BrownEnvelop: The Katsina State Hisbah Board has destroyed no fewer than 850 bottles containing various alcohol products in Kankara Local Government Area of the state.
Dr. Aminu Usman, known as Abu-Ammar, the Hisbah Commander in the state, disclosed this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Katsina on Monday, January 8, 2024.
Usman said he led the disposal of the alcohol bottles on Sunday in Kankara, accompanied by government officials. He also reiterated the state government’s commitment to combating any form of immorality within the State.
He clarified that some of the intercepted alcohols were found in a vehicle heading to the town, while others were seized from places where they were being sold within the local government.
Usman said that the establishment of the board empowers Hisbah to thoroughly search throughout the state to uncover locations where immoral acts are being committed.
The commander appealed to the residents of the state to consistently report houses and locations in their communities where such acts occurred.
He urged the general public to provide continuous support to the board in fulfilling its responsibilities to create a more conducive environment in the state.

Spectators: The relationship between Betta Edu and Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, you don’t know
The moment it became public knowledge that Betta Edu has been embezzling funds meant for vulnerable citizens, I knew Olubunmi Tunji Ojo would be very much involved. Having never held public office in Abuja, I knew that Olubunmi is her teacher and facilitator. Everyone in the corridors of power in Abuja knows that their relationship is not ordinary. I recall that on the day of their screening at the Senate, they drove in the same car and walked into the Senate building hand in hand. I also recall that they visited Senators prior to their screening together. Olubunmi has been around since 2019 when he became a Member representing his constituency in Ondo State, and because of his very active role in supporting Bros Gbaja in becoming Mr. Speaker, he was rewarded as Chairman of the NDDC Committee. The rest is history. Olubunmi never spends Naira. He is known to be one of the largest spenders of dollar bills in Abuja. It was this constant availability of dollars that attracted Betta to him in the first place.
That he's good to you doesn't negate the fact that he also treated a lot of other people badly; until we understand this our society will remain in shambles. Most of our evil, greedy politicians are good to the people in their immediate circle: their drivers, assistants and aides generally, and why? because their lives are literally in the lhands of such people. Not because they are naturally good.
Nigerians are astoundingly gullible when it comes to matters of religion. If you want to be rich just get some white robes, open your own church or mosque (or shrine) and be speaking gibberish. Nigerians will come begging you to take their money, the ladies will even offer you their pussies for free after paying you
Ajoke claimed that she never felt fatherly affection from the late pastor and that her father compelled her to be a disciple to ruin her life.
Now that his own child has come out to reveal how he molested and abused her, synagogue-slaves cannot continue lying that the revelations were/are made by enemies working against them and their fake ministry
We4all: If Davido were an ordinary man with his type of nasty attitude, spiritual forces could have broken his wings long ago. Although, no ordinary man would have his kind of attitude and he is pushing his luck because of his status.
Regardless, he is one of the most charming and charismatic celebrities and these qualities are working for him. I like him but he needs to work on his personal relationship with others as the complaints are getting out of hand.
What else did you expect from a rich man's brat that has been pampered and mollycoddled all his life growing up
Any small thing you hear 'my daddy this, my daddy that' even at his age and social level...Davido is a daddy's boy
Anashe: One, you haven't answered his question. Two, Nairaland is not the place to point out the 3 things you "need" in your wife/girlfriend or what is customary or traditional to you. Three, you can tell them that offline however you like. Restore tradition within the confines of your home because it sounds delusional to want tradition restored from the Romance Section of Nairaland. Nairaland is a little over 3m subscribers compared to Nigeria's population. There are a lot of men on this forum who wouldn't resort to slut shaming and name calling or outright misogyny to prove a point, so you don't speak for all men. Debbie's husband has been on this forum for years and it was also some men that have shut him up about being a simp that have turned round now to hail him for "scoring" a wife he loves into submission. The same scripture that said "wives SUBMIT to your husbands" also says "husbands LOVE your wives". Some of you don't have a clue what love is.
Haha people that don't love their parents how can they love a total stranger...all they want is sex and the free housekeeping and cooking
NwaNimo1: Evidence of widespread abuse and torture by the founder of one of the world's biggest Christian evangelical churches has been uncovered by the BBC.
Dozens of ex-Synagogue Church of all Nations members - five British - allege atrocities, including rape and forced abortions, by Nigeria's late TB Joshua.
The allegations of abuse in a secretive Lagos compound span almost 20 years.
The Synagogue Church of All Nations did not respond to the allegations but said previous claims have been unfounded.
TB Joshua, who died in 2021, was a charismatic and hugely successful preacher and televangelist who had an immense global following.
The BBC's findings over a two-year investigation include:
Dozens of eyewitness accounts of physical violence or torture carried out by Joshua, including instances of child abuse and people being whipped and chained
Numerous women who say they were sexually assaulted by Joshua, with a number claiming they were repeatedly raped for years inside the compound
Multiple allegations of forced abortions inside the church following the alleged rapes by Joshua, including one woman who says she had five terminations
Multiple first-hand accounts detailing how Joshua faked his "miracle healings", which were broadcast to millions of people around the world One of the victims, a British woman, called Rae, was 21 years old when she abandoned her degree at Brighton University in 2002 and was recruited into the church. She spent the next 12 years as one of Joshua's so-called "disciples" inside his maze-like concrete compound in Lagos.
"We all thought we were in heaven, but we were in hell, and in hell terrible things happen," she told the BBC.
Rae says she was sexually assaulted by Joshua and subjected to a form of solitary confinement for two years. The abuse was so severe, she says she attempted suicide multiple times inside the compound.
The Synagogue Church of All Nations [Scoan] has a global following, operating a Christian TV channel called Emmanuel TV and social media networks with millions of viewers. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, tens of thousands of pilgrims from Europe, the Americas, South East Asia and Africa travelled to the church in Nigeria to witness Joshua performing "healing miracles". At least 150 visitors lived with him as disciples inside his compound in Lagos, sometimes for decades.
More than 25 former "disciples" spoke to the BBC - from the UK, Nigeria, US, South Africa, Ghana, Namibia and Germany - giving powerful corroborating testimony about their experiences within the church, with the most recent experiences in 2019. Many victims were in their teens when they first joined. In some of the British cases, their transport to Lagos was paid for by Joshua, in co-ordination with other UK churches.
Rae and multiple other interviewees compared their experiences to being in a cult.
Jessica Kaimu, from Namibia, says her ordeal lasted more than five years. She says she was 17 when Joshua first raped her, and that subsequent instances of rape by TB Joshua led to her having five forced abortions while there.
"These were backdoor type… medical treatments that we were going through… it could have killed us," she told the BBC.
Other interviewees say they were stripped and beaten with electrical cables and horse whips, and routinely denied sleep.
A shocking journey into a maze of manipulation and terrifying abuse perpetrated by one of the most powerful religious figures of the 21st Century
On his death in June 2021, TB Joshua was hailed as one of the most influential pastors in African history. Rising from poverty, he built an evangelical empire that counted dozens of political leaders, celebrities and international footballers among his associates.
He did, however, attract some controversy during his lifetime when a guesthouse for church pilgrims collapsed in 2014, killing at least 116 people.
The BBC's investigation, which was carried out with international media platform Open Democracy, is the first time multiple former church insiders have come forward to speak on the record. They say they've spent years trying to raise the alarm, but have effectively been silenced.
A number of our witnesses in Nigeria claim they were physically attacked, and in one case shot at, after previously speaking out against the abuse and posting videos containing allegations on YouTube.
A BBC crew that attempted to record footage of the church's Lagos compound from a public street in March 2022 was also fired at by the church's security, and was detained for a number of hours.
The BBC contacted Scoan with the allegations in our investigation. It did not respond to them, but denied previous claims against TB Joshua.
"Making unfounded allegations against Prophet TB Joshua is not a new occurrence… None of the allegations was ever substantiated," it wrote.
Four of the British citizens who spoke to the BBC say they reported the abuse to the UK authorities after escaping the church. They say no further action was taken.
In addition, a British man and his wife emailed eyewitness accounts of their ordeal and video evidence - including recordings of being held at gunpoint by men describing themselves as police who are also members of Scoan - to the British High Commission in Nigeria in March 2010 after fleeing the church. In his email, the man said his wife had been repeatedly sexually assaulted and raped by Joshua. He warned the commission that other British nationals were still inside the compound facing atrocities.
He also says no action was taken.
The UK Foreign Office did not respond to these claims, but told the BBC that it takes all reports of crime, including sexual assault and violence against British nationals overseas, very seriously.
Scoan continues to thrive today, under the leadership of Joshua's widow, Evelyn. In July 2023, she led a tour of Spain.
Anneka, who left Derby in the UK to join Scoan at the age of 17, told the BBC she believes there are many other victims who have yet to speak out. She hopes further steps will be taken to uncover Joshua's actions.
"I believe the Synagogue Church of All Nations needs a thorough investigation into why this man was able to function for so long the way he did," she said.
DesChyko: I have some things to share with you, but the fact that you used 'guys' instead of 'men' in this case, makes me think you're likely not into the marriage business and is talking from a single man's point of view. 😎
In which case it is better to let you learn your own way.
You're joking, right? Because what difference does it make if I refer to men as guys?
I bet am way older than you are in reality, because you wouldn't obsess over such an inconsequential lexical point if not for the fact that you lack actual life experience
You can marry today, she leaves tomorrow morning, will you die? You have to be alive to marry another one, is it not true?
You buy global7000 and it crashes, will you die? You buy a new car and armed robbers take it on the road, will you die? You must have shock absorber. That is the only way you can survive.
If you want to survive in life, you must have a shock absorber.
President Tinubu told me when we were meeting that somebody told him not to trust me, he said NO. Politics and betrayal are the same mother and father.
If you don't want to be betrayed, don't enter politics. So, don't be bothered that somebody betrayed you because politics and betrayal go together.
Prepare yourself that it will happen.
So when I see most of you, you come toe crying and say I can't believe this will happen, once you go, I will find one good whiskey and drink and say see this one, he is not prepared.
I am fully prepared. That's what President Tinubu taught me, if you don't want to be betrayed, don't enter politics.
These young men, members of the Rivers State House of Assembly didn't tell me before they defected to the APC. They said if they had told me, I will have said no so they had to do the needful.
