[size=14pt]"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2).


Of all the gospellers, John is the most hideous. His version of the gospel came (c. 90–110 CE) after Mark's, Matthew's and Luke's versions of the gospel. So, he basically coined and added stuff missing from the other gospellers with a view to cementing earlier works. This verse is one of those concocted additions.[/size]

I don't have issues with mansions, but someone referring to it to mean heaven is way off the mark I

jelal007:
Nonsense...can't igbo leaders remember him? Duhhh

you see the problem we have, the reason we never ever going to be a nation.

you don't see NNAMDI AZIKIWE as Nigerian leader, instead with your myopic view, you see him as an igbo leader that should be remembered by igbo pple...

only Nigeria.
go to any African countries or world over and see how they revered their " independent leaders, but Nigerian government over the years have chosen to pore scorn on the memory of true national hero,and instead keep celebrating coup plotters.

I think that Anambra need an international airport. Plus a River port.

the international airport is over-due.
that was the main reason Delta state went and built an airport 5minutes from Onitcha, hoping to attract, not delta indigens, but Anambra Marchants.

so going forward Anambra needs an international airports, even more than what we have in Enugu.
the main reason Enugu airport has not been commercially viable is very simple, the city is not as commercialized as Onitcha, so any airport sited in Onitcha would rival port Harcourt and Kano airports in terms of relevance

now I need to know where it is stated that believers are going to heaven let alone owning mansions?

Not withstanding muritala muhamed killed innocent people at asaba just like adekunle killed nursing mother's with thier babies on thier backs,but life is funny u can't believe plateau people don't sleep in thier villages now likewise benue people adekunle was ostracized by every one till his death what about north east that place even in 50 years to come peace will never go there again then kwara is for north ,what igbos went through will be tested by every tribe in naija with blood on his hands,if u know how to pound then pound inside mortar if u don't know how to pound then pound on top of ur legs ka chineke mezie okwu

what Gowon did to us, he will continue to reap the reward, the reason his state- Plateau has refused to know peace.

the same way you won the Election through federal might and intimidation, so nothing new

and nobody remembers nnamdi Azikiwe, because he is not from the "Talakawa and Gambari" Republic?

kenny1313:
He never even wanted to become a governor. He is the only igbo man that can become a president, that is if an igbo man ll ever become a president.

no.igbo man can never be president according to your writing code.... the office is exclusively preserved for Hausa and Yoruba.
sure that makes you happier?

as much as I dont hold brief for Rochas' perceived non performance, I also believe he is just unlucky to be in power at a time of dwindling revenue generation from both state and federal government

but there should be some level of comradeship, AMEACHI been a former PDP member should be seen as one of their own who has gone for a "greener pasture"

OP. you said Omowumi should be top of which list... who dash am?

misscastle:
Lol... you'll have to die to meet her then

me fit die untop your matter shaa

it's very possible to find oil in the Chad Basin, after all the sorounding countries do have oil.
maybe they need to apply more scientific method.

BTW,the amount expended on the "ultimate search" is staggering... 3billion dollars... while we need less than that to build the second Niger bridge...and the first assignment BUHARI took was to cancel the contract for the bridge?

I sincerely pray the North find oil ASAP, so they concentrate and leave Niger Delta oil and that would hasten Nigeria's break up.

I had constant light for 40 hours straight over the weekend. I never said any of the the bolded words. The fact that there are fraudulent activities in the administration of electricity does not debase the fact that it is capital intensive and investors expect returns on their investment. Estimated bills are criminal and i believe the Discos are working hard towards provision of pre-paid meter(which i don't like, i prefer the old one) because it is now a regulatory issue.

I will be glad if you can mention the fact the there are areas where people dont pay electricity bills at all. The remove their wires in the morning and use a long wood to replace it in the evening. Am a living witness of that scenario. lets look at the issue at hand holistically.

you seem to be holding forth for the inept and ill-equipped DISCOs.
if we all agree that estimated billing is evil and DISCOS are doing something about it, shouldn't they wait for a tangible results, I meant why put the cart before the horse?
shouldn't they wait for improved distribution of pre-paid meter before embark on arbitrary increase?

that you light for 40hrs in a bounce doesn't mean some pple aren't using candles

mebad:
Don't you think labeling a product Mage in Aba is further dividing the country along ethnic line ?

Aba as city has become a brand on it own,for example, no other city in Nigeria or even Africa can you see the make of a product been ascribed to...so labeling a product " made in Aba " only goes to further the reputation and that has nothing to do with tribalism.

on the presidents comment, he was addressing Nigerians and he couldnt have spoken the truth better. mind you, is image about talks or doings? if Nigerians abroad had cautioned themselves, they wouldnt be seeing us dat way. afterall, other africans sha do win grammy.... no be so?

yes! other Africans do win Grammy, but compare there image with that of nigeria.
consider the FELA scenario I painted. anybody who has gone beyond the Shores of the country would know the image problem we face

whether image is talk or doings?... well,image is "EVERYTHING" ... you can ask SPRITE

blazetitov:
Corrupt NLC. They obviously don't know what it takes in terms of investment to provide stable electricity for a complex society like Nigeria. No investor will want to put his or her money in a business that is not sustainable unless we are asking government to subsidize electricity again. It is capital intensive to generate and distribute electricity. A simple check on google will confirm this. We can't eat our cake and have it. Nigerians should choose between darkness and payment of commensurate fee for electricity.

I pay N4000 every month on electricity and N3500 when i have the time to monitor the usage of power in the house. We need culture change also, the era of leaving your frontage bulb on 24/7 is fast gone.

what exactly are you talking about
that pple who know nothing about electricity are in incharge of keep increasing tariff at will without commensurate increase in electricity supply

that they keep sending pple "estimated bills" without provision of pre-paid metre is ideal

no investor will put money on what is not sustainable... which investor want to reap where he has not sown except a thief

"era of leaving front bulb on for 24/7... I beg who get light for 24/7

NLC is a By-word.
hearing that name makes me yawn these days.
gone are the days when the actions of NLC would bring any government to negotiating table... these days what you have are self-serving, contract seeking labour union.

Philadelphia:
Nigerian Airforce is recruiting for ND and not Degree. Would you shout that Bachelor Degree holders are marginalised? If you do not complain about this, then you are biased.

ND is supposed to be the minimum requirement,so it is not the same scenario.

schedule your wedding on weekday instead of weekend and chose no reception.. after wedding it becomes "to thy tent oh Israel . alternatively don't bother doing wedding, is not by force

mehn! if we don't get it right under buhari, the only option would be a "REVOLUTION!"

the same lilliputs that run away from BOKO, find it so convenient in brutalizing Nigerians.

CLEM OHAMEZE

sarzy:
Let me quickly educate you, before I educate that guy above you.

1. I sighted ur username because I suspected that you seemed to be arguing based on tribal sentiments rather than facts. BTW, I'm sorry for that. It would be more interesting if argued educatively judging by the records, instead of emotion.

2. I never said Grin or Baddo pioneered indigenous rap. I said Dagrin's death made it more popular.

3. Ask anybody anywhere in the world, Lord of Ajasa and AY.com started indigenous rap in Nigeria. Niggah Raw dropped his debut album in 2005, Dagrin dropped his own in 2006. All through this times, indigenous rap wasn't popular or widely acclaimed. It started becoming popular in 2008, when Le Fe'nu So was released by Lord of Ajasa with major input by rave of that moment- 9ice. 9ice's style further made indigenous pop totally popular through Gongo Aso, that he even became the only African artiste to be invited to perform at Nelson Mandela's 90th birth, a continent that had artistes like Tuface, Dbanj, Psquare, Akon etc. This same Gongo Aso earned 9ice the MOBO, when he defeated Psquare, Dbanj and Asa who were all nominated. Till date, Psquare and Asa have never won the MOBO- Africa's Grammy Award. That was how indigenous pop became extremely popular. So you see the effect of 9ice? Don't forget that in that same year, ID Cabassa won best producer defeating Don Jazzy, even with their biggest song, Fall in Love at that time. If you weren't a kid then, you shouldn't have forgotten this; which was why I slighted your username, because I thought your were being tribally sentimental. Now, Dagrin's death in 2010 made indigenous rap more popular than ever before, paving the way for Olamide, who keeps holding it down till date.

4. Olamide paved the way for Phyno. Yes! If you disagree, just ask Phyno. Phyno himself said it in an interview. He further said that Olamide was his biggest influence. Don't forget Ghost Mode in 2013 o, three years after Olamide had already been in the game. Some years ago, people were comparing Olamide with Phyno, I'm sure you dare not do that this time. Phyno was already in the industry as a producer. He himself said Olamide invited him to take up Igbo rap. Abeg leave trash for lawma.

4. What questions did you ask me which I couldn't answer? 9ice's albums' impacts? I think my epistle has already answered that. You may tell me D'banj's albums' impacts.

And hey, don't forget Ruggedman's biggest rap song ever! Atewo of 2006. Do you know 9ice chorused it?

Even now that 9ice is not as relevant as before, Sean Teazle still had to feature him on Loke Loke which became. And AY.com is back with a new single ft 9ice and Oritsefemi.

Scandals and 9ice's concentration on politics was what lowered his musical acceptance. He is still legend! Biko, leave trash for lawma joor.

got your point.

9ice is one person I believe still has a lot of music in him, mainly because he has a unique sound and deep lyrics as for legendary status, well that's another sermon for another day.

adipemcanis1:
The question we should be asking is not which state is better....but what happens next after the SSCE?

The truth is that WASSCE as an exam tests how you take the exam. It is not an indicator of how well the education sector in the state is, or how good its schools are.

The SE leads. Good.Now...what does the SE have to show for its good performance in the WASSCE?

How many jobs have been created by the students who passed in times past? Are the new students who passed WASSCE over the last ten years doing their bit to imporve the SE economy?

Passes in exams mean nothing....it is what is done with that knowledge that concerns me. And that leads to my main grouse.

The fact is....every year....lots of students pass WASSCE....go to university....then graduate.....and do what?

They go to work in banks and oil companies....ie white collar jobs...that do nothing for the economy.

So...stop boasting about SSCE results. (And before you jump on me...I am not from the SW, SE or the North). Instead....boast about what the education does for the economy of Nigeria. Education is worthless....when it is not producing benefits in the long run. Abia state has no industries and has had no industries for the last twenty years.

prove to me that your state has more industry than Aba in Abia State
am waiting..

olatemitayo:
Dont you see my point now?! Nomination is the best and farthest any nigerian can get.

when it comes to awards and what not... Nigeria generally has a negative image in international community.. like it or not, does affect us.
for example, am sure you have heard what your president said about Nigerias in UK been notorious for crime? , such comments are what is killing us.

can you believe that MARIAM MAKEBA was once under the tutelage of FELA KUTI?..SHE WENT ON TO WIN A GRAMMY AWARD BUT FELA NEVER DID,how do you explain that? that is what negative image does to a country

you talking about suicide is way overboard.. if they are nominated, then they are good as winning it.

sarzy:
How do you measure consistency? Popularity in Biafra or what(ur username says it all)? 9ice dropped his debut album in 2006, Certificate. This is 2016, he is about to drop is eighth album. So is he not consistent or what do you mean by consistency? The only albums that performed poorly were his last double albums CNN and GRA, and despite that, everyone heard Life Drama off that album, including you. And you know it's a nice song.

Before 2008, no one cared about indigenous or Yoruba pop. Every used mostly English. After Gongo Aso, people started listening to Yoruba. 9ice did a collab with Lord of Ajasa which single-handedly made Yoruba rap popular. In 2010, Dagrin's death pushed the art beyond proportion. Now thanks to the likes of Olamide and the others who are sustaining it. This was what paved the way for your brother, Phyno, who joined the league of indigenous rappers in 2013, something he never thought of, if not for the popularity the Yorubas gave to indigenous stuff.
So what am I saying? 9ice played a major role in the success of indigenous pop music today. And you say such a man is not a legend? Let him drop his eighth album and tell me he his not consistent. His acceptance reduced due to the scandals that he rocked himself with in the case of Tony Payne, Cabassa, Ruggedman and bloggers. But that does not rule out the fact that he is a legend. Or are you saying Tuface and D'banj are the only legend in Nigeria pop industry? 2baba will even slap you if he hears that! You know nothing about 9ice so keep quiet!

what has my username name got to do with the issue at hand
are you OK at all?
so if my username happens not to be an indigenous name how wud you know my tribe?
if my name is "John" wud you say the same thing by judging me based on my tribe?

who told you that DAGRIN OR OLAMIDE pioneered indigenous rap and made way for PHYNO

HAVE YOU HEARD OF "NIGGA RAW?"... THAT GUY PROBABLY STARTED RAPPING IN IGBO EVEN BEFORE DAGRIN STARTED MUSIC.
what trash are you talking about?

asked you simple questions you cudnt answer instead fanning ambers of tribalism.
what are 9 ice's albums...mention all and tell me their impact?.. well na you get your mouth.
