“I quickly reminded him that, as at (sic) that date in the United States of America, while the Democrats produced the Senate President, the Republicans (the opposition) produced the Speaker of the House of Representatives. I boasted that ACN was capable of suggesting to him ten names of members from the South West from among whom to choose if PDP would be magnanimous enough to practice democracy the way it was being practised in the USA, from where we imported our presidential system.
Oga, the situation in USA was the same thing only that in the USA, the central government was being controlled by a different party. It was the party with majority seats that was elected as speaker and not opposition. The PDP was in the majority, so how they give the speakership to the opposition? GEJ gave you the speakership, but you blantanly refused and you gave it to your slave masters.
Stop saying unpleasant things against the man of God, if you don't want the wrath of God to befall. Bishop David Oyedepo did what he supposed to do. The duty of a prophet is to foretell people about the direction of God of which the Bishop did. When he was telling Nigerians the evil that will befall them if this man is elected president, nobody listen to him. Everyboy is now crying. By the time the subsidy on petrol is removed, the hardship in the country will triple.

When it comes adultery or fornication, the Bible says 'flee'. Therefore, my brother, flee from that woman. The devil saw that you have a glorious destiny, there4, he wants to use that woman to scuttle your destiny.
I will not advise you to masturbate or to get a side chick, rather both of you should come together and iron things out. Your wife is going through somethings, let her be opened to you so that solution could be found.
Every sin is sin. There is no small or big sin. Moses, the strong man of God could not enter the promised land simply because of disobedience. Jesus Christ fortold all such things will happen when the time nears. We must be misguided.
Suspected robbers shoot Benue poly lecturer for daring them
John Charles, Makurdi 6 December 2021.
Some unknown gunmen suspected to be armed robbers on Sunday have killed a lecturer, identified as Echobu Adah, who worked with the Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo.
Sources said that the lecturer was travelling in his car when he was shot by gunmen along the Otukpo-Enugu highway.
A local who did not want to be mentioned said that the gunmen suspected to be armed robbers were operating on the highway when he drove to the scene.
"Unknown to him, the lecturer was said to be travelling back to his station at Ugbokolo around 5:00 pm on Sunday when he ran into the robbery scene and was shot dead."
The killing of the lecturer was said to have triggered a protest at Eke junction on the Otukpo-Enugu highway which caused gridlock on the road for hours.
When contacted, the State Command spokesperson, DSP Catherine Anene, confirmed the report and said that the deceased was shot dead by some suspected robbers.
"Yes, I just received the report, the deceased was in transit when he ran into the suspected robbers.
But unknown to him that the people were suspected robbers, he alighted from his car and walked towards them, but the suspects felt he was daring them, and they shot him. Nothing was removed from him," Anene said.

Biden and Russia's Vladimir Putin will speak via video call on Tuesday, the White House says, amid mounting tensions over Ukraine.
It comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US had evidence that Russia had made plans for a "large scale" attack on Ukraine.
But he added it was unclear if Mr Putin had made a final decision to invade.
Russia has denied any such intention, and accused Ukraine of executing its own troop build-up.
In a statement released on Saturday evening, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that Mr Biden will "underscore US concerns with Russian military activities on the border with Ukraine and reaffirm the United States' support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine" during his call with the Russian president.
Ukraine says Russia has deployed armoured vehicles, electronic warfare systems and 94,000 troops along their shared border.
It is the largest massing of Russian forces on its borders since it annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
Citing intelligence reports, Ukraine's Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Moscow could be planning a military offensive at the end of January.
The Russian troop movement has strained already tense relations between Russia and the US.
On Friday, Mr Biden warned he would make it "very, very difficult" for Mr Putin to "go ahead and do what people are worried he may do".
The US and its European allies have discussed imposing sanctions on Russia if it takes aggressive action.
While Ukraine is not a Nato member, it has close ties with the bloc and has received Western weapons including US Javelin anti-tank missiles.
Russian officials have denied any plans for an invasion, and say the border troops are there for military exercises.
Moscow has accused Nato of engaging in provocative behaviour by holding drills in the Black Sea, off Crimea. Russia's foreign ministry also said Ukraine has itself sent 125,000 troops to their shared border. Kyiv declined to comment on the claim.
This week Britain's most senior military officer said "we have to be on our guard" about the potential for conflict in the region.
Gen Sir Nick Carter told the BBC that he "distinctly hoped" there would not be a war with Russia, but added that Nato would have to be ready for that eventuality.
Tensions between Russia and Ukraine are nothing new. In 2014 Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and soon after started to back a separatist insurgency in Ukraine's east.
More recently, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has imposed sanctions on a powerful friend of President Putin and banned broadcasts by three pro-Russian TV stations.
See a selfish lady! You want an only child and you don't want to do hysterectomy, you are forcing vasectomy on someone son. I don't think you are ready for marriage. By the time age starts knocking at your door, you will back down with your stringent condition. I don't think the parents of the guy would accept that.
*Michigan school shooting: Suspect's parents arrested in Detroit*
The parents of a teenager suspected of a school shooting that left four dead have been arrested in Detroit hours after going on the run, say US media.
James and Jennifer Crumbley had failed to show up in court on Friday after being charged with involuntary manslaughter.
The couple are accused of ignoring warning signs before their son's alleged rampage.
They were detained after their car was spotted and police called, reports say.
Officers from Detroit police and the US Marshals - a federal law enforcement service - searched the area near downtown Detroit and located the couple in a basement.
The US Marshalls had offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrest.
The Crumbleys' lawyer had earlier told the BBC that the couple were not fleeing law enforcement - instead they had left town on the night of the shooting "for their own safety".
Ethan Crumbley, 15, is accused of using his father's gun to shoot classmates in Michigan. He has pleaded not guilty.
He is said to have opened fire on fellow students and teachers at his school in Oxford, about 35 miles (60 km) north of Detroit, on Tuesday.
The four killed were Tate Myre, 16, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Hana St Juliana, 14, and Justin Shilling, 17. Seven others were injured.
Ethan Crumbley is being charged as an adult, and is facing one count of terrorism, four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assaults with intent to murder and 12 counts of possession of a firearm.
*Why have the parents been charged?*
On Friday, Oakland County lead prosecutor Karen McDonald acknowledged that charging parents in a child's alleged crime was highly unusual.
According to her office's investigation, the boy was with his father last Friday when Mr Crumbley bought the firearm believed to have been used in the shooting.
A post on the boy's social media later that day showed off his dad's new weapon as "my new beauty", adding a heart emoji.
Just one day before the shooting, a teacher said she saw the boy searching online for ammunition, which prompted a meeting with school officials, Ms McDonald said. After being informed of the incident, Mrs Crumbley texted her son: "LOL I'm not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught."
And on Tuesday morning - hours before the rampage - Mr and Mrs Crumbley were called into the school for an urgent meeting after teachers found a note by their son, including several drawings of guns and bloodied people alongside captions like "the thoughts won't stop. Help me", and "blood everywhere". The boy had also written "My life is useless" and "The world is dead", according to the prosecutor.
School officials told the pair they would have to seek counselling for their son.
But the boy's parents did not want him to be removed from school that day, Ms McDonald said, and did not ask him whether he had the gun with him, or search his backpack.
At 13:22 later that day, Mrs Crumbley texted her son to say: "Ethan, don't do it." Minutes later her husband called police to report his gun was missing, said the prosecutor.
But authorities say the boy had already emerged from the school bathroom and opened fire on fellow students.
Ms McDonald said the charges were meant to hold the Crumbleys accountable and to send a message about responsible gun ownership.
"The notion that a parent could read those words and also know that their son had access to a deadly weapon that they gave him is unconscionable, and it's criminal," she said.
The prosecutor had previously noted that, although the gun had been purchased legally, it "seems to have just been freely available" for the child's use. According to her, the suspect took the gun from an unlocked drawer in his parents' bedroom and brought it to school.
Neither federal nor state law requires gun owners to keep their weapons locked away from their children.
In a video message posted to YouTube on Thursday, the school's superintendent Tim Throne said that - while the boy and his parents had been called to the office - "no discipline was warranted" at the time.
He added that the school looked like a "war zone" and would not be ready to operate again for weeks.
Ms McDonald alleged on Friday that, when James Crumbley heard about the shooting, he "drove straight to his home to look for his gun" before calling authorities to say he suspected his son was the perpetrator.
"I'm angry as a mother. I'm angry as a prosecutor. I'm angry as a person that lives in this county," she said. "There were a lot of things that could have been so simple to prevent."
On Wednesday, prosecutors charged the boy as an adult. He now face charges of terrorism and first-degree murder.
Announcing the charges, Ms McDonald said her office had "a mountain of digital evidence" to show the suspect had planned the attack "well before the incident".
You are a very wicked person. I support what the mother of your girl friend is doing to you. You imprenanted someone daughter and she put to bed at the same time, you don't want to marry her, but you will be sleeping with her. If a boy does this to your sister, will you be happy? The solution is that carry your people to the girl's family and regularise the marriage. The economy is hard but you, but you could not tie your manhood to your lap. A very wicked person!
BarrElChapo: What the Federal Government couldn't do, Mr Judge kudos to you sir
Inorder to declare a group or an individual a terrorist, the federal government has to file an expate motion before a federal high court judge in his/her chamber to declare it a terrorist organization before such group or individual will be declared a terrorist organization.
There is nowhere that is safe. The only place that is safe is with Jesus Christ. You must accet Him as your Lord and personal Saviour. I believe, if not that the place was a church, some lives would have lost.
His midget, short-devil, Christian & Southern-Kaduna-killing, terrorist of a father is one of the northern bastards politicians that took Nigeria back to the Stone Age in every sphere you can think of.
You would think they dropped from Heaven like Angel Gabriel when they were busy castigating Ebele Jonathan, (although the head of that ogogoro-drinking lunatic too is not correct, if not - Nobody replaces a winning horse).
If not for the cluelessness, ineptitude & incompetence of Ebele Jonathan and his garrulous wife, these uncircumcised Fulani terrorist bastards from Futa Jallon would never have smelt Aso Rock - Awon Oloriburuku Omo ale jati-jati.

The only political solution to Kanu's case is to avail him a fair trial. Anything short of this will be immoral, grossly inconsistent, demeaning and unacceptable.
Pls avoid quoting my mention comparing MNK case with pardoned Boko haram fighters. One of the clear differences between their respective cases is that MNK case is before the law court.
The Constitution gives the Attorney General of the federation to withdraw any case against the state. If the AG withdraws the case, that's the end.

They are not telling the truth. Some people are buying the walkie talkies and supplying to the bandits.
Instead of the youths to ask of scholarship for indigent students, there're asking of bread and butter. It's therefore means, these youths are living for eating and enjoyment. With these youths having this attitude, the baton to be handed to them by the expiring politicians is still a mirage.
Actually, GDP is yard stick used to rank the economies of the world. This is why the largest economy in the world is the USA, because of her GDP. In Africa, Nigeria is the largest economy based in her GDP. If it were by GDP per capital, USA cannot be regarded as the largest economy. Same thing applies to Nigeria in Africa.
To any one who God put it in his heart, pls help out a felllow man, I have been starving for 3 days now living on garri and groundnut I don't have anyone to turn to or ask. Pls if you can find it in your heart kindly help me out with any amount you can afford and I pray May God come through for you. Zenith Bank 22 517 99 285
Stop begging here. I hope you have hands to do something. Go to construction sites and do any job on the site. I hate people that have capable hands and are begging.
