Problem with this prediction is that the Anti Christ according to Bible prophecy will come from Europe. The new Roman empire which would eventually regain power to dominate the world again. And while America may no longer be the 1 super power, it still will have some form of influence. So I do not believe Russia would rise again.

Glad this Church is finally sealed off at least for the time being. I have queried why this action has not been taken long ago. I fail to understand how some group of people in the church would be bigger than the whole diocese.

I remember a case that a church member wanted his child baptized. Members of this clique fought the church member, fought the priest and people who came for the baptism and there reason was that they do not believe in infant baptism. I was pissed off. It wasn't there child that was being baptized. The father of the Child believes in infant Baptism and so wanted it for his child yet these set of people were ready to fight to stop another person's belief in the process of enforcing theirs. A set of people who call themselves Christians but all they do is fight, sow discord and lead their congregation to disobedience and they still believe in their minds that they are worshiping God? People with reprobate minds.

Anglicans believe in infant baptism. Even Bible said Peter Baptized Cornelius and all his household. If you disagree with the Anglican doctrine, get yourself out of the church and start your own church and call it whatever you like.

If these people did this to Ven. Adubasim who is the meekest of Venerables I know, I guess God has vindicated many other Pastors that were sent there and had these same issues.

Hum! Our understanding these days seems warped to me.

Did we not read that the girl is smoking marijuana which has been traced in the baby? Did we not read that she had been to Dubai before for medical treatment and Coco even sent pictures to them? This trip according to David was a subsequent medical check up. Must the Child be denied the check up she requires because they want to please her irresponsible mother who put herself in the position in the first place by smoking marijuana while breastfeeding. I don't think the Adeleke's were trying to kidnap the girl.

I don't know about other people but I would do same as they did as long as it's to the benefit of the Little girl.

Sophia wants to eat her cake and have it. They should stop giving her money because that is why she is smoking, she has excess cash from them. Why agree to the agreement in the first place? Because she was promised car and raised alarm as the car is not forth coming?

Dele Momodu should also be ashamed of himself and his 28 yr old cousin who decided without shame to sleep and get pregnant for a 21 yr old. Loot at the way he is talking about money and car as if the Adeleke's have become their meal ticket. I hate gold diggers.

As for Davido, it serves him right. Next time he should be careful.

My 3 yr old nephew was crying and we all in the house tried to calm him down. At the end of the day I succeeded by telling him the things I would buy for him. When he calmed down, I then asked him what he would buy for me when he grows up and he told me " Aunty, when I grow up ehhhh, I will buy one biggggg jeep for u" and I thanked him.

My kid sister who sat by our side quickly asked him what he would buy for her 2 when he grows up and he replied immediately, Aunty, when I grow up ehhh, I will build one biggggggggg police station for you. Lol! My sister never asked him that question again.

One day my 3 yr old niece told me " my daddy is a biggggg man" she stressed the big as per her excitement. I then asked her why she says her daddy is a big man thinking it was because of the man's size as he is actually tall and huge. She told me, my daddy is a bigggg man because he can climb ladder and clean fans. Lol

The same girl when she was 4 and her sister was 2 were discussing with their mom.

Mom to the 2yr old : are you a boy or a girl and she replied she was a girl. Mom asked her how she knew she is a girl and she said " because I wear ear rings and plait my hair. Mom then asked, "so if I cut your hair and remove your ear rings what would you be and she said, I will then be a boyyyyy and we all laughed.

Mom to the 4 yr old, are you are boy or a girl and she said she was a girl and mom asked how she knew she is a girl and she replied that she doesn't have tail because boys have tails. I laughed so hard that day.

When I was in my brother's house, his wife was always complaining about her children and their disturbances. She was always threatening them that she was going to leave them for sometime and go rest in her father's house.

One day as she said it, her 4 yr daughter who obviously was tired of hearing her complaints told her "mummy go, when you go, I will tie your wrapper and go and sleep with daddy" oh! Boy ehhhh, that was the end of their mums threat.

This same girl one day asked our male neighbour who had big stomach what was in his stomach. The man told her he was pregnant, she kept telling him "ur not pregnant joorrr but the man kept telling her he was pregnant and expecting a baby, she asked the man " so if you are pregnant, who is responsible for your pregnancy? Ono ehhh! Na so I close my mouth for kitchen wet I dey oooo. It was later I asked maid where she got that from and she told me one Bollywood movie that Chinyere Wilfred was beAting her pregnAnt daughter asking her who was responsible for her pregnancy.

Dear Nairalanders,

One does not exactly understand the policies of our present CBN as it relates to foreign currencies and transactions.

First CBN came up with no foreign currency payment for any transaction done in Nigeria. This means you buy goods in foreign currency but sell and get paid in Naira. It means you would need to buy foreign currency from the CBN if you are shipping through LC or from the black market rate if transaction is not valid for forex to be able to purchase new goods or pay for the one you already purchased (Note that for your transaction to be valid for LC, you must have the amount of the goods in your bank and bank will freeze this amount until shipment is made and they then transfer the amount based on CBN rate to your vendor)

Last week, CBN came up with a new policy that you must have money in your account before you can open form m for non valid forex transactions. How this would work is what I do not know because if a business man has all the money to pay at once, then there is no need for non valid forex transaction. The essence of the non valid forex transaction is that you are expecting payment or hopeful money is coming from somewhere so long as you can get credit facility from your vendor and she/he is willing to ship why you pay later. In this case now, since you are not allowed to source forex from CBN because your shipment is not valid for forex, the only means of sourcing hard currency is through the black market rate.

This week CBN came with the policy of not allowing anybody pay in foreign currency in his/her domiciliary account. This is where I get confused because the only way one can source dollar and pay for foreign transactions that are not valid for forex is the black market and now you are not allowed to pay in that dollar into your account. How does one pay up transactions that have been carried out already under non valid for forex since CBN won't sell to you and you are not permitted to pay in cash yourself?

Again, I asked my bank in a situation you have a credit facility from your vendor (which Bank agree that they can use to process your form m for shipment). In this case, transaction is not valid for forex as you do not that the money in your account but your vendor is agreeing to ship to you while you pay later so CBN cannot sell dollar to you to pay your vendor and you are still not allowed to source dollar yourself and pay into your account to enable you pay your vendor and at the same time you can only get paid for that transaction in Naira when you sell, how does CBN expect you to pay your vendor?

I really need contribution /answers to these issues as I am really cracking my head on how to continue doing business in this country. Presently, I am no longer accepting Purchase orders from companies because I do not know how am going to pay for the goods when they are shipped and I sell. Paying off already purchased goods is a problem now as one can no longer pay in dollar and CBN cannot sell to you because transaction was carried out under not valid for forex and this am afraid may hamper my relationship with my foreign partners. If this continues, how can one continue to pay staff salaries when you are no longer carrying out any business?

Answers pls and whoever is in a position to reach CBN should contact them for answers to these issues.

Thanks All.

veraponpo:
It takes two to tango.

Oba Akinolu may not be right on this but the attitude of our Igbo brothers and sisters could frustrate one.

Having helped them more than what their region has done for them, instead of being grateful; their actions seem to be undermining the essence of our existence through their incendiary statements. Calling their hosts cowards- what do you want after that-fight to show we are not cowards.

Oba Akinolu is their match and that is why the situation seems difficult now.

A gentle king could be disobeyed easily but did they say anything at the palace? No. They dare not.

It was after leaving the palace that chest beating, ultimatum , etc started surfacing.

Who then is the cowards? Ta lo fe gbenan woju ekun lai f'eje we ( who wants to put light at the face of a tiger without being bathed with blood)

Remember, 'He who makes peaceful resolution difficult , has made violence inevitable.'

I am Igbo but an apc supporter but I seem not to understand what the above statement means? First you said you have helped us and I ask in what way have you helped igbos? We come to lagos, we rent houses from you guys even at exorbitant prices we still pay up, we rent shops for our businesses and still pay up even when the govt does not provide all we need, we still pay our taxes. Is there anything the yorubas has given igbos free or is there anything igbos have from the yorubas that is not as a result of their hardwork and enterprise? Please I would like an explanation of how you guys have really helped igbos.

secondly you stated we frustrate you and I ask in what way have we done that? By going our normal business without looking for trouble? Do you really know the meaning of frustration or are you frustrated out of your own envious nature of the igbos ability to make something out of nothing in any environment they find themselves?

So the security operatives that caught her snapped her, the car conveying her without opening the cartons and snapping the thump printed ballot boxes? PDP please provide evidence as these pictures posted here are not evidence at all.

Look at the states. The core North is not voting yet and oga Jona is loosing miserably. God will confirm this on 28th March.
The pole should have included a questio on if you have your pvc and if you will actually step out to vote on election day. I suggest they edit it and start all over.

Now what is the difference between Barcanista and FFK?

I get sick seeing men like Ffk using God's name in vain.

He promisedthem he wasn't going to run in 2015 and what happened? Stupid people who still think this president has any allegiance to his words.

I tried so much to see if I could finish listening to this ffk video but unfortunately not. Ffk is axactly what a politician shouldn't be. Am no fan of Amaechi but what has Amaechi wearing one cloth for 1 month got to do with the questions he was aske? With all his education, phonetics and all, Amaechi stands tall in comparision to him. I remember this man vividly attacking pdp and saying pretty ugly things about pdp only to have his money laundering case dropped and position given him and all of a sudden, Apc is darkness and doom. He people should really be ashamed of him. Ffk is a man without honour.

Like I said, I didn't border continuing when he said Amaechi betrayed his oga Odili. For the records, it was Odili who betrayed Amaechi by substituting him with Omehia who never contested primaries. He Amaechi went to the supreme court to reclaim his mandate. I guess ffk is alao faulting the judgement of the supreme court while supporting Odili's violatioñ of the electoral law. How sad.

One more reason Gej should be booted out is so that people like ffk will be put in the place that they belong. People like him are not supposed to be heard. Gone are days when men like my father lived. Men whose yes and no remain so even after decades.

JideSM: Hi Confetti, kindly send your mobile number via PM for checks. Regards

Dear JIde,

My number is 07034058121 and please note that I am running out of patience with this line.

I wrote another mail today to customer care and they replied application for refund is not working. How much longer am I supposed to wait for this application to come up?

I await your response as I make enquiry for alternative option.

JideSM: Hi Confetti, kindly send your mobile number via PM for checks. Regards

I do not know how the PM works and my Nairaland email address is no longer functional.

You can drop your email so I can send it to you.

Dear Jide,

I subscribed to mtn bbmaxim and was using this until I lost my bbz3o early last month an has not been able to get a new one.

I retrieved my line from Mtn after sending mail of loosing ma phone. My bbmaxim data for July was not used as a result of loosing my phone so I waited to cancel the subscription when it expires in August but unfortunately, mtn sent me an auto renewal without notice and deducted 3000 from my account as I am on post paid.
I quickly called mtn customer care line to deactivate the subscription as the phone am currently using does not use the data which they could also see that previous month data was not used. This was subsequently deactivated by the agent that attended to me but its surprising to see that mtn did not refund the 3000 debited from my account.

I called mtn at night of that same day but was told mtn cannot refund th 3000 by the agent that attended to me but will stop deducting my account from subsequent months.

I found this absurd and have written twice to mtn about this and got a response that software for refund application is down and my credit will be refunded once it comes up.

Please note that as I am writing now, mtn has suspended my line from making callls because they said I do not have enough credit even when my balance is -4700 against 5000 credit limit on my phone.

Please mtn should kindly credit my account with the 3000 deducted to enable me offset my balance or be ready to loose the 10-15k I load on this line monthly as I am not going to recharge that line until the 3000 is refunded.

Also, I keep getting a text message telling me my data comsumption is 0kb thus 0.01 has been deducted from my account and this keeps coming like every 30 seconds. I want this stopped too I know that my money is going based on how many times I get this message in a day. I have just received 2 of such message as I am typing now.

@ madam Law confessor, It would do everyone of us good to read and understand very well before rushing to conclusions. How did you arrive at her sleeping with Chime while Chime was still married? Chime was long ago divorced before Clara met him and married him.

I try to imagine my sister not me in clara's shoes and think of what my brothers would do if it were my family. Whether she married him for money or not, Fact is that she is legally married to him. Chime should accord her a befitting treatment that she deserves. If he needs a divorce, he should file for it and go about it the right way. Why try to eject her out of the house? na tenant she be? So for fear of divorce a woman loosing her sanity out of isolation should not cry out? If she cries out then she must be forced to leave her matrimonial home? Did she ask for divorce? what embarrassment is her condition causing Chime if I may ask?

Chime should step up and live up to his responsibility as a man, send his wife for treatment after which if he needs divorce can legally apply so.

Which tyres the plane take land?

Please do post the account details here. May be my two cents would help.
Thanks

Am so agitated inside me that I do not know how to put this and I need urgent clarifications.

I want to import some goods into the country, went through soncap website and downloaded the list of exempted products. part of my goods are on the exempted while part are not so I applied to soncap for the "not exempted" product and was made to pay 100K for a product not up to $50,000.

On getting to bank for form M processing with a copy of the exempted list where my goods fall into, am made to understand that I require exemption permit from soncap and now son is telling me to go pay almost half a million naira for this same product. Am dumbfounded as I am writing this, the issue of duty, vat and other payments during clearing are not yet included in this whole deal and am wondering if this is the correct thing to do or not.

What exactly is soncap supposed to do? Is their standard just in that money they are getting? Why have exempted products list and yet payment is required again?

Please anybody who happens to know how this works should kindly advise me asap.

I think cancelling the wedding outrightly is a bit too harsh. The only attachment to marriage of no sex is "Holy matrimony" so if they ahve already slept, then its no longer holy matrimony. This however shouldn't stop the wedding.

In my church, they will conduct your wedding as "Marriage Ceremony"

Lol! Reminds of a friend then whose surname was mmuoghara. I told myself I wasn't ever going to bear that name. Kept asking myself what exactly they did to spirits that they are still asking for forgiveness.

Just in that our able Governor has pledged to take up OJB's surgery bills. Payment to be effected on Friday.

Good one from him. We are now praying for a successful surgery.

Me I no gree ooooo. 2baba no gree us come im wedding, now he wants us to buy the pictures? lai lai, i no gree oooo

Why can't this man be impeached? Damn, Nigeria is rightly positioned in Hell. I remember vividly GEJ telling us during the 6yr term debacle that it wasn't his idea. Now it has become his idea. Lies, lies, lies from a president. How many more is he gona tell?

Pls anybody close to Oga at the top in Rivers state should get this to him. Am wondering why JDP hasn't finished this there Woji-Okujagu connecting road to reduce traffic on that bridge.

Pls this is not Annie's dress. her dress has a silver band in front. Where is this picture from?

Nna ehh, Ihe mmadu na anwu na obodo a, Chineke napu ekwensu ike biko.

RIP beautiful ones. Not even death could separate you lot.

But he doesn't need to publish the letter na, who doesn't know uncle Gej signed such agreement? I remember during those their PDP in house magomago, Adamu Ciroma after getting the signed copy wanted a video evidence from Gej to which he bluntly refused. That was when I knew he wasn't gona go for any one term. One more reason to buttress this is Gej's Seven year single term proposition which invariably means 2 tenure.

As far as am concerned, its no news. Wish they could destroy themselves and give Nigeria a breathing space.

hum! i remember vividly how I dreamt on the eve of the match how cameroon defeated us and i woke and thanked God so much that it was a dream not knowing it was going to be the real deal.

I remember how i knelt down praying during the penalty kicks, so sad my heart was so broken that i didn't eat food for 2 good days. it was sadness all that 2 days and after I eat, i advised myself never to find myself in such situation any more.

Somehow I have been able to pull it off, I only get sad now for few hours and I forget it completely.

Profidada: If gej did not complete the east west road, passed the petroleum industry bill into law and the inability to improve the power supply to a managerial level then i will go for the duo Ibrahim Shekarau/Ngozi Okonjo. In my opinion this ticket will take care of the four major factors in nigerian elections- religion, ethnicity, zone and to some extent credibility.

Ngozi Okonjo will not win any election, at least not until Nigerians forget her Fuel Subsidy removal policy so she is no sell at all.

I would go for Fashola and Ribadu or Buhari and Fashola. I don't care if they are muslims, once they can give good governance and turn this country around for good, am up for it. My problem with Fashola though is Oga Tinubu's influence. Ribadu and Bahari are men in their own class and am sure they wouldn't be easily intimidated.
