Why not also follow up on what Dr Ganduje tried to do in Kano by making it bigger and building more in the core Northern States? He built a settlement for herders. I think it was in Falgore forest.

Why is there so much focus on Plateau and Benue which are in the middle belt?

Probably the territorial masters working towards expanding their territory as usual. The Governor once spoke about it happily.

They looked for trouble and found it in quantum!
They're on YouTube videos pleading for suffering innocent Yemenis while finding enough money to send bombs to Israel. If only, they focused on their own issues, Saudis and others are more than capable to help them.

Late Alaafin Adeyemi didn't have issues with the current Ooni. They had mutual respect for each other. He knew about Oyotunji but didn't make an issue out of it. The village wasn't created by the Alaafin of Oyo. Some Americans chose to do that on their own. They could have given it any other name. Probably, the idea of the Old Oyo Empire appealed to them but they know that Ife is the orisun and so they aligned with Ooni.

One wonders why the new king has chosen to be unnecessarily aggressive.

Well, in my opinion... this supremacy issue is thrash and rubbish.
So, let me speak about courtesy... 'A fellow high ranking king walked over to greet you; courtesy demands you stand to greet him in return as a fellow high ranking King'

But, we are in Nigeria where we like proving supremacy either in a subtle way or otherwise.

This is not only peculiar to the Yoruba kings...

You're right. It's basic courtesy.

This is Mary, a Northern girl who was picked up and rescued from an IDP camp in Adamawa about 7 months ago. She’s not in anyway related to Yorùbá.

Some people will set up an evil agenda, and when it backfires, you start playing the victim.

True. The seemingly autistic boy that he picked up from Makoko isn't Yoruba too.

I am yet to see a politician so bitter, petty like Gashagua

Too arrogant and reckless

Ruto is working with Raila now , the way Mount Kenya will be played politics heh

Maybe, but is he telling the truth?

Ajayi Crowther is from Iseyin, precisely,
Osoogun. Not related to any alaafin

Osoogun is close to Oyo not Iseyin.

Yes, because if she didn't, what efforts did she make before she died, probably nothing

Very heartless comment! How can a young lady fight off 3 men harassing her? She could even have been drugged. Most heartbreaking incident.

May those men be sentencd as they truly deserve..

The place looks like Unilag.

Pastor Bimbo touched many lives. May her soul rest in peace.

Congrats and respect to them. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very sad indeed. The hospital should be sued. Responsible doctors consider alternative power sources before carrying out a surgical procedure.

Incredible. Now they need church to grow. How please? How will church grow when u take away all the basic fund for the expansion of the ministry. U zap contribution and expect people to raise money over and over. These pastorpreneurs are not align with what is going on in the economy. They are either blind or just wicked and shameless.
My father was a faithful elder . He is sick. Those he called fellow elders came and gave him 5k. I told him if u save your penny for the rainy days nobody will come and dash you 5k after all your contribution.
They ask you to contribute for school projects when they started university process but that's the same school people cannot afford. Wicked souls don turn church to betting franchise. Nothing important is going on anymore. The word of God is gone.
Why u go say God say 10 percent and u cgreedy G O carry all the money. quote author=aswani post=135144050]

Di tin weak mi and I get Tory wey relate.

My uncle is a Pastor in one of Adeoyes's very lucrative franchising system. One of the long standing Deacons had a kidney problem and their franchise customers donated and reached out to others.

I innocently, and thought reasonably, asked why a profitable entity like Adeboye Inc. could not pay for the procedure or at least the branch ask headquarters if they could use the monies they remit weekly to pay for the procedure.

My uncle nearly fainted, when he gathered himself, he politely said they could not do that as such a request will be refused.

Black Pastors are not kidding us, ńa we dey do oursef.

Ha! But they have donated dialysis centres in some places. Why can't members benefit? The best thing for anyone though is health insurance.

Prosperity priest aka pastorpreneur. The Bible emphasises that we must take care of the poor, widows, orphans, prisoners, the sick and the helpless. It is stated that the poor will always exist. They are not to be derided but supported and uplifted.

Jesus said it is harder for a rich man to enter into God's kingdom. He acknowledged the poor widow who gave the little she had. He made it clear that the poor are blessed. The story of poor Lazarus in Luke 16 also teaches that wealth doesn't guarantee God's favor.

Congratulations to them.

WEMA ALAT is so reliable.

Sirianese:
Some retirees don't do it as a hustle they just need the human interaction

You got it. Even here in Nigeria, there are elderly people who like to work just to keep busy and for social interaction.

Kudos to the Nigeria Police and Interpol.
He must face the consequences of his actions.

How will lands in places without any infrastructure be developed? Not everyone who hasn't built is hoarding. Some lands were allocated without any access roads especially in the local council areas.

He must he reading a different Bible!

Afolayan film village in Ibadan

Ibrahim Chatta's own is in Kwara state

Both are in Oyo State. Chatta's own is in Balogun village.

Really good for film making and tourism.

The problem is that it seems that there's no consideration for the victims. This means their losses are permanent while their tormentors are rehabilitated.

meobizy:
Is it really rape if she doesn’t mention the name? Be wise, children. If she didn’t make up the story, she would’ve reported him long ago.

If you've met a rape victim before, you'll understand why they find it difficult to talk about it. I once referred a lady to Mirabel Centre. It took a lot of persuasion, prayers and assurances to get her to divulge the details. Thankfully, she was counselled and well cared for at the centre when she eventually agreed. I feel so sorry for rape victims. It's not a good place to be.

What have they done for the victims of the insurgency? Many of them are wasting away in IDP camps with no hope for a better future.

Many of these children will technically be siblings since it's possible that few men are engaged in the act of impregnating the ladies.

Do they ever think that same kids dispersed to different places could meet and marry someday?

Very heartless human beings!

FG should direct CBN to open accounts for each LG and credit their allocations to the accounts instead of crediting joint accounts or whatever name they call it. There's no point waiting for statements of accounts except if the States are mandated to submit same on behalf of the LGs having spent the funds on their behalf. If the LG Chairmen still choose to pander to the governors against their constituents, the masses can take up the battle.

If only the terrorists, herders and "unknown gunmen" will allow farmers to work diligently and without fear on their farms!

Take away insecurity and encourage modern farming methods, Nigerians will feed themselves.

It's nice to know that some of them have been fully rehabilitated. I pray that they stay on the right track henceforth. However, I believe that it's good to make it known that there are consequences for every action. Punishment often serves as a good deterrent.

The government should find a way to compensate those whose lives were disrupted by the crazy actions of the terrorists. They should also be resettled in their ancestral homes (if they're in IDP camps) and helped to resuscitate their means of livelihood.

Very sad for Plateau people. Let's hope and pray that it won't be a double loss if the attackers settle in their villages as the victims end up in IDP camps.

Maybe there'll be more investments here when those in the agricultural sector are sire that they'll not be sowing for herders and their cows to reap.
