This issue of illegal buildings in urban areas is getting much, in my area the taskforce waited untill the building was finished before marking it out for demolition,
it sheer incompetence on the part of the taskforce responsible.
They should engage whistle blowers to report any illegal building sites...Its simple but i trust our politicians to overrate even the least of issues.

Well said!!!

They don't even need whistle blowers... There is a master plan of the city. Regular surveys and monitoring will easily spot these illegalities at their infant stages.... These people encourage this nonsense.

All you see above are just for media hype!!! Most of those buildings will never be demolished. Lots of gratification will be received and they will stand.

Joshmodest:
Are you also saying that the number of people in markets outnumbers the religious centres ??
Or since they have not been able to control crowd in the markets we should all begin to go mad and gather about !

To your first question in bold, Yes they greatly do!!! The smallest market gatherings in the nation easily outnumber most big churches. There is no single market in this nation adhering to WHO preventive guidelines! Not a single one!!!
When you put that into real perspective, being restrictive on religious gatherings achieves absolutely nothing, and further paints a picture of bias or selective justice.

To your final point, inability or failure to control crowding in markets that meet daily, having an attendance of almost 90 percent of a given population, already and irrevocably bodes ill for everyone of us... Restricting churches and mosques changes nothing!!!

How can we fight off this virus when people with ur kind of mindset keep seeing things with a skewed mentality

Forget his mindset for a sec...

Are these precautions, especially social distancing, more pertinent in places of worship than markets and trading areas??!... If you can't achieve disease prevention in more crowded areas, what then is the whole point of unduly restricting worship centers??!

These are the issues!!!

That said, I see no reason why churches are making a fuss... These guidelines are just commonsense!!! I thought religious leaders were supposed to be intelligent.

98% of these guidelines are not being adhered to, and will never be adhered to by most worship centers across the nation.... I have gone round!!! You people are just fooling yourselves.

Oga you are talking in the rubbish! Christ has abolished fulfilled the Law and the Prophets. The wages of SIN is death, all sin, not just Rape alone. The soul that sinneth shall die, the Good book also says. Going by these, alone, everyone should be killed, not just rapists alone because sin is sin before God. Even that harmless little lie is sin that is punishable by eternal death. But God decided to show mercy, and Jesus paid the full price for all sins. So we don’t live by the laws of Moses any more, but by the Laws of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. So what should be the punishment for rape today? The punishment is jail time, not execution. How long should the jail time be? Well, that's up to the courts and legislature to decide. But if I was to suggest, then I will say, the more violent the rape act, the more repetitive the rape act (for people that enslave others for serial rapes as sex slaves) the longer the jail time. If the rapist murders the rape victim, then it is no longer a rape case only but a murder case and must be tried as such

That guy is not true believer... I doubt if he is a true Christian!!!... Must be another confused Bible scholar!!!

sonofthunder:
Everything done in excess is sin. I wonder if we truly understand the meaning of sin but I have no desire to go into that. From multiple sexual partners, to eating to love for money anything done in excess (and to the conscious or unconscious detriment of those around us) is totally wrong. We do not often see the effect now until it gets back to destroy us. This is the basic reason we have failed societies in every corner of the world. But in line with your question, this doesn't mean you should labour for loss. You must determine how to measure a fair price by doing some simple things like determining how often do you sell your product, how long the product will last for a single use, is it a year or just a month amongst other factors. Most people don't have the patience to carry out this basic activity especially when operating a monopoly. They know their customers have limited choices.

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17

People who unnecessarily inflate prices of goods and services do so out of greed!!! They know it is wrong!!!

The word of God is quite clear on this, and not subject to human reasoning (Which has become the anomaly these days):

"Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow..." (Proverbs 13:11)

A believer should know better than overcharge on goods and services especially at the economic peril of his clients or customers. This is even a worse spiritual infraction where you sell at a mark-up way higher than what your counterparts sell within the same business!!!

This is what I expect Christians to abide by. A believer who lacks contentment and is filled with avarice will end up in ruin!!!

The Word for all times!!!

This generation of believers need to be truly redeemed from the sin of idolatry... Worshiping a man or woman created and ordained by God is a very dangerous form of idol worship, and a slap on the face of the Creator!!!

It is even more abominable and punishable for the clergyman that revels and encourages such worship!!! A lot of ministers have lost their way!!! What a PITY!!!

Cleanliness is next to everything good and sensible... So, it makes sense that it should be next to godliness!!!

So, lemme address the elephant in the room yet again...

Is this man getting a different federal allocation from his counterparts in other states especially in the Southeast??!...

He can even arrest and detain Aisha and Yusuf too... Their freedom or incarceration means nothing to me or the average Nigerian... They mean absolutely nothing to us!!!

Not the tiniest fvck given!!! Next!!!

AngelicDamsel:
This is my first time of knowing him.

That's probably because he is not yet a leading black actor like:

David Oyelowo
David Ajala
John Boyega
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
Omari Hardwick
etc...

Looks a bit like the more successful actor and architect: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

So, the result suddenly became 'fake' after one full tenure... Wasn't this supposed to have been done long before he contested 4 years ago??!...

I wonder if this would be in the public discourse had there been no issue between him and the landlord of Edo state...

Anyway, that's your business!!! Good luck to Edo people!!! May your case not become like that of Kogi!!!

Oh Please... Everyone knows Satan is full homegrown Nigerian.

What are we benefiting by supporting European league?
I think let’s go to stadiums to support our soccer, our govt will c that we love our local soccer and come onboard

Our government and politicians know the average Nigerian loves football passionately... Street football all over the place, viewing centers, betting shops, etc... How many more clues do they need!!!

You don't need youths packing to horrible looking stadiums, at their own personal risks before you do what responsible and business minded leaders do...

1. Clean up and refurbish up all stadiums across the nation (mandate every state to push their main stadiums to international standard, like Akwa Ibom did).
2. Draw up programs and plans to pull in local and foreign investors into the football sector.
3. Publicize your local leagues massively, especially fixtures. Blow up the damn thing!!!
4. Put up massive attractive events in the leagues e.g organize charity games involving international stars.
5. Provide free or subsidized transportation to games, and tickets too.

Joefat:
You forget to tell him how long Dangote has been Proposed to buy ArsenalFC

Leave that guy to be living in denial... A lot of his politicians and leaders have shares and stakes in top football and sporting clubs abroad.

Most of them are not interested in sponsoring anything sports or even human related, except thuggery, cultism, and terrorism!!!... See our athletics, how terribly underfunded it is!!! Is it because of lack of moral support from the average struggling Nigerian too??!...

Joefat:
Age has been telling on Messi.. he can't even move the ball like he always do.

Messi??! You mean the man of this match by a good mile??!... Without his skills, break up play, and attacking instincts, Barca would not have even been in this game!!!...

The guy makes the most average player step up in all ramifications... You think Braithwaithe would have scored that goal without Messi's presence in that box?! Guy, say the truth... That Argentine is like fine wine!!!

zhike:
The problem with Nigerians is that they undermine anything of their own.
Nothing will ever be perfect, just offer the league support.
Learn from South African because they are supporting their local league, league attracted Multichoice to buy TV rights for R1.6 bn.
And the league is now one of the richest league.

You are not being honest... South African leaders started investing and funding sports generally, including football, long before most of their citizens got behind them...

If the leaders had been uncaring as yours here, their league would have been far worse than ours. Who no like better thing??!

If our leaders, politicians, and criminals in power want to make the national league world class, they can do so quite easily!!! But, they will rather take all the money abroad!!!

They have had decades to do the right thing, but chose to look away... What am I even arguing with you sef... Take a fvcking look at your oldest national TV station (NTA)! Is it lack of viewers that made it a global eyesore and embarrassment among TV stations??!... Bros, call a spade a spade!!!

zhike:
The Reason Nigerian league is not up to standard is because of people like you who are not watching it.

Expose the league to proper funding, increase awareness, upgrade it, make it more secure, and invite investors into it...

Do all the above like your mates all over the world, and see if viewership and fanbase won't increase accordingly.

You want to compel young learned people to leave proper entertaining football from serious nations, and watch poorly funded and organized games in the name of patriotism??! Don't make me laugh!!!

So called Anti corruption administration... From the Fire trucks to this.

They now call out billions like it's mere millions. Then their underfed idiotic sycophants will be scrambling about, looking for ways to defend this broad daylight robbery.

Jokerman:
lol...

Mallorca is bigger than Milan

Which Milan??!... Please, no rough play here!!!

Meanwhile, Takefusa Kubo is an Asian breath of fresh air to Mallorca... That was nearly a fine goal.

The god is still in form... In very fine form, I must say.

Barca is looking quite sharp, refreshed and fluid!!!

SymonLFC:
When did laliga matches makes front page.....

When the King (EPL) is indisposed, an elder statesman will have to suffice or stand in...

Horlayhemy:
We want to...,
We will...,
We are going to...
These mendacious phrases have become the base of speech of government of the day.

Without mendacity, Buhari's administration would be naked in the rain!!!

seunmsg:
Nigerian politicians are all the same. They join political party simply to use it as a vehicle to power and not because they are convinced about the ideologies and programs of the party.

Anyway, it’s good riddance to bad rubbish. He should go and continue with his wicked and heartless behavior in PDP.

Yeah... He won't really be changing parties... It will be like leaving one den of thieves to another.

Different parties, same ideologies!!!

Sigh... While most Nigerians lost almost that same amount of weight in that same period!!!

It doesn't and won't matter on election day.... There will never be a free and fair election!!!

Welcome to Edo state government house Mr. 'Pastor' Ize-Iyamu! Hopefully, you will be a better stooge to the new owner of Edo state!!!

Vyzz:
Can this people just stop talking about us





We don't like them too and we don't want them to like them....


I wish we can exchange jaimacans for them

Let every single Nigerian outside Nigeria stay away from all forms of crime, and see whether anyone will talk about you... That you condone crime and celebrate wealthy criminals doesn't mean other nations should do the same.

akaza90:
You don't have sense as if na southafrica better

Damn!!!... Who come make Ronaldo resemble Frankenstein's Monster?!... This is just too much!!!

Normally, I would go all defensive against these xenophobics, but... I have no ammunition!!! I stopped being pretentious and hypocritical a long time ago!!!

Hush Puppi and Nigeria deserve these insults, and much more!!!... I'm out!!!

I wish I cared... I honestly wish I could give a flying fvck...

Instead of Nigerians to unite at this dark hour, most of us are still being ethnic!!!... Let ghosts keep leading this failed nation!!!

Lemme go and get popcorn and suya for tonight's Barcelona game... Can't wait for EPL to resume next week. Can't come and go and kee maself for Naija matter!!!
