Thanks, I had checked the one on IP law

The terms “nudes”, “photos”, “videos”, “social media” and “the right to privacy” intertwined in one sentence seem to be a paradox.

It has been argued by many that the minute you click the “I have read and agree to your terms and conditions” box (most of which more than 90 per cent of us do not read) on any social media application, you have lost your right to privacy.


This is not entirely true especially as it relates to images or videos which were not posted by the victim or those not authorised to be posted.

The interconnection between privacy and the digital space began to garner a lot of attention around the world after the ‘celebrity’ case of Sara Cox v. MGN Ltd [2006] EWHC 1235 (QB).

The facts of this case were such that celebrity radio disc jockey, Sara Cox, sued a newspaper organization, The People. The People had printed nude photographs of her taken while on Sara Cox was on honeymoon.

Social media privacy

Nigeria has not been excluded from the rancour of nudes, images or videos posted/re-posted willingly and unwillingly on the internet.

The fact that the Nigerian government is beginning to take note of the regulation of social media on its cyberspace can be seen in the controversial “Anti- Social Media Bill” sponsored by Senator Bala Ibn Na’allah of the Kogi South in 2015.

Many technology and legal activists fought against the bill in light of legal issues such as infringement of privacy online and that it prevented freedom of expression so that it became the subject of a heated debate until...

The Ijebu, The Yoruba and Their Influence on The Bible and Judaism

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in Sunday Thisday of September 30, 2018.

By Reno Omokri

One of the most fascinating aspects of the history of the Black Race is hidden in plain sight and I have known this for years, but I have been a coward. I know my people. I know how some of us love to deprecate their own selves. And I was afraid that if I wrote about the truth, I would be attacked. But when has it ever been that truth was first celebrated?

For the truth, it has always been as Mahatma Gandhi said “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” I have no interest in winning. I just want the truth to be out there.

But as I woke up this morning, a Force propelled me. I was so restless and I asked myself why I was restless. And the words of John 8:32 were emblazoned on my mind:

“you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Elsewhere, I have written about the biblical Nimrod (the first world emperor) in Genesis 10. I showed in actual fact that there was nothing like Nimrod. His real name is Namrud in Aramaic and Arabic. From where the European translators got the name Nimrod, I would not know. But the name found in the Pentateuch is Namrud. Do not take my word for it. Google it. Or go to a reference library.

I had also said that that Namrud was no other person than Lamurudu, the father of Oduduwa, the father of the Yoruba people. If you want evidence, Google my article ‘Why Black Man dey Suffer today.’

But today, I want to reveal the truth about a place called Jerusalem.

Many people do not realise that the original name for Jerusalem was not Jerusalem but actually Jebus. If you doubt me, stop reading right now and Google the word Jebus. Or go to a reference library.

The Jebus, were a tribe that occupied the modern day Jerusalem before they were conquered by King David. This is a historical fact. It is also recorded in the Bible.

In Joshua 11:3, we read:

“And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.”

Now, note those words “the Jebusite in the mountains”. It is very important, as I will explain later.

Do not be confused by the use of the generic term ite after the names of tribes. They were not used in the original Hebrew Scriptures. It was the European and specifically the English translators of the Hebrew Scriptures, that added the generic suffix, ite.

So for example, in their eyes, a person from Canaan would be a Canaanite. The children of Ammon would be called Ammonites. And those from Jebus were called Jebusites.

I do not know why they did this. Did they do it to deceive, confuse, or hide the truth? Or, did they do it for ease of reference? Your guess is as good as mine.

Now, if you read 2 Samuel 5:6, it says:

“The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there.”

The King here, refers to David. David attacked Jebus and defeated them as we can see in verse 8 of 2 Samuel 5 which says:

“David had said, "Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft to reach those 'lame and blind' who are David's enemies."

In verse 9, we read that David defeated the Jebusites, but did not take up residence in the mountains, where most of them lived (remember I told you to remember the mountains).

He chose to reside in the lowlands surrounding the mountains as we read in verse 9:

“David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces inward.”

In actual fact, the name Jebus that you read about in The Bible, refers to a tribe now known as Ijebu in Southwest Nigeria.

I have just blown your mind. I know. It sounds like blasphemy. Heresy. But please let me land!

The Ijebu do not really call themselves I-J-E-B-U, the way an outsider would pronounce all syllables. They actually call themselves J-E-B-U, with the I before jebu silent.

And the Ijebu people are unlike other Yoruba tribes in that they do not claim Yoruba heritage. They have something you would find nowhere else in Yoruba land. They have a king called Awjujale.

The Awujale of Ijebu, Sikiru Adetona, revealed in an interview, (which I urge every reader of this article to read: simply Google Middle East origins of the Ijebu), that the Ijebu originally came from the area around the Middle East to the Sudan.

This agrees with the biblical references in Joshua 11:3 and 12:10 as well as 2 Samuel 5:6-10.

So if the Jebus were the original inhabitants of Jerusalem, where does the word Jerusalem come from?

You see, the Ijebu or Jebu is the name of the tribe. However, they name their towns, villages and habitations after the topography of their environment.

So for instance, in modern day Nigeria, the Ijebu towns are known by the prefix Ijebu, followed by a suffix indicating their topography. Today, the Ijebu towns are known as Ijebu-Ode (which may loosely mean outer Ijebu), Ijebu-Igbo (which may loosely mean forested Ijebu). You also have Ijebu-Remo, Ijebu-Isiwo and other Ijebu towns, villages and communities that begin with the prefix Ijebu and end with a suffix depicting their topography or to a lesser extent, their history.

Now, recall that I urged my readers to remember that in Joshua 11:3, the Jebus were referred to as living in the mountains, but in 2 Samuel 5:6, the Bible records that the Jebus lived in Jerusalem.

Psalm 125:2 reads:

“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.”

Jerusalem is a town surrounded by mountains. Even today, some residents of Jerusalem live in the mountains, others live in the lowlands or valley.

The Jebus who were living in the lowlands of Jerusalem and who were conquered by King David in 2 Samuel chapter 5 were Ijebu-Isale, loosely meaning Ijebu of the lowland or valley.

It is that Ijebu-Isale, which the natives would have called Jebu-sale (both i’s after Ijebu and Isale would have been silent) that was mispronounced as Jeru-Sale by King David and his men, because 2 Samuel chapter 5 quite clearly states that King David built the city of David in the lowland. Jeru-Sale became Jerusalem.

The challenge many Black People have is that we do not read. It is still true today that if you want to hide something from a Black man, you hide it in a book.

These things you just read are not secrets. They have been hidden in the most popular book in the world for centuries! They are in The Bible!

It grieves me when I see Black People, especially people of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, say that their culture is derived from Jewish culture. That is not true and I will prove it using only Scripture.

Many people do not realise that there is a difference between being a Hebrew and being Jewish.

Hebrews are the descendants of Abraham. Jews are those who profess the faith of Judaism.

The faith of Judaism is not actually traced to Abraham, although the God of Judaism (whom I believe in) is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The fact is that the prophet Moses (Moshe) was the founder of Judaism. But how did he come about his spiritual knowledge?

Moses was an Egyptian general of Hebrew descent. For the first 40 years of his life, he lived in Egypt and had no connection with the one true God.

It was only when he ran away from Egypt after killing an Egyptian, that he met God.

Moses sought asylum in Midian, where he lived for forty years. He married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, the priest of Midian (also known as Reuel). This is very important. Why? Because Jethro was Black. How do I know? The Bible tells us.

Numbers 12:1 reads:

“And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.”

If you read the same verse in the NIV, it says:

“Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.”

Cush is the Hebrew word for Black. Do not be confused by the use of Ethiopian by the King James Version. When the KJV uses the term Ethiopian, what it actually means is Black Africa. You see, when the King James Version was written, Africa was known as Ethiopia and Black People were called Ethiope.

Google the word Ethiope if you doubt me. The nation now known as Ethiopia is referred to as Sheba in the Old Testament. It is NEVER referred to as Ethiopia (except in the New Testament). Hence, the Queen of Ethiopia who visited King Solomon is referred to as the Queen of Sheba, not Queen of Ethiopia.

So Moses was living with Black People in Midia and married the daughter of their Black priest. It was while he was there that he had the encounter with God described as the Burning Bush experience of Exodus 3.

A lot of the spiritual and physical laws which Moses passed on to the Hebrews in the form of the religion of Judaism were actually taught to him by his Black father-in-law. How do I know? Because the bible says so.

Exodus 18:24 says:

“Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.”

This is the reason why there are so many similarities between Jewish culture and Black African culture.

For example, in Deuteronomy 25:5, Moses taught that if a man dies without a seed, his brother, who is next in line, will produce seed for him through his widowed wife.

In the New Testament, the Sadducees threw this law at the face of our Lord Jesus in Matthew 22:24 which reads:

“Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.”

This custom is present in the original customary laws of almost all Black African tribes. Africans did not learn this from the Jews. The Jews learnt it from Africans.

Africans need to realise that the very first nation mentioned in the Bible is the Black Race. Genesis 2:13 reads:

“The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.”

That word Cush is the Hebrew word for the Black Race till this very day.

Even the way that the Jews consulted God (divination) is of Black origin. Many times, when we read that God told a Jewish prophet something, it is not that God came down or spoke to them in dreams or through an angel, which did happen. However, by far the most consistent way that the Israelites consulted and heard from God, was through the practice of divination. It is in the Bible.

Aaron was a diviner. He cast lots, using holy jewelled beads called Urim and Thummim.

Exodus 28:30 reads:

“Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron's heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.”

David was recorded as a good king because he regularly practiced divination (casting the lot).

We see this in 1 chronicles 24:31

“They also cast lots, just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.”

Even the land of Canaan was divided amongst the tribes of Israel by divination.

Numbers 26:55 reads:

“But the land shall be divided by lot. They shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.”

Even in the New Testament, the disciples of our Lord and Saviour used divination to choose a successor to Judas Iscariot.

In Acts 1:26 we read:

“Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.”

This practice of casting lots, is a very ancient and still common practice amongst the Jebu or Ijebu people of Nigeria specifically and amongst the descendants of Oduduwa.

Just as the Jewish priests use beaded jewels known as Urim and Thumim, so do the Jebu or Ijebu and the Omo Oduduwa use beads for their divination.

If you have ever watched a Nollywood movie where a traditional priest threw beads on the floor and saw the future or identified a culprit who stole or predicted the outcome of a given venture, that was the ancient Black African science of divination.

Now, I have used the word, Yoruba, to describe the Omo Oduduwa as distinct from the Jebu or Ijebu. But ask any Yoruba elder for the meaning of Yoruba and they have no clue. The truth is that before the British came, there was NOTHING like Yoruba.

You were either Egba, Owu, Ijesha, Awori, etc. You will not find any document bearing the word Yoruba from the 18th century. The omo Oduduwa now called Yoruba used to call themselves omooluabi.

The word Yoruba actually comes from the word Yar’Iba. It is a Fulani word dating from the days of slavery. If you read the memoirs of Bishop Samual Ajayi Crowther, he did not refer to himself as Yoruba.

In his memoirs, Ajayi Crowther revealed that he was raided from his village in Osogun (in present day Oyo state) by Fulani slave raiders (different from slave traders).

The Fulani were notorious for raiding tribes of the lower Niger. They called the Igbo Yar’Miri, which is a derogatory name that they still call them in the North (Nyamiri). The Yorubas they called Yar’Iba. I know the meaning of that word and it is so derogatory that I will not reveal it here.

It was the British, who in search of an ethnic identity for the Omo Oduduwa, took the derogatory word Yar’iba, and mispronounced it as Yoruba.

The actual name for the Yoruba or the Omo Oduduwa, is omoluabi, which is a word that evolved from omo-ti-olu-iwa-bi, meaning the child that the lord of character begat.

Many people, including many modern day Yoruba speakers, think that Oluwa means Lord. No it does not. Oluwa connotes Lord, but it does not mean just lord. It means Lord of Iwa, meaning character, or good morals.

Now what is the origin of omo-ti-olu-iwa-bi? Many, myself included, think It goes back to the origin of Adam, the child that had no mother or father but was begotten by the Lord as we read in Genesis 2, which itself agrees with the folkloric origins of Oduduwa’s ancestral line through Lamurudu.

I know that these revelations may be shocking and could even seem like heresy to some of my readers, but I urge everyone who has read this to behave like the Berean people.

Acts 17:11 reads:

“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”

Please search the Scriptures. Everything you have read here is based on Scripture, shocking as it may be.

I've known this for a while....to be true and very correct.

The anti-Semitism of Hitler years were because he found out this truth. The real, true powerful 'jews' are the black race or any skin color that shares blackness it's Gene.

It's one of the explanations why they will not allow anything black to be truely emancipated. But our leader are yet to see the light - the truth!

That babe, types (and assumedly speaks) very good English. That's one thing that I love. And she seem very courteous...way too courteous. When Wizkid was spreading her gospels delivering word, was he insane.

Now the word became flesh!

PDP is bn complacent... APC making serious inroad into d SS...they might not win it eventually but they sure wld hurt PDP badly in d region...i see d potential lost votes in NC bn recovered in SS.

Even the best governors cannot boast of a clean sheet once FG and Adams' presidency decide to beam EFCC light on them.

Godswill didn't decamp just like that: APC approached him with options...
I'm sure Uduaghan too must have been given options too
It's a plus plus for Dr Uduaghan if he joins APC.

PDP never see anything.
I know how crafty Oshiomole is and I said it before that APC will allow PDP to do it's transfer first and when APC open it's transfer market that PDP members will cry.
Akpabio,Udaugah is just testing testing by Oshiomole and APC

Wait and see what will happen after PDP primaries

It's Adams that will eventually destroy APC. Let's just wait and observe.

This is wrong to just buried him in borno state. I thought igbo don't buried there death in another place apart from their ancestral home?

Once you sign up for military. Your life belongs to the state. Everything.

A cadet who died in training, will not have his corpse released to family members, so ancestral issue no dey.
Shebi na corpse we u see, you go bury.

Thank you sir. TSA has caused more harm as a result of government underfunding of federal universities. Common broken chairs can't be repaired till approval comes from Abuja. The worst part is that approval doesn't automatically come with fund, it takes another round of meetings for the money itself to show. The unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks, coupled with corruption at the top has made nonsense of whatever good the TSA was set out to achieve.

Exactly. If after the meetings, the emergency is not seen as emergent enough the approval is not given immediately. The sad part according to the manager is that the urgency would be decided by persons in a conference room full of chilled with A.C...while the engineers that are on the field will sometimes have to improvise with crude parts with no integrity which may fail exposing them to unsafe conditions.

TSA has not stopped stealing and corruption, it has only created new thieves and given new powers to some folks to steal on bigger scale.

Most of the men and women folks see and hear that they are the children of God Almighty may not be the species never seen before, the New generation of empowered creatures. I tell you the truth, the world will weep and mourn for rejection of the Spirit of truth and embracing fables and vain deceitfully.


Who do you think is God Almighty?? And what do you make of his own children, His kind and likeness, who do the world say the children of God Almighty's are?? Stop acting who you are not, that's our message for reprobates.



Who is a Christian? A Christian is a disciple of Christ. Now that's more than Big, we could talk about that the whole of the night,. Christ is the mighty power and wonderful wisdom of God Almighty. Now come to think of it,. Many of you say you are Christians. Acting all the good before men attitude, but within, in the house you a different person, but in the churches, you are big saint. It doesn't work that way, and you can tell as much as we know that you are restless and confused. You really don't know what next steps to take. Because you already know that you are decieving your heart.



Let us tell you what you need to do, yes, you need to cry out for help from the Spirit of truth.



John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.



That's the only ingredient that will be added into your creative abilities and it will results. If you never experienced before the life of a child of God Almighty, you only become a biblical studies teacher, the popular man of God slogans.


Do you ever think that God Almighty don't see naked girls and boys, do you mean he doesn't see you when you are in bathroom, when you didn't cover those mould. What do you make of such, do you ever think that God Almighty gets arouses by your clay?? Ladies tell us, someone will say that's God, we are talking about children of God Almighty and not God Almighty himself. O yes, the children and the father are one person. The father gave birth to his children, they have the life and training.







Proverbs 4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 4:3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.


How do you assume God Almighty thinks folks?? Just because the people of the world gets arouses by the tempting figures of naked ladies and greatly lust after it, then someone somewhere will be imagining that the way he thinks or feelings about the situation is the same everyone thinks or feels about it.



1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

One of the first thing you experience when you arrive at the presence of God Almighty is light. That glorious light illuminates everything. That light shows you who God Almighty is, who Christ Jesus's and who have you have for ever become. .

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

The Almighty God does not think as you expected him.

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.




The Gap Inc is more than you could fill in. And so, we tell you the truth that the children of God Almighty have his mind and counseling sow. They have the eyes and the thoughts of God Almighty. We are not talking about fakes , reprobates, not. We are talking about those who have been baptized in the Spirit. We are saying it again, stop acting what you do not understand immediately. If you know that you haven't become a child of God Almighty and you are acting as if you are, be careful, the test will come and you may not be able to escape the room.



1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Kindly edit the topic accordingly. It's not addressed in your preaching.

Your preaching wants Christians to portray themselves in better light and what's expected of them... provided they are genuine disciples.

Yet your topic attempts to describe the way Christians view(perspective) nude photos and videos of women. It's not a question, otherwise your posts would have started with a question.

Its simply a statement of Christians attitude to nudes and explicit videos... there's dissonance between the topic and the entire post.

The post is nice and good. Now edit the topic to what the post demands from them. What the post is meant to correct.

E.g
- Christians should Guard themselves from ....
- What the Bible says on Christians Indifferent to Nudes and Explicit videos of Women...
-Body Exposure in Media: Expectations from Christians.


These are few topics I could come up after reading the whole posts.

This issue of TSA is having a negative effect on education. When universities had a little bit of autonomy, they were better funded. TSA would have been good if the federal government is ready to fund education. Imagine the total budget for education in Nigeria! I pray our government realises the importance of health and education soon.

TSA has it's very catastrophic implications.
In 2017, A regional manager of one of the Transmission Stations (Power sector) complained bitterly that due to TSA, emergencies can't be rectified because there's no ready fund. Accessing monthly maintenance funds will at the earliest be received in a month after notification.

Busbars, Reactors and and Substations that require emergent maintenance are pending till they get approval due to TSA. No idling funds...we are trying to kill corruption but we are in the process killing ourselves.

That's one of the reasons where the more Fashola is shouting, nigeria gets darker.

Read. Read. Read. Read without bias and open your mind to new things.

I don't mean any disrespect whatsoever, but if you read and research well about Awolowo, you'd know that he is an old school Tinubu. Only difference was his free education. Both share same kleptomaniac tendencies.

I know you won't read and research what i jus said. You'd rather come for me for "attacking" your god.

Firstly, Awolowo isn't my god. I know too well his selfish tendencies that is why I told you "...he has his sins...".

Your comment that I responded to was not about the semblance of Awolowo and Tinubu as far as selfish avarice is concerned, if it was that, I'd just pass.

I responded to the fact that you claim you saw good life and normal processes that make life meaningful abroad, just like our leaders also go there and experience it but fail to replicate it here. And while listing the said leaders you mentioned Awolowo in that category of leaders, which given all facts, since 1914 till date, surpassed all our leaders in the context that you have mentioned him.

The issue is very clear, you don't have to type in that tone really. It's not civil for someone that's been to saner climes.

Awolowo is a tyrant, and will never do anything that the glory will not accrue to him. I'm never his fan, but you were reading to reply not understand. It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Which part of the country and which religion? I assume you mean the north and islam. If not that you are a fool and refuse to embrace technology yourself, you would have used google to find out that muslims invented cameras and thus photography(the first camera is on display at the british museum) made by a muslim, the first surgery ever is by a muslim, we also invented the magnetic compass for navigation, electricity(ever heard about the baghdad batery?), we invented algebra and alkemi(chemistry), we build the first university in recorded history, the first public sewage system, we invented perfume and soaps, first cotton clothing, northern nigeria has the only nuclear research institute in nigeria, headed by a northern muslim, we have bio technology research centers in the north, we make night vision goggles for the military at DICON

You keep saying we, we...

Al-gebra and Al-chemy are Arabic not necessarily Muslim(Islam).

There inventions that are English i.e by English men, it doesn't make the inventions christianly.
By virtue of their geography and praying methods (which is basically an important factor to most orthodox religions in positioning the Altar). Arabs are sky gazers (star gazers) and because their region is desertly moving on donkey/horse back...their movements is dependent on sighting the direction and angle of the sun. This one of the earliest technologies, cameras and spyglasses and all...

Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt all are somewhat located in Arabland and much of the earliest technologies and civilizations started in those places. The hindu-arabic numerals belong to Indians who are predominantly Hindus...

And if you check all these Arab countries they are far advanced than Nigeria and these countries even though are much more Islamic than our North, they are still conservative towards technology.

The dude you quoted is telling you the reality of our North. The rich elite Northerners are giving their kids the best education Southerners cannot afford but they deliberately use religion and illiteracy to becloud the vast majority of the North and that is why the North is backward.

The Nuclear institute you cited was started simultaneously in OAU over 40years ago by southern scientists and expatriates but when Muritala saw the rate at which the Nuclear centre at OAU was advancing is too rapid, he gave an order to halt all activities and shut it down so the one in the North can improve.

When NDA was to be established, two places were proposed (Oshogbo and Kaduna)...The North will have it.

The National Control Center of (phcn) is in Oshogbo yes.. but the Server where all information, data and Database is house...located in Shiroro....The North

The first University is in Ibadan, but when the first faculty of Engineering is to be established, it goes to the ABU in 1963.....The North. Yabatech was originally established to train Craftsmen who will assist expatriates at the Railways and help them with fixing broken telephone, telegram lines...


Even though Oil was discovered in the down down south...the most viable and longest serving refinery was situated in the North...

All these was to give Northerners a big leap and edge yet it's dominated by Southerners because the system of control in the North will not permit an averagely intelligent young lad to be ambitious and opt for higher learning except such persons are from royal descent or a wealthy clan.


You cited DICON, the census of the Southern scientists and Engineers working in our military is enough to tell you the North had been backward.

Emir Sanusi is by far the most liberal, and exposed northerner and he has warned his fellow northern emirs of the dangers of backwardness...which they castigated him anyway for sending a female child to represent him...you should not be surprised
He's an alumnus of King's College Lagos. And he knows the North with all the privileges that even you have mentioned, has refused to shun backwardness.

The dude is not arguing where the first technologies came from. S/he is simply stating hard facts that you yourself know are very correct.

Being born in Africa is the greatest calamity that will befall one. When I schooled briefly abroad, the things my mates took for granted, were the things I cherished. Came home hating all our leaders from Azikiwe, Awo, Bello to Buhari of today. These men are just daft and shouldn't rule over people...not even animals.

If you schooled abroad and you are a good student of history, you will know that Awolowo tried to replicate the civilizations he was exposed to here. The same way you saw good life and wish we have it here, Awolowo saw it and tried his best even as a regional head...He was strategically prevented from ruling the whole country.

Western Nigeria had Television broadcasting before France. That was Awolowo.
Western Nigeria introduced the best legacy free learning...(not the scam our present leaders are doing)

Unife (OAU) at the time, was a different environment within Nigeria (we were told, it's an abroad within Nigeria) because Awolowos exposures affected the kind of governance he wanted to give people.

The officers of Nigerian Army who perpetrated the 1st coup led by Kaduna Nzeogwu wanted to make Awolowo the president so he could replicate the civilizations in Western Nigeria to the whole country...

Awolowo should not be in that list. He may be guilty of other sins but one thing he was committed to was to make his people enjoy what has been believed to be exclusively of 'abroad'...the fine things of Life.

Wrong Calculation. Saraki was elected by majority of senators present. All Buhari needs to do is to ensure that most PDP Senators are not allowed entrance into the National Assembly. Then use the Majority APC senators to impeach Saraki.
After all, that is how Saraki emerged, while most APC Senators were absent in the Chambers, he played a fast one on them.

Exactly Saraki has always been faster than them...2steps ahead, infact 1000steps ahead. I'm not his fan but it's clear Saraki is the smartest politician in the country at the moment.

If he played a fast one on them to become the SP in 2015...and have used the last 3years to undo his smartness, yet they fail and he comes out victorious each time. They will always be lagging behind in these Game of Thrones. It's obvious they, collectively, lack the talismanic methods and principles to get ahead of him.

Unfortunately for them now, they've by themselves destroyed any hope of talking truce with him again.


Tinubu is singlhandedly destroying APC by his agidi...his boy Adams is groaning while Oyegun will now be beating chest.

Please I need your advice. Is so happened that I know this lady for years now. we are good friends. But the problem is, I know that as a Christian we can't really get married because she is a Muslim. So I have been trying to keep the relationship on just us being friends, even though I love her and I know She has this little feelings for me. If I had been serious, I know we would have gotten married or close to that, but I keep avoiding her and sometimes I do it on purpose.

Now, where I get really confused is that, any time i pray for God's will in marriage, she keeps coming to my mind. This is not infatuation or something. It has been happening over and over again. I know God also talk to us through giving us this deep impression in our heart.

It was so deep on day that I told the Holy Spirit that I can't marry her. I spoke with my pastor this week concerning this issue, and he said it is not possible for God to tell us to marry a Muslim and this thing keeps coming. am really confuse. because of this, have not been praying concerning marriage.

PLEASEEEEEE, I need Christians to comment on this.

Firstly your pastor is still struggling with the knowledge of how holy spirit works.

Was Jesus Christ a Christian? Research on your answers

Now if you are certain Her father (parents and family) doesn't not restrain her from marrying a 'christian',

If you have not been lusting after and calling it love,
If you're certain you see and have a purpose that she marrying you will greatly enhance the fulfilment of that purpose,
If your family isn't against you marrying from a Muslim family,

Then you can pray through...(praying through means while you dating/courting her you pray till her father officially hand her over to you as your wife, that God should not allow his light evade you). Truly if God wants it to be, you will surmount all challenges regardless and your union will grow....

But If God doesn't want you in the union, it will also not be hidden from you.(and this may not even be because she's a Moslem).

Maybe, verily I repeat maybe it's for her soul to be redeemed, and her household. This redemption could happen before or after the marriage...it could happen at her final moments of breath later later in life.

But Timing belongs to God and only God can convert her so pray to God to direct you and touch her however way God will do it.


---------------------------------:---

Most "Christians" will rush to quote do not be unequally yoked with unbeliever.

Most of us do not understand the wisdom that brought about "Unequal Yoking". Holy spirit will teach you all things by His leading in his time.


If she retains God in her knowledge (Romans 1:28), please study the Bible with her, ask her if she studies the Quran diligently, ask her genuine questions about Prophet Isah in the Quran...you will be amused by the things written about Jesus Christ in the Quran.

Use the Bible to teach her further about Jesus Christ and his role in salvation. Prayerfully of course.

If God is interested in you two getting married...Holy spirit will complete the project even before you start. Just be certain you're not deceiving yourself. Marriage is your decision alone.



Shalom.

I thought Fayemi won...why is he reporting again? Is he scared of tribunal judgement?

Ejimagift:
Protesters sponsored by PDP. Aregbesola is not bad like Fayose in salaries

They're not sponsored!
You kids of nowadays just do not understand balance of stories. Did you do any research?

Fayose owed 8months out of which 4 months had been owed by Fayemi since 2014. In reality Fayose owed 4months.

Aregbesola owes between 14months and 18months of earned wages, pensions and allowances for different categories of workers and pensioners.

Aregbesola is owing gratuities since 2012. And July 2018 makes it exactly 36months that he started modulated salary (half salary).

Aregbe is worse off to the 3rd degree.

Now you see where your comment his childish and you should apologize to those old people ti o ba fe dagba laye re.

Record high unemployment? I am confused , never before has poverty and unemployment exceeded the record of the current govt with over 79 million extremely poor people ( highest ever in human history anywhere) and over 15 million jobs totally lost yet you are part of the people still canvassing for the second for such poor performance.. Deji don't you think you are a hypocrite at this stage ...

Nigeria under Abacha was a million times more secure than it is today with over 20 thousands lives lost in just 3 years to insecurity under Buhari as compared to less than 700 under Abacha ( yet you still support Buhari)..

Its on record that Abacha built more hospital than the current Buhari govt and fixed more road , then our roads were safe you could travel at night without fear of being robbed by herdsmen .. Apart from rampart fuel shortage under Abacha there is no basis of comparison between Abacha and the failed Buhari you currently support.

The present National Hospital was built by Mariam Abacha.

Almost any sane person is wishing we go back to.military reign. This democracy is worse off...
