It was not the slap that struck me, that Oyedepo is a charlatan and a shyster is obvious. It's the eruption in applause from the gullible congregation that I found telling about Nigerian society.

I remember a Catholic priest in Awka, Anambra State who was in the demon casting business. His MO was also 'beating' witches out of women. For some strange reason, it's mainly women who fall foul of this. Most of the congregation didn't seem to mind either.
Because women are emotional and barely violent. Chances are a man may lose it and give you upper cut if you dare slap him because he is possessed.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=827117.msg9788102#msg9788102 date=1324172611]Yes oh, they were never slapped by their parents IN NIGERIA  whle growing up.

In some really strict churches, any elder can discipline you back in the day if you step out of line and guess what- did we have the high level of fornication, nonsense and lackadasical christians who have taken over the churches today.

People who dont know their left from their right.

Imo, its far better to slap yourself before God himself slaps you but what do i know.[/quote]You are right because you know nothing. Parents discipline their kids when they do something wrong but Oyedepo slapped this little girl because she called herself a Jesus witch. How do you compare both?. Unless the girl is his out of wedlock child but I don't know who gave him the authority to abuse that girl in front of over 10,00 people. What will the slap solve for the girl assuming she is bewitched?. Will the slap deliver the girl from evil spirits?. What about cursing the girl further by telling her to go to hell?. Is that part of the healing process too?. Cunning adults like you has no place in this world because I am yet to understand why you suddenly fell in love with this sort of behavior but condemned Helen Ukpapio for using the same method to abuse Akwa Ibom kids. You are a 2 faced she devil.

DO not say I have not warned you!

ALOY EMEKA, I have called you by name. Be warned!
Shut up fool, why must you slap me spiritually?. Why are you in love with violence?. Can't you speak over me spiritually and watch it happen since your God given power to used only for cursing His children?.

I watched that scenario play out LIVE on day 2 of Shiloh 2009!

These witched and wizards came on a mission. They were given a ten count to come out and confess and receive forgiveness and deliverance. By the time Bishop Oyedepo started the count, these agents of satan came out to confess, except the little possessed girl who boldly proclaimed that she was a "witch for Jesus"

God Almighty gave a specific instruction in Exodus 22 verse 18" THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER A WITCH TO LIVE"

From God Almighty Himself! This is the basis on which Archbishop Benson Idahosa sent more than 3,000 witches who had converged on Benin City for their world conference of witches meeting to their deaths in one night. This is something that happened live in Benin and anyone who doubts it can verify the facts.

And yet someone was boldly claiming to be a "witch for Jesus". What a blasphemous statement.

If I was Bishop Oyedepo, a slap is even too small a punishment.

People here just come out and make the most silly of statements. I come from a part of the country where these witches cause maximum destruction to families. Several times, my family has been attacked by these people, including one of them who tried to use my father's life as a substitute for his own because his coven people told him his time had come.

How dare some people come out here to talk rubbish! ARE WE NOT AFRICANS TO KNOW THE OPERATIONS OF THESE PEOPLE OF THE OCCULT?

I daresay that anyone who criticises what happened in that video IS OF THE OCCULT.

Witches are evil and they are not meant to live. A roommate of mine in school who was fond of doing astral projections had to pack out of the room when a prayer session I had, blocked his spirit from returning from his astral travels for close to 16 hours. I had to release him because I did not want to be accused of homicide.

He could not stay; the environment was too hot for him. And believe me, it is time some of these ignorant posters on nairaland like the so-called Pastor Kun to start receiving spiritual slaps from heaven!

NONSENSE! angry angry angry
You are a big foool. If the lady's intention is to wield a spiritual warfare against shiloh, why not use your higher God-given power to bind her?. If you think she is becoming a nuisance, why not use security and expel her from that premises?. So if 1000 witches assemble for shiloh 2012, Oyedepo will employ US drones to demolish them instead of waging a spiritual warfare?. So what you understand from Exodus 22: 18 is to make sure witches are assaulted?. After all Elijah killed 400 prophets of Baal. Why didn't Oyedepo kill them off instead of wasting his time to deliver them?. Didn't the bible say we are fighting against spiritualities and powers and not physical humans?.
Christianity EtcRe: Slaps Giving! By Bishop David Oyedepo by aloyemeka1: 10:41pm On Dec 17, 2011
Shouldn't Oyedepo ask her what "winch for Jesus" actually means instead of assaulting her?. If Tinubu did the same to a PDP female supporter, y'all will start calling him a woman beater. Is Oyedepo not a woman-beater here?. Is that how he beats his wife at home if she annoys him?. People use phrases like that all the time. Some Christians say I have "prayer-juju" and stick it on their cars. Should their pastors assault them because of the "juju" in their claim?. Besides, shouldn't king Oyedepo rebuke the young lady instead of assaulting her?. Where did Jesus slap the devil out of someone before?. Why is he even asking them where they are from in the first place  or is witchcraft more defined according to the place of origin?

Below are the dictionary meanings of witch:
— n
1. a person, usually female, who practises or professes to practise magic or sorcery, esp black magic, or is believed to have dealings with the devil
2. an ugly or wicked old woman
3. a Wiccan priest or priestess
4. a fascinating or enchanting woman
5. short for water witch

— vb
6. ( tr ) to cause or change by or as if by witchcraft
7. a less common word for bewitch

[Old English wicca;  related to Middle Low German wicken  to conjure, Swedish vicka  to move to and fro]
What if the lady is referring to option number 4?.

That said, all you mentioned is still irrelevant to your initial insinuation so  i still do not get your point. Onitsha has no more impact on Enugu than other cities in close proximity with Enugu. Hell, even far away nothern and SW states have as much impact on Enugu as Onitsha does so the impact Onitsha has on Enugu is irrelevant and negligible. Onitsha is more of a transshipment point for Goods moving into the wider eastern region nothing more nothing less so your ramblings is still not clear.[/quote]Then your father must have wasted his hard earned millions sending you to school.

PoliticsRe: Occupy Lekki: Lekki Toll Gate Protest-update by aloyemeka1: 9:46pm On Dec 17, 2011
Why not issue free toll passes to indigenes of those areas and low income residents who can prove to the state govt that they are truly low income earners?. Others can then pay the toll if they intend to drive through that road. I don't see the reason for the state govt to borrow money and build free roads for citizens who can afford to buy high end cars like Mercedes Benz and majority of them don't pay taxes anyway.
And they should use VAT system to tax those drivers. For example a 504 driver should pay less than a Lexus driver irrespective of the age of the vehicle.

[quote author=Bandit C. link=topic=826991.msg9786640#msg9786640 date=1324153356]What an insult to people living in Enugu.

So Enugu residents cannot afford to buy things in a mall situated in their own city again. What a very s.tupid analysis you got there. So going by your logic, rational people build a mall in a different state and city (Enugu) when their target consumers live in another state and city (onitsha). Wouldn't it make sense to actually build the mall in Onitsha since they, the Onitsha people, would be the ones, through their massive ''wealth'', that ensures that the mall survives and not the 'poor'' Enugu residents?

Man are you even alright? Onitsha wealth has no iota of influence or impact on Enugu, never did and never will. We barely even see Onitsha people in Enugu. Enugu is a very self sufficient City with, i reiterate, the highest percentage of middle class in Igbo land.

I guess where you are from, people cross state borders to go shopping. Man you are really thick. If any wealth from any part of Anambra has an impact on Enugu at all, it would be Awka, since some of them frequent Enugu due to work and other family related issues.

I don't want to go there but it is high time Anambra people purge themselves of that nonsense notion that they are better than other Igbos, cause this is 2011 and not the 80's anymore. You people keep living in this appalling delusion while other Igbo states gradually but steadily surpass you people in areas that matter.

And to answer you, if an earthquake occurs in Onitsha today, Enugu wouldn't feel it one bit economically, maybe Asaba but definitely not Enugu.

Don't make me go against my fellow Igbos here and respect my City and her residents. Do not mouth off nonsense here or i would expose you.[/quote]I can't see anywhere I said that Enugu residents/people cannot afford to buy from their mall abi na Onitsha people wey dey pay their bills?. If you claim that Onitsha economy has no impact on Enugu then you must be economically blind. Even Enugu economy collapsing will also affect Onitsha economy because all those traders who come to buy merchandise from Onitsha will cease to come and unemployment rate in Onitsha will increase. Enugu on the other hand relies on tourists, indigenes as well as non indigenes who visit or decide to live there but generally, Enugu economy is more dependent on Onitsha economy than Onitsha is dependent on Enuu.

Let me give you wider examples: If Nigeria economy fails like Greece, it will affect the whole of west Africa drastically plus Cameroun and Ivoria Coast. If Lagos economy fails today, Cotonou and Lome will be first hit badly before any part of south west or Nigeria. If US economy fails, there will be worldwide impact but the effect will be felt most among countries like Canada, Mexico, China, India, Phillipines and S. Korea. That's the way economy works brother.

KnowAll:
Enugu might be poor based on the money they get from the federation account, but I don't think it is a poor city. Most Igbos who have nothing to do wtih the State Goverments live there as economic Migrant. So supporting the notion that Enugu State is poor is a fallacy. In Economic terms it is probably  the 2nd  most prosperous town in the SS and the SE after Port Harcourt.

Why was your IKemba Living in Enugu and not in Awka or Nnewi. undecided It is like saying Ondo State is Richer than Oyo State in the SW, oNDO gets more money from the federation account and even has a smaller population than Oyo State, so by your  definition Ondo is Richer than Oyo which is a complete fallacy.  undecided
Ask any banker in the SS and SE region and he/she will tell you that Onitsha is the hub of economic activities in those areas. If earthquake happens in Onitsha today, that Enugu mall may close down. Enugu is like Newark New Jersey or Connecticut counties that generates income from NY. Same goes for the SW region, if Lagos collapses, Ibadan and Abeokuta  will dry out asap. And majority of the money bags in Onitsha[60%] are Anambra indigenes unlike Aba moneybags who are equally distributed indigenes among Abia, Rivers, Imo, Anambra, Akwa Ibom,Kano and may be Enugu state.

I don't know why Nigerians love to deny that depression is a deadly disease. Some claim her death is due to remote control from village, some claim it is karma, some claim it is due to abuse by her dad/parents but nobody is ready to agree that she may have been sick from manic depression and the same way most of us deny it here may have been the same way she lived in denial. Same thing they claimed when Uche Okafor killed himself and many went as far as saying that he was too rich and had a very good job to think of killing himself. May I remind many of you that Anderson Cooper's only brother committed suicide even though he was from a super rich family. There are numerous examples of rich people who killed themselves for no reason. It is called depression my people.

Oby and Alex dated secretly for a while before getting married but they made sure to keep their relationships away from the press. It was Alex who sang and produced the sound tracks of Oby's cancer movie - Save Our Soul.

Alex 'O' Okoroigwe, who was back in the days known for his Jerry curl hairstyle is now into animation and music composition. He is the C.E.O of DigiAudioVisuals, an entertainment firm based in South Africa.

I am always baffled when ppl keep saying that Fashola has made giant strides in Lagos, mtsheuwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. In a country where mediocrity is celebrated I will say yes. The only thing I know Fashola and his ACN cohorts have done is to increase the revenue stream for the state govt. Come to VI and you 'll see the worst roads in Nigeria and that is the richest local govt we are talking about. The point about this LCC/HITECH is that, d govt is not being truthful, how on earth can put a toll on the only route in and out of a place and them slam it on them such that they have no choice. Do you Lord it over your own ppl? Let there be an audit of LCC's books and we will see that it is only an avenue for some ppl to launder public funds,  That was how a simple link bridge from ozumba to falomo bridge was built with 25billion Naira (Not sure of the figure but it is in this range),
It is only a matter of time, OCCUPY NAIJA will kick in full swing
Question 1: Do you know if Lagos state is collecting enough revenue to fix their high traffic roads or do you want Fashola to fix the roads with his preek?.
Question 2: How many people are actually paying taxes due to them in Lagos state?

Question 3: If the road has alternative routes, why protest about the toll on the new road?. Should every amenity be free?.

Suspects


Two men, Moshood Babatunde,33 , Babatunde Adebayo, 38, are currently telling an Osogbo Magistrate Court how they came about a human head found in their possession. The fresh head, according to the police, was cut off from the corpse of one Jimoh Mustapha Abefe.
The corpse was allegedly exhumed from a grave at a cemetery, belonging to Al-Birr Islamic (Doing Good) Foundation, located at Kelebe, Osogbo,Osun State.

Abefe, aged 65, was said to have been buried on October 11, 2011.
The Foundation, which was established three years ago, had been at the forefront of campaign against burial of dead ones in the house.
Members believe that evils inherent in burying dead ones at home are greater than the gains.

It was the same conviction that made members to raise money and purchased a large expanse of land at Kelebe as Muslim burial ground.
Crimewatch gathered that those who are in need of the final resting place for their loved ones, or people who died under tragic circumstances, especially, accident, drowning, among others, find solace in the burial ground.
The cemetery was considered secured until recently, when members of the Foundation started noticing signs of activities by some unscrupulous and uninvited individuals.

The Foundation’s Chairman ,Alhaji Ismail Kolade and the Secretary, Mallam Jimoh Lateef, said they were disturbed by the development, adding that it was the reason for increased surveillance at the cemetery in recent times. “We noticed that some people were disturbing the graveyard recently. We reported our findings to the police and intensified surveillance with local security and vigilance group. We also went spiritual. All these yielded positive result,” the Secretary disclosed.

YOU were at the Aso Rock Villa during thetime of General Sani Abacha, you workedwith General Oladipo Diya. How was it?

It was a most trying period because when we started, there were some misgivings after the annulled election of June 12, 1993. I remember that young officers were fed up; they wanted to pull out and go to the barracks and let civil authorities be in charge. The military was divided. I remember when they were going to appoint administrators, General Abacha asked us, the senior military officers, whether we wanted civilians to be the administrators or we wanted military officers. The debate went back and forth; eventually we said if we were taking full responsibilities for our actions, it had to be military officers. So, it was decided that military officers would be the administrators while civilians would be their deputies.


The next issue was that of MKO Abiola. He was hiding somewhere and suddenly, he went to Epetedo area where he declared himself president. Many of us didn't like that. I remember that we were at another meeting at the villa where a decision was to be taken on whether we should arrest Abiola. I can never forget that meeting. The head of state was the chairman and I was the secretary of the meeting. All the senior officers were at the meeting. Some said he should be arrested because he had committed a crime, while others said he had not committed any crime. I think it was a trying period in the military and I pray to God Almighty that the military will not venture into governance any more in this country. The camaraderie that we enjoyed, the oneness, the trust, the brother's keeper concept was destroyed. I will also plead with the civilians to be careful so that they don't give any excuse to the military authorities to say they want to have a taste of government again.


At that meeting, I told the head of state that if Abiola was arrested, some people would think that he was being punished unnecessarily. I told them that there was no way anyone who declared himself president at Epetedo could be guilty of treason because there was no way he could have seized power from Epetedo. I said since we were planning a constitutional conference, he should be left as a freeman so that he could also participate in the conference.


Less than a week after that meeting, I was out of service.


That means you were also a victim of the June 12 struggle?

In a way, yes. But as military officers, we didn't get concerned about what the civilians were doing, what we wanted was to save the name of our service and organisation. We wanted to save it from the vagaries of the political manipulation.


You travelled out of the country shortly after your retirement?

Yes, I thought discretion was the better part of valour. The situation was not quite what I expected it to be, so I went on self exile, I needed to cool off. When the heat started coming, I didn't like it and I knew worse things were going to happen, that is why I had to leave.


What informed your return to the country, when you did?

I was in London when I got a message that General Sani Abacha had died. It came like a thunderbolt. Not long after that, Baba (Obasanjo) was released from prison; he then visited London. Stella, his late wife, was the one I knew very well, we grew up together. When they got to London, Stella called me and I went to see them. We went out to dinner. When I was a Staff Officer in the Villa, Baba used to come and I was the one handling his visits when he wanted to see either General Abacha or General Diya. So, Baba also knew me. So, when we met, he was asking me why I left the country and I told him I had to take cover. We chatted and later parted.

[size=14pt]Money-making rituals: wife drags husband to court[/size]
on DECEMBER 14, 2011 · in NEWS

Toyin Owoyomi, 33, has dragged her husband, Israel, to a Grade ‘B’ Customary Court, Oshodi, Lagos, seeking dissolution of their 14-year old marriage.

Owoyomi alleged at the court that her husband, after joining politics in 2007, tried to use her for money-making rituals.

“I cannot allow my husband to kill me because I want to live and take care of my children. Since my husband joined Ekiti State politics in 2007, he has become fetish; he visits herbalists and does strange things, like buying white dishes and clay pots.

“I lost my last pregnancy because my husband massaged my belly in pretence that he wanted to know how the unborn child was doing.

“Five minutes after that I had a miscarriage which almost cost me my life. I have been having terrible dreams and revelations that my husband is up to something“, she said.

Owoyomi urged the court to grant her the custody of the two children of the union, adding that she could not continue to remain married to her husband.

Isreal, 43, denied the allegations and pleaded that the marriage should not be dissolved. He admitted that when he had a spiritual attack, he only visited a church and not an herbalist.

“Since my wife joined Mountain of Fire Church, her ways of thinking, attitude and perception about me changed negatively. She regarded me a sinner, and will never see anything good in whatever I say or do, “ he said.

The Court’s President, Alhaja A. I. Olorunimbe asked the embattled couple to maintain peace, advising Israel to seek for forgiveness from his wife before her judgement.

Olorunimbe adjourned the case till Jan. 23, next year, for further hearing. (NAN)
