Toto remains toto

When will a female ever get an appointment or position without men and some women attributing it to what you just posted?
When men get appointed what did they have to do? What do you attribute it to? If it was Laycon or Neo?

Change this mindset it's terribly offensive and disrespectful to the female kind

costandi:
She never performed this song at Kanye's Sunday service. Get your facts right

I wanted to fear oh

Haven immersed my research in Ex Ministries by G. Craig Lewis e for no quantise if she sing this song for Kanye Sunday service, no no

It's been long I attended crossover in church
But I entered 2020 in church and we sang Way Maker like a million times (hyperbole)
We innocently did not know 2020 go rugged, but we rugged am back God helping us.
Sadly a number of people who sang this song that day are no more.
2020 sha
God knows best and we accept His will.
There is a lifting up, amen.
Way Maker on repeat, cutting across denominations, tribes, nations and biases.
God is my Way Maker, My Help, My Father, My Creator, My life's purpose

May the better team win

Booking space even though I hardly hear him clearly

If you know you are not expecting anything say aye
If you are waiting to be wowed say nay

... at the end we will know who has it

The ayes have it, where i belong. He didn't disappoint me

Can we ever go back

They've tasted blood they can't go back to being domesticated, I mean those benefitting from this present chaos, anarchy, doom and hardship

Mind you people are still building estates, swimming pools, going for vacations and dashing out iphones

In this same Nigeria

I still have hope

All deaths in the past days concerning this protests are all avoidable

Meanwhile there are crimes now related to this protests which include-
Raping, Breaking and Entry, Extortion, Road Blocks and paying before passing, Burning of public buildings get such as police stations, over 1000 inmates released from prison, hardened people unleashed into the society who don't know the modus operandi of the protest, but see everyone outside the prison as an enemy.

Where are the police people?
They are guarding legislators, executives, judicial persons and rich people who can pay for them.

Police cannot help you if bad boys come under the guise of protest to come and loot, rape and kill! So where do you turn to? Self help? Your guns or weapons, or street vigilante? Oh please.

Welcome to the desire for the enthronment of the New World Order 
I'm not a conspiracy theorists but sadly all that's happening is a script.
You turn off lights and CCTV at Lekki toll? What do you expect?
You open prison gates to let out inmates? What do you expect?
You slap people with hike in fuel then electricity back to back? What do you expect?
You pay one human being 26million monthly for saying aye or nay or even sleeping and what do you expect?

I can go on, but alas my phone battery is running down and do there's been no light since and there is curfew.
So how do we buy fuel, diesel or get charge phones?
What do you do at home when there is no light and even food or joy?

What a country 

PS: I'll copy this my post and paste it on as many threads as I can

With the curfew order they will now be seen as law breakers, very tactically sad
Those in Benin are fighting against nature as heavy rain has been falling in Benin since, if they are following Metereological report

I wish they didn't have to die
May they rest in peace

Look at the way in many states people are being used to cause mayhem and distort the purpose of this outcry

It's not a fight for Internet fraudsters, or queer people or Oduduwa, Biafra or Arewa
It's for you and I who live in Nigeria, who desire a better Nigeria, who have hope

It is far beyond SARS, bag of rice, hike in fuel and electricity, expensive governance and ASUU strike
It's a bad state of the nation

Where can we turn to?
Definitely not to UN, AU, EU, ECOWAS, ICJ, US, UK or coup

We must turn to God in prayers for direction, wisdom and sustainability.

I'll give you 2 stories-

For those of us who have digested (gone beyond reading) Animal Farm,
You'll notice that after the animals chased out the humans they didn't know how to live, led or what to do!
Then the pigs took it up and the rest is history

After this what do we want to achieve?
If you think Buhari will step down as it is in some other countries ask yourself, who'd take over? What good has come to those countries whose leaders stepped down unceremoniously

The second story is that of Jesus Christ.
After He preached one time the people sought to forcefully enthrone Him but He slipped out of their midst and left, His was not a kingdom made by hands or the will of men. His mission was to come and redeem humans not to sit in their castles and palaces (what a demotion)!
After His mission in about 3 and a half years, He gave up His life for our sins, resurrected and now sits at the right hand of God in His heavenly Kingdom. Now His footstool is the very earth those people sought to enthrone Him in.

At the end of our struggles in this life, whether we see a better Nigeria in our life time or our children or sadly never, it's still not our final destination. We must ask ourselves what next in every striving, agitation, ambition, aspiration or planning.

[As a way of digressing, think, those people who have locked up mansions in their villages, City GRAs and in foreign lands which are unoccupied, what was their plan? Did they think their children or grandchildren will really stay in those houses or they would rent them out or what, shuttle between cities just to warm the beds?]

What really is the game plan, strategy and end game/result?

Be it in your personal life or in this protest, ask yourself and answer yourself!

Jesus Christ is my goal, my witnessing is my purpose, heaven in eternal life is my destination, fellowship with God is my ultimate

100%

We should also care for the ongoing protests, the positive side to the protests, how to reduce the negative sides of the protest and THE CONSEQUENCES, BREAKTHROUGH AND RESULTS OF THE PROTEST

happy birthday

OgaRico:
Abeg help me ask her.How can you be married to a well known name as Atiku and you are still using Ribadu that doesn't really ring a bell.
By the way,why is there no picture of Ribadu in Ribadu's daughter's wedding or them no invite am?

I think in the second picture, the man standing by the couple is Atiku to the right and Ribadu to the left after Tinubu

Politics is almost synonymous to lies and hypocrisy it should not be

Why is she still signing using her maiden name

So Nigeria is 60 years post independence, let us share pictures that are about Nigeria

if only Nigerians can be this united to stand against fuel hike and electricity tariff hike.

Can't we speak with one voice and boot out corruption from our government, religious bodies, civil service, hospitals, bus parks, tertiary institutions, marketplaces and even families kpakpa?

See how people have bought fuel or diesel or
Gone to visit friends with DSTV/GOTV with subscription
Rescheduled every other activity just to watch the grand finale
And yes,
Even Nl has graced it's fp with a thread which would run up to 10 pages I'm sure just for BBN.

My joy is that it ends today and will be gone for good.
After all we are not being inundated any more with stories of Tacha, Miracle, Bayo, Tapuwa, Ebuka, Mike, Efe, TTT or Tboss
Whew, BBN sha

Distracting children, youths and adults since 1945 if you doubt me go and read George Orwell's book titled 1984
Big brother watching you... shior

PS: I don't have light, I'm not turning on any generator and my subscription does not have BBN and no I'm not visiting any neighbour who has I'm seriously concerned about the electricity and fuel hike so I've real things to ponder on and not salivate over anyone getting 85million worth of prizes who can relocate to where fuel and electricity are affordable and spending/purchasing power is reasonable

Ok

Sad, but this to-be-private matter might reach fp 89% sure odds
PS: I'm not a gambler oh

IronMan077:
She is a devoted Catholic and conservative jury. Thank you Trump. 4+4

100% way to go

This concerns us even here in Nigeria because the US has a great influence on the rest of the world whether we like it or not

Trump the chess player he said he kept her because he knew the the late Justice may soon go
Being 48 years old, if this woman scales through she'd most likely be CJ one day.
She's conservative and I hope she'll do well. She stands against abortion which is highly commendable.
America needs help, they are abusing their liberalisation and are going further away from common sense, reality and God.
God save your people

Nice spirit. A good way to move on.
I wish him success in his time there.
Let the cut in his pay not bite him hard
