Y can't some of these pple be reasonable 4 once? Atleast dis is for their own and other corpers safety. Then wen dey are thru and comes back home u can put it back on dem.

Do u even know how some pple feel uncomfortable around pple puting on hijab. They view dem as security risk, rather than co-existing in harmony as one.

Everybody going it compliance . I think he is just flowing wit d tide.

RevDesmondJuju:
You fool. By denying this ever happened you are the one playing politics.


Even if I did not vote apc there is no way I will switch to supporting boko haram just as you apc zombies did under GEJ.

The war is failing. We are losing our Soldiers daily. Hardware and equipment end up in the hands of Boko Haram daily as well.


In any sane country a review and inquiry should be done but no you want to sweep it under the carpet because it will not paint your useless messiah in good light.

We demand a full criminal investigation on this because 105 armed soldiers do not get massacred like this without there being criminal negligence in the higher command.

Madness is when you keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome.

The current military brass is not up to speed and is obvious they lack any clue on how to prosecute this war.

If they insist on secrecy it is not to prevent boosting moral of Boko Haram it is to protect their highly paid jobs.


Now get that into your empty skull.

mr shallow brain, d millitary does things in a unique way, with intelligence knowing fully well dat putting such a thing if at all it happens on d prontpage of d newspaper will put d public in dissaray thereby raising so much talk wich won't be good 4 dis fight. I believe d families must hav been told If such a thing actually happened, and secret investigations and trials must hav bin carried out to see if there was sabotage and necessary action taken to forestall future occurence.

So dullard, please leave d millitary to handle their thing. Just give them necessary support and encouragement wit ur praises. Sleep tight man

RevDesmondJuju:
Shut your dirty mouth.


We need to know how the war is going.


If things are this bad then we need a change of strategy and command structure.


You are only interested in the political fallout this will have on your useless apc govt which by the way campaigned to end the insurgency in 2 mths and used it to discredit the last administration.

If GEJ was voted out on his inability to curtail boko haram, I see no reason why we should treat your Buhari any less after all he even boasted of ending the insurgency of 6yrs in 2mths.

guy ur mouth stinks. Must u politicize everything? Can't u get it into ur dull brain dat dis is wat d insurgents wants, making u feel dat u are spreading d truth. Hav u sat down. And think dat why hav the boko na rams not posted dis demselves.

RevDesmondJuju:
The only people tasked in defending you are being butchered like ram and you are here playing politics?

I pray boko haram overrun the north, middle belt and your useless Southwest

I dnt get u

mikron:
am i the only one that has posted photos of slain soldiers here? what is ur point?

my point is, stop advertising 4 Boko na Ram

Ajala travel, continue, hope u ar doing it 4rm ur own purse, if not, datz corruption. Cos datz not relevant to d Current economic crisis d country is facing right now

@op, u posting dis pics, wat ar u tryin to drive home? Or ar u sympathising wit d bokoharam, or wat , can't u just leave it at d fact dat we lost some Soldiers to dis fight. In case u dnt knw, dis kind of thing dampens d moral of our Soldiers and boost d moral of d insurgents, cos dey are looking 4 pple like u to help dem spread d News dat dey ar still relevant, since d millitary has destroyed their facilities and their means of communication

Meeting of deceit

Oga op abeg wake up 4rm ur slumber Jawe

What? Are u kidding me

Omo see Gobe

Need they ask? Or dey dnt knw their constitutional duties

Hmmmm! True talk

Datz the handy work of overzealous reporter

FRAUD IN BUSINESS DEALINGS

Memorise:

Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
Leviticus 19:11

Read Nehemiah 5:1-13

1 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

2 For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.

3 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.

4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.

5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.

6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

7 Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.

8 And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.

9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.

11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.

12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.

13 Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

Message

God hates extortion; hence He prohibits it. In our Bible reading, after the children of Israel returned to rebuild the city of Jerusalem, the rich ones among them began to extort the poor until they cried out to Nehemiah. Nehemiah rebuked the rich who did this, and he asked them to make restitution. When this was done, there was great joy in the land. We see a similar situation in the case of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector who amassed wealth by defrauding the poor. The day he received Jesus Christ, he immediately decided to share his wealth into two and give one part of it to the poor. Thereafter, he offered to apply the Mosaic Law on restitution, by restoring fourfold of whatever he fraudulently received from people (Exodus 22:1). Jesus did not tell him that his step on restitution was unnecessary, rather He reinforced it. Luke 19:9 says:
"And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham."

Moreover, restitution equally affects employer-employee relationships. In Leviticus 19:13, God warns against extorting your workers:
"Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning."

Do you know it is wrong to withhold your worker's salary or wages a day beyond the agreed date of payment? There are employers who sit on their staff salaries for weeks and months and expose them to untold hardship, and yet they expect their staff to be faithful in their work. That is wickedness! Such employers must make restitution by releasing the salaries and paying an inconvenience allowance. However, if the employer genuinely does not have the funds to pay the staff and he explains the situation to them before hand, he is exonerated. Some people trade with the salaries and benefits of their staff for months before releasing their pay. They do this to derive gain for themselves. This also is wickedness. Why is it that retired people who contributed all their working years to a fund cannot access their money or receive their pension after retirement? God hates fraud, whether it is perpetrated by an individual, organisation or government.

Key Point:

When you occupy a public office, you are accountable to God and to the people you are serving in that office.

WHAT LIFE IS NOT

Memorise:

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15

Read: Luke 12:15-20

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Message

In the materialistic world we live in today, not many people have the right understanding of what life is. An example here is the farmer in today's Bible reading, who experienced a major breakthrough in his farming business, to the extent that he decided to go on a leisure spree for the rest of his life, because he could afford it. He thought he had finally made it; he therefore wanted to enjoy life and the fruit of his hard work, but little did he know that he was just being foolish. John 17:2 tells us about the life which Jesus gives:

"As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him."

The moment you receive the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart, you receive life. This life is not a temporary form of life that will pass away; rather, it is eternal life. The nature of this life is such that it is sustained by growing in the knowledge of God and in the knowledge of His Word (John 17:3). May you never lose the eternal life of God that is within you in Jesus' Name.

Today, so much time and focus is placed on the acquisition of wealth and material things, but in our memory verse, the Lord Jesus Christ said that the worth of a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things that he has. Having 100 exotic cars, 100 houses spread across the world and billions in your bank account is not true life. Also, life is not to be defined by the level of physical charm or beauty that you exude, because Proverbs 31:30 says beauty is simply vanity. Beauty without the fear of God is vain, but adding the salvation of God in Christ Jesus and meekness to your physical appearance will make you truly beautiful.

In addition, power is not life. In 2 Kings 5:1, we read of Naaman who was great and powerful but a leper nonetheless. Power belongs to God and is transient. If you have power or you have attained greatness in this world, but you do not know Jesus personally, it is all vanity. That is not life! Life is also not in achievements. In Daniel 4:29-33, after a world ruler, King Nebuchadnezzar, finished boasting about his achievements, God asked him to go and eat grass in the bush for seven years. Life is not about how many academic qualifications you have acquired, nor is it about worldly wisdom; if it was, the wisest man to ever live on earth would not have called life vanity (Ecclesiastes 2:17, Ecclesiastes 9:9). What do you think is life? Have you encountered the true life?

Key Point:

A wrong perspective of life has misdirected so much of people's time, efforts and money towards things that are eternally irrelevant.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: PSALM 17-20 and TITUS 1

The National Chairman of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr Vic­tor Oye, has cautioned Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, national chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC), not to drag himself into a matter that would smear his integrity and bring him into collision with the Igbos.

Dr. Oye was reacting to a state­ment credited to the APC national chairman, where he was quoted to have said that the Igbos made a huge mistake by not voting APC in the last presidential election, and that was the reason they were excluded from strategic positions.

Oye also frowned at Odigie Oyegun’s description of APGA, as a dead party in Anambra State, because a faction of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Anambra defected to APC.

He said: “ How can APGA be dead in Anambra when it has 29 out of 30 seats in the state House of Assembly, two seats in the House of Representatives and the governorship of the state, as well as, chairmen with their counsel­ors in the 24 local governments of the states.”

He advised the APC boss to pay more attention to the hercu­lean tasks facing his party to de­liver on its electioneering prom­ises instead of dissipating energy on vanities.

Operatives of the In­spector General Of Police, Special In­telligence Response Team (SIRT) has arrested the leader of the gang behind the recent bank robbery in Agbara In­dustrial Estate, Ogun State, which led to the death of a nursing mother and a mobile police officer.

Suspected militants num­bering about 20 and dressed in military camouflage last Thurs­day held the town under seige as they raided about three banks before escaping through the waterways to the creeks.

The suspect simply identi­fied as Kelly Rotor was tracked down yesterday and arrested amid heavy shootout between detectives and three members of his gang at Sapale, Delta State. The shootout also led to the death of a police officer.

Kelly and others were said to have also participated in the Festac, Ikorodu and Lekki bank robberies in the past.

On their arrest, Sunday Sun learnt that IGP Solomon Arase in attempt to bring their reign of terror to an end drafted the special elite squad to track and arrest the suspects who have held Lagos under siege in re­cent times.

According to sources from the police, Kelly, after getting his own share of the loot trav­elled down to Sapale to attend a wedding where detectives who had been on his trail incident ar­rested him.

On realizing that the game was up, Kelly and some of his members, who were with him at the scene started shooting at the police. He was later arrested with gun injuries.

Efforts are still on to arrest the rest of the gang who are now on the run.
