Since death is the natural end of life, why hurry?

ajl:
Where does the St. George name came from? I have watched documentary of this monument multiple times and never anyone called it by such name.

Go to the first page and read the second post the OP wrote.
That name is in the opening sentence.

Better still, I will reproduce it below and hope that you read it.

Explorers:
The church of St. George stands proud in a 25m by 25m wide pit that is carved out of solid volcanic rock.

The construction of the church involved excavating a free-standing block of stone out of the bed-rock and then removing all the waste material from around it.

The stone masons then carefully chiseled away the church outline, shaping both the exterior and interior of the building as they went (according to record).

They fashioned a simple yet exceptionally beautiful cruciform structure approximately 12m high.


The curves, shapes/lines are too precise, perfect and too accurate for diggers or chisel.

The tools, equipments used 900 years ago remains a mystery.

Why is it called St. George Church instead of King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela (of the late Zagwe dynasty) church?

They won't kuku pay

If the guy wan collect, na to apply to court for garnishee order and serve it on the banks. Na the banks to collect the money for am.

You applied for the job sir. Unfortunately, am appraisal of your performance leaves one wondering if you are even working at all.

Make terrorists no join o. This one that people keep breaching security and accessing restricted areas.

How am I even sure these incidents are not some kind of test run by terrorists or their sympathisers.

Easterners no dey get patience.
Ok how many aboki dem go kill to cover the dead kalaba man ? Dey for just leave them.
I like my pipu o cos we know dat 2 wrongs do not make a right. Thy dont need such primitive retaliation.

2 wrongs do not make a right. Correct.
But, when a lizard with 2 heads appears, you better cut off one head otherwise the one with 3 heads will soon come.
Retaliation may be primitive, but justice has been done - jungle or not.
If those boys were handed over to law enforcement, they would have walked away free and laughing, making the villagers look stupid.
All the scrap collectors who would want to misbehave will take note of this incident.

Now, that is justice, jungle or not.
If someone mentions you and thief in the same sentence, in the streets of Akwa Ibom, just know that your end has come.
Used tyres and petrol must appear and You must go up in flames.

Fools like you who don't understand shit is the reason people take advantage of individuals, how can I pay you back and you decrease my credit limit as if I'm a defaulter. I bet you know no shit on how this loan stuffs work, so fold you advice get a glass of water and swallow it down your throat.

Loans are granted on availability of money. If the loan company does not have liquidity, they cannot increase your limit or even grant you a loan. It's not about being a defaulter. Or do you think they have infinite resources?

That is why legislators should not be on full time salaries and allowances.

They should be paid based on sitting without altering the 181 days requirement.

This is just promotion at work, not political appointment. It's like 2 brothers being promoted to level 12 or any other level in the civil service. Nothing special.

My wife left me when I lost everything. She took our two children with her and has blocked me everywhere. I couldn't reach her to speak with my children. I have tried reaching her parents to no avail.

But now that things are going well for me, my brother in law lifted me and I am back to business and I have a girlfriend we are getting married next year march by God's grace.

Now my ex is back in the picture making life difficult for my girlfriend. She is blackmailing her and bombarding her with nasty messages to the extend of humiliating her in public, calling her all sorts of names like husband snatcher etc. I am angry with her because she has left me when I needed her the most and this girlfriend stood by me with my poor conditions and now she wants to play victim and putting the blame on my girl.

I want to arrest her and let her rot in jail but on the other side I don't want to do it for the sake of our children who are 10 years and 7 years. I want to deal with her in a calm way because there are children involved . What do you think I should do?

You should get a proper divorce. Until you do that, she is right in a way.
Arresting her is not the solution.

do4luv14:
am telling you fact, if you doubt me, goan read your Bible, slave had exist, as long as mankind had

Slaves existed and still exist till our age. But those power plants predate the Pharaoh's, not to talk of slaves.
And yes, I read and know bible history. Nowhere is it mentioned that the slave built pyramids.

do4luv14:
go and read your Bible, you will understand,

besides the lifting of those heavy blocks were done by able bodied slaves, under the unforgiving eyes of taskmaster

Sir, those buildings were not built by slave labour. I'm Sure they existed before the slave era.

The bible records an era when the earth was populated by giant beings, the Nephilim.

They are the probable architects of those structures. Otherwise I see those former slaves replicating the structure in their homeland upon their liberation.

Besides, how many men will it take to lift one of those blocks? How will all of them stand to take hold of the blocks? This is not something for manual labour or basic techniques, sir.

Since there are no cranes till date that can lift some of the weights used, I can postulate that either:

1. The ancients had a more advanced technology.

2. The builders were gigantic people, or

3. The blocks were moved in place by levitation.

But howbeit, basic implements like chisels, hammers and others could not have done the job else they would not have been completed.

Gentlemen, let's focus on better subjects for discussion.
Afterall, I doubt If many of us know ourselves offline.
So there is nothing to prove really.
Let's go back to discussing ideas.

Don't be buying things for your mother inlaw again. Just send/give her the money. Also let her know the reason is that other people are now monitoring the gifts so she should be quiet about it.

You should have packed out on the day you resigned.

I'm impressed. They fought to protect the masses not their pockets.

Aufbauh:
Honestly I don't know why most Nigerians are too emotional and sensational. Above all they hate the truth.

The woman just said what she knows and people start attacking her left right center.

Even though her statement may be insensitive and inhumane, the right thing to do is to probe her further to tell us more instead of shutting her up.
Her revelation may be helpful in the long run and ensure justice for all.

But that is the essence of Falana's petition, to probe her further as you said. Who else will probe her if not the police?
Who knows, she might even be a defence witness with all she knows.

RingRoadMafia:
Guy stop this stale “To whom it may concern” nonsense. It’s silly and annoying. Everyone wants to have a signature intro since Slawormiir made it look cool, and of all the phoneys I’ve been seeing trying to copy Slawormiir, yours is by far the dumbest!

Baba calm down o. Na small thing dem go carry say you don bully person and the person don go kpai himself.
I come in peace.

I have one bicycle ready, just in case...

Asquare84:
Fear woman, what did this woman really want. The way she is going my fear is that the son may even turn against her one day. Some of us while growing up weed grass in school, fetch water in school, go to farm for our class teacher, then we taught it was punishment but I bet you, those training made us to be whom we are today. So what this woman gaining from dragging people down.

Excuse me. Did she say her complaint is about weeding grass and fetching water?
I hope you will still be talking like this when they molest your own children.

Hunchogee:
na cruise bro

Alright sir. Cheers.

Hunchogee:
Spot on bro

Excuse me sir. Is Akwa Ibom a Biafran province in Nigeria?

Wow!. Beautiful shots.

seunmsg:
Women like Diezani, Stella Oduah, Mama Piss etc stole as much as any man one can think of so what’s the point again? Stealing in public offices has no gender. Everybody steals once they have the opportunity irrespective of their gender.

Update from

Ifeoma Bibiana Okoli, despite being blind has bagged her doctorate degree on Wednesday, November 17, from the University of Ibadan (UI), becoming the 1st visually impaired person to bag that degree from the institution.

Taking to Facebook, her sister, Nnena Okoli, shared photos of the graduand as she gave all the glory to God for Ifeoma’s achievements. In the photos she shared, she could be seen in her graduation gown.

She said :


https://www.facebook.com/nneka.okoli.9/posts/4672096606207517

The doctorate degree holder battled failing eyesight for long as she had a disease called retinitis pigmentosa and lost her sight in secondary school during her final examinations. The woman was nurtured at the St Joseph Rehabilitation Centre for the Blind, Rivers state.

With the required skill to succeed, Ifeoma resolved that she was going to become the best she could be academically and she succeeded.

The Facebook Post says the centre is at Obudu, Cross River state.

Imagine telling young people who are the bulk of the voters/ballot snatchers to focus on people in their 60s.

When you were President, albeit military, were you in your 60s?

I hope the youths of this country wake up and realise that the future is now.

Well, NDLEA investigated, and found that six airport workers had been running a drug cartel of sorts..where they tagged their illicit drug loads with innocent passenger's names. Eventually, they narrowed their search on 6 people, and one of them confessed, and implicated the others.

Also, the Saudis too noted that the lass did not touch or come near the luggage

Even then, it took 4 months. and the lass spent 4 months in jail over there.

Also, the Saudis have exectued a lot of Northern Nigerians over the years for the same offence.Without bothering with our government.

So, if these airport workers have been doing this, did they start with this lady?
Has NDLEA been investigating such cases involving other accused persons?
What is the probability of the investigation vindicating a northerner considering that more southerners are accused?

Also, why did the "lass" not touch or come near the luggage?
When you travel, would you not pick up your luggage if you are of clear conscience?
Is it possible that she had instructions to only observe until the coast is clear or until a pre-designated person picks it?

olatade:
Remember the girl who was wrongfully accused of smuggling drugs into Saudi Arabia?

Well

Yesterday,she completed her Training and will be working with NDLEA as ASN. Zainab Habib Kila.

Hmmmm

How do you know she was wrongly accused?
Is it because FG intervened? But that is because she is a Northerner.
So what concrete proof is there of her innocence since the drugs were actually in her luggage?
