bayooooooo: Because she/he can't do it!

At the height of your stupidity, Gods love still overwhelms you! Don't be fooled by mere scientific knowledge... theres something greater than manipulating materials! Remember this say...."God is not a MAN....." Do not get too excited.... await the display of the sons of God then you will know how truly you have been fooled by your scientific knowledge thinking that is all there is!

Most of you criticizing Bakare in here, your now vibrant liver chickend out when His likes was confronting Abacha to enthrone good governance in the Land. @beaf... your destiny is like the Ashes of the whirland, just like a little child writes and erases his drawing pad.... so are you days in the hearts of men.

Nigeria Police and the SSS wasting their time running after those who ordinarily in a sane and civlized clime would be given more grounds to help government remain focused in serving the people. If a man's speech is helping many to seek accountability from their inept government,what is so wrong in that? This FG has nothing good to offer Nigerians and no matter the spin they put...their intentions are well spelt out in their actions.

Nigerians can not fail to amaze one anytime any day! You cannot make right by doing wrong yourself. The action of the American government is illegal, undemocratic and against the international laws.

Nigeria is a soverign nation. If the American government has any evidence of illegal activities amongst the embassy officials, they are at liberty to expell those officials or follow the diplomatic channels to get them removed from the country.

Wallie: You said Nigeria is a "sovereign state." What exactly does that mean? Doesn't that mean that the Nigerian government has control and autonomy over what happens within Nigerian borders? Is the US now within Nigerian borders?

If Nigeria is a sovereign state, which is true, shouldn't the same be true for the US also? You cannot go to another country and break their laws without repercussion. Period. Here’s an article about a US Army Major that was jailed in Nigeria over illegal possession of arms. http://pointblanknews.com/new/exclusive/4042-nigerian-court-jails-u-s-army-major-over-illegal-possession-of-ammunition.html

Even if you have diplomatic immunity from prosecution, you will still get expelled out of the country, which is highly embarrassing for the government in question.

The compounds, cars and persons of Nigerian embassies in the US is an extension of Nigeria and as such, is outside the jurisdiction of American law but that does not include bank accounts in private US institutions.

Your case is flawed in that this is the account of the Federal Government of Nigeria and not that of an individual representing the FG. Perhaps you really do not know what an Embassy represents or what it truly means! Are you saying the FG should begin to operate a bank in America for the sake of her embassy or consulate?

Yes Nigeria government officials siphone moneies out of the country, but that does not mean our collective sensitive should be insulted by the number 1 crooked nation in the world

What has the location of an Engine got to do with an Aircraft Glide ratio Dual engine Failure is considered Catastrophic - an surely, both Dana Air have an explanation to do! Same goes for the maker of those engines.

bisiaet: Qoute from Mr Fireman
"I don't need Pa Enebeli's healing to authenticate my healing and miracle ministry. I have healed top Hollywood actors of AIDS and other diseases, why didn't I post them online?

"His healing miracle is not near the biggest miracle I have performed. So, why would I want to take glory for his healing?" the pastor asked.


But goodness who posted this time wasting thread here again. He said he healed AID pls if he is sure let him proof it by telling us the name of that Nollywood actor that got heal by from AID. Mr firemean name please?

He claimed some miracle are proccessed to be nutured to maturity isnit and that is what his Bible said to him? Beside I will be the last to call him pastor because he is never a pastor talkless a healer except I will call him a magician. Moderator should remove this thread is just pure nonsense is really boiling me up seriously.

when you have little or no knowledge of healing ministry, then keep your lips sealed! Do you know the difference between being healed and being made whole? Why pass comment on another's master? This is how some of you bring curses upon yourself and the things connected to you! If the healing be of God, then it is up to God to stand up for His name and if it be not of God, it is upto God to do otherwise. Why take up anger over a matter you Lord not over? If this man do perform miracles by the evil powers you claim, why don't you do otherwise using the God given free power made availabe to all to heal the sick as well? Or are you in denial that to every man God has given a measure of Faith

Nigerians are a difficult people! A man files a law suit, suing another man..... what next? curses and abuse are rained on him by Nigerians! God save you lots.

As someone from the SS, come 2015, just like I did in the last election, I will NOT vote GEJ! I know too well he has nothing to offer Nigeria and if ACN/CPC can merge and produce two candidates of good repute, I will jump on the plane again to NAIA to go cast my vote!
I am tired of the wickedness of PDP criminals! If you want any indication of what progress Nigeria will make after PDP is kicked out from ASO Rock, take a look at those states where PDP was sent packing, they have witness positive change albeit still little by where thy ought to be!

BaBa Mike: [color=#000000]Well said man! The age of an Airplane has never caused one to crash.the frequency of maintenance or pilot errors are what we should be worrying about.[/color]

Did you make this statement out of ignorance? Aircrafts are designed with a 90-95% confidence and 90-99% reliability until they reach what we call useful life which is capped in either fatigue flight cycles or flight hours which ever occurs first. Since most structures including that of aircraft are fatigue design driven, you would expect that as the aircraft ages in terms of flight cycle or flight hours, the likelihood of failure would increase. It would amaze you if you knew what do transpire at MRO facilities and how many concessions are cleared when these aircraft go for maintenance.

Ask yourself, how many of the world aircraft crashes were of new aircraft?

I know a sound airline operator when I see one, but in Nigeria, there is none to be called sound. Arik air tried to come close but they have been badly managed!bad for what this ex-Air Nigeria dude said, he that has an ear let him hear!

Why waste much time on this issue, if GEJ like, let him rename UNIBEN after His chief armed robber Aka Mr, fix it! Meanwhile, the National Association of Fishermen hat wearers of Nigeria, (NAFHAN) heartily congratulates our dear patron and classified mums in chief for the successful renaming of the University of Lagos to MAUMAU, Lagos to mark his one year in office!

Hope those of you who wanted fresh air are enjoying it! I dey laugh oh!

debosky: What exactly does changing energy policy to be 'inward looking' mean? If the US decides not to purchase Nigeria's oil it IS a big problem - you can't glibly wave that away in the name of some 'strategy'.

There is no 'policy' being made to buy less oil from Nigeria - it is a simple case of demand and supply. The US is producing more crude domestically hence needs to import less, nothing more.

I doubt Nigeria 'create assive wealth' with oil - the sheer size of the population in comparison to the oil revenue makes that highly unlikely. Better utilisation will help, but will not lead to 'massive wealth' in itself.

simply put; Create a home front where you utilize a larger percentage of the crude you produce rather than exporting 80% of your crude to the international market like we currently do. And a 100 times, I disagree with you on the US's refusal to buy Nigeria's oil as that being a problem. Couple of years ago, it was said that if the European stop trading with Africa, we would collapse as a continent, but guess what, EU is now Africa's third trading block with China first and the US second. What you may not know is that there are other huge markets out there where Nigeria's crude is highly desired and we only need intelligent minds to strike the right deals. Even the US knows this.

There is a delibrate policy by the US as part of their "Secur Energy Strategy" policy dating way back to Bill Cliton's era. To say US is producing more crude domestically hence the need to import is now less is far from the truth. Rather what you are witnessing is a strategic move by the US. If your assertion is to be believed, why is there a call for the US to release part of the nation's strategic reserves to help cool the crude prices to pre-2008 levels to further stimulate economic growth?

Nigeria can and will create massive wealth with oil! If we utilize the revenue we currently get from oil to empower the current active population by providing cheap and affordable means for them to engage in business, then put in place and effective taxation regime that sustain growth, the government would be smiling to her external reserves with massive cash in savings! You do not need to "share" the oil money like some of the middle eastern countries are doing rather use that oil wealth to create enabling environment that would stimulate innovation and vibrant enterprenueral spirit in business, commerce and industry! That is where we are currently failing as a nation! Imagine if we use our oil wealth to develop our rail lines, electricity, road networks, and improve security. These will no doubt reduce the cost of doing business in Nigeria, encourage more people to engage and be engaged in business, commerce and industry! It can be done, we only need leaders with a mind set of selfless service to Nigeria and not the share the moeny leaders we currently have!

What most of you do not realize is that it is us the younger generation that hold the power to sway things our way! It does not matter what the US think or does with regards to their energy policy, what matter the most is the strategy we put in place to create pesudo chaos and make their policy in-effective!

To put it mildly, it is not how or what another thinks about or towards you that defines you, rather it is what you think about or towards yourself that truly defines you! So the ball is in Nigeria's court and what we make of it is left to us! There is no need of panicking if the USA decides not to buy our oil or reduces the volume they purchase drastically.

With a population of nearly 280million, we can create massive wealth with the oil and alter the dynamics of other countries by changing our energy policy to be inward looking first before the outside world!

Yes, we know we seriously need to diversify our economy and put agriculture at the fore front! But this must not be done at the expense of our natural resources being left under-developed or exploited in a reasonable manner to fashion a sustainable economic growth and development.

Reading comments like these, it is not difficult for any spiritually insightful person to know why most Nigerians suffer the way they do! Hence the prayer for Nigerians: May God not pay us a people, a nation back the way we have ridiculed him!

Why do we, Nigerians come across as a people with a wicked and treachous heart, devoid of any sense of Godly reverence, delightful in evil and always abiding in the works that bring not God glory? Least we say God be not for us as a people, but be it that instead we have turned Gods hand against ourselves by our wicked thoughts and ways!

MAY GOD IN HIS MERCY NEVER MEASURE UNTO US HIS WRATH IN LIKE MANNER AS OUR HEARTS HAVE DRAWN DEEP UNTO WICKEDNESS!

[quote author=ti-ebe]Hello! please i have an odd question to ask. . . i know its probably silly but i know the uk embassy can b quite funny sometimes. . . i've always applied for uk visa through abuja but due some some reasons, i'm more likely to apply through lagos this time. i've always got my visa, but i have this silly feeling that applying from a different place will some how result in a refusal. is this my concern completely unfounded?[/quote]It does not matter where you apply. UKBA process certain visas in Abuja and all others in Lagos. So whether you apply in Lagos or Abuja makes no difference. If you go to the website of the Agency that does the application processing on behalf of UKBA in Nigeria, they tell you on there where your visas will be processed. I rather would spend my time making sure I get my documents prepared inline with the high standards and requirement of the UK immigration rules and ensure I use genuine documents than worry about where my application is processed! Whether you submit in Ghana or in Nigeria, if your application falls fouls of the rules, the ECO will deny you the visas! I know people who have applied in Lagos for years and they always get their visas so long as their documents are in order!

So worry not and keep your document intact and fill out the form with consistency in information provided now and in the past and be truthful, honest and sincere in your reasons stated in your application form!

Check this thread or the previous one, I have uploaded this info to a similar post to yours. I think I also included the contact phone number of BHC Abuja Visas Section that deals with Appeals. Follow the advice I gave in that post. WARNING - Patience is the watch word in getting BHC to request you to bring your passport. Also, make sure your financial status is not all different i.e., not worst than as at when you applied for the Visas 'cos the ECO can demand you provide him/her with your upto date bank statement or any other document for that matter!

topsnet: yooo my good people its been a while since i was here and was refused a uk visa due to negligence on my own side... Now i want to apply for tourist VISA and thios are the following document i have:

Pls is there any other thing that is missing and pls i want honest answers about my chances because i don't want to be refused thrice it would hurt me bad
Thank you
God bless u all

You are almost there except for the HOTEL! Let me explain better what the previous poster was trying to draw your attention to; An average low cost Hotel in the UK per night is about £35 per night. Multiply that by 30 days and then convert it to your sister's 1.3M Naira and you will suddenly realize you are giving the ECO the weapon to shot down your flying kite!

Any sensible individual would conclude that you cannot afford to spend virtually all of your sister's 1.3M Naira on this trip hence you do not have sufficient fund to sustain yourself - which may give the ECO the red flag that you'r possible an escapee! So why not put in a 10 days or two weeks hotel booking, and apply for 6months visas? Then when you d oyour sums, you would have sufficient money left for your flight, feeding and shopping!

shooqueen: Hi I'm new to the site and need help my husband has been refused a UK settlement visa, we will be putting in an appeal but one of the reasons given was that my husband did not declare that he has previously been known by another ID (they gave a name and date of birth of someone old enough to be our nonexistent son)and have biometric details (fingerprints) of my husband held by west midlands police. This is just not possible there has been a mix up somewhere; we think my husband's biometric details have been allocated to someone else in the vac or immigration offices. Has anyone come across anything like this before? Has anyone got any ideas as to how we can get a copy of both sets of biometric details? Please help!

First, did your husband at any point in time have anything to do with the West midlands police? If yes, then He needs to start the clean up from there. If you appeal, the Judge will look at the facts presented by you& your husband and the HO Solicitors. Knowing how despicable the HO Solicitors are in their attempt to convince judges even with outright falsehood, then your best chance of winning to to get the miss-up (if any) by West midlands police cleared otherwise the Judge will rule on the evidence of facts before him or her!

I am sorry your case is one of the fears people expressed about UKBA/HO's ability to handle biometric data and many more people are already having their finger print mixed up without them knowing!

Nonsense! What is good in a vessel brought in to win contracts? Was this vessel built by Nigerians or will Nigerians ever be in a position to replicate or advance this vessel in 10years time?
We all know why this corrupt frog eye looking minister is celebrating! New vesta of corruption has arisen - next you will hear in the name of local content, this company is awarded a contract of $1bn to lay pipelines to Jos

Does anyone still take GEJ's government serious? I only feel sorry for the innocent blood of Nigerians that He will yet shed to remain in power! But the more worrying aspect is when the time comes for Nigerians to truly elect those with foresight to lead the Nation to true greatness, they resort to ethnicity!

For all I know, GEJ is the new definition of incompetence!

Useless FG..

Ever wonder why in the East, North and West when these appointments are made, a native ALWAYS emerge even when there are better candidates? Merit my foot! Why has an Hausa or Igbo attain the position of VC in UI,OAU or UNILAG? The truth remains,in Nigeria today, virtually every ethnic group have individuals with distinguished careers however, the major ethnic groups in my own opinion have long sacrificed merit on the altar of ethnicism

Also,the agitation by these minor ethnic groups to have their own in these top positions also boils from the fact that when non-ethnic head these positions, they carry out ethnic cleasing bringing in thier own people who largely are not as qualified as those they would be replacing!

My take on this, if there is Bini person who is competent to be the MD of that hospital, then he shoild be made the head! Afterall Federal Character is only relevant when it favours certain interest.

Simply wow! Thats my reaction to some of the comments in here. In any sane society,serious investigation would have begun to establish whether the President have abused his office by soliciting directly or indirectly a gift from a company that have in most recent times won huge contracts from the government.

For those of you that see nothing wrong in this just 'cos others are doing it, I feel so ashamed that your kind abound in Nigeria. No wonder the country is retrogressing in every aspect!

Of all the needs of the people of Bayelsa, a 2,500 church is now a priority? How about a decent community center where both spiritual and physical learning can be undertaken? As a christian, I find highly disturbing that not even the leaders of the Angelican communion saw this act as inappropriate!

Some Nigerians are truly out of touch! The UK PM only rode on a horse which had a tie to a scandal ridden newspaper and He was forced to apologize.Sometimes saying I am sorry even when you'r right is the best option. GEJ is not a man who words cab be trusted, so I cannot 'see' the truth in the explanation of his lung throat talkative Abati.

Sad to see what years of poverty and neglect has done to so many Nigerians to the extent they can no longer recognize good things even in their own country!

ocelot2006: My friend stop right there. You may fool non-indigenes with this post of yours, but not me. Attah spent EIGHT BLOODY YEARS "planning" but did zilch/nada/nothing. During his tenure, Akwa Ibom was no better than Ekiti state. And please tell the house what "advance" stage Attah left the Airport project, and please do not lie to anyone here. It was during the first year of Akpabio's tenure that the construction of the runway, taxiways, the massive MRO facility, and other facilities began. I doubt if Attah even cleared the fucking bushes. And which bloody road did Attah build during his 8 year tenure. Is it the old Abak road that was filled with so many pot holes I stopped counting? Or the Abak-Afaha Obong-Ikot Ekpene road that was almost cut off by gully erosion? Hey, maybe it was the old Etim Ekpo road that looked like something from National Geographic?

Please stop spewing lies and give Gov. Akpabio his dues. That man has performed.

Wait until Akpabio leaves office, I am sure your mouth that is running like cold gravy would sing a different tune!

God forbid!

There is no need for all the noise. The smart thing to do is issue the ultimatum, follow due process in doing so and let the 30days expire. When next BA or Virgin flies into the Nigeria airspace, the are denied landing rights. That would send shock waves across the Atlantic down to the English Channels!

I for one I do not fly BA, ad after flying Virgin, seeing how fleece their customers, their counter is a complete no go for me anywhere in the world!

It has been said over and over again. FG should be transparent, set-up an investment arm like UAE. Let these investment arms pour in money into several Nigerian own airlines and make them competitive and professional. Imagine how many jobs it will create if we have just 5 Nigeria owned and based 5th generation airline flying to nearly 70 destinations across the globe!

Just to add, the UK government threat of retaliatory measures is simply a threat. We know how fragile the UK Economy is and Nigeria is one of UK's largest trading partners in the developing economies. Nigeria have far less to loose as much we currently import from the UK can easily be gotten from the Far East. If BA or Virgin is wise, the should smartly design a reward scheme to compensate their customers in the interim while making serious plans to adjust their price and not get banned 'cos the spiral effect might be too damaging for the already dying BA!

Sad reading most of replies to this article. A wise man when told of the success of others would earnestly desire the wisdom that make them successful and work hard to surpass them.

I for one, 'm challenged when I see my fellow humans take advantage of God's word to change their world and I am propelled to do much more than I am currently doing! Where were you lots when Oyedepo was doing His home work? Or you lots think God's word is not potent and Dynamic as it claims? Instead of complaining, go to God and seek wisdom and understanding of how to make wealth and impact your world for good.

Think of it, so far this man has investments that have kept several Nigerians employed for years and who knows what the lives of most of these Nigerians would have become after all!

Lastly, if you want to know why Oyedepo is so so so prosperous is simple: Obedient to God's word by acting in Faith! For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto Salvation (which includes unending spring of prosperity, joy, Divine Health, Righteousness, Right living, etc)

The truth is,many christians do not even know what 'sin' is!

I will encourage the lots spewing insults at Pastor Chris to go read these verses;
Ro. 14 vs 19-24.
Maybe they can explain what the bible ment by this definition of SIN;

Ro. 14 vs 23 "But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; AND EVERYTHING THAT DOES NOT COME FROM FAITH IS SIN".

God bless the heart who discarns thus!

Chei! y me come miss this match nah

HighSpot:
Thanks u so much for your responses. We are working on getting all necessary documents. But remember i stopped working and no salary is paid into my account for now, my husband sends money though ,but not like salary,is that ok or u think i should get more funds? I just want my financies to be justified,that's y im not putting funds there,getting money to put there is not a problem since my siblings can help,but will it be justified? Thanks for ur time and comments,u cant imagine how its helping to ease some stress.

Hello,
Having the money in your account is no problem at all. If you are asked to come back for a one to one interview, (which is what they sometimes do when they want to upturn their decision), then explain to them plainly how you had to stop working, and be honest and straight forward, by making them realized that you were working before, but that you had to put your work on hold following plans by your husband that you relocate to join him in the UK.

Like some one mentioned above, keep on praying and be patient, before March ending, I am sure you would get a positive result.

I really hope and pray Gov. Okorocha suceeds with the so many good plans He has for the people of Imo State. He may not be a saint (though one wish He is one), but if He goes ahead to do 60% of what He has pronounced to the people of Imo State, lives currently occupying that axis of Nigeria would have it for the better!
