Just like a fairy tale, a 25-year-old man, Mr. Chiadi Ezeibekwe, said he impregnated his 17-year-old younger sister. As if that was not enough, he wedded her at a church at their Agba village in Ekwulobia, Anambra State. Agba youths, who saw the marriage as “an abomination,” burnt down the church where the wedding was consummated.

It was learnt that the wedding was conducted by Chiadi’s elder brother, Mr. Chijioke Ezeibekwe, a Shepherd of Dwelling Fullness of God Church, Agba. Chiadi quoted Deuteronomy 36: 6, which, according to him, permits marriage between brothers and sisters of the same parents.

However, a member of the church, who spoke on condition of anonymity, countered that. He referred the brothers to Leviticus 18:9, which clearly speaks against marriage between brother and sister.

A source noted that immediately their eldest brother, Mr. Emeka Ezeibekwe, heard of the “incestuous marriage,” he alerted the clan head, who summoned the family to an emergency meeting. When their father, popularly, known as “Luisco,” was contacted for comments, he said that his concern was a way out of the situation, since according to him, “what has happened, has happened’’.

Addressing the crowd which gathered on their premises, their mother claimed that his son’s action was biblical, saying Chiadi paid her the bride price. Further enquiries showed that Chiadi and some members of the family were baptised into the Adventist Church after leaving their former church in August 2016.

“Since they were baptised into the church, they have been engaged in weird and rebellious behaviour as well as false teachings,’’ said Mr. Onyeka, a member of the Adventist Church in Ekwulobia.

“Because of their rebellious attitude and false teachings, the Seventh Day Adventist Church expelled them since May 2017.

Not long after that, Mr. Chijioke Ezeibekwe started his own church,” Onyeka added. It was also learnt that their grandmother passed away a few days after she found out about the marriage. The Igwe-in-Cabinet had since summoned the family for interrogation.

From which Bible is Deut 36?

I have discovered that certain motor parks in Lagos seem to be optimised for a particular or chain of similar route destinations. Which park do you think is the best to join car/bus/minivan i.e. sienna and the likes to Abuja or up north?

Thanks for your valuable insights.

Which stockbroker do you use?

I have a practical question for posters:
Assuming I am able to save 20,000 monthly from my salary, how can I invest this?

Take a life assurance policy. Fortunately only one pperson mentioned life assurance throughout this thread. It shows how oblivious people are about investment in life assurance policies. For those who care to know
(1) Life assurance helps all class of income earners build their funds over time by making periodic payments. So you don't have to worry about a mirrage that if U̶̲̥̅̊ don't have hundreds of thousand,U̶̲̥̅̊ can't invest!
(2) It is safe and secure and it appreciates as it gives returns on investment
(3) Life assurance, as the name implies, provides additional cover on ur life with ur investment at ABSOLUTELY no extra cost; and,
(4) There are various investment products in life assurance that suits every income earner, N̶̲̥̅̊o matter how small or large
+
It provides short, medium and long term investment plans.
One unmatched advantage of life assurance is that it provides up to 40% tax reduction! Whatever income Y̶̲̥̅̊o̶̲̥̅̊и̣̣̣̣̥ get from investment in Life assurance is also tax free. Go to the nearest tax office (state or federal) to confirm this.
Above all, it provides you the chance to put away part of ur income periodically till it matures. Once it matures, you get full maturity benefit on your investment.

@soldierAnt
Different investment windows offer varying degrees of benefit and exposure to risks as well.
However, a balance portfolio is such that you have interest in almost every viable investment opportunities. Having a balance investment portfolio has the merits of
(1) Maintaining your financial balance if any of the windows experience turbulence
(2) A loss in one investment can be easily covered and buffered by appreciable growth in the other investments.

Is this "e-passport" different from the regular passport which takes weeks to get?

@ eddy2008

Thumbs up for your post. This has come at the right time in light of the fact that many people do not know how to write a standard cv not to talk of personal branding. but unfortunately, the links to the sample cvs do not open at all. Incidentally I live in Ikeja, how can I meet you personally to see some of your templates? I live on Unity Road (Off Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way). Thanks

Iyke-D:

This is a complete waste of money and definitely a misplaced priority. I guess someone was asked to devise
a brand new project that is yet to be done in Nigeria at least on that scale, and bam here you go!  Watch,
how other states will be following suit.  The "people" behind this has "hammered" to put it nicely.

There are rarely any shortcuts in life.  Somehow our leaders think they can magically scale over the endless
basic problems that is afflicting our societies to implement projects that brings us up to par with the advanced
nations.  We are wasting our time as a people until our leaders learn that you can't skip something as basic
as building roads.  I mean, if you can't even build or maintain ordinary roads what other meaningful project
can you implement SUCCESSFULLY?  I have not even mentioned power? Nevermind.

The question is how do they plan to respond to the nice pictures that are going to be streaming live from all
parts of Lagos to this command center?  Just sit there and enjoy it? Even if the cameras are solar powered,
is the command center solar powered too?  What about fuel for the RRS or are their vehicles solar powered
too?  Do the RRS have their own special roads that they travel on during emergencies or will the emergencies
be scheduled?

People, its not about ego or knocking anything Nigeria, but there is a reason while humans crawl, walk, and
then run in that order.  Not sure I know of anyone who went straight from crawling to running!  By the way
have they recovered that satellite in space yet?

B.O.S.S.:

@ fyneguy

I personally feel the biggest task facing any Nigerian governor is poverty alleviation (Fashola inclusive). Before he thinks of modernising Lagos State, he should think of how these people would be able to have their meal ticket. Even in all western companies, prioritise health and safety before anything else.

Our hospitals are ill-equipped, the roads are as bad, the ghettos all over Lagos need to be cleaned up, the issue of electricity needs to be dealt with as well as clean water. These should come before CCTV. Of course if I were Fashola, I would be more bothered about these things than installing CCTVs and planting flowers all over Lagos.

These issues demand urgent attention and a clean environment with good access to basic amenities is conducive and in turn would be help the citizens groom their business properly and in turn, you could afford to feed your family. Public schools are in a mess. Transportation is nothing to write home about. Working for 8hours daily and travelling for 4hours daily, Is it really worth it?

I hope Fashola's advisors are not just looking for a quick bonus or is this just a cheap PR stunt?

In America or England, where they have cctvs all over the place? Are people not also hungry in these parts of the world, despite their very sophisticated economies?

What you guys are forgetting is that there are ministries and government agencies that handle stuff like that. Their respective allocations can definitely not be transferred to poverty alleviation programs? The ministry for environment for example, i guess is for making the environment better and not economic policies or programs. Flowering the state is definitely one of the ways of carrying out their specialized duty.

@dakmanzero to your question, one of the reasons must supersede the others, and that will be the only reason why she does not want him. Final

I have been using my cell phone for nairaland for quite some time now but  don't understand why it is restricted to few boards i.e. Technology, entertainment etc. But others like travel, religion and some others cannot be accessed via wap! Is this as a result of restricted capacity on the side of my phone or from nairaland? I use sagem phone and have been using the vactive for over six months now
I need to know.

Seun, where were those pictures taken?
what we in Ijebu Ode area of ogun witnessed was partial eclipse, but afterwards the sun was so crystal clear that it seemed like the sky was brightened by Halogen

Can someone here help with themajor festivals in igbo land and post me their details?

So what happens to all the prospective students who have already entered one of the various courses into the universities where accreditation was denied. Let's take my sister as a case study, she entered law as her course of choice in the UI, and Law for Unilag as her choice number 2 in this forthcoming JAMB Exams 2006/7. Unilag allegedly does not like to be chosen as a second school of choice (am I right? if not let me know). What can she do about this? Pls she needs help as soon as possible. Let me include that she has already submitted the form

There is a very clear-cut distinction between fate and destiny. It's just that people find it difficult to understand. Your destiny is in God's hands and your fate is in your hands. Your dsetiny has been pre-detremined by God. Fate is the route you take  there and what happens afterwards as a result of your actions. Let me bring forward premises to back my argument.

1. Mr Jack has been destined to be rich - Destiny
2. He worked hard for his riches and dies honourably- Fate 1, or
3. He opted for rituals (blood money) to get rich and dies mysteriously - Fate 2, or
4. He opted for dirty business ranging from stealing to 419ing and was sentenced to death by hanging - Fate 3.

From the above premises, it will be noted that God's pre-determined will for him is to be rich which is his destiny( premise 1). It is now left for him to decide which route to take to his richies which brings him fate (premises 2,3, or 4). The aftermath (consequences) of the route to his richies is also his fate. It is his fate because he diecided that for himself. What God does is choose a destiny for you which is to be rich, its now left for you to choose your way to riches and that is your fate.

In a nutshell,  nferyn understands this better than I do and he has explained it in a simplistic way.
What God has pre0-determined for you is your destiny
The results of your own action - positive or negative - is your fate.
Nobody can change or influence destiny, you can infleunce your fate by your actions.
I rest my argument.

This is yet another typical African school of thought. The only people you cannot marry are your sisters, mother and daugthers. All others are nature's free gift. Go ahead joo. But if you personally think it is not right then put a halt to it. This may be an abomination in the tradition of your family, if so then stop it. My friend if notin dey as obstacle then continue the relationship and I wish you the best of luck.

Seun where is the "I don't care" option that's been added to the poll? Because that's my own answer and I can't find it. Raised at home or else where is not the point, what matters most is her own personal qualities as a woman and what makes her an ideal wife material.

The same reason as it has always been..... to curb spendings
They Brake up [i][/i]rather than break up to continue after the festive seasons. A treat @ TFC will surely glue back the relationship. That's all. Next december again yet another brake
