Family / Re: My Wife Insisting That Her Pastor Must officiate our child naming ceremony. by Akell(m): 10:58pm On Jul 18
BlindAngel:



We both have agreed on the name, she suggested it and i agreed, though it pains me that I wasn't the one that came up with the name fully, but we've already agreed and changing my mind right now will lead to an heavy quarrel and lot's of endless crying from her. That I'm wicked and heartless that after we've both agreed, I changed things.

You sound too simple (a weakling) for my liking. With your first post and this, you seem not to be in control of your home. More like, you're the wife. If you could compromise on important things like this, she'll continue to take you for a ride and there's NOTHING you'd be able to do about it.

Career / OPINION: Urgent Need For Men's Ministry by Akell(m): 9:16am On Jul 16
In today's society, where various ministries are being established to address specific needs and demographics, it has become imperative to create a Ministry for Men Affairs. This urgent need arises from the alarming rise in mental, emotional, and physical pressures faced by men, which have devastating consequences.

The increasing rate of suicide among able-bodied men in our society is a stark testament to this crisis. Men are often expected to embody strength and resilience, but this societal pressure can lead to suppressed emotions, mental health issues, and a sense of isolation.

A dedicated Ministry for Men's Affairs would provide a platform to:

- Address the unique challenges faced by men
- Promote mental health awareness and support
- Foster a culture of openness and vulnerability
- Develop initiatives to improve emotional well-being
- Provide resources for physical health and wellness
- Encourage positive masculinity and gender roles

By establishing this ministry, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for men to thrive, and ultimately, reduce the alarming rates of suicide and mental health issues affecting them.
Family / N1bn Divorce Battle: Super Eagles Player Takes On Uk-based Pastor by Akell(m): 3:06am On Jul 09
Super Eagles striker, Kayode Olarenwaju, has urged a Federal Capital Territory High Court to dissolve his marriage to his estranged wife, Ezinne, because it has broken down irretrievably.

The Turkey-based footballer who is also seeking custody of their children, urged the court to order a UK-based pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, to pay him N1bn in damages for the emotional trauma, financial loss, and loss of goodwill caused by his “adulterous affair” with Ezinne.

Olarenwaju and Ezinne have been engaged in a marital battle following allegations of infidelity, among other issues.

The matter took another twist when Ezinne instituted legal action against her estranged husband.

In the suit dated March 20, 2024, Ezinne accused Olarenwaju of making baseless allegations of infidelity and witchcraft against her and her mother, adding that Olarenwaju damaged her phone in the process.

She said, “Upon arriving from Turkey personally and without prior notice to his wife or children, the Respondent rained abuses on the Petitioner and her mother, making baseless accusations of infidelity and witchcraft and trying to force the Petitioner out of her matrimonial home. In the process, the Respondent smashed the Petitioner’s iPhone 15 pro-Max beyond repair.”

However, in a cross-petition marked PET/304/2024 filed on July 1, 2024, a copy of which was seen by our correspondent on Monday, the Super Eagles striker accused Ezinne of repeatedly committing adultery with the UK-based pastor and other men since their marriage in 2013.

Ezinne and the UK-based pastor are the Respondent and Co-Respondent respectively in Olarenwaju’s cross-petition.

The Super Eagles striker also claimed in his cross-petition that his estranged wife kidnapped their children, who were later rescued by the Department of State Services personnel.

He said, “Whilst the Cross Petitioner was still trying to get his facts right and phantom a means to have all the lingering issues resolved, the Respondent, under the guise of going to church on March 24, 2024, abducted the children of the marriage and absconded to an unknown location in Abuja.

The Respondent then informed his lawyer to write a petition to the DSS regarding the abduction of the children of the marriage.

“Pursuant to the aforesaid petition, the DSS was able to track the location of the Respondent and got her arrested with the children of the marriage in her hideout somewhere in Brains and Hammers Estate, Abuja. The Respondent was subsequently granted bail.”

Olanrewaju accused his estranged wife of undermining their joint business ventures.

He said, “The Cross Petitioner in his bid to have a lifetime investment in Nigeria decided sometime in 2019 to incorporate a company and indeed incorporated DE- J-S Concept Ltd. as a vehicle for his investments in Nigeria and also made the Respondent a shareholder and a director.

“ The Cross Petitioner thereafter purchased many properties from one realtor, Ugochukwu Igboanugo of Ziloc Constructions Limited, who was initially introduced to the Cross Petitioner by the Respondent and it was later discovered that the said Ugochukwu Igboanugo was an ex-lover of the Respondent.

“Unknown to the Cross Petitioner, the Respondent has connived with the said Ugochukwu Igboanugo and collected all the property documents and has been solely and personally collecting rent proceeds from the properties, expending same on her amorous relationship with the Co-Respondent to the Cross Petition.”

On why the court should grant him the custody of the children, Olarenwaju said, “The Respondent is not bothered with the educational and mental well-being and stability of the children of the marriage as the same is evident in her actions by having romantic and sex-related discussions with the Co-Respondent and other men in the presence of the children. Indeed, her absconding with the children whilst school is in session without regard to academics leaves much to be desired.”

His reliefs read, “ An order for a decree of dissolution of the marriage between the Cross-Petitioner and Respondent/Petitioner on the grounds that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.

“An order granting custody of the children of the marriage to the Cross-Petitioner with right of access to the Respondent.

“An order against the Co-Respondent for the payment of the sum of N1,000,000,000 to the Cross Petitioner for the emotional trauma, financial loss and loss of goodwill occasioned by the adulterous relationship between the Co-Respondent and the Respondent.”

The matter has been slated for hearing on September 24, 2024.

Crime / Terrorists In Hijab Attack Katsina Community by Akell(m): 2:50am On Jul 09
No fewer than 25 persons, mostly women and children, were feared kidnapped by terrorists wearing hijab at the Runka community in the Safana Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The PUNCH reports that Safana is one of the frontline local government areas ravaged by the activities of the hoodlums.

Our correspondent gathered that the hoodlums stormed the community in the late hours of Saturday in large numbers, shooting sporadically into the air to scare and intimidate the residents.

According to a community leader who spoke with The PUNCH over the phone, the hoodlums moved from house to house, taking away residents into the nearby Rugu Forest.

“One person sustained an injury during the process and was rushed to hospital for medical attention in the area,” the community leader said.

Meanwhile, the authority of the local government council, led by the chairman, Abdullahi Sani Safana, confirmed the incident to The PUNCH.

In a telephone conversation, the Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, however, said he was yet to be briefed.

“I am yet to be briefed on this incident, but, I will let you know once I am briefed, please,” Sadiq told our correspondent.

More reports from other sources pointed out that the Divisional Police Officer in the local government had deployed a team in the area to bolster security in the community and help in the rescue efforts.

According to a JTF source who volunteered information to The PUNCH, “Going by the way the operation was carried out, we have no doubt that there were strong insider dealings in the terror attack and kidnapping. I think informants are behind this attack.”

The health minister came all the way from Abuja to commission a maternity ward? A ward is just one small section of a hospital. Even from the pictures above you can see how small the ward is. Must we commission everything in Nigeria no matter how small it is? Is this not the same state where 1 MRI machine was also commissioned?

Mrtaye:

I get your point but the reality is majority channel their waste water into the gutter as it's not everyone that will afford to build soakaway for faeces and also budget another soakaway for waste water too except the person is extremely rich

Well, on the contrary, it's not for the extremely rich. This soak away is neither deep nor wide. An 8 year old can stand inside and get out without help. Anyone who could dig the big one for fecal waste should be able to dig this. I think it bothers on enlightenment and effective housing regulations.

Mrtaye:

In some areas drainages are covered and some are constructed and properly channeled.... waste water will fill up the soakaway from time to time and you have to keep calling soakaway packers

Let's face reality. How many drainages are covered in this Nigeria? If you go through my comments here, I stated that there are soak aways specifically built to accommodate kitchen and bathroom wastes. They don't get filled up because the floor isn't plastered. The water gets absorbed by the surrounding soil. This is different from the septic tank where fecal/toilet wastes goes. The floor of those ones are plastered and can get filled up. Only toilet wastes goes in there. Mind you, channelling bathroom wastes into drainages either covered or not, causes water pollution during flood.
Foreign Affairs / US Reaches Agreement With Niger To Withdraw Military Forces By September 15 by Akell(m): 1:28pm On May 20
The US has reached an agreement with Niger to withdraw its military forces from the African nation by September 15, according to the US Defense Department and the Nigerien Ministry of National Defense.

The newly agreed deadline gives the US four months to drawdown fewer than 1,000 troops who remain in the country, as well as their equipment, which includes MQ-9 Reaper drones and other assets.

But even as the deadline looms, US officials see potential for a relationship with Niger. “They want to maintain a relationship with us,” a senior defense official said, “and that relationship is certainly informed by where we’ve been with them.”

Niger’s military government announced in March that it had ended an accord with the US that allowed military personnel and civilian staff from the Department of Defense to operate in the country.

The US delegation met with Niger’s ruling military junta last week to try to reach an agreement that would allow for the secure withdrawal of US forces and for clearances for military flights. The flight clearances had been a sticking point in the sensitive negotiations needed to withdraw US forces. Until now, US troops who have left Niger took commercial flights, including as recently as last week, according to US officials. The remaining troops on the ground are tasked with drawing down US personnel and equipment still in Niger.

The Defense Department has worked with the Nigerien military for more than a decade, focusing its efforts on counterterrorism in West Africa. The US previously operated out of two base – Agadez and Niamey – that allowed the Pentagon to carry out surveillance and reconnaissance missions with drones. Now, US forces are limited to the base in the capital of Niamey, where Russian forces have already begun operating.

“Niger has been really an anchor for our counterterrorism efforts over a decade,” said the defense official, who said conversations on future cooperation are ongoing.

But what that coordination looks like is an open question, especially as the US has already begun removing some of the 1,100 military personnel operating in the country. Defense officials painted an optimistic picture of a potential future relationship with Niger given the military junta’s demand that the US withdraws its forces from the country.

The Nigerien military “did not see this as the closing of the relationship,” said a senior military official. The senior defense official and senior military official briefed reporters Sunday afternoon, following a series of meetings between US and Nigerien officials about the withdrawal.

The US delegation was led by Chris Meier, the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict. The Nigerien delegation was led by Col.-Maj. Mamane Sani Kiaou, the chief of staff of the Nigerian army.

“Both delegations confirmed the guarantees of protection and security to the American forces during their withdrawal. The delegations also established procedures to facilitate the entry and exit of U.S. personnel, including overflight and landing clearances for military flights,” the joint statement said.

The US is still evaluating what military equipment will be left in Niger. “Obviously sensitive equipment, lethal equipment, hazardous equipment – these kinds of things will be removed,” the defense official said.

Much of what the US anticipates leaving behind will not be “terribly mobile,” the official said, describing it as housing equipment and other kinds of life support.

While Russian forces have been operating at the same base from which US forces are withdrawing, the US officials said they consider it unlikely that American equipment might fall into Russian hands.

Career / How To Beat Procrastination by Akell(m): 1:08pm On May 20
Your inbox is overflowing, tasks remain unfinished, and ideas abound, yet you persistently opt for a more leisurely activity - indulging in humorous animal videos and scrolling through Netflix options. If this scenario resonates with you, and you find yourself habitually procrastinating instead of being productive, then please continue reading. By the end of this article, you will discover four practical strategies to help you overcome procrastination and regain momentum, starting today.

Procrastination is a universal experience, affecting even the most accomplished and inspirational individuals. Notable examples include the Dalai Lama, Mozart, and Leonardo da Vinci. Let us take Da Vinci as a case in point. While we marvel at the masterpiece that is the Mona Lisa, it is worth noting that it took him 16 years to complete. Da Vinci's propensity for procrastination was so renowned that one of his benefactors threatened to cut off his funding in order to prompt him to finish a commissioned work. You are, therefore, in good company. Even the most successful individuals struggle with procrastination.

I, too, am guilty of this habit, having delayed writing this very piece. I knew I needed to produce it, yet I found myself staring blankly at a wall, doing nothing. The irony of procrastinating on a post about procrastination is not lost on me.

This led me to investigate and explore the different types of procrastinators. According to UPMC, there are three primary categories:

1. Thrill Seekers: individuals who derive a sense of excitement from racing against deadlines and, therefore, procrastinate to intensify this experience.

2. Avoiders: those who delay tasks due to fear of judgment, regardless of whether their work is successful or unsuccessful.

3. Indecisive: procrastinators who postpone tasks to avoid accountability for subpar outcomes.

Upon reflection, I identify as a Thrill Seeker, as I often delay tasks until the last minute, despite knowing I have the time and resources to complete them earlier. However, this approach leads to increased stress levels, which could be mitigated by tackling tasks promptly.

This introspection led me to wonder: what drives procrastination? Research suggests that stress plays a significant role, as our brains are wired to prioritize relaxation. The limbic system and prefrontal cortex are in constant conflict, with the former controlling emotional and behavioral responses and the latter governing planning and decision-making. As the limbic system is more developed, our emotional and behavioral inclinations often take precedence, leading us to seek escape from stressful tasks[/color]. For instance, an overwhelming workload, coupled with personal worries, may prompt us to procrastinate, seeking temporary reprieve from our responsibilities.

Upon recognizing the signs of procrastination, I have found the following four strategies to be effective in overcoming it:

1. [color=#006600] Reflection
: When you catch yourself procrastinating, take a moment to reflect on the underlying reasons. Are you worried about something else? Identifying the root cause enables you to address it and get back on track. Writing down your concerns can help you confront and manage them.

2. Task segmentation: Instead of viewing a task as a whole, break it down into smaller, manageable parts. Focus on starting with the bare minimum, and schedule a small amount of time for the task. This approach can help you build momentum and increase productivity.

3. Mindful reminders: Contrary to the phrase "out of sight, out of mind," keep your tasks visible and top of mind. Use reminders and break down large tasks into smaller, actionable steps. Ask yourself, "What is the bare minimum I can do to get started?" For instance, I prioritize reading 25 minutes daily for self-improvement. To ensure I follow through, I keep the book next to my nightstand as a constant reminder.

4. Strategic breaks: If you find yourself procrastinating, acknowledge it and take a break. Allow yourself 15 minutes to relax and recharge. During this time, you may find yourself thinking about the task ahead and feeling more motivated to start.


I hope these strategies help you overcome procrastination and achieve your goals.

Yeah! I said bath water. Bathwater smells as a result of the soaps we use in bathing. Technically, the soaps make the bathwater smell.

So, Imagine 10 households on a street using all kinds of soaps to bath, how do you think their drainage system will smell like? Bro, it all be inhabitable.

But why would you?? U want to fill the soakaway before its due??

Why won't you? Are you telling me that if you live in a comfortable 3 bedroom flat, you'll wash outside? Or you have a washing machine, will you carry it outside ni abi what is it you're saying sef? Or if you live on the third floor,you'll carry your laundry down to wash? Abeg, landlords should do the needful and not stress the hel out of their tenants.

In building construction, only the toilet waste goes into the sceptic tank. Other wastes like kitchen and bathroom goes into a smaller tank. But in Nigeria, landlords will just build rubbish and make all waters go into the same sceptic tank.

Politics / Our Corruption Is People-driven - Ali Ndume by Akell(m): 10:52pm On May 15
In a jaw-dropping interview on Channels Television, senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South in the National Assembly made a stunning admission that has left Nigerians reeling in disbelief. The senator brazenly declared that corruption among politicians is merely a tiny fraction compared to other sectors, and that their brand of corruption is "people-driven" - meaning they steal public funds and share it with the people to curry favor and secure re-election.

This candid confession has sparked a firestorm of outrage and condemnation on social media, with many expressing frustration and disappointment at the blatant acknowledgment of corrupt practices by a government official. The senator's startling revelation has shed light on the systemic issues plaguing governance in Nigeria, and raises questions about the integrity of those entrusted with power.

"Steal and Share" Culture: A Recipe for Disaster

The senator's admission that politicians "steal and share with the people" is a damning indictment of the corrupt culture that pervades Nigerian politics. It suggests a systemic failure of governance, where public funds are seen as a personal slush fund for politicians to plunder and share with their cronies. This "steal and share" culture is a recipe for disaster, and has contributed to the country's stunted development and widespread poverty.

Nigerians Demand Accountability

The senator's confession has sparked a chorus of demands for accountability and transparency in governance. Nigerians are calling for an end to the corrupt culture that has held the country hostage for decades, and are demanding that politicians be held accountable for their actions.

Will this bombshell revelation mark a turning point in the fight against corruption in Nigeria? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain - Nigerians will no longer tolerate a system that perpetuates corruption and impunity. The time for change is now.

Your line of reasoning doesn't align. In the Bible, there were old and new covenants. And these two were well documented. None was removed, nothing covered. However, in the parchment you carry, there were verses that were no longer recited because Allah was alleg d to have given Mohammed new covenants. So, they stop reciting the old ones. And these old ones are not in the Quran when it was finally written.

Maybe you do not even know what abrogation meant in the first place.

What matters is their belief in God as one and the worship of the one God alone in truth!

Ok! Let me school you a bit. Arabic writing was far from perfected during the time of Muhammad, which is why there was no such thing as a written Arabic book (Any reference to an Arabic kitab, the word for “book,” was actually an oral text that was handed down through poets and reciters. It was not a written book). When initially writing the text of the Quran, letters and vowel markings were still being standardized, which led to confusion. For these reasons, what the scribes wrote were memory aids for the oral text. This is actually a fairly uncontroversial fact even among Muslim Quran scholars.

The text of the Quran was fluid during the time of Muhammad. He would recite the same verse multiple ways, saying he could do so up to seven ways. If at any point a text needed to be canceled, it could simply be abrogated and replaced with another text.

Since the text of the Quran was not seen as a written text, this caused little problem: All that was required was to stop reciting certain verses and to “forget” what had been revealed.

Why will you make blatantly false claims?

In the year 661, Sahl ibn Abī Ḥathma, Abdullah ibn Abbas, and Saʿīd ibn Saʿd ibn ʿUbāda al-Khazrajī wrote about Muhammad in various historical texts. These three writers were contemporaries of the Prophet Muhammad and played significant roles in documenting his life and teachings.

Back to the discussion. Read the passage you quoted from verse 12. Jesus was telling a parable. So, he wasn't the one sanctioning that.

Note that he's not a violent man. He's a not a rapist, he does not keep women for sex, he nebyer killed. Even if he had lived a 100 years, he could never have done any of the abominable things your prophet did.

So explain the parable. I have read the exegesis already it is war!
Even if Jesus didn't kill.
His father did!
Shebi they are one and together in Trinity?

You just said you have read the exegesis. Hat else do you want me to explain to you?

When Christians copy works of orientalists and other bigots there's no need wasting too much time on them.



Jesus didn't have time! Na just three years he used and he wasn't militarized like the Biblical Moses, Joshua, Saul, Samson, etc!

However, he still proposed war and death to his enemies!
And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’” Luke 19:27

You know what? Almost every Muslim has a Bible. Why? With the sole aim of critiquing it. All your Imams have this Holy Book.
