Afang and Ogbono are my best bets! I am Yoruba but I prefer those soups to any other. Please, someone should help with how to cook Ogbono |
Weah96:Well done....go ahead. Your fore-fathers accused Jesus Christ and called Him many bad names |
pelij:You don't seem to understand the Bible! True, Jesus preached differently from what the Pharisees were doing. But what made the poor masses to ignore the Pharisees was the numerous, amazing and incredible miracles which the Pharisees could not do. He was casting out demons, and they accused Him of using the power of Belzebub. He restored a man's sight and they did not want the man to testify;. they claimed the healing was by a sinner. He raised people from the dead, and the Pharisees became worried because the news was spreading and everybody was talking about Jesus. He healed a man on the Sabbath day, and they wanted to use it against Him...... John the Baptist preached similar messages like Jesus Christ, but the Pharisees did not give him much attention and criticisms like they did to Jesus, because Jesus' miracles made the Pharisees look very ordinary! That power from above attracts envy! The poor masses were following Jesus because they knew He had the power and authority to redeem them from their sickness, disease and demonic possession. And the Pharisees did not like Jesus popularity. Jesus' miracles were proof that He was more than them, and that was something they did not want. Why are people talking about TB Joshua today?.....it is because of the many mighty miracles that God uses him to perform.....that is what creates the jealousy, envy, doubt etc. The less miracle you perform the less controversial you become! |
pelij:Do you read the Bible? Why was Jesus condemned by the Pharisees, sadduccess and the people? It was because God was using him to perform amazing miracles! Simple! Without the miracles, people would have left Jesus Christ alone. He was called a demon because of His miracles. His disciples were also persecuted because they were performing miracles in His name. Same for TB Joshua |
adconline:All the intellectuals of His time, including Saul(who later became Paul) said Jesus was fake. They led the crusade against Him. Again, you are wallowing in ignorance. TB Joshua foresaw the attack on his church that led to the collapse of the building and talked about it during service about a month before it happened. A Prophet speaks in parables Go watch Emmanuel tv if you care to know the truth. Keep on with your ''intellectualism'' against things of God......the word of God is foolishness to ''Intellectuals'' like you.....you will see where it would land you. Good luck |
Foolish man. Abiola was never popular amongst the Yoruba but he was forgiven and voted for in 1993. Same thing will happen for Buhari. Yoruba people will vote for him, no matter what! I just hope APC will distance themselves from Obasanjo...that man is good for nothing! |
Auction Export, Where in Lagos can I get to inspect/buy any of your vehicles? Do you have an agent in Lagos? If yes, please provide the contact/phone details |
Violence! I remember the violent slap on the poor girl that confessed to be ''witch for Jesus''. If you are not armed(anointed) by The Lord, you would fight the wrong battle By their fruits............! |
majekdom2:I will receive the prophecy gladly, PRAY, and then DO WHAT HE INSTRUCTS ME TO DO to avert the danger! Foolish people will turn deaf ears to a prophet's warnings, then turn around to blame him when it happens! I prefer a prophet who foresees a danger and warns me not to go out or travel on a particular day or month, to another prophet that will tell me that all is well, only for me to encounter a fatal accident on the way |
onatisi:He does send letters to some ambassadors / embassies. But you cannot expect him to always be sending letters. Some may even translate it to mean that he is seeking connections or favours from the embassies or countries concerned. I am sure he has written to some Asian countries in the past. With that, they should be the one to monitor his messages on the TV and make use of what they can from his prophecies. The problem is people don't bother to listen when he gives those prophecies, and then turn around to accuse him when the prophecies come to pass.....it reminds me of Prophet Noah and his generation |
freshness2020:God can show anything to a prophet, some the prophet can avert, some he cannot avert. TB Joshua has been showing clips of how he foresaw the danger coming his way, and how he prayed ''let thy will be done, Father'' Even before hos building collapsed, people always found it difficult to accept his prophecies, yet they all came to pass. This one is not different. All you need do to find out is to watch Emmanuel TV |
prophetfire:How do you expect God to vindicate TB Joshua? Is it by people who may have better knowledge or explanation of what happened to keep quiet and allow God to come down physically from heaven to vindicate him? |
LordReed:Do you expect the building to fall immediately while the plane was still hovering on top? Are you this blank? The mere fact that the building fell after about 40 minutes and the plane did not come back shows that something was fishy! |
The magistrate is always ready and quick to accommodate requests from Lagos State counsel and officials that would benefit their case. But he is very aggress, harsh and un-cooperating whenever SCOAN legal team makes a request that would inure to their favour. No wonder people say he is already baised and partisan in this inquest |
hardywaltz:Foolish drunk! Who told you that the foundation was originally meant for 2 storeys? Are you the owner of the building or the building contractor? I wonder how some people cannot think deep beyond sentiments. |
Meanwhile, the Chief Security Officer of The SCOAN, Sunday Okojie, played CCTV footage to the court showing scenes contrary to the sequence of events conveyed by the first respondents such as NEMA and LASEMA. According to him, LASEMA came to the scene of the incident on Friday, September 12, 2014 around 3:10pm without any equipment while NEMA arrived around 3:24 pm. The CCTV footage revealed that both agencies came ill-equipped and didn’t spend more than 30 seconds before being ushered to the scene of the collapsed building. Additionally, throughout the rescue operation, they reported in the morning at 8am and left the scene by 5:30pm daily. When the SCOAN's counsel, Olalekan Ojo, asked him about the allegations by both agencies that they came with several heavy equipments but were prevented from performing their statutory duties by the church, Okojie retorted, "They were lying to cover their inadequacies. Can a vehicle carry another vehicle inside because from the video before us, they only came with one vehicle that was even empty? “Also, it’s so sad that they resumed work at 8am and closed by 5:30pm like office executives. The only thing they were interested in doing was talking to the media. They were busy organising press conferences and were unconcerned with the lives they came to rescue. I can tell you categorically that it was church officials and technicians who were drilling holes and bringing the victims out of the rubble. “It’s a shame on our country because foreigners were on ground and witnessed how all these sad events evolved. It was even the church who initiated the issue of Julius Berger bringing heavy duty equipment and we have receipts here to prove that we procured all the equipments used in saving those innocent lives. Here are the receipts of all hospital bills and even government morgues where we footed all the bills. If it was the state government who rescued those lives, there won’t be need for state hospitals to issue receipts in our name. " The state counsel said they were at a disadvantage due to the evidence presented by the witness and as such did not cross examine Okojie. He therefore requested for more time to watch the footage and fix a date later for cross examination, a request Magistrate Komolafe quickly accommodated. Finally, Justice Lateefa Okunnu of an Ikeja High Court has adjourned hearing on the application filed by founder of The SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua seeking stay of proceeding of the Coroner's Inquest, to January 12, 2015. SCOAN, in the said application dated November 11, 2014 Court and marked ID/188MJR/2014, had asked for a judicial review of the coroner's proceedings, which began on October 13. It had asked the High Court to declare that Prophet T.B. Joshua’s invitation to appear as a witness before the coroner was a breach of his right to fair hearing as no case had been established against his person before the coroner. It further contested that the coroner had been extending his inquisitions into areas beyond its statutory purview. Nosa Osazuwa, a writer from Lagos, was present during the coroner's inquest - See more at: http://www.flatimes.com/2014/12/infrasonic-sound-weapon-crashed-tb-joshua-building.html#sthash.Kch8Itc6.dpuf |

Is Oba Akiolu God? I am not a fan or supporter of PDP.....but people like an Oba should know how to construct and express their feelings without necessarily speaking as if he is God Almighty! |
cosade:Stop making noises with ignorance. For a formal contract job awarded to specialists who do not intend to inflict injuries on nearby buildings/human beings, they will place explosives and dynamite-like materials at strategic places and on several/different floors and walls in order to bring the building down with minimal splattering of blocks, iron rods, pillars etc. Part of the contract will ensure there is minimal collateral damage after the implosion, so there will be extra care to break down the bricks, blocks and iron rods etc into the smallest particles possible. For a terrorist/sabotage act on a 5-6 story building being used as a guest house/hotel(e.g SCOAN building), the saboteurs/terrorists do not have to wire several/different floors before they can bring the building down and wreck havoc. All they need do is to blow off the ground floor and the whole building will collapse on its weight and cause death/severe injuries to people. That exactly was what happened to the SCOAN building. We have seen enough terrorist attacks at places like hotel, shopping malls etc around the world. Go see videos of similar attacks/demolitions before you expose your stark ignorance. Also, the NIDB building is not the only building that has been brought down with controlled demolition. Several other buildings have been brought down in Nigeria with similar technology, at least 2 in Abuja. Watch the SCOAN video and see for yourself, |
mayblossom:Have you ever seen or watched graphics of the difference between building collapse via controlled demolition and collapse via structural defect? Go watch and apply your common sense (I am presuming you have some)! Even a 5 story building built with only clay/sand and wood would not come down in one swoop within 3secs.....no matter how poor the structure. Such building collapse would not be associated with exploding dust-like smoke at the lower floors of the building, especially the ground floor. Our forefathers built houses (some of them multiple story buildings), without any govt approval and with only wooden planks and clay/sand. Some of these houses are still standing for 100 years.....and none of them collapses from the top to the ground floor in 3 seconds...... My brother, think deep and eschew hatred and sentiments! |
It is obvious that the 2 emergency bodies were making up stories to cover up their inefficiency......they both went to the scene of the collapsed building without a single ambulance, while the church provided 11 ambulances, while the Red Cross and Life Savers provided 1 ambulance each. The barricade that they complained about was manned by the Police to preevent hoodlums from taking advantage of the situation. Earlier, the Red Cross had testified that they were neither stopped nor prevented from carrying out their rescue efforts and actually praised the church for its efforts at rescuing the victims and the provision of 11 ambulances. Two inefficient government bodies telling lies to cover their shame.....! http://leadership.ng/news/389539/police-investigating-possible-sabotage-synagogue-church-building-says-dpo It is obvious that the 2 emergency bodies were making up stories to cover up their inefficiency |
Nigeria Police expose the lies and bias of Lagos State govt/agencieson Synagogue Building Collapse http://leadership.ng/news/389539/police-investigating-possible-sabotage-synagogue-church-building-says-dpo |
Omooba77:Shame to Fashola's Lagos State govt, its corrupt agencies and the biased coroner magistrate! I have been saying it that is a big shame and act of mediocrity to investigate this magnitude of tragedy without interviewing the survivors/eye witnesses. Even the BBC and other international media houses far away from Nigeria have interviewed some of the survivors. Why has the magistrate refused to call survivors/eye witnesses?It is a deliberate attempt to prosecute, humiliate and hold TB Joshua responsible for the collapse. They know the survivors would say the actual fact and truth, which they are not ready to hear! That is why all what they have been doing is to call Lagos State agencies to talk about ''there was no approval for the building''. The ignorant and ass-licking Commissioner for Urban Planning came to say that there was no aircraft flying low over the building, and that the plane was over 300meters above the building, even though he did not conduct any investigation. They are just talking about ''no approval for the building'' so that they can work towards a common answer.....hold TB Joshua responsible, humiliate and prosecute him! The police had made an official request to the Lagos State Minsitry of Works to conduct test on the materials used for the building and even while the ministry is yet to complete its test and reply the police, a clueless commissioner has already jumped to conclusion that the building was structurally defective! Can you imagine that! They hate TB Joshua and they want to use this opportunity to humiliate and rubbish him. The statements and attitude of the Magistrate is a clear testimony to this! If this had happened to the church of their pastor (where they and their wives go to worship during electioneering and Xmas/new year service), they surely would not insist that he must appear in court in person.....we all know that church/pastor |
MadCow1:What makes the building illegal? Not getting approval or building beyond approved number of floors is not an illegality. The illegality is in the act of people who planted or threw explosives to bring the building down. There are many buildings in Lagos and Nigeria that are over 100 years hold, but without approval. Yet, virtually all the buildings that collapsed in Lagos and Nigeria had government approval. Our fore fathers' houses in the villages were never approved, yet they have ben standing for centuries, some of them with multiple floors |
BluIvy:That is my problem with the way Lagos State has been conducting this inquest! There is no forensic test of specimens and the building or the materials used. No laboratory analysis by professional bodies/NGO to determine whether the building was defective in structure or materials! No structural tests of the structures and critical components/parts of the collapsed building! All what Lagos state is doing is to say there was no approval for the building, so TB Joshua must be held responsible. They keep saying the building was structurally defective, but they cannot tell THE EXCACT STRUCTURAL DEFECT... whether poor foundation, poor materials or poor design! Again, no single eyewitness or survivor that witnessed the tragedy has been invited to testify on what really happened. But they have been calling on Lagos State officials who only came to the scene hours after and did not know how the building came down to come and testify. Even the BBC other international media houses were able to interview some of the survivors just a few days after the tragedy, but here in Nigeria we cannot invite them 2 months after a tragedy and we are busy calling on biased state officials who are towing the same lime of ''the building was not approved' our grandfather's buildings in our villages were never approved but they have not collapsed. Some were not even built with cement.....just mud houses built with clay) Now, who are we supposed to believe more- the actual victims/survivors or state govt officials ? |
These guys are professional copy cats |
Atiku has an axe to grind with Buhari because of what Buhari did to to him in the Emir of Gwandu's case of 53 briefcases during Buhari's era as president.(Atiku was the Comptroller General of Customs at the time) |
If every Nigerian would think like me, You have no political future! I can never vote for a man that would increase tuition fee in federal universities to millions of naira per session, all in the name of turning those schools into ''world class'. He has denied potential university admissions to thousands of students during his 3 year madness of increasing tuition fees in LASU without a just reason. What is compensation for thousands of students who missed admission because of the tuition fee hike? I dont want a person that would be flexing muscles with medical doctors while patients are dying in hospitals. I don't want a mad person that would wake up drunk and say he has sacked all 700+ medical doctors in the state. Such lunatic can equally wake up and say he has sacked all the medical doctors in federal govt hospitals in the country! I don't want a person that would respect the voice of his godfather more than the voice of teeming dying masses. I don't want a greedy corrupt govt that would use every capital projects like roads and bridges to exploit the masses of the people. Jakande built the Lekki Expressway without extorting money from Lagosians. A thief now adds just one lane to the road and is extorting N120 as toll. Same for the Ikoyi bridge....a project funded with government! What a fraud! Mediocre and incompetent people always rule us in this county because Nigerians have become cheap and people are easily carried away so we worship mediocrity. Within a shorter period of time, Ibikunle Amosun has performed much better in Ogun State than the arrogant and anti-masses Fashola in Lagos |
You must be lucky. Very lucky indeed. I pray you do not experience what WILL make you learn how to manage a ''whopping'' N10,000 plus provisions in a month....hardcore poverty. You better wise up and appreciate what you have. This is the formula: 1.You have to discipline yourself to eat at most, 2 times in a day. 2.Buy raw rice, beans, ground pepper, palm oil, garri, curry, thyme,salt and groundnut(cooking) oil and possibly 1 or 2 tubers of yam 3.Since you have provisions, a little tea/coffee in the morning should be able to carry you till 11a.m-12noon before you eat your first meal for the day i.e. BRUNCH. 4.You have to master how to cook and eat Rice CONCOTION and Beans blended with garri ( the everlasting, ever sustaining recipe) for your brunch. Make sure you have some as leftover for dinner in the evening. 5.It is better you eat beans for your brunch because it can sustain you for longer hours. You should always try to have some remaining in the pot when you come back from lectures in the evening....you eat that, and then prepare the alternate dish against the following morning. 6.Don't indulge in the attitude of buying soft drinks and snacks anyhow. Avoid them if you know that your finances will be affected. 7.Avoid the tendency of trying to spend too much on clothes or social functions or girls. |
fyneconcepts:You a very valid and important point. Unfortunately, in this country, we are too lazy and unserious to do any meaningful investigation. Otherwise, what happened to the SCOAN building should have caused a lot of investigations of ALL possible angles. Rather, we are more interested in putting all the blame on the head of TB Joshua, just because some people hate him. I am yet to see any jet hover 4 times at very low altitude above a building in a place like IKOTUN. Even houses in Ikeja do not experience such |

Now am confussed. Is dis not the jet that was alleged to have been shot down by boko haram and the pilot beheaded OR is it the one suspected to have mysteriously brought down Synagogue Church. What a mysterious jet. Somebody abeg explain dis to me.
