Abeg who understand this story? Aside from the report that a doctor with a CV was killed by hoodlums who apparently were opposed to the killing, earlier, of a native doctor by area boys, what is the relationship between the doctor and the native doctor? Did the doctor order the killing of the native doctor? Kidnapping is then mentioned, how? Was there a ransom demanded? The doctor was first abducted and gruesomely murdered, I suppose the assassins didn't want to carry out the murder act at his residence so this qualifies the kidnapping Abi? So pissed off at his death but can someone plz piece this jigsaw puzzle for me?

When have you ever read any crime report by Nigerian papers or media that makes sense?
It shows the mediocrity of most things in 9ja today.
They just blow ambiguous grammar that makes no sense. SMH.

I hope her family & handlers can nurture her talent adequately.

Home lectures to supplement her school or make up for lost school time would help.

Also acting or film tutor would help.

Congrats ma.


The poster above me smokes undiluted Oshogbo weed

He just switched to Ekiti Super-weed.

ValentineMary:
Are u sure PMB can even read I think those public speech he gives are after several hours of memorizing

Memorise ke? Hehehehe.

He uses a teleprompter.

It's like a TV screen that he reads from, that can be placed right below or around the TV camera recording the speech.

To be fair, even an erudite guy like Obama uses it sometimes.

Neverquit:
How did he reply to those messages? Is he coming home late? Or always traveling for business? Etc.

Don't be angry @ him because he's innocent until proven guilty. Also, does he lock his phone? You know your man, study him and go with your intuition.

God bless you. Married people get asked out every time.
What OP has not told us is her Hubby's response to these women.
We all face temptations daily. Resist or fall for it.

Also, is polygamy part of the Hubby's culture or religion? We often forget that and impose our own point of view on lifestyle on others.

CountDracula:
Did he promise to turn everythng to great within a year?
Being a president is not d same as being an aspirant, there were things dey didn't knw abt wen dey were campaignin, things dt cud delay their initial strategy or even alter it, if u want to hold someone to a promise atleast let dem fail d promise 1st, dis is 1/4 of his years on d "throne"... If u become president one day I wudnt hold u to a campaign promise in ur 1st year... Dats just absurd. Even God didn't create everythng in one day

Yep.
Chibok girls within 3 months, sort light within 6 months since power is not rocket science.
They campaigned on a lie & deception ticket. They should suck up even more missiles thrown at them.

We hold him onto what he promised within set time frames.

Around 900k jobs yearly. Where are the jobs for the first year?

CRUSHING THE YOKE OF IDOLATRY, PT. 3

In Jer 8:1,

1At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves: 2And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

You can see the horrible hatred in which the passage above was written against idolatry. God hates idolatry with perfect hatred. Many societies in many parts of the world have worshipped idols to their detriment. Idolatry breeds all other kinds of sins and abomination. It causes the mind to be hardened and decived. It provokes God to jealousy. More than any other thing, idolatry kindles the anger of God like nothing else. When people go into idolatry, it's like they are doing a spiritual marriage. It pollutes people and makes them slaves. Many are suffering right now because of the idols that their parents worshipped. God calls idolatry inquity and like we have been studying in this series, there is a generational dimension to idolatry. The judgment, punishment and consequences of idolatry goes to four generations. Idolatry is very destructive because it puts satan in control of man. So, idolatry is a chain that ties us to the prison of the past and until you pray from it, moving forward will be impossible.

Some people sometimes say, "Why is it when I'm praying hard, things become harder?" It's because chains become cruel when you are struggling to be free. When you are not trying to escape, no problem, but once they see that this person is likely to get out, they become more cruel.

I'm praying for someone that any chain of idolatry from your father's house. Any chain of idolatry from your mother's house, holding you in one position, making you stagnant, causing blockages, I command them to be broken now in the name of Jesus. Shout a seven-fold amen.

People who could have been winners, movers and shakers have been reduced to rags because of the chains of idolatry.

There used to be an operational aircraft in Nigeria. At the tail of that aircraft is the image of the head of an idol. The airline was called Okada.

Where is Okada today? It's gone! I knew the aircraft would have problems because of the name that was given to it. A single chain on the neck of a person can incapacitate the entire body. No wonder Apostle John would say, children, keep yourselves from idols. There is continental idolatry, national idolatry, territorial idolatry, family idolatry. There is something known as the evil power of your family idol. They represent satanic umbilical cord to tie you to the past. There is something known as the angry idols of your father's house. They are angry because they demand that you worship them and since you refuse to worship them, they harass and terrorize you. Refusal to serve them and ignorance on how to neutralise their powers has led to destructive consequences. All these local idols that we serve - that our forefathers served - there is not a good one among them. They are all fierce and resolute and have sound memory register, that is, they don't forget what you promised to give to them. If you promise to give them something and you don't bring it, they are going to ask when the time comes.

The problem with us in Africa is that while many of us are in Lagos trying to pray prayers, there is an old man or old woman somewhere in the village taking your name to the idol that you don't even know. There is an old man somewhere - you are in America or Russia - right there in your village where you come from, an old man goes to the idol and says, "you idol, I brought this sacrifice for you on behalf of all of us and the children abroad. So, through one way or the other, you are being chained!

I decree that any vow that your parents have made to any idol to cage your destiny, by the power in the blood of Jesus, let that vow break now in the name of Jesus

These idols can put a chain around your potentials and choke life out of your life!

PRAYER
Power in the Blood of Jesus, Break every Chain of idolatry in my life in the Name of Jesus . (7×)

So you mean there are no babalawos within Lagos? All those girls they mutilate and use their body parts in areas of Ogun State bordering Lagos, who use them?

The problem with Africans is faith without work. Dead on arrival.

There is also this fallacy that being a Christian means you become rich like King Solomon. Or if you're a Christian and not rich, people question your piety.

Pray, tell, how many fine linen, gold, silver, horses and carriages did Peter, Paul, Matthew, John, Bartholomew and other saints have??

People have forgotten the selflessness, scorn, long suffering, even martyrdom that are to be the lots of most Christians.

This bread & butter Christianity of nowadays has messed up people's wealth expectations.

CountDracula:
Bros I wish u wud reason deeper. For some reason nigerians expect promises to be met at once, immediately, we're over 150million, dats 150million problems... How's dat supposed to be solved in a year? I wud admit his blame game is really unecessary but dis man is workin, instead of concludin dat he has failed why not wait till he's done atleast 2-3years... I'm tired of all dis whinning and whinning. Ure not a woman. Come on!

Well, we hold people to their promises.

Why promise what you cannot deliver, with your promised time frame?

Did we force APC/Bubu to make campaign promises at gunpoint?

It does not matter what we spend forex on.

Whether tooth picks, medical treatment abroad, sending your kids to school abroad or doing wedding/birthday abroad. All are equally bad.

What matters is to generally do things at home: manufacture, education, built good hospitals.

At least GEJ built 16 universities to encourage education in 9ja.

If you stop importing toothpicks but cannot provide fuel, jobs, light or economic progress, what use is it?

Richydos:
Funny assumption.... So by the time u sit inside an exam hall for an examination of 4hrs n u have spent 1hr doing nothing but thinking or maybe counting cobwebs around " u are doomed to fail"
There's a simple adage which u will agree with me "he who fails to plan, plan to fail"
BUHARI HAS PAINSTAKINGLY WANTED TO BE D PRESIDENT FOR A LONGER TIME N THUS WE ALL EXPECT HIM TO BE A GREAT VISIONARY WHO IS MEANT TO PROFER SOLUTIONS N NOT 1 WHO WILL BE THINKING N ACTING GULLIBLE
BACK TO U.... B4 U GET TO THE EXAM HALL U GET PREPARED, U DON'T NEED A MAXIMUM OF 1HR TO BE THINKING OF POSSIBLE ANSWERS FOR AN EXAM OF 4HRS...GOSH U DISGUST ME WITH THAT THINKING OF URS

Abeg spare my poor ribs. Nor go crack them jor.

Kikikikiki!

Achievement without development.

What kind of development is that without light, fuel, jobs, food security, crime everywhere, accidents increasing on roads, kidnapping & Fulani herdsmen killing anyhow, foreign airlines leaving, banks and others sacking staff anyhow?

Our politicians don't understand the social contract that is the basis of governance.

As for national image, hahahahaha.

So being officially branded a fantastically corrupt country is now the new way to hype a country's image?

Haba! These APC people nor go wunjure person with laugh o.

EreluY:
Thanks for telling me what I already know. The point I am making here is that the so called pastors of this generation prefer to be based in socio-economically buoyant and ethno-politically cosy environments (e.g. London, Birmingham, etc, where as a matter of fact, Christianity amongst the White-British is in monumental decline), rather than evangelising and ministering in harsh environments such as I mentioned earlier.

I completely get your point. I generally write for the benefit of all, we have many jambites here, you know.

What wonders me about our pastors in cosy environments is that they hardly succeed in converting whites. They need Jesus far more now.
But they have a good living standard, so Jesus is not their hope.

In my protestant church, only about 10% of the congregation are white. The church would have closed down if not for Afro-Caribbean

EreluY:
Not that I believe in any of those trash in the Bible. However, during the Great Commision when Jesus sent out his disciples he said "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." That includes places like Maiduguri and Afghanistan. More importantly, the Bible says "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet." This Pastor should shake the dust of London off his feet and take the good news to the Afghans,the Somalis, [b]Ethiopians, etc.[/b]

Count Ethiopia out. It is the oldest Christian country (with biblical evidence) still existing in the world. Armenia claims first but no written evidence until centuries later). So Ethiopia is first,

At the time of Prophet Mohammed, The Christian King of Ethiopia saved many Mohamed's followers because they (Mohammed's followers) professed that Jesus was a prophet & Mary was a blessed woman. Official State religion of Ethiopia since 330 AD. The Eunuch baptised by Philip took christianity back home to Ethiopia

Afghanistan will be very appropriate for them to go.

manny4life:
I hate double standards, I am in no way supporting Arik, but the so-called expatriates making it seem like Nigeria or the airlines is in "pits" is very uncalled for. I have seen worse on United/Delta airlines, so what makes this any different? Please, as much as we like to condemn, let's take a moment to look at who's condemning us.

I don't want to support mediocrity but I have been appalled by the aeroplanes some popular foreign airlines use on Lagos route. Not much cleaner than this pic here.

I always wondered if they ever use such planes on, London-Chicago, Istanbul-Dubai, Paris-New York or Frankfurt-Tokyo and other non-African routes. From experience, I have never seen such.

ogochukwu247:
Op sorry to say, ur mother is wicked!!

My sis is 34yrs now ooo..

Wat am I saying ur mum should have be able to show u off that u are her first fruit!!

Imagine if ur father want to meet you, he would hav come since bro!!

Gbam! You just said what most are not willing to say. The pain a mum goes through to bear a child is enough to love the child unconditionally.
Even the Ese Orurus & Chibok girls of this world still love their kids.

Although one appreciates her trauma at the time.

But How true is it that the dad's family are aware? I narrated a late friend's kid's case in my previous post on this thread.

Fb & other SM platforms are awash with people seeking their dads. The common denominator is that their mum lied to them. Hid letters from their dads, some were letters sent over a period of 10 to 20 years.

The truth often comes out after the woman dies. They open her bag or drawer and see like 50 letters from kid's dad sent around 20-40 years ago. But hidden from the kid. But some women just destroy the letters & kids never find out even after her death.

buoye1:
I don't have to type any thing again you just did all what was on my mind...

Mr... Get rich/successful and see the wonders of how both your mum and Dad will Search everywhere for you ....Good luck bro

Dude, money is not everything. His feeling is very natural. He has missed the love of his parents, their rushing back when he's rich won't plug that hole.

In the African setting, a man belongs to his dad's home. No matter who brought him up. A big part of his identity is missing.

Let me relate what happened a while ago. A friend of mine died about two years back. He had a baby with his ex-wife. Things didn't work out and the woman sought divorce. Even though it was the lady who shamefully messed up big time.

Despite his enormous heartbreak, he sought to be there for the child. But the Western lady (this is in diaspora) frustrated all his efforts and kept the kid away. She even fabricated domestic violence to keep him away. But Caucasian neighbours in flats around them said they never heard raised voices in their flat over the years, let alone violence. They all said my friend was a real gentleman. She kept fabricating things.

I think she was & is determined to ensure her child never finds out about her shameful/scandalous behaviour while still married to the dad.

Then work took my friend to another country. Over time, the guy just hoped the ex will change her mind and allow contact. But no way.

I was at an event a few weeks ago and bumped into this lady. I was shocked to hear that she never heard that her ex had died. Or that he had moved to another country to work for years. Let alone that he had a wife and kids after remarrying.

I stopped asking my friend about 5 years after the divorce because each time I did, he felt very sad about the divorce and bad experience.

Now, my worry is what kind of lies has she been feeding that child? How will the child now be seeing African men?

The child probably believes the dad is right there in same city & never cares. Even though he moved abroad a decade ago & and is over 2 years dead. Would she even tell the child that the dad is dead?

How will this affect the child now entering the teenage years? And even as a grown up?

Note: I deliberately used "the" instead of him or her to ensure some anonymity for the child.

Fact is both sides are playing games these days. Though girls now play more than men. Especially that 21-26 age group. Before parent start pushing them to bring husband.

Quite often,most guys know girls are playing but pretend not to.

When that happens, most guys start putting their eggs in different baskets too.

Good day. I m a 1st class graduate of Applied Mathematics from University of Benin. I m 27. See my certificate below.
Please HELP

Dude, no offer as a graduate assistant? Go online and search for scholarship offers from foreign governments. British,Canadian, German, American, Swedish, etc. Check commonwealth scholarships. Check embassy Web pages. That is if you lean towards academia. otherwise send speculative applications or CV's to big accounting/auditing firms like PWC, Etc. Good luck.

Saintly ministers indeed.

Hahahahahaha.

Mayflowa:
I feel same way today as I felt in 2012 when the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi condemn subsidy regime. He made so many prophesies that we face in today Nigeria. Prophesies that can give TB Joshua a run for his money! Listen:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7QDjzTTrag

He served under GEJ, so nobody will push your post forward.

If it was his outrageous allegation of corruption against GEJ govt (not saying there was no corruption as usual in 9ja), FP straight.

People cannot face up to their mistake in voting in Bubu.

Rossikk:
There is no difference between the two. It is only in Nigeria that people make that distinction, due to ignorance and inferiority complex. If you go abroad and ask if a car was "either" made "or" assembled, they'll refer you to a psychiatrist.

Lol. Batteries, tyres, plugs, windscreens, cables, lamps and many other car parts are made by separate companies. Dunlop, Pirelli, Michelin, Siemens, GE and other smaller firms make various car parts.

Even companies like Boeing, Airbus, Embraer get aeroplane engines from Rolls Royce, GE and others.

Who makes everything by themselves these days?

Kudos to him.

Sometimes you wonder if mankind/womankind is going forward or backward.

Women used to dress decently. in fact it was men's trousers that were tight at some point.

Now, the once respected female body parts are right in your face.

Bum, boobs, thighs, waist, all popping out like ground fresh cassava from a torn sack. Haba!

NOETHNICITY:
But the whole Nigeria media portrayed the issue as if she was bundled to the north and forcefully converted and impregnated!

The question is: Is it legal in Bayelsa State to take a minor from her home without her parents consent and marry her?
Is it legal for an over 18 to have intercourse with a minor in Bayelsa State?

From a legal point of view, doing certain things with or to a minor is automatically illegal since by law, a minor does not have the capacity/ability/maturity to consent or say yes. So the grown up involved automatically commits a crime.

I think the problem is some people want to force their religious/cultural belief or practice on others.

They forget that we're in secular nation, and religious and cultural beliefs must comply with secular laws.

Lucky babe. Thank God.

This na cobra na. Very prolific and gets quite big in West Africa.

Black mamba is more dangerous BUT both are deadly.
