Reports filtering in from Borno state have it that two suicide bombers (Male and female) of approximate age 13 to 14 years invaded a mosque around Bama Dina area of Shehuri /Mairi/ Hausari ward of Bama town at about 5:15am this morning and detonated IEDs when people are in the middle of prayers.

So many causalities were recorded as the victims were evacuated to military hospital for further treatments..

Bama Local Government is the most affected by the destruction of insurgency and has up to 120,000 IDPs, the highest in the state.

As far as it is borno state....
whether Christian or muslim....no problem...

Olusharp:
Back then as children, many people had the opportunity of being woken up by parents or guardians.

Some people got use to it that it became a part and parcel of them as adult, they expect someone to wake them up while at sleep.

This has also made some people get used to the act of getting late to any event or place.

Getting late to an event has become an habit to a number of people.

In Africa for example, there is something called ‘African Time.’

African Time means you don’t have to necessarily arrive at an event or place at the specified time.

Why?

Because there is always a general belief that the event wouldn’t start at the actual time stated.

In most cases in Africa, this is always true.

However, there are some events or places one should not make use of African time.

They include the following,

1. An Interview. They say first impression matters.

As a job seeker or applicants getting to a place for interview late or at an African time will not speak well to the employer.

2. Business meeting. Punctuality is the sole of business.

So arriving late for a business meeting when other business partners are seated shows such person is not a serious type.

3. Court of Law.

This is another place one must never arrive late especially if you are among the parties awaiting judgement.


Arriving late at the court of law could mean the earlier case could be postponed to a later date.

4. The class of a tough lecturer. Many students will agree to this fact.

There are some lecturers in tertiary institutions you daren’t enter their class when they are in.

5. Religion Houses. Though many people don’t take this serious.

As they have arrive at religious houses anytime that pleases them.

Another is on a wedding day, if one of the groom or the bride arrive late on their wedding ,a lot of fears would have arise prior to their arrival.

It is your wedding day nor a ‘shocking’ day.

Always remember to keep to time!

Here's a piece by Pastor Poju Oyemade on cultural dimension that may be destroying Christianity in Africa.

Why what God has placed in the heart of the younger generation is necessary.

This probably is my most sensitive and delicate write up so far, I have thought about this for years. There is a cultural issue in this nation that may be detrimental to real progress in advancing the kingdom of God.

I will start by telling the story of a conversation that was found in the black box of a plane that had crashed killing all passengers and crew members on a commercial flight in South Korea. On examining the black box to find out the reason for the crash they discovered the last-minute conversation between the pilot and the co-pilot which showed that the co-pilot actually knew what the problem was as the senior pilot struggled with the plane but he didn’t voice it out until it was too late and the plane eventually crashed.

This finding led them to believe that the cultural upbringing of the co-pilot which was a Korean thing which is to defer to one who is more elderly even when you know what is right had caused the crash. The co-pilot even though he knew what the problem was kept quiet out of respect and that cost over a hundred people the lives. It could simply have been averted if he spoke up telling the senior pilot his opinion.

This cultural mindset is prevalent in Africa and this leads the younger generation to remain silent on issues they know in their heart but refuse to speak up in deference to the older. In many cases when the younger ones eventually speak, it is with anger and bitterness, a voice that reveals a feeling of being oppressed for too long and that disrespectful voice lands them on the other side of extremity making them ineffective.

Elihu had this problem with Job’s friends as they counseled him. He listened for a while, refused to speak up because of this cultural issue until he realized he was going to jeopardize his position in God and God was going to look elsewhere for a man with the courage to voice the revelation within him.

Listen to his words in Job 32:6-10 (KJV)

“And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid and durst not shew you mine opinion. I said Days should speak, and the multitude of years should teach wisdom.But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding……….therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.”

He later spoke about the consequence of keeping quiet in
Job 32:17-22 saying His Maker will take him out. Elihu actually meant death for in silence you have denied your purpose on the earth.

“I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.”

God places His revelation in two generations in different ways and it is when those two generations “see each other” for as in water face answereth unto face so does the heart of a man answereth to the other.

Proverbs 27:19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

For there to be a trans-generational blessing not only must the heart of the children turn to their fathers the heart of the fathers must turn towards their children.

Malachi 4:6 “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”

God places something unique in each generation and it will take the linking of hands for real progress to be made. The old men will dream dreams and the younger will see visions. This type of relationship will have no iota of disrespect for the elderly but it is just the way God has established it.

As a child grows he or she begins to acquire knowledge beyond what he learned at home and after something can contribute to a conversation and advance the opinion in a family. To keep silent when you know better is disservice even to the elderly.

You make them take positions that may be totally out of tune with what is really going on because you whom God placed around them to give balance was silent and kept feeding the tendency in them that the younger generation know nothing and even after 20 years are still listeners with no voice nor contribution.

Voicing out your opinion should not be done in a disrespectful way and shouldn’t be done in an attack mode but as a regular practice so that it becomes part of the culture.

Giving voice to your revelation doesn’t always have to be in speech but more in action. It is in pursuing the path God has laid down for you that may be slightly different from the approach of the previous generation but you are doing it not out of rebellion but honoring the truth within.

This opinion doesn’t have to be at variance but contributing to the development of a thought, refining what went before. If you are always at variance then you are operating in the flesh.

The way God has designed it is as a generation gets old the younger generation should take them by the hand and drive the agenda. The younger once relied on their insights then the time comes for the older not to be discarded nor shamed but to be held by the hand and shown by the younger the next positioning and glean from their wisdom as the younger drive the agenda.

John 21:18 (KJV)
“18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.”

It is when the younger do not understand that a change has occurred in the realm of the spirit and they should run with the baton that problems begin to break out. That generation as Elihu said becomes a wasted generation.

The younger generation must know that when you keep quiet and just tow the line because you don’t want to rock the boat you are doing a great disservice to the older generation.

The voice they need to create the balance is in you and you have shut them out of it. This silence is predominantly an African thing and not a biblical concept nor even something rooted in Judaism from where emerged Christianity. Most of the time it is in hypocrisy with a lot of back talks.

Hear what Paul said about mutual benefit.

Romans 1:11-12 (KJV)
“For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.”

yoruba and their ijebu weed


it should hv been how Christianity is destroying African culture

1StopRudeness:
What I don't understand about the adjeman is u don't want to answer to ur oga anymore...then leave...why re- register organization that's not ur own under ur name....
It shows that he was never there for soul winning just money that came with the church name....cos if he had a true calling from God and felt like being on his own he won't forcefully take another person's ministry name...how does he even sleep at night...
pple get mind mind oooo....

All these pple just make the gospel hard for unbeleivers to accept....what's all these drama in Christiandom that preach love....

At the end of the day....all na 6ft into the ground...money wey we no go carry go afterlife

none of them is there for soul winning....both oyedepo and adjeman...........is a full blown business.....

they can't make the Gospel hard as I hv known the truth and always advocate the truth which makes me a Christian.

Wagasigiungu:
Well thanks for sharing your thoughts but I believe the God I know you are referring to is an oft-forgiving God and The Most Merciful.

Please don't be so sure and certain in your assertions afterall you ain't the Mouth-piece of God and the Ways of the Lord can never be fathomed.

God Bless you and God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Can I hear you at least say Amen to this)

God forbid....

say Amen to an expired country.....u must be a joke

Wagasigiungu:
*When are we going to get things right in this country?* ��

We keep celebrating mediocrity. What prompted me to ask this question? I just read about Dano coy (obviously one of the sponsors of BBN) refurbishing the kitchen of one of the contestants mum and also giving her a grand price of 500k!!! To crown it all, the show which is scheduled to come to an end today promises to give the winner a whooping 45 million naira!!! Not to mention the other endorsement deals coming their way. Yes, you read right!!! Like seriously��. You also want to ask the million dollar question: for what exactly?

Did the contestants showcase any rare talent? Did they in any way motivate our youths, uphold and promote our socio-cultural heritage, Foster national unity, excel in any way that will add value to the Nigerian nation? The answer is an emphatic NO.

At a time:

* when the nation needs to be rescued from the abyss of perpetual under-development,

* when the nations citadel of learning are in dire need of research grants, and our nation has one of the highest number of out-of-school children

*when the teaming population of youths are battling with unemployment and underemployment,

*when our leaders are taking us for a ride by robbing us of our commonwealth in broad daylight,

* when our health care facilities are decayed and our beloved country has some of the worst health indices globally,

* when our youths are "labelled lazy" despite having to struggle and huzzle for themselves come rain come shine, in health and in sickness, right from their childhood,

* when we desperately need someone to wake us from the perpetual intellectual and revolutionary slumber we have been in, ginger us to ask questions and demand our leaders to deliver on the promised mandate and the dividends of democracy while focusing our collective energy and resources to develop our beloved nation,

* when corruption and nepotism is so pervasive in the country that it lives with us, sleeps in our beds, and dines with us,

All the youths can focus on is BBN and other mundane stuffs.

Quite pathetic.

I am waiting for some to come and speak in favour of the show and tell me (in all honesty and in the spirit of constructive discussions), how this show will add any value to us. Yes, I know, some of what I mentioned can be argued to be the responsibility of government. Let us however not forget that the govt can also direct the activities of the so-called corporate sponsors. I also know you most probably have heard about the concept of public private partnerships (PPP).

When was the last time you heard of a youth who invented a something or excelled academically get rewarded like this. What stops such an inventor from getting the necessary support from the private sector or the one who EXCEEDED academically from getting an all-expenses paid scholarship to further his/her education and contribute to the nation?

I am going to keep an open mind about this and not be dogmatic. I await someone to come forward with insightful arguments why we should promote this show and what advantages we stand to gain therefrom both individually and as a nation.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
To the Mods: This thread isn't an affront on the organizers/sponsors of BBNaija. This is to stimulate critical and rational thinking in our youths.

God Bless Us All

God Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria

by seeing God bless federal Republic of nigeria...here...everything u hv written is a trash and straight to dustbin....


God can't bless an adultrous nation( sodom and gomorrah)...and land of blood.....

Mr president watching how Nigeria was created after a hot sex between lugard and flora....nigeria was named

Drabeey:
* From the president calling youths 'lazy'

* When a certain president called our dear country 'shitthole'

* someone (a lecturer) even wept publicly for Nigeria

*After he failed us himself, an Ex-president wrote an 'epistle of woe' to another whom he endeared us to vote for

* To one Abroad university using the woeful state of our dear country as a case study.

* someone even said some hoodlums stole the maze at the upper chamber right in front of Ghanian senators (Those are people we sent packing with 'Ghana must go')

* Maybe most painful, someone even said a pastor rain curses on Nigerian if they fail to pay up their tithes ( where is the money) .


As an average Nigerian, im fed up with this country, yet someone said we should pick our PVC's, wait oooo, the one we picked 2015, what has it gotten us?

if we even pick it up again and vote, who are we going to vote? their is not a single newbee who could be raised above the rank!

one word: (the country is a) HELL

Nigeria is a product of hot sex between lugard and flora....in one word....Adultrous shithole

Background: Bishop Adjeman a Ghanian was a protege of Oyedepo in Kaduna and was ordained as bishop by same Oyedepo and then transferred to head Winners Chapel Ghana which consisted of 14 churches spread across Ghana, kingdom heritage schools and church house. Bishop Adjeman later re-registered the church in his own name, secede and the drama broke loose.




In 2004 Bishop Adjeman staged a takeover of the Ghanian branch of Winners Chapel after the Headquarters in Canaanland Ota, Nigeria attempted to transfer him to winners chapel Ibadan when he refused to continue remitting the $60,000.00 monthly church income that was erstwhile remitted to the Nigerian headquarter(Usually Money is remitted from all branches of the world to Nigeria then after, certain percentages would be returned to the branches while HQ keeps rest)

After bishop Adjeman revealed how much was transported to Nigeria every week, all hell was let loose in Ghana as the debate became a Nigeria vs Ghana debate. Some Ghanaians felt it was wrong for a church in Ghana to remit money to a church in Nigeria, therefore took sides with Bishop Adjeman. Others felt Adjeman was disloyal to his former boss in Nigeria and should leave the church using the right way and not taking over any of the church's properties, members or name.

The Ghanian branch of Winners Chapel Ghana was started in 1996 and already had 14 branches, Kingdom Heritage school(s) etc while Adjeman was transferred to Ghana in 2002. However Adjeman claimed that when he got back to Ghana he met the church badly run and therefore when Govt authorities in Ghana called for Churches to be registered as companies, Bishop Adjeman went ahead to re-register the church in his own name and excluded the names of all the Nigerian trustees without informing the Nigerian church of the new regulatory development nor asking for their assent

Bishop Adjeman Seeks Financial Independence From Winners Chapel Nigeria

The initial aim of Adjeman wasn't so clear at this stage. But what is sure is that Adjeman wanted at least financial independence from Nigeria at some point. The Ghanian church had kicked against the practice of money being "illegally" transferred to Nigeria. The Ghanian church claimed that Winners Chapel isn't a limited liability and should not transfer money to Nigeria only to later receive some percentages of it.

Winners Chapel Nigeria Transfers Adjeman To Ibadan

Following Adjeman's refusal to keep remitting money to Headquarters in Nigeria he was transferred to Ibadan, Oyo state.

Adjeman Rejects Ibadan Transfer

Bishop Adjeman rejected Ibadan transfer and notified church members that he was been transferred because of his refusal to remit money to Nigeria. Some members cheered Adjeman on and encouraged him to disregard the transfer.


Bishop Adjeman Sacked By Winners Chapel HQ in Nigeria


Once Adjeman had refused to honor his transfer to Ibadan, Adjeman was then sacked by the Nigerian Headquarters.

Ghana Pentecostal Fellowship Demands Adjeman should Vacate Church For Winners Chapel Nigeria

Following the attempt at secession the Ghanian Pentecostal Fellowship ordered Adjeman to vacate the Winners Chapel premises. The argument of GPF stemmed from the fact that Winners Chapel Ghana was built with seed funding from the Nigerian church therefore it should be returned to the mother church in Nigerian.

Oyedepo's Faction Of Winners Chapel Intl Sues Adjeman's Winners Chapel Ghana To Court

While attempts where being made to resolve the crisis of ownership, two factions where quickly created. The Oyedepo faction(now referred to as Winners Chapel Intl, Ghana) and the Adjeman's faction referred to as Winners Chapel Ghana. The both factions where unaware that the battle they had just began was going to last for the next 14 years in the Ghanian judicial system.


Oyedepo's Faction(WCI) Starts All Over Again

Once the Adjeman faction had retained the church premises in 2004 the Oyedepo faction secured another space not too far away where they began worshipping as they began tussle with winners chapel Ghana led by Adjeman.( It is important to note that there was never a direct lawsuit between Winners Chapel Nigeria and Adjeman's faction of Winners Chapel Ghana)

As the Crisis metarmophosed the GPF equally admonished Oyedepo to settle Adjeman so he can go and start his own ministry. Oyedepo initially disagreed querying if that wouldn't be tantamount to a bribe. The GPF however encouraged him to see it as a way of setting up a Son.



Adjeman Makes A Request Of $50,000, A House and Car As Conditions For Handing Over the Church

To settle the problem, Adjeman made a demand that he be paid $50,000 as severance, along with the church mission house and a car. Oyedepo vehemently opposed this but he was persuaded to see Adjeman as a son and not a rebel and that he should see the money given to Adjeman as a parting gift to a son. Bishop Oyedepo, after due consultation with his church elders, was said to have agreed to approve $100,000 but without a car and a house. This didn’t go down well with Adjeman and he decided to take over the church for himself.


Adjeman Visits Oyedepo in 2010 "To Return Church Properties"

Seemingly feeling remorseful, Adjeman visited Oyedepo in 2010 against the wishes of his lawyers. There, Oyedepo reportedly agreed to let Adjeman have all the properties but should drip the "winners chapel" tag from his church name which was the root of the contention. Adjeman agreed to drop the name and even church propertiea. But Adjeman changed his mind as he got back to Ghana.



Ghanian Court Delivers Judgment in 2017 In Favor Of Adjeman

13 years after in 2017 the Ghanian court dismissed the lawsuit by Winners Chapel Intl(Oyedepo's faction). According to the court, winners chapel Ghana is a registered and recognized church in Ghana as it was duly registered by Adjeman and therefore won the case. However properties acquired between 1996 and 2002 must be valued and half returned in cash value to Oyedepo's faction. However judgment was not giving as regards the name of the church.

Winners Chapel Intl Today And Winners Chapel Ghana

The Oyedepo faction(WCI) started again in 2004 after the unfortunate split. It now has a network of 150 churches in Ghana and is about getting its own university. However winners chapel Ghana led by Adjeman has plunged from 14,000 members as at the time of secession to 1,000 members.

The day of secession as told by a Ghanian in church.

According to Paul Agbai

"A lot had been going on prior to the coup de tat that day, a Wednesday... In April 2004. Prior to that day, the Pastors from winners chapel Ghana had gone to Lagos for annual pastors retreat of which George Adjeman himself was supposed to go but he didn't and rather handpicked those pastors loyal to him to go. News had gone round before the arrival of the Pastors that those who went to Lagos were made to sign some undertaken against their will, but no one could ascertain this claim. I came to church that night, driving towards the church, behind one Pastor Richard Appiah, who was next to Bishop Adjeman in seniority, himself just coming from the Lagos trip and was heading to Church that night.

Just by the gate of the church, the head of Crowd Control Unit, CCU, stopped him and said "Oga" has said that all the pastors who went to Lagos should not be allowed in. This pastor Richard Appiah gave a note to the brother to go and give the Bishop that he, Richard, had come but Bishop Adjeman sent a message back that he should meet him in the house by 9pm. I was in my car, just behind Pastor Richard as all these unfolded, I was wondering and a bit confused because of all the preceding tension buildups. Well, Richard's wife got down from the car and trekked in to take her sit with the choir I was leading then. I reversed my car abit for Richard to pull back before I could enter the church in my car.

Towards the end of the service, Bishop Adjeman stood up with a script in his hand and started....."when a child in the womb delays in coming out, a surgical operation is needed, we are about doing a surgical operation." Along the lines of the script, was these statements that shocked me to my bones and marrows till date. Bishop Adjeman said that "all the pastors that went to Lagos had been held and detained against their wills and he doesn't know where they are and that the church should rise up so that we pray for their release from those holding them in Nigeria.." I stood up with others...but instead of praying..I was lost in wondering if this was a kind of home movies theatre or a church, I am in?.and congregation prayed like they were casting out demons in Africa...you know that scene....I was asking myself...is it not now that this man asked the pastors to meet him at a place for meeting at 9pm...but unsuspecting souls were led astray to make it look like its a fight between Ghana and Nigeria... 13 years down the line...no sense of remorse... Not even after he later called Bishop Oyedepo that he wanted to come to see him for restitution and he was granted audience. In that meeting captured on Video, he told Bishop Oyedepo that he was ready to let go and Bishop told him he should just drop the name that is creating confusion and go with the properties to start his own life assembly church he jettisoned. Bishop Adjeman said, he won't only drop name of winners chapel he is using but would drop all properties too..(I will soon release that Video...stay tuned)...he returned to Ghana and changed his mind.........End of my eye witness account of that night of "surgical operations" to remove winners chapel, Ghana from winners chapel international... But truth is always truth and if hidden, how can it be known...hence my putting this here!

Eye witness account...

Well that's yorubas church affair...

in fairness...oyedepo founded the business....and is thee CEO...

adjeman should respect his employees...who raised the capital to start such venture....


despite there will be disagreements in business....due to money and remittances but the founder of such business corporation must hv his share...

Some masqueraders attacked the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry, Ukeh, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State on Friday night.

Sunday Punch gathered that the masqueraders allegedly invaded the worship ground in droves, beat up members and attempted to whisk away the Spiritual Director of the centre, Rev Fr. Emmanuel Obimma.
One person was feared dead in the attack while about 30 others sustained injuries.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Nkeiruka Nwode, confirmed the incident.
She said three suspects had been arrested in connection with the attack.

She, however, denied that the masqueraders attacked the police officers from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad who intervened.
Sunday Punch gathered that the masqueraders were celebrating the ‘Uzo Iyi festival.

A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “The leadership of the church called the SARS operatives to protect worshippers. On arrival, the operatives arrested three masqueraders who were involved in the extortion, but their colleagues attempted to stop them from taking the arrested masqueraders away, prompting SARS operatives to shoot into the air before taking them away.”

But a personal assistant to Obimma, Mr. Francis Okoye, told Sunday Punch that a Catholic Priest, Rev. Father Henry Nnajiofor, a seminarian and 28 others were injured during the attack on the worshippers.
He said, “When the SARS left, they regrouped and came in large numbers to the Adoration premises, beating everybody, including the elderly, the sick and pregnant women.
“Our youths, in defence, pursued them and arrested one masquerader who was handed over to the officials of the Nigerian Army that came to our rescue.”

President Muhammadu Buhari warmly felicitates with the Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Ibrahim Kolapo Sulu-Gambari on his 78th birthday, April 22, 2018.
President Buhari joins the indigenes of Kwara State, the historic Ilorin emirate and all associates of the Emir in celebrating the septuagenarian, whose reign on the throne has ushered in an era of peace, development and prosperity for his people.
The President commends the traditional ruler for his simple, disciplined and modern leadership style, which he has translated into remarkable developmental strides by promoting the values of good education, harmonious living, tolerance for divergence and the power of collective, progressive investments.
President Buhari re-affirms that the Emir of Ilorin, who is also the Chairman of the Kwara State Traditional Council, has contributed tremendously to the development of Nigeria, starting out early as a lawyer and later a jurist, and regularly providing wise counsels to leaders and serving the nation dutifully whenever he was called upon.
The President believes the Emir of Ilorin’s love for learning and advocacy for good education in the country will always stand him out, especially his experience of serving as Chancellor to several Nigerian universities.
President Buhari prays that the almighty God will grant the traditional ruler longer life, good health and wisdom to keep serving the country.

I am currently a 400L political science student with Abia state university, and for my project i am working on "the participation of Ndigbo in the Nigerian political system. Case study of 5 eastern states". Yesterday, I went to the ever busy city of Aba, Abia state to carry out a survey, with the help of two classmates who where interested in my research, and to our greatest Surprise we realised that of the first 100 adult we asked if they had a voters card only 12 Said they truly have a voters card. And when we asked another 100 adults, only 9 said they have a voters card. Making a total of 21 of 200 participants (10.5%). Our most shock came from the female gender, with only 2 of the 77 asked saying they have a voters card. My target is to get a sample of 5,000 participants for this research with 1,000 from each of the 5 eastern states.
I plan to go touch most cities, towns and villages in the 5 states in the process of carrying out this reasearch.
But initial findings is showing that the igbos are not under populated but rather are not willing participants in the Nigerian electoral system. And that a system has to be put in place to mandate the Igbo participation in the electoral process.
I honestly feel like i can conclude my reasearch with my initial findings, but for the sake of humanity and a God who is watching, i will carry out the full research of 5,000 participants.

To the Igbos at every oppurtunity, ask yourself, your friends and your community's if they have gotten their voters card.
One of my suggestions would be that the government should make it compulsory for all university students to have a voters card before they can be allowed to graduate. Given that admissions start at a minimum age of 16, it would be expected that all students are old enough to vote before they can graduate.

you did well.....but igbos are tired of the shithole called nigeria....


your project should have been.....Recommendations and procedures for the conduct of a successful referendum.......not this pvc or cvp u going about doing.....

a country where a set of people are been hostile to and not favourably disposed to harness their potentials should cease to exist...

At the end of all these his words were "I pity the younger ones you aren't helping your self at 24 you are still writing jamb at 24 you are still asking for pocket money from your parents sitting down in your father's 3 sitter and be watching music videos " he burst into tears after analyzing, he wept profusely in front of his students.

0monnak0da:
Any idiot "to whom it may concern" that raised the issue and masturbates on it

maybe u referring to throwback


coz am least concerned of any afonja issue...

0monnak0da:
We are not at war.
We were having a frank conversation

who cares....?

0monnak0da:
So what is your argument with me ? Can you reason at all ? have I disputed that there is no precedent. My question is are those precedents lawful or backed up by statute or law .What is so difficult to comprehend about that?
Again I asked you if there is a law can you share it.

Clearly you cannot so what is the point of you obnoxious obsession.

If precedence alone is enough why then is specific legislation about it being discussed just now at the national Assembly.
Indeed there is a Nairaland thread on that several weeks ago.
I have already made it clear that is not the main grouse I have with her but you obstinately choose to major in minors

Must you quote me.

can't you just pour out the disturbed contents of your mind without disturbing me

I did not express any concern about the veracity of your statement. Read and comprehend do not distort
I chose not to comment on it because it is irrelevant.
What applies in tthe Judiciary or Civil Service does not apply necessarily to elected office

lolzzzzzz

0monnak0da : and throwback.....yorubas at war....very OK by me

Throwback:
Dr Peter Odili's wife, Justice Mary Odili, moved up in the Judiciary, using her husband's SouthSouth region slot to get into the Court of Appeal, and her own SouthEast region slot to further get into the Supreme Court.

Such ability to alternate state/region of origin is advantageous to the beneficiary, while unfair to the peers who have to compete on a single origin.

love this...do odili sound like a yoruba name to u..

is Ibo name.......

Nigeria just need to divide......no more restructuring...

Throwback:
Which oil money is the SouthEast contributing to Nigeria?

Is it more than the contribution of Ondo in the SouthWest?

Must you always slavishly attach the SouthEast to the SouthSouth to feel proud of your own identity?

The painful truth u hv to bear is that u can't talk of se without ss....

these people where splitted by divide and rule...



have u asked why almost half of delta speaks ibo
have u asked why almost rivers are ibos....

hv u asked why they are at one side of the country.....

is ondo near akwaibom, calabar, rivers or delta state....even bayelsa....

these are same set of people in one area and as such need a common name and be separated from sw and north.....

coz se/ss have nothing in common with sw and north.

0monnak0da:
Senator Remi Tinubu is not an Indigene of Lagos State .Who knows where she is from?

She did not get there on merit but due to the overbearing influence of her husband.

She has contributed nothing memorable since joining the Senate other than the theatrical shouting match with Dino Melaye and self indulgent talk on Valentine's day about who is better dressed. She brought the failed attempt to grant Lagos special status without doing her homework and insulted other Nigerians by saying Abuja is spoilt instead of trying to use persuasion she showed her political inexperience while actng petulantly

Now she has come out to justify,rather arrogantly, the 15 million naira a month jumbo package. Clearly this overindulged woman is out of touch with the mood in the country and the misery that is the life of common Nigerians

wetin concern me concern remi tinubu or yoruba matter

u can kick her out....

who she epp or how is it my issue on nairaland...

see wahala....
