Kairoseki77: ,

Are you a learner?
I am not being mean, I am genuinely curious.

I just have honestly never heard anyone string sentences together and still make so little sense.

In every country on the planet you must register as a resident of the state in which you reside. There is nothing "indigenous" about it. This is not your tribal census.

You utilize the resources of the state in which you reside. (So you must pay taxes) Are you planning on not paying taxes to give back to the state that provides for you? If so, please leave immediately. You are a deadbeat and will not be welcome anywhere on Earth, not even in your brother's house.

In the US, for example, your only form of identification is your STATE ID. You car, has a STATE license plate. You pay local, STATE, and federal taxes. You vote in your STATE elections, and even get a voter card issued by your STATE dept of elections. The reasons for this are endless.

Who told you that you must carry additional residency cards? You have ONE ID. That is for the state where you reside. Reside is a word that means where you live. Do you live in Lagos? Then you will need a RESIDEncy card. Are you visiting Lagos? Then you do not need one. No one should need to explain this to you.

Move to another state? Guess what! You go get a new residency card. Do you own more than one house? Then you pick a PRIMARY RESIDENCE, and register only in that state. None of this is complex.

We are not savages living in an endless jungle, like they must do in your village. Roaming like pack animals with no fixed address. You get a donkey for that one.

To have a functioning society people must have addresses, ID cards, and pay taxes. None of that exists in Nigeria, but it exists in Lagos State. If you can't handle being a big boy, pack your bags and go hug a lion.

Eko oni baje o. Fools will never slow down progress. On the contrary, we must provide for the disabled.


The level of confidence that you used to spout something so utterly daft is shocking. I am ashamed for you, your mother, your father, your forefathers, and your teachers (if you have had any).

Mustay: Lol Tope Alabi!

Until there's a perpetual injuction, I won't celebrate. I don't understand why our fellow citizens are very inconsiderate. Methinks Nigerians themselves have not put enough pressure on their representatives in the House to stop this nonsense just the way they were so passionate about #childMarriage ish.

Yesterday when Osita Chidoka was speaking, it was very evident that the licensing was something they didn't test-run before launching. They are using Nigerians to be doing 'I.T. projects' and making us pay for such inconveniences and lapses that is none of their business.

Yeah, he says they want to have a record and database. He says the security feature can be seen with laser but why FORCE everyone to change

If this trend isn't curbed, Nigerians would continue paying:
FRSC Licences
Yellow Card renewal
Police BCMR. . .am waiting for the next one.

Baybe: Exhibit the qualities Christ exhibited while on earth. It's not only about going to church. Some cultists/ritualists seat on the front pew in church.

mesutiyke: They neva see anytin, u wll see a lady of 35yrs she wll be selecting a man whn she has no option. They alwys wht their man 2 be cute, handsome nd rich. They want d most wonderful wedding in town. Most of dem ar rich, y nt use dat ur moni nd uplift an average man who cn marry u. Una neva wan marry..

Kirinwa: As a caring nairalander,my advice to our single sisters is treat any man who approaches you nicely and respectfully.
Guys can you imagine approaching a lady to say hi and she's looking at you like you're ALIEN!Jeez.Some of them are architects of their own misfortune.I have discovered most times ladies hang out with playboys and sacrifice the future for a few meatpies or fried chicken while ignoring more serious guys who they consider boring without even giving them a chance.

Samoo01: ‘‘The state government said the decision was taken in its determination to ensure adequate monitoring of commuter bus operators as reagrds (sic) compliance with traffic rules and regulations.’’


So Lagos State needs to eradicate the remaining few dozens of 'Molue' that has been facing sustained attrition by Fashola's administration or the ‘‘adequate monitoring’’ of hundreds of thousands of vehicles plying Lagos roads daily will be in jeopardy? You can't make this stuff up.


Granted, ‘‘Molue’’ has become too haggard for this age and its carbon footprint being its Archiles heel, it, however, hasn't outlived its usefulness; the great unwashed still use the ugly Benz to commute themselves due to its affordability and uproariousity.


Why ban it from plying Iyana-Ipaja (the same road that heavy duty trucks ply) if it can ply Agege? And why did the reporter find it superfluous to get reactions from 'Molue' unionists?


I've never entered a 'Molue' before but I've been wondering how no one is upgrading this low budget means of transportation in an increasingly unaffordable Lagos.

The convoluted atmosphere that has become increasingly emblematic of Fashola's administration is the APC echo chamber cocooning.


Just when you think life can't get worse for Lagos proles, Fashola stifles it further with yet another Soviet-esque ukase.


As egregious as the PDP has been for us, Fashola's Lagos is a forlorn harbinger of what Nigerians will go through should APC get the mandate to man Aso-Rock. Alas, there's no alternative to PDP and APC. Nigerians are in for a bumpy ride. Pathetic, really.

Exponental: Empowering BRT/Lagbus.........
But I thought they said that wat is good for d goose is good for d gander

DJDOLA: I thought molue as been ban before nah...very soon dem go ban people wey no wear fine cloth for lagos road all because of mega city

touchmeder: Rubbish i saw the damn video out of curiosity and no curse rests anywhere close to me because i know who i am in Christ.
Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law please see Galatians 3:13

''Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:''

So i watched some bits of the video and kept laughing so hard at times but at other times i felt truly sorry for my country men and women. I didnt know about this church only heard of it today just like COZA church too but i am going to say the same thing. Please know Jesus Christ for yourself. 2 Timothy 2:15 says

''Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.''

Don't be moved by every wind and manner of doctrine. If you are truly a child of God with knowledge of the bible, you will test spirts and be able to detect what stinks a mile away. I am not an overly spiritual person but i trust God and read my bible fairly well. I have been to seemingly good churches worshiped there but didn't return because it didn't click with my spirit. Study the bible yourself and don't be intimidated by men of God.Respect them but know they are mere men whom God has chosen to lead his flock IN SOME CASES. You are the bride of Christ, don't undermine yourself.
There are way tooooooooooooooooo many stories of fake men of God, money loving bishops and daddy in the lord, fake miracles, churches being run like business empires passed on from the late bishop to the wife then the first son never leaving the family. LOL
Please let me not talk too much cos i know them crawlers will begin to scream and ask me not to judge[i][/i]. PLEASE DONT EVEN BOTHER.

frosbel: When you follow MEN instead of JESUS you will be deceived , when you go to a CULT instead of belonging to the church of Christ you will be deceived, when you worship ordinary MEN like you ,who are made of dust , you will be deceived,when you refuse to read your bible with the wisdom of GOD and instead hold on to the words of men , you will be deceived.

People , come out of these apostate false cults, come and know the real Jesus.

These false prophets have broken many homes, families, stolen money from the poor and widows, they are not of GOD, run now , run away from them.

Nigerian Christians, God gave you a brain, use it.

3ace: Although LAGBUS currently lacks good maintenance culture, that might not be the reason for the brake failure. Sudden brake
failure in well maintained cars is possible too. The only blame I may apportion to the driver is that he probably must have been feeling the symptoms but still decided to take the risk although there may not be warning signs in some cases. Brakes operate on a hydraulic system; for the system to work effectively there must be fluid in the hydraulic pipes. If the fluid
starts to leak from the system the brake
pedal will feel 'softer' and will often travel
further when pressed. Only God knows whether there were initial signs in this case or it just happened suddenly.

chagga: Ogunjimi James Taiwo: In defence of Ese Walters: Memo to religious addicts

By Ogunjimi James Taiwo on August 25, 2013

“You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.” – Malcolm X

“Let hundreds like me perish, but let truth prevail. Let us not reduce the standards of truth even by a hair’s breadth for judging erring mortals like myself.” – Mahatma Gandhi

At the risk of being labelled a heretic and apostate by die-hard religious people who refused to believe that human beings are fallible regardless of their ‘spiritual’ stature, I have decided to give my opinion on this burning issue.

You see, like so many issues that we have in Nigeria, the issue of religion has perhaps shown over time that we are still immature when it comes to handling issues. We tend to neglect so many rules and embrace deliberate lies. The first rule every human must understand is: Trust no one. The Bible itself gave us that rule in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

The Ese Walters issue has brought into light what many young women that have trudged into some of these new generation churches have been passing through in silence. The reactions that trailed Ese’s revelations are perhaps part of the reasons why these ladies have elected to keep quiet rather that face ridicule and open themselves up to scorn in the society.



I put it forward that some of the statements that Ese attributed to the COZA pastor are statements that cannot be denied by people who have spent their lives in churches and close to church leaders. I grew up in a pentecostal church where you get to listen to some of these statements; whether jokingly or not.

Most of those attacking Ese know this is the truth. Come to most of the churches on campus that have only student pastors without adult supervision and you’ll see and hear more than that. Some of the things that happen are too raw to even utter.

Over time, when pastors commit adultery and have affairs, their church members have always been quick to term the lady involved as an ‘agent’ of darkness sent to pull down the pastor. The pastor hides under that garb and gets away with sin while the lady involved is stigmatised forever.

These issues of sexual abuse are issues that bodies such as CAN and PFN must begin to address instead of concerning themselves with political issues. Recently, the Cameroon government ordered the closure of all pentecostal churches there because of their excesses and unacceptable acts. If these acts continue, Nigerian pentecostal churches must get ready to be shut down too and woe betide anyone who claims its persecution because even God must be disgusted with the way we practice religion.

As for Ese, my sympathies are with her and with the myriad of ladies who have suffered similar things and have had to keep quiet because of societal responses. As for the COZA pastor, let’s see you respond to the latest revelation by Franca. Thank God Franca has audio and pictorial evidences.

myOGAonTOP: Leave the sacred things of God for God! I beg all you.
2 samuel 6 : 1 - 7 is a perfect case study of someone who was trying to 'help' God out and stabilise His temple.
An ordained man of will ALWAYS have God's attention no matter what. His sins are only subject to God's judgement and reprimand . No other is allowed to venture into it.
In the case of moses as the OP cited;
1. Miriam was older than moses. She nursed him.
2. She was a prophetess well versed in spiritual matters.
3. She was 'right' in her assessment of the issue. Moses was wrong.
Yet.......i always shy away from such dicey issue because Yaweh is sovereighn and at such no man is qualified to do His duty for Him i.e passing judgement on someone He called to serve. Pls be guided so as not to provoke .......

Chinwem: He's just a small boy, why are they pulling him like that
If Nigeria was a country, social services would investigate the circumstances that made him run away from home and endanger his life in this manner And put him in foster care if needed. Like I said this would only happen in a 'country' not Nigeria .But sadly, what do we have here? A media frenzy around a frightened teenager who is probably going to get the beating of his life back at home . Free the poor boy jare.......he deserves an award and a hot meal for outsmarting so called security and surviving the grueling flight

poppop: I laugh,one or two people said this man's hand was not clean when his death was first announced. Well i don't know him personally the first i heard of him was months ago concerning the Tokpe matter. I even had to Google the said Tokpe as i never heard of her as well.


Why am i saying all this? Examine your life brother and sister. Pastor this, pastor that, pastor this, pastor that
you can only speak for yourself and continually look to Jesus as your mentor and yardstick not any MOG
some of these so called pastors in Nigeria are just business men and women
their church remains a charade

kingthreat: Everybody has weaknesses they are dealing with. Some its drugs, fornication, drinking, adultery, masturbation, etc. But to expose someone's weaknesses to make him seem evil is very wicked of you. Just wanted to remind you Ese Walter that as much as the pastor is a hypocrite, adulterer, etc. You are also a LovePeddler, an adultress, blackmailer and a hypocrite too. Enjoy the fame in pulling people down. Your christianity is no better than you hype yourself to be.

nbright: When I said the way Pastors behave nowadays is frightenin... People were looking at me as if I don't know what I was talking.. Instead of the Lagos branch pastor to act, he was just trying to cover up his colleague in the trade.. Pastors!.. After girls, pastors comes next when I want to categorise liars..

(Disclamer: Not all Pastors are liar or cheat... But how are we to know who is right and wrong?) wouldn't it be better to just avoid attending churches entirely?

Bishop TT: Suddenly, Pastors are now responsible for everything bad. Gone are those days when pastors were what we all wanted them to be...Poor!!! People we could push around and give peanuts to survive after which they would pray their tongue out in appreciation for whatever we give them (Same style as beggars). We were all comfortable with that and to us that was the way a true pastors should be. No one comes on the media to insult them because they weren't even worth the attention!

To our surprise, things have changed and we are so uncomfortable with the change!

People have taken this so far that they even accuse pastors of not building roads and providing free tertiary education. Pastor Adeboye for example should feed over 1 million member of the RCCG and Bishop Oyedepo should accept all Winners children into covenant free of charge.

Pastors should now take over the responsibilities of Federal Government and provide jobs. Very soon we will blame them for the poor state of the economy and accuse them for the downslide in the value of naira!!!

Its funny now that just anyone who can afford to pay for 30 min internet access in a cafe could just come up and Ridicule Adeboye or Olukoya, the two men who were PhDs before they started Ministry.

We all suddenly become God and pass judgement on pastors. If you are not happy with the way they spend your tithe...the easy thing to do is to stop paying it to them and watch if they would become poorer because of that.

A lot of folks who talk about pastors have never stepped into their churches...

Why not leave this men alone...are you not tired of ranting without impact?

It is true that some men of God misappropriates church's fund....but ranting on the internet would not change anything.

Oyedepo bought is first Private jet in 1996...the press wouldn't let us rest. Today he has four of those. he started his first university in 2002...same noise, today he has started another one. Cant you see that your ranting isn't changing anything

I'm not a pastor neither do i receive tithes...But ever since i started paying tithe to God through those 'thieves' my finances have been better for it. If they like they should use my tithe to acquire more jets or fuel the existing ones. Let God be the judge..

If every prominent pastor in Nigeria is bad, then which pastor is good?? As bad as they are, the president goes to bow before them...As bad as they are, their schools are among the bests in the country...As bad as they are people wont stop trooping to them for their spiritual needs...If Adeboye is able to convince 1 Million people (including the elites)that gather at lagos ibadan express way monthly....then give him some respect! i'm not saying he doesn't have his faults.

Oyedepo, i guess has written more books than any Nigerian university professor....i think he deserve some respect too.



Thank you Bishop TT.
So pastors are free to do whatever they like with the tithes paid to their churhes and still not get distracted?
Whatever happens to the Bible's admonition to be on guard against being ensnared by the DECEPTIVE POWER of riches?
Are "pastors" not getting carried away by the same worldly things they have consistently preached against as being destined for destruction in the 80's? Not suprised though. Birds of same feather...
Do you still remember the Akingbolas of this world?... PASTORS

We understand it is your constituency. You can hardly find fault with them so long you belong there.

If your finace is better because you pay your tithes to whoever, is Alh. Folawiyo and Alh. Dangote also paying tithes to some pastors Are there no reward for hard work any longer?

Jesus had said it all. Those who will perish will definitely perish no matter what is preached.
the voice of the people...

Aabheaven: Only God will help Naija.only in Nigeria, you will see police men vandalised civilians rights.well, i believe IGP MD Abubakar is really trying to reform policing in Nigeria so that this poor psychological mentality of policing is checked and put to an end. RIP to the dead.God help Naija
