[color=royalblue]I am not limiting his request to Adeboye, but yes, i believe people like Adeboye should speak for their people in times like this.

This one has nothing to do with politics. Innocent people have been killed, and nobody dey talk.


He can stand with Christianity in Nigeria now, the same way he stood with Israelites that did not send him last week[/color]

Raumdeuter just showed u link to video of the standing he “stood” in the past . Perhaps he will still stand with the Benue people as well.

My own is let the elected officials too also speak out in loud voice . Let their representatives in the house of assembly speak , let their governor speak and let the security agencies take charge of the situation .

Religious leader’s influence is secondary

raumdeuter:
Adeboye has in many times in the past spoken and criticized Benue killings

examples below

Abi what does crystaltiger want again?

That was why I asked him why he expects Adeboye’s criticism. Something wey people don talk and talk about yet government no really find any lasting solution to.

Those kind things dey tire person na

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But he has a point sha.

Who made Adeboye the Security officer of UN, when he went to release a video, standing with Israel?

Whether we like it or not, these people are the "real influencers", and when they keep silent, it tells a lot on how their followers behave.

Na only in our time prophets or MOG no dey put mouth for politics. According to the Bible, almost all did. They condemned what was wrong, and made the troubles of the people known to the king and even God.

Most likely Christians were killed in Benue. As the leader of one of the largest congregations in Nigeria, and a face of Christianity in this part of the world, what will he do about it?[/color]

On the contrary , almost everyone knows Adeboye dey put mouth for politics steady . His church was even the first to have a directorate of politics . A pastor under him has been elected vice president in this country .

You can say he has his own political bias when it comes to issues he puts mouth in and those he doesn’t , but u can’t say he’s apolitical; same as Oyedepo.

That being said, I asked him why he(Crystal tigger) expects Adeboye’s press conference in particular when there are several Christian leaders , traditional religious leaders and even known atheists who may not arrange any press conference on the same matter .

One can argue that those people may be tired of putting mouth in the matter knowing fully well that the authorities will do next to nothing to prevent future occurrence . The same argument can be made for Adeboye too.

Amoto94, see your country men massacred, I await your response to this..

Even Mr Adeboye, shey RCCG no dey Benue state..I still look forward to his Press Conference..

Is Adeboye the chief security officer of Benue or Nigeria as a whole ? Why are u expecting his press conference ?

What will Adeboye’s press conference achieve if he does one ?

I believe ur expectations are misplaced . The concerned Benue people have individuals they elected at local, state and national level who should be their mouthpiece on issues that concern them. If Adeboye as RCCG pastor speaks and condemns the unfortunate incident , will u also expect condemnation of other pastors , bishops , traditional religious leaders etc whose people also are victims ?!

Some Ivy league students wrote a letter saying the Hamas killing was because of Israel

Employers have demanded that their names be released so that they can avoid hiring them led by Bill Ackman

Another group in Harvard released the names of those who signed the document

Many of the students have now started saying they didn't get their permission before signing the document
Another NYU law students president who identify as non binary had her job offer withdrawn by a top law firm because she wrote a piece supporting Hamas

All those supporters will not even survive a day in Gaza before Hamas murders them

I like how they are moving against those terrorist sympathizers in real time .

A person who would openly support the activities of a terrorist group will not hesitate to carry out the terrorism act if the opportunity presents itself .

Thank God you say your dad is a Muslim
As he shown any signs of an extremist
Let's take oasis ,pop I just learnt Mr gbola is a Muslim as any of thes guys shown any sign of an extremist
He's the only one yet we are all lying because he's moderate

I just weak for his own version of Islamic views .

I thought u were hard on him during the Deborah blasphemy issue , but the way he moves with the whole Israel-Palestine matter ehn, I just weak

DissTroy:
The only times Amoto94 has been the focus of back-and-forths in this section has been due to his extremism and outright support for terrorism.

Not for his take on gender, or footballing points, or even Nigerian politics. It's always for terrorism.

That should tell you all you need to know about him.

Somehow in his mind he thinks he’s a moderate .

Excess cruise wey dey this our country..More often than not, it's always APC..

You no well, resign, you say no..No wahala, dey your state you still say no.. Comfortably ruling your state from another state and somehow it's still being defended by people..

There's no house in the whole of Ondo State capable of sheltering Ondo State Governor..

I just hope his case will not be like that of Danbaba Suntai who was incapacitated after his unfortunate plane crash incident . The man was practically a vegetable in the mind but his political associates and his wife wanted him to hold on to power for as long as possible instead of resigning .

The man eventually resigned when the pressure was much .

This nonsense defence by Akeredolu’s spokesperson makes no sense at all. It just shows there’s more to him staying as far away as possible from the government house.

1. It appeals to low-income earners who form the vast majority of Nigerians

2. Since it contains aspirin and it is quite cheap , it is used by low income earners who drink to cure hangovers .

3. It is also used in herbal concoctions which most low-income earners find joy in taking .All those women that sell agbo , Jedi and co always sell it. Some people ask them to put it in their herbal drink or they will empty the Strachet in their mouth and wash it down with their agbo .

4. Then the number of years it has been on sale is a major factor too. Most people tend to believe a brand that has been around before the birth of their own parents is definitely tested and trusted .

Ellexy:
Ahhh

E shock u ?

Amoto94:
Don't be a mischievous quote the entire passage and the subsequent post(s) where I condemned Hamas for attacking and harming innocent people.

Well , check my reply to u on Saturday . I quoted the entire post and asked u what u wanted the international community to do but u were evasive as usual.

I only highlighted this part now because I noticed u’ve been going on and about vilifying those who support the Jewish offensive on Hamas. U make it seem as if the Jews just woke up and decided to start bombing Gaza without any care for defenseless civilians .

On the contrary the Jews before they began their offensive sounded note of warning to civilians to get away from the blast zone as far as they can . The Palestinians even confirmed they dropped leaflets warning them of imminent strike on their location.

What more do u want ? Do u want the Jews to be begging Hamas to cease fire when they have hundreds of their civilians including babies slaughtered on a day they are preparing to go to their respective worship centers ? How would u react if Muslims are preparing for Jumat on a Friday and some Christian or Jewish terrorist organization just burst out of nowhere and goes on a killing spree ?

iamoyindamola:
.
Una still never know this guy sha

Omo , I just weak !. I remember on Saturday morning after the Palestinian attack he said :

Ordinary No Man's Land that Lagos was called triggered the emotional response of some of us a while and now we are telling people who are victims of apartheid, suppression, persecution to not act in an usual manner.

I guess if the Hamas slaughtering of innocent civilian Jews is justified based on this , then we can as well agree Israel’s “un-aliving” of Palestinian civilians in retaliation is also justified .

Can u imagine ?

But if u watch only Aljazeera u will most likely think Israel just woke up on Monday just going after anybody who is Palestine and murdering them . U won’t know all of this and more had happened .

is on propaganda overdrive na so he go dey steadily drop thought-provoking quotes on Hamas , help Hamas spread their propaganda and would be evasive when called out for it.

On the other hand , the moment an Israeli propaganda is busted he will get a very huge hard-on and lecture anybody that cares to listen how the Zionists fabricate footages, twist facts over its head and set out to mislead the public on the situation of things at the war front. He would even lecture u on the best practices when it comes to international rule of engagement for military.

There is a big difference between manufacturing matches and the economics of manufacturing matches.

The economics is where the country fails to get it right.

The country manufactures products far more advanced than matches and they are exported all over West and Central Africa.

Nigeria manufactures detergents, soft drinks, beer and other alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, cement, flasks, very high quality wire and cables and so on and many are doing well.

Nigeria does not produce matches or toothpicks perhaps because the country lacks comparative advantage in them.

What may be easy for us may be hard for others. Textiles production which Nigeria finds challenging is still flourishing in Benin Republic despite the low import duty on textile and garments there. They even have a booming okrika industry.

Nigeria needs to focus resources on things it has comparative advantage in. That is what will make it prosperous.

Nigeria does not find textile production challenging rather its government’s neglect and high influx of smuggled lesser quality textiles across our borders that killed our textile industry .

I read a punch newspaper article in which the head of textile employers association mentioned that textiles of lower qualities which were imported through land borders in connivance with corrupt govt officials affected their business . The importers use polyester which is of inferior quality when compared to cotton which they (local manufacturers ) use .

So the importers sell cheaper and the local manufacturers are left with superior quality goods nobody wants to buy. That’s why u think
Textile is thriving in Benin and it looks as if they are getting it right .

The lack of stable power supply also didn’t help matters . Imagine using expensive diesel to produce goods nobody wants to buy . I remember in the late 90’s / early 00’s when we would pass through that Ilupeju industrial estate to visit some relatives around Onipanu; from Oshodi down to all those current loaction of Spar, Fountain of Life Church, etc were all filled with textile companies . Most of them left when cost of production started rising and government wasn’t doing Anything even to ensure stable power supply at least.

People dey forget fx.

Fx don 4ck everything up .

Even banks can only afford to Toyota and Honda for only top top executives. Other management staff are making do with all these Changchang , GAC, Geely and other brand of chinko cars that have flooded the Nigerian market now . Funny enough these ar foremen ruined brands are also not cheap due to same Fx

I saw a Landcruiser 2023 model invoice for a top executive of a bank earlier this year (around May or thereabouts ) and the price was N124.5m.

just bring back fuel subsidy FFS

We must learn a lesson ! 🙅‍♂️

We tell them say Tinubu na Buhari promax , dem no listen to us.

25k to be transferred to a family for 3 months; after then what next ?

How is this different from Tradermoni Buhari and Osinabjo shared ?

Is the 25k of today even worth the 10k of Buhari’s era considering time value of money, naira devaluation disguised as “floating the naira “ and subsidy removal ?

We must learn a lesson !

Good day everyone.
Thanks, thanks so much for your concern about my absence and wellbeing. To say I'm truly overwhelmed and grateful is me not doing justice to it enough. I'm truly blown away by all your gestures. God bless you all.

Actually, I'm was preparing for a promotional exam(that was early last month) so I decided to take a little time off then I'll be back but unfortunately I fell seriously ill soon after. It was severe that I had to be admitted for weeks in the hospital reason I had this prolonged absence. I thank God for life and recovery (just got discharged last week Wednesday).

I know say I missed a lot of things sha(first two UCL matches, Havertz first goal, NLD derby and Man city win). Though I was grateful to watch the full replay of our win against Man city and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Good to be back here once again and I'm really thankful to you all (I can't emphasize this enough)

Hopefully, we'll win against our London neighbors this weekend. E be like say dem don dey catch their groove back

Wonder about the processes and human cannon folders they had to sacrifice, deform and render zombie walking before they roll these drugs out

Things dey really happen for this life.. make man just pray to not be a victim of circumstance..

Better make I die jeje peacefully.. preferably on my sleep when it's my time..

This world is damn crazy.. so many shits going on incognito..

Which human did they deform before rolling out drugs? U mean the humans used for clinical trials carried out before the drugs are released ?

Those people know what they are signed up for na ; it’s not like they coerced them na . At least during the Covid-19 vaccine trials that was what happened to my little knowledge

Abo na PDP member wey decamp to APC cos he fell out with the incumbent governor

Appeal court don sack Elisha Abo from Senate ; in reaction to the judgement he called a press confrence and alleged he was sacked cos he and 4 other senators did not support the emergence of Akpabio as Senate President.

He further alleged that Orji Uzor Kalu is amongst the other 4 senators that have been marked for sack through the courts .

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyefoJsAr0a/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Why I think his allegations don’t make sense is ; why will ur party APC orchestrate ur sack through the courts knowing that ur sack will reduce the number of APC members in the senate ? ( because obviously his seat will be filled by a PDP member who contested against him )

This is troubling on so many levels and the timing couldn't have been worse.

It’s just an unforced own-goal.

At this point it’s looking like some northerners grievances are genuine as far as Tinubu’s appointments are concerned .

Some section of northerners have been complaining that while Tinubu picks the best of the best from the south while making appointments , he seem to be picking the worse the north has to offer .
