FreeStuffsNG: Initially they messed up. They messed up few points in getting him because the deceased had corrupt officers feeding his boys with privileged intel so they always fail to catch him.
It took persistence of the top cops on the case to eventually get him arrested. He never uses phone or internet or his real name or identity. It was even difficult to ger his picture or voice in the official archives, they only got one old audio recording of his voice in court when he was still down the ladder.
The politicians, business and Italian diplomatic/immigration community were equally not very helpful. The police eventually used the basic and cheapest way to get him; patriotism, patience and persistence. Kept eyes on his trusted aides and monitor every clinic that offer treatment for the cancer type they were searching for online. Awesome! That's the effect of pure intel where other criminal forensic strategies fail. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Sicilian Mafia: Matteo Denaro Dies At 61 by Konquest: 9:38am On Sep 25, 2023 |
FreeStuffsNG: That sickness was what really gave him away. His closest boys search for medical help online for him was tracked and monitored over a period to discover that he was likely down with cancer and the male patients visiting the clinics that offer that service monitored until he was arrested in the clinic.
He was already dying from the cancer and had in absentia been convicted of murder of especially the 12- year old boy son of a top Don who squealed on them all to the prosecutors (a film had been produced for the crime of the boy murder and dissolving the body in acid), his rival and 3-month old pregnant girlfriend so he really never faced the justice system to answer for all the multiple serious crimes alleged against him.
He would have been replaced in the hierarchy and his body may likely be released to them codedly.
The police made life so so difficult for him for the 30 years that he never had time, never married (unprecedented for a Boss of all Bosses) , he never had peace of mind and freedom to enjoy the wealth which the state may take over to compensate any or all of his alleged victims. For years, he kept changing locations,names, jobs and even lived underground! In all, his weakness remained georgeously beautiful tall blonde girls. Significant part of his wealth came from the wealth of his late Dad who was also a Don. He was the 4th of his late father's children.
At 61, he died sick, unhappy, lonely and stripped of his wealth, freedom and dignity. Ha!his pitiable sight when he was arrested showed how life itself can be vanity.
Those Italian police guys really made his life a living misery till the end and he did acknowledge them for their brilliant and patriotic job. Crime never pays. Check my signature for free stuffs! Damn! The body dissolution of that 12-year-old boy in acid... Khashogi style. |

That's how you all pass around propaganda and the media houses also latch unto those propaganda. True that... Thanks for emphasizing this. It is a shame that many of those who have relentlessly attacked this coastal road project on this NL thread are well-known male and female Ibo bigots. There is a proven digital trail for over 13 years now on NL of deliberate thread derailments, hate speeches and misinformation by these toxic, morally deficient and hateful creeps among the Ibos. Then they turn around and act like they are the victims, despite being the first to attack and spread pure lies. The level of blackmail of other Nigerian ethnicities by these irredentists and ethnic bigots is on record online and can be easily found via simple web searches going back to over 20 years ago on several secessionist and propaganda websites! It's time for the government to take these deliberate online defamation and hate speeches seriously and get these morally bankrupt people punished! I wish Sen. Dave Umeahi and his entire team success on the new integrated coastal road project and others to come. |

cococandy: He’s a grown man and supposedly the family leader. So in addition to the wife doing his duties and her duties, she needs to coddle him like an infant as well.
Does he not know the road to “the online”?
Imagine doing all that and still be blamed for not finding time between the multiple hours of business/ house work to teach him how to be a grown up  @Cococandy, you made some valid points there. That's why my prior post's emphasis was on the key word, "symbiosis." Based on the insightful books I have read over the years in my home library, it is clearly evident that many globally successful millionaire businessmen and moguls in autobiographies, biographies, etc, have affirmed the major roles their wives (spouses) played over the years in providing moral and financial support for them (the men) to gravitate towards financial success at critical turning points in their lives. Yes, a man has to be self-motivated, and not put much demands on his overworked woman or she could unravel, but the type of woman he get's married to would make or mar him. Hence it's vital for men and women to have emotional intelligence and work in sync with one another as a nuclear family. If you don't have these attributes, then don't get married. It's also not a crime to be unmarried as many have found inner peace that way. |

cococandy: Thank you.
You know, one time I paid $450 for a guy to give me a professional hair cut and coloring with a few wefts clipped in. Extra for the coloring and You still tip them. Young boy of around 23 years old. But of course he’s not Nigerian so it’s not beneath him to do hair.
My braider doesn’t charge less than $200 for any braiding hairstyle. Women come here see these opportunities and take them. some African men come and think it’s beneath them.
Then that woman is in the store all day trying to make money and he’s upset she comes back late probably because no one made dinner while she was hustling. If he hustled too, their income might be higher and they could both be home on time to take care of their kids.
Their story shows no signs of collaboration. No evidence of leadership on his part. He didn’t come up with a game plan to see how he can reduce the burden of breadwinning and home keeping (which I’m sure fell entirely on her) and that way they can have time to enjoy each other as a married couple. After-all what’s the point in marriage if you’re not enjoying your partner? He didn’t think of that. His initial "game plan" saw to it that his young family moved over to the U.S. from Nigeria. He then joined them later and got into some menial jobs before getting into Uber driving. The man deserves some credit for these. It would have been great if he had joined the U.S. Marines or any of the military arms earlier in age because of the opportunities for furthering ones education and career... and not the Nigerian Army, but then again that is in the past now. Tbh, the best his industrious late wife could have done is to have supported her man symbiotically by giving him useful business and investment info gleaned online and offline to elevate the family income, but she chose to treat him bad by keeping him away eventually from the house she bought... and a lot of men have a healthy ego. Trigger that "healthy ego" by relentlessly taunting a man to the extreme, and a blow-back or dire unintended consequences would take place due to the repeated embarrassments. She obviously didn't love him anymore after getting to see freedom and/or better male options in the U.S. Even if a woman wants to get gone, there are better ways of doing it for the sake of the kids through co-parenting and respect for one another. Period. |

culidea: In 1998, a 21 year old Nigerian soldier named Hassan Adeyemo from Ibadan met and fell in love with an 18 year-old beautiful Hausa girl from Bauchi called Sarah. It was love at first sight.
They got married in 1999 and God blessed them with a beautiful daughter in 2000. After her, they had two other daughters and one boy, making 4 kids. Hassan loved his wife so much and told her not to work because of stress. He was providing everything she ever wanted for her and the kids…
In 2014, Hassan wanted a better life for his family, so with his wife’s agreement, he decided to send them to the U.S. Sarah and the kids entered the United States in 2014. Before they got there, Hassan already arranged a rented house and a car for them. Sarah wasn’t working, Hassan was sending big money to them for upkeep from Nigeria every month. Despite the distance, Hassan bonded with his wife and kids. Everyone was happy.
In 2017, Hassan, who had missed his family so much, decided to relocate to America and stay with them.
Before Hassan got to America, Sarah had started hair braiding just to keep herself busy when the kids were in school. Everyone loved her and the way she braided beautiful styles. Gradually, she became a household name in Orlando, Florida. Ladies flooded her to do their hair.
The unfortunate victims of the tragedy What she was doing for fun became something big overnight. Hassan entered the US, and things were going smoothly. Hassan who was a big man in Nigeria, left everything and came to America to start all over with menial jobs. He had no papers yet, so he was doing jobs that paid him peanuts.
God blessed them with a baby boy in 2018, making their children a total of 5. Sarah was making at least 1,000 a day with the help of her daughters who she had trained. She was very fast and efficient in braiding. With this income, she was able to support the family with all expenses because Hassan’s income couldn’t meet up with the expenses/bills.
Hassan got his papers and started Uber and delivery jobs. He worked from day to night and started contributing his quota to the family, but his contributions was like change to his wife Sarah, was making. In effect, Sarah became the breadwinner of the house.
Issues started because Sarah was always complaining that Hassan couldn’t afford her lifestyle. She became the children’s favorite because she gave them everything they asked for, while their dad could not meet up. Sarah entered the house whenever she wished. She became the boss, always calling Hassan lazy and useless, while Hassan always appealed to her for peace to reign.
Hassan, a gentleman didn’t like trouble in any form. Sarah and the children formed their own group in the house, and abandoned their dad to always sort himself out. Sarah stopped cooking for him.
Hassan became depressed and was always begging friends and family members to help talk to his wife. Hassan was always crying like a baby, saying Sarah made him feel less of a man in the house. His friends encouraged him to persevere and ignore whatever she did.
In January 2022, Sarah announced to Hassan that she had bought a house. They moved into the new house, and she continued to treat him very badly. She disrespected him so much, “Leave my house if you cannot obey me, you irresponsible man,” she would often say.
She locked him out in the cold so many times and threw his things out. The children were on their mother’s side because she was the provider. Hassan became very depressed, and started having suicidal thoughts. He told his friends how life is unfair, and that he would kill himself. They advised him to leave the marriage because it was obvious that his wife was no longer in love with him, but he kept on asking, “Where will I start from? I love my wife. A woman I have invested all my life in. The only woman I ever loved. What did I do to deserve this from her?”
April 2023, Sarah told him she had bought another house that this particular house is specifically for her and her customers. She told Hassan to hold onto the boys while the girls followed her to the new house. Hassan was like, ” Why do you want to separate the family?” She said, “If everyone followed her to the new house, it will disturb my customers. She then told the husband that he could bring the boys over for weekends, but he can’t come with them, “because I need my privacy.” People tried to talk to Sarah, but she wouldn’t listen. Hassan agreed, hoping that his wife will change her mind.
On August 21, 2023, Sarah informed Hassan that she would like for her sons to move in with her, while Hassan remains in the old house. She instructed Hassan to move all of her remaining property, and that of the children from the old house where Hassan was staying to the new one, where she lives.
She then told Hassan that whenever he wished to see the children, he should let her know, so she can arrange for the visits. So, Hassan told her he would do as she had instructed, and take the remaining property of hers to the house on Friday night, which he did. Sarah didn’t let him enter the house. She took all the belongings he brought and the boys and left Hassan outside. Hassan remained at the door for almost an hour knocking, Sarah refused to open the door for him.
The following day, August 26, was Hassan’s 46th birthday. Early that morning, Sarah sent him a message, “Happy Birthday friend, we are better off as friends than lovers.” “You need to look for where you’ll be staying, because I have to get rid of the old house. I wish you well in life, I have moved on.” A few hours later, the children called their dad to get some groceries, and he told them he would bring them in the evening. At about 6:30 PM, he called the kids, that he was on his way to the house with the groceries. When he got there, he knocked, and the children opened the door for him.
Hassan then asked for their mom, they told him he was in the shower. He entered, and went to the bathroom, brought out a gun, and shot her in the head, in the chest, and in the leg. He then called 911, “Hello, I just killed the bitch.” This is the address, I am waiting for you.” He sat down on the floor beside Sarah’s body.
The cops came, and the first responders rushed Sarah to the hospital, she was still breathing. She died two hours after she got to the hospital. Mr. Adeyemo is now at the Orange County Jail in Florida. He is most likely facing a death sentence or life in prison without parole. What a massive conundrum. |

Racoon: Guinean Interim President Defends Coups In Africa, Says Real Coup Plotters Are Sit-tight Leaders Who Manipulate Constitutions To ‘Stay In Power Eternally
https://saharareporters.com/2023/09/22/guinean-interim-president-defends-coups-africa-says-real-coup-plotters-are-sit-tight The last two bolded article paragraphs say a lot about the highly indisciplined, criminal military interventions and the loss of a large swathe of territories to the terrorists in Mali and a high rate of economic regression in Burkina Faso. Military rule in many countries in the past always triggered massive corruption. Even the spartan and iconic Thomas Sankara [who I admired when he was the Head-of-State, and for his close friendship and visits to the African Shrine, Lagos back in the 1980s to see Fela Anikulapo-Kuti] had envious, greedy, and itchy-fingered military guys around him who eventually assasinated him and took over power for themselves as exemplified by the corrupt Blaise Campaore and his army of collaborators. |
Politics › Re: Yoruba Apex Group Strips Obasanjo Of All Chieftaincy Titles by Konquest: 9:39pm On Sep 23, 2023 |
lexylaw09: Obasanjo and his father (The Obi of onitsha ) Alleged father, which OBJ had strongly debunked as false. They look alike though. I could have sworn they are direct relatives. Onitsha indigenes according to the current Obi of Onitsha in the late 2010s have Bini, Igala, and Ibo ancestries including his own ancestors. He also said it was the Igala boat people that took his ancestors who migrated from the Edo area across the River Niger to settle in the Onitsha area 500 years ago. The Igalas have significant Yoruba ancestries too mixed along with migrants from the Wukari (Jukunoid) area, and Edo, and to a lesser extent Ibos, etc, according to the late Attah of Igala Michael Ameh Oboni in a 2016 Saturday Punch interview. He even stated in that interview that the Ifa oracle is consulted before a new Attah becomes a king. Igala language is classified as Yoruboid because of the many Yoruba words in it which even found their way through the Igalas into Ibo lexicon as loan words via Northern Anambra and Northern Enugu axis within the last 500 years. Words like Ogede (plantain), Akuko (cock), Iba (fever), Ewure (Ewu in Ibo), Ifa (Ifa is known worldwide as the Yoruba religion, but is called "Afa" by the Nri who had links with Igalas), Enu (Onu in Ibo), Okuta (Okwute in Ibo), Omi (Mmiri in Ibo), etc, are purely of Yoruba origin, and through Igala migration and settlement, trade, or military conquest got into today's Northern Anambra and Northern Enugu. My point is that a lot of mixing of bloodlines, ethnicities, and trade around the border areas happened in the last 500 or more years, so distant relatives in the family tree exist in other ethnicities as well, hence the Doppelganger effect showed by OBJ and the late Obi of Onitsha Ado N'Idu. My theory though. |
Politics › Re: Yoruba Apex Group Strips Obasanjo Of All Chieftaincy Titles by Konquest: 8:09pm On Sep 23, 2023 |
clearcrystal: Obasanjo is not a full Yoruba, his father is a police officer from Anambra who impregnate his mother from Owu, in Ogun state.
The mother kept the identity of his father just to avoid shame and embarrassment.
This is why he's never happy despite his fame and wealth. OBJ long denied that story that he is the son of the policeman who later became an Obi of Onitsha. He said in his strong rebutal that he is a proper Owu man who was given Owu facial marks at birth. Although both men have an uncanny resemblance though. The Doppelganger effect. |

alanto: If you are blessed with culture like the Yorubas Simon Ekpa will not be destabilizing your villages from far away Finland. Respect in life is everything, that's one thing you guys lack naturally.
Respect for elders is the reason why Yorubaland is peaceful. You saw what happened when Sunday igboho tried to insult the Ooni.
We respect elders, regard parents as deities, kings as the mouthpiece of the gods and God as the supreme. Such tradition will flourish naturally.
Imagine a place where you naked, mutilate and murder your kings and then use their heads to kick soccer. Such environment can't prosper, you are pissing your gods off and shitttting on your ancestors... Because the Almighty God endorse kingship and our local traditions uphold these belief that's why you guys need culture and tradition, like every other society. It's what's keeping Edo peaceful. |

lawani: Of course it will help if each LG is mandated to generate power at all cost and they can do it with corporate assistance and those companies will benefit but not 10MW per LG since some LGs have population more than sovereign nations. Once generated, distribution would be simple Indeed. Lagos State is a case study here with several biogas pilot projects in Mile 12 market, Kirikiri correctional centre, etc, but no major desire to upgrade or scale up for community electrification and cooking. If scaling up is done right, municipal organic wastes would dissapear from where they are usually dumped in high density areas in the various LGAs and states. |

Xbobtage: well.well Since my last post, you have all gotten poorer by more than half. Regardless of what industry you are domiciled in within the nigerian economy. I POSTED SO MANY WARNINGS HERE PRIOR TO THE ELECTION, BUT HOW DO YOU REDEEM A NATION ON A CLEAR SUICIDAL PATH? Read to the end, I will profer my perceived worse case scenarios and perceived solutions to this quagmire we find ourselves in.
Mr, Wales theory of only 6.8 Billion dollars needed is purely subjective. Even if that money is put in the foreign exchange market now, a new deficit will be created in a mere couple of months and we will be right back in the same position.
I have been tracking tracking economies, foreign exchange rate, global policies and Gdp growth for over 20 years now, ONE key thing needed in stability of foreign exchange rate is Perception. Perception itself has even surpassed ;local production in in terms of factors that determine foreign exchange rate since the advent of smart phones and information on the go.
We are a nation of Big Tribes and many smalls ones, Decades ago those in power figured out we have to balance the egos of these three big tribes to have a balanced political, economical and even social environment, The APC regime came in and completely threw us into this satanic tribalistic territory where igbo hating is a policy and igbo marginalization is barefaced, and we are all going to suffer for it. Here is why
The igbo/igboid people are a majority in nigeria, and might be even more than the yorubas, we can not say for sure without a proper census. (I noticed on wiki the yorubas have gone on to increase their population percent to 20 percent and left the igbo one at 18 percent. although both tribes were listed at 17 percent just three years ago). What we now know for a fact is that the igbos and their sympathizers do have the largest online presence in nigeria, we can tell from the Peter Obi online polls and how he always won with over 80 percent regardless of how it was framed.
If you have these group of aggrieved nigerians on every social platform bashing and dissing nigeria, there is no way our economy or currency can survive that.
My people we have now dived into this electric pond, these is no easy way out. The easiest path would have been allowing an igbo person become president this time when it was rightfully their turn, so than we as can country can heal and build the sense of nationalism that every nationhood needs to survive and build anything on in the long run.
Northerners were ok with the rotation of power to the south, But NO some south westerners refused, they hijacked the election and took the country into this highspeed train off a cliff and that is where we are now. Besides the perception the guy who was elected is someone who has a, should I say God complex or dictatorial complex and that really compounds the situation, a man who felt too big to attend a debate, give an interview and was nominating people to answer a question that was asked to him is a person who believes he is above all and sundry and does not care about the feelings of the masses, and thats the kind of person who would go on to devalue the extremely sensitive naira and remove subsidy at the same time, without meticulously bringing everything to understand how we got here, close up corrupt lose ends on both sectors before making a policy change. Those of you who voted for the man knew exactly what he was, how are your lives now? It doesnt matter how rich you are as nigerian, you are definitely getting fxcked over and bleeding money if you have nigeria as your main source of income. Not unless you are a corrupt politician.
Anyways, our next stop in devaluation is 1500, but honestly there appears to be no end to where we are going because thing with this type of devaluation comes fear and with every deeper devaluation comes an even deeper fear and uncertainty with fuels the next devaluation. And where we are heading to venezuelan and zimbabwean levels of devaluation which brings absolute chaos and crime at extreme levels never before seen, nobody drives a nice car or lives in a nice house would feel safe.
Here are some of my perceived solutions. As much as we all know they would hate, the APC government should be trying to pacify the igbo people by balancing their appointments, an igbo guy should have been Senate president, massage the egos of these people we need them to believe we are in this together. Disown and fire any member of government who makes any perceived hate speech against igbos or pretty much any other tribe, and possible people who make this their means of staying relevant, I mean tribal jingoist like FFK and Omokri. I honestly doubt that this would ease the tribal tension we have now in the country but its not a bad start. Because I see the igbos are being haunted by all these extreme tribalist statements from government officials, for example you can how the judges at the judges at the PEPT sounded, you can clearly hear the words from apc online trolls right from their mouth, Absolutely shocking. Honestly i think pacifying the igbo people at this point may not work, Too much harm has been done, maybe in 4 years tinubu should step aside and let and igbo person take over, but at that point this country would be far too gone in the wilderness.
Option 2 is bend over ass cheeks open and let the french have their way, sign the agreement for ECO to be used as the single currency for ecowas backed by the french and the Euro, they have always wanted to have under their belt and are partly to be blamed for the political and currency crisis we find ourselves in.. But we are now in desperate moments and desperate measures are needed.
Option 3 is dollarized the economy. Dollar should be accepted as a means for payment in all sectors and all forms of trading. That is itself is another decision that comes with its own upper cuts.
Shalom! This is largely a very asinine post without internal structure... and it has a lot of economic falsehoods and pure Ibo ethnic bigotry in it. Period. |

VBCampaign: When a Son Should not Succeed a Father
By: Deji Yesufu
Charles Haddon Spurgeon is the most recent ancestor for all of us who hold profession to the Reformed Baptist faith. When Spurgeon began to pastor the New Park Street Chapel (later named London Metropolitan Tabernacle) in 1856, one of the first things he did was to introduce the 1689 London Baptist Confessions to his congregation. Spurgeon understood the liberal bent that English Christianity was about to take, and he positioned his congregation to battle the enemy headlong. Spurgeon was, however, not always successful in everything he sought to do ministry-wise.
For example, he wanted his son, Thomas, to succeed him in the pulpit ministry at the Tabernacle. Thomas, however, had other plans. Thomas felt called a missionary to foreign lands. It is said that this troubled the great Prince of Preachers. When Spurgeon died in 1892, his pulpit was taken over by Authur Tappan Pierson. A year later, the Tabernacle inaugurated Thomas as minister at the church his father used to Pastor. The church convinced Thomas to take up the mantle the father left behind. They understood enough the pressing desires of the great Spurgeon and that the young man, Thomas, had earned the right to succeed his father.
On the 7th of August, 2023, Taiwo Odukoya, Pastor of Fountain of Life Church, with headquarters at Ilupeju, Lagos, died in far away United Kingdom. He was aged 67 years old. Taiwo Odukoya had lost his well known wife and preacher, Bimbo Odukoya, in 2005 to the ill fated Sossoliso flight that year. Prior to her death, she was known as a charismatic preacher, a motivational speaker and one of the leading female preachers in Nigeria. Taiwo and Bimbo had a son, Jimmy, before their deaths. Jimmy Odukoya is the subject of our discussion today. Jimmy Odukoya has been proclaimed the worthy successor to his parent’s legacy as founders and pastors of Fountain of Life Church.
The trouble is not with his succession; the trouble is with the hues and cries that have greeted this announcement. People in churches are worried with the reality they are faced with: it appears that church work has essentially become family business in Nigeria. People invest time, talent and treasure in church, and then watch as they are bypassed at the death of the founder, while children that know little or nothing about the church are announced successors. In this article, I want to suggest when it is ideal for a son to succeed a father. And when it is not.
Naturally speaking, where all things are the way they should be, children should succeed their parents in a family’s line of work. Biblically speaking, the Hebrew were herdsmen that took this line of business from Abraham. The Aaronic priesthood passed through the sons of Aaron. Just as God honoured the Davidic line of royal succession, so that one day, the Son of David, Jesus Christ, will rule the nations. If a father carries out a work with integrity and professionalism, a son would have long learnt the spirit of that work before even venturing into the meat of it. So that by the time the father is old and passing, the son would have long taken over. We saw this in the life of the late Queen of England. For years, Charles had taken over most of his mother’s duties. So that at her death, he just took over the running of the monarchy – seamlessly.
There is however a few reasons why things are a bit different with the Odukoyas. The number one reason concerns the spirit and life of the Pentecostal/Word of Faith religion. At the heart of this religion is not service to God but service to self. Those of us who have observed this religion have seen how the consistent testimony from within her ranks is self-promotion, success, self-preservation, self exaltation, and personality cults. So that the almost universal certainty is that the moment the founder dies, the wife succeeds him. Or, the moment husband and wife are no more, the son is the natural successor. It doesn’t matter even if the son was known more in the entertainment circles than in ministry life.
Again, the problem is not with Jimmy taking over his father’s work; the problem is with the spirit of the father’s work in the first place. If these churches had been known as places where the poor is catered for; where the sick have found shelter; where the gospel is preached and sinners are converted; and where the leaders are living sacrificial lives, no one will say anything. They will understand that Jimmy is coming to serve and not to enrich himself. At the death of Spurgeon, the church was housing the largest Christian gathering in the world. Thomas Spurgeon understood the immense responsibility he would be getting into, and the natural tendency was to shrug it off. When ministry becomes an inheritance, rather than service, people have a right to complain.
My son, Iseoluwa, will be ten years old next month. Last Sunday, after church, I commented to a few people that I look forward to him learning theology and becoming a preacher like me. But my son will not be succeeding me as pastor of Providence Reformed Baptist Church, Ibadan. If he must, my son would have to receive a call from God to serve Him in Christian ministry. Then he would have to learn theology and become personally convinced of the Reformed Baptist faith. Following that, my son would have been serving in the local church in various positions. And if at my retirement or death, the church appoints him my successor, to God be all the glory. In the natural, because I see how much sacrifice true ministry comes with and how little money one makes, I’ll be sending my child to school to become a consummate professional in the field of medicine, law or engineering. If while serving there, God calls him to ministry, that will be between him and God.
Sons can succeed their fathers in business, and usually this is how it should be. There is however too many things wrong with the Pentecostal/Word of Faith religion that lends people towards suspecting her of foul play every time they make the headlines. No one can say for sure whether it is right or wrong for Jimmy to succeed his father in ministry. The heart motivation of all parties involved in this matter alone will justify the decision. But because the Pentecostal/Word of Faith religion is almost always self serving, people have a reason to be suspicious of every action taken within these churches.

tensazangetsu20: Yeah. In Chile blacks have a bad reputation as the first set of blacks to come here were from Haiti. Unless you tell them when you meet a Chilean as a black man they assume you are from Haiti and those who speak a little bit of french will try to speak french to you. Haitians have a very bad reputation here so it's best to let them know immediately they see you that you aren't from Haiti if not  Oh, that's curious! So, Chile had no plantation slavery of any kind before the arrival of the Haitian immigrants. |
