Before the Biafra Civil War between 1967 and 1970, some people were telling Ojukwu, "Give us guns." Records have it that some men hanging around at the beer parlors and market squares were boasting about what they would and could do if they were given guns.
They blamed Ojukwu for wasting time on starting the war; they called him names, and some even boasted about their connections and contacts to buy arms for the war.
Ojukwu, from the bottom of his heart, released 30 million pounds to an Nnewi man called Muojekwu Osigwe grandfather of Nze Tobe Osigwe for the purchase of arms for the Biafra War. The man ran away with the money to the United States of America, bought houses, and started living life. Those that were boasting, "Pull the trigger, start the war, we can fight, we shall do this and that," they all ran away.
Only a few men stood by our General Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu for the three years of that bloody war. It's not that Ojukwu failed, but our people, “ndi oji onu,” all ran away. Some ran to the enemy’s side, and some ran because they didn’t want to be conscripted into the Biafran army during that war period.
Today, social media is here, and a lot of fools, just like in the 60s, are here parading in this space talking rubbish. On the radio, they accuse Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of doing nothing but talking. I have never seen one progressive piece of advice from those sons and daughters of the devil; they cannot say any positive thing about the restoration of Biafra. They only hang around on people’s timelines to dish out imbecilic words from their mouths.
ESN was founded to protect the land, but most of them were nowhere to be found. Instead, some of them were looking for money to buy “mkpurumiri,” preferring to go to the beer parlor for drinking, womanizing, and gossiping about what they had no knowledge about, and they didn’t have anything to contribute other than gossiping.
Even some of them have turned around to blame Nnamdi Kanu for insecurity and even blame him for killings in Igbo land that have been committed by the Fulani herdsmen and some government sponsored terr0rist tagged it to ESN, All these are still ndigbo.
We stand strong, we must not give up ✊❤️🔥
Whoever divorces his wife commits adultery but Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife Anita Ebhodaghe divorced in 2016. -Matthew 5:32
Rev. Chris Okotie of Household of God Church, Pastor Tunde, the Gwarinpa grand chewer and piper Chris Okafor and Prophet Joshua Iginla divorced. These are men of God, but it's funny they don't know the word of God. I can bet my holy heavenly ordained preeq that 99% of these men of God did not marry their wife as virgin, it's against the word of God to marry:
•A none virgin woman
•A prvstitute
•A divorced woman
•A widow
•A single mother
Pay attention!
-->They shall not marry a prostitute or a woman who has been defiled by another man, or a woman divorced from her husband. -Leviticus 21:7
-->The woman he marries must be a virgin. He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution. -Leviticus 21:13-14
Now tell me, what are these so-called men of God really preaching? 💔
Are they adulterous men or not? Over to you, drop your opinion in the comments section. As an innocent man, you should not go against the word of God to avoid suffering for 6,000 years, all these so-called men of God I mentioned are suffering today because they have gone astray.
Your wife must not be a divorced woman, she must not be a single mother, must not be another man's left over, must not be a widow and to summarise it.
She must be a young virgin, oh my goodness! 😍😋
The younger the better.
Sermons over!
@William19295590@davido@mono_knowless@Honeys_Money1 You're senseleßs you know? How do you people even get the mind to comment such rubbish under someone's post? If you're a motherfúcker, don't think another man is.

She saw her mother cooking twice and called it slavery.
But,
She didn't see her father
- Coming from small towns and villages to the city
- Working hard to buy land, build a house
- Provide a good education and life for his kids
- Never taking a day off
- Sacrificing all his dreams and his entire life for their well-being.
But no man will call it slavery or oppression.
We see it as our duty. All fathers deserve respect.
This man understands football and achievements more than those urchins that compare Messi to @Cristiano .. Ronaldo has literally/practically won everything in football ⚽
He's my G.O.A.T
He should go and exhibit his boxing and MMA skills in Kirikiri prison.
The man captured in the disturbing assault of a woman has been apprehended by police around Ogbor Hill, Abia State. Credit to CSP Emeka Amanchukwu and his team for the prompt response.
May this serve as a reminder that violence has consequences, and victims deserve protection, not silence.
Justice delayed is painful. Justice delivered restores hope.
@netanyahu I join @Ofer_binshtok to respectfully urge you to recognise Biafra as a Sovereign state.
Nigeria is a terr0rist, islamic state, Biafrans can't align with them. They kidnpp and kill us everyday
Muslims Are Commanded to Lie: Smile Outwardly at Non-Muslims While Cursing Them in Their Hearts
By: Ofer Binshtok
- Quran 3:28
"Let not the believers take the disbelievers (non-Muslim) as allies (protectors, close friends, or guardians) instead of the believers. Whoever does that has nothing from Allah in anything, except when you do so out of caution (taqiyya, that is, taking precautionary measures to protect yourselves). Allah warns you against Himself, and to Allah is the return."
(Note: Under the category of Usul al-Fiqh, this is a general verse. The fear is subjective, which effectively makes the exception unlimited. Any kind of fear qualifies.)
- Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Baz:
(This is the transcript of his short lecture)
Some members of the panel, including Sheikh Saud, mentioned the following narration: "We smile in the faces of certain people while our hearts curse them." This is not a hadith from the Prophet, peace be upon him. It is an athar preserved from the words of Abu Ad-Darda, may Allah be pleased with him. Al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, recorded it in the section on the virtues of the Companions under the entry for Abu Ad-Darda.
Abu Ad-Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, who was from the Ansar, said: "We smile in the faces of certain people while our hearts curse them." The scholars explained that this means he would smile at certain people even though he hated them for the sake of Allah. He did so only out of fear of their harm because they were rulers or had power and influence that could cause damage. He would greet them with a smile, or at least without harshness or a frowning face, fearing the evil and harm they might bring upon him and upon the Muslims. Yet, in his heart, he continued to hate them for the sake of Allah. This falls under the category of taqiyya, as stated in the verse: "except that you fear from them some danger" (Al Imran 3:28).
The fact that a person smiles at certain people, shows them a friendly face, or even laughs with them while inwardly regarding them as enemies and hating them, doing so only to ward off their harm and protect himself from their plots, and not out of love for them or desire for what they possess, is something that is permitted.
A similar example is found in the authentic collection from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. She said that a man once asked permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. The Prophet said: "Let him in, what a terrible brother of the tribe, or what a terrible son of the tribe." Yet when the man came in, the Prophet, peace be upon him, received him warmly and with an open expression. After the man left, Aisha asked: "O Messenger of Allah, you said, 'Let him in, what a terrible brother of the tribe,' but when he entered you treated him kindly." The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied: "O Aisha, the worst of people is the one whom others avoid only out of fear of his harm." When the person is from among the elders and leaders, failing to show friendliness or showing a stern face could lead to harm. There is sometimes a real need to invite him to goodness and to treat him kindly so that perhaps he will accept Islam, perhaps he will become upright, or perhaps he will stop harming people. Therefore, when people avoid him only out of fear of his harm, this belongs to the category of bringing about benefit and calling to Allah.
The same approach was taken with Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul in Medina. He was the head of the hypocrites, and the Prophet, peace be upon him, knew it full well. He had vile statements attributed to him. Yet, because he was a prominent leader highly respected among the Ansar, to the point that before the Hijrah, they had almost crowned him king over Medina, when Allah brought the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the Hijrah occurred, that plan collapsed, and he lost what had been promised to him. This filled him with rage, envy of the religion, and resentment because the Hijrah had deprived him of the kingship and crowning they had pledged. He remained, and we seek refuge in Allah, a wicked hypocrite until he died at the end of the Hijrah period.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, continued to treat him gently, to be courteous to him, and to show him a degree of friendly tolerance out of fear that his evil would harm the Muslims, and to prevent any violence, killing, or expulsion that would cause great damage to the Muslim community. When the Companions asked: "Shall we not kill him?" the Prophet replied: "I dislike that people should say that Muhammad kills his companions." He disliked killing him, imprisoning him, or exiling him from Medina so that groups from among his followers and supporters would not turn away. They respected him greatly and held him in high esteem. He had outwardly shown Islam and claimed to be Muslim. He prayed with the people, but in his heart there was disease and hypocrisy until he died upon his hypocrisy. We seek refuge in Allah.
This means that it is permissible to show some friendliness and tolerance toward important figures and leaders in certain matters when harshness toward them, killing them, or imprisoning them would result in greater harm and damage to the Muslims. This comes under the principle of committing the lesser evil to avoid the greater evil, and under the principle of attaining the greater benefit even if some lesser worldly benefit is lost.
I ask Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, to grant us all success in beneficial knowledge and righteous action."

- Ibn Kathir:
"In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' Allah said,"

- The verse in Surah Al Imran 3:28 states that believers should not take disbelievers as allies instead of believers except when they fear danger from them and must practice taqiyya.
Ibn Kathir in his major and widely accepted Tafsir applies this verse and the athar of Abu Ad Darda directly to dealings with non Muslims. He explains that when a Muslim fears harm from disbelievers it is permissible to show outward friendliness and smile at them while keeping hatred in the heart for the sake of Allah.
Sheikh Ibn Baz in his lecture Madarah Sharar al Nas uses the exact same athar but applies it in an internal setting within the Islamic Ummah. He teaches that it is allowed to show a degree of friendliness and tolerance toward evil leaders or hypocrites inside the Muslim community in order to prevent greater harm to the Muslims while the heart still holds hatred for the sake of Allah.
In both cases the same conduct appears: an outward smile and friendly appearance combined with complete inner disavowal. The only difference is the context. Ibn Kathir uses it for relations with non Muslims while Ibn Baz uses it for relations with harmful individuals inside the Islamic Ummah.
- Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Baz, who lived from 1910 to 1999, served as the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia. He was widely recognized as one of the most influential Sunni scholars in the Islamic Ummah during the twentieth century.
Born in Riyadh to a deeply religious family, he lost his father at the age of three. He memorized the entire Quran before reaching puberty and pursued a traditional religious education under the leading scholars of his time. At the age of sixteen, he contracted a severe eye infection that caused him to begin losing his vision, and he became completely blind by the time he turned twenty. Despite losing his sight, his extraordinary memory allowed him to continue his rigorous studies and teaching career.
He served as a judge for fourteen years, later became the president of the Islamic University of Madinah, and was appointed as the highest religious authority in the kingdom in 1993, a position he held until his death.
As a primary leader of the conservative Salafi school of thought, he published over sixty books and issued tens of thousands of legal rulings. Politically, he opposed violent uprisings against governments in Muslim countries, emphasizing the duty to obey rulers unless they commanded an act of clear disbelief.
One of the saddest things happening in many families is hiding in plain sight.
People who once slept under the same roof, shared meals and celebrated together now act like strangers and only reunite at funerals. Years of pride and unresolved conflicts have created generations of cousins who don't even know they are related.
But my question is, are broken families destroying blood ties faster than poverty ever did?
Sometimes, the greatest inheritance our grandparents left wasn't land or money, it was unity. And perhaps the bravest person in a family is the one willing to make the first call, even when they weren't the one who caused the division.
