Given all that you read, if that is the best response you could muster, then I infer you must have been a below average student whilst in school.

If you cannot think for yourself and rely on what you consume in everyday media choosing to see the world as black vs white, christian vs muslim, north vs south, east vs west then you are a problem unto yourself my brother.

Kenplay:
You sound pained and angry about this news.
Are you a muslim?

We have seen these things before and only God knows the horse trading that went on behind the scenes for these to happen.

Ofcourse the final outcome is to build a wall of hostility around Iran, thereby isolating it. But it will only push Iran into the waiting arms of China and Russia so nothing really spoil. Sanctions are ineffective if iran has partners to trade with and if they continue to look inward. Infact, history has suggested countries that look inward are the ones that often come out on top eventually.

The US knows going to war with Iran will be futile so this is their best bet. The real problems with the middle east will continue to be there, regardless of window dressing headlines (meant for reelectioning) such as these. This world has never been a peaceful place, I doubt if this world will ever be a peaceful place.

I dey tell you my brother.

Even if Iran of Hezbollah recognizes Israel as a soveign nation, it still won't help Trump's reelection chances.

Both of them are only interested in acquiring power.

Atiku will come out on up if they are both alive in 2023 simply because the North will do what the North does and Mr Tinubu will come to really realise what the average southerner thinks of him.

However having to chose between these two just comes to justify the conclusion I made a longtime ago about this country called Nigeria. It is really beyond Redemption.

You have a point but it just goes to show you how rich people think. He can't give her 21m from his own pocket because it does not serve him any purpose personally.

Kidwaya has probably been with finer girls than Erica and for the most part it was all about the sex. Which is why I kinda feel sorry for her.

Dalil8:
Too bad he isn't going to win. The streets have chosen Laycon.

Mr Waya, why don't you just give her the #42m from your billions instead of waiting for your son to win before giving it to her?


Billionaire my ass.

No problem sir, better to have a home we can call our own than to sell out and have our asses fcked without vaseline.

Very mature write-up.

Nice one mate

Oyedepo’s Statement, Daddy Freeze’s Errors and Ibiyeomie’s Threat

By: Deji Yesufu

David Ibiyeomie, a Pentecostal pastor in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, is the man in the eye of the storm. Ibiyeomie, in a two minute video, publicized by Sahara TV, is seen pouring venom on Daddy Freeze, an On-Air-Personality, who in recent years has gained reputation for criticizing Pastors. Ibiyeomie is quoted by Punch online as saying:

“I will never be alive and see anyone insult my father, you are not born, I will kill you, I will tear you into pieces. Insult me, I wouldn’t talk but insulting Oyedepo, I can’t be alive and you insult my father. The day Freeze insults Oyedepo, I will deal with him and arrest him. Who gave birth to you? Do you have a father? Show us his picture…”

It is obvious that Sahara TV intentionally quoted the pastor to drive home a simple point: a minister of the gospel should not be speaking like this; and they have succeeded in getting negative press to the pastor – if one were to consider the backlash that has been coming to the revered gentleman on social media since the video was published. While Ibiyeomie can come out to say that he was quoted out of context, the fact still remains that there is no context where a pastor should be found calling another man “a bastard” or condemning journalism; or exhibiting racial discrimination by calling some people “half caste”. He even went further to belittle the people of Somalia; as if they were not human beings. Ibiyeomie goofed badly and I would be returning to him before concluding this essay.

It was only when Daddy Freeze offered a response to David Ibiyeomie that the whole drama begin to take up some meaning and thus we begun to understand the context that Sahara TV denied everyone watching the video they published. A few days ago, David Oyedepo had published a tweet on his verified twitter handle that read:

“The only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife. Until it is in place, every other thing she tries to do will be out of place. A woman who refuses to submit to her husband is disobeying God. As a woman, you might even be a minister of the gospel, and your husband is not; the Word of God still says to submit yourself to him. A submissive woman is precious in the sight of her husband – Ephesians 5:22.”

In short, the overall bishop of Otta was saying that if a marriage was to be fruitful, a woman must totally submit to her husband. Oyedepo referenced Ephesians 5:22 that reads: “…Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord…” Freeze said that while Oyedepo was right in his admonition to women to submit to their husband, this injunction is given without consideration to the whole picture that Ephesians 5 was teaching on the subject of submission. Freeze said, and he is right, that there was a verse 21 before you could read verse 22. Verse 21 of that passage reads: “… submitting to one another out of reverence to Christ…” He then made the point that it is after couples have learnt to submit to each other, that a man can now begin to demand submission from his wife. Freeze said that the clamor by church people for wives to submit to their husbands, without regard to the responsibility of men in their homes, as demanded by Ephesians 5, has produced many a home where men have become tyrants in their houses. Freeze was saying in essence: no man can demand for a woman to submit to him who is not living uprightly before God. Freeze is right but at the same time Freeze is wrong, and I want to spend sometimes to shed some light on his errors.

First, Daddy Freeze would need to appreciate the fact that David Oyedepo was right in his statement: a Christian woman that would allow for Christ to reign in her home and enjoy his blessing must be totally submitted to her husband. This is the teaching of the scripture. Oyedepo, in spite of his heresies on the Prosperity Gospel, knows these truths because he has some orthodoxy in him that can be traced back to some old school Christianity that our nation had once known. There is however a generation today that are trying to redefine the place of women in the home and Daddy Freeze is one of their teachers. It is true that verse 21 comes before verse 22. But any careful Bible teacher will realize that the context of verse 15 to 21 of Ephesians 5 is totally different from verse 22 to 33. Modern Bibles even help readers to realize this division. The whole of Ephesians is a letter to a group of Christians in Ephesus. Therefore, rather than Paul writing to just one person, he is writing to a collective; he is writing to the church in Ephesus. In verse 15 to 21, Paul is admoniting Christians on how they ought to relate to each other. It is in this context he then ends his admonition with “submitting one to another”. Verse 22 is the beginning of an admonition to married persons in the church. And it is here we see the woman is to submit to her husband. It is also instructive that it is the woman that he admonished first; as if to say the success of your home is dependent on your submission to your husband.

Now Freeze explains that Oyedepo overlooked the context before 22. Incidentally, Freeze does the same thing. He overlooks the context after verse 22, which states unequivocally: “…so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands” (verse 24). The command to the wife is to submit in EVERYTHING. I believe everything is the same as “total” and Oyedepo is right in saying that the Christian woman should submit to her husband in totality.

Daddy Freeze also brings up the issue of women not submitting to men because the men are adulterous, not providing for their homes and rebellious. Freeze however overlooks a certain assumption in the writer’s mind: which is that the couples he was writing to were not unbelievers but Christian men and women. This presupposes the fact that when women will choose the men they wish to marry, they ought not to make choices in the flesh. They should not marry a man because he has a job, or a car, or he is wealthy. Christian women should marry Christian men, if they are going to have peace in their homes. A man who is committing adultery is not a Christian and most of the people who manifest these traits in marriage have been doing it long before they were married. Our sisters should first ascertain the fact that they themselves are believers and they must possess discernment to marry Christian men. In cases where the mistake has been made, the woman must bear her cross; while she trusts God in prayers.

Freeze brought up a last point. He said that there was one lady on Instagram who had a large following and was very wealthy. He said when this woman’s husband realized she had potential to make money, he resigned his job and became her camera man. The two of them are today enjoying the benefit of the woman’s success and wealth. Freeze said that most Nigerian men cannot do this; that they will be standing on “submit to me” and miss such opportunities.

My response to Freeze is simply this: the Bible commands Christians to obey it and to leave consequences to God. Financial prosperity is not proof that God is in something; if not, the very errors that we are condemning in David Oyedepo, where he gives the impressions that gain is godliness, is the very error Freeze is propagating too. God commands women to submit to their husbands. God commands men to love their wives. Every one of us will face God at judgement as regarding how well we kept his commandments. Women were not asked to submit to their husbands only when the husband loves them; neither are men asked to love their wives only when they submit to them. Everyone is expected to obey God and everyone will reap the fruit of their obedience in this life and in the life to come. The chief error I locate both in Daddy Freeze and even David Oyedepo is the tendency to just call down scriptures and their commandments on people, without paying attention to whether or not the people you are speaking to are Christians. Ephesians 5 was written to Christians. If the people reading it or preaching from it are not converted people, they will wrest the scripture for their own selfish ends.

Having made the point about Daddy Freeze’s errors, it is important we examine David Ibiyeomie’s words one more time. The man has received sufficient condemnation from Nigerians and I would not want to add to his woes. Suffice to say this: less than two years ago, a freelance journalist in Ibadan, Kemi Olunloyo, published some damaging stories on Ibiyeomie. Those stories concerned something around some alleged illicit relationships he had with some female Nigerian actress. Olunloyo had been given the story by an insider in Ibiyeomie church and she foolishly published them. One day, policemen stormed Ibadan all the way from Portharcourt and arrested Madam Kemi. She was driven all night to Rivers’ State; where she was slammed in detention. She would eventually endure an almost year long legal battle with her accusers. By the time she emerged from that ordeal, she had been thoroughly dealt with. The judge acquitted her but made it clear that she was not to talk about the matter to the press. This is the threat that Ibiyeomie issued to Daddy Freeze and ladies and gentlemen, this man has the financial powers to carry it out. Some Nigerian policemen are so compromised that chicken change can be thrown at them and they will gleefully persecute anyone that their sponsors send them to.

The other veiled threat was the threat to the life of Daddy Freeze. While Ibiyeomie’s words can be regarded as grandiloquent and bombastic grandstanding, they should not also be overlooked. Words take up a life of their own and a threat can very easily be carried out. I hope that beyond crying out on social media, Daddy Freeze will report this matter to law enforcement and the police will invite the pastor for talks.

He is just a Gentleman and a Simp, no jazz involved... Same as Ozo,. If Laycon and Ozo had invested their love and intelligence on sensible girls like Dorathy , TolaniBaj, Vee , Katrina or even crazy Kaisha it would had been a sweet romantic show... But they picked Erica and Nengi who were already over entitled, over priced , high budget escorts fronting as Actress and model


.

Nigerian youths are so tuned in with BBN but God forbid if you see Nigerian youths trying to actively engage and fight government with this same energy.

We can do a GoFundMe for someone we barely even know doing things that have literally no impact on our immediate lives but God forbid we GoFund some cause that challenges the various madness that we face as a people or help persons who are truly in need.

Shows how misplaced our priorities are as a people.

Anyway, I have long concluded that we as people deserve the type of country we live in and the kind of leadership we have.

Weezyclan:
OK she's consoling Erica. Btw Nigerians are still donating for erica gofundme, over $14,000 now

He who has not sinned let him cast the first stone.

Typical abandoning the message whilst attacking the messenger.

You do well

Liberate which country?
How do you want to go about it?
Is it by deliberately angering the Lifeless Sudanese until he pumps bullet into your chest?
Who told you Nigeria can be liberated?

Hi love

KristaPretty:
Everyone worship your God however you think suits you.

Primate sir, no need to forsee something that is already happening before our very own eyes.

You clearly no nothing about boxing but you know how to run your mouth very well.

Efe Ajagba is still a prospect, for him to have a chance he will need to come through the ranks and beat alot of very good fighters.

As for AJ running, WTF are you talking about? Again you know nothing about boxing. Go watch AJs fights and not just the last one alone. He had to stick and move around the ring with Ruiz because the fat mexican has fast hands. This was the tactic he should have resorted to in the first time they fought. You cannot knock everyone out, and if you can't it does not make you less of a fighter.

Why do you think Ali, widely regarded as the GOAT, was the stick and move kind of boxer? What differentiates a good from a great boxer is the ability to understand your strengths and use them to your advantage. AJ clearly still has a lot to learn but in my view he is the most exciting fighter to watch in this generation of very average fighters (and that includes him compared to the 60, 70, 80 and even 90s era boxers).

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright


Ogbeni nor reason am o
He fit still fall Anthony Joshua hand

He holds the record for the fastest victory in boxing history

Anthony Joshua way dey run up and down for inside ring
If nor be say Anthony Joshua na also our real niggarrr....I for talk many many things but make i rest...

True but let's call a spade a spade, it is not the job of the state government to fix that house. This repair work is the responsibility of the helicopter company and the insurance company assuming the chopper had insurance.

You may think I do not empathize with the grandma who owns that house, quite to the contrary I do. Infact if there were a go fundme page for her, I'd gladly donate. However, state funds should be allocated to projects that benefit the general public. I say this because only God knows how much they spent doing this small repair work. Lagos State has more pressing needs, bad roads everywhere. That should be the priority of the Governor.

Do not get me wrong, if it were Sanwo-olu's money from his own pocket, I have no issues but for the state government to resort to doing this in order to score cheap political capital, when there are more pressing issues within the state, really is beyond me.

Iamdemola:
You can say that again. He made good his promise. At least the old mama will be happy

Smh
There is something terribly wrong with the person behind this statement.

Rossinky:
No be una fault.

It is our federal govt that is even wasting time and stooping low to be exchanging letters with you.

By the time we sponsor rebel movements to destabilize your country and scatter that your ''peaceful society'', una eye go clear.

Tiny country feeling funky.

Sister, unfortunately I do not share the God part of your narrative. God has given us all that he can ever give us in terms of resources both material and human.

Infact I can imagine God being tired of us Nigerians simply because we do not wish to act yet we expect some type of meaningful change.

Me I have said it more than once, we all must act together and speak with one voice. But seeing as that is not possible, I have said it before that this madness you witness in our polity will never stop because the people do not have a means to hold their leadership accountable. So if Nigeria as is currently constituted is not working, will it not be best to split the bleeping thing let each go his/her own separate way. Atleast maybe some sanity will prevail in respect domains rather than this collective madness on crass display.

I stand to be corrected but in my view that's just how it is.

delpee:
Thanks for reminding me that OBJ started the project. Nothing much happened thereafter until the YarAdua/GEJ era though.

True that we have a long way to go. If we avoid wasteful spending and focus on major infrastructural projects, we'll move at a much faster pace. Over pricing is a key issue too. May God open our eyes to do the needful soonest.

Mr committee chairman, the country is broken already incase you have not been paying attention.

No thanks to the last 21 years of demoncraziness that basically handed over the looting keys from a bunch of blood thirsty military men to a bunch of civilians that know no better.

So sir, releasing the names of your pilfering colleagues in government will make no difference to the cesspit we are already in. As the popular Nigerian street saying goes, all die na die.

Sorry but what has the post got to do with Igbos and igbo business men?

IgboSomalia:
Good one. This is why Igbos must move being ordinary trading to become masters of business. Not just import and exports and trading. If it were an Igbo businessman, he would be busy shouting hatred and marginalisation instead of taking sensible steps to secure his interest.

I could not have coined it better.

Thank you for putting it so succinctly.

ajl:
I am not surprised at the level of chaos and disorder in Nigeria. This can only happen to people who have lost their sense of self, the very basis of their existence. The dearth of our traditional norms in the face of colonialism and modern day religions has got Nigerians to this point. Christianity or Islam is not strong enough to contain the excesses and weaknesses of our people.

Deacon of destruction.

Like NBA, Like Nigerians, Like Nigeria.

In our book, there is no acknowledgement of defeat.
In our book, there is no I'll lose now to win later.
In our book, there is no agree to disagree.

Only chaos and destruction. My way or the high way.
Everyone is ambitious, Everyone wants to lead, Everyone wants to win, Everyone wants to play God

And in so doing, we continue to be desperados.

bleeping paper tiger making empty threats.

Awon were (Mad people dem)

I laugh in hindi.

This is akin to telling the goat to stop eating that yam that it clearly likes to eat. You have placed the yam at a very close position to the goat.
Infact, you have even given the goat cutlery.

GboyegaD:
The country is getting too indebted. Going forward, the legislative arm should try to ensure no loans are applied for going forward. There's been so much borrowings with nothing to show for them.

You are a total idiot. So you think I am igbo because I criticise your comment. I encourage you to go through my previous posts. You are exactly one of the many symptoms of what has gone terribly wrong with this country.

It is somewhat obvious that the man in question means something to you. Perhaps he is your paymaster or your role model hence you do not see any reason in calling for him to be investigated over what is glaringly obvious.

Anyway, I have long concluded that a majority of Nigerians do not care for other Nigerians nor the land they call their home. By your two statements, you just provided additional premise from which I drew my conclusion. No surprises.

candidtalk:
No. You are the hypocrite. An unintelligent one to boot too. Which thieves are harmful the most in Nigerian politics? Those who steal the wealth of all Nigerians.

Loath Buruji Kashamu all you want but have the decency to leave the constituency he served as Senator call him out rather than you from Abia or Enugu be screaming foe his execution while you don't even know or care to know the name of your own Senator in far away ala Igbo.

Same for Tinubu. His political career is limited to his leadership of Lagos as her Governor. What is therefore respo sible for this lynch mob desperation for his blood by folks in Enugu, Abia, Imo, Anambra etal while federal thieves who looted the commonweath of all Nogeria are hardly mentioned?

Yorubas are not fooled. We know this is all a move to demarket and devalue Tinubu before the Nigerian electorate.

It wont work in so far as many intelligent Nigerians exist who see through the hypocrisy and know the attackers of Tinubu, like Omokri, are the same who support Atiku who stole $16 billion, with his boss OBJ, meant for power projects yet Nigeria did not gain even one megawatt of power for that huge splurge of cash.

Yoruba ronu and see this for what it is. A crude attempt to make Tinubu and Yorubas unelectable bogeymen ahead of the 2023 elections.

You are the real definition of the hypocrisy that thrives in Nigeria.

Unfortunately a majority of Nigerians are just like you.

Which is why the country is not moving forward anytime soon.

sbaks:
Politics Sha! Is he the only one that stole? or are they being sponsored too? Who is bankrolling them? Hypocrisy thrives in Nigeria.

A hoe is a hoe and that's how the thang goes.

Don't ask me, ask Snoop.

Will you atleast pretend to have a brain?

Not everything is political or about politics.

True the man is an ex-con and yes when his party was in power he never spoke about this.
But does it mean what he is saying is a lie? Is Nigeria's present structure not defective in every way, on every level?
If you doubt that, then you need to be confined in an insane asylum but if you truly want the country to be a better place for you and your generation to come then you will forget about the man for one second and heed his message.

Restructuring or splitting the country is the only way we all have a reasonable chance at surviving the future and that is a fact.

simpleseyi:
The ex convict is mad again

When Tinubu and Osinbajo were shouting Restructuring, you, Obasanjo, Goatluck, Hausa-Fulanis and Igbos ganged up against Tinubu and Osinbajo.

Now, that Tinubu and Osinbajo are enjoying the highly flawed structure, you have started convulsion.

The best way to judge any politician is by their past deeds, not by what other politicians say about them.

Simply look objectively at Mr Tinubu's 21 year rule of Lagos state and decide for yourself if, on the basis of his precedence, he is fit to be President.

Because I can tell you, his politics and policies on the Federal level will resemble those he has adopted and espoused in Lagos state.

This is not the first time this so-called shutdown maintenance has been carried out on this bridge yet immediately after it is opened the potholes and unlevelled portion of the roads are intact.

So I wonder what was maintained or repaired when entire sections of the bridge ought to be levelled and filled.

Wait let me guess, perhaps that is another future contract that has nothing to do with this one? Hahahahahaha, I can confidently bet that is the case. Nigeria Nigeria.

No sir, I reject your assertion.

Nigeria is a TV crime series, Season 1 to infinity.
It never ends.

Bigflamie:
Nigeria is just a crime scene

Fraud upon Fraud upon Fraud everywhere.

No need to wonder why we are where we are.

We are a fraud of a country. We were conceived to be used for fraudulent purposes by the British and till this very day we are still living up to our reputation, our name.

Nigger area a.k.a Nigeria, you spring no surprises on me no more.

As Yoruba people go talk, Alo rami rami.
