ifeness:
Great work by dancing around key questions?

I lack the decorum Italo displays on this forum, that's why I stay away from many threads. Please in the name of God, don't quote me in the future, I did not and have not addressed you on this thread. Thanks and God bless.

Italo, I have to thank you for the great work you do on this forum. God bless you.

You can imagine how the almajiris and their akobata slaves feel about this report. TP, will remain you people's nightmare.

Finally, I don't see any reason why Tompolo's registered companies cannot receive government contracts. One thing we can be sure of however is that unlike what was obtainable before when these companies receive funds and dont execute the jobs, this time around, they would ensure they diligently execute.

Your double talk too much.

SLIDEwaxie:
so, this fool still lives...

Akobata Fulani, why not go kill yourself in one of your IDP camps. You will be doing mankind a great favour

look at these almajiris, improved ko, enslavement ni. Boko haram promoter aka Mr Op of this thread, keep spreading your propaganda. By the way how many monikers have you used on your own thread.

Bevista:
A state loan that was already requested and approved long before PMB became president.

The only reason why PMB is sending a request letter to the NA is because it is a foreign loan and so requires Sovereign backing. Also, it may have been included in the loan offer letter that one of the "conditions precedent to drawdown" is that the president must make the request on behalf of the state.

Una see unaself.

Another great one steps across the line of life. May God bless the family he leaves behind.

These liars are still at it

When channels TV and the owner John Momoh were collecting Amaechi's cheques did you complain?

Mogidi:
There are churches on every street in my town, but I'll forever remain a Catholic, am not sold on this born again churches with multi billionaire pastors.

That's a problem the Nigerian church must address.

Just like the missionaries who carried Christianity to Africa's most populous nation a century ago, millions of Nigeria's diaspora are doing the exact same – in reverse – with a full-bodied pentecostal version of the faith.

The roads that wind north from Lagos, Nigeria, toward the headquarters of the Winners’ Chapel mega-church are lined with unusual testaments to Nigerians’ religious fervor.

There’s the Amazing Grace Hair Salon and the No King But God Driving School, My God Is Able Furniture Makers and God’s Grace Multipurpose Hall. And wedged between these omnipotently styled businesses are the churches themselves, hundreds of them, carrying on tenaciously in a sweltering tin shack or a room balanced atop a gas station, in the parking lot of a half-finished shopping mall or perched on stilts above Lagos’s thick, viscous lagoon.

But even in a country so devout, Canaanland stands out. The headquarters of one of the most powerful churches in Africa rambles out across 10,500 acres and includes not only a massive church – the 50,000 seat Faith Tabernacle – but a fully stocked company town complete with schools and a university, a bottled water processing plant, restaurants, shops, and residential neighborhoods. Every weekend, hundreds of bus loads of Nigerians, regally coiffed in vividly patterned, tailor-made suits and dresses, pour through its gates for Sunday service.


“The next two months will be the greatest two months of your life to date,” promises David Oyedepo, the church’s leader, to the crowd at Faith Tabernacle on a recent Sunday morning. His voice booms through the packed chapel and out to an overflow area where thousands of additional worshipers sit fanning themselves on plastic chairs, attentively listening to his message of prosperity. “Your struggle has finally come to an end!”

Over the past century, no region on earth has witnessed so dramatic a transformation in its religious life as Africa. In 1910, just
9 percent of the continent’s population was Christian – today, nearly half of its 1.1 billion people are. Much of that growth can be attributed to European and American missionaries, who fanned out across the continent over the course of the 20th century with a promise to bring light to the “dark continent.”

But today, the arc of that story is beginning to move in reverse, with Africa and other regions of the so-called global south not only receiving missionaries, but increasingly leading international evangelical efforts of their own. Today, nine of the top 20 missionary-sending countries in the world are in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, according to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

Few countries illustrate those changing dynamics better than Nigeria. Forty years ago, the country had 26 million Christians. Today it counts nearly 100 million.

They are not only fervently faithful, but also intensely mobile, with some 1.2 million Nigerians currently living abroad, according to the United Nations (although some put the figure as high as 17 million). Over the past three decades, Nigerian Pentecostal mega-churches have sprung up from the shantytowns of Sierra Leone to the strip malls of Colorado Springs, Colo.

Britain’s fastest growing church is the Nigerian Redeemed Christian Church of God, and four of that country’s 10 largest churches were founded by Nigerians. In Kiev, Ukraine, a city awash in onion-domed Orthodox cathedrals, the largest Sunday service – with about 5,000 people attending – is conducted by Sunday Adelaja, a Nigerian and founder of the Pentecostal Embassy of God church.

“Traditionally churches came from the Western world, but now we are returning the kingdom back to them,” says Tope Olukole, a spokesman for Winners’ Chapel, which is also known as the Living Faith Church Worldwide. “With science, with modernization, the West has lost its debt to Christ, but in Africa the faith is still strong.”

Although Nigerians have left an imprint on most of the world’s major Christian denominations – one-quarter of the globe’s Anglicans live here, for instance – their most exported version of the faith is undoubtedly Pentecostal.

That’s exactly the kind of Christianity that Winners’ Chapel is steeped in. It’s a full-body celebration of God that regularly includes weeping and whooping, speaking in tongues, and calling demons out from the bodies of the sick.

With no central authority and a sharp focus on personal, emotional, and spiritual connection, Pentecostalism indeed seems ideally suited to a country like Nigeria, a place steeped in an entrepreneurial attitude born of decades of unreliable government. Nigerian Pentecostalism has become a torchbearer for a popular message: Join the church, and you will prosper – not just spiritually, but financially, too.

For the millions who flock to these churches worldwide – Nigerian or otherwise, and many of them looking for a fresh start – this is a welcome message.

“By the first of next year, you’ll have double what you have now,” Mr. Oyedepo tells his Canaanland audience. “Double your health, double your present impact, double your fortune.”

***

Strong faith and hopes for prosperity no doubt account for much of Nigerians’ compunction to spread the Gospel. But this is also a story that owes a great debt to the seismic social and economic changes that have seized this country – and the African continent – over the past half century.

Among the most important pieces of the puzzle is the growth of cities. On the eve of Nigeria gaining its independence from Britain in 1960, Lagos, the largest city, had a population of just over a quarter million people. Today, 20 million people live there, with 6,000 new migrants arriving every day. Nearly all of them come in search of one thing – work – and most have few social ties in the unforgiving jumble of a city.

That’s where churches come in, says Maria Frahm-Arp, a lecturer at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa who studies Pentecostal churches in Africa. Churches, she points out, provide more than spiritual fulfillment to new migrants. They are also sources of community, and in countries like Nigeria are often a far more reliable safety net than government-provided social services.

“Mega-churches often offer a great deal of social teachings – how to make it in the world – that are practically valuable to migrants,” she says. “And beyond that people are often using church networks to access jobs and build social ties in new places.”

Indeed, the numbers are telling. By 2020, sub-Saharan Africa is expected to be the world’s most rapidly urbanizing region, according to the UN. It’s also where Christianity has grown the fastest over the past 40 years. (The other most rapidly urbanizing region, Asia, ranks second.) Today, there are just six countries worldwide that have more Christians than Nigeria.

***

But if churches seem to spring up like dandelions in the cities of Lagos, Ibadan, and Abuja, the country’s evangelists are also looking further afield. Winners’ Chapel, for instance, claims membership on five continents, and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – Nigeria’s largest Pentecostal church – has adherents in more than 100 countries and says its goal is to build a church within a five-minute walk or drive of every person on earth.

It may be a startlingly ambitious prospect, but there’s a good reason the church can even entertain it: Nigerians move. A lot. Driven by decades of political turmoil and economic instability in their home country, nearly a quarter-million Nigerians now live in each of three countries – Britain, the United States, and South Africa – and other, smaller Nigerian communities are scattered around the globe.

“One of the most unrealized aspects of church history, in my opinion, is the importance of immigration in transporting the faith from one place to another,” says Warren Bird, a scholar of global mega-churches. “Many of the churches that now seem to be a mainstream part of life in America were brought here by migrants from around Europe – and that’s the same thing you’re beginning to see with Nigerians as they emigrate around the world.”

That migration of people is highly visible in cities like Johannesburg, where a stadium service led by RCCG’s leader, Enoch Adeboye, can draw thousands of worshipers, including high-profile figures such as the country’s chief justice, Mogoeng Mogoeng, who recently danced on stage at one such event. (Mr. Adeboye once described RCCG pithily: “Made in heaven, assembled in Nigeria, exported to the world.”)

Every weekend, Nigerian churches housed in industrial parks, storefronts, and primary schools draw flocks of worshipers – South Africans, Nigerians, and foreigners alike – in a seeming morning-long reprieve from South Africa’s rampant xenophobia.

But the reach of Nigerian churches goes far wider, stretching into corners of the world where the West African presence is far less obvious. Look quickly, for instance, and you might miss RCCG’s Living Faith Sanctuary (no relationship to Winners’ Chapel), wedged between a bargain housewares shop and a marijuana dispensary in a bland Colorado Springs strip mall.

But inside on an icy Sunday last December, about 70 worshipers gathered for a sermon by Pastor Michael Lipede, whose trilling “R’s” and singsong consonants betray a national origin shared by more than half of his congregants.

“You can’t separate faith from culture, so in a way churches are always going to be cultural centers,” says Charles, a Nigerian engineer who recently moved to Colorado. He was raised Roman Catholic, but converted to Pentecostalism in college. When he arrived in the US, one of the first things he did was find a Nigerian church – RCCG – in his new hometown of Raleigh, N.C.

“The church helps people stay close to Nigeria,” says Mr. Olukole, the spokesman for Winners’ Chapel in Lagos. “If you worshiped at Winners’ in Nigeria then, of course, that is your first port of call when you go abroad.”

But these churches are also making inroads into local communities as well. At Living Faith Sanctuary, about a quarter of the worshipers are locals, and Charles, who gave only his first name, says that “almost everyone” who visits the church’s small food pantry for handouts is “a white person from here.”

“The church has an obligation to be an open house of worship above all else,” Charles says, noting that in a highly religious city like Colorado Springs, potential congregants are not difficult to find.

Still the biggest audience for Nigerian churches abroad remains Nigerian migrants, attracted to a gospel of prosperity and self-realization, and it is unlikely they’ll stop coming anytime soon.

Within Nigeria, the faithful remain ever fervent. As cars pour out of Canaanland’s gates, many of them bear a church bumper sticker that reads “I’m a winner!” Next to the words is a miniature rendition of the Winners’ Chapel logo: a map of the world catching fire.

Naso, hin call dem. Empty garawa

StOla:
What is the role of Nigeria's permanent representative to the UN?

If this said public servant is not playing his/her role or is redundant owing to your expectation that such duties should be covered by the president's staff who are not permanent representatives to the UN, do you then suggest the president should sack the redundant public servant and save public funds?

Nigeria's UN rep, is not the protocol officer of the presidency. Nigeria was not absent from the pope's address, Muhammadu Buhari was.

When will this presidency accept responsibility for their actions and stop blaming everybody for their madness. You have a chief of staff, a press secretary, a private secretary to the president, a chief of protocol, yet you are still pretending not to know the time of the Pope's speech..... WHAT A HELL.

Shut up! You have nothing tangible to contribute to this thread. Maybe you skipped the place where the reason he didn't go in time was state. Read it now!



Now ask yourself "Who are the Nigerian UN mission staff? Who is to blame? Buhari? Or them?" Why didn't they brief him? Those people are so incompetent. If Buhari decides to sack those Nigerian UN mission staff when he's back to Nigeria now and appoint a competent Northerner who he trusts now, you and your fellow wailers would still wail and shout marginalisation!!

Tell your Duara dullard to go and die. The pope coming to the UN was world news for weeks, only an Islamist like your 419 president will pretend to know otherwise. lying bastardss like you, from your Islamic party want to blame someone else for your Dullard's failure. Almajiri, your lies work only with your fellow akobata slaves.

Please tell us the truth The Islamist did not want to be seen with his Holiness Pope Francis.

Muslim migrants are converting to Christianity in their droves in the hope it will greatly improve their chances of winning asylum in Germany.
Hundreds of mostly Iranian and Afghan asylum seekers have changed faiths at the evangelical Trinity Church in a leafy Berlin neighbourhood alone.
Many claim true belief prompted the move, but the decision undoubtedly boosts their chances of being granted asylum by allowing them to claim they would face persecution if sent home.

Germany expected about 2,500 refugees to arrive in the country by early afternoon today after some 20,000 came in over the weekend.
Chancellor Angela Merkel today described the influx as 'breathtaking' and said it would change the make-up of country forever.
She said: 'What we are experiencing now is something that will occupy and change our country in coming years.'
She said Germany will ensure that those who need protection receive it, but that those who stand no chance of getting asylum will have to return to their homes swiftly.

Germany pledged an extra €6billion Monday to help the record numbers of desperate refugees crossing its borders
At a bpatism, pastor Gottfried Martens asked one Iranian refugee Mohammed Ali Zonoobi: 'Will you break away from Satan and his evil deeds? 'Will you break away from Islam?'
To which he fervently replied: 'Yes.'
Martens then baptised him 'in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.'
Zonoobi, a carpenter from the Iranian city of Shiraz, arrived in Germany with his wife and two children five months ago.

Martens recognises that some convert in order to improve their chances of staying in Germany – but for the pastor motivation is unimportant.
Many, he said, are so taken by the Christian message that it changes their lives. And he estimates that only about 10 per cent of converts do not return to church after christening.
'I know there are – again and again – people coming here because they have some kind of hope regarding their asylum,' Martens said.
'I am inviting them to join us because I know that whoever comes here will not be left unchanged.'
Being Christian alone does not help an applicant – and Chancellor Angela Merkel went out of her way this week to reiterate that Islam 'belongs in Germany.'
But in Afghanistan and Iran, for example, conversion to Christianity by a Muslim could be punished by death or imprisonment and it is therefore unlikely that Germany would deport converted Iranian and Afghan refugees back home.
None will openly admit to converting in order to help their asylum chances.
To do so could result in rejection of their asylum bid and deportation as Christian converts.
Several candidates for baptism at Martens's church would not give their names out of fear of repercussions for their families back home.
Most said their decision was based on belief, but one young Iranian woman said she was convinced most people had joined the church only to improve their chances for asylum

Congregation member Vesam Heydari initially applied for asylum in Norway and converted there in 2009.
But his case was rejected because the Norwegian authorities did not believe he would be persecuted as a Christian in Iran, so he moved to Germany to seek refugee status here – and is awaiting a decision.
He criticised many of the other Iranian church members, saying they were making it much harder for 'real, persecuted Christians' like himself to get approved for asylum.
'The majority of Iranians here are not converting out of belief,' Heydari said. 'They only want to stay in Germany.'
Meanwhile, as other churches across Germany struggle with dwindling numbers of believers, Martens has seen his congregation swell from 150 just two years to more than 600 parishioners now – with a seemingly unending flow of new refugees finding the way to his congregation.
Some come from cities as far away as Rostock on the Baltic Sea, having found out by word-of-mouth that Martens not only baptises Muslims after a three-month 'crash course' in Christianity, but also helps them with asylum pleas.
Other Christian communities across Germany, among them Lutheran churches in Hannover and the Rhineland, have also reported growing numbers of Iranians converting to Christendom.
There are no exact numbers on how many Muslims have converted in Germany in recent years – and they are a tiny minority compared to the country's overall four million Muslims.
But at least for Berlin, Martens describes the number of conversions as nothing short of a 'miracle'.
And he says he has at least another 80 people – mostly refugees from Iran and a few Afghans –waiting to be baptised.
Germany is witnessing an unprecedented surge of asylum-seekers this year, with the number of migrants expected to reach 800,000 this year, a fourfold increase on last year.

Many of the new arrivals come from Muslim countries such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
While refugees from civil-war-torn Syria will almost definitely be receiving asylum status, the situation is more complicated for asylum seekers from Iran or Afghanistan, which are seen as more stable.
In recent years, roughly 40-50 percent from those two countries have been allowed to stay in the country, with many of those getting only temporary permission to remain.
Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees said it does not comment on the reasons individual applicants give when they apply for asylum, or on how many people receive refugee status in Germany based on religious persecution.
Zonoobi, who dressed all in white for his baptism on Sunday, said he had attended secret religious services in Iran ever since friends introduced him to the Bible at age 18.
He decided to flee to Germany after several Christian friends were arrested for practicing their religion.
For Zonoobi and his wife Afsaneh – who since her baptism goes by the name of Katarina – the christening marks a new beginning.
'Now we are free and can be ourselves,' she said.
'Most important, I am so happy that our children will have a good future here and can get a good education in Germany.'

Nigeria has been declared free of transmission of polio, leaving just two countries in the world where the virus is still regularly spreading: Pakistan and Afghanistan.

It's a big step towards the eradication of a disease that paralyzes children for life and that's easy to prevent with a vaccine that costs just a few cents.

The World Health Organization announcement means that polio is no longer endemic in Nigeria, which was the last country in Africa with regular, ongoing transmission of the virus.

'THEY WOULD JUST GO OUT DAY AFTER DAY AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE GETTING VACCINE INTO KIDS

"Eradicating polio will be one of the greatest achievements in human history, and have a positive impact on global health for generations to come," WHO said in a statement.

"Nigeria has brought the world one major step closer to achieving this goal and it's critical that we seize this opportunity to end polio for good and ensure future generations of children are free from this devastating disease."

Vaccine workers battled mistrust and rumors, and worked around attacks by the militant group Boko Haram, to get kids vaccinated against the paralyzing virus, said John Vertefeuille, polio incident manager for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"They would just go out day after day and make sure they were getting vaccine into kids," Vertefeuille told NBC News.

It'll be two more years before Africa is declared polio-free. The virus can lurk in the body and it can go unreported in rural areas, so it takes a few years to be certain the virus isn't popping up anywhere. But it is not being actively transmitted, WHO said.

"The outstanding commitment and efforts that got Nigeria off the endemic list must continue, to keep Africa polio-free. We must now support the efforts in Pakistan and Afghanistan so they soon join the polio-free world," said WHO director-general Dr. Margaret Chan.

WHO is part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which includes national governments, the non-profit Rotary International, the CDC, UNICEF, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They've been pushing hard to eliminate polio, which infects only humans so it could be eliminated by vaccinated, as smallpox was in 1979.

Just 41 cases of polio have been reported globally, compared to 200 cases this time last year.

"As recently as 2012, Nigeria accounted for more than half of all polio cases worldwide," the Global Polio Eradication Initiative said in a statement.

"Since then, a concerted effort by all levels of government, civil society, religious leaders and tens of thousands of dedicated health workers have resulted in Nigeria successfully stopping polio. More than 200,000 volunteers across the country repeatedly immunized more than 45 million children under the age of five years, to ensure that no child would suffer from this paralyzing disease."

War and unrest is the biggest barrier to vaccination. Rumors and fears about the vaccine also interfere. Nigerian workers had to fight rumors that the vaccine was deliberately formulated to make Muslims sterile, and one successful approach was getting a vaccine that was manufactured in Indonesia, a Muslim country.

Attacks by Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group that is fighting Nigeria's government, added to the complications.



Militants still make it very difficult to vaccinate people in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Attacks on vaccination teams make the work dangerous.

"As long as polio exists anywhere, it's a threat to children everywhere," the polio initiative group said.

Polio is the virus. Poliomyelitis is the disease caused when the virus infects the spinal cord.

It's transmitted through contaminated food and water. Most people who are infected develop no symptoms and don't even know they've got it. But in about 1 in 200 cases, the virus destroys the nerve cells that activate muscles, causing irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It can paralyze breathing muscles, too, sometimes causing death.

"AS LONG AS POLIO EXISTS ANYWHERE, IT'S A THREAT TO CHILDREN EVERYWHERE."

There are two types of vaccine, on oral and one injected. Vaccination has reduced the number of cases by 99 percent since 1988, which polio paralyzed 350,000 children a year. The last U.S. case of polio was in 1979, although many people survive with the permanent effects of the virus.

Missing just a few years of vaccination can allow the virus to come back and spread. Travelers often spread the virus.

"This is a clear example of success under very difficult circumstances. It shows we can eradicate polio if proven strategies are fully implemented," CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said in a statement.

"We are moving decisively toward ending a disease that has paralyzed tens of millions of children. In this final mile, we must remain committed to providing the resources and the support to the front lines to make this worthy goal a reality."

Syria had an outbreak of polio when the fighting there interrupted vaccination programs, and 35 kids were paralyzed by polio in 2013. Groups stepped up vaccination campaigns and there hasn't been a case reported in Syria since January 2014.

Something is seriously wrong with a man, married to a kid younger than your own children.
