Nonsense and Soludo.

OP please ask him to allow that old man, Igwe Aguluezechukwu, to enjoy his Ofalla festival, presently taking place in peace. The Igwe should be the among the oldest people in Nigeria as a whole, and probably the longest serving monarch after that if Nnewi, Igwe Orizu in Anambra state.

Thank you.

By the way, what stops you from relocating to either your own state/town or village? Is it that there is no food, or no jobs there?

Again, where will you get your phones, laptops, electronics, building materials, car parts, plates, spoons, cooking utensils, drugs, shelter, electricals/electrical parts, boxers, shirts, female dresses, etc, from?

To add to it, he has also resigned as a member of the house, hence he has no locus standi to sue again as a former member of the Rivers House Assembly.
However the aggrieved party here is PDP. Rivers state is getting involved in a constitutional matter. The law remains that they former lawmakers no longer have seats. The matter will get to the supreme Court because APC is the beneficiary and in control. Whichever way the try to meander through, Amaewhule and co are not legitimate anymore.

Alaba market has been closed since the 24th of December. Reopening date is 8th of January when a few of the traders would have returned. Now you can see that for two weeks, no business. No buying, no selling. Vehicles drive freely on that road. Those who do business in Alaba international must be grieving the delay. Meanwhile full business will resume just before the end of January. Traders are enjoying their holiday, their hard earned money, collecting chieftaincy titles, marrying wives, visiting family and friends, wining/dining inspite of all the federal government induced stress.

Na who lose pass?

Wawelexy:
"He has lost contact with his siblings since he claimed to have left his home town for Lagos State over 40 years ago.


He made no attempt to look for his relatives for good 40years? Also, how can a woman be comfortable with a man who she knows none of his relatives, to the extent of getting married and bearing kids for him.... Well, maybe he's got some dough...... His relatives won't do what that woman he called wife had done to him... They only stay when things are Rossy, they stop giving a F when troubles shows up.... I pity those men who do "Me and my wife alone"... No friends, no family...


The hospital management should ask if he's got some properties since he could talk...
That “lost contact” was one very painful part of the story. He probably disconnected with his family because of the same woman. His siblings probably warned him against the relationship and he stubbornly went ahead. The result is this story of woman termed “fair weather friend”.

Hopefully his siblings can see him and help him out. Thanks to the hospital for helping him.

A person doesnt need to have a million dollars before they give. Likewise, a person doesnt need to give millions before a perceptive person can tell their level of generosity. A person's generosity isn't measured just by the fiscal amount they give, rather it's measured by how much they are willing to give in relation to their worth.

You seem to be trying to paint a picture that Nigerian churches are poor, are you for real? Nigerian churches that are listed as one of the richest religious organisations in the world? ...

Can't even believe this is up for argument, it's general knowledge that most foreign churches and Christian ministries are far more generous and charitable than the Nigerian counterparts. And NO this has nothing to do with the financial strength of the churches; it's more about the willingness to give.

Atiku elevated him. But Abacha brought out when he worked for the "thieving" General while other were fighting for democracy. By the way, why is Obi hiding his University result? He only used his WAEC to contest.
How did Atiku elevate Obi please?
Do you want to say that Obasanjo elevated Atiku in 1999?

By the way, so you are part of those who cannot afford the charge for transport by bus to Obi's University for verification? Do you need transport fare? Atiku hired lawyers and paid airfares to and fro USA. You do not need that, except you want to show publicly how Tinubu's strange economic policies affect you too.

Nigerians are generous no doubt, but I wouldn't know about Nigerians being one of the best givers in the world.

Regarding the subject, we're referring to Nigerian churches, not necessarily Nigerian individuals; the focus here is on the level of charity giving by Nigerian churches compared with non-Nigerian (mainly white populated) churches. Just to clarify something, the level of charity giving has absolutely nothing to do with the economy of the country.

I live in the UK and have attended numerous 'oyibo' and Nigerian churches. I belong to a Nigerian church family that does a decent level of charity giving to the community every single week. But I wouldn't see 'black' and call it 'white' for the sake of patriotism.... Truth is that in general, there's absolutely no ground for comparison between the level of charity giving by oyibo churches vs. Nigerian churches. The report is also similar from several friends and family in Canada. It's also ironic that in these oyibo churches, they rarely even call for members to give, as opposed to how things are in Nigerian churches abroad.
Certainly the level of giving is dictated by what one has in his pocket/purse/account. Our economy is a great decider of the level of our spending or giving. That's easily verifiable.

Again, I am bold to say that Nigerians are among the biggest and confident people in the world. Infact in the eighties, there were two groups of people well respected in the UK for their abilities to give or spend...the Arabs and Nigerians.

My point has been that churches are populated by people. Again, the financial abilities of the churches defer. Added to that is that there certainly is a gulf in the financial abilities of churches in both countries. However, giving is of the mind. Again is the fact that churches are able to give on the basis of their income, basically donated by people.

So for me, whether they are "oyibo churches" or Nigerian churches, they generally have their legitimate sources of income, through which they are able to render such charity works. Those sources or income are centered on the people, who are either members of the church or others interested in helping the church financially.

OP got me agitated when he seemed to look down on churches in Nigeria.

LMAO. He can make reference to Wike vowing never to leave PDP but conveniently forgot to mention that the same "PitObi" he's championing today also vowed never to leave APGA.

That aside, LP hasn't even played "opposition" politics for up to 3yrs & they think they've arrived; if not for PDP & Atiku Abubakar especially, who brought Peter Obi to national consciousness, he would've have remained in political obscurity.

Finally, a party with only 1 governor & a handful of federal lawmakers cannot elevate itself to the height of "main opposition" in Nigeria; if we're to go by realities on ground, Atiku Abubakar & PDP are the leading opposition followed by others.
“ if not for PDP & Atiku Abubakar especially, who brought Peter Obi to national consciousness, he would've have remained in political obscurity”.

Atiku brought Peter Obi to national consciousness?

HOW DID THIS DUDE GRADUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA NSUKKA WITH A DEGREE IN LAW?

In his interview, he claimed that Tinubu copied Peter Obi's seven-point agenda from Peter Obi's manifesto. Tinubu released his renewed hope manifesto on 20th October 2022 while Peter Obi released a rushed document around 27th October 2022. So how did Tinubu copy Obi's manifesto?

Secondly, he argued that PDP "does not exist in the political realm of Nigeria as at today". This one is an obvious lie, because PDP is the main opposition party. Kenneth Okonkwo argued that Labour Party is the main opposition party.

How?

he further claimed that Peter Obi has the template to move the country from consumption to production. Peter Obi held the forte for 8 years in Anambra State. What is Anambra producting due to Peter Obi's influence?

On being asked if there are other forces to hold the opposition in Labour Party, he claimed that with Peter Obi in front, every one will fall in line. How come the 35 Labour Party representatives and their 9 senators did not reject their jumbo salaries, extra allowances for vacation and SUVs? Well, because Peter Obi was not on record to have rejected any SUV. Infact, Peter Obi was known to have warehoused Anambra State funds in a bank he had personal interests. He also invested state funds in his bank by purchasing shares.

Who does that?

Kenneth Okonkwo has jumped from PDP to APC to Labour Party. He defended Buhari, defended Tinubu and is now defending Obi. If he is not a political gigolo for his stomach, then I wonder what drives his lack of personal political stability. Because an ideologically-driven person would not jump from capitalists to progressives to socialists. It is like mixing whiskey, stout, energy drinks, beer and palmie and thinking the person would be sane. Kenneth Okonkwo would likely jump to another party before 2027; the only thing consistent about his political journey is his inconsistency.

He claims to be a lawyer and goes to Arise News to turn the law on its head to the applause of the ignorant Obidents: can he tell us which cases he has won in any court?

This guy is an indictment on the Faculty of Law of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Your comment appears out of tune with realities please.

Your first paragraph leaves one wondering if you are in tune with the actions and behavior of Nigerian politicians. I want to ask if you are not aware that Nigerian politicians generally copy each other. Who says that Tinubu did not see Obi’s manifesto, copied it and went to the press with it first.

Tinubu organized and coordinated strikes in 2014 to stop GEJ’s plan to end the fuel subsidy regime? The same Your Tinubu turned around to copy it and tell us that “subsidy is gone” on the first day.

If LP is not the present opposition party, what’s stopping SDP, NNPP and PDP from letting us hear their voices? How is it that Obi/LP have become the major threat to APC inspite of your claim?

Please read through your comment once again and make the necessary corrections, after proper study of the realities of our politics.

It may not be copyright.

Car manufacturers share certain parts with each other, as they have the same parts coming from the same suppliers.

For instance, I used to have a BMW 3 series many years ago. The same car shared parts with a Mercedes model. I only found out when the mechanic collected the same from the Mercedes mechanic and it was the same.

Truly, aside from Nigeria, certain people must not come around you. They kill ideas.

Go to some ministries and parastatals today with a proposal. If you are asked to drop it and come back, you just gifted someone your idea. They simply copy it and submit. They get the approvals for themselves. When you return to check, they hand over your documents to you and tell you that they were not accepted by oga. The next, you’ll find someone carrying out the job with another name.
