The statement said that embarrassing the testifier publicly was never intended and that the action of the Senior Pastor was based on his and the church's aversion to seeming mediocrity

If you don't want poor people(aka mediocre) to give testimony, screen them ahead of time.
Don't embarrass them in public.

From her looks and demeanour, that woman may be a dyslexic/autist who struggled to graduate.
She has gone through enough only to be humiliated by the "man of god" turned detective.

Yet the church members couldn't subdued the assailant... When no be say he carry gun...

They did.
If not many would have died.

So soldiers behave same way everywhere?
I thought there are special places in Nigeria where the army is extra nice.

immortalcrown:
Thank you for this point. I have always said that most Nigerians judge actions based on who performs the actions, not based on the actions. A can be condemned for doing what B was celebrated for. I support neither cross dressing nor rough handling of currency notes. But I am against selective justice.

All justice are selective.
Some armed robbers are in jail while others are walking free.
I am sure you don't crucify the police for such.

And this has nothing to do with "saner clime" or not.
Trump is facing multiple legal challenge regarding his business
for the misdeeds that many businessmen in his category does and got away with it.

Some black weed smokers are languishing in US jails while others were pardoned by Obama and Biden.

It would have been a different issue if he was convicted of a crime that is not in our law book
or was innocent.

Prosecutors choose who to charge or not. It is standard for non-violent crimes.

BTW, Bobrisky is not the first to be jailed for spraying Naira.

Busybody online fathers seeking for DNA.
Over to you!

Funds that would have been channeled to people in IDP camps in Africa. This is one of the reasons Africa is aligning with the Global South.

Africa is not aligning.
It has never aligned in modern history.
Africa accepts aid from anywhere it can. Even during the cold war, it played both sides.

If you are referring to the 3 juntas, they are exceptions whose policies are nothing but
survivalist in nature.
Time will tell.

This is totally confusing and in conflict with what is it in public domain that Nigeria already sold their oil upfront for loan taken. Our journalists need to do better and I think they contribute more woes to Nigeria situations than the government. Is there any logic in what already been sold not to be marketable again, I may be wrong, somebody please enlighten me. Moreover, Dangote is there, that you earlier said is buying from abroad, this is totally illogical

The idea of our oil being sold into the future is pure exaggeration.
Yes, some oil was used for loan but it is a very small part of our overall production.

You are right though, we have the most lazy and incompetent journalist in the world,
they never fact check their stories. As long as the headline is enticing, they are satisfied.

Lanre1st:


There is more to it than your simple analysis.

All these Western countries are evil 😈 to Africa development and our leaders have little options to decide. To a normal human thinking, Dangote shouldn't being buying from US, but US will loss part of it revenue from Nigeria (including shipping business) that is why they demand Dangote must continue buying from US which is still as if we are importing petroleum from them.

You can see why I can't blame all those countries that stage coup and align towards Russia

Dangote refinery and aligning towards Russia in one sentence?
It is clear you don't know what you are talking about.

What a load of trash.
This one thinks country acts based on emotions.
So Russia that depends on Iran for drones and still struggling in Ukraine will join Iran?
Or is it China that values its economy more than any other thing?

You may be right though, since you didn't tell us what you mean by win.

I hope you have evidence for your claims.
I don't want to hear nonsense noise about witch hunting or begging for forgiveness when sued for damages.

NigerianAngelo:
There's a need to investigate Army training grounds and Barracks.

80% who come out from there come out mad.

It's not the same with Europe and China. Those ones are 99% alright, yet stronger.

They should open inquiry on Life at Camp / Daily Life at 'Barrack'.

It is not the training ground.
It is the recruits and society.

An average Nigerian equates civility with weakness
in conflict situation.
You don't expect such person to change overnight just
because they joined the army.

The farmers are obviously looking for agric loan.
When exactly was egg sold for 5000?

BondRiv:


Homicide is not the charge. The charge is murder. On what basis will it be downgraded to manslaughter? The police need to be serious with the case. This doesn't appear to be one of manslaughter.

Please, go check the meaning of homicide.

Hint: there are different types of murder.

On the basis of the charge being downgraded. It is all about evidence not sentiments.

ElSudani:
what about the items she took from the victim? There's no way she's walking free.

It is not about walking free but downgrading the charge from homicide to manslaughter.

Praxis758:
A murder case like this should be an opportunity to strengthen our forensic investigation and infrastructures, but the black race do not build for the future.

Mr. White race, put your money where your mouth is.

Dangote is obviously running an MMM ponzi scheme with this imaginary refinery.

How much did you or anybody you know invest in the MMM scheme?
What was the promised percentage profit and timeline?

if it was in the US he will be in Jail for lying to the public for claiming to do what he can't do.

Here we go again.
It is obvious you have never left Nigeria.
Nobody ever goes to jail for lying, not in the real Europe or America as opposed to your imaginary one.
Even politicians who are supposed to be accountable to the public never goes to jail for lying,
let alone private citizen.

sleek214:

I don't have energy for unintelligent people like you this morning.
You call people DUMB but unfortunately you're ignorant of some of the happenings in that refinery, between 2017 - 2023 , heavy fraud was committed in the name of the refinery, I repeat, Dangote was getting Forex very cheap, he had waivers on most of the equipments he imported.

It is a disaster when you are proudly ignorant.
Oh, it is now waivers he got and therefore 'cheap forex'.
I doubt you even know the meaning of waivers and how it is obtained.

Many of you are not different from garage touts when discussing issues.
You believe repeatedly shouting "cheap forex" will automatically make it true.

In case, you still struggle to understand this simple issue as you are obviously on
the left side of the bell curve. I will break it down for you.

When you claim that an entity got a commodity cheaply, there is no need crying or
shouting to prove your point.
All you need do is to point out the real price of the said commodity vs the
"cheap price" the entity paid at the reference time.

That shouldn't be too complicated for you, should it?

What did he expect?
That they give up and move on?

Airpeace slashed price to gain market and push out competitors.
The competitors are now reacting with their own slashed prices.

What Airpeace should have first done is implement a small price reduction,
watch the competitors reaction and make another decision based on this.

But if it comes to running at a loss, I doubt Airpeace can do that for up to a year
because some of these foreign Airlines can take loss for a very long time because
they have other other very profitable route.

If building a borehole qualifies you to become a president, what qualifies you to become a. Councillor.

If you get the correct answer you stand a chance to win a price

What qualifies you to become a president is being a Nigerian and having a school cert equivalent.
Borehole is not a criteria and should not even be encouraged for environmental reasons.

They don't know that Aliko is a businessman.
And the refinery has a very huge debt profile.
He will want to capitalize on existing price to make huge profit.
Government needs to be involved in pricing of products from his refinery, else , the monopoly continues.

To the bold as what?

sleek214:

The federal government, provided almost everything he needed, FG gave him Forex at a very discounted rate. So, he should splash the price

You guys should stop with the dumb line of "discounted rate" for forex.
There is nothing like that.
At least, you should first understand the FX sector before discussing it.

Or maybe I am wrong. Maybe he bought dollar at #200 when the official rate was #400.

BTW, he is in business for money not sentiment or charity.

He is right.
And the primary consumers of this industry are the online alpha males.
I be red pill, I be red pill but they spend 80% of their income on female sex workers.

Fake news for clout.
The truth is most traditional church are pro-illegal immigrant.
They protect rather than expose them.

I don'[t know what being a foreign brand has to do with laws

The police is accusing someone of de-marketing. It that is an offence in our laws, I wonder how being a foreign brand exempts MTN from enjoying that protection.

Reno's claims cannot be true because he said so. He is not a competent body to make such claims

It has everything.
Police do not search internet for demarketers unless the victim makes a report!

If someone set a neighbors house on fire and the neighbor refuse to report,
it is not the duty of the police to start moving from street to street in search
of arsonist with no known victims.

I am surprised that you are asking such question with obvious answers.
In many crimes especially those in the fringe of civil violations, no victim no crime as far as the law is concerned.

But if you happen to be a member of MTN's top management, you may wish to report Reno
to the police for the actual crime he committed against your company.

Yankee101:
Please is the brand truly sugary or she just lied?

So, you too have never bought it?
Many people never heard of Erisco until this saga.
But from the few previous customers comments, it doesn't taste any different from other local products.

It is not even the sugary aspect that is the problem(they all have sugar derivatives and
that could be written off as mere opinion), it is the claim that the product is killing people.

faceland:

He lost about 30m in sales due to the review, but he killed his business by not letting it go.

Killed his business?
Do you have access to his balance sheet?
Do you think this is America or Europe.

Erisco is not a fool.
Most of the people buying Erisco's product are not on Tiktok or Reddit
and even some that are there don't care about brand label.

In fact, if Chioma's lawyers are smart, they will argue for leniency because the review or
the backslash had no signifiant effect on Erisco's bottom line.

Now he wants to distroy her life by using the Nigerian legal system.

How is he destroying her life.
Please explain?

It is too late.
The highest he will get is court victory after Obaseki's tenure is over.

eldoradoxx:
Wike is in PDP to do nothing more than act as a spoiler for the party. Wike is an APC members whose mission in PDP in to cause disruption in the party, weaken the party from within and sell it to APC/Tinubu ahead of next presidential election so that he will be rewarded with VP slot after Tinubu's 8 years tenure. It is time for Atiku and the rest of PDP if they are indeed serious to show Wike out of PDP. No one man is bigger than his political party.

Are you loyal to the PDP?
How much have you contributed to its pocket?

If the list remains.
Sim will be denied a second term ticket.
He will either move to APC or Labor party.
