OKUCHI11: Abacha would have still executed them... If not for the untimely death... Remember that even pope visited Abacha in order to plead for Ken Saro-wiwa... Soyinka and Achebe begged too but he still did what he did
According to my uncle..he said Abacha had already made up his mind to execute them that week if not for the untimely death...
He actually wanted to excute them after the election unfortunately he died. He didn't want to kill before the election cos he was selling himself to the international word as a likeable person adopted by all parties
Banbanna: Of what use is a good player if he's always unavailable due to recurring injury? I think it's about time Chelsea ships off Reece James to some low pressure club coz they've got one or two other players that can as well run that position
The formation does not need James even if he's fit. You can see gusto came in later
It was actually 3 -2-4-1 formation. Caceido is a cameo right back
lagostrendboy: Lagos, the bustling commercial capital of Nigeria, is not just a melting pot of cultures but also a culinary haven. The city’s diverse population brings flavors from all corners of Nigeria and beyond, creating a vibrant food culture that is loved by locals and visitors alike. Here are six famous foods that Lagosians eat frequently, reflecting the city’s dynamic and delicious culinary scene. Eyes Of Lagos reports, 1. Jollof Rice
Arguably Nigeria’s most famous dish, Jollof rice is a staple in the diet of Lagosians. This one-pot dish, made with rice, tomatoes, peppers, and spices, is a must-have at parties, weddings, and family gatherings. Lagosians often pair Jollof rice with fried plantains (dodo), grilled chicken, or fish.
Jollof rice isn’t just food; it’s a cultural icon, sparking debates about the best recipe and holding a special place in the hearts of Lagosians. 2. Ewa Agoyin
Ewa Agoyin is a beloved street food that epitomizes the hustle and bustle of Lagos life. Made with soft, mashed beans served with a spicy pepper sauce, this dish is simple yet packed with flavor. Ewa Agoyin is often paired with freshly baked bread (agege bread), making it a popular breakfast or lunch choice for Lagosians on the go.
Street vendors across Lagos are known for their secret recipes for the pepper sauce, which keeps customers coming back for more. 3. Suya
Suya is a smoky, spicy meat skewer that has become a favorite evening snack for Lagosians. Made from beef, chicken, or goat meat, the suya is coated with a blend of ground peanuts, chili, and spices before being grilled to perfection.
Suya spots, often run by Hausa vendors, are scattered across Lagos and attract crowds in the evenings. It’s a favorite for social gatherings, paired with onions, tomatoes, and the occasional cold drink. 4. Amala and Ewedu
A traditional dish originating from the Yoruba people, amala is a favorite among Lagosians. Made from yam or cassava flour, amala is typically served with a slimy, nutrient-rich ewedu soup, and a spicy stew (obe ata). It’s often accompanied by assorted meats, fish, or ponmo (cow skin).
Amala joints are a common sight in Lagos, and the dish is particularly popular in areas like Surulere and Ikeja, where “buka” spots serve it with authenticity and flavor. 5. Indomie Noodles
A modern-day staple, Indomie noodles have become a go-to meal for many Lagosians, especially young people and busy professionals. Quick and easy to prepare, Indomie is often customized with toppings like fried eggs, vegetables, or sausages.
In Lagos, roadside vendors have taken Indomie to the next level, offering “Indomie Special” dishes with added ingredients like suya, chicken, or shrimp. 6. Akara and Pap
A quintessential Lagos breakfast, akara (bean cakes) and pap (fermented corn pudding) is a comforting meal that many Lagosians grew up eating. Akara is made by frying blended black-eyed beans seasoned with onions and peppers, while pap is a creamy, slightly sour pudding.
This combination is loved for its simplicity and affordability, often served by street vendors or prepared at home on weekends. Conclusion
Lagos is a city where food is not just sustenance but a way of life. The dishes Lagosians eat frequently reflect the city’s vibrant culture, blending traditional flavors with modern convenience. From the party favorite Jollof rice to the quick and satisfying Indomie noodles, these meals are a testament to the creativity and diversity of Lagosian cuisine.

Most ladies I approach are either in a relationship or they are married. I end up getting disappointed. I have observed that most ladies 20 or above are in a relationship.

The only single lady I found was so rude and disrespectful. I had to abort any relationship because it the thing I can never tolerate.
You ve been going to the wrong gathering...To meet single Ladies, engaged in meetings or programmes where you ll likely meet one.

meobizy: Nobody forced her to return. Is she looking to settle down? That’s what Nigerian women normally do — return, find an eligible mate then relocate with him to the host country.
Well, that's no longer neccessary with the new wave of japa, Africans especially Nigerians are all over Europe n America now , increasing the chances of meeting your likes n settling down
Corrections: It is often said among Christians “ that they should love their enemies and pray for them”. Many Christians do make this statement without caring to know what it actually means. Many Christians believe this statement is a call to “stupidity” or “foolishness”.
Matthew 5:54
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.
Now, before we go further, we need to understand what "LOVE" means, then also why do we love.
Using God's standard definition for the word "love". It simply can be summarized as "ensuring that people do the right things at all time". It means correcting people who are not doing the right thing to do the right thing.
Prob 3:12 12. because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Hebrew 12:5-6
5 And have you forgotten the encouraging words (corrective words) God spoke to you as his children? He said, “My child, don't make light of the LORD 's discipline, and don't give up when he corrects you. 6 For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.”
These verses point out that discipline is an evidence of the Lord's love. If He did not love us, He would not discipline us.
Now, correction or discipline is usually a though hurtful experience. Even in our society, the freedom of criminals are usually denied of them by putting them in a confined space called "prison" or "correction centre".
As a parent, when you fail to correct your children when they do wrong things, you actually "hate" and not "love" them. Even in marriage, love is far beyond SEX or KISSING. Sex or kissing does not entirely keep a marriage, but doing the right things (correct things which is the real love) COMPLETELY secures it.
Haven used God's standard of definition of what love is as pointed out in the scriptures,what then does it mean to love your enemy? Does it mean we should allow criminals have a filled day harming us without any resistance from us (Christians) NO! Why didn't Jesus show his love to criminals by allowing criminals to kill him when his time to die (as planned by heaven) as not come?
Jesus understands the true meaning of love so he wouldn't confuse stupidity with love. Jesus wouldn’t allow anyone to physically abuse him. Who dares that? Christians need to know this truth that executing justice and loving your enemies are not mutually exclusive.
1 Corinthians 13:6-7
6 It (talking about love) does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
We can see here, that justice is a form of correctional medium through which people can be corrected to do the right thing. Therefore, “loving your enemies” as a Christian is not a call to stupidity or foolishness, it is a call to correcting them so that they can depart from their evil ways.
The "kill your enemy / fall n die " doctrine is wrong. I wonder why people don't have a balanced teaching of the before before using a portion as a doctrine.
BigTolulope: Luke 12:13-21 New International Version The Parable of the Rich Fool 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
While it is good to have plans and be ambitious in life, wealth and material possessions are fleeting, and true security comes from prioritising our relationship with God.

MaxInDHouse: Wives should submit to their own husbands so that there may be ORDERLINESS in Christian homes even if the husband is not a believer he can be won over by the chastity of his wife! 1Peter 3:1-2
If an unbelieving husband can be won over by the wife's behaviour, how much more a believing husband.
Obinrin so iwa nu, olohun o lori oko : A Woman is bereft of good characters, she said God did not destined her to have Husband.
Tareq1105: Even if the 5 bags belong to Obi, doesn't he have a PA? Directors in government and private sectors are entitled to PA, why the pretence? He wants Nigerians to see him carrying bags up and down.
It's a pretentious act and Nigeria and Nigerians would definitely not fall for that. Honestly, Obi doesn't look it. His pretence has entered auto.
lolz....Until you see how life works elsewhere, you will know that some naija mentality are archaic. Also, it's not everywhere you go, you go with PA, driver etc
Suncity4: I met a guy, we exchanged numbers and started talking, on our first date, just on the road to where we can have a lunch, guy was just so rude, he finds every little opportunity to insult any car or trycycle that drives anyhow or blocks his way. He over reacts at everything, I will just laugh at some and some I will calm him down.
I overlooked the attitude that day thinking maybe he had a bad day, but on our 2nd meeting, he did same thing again.
The annoying part is that he didn't see anything wrong in doing that, he sees it as a normal thing.🤦No remorse.
Omo after that day I ex him sharperly, mek e no come reach my turn one day, e fit even turn to beating😂 I cannot come and die because I see man wey get big car😂
I pay attention to signs.
I don't even think it's because he's rich, some people are wired that way
