@ifortune04@Owiggy_ Nigerian Muslims think practising Islam makes it universal, that it gives them a say, that it isn't the property of the Arabs who originated it.
But everything about Islam suggests non-Arabs are passengers, never claimants, in a religion that belongs to the Arab people.
Weโre incredibly grateful for this futuristic project because the โBoreholeโ is first of its kind in our lifetime.๐ฟ๐ฆThe ANC government has been a blessing to our community, and we truly appreciate this initiative.

@Toyobobo6776@PastorMarvy SA is rarely the first choice for Nigerians seeking to live abroad.
Even their official 2022 census counted about 24,718 Nigerians there.
Most migrants in SA come from neighbouring SADC states: Zimbabwe (45%), Mozambique (19%), Lesotho (10%), and smaller numbers from Malawi.
@TwaRSA26@SimphiweSimpra5 So why do millions live in informal settlements without water or electricity?
Why the municipal collapse and youth unemployment above 45%?
Even your SAHRC says 65% of Black South Africans live in poverty, but you're better than other Africans because of white proximity?
@KagisoIsoboy@SimphiweSimpra5@BradChilling Could you leave Nigeria out of whatever is going wrong in South Africa?
We're not even your neighbours, not in the regional sense.
@DelegsT@flygodT@VisibleIsAss Tinubu should just restructure the country into regions now. He should stop talking about doing it in a second term, because he will not get one.
Still, the momentum behind regionalism cannot be stopped, whether he wins re-election or not.
@thepatriotcj1@GodLogic_GL Jesus the Nazarene was well known. Jerusalem's festivals drew crowds from across the Jewish world, and he taught there publicly.
Mk 3:7โ8: multitudes from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem and beyond came to him.
Mt 21:46: they feared the crowds, who regarded him as a prophet.
@thepatriotcj1@GodLogic_GL A large number of Jews followed Jesus and became Christians, but the religious leaders who held authority used their power to persecute them and drive them out.
Stop using an anti-Christian sect within Judaism to define all Jews, since most were not against Jesus.
@thepatriotcj1@GodLogic_GL It is anachronistic to say that the Jews rejected Jesus, since most of the Early Church, his followers, and the New Testament's authors were themselves Jews.
Ancient Jews were not monolithic, and using a single anti-Christian sect within Judaism to represent them all is wrong.
@KvngRox@gabe_teee Muslims will allow attacks on Allah: but to disparage Muhammad will provoke violence.
To Muslims : You can deny God, but you cannot deny the Prophet!
@chukatweet The war may have pushed Ibos out of the South-East, but historically they were already a scattered people, leaving their small land mass for other regions.
They migrate like the Fulani, except that the Fulani head to specific areas while the Ibo go everywhere in the country.
@HeySarki@Omotayo11510 This is not division as you imagine. Nigeria is a union of distinct nations; to deny it is dishonest.
Northerners hate division yet pursue religious division in their area: is imposing religious law in the North not a form of division?
We cannot pretend we want the same thing
@OneRoofVision@AstralPort@_Mr_Richard The Qur'an was revealed in Arabic, and its adherents are told to recite it in Arabic.
Non-Arab adherents are also urged to adopt Arab dress and names. That makes it an Arab faith and an Arab deity.
You may try to tap dance around it, but that is the truth.
