I don't think this is true. One appreciates what Ambo is doing in Lagos but he doesnt have to denigrate BRF who also did his best at a time that Lagos was in opposition.

If Ambode truly loves Lagos, he should cooperate with the Minister of Works to achieve greater heights. Its surprising and embarrassing that he didnt call BRF for almost two years yet he had pending issues to resolve with him.

The Airport road Ambo was trying to make a big issue of was a project BRF spoke about but could do nothing because the PDP government then refused to cooperate. Maturity is really important at that level of governance. Pettiness is most undesirable. They need to deflate their egos, bury their differences and work together for a better Lagos.

In summary, this is a matter between adults who consented to whatever happened between them (if true). Why can't they settle their issues in court or privately instead of inundating us with stories persistently as if it's a problem for the media to solve? This pull him/her down syndrome without concrete evidence from all parties is absolute nonsense. Time to move on to better things.. ..

I'm getting tired of these Apostle Suleiman posts! If his wife isn't complaining, what's our business really? The ladies are not saying they were raped, it's all consensual if the events truly happened. They're full grown adults and all answerable to God for their deeds. Why bother us consistently with personal affairs? Let's move on to better topics that can impact positively on our lives or simply make us smile away Naija troubles. This one adds no value abeg.

BTW the courts are there for those who want to pronounce him guilty at all costs. Stephanie can go ahead to prove her case beyond reasonable doubt with her videos etc. Media war will not solve the problem.

I think she should proceed with the divorce. The guy is unrepentant and not remorseful. He even left the house angrily when he should be apologizing. I'm not married but the truth is the truth.

Marriage is no bed of roses, that's why it's 'for better or worse' (excluding domestic violence though). There's no perfect man anywhere. Matured people find a way to resolve their problems. If this is the only issue at hand, it's not enough reason to divorce.

@OP
Pray for your sister and her husband. Encourage her to find a way to resolve the issue. Any man or woman who gets angry enough to make divorce the first option for any wrongdoing will find it difficult to stay married to anyone. Remember how Hillary handled the scandal involving her husband not to mention many cases around us here.

If indeed the Apostle assisted the lady but had no intimate relationship with her, then it's a case of 'asore daran' (Yoruba) which means one who gets into trouble after helping others.

It seems only God and the two people involved know the absolute truth.

Hmm! More drama. May God reveal the truth.

More like photoshop to me. Let's see the conversation. Afterall that can be verified through the phone network.

I remember a story that I was told about a Pastor who was to be set up for disgrace. A lady was given his hotel room number and asked to knock on his door. As he made to open the door she opened her wrap around outfit to reveal her stark naked body. Oh la la! Unfortunately for the Delilah, Pastors wife was right behind him ( his policy is to travel with his wife always) so the plan fell through. Pictures would have been snapped if he was alone and the Pastors reputation ruined for life.

Clerics need to be very careful. Never have a relationship with any lady without your wife's knowledge. It's always easy to get messed up that way.

No matter what the old woman did, she is still their mother; I will always put blame on the kids. They are heartless, it's a very simple solution. if Mama is troublesome maybe because of old age, its happens because they will be behaving like a kid when they are old and they will want to be treated with all care, so it's a simple strategy. Just get a nice apartment for mama and get a nanny and you guyz should contribute a certain amount of money for mama every month.

simple

Good idea but I see that they prefer to abandon her in an old people's home. Why cant they recover the apartment MFM got for her, tell their lazy brother to get out and pay the rent henceforth for her?. There are carers who manage the elderly in their own homes. 5 of them should be able to contribute to pay for such services since they dont want her near their wives. Hope they understand the law of karma perfectly well.

It's good to be blessed with daughters really. They often care more for their parents in old age.

I'm a Muslim... Le Boo is a Christian...

my grandfather is a Muslim (Alhaji)... his wife (my grandmother is a Christian (Evangelist Holy Flock)... both resting in peace...

my mom's twin is a Christian (mfm)... her husband is a Muslim (Alhaji)...

all married one woman... all stayed loyal... even me sef...

Anyways... point is... she saw you a Muslim... she fell in love with you a Muslim... why bring crazy condition at one minute to marriage... I won't tell you what to do... whatever decision you make... stick with it and don't let anyone sway you...

oh... my Le Boo...

Her father Muslim... her mother Christian (Methodist)...

plenty examples mehn... and all had one wife...

Interesting! Enlightened family no doubt. I can imagine that there's so much peace and love in the family. It's virtually impossible to have extremists in a setting like this. Kudos...starting from your grandfather.

@OP
There's no reason why you should be forced to convert. A cousin (Christian) was asked to convert to Islam to marry his wife. After dragging the matter up and down for almost a year and his mother in law cursing/ threatening our whole family, they still ended up at the Registry. No Nikkah. Till date, the in-laws are still angry but their daughter is unwavering. We were told that Islam doesn't permit their ladies to marry Christians even though my cousin allows her to practice her religion.
Unfortunately, your fiancée agrees with her family so there's a problem. If you don't have an agenda to convert her, then you should let her know that you're willing to allow her to practice her religion. Sometimes the fear is that you may put pressure on her to change against her wish later when Islamic clerics tell you that there must be Nikkah to comply with Islamic tenets. Nikkah requires her conversion or that you take another wife who will be a Muslim. (That's what I was told in a particular case.) However, Remi Tinubu, Bimbo Fashola, Florence Ajimobi are Christian wives to Muslims and are not complaining.
She should allow you to practice your religion or you reach a compromise if she truly loves you.

Wiseandtrue:
Nice gesture but if he has this kind of money why is his mother still teaching

Teaching could be her passion and probably makes her happy. Money isn't the answer in every situation.

gsmphoneseller:
But why only on Christians??

Why are the Fulani Muslim former governors??

I just wonder why this anti corruption war is only on Christians........

Sule Lamido and sons (Jigawa), Shema(Katsina), Bala Muhammed and son ( FCT minister), Rasheed Ladoja ( Oyo) and Saraki (Kwara) are also under trial. Let's face issues as they are. Corruption is not a tribal or religious matter. Criminals are friendly across board, irrespective of tribe and religion. We should team up to battle them without considering primordial issues.

Anyone who wants to understand the origin of Old Lagos should read the history of the Aworis who are descendants of Oduduwa.

During the time of the British, there was Lagos Colony comprising the Island, Ikoyi, VI and Yaba. Ikeja, Mushin, Ilupeju etc upwards were all part of the Western Region. Thus all the Industrial Estates, GRAs etc were planned/owned by the old Western Region.

...but who all these jet flying G.O s they help with all their huge offerings every sundays and week days...?

A lot is being done by the Churches but little or zero publicity takes place. It's a continuous exercise especially in the old Churches and some of the well grounded Pentecostal Churches. I've been involved in some cases so I know.

Even our Acting VP and wife are great silent philanthropists in their Church and private lives. As Yorubas say omi po ju oka lo or water pass gari in pidgin.

Best wishes and total healing for the baby by God's grace. God bless Big Church for their kindness.

I take God beg you, abeg stop that thing about quality... Quali-what? I worked in one of the private universities at the college of health sciences for years. And I can tell you categorically that there is no such thing as quality in those private walls of the private universities. The fact that the students pay so much makes it impossible for lecturers to assess them objectively. In fact, the management of the institutions oftentimes overturn the senate's decision with respect to results, and awards blanket marks to student. And guess their excuse:....the fact that students pay so much.

They bribe their ways through accreditations, and the fact that they usually do not want to pay quality salaries means they find it difficult to attract the best brains in the academia. They are a dumping ground for tired and retired lecturers and administrative officers... In fact, as an employer I would more gladly offer positions to second class lower graduates of OAU, UI, Unilag, Lasu, UniIlorin, FedPoly Ado etc than 5.0 first class graduates of any of those private universities. No matter how wealthy I am, I will prefer my children to attend public universities which actually equip them with the much needed survival skills and where they actually get trained and rated based on their actual performances and not based on how much they paid in fees.

Private university education in Nigeria, for now is a big joke. Most students are in private universities because they cannot compete favourably enough to survive at the public institutions.

Really? Yet those that you think "cannot compete favourably" are passing professional/ certification exams (including foreign ones) in record time.

Feeling so sad. Mary needs to be rehabilitated urgently. Her love for the prison environment shows that she's been terribly oppressed and unloved all these years. I pray that she's linked to an NGO soon. Maybe she should be linked up with Rose of Sharon foundation.

Please can someone explain why he's not being tried according to Sharia law?
My thought is that conviction may be more difficult under the Sharia law.

I can't help laughing as I remember some scenes in the film.

Prayers are said for him every Sunday in churches. Its not Christlike not to wish him well. Praying for our leaders irrespective of tribe and religion is routine in most churches anyway.

OgaJonah:
Where is dat kalakkuta republic, thought it was at the south east, if so then Ipob youths are being senseless for long.

Kalakuta Republic used to be by the turning towards Idi Oro/ Mushin coming from Ojuelegba or on the right hand side after the railway crossing if you're linking Western Avenue from Jibowu. It's now occupied by some Lagos State schools. He moved to Pebble St Ikeja from there.

No one like Fela!

If there is one thing that makes me believe in Islam most, it is their way of worship....even if we labelled them a Terrorist, atleast they worship together, practice the same doctrine, inrespect of any Islamic association they belong, they still pray together, they believe in ones of God.....unlike the xtians.

Some xtians believe Jesus is God why some believe he was a prophet of God, Redeem goer cannot go to CAC why Winners cannot Deeper life... I stll don't know why xtians cannot worship together, they say because they practice different doctrine

Some xtians don't even acknowledge Celestial, 7days, Jehoval witness C&S as xtians....why?

Who religion help sef?

Sadly Muslims now have different doctrines too. That's why you have Shiites, Sunnis, etc. There are now different modes of worship and lifestyles each claiming to be the right one. Even ISIS, Boko Haram, AL Shabab, AL Qaeda etc consider themselves to be better Muslims. God sees through our hearts and knows those who truly worship Him rightly.

@Op
Wise words.

Always be in touch with your parents, family, siblings etc Don't think your parents are being too fussy or just monitoring your movements or as some will say "treating me like a child". Time and circumstances have changed drastically lately. For your safety, it's important that at least one person knows your whereabouts at any point in time.

May God bless and protect her and all the fighters. Hopefully Boko Haram will soon be history and they'll be able to live in peace. Amen!

No reasonable parent follows a child to school to fight his/her teacher. That's sowing bad seeds into the child's life.

There are better ways of airing grievances. There's a Principal there and the Federal Ministry of Education. Why look for a short cut?

Times have changed indeed! My days in school....that student will surely get expelled. Powerful Principals and strict parents then.

Interesting write up!
Is there still any recognisable distinction between the Hausas and Fulani's today? Is there any Northern town being ruled by Hausas? Kanuris rule Maiduguri for instance.

Bless you gallant soldiers!

PDJT:
Yeah.
Close sources say, the man is quite stingy.
I mean what stops him from sharing two million each to nigerians, before that jihadist returns, if he ever will...

Lies! He is a philanthropist. According to his church members, he and his wife gave scholarships to many indigent students long before he became VP.

Coward Yorubas think Igbos are coward and stupid as them.Igbos will keep giving Nigeria sleepless night and torment them till they allow them go

So much bile! This deep hatred is unnecessary. 'Conversions' everywhere now. Only God sees through the heart.
By the way, remember that Mama Boko Haram is Igbo. Google it. Shes clearly not interested in being rescued. Its wise to treat each case on its own merit while we look at the causes and effects broadly.
The problem is so pervasive. It's no longer about tribes but humanity in general. The battle against oppression and forced marriage/ abduction of minors should be fought by all irrespective of tribe or religion.

Okeikpu:
I will not ague abt other Yoruba States cos they bear Yoruba names
But Lagos is an empty land founded by the Portuguese
Even bear a Portuguese name

Those who stopped the teaching of History in schools did a great disservice!
The first settlers are Yorubas. The Portuguese and Binis came later. Read about Ogunfunminire of Isheri to understand better.
