Should the president be told? Or is self isolation also synonymous with deafness?
Hasn't he heard what his colleagues who call themselves presidents are proactively doing for their citizens? Smh for naijeria

Unpatriotic, I agree. But then cowardly a statement coming from a honorable minister. If your office can't fix a reasonable price, who will?

Honor your father and mother. True. But not in this manner Mr Speaker.

This is your personal matter Bros. Just sell only two of your cars and you will be fine, trust me.

Bloody coward

No! Not at all! Not even till the end of time itself. Why? This is because the epileptic power situation is only a symptom of a main underlying cause which if not dealt with will result in the perpetuation of this and other symptoms.
Take it or leave it, Nigeria is beyond redemption!

This senselessness will not stop until this jungle is declared the "Islamic republic of Nigeria". So I ask of the pretentious religion of peace aka Islam, what happened to the principle of "live and let live"?

If indeed what you dug up is true, then truly the internet never forgets!
I have been doing a lot of thinking and one of the conclusions I have arrived at scares me deeply.
The conclusion that it will be very difficult, if not extremely difficult for a Nigerian Christian to make heaven. This is a resource topic for another day.

SoftP:
Op is self righteous.

@No.1- some churches that starts at 6.30am, careless about the security of others especially the less privileged members. offcourse most preachers are mobile, can u say same for all church members?

@2. Not everyone likes front seats as most ushers Compell members to take front rows. Some persons are introverts, if u force them, u ruin their self confidence

3. Oga, if u have an emergency case as a doctor or pressing needs at home, u won't attend to it baa because say u dey church baa'. Kilode?

4. @ chewing gum, i guess many persons chew gum to stay awake. Pointless unless you go loud with it

@No.9. Some preachers prefer keeping members all day in church, sometimes with irrelevant announcement.
Oga, if u have a job to do' abeg go work ooo. Our God is not a selfish God


I'm not in anyway against sanity in God's vineyard, but the way people takes christianity so stiff in this part of our world makes it look as if it's base on compulsion and not salvation.

biko, Una dey make people fear church for Africa.

Not at all. Op isn't self righteous, rather op simply spoke according to his level of knowledge. In Christianity, the deeper your knowledge, the more broad-minded you become ( 2nd Timothy 2v15).

Let me cite some examples

I have very delicate ears and as such I keep a safe distance from loudspeakers. True, when I make it to church minutes before the commencement of service, I get to choose any location to sit. However will I have to incur a hearing impairment all because I decided to obey the ushers and allow them place in an uncomfortable location? Judge ye.

I am a medical practitioner and my phone line is expected to be active 24/7. For instance, after completing a call duty from Saturday to Sunday morning and handed over to my colleague and gotten to the church with my phone switched off. I really wonder how my colleague will be able to reach me for further clarifications on a particular patient whilst in Church. You may choose to give a wave of the hand answer but before you do, assume your relative is the patient in question for whom urgent clarification is sought. I bet you will curse me from wherever you are for switching off my phone! Mind you, I have never switched off my phone in the banking hall and I receive calls there too. Like I usually do at the petrol station and in the church, I step out to answer the phone which is usually set to vibrate while in Church.

Let me stop here before this turns into an epistle. But op, please let love lead.

You mean should Lagos keep buying buses for Tinubu?

Right question!

A recurring decimal. This is one of my grouse with this shithole called Naija. AFN has a technical department that is present in Doha right? Right.
This technical department then reeks of irredeemable mediocrity if they don't know all of what the IAAF holy Grail says.
You would expect heads to roll ie people in this department loosing their jobs upon their return from Doha, right? Wrong. None will even get a query.
I am tempted to say "God help Naija" but I know He won't because naija is not ready to help herself.

So za oza room has been empty kwo?

This soon-to-be senile elder statesman,who goofed two God given opportunities to remedy this nation from the failed trajectory it is presently on, has somehow found his voice again.
This part of his retrospective tirade got me -
“You should rather fashion another way to show your displeasure and not doing so at the expense of your patients,” Obasanjo said.

To which I ask, "Sir, could you please specify other ways through which medical personnel can express their grievance (s) that will inadvertently get the attention of the Government"

I hope it's clearly specified that only non-alcoholic brands are allowed. Or else...... there will be a lot of highnesses behind the wheels

Wen u here words like the below, it is mental problems talking.

According to the books, it's referred to as the Delusion of Grandiosity. Like I said, the books categorize those statements as emanating from one with such a disorder. I am not the one saying it oh, it's the books.
For me, I have no comments because I have gone past caring.

CONSOLIDATION

That's not enough. They should have severed his manhood too in my opinion.

Oh finally sir, you are suddenly emboldened to say the truth. Now I can call you an elder because before now, all I saw in you was sycophant. An elder speaks the truth for many reasons, some of which are:
He proves that wisdom gets better with age
He is not afraid to die
He wants posterity to judge him fairly

To the rest of you, believe in one Nigeria at your own peril!

Serena Williams Keeps Fighting, But Falls Short in Another Grand Slam

SEAN GREGORY September 8, 2019
At the U.S. Open, the Arthur Ashe stadium crowd never ceases to insert itself into the action. Remember, for example, a year ago, when the angry fans — still ticked by a controversial call that took a game away from Serena Williams — booed while Naomi Osaka was receiving her first Grand Slam title trophy, creating one of the most uncomfortable sports moments of this century. During the second set of the women’s final on Saturday between Serena Williams, 37, and Bianca Andreescu, 19, of Canada, the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers as Williams was flailing, in a sort of desperate attempt to rescue her.

And for awhile, the roars worked. Trailing by a set and down 1-5 — the match was for all purposes over — Serena started playing like, well, Serena. “I was just thinking, honestly at that point, Wow, this is terrible,” says Williams. “I just couldn’t go down like that.”

So Serena’s U.S. Open heartbreak continues. Four times in recent years, Williams arrived at Ashe on a seemingly inevitable march towards history. In 2015, she entered the U.S. Open having won the year’s first three Grand Slam titles, attempting to become the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win the calendar year Grand Slam. Italy’s Roberta Vinci, however, shocked her in the semifinals. A year later, Williams could have broken Graf’s record of 22 Open Era Grand Slam titles in front of adoring American fans. She fell in the semis again, this time to Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic. (Williams broke Graf’s record in January 2017, when she beat her sister Venus Williams in the Australian Open while pregnant).


After missing the 2017 U.S. Open to give birth to her daughter Olympia, she came back to New York last year to try to tie Court’s overall record of 24 Grand Slams, but lost in the final to Osaka. With this loss to Andreescu, she’s still chasing Court.

Such recent failure doesn’t diminish Serena’s remarkable return to tennis since giving birth to her daughter in September 2017. No athlete has come back from a life-threatening labor, to return to top form in a grueling individual sport like tennis, in her late 30s no less. She’s played in four Grand Slam finals since the start of 2018. No other woman can match that mark.

Still, going winless in these finals is rankling her. She hasn’t even won set in these last four Grand Slam finals appearances. When someone asked her after the match if the losses are having less of an impact on her, Serena gave the questioner a proper side-eye. “I honestly don’t think Serena showed up,” she says.

The Ashe crowd received Andreescu warmly during the awards ceremony after the match. Thankfully, no controversy caused ugly booing in back-to-back years. Andreescu acknowledged that the pro-Serena crowd was her biggest hurdle to victory — the fans laughed — and Serena thanked the crowd for inspiring her comeback.

“I’m like so, so close, so close, so close,” says Serena. “Yet so far away.”

So back to the question. Is there any chance Serena might be involved in match fixing or do these recurrent losses in epic finals suggest a jinx?
Please pen your thoughts....
