Apostle Suleman narrates how his spiritual son “supernaturally” landed in France from Germany without documents and ticket

Watch video here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ4VwnvlAEw

In as much as I believe that God does miracles. I think faith without works is death. How would a man walk into a German toilet and come out of French toilet? So, for him to go back to Germany, he has to go into a French toilet, to appear in German toilet. Hmm!!! Well, the pastor's story is not first hand, so it could be hearsay. and should not be taken as a statement of true facts. I am not saying that the pastor is lying o! At least, he was reporting what was he was told. The person to be confronted with a barrage of questions is the "spiritual son".

Good point from Mr. Governor. But there are a thousand and one persons that need to have their accounts frozen and investigated (if that is the right procedure). These persons are the Nigerian politicians.
I however question the procedure because, I expected investigation first before freezing of the accounts (if need be).

Nigeria First lady, Aisha Buhari, has called for prayers for Nigeria, IgbereTV reports.

She made the appeal on her Instagram page on Wednesday morning, November 11.

Mrs Buhari shared a photo of a burning candle alongside an Islamic quote with the hashtag

I do pray for Nigeria and the leaders, but I know that prayer without action is worthless. Remember, "Faith without work is death". Both the leaders and the followers need to deliberately work for the good of this nation.

She is not a hero. That is the delusions of all these people.

Nigeria will always treat those who wants its destruction bad.

You wanted a regime change nothing more than that. You wanted atiku all in the name of protest, you were just a useful tool for pdp

In my opinion, the youths' struggle was not for any of the existing political parties or for any known politician or change of any democratically elected government. The protest was geared towards actualizing good governance in Nigeria in an atmosphere of peace and proper accountability to the people.

The approach the government is taking is pathetic. It reminds me of the days of military rule in Nigeria. I expected something better from democratic leadership.

Most recently, “Enough is Enough” was involved in EndSARS protest which may have led to the de-registration.

The executive director of Enough is Enough, Yemi Adamolekun, asks for good governance and government's accountability. So this is one of the strategies employed by this government to clamp down on the people's voice.

EBMedia:
A lawyer, Joseph Arikpo has accused a DPO and his officers in Cross River State of brutalising him when he went to solicit the bail of a young man who had been in detention for over six days, IgbereTV reports.

According to the Calabar based lawyer, the incident happened at the Divisional Police Headquarters in Ikom, on Sunday, November 8.

Narrating his ordeal on Tuesday morning, November 10, Arikpo said trouble started when the DPO called him a stupid man.

Arikpo claimed that when he asked not to be insulted, the DPO 'punched him repeatedly and afterwards threw him into cell where he was further assaulted by some officers.'

Read his post below:

This is absolutely and unequivocally reprehensible. If the story is true and NBA does not do anything or fails to achieve success in the prosecution of the DPO and his cohorts, I will come back to this platform to call the NBA or the court (whichever lets the culprits escape justice) toothless bulldogs. While growing up, I was taught that the judiciary is the last hope of the common man. I'll reserve my comments on what I think about the judiciary until the end of this case!!!

A former minister of aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has labelled the United States Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as the Biblical Jezebel famous for her wickedness and worship of foreign gods, Igbere TV reports.

Tweeting on Monday, Mr Fani-Kayode who has been outspoken about his support for the Trump Presidency claimed the Joe Biden/Harris Presidency was a Satanic one.



https://twitter.com/realFFK/status/1325769214850985985?s=20

Igbere TV reports that Harris is the first woman, the first black person and the first person of Southeast Asian descent to become US vice president-elect.

She hit the landmark on November 7 after Biden crossed the 270 electoral college votes required to be president.

I don't think it is advisable to make defamatory statements and be pleased with yourself.

I don't think it is right to paint everybody with one brush. There were different categories of people during the EndSARS protest. There were the peaceful protesters, who were indeed peaceful and clamoured for good governance and end to police brutality; there were thugs (maybe political thugs), who were engaged by undisclosed persons to disrupt the peaceful EndSARS protest and even cause mayhem against the peaceful protesters; there were the hoodlums, who on diverse reasons engaged in destruction of property and vented anger on both the private and public enterprises; and there were the larger population of people, who were ridden with poverty, so used the opportunity to scavenge for food (palliatives). So, I do not think it is fair for the federal government to put everybody including the destroyers of public property and looters, as EndSARS protesters, with the aim of punishing perceived leaders of the peaceful protest. The peaceful protest should be divorced from the looters of shops and the destructive thugs. I'll advise the government to work towards actualizing peaceful coexistence, promoting good governance and meeting their developmental programmes (campaign promises) so that Nigeria will not see a repeat of anger or distrust. I'll further advise every political office holder to revisit the Constitution he/she swore to uphold and read through to assess him/herself.

The laughter does not make sense to me. Or was he mimicking Trump? What edification can be got from the laughter that made members of the congregation to stand up and laugh along? I need to see the full video to know how the clergy got to that point of laughter (on media saying Biden won the election) and what he said or happened thereafter.

Please tell us who will be the next president of Nigeria come 2023 so that we will know whether to pray to retain the name you will reveal or to pray against it.

Please who will be the president of Nigeria come 2023? We may need to know from now, so that we can start praying either to retain the name or to change the name!

The historic emergence of Joe Biden as the 46th American President and the circumstances surrounding his closely contested election with Donald Trump were ‘prophesied’ by prominent Nigerian Prophet TB Joshua.

On December 28th 2019, Joshua included a message regarding the American election in his prophecy for 2020 which he termed ‘The Year Of Humility’.

"Approach to the security issue will affect the candidates and swing voters in the next election,” the cleric declared. “It will be tough in the election. They should pray against a recount. It may be too tight."

Subsequently, on November 1st 2020 – two days before the election – Joshua spoke with further clarity regarding the election, plainly stating that he saw “a new President”.

“We Christians would have loved it to go the way we wanted,” he admitted, referencing the huge support for Trump among evangelical Christians.

“But the Bible says it is never proper to base our faith on our improvement after prayer. We should not worry. The joy is that the new Supreme Court Judge, Amy Coney Barrett, will be an instrument of check,” he continued.

“There is likely going to be pockets of resistance here and there but nothing will change. Let me reserve what I am seeing until the inauguration of the new president,” Joshua concluded.

The “pockets of resistance” evidently refer to Trump’s stubborn insistence that the results were fraudulent and his refusal to accept Biden’s mandate.

Trump’s legal team have already indicated they will insist on a recount in several battleground states, equally confirming Joshua’s prediction of a recount after a tight election in his 2020 prophecy ten months ago.

"What is happening in the American election is as a result of the power in the tongue,” Joshua also stated in the prophecy, quoting where the Bible says in Proverbs 18:21 that the “tongue can either work for us or against us - death and life lie in the tongue”.

In confirmation, most analysts agreed Trumps divisive and often erratic rhetoric contributed significantly to his loss in the polls.

Intriguingly, almost all major ‘prophetic voices’ in America and around the world unanimously predicted Trump’s re-election.

“First of all, I want to say without question, Trump is going to win the election,” prophesied Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network on October 20th 2020.

Other prominent clerics who prophesied Trump’s victory are John Hagee, Paula White, Sid Roth, Chris Oyakhilome and Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj.

The video of Joshua’s prophecy regarding Biden’s historic electoral victory has been viewed over one million times on YouTube and Facebook since it was uploaded on 2nd November 2020.

It is now clear to us that it is not easy to concede as a sitting president. We see why Ex President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, needs to be applauded.

I like the youth-members' move.

The government's move through the CBN, explains why the government was asking for the protesters to provide their leader in the guise of dialoguing with them, but with the clandestine plan of victimizing them.

Well, I'm not sure that it's correct to say that Trump is hated because he speaks for Christians. But what do I know.

The RRS members that assisted the stranded lady deserve every accolade. I wish I'll be able to see them to specially appreciate them.

It is unconstitutional for the Nigerian Police to say that it will not allow any protest in Lagos. If the people cry out for good governance and they are not getting it, they are entitled to express their grievance through peaceful protest like that of EndSARS. The people I expect the police to warn, are mischievous persons that are implanted among peaceful protesters, hired thugs that are engaged to disrupt peaceful protest, and persons who in any guise engage in riot or looting. Warning against peaceful protest in my opinion, may be counter productive. Please, the police warning should be against wanton destruction of public and private property. The police should uphold the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The management of the hotel should be liable for the death caused by their faulty facility.

We are happy in Nigeria. but it will be difficult to pull this off in Nigeria with the indigene nonsense. A Yoruba man that has lived and done very well in the north will not even imagine contesting in the north. A south-south man in the west, would be told that he is from the south-south and should not imagine getting any appreciable votes in the west, and the story is same all over Nigeria. Yet, we are happy that Nigerians are winning elections in other countries.

Nigerians should prepare for re-colonization, courtesy of the current government's reckless appetite for borrowing. If the basis for borrowing will repay the loans. that would be another story. But knowing the decadent state of Nigeria, self-repayment is unlikely.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Keeping fingers crossed till when they are out to SERVE.

Congratulation on her success. Hopefully, this result will translate to a successful future and her future services will be solutions to global issues. She needs to be encouraged.

What played out in Lagos and other states were unfortunate but avoidable. Avoidable, if people understood the economic potentials of heritage sites that need to be guarded, e.g. the High Court of Lagos, the Court of Appeal (former Supreme Court), "NEPA" building, the Prisons (Correctional Centres) and the Oba's Palace. People will understand the value of heritage sites when they are not hungry and where they trust their leaders.
Well, I hope that we will all come out of this wreckage and be better. Better as a people, better as leaders, better politically, better economically and better socially (good neighbourliness).

My thought, but it may be a wrong analysis:
- The President is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces ["CnC"], so he controls the Nigerian Army.
- The Nigerian Army said Gov. Sanwo-Olu invited them. I believe that for such invitation to be made, the CnC must know, his permission must be sought and if the Nigerian Army accepted the Governor's invitation, the CnC must have permitted the Nigerian Army.
- The Nigerian Army then accepted the Governor's invitation to quell the "unrest" in Lagos [NB. I am not saying that there was unrest at Lekki Toll gate]
- Though the Nigerian Army had accepted Governor Sanwo-Olu's invitation, some men in army uniform invaded the Lekki Toll gate peaceful protest ground and opened fire.
- Where then was the invited Nigerian Army during the invasion by the uniform shooters?
-How come the invited Nigerian Army did not take down the "imposter uniformed shooters"?
- How come the imposter uniformed shooters had a field day and left unscathed from the invited Nigerian Army?
- Why was the CnC who had the power to permit the invitation of the Nigerian Army silent for a long time?
- If the shooting was done by unknown uniformed men, should the CnC not reprimand the Nigerian Army for not getting the imposters after he had permitted the Nigerian Army to go Lagos due to the curfew.

As I said, my thoughts may be poor, but I think, they may assist the government in resolving the lingering issues (1) Who shot at the Lekki Toll gate?; (2) Who ordered the shooting; and (3) Where are the shooters?

OP, you may have mixed up Patience Udoh's picture. Please confirm, as the one you posted is not the picture of the Patience Udoh on the panel.

We have drifted very very close to a state of anarchy. To avoid plunging into that state completely, the government has to do something very very fast. The inequality in the country, stemming from the We versus Them disparity (i.e. The People v. The Politicians), could be the root cause of the people's anger, which had been bottled up for a very long time. The government needs to speedily narrow the wide gap between the Politicians and the People.
