How people drown in swimming pool is what I don't know, is it by force to swim?...
If u don't know how to swim ,y enter the pool without swimming aids.

Haba

Rest in peace man
Men can do anything to impress a babe, especially these Univeristy boyz.

They might not have swimmed one second in their life before, but they impress the babe and to show their ‘skills’ they will under-estimate the pool and dive in just like they see it done on the movie and thinks they will slide smoothly as the people on movie does, but with no skills; as soon as the hit the water panick sets in and clock starts counting down from there and the rest is history.
CrimeRe: How Pastor's Brother-In-Law Raped And Impregnated Teenage Girl In Abuja. Photos by linearity: 1:15am On Apr 03, 2018

Why must the accused person's identity be attached to his brother who is a pastor undecided
Are you trying to be sensational?
Not necessary bruv

I wish what happened to the girl did not happen. I'm truly sorry for her and wish her quick recovery from the rape, abuse and psychological trauma.
But focus on punishing the accused and getting justice for the girl
And don't be sensational I beg
The Pastor is the custodian of the little girl....in Bible parlance, she was a sheep under his care and he should account for that sheep if anything happens.

More so, what happened took place in his own home and done by his Inlaw that he allowed to come in and now he is in the center of it all, trying to negotiate a soft landing for his Inlaw.

I beg leave matter.....The Pastor is in the front, center and every, his stewardship failures led to all these. He can even be legally charged as an accessory to statutory rape, since the little girl was under his care and the rape happened right under his nose and in his house, you can see why he is negotiating a soft land.

I don’t know why Christians take offense when totten eggs among them are called out. It has nothing to do with tarnishing the image of Christ or the message of the good news, nothing can tarnish that work. Jesus called the hypocrites in his names, and said they are the leaders, scribes, head of the synagogues; everyone then know eaxactly the identities of these people.

Hmmm, maybe she was misquoted about marrying as a virgin, cause an actress marrying as a virgin in Nigeria is like seeking a virgin in a maternity ward.
BTW she could also be saying the truth, just maybe the husband who disvirgined her wasn't a responsible father.
She was not misquoted, she was clearly and knowingly lying her arse off.

If it was a passing comment, then she will get the benefit of a doubt.

After making the comment, she dwell on it, provided context...decried pre-marital sex, speak about the pride in a lady’s virginity; bemoaned girls who got deflowed outside wedlock...and even prayed for God intervention for those engaged in it.

She was retouching her image as a chastened lady who was unlucky today’s generation married as a virgin.

She is a LYING two face bitch!

Thanks to CNN. Follow CNN without adequate research at your peril. The last place you want to follow CNN is on Trump matter. Deficit climbing to 5.5 billion over 200% increase in less than 2years since 2013 when Amazon online retailing started to blossom is not a coincidence, and I don't think that have anything to do with retirement. CNN will use anything to make Trump look bad, next they will blame increase in fuel price
What I posted are facts, point out an inaccurate post...

I will take the position of David Partenheimer, the USPS spokeman over your inaccuracies, he clearly stated that, since the agreement with Amazon, Recenues has gone up, expenses has gone down and by law they are required to maintain a delivery system that reaches all nooks and corners of the US and the partnership with Amazon provided the money to sustain that delivery network till today....it is even said that, congressional laws would have driven the USPS into bankruptcy if not for the Amazon deal...read part of what he said below....


“ The Postal Service has said it actually makes money on the Amazon deal. E-commerce revenue provides "essential support to pay for the network and infrastructure that enables us to fulfill our universal service obligation," David Partenheimer, a spokesman for the Postal Service, wrote in a January op-ed. "All users of the mail benefit." “

What is killing USPS is Congress, the cost of delivery mails has increased over the years and Congress will not allow USPS to charge market rate; the same package that USPS delivers for $1, FedEx does it for $5 and you wonder why they are losing money?

As you stated, USPS deficit was $5.5b, just imagined if they were not obligated to set aside $8.5b to treasury that same year to fund Republicans congressional mandates, their profit would have been about $3b.

USPS is running at a loss, billion of dollar deficit every year. As for China tariff, he that is down need no fall. Most thing in the US at being imported from China, and I don't think China import anything they can produce from anywhere else. Raise tariff on my fruit while I raise tariff on your steel...this is a war America cannot afford to run away from, relying on bubble market economy while production collapse is the requirement to becoming a third world country. If market economy is so great as those bribed economist wanted us to believe US will not be running at a deficit 10 straight year with decaying infrastructure while China break new grounds and become extremely rich, buying over most real estate in new York.
USPS is running a deficit is a scam and shell game setup by the GOP so they can have opportunity to privatize it.

Agreed volume of mails had reduced overtime due to email and other technologies.

These are the two major factors driving USPS deficit and they are all artificial and put in place by the US Congress...

1. USPS cannot set their own rates just like other delivery services. Their rates are far below market rate. You can send a first class mail with an amount less than you can use to buy an envelope and the USPS can do nothing about it.

2. Congress tied their hand and force them to fund employees health and retirement 10 years into the future, even when those monies will not be used. No other US business does that....if you join USPS today, Congress requires the USPS to write a check totally your estimate 10 years retirement to the treasury within a month...if you do not stay until retirement e.g. get another job tomorrow, died, etc the treasury does not refund the money back to the USPS, this is clearly a congressional scam.

So, USPS can become profitable overnight if the shackles around their ankles are removed and they are allowed to function as a business.

Ohh, you can read it from the source. It was explained and simplified there.

It's about Donald Trump trying to stop Jeff Bezos - World richest man, from USA post office delivery service. This drastically make Amazon lost over $53 billion in just a day.
Trump was not trying to stop him him from using US post office.

Trump in his usual clueless, ignorant inaccurate manner tweeted that Amazon is cheating the US postal service because of the amount agreed upon between the two for mail delivery. Trump was wrong and inaccurate, he have a vendetta against Washington Post own by Jeff and used that to attack him.

US Post office came out and indicated that, the partnership with Amazon is profitable to them and no one is cheating the other.

Amazon will just be fine, Trump is a clueless and ignorant school yard bully.
EducationRe: Man Launches Himself In Self-made Rocket To Prove Flat Earth Theory by linearity:
NwaNimo1:
Enter any plane flying across the Sahara and you will see the earth is as flat as a pancake!

If it were round the plane would constantly be ascending/descending......
You are seeing it flat because you have limited perspective and can't see the curvatures...

Doing simple mathematics.....

Planes fly at a max altitude of about 40,000ft aka 8 miles about the earth surface and while at that mere 8 miles above, your naked eyes can not make out a trees housees, nothin.....even in the clearest of weather and lighting conditions....hold this thought for a minute...

The Earth's circumference, is 24,901 miles, which means for each degree of earth surface; we have a length of about 70 miles long...the length of a football field is 90 meters i.e 0.055 miles; meaning for just 1 degree of movement across the earth surface, you must be able to see 1,272 foot fields in one perspective to notice one degree of curvature.

So, flying at a mere 8 miles above, you cannot notice even a tree, how are you going to notice a one degree earth curvature that happens every 70 miles or sustain the viewing perspective of 1,272 x foot field lengths?

So to be able to notice the earth’s curvatures you have to travel farther into space, much more that Air Planes can reach and with a telescope you can see it.

The logic is the same as, if you stand right in front of a very big building, you will not be able to see its corners, it will appear as a continuous flat surface to you; however the further you move away from the building, the more you see and eventually, depending on how wide the building is and your visions permitting, you will start seeing the corners and more structures around its bends.

Astronauts have taken pictures of earth from far away space, using powerful telescopes and its spherical and not flat.

...but you lost all credibility, when you did not point out that, the wife must had also lost his husband affections to his current girlfriend, due to the reason and equal failure on her part.

That's not an excuse, they can as well use clean cut clothes. wash and spread in the sun after use.
From the article, they use the sands and ashes rapped with cut clothing materials, which should be obviously clean or washed from previous use.

It appear that, the sand and ashes in-between serves as absorber as the clothing will be too tinny to hold off heavy floor.

Instead of sand or ashes, I think grounded charcoal which is readily available would be a better alternative as absorbers, because charcoal have lots of medicinal values.

This is bad.

voting is not compulsory

religion should interfere with politics and vice versa. one thing I love about America is that religious institutions aren't allowed to interfere with politics
I take it that, you don't live in America and are clueless about what happens there.

The America Establishment clause does not prevent the government from entering into religion; we see that all the time from Christmas decorations on the White House lawns, to carols to observations of all kind of christian and jewish festivals.

The separation of church and state, does not also prevent churches from advocating for a particular candidate. During the last America Election, Evangelicals openly advocated for Trump and many churches openly preached it on Sunday, many organization buses to take people to the voting booths.

Many churches in the US are actively involved in voters registration drive.

Churches in Nigeria need to wake up. I commend the Pastor here, prayer without work is nothing. Christians, especially the spirit filled Pentecostals have been shying away from politics for too long. The bible say, if the wicked rule a nation, the people shall suffer and to ensure that people do not suffer, do not leaving the election of these rulers to others, you must play your part in ensuring that the wicked does not get the highest vote, cast your own vote and canvas others to vote.

HealthRe: Should Abortion Be Legalized In Nigeria? by linearity: 3:22am On Mar 30, 2018
Abortion is a medical issue and it should be a decision left to the lady, her Doctor and her God.

The Government’s concern should be strictly to ensure that, the Doctor is qualified and has been trained. These Doctors should be trained to counsel these ladies on their reasons and to see if alternatives can be provided. There should only be laws against illegal abortions i.e. ones performed by quacks.

Statistics have shown that, rather than reduce abortion, anti-abortion laws drive abortion rates higher, because people result to self-help, half measures and quacks because the trained Doctors wouldn’t do it, because it is illegal.

The reason behind this is....I have never met anyone who gets pregnant and say....Gee! The reason am keeping this baby is because abortion is illegal in Nigeria....likewise, I have never met anyone who said...OMG! I am pregnant and I can’t get anyone to abort this pregnancy because abortion is illegal. It means that, the law only purpose is to drive traffic to quacks resulting in more harms, deaths and pains.

The Government should also provide ‘safe houses’ where day old babies can be dropped off....no questions asked.

Biometric passwords are always secondary passwords, a skilled hacked can trick the phone to bypass all biometric passwords and force the phone to offer master password for authentication.

In iPhone, it is not even a trick, if confronted with a biometric password, just power cycle the phone and you will be asked to enter the master password in order to gain access.

Trump’s image does not need impairment, it’s already impaired, it is an open secret.

Plus, it does not matter if he did it when he took office...he didn’t not commit any crime by drilling a hooker raw.

If this was a non issue, why the denial? Why the cover up? This lady saved her life by coming to the public, they would have still held her in captivity with the threat of doing her harm, if she open her mouth.

You can feel the pressure, she was under...now that it is in the open, she has freed herself.

Let’s seem how the other stories unravels, especially the $130k payment for her to keep quite about what Trump said ‘never happened’ and it’s implications surrounding campaign financing.

Agreed, the GOP will not do anything, but Trump will be impeached once the House flip to Democrats come November, but he will not be convicted as there will not be enough votes in the Senate to do that, from there he becomes a lame duck President till 2020.
