1. Christians do not 'test' God. We do not stand in front of a moving train and call upon God for a miracle. That is not how faith works
2. When Jesus was asked to jump from the mountain for God to save Him. He said he would not test God.
3. A number of pastors already died from COVID in USA doing exactly what he is asking.
4. Assuming a pastors faith is strong enough to withstand the virus, is his entire congregation at that same spiritual level?
Stay safe. Take precautions. Pray.
God help us all these trying times. Amen.

Check out whats happening with the NDDC scholarship. Comment and push this to front page.

The Niger Delta Development Commission in May, 2016 called for a Computer Based Test of all intending scholars by text message who wished to pursue their Masters and Doctorate degrees abroad – with an official release of this list of successful candidates of the Computer based test published on the NDDC website much later in July.
In June 2016, before the list of successful candidates in the computer based test was even published online; interviews were conducted for the successful candidates who were contacted by text messages. As at the 21st of September 2016, the finalized list of successful candidates had not yet been released.
90% of students applied to UK schools which are scheduled to resume between the second week in September to October 2016 with most enrolment deadlines in October.
As we speak to date; we are yet to receive news from NDDC.
Here are a few details:
1. The NDDC did not communicate the reasons for this delay. All efforts to get a response from the authorities have proved abortive.
2. There are rumors that the successful scholars list is being tampered with.
3. Many have already lost their admissions.
4. Many are unable to defer as most Uk schools only have September Intakes; meanwhile the Nddc scholarship is only Valid for a limited time from when issued. Thus are on the verge of loosing their admissions.
5. The Visa process alone takes about a month
6. The 2015/2016 set of scholars had to write several letters and stage protests before their allowances were finally paid without a public apology. Their videos can be found on YouTube.
7. The future of the brightest minds from the oil producing states is being mortgaged for the benefits of a few.
8. The lack of integrity and structure is laughable. Other scholarship bodies like PTDF have duly finalized details with their intending scholars who are now; this moment already abroad settling properly into school.
9. This chaotic manner of governance has been said to be the order of the day, a bitter pill which we must swallow since “we are not the only set to face this”.
We write to say that this is unacceptable and that the scholars who have made it to the final stage and the youth of the Niger Delta Area demand a response from the commission and delivery of their promise to serve the people in truth and integrity.
We demand the following:
1. A public statement and apology indicating why the list has been delayed for so long.
2. A swift release of the award list and letters so that September scholars can proceed to obtain Visas and resume school salvaging the admissions left.
3. A swift release of the full monies for tuition and upkeep immediately to the schools and students upon arrival in order not to repeat the evils and delays as in the previous sets who received their monies some 8months after arrival.
We are aware that given NDDCs past record with the scholars and youth of this scheme, these claims may be denied, refused and sought to be stifled..snuffed out from the public eye with grandiose arguments lacking simple evidence.
My dear citizens; what may we gain by concocting such stories?…absolutely nothing. But there is much selfish gain on the other side after all they fight for no cause and stand to gain immensely from fixed accounts gathering interest on the monies and necks of the helpless.
The citizens are greater than the elected. Let us speak up. Let us share this across all platforms.
There is hope.

NDDC (Niger Delta Development Committee) Prospective Scholars.

GUIDELINES ON HOW TO TELL IF A NEWS IS FAKE

1. Is it from an established news source with an image and tradition to protect? E.g. CNN, Guardian, NTA, Channels

2. Are other news sources publishing the same news?

3. Does the story quote actual people and attribute statements to them? Not "our sources said", more like "Nnamdi Okoro, MD of the company, said"

I hope this is helpful. SMH.

Wow. I'm actually reading this in surprise about how many people in Nigeria cannot distinguish between a news story from a credible source and a source-less and unverifiable gossip published on line.

This our poor education system is the biggest problem in Nigeria.

FBI has no such list on its site, Amanpour has none on her site, but a writer says "courtesy of FBI and Amanpour" and people are commenting about idle gossip published as news.

We should have a "social media and internet news certified user certificate" in Nigeria, so that people learn how to assess news credibility online. Haba.

AdeniyiA:
Their action is totally condemnable, meanwhile the manner our ladies dress nowadays, seriously we're going back to the days of Adam nd Eve...

Who is this "Ode". Normal men do not rape or sexually assault a woman because they are turned on by her dressing; Sick coward losers do...and even if you wear burquah, dem go still rape.

So how is the security guy supposed to look out for threats to life of his ward when he is busy shining shoes, carrying umbrella, handbag, etc?

I say any government official using security personnel for chores does not have urgent need to guard their life, and hence should have security removed from them. Period.

Rad1cal:


You are one lousy liar. Get out of here mehn ! Are you trying to tell us Premiumtimes who gave us a break down of the budget is an APC media arm ?.

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/195903-buhari-to-spend-more-than-jonathan-on-presidential-villa-to-spend-less-on-food.html


Cover your head in shame.

whats dis one on about. read english. it was ambodes fight with fashola that revealed the funny items. pdp had no ammunition during lagos election. incompetent opposition. incompetent government. pdp legacy of failure.

Rad1cal:


Shame on your double faced stance. The petitioners should follow it in court simply because the EFCC has suddenly become incompetent and toothless when APC matters arises.

Your hypocrisy stinks, go and have a bath of forthrightness before bleating.

u can make ur points without abuse. im for good governance. you think you know where am coming from but you have no idea what my opinion of fashola is either so shut up, or engage civilly. pdp as an opposition party shld do a better job. basically it took apc infighting for the so called budget padding to be unveiled. in a state where a tough political election battle took place? pdp is incompetent as government and incompetent as an opposition. what type of opposition party just throws out accusations and thats it? mtcheew.

Rad1cal:


What has happened to the petition sent to EFCC indicting Fashola the non cheque signer .

Good question. ever heard of order of mandamus? the ppl who sent the petition shld follow up in court. the efcc owes it to the taxpayer to investigate even if to do a report and say there was no wrongdoing. but its crazy for a government official to announce fraud then do nothing. in fact its madness and a display of incompetence. such media petitions as i call it shld not come from government

why not petition efcc for investigation? either do so or agree you are a foolish governor.

The problem with some guys is they do not know the difference between "not interested" "hard to get" and "I don't like you".

Not interested: Polite, but hard to get dates, returned calls etc.

Hard to get: You get dates easily, Phone calls returned, but she holds out on physical, giving in slowly to your advances at her pace.

I don't like you (and I'm a horrible person): Gives nothing. no returned calls. Dates na wahala. Ask for favors, as if she did not somehow solve her issues before you asked her out.

Why some men want to be with horrible people is beyond me. If you have a woman that treats you like crap and you love her and want to be with her, you need to find out when you started hating yourself like this and why.

presido1:
Na main campus guys full here. Great Malabites.

We use to call guys that always follow babes Eskor Toyo those day.

RIP Prof.

Yes oh! U escort babe, you be Eskor Toyo then. Unical slang.

Was Fela, Ghandi or Martin Luther King poor? Was mandela "poor"? Not everyone counts money as important. Im sure he raised all his kids and fed his family. He was a prof that had a permanent office in Unical even in retirement...just so the University could advertise that he was amember of the faculty. He had enough to take care of himself.

Mbediogu:


I dont want to be like him, educated and poor.
He may not inspire young ones.
Poverty is not a blessing and is not unrelated
to laziness and short sightedness.
I wish him RIP.

I have to come out of retirement to comment here oh! The great Prof? Dead? I did not sit for his lectures cause he was retired then, but was present at a speech he gave at NAT once. Rousing speech about how we the young should not sit and watch the country descend into chaos and corruption. Funny hearing the comments about Graham and Essia. Great Malabites!!!

JbravoAdodger:
I'd leave kitchen, leave house, take a long walk, smoke about 3 cigarettes wonderin if I jus made the biggest mistake of life........

But I would not touch her

Exactly. I would not try it for the love of my wife. But that image wld haunt for a while. Truth is once I have seen that, she has to go. She did this on purpose and if u escape the first time, you might not escape next time. Once a hot woman comes after u like this its only a matter of time.

At least Americans have set a standard that open racism is not acceptable. If u must be racist keep it to yourself.
In Nigeria, have we set a standard? Have we all agreed that voicing tribalism or acting so is not acceptable? We see adverts for jobs and housing saying " we need an igbo lady" or " Yoruba tenant". We are so full of s#!t.

Una get power. Those on top of the food chain in Nigeria don't care about tribe except when they are caught stealing. At that point they find their jobless tribesmen to fight for them by pointing at thieves from other tribes that escaped justice. Mtcheew. Go make some money...who effing cares about tribe?

OREMUSSANCTUS:
What sanusi cum soludo cld not do, dis great man is doing it, all he nids is our support.
Buh some uneducated people re bashing dis great man, is it not a shame dat d "giant of Africa" is still importing toothpick?

Yeah. You know better than the economist. Smh.

Awesome. So the illiterates will be the ones to push development forward then. Great.

Hehehe

all4naija:
@ OP

You made a big fool of yourself yet you think you are defending your right but done in a very primitive way. After all the BS display the bank will still attend to the white man. It is the system you have to blame not the white man.

Priority are given to foreigners in a situation like that sometimes, most especially, expatriates. For example, in a foreign country your country ambassador would be attended to first before the locals in some situation. But you took the bait and behave like uneducated person and the people are complimenting you for your silliness. You just show that you are a barbarian!

Bush man
As a foreigner go and jump the queue in London for a bus. If the bank decided to prioritize certain important customers that's understandable. Every business has its backbone clients. But it should have nothing to do with race and it shld not be done openly in the banking hall, disrespectful of those in the queue. Finally, those who are rushing to register now, what d fuuuukkk is ur problem? Banks have literally being begging ppl to register since January.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

Long Hiss. Mavins crew are worst lyrically. Bunch of untalented guys claiming champion for their mind. They are nothing but locals.

Where is my number one international super star Dbanj. I thank God you left that group. I they feel you always.

Your Dbanj is working on tonto dike's new album. What a joke. What a joker.

Leave artistes alone. Its all make believe and if u act based on a video of davido, I suggest the person that needs to be arrested is your parents.

Reportedly? Hungry bloggers. Reported by u.

A big mouth but a great leader. U cant take that away from him.

eya, sad this kind of things is still happening.
The rate of cult related activities in Lagos is now becoming unbearable, no thanks to the likes of Olamide and co always singing in praise of those societal ills. In one of wizkid's song "OMO ASK WANDE, EM GO YEARN YOU HOW WE TINGO" TINGO means Eiye confraternity if u be street oriented.

Well...when such huge allegations surface and there is denial without an accompanied lawsuit, know it probably has some truth to it. Haba. Fashola is a SAN Na.
