The dude is a sick a$$. I wonder why they allowed him to be running around freely when he should be cooling his behind in a rehabilitation home.

Is the governor a former class-room teacher? #Just asking

Nebeuwa: Seems like she was lying.

It's a claim that can be easily verified. She did not say she was insulted, she said she was set ablaze. If truely what she said happened, the scars should be there to tell the story. The police should stop speculating and just do their job.

@Obnelly and others, your response to my question are priceless and greatly appreciated. I'm away from home on official assignment....will return home to put your suggestions to use, soon. Thanks, once again.
BTW, I use a mpeg 4 receiver and a 2.4 metre dish.

obnelly: if i was you.i will first track amos5 using 11885v27500 once you have best signal strength input 10804 h 29999.and move your dish up there you are on eutelsat w3c.
I hope you get where you are getting it wrong.instead of you inputting 10804 you put 0 instead of 4.so dust your equipment and back to work.astranco if you are very smart you have what you are looking for in my epistle to xpset.happy tracking.

I tracked eutelsat w3c using the Tp and Sr u gave above but got a near-successful result....got a signal strength of over 70% but no Tv channel popped-up after scanning the sat. What could be the problem?

Only a foolish shepherd will sit back, keep quiet and watch while his sheeps are being butchered by a ravaging beast every day and pastor Oritsejafor is not a foolish shepherd. HE IS MY NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER, ANYDAY!

Blackbody20: Either the fool likes it or not. ACN will emerge come october 20.

^Nothing get me pissed-off like such thuggish comment above.

I have a great admiration for some of the players in the ACN but the way they carry-on sometimes, makes it difficult for me to differentiate them from the PDP members.

Aderostock: OMG! So mimiko can be nervous and intimidated. I said it and all should mark my words ' ACN will win come next week saturday'.

Do I need to say Oshomole was also nervous and intimidated? But he won the Edo guber election.

Their greatest selling point is their ability to dance.
BTW, I heard Zimbabwe economy is in shambles. I hope they will not end up being owed performance fee.

Maku did the right thing by apologising. The nation does not need unnecessary bickering between the executive and the legislature when there are so many pressing national issues to be addressed.

omiobo: Yes! Him for no apologise he for hear am.

How much 4 d space? I wan buy.

Why is this man so obsessed with Israel? Can't he live and let others live?

ignis: If this type of things keep happening i think husbands will stop beating their wives.

hehehehe....are you by any chance recommending this unfortunate incidence as a panacea for checking wife battering?

What a tragedy! Domestic violence is always very costly....from the psychological damage it cause's, to physical damage and death as in this case.

olenyi: @All.
For those in the east who has been clamouring for star times. I can authoritatively confirm dat STAR TIMES in now in Enugu. Saw dem now off-loading a trailer load of their receivers at their office (Asata chemist bus-stop, ogui road, enugu.). Though i was in a hurry, but heard something like #5900 for the receiver wit 2 months free and #1000 for the monthly subscription. But will later go and inquire fully. Will keep the house posted.

NB: am not one of dem. Just updating the house.

Interesting! Pls, keep the updates coming.

Issokay!

Shady swag: That is one very wonderful pet.till death do them part

Hehehehe....even death could not do them part.

Why would any one be taking snap shots at a private prayer meeting like this?

It look like a scene from a Nollywood movie and the fellow being prayed for....is he really D'banj?

Can anyone explain the 'military' corridor and 'we never heard from them again' thingy, I didn't get that part.

First of all, I agree with you that Islamic scholars need to work towards enlightening the overzealous and the misguided ones amongst us as per Qur'an 9:29.

Secondly, I dont have the time to enlighten you on the reason/rationale for the revelation of Qur'an 9:29. In order to understand it, you need to read more of the chapter, understand it and appreciate the history of Islam during the time of the prophet (pbuh). Specifically, you should read the commentaries about the period of turmoil when this verse was revealed. Basically, it had to do with hypocrisy and betrayal by the people of the book (Jews and Christians of that time) in Madina with whom he (Muhammad, pbuh) had a pact. I will refer you to this link: http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/quran_929_commentary/

But I am not surprised by your reaction. All of a sudden Matthew 10:34 is now a passive statement? .... "I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword"? Did you say the statement did not refer to bodily harm - abeg, which gospel and which verse did Jesus make this clarification? Or did one ancient monk forget to translate that part? I beg, I want to see the proof. Do you have the Hebrew version? Maybe he meant toothpick, and not sword. The statement is as clear as water. Unless you are telling us that the sword referred to here by Jesus, is meant for peeling potato, abi? You cannot use the word "peace" and "sword" in the same breath and tell us you were referring to something other than what it clearly means. Translate Matthew 10:34 to Nupe, Kalabari, Twi, Ashante or Creole language: it means the same thing. Let me give you the Pidgin version of Matthew 10:34: Jizoz talk say: "I nor carry bodi come salute una for yonder, Make nobodi try me - see di cutlass wey I hold for hand!".

But you know what, we Muslims know the true message of Jesus. So we dont hold Matthew 10:34 against any of you. Unlike how majority of you hold us by the Jugular as if we were all members of Al-Qaida or Boko Haram.

But let us not digress too much from the main topic.

The crux of the matter is that a muslim leader has come out to condemn the demands of Boko Haram that GEJ (or anyone else) must convert to Islam. Within the first two pages of this thread, most of you here have actively insulted the Sheikh and his religion. Some of you went as far as Shia-nism him, as if that would make him more (or less) peaceful than if he was a Sunni Sheikh (see me, see wahala).

When we Muslims keep quiet, you complain that we are passively supporting Boko Haram. Now that we are talking, some of you are here spewing gutter lyrics and calling us names.

The truth is many of you are uncomfortable with us, because we defy your twisted logic and expectations. Many of you would have preferred that the Sheikh (and all Muslims) kept quiet and not condemn Boko Haram. That way, you can all live happily ever after in your blissfully ignorant, ehen-i-told-you-so bubble that all Muslims are violent people.

How many violent Muslims have you honestly met (one-on-one) in your lifetime?

^It's more like you are having the impression that I am anti-Islam. I am not anti-Islam, rather I am anti-evil. Some of my best friends are moslems and I cannot possibly make friends with people whose religion I abhored.But like every good Nigerian, I owe it a responsibility to speak or write on anything i feel has the potential to spell doom for the country like the boko haram phenomenon.
Now, on the issue of content and contex, I really don't know whether to translate mathew 10:34 in yoruba language to make you understand that the statement does not in any way demand that christians should take up arms against any body. May be i should restate the succeeding verses of mathew 10:34 to help quell your ignorance:
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
I hope the information above helps and I hope for time sake that you won't have to drag on this conversation for vain sake.

If we start this Adolf Hitler argument, e nor go end until 2013.

Next thing now, you will ask me to quote where the Popes who ruled between 1095 until 1272 AD told their Kings (of Europe), their Knights and foot soldiers that they should wage the Crusade for 300 years abi? Or that I should quote which verse of the Bible commanded them to do so, abi? What matters is that they committed all these atrocities and used the Church and Christianity actively in the process.

No vex, broda. I dey fast abeg. I nor get time for long tori. Google all the details yourself.

In summary: calling God, does not make someone Godly. Same argument applies to Boko Haram. There actions are unislamic and no true muslim will ever defend the killing of innocent people. Do you KNOW the Islamic consequence of murder? (Hint: it is NOT turn the other cheek).

^I was hoping you where going to say boko haram are not learned in the things of Islam and sloppily say they quoted Quran 9v29 out of context.....the usual vague submission by some, but you disappointed me by admiting that it's okay to kill as indicated by your write-up in bold letters.
Food for thought for you: If it's okay to kill, even if done in obedience to the mosaic principle of an-eye-for-an-eye, don't you think such action will leave the whole world blind, someday?

drzed:

No. Muslims dont need to work hard to prove jack!

The difference between we Muslims and you Christians is that you take every bad action of any Muslim as being representative of Islam. We muslims do not generalise the bad actions of some Christians as representative of Christianity. Otherwise we Muslims would blame each and every Christian for:

1). The killing of 6 million Jews and 20 Million Russians by Adolf Hitler - with the connivance of German (and some say papal)Church
2). The massacre of millions of native North American Indians by land-hungry European Christians
3). The murdering of millions of native South Americans by the Spanish Conquistadors
4). The byatch-slapping of presumed witches by your pastors, especially those in Nigeria;
5). The molestation of kids by your 'holy' preachers, especially of the Catholic kind.
6)._________________________(Anyone can fill in the blanks here)....
7)....And list more here.
8].......... And even more here.

We Muslims do not generalise. We know that not all Christians are bad, just as we acknowledge that there are bad Muslims among us. So what is the difference between us? Well, you may not believe in what we believe; you may not like or tolerate us, but we judge each and every one of you according to his words and his deeds. The truth is that we KNOW about you because we were told (and warned) about you in the Glorious Quran. But for you, we on the other hand remain a mystery, an enigma, and unknown phenomenon which you love to hate. Simply because you refuse to even 'consider' making an attempt to know us.

Learn to separate a religion (yes, including Christianity) from its practitioners. The former may be ideal, the latter is definitely not, due to human tendency to err.

A little research about what Islam truly means and what a true Muslim is really like, cannot surely hurt you, will it? But no, most of you would rather believe CNN or what others tell you. For crying out loud: READ!

ps: The very first word revealed in the Glorious Qur'an happened to be 'READ'.

^In every society, there are both bad and good people and religion is supposed to be an instrument with which to correct the wrong attitudes and disposition of the bad people in the society.
But when boko haram as an Islamic sect, goes to a christian church to kill as many people as they like and then come out to tell the whole world that their action is based on the instruction of their holy book (Quran chapter 9v29), Should we then blame the christians if they become wary of the Islamic religion?
Besides, the German and other incidence you sited were ocassioned largely by the delusional belief in racial superiority and not necessarily by religious belief. Perhaps, you may wish to tell me where Aldof Hitler is quoted as saying he was inspired by certain scriptural verse in the Bible to kill the Jews in Germany.

blank: So, why were people arrested in Kano for not fasting?

^Sheik gumi is being economical with the truth.I wonder who he is hoping to fool with his lies.

gboss4sure: Madness. Can they tell us their stand on Boko Haram. Make dem no make me start flying my biafra flag from tonight

^Abeg, begin fly the flag jorrr.....na your right!

Whymee:

You re not new to NL, Muslims all over the world have and has been Condeming BH in media, mosque and at other platform, are u sure you have not hear such condemnation.
If I site Rev King, committing atrocity right inside the church, do i need to wait for him until he pronounce he his doing it under christianinty doctrine.

Yet you keep referring BH as Muslims, these will continue generating conflict on this platform.
What am advocating for is that we should all not take side in our respective comment, let us collectively call them SATANIC SECT FOR PEACE TO REIGN ON ALL NL MUSLIM AND CHRISTIANS.


BE WISE.

^Rev. King did not go to a mosque to kill moslems. He only hurt those who were gullible enough to believe in his doctrines and worship in his church. Boko haram, on the other hand is an Islamic set that has told Nigerians time without number that their Allah instructed them in Quran 9v29 to kill anybody who doesn't believe in Allah and that include christians and perhaps people like you who are busy defending the indefensible instead of owing up to the truth that something is actually wrong with Quaran 9v29.

Abu-Ruqayya:
muslim are always protected by Almighty Allah.... while.christian are godless and faceless people that is why they are always at the disadvantage.

^Another sill.y bokoharamist on the loose.
