Kapeter: you should wake up. Buhari doesn't know how he emerged winner of last election. It could have been rig in his favour in some part of the country buh believe me buhari has no hand in the rigging, his loyalists did. Take Lagos for example, buhari doesn't know wether some people were not allow to vote or not, same way it apply all over the country. People who stand to gain rig in his favour if there's actually some that went down.
At the commissioning of this port I knew n I said it was going to be a waste,onitsha port completion n commissioning would be more of economic value,who are the importers/exporters expected to use baro port?,the present desperate attempt n massive waste/looting of funds in the name of searching for crude in the north will suffer the same fate, sentiments bigotry n bias will continue to push buhari n inevitably Nigeria astray.

All these crisis don't just erupt,if only the government n her institutions are proactive n sincere enough,all these unfortunate incidents can be avoided n tackled.there is the need to develop an advance crisis warning system were information can be obtained i well in advance about brewing crisis situation for preemptive n proactive counter measures.
Elchicolo: Two Nigerian soldiers were killed in clashes with Islamic State in West African Province fighters in Yobe State, the terror group claimed through its news agency AMAQ on Saturday.
The jihadist organisation said the attack on the soldiers took place in Boni Yadi on Friday. It said it also seized armoured vehicles.
The Nigerian army authorities are yet to confirm the attacks.
ISWAP has carried out a string of attacks in Nigeria in recent months contrary to the Nigerian government claims that its troops have degraded the insurgent group.
On Thursday the group claimed it killed 10 Nigeria soldiers in an attack in Borno State on Wednesday.
Citing security sources and residents, AFP reported that ISWAP fighters attacked Gajiram on both Wednesday and Thursday, killing three soldiers and a police officer.
The insurgents first attacked the town on Wednesday, forcing troops and police officers to withdraw, according to the residents.
They drove into the town around 4 p.m., “firing indiscriminately,” Gajiram resident Abdu Goni said.
“They burnt down the police station and took away four military vehicles and another one belonging to the police,” Goni said.
ISWAP fighters returned at 1 a.m. on Thursday morning in nine all-terrain trucks fitted with machine guns and engaged troops and police officers in a gun battle, AFP reported.
Goni said the militants “killed three soldiers and a policeman without harming any civilians” when they returned on Thursday, adding that another military pickup truck was seized in the second attack.
The jihadist group known as Boko Haram began its bloody insurgency in northeastern Nigeria in 2009, but it has since spread into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a regional military response.
Boko Haram split into two factions in mid-2016. One, led by long-time leader Abubakar Shekau, is notorious for suicide bombings and indiscriminate killings of civilians.
Shekau pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in March 2015, but ISIS central only gives formal backing to the other faction, which it calls Islamic State West Africa Province.
The U.S. assesses that Boko Haram and ISWAP have been responsible for more than 35,000 deaths since 2011. More than two million people have been displaced, sparking a dire humanitarian crisis in the region.
I just read a different version of this story on a different platform,what I want to say is that the Nigerian security architecture is rather not properly designed for effective job performance, while the military is strong,the police n other paramilitary set are just too weak, perhaps the military did this to maintain their air of superiority over the rest but this is not serving the country well, it's time the operational specialized units of the police,customs, immigration are trained n equip with light military weapons such as GPMG,RPG n the likes to effectively support the military in holding territories as the military advances in major operations, this will also enable these security bodies to effectively deal with lots of threats independently with out involving the military always,but it appears the military wants the other security bodies to remain weak so that they can continue to feel like the alpha and Omega, there is also the need to change the militaries orientation n the manner they relate with the other security bodies, presently their is too much disregard n respect, everyone can't be in a particular security body but all are to work for the nation's security n therefore there should be respect n harmony in relationship,I understand most weapons are classified as military grade n forbidden for the other security bodies but the criminals/terrorist usees those weapons n more what an irony!, again one wonders if equipments like night vision googles, reconnaissance drones, bullet proof/armour patrol vehiclesfield binoculars are too expensive for Nigeria to afford because these are things been use commonly by other country's security daily to boost the operational capacity n effectiveness but not in Nigeria, how can a battle with BOKO HARAM last for more than an hour n air support in whatever form will not come in,is the army not Evy supposed to have an air wing of their own?,in short everything Nigeria self na real wah,haba!!!.

Made4naijasite: Policeman seen trying to arrest his colleague after a suspect’s escape in Anambra State
The policeman In mufti came to a car park at upper lweka to Arrest a suspected drug peddler
He later handed him over to the uniformed policeman working at the same park.
The officer then held the suspect by his trousers but the suspect managed to escape from his grip
That was why the visiting policeman was trying to arrest of officer, blaming him for the escape and accused him of being in cahoots with the suspect, saying that’s the reason he allowed him to escape
Police!!,what stop the officer in mufti to just report the uniform officer to their superiors instead of this public disgrace!,you can never tell with a criminal,any slight chance they sieze it,the uniform officer might not be guilty but inexperienced.
adekennis: If anyone in government is reading this..I hope they take my stupid advice..One of the reason why there is high rate of insecurity in the country is because the police that are supposed to protect are being used as private security in hotels, bars, celebrities security even rich yahoo boys are not left out.I mean these are people paying to protect citizens but they are working for private companies and individuals hence reason for shortages of officers for policing and the few ones left are after yahoo boys meanwhile this organisations pay police authorities for the service of thier men but thats not going to government pocket and government still pay thier salary.This is one of the rot in the police system that need to be stopped..What happen to government having dedicated police recruited for private and individuals use and their salary be paid by the individuals engaging their service...The annoying part if that you pay through your nose to the police authorities before you can get approval to get private officer and all this money is not going to government pocket but the Ogas..See the insecurity in this country can be stopped in two months if the ogas are serious but they see everything as money making avenues same as the military why we still have boko haram..I hope one day somebody with balls with checkmake all this wrongdoings and put everyone in order irrespective of the post they occupy.

mysportdab: 19-year-old Bianca Andreescu has shocked the tennis world by defeating Serena Williams 6-3, 7-5 in the 2019 US Open Final, MySportDab reports.
Andreescu has become the first woman from Canada to win a Grand Slam after producing a stunning performance to beat Serena Williams in the US Open final.
Andreescu, playing in her first Major final, was gifted the ideal start after Williams double-faulted to drop serve and the 19-year-old was nerveless as she stayed in control and won the opening set 6-3.
In the second set, Andreescu's level elevated even higher as she ruthlessly took advantage of a poor Williams serving day and served for the match at 5-2.
Williams hit back in stunning fashion to level the set at 5-5 but when serving to stay in the match, Andreescu found her form again and on her third championship, she cracked a forehand return for a winner to create history on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
wirinet: If it's a personal principle, why is the OP attempting to make it seem as a bible injunction or a commandment. People have been drinking alcohol from the very dawn of history and will drink wine till the last day. If wine does not agree with your system or you are alleging to alcohol, don't condemn others whose system agree with it.
I was referring to MY OWN PERSONAL LIFE PRINCIPLE not op's, please don't get confused n mix things up.
As bitter n deadly as my suggestion may sound, it's the simple truth!,take down some south Africans here n their government will wake up,yes they have the right to deal squarely with any criminal in their country but not tacitly allowing generalised killings for economic social or political reasons.just last week the Israeli prime Minister openly declared that "when your enemy has decided to kill you,you must rise n kill him first",the Americans will tell you"speak to your enemies in the language they understand".
There's this wrong believe among Christians that the Bible supports drinking alcohol but only in moderation. They say we can drink alcohol but we shouldn't get drunk. Well, I will be using Bible verses to show that Christians are not to look at alcohol not to talk of drinking it. Also, this thread will debunk common lies told to support drinking alcohol e.g Jesus turning water to wine.
The word wine is mentioned 231 times in the Bible. But the mistake we make today is that we think the wine mentioned is just alcholic wine. Half the time wine is mentioned in the Bible, it is about fruit juice.
In the Greek and Hebrew languages in which the Bible was written in, the word translated as wine was used to refer to alcohol and also fruit juice. So when those who translated the Bible into English did so, they had to look for an English word which could mean alcoholic beverage and fruit juice. That word is wine. You might wonder why the translators didn't make things easy for us by just writing fruit juice when the verse is talking of fruit juice and write alcoholic beverage when it's about alcohol. The thing is, doing such would mean they are injecting their own idea into the Bible.
Now, in modern times, we have this believe that wine means an alcoholic drinks. That's why we think the word wine in the Bible is always referring to alcohol. Let's me show you that wine in the Bible doesn't always mean alcoholic beverage but fruit juice.
As seen above, wine is found in the cluster i.e wine still in the cluster of grapes. This is purely fruit juice and not alcoholic.
However, grapes usually have a white powdery film around it called yeast. It is that yeast that is made use of to make alcoholic wine. They crush the grapes and in the process the yeast mixed with the fruit juice that was inside grape cluster. Next fermentation takes place then the result if alcoholic wine. Most times, wine makers add more yeast to attain the desired alcohol level. So you see, wine moved from normal fruit juice before it became alcoholic wine after yeast was added.
Now, there are two types of wine as explained above: The alcoholic and fruit juice. There's a certain type of wine the Bible said we shouldn't even look at, not to talk of touching our lips with it. Read the passage below.
The verse above is talking about alcoholic wine. It even describes fermentation process. It says we shouldn't even look at that type of wine. Yet some folks say we can drink it in moderation.
It describes the feeling one gets after drinking alcohol. It's a horrible feeling.
Have you ever had alcohol such that after taking it, women whom you would never touch with a ten foot poll suddenly start looking attractive to you? The above verse describes it as the effect of alcohol. It also describes how you start saying all sorts of junks which you would not normal say.
Remember when you lie down after taking alcohol and the whole bed seems like you are swimming, and also you feel like you are floating and your eyes being dizzy. That's the feeling described.
After the whole horrible night and you wake up to hangover, what's the cure drunkards usual prescribe? They say to cure hangover, start drinking again. That's what the above passage described.
Yet, some people say we can drink alcohol in moderation and that it only becomes a sin when we get drunk. Sorry buddy, the Bible says don't even look at it.
The Bible doesn't say we should drink alcohol in moderation. It says we should be sober at all times (1 Thessalonians 5:6 Titus 2:3).
Now let's see the common verses people love to twist to try to say we can drink alcohol
The first is found in the passage where Jesus turned water into wine. They fail to realize that it was fruit juice kind of wine, not the alcoholic or fermented one. Let's examine the passage carefully.
According to some people, it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into and gave the people at the wedding to drink. However, a closer look shows that not to be the case.
Pay close attention to verse 10 where the Bible says when men have well drunk. Let's see how the New International Version (NIV) renders that verse.
If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into, then it basically means he wanted to destroy the guests at the wedding. After they have had too much to drink, Jesus decided to give them more. That means if there were cars back then, many would have accidentally on their way home. Remember the passage in Proverbs 23 which talks about the horrible effects alcohol. If we say these people were already drunk on alcohol, then Jesus just helped them double those effect in their life by giving them more. This means they would start to behold strange women and say perverse things. Now, tell me, who would want to listen to Jesus preach the next morning after the "alcoholic wine" he gave them to drink made some of the men to sleep with their housemaid to the anger of their wives? Made them to saw perverse things to their boss? Made them to sleep in the gutter? Yet you say Jesus gave people alcohol to drink.
Jesus didn't give anybody alcohol to drink. Doing so would mean he's a liar. Remember what he said in the passage below.
If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into at the wedding in Cana, then he abolished the law and the prophet which spoke against alcoholic wine in Proverbs 23:31. So clearly it wasn't alcoholic wine he turned water into but fruit juice.
Another passage people love to use for an excuse to drink alcohol is seen below.
Mathew 11:18-19 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
The above passage talks about a false accusations against Jesus who pointed out how they also falsely accused John the Baptist. Yet, some people will say because Jesus was accused of being a drunkard then it means he use to drink alcohol. Was John the Baptist possessed with a devil? No, but he was accused of such. I now wonder why you believe Jesus drank alcohol due to some false accusations. Remember, the accusation is that he was a drunkard. So if you use this verse to justify drinking alcohol, then don't get angry when some tells you that Jesus use to fall into gutter after getting drunk; he use to behold strange women and say perverse things. Can you see how wrong they are with their interpretation of the passage?
Another verse they use is seen below.
They pick the verse out context and say God is telling us that we can buy alcohol and drink it. If you read the previous verses, you will see that the context is about tithing. Those items listed alongside strong drink are to be brought to the temple for sacrifice to God. Some are eating, but it excludes the strong drink because nowhere in the above passage does it say drink the strong drink, same way it doesn't say drink the oil. Now, see what the strong drink is used for.
The strong drink or wine is poured out onto the Lord for a drink offering. It is not to be drank at all. But people have twisted the verse in Deutoronomy 14:26 to mean God is saying we can drink alcohol even when he said in Proverbs 23 that we shouldn't even look at it.
Guys, drinking alcohol is a sin and every Christian should abstain from it. Don't let anybody fool you into think moderation is the key. A little sip sends your good sense of judgment out the window. That's when another glass or bottle won't seem like a bad idea. And note, wine has tripple alcohol content that four bottles of beer. So don't think drinking a glass of wine is sophisticated. You are emore alcoholic than the beer drinker.
Op you did well n I can't contradict you,but personally I don't drink alcohol at all because of one of the strong guiding principles in my life i.e"anything that it disadvantages out weigh it's advantages is not for me"
Kay25: I will like to know reasons why some Christians won't want to go to church on Sunday.
personally n for many,the major reason is that the church has been reduced n converted to business ventures of the the owners/leaders,such that more emphasis is geared towards money making n so call prosperity rather than morality n righteousness.
EVILFOREST: This is what u get from LAB. SCIENTISTS In Nigeria, meanwhile their colleagues out there in the overseas are making WAVES in research.... They are after SALARY EQUITY and SHOULDER RUBBING...this stems from cumulative envy and hatred for the medical doctors.
Don't WORRY, very Soon the MEDICAL DOCTORS will all Leave and spaces will be created for u all to exercise ur Skills in Medical Practice.... Then Let's see if NATIVE DOCTORS won't do better ....
Nobody hate any doctor,the overbearing attitude of the doctors in the medical setting is the problem.how can n why should a medical doctor wants to head the laboratory for goodness sake?,the doctors are naturally the head of the hospital but some departments should be held by specialist in those fields while ultimately been under the command of the doctors creating a seamless working order n relationship but the doctors always want to boss everyone n this has n will continue to cause friction in the medical setting.

It's just because of the empty n very bias government that we have in Nigeria that makes the south Africans n her government to take us for for fools n cowards.just give them a small reciprocal demo here in Nigeria with their MTN ShopRite etc n see how their brains get reset immediately,but we are wasting time summoning high commissioner n calling on AU!.
This yakassai like most of his types up far north who thinks they own this country is stupid fool,just imagine the apology n comparison,do the commercial vehicle operators go about attacking n killing people or is it only a particular ethnic group that is engaged in it?, nobody is depriving the fulanis their trade but it's for them to practice it within the confines of the law n in respect to the rights of other citizens which the government is bound to protect, this veil threats by northern conservative elements in defense of the fulanis is an indication that the other parts of the country are about putting them in their rightful place,let the governors stand firm n confidently insist on non open grazing but ranching of cattles,it's either the fulanis buy the land n establish the ranches or the states create the ranches n the fulanis get registered n use the ranches paying a stipulated annual fees period,the far north has always been using the threats of violence to hold the country to ransom there must be a way for that to cease n anti open grazing is one of them,there are lots of government built markets n shops individuals use for rent let the same thing be replicated with the fulanis n ranching.

personally I don't see anything wrong with the RUGA idea rather I think it's very good, buhari/Apc needed to just have started it up north where the fulanis are indeginous poeple n in any other state voluntarily interested, naturally within a few years the RUGA would have gain national acceptance n spread perhaps with some modifications if it turned a success.buhsri's perfectionist emperor attitude is been a major hindrance to effective governance that is been exploited by his various gang of cheerleaders for various interests.
I'm not insane, in fact I'm more reasonable than you,what I said is a fact you didn't contradict,as for payment,the 'saints' can carry out their investigations n then deal with the issue the way they deem fit,but the act of first blaming pdp for every issue only for later facts to prove otherwise is disgraceful n embarrassing to the country.
seunmsg: Do you even understand the procedures stipulated in the public procurement act to be followed before awarding such a contract? The AGF as at when the contract was signed is telling you that the FEC did not approve the award of the contract and you are here shouting that we should go and pay. You want your country to pay some dubious Irish for a contract that wasn’t even validly awarded?
Even if you hate the president, must you hate your country? Every reasonable Nigerian should be concerned about the criminal intention behind the contract. The fact that our law was violated in the process leading to the award says it all. This is the time to get patriotic and drop the silly APC vs PDP mentality that has eaten deeply into the brains of some of you. Nigeria will not pay that silly company and their corrupt collaborators any $9billion.
Apc cause the problem,for every issue without even checking up the details,they quickly rush to blame it on pdp,but I always trust mr factopedia RENO OMOKRI to clear their lies, deciet n propaganda just as in this case,so first try to preach to buhari/Apc to change their ways.
9jatriot: Conceptualized by PDP, Planned by PDP, Designed by PDP, Implemented by PDP, Defaulted by PDP before they suddenly got thrown out, now they want to use the backdoor to collect the money.
By the time the truth of the matter comes out, we will all apologize to Invictus Obi for calling his scam the biggest scam in the world.
If you do a google search for P&ID, it will return a result that those in the Oil and Gas industry know it to be Piping and instrumentation diagram. Now humor me and do a search your self on your PC for P&ID company, on my own PC, up to page 3 of the returned result, there is no such company listed, the closest to the company are all as a result of the court cases. When I first heard EFCC was involved in reviewing the case, I was wondering what concerns EFCC with court case, now I now see that some people have really developed a lot of skillful ways never before seen anywhere in the world of defrauding their country.
Nigeria has to go back to the days of fire squad, many people have to be fired in a televised session for some others to have sense.
This case will die a natural death because Las Las efcc will discover that the northern cabal that took advantage of the yar'adua situation to manipulate the country were behind it,I will not be suprise if members of that cabal are supporters n sponsors of this government.
IssaGist: That curvaceous actress, Amara Maduka, has one of the biggest backsides in the Nigerian entertainment industry is not in doubt.
The Anambra State-born role interpreter, who has featured in movies such as ‘Okrika’, and ‘Maduka’s Daughter’, said curvy women are better lovers.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, the sensually crafted and daring actress said, “It’s not up for debate. I think it’s an established fact that curvy women are better lovers and great at sex. They are the juiciest so, technically, they’re the sweetest”.
Maduka who loves to flaunt her feminine assets also stated that most men feel threatened by intimacy gadgets.
She said, “The controversy surrounding intimacy gadgets is really unnecessary to me. Men act like the toys are going to replace them but I don’t think it would. Eventually, a woman will need the warmth of a man and the toys won’t provide that. Toys are basically for emergency situations. When the human isn’t available and a girl has to help herself, a intimacy gadget comes in handy.
“It can also be useful when you just want to stay of relationships and put your life together. I will advise women to use intimacy gadgets. Instead of having to sleep with different men for satisfaction, you can give yourself same and in most cases, better orgasm.”
The actress also added that relocating to Lagos remains one of her best decisions. “Relocating to Lagos remains the best decision I’ve made for my career and it’s paying off,” she said.
bonnylight003: Water and oil are so different.... That's the honest truth. Some will quote me and pretend against this truth.. But like pregnancy...you can hide this fact..
please can you explain how the igbos n yorubas are so different n why they can never work together in harmony?
Logobenz3: I write this with a lot of pain and grief. This was a bad one.
I woke up to a call yesterday of a loved one calling me and panting over the phone. I was like sister what's the problem?she shouted Amen upon hearing my voice. I too, scared had to ask her again what the problem was?
She said that a vessel named Austrheim just sank at sea and knowing I do a lot of business with that route,she just had to call to make sure her loved one was not in it!
Actually I did not travel due to improper schedules of arrival of some of my commodities,making it impossible for my commodities to meet up with departure time of this particular vessel. I was mad!!!little did I know that I was about to be saved of a huge financial loss that would have crippled me financially and put me in turmoil. Every disappointment is indeed a blessing like people say.
At this point I just have to believe my mom's prayers actually works!
I was speechless,my heart fell in my stomach because I knew what it meant for me. Lots of money and lives lost!people have perished and livelihoods lost.
But at this point money isn't important but we should all give a moment of silence to the hustling men and women trying to make a living for themselves in those waters.
It left calabar on Saturday morning heading for tiko, Cameroon and never made it. It actually sank in the bakassi peninsula.
Word from survivors say it ran aground due to the captain's negligence and incompetence.
106 people have been rescued so far and I have started seeing missing person pictures of people I know too well and all I could do now is hope it is not what I think yet.
So because you were not involved,it's a blessing n those who were unfortunate don't have prayerful mothers abi?, continue.
Chelsea82: Here is the video showing the moment a beautiful tall Ghanaian Queen was asked to pick rubbish from the gutter after she was caught throwing rubbish from a car in Ghana.
This is very shameful act, telling a lady to jump into dirty gutter just to pick what she throw in is really a bad act.
what do you mean by shameful!, the officers need to be commended,that serves her n anyone with such habit right,In she should be made to evacuate the gutter self,slay nonsense.
isthatso: Like i said please stop quoting me if you want to define the discussion as you go along. If you look at my original post you will see you have gone off course. Atiku is enjoying his money in Emirates hills dubai, I advise you to find something doing with your life and stop dragging topics on internet for days.
I can see you are among the type that talks before reasoning n expect everyone to just accept your views,if you may know I'm gainfully employed n leaving a good life ok.
Some security operatives just talk anyhow with out thinking,for God's sake, even if you suspects him,why not just pull him over n ask him calmly in a professional manner to properly identity n explain himself,then proceed from there he might be impressed n voluntarily tip you handsomely.
