Well 2 wrongs can't make a right. The same Tinubu protested during Goodluck time on the same subsidy removal, it wasn't a crime. So I don't see NLC commiting any crime if they choose to strike. It's not a must u join them. If u are satisfy with the increase in fuel price happy for u. They are also fighting for them self. U can't increase fuel price, without a corresponding in wages. I don't think the Naira policy design was as worst as this one.

SportsZlatan Ibrahimovic Retires From Football Aged 41 by saintbillion(op): 6:20am On Jun 05, 2023
AC Milan legend, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced his retirement at the age of 41.

Ibrahimovic has spent the majority of the season injured, but made a trip to the San Siro to watch AC Milan's final Serie A game on Sunday, May 4.

However, after the game, the big Swede made his way onto the pitch to address the crowd.

The 41-year-old's AC Milan contract expires at the end of June and he had already announced he would not be renewing it following an injury-plagued season.

Speaking on the pitch at full-time, Ibrahimovic said: "I have so many memories and lived so many emotions in here, the first time I arrived here you gave me happiness. The second time love.

"I want to thank my family, everyone close to me, for their patience. I want to thank my second family, the players. I want to thank (AC Milan head coach Stefano) Pioli and his staff for the responsibility you have given me. I want to thank the managers for the opportunity.

"But most important of all: from my heart I want to thank you fans. You welcomed me with open arms, you made me feel at home. I will be a Milan fan for life. The time has come to say goodbye to football, but not to you. I have too many emotions that are passing through me. See you around, if you're lucky. Forza Milan and goodbye".

Ibrahimovic arrived in Milan for his second spell with the club in early 2020, having won the Scudetto with them in 2011, and helped them win the title again last season.

The striker started his professional career at Malmo FF in 1999 and left for Ajax Amsterdam in 2001 before embarking on a career that has included leading European teams including Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Milan.

Ibrahimovic, Sweden's all-time top scorer with 62 goals in 121 matches, quit the national team after Euro 2016 but returned in 2021 for their unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign.

He helped the Dutch giants to win the Eredivisie in his first campaign in Amsterdam before leaving for Juventus after four years. After Juve were relegated following a match-fixing scandal, the Swede joined Inter Milan, where he won three successive Serie A titles.

He then had a short-lived spell at Barcelona before returning to Italy on loan at AC Milan. That move was made permanent in 2011 and he duly fired in 35 goals in 44 appearances in the following campaign.

About 37 people have reportedly been killed and many others injured in attacks on three communities in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State over their alleged refusal to pay the ‘levies’ imposed by the terrorists.

Sources in one of the communities said the terrorists also dispersed sympathisers who came to perform burial rites for the deceased.

According to Daily Trust, the communities attacked are Raka, Raka Dutse, and Filin Gawa.

Witnesses told the publication that the bandits attacked the communities on Saturday evening, June 3, 2023.


The immediate past chairman of the area, Bashar Kalenjeni said 18 people were killed at Raka, 17 at Filin Gawa, and two at Raka Dutse.

“We wanted to bury them in the night, but the bandits came back and dispersed us. As at this morning, the deceased are still there unburied," Kalenjeni said.

According to him, the "offence" of the villagers was their refusal to pay levies imposed on their communities.

The bandits imposed levies on their communities, which was meant to take charge with immediate effect, and also dictating to residents on what to and not to do.

“But the villagers refused to succumb and because of that they attacked them, killing 37 persons while several others sustained various degrees of gunshot injuries and currently receiving treatment at General Hospital, Gwadabawa,” he said.

"There are others who are still unaccounted for. Right now, we are waiting for security operatives to lead us to the villages in order to bury the dead ones,” he added.

Travelled to another state recently, so today I decided to go to church. I woke up quite early, tooth my bath, dressed decently, and wore my perfume. Since as I'm new in this area I decided to take a walk, reading at signpost cause I was actually looking for my church. After some minutes of covering quite a far distance without achieving my aim, I decided to worship in any church apart from my own since na thesame God we all dey worship. Boom, I saw a fine lady well dressed, I could decipher she was going to church from her attire. So I decided to follow her closely without any intentions of wooing her, she finally get into a building which was actually a church. I then look at the church name from the sign board. Then head straight to the door of the church, as I was about entering I saw a notice which contains warning of indecent dressings. Of course I don't dress indecent said my mind, so I decide to take a close look at it again, saw pictures of guy in rugged jeans, ladies in mini skirts all mark X. Then another image caught my attention, it was a picture of a guy on dregs also Mark X. I touch my hair cause I do carry dregs and also barb my galaxy hair style. Na so I stylishly leave the premises to avoid further insult from the authorities while inside the church. I kuku ma run home.

Ur a religious fanatic, an Anglo and already brain wash with a dogma doctrine. No matter how hard I try to lead u to the side of righteousness, u won't follow. I asked u a simple question from the same chapter u quote. Show me where it is written that the Israelites bow down, touched, kissed and prayed to the remains of Joseph bones.

How many times did he do it?
I have asked you to define what worship is using your own good book but you seem having a hard with that.

Worship in it's entirety suggest you are in constant communication with something you place value on... Touching of the dead or visiting a suspected saint is something an opportuned catholic does religiously.

This also proves you do not understand your good book properly because of the strange language.. check throughout the old testemant, "fear" is used interchangeably with "worship".
Ecc
13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Deut 6:13
Fear the lord your god and only him shall you serve

Luke 4: 8
For it is written " you shall worship the lord your god and only him shall you serve.

The term "worship" is a mirror of other elements like obedience, service, fear, affection etc, and according to the context of the story.
You can fully appreciate this when you embrace your native language.


Who's talking about idolatry?
I was only interested in defining worship, which you denied doing earlier
Omo don't mind that dummy. He's trying hard justify his modern idol worshipping but misinterpreting the scriptures. My people perish because of lack of understanding. Joseph ask them to worship his bones or did he ask them to gather and pray to his bones? He simple ask them not to allow his bones in Egypt, cause he was aware that is not his land and God will take the Israelite out of Egypt. He wanted to go with them even in death. So made them swear they will take his bones and Bury it in shechem which was his fathers land.

I understand your misunderstanding.

Exodus 13:19
[19]And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
I don't know if you believe the bible or not but Moses intending to take a corpse along with him out of Egypt to the promise land is never considered idolatry by God. You know why? He never gave the worship due to God to the corpse. He only esteem the corpse as an ancestor. It's not different from from touching the dead in awe and praying as they're doing in the picture.
Yes, people can worship objects unknowingly by giving it the reverence and time that only God deserves but coming to conclusion that some people are idolaters for performing some rites that you don't believe in does not speak good.
Reverencing (worshipping ) your parents as special people does not translate to idolatry. You're only playing semantics!.
Ive read it, and i didn't see them worshipping the bones or praying to the bones. That's how u guys go around misinterpreting the scripture. Did moses carried Joseph bones with him so they can worship it or pray to the bones? Go and read Heb 11:22. It was Joseph wish that his bones must not remain in Egypt cause he knows Egypt is not his land. He made them swear to carry his bones along with them and Bury it at scheme, and not to worship it or pray to his bones or gather to adore it. But to bury it at shechem Moses knowing fully well that it won't be easy to carry a coffen in the wilderness instead, he choose to carry the bones cause it was lighter enough. Did they gather around to touch the bones? Did they gather around to worship it or pray to it? Try dey read scriptures with understanding or better still let the Holy ghost guide u. Stop trying to back ur doctrine with scriptures that doesn't match.

Ben Duamlong, a former coach of Nigeria under 20, and assistant coach for the Super Eagles during Korea /Japan 2022 World Cup has bagged a first class degree from the University of Jos.

The 70-year-old former coach was among the 20,532 students that graduated from the university in 2023. He enrolled in the degree programme out of his passion for education after his retirement as a football coach.

Duamlong, who studied painting at the University, made the list of 112 students who bagged first class.

Speaking to Daily Trust he said;

“What prompted me to go back to the university at this age is because of my passion for art. All my life, I have always drawn but never painted. I like painting. I can draw but I can’t paint. So, after retiring in 2014, as a footballer, I stayed home doing nothing. That is why I decided to go back to school.”

SportsKarim Benzema To Leave Real Madrid, Set To Join Old Team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo by saintbillion(op): 7:02pm On Jun 01, 2023
Karim Benzema will reportedly announce that he will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season today, June 1.

Gianluca Di Marzio have reported that the Frenchman will confirm the news in a press conference, bringing an end to his legendary 14-year stint at the Santiago Bernabeu.


It comes as the Frenchman looks set to join former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia following reports earlier this week that he had been offered a £345m two-year to join Al Ittihad.

Benzema will go down as one of the club's greatest players of all time, scoring 353 goals in 647 appearances and winning countless trophies - including the Champions League a record five times.

The report comes just hours after Paris Saint-Germain announced that Lionel Messi will play his last game for the club on Saturday June 3.

If reports are right and Benzema is given a £345m two-year deal, then the staggering deal would effectively match Cristiano Ronaldo's current £173m-per-year deal at Al-Nassr.

There's no historical documents that suggests that church fathers worship the dead!.

CrimeSchool Proprietor, Supervisors And Others Arrested By WAEC Over Malpractice by saintbillion(op): 4:40pm On Jun 01, 2023
56 rogue side operators and 15 other suspects comprising of students, a school proprietor and teachers have been arrested over their involvement in examination Malpractice in the ongoing 2023 May/June Senior Secondary Certificate Examination.

Head of National Office, Nigeria (HNO) of West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), Patrick Areghan, said the arrest was made in Maiduguri, Ibadan, Abeokuta and Umuahia. The suspects will be handed to police and will also be paraded at national televisions.


Areghan said;

“We are not interested in failing students but interested in seeing them pass but the only thing is we cannot help them to pass, we only encourage them by telling them what to and not to do. We are talking to them to make sure they don’t involve in examination malpractice.

“We have arrested students. In Ibadan, we arrested a supervisor, candidates and other groups. In Maiduguri, supervisors and candidates were arrested, while in Abeokuta a school proprietor who started it (examination malpractice) from the beginning of the examination was arrested along others. In Osogbo, a candidate and supervisor and so many others in Umuahia too who are involved in the illegal act were arrested.

“We have gone further by identifying and arresting the rogue operators involved in malpractice unlike last year.

“Do not copy what your mate is writing because there is nothing that will make you write the same thing. If you rely on cheating that means you have failed and we want you to pass.”

RomancePirates Of The Caribbean Star, Sergio Calderón Dies At 77 by saintbillion(op): 4:31pm On Jun 01, 2023
Legendary Mexican actor, Sergio Calderón has died at the age of 77.

The star, known for his work in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Men In Black - passed away in Los Angeles on Wednesday, May 31. His family revealed that Calderón died in hospital from natural causes.
The Mexican actor had a career spanning six decades and starred in more than 40 Hollywood films.



One of his best-known roles was as Captain Vallenueva, where he starred alongside Johnny Depp in the 2007 movie Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End.

He also famously played the 'head on a stick' held by an alien in the 1997 movie, Men in Black.

In an interview just days before his death, he admitted he ‘loves’ playing villainous characters.

He told The Los Angeles Times: 'I love to play those types of characters, because people really hate me.

'They tell me in the streets how much they hate me. But to me, that is my success. Because that means I was able to convince people with what I performed.'


Calderón was born in a small tropical village in Mexico and moved to Mexico City aged 10 where he developed a love of performing after taking part in a poetry reading.

He landed his first acting role in 1970, featuring in The Bridge in the Jungle, which was shot in Mexico.

Calderón moved to Los Angeles nine years later after getting his Screen Actors Guild card for his role in the comedy, The In-Laws.

52 members of the Biafra Zionist Front (BZF) led by Benjamin Onwuka, who were arrested in Enugu on May 30, while allegedly on their way to hoist the Biafra flag inside the Enugu Government House, have been remanded in Enugu Correctional facility.

The Pro-Biafra agitators had concluded a procession near the Okpara Square and were marching to the Government House when they were arrested.

They were arraigned at the Enugu Magistrate Court Wednesday, May 31, and remanded in prison alongside their leader Benjamin Onwuka.

This is reportedly the third time in recent years that the Ben Onwuka-led BZF had attempted to gain access to the Enugu House failing on each occasion. They had also in the past allegedly tried to seize the Enugu Broadcasting Service but were stopped by the police. One of their members was shot dead in the process.
