You can't take syncretism away from Nigerians.

Even the brand of Christianity y'all practice is the one that's closest to African traditional religion. Whereas the New Testament says you guys should worship your God in spirit and truth, it's not uncommon to see members of MFM, for instance, praying on water they brought to church. There was even an instance where Olukoya asked congregants to come with sand from their house in order to pray against enemies.

For the Muslims, mystical variants of Islam such as Sufism and Ahmadiyya are common in Nigeria because of its similarity with the African religions.

That's why I have always said ATR is the most common religion in Nigeria.

And do they realise a 50% increase in salary will lead to an even higher increase in inflation? And that the government will need to borrow to pay it? The NLC leaders want bribes.

What's the difference between APC and PDP?

They keep jumping up and down, I hate our politicians

Save our country, vote Peter Obi

Ironically, Peter Obi has changed parties thrice now.

PDP to APGA, APGA to PDP, PDP to LP.

Looking at the saw dust in someone's eyes but ignorant of the Iroko in your eye.

That's why I like Chess.

If you dey lose with absolute no chance, you resign.

Oga even the supermarket bread is treated this way.

After school while waiting for service, I had the opportunity to work in a factory that makes one very popular 'supermarket bread' and also makers of a very popular sausage roll.
My brother, I knew immediately that God is the sustainer of our lives, because wetin my eyes see ehhh

Depends on the supermarket.

Wahala for who chop agege bread

Such profiling will become worse with Tinubu as President. Tinubu may have allied with Buhari but he is a tribal lord who once said "he doesn't believe in one Nigeria".

I stopped reading at 'I am a guy based in Europe and my wife is in Nigeria'.

Guy, na mumu dey marry.

Na double mumu go do cross country marriage.

Unless you are marrying an ultra Conservative Muslim who was a virgin at time of marriage and lives with your family in Nigeria

Or you married a zero libido woman

Or you married a woman who has been a victim of genital mutilation

Or a woman who is a closet lesbian,

Unless your "wife" fits into any of the situation above, then you are being dull to marry, live abroad and expect faithfulness in Nigeria.

Mom007:
You are a small boy trying to play God with what you don't know about. That cheating girl you knew 7years ago is no more o, let me tell you. She is now a mother of 3 children and somebody's wife. Remove hand from her and her family matter before something bad happens to you. Or are you jealous her life turned out better than you expected? The small child you claim you are feeling for, what better place do you think she can be aside from where she is? You want to bring a druggy, junkie, armed robber yahoo boy into the small child's life now and you think thats really the best for her? Can your friend take care of the child? What claim does he have on that child besides donating sperm? Leave that family alone if you like yourself. Besides, if you tell the husband, you ruin the whole family. What of he sends her out with the 2 kids who are truly his and they become destitute in the street? Can you have that on your conscience? Whats it to you anyway? You are not connected to them in any way so whats your own? The woman's karma will locate her eventually, never doubt it but it doesn't need to come from you.

Do you have any proof the other children are his and not for some other men?

If she could do it once, she can do it again.

The husband deserves to know.

Enkidu70:
Fúck that useless hoé. Tell the sucker and let your friend claim his child they'll both be better off for it.

Oil & Gas Mugu will take his younger kids and scoot, ashawo will be left empty-handed because that is what she deserves.

He might not even be the father of the younger kids. Oil and gas workers who work offshore have been known to father the kids of other men.

The guy will eventually trace them and get his daughter.

Paternity fraudsters should not be allowed to get away with stuff. What if this daughter grows up and commit incest with her relatives because she didn't know them?

Better for the truth to be out while they are still children now.

Mumu marry, mumu nor do DNA

Lies.

Peter Obi no different from the usual selfish politician.

As a Christian who is 61 years old, this is the first time he is going to RCCG (probably because it's a Yoruba church) and he is going strictly because of the elections.

Better to be an atheist than a pretender

Donkenny511:
Islam is the religion of Peace, anyone who is not peaceful is not a Muslim.

Hadith one stated that: You are not a Muslim until you wish for your neighbor what you wish for yourself

Should we say Christianity is a religion of fraud because some pastors are scamming people?

Or should we say all Man of God didn't hear from God because some of them give false prophesy?

I am a Muslim and I have never hurt anyone before because you didn't share the same religious beliefs with me.

Unknown Gunmen are not Muslim, the killing in the East are not done by Muslim.

Crime is crime no matter who is involved

This is trash.

The fatwa was proclaimed by the only Islamic theocracy in the world, the Islamic Republic of Iran. Don't come here lying to us that this is done by criminal elements.

The fatwa finally got him.

Why would I believe in a God that needs violent people to defend his "name"

PHIPEX:
Why are you people making IPOB look so powerful, do you have any evidence IPOB has anything to do with this?

Igbophobic should not lead to you to hate-mongering,

The police guy has been very responsive to the public, I wonder what he did wrong.

IPOB is very active online in the realm of fake news mongering and online bullying. It has nothing to do with Igbophobia

Maybe the online hoodlums have done their usual mass reporting

The usual IPOB style

Rawtruth1:
Police authorities are increasingly multiplying robbers inadvertently.

He may be following the laws guiding the disciplined organization but he should watch it. Let him look for alternatives punishments instead of outright dismissing a trained in arms and other security secrets persons.

This is never done like that in civilized world.

The rate he is going, he may wipe out all the junior ranks in the institution.

Dismissing his personnel to please the public is not a wise decision at all. Even if the trained dismissed personnels don't go into full scale crime because of hunger, they may get involved in helping evil people in the society

This is silly fear mongering.

So you think they don't dismiss police officers in Europe or America for the baseless fear of the dismissed officer becoming a criminal?

In civilised countries, he will not only be dismissed, he would go to jail.

By your argument, police officers shouldn't even be allowed to retire na since they know the "security secret" whatever that is.

Uniquekriss:
first time Barcelona isn't represented in this list for over a decade!

Technically, Lewandowski represents them.

Her problem was not being discovered early. Now at nearly 40 (real age), the limitations of her body is not allowing her express her natural talent. If she had been discovered in her teens, she had the potential to be as good as the Martas of this world.

Ritualists or gang members?

This news will not get as much traction as that of the suit.

judedwriter:
Marriage good o....na d kind person wey u marry cause d wahala.

No be every person go marry sha.

Marriage is good for women.

There are no practical benefits for men in Marriage. That's why more and more men (especially those at the top of their career and those who are financially successful) are choosing to not marry.

When a woman marries, we should congratulate her because she accrues a lot of benefits. When a man marries, we should look at him in pity. More often than not, he has acquired problems in addition to the one he had before marriage.

What for?

NYSC has got CDS six days a week. There are Zonal CDS meetings as well. Note that there is no time when there won't be corps members. Port Harcourt, Rivers state and the state gets more postings than the average state, more than 30,000 corps members each batch. NYSC also has staff training workshops on a regular basis. It is highly unlikely that the corps would be able to generate any revenue from that.

Meanwhile, Wike should stop wasting money building stuff for the federal government. He also built a law school. Residents deserve infrastructure that will better their own lives as it is the residents that pay taxes not some law student or corps member on a one year temporary stay.

Yet another mumu married.

Na mumu dey marry

Obidient4life3:
Clown... Obi supporters were never Buhari supporters! Always changing the narrative to suit your clownishness.

All the Igbos (the few of them) that supported Buhari in 2015 are all supporting Obi now with the same Zombie like behaviour.

All my acquaintances from Edo/Delta who supported Buhari's change agenda in 2015 are supporting Obi as well.

Also, any objective observer can see the similar support-without-questioning and here-is-our-messiah support between the Sai Babas and Obidients.

aribisala0:
You cannot speak more than you know.
That place can be rented out to generate money to pay for the building in a few years . It can be used for social and corporate activities as well as by local community.

NYSC will not use it everyday

Actually, NYSC will use it every day.

Urchin, go down memory lane well and quit giving half truths and lies.

Baba Awolowo never wanted to run a christian- christian ticket. The northerners refused to run with him and he had no choice than to pick a fellow southern vice. That was why he lost.

How the North denied Awolowo a running mate, by Chief Babatope

Chief Babatope makes a very startling disclosure about why the Yoruba leader, Papa Obafemi Awolowo, chose a fellow southerner as his running- mate in a country divided usually along North and South lines. Babatope should know.

At the age of 35, he became the Director of Organisation of the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN.
Babatope asks: “Did you know that Papa Awolowo contacted some of his trusted friends in the North, requesting that one of them should come and be his running-mate but they turned him down? They rejected, especially those from the Hausa-Fulani clan.

One of them who was Papa’s good friend, Papa Yahaya Gusau, he told Awolowo that it would be meaningless for him to come and be a running-mate because people are not going to vote for us. Papa also contacted the late Ibrahim Tahir and Tahir said it was going to be difficult for him to team up with Papa. Papa then moved to the Middle-Belt states.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/12/how-the-north-denied-awolowo-a-running-mate-by-babatope/amp/

This is not true.

Wonder why Aminu Kano, Shagari and Awolowo all had Igbo running mates?
