He committed suicide because he was heavyly criticized for focusing on taking a photo rather than helping the crawling Anty starving girl whose fate was never known

Baby and vulture

Popular Nigerian pastor, TB Joshua, has said there is a plan by
international terrorist organisations to kidnap the pope.
According to him, the terrorists will first attempt to hijack a plane on
which the pope will be traveling and then re-route it.
He says the move will be widely publicised on international media
platforms including CNN.
“First they will take the plane and it will be like they cannot locate it
and then it will be like that. So we should pray so that it will just not
end like that.
“This is another big attempt they want to pick. It’s an attempt they
want to do now, so they have to tactically plan at every airport so
that this thing does not happen,” Joshua announced in his Synagogue
Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria.
“I as a man of God, am praying about it but all Christians must pray
too. The popular cleric am talking about is the pope. We must pray
for him,” he told his congregation in a live service broadcast
monitored by StarrFMonline.com Sunday September 7.
The “Man of God,” as Joshua is popularly called, is believed to have
predicted many world events including the death of famous pop star
Michael Jackson and the missing of Malaysian flight MH370.

Federal High Court has temporarily frozen at least 20 accounts
belonging to Sani Dangote, a brother to billionaire businessman Aliko
Dangote, over his alleged failure to pay a N5.2 billion obtained from
Union Bank.
All cheques drawn on all of Mr. Dangote’s accounts in 20 banks are
not to be honoured, the court in Lagos ordered Thursday.
The affected banks include First Bank of Nigeria (FBN), First City
Monument Bank (FCMB), Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), United Bank for
Africa (UBA), Zenith Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Stanbic-IBTC,
Access, CITI Bank, Diamond Bank, Ecobank International, Enterprise
Bank, Fidelity Bank, Keystone Bank Mainstreet Bank, Skye Bank,
Wema Bank, Heritage Bank, Sterling Bank and Unity Bank.
In a ruling Thursday, the judge, Okon Abang, said that the order
affects payment instruments issued by the younger Dangote and his
companies.
The order would subsist to Thursday, September 11, when the court
would entertain applications in a suit by Union Bank Plc brought
against Dangote and his companies, Dansa Foods Limited and Bulk
Pack Services Limited.
Union Bank had launched a legal action against Mr. Dangote and his
companies over his alleged refusal to repay about N5.2 billion loan
granted them since September, 2008.
The judge also ordered all the affected banks to ensure that they file
affidavits declaring the Mr. Dangote’s statement of accounts with
them within five days of the interim order.
Union Bank, through its counsel, Chukwudi Enebeli, from the
chambers of Kemi Pinheiro, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, had
instituted various suits seeking an order restraining all banks in
Nigeria holding accounts belonging to Mr. Dangote and his
companies from allowing further funds withdrawals pending the
determination of the suits.
In the affidavits in support of its suits, Union Bank Plc urged the court
to expeditiously grant the order.
According to the bank, Mr. Dangote and the companies, in a bid to
evade payment of the loan, have in recent times been pressurizing the
affected banks to honour cheques on the affected accounts in a
desperate attempt to deplete the funds in them.
Further investigations, the bank stated, also revealed that the
defendants had started diverting the funds to various foreign
accounts, including Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Canada
and Switzerland.
An official of the bank, Olufunmilola Ayoola, in a deposition to the
bank’s affidavit, claimed the suits became necessary following the
negative impact of the failure of Mr. Dangote to liquidate the debt on
not only the fortunes of banks, but also the country’s economy.
Mr. Ayoola revealed that UBN Plc has been experiencing difficulties
meeting requests for credit facilities from small and medium scale
enterprises, majority of whom depended on such support instruments
to sustain their businesses and boost the growth of the nation’s
economy.
On Thursday, when the case came up for hearing, the motion could
not be heard as Mr. Dangote’s defendants informed the court an
application had already been filed challenging the jurisdiction of the
court to hear the suits.
Diamond and Zenith Banks, which were the only banks with
representatives in court, said Mr. Dangote and the affected companies
were also indebted to them.
Specifically, Zenith Bank said Mr. Dangote was indebted to the bank
to the tune of 7 million Euros.
Following the defendants’ application contesting the jurisdiction of
the court to hear the suits, the judge ruled that the case be adjourned
till September 11, 2014 to enable all applications to be taken from all
parties.

So sad... Ghanaian economy is in a mess. I was reading through to see if I could get the young men of today who pose as leaders of tomorrow giving Ghana sound economic advice as big brothers....all I see is insults. For the Ghanians in this forum.... Nigeria is an economic miracle. Forget those statistics the worldbank and imf brandish. Nigeria is just a miracle. Ghana should simply as for help. You mentioned boko haram, Ebola etc. Nigerians have a way of sorting her self out.Don't go buying parasol for our headache.

I came across this on the internet and wondered why someone would commit suicide and waste his life and money he could make if .........




First, a disclaimer: Selling your organs is illegal in the United States. It's also very dangerous. Handing off an organ is risky enough when done in a top hospital, even more so if you're doing it for cash in a back alley. No, really: Don't do this. OK? OK.
There are many organs one can theoretically do without, or for which there's a backup.
Most folks can spare a kidney, a portion of their liver, a lung, some intestines, and an
eyeball, and still live a long life. That said, donating a lung, a piece of liver or a section of intestines is a very complicated surgery, so
it's not done frequently on the black market.
And no one's going to make much cash on an eyeball. "In the U.S., there's a fairly steady
supply of donated corneas from corpses," says
Sean Fitzpatrick, director of public affairs at the New England Organ Bank. "There's pretty
much no market demand for eyes." Giving up a kidney, though, is a relatively simple surgery that has netted desperate people a few bucks.
No one's going to make much cash on an eyeball. Now, black-market organ dealers don't
do a great job of filing taxes, but here are some prices based on rumored deals and reports from the World Heath Organization. In India, a kidney fetches around $20,000. In
China, buyers will pay $40,000 or more. A good, healthy kidney from Israel goes for $160,000. Don't expect to pocket all that dough, though.
"The person giving up the organ only gets a fraction of the fee," says Sally Satel, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute think tank who studies the prices paid by legal and illegal organ-donor operations. After the organ broker—the guy who sets up your kidney-for-cash transaction—takes his cut, he needs to pay for travel, the surgeon,medical
supplies and a few "look-the-other-way" payoffs. Most people get $1,000 to $10,000
for their kidney (probably much less than you were hoping for).
The best bet is to wait until compensation for organs is legalized in the U.S.—the Organ
Trafficking Prohibition Act of 2009 would allow payment to donors, but it stalled in Congress—because there's certainly a market for kidneys. Last summer, a man offering one of his for $100,000 (plus medical expenses) on Craigslist received several offers until the Web site removed his post. And you could probably hold out for even more. In 1999, before eBay delisted a kidney put up for auction, bidders drove the price up to $5.75 million.

Hello fellow NL... I am an upcomming enterprisising young man. I met a young lady some months ago and proposed marriage to her which she accepted in good fate. Having told her that 'I am not already made' which means i am God's work in progress. On a rrecent visit to talk about our introduction to her family which date has been sett for the 26th of this month, our clothes are ready, invited guests on standby etc only for her to tell me unilaterally that she has shifted the date to December.
Should i call of the entire relationship?
Should i start a Pseudo relationnship just incase?
Should i feel regret or disappointed?

the govt is getting down on her knees. gej should draw his enemies closer...things are falling apart for this young man.
sacking is necessary but the timing is sensitive. Why not dissolve the entire cabinet? Foreign investors if any will fear for their nvestmnt cos of the political instability in the polity.

I am a believer in Prophecies and I am a product of prophecy myself. However, i am moved to ask this question.

Why is it that bad prophecies come to past so easily?

Why are good prophecies delayed?

How can one make prophesies come to past?

I am waiting for your honest responce.

tthe company has been under. Ho comes it trades?

Mine as arrnged and it is moving on perfectly. We two know the outcome. its lovely.

[color=#006600][/color] during our time of scarcity as a family, lots of adjustments were made. Instead of Lipton, we made do with Lemon grass tea, byebye to kerosene, we used charcoal, we made do with designer rubber shoes that served all purposes, bend down boutique ws handy. We had a vegetable garden from were we sourced our vegetables..we made few friends. If you cant pay the NEPa bills, get a transistor radio. problems are only a passing phase. Every wahahla get expiry date.

most ladies that do that are Broke girls looking for money. But remember, what you do to others shall be done to you when and if you get married. On the other hand, men do it to ease off a troublesome wife or its just habit....bad sex habit

The crisis rockng the PDP is of course a pointer to events that would come up in our polity come the year of doom (2015). This is the year that would go along way to determine lots of things. And the queestion is :
1. Will Nigeria become a confederaton?
2. Will there be a Northern rebellion?
3. Will there be a power sharing agreement after the elections?
Please let me know what you postulate for tthe sake of posterity.

Fly we no get adviser the follow dead body enter grave. Amaechi shld know that public opinion is gainst him asuch, there would be no sympathy for him. he should better pipe low because his immunity ends in 2015 and his travails would be greater than that of Alammesigha.
Why Amechi of all southern governors? Brutus etu? Amaechi even you? This is the question at the back of Gej mind. If the rebellion was comming from else where, it was quite understandable but from a brother- Amaechi...How painful...lets see how far he goes....its either he ends in prison or goes on exile at the end of his tenure or possibly be charged of trason which would automatically strip him of his immunity...
Nobody has rebelled gained Nigeria and succeded. ask Isaac boro, ojukwu, and finally Shekau...Nigeria is Bigger than any single indivdual or ambition.
