#GrowNotBlow! Can we turn this to a trending hashtag? Might just save some from temptation. The lives we save might just be very dear to us.

Xtian Pastor President Obasanjo overindulged in it sef and there was no complaint so why raise an issue IF a Muslim decides to do what his religion allows anyway? Wouldn't that be hypocrisy of the highest order?

midnighter:
i feel that it should, polygamous marriages should be stamped out and i wouldnt like our president to indulge in it...it looks backward

39 out of 89 Nigerians killed in SA in last 21 months died in drug wars

60% of over 10,000 Nigerians in SA prisons there for drug offenses

~3% of Nigerians in SA are in prison

As at July this year Nigeria had less than 24,000 convicts in prison https://www.prisons.gov.ng/statistics which means more than a quarter the number of convicts at home are imprisoned in SA alone. When we count Ghana and the rest of Africa, before we even go to Oyinbo land, can we boast that our children are representing us well out there?

And man pickin don dey pity am o. I counted him as one of the things PMB wasn't getting right but see as the man just prove all of us to be busybodies and ignorant interlopers. Truly na dem know how to handle themselves.

I placed my comment about the article to point out that it wasn't current news etc but more of putting OBJ's current angst in perspective.

Can PMB put OBJ in jail? Why don't you ask OBJ who raised exactly this alarm 13 months ago? If he didn't believe his junior in the army could jail him why did he raise an alarm and why is he in panicky Samson Option mode? Didn't Abacha his junior send him to jail without even blinking?

Xisnin:


First, your resurrection of the news item is suspect.

Placing your personal opinion strategically above the real news means that you do not believe that the article supports your position.


I am tempted to ask about the financial and capital crimes OBJ allegedly committed.

Don't you agree that 4 years is more than enough time to nail him in at least one case if what "we all heard so much about"
is true?

What is even more worrisome is that you believe that Buhari can jail anybody above his pay grade on flimsy excuse.

How is it fake news o bros? The Punch link no work for you abi you no get data?

Xisnin:
Fake news.

Who remembers this mid 2018 alarm raised by OBJ before he suddenly fell in love again with Atiku? Can anyone connect this to his sudden role as Yoruba and Southern Nigeria Voltron? Could PMB conceivably arrest or even probe him over any of his financial and capital crimes that we all heard so much about now he has donned the toga of Messiah? This is one reason some of us discount any of his histrionics by 99%. We know Baba neither wants to go to jail for his crimes nor vomit our yams but God will continue to grant him long life and health so that he will one day pay for all he has done and continues to do against this blessed commonwealth in Jesus name.

Buhari planning to send me to jail, Obasanjo raises the alarm

Published June 8, 2018

Samuel Awoyinfa, Abeokuta

A former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has raised the alarm that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has put his name on its security watchlist.

Obasanjo claimed security agencies are plotting to arrest and put him in detention.

The former president made these allegations in a statement signed by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Friday in Abeokuta.

Obasanjo noted that the present administration wanted to blackmail him into abandoning his divine mandate to protect the rights of Nigerians to a better life.

The statement read in part: “Since Chief Olusegun Obasanjo declared in his State-of-the-Nation special statement on January 23, 2018, the desperation to frustrate, intimidate and blackmail him into abandoning his divine mandate to protect the rights of the people to better life and living continued unabated and has even taken a bizarre dimension.

“Impeccable security sources have alleged Chief Obasanjo’s name is on their Watch List and that the security of his life cannot be guaranteed.

“According to these informants, many of who are in the top echelon of the nation’s security management and close to the corridors of power, the operatives are daily perfecting how to curtail the personal liberties of the former President and hang a crime on him.

“Ordinarily, we would not have dignified these reports with a response but for the fact that many of these informants are not known for flippant and frivolous talks.

“This government has demonstrably exhibited apathy, and in some cases, encouraged by its conduct, daily loss of lives and property in many states of the country, the office cannot be indifferent.

We are currently in a nation where the Number Three citizen is being harangued and the Number Four citizen is facing similar threat within the same Government they serve.

“There is a groundswell of our nationals that live in fear that they could be hounded, harassed, maimed or even killed as the battle for 2019 takes this worrisome dimension.

“The content of the alleged beastly designs, it was learnt are two-fold for now. One, to seize his International Passport and clamp him into detention indefinitely, in order to prevent him from further expressing angst on the pervasive mediocrity in the quality of governance, economic management and in the protection of lives and property by the government.

“But, since that could expose the government to a swath of international condemnation, embarrassment and outrage, it is said that another plot being hatched is to cause the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to re-open investigation into the activities of Chief Obasanjo’s administration using false witnesses and documents. This will be a re-enactment of the Abacha era in which Chief Obasanjo was one of the principal victims.

“The same EFCC that had conducted a clinical investigation on the activities of Obasanjo in and out of Government, it was said, would now be made to stand down the existing report that gave Chief Obasanjo a clean bill of health on the probes are now to get him indicted, fair or foul for possible prosecution and persecution like it is being done to real and perceived opponents, enemies and critics of this Government. Dissent is a fundamental principle on which liberal democracy is predicated. A true democrat must be ready to live with and accommodate dissent and opposition.

“While it is regrettable how the Government has sunk in its shameless desperation to cow opposition, a resort to blackmail, despotism and Gestapo-tactics being employed by the goons of this Government would not hold water. And no government ever remains in power forever.

“For the record, Chief Obasanjo reiterates his readiness to face probe again after that of the House of Representatives, the Senate, the ICPC, and the EFCC, but before an independent, objective and credible panel of enquiry to account for his stewardship in Government and beyond.

“Chief Obasanjo reiterates that he has taken a principled position to ensure that the ship of the Nigerian State does not capsize and he remains steadfast in his resolve to turn the tide of maladministration, poor economic management and rudderless governance model that has torn Nigerians apart on account of religion and ethnicity which is a great threat to our democracy.

“We would like the Government and its supporters to understand that no amount of campaign of calumny, no matter how well contrived, orchestrated or marketed would deter Chief Obasanjo from calling a spade by its name. Chief Obasanjo is a patriot whose sole agenda is to ensure that the country’s unity, progress, and democracy are not negotiated on the altar of incompetence and provincialism and mediocrity.”

I need to warn my peeps. This fulanisation of the SS must not stand

Even in the US they now flip burgers with degrees so better humble yourself and take what is on offer. If you are as good as the degree in hand you will naturally rise beyond bus driving but if you are one of the millions of degree holders not even worth school cert then you might not last even on this driving gig.

Nukilia:
Oh God! Don't do this to our graduates! Employ SSCE holders for driving jobs and look for more brain tasking jobs for the youths of this nation. Sanwo Olu should not disappoint...

A five year bachelors degree should be fit for something more challenging than driving BRT!

Who did we offend in this country!

Almost 1% of the state's and mass of just 632,000 hectares. Most, I suspect, self allocated as governor. He learnt well from OBJ

Larryfest:
Almost 5000 hectares of land for just one person, will others get enough space to do theirs at all

10s of 1000s of people sent to China for this training ba abi how many polling booths do we have nationwide and you need one per booth. Why can't they go for training on how to create plausible conspiracy

theories?

Lanretoye:
And some fools will believe this.

It was started in July 2017 so how could it be overdue for commissioning? E easy like that?

The wahala with you guys and your fundamental sleight of hand is to teach that the only way to give to God is through pastors / church which is quite contrary to what Jesus taught us all in Mat 25: 31-46. Pls read it below and be reminded how Jesus wants us to give to him and serve him.

Meanwhile I know a fellow who just did several transfers this morning. First was to set up 12 recurring transfers of N40k each to his brother who is in his 70s but has fallen on hard times despite having blessed the whole family when the going was good. Second was a N100k transfer to his neighbour who is ill and also not in good shape financially. Pls note he is not on good terms with the neighbour politically. Third was 12 recurring transfers of N15k each to a cousin who is a struggling widow with two kids. Fourth is N180k to a female cousin in her 70s who is childless and not too able economically. Fifth is N360k to a cousin he wronged in childhood so this is more of ongoing reparation. Pls note that today isn't an extraordinary day for him as he generally provides for the needs of those around him as God has blessed him.

Question is: Can we say this fellow would have complied better with the words of Jesus in Mat 25 and elsewhere if he had given all this money to some overfed pastor who had deceived him by claiming to be the only way to God? We should read our bibles pali to pali and stop being made merchandise of.

Parable of The Sheep and the Goats

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

How about starting a 'go fund me' effort for hm? I would love to support him and plug the hole I expect he now has in his income.

JeromeBlack:
Whether you support Daddy Freeze or not, you cannot argue against his steadfastness in the face of great opposition from a horde of christian tithers.

Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze has become the face of the anti-tithe movement. With his eloquent sermons on social media under his "Free The Sheeple movement, he has swayed a lot of people against the doctrine of tithe.

The unfortunate truth is that Daddy Freeze has suffered a lot of abuse from christians who support tithe, both personally and professionally. On social media, he has received insults towards his wife and marital life. He has been cursed by certain christians who wish death and suffering upon him. He has lost a lost of sponsors and hosting contracts as a result of his outspokenness against tithing.

With all these abuse hurled against him, Freeze still soldiers on in his mission free the sheeple in Nigeria. One must also commend Freeze for reinforcing his anti-tithe arguments with biblical references. His scholarly method of argument has won a lot of fans to his side. Many commentators and spectators on the tithe culture wars have indeed noticed that Freeze actually quotes the bible more than his opponents in tithe arguments.

Another thing that Freeze should be commended for is his outreach to the poor. He actually put actions to his word action by engaging in charity programmes to help the poor. Freeze argues that it is better to "tithe" to the poor who need the money more than rich pastors.

In order not to sound biased, one must also point out that Freeze is not a saint. He confessed that it took him a while to stop tithing- long after he started preaching against tithe. While one can say that Freeze was being honest, one cannot dismiss the temporal hypocrisy displayed. Furthermore, his divorce was a bit messy for the average christian.

All in all, Daddy Freeze remains a great man. A man who did not give up, even in the face of a great opposition. Billionare pastors could not stop him in his mission to free the sheeple. A David and Goliath story. History will remember him.

Hygiene. Lice prevention.

OdikwaRisky:
so how would you explain the buzz cut?

Thank you jare. They claimed they were outgunned yet were running away with several gun trucks and said BH got much armament from them. If they had confronted BH with all they had instead of beating a retreat having been conquered by BH psychological warfare they would have prevailed in my view. They said they weren't motivated. So staying alive wasn't motivation enough?

Henry240:
Nigerian soldiers, like the Federal Government are too full of complaints.

As an individual that has followed the military for many years, some of the losses ground troops face are embarrassing to say the least.

Nigerian troops lost at-least 2 Main Battle Tanks, 1 APC and 7 heavily armed gun trucks.


How can they claim to be out-gunned?

Pls search for Mike Davidson on Youtube. He might be able to point you in the right direction for effective help. May God's grace suffice for you in Jesus name.

PDP went through many election cycles but didnt think any fit to make such moves even for election sake.

Until we pay govt workers living wages we are wasting our time 'fighting' corruption. No group of people came to this world to spectate while you and I buy cars, build houses and gallivant all over the world.

Saraki gave white Zimbabwean farmers 2000 hectares each plus bank loans and an air strip but wailers have a problem with fellow Nigerians getting 15,000 hectares?

Uptown babies don't cry....

Maybe you should start by naming the projects GEJ started and finished in your state in over five years even with record oil income.

Small time dem go say dem wan kill biafran bank. Generally if the state govts and FGN get to grips with tax dodging, oil income will be marginalised. Imagine ordinary WHT on dividends! I was there two weeks ago to chase my dividend with EDividend mandate in hand only for them they tell me they had the one submitted for me by FSDH more than six months ago with them so I shouldn't bother submitting another! Oya bring the warrant now, I was told to go upstairs and from there I was told to go home and expect credit in another 10 working days. 2016 FY dividend o.

Bitcoin plunges as investors suffer reality check
Published December 22, 2017

Bitcoin prices plunged by a quarter on Friday as investors cashed out just before Christmas after the wildly volatile currency’s stratospheric rise in recent weeks.

The precipitous drop comes after a series of warnings by analysts and governments about a bubble that could burst at any moment as investors, many inexperienced, piled into the unit hoping to enjoy some of the eye-watering gains.

The controversial cryptocurrency fell to $12,191 from its Thursday price of $16,563.

It is down almost 40 percent down from its record high of $19,500 seen on Monday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The sell-off has bled through to other cryptocurrencies such as Dash, Litecoin and Ripple, all of which were sent plunging.

Stephen Innes, head of trading for Asia Pacific at OANDA, said investors are having a “reality check”.

He added: “At the heart of the matter was a frenzied demand for coins with limited supply has now led to unsophisticated investors holding the bag at the top.”

At its height, Bitcoin had soared almost 30-fold since the start of the year and has moved into the mainstream as two major US exchanges began trading futures in the unit.

And the mania that has swept the Bitcoin universe saw a New York beverage company this week announce it was shifting into cryptocurrency-related investments.

Long Island Iced Tea Corp of Farmingdale, New York — which says it currently produces the soft drink with a proprietary recipe — said on Thursday it was changing its name to “Long Blockchain Corp” and would explore investments in the technology underlying cryptocurrencies.

Shares in the firm rose 180 percent on the tech-rich Nasdaq following the news.

Bitcoin began looking shaky on Wednesday when it took a 15-percent hit following news South Korean exchange Youbit had been hacked, leading the firm to say it will close and start bankruptcy proceedings. South Korea and Japan are home to some of the largest number of traders in the currency.

The Youbit development came a day after US authorities suspended trading in a popular Bitcoin-related stock, citing concerns about market manipulation.

The Crypto Company’s share price had risen 1,700 percent between the end of September and Monday evening before the Securities Exchange Commission intervened to halt trades until January 4.

There have been numerous warnings about a possible blowout in the Bitcoin market.

Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Thursday that the price surge of the virtual currency was “abnormal”, while Singapore’s central bank advised investors to “act with extreme caution”.

The vice-president of the European Central Bank has also expressed concern about the relentless rise in the value of Bitcoin and the potential risk accompanying the trend.

US Federal Reserve boss Janet Yellen has said Bitcoin is not money and called on banks to be certain their digital currency transactions adhere to anti-money laundering statutes.

Festus Keyamo is now Yoruba?

Lilith is a dangerous demon of the night, who is sexually wanton, and who steals babies in the darkness.[1] The character is generally thought to derive in part from a historically far earlier class of female demons (lilītu) in ancient Mesopotamian religion, found in cuneiform texts of Sumer, the Akkadian Empire, Assyria, and Babylonia.
