Ayee Idris: First of all, i think your assessment/research is deeply flawed.
1. Muslims are not lagging behind in any activity.And they do go to school. The qualified ones are in managerial positions and i don't think that religion has any business with who is in managerial position. its all about qualifications. The fact that there are only 2 muslims in your establishment doesn't mean that there are not more in another establishment if they are qualified.
2. As a muslim, i personally have a problem with limiting vacancies to a religious domination. Must it be a muslim mechanical engineer?? We are the same people that would complain about federal character later. Besides, the moslem associations are quite active, Nasfat and An sureedeen. They focus more on charity and helping the needy. You cant compare us to countries that have conquered basic social amenities issues that we are still dealing with.
3. I don't know what you mean by media of our own. There are thousands of Islamic programs on TV and many sites online dedicated to the Koran. The Koran preaches education for both men and women without discrimination. Here in the middle east where i am, women are holding high ranking positions contrary to popular beliefs. SO the perceived lack of education is a 'Nigerian' factor not an Islamic one. ok?
4. Perhaps you should watch more Friday television. You might have a rethink. Do you see the number of Islamic intellectuals, not the local alfas but well travelled , well researched men and WOMEN that are featured on these shows especially during the Ramadan period??
5. This is like saying only christains dominates Onitsha parks. IF there are lots of muslims residing in a particular area, chances are there are likely to have muslims youths working in the parks. Have u done a census to determine your assertion that they are more muslims in parks or is it because you see them gathering to pray? it shouldn't even matter if the parks have christians, Muslims,traditionalists, as long as it is honest work. That's all that matters to Allah.
In summary, nothing is wrong with muslims in Nigeria. There is no competition between us, christians, atheists, or traditionalists. Shey na Heaven we all wan go.

Well put!

torkaka: oyedepo's wife drives in a convoy of siren blarring cars while beggars line up the streets of nigeria begging for 10naira.
oyedepo owns gulf streams while scores of nigerian children languish in poorly funded orphanages.
oyedepo runs a multi million naira university while amajiri's roam the streets of nigeria.
whereas aliko dangote who has earned his money finds time to sympathise with victims of the recent floods by donating 400million, the good bishop exploits this same victims with properity and faith preachings!

THE QUESTION I'LL LIKE TO ASK THE FOLLOWERS AND SUPPORTERS OF OYEDEPO IS THIS; IF JESUS WAS AROUND, WOULD HE LIVE LIKE OYEDEPO OR WILL HE LIVE LIKE MOTHER THERESA?

I wonder!

Haven't you noticed that the bulk of the world economic problems are brought about by untamed capitalism? The mad rate of suicides, rape,murder,robbery,alcoholism, drug and insidious vices like those have plagued the west almost to extinction. But have you wonder that all sort of panacea have been amplified but the chasms gets deeper? The thin fabric of everything in those societies is threatening to snap?
Islam is, invariably, the only recourse for the world. Yes, it is the new world order. The headache for the imperialists is how to admit that the system it once scorned now possesses the solution they much needed.
As addendum, have you ever heard a religion or movement in the history of the world that was subjected to the kind of persecution Islam has been subjected to and yet it survived the killing?

Sweetheart, every society has its problems. There are murders, cases of molestation, suicides and all manner of crimes in all societies. Neither Christianity or Islam will ever be a new world order. The free thinkers will never ever allow that and trust me, the free thinkers are at the top and they control the world and belong to every religion on earth. The best you masses at the bottom can do is learn to tolerate each other or continue to be their pawns till another planet slams into earth and obliterates all of us. One thing that even pisses me off is that we Africans are busy arguing and cussing each other out over things that should not even concern us. The Arabs and Jews are deporting us from their lands, and you are here crying new world order. Start a new world order in Nigeria first, after all, charity begins at home. Nigerians are in dire need of change, no?

AND THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT PRODUCES 2.5 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL A DAY AMOUNTING TO AN AVERAGE OF 40 BILLION NAIRA DAILY. NOT TO TALK OF GAS AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES. ONE DAYS SALE OF OIL CAN REPAIR THAT ENTIRE ROAD AND CREATE BRIDGES AND CANALS FOR THE WATER, BUT COME TO THINK OF IT, IF THEY REPAIR IT, WHO WILL STEAL. WE NIGERIANS DONT DESERVE A COUNTRY AS RICH AS NIGERIA. WE DESERVE A COUNTRY SO RAVAGED AND POOR SO THAT EVERY MONKEY WILL FIND HIS TREE. THIS COUNTRY IS CURSED AND SHALL REMAIN CURSED TILL THY KINGDOM COME.

Why the curses? You are obviously not a Nigerian. Smh.

sanb: @op... How is my home girl today? Hope you are doing good...well for me, the topic determines if I’ll make a contribution or not...if it interest me then I’ll make a comment otherwise I just read and pass!!!

Sometimes the male folks here on NL are quite aggressive and harsh (no offense to my great NL guys) just stating the home truth...but again sometimes it’s the time factor, work as well as other commitments. NL is a wonderful place to gain knowledge and I have learnt a lot from some of the credible advice that people give...

Hey dear, I did great today, thanks

And I am glad you and so many others took time to respond to the biting comments by some men here.

For those men who dropped intelligent comments while assessing the situation.

Thanks all. *Virgo exits thread*

noblezone:

Bro, we are already involved!

Once anything happens between Iran and either US or Israel or both, our own Jihardists will go to streets burning churches, killing all "infidels". It is as simple as that.

In their world, Iran as Islamic Republic represents the interests of Islam all over the world.
Touch a Moslem, you have touched Iran and touch Iran, you have touched the Islamic World.

Also, America represents the interests of Christians all over the world.
If you want to "hurt" America, kill a Christian and if you want to "hurt" a Christian, burn an American flag.

That is the way they see it.

Sad but true. Africa will be involved one way or the other. Ignorance is just a terrible debilitating disease. I just wonder why Africans cannot see beyond their own noses.

Yay! The females are talking. Now, one thing I have gathered from this thread is that most Nairaland males are hopeless chauvinists. While women gave level headed responses as to why they rather observe threads than engage in debates, what most men have done is sprout lot of sexist crap. And as for you >>>>>

Decryptor: Africa returned to traditional gods? Another proof that shymexx is absolutly correct about ur non-intelligence SMH

I have no time for neanderthals suffering from excessive testosterone. I said "traditional gods", big hoopla. You know I meant traditional religion and gods followed by Africans before the advent of Christianity and Islam. As for your calling my intelligence or that of other females here to question, chile please. This is a faceless forum. You know nothing about most of the people here. Some of US are lawyers, political activists with articles published in newspapers and websites, authors of books, feminists e.t.c

You catch the drift?

Most men here just come to shout each other down and engage in abusive behaviour and language during debates without making any meaningful point, and you think you are smarter than women who have no time to be aggressive. Nairaland is just a reflection of our society. Loud men who make noise without making sense. Smart women who rather do something useful with their time than ranting about things they cannot change at the moment. Your e-macho posturing can NEVER intimidate some of us into silence because it is all nothing but verbal masturbation that leaves little or no pleasure in its wake.

In all, thank you for commenting.

As for the Nairaland females who have shown up here to disabuse the minds of the menfolk that they are intellectually superior in any way, much love to you. Maybe Nigeria really needs a woman as president. From what I have seen here, some Nigerian men are full of gra gra and no substance, and in my opinion, this is the root cause of Nigeria's problems today. Anyway, me got to go. Love, love, love ya all! <<<< That was for the women.

Henry Divine: All the women in this forum, it's time to register your presence and show that you've really got so much to offer. I think that should be your best response to this issue.

You are right about that. We will.

berem: "setting the microphone for seun to moderate the thread.testing testing 123......."

Hehe. Correct. I trust you o jare.
