CultureRe: Ogun: The Only Yoruba Word, With 10 Meanings by Geeoriginal: 4:23pm On Apr 27, 2019
TGM2015:
So we have 6 meanings according to your post, though there might be more meaning but not the cancelled ones.
Are you sure of the origin of the name of the state? Ogun (do do) also interprets as END, (nobody has mentioned that as another word that spells same). I believe Ogun state originated from the word End. It is the end state before you exit Nigeria from the SW part.

somalianprince:
Why are you guys scared? Shebi the election was free and fair? INEC must submit everything, I am very sure they didn't see this request coming cheesy
Which part of my post shows that I am scared? For your information, I do not belong to either side and they don't determine my lifestyle or income. I just reacted based on my opinion on the post.
Note also that, there were rigging on both sides and most Nigeria elections has been that way. In fact, 2019 election was fair compared to previous one. Where are the remaining millions that Buhari had in Kano during 2015 or why is PDP votes drop so much in Rivers compare with 2015? The rigging has always be, we are only deceiving ourselves claiming that it is a new one.

I do not know if the Tribunal will grant this, it just sounded funny. If you are sure of irregularities, sue first then ask for the items to support your case. You can't be asking for items first before you will know if to sue or not.

PoliticsRe: Extreme Poverty Looms As Nigerians Lose 20.9m Jobs In Three APC Years by Geeoriginal: 7:15pm On Dec 19, 2018
Where were these 20millions working before 2015? We don't even have records of anything. I wonder how the Bureau of Statistics are getting their data. We need a break down of the companies that closed doors and dropped these 20million people into the labour market. Otherwise, my instincts is saying these figures are conjured.
I know a lot of rail projects are ongoing, is it not people that are working there? There are other jobs in Agricultural sector and despite all these, 20 million that used to have jobs before 2015 doesn't have jobs anymore? Abeg, make somebody closed down this bureau before they will tell us 50million are jobless in Lagos alone.

PoliticsRe: Court Grants SERAP Leave To Compel Fashola Over N900b Spent On Power Privatisatn by Geeoriginal: 2:57pm On Oct 23, 2018
Why is it that lots of us lack basic comprehension? This is not about this administration but what the past administrations spent. The present government did not do the privatization, it was done before now. Fashola is being mentioned because he is the present minister. The account has to do with past spending.
PoliticsRe: Certificate Forgery: Why We Prosecute Adeleke, Spare Adeosun – Police by Geeoriginal: 5:16pm On Oct 20, 2018
The two cases should have been prosecuted and the excuse of the police about Adeosun is laughable.
Notwithstanding, the cases are not the same. Adeosun needed an exception certificate and she was told they can help her get one from NYSC. She didn't realize that what she was carrying was a fake certificate until the alarm.
In the case of Adeleke, he paid someone to write WAEC for him with his passport photograph, using a fake date of birth. He conspired with the school administration to allow this. Impersonation, conspiracy, fraud has taken place here. He is very much aware of what he was doing.
Christianity EtcRe: Reno Omokri Reacts To Foluke Adeboye's Marriage Advice by Geeoriginal: 10:19pm On Oct 07, 2018
Proverbs 15:22 says " Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established". Mrs. Adeboye said, "go to your Pastor first before your parents". Is there wisdom in this? I will say very well. The woman did not say the consent of your pastor superseded that of your parents, she only gave you a working and tested sequence. In fact, you do not go to your pastor to seek consent, you go there to seek counsel. God has appointed these men over you when you talk to them you make their work easier. check Hebrew 13:17.
People think now that Pastors are inconsequential, but when their marriages began to have problems, they will now run to these same Pastors to help them settle. It is important to seek prayers of fellow Christians and leaders when taking this EXTREMELY important part of your life. It is a decision that can make or mar you, without overbeating the issue, it is a decision that can send you to hellfire. Proverb 21:9 says "It is better to live on a corner of a roof than sharing a house with a quarrelsome wife.
There is news nowadays of women killing their husbands and that of men that hack their wives to death. Do we think that these couples did not have the consent of their parents? There is a place of Parents and there is a place for the spiritual leaders. These set of two people are not having a competing roll in our lives, rather complementary, different and unique rolls.
You tell your pastor first in order for him to advise you about your decision and reach out to your partner's pastor to know more about him or her while praying alongside you. By the time you get to your parent, the matter has been settled spiritually and you can with all confidence move into a future that you know that God has a part in.
Do not be too harsh in your criticism, so that you will not be doing that in an error. Listen to the entire message and understand the context of a statement then you can constructively criticize as necessary.
CrimeRe: Perekeme Richard Kpodo Sent To Prison For Rape Arrives Court On A Stretcher by Geeoriginal: 5:13pm On Aug 04, 2018
Why did the author mentioned his political party? To start with, how is he a chieftain? Is it because he was once a security adviser? That position is for every Dick and Harry in Balyesa.
Now, if he was an adviser before, then he must have been in PDP because Bayelsa has never had an APC government. Probably, he just moved to APC.
Having said that, his deed was his personal choice and have nothing to do with his party.
Christianity EtcRe: Daddy Freeze Replies Leke Adeboye On Farming And Trade By Barter by Geeoriginal: 7:54pm On Jun 20, 2018
God will need to help this generation with their anti-church campaign that is going on. I am wondering what is wrong with telling people to go into farming to combat famine. Are we expecting the Pastor to ask people to come to church in order to eliminate famine? He said exchange what you get for what you need. In other words, if you need transport money, sell those products from your farm and get money. if you need furniture, get money by selling the corn from your farm and buy the furniture. Well, that understanding is not rocket science for anyone to interpret to mean 'advocating for trade by barter'.
About church giving to the needy and the poor, yes it is good but we need to follow the scripture here. Bible encourages that if you are still able to work, you should be encouraged to do so instead of being a burden to the church. ITim5: 3-22 stated who should be qualified to receive regular help from the church using the example of widows. In fact, verse 9 says that if you are not 60years old, you should not be on the church regular help list. The only interpretation of these verses is that you are expected to work not be a burden to the church. Yes, you could get help from the church once in a while, but do not transfer your burden to the church rather, go and work.
The later verses advocated that Gospel workers should be paid handsomely. They are not expected to be paupers because they are preachers.
To people that think that it was only foods that people gave to the church then, I laugh at you. Where was the temple getting money spent on the temple from? Read 2KG12:6-16. it talks about money for building offering and people given. Verse 16 precisely talked about the other offerings which are the real offerings were meant for the priests, they do not use it for other temple needs.
To the Christians on this forum, please be careful what you support, you might not be held innocent on these things on the day of reckoning.
PoliticsRe: MKO Abiola: Nigerian Lawyers React, Threaten To Challenge Decision In Court by Geeoriginal: 8:11pm On Jun 07, 2018
What is in the constitution? Check the Article 3 of the act as highlighted, it gave the President the prerogative to determine who and how the person should be given the award. It does not have to be in person and this is not the first time the posthumous award will be given in Nigeria. Whosoever like, let them go to court and waste their time.

If he offered them education, will they choke to their death. What the hell is wrong with us. What the hell is wrong with the black man. Am really in tears. cry cry cry
If he offered them education who will be used as political thugs and killers that will be killing people of other tribes and religion? You should understand that is one of the primary purpose of Almajiris system. Because, they don't have skills, they are readily available for thuggery in time of need. That is why the system can't be eradicated in the North. Most of the children in the system lack parental love and therefore lack human feeling. A lot of them don't even know where the parents are, they left home at as little as age two to a far distant State under a malam, they live in a crowded hall , sleeping on the street and eating at the mercy of people that will give them coins. They don't get visit from their parents or relative. They are hardened and ready to do the biding of anyone that will give them food and follow instructions from the imam of any mosque without thinking twice. What can they do for the society? Only the unskilled jobs like shoe shining, security, meruwa etc. The governor understand these, the reason for giving out the kit. If he sent them to vocational training, they will no more be useful to him as thugs.
PoliticsRe: Dino Melaye On A Stretcher In The Court Room With Ben Murray-Bruce (Photos) by Geeoriginal: 9:34pm On May 02, 2018
Why are people commenting as if they do not understand the case? Dino was taking to Abuja court for damaging police vehicle, to which the court granted him bail, but he was not granted bail on the Kogi state case which was the reason for his initial arrest. This is a basic thing we should understand.
By the way, was Dino not seeing in a video sitting on the floor after jumping from the police vehicle? Is it that he later went into a coma after sitting for sometimes saying that he will kill himself?

PoliticsRe: "I Prefer GMB To PMB"- Zahra Buhari Prefers Her Dad As Army General To President by Geeoriginal: 4:58pm On Apr 09, 2018
I look at the tweet and I see that the poster of this news is a liar. Why will the op put what Zahra did not say by herself in quotation marks? Could she be implying that she prefers GMB to any other person as president? She might not see any difference between the two acronyms GMB and PMB.She could be using them interchangeably. Next time, quotation marks means word for word of the person you are quoting and not your understanding or interpretation of what the person says.

PoliticsRe: APC Restructuring Committee Approves Resource Control, State Police, Others by Geeoriginal: 4:04pm On Jan 26, 2018
This is one of the profound report that can help the country. Unfortunately, a lot of people will stand against it both in the North and the South. In the North, because they have advantage of the number of local government created improperly by the Military to favour the North. So, eradicating local government from the constitution will automatically stop federal allocation from going to them based on the number of local government.
For the South, the major problem will be with the South South. They will want the state government to control the offshore oil and gas. Whereas, no country in the world where such practice exist.
Establishment of state police will be a good thing, but for few years, the federal government should control the state police until such a time when the police will not be under the control of the governor of each state. In other words, the governor should not be able to use the state police against his political enemies.
I wholeheartedly support this report and I am advocating that Nigerian should give it a try for the greatness of the country. If we have a fear, a clause can be put in the amended constitution that 20years will be use to try it, if it is heading for failure, we could go back to the current constitution with a little amendment.
