Flytefalls:
I need an anonymous place to restore my sanity from the drama this religion brings to my life periodically.

I'm not an ex JW, I have never been a JW, but even now I am having to deal with the everlasting effects of my mother's disfellowship approximately 20 years ago.

Are there any former JW's, or JW non-baptised escapees, or even those still trapped inside 'the truth' who feel disillusioned here on NL? For myself and my mother, I have questions.

Does your mother still retain her 'faith' despite her disfellowship?

What caused her to be cast aside by the JWs?

SHARIAREPORTERS:
U can only get dis kinda structures in pdp states

Lagos isn't PDP.

It has nothing to do with party, it is do with direction and intention.

Many PDP governors do nothing. I'm sure the electorate will find that to be true with the 'new' APC governors as well.

I wonder when football clubs will become privatized in Nigeria?

yang:
Why the Northerners no go just form their own country and rule am as they like?

How would they survive?

They would have the highest poverty rate in Africa if they did that.

As well as one of the highest illiteracy rates.

midolian:
It seems some of these pple(foreigners) are happier than Nigerians over the emergence of Buhari as the president of Nigeria..

Why would foreigners be happy about a Nigerian head of state if they did not see that they might have something to gain?

'British war criminal visits Buhari' is the correct title.

dollarsplenty:
this man must be a S/westerner. everything 4 s/west na prayer

They're not the only ones in Nigeria who are obsessed with religion or forever invoking god, unfortunately.

It's a bad habit which is pervasive throughout Nigerian society.

lazsnaira:
Anyway, with what akwa ibom is receiving, which is more than what is given to three states in the south east, if our leaders are not thieves, akwa ibom state is supposed by now to be at par with lagos or Jo'burg.

No, that is a nonsensical statement.

AKS was a neglected region for decades. Ikot Ekpene and Uyo were essentially villages until relatively recently. There was too great of an infrastructure deficit (a common problem throughout Nigeria) to expect those kind of results. You have to remember that the are not building on inhabited land. Also, the allocation that you talk about is a recent thing (2011), many of the oil wells that AKS has used to belong to CRS. From what I have seen they have always had great plans in AKS and CRS, it's just a question on how much is available.

In time Nigeria will get there but to expect to go from 0 to 200 mph in such a short space of time is illogical.

I'm not a religious man but I will ask anyway.

Is it necessary to kneel to pray in public? Is it necessary to draw attention to yourself in public so that everyone knows that you are praying?

Did Jesus not admonish the Pharisees who made a show and dance of praying in public?

ASHLAND:
I support your comment; that is how it is done in many developed country. I have being thinking the same as the best solution to solve Nigeria's power problem. In addition to that, many energy production company should be licensed to build power plant, generate the power, and sell it to distributors - grid. If that could happened, Nigeria would generate energy more than needed, there would be competition in energy cost to distributors, and energy cost will as well fall just like cell phone service cost.

What you have described is what I believe was the intention behind the privatization of PHCN.

We shall see how it pans out over the coming years.

Caracta:
Very dangerous I tell you.

Potentially dangerous.

The fact that you made it there safely means that it wasn't.

Caracta:
Obudu. Then Calabar. Every night trip in Nigeria is dangerous.

I would never drive that route at night but Calabar to Obudu during the day is nice.

debbie:
ok,wow,........so it is the same name that Arochukwu people call their masquerade too

'Arochuku' was an Ibibio settlement initially.

They retained the customs even after the influx of Igbo speaking peoples.

Caracta:
Lagos to Abuja. 10pm - 9am. By road!

Not a risk to take again. And the stress? I wanted to die...

Then Abuja to Cross River. Night trip too. Interesting a bit. But dangerous.

Which section of the Abuja to Cross River trip was most dangerous?

Did you head to Calabar or were you going to northern Cross River?

vichks:
Mine was when I went to kano with my boss from lagos, my mind was that he was driving and immediately he picked me up he said oboy you are driving throughout, I wan swear for am that day, the worse was that he was snoring while sleeping

How was the road to Kano?

I'm curious.

A lot has been done there and there is even more in the pipeline but what is an Annang?

How does the language differ from Efik/Ibibio?

Who came up with that term?

alchemist:
you not go to class with toothpaste in ya pocket just to lick when you hungry? B like say na only me don over do the worse food for hia self. Wia all my Nulli Secudus people

No sir.

Never done that.

I've eaten some gross foods in Europe and north America but never toothpaste. No thank you.

SAMBARRY:
the hypocrisy is terrible


so when the choir master is singing so we lift up holy hands in one accord singing blessed be the name of the Lord. They too will lift up hands soiled in blood. This is so inhumane.




even Americans that don't take religion, morals or Christianity too seriously are not this debased when it comes to human lives.what a pity



Can you imagine
I

That should let you know that religion and morality have nothing to do with each other.

This is what happens when stupid people keep preaching that 'children are a gift from god'.

Children are a responsibility and many people are not prepared for such.

If they need contraceptives then they should be able to get them without feeling any guilt or shame.

If they need to abort the fetus then let them, that is better than this - this is murder.

alchemist:
Boarding house things

1. Mix pap and beans together just to make it plenty
2. apply toothpaste to the small bread since the egg dey serve us is not enough.
3. Cook concoction rice with red oil and salt only.


We gas survive nah

Toothpaste?
Gross.

The whole notion of a 'national' grid for Nigeria is silly.

Let each state generate its own power.

Maser:
MEDIOCRITY at its worst. As someone who knows Calabar. The corridor where this train operates will not benefit the public at all and the distance is very short. Simply put, it is worthless for the common man in Calabar or Cross River.

It will be used by those with money who visit Tinapa and Summit Hills, or live in the new development at Summit Hills.

This is not a welfare project.

MrsChima:
You need to articulate better if you want us to understand you better. You added the last paragraph after I have responded to your post Instead of being an asshole and questioning reader's comprehension skills..you need to first make all of your points instead adding after people have responded.

I have responded to your original statement which was on point!

If you have issues accepting it then that is not my issue.

Now you are lying - I didn't add or alter anything.

Either you cannot read or you did not read it properly.

What I wrote was very clear and very concise. It's not a difficult concept, like I said, your reading comprehension might not be up to scratch.

You used the word 'choice' and I used the word 'may' but you simply repeated what I said whilst claiming to say something different.

Just accept that you were in a rush to argue a non-existent point.

MrsChima:
Feminism is about women have the right to choose to do what they want in life. It is not focusing on surname and that other shit people ranting about.

That's the difference. I suggest you don't argue for the sake of it as well.

Where did I say that was all feminism was about?

Your reading comprehension skills are atrocious if that is what you took from my comment.

The question was about surnames. The reason why feminists argue for double-barrelled names is because they believe that women should not be forced to lose their own identity - that is a choice that should be available to married women.

If you re-read what I wrote you will see how silly you have been.

micktoxin:
One questions for the experts. Are Niger deltas etc(South south) part of Igbo? Otherwise, without the South south, Igbo will be worse off in the short to medium term. This situtation is similar to BREXIT, as in Nigeria is a bigger market for IGBOs just like EU is to britain.

The Niger Delta is different from Igboland.

I really do not understand why there is any division in the south of Nigeria, besides petty linguistic differences their goals and aims seem awfully similar.

MrCork:
..BRO AM A LONDONER AND WE WATCH THE ELECTION...80% PEACE FULL AND SATISFACTORY UNTIL THAT BUSH IBO MAN WIT COWBOY HAT HELD EVERY ONE TO RANSOM AND DISGRACE NIGERIA GLOBALLY...ALL BECUZ HE WANTED TO MAKE HIS FOOOLISH POINT.. THE EDDDIOT SAT ON THE FLOOR SAYN HE WOUDNT LEAVE.. MUSS IBO PEOPLE ALL WAYS ACT LIKE NIGERIANS TO DIS GRACE OUR NIGERIA?

...JONATHAN HAD HIS TIME...IBO PEOPLE SHUD PLEASE KEEP QUIET AND LET NIGERIA LEAVE IN PEACE...WE DONT NEED IBO BOKO (no Ofense)

That was foolish but it still does not compare with the murder and kidnapping that Boko Haram has been responsible for.

I will purchase bitcoin from those that wish to sell.

MrCork:
...IBO PEOPLE SHUD QUIT BEIN THE NEW BOKO OF NIGERIA AND STOP STEERING UP TROUBLE..GADEMMMIT.

THEY WANTED IBO PRESIDENT,WE GAVE THEM GOOODLOCK AND. PATIENT (NA waoooooo).....GUESS WOT, THEY STILL LOOKIN for SOMTIN to COMPLAIN about

...CHILL GADEMMMMMIT!!

They aren't killing anyone - it's inappropriate to compare them to Boko Haram.

Everyday with the threats.

Either do it or don't.

obailala:
There are several reasons why a project may not be completed on time, one of them being that the client hasn't released complete funds. Going back to the start of this project, I remember it was mentioned that the cinema would be completed in the first phase. Hence the already completed and functioning cinema. Now we still await the completion of other phases but you are already so sure the contractor is responsible for the delay.

I ask and I ask again, why are you so sure the funds for the entire project has been released?... We are not sure if the complete project funds has been released yet you are already so sure Ben Bruce is responsible for the delay.

Have I made any statements that the funds have been released?

I asked because I do not know.

Why do you keep making assumptions?

MrsChima:
That's incorrect. Feminist stance is that a woman can choose to take her husband's surname or not. The key word is CHOOSE

How is what you different from this?

"A feminist idea that a woman should be able to retain her identity after marriage."

You do your cause no good by arguing for the sake of it.

obailala:
OMG! what kind of question is this? ...So how would delaying the project also benefit Ben Bruce?

Why are you hell bent on jumping into the conclusion that it is the contractor delaying the project when you have no facts?... This is even a PDP vs PDP matter so I can't even link your strange premonitions to politics. Or is it because Ben spoke out against corruption therefore you have suddenly found yourself on the defensive?... Interesting!.. Anyone who speaks out against corruption is automatically an enemy that must be framed. I wouldn't be surprised if Ben is frustrated out of PDP for daring to tow a different ideology from the norm.

I suppose it's also the contractor delaying the Ibaka Seaport right?

What conclusions?

I asked questions.

Where have I been defensive?

I simply asked how it would benefit Akpabio - this project was started a while ago, the cinema went up quickly so I'm curious why the remainder has been done at such a slow pace by comparison.
