Thank you all.

I could have give you people the name of the Pastor, the church even his phone number but i will not do that 'cos i don't want to blackmail him but the bible say whosoever cover is sin shall not prosper, so its between him and God if he make the confession.
The Pastor is a well known person to me, he didn't deny the incident and he felt remorseful, he knows about every things, he even help us in getting the orphanage home. When there is too much closeness between Pastor and a female church member is too dangerous because they are human beings too and devil can test and use them too.

The pastor help her when she don't have anywhere to stay then, at least she live with them in the church more than a year before they transfer the pastor and such things didn't happen as far as i known then, He is a married man with children and he is the one of the pastor that i respect and still respect him so its left for him and God to reconcile.

The problem now is that my G.F is emotionally attached to the babies, she only talk about them, she called the orphanage thrice or more than in a day, i feel jealous 'cos she don't give me attention like before, i told her my mind she said is not easy to forget about them, that they are only her gains for all the pains she went through i feel for her, she wept uncontrollable when i told her to forget about them for now and try to be focus about her study. our introduction is next month but  i just don't know how to make her happy like before again, she is not herself again, she called herself after two, fairly use and all sort but i always told her that my love for is still strong even more than before.

Pls i don't post here cos of financial help as some people are insinuating and for those who call me lier and all sort i pray such never happen to you.

[size=13pt]Lagos, Police Sue for Calm as False SMS Spreads Panic[/size]


A text message, which claimed that a portion of the Third Mainland Bridge was about to collapse, caused panic in Lagos yesterday as those who received the message made frantic calls to loved ones to avoid the ever busy bridge.

The Lagos State Government and the state command of the Nigeria Police, however, reacted immediately, issuing separate statements to debunk the claim and urging Lagosians to be calm.An anonymous text message had surfaced around mid-day alerting recipients to a breakdown in the middle of the bridge.

Addressed to “whom it may concern”, the message claimed that, “The middle part of the Third Mainland Bridge just had a sharp crack and is about to collapse!!! Drivers Beware!! Send it to your loved ones ASAP! Channels TV is currently showing live updates on this unfortunate occurrence.”

The message sent the state into a frenzy as recipients called loved ones and motorists started avoiding the bridge. This forced the police and officials of the state government to carry out urgent on-the-spot inspections to ascertain the condition of the bridge. After the inspections, the officials issued separate statements affirming that there was no problem at all.

Channels Television also refuted claims that it showed live feeds of the alleged breakdown. Police Public Relations Officer Frank Mba said the text message was a fraud, explaining that the prank was “highly disturbing.” He rued a situation where people deliberately spread panic by using GSMs to circulate false messages. Mba, a Superintendent of Police, said: "Our attention has been drawn to the an emerging but highly disturbing trend, whereby some unknown persons use modern communication devices such as GSM voice calls and text messages amongst others to circulate messages presumably alerting members of the public of on-going crimes (usually the violent ones) within specific locations in Lagos.

“The message or broadcast usually ends with a warning to residents and their loved ones to keep off the specified area where the alleged crime is said to be taking place.”
He said the dangers of allowing this dangerous trend to continue unchecked are unquantifiable. Mba also condemned the action of those behind the text message scare saying, “Human and material resources that ought to have been deployed by the police in tackling other problems are usually momentarily deployed in responding to these pseudo distress calls”.

Also reacting to the text message scare, the Lagos State Government assured motorists and road users plying the Third Mainland Bridge that the bridge is safe.
The state government urged Lagosians to disregard the false text message. In a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Work and Infrastructure, Engineer Ganiyu Johnson, and his counterpart in Transportation, Hon. Kayode Opeifa, the government said there “is nothing wrong with the Third Mainland Bridge.”

The statement urged Lagos residents to go about their normal duties, with words of assurance that there is no cause for alarm. The state government said it had contacted the Federal Controller of Works in the state, Engineer E.U. Mgbemena, who had also guaranteed the safety of the bridge.
THISDAY that learnt that the trend had started since the weekend when a false text message was also sent round

Oh! just noticing you are now a moderator here.

Just co-moderate the section fairly and we will be fine. Welcome and good luck.

The facts on this thread are not contestable by both parties. The interpretation and judgement of these facts is left for each individual.

I now understand why many call SLA a traitor. For me he is a gladiator quite well, only that he took his ambition too far

and if i may say, his actions were more selfish and not much in line with the aspirations of the majority of Yorubas.

Sorry dayo, I do not buy those achievement you listed as being substantial, rather I see them as SLA and his cohorts personal gains.

I think Awo is the one guilty of Long throat here. Eating your cake and having it. Leaving your position as premier to contest Federal, Losing it and expecting to come back to be Premier

But Dayo, the fact available does not suggest this. Awo did not come back to be premier. When Akintola was removed, it was Adegbenro that was elected not Awo.

The only fault of Awo was that he was overbearing, and SLA want some independence. but then Awo was still the Party leader.

Just too bad it was personal egos that led to all these problems and unfortunately it was the  Yoruba people that  suffered the most. IMO

tpiah:
what's that supposed to mean?

you patronize p.rostitutes at tarkwa bay or where.

abi na for nl you see am.

and since the discussion is a negative one, i guess lagos has suddenly reverted to being majority yoruba again?

Naaa. i see the display each time I go home and I am from Lagos.

@Beaf

Prior to the Portuguese name of Lagos being adopted, Lagos was originally called Eko, which stems from either Oko (Yoruba: "cassava farm" or Eko ("war camp", by its Bini conquerors. History has it that the Oba of Bini sent various trade expeditions to Ghana where spices were traded and one of his traders complained about the way she was being treated by the Awori's. The Oba of Bini then sent a trade expedition by sea. Ironically, the leader of the expedition arrived in the evening at a time when the people who were predominantly fishermen were either wading into the water or getting into their boats to gather their catch. He declined to engage them further and returned to what is now called Benin City where he reported to the Oba of Bini that they were attacked. This prompted the Oba of Bini to constitute a war expedition led by Ado, a Bini Prince to go to Lagos and demand an explanation. This was over 650 years ago. However, on getting there, they were well received. The people were so enamored with Ado they asked him to stay and lead them. He agreed on the condition that they surrendered their sovereignty to the Oba of Bini to which they agreed. The Oba of Bini was told this and he gave his permission for the expedition to remain. The Oba of Bini later sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist Ado in the running of Eko. Till today, the Oba of Lagos is the head of all the Kings in Lagos State and his status is different from other Oba's most of whom were later given back their crowns and staff of office only within the last 40 years and have various classifications. Suffice it to state that those who got their crowns back were the original land owners. These were Olofin's children. Moreover, modern day Lagosians have so intermingled that no single tribe or people can claim it even though the predominant language is Yoruba. The present day Lagos state has a higher percent of this sub-group who allegedly migrated to the area from Isheri along the Ogun river.

I have heard this story mixed up severally. The fact is some men (few in numbers) on expedition came from Benin, who married and settled among the Yorubas, speak their language and follow their culture, died and some buried in Yorubaland. So many tribes got mixed up with other tribes at one time or the other, that does not make the minority that got mixed with the majority the dominant. Yorubas were in lagos before the expedition from Benin arrived. They were few and in minority, else Benin language would have been dominant instead of Yoruba Language. Trust me their is nothing Benin left in Lagos save the blood connection we shared.

I am from Lagos, a descent of Kosoko royal line, my family is spread across epetedo in isale Eko and Epe town and I am a Yoruba- Period!

chyz:
I see you still looking for a battle woman  . i still dont understand why sum of you people contine to deceive yourselves. Im saying this as a fact, i can have any yoruba woman you bring my way,its that easy.  I know you cant get igbo women and thats a fact too, theyre not loose like your women.  Or maybe yoruba women just get loose whenever they see igbo men.  

I laugh in Tokyo

A visit to Lagos will convince you, trust me its buy-one-get-one free. (no hating)

unbelievable!

Special Adviser on Inter-Governmental Affairs my foot!

What qualifies her for such role? lemme guess, She is Late Yaradua's daughter! Nonsense!

tkb417:
get some perspective

Give me an example of what you should criticise Awo on?

leadership qualities, ruthless ambition/inordinate political desires, philantrophy, bias for economic emancipation of an average yorubaman or his political tussle with Akintola (who in a bid to satisfy his personal ambition teamed with the 'perceived' enemies)

lemme ask this, what would Awo do if he was in Akintolas shoes? run to the North to oust his fellow yorubaman?

i think not

akintola is a sage like awo but i can say he orchestrated his own demise with his long throat politics.

lemme be clear to remove all ambiguities

Awo is not celebrated because hes the best behaved yorubaman that lived but for his political ideology and what he did for an average yorubaman

Akintola on the other hand was demonized cos of his anti party, anti yoruba moves to satisfy personal ambitions

Gbam!

@topic

Hope becomerich will be present to discuss & facilitate the joining of Yorubas, edo and bayelsa with Benin republic

IBB is now a savior! let him save his reputation 1st, if he has any left. Nonsense!

a ridiculous idea.

IbrahimB:
That was about 2 months ago or thereabout.

Leaders are trying hard nowadays to show that they're simple and approachable.
Obama attended a TV show the other day talking about his daughters and popular culture.
Maybe its a publicity stunt - to show the electorate that Mr. President has no problem mixing with the common folks.

I believe it can happen in Nigeria - after the soldiers and MOPOL have cleared out the other diners first 

hahaha lol. But Obasanjo visited Mr Biggs joint at Abuja with the Liberian president, saw the video then.

For me i appreciate the light shown by both Dayokanu and Katsumoto. These men (Awo and Akintola) both have their virtues and weaknesses.

But overall I think Awo is more revere because his leadership, policies and style benefited the Yorubas more.

Somehow, joining mainstream politics have not achieved much progress for us in the west, present PDP control states in the west are good examples.

More reason why I support/advocate for true federalism may be on the region line or state line.

^^The reason i said those were in response to your claim that 'As long as it collects money from the center, it is reliant on other states; therefore, it should be merged with surrounding states to make economic sense'

My point is that Lagos is giving more than it's receiving. And in event of 'every one to his tent' or resource control, Lagos will not be a weeping state, rather it will be better for it.

Yes, i agree with you the answer is true federalism, not more new states.

Beaf:
^
The ports belong to the Federal govt. So any taxes go to the FG.

like i can as well claim the oil wells in your region belong to the FG.

Beaf:
As long as it collects money from the center, it is reliant on other states; therefore, it should be merged with surrounding states to make economic sense. There will be much less duplication of jobs, ministries, much less senators and reps etc. It makes better sense to merge it with others than to split it.

Beaf have you compared how much goes into the federal account from Lagos with what comes to Lagos from the federal? Do you know how much VAT and other taxes including the ports charges that go to federal from Lagos?

dayokanu:
This quote actually showed what the issue was, The part in bold showed how overbearing Awo was. Akintola was premier yet Awo was doing a lot of covert stuff to undermine him.

If you are made a governor and another an-ex governor was giving orders (Almost similar to Tinubu-Fashola) Would it be reasonable for ppl to expect fashola to just be a stooge of Tinubu?

The point is Akintola refused to be a stooge of Awolowo. Since they are equally educated its an insult to take orders from anyone. An Aare Ona Kakanfo for that matter.

But Awolowo was still the leader of the party now. Are Ona Kakanfo do take oders from his Leader - the alaafin.

Thank you

matoyeh:
Being in luv with a prostute is not a problem if she can change,
but how do you feel when you are in luv with someone 50% of her families dont agreed with you, ?you decided to find some strategics to cool those that dont agree with you down, later you find out that your girl is seriously cheating on you with different kind of men, when you ask her, she tells you that she has alot of responsibilities and once you can not bear it and afford to take absolute care of her, she will find some one who will rescue her
but, she seriously love you.
what next please after 2 years of friendship

This is likely to continue for the rest of your life if you continue the relationship, cos i doubt you will ever be able to satisfy all her desires/responsibilities. So think!

Wrong section. this should be on nairaland section not family section.

but if you ask me, I actually think appointees shouldn't be automatic delegates, it is not fair

but the question is, why now in the middle of the game?

^^^Nobody is exonerating any Pastor, we are simply saying the OP story does not add up, whether the accused rapist is a pastor or someone else

chaircover:
I am however more inclined to believe that the poster is the biological father of the kids. No sane man will fret so much and go to such length to protect another man who so blatantly stole from him. it doesn't make sense.

This is not love and if he truly loved this woman he wouldn't let such an injustice to this woman go without him doing something about it even if its as simple as blowing the whist. I am therefore eating my previous words about the poster loving the girl so much he wants to cover her up. There is more to the story than the poster is letting on.

I hate having to open this thread, but your 'report to moderator' seems not to be getting any attention.

The last few pages of this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-467117.160.html#msg6441391 need your attention. Pls act. thanks.

I dont believe the rape story a bit. This is one of the most ridiculous rape story I have ever read

there is one Pastor she know well when he was still preaching in there area, one day the pastor called her that he will come and visit her around 10pm so she agree, she stay alone in a room apartment she rented outside school, she is already sleeping before the pastor came, they gist together the pastor plead with her to stay overnight she agreed, she slept off, according to what she told me she said she wake up middle of the night and find the man on top of her she pushed the man away, the man plead with her, she taught nothing happen 'cos she is a virgin and she didn't see any blood then and her pant is still on(so innocent i think), thats how she got the pregnant.

I think the OP is 'the pastor', they did whatever they wanted, pregnancy came, they hid it cos of the shame and now they are looking for some people to keep the twins till they probably get married, get a job and possibly relocate from the area. Reminds me of these 2 church brother and sister who lay on each other naked without he penetrating, she later got pregnant and was wondering how possible.
