Christianity EtcRe: Apostle Suleman Demands N1bn From Keyamo For Damages by mesoprogress(m): 6:28am On Mar 10, 2017
Ralphlauren:
I can't believe some idiots are doubting the girl's story and pictures.

I am sure if a video was released showing this fake apostle moaning on top of this lady, some idiots will still not believe and claim its photo-shop or a body double.

People believed Ese Walters of the COZA scandal yet they doubt this lady? huh

I have no doubt at all in my mind that this fake apostle had sexual and indecent relationship with this lady. A lot of people know this is the utter and complete truth if they search their heart of hearts.

The girl has been threatening him for a long time to spill the details of their love affair. Apostle saw this coming hence all his fake prophesies about this year being a challenging year for him and that people will attack him. It's also possible he made the Fulani statement intentionally as he knew it would cause outrage and that would be his joker/trump card (he would claim political persecution) once the scandal was in the open. This is exactly what is playing out.

Apostle is an utter and complete disgrace to the Christian faith/clergy. He had an improper/indecent relationship with that girl.

This case can only get messier and his reputation is already in tatters. David (a man after God's heart) as evidenced in the Bible committed adultery and was instrumental in the death of the husband of the woman with whom he had adultery with. So I do not understand why Apostle is trying to lie about his indiscretion. Every man/woman has their weakness. His own is obviously WOMEN !!

All this damage control he is doing is nothing but a waste of time.

It wont cost the girl anything to obtain call logs from her phone provider in canada, bank statements, etc. I trust Keyamo. By the time further incriminating evidence are revealed, it will be the Apostle pleading for an out of court settlement.
Ese Walter's case is different. Ese is a decent girl with a conscience, this Otobo a stripper. Ese was a dedicated church member and worker, this one is something else. If Otobo was a decent Church member like Ese, nobody will doubt her allegation with or without evidence.

Again, Otobo is out to destroy, seeking services of a known political lawyer. Two aren't similar in anyway

These people have turned Christianity to something else. Angels would have destroyed earth save for God /Christ who requested they wait for the harvest, when the tare will be separated from the corn.

To be frank most churches springing about are just another business venture.

Then perhaps you should remove the insensitivity in your approach to issues...I find it ridiculous what Christians associate with God but that doesn't mean I start jumping up and down and mocking. That would be hurtful and inciting...but you from what you just said now don't care if a Muslim is hurt or not in discussing with them because according to you a Muslim is easily provoked. You will rather avoid stories from people that are not from your clan rather than be mindful of what you say...but come to think of it don't you know that proper nouns are to start with initial capitals?..let's leave religion out of it, if you don't start your name with a small letter why should start God with a small "g" but hey, you are just been mischievous isn't it? if you were to refer to God from another religion's perspective, you won't start with a small "g" will you?
God or god is correct depending on the context. But frankly, this should not be an issue. Christianity is one of the most criticized religions . Most times, they don't take offense because we believe our God is capable of fighting His wars. It's only a weak god that requires his subjects to fight on his behalf. Besides we serve a forgiving and a merciful God

It was the same true Muslims who deny terrorism that nearly killed a lady a few years ago in Sudan for apostasy.[i][/i]...but you forget to mention that its also the same true Muslims that are being relentlessly targeted by terrorists..did I hear say no?...there have been numerous attacks on Mosques by Boko Haram over the past months, but how many BH attacks have you heard about targeting Churches of recent?..when I hear people like Pope, Barack Obama etc speak, I am comforted that indeed all Christians are not bigots, but just as terrorists claiming to be Muslims, there are indeed some bigots who claim to be Christians
You see problem with you guys , you are easily provoked. Simply because I used "god" in small letters? This is the reason I can have a healthy religious conversation including criticism with other religions except you guys . You guys are easily provoked. I have had religious conversations with a Hindu, Buddhist without being afraid of offending them. I always avoid discussing religion with your clan to avoid stories that touch
Foreign AffairsRe: British Muslim Teacher Denied Entry To US On School Trip by mesoprogress(m): 5:16am On Feb 23, 2017
In as much as I don't support blanket ban on Muslims, l think Trump is making a point. Over the years, Muslims have denied terrorists are true Muslims, even though they kill in the name of Allah, their god. This has made them lackadaisical in fight against Islamic terrorism and violence. It was the same true Muslims who deny terrorism that nearly killed a lady a few years ago in Sudan for apostasy.

They are just taking advantage of western world free and accommodating lifestyle. One aboki once told me at slaughter Port Harcourt that they don't allow miscreants (meaning they know them) in Port Harcourt. Reason is obvious, once a single terrorist act like bombing occurs in Port Harcourt, Aba or Onitsha, they won't be as lenient as cultured westerners. Many of them will rush back to the north and lose out on their business.

If the "good" ones know they will be banned entering the US, they will prevent the bad eggs from operating in western nations. Technically, Trump is sending the right message

I was not referring to the 200 people that got laid off...

My interest is with the liar who said he got a pay-off of N500,000 after working for 15 years.

Yes, you heard me right I called him a bloody liar cos that's what he is

Instead of him to admit that he was heavily indebted as at the time of his disengagement he's making it seem as if the company shortchanged him

Ignorant people just come to social media and write trash!
The truth of the matter is that Baker Hughes did not follow existing Nigeria laws when they laid off staff and paid them peanuts as severance. That's what's being addressed in the court. They know they would lose out, and they are jittery. The bad is that we have a moribund government that does not protect its citizens. In Germany and France, they were given stringent conditions, including paying staff a percentage of their salary until they get a new job. Nigerians made millions of dollars for this company, so they can comfortably pay off staff well if they wish.

Nigerians needs as much money to boost our economy from these companies in this recession . Ex staff of sister companies like Schlumberger and Halliburton, get good payoff to start local content companies which employs other Nigerians. Do you know that some of the millions of naira they collect as tax from employees do not reach government purse. Let Govt and EFCC investigate BHI Nigeria. Do you know this same company collect a bond fee which is against Nigeria law? Do you know staff of the same company get good compensation from other African nations that produce little or no crude? Nigeria money is carted abroad and used to subsidize and pay them heavily, including other African countries
CareerAggrieved Ex-baker Hughes Employees Protest In Enugu, Demand N12b Entitlements by mesoprogress(op): 12:31pm On Feb 12, 2017
Christopher Isiguzo in Enugu

About 400 aggrieved ex-employees of Baker and Hughes, the third largest multi-national oil servicing company in Nigeria on Friday staged a peaceful protest at the premises of the National Industrial Court Enugu where they are challenging their unlawful disengagement by the company.

The protesting ex-workers are demanding for their entitlements said to be worth a whooping N12 billion from the company.



The protesters carrying placards, chanted slogans against the companyand its Chief Executive Officer, Martin Craighead, insisting that theirdisengagement did not comply with existing labour laws in Nigeria.

Some of the placards they displayed read: ‘Baker and Hughes, How many more deathshuh Pay us while we are alive’, ‘Martin Craighead, slave master’, ‘Baker and Hughes pay us our money’, ‘Baker and Hughes, pay us like Congo, Gabon, Chad and Ghana’, ‘Baker and Hughes is nepotism’.

Briefing journalists outside the courtroom, George Ogara, counsel to the claimants/plaintiffs, said they were asking Baker and Hughes to pay them their adequate severancepackages.

Ogara said they were also asking for the post employment medical benefits as operated in other African countries in the same Geo-market with Nigeria, such as Congo, Gabon, Chad and Ghana.

He regretted that while workers disengaged by the company in the other African countries were adequately compensated with redundant allowances, Baker and Hughes treated those in Nigeria like slaves, not minding the position of Nigeria as the head of the Geo-market.

Ogara regretted that 15 of the disengaged workers have died and their widows are suffering, adding that they were asking that their entitlements be paid to them.

Earlier yesterday, hearing on the suit brought before the National Industrial Court Enugu by the ex-employees against the company was stalled, following the plea by the defendants’ counsels for more time to enable them to resolve issues over their representation as well as file their reply to the suit.

Ogara, the counsel to the claimants/plaintiffs had asked the court to allow him to proceed with his motion on notice as it appears that the respondents were not opposing it.

The motion is seeking among others for an order to restrain General Electrics from acquiring Baker and Hughes or ensuring that the ex-employees were paid their benefits (totaling about N12 billion) before the acquisition.

However, one of the respondent counsels, Ismail Muftau told the court that he has not received the processes for the motion on notice fixed for the day.

Muftau who appeared alongside Ayoade Oluwasammi for the defense, later admitted that he only sighted the processes from one of his colleagues in the defense and asked for time to reply to it when served.

But, Ogara told the court that the claimants were in a hurry and that the defendants were bidding for more time to destroy the res (subject matter) in the case.

In his ruling, Justice Auwal Ibrahim said the matter has to be adjourned to enable service to all the parties and to allow the two lawyers to the defendants to resolve issues about the particular defendants that they are representing.

Justice Ibrahim adjourned the matter to March 10th for the hearing of the motion.

Speaking with journalists after the court sitting, Ogara said they were asking for justice for 219 ex-employees of Baker and Hughes, who are among the 1000 who were declaredredundant and sent home without benefits.
But, Muftau who equally spoke with journalists outside the courtroom, dismissed the claim of the ex-employees, saying that they collected severance benefits and returned to court thereafter to ask for more.
