Reno the sophist with his specious and manipulative writeups. It really takes a discerning mind to identify the lies and erroneous teachings he is trying to push with some other truths and opinion.

1. It is erroneous and mischievous to claim the whites came to swap the European Bible for our ancestral lands without any supporting evidence. How? We still have our land in Africa as well as sovereignty till today and have not fared better.

2. Saying the Europeans brought us adulterated Christianity is one of the worst lies Reno ever pushed. The whites who came for commerce came for commerce. Those who came with Christianity as missionaries came to save souls at great risks and discomfort to their lives with such selflessness I have never seen demonstrated even by Africans to fellow Africans. Indeed some lost their lives. How many of our supposed founding fathers and heroes past that we sing about in the national Anthem got their education and start in life from the schools established by these missionaries? Anyone trying to smear such history of genuine love should be hung by the balls.

3. Christianity as handed over by Christ didn't support polygamy and it is clear in the Bible for all to see. The Bible also is clear on its position against homosexuality. Reno's attempts to bend things to support his own polygamous situation which he has repeatedly lied about on social media shows a dangerous man who is not a genuine Christian at heart! A selfish man who does not mind leading other astray to satify his personal cravings.

Anybody reading or listening to Reno should always do so guardedly because he is a smooth devil not worthy f of the tag of a Pastor.

Twitter will open an office in Nigeria and employ Nigerians. Twitter will pay taxes to the FG from income generated in Nigeria. Twitter will comply with Nigeria’s law as it relates to content that promotes national peace and unity only. Divisive contents the type of which led to the Endsars destruction will no longer be tolerated.

So, how’s this not a win for Nigeria?

We like to fool ourselves in Nigeria. How many of our politicians genuinely act in the interest of the country? Elections are coming and we know why Twitter ban was suddenly lifted. Forget about all these "Twitter will will will" talk.

Our politicians have been known to orchestrate the release of incarcerated thugs towards election time for election duties. We know their antecedents.

Go and sin no more

That Twitter release on the restoration of access in Nigeria doesn't look like an apology to me. So who is the sinner and the saint?

fasho01:
Now they want to use this to score cheap political points. Won't be surprised that this will be a major campaign point for the apc in the next election

They want to campaign on social media for the coming elections and Twitter is one of the major tools. Unfortunately they have an uphill task because they have frittered away their goodwill with the people.

“Another problem we have noticed is that despite the remarkable zeal of our troops, they lack modern equipment with which to prosecute modern warfare. Prosecution of modern warfare depends largely on modern war equipment and gadgets. It is very vital for these modern war instruments to be provided to our troops if we are to win this fight against banditry in Zamfara and the North West”

This is a serious indictment against the Nigerian Army leadership. Despite hundreds of billions of naira spent in fighting Boko Haram, our military forces are still fighting with outdated weapons!

Im not even sure a Governor has any control over a Commissioner Of Police

The 1999 Constitution Section 215(4) states that "Subject to the provisions of this Section, the Governor of a State or Commissioner of the Government of the State as he may authorise in that behalf, may give to the Commissioner of Police of that State such lawful directions with respect to the maintenance and securing of public safety and public order within the State as he may consider necessary, and the Commissioner of Police shall comply with those directions or cause them to be complied with."

In view of the above, a Commissioner of Police is bound to obey the directives of a Governor as long as it does not go beyond the limits of the Executive Powers of the Governor as specified in Section 5(3) subsection 2 of the Constitution. In this regard the CP is therefore required to get approval from the IGP who may or may not overrule the Governor because the IGP represents the President who is the Chief Security Officer of the entire country.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/01/sylvester-oromoni-autopsy-report-out-exonerates-house-master-others-from-murder/amp/

The Vanguard News Report as well as the statements credited to AIG Odumosu all smack of bias and compromise.

1. AIG Odumosu as an experienced Police officer knows that while investigation is ongoing on a matter, it amounts to prejudice to make a conclusive statement such as "there is no case of murder". The toxicology report is still being awaited yet such a high ranking officer is ruling out murder? Haba!

2. The Public should be presented with the autopsy report instead of this biased reporting and conclusions which may not be a true reflection of the autopsy report.

Folabifreeman:
Tonto Dikeh will not like this news.

Congrats to Churchill, he seems to have gotten it right this time.

Truth be told, how this lady suddenly graduated from Churchill's Personal Assistant or Secretary to Wife showed a strong likelihood that she and her boss were cheating all along as Tonto alleged.

She’s pregnant, take a look at her swollen left hand. Can tell you that for free

So Buhari still get time to play match and shoot to score for this condition that he has put the country? And even at his age?

Richpet85:
I never knew she will change like earlier. She was cool with my family and friends until d wedding night. Secondly, immediately after our marriage she started her Youth Service and my company redeployed me to another state. So we weren't actually together for almost 2years.
If I had saw this redflag initially I wouldnt have end up with such miserable life.

Finally I work with financial institution, I can't follow through such decision that required time aspect during annual leave which sometime is not enough to enable one take care of some challenging family issues.

When you let a wife be uaed to having her way, it is not easy to correct. However you are the husband and the head of the family.

First, call her and have a heart to heart talk with her. Let her know you are not happy with the situation and would want it to change.

If that does not work, escalate to a meetobg with her parents, preferably her father and let them know it is not a negotiable situation. You cannot be unhappy in your own home. If she won't change, then you do not want to see her parents or siblings in your home again. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

If the family is supportong her, then let them know they would soon be looking for a new husband and doormat for their daughter!

Let them clearly see you as the man of the house. Some ladies come from background where their mother controlled their dad and would want to subtly carry such mentality into their own marriage. Ban it!

This is one of the reasons police should be given adequate time to properly investigate this case. It seems the autopsy report is inconclusive like INEC since it could not specifically point out the cause and the nature of death of the deceased.

There is only one accepted autopsy report but the OP or writer of the article seems to be a paid agent trying to sow confusion and subtly discredit the valid autopsy report. If there were indeed multiple reports, would the lawyer for the suspects not admit so?

Note also how the OP or writer subtly quotes from the two purported reports without clearly distinguishing them to try an exculpate the suspects and create a situation of conflicting reports and conclusions without directly quoting any sources.

Every paid and unpaid agent trying to create confusion in the bid to get justice for Adegoke and bring his killers to book shall reap the reward of their evil work on earth and in hell fire.

CaptainStephen:
Not on uniform in public and where she was posted as an instructor.

Females are free to find love just like their male colleagues but like I said she could have applied wisdom handling this.

Your reason here shows nothing but discrimination against the female soldiers in Nigerian Army. Are there not several instances where male soldiers have proposed in uniform and in public places to their civilian girlfriends and posted same on social media none of them got punished?

The Nigerian Army should just leave the young lady alone and let her find love in peace. She is first and foremost a human being with blood in her veins before being a soldier. Couldn't you see the genuine joy in her face in the video? Haba!

And she was not the one that filmed and posted the proposal on social media.

Below are links to several incidences of male soldiers proposing in the public capfured even on this forum to buttress my claims:

ChiefSosa:
Sometime it's hard to feel sorry for these northerners sef, because they don't even feel sorry for themselves. If buhari comes to the north now, these same people will still come out in their rags to welcome him.

The long and short of it all is that it is practically impossible to enthrone genuine democracy when the majority of your voting population are uneducated, poor and hungry and you are coming into the supposed democracy from years of corrupt dictatorial rule that has already put immense resources in that hands of the wrong people!

Saying the North deserve bad leadership becuase they vote for bad leaders is akin to blaming an uneducated, hungry and poor girl for marrying a rich man who is despotic and subjects her to domestic violence. No matter the choices you purportedly create, a hungry and poor man really has no choice. He follows where the food is and not the long term food but the short term one. If you are uneducated, used to broken promises, hopeless and have not eaten for 2 days and someone offers you the choice of food you can eat for a few days or a ticket to own a decent maize farm in 6 months time, which would you take in reality? The saying that hunger never makes a good bargain is very true. And that is why the strategy of leadership in the country is to keep the majority perpetually poor, hungry and uneducated, particularly in the North.

So don't blame the North. Be sorry for the North. And be sorry for Nigeria in general.

Upworkwriter007:
The money is still trash. Police constable II earning 40k will now earn 50. A married man in this present Nigeria?

May I remind you that the mininum wage in the country is 30k and there are married men with same qualifications as a constable earning that.

The problem with the Police is not the salary in particular. It is the deep rooted culture of corruption, lack of transparency and accountability. Increasing salaries by 100% will not solve that problem.

CHIEF OF DEFENSE STAFF, GENERAL LUCKY IRABOR, TAKES BOLD STEP TO PROMOTE TALENTED MILITARY OFFICERS


Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, has taken an unusual but bold step to promote talented, younger military officers.

About 50 Patriotic Generals in the Army, Navy and Air force will now make their exit for younger officers whose growth was previously stunted by the logjam at the top.

Women rights group also report that the decision taken by Gen. Irabor has created the biggest opportunity in Nigeria’s history for women serving in the armed forces to climb the leadership ladder.

Were you paid for this lame attempt to launder the image of General Irabor in view of trying to forcefully retires 50 Generals in the Army or you are doing pro-bono PR for him?

In trying to forcefully retire the Generals before the appropriate time, General Irabor is violating established management policies, protocols and relevant laws not to talk of the rights of the affected Generals.

Whatever good he or his supporters may say is coming out of the exercise is immaterial. People who violate the law typically do it for their selfish interest while sometimes trying to mask it as for the public good. The public who made the laws very well know that their interest is protected in obeying the laws, not violating them. If there was appropriate law and order and respect for same in the military that would guarantee the required progress of junior officers, Irabor wouod be unable to attempt what he is trying to do in the first instance. Is it not this same military where Service Chiefs went beyond their retirement age and years of service reportedly at the instance of the President and still got rewarded with Ambassadorial appointments after exit? What that military needs is proper orientation on respect for extant laws, policies and regulations and not another law breaker looking for a sentimental excuse!

talk2hb1:
Obviously you know nothing about Islam, you only respond based on bigotry and ignorance. Please go do your homework before responding.

It would do well for you to do some of the education with authoritative sources and establish how the Quran mandates hijab with direct quotes from the Quran. It should be a simple affair for you rather than an evasive "do you homework".

The clearest verse on the requirement of modest dress is Surah 24:31, telling women to guard their Instruments and draw their khimār over their bosoms. How does this verse mandate hijab?

I have take time to draw a few sources from the internet that is easily accessible to all like the Wikipedia entry on Hijab which is detailed and shows the various conflicting positions on the issue as well as the lack of a direct Quranic instruction to back the mandating of hijab for women.

Check https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab

It is also interesting to note that wearing hijab in public is not required by law in Saudi Arabia and that veiling of women did not originate with the advent of Islam. Statuettes depicting veiled priestesses date back as far as 2500 BC.

Below is also an extract from http://www.asma-lamrabet.com/articles/how-does-the-qur-an-address-the-issue-of-muslim-woman-s-veil-or-hijab affirming thus:

... It is therefore quite clear that the term Hijab does not absolutely refer to the meaning given nowadays as the scarf that should cover the head. The Hijab has nothing to do with any Islamic female dress.

talk2hb1:
By Violating Personal Right?
Obviously the school never cater for their religious right, which is considered discrimination by law. They deserved to be educated, it's their constitutional right to get educated irrespective of religion or tribe.

Wearing of hijab is a cultural and not religious practice and obviously not a pillar of Islam or mandatory practice. A Muslim woman who doesn't wear hijab is no less a Muslim than one that does. The Quran specifically advocates decent dressing for women and to lower their gaze in public. Any reading of such decency to mean use of hijab is purely the opinion of one or more clerics advocating the position. It is therefore tiring to see some Muslims trying to forment trouble on that issue, to the extent of registering a Hijab Advocacy Initiative!

Section 38(1) of the Constitution makes provision for the citizen’s "freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance."

Now if you want to say Section 38(1) of the Nigerian Constitution supports the use of hijab, then it would also be interepreted to support a wide range of conflict inducing practices in the name of religious freedom.

For example two of the five Pillars of Sikhism is non-removal of hair (kesh) and carrying a dagger (kirpan). That means a Sikh student in a school in Nigeria should be able to come to school with a dagger, long afro hair and bushy beards as a constitutional right.

The prevention of some religious people such as Christians from preaching in public buses is also a violation of their constitutional right to propagate their religion.

Islam's apostacy and blasphemy laws are also violations of the constitutional rights of any alleged victim.

If you can see the potential for chaos in a misreading of the Section 38(1), then you would understand how hijab wearing cannot be protected by it.

Guess they are a family of SS.

This genotype stuff made me believe in the survival of the fittest.

Soon those with AS and SS will be without partners for procreation because AA wants to marry only AA.

But it is interesting to note that genotype isn't a topic of discussion when dating or marrying in the developed world.

Blacks are the most susceptible race to Sickle Cell Anemia with occurrence as high as 4% in some population.

People with sickle cell trait can be found most heavily in areas of the world that have malaria. This is because sickle cell trait can protect a person from becoming infected with malaria.

Lol who tell you say Oba of Benin no dey shake hand?

In few instances as you have shown, the current Benin Oba may shake hands. But you can see he is not bowing to anyone, even in his handshake with Buhari.

Furthermore the shaking of hands is against tradition. Those are just modern introductions that further help to weaken the traditional institition. The age-old saying in Yoruba land is "No one greets the king while standing. Postration is the appropriate position to greet the king." And you could have seen former President Obasanjo demonstrate it several times.

One of the little Men of God in Nigeria that always like to give back to the society, Happy Birthday Papa, may heaven keep smiling on you !

I don't know much about the giving back to the society. But if it is true that Maxwell Odum of MBA Capital donated N1 billion in fraudulently diverted investor funds to the Christ Embassy and got a royal handshake from Pastor Chris, then the church needs to restitute the money back.

Who said Nigerians are not talented?

I am sorry to say but this is not innovation
It is engineering stupidity.

1. Keke is not a mass transit vehicle and has not been structured as such. Its maneuverability and portable size is one of its major advantages.

2. A 3-Wheeler doesn't have the balance that 4-Wheelers have. To extend it as done changes the center of gravity and introduces additional stress factors to the lower plates and body structure that contributes to the instability of the Keke. If I may ask, what compensates in the structure for the additional 2 human beings and their weights added through the extra seat in the center?

3. Extra weights increase full consumption and low fuel consumption is one of the advantages of Keke. Has the engine and fuel capacity been altered to accommodate for these extra weights and their own consequent increase in weight? I doubt it looking at those pictures of the "limo" Keke.

If what this so called innovation is about is simply extending the length of an existing Keke design and creating room for extra passengers just like a vehicle hack, then it is just plain stupid.

Nigerians can be innovative no doubt. But this is not one of those moments.

Read the post again , they didn't killed him cos of God but cos of our prophet and if actually he did that , yes he needs to died
And that is the law of every Muslim countries.If I'm a Muslim and I happened to live a place where blasphemy against their prophet or God is prohibited and punishable by the law,I think should obey it or rather leave their count for them.Simple

The tragedy of Islamic Blasphemy allegations and punishment is that they typically circumvent the proper judicial process and appeal to emotions to execute mob lynching. I have never read about or come across a blaphemy allegation that survived thorough judicial process and scrutiny. Another sad reality is that when such allegations fail in the courts, clerics threaten defence lawyers and defendants and still advocate ways to kill the defendants outside of legal circles. The barbaric nature of the mindset driving such action is lost on the wicked actors.

More often than not, blasphemy allegations simply become tools for personal revenge and vendetta by Muslims against non-Muslims.

No blashpemy law is indefensible in the face of human rights. And Muslims trying to defend it are just being selfish and unreasonable because we should always view our actions from the point that, if everyone does like we do, how would the world be?

Golan007:
Running round in circles.

The same report rejects the notion of a massacre.

So what sayeth thou?

The Report affirms a massacre in context. It is the Whitepaper by the Government stooges that sought to reject it. You should educate yourself about it before being eager to comment or respond.

Address her questions and observations.

Thank you.

A Judicial Panel of Enquiry had been setup on the matter and they have come out with a Report affirming some of the things Kemi is trying to dispute. The Report is more authoritative on the matter in the eyes of the law and it is pointless for me to be answering any questions by her. If Kemi had any important thing to say she could have made herself available to the Panel.

Nigerian billionaire businessman and real estate mogul, Ned Okonkwo, has warmed the hearts of many after he proposed to his wife of 12 years, Ichechi Okonkwo, again.

The couple were out with friends in London on Thursday, December 1, when the real estate mogul went down on one knee and asked her to marry him again.

In the video shared on their respective Instagram pages, Mrs Ichechi was chatting with friends when she turned back and saw her husband kneeling with a ring box in his hands.

Without much ado, she said a big “YES” and exchanged the ring on her finger with the new diamond rings, to the cheers and applauds of their friends.

Sharing the video, Mrs Ichehi wrote,

The job of Pastors is to win souls for heaven and not to be making predictions. The gift of prophecy is expected to be used in the service of God and not mammon. Those trying to put words in the mouth of Pastors should beware and the Pastors should avoid them.
