That statement from the person of former Defence Minister and ex Chief of Army Staff was short of a patriot. At no point does 2 wrong make a right.

What's the wrong in what Danjuma said?

LibertyRep:
Sensational report.

The seven Virgins only cleaned the compound and nothing else.

Why report it as if some other duties were performed by the innocent girls

7 girls chosen, all 7 had to be virgins, and all were to adorn white robes while sweeping the compound with 7 palm branches.

To me, that in itself is a spiritual exercise; or did you expect the girls to be slaughtered and their blood spilled across before you agree the exercise has some spiritual significance?

Madness comes in different forms. But due to our indulgence in religion and spirituality, people tend to confuse symptoms of madness.

Anyway, regarding the cleansing exercise, are they even sure the 7 chosen girls were truly virgins?

sujexy:
The Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Diocese, Anthony Obinna, has reversed his earlier stand against the governorship ambition of the Chief of Staff to the Imo State governor,
Uche Nwosu as he endorsed him to contest the 2019 governorship election in the state.
Archbishop Obinna stunned church faithful yesterday at the Owerri Asumpta Cathedral
when he made a dramatic turn around asking the congregation to vote for Nwosu and APC.
“He is passing through difficult challenges as a young man with a promising future and aspiration to become a truthful leader”.
Archbishop Obinna who made the remark on Friday during a Cathedraticum Archbishop Support Service, held annually to support Church projects, had earlier vowed that the Chief of Staff will never take over from Rochas Okorocha as the next governor of the State.
His comments generated a lot of controversy following allegations that the clergy was attacked by APC supporters at a funeral church service,
Owerri North, where he castigated Okorocha’s bid to impose his son-in-law as his successor.
According to the Archbishop, “I do not hate APC or the President, those spreading the rumour are enemies of the Church and the government”. He also thanked those who came out to support the church financially during the programme .
Nwosu speaking at the event reaffirmed his Catholic faith, adding that he will do every thing to support the Church.

What exactly is the business of an archbishop in pitching tent with a particular aspirant out of many? Someone who's supposed to be a father to all?

Meanwhile, I can already see some people who praised the archbishop as a mini-god 2 weeks ago now call him unprintable names... Political comedy !

Children of these days......too quick to act
An uncle of mine wrote Jamb for 8 good years, my sister wrote hers for 5years, she is in year 1 now.....why not try to believe God and pray that one day He will remember you
Parents please your children needs your encouragement, no matter how bad they do in exams does not mean they don't know anything..... Intelligency cannot only be accessed through tests and exams. Please don't condem them

Something we all need to to learn is that just as all fingers aren't equal, so also is the ability of each individual to withstand depression different. That Mr A was able to struggle and persevere for 5 years or 8 attempts before getting an admission, that isn't an assurance that Mr B will be able to withstand the same depression. Something else I realised about this story is that the boy is a victim of the horrible quota system we practice in Nigeria cos the boy was said to actually get a good score in his first 2 attempts but couldn't get admitted. Such a sad end!

sammy4life1:
What else can one believe in this country ...... So the person that spoke on TV yesterday is not the IG .... In case u didn't hear him watch this ....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKxDsQEEDaA

Na wa for Nigerian officials.... Even the way the man made the statement, you just know he's mumbling rubbish. When would we ever have responsible and learned people in positions of authority in this country?

Sad story!

There's nothing as bad as trying one's utmost best but still not being able to achieve the coveted price; it's even worse when those around cannot just understand when a person has stretched themselves to their elastic limit but still go ahead to destructively blast the person and kill their spirits and will to live.

Looking at this story from another angle, the boy is probably a victim of the rotten system we have in Nigeria which rewards mediocrity and discourages hard work; the story says the boy passed JAMB in his first 2 attempts but couldn't get any admission most probably due to the senseless quota system of admission which we still practice in Nigeria. Anyway, now the boy is gone, I hope the mother and other parents out there have learnt a lesson from this; we need to be sympathetic to the emotional trials of others.

so it should be sold to Tinubu.

Bros you can sell aso rock too. Running aso rock is a white elephant expense

What do u think?

Nothing which is managed by government, not a single enterprise operated by government works in Nigeria. So firstly, I think the lawmakers are just playing ostrich on this due to the beautifully delivered speech by Natasha Akpoki.

The truth of the matter is that Ajaokuta Steel, even if completed, will NEVER function profitably under the Nigerian government just like every other government owned enterprise; it will continue to remain a liability to the government forever instead of a profit making venture and billions will be pumped into it just the way successive governments keep pumping money into maintainance of refineries in every budget.

After dissecting the beautifully delivered speech by Natasha, all I could pick out of it was that in the usual Nigerian fashion, a rogue concessioning process was about to be executed with cronies buying off the company at ridiculous prices. In my opinion, what the lawmakers should be focused on should be to ensure that the concessioning should be done in a proper and patriotic manner; the idea to stop the concessioning is ill thought and would ensure ASC remains a metallic scrap yard for life.

I hear this story up to 5 years ago. So it's still a 'plan'?

Obinwenite:
You better wake up.....nothing is working in Nigeria, and gov Elrufia is here playing politics .Everything is not politics ,things are fast deteriorating wake up Mr gov .

So what is your suggested solution to the problem sir?.... Gates made a statement, Rufai faulted Mr Gates and corrected the statement. But you instantly faulted Rufai and automatically assumed Mr Gates must be 100% right? Could it be because he isnt Nigerian or cos he's white?... How exactly does Rufai's statement amount to playing politics?

Rufai has simply said the EPRG isnt the problem as Gates pointed, but rather, the implementation at the state level which is where most of the human development really should take place. In my opinion, that makes sense but you simply just dismissed it without giving it a thought.

Nigeria needs physical capital development as much as it needs development in human capital, and it is almost impossible to develop human capital without firstly putting certain basic physical things in place. For a moment, just imagine, how can you develop anything in a country when a most basic physical issue like power supply or access roads hasnt been sorted? There's a reason why every FG in Nigeria since 1999 has focused mainly on physical capital (even though implementation has always been poor). In summary, just like someone mentioned above, Gates means well, but he certainly doesnt understand the peculiarities of Nigeria, he doesnt understand the extent of rot in our physical infrastructure.

“According to the girls, they were release because they were Muslims. Is it a crime to become a Christian in Nigeria? President Buhari should tell the whole world ” CAN said.

The way every matter in nigeria is instantly shifted and turned into politics of 'us vs them' these days is sickening. It totally defeats the chances of any meaningful discussion.

Urging the president to do something about the remaining kidnapped girl is the sensible thing expected of everyone. But then, I'm struggling to understand the motive behind the bolded statement above. Was it the president that kidnapped or asked the terrorists to abduct and not release the Christian girl.

Twisting the statement by asserting that the president isnt doing anything because she is a Christian, and alleging that the president is trying to crush Christianity, it just waters down the value of the statement by CAN and turns this issue into another political matter. And then again, extending the missiles to Osinbajo who is only a powerless VP?...

DeadRat:
Buhari! If This Girl is Killed May You Never See 2019

You didnt pray this prayer against the bokoharam members, but na buhati you know. Was it buhati that kidnapped the girl?

What exactly would a lady use an engagement ring for if she isnt engaged to the man who got her the ring?

bonechamberlain:
so bill gates is surely comparing pmb with gej when he criticised his economic policies. oga ur argument are fallacies cause u still can't prove that there was any comparison in the post, ur only prove is that I mentioned this govt and as a critic or any critic of this evil buhari govt is a gej supporter. this is what we call "ignoratio elenchi".

Like I said before, save this your clever diversions for foreigners; neither of us here is new to English language. When you say northern Christians are in trouble under THIS government, even an elementary pupil can sniff out the comparison in the simple statement to be that northern Christians under 'other' governments were probably safer. So please stop acting like anyone here is new to English.

bonechamberlain:
now u are using the phrase "past governments" if u had used this phrase and not mentioning gej or PDP there would be no need for this argument. u cant assume that the post was to make comparison, with gej or PDP government, because of the word under this government, when we have had numerous govt before buhari, which u have corrected now by using the word "past government". u erred by introducing comparison into the topic. every thing happening right now in Nigeria is under buhari's APC government, whose governments do you want to be mentioned. ibb, obj or the usual gej. if I say our economy is in trouble under this government so I am trying to compare. bill gate has just criticised buhari's economic plan does it mean he is comparing with gej or PDP.

Bro quit trying to be too clever or outsmart yourself. You mentioned that Christians in the north were in serious trouble under 'this govt'. That statement is unequivocally a comparison statement between this govt and its predecessors; of which there is a 99.9% chance you were indirectly comparing with pdp, and not just pdp but the immediate past pdp govt. So please save this your clever logic for foreigners, you definitely werent referring to Abacha or Abdulsalam.

bonechamberlain:
u just pleaded guilty to what u are claiming innocent of. where did u see comparison in the post, "northern Christians are in trouble under this evil govt" what's the relationship with the statement with previous govt and this one or with PDP and APC or with gej or pmb, why bring all that into the post. why didn't you state when their problem started from. instead of bringing in gej, pdp pmb, apc into the post. you people need to find a way of delivering urself from the bad habit of always bringing in the previous govt or gej whenever buharis government is being criticised.

you are the one who just interpreted the issue based on gej, pmb, APC PDP point of view.

You mentioned and I quote, "northern Christians are in trouble under this evil government."

There's no point trying to be too clever about it, a person doesnt need to make direct mention of the words 'gej or pmb or apc or pdp' before it becomes obvious that he/she is making these undue comparisons.

The travails of Christians in the north has been in existence for several regimes; by zeroing it down with the use of the phrase "under this government", you simply made a comparisons between this government and past governments. Stop trying to make it seem like I dont undersrand English language.

bonechamberlain:
northern Christians are in trouble under this evil government. But sometimes u can't pity them, they are still playing the ostrich when its clear there is a systematic attempt to convert all of the to Islam through peace or blood. can't the Christians see what muric is doing, heating up the polity and whipping up Islamic sentiments to favour their religion. CAN, Mbaka, Adeboye, Oyedepo better wake up. . useless country.

Northern christians were not in problem under the last saintly government too right?... The woes of northern Christians only started in 2015 right?....

The compulsion to view and interprete every single issue only from the pdp vs apc or gej vs pmb point of view is now the latest mental issue in Nigeria.

Cyynthialove:
Nig Christians are in big trouble under Buhari's administration.

Islamization agenda is in progress, but some docile and weak Christians can't read the handwriting on the wall. Its a pity.

Buhari is an Islamic fanatic
Buhari is a terrorist.
Buhari shares the same ideology with terrorist shekau, hence his statement about sharia.
It shall never be well with buhari, abubakar shekau, fulani herdsmen and other Islamic fanatics supporting buhari.

Any head slamming terrorist that wl quote me to defend Buhari will receive heavenly thunder.




CHRISTIANS!
CHRISTIANS!!
CHRISTIANS!!!.
Stop bn docile politically . Wake up and do the needful.

The real problem Nigeria is facing is that too many people have brains only for decoration. I guess it was also because of Buhari's administration that over 2000 women and children (including over 200 students from chibok) were kidnapped by the same bokoharam in 2013/2014.

The compulsion to view and interprete every single issue only from the pdp vs apc or gej vs pmb point of view is now the latest mental issue in Nigeria.

"Armed" robber

Solidkay:
Buhari is a Vagabond,

It's obvious the whole kidnap charade was politically orchestrated simply to score some marks against the previous administration.

But come 2019,

Straight to Daura.....

If they were all killed, or if they never returned like most of the Chibok ones, I'm sure a lot of people would be much more excited.

Igboid:
This is the annoying part of this whole thing.
We the pro Biafra Igbos left this forum for the naive One Nigeria chanting Igbos to defed Ndiigbo against their so called fellow countrymen Igbophobia?

But what do we get? These weak group of Igbos can't even defend Igboland from hawks in Nigerian political section of this forum. Anti Igbo peeps and posts are allowed to run amok with little or no rebuttal in the absence of pro Biafra patriotic Igbos.
Is this how this group of Igbos want to do one Nigeria with Igbophobic elements in Nigeria?

Where are the ones that call themselves "Igbo defender ", Obailala, Obikenobi1, etc ?, how come they are never found in threads like this, but rather always found in threads where they continiously push Atiku and APC agenda?

I'm still confused why my name is being mentioned here. I cant remember telling anyone that I fancy being involved in such senseless and pointless dick measuring threads which always end up in exchange of intertribal slurs. So please, if you have a better educative thread, you can drag me in. But please leave me out of these awo vs zik, brownies vs flaties nonsense types please. Thanks

Another bobrisky in the making.

nograv:
So what, does the Lagos Ibadan rail go to Abuja? This guy has earmarked loads of money for a line from Port Harcourt all the way to the North East.

As the original poster said WHY

The largest and wealthiest urban areas in Nigeria are in the SOUTH!!! We should be connecting large major cities in the SOUTH!!!

Abokis don destroy this country Chai...

Even typing this I dey tire

If only people like you will just spend little time with an open,unbiased and unprejudiced mind, then maybe all these needless and endless whining and wailing and nagging will be replaced with quality time spent in asking the right questions to get informed. But obviously, some people just have a deep prejudice against the north and would rather prefer to dwell in nagging.

Nigeria is a country, made up of north and south, and every part of Nigeria has it's importance. That you are from the south doesnt mean the people from the north dont deserve to have a life too or to be connected to civilization.

The old railways in Nigeria built by the British had 2 main lines, the west and the eastern lines. The western line runs from Lagos through Kaduna, Kano and terminates at Kaura Namoda in present day Zamfara. The eastern line runs from PH to Aba, Enugu, Benue, Jos and terminates at Maiduguri.

The Nigerian railway modernisation masterplan has railways which connect the entire country from north to south and from east to west. First bit of the modern standard gauge lines was built by OBJ connecting Warri to Ajaokuta (primarily to connect the two steel plants); the plan is for it to run up to Abuja. Then we also have the western line from Lagos to Kano which goes through Abuja and then Kaduna before getting to Kano. The current govt plans to extend that line up to Daura in Katsina and even Niger republic in future (I'm sure you would wail about that too, so goodluck).

In the recent plan, there's also the coastal line which is meant to run from Lagos through all the coastal states and main cities till it gets to Calabar. This same line is meant to have a spur from Benin to Agbor and Onitsha and Owerri in future. Then finally there is the eastern line which is meant to run parallel to the old eastern rail line from PH through Aba, Umuahia, Enugu, Makurdi, Lafia, Jos, Bauchi and up till Maiduguri.

The line between Warri and Ajaokuta has been built. The section of the western line between Abuja and Kaduna has been built. Currently, construction is ongoing for the section of the western line between Lagos and Ibadan and that is the only rail which is currently being constructed as we speak.

Now today, approval has just been given to start preliminary negotiations for the eastern line which runs from PH to Maiduguri. So the question I ask is, why should this news torment anyone?... abi una be winsh? Is it because you heard Maiduguri?... I'm sure you would have felt much better if the report said the eastern line runs only from PH to Enugu. Must every topic be another avenue for people to display wailing skills and their prejudice against other parts of the country?

Most important thing in all these is that innocent girls kidnapped by monsters have been reunited with their families. Bitter people are free to concoct any theories they want over this.

guterMann:
I like the way she putted the ABDUCTORS in quotation marks,a tongue in cheek kind of.

Madam Oby,why are you asking if the terrorists have been arrested?

Have you ever seen a movie director arrest his actors and actresses for playing their roles?

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN

I dont normally do this but guy, this your alternative English fit putted person for trouble

elgramz:
This pope Francis is a clown. His logic is that the prostitute has no sin but the person that patronizes her is a sinner and a criminal? This pope is a disgrace to Christianity. I have totally lost faith in him. If the fool has his way, homosexuality, abortion, divorce and all manner of evils will become accepted in the church. That's why the clown of a pope finds it easier to support the antichristian liberal political parties all over the western world instead of the Pro christianity conservative parties. This pope is an Antichrist and I support all those resisting and fighting against this agent of Satan in the church

Wonderful... It's been really long since I saw so much foolishness packed in one single post.

I refuse to believe you are an illiterate, so I assume it's your deep prejudice and raw hatred for the pope that has twisted your mind and comprehension abilities. After reading the profanities you wrote, I had to go back to re-read the report to see where the pope mentioned "a prostitute has no sin" as you allege, but I couldn't find it; it wasnt even implied in any way. Maybe you can help us by pointing out the line in the report where you got that from.

You claim the pope is anti-Christ, but reading your fiercely judgemental and abusive utterances, I think it's pretty clear to even the blind who better fits that anti-Christ description.

Firefire:
Professional liar, you people said GEJ was the sponsor of BH to reduce the population of the North. Stop changing the story line & fear God.

That's a childish nonsense narrative which didnt sell. Even a child in Cameroon knows that the loudest theory being peddled in Nigeria is that Bokoharam was created by buhari and apc and the northerners for the purpose of taking power from GEJ. Everyone around the world also knows the theory created by Jonathanians that Chibok abduction saga was orchestrated by buhari and APc purely to make GEJ look bad; even GEJ himself and mama Peace went about selling that narrative (remember the 'diaris Goduo' episode?). So please stop trying to shift the narrative.

StylesX:
I think its stupidity

The picture doesnt give us all the details so no need jumping into conclusions.

queenethedibor:
Thank God. Nigerians are indeed Unbelievable. Girls were kidnapped they blamed PMB, Girls returned they blamed PMB

Bokoharam terrorists went on a rampage killing people and taking territories during the time of GEJ/PDP. They said buhari and ApC was responsible.

Girls were kidnapped in Chibok by same bokoharam during GEJ's time. They said buhari and ApC was responsible.

Years later, Buhari becomes president; the same bokoharam is still on rampage killing people. The same people still claim Buhari and ApC are responsible.

And then bokoharam kidnaps girls from Dapchi. They still say buhari and ApC are responsible.

ANd finally, the girls are released, and the same people still claim buhari and Apc are responsible.

Jonathanians, wonderful set of people with wonderful manner of reasoning. I hail!
