My question is, is there anything wrong with testing someone even without visible symptoms? This is the Prime Minister we are talking about. His health status is everyone's concern.

This virus, just like HIV, may not be detectable until they have duplicated significantly. So, the virus might be in the body, but in undetectable number.

The best bet, if you have been exposed, is to self-isolate yourself.

Going for a test simply because you have been exposed might turn out a false negative.

So, governments advice anyone who has been exposed to self-isolate themselves rather than go for testing.

You guys noticed how they tried to be unclear regarding the PM's health? They didn't actually say he tested negative. They just said he doesn't have the symptoms and therefore will not be tested. Lol. We all know he must have been tested - that's the ideal thing- and if the result was negative, they would have made it public.

He doesn't have the virus and he is in "self isolation" in the same house with his wife who's got it?

He's working hard from home, really?

Ok.

That is why it is called self-isolation.

If you have been exposed to the virus, you have to self-isolate yourself, since the virus can be asymptomatic.

Look at Ronaldo. He hasn't been tested, and has not shown any symptoms but because he has been exposed Daniele Rugani who tested positive for the virus, he is to self-isolate himself.

There are no developed countries in Africa. Libya may have a solid nuclear physics foundation, but it fails on every other parameters of development.

Moreover, all these countries' total population is not even up to the population of the South East of Nigeria.

Look at Seychelles. Just over 90,000. University of Ibadan alone has over 30,000 students.

It is very easy to govern those countries.

The Bible is the Standard ! Not Culture..
anything away from the Bible is Wrong..

Women putting on Troseur is an Abomination Just as the Bible says...

Men putting on skirt is Abomination!

It does not Matter who does it..

If the Bible says it is Wrong! It is Wrong!

The Bible never condemned trousers. As a matter of fact, the Bible did not specify what was men's clothing or women's clothing. The Bible left that for culture to decide.

Was there even trousers as at the time that verse was penned? Of course, not.

And when trousers was invented thousand of years later, both men and women have been known to wear it just as both men and women have been known to wear robes.

There are trousers made originally for women. Hope you know that? And there are unisex trousers, as well.

Now, let us look at perspective. Women trousers are hardly ever as loose fitting as men's. Do you know that these trousers can act as a barrier against rapists. Unlike skirts which make the job of the rapist much easier?

Perspective has nothing to do with what GOD says...

Soldiers are sent to the LovePeddler front to Fight the Enemies... That is a Battle.. it's a War Front!

Murder is Premeditated killing..

The Holy Bible is The Standard! Not Culture..

That's why the Bible says.

1 Cor 5:17 " If any Man be in Christ, Old things are passed away, Behold all things are become new!

You have a lot to learn, my friend.

Since the Bible is the standard, and culture is nothing, how then can you explain this verse:


A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. (Deuteronomy 22:5)

Some cultures have men wear robes. Jewish males wore earrings. What is the standard, if not culture?

Jesus wore a robe. It was not out of place for Jews to wear robes. Do you wear a robe in your own culture? In some cultures, men wear skirts. In other cultures, only women wear skirts?

So, what is the dress code according to the Bible?

What about polygamy? It was not out of place for men, even men such as Solomon, to have more than one wife. And yet God was not concerned about the number of women he married but the types of women.

As for war, soldiers go to the battlefield to kill. They don't go there to make friends. So, it is premeditated, only that under the law, it is a legitimate homicide. The Bible said "thou shalt not kill". Yet, judges are empowered to sentence people to death, and hangmen do the dirty jobs after priests have done their own part.

And remember that culture forms a part of every country's constitution. And even the Bible asks us to respect constituted authorities. So, how can you say culture does not matter? If culture does not matter, how come even the face of Christianity has changed to embrace culture and the times?

Reading the Bible one-dimensionally can cause you to have problems just like those who read the Quran in black and white.

Righteousness89:
Perspective has nothing to do with it Ma..

What he says is Either Right or Wrong!

In this Matter, He is Absolutely Right...

Not even Jesus Christ sees the world as black and white.

Some issues are a matter of perspectives.

Take for instance, murder. A Commandment says we must not kill. But what constitutes killing? Will God punish a soldier for killing on the battlefield?

It is the same with premarital sex. Many people have made mistakes because they waited till after their weddings to have sex with their spouses. We have had complaints of small dicks, extremely large dicks, impotence, frigidity, and false claims of being virgins. These are not small issues because sex is a very important aspect of the institution of matrimony. A poor sex life would ruin a marriage, and that is never God's plan for the institution of matrimony.

I have the mathematical formula to fix our electricity.

As a matter of fact, my mathematical formula can fix all of our problems.

Ur mouth no good... Mean while patience Jonathan is from rivers state, not Bayelsa...

LilPeezy:
Is patience from bayelsa? See ur head

You misunderstood him.

What he meant is that Bayelsan girls are all ugly that Jonathan must have grown up knowing only ugly girls. So, when he met Patience, he must have thought she was a beauty queen.

All these South South people with their crave for foreign sounding names.

I even saw an obituary where the man's name was Electric.

achillesfoot:
So it hasn't cleared in any body's eyes that that's an Alligator and not a Crocodile.

We don't have alligators in Africa. What we have are crocodiles.

You find alligators only in North America and Asia. As a matter of fact, there are only two major species: American and Chinese alligators.

And mind you, that croc in the OP doesn't even look like an alligator, and so I wonder how you were certain it was an alligator.

Yankiss:
Africa will always be Africa. Poor in reasoning. Why slaughter this animal? Crocos are going extinct.

Many other African countries are protecting their wildlife. You get to see them feature on NatGeo Wild, and many foreigners go there on safari.

But here in Nigeria, there are game laws, but no one enforces them. How can people kill a croc and display it on the internet without any consequences?

With the danger of climate change, we can't even address the issue of ecosystem conservation.

Don't worry.youll be fine..

Well, I will take your advice.

Most times travelling like this is not night travel
Most times they leave in the day time and the trip runs into the night

Leaving early is the solution. It covers up for situations such as burst tires or repair works that might crop up.

There parents should b blamed

Why?

They should be blamed, not their parents.

dangotesmummy:
why are you not very fine? What's wrong with you?

I had been clearing a backlog of work. It has been tiring, and so it made me sort of unwell. But, I am OK now.

Thank you for asking, my sweet wuddlywukumy pumpkin

dangotesmummy:
ok
How are you?

Not very fine, but at least I am alive

Anyway, I know you are fine, so just stay fine.

dangotesmummy:
what are you shaking your head for?

Nothing. Just greeting you.

People have been warned to avoid night travels, but some people are just destined to be lost due to their stubbornness.

The security arms have warned about night travels in certain destinations, and corps members were especially warned. But, no, it is obviously very hard for some people to take simple instruction, even if their lives depended on it.

dangotesmummy:
don't mind them.when people dey look for trouble everyone will keep quiet when a person reacts everyone will shout oppression, bullying, because he's this and that because he has money bla bla bla

SMH...

Anger destroyed two people's lives.

First of all, if Mr Lateef had only been a little bit more patient, he wouldn't be in police custody facing a murder charge.

If Mrs Landlady had also just come out when the banging continued, and gave Mr Lateef a piece of her mind before opening the said door for him, she might just still be alive.

How should they have resolved this issue? Supposing Mr Lateef indeed desperately needed to leave the house before 5:30, all he could have done was shout it rather than continue banging on the door or making threats. Many of us get angrier if someone threatens us. Maybe when Mr Lateef threatened to break down the door, Mrs Landlady decided to prove that she was more stubborn.

Mr Lateef should have just shouted, "Ma'am, please, I need to leave now. It is an emergency". Banging the door probably made the landlady resolve to teach Mr Lateef a lesson, and when he threatened to break down her door, it made her even more determined to call off his bluff.

Now, the question is: is the landlady's daughter who is now an eyewitness not strong enough to oversee the issue of opening and shutting the door?

According to her account, Mrs Landlady (her mother) was saying that Mr Lateef shouldn't have banged on the door. I am taking it that this daughter was trying to prevail on Mrs Landlady to open the door for Mr Lateef, but Mr Lateef had created a wrong impression by banging rudely on the door in the first instance. Then, Mr Lateef left with a promise to come back and break down the door.

Another question: why was Mr Lateef so angry? Had he had an altercation with the landlady before the issue in dispute? Even if Mr Lateef had an emergency, why was the need to bang on the door to show that he was in a hurry? Are there no better and more civil ways of dealing with such an issue? If Mr Lateef was indeed in a hurry, or had an emergency to deal with, how come he had enough time to escalate a simple issue? Did he think that if he broke down the door, his landlady would just hand him the keys and would not delay him by fighting him and thereby eventually wasting his time?

This is tragic.

Meninmen:
If at your age, you can't source out an information from credible sources on the net, then you should go collect your school fees back from the school you graduated from.

All what I told you was what I read long time ago and they are still on the net. If you are expecting me to go back to source that information for you, then you are not a serious fellow.

As for emirs having immunity, no they don't. But how many traditional rulers have you heard being sued in court by the govt? GEJ let the matter to be because suing Sanusi would mean he was suing the whole kano Emirate and that would have angered Kano and muslim voters and negatively affected his re-election chances.

Nawa o.

Which is easier, to share a link or to write an essay?

It is very obvious that you have been depending on hearsays. Because it is only hearsays that will be this hard for a human being to verify.

Please, before you post the next epistle, think about which is easier, a copy and paste link, or another round of epistles?

And which is more important? A link that clears all doubts or an epistle that proves absolutely nothing?

Meninmen:
.

You don't need any link. Go to Google. The information is there on credible online news outlet.

Secondly, who widely believes that the said amount went missing? Who? You? Or majority of Nigerians? Even this present govt doesn't believe such nonsense.

Thirdly, on why Sanusi was not sued. You must understand that he was quickly made Emir by Kwankwanso even b4 investigations could start. Apart from suing, he was being investigated by the FIU for financial impropriety. (Remember he gave IDP's in thr north100 million naira from the CBN confers).

You mean emirs have immunity?

Anyway, why not provide a link, at least?

I am very certain you went through school, and you ought to be used to citing information.

Antivirus92:
with this comment, i can say that u close your eyes and ears to the news u don't want to hear or see,
and open them to the ones u want to hear or see

Please, tell me when these police stations were attacked?

I have links to sources that recorded police and army camps being attacked by Boko Haram under GEJ. Even a central police station was attacked under GEJ.

Only misinformed or mischievous people will not notice a remarkable progress in the fight against terrorists.

LegendaryLover:
that is because seeing dethronement of traditional political leaders is not their job.
Their job is to teach God's Word to the people for repentance and holy living.
The day God feels like showing any political matter to them, so be it.

The ones that God showed them, which ones came to pass.

Their churches get bombed in the North, but none of them ever sees it. Even Oyedepo who likes to curse never sees the disaster until it has happened.

How can you people not see that Oyedepo and the others are scam artists?

Meninmen:
Don't come out as one who is ignorant. Who told you investigation was not carried out? The GEJ govt invited Prince and Waters (a reputable auditing firm based in the UK) to audit the NNPC accounts. After the auditing, they couldn't substantiate Sanusi's claim of missing $20 billion dollars.

Even Buhari govt Can't tell you such monies got missing. Moreover, how much is the Nigeria annual budget that $20billion dollars will just get missing. Just like that?

Karma has visited him. Simple

I need links to credible sources.

And mind you, even if it were true that an investigation exonerated the government, how come it is still widely believed that the said amount went missing?

If the government was truly innocent, how come they didn't sue Sanusi to retract an apology so as to prove their innocence?

Antivirus92:
i am amazed at ur ignorance
so during jonathan regime,boko haram were bombing markets and churches. Then in buharis regime they are attacking military camps and police stations.
if u ever have have sense at all, u will know that attacking military and police camps is way more risky and difficult than secretly planting bombs in the church disguising as one of the church members. Or hiding bombs behind women hijabs and sending them to go and blow up a market place.
It is not an improvement my friend, boko haram just upgraded their modus operandi but dumb people and sycophants cannot see that,
Till this day boko haram still have territories in the north east, they were once shown in a picture mounting road blocks with their flag boldly hoisted there,
Buhari is everything wrong in a leader,,,,incompetent, nepotic,tribalistic, religious fanatic,sectionalism ,,,,just name them

Please, I am interested in knowing when these police stations and military camps were attacked?

Cityguy:
For the sake of this discourse, let me even pretend to concede to your claim of him not paying tax. Is he a Nigerian? Is the government only for tax payers? Is he affected by their policies? Are you by any stretch of imagination saying that Nabena is more responsible than the world known Oyedepo? Who is Nabena? Oyedepo I know but who is Nabena?
My friend, you can not unequivocally say that he pays no tax as an individual. He has other businesses other than the calling as a pastor.

I merely used your own logic against you.

You wrote that Oyedepo pays tax, and so has the right to criticize.

But I have told you that Oyedepo does not pay tax, and so shouldn't criticize.

wingmanIII:
They may be half-baked [s]but are certainly baked better than what 80% of your state and federal institutions produce. Not even sure you are 1/4 baked yourself [/s]

At least, you agree that half-baked graduates cannot be regarded as a contribution to any serious country.

So, the question still stands: "What has Oyedepo contributed to this country?"

wingmanIII:
So for you the hundreds of graduates in various fields the university produce every year is no contribution to the country?
Please think before you engage your fingers to type.

So, producing hundreds of half-baked graduates is a notable contribution?

Mention one notable alumnus of Covenant University, and what contribution they have made in their fields?

Afromentalist:
Thats exactly why he is a Mentalist. How do you think the greatest kings of old got million of people to serve them willingly? From Genghis khan to Ivan the terrific? From Mose to David to Muhammad?

By convincing them you are the son / man of some God.

Oyedepo is a Brilliant Mentalist

The African Mentalist

You are right.

And it takes a lot of guts to lie to people.

I remembered during a service where I was a visiting evangelist, one of the other visiting ministers was trying to collect donations, and he began to use each of our names. For instance, he would say, "For pastor A, come out and show your appreciation to God in his life".

I couldn't easily have sat down there and let people be swindled out of their hard-earned money in my name. No, I couldn't. So, I went to the minister and whispered in his ears, "my spirit tells me that this is not right".

I mean this visitation was at a small parish in a village, and many in attendance were obviously poor. They had already collected two sets of offerings, as well as a thanksgiving offering. This is not to mention the offering for answered prayers.

Now, that I no longer pastor within organized religion, I always feel at peace. Whatever preaching I do on Nairaland, I do it free as freely as I was given. And it makes me happy that I am doing my own bit of sincerely propagating the gospel.

One needs to be heartless to become wealthy in pastoral ministry. And when those GOs tell you as a young pastor to remit this or that amount, they are indirectly forcing you to place a yoke on the church under your care.
