So what is new? Because everyone on earth is rooted in the Bible. And what will it profit you if you come from the Bible and burn in hell? What should Egypt, Israel, Philippines and many other countries do? Kill themselves of celebration because their names are mentioned in the Bible all through? The fulanis are more rooted in the Bible from ismael Abraham's son but you people termed them as terrorist why don't you people allow them because they are from the Bible

Toh, this never end?

Marcelo290:
No matter what, there is no justification for Fulani killings, this your mentality is what would make you guys worship the Hausa/Fulani forever, now tell me why the trend won't continue?

Some of you Tiv people are very myopic and brainwashed set of people, I lived in Gboko so I don't need to ask cos I have a first class knowledge of you guys, so your brother here suggested a boycott of elections, you are already insinuating Violence, what is the interrelation? most of the youths there always wait for 4 yrs so they could get little crumbs from politicians who use and dump them and the routine continues, reason you keep having bad leaders.

My advice..? Learn to stand up for what you want, stop settling for less, a revolution would indeed bring a change in your land. Stop thinking about your stomach now, think about your generations yet unborn and the grave effects of what your decisions today might cause them, again, nobody is asking for war...

As for the people above who chant "Afonja" at the slight of every discourse without making any reasonable contributions, you guys make me ashamed atimes, everyone and everything mustn't have to do with Yorubas, Live and let live. You can aswell label me an afonja but that won't take away the igbo and Anambarian in me.

you are very stupid idiot do you think boycott of elections will help? Even if that is considered evil people will use that as an opportunity to lead. Will boycott pursue fulani herdsmen out of benue? Do you think boycott will bring the desired security? We have to discipline ourselves first before anything. Because immediately a Tiv man sight a fulani man, then he thinks he is a enemy and immediately they will set him ablaze without the man causing any harm. Tiv people I know are peace loving people don't come and said what you don't know because you are living in gboko

Terkimbi01:
Are we not suffering?
Are we not being killed?

you don't understand

if we say we.won't vote because our leaders who we have voted have failed us.
two things will happen

1. they will sit up
2. they will respect those who put them to the office.

and you think violence is the only way out? Tiv people themselves are not helping matters. Last year I was in my village and when the fulani people were passing. Some boys came and took one cow from the herdsmen. When he was comforted he said it is passage fee which he took a cow worth over one hundred thousand naira. Why wouldn't a fulani man fight back?

GuyWise:
Afonja, always in a haste to defend their arewa masters.

bloody slut. Iam a real Tiv man. But the fact is that I cannot support what is not right

Senseless, so what will affect a fulani man if there is no election. Rather benue people will suffer it. No election proclamation is done by short thinking and violent individuals

Domestic violence. If a marriage can't work, divorce!!!!! See how you have cost the life of the innocent boy

Nah 30billion house be this? Op you need mental examination

Wike and Amaechi for how long will they continue fighting themselves

But how en the do them?

Built2last:
oga allow Nigerians to decide

are you a Nigerian?

Your ambition is dead on arrival. For you to be president it is better Buhari's corps should continue. I always know that attacking Buhari was for your own selfish ambition. But the brain washed were always calling you a hero

Which of these top cars do you prefer to cruise for TGIF tonight?.. The quoted prices are current estimates for those who want to buy theirs today.
GOLD Rolls-Royce Phantom II (₦165m)
Bugatti Veyron (₦790m)
Benz SLR and Lexus LFA peeping in the background
Bentley Bentayga Mansory (₦220m)
Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II (₦157m)
Aston Martin Vantage S (₦92m)

So they can have more power to squeeze Nigeria's ass. God is watching all of you

Then take a cab to hell. We Nigerians make you who you are today. You people sometimes indulge in heroine rising senseless generation. You are here bragging, Nigeria is rather ashamed of people like you

I believe it is from Ghana, looking at the number Plat of the car. Ghana is capable of anything sexually immoral

Following Fayose's. i's accusations against the former president Olusegun obasajo which make waves a couple of days ago. The former president too gave an epic reply to the comic governor

Following the publication of the timetable for the November 18, 2017 Anambra governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), there are indications that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would hold its primary to select who among the party’s 14 aspirants would pick the ticket on or around Aug 12, 2017.

Taking a cue from the INEC schedule which indicated that primaries could commence from Aug 5, 2017, the party is also set to announce the commencement of sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to the governorship aspirants.

The party has also set the cost of securing the Expression of Interest form at N500, 000, while the Nomination form was set at N5 million.

This was confirmed on Saturday by one of the key aspirants, Chief George Moghalu; who further expressed his readiness to pick his forms within the week. Besides touring the 326 electoral wards and the 21 local councils meeting with the respective executives who are the statutory delegates to the primary, the purchase, completion and return of the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms within the stipulated timeframe by each aspirant appeared to be one of the most important aspects of the gubernatorial process.

Efforts to speak with the state party chairman, Mr. Emeka Ibe yielded no positive result as his phone rang on end without response, and he did not return any of the several calls, all day long.

Also the state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Okelo Madukaife did not respond or return his calls either

Money making Christian musicians everywhere. Frank Edwards I am not surprise.

The Action Democratic Party, ADP, has revealed its plans for the 2019 elections stating that it has zoned the presidency to the North and will grant the South-East a slot for the vice presidency.
The ADP in an attempt to woo candidates and votes ahead of the general elections made this known via its South-South zonal coordinator, a former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Rowland Owie.
Senator Rowland Owie while speaking regarding the plans of the party to present candidates for the 2019 elections said that the party had concluded plans to cede its 2019 presidential ticket to the North and vice-presidential ticket to the South-East.
Owie during an interview with Vanguard said: “For 2019, we have zoned our presidential candidate to the North and our vice presidential slot to the South-East because where there is no justice, there can be no peace.”
The decision of the party however comes in line with the announcement of 12 persons by the Northern Youth Leaders’ Forum, NYLF, last month as possible replacements for the president, Muhammadu Buhari, in the 2019 elections.
Recall that the Northern Youth Leaders’ Forum, NYLF had last month released the named of 12 northerners as possible candidates for the 2019 election. The group through its leader, Comrade Elliot Afiyo, said: “We want to reiterate and clearly warn that the North will not the presidency to move to the South in 2019.”
The group further went on to list the candidates to include Senator Bala Mohammed, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki, Senator Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, Governor Ibrahim Shettina, Governor Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari, Governor Aminu Tambuwal, Senator Bukola Saraki and others.
Comrade Elliot Afiyo further added: “Out of these 12 persons screened by our Political Committee, the following were short-listed and endorsed by the NEC during our meeting in Kaduna on May 17, 2017: Senator Bala Mohammed, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki (SAN), Gov. Ibrahim Dankwambo.
“We sent the endorsed persons to our patrons and the leadership of the 42 affiliated organizations who screened and endorsed only two candidates who were considered during our meeting in June 2017 in Kano.
“Out of the two that were endorsed, that is, Senator Bala Mohammed and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Senator Bala Mohammed was finally endorsed and was also accepted by our patrons. We believe, and strongly too, that Senator Bala Mohammed is a detribalized Nigerian who does not attach sentiments of religion and ethnicity in his dealings with any citizen. He also has goodwill and acceptability both nationally and internationally. His credibility is unquestionable and his loyalty and interest of the North within the national interest is surely not in doubt…
“We want to send a message to all political parties that may field southern presidential candidates in 2019, that their actions are as good as committing political suicide.
“Our elders are also advised to steer clear of supporting any presidential candidate from the South in 2019 as we cannot afford to gamble with the presidency as we did in 2011. This is our stand point and there is no going back.”
However, to back its plans up, the ADP South-South zonal coordinator, Senator Rowland Owie added: “In 1987, it was to be the turn of the South-East to produce the president after Shehu Shagari, but it was aborted. The south-easterners have been the bedrock of development of this country, so their rights must be given to them. After the North has finished its slot and presidency returned to the South, it will go to the South-East.
“You cannot continue to deceive the Igbo. So, the truth is that we now know those who destroyed PDP, we now know those who destroyed ACN that is now APC. Certainly, even though the nation’s Constitution says that nobody can stop anybody from entering a political party, we know those to stop; so the issue of hijacking will not come up.”

The Peoples Democratic Party caucus at the House of Representatives boasted on Thursday that the party would retake the Presidency from the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2019.
It said that Wednesday’s judgment by the Supreme Court, which resolved the leadership crisis in the PDP, had set the stage for the party to begin preparations for the 2019 elections.
The members celebrated the court decision at the National Assembly shortly before the start of the day’s proceedings in plenary.
The apex court had on Wednesday, resolved the leadership tussle in favour of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee.
The jubilant members of the House, who were led by the Minority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, described the judgment as a “victory for democracy.”
Speaking for the group at a news conference attended by many of them, Ogor said, “By this turn of events, we can tell you that there is vacancy in Aso Rock.
“We are moving into Aso Rock in 2019. We earlier issued a quit notice, but now we can assure Nigerians that in 2019, PDP will move into Aso Rock.”
Ogor added that the members would quickly heal the wounds of the crisis by acknowledging that there was “no victor, no vanquished.”
He spoke more, “We congratulate members who stood firm to achieve this victory for democracy.
“We want to all appreciate the judiciary for ensuring that justice was done in this case. We have hope in our judiciary.
“For democracy to thrive, there must be virile opposition, the type the PDP will give to confront the inconsistencies of the APC in the past two years.
“For over two years, the APC has only succeeded in taking two steps forward and six steps backwards.”

Nigeria has over 250 ethnic groups. Hence, it should not surprise anyone that among these groups, there will be some strange cultural practices associated with marriage. Most times, these practices are meant to strengthen the bond of marriage and preserve its sanctity. There are the good, the bad and the ugly. In line with this, Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency, shares 4 strange Nigerian cultural practices associated with marriage in Nigeria.
1. Flogging the groom among the Fulanis
This is a festival in which an intending young Fulani groom is flogged to prove that he’s ready to take a wife. The would-be groom will be trashed and he must show no signs of pain. Otherwise, his readiness to take up the huge responsibility of marriage will not be accepted.
2. Magun (thunderbolt)
Magun is very common among the Yorubas. It is usually placed on wives by their husbands without their knowledge as a deterrent for committing adultery. And if she goes ahead with the act, her lover could end up losing his life or getting stuck while in the act.
3. Fattening room
This is practiced by people who hail from Calabar. The fattening room is a room where young women are kept and prepared for womanhood and marriage. Being fat is considered as a sign of good living.
4. Shaving the hair
A woman who just lost her Igbo husband is usually taken through some cultural rituals to prove that she played no role in the death of her husband. One of the rituals, although somewhat humiliating, is that she has to shave her hair.

Nigeria’s Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo yesterday announced that his ailing boss, President Buhari was “recuperating fast” and will return home “very soon” after he visited Buhari at the London hospital where he is being treated for an unspecified illness.

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode doesn’t believe that one bit.

Read what he just shared on Twitter:

@MBuhari is NOT better and he will NEVER return as President.His situation is pathetic and critical.@ProfOsinbajo STOP the lies!
Nigerians have a RIGHT to know the truth. Stop the cover up and show us our President! Put him in front of a camera and let him talk!

Did South Africa gain independence in 1994 or 1931? Just thinking out loud. Nice post @Op.

jesus are you serious? South Africans that suffered in the hands of France and later gained independence in 1994 please dear go and learn. Life is all about history

Morocco won their independence on 2nd March, 1956 but the current national flag was restored in 1955.
It is widely believed that the red color represents bravery while the 5 pointed star(pentagram) represents Solomon seal. The Islamic-green colored pentagram was included in the flag design under the administration of Mulay Yusuf in 1915.

4 Rwanda

The Rwandan flag was designed by Alphonse Kirimobenecyo and adopted on October 25, 2001. This was not always the original national flag. It was replaced in order to eliminate the aura of the 1994 genocide.
There are 4 different colors on the flag- Blue, 2 different shades of yellow and green. Blue represents joy and peace; yellow represents the economic potentials; the sun yellow represents enlightenment; and green represents prosperity.
As a whole, the flag upholds “national unity, respect for work, heroism, and confidence in the future” (Wikipedia).

3 Ghana

Designed by Theodosia Okoh, and adopted in 1957, the current Ghanaian flag was one of the African flags to use the Pan African colors- red, yellow, and green.
The colors arranged horizontally represents those who died for the nation’s independence; the gold/mineral resources; and the country’s natural wealth respectively. The black star which was inspired by Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line (shipping line) symbolizes African emancipation.

2 NIGERIA

The Green-white-green flag was designed by 23-year-old Nigerian studying in London, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, in 1959 and was officially raised in 1960, after the country’s independence. The green color stands for the nations immense natural endowments(resources) and white represents peace.

1 SOUTH AFRICA

The South African flag was first raised and officially adopted on April 27, 1994, after their independence and the swearing-in of Nelson Mandela. The flag was and is a sign of freedom and hope for the long over-due oppressed nation.
As a direct influence of Madiba, the horizontal Y shape in the flag represents the unity in diversity concept of the country. The South African flag also shares some details with the ACN banner

African Flags – These are not just mere pieces of cloth materials with colors and designs on them. They are the identity of every nation. They further represent one or two things about the country. Overtime some countries see the need to make some adjustments in their national flags.
The colors and symbols of many national flags carry cultural, political, and regional meanings and ideals. Most African flags bear a design, color of symbol of the fight for freedom.
National flags are respected to the core. A slight on the national flag is a slight on the entire country and the heroes whose blood earned these countries the freedom and independence they enjoy.
That is why they are saluted and displayed at institutions and during several national and international occasions.
Even when they are ripped and worn, they are not carelessly destroyed. There are step by step
guides to dispose them in a special ceremony.

Lawyer and former minister Femi Fani-Kayode feels that Nigeria has been turned into a jungle by president Buhari’s APC government. His statement is coming on the heels of a response by the first lady Aisha Buhari to a facebook post by Senator Shehu Sani.
The senator had in the post said ‘Prayer for the absent Lion King has waned;Until he’s back then they will fall over each other to be on the front row of the palace temple. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers;still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not. Now the Lion king is asleep and no other dare to confirm if he will wake up or not. Its the wish of the Hyenas that the Lion King never wakes or come back so that they can be kings. Its the Prayers of the weaker animals that the Lion King comes back to save the Kingdom from the Hyenas,the wolves and other predators
Mrs Buhari responding to the post said “‘God has answered the prayers of the weaker Animals, The Hyena’s and the Jackals will soon be sent out of the kingdom .We strongly believe in the prayers and support of the weaker animals. Long live the weaker animals, Long live Nigeria”
Reacting on twitter Fani-Kayode said “First it was “dogs and baboons”.Now it is “hyenas and jackals”. Nigeria has been turned into a jungle fit only for animals by the Buharis!”

Toh power, power, power as if it is a birthright. God would have done something to reformat somebody's head. The brains of Nigeria politicians need reformation
