YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D GGNK!! u gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriitttttttttttt! even the side bits!  but not everything, but pretty much an A... cos somethings may not have been so clear..

Wasnt Shark Tales directed by Stephen Spielberg? I thought he was the director... well maybe I am wrong.

The other famous co star of Chicago was Richard Gere. Kudos for Bridget Jone's Diary; it actually escaped my mind. Was she nominated for an oscar for her role there? I didnt know the film made it to the Oscars' list.

Famous duo yes correct De Niro and Scorcese. Only what I wanted was that one was a famous actor and the other a famous director.

Famous film score adaptation... from film Jaws directed by Spielberg...

Are u serious you don't know the 7 point agenda?

 Yes seriously speaking I dont know them. I dont think I have listened to an 'yar adua speech for above 30 secs since he came to office. I still dont agree with his mandate and I see him as an invalid illegal president, just like that moi kibaki in kenya tssuii! >:(

The avatar is more than a hurricane + a criminal... there is a profound message which even I didnt know about  till I collaged the hurricane and the man together and u GGNK accidentally stumbled upon a part of it.  ;D ;D.

Actually no. U are not close. The message is written next to the avatar... maybe I misled u.. not intended..
"Life is but the blink of an eye. so spend it in grateful submission," is a hadeeth written as a poster that I possessed many years ago.
The hurricane is an eye as u pointed out. Its not exactly a blink, but its close enough if u consider time in a relative dimension, as that hadeeth does. So the hurricane is representing an eye as well as a destructive power that can wipe out life within seconds of our actual time dimension, therefore u need to spend that life in a useful way and also in submission to Allah.
The eyes of the guy also represent the blink of the eye which in this case is a blink in our time dimension. However, the guy represents an example of a life wasted. The guy has been given a will and a choice to be good or not good and he chose not to spend his life usefully gratefully and certainly not in submission to the Maker.
errrr... am i making sense?? someone help out pls ::)
Also,


I really hadnt thought about the eye of the hurricane when I put the two together, but that's pretty smart of you GGNK to spot it.

Quote from: gogannaka on January 03, 2008, 11:39:40 PMP.S wai ku da gaske kuna ganin Buhari ne ya ci zabe kokuwa dai argument din ku shine Iwu ya fadi sakamakon zabe a inda ba'ayi zabe ba.

Actually we dont know that, cos the votes were not fully counted. It was exactly as occurred with Moi kibaki. The electoral commissioner in Kenya was pressurized to declare kibaki the winner. That was what the commissioner alleged. In the case of Nigeria, Morris Iwu was handsomely bribed by OBJ to do the same deed.
So unless there is another vote tally, one can not say that PDP didnt win the election or that ANPP lost out on the election. Its just the atmosphere of conspiracy that makes everyone suspicious and also the fact that the incumbent government has an excellent track record for election malpractices.

Gaskiya Auntyn Muhsin you have personal grudges for His
Excellency, in ba hakaba, we voted for him during the election
and now you are comparing us with Moi Kibabi - haba dai.

Yar'adua was voted in almost all the States of the Federation
there by beating the Old General with over 18,000,000 votes!
how will the General contest this in court?

Kai jama'a a ji tsoron Allah fa!

Back to the game;

Following that mention of Kenyan president Moi Kibaki; do you think he really is the winner of their disputed election or its Reyla Odinga? (Am afraid if thats how the name is written). And to you think Odinga's decision of ignoring the president and international voices' call for a unity government is justifiable?

I doubt if moi kibaki won...
@ Husnaa:- in Kibaki's case Odinga was leading the count till the very last minute when the figures were swapped....Buhari kuwa dama tun tuni Yar'adua yayi mishi nisa..Babu lokacin da akace Buhari yana gaba a kidayar.

Muhsin Odinga has called off the opposition rally he earlier called.I think he might have to succumb to the Unity Govt.


GAME:
Do you know any country outside of Africa that is marred by Deadly election violence after each election?

Errr America (USA) After each election, the incumbent president  makes war on some country... lets look at recent times...

Who was president during the Korean war in the 50s?
Kennedy.. Bay of Pigs Fiasco.. with Cuba
Johnson and Nixon... vietnam war;
Gerald Ford... not sure
Carter... Iran the failed attempt to rescue hostages from Iranian embassy that cost him the second term.
Reagan... Iran and Libya
Bush the first Afghanistan and Iraq
Clinton.. Iraq
Bush the second.. Iraq Afghanistan and any country that happens to catch his fancy..e.g iran


erm.. these are deadly election violences because if the election hadnt taken place there wouldnt have been the presidents to attack these countries ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't think that answered Gogannaka's question, did it? No. He said which country is marred (by its citizens and in its own land), for instance Kenya, Uganda, Congo, and other African countries, but outside African teritory like in Europe, Asia, Middle East, etc. But you said America and instead of saying its destroyed following holding so-so election you said it makes war upon other country after so-so election.

To your question, I think Finland did something akin to whats happening in Kenya but its NOT as worst as that of Kenya. But they a bit violently did protest.

Game;
Why prejudice exist in almost all nooks and crannies of African teritories? You'll hear of such related violences in Sudan, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, and now Kenya. Why? Don't other countries also have a number different tribes in their countries? Why here?

Prejudice exists everywhere! Try going out of Nigeria to some western country or middle eastern country or some oriental country and see if u dont meet up with prejudice. In places where u are a foreigner, fear of what one doesnt  know or something alien to one's culture and everyday encounters makes one prejudiced. On the other hand tribalism is also not unique to Africans. Look what happened to between Serbs,Croats and Bosnians. The English didnt like the Irish at one time. The scots want to have autonomy from the English;  Aborigines all over the world are being discriminated upon... the native american indians, the australian aborigines and the maoris of new zealand are a few example.. So its really not confined to africa. Ours is more noticeable because it comes on the heels of so many other ills like poverty and illiteracy.

There is something thats been surprising me, really surprising me concerning sour relationship between US govt (Bush) and that of Cuba (Castro); how and why despite all that long lasted aversion and hatred between the two countries presidents that Cuba allowed US to have a base, a military parastatal namely Guantanamoe? Is that not a very amazing spot? Please help me out my good people!

I know actually but I can guess is because they are both non-muslims country and those detaied there are muslims.  As says Qur'an; "Ba'aduhum auliyaa'u ba'ad" They have the same voice. But God know!

I'll not ask another question because this one isn't fully answered. After Husnaa or Gogannaka or others tried. ???

lol My good man! thanks for the vote of confidence!  ;D ;D ;D ;D  I dont know the answer myself, but it is likely that the region of cuba where guantanamo bay exists was previously annexed by the americans so that it is under their control up to now? maybe it was made over to the ameircans through an agreement between Cuba and America before Castro came into power? Surely one might find out by searching the internet. Anyway that was the most seriously interesting post that Muhsin has put up in a very long time. I usually find them lacklustre at best.

Husnaa, that'll likely be the reason but I too really wonder. Once I heard in the news that american government has had tried assasinating Castro but he escaped. So damne afterwards zai basu base in his own country's soil? Very contradictory!

Game; but again about America:

Why america care so much about Isra'el affair? Or its only because of the reason I said; they are all non-muslims? Or there is something again?

 America cares about israel's Affairs because it fully knows that whoever owns the the Aqsa mosque and environs will likely rule the world and also the there is the issue of grinding islam to grassroot ground. (ALLAH ya fisu)


Q: why then do you think America got interest whereever there pre dominant muslims?

 Permit me to help you a little. Guantanamo bay is located at the south eastern
Cuba and has been used by the US navy for more than a century. It is also the
oldest overseas US navy base and the only one in a country which the US does not have
diplomatic relations. The US controls the bay under a lease set up in wake of the
spanish-american war of 1889. The lease was established in 1903 in an agreement
between the two countries. The current cuban government comsiders the US presence
there as illegal.

There are also some US military bases that are much bigger and better equipped than guantanamo
bay. The one in Turkey known as Incirlik base is bigger and occupies a very large land area.
It has various types of weapons due to its proximity to the mideast that is of great military
concern to the US.

The other base is the one in Japan known as Okinawa base. It is also big, but not as big
as Incirlik in Turkey. It was established so that the US can keep Japan, Vietnam and the rest on
constant and quick checks in case of trouble.

America cares about Israeli affairs because Jews are the wealthiest ppl in America (and the whole world) and they effectively control the US government behind closed doors. For both republicans and Democrats, Jewish cash is a hefty percentage  of the money that flows into their campaign coffers. So naturally Israeli interests are paramount on their agenda.

I guess guantanamo bay was a perfect choice then for keeping the prisoners because u cant keep them in Turkey, its too close to the middleast and Islam and  Muslims will not countenance such a thing. In fact there'd be more suicide bombings and break iins to rescue the prisoners. The americans wouldnt be able to torture them like they do (although there was abu ghraib, but in the end it had to stop, but nothing's stopped so far on Guantanamo).

They cant keep them in japan because it will be too much of a reminder of its wicked past for japan and also  it's stand as a pacifist country may not make it possible for the americans to keep the prisoners there. Cuba is very close to america, so america za ta iya cin karen ta ba babbaka as it has been doiing to the prisoners

Wants get access to them and then fight them either directly or indirectly, i.e either you get aware of it or you are bluff that they are helping you. For instance Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey (hmm Turkey are already :o), now Nigeria and other countries. But they never have good mission upon muslims and muslims countries, am teeling you.


Kai my good people! What a very impressive thread you have turn this into! Thanks to GFella, Aunty Husnaa (more especially for her recomendation), mal. Waduz, Lawwali and everyone. I feel like I pay for such very nice bits of imformation. As I solely believe with one saying of one liberary professor; to live effectively is to live with adequate information.

One question pops another. Now to Middle East unending conflict;

I had long ago posted a thread about Hamas and Fatah faction islamic groups. There my mood was very sad and disappointed but I now, or almost since condemned and denounced their thoughtlessness and decided let them fend for themselves and do their own affair because how comes as they are always saying La'ilahaillallah be fighting one another, killing themselves and other innocent civilians? You see...this is palpably irrational and senseless.

And as Aunty Husnaa and Lawwali said about their relation with America, I don't think and never imagine there would be a day that US will disapprove of single action commited by Israel.

Any way, how do you think this conflict could be resolved? Because am very sure what America and her allies are calling "road-map to middle east" and current Bush's visit won't be fair to Palastinians. They must favour Israel.

This I heard would last till last day of this world. No resolution.


Game:

Who among Fatah and Hamas are supposed to be blamed most concerning their dispute?

Kai Goodfella! Who told you? Though am supposed to agree since I didn't know and I asked; you gave me answer.

And to your question; I think Fatah should be blamed. Thats why they are even backed by US, Israe' and European countries. There are many reason behind that but take it as that.

Q;

Q.

How did you learn and master Englsih language? And any further advice on how one could do so.

Read read and read.
Newspapers,novels etc.

Do u think Obama will be left to Lead the US?

No! He has better chances of winnign votes than senator Clinton, but even when he does, he wont make it to presidency. Afteral jnr  didnt win his elections, do u thnk they'll let a black win?


Here is a joke by an Arab-American standup comedian. He says "Hate crimes against arabs and muslims has raisen by 1000% after 9/11, terrible really. But we are still $th place on the hate crime list, behind Blacks, gays and Jews....I mean, what do we have to do?"
emphasis mine

Question, do u really think they'll let a black man be president?

Safety and peace be with u

Feel like they'll. For example, there is a black as senator, as secretary of State, which is a big govt position in US and lots other offices of great significance. And Obama has auspicious start since he so far won Iowa and is expected to win more as they momerandum poll shows.

Q:

What party do you prepare to win US election; Republican or Democrat? And why?

Republicans would win the elections.








Do you think a lady will be US President?

As you said Republican would likely win, then the answer to your question is female won't be US president because she's Democrat's candidate.

Q:

Doesn't US's govt have ministers? I always only hear secretary of state, defense, foreign affairs, etc but have never heard minister of anything. What system of govt is this?

The American System.


Who do you prefer as a super power, China or the US?

To answer the question of what system of govt. the U.S. is using.

In the United States, federalism is the system of government where by power is divided between a central government and the government of each state. The U.S. govt. like Muhsin said, they have Secretaries which the equivalent of Ministers in Nig.

I believe China will soon be the world super power, n i think that will be a gud change for everybody.


Q:

Have u ever been to china?

Nope. And I don't wanna really go there unless if its quite official. Why? In China, there still exist racism very apparently, I many a times hear in the news. So no human would want to be a victim of this very dreadful action.

Q:

Have you ever been a victim of racist?

Yes.Several times.

Q: Apart from Nigeria where would you most want to live in West Africa?

Gambia, small, peaceful and tropical.

Question, to be or not to be?

That is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end

Yes i studies Hamlet in school ok my question

Assalamu alaikum,
Napoleon & Hitler actions were not guided by the Shari'ah.

I think both transgressed into Russia, which repelled the attacks and pursued the war mongers back to their territories and defeated them. The decision they took was extending their wars to Russian soil.....





Was Sayyadi Ali courageous to the extent the history books are extolling him?

Waduz that is a difficult question you asked.
Husnaa should come and expantiate on the mistakes by Hitler and Napoleon.

In the meantime i won't ask any question now.

Gogannaka,

Well...I can say the question is quite difficult but could be answered. So let me try it;
Sayyidi Aliyu bn Abi 'Dalib was such courageous and bundles of history books said and are still saying lots about him. But, I suspect, you might have noticed that so obvious Waduz only when you are dealing with Shi'ite books. They always, am telling you, write about him in the way thats too...worst. The praise is too much and in the process they take him as says Bahaushe inda Allah bai kai shi ba. E.g they say, whenever his name is mentioned "Salawatullahi alaihi". Yes its right to say such to the family members of the noble prophet yet ulamas say not always because in the so doing people go beyong the ettiquete, just like yan shi'ah.

Allah ya sa mu dace, amin.

Another Q:

Muhsin it was Sayyadina Abubakar Siddiq R.A

About The mistake made by napoleon and hitler. Waduz was correct. The only things he missed was that the bad judgement wasnt in deciding to attack russia itself, but in simultaneously fighting a war on two fronts; the eastern front and the western front so that the armies spread themselves too thinly.  Also the terrible russian winter dessimated both hitler's and napoleons armies in their times. That was something both leaders hadnt reckoned with.

Correct Hajiya Husnaa!


Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) daughter was married to a kafir (unbeliever) before Hijra (migration) to Madina in Makkah. She did Hijrah to Madina, thats to say; she followed her father, while he (her husband) refused to. After some times, he was captured as a slave in a war but she pledged for her father to leave him live with her as he's in exile. And he later also converted to Islam and died in Islam.

Q:
What are the names of that daughter and her husband?


NB: I too don't know this answer but I could remember the tarikh. So...

Can't you answer my question my good people? Is it difficult?

Seems from all indication and/or angles that my above question is really difficult and thus couldn't be answered by any body, not even my auntie nor by my big bros; gogannaka and waduz who have been aswering almost 'unanswered' questions before. LOL ;D

Now a brand new question but mind, simple one, I believe. Here it goes...

Who's the oldest but still active member at this forum?

Muhsin answer the question first before asking another one.

Which question should I answer first Gogannaka? I earlier on stressed it that I don't know the question's answer, so I asked.

Toh since the issue has not been resolved i'll ask a totally new question:

Do you believe in love at first sight?

My head would say:

Excellent arrangement, BKZ!

Do you prepare to have a wife from your own tribe (only) or other also (Yoruba, Igbo etc) and why?

LOL BKGZ so who will win? The heart or the head?

Muhsin to answer your question,
I'd love one from my tribe(a nan ake tsiyar ai,an ce babu wani abu hausa fulani)
That does not however,mean i cannot marry from any other tribe. Once the love and trust is there....who knows  ;D


Next question:Polygamy or monogamy (from the husbands point of view) which one gives more contentment.

One person cannot ans this question. why? because i believe being mono or poly depends on the individual.

If you want my ans I will say Monogamy. But I dont know what can happen in the future

If u guys dont mind I'll like to arrange the below in order of my prioty

Next question: Is it justifiable to judge one from his/her body language

No, its not. Body language obviously tends to be very vague at times.

Same question;

In my own opinion one can be judged from his/her body language
The police and psychologists use this in detecting liars or predicting behaviour.

I believe it is justifiable....to some extent.

Next question:
Would you give your daughter out to a 50 yr old that has never been married?

C'mon GGNK! What kind of question is that? LOL ;D ;D ;D

I will not, simply. Why...He could not and thus will not satisfy her, sexually.

That reminds me of one lecture I listened recently. The Sheikh talked quite tall on this very issue. He said the husband cannot, even in addition with other 'power-increase'  medications give the wife (girl) full conjugal satisfaction. He further traced/ based his assertion with one saying of...(I doubt the scholars name) that an old man like this should not marry a girl of tender age. He, the husband lacks 'charge' while hers is 'full charge'. You see...babu gami. LOL ;D :D

Muhsin i thought you'd ponder on something better than sex as a reason for not giving out your daughter.
If i were you the first thing i'd ask is how come he spent 50 yrs of his life without a wife?

character should come after family. the first three are the most enduring qualities. the other two are skin deep and fade or none existent

Husnaa which three are you referring to?

Lol I did the mental list in my mind and forgot to write it down.
the three i meant were religion character and family in that order

In my own opinion,sexual attraction plays a very vital role in one's decision.
Gaskiya many marriages have spoilt when the husband no longer finds the
woman attractive and i think its one of the major reasons why maza ke kara
aure....ina masu auren ne?

Ok next question:
Who is your favourite kanoonliner?

Ok next question:
Who is your favourite kanoonliner?

U are right about when u said sexual attraction plays a vital role. but in that case it is covered by the word beauty. Because I am sure at least in our conservative society, its not lust that dictates a person's initial reaction to a girl (or a girl's reaction to a man) especially if  his intentions are honorable towards her. Its her beauty that attracts him to her, so in that case we can leave sexual attraction out, or we can subsume it under beauty.
Now about sexual attraction, it can be on two levels, it can be physical and it can be mental or intellectual. Both are good things by the way, we shouldnt diss either or prefer one above the other. I said that it fades and its true it does fade, where it is not kept alive by both parties involved. In our society we especially dont tend to try and remain attractive to our spouses so that they find us still attractive. We should. That is why islam advocates women to try and look attractive in their homes and not flaunt their beauty out of the house. It has many advantages. A woman when she is dressed up in a hijab to go out may look the most unattractive person in the world, and even so to her husband, but what that just does I think is give him a feeling of ( I cant put it in words.. possessiveness? a certain secret awareness? that HE knows what she really looks like and he only knows so it gives him a feeling of I dont know... I am not a man, I am just aware that there is such a feeling...) but the long and the short of it is that it serves to bind the man to her... in a bizzarre way, he finds her more sexually attractive that way.. (being that she is his wife ofcourse.. it cant happen to a strange man). Secondly, what many women maybe are unaware of is that dressing up in a hijab is really a way of preserving our physical beauty from the damages of the sun's rays and stuff like that, especially for us in the north, where the sun can dry one's skin to parchment leather and make a woman really unattractive. That facial nikab, is probably the best thing to happen to a woman since sliced bread (hahahaha), because it keeps her face younger looking by obstructing the more damaging effects of the sun. OH by the way, women wear white over yr faces not black nikabs because  white is a good reflector and therefore bounces off those harmful rays without absorbing any like a black nikab would do. The reason why it is not so important for the rest of the body to wear the white although it will be more comfortable since it is cooler is because, under the hijab one is wearing extra clothing which acts as protection, whereas on the face it is probably only the nikab. So for my sisters reading this, keep yrselves fresh and young, both physically, mentally and intellectually, that way ur spouses wont go out hunting. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

In a way just like beauty is only skin deep, then the sexual attraction also needs more than beauty to keep it sustained, and that is where to me intellectual discourse and the ability to communicate on the same wavelength by partners come in. When u communicate on the same wavelength and both spouses are good to each other, humor each other, are sensitive to each others' whims likes and dislikes and try not to overstep certain boundaries, then they can remain attracted to each other in perpetuity.. (perhaps). Its when we take each other for granted through familiarity, that is when everything becomes   jaded.

favorite Konliner? I think that is a potentially explosive question, so guys and guyesses forgive me if I opt out and say I am my own favorite, that way, I dont send any positive and negative  waves (lol I am conceited ko? ;D ;D ;D ;D)

LOL, no burst my head o!

Next Question:
Do you think the world will become a better place or it'll continue getting worse till the final day?

Oh it will definitely get better, up to a certain point. Remember that when the Mahdi finally arrives and Isa, (AS) returns and gets rid of the dajjal, and the Yajujj and Majujj have wreaked their havoc and been eliminated by the Grace of Allah, there will be a period of peace and prosperity in the world which will last for dont know how long. Isa AS will get married (cant remember if he will have kids), but he will finally die when his term is fulfilled. The Mahdi will stay for 40 yrs ( I think, cant remember, maybe less) or so and also die after that. There will be no hunger no malnutrition, no wars no conflicts even between ppl and animals of the wild. The only religion then will be Islam. After that period of course the world will slowly revert back to polytheism, atheism etc. Then will come the day when the sun will rise from the west and the doors of forgiveness will be forever closed. Then the  beast will come and brand every one as either a mu'min or kafir, ( the next day after the rising of the sun from the west or soon after). When that happens then he who is a mumin will remain a mumin for the rest of his life and he who is a kafir will remain a kafir for the rest of his life. Towards the very end of the world, a gentle breeze will come and blow over everyone. Any one who has any iman will immediately depart from this world, and it doesnt matter if one lives in the deepest part of a subterranean cave, that breeze will reach to him and if he is masha Allah a mumin, will immediately die. Those left will be the dregs of the earth. In that time, there will  be NO one who will utter the words La ila ha illAllah. As a result the days of the world will be numbered. This is becos it has been said that every time any one uttered the Kalimatusshahadah La ila ha illAllah, the day of Qiyamah is set backwards by 40 yrs. So the day there is no body to utter them, that's it for the world.   Then one day Israfilu will be commanded to blow the horn and the sound  will start out in as a low sound and gradually gradually build up into an unbearable crescendo until not a single being can stand the sound and it will continue and ppl will be wondering what is happening...
I will stop here cos  I have forgotten exactly how the Qiyamah will proceed from here, I will go and refresh my mind on this fascinating subject... 

Like you know what i had in mind when i asked the question.
The Yajuj and ma'juj story is very frightening. It is said that they roam around in tens of thousands and wherever they go they exhaust all the resources around,water food etc.

Then they will die and their carcasses will become a burden to the world till Allah sends some worms that will eat the carcasses,this signals the coming of either Isa or Mahdi (i'm not sure) and then peace will finally reign.

I think Dajjal is even more frightening as he will be able to rise the dead and perform many miracles.Very few people will be saved from his evil tricks. Even the Prophet Muhammad SAW used to ask Allah to protect him from the evil of the dajjal.He also said that as long as Suratul Kahf is recited in the world the dajjal will not come. When the prophet was narrating the story of the dajjal, some sahabas actually went to check the backyard because it felt as if he was already around;the way the prophet was telling the story and from time to time they would form groups and be reciting suratul Kahf.

Waiting for the completion of the story Husnaa.

Next question:
Someone should ask.

Do you think that the non-passage of the Freedom of
Information Bill by the House Of Representatives is an
act of cowardice?

Yeah, DB.

Whats the importance of the whole that Freedom of Information Bill?

I guess so people can find how that senetor or govenor diverted funds so mas to be  able to afford that expensive car we all so envy!
Why do cartoon characters always have 4 fingers? ???

Cos we aren't perfect.

Do you think someday snow will fall in Nigeria?....Yes due to global warming or El-Nino?

Lol GGNK ;D. Whats the point? You wont be around to see it even if it does happen. Besides it probably wont ever. Not due to El Nino or  even La Nina. (I dont know much about either frankly speaking, though I had to write a little argument on climatic modification and therefore had to read up about them they affect sea surface temperature and circulation of the ocean currents or some such)....
Well you know that there is a phenomenon called global cooling dont you? Its occurring simultaneously with global warming. I read about it a while back after watching a program on it on TV.. very interesting stuff. I cant remember the whys and the whats of it at all, cos its not as touted or as apparent as global warming it, but it is happening and I believe the green house effect overbalances any cooling effect. Now if we were to have the global cooling outweighing global warming, then there maybe snow in Nigeria at one time and even in yr life time. However it is not like that. So the only other way we can have snow is if we have another ice age perhaps. The Sahara desert was once green and lush (during the Holocene or one of those geological periods).

Is it only me? I always have problem spelling Husnaa's name (Is it double 's' or 'a')

LOL...IBB. Its only you, I think. But its double 'aa', i.e Husnaa.

Why nowadays people rarely do believe others? E.g in this forum?

Lol what do you mean Muhsin? Expatiate pls.

Sorry, Husnaa and the rest. But I meant to write it this way; Why do ppl nowadays rarely TRUST others? E.g on discussion boards like KanoOnline and other places?

Answering your question is quite difficult Muhsin.
Give some example,especially on Kanoonline.

i dont think anyone here trust anybody in this forum,
except if your definition of trust is contrary to what
i understand as trust.

the forum is a place where independent judgement
of things is displayed, if supporting another persons
argument meant TRUST to you, then, its only a
coincidence of understanding but not based on trust.
Anyone can differ with his fellow forumite on a
particular issue.

never trust anyone in the forum!!! (BE WARNED).

WHO CAN WE NOT TRUST IN PARTICULAR?

Muhsin  ka tsokanowa kanka tsuliyar dodo. Maza explain yrself about trust. So it means that duk muamalar ka da mutane a nan board din is based on mistrust? That means that as far as u are concerned, there will be no relationship external to yr PC with anyone who writes on this board cos u just cant trust them.
More to the point, what has anyone done to deserve this monumental lack of confidence from you?

Ni as far as I am concerned, I take everyone at face value. How they appear to me is how I take them, unless ofcourse with familiarity they change eventually, then I form a new opinion, but nevertheless, I always try to keep ppl's good points in mind so that I dont get too judgemental.

Aa let me help my brother here. I think u got him wrong. He is asking why people dont trust others. See quote below

Quote from: Muhsin on July 02, 2008, 02:51:53 PM
Why do ppl nowadays rarely TRUST others? E.g on discussion boards like KanoOnline and other places?

Thanks IBB and all for your comments. Don't have much time to respond to your questions.

As it is by nature, I so easily trust people, different  and many people who I do have contact with on many life basis, e.g buying and selling, schooling, discussing on (internet) boards, etc. That, at time memorable and un-forgetful, costs me profit and lost...yeah profit and lost mana.

For instance, on the side of the profit, one boy, whom I implicitly trust, some few months ago stole a pricey Samsung Cellphone of my friend, plugged to charge a tireda ta. That I'll never forget. On the other side sai dai nace Alhamdulillah. One of the example I always site is with K-Online Forum. I, though quite naively, expose maself, my real identity so apparently with a thought that am around people 'near home' and thus no harm, deception, etc could come from any. And none has yet come. I hope it never will, inshAllah.

Relatively speaking, at a risk of sounding self-congralatory; I'm one of the trusted onliners for...Alhamdulillah bi ni'imatika.

These (my aforesaid words) present, I presume, a tremendous challenge to any member who thinks OTHERWISE. There are beautiful ones.  Jettison the idea/thought that they (beautiful) are not yet born!

My words are...well quite scanty, I fear. I perfectly know to elaborate the full meaning of my preceded saying, as enquire Aunty, my words should be more than these. But kun san dalibi; no enough time sannan uwa uban-- yaren nasaran; its just spoonful.

Nagode.

Why even China, concerning the ability of its recent economic boost to make sensational headlines around the world, is not yet on the list?

Muhsin she compared you with Bill Gates.
FYI we are now in a free market economy.You can raise more money by
floating your business to the public so that investors such as zizo and others
can invest in your business and you share the profit.
Who knows maybe we can have the Kanoonline G8?

Back to your question:
China cannot be in the G8 because the G8 countries do not see the boost in the
Chinese economy worthy of earning a place in the G8. Moreso,China isn't democratic.

Question.
Would you pray for Nigeria to be among the world leading economies by 2020?

Yeah, GGNK. That'll be good to our country and its ppl, I reckon.

Q:
Who wants to ask a question

What is the speed of light?

1,079,252,848.8 km/h
or
299,792.458 km/s

Ref:

Wikipedia?


Gogannaka, why are you so interested in knowing
the speed of light?

I was wondering how it can be measured.

How was it measured?

How is the speed of light measured?

The speed of light in vacuum c is not measured.  It has an exact fixed value when given in standard units.  Since 1983 the metre has been defined by international agreement as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.  This makes the speed of light exactly 299,792.458 km/s.  Since the inch is defined as 2.54 centimetres, the speed of light also has an exact value in non-metric units.  This definition only makes sense because the speed of light in vacuum is constant; a fact which is subject to experimental verification (see relativity FAQ article Is the speed of light constant?).  Experiments are still needed to measure the speed of light in media such as air and water.

Before the seventeenth century it was generally thought that light is transmitted instantaneously.  This was supported by the observation that there is no noticeable lag in the position of the Earth's shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse as would be expected if c was finite.  Nowadays, we know that light is just too fast for the lag to be noticeable.  Galileo doubted that light speed is infinite, and he described an experiment to measure its speed by covering and uncovering lanterns observed at a distance of a few miles.  We don't know if he really attempted the experiment, but again c is too high for such a method to work.

The first successful measurement of c was made by Olaus Roemer in 1676.  He noticed that the time between the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter was less as the distance away from Earth is decreasing than when it is increasing.  He correctly surmised that this is due to the varying length of time it takes for light to travel from Jupiter to Earth as the distance changes.  He obtained a value equivalent to 214,000 km/s which was very approximate because planetary distances were not accurately known at that time.

In 1728 James Bradley made another estimate by observing stellar aberration, being the apparent displacement of stars due to the motion of the Earth around the Sun.  He observed a star in Draco and found that its apparent position changed during the year.  All stellar positions are affected equally in this way.  This distinguishes the effect from parallax which affects nearby stars more noticeably.  A useful analogy to help understand aberration is to imagine the effect of motion on the angle at which rain falls.  If you stand still in the rain when there is no wind it comes down vertically on your head.  If you run through the rain it appears to come at you from an angle and hit you on the front.  Bradley measured this angle for starlight.  Knowing the speed of the Earth around the Sun he found a value for the speed of light of 301,000 km/s.

The first measurement of c on Earth was by Armand Fizeau in 1849.  He used a beam of light reflected from a mirror 8 km away.  The beam passed through the gaps between teeth of a rapidly rotating wheel.  The speed of the wheel was increased until the returning light passed through the next gap and could be seen.  Then c was calculated to be 315,000 km/s.  Leon Foucault improved on this a year later by using rotating mirrors and got the much more accurate answer of 298,000 km/s.  His technique was good enough to confirm that light travels slower in water than in air.

After Maxwell published his theory of electromagnetism it became possible to calculate the speed of light indirectly from the magnetic permeability and electric permitivity of free space.  This was first done by Weber and Kohlrausch in 1857.  In 1907 Rosa and Dorsey obtained 299,788 km/s in this way.  It was the most accurate value at that time.

Many other methods were employed to improve accuracy further.  It soon became necessary to correct for the refractive index of air.  In 1958 Froome had the value of 299,792.5 km/s using a microwave interferometer and a Kerr cell shutter.  After 1970 the development of lasers with very high spectral stability and accurate caesium clocks made even better measurements possible.  Up until then the changing definition of the metre had always kept ahead of the accuracy in measurements of the speed of light.  Then the point was reached where the speed of light was known to within an error of plus or minus 1 m/s.  It became more practical to fix the value of c in the definition of the metre and use atomic clocks and lasers to measure accurate distances instead.

The next question is:

What is Waina?

Thanks mal Tukurtukur i have read it but i will check it may be u want to enlight me on something, i will check again.

Back 2 d game

Ans:
Waina is also known as: masa, yar-tsala

Types of waina: Wainar gero, wainar shinkafa etc.

Preparation: It is fried in a special pan made of earth. Depending on the type, waina is usually eaten with stew & man-shanu, groundnut-powdered pepper (jajin kulikuli), sugar, honey

Features: Cycle in shape, size vary depending on the frying pan used. Comes in whitish, brownish, grey actually the colour usually depends on the grain used

Recommendation: Ideal for breakfast (wainar gero ko yar'tsala with jajin kulikuli n koko), waina is also ideal for ceremonial events due to its richness and features i.e 5 guest can wash their mouth with 5pieces of waina n feel satisfied, preparably wainar shinkafa with miyar-tarkwashe(alaiyahu & kabewa) and man-shanu (local butter). Not bad for breakfast for those wishing a heavy morning meal i.e travelers, students

Thats right, aunt Husnaa. I get one book in lib and luckily enough met with an excerpt written about that dream. Am looking for the whole text on web. Thanks.

I think that Obama's mother might have died a muslim, Muhsin. She married an Indonesian muslim after she divorced from Obama's dad.
Barack's middle name is Hussein. I think I saw it written on Mufi's post on US elections thread. So his dad must have been a muslim. Maybe its like what happens in yoruba clans, some members of the same family are muslims and some are christians. It looks that way with Obama's paternal lineage.

I know of his grandfather's name and addini. Think I once talked about that too at General  Board. What I don't know and wanted to know was of his parents' belief. Amma your answer says a lot, aunt Husnaa.

Hopefully before the year runs out the new ministers will be sworn in.

Definately. But picture/images are not allowed in Islam I believe u know that. Probably thats y u asked.

You guys are breaking the thread's rule. Ask the person below you! LOL ;D

Next question:

You have been in love with a girl for more than a year. A week to sending your parent to 'talk' when she disclosed to you that she had been married before. What would you do? Leave her or what?

I'll really like to hear your views for that happened just recently to one of my friends. And he's not yet decided what to do now, just looking for advice.

Kwanturobacy kenan.

Maybe they haven't been loyal with each other. They have been playing the 'saurayi and budurwa' game and when the time came for the serious issue (i.e commitment) she decides to tell him the truth.
It is her own way of being honest and he should respect her for that. Even the fact that he didn't realise she had been married is a plus for it didn't show on her.

So he should not leave her.

Allah ya basu sa'a.

It is her way of either being honest, or of setting a trap for him. Sai da ya shiga ciki tsundum sannan ta gaya masa. He should cool a bit, find out what else she's been hiding from him before taking the next step. If all is well, then no problem, provided he is not averse to marrying bazawara. Ai sunna ce. Kuma ma it means she has been handling herself well, tunda duk dadewarsu bai ga wani alamu a jikinta da ya nuna ta taba aure ba. Wannan kwarewar sai su DB ;D

You guys are the limit Wallahi! >:( You make a bazawara sound like tainted goods! So it doesnt show on her that ta taba aure so its  a plus for her and the guy she is "deceiving". i.e. still in mint condition so to speak. Wai why dont you look at yr selves then? Ku saunawa kuke yin auren and still go after another woman? In ba dan ba dan ba ai ku yakamata a fara giving the going over to see if u are still in prime working condition kafin mace ta saurare ku da zancen aure! You see a forty yr old man with a huge potbelly yana maiko da naso sabo da kiba and lack of exercise and wai sai ya ce he will be choosy about whom he wants to marry!
Anyway, what about mazan da suke yi wa ;yan mata karya suce basu da aure? Ko kuwa sun mallaki this and that which is all tasha at the end of the road? Besides why should she tell him bazawara ce ita? If the issue has never cropped up between them, why should she have to voice it? Now that he has shown he is serious, she tells him. Before, she had no need to, since the relationship may not have been on a serious footing, at least as far as she is concerned. So its up to him, if he rejects her saboda ita bazawara ce, then she has made a lucky escape because he is SHALLOW and FICKLE and IMMATURE and incapable of TRUE LOVE!.
Kafada wa abokin naka haka Muhsin!!!

Anty husnaa aren't you over reacting?
No one said bazawara is like tainted good fa.

There are certain issues that idan za'ayi aure it is odd not to mention them. Being married previously is not a crime ai and neither is it bad.
Idan ta taba aure kin ga ai akwai zancen gado ko kuma 'yaya.
Like i said in my post,she mentioned it to him when the need came and it is left for him to choose to marry her or otherwise.
If she hadn't told him till after the marriage sannan ya jiyo a waje then it would have been worse and most guys will find that deceptive.

Don't forget that honesty and trustworthiness are part of the foundations in marital life
I agree that any man that lies about not being married while he actually is is a coward.

Maybe they haven't been loyal with each other. They have been playing the 'saurayi and budurwa' game and when the time came for the serious issue (i.e commitment) she decides to tell him the truth.
It is her own way of being honest and he should respect her for that. Even the fact that he didn't realise she had been married is a plus for it didn't show on her.

So he should not leave her.

It is her way of either being honest, or of setting a trap for him. Sai da ya shiga ciki tsundum sannan ta gaya masa. He should cool a bit, find out what else she's been hiding from him before taking the next step. If all is well, then no problem, provided he is not averse to marrying bazawara. Ai sunna ce.

Husnaa maybe you misunderstood.
I didn't mean to taint anyone.

There is nothing wrong with marrying someone who has married before. Kowa ya sani a duniyan nan cewa yawancin maza idan aka basu zabi tsakanin macen da ta taba aure da wadda bata taba ba,majority would pick wadda bata taba ba. There is a general mindset over that. Wadansu ma za su kawo miki hadisi inda annabi SAW ya bawa wani shawara ya auri wadda bata taba aure ba.However most fail to mention that shi ma Annabin auren shi na farko was to a 'previously married' woman.

If there is anything i find tainting in the post is the word 'bazawara'. It sounds so insulting,likewise 'budurwa'. I dislike those words.

I have once attended a wedding that took place after maghrib. I was so surprised at the timing and i asked why it wasn't held as usual in the morning or afternoon. Then i was told a bazawara ce and yawancin auren bazawara is done in the night. The person that told me wore a nasty smile on him kamar wani wai abun kunya ne shiyasa ba'a son publicising. I was so mad at him,told him that one day it could be his sister or daughter. Ya ce wai ina mai baki.

Next question:
(anty Husnaa don't answer). Do you think my post tainted women who have been divorced?

Lol You are too apologetic GGNK! ;D ;D ;D
Of course u didnt mean to taint anyone, but its the subconscious that was speaking its mind and the prejudice just slipped out. At any rate, you have confirmed my point that most men are prejudiced against divorced women or widows.
Some of the comments of yrs and BKG's posts the ones I highlighted of course are demeaning comments. At any rate if u and Muhsin feel that I am over reacting it is bcos u can never appreciate the import of yr words being that u are of the opposite sex and therefore it wont even register in yr minds that its a rather humiliating thing to say. Kuma what makes it more hurtful is that there is nothing the divorced/widowed women can do about the stigma, since its a man's world and the men dont view their divorced and widowed counterparts as used goods, and neither do the women for that matter, which just adds salt to the injury
Its just not fair that is all.

LOL ;D Husnaa. You are still on your feet. ;D

Well, NO, to answer your question, GGNK.

Although this issue, maybe. hasn't been completely discussed, I wanna bring up another new one.

Question:
There has been a number of hurricane catastrophies in US recently, and each has a peculiar name, e.g Rita, Katrina, Paloma, etc. Please, has anyone of you any idea how do they come up with these names? As far as I do know; some of these names are names of people living around that continent. I do know that from some of their films I watched. Any idea? Thanks.

Reason to Name Hurricanes
Experience shows that the use of short, distinctive names in written as well as spoken communications is quicker and less subject to error than the older, more cumbersome latitude-longitude identification methods. These advantages are especially important in exchanging detailed storm information between hundreds of widely scattered stations, coastal bases, and ships at sea.

The use of easily remembered names greatly reduces confusion when two or more tropical storms occur at the same time. For example, one hurricane can be moving slowly westward in the Gulf of Mexico, while at exactly the same time another hurricane can be moving rapidly northward along the Atlantic coast. In the past, confusion and false rumors have arisen when storm advisories broadcast from radio stations were mistaken for warnings concerning an entirely different storm located hundreds of miles away.

Before, she had no need to, since the relationship may not have been on a serious footing, at least as far as she is concerned.

Gaskiyar goga ne, you are over-reacting. My (or our) comments are in no way meant to be demeaning. In fact goga was even generous in saying the girl (or woman ;D) is honest by mentioning it when she might have finally saw that he's serious. Kowa ya san gaskiya ne baza a hada budurwa (sorry goga) da baza*cough*wara ba. Macen da ta taba aure har ma kila ta haihu ba daya take da yarinya ba. We all know that the physical aspect or quality of a woman has an inverse relationship with age, and this is highly pronounced if she's married. Same applies to a man, but for the woman itis about ten times faster.

So muhsin, better advise your buddy to shine his eyes well well. If his love for her is strong enough to overcome the "ta taba aure" factor, fine. If not, akwai 'yan mata freshfresh falafala a gari. Kuma ba laifi bane don a auren shi na farko ya zabi ya auri yarinya fiye da wacce ta taba aure.

Who is your favourite Nigerian president and why?

You break the thread's rule; you must ask another question.

Ajingi is right mana, W.A.I mana, it makes sense.

Should sex education be introduced in our
post-primary schools?

What's post primary? U mean secondary schools. I agree and see the need for sex education, ideally for those in senior classes.

MY QUESTION:
If you agree/disagree with me. Why?

I don't agree with you IBB because we have survived well without sex education being taught in our schools.

May i ask what sex education means?

Sex education is educating the younger generation about the dangers involve in unwanted sex and how to prevent, reduce and avoid such dangers associated with unwanted sex.

It enlights the teenagers about safe sex.

Having sex at early age these days is becoming inevitable, so they have to be educated.

Taken religious point of view into consideration, when educating the teenagers about sex can help as well.

Question:
Do you see the need for sex education now?

I think we had this discussion before in some thread that is now obscurely buried inside the forum. I think its a good idea to provide sex education for children and not only at post primary but at primary sch. Infact sex education starts right at the age when kids are around 5 yrs old, so that they can get out of the clutches of paedophiles. Remember the 7 and 9 yr old little girls who get raped. If they had been made aware that such could happen to them earlier, they might have run away from the situations.
When my daughter was about five yrs old or so, I began to warn her of men touching her up or calling her as we lived in an unguwa which wasnt GRA then and u cant stop kids going out of the house when u cant accompany them. Sure enough one day she was conversing with me and she said mama I was walking with so and so from arabic sch and a man saw me and called me and I told him my mother told me never to go to strangers and I ran away. So u c it works. Kids are much much smarter than we give them credit for, and they become less vulnerable if we apprise them of possible dangers to themselves when we cant do anything about it. Like I always say, telling kids about sex doesnt have to be in a dirty way. It should be in a way in which they respect it and know the pros and cons of  it. It doesnt mean that they start to indulge in it just because they know how to protect themselves from it. It is better that u teach yr kids or a sch professional teaches them, rather than they find out from their friends outside the house, something which is dangerous to say the least.

My Que: So what do others think?

IBB do you know what is meant by safe sex?
You can have sex with someone that you aren't married to but in a safe manner. A manner in which you cannot contact HIV. An example is using the various safe sex measures. At least that is what the HIV awareness people define safe sex.

Husnaa,if only majority of the people will go to school it would have been good. The parents should first be the ones responsible for their children's sex education. Teaching it in schools can be a controversial thing especially in our kind of society where the word sex is a taboo. However with adequate knowledge and propaganda it can work.

Next question: How would you answer a small girl or boy if he/she asked you what is meant by gays or lesbians?

Husnaa that's really good! We got the "watch out for paedophiles" talk when I was in primary

school and I couldn't be more thankful for it! It teaches you vigilance and puts you one step

ahead of the sick perverts!


It's not just about going to school Gogannaka. I think it is extremely important that children

especially pubescent children to be educated to an extent because like it or not, they are going

to explore by themselves. Might as well explain the consequences to them in a safe controlled

environment before they do anything stupid.


About parents, in an idealistic world that will work. But realistically? These are northern parents

you're talking about o! Hmmm, a few years ago I was sitting with my mum and having a friendly

debate about IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) and how it's the way forward. We were chatting about whether

it's haram or halal when an aunt came in. Anyways, the talk went on into the levonogestrel and the

risk of ectopic pregnancies. After I left to pray, I overheard this woman tell my mum to "be careful

with this your daughter, her eye is too open. She's still young and she knows too much." I didn't know

what was more disturbing; that she thinks It's shameful to know about risks that could affect any

woman out there or the fact that she thinks at that age, I was too young to know such. I immediately

felt worried for her daughters. Parents need to be more open. Many of these parents are living in a

fool's paradise. It's all fun and games ... until a daughter gets knocked up!


Awareness is everything. When people fall victim of their ignorance the stigma could haunt them for

the rest of their lives. One of my closest friends was assaulted as a child and even though it's over

15 years ago, she's still having problems getting her life together. Abun tausayi Wallahi. It psychologically

destroys a person beyond explanation. Now that's a reported case, think about the ones that were swept

under the carpet or the unreported cases that evolve into repressed anger.


In some countries, pubescent children are given computerized baby that acts like a normal one. You

need to feed it, change diapers, rock it till it burps and most importantly the baby cries! A lot! And

when it cries, you have to calm it down like you would a real baby. If you don't treat the baby well

(i.e. calm it down when it cries, hold it wrongly etc), it'll be recorded and you'll fail the subject. The

aim is to show the teenagers how excruciatingly difficult it is to raise a baby at such a young age and

as a result, the students abstain - well most of them. Bottom line is that it works. I know this isn't practical

considering the population in Nigeria, but the message can be conveyed differently. Teach the boys

responsibility and the girls to protect themselves and their bodies. It's not just about AIDS awareness but

other STIs, consent, the dangers of abortion and you can also throw in religion while you're at it. You'd be

surprised how fear can control them. What better place to pass on this information by the masses than schools?

Hhmm, Complex issue! ???... Sometime I felt telling children about sex will make them curious/anxious, though I see
it necessary in the western world where sex is rampant and in d open..... But is't that Important in our society?
I doubt.... No harm in warning our young girls never to go with strangers and Inappropriate behaviors of some men
towards them which include their own male relative, cos it do happen in the house sometime.... But not actually telling them about safe sex, that sex and that sex as they do in the west.. that just sound like giving permission to me but be careful....

Fateez that was an excellent piece on the subject. Now its contributions like these that make the forum worth visiting and a well of infortainment. Not the dead one liners delivered most times which are inane and excruciatingly tiresome. Having said that, I think I will disagree with you MYSELF. I believe our societies need to educate our kids more than the western societies since they have support bases put in place for kids who stray so to speak. Bayan haka, the approach they take is completely different from what our approach to the teaching should be. They are inclined towards consent and consensus, that is why they preach practicing safe sex and so on. For the westerners, there is no religious aspect to it. We on the other hand, must educate towards avoidance of it before marriage and what it should entail within marriage. We must include religious teachings into it so that it becomes all the more weightier in the understanding of the children.  All we have to do is look at how the Qur'an approaches the subject. We know that as far as religion is concerned, one shouldnt be shy or embarrassed in discussing matters pertaining to sex in so far as they are for education and so on. If we look at the Qur'an there are places where an analogy to a field for sowing was made concerning the marital relations between men and women, and it was said approach yr fields as you wish or like (except of course in the ways forbidden by Allah SWT). Times when it is halal to approach a wife and when it is haram to approach her, the purity of the woman etc. Then in another chapter Nur, there is the punishment to be meted out to those who engage in extramarital relations and also in another sura which says famously la takuraba zzina.. do not approach it which shows the seriousness of it. We also have instances where the prophet teaches the sahabi about birth control and measures of self control.
So we can see a juxtaposition here; permission and  censoring  at the same time. The permission is granted to the married, the censorship is enforced on the non married. That teaches us straight away about who should and should not engage in cohabitation. That is the difference we have to inculcate in our kids when talking to them about sex; when and when not to indulge in it. Another thing that strikes me is that some lucky kids at an early age become haafiz. Now in an environment where they can actually understand Arabic and not just learn by rote, then the children already become aware of the meaning of such ayas as la takurabuzzina, or the lashings to be meted out to those who engage in extramarital affairs. It might take a bit more explanation for them to understand what is meant by the rest, but the more perceptive ones catch on anyway without much outside elucidation.
I remember that when I was at primary sch, we were taught everything we needed to know about menstruation at our islamic lecture hours and that was even before we knew what exactly that entailed since we never saw anyone in that condition. But you know as kids everything is gospel truth and u accept it and that is what we did. Much later everyone found out ofcourse, but the previous knowledge prepared us for what to do under the circumstances.

We must teach them as openly as possible but we must also show them what is right about it and what is wrong about it and that is one of the ways in which children will behave responsibly towards it.

GGNK, if a kid asked me what a lesbian and a gay were, I'd tell them the truth. That these are ppl disobeying God's law of what is natural and what is unnatural. I cant understand why you are ambivalent about this. The Qur'an talks about it when ever Prophet Lot's ppl are mentioned. So why should we avoid explaining it to children? Isnt it better that they know before hand before some paedophile gets his hands on them?

Well I can't argue with religious aspect of view, Therefore I concur if the teaching will be according to religious guides..
But I still maintain my stand against the western way of teaching.... Few month back there was this documentary on british Tv Channel 4 aiming to educate the young nation about sex, and is really disgusting... Everything is in detail how should or shouldn't be done.. is awful!

I guess that is where we should differ, but at the same time,  kids get to know everything eventually... with or without society's blessing. So better to show "everything" in a dispassionate educative way so that kids realize that this is not porn rather than have them see it somewhere where a sense of lewdness is imparted to the subject matter accompanied by a lot of sniggering.

Well, as said one of our forumites on other board; my ball told me there would be a fierce debate ahead of DB's question on sex education.Very interseting, educative and informative.I wish I had taken part but have little to say as a novice. LOL ;D

To start; sincerely speaking that should be taught. Why? I don't think you can really hide things from children nowadays. Therefore if they were taught of its danger on base religious and moral ground, then fine and good. Wallahi you will surely be left dumbfounded when you overhear some children saying 'things' these days.

The case on point is that; how can that be taught properly?

We are not to take the kind of methodologies deploy by Western countries, really, as put Myself. They do it, from the little I know, karara (without hiding a bit info.). And more demoralizing give chance for student to have a practice. That absolutely is obnoxious. But if we could handle it a hankalce yes I support it a hundred percent.

BTW, Fateez, your comment is very interesting and quite funny. Enjoyed it as I was reading a page of a novel.

a whole curiculum should be designed for the secondary
school begining from JSS 1 and as they progress more of
it are being explored to them according to their age and
maturity of absorption.

BKGZ man gat to have dreams,positive dreams.
Kaji wasu ai ajegunle suke marmarin zuwa for their own vacation.
And you know,dreams can come true.

Kai kuma where is your dream vacation destination?

@ GGNK - oho dai, by the time i started telling this forum
that na inside Ajegunle u dey stay zaka ce wai i be amebo
ko?

My dream vacation no be ajegunle, i want to go to Sicily  8).

next question:

I don't understand why product meant for sell in Nigeria will
be produced from a foreign country and brand it MADE IN
NIGERIA?

LOL,tofiakwa,no be Ajegunle i dey stay  >:(

Sicily sounds like a nice idea.

Regarding your question,i believe they put the made in Nigeria label because Nigerian brands are far more qualitative than most imported products nowadays. Misali,cables,fabrics(eg uniform materials,Khaki etc),tarpaulins,ropes,etc.

I had a conversation with a staff of gongoni ltd,makers of rambo insecticide.They introduced this paper insecticide they call 'paper rambo'. You just light it with fire,blow the fire out and the smoke will kill the insects.
The guy went for an exhibition in China and coincidentally he saw that same product produced in china that is exactly the same as the one their company produces.Same name,same everything and they even put 'made in Nigeria' Kano ma to be precise.
They took the case up with the commerce ministry,i dunno how it ended.

Between the standards organisation of Nigeria,the consumer protection council and the ministry of commerce,who do you think is responsible for such things?

Hmm............ sounds like a mystery ???

What sounds like a mystery?

The fact that ppl are falling off their arses to label their products made in Nigeria. Times were when made in nigeria was equal to low or no quality.

Mystery is that which cannot be explained through the common sense.  You have to discover it and it remains oblivious and unfathomable.  It is lock in abracadabra?

Who is a genuis?
