I can see that the Catholics are giving this thread a wide berth. Nobody is prepared to talk about cardinal George Pell this early morning.

The two dogs have been picked up by a lucky nairalander who got to my house the fastest. Thanks to everyone that saw the advert and called in. I appreciate all of you.







THREAD CLOSED!!!

Good day.
I have two Caucasian three year old dogs I am giving away to anyone who can take proper care of them.
They serve as security dogs in my house.
The female has never been mated.
I am giving them out because of relocation out of Lagos.
Interested parties could call 7eight for enquiries.
Thanks.

We spoke on Sunday about the Sony Bravia 43". I am based in Port Harcourt. Is the telly still available? If so can we speak on WhatsApp or via phone?

trustbaba:
Thanks for this mature reply

You are welcome.
In my opinion,we should just enjoy the programme and stop looking for faults in the script writing. People are complaining once the storyline does not go the way they want.

Forget the game. An Oath is an Oath no matter what especially the medieval times.

HanksAnuku:
Seun this guy is derailing abeg

I thought you said your last response was your last response...why running to the administrator??

The fact is that Sansa is a game player and she learnt at the knees of a master game player in Lord Baelish. It is a pity you can't take that fact and you have been crying and tearing out your hair all over the place.

HanksAnuku:
Yes I THOUGHT you were someone else, and apologised when you said you weren't that person.

If a simple case of mistaken identity is enough to boggle your mind, then may be you should be more concerned about the fragility of your mental faculties bros.

Like I said, I'm not here to discuss personal issues. I'm here to discuss the show. If you're not here to so the same, bros please jump, pass, and keep it moving.

my last response to you.

APOLOGISED??
It appears the word has an alternate meaning in your dictionary....

Like I said your emotions are all over the place because the script writers of GOT are not taking the story where you want it to go. Remember GOT is a television programme. It is NOT real. Watch the programme and be entertained. Stop getting angry and hot under the collar when the storyline does not go how you wish it to. Relax,none of it is reality.
Take a chill pill and enjoy the programme....

HanksAnuku:
I thought you were starboard aka bushwickbill aka hoopla

My bad.

I came to discuss the show, not discuss my 'emotional attachment'. It looks like you came to do the opposite

No qualms, please keep it moving.

It appears you jump to conclusions a lot......You THOUGHT I was starboard aka bushwickbill aka hoopla??
The mind boggles....and says a lot about you... and how you analyse things....

HanksAnuku:
I didn't swear at you, and I was focused exclusively on a point without making a single reference to you personally.

I've known you almost 10 years now, so no surprises that you've chosen to go down a personal route.

Well cool, lets keep it moving fam.

Known me for almost 10 years??
You must have me mixed for someone else.
Like I observed your emotional attachment to certain characters from the programme has got you hot under the collar...remember it is ONLY a television programme. Don't turn it into your reality. It's all for entertainment.

HanksAnuku:
How is this playing the game.

Danaerys is claiming to be queen.

Sansa does not like Danaerys.

Jon tells Sansa that he is the rightful heir to the throne, and actually does have a better claim to the throne.

Sansa then obviously tells Tyrion, bros your queen isn't actually the real queen.

How is this playing the game ffs?

Why didn't she convince Tyrion to back Gendry Baratheon Instead? Shebi Gendry too has a claim to the throne?

You don't need to swear. You can get your point across without cursing. As I said your emotions are getting the better of you.
I repeat,I do not care who wins the throne as long as I am entertained,and this episode was very entertaining.

HanksAnuku:
This myth again?

What game has Sansa played? Sansa doesn't like Danaerys and Jon now went to tell Sansa that he's actually the rightful king.

It was so obvious how it would play out that Danaerys gave Jon an advance preview of the second half of this episode.

How this translates to Sansa 'playing a game' is a mystery to me.

Stop letting your emotions run away. Sansa is a good player of the game. She has succeeded in planting a seed of doubt in Tyrion(The hand of the queen) mind. Just small seed of doubt but a seed.
I personally don't care who wins the throne as long as I am entertained.

Oasis007:


Also by breaking an Oath just after few Minutes of swearing it?! Can you trust her as a Leader?!

I am not in support of the morals or lack of morals. The programme is called Game of thrones and not Game of morals or Game of Idealism.
I am simply saying that Sansa is one of the best players of the game. She learnt well from Lord Baelish.
Cersei is another good player of the game. On the other hand Jon Snow is a very poor player of the game despite his popularity.

Oasis007:


Your Hatred for Sansa is legit Bruh. I've never been her Fan, but never hated her either. However, seems she's more stupid than Anyone could imagine.

She has successfully destabilized Dany's Camp, few Minutes after swearing an Oath?!

Sansa is a good student of Little finger. She understands how to play the game of thrones.

Buhari brought All I to the Customs to rehabilitate him while pretending to have brought him there to reform the department.
It was just a job for the boys.
Buhari also made Alli head of his re-election campaign team for 2019 elections-where do you think the money will come from?

By Ndubuisi Michaels

President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war is being compromised by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) headed by Col. Hammed Ali (rtd), the Comptroller General(CG) following series of activities that have been taking place in the agency.
The League of Maritime Editors, which comprises seasoned journalists who have contributed to the development of the maritime sector and the economy, made the clarifications in their quarterly state of the nation’s review.
For over three and half years as Customs CG, sitting on several billions of naira as annual budget, Col. Ali has awarded contracts to cronies in NCS in contravention of the due process and in the absence of a constituted customs board and does not ever report to the Minister of Finance, who should be the supervisory minister.


He singlehandedly awards contracts with President Buhari’s approval sometimes, as claimed. No Customs contract has ever been openly tendered for since Col. Ali assumed office, findings have shown. Can the CG provide details of the beneficiaries of the contracts?
Findings have also revealed that the CG in a most corrupt fashion has usurped the powers of the Customs board in the conduct of examination and promotion of senior officers of NCS such that he singlehandedly promotes officers at his whims, thereby raising the question of how transparent the could be. It is the statutory duty of the customs board to conduct promotion test and ratify the promotion of senior officers-from one star, Assistant Superintendent of Customs(ASC) to the Comptroller cadre., while the customs management is empowered to only promote people from Customs Assistant cadre to the Inspector cadre. But the CG approves all promotion since assumption of office.
The League of Maritime Editors wonder if the CG does not rather encourage corruption among officers and men of customs service when officers on transfer to other stations are denied transfer benefits such as transport fare and accommodations when the law provides 28 days accommodation payment pending when he or she gets accommodation. Also, against the law, officers are invited to sit for promotion exams without transport fares, accommodation and feeding allowance.
Investigations show that goods on which import duties have been paid are intercepted on the roads by the officers of the Federal Operations Unit(FOU) and the CG’s Strike Force headed by his Principal Staff Officer(PSO), Brigadier-General Buhari. The only exemption is when the importer or his agent “settles” the officers.
The CG’s Strike Force collects N100,000 per 4o feet container to cover for under-declaration, concealment while contraband containers pay as much as N1million before being allowed to exit both Lagos and Eastern ports. 20 feet containers pay N600,000. The PSO allegedly singlehandedly nominated members of the Strike Force and insists that the coordinator reports to him.
The FoUs, it was gathered, have organized syndicates made up of clearing agents who collect money illegally on their behalf to avoid interception of containers. In Lagos, a leader of a leading freight forwarding group based in Lagos represents the FOU Zone ‘A’. Importers and agents drop between N100,000 and N150,000 with the syndicates for the FOUs.
Also, the seeming high revenue generation by the service has been a ruse as there has been a drastic fall in inward cargo throughput coupled with the depreciation in the value of the Naira, presupposing that N1.01trillion generated in 2017 fiscal year and previous years’ figures loomed large because of the exchange rate difference and policy distortion.
Although the vision of the CG through the task force is to stop the extortion of money, the outfit has compromised its objective as the CG relishes the distortion premised on huge returns to both personal and government coffers.
On valuation, the service has also compromised itself as officers collect certain amount of money from importers, a development which promotes underpayment by importers and their freight forwarders, hence the seizure of most released goods from the ports. This creates rooms for extortions by both the FOU and the ‘Strike Force”.

Our findings have also shown that the Benchmark policy on imported vehicles is rooted in corruption as customs officers toy with the intelligence of importers and their agents even as thee is systemic corruption arising from wrong classification of import duty rates.

Observing that the NCS is supposed to be facilitating trade as enunciated in the World Customs Organization(WCO) policy for customs administration globally, the League noted that the NCS has failed to deliver this value at the seaports with its adverse effect on Ease of Doing Business policy of the Federal Government.

It is on record as recently corroborated by the Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority(NPA), Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman that the NCS has refused to comply with the Ease of Doing Business policy in cargo delivery process.

According to the League of Maritime Editors, investigations have equally shown that Customs authorities still allow prohibited export items such as thick wood and scrap metals for export in Apapa,Tin Can and Onne ports.

Findings have also revealed that despite the Federal Government’s claims that it has stopped importation of foreign rice in to the country, foreign rice still flood the local markets because rice are now mainly being imported through containers via seaports, no longer land borders. They are declared as fishing nets, mosquito nets and building materials in collusion with the Strike Force and FOUs and are cleared unhindered at the seaports.

Have Nigerians asked why there seem to an increase in importation of arms into the country in recent times? All sensitive positions in customs currently are manned by a section of the country, thereby raising the fear of gross incompetence or compromise at seaports, land borders and FOUs.

It was gathered that the issue of closure of warehouses in the Lagos industrial areas of Ilupeju, Ijora, Amuwo-Odofin, Iganmu, among others, that drew the attention of Alhaji Ahmed Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), who called on the attention of President Buhari was also as a result of the extortionist tendencies of the Customs officers

enilove:
We have different ways of reporting the same event .

Mr A can be report a detailed account while Mr B might just take one or two points to make his report. That does not mean the accounts differ.

To that of Judas :

Matthew 27:5-9 KJV
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. [6] And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. [7] And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. [8] Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. [9] Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

Acts 1:18-19 KJV
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. [19] And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

1
The Matthew account says Judas hanged himself.

The Acts accounts says " falling headlong , he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

An analytical mind would not call this a different account. why?
The acts account says HE FELL ... , which could mean after hanging himself , the tree , rope and whatever he used for hanging himself gave way when struggling between life and death , and he fell in the process "headlong bursting his bowels" , simple.

He couldn't have committed the suicide in anyone's presence , so people who saw him dead , would certainly have variant account. But it will all point to the same thing , he hung himself or he fell while hanging himself. Because they could see the rope around his neck and could also see a broken scull and bust bowel.

2

The field whether bought by the pharisees for Judas or bought by Judas himself , which is unlikely , still belonged to Judas.

I just decided to check this thread because I did think it is something someone should be bothered about.

This is a horrible attempt to explain the discrepancy in the two accounts of the death of Judas. You can't convince any person with this explanation. It sucks.

Ubenedictus:
all abusers of course should face the law, that post doesn't dispute that or shift the blame. instead it questions the objectivity generalising priest as abusers and saying that kid are unsafe whenever a priest is around. that is just wrong.

Guy, when you born pikin carry am put for day care wey Catholic priest dey run you hear.
Na sorry go be your middle name . No need for arguement.

Dantedasz:
This is a report of how a catholic priest abused five (5) girls from the same family for a decade and the diocese concerned did a FAT nothing.
Sickening.

I saw most of the wrestlers when they came to Nigeria, some of them were lodged at Kilo hotels in Surulere and freely walked the streets..

Remembered seeing also Eric the red, Luis Martinez (Ariba).. they were two cowboys back then, Ted McKenzie and d other guy (can't remember is name now)..

@naptu you remember that song that starts the show, there's a local way we use to sing it back then..

Mill mascara,
Mighty Igor,
Argentina Apollo

There were also those 2 dwarfs ... Wow, wrestling was close to real back then..

Kilo hotels....
Memories. ..most of the wrestlers were brought to Nigeria by Power Mike promotions and were lodged at Kilo near the National Stadium.
It was when I saw Mighty Igor and Ray Appollon sitting together at Kilo hotel that I realised wrestling was stage managed choreography. (The night before they had been knocking each others head off and Igor was a bloody mess from Appollons head butts)
@ naptu2, Nice thread as usual

Why is this in the family section?

Yet you were so arrogant rather than admitting your fault. This is your second time Bobbysaxxy.

If this is true it is embarrassing. Bobbysaxy please respond to these accusations.

Sir, let me try to make you understand once more. There are reasons why I don't want to post my account details here, Being a scammer isn't one of them.

If I post my account details here, just one minute my pictures will flying up and down here...the wicked souls here will use it to torment and cause me more pain all my life and laugh at me. Maybe If they see where I put on good clothes, stand with a girl, took pix in shoprite etc... They will say that's how I lavish my money and many other things you& I may not think of now. Believe it isn't safe!


I may be in dire need of money now, but I have shame, I have self respect. There's no dignity in begging. It pains me so much that I'm here begging.

Besides, I see nothing difficult in sending me pm here. If you truly want to help a brother. Thanks

I will not do that. once bitten, twice shy.
Like someone said earlier, what shame or dignity remains for a person contemplating suicide.
Your story stinks to the high heavens.
