explain what u understand from each picture

lol

i will love to thank you guys for understanding me.


I know this could be possible knowing the fact that some ladies are very wayward. What if they entered into a relationship before bleeping each other? secondly, how did u know about this, any previous experience?

yes, it happened in my area, to a very close friend.


Ok this part is really interesting. I can say authoritatively that muslims are equally more guilty that christians when it come to early morning noise. do u agree? Reason. In my neighbourhood daily, its the early morning islamic prayer calls that wake pple up for 365/366 days in a year. As early as 4.30/5.00am the clarion call begins and u know how noisy the megaphone is especially when the atmosphere is calm in the early hours of the day. It doesnt stop there. 1.30/2.00pm, 3.30/4.00pm, 6.30/7.00pm and finally 7.30/8.00pm. Some mosque do bizebililah(money for God) on tuesday and sunday morning. The disturbance extends from dark early morning hours till around 10am same day.

As regards noise, i think it falls to one side than to the other

yes, i agree with u on this.

but the muslim noise is not aimed toward winning anybody's heart, but a religious obligation. i.e to call fellow brothers asleep to rise up. and immediately we hear dat, we standup knowing its time to pray.

but the xtian side is not toward any particular thing, just preaching.

safe

may his soul rest.

another blow for d genry

hey teslim.

i am looking forward to hear from you.

i want to introduce my guy to u, his name is lubbar B.

if you are interestd, you can get to me for more info.

we are currently working to get him a record lable to release his album

08076976917
07066479760

hey brothers,

i mean no insult to any one or religion, just expressing my opinion about this issue.


some times, you see some xtians coming into people's house in the name of preaching yet some of the ladies end up being bleeped by the same people they came to preach to.

sometimes early morning, u see some men and women with microphone preaching around the area when people are still sleeping, their noise end up waking us up, its annoying you know.

I no many of us had seen this happen, so what do you think.?

i do not think this contribute to winning people's heart genuinely.

@violent, u said almost 70% of my post is about gbadamosi, i have been on this forum for about 3 years,i have 502 post, how do u arrive at ur figure?


this clearly show u re on the paylist of fashola.

u even went as far as lying against him.

OMG

discus4now@yahoo.com

@violent. just shut up and think.

some haters keep condemning this guys, but from all angle, he as proven without doubt that he his ready for constructive argument.

so y lie against him?

Nuhu Ribadu: “My Story; My Vision”
Written by Chido Onumah

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) will formally present his book “My Story; My Vision” to the public on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, at THISDAY Dome in Abuja. The book was inspired by Mallam Ribadu’s experiences during his quarter century of public service as well as the years he spent living in exile in the United Kingdom and the United States where he continued his
commitment to good governance in Nigeria and across the globe.

Nuhu Ribadu
The book is structurally divided into three moments of his life. The first section covers his childhood through school life, but particularly in family settings where he learnt those early lessons in public concerns from his parents and teachers.

The second section has been published as an extended monograph in the United States through Mallam Ribadu’s collaboration with co-author, Caroline Lambert, and the Center for Global Development. It covers his professional life in law enforcement roles, and in the terrain of anti-graft enforcement in particular.

The last section represents Mallam Ribadu’s current reflections on how to regenerate the energies necessary for our country to reset its social, political and economic valve. He focuses on nine policy themes and briefly highlights some of the critical issues that can be addressed to bring about that urgent improvement in the well being of our people.

Since his return to Nigeria in the middle of this year, his new terrain of engagement has shifted sharply to politics as a means of continuing his public service. After extensive consultation, and the compelling pull of many young compatriots who ask that we all return to the abandoned task of rebuilding our badly abused nation, Mallam Ribadu not too long ago made known his intention to run for our country’s top executive level office. The last section of this book is therefore his own blueprint for the new Nigerian century of hope and rebirth.

In the words of Paul Wolfowitz, former dean of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, Washington DC, and former President of the World Bank, “My Story; My Vision is a compelling account of some of the challenges and successes of (fighting corruption) and it provides a valuable analysis of how developing countries can battle this scourge that keeps so many of them poor and how the rest of the world can help”.

Also to be presented is a revealing book on Mallam Ribadu: entitled “A PARADISE FOR MAGGOTS: The Story of a Nigerian Anti-graft Czar”. The book is written by Wale Adebanwi, assistant professor at the University of California, Davis, USA.

Adebanwi’s book is an elegant analysis of corruption in Nigeria and the role Mallam Ribadu played in stemming the scourge. It is praised by author of Africa’s most famous novel, Professor Chinua Achebe - who wrote the foreword - as “a salient document depicting an important crusader for justice.’

On his part, Professor Richard Joseph, author of one of the most acclaimed scholarly accounts of democratic governance in Nigeria, ‘Democracy and Prebendal Politics in Nigeria,’ states that the question that confronts readers of Adebanwi’s ‘searing expose’ is this: ‘Will the cesspools of corruption in Nigeria be forever drained and will this great nation discover the path to democratic prosperity?

Ahead of the 2011 General Elections, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, will unveil his official campaign website (www.nuhuribadu.com) on Monday, December 13, 2010. The interactive multi-media platform which will showcase the programmes and activities of Mallam Ribadu will offer unique features and will be radically different from other campaign websites in the country.

On Wednesday, December 15, 2010, Mallam Ribadu will formally make a public declaration to contest for president in the 2011 general elections. The event takes place at International Conference Centre. Mallam Ribadu will have the chance to present his programmes and plans to Nigerians.

The policies he will be proposing are policies that will enable the country manage the difficulties that our citizens are presently grappling with. Being mindful of the fact that problems which took several decades to seed, take root and consolidate will not be amenable to quick fixes, these are not quick fixes. They are structured to tackle immediate problems in the short term even as medium and long-term challenges are kept in focus and solutions to them carefully worked out.

He will focus on nine policy themes and briefly highlight some of the critical issues that can be addressed to improve the well being of our own people. The policy themes are Human Capital Development, the Economy, Infrastructure, Governance, Youth Employment, Agriculture and Food Security, Defence and National Security, Niger Delta, and Foreign Policy.

Head of Media, Ribadu Campaign Organisation

With the level of attention presently focused on this page by paid agents-provocateur of the ruling cabal, I believe exposing and criticising the stooge in power is germane if only to open their eyes and rescue them from political harakiri. What if some of us start mentioning the ills of this cabal such as the 23million euro Sunborn Yacht Hotel they brought in that has not made a kobo till date?

I urge all well-meaning Lagosians to join me in encouraging the incumbent administration to negotiate an end to the tertiary institutions lecturers strike in Lagos State. Just as we were able to persuade them to stop the blood-letting occassioned by the doctors strike, we can convince them to save our children's futures. It's now four months since the students have been at home. Eko o ni baje, ju bayi lo!!

learn to live islamically,

Aspects of Islamic Etiquette

By Abdur-Rahman A. Al-Sheeha
P.O. Box 59565, Riyadh 11535, Saudi Arabia

Taken from the Author’s book “The Message Of Islam”.

The Islamic Law has introduced and propagated a cluster of public ethics. At the same time, it warned of failure to strictly abide by it, as this will entail punishment in the Hereafter. Imam Muslim narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Do you know who is the bankrupt?” They answered: A bankrupt among us is the person who has neither money nor property. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The bankrupt in my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, zakat and fasting, yet he used to insult, slander, slay and beat others. Thus claimants are rewarded according to their good deeds. If one’s good deeds are gone, he is punished for his ill deeds until he is thrown into Hell.”

1- Dining Ethics:

1. Start eating with the name of Allah (Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem) and conclude with praising and thanking Allah (Al-Hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-Aalameen). Eat from the nearest side of the dish to you and use your right hand, because the left hand is generally used for cleaning dirt.

Bukhari and Muslim narrated on the authority of ‘Umar Ibn Abi Salamah, may Allah be pleased with them, that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said to him: “Mention the name of Allah, eat with your right hand and eat from the nearest side of the dish.”

2. Never complain or disapprove of food whatsoever.

Bukhari and Muslim narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that; “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has never found fault with any food. If he liked it, he would eat it, if not he would just leave it.”

3. Avoid eating or drinking to excess in the light of the Qur’anic words:

“Eat and drink, but be not prodigal. Lo! He loves not the prodigals.” (The Qur'an, Al-Aaraf 7:31) And the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s words: “The son of Adam (man) has never filled a vessel worse than his stomach. If there is no way out, let there be a third for his meal, another for his drink and another for his breath.” (Narrated by Ahmad)

4. Never breath or blow into vessels. According to Ibn Abbas the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Forbade breathing or blowing into the dish.” (Al Tirmidhi)

5. Eat with others, not alone, since Allah’s Messenger says:

“Gather around your food so that it may be blessed.” (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

6. If you are invited to a meal and you take somebody with you, you should seek permission for him. According to Abu Mas’ud Al-Badri, may Allah be pleased with him, a man invited Allah’s The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) to a meal along with four other people. A man followed the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). At the door, the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said to the host:

“This man has come with us: If you’permit, he will come in; if not he will go back.” The host said: I give him my permission, O Allah’s Messenger.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

2. Ethics of Seeking Permission:

There are two kinds of ethics: a. Those relating to out-of-door formalities: “O you who believe! Enter not houses other than your own without first announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof, ” (The Qur'aan, Chapter An-Nur, 24: 27) b. Those relating to indoor formalities: “And when the children among you come to puberty then let them ask permission even as those before them used to ask it, ” (Qur’an, Chapter An-Nur, 24: 59) This is all intended to keep household secrets and protect the privacy of homes, as pointed out in the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s saying: “Asking permission is intended for sight protection.” (Bukhari and Muslim) It is advisable not to persist in asking permission: “You have to ask permission three times. If you are not allowed in, go back.” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)


3. Ethics of Greeting (Salam)

Islam has encouraged the custom of greetings among the members of Society because it leads to love and friendship. This is supported by the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s Hadith: “You will never enter Paradise until you become believers, and you will not become believers until you love each other. Shall I guide you to something that makes you love each other? Spread greetings with peace among you.” (Muslim) - Answering a greeting is obligatory: “When you are greeted with a greeting, reply with a better one or return it, ” (The Qur’an, Chapter An-Nisa’a, 4: 86)

Islam has also explained obligations in matters of greeting priorities. According to the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “A rider should greet a pedestrian, a pedestrian should greet him who is seated, and a small number of people should greet a bigger number.” (Narrated by both Bukhari and M) In one narration by Bukhari, it is added: A little or young person should greet an older one).

4. Ethics of Sitting:

1. Greet attendants of the meeting or gathering. It is stated by Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “If one comes to a meeting he should say: Assalamu Alaykum! (I.e. Peace be upon you!) And on leaving he should do the same, for the first greeting is not more important than latter.” (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

2. It is not appropriate to ask someone to leave his sitting place for someone else: “Never should anyone of you make someone rise from his place and sit in his place; rather, make more room for others to sit.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

3. “If someone leaves his sitting place then returns to it, he will have more right to it”, as stated by the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.” (Muslim)

4. Never separate two persons sitting: “It is not permissible for a man to separate two men (by inserting himself sitting between them) unless they give permission.” (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

5. Never talk to a friend privately in the presence of a third person: “If there are three of you, never should two of them talk without the third until you mix with other people, for this would grieve the third.” (Bukhari)

6. Never sit in the middle of a circle or group of people: “Damned is he who sits in the middle of a sitting group.” (Abu Dawud)

7. Leave space for others to sit: “O you who believe! When it is said, make room in assemblies, then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is said, come up higher! Go up higher; Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is Well-Aware of what you do.” (The Qur’an, Chapter Al-Mujadalah, 58: 11)

8. It is desirable to suppress yawning as far as possible as it is a sign of laziness: “Yawning is from Satan, so when one of you yawns let him try to repel it as far as possible, for if one utters ‘Ha!’ (When yawning) the devil will laugh at him.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

9. About sneezing, the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) says: “If one of you sneezes, let him say: Praise be to Allah! And his Muslim brother should say to him: May Allah have mercy on you! upon which he answers: May Allah guide you and make you well.” (Bukhari) It is also advisable for a person, as stated by Allah’s Messenger on the authority of Abu Hurairah, “on sneezing, to cover his mouth with his hand or garment and suppress his voice.” (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

10. Avoid belching while sitting in the presence of others. According to Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, one man belched in the presence of Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, upon which the Messenger said to him: “stop belching, The biggest eaters in this worldly life will be the hungriest in the Hereafter.” (Tirmidhi Bin Majah)

11. The assembly should not be busy with nonsense or void of the remembrance of Allah and useful discussions of worldly and religious affairs. Allah’s messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said in this connection: “Any people who rise from an assembly in which the name of Allah is not mentioned are like those who rise from around a donkey’s carrion, and the assembly will be a source of sorrow for them.” (Abu Dawud)

12. A person should not face those sitting with him with what they dislike.

5. Ethics of Gathering:

Islam respects the feeling of people who gather at a place to make gathering desirable and repel all that causes people to hate gathering. Therefore, Islam instructs its followers to be clean-bodied, with no bad smell, and clean-dressed, with no disgusting sights. It also instructs them to listen to the speaker without interrupting him and to sit where they find room without stepping over people’s necks or causing them any inconvenience by pressing against them. This is supported by the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s saying while addressing Muslims during Friday sermon: “Whoever has a bath on Friday, puts on the best of his clothes, puts some scent on if any, then attends Friday prayer without crossing over people’s necks and performs whatever rak’as he could, then keeps quiet when the Imam mounts the pulpit until he concludes prayer, his prayer will be an atonement for the whole week preceding that prayer”. (Abu Dawud).

6. Etiquette of Conversation:

1. Listen to the speaker without interrupting him until he finishes talking. In his speech during the Farewell Pilgrimage, Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “Ask people to keep quiet.” (Bukhari and Muslim).

2. Talk clearly so that the listener may understand you. Ayeshah, the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s wife, said: “The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s words were so clear-cut that everyone could understand them.” (Abu Dawud)

3. Cheer up and speak pleasantly. This is in accordance with the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s Hadith: “Do not underestimate any kind of acts, even to receive your brother cheerfully.” (Muslim), and his other Hadith: “A good word is an act of kindness.” (Bukhari and Muslim). Al-Hussain, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “I asked my Father about the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s behavior among his companions”, to which he answered: “He was always cheerful, easy mannered and lenient. He was not rough, noisy, vulgar, insulting, or miserly. He used to overlook what he dislikes without depriving others of hope or answering them negatively. He refrained from disputation, prattling and curiosity. He spared others from three things: He never censured, found fault with or spied on them. He spoke only what he hoped would be rewarded. When he spoke, his listeners lowered their head quietly and when he was silent they spoke. They never spoke haphazardly in front of him. If one talked in his presence they listened to him until he had finished. He used to laugh and wonder at what they laughed or wondered at. He was patient with strangers who were rude in both their talk and requests.”

7. Etiquette of Joking:

1. Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to his companion Hanzala, who thought that life should be free from fun and entertainment and that he committed hypocrisy when he played and jested with his wife and children: “But, Hanzala, refresh your heart from time to time.” (Muslim). Here the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) explained to the man that permissible fun and self-refreshment is desirable for the human soul to regain its activity and liveliness. He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also taught them the rules of conduct as regards joking, when asked about his joking with them, by saying: “Yes, but I speak truthfully.” (Tirmidhi).

2. Once an old woman came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for me to be admitted into Paradise. He said: "No old woman will be admitted into Paradise. On hearing this she went away crying. He said: Tell her that she won’t be an old woman when she goes into Paradise. Allah, the Exalted, says: “Lo! We have created them a (new) creation and made them virgins, lovers, friends.” (Qur’an, Chapter Al-Qamar, 54: 35-37)

3. Allah’s Messenger’s jokes were not limited to words, they included acts as well. Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “A bedouin called Zaher used to bring presents from the desert to the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used also to supply him with provisions on leaving. He said about him: “Zaher is our ‘desert’ and we are his ‘city’. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) loved him, though he was ugly-faced. One day, the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) came to him while he was selling some goods. He hugged him from the back unawares. Zaher said: “Release me.” Then he looked behind him and recognized the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), so he pressed his back against the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s chest. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) called out: “Who purchases this slave?” Zaher said: “O Messenger of Allah, You will find me not sellable”. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) answered: “But to Allah, you are not unsalable, or he said: To Allah, you are so dear”. (Tirmidhi)

4. A joke should not involve any hurt or insult to any Muslim. Allah’s Messenger said: “No Muslim is allowed to scare another Muslim.” (Abu Dawud) He also said: “Nobody should take (Muslim) brother’s belongings.” (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

5. Joking should not drive a Muslim to lie in order to make others laugh; this is understood from the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s words: “Woe to him who lies when speaking to make people laugh. Woe to him! Woe to him!”


8. Etiquette of Condolence:

1. Condolence has been prescribed to console the dead person’s family, relieve their sorrows and alleviate their distress. Allah’s Messenger said: “A believer who condoles with his brother on a bereavement will be dressed by Allah in the robes of honor and glory on the Day of Resurrection”

2. There is no specific formula for condolence. However, Imam Shafi’i recommended the expression: “May Allah magnify your reward, give you solace and forgive your deceased one.”

3. It is desirable to prepare food for the family of the deceased as is clear from the following Hadith: “Make food for Ja’afar’s family as they are distracted by the event.”

9. Etiquette of Sleeping:

1. Mention the name of Allah: “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem” and lie on your right side in accordance with the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s words to Al-Baraa bin Azeb: “If you want to go to bed, perform ablution as that for prayer, then lie down on your right side, and say: O Allah! I submit myself to You, and turn my face towards You, and confide my cause unto You, and take refuge in You, out of love and fear of You. There is no refuge or escape from You except in You. I believe in Your Book, which You have revealed and Your Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), whom You have sent as Messenger.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

2. “Do not sit late at night and do your best to sleep early unless there is some need or necessity. It is narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) disliked sleeping before Isha’ (evening) Prayer and (sitting and) talking after it.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

3. Do not sleep on your belly, as this was prohibited by the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam): “Such manner of lying down is disliked by Allah.” (Abu Dawud)

4. Make sure there is nothing that hurts you at your bed, as recommended by the gracious The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) : “When one of you goes to bed, he should clear his bed with part of his loincloth as he does not know what is lying inside after he has left it, and let him say”: Allahumma bika wada’tu janbi, wabika arfauh. Allahumma in amsakta nafsi faghfir laha, wa in arsaltaha fahfazha bima tahfazu bihi ibadakas-Salihan. (O Allah! With Your name I have lain on my side, and with Your name I raise it. O Allah! If You hold my soul (i.e. take my life), then have mercy on it, and if You return it, then protect it with what You protect Your pious servants) (Bukhari and Muslim)

5. Take care and ward off the sources of danger. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “This fire is an enemy to you, so when you want to sleep put it off”. (Bukhari)

10. Etiquette of Marital Sexual Relations:

1. It is desirable, before cohabitation with one’s wife or husband to mention the name of Allah. “When one of you cohabits with his wife, if he says, ‘In the name of , O Allah! Keep us away from Satan, and keep Satan away from (the offspring) that you may grant us,’ and then if a child is born out of this union, Satan will have no access to hurt that child.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

2. Private relations between husband and wife must be kept secret, as stated in the following Hadith: “The worst in position of all people in the estimation of Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who cohabits with his wife or the woman who cohabits with her husband, then either of them divulges the secret of his mate.” (Muslim)

3. Allah’s Messenger recommended love-play, flirtation and kissing prior to sexual intercourse as evidenced by his words to one of his companions: “Don’t make love with her unless she has had the same degree of sexual appetite as you so that you do not discharge before her.” He asked: Should I do this? The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said; “Yes, you kiss, caress and touch her until you find that she has the same degree of erotic urge and excitement as you, then make love with her”. (Imam Ahmad)

4. Husband should not pull out his penis from her vagina until she has finished.

11. Etiquette of Traveling:

1. Return trusts to their owners, settle grievances and debts, and leave for your family sufficient provisions. Never travel alone except in cases of emergency when you find no company. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “One passenger is one devil, two passengers are two devils, but three passengers make a caravan.” (Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Tirmidhi)

2. On traveling, choose good company and select one of you as your leader. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When three people set out on a journey they should appoint one of them as a leader.´ (Abu Dawud)

3. You should inform your family of the time of your arrival back to them. Do not return home at night as this is undesirable so that you should not see anything that you dislikes. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “If one of you is absent from home for a long time, he should not come back to his family by night”. In another version of the Hadith, the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) prohibited a man returning home by night. (Bukhari and Muslim)

4. He should say goodbye to his family, friends and companions, as the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “If one of you intends to set out on a journey, let him say goodbye to his brothers, for Allah Almighty will make in their prayers a blessing for him.”

5. He should return home quickly after he achieve the objective of his journey. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Travel is a piece of anguish as it deprives each traveler (of you) of the facilities of eating, drinking and sleeping. Therefore, when one of you has completed the purpose of his journey he should return home quickly.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

12. Conduct in the Market:

1. Among the rules of behavior in the market are those included in the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)’ s words when he said: “Refrain from sitting in the streets.” The Companions said: “O Messenger of Allah, we have no alternative, there is no other place where we can sit and discuss matters.” Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “If it is so, then in that case, discharge your responsibilities due to the street.”

2. The Companions asked as to what was due to the street. He said: “Keeping your eyes down, clearing the streets of obstacles, responding to Salam greetings, enjoining virtuous deeds and forbidding evil.” (Bukhari and Muslim). In another narration he added: “Helping the aggrieved and guiding the aberrant.” (Abu Dawud)

He also said: “Beware of two cursed practices.” His Companions asked: What are the two cursed practices? He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, answered: “A person answering the call of nature in a public thoroughfare or in a shady place (where people rest).” (Muslim)

3. A passer-by should refrain from carrying harmful weapons or devices, as enjoined by the Gracious Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) who said:. “When any one of you happens to move in our mosque or bazaar with an arrow (in his hand) he must grasp its pointed head in his palm, so that none amongst the Muslims should receive any injury from it.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

13. Etiquette of Buying and Selling

1. In principle, selling is lawful in Islam because it is based on exchange of benefits between the salesman and the purchaser. However, in case any harm occurs to either party, the dealing becomes unlawful based on the following verse: “O you who believe! Squander not your wealth among yourselves in vanity.” (The Qur'aan, Chapter An-Nisa’a, 4: 29)

2. It is also based on the Holy Messenger’s Hadith, when he happened to pass by a heap of eatables (corn). He thrust his hand in that heap and his fingers were moistened. He said to the owner of that heap: “What is this?” He replied: “Messenger of Allah, these have been drenched by rainfall”. He (the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) remarked: “Why did you not place this (the drenched part of the heap) on top so that people could see it? He who deceives is not of me (i.e. not my follower).” (Muslim)

3. Truthfulness and clear description (of defects, if any) is required in accordance with the Holy Messenger’s saying: “Both parties in a business transaction have the right to annul it as long as they have not separated. Thus, if they speak the truth and make everything clear they will be blessed in their transaction; but if they tell a lie and conceal anything, the blessing their transaction will be blotted out." (Bukhari and Muslim)

4. Benevolence and fair dealing is also recommended in business, since this is a means of strengthening seller-buyer relations as pointed out by Allah’s messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “May Allah have mercy on a person who is easy and courteous when he sells, buys or asks for the payment of his dues.” (Bukhari) That is because Islam wants this ease of dealing and tolerance in matters of selling and buying to save people from panting for material interests that undermine brotherly and human relations.

5. Avoid swearing oaths when selling, in compliance with the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ’s instruction: “Avoid too much swearing while selling (your goods), for in the beginning it promotes business and then it brings all loss.” (Muslim)

The above are some of the Islamic Etiquette and ethics, and there are many others that would take a very long time to explain. Nevertheless, it would suffice here to remind that no human affair, private or public, goes without Qur’anic or the Prophetic instruction or guidance that defines or regulates it.

I’ll restructure tax system –Gbadamosi, Lagos PDP governorship aspirant
Babatunde Gbadamosi believes that he is the most qualified person to get the governorship ticket of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As a lawyer turned entrepreneur, he thinks he has the experience to seek elective office and he does not hesitate to tell you that entrepreneurs always make better leaders. He spoke to CHINELO AGINA in Lagos on his aspirations.

Housing and infrastructure
One of the issues militating against Lagos is the issue of housing and infrastructure, and as a player in the property sector, he readily tells you how he intends to tackle it. “It has been done before, and it can be done again. Prof. Wahab Dosunmu was the Minister of Housing during the Shagari administration and we all saw what he achieved nationwide.

The same man is a leading member of the Lagos PDP today. Do you not think that having somebody like that as my leader will translate to a mass-housing programme that Lagosians can be proud of?

Part of my manifesto is to ensure that local governments invest in rural housing so that when they are able to do this, the state government will be able to match what they have been able to achieve. As a player in the housing sector, I have a deep understanding of the issues surrounding accommodation problems in Lagos. One of the problems is the over milking of that sector by the government.

To get a Certificate of Occupancy anywhere in Lagos, you have to pay through your nose, and to get the physical planning approval is another story. After you have paid that, you have to pay LASEMA fees, development levy and strangely enough, you also have to pay Infrastructure Development Charge. My question, which the administration has not been able to answer, is what the development levy is for. This government is operating like the landlord rather than working for the people.

In fact, anything you want to get for the development of your property is centralized in Alausa. If you want to get your documents for a two-storeyed building in Ikorodu or any far-flung city, you have to travel all the way to Alausa and the people at Alausa are so removed from the local situation that they just approve anything. Even when they do, they do it without taking cognizance of how that building might affect the local area.

For instance, when the approval for the Civic Centre on Victoria Island was given, the government did not take cognizance of the parking issues that will arise out of the use of that centre. Now the result is that anytime the centre is put to use, Ozumba Mbadiwe is blocked because of cars packed all over the place.

As far as my administration is concerned, if I am elected, we are going to remove the clogs in Ministry of Physical Planning. We are going to return the bulk of the planning to the Local Authorities, and we will retain what is needed as far as approval is concerned. We are going to abolish the Infrastructure Development Charge because these are some of the things that hinder construction in the state. Construction is not going on the way it ought to, and this has affected the level of development in the state.

Crisis in Lagos PDP
You know that there is crisis and I want to disabuse the mind of people about that. In every political organization, there is always competition and that is what is happening in the party. We give room for everyone’s opinion, though some express it louder than others.

There are perhaps some heated discussions where the noise tends to be high, but it is better than some political organizations where there is graveyard silence. In some of these parties, it is one single person that decides who is going to run for office from the local governments to the governorship level. PDP is not that kind of party. In a place where you have a lot of strong voices, there are bound to be issues and those issues are being ironed out.
The popular misconception in Lagos is that the state chapter of the PDP is not in a position to give the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria a good fight in the election and I totally disagree with it.

Other PDP aspirants
Every politician aspiring for an office believes that he is the best for the job, and I want to tell you that I am not any different. I do believe that I am the best for the job, firstly because I am young enough and the job in Lagos requires someone with agility, vigour and experience that can think on his feet and is easily adaptable.
In the PDP, I am setting an agenda and I intend to do that in Lagos as well. Leading Lagosians requires someone with the heart of a Lion, which I possess. If you look around, you will see that some people are profiting from the turmoil and it needs someone with a brave heart to handle them properly, and I believe I am that person.

My government will invest in social housing and development schemes, targeted at decongesting over-populated areas and addressing homelessness by creating new, low-cost but attractive and very well planned neighbourhoods. Homes and commercial spaces will be sold at affordable rates to key workers (medical, educational , and security staff), who will be assisted with sensible mortgages from a newly re-invigorated LBIC.

It's an embarassment to the state that no building projects r on underway. The strength of Lateef Jakande are the various 'Jakande Estates' all over the place and those in Iponri and Alaka not flower gardens and toll roads. Eko o ni baje, ju bayi lo!
