I know he has a mental health problems..you will definitely know from the look of things. The guy needs urgent rehabilitation.

Nikrose:
, somebody will help you knack your own

Godforbid..I only helped a dying soul.. it's not my fault but her. I wanted to run like Joseph against Portifa's wife but she was too powerful for me.

I also remember a pregnant woman who loves knacking and her husband was not around..omo I was doing the knacking 247 like tomorrow no dey!!!!!!

Lol..I remember a pregnant woman who lives next door to me. I was cooking she requested I give her the burnt part of the rice that is all she wanted. i laughed and after cooking I took the brunt part to her as she requested. She was so happy and thanked me for it.

As usual... become a governor and retire as a senator. We are jokers in this country!!! Real jokers. God should help me relocate before this useless country collapses.

Abortion or no Abortion is soely the right of a woman and she has the right to do whatever that pleases her to the unborn child.

Lightorder:
and also pull successful people down

Exactly!!! The worst you can do to yourself is to engage in constructive argument without someone who is not knowledgeable. It's a task and you have to school the Ignorance and end up getting confused. I advice you don't waste your precious time on them biko...

thundafire:
don't u read the already have plans to stop buying gas from Russia by year ending and also will start using their reserves while the pipeline from Norway will compliment it

Are you talking to people who hardly read and research? You want to have brain block. They only thing they are good at is fucking and procreation.

Violence begets violence...A child who says his parents no go sleep be ready to be awake. For long you guys have had your way. You refused to call your men to order. You constantly defend your men even when it is glaring they are terrible and now it's your turn to have a taste of your own Medicine, you are complaining.

MARKone:
Na that guy be the originator of all this problem in the East, I watched a video clip of him requesting for Guns and bullets during one of the Igbo summits in the US, even when he was told by discerning voices there that his planned action is a treasonable offence and will backfire on innocent Igbos down East. He armed untrained, reckless youths with assault Rifles, all in the name of a security network, successfully poisoned the mind his followers against the Northerners, I'm surprised those ones are still calm. They'll tell you that ESN is in the bush, as if they are in the Bush with them. To give monkey water no be problem, problem comes when you want to take back your cup.

If that was not done, by now the southeast would be like Jos and Benue where their citizens are killed like chickens. Most times, violence begets violence and the best way to defend is to attack. The government was warned against the dangers of open grazing but they did nothing and resulted in having a grazing route. The world has moved on and, if you look closely at the genesis of this whole thing, it started with the creation of Amotekun in the south west and south east was already boiling, we can't wait and watch our people die. The government have not done anything to see people are saved from banditory and kidnapping. Nobody has a monopoly of violence and you have to do all it takes to guide your region.

Zorn:
So it's now act of war when criminals from South steal from Fulanis , but it's just banditry or farmers herders crisis when Fulani kidnap or attack communities in the south? I'm not supporting any form of criminality but Fulanis has been kidnapping people and no body called for war . Seriously I don't know if this is just pure hate for a certain group of people or just stupidity from you.

It is stupidity ooooooooooo.. they think they have monopoly of violence ni ooooooooooo.

Pantami this is Gombe....This is your State. Find something meaningful and do to the life of these guys than the nonsense you are doing. Build a nation than build religious centers.

d bbn organizes are being very partial
they always favour any controversial character
because controversy generates income for them
am not a teddy a fan or bbn naija fan
but I have observed and also noticed that
bbn organizers a very partial in terms of vote
after all d hate ppl have for cee c she always come on top same with tboss last year
if they (bbn) were to be neutral that nasty girl with no manners would have gone home since

Keep quiet this nairaland mumu. You think Ceec no get fans. Ceec Fans can cover your entire church in the whole world.

This is a big lesson that we all should learn. Don't look down on anyone or think that you can say rubbish to people. How can Tedy A say so people actually like Nina and Ceec more than BamBam without knowing he will be going home in less than 24hours. Well it's a huge shock to him and his fans.

The whole truth is people like Ceec for her Drama and not living a fake life.

Miracle Fans voted for Nina to keep her company of Mina alive. Plus Bobrisky and others are voting massively for Nina. So tedy A will learn his lesson by force to learn to keep quiet like Rico and face his business.

Why wait for so long. Now that you guys are old aged and soon getting to your grave what's the guarantee that these your babies will be grown up and you guys are still healthy and well to give them support? If they add add 20 to their lives 20+56 =77yrs. You.guys are already grandparents.

Instead them to adopt since their early 30s since they knew nothing was coming out from their sex life. And they could have adopted babies earlier enough. Now them are already grandparents to their children.. What a waste of IVF. That's why in US once a woman has gotten up to 35-40 years they prevent them from doing IVF because they know the consequences of it. Either they get Down syndrome babies, multiple pregnancies or they babies might lack parental care latter in life.

My point is couples who have tried to have children and it's not fourth coming should kindly go and do IVF early enough or Adopt on time. Than waiting for many years or decades before they realise they need children. It's sad seeing a mother of 60 and father of 70 having a child when they are getting towards their grave.

Pls nobody should quote me or talk about Sarah and Abraham because those days people lived more than expected number of years.

I don't think I want to hastily join you and so many other Nigerians in congratulating any of the parties involved in the release of the girls. Reason? I smell a big rat.
I suspect the abduction was arranged by the federal government in a bid to sell PMB as being more proactive than GEJ, and to give him some bit of credibility in his second term bid.
I am beginning to believe Fani Kayode and Fayose , who have held the stance that Chibok girls were never kidnapped. I am beginning to believe that these kidnappings are ventriloquist creations of Northern political elites to court sentiments to perpetuate their region in power.
They used Chibok girls to discredit GEJ in the build up to the 2015 general elections. Now, with PMB lacking credibility in the area of security, they arranged the kidnap and release of Dapchi girls for PMB's glory.
In a matter of a few days from now PMB will declare his intention to run for a second term-- something he had refused to do earlier because his popularity was in the red.
Is it not thesame Boko Haram that's holding Chibok girls? Why not secure the release of them all, if it is this easy?
Evidently, Northerners are not as foolish as the people down South perceive them to be.

Certain Truths Homosexuals should know and understand
about Homophobes.
Lately, i have tumbled across a variety of letters and articles
written by homosexuals and addressed to homophobes,
some of them have even been published here on TMIN.
Most of these letters are tinged with bitterness, indignation
and hate which is quite understandable, considering the
socio-political environs most of these gays flourish in, but
some of these letters are - quite frankly- highly subjective
and generalizing, it is n news that homosexuals are a
minority in this part of the world and it is also no news that
they run amok on social media platforms but live relatively
obscure and jaded lives in reality, it is however unflattering
that they think homophobes are really what they make them
out to be, so in a bid to correct some unpopular and
unsavoury impressions, i coined a list off the impressions
homosexuals have of homophobes which are at the very
least, bogus and i will try as much as possible to "clear the
air" so to speak, on the increasingly misunderstood sexual
majority in Our country.
1. "Homophobia" is not an insult or a degenerating term, i
do not understand why gays assume the use of the word in
itself is scathing and corrective and may make a lot of
straight people reconsider their stance, its just like a racist
expecting a black man to be apologetic simply because he
was called "Black" or a black man expecting a racist to
recoil at the term "Racist".
"Homophobia" as a term is the fear or hate for homosexuals
and that in no way qualifies as a derogatory term, we have
Xenophobia, Claustrophobia, Hydrophobia, Necrophobia, etc
and a host of others, a hate or fear of something or
someone is simply a term, an adjective used in describing a
person or an emotion, it is not an insult, besides, it is quite
Incongruous that homosexuals think that everybody would
accept them with the way they go about spewing the words
"Homophobic" "Homophobe" "Homophobia" when they
chance upon a disconcerted fellow who is confused as to
the sanity behind the practise of homosexuality.
2. Yes, it is quite possible to hate the act of homosexuality
but love the homosexual as a person. Infact, this is the
prevailing dilemma surrounding most homophobes today,
they are stuck between loving a gay's talent, personality,
character and carriage and hating the fact that he is gay -
and please, before you come on here to say that is
unrealistic, a lot of parents/people detest their child's/
sibling's sexual orientation but does that stop them from
being that dotting, loving parents? a capital NO. Will Smith,
Lawrence Fishburne, Jenna Jameson, Billy Ray Cyrus, etc
are just a few of the celebrities who have "queer" children
and have time to time again reinstated how they are
uncomfortable with their children's way of life but still would
give them their unwavering support should they ever decide
to come open. So, before you are quick to accuse a person
of being a bigot, be sure what he is really bigoted about.
3. Being a homosexual does not/can not/ will not make you
smarter and being a homophobe or a straight person does
not in any proven way reduce your intelligence.
A dumb person is a dumb person, a smart person is a smart
person.
How do i explain this? Most homosexuals are quick to label
any homophobe as "Dumb" simply because they do not
accept their orientation and try not to disguise their disgust,
as unreasonable and stupid as this line of reasoning is,it is
quite the opposite, the thought that a human can reduce
another human's IQ or gauge his intelligence by his views on
sexuality is bereft of wisdom and quite idiotic, if i must
remind you, the current president of the United States and
one of America's richest men is an homophobe but you are
smarter, yes, i know! yet you are here with me patronizing
Airtel's free facebook. Qatar, Dubai,UAE and many other
middle east nations are unapologetically homophobic, infact
they have laws restricting the freedom of gays and
sometimes, the penalties are stiff, yet these are cities and
countries advancing far into the future in terms of
innovations and technology, maybe, dumbness is the new
cool.i dont know.
Homosexuals attack the grammar and syntactic proficiency
of any write up by a homophobe and i begin to wonder, does
being an homosexual automatically entitle you to an extra
pair of hyper-active brains or are these people just being
plain importunate?
4. Homophobia will never go away.
Yes! the earlier you gays understand this, the better. Laws
may be enacted to protect the freedom and rights of gays
but the hatred would still pervade, seething,more poisonous
than ever, besides how many laws ever held water in this
lopsided country. Even in first world countries, homophobia
has proven to be indissoluble, everyday we hear and see
instances of people verbally attacked for airing their
homophobic views, even in countries like the USA, Imagine
how long it would take Nigeria to even consider passing a
law in favour of gays.
5. Consider the fact that you are in a mentally repressed
country and society, when you grasp hold of that fact, you
may find yourself becoming less and less bitter.
How do you feel coming on social media and slandering
opposition with the ineradicable tendency of a freedom
fighter but in your neighbourhood, you are scared to open
your mouth and defend or proclaim your sexuality? do you
feel fulfilled or you feel like a lie?
Such cowardice is ineffable, majority of Nigerians dotting
the streets arent even on facebook, so your rantings may
actually be falling on deaf ears. This is a country that
passed a law against homosexuality and you people think it
is a battle to be won on facebook?? Ever wonder why most
straights and homophobes hardly ever engage your lots in
debates anymore? its simple, they have discovered most of
you are pussilanimous sissies, scared stiff of an actual real
life word tussle, you spew so much complexities and
compound bitterness making it inimical for objective
reasoning to take place, some of you even call names and
yet when you are seen in real life, you are either timid, self
absorbed, shy, effeminate, sullen, quiet, repressed,
depressed secluded or all of them jammed into one pathetic
revolting mix of a human.
My point? WORK the TALK
Facebook can only take you so far and in a country like ours
"Far" may not even be far enough.
6. Some Homosexuals wish Homophobes would ignore
them and mind their business.
Ok, let me be candid with you...
It is IMPOSSIBLE for a homophobe to see 2 men or 2
women kissing and "mind his business"
It is IMPOSSIBLE for a homophobe to witness a wedding
between two same sex couples and say nothing about it.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for a homophobe to see an effeminate
man and just look away.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for a homophobe to see a man who cross
dresses or a woman who cross dresses and try to act
normal, in some cases, they make their displeasure very
evident.
In otherwords, homophobes are attuned to the natural order
of things or how they have be brought up and conditioned by
prevailing societal norms, it would be silly, inconsiderate and
highly imbrogious for you to demand they “mind their
business” when they see a man putting on a G-string.
The problem with homosexuals is their highly unrealistic
presumptions and sense of entitlement.
And you claim to have sense.
7. Homophobes are not closet homosexuals living in denial.
Who came up with that misleading assertion anyway? Is
that a ruse to explain the distaste of homophobes towards
homosexuals? Or a sort of consolation for straight
homophobes you cannot seduce?
I won’t waste much Ink enunciating on such ludicrous
stance but I will ask one question though.
Since we all hate pedophiles, does that mean we are all
closet pedophiles living in denial?

What's the guarantee that both Pastor Adeboye and you that is preaching will make heaven.Nonsense set of human beings. Religion is a disease. Other country are busy doing great here we are preaching one useless gospel that will take us to no where. What a waste of time.

Fools are busy listening to this man in the useless pulpit while Dangote is busy making millions of Naira every hours that counts. Soon he willnopen refinery that will service both you and your useless pastor.

No Sir u got it wrong, the health sector needs a constructive reform or is it overhaul no doubt but u can't say until it's done, if ever it will, victims of gunshots be allowed to die. Haba Uncle Doctor, is that consistent with d Hippocratic Oath?

This is a laudable step by d government and should be commended by all rational persons, then, we can take up d next challenge. Thats d reasonable way to go.

You don't understand. Those who have seen their love ones die will definitely tell you have bad our health sector is. I have a lot of problem to handle with my money. If I can only help in a situation of shock. Then I will do my best but Bro. The government needs to provide a fund for this emergency. I know how much we keep on donating in the hospital for our dying patients but my dear a times one has to close his eyes and allow nature take it's course.

2018- OUR HOPE IN DEEDS, PROPHECIES OR CONSERVATISM？

Nowadays, virtually everone is a prophet, you do not have to be so spiritually grinded or own a church before you can tell the future. Especially for those who understand the system quite well, all you need are the obtainable facts in the environs, connected with history, you would predict scenarios and tell fortunes or its reverse. Possessing a church would have just been a faster way to money rituals, just as it is in virtually all the nowadays churches. The preaching for you to pay offerings and sew seeds is more than that of evangelism that Christ even commanded. The scientific predictions of marx, lenin, trotsky, luxemburg and many others, centuries ago, are very much evident around us today. They were not religious prophets, rather, social scientists. Without controversies, their scientific predictions are very much valid than those of our General Overseers. Some of who would prophesy by 31st December, only for us to begin to see the reverse and happenings different from their prophecies, as early as by January 1st, and you begin to wonder what went wrong with the validity of their spiritual endowment. We still remember some who saw vision of a prosperouos first half of 2016, and others who even said it was H. Clinton that would win U.S elections. The introduction of another fuel subsidy removal by Buhari government in the early first half of the 2016 did not only wreck lots of Nigerians,especially in the face of little or no payment of salaries, but, the year 2016 was a financial calamity throughout the year for mass of Nigerians, including the pastors themselves, by what the government tagged recession. My pastor was one who later confessed how the economy batterred his family. I smiled because himself had earlier prophesied a prosperous year.

What is hard for the religious leaders and followers to understand is that, what drives the affairs of any society or country, to include the fortune and misfortune of her citizens is far from any spiritual prophecy, hope and illusions. The economic realities determine those things, they even determine the so called religious participations. And by economic realities , we mean the activities of people aimed at sustenance and comfort, the level of such sustenance and comfort. The validity of the economic realities determining religious participation was seen on the sunday that preceded XMAS, how very large mass of christians had to sacrifice church service to queue endlessly at filling stations for PMS. With such an instance, one would undoubtedly agree to Karl Marx's position, that religion would wither away by itself with time and by the social reality which continually make people realize that solution to economic frustrations does not lie in the churches and mosques, but in the deeds of mankind to solve them. Quite funny, our churches prophesy virtually the same lines at every cross over nights, only for the same people to come back in the next year and hear the same lines, without their conditions changed for the better, even sometimes worsened. If, perhaps, better or worse, it must have been how well the people have garnered themselves within the biting economy, and not by the prophesies. The unreliability of prophesies would have even been confirmed by those whose conditions were worsened by the economic situation in the latter year, despite the G.Os' speeches in tongues.

I am a CHRISTIAN and I am also serving the living GOD. But, who and what determine the people's comfort in 2018 and the years beyond？To some, it is by begging and praying to government to make good policies, to some, it is by praying to God and hoping on prophecies for their success, to some, it is by waiting to vote out APC or BUHARI in 2019 to have a better Nigeria, while to others it is by organizing to struggle against the neoliberal policies. As much as the former strategies would resort into mere good wishes that may never materialise into realities of the expected prosperity, but the latter would guarantee all others.

The 2017 pointed attentions to serious crises in the future, in fact it was a prelude to more economically violent years ahead. With such level at which the cost of living has been falling the living standard of average Nigerian to slump dwellers, the ruling class is still doing everything possible to maintain their loots and raise more loots to keep up with their luxurious greeds. In achieving this, we can only expect more marginalizations and extortions in all establishments controlled by the elite class, more unpaid salaries and allowances, more underfunding and corruption in the education sector, increased poverty and crime rate, all of which would force Nigerians to anything devoid of morals to survive. Consequentially, for those who will be ready to resist beyond morals, 2018 is a year of heated struggles and agitations, be prepared！ Many institutions are likely to begin fee increment policies, arguing out their position that it would no longer be rational to maintain the current fees based on the condition of the economy. The expected incessant increment in fees across tertiary institutions and victimizations that will follow will break out serious struggles of resistance too.

Rosa Luxemburg was correct when she said it is either socialism or barbarism. The international war and weapon threats against one country and the other is an instance, that without the people taking democratic charge over the economy and organizing a fight back against the elite policies of profit over the poor majority, the result would be lawlessness, bombings, burglary, and lots of more barbaric happenings. Or what can we say of the Nigerian federal government that is planning to expend billion of dollars on fighting insurgency, when people are owed backlogs of salaries, no local production or infrastructural development and cannot fund education that can engage people's minds from terrorism.

Sooner than later, the FGN might have to budget all its budget on fighting all Nigerians, because with the headless way they are piloting the country affairs, insurgency for survival would be rising from every street and every corner of this country. We shall overcome.Happy New Year!

But, who and what determine the people's comfort in 2018 and the years beyond？To some, it is by begging and praying to government to make good policies, to some, it is by praying to God and hoping on prophecies for their success, to some, it is by waiting to vote out APC or BUHARI in 2019 to have a better Nigeria, while to others it is by organizing to struggle against the neoliberal policies. As much as the former strategies would resort into mere good wishes that may never materialise into realities of the expected prosperity, but the latter would guarantee all others.

The 2017 pointed attentions to serious crises in the future, in fact it was a prelude to more economically violent years ahead. With such level at which the cost of living has been falling the living standard of average Nigerian to slump dwellers, the ruling class is still doing everything possible to maintain their loots and raise more loots to keep up with their luxurious greeds. In achieving this, we can only expect more marginalizations and extortions in all establishments controlled by the elite class, more unpaid salaries and allowances, more underfunding and corruption in the education sector, increased poverty and crime rate, all of which would force Nigerians to anything devoid of morals to survive. Consequentially, for those who will be ready to resist beyond morals, 2018 is a year of heated struggles and agitations, be prepared！ Many institutions are likely to begin fee increment policies, arguing out their position that it would no longer be rational to maintain the current fees based on the condition of the economy. The expected incessant increment in fees across tertiary institutions and victimizations that will follow will break out serious struggles of resistance too.

Rosa Luxemburg was correct when she said it is either socialism or barbarism. The international war and weapon threats against one country and the other is an instance, that without the people taking democratic charge over the economy and organizing a fight back against the elite policies of profit over the poor majority, the result would be lawlessness, bombings, burglary, and lots of more barbaric happenings. Or what can we say of the Nigerian federal government that is planning to expend billion of dollars on fighting insurgency, when people are owed backlogs of salaries, no local production or infrastructural development and cannot fund education that can engage people's minds from terrorism.

Sooner than later, the FGN might have to budget all its budget on fighting all Nigerians, because with the headless way they are piloting the country affairs, insurgency for survival would be rising from every street and every corner of this country. We shall overcome.Happy New Year!

The president should have made it simple.

Treat every individual gun shot wound, women in a Labour, little kid that broken his ankle playing street soccer, accidents victims.. Then ask for payment later.

It is a shame that as a country as Nigeria is, an accident victim will be brought to the hospital and hospital will have the guts to ask for deposit and to purchase card for emergency while the patient is dying.

Also while they are at it, they should revolutionize the health sector. No more one flat and one room hospitals. Those shouldn't even qualify as a clinic talk more of a hospital

You made a good point but whose money will.they use to buy all the materials needed for treatment. It's like saying go and eat without having any money on you.
