...this money suppose reach people wey dey observe lent too nah

Now that NYSC is in the news, let me tell my experience a long time ago while serving in the core north.
During platoon duties in the kitchen we were made to awake and cook earlier so those who were fasting could eat early.
Na so one girl start to dey complain say how e take concern us after all no be camp them say no religious song for the loudspeakers from camp radio? She talk say how their fast take concern the rest of us wey no dey fast. Na so all of us begin dey beg the girl make she no loud am oh.
They come drag the girl commit before kasala go burst for camp, chai.
After camp I dey come from my PPA come do one or 2 things for camp when next batch come, na so I see say Lent don start but e come be like say nothing dey happen.
Based on say they not too dey loud 40 days fast for Lent na so camp dey as normal.
Well I come see say even those wey dey fast for Lent no too dey talk am come out.
E come be like say many people sef no dey fast for Lent or remember say fasting dey till Easter.
But this 30 days fasting eh e dey shut down many things for that side oh, no be only school

Isn't this laughable

Adjourn sitting indefinitely because na their house

So what would happen to what they were voted to do

This can't be democracy
Sad

We're having people openly say how they made this one governor, president, senator, and so on
Doesn't it tell you that votes don't count and people don't matter to them

If one man or clan of power brokers can say -
Remove him
Put her
Sack him
Promote her
Replace her
Prosecute him
Investigate her
Impeach him

One man? One small set of people

Lai lai lala

Can we unsee what has been seen

Olamila:
Terrorist don’t die because it’s an idea 💡 that needs to be killed first with a supreme idea. The northern states will continue in self destruction until they kiss the truth.

Nothing more to add

You've said it all

valentineuwakwe:
Anything irrelevant issue or thing in Nigeria wil want to trend whereas alot of important national issues are yet to be resolved!

The next week will the seun and vdm chants and rants over the media space...

We are not yet done with El rufia and SDP
Lande and cheating wife scandal
Akpabio and sexual harassment
Fubara and 27 house member


This country is really a funny one!

Loud it

Please and please let's keep focused. Don't fight, engage or die in their war.

Wetin concern us whether PBAT is wise and Seun's people in his head are stupid?

Person open mouth waaaaah say people wey criticise a public figure are stupi.d and we should now turn to reactors!

Why should we be the ones reading meaning whether this video was directed at VDM?

Which kain assignment be this one?

As data don cost and things don go up, we go dey analyse every fly that passes, every dog that barks, every skit abi video made? Why nah.

Unless Seun Kuti or Seyi Tinubu or VDM or President Tinubu are the ones buying your data, employing you, feeding you, housing you, please focus on your work or skill or health or school or life.
Nigeria is in a sorry state to be dragged into worthless engagements and idle banter.

I salute

All shades of wrong in my humble opinion, and no it's not because it is Natasha or a woman.
It's the same way I saw Senator Ningi's suspension then as all shades of wrong.
Let us sincerely, intentionally, deliberately stand for the right thing and not use emotions, tribe, religion or pasts scenarios involving Natasha and Godswil.
It is well

Kavod:
WHO CARES HOW AN ANIMAL IS KILLED? BUT TO ORDER AND BUY AM CHOP DE SWEET DE SWEET UNA.

IF UNA TOO LIKE ANIMALS WHY UNA NOR GET RESERVE OR CONSERVATION FOR THEM? UNA FOR EVEN BE VEGETARIANS. MTCHEEEEEEEW

Even humans die but the way death comes should be dignified
We eat animals (protein) but it would be nice to kill these animals in a way that doesn't showcase cruelty, wickedness or violently.

PS: na snake dey hiss oh, abi wetin be mtcheeeeew

Some have food but cannot eat
Some can eat but have no food
We have food and we can eat
Glory be to Jesus Christ

World where there are innocent children who didn't ask to be born going to bed and about their day without assurance of food, is the same world people have enough to eat and be obese

I'm telling you, when you go to gym and see people complain they are fat, tell them that the first thing they should do is support or set up a food back and give to the hungry...
... then come back to the gym and tone your abs and improve your cardio

better to be late than to be the late.
If the red car is a supercar the driver probably miscalculated it's speed.
I once drove someone's fast car and just a small tap on the accelerator na so we crash! Make we learn to dey calm down, slow down for traffic.
I thank God no one died. I hope the 3rd party insurance is used here to help the wrong party repair the other's vehicle. Whether na the red car owner oh abi na the garbage truck!

truly animal cruelty exists.
We should never support animal cruelty.
That said, do you wonder what was going on in the mind of this man?
Had he been attacked by cows before? Or his farm? Or his family or friend's own? Or by herdsmen?
Or is he angry about the cost of cow? Or he is angry that those he called to help kill it overcharged him?
If I ask you na who you go ask

Peter Obi remains a private citizen as Tinubu's supporters always say that Tinubu was from 2007 to 2023.

Peter Obi is using his private life productively.

Before you react or comment
Or troll PetObi or his activities ask yourself 2 questions
1. What are other politicians (now private citizens with no portfolio or office) doing with their lives, influence and affluence?
2. What are you doing yourself?

maasoap:
I don't understand you. Are you saying that the police were supposed to detain the couple indefinitely regarding the order/request of the military man?

They were not to take orders from the military man simpliciter

I sympathise with her but playing the emotional card of single mother, makes it look like a mother with her husband needs no pity.
Beloved mothers should try and beg their children in secret so they don't have to come to the Public and face all sorts of public reactions.
Honour your father and mother also includes what you make your parent go through as a consequence of your action.

Oh let justice be done
Army took civilian to police and police ended up being used as a detention camp/guard room! Pity
You detain citizens in a station without the police taking statements from both parties?
Then at the instance of the Maj Gen, not the DPO oh, you release them after 8 hours?
Oya make una clap for yourselves!
Uniform plus salary from tax payers

True story
I was driving some time ago minding my business, on a journey when I overtook a car and ended up between 2 cars I later found out were in convoy, military.
But it was a madam that was in the back seat of the car behind.
When that one overtook me eh if you see the eye them give me eh e reach for me to carry my car dey go back house.
I never knew there was implication of overtaking convoy oh!
Mind you there was no insignia of army na when I see the uniform I no say God save me.

My former hall!
Whatttttt

Rice again?!

Front chair review and opinion -
This was at the late Emeritus Archbishop Patrick Ebosele Ekpu's funeral on the 22nd of August 2024 at Holy Cross Cathedral, Mission Road, Benin City, Edo State.
Those who sat on that pew where past governors and deputies.
There you'd see Oyegun, Obaseki, Odubu and Shaibu.
Of those mentioned, all are Catholics except Obaseki who is Anglican.
Among other past governors are Igbinedion who is Baptist and Oshiomhole who is Catholic, both of whom were absent.
During Mass, before Holy Communion, there is the exchange of handshakes or bows (popularised during Covid19) known as the sign of peace.
At that juncture Shaibu decided to see what Obaseki would do knowing he is in front of the altar.
Obaseki wasn't particularly interested in optics.
From my assessment, Oyegun who is above 80 having marked his birthday on the 12th of August, nudged Obaseki to shake Shaibu.
Obaseki being diplomatic or respectful to Oyegun agreed but did it with the barest minimal contact.
I may say there are several reasons.
But sadly, at this point I'm tired of typing and need to go back to work.

So walk into a real Roman Catholic church in Nigeria that I know of oh,
You see where "Holy" water is put for collection, free of charge.
So people, Catholics or non-Catholics go there to fetch even with jerricans.
It is water that salt has been added to with prayers.
Due to the salt input it is not to be drunk.
Many who believe and use "Holy" water from the Catholic church,
Use it to sprinkle on themselves, family, shops, car, businesses, house warming,
And to challenge foul spirits.
Over time people of faith have been urged to focus on the power of God
And not on these things God has permitted to be used to carry His blessings and powers,
Such as your mother, yes, I said it, your mother, the mother of Jesus, healing fountains like that of Siloam,
Where an angel of God stirred for first come first serve to receive healing, handkerchiefs, shadows, bones like
those of Elisha and others the Roman Catholic church has verified and beatified as saints, water, candles,
Scapulas, rosaries, pendants, and many others.
Dear, look at it, anything, I repeat, anything you use or place above God is your idol!
You can kill for your mother, for the mother of Jesus, for your water, for your pastor's reputation, image, name,
story, ministry, etc you are idolatrous. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity
and idolatry, because you have rejected the Word of the Lord God in His 1st to 3rd commandments.
These commandments having been summarised by Jesus as the 2 new commands, love the Lord God and
your neighbour as you love yourself. You love God and you turn images, water, pastor, mother, father, child
Into your idol and reliance and your tipping point? What is the difference between you and that fanatic of any
Religion?
I don't stand with VDM or Fufenyi
I stand with truth.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Happy birthday to you Seun

May they rest in peace.
If truly the helicopter has manufacturing issues, they should recall it's model and save lives for the future.

Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God Almighty, the Word made flesh...

Taiwojon:
Well what you think cannot change nature or God plan for man.

Let nature take it course
And you repent from your sins. ......

Hell and God judgment await you if you fail to turn from your way-ward, gay supporting lifestyle.

Jesus love you

Amen to your prayers for that person.

Now the person is not a Christian nor church goer but claims any position on the issue of sexuality contrary to the person's is bigoted.
But on the flip side the person's position on that not being a sin is not bigoted.

Any argument or position from their camp is justified and human right and love and tolerance and acceptable and commendable for being out and proud (pride being a sin itself which precedes a fall)

But

Anything or anyone contrary to them is bigoted or a bigot, like I don't get!

People who support family unit, marriage, defence of martiage, in holding common sense, rational thinking, humility to learn and stand by their values, principles, facts and truths, biological truths, science, faith in God Almighty (the only Creator of this wonderful world and sole Owner of the sun, moon and rainbow),

Is a bigot, is hateful, judgmental, self righteous, living in the 15th century, is archaic, is under religious and African and medieval indoctrination, is a homophobe (fears homos, heterosexuals don't fear homosexuals, they do not agree with the concept. Phobia is fear of things like snakes, water and all that but not someone with such lifestyle. I don't agree that a man or woman should set out to be a single parent and spread hate against the other gender, does it mean I fear single parents? No! So would you say I'm single-parent-phobic? )

Really

You Flamemignon1 use all your intelligence, schooling experience, knowledge, access to internet, rationality and rational thinking, ability to use a communication device (laptop, phone or tab) to defend ignorance and outright liesssssss!? Look at your socket and plug! Look at a car when the owner is buying fuel

It's not just about Will Smith or Hollywood
It's the whole concept of LGBT +
It defies faith, common sense, science, pleasure, biology and everything that can progress the world.
That people are adults doesn't men they have absolute power and wisdom to do right, act right or make right decisions always.
That they are adults doesn't mean we allow them do what they like in their closet, in private or within their families.

Are adults who are married to others allowed to sleep with other people in private because they are adults? No!
Are adults who are drinking poison in private to commit suicide allowed to do that because they're adults?
Are adults allowed to say white is pink and what is a a woman because they are adults?

You may say, is it hurting anybody? Is that the problem of Nigeria? Are heterosexuals not committing sins in adultery, rape and fornication? Yes and yes, so why add to the problems of this world? When we are working against the errors of heterosexuals and Nigeria's economic and the on going strikes? Why add to these problems? Why?

Nigeria is crumbling cause of poor leadership and all some Nigerians here and abroad can agitate for is gay rights and freedom of adults to be sexually perverts? Because it's in private and they are not hurting anyone? We should mind pur business? Na so Nigeria take spoil like this. See the lady on the other thread that said the coffee cup she left on her table when she was sick remained there till she returned! What a world! No be so God make am say make we dey face our own because say we be adults. No we're a community. Watch 2 ants when they meet, they intersect most times. But we say no oh make we mind our business to every extent including condoning sin and ignoring sin in our lives, those of loved ones and our neighbours. Na them be the priest and levite wey see that man for ground wey only the good Samaritan com help.

Wow just wow.

I choose to use my education, faith, resources, access to internet and on and on to contribute to a better world or I keep shut. Life is hard for many let's not add to it with stupidity, sin, crass madness and perversion. Abi you no dey use gas or buy garri?

I thought anal cancer, cancer of the mouth and AIDS and other stds would have been some people's wake up call already

casualobserver:
Did I say so? Learn to read and understand. I am responsible for what I say, I am not responsible for your poor grasp of English.

A child should be raised with both parents, a child should be raised knowing he/ she was wanted. A child and society should not be me made to pay the price of poor irresponsible choices and indiscipline of parents whether father or mother. A child who has not witnessed the proper dynamics of a heathy 2 parent family is by likely to end up damaged and dysfunctional. children of violent homes, single parent homes or parent abandonment by one parent hide a lot of pain, they often vow to correct it but they are often unable to because they don’t know otherwise themselves having not witnessed what it takes to have a stable family. You can’t give what you don’t have.

Gay bisexuality, criminality, gangs etc are symptoms of this dysfunction it’s and it is prevalent amongst black Americans because the family unit is broken down. It The black American family is probably the most dysfunctional family unit in the world. It is very rare to find a black American family with father and mother intact, even rarer to find 2 or 3 generations that were raised in a 2 parent environment, no separation, no divorce. Most of them are products of single parenting, unknown fathers, adoption, separation, women with multiple baby daddy,s men with multiple baby mamas etc etc.

You're so spot on

Take off and landing... hmmm
I thank God no one died
Quick recovery to the injured and traumatized

My heart goes out to people in and of Imo
God is in charge irrespective of who leads
Remember Darius, Cyrius and Nebuchadnezzar

I wish super eagles the best
AFCON IN Cote d'Ivoire at a time like this when Francophone countries are changing government by the military

[quote author=Racoon post=126357196][/quote]I beg who go help me find these 2 songs and their musicians

1. Cost of living is so high x2 transport cost so high, who do we complain to? No one to complain to.
(I remember the video of this song. It was in Lagos amidst danfo buses)
(The man also sang one song with him inside bubble bath)

2. Emily look what you've done to me...
(I remember the video was about how a young wife got boys to attempt to kill her older husband for his money)

Those good old days sha.

Like a number of people here, these songs remind us of some loved ones passed
