mujaya1: Cock and bull stories.. .you really learned well but a truthful soul and heart search and thinking will have suffice you. First, we don't literally take Jesus as God but His son, which was ordained as a propitiator and mediator btw human and God. Now answer this question truly.. while all the prophets u mentioned above all spoke the same thing and prophesied about Jesus coming, they were sent and ministered to the Israelites. Don't u think something is not adding up about Mohammed's claim? 1st, unlike the other prophets who are Israelites, he is not. He was an Arabian. so he claiming the same position like that of Abraham, Moses, and even equate himself with Jesus Christ is wrong. 2nd, His preaching was contrary to all those other prophets, God had perfected Man's salvation through Christ, and all the prophets spoke about it.. For Mohammed to come after Jesus Christ to disprove this fact shows a lot us wrong about who he claims to be. Think about this Bro. 3 Likes |

IbnIslam: What cause of the riot did u need again than blasphemy as already said in d article..... O, u want them to say he said so so and so. So that u can conclude they deserve to die for saying so, so and so abi? The truth that cannot be hidden is that empty barrels makes the loudest noise if Islam is really a religion of peace, then the most peaceful people should be Islamist today, but otherWise is the case worldwide as this case in Nigeria now. My Brother.. Islam is not what they taught you it is. .For humanity's sake, Pls wake up. 3 Likes |

First, those Alhaji's names & co mentioned there, have they all been arrested? Secondly, are they actually Fulanis from seven Nigerian states? Then shame on Buhari and His Libyan propaganda. Shame on the 19 Northern governors, who failed to tell the truth in the face of tribalism and religion.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 35 Likes 2 Shares |

A year ago, Muhammadu Buhari was Nigeria’s Rorschach test, upon whom Nigerians could project their disparate yearnings, following widespread disenchantment with the istration of Goodluck Jonathan. To govern, however, is to choose, and the choices the leader of this diverse entity called Nigeria, makes in a 12-month period, must reveal his personality. Like any new leader, especially one dogged by security threats and plummeting economic indices, President Buhari wishes he could have had it less tough. Mr. Buhari stated earlier this year that he wished he hadn’t been elected president at a time Nigeria is grappling with acute insecurity and low crude oil prices at the international markets. “But I say why me? Why is it that it is when they have spent all the money, when they made the country insecure that I returned?” Mr. Buhari lamented in a February 5 interview with Al-Jazeera. “Why didn’t I come when the treasury was full? Oil price was over $140 per barrel and when I came, it slipped down to $30. Why me?” Although Mr. Buhari still frequently blames his predecessor for running the country aground, bequeathing only a “virtually empty” treasury to him, he also committed ample embarrassing gaffes in of policy pronouncements and his deliberate indifference to the public mood. Since Mr. Buhari did not participate in any debate during the campaign–and the number of times he made stump speeches for himself could be counted on fingertips—it is hard to suggest that the president would, in hindsight, wish he had not pit an ardent campaign against his major challenger, Mr. Jonathan. Juxtaposing the current state of his presidency with the euphoria that greeted his emergence as winner of the historic 2015 elections, here are some low-hanging fruits that require no legislation that Mr. Buhari should have plucked to assert himself clearly as a leader who has both the moral and intellectual astuteness to effect the fundamental changes Nigerians have long craved. Disclosure of Assets Mr. Buhari is arguably the first-ever Nigerian leader that was elected into office on the perceived strength of his character as a conviction politician that could decisively deal with corruption —Nigeria’s original bane. To further convince Nigerians that he was, indeed, a frugal and incorruptible man, Mr. Buhari, in one of his speeches, said he would publicly declare his assets upon assumption of office. He also said he would prevail on his appointees to do the same. Shortly after his swearing-in, Nigerians began demanding copies of Mr. Buhari’s assets declaration documents as submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau. And the president began prevaricating about the matter immediately. At first, he released a statement claiming to have fulfilled his public assets declaration vow on June 6, 2015. That turned out to be misleading. Mr. Buhari only submitted his assets declaration form to the CCB as every government official is mandated to do. Under intense public pressure, the president released a statement enumerating his assets and those of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The statement was at best imprecise, with no clear details of listed assets. It failed to provide addresses of landed of properties, vehicle models, assets of spouse and children as required by law, and more. The presidency assured those details would be available to every Nigerian once they were verified by the Code of Conduct Bureau. The bureau has since done so, but Mr. Buhari still refuses to come entirely clean on how much he is worth, even though the Ahmed Joda transition committee advised that immediate public declaration of assets would be a “quick win” for Messrs. Buhari and Osinbajo. Questioned during a presidential media chat in 2015, a visibly itchy president questioned why he was singled out, from amongst the governors and other political leaders. Till date, a day away from the government’s first birthday, the president has failed to disclose his assets by sending the photocopies of what he submitted to CCB to the media, as former President Umar Yar’Adua did. Reap as you vote The ethnic and tribal sentiments that have for long been a feature of Nigeria’s elections were palpable in the outcome of 2015 general elections. The results showed that while the people of the north embraced Mr. Buhari in large numbers, those in the south-south and south east overwhelmingly voted to keep “their own” in office. Notwithstanding, a plurality of Nigerians had expected that the president would govern fairly and inclusively in order to heal whatever wound the election may have left behind. Alas, there’s little evidence to show that Mr. Buhari did this. Instead, he began by appointing mainly northerners to the consternation of even those who were amongst his staunchest allies. Mr. Buhari appointed dozens of aides in the first weeks of his istration without ceding any of the positions to the southeast. Asked how he intended to implement an inclusive development of the south-south, Mr. Buhari delved into the results of the elections, speaking of how the limited he received from the area would certainly reflect in his government’s policies and programmes to them. When pressed on how the south east complained of being marginalised, rather than explain his decisions to Nigerians, a visibly-irritated president asked in his maiden media chat on December 30, 2015: “What do the Igbos want?” Public mood and local media Upon assumption of office, President Buhari was met with incessant and devastating attacks by suspected Boko Haram . It took intense public criticisms for him to issue a single statement condemning the attacks. He was quiet most times. He showed similar reluctance with the herdsmen crisis across the country. The killings in Agatu and other southern communities were not condemned by the president for weeks. Most went without a single statement of condolence from his office. But the president was swift in condemning terrorist attacks in Paris, Brussels, Grand-Bassam and elsewhere. Similarly, Mr. Buhari hardly speaks to local media. From when he would name his ministers (in U.S.) to how he won’t let the central bank devalue (in Paris) the president has made most of the key pronouncements abroad. Talking to local media would have helped him better understand and gauge public opinion. Presidential Air Fleet From a Boeing 737 to choppers, there are 11 fleet it available to Mr. Buhari. His campaign assured those aircraft would be disposed of timeously if the president won the elections. Not one has gone yet. Why has Mr. Buhari not sold any of them to or even addressed Nigerians on why he couldn’t sell? Appointment of ministers Mr. Buhari failed to appoint his ministers early. From the moment he took over on May 29, 2015 till October ending when he finally released names of his prospective ministers, Mr. Buhari claimed he was taking his time to appoint the best. In hindsight, very few people believe the president’s appointment was worth the time he spent shopping for them. Some analysts have blamed the late appointments partly for the declining state of the economy. Given the prolonged fall in oil prices even before the elections, they argue, appointing a top economic team early enough could have helped stabilise the system and assure investors. The president missed that opportunity. With budget, it’s business as usual in Abuja. Given that one of Mr. Buhari’s rallying cries during the campaign was a promise to eliminate waste within his istration and streamline state agencies and parastatals, history has recorded that Mr. Buhari’s first budget was marred by irregularities–embarrassing and istrative irregularities. It failed to send the much-needed signal to unscrupulous civil servants that a new sheriff was indeed in town. It was a disaster. Being Nigeria’s most effective salesman. Of the 30 foreign trips Mr. Buhari made in his first year, hardly did he return from any without dropping a “bombshell”. While some were inadvertent gaffes, too many others were as deliberate as they were damaging. Nigeria’s president has travelled to distant lands to castigate his people as “criminals”, “corrupt” and “unruly” and even urged foreign investors to be wary. Although a plurality of Nigerian foreign policy analysts have condemned the president for his outbursts, some of his ers say he was being honest. That could seem an afterthought. If the president does not want to sell Nigeria–which is actually part of his job– he should, at the least, not de-market it. http://www.timesng.com/news/headlines/204229-seven-low-hanging-fruits-president-buhari-failed-pluck-first-year-office.html Myndd44 ![]() 2 Likes |

DabELLs: Really? If Quran really does teach everything about life, then I see the reason u go about building quranic schools everywhere, but why still learn western education, why don't u just stick to ur quranic studies and remain primitive to the 7th century system of human knowledge and advancement, that was even of peculiarity to the Arabians? Is that not confirming my earlier assertion that u guys don't really knows what u want? 2 Likes |

realone2012: Wow.. .good, I like ur points. And ur points are exactly the reason I said u guys don't really know what u want. U can go read up my edited post. Religion of peace indeed, that keeps on shunning out extremist in Somalia, Kenya, Iraq, Nigeria, Just to mention a few. Now answer me on this questions objectively? 1.if Islam is really a religion of peace, why do most terrorists organization pick their agenda from Islam... And why doesn't we see the most peaceful people or country in Islam today? 2. how is Islam d fastest growing religion in d world other than u guys following Mohammed's precept to marry many as u want and give birth to as many as u wish? Because he needed many followers at his back on judgement day. And after this children are born u indoctrinate them, Just as Ganduje is building sch for. I'm sure u r also a product of this. 3. Even in United States u say, don't u think u guys are dubious schemers and hypocrites, when the whole of Syria is in tumult and ur God ordained Saudi Arabia can't even take their fellow Muslims as refugees in their country? Now this refugees are been taken in by US and some other European countries for humanity's sake and u r here saying Islam is fastly growing in d US. I hope u see where u r getting it wrong..... Don't be deluded Bro. .. 1 Like |

I don't just understand. ISLAM makes its adherents lose sense. Now let's look at this objectively: what is to be taught to children in this school other than the Quran, hadith and other Islamic thesis which hav no bearing on economic activities or human advancement . The knowledge they'll acquire can't get them anywhere because ordinarily their English will be bad. I think this guys don't really know what they want, as they want to be Islamic but still can't deny themselves of the advancement and exuberances of the western world. they are not to be blame however, they thought the word of God received in the 7th century with peculiarity to the Arab world is still applicable in the 21st century and to the general world.... That's where they are mistaken... I really hope they wise up 19 Likes 1 Share |
