Stephen0mozzy: Christianity in Nigeria can't have ONE paternal figure - the whole ideology that birthed the Pentecostal Church and others, was to divorce themselves from the hierarchical system of the Catholic Church - what you're asking for is a Nigerian Christian Pope.
Even as denominational fathers, due to CLEARLY DIFFERENT DOCTRINES, these people have influence to put government on their toes, but they are SCARED, MERE MORTALS LIKE THE REST OF US.
Christ Jesus didn't teach His disciples to be scared, neither did he tell them to be economical with the truth.
thesolutions: Denominational fathers are still fathers. There is a unifying body known as Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). They have made statements just like our legislators are making statements regarding the security situation in the country. But their statements can be bought just like those of the politicians can be bought too.
Is is statements that solves security challenges? But if a respected father, be it denominational father or any religious father, makes statements, the state forces will act on those statements to show him they are on top of the matter.
But when respect for these fathers have gone to the dogs, the best they can do is give examples of countries that are getting it right so as not to step on toes of vindictive government and self centred citizens
CAN is no different from the Saducces and Pharisees in the old Jewish system. They are not a unifying body of Truth in the body of Christ. You can't have your brothers bleeding in the North and Middle belt and you're not bothered like the insensitive government.
“Christianity in Nigeria has no fathers. One young man was speaking intensely, saying Enoch Adeboye and David Oyedepo should speak out, and I asked myself, are these the fathers of Christianity in Nigeria? These are denominational leaders.

Listening2: I was in town for some business and it was inevitable that I catch up with an old friend.
His babe prepared a delicious meal that she sent to me through him.
The fact that she's from my state, I had to appreciate her specially. So I asked him for her account and wired her some token of appreciation.
Even though my guy was very appreciative, I've been feeling uneasy, like I shouldn't have done that. And information reaching me right now is that he and his babe had a quarrel that same day. But I don't want to believe it's because of that.
Either way, I just want to know guys, was I wrong to send money directly to his babe?
As long as it's the guy who is the boy friend that gave you the account details, there's nothing to worry about. As long as you have no cunning feelings to want to have an affair with your guy's girl friend, you did nothing wrong.
If you're all still bothered, just invite the both of them to come as boy friend and girlfriend together and not separately to a preferred spot of your choice and talk it over some plates of food and juices.
So recently I've been thinking about marriage. Tho I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me. I've talked to her severally but it seems she isn't ready to settle down yet. Imagine this is someone whom I've gone to see her people and they know me well. My own people know her too. I've equally talked to her mom since she's the one parent she has . And had also talked to her best friend about it too.
But one thing I've noticed about her is that she's over religious and seems to be too close to her pastor. The last time I talked to her about the marriage stuff,she directed me to go and talk to her pastor. Tho I was initially furious about it but I just had to man up,kill my pride and decided to pay her pastor a visit.
From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.
It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.
So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry.
Your first mistake is to even tell the pastor how much your salary is... Your so called girl friend is not ready for marriage yet. Anyone who allows their pastor to have a final say in their personal affairs is not ready for life and living. Their role is to advice and not take an overbearing role on their members. You should move on and let her be and don't look back.
KnowledgePower7: I moved into a new apartment and I'm very comfortable. Now my babe is kinda baddie type girl
Before you judge me. I like her like that She visits me from time to time. She get car oo. No be small pikin. .
But herr is the little issue.
Early this month she helped me pay half of the money I paid for rent. So technically it felt like we split the rent. Ok cool
She lives with her mum in a nice house. So of lately she sounds time in my place.
Now this is where it gets funky
She dey kpooo SK loud for the balcony we stay upstairs. Sometimes she smoke inside the house. We have a family neighbor opposite us. I feel that my babe smoke is affecting them because the building is close to each other. Anytime she smoke I hear this family neigbours slide their window shut.
She does this whenever we want to phuck Now to make it worse she like to moan loud One time around 3 am she scream loudly during orgasm . I had to force my hand to cover her mouth.
She is giving me bad rep in this street And I'm scared police might come I have talked about this to her and she said that she said rent too and she can do whatever she wants it's her money.
Frankly she paid 80% of the rent I settled agent fee and the rest
My brothers, what do I do?? My reputation is looking bad I can't chase her out based on she paid huge part of rent. She dey moan loud and smoke loud I still love her. She love me like mad .
But I won't lie anytime she start smoking I just feel panic that neigbours might call police due to the smell. But she don't care
What should I do my brothers
You're very unserious. Just wait till when the cops come knocking on your door and both of you are in the house, then you'll know what to say...... You don't know what is bad rep.....
Nevertheless, if she doesn't want to behave, give her back the money she paid and then make the rules so that she can abide.....
You marry this type, you go know what it means for a woman to house a man!!!!!
Good day house. Please does anyone know where on can get a fire fighter training and certification in Nigeria from a foremost recognized training centre or institution?
What certifications comprises of safety fire fighting? Any place known in the Niger Delta region like Rivers State or any other place....
I await responses. Thanks and God bless you richly.
bentenny: Bro forget the naira for exchange arrangement! Thats a scam! On the average,Dangote imports 55-60% of crude from countries like USA! But i keep asking...what stops the FG from subsiding crude for dangote to strictly sell to Nigerian citizens at a cheaper rate?
When you say 50-60% of what quantity?
Are these actual figures known to Nigerians or it's like those guys who use falsified data to claim subsidy payment from the FG when it was the business of the day..... While this is the reverse .....!!!!
deji17: Do you know that oil extraction is a business by private companies in Nigeria? They price the crude based on cost and going market rates. Oil business is not charity . Buying in Naira does not mean you will not buy the naira equivalent. The price keeps fluctuating. Never static and that is what you see all over the world. You need to get out of the mindset of govt fixing prices of petrol, dollar rate etc.
You did'nt asnwer the question..... The quantity is what i asked ....
bentenny: This is all on the apc led federal government. Buhari had 8 solid years to build atleast 2 refineries that would have been serving nigerians but they were all waiting for dangote! Tinubu used billions of dollars to repair two refineries which turned out to be a scam and a channel for embezzlement! Interestingly,Saudi arabia during the regime of Buhari,built two new refineries! In 2026,we have no business importing or depending on the monopoly of dangote refineries! Unfortunately,its not dangote's fault as most of the crude oil he gets are imported!
How much quantity of the crude oil Dangote buys is imported as against tbat he buys within given the naira for exchange arrangement he benefits from that we are told it benefits the nigerian economy?
deji17: It's the effect of the Iran/ Us/ Israel war Cost of crude has gone up. All over the world petrol prices has gone up
What quantity of crude does Dangote buys from outside Nigeria in foreign currency as against the quantity bought from within Nigeria given the naira for exchange arrangement that he benefits from that we are meant to believe that it benefits the Nigerian economy?
abuhusna1: When a poor man is not ready to make money he calls the rich thieves. Ask those who bought dangote sugar and dangote cement if they are not super rich
Don't tell us to ask..... Please if you're one of those who bought kindly tell us how super rich was the payment of dividends and how much were you paid thr last time payment was done for such shares owned?
This doesn't look like something an educative institution writes.......
Do they have any proof whatsoever on this or just like someone wrote down there about particles of iron metal being mixed with the grinded food...!!!
Some people went to school just to pass exams which is quite easy but they don't think for themselves.....
One major processed food in Nigeria which majority eat is garri and you can imagine how many of us are even willing to believing this nonsensical write up.......
One good thing about the Nigerian politics is that while they are out of office and seat of power, it may seem that they are saying something of good ue but when they get into office a d seat of power, they become the very things they once criticized and spoke against.
Very gross lies.... Even bandits in those States will be laughing at this mannerless statements Akpabio and sensible Nigerians know why they will not want election results to be electronically transmitted.
I only laugh at people who are followers of such kinds of people. These are humans with no iota of integrity. It's so funny that the PDP once had these sets strange fellows to do their bidding and they are now doing the bidding of the ruling party. These are men who are no different from the bandits, ritual killers, yahoo and the ++, killer squad IPOB, etc, etc, all who do their dirty acts having different ideologies but at the end of the day, the main aim and objective is same.
Ishilove: Someone complained on X that there had been no power in Ikorodu since it rained, and a social media handle called Nigerian National Grid explained the reason why power goes off anytime it rains. At least in Nigeria. I don't know how it is in other countries
Orlandoo: If you gather all the Igbos in different states in Nigeria, then I think Igbos are the largest indigenous tribe and might extra states to be created for them.
Please mention the States where those Igbos are and ask yourself if they see themselves as Igbos or you think we are in the era of Lord Lugard or Queen Amina of Kano!!!!!
At the same time, the president issued a firm warning to Fubara, insisting that political seniority and structures must be respected.
The bolded is all that matters as far as politics is concerned. Nevertheless if Gov. Fubara wants to break free from all this bonds that he has put himself then he should come clean to God and the people and let God fight for him.
SixSeven: With the way this government has handled the information around this coup, first from the early denial 3 months and scaring the press for irresponsible journalism and unpatriotism to now admitting that there was a coup attempt without any apology that they lied, you cannot tell me that the reason for the delay is nothing but POLITICS.
A government of propaganda is always concerned about their image and they do this with the way they manage information. It's such a disgrace and a red card because what they have done is proof that the government cannot be trusted.
Do not forget that President Tinubu did attempt a controversial "special presidential promotion" for his Aide-de-Camp (ADC), Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, in December 2025.
The apparent contradiction can be explained by three main factors:
1. Strategic Misdirection and False Flag (October 2025): When the plot was first foiled in late September, the military and Presidency denied the coup rumors to prevent panic and deter copycat attempts. They publicly reclassified the arrests of 16 officers as "routine disciplinary actions" for career stagnation and exams.
2. The ADC Promotion Logic (December 2025): The attempt to promote Colonel Yusuf just two months later was actually tied to the coup climate. The Presidency's formal reason was "rank parity" with other Villa security chiefs, but analysts suggest it was an attempt to solidify the loyalty of the President's immediate inner circle. Promoting his most trusted personal guard was seen as a way to ensure a "last line of defense" after a major betrayal within the wider military.
3. The Admission (January 2026): The government only admitted the truth once the investigation was complete and the legal process for a court-martial was ready. This delayed confirmation allowed them to secure the administration and reshuffle top military brass, including moving General CG Musa to his current role as Minister of Defence before the public admission.
The government prioritized stability through denial in October, attempted to build a "fortress" of loyalists in December, and finally felt secure enough to be transparent in January. In short, the government lied through the seasons. Happy New Year folks.
Well said. What the government just did is one of those things referred to in the American movies as misdirection.... There was actually no coup or attempted coup. It's just a repeat in different content of that coup that Abacha used in silencing Diya and co.....
babaztee: Ottis's model is working because it is delivering the dividends of democracy and the people can see it. The three past governors who stayed and ruled Abians from the government house, what have they produced? What has the stay in government house produced all the three put together?
They should leave Otti alone and not cause any distraction for the man.
The man is working. What I see in the man is that, he has a compassionate heart and is willing to sacrifice his comfort to serve the people.
Governor Otti, I doff my hat for you. The Lord will keep you strong to do more for the people.
You are a man of the people.
This is that same fanatical talk someone said about PMB ruling Nigeria from any where he likes and your likes complained. I hope if PBAT chooses to go to his village to stay and rule Nigeria, you won't come out to complain because you'll have to show it up in thr constitution that he ought to be there in Abuja......
Its obvious this same Nigerians that frowned at a NYSC corps member being told to knell down by a principal of a school are the same people applauding a uniform military officer knelling down to give salutation to a muslim religious leader....
Make una try well well. This double standard hypocrisy will not end.
Very good. But you're supposed to tell us how impactful positively it is practically on the economy and the people.....What are the physical proofs seen that show that it's working and worth....?
This is not about age but the uniform. It's enough for him to salute him which is the traditional thing to do. If he can do prostration if he wasn't wearing any of the military uniforms.
Do you think it's also sign of respect if this same high rank officer does same for PBAT? Don't you know that's a disrespect to the uniform, which the Nigerian constitution gives power to?!!!!!
We over do things in this country and term it tradition and customs. There's no other custom in the Nigerian military other than what it is.
Only in Nigeria you see a military/para military personnel carrying hand bag of first lady of a State or carrying luggages of the the State Governor or Senator or Honourable......
bigpicture001: Not true... The highest political elected public office holder is the leader of the party, since fubara came in , he assumed leadership.. before him.. will be the senator with the highest profile in the state.. next to the state chairman...
Can such position be given to the State governor when he has no one on his side inside the APC........or do you want the followers of another person to be handed to him!!!! Do you think it will work that way?
