Christianity EtcRe: Ramadan 2021: 7 Important Apps For Muslims Observing The Holy Islamic Month by wirinet(m): 7:58am On Apr 11, 2021
Mod, abeg move this thread to the Islamic section. They have a whole section to themselves to the exclusion of all other religions. This one section shared by all other believers and non believers, they want to share with us again. Is that not what Yorubas call "oju kokoro" (greed).

The senate did their job. McConnell does not have the power to confirm anyone or reject anyone. There are other members in the senate that has to vote from both parties.
Very annoying lie. Which job did the Senate do? And who said McConnell had the power to appoint or reject anyone?
The republican led Senate Judiciary Committee refused to hold confirmation hearing for Merrick Garland. Now what is the job of the Senate if not to hold hearings for nominations of the president? If they had held the hearing and voted to reject the nomination, that would have been a separate matter.


The long term implication of this is that once the Senate is being controlled by an opposition party to the president, they can decide not to screen the presidents nominees until they are able to win back the presidency.

all the judges trump nominated none was accepted by the Democrats. They cooked up phony rape accusations. ACB they say she is racists for adopting black children and argued that it is racism.
That's what is paining you guys, that repuplican judges trump norminated were not accepted by the Democrats? Which is worse, Republican judges not accepted by the Democrats or Democrat judges not even screened by Republicans. I don't think presidential nominations will ever get bipartisan support in the US for the foreseeable future.

If Hilary had won she would have also filled 3 spots like Trump did. In Bidens 4yrs if here are 4 openings, I expect him to fill also

The last Republican was Trump, He met a court opening filled with Gorsuch, A judge retired he filled it, RBG died he filled it

There is no law that says you cannot fill an opening with 3 weeks, A president is appointed to rule for 4yrs. From January 20 to January 19. You don't stop being president because an election is coming
I was talking about court openings that occurred during the time of Obama. Mitch McConnell led Senate refused hearings for the judges because they control the Senate. The opening did not occur during Trump nor if Hillary had won. The opening belonged to Obama.

I never said there was a law that says you cannot a court openings that occurred one day to the end of an administration, what I am saying is that it is bad faith to say you cannot screen judges 1 year to elections because it is not to your advantage and then turn around and say there is no law that says you cannot fill an opening within 3 weeks of an election.

The other side too will be in majority one day and they too will pay back in bad faith.

That is a very dangerous proposition. You are now telling me that if a party ever achieve super majority, then that party is justified to use that super majority to act in bad faith. One can now appreciate the Republican party under Ronald Reagan who had super majority and controlled all branches of government, but never alienated or cheated the democrats.

Its different in a country without guns vs a country with more guns than people

Police do not have spare lives too and are always on the edge as every encounter with police in America is potentially more deadly than anywhere else in the world. It's you duty as a citizen to obey the law enforcement
If there were more guns in Canada, China and UK more than people, I believe the police in those places will have more shootings too

In other countries, a normal road rage ends up with people flipping the finger, In America where normal road rage can end in shooting
In other countries a bullied kid sucks it up, In America, they pick guns and shoot people

America is not the only country where racism exists, Its not the only place where different races co-exist in same place rather its the place where there are more guns than everywhere else. A racist cop in Canada will probably use batons on you because he has no reason to fear for his life, while a regular cop in America that isn't even racist will shoot
You guys that complain that America is potentially more deadly than anywhere else in the world because more guns than people are the same people that resists any sort of gun control. Is that not a paradox?

One thing you guys fail to realize and which many older societies have learnt is that violence begets more violence.

What do you expect when guns are promoted as the most effective means of self protection and of policing?

The last Republican regime confirmed 3 judges because there were openings, they did not increase the size of the court

But if Dems want to, they should go ahead, just remember that when the other party wins, they will do the same thing just like we learnt with the nuclear option
False! The Republicans under Mitch McConnell stole a Democrat Supreme Court opening and handed it over to Trump with an excuse that it was too close to elections even though the elections was 1 year away. But they confirmed a Supreme Court opening just 3 weeks to elections.

When you cheat because you are in power, your opponent would also cheat when they get to power. The cycle continues until the whole system crashes.

There is. A growing lack of trust between the police and the citizenry fuelled by other social problems like lack of good mental health care, lack of good social safety nets not to even add on the prevalence of guns. Its a gordian knot wrapping itself tighter with each event like this.
Exactly the same thing I said above. It's a vicious cycle of violence between blacks and police and something needs to be done fast.
The US needs to understand that policing is not all about violence and force but maintaining peace and social justice.

Finally we agree on something. They feel it is always good to follow popular opinion. The police gave a lawful order. Follow it. The car is tinted, for two cops to be at the scene with different squad cars in means something must have happened we don't know.
Sometimes the popular opinion is the truth. It does not make sense to always go against popular opinion because it makes us feel special or different.

It's not everyone that follows police orders or any other orders for that matter. Just like opinion deviants, there are many social deviants. If everyone follows the law and police orders, there would not be need for the police. The US police need to be trained on how to handle such situations without killing citizens they are meant to protect. You hardly hear of British police, the Canadian police or even the Chinese police kill unarmed civilians anyhow. They are becoming like Nigeria's SARS.

A lot of videos of cops getting killed when they ask for drivers licence or suspect shoots at them as they approach the car.
This is what I call a feedback cycle. Police is usually brutal when arresting blacks. Blacks have been complaining of police murders for decades and nothing had been done to address the problem. Many blacks have been conditioned to hate and fear the police at the same time. When they are stopped by police, they already have the mindset that either they shoot first or the police shoots first. The cycle of violence goes on and on, increasing with each generation.

The brutal manner George Floyd was murdered would have a lasting impression on Black kids and youths.

if Chauvin is allowed to go Scot free. It will also further embolden more white officers to continue profiling and murdering black young men, because if George Floyd murder that was captured live with so many cameras can be found innocent, then would there ever be enough evidence to convict any other police murders on black youths.

They are charging him for 2nd and 3rd degree murder. They dropped their 1st degree charge. I think they are overcharhing him. They should have gone for manslaughter. They have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that chauvin intend to kill floyd even as people were taping everything on their phone.
If he did not intend to kill Floyd, why didn't Chauvin remove his knee from his neck once Floyd became unconscious and why did he not make any attempt at reviving him? If he had made any attempt at CPR or allowed any other person to person CPR on floyd, then it could be easily argued that Chauvin never intended to kill him.

Many people get time to engage these too loony midgets. When people escape from pyschiatric homes and find succour on Nairaland, that's what you get. In America, being drug addicts doesn't ends in being assassinated by police officers. Late Rash Slimebaugh was a very well known drug addict in his life and he was a Republican icon till he passed away. No one killed him because of his addictions. Police is not a prosecutor jury, and judge in America. Only coons from Umudike who knows nothing about the judicial system will justify the killing of an innocent man.
This is why I don't blame you when you lose patient and start insulting right wing loonies. The medical examiner reported that the death was HOMICIDE, and one right wing loony who have never touched a cadaver in his life wrote

To say it was homicide is going too far. I don't think chauvin deliberately killed floyd. I think floyd died of OD

I felt bad. The family are millionaires now. But if chauvin is innocent he is innocent. That's justice.

We should not be fooled by the media and also scapegoating someone because BLM is threatening to burn the hood
Whether the family are billionaires is irrelevant. Seeing a human being being slowly strangled to death with a stoic reaction from police officers charged with protecting lives and property can be very traumatic to most normal human beings.

The officer followed normal procedure but a simple search on YouTube provide a similar case that lead to death but there was no knee to the neck but clearly at his back. Tony died but no one burned the streets or the media carried the news because he was a white man.

He also had drugs in his system. He was the one that called the police and when they wanted to take him he started resisting which led to his death.

All y'all like talking about racism but please point out the racism in this video. This happened in Texas

No body knows about toni timpa. They know what cause us to hate each other so the media sets us apart all the time. Timpa does not fit their agenda of police killing black men. Timpa was white.
That you can watch the murder of George Floyd without feeling sad and at the same time supporting Chauvin shows you are not human. Even lower animals have empathy for other living things. The only empathy I know right wing loonies have left is reserved only for fetuses.

You mean tell me you can watch this video and not feel sympathy for Floyd by feel sympathy for Chauvin instead?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaGmz4DPlJw

All police officers that testified including senior police officers and trainers said Chauvin kneeling in Floyd's back is not standard procedure. But one loony said kneeling on someone's neck is standard procedure.

The most absurd is that despite clear video evidence and audible onlookers urging Chauvin to get off Floyd's neck, one loony is saying Chauvin never kneeled on Floyd's neck but his back. Oya show us the video of Chauvin on Floyd's back, not still photos or 2 seconds clip of fleeting moments when Chauvin temporally removed his knee from Floyd's neck.

After all said, he concluded that the cause of death was HOMICIDE. I honestly don't understand why right wing loonies are jubilating that the forensic pathologist exonerate Chauvin.

He only said that heart disease, drug overdose and hypertension PLAYED A ROLE in Floyd death. How this testimony exonerate Chauvin beats me.

Alternative facts looniness, really what happened to George Floyd has been happening to other blacks and their murderers get let off because they will be framed as drug addicts.

Its no surprise most of these retarded people are trying to push narratives like that, its a pattern they have used before.
Yes blacks have been extra judicially murdered by police for ages and are labelled drug addicts, but George Floyd's case has one major difference. The murder was captured live on TV. The "he died of drug overdose" narrative would not fly. Even If he was overdosed, it would be difficult to prove that Chauvin knee on his neck did not contribute to his death.

The person who conducted autopsy on George Floyd will testify too
Facts don't matter to Nairaland right wing loonies. Even If Derick Chauvin confesses to killing George Floyd deliberately, they would still say he was forced to lie by leftists or misquoted by CNN.

Derrick chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes, but they see his knee on his shoulder, back and every other place except the neck, even though the video is clear and taken live.

Floyd died there on the spot before the arrival of fire fighters, as testified to by the actual fire fighters on the scene, but Trump's crazy loonies from their imagination says he died on the way to hospital.

All medical and forensic experts that testified so far says Floyd died as a result of Chauvin's knee on his neck, but loonies say he just happens to die of drug overdose.

So you think the actual pathologist that carried out the autopsy can change their mind?

US right wing conservatives have become synonymous with looniness.

Oh, really? I thought anybody who excuses away or ignores the ill-treatment of muslims, other races and citizens of other countries is islamophobic, racist and xenophobic respectively?
Look up the meaning of islamophobia, racism and xenophobia, it has nothing to do with ignoring or excusing. It has to do with actually taking actions that is harmful or detrimental based on hatred or prejudices.
Trump banned Muslims not based on ignoring them or excuses but actual prejudices.


Ignoring like Trump did is even the lesser wrongdoing than excusing the ill-treatment of Muslim Ughurs just as Biden did.

So, there are different rules for different POTUSes(?) ?
Trump did not care about Muslim Ughurs or any other muslims. I don't think any US President would enter into a diplomatic spat with China because of minority Muslims. Muslims generally do not like the US or Americans for that matter.

I wonder why the right has suddenly become obsessed with Muslim Ughurs, you did not talk of Myanmar's Rhohingya, who had been suffering actual genocide since 2016, you are ignoring the Saudi Monarchy who murder it's own citizens both home and abroad, you are even oblivious to the killings and murder of Christians and southerners by government backed Fulani militia right in your backyard, but you are so obsessed with a place you cannot even pronounce properly or locate on a map.

Right wingers? I don't think they are fanatical. We both know those who thrive on cancel culture, faux outrage, and racial politics.

But there are several middle grounds. Both Democrats and Republicans (including Trump supporters, of course - some Independents) all stood up for Candace Owens when Democrat candidate, Liam O'Mara racially abused her by threatening her with a KKK hoodie. I love that one - everybody finding middle growns once in a while.




Biden... He's goofed on some issues. But he's done some things I like. Like going tough on Iran unlike Obama. Ironically, the Democrats criticized Trump for his tough stance on Iran too but are praising Biden for the same thing.

The issues at the border with Mexico are still of concern and there are still several controversies. The media is deliberately downplaying these issues and AOC, who was playacting at the border during Trump's era, has suddenly forgotten where the border is.

Biden has literally excused away China's treatment of the Muslim Ughurs. He's practically endorsed China's islamophobia and CNN, AOC, NYT and the likes who infamously slammed Trump with the Islamophobic tag are deliberately looking away.

Still too early for a definite Biden scorecard.
With all the problems facing the US - economic, pandemic, trade war with China, broken relationship with her traditional allies, etc, you want Biden to concentrate on China's treatment of the Muslim Ughurs? You expect the Biden to expend energy on Muslim Ughurs when predominant Muslim states in the same continent are not even talking about it. Where is Saudi Arabia, where is Pakistan, where is Indonesia, Turkey Nko? They are all still in bed with China.
If anything is to be done for Muslim Ughurs, the Muslim dominated countries are the one to take the initiative, the US can only support.

Why did you not ask Trump about the Ughurs, he hardly mentioned them.

But u see that poverty bn a state of mind, and that you are poor only if you believe? Kai bro, i say Kai.. poverty is not a state of mind, poverty is not believing.. it is a reality that happens to even the very intelligent ones. It only takes the grace of God to attain success in whatever you do and it is goin to look as if you are the best in what you do.

So many people are much more intelligent than you in that your line of business or job but are not as successful as you. It's not as if u know better than them, neither is it by motivational quote of poverty bn a state of mind.
Most Nigerians have been taught (I will rather say brainwashed) by the so called men of God that is lack of having material things like expensive cars, cloths, house, money, etc. And then equate poverty to a curse from God. This is further from the truth. There is so much abundant resources in the world, especially in Africa that with the right mindset and education, we can generate more than enough wealth for the continent. What we needed to survive and live was all around us, we did not need to go anywhere to search for them. Africans didn't know they were poor until the Europeans taught them about poverty.

Now read about Jose Mujica, the so called poorest president in the world. He will disagree with you if you label him poor. He drives a 1978 Beetle car, lives in a tiny house, but he believes he has all the wealth he needs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGufxyfe868

He was offered $1million for his beetle car by and Arab sheik and have not accepted yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqhCAORmsaE

Now according to you and your Men Of God, is he cursed for driving a Beetle?

Until we change our poverty mindset, Nigeria will forever remain in poverty

And science cannot explain psychology. It may be able to explain physiology to a certain point, but not psychology, because the mind is an abstract thing. Your brain is just the physical representation of your mind, which is abstract. And science doesn't recognize the abstract. So if what is happening to this NLer is psychological, it cannot have anything to do with his physiology. His body is only reacting to what is happening in the realm of his mind.
False premise resulting in false conclusions. Psychological reactions manifests in physical responses. That's what the whole discipline of psychological tries to study and deal with. Psychological decreases are as damaging as physical diseases.

Hormonal changes leads to lots psychological responses which in turn can lead serious physical problems, ie puberty, pregnancy, menopause, etc.

You are under attack by a demonic entity known as a succubus. Forget about scientific rationalisation here, there are so many things scientists can't explain. If it happens once or twice a week, it may have been an attempt by the body to homostasize itself by removing excess sperm, but having wet dreams everyday? Come on. Even if you are thinking about sex everyday and every hour, it ain't possible to have daily wet dreams, unless something is seriously wrong with your mind to force your body to release semen everyday. I believe there is an external stimuli making you to do this on the subconscious level, and that stimuli is a succubus. It drains your sperm bank when you are asleep, and wipes the memory of it off your mind as you wake up.
More Bullshit. Normal psychological and physiological response. If as a young man you are not sexually active and you do not have wet dreams, see a doctor.

It can ever be normal. Check out "Succubus" in your circular dictionary, then you would know that even dictionary acknowledges it is spiritual.

That demon is shortchanging you. It never ends well.

1. It hampers the quality of your sperm if not stopped.
2. Your journey with women in future would be a sorry tale.
3. You may start having sexual sickness you may not be able to explain its cause. (succubus transmits stubborn bacteria as it keeps extracting your seed)
4. Doubt my advise and use your body/destiny to prove it correct.

Remedy.

A fervent prayer to stop the incessant succubus encounter. (Since it can perform its atrocities and wipe it off your memory when you wake up)

2. Desist from any unclean act that may likely attract it (masturbation, lusting after opposite sex and étal)

Be radical about it cause it is a very stubborn experience.
Bullshit. It is very normal and happens to most guys in the age bracket - 17 to 30 who are not sexually active.
My own experience was worse during my jambite days. It got to a point I was wetting 2 to 3 times a day. Sometimes I would just dose off a few mins and gbam my pant is wet with sperm. I didn't even have to think of women not to talk of sex.

I got so worried that I travelled from school to lagos just to see my doctor then, who was a junior brother to my friend. When I told him about my problem, he just laughed and said get a girlfriend. Mind you he was a very religious man (Muslim).

I'm not sure you read my post well, I never spoke to her parents until the next day morning, neither did I threaten them with police that was a suggestion from my friend which I highlighted I wouldn't want to do because it will hurt my relationship. I was angry so I intentionally wanted to be left alone cause truth be told, they where never expecting any money even if they where not this sum.

After speaking to her Mom, I paid very close attention to the context of her explanation, she said the man they thought sent the money hasn't been picking their calls so technically he was avoiding them. So even after they received the money they called this man and he refused to pick. They then concluded it wasn't him, that it could be the good unknown angel who randomly sent them 10k in December and never called till date so they used the money.

She also said her husband had suggested they wait till Monday before touching the money, but their was no single food at home for weeks and they where in dare need for a miracle. So they acted this way because they needed money badly. She said she knew it was wrong and it was an act of stealing, and she will pay back if this man Ever sends them money. Again I know this is never going to happen, so I told her not to bother that I'll sort things out with the money that is left, they shouldn't go borrowing. She then said they where able to gather 10k and she wants to send 50k instead, later on she said it's now 20k so they can send 60k back. I just insisted they send what's left in the account they can use the rest to sort their problems.

I'm not a bad person and have sent them money in countless occasions even more than 200k. But this is entirely different, I didn't insult or threaten their daughter in anyway, she was the one who told me how terrible she felt and how she wishes she didn't come come from such family. She kept saying Baby, I'm not like them please! All in all the money is lost, lesson lent. Deleted the account number cause now I know what enters there never comes out grin.
I doff my heart to you. I appreciate few Nigerians left that are very principled, and not denominate everything to money. I have said the whole issue is not about the money but the principle of taking what does does not belong to you and using religion to justify it.

Since it seems the mother admit that they did wrong (unlike lots of people here who tries to use "miracle blessing" to justify their spending the money), you should just collect the remaining amount and move on. Also don't put the blame on your girlfriend as she too was very embarrassed by the situation.

My only problem is how will the girl's family survive when when the food they bought with the money finishes? Will they die or pray for another miracle alert?

African youths need to the taught how to add value to themselves and become wealth creators instead of searching for non existent paper qualification employments or pray for "ala anu" (philanthropists) in order to survive.

Sometimes, things we don't prepare for happen
You still don't get it. It's not necessarily about the money, but about the dishonesty and mistrust. I will feel that I cannot forget anything at their house. You people always present Christianity and Christians as a religion built on dishonesty and lies. It is wrong to covet things that is not yours. This is a motto I hammer on my children.

Some of this naira land boys do not have sense , poverty has affected your thinking so much, if I were that girl, I will get the money from anysource and send to you and end the foolish relationship. You will use police to arrest my father and mother for your own foolish mistake,you even have the guts to post it here , insulting your girlfriend, parent , you must be very mad, that girl should leave and go hustle for her family , they are poor, she should not marry a poor man like you.


I hope her family sees this, so they can raise your money and give you fast.
You are an endrape activist and at the same time you are advising a girl to "get the money from any source". Is that not a paradox? Will her finding the money from any source not make her vulnerable to rape? Or at best sexual exploitation. If her and her whole family cannot raise N100k, what make you think the girl can find N100k from any source?

I am not annoyed that the girl and her family is poor, what I am pissed about is the entitlement mentality of her family. They should have at least return what's left of the money and then plead for time to return the remaining. If they had returned at least N50k and promised to return the rest later, I am sure the guy would have cooled down.

I don't really want to blame the girl because at least she is embarrassed by her folks actions and she is not showing entitlement mentality. If you are to continue the relationship the guy must make it clear that he will not be responsible for her folks and her whole family, after all he too has his own family. He will be only be responsible for her and their children. If she wants to cater for her own family, she should get a job.

Nawa for you ohhh, you made a mistake and now you are vibrating, why thinking of involving police or saying that it's stealing. 1 they didn't denied receiving the money, 2 they apologized & are ready to pay back. you speak as if the whole thing wasn't your fault, what I see here is God using you to answer their prayers. just collect the 40k if you must on Tuesday and 4get d 60k. if they pay back fine 100k or 60k no go make u poor. people lose way more than this and life goes on talk more of this that you know were your money entered. no hard feelings.
Another one of them that uses God to defend their criminal behaviour. The real God (and not the Nigerian God) does not answer prayers by asking you to steal or cheat. They did not apologise and have not said how they would refund the money.

People make mistakes all the time. The guy might has well forgotten the money in the parents house. The fact that they did not know who owns the money does not give them the right to spend it.
