obailala:Thanks 🙏, for the observation. |
tolue42:This has been my stand since 18Moses and 19Abraham. It only pains us because we are not the ones milking the treasury. |
Zonefree: |
habsydiamond:Go back and read the post again, come back and edit your comment ASAP. Thanks 🙏 you. |
Who can explain the very last sentence to me ? "It will suffer" |
Georgry:No date of the announcement? |
AfricanColumbus:So the president is the constitution himself? |
AfricanColumbus:You failed to tell us who can deem it grossly unconstitutional and who can also revoke it. You are aloting too much powers to the president. |
BluntCrazeMan:There is no executive order pronouncement, a broadcast is not same as as an executive order, both can be issued during a broadcast, but what Mr. President did yesterday was a broadcast. Even executive orders can be challenged in court. |
AfricanColumbus:But executive orders can be challenged in court. |
Copied Valentine's Day's connection with love was probably invented. As an undergraduate, on a tour of Europe, I happened to step into the church where Saint Valentine’s head was kept. The tour guide told us a (likely fictitious) story about Saint Valentine performing forbidden marriages for persecuted Christians under the Roman emperor Claudius Gothicus (possibly 269-270 AD). Valentine was then imprisoned and beheaded in Rome. His saint’s day has since become a celebration of romance. But earlier medieval accounts of Valentine’s life contain no mention of his association with love. In The Golden Legend (c. 1225) –- an enormously popular book, which is the main database of saints’ lives throughout the middle ages and beyond – I found no references to love or marriage in the story of Saint Valentine. In The Golden Legend, Valentine of Rome manages to restore the sight of an official’s daughter. As a result of this miracle he converts many to Christianity and incurring the wrath of the emperor. Valentine refuses to sacrifice to Roman idols and is imprisoned and beheaded. There is no love and there are no lovers. But to add further complication, there is yet another prominent Saint Valentine, this time of Terni, Italy. Often confused or conflated with Valentine of Rome, Valentine of Terni was a bishop and scholar. His reputation reached a man named Crato whose son had been crippled since he was three. Valentine agreed to try and cure the child on the condition that Crato converted to Christianity. Valentine succeeded in curing the boy and converted Crato, his household and many others including the local magistrate. Upon hearing of this cure, the Roman senators demanded that Valentine prays to their gods. Valentine, refusing to do so, was beheaded becoming a saint as well. The two Valentines are remarkably similar and while their cults were popular throughout Europe, it is difficult to distinguish one from another. What is intriguing about these stories is that neither connects Valentine with love. The statements of Saint Valentine conducting secret marriages seem unsupported by medieval texts. So where do we get this association between Valentine and love? Well, one short answer is the medieval poet Chaucer, who is sometimes heralded as the father of English Literature. |

During elections in Nigeria, everything comes to a halt, the government itself is short down, all the systems stop functioning, this is not good for nation like ours. This is an indication of a failed system. |
Fake a call when they start, tell the fake caller you hardly sleep since you packed in here due to ungodly noise at odd hours. Pretend as if you didn't know they are listening to you. Tell the fake caller he is an adult and should know what you mean. Tell him to stop talking and listen to what you are telling him, wait for a while and ask him if he now understand. This will solve your problem 80%. |
I personally have an Intel from an insider, that former Jigawa state governor Sule Lamido have more than 80billion in old currency stashed in a ware housese both in Dutse and his village. |
Madups:Mad-ups, your Monica speak volume. |
I hope when Imam join suit, nobody will cry foul? |
There is no ex, in my dictionary. |
The money will only be available after general elections. It's a game they are playing. |
“There is a problem. The judiciary is dying. If the court can acquit somebody and somebody else will say no, then the country is gone. It’s a coup d’etat against the judiciary. And as a man of God, I stand up to say, release him (Kanu). Do the needful,” he said. On qoute MY TAKE In as much as I want justice to be served. Namdi Kanun was not acquitted, he was discharged. Anyone who read a copy of the ruling knows this. Agein, the court ruled on something that was not the bone of litigation. It is not done. But , all the same, not because of the IPOB charlatans and low lives, but the man should be released. |
Dedicated Nigerians....... Is Peter Obi an American? |
One thing is clear in this drama: Emefiele’s election eve naira swap is as politically motivated as DSS’ plan to charge him with terrorism financing. While Emefiele was licking his wounds over botched presidential dream, he got an intel that BAT had moved “logistics” to states. Emefiele then remembered it was time Nigeria redesigned its currency. He sold the idea to the president, who approved posthaste without consulting the finance minister, economic team, National Assembly, etc. In 2012, people’s voice killed CBN’s plan to coin lower denominations. #Jaaar_Jaafar |
robinso01:Was Jonathan their brother? |
DrAkpamudehe: |
Same prophet that did not see Tinibu winning the APC primaries, same man who warned that Tinibu will be disgraced, if he didn't withdraw from the primaries, that contesting for presidency would make him lose his grip on Lagos. Tueh. I will nolonger take this man serious, this is the man, whose prophecies favoured only Atiku, a year ago. |
yashau:Is he the one that built it, or Kano state government? |
Good day everyone on this forum, please, the admins should push this to front page for me. Apart from social media adverts, do you know anyone in real life that is into affiliate marketing and is making it? I ask because millions of such adverts are all over the social media space, claiming to be mentors and coaches, I wanted to register, but I am beginning to suspect that, the millions these people claim to have made is from this registration fee they collect from people and not any sales anywhere. How come only Nigerians are into the affiliate marketing of a thing? I stand to be corrected, I have never seen an affiliate marketing advert from a non Nigerian. Please, SEUN, if you know anyone through whom you confirm this to be legitimate hustle, let me know so I can gladly join. Thanks Cc SEUN, |
panini:Is affiliate marketing also fake? |
MrCGPA:I tried campaigning for Obi while on Christmas holidays but I must confess that he is not on ground, even some retired civil servants express doubt about an Obo presidency. My advice is for us to do more off line than just keypads compaigns. |
What does Falana mean by concrete evidence? What happens to not been guilty until proven by Court? Does it mean the DSS are not under the law? If the DSS doesn't believe in court pronouncement, where they take The CBN boss to, if they finally arrest him? |
Desmond Eloit the second. |
Emiefile himself is a cabal, only that his interest is now considered to be parallel to the other of his comrades. |
