DADDY, THE PEOPLE I CHOSE TO GO FAR WITH, HAVE LEFT ME BEHIND. MC MORRIS TELLS PASTOR SAM ADEYEMI.
Nigerian comedian, MC Morris has called on his spiritual father, Pastor Sam Adeyemi owning to the advice the clergyman gave him years back. Recall that, days ago, the comedian called out a Nigerian singer, Simi, for turning her back against him. The comedian who stated that he was with Simi through her difficult moments and also claimed to be responsible for her’s fame and success said he is disappointed in Simi for not remembering him in her happy moments. The comedian took to his IG story to update the clergyman, Pastor Sam Adeyemi about the outcome of the advice he ‘Sam Adayemi’ gave him years ago. According to the comedian, the clergyman, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, told him times without number that if he wants to for fast, he should go alone but if he wants to go far, he should go with people. Morris claimed the clergyman recommended he goes far, of which the condition to go far is to go with people. After choosing to go far and with people, Morris said those he went far with have left him behind. MC Marris also told Pastor Sam Adeyemi to advise the younger generation to go fast and not go far as going far has a consequence. His text reads: “@pstSamadeyemi daddy you told me times without number that “if I want to go FAST, I should go alone but if I want to go FAR, I should go with people. (Which you recommended far for me) I just want to update you that the people I choose to go far with have left me behind. And if you can pls advice the younger generation to go fast without the option of far. Cause after you take them far, they will go far away from you.”
In his follow-up post, he said it is time he goes fast rather than go far.
A young girl identified as Mellan Njeri, a form two student at Kihumbu-ini Secondary School in Murang’a county, Kenya has taken to the streets to beg for help with school fees. To get the attention of would-be well-wishers, Njeri traversed Nairobi’s Central Business District carrying a placard with the words “please help me with school fees.”
The Standard reports that the teenager was sent home over arrears of KSh 29,177 (N109,175). Reports indicate that as of 1:45 pm, the student and her friend Mary Wanjiru had already covered Langata Road, Parliament Road, Processional Way, Kenyatta Avenue, and Moi Avenue in Kenya but were yet to raise even a paltry KSh 500 (N1,870.92).
[i]“We arrived at the city centre around 8 am. She is my friend and neighbour that is why I accompanied her since I know her and the family,” [/i]Njeri’s friend said.
The 15-year-old, who was dressed in her full school uniform, explained that she was sent out of the institution over the arrears on September 10 but her mother could not raise the money needed.
After initial denial, the Nigerian Air Force on Thursday admitted that one of its fighter jets on a mission against terrorists “unfortunately” bombed civilians in Yobe State on Wednesday.
NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Edward Gabkwet, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists today, adding that investigation had commenced into the incident.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that residents of Buhari community, in the Yunusari Local Government Area of Yobe on Wednesday claimed that a NAF fighter jet rained bullets from the skies and killed nine people in the area while several other villagers sustained injuries.
Air Force spokesman had on Wednesday denied reports linking one of its fighter jets to the bombing.
Gabkwet had explained that the mission last conducted by NAF in Yobe was earlier in the month.
“NAF last conducted a mission into Yobe State (not Yunusari LGA) on 5 September 2021 and it was an armed Recce. No bomb or missile was even expended,” he had said.
But in a statement on Thursday, the NAF spokesman said the “initial release denying the involvement of NAF aircraft was based on the first report available” at the time.
In the statement titled, ‘Investigation Commences On Alleged Aircraft Firing Of Civilian Settlements’, Gabkwet said the location of the incident was a notorious lair for terrorists and “well known for continuous Boko Haram /ISWAP activities”.
The statement read, “Following intelligence on Boko Haram/ISWAP movements along the Kamadougou Yobe River line, an aircraft from the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai was detailed to respond to the suspected terrorist activities in the area along the Nigeria/Niger border at about 0600hrs on 15 September 2021.
“The aircraft while operating South of Kanama observed suspicious movement consistent with Boko Haram terrorist behaviour whenever a jet aircraft is overhead. Accordingly, the pilot fired some probing shots. It is important to state that the area is well known for continuous Boko Haram /ISWAP activities.
“Unfortunately reports reaching Nigerian Air Force Headquarters alleged that some civilians were erroneously killed while others were injured.
“Initial release denying the involvement of NAF aircraft was based on the first report available to the Air Component which was subsequently forwarded to NAF headquarters that civilians were bombed as the aircraft detailed for the mission was not carrying bombs.
“Therefore, a Board of Inquiry has been set up to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the incident.”
Of recent, Nigerian Military jets on missions against terrorists and other criminals have been accused of bombing innocent Nigerians, including soldiers, due to alleged miscalculations.
In April 2021, over 20 soldiers on ground were allegedly slain in Mainok, Borno State, when a NAF fighter jet responding to attacks on a military camp by Boko Haram insurgents bombed the military camp based on a wrong coordinate.
Gabkwet had said that the incident was under investigation.
Also, despite pictorial evidence that a military chopper opened fire on boat passengers carrying foodstuffs while travelling from Port Harcourt to Bonny Island in Rivers State last month, injuring them in the process, the Defence Headquarters had said those shots were “illegal oil bunkerers”.

As a woman doing such, you get to find out that people encourage you to continue and never give up, while some who are kind hearted even bless you financially as a form of encouragement. When you hammer, people would be like, eh, she don go sleep with one Alhaji like that, na why she go buy venza, not knowing it was your hardwork and doggedness that paid off, or someone liked your work and gave you a mad ass contract running into millions.

Gsentme: Madam what the dude says ryme with the topic. I guess you are one of them. I have had similar experience. Emerging a lady who drives SUV asking me for money to fuel her car. Isn't that madness?
adedayoa2: gone where? Don't judge based on this meatpie na, we still chop correct meatpie today.
I judged based on the current state of the country. No jobs, price of goods high, bad roads, no security, education is poor. In fact everything in this country is upsidedown.
If I see who go take me out of this country I wouldn't mind.
Meet a pretty, classy, supposedly financially-comfortable chick and just one week into your relationship she's already making the most flimsy of financial demands.
If it's not to recharge her GOtv, it's to wait by the junction of your street to pay the Uber man or to transfer data to her so she can call you on WhatsApp as she's out of airtime.
I tell you, that in itself is more disappointing than finding bitter-leaf inside a meatpie.
How does your nonsense relate with the topic of discussion?
TMKsouth: A South African cop in shorts is serving the heat on social media, and it is all for good reason, too, as winter is over and spring (the warm season) takes off in the country.
While the men and women in blue have a pledge to serve and protect, this officer decidely went the extra mile as he offered up some eye candy for the SA fashion police, thanks to the tight-fitting shorts he is seen wearing.
The police officer is shown in full police uniform, complete with a service weapon conspicuously strapped to his right thigh.
It is very rare for police officers to wear shorts in South Africa.
