What is your delivery mechanism... Can you deliver across Lagos?

josephni12:
I've personally noticed something peculiar to the Redeemed Christian church of God which I am not comfortable with. The Bible warns that we should not give chance for people to question our faith our unity in the body of Christ. In other churches, like deeper life, chosen, mountain on fire etc state and regional pastorship have always been of people of different tribes as the case may be,

But it's not so with in Redeemed Christian Church of God were MOST (not ALL about (86%)). of their regional / state pastors are most Yoruba's in almost every state in nigeria. Is it that the people mostly trusted to be Good pastors to handle that PARTICULAR POSITION are from one particular tribe? This is what is happening currently in our Government. Please, constructive criticism no tribalism.

Here we go again... Tribal sentiments all over the place... After this one, you will now come and ask why is that most priests in Catholic Church in Nigeria are Igbo? Continue...

Google is correct. Jonathan was bad but Buhari is worse.yoruba went for the worse.in 2019 we shall see

It's a choice you can't predict from the onset. We have the chance to vote for or against buhari in 2019. that's democracy. the fact that it didn't go ur way no mean say Yoruba are weak. only 54% of UK voted for BREXIT. it doesn't make the other 46% call them weak and stupid...

attacker321:
From all indications, the Yoruba is the weak link in the south. I say this with all sense of responsibility.


The far north i.e, the Hausa/Fulani know that the Yoruba is the soft spot where they can always take advantage of to hold everybody down especially the Yoruba muslims.

If not for the weakness of the Yoruba, by now the South would have been able to pull down the fulani hegemony and look the north in the face and say 'Enough is enough.'

2015 was a great opportunity to tell the north that you cannoy always get what you want or bully your way into power but Yoruba under the guise of 'sophistication' messed everything up.

The hausa/fulani threatened that there would be no Nigeria if they didn't get back their power in 2015 and the South ought to have called their bluff but because of yoruba 'sophistication' see where we are today.

Yoruba ronu oo.

when Yoruba voted for a southern president in 2011, where e lead them? abegi park well. the igbos & ss didn't call for unity in the south when Jonathan was destroying the sw. Yoruba pple don't cry when they are hard done. they will strike with their vote... so don't call it weakness. it is political maturity. we all cannot be militants and rebels...

stefan388:
Am so happy that Buhari will have no oppurtunity to trace or link his property to the arm deal. Anything more than this Buhari will instruct Magu to link this loan to Dasuki's arm deal as his trying to do to Fayose.

“Because of a mere N11 billion debt, AMCON/Buhari and APC want to take over Silverbird”
“Buhari is simply going after his political enemies to silence them”
“The takeover of Silverbird is purely political witch-hunt”
“Is Ben Bruce the only person who owes money in Nigeria?”
“Dangote owes N209 billion but Bruce owes only N11 billion, yet Dangote is walking free”
"In fact, Buhari is a tyrant, Buhari is a dictator, a Hilter, a devil, a destroyer, we want freedom, bla bla bla…."

These are the sort cringe inducing statements spewed into cyberspace since yesterday by ‘the usual suspects,’ most of whom are supposed to be the so called leaders of tomorrow. 99% of the people spewing these thing have no clue what it means to service a loan, neither do they have a clue how AMCON operates.

They have also intentionally turned a blind eye or are just plainly ignorant of the fact that Ben Bruce is not the first person to have his business possessed; a mere application of the Common Sense which Mr Bruce has been trying hard to impart on these folks should have told them that bad loans have nothing to do with Buhari or APC or PDP or religion or region.

Just last month, AMCON possessed the business of Alhaji Sani Dangote (Bulk Pack Services Ltd) for bad loans; Sani Dangote is the younger brother of Alhaji Aliko Dangote. We did not hear this senseless cry of Buhari Buhari Buhari!!
http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/05/26/amcon-takes-over-sani-dangotes-asset/
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/debt-recovery-amcon-takes-dangotes-bulk-pack-services-ltd/

Just 3-4 days ago, this same AMCON also repossessed properties of Mr Jimoh Ibrahim due to a defaulted N50 billion loan, they even went further to freeze his accounts. We also did not hear any shouts of Buhari!
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/n50bn-debt-amcon-takes-jimoh-ibrahims-firms-freezes-bank-accounts/

Many other takeovers have been undertaken by AMCON in recent times from Bacita Sugar to G. Cappa to Bi-Courtney to Aero to Arik etc, most of these bad loans were bought by AMCON when they took over failed banks. All these happened under Yaradua, GEJ and then Buhari and never for once have we ever heard of people accusing the president for these, but now we have the Buhari hate factor.

It is sad to note how the reasoning of Nigerian youths have been so degraded; everything these days is viewed as witch-hunt, assault, attack, oppression and marginalisation even when glaring evidence proves otherwise. A lot of our folks need to emancipate themselves from this mental slavery.

are they obtainable in Nigeria?

Lilimax:
It's becoming so obvious that it is one sided and this is making mess of the whole thing.

Why didn't you talk when it was reported that efcc or SSS arrested Buhari's aid?

You guys are just noise maker. The president has said it over and over again - "we have not really started. We have only begun the investigation into how the money required for arm purchase was squandered. And anyone who benefited will cough it out". Or is it possible to deal with all d issues at once.

I am sad about the quality of the mind of Nigerian youths. It's sad that people who have stolen into the future and have put us into the present predicament are being celebrated or patted in the back. God will judge us all.

wailers will say it's only opposition that buhari is fighting...

Hello wailers, keep complaining but don't put your hand in the cookie jar. if you do, your fingers will burn...

uniklinkum:
To even think that anyone believes the lies of fayose shows the level of intellectual depreciation in Nigeria.

it is so amazing the way the haters of buhari jump at every headline against buhari. if efcc picks someone up, they will shout "where is the evidence?" but when their master, Fayose, the head of wailers, says Aisha Buhari, they jump into conclusion without asking for evidence.

What a world of confused people. They will continue to wail...

Our politicians are the reason why generally Nigeria is still underdeveloped . They are also the architecture of unemployment in this Country ,due to their enormous love for power and selfish interest .
They are the reason why many educated and uneducated youths are scattered all over the street unemployed . They successfully promoted corruption, hate and tribalism among we youths to the extend we can hardly tolerate ourselves. Which way my brothers? We have been deprived of our privilege and enslaved by this corrupt government officials . Let's stop celebrating thieves and say no to corruption. This people are the reason why most of you are still staying with your parents . NJA WAKE UP

The politicians aren't our problem. they are only opportunists taking advantage of the problem. our problem is ourselves - the followers (our psyche, our thoughts, the quality of our mind). the politicians know it that's why they feast on our mind. imagine some Nigerians saying Fayose is their mentor. imagine Nigerians saying we should let the past go and forget about fighting corruption. imagine some youths that should be asking questions from govt will be celebrating them even when there is no tarred road in their communities. with stomach infrastructure, the politicians feel they don't owe their subjects anything more...

Nigerians will start moving forward when politicians realise that they can't survive the street anytime they are misbehaving...

After the raging hullabaloo over TeeBillz’s bombshell, the superstar-brand-ambassador expectedly felt it was necessary to clear her part and protect her career in what could have been a major doom. It would be believed that she consulted her PR team for ‘professional’ advice on the best way to manage the looming crisis, and guess the ‘presumably brilliant piece’ they all came up with… a seemingly ‘staged’ video where she supposedly granted an interview with what was to be believed by fans and stakeholders as some off-the-cuff candor.

The interview was meant to be seen as being purely unprecedented with credit of hard-work given to the interviewer’s platform. Perhaps, many took it just as that… Whatever was said in the interview wouldn’t be so much of my concern, but taking the PR profession for granted and insulting the innocence of people and essence of the PR practice is what I might not be able to stomach in this situation.

Tiwa is no doubt a big brand in Africa’s entertainment scene, and whatever professional display done by her or her team may instantly become a model for others to follow. The video (or interview) was not just an error; it was a huge professional blunder capable of garnering adverse ripple effect that may be largely counter-productive for her career, and quite misleading for upcoming stars and PR professionals. Below are 5 blunders in the video.

Granting a Camera-Light-Action interview in a space of 24 hours
Since when did we start granting a controlled video interview to ‘immediately’ respond to snowballing crisis in the entertainment scene in Nigeria? In this part of the world, everything under camera, light, and action is believed to be staged and obviously pre-arranged. I’m sure this is one of the reasons Charles Novia earlier called Tiwa a Beyonce-clone. Perhaps, Tiwa and her team failed to realize that it wouldn’t be easy to completely be a Beyonce clone in the Nigerian environment. Her PR team should have known better to simply set up a single camera video with a head-on shot somewhere in the corner of her room or her living room and give possible impression of staged drama a very wide berth. This is if at all a video is found necessary (oh!  I understand her team really wanted to show the Nollywood sober mood in her costume with the repentant scarfing, and the largely exaggerated teary part with an obviously poor art director. If not, why a video?).

What!!! A 44-minute long video? (The shorter the merrier, my dear)
If her PR team were qualified professionals, they should have known that too much talk was one of the biggest threats to crisis communication. In fact, I would have wondered why even a 5-minute long video if at all it must be a video! In a sane country with a sane system, her too much talk in the bid to further exonerate herself and make TeeBillz the bad guy has landed her career in a massive doom. To bring back TeeBillz’s drinking habit and the alleged cocaine use is a ground of mere unreasonableness. Are brands and fans meant to congratulate ‘you’ for condoning, conniving and colluding with a partner who had been on the illegal side of the law for many years? Not to even say that connivance and collusion is a crime on the part of the law within marital issues. Yes, TeeBillz was unreasonable and also guilty for bringing back Tiwa’s alleged affairs with the three music stars since the law suggests that once you had condoned the action, it should not form basis for any further allegation. But, what Tiwa’s PR team failed to realize was that TeeBillz wasn’t a brand ambassador. Now, our supposed brand ambassador is also known as someone who condoned, connived and colluded with an alleged cocaine addict. What a shame! Hopefully, TeeBillz will not charge her for maligning his character, and then a part of the career and emotional distraction begins. Hopefully again, she is still a responsible brand ambassador after covering one of the world’s biggest criminal acts. What an insensitive charlatans called professional PR team.

The Nollywood Costume Stunt
If her PR team must create a Camera-Light-Action scene, why take away the Tiwa brand since we already know that the interview is a controlled one. The beginning of the failure of the video was the Nollywood’s repentant-born-again-Christian style. My conclusion was that the PR team had more of Nollywood movies than the real essence of PR practice.

The Artistic Tears
If anyone wonders again why such long video, this part should be an obvious answer. Hey, if there was no such display of tears, how would the PR team succeed at bouncing the Tiwa brand back to dominate and have a controlling influence on people’s emotions? There was urgent need to create sympathy and leverage it to survive the lingering storm. But the tears rather came like they had been pre-planned, and there was either a written or unwritten script that suggested that “this must be done at so so line… we need you to break the tears; it’s the high point of the video.” Tiwa didn’t really need to break the tears, and if she must, silent tears would have been more penetrating than the loud and seemingly staged ones.

The Disappointing Interviewer
If there must be a great staged play, the actors must be carefully selected! Kunle Afolayan is a great man to consult here… I wonder how the interviewer (Treating her as just an interviewer here) planned to substantiate the veracity of the video with her tacky and completely unprofessional display. She clearly showed how pre-ratified the interview questions were with her conservative and carefully selected conduct. It was really my first time of seeing such supposedly high profile interview with little or nothing coming from the interviewer; all her questions were clearly ratified and her spontaneity was complete zero… No expressions, no reactions, no further queries, nothing! That was very poor, my dear!!



While there could be more to say, I have decided to, as much as practicable, avoid talking about the family and whatever they could be pooling through; my concern is more about the increasing abuse of the practice of Public Relations that is even more rampant in the entertainment industry. I hope Tiwa’s supposed video rejoinder will not snowball into even bigger crisis for herself, her family and her career.

What a PR-damage-control stunt; probably the biggest PR goof of the decade.

Everyone now wants to ride on this unfortunate incident to become popular. I won't read neither will I judge...

lilprinze:
APC is the biggest scam in the history of Nigeria.

Is it not your pdp stalwarts that installed saraki. The pdp blood of impunity is still in him. You were happy when he was installed because u hated apc and now he has started showing what he is made of, you jump up and still shamelessly say it is apc

Naijiant:
It's not about "fighting". It is about speaking out against evil.

Read the piece and stop criticising for the sake of it. Soyinka's sacrifices as a young man were acknowledged.

Why are you waiting on Wole Soyinka? He has created his path and why can't you be the next voice for others. Why can't you stand up like he did many years back. Do you have any idea of how it is quite challenging for an old man to do the same things he did in his youth. Once in a while, you may see or hear his thoughts on certain matters but you may just be the next this generation is waiting for...

RockHard:
Thank Goodness for the oil slump that is resetting their brains and pushing many Governors to think out of the box/creatively about creating wealth & generating more revenue for their states. Ride on Aregbe.

Yet some stupid and cantankerous youths will be all over the place celebrating a mofo who goes to china to lie and scam as their role model...

They will never see anything good in any govt that is trying to change status quo...

Nbote:
If only u people had sense den u wouldn't have d time to worry what a state governor is doing on his travails. Oh by the way, u people look really stupid weneva u try to discredit others but rush to defend clear scams... Well I really wonder how u people wake up each day as zombies..

No problem. We are zombies but you are zobo...

englishmart:
at least, he hasn't visited up to five countries this year; Buhari has visited over 99 countries only in April

Is he the president that you will be comparing his visit with the president's. How many other governors have travelled out in the last one year? Why are you so ridiculous and sounding daft?

booqee:
I keep wondering why did God even create the tree of life in the garden of Eden in the first place if He didn't want man to sin..

Some say its intentional... if it is, why was He so displeased to the extent of placing a curse on them...

He created us as man.. not as gods or heavenly creatures.. so of course he was easy and prone to falling for temptation.. so I assumed He knew from the start while creating him, that man would fall by eating the forbidden fruit...

so why bother creating it and then cursing man when it is believed He knew he would fall.. (that's the part that makes it look unfair) .. its similar to setting a concealed trap right in front of us..


I'm confused honestly ..

contributions are welcome

God wanted man to choose life, that is why he put the two trees (1. tree of life, and 2. tree of knowledge of evil and good- death). If your father put dustbin on the left and put jollof rice on the right, are you not expected to pick the jollof rice, but man heeded to the deceptive voice of the serpent so that we will not live perpetually in the garden. By that singular act, our nature was corrupted, and man was chased out of the garden, giving the devil the princely authority over the earth. It took the cross and the blood of Jesus to restore all that believe, and to have authority and dominion over sin and the power of hell...

I hope this gives a background of understanding...

Eemmagu:
Evil people has been put to shame

I guess the family of the deceased are the evil people...

woodcook:
Of course this is democracy, he should follow due process in doing it. That I am in support of jailing corrupt official does not mean the state should forgo due process in carrying that out. That is the beauty of democracy if you think that because someone is guilty hence the need to subvert the rule of law then you are out of your mind.

Please don't quote me out of context. I didn't say he shouldn't follow rule of law. I am only showing you that you are not patient with this administration. Everything done is read with little or no belief by younger minds like you. When you wear such attitude, it is easy for you to see the wrongs rather than the process to the right...
