Christianity Etc › Re: Nigerian "Church" In UK Selling Blackcurrent And Codliver Oil As Cancer Cure by pappilo(m): 1:20pm On Nov 05, 2012
tchidi: I beg to differ... A pastor selling books he wrote, isn't wrong and isn't exploitation.
Olive oils are bought outside and brought in for prayers...not the pastors selling them.
Pictures are not sold by the pastors either!! Someone snaps a pastor, makes an enlargement and puts ut up for sale..another believes it can do miracle, buys it n puts it at home..how is that the pastors doing?
That's my simple opinion, but then, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not.
Without the gullible flock that have been conditioned, these so called pastors wouldnt sell a copy. Why are these books mostly sold in church corridors, church retreats and their website? Why dont they get Waterstone to stock these books or advertise them to ordinary folks who have Kindles?

I know this church and a quick look on their website clearly shows olive oil being sold for over double the price you'll find it in you regular cornerstore.

Why is the pastors wife always the assistant GO, Reverend e.t.c. Bill Gates wife isnt the next in line at MS and Michelle Obama isnt the vice president of the US. Why do most of these miracle peddling churches have husband and wife as the number 1 & 2?

This church dey my hood before before na! VPA on Thames Road. Bus 387 from Barking. Magas go always pay. Funny enough I paid the tithe from my sons naming ceremony collection to the church. I dont attend the church and dont pay tithes but only paid that cos it was for my a baby who cant make decisions and since I didnt attend any church at the time, I just paid it to the closest church I could find.

Car Talk › Re: Has A Kid Ever Scratched Your Car? Like Written A, B. C... by pappilo(m): 12:01pm On Nov 02, 2012
This brings back memories. LMFAO

About 15 years ago, back in the hood, I took my freshly painted 1982 Peugeot 504 to see my friend who lived opposite one of these Jakande primary schools. You know those schools where the classroom walls only go halfway up and you have to carry your chair and desk to school on your head.

After my short visit, I walk out with my friend to see that someone had scribbled ''The boy is going'' on the panel just below the D pillar of my car. I was livid and automatically assumed that it was a student from the school opposite.

In my rage and without thinking through, I asked my friend that we go to the school and try to fish out the culprit. My friend said he was 100% sure the culprit didnt come from the school. I argued with him and said the sentence was something a school child would write and since he lived 10 meters across the road from the school, it only made sense that the culprit more than likely came from the school. My friend replied; No child in that school can write a complete sentence (said in jest whilst bemoaning the poor state of education in such schools)

That made me laugh uncotrollably and I soon forgot about the damage to my car and was shortly on my way after cleaning the tears from eyes which resulted from laughing so hard.
Family › Re: Do Your Kids 'celebrate' Halloween? by pappilo(m): 9:21am On Nov 02, 2012
Nigeria, a country where Halloween is not celebrated is one of the worst 20 countries in the world to live in. The UK, where Halloween is celebrated is one of the top 20 countries in the world to live in. Go figure.......

I dont 'celebrate' Halloween. I just partake in the activities. Hell, I dont even know the story behind it and I dont wish to know. All I know is my kids dress up, go door to door, shout trick or treat and get some sweets. Kids knock on my door, I open the door slowly, it creaks, the hallway is dark, I jump out, shout arghhhhh, give them some sweets and they are on their way. The next day it is all forgotten and life carries on.

Imagine some silly Nigerians in my hood, opening the door to tell us that they do not celebrate Halloween? Why do I have to know this? Just keep your damn door shut you overrighteous pr.i.ck. One even tried to preach to my wife last year.

uceee: [color=#009900]I understand you'll probably be extra paranoid now. What you need to do now is to take a break. Leave Lagos, travel abroad if possible. Just go for a holiday. When you get there, try not to discuss the incident as much as possible. You really do not need people pitying you. Then come back after some time. Handle this carefully so that you emerge stronger. Good luck![/color]
I am sorry the memories wil rtemain forever. You may think about it less as time goes on but the events will still play a part in your everyday life. The 3 incidents I mentoned were not as serious as this posters experience. it was just your regular armed hoeminvasion with some gun but attacks which left injuries requiring stitches. They happened like some 17 years ago and I have been out of the hellhole for 10 years but till date, I still wake up every night to scan outside my window even though I live in a relatively safe neighbourhood (a well fed 12 year old can break down my door with one kick and there are no metal bars on the window!)

Deep Sight: One needs a way to literally dissapear once alerted of entry.
Exactly.

After my ordeals, I have always wondered why Nigerians dont build concealed panic rooms in their houses. The ironic thing is that it wouldnt have helped in any of the 3 situtaions I was in cos we were caught off guard so it wasnt a case of breaking down doors and gates, they simply walked in

Deep Sight: I really dont know what to say to the bold. I posted this story simply to makemy country men aware of our security issues. If you are interested, you can visit or send to the Maroko Police Station to confirm the incident.

The Maroko Police Station is close to the Oniru Market, in Oniru, V.I. extension.
Boss, please no vex. I am just hoping you will say something like April fool. I actually left Nigeria because of insecurity. Got robbed 3 times in 6 months in the same damn house. I always dread when I have a trip planned and this your story is just making me reconsider my December trip.
Crime › Re: My Armed Robbery Experience And Thoughts On The Nigerian Situation by pappilo(m): 2:53pm On Nov 01, 2012
This story is false. A major operation like this would have made the tabloids at least and savvy lekki dwellers would have reported it on social media. I hope dDeep sight and Sept12 are the same people otherwise I am cancelling my trip to Naija this December!

I thank God for my wife o!

When she earned more than me, we contributed equally, when I earned more than her, we contributed equally, Now she earns a little bit more than me, we still contribute equally. When I say equally, i dont mean 50:50 exactly but we do things sensibly and together.

She takes the kids to school, I pick them up
She takes them to the cinema, I take them to the park
She buys Naija food, I do the Tesco shopping (and vice versa)
She pays the phone, water and childcare bills (she gets the profit from the flat we let out), I pay council tax, electricity and gas
she does the washing, I do the cleaning
She does the cooking and the rest of the family do the eating grin

Thank you my wife. I love you!!

katunj: I guess reading is one major problem of we nigerian, I still dont understand why u people find it hard to understand simple things, u guys shld try and get a copy of the lagos traffic law and read, it was stipulated in the document that okada must not ply some major highways in the state, get the document (itz all over the web) and u will see the list of the roads okada riders are not allowed to ply, not that it was totally ban from operating in the state. you guys shld try and knw watz in the law b4 posting rubbish jor!! angry
I dont know what road the first picture was taken on but it sure looks major enough for okadas not to be allowed on it. Why didnt Fash enforce this ban before the election if this Lagos Traffic law has been in existence for donkeys like you claim.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Romney's Son: I Wanted To Hit Obama by pappilo(m): 7:50pm On Oct 19, 2012
What I dont understand is why 100% of Nigerians support Obama. Is it just because he is black or because they have read his manifesto and know what he is about?

This dude promised change 4 years ago but yet the US helped destroy Libya (over 50,000 Africans killed), support and arm terrorists in places like Yemen and Syria, Drones continue to kill innocent women and children in Pakistan, Guantanamo Bay still holds prisoners, continue to threaten war against Iran, more black men in US prisons e.t.c

Where is the hope? Where is the change. I didnt jump on the bandwagon 4 years ago and I am not about to. I actually think it is extremely racist that people in far flung places with no vested interests in the outcome of the elections in the US, support one man for one reason only; the colour of his skin.

If you want to know if Obama being the US president has improved the lot of the black man in America, ask late Oscar Grant's daughter.

I cant beleive how dumb Nigerians are becoming. Even the ones I thought were smart cant understand this simple story. Some even think its too long. smfh

For the slowpoke confusing names. Mojekwu is the unlucky lady abd Molokwu is her friend who wrote the story. I am deeoly disappinted in the people, most especially the ladies who show no empathy to a woman who has lost her husband, her only daughter (who fought Sickle cell anemia all her life) and eventually ends up in jail.

My hope in humanity continues to gradually erode each passing day.

Pamela Mojekwu wherever you are, please stay strong. Thats all I can say because uf I claim to understand even a quarter if what you are going throug, I'd be lying.

Ijebulogic: Ever so often, we humans get tested by incidents around us. Despite the anger and disgust most feel for the gruesome murder of the Uniport 4, it raises other moral questions.

Here is the scenario: Its 2am and you are asleep with you wife, new born child and aged mother-in-law. 4 Armed robbers are hacking away at your door screaming that you will be dead tonight if you dont open the door.

Assume you have a licenced shotgun in the house, Would you stand as a man and defend your family by killing all four? If no, what are your options? If Yes, how are you better than the ALUU killers? Its a moral dilemma. Comments please.
Na real Ijebu logic you dey use cause your comparison of the #ALUU 4 murders and the hypothetical scenarion you described above is comparing apples and oranges.

Crime › Re: Pictures Of 13 Suspects Of UNIPORT Killings (Aluu4) by pappilo(m): 9:12am On Oct 17, 2012
Who gave the bastard chief the right to sanction the killing of these kids. He is the most guilty here. Even more guilty that the actual killers because it can be said he used his position of authority to influence the morons who carried out the killing.

I have never regarded chiefs, obas and the likes because it is an institution which adds no value to anybodys life IMHO. The chief should have used his authority and asked the mob who brouht the kids to his den to leave them with him and he could have called the police. These boys had been disgraced and brutalised enough already. Instead he sanctioned their killings and the kids were led to be executed at Burow pip. How dafuq does the mofo sleep at night. If i was him, I would ask for rat poison and kill myself with it.
Crime › Re: Pictures Of 13 Suspects Of UNIPORT Killings (Aluu4) by pappilo(m): 8:58am On Oct 17, 2012
If they are found gulity they must be executed. All you morons talking about them being suspects are trying to feel like oyinbo people. Even the oyinbo people you want to copy send drones to kill suspected militants in Pakistan and Yemen.

Logicboy03: Anything can be offensive. Offensive does not equal illegal or wrong. No one has the right not to be offended.
This I agree with you 100% but if the UK authorities tell us it is okay for bad things to be said about the prophet why have they jailed people who said bad things about April Jones and the Cunstables in Manchester. The UK authorities protest the imprisonment of Pussyriot in Russia but they they go on an jail their own citizens for doing exactly what Pussyrioy did.

These muslims have a right to protest and they have exercised that right.

I personally see no sense in insulting prophet Mohammed. These people know it will cause deaths and destruction but they go ahead and publish these works just to cause more division and hatred in a world that is already filled with hatred.

There remains a distinction between libel/slander and satire.
If loving my fellow human makes me a foolish Christian so be it. I can tell you an illiterate because you throw words like slander, libel and satire about without understanding what they mean so i wont argue with you. it is obvious your hatred of muslims clouds your judgement.
Foreign Affairs › Re: British Muslims Protest Against Google To Remove Anti-islam Film Video by pappilo(m): 1:12pm On Oct 15, 2012
The funny thing is that these Babylonians say it is freedom of speech to insult prophet Mohammed (I am a christian but respect all religions)but recently sent a young man, Matthew Woods, to prison for 3 months for making jokes about a little girl that was abducted and murdered and sent another man, Barry Thew, whose son died in police custody to 8 months in prison for wearing a t shirt celebrating the murder of 2 police cuntstables in manchester.

We "import" Golden Morn and my boy has been eating it since he was like 6 months. He is now 5 and has never had a problem. Golden Morn is like his night prayer. Regardless of what he has eaten for dinner, once he feels like sleeping, he comes to ask for his nightcap (a bowl of Golden Morn)

edoyad: Don't descend to anyone's level by exchanging insults.
Please, I'm hoping for anything above 500cc, Ducati or Kawasaki. Do you have any advice ?
Are you new to biking or do you have some experience? If you are new like me, my advice is for you to get a Ninja 250R if you like the Sp[ortbike look. once you have some expereience on that, then there are so may bikes to choose from. From 600cc to litre bikes. I am actually riding a 125 now as thats all they will allow me ride for now but once I get my license done this month, I mayl upgrade to a 250Ninja or the new 300Ninja for some more oomph or I might just rought it out on my 125 until I feel I am ready (finance and experience wise) for a 600cc.

I am into sport bikes so to answer your question. I would say choose any from the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, the Yamaha YZF-R6 or Suzuki GSXR 600. They are all Japanese bikes and very reliable. I think your choice will eventually come down to which one you like the look of as opposed to anything technical as there is nothing between these bikes.
