I have often come across people making references like "if not because of God...", they will grant another persons request or favour. In some other instances, God is used to beg people to do something they're supposed to do ordinarily.

This has got me wondering. Is it that people are inherently bad or just looking for an excuse to show that part of them once "God" is not part of the equation anymore?

A lot of people can't do anything for you without reference to God 'enabling' or 'allowing' them to do it. Everything they do is for the sake of God. This leads me to ask, is the fact that God is in your life the reason why you are being good?

Post the prophecy here or stop your noise making

It's too early to be bitter.

This is not click bait! The prophecy at the time got a lot of people frightened. The more scary part is that the prophecy is happening almost in the same order as he prophesied.

Because of the level of their backwardness that's a pyramid worth celebrating.

Tribal bigot.

Your soul is full of hate. Purge it out now before it consumes you.

The Egyptian and Sudanese step pyramids easily come to mind in discussions related to ancient architectural feats. However, both countries are not the only older cultures that built such structures according to records.

Pyramids have been seen in other ancient settlements, and one of them is in Igbo land. They can be found in Udi, a community in Nsude town, Enugu State.

It is believed that similar structures could have been erected across many Igbo communities in the past too. The first pictures were reportedly taken in 1935 and were credited to G. I. Jones, an anthropologist. However, the first person to discover the structures after years of abandonment is Luke Walter.

According to research, the Nsude Pyramids has similarities with the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, Egypt.

Another bad one

8} Osisikankwo

Obioma Nwankwo, an Ukwa West indigene and kidnap kingpin once made life a living hell for the people of Abia State. At the height of his notoriety and criminal activities in 2010, the military were drafted in as he literally made the whole state ungovernable with his kidnapping gang.

In Aba, people were forced to flee their homes while others simply relocated out of the city for good due to fear of being kidnapped for ransom. At a point, curfew was declared in the city to checkmate the activities of Osisikankwo and his criminal gang.

He was killed during a gun battle with the military at a forest in Ugwuati.

5) Dr Ishola

Onyenusi Ishola or ‘Dr. rob and kill’ is another notorious criminal who terrorized the country in the 70’s. Through a combined effort of the security operatives, he was captured with his gang members and executed on 8 September 1971.

4) Otokoto

The story of Otokoto is one most Owerri residents are familiar with, especially due to the level of widespread destruction of properties it caused at the time. Having endured regular kidnappings, ritual murders and robberies from the criminal masterminds running the underground world in the state, citizens went berserk when news of a beheaded boy made the headlines. The report was about a 12yrs old boy who hawked groundnut but was lured into a hotel premises and killed. The hotel was owned by Chief Vincent Duru a.k.a Otokoto.

3) Abubakar Shekau

Shekau is renowned for his terrorist activities in the Northeastern part of Nigeria under the Boko Haram franchise. He is not the founder of the terrorist group, but has turned them into one of the most deadliest terror groups in West Africa as their commander.

2) Evans The Kidnapper

Chukwudi Dumee Onuamadike is currently facing trials for some criminal offences. The main charge being preferred against him is for his alleged involvement in high profile kidnappings. According to the police, the Nnewi born “billionaire kidnapper” demands up to $1million dollars in ransom for his kidnapped victims who are mostly rich.

Thieves, kidnappers, terrorists and dangerous hit men who ruled the underworld has made life uncomfortable for Nigerian citizens since independence. Over the years, these criminals created mayhem and caused untold hardships for citizens as well as the armed forces.

However, their reign of terror were eventually cut short by security operatives. Here is a list of the most dangerous ones in no particular order –

He will also lose this one

Who knows.

The Champions League final will be played today between Chelsea FC and Manchester City. After surmounting earlier challenges, both teams qualified for the penultimate game of the UCL campaign for 2020/2021. Though Chelsea have previously won the trophy, they have not come anywhere near the prestigious title since 2012 after they beat Bayern Munich in that finals. On their own end, this is Manchester City’s first time of ever reaching the finals, and the man at the helm of affairs is Pep Guardiola.


The former Barca manager has a cup record that is quite interesting. Undoubtedly, this is going to make a huge difference in the game tonight. Guardiola has been in twelve (13) finals as a manager, and has only lost one (1) of them. That loss came against Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho in the Copa Del Rey final, 2011. Since then, he has not lost any other final he played in till date.

The Salem witch trials and the subsequent executions that followed it has been linked to a culmination of several factors which include family feuds, church politics, lack of proper understanding of human biology and juvenile delinquency.
