Christianity EtcRe: Is It True That Dead Bodies Wake Up At Night In Mortuary? by emmydee(m): 4:36pm On Jul 04, 2022
This is very true. Not only in the morgue. The day my mother died, after putting her corpse in the mortuary and returned home, I heard her voice shouting to a little child who stayed with her to “get out”. What happened was that as we got home that night, we were all in the sitting room discussing when NEPA took light, the little girl was already sleeping on the couch. So everyone went into his bedroom leaving only that little girl there. Actually, the 7 year old used to sleep on that couch, so nobody thought about her sleeping there alone. So around 2am, I was deep asleep myself but suddenly I got awake and then heard that sharp and loud command in my Igbo dialect which means “get out of here”. I never heard any more sound. Funny enough, the little girl did not know that mom had died oo. She died in the hospital and we got home late by which time she had already slept. When I asked her in the morning if she heard that command, she then told me that it was 3 times that she heard it and she became frightened.

Like seriously, I don’t know what is still giving APC and PDP supporters strength to move on. APC and PDP will share their votes and that will bring them down even in their strongholds but Labour Party will win massively even in areas you don’t expect.
Has anyone thought about what will happen in Lagos? Hmmm, e go shock una. We are changing our polling units to Lagos oooh. E go shock una. We are not traveling anywhere during the election. We die here!

CAN and its minions think this is another crusade. They've injected poisonous religious sentiments into politics.

Anambra state is still the bastion of filth, crime, corruption, death, destitution....yet they want some people to believe Peter Obi is some miracle worker.

E go shock una!

There's not a single Muslim northerner or yoruba that'll vote for any igboe.
You are a liar. This call is not about an Igbo man or any ethnic group. It is about reducing the suffering of Nigerians by making things work. We have lived in denials for too long. The Endsars protest was not actually only about SARS, it was about changing the way things are done in this country so is this Peter Obi Movement. I guarantee you that Yoruba and Hausa Muslim voters will vote Peter Obi’s Labour Party massively. Do not be deceived.

HilcomTech:
How can a presidential candidate tells you he went to Egypt to study Power Systems in 3days and now has the solution to all of Nigeria problems. it takes a Nigerian student 5 years to study Electrical Engineering in the university yet Peter Obi studied Power Systems in 3 days. Same Peter Obi that is not even a science student. Same Peter Obi that spent 10 years in the university before he graduated with 3rd class.. yet you are campaigning for him to win. Are you OK? Do you need help?
When I hear people reason this way I tend to ask if people like you actually live in Nigeria. Even if you are benefiting from bad governance, you should understand that over 75% of Nigerians are actually suffering, so you can just shut your mouth and allow them flow. At the moment, your kind of opinion is just 1 in 10,000 which means it has no impact.

Campaign offices don't look like this. It's a proper organisation with different portfolios and team working together....clear kpi, clear objectives, clear plan....some of you guys think taking pictures with posters is structure.....the whole electioneering is one of the biggest projects....that is why smart business men target election season which happens at least every 4 years.

But who go tell our youths to get sense....wishes is not a winning strategy
There is something some of you still don’t understand. Levels have changed. It is no longer business as usual. Most of those who will vote APC or Pdp will be money-induced but those of us who will vote Labour Party will do so based on our conscience and on our conviction on what is right. Before now, more than 70% of Nigerians were not interested in voting on election days but that has changed. In this coming election, INEC will experience an overwhelming turnout of voters and majority of them will be voting the Labour Party because of Peter Obi. No other party has this free “followership”. Currently, there are over 84 million registered voters and still counting. I bet you, more than 60% of those will vote Labour Party on Election Day. So calm down and watch the events unfold.

Methodist Prelate Shares His Kidnapping Experience, Make Shocking Revelations
By Faith Ukanwa on May 31, 20

All Facts Newspaper had reported that the Prelate alongside the Bishop of Owerri Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dennis Mark and the Prelate’s chaplain were on Sunday, kidnapped in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia state. READ HERE


Narrating his experience in a Press conference held at Methodist church yaba, Lagos state and monitored by All Facts Newspaper, the clergyman said their abductors were fulanis alleging that some personnel of the Nigerian Army from Fulani extraction were aiding the kidnappers in their activities.

In his word;

“these people came out from the bush;they divided themselves into 3 places; some people fired at us and there was another group in front to make sure that we didn’t run away; they fired shots at our vehicle and eventually, they abducted 3 of us.

“The communication man of the church was able to escape, the driver was able to escape; the abducted me, the bishop of Owerri and my chaplain and they took us to the bush and were torturing us. It was in the process of that torture that I hit my right eye on a tree. Even when blood was flowing and I was soaking my eyes with a handkerchief, they didn’t feel like anything happened.

telegram
“All they said was that we should follow them; that they were not actually against Nigerian citizens but against the government, that the government is a bad government.

“they are Fulani boys; all the 8 are fulanis; they said the day they will see the president or any of his representatives they will chew him raw; that he is their brother but he has disappointed them and has disappointed Nigeria.

” I said even though am part of government, am a church man am not a government official; they said okay, that is what have saved you, we would have killed you out-rightly without asking for any ransom but now that you are a church man, lets go inside the bush.

“I trekked up-to 15 kilometers but I knew that we were rigmaroling, going up going down and eventually at 11pm they said okay now we can negotiate; each of us will pay N50million and we are going to pay N150million. I thought it was a joke; I said we were going to pay 10million and they said what? Don’t say that; they lifted up their knife to cut me,I said please hold on.”

According to the clergy, the leader of the group is about 35 years while the others are about 18.

He said they had taken his rings, chain, took the money they had on them and insisted on 150 million ransom.

The clergy said the abductors came down to 100million ransom, warning that if they negotiate, they would be killed.

“I said okay. We will pay you N100 million. After some time, they said where is the money and I said this is Sunday night how can we get money this night and you know that there is this sit at home in igbo land. We cant afford the money now be patient till morning, we will make contacts.”


He said they lost patient, laid bishop Dennis Mark down, raised a knife to cut him, while another pointed a gun at him (prelate) to show that they were serious,

“I told them we will raise the money for you. But the irony of it, where they were situated, the soldiers all of Fulani extraction, Nigerian soldiers, they were there at Lomara junction and this boys were going behind them. Meanwhile they kept their cows somewhere, numbering about 200.

He said some people were taking care of the cows while the abductors were parading them around the bush until they settled at a place,

“they said when are you bring the money? I said by 12 noon, I will call the people i’ve contacted whether the money had been raised and I called them, they said that they are gathering the money and they heard it because they said I will use my phone to talk, they cant use their phone, they don’t want to be tracked

“their leader was born in igbo land but his parents have died. He said he was born around Umuahia Amuzukwu and his father was a cow dealer, the boy understood igbo”

He said the leader threatened to kill them if they informed security operatives when they had raised N100million.

The leader asked them to buy 5 ghana must go bags and put N20million in each bag. They left to pick the ransom while four others waited on them with guns.

“around 5;30pm, the youngest boy who I think is a younger brother to their commander said oga congratulations you are free you can go now. We have got our money, you can go. Let me show you the road.

“they took us to old road, where they wrote welcome to Imo’ and ‘goodbye from Abia”.

“they told us that after buying enough weapons, they are going to bring all those people that were driven away from zamfara, katsina, sambisa forest that they are all coming to locate themselves in igbo land and deal with us.

“he said do you know Ibadan expressway? We are in all the bush there , we are also in the south south, we are waiting for the slightest signal we will finish you people and take over this land. They claimed that Nigeria belong to Fulani.

The priest maintained that military personnel’s of Fulani extraction were aiding the kidnappers who disguise as herders in the daytime but are kidnappers at night.

He called on the government to take a decisive action ‘other wise what is happening in the north will be a child’s play”

On how they picked up the ransom, he said the terrorists came to the pick up spot with a truck without a number plate.

He stated that all efforts made to ensure that he is released was the effort of the Methodist church and her members and not security personnel nor government.
FamilyRe: I Am Really Depressed, My Mom's Death Is Killing Me! by emmydee(m): 8:55pm On May 31, 2022
This topic has really touched me. I also lost my mum last year due to diabetes complications. Her leg was amputated. It is a long story but I won’t go into that. Every minute of the day, I mean “every minute “, I think of her departure. It is still unbelievable in my mind how that could happen. I lost my dad in 2017 also due to diabetes complications. We all did not understand how bad diabetes could be and the doctors didn’t make us understand the severity of the disease. I am the first son, she died in my arms. I took her to some of the best hospitals in Portharcourt yet she died. It was actually the day she died that one of the doctors made me understand how bad the situation was and by then she was already in coma. So countless number of times in a day I try to think what we did wrong, what we should have done the other way. I concluded that the amputation was actually a no no. I took her to the hospital today and the amputation was done the next day, no observation or any form of treatment. After just three weeks, she died. I don’t know how to erase the regrets from my mind. The most painful part is that she died just when life was becoming rosy for us her children. All along, she had been managing life while we were hustling. Just when the breakthrough came forth, she left.I pray that God gives me the grace to forget about her death.
HealthRe: My Wound Is Taking Forever To Heal (Graphic) by emmydee(m): 9:33pm On May 25, 2022
Do a blood sugar level test. If it is more than 130, then you are diabetic and that could be why it is taking time to heal. Again, how did the wound come? Did you have a cut or it came on its own? If it just appeared from the blues then it is ulcer and it is a more serious issue.

If the above scenarios are true then, you will have to spend more money bro. Buy organic sulphur by PURE. After using this supplement, then boil Dogon yaro leaves together with lemon grass. Take a glass first thing in the morning and last thing in the night. Also form the habit of taking planting of water especially on empty stomach.
You will get results.
Good luck.

Nairaland GeneralRe: This Is What Will Happen If Nigerians Are Allowed To Defend Themselves With Guns by emmydee(m): 10:28am On Apr 01, 2022
My brother, you can only say this in a civilized world. Nigerian society has deviated from that status long ago. We can’t continue to live in fear of being kidnapped, killed, robbed or attacked and become helpless. Let everyone who can, carry arms. This is the only way terrorism can be abated in Nigeria. The law enforcement agencies cannot handle it at the level it has gone now. May be you live in Lagos, that’s why you are able to say this. If you live in Kaduna or any of the hotspots in the north, you definitely will not be against Nigerians arming themselves.
BusinessRe: Share Your Worst Experience About Online Businesses That You've Done Before. by emmydee(m): 11:31am On Mar 25, 2022
SFI
This is a well calculated scam. I can’t believe this is a scam. It looks like magic. When you register, it is as if they use charms on you. It was when I invested about 25 USD and earned 1.6 USD that I began to think am. So if I go Ketu market buy a bag of Garri for 17k, after selling it, there is no way I will not realize 17,100. But in the case of SFI, I could not even get any where close to my capital. That was when their juju clear for my eyes. My main regret was that I had involved other people in it. So I had to call everyone I brought into the useless SFI to explain and apologize.

Foreign AffairsRe: USA, EU & UK Impose First Stage Sanctions On Russia by emmydee(m): 7:06am On Feb 22, 2022
FERNANDEZISBACK:
US is the biggest economy..yes most world trade happens in US dollars but to make the sanctions effective it need to threaten to sanction third parties...

So for US sanctions to be effective unless US has monopoly on something they will threaten to sanctions not only the country.. but also companies trading with that country...So for example if US sanction Nigeria and BMW export cars there US will sanction BMW and refuse to import from BMW or export anything to that company. Since US is a huge market and most companies of some value have some connection to US this makes the sanctions effective.

For sanctions on Iran big oil companies are reluctant to invest in the oil business in Iran because it can hurt more than they will earn...

Without these third party sanctions, US sanctions wouldn't be effective and companies outside US would get a competitive edges in that region...
What other country has this kinda power?
All international transactions pass through US treasury. If you don’t know this, know it now. If US says you can’t buy, you can’t buy. If the US says you can’t sell, you can’t sell. Ask Iran how far. And that is why US is saying “no “ to Crypto because they can’t control it. Russia will cease to be what it is today if it eventually invades Ukraine. Putin is just a mad man. He will ruin Russia.

TravelRe: Poland Work Visa by emmydee(m): 8:13am On Jan 27, 2022
szczescie:
Let me tell you the truth, I am the most optimistic person here, but from what I have gathered personally the Polish Embassy is trying to make sure not everyone gets a visa. Even those who are qualified.

They are doing so by using this draw system; they said, Your Application number will remain in the draw till you get a date for visa interview or till your work permit or any other document authorising you to work or study in Poland expires meaning they know what they are doing.

They also said 2021 they were overwhelmed by the sudden influx of people who suddenly became interested in studying and working in Poland.

To answer your question the permit usually lasts from 6 months to 1 year but most people with 6 Months permits may likely not get invited by the embassy before it expires and immidiately it expires the thing giving you legitimacy to apply for visa is no more so your application will be thrown out from the system you will no longer be part of the draw

Even students masters and doctoral especially, I haven't interacted with undergraduate students to know but some from the September/October 2021 were still not given visa and instead of talking about fixing interview date the embassy was talking something along the lines of school fees refunds and what not. Men the thing shock me.

If they can do it to students they can definitely do it to workers. At leas students are coming to pay you school fees and books and hostel money while workers are coming to take jobs and earn salary, salary that could have remained in Europe and jobs that could have gone to Europeans.

This people no send at all.
Imagine the nonsense!
