PoliticsRe: Court Orders Forfeiture Of Okorocha’s Properties Acquired Between 2011 To 2019 by popefrank2016(m): 6:16am On Feb 26, 2021
Your correct, my thoughts well...
Penguin2:
What they are doing to Rochas is the reason these politicians take their stolen to UK and elsewhere to go and invest.

If these things were built in the UK or Dubai, Hope wouldn't have had a single power to do the things he's doing.

Don't get me wrong...

I'm not saying it's right for Okorocha to have stolen, but one of our clamours in recent years is that these thieves should invest the money in Nigeria when they steal them. Now we have someone who did that and he's being made to regret it.

On another note, was Rochas that bad that successive governors wants to win the heart of Imolites by destroying Rochas?

From Ihedioha to Uzodimma, same story.
RomanceDestiny Can Be Delayed But Cannot Changed by popefrank2016(op): 10:06am On Feb 16, 2021
You may have missed the previous episodes, read from here Episode 4&5: Destiny Can Be Delayed But Cannot Change_Jassy

Episode: 6&7

Tara was shocked, they have never quarreled like this before. Did Mimi just slapped her because if a guy? This is serious! Is Richard worth this? That guy isn't sincere, he will just use her friend and dump her; she won't allow that! She had to open her eyes before it becomes late.

"Mirabel, did you just slap me because of Richard?"

"Yes, and I'll do it again and again if you dare bad mouth him again. I love that guy and you'll have to respect that. I've always respected your boyfriends, why can't you treat mine the same way I treated yours?"

"The fact is, that guy is not your boyfriend. What do you know about him apart from the fact that he's rich? What else? Have you ever visited him in his house? Or rather, has he ever invited you to his house? I can't believe you could fall sheepishly in love with someone who doesn't give a Bleep about you!"

"Shut up Tamara! Shut up!!!!" Mimi barked at her.

"Truth, they say is bitter, but it has to be told." Tara said as she left the house forgetting her pot of stew. Mimi sank on the chair and wept.

Tara left the house devastated, she wondered what has come over Mimi, why she was acting that way since she met Richard. She wandered in school campus and sat down under the mango tree she usually sit with Mimi each time they want to read. She was deep in thought that she didn't notice Ruth, her friend and course mate walked up to her.

"Tara," Ruth called.

"Hi Ruth," she said. "What's up?"

"I'm supposed to be asking you that. You look sad and deep in thought. What's up with you?" She asked sitting beside her.

Ruth used to be her close friend before she met Mimi, she began to distance herself from her but the girl never gave up on their friendship. She made sure to advice her each time she falls out with Mimi.

"Nothing Ruth, am fine," she lied not wanting to bore Ruth with her problems with Mimi.

"You and I know that you are not fine, come on, am your friend; you can talk to me. Is it about Mimi?" Tara nodded. "What happened?"

"We had a fight this morning, she slapped me. Can you believe that? She slapped me because of a guy." She lamented.

"A guy?? You mean the quarrel was about a guy?"

"Yes, a guy she claimed to love "

"What?! Mimi is in love? I don suffer!"

"I was amazed."

"Alright, tell me what happened."

Tara narrated everything to her. Ruth kept quiet and listened. When she was through, she concluded by saying she was leaving the house first thing tomorrow morning.

"It hasn't gotten to that now!" Said Ruth.

"I know but I feel so bad that a guy is trying to destroy the friendship we've build for years."

Ruth did her best, she advised her not to turn her back on Mimi now because she needs her. "She needs you now, no matter how much you hate guys now; you have to be nice to her guy friends. Remember how she treated your ex's. She was nice to them. Even when she was not in support of you dating Zubby, she was never rude to him. Tara agreed with her and decided to return home.

By the time she got home, Mimi was calm. She had spoken to Richard to apologize on Tara's behalf but was surprised to know that he wasn't mad at Tara. He even blamed her for fighting with Tara.

" You know how she feels about guys." He had said. "You of all people should understand her better, instead of fighting with her, you should have sympathized with her, she's been through a lot."

Mom felt bad after discussing with Richard, she felt bad for slapping her best friend, she felt sorry for the wrong words she used on her. She couldn't wait to apologize to her, she brought out her phone and dialed her number. Unfortunately, she left her phone at home.

"Where are you Tara! Please forgive me." She said.

"I'm sorry," Mimi said as soon as Tara got in. "I didn't mean to slap or say those words to you."

"I'm sorry too," Tara apologized. "It was my fault, I shouldn't have disrespected your guest. Do you mind giving his number? I want to personally apologize to him."

"Of course, why not," exclaimed Mimi happy. "Use my phone." She gave her her phone and she dialed the number.

Episode 7

"You have to make it up to me by having dinner with me tonight." Richard said on the other end.

"Okay, fine. I'll only come if Mimi will come with us."

"Am sure she will, just inform her."

"Okay," she said and hung up.

"Sorry girl, I won't be able to make it tonight. I have an assignment to do." Mimi said when she was informed.

"Which assignment is that one?"

"The one of last week, I haven't done it and Mr. Okeke is threatening me." Mimi replied.

"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Tara asked disappointed.

"Don't worry, just go and keep my boyfriend company tonight. I trust you."

"Are you sure about that?"

"I have never been so sure in my life, you can use the opportunity to check him out for me." she replied smiling. "But make sure you give me the full details, okay? Don't cancel anything from me. I trust your judgement Tara." She held her hand. "This is the first time am falling in love. Please help me."

"Sure," she replied as she called Richard to inform him. She wasn't comfortable going out with him alone, she still believe he has no feelings for her friend. Well, maybe this is an opportunity to know what is really going on between him and her best friend. So, she got ready for the dinner.

Richard was dressing up in his room humming unconsciously, he looked so happy, he was glad to be going on a date with her alone. All thanks to Mimi for refusing, she's such an angel for refusing to go with them. Seemed like she read his mind, he will thank her later for it.

"I can see someone is happy tonight," a voice said behind him. He was startled and turned. It was Cynthia. He had forgotten she was in his apartment.

"Oh Cynthia, is you!" He said. " you startled me.

"Sorry, so where are we going?" She asked smiling.

"We? No girl, am going alone."

"Why don't you take me with you? It's boring here without you." She pleaded.

"Why not hang out with your friends?" He suggested as he brought some money out from his drawer. "Take this, you can go shopping with your friends or something."

"Is you I want, not this damn money." She screamed at him as she threw the money away. "Why are you treating me like this? Why? Is there a new catch? Are you going on a date with someone else?"

He ignored her and walked out, time is not his friend anymore. He would have sat Cynthia down and explain to her that his new catch is not just any girl but a girl he would love to spend the rest of his life with. He will still talk to her. He thought as he picked up his car keys. "I have to go to my destiny!" He sang as he left the house.

He couldn't beat the traffic, it was so bad that he thought of parking his car and trekking to the restaurant. He was already 10 minutes late and the drive from there is 30 minutes. He was still contemplating on what to do when he heard some noise, he looked up and saw some drivers coming out from their vehicles and raining abuses at someone; he wondered what was going on. From the look of things, the traffic jam is going to take a long to subside. He decided to do the only thing he knows how to do. jog!

Tara was infuriated, "he invited me here only to keep me waiting," she thought as she checked her time for the umpteenth time. "I might just walk away from here." She waved to the waiter to pay her bills. The waiter approached, she opened her purse and brought out some money. She was about handling it over to the waiter when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Not so fast girl!"

She recognized the voice and stood up to face him with an angry stare.. "What the heck......!" She stopped when she saw him, he looked so haggard and all sweaty. Has he been running? She asked herself. "What happened to you?" She asked as she signaled to the waiter to leave. "You came an hour late looking like someone who just ran 1000 metre race."

"Exactly!" I just ran 5000 metre race all because of you." He said sitting.

"What happened?" She asked again sitting down, Richard sat opposite her.

"There was traffic on the way, when I thought the traffic was getting better, a trunk got spoilt at the middle of the road, I had no choice than to park my car somewhere and jogged down here."

"You could have called to cancel the dinner," she said.

"Yes I could have if only I had your number."

She sighed and apologized once again for being rude to him the other day.

"Is okay, I understand what you are going through." She looked at him questioning. " Mimi told me everything Mara, but you don't have to shut yourself out just because some idiots broke your heart."

She was furious! How dare Mimi discuss her with a stranger! She will get it from her when she gets home.

"Oh No!" Exclaimed Richard reading her thoughts. "Don't be mad at your friend, she was only concerned about you. Besides, I was the one who pestered her to tell me all about you girls."

"I can relate. What exactly do you want from us Richard?" Tara asked with seriousness.

"I just want to be a friend, not just any friend but that friend who can confide in, that friend you can run to in times of trouble. I want to be that friend."

"But I already have that friend. She's Mimi. Don't tell me you want to take her place." She joked. "Besides, am not interested in having any guy as a friend.

"You know I can never take her place," he said and smiled.

She studied him, he was more handsome than she thought. He was a beautiful man. He has a fine and trim masculine body that will make any woman melt. No wonder her friend is so much in love with him, is time she finds out what his relationship

"And Mimi," she asked. "What do you think of her?"

CrimePhotos: The Ugly State Of Ezzagu Police Station, Ishielu LGA Ebonyi State. by popefrank2016(op): 10:35am On Feb 03, 2021
Police are one of the most ubiquitous organisations of the society. The policemen, therefore, happen to be the most visible representatives of the society but, the case of Ezzagu police division happens to be a different one as, reverse is their case study.. According to one of the Ezzagu patriots (Mazi Godwin Ezaka) who visited the Ezzagu Police Station within the week, wept on his arrival. 

He said: 'We are doomed security wise and I pity the only Policeman, ASP Udeh we met on ground. He needs encouragement, empowerment and our support. He laid the whole blame of insecurity on the youths of the community. He lacks water, electricity, mobility, manpower and he is tired of using his personal money to clear the grasses. His accommodation is not befitting for rats let alone human beings. He can't even arrest culprits because there is no cell to put them. He advises rebuilding of post, application for more policemen'.

Nigerian police should be equipped in all times, as there  are possibility of danger, crisis and difficulty. when a citizen does not know, what to do and whom to approach, the police station and a policeman stands to be the most suitable and appropriate unit to register your complain. Police division, post and headquarter should be readily available and made accessible, interactive and conducive organisation of every society. Ezzagu police station is in a total mess as it has been abandoned for a years unattended to by the government. A lots of registered and cognizable offences should have been registered in Ezzagu Nigerian post, but the functions and the service of the division is crumbled and doomed by the responsible arm of the government.

The abandoned police buildings in Ezzagu are the subcategory of the larger problem of physical disorder in a community. The building is unoccupied and in a state of grave disrepair, perhaps boarded up, strewn with trash, and scrawled with graffiti. Well, polished and equipped Police station at times posed and evoke fear to criminals as the good look alone will make the criminals in the vicinity think twice.  The abandoned  Ezzagu police properties, contribute to a self-perpetuating cycle of blight and the government cannot reduce fear and crime when the police is beset by abandoned buildings.

CrimeSuspected Herdsmen Abducted One Injured Others In Ezzagu. by popefrank2016(op): 1:19pm On Feb 01, 2021
Saturday, 30th of January 2021 is a tragedic one in Ezzagu Ishielu local government area of Ebonyi state as a heavily armed gunmen suspected to be Fulani herders invaded the community raining bullets to the community and abducted one of the occupants of RAV4 Jeep and left so many others injured.

It is pertinent to let known of the public that there is no single police post from the popular 3corners in Nkanu east local government area of Enugu state through the said Ezzagu road axis to Ezillo, Ishielu local government headquarter. The absence of the policemen on the road made the ugly conditions of federal road worst as their absence exposes the community and the road users to more dangers.

The gunmen now took advantage of the deplorable state of the road to unleash deadly attacks to the community and the road users as the road leading from Amagunze to Ezzagu is almost inaccessible.

CultureAll You Need To Know About Traditional Wedding And White Wedding. by popefrank2016(op): 4:48am On Jan 19, 2021
Recently, there is this news flying the whole of social media about one man who decided to change the traditional steps in marriage by taking the bull by its horn. The groom has decided to walked his heart rob in Igbo traditional way of marriage in Imo state last weekend. Marriage is established once there is agreement between the bride and the groom. Since marriage is an universal agreement of duo who chooses to come together as a husband and wife, why then do we prefer white Wedding to our own traditional style?

A lots of people believed that couple are still incomplete to the things of God until they walk down to the altar for a white Wedding. The white wedding of today started it's journey from Great Britain which first became popular with Victorian era elites after Queen Victoria wore a white lace dress at her wedding. To me, white wedding is for the white people while the traditional wedding is for the Africans with a peculiar history.

Why do people run away from the traditional wedding?


No matter what happened, traditional way of marriage will always remain as some churches today in Africa country can never join any couple unless the present to them with a certification letter from the traditional home where the bride is coming out from. The essence of the certificate is to ensure that the bride price and other traditional related requirements are met with before the white wedding.

Is it necessary for a couple to wed both in a traditional and the foreign way?

The answer is No. like I said earlier before, marriage is established immediately when the concerned persons pronounced their agreement to the hearing of their witnesses. There is no reason why one is properly done with the traditional wedding will dress up with suit and white lace for the white wedding aka foreign wedding.

Traditional wedding is better in all ramifications, firstly it is our cultural responsibility to institute a marriage in a traditional grand style. The law should let the couples dressed in their native attire and proceeds to the village playground where the consent of the people should be clearly made. Traditional Way of marriage is supposed to be the best form of marriage as the white/church wedding we look up on to is the borrowed culture that has its guidelines unknown to the Africans.

Should we allow our own culture to die in the cost of practicing white man culture? The answer is capital No. Traditional way of marriage has come to stay in Africa.

Recommendations:

If we can adopt the traditional wedding as our cultural way to marriage, then I will highly recommend the adoption of putting on traditional attire, celebrating the marriage at the village playground, using of kola-nuts and decorating of the playground with our cultural costumes.

CultureDo You Think Couple Can Still Cheat, If Vows Are To Be Made In The Shrine? by popefrank2016(op): 8:28pm On Dec 07, 2020
Some people believe in natural phenomena while thousands of people believe on what super natural, unseen can do. There is this question running on my nerves since, but i have decided to share it here to the fullest consumption and digestion of everyone.

Question: If marriage vows are to be made on the shrine, do you think married couple can still cheat on themselves?

Shrine: A shrine is a sacred place dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, demon, or similar figure of respect, wherein they are venerated or worshiped. Shrines often contain idols, relics, or other objects associated with the figure being venerated.

My Take: It's obvious that people respect men more to God. God is the creator of men and the maker of heaven and earth and everything in it. It baffles me that, some people respect tradition more than the super naturalist himself. 

Research, shows that marriage vows made in the church are easily broken, why?. During the marriage vow in the church of God, the couple will make a pronouncement of certain vows to the hearing of the church and the supreme being. It will be pertinent to say that such vow can hardly survived the taste of time.

Now, if marriage is beckoned on the traditional agreements, people will try everything possible to be guided by the vow made during the initiation. No wonder some prominent traditionalist chooses the traditional ways of marriage most times.

There are some known people or place who doesn't play or joke  with their tradition, places like Nsuka, Abakaliki and some part of Delta state are good examples of people who cares much about their traditions when it's comes to marriage, and it's one of the reasons why it is easier to managed couples from the aforementioned tribe.

He is also the only person who is sure of his ticket among all the contestants. Your choice may even be far from the party’s ticket. His emergence to senate is also an eye opener for everyone. 70% of the person’s he defeated are the same persons he will be contesting governorship with either directly or indirectly.

If senator Ubah can do it outside the corridors of power, what more now that he’s a sitting senator. his records in the senate is another added advantage not to talk about his over ten powerful structures, ranging from Afa, Igbo Efuna, active voters and Ifeanyi Ubah solidarity movement etc.

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is a known grass root politician who understands the language of the street and is believed to have also invested a whole lots in Anambra state. The odds are seriously working in his favour.

It was just a function of which should i fly?

Ekwunife is a powerful woman that knows how to have her way among both the high and mighty and the poor masses. She is simply a field marshal in politics.

Dr. Godwin Maduka:

Dr Maduka is a PDP governorship aspirant, with outstanding credentials and already existing impacts. He has also contributed extensively, with his individual resources to promote development in Anambra State.

Dr. Maduka earnest inputs towards advancing visionary prospects for the people of Anambra state, especially with his youth-friendly nature which supports his amazing charismatic influence. His inputs cuts across provisional supports in areas of free housing for poor and vulnerable families, widows, disadvantaged persons and humanitarian supports for underprivileged persons through his NGO, Godwin Maduka Foundation. He is undoubtedly the right choice of people of Anambra.

Dr. Obiora Okonkwo:

Obiora Okonkwo, a Russian-trained Political Scientist and a High Chief from Ogidi in Idemili North local government area is one of the major political players in Anambra governorship election come 2021.
Obiora is a recognized by his people as a community leader for his philanthropy and honoured with the elevated title of High Chief Dikeora (Strength of The People). He was further decorated as the Ide Umuakwukwo (Doyen of Scholarship) for his love and support for education across the country. He is also the installed Leader, Nzuko Imeobi Idemili.
He is founder of Dikeora Forum, a charity foundation through which he reaches out to the poor and less privileged by undertaking their healthcare and education burdens off them. He adopted Karu Motherless Babies Home, in Abuja, and made it his primary focus. He funds, and supports, international youth exchange programmes that encourage learning and entrepreneurship.
Obiora also awards scholarships to deserving and qualified students to universities in Nigeria and overseas which made him more qualified in clinching the position. He is indeed a Dikeora whose people are looking up to as the incoming governor.
Okonkwo: A star shines from Anambra
Godwin Ezeemo:

Anambra State under the platform of PDP. The declaration makes it clear that Ezeemo is making his third attempt to be the governor of Anambra State having done so in 2013 and 2017 on the platform of the defunct Action Congress (AC) and Peoples Progressive Alliance (PPA).

Perhaps the Umuchu born businessman-turned politician is the first to officially indicate his interest to run the 2021 race under PDP. Others are yet to officially intimate the party on their intentions to contest the next governorship election in Anambra on PDP platform. Many believe Ezeemo is a good material for PDP considering his exposure, experience and programme for good governance for the state. The gentle man commands popularity that cuts across the state.

Dr. Chinue Ozigbo:

Together, we can rally around a vision that will lift Anambra to its place of genuine pride for all.

Our differences in approach to solving the problems of healthcare, infrastructure, education, and social safety nets for our most vulnerable don’t have to divide us. When one of us is dehumanized, we diminish our collective humanity. I totally reject the politics of yesterday and embrace a new unified future said the governorship aspirant.

I am hoping to be that bridge-builder our people are yearning for. That is the essence of my political aspiration.

Valentine Ozigbo is a Nigerian business leader and philanthropist who is the immediate past President and Group CEO of Transcorp Plc. He is also the founder of Valentine Chineto Ozigbo (VCO) Foundation, which is focused on youth and women.

Dr. George Moghalu:

Ndi Anambra need someone like Moghalu who will be consistent in his decisions not the type that will make promises and renege on them almost the next day, not the type that will betray people’s trust in him and not the type that will tell lies when he speaks. I am sure he will be loyal to relevant stakeholders. To be loyal means to be available and accessible, to have an open door and listen to someone or the people who want to talk to you, hear them out and do what they ask you to do for them. That is the kind of a leader the people wish to have at the Government House.”

In addition to consistency and loyalty, Moghalu has also gained the exposure and experience needed to run a State like Anambra. He is one politician from Anambra who has had the privilege of working with Nigerians from different walks of life and from different parts of the country.

1. The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

2. Inspector General of Police

3. Director General, State Security Services

4. Chief of Defense Staff

MY RESPONSE

WHY ANYIM? MUST YOU ALWAYS FIGHT EVERY EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF EBONYI STATE….?

I ought not to have responded to the open insult/assault on our dear wonder working Governor by no other person than you “Sen. Anyim “A known serial fighter and distractor of every Government since the creation of Ebonyi State but for posterity sake.

It is rather funny and I’m surprised you can allow your Name on that ill fated letter/document which falls standard of any form of letter from a man who has once held the office of the President of the Senate and Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

It is more ridiculous that you can allow yourself to be used to concote stories of Rev. Ononye, Prof. Odoh and Charles Otu just to score a cheap political goal and undermine a Godsent Man, anointed for the BLESSING AND LIBERATION of Ebonyi State.

Let me tell you Sir, that I live here in Abakaliki and Edda, thus Ebonyians knows the truth as we know who did what.

I want you to note as follows;

1. That your antics of fighting every elected Governor of our state is known to us and cannot work this time as Ebonyians are wiser. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

2. That the BLOOD of innocent Ebonyians you and Senator Sam Egwu wasted in 2002/2003 is still crying for justice and we will not allow such again.

3. That for your information, Engr. David Nweze Umahi was already a complete and successful Man prior to 2015 election as he had excelled in the business world, was a one time State Chairman of the then ruling party and Incumbent Deputy Governor of dear State before 2014/2015.

4. That it beats my imagination that after you held our common patrimony hostage for years as you collected FUNDS made for the people’s project, collected assorted brand new cars from the state government, you suddenly realised that all is not well.
WHO IS FOOLING WHO?

5. That I challenge you to make public your developmental contribution to our dear State having held many highly placed offices in this nation.

6. That instead of coming to unleash terrorism/violence on Ebonyians, it is better for you to go and answer for how you looted FUNDS meant for the Centenary City in Abuja.

It is on this note that I wish you to as a matter of urgency;

A. Stop forthwith, any form of insult/assault on the Executive Governor of our dear State.

B. Allow us enjoy the peace and tranquility we have here in Ebonyi State.

C. Display your scorecard for Ebonyians to see.

Senator Anyim it may interest you as well to know as follows;

I. That in the history of Ebonyi State, we have never seen a Workaholic Governor as Dave who as a Governor has transformed the State Capital “Abakaliki” to one of the best in Nigeria.
We’re no longer been used as a jest point.

II. That the Flyover Bridges across the State was conceived and constructed by Akubaraoha/ FGN led by our dear President.

III. That Engr. Apostle DNU has made it possible through CEMENT TECHNOLOGY that nearly all the major villages in Ebonyi State are now motorable.

IV. That the transformation and relocation of the International Market was made possible by Engr. David Umahi.

V. That a visit to the new Government House constructed by the people’s Apostle will help teach you some sense.

VI. That the Street Lights we are enjoying in parts of Ebonyi State was made available by Governor Umahi.

And so many other GIANT STRIDES.

As a young Ebonyian, I want you to understand clearly that never again shall we allow you use the BLOOD of Eboyians to satisfy you political urge.

I know that the same way you deceived most of us in 2002/2003 and abandoned us when it mattered most in the name of Abuja Group is the same FRAUD you have come to perpetuate again but unfortunately we know it thus you have FAILED even before you started.

You’re resident in Abuja and hardly visits home, so allow us some peace here.

Thanks and God Bless My Governor…Our Governor…The Father of the State!

God Bless Ebonyi State and Nigeria.

It Is Well, To God Be The Glory.

Yours,

Comrade Okenwa Nnachi Uka JP.

Nairaland GeneralFew Good Things You Can Learn From Big Brother Naija. by popefrank2016(op): 11:22pm On Aug 02, 2019
https://loadednews.com/2019/07/24/few-good-things-you-can-learn-from-big-brother-naija/
Big brother pepper dem season show is expected to enlighten people more on the kind of people we are dealing with in our society, their attitude and way of life, their reactions when some things happen, so we can know how to associate with people, but we don't take it that way. When it comes to reality shows, people view it in many ways and react to it differently.

In reality shows, people want to see only good people, smart people, intelligent and talented housemates which is the reason why if anyone shows their true color, people will be using it against the show and give it a bad tag.

Big brother naija (pepper dem season) is no doubt one of the best reality shows in Africa and it always calls for masses attention whenever it is going on.

The organizer always select the proper housemates that will go with the season's tag which they usually like to let it be something that will bring drama.

During the 'see gobe' season which was season two, a lot of 'Gobe' actually happened in the house from the housemates like Bisola, T boss, Debbyrise,bally, bassey and others in which Efe end up being the winner of the season.

Season three was tagged 'Double wahala' and it was indeed a double wahala between some housemates like Tobi and Ceecee. Ifuenada,Kloe,Alex and others also did not hide their attitudes too.
Big brother really knows how to select his housemates.

Its now 'Pepper dem season' with a lot of expectation from people, but one thing we should all know is that as we are watching their drama, their fights and their love life, there are many things we can learn from them. There is no movie that doesn't have one or two lessons to teach us not to talk of a reality show, it only depends on our reason for watching it.

You can't conclude that it doesn't teach you anything when you have not watch it to the end, and fighting in the house only shows us what we can experience from people around us. Seeing how the good and bad side of people help them to become rich or famous in few weeks is one of the great things to learn from big brother, that we should not be looking down on anyone.

Some people will be in the competition with pride and they will end up being evicted in few weeks, that shows that pride goes before destruction.

Big brother also teaches us to be ourselves and not to pretend or try to play too smart, that we should know that nothing can be done with our knowledge alone. It also shows us our life on earth where we have a very short time to live and we don't know what is happening in heaven which is our final home. This Pepper dem season's show, i believe will have a lots to offer you. Keep watching the big brother reality Tv show.

EducationThe Missionary Schools And The Poor-pope Frank by popefrank2016(op): 5:53pm On Jun 18, 2019
I want to point out some weak and outdated education system in churches which needs to be altered. Today we are living in a society where millions of children are unable to go to missionary schools due to the hike of their fees.

Let me quickly introduce to you what missionary schools is all about. Missionary schools is a school built by the mission in order to alleviate or cut down the cost of education in a given country. It is a school providing a general education but supported by a particular church in contrast to a public school or a nondenominational private schools. The missionary schools today as we all known is the schools built by the mission,priest or pastor with the money donated by the poor. The cost of the so called missionary schools are beckoned on the expenses of the poor whose their primary aim is to attract the goodness and blessings of the lord.

Many of the church paupers (poor) as they were labelled holds the sensitive parts towards the actualization of the good for nothing project called missionary schools. My question now is, how many children of these poor contributors, who toiled with their every penny on ground had benefited from the so called missionary schools? Missionary schools are supposed to be for the welfare of the poor and as a tripod stands that supports the educational plans of the poor people.

The most expensive schools today are owned by the missions who are in a competitions of who pays the highest fees to the detriments of the poor. The churches of today especially in Nigeria are properly out for business, what is the faith of our Christianity? Let me quickly bring down your conscience in case you have lost it. Do you think there will be a missionary schools without the poor congregants? Do you know that the private jets, expensive cars and the high class life of the pastors and the priests are being taken care of by the poor? There will be no them without us. Nonsense!

The problem of Nigerians today is still unknown, the government of the country is not doing anything to help her citizens, the churches who are supposed to stands for us are raping us from behind. What a fraud in a magnified level!

Missionary schools are supposed to be for those who could not afford to pay their fees. Its supposed to be free of charges. Why is it supposed to be free of charges? The school was built by the monies realizes from the poor, the salaries of the teachers, tutors and the lecturers of the said institutions will still being shared in the churches among the poor followers, why will their children not benefits from the schools?

During the church projects, some of the wretched ones who cannot make a huge financial contributions, contributes their human supports by clearing the sites meant for the projects and doing some other domestic jobs, absolutely for free. What other contributions do you expect from the poor?

Just as spiderweb holds fast a fly, millions of poor people are held fast by the superstitions and falsehood of the so called churches. My children may not attend the so called missionary schools tomorrow, but let the justice be done, What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

To all the churches and the missionary schools in Nigeria, i know you must have heard a bigger thing than this, but chooses to hardened yours hearts. Our people have been fooled many times in the name of Christianity, as a shepherd, what joy do you find when the sheep under your care are being messed up? The welfare of the people under your care should be your top priority. It is better for me to give directly to the needy than giving my money to the churches of today who careless about her followers.

The pastors and the priests are becoming richer and fatter, while the poor congregations whose their money are being used for their up keeps are becoming poorer, what a lackadaisical formation! It is only in Nigeria that missionary schools turned to be the opposite. Missionary schools should be scrapped from the churches of today, i mean, they should also stop using the name of God's church in defrauding her followers. The poor should left alone in every contributions meant for the project of the church, since it is now their personal business enterprise.

The cost of traveling and studying abroad is now lesser than going into any educational institution in Nigeria built and managed by the missions. This posts is not in any way written or meant to cajole anybody, churches or the so called missionary schools, but to unveil the hidden truths.

BusinessVoorhees Highlight Reasons Why Bitcoin Needs To Be Conservative. by popefrank2016(op): 6:45pm On Mar 25, 2019
Voorhees stated that both fusibility and Lightning Network were important developments for Bitcoin in terms of technical aspects, but an exchange-traded fund (ETF) was crucial for the entire cryptocurrency industry.

All of those are important to my opinion and that’s why I like to see all the experimentation that’s happening said Voorhees . Bitcoin needs to be very conservative and it can’t try out every new idea and it can’t optimize for every variable,” he said. Voorhees spoke about the most important things that need to happen for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry at large.

He added that Bitcoin can’t be the “most innovative” and the “most conservative” cryptocurrency at the same time, adding that “they’re mutually exclusive.”

During the interview, Voorhees further stated that other chains shouldn’t be dismissed because they’re less decentralized than Bitcoin. Here is what Voorhees has to say:

“I think that there should be chains that are more centralized and with higher throughput and there should be chains that are less centralized with less throughput and having both of those in existence actually makes the whole crypto ecosystem stronger and in both cases we’re still vastly better off than any bank.”

Nairaland GeneralWhy You Should Turn Off Helpers At ATM Places. by popefrank2016(op): 11:25am On Mar 21, 2019
Scammers are devising a new methods every day to defraud people from their hard earned money. We are in the world where people no longer trust themselves let alone finding trust from unknown persons. A lots have happened since the introduction and installation of ATM (Automated Teller  Machine) machine within and outside the banking places.

What is ATM?  It is an electronic telecommunications device that enables customers of financial institutions to perform financial transactions, such as cash withdrawals, deposits, transfer funds, or obtaining account information, at any time and without the need for direct interaction with bank staff. As a result, thousands of people have been scammed of their hard earned fortune in the name of seeking help from the ungodly monsters, who parade themselves as a saints at the ATM places. Giving them access to your security codes, you will stand a risk of loosing your money to them using one method or the other.

Having heard the cries of the people, I decided to make this post to highlight some of the hidden reasons why you should not ask of help from anybody at the automated teller machines places. If you must ask of help, it shouldn't be from anybody. There is always some security personnel that you will always direct your questions to at every ATM stand. Though I advised, you walk into the banking hall, meet their customer's care attendant and lay down your complaints. Doing that will save you the outstanding risks of scammers. Below are some of the reasons why you should not ask of help at the ATM stand.

Why You Should Not Ask Of Every Help At ATM Places.

1. Your ATM Card Will Be Exchanged: Many people have fall into this while asking a help from the unknown person. This is what they do, they came to the ATM places with
varieties of ATM cards. Once you fall into their set traps, they will now exchange your ATM with theirs after you must have given them your security. Before
giving out your ATM cards to anyone, make sure you check your name that was in-scripted on your ATM card to be the same after the transactions.

2. They Can Easily Transfer Money To Their own Account:
 Another dangers of allowing somebody to assist you at the cash dispensing gallery, is the risks of mishandling your account by your helper. The scammers can smartly and neatly wired money into their own account in the pretense of rendering help. A lots of folks have fallen into this pranks especially when you ask them to assist you transfer to a particular account number.

3. Manage Your Card Yourself At POS: Take your card to the register when paying rather than have someone take your card to the register for you, so that you can see how the store cashier or restaurant employee handles your card. Some people don't cover the keypad as they enter their PIN at the public places. Be sure to collect the transaction receipt at the point of sale (POS) after every transaction. Using cash more and cards less while shopping helps protect you by minimizing the opportunities criminals have to infiltrate your card transactions. Taking above reasons wherever you go will surely minimize the risks scammers even at the ATM stands. Forward the articles above to your loved ones if you found it helpful, you might save  a life.

Science/Technology5 Tips To Differentiate Clone From Original Phones. by popefrank2016(op): 12:25am On Jan 10, 2019

Camera Qualities:
 A lots of people especially the slay type are been pushed in using the types of phones they are using today because of it's camera quality. The selfie addicts are ready to use any type of phone once the camera features are of the best quality. A good number of good smartphones are in the market today unsold because of the poor camera quality. Many have turned their smartphones to videos and cameras and made using a video and camera machines options for covering of an events.



Storage Sizes:
 
ROM and RAM storage sizes are one of the good motivator that pushes one in making a choice. The Rom and Ram specs are the most common determinant used before buying a new smartphone. Using an expensive phone with a low storage capacity and a processing capability  is as good as using a toy. Storage capacity are the big thing that interest a phone users while buying or replacing their smartphones.

A phone with a bigger storage space operate more smoothly other than a phone with a normal storage sense. The RAM who helps in articulating and processing of the activities of the smartphone, operate more when there is a larger memory. You can not buy a new phone without a point of upgrading to a phone with a higher storage of ROM and the RAM capacity. Remember, the more the storage capacity the more it will contain and stores more files.



Battery: 

No body wants to be going about carrying a charger and power banks in the name of trying to beat the test of the battery. Some phones are making waves in our local markets today because of their ability to withstand a longer period. The joy of using a smartphone today is the ability of the phone to work for some days without charging or boosting the battery.  Phones like Tecno pouvor 2,Tecno L9+ and Itel 1556 are popular today not because of any other thing but because of it's batteries's capability which are beyond 5000mAh etc. As with all of these devices, the battery life is excellent. You should get about a week and a half from a single charge (depending on usage, obviously.



Models:
Using a phone is good but using a phone with a global recognition is better. There are a lots of  good smartphones in the market today. Do you know why all these phones have not been making a way? The reason is simple! They were unable to unveil their luck because the company from which the phones were produced from lacks the global knowledge. I have a friend that cannot use any other phone except the make of Samsung.

Tecno products are gradually taking over our local and international markets because of the trust and efficacy of the brand name. There are reputable company's names you should think of whenever you talked of smartphone.



Price:
This is actually the major part of the whole thing. Cutting your cloth according to your size is the maxim for the wise.  when there are choices to make. The price of the phone you want to buy will play a significant role in determining the type of phone your going to buy. The price of the phone will pushed you to ask yourself what you’re actually doing with the phone. If the question were answered correctly, then you will know if the worth fit it.

You could save hundreds by opting for a cheaper model, or an older model, for instance, and still get everything done that you need to.

If you’re literally just using it for calls, texts, email and some web browsing, do yourself some good and get a cheaper phones like tecno phones rather than the samsung Galaxy S8, or the mighty iPhone8 Plus.
