Churches today are dominated by leaders who were not called by God, but by their stomachs. I don't go to church myself, but thoroughly believe in God |
Very good

![]() NwaAmaikpe:They keep pointing at the specks in white man's eyes, but deliberately or ignorantly avoid the logs in their own leader's eyes. The whites learn favoritism and double standard from Nigerian leaders |

If her parents hide her from you, just pretend you are serious searching for her. Then, after a week or two, find a cheap willing girl and bring home. Believe me, the rumour will get to your in-laws within minutes, and they will be the ones searching for you. |
You are not totally wrong in your perception of men. Just pray that those who are ready for marriage should locate you, and you locate them. Once one shows up, he will never back down, no matter your ghosting. In short, he will even love you more for that. |
While Nigerians die daily, politicians only care about the 2023 election. |
Yesterday, beauty queen pageant, today, degree awards. Well, very good. But correctional authority should stop showcasing these types of achievements, less our japa crew stop running to foreign countries and start considering prisons as greener pastures |
Two questions only: 1, Who paid their school fees? 2, Does NOUN operate while ASUU is on strike? |

Well, Mr Adesina, Nigeria government/army did not decimate boko haram; it was isis that killed the boko haram leader and sent their members packing. |
People gather in front of Saudi Consulate in New York to protest against Saudi Arabia's decision to execute three leading Saudi Arabian scholars including Salman al-Awdah after Ramadan, in New York, United States on June 1, 2019. IMAGE SOURCE,GETTY IMAGES Image caption, Previous executions have triggered protests like this one in New York three years ago Saudi Arabia says it executed 81 men on Saturday - more than during the whole of last year. The group - including seven Yemenis and one Syrian national - were convicted of "multiple heinous crimes", including terrorism, state news agency SPA said. Some were charged with belonging to the Islamic State group (IS), al-Qaeda or the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Rights organisations say many do not receive fair trials in Saudi Arabia, an allegation the government rejects. According to SPA, the latest group had been tried by 13 judges and gone through a three-stage judicial process. They were accused of plotting attacks on vital economic targets, killing or targeting members of the security forces, kidnapping, torture, rape and smuggling weapons into the country. Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates in the world - fifth in a list compiled by Amnesty International, the other four being China, Iran, Egypt and Iraq. It executed 69 people last year |
China has sought to keep a diplomatic distance from the war in Ukraine, choosing to abstain in a UN vote condemning Russia's invasion. It is also making concerted efforts to stifle strong views about the conflict on Chinese social-media platforms. It's a fine line to tread. Only last month, Chinese leader Xi Jinping declared there was "no limit" to Beijing's newly strengthened relationship with Russia. What content is China censoring? Posts expressing partisan views have been removed on a daily basis - both for and against Russian military action. "No-one dares to stand with Ukraine right now," wrote one person on Weibo, China's Twitter equivalent. "It's all one-sided support for Russia." This was removed along with many others like it, according to Free Weibo, which tracks Chinese censorship online. And a retired Russian general's open letter calling on President Vladimir Putin to step down - shared on the WeChat messaging app prior to the war - has now been blocked. Some views in support of Russia have also been suppressed. A "thank you" note posted by the official Weibo account of Russia's state-controlled news network RT, expressing gratitude to the Chinese for their support, was taken down, as was this Weibo post: "I'm glad that Russia has taken the initiative to undertake the difficult task of fighting the neo-Nazis in Ukraine. The sanctions imposed on Russia are unacceptable." How does China censor social media? Social-media platforms in China receive constant guidance from the government on how to deal with specific content and are under pressure to follow this. One such instruction was allegedly leaked and reported by the China Digital Times. It was said to have been issued to media by the central regulator the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) this month, calling on "commercial websites, local and self-published media'' not to "conduct livestreams or use hashtags" about the Ukraine conflict. Foreign Minister Wang Yi address by video link IMAGE SOURCE,REUTERS Image caption, The official Chinese narrative is one of diplomatic neutrality It also "strictly prohibited the reposting of foreign media reports" or putting up "malicious messages" favouring one side or another. China media expert Sarah Cook says: "It looks absolutely authentic to me. The source is credible and the instructions given match past patterns of media control." The platforms have been removing a range of posts seen to be disruptive or dangerous, since the invasion. Video platform Douyin, China's TikTok equivalent, said last week it had taken down 498 videos and 2,657 comments - citing misinformation and inappropriate messages that "stir up hatred" or "warfare" - and suspended hundreds of accounts Weibo said it had suspended tens of thousands of accounts and deleted large numbers of posts that "mock the situation" in Ukraine. It also announced it would add geo-location labels to posts to help with verification The video-streaming site Bilibili said last month it had deleted 1,642 "inappropriate messages" and suspended about 57 accounts WeChat and Bilibili have both urged users to be "objective" and "rational" when discussing Ukraine What narrative is China promoting? Official and mainstream media carry regular reports on the situation in Ukraine but have stopped short of calling Russia's actions a "war" or "invasion". Doublethink Lab, which has been tracking disinformation attempts in real time, has pointed out the Chinese media are "regularly quoting disinformation and conspiracy theories from Russian sources". Chinese women watching tv reporting on Ukraine IMAGE SOURCE,GETTY IMAGES Image caption, Chinese television reports about Ukraine do not describe it as a "war" or "invasion" False claims, such as that the Ukrainians set fire to their own nuclear plant, are repeated by Chinese media with little attempt to challenge them. There is also very little reporting on the resistance from the Ukraine side nor the wider Western response to Russia's invasion. "In my view, the censorship over Ukraine content is imbalanced... with comments and voices that run counter to the official [Chinese] position being much more heavily targeted than other views," Ms Cook says. Where criticism of events in Ukraine does appear, it is often directed at the United States, placing the blame on it for fanning the flames of the conflict. In one article published in China's Global Times, the US is accused of profiteering from selling weapons to Ukraine. In another, the US is accused of releasing "disinformation on the Ukraine crisis to smear China". Russia's state-controlled media have a long-standing presence in mainland China, where most foreign news websites are either blocked or heavily censored. Outlets such as Sputnik have 11.6 million followers on Weibo and are often quoted by Chinese official media as a source in their coverage of the conflict. |
