Definitely, it was not the voice of God he heard. Let him come and prophesy for 2011. Do not be surprised to hear him mention either Osita Iheme or Chinedu.

Honestly the way some of our countrymen behave 'outside' makes one feel uncomfortable. If there are no cracks on the wall the lizards would not enter the house. After all even when fellow Nigerians are caught in Italy, they claim Edo State. Our grouse should be directed at our thieving leaders who do not spread our commonwealth sufficiently. Meanwhile, the Ghanaians should consider themselves lucky. I almost laughed about the armed robbers still using knives, sickles! etc. I have been a victim of armed robbers twice in Naija. I can only thank God for his mercies.

Anini the notorious armed robber I guess.

Does he still wear 'singlets' in his videos?

Dr Kitaun:
YES . . .he is so humble that he allowed himself and his other teammates get HUMBLED, HUMILIATED, DESPOILED, DECIMATED,OUTFOXED, OUTPLAYED, AND OUT-WHATEVER !!!    

Rubbish !

Pride goes before a fall . . .

Pride actually goes before destruction. It is haughtiness that goes before a fall. Check Proverbs.

Thank God then. I still have hope.

Nigeria we hail thee! Won't be surprised to see Kaita's name in the next nomination.

There we go again! So much passion about matters that should not ordinarily concern us! Can anyone link me to site where Germans would blow hot and cold on Naija matters?

@ Poster, I am sure you could get an accurate answer from Pastor T.B,

Your call.

He should have remembered the first of the 48 Laws of Power - Do not outshine the master. The oga might just be thinking that his money was pilfered because to in order to buy a car with such salary, one must get ready for a long period of dry fasting which would be broken with garri Ijebu.

This thread is morbidly fascinating. After reading some posts, my thoughts may incline towards pity for them. After reading other posts, I incline towards revulsion.

'Scammers' even though they do not force their scams on the gullible deserve punishment. This started right from the garden of Eden where the Serpent also got punished for luring the gullible Adam and Eve into disobeying God. 419ers get punished for plying their trade. What's the difference between MTN and such bad guys?

There we go again. North vs South. Keep them coming in NLers.

Where is that irrepressible & incorrigible NLer with Hausa name whose posts are usually interspersed with 'wallahi' etc? Usually active in 'anti-North' threads. He has that capacity to make one laugh even in serious threads.

2. 3 @ most.

What the mind does not know, the heart does not grieve about.

Sure, acid rain is a real phenomenon. It occurs when rain falls in an atmosphere with a high carbon dioxide content. The mixture is a very weak acid which does no appreciable harm even to the human skin (if any at all). If acid rains were that corrosive, the Chinese and Indians would be the most noticeable victims due to the high levels of pollution in their atmosphere as a result of industrialization. Truly, 'my people perish because they lack knowledge.'

xterra2:
Amodu as useless as his tactics
He was not sacked,he was redeployed-he still have a contract
Nothin will come out of it
Actually Luck took us to world cup not you(+mozambique)-anyway not important
The bonus for qualifying to the world cupdunno if dats in he contract but he actually didnt
The NFF are NOT dumb,y didnt they sack him?Breaching of contract,
Redeploying him(demoting) to team B-not in breach of contract and not liable to bonuses an some $$$$
like i said,as useless as his tactics

You just beat me to making such comment. Mozambique actually qualified 9ja for the world cup and not Amodu. Can much be expected of a man who would still feature players like Kanu and Aiyegbeni in his line-up? He should be grateful for being allowed to mis manage Team B. I wonder how he would get players for the team since he said no home-based player was good enough for his national team during the qualifiers. This does not exonerate the NFF. They are all birds of the same feather.

To sacrifice for a good cause is desirable but with the way things are going on in 9ja, 'siddon look' would be fair enough. Just imagine laying down your life for 9ja and leaving behind people like Aaondokaa and most of the members of the recently dissolved FEC, what do you think such sacrifice would achieve?

ElRazur:
Jeez use paragraphs next time. My head burst from trying to read that.

Ha! Daddy you can lie o!, Or is it a miracle that you are still alive after your head burst?

Paradox

Naija's got what others haven't got - human resources. Proper and efficient harnessing of these resources through good health care, qualitative education and patriotism would make her a power to be reckoned with. Just look at China. It cannot be disputed that she is a world power booth in economic and military terms. Even though she ranks 4th in GDP size, she is in 131st position in GDP per capita (http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_gdp_percap-economy-gdp-per-capita). Her large population is what makes her a force to be reckoned with. China succeeded against all odds. This is Naija's portion.

What could be more difficult than fire-dancing? Getting him to notice you should be a walk over. I really empathize with young girls who have a crush/infatuation on guys they may never befriend. This is the general picture: A girl with both hands on her bosom, starring wide eyed (with some tears streaming down) and wearing a semi-permanent idiotic grin at the sight of the guy. When they get older (hence, wiser), they entertain their children/grand children (especially the girls who are just about getting curious about love matters) with stories of their childhood fantasies.

We must not delude ourselves on being at par with the US or other developed nations. Such countries with large economies up to150 times larger than ours can afford their pick of weaponry.Yet, the US with its sophistication is yet to capture bin Laden or completely pacify Afghanistan while the Western navies off the coast of Somalia are yet to counter the threat of piracy there. In warfare, the most important asset a country could own is adequate manpower. That's one the reasons why the then U.S.S.R. despite losing more than 20 million citizens could eventually overcome Germany. It is a pity some people are clamoring for sophisticated weapons while they are yet to have electricity, tarred roads or portable water supply in their hometowns. How would the purchase of an Apache helicopter add any meaningful value to your life? Come to think of it, which country can be said to be a threat to Nigeria to warrant her stockpiling armaments? That sketch showing locations of barracks in Nigeria is highly inaccurate. It is very different from the locstast (location statistics) of installations and units of the Nigerian Army. If a unit is located in particular part of the country, does that guarantee such a unit being commanded or staffed by citizens from that area? The fact is that the Nigerian military is respected worldwide. If you doubt, you can confirm from the D.P.K.O. of the U.N. Are you aware that the Liberian president would allow no other contingent of U.N.M.I.L. other than Nigerians to be her escorts and guards? The AK47 is acclaimed to be the most reliable rifle in the world. It practically requires no maintenance unlike the rifles used by N.A.T.O.

Yeah, the Nigerian Military is useless especially when its meagre achievements are compared to the the GLOWING ACHIEVEMENTS of NEPA PHCN, State Water Corporations, NNPC, Health sector, Banking sector, Education sector and the Political elite among many others since independence.

The photo didn't do her justice. She is quite a beaut to behold, Just by the way. A soldier (and his colleagues in the sister services) has the dubious honour of being under both civil and military laws. That is why a soldier can be handed over to the police for prosecution. Some soldiers' conduct while clamouring for the FULL payment of their allowances bordered on gross misconduct and insubordination. It can be likened to the case of a militant who claims to be fighting for equitable distribution of oil wealth while carrying out acts of vandalism, bunkering and kidnapping. This comparison may be rather harsh but the idea I am trying to get across is that two wrongs don't make a right. The shortfall in the allowances was as a result of erroneous overpayment to soldiers of another unit who didn't see the need to make observation on this seeming stroke of luck! The irony here is that while the excess payment has been retrieved and justice meted out with dispatch, the little balance remaining for Esther and her colleagues is yet to be paid, about a year after the initial payment was made. But cheer up! A courtmartial is held to ensure fair trial for the accused. The sentence even if confirmed by the military authorities would most likely be overruled at the Court of Appeal.

I often am at a loss on what to make of the hues and cries over Abiola's denied mandate. The Law of Karma seems to have caught up with him in that the military he aided to topple an elected president later on scuttled his presidential election. Any perceptive student of Nigeria's recent history would be aware that he was among the instigators, sponsors and supporters of the coup against Shagari. It is a fact that he nursed presidential ambitions under NPN and was displeased when made aware that such could not be granted in the short run. His struggle to claim his mandate could be viewed as the moves of a true democrat or moves by an individual to achieve a long-nursed ambition. I hold to the latter view.

Churches burnt, scores injured in Niger violence

By Francis Falola and Busola Ayodele

The Easter celebration on Monday turned sour in Minna, the Niger State capital, and Gwada town as people suspected to be Muslim fundamentalists stormed some churches, causing bodily harm and destroying properties worth several millions of naira.

Christians all over the world earlier in the day had assembled at churches for the symbolic Galilee picnic, an event to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

But the day turned bloody in Gwada, where three churches were burnt while about 26 Christians were injured. In Minna, the Niger Baptist Church was the target of the fanatics who injured five Christian youths and damaged more than five cars.

Our correspondents gathered that the incident in Gwada happened as Christian youths from all churches marched round the town, drumming and rejoicing over their ability to see another resurrection day of Jesus Christ.

It was learnt that as the procession continued, some Muslim youths, who apparently had pre-planned their action, appeared and started attacking the Christian youths, injuring some of them.

The attackers reportedly turned their attention to churches where special services and picnics were being held to commemorate the Easter.

They disrupted their activities and burnt three of the churches.

In Minna, the incident at the Baptist Church, our correspondents gathered, happened in a similar way, but the combined efforts of the Christian youths saved the churches in the town from being set ablaze.

It was learnt that two Muslim fanatics, who had hidden in a provisions shop near the church, had first come to spy on the building but they were spotted by the Christian youths who had come out of the church.

The youths, according to one of the victims, Mr. Olajide Oke, informed the church leadership, who intimated the church members.

The youths, on getting wind of the development, vowed to protect the church.

According to Oke, the two Muslim fundamentalists earlier found lurking around the church premises left and came back a few minutes later with about 60 others and they immediately sprayed the cars parked outside the bookshop with petrol, "but the efforts of the Christian youths prevented the hoodlums from setting them ablaze."

However, three vehicles AH817SUL, EQ939ABC and AH690MNA were badly damaged as the Muslim youths threw stones and other weapons at the vehicles and the Christian youths.

Those injured were either stabbed or hit by stones, the victim said.

An elder of the church, Dr. James Ojebode, described the incident as sad.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Richard Oguche, said three assistant commissioners of police and a detachment of riot policemen were immediately sent to Gwada to put the situation under control.

Oguche confirmed the arrest of 88 Muslim fanatics, adding that they had been taken to the Criminal Investigations Department and would be charged to court soon.

The police spokesman said 20 suspects were arrested in Minna while all the injured were taken to the General Hospital where they had been receiving treatment. No life was lost.

The Superintendent of Police, David Abuo, who is also the head of the mobile police in Minna, led the operation to flush out the fanatics.

Our correspondent observed at the Baptist Church in Minna that the Easter programme abruptly came to an end when the attack happened.

The floor was also stained with blood of the wounded, Unquote.

A good tree would not produce bad fruit. It should by now be obvious that whoever those marauders claim to serve does not mean well for the victims. The earlier we stop deceiving ourselves that we are worshipping the same Being, the nearer we would come to a solution of our national crises. Any wonder why we remain where we are when our national life is characterised by deceit (through the teeth), impunity (at all levels), rascality (in its basest form) and tomfoolery?

We have enough problems confronting us in Nigeria. Yet being whom are, we still feel we must carry others' burdens. If anyone feels like helping, he/she can go and join Hamas or IDF depending on his/her inclination. We don't seem to learn. After all the lives and resources we lost and wasted in the name of ECOMOG, go and ask in either Liberia or Sierra Leone about their people's opinion about Nigerians. The answers you'll get will make you sober.
