No woman no Cry. The world would be better with no women in them.

Now, women want to be shoulder high with men, forgetting there place.

Please, please please.. what is their place, cannot remember now?

Years back, I had a dream where I saw pastor Chris sitting with another gentleman at table in a large living room and I was standing at a distance watching but heard myself say .... "oh no, so pastor Chris is into homosexuality?" He overheard me and as I walked towards him, he stood with a knife to stab me. I quickly overpowered him, holding him down on his seat and consumed with compassion, I began praying for him that God should deliver him ...........and I woke up!

Till date, I still wonder what that dream means; never attended his church, never met him.

striktlymi: Probably you do not know. Ask anyone who is involved in mainstream journalism in Nigeria and they will tell you that it is 'standard practice' for organisations to offer 'outfield journalists' some form of stipend. It can be in cash or in 'kind'.

This has nothing to do with giving bribe as the journalists are at liberty to report whatever they witnessed on the scene. The stipend is largely given because a lot of these journalists are not members of staff of these media houses. Some work freelance and the pay they get from any job is hardly adequate for them.

As a gesture of good fate, those who request their presence, most often than not offer them something as a form of gratitude. Some journalists will even tell you to your face that they will refuse to come if they are not getting anything. Note that the money given is not meant to influence their opinion on any matter.

If you actually noticed, TB Joshua offered the money upfront without asking them to report what he wants. He went as far as asking them if they have gone to the site and that he does not want to interfere with the investigation.

That does not sound to me like someone who is trying to hide something or bribe anyone.

The reasoning of a corrupt soul.... what a pity. That it is normal does not make it right for journalists to receive or expect brown envelopes from a man who just lost lives and property except the man has something to hide; that is the reason they report lies or half truth. In a tragic case like this, BROWN ENVELOPE = BRIBE

DrDauda: Shut up and free yourself from religious mental slavery; you like the average black african seriously need your brains to be upgraded n remodified.

@DrDauda, FAITH in God, when fully activated, is not religion but relationship with God. Religion = looking for God; Relationship = partnership. The opposite of FAITH is FEAR which is of the devil and leads to death. Note, you can disagree without being rude...is that also impossible? Free yourself too by responding respectfully if you must.
