Events / Re: Priest Smiles As Bride & Groom Kiss In Church (Photos) by mekzone: 9:51pm On Nov 04, 2017
Looking at the church interior and the vestments of the 'priest' in question this not a Catholic church nor is he a catholic clergyman.

It appears more probably Anglican which means he may actually be married besides the Catholic nuptial liturgy in Nigeria generally don't use the 'you may kiss the bride' invitation when the wedding is being celebrated within a mass.

Politics / Re: Why Power Supply Improved Under Buhari, By Nebo by mekzone: 6:58pm On Oct 12, 2015
asuustrike2009:

Sorry to divert a little, a NEPA staff once said that the person in charge of control room dictate supply of power to communities and at times. If they don't send him recharge card, he wouldn't switch on the supply of power. At times he sells power to other commodities that bribe him. What is your say on this?

This is very true in Agungi, Lekki where I live for some strange reason our transformer develops fault every weekend (starting precisely from Friday evening) and is miraculously resolved on Monday afternoon like clockwork. This is the same thing every public holiday.

NL is just grooming hediots this days. What will you have done if you are the president of Nigeria and a high-profile terrorist gains entry to the country with a forged passport and a different name ?

The simple fact that he was detected at the Beirut airport is an indictment on the Nigerian immigration system that issued that visa. If he can be detected despite using a forged passport with different name at the airport, then the system that wrongfully issued him such visa needs to be investigated.

The persons that gave him an invitation letter should be called in in for questioning

Not a big deal. I think you should listen to Vladimir Putin the president of Russia or Kim Jong-un the president of North Korea when they speak or give public addresses, then you'll know buhari's english is better. The fact that buhari has a poor accent doesn't mean he can't speak good english.
PDP followers just be hating on buhari anyhow.

Ride on baba.
#sai_buhari...

Wrong comparison...Russia and North Korea are not English speaking. As for his accent I can always forgive an accent. In all I most say that his English is not bad, his tenses are always correct and he strings his words better than his predecessor.

NDLEA can investigate to be sure it's not from drug smuggling activity but I know for a fact that many small oil service firms get paid amounts in excess of this for services rendered to IOCs and frankly all of them will readily sell these dollar earnings in the parallel market than exchange it at bank rate and frankly they have the right.

Religion / Re: Top 10 Astonishing Miracles (international) by mekzone: 6:30pm On Aug 03, 2014
The catholic church has never described these events as miracles. Some of them are at best described as confirmed apparitions and epiphanies. We have many confirmed miracles which are usually subject to immense medical, administrative and spiritual scrutiny before being officially declared.

I am aware that two of these pictures are confirmed marian apparitions in the roman catholic church but are not necessarily essential articles of faith but are recognized as true events and revelations (many of which have come true).

I doubt this is UNIBEN's faculty of law...the law faculty was in a very modern complex with real theatre like classes while I was there between 1997 and 2000. Also law students had a white and black formal dress code.

Career / Re: What If You Were In "Oga At The Top's" Shoe? by mekzone: 5:35pm On Mar 16, 2013
I sincerely empathize with Mr. Shem for the cruel way he has been excessively mocked and caricatured in the Nigerian social media space.

Given, his performance at the interview was way below expectation and should warrant some form of sanction.....however I have never known Nigerian government agencies to employ ivy league quality personnel and frankly many with such quality would rather not work in the civil service....for obvious reasons.

Shem is a product of our shabby public education system (destroyed by years of military rule) and is no different from many of the individuals that have mocked him incessantly and cruelly in the social media.

Many of these pinging, mohawk sporting and sagged jeans wearing youth are just as uninformed about contemporary matters....I wish they showed the same zeal in flaying The Presidency's controversial state pardons last week as they have with this 'oga at the top' craze.

Sometimes I fear we are cursed with a shallow generation that think being able to 'ping' , 'tweet' or post on You Tube makes them more educated than Shem is.

Politics / Re: Families Of Dana Crash Victims Protest Over Non-payment Of Claims by mekzone: 3:34pm On Jan 24, 2013
The compensation is handled by the insurance company not the airline itself. Dana was fully insured. So as long as the affected parties have all necessary documentation they will be fully compensated. I think the insurers just want to be careful not to pay the wrong people.
Education / Re: The Ten Oldest Secondary Schools In Nigeria? by mekzone: 10:58pm On Jan 20, 2013
St. Theresa's Minor Seminary, Ibadan.....1901

Catholic secondary school for boys (with an eye for priestly vocation)...definitely the oldest privately (catholic mission) owned secondary school in Nigeria that was never taken over by government....still a historical wonder to behold. Located on Oke Are hill in Ancient Ibadan.
