Trousers?

iyaski: i hear that all these airplanes are moloeu.....in aero the other day...my uncle had to buy food air bound.....the hostest said he should wait that she had no change she will bring back the change.....lol.... IMAGINE BUYING FOOD ON VIRGIN.....from lagos to heathrow.

This is now normal on Iberia, too.
I flew Barcelona-Amsterdam last week and we had to pay for our food and drink on-board, yes.

...the preacher offered a prayerful curse against corruption amongst public officials. ..

I think think all the more of a President who doesn'tsay amen to such superstitious clap-trap.
Cursing, indeed.
Cursing never did anything, ever.

Legal process, please.

I can't believe people are so gullible as to believe this 'news' in the OP.

Make an effort to do a minimum of follow up on the rumours you receive!

Spartakos: PROPHET: there's a young lady here who's leg was hit by someone in rage. something like that. the person did not hate you. it was a mistake. you have a painful scar now. come out. you were seein something white. where is she?
moHOT:[screams and limps out ] it's me. he was lookin for something. angry with his uncle. his passport and then he just...
PROPHET: Emmanuel! where are the cameras? focus that leg. daughter, you are healed.
moHOT: look the scar is disappearin...

Good one.

There's a lesson here, after all- learn to cook!

Funny how people justify yahooboys by saying they target rich whites, isn't it?

There's always someone preaching this stuff.
I wish they'd put the same energy into schooling children and vaccinating them.

the funclub enterprise: If mr human rights activist is so concerned abt human brutality, he wil not sleep in 9ja!...he should go out and see d children hawking daily! Being beaten and raped!, d police and poor masses and lots more!!

I'm not saying slapping is right!,
But cmon! U and I know he didn't mean it as an assault!..u re just trying to be impossible

In spiritual sense there are a lot of things not normal to the ears.........sm1 once questioned a big pastors mode of healing and I asked him have u read d bible where jesus mixed spit and sand to heal sm1 of blindness??
Religion is full of things above the normal!....dats y its called supernatural so yes I bliv a slapp can be used to torment a demon from a girl!....in my village dose traditional worshippers beat witches wit broom stick....so what are we not saying??
I know most of u commenting against him are not Christians.

I and my family were 'cursed' here at Nairaland for my having mocked this foolish Oyedepo's claim to bring the lord's wrath upon BH.
Said 'curse' was going to work upon us within a week.
That was in January, as I recall.

Anyway.
I've watched the video.
I think most of us have.
A paunchy man staggers across a stage with slurred speech and slaps a young woman.
And later boasts about it.

After seeing such a disgusting display I wonder how many men justified hitting women by crying 'witch'?
Other countries grew out of this cruel nonsense a long time ago.
Shame on Oyedepo for propagating superstition.

Tony Spike: Good comments so far and thanks to you all. May I add that the foundation and success of any advanced country is Research and Development (R & D). South Africa pumps an unbelievably whooping amount of funds into R & D that would make Nigeria weep like a baby.

I was a researcher in South Africa for some time and I can tell you that SA is doing everything to leap into the future. There in SA, their Universities are researching almost at the same awareness level as most American and Europeans Universities. No wonder they rank among the top 500 universities in the world. As a Nigerian researcher there, you have almost all the tools you need for your research. SA is a country doing all they can to rub shoulders with other World powers. Recently, I was at an IEEE conference where statistics of research output in 2010 for top African countries were listed as thus:

Egypt: 3004
South Africa: 1485
Tunisia: 766
Sudan: 40
Nigeria: 32

When I saw this statistics, I was ashamed and filled with rage. As far as I'm concerned, Nigeria is a dead-end in Africa. I can boldly say that Nigeria is walking-dead, Big-for-nothing entity for now. Any country that fails to drive R & D is a dead country that can never grow. I hope our greedy leaders get to see the damage they are wrecking on the country. Lest I forget, the city of Johannesburg in SA consumes over 2500 MW of electricity alone. This is more half of the output of Nigeria (at 4000 MW) alone. Nigeria should wake up and smell the coffee, we are at least 20 yrs behind SA.

Sounds about right to me.

Are you circumcised, Ishiusah?
Do you eat pork?

What part of 'within 5 million miles' didn't you understand?

The PHAs - potentially hazardous asteroids - have the closest orbits to Earth's, coming within five million miles and they are big enough to survive passing through Earth's atmosphere and cause damage on a regional, or greater, scale.

Trust the Daily Wail to take this NASA analysis to the 'public danger' level!
It's pretty obvious they only mention it because the UK is on that list as well!

To the OP-
Like the ones that show up in my email account every day?


I hope not!

DECOtech: there was an alter call for witches and a "witch for jesus" came out. What else did she want if not trouble? Did anyone drag her out?
...Please, who else was there when this slap took place? Hope it was a very hot one.

You've seen the video, of course.

Sounds like the OP has seen something that caught his eye....

It's obvious why people think the man is a fraud- those grotesquely fraudulent videos posted by his followers on youtube are quite enough to discredit him.
Must I re-post the links again?

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEQ_kyZyzbA&feature=related

Yet another reason is that the man's followers claim his wonder-working was recognised by Time magazine.
A complete falsehood, as I discovered when I read the actual article.

sarutobi: these houses are all 3ds. where is the real thing

My question, too.
I hope Nairalanders don't think those are photos of real buidings.

kufreabasi: Dr Balogun, thanks for your concern over this site. please help me out:

My wife who is breastfeeding 8 months old baby suffered an attack of severe headache and chest pain, she hardly eat and complain of weakness of the body. i gave her astynine multivitamine tonic, diclofenac, amoxil caps, paracetamol but to no avail. It comes and gone. when it comes tears flow from her eyes and ear drum beats increases.
Please which other medicine can i buy for her? she doesn't want to get to hospital but prefer me buying her drug since she finds it inconvinience with the baby she's carrying.
God bless you

08069386875
or email: kb4lvu2000@yahoo.com

Hey.
PLEASE don't just buy medicines for a nursing woman.
Get her to a doctor.
You say she is carrying a baby- do you mean she is pregnant?

I don't get a clear idea of exactly what your situation is.
Do you want to urinate frequently or do you urinate without control?
How much urine do you expell at a time?
What bladder strengthening exercises have you been given?

I join the 'see a doctor' chorus.
Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get that water analised!

I just read this at the BBC website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17865404

"Ghana pioneers new child vaccines
A mother sits next to her daughter who is in hospital with malaria and diarrhoea, 25 April 2012 Around one in five of Ghana's under-fives die from diarrhoea and pneumonia each year

Ghana has become the first country in Africa to start protecting children against two of the continent's deadliest infant diseases with simultaneous vaccinations.

Rotavirus, which causes diarrhoea, and pneumococcal disease kill more than 2.7 million children worldwide each year.

The project is backed by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation.

At the launch health minister Alban Bagbin said the programme marked a "major fight-back".

"Our children have been dying from these vaccine-preventable diseases for too long," he said.

When combined with existing programmes against polio, measles and tuberculosis, Mr Bagbin said Ghana is on track to meet its target to cut childhood mortality by two-thirds by 2015.
'Tackling largest killers'

The chief executive of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (Gavi), Dr Seth Berkley, told the BBC the combined treatment has become possible thanks to adequate health facilities in Ghana, combined with sufficient stocks of vaccine, and robust international funding.

"[The programme] gets these vaccines together out to people who need them, and you can do one large social mobilisation to try to get the population to understand that we're tackling these two largest killers," Dr Berkley said.

Last year Gavi the secured supplies of the vaccines from major pharmaceutical companies at a large discount.

The organisation brings together the World Health Organisation, the UN's children's charity Unicef, the World Bank, vaccine companies and the charity set up by the Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

The start of the Ghana programme comes during what the WHO has described as World Immunisation Week.

That's interesting to know.
Which Ramses was he?
Could you tell us what those dates were?
Thanks!

bizz: i am not defending a scam. ...i just want u to ask ur self in ur quiet time 'what are really my reasons for not believing and can i prove them'

No?
Then why don't you join me in denouncing this crude scam?
You've seen the video, or at the very least the two stills from it.
As a medical student, you know very well just how truly crass the deception is there.
What more proof does anyone need, bizz?
Why continue to defender a video which was designed to deceive??

Canisma: The critics of T.B Joshua are confused.
Are they accusing him of performing fake miracles and healings
OR
Are they saying that his power of healing and prophecies are not from God almighty ?
.
They re just pathetic. They all formed their opinions through the information which they assimilated from other people. They even fear to watch his T.V, Emmanuel t.v. They just hate the man. Their pastors would open their mouths to tell them not to go to this prophet. How can you accept the judgement of a man of God against another man of God.
I ve never watched T.B Joshua criticize any man of God.
He even urges people that comes to his church to receives healing from their sicknesses to go back and continue worshiping in their various churches after receiving their healings.
HOW MANY MEN OF GOD WOULD TELL YOU THAT.
.
Like i said earlier, ANY MAN OF GOD THAT CRITICISES PROPHET T.B JOSHUA SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
He lacks a true connection with God Almighty.

No confusion here.
Not only does the man have no prophetic powers, but his church (SCOAN)publishes crudely faked 'healings'.
I hope that's clear enough

wesley80: ^^^ Neither does she believe in Miracles, its all beginning to add up. So much for being a Catholic.

No answer, then?
You realise you're giving a really bad image of how one of your preacher's followers acts.
No answer?

bizz: hello i do not know what u think u believe but i must tell u its baseless.i am a medical student and so i think i know to a large extent what is treatable n what is not.you do not have any proof at all.your argument is baseless.gush what r u thinking n doing.pls i do not intend to convert u(only the Holyspirit can) i just want you to stop insulting a man of God.u r no one to judge.u have ur faith,u also have ur good n bad.if someone judged u today because of what he read on the internet about u how would u feel.i want you to google this disease (liver plcc) and tell me if it is curable.then i can show u someone that was given a month to live on earth but still alive,working n happy over a year now.i want you to think about what u r doing

Why is a medical student defending a senseless scam?
When did I say your preacher put up the video?
I said his followers did.

Show me someone who has survived a bad diagnosis?
As a 'medical student' you must know faulty diagnoses happen.

But again, why defend that clumsy fraud of a video?

wesley80: ^^ Didn't watch the video and I'm not about to and don't care what's in it, I convinced myself by seeing with my eyes and hearing with my ears, I suggest you do same. I can bet you've never watched any of his programmes but consider yourself smart cos you formed an opinion by reading peoples views on NL and watching you tube videos! Such a pity.
I owe u no apology and its ludicrous that you're asking for one from someone that's only trying to get u to use that thing balanced on your neck called a "head".

Intersting.
You didn't watch the video, yet you're criticsing me?
Why are you afraid to watch what SCOAN is putting up on the youtube?

And stop with the insults, wesley. They show you to mean-spirited and ignorant.

jmoore:

Continue to be a skeptic at your own peril because reasoning is always limited. Miracle is meant to defy logic and common sense, that's why it is called a miracle.



your eyes did not see this “However, another call came in by 2 a.m. that is Sunday morning that she had been confirmed dead by a doctor’s report. "



Coma in such conditions, and still survive?

One thing about skeptics is they will only want to believe when it happens to them, but only few skeptics will experience it while the majority of them will have one way ticket to hell.

Hmmm.
Do you believe everything you read in the newspapers as the unvarnished truth?
Have you never known a case of inaccurate reporting?

Why is calling a scam a scam a one-way ticket to hell?
Haven't you ever heard of the fraudulent healings and 'resurrections' performed all over the world by unscrupulous faith healers?
And calling upon the name of Jesus, many of them?
Would you like me to post up some of the more terrible recent examples of this?

Did you know it was once considered a one-way ticket to hell to believe the Earth revolves around the Sun?
Why are you afraid of independant thinking?

wesley80: ^^^
Good for you. Now will u just drop it and believe whatever pleases you?

Where's the apology, wesley?
Remember those unfounded accusations of yours?
"now i have some questions for you and your cohorts.1. Were you the one that filmed this video 2.if yes send me ur number if no then think . 3.why would you rather believe a video online than a prophet that speaks on worldwide tv and airs his program for everybody to criticise or accept. My friend i have personally seen what i thought was impossible unfold in my very eyes. Before i use to say a lot of wrong things about this man(God forgive me) someone called me one day and asked me the same questions i asked u.he said i should try for once remove biase from my mind and watch this man of God.i did and even visited synagogue twice,attended the prayer line. So pls dont post a video someone has edited.tell me what you know and can prove.if you need my number and more proof just ask.thanks for your time"

Why don't you ask yourself why SCOAN allows this to continue on Youtube?

omonikiba: @PA1982, I have not seen my doctor, was reffered to a lab for the test.

Is this a joke? the video was posted on Youtube by:

Subido por unendingsearch el 04/05/2010

TB Joshua prays for this woman with a terrible neck and back ulcer, and she is incredibly healed in Jesus' Name!

Jesus is alive!

Why do you think I filmed such a farcical scam?
Why don't you talk to Emmanuel TV about it? There's footage from the tv show on the video, as you saw.

My cohorts?
I need cohorts to think for myself?

As for your personal experience, well, I've come across a poster here at Nairaland who's convinced David Copperfield can make an aeroplane disappear, so nothing would surprise me.
