But it is demeaning to both the living and the dead, going around counting corpses because some greedy politicians and their goons need to earn some extra funds.

Ghosts do exist, have had personal experience.

Oh if you're talking about counting of the corpses. I think you're right on that.

Mindlog:
If dem ask you to dey go different mortuaties to count corpses, I no say u go dey happy.

Fine it maybe stressful, but if it's my job I will definitely do it. I know the liver you guys are suggesting here is fear of ghost or spirit or whatever you call it. Do they really exist

Softmirror:
Your choice.

My choice T-PAIN means TEMPORARY PAIN.

But pain is pain and can kill if it isn't already killing

OlujobaSamuel:
I'm sure you ain't a Nigerian for you not to know the meaning of that expression.
We have enough words to form our own English language
"Gather liver" means summon courage

I didn't ask you to tell me the meaning cuz I know it, I only ask why you used it in this context. Gather liver bcuz of who?

Hopefully she will be found hale and hearty, but for those saying thank God it's not in Nigeria that she may have been dismembered. Try watching crime scenes and FBI files on you tube and see what this white and western countries are capable of doing.

The reason is no one’s actually prepared or ready, they all learn on the job, it’s just like chess or checkers, you don’t see potential winning moves most times while you’re in the game, you see better as a spectator. That’s why everyone can analyse and criticise, give that same person a chance, he won’t know how to even put on a computer, expectations and distractions around clouds the delivery capacity.

They don’t teach leadership, it’s inborn, no born leader has ever governed Nigeria

Honestly I can't agree less to your assertion

Mindlog:
Who among the staff of Enugu State Internal Revenue Service would gather liver to go audit corpses in different mortuaties in the state, to make sure of accurate remittance?

This is the handiwork of greedy politicians, their house of assembly should repeal that useless law.

Sorry o, I want to know why you said "Gather liver"

Tayorshd87:
May God bless your generation OOO and that time would have been d best time because there is no global Inflation then ..
But now there is global inflation and palava plus d subsidy removal con make d problem cross multiple 🤞

Honestly you got it.

Goodmorning and happy Sunday to you all.
Regarding my topic above. I'm 44yrs old and since I know myself very well as a child starting from IBB regime. I have noticed that any new president or military ruler is worse than the one he collected power from.
.
Now let me start from the IBB tenure, at least from 1990 till 1993 he relinquish power I was above 10yrs and knew myself, surrounding and what's happening in Nigeria very well.
If we're to give IBB pass mark, to me he got 60/100 in terms of things going well for the average man. Even though some people still grumble about the economics and all which I believe is normal.
.
In come Abacha, few months into Abacha's administration people starts missing IBB including those that complain against him.
As months turn to years we started getting used to Abacha's regime, things were going fine except that you don talk anyhow or criticize the regime else you'll be missing and sometimes declared dead. And majority of the people that kicked against Abacha then are the people ruling us now and impoverishing us. So back then, their complaint were just for their selfishness and personal gains.
Not that Abacha didn't do well just that as a military regime you don't have freedom of speech.
.
In comes Obasanjo, months into his regime which was a Democratic one, few people here and there started missing Abacha and the military, though it wasn't loud that much. But in subsequent years people began talking about Abacha in terms of things being good economically. But without mincing words, Obasanjo too tried his best and things were somehow ok.
.
In comes Yar Adua. I have to be honest here, I was in my late 20s and fully matured, but up til now I can't say if I should give Yar Adua pass mark or not. It was as if I wasn't in existence cuz till now I can't pinpoint how people rated Yar Adua, maybe bcuz he ruled for a short time. But the truth is I don't know how to rate him, but generally things and the economy was also somehow good.
.
In comes Jonathan, hmm.... Jonathan also tried his best. But it was in his tenure corruption and stealing of money rose so high. Now I'm not saying other past administration they wasn't corruption or stealing or embezzling of money but, it became rife and more pronounce during GEJ tenure.
And the irony of it all is that, GEJ himself wasn't the one doing most of the stealing and embezzlement (not that I'm exonerating him from it too) but his appointees, ministers and those who surrounds him including his wife where the ones stealing and spoiling the name of his administration.
.
Before I continue, I want to let you all know that my initial comparison between this past leaders was based on just economy and how things are going well for the common man. If things are going well for the common man, which I believe we all know carries the majority, then every leader under such circumstances is doing well in their eyes and there'll be no much complaint and grumbling.
.
But in GEJ's time things were going fine economically, but the pronouncement and outcry of the elites and media houses about serious corruption and embezzlement got to the masses (common man) and they started thinking they deserves more than they are getting currently then.
This are the main reason APC with their "Change Mantra" got to almost 80% of Nigerians. People started having enough of Jonathan and PDP in particular. Majority of the outcry then was let us even taste another party.
I for one, the first and only time I voted in my 44yrs of existence was in Jonathan's first election seeking to be permanent president after serving out Yar Adua's 2 remaining yrs.
And I voted for him.
.
Fast forward to 2015, I too started agreeing with people that wanted change. And I can swear with my life that majority of us that later criticize Buhari and now Tinubu also wanted that change of person and party.
Not that Jonathan did badly o, but people just wanted a change of party and it's not their fault cuz the corruption and embezzlement under him gave the opposition party what to campaign with and people bought into their vision.
.
In comes Buhari, initially things started looking as if they were about to improve but in a drastic change of event it just went downhill and worse. In my whole existence I used to say I haven't seen a president abused and cursed so much by the populace like Buhari. Even children of 5yrs and above knew and heard of Buhari bcus the hardship got to their parents and their parents complaint which many at times brought up Buhari's name made them know Buhari was our problem. So both children, teens and adults insults and cursed the living daylight out of Buhari.
Honestly, if our curses and swear were effective Buhari would have been dead by now. It even made some people said they can never be any president worse than Buhari.
I rmbr telling some people that cares to listen then, that we haven't seen worse yet. That they should watch out for the next president.
And when I told them to watch out for the next president, I didn't single out anybody.
I just feel the next president whether it be from PDP, APC, LP or whatever will make us rmbr Buhari and I wasn't proven wrong cuz it has been the re-occurring theme ever since I know myself in this country.
.
My final conclusion is that day, as Nigeria is today. I haven't seen any messiah yet and what I can tell people is whatever you're doing don't relent, continue pushing hard. With or without the government, if you will succeed you will succeed.
This are just my own opinion and observation about the Nigeria state. You all are free to counter or support my opinion.
Have a lovely day ahead.

Tayorshd87:
If subsidy is not a problem many past leaders won't be saying they want to remove it from the past.
.....

Good subsidy is a problem, but why did Tinubu stop Jonathan from removing it

GreatAchiever1:
That's what you think about me, no problem about that. But don't think for a second that you ought to be doing online church, that's a total defiance against God. There are cases where one could listen online, but it should never be as a substitute to the local assembly.

Don't you think if God doesn't want people to watch online, he wouldn't have allow man create such technology

Kenobsky:
Na Mumu dey watch online.
For a free flow of the anointing you need to be there live and direct.
You wey watch football match for stadium and person wey watch am for television who get the perfect clarity?

In your last instance watching football at home gives you perfect clarity. Watching live is just so that you'll see your stars live and direct. But any action you missed while watching live, you won't see it again except when you get home and watch replays which those who watch home has already seen repeatedly.

AntiChristian:


Which is more expensive data or fuel?

Online - People with new cars, clothes,.etc to show off would be denied of the euphoria that comes with showing off!

Those that want to slay won't be able to slay!

All those urshers no go get job! They will be the ones dozing!

Some can go to their boyfriend's and continue watching online while the services are going on!

Hahahaha, mehn you hit the nail so hard especially with the showing off of new cars and clothes. That's the main reason many of them go to church

Kilometres:
Mumu,

He was a former labour leader

Two term Governor

Former Chairman of the Ruling Party

Two term Senator and still an high ranking Senator.

He has come a long way and paid his dues... there is no big deal in that house

Is there any different from what you said and what the guy said

Jokerman:
1. If all these early Saints were matyred for their faith in Jesus Christ, and we're more zealous, and did not escape by Rapture, how do today Christians think they wont evangelise for Jesus in a more wicked world, and escape by Rapture?

2. How will someone cope when all these saints will be receiving their golden rewards on that day, and some people who haven't done anything but think they will receive the same reward?

3. How did Catholic Church fall off so badly? No more Bishop like this...

Just a question, which day are you all expecting and waiting for?

This new generation of secondary school students surprises me everyday.
Here in Lagos especially on Fridays like this. School to schools booked fights in advance.
You will see school children throwing stones to themselves and wielding machetes and other weapons.
I'm a driver and worked within Orile and mile 2 axis. Those Orile students are something else. They almost fight themselves everyday and Friday is always the D day after school hours.

brain54:
Nobody has the right to call anyone ugly...

Lolz! What I'm about to say doesn't reflect my true feelings. So if nobody has the right to call anyone ugly, that means they shouldn't also have the right to call someone beautiful or handsome

Successlane:
Obasanjo did.

Remember

D.P. alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa,

Ayo Fayose of Ekiti,

Rasheed Ladoja of Oyo state,

Joshua Dariye of Plateau state

All were SITTING Governors sacked by Obasanjo

For the records, please.

Hmm... Can't really rmbr, where they ousted while on seat or during re-election

Max24:
Maybe you are still a baby. Go and find out how many govs Obasanjo single handedly removed without court consent not to talk of when Supreme Court eventually rules. Even Buhari removed a Chief Justice so who is a gov. ? Tinubu is waiting for a Supreme Court pronouncement then you will see what happens.

Point of correction, Obasanjo didn't remove them while they were on seat and serving their tenure. He only used his Aso rock power to make sure they didn't get second term.

Robin Hood nkọ?

Hmmmmm..... Yeah yeah, including Dr Who

JapaToDNext:
Conan the destroyer, doesn't look interesting, more like boring

Hmm mm..... Boring, yes when I was very young and just saw it.
Interesting when I became an adult and grasp the story lines and details

First of all back then Super Eagles matches pull such gathering. Then when you talk of movies I can name many.
MARD

TALES BY MOONLIGHT
COMMANDO

SNAKE GIRL
SNAKE IN THE MONKEY SHADOWS

Mehn! They're too numerous to mention.

Goodbye from tennis Rafa, a legend you become and a legend you shall remain.

SKYHIGHfx:
Their watch has ended

More like their world has ended

PrinceOfLagos:
God will rescue Nigerians in his own way

Which God? The one that was there and Buhari did us dirty for 8yrs and he was watching.

DaddyCoool:
Well, others criticize and call for coups.
And mention one African sit-tight leader whose citizens were complaining, from Gadaffi to Mugabe. How dare you complain against a dictator. Not only that, when they're finally forced out, people shortly start yearning for the "good old days" when the sit-tight was in power!

In the case of the two leaders you mentioned now, their citizens are regretting their ouster and eventual deaths

DaddyCoool:
You're illustrating exactly what he was saying: if it were an African leader you'd be criticizing it as African sit-tight mentality and advocating they remove him through coup!

I have never criticize any African leader who overstayed when his citizens are not complaining of misrule.

CyrusVI:


Longest serving ruler?
72yo President?

If Russia was an African country, White Worshippers would have called it "Black man mentality" and ask why he choose to rule till 72, while making references to Macrone and some dumbo from Uzbekistan...

...but since hes European, they will never say jack about that


Deep inferiority complex.


Happy Birthday to the most secure human on Earth

Your mumuness forget to tell you he ascended the presidential seat at the age of 48 and bcus he has been doing well the Russian people continued to vote for him till he became the 72 you are yapping about.

NoahHadNoArk:
How will you take time to take photos before later rushing to a hospital 😒



Only The Nigerian Police

It's needed for investigation.

Go to his page to be schooled don't hide here like a local champion.

School in what way? Is a bandit not a criminal? Is being a terrorist not a crime which automatically makes you a criminal?

Ngwamankillyou2:
This useless Man must be mad..so you wish us death...na your family will buy your useless coffins soon.

Mr man shut up, he doesn't need to wish you or anybody dead. The reality is that someone or people must die today, tmrw and so on. Including you and I and Mr Apams himself one day.

frankson1:
they just have to announce his name by any means necessary.

I tell you bro
