My local government is in Shomolu, but the LG chairman lives at Lekki...and people here think it's not abnormal!

Nigeria, as far as I'm concerned, is the most religious country on earth! And if you look at that list, all those other countries too are extremely religious.

Religion is an 'outward' show of having a connection with God, and is different from spirituality. And that's what you see everywhere in this country - evil people who practice religion. We keep mistaking that for spirituality. These people worship me with their lips (religion) but their hearts (spirituality) are far from me! Matthew 15:8

Guess who opposed Jesus the most while on earth? The Pharisees! They were the religious people of the time.. the only one of them who wanted to have anything to do with him had to come in the night - Nicodemus! One would have imagined that they would form a large percentage of his disciples but there was not even one on the list.

So if you have this simple understanding, you will see why Nigeria and those countries listed there are a sharp contrast of what you would typically expect from a "praying" (or spiritual) nation

I will suggest they put warning signs (both pictorial and digital) in strategic places (3km, 2km ahead) as well as diversion options for trucks before they get to that actual point.

Please forgive your parents and move on. They've done their part, it's time to do yours. So will you continue to blame them for the past rather than look at your own potential for the future? When you're focused on what should have been, you're delaying on what you could start to become.

And my little advice, don't look at someone else's clock to tell the time. Osimhen is telling his story, you can also write yours!!

Cheers bro.

Love this fiction...creatively funny!

I remember Kara weed in UI back then.. I literally walked back home on my head!

Thank you for salvation Jesus!

Reminds me of the series MANIFEST...watching season 4 this minute

So you want make Nigerian police go "arrest" their oga? Can Oluomo arrest Tinubu??

Those soldiers were just acting along to avoid being mobbed. It's a simple staying alive tactic!

Por siempre en nuestros corazones y en la historia Kareem!
Hala Madrid!

It's not everybody that tells you about Jesus that is inviting you to a church.. there's a difference between religion and relationship!

Unfortunately, even many "christians" are not in this relationship - Isaiah 29:13
They are one of the reasons many have called Jesus a scam!

For those who are so fixated on this world, two questions and one bible passage for you

1. Does the money, technology, fame, power, knowledge and status you garner here go with you beyond the grave?
2. Is there anyone so great, popular, rich and powerful in this realm that has defied the grave?
3. After you've answered 1 and 2 above, try to read Mark 8:36

And never again forget this -- Jesus is about relationship, not a religion! Even Christ Himself couldn't stand the religious people in his time

Righthussle:
The problem is not to embrace Jesus, the problem is the money he needs every week to support his work. The tithe you need to pay every month, the Sunday offerings, the Sunday school offerings, the revival offerings, the mid week services offerings. Having a relationship with Jesus is not cheap.

Really? On what grounds if I may ask please?

Or11:
There's something called a warning which is what you could have told her. Try this stunt in a developed world and watch her sue you.

If it's worth being in the Guinness records, then it shouldn't be an easy task to break...why is this feat seemingly "easy" that every Tom, Dick and Harry is latching on it and ready to challenge it?

What you're proposing is like saying when you break a record in athletics for instance then there shouldn't be any athletic event again for a period.. people should stop training and honing their craft... When it is possible that what you're claiming is a world-class achievement for you is just a walk in the park for another..

Lebron just broke Abdul Jabbar's all time points record in the NBA.. it took 38 years! It's not beans, literally!!

kernniejay:
Guiness World Records should have a policy that record breakers must enjoy their feat for at least two years before any other person that breaks same record after them is recognized. This will also give Guinness World Records some value, it will not make their award a cheap one to win.

There are so many fresh vacancies here people

First, is this a nice-to-have or a must-have? If Lagosians lament about traffic everytime, how will this improve their situation?

Secondly, do we have an independent agency that audits government contracts, process of award, monies spent, justification for the project etc. like you would do doing procurement in structured corporate organizations?

Thirdly, in a densely populated state where people cannot boast of steady power supply daily, how do we intend to manage these buses well? Charge them with generators? Create their own separate grid or charge with solar (which we didn't harness to power our industries or factories)?

Lastly, they call Lagos a mega city yet the citizens' common mode of transportation is a fleet of sick buses mostly driven by men who didn't attend driving school, have no regard whatsoever for traffic laws, and supposedly regulated by hemp-smoking street miscreants. And lest I forget, traffic officers never stop these danfos to ask for their papers, and neither are they on queues where vehicle inspections for licensing is done. So are these oyinbo electric buses going to replace our agbero danfos?

Why do we normalize absurdity in this country?

Public office holders don't stay in the country and keep flying to developed countries to spend the people's Commonwealth and nobody's talking. They even go with paparazzi and send pictures home for their disciples to worship - and those ones cannot even afford basic healthcare. This is just incredible!

And If this one is already traveling here and there now at this point, when he becomes president he'll be going aborad to do even an ordinary poop! It's really sad..how do we move forward like this??

What were the terms of the contract? From your write-up, you were trained for one month, did it mean you didn't work for the period? You know some organizations in these climes believe they've expended your salary when you're sent on training

oladahunsi:
I got a job with a school recently and I did a month training by the school based on the job. I wasn't paid salary, please is there a polite way of asking for the salary?

In a sane clime, government officials in Lagos will use the same BRT bus to and from work! But no, they throw remnants to the public here while they eat like kings... Then they use tribalism and sectionalism to win the gullible to their side while they and their children eat their commonwealth! For those who thought APC was for their tribe in Lagos, will they enter those buses and get discounted fares? For those whose votes were bought for 5k, I hope they can use the money for the next 4 years to cushion fare hikes.

I am Yoruba, and I have roots with the Animashauns of Lagos, and all I ask for is good governance at every level. The only true enemy of the masses are politicians!

Besides that, Nigerians feel that whenever they're singing any song that has God in it, then it's praise and worship.

This is pure gyration and that's what most people do "singing God's song," even in the church! It's all dance, 'go with the flow' and emotions.. no true relationship with the One they claim to be singing to. Some don't even know the lines of the songs, nor understand the language at times. How then do they truly connect? There's a wide gap between being religious and practicing true worship!

Nigeria is a densely populated assembly of religious people!!

DodadaKoKigbe:
No be by praise and worship. Team wey good, good. There are atheists team in Europe that will defeat Super Eagles black and blue.

God does not take sides in football.

I have been privileged to taste Coca Cola in more than 6 developed countries. The quality and taste's different... You can take that to the bank!!

This video's been flying around. Am I the only one who thinks it was scripted?

After this, how many times will he ride on this train with the people he's supposed to be governing? Almost never!
Do they ride on your BRT buses? Do they enter your danfo buses? Do they use the hospitals they commission?

Come on people, think!

Nigerians just don't seem to know what to demand from their slave drivers leaders

Nigeria! Where hospitals REJECT those in need of urgent medical care. He could have survived if he was attended to immediately..
May we not be victims of this failed system in Jesus' name, AMEN!

Nigerians... SMH!
Qatar is pronounced Kotoh
The same way you'll hear some of them call fork "fek"

This one only knows how to declare public holidays...reeks of incompetence like others! Always dashing themselves portfolios and appointments as compensation not minding the impact on the larger society.

To make this announcement, they would have budgeted heavily and even called a press conference.. ancestors that should be in some farmhouse leading 200million people in this 21st century!

Like the police is indirectly saying, "protect yourselves because you can't always trust us"

The #1 point here should have been a dedicated NPF number, SMS number, email, etc. to report cases of kidnapping

A Governor builds a road with the monies of the people, taxes from the rich and poor...and the next thing he gets a cover page mention and people are dancing up and down. Are we okay in this country?

When you pick up your phone to make a call and it goes through, please do you celebrate the network provider for connecting you to the person at the other end? No! Cause that's their freaking job!

The leaders of the Nigerian masses keep making them backward in their thinking and expectations. Kai!

LegacyB:
Mr Macaroni. You are entitled to your choice of Vote Congratulations!. Well i’m unfortunately voting Tinubu. I would have love to vote Osinbajo.

Yes, really unfortunate!!

Honestly, I don't understand the correlation between "proceeds" and burial. What are they selling or auctioning?

When will Nigeria ever ever ever stop this age cheating? We like quick fixes.. Look at how congratulations are flying around.. untop lie??

Jeez!

Claiming these women with small stature are not 17 yet.. Come on nowww

The Airforce of Uganda were displaying their military power and the recent innovation they introduced to their Airforce which is parachute.

I read this with overwhelming shame for the African continent.
