kefmawin: I think the moderators here are up to something by their unreasonable repetition of what has since been laid to rest.
I smell foul in this whole discussion.
Even though I do not encourage people to exalt a denomination, I must say that this looks like a calculated attempt to rubbish a church that sincerely follows the word of God to the best of their understanding irrespective of who is hurt. Though we may all have our different views.

This thread was earlier discussed on this link :
https://www.nairaland.com/1341869/pastor-kumuyis-son-apologises-deeper-life/18

Here many comments were made which should have ended this matter. I sense mischief and it seems Nairaland specializes in posing affronts to the ministers of God and the church of the Living God.

Remember you may answer for everything you say or do.
The so-called christians who take delight in all these and bring up threads that encourage others who no nothing about the christian faith to blaspheme should beware as this is not healthy for their spiritual and physical well being.

What is the purpose of bringing up this discussion again after it has been trashed out on the below link? :
https://www.nairaland.com/1341869/pastor-kumuyis-son-apologises-deeper-life/18

Could this be joblessness or calculated attempt to defame a church known for their emphasis on The totality of the word and Holiness without which no man shall see God?

Enough of this absurdity.
The most important thing is for everyone of us to evaluate our personal stand with God. Should you get to the end of your life here on earth where will you spend your eternity?

The one who go to church and still practices sin is doomed (Revelation 21:8,27; Ephesians 5:3-7 ).
The one who is wise will examine himself and where in doubt quickly repent and accept His grace and mercy by putting faith in Christ for real salvation and life transformation.

Be wise friends so that you do not begin to cry for mercy when it is too late. This is the day of salvation. Let the scorners and scoffers continue but time shall tell.

Love you all

Omo, you are a smart dude

Its amazing how people dont read and more shocking is the number of people that
dont read compared to those that read and comprehend.

The 2 stories are perfectly the same just the use of words made the difference.
So many illiterates online these days and that is why Nigerians fail woefully.

Smae stories can appear on NL and also on Yahoo news. go read the comments. You will see amazing differences

The same thing you see all over FB. What is happening to my country abeg

B737NG: I seriously doubt the veracity of this claim, it smacks of prevarication and uniformed bias. Once an aircraft is past V1(Decision Speed) and has reached Vr(Rotation Speed), it MUST take off no matter the severity of any malfunction it might be experiencing as attempting a RTO(rejected take off) at that point would almost certainly result in a runway overun.
A MD-83(the aircraft which makes up dana's fleet) needs at least 6000feet to reach rotation speed at an average weight of about 145,000 pounds. The runway it took off from, runway 18L is 9000feet; so suggesting it was able to come to a complete stop after lift off within a distance of just 3000feet is absolutely ludicrous.

deekseen: This Michael Nwabor guy has been making bogus claims in mail letters he sends me. He's been on with it for some years now but i am yet to try him. I replied him once but didn't get a response from him, and that didn't stop the flow of his letters. Anyone who has had dealings with him should let us know if he is real or not.

LEvuls: are u alright?

yuzedo: Yes it is true. My letter reads thus:

Dear Polycarp Sweetus Jnr,

Congrats on this appointment as the Oga at the middle of NIMC. Your salary is N1,000,000,000 a month, and you are entitled to 6-month leave, twice a year.

You also have one official Prado jeep from Gov. Akpabio and a sports-car from David Mark. Official duplex (with sweet calabar housegeh, big brezz, big nyash, slim waist, ice-cream thighs) and can resume whenever you feel like.

If you accept the terms of this offer, please sign here and here. Thank you for choosing our organisation.

Signed, Topmost OGA of NIMC.

Should i accept? I already have job somewhere with these conditions except sweet housegeh. Pls advice.

olushowunm: @Op... Itz easy, you just need to have 2 accounts confirmed, one is your domicilliary account and a foreign brokerage account if you are small time investor, but if you have upto $100k and above to invest, consider registering a trust in Guarnsey or Jersey or Cayman Island, then establish a banking relationship with a offshore bank and brokerage firm, this is to save you on tax and exempt you from any tax coming from Nigeria. Also, you may be presented with diverse opportunities such as margin as low as 25% in places like switzerland, and don't get me wrong here, you can have swiss broker and still buy us stocks.
Also, you have opportunities of investing in derivatives such as puts and calls to cover your market positions thus having what i called "Stock market Insurance"...
You can also get involve in derivatives without having to buy the stocks and this can get you about 10% margin instead of standard 50% margin offered in US through Regulation T...
I can explain more if you wish to learn more!

bigx: Congrats Mr Steve Oyedepo

Maxymilliano: Summary of some APC points of action:

There is no country in the world that has made the transition from a poor and underdeveloped country to a rich developed country without industrialization. The new era that we must enter now has to embrace industrialization across the key sectors of our economy.

Through industrialization we can significantly transform our agriculture, information and communication technology and knowledge-based industries

No country in the world has become food secure by using traditional hoes, cutlasses and depending solely on rain-fed agriculture. We must make the shift to mechanized agriculture and irrigation watered agriculture for all-year farming.

We must also make an urgent departure from subsistent agriculture to large scale commercial agriculture with aview to attaining self-sufficiency in food production; agro-industrialization; infrastructural development for storage, processing and marketing agro-produce.

For these, a National Irrigation Schemes shall be provided; small-scale dams rather than large dams shall be constructed to avoid displacing small-scale farmers.

Communities shall be aided by Government matching grants to construct dams to provide irrigated water for all-year-round agriculture. In supplementing our protein needs, Aqua-culture shall form the cornerstone of protein improvement programme.

Actually, the APC has a comprehensive and to a large extent, radical interventionplans for the extractive industry, transportation and communication with emphasis on the overhauling of the air transport system, re-establishing the national carrier to be private sector-operated, incorporating global best safety practises.

The Party will invest in the rail component of the urban Mass Transit System ; and will not only continue with the process of revamping the railways but would also make funds available for purchasing of new rolling stocks and refurbishing of existing ones. Major agricultural and industrial parts of the country hitherto not reached by rail lines shall be effectively linked for ease of access and transportation of persons, goods and services.

Distinguished Ladies and gentlemen, may I crave your indulgence to put in perspective a few issues of misrepresentation being bandied around by the merger group, apparently occasioned by some form of inexplicable ignorance.

With desperation that blinds objectivity, the Coalition of three political parties has flung at us as many allegations and fraudulent assertions as they could lay their hands on, even on matters as straight forward as basic constitutional requirement for registration of political parties.

1. They said we did not apply to INEC for registration:

First and foremost, we applied to INEC through a lawyer, whose services we retained and our letter was duly submitted to INEC. Subsequent to that, we got a reply from INEC stipulating requirements and preconditions for registration (Display letter).

2. They said we have not paid a kobo of the processing fee to INEC, the precondition for processing an application:

Contrary to the hallucinations of the Merger group, within the period we paid the N1million administrative and processing fee stipulated by the Commission. (Display receipts).

3. They said we are faceless:

Actually, we would have engaged them long ago, but we had work to do! And since they found it more rewarding idling away on the pages of newspaper, we let them enjoy their sports while we pursued an aspiration we had held so dear and close for the greater part of two years now.

Today we have submitted the long list of requirements as prescribed by INEC and have completed the constitutional demand on us for registration as a political party.

Accordingly, INEC has duly acknowledged our submission and this is the INEC endorsed letter to that effect (Display).

So ladies and gentlemen, we can now get down to specifics:

Has the Merger group submitted any application or registration material to INEC?

The answer is NO!

Does the noisy grandstanding and in the words of Lai Mohammed, ‘constructive knowledge’ or public knowledge of the Merger group translate to application or advancing registration materials to INEC?

The answer is NO!

Can a party which has shown a total lack of capacity in taking care of the least basic responsibility in the process; for a political association that seeks registration be taken serious beyond their worth in the news stands?

And the answer is NO!

If the Merger Group was sincere in the quest for an alternative platform for Nigerians, they should have settled down to build it. But of course, they cannot because they are used to BUYING IT! Now their frustration has found the usual outlet in name-calling and wolf-calls; all of which amounts to unproductive brinkmanship that does not and can never translate to registration of a political party.

We wish to remind you that when the Merger group claimed and announced our Acronym ‘APC’ for their party, we were compelled to react but an emergency meeting of the party was all that it took to come to terms with reality. And we reasoned: The Merger group has all the funds and connections to fast track their registration at our detriment, and with their unlimited media space, justify such action no matter how loud we protested.

We had no legal claim to the acronym.

And that is the message we have for all those that feel threatened by our emergence: No one has any legal claim to an acronym without fulfilling the stipulated constitutional procedures and requirements!

As a party we want the APC to be our bridge to the future, shedding our infatuation with the past

TODAY, WE CALLED YOU ALL HERE TO INFORM YOU OF OUR COMPLETION OF THE REQUIRED CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL PROCESS FOR REGISTRATION OF A POLITICAL PARTY. AS YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE WE HAVE OFFICIALLY OPENED OUR NATIONAL HQRS FROM WHERE,WE ARE ADDRESSING YOU TODAY. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY FILLED OUR APPLICATION AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 78 OF THE ELECTORAL ACT IN THE FORM OF FORM PA.1 (SHOW COPY).

WE HAVE EQUALLY PAID ALL THE PROCESING FEES FOR REGISTRATION, PROVIDED OUR NATIONAL OFFICE AND OFFICERS, PRODUCED OUR MANIFESTO, OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR LOGO, FLAG, EMBLEM. ETC, COPIES OF WHICH WE HAVE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS.

NOW THE FACTS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. WE ARE WAITING TO BE ISSUED OUR CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION IN THE COMING DAYS BY INEC IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE ELECTORAL ACT.

We have a firm resolve to fast-track the reform of the education sector. There is no precedent in history, where a country has made the transition to a rich and modern society without a critical mass of the population becoming qualitatively literate and numerate. The Far East countries that are now the models we want to emulate in our Vision 20:2020 have made sure that transition to high school is over 95% in the last 45 years or so. We can make it happen with relevant and qualitative intervention in our education sector and providing wider latitude for technical education.

Even more, we shall accelerate the resolution of problems and challenges in our education sector, including providing opportunities to young people out of school to access the necessary training and retraining opportunities for a new industrial economy.

This is so because the APC views education as a cardinal social objective that must be pursued vigorously by the state. It is an important social instrument for national enlightenment and unity amongst the diverse peoples of Nigeria.

In conformity with the provisions of the Constitution the APC shall pursue a foreign policy of mutual co-existence through bilateral and multilateral agreements. APC government shall observe international conventions and obligations of regional and international organizations of which Nigeria is signatory to.

While focusing on Africa and the third World as the center piece of Nigeria’s foreign policy, the APC government would resist imperial re-colonialism, discrimination and all forms of undue external interference.

We shall deploy the politics and economic instrument of diplomacy as our standard foreign policy strategy.

We shall vigorously pursue our brand of Citizenship Diplomacy that is centred solely on protecting the interest of Nigerian citizens wherever they may be around the world.

Suffice it to say that an APC-led federal government would not sit to negotiate bilateral relations with any nation where as much as one Nigerian citizen is abused or unjustly deprived, until such anomaly is redressed.

Details of our policy plan are contained in our manifesto, however, be assured that we are clear about the points of action and areas of action we seek to pursue. And indeed, we will take action – not just talk.

And like Margaret Mead most succinctly put it, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

So fellow Nigerians, and especially young Nigerians, this is the time to take charge of our destiny. We bring you the people’s alternative, the future of Nigeria and the future of Africa. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you… your party… the APC, AFRICAN PEOPLE’S CONGRESS.

Thank you all and God bless!

calabaman: From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
red that in the process to avert falling into the river, the tanker driver hoped the motorcycles in front would give it support. The incident, which happened about 7:30 a.m., immediately caused a huge traffic gridlock as motorists going to Jigawa State or at least five other states could not continue their journey. Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in the state, Alhaji Zaki Alkali, told Sunday Sun that his officers were immediately deployed to the scene of the accident and had to divert motorists to a yet-to-be completed road. It was also gathered that officers of the Fire Service in the state battled for five hours to put out the inferno. Although they eventually succeeded, the tanker was till dripping oil when Sunday Sun visited the scene, even as commuters were seen very close to the burnt tanker.

Alhaji Alkali said the next line of action was to find a way to tow the burnt tanker off the road so that normal vehicular passage would resume given the significance of the expressway as the only exit route to a number of states. He blamed the accident on over-speeding, adding that there was no human casualty from the accident..

st donbosco: I don't really know much about this story but I must say frankly that the first day I went to Faith Terbanacle & was opportuned to be laid a hand on my forehead by Bishop Oyedepo, three miracle happened to me on that faithful day. Am a staunch catholic, mind you but I honestly believe he is a man of God. Besides he is not the only influential & wealthy pastor. Almost all of them are.

misterme: You are lucky sir. This is not abuse. If you want see invectives come close to my wife. When she starts it on everybody and everything. And it happens every two to three weeks. She says un-printable things to me. She uses everything she knows about me both good and bad to abuse me. She curses and abuses my mum and my siblings using everything she know about them. She calls us all kinds of name. Most times I keep quiet because I cannot match her verbal ability. My mum she abuses is even in the US with some my siblings. She NEVER apologizes. She never says I am sorry. As a result the level of anger and bitterness in this marriage is killing. Without doubt the marriage is heading for the rocks. Her mother and siblings have talked to countless number of times but she does not change. She is 7th in a family of 9 siblings. Many women complain about physical abuse and they are right. Physical abuse is wrong. In our 4 and half years of marriage with the bi-weekly abuse I have never raised my hand on my wife. I don't intend to. But do you know that verbal abuse can be even more destructive for a man. It seeks reduce and eventually destroy the self esteem of the man. If a man allows an abusive woman to succeed in this the man is finished. Do you know how much spiritual and mental exercise I do to exorcise my mind of the evil debris of bitterness, anger and hatred this woman deposits in my mind. Do you know how much this used to affect my work before I started these exercises. Even with these efforts I still struggle. I think the only way out is to end the marriage. One of her elder sisters has even given me this advice. The problem is that we have two boys- 3 years and 2 weeks. The abuse since she delivered two weeks ago has been horrible. At some point my brother-in-law who is a medical doctor suggested that I should take her to hospital to check if she has post partum depression coupled with possible psychosis. I suggested this to my wife (who Inow find very difficult to call my wife) and all heal was set loose. Boy I am tired of typing. I am in a bus returning from Onitsha to Port Harcourt. The Owerrinta-Aba-Port Harcout section of the road is very bad. I can't hold up the Transformer well
