Mr. I was a die hard Buhari follower, but since he got to that seat, he as proven to be what the opponent said he was, an illiterate, straight, pure, and simple.
I watched you every day trying so hard to defend what is indefensible, I tell you Sarki, I know you are only trying to save face, cos you yourself don't tire for that clueless dumb man, that can't reason for himself, if mamman Daura is not there.
The world is moving fast, and it's not ready to wait for Nigeria, if you are think Buhari with is level of governance us the best for Nigeria, then I'll just ask God to do your life the way Buhari is governing Nigeria, after all that was what we wished the wailers too.
He who wears the shoe, knows where it pinches, Buhari is really bad for the growth of Nigeria, that is a fact. Don't always argue.

It is not impossible...

The story of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus (Arabic: اصحاب الکھف‎, translit. aṣḥāb al kahf, lit. 'people of the cave') could be repeating itself here.

Further investigations should be made by the Chruch to determine if the 'giver' has not fallen into deep sleep between this period.

SOMEONE JUST GOT TO THE CHURCH FROM THAT ERA. GUESS WHAT? TIME TRAVEL TINZ BABY

The person should just expect a 1907 to 1973 blessing.

Chikina!

CuriousMynd:
A Nigerian lady on Twitter took to her twitter TL to shared photo of currency used between 1907 to 1973.

According to @reetah_kay;


Another user who also has the currency also shared photos of the one he has.

See photos below;

1907, ke?
When the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Protectorates forming Nigeria took place in 1914?

Up till 1959, Nigeria was using a common currency for the British West African countries that included Gold Coast (later to be called Ghana), Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Gambia

In preparation for the forthcoming 1960 Independence, Nigeria, for the first time minted it's own currency. Chief Festus Okotie Eboh was the Minister of Finance. This also heralded the formation of the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN)

As part of the Decimalisation process, in 1973, the currency of Pounds, Shillings, and Pence gave way to the Naira and Kobo. Measurements changed from Miles, Yards, Feet and Inches to Kilometers, Metres and Centimeters

Maybe we can add that around that same period, we changed from driving on the left to the right hand side of the road. This took place on Sunday, 2 April, 1972.

We need to respect History - Nigeria was not in existence in 1907, not to talk of having a currency in place.

I am attaching a Five Shillings note from that era. It is being kept for posterity. (I was not in the position to save a "whole" One Pound note)

It's not by force that you must drop something(money) whenever you find yourself at a church or service. God sees your heart that you don't have. Many don't go to church atimes cos they don't have money to drop as offering, this shouldn't be so. Our church leaders also need to make people aware of this.
