iLoveYouToo: “Going by your experience, would you honour another invitation for an interstate party?.”
This question was totally unnecessary. Quite insensitive
Don't mind the yeye journo. I was even surprised he mentioned party and not "interstate travel" in general - as if blaming the man for travelling for a frivolous reason.
Gadafii: So okada rider escaped after the bandits met soldiers on their way stream, shouldn't the okada rider had directed the soldiers to where the others were kept
Jakumo: This is by far one of the most viscerally terrifying kidnapping accounts that I have ever read in recent times. For typical law-abiding citizens who have never contemplated harming another human being, it is impossible to visualize the depth of gleeful, sadistic evil that resides in the hearts of career criminals who injure, maim, and kill their victims as a matter of daily routine. This first-hand account of a kidnap ordeal provides a jarring insight that lays bare in stark relief the abject paralyzing horror movie that is Nigeria in 2024.
Surveillance drones are required for deployment by police formations all over the Nigerian federation. With a round-trip mission range of well over ten miles, a used $500 DJI Mavic 2 Pro fitted with a new $200 extra-range battery sold online by Ali Express, could be issued to EVERY police station in the federation, after adequate laptop-based simulator training has been given to the drone operators. With this $700 security investment in all or some of Nigeria's police stations, and with flight batteries charged at a centrally located solar-powered drone battery charging station in each town, the tide can very quickly be turned against the kidnap gangs now proliferating with alarming speed all over the Nigerian federation.
Yes, this is would be a good start. But we'd still have a RESPONSE problem. We've always had a response problem. More often that not, our police know where these people are, yet nothing happens.
Say you want to buy a phone that doesn't have data connection capacity. Which can one buy these days? Nokia used to be good, but the ones they're selling now have pue pue batteries and yamayama keypads. Which can one buy these days?
chukkystar: Ghadafi had Libya debt Free. Ghadafi was the best thing that ever happened to Libya. Do U know what Saudi and Iran have done to the Middle East through funding proxy wars? Do U know how America created ISIS and how if Sadam was Alive Sadam would have crushed them. Go check Syrian war, if not that Russia stepped in to help AlAssad He too will be labelled terrorist leader
chukkystar: The Media is a massive tool. Its how the west painted Ghadafi and Saddam as Terrorists. The main thing is Africa needs to take back control of its resources one way or the other.
So you think Ghadafi and Saddam weren't bad people. That all it took to make them look bad was the media. Good for you.
Konquest: Dele Giwa got killed via the effects of a parcel bomb at his off Allen Avenue residence in Ikeja, Lagos State in 1986 (the same year Prof. 'Wole Soyinka won the Nobel prize for Literature) during the ruthless IBB military years.
Second, during the very corrupt and brutal years of the Abacha military dictatorship in the 1990s, a Journalist Bagauda Kaltho got killed via a bomb at Hamdala Hotel in Kaduna, Sylvester Odion Akhaine, Bayo Onanuga and Kunle Ajibade both of The News Magazine and other Journalists got arrested, beaten, and sent to isolated jails alongside several lawyers and pro-democracy activists. So, military rule isn't the BEST to be honest.
Look at how the Niger Republic military junta is blindly replacing the French and American forces in their country with the Russian forces... They are busy replacing one form of White neocolonialism with another form of White neocolonialism, instead of these people to learn to be truly independent and ONLY work in the area of partnerships with friendly countries around the world.
What they care about is regime survival–hence Russia. Those criminals in power aren't about the country, but some people are too delusional to see it.
FreeStuffsNG: It's based on the faith practiced by each of those being sworn in.
It's not new among the Yoruba. Emeritus Prof Wande Abimbola, former Vice Chancellor, University of Ife, Ile-Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) was sworn into office as a Federal Minister in 2003 with Iwo (horn) filled with charm in the Ifa tradition.
Former Federal Minister, 91-year old Emeritus Prof Wande Abimbola is still a practicing Babalawo till date.
May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!
How's Prof Abimbola's Ifa Heritage University doing?
chatinent: The funny thing they don't know is that as far as they buy meat from the abattoir, they've eaten it once in their lifetime...even a vulture meat.
Now, you're just trying to make yourself feel better about your culinary choices.
Jokerman: But if we don't put unqualified teachers in one government school, how else can we repay our party faithfuls for their work during elections??
I doubt it's public schools though. Probably private schools swelling the numbers, especially in Lagos.
chiiraq802: It's a nice idea, but corruption go gree
What makes it a nice idea to renege on your contractual obligations and suffer fellow Africans? What you people don't even know is that what we supply them is very small and does not really affect our output.
Anyway, algae are some of the healthiest superfoods you can eat. You should try spirulina or chlorella and watch your body transform and radiate with health and vitality.
NairaOcean: In a display of extravagance, students from Elite High School in Entebbe, Uganda, made a striking entrance at the prom. Accompanied by an impressive convoy of luxury vehicles, the student's arrival captured the attention of all in attendance.
The spectacle began with a helicopter hovering above, casting a dramatic spotlight on the scene below. Following closely behind were a series of prestigious cars, including Tesla, Mercedes Benz, and Lamborghini, each adding to the grandeur of the moment.
Attendees were left in awe, speculating on what future events might bring. One thing is certain: the Elite High School prom of 2024 will be remembered for its unforgettable display of luxury and style.
Rapmoney: I know many of us do not know the full meaning of 'Police' despite the fact that we commonly use the word to refer to law enforcement officers. The word 'POLICE' is an acronym for Public Officer for Legal Investigations and Criminal Emergencies Now you know the meaning.
P - Protection O - Of L - Law I - In C - Communities E - Everywhere
This is a common mnemonic device used to remember the primary purpose and function of police forces, which is to protect and serve communities by upholding the law.
WaywardSon: They’re only there to safeguard the supply chain of US and French uranium The insurgency in the Sahel region only favors them because they get to buy raw materials dirt cheap by keeping the local government weak. Russia and Chinese interests are to get rid of powerful warlords the US and French have been maintaining.
Nigeria is going to benefit a lot from this because of the implications of cutting off terrorist cells in the Sahel region will keep the Nigerian army on its toes and reduce the burden of tracking these terrorists when they migrate outside Nigeria to mobilize
Kobojunkie: There are no prophets except Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ is the last prophet anointed by YHWH and sent to the people of Israel.
Are you sure? What of St John (the Revelation man)? What of Oshoffa? What of TB Joshua?
Image123: Genesis 20v7 specifically refers to Abraham as a prophet. That's why i called him one. In your defence of Abraham as a prophet, your point was that, "Abraham, while not a classic, crusading prophet like Moses, Elijah or Isaiah, heard from God REGULARLY and was shown future events. So if we abandon a strict construction and take on an expanded definition, Abraham was a prophet." Though i don't know your definition of regularly, i don't know how many times the children of Philip heard from God to be called prophetesses but i know that they prophesied. As for Isaac, he was with his father at different points of his life, like God trusted Abraham to do. We cannot forget their JOINT experience with God on Mount Moriah. We cannot leave out Isaac meditating in the field, like recorded in Genesis 24v63. Genesis 26v2 is also very direct about Isaac hearing from God. i am not sure that he could have accomplished the great exploits we read about without hearing from God. We also saw the clear prophecies he made towards Jacob's life in chapter 27, which were not of his will or reversible by him. All the same, i have not called him a prophet. i have only stated that he takes that slot as a qualified patriarch and before Oshoffa's son. We cannot only look at examples of prophets and discard the example of their own patriarch, Isaac. That's very selective and biased. Marriage was not made for prophets alone, why do we have to make a doctrine or teaching of marriage limiting it to only prophets? How many prophets' lives or wives do we know? How many wives did prophet Daniel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, or Ezekiel have? These are the people that we call major prophets, right? How many wives did Elijah and Elisha, Samuel and Jonah have? The point is that the Oshoffa man had no real Bible based point.
My niece dreams fairly regularly, yet I don’t consider her a prophet, at least, not in the sense we’re talking about. So, obviously my statement was not meant to be a comprehensive definition. Thing with the prophets in the Bible is (1) there was a PATTERN of God speaking through them, and (2) They had a message for the world, or at least, for the community. If you ask me to define a prophet in light of the Bible, I’d say someone who brings a message from God for the world. Which is why I considered Abraham one, even before you remind me of the scripture where God called him one. Like Isaac, my niece receives messages about people in our family, not messages for the world or the community. Which is why I don’t consider her a prophet. Maybe the children of Philip had prophecies about salvation for the world, hence prophets in the sense we’re talking about. Or maybe they were simply called prophets the way Abraham was and the way the Cele church has called Oshoffa jnr one?
Like you said, there were men of God we don’t know their marital status and we should not make assumptions (like Daniel); some were monogamous (Job, Peter, etc.), and some were (likely) celibate (Elijah, Paul, etc.). However, while you have made good points about the great prophets (not that those points were disputed), you’re nitpicking Oshoffa and using his words against him. Everyone knows many men of God of old (including prophets and non-prophets) exercised the CHOICE to be polygamous and that this fact did not detract from their standing with God or diminish them in the eyes of their followers. This is the point. I doubt Oshoffa or anyone would be crazy enough to hold this up as a recommendation. No, it's just a fact - that for Bible believers, the choice of polygamy is as valid as that of monogamy. Denying or obfuscating it is a waste of time, because the Bible is there. Of course, things change a bit when we move into the New Testament where monogamy is clearly recommended for church leaders. Meaning that any church that reads the NT literally will not elevate you to deacon or pastor (or prophet!) if you have more than one wife.
