madridguy:He mad his intentions known with the concluding statement that she would not be disappointed as he would be giving her a nice time. That speaks a lot about the people around d the corridors if power I this country. That is a Governor's Special Assistant openly lusting after an unruly woman apparently from the exposure of her breasts. I would not be surprised if she is welcomed like a hero to her home State. |
bixton:The air hostess blocked her purportedly to prevent her from.leaving before the Security Personnel arrive. Ms. Comfort may have grounds for claiming false imprisonment against the hostess or airline. She even has claims for them dehumanizing her because someone apparently dragged her blouse to expose her indecent and she was recorded and posted on the internet like that. But on her side, Comfort made several errors like assaulting people repeatedly, damaging airline property and being generally violent and aggressive. |
bixton:Firstly, there was no video evidence to corroborate the allegation that KWAM 1 poured water or liquor on anyone. Secondly, I have stated that assaults are usually taken personal by the person assaulted and such persons typically drive resulting or consequential actions. In the Pilot case, it is apparent she decided not to escalate it or take it personal, assuming the allegation is true. In the Ms. Comfort Emmanson case, the assaulted people took it up. Assaulting security or Police Officers is typically a different ball game from general civilian. |
kodded:The issue of airplane mode may not be acceptable to the Airline and you have to respect that. With airplane.mode, while using the phone, you could directly or by mistake switch it from airplane mode when the air hostess is no more around. So they have to rely on your integrity to keep it on airplane mode. That is outside their control and ideally you try to mitigate all risks as much as possoble. Switching off is the best option. |
bixton:Forget about trying to whip up ethnic sentiments. The incidences happened at different locations and involved different airlines. One was in Abuja involving ValueJet while the other was in Lagos involving Ibom Air. One involved an unruly passenger who was already removed from the airplane trying to block flight take off. The other involved an unruly passenger assaulting airline staff and being forcibly removed from the plane. Assaults generally get faster reaction, particularly from the person being assaulted, who would likely take the matter personally and follow it up quickly, than trying to block a plane which in actual sense you are the one in grave danger and no one is likely to take it personal. And finally, it is the disposition or approach of the people involved in each case that matter. Due to Ms. Comfort Emmanson attacking a Police Officer or Security personnel directly, it is highly likely she would not go scot free at that point and that is what happened. |
decatalyst:Is it Eazy that is deciding whether the wedding will be low key or Temi Otedola? Everyone knows that loudness of a wedding is typically decided by the bride and her family. Wedding is a woman thing. Moreover when the bride's father is a billionaire. So don't give credit where it is not due. If Otedola wan loud am, wetin Eazy go do? And if Otedola no wan loud am, wetin Eazy go do? |
GreatrAnalyst:If the wing of that Airplane had struck Wasiu on the head, I doubt if there is any meaningful thing Tinubu would have been able to do to save him. It is plain stupidity to stand in front of an airplane thatnis about to take off. What was he thinking? The pilots did not handle the matter with all the professionalism and calmness required and AVSEC failed in their duty by allowing Wasiu to board with such volume of alcohol in violation of safety regulations in the first instance. |
Freshtruth:Women empowerment indeed. Disguising his side chick as ADC looks like a smart move anyway. |
Racoon:The MURIC guy's public utterances warrant examination of his academic qualifications. He should know that the constitutional provision for Shariah Courts is for the States and if the States desire it, it is their House of Assembly as the representatives of the people of the State, that will raise the issue. The limited availability of Shariah Courts is therefore a reflection of the Will of the majority of the people in the States. |
sleek214:The reality is that severe penalties should be met out to the offending hospitals. The State Goveenent or Family of the dead should sue for huge amount and criminal prosecution of the offenders. Once we have 2 or 3 such hospitals owing down, others will learn. |
seanfer:He should make comparisons with the situation under Buhari before we can take him serious. |
Urgent1Million:Polytheism is the belief in or worship of more than one god. Key features of polytheism include a pantheon of gods and the worship of multiple ditties with diverse roles. Examples of polytheistic religion include Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism and Traditional African Religions (Yoruba, Igbo). Polytheism itself is not a religion but rather a characteristic of certain belief systems or religions. It is a classification of religions just like monotheism where examples of monotheistic religions are Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Saying Polytheism is a religion is like saying Tropical Fruits is a fruit when answering a question on examples of fruits (i.e. mangoes, oranges, pineapples, peaches, oranges, etc). Tropical Fruits is a group of fruits like Mangoes, Pineapples and Papaya. If you are a teacher teaching pupils that Polytheism is a religion, you need to be sacked. ![]() |
mecuries:Polytheism is not a religion. Not good to know you have issues passing a Nursery 2 examination. ![]() |
Rashduct4luv:You can also see from this post how Islam is problematic, but the world is condoning it in the name of diplomacy. Going by what the OP has posted, not less than 70% of all Muslims in Nigeria, particularly in the South, are "kafirs - unbelievers" Or "munafiqun - false believers". Those whom we see as tolerant Muslims, who are the examples of Islam as a peaceful religion, all fall under this category of kafirs or munafiqun. And that is not all. It also includes the following category of Muslims: 1. Those who see anything wrong or undesirable in giving out their little girls at first menstruation (i.e. 9 years or less) to be married. 2. Those who hate pedophilia or who try to make excuse that Aisha was older in order to cast the Prophet in "better light". 3. Those who say they serve the same God as Christians but it is only the approach or method that is different. 4. Those who give their daughters to Christians in marriage or allow their sons to marry Christians without converting them. 5. All Shia Muslims or Shittes and followers of sect leaders like Ahmad El Tijani (Tijaniyya), Ahmadou Bamba (Muridiyya), Ahmad al-Rifaʽi (Rifaiyya) and several other orders of Sufi groups and leadership. These run into hundreds of millions across the world. The truth is that the moderate Muslim is only being tolerated by the hard-core Muslims for numbers, not that they do not regard them as equivalent to infidels and kafirs, the posy by OP has shown. |
Pythagoras001:Finally I am seeing a reasonable comment. 1. In any structure organization, it is common knowledge knowledge you don't engage in tasks that are not assigned to you or your responsibility. Was the repair of diesel generator assigned to any Professor or PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the Institution? I very much doubt it. 2. There are Engineers and there are Technicians. It is not the job of engineers to repair generators. Furthermore, nobody will hire a genuine engineer and be paying him the appropriate salary scale or remuneration to be repairing generators. Just do a Goigle search of COREN Scale of Fees for Engineering Professionals and you will know better. How many sane persons will argue that because there is shortage of teachers in a University's Staff Secondary School, then Professors should be assigned to teach? Of course it will be irrational and a big insult to the Professors in just the same manner when you tell the Engineering Professors to fix a faulty diesel generator. |
AMINDA:Tinubu's political history showed that he has never decamped or cross carpeted from one party to another party either for personal or political gains. Therefore he has been more consistent and reliable than either Obi or Atiku. It is easier to rely on a promise from Tinubu than either Obi or Atiku. |
LordBiden:Islam has been a very costly developmental mistake for Iran and Persians. Pre-Islamic Persian Empires were masters in architectural achievememts, governance and administration. If they were to have continued on that trajectory, then Iran would have been far ahead of where it is today. It is on record that the Abbasid Empire, which ushered in the Golden Era of Islam, relied more on Persian advise and governance expertise which made the empire so successful. It is also fact that the Persians were the most significant contributors to the achievements of the Islamic Golden Era in science and mathematics. Until the Arabs took back the reigns and Islam began to suffocate innovation. It is also fact that before the Islamic Revolution that ushered in Khomeini, Iran experienced rapid modernization and economic growth under the Pahlavi dynasty. The country's GDP per capita grew significantly, driven by oil revenues and industrialization. However, the revolution and subsequent war with Iraq led to substantial economic damage, with estimated losses of around $500 billion. |
Axis313:To say Israel is just creating enemies by attacking Iran is plain funny. Almost all the countries surrounding Israel including Iran and other Muslim countries have made.public their hatred for Israel and their desire to eradicate Israel. So there is no need for Israel to pretend or loose its guard. The only language the Arabs and Middle Eastern countries perfectly understand is violence. |
DiamondsAreFore:AI is not an all knowing Oracle. Saying you mapped data from slums to get the urban poor is not convincing enough. Miscreants also hang around and live in slums. So how were you able to filter them. Note that accessing phone data of alum residents from Telecoms providers is violation of privacy. |
FIRDAUS3:The mockery started with Government building what they claim to be low cost housing for civil servants and a 2-Bedroom Bungalow is priced at N 30 million while a 3-Bedroom is priced at N 40 million and the minimum wage is N 30,000 per month while the average monthly salary of a Director in State Civil Service is between N 100K and N 200K. What cadre of civil servants are expected to afford such "low cost" housing based on their salaries? |
G0odharddick:JAMB is looking for the easy way out. They should release their scripts and audit trails for each candidate and let's see how it matches with the scores given to them. All the turenchi about glitches and patches is just to obfuscate the real issue. Their system has no audit trail and proper quality control for exam sessions. |
Sibrah:Their Computer Based Testing solution has no accountability and auditability built into it. It just gives final scores without room to detect or trace errors. The crocodile tears by Oloyede is to avoid the FOI request for the scripts of the candidates. He very well knows they cannot produce it and has resorted to crying to avoid it and owning up to errors. His admission didn't come out until there was a request for the scripts and he knows the disgrace that will follow. There is need to seriously question JAMB on their processes for grading and the checks and balances that are in place. Their software could as well have been dolling out marks all these years. |
Kobojunkie:The implications of Moses raising the bronze serpent (which is in Numbers 21 and not 27 as you claim) is for salvation for those bitteb by the snakes. Jesus himself referenced the story in John 3:14-15, stating, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life". Trying to extrapolate from the story as refenced by Jesus to imply Jesus was sent only to Israelites because the audience of Moses in the wilderness were Israelites is seriously laughable. Have you never heard of analogies before? The purpose of the Moses and Bronze Serpent analogy is to bring out the salvation from Jesus death on the cross and ensuing salvation. It is all a manner of speech because even simply looking at Jesus on the cross by direct translation does not grant you salvation as in the instance of the bronze serpent. That is why Jesus qualifies it with "believing in him to have eternal life". Looking at the serpent never granted eternal life. So you cannot just decide to pick things from the background that suits your narrative. Jesus said "whoever believes" and there is no way anyone can read that as limiting to Israelites. I conclude with John 1:11-12 which says of Jesus: [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. If you still don't get it and insist that Jesus's message is strictly for Israelites, then I will say eat your Fufu, take your medication with plenty water and rest. Your mental health need it. |
Kobojunkie:I applaud your sophistry, but I am not swayed by such false arguments. 1. Jesus said make disciples of all nations and the text clarifying that it is not Israel is clearly mine to show the contrast that all nations is beyond Israel which is the nation of Jews. Even if you want to argue that Jews are spread across the world, they are not in all nations. 2. I am honestly perplexed at your attempt to equate the "world of Moses" to the "world" that God so loved and gave his only begotten Son in John 3:16 based on the analogy in John 3:14 that as Moses was lifted up in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,. Apology for any offense, but it indicates not only shallow reasoning but also a convoluted one. You could as well have argued that the world that God loved is a wilderness. 3. God called himself the God of Abraham before any other person. And the same God who changed Abram's name to Abraham said Abraham means "father of nations" (Genesis 17:5). In essence by being the God of Abraham, the father of nations, God is not limiting himself just to the Israelites and Jews. While Jesus initially focused on the lost Sheep of Israel, John the Baptist's declaration about the lamb that takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), the prophetic declaration in Genesis 22:18 that all nations will be blessed through an offspring (not offsprings) of Abraham, Jesus' mandate to make disciples of all nations after his resurrection in Matthew and the clarifications in John 1:11 - 13 that he came unto his own but his own accepted him not but power is give to as many as accept him to be sons of God; all these verses work out to present a clear picture that Jesus Christ and his message of salvation is for all nations both as intended by God in His plan from Genesis and even as confirmed by Jesus after resurrection. If you are an atheist or unbeliever, stick with your position and not try to spread disinformation by sophistry. You on convoluted logic with colour blue is a tenuous and unsustainable attempt to spin truth on its head. Rest. |
Kobojunkie:Matthew 28:18-20 NIV [18] Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” That is Jesus speaking after his resurrection, giving directions to his followers to make disciples of all nations and not just Israel. When John addressed Jesus in John 1:29, he said "Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world" and not the sin of Jews or Israelites. So the God of Jesus is not just the God of the Jews and Israelites as you claim. |
MaxInDHouse:Abstaining from blood as mentioned in the Bible relates to avoiding the consumption of blood and not rejection of blood transfusion. The Genesis 9:4 quoted by you as well as the more detailed Leviticus 17:10-16 clearly specify the abstention from blood relating to not eating blood because the life of the animal is in the blood. The decision to equate abstaining from blood to rejection of blood transfusion is an interpretation specific to Jehovah's Witnesses, which in my opinion has no sound Biblical basis. The word "abstain" in English means to refrain from doing or enjoying something. How do you enjoy blood aside from eating? Is a person being transfused blood enjoying the blood? Definitely NO. It is usually a matter of life and death in blood transfusions. The basis as repeatedly highlighted through the Bible for abstaining from blood is that blood is sacred and is the life of the animal and therefore should be respected and not consumed like other food. In transfusion blood, it is more or less synonymous to giving life which aligns with the respect for blood highlighted through the Bible. And that is why when Jesus talks about consuming his flesh and drinking his blood in Holy Communion, it is not strange to us Christians because he is the source that gives life to us. Those who reject blood transfusion in life-saving scenarios are the kind of people that would condemn Jesus for healing on the Sabbath and see themselves as more "godly" than others in keeping or enforcingthe Sabbath. Yet we know the response of Jesus to those set of people in the Bible. |
eastOFwest:In Nigeria, adultery is a criminal offense in states governed by the Penal Code, specifically in Northern Nigeria. Penalties for adultery under the Penal Code include imprisonment and/or fines. If evidence exist that he slept with a married woman within Northern Nigeria (i.e. Kwara State up to the North), then he has committed a crime. |
gidgiddy:That is not too strange. Muhammadu Buhari is Mamman Daura"s Uncle, yet Daura is 3 years older than Buhari. |
Gentledove2001:It is not a question of lacking opposition as much as lacking institutions and systems. Our democracy is poorly disguised dictatorship and almost every one of our politicians have that dictatorship tendency. The sepelaration of powers that is the bedrock of democracy is being weakened on a daily basis and the little semblance of institutions that we have are being eroded. The rationale behind Governors pocketing their State Houses of Assembly so that their powers can remain unchecked contrary to democratic ideals is also the rationale behind compromising elections. Almost every African politician has absolute monarchy hidden in their heart in which they can eternally subjugate people and rule them without accountability. Any gains made towards ideal democracy is seen by our politicians as an assault on their dreams and existence and thus need to be reversed. The opposition of today, given power, begins to behave as horribly as the ones they earlier opposed. |
[quote author= post=135104415]Can our darling nation replicate the same ![]() Giant of Africa oooo[/quote]You cannot encourage the replication of illegality. In a democracy, there is clear separation of powers and the judiciary ought to be independent. |
Celestialsword:With Delta and Rivers State gone from PDP, what serious opposition can the APC expect in the next election? Politics in Niveria is all about money. PDP was able to make a grand show last election because of Okowa. Without Rivers or Dleta State money, which PDP State Goveenor will fund them? For quite some time during the Buhari era, PDP existed only because of Wike. |
