LOL! Churches these days are a joke! Everyone is only about one thing - money!

Anyone wondered why even at Redemption camp, you've got to be rich and important to guarantee yourself a "premium" seat in the front row? LOL! - churches where billions are being sought to build new auditoriums while hundreds of thousands of children die everyday from starvation?! - very Christ like you think?

Anyone wondered why no one speaks up when that stupid m0ron of a Bishop slapped and condemned a young lady who sought after salvation? WOuld the same Bishop react in the same Barbaric f00lish manner if it was Obasanjo's daughter in the place of that young lady?

Most of these churches are only a nice cover up for Fraud, nothing more!

What's with this new trend of people travelling outside of their home country to get married?

Dude is interested in having an affair with you, plain and simple! - Either that, or he's gay and wants you to be his new best friend.

Fact that you are married to his best friend only matter as much full moon in a cold summer!

If you don't feel comfortable with where this relationship might end between you and your husband's best friend, you must immediately apply same barriers you would as if he were just another stranger. Talk to him in frank, measured and polite tones. Don't start up conversations, don't offer personal information, nothing about your emotions either. Turn down requests for personal information as politely as possible - "Sorry, i am not comfortable talking to you about that, i think it is a little intrusive, why don't we talk about starvation in Somalia? Poor souls, i feel for them"


When a bloke detects that you don't trust him to offer personal information, it sets his game back a quarter mile.

Without doubt, Poverty reigns supreme in Nigeria because the average Nigerian believe more in "sowing" onto the "Man of God" and less in hardwork! LoL!

The "sow" concept is nothing other than a well packaged, modern day Christianity get rich scheme! Here is news for you, you lazy m0rons, if you don't work hard, you ain't gonna get sh*t!

Dangote, Gates, Oprah Winfery, etc, all had one thing in common, they worked hard for their bucks. You should too, you m0ron!

As usual, because the person involved is a "Man of God", the sheeple minded are here screaming "Don't let God curse you o"

How lowly have we become? It breaks my heart to continuously see and hear how fo0lishly naive Christians of these generations have let themselves become.

So here is an "MOG" who wishes to raise billions for, guess what? A new f*cking building! - Contrast that with Bill Gates who plans to dedicate most of his wealth to helping African kids fight starvation, malaria and diseases. In my mind, i know which of these two really deserve to be called a Man of God!

What is really funny is that those giving away these monies really think they are giving it to God and in return, the pastor will say a prayer for them and God will open his windows of dollars! LOL! What ignorance! You have been doing that for years, stup1d, and you are still as miserably poor as ever! -

If God's priority is building another Auditorium, and he truly is the God that made the entire world in 7 days, then i doubt he would be looking to raise billions from all sort of sources, most especially from dodgy ones!

The concept of the "Man of God" is nothing other than fraud! A man tells you he can speak to "his father" to make all your problems go away - if something happens by coincidence, he claims his father has heard you - if nothing happens at all, he claims his father will one do it one day, just be patient, and of course, just have faith!! -
The fraud of course needed to be justified, so a throng of people are allowed to come forward every sunday for "Testimonies", hallelujah, the "Man of God" is really on fire!

The fraud then becomes complete when the "Man of God" becomes omnipotent and unquestionable! "He can't be questioned" they say, "He is a man of God", they say, "Touch not my anointed" they say - and whatever the "Man of God" says must be followed to the latter by sheeple 1diots!

The other day, a m0ronic bully who doubles as the "Man of God" slapped and publicly condemned to hell fire, someone who went to him to know more about Christ!...In the right climates, one would expect outrage, or perhaps even for his criminal to be charged with physical abuse! The deafening silence, and the silent approval of his followers was a disgrace to the whole of Christianity!

Why don't you plan a quick holiday together if money isn't a problem? Somewhere very remote will be ideal, it should give her the feeling of "escaping" for a short while and you two can have a time to have some deep conversation.

Depression is a terrible thing. The best way to help someone is to show them that life is without boundaries, and with it comes endless opportunities.

ghettodreamz:

Please, kindly consult your local Pastor/Pastor Mrs on this.

Typical answer! In order words whatever your Pastor/Pastor Mrs declare a "sin" must be a sin...The same Pastor/Pastor Mrs who wouldn't mind fleecing the poor of 10% of their hard earned cash.

shior!

mazaje: There is a guy who I am really sure killed his wife here in Nigeria, they have been having serious issues, suddenly the wife a very healthy woman was said to have died 2 days ago and the reason given was that she fell in the bath room. Now people are crying. . No one is pointing accusing fingers at the husband, no police has been called in, no autopsy, nothing, as muslims the woman was buried the next day. A killer has gone away with murder in this crazy country of ours, I am very sure he killed that woman. I know there are may other similar cases as well.

When you say "very sure", either you are a witness to the alleged murder incident, or you have very credible evidence that implicates the husband in the death of the his wife. Being "very sure" just because of your sentiments/suspicions is a little silly, won't you say?


Although, on the subject matter itself, "why we don't investigate deaths in Nigeria", i believe this is merely an offshoot of the general incompetence of the Nigerian Police/Judiciary.

Same ol Same ol! just from a different person!..and trust Nigerian electorates, if they are not swayed by religious/ethnic sentiments, then they must be swayed by a whole barge of empty promises. Either one of these is guaranteed to work 95% of the time!

So this dude promises to transform Anambra to mini heaven and people here already roll out the drums - without of course asking how? "Hey, let's believe him, he is Soludo, the former CBN guv, he can be trusted" - yeah right, never mind that it was just right under his nose that the Banks became so toxic, with the likes of Akingbola and Ibru taking shareholders for a merry ride. - All along, Soludo told us our Banks were doing just fine - No, they weren't you b@satrd!

Go ahead and hand over your state to him. Feed fat on his empty dreams and promises, you never learn do you? At the end of the day, between the dog and the hen, someone will end up pretty fuked up! ....



....and i'd be here pointing my fingers - "Told ya"!

I wonder if there are people who actually believed that a python could punch a hole through the wall (with what?) and the strangle two kids (silently and both kids together?) and then the same python refuses to swallow its prey but chose to lie down quietly ... yeah right! That b@stard killed those kids and then blamed the humble snake, knowing fully well that a snake cannot defend itself in court.

I'd definitely hit that, 12 times out of 10.

Dear Durex,

You are never going to catch me alive you b@stards! And i promise to throw all the tantrums i can once i get out of this huge sack!

Best Regards,
Lil cell!

Sorry love, but the fact that a bloke promises to marry you and did not keep up with his promises does not make for an abuse. Perhaps cheating is a form of emotional abuse, but then again, that is open to moral interpretation of what is right versus what is wrong. Many will agree that someone who is yet to make legally binding marital vows to you does not owe you an obligation to be faithful - You were a consenting adult and you had the option of leaving, but you stayed because in your own words "You wanted to earn the title MRS"! - some may think this is why you choose to keep your current baby regardless.

I understand being let down, and being let down badly, but what i don't understand is the moral justification to punish someone because he cheated on you and you didn't earn the MRS title. It appears to me that you are only seeking to play the weaker gender card, only because you got the short end of the stick.

On your suicidal feelings, you really need to ask yourself if this dude that has allegedly treated you this badly is worth killing yourself for?...Or better put, if there's just one reason to kill yourself, just one reason, should it be because of this bloke that left you out to dry?

My advise here for you is to pick up the pieces of your life and move on! What does it matter who your family or friends believe? There is only one person that matters to you - and that person is YOU! You have got to realize that YOU come first, before any man, your family or your friends. Forgive yourself for being too trusting, plan for your baby and simply move on.

I understand what you mean debrief. However i don't completely agree that teaching your child to self defend with his fist when necessary is teaching him or her violence. I'm all for finding diplomatic peaceful means to resolving situations, however, diplomatic efforts without the backing of a real bite or consequence is only as useful as a chocolate teapot. - Additionally, let's face it, you can't really teach a 4 year old to use his brain to resolve a conflict. This outcome rests on the assumption that the other kid in the picture will act maturely which 9 out of 10 times will not likely be the case. A child must be taught to face his or her worst nightmare and to protect himself or herself from it by EVERY means possible!


Reporting a bully to a higher authority is an ideal thing to do, this however does not stop the behavior in most cases. The best result you will hope for is that the bully gets reprimanded by that person of higher authority, but this won't stop the child from being afraid of the bully. The worst thing that can happen to a child's development is having fear instilled in them at a very young age, especially by their peers. In some cases, this affects the child's self esteem and he may start thinking of himself as "weak" and the other person as "strong" - i would rather my child hit his bully with a stone than have him go through this.

A child must be brought up to achieve a "balanced" upbringing - without illusions of a peaceful perfect world. He must be made to understand that there wouldn't always be an authority to report to and his parents wouldn't always be there to protect him, many of the battles he will face in his adult life will have to be won by him -

The rules will be made simple enough for the child to understand.

1) Don't ever beat or hit another child that has done you no wrong
2) Don't ever laugh at or make fun of another child because of the way they look or the clothes they wear
3) If another child beats or hits you, make sure you beat him back immediately. Don't wait for your Aunty before you do this.
4) If another child threatens you, tell them you will bring your big dog to school the following day unless he or she says "sorry"
5) if anyone beats you or threatens you, you must tell me about it everyday when you get back from school

I will teach him to say "If you ever touch me again, i will come to school with my daddy's bodyguard and he will beat you with a whip"
Of course, to make sure that message is effective, i will have to pick him up the following day at school with a mai-guard wearing a military uniform and probably with my huge rottweilers in the car.


Another thing is to personally threaten the bully in the presence of his parents. - Make sure you are visibly angry when doing this, and if his parents intervene, make sure you bully the bully's parents in presence of the bully.

This is a private document. In an ideal world, you shouldn't even be in possession of such! You are ....for sharing such personal details with the entire world. This is the world wide web! If you had no respect for your brother, for fcks sake respect the child's innocence and private life. The internet does not provide the anonymous status you think it does. It wouldn't take more than 20 minutes to actually find out who you are...

A girl was flogged publicly by a military personnel because she said "He's my brother", and people here cheer that as cool? Are you all stoopid or have you all no sense of self worth at all? It appears people, even some here that were by chance educated, have grown accustomed to being dehumanized and subjected to the worst kinds of abuse from the people who ought to be putting their lives on the line to preserve yours.

It is clear, with very little doubt, that the ones who approve of such treatment are not only blindly ignorant, but are completely dead to any sort of civilization. Such persons, are programmed to living in the 20th century, when man was little better than animals.

Acceptance of such abuse being meted out, regardless on whom, is one of the clearest evidence yet that most Nigerians do not regard themselves much as being humans who deserve to be treated equally and with respect and even the slightest form of dignity. Perhaps something to do with the slave gene? who knows! in the UK, even a mad dog gets treated with more dignity!

thoth:

I am shocked. that's all i will say.

If this is all you've got to say, it's either you don't have any intelligent rebuttals, or you finally reasoned - although a little ashamed to admit it - that proposals to have one gigantic African army is not only idi0tic, but also wasteful.

panafrican: Misplaced priorities and big mistakes too. Just learn from at least what went on recently in Libya. There, Gaddafi built ultra modern infrastructure, gave free health care to the people and fed his people. What happened? his country was invaded, destroyed and he was killed.

Still a misplaced priority, regardless!

Again, people here must understand that you don't just wake up one morning and say "Hey, let's build an army"

1) Such goals must be tied towards an objective - a common enemy - which by all counts, Africa doesn't have one! Feel free to cite Libya all you want, but there are good chances that Africa will not need to defend itself in a major external conflict against a major player, requiring the use of such an Army in the next one or two decades. why spend trillions over the next decade or so on a farce which no one really needs - while the economies of individual countries continue to be untapped, under developed and languishing? Why spend such huge sums propping up an army when more than three quarters of Africans continue to live well below the poverty threshold? What is the threat and why is such a move even Justified? The only objective I read here seems to border on braggadocio!


2) Such goals must have willing and able partners - of which there aren't many! You need partners you can trust and who have existing means - financial and technology - of which there aren't any, and a common threat - of which, again there aren't any! Not many countries in Africa has the financial muscle to contribute anything meaningful to such an alliance, the funding of such will eventually fall on the shoulders of countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Algeria and Angola. - So explain to me, how much exactly should Nigerian taxpayers be paying to fund the security of say Rwanda for instance, when we can't even afford to light our own homes for the past 60 years and our children go to school in pitiable conditions?

3) Military alliance don't work because "We all love each other so much and we live in the same continent" - The questions really is, "what's in it for me ?" For instance, NATO only admitted Iceland as a member of the alliance because of its strategic position on the world map, not because of its military. Figure out why there's no EU army yet? or even on the cards? It's quite simple really, Nigeria has very little to gain from forming alliance with a bunch of African countries who can hardly pull their pants together when we can simply pitch our tents with a Superpower and then use the resources we could have spent on such an adventure, developing our own infrastructures instead.

4) Some ret@rd here thinks Nigeria made a mistake to have refused North Korea's offer of nuclear missiles. We are a country who after decades of independence, haven't developed the will to maintain basic infrastructures. Our roads are in shambles, our airport premises stink..and even public schools across the country are a shame to even look at! How the f*ck is a country who can't manage it's own telecommunications (NITEL) manage a nuclear weapons program? Hang on a sec, bragging rights asides, why does anyone, rational enough think we need such destructive weapons in our homeland? India has an enemy - Pakistan, so they both seek means to deter each other. North Korea vs USA. China vs USA. Russia Vs NATO. Israel vs Rest of the middle east. Much of these countries have experienced actual or near military conflicts in the past and they believe they face an existential terminal threat should they not have such military deterrence. Unless someone can explain to me why Nigeria needs to own such dirty weapons on its own soil, i would assume the initial argument/reasoning came from a senile individual.
There is a reason why most countries are moving far away from hoisting nuclear missiles on their own soil and instead opt for submarine based weapons. Nuclear weapons on your own soil, is an existential threat against your own people too, you idi0ts! Nigeria does not and has not had any need for such offensive weapons. What we need is an agile well trained force that responds quickly and intelligently to internal challenges such as Boko Haram and insidious kidnappings.

The ret@rd also thinks you need nuclear weapons to protect your rights to progress. what a tool! After the world war, Japan rose to become the second biggest economy in the world (now the third biggest) and it did so even while keeping its agreement never to have an offensive military strike capability. As usual, ret@rds are quick to blame an "invisible" enemy on their own shortfalls. The most hilarious bit is that this dude even went on to say this:


"Do you know that as far as 1968 Biafrans almost built a nuclear weapon and if not by the efforts of CIA and MI6 the Nigerian civil war would have been a Nuclear war ?"

Let's ignore that this statement must be false - anyone with a quarter brain knows that you need to either have a nuclear reactor or have someone sell you high grade nuclear enriched materials to pull off such - what i wanted to focus on is the fact that this ret@rd thinks in his head that even though we somehow require foreign intervention to prevent us from nuking each other, we still have the maturity it takes to keep such weapons in our arsenal.

Without doubt, Africa has everything it needs. Talented and hard working people - and rich natural resources/ agro lands. A strong alliance should be formed with an objective to develop such talents/resources, improve infrastructures, promote economic ties, reduce barriers to trade, combat ethic wars/divisions, combat raging disease,poverty and malnutrition, combat corruption & human rights violation, combat use of child soldiers and provide a true home/future for Africa's children. - These are the wars that we need to fight, not some imagined foreign enemy and certainly no need for a pointless military adventure.

I will do her, 10 out of 9 times. Definitely my fav

Misplaced Priorities.

It's either everyone here is incongnisant to the level of infrastructural decadence that is somewhat pandemic across the entire African continent, or this thread is just some plain waste of time and space.

You don't build a strong military on nothing, stoopid! If there's ever any need for African countries to unite, it should be towards building new infrastructures/maintaining existing ones, tackling endemic corruption in individual countries, battling the ever raging poverty and disease, solving economic decadence and improving multilateral trade ties.

A one strong African military goal should be the least of the topics up for consideration. Not only is it expensive and pointless, it takes away all the resources needed to battle the most pressing problems savaging individual countries across the continent. So we spend 10 billion dollars on military, but we can't even scream "Up Nepa" in our homes? Your children and their children's children will curse you forever if you did. Even China has only recently revamped it's military spending, after it's economy, infrastructure, and technology are sorted out. It's really that simple, you don't put the cart before the horse.

Additional, the dreamers of this thread seem to conveniently ignore the funding of such military adventure....frying a pig, they say is a delightful thought, paying for a pig, is otherwise a nightmare.

Someone here even made a joke (it couldn't have been a well thought statement) about threatening other countries with withdrawing commodity supplies, so we can gain access to their own technology. Exactly how does that work? So, let's assume the US has just spent 750 million dollars researching the use of laser beams in warfare, you are simply going to walk up to Uncle Sam and say "Hey, us Africans have just decided that if you need access to our cocoa, you must share your technology with us" ....Guess where Uncle Sam will tell you to shove your cocoa?

Eso wrote about a case that came before him when he was a magistrate in the 60s. A mystery gunman had invaded the radio house in Ibadan.The people of the western region were waiting for a very important broadcast by the premier,Mr. Ladoke Akintola.

Security men surrounded the radio station but it was only a gimmick.The Premier already prepared a recorded speech that would be broadcast that day. When it was time to broadcast the premier’s speech,a ‘mystery gunman’ came out of no where and held the studio manager hostage.He pointed a gun at him and exchange the speech with his own.

The gunman also ordered him to play his own tape.When he did,it was a complete embarrassment to the Premier and his government. The speech ‘abused’ religious and political leaders for not having the interest of the people at heart. Durning investigation,a young lecturer,Mr. Wole Soyinka was arrested and put for trial as the ‘mystery gunman’.



Soyinka - tearing corrupt governments apart since the 60s!

Koffiman:

And you think Harvard will offer such a public nuisance an appointment. For ur info, his type of African literature is not studied in Most foreign countries. School children in foreign countries do not read his literatures both at home and in school. He is only relevant and popular in Nigerian and there4, shoud try and preserve that honor ang glory rather than being an embarrasment to his admirers.

Havard gives out its Honorary degree to people who are of a rare breed - and Wole Soyinka is one. Havard will kill to have him teach their students or lead a faculty. He is a man you only find in 10 million births.

In a different world, Hippopotamus and his retardeen husband are not fit to polish Kongi's shoes.

Koffiman:

Sharaap! Ur Wole is nothing but a local champion who seeks to be relevant again this tme with his diarrhoea mouth rather the pen. Real intellectual people are busy out there contributing brilliant ideas and delivering seminars on how to better the world. What we have here is Wole freguenting Rivers State to forment trouble and bad blood among the leaders in return for money. How does he expect us respect him when he has chosen to become a public nuisance.

A local champion? Wole Soyinka we know, Who is your daddy? and who is his own daddy?

akpomeme: It is laughable for Prof. Wole Soyinka; a well-respected Statesman to demystify the grandeur of his personality on the basis of “standing on the side of truth” one too many times, on utterly whimsical state of affairs in Rivers state.

It is astonishing that such a man with seeming repute for knowledge and wisdom in socio-political affairs of Nigeria can no longer differentiate between personal attacks and elderly advice to our nation state.

Personal attacks in the sense that in a frail where Patience seems to be one of too many male players in the Rivers state crisis, Prof. Soyinka singled out the first lady to trash. Amaechi, who ordered the violent maiming of another Honourable member is yet berated by our selective elder statesman “Wole Soyinka”.

More so, as an elder statesman, his advice should have played a key role towards uniting warring factions than dividing Nigerians who may or may not have qualms with the utterances of the “Mad Old Professor -MOP” (Tweet by Dictator’s Daughter,July, 2013). Without remorse, the MOP went ahead to reiterate his earlier statement which brought about criticism of his perceived chauvinistic statement against the Girl Child and the Nigerian Woman.

In the MOP’s own words “People said I call her a domestic appendage, what’s the problem with that? What’s the problem with Madam Shepopotamus? The questions yet unanswered are: Who were Wole Soyinka’s wives? What were their experience as wives and mothers whilst being a domestic appendage to the MOP. Why do they all share a common history of being married and divorced to the “Mad Old Professor”?

The deliberate attempt by the MOP to do the cleaning of dirty politics played through his demeaning conjectural use of words against the first lady is very unbecoming of statesman. Indeed, the fickleness is worrisome. In an already divided entity such as ours, where ethnicity, religion and regions play a huge role in our political views, the MOP has added a new twist of sexism and thoughtless fancy utterances in order to satisfy his benefactors.

In my opinion, his lend voice so far, has been more entertaining than making any positive impact on the society. The correlation between the first lady’s actions and her physical attributes are two different issues but in the quest for buzzy headlines and less about being a father to warring factions, the MOP has demonstrated that he cannot be taken more seriously than the words associated to him. It takes a He-popotamus to know a She-popotamus.

You are not in that League of those who are fit to make a "harsh critique" of Wole Soyinka!

Kongi is a lone voice - a rare badger! He stood and fought the crazy military rulers - both with his might and his pen. Those long days when your fathers and grandfathers hid underneath their beds - Kongi was out there, doing what he knew to do best - fight for posterity!


Where are your fathers? Where are your grandfathers? Who are they? No one knows them, if alive, they are just one of the several millions of Nigerians who came, saw and did nothing - Kongi is still here - bless his soul - doing what he knows best, fighting!

Fighting an utterly shameful and spineless corrupt government, led by a President and a Sheppopotamus wife who are so drunk with power, they now make an @ss out of themselves! They will be gone soon like those before them, and posterity will remember them only very little - Kongi, however remains a badger, someone who came, saw and fought with all his might!

He is 79 and full of wisdom. If he wanted, he could choose to pick up mouth watering appointment from the likes of Harvard and Wharton who will fall over themselves to have him. But he's a badger, his love for his homeland is unquestionable. He's shed his blood, tears and sweat for his country, posterity will reward him well for than.

You are not in the league of those who can make a "harsh critique" of Kongi. Not you, not your President nor the buffalo he married. You should do something worthwhile with your life. Don't follow the paths of your fathers or grandfathers whom we know not. Follow the path of the "mad professor" and posterity will write books about you!

Just curious, were you handed over as a gift to this dude?

A Shy college teacher: Never been able to rid myself of this childhood Fetish.

DailyNews: wow Shymmex, u are winning more followers o with ur carefully selected English grammar and vocabs

It is easier typed than said believe me, none of u criticising Dame Patience can stand a gathering of 10 people and make a correct sentence, I repeat!!!

Professor Wole Soyinka and wife will continue to be subjects to Goodluck and wife whether they like it or not, whether Dame speak pidgin o, broken o or Okirika dialect o, she is still the number one woman in the whole of Nigeria! A position Turai Yaradua swore she would never see, and right now she is sitting on it gidigba...in fact, she needs to start speaking pidgin and okirika for u people self, if u can't comprehend her, u go and hire an interpreter

Subjects to who? King Goodluck or President Goodluck?

Kongi commands the respect of those who command Goodluck's respect. You don't put Wole Soyinka in the same circles as Goodluck Jonnathan, you simply don't! Kongi is a Legend, Jonathan and his wife are forgettable. Turai was the first lady before Patience, she was just as arrogant, power drunk, meddling and silly albeit she speaks better English and more presentable. Hardly does anyone ever make mention of her today, wonder why? She's forgettable! Patience is simply the woman fcking the President, a couple of more years and she will be just about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
