. Rest in the bosom of the Lord Almighty. Almost hit 100 years.

Billy Graham was a modern day example of the New testament Faith. Unlike them private jet gang that feels 150million net Worth is small despite being in a poor underdeveloped nation and having no job apart from pulpit-climbing.

Billy preached in front of approx 250million people in the course of his ministry, convincing the that the way to God was through grace in Jesus Christ and not by work, tithe, or political affiliation...

Something deep within tell's me Mr. Billy had seen Jesus today. Rest in peace pa,

Read chapter 4 of the 1999 constitution and note all the freedoms allowed all citizens.

gidgiddy:
The Nigerian constitution does not have independence referendum. However, that is what agitation is for. Putting pressure on the legislature to change the law using non violent and legal agitation of the people.

gidgiddy:
Sedition no longer exits in Nigerian law, it has been removed. Treason on the under hand cannot fly in the face of an unarmed movement.

37. (2) Any person conspiring with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the State with intent to cause such levying of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death:
Provided that nothing in this section shall prevent any act from being treason which is so by the law of England as in form in Nigeria. http://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text.jsp?file_id=218191

gidgiddy:
The policy chosen by IPOB is agitation and massmobilisation, civil disobedience, demonstration, boycott, all of which are legal, which will cause the Nigerian National Assembly to consider moving a motion to grant them a referendum. Personally, I do not know how an unarmed and non violent movement can be causing instability in Nigeria. How is that possible?

Scotland was not colonised or oppressed, that did not take away their right to a 2014 independence referendum.

How exactly are IPOB distubing the peace? Is it their loud demonstrations and rallies? They are allowed freedom of movement and expression under the constitution

As for insults. There is no crime in the eyes of the law called "insult". There may be defamation and libel, but not insult. So if anyone feels insulted, they should stop listening to IPOB or its Radio

LZAA:
hmmm
how does it relate?
hmm
im guessing the keyword being self determination should be sufficient
also those conflicts i listed are more or less between brothers not foriegners
that africa charter included foreigners to quash colonialism

EmployMeNg:
Consider this:

$1.6b generated in Air travel in Africa in 2016
less than 30 million travellers from Africa.

Will Nigeria truly have its own national career?

LZAA:
scotland and england are within the same geographical space yet scotland held a referendum
catalonia and spain
sudan and south sudan
palestine and israel
the morocco standoff
pretty sure all these agitations are within the same geographic area
dont even get me started on korea

gidgiddy:
Listen ignoramus let me school you. Under Article 20(1) of the African charter and Article 1 of the UN charter, two international laws which Nigeria is a signatory to, any group of people can agitate for self determination. It doesnt matter if there is an existing national assembly or not. Nobody needs a mandate to agitate for independence, neither Zik nor Awolowo had any mandate when they started their own agitation for Nigerias independence from Britain. What mattered was if they had the support of the people.

It is by Kanu and IPOB agitating that the legislature will take notice of how serious things are on ground. It is by massmobilising the people that the national assembly will recognise the fact that an issue has become important to some people.

If anyone doesnt like Kanu's way of talking, they should sue him.

ARTICLE 20 | African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights | 25 January 2005 |

All peoples shall have the right to existence. They shall have the unquestionable and inalienable right to self-determination. They shall freely determine their political status and shall pursue their economic and social development according to the policy they have freely chosen.

Colonized or oppressed peoples shall have the right to free themselves from the bonds of domination, by resorting to any means recognized by the international community.

All peoples shall have the right to the assistance of the State Parties to the present Charter in their liberation struggle against foreign domination, be it political, economic or cultural. http://www.achpr.org/instruments/achpr/#a20

ARTICLE 23 | African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights | 25 January 2005 :All peoples shall have the right to national and international peace and security. The principles of solidarity and friendly relations implicitly affirmed by the Charter of the United Nations and reaffirmed by that of the Organisation of African Unity shall govern relations between States

mrdino:
In my honest opinion, this is simple analysis:
1. The population of wise men is fewer compared to the foolish ones. Only a foolish man will knowingly take a 'bad girl' as his wife. Hence, the increase in the number of bad girls getting married, resulting in bad marriages.
2. The population of 'bad girls' is far greater than the 'good girls', therefore the chances of marrying a bad wife is higher (which can even be computed from basic probability calculation ) than marrying a good one.
3. 'bad girls' easily make themselves available.

tee59:
Not all of them end up been happily married after wards. Some don't enjoy their homes CU's of their promiscuous life styles. Some of them always regret bn bad den and can't com out to say it but weep within. Bn bad nor good doesn't make a good wife. You only attract who you are and not what you want.

Lomprico2:
Hahaha! International job man!

I believe u fail to deliver on deadlines, come late to work and skip work whenever u feel like, all you need to do is to give excuses and of course they take ur excuses because u are one of their best brains!

nancyv:
Which truth did he say? He said women are good for nothing except sex and bearing children and I asked him whether his mom never contributed anything to his life.
My mom made me what I am today and I hate when people insult women anyhow just because they were unfortunate to associate with the bad ones.

icebird25:
My advice to you bros, is to find one girl and make her ur baby mama.. Apart from children and sex woman have no other things to offer in marriage.. That say all men are born equal and free but if you decides to go and marry...you are in your own

Lomprico2:
Like I answered other people before you, he never ready to get the job.

Zonacom:
But the foolish venture is about to fetch him some cool cash if his case is handled well. I'd say he's a Wise fool

Onyenna:
Lmao!!.... These bloggers must've really done something to you oooh

mvem:
...ThankGod for you...but try and have 2 more kids and u will hv urself to blame...genetics teaches me that chance of SS being born in an AS/AS relationship is 25%...u escaped the 25%,chance favoured you...but u don't play with an unborn life with this, another couple might not be lucky like u...is no miracle is just basic genetics

Lomprico2:
They are not harsh! You or ur cousin are not serious. U know how lagos traffic is, you shld factor that in your movement and since its ur bus that broke down why didn't u quickly join another vehicle n move instead of waiting for the bus to be fixed. So had it been d bus was not fixed u for tell them to reschedule d interview?

Onyenna:
Maybe he's lying....maybe not.... But his story is not that different from mine..... Though I don't own a house yet....

3html:
I graduated with 2.9 it was so painful though at then, i threw away the certificate (in my box) then face life squarely, working as an independent web designer, freelancer, and above all a die hard blogger hahahahahaha.

I can boast of a bungalow that cost over 9million
Above all i make 360k monthly

Any body that tells u your certification is 100% tied to your success I beg you disagree wqwith such a fellow

mikebrown92:
what about the heat emitting from the bulb, isn't that gonna melt the disposable cups since they are made from elastic plastics.

and OP
why lied you recycled by picking used disposable cups at events and weddings?,

it's clearly seen that you used unused ones to do that and don't device your talent by making it look like a cheap act.

zoba88:

Big Brother Naija Craze: Why Nigerian Youths Are Too Young To Run – Osayimwen George

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He doesn’t seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn’t know, the slowpoke, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations” – Bertolt Brecht.

One of the biggest political lies making the round,s is that Nigerian youths are not too young to occupy public offices. The #NotTooYoungToRun bill initiated by the National Assembly, could be likened to a situation whereby a toddler is being offered his father’s nipples, in the absence of his mother. No matter how hard he tries to extract milk from it, it will amount to a futile mouth exercise designed to distract him from crying momentarily.

First of all, the Nigerian system itself is designed to sideline youths, and credible people. Preliminary studies have shown that most people acquire the Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVC) for the purpose of currying cheap favours, from politicians. The motives are never about the general interest of the people, which is the essence of governance.

In my first three months in the field of journalism, I observed our company’s driver then was so eager to obtain his Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC. His level of determination and enthusiasm baffled me, and I was forced to ask him if it was the quest for a ‘change’ that was driving him as we experienced in the year 2015. To my greatest shock, he said;

“I need the PVC so that I can sell my vote to the highest bidder. On a normal day, my vote could cost N4,000 or more depending on the heat of the election”.

I swiftly ended the inquiry in order to save my ears from more vile details. Election time is a money-sharing period in Nigeria, where people mortgage their futures and destinies, over a mesh of porridge just like Esau, in the Holy Bible. Unlike the American political system where voters engage in fundraising for the candidates of their choice, the ones in Nigeria will put cotton wool in their ears, during the electioneering campaign pending when their palms are greased with some coins. This has given politics an outlook of business investment, and actors tend to recoup their ‘production costs’ at the expense of the poor masses as soon as they win political power.

But against all these challenges of dealing with recycled and tired leaders trying to run the latest computer software of the 21st century, with a Windows 95 Operating System, what are the youths doing to make a difference in a failing country dominated by them? The bitter truth is that we youths are doing nothing.

We are on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat monitoring celebrities and celebutantes living a lie to impress us; we are constantly scrolling through the profiles of some cleavage-bearing and twerking ladies on Instagram with a sure plan to slide into their DMs, following comedians online and being engrossed with their skits, monitoring sensational news, social media dramas and gossips to enjoy the moment, we are glued to our TV screens watching Big Brother Naija, for the next housemate that would engage in a sensual activity, with the opposite sex.

The level of apathy for politics among youths is unprecedented and nauseating; even the so-called social media warriors making the loudest noise about the mysterious snake that purportedly swallowed N36 million Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB money have no PVC. This accounts for the reason why a gubernatorial candidate in Anambra State Osita Chidoka won the election on social media and abysmally lost in real life despite his impressive debate on Channels TV prior to the governorship election.

One of the reasons is that the youths who dominate the social media space don’t have voter’s cards. They gladly talk the talk on social media amid all manners of frivolities while most of our rugged brothers from the northern part of the country walk the walk; they boldly put action to their words.

In the buildup of the 2015 general elections, I noticed there was a mass exodus of northerners from Ibadan, Oyo State where I resided at that time to their respective states in the northern part of Nigeria. They knew the value of power and the importance of a Buhari Presidency. Most of them expended their life savings in making those long trips and the resultant effect was Buhari’s rout of the northern part of Nigeria while some South-westerners either showed apathy, or waited for ‘mobilization fee’ from politicians and political parties to exercise their franchise.

While the youths slumber at the driver’s seat, it now hurts more that the underaged folks have gone ahead to obtain PVCs without the slightest idea of its essence. The incident of the Kano State Local Government elections where pictures and videos of minors freely participating in the electoral process has supplied us with the robust evidence to buttress this claim.

I have understudied the mind-boggling passion of Nigerian youths for the Big Brother Naija reality show, and I have tentatively reached the conclusion, that there might be a spiritual undertone to it. Some Nigerian youths stay glued to their TV sets and make recordings of romantic moments between Tobi and Cee-C, Miracle and Nina, Teddy A and Bambam, Bito and Ifu Ennada and other emotionally-confused people to share online regardless of the large internet data consumption. Reactions just never stop flowing like woman with the issue of blood. One can only imagine the kind of positive results we will attain if those energies are channeled into political consciousness towards demanding accountability from our leaders.

Attacks by Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, high-profile kidnappings, exposure of gargantuan fraud in the political circle and others have failed to gain the kind of buzz generated by the BB Naija, which gives viewers a mere masturbatory feeling. One imagines the economic advantage Payporte, an e-commerce platform and other sponsors can generate if they convert the 3-month reality show into a workshop to train programmers & Information Technology enthusiasts. At least Nigeria could have our own version of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos.

The same old leaders were are bad-mouthing are still the ones pleading with us to avoid being distracted by the reality show and endeavor to participate in the electoral process and appropriate political discuss via available channels.

On the 3Oth of January, 2018, a concerned People’s Democratic Party chieftain and Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwambo took to his Twitter account to appeal to Nigerian youths to keep their eyes on the ball.

“#BigBrotherNaija is good and I commend the ingenuity of our youths, but the future is not #BBNaija3, it is in your hands dear Nigerian youths. Go and get your #PVC,” he posted but this has fallen on permanently deaf ears. We will rather prefer to storm religious centres for fasting and praying when the Shylocks and other political sharks hijack power in 2019 and increase the tempo of economic hardship.

The Senator representing Bayelsa East, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, also reiterated the stand of Governor Dankwambo.

In his words:

”I urge Nigerian youths not to be lulled by #BBNaija and forget to get their PVCs. 12 million Nigerians have lost their jobs since President Buhari assumed office two years ago.

”Most of those 12 million are youths. The power to change this equation is in your PVC and not BBNaija!”

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), recently went hard on Nigerian youths describing the dreams of political leadership as a mirage as well as dangerous journey.

According to him, there is no evidence that youths were better than elders in leadership.

“They (youths) will be fooling themselves if they think they can sit on their back-pedal and somebody will hand over power to them. That is a pure delusion.

“Speaking generally, there is no evidence whatsoever that the youths are better.

“In fact, the preponderance of evidence is that it is riskier to have a youth, at least in this country, at the helm of affairs.” he emphasized.

His harsh words have attracted hasty and emotional reactions from youths, who feel the legal luminary might be acting controversial as usual ,but he is only speaking the bitter truth.

We can only admire young world leaders like Emmanuel Macron of France (41), Justin Trudeau of Canada (46), the infamous Kim Jong Un of North Korea (34), Kim Yo Jong of North Korea (30), Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia (32), Sebastian Kurz of Austria (31) and George Weah of Liberia (51) but we might never produce them with our poor level of political consciousness, lack of coordination and obsession with frivolities.

The Nigerian youths are dominated by proud side-chicks of married men parading themselves as Nollywood actresses, models, Make-up artists, video vixens and other flexible jobs associated with showbiz.

Among the youths, we have ill-mannered ladies posing as feminists looking for rich men to date and marry; we celebrate internet fraudsters and others with unfounded wealth; we give support to musicians who preach societal decadence, immorality, drug abuse, internet scam, and living in the fast lane.

The school libraries have become empty with the Big Brother Naija craze, the unprofitable gist has dominated the media space and the truth is that no matter how entertaining the show might be, it will take us nowhere as youths.

- At the age of 24, President Muhammadu Buhari had participated in the second military coup of July, 1966,

- At age 33, Yakubu Gowon presided over the civil war and kept Nigeria as one.

- Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo at 40 founded the Nigerian Tribune – the oldest surviving private Nigerian newspaper, to prosecute the nationalist movement.

- Lawyer, politician and diplomat Matthew Tawo Mbu, from Okundu in Cross River State, was appointed Federal Minister for Labour at age 23 in 1953, and he is the youngest Minister Nigeria has ever had in history.

- At 25, former Nigerian military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida had become a key player in most of the military coups in Nigeria (July 1966, February 1976, December 1983, August 1985, December 1985 and April 1990). At 44, he subsequently became the President.

- What about Chief Olusegun Obasanjo? At 39 (going by his date of birth – 1937) he became a military ruler at 39.

The list is endless, but what are people of that age doing today? The answer is simple, they are doctoring their pictures taken at exotic locations to showboat on social media, as well as doing intellectual analysis of the Big Brother Naija show, while the organizers rip them of their funds through text messages, and coast to financial success. They are busy online sharing memes, flirting with ladies and making jokes out of all scenarios. This is really sad and it portends a grave danger!

We have to wake up from our slumber and snatch our lives from the alleged political cabal ruling the country using the President’s face. Power can never be handed to us on a platter of gold as the diminutive governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai opined on social media.

We need the dedication employed by one of the most successful countries in the world – South Korea, where the citizens once donated their expensive jewelries and other golden personal effects in 1998 to the state, to sell them off and recover from economic crisis. At that time, it was estimated that South Korean households held roughly $20 billion in gold, in the form of necklaces, coins, bars, trinkets, statuettes, medals, pendants, military insignias, trophies and more.

It was an emergency situation that demanded for an uncanny approach. That act of self-sacrifice stunned the world, as the citizens came as a formidable force to salvage their debt-ridden country. The real change starts from the mindset and from there; we can put actions to our words.

We shouldn’t be deceived by the development that 25 Houses of Assembly have passed the #NotTooYoungToRun bill. Youths will soon realize we are #NotTooYoungToLose. Enacting the law is not the challenge, but the feasibility of contesting in a faltering system. What is the essence when the structure is closed, and youths are selfishly aligned to the old leaders, causing us to sing in discordant tunes? https://9jaflaver.com/big-brother-naija-craze-why-nigerian-youths-are-too-young-to-run-osayimwen-george/

Guitarlife:
You do have a right to take this position but if the church were to take this logic it totally defeats the whole essence of the message of Faith that the church stands for.

Plus I think for an organisation its totally discriminatory and also intrusive.

Such a decision clearly relegates the seat of the holy spirit. Its rather disturbing, I am not sure churches abroad could pull that off.

They'd get sued and rightly so.

Teetopz:
