Salewa97: This is a commendable initiative from the FG! Selling rice at a subsidized rate will definitely help public servants cope with the current food crisis.
The transparency measures in place are also reassuring. It's good to see the government taking steps to alleviate the burden on Nigerians. Let's hope more such initiatives follow to support the citizens!
You are an evil person! This was the same rice that was 8500 under Goodluck Jonathan available to every Nigerian. Today, in your evil party APC people now have to fill a Google form to get the rice at 40,000. Both you and APC are pure evil! And it's not even available to everyone, it's only available to civil servants.
From today. I now understand when my Hausa friends tell me that Yorubas are the most tribalistic tribe on planet earth!
I think Almighty God cursed Nigerians the moment we dumped Jonathan for APC!
EreluRoz: Even though Tonto can be crazy but these people's marriage is already in shambles and they are just saving face. How can you be in a marriage where your husband brings his oyinbo white client home and you'll have to pretend as his relative and goes to club everywhere with the oyibo concubine
You are a very useless and stupid person. Since I know you here all you do is support evil and cantankerous characters! Who told you that Churchill marriage to his awesome wife is having any problems? Abi the witch in your life will never allow you have peace? Continue supporting the asswipe Tonto Dike na there your umbilical cord dey.
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
nairavsdollars: A former member of the House of Representatives, Otunba Bosun Oladele says those who are still embittered over the outcome of the 2023 presidential election are the ones sponsoring the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest.
Speaking in an interview with TheScrutiny, Oladele who is the National Secretary of South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA’23) says many of the losers hold meetings on social media platforms where they plan evil things against President Bola Tinubu's government.
He urged the security agencies to fish out the individuals and make them face the full wrath of the law.
"It is very clear that those smarting from electoral defeat are majorly behind the protest. In fact, some of them hold spaces on X.com (formerly Twitter) from time to time to plan evil against Nigeria, Mr President and his government and it is high time the security agencies begin to profile such individuals and make them face the full wrath of the law for their incitement of others into lawlessness".
"Please don’t misinterpret me. The right to peaceful protest is legally guaranteed, however, the organisers are only about to give hoodlums the opportunity to cause anarchy and loot innocent citizens silly like it happened in Nigeria in 2020 and 2024 in Kenya".
See his stupid face! Which of the losers of 2023 election is poor and hungry? Is it Obi or Atiku or Kwankwaso? Which of them? Is it the losers of 2023 election that pushed Tinubu to remove subsidy without adequate preparation or increase the electric tariff astronomically?
Ogbadabada: A public and social affairs analyst, Pius Adebayo has said "Abel Damina is not a strange name in the ears of many Nigerians as far as the peddling of Christian heresies is concerned. He has carved for himself an unenviable niche in the world of heretic and controversial doctrines.
In a statement made available to newsmen, Adebayo stated that, "Whether such doctrines are being triggered by his sheer lack of understanding of the Scripture or inspired by some strange demonic influences remains a worrisome and intriguing subject. But more worrisome is the fate of young, immature and gullible Christians who are being swayed into the abyss of sinful and damnable compromise by his heretical and evil doctrines. For a so-called man of God to have and maintain a doctrinal stance that promotes unrestrained sin, immoral conducts, disorderliness, falsehood, duplicity and social anarchy speaks volumes of the extremely permissive and corrupt nature of his personal life".
Speaking further, he said, let us take a brief look at the history of this religious pariah. Abel Damina finished Secondary School in 1988 from Prince College, Mista-Ali, Jos, Plateau State Nigeria.
He attempted to further his education by enrolling into the College of Advanced Studies, Zaria, but soon dropped out shortly after, claiming to have received a call to Ministry.
This was soon followed by the commencement of his Ministry in the city of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, just two years after secondary school.
From the foregoing, it is clear to see that the process of his making is already compromised as he could not endure the mental and physical discipline to run a basic post-secondary educational programme.
Even his entry into ministry cost him nothing as he did not sacrifice anything valuable to answer the call – no degree certificate, no professional qualification, no occupation or career, etc.
Adebayo stressed, Today, this same drop-out has the effrontery to challenge highly revered and renowned men of God and fathers of faith who are academic giants or scholars in their own rights aside their spiritual prowess.
His unbridled and visceral tongue did not spare God’s servants like; Pastor E.A. Adeboye, a renowned mathematician with PhD in Mathematics, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, also a mathematical scholar, Bishop David Oyedepo, a qualified architect, and Dr. Paul Enenche and his wife, Dr (Mrs) Becky Enenche, both qualified medical doctors.
These are men and women who paid the price for the call of God into ministry. Ministry, to these men, is highly valued as they left behind enviable qualifications and gainful professions to do the work of God. But that is not the same for Abel Damina.
He left nothing behind, and it is obvious, he has nothing in front of him to pursue.
And since he has nothing to gain or lose, he is desperately on the loose, seeking to denigrate those who are genuinely doing the work of God with unquestionable conducts and proven track records.
His Ministerial practices have from the very beginning, been characterized by dubious fund-raising, the proceeds of which were taken by him almost immediately for personal use, and not for the church. That is, he would immediately walk away with the raised funds after the service, he could use the extremes of means, even hypnotics, if possible, to extract money from the congregants.
Adebayo narrated how, Damina once proudly told an associate that all his messages were strategically scripted to elicit giving or fundraising – that he wouldn’t preach any message that would not provoke people to give. In fact, he once told another associate that all the tithes of the church belonged to him.
But what do we have today ? The same fund-raiser-in-chief is now peddling a new doctrine that forbids the payment of tithe and other forms of giving in church and the reason for this newly minted doctrine is not far-fetched – since the fundraising and all the tithes he has been fraudulently taking from the people didn’t make him rich, no other church should take tithes from people.
But what he failed to realize is that whereas he diverted all tithes and funds raised by him on the church’s altar to his personal coffers, these other men of God, following scriptural injunctions, never had anything to do with tithes or other forms of giving in church. The standard practice is the total separation of the church from the man of God as two separate legal entities.
That makes the resources of the church not to be the same as the resources of the pastor. What is given to the church, be it tithes, offerings, sacrifices and other forms of giving, belong to the church, and not the pastor.
This is the standard scriptural practice, but Damina devoured all hook-line-and-sinker, and expected God, being a God of principle to prosper him, all the same. Since he is bankrupt of basic discipline and financial integrity to manage church’s resources, he assumes every other pastor is doing the same.
This is his mind-set because to the corrupt, everything is corrupt. He is acting like the harlot who killed her son in the Book of First Kings and wanted the surviving son of her roommate destroyed so both of them would become equal and childless. But King Solomon, being filled with the wisdom of God discerned the evil intent of the devious harlot, preserved the living child, and handed him to the rightful mother. And God is wiser than King Solomon: in the end, the heretic will always end as the ultimate loser.
Thus, Damina stepped into ministry with zero ethical foundation, zero sense of purpose, zero discipline, and zero sacrifice, just to go after people’s resources. His ministry and personal lifestyle have always been characterized with extreme level of permissiveness, disorderliness and error, hence his leaning on the absolutist grace doctrine to accommodate his moral depravity, indiscipline, avarice and recklessness.
To the gullible, unsuspecting generation of young, immature Christians, he is a hero, but deep down his hypocritical mind, he knows that he is up to nothing good but sheer falsehood, deception and double standard, with the ultimate intention to steal, to kill and to destroy lives, homes and thriving churches.
But the foundation of God stands sure, and the Lord knows those who are His – 2 Timothy 2:19. God will always stand to defend His works, and pull down all foundations and installations of falsehood, deception and evil. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
And in Mathew 3:10 Like all heretics before him, the wind of truth will eventually blow all forms of heresies into the abyss of history, and the Church of Christ will continue to march forward in triumph, and the gates of hell can never prevail against it, Adebayo stressed.
If indeed he didn't finish school and yet he is as astute and cerebral as he is then he should be roundly commended because he speaks far better and more logically with scripture than all those other pastors you mentioned. Infact comparing them, I would assumed that Abel Damina is the educated one and they are not!
So, shut the Bleep up Mr cursed public affairs analyst!
OLAADEGBU: According to Ndukuba, the decision will result in a rupture of sacramental communion between the two churches.
There's no news here. Arch I shop Ndukaba is working with the same sex team. That's why he hasn't called for a broken Communions with the Church of England. Why delay over such things. Homosexuals have already penetrated the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church.
Wisdomkosi: OPINION : Four Reasons You Should Think Before Joining The Nationwide Protest
By Wisdom Nwedene
Ahead of the planned nationwide protest scheduled to kick off on August 1st, 2024, I strongly believe that Nigerian Youth should think twice before joining the protest.
Though, there are genuine reasons for the protest but I have four strong reasons which made me to believe that this protest is not in the best interest of the country at the moment.
Below are my reasons
1. The organisers Of The Protest Are Faceless Individuals : It's crystal clear that those organising this protest are not known till now. I recommend that this type of protest should have leaders that should be calling the shots in case things go wrong. In a protest where everyone is a leader, many things can happen. The organisers should be at the forefront, leading the protesters and controlling the crowd so that things won't go wrong.
2. Thugs Can Hijack The Protest: It's very difficult to organise a peaceful protest in a country battling with bandits, criminals, hoodlums and expect things to go fine.
3. It's Still Early To Judge Tinubu’s Government : I still believe that it's too early to judge Tinubu’s Administration by leading this type of heavy protest against him. Despite that his policies are too harsh, Tinubu still needs time to address issues and bad policies of previous administrations.
4 All of us can still remember what happened during the EndSARS protest. Many lives were lost and property worth billions of Naira destroyed. How sure are we that this Nationwide won't degenerate to what happened during EndSARS protest? I think we should think twice. We can't afford to lose more lives and our national assets destroyed again just like what is happening in Kenya.
(Wisdom Nwedene is a Nigerian social media strategist, writer, journalist.)
You are a very very stupid human being to say that it's too early to judge. It's not too early to judge. Jonathan was sworn in in 2011 and by January 2012 Tinubu and Co were leading the petroleum subsidy protests. Stop decieving yourself.
Compromised UN. Is it not the same UN that Hamas terrorists have penetrated severally? How much will a few thousand dollars from Tinubu do to completely be cloud the minds of their counterparts in Nigeria!
ryloy: Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Donald Trump, 44% to 42%, after President Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
She was the lesbian dyke of a Professor who tweeted a nasty statement celebrating the death of Queen Elizabeth.
She has now brought her Jubril-brand of IPOB low effort conspiracy nut case analysis into the failed Trump asassination by stating unequivocally that the whole thing was staged.
“People dying doesn’t make the attack any less staged. Someone who thought the attack was real could’ve killed others trying to prevent harm. Also, someone could’ve shot the shooter to hide the plot,” associate professor of second language acquisition, Uju Anya, tweeted.
“Politicians kill all the time and kill many more people to steal power,” she added. “And people died behind this farce. Actual people’s lives gone for them to stage this stupid show.”
Anya currently teaches and conducts research primarily “examining race, gender, sexual, and social class identities in new language learning through the experiences of African American students,” according to her website.
“It was staged. Like a stupid Tubi movie set in the Bronx with palm trees in the background,” she added.
“They lie, and people die. That’s exactly what they do. That’s the record. Whatever ‘attack’ on him they set up to stoke his followers’ fears and sentiments, threat and persecution has now cost lives,” Anya said.
When an X user commented “someone is dead,” Anya responded, “a dead person can’t reveal the setup.”
Trump was grazed by a bullet Saturday at his Pennsylvania rally. The gunman was taken down by Trump’s Secret Service team, and Corey Comperatore, an attendee, was killed.
Anya considers herself an “antiracist” a “feminist” and an ally of the LGBT+ community, as referenced in her X account biography.
What do you expect? She is a lesbian, she calls herself an Antichrist! All because she managed to become a professor. She is one Demon possessed asshole in the US.
iwaeda: Africa’s wealthiest man Aliko Dangote said he is willing to give up ownership of his multibillion-dollar oil refinery to the state-owned energy company NNPC Limited.
The billionaire spoke as a new dispute with one of the key equity partners in the plant heats up in the latest phase of a bitter row with regulatory authorities in Nigeria.
The 650,000 barrel-per-day refinery, which came to life last year after a decade of prolonged construction, cost $19 billion, more than double the initial estimate, promising to help wean Africa’s biggest oil producer off its reliance on fuel from overseas and save up 30 per cent of the total foreign exchange spent on importing goods.
“Let them (NNPCL) buy me out and run the refinery the best way they can. They have labelled me a monopolist. That’s an incorrect and unfair allegation, but it’s OK. If they buy me out, at least, their so-called monopolist would be out of the way,” Mr Dangote told PREMIUM TIMES in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
“We have been facing fuel crisis since the 70s. This refinery can help in resolving the problem but it does appear some people are uncomfortable that I am in the picture. So I am ready to let go, let the NNPC buy me out, run the refinery.”
The multisectoral investor’s big bet on oil and gas, which he ventured into following years of relatively stress-free dominance of Nigeria’s cement, salt and sugar industries, is turning out problematic in its early days.
Set for its first roll-out of petrol to the Nigerian market in August, the mammoth plant has been operating just above half its capacity since the January start of refining operations, constrained in part by difficulties in sourcing crude from international producers.
Dangote Refinery said those companies are either demanding outrageous premiums before agreeing to supply crude or simply claiming the product is unavailable.
NNPC, once a sweetheart of the refiner before the current dispute soured relations, had delivered only 6.9 million barrels of oil to the plant as of May since last year, according to S&P Global Platts, a tracker of supply data.
nolamicautos: She’s black, I support her. I will never support racial Trump who doesn’t care about immigrants like he forgot his grandfather and mother were both immigrants from Germany and Scotland.
senatordave1: It is obaseki supporters like you that are the unschooled ones.phillip has won in court as he has been restored back as deputy gov so he has won.he will further bury obaseki when Asue will lose scandalously.appointing aides is even a non issue.obaseki your master is wandering all over Abuja looking for a pliant judge
That procured judgement will be cast aside as a complete nonsense by the appeal courts judges. Even at that the judgement have already been appealed.
And just as I said earlier, a deputy Governor is very powerless. He is not the Chief Executive. He is wasting his time and he will loose woefully at the end.
senatordave1: Oga,these are his personal staffs who are working with him.he will appoint or fire them at will.bury this matter.obaseki has lost
Show me how Obaseki has lost. I just showed you by the constitution, how limited the powers of a deputy governor is.
The Governor is the Chief Executive. He appoints all aides in the State Governorship including those of the deputy. Even during their first tenure that was followed.
But from the way you talk, I can see that you rely on beer parlor gist to make your points.
Go back to school. You lack the ability to reason properly just like most of Philip Shuaibu supporters. Most of them are illiterates like you!
senatordave1: Which law na? Because it is a norm doesn't make it a law sir
You know nothing about the laws of your land. In the Nigerian Constitution, the specific roles and powers of the Deputy Governor are outlined, but it does not explicitly mention the authority of the Deputy Governor to appoint aides independently of the Governor's approval.
The powers of the Governor and the Deputy Governor are generally defined under Chapter VI, Part II of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), particularly under Sections 176 to 191. The Governor is the Chief Executive of the state and has the executive powers, which include the power to appoint aides and other officials.
The Deputy Governor, according to Section 193(1), can only perform such functions as may be assigned to him by the Governor:
193. (1) The Governor of a State may, in his discretion, assign to the Deputy Governor or any Commissioner of the Government of the State responsibility for any business of the Government of that State, including the administration of any department of government.
Therefore, any appointment of aides by the Deputy Governor without the Governor's approval would typically not align with the constitutional provisions, as the Deputy Governor’s duties and functions are subject to delegation by the Governor.
The mans mouth stinks. I can relate. I attended a wedding where the bride did the same and later when I took muly gift to the couple and the groom bent forward to whisper something in my ear, I almost died.
Under the law it's only a Governor that can appoint aides for the deputy. So, APC is supporting this illegality because it favours them. Tell me one thing the APC accused the PDP of doing that they haven't done worse.
Sirmwill: This entire family should now be arrested for continuous public disturbance
The matter is now looking nonsensical
After stretching it unnecessarily for months
😐🙄
You are nonsensical. The case is very straightforward and as clear as noonday. A father who lost his son in mysterious circumstances is demanding a DNA to ascertain whether his grandson is indeed his. Now, bear in mind that the wife of the late son have a checkered history of adultery with several men and even lesbianism with the late sons lesbian female manager! Now what is nonsensical about this?
In a bid to starve off public attention and seek public sympathy the adulterous lesbian wife of Mohbad is focusing all her attacks on Mohbads father! Is that not a clear pointer that she has a lot of cockroaches in her cupboard?
Abeg, shift. Some of you needs to have a clear head. Too much weed and colos usually have rhia type of effects.
