Moderators, pls I do not know if this is the right section, if not, pls kindly move to the right section.

It all happened this morning around Bodija-UI road. I was waiting for a cab at the bus stop, I was there waiting for more than 30 minutes with no cab forthcoming.

I finally stopped a cab going to my desination point. They were five in the cab with the driver, two males and 3 females. The driver asked me to come sit in front. I entered hoping that the lady beside me would shift and adjust herself; but she only shifted her back and asked me to enter. I sat but uncomfortably with my bag clenched in my hands. I looked at the driver and he told me to bring my back so as for me to sit properly. I refused, and he started the car with my legs still outside. The car was moving and he collected my bag. I couldn't see clearly cos my spectacle in the process fell off. But, I noticed he passed my bag to a lady at the back seat.

I shouted at the driver, trying to form Bruce lee, I asked him to give me back my bag, he said my bag is with me. This moment I could see my bag in my hands. Weird! Those guys were fast. He told me to drop, that VIO guys are in front. They they would stop for me in front so as to enter back.

I was about dropping, when I asked him to stop, I did sort of commanded him though. He stopped. I started searching my bag. I noticed the money inside my bag its all gone, with the phone Infinix Zero phone I just bought.

He already started the car, and was about moving, when I shakingly landed a blow on him. I asked him to give me my money and phone. They were all laughing. He said if I don't drop from his car, he will see to that I'm beaten to death. I was like 'WAOH'.

I refused knowing fully well that the money they stole isn't mine. I started shouting to get people's attention. People were moving towards us, when he rushingly pushed me out of the car. I wasn't wounded though, but I wasn't myself for two minutes.

I didn't stopped there, I took a bike to follow suit, but all was futile.

Nairalanders, please beware and be careful before entering a cab. Don't give your bag to anyone of asked to do so, and if uncomfortable drop from the cab.
They are many out there, please be careful and don't fall a victim.

I see a counter thread brewing

Alright

johnmartus:
I can't comment on this topic now am still under research

thats why you need to research more

This article was written by my school father (Taofeek Ajibola Lawal). Feel free to comment.

Most of the sayings of our fathers are not just philosophical; they are as well scientific. Our fathers do say whatever an elderly person would see while sitting, a younger folk may not be able to see even if he climbs to the top of a very tall tree. When the late Sage, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, was interviewed by the Press shortly after the criminal annulment of the freest election ever conducted in Nigeria, the Owelle of Onitsha had said: “This was not the Nigeria we fought for”. He then added that the unexampled arrogant display of power was going to do a terrible blow to the then fragile unity of the country. By June this year, it will be 22 years when those words of wisdom were uttered by one of those that were in the best position to utter them. Even those who were responsible for that mutiny against their fatherland needed no soothsayer to tell them that no pillar of unity could be stronger than the one they had selfishly demolished then.

An inventory of the number of lives as well as the number of private and public properties that were lost to the aftermath of that annulment would only remind one of the wound of heart which that event had brought to many Nigerians. It is mind-sickening. Many illustrious sons and daughters of the country, including the winner of that election himself, were wasted like good-for-nothing garbage stuffs. But, with each day passing, through a plus-one-minus-one mathematical equation, we all add one day to our days on earth and at the same time close the gap between us and our grave by one day. Those who kill and those who are killed will surely be assembled before their Lord one day; the day when wealth, power and position will be useless and meaningless. Quite painfully, some of the masterminds of the heinous crime against the nation have now assumed the status of elder statesmen, while some have, for long, been presiding over the same democratic structure they so vehemently opposed and frontally attacked.

I have the following questions for the political class; the elite ; and the authorities of our military
institutions:
1. What offence have we the masses of Nigeria committed that they have refused to forgive us?
2. Is there a Nigerian that is more Nigerian than other Nigerians?
3. Do we all not have equal stake in the affairs of our jointly owned country? and
4. Is it ever equitable that our own fathers were servants to their fathers; we are now their own servants; and our children will still be servants to their own children?

In a country so richly blessed, why is the condition of the majority so bad that quite numberless Nigerians go to bed almost every night under empty belly? Violent crime rate is steeply rising; the nation is enveloped in perpetual fear owing to insecurity North and South of the country; high profile corruption pervades the land; food is being taken away from the table of many while many cannot afford to put their children in school. Some sponsored foreign economic analysts can sit down in their comfort zone and continue to roll out fallacious statistics about the state of Nigerian economy, but Nigerians who are the owners of the economy know where the shoe pinches.

Just like the Great Zik of Africa had predicted, Nigeria has ever since remained a flock in search of the right shepherd. The country has continued to be handed over (like baton in a relay race) from one “accidental public servant” to another; and so the ship of the nation is on a directionless journey, heading to nowhere. The spirits of June 12 appear to be very adamant, calling for the atonement of the blood of the innocent ones which was unjustly shed.

As the nation warms up for another destiny-changing exercise, it is hoped all stakeholders will hold the interest of the country higher in their mind than their own selfish interest. Those who have either annulled or rigged elections in the past are all alive today to witness the devastating effects of their destructive actions; and the spirits of the victims of their acts of injustice will never allow them to be at peace. The issue on ground is not about being a Muslim or Christian; it is never about being from the North or South; neither is it being a member of the PDP, APC or APGA. It is about Nigeria. If at this 21st Century, and with all our bitter political experience, some people still believe in voting on the strength of religious and ethno-tribal sentiments, let them go ahead and do it. We are all in the same boat together and I do not think anyone can beat his chest to have any safety net in the event of the boat sinking (God forbid). Instead of taking advantage of our numerical strength and leverage on our cultural diversity to reposition our dear country on the map of international politics and economics, discordant tunes of war and division are what we keep singing all about. Bearing upon our antecedents as a people, Nigerians are not behaving like good students of history. If we cannot learn from war-turn countries like Somalia, Liberia, Rwanda, Ukraine and others, why can’t we reflect on our own civil war which left a lot of children fatherless; a lot of fathers childless; and a lot of wives husband-less?

If some people ever believe that they will have better pay-off from a break-up, or that without them, Nigeria will not be, let those people find out what has become of countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Southern Sudan who are all products of secession.

And, the earlier we come off our usual over-exaggerated religious thinking, that God will deliver us, the better. This is one of our weaknesses over the years for which the political class has been having a field day each time they change our decision at the polls. They know that an average Nigerian will never say ‘No’ when his right is trampled upon; he will rather resign himself to fate, expecting God to come and liberate him. The truth of the matter is that at every opportunity to elect our leaders, Nigerians themselves are the holders of the ace; and if we either use it wrongly or we allow our decision to be upturned by desperate politicians, then we should have no one to blame but ourselves. It is absolute stupidity for somebody to keep tackling a problem using the same old approach and then expect a new result. God has never, and will never, come to the rescue of a people who themselves are not ready to have their condition changed for the better. God bless Nigeria

EPISODE 2

In the previous episode-e, I explained from the history of the early church which testified to the fulfilment of Saviour’s words. The powers of hell and earth arrayed themselves against the will of Christ in the person of His followers. Even paganism foresaw that should the gospel triumph, her temples and altars would be swept away; therefore she summoned and called on her evil forces to destroy and eliminate Christianity. The early Christians endured a great hardship and fight of afflictions – Hebrews 10:32. The fires of persecutions were kindled, Christians stripped and denied of their possessions. They ‘had trial of cruel mocking and scourging, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment’ –Hebrews 11:36. Great numbers sealed the testimony of their salvation with their pure blood, not minding Noble and slave, rich and poor, learned and ignorant, black or fair were all slain without mercy.

Apostles of Rome; Peter and Paul (Died AD65-68)

Founding fathers of martyrdom at Rome are apostles Peter and Paul, though no clear and direct evidence to prove it. Little was recorded about Peter’s movement after his divine escape from prison under Herod’s hot persecution in Jerusalem, except that it was recorded that he eventually reached Rome. There are claims from different set of historians and early theologians that Peter founded the church in Rome which though cannot be supported, though he was present there for ministerial works. It was also recorded that peter visited Rome at the request of Paul, in the quest to heal a breach among the Christians there.

Both Apostles Paul and Peter wrote several stirring and inspiring epistles all inspired by God whilst in Rome. Peter wrote in first epistle in which he spoke of the possibility of persecution and called on his readers not to be ashamed of suffering for the name of Christ. He was later joined by mark, who in turn wrote down Peter’s recollections of what Jesus had said and done. Woven into the fabric of the Gospel of Mark is the theme of Christ’s sufferings, possibly written to encourage roman believers under attack.
At the height of Emperor Nero’s persecution, Peter was arrested and crucified, though the circumstances surrounding his death are shrouded in mystery. He was crucified downwards because he did not believe he was worthy of suffering as his Master, Jesus had done. According to tradition, he was buried on Vatican hill and a chapel was erected over his tomb, which was later replaced by a basilica, which would be pulled down in the sixteenth century to make way for the new basilica of St. Peter that we all know today.

Paul was arrested in Jerusalem and following his appeal to the Emperor, reached Rome around AD 59-60. He was in custody for two years until his trial before Emperor Nero. During that period he lived in a rented accommodation under heavy guards; just similar to house arrest, but he was given freedom to receive visitors. Paul was later acquitted in AD62 and he probably travelled to Spain and later visited churches at Asia Minor. He was at some point re-arrested by which time the tide of opinion had turned against Christians and being a non-denial follower of Christ Jesus now earned the death penalty.

When Paul was arrested and brought to trial the second time he had no illusions about being set free, and this he wrote to Timothy, ‘the time had come for his departure’. As a Roman citizen he would have been beheaded rather than crucified, and the place of his execution was quite likely to be outside the city walls on the road to Ostia. The date of his execution is unknown but kit was sometime between the years AD65-68. In the fourth century the Emperor Constantine had a basilica erected over his burial place, where the church of St. Paul’s outside the walls now stands.

The attacks on the church continued up to the death of Nero, when the emperor was declared a public enemy by the senate and was forced to commit suicide. Such was the end of the mad Emperor. For the next 30 years, the church enjoyed a comparative peace until the reign of the Emperor Domitian (next episode), when in AD65 a great surge of second wave of persecution arose.
The martyrdom of these early believers proved a testimony to Christians throughout the Empire and the Church of Rome, which continued to flourish and grow, became a church worthy of God, worthy of honour and worthy of congratulations.

Episode 1

I am writing this paper to debase some lies and claims coupled with deception being spread by some set of people from other religion. I am going to explain based in historical landmarks and facts which was in time past recorded by historians; the persecutions of Christians from the days of Christ. Each account is going to be based on facts and figures gathered and it promises to educative and informative. if you are with me on this, kindly follow, and your contributions are also welcomed. I promise to update every 3 days. Thanks.

The Church

The church is the body of Christ; this does not necessarily mean the building and construction of the physical church. This means, that the church is a body of Christ. Those who have been brought from Satan’s bondage of sin and redeemed by the blood of Christ are members of this body of Christ. From the onset, the church has suffered a lot of blows and attacks from the persecutions, heresies, wars and quarrels and no century has passed without it being troubled by enemies inspired of the devil. It is quite remarkable to know that, founding fathers of the Christian faith laid down their precious lives in the face of persecution and hotness of hatred from the world leaders as at that time. Some were tortured, jailed and martyred all because they could not deny their faith in the one true gospel of Christ. Killings were in hundreds (in the early church) despite the persecution, the church survived this terrible onslaught, increased in strength and by the fourth century, the church was firmly established throughout the Mediterranean.

The Beginning of Persecutions

Though already written and prophesied of how Jesus Christ would be persecuted and made to be killed for the sins He never committed; it all started with Him. The Jewish rejected Him and He was in turn crucified and put to death by the Roman authority. The Jewish rejected Him as the Messiah despite His signs and wonders amongst them. After Christ’s death, the disciples were taken in turns and killed in the name of not denying their faith. The disciples couldn’t deny the name of Christ, they couldn’t dent their faith, for they had the image of Christ instilled on them, hence they were executed.

Paul who was once a persecutor of the Christians encountered Christ on his way to Damascus; his latter was filled with persecutions and rejections from his fellow men. The persecutors expect a decrease in the number of believers but instead there was increment - The blood of the early Christians served as seeds that spread on a fertilized ground.

At first Christianity was referred to as a Jewish by the Roman authority. The reigning Roman authority was never aware of the differences between Judaism and Christianity. The roman policy as at that time allowed freedom of worship to the national religion of the peoples they conquered, and for a while Christians were granted the same right and privilege as the Jews. In fact there were several cases where the Romans gave legal rights to believers and saved them from impending harm.

As there was a greater penetration of the Gospel among the Gentiles causing a great number of conversions amongst them; points of differences between Christianity and Judaism began to emerge. The church was no longer classified as Jewish ethnic group, and the process of separation between synagogue and church was accelerating. Awareness of these developments caught Nero’s (Roman Emperor at the time) attention, which was a result of Paul’s trial in Rome. As a result, the Romans classed Christians as atheists because they had no gods- they did not display any idols, and they refused to worship the Roman’s gods. The believers came under increasing suspicion from the populace as they tended to keep themselves separate. They refused to attend the games at the circus (because they started with a procession of the gods) it was difficult to do trade with them and they often withdrew from the normal round of society.

As at this time, they have been categorized under Religion Illicita (an Illegal religion) and Christians became outlaws. Each week never passed by without them holding secret meetings at which they spoke of another kingdom; they partook of a communal meal at which they were said to drinking blood and eating flesh- a practise that led them being charged with cannibalism and witchcraft. To cap it all, they refused to offer incense on an altar to the divine emperor or to address him as ‘Lord’; they were regarded as traitors of Rome.

Emperor Nero
The account of persecution of early Christians would never be complete if Nero is never mentioned. Nero was a roman emperor who reigned from AD54 – 68, and was the first of a line of emperors who tried to destroy the church. Having gained power at the age of eighteen and for the first five years of his reign ruled with plain justice and leniency. Nero could also be referred to as the mad emperor- in his quest and thirst for powers and political dominion; he arranged for his mother to be clubbed to death and his brother, wife and other members of his family killed as well; in AD65 he forced his own tutor and aide, Seneca to commit suicide.

Nero was a ‘playboy’ who enjoyed all kinds of pleasures. As an accomplished musician and poet, he wrote his own compositions, he was also keen on chariots racing and had his own private hippodrome next to the palace gardens in the Vatican valley.

In July AD64, a great fire was said to have destroyed two thirds of Rome. Rumours had it was he who had started the blaze in order to provide a scenic background for the recitation of his poems about the burning of Troy, though there is no evidence to this effect. Surprisingly, he showed concern for the people who had lost their homes during the fire; he even started a relieve program and opened up his gardens as a place for refuges for the homeless.

But the rumour never stopped spreading. So, for him to divert this suspicion he made a scapegoat of the Christians, who are already a target, of public disgust and hatred, and he Nero, accused them of being the culprits. A large number of believers were arrested and charged, not on religious grounds but with arson. They were instead accused wrongly of what they know nothing about.

The charges against Christians were gradually changed to that of ‘hatred of mankind’ meaning disloyalty to the Emperor. Soon, anyone who acknowledged the name of Christ was accepted guilty and hundreds more were sentenced to a more barbaric death. Many Christians died as martyrs.

Nero, in his madness turned the occasion into a show. And in order to provide amusement, the emperor would dress himself as a charioteer and mounted in his chariot, mingled with the crowds who had gathered to witness the spectacle. Christians were said to have been covered in skins of wild animals and were then torn to pieces by dogs. While some were crucified, others were nailed, some were covered with tar and set alight, so that when darkness fell they burned as human torches. And on and on Christians were persecuted.
