank God I kicked his butt long ago

MissMeiya: Alright, no one asked, but here's my experience with friend-zoning:

If I know a guy is into me, I don't "befriend" him. It's uncomfortable and cruel!

e.g. This guy, let's call him X, invited me for drinks once. I thought we were going to catch up and talk, but it quickly became clear that he wanted some *whistle*. When I figured it out, I said I was tired and went home. Then next morning, I paid him my half of what he spent the night before (I only had my debit card and he tricked me into letting him pay). Then I didn't text him again. We're cool, but we don't pretend like we're friends.

Now that I think about it, it would be hard for me to friend zone someone, as I hate confrontation. I'd just exit stage right as soon as it became obvious.

simmy: man! im as liberal as the next person and my music taste is ecletic. even tho i think Enya is unbelievably talented i swear sometimes her music gives me the creeps. I'm not saying she s satanic or anyhting but i think im artistically sensitive enuff to realise that something is not right with Enya s music

oyin01: Anytime I see a country like Dubai and other great structures built by people... E. G Reedem, Cannan land etc, I wonder if this things will be destroyed at the end of the world. Definitely no. It can't happen.

Sagamite: You are a reetarded moronic cretinous person!

You think it is only Dubai that look like that in the Middle East?

And you are posting aerial pictures of the rubbish many African countries have to present?

You are a cretinous person!

Which hundreds of cities does Africa have, person?

You pulled that moronic junk from your arsse, mental patient?

No nurse came to change your diaper today?

Rilwayne001: A friend of mine that happens to be a marketer of a reputable bank in ib, resigned even before they could address a sack letter to him when he could not meet up the target set for him... may God help us sha.

he now run a business center now, atleast he is the target no target set for him.

As for the operating staff...only God dey help those ones, imagine a friend of mine doing industrial training (IT) in FCMB, she made a mistake by crediting a wrong account, the amount of about N34,000 was lost, and she is been paid N20,000 per month due to fact that she is an IT.

that month salary was not paid, and N14k was deducted from her following month salary..
well she still work there.

may God help us jare

LeStylo: Despite the marvelous achievement of Dubai in barely too decades, it is still dogged by seasonal flow of tourists. This is largely due to the very harsh heat wave from the Sahara in summer. Flight tickets and hotel accommodation crash at this time. A temperature controlled area will be a juicy all-year attraction especially to the money baggers from the West.

Tourism has already overtaken oil as Dubai highest revenue earner.

That's the stuff LEADERS are made of.
