Politics / Re: Customs Seizes Military Hardware, Weaponry From USA In Lagos by lonecat: 6:45pm On Dec 20, 2016
wexyee:
the suspect name is mr christian mbachi...... And it is fully documented ... If only u go tru ..... Smh for delibrate dumbness
THE Tin-Can Command of the Nigerian Customs
Service (NCS) has seized different types of
military hardware and weaponry imported from
the United States of America (USA) inside two
different containers at the Tin-Can Island Port in
Lagos.
Speaking to newsmen on Monday in Lagos, the
Controller of the Tin-Can Customs Command,
Comptroller Yusuf Bashar explained that the
seizures were made on November 29, 2016, and
the containers examined on the 30th of same
month.
According to him, “we first impounded a vehicle
that was discovered to have carried magazines
with 10 life rounds of ammunition while our
officers were discharging from a vessel. The
vehicle is a used Toyota Corolla 2004 model car
with chassis number 2T1BR32E54C309841.
“There are no suspects yet because we
discovered this when the vehicles were just
coming out of the vessel. But investigations are
ongoing on the owner of the vehicle so that we
can bring the culprits to book.
“Also, in a container with number MSCU718443/6
containing one used Nissan Armada 2007 model
with chassis number 5NIAA08A69N709779, we
discovered the following items: One Omini
American tactical rifle with number AR48634; one
Moaperg American Pump Action rifle with
number U648018.
“In addition to these two rifles, we also
discovered in the same container 3500 pieces of
Premier Hollow Point Airgun pallets and another
4000 pieces of Premier Hollow Point gun pallets.
There is also inside the container 26 parks of
already made foods for military use.
“Nine pieces of military bullet proof vests; military
helmets; military gas mask with two pairs of
glasses; and two pairs of military boots. We have
one suspect with us. The name of the suspect is
Mr Christian Mbachi. We will be handing the
suspect and all the seized military hardware to
the DSS for further investigations.
“In this yuletide period, the security of this
country should be paramount to everybody. Why
will somebody bring in all this military hardware
and ammunitions into the country, putting them
inside a container tagged ‘Personal Effect
Container’.
“A personal effect container does not pay duty.
This is so because government wants to
encourage Nigerians coming back home. So, if
government has graciously granted such a waiver
for Personal Effect Containers, should people
abuse it by bringing in military ammunitions and
hardware inside such containers?”
It would be recalled that the Tin-Can Customs
Command had intercepted a container load of
ready-to-eat local foods imported from India at
the Tin-Can Island Port.

Politics / Bill Seeking To Make Sharia A Federal Law Quietly Passes 2nd Reading by lonecat: 7:19pm On Nov 04, 2016
was shocked to watch the live proceedings of the House of Representatives as covered by NTA2 and saw that the bill calling for the criminal aspects of Islamic Sharia law to be implemented in our legal system in Nigeria at the Federal and states passed the second reading on Thursday, October 28, 2016.

I was even more shocked because even though there were many Christians in the House no one raised an objection!

The Speaker of the House, Hon Yakubu Dogara, who presided over the proceedings said that what this meant was that it would now move to committee level where it will be discussed fully before the House would decide on it finally, but it is curious that not even one voice of dissent was aired against it!

I waited till 9pm to hear what NTA Network news would report about it, but there was a blackout of reportage about it!

Of course, other issues discussed and decided in the House on same day were reported but not this one! The bill to amend the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to make provision for the full implementation of Sharia Criminal law at the federal and states legal system has passed the second reading in the House of Representatives and no one is telling Nigerians what is happening!

For all we know, when a bill passes the second reading unchallenged in parliament it is almost as good as passed.

Long before the 2nd Republic, Muslim leaders in Nigeria have always agitated for the full implementation of Sharia in Nigeria. Nobody has forgotten the hot debates that took place in the Constituent Assembly of 1978 about the place of Sharia in the 1979 Constitution.

Christian members kicked against the full implementation of full Sharia because non-Muslims would fall victim of this law. In the end, a compromise was reached that the Sharia Personal Law be allowed, not the criminal aspects.

The same thing that happened in 1988 Constituent Assembly that produced the 1989 Constitution, which never took off. In fact, in the 1988 Constituent Assembly, General Ibrahim Babangida, then Nigeria’s self-styled military president, had to stop all debates relating to Sharia and other sensitive issues when he saw how inflammable the debates were becoming, and retained the status quo.

The 1999 Constitution drew much from both the 1979 and 1989 Constitutions and retained Sharia Personal law.

Now, Muslims, under President Muhammadu Buhari have surreptitiously attempted to amend the Constitution to insert the full implementation of Sharia without carrying Nigerians along!

Muslim leaders have always argued that Sharia law is meant for Muslims only. But Christians have always refused to buy the argument because in practice, non-Muslims have often been dragged before Shariacourts and have been adjudicated by a legal system repugnant to their faith. Several documented cases abound to prove this.

Besides, Christians have always argued why the government that is supposed to be neutral to all religions should uphold the religious laws of one religion with public funds to the harm of the adherents of other faiths.

These are some of the issues that make some of us to take with a pinch of salt the claims that President Buhari means well for this country. Our job is to bring these issues to the fore to create awareness of what is happening. Whatever happens afterwards is beyond our power. It’s up to you all.

Yes the rogues knows themselfs but not when you are frustrating my government. We all need this country to work so let us all support Mr president.
did you say support him?
Hell no!!!
anything short of democracy count me out.
this is certainly not a democratic way of doing things.
-stopping people from a peaceful protest (even in UK & U.S, people are allowed to protest peacefully)
-killing unarmed protesters
-ignoring court orders (if he feels all the judges are corrupt & no court can pass a true judgement then he should close down all the courts in d country because it's not only ordinary citizens case he should allow corrupt judges to preside overnight)
- unlawful adoption of men from their various homes thereby terrifying their family members
-sending DSS to arrest a state house of assembly members for trying to impeach the governor (which is their duty as stipulated by the law)
the list just goes on.
no matter how corrupt people are, there are ways to fight them within the ambient of the law, u don't just come up with ur own style of governance overnight & u will expect sane people to support it.
we have 3 arms of government but the other 2 arms are been neglected, the executive now does everything.

The presidency did not withdraw the case against So and DSP. Actually, they did that so they can charge them to court separately.
Turning blind eye to SGF /IDP case? You are aware the Senate is looking into that. So far, it's a rumour no concrete evidence.
Dogara has come out to denie all the allegations, actually what he did is a normal thing in NA. Is it right? well life is not fair
so they can charge them to court separately really? oh c'mon u can do better than this.
on the case of the SGF, it was the panel set up by NA that uncovered the N270m grass clearing issue & he has been invited but he declined to appear before d house, so it's not a rumor.
Dogara coming out to deny the allegations doesn't make it any less true. what about all the evidences?
watch how the corruption allegations against the judges will die naturally. keep ur fingers crossed.
Just understand that these rogues knows themselves

Yes, everyone is corrupt but no one goes to jail is that the fault of the gov? Thats why buhari said his biggest headache is the judiciary. Imagine someone like ibori been declared a saint by our judiciary but hes now in prison in London. The thief's in robe are the biggest thief's
is it the judiciary that asked the federal government to withdraw the forgery case against SP & DSP?
is it the judiciary that asked the federal government to turn a blind eye against the SGF who cleared grass at the IDP camp with N270m?
is it the judiciary that asked the federal government to ignore the padding case against Hon. Dogara despite all the damning evidences against him?

shadeyinka:


Strong drink actually mean something like spirit/wine with strong alcoholic content.

Strong drink by itself is not a sin, but drunkenness is a sin.


Jesus was accused of mixing with sinners:
Luk 7:34
Holy communion used to contain some wine
1Co 11:21

But the defacto standard for Christians is:



As much as possible, alcoholic or not alcoholic a christian must NOT be controlled by what he drinks.

I will rather NOT drink than allow a weak brother not having my self control go into the sin of drunkenness

Now, back to you OP, is this your question for the sake of a justifying reason to drink alcohol?

God knows your motive: it is certainly not that which goes into the stomach that pollutes the body; it is that which comes out. What is coming out of your heart, mouth and actions....

Hope your question is answered!
nothing to justify because I don't have a reason not to drink alcohol since the bible didn't specifically say I shouldn't (at least from your explanation; I just don't have to get drunk).
I only wanted to know if it's ok to drink in the house of God
