Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.

When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.


When the storms of life come upon us, like the eagle, we can rise above them and ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure, and disappointment into our lives.

What is your greatest challenge right now? Jot it down. And then let it lift you higher.

Nice poetic writing Argon. The notion of rising above and sailing over troubled times really appeals to me, regardless of whether eagles really are capable of ascending to a height that will enable them to avoid thunder storms raging below them.

Good stuff, ma brother. Standing by for any more gems of this nature, that you choose to put in writing.

Since you REFUSE to advise me as to how you do battle with the invading Green Men, I went ahead and shot a couple I spotted in my garden yesterday.

I forgot to take any pictures before handing them over to a shrieking mob of blood-thirsty Nigerian "sympathizers" to cook and eat, but this drawing will give you a good idea just how ugly those critters were. They smelt like weed, for some reason, but I shot them anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Can I take your response to mean that for all you care I can be attacked and abducted by the Green Men from Mars ?

I thought you cared about my fate, man. Come on, at least give me a hint. How do YOU personally deal with alien invaders, and more importantly, WHEN are you going to attack the White House to defeat Evil Whitey, so that I can tune in to CNN for the purpose of recording the entire episode for posterity ?

Truth is you can't save a man from himself. Why is everybody so keen to make sure a full grown man don't kill himself? I don't get it. Please somebody should explain this to me

I hear ya, brother man, ESPECIALLY since Nigeria is one of those backwaters that remains trapped in a time warp, where it is perfectly acceptable and indeed very common for mobs of "sympathizers" to descend on total strangers in the street, who have been accused of everything from petty theft to magical gonad theft, and then proceed to beat those victims to death, before setting them alight with petrol soaked tires, while cheering and rejoicing like the assemblage of sadistic homicidal lunatics that they are proud to be.

All this anguished hand-wringing, invocations of superstitious entities, and effusive pouring out of empathy, over a complete stranger who CLAIMS to be interested in exploring the concept of life after death, just strikes me as, well, utterly BOGUS and CYNICAL, considering that a fair number of those self-appointed internet forum "saviors" have most likely participated with glee in a more than a few recreational mob lynchings on the blood-soaked streets of Nigeria.

GenBuhari:
The main reason for the hoax is that USA is broke and is desperate to take over the natural resources the West
African region using IMF and World Bank loans.

Very good sir. Since you have identified the "guilty party", what do you intend to do, in concrete terms, besides repeating details of your bizarre theory here every other day like a street drunk whose short-term memory is shot from too much cheap Ripple Number 5 ?

If you are puzzled by my question, may I at least suggest that you commence your mission of revenge by emulating that disturbed Nigerian gentleman who scaled the White House fence recently, only to be unceremoniously taken down by a pack of frenzied guard-dogs, and then slam-dunked in the slammer for life.

While you plan that historic copycat attack on the White House, PLEASE advise me about how I can neutralize those pesky green men that hover over my house their flying saucer every frigging night. Can I simply open fire with my blunderbuss and get rid of them that way, or can you perhaps teach me a few choice words in the Martian language, that I can use to frighten them off without having to engage them with poorly aimed gunfire ?

It took the European Space Agency ten whole years to land that craft on a hurtling meteor, yet in Nigeria, WINCHES and WEEZARDS fly combat missions over Lagos on a daily basis, with only occasional crashes to the ground, after which "sympathizers" quickly gather to stone the culprit to death.

In other words, were the European Space Agency not too proud to seek the assistance of the Nigerian Babalawo Association for technical advice on flight into space and other planets, that recently completed mission would have taken just ten minutes, and not ten years.

I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH YOU as well as Papiwata

Things have moved on guys, you really need an update in perspective and capacity.

The supposed advantage the AK47 did have has been overtaken by more contemporary assault rifles that have CLEAR OVERIDING ADAVANTAGE [/b]over the antiquated AK47.

The AK47 is supposedly reliable dependant on procurement, the Russian variants are mostly reliable not so the Chinese , Nigerian variants etc (numerous complaints about NA ak47s regularly jamming right in a fire fight) so it is rugged, simplistic in its mechanisms and therefore easily maintained.[b] I WILL GIVE THAT TO YOU. but so is a peugeot 504, 505 does'nt make it better than an Merc GL500.

What’s the effective range of an AK47 ? 300 metres that’s at best in perfect conditions, however, considering its heavy recoil and loss of velocity of its 7.62x 39mm round it’s far from accurate. Add to that a stress of adrenalin flowing battle conditions and the absence of optical sights you’re really talking about an effective range of 150 metres or even much less and not head shots but body.

Compare that to a Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle which in the G36A1 variant has twin optical sights and an effective range of 800metres plus, very limited recoil and super accuracy. The 5.56x45mm doesn’t have a loss of velocity like the AK and therefore causes a lot more damage furthermore the precision of the G36 means less rounds are expended because of its greater accuracy.

I will explain using the example of a very brave Nigerian combatant with his AK47 facing multiple boko blood thirsty terrorists. A single boko fighter has to go within 50 metres of the NA combatant to ensure a hit (reflection of the inaccurate AK47) at this stage brave NA combatant has probably run out of ammo and engages the boko fighter hand to hand and makes a run for it (i pray he made it).


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


We can see in the vid the boko idiot with GPMG expending rounds wildly but with zero hits indeed the whole bunch are shooting with their AKs at about 300metres range at our brave NA combatant with no hits. That’s why they have to a go a lot closer to make a hit.

Now if he had a G36 (dual optical sights standard), he could pick off the lot of them head shots at 300 metres almost with a near 100 % hit rate dependant on his ability. That boko idiot that crossed the brook would not have been able to cross the brook before he will be facing his 70 virgins. He our brave combatant could then beat a devastating tactical retreat plucking boko off one by one as he retreats even at 800 metres. This is what gives you overriding advantage not numbers but precision weaponry.

Below a video of German Special Forces using a G36 at night firing from the hip and hitting targets at 700 metres in near pitch darkness using night vision (standard issue for any modern army), this is just to buttress my point. I am only using the G36 as an example there are a number of assault rifles HK416, SCAR FN mk16,etc , that have better ruggedness and reliability than the AK47 but with far, far, greater accuracy and

The next question you would want to ask, is how much will it cost to get 10,000 units of these desperately neede G36A1's to our boys in the theatre of the NE probably less than what TAN have spent on publicity and what it cost to have the constitutional (waste of time) conference.

Hello Komekn. I have followed your authoritative and insightful posts on weaponry and military tactics dating back to when Sirius Black's daily war-front pictures were posted in this forum. The above breakdown on the cost effectiveness and combat efficiency attainable through the deployment of optical sighted weapons, preferably with night vision capability, is a fine demonstrative example of your credentials as a military analyst, YET, the trusty old iron-sighted AK47 shines through whenever opposing forces close to within 50 meters of each other, which, surprisingly is by far THE most commonly recorded distance at which such frenzied front-line combat occurs.

For their clandestine missions behind enemy lines, Nigerian Special Forces operatives are almost assuredly issued with the finest long-range sniper rifles that money can buy, and it does not take too much of a leap in logic to presume that those elite troopers also field rifles with night-vision sights, HOWEVER, due to the game-changing potential of such phenomenally expensive equipment, should it fall into enemy hands, an impenetrable shroud of absolute secrecy will no doubt envelop the very existence of such shadowy components to the war arsenal of contemporary Nigeria.

Bros, try re-visit ur A for apple, B for ball, C for cup because u seems to lack knowledge.

I will get back to you when I can make head or tail of anything you type, which might never occur. The planet your mind occupies is a very distant one that I have absolutely no intention of studying. Thanks for the response anyway, unintelligible though it may be.

Is anointing a virtue that should replace integrity and quality service?

Ibori was in redemption camp, did he get d special anointing GO is talking about?

Akingbola was reportedly a pastor in RCCG, yet we all know his "exploits" at Intercontinental Bank, did he get d special anointing too?

Cecilia Ibru was reportedly a devout camp attendee, yet we know her "exploits" in Oceanic Bank, did she get d special anointing too?

Why does every intended failure get ratified on the alter of religious considerations, anointing etc?

It is so refreshing to encounter one of those exceedingly rare Nigerians who is NOT fooled by the pronouncements of thieving, money-laundering miracle pastors that have fashioned extremely lucrative careers out of feasting heartily on the profound gullibility of Nigeria's mentally enslaved majority.

courage54:
If I call u a foo.l is not an insult but a FACT

And I anyone refers to YOU as a dim-witted cult follower, that would be a compliment.

mrvitalis:
ok will anointing for free or we have to pay for it
just asking

Sounds like another attempt by this greedy miracle pastor to score a government contract that will have him exchanging worthless bogus prayers for millions in tax-payer owned cash.

Nice try, Mini God. Go back to fleecing your gullible flock and laundering stolen wealth for government officials, Man of Dog, and keep those grasping paws out of the national treasury.

shigoslim:
This gun is nt good enough with enemies u can identify, they need both AK47 and sniper, seriously speaking sniper is very effective in this kind of war not AK47 check American soldiers in IRAQ 70% of them used sniper.

The Nigerian military IS using snipers in this war on terror, but they are deployed in absolute secrecy.

All who foretell a surge in the numbers of terror attacks ravaging Nigeria over the course of the months leading up to the 2015 elections, are keenly aware that political ambitions, and NOT religious fundamentalism, lie at the very heart of the dark motives behind the escalating carnage in northern Nigeria.

The formal declaration of intent to run for a second elected term of office, by serving Nigerian President Jonathan Goodluck, has incensed northern Nigeria's born-to-rule political elite, who for over a half century have quietly pocketed most of the income accrued from Nigeria's NATIONAL oil fields, thanks to "friends and family members in high places". That impotent jealous rage over the ongoing power-shift from the north to the south of Nigeria, is of course entwined inextricably with the perception that those gravy days of raking in millions of dollars of illegal crude oil income will soon be of blessed memory to the cartel members involved.

Not too long ago, automatic access to federal government positions of public trust were "inherited" along tribal lines as a veritable birthright, enabling successive generations of avaricious feudal oligarchs from northern Nigeria to divert millions of dollars worth of crude-oil proceeds DAILY, with simple strokes of the pen. A sizable portion of that stolen money, measured conservatively in BILLIONS of US greenback dollars, is now being deployed to tenure the services of international weapons dealers, mercenaries, and Al Queda-style terror groups, all in a desperate bid to destabilize the ELECTED government of Jonathan Goodluck.

The use of female suicide bombers indeed plumbs a new nadir of genocidal evil in Nigeria's battle-ground states, but that alarming precedent may yet pale in comparison to other terror outrages already being planned in the feverish minds of those gathered demons who regard democratic elections with utter contempt, and who seek to overturn the freely expressed will of the nation's electorate, by force of arms, and by the sowing of random terror.

An AK47 is a rugged, reliable, easy to clean, and devastatingly effective close-quarters assault rifle that is IDEALLY suited for the alternately sandy and muddy conditions in the part of the country where Nigeria's war on terror is being waged, so, all the armchair quarter-masters should go back to the comfort of their living room couches to resume their Playstation video adventures, so that the real logistics of battle can be left to the professionals trained and paid for that job.

When a war breaks out, fighters on both sides are certain to die in combat, and in freak battle-front accidents. Blaming the make and model of rifle issued to the Nigerian army every time a casualty of war is recorded makes about as much sense as blaming the invention of the motor car every time there is a road accident.

So, to the internet gun experts who want to see "sophisticated weapons" in the hands of foot soldiers, you will need to look towards the Middle East, where night vision gear, portable surveillance drones, robotic gun platforms and laser target-designators to guide missile strikes, are standard issue for ground forces in the Israeli military, for example.

Back in black Africa, however, the business of infantry combat on the ground is grimy, dusty, muddy, bloody, and utterly chaotic. It is for those precise conditions that the AK47 rifle was designed, which explains why that rifle remains far and away the most common sight on battlefields the world over, as it has for many decades since the original AK was invented by Mikhail Kalasnikov in 1947.

By all means, do voice your support for increased air strikes by federal jets, and for urgent Western military assistance to further the prosecution of Nigeria's war on terror, but do NOT disparage the always mighty AK47 rifle, for it has served on the WINNING side of many a skirmish.

Reminds me of the similar fact that a full 80% of Vietnamese bear the surname "Nguyen".

macfarland:
Listen up! You APC sponsors of Boko Haram, Bombing and killing over 47 school Children in Potiskum will not buy you the sympathy you want among peace-loving Nigerians.
APC candidates declared their intention to run for presidential election, there was no bombing, President Goodluck is declaring tomorrow, and all of a sudden, you crooks are throwing your bombs at school children. Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, and its sponsors, you guys are cowards.
For a thousand times, our democracy is more vibrant than your religious order. [size=14pt] And FYI, Nigeria is a secular state. No amount of bombing will bring the nation to becoming some sort of Islamic caliphate. [/size] Tomorrow will mark another commitment in the sustainability and stability of our own home-grown democracy.
Shame betide you! Shame unto you who take joy in seeing these crooks destroy our country. Whether you guys like it or not, President Goodluck Jonathan has four more years to go. If you guys like bomb the whole of northern region or if you wish move it to the North-Western area, President Goodluck Jonathan has four more years to go!
After that, we will come back to a drawing table to see if the Christians in the South will be in that type of Islamic country you guys wish for yourselves now.

With characteristic celebratory haste, President Jonathan Goodluck's usual internet critics have commenced to gleefully revel in the news of yesterday's terror attack on school children, simply because it afforded such career clowns yet another excuse to express their corrosive hatred for Nigeria's elected president. That open rejoicing over horrific human tragedy speaks volumes about the do-or-die desperation and genocidal capabilities of the patently criminal elements parading as "political opposition" in the Nigeria of 2014.

In the upcoming free, fair and open presidential election slated for 2015 in Nigeria, the incumbent candidate, namely His Excellency Jonathan Goodluck, WILL emerge overwhelmingly and comprehensively victorious, in response to the unified voice of the nation's enlightened and inspired electorate. This victory WILL come to pass, in the manner of a manifest destiny characterized by all the very best great leadership can impart on a people.

Pursuant to that 2015 electoral mandate of leadership service issued by the Nigerian people, President Jonathan Goodluck will saddle up and ride the tiger for a second term of office running right through until the good year 2019, to the eternal benefit of the country named Nigeria, and of her citizenship in totality, who reside in all points between the burning, wind-swept sands of the southern Sahara Desert, and the restless churning waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

rightym:
I'm sure u ve been brain washed !!!! wit all de happenings ? I do not believe DAT any sane person will reason this way

You deserve hearty congratulations for even attempting to communicate in written English. I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to convey with the above grouping of random words and strange acronyms, but I still award you a C-minus for your valiant effort to be understood, even though that is not really possible in any true sense.

Reptyle:
Oh just 2019?

One would think he was bidding to rule for a lifetime with the way he is going about it.

While our President is rabidly chasing a new term in office, Nigeria burns under his worth. He seems to have forgotten that he still has about 6 months worth of his current mandate to deliver on. He seems to have forgotten that part of that mandate includes ensuring the protection of all Nigerians, internal and external...including his "enemies" from the North of Nigeria.

At this rate, I hope there will be a nation to rule over before 2019.

The year 2019 will mark the conclusion of President Jonathan's tour of duty, and this will be affirmed by his assured victory in the upcoming elections.

With regards to your armchair expert opinion about the effectiveness of Nigerian military action and counter terrorist operations in the vicinity of the battle front, perhaps you could address you concerns in writing to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces, so that they can act on your recommendations, or ignore you outright, as facts on the ground dictate.

Cram Jones you disappoint me. You really have, today, and I'm afraid you'll need to sit in the corner until I decide what needs to be done next.

I counted a measly 25 derogatory adjectives that you could think up to denounce your elected president. That is well under par for a man of your caliber, and this is a matter of concern.

At the rate you are using up all your linguistic ammunition so far ahead of the presidential elections, you will practically need to invent a new language with which to express your spiraling despair and despondency when President Jonathan receives his earth-shaking landslide mandate to serve as Nigeria's president until the good year 2019.

cramjones:
It is with heart felt sympathy that I heard about the bomb blast today in Potiskum that killed 48 innocent students trying to get educated. May their souls rest in peace and may God grant the family comfort and bring the perpetrators to justice. Amen

Meanwhile, it is unfortunate that we have a wicked and insensitive leadership, concerned only to come back to power come 2015. This leader has more meetings on 2015 than on security. This leader does not give a damn. This leader is Corrupt. Incompetent. Deceptive. Divisive. Dishonest. Lazy. Negligent. Unpatriotic. Insensitive. Wicked. Clueless. Confused. And Dangerous.

The blood that has soaked our land will not do so in vain, the day of reckoning for this wickedness and negligence by the presidency will surely come!

-CramJones

This political grandstanding moments after a tragedy will not help further your agenda, big guy. Pretty soon you'll be leaping to the podium to wag your indignant finger at the President every time a traffic accident is recorded in Abuja.

Toke it easy dude, and relax in front of the TV to burn down a fatty.

The terror gang besieging northern Nigeria WILL be defeated, with or without your cheer-leading from the sidelines, so just relax and be happy.

The deliberate mass killing of children is a primary hallmark of the devil, to put it concisely. Throughout the pages of ALL holy books ever referenced by members of the human race since the very dawn of time, the killing of children is universally denounced and condemned as the greatest act of inhuman depravity imaginable.

A malevolent and purely demonic force is loose in northern Nigeria. As always, that evil presence hides behind quotations from holy books, even as it feasts on the lives of the innocent. Of the thousands of civilian men, women and children slaughtered, shot and blown to pieces during northern Nigeria's ongoing season of terror, Muslims constitute an easy 90% of the victims claimed by the marauding savages. This fact ALONE rules out a mainstream Islamic motivation propelling the sponsored anarchy engulfing northern Nigeria, and rules in a fundamentally political agenda, pursued with cold vengeance along a flowing river of blood.

To counter that diabolical force whose blood-lust grows by the day, it is VITAL that the war effort under way by the Nigerian military MUST be augmented with both overt and covert assistance from the West. The ISIS/ISIL armies of genocide, currently being addressed with authority in the Middle East by US and allied aircraft, share an identical macabre world-view to that held by Nigeria's Boko Haram terror group, making BOTH organizations avowed foes of humanity that must be exterminated with EXTREME prejudice, in a united GLOBAL effort that transcends all national borders.

bigass:
see you. answer the question. do you think Oyedepo can slap an American 'witch' and not go to jail?

You see Bigass, this is the crux of the problem. Whenever you try to get a logical response from cult followers, they just resort to death threats, thinking that they can frighten people outside their cult with violent threats, but always winding up as objects of ridicule.

prayNaija:
His God is a consuming fire!!!

Why is it that cult followers can think of NO other threat than to promise a fiery death inflicted by their vengeful god ?

If you want to really scare people, PRAYNaja, then you need to step up your game, and declare yourself an assassin for God, who will PERSONALLY visit people who speak out against your thieving Pastor Oledepo, for the purpose of opening fire with an assault rifle and killing all their families in cold blood.

That hell-fire threat is so widely used that it simply doesn't pack any punch at all. You need to threaten DIRECT bodily harm to get the attention of people who do not share your cult-worshiping lemming mindset. Try this radical idea, and get back to us here.

azdiano:
may GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOU,,,,na envy go kill una,,,MY PAPA WILL KEEP ON MOVING FROM STRENGT TO STRENGT,,,,all u haters can go and hang ur self

Oh yes, we got another tithe-paying cult follower in the house. Get back on your knees, boy. Big Daddy Oledepo needs to see you on your knees whenever you hand over your salary to him for the purchase of more jet fuel to fly his luxury aircraft to Paris, where his wife shops every weekend.

Down on your knees, I say, and stop attempting to engage your brain, because that too is now Oledepo's property.

Scamfender:
It's already banned in many public places - but should smoking be against the law?

There is NO redeeming value of any description to be obtained by burning tobacco in order to inhale toxic nicotine-rich fumes produced by combustion of that worthless plant matter. Anyone who attempts to identify one single benefit accruing from that stinky and disgusting addiction of cigarette puffing, is either a poor liar, a pathetic ignoramus, or both.

By placing an absolute nationwide ban on the sale and possession of ALL tobacco products, while imposing heavy cash fines or even jail time on anyone apprehended burning that nasty leaf in cigarette form, the Nigerian government would in one fell swoop eradicate one of society's most medically destructive addictions, and in so doing, save thousands of lives, along with millions of dollars in healthcare costs no longer incurred due to that entirely pointless habit of smoking tobacco. By making tobacco legally unavailable in Nigeria, entire generations of young people will no longer be faced with the temptation to become cigarette addicts and future lung-cancer patients, and the nation would be better for it.


Marijuana, on the other hand, which has a proven record of delivering a wide variety of provable health benefits, ranging from cancer prevention to chemotherapy patient appetite restoration and seizure prevention, should be DE-criminalized in Nigeria, just as is the case in Holland and several states in the USA, so that scientific research exploring the healing properties of marijuana can be intensified with a view to establishing Nigeria as a world renowned supplier and exporter of medical grade cannabis.

The historical over-representation of northern Nigerian tribesmen in the nation's military, along with the concurrent decades-long illegal "privatization" of Nigerian oil fields by military junta leaders and their civilian cronies, are widely regarded as the primary reasons why disproportionate numbers of functional illiterates from northern Nigeria have effectively cornered economic, military and political power ever since Nigeria gained her independence from Britain in 1960. The skewed university admissions "quota system" that also favors "students" from northern Nigeria, over their better qualified southern counterparts, is often overlooked in the grand scheme of things, when the persistent stagnation of the Nigerian nation is under discussion.

As RudeDough succinctly reminds us here, the simple expedient of systematically encouraging hordes of northern Nigerians to enroll in state and federal universities on the basis of entrance examination grades that are FAR below the exam-failure cut-off point that applies to candidates taking the SAME entrance exams in SOUTHERN regions of the country, ensures that mediocrity and sub-par academic performance are elevated to the status of a desirable and indeed profitable traits to which successive generations of "born-to-rule" northern Nigerians can aspire.

Southern Nigerians, on the other hand, are evidently blocked from gaining access to state-owned tertiary institutes of education, by a hideous mutation of America's infamous one-time policy of "Affirmative Action", expressed in a demented Nigerian legislative variant that maintains a long-running status-quo under which even the best of entrance examination results turned in by southern Nigerians are deemed "not good enough" for admission into state-owned universities that are paradoxically awash with semi-literate "career" students from the north of Nigeria.

With such astonishing imbalance in so many key aspects of Nigeria's existence as a nation, it is indeed a wonder and a marvel that the Ship of State has not run aground thus far.

Here are a pair of natural massage tools, namely a pair of hands, groping their way up to the promised land.

redsun:
I am sure they are just making a note of the line of thought of an institution that wants to teach uk children to be rational in the 21st century. It is like something from the dark age when reasoning was frown upon.

Also it is very likely that the West is fully aware that one of Pastor Oledepo's primary sources of wealth is the deft use of his scam church's tax-exempt status to assist Nigeria's kleptomaniac government officials in the time-honored tradition of laundering their loot, while also flying a lot of it in raw cash to willing banks in Dubai, aboard those luxury jets also paid for with money stolen via bogus promises fed to the desperate poor in Nigeria.

ChokolateBoss:
This is the most sensible comment I've seen so far.
No one is even saying anything about d girl that was abused in front of thousands, instead they are all throwing verbal missiles and baring their ignorance. Smh for we blacks.

Even d topic of d thread is very misleading and d gullible brain-washed ones are here defending d pastor and raining abuses on BBC. The OP just used a catchy headline (purposely or out of ignorance) to attract readers and those who cannot read btw d lines are exposing their level of dumbfuckery.

U gullible nigerians need to understand that d mentality of d average westerner is far different from that of a nigerian. U don't just physically abuse a vulnerable girl in front of thousands. They don't take that kinda bullshittt. Westerners are far more intellectually enlightened than many mentally enslaved brainless nigerians who cannot think for themselves. The UK frowns on a church that espouses belief in witchcraft as one of its basic tenets; not just mere belief but carrying out actions that are contrary to reason, human conscience and d legal system.

A lot of d inhumane treatment we mete out to people all in d name of "witchcraft suspicion" can only happen here because of our low mentality.

Here in Nigeria (and other low-mentality african countries), people can be brutalized, beaten to death or even burnt alive because some imbeciles think they're witches/wizards. Wtf!
Here in Nigeria, u'll see some kids being starved or detained in churches, whipped and harassed until they confess to being witches. If a family brings a child (to be used as househelps of course) from d village to town and anything dares go wrong in d family, aha! Na winch oooooo!
If an old woman looks at u in funny way, she's a witch. Here in naija, people will construct kiosks and call them churches. In one street alone u can see up to 20 churches all blaring unbearable noise from their giant speakers and when u complain of d noise, u're a witch or agent of satan. In a compound where u're not d only tenant, u'll host noisy casting n binding prayer sessions and if another tenant dares complain, na winch. Naija is a lawless entity with little regards for d social/physical/psychological welfare of its citizens and that's why all these nonsense can happen with no one giving a fuqq.

A western pastor/priest/man of God cannot try that nonsense that Oyedepo did. He did that because he has d mentality of a typical Nigerian. Some of u who support anything done by anyone who brands himself as a man of God need to realize that its d westerners that brought this same Christianity to us and they are not all immoral/irreligious atheists.

You are a good man, sir - one who cuts his own path, rather than blindly following the dim-witted herd. I have no further comments to make. You have said it all.

hjr2014:
nairaland has proven to be anti-christian in more ways than one! thats why it is experiencing no progress

You are wrong sir. In the Nairaland forum, EVERYBODY is a pastor and a Prophet of Doom, even though I am recognized as the most deceitful of them all by far, and thus the most successful.

My private prayer sessions, anointing, and laying on of hands, for example, are available to ALL single women under the age of 23 who meet my strict standards of appearance, for an affordable 25K naira per night, depending on the deliverance required, and, I do take ALL major credit cards.
