zotorux:if you don"t mind, leave your details in the next mention |
Jaeis:@op. I will do same, if this doesn't get resolved. PM me and also quote me when ready |
GamalNasser:I just checked your profile and most of your posts point to the same thing. Let us all search our consciences with the knowledge that not everything justifies the means with which we achieve them. Some things are worth a lot more than personal gains. |
Ariza:Nicely written. It's a long time I read such deep Yoruba. Aláròye newspaper will be proud. Well done |
Hhansome:I don't think you read through the article oo. |
ibsaq:That doesn't seem to be what is happening in reality. You didn't address any of my concerns, by the way. |
ibsaq:Do the females love it? Do the poor truly love it? How many men have been so punished? How many rich men were flogged or had amputations in Zamfara? Why is Zamfara one if the worst states in Nigeria, despite Sharia? Why are Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc so backward, while UAE, USA etc progress? I'm sure you have heard of corruption among the Saudi royals; how many of them were flogged? What has happened to the killers of Khashosgi (hope that's the spelling) . Essentially, religion should never be by compulsion (,not just in words but in action). Religion is personal, do not condemn or look down on others for having a different view. |
ADAMUdaCOWBOY:Thank you!! |
Ogilinsaka:Thank you for this. It's amazing that the people he spoke for are now in support of a man who was caught on video in less than glorifying circumstances. Why will any other person speak up for the masses? |
tsephanyah:Maybe the people who burned the singers family house should have had some patience. They could have allowed God to mete out his punishment on the offenders. Now, they have rendered some innocent people homeless and have succeeded in punishing the innocent along with the accused. |
XhosaNostra:Please, just relax and stop responding to them. Do have a nice weekend |
babyfaceafrica:He is outspoken, outstanding, intelligent and ready to make drastic changes. Unfortunately, he's too religious and highly dedicated to his religion. That's a keg of gunpowder in a multi-religious society like ours. He should continue to use his gifts and position in the best way possible, someday, it will sink into their minds and action will be taken . |
PapaBaby:It seems the company is owned by the FG oo. It is actually a FG enterprise. https://www.linkedin.com/company/galaxy-backbone/ |
comshots:Every citizen deserves the best that government can provide. Security, healthcare and education are among the basic things that a serious government should provide. This should be done regardless of the status of the citizen, whether a minister or not. My comment is not just a reaction to what happened to the minister, but a response to all that has happened to millions of Nigerians over the past few years. All lives matter, bro. |
okrote4real:Dispersed?? What happened to pursuing, overtaking and subduing them? Why didn't we have at least one of the helicopters shadowing them or attacking them? Don't we have drones anymore? FG has to get something done quick. I wish them wisdom and all that is needed |
AlhajiImam:Have you noticed that bad things tend to happen to those you call infidels and Muslims without discrimination? Is it possible that God is not interested in causing the so-called infidels to become Muslims? Afterall, he's the all powerful and can do it with just a wave of his hand. He doesn't actually need humans to achieve what he wants. It would be nice to read your thoughts. |
The combat helicopters include two Augusta 109 and one Mi-171E combat helicopters. The ceremony took place during the induction ceremony of the Nigerian Air Force’s at the state capital. The event also witnessed so many air displays and simulation exercises which focuses on rescue operations and engagement of bandits and others threats to national security. Under the Buhari administration, NAF has procured and inducted several fighter aircraft, helicopter gunships. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.channelstv.com/2020/02/06/buhari-arrives-for-induction-of-three-combat-helicopters-in-abuja/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwi08pOg8L3nAhUOC-wKHUbwBEIQFjAEegQIBBAC&usg=AOvVaw0dK6vXHK_zHOcya0ZMM4gI |
Do you deliver to Kebbi, Sokoto? |
ogbuefi677: |
Unfortunately, history was removed from the secondary school curriculum. Moreover, many youths are uninterested in reading. You will soon see people who will complain about the length of your post, asking someone in a condescending tone to summarize for them. How then do the youths learn about the past and avoid making the same mistakes their fathers made? |
Sanquine:Stop worrying about these wishful thoughts. People that know what war is never seek for more wars. Have you seen ex-buafra soldiers asking for another war? Never. One can only hope that people that preach these divisive tendencies never succeed and that the youths (who often are exuberant, quick to anger and usually fail to thoroughly analyse the consequences of their actions). They think it's a religious war when it suits them. They conveniently overlook the sacking of whole villages in Zamfara and Katsina (abi, na Christians dey there?) |
mrvitalis:How I wish Abia state government will come out to say OUK stole their money. I remember that one of the rulers of Abia state once said OUK never stole any money (that was when he was indicted in the UK or so). You will be surprised at the kind of following these people have in their respective states. |
Chibuzoc:That is not exactly what was said. As usual, our journalists or maybe in this case, the moderator has made kindergarten mistakes in publishing/posting this. The man actually touched on the porosity of virtually all Nigerian borders. Check out the statement below. It is unbelievable that an article that has this kind of statement is titled as above or that it is being bandied around as such. If we eventually down this country, our eyes go clear. We go know say, no be North versus South "“The Malabo routes are still unmanned, effort by the Navy is on Rice and Petroleum products, nothing is heard of arms smuggling which is also prevalent on water routes, from Badagry, to Epe, to Warri, to Patani, Sapele, Port Harcourt, Eket, Oron to Lokoja, down to Adamawa and Kebbi inland waterways, all with weak security”, Fadahunsi said." |
All the efforts at stopping the conference on witchcraft from holding failed. The conference went ahead as scheduled, but it was a massive departure from what the opponents had portrayed it to be. The list of presentation topics below will convince you, if you still harbour any doubts. Obviously, these topics will serve to improve our knowledge and abilities to reason critically.

Opata 2. “Which Witch? What Anthropology knows about the Adult Bugbear”—Prof. P—J. Eze READING EPHESIANS 5 [New Living Translation] 1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. 3 Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. 5 You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 6 Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. 7 Don’t participate in the things these people do. 8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. 10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. 12 It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. 13 But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, 14 for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” 15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

This is a story of tenacity, perseverance and hardwork. I will check out your post on freelaning . who knows? Congratulations!! |
Congratulations!!! But, it's significant that someone still took the pains to edit the original headline in order to include the boy's ethnicity. Well, there's still hope |
What are the VISA requirements? Average cost of airfares ? |
Nkemtreasure:Relevant information on what you seek is available online. Check the link below for further information. Also @ sapientia may be interested |
QuotaSystem:Great analysis. It is Dangote refinery, not NNPC refinery. Besides, he's not being gifted the crude oil and he still needs to grapple with existing infrastructural decay . |
Waiting for further updates. Great job, guys !! |
This is what Nigeria needs. More and more indigenous companies manufacturing things we once imported. |
Ojiofor:I hope we will all outgrow these interethnic E-wars one day. It adds nothing to either side. Meanwhile, the first name of major Nzeogu is Chukwuma. The facts are still on the internet, freely available. My comment is just to correct the error I noticed. The people who championed these coups did it for certain interests. Many of them are long gone and many even forgave each other. I wonder why this generation should continue a war they are too young to understand. |
