Yyeske: Yet some especially members of that terrorist group will come after election and start shouting Fulani born to rule attitude is their reason for wanting to form their own country
bcuz the fulanis after wanting to leave nigeria after the counter coup were told by the british to stay in nigeria. that coup was carried out with the explicit purpose to secede no brit should force anyone to a false union whenever i ask wat ndigbo have in common with hausas or yorubas all i get is silence. i'm sure u have seen it here but lemme state it again the average igbo man cares less about who is president he wants a level playing field
mercydaniel: look at u? so selfish have you for one day appricciated a police officer? is it not d negative side ppl look for in d police? so many officers have died protecting d life of d public but all efforts dey still get kastigated bcus of some, others are same, atlist if there efforts are been recognized dey I'll do more. look at u saying it is his duty to die and d type of u still say evil abt dem .After d suffering.
u can see me saluting his bravery but cmon the basic duty of security agencies is to protect and serve police officers who die in other climes are recognised and honoured but u and i know why the nigerian police was ranked the worst in the world its a reflection of our society in which honour has been thrown to the dogs and the get rich quick syndrome has taken roots again i appreciate his bravery but signing up for any security agency u are told u may die in line of action that one is not for writing like end user and terms and conditions agreement
BoneBlogger: The family of late Sergeant Chukwudi Iboko who was killed in a Zenith bank robbery last year on Wetheral Road, Owerri in Imo state - has been given a reason to smile again. According to reports, about eight million naira was raised for the family of the late police officer at the 15th Sun Awards, held at the Expo Convention Centre of Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos on Saturday.
For the deceased's rare display of bravery, he was bestowed with the Hero of the Year award. The late sergeant Chikwudi Iboko received a posthumous award as the management of Sun Newspaper gave N300,000 to his widow.
His seven children were also offered scholarships up to the university level by the management of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The family got N500K from the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus on behalf of the party and donations from other well meaning citizens.
The cop lost his life after confronting a four-man gang in a gun battle, which was captured on a Closed Circuit Television camera.
In a video posted online, the victim could be seen firing at the robbers before running out of a security post.
He was reported to have been injured during the incident and was admitted to a hospital where he died the following day.
For the deceased's rare display of bravery" isn't dis supposed to be a basic requirement when joining law enforcement? the security guard in the florida school shooting resigned due to inaction note that im in no way diminishing the late cop's action but he did his job
Osinbanjo is not a man of God, He has never been, And he will never be.
For the bible says "Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14
No true Christian will team up with a man as evil as Buhari. Worse still, he defends Buhari's bad leadership with lies. Which child of God tells lies?
I have a word from the Lord for Osinbanjo, Sarrki, Ngeneukwuenu, IkpuNnu, Madridguy and other BMC staff. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20.
bigt2: No, the one with captain price, Sgt Griggs, etc. The final scene has the bridge collapsing and you'll have to withstand a heavy fire then choppers come inbound to kill others while price slides a pistol to you to take the three terrorist out with the one in the middle being zhqakaev or so (the one you snipped his hand off when making a deal in all ghilled up)
dabwan123: Freeze is an antichrist self-acclaimed preacher.... Whoever follows him will meet their doom in hellfire. Even if he's right, which definitely he is NOT, he's going about it the wrong way. He's an agent of darkness seeking to cause confusion in the body of Christ. He's only making mockery of himself and not of the Church of God. You. Could see hatred, anger and wickedness in his writings against some servants of God. Not that I agree with everything being done by some so-called men of God. But I wouldn't go the way he's doing it. It's clear he's working for his master the devil, using the word of God like the devil did while tempting Christ in the wilderness. Whoever knows Freeze should advice him to freeze or he'll regret it all thru eternity. I rest my case
Solomonudofia: Deeper Life founder, Pastor William Kumuyi has come out to say that he will be removing some of his doctrines.
Of course, Daddy Freeze was quick to point out a second ‘confession’ from a highly respected and renowned pastor in less than 24 hours.
The controversial OAP shared a post on Instagram showing Pastor Kumuyi’s tweet which is bound to have thrown the Deeper Life Ministry into chaos.
Daddy Freeze and the revolution that is Free Nation
Daddy freeze has quickly made a name for himself by creating a niche that tackles age-old Christian religious doctrines.
Being an OAP for popular radio station, Cool FM, gave him the platform he needed to lend his voice to every controversy that popped up among Nigerians.
However, he finally got our attention when he broached topics that were discussed in hushed tones or not at all in Nigerian Christian homes.
Earlier today, we reported that Daddy Freeze shared Benny Hinn post in which he admits to the fact that he may have overworked the prosperity teachings than was needed.
The controversial faith-healing televangelist said this in a shocking confession on Wednesday, February 21, in the wake of the death of renowned evangelist Billy Graham.
Daddy freeze was quick to share a post on Hinn’s admission, saying that “the thieves have started confessing,” captioning the post: “The thieves have started confessing.”
Daddy Freeze has also revealed via another Instagram post that when creating the branding for his drive, Free Nation, it was “ministered to me to make it about Christ, NOT about me.”
Daddy Freeze and tithing
Daddy Freeze’s anti-tithing protest gained a lot of attention this year. Apart from the attention, it also resulted in amazing things.
The Cool FM OAP really started his religious campaign and #freeTheSheeple movement sometime in 2016.
Since then, it has led to the some pretty awesome incidents.
In one of his Youtube videos, the Cool FM on-air personality and religious activist insists that God does not need our money.
He urged Christians to ask before doing paying tithe, offerings and anything in general.
Referring to instances of Pastors lying and taking advantage, Daddy Freeze also advised people to first understand everything before acting.
Navalsadiq: we are not talking about school Oga.we are talking a wide spread populace.i have stayed in owerri,urka,ihiagwa,obinze.so I know what am talking about
iz it my fault say yoruba no like travel besides u said accomodating now u switched it up to its not skul dats how una say amaechi no be igbo but one of ur brodas is calling him igbo
kettykings: My brother Nigeria is finished what is happening in Nigeria is worse than what is happening in somalia no doubt but while Nigeria is going down the drain igbos should not be used as cannon fodder , a country whe ihejirka former COAS is facing EFCC and his director of procurement Buratai is walking free is a satanic enclave ruled by demons. A country where unarmed protesters are shot dead while armed herdsmen are given VIP treatment is a buried country , Igbos need utmost wisdom now , if voting buhari will help igbos in 2023 then so be it.
I know Nigerians from other parts of the country who would rather vote satan than vote an Igbo man to power , they are already calculating how they will backstab igbos in 2023
then truly u do not understand d igbo man the igbo man is not power crazy
kettykings: as for Buhari , a million buharis has nothing to offer Nigeria beyond what is happneing now , Nigeria would have performed better without a president and a vice president , Buhari has not added a single value to Nigeria since he was elected, he has les than 12 months to end of first half and there IDPS every where and grave of innocent people in benue and taraba his anti corruption at best is the worst witch hunting that ever took place.
But iwould rather we vote him to have a stake in 2019 than loose out finally , imagine a situation where we dont vote him and the useless Almajiris in the North with the imbeciles in the west vote him, it would lead to further political marginalisation of the east which some how is good for igbos because igbos thrive better when oppresed or marginalised. but then when 2023 comes how wil igbos fare ?
who is we? who is voting buhari in SE? if igbo ppl pursue smtin bet it dat tin will be caught igbo ppl want a level playing ground no sane igbo person is shoutin igbo president at this point
Solomonudofia: The British military has offered to assist the Nigerian Army in the search and rescue operation launched for the 105 girls kidnapped in Dapchi, Yobe State.
The Guardian reports that the British army led by Major Ian Robertson, the general advisor, British Military Advisory and Training Team (BMATT) in Nigeria, recently made this known.
Condemning the attack and kidnapping of the school girls from Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Dapchi, Robertson lamented the fact that girls’ schools have become soft targets for insurgents.
In his words: “Having heard about this particular issue recently, I am still trying to get more information about what is going on, but it is clearly very disappointing that something like this has happened, that the girls have been taken.
“But let me reassure you, from the British military perspective, that we are monitoring the event quite closely and we are cooperating with the armed forces of Nigeria to see how we can assist.”
On Monday, February 19, 2018, the men of the Boko Haram sect invaded a part of Yobe State including the Government Girls Secondary School in Dapchi kidnapping several students and reigning terror on the school and the village.
According to a forum of parents of missing students, the number of girls in captivity have been given as 105.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the girls kidnap saying it’s a national disaster.
US condemns kidnap of school girls in Yobe
The United States of America condemned the abduction of over 90 school girls from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe state.
The Spokesperson of the US Department of State, Ms Heather Nauert, at a press briefing on Thursday, said “We are still trying to get all the details about that but we wanted to mention that we condemn in the strongest possible terms the terror attack on a school earlier this week in north-eastern Nigeria.
“The choice of targets including schools, markets and places of worship reflect the brutality of terror organisations.
“The victims in the attacks were girls who were simply seeking an education.”
“We continue to support Nigeria’s efforts to counter the terror group.
“We also support Nigeria’s efforts to enable more than two million displaced in the Lake Chad region to return home safely.
“United States continues to provide humanitarian assistance to those who were affected by the violence,” Nauert added.
111 Yobe school girls unaccounted for
The Police Commissioner in Yobe, Abdulmaliki Sumonu, on Wednesday, confirmed that 111 girls were still unaccounted for following Monday’s attack by Boko Haram insurgents.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the insurgents who attacked the school looted foodstuff, while the staff and students ran into the bush for safety.
OBALORLA: As a child, we lived in a face-me-I-face-you apartment where Iya Bukky during one of her weekly tales by moonlight told us about a sacred spring in her hometown (Ekiti) where two bodies of water (one very cold and the other so hot that it can be used in making Eba) flowed continuously.
I have since then nurtured the ambition of visiting this mysterious site provided I still breath in air. The lifelong dream finally came to pass on the 2nd of February 2018 when Mr Tayo Sonuga of Haven Homes sponsored my quest.
The Journey The fear of repeating what happened on my trip to the suspended Lake in Ado Awaye made me wake up as early as 4:30am even though I barely slept throughout the night, I bathed and left with my bag already stuffed with my most important travelling items.
The goal was simple: get to the bus park before 6am and Leave Lagos with the very first bus destined for Ekiti. So I dashed off to Sabo bus stop, joined a bus (N150) to Ojota, where I was fortunate enough to be the fourth passenger aboard the 14-seater bus. This gave me the golden opportunity of choosing a befitting seat in the middle row just by the window. I gladly paid the required N2,500 to the bus conductor and didn’t bother about the departure time.
Departure and Arrival Since leaving the park by 8:12am, the bus stopped only on two occasions, first was at a gas station to refuel and the second was when a woman behind me threatened that she’d poo in the bus if the driver didn’t stop for her. I remained rooted to my seat since one of the rules I learnt which worked wonders was to never eat anything until I’m half way into the journey.
Abenimenu Hotel: watery first impression 2:15PM On alighting at Aramoko junction, about 10 bikers raced towards me. You’d think feed just poured into a catfish pond. Each with the goal of carrying the newly arrived Lagos prince. I spent about 5 seconds enjoying the moment before I finally decided on going with David because he was the most responsibly dressed.
“Take me to a Hotel”, I said as soon as I hopped on his bike. And like he already knew my intentions, he sped off without uttering a word. Whilst on transit, I asked if he knew where the popular Ikogosi warm and cold spring was, and he started a story of how he had been there more than any other biker in town. Whether or not he was lying wasn’t my concern. I punched his number on my phone on getting to the hotel’s gate, gave him N100 instead of the N150 he had initially requested as I made my way to the reception, he kicked his bike back to life and disappeared into the thick fog.
“I can’t stay here”. I muttered to myself as Tola (not the real name of the daughter of the hotel owner who also doubled as the hotel attendant) gave me a tour around the one storey building where the family also lived.
“Please come and take me elsewhere”, I blurted over the phone to David as soon as I stepped outside the gate. He must have sensed my trouble judging by the speed he arrived with. He didn’t ask me further questions.
A night at Agbadaoje guest house (where I waited for Damola, my supposed host on this trip) costs N3,000. The rooms contained just the most basic of needs. A good bed, Fan, working table and a clean toilet, all of which the previous hotel lacked. The most important feature was that Unlike Abenimenu, they’d power the generator by 6pm and run it all through the night.
I had squatted with Damola from my 2nd to 4th year in school and I hadn’t seen him since I last hosted him in my hood. I let out a soft smile when his call came in few seconds after I had settled, so it wasn’t difficult for David to return in time to take us to Ikogosi.
At Ikogosi Warm and Cold Spring The road which leads to Ikogosi from Aramoko was so smooth that we got tired of the ride. The more defiant the bike was at getting us to our destination, the fiercer wind forced tears out of my eyes. Shrubs of trees wiped our legs at every bend. David too didn’t disappoint as he did all he could to make us believe Fayose is the best thing to happen to Nigeria after Jollof rice.
https://i0.wp.com/www.nomadicnegro.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/20180202_164753.jpg?resize=768%2C432 This road leads to Ikogosi
We finally arrived at Ikogosi by 3:20pm.
“A lot of planning must have gone into the construction of this edifice”, I thought within me as we ventured into the first gate. We soon got to the main entrance where the ticketing room sat confidently in front of the reception. We were billed to pay N500 each by a woman who seemed to be enjoying her job but we negotiated N1,000 for the three of us and she agreed.
We were left to our fate (as soon as payment was made) to venture into this forest alone without any guide. I asked if there were no tour guides available and the response was that they don’t come on Fridays. I became numb.
A few other persons were ahead of us so we followed suit along a wooden walkway as the flows from the spring in a calm manner made their way joyously beneath the bridge, emitting an uncoordinated string of sharp whispers in the process. One could see what was beneath the waters.
https://i0.wp.com/www.nomadicnegro.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_1863.jpg?resize=768%2C512 The uniqueness of Ikogosi lies in the fact that each of the two separate springs (cold and warm) still maintained its thermal properties until their meeting at a confluence with . Research suggested that the warm spring has a temperature of about 70oC at the source and 37oC at the confluence.
Save for the awesome road network leading to Ikogosi from Aramoko and how stunned I was on feeling the flow from both streams, I actually didn’t find the destination all that interesting. There was no form of adventure in Ikogosi Unlike the perilous climb at Erin Ijesha or the unending trek down the point of no return in the coast of Badagry.
Side Attractions There exists a mini store where food and drinks are sold and there’s also a swimming pool right in front of the bar for those who fancy swimming and drinking.
Since my mission was just to witness yet another Nigerian Tourist attraction, I wasted no time in summoning my team for a few more pictures before eventually leaving for Arinta Waterfall, which was just about 15 minutes ride away. The time was almost 4:00pm.
Arinta Waterfall At Arinta, we met no living thing (ok, I think we saw two butterflies mating at the gate) at the entrance because the place was locked. But we can’t afford to travel this far without accomplishing our aim, so we decided to take an alternative route just by the right side of the gate since the premises wasn’t fenced round. This was following Damola’s suggestion. though David was a little hesitant, but he later agreed to go with us.
Before going back to the hotel, David suggested we made a brief detour to a sacred river where it was rumoured that the fishes never died. It is said that whoever catches them for food is only deceiving himself because these fishes will never get cooked, no matter how angry the fire is.
He as well advised we go with bread as that’s what the fishes love so we bought N100 bread and fed it to them before leaving.
We decided it was ideal that we went in search of food so David wasted no time in suggesting a restaurant run by Ajala, a man I guess would be in his early 30s. I opted for a portion of pounded yam, Damola said he’d be fine with Ofada and David seemed cool with jollof rice. I handed Ajala N1,050 for the food, which was N350 for each person including the takeaway packs. Accompanied with a bottle of Origin, the pounded yam and goat meat arrived their respective destinations unhurt.
I handed David N2,500 for all his troubles and he promised to come back the following day to pick me when I was ready to go to Ondo.
I don’t know what I was discussing with Damola before I fell asleep but I woke up by 11:56pm for the toilet. As I emptied my bowel. I suspected that the vegetable I took with the pounded yam were the culprit. I wrote a bit about my day and read a few pages from my book before sleeping again by 2:00am, waking up 4 hours later to prepare for my final trip in South West Nigeria to Ondo.
I’m actually thinking this trip wasn’t that fun due to my robust expectations. Have you been to any of these places before? kindly share your experience using the comment section.
erm im sorry but if u were advertising for dat hotel u for just talk am camera or not dt bed looks neat try(and dis includes most nigerians to differentiate between a motel and a hotel)
PrecisionFx: Igbo men like Major Ademoyega, Major Victor Banjo, Capt. Adeleke Lt. Fola Oyewole exacted the first coup so that Igbo will be president .
""Ojukwu wasted 2 million Igbo lives just because he was denied all the power he demaned from Aburi accord""
Ojukwu went declared biafra on the back of an Igbo nationwide pogrom that killed over 30,000 igbosin 10 months. Only the weak Awusa licking Yoruba won't understand this .
