..so they said 2027 election is between APC and nigerians..APC vs nigerians..it's nigerians that will decide in 2027 election ..if they still want to continue with this hunger, hardship, food stampede or if they do not want to continue with it ?

Rather it's Nigerians vs INEC.
If Nigerians aren't ready to deal with INEC then they're not ready and serious.

Kobojunkie:
He is not lying! The same behavior is exhibited here in the United States by members of Nigerian churches. The vast majority of them are unable to properly integrate into the larger society due to social impairment. That is why their lives revolve around their churches and church programs.

Religion gets its power from reducing the social connections of its members to turn them into captives— prisoners/slaves to the doctrines/traditions of the religion. And all ethnicities are impacted the same.

Unfortunately you are replying out of context and contradicting yourself.
The issue is his statement that it's Easterners that do like that.
I told him that it's more of westerners approach to Christianity as the church in question is a western church and that Easterners aren't into it as much as westerners.
You now said that he's right, meaning that his assertion about Easterners as opposed to westerners is right.
And then you turned around again to say that it's all ethnicities that are prone to that, which is contrary to his assertion that it's only Easterners.
Where do you stand? Supporting what he said and at the same time saying it's all ethnicities that are into it is contradicting yourself.

is bitter Pandora obituary not paying for his useless online zombies to go for this Christmas in the sad east so that they will be roasted like suya goat and save us this noise pollution?

The sort of mumu illiterates that populate this nairaland is appalling.

Thundafireseun:
I have a feeling he would be back to prison soon….

Him and VDM … prison awaits them

You and your fellow ronus are more interested in jailing people that say the truth than providing food for the 35 kids that hunger killed in Ibadan.

Goodlyhrt:
My parents tried to raise us in the way that most Christian homes would go.. In the way of the Lord! And all the associated activities of going to Church all Sundays, ignoring all other associations as they are perceived as being unequally yoked with unbelievers. Adhering to all doctrines of the church no questions.

I was raised in this type of environment. In short my parents were staunch members of the Deeper Life Christian Ministries (DLCM) and all my formative years where under the doctrines and teachings of the church.

My parents and the Church taught me to put all my hope in the Lord in all situations and never to complain much because God will make a way even at the dieing minutes.

So I grew up weary of my non church going environment. I wouldn't find myself being a social animal that I am working aggressively hard on becoming nowadays.

So I made church friends, and went to church gatherings, church schools right until my secondary school days.

But there is a catch.

I watched my family falter and we lost everything we had. My father went down with diabetes around 2008 and nobody to help. He lost his carpentry workshop and showroom.. almost lost his life to the disease.

The Church, my church DLCM couldn't offer us good help because they too were individually waiting on the Lord too. So they offered us help but meager.

But that was the only gathering we knew and are aquatinted with.

No Umunna membership, ordinary friends gathering or in another word Friends club. Even market association, my parents never belonged to any of those.

We solely waited on the Lord and around 2011, my dad's diabetes was somehow controlled. Thanks to my Uncle in the village who came to our rescue by using herbs and leaves to help my dad. But not without enough convincing and lobbying from my uncle because my parents saw the help as being fetish of some sort.

In fact at that time we were not in talking terms with the said uncle because of his native practices. But at the end of the day he came to our rescue through the herbs he gave to my dad.

What I am saying is that my parents lifestyle of being too churchy in the way the raised us has been net detrimental in my life as a grown man and to my siblings too.

Talking about me. I didn't finish my education due to my dad's health and the fact that there's no one that could help me who my dad is aquainted with. My social skills is zero until recently. I didn't know how to deal with anybody outside talking about church related stuff and academic stuff I was lost.

So I am on this situation all thanks to my parents way of life of being too judgemental of everything not church related.

In short right now I don't how to keep a healthy relationship - you know calling to check up on someone, buying gifts, attending birthdays and all those stuffs that make knowing people interesting. I am just trying to pick these stuffs up from the street now.


And it hasn't helped in any way.

I think it has brought untold hardship to our lives in the sense that we suffer alone with no one to help. Not uncle's, not friends because we hardly make friends. In those days I wondered why no one visits my parents at home while all our neighbors hosted visitors almost all day especially on Sundays. Unless we are hosting Bible study session.

The simple truth is that no one should exist alone in this plane Earth. We were never built to survive alone and my parents and the church were all wrong.

So I stopped going to church totally. I hated my life how it has turned out and wish I could've made my own decisions earlier in life.

Of a truth I started dodging church activities very early in my teen years but I met stiff rebuttal from my dad. You know the "if I don't see you in church blah blah blah no school fees for you blah blah blah".

Because I started noticing something was off.

They said God answered prayers but I couldn't get answers to mine. I could remember one time in the DLCM camp ground. I prayed earnestly to be healed of my deformity, seeing that others got theirs and I was moved and cried sore for God to heal me. Even made promises to God if he proves his faithfulness. But it seemed the blessings from pastor Kumuyi would never get to me.

I was depressed and got angered.

Starting from then, my prayer life took a dive. Interest in the things of the church tanked.

Also my dad's ill fortune and how we suffered to eat most times during that time, made me question God and doubtful in everything.

In conclusion. We are never going to survive alone as species. We all need US in our lives.

I have started opening up to non church related associations lately. I even joined another church howbeit a modern church if you know what I mean. But now, I joined the church with a purpose. Not because I like going there but because I needed the connections there.

In the Bible it says that we should worship God with understanding but most non-orthodox denominations don't understand a thing.

My message to everyone.

Go out there and be aquainted with your fellow humans. Don't listen to religion and its backwater ideologies because we can't survive alone.

Join a political party, know some force men and become friends. Go to events with the sole aim of meeting new people.

Attend seminars and be active in the society.

A little appraisal of the Yoruba people. In the way some of them practice the Abrahamaic religion. They don't go overboard like the Northerners because of Islam or as strict as the Easterners, my people, in the way they practice Christianity. I stayed in Lagos for upto six years and I was initially confused in the way they practiced the Abrahamaic religions but now I understand better and I am in love with their way in that aspect.

Lastly be wise in your association with people. I.e. avoid secret societies or cult groups because although they'd promise you protection but it's all a lie.

I want to add this.

I learnt this from a pastor.

He said that the reason why Africa is suffering and is in great poverty is because we don't have more partnership businesses.

People have really nice business ideas but no one to sponsor them because African people are not inclined to form partnership so they don't know how to handle it.

In Europe or "the West", many people live off their investment in numerous business partnerships. No matter how little the business they invest in it and get it working good and then get ROI. Even when they are not actively employed or run their own personal business. But they are getting ROI from the investment in other people's businesses.

I think this is true though.

Sorry for the long read.

I understand your plight about your ignorantly religious parents.
However you are wrong to say that that's how Eastern people practice Christianity.
You are using your parents to define Easterners. Easterners are sociable to the core and are more of Catholics, Anglicans and Methodist and Presbyterians and this makes them more open minded about religion and social life.
Remember that DCLM your parents attend is a Southwest church.
The problem is that your parents are among the few Easterners that Yoruba-based Pentecostal churches brainwashed with ignorance and you became a victim.

madridguy:
Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat just serve give in enemies. How on earth will you announced give away on a radio station in this present Nigeria.

You have been doing children fun fair for years, which you will just appear at schools doing end of the year party unannounced, you make the kids happy and also the school management and you give them many things.

People don't longer do hard copy IV now for event, even some will not even use public address system, all this is to prevent crowd since everyone is now looking for where to eat due to severe hunger in the land.

How do you compensate over 35 families? I pray God Almighty comfort them all.

Tinubu is the cause of this!!! He said he would remove subsidy without caring about it's consequences.
Now hunger and the desperation to survive are the consequences.
Afterall the foolish Senate president, Akpabio told Nigerians that anywhere they see free food, they should rush and eat.

FearlessYoruba:
That's why Lagos landlord want to change the status quo, don't you think every other state should support the bills?

The bill deserves support but some lazy states and their government don't want it.

A Consortium means an association of two or more companies.

Check the list closely, I know you are looking for OANDO but your eyes would need a lot of straining to do.

Tony Elumelu is involved.

JASONjnr:
You can't compare kidnapping with cultism and manslaughtering.

The North is a safer place compared to the East.

I went to Borno for a presentation last week and it was calm and even safer.

Two years ago I travelled to cross river on the 26th December and our vehicle got stoped while approaching Rivers state from Imo state, these guys stopped us and kept us under their detention till 4pm before releasing us to continue with our journey. I won't go into details but it was God that made them to change their mind to release us.

It's Clear that Bwala and NBS are all IPOB S.

FearlessYoruba:
All other states are robbing Lagos and Rivers state

You are dead wrong. All MTN vat is credited to Lagos because that's where their headquarters is even though the man in that forest in Taraba state used MTN to make calls.
So the law that makes the place where the headquarters of a company is sited being the beneficiary state of their vat and other forms of tax is what favour Lagos and some states.
First bank for instance, even though they have branches all over Nigeria but their vat is credited to Lagos because that's where the headquarters is located.
So Lagos is actually robbing other states.
That same law also applies to where the registration address of a company is.
If you registered your company is Sokoto, but you are doing the business in Kano, Sokoto is where your vat and some other taxes go.
That's some of the things that the new tax law wants to change.
However the reason why the north is opposed to it is because sharing formula will also change. You collect something synonymous with what you contribute, no longer use of population and landmass.
Therefore states like Lagos though their contribution will reduce but they still have high numbers because of the volume of business activities and will still get something higher than others.
Northern states will now have to work hard to increase business activities in their states, and that's why they're screaming blue murder.

Organized nations. Not a bulabablu country.

Celestialsword:
It is the value system in this part of the world,when you occupy a high political office, you're expected by your family n friends to do the needful,if you don't you will rejected,

It's a common practice, even you,if given a high political office, you will do worse, you are only pretending because you've not gotten the opportunity .

The onus is that do things that the people will remember you for

It's the value system in the village where you come from and not in my own place.
It's you that would steal as they would want you to when you occupy a high office of trust.
Decent and honest leaders are here in Nigeria.
I was residing in Anambra state when Mr Peter Obi was the governor and saw a man who can lead without stealing and inflating contracts.
So maybe stealing is the value system you believe in.

Celestialsword:
mention one governor in Nigeria that is clean


Ibori worked in Delta state, nobody has surpassed his achievements

So because majority of them are thieves they should be celebrated?
So because Ibori did some work, he's no longer a thief but should be celebrated?
THE MENTALITY OF YOU NIGERIANS sef. You people don't deserve decent and good leaders.

GboyegaD:
Aren't they all Christians?

People using church as business for financial gains. Nothing more.

zero8zero:
This is why Governor Sheriff was jittery and firing shots at Tinubu.

So you are taking these thief's seriously?
After her father stole the state dry with his girlfriend, this one is talking rubbish.
Family of thieves and the people of their area is hailing her.

What is happening?

Read na and understand what they did. You don't read. It's still rotational.

gidgiddy:
Defamation, also known as slander or libel, has to be decriminalised. Defamation should be a purely civil matter. Most of the major countries of the world no longer have criminal defamation, they have civil defamation.

The big issue with having criminal defamation is that it is now being used by people in 'high places' to intimidate, harass abd subjugate less fortunate people.

Examples are ERISCO and Chioma, Burna Boy and speed Darlington, Afe Babaloa and Dele Farotimi

In these cases, the complainant will write petition, claiming someone made a false presentation. Before you know it, the accused will be arrested, wisked away to another part of the country, clamped in detention for weeks or even months, even before they are charged to court.

The police should not be part of 'he said-she said', arresting people and clamping them in detention over what they said.

If you feel someone has defamed you, sue them to court and claim damages, it should not be a Police matter, nor a criminal matter

Nigeria politicians would never do that because it gives them the opportunity to oppress and use their stolen money to show power along with an utterly corrupt police.

Sirchiboy:
Please can 500k start this business in PH

Gadgets like electrical or electronics or phone etc.
