wonderful, so all Nigerian tribes can come together like this.

Nigerian citizens are greater than the USELESS Fedral Government

They are greater than USELESS police force who ignore our fallen heroes

They are greater than USELESS zenith Bank

God bless Nigerians

Real Nigerians are greater than the mofos here shouting Ipod, brown roof, Igbo, cone shape, zombie, wailer, etc etc.

The real US is far beyond what NL tends to portray us as. On saturday when SA beat us silly, we sulked together but in moments of madness kids and urchins will be there mouthing all sorts of invectives just to bring others down. No one is really superior, we are all different. My weak point could be your strongest and vice versa. Rather than learn to understand and tolerate each other, people be here creating animosity that is not taking anyone anywhere. At close of work today I will still hang out with my buds, mostly yorubas with just one edo guy and me Igbo. Anyway, those are just my views, there may not be right or correct, but there are mine and I hold onto them.

Hey watch it you broke motherfukker.

I'm not anyone's paid agent.

If you can't afford electricity then stick to candles, you Neanderthal.

You didn't have to resort to some misplaced indignation you ignorant titch.

I do know what I'm talking about cos i worked in the industry, you bird-brained halfwit.

Now...go rub some twigs. Mr Fred Flintstone.

Guy why are you vexing, that guy made a good case with strong logic. Answer him or admit defeat and STFU

Make una hold this guy before him enter market oo

So funny. Thanks for sending him away but the image is stored to be retrieved later.

I did not think this topic deserved an input when I saw it yesterday night, but waking up this morning and still having it up there i realized it's topical enough to deserve some mention. Let me say I know a happily married woman that buys all manner of cooked soup from a supermarket and they'd been no issue although the husband never suspected anything. For me that food is not my strongest point, I don't care whether you can cook or not, i need more of a good manager of the home and strong personal assistant. I can buy any exotic food i want outside but home and financial management are more critical and mostly great sèx. All i need is a diva in the day and a bi.tch at night. That simple. It therefore boils down to the individual.

What do the police do with all the guns and ammunitions recovered from criminals? Do they use it later ?

They resell them.

This dude has collected $1 million dollars four times

Four million dollars*370 naira=1.48 billion naira, in this recession

Did he collect all in this recession? How did you know the exchange rate at the point of collection? Not that it matters though, but stop acting smart.

I can't belief bob said this,this is a guy that av made his mark in d movie industry and benefitted immensely from lagos's platform as a land of opportunities. Am so angry with him now.

Like he recognizes a ranting ant such as you. Your anger is like that of a puppy being displayed for sale. Your owner will sell you plus your anger to the next buyer. Chinch.

DYING FOR THIS COUNTRY IS LIKE DYING FOR A DOG.

Wrong. A dog will even lick and use the cold nose to nudge the owner. Nigeria will pretend nothing happened.

Certain stakeholders in the tourism industry on Sunday encouraged the Federal and Lagos State Governments to dissuade Pastor Temitope Joshua, generally known as, TB Joshua, from moving the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) to Israel from Nigeria.

They informed the News Agency of Nigeria that Nigeria will lose billions of naira to religious tourism if Temitope Joshua and SCOAN should make the plan true.

NAN reports that TB Joshua, during one of his church services, lately declared that he was about to move to Israel from Ikotun, a suburb of Lagos.

It was disclosed that TB Joshua was in Israel lately where he held meetings with the mayors of Jerusalem, Tiberia and the Jordan Valley.

He was cited as saying that he was offered different facilities very close to the biblical site of the Sea of Galilee where he could organise meetings for international pilgrims.

NAN also reports that SCOAN established in 1994 does not have another branch in Nigeria outside its international headquarters located in Ikotun.

Some heads of government from African countries had also visited SCOAN to seek spiritual restoration and advice from Pastor TB Joshua

Mrs Ime Udo, the General Secretary of the Nigerian Association of Tour Operators (NANTA) told NAN that Nigeria would lose billions of naira from religious tourism revenue if SCOAN actualised its planned relocation to Israel.

Udo said Joshua’s planned action would lead to a reduction in the human traffic of local and foreign religious tourists that normally patronised SCOAN.

Udo said, “Religious obligations have become a fashionable trend all over the world as a means of expressing beliefs and faith in the ability of God to protect and guide mankind.

“Religious practices both under the auspices of Christianity, Islam and traditional practices have in no small way contributed to the development of tourism in the world.

“Christian pilgrimages to Israel have formed an economic platform for the empowerment of the localities and contributed to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country.

“Also, Saudi Arabia has been benefiting immensely economically from many Islamic faithful who converge there twice annually on holy pilgrimage.

“With these scenarios and many others around the world, it has become valid that religious tourism has become a source of economic revival to a country and its people, “she said.

According to her, thousands of foreign religious tourists visit SCOAN monthly to worship and for other spiritual healings.

She said that these tourists would fly into Nigeria; lodge in hotels, board commercial vehicles, patronise eateries and visit other tourists’ sites around the locality.

Udo said that all these had been translating into huge revenue for the Nigeria economy.

“The local community; hotel operators, food vendors and others around SCOAN must have benefitted from tourists.

“SCOAN has, no doubt, contributed immensely to the tourism profile of Nigeria with several heads of government from various African countries that had visited there to seek spiritual restoration and advise from Pastor TB Joshua, ” she said.

Udo advised the Federal and Lagos State Governments to encourage SCOAN to remain in Nigeria as part ways to develop our tourism sector.

A member of SCOAN, Mrs Iyabo Emmanuel, said that she was in church service when their General Overseer, Pastor TB Joshua, announced to the members on the offer given to him by the Israeli Mayors.

Mrs Emmanuel, popularly called “Iya’’(Mother) Synagogue, said that Pastor Joshua never said that he had agreed to such a proposal from the mayors.

“I have been worshipping in SCOAN since 1994 when TB Joshua established it newly in Ikotun area.

“I worked with TB Joshua for 15years before I resigned and ventured into selling of provisions. Then, I was the chef; head of canteen and bakery.

“I am still a full-time member of the church and I will continue to worship there. I am one of those that had benefitted from the church,” she said.

Emmanuel said that many residents and business owners would suffer if TB Joshua should relocate SCOAN from Ikotun.

She said that majority of business owners around the area depended solely on the visitors to the church and they used to patronise facilities around the church.

A hotel operator, Mrs Anthonia Chuks, told NAN that if the rumour that TB Joshua was relocating to Israel eventually turned to reality, the hospitality business in that area and the state would suffer and fold up.

“Ninety–five per cent of guests that lodge in hotels in the community are international and local visitors outside Lagos and they are SCOAN members.

“We have over 130 rooms and are always fully booked every weekend.

“ We usually enjoy huge patronage from Fridays to Sundays weekly; and they are mostly SCOAN members from near and far,” she said.

Similarly, Mr Solomon Oyelade, a car-hire operator, said that since the rumour of the planned relocation of the church to Israel, the patronage of cabs had reduced drastically.

Oyelade said that in the past, he used to go to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos seven times in a day to transport international passengers down to SCOAN.

“But, since the incident of collapsed building in the church premises years back, the patronage of foreigners had reduced.

“ With this present rumour of relocation, we hardly carry passengers from Airport two times a day. The patronage has reduced beyond expectations, “he said.

Also, Mr Uche Maduako, a food vendor, appealed to TB Joshua not to accept such offer from the Israeli mayors.

He said that behind every rumour there is an iota of truth.

He also urged the Federal and the Lagos State Governments to support the continuing stay of TB Joshua in the country.

“The government should make the country worth staying for him and ensure they support him in all ramifications,” he said.

Maduako urged the government to renovate the bad roads around the church, adding that the condition of the roads was not encouraging.

He said that the contributions and impacts of TB Joshua in that community could not be overemphasis.

“The man of God has contributed immensely to the betterment of the community; employed thousands of graduates and non-graduates to work in the church and in other investments of the church.

“TB Joshua always ensures that there is constant power supply and adequate security in the area, ” he said.

How can we facilitate his early relocation so that the traffic gridlock he causes in that axis will disappear plus we won't have structures crumbling and killing hundreds when an aeroplane hovers in the church neighbourhood. Scammers of the highest order.

Sorry OP do you mean Naira or is that really $

I noticed apart from the foreigners he only kidnapped Igbos. Why?

HE developed a niche market and was playing deep in his chosen market, that is professionalism

Visualise what you can't see

Intrepid01:
Now this is a submission devoid of emotions but perception. I respect your opinion by I do not agree with you. the truth is I used to think like this some years back.
the fact that we have many scammers masqurading as "men of God" does not mean we do not have genuine man of God....naaa...had will be unfair....

and you see those men I mentioned above, you can fact check them, they've bn around since the days when there wasn't money in the ministry. They stood the gear of time cos they're real and have the calling....

unlike the new crop of men of God whose calling came with GPRS....na so so lekki, ikoyi axis you go see them, never at ajegunle.

It's all about perception, to each, his own. Whatever we sow we will reap in abundance, let God be the judge.

Intrepid01:
the way some igbo peeps go dey beef dem Baba Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo and Dr. Olukoya; .... dey'll go to any length to pretend as genuine pastors to attain prosperity...to dem everything na business

I have never been fanatical about religion and definitely none of these men of God made sense to me with their prosperity teachings but believe me even for the ones you mentioned above , its all about business and nothing more. It's not a tribal matter. They are all scams including the TREM igbo man. Until they catch them red handed, we won't know the charms and amulets they are wearing and where their shrines are raised. There are tonnes of criminals in the streets, only the one caught is declared a criminal.

Let God be the judge.

FlyoruB:
Yorubas have been observing June 12 for sometime now without controversy so I don't get why all of a sudden some Biafrats are having sleepless nights

No issues. Traffic will be free that day, dats all. Perfectly ok by me. can you guys make it 2 days or better still the whole week?

ibadanfinest:
Pls leave yoruba out of this whole saga. Igbo want out. let them go. its as simple as that.

I don't engage with irrational posters. I just referenced ango Abdullahs contention clustering east and west together. I can understand your difficulty in comprehending because your mind is conditioned to only think in a linear fashion.

dapyd1:
Scotland is a country. Before they had a referendum on secession from the UK, they had a working constitution, state facilities were working well. The modalities on power were worked out. Everyone knew their place.

Those calling for Biafra, taking into cognisance the news we heard this morning about a whole ibo village rejecting an ibo priest because he is not from their village, what happens when Biafra happens?

Who leads you? Is there a power sharing formular? Do you have a constitution you will abide to? Have the modalities been worked out? Which state will first have power? What happens to resources sharing?

For those in the south saying Federal Government failed you, you distort facts.

Federal government gave you NDDC, gave you 13% derivation, oil companies do a lot of CSR in your communities, invest in scholarship for you, employ your children, and gave you amnesty when you arose.


Federal government did not fail you. Your governors did. The same governors that hail from your towns.

Alameisegha took your money and squandered it. Ìbòrí did same. The list goes on. You rever and worship this people, but fight the central government. Your priorities are wrong.

Before you quote me, please read again, I talked with common sense. Please do same.

I am not an ethnic bigot, neither am I intra racist, I just believe Biafra will do more harm than good. I stand to be corrected.

You guys may eventually bite more than you can chew. It happened before, be careful to not let it happen again.

Work out the modalities, before you scream biafra.

Even if I don't like the post, i can't exactly fault it. But if any of those steps are taken preparatory to the final onslaught, they will attack us. Let's be allowed to take those primary steps and see us launch out

Yorubas just so you know that when the chips are down you will join the hunted, keep assuming it's only igbo neck on the chopping block

I love how the guy clarified the position, it's neither an engagement nor marriage. I think it's a pay off for her time wasted. Know what you want and go for it.

Why make exams almost impassable when it is not the true test of knowledge.

Meanwhile there no other known way of testing knowledge.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
This Kaduna declaration saga has confirmed the already known fact that the ibos agitation for biafra is not well intentioned. The call for biafra is just the default mode that the ibos enter into whenever they loose out of the politics at the centre.

I had expected the ibos, in furtherance to their biafra ambition, would have started leaving the North following the ultimatum served by the Arewa Youths. But it seems the ibos would rather die in the North than go back to iboland

The ibos want to break away from Nigeria but at the same time want to remain in other part of Nigeria

The ibos want an independent iboland but they are afraid of going back to iboland

some of them even have this deluded assumption that in the event that they get their biafra country, they will still retain their citizenship as Nigerians and still stay in other part of Nigeria.



Jokers !!

Why is it paining you like this, is it your break up, leave them alone whether they choose to leave or die in the North. Until Biafra is achieved, every citizen has an inalienable right to coexist and stay wherever they choose.

Why you dey carry this matter for head like gala and lacasera

PStacks:


THESE PEOPLE MEAN BUSINESS OOO.


AREWA YOUTHS ARE NOT SMILING.


Biafra youths tot they had monopoly to violence now Arewa youths are blowing hot, Ipob yot are shivering.


when gbege set.

when jungle mature,

we would know the true owners of Nigeria


like #GhanaMustGo, #BiafraMustGo.

Igbos already know that Hausas own Nigeria, which is why they want to go to where they can exercise ownership rights and be treated like full humans

Maybelconor:
Very educative, we tend to use a lot of phrases incorrectly. More examples,

Extreme end.
Each one worse than the next
Irregardless

Extreme end is tautology.

Who uses the rest?

vargasvictory:
1. Behind the sheets


It's common you hear people talk about what happens in their bed thereby making use of 'Behind the sheets'. Actually the correct line is "BETWEEN THE SHEETS"


2. I could care less

You're in a situation, probably angered by someone, in a bid to get back at him/her, you say 'I could care less', this is wrong because the sentence actually means you're concerned about the situation. The correct phase is "I COULDN'T CARE LESS"


3. First-come, First serve

This one is very popular among the Nigerians, because it talks about feeding the monsters in our belly, and it's a common notion that if you're on time you would be attended to early enough. the right sentence is "FIRST-COME, FIRST SERVED"


4. Cousin brother/sister

You hear people say, 'He's my cousin brother'. The word cousin is a noun and not an adjective, making it irrelevant to describe the gender of the cousin. "SHE'S MY COUSIN" is just about right.


5. Marriage v Wedding

A lot of us substitute Marriage for Wedding and vice versa, whilst this is wrong.
"WEDDING" is the ceremony where you get married and "MARRIAGE" is the state of being married



6. Wreck havoc

You see headlines with 'All he did was wreck havoc'. Now that's clearly wrong. The correct phrase should be "ALL HE DID WAS WREAK HAVOC"


7. Breath/Breath

A BREATH is the air we inhale or exhale while BREATHE is the act of inhaling or exhaling


Dropping my pen at this stage

No 4 is not clear to me, i am good on the rest. Thanks though, insightful post.

hardwerk:
can you squarely face the topic at hand without being stupid ?

But the guy made sense. All those struggles shortens man's life span and death comes from the heart, or haven't you read about people who slumped while in traffic?

White007:
Think about it , what did the igbo's say or do to the northern youths to warrant those threats ?
Weeks ago , army chief buritai flew a kite by alarming Nigeria of plans for a coup but we all dismissed it , now an "unprovoked" youth group sat in arewa consultative forum HQ , TWICE, issuing threats to set Nigeria into a state of anarchy.
To who's benefit?
The yamiri's (all non-yoruba southernans) are just pawns in this high level scheme of those who are bent on holding on to power by hook or crook.
Their backup plan is being set in motion should incase Buhari leaves us.
Osinbajo is the target.
Anarchy is the best excuse for a coup.

You are making so much sense. I hadn't looked at that perspective before now. Kudos

You could have sued for unlawful detention, believe me you will get judgment and levy execution against him personally. Make sure he dies in penury

Bari22:
wetin concern him? why he never speak or react while ipobs are issuing their threats? we are not southwest were you declare a no man's land and you are still existing, we never tolerate nonsense even in the past.

please Buhari give them their country, let us see how drugs and baby factory can develop a country

or please join them with niger deltans, let them kill themselves as the case with south sudan

for your own information all hausas lving in igboland are advised to come back home, if not you are on your own

we are not ipod chest beaters, a mere ultimatum they are already panicking we belive in action not words of mouth
