Service providers are still a thorn in the flesh of the masses not only economically but they are able to cause inter tribal wars. This morning, one bororo woman (a bororo is from northern Nigeria and are majorly pastoral farmers and you can find them in Borno)... Henhen, so she wanted to buy 'sentel handred naira' (hundred naira worth of airtel airtime). She asked me to help recharge and I did. I showed her the confirmatory notification but she couldn't make anythin of it... Then she dialed a number and said the recharge card no enter o. Gbegen... Fast forward her 'colleagues' selling fura de nunu were supporting her based on the fact that her account balance is empty... Since I can't speak their language, I couldn't explain to them that the network provider had emptied her account probably because she unknowingly borrowed or subscribed for a service moreso, after I tried loading the card again the same phone, the notification was 'voucher already used by you'... I had to refund her so as to prevent fracas..she even accused me of preloading the card (me wey dey us MTN)... She thought I wanted to cheat her because she probably didn't suscribe for any service willingly neither did she borrow if I was not careful by refunding, her male folks would have come to destroy my lil shop and probably it would lead to a full blown tribal war (of course with guns, knives, sticks, matchets and swords involved).... So why are network providers exploiting the masses? Must they manipulate the 'unlearned' for economic gains? You can suscribe for any service-easily- by pressing just on key. For those who don't understand, is that not cheating? Someone should warn network providers to desist from this and stop causing trouble... The services self no make sense- text 2059 to 109 for health tips...and all u see is 'brush ur teeth twice a day'

Please do because it's a master key!

In the eyes of some people, yes. It's the same way that some people also believe that Justice Atanda Fatayi-Williams was a traitor (he was attacked by some people in the late 1990s or early 2000s because of his 1979 judgement).

so anytime one becomes sympathetic to the North, he becomes a traitor? The truth is Ogbomoso people naturally have a good relationship with northerners historically, two prominent settlers in Ogbomoso- Soun and Aale- were from the north... Ogbomoso was old Oyo empire's window to the north being a stronghold that boasts of brave warriors. So people migrated to the north and were able to live there peacably... Anytime you decide to be sympathetic to the North ( from Akintola to Adekunle to Adewusi etc) you become a traitor to 'Awoists' and that makes be doubt the Federalism of Awolowo... Because, all those calling Ogbomosos traitors claim to be Awoists. Anyways I'm warning whoever cares to be warned, OGBOMOSO IS NOT A LAND OF TRAITORS, WE ARE A BRAVE AND LOYAL PEOPLE. WE LOVE PEACE AND WE ARE DILLIGENT... IF ANYONE BROADCASTS OTHERWISE, THE DORMANT POWERS FOR YEARS WOULD STRIKE. Ibkgab001 sóogbò

naptu2:
I suspect that he is referring to the 1983 elections, particularly the "shoot at sight" order and the battle between Adekunle Ajasin (UPN) and Akin Omoboriowo (NPN, formerly of UPN) and also the battle between Victor Omololu Olunloyo (NPN) and Bola Ige (UPN).

so that makes him a traitor?

ibkgab001:
Hummmm ilu nla fun Awon odale ( traitor)

if you don't explain this...wetin go happen to you ehn

ibkgab001:
RIP to him But "OGBOMOSHO"

what is wrong with Ogbomoso? Hen?

kaypound:
This is aiding and abetting criminality. If Tomopolo is wise he shouldn't allow his people to suffer for his sins. Odi village was razed down because of a few miscreants....and nothing happened to Nigeria or OBJ.

One of Nigeria's trouble is celebrating mediocrity



before they call me 'hater'... Nice one :p

Toks2008:
This is a very sensitive and twisted issue that needs to be approached cautiously and intelligently.

I have read in many places where people have expressed contrary views on this all time important issue. I have seen where a lady have asked if she can move in with her husband after traditional wedding?,i have seen a case where a lady insists that until a man does the white or church wedding,they are not considered married before GOD.

I have even heard many people stating emphatically that as long as a lady's bride price have not been paid then the lady is not considered married to the man and so many other discrepancies too numerous to highlight.`

Now the big question is what exactly is the module for a wedding ceremony and what ceremony really is ordained by GOD? When can GOD acknowledge a man and woman as married?is there any part of the Quran or Bible that stipulates a direct guideline of how a marriage ceremony must be conducted to be legitimate in GOD's eyes?

I will quickly answer this from the Quran and Biblical angles.


1.From the Quran:Prophet Muhammad (S) considered simple weddings the best weddings:'The best wedding is that upon which the least trouble and expense is bestowed". (Mishkat)

The Quran wedding ceremony module is simply hinged on Mutual Agreement of Bride and Groom called Nikah.

Marriage (nikah) is a solemn and sacred social contract between bride and groom. This contract is a strong covenant (mithaqun ghalithun) as expressed in Quran 4:21. The marriage contract in Islam is not a sacrament. It is revocable.

Both parties mutually agree and enter into this contract. Both bride and groom have the liberty to define various terms and conditions of their liking and make them a part of this contract.


2.From the Bible:I am very sorry to disappoint those who live by "my pastor said" or "my parents say" to empty their heads of every man made philosophy and get this straight...[size=13pt]there is no place in the bible where white wedding,traditional wedding or even court-wedding was ever mentioned and infact there was never a place in the bible that gave any preferred wedding ceremony[/size] and the issue of bride price was never mentioned as a yardstick for marriage but a punishment for rape and infact you can pay the bride price and still not allowed to marry the lady because you only paid a fine for rape-exodus 22:16-17:

It is quite absurd that today,many people have the erroneous belief that until all the three forms of wedding is done then GOD has not ordained such and while some say until a church wedding is conducted,GOD will not bless their wedding and i just look at the myopic mindset of these ignorant people and wonder where on earth they got that wrong doctrine from.

There is one scripture that sums up the steps to follow in any form of wedding ceremony you desire to have and that be found in Genesis 2:24: Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and join to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.


A.The first step is for the man to make up his mind to leave his parents to be with a woman and start a family together.

B.A couple can be considered joined when they are legally married. The scriptural support typically given for this view is the biblical command to obey the government’s laws (Romans 13:1–7; 1 Peter 2:17). A couple can also be considered joined together in God’s eyes when they have completed some kind of formal wedding ceremony whether in the church or culturally.

C.The third and final stage is becoming one flesh which occurs when sexual act occurs and this is why many people are warned against indiscriminate sexual acts as any sexual act is actually fulfilling the third stage of marital union and many people have actually been married to so many people in their life time.

So whether you decide to have just one of the 3 mode of celebration or you want to do Religious,traditional and court,you are very free.But it is important to note that in GOD's eyes the only thing he recognizes as directed by him is for a man to leave his parents,be joined to his wife and lastly become one with her and which ever way both of you decide to go about the ceremony as long as its not against his ordinances,its perfectly ok.

I hope this makes sense.

apologies...are u making ur point based on d Bible or Quran? Moreso, d biblical passages you mentioned aren't dissecting d issue...in short, I assume u are trying to pass to us your own perspective on weddings other than d HOLY SPIRIT's revelations

Oil price is 28dollars. It was 100 dollars in 2014. 90% of our foreign reserve is from oil. There is no miracle. Nigeria economy just have to suffer in 2016 and 2017. Improvement will start 2018

they promised miracles

obailala:
Blowing a whistle to the benefit of 170million people is obviously a more honorable and Godly thing to do than keeping silent and protecting the devilish interests of a few cabal members (which Jonathan did by sitting on the letter).

Besides, Jonathan was even witch hunting Amaechi at the time in question, so Amaechi would have even had a very clear conscience doing what he did at the time.

it was not like they asked him to see it. He leaked it...and for crying out loud it was PERSONAL. Yeah Rotimi did that because of beef... And I call that epocrazy

Highest level of irresponsibility! Why should he reveal private letters? And some hediots are giving him a standing ovation. Tch

No no no. He bought that car not to surprise but spite me! Why would he have to go all length to prove a point? Meaning he still harbours the pain of the past.

the truth is, he's probably nt over your first break up. So if I may ask, how did you guys come together again? And from all indications, you don't trust each other... I think talking to him about it will go a long way.

Buhari was unable to answer some questions because he lacked information. He couldn't say anything about what he is doing to make Rio 2016 a success, he only mumbled on something like Under 17 world cup. Futhermore majority of what he said were the problems we face as a nation 'Mr. President how do you plan to make sure students don't sit on windows' then he said '....we need laboratories, we need to build more infrastructures I THINK it's in the budget 500billion naira or so....' previous governments have budgeted money too, Buhari didn't explain how laboratories will work, the concept of more infrastructure was also not explained. For Buhari who spoke as if running a government is tea and bread...this media chat shows that the man has not laid a plan for the governance of this nation.

Is blood group A the same as blood group A positive?

Falana is a big talker... Now why is Buhari not talking? Because this matter is sensitive. Moreso, why are the majority voicing their opinions listening only to the story of the 'extremists' and refusing to give our ears to the Army. The same Army whose soldiers are willing to die for this nation. If the COAS was killed, what would Falana say? Then others like him will say that the Army is incompetent. The army has evidences, why is anyone not paying attention to them? While I don't care about ur religious affiliations, it becomes disturbing when we pat people who are on a mission to disturb our national security. Yeah u read right ATTEMPTING TO ATTACK NAY KILL THE COAS IS A THREAT TO THE NATION's SECURITY

u are proposing a static period. that's not done, the country needs to grow, our capital expenditure is needed for economic growth if well have any. why don't u support cutting workers salary probably because that will affect u. lol what bihari did is what I called the needful

yeah I'm going to be affected by salary cut... But do I have to always make sacrifices for Nigeria in lieu of those who have a responsibility to do that? Majority of the capital expenditure is usually squandered. Do u bother to ask where billions of our capital expenditure have gone? Yet no substantial infrastructural development so what makes you think capital expenditure for next year is not going to go down the drain? Pls don't tell me 'change'
