If there are one-tenth of rational Muslims like bellotti and logical, the world will surely be a better place. Sadly, thats not the reality.  I wish more Muslims were as accommodating as you guys are. The difference between the two religion is what majority of the adherents truly believe and practice.

Wether it's the misinterpretation of the Quaran or other social factors in Islamic based societies, we cannot deny the fact that their is a predominant view among Muslims that there is a spiritual justification to address any issue that go against the tenets of Islam with violence.
Unfortunately, not much is been done to dissuade this belief. Especially in modern times where people are ready to defend their fundamental human rights to the last blood. As long as one does not encroach on your space you have no right to fight, no matter what you believe in.

"Worry ye not about the imperfections of my followers, but the threat of Al-Queda and er of APC"
So says the Lord.

Are you sure you weren't just airing out the sub-conscious.
There a lot of bigots out there.

Ciara who? Please

Women can be very very disgusting. I know some will say that the man should know better, but in the end, blood is blood (sisters). I pray she gets run over by a molue, before her sister finds out.

It was just a nice Jesus movie. Maybe I've seen too many graphic stuff in my life that I'm not as sensitized as some.

In a period not quite long ago and maybe still in some African cultures, women used to walk around the village topless, without raising any eyebrow. Is indecent dressing/exposure dependent on time and place? I should think so.

I'm concerned that my people tend to place too much emphasis trying to eliminate their accent rather than speaking clearly. My point is that there is nothing really wrong speaking with an accent as long as you pronounce your words clearly. Don't try to sound cute and end up mumbling incomprehensible words. Accent is all about attitude. Listen to a Caribbean express himself with all the accent beneath the words. Still he never lacks confidence. Our problem is that we tend not to be comfortable when people detect the accent in our voice and they're curious to find out where you're from. In the long run, who you are and the respect you get from people has nothing to do with your accent. You might sound different and you're name a little difficult to pronounce at first, but believe me, in Europe and America where competition in life is steep, different is a good thing.

Hotstepper:

most cities are multi-cultural but Canada is the most diversed country in the world making toronto the most diversed city in the world, it is written, i live in toronto AKA TDOT so i know, i love canada, ma home and native land

Are you serious? Toronto is a mini-New York city, in of diversity and anything else.

The Bronx Bombers, baby!

That's a really antiquated view Idekeson. Do you think that applies to this day & age?

Yes, it's very sad but true. Most women rank comfort above love, women lib and all.

This is a very tricky situation. There are a couple of ways to go but I think the best option is to talk to her about your concerns, since both of you are close. But, be sure you are very tight with your friend and he trusts you, because this might blow up in your face and you lose a friend if she thinks you're interfering in her affairs.
You can't talk to your friend first, because you might be wrong in your conclusion of what you observed.

Most women date older men for life securities, money being primary. Women are often insecure or ill-equipped to attain a comfort level from the ground up.

Nigeria is really a twisted country. You must have connection or bribe your way into becoming a military officer. Coups were prevalent and you stand a good chance of landing a plum job in government, to line your pocket with public funds.
Hopefully, if our democracy is sustained, the military will revert to their natural role of defending the country and only those that have the calling will . We might even see ads with incentives to lure people into the military.

If you're ready for commitment, go ahead. If not, don't do it. It's too close for comfort.

I'm sick and tired of most Nigerians abroad criticizing everything Nigeria. From the funny accent to their superiority complex, it's just disgusting. Nigerians at home don't hate or envy, as some have suggested in this forum. We just want you to keep it real in the Nigerian context, and stop acting like jackasses just because you hopped on a plane and back.

A big shout out to STC old boys, "Bonum Eligere".

Great Lions and Lionesses!

Nwoke:

When you are successful, people are shocked to discover that you're not perfect.

TRUE

No amount of development from colonialism can equate the basic right of self determination.

If you can't figure out what she meant, how do you expect us to know from a computer screen. Amateur!

I'm saying that after beating the crap out of my Mother my siblings and myself, he left us - I have tried several times to bring him back into my life but he doesn't want anything to do with me - so therefore in my mind I have no father He doesn't deserve the title

This is the sad truth why we hear more about mum-affection  than dad. But real dads like mine that never abandon their family irrespective of marriage conditions still "rocks".

BLASPHEMY!!!
Idekson u need to seek absolution for your pursuit of strange sports. baseball ? basketball? these are all heretical activities. U need to take a pilgrimage to the holy land (Brazil)

Certainly. A trip to soccer paradise (Brazil) with the assurance of 7 soccer maidens attending to all my needs will surely help me atone for my transgressions.
Thanks Xkape for the counselling.

Help! I'm loosing interest in soccer faster than I can explain. Other sports like football, baseball and basketball are threatening the continued existence of soccer in my life. I am afraid soccer is losing the battle because I can't watch a 90 minutes game anymore except Nigeria is playing.

If you don't like the taste, just eat something else. If it makes you fat, you probably eat more than your body needs. Don't blame the cook.

If you feel the urge to dole out cash, wrap it up and give to whomever you want. Throw it up in air, or on people, and pay the penalty. There are numerous vice in our society that needs attention, but this moronic culture has to stop.

Is there a rule on the color a woman should wear on wedding day? Is it enforced by any one?

President Olusegun Obasanjo has sent a new Central Bank of Nigeria bill to the National Assembly, which seeks to curtail the abuse of the country's currency.

Spraying of, dancing or marching on the Naira or any note issued by the Bank during social occasions or otherwise howsoever shall constitute an abuse and defacing of the Naira or such note and shall be punishable under the new law.
It shall also be an offence to hawk, sell or otherwise trade in the naira note or any other note issued by the Bank.

Spraying under the new law includes adorning, decorating anything or any person or any part of any person or the person of another with naira notes or coins.

The bill also includes sprinkling, sticking of the naira notes or coins regardless of the amount, occasion or intent.

It also explained "marching" to include spreading, scattering or littering of any surface with any naira notes or coins and stepping thereon.

This is a welcome development. I hope it is ed into law ASAP.
