Dont give Fake News... Justice Salami was Suspended based in the Recommendations of the NJC

What is fake in the news? There exist similarity between the two cases, all boil down to politics and election. Besides I doubt your assertion of NJC's recommendation.

The former president of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami was controversially removed from office by the former President Goodluck Jonathan despite the objection of NJC and general public outcry.

In a similar and dramatic fashion, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen has just been booted out by President Muhammadu Buhari in what many described as coup d'etat against the judiciary arm of government.

The impunity and total disregard to the rule of law as exhibited by the PDP regimes of the past has now been upped by another party in power with more dictatorial tendency. Our democracy is in shamble, the polity is already heated up with just three weeks to the presidential election and we are left with more questions begging for answers.

What if the previous regimes have solidify this democracy by following the dictates as is done in a saner climes? I am very sure that successive governments would have built on that solid foundation, but alas we are in seriously need of a better foundation.

God heal our father land.

The king does'nt comment about his subject, but the subject make lots of remarks concerning the king. From Pele to Maradona, CR7 to Hazard to Neyma etc, are all commentators about the the King Messi, the real G.O.A.T. While the king (Messi) will acknowledge them all with his golden silence, the e-rats will continue looking for the media hyped substitutes as another king.

Long live Lionel Messi, the god of football, the King of football for all generation, the real G.O.A.T.

Poor preparation. The Bayanas just won Cosafa cup in September, beating Cameron in the final.So we can see reasons why they play more cohesive football than Falcons. With more games we may see better performance from our team.

Ekiti guber: RCCG speaks on letter to Fayose, PDP candidate



 July 13, 2018



The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has denied writing a letter of appreciation to the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, for choosing one of its members as the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti.

In a letter circulating on social media, one Bayo Olugbemi, who is purportedly the parish pastor of Victory Chapel of RCCG in Magodo, Lagos, thanked Fayose for influencing the choice of Deji Ogunsakin (pictured) as running mate to the PDP candidate.

But in a statement issued by Olaitan Olubiyi, head of media and public relations of RCCG, the church said the letter was fake.

“We declare unequivocally that the letter dated July 2, 2018 is fake as it did not originate from the said Parish neither was the signature to it that of the pastor of the parish,” the statement read.

“Our pastor whose name was placed as the writer of the letter is not and could not have used the designation of parish pastor as used in the letter. Our pastors are called pastor-in-charge. He does not also use the signature appended to the letter.

“We are not sure who the authors of the letter may have been but we condemn the mischief, falsehood and criminal tendencies involved in the act.

“As a church with members in different social and political associations of their choice, the Redeemed Christian Church of God does not engage itself in the act of open or clandestine support in contests which have her members on diverse sides.”

[quote author=Fame333 post=69023713]Yesterday leads the path for today


Yesterday said development in Lagos predated the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern parts of Nigeria.

As copied.

LAGOS MY STATE
WHO OWNS LAGOS? HISTORY 101:POINT OF INFORMATION

"By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people.Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles.The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil Th.e black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba.By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European
origin.

In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. Telephone links with Britain were established by 1886, and electric street lighting in 1898.In August 1896, Charles Joseph George and G.W. Neville,both merchants and both unofficial members of the Legislative Council, presented a petition urging construction of the railway terminus on Lagos Island rather than at Ido, and also asking for the railway to be extended to Abeokuta. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition,trade and
commerce,infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED

With the little facts above, I would like to educate some illiterates making stupid assumption from blind sentiments that they developed Lagos.

Lagosians had telephone presence in 1886, Itu and Calabar got connected to Telephone in 1923, while between 1946 and 1952, a three-channel line carrier system was commissioned between Lagos and Ibadan and was later extended to Oshogbo, Kaduna, Kano, Benin, and Enugu. Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before your daddies, where then did you get the warped idea that you came to develop Lagos?

By 1856 Cable and Wireless Company of the UK had commissioned a submarine cable link between Lagos and London and In 1851 a post office was established in Lagos; all these before of the emergence of Nigeria as an amalgamated country. If I may ask again, where did the stupid idea that Igbo developed Lagos came from? Or that Lagos was developed with Nigeria's money when Lagos was not even part of Nigeria until 1914.

I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these stupid assertions.

The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from? For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some cock and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts. The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you miseducate your kids with fictions.

Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not because of blind followership but because he gave his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to have a TV station in Africa all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and naked buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from?

The aim of this post is not to deride any tribe but to correct the dangerous misinformation trending among some Igbo youths and common in their narratives that Lagos is a no-man's land and that their fathers built and develop Lagos. Your forebears came to Yoruba-land like every other settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and develop Lagos is a gross display of stupidity because Lagos was already developed before your forebears came here from their villages and towns.

The first storey building in Nigeria was built in Marina, Badagry in 1845, long before some of hinterland people gave up the idea of conical mud houses with thatched roofs which some boastfully called 'ancient mansions.' How can you now claim your grand-sires developed Lagos? Please if you are one of those spreading the fiction, I expect you to desist from self-delusion and collective amnesia forthwith.

The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from Osogun) in 1857. How can you now claim superiority over the Yoruba race and even carelessly affirm that your forebears should be thanked for bringing enlightenment to Yoruba Land?

While I do not see all these achievements as a sign of Yoruba superiority over the Igbo or any other tribe for I do not believe in racial superiority; I will not also tolerate any attempt by bigots who stoke ethnic hatred through incitement and arrogant claims of superiority over others.

I listened to the Prof this morning and I think he meant well for the board, especially in the fight against corruption of JAMB officers and Exam malpractices.

Hey your facts straight ijebus and remos are not the same origin
Remo........ Ile ife
Ijebus.......... Sudanese
But for political reasons ijebus Remo was coined likewise egba and yewas preferably called egbados

The Remos are not Ijebu. There are distinct 33 cities that made up the original remos, hence the sayings "Remo metalelogbon", meaning the 33 remos. All the crowns of these obas were from Ile-Ife. They migrated together from Iremo quarters in Ile Ife to their present location and they retain their original identity of remo. That is why Ikenne is not complete until it is pronounced as Ikenne-Remo, likewise Ogere, Ode, Ilisan etc. Akarigbo is their leader and was never crowned by Awujale. From day one, it has been Akarigbo of Remoland, it was the british that coined ijebu remo for their administrative purpose. "The history of Yorubas" authored by Samuel Johnson would be of great help here.

You can never hear Ijebu Ikenne or Ijebu Sagamu as it preceeds many ijebu towns and cities. This alone should be an eye opener that they are different ethnic group entirely.

I am of the opinion that the most determined team won, but the element of luck was on their sides. Barca probably rehearse better of the likely outcome of their match against psg by beating Sporting Gijon by 6-1, followed by 5-0 defeat of Celta Vigo, all within a week. This should have served as warning to their next victim (psg), but they obviously ignored the warning.

To match fixing apologist, well the 4-0 defeat in Paris can be said to be fixed as well as the 6-1, 5-0 in la liga, and finally the 6-1 mauling of psg going by the trend in barca's recent results. If just one of these three results of barca that prelude yesterday's match can be proven to be fixed, then the 6-1 thrashing of psg is fixed, otherwise its cheer brilliance and luck that smile on barca's face.

I need a rottweiler, preferably under 8weeks old. I live in Lagos.

Ten thousand in greek δέκα χιλιάδες
ten thousands in greek δέκα χιλιάδες
Any difference?

You claimed the book of Jude was written in Hebrew, now admitted it was written in Greek after your lies were bursted. The passage in question is related to several passages in the scripture with similar meaning and interpretation in the Bible. The readers of the book are not confused, except people who are looking for support base for their faith, and selfish motive.

Just go back and learn the difference btw 'Ten thousand' and 'Ten thousands'. Then you will realize that the Holy Bible does validate itself and itself only, and not any other horible books.

By the way, the Lord would surely come with ten thousands (thousands of thousands, multiple tens of thousands, and not your 10,000 jihadist) of his saints to execute jugdement. But before then, continue to search the scripture for prophecies to validate your religion and prophet.

How much do you sell?

Sorry I've seen the price! Is the puppy's price negotiable.

The sermon is very relevant and the OP should make haste and travel to Sambisa forest, IS (in Syria & Iraq), Somalia (for al shabab) to deliver the sermon to his brethren there live and direct. Not to forget also the Al qaeda network.

Besides, it should also be restricted to your mosques because no other person or people need sermon on peace but your fellow warriors.

This ought to be in the front page. To God alone be the glory.

Good for their morale and the coach.

Replace;

'Roberto Mugabe' with 'Mobutu SeSe Seko' of former Zaire

And,

'Paul Biya' with Mouamar Ghadaffi' of Libya

to make it more excellent top 10.

The answer = 89/15

To boycott anything jewish is equally to renounce all the prophets of the Jews, which they claim to be their prophets. Consequently, nothing would remain of their religion because all the prophets they laid claim to are Jews except Muhammed.

The picture is hard for me to believe or take it for real, but the video by olaadegbu is very real. It takes a supernatural power to bring down such bird in that circumstance.

This is ridiculous! Allah warning a lad against defiling a holy mountain in a local language of a community, but writing his name in a foreign language on the same mountain. Too cheap to sell. I thought he can equally communicate to anyone in the same way using the peoples peculiar language.

Waiting for another one on the lagoon soon.

There are Christians who tend to make a point that the Bible mentions in Exodus 3:14 that the name of God is “Yahweh” or “Jehovah” (depends on where one puts the vowels) but this name does not appear in the Quran. Hence they claim that the Quran cannot be the Word of God and Prophet Muhammad (saw) cannot be a Messenger of God, because there is no reference to the personal name of God which appears in the Old Testament 6823 times

YHWH (Yahweh) in the Bible

Let’s first read the concerned verse in the Bible in context:

Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"

God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. – [Exodus 3:13-15]


Yahweh/Jehovah, to prove that he is really a Messenger of God.

“Yahweh” and “Jehovah” are two pronunciations formed by humans much later. Although the Jewish Encyclopedia labels the word “Jehovah” to be a philological impossibility, the Christian world tends to use this pronunciation till this day. Coming back to the pronunciation of this word YHWH, the Catholic Encyclopedia brings it to our attention:

“According to a Rabbinic tradition the real pronunciation of Jehovah ceased to be used at the time of Simeon the Just, who was, according to Maimonides, a contemporary of Alexander the Great. At any rate, it appears that the name was no longer pronounced after the destruction of the Temple.”

Moreover we are also informed by the same encyclopedia that “the modern Jews are as uncertain of the real pronunciation of the Sacred name as their Christian contemporaries”.

Hence one thing has been made apparent that neither the Jews nor the Christians know the true pronunciation of this word. This word was considered to be ineffable by the Jews and thus with time people lost the knowledge of its true pronunciation.


Meaning of YHWH (Yahweh)

As it was made apparent that we do not know how to pronounce the word “YHWH”, we must now look and understand what this word means so as to get an understanding of the word itself. The Jewish Encyclopedia informs us that the meaning of the name “YHWH” is “‘He who is self-existing, self-sufficient’, or, more concretely, ‘He who lives’”. Hence in simplest of terms “YHWH” means The Living and Self-Subsisting.


Did Jesus use the name YHWH?

Up till now two things have been made clear; the real pronunciation of the word is not available and that the meaning of this word is “self-existing and self sufficient”, in short “He who lives”. So now it must be established whether Jesus did use this name Yahweh in any place. The only verse which Christendom can quote to prove that Jesus used this word is in the Gospel of John which is as below:

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” – [John 8:58]

The summary of the above is; YAHWEH = ALLAH
JEHOVAH = ALLAH
I AM = ALLAH

Even to an slowpoke, there was/is no any of this could sound like allah in pronounciation. Continue anyway, the first commentatory actually smelled taqqiyah.

He is free to criticize the gospel and speak ridiculous things concerning other peoples faith. But the moment others speak of his own faith by ridiculing his prophet, it is then the word 'blasphemy' would develop a new meaning and their jihad soldiers would go on rampage killing the acclaimed 'infidels'. Whereas his statement is nothing but blasphemy in the ears of xtian faithfuls.

Hope he is deported back to Afghanistan or Somali because that is where he truly belong so that he too could be a target for the American drone.

Can somebody help here? What is lemon? I always take lime for lemon. Thx.

Personally, I have witness interpretation of tongues and it is real. Besides, contributors so far has not showed deep understanding of the scripture. There is clear difference between BAPTISM OF HOLY GHOST and GIFT OF TONGUE. A believer who is saved and sanctified could received the baptism of holy ghost, which is evident upon speaking of earthly language. People around you that speak such earthly language will not only understand the language, but marvel at the fluency and mastery of the language by the speaker. This is made possible by the Holy Ghost. But bear in mind that the language is purely earthly languaege.(Acts 2)

On the other hand, gift of tongue is one of the spiritual gifts of the church. The one with such gift only speak the language of heaven that confuses satan. When we are praying, we are permitted to speak in tongue if we have the gift provided there is another fellow to provide interpretation, which is also a spiritual gift. So if you are praying and you speak in tongue, and it is a language that is well spoken somewhere on this planet and can also be understood by a particular tribe or ethnicity, then it is not the gift of tongue but rather a baptism of holy ghost. (1 Cor. 12,14 )
