offiong187: High Chief Dr Asuquo Ekpenyong felicitates with Governor Ayade on the conferment of Knighthood By The Catholic Church
The Chairman of Davandy Group High Chief Dr Asuquo Ekpenyong has fecilitated with the Cross River State Governor Senator Ben Ayade on his investiture as Knight of Saint John International by the Roman Catholic Church.
Speaking in Calabar, Chief Asuquo Ekpenyong extolled Governor Ayade's qualities, stating that Ayade is a gold fish and therefore has no hiding place.
"I offer my congratulations to His Excellency on the well deserved conferment of the Knight of St John. It is indeed a clear demonstration of the reward for your hard work, dedication and love for humanity.
"During my interactions with you I have seen your passion and drive to change the fortunes of Cross River and I am therefore not surprised that such an esteemed organization such as the Catholic Church has singled you out for recognition. This is indeed a call to serve, a call to use your good office to spread the word of God even further and I am very confident it is an assignment you are going to excel in," he said.
Chief Asuquo Ekpenyong who is also the leader of the Eburutu Traditional Rulers Council commended the governor’s effort and continued support, contributions and for being the defender of the Church by donating a newly built, completed, furnished and well equipped secondary school block to the missionary, saying “it takes only a passionate heart to display such love for mankind."

sonofanarchy: 17NA 76/6150: PTE Jesam We the 17NA regular course of the Nigerian army writes again in tears and pains in our heart to Nigerians reminding them about the existence of the forgotten intake in the battlefield (17NA /76), we remain the only intake in the history of Nigerian army that has no unit or cores in the military, ever since our passing out parade since 2017 we where deployed straight to the battle field without proper postings as personnel's, we don't know the offense or crime we have committed to suffer such malice. My question to the COAS is as follows: is it in the ethics of the military as a soldier to serve the military without core or units?, to the best of my knowledge the answer I NO, then why are we the 17NA regular course not been posted to core or units?. Since 2017 we passed out we have known no peace, all we see is nights full of pains n tears, we are not grumbling cause we signed in our dear lives to serve and protect the Nation just exactly as we have been doing, but our request is that we should be treated equally like other soldiers, let's be posted to the different cores and units in the military. We have lost 70% of our course mates to these fight of insurgence, my second question to COAS is our we all going to loose our lives before calling for our withdrawal?. Same DEPOT NA every other soldier trained and passed out is still the same institution we also passed out from, let's be treated equally like other intakes too. And also my 3 question to the COAS is if NE operation was to be a foreign operation would u have taking us from DEPOT directly to UN operation?, the answer is NO, reason being they in hard currency.
Omg na real skulls be all these ooh! I bin tink say na helmets these pipu put on before. Dammed it, this na real black skulls!

Oshoboy01: The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has released more shocking prophecies in the midst of the world greatest pandemic, Covid-19.
Among the prophecies, he warned that the nation should pray against more mourning in Aso rock, following the death of President Buhari’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari last weekend and the death of Buhari’s personal bodyguard who died yesterday, few hours after the man of God declared. ‘We still need to pray against any sort of mourning in the villa, President Muhammadu Buhari needs prayer, he is not stable health wise, the nation needs to pray against more death’
He also prophesied that he sees the first lady, Aisha Buhari taking over Aso rock and blocking the cabal activities. ‘Aisha buhari will be popular in the villa, she will be incharge of so many activities to block cabals, if Buhari pick the right person from the north and someone that has admin idea, a northern muslim that will work with Aisha, Buhari government will stabilize, I see a gang up against the new set of people that will take over the villa’’
Also, he also urged Nigerians to pray against rain fall that will cause danger to the health of citizens, windstorm, blood bath in the country, and flood
Similarly, he stated that lockdown will not help the nation in the midst of Covid-19 crisis, stating that hunger will soon come for everyone, which is a dangerous ‘virus’ than Corona Virus. He however adviced the government on steps to take to curb the virus. ‘’ I still want to appeal to the president, that the lockdown will not help our nation, the government should take three steps. The money they have contributed, let us use it to do home mask glass and ventilator, and use part of the money to build hospitals’.
He addressed the backlash received during his previous plea to the government to open churches and mosques. He asked Nigerians not to get his prophecy wrong as his sole aim is not for Offerings or tithes but the welfare of Nigerians. He vowed not to take tithes and offerings if the government listens by opening churches and mosques.
‘I have fed nothing less than 13,000 people within this period, I am going to host muslim widows who are going to start fast on Monday, they are much but Nigerians must not misquote me on my last prophecy about opening the lockdown, I didn’t say that because of tithe and offering. If the lockdown persist, two virus will be fighting us, hunger virus and Corona Virus, the government should put a very serious committee in place to regulate the crowd in churches and mosques, they should be allowed to open with a maximum of 20 members, I don’t mind if they put a rule against collecting offering and tithes, they should not extend the lockdown on 27th of April, it will cause lot of crisis for the government, people will start taking it unserious, people will protest against it. people are not taking it serious again because it has taken more than expected. America is finding a way around it, Ghana has lifted the lockdown, parts of Europe have open business, let us do something too. I said there will be hunger in the land, this is part of the fulfillment of the prophecy. Nigeria needs prayer, the world needs prayer now because this corona virus will bring nations to fight themselves, it is causing fear in the lives of people’’
He said he sees Corona Virus becoming an airborne and serious hunger in Africa. ‘Corona Virus is here to stay, it is not going anytime soon, I see it becoming an airborne disease, WHO and United Nations need to look into this, Government should start doing things to make the economy look better, I see Social Distancing persisting till next year. Covid-19 will cause serious hunger in the world, especially Africa. There should be three days prayer to avert more covid-19 death’
Also, he adviced President Buhari to be careful in selecting who becomes his new chief of staff. ‘President Buhari is troubled in mind about who will be his next chief of staff, so many people are coming to him, if he picks wrongly, it will even bring disappointment into his government, he needs someone who is God fearing, someone who will understand the needs of the masses, not someone who is selfish, someone who has done what is right’’ Picking an x general will help .
He revealed that the vaccine to Covid-19 will be found but it will take time, and that expose so many things in the government of nations ‘They will get vaccine to cure it but they won’t get it faster but they will still get it. Nigeria economy will not be the same, the virus will expose many things in government, I have seen corruption in it, people are using it to dupe the world’
He maintained that his water and Anointing Oil is sufficient to stop the spread of Corona Virus, while commending the Lagos state government, Churches for their efforts to curb the spread of the deadly virus.
Although there have been fire outbreaks, he called on Nigerians to pray against more fire outbreaks in strategic places.
It would be recalled that Primate Elijah Ayodele had predicted the emergence of Joe Biden as Democrat party presidential Candidate, the emergence of Corona Virus in the world, Naira Crash, fall in oil price to mention a few.
I also prophesied that, were it not for the outbreak of China virus a.k.a. covid 19 pandemic, Liverpool FC would have won the league by now. Abi I no try Tell that man to go and read the Bible very very well. I recommend him to read Ezekiel Chapter 13 vs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 22 to the end.
sunnymighty: Good morning nairalanders, please pardon my errors, I will go straight to the point, I work away from home but ensure I visit my family every fortnightly, on Monday 9th of March, 2020 at about 2am in the middle of the night I received a distress call from my wife that hoodlums had invaded my compound with the intent of vandalizing the mast installation located within my premises, after making several distress calls to those concerned and the attempt foiled, they made away with my generator, we also discovered my fence was badly damaged in the course of gaining access into the compound. Over a month after this unfortunate incident I am yet to receive any response inform of compensation from the organization regarding the generator that was carted away and my fence that was badly damaged by these hoodlums after a report regarding the above mentioned incident was claimed to have been submitted by the security supervisor in charge. I had to spend my own money to mend the fence that was destroyed, no money can compensate for the trauma that my family had to go through during this terrible experience. Please I want to know, is it in place to demand for compensation? Or better still, put who pays for the loss? Thank you.
You don't get legal advice and opinion for free man.. Locate the next law office if you think you've any right to compensation
solaugo1: Abba Kyari's Burial: Why I Was Barred From Aso Rock; Garba Shehu Explains (Read Tweets)
Some top aides of President Muhammadu Buhari have been denied access into the Presidential Villa in Abuja after returning from the burial of the late Chief of Staff to Buhari, Abba Kyari, today.
The burial at Gudu Cemetery was attended by a large crowd – most of whom had no nose mask or hand gloves on them for protection against Coronavirus.
This development violated the social distancing rule put in place by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and exposed attendees including the Presidential aides to the risk of contracting the highly contagious and deadly disease, which claimed the life of Kyari.
Information reaching us is that some of the President's aides refused access into Aso Villa after returning from the burial include State House Chief Protocol Officer, Ambassador Lawal Kazaure, Special Assistant to the President, Yusuf Sabiu, a nephew to the President, Musa Haro Daura, and Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the, Garba Shehu.
Others are National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, Director-General of National Intelligence Agency, Mr Ahmad Rufai, and Personal Assistant on New Media to President Buhari, Bashir Ahmed, among several more persons.
In a swift reaction, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the, Garba Shehu took to twitter to explain his side of the story.....
He said;
There is nothing extraordinary about those of us who attend Abba Kyari’s funeral being advised to distance ourselves from the Villa.
This is in line with the standard rules put in place by the National Center for Disease Control, @NCDCgov and the Federal Ministry of Health. You do these things to stop the spread of #Coronavirus.
For the most part, the Villa has operated digitally in the last few weeks so there is really nothing new to this.
Our reporter gathered that security personnel at the Villa turned back the aides of President Muhammadu Buhari after attending the burial ceremony of Mallam Kyari and coming in contact with several persons against the rule of the NCDC.
“President Buhari is not happy that the aides decided to violate clear protocols and guidelines of the NCDC and he directs that they should keep off the Presidential Villa to undergo self-isolation,” a Presidency official says.
ogododo: At least five women and children died on Saturday in a stampede when cash and clothes were handed out to thousands of displaced people in Borno, militia and local people told AFP.
A large crowd surged forward for the government aid distribution and people were trampled under foot in the town of Gamboru, near the Cameroon border, a region hit by jihadist violence.
“Five dead bodies, four women and a little girl, were brought to the hospital along with seven injured,” a medical source said at the hospital.
“We learned that (other) bodies were identified and claimed by relations from the scene,” the source added without specifying how many.
However, Umar Kachalla, who heads a local anti-jihadist militia force, said: “There was a crush which led to the death of 12 women and children and left seven with severe injuries.”
Some of the dead were taken to hospital and others claimed at the site of the stampede, he added.
Thousands of women had gathered at a primary school for handouts of 5,000 nairas (13 dollars) and clothing supplied by Borno state governor Babagana Umara Zulum.
“There was a stampede as the distribution was about to start,” in the morning, said local resident Yahaya Bukar, who also counted 12 dead.
Gamboru, a border trading hub, has been repeatedly targeted by Boko Haram insurgents since August 2014 when the jihadists seized the town along with nearby Ngala.
Nigerian soldiers re-took both places a year later with the help of Chadian troops after a series of offensives that lasted months.
Residents returned to both towns but some 70,000 live in squalid camps at Gamboru and rely on food aid from international charities.
Fourteen people died on Friday and 15 were badly hurt in a blaze in the town’s main camp.
The insurrection has killed 36,000 people and displaced 1.8 million from their homes in the northeast. The violence has spread to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
The Presidency on Saturday said there was nothing it could do to bar the crowd who thronged the Gudu Cemetery, Abuja to pay their last respects to the late Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Independent, Mallam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Media and Publicity said they never invited the public to the funeral and couldn’t have invited soldiers to flog those who have come to pay their last respect to deceased.
He added that in their bid to ensure crowd control and social distancing, the burial was delayed and they had to proceed as more people kept trooping to the cemetery.
Was there any invitation for the public to come for the burial? Go back to my Twitter handle and read what I posted. From 10am, when we picked up the body at the airport, we said a message out that the funeral will be private and that the public should please go and pray for Abba Kyari”.
“We also said no condolence visits to the President and family. What can we do? Are we going to invite soldiers to flog people who came to pay their last respect to the man?”
“We didn’t invite people. We were trying to move people back and observe social distancing and it was delaying the funeral. We just have to do it because people are not ready to leave. What are we going to do?” he asked.
Shehu, in a series of tweets on Saturday, shortly after the remains of Kyari arrived at the Defence House in Abuja for his burial had said “We just received the body of Abba Kyari, the deceased Chief of Staff the President in Abuja”. “In strict observation of the protocol put in place for the burial of Coronavirus victims by the NCDC, and the Federal Ministry of Health, the funeral prayer and burial will be private. “Thereafter, there will be no such ceremonies as condolence visits. “Well-meaning friends, family members and the general public are encouraged to pray for the repose of Abba Kyari’s soul,”.
Mr. Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen and the erstwhile HOS of the Federation Mrs.Wilfred Oyo-Ita, are yet to send in their condolences over the death of the COS to the President Mr.Abba Kyari...! I hope all is well

chosen04: Children Killed As Air Force 'Accidentally Bombs' Borno Village ============================
At least 17 people were said to have been killed when a fighter jet belonging to the Nigerian Air Force fired a bomb on Sakotoku village in Damboa local government area of Borno state.
Residents told TheCable that those killed included women, and children who were said to be playing under mango trees.
The air force, military sources said, was informed that Boko Haram insurgents were gathering around the village on Thursday afternoon.
The supposed target, according to a source, was an area in Korongilum, a neighbouring village 12 kilometres away where suspected Boko Haram insurgents had gathered earlier.
“We don’t know if they didn’t communicate well with the land troops as the air force jet fired that bomb on the village,” one of the sources said.
“Seventeen people were killed, mostly women and their children playing under mango trees. Many were also injured and have been taken to the 25 army brigade in Damboa, and those with critical injuries were taken to Maiduguri.”
Some of the villagers whose houses were destroyed have found their way to Damboa.
In February, residents of Garkida, Adamawa state and Korongilum, Borno state, had alleged that NAF fighter jets refused to open fire on suspected Boko Haram insurgents when they attacked their communities.
Ibikunle Daramola, NAF spokesperson, had then told TheCable they could not engage the insurgents because the situation in Garkida was chaotic, and that they took the measure so they would not hit civilians.
In 2017, 126 civilians were killed in Rann, Borno state, in an accidental air strike by the military.
When TheCable contacted about the incident in Sakotoku, Daramola said: “It’s a matter of operation” and the defence headquarters would be in a better position to speak on the matter.”
Both Onyema Nwachukwu and John Enenche, defence headquarters spokespersons, were not reachable for comment as they neither responded to calls nor replied text messages.

President lockdown What a scam of a century Lockdown extension without nothing to ameliorate the suffering of the citizenry, what kind of sensible leader does that
Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker representing Kaduna central district at the upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly, has warned that weak governments could be overthrown due to “the economic and social fallout of COVID-19.”
Shehu Sani warned that the government’s inability to manage the current situation could lead to revolutionary insurrections, civil unrest, rising violent crime rates and widening the fault lines of fragile societies and nations.
In the last few days Lagos, the commercial hub of the country has witnessed a high rate of crime with armed robbers taken over most parts of the State.
Many Nigerians have lamented government inability to provide relief materials for the masses after it announced total lockdown two weeks ago.
And the former lawmaker believes that “The Economic and Social fallout of COVID-19 can lead to overthrow of Governments especially in weaker nations,” he tweeted. Not mentioning Nigeria .
“Revolutionary insurrections, civil unrest,rising violent crime rates and widening the fault lines of fragile societies and nations. #CoronavirusOutbreak #CoronaVirusUpdate.”

Cirilla: Are there any kuffaar who love the Muslims and wish them well?
Allaah has stated in His Book that the kuffaar bear enmity towards us and they would not spare any effort to cause us harm, and they wish us ill, and they will not be pleased until we follow their way. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
119. Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e. you believe in the Tawraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), while they disbelieve in your Book, the Qur’aan]. And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe.’ But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: ‘Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allaah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets).’
120. If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious — See V.2:2), not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allaah surrounds all that they do”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:118-120]
“Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till you follow their religion. Say: ‘Verily, the Guidance of Allaah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance.’ And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur’aan), then you would have against Allaah neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor any helper”
[al-Baqarah 2:120]
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The words of Allaah, “Take not as (your) Bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your religion” mean people other than you, the followers of other religions. A man’s bitaanah (advisors, friends, etc) are his closest friends who know about his private affairs. Then he narrated the report of Ibn Abi Haatim with his isnaad from Ibn Abi’l-Dahqaanah, who said: It was said to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him): There is a slave from the people of Heerah who is literate; why don’t you employ him as a scribe? He said: Then I would have taken a bitaanah from people other than the believers. Ibn Katheer said: This report, along with this verse, indicates that it is not permissible to employ ahl al-dhimmah as scribes in a position of authority over the Muslims where they can become acquainted with their private affairs, where there is the fear that they may disclose them to enemies among ahl al-harb. Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely”.
End quote from Tafseer Ibn Katheer (1/528).
Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, forbids the believers in this verse to take close friends from among the Jews, Christians and followers of whims and desires, and to consult them and delegate their affairs to them. … Then Allaah explains the reason why He forbids being close to them, which is: “since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you”, i.e., they will not stop striving to corrupt you. In other words, even if they do not fight you openly, they will not stop plotting and planning.
Then he said: The words of Allaah “Lo! You are the ones who love them” mean the hypocrites, as is indicated by the words “And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe’”. This was stated by Abu’l-‘Aaliyah and Muqaatil. Love here refers to good will, i.e. you, O Muslims, have good will towards them but they do not have good will towards you because of their hypocrisy. And it was said that what is meant is: you want them to become Muslim and they want you to become kaafirs. And it was said that those referred to here are the Jews, and this was the view of the majority. The word Scriptures here is generic. Ibn ‘Abbaas said: What is meant is Scriptures, and the Jews believe in some of them, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And when it is said to them (the Jews), ‘Believe in what Allaah has sent down,’ they say, ‘We believe in what was sent down to us.’ And they disbelieve in that which came after it” [al-Baqarah 2:91].
“And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe’” i.e., in Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and that he is the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). But when they are alone amongst themselves they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage and say to one another: Do you not see how these people are prevailing and increasing in number? End quote from Tafseer al-Qurtubi (4/177).
Al-Tabari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: What is meant by the words “Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till you follow their religion” is: Neither the Jews nor the Christians will ever be pleased with you, O Muhammad, so stop trying to please them and seek the pleasure of your Lord by calling them to that with which Allaah has sent you of the truth. End quote, Tafseer al-Tabari (1/565).
Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, states that many of the people of the Book wish that we would embrace kufr, out of envy and hatred. He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Many of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, out of envy from their ownselves, even after the truth (that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is Allaah’s Messenger) has become manifest unto them. But forgive and overlook, till Allaah brings His Command. Verily, Allaah is Able to do all things”
[al-Baqarah 2:109].
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Allaah warns His believing slaves against following the path of the kuffaar of the people of the Book, and tells them of their enmity towards them, both inward and outward, and the envy that they feel towards the believers, even though they are aware of their virtue and the virtue of their Prophet. End quote.
Allaah says concerning the people of kufr (interpretation of the meaning):
“How (can there be such a covenant with them) that when you are overpowered by them, they regard not the ties, either of kinship or of covenant with you? With (good words from) their mouths they please you, but their hearts are averse to you, and most of them are Faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)”
[al-Tawbah 9:8].
This is how they are; they please the Muslims with their words, but their hearts are filled with enmity and evil.
To sum up, even if there are some kuffaar who seem to love the believers, one of the following three scenarios must apply:
1 – It is just artificial and outward show with no basis in reality, as our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, tells us, and He knows best what their intentions are and what is in their hearts.
2 – It happens with the one who has abandoned Islam and has taken the kuffaar as close friends, and has thus become one of them, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them” [al-Maa'idah 5:51]. Hence they are pleased with him and love him.
3 – It may be genuine but this is very rare, and what is rare does not prove anything. It may be due to the kaafir not adhering to his religion or because of his not caring about religion, as is the case with many of them nowadays.
What every Muslim must do is beware – as Allaah has warned him – of taking the kaafirs as close friends and confidantes and feeling at ease with them, whether the kaafir appears to be friendly or hostile, and whether he is sincere in his love or not. This is the established rule concerning which there can be no debate.
And Allaah knows best.
The only religion that engage in killing after prayers is Islam If you doubt me, ask prophet Mohammed, Abubakar Shekau & their likes
