Wotowotoman:There are no bandits on that stretch of the road. Bandit gangs are mostly based in the core North, mostly Hausa states. They are not in Bornu or Yobe. That is the turf of the terrorists, Boko Haram and ISWAP. The bandits I think have just entered the Yoruba part of Kwara state. |
Reckless driving and accidents can not be divorced. Who remember this Public Service Announcement songs that goes like this. I need someone to finish it: "The highway is not a race track. Remember those people ........" It was a very popular radio jingle back in the day advising people to drive carefully |
I was quite certain it was excessive speeding. A runaway tyre will not necessarily lead to an accident if you're on moderate speed. It turns out that the story about a runaway loose tyre being the cause of the accident was not true. Joshua should have known better. He's from the UK. Some peeps will say Jake Paul send village people to am. |
They must have been driving at high speed. It isn't compulsory to have an accident simply becuase your tyre rolls. No one knows tomorrow. Who would have predicted he'd be dead close to a new year? (Read Eccl 9:11-12) |
Young brainwashed boys if this is real. I believe if they had economic opportunities, they wouldn't join these idiots. Anyway, are these guys real or AI generated? They may even be alive or a borrowed picture from an incident that happened a decade ago. Anything for virality. |
why will a governor be upset he wasn't made a minister? It all sounds whack! |
He can never win. Core Northerners won't vote for an Igbo candidate. That's the elephant in the room. |
It is one thing to support your kinsmen, it is another thing to be unrealistic or delusional. |
panafrican:What do you mean by lies? The only recorded case of a Christian targetted was a lady, and that was because she blasphemed agaibst their religion. Go and do a Google search: has there been any genocide of Christians in Sokoto state? You call yourself "panafrican" but can not differentiate things in Nigeria? |
What worries me is they may get compromised at some point.. Banditry is big money and I won't be surprised when they start offering the bandits bribes, or start supplying them weapons. |
Goodmarlian:You're a comedian. By the time they make your bank account dormant, your eye go clear. I suspect that the government has refused to bring out higher denomination notes to ensure people pay. It would be difficult doing a 100m transaction in notes. |
HacheNoire:I consider the bolded an insult. As I have repeatedly said,"I DON'T BELIEVE THE JEWS ARE GOD'S PEOPLE TODAY!" "I DON'T BELIEVE THE JEWS ARE GOD'S PEOPLE TODAY!" "I DON'T BELIEVE THE JEWS ARE GOD'S PEOPLE TODAY!" "I DON'T BELIEVE THE JEWS ARE GOD'S PEOPLE TODAY!" "I DON'T BELIEVE THE JEWS ARE GOD'S PEOPLE TODAY!" Those Christians going on pilgrimage to Isreal are just wasting their time and money John 4:20 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”21 Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. By stating that, it means I am unbiased. What ever I am saying isn't for personal gain. I have repeatedly told you that being Jewish is defined by religion, that you abide by Judaism. Culture is also there. Being Jewish is not defined by blood. Despite this, you kept arguing they were Caucasians. If they were Caucasians that chose to live by Judaism, then they are Jews. You don't have to like it but that is what the Bible says. The Jews were expelled from Israel in the second century. They became stateless and started moving from country to country. Even before their expulsion, you had Jewish communities living in Europe and Asia. Apostle Paul met many Greek speaking Jews on his travels. DNA does not lie, unless you don't like the results because they don't fit your narrative. The only reason why I used DNA is because of your stubborn refusal to accept that people are Jewish primarily by religion and culture, and not blood. The problem here is simple: you have an intense hatred of the Jews, an extreme hatred of them. Even if the Jews were 1,000% Jewish, you would still not support their going back to Isreal. Saying that they were Jewish would mean that you have to support their going to Israel. As I told you earlier, I don't care. I don't believe they are God's own people today. I don't credit their seeming invincibility to God. |
GravityDefier:I doubt it would indicate that she would be mean to his younger ones. Nevertheless, the English have a saying: love me, love my dog. If he loves pets and she does not, it may bring about some discordance when married.Is he the type that his pets stays indoors? Does he give them extra care? He might want his kids to also enjoy pets. If she does not love pets, or likes them but they must know their place, the way a houseboy knows his place in the house like to never sit in the sitting or dining table, he needs to rethink. It is just a stupid mutt. I can't keep my dog caged all day. It must be either the pets go, or she goes. If he deeply loves her and can't do without her, the pets may need to go. However, if his love for pets are very strong, she may have to go. |
zicol2015:I am. |
ComeComing:I don;t know much about that. |
gidgiddy:The entire world is getting worse. It isn't only a Nigeriuan thing, What positive difference would Kanu have made to the Nigerian problem? Nothing. Absolutely nothing aside sit-at-home Monday's. Only God can solve mankind's problems,. |
They look like Chinese characters. |
HacheNoire:The Caucasians of Europe refused to see them as Caucasians. Hitler killed 6m of them. You have very little knowledge about the persecution the Jews faced in Europe. It was terrible. They were never accepted as Caucasians. If they had been, the desire for Isreal wouldn't have been strong. I keep erepeating Hitler killed 6m of them from 1939-1945. That was about two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe. I also did a search on Google. I search "what percentage Caucasian blood do European Jews have?" and I got this response with AI mode: European Jews, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, have a mixed ancestry, typically estimated to be around 50% Middle Eastern (Levantine) and 50% European, with most European ancestry being Southern European from Roman times, not Slavic or Germanic, though later contributions from Central/Eastern Europe exist, alongside some Caucasus links. Studies suggest roughly 60-80% European ancestry in some analyses, highlighting significant admixture from local populations, especially Southern Europeans, but a strong Middle Eastern core from ancient Israel. The Jews were giving many land options but they stood on Israel due to the Bible. Uganda isn't in the Bible. |
Soem people must have cashed out. There'll be lots of money to be made from the reconstruction taking place. |
That October 7 genocide no make sense. The Israeli response was excessive. I can undertsnd they were angry but it doesn;t make it right. |
HacheNoire:Many thanks for your response. I will be frank with you- I do not believe the Jews are God's people today. What ever military successes they enjoy isn't from God. So, whatever I say is without bias but based on facts. You can't divorce Judaism and Israel just as you can't divorce Mecca and Medina. When the Jews were taken as exiles to Babylon, they said, "How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land." (Read Psalms 137:4). Jeru;salem was the centre of that worship. That is why the Jews beleive they have a God given right to return to the land God gave them. Again, I repeat, I don't believe that the Jews are God's people today. I am just telling you what they believe. Again, most Jews, even though watered down, share some DNA. I keep saying that being a Jew is based on religion and culture and not blood. Yes, Iran had a massive Jewish population, dating to the time of Nebuchadnezzar! Daniel was a Jew. The Jews from the Arab world are called Sephardic Jews. Those from Europe are Askenazi's. They have identified as Jews for centuries despite the huge cost. Yes, October 7 was wrong, and the Israeli response as well. However, you can understand that the Isrealis soldiers were angry with the unnecesary genocide that took place. Hamas, instead of building Gaza was always waging war. When they seize full control of Gaza in 2006 or so, they said they resolved to the total annihilation of the nation of Israel. Isreal immediately sealed the border with Gaza. |
Akinpedia This Ponzi thing don tire me. I am from a very conservative Christian group and we have been counselled severally to steer clear of them. There was a particular one in the earlier 2000s. Announcements were made that brothers and sisters engaged in it must stop. Some still continued and it led to sanctions. People with privileges were stripped of them. There were no sacred cows. Despite these, some never learn A newly widowed sister sought help from the congregation due to the financial pressure. The congregation raised a large sum of money which was given toi her. She invested this money into a Ponzi scheme and lost it all. Despite this, another sister, got a loan of around 1m from a microfinance bank. She was to be making payments of 50k to them weekly until the loan and interest was to be paid of. She stocked her shop and things were going great. A friend approached her, telling her of a pyramid scheme that she invested money into it and got her first payout. My Christian sister now invested 250k into it and promptly lost everything. I was fuming. This is a woman I personally lent 500k due to the fact that she is the sole breadwinner as the husband has no income. She learnt absolutely nothing from the other sister who lost everything. The 250k has taken a huge toll on her. What is sad is that I see her repeating the same mistake again. She keeps saying "they were paying." I told her that "they were paying" to hoodwink people, that is how Ponzi schemes work. They need to deceive the first set of investors so as to lure in others. Despite that, she keeps saying "they were paying." It was even her that received that payment but the one who invited her into the scheme. Yes, some never learn. |
I very much doubt this is true. However, we need to see pictures to be convinced. |
Elusive001:I dey chop very very well. I thank God for that. |
HacheNoire:I was actually forced to research "Jewishness" due to the repeated questioning about the ethnic and racial identity of the Jews. There might be strong points that the "returnees" are not true blooded Jews. Unfortunately for you, your Jewish identity is based not on race but on religion and culture. Saying that to be identified as a Jew, you muust be a blood descendant of Abraham is not true. Anyone who chose to serve God through Judaism authomatically became a Jew. The Bible has several of them. The mixed crowd who followed the Jews out of Egypt authomatically became. Jew. The harlot Rahab became a Jew. The Moabite Ruth became a Jew. The Syrian commander who Elijah healed became a Jew. The Ethiopian eunuch who Phillip went to meet was a Jew. They weren't Jewish by blood but by religion. Gentiles who became Jews were called proselytes. When the Jews were expelled from Israel by the second century, they dispeersed all over the world. There would have been mixing with various other races and groups. Also, in many of the lands in Asia that they went, there were always established Jewish communities, many with lots of proselytes. Arabian Jews look so much different from European Jews. Of course, Ethiopian Jews look different as well. From the second century CE since they were expelled from Israel, they have retained their Jewsih identity. There were many who left and became Christians or Muslims or other religions and never returned. Many never wavered about being Jews, despite the vicious persecution and the numerous pogroms they constantly faced. They were banned from owning land in Europe. This was at a time when the worlkd was largely agrarian. They were also banned from many trades. They also suffered humiliation in many Muslim and Arab lands. In some countries, they were forced to pay a tax which Muslims did not have to pay. They knew they were second class. 6million perished in the Holocaust in Europe all because they were Jews. Thedy weren't considered Caucasian After all that, you now say they aren't Jewish but Europeans! You're wasting your time. It would be better to preach to the Berbers in North Africa who claim to be Arabs. Or the black people of Sudan who call themselves Arabs. Are they Arabs because of blood or due to Arabization? |
Tranquillity360:Those who were killed for opening for business on Monday, was it carried out by IPOB who another group? Who enforced the sit-at-home Monday's? |
Streetinvestor2:I don't vote. I never even saw it as a victory over SE. You're the one reading meaning into it. |
IduNaOba:Did I say I wanted trouble? You can read my writeup again. |
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, a secession movement was a roublerouser who demanded that the entire Southeast, included the Southsouth as a sweetener, should leave the Nigerian federation using violent means. He was preaching hate against the Northerners and to a lesser degree, people from other parts of the country. Fast forward, his sentencing on November 20, 2025 to life imprisonment, which was to be served in Sokoto state was a watershed. I am certain many expected the Southeast to explode, considering the impact he had on the region. There has barely been a whisper. The Southeasterners have moved on with their lives. At the end of the day, he was just a noisemaker, all smoke and mirrors. He was even weeping when the sentenced was pronounced. A whole freedom fighter! This was a man who tirades had already led to the many deaths due to his incitements. There are many more like him. They are relevant due to the noise they make. Once it is shut, their relevance disappears. There is nothing like peace. Peaceful Igbo land, a land of industrious people, would have been turned to a theatre of war. The wicked sit-at-home Monday only hurts those they claim to love. Unaliving those who open shop leaves a very sour taste, and was a shadow of what was to come should they ever taste power. A man who did not experience the Biafran war is instigating another, something those who experienced it, would never wish to see again. Never put your trust in nobles to whom no salvation belongs........ ( Read Psalms 146:3-4) |
He is simply fighting for his people. He is no different from Asari Dokubo or Tompolo fighting for their people. He is seeking justice. To him, nomadic herding of cattle is the lifeblood of his people. Nomadic herding of cattle is no longer practical in Nigeria and should be banned. That is my 100% view and they don't seem to realize it is no longer practical and that's why there always skirmishes with farmers. However, there should be a holistic plan to assist the herdsmen asapt. If there's a need, train many in new skills or trade. Provide them sapital to stand on their own. Seek a win/win solution. |
coputa:There are no terrorists in Zamfara, only bandits. |
Adebisi444:It's a Tomahawk. |
