You all read a post earlier today written by Stella Dimoko Korkus about an incident that supposedly happened yesterday between actress Mercy Aigbe and her husband, Lanre Gentry. The TV channel that hosted Mercy yesterday, V-Channel, has released a statement denying any such incident occurred. See the statement below. Re-Actress, Mercy Aigbe Disgraced by Her Husband The above subject matter refers. After reading the latest lie from Stella Dimoko, one can only conclude that the blogger is on a poorly orchestrated vendetta against Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, a successful actress, wife and mother. It is also easy to deduce from the incoherent and watery 'report' that Mrs Dimoko has no idea what journalism or blogging is all about because the story comes across as fiction from a puerile, retrogressive and unproductive mind. More when you continue... Stella fictitiously and wickedly averred in her report that Mr. Lanre Gentry, husband of frontline Yoruba actress, Mercy Aigbe pummelled her after finding her in a night gown inside a hotel room. This is nothing but a figment of Stella’s myopic and infantile imagination. While not joining issues with a blogger who knows zilch about the tenets of journalism considering her antecedents, we would summarise what happened yesterday for the sake of clarity and Mrs Gentry's legion of discerning fans. Indeed, Mercy was hosted by indigenous television station on Startimes, Odua Mounmarowan, on Sunday evening. She came to the event with her friends, younger sister and Faith Irabor, a journalist in her car. However, Mr. Gentry came in from his hotel in Oregun, Lagos. The event was well-attended by movie and media personalities. Immediately after the event, Mercy went to the changing room allotted to her in company of her husband and Faith Irabor. On getting to the car park, however, Mercy’s car didn’t start; so she joined her husband with her friends and left for Oregun, her husband's hotel. In all of these, one can’t get where Stella got her concocted report from. Mr Gentry left the venue happy as the event was successful and without hiccups. As at the time the couple left, the musician specially invited to perform, Sunny Melody was still performing. We are therefore confused as to where Mrs Dimoko got her story from? The moon, perhaps. Why does Mrs Dimoko keep publishing lies all in the name of journalism? Is she not happy that a younger woman, Mercy, has a flourishing career as an actor and producer and also enjoys domestic felicity? Mrs Dimoko, these are things God can do for you too if you stopped destroying homes and people. Having said these, we challenge Mrs Dimoko to furnish the public with evidence of Gentry’s anger and battery, or Mercy leaving in a nightgown. We strongly believe that those who mean well for journalism should not watch people like this blogger drag the noble profession through the mud. |
Thanks to a new software developed recently in Monaco, parents can now see hi-tech photos of their unborn babies. The software creates the images by adding colour, skin texture, lighting and shadows to normal ultrasound scans...and it also helps doctors detect problems earlier. The photo above right in black and white is the old style ultrasound scan. I like this new one. Long live technology! |
Please, pastors in the house, I need a detailed explanation on these two verses of the bible Matthew 14:8 (KJV) 8[And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.] AND Mark 6:23-24 (KJV) 23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24[And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.] Did king Herod's daughter inquire from her mother, of what to ask from her father before or after she danced or after she |
Dear All, Nigeria is presently mourning one of her sensational music artiste Susan Harvey known as ‘Goldie’ who allegedly died on Thursday, 14th February from a health condition called DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS( DVT) This is indeed the right time to talk about the Causes & Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis which unfortunately is a deadly health condition prevalent in Nigeria. About Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) DVT happens when a blood clot forms in a deep vein. DVT is most common in the deep veins of your lower leg (calf). It can also develop in the deep veins in your thigh and, more rarely, in other deep veins, such as the ones in your arm or pelvis. Deep veins pass through the centre of your leg and are surrounded by a layer of muscle. Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Blood clots can partly or completely block the blood flow in your vein and cause symptoms in your affected leg or arm such as: swelling pain and tenderness - you may also find it difficult to stand properly with your full weight on the affected leg a change in the colour of your skin, for example, redness skin that feels warm or hot to the touch a mild fever Although these symptoms may not be caused by DVT, if you have these symptoms you should visit your GP for advice. Causes of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) You are more likely to get a DVT if you: are a woman taking a contraception pill that contains oestrogen, or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are pregnant or have recently had a baby smoke are immobile, for example, if you have had an operation (especially on your hip or knee) or are bed bound have had a blood clot in a vein before have a family history of blood clots in veins have an inherited condition causing your blood to clot more easily (this is called thrombophilia) are very overweight (obese) have cancer, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease or other long-term illnesses have a condition where your blood is at a higher risk of clotting than normal (antiphospholipid syndrome) are travelling for long distances and aren’t able to move your legs Travel risks There is evidence that long-haul flights (lasting over four hours) can increase your risk of developing DVT. The risk is mainly the result of sitting down for long periods of time, which can happen during any form of long-distance travel, whether by car, bus, train or air. Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) There are things you can do to reduce your risk, such as stopping smoking if you smoke, or losing weight if you're overweight. Regular walking can help to improve the circulation in your legs and help to prevent another DVT from developing. If you have had a DVT, you can usually start walking once you get home from the hospital, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. If you're having surgery Surgery and some medical treatments can increase your risk of developing DVT. So, if you're going to hospital for an operation, you will usually have an assessment to check your risk of developing DVT before you have your operation. There are many things that can be done to keep your risk of developing DVT during surgery as low as possible. You may be given anticoagulant medicines before and after surgery, or be asked to wear compression stockings. You may also be given a mechanical pump to use on your feet and legs in the first few days after the operation. This is called an intermittent compression device. The pump automatically squeezes your feet and lower legs to help your blood circulate. If you're travelling If you have recently been treated for DVT, you should wait two weeks before travelling on longer journeys. There are some steps you can take to reduce your chances of developing a blood clot on journeys of over four hours. For example, you should: take short walks – if you're a passenger, walk up and down the aisle of the train or plane exercise the muscles of your lower legs, which act as a pump for the blood in your veins – regularly bend and straighten your toes, ankles and legs wear loose-fitting clothes keep hydrated by making sure you drink enough water not drink too much alcohol or too many drinks that contain caffeine, such as coffee not take sleeping tablets, as these will stop you keeping your legs active wear compression stockings if you have other risk factors for DVT. Always remember that your life is in your hands, unhealthy lifestyles would lead to premature death. It is very important to develop healthy lifestyle and always go for medical checkups . Not all cases of sudden death are caused by ‘spiritual bullets’ Best Regards |

[/color]President Goodluck Jonathan has again lashed out at ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, describing him as a confused man unstable in his views regarding government’s handing of the protracted Boko Haram insurgency. Mr. Jonathan, who spoke through his spokesperson, Reuben Abati, was reacting to Mr. Obasanjo’s comment in a CNN interview that the president had been deploying excessive force and exploring little or no dialogue in solving the Boko Haram problem. “To deal with a group like that, you need a carrot and stick. The carrot is finding out how to reach out to them. When you try to reach out to them and they are not amenable to being reached out to, you have to use the stick,” Mr. Obasanjo reportedly said. An apparently angry Mr. Abati took to Twitter early this morning deploring the former president’s comment and labeling him a confused man whose counsel or view the government does not care about. In four different tweets this morning, the presidential spokesperson said, “In Nov. 2012 in Warri, fmr Prez. Obasanjo accused federal govt of being soft on Boko Haram. He recommended the Odi solution: genocide. “In Jan.2013, OBJ tells CNN Govt shd adopt a carrot and stick approach to Boko Haram. Genocide & dialogue? Where exactly does he stand? “OBJ’s position on Boko Haram= Contradiction and Confusion writ large. “One report says OBJ is recommending a multifaceted approach to Boko Haram. This govt certainly doesn’t need a lecture on that! “Jonathan administration has shown creativity & purposefulness in handling the BH challenge. Hence, the progress we witness.” Mr. Obasanjo first angered Mr. Jonathan after he suggested that the president appeared a weak leader given the way he was handling the security challenges facing the country. In his comment, the former President reminded the nation of how he directed security agencies to invade Odi, Rivers State, to fish out militants who killed some security men during his tenure. An angry Mr. Jonathan however hit back at Mr. Obasanjo during his last media chat, saying the Odi invasion Mr. Obasanjo boasted about did not solve the problem but only ended up shedding the blood of the innocent. Since then, elements loyal to the two men within the party have engaged one another in a war of words, and the national leadership of the party has been desperate for a reconciliation. But when a peace team, led by party chairman Bamanga Tukur, visited the ex-President in his Ota farm on December 15, Mr. Obasanjo insisted he would continue to comment on national issues whenever necessary not minding whose ox is gored.

The Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress, Mr. John Kolawole, has regretted that one year after labour acceded to the Federal Government’s call for an end to the strike and protests that greeeted the removal of fuel subsidy in January 2012, there had not been any noticeable changes. He said that all agreements reached with government remained unfulfilled, adding that the subsidy was being starved of funds, thereby deliberating creating scarcity of fuel and forcing Nigerians to pay through the nose for the commodity. “We agreed that the Federal Government would build new refineries, pass the Petroleum Industry Bill, among others. But one year after, they are still in the pipeline. We will not rest until government takes action on these issues,” he said. Although the FG has promised to retain subsidy in 2013, the labour scribe hinted that it would not hesitate to return to the trenches should government renege on its promise. “We will join any progressive action” he stated. “Actually, labour called the 2012 January strike before our partners joined. That was why the moment we withdrew, the protests collapsed. “The Federal Government is aware that if it attempts to remove subsidy without meeting those conditions, there will be instant reaction from labour, with or without our partners.” |

addictiv: In my home what my folks did is that since they both earn mum took care of feeding exclusively meaning that dad can't come back home she tells him that there is no money to buy garri. Dad took care of education fees, fuelling of cars and gen, our monthly allowances..........she earns more than him so apart From feeding and buying clothes for my sisters she has enough funds to take care of herself, which she does to the fullest.......little things like buying drugs if someone was sick or general household expenses were handled buy both parties depending on who was at home at the time of need but I think my mum took care of most of that generally.then when it came to major projects like building a house or buying a new car, trips abroad, it fell on my dad if he didn't have enough he borrowed from mum and usually paid back in due course or did he? Well that's almost all of it, he wasn't giving her monthly allowances but doesn't mean that he didn't spoil her silly. And if anyone was broke they borrowed from the other . They never fought or argued about their roles and that's how intend to follow mine....Thank you so so much. I have really benefited alot from people with great minds here on Nairaland. Thanks alot |
redfly: @Op the only folks championing ur wife's cause are d single ladies and frustrated house wives. It is illogical for her to earn a decent salary and still expect u to give her an allowance. If u can afford it comfortably then by all means feel free, but if u can't then explain it to her afterall she is ur wife. If she still insists- make she go hug transformer.I want to say a very big thank you to every one that has responded to my post especially this one above. Happy new year to all of you |

Chelsea have announced that manager Roberto Di Matteo has parted company with the club. A statement on the club's official website read: "Chelsea Football Club has parted company this morning with Manager Roberto Di Matteo. "The team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season. "The club faces a difficult task ahead in qualifying for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League as well as maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier League while competing in three other cup competitions. Our aim is to remain as competitive as possible and challenge strongly on all fronts. "The owner and the Board would like to thank Roberto for all he has done for the club since taking over in March. Roberto helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and a seventh FA Cup. We will never forget the huge contribution he has made to this club's history and he will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge. "The club will be making an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager." |
Admin Fields Highlight on homepage: No Top Item: Highlight as a Top Item caption: Mrs. Oritsejafor's limo By Ayobami Oyalowo There has been a lot of tittle-tattle lately as well as so many discordant tunes on the propriety or otherwise of jets and gifts to pastors and men of God. The debates have been loud and raucous with so many people speaking from a position of little or no information. A lot of emotive vibes and outrage, for or against the perceived or real manipulations by men who supposedly have been given charge over the souls of millions, has become public fodder. Everyone appears to be venting their spleen wherever you turn. Hosea 4:7-9 New King James Version (NKJV) 7 “The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of My people; They set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And it shall be: like people, like priest. So I will punish them for their ways, And reward them for their deeds. But what exactly should we do or say? Supporters of ostentatious and obviously manipulative men of the cloak are quick to put the critics in check by quoting “touch not mine anointed” lines ostensibly to show that men of “God” are above reproach and as such “lesser” men have no right whatsoever to criticize or condemn perceived wrong doings of these high men of “God.” But is this the case? Are these men truly above reproach? Is it biblical for the “under shepherd” to feed fat on the flock while the flock groans and hopes for a better day? All these we shall examine in this piece. Let me appeal that this treatise may exceed the usual length allowed for articles on this blog as it comes laden with supporting Bible passages, but I assure you, it will be worth your while. Take a sip of water and follow me patiently. And plead with your boss at work to learn from it as well if he frowns at you. Who knows, your boss may have unwittingly contributed to purchasing a Limo, Hummer or Private Jet for his Pastor lately. Christianity was first brought to the shores of Nigeria by the European missionaries in the early 1800s. When they came, they built hospitals and schools. In fact, many Nigerians aged late thirties and above, were products of missionary schools, which were either free or came with negligible or paltry school fees. The early missionaries and churches in Nigeria were predicated on love and social services to their immediate communities. Many people in the age range I quoted above got quality education and even health care, courtesy of missionaries and churches. But fast forward to the present day. Church members are coerced to part with money they barely have, with either a promise of God blessing them in return or with stern warnings of perpetual poverty or even threatened with the danger of hell if they refuse to give “cheerfully”. God’s blessing in church today is now for sale and even your offering must be spoken to, so that it can bring forth plenty harvest. (remember our local priests “babalawo” have a culture of asking clients to rub their bodies with monies and ask for whatever they wish for). As a matter of fact, a particular church I know, a few years ago had a special offering called ‘dominion jet offering’, where adherents were made to donate towards the “ministry’s” jet only for the jet to be converted for the use of the self styled Bishop later. *My lips are sealed* In the course of my research, I discovered that a teacher’s son in a secondary school of one of these various prosperity promising centers, who lives in the church enclave, could not afford to send his son to the school, as a teacher and also amember of the church. His son was rather sent to school in a nearby town. The modern Nigerian church tasks it’s members to donate towards various projects such as universities and elitist secondary schools, but curiously, the poorer members of such prosperity centers can neither send their wards or kids to such schools, neither do the churches have a program to cater for the poor amongst their flock. Unlike the early missionaries who accommodated both the rich and poor in their schools, it is no longer business as usual for the poor. You either sow and get rich so that your children can also benefit from the schools built by the church you attend or find a lesser alternative, while hoping for a better day! The Church has become a class conscious body. The passage in Act 4:34-35 which Reads: “(34) Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, (35) and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.” has been totally ignored. In Nigeria’s contrivances of prosperity churches, it is survival of the fittest, elimination of the “poor” or unfit. How wonderful, won’t you say? No longer are we our brother’s keeper. Like 50 Cent, we have resolved in churches to get rich or die trying. We have been told that prosperity is a sign of God’s favor to his own people, but after reading and studying the lives of great men of God– men who brought great revivals in their time– I had to ask if Jonathan Edwards, a man who preached and thousands wept to the altar in one day, yet he wasn’t rich, or Smith Wiggleswort, a plumber whom God used to heal many sick and raised a lot of dead men, yet wasn’t stupendously rich, were missing a trick. Tozer, John Wesley etc were great men of God, who neither built castles nor owned the choicest properties in their time, but they made such differences in the body of Christ so much so that till this day, their works still speak for them. Unlike our spirito-christian magicians, these men lived simple lives, but turned many around towards righteous and holy living. Their time was termed the period of the great revival in history. Severally we have been reprimanded to “touch not mine anointed” but is this the correct application of this scripture? In which context was this phrase used? It is found in Psalm 105:15 and was repeated in 1Chronicles 16:22. That passage was written to praise the works of God when he took out Israel out of Egypt and saved them from harm, even though they were few. It was never about a pastor or a leader, it was written to praise God in taking care of a called out people. Anointed vessels are men who allow God to do his bidding through them. Note that those people who must do his bidding must be “called out” and what is the “church”? It simply means “the called out ones”. Therefore that Passage can also mean “touch not the church”. Do NOT be deceived, it was never written to protect or immune “penterascality” or ‘pastopreneurs’ from criticism. It was written as a mark or seal of God’s protection upon his chosen ones. The concept of giving and speaking to your money to work for you is another strange doctrine that has been introduced to make unsuspecting and unlearned Christians to part with their money without question. Several times they have called this subtle extortion mechanism: ‘seed’, claiming the passage of seed time and harvest in Genesis 8:22. But God was not using seed figuratively. It was a definite and correct use. In fact he said; the summer, winter etc shall not cease. You don’t pay for God’s blessings. Obed edom was blessed in 2 Samuel 6:10-12 not because he paid God aspecial seed but because the presence of God dwelt within him and his household. Unlike the short-cut pay and receive theology of our modern day pastors, God’s blessings dwell securely in his presence. It is better to live holy and have God on your side, than give plenty, while continuing in sin. There is nothing wrong in showering your pastors with gifts, but let’s look at some biblical examples of men that God used mightily. Were they louts, who busied themselves with soliciting gifts or were they men who had reasonable sources of income? Amos was a great prophet but hear him in Amos 7:14-15: 14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and agatherer of sycomore fruit: 15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, ‘Go, prophesy unto my people Israel’. And let’s look at Paul, one of the greatest apostles who ever lived. Acts 18:1-3: 18 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome and came unto them.3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. He was a tent maker. He HAD A JOB. He was no lout neither was he a beggar or a manipulator. His hands provided for his needs. I wish to bring a few scriptures to light in Philippians 3:18-19 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) and 2 Timothy 3:1-2 3: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, It is very clear that we are approaching the last days and like Jesus said, “shall I find faith on earth”? It a question we all should ponder on. Ask yourself, what is the purpose of your Christian faith? Is it to serve God or marmon? Is amassing worldly cash and acquiring worldly goods the reason Christ died on the cross? Do not get me wrong, being prosperous in not a sin, but it is written in 2Timothy 2:4: No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And in Colosians 2:9, we read: For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead, bodily. If God is genuinely sought, he will be found. Having the presence of God dwelling in you is a guarantee of his fulness. The rate at which wrong doctrines are taught and imbibed is alarming and this is a pointer to alarming biblical illiteracy levels among Christians. As God said, ‘like people like priests’. 1Peter 4:17 17: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins with us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”. What is the gospel of God? I doubt if it means amassing wealth or accumulating worldly goods. Pastors must be careful in fleecing the flock as it is written that The souls of those in their care will be required of them. Our peculiar situation shows clearly that there are fundamental flaws in the teachings of the church as written in our opening scripture. Hosea, as quoted above, suggests that as the priests (pastors, bishops, archbishops, General overseers etc) are increasing, so is iniquity and sin on the rise. Looking at Nigeria today, we have a church in almost every corner, yet the crime and immorality rates are rising exponentially. It is time for the men of GOD to face their true calling which is preaching the gospel. But if they persist in milking the flock, God said he will use even stones, to achieve his aims, if men refuse to do his bidding. Study the scriptures and be diligent. Do not let a man created in ‘like-passions’ pull a wool over your eyes in the name of God. A lie can travel very fast in time, but in one swift moment, the truth will pursue, overtake and annihilate it. There is too much hot air emanating from our pulpits, but where is the fire of revival? I can be engaged on twitter @Ayourb |
This is what we have been saying, you can see that there is no project going on at Ibeju-Lekki axis, but when it comes to milking money from the state, that axis will be at the fore front, can't you see why we no longer want ACN in this state?? Tinibu collected the lands of the people without nothing in return, then, asked them to pay toll for the road Latiff Jankande constructed. We are waiting for 2015 election. |

Malachi 3:10 (KJV) 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. In my own opinion, the Bible said in the scripture above, that we should bring it into the store house of the lord, so where will you regard as the store house of God ? The Church of course |
LORD LUGARD ON NIGERIANS AND AFRICANS IN GENERAL 1926 In character and temperament" wrote Lord Lugard, "the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than the that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organized religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural" He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility ....he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal -an instinct rather than a moral virtue ......In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy .......Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his ability to visualize the future" |
