Saao:
You're calling the person useless for saying the obvious. Whether the writer voted for him or not, he is the governor of Benue state and the constitution empower him to serve the entire Benue not segment of Benue. He is one year in office, every development ought to be spread in the entire Benue. Stop defending the obvious. Nothing last for ever

See, judge the governor after his tenure. What has he done in my local government so far?, nothing, am not complaining, I believe he will surely touch every local government. Since 1999, no progress in the state. The governor is not a magician to turn around the fortunes of the states within a year. It will take years, not even 8 years will do.
If we are to start talking about tribalism, David Mark is guilty of that...

Politics › Press Release : Benue State Government Yet To Take Any Loan by Fmartin(op): 7:29pm On Mar 31, 2024

Press Statement

THE GOVERNMENT OF REV. FR. ALIA HAS NOT BORROWED ANY MONEY SINCE INAUGURATION IN MAY 2023.

Sunday, March 31st, 2024.

We read a report in the Punch Newspaper of Sunday, March 31st, 2024, wherein the reporter alleged that, 13 new State Governors, including Benue, collectively borrowed N226.8bn from both domestic and external financiers, between the period of June and December, 2023.

The analysis according to the reporter, is based on the latest sub-national debt reports released by the Debts Management Office (DMO).

We want to state emphatically that, the government of Rev.Fr. Alia has not borrowed any money from either Domestic or External sources.

All debts mentioned in the said report were incurred when the Governor Hyacinth Alia led administration took over on May 29th, 2023.

Let it be known that the government of Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia is skeptical of borrowings, and will only do so when and if it becomes necessary and it is in the interest of the Benue people, especially to fund critical projects.

We challenge the Punch Newspaper reporter to be more investigative in his reports, providing accurate facts, which is a key component of journalism practice.

Sir Tersoo Kula (MNIPR),
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Benue State.

Politics › Re: Benue: No Peace Since Alia Became Gov, We'll Ensure He Returns Home - Titus Zam by Fmartin(m): 4:33pm On Mar 05, 2024

Am surprised how pple tend to comment on nairaland topics without knowledge of what the topics are all about.
This is jus another Wike and Sim issue displaying in Benue.
It's not about the governor's inability to perform.
Akume underrated Alia, thinking he knows nothing concerning politics. The Rev. Started by fielding his own candidate as the speaker, who eventually won, now in control of the assembly.
Nxt, all this fight is about 2027, Controlling party structure will determine the primaries come 2027.
Sharing of state's funds is another issue the governor don't want to hear.
Don't forget the Local government chairmen, the governor preferred his own candidates which is another issue.
The best thing is, that, Alia will not embezzle the funds. Workers are being paid, development coming in small small..

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It True That Witches Use Trees As Their Covens? by Fmartin(m): 3:37pm On Aug 13, 2023

zukky79:
Back in secondary school, I was a boarder. As we were about to write our Waec exams, myself and two other friends (one is a top standup comedian now) were bored so we sneaked out off the school compound and walked to town to try our luck chasing some village girls (the school was boys only and is located in a village in Delta State).

To cut the story short, after frolicking with some girls, we were on our way back to school, trekking through a narrow, bushy road, gisting loudly about our escapades when we walked under a small tree that grew by the roadside but had it's branches covering the road.

As soon as we walked under the tree, I experienced a sudden change in temperature. It was as if we were by an open fire, the type you get when burning dry bushes. So hot. Goosebumps appeared all-over my body. The friendly banter died off. We were silent. Immediately we walked out of the tree shade, I was hit with the contrasting cold breeze. The heat only manifested UNDER the tree. Time was past 8pm.

We walked silently for about a minute before I summoned the courage to mutter to my friends "Una feel that heat under that tree just now?" My friends confirmed that they did! It dawned on us that something strange and unnatural was happening around the tree. Ol' boy! Come see race! We ran as fast as our legs would allow back to the hostel!

Most friends didn't believe when we narrated our experience. Some said the tree was a coven for witches. Well, as for me I never passed under that tree's shade ever again, even in daytime. I avoided it always. Lols.

I miss my teenage years. Such carefree life. Abeg adulthood na scam joor.

That's not a proof of witches gathering under a tree. At night, tree give out carbon iv oxide and take in oxygen.,hence the reason for the warm air under trees at night.

Nairaland General › Was This The Handwork Of Yahoo? by Fmartin(op): 11:29am On Aug 10, 2023

I wan to share what I experienced yesterday on Facebook.
A guy sent a voice note to me on messenger.
When I opened it, I heard him saying, "Fine boy, send me 5k, as I dey like this, I no get anything....." at this point, I started feeling uncomfortable, i stopped the voice note and prayed..
I nearly ran out to the street barechest.
I didn't know what was happening.
Was this kinda yahoo hand work or what?
The guy in question, I don't knw him, we jus friends on Facebook and we've never chatted.

For him to authoritatively asked me for 5k as if he knws me gave me a concern for thought, coupled with what transpired after listening to half of the voice note...

Seriously, i feel guilty walking away and leaving her with the pregnancy, i put my sister in that shoe, I wouldn't want someone to do that to her.
Besides, the kid she has, her father refused to give her out to the guy that got her pregnant, that he dont want him to marry his daughter.

I am running out of patience..

Your sanity should be a priority to you.
She should have cut off communications with her ex without you telling her to do so.

A lady that has a serious relationship that is leading to marriage should have no business with her any of her ex. Changing SIM card will not solve the problem, she can still link up with them on social media.

You even mentioned physical fights, please if you both are not compatible and if she is not willing to cut off communications with those guys then there is no need to tie the knot.

Thanks for your advice dear..

Bro, is it before you got her pregnant she has been talking to her EXes? Or after you got her pregnant??... BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PREGNANCY.

See, you should not feel pressured to marry her... A spouse with BAD ATTITUDE can shorten your life with high blood pressure... pls be wise, don't rush. HACCK her phone and check all her messages o... KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. She may be with you for your money or because na u mumu pass.... So pls stop being NICE and become wise

I

She don't have a big phone.
The pregnancy is sure mine

I have access to her Facebook.
She's just acting cool with her exs unlike me that told them am married.

She's really hurting me.

Romance › What Should I Do About This Lady I Want To Marry? by Fmartin(op): 8:55pm On Jan 09, 2023

I am dating a lady, and we are about to get married. She's already carrying my baby.
I have taken her to my parents. I have never taken a lady to my parents before. I have seen her parents too, and have communicated my intention to marry their daughter.

The only thing holding me now is to get things in order before paying her dowry.

The main problem now is that we keep having issues, coz, she's always making calls with her exs. i have confronted her on Several occasions, we have had fights, physical fights as well.

She told me she dont have the guts to tell them to stop calling her. She can only keep playing them till they walk away.
I told her i dont have that Luxury of patience. She has to choose between me and her exs.

Now, the issue is that she's pregnant and I have already taken her to my parents, they all like her.

I would have broken up if not because of the pregnancy. Coz, I wouldn't want to leave her with the pregnancy like that. To make matters worse, She have a kid out of wedlock. Though the father of the baby and her are not in good terms.

I hhave told her to stop making calls with her ex, but she seems sturbon.
She's ready for me to Change her sim card but I want her to use her sanity and end things with her ex in a boldly manner rather than hiding under the guise of changing sim. I have registered a new sim, but It's still with me, I have not given her.

Am confused, I need you guys advices for way forward.
No think insult, coz I gaht over dose.
Peace.....

The Bible never said Jesus spent 72 hrs in hell.
The Bible states that Jesus spent three days and three nights.
Friday night and day, Saturday night and day then Sunday night and day, all these days he spent part of them in hell.

Mortals won't understand the calculations of God. 5000 years is 5 days to God.
God promised Adam that, after 5days,he will send his son to redeem him from sin.
Read the book of Enoch.

The Beautiful Stranger At Gboko - A Narrative Poem by F.Martin
(C)2019.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

One day at a Flower shop,
I met a man selling chocolate,
For money he wanted to swap,
But I really wanted some auklet.

"Got any auklet?" asked I.
"For that's how I'll spend my money".
"No auklet here!" said the guy.
He seemed to find it quite funny.

"We've got some lovely candies,
I'll give you a very fine price".
"I'd rather have some andes".
The man blinked rapidly thrice.

The man seemed exceptionally calm,
And his manner was strangely amused.
He wasn't what I would call pomme,
Great disdain he noticeably oozed.

Like others, he thought I was odd,
Some say I'm a bit handsome.
Still he gave me a courteous nod,
As if he thought I was plenty dutiful.

So in search of my goal I departed,
But before the Flower shop could I leave,
The man came running full-hearted,
"I can help you I believe."

"Chocolate, auklet, you shall find.
Candies, andes, you can get.
You must now open your mind,
And get down to gboko Market.

So to gboko Market I decided to go,
In search of the auklet I craved.
The winds it did eerily blow.
But I felt that the day could be saved.

There were stalls selling shoes,
Clothes in many shades.
There were even stalls selling sous
People were scattered from many trades

I was greeted by a peculiar lady,
She seemed to be rather beautiful
I couldn't help thinking she might be quite shady.
I wondered if she was at all dutiful.

Before I could open my mouth,
She shouted, "For you, I have some auklet!"
I headed towards her, to the south,
Past some candies and chocolate.

"But how did you know?" I asked,
"Do you want them or not?" she did say.
Silently, the auklet she passed.
Then vanished before I could pay.

As I walked away I hard a crackle
Or was it, perhaps, a hushed cackle?
