Culture / Re: What Names Do You Refer To Natives Of Other Tribes With In Your Dialect? by Zags001: 1:22am On Dec 25, 2014
2prexios:
I love history and culture, most of all I love the way our ancestors were able to create meaningful words that we often take for granted. Zags001, I believe that Yoruba/Fulani/Hausa etc were kinsmen in some remote past. I found 'duduwa' in Fulani lexicon, dan'tada in Hausa. Do you know of it? Seriously, apabi sounds like Yoruba too, it means 'by this side'. I was surprise one day my neighbour said he's fulani. I believe he was Yoruba until then. Then later, I look at his wife critically to be sure: she's slim, (someone call the husband 'dan Fulani) so I believe.


That is quite true.

which state?

2prexios:
Lol, pls what are possible meanings to A'pabi? At what state can Gure people be found? Op, nice topic. You deserve so much.


Gure is the name of my tribe, the name of my dialect and the name of of my hometown (3-in-1, lol) cheesy

Gure is a tribe in Lere L.G.A of Kaduna state and has a very rich fulani heritage. Infact, the term 'Gure' is a pure fulani word, which means 'bukka' in hausa or 'hut' in english. cool

@2prexio, 'a'pabi' simply means 'the people of the other valley' or 'the people of the other plain land' or 'the people of the other land below the hill'. I dont really know the origin of these references sha,
Note however that my hometown(Gure) is situated on a vast valley-land that is surrounded by hills & high rocks. Maybe thats why my people refer to the yorubas as the 'people of the other valley' (not sure sha). smiley

Religion / Re: The Prophet Of Allah by Zags001: 2:24pm On Oct 06, 2014
Smh.
You all have succeeded in altering the submission by arguing about totally different issues from that of the OP.
The title of this thread is:
The prophet of Allah.
So why has the thread been turned into a David/Solomon thread pls? Lets try and get back to the main post pls because thats what most of us here came to read & comment about. Anyone who wants to argue further about something different should kindly open a different thread for that.

Now this is the opening post thus;


[quote
author=haffaze777 post=26773946]Those words that are in bold are the extracted
words pertaining to the history of Prophet
Muhammad from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah (also spelled Mohammed or
Muhammed) (ca. 570 Mecca - June 8, 632 Medina), is
the foundation of the religion of Islam and is regarded
as Muslims as a mesenger and prophet of God (Arabic:
Allah), the last and the greatest law-bearer in a series
of prophets. Muslims consider him the restorer of the
uncorrupted original monotheistic faith (Islam) of
Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other
prophets. He was also active as a diploma, merchant,
philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, military,
general, and, according to Muslim belief, an agent of
divine action.
It is mentioned above that Prophet Muhammad is
regarded to be the messenger and prophet of God,
the last and the greatest law-bearer in a series of
prophet. As he is the last law-bearer in a series of
prophet, it is rational for moderate Muslims to
accept that the Holy Quran to be the only source
that is reliable for meditation and it is not
justifiable for anyone to use the words from other
muslims, especially the words from muslim
extremists, in replacement of the words from
Allah.
Born in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was
orphaned at a young age and brought up under the
care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as
a merchant, as well as shepherd, and was first married
by age 25. Discontented with life in Mecca, he
retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for
meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs
it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan,
where he received his first revelation from God.
According to Muslim tradition, Muhammad's wife
Khadija was the first to believe he was a prophet. She
was soon followed by Muhammad's ten-year-old
cousin ali ibn Abi Talib, close fiend Abu Bakr, and
adopted son Zaid.
From the above statements, it is obvious that
Prophet Muhammad actively involved in preaching
the message of Allah and that caused his wife to
be the first to become Muslim. After the conversion
to Muslim by his wife, his friend, his close friend
and adopted son, were lately to be converted to
Muslims as well. At that time when Prophet
Muhammad received the revelation from Allah, he
did not slaughter his wife, friend and adopted son
since they were not Muslims at all in the
beginning. Prophet Muhammad was willing to
spare his time to reach out to the pagans and that
lead to the conversions to muslims one to be
followed by another. For instance, if Prophet
Muhammad was a selfish and cruel man, he would
simply hide the message of Allah from his close
firiend and his adopted son without showing
mercy to reach out to them so as to patiently wait
for their repentance to become muslims since they
were not muslims initially at all.
Three years after this event Muhammad started
preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that
'God is One', that complete 'surrender' to him (lit
islam) is the only way (din) acceptable to God, and
that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God,
in the same vein as other Islamic prophets.
The statement as mentioned above tells us that
Prophet Muhammad actively involved in preaching
the message of God publicly three years after
receiving the revelation from Allah. If Prophet
Muhammad was cruel and that Allah's mission for
him was to slaughter non-muslims as long as
they'd found them, Prophet Muhammad would not
spend time to preach to the public since he would
began his battle to slaughter all the surrounding
pagans. As Prophet Muhammad did not slaughter
the pagans immediately after receiving revelation
from Allah and yet he began to preach to be public
actively, it implies that he is a righteous man that
he would not like to see pagans to suffer in the
Last Judgment Day and that caused him to begin
his mission to preach the message of Allah to be
public. Thus, he was indeed merciful to the
pagans and he did not want to see pagans to
perish during the Last Judgment Day.
Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was
met with hostility from some Meccan tribes; he and
his followers were treated harshly. To escape
persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to
Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622 CE.
This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the
Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad united the
conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with
the Meccan tribes, his folloers, who by then had grown
to ten thousand, conquered Mecca. In 632, a few
months after returning to Medina from his Farewell
pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of
his death, most of the Arabian Peninsula had
converted to Islam; and he united the tribes of Arabia
into a single Muslim religious polity.
it is mentioned above that Meccan tribes were
hostile to Muhammad. As he and his followed were
treated harshly by the Mecann tribes and that
caused him to trigger off the war against them.
From the statement above, it is prudent to support
that Prophet Muhammad did not fight initially
after receiving the revelation from Allah. Instead,
he actively involved in preaching the message of
Allah to the pagans. He only fought back when the
pagans began to trigger off their battle with him.
However, muslim extremists do not like to preach
the message of Allah to non-muslims and they
want to slaughter them one by one without leaving
any mercy and hope for their repentance.
The revelations (or Ayat, lit. 'Signs of God') - which
Muhammad reported receiving until his death - form
the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the
'Word of God' and around which the religion is based.
Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad's life (sira) and
traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They
discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with
reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him
whenever their names are mentioned. While
conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom
and premodern times were largely negative, appraisals
in modern times hve been far less so. Besides this, his
life and deeds have been debated by followers and
opponents over the centuries. .[/quote]

tintingz: The fact still remains that wife second, third, forth prefer to marry a man with a wife already.

I'm being rational here and that's the logic truth.

There are thousands of men this women can marry but why do they prefer to be a second wife? The problem with you people is that you only argue about the man marrying multiple wives but what about the women accepting the proposal to be a second wife?

well, i'l be repeating myself if i'm respond to ur post above because my previous post has answerd evry issue u raised here. Maybe u didnt understand wot i wrote sha.

Nonetheless, u dont have to convince me abt d 'supposed' beauty of polygamy because jst as u are entitled to ur opinion, so i am also.
And tho u made mention earlier that u come frm a 'happy' polygamous home, still, i'm wholly sure dat ur mom wud had preferd more to be ur dad's only wife (same with the other wife too). But since wishes are not horses, she has used d lemons God gave her to make good lemonade frm it.
Limited choices(e.g absense of desired bachelor as suitor) & no-choice-at-all(e.g pregnancy induced marriages, forced marriage by guardian e.t.c) are the vital reasons some women agree to marry married men.
So @tintinz, u need not sweat it ok? At least So far, from all the ladies posts on this thread, i can see dat none hopes for a polygamous home; thus, this ought to tell u something.

tintingz: @bold

And who told you these women prefer polygamy to monogamy if i may ask? Women who decide to end up as 2nd-xtra wife are usually women who do not have a better monogamy option available to them; thats reality as it is.
I know you may want to drag the argument unnecessarily as usual, bt thats ok because we all are entitled to our respective opinions.
That 2nd, 3rd or more wife you see would always wish she was the only one in the man's life (or wish she met & married him earlier b4 the 1st). Reason may be because she saw in the man things she loves & cant get/find in other single men.
{In other words, if you are to present these choices for her: the man(she loves) as a single & the same man as someone's hubby(married), she'l surely chose the man in his single state because he'l be all for her}

Nothwitstanding, you are still entitled to your opinion, so no need for further arguments.

Interesting read thus far. Anyways, i'm yet to hear any lady wish a polygamous marriage for herself or prefer polygamy to monogamy.
Hence, i wont be wrong to conclude that only some men support polyamy wholly because they are the only beneficiaries of it. However IMHO, polygamy reeks of sheer greed by the men that indulge in it (like some nlanders also pointed out on the thread).
No child, whether male or female, wishes to see his/her parents practise polygamy.
So the excuse that the wife & child(ren) also benefit from polyamy is utter b.s.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Netanyahu, HAMAS And Dearth Of Reason In Middle East by Zags001: 9:48am On Jul 23, 2014
2good: I have 2 questions to ask. The first is why didn't Europe/ America and UN create a state for Israel in one of the lands in either Europe or America? The second question is, how will Nigerians today feel if the Brits had displaced them from Nigeria forcefully, relocated the Jews from Europe after second war to take their lands while destroying Nigerian settlements in the process? I am very sure that Nigerians will create militia uprising which will be label as a terrorist group, like the Jews had several uprising against the Germans during the second world war and they were labelled as terrorist by the Germans.
Remember that most citizens of Israel came from Europe, so what they are doing to the Palestinians is no different from what Europeans did to American Indians, Australian Aborigines and Africans between 18th and 20th century. Remember also that Nelson Mandela was once labelled a terrorist because he tried to fight against white ruler ship in South Africa but he is revered today globally because times have changed.
Judaism is a religious based conviction that Jews are special people and is in no way different from extremist Islamist. People speaking against the Palestinians should be happy that they were not born in Palestinian where you do not have a Nationality or a Passport to even travel out because the US and Israel have thwarted every effort of the Palestinians getting their own nation while Israel is expanding its illegal settlement and destroying more Palestinian homes. I still don't understand how people allow the media to brain wash them in the midst of all these facts



I honestly agree to a 2-state solution because dats d most viable option available for peace to be restored. D Palestinians need to hav their own markd sovereign state, as well as d Isreal.
But to say dey want to drive out d Isrealis entirely frm dt region or totally exterminate d "zionists" frm d land (as Hamas hv stated dey wil) is a big joke dat wil only keep causing d deaths of many innocent lives.

Kindly reread my post pls cos it seems u didnt understand my comment. There's no correlation btween my post & ur response at all.
My point is dat Hamas shuld stop d rocket attacks as soon as possible & work towards actualisin d 2-state option wit Isreal because Isreal hs alrdy establishd its territory there, hence, it wil be utter foolishness for Hamas to keep attemptin to completely drive out d Isrealis frm their alrdy markd territory via rocket attacks & oda violent attacks.

Hamas should be held accountable for d sufferin, deaths & pain presently being xperienced by d palestinians.
Isreal has d absolute right to defend itself & d sooner Hamas accept to recognise d state of Isreal a country dat hs come to stay, d better for d palentinians in general.
Alot of countries in d world came into existence 1st as occupiers & sm even had to annihilate almost all of d original indigenes of such occupied lands, bt i dont see any1 forcing such countries out of their markd territories nw because it is a vry stupid thing to do dat wil only cause more pain & bloodshed. Rather, d parties to both sides hv since embraced d path of peace & learnt to respect each oda, while living amicably togeda.
So my advise to Hamas is to learn to live amicably wit Isreal & stop tryin to totally drive dem out of their alrdy markd territory. Hamas must recognise d 2-state solution, stop d rocket attacks & allow peace to reign permanently in dat region.

Islam for Muslims / Re: A Muslim's View Of The Ban On Alcohol In Kano State by Zags001: 10:59am On Dec 05, 2013
tiarabubu:

Unfortunately, you are not a very good debater that is why I seldom reply you. In your haste to reply you very easily lose context, focus and synergy. I will make an exception today and give a short reply for the sake of your minions. And by the way, the answer to Muslim's missteps is not "Non-Muslims did it too" or "Non-Muslims caused it".


Unfortunately, comparing the biased action of a University with that of a whole State like kano confirms your lack of ability to balance an argument. Unfortunately for you, what you are saying this has been a reoccuring complaint of the Non-Muslim community in places like UDU and even KSU. It is no qualms for Kastina state to build 34 of Mosques with government funds (over a quarter of a billion naira) while some of its citizens are non-muslims and it has more pressing socioeconomic problems! But I let it be so you go figure.


The resistance to Islamic banking was about the CBN using government money to promote a bank that is based on religion. This was the reason for the opposition - e.g. setting up of "expert Council" within the CBN made up of Islamic Scholars, using CBN money to promote the bank etc. That was CAN's official position. Of course, others misunderstood, misinterpreted and of course even some Christians misunderstood CAN's official position. CAN's position carried the day as CBN allowed private individuals to fund the bank and did not carry out that misstep of using government money to spend on a religious based bank. And crucially, there were no burning of mosques and murders etc during the Islamic banking debate.

As per your opposition to drinking, thats your problem. As bad as it is, as long as it is not illegal, you can only persuade people through education and reason not some brute force 16 century style of coercion.

As per people not covering up... What is your idea of covering up? If a lady dresses normally and decently and you are still hot under the collar because of exposed hair or face, check yourself. Its your twisted perverted mind that is the problem and not the girl.

As per the Christmas tree, you are joking right? When Muslims were at the helm and bought hundreds of goats and distributed during sallah at the government expense, who complained? Did you know the Minister of FCT and almost all northern governors distributed rams with government money too? Who protested? I was in Nigeria during the last Sallah and many major intersections in Abuja had large signboards proclaiming Sallah greetings from the MFCT, who protested? In fact I will stop here before I unwittingly become guilty of what I am accusing you of.



Just know that Kano was wrong in that action, pure and simple. That action should be judged for what it is . Claiming non-muslims "actions" as the basis for the action is sooooo lame.
Best post so far on dis thread. @tiarababu, u ar realli brain. Keep it up!
