EkenmaPeter: I was opportune to spend some few month in my community and i was told some people will be going house to house to collect security fee 1k per building. failing to comply the person house will be locked. he will be arrested and hand over to the police (community divisional headquarter) , mind you the place have a divisional police headquarter in the community, and there is more than 3k to 5k residential building in the area, meaning they will be making close to 3million per month then pay 5 to 6 people 15k per month as salary.
so i am asking is this thing legal, and if i refuse to pay , what crime will i be charge with when taking to the police. also there is a lot of corruption in the people heading the issue.
so my question, is it legal?, this area is a remote place with a business salary that cant be more than 15k to 25k per month.
It is your community and you know best if there is any insecurity issue in time past or presently that's making such to be done.
Meerahbel: Yes, protest is a constitutional right — and a sacred one at that. It's the instrument through which the voiceless can be heard and the powerful can be held accountable. But it is important not to confuse discomfort with disorder, nor should we dismiss inconvenient protests simply because of the personality or tactics of those leading them.
Omoyele Sowore is a polarizing figure, no doubt. His methods are often provocative, and his style confrontational. But sometimes, in a system where decades of silence have bred apathy and injustice, confrontation becomes a necessary tool. It’s worth remembering that many of the rights we now take for granted were won not through “polite” lobbying, but through disruptive, uncomfortable, and often unpopular protests.
The July 21 protest — whether perfect or flawed in execution — brought national attention to an issue that is real and urgent: the shameful neglect of police retirees. These are men and women who served Nigeria, many under dangerous and thankless conditions, only to be abandoned when they needed the country most. That their cause is now being discussed, even if through controversy, is a form of impact.
Yes, some videos showed shoving, and that should not be condoned. Physical altercations with security operatives are serious matters, and should be addressed through appropriate legal processes. However, they must be examined within the context of protest environments, which are often tense, emotionally charged, and reactive — especially when protesters feel stonewalled or provoked themselves. Selective outrage over a single incident shouldn’t erase the legitimacy of the underlying issue.
The criticism that Sowore’s lost eyeglasses became a distraction is fair — but also slightly unfair. Protest leaders, like all humans, have moments of personal vulnerability. The fact that his glasses became part of the post-protest narrative doesn’t mean the retirees’ issues were forgotten. In fact, one could argue that the drama made more people aware of the protest in the first place. Awareness, no matter how it's triggered, is the first step toward change.
Regarding the choice of protest location — the Police Force Headquarters — it may not have direct responsibility for pension disbursement, but it is the symbolic and administrative heart of the institution. In activism, symbols matter. And taking the protest to that symbolic location was likely a deliberate strategy to demand attention and stir conversation at the highest levels.
It’s also important to separate the man from the message. Whether or not one likes Sowore, his presence should not delegitimize the struggle of police retirees. Dismissing the protest because of his past actions or perceived ego is akin to throwing out an entire petition because you don’t like the handwriting.
Finally, the suggestion that he should be arrested or invited for questioning must be handled with caution. We must resist the temptation to criminalize dissent, especially in a democracy. Protesters pushing boundaries should be debated, not silenced. If a crime was committed, let the courts decide — but let’s not normalize the idea that vocal activism is in itself a security threat.
At the end of the day, we should care less about whether Sowore gained attention, and more about whether the retired officers get justice. The energy should go into fixing a broken pension system, not discrediting the loudest person calling it out.

IamGreen1: My brother and his family has been living in Adamawa state since 2012 and he travels often to all the Northwest states due to nature of his job. I also served and live in Adamawa for 3 years and I am still regretting coming back to South West cause all my friends that stayed behind are earning good income and their cost of living is far cheaper than that of Lagos with good roads.
There's no need to regret such...... We all make decisions, given the time and opportunities available and our expectations. We learn as we grow.
This is just a proof that many Nigerians don't read, don't discern what the speaker intends to say even when it is clear. Many read with a closed sentimental mindset and it reflects daily in our responses to others in platforms.
rinzaugustine: This should be another opportunity to pass a single term of 5 years into law by senate and House of Representatives. Obasanjo brought up the idea towards the twilight of his presidency but it was shot down. Jonathan brought up the same and it was shot down two. Campaign for second terms usually starts two years into a term and the whole focus of leadership shifts to clinching a second term instead of serving the masses but if there is no second term on the plate they will start working for the people from day one. To buttress that argument further most past governors and presidents put in more effort in second term at serving the people than first term. One single term when passed into law will benefit the masses the most
It is a cowardly act for any President to want to resort to alter the tenure of the president to be a single tenure of either 4/5/6.......it's completely childish.
It will never solve our decadent issues....
This is what we should have and many more....
(1) They should let the masses decide such at the pools at every election. (2) They should ensure institutions are properly instituted and allowed to function truly independent. (3) Death penalty should be given as punishment for all political office holders who are found guilty of financial mismanagement and stealing and confiscation of their properties not commemorate with their true earnings. (4) Death penalty should also be given to judges at all levels who aid and abet the above and confiscation of their properties that that exceeds their true earnings. (5) Immunity should be waived completely with the exception of issues that may be considered for national security or that which threatens our sovereignty and not a personal issue . (6) We should have only one House at the federal level typically the House of Representatives. They should have offices in their respective HQ constituency and should at least twice In a year conduct proper town hall meenings. (7) Constituency projects should be executed at all levels to meet the demands of the time by reputable service providers with active participation by indigent constituents....
MaxInDHouse: Everything is brainwashing to you yet you can't refute the scriptures shown to you on each topic you yourself picked. Well let me leave you for now since everything i show you in the scriptures means brainwashing to you but before i go remember what Isaiah said:
Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
If GOOD things is always brainwashing to you what else should i say rather than to leave you to please yourself?
Guy, do enjoy your day and may you find Peace!
I have found peace a long time ago and daily enjoying it for Christ Jesus dwells in me and He has put in me the Spirit of liberty. I am free from sin and free from every form of intellectual and knowledge based bondage. I am not a slave to the world nor to the evil devising of the spirit of deception.
MaxInDHouse: If the world is filled with only Jehovah's Witnesses that means God's Kingdom is here because we will use what Jesus taught as our constitution globally with the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses directing everything from heaven where Jesus is taking them. See what Terrence said in the screenshot below.
The word POLITICS is not written in the Bible but Jesus told us that Satan is the ruler of the world:
I will not speak with you much more, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has no hold on me! John 14:30
And who is the ruler of the world?
It was revealed to Apostle John:
We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. 1John 5:19
That's why Satan could say to Jesus:
“I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” Luke 4:6-7
And Jesus told a politician whom he loved so much:
"Forgo politics with all it's prestige and join my humble disciples" Luke 18:22
Do you still want more?
Skewed knowledge and understanding of the Scripture, you keep exhibiting. I pity the brainwashed ones.
How did the Governing Body of JW come into existence? How were they appointed or selected?
MaxInDHouse: Chai! What a spirit filled man you are!
Ọmọ you need a Bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses!
True Christians don't even go into worldly politics at all! John 17:14-16
For your information throughout the world no single Jehovah's Witnesses goes into politics because politics is Satan's game. Luke 4:5-7
We are preachers and teachers of God's Kingdom.
If you don't understand i will break it down for you.
God's Kingdom means God's Government so we don't play both sides we stick to the only solution to mankind's problem which is the Government from God not from man!
Your knowledge and understanding of the Scripture is awesome.....
I guess by the standards of your teaching , assuming everyone becomes a JW, who will become the leader at every level in the country?
Politics, Satan !!!!! See brainwashing....
Please show me Scripture that points to politics being of Satan?
MaxInDHouse: Since the last time i discovered that your pastors are all liars nothing comes from them that can appeal to me because my Lord said:
"Every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit" Matthew 7:17-18
So if you're still seeing something GOOD in the hands of those you think are not "spirit filled" then you are not wise at all.
Regarding the teachings of evil people Jesus also said:
“Keep your eyes open and watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Matthew 16:6
Stop deceiving yourself in ignorance. "No bad tree can produce good fruit" ~ Jesus of Nazareth.
Look at a good tree producing good fruits.....
I look forward to the day a JW will aspire to become a State Governor or even President of the nation....
Babangidapikin: Those living will still die ..I think if Cemetery were Tourist centers most of our Politicians would go there and see that life is all vanity , may be they will have a rethink and realized a good name is better. But if it is overgrown with grasses , they will not go and keep consoling themselves.
Death will forever remain inevitable. Long before other sins are gone avarice remains.
Anyone who needs to be reminded of death through the beautification of cemetery should check self well.....
Babangidapikin: I think he did well, you would be amaze some people dump refuse close to grave sides and some cemeterys are not even maintain at all.
....
Good thinking....
While it's not said how much was expended for the renovation of the 80 cemeteries, it would be nice to know what things has he done to alleviate the welfare of those still alive ?
People like Sule Lamido are just looking for ways to stay relevant, so they try as much as possible to say anything and the media will push it to the larger populace. Well, it's quite unfortunate that this fellows are completely pained about PBAT making them insignificant and moreso a Southerner in the person of Wike who can't be controlled, cajoled or even threatened to do another person's bidding that does favour him.
PBAT understands politics does not end after his re-election and he needs Wike to ensure the APC stays relevant for a good number of years even after he is out of the presidential villa.
A lot of people will be pained to their bones wgen PBAT hands over a successor and his running mate after his tenure.
tunapawizzy: Tinubu go contest, Yoruba PDP go support am Obi go contest, Soludo go dey attack and abuse am Some people's Assessment: Yoruba is against Igbo presidency
Why will Soludo support PO?
Do you think the PDP chairman is just saying such because PBAT is Yoruba?
Even those who would support PBAT from the Niger Delta know what they will collect or have benefited before indulging in such.....
The masses from the Niger Delta region who would want to vote for PBAT out of freee will , are only doing such based on Southern Agenda and it's the turn of the South.
PO may not be lucky to have good number of votes like before if he continues the way he is going about it all ......
PlasmaTV: Inflation sweeps across different categories, my chief. Markhrdi has cheap food cos they are farmers. Abuja doesn't have same luxury
The Ajuwaya is in Adamawa, so there's no cause for any sort of inflation to trouble him.
Adamawa, Benue, Plateau, Kogi.......with what he is collecting every month, he shouldn't be complaining for hunger and still have some good savings at the end of the service period.
kenneth888: You know they ( past leader) made leadership rocket science and made to believe that nothing can be achieved in 4year fafafa foul,. it is POssible. Governance is policy driven and having the will power (not like Subsidy is gone without proper measures in place) .... as far as you are not a thief, things will fall in place. Change must start from the top and trickle down
It is very possible, very very possible.
But the problem is that we didn't see such possiblity done in Anambra State in four years when he was State governor......
But PO hasn't shown Obedients that he can manage the LP, how then does he intend to bring such transformation to the nation at large except there's a sinister agenda he won't be saying ......!!!!!
You don't know what God's word teaches so humble yourself and learn instead of deceiving yourself.
You can't give what you don't have it's out of the abundance of the heart that you can speak either spirit filled words backed with scriptures or human philosophy that will make you dumb when a real Bible student is talking! Luke 6:45
Ọmọ next time don't engage people who knows more than your teachers if you don't know keep shut!
As a child till now that I'm an adult I have never heard "spirit filled" word preached by your likes.
Never.....Never....Never....
The last time I saw your likes before the COVID-19 lockdown, I only settled for your science pamphlets out of respect. I don't give myself to brainwashing called teachings or preaching.
Good luck to your kind of philosophy and to those who are hinged on it.
MaxInDHouse: Why use blood in the first place if you're sure of your miraculous powers? Did any servant of God requires blood transfusion to cure anyone in Bible times?
I noticed that you have stopped using the Bible after seeing that you weren't taught how to use our spiritual sword! Ephesians 6:17 compare to Hebrews 4:12 Oya read what is written in God's word:
For the Holy Spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!” Act 15:28-29
The Holy Spirit and Christ's Apostles said we should abstain from blood for sound health. Today countless diseases difficult to handle by your so called medical experts are spreading. Do you know why? Well it's because you people ignored the Holy Spirit and Christ's Apostles on the matter of Health thinking you can save yourselves by doing what God condemns! Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 3:17; 7:26; 17:10; 17:13; Deuteronomy 12:16, 23
Check what medical experts are saying after experimenting blood transfusion for years!
I am not amazed but ashamed. But to continue when you misinterpret the Scripture or should I say you speak heresy without hesitation and make it look like you speak the truth.
The Scripture does not allow me to continue in gallivanting in such things that leads to nothing. It will only lead to more ungodliness and add no real value to my spirit man.
PlasmaTV: Convert that to dollars and measure against the current inflation rate. Then you'll know that fire is burning on the mountain .
That figure could have been impressive pre-APC, but now, it's maddening and saddening.
Why would he complain about inflation rate in Adamawa State?
I know someone who is serving in Markurdi and he says he knows a place a plate of food sells for #500 and he is satisfied by it... I found it hard to believe but what can I say.
MaxInDHouse: LIARS will continue to deceive themselves and others! Why aren't you people performing real miracles like the first century Christians? Thousands of blind, lame and crippled people full your churches yet you people are claiming you can perform miracles. COVID-19 exposed all of you when there was not a single church that can stop it among all of unah. Well the truth will always render you SILENCE! Isaiah 54:17
Really......
When a man is truly learned it will show. No be ignorance and arrogant talking .
Why will religious body who says they are of Christ Jesus brainwash their members against doing blood transfusion even if it means it will save them......
MaxInDHouse: Jesus said that belongs to only Israelites {Matthew 15:24} that's why you can't see one single person who is not an Israelite that performs miracle in the Bible!
Congratulations......
Keep it up.......
I naturally don't blame those who are gifted and skilled in misleading others. I blame the misled who allowed themselves to be because many of them don't realize they know better than those they have submitted themselves to be misled.
MaxInDHouse: Continue deceiving yourself. So you're saying anybody can attend any church but at the same time you want to condemn some churches claiming they teach heresy they are not Bible believing churches. How can people learning heresy be saved if what they are taught is falsehood? Matthew 24:11; Luke 6:39 Well i've proved beyond reasonable doubt that only Jehovah's Witnesses are doing God's will today. For your information the group name "CHRISTIANS" was given the disciples by inhabitants of Antioch {Act 12:26} due to the activities of Jesus' followers as they saw them preaching and teaching from house to house and door to door like the young man who claimed to be the Christ that's where they derived the group name but that's not the name God promised His worshipers so today thousands of different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines are all claiming Christians God has called His true worshipers by another name: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15 This is the name that no false teacher can associate with because it's after Jesus has purified his group that God gave us that name. Look all around you and point to your own church as in the place where you associate with your fellow worshipers {Hebrews 10:24-25} the only religion all of you can see above all others is just one while you hide your own as if you don't belong to any church {Luke 23:30; Revelations 6:16} claiming anonymous. Only one religion stands tall above others {Matthew 5:14-16} but since that is the only true religion all of you wants to condemn it yet you can't present your own! Matthew 5:11-12
Aa regards the bolded, how come you left out performing "miracles, signs and wonders", healing the sick, diseased, the lame walks, the deaf hears, the blind sees, etc, etc....
MaxInDHouse: Proverbs 12:8 Nobody commends the churches today for their perversed hearts and unwise activities. Proverbs 12:26 Jehovah's Witnesses chooses their friends wisely that's why they are able to do God's will unlike the churches who can't mention the name of their churches because they are ashamed of waywardness.
None of us will be identified by the names of our Church in heaven or hell or even in oblivion.
There are only two regions in Nigerian politics. Every political party understands that when it comes to national politics. The North and South. I am of the South.
No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute (SILENCE) every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 NIV
The word of our God is alive! Hebrews 4:12
Prov.12.8 - A man will be commended according to his wisdom, But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.
Prov.12.26 - The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
Let's move on to other things ... The SE has never tasted Executive power, you get it and want to do four years, why?
*Abuse is allowed*
It is very obvious he is running the mandate of one person which is himself .He has no regards for even the region he comes from to tell himself such playful jokes.
Well for the benefit of other followers of this thread i will say the will of God for mankind.
It's revealed to two different prophets:
In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 NIV
This means during the endtime faithful people of all the nations will start to get involved in the study of God's word and they will agree to worship the Father in Spirit and Truth by having the same line of thought globally. With what result? The next verse revealed: They will settle all their disparities peacefully among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials stop producing buying selling and using of weapons and vow never to raise weapons against their neighbors again!
That's why Jesus commissioned preaching and teaching work that Jehovah's Witnesses are doing today and the result is obvious that people globally confirmed it!
MaxInDHouse: Confused Churchian! So are you saying Jesus doesn't know what he was saying?
"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves." John 13:34-35 So Jesus is 100% correct because he told us that when you people failed to prove being true believers the next thing you'll do is call his real disciples "Satanists"
Here is Jesus himself saying:
“A student is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is enough for the student to become as his teacher, and the slave as his master. If people have called the master of the house Be·elʹze·bub, how much more those of his household?" Matthew 10 24-25
Now you're confirming that Jehovah's Witnesses are the true disciples of Christ!
Jesus Christ also says those who are His brother, sister, father and mother are those who do the will of His Father.
Anyone who doesn't take "wholesome" to hear and practice the Word of God is not yet a true disciple but just a religious person.
MaxInDHouse: That's the work of the devil CONFUSION not of God's Holy Spirit. Jesus commanded his disciples to go and meet people in their homes then he said they should preach God's Kingdom to them {Matthew 10:3-13} then later when they have become baptized Christians they should be taught continually all what he commanded them {Mathew 28:19-20} that's why he is sure they will all have the same line of thought! John 17:22
Where you people have contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines that's the handiwork of Satan {1Corinthans 14:33} which leads people into politics then later you people will be divided into fractions where Satan can instigate you people into hating, fighting and killing your fellow worshipers! Revelations 6:3-4
But the oneness in Christ is to be observed among his true disciples where LOVE is the watchword {John 13:34-35} ask anybody in your neighborhood they will confirm that there is LOVE among Jehovah's Witnesses!
If i asked you to mention the name of your church where all members have the same line of thought as Christ prayed for his disciples {John 17:22} you will be silent. WHY? Because even in the church where you're a member each one of you choose whatever you want to believe about the same god!
Hahahahahah.......
Even the early Apostles and also Peter did not quiet come to terms with the teachings of Apostle Paul who was sent to the gentile nation to speak the gospel of Christ Jesus.
Reno Omokri failed to put in his write up that "virginity" does not pertain to only the bride alone but also the groom....
A man who so desires a virgin lady should also be a virgin as well.
Also Reno also fails to understand that even the Holy Bible gives precedence to "other traditions/cultures" as long as it doesn't contradict the commands of God.
Reno does not even know that in parts of Nigeria like certain tribes in Southern Kaduna also give dowry to their daughters who are being given away in marriage.
Many don't even have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Jewish custom as it concerns marriage and it's processes.
Reno knows that there are unintelligent people and those who can't think for themselves through information they get to be able to analyze and dissect the truth.
