There are premium routes which deliver over DND lines and for you to get this, you might have to pay a little more higher than the normal rates. If you are interested, let me know.

Thanks

Hello. Honestly, I'm not bothered if I pay more than the the usual. The most important thing is that all recipients get messages when they are sent.

yomalex:
You can now send to DND Numbers on domesms.com

The last time we spoke over the phone, you claimed this had been done. However, I discovered that MTN subscribers didn't get the message sent from your platform. Apparently, it is still the same.

goaldynboy:
Your head no correct! Shebi you and your like have been jumping up and down here in nairaland chanting Tboss will go today, while we Tboss fans were busy voting for her. For your information, Tboss had the highest votes among the four today!... So you can now go and find the nearest transformer to hug!!!

No just talk

felixomor:
Maybe if u made sense, the zombie would repent
Dont u think so?

Zombies are irredeemable and are hell bent on not making a turn, even in the face of truth. You cannot poke your hand into the head of a man who doesn't want to reason.

felixomor:
The brother did not make sense either....

The brother cannot make sense when you have programmed your mind into acting the zombie. It is not to far fetched now, or is it?

felixomor:
U claim case B is a "druggie" yet u dont have evidence for such claim....
Or are u the one who sold drugs to her?

Please how are u sure case A is not also a "druggie"?

I am tired of back and forth argument here, biko. Save you don't know that Case B is in reference to Kemi Olunloyo who was convicted and jailed for drug related offences in the Caribbeans. It is an open secret.

And about first Case (Case A), it is possible she is equally a druggie but since she didn't come out to say she is one, and neither did the man involved come out to say the same, we can only assume she is not. However, the most important thing is that Case A involved contact.

If you are looking for evidences and documents, please know that they are littered all over cyberspace. It is not a secret that Madam Kemi is delusional.

Again, the two cases are not the same.

kuzi1:
I smell scam...y dem no dey show us d paper? I knew dem no go want make Tboss comot today cos she's a bunch of drama in dt house. Mteew ojoro ppl...
Av a feeling dt Those na Biggie crush, doesn't wana miss dt face during the freeze moments...

The secret is simple; most of the so called fans of these housemates don't really vote. They do their voting by drumming support on social media then go to sleep thinking that would translate into keeping their favourite housemate.

Tboss' fans have time on their hands to vote on every available platform. Did I also forget to mention that Uti has been campaigning aggressively for her on Instagram?

Misterdhee1:
Naija i hail o! Damn partiality. Very very clear ojoro. Only God knows the foolish ones that voted for Tboss..

It seems your village people are fanning themselves with your picture, abi?

Tboss survives!

Lalasticlala

It would be a shock to her critics to see the REAL CAT (TBOSS) WITH NINE LIVES WALK AWAY WITH THE MONEY.

Very funny. You have a point though but both cases are not one and the same.

Case A:
lady accuses a pastor of adultery.
Pastor keeps quiet.

There was contact here. Both the Man and the lady admitted to knowing each other. While the lady claimed a lot happened between them, Pastor claimed he was only trying to help her get her life back together, and this he did by sending monies, both in Euros and Dollars, which he didn't deny. Knowing the antics of the man in question, he barely gives without his media team taking photographs and posting on social media afterwards.

According to Pastoral ethics, you don't counsel someone of the opposite sex or even engage them alone in the name of rendering assistance as anything could go wrong. The interesting part is, the man's wife had no idea that her husband had been in constant touch with the said stripper whose mission is to 'pull down the man', and rather than address the issues, he released a music video with his wife in their bid to try to convince people.

Case B:
lady accuses pastor of adultery.
Pastor gets her arrested and she's charged to court.

The lady is question is a druggie whom many know and don't take serious. I love the fact that she was picked from Ibadan, but donning a convict's uniform without trials, particularly when she has been granted bail is what most people are frowning at.

PS: Christ is the litmus test for these pastors. Ever bothered to ask yourself what Jesus would do if He found Himself in a mess as theirs?

What's with this smear campaign against Tboss?

rheether:
Tah! Shatap

Who is this one?

This APC style in EFE's camp is nothing but sheer desperation. Tboss has my votes.

This is a game about several people with different orientations and backgrounds and cultural beliefs coming together. Enough with Efe's family. He is the one in the house and not his family!

I honestly don't understand why we believe someone must win because he is poor.

princechurchill:
Tboss is fake and controversial, with her silicon boobs, she said she roll with guys who has private jet as the air hostess of Edo airline

It is funny how most of you didn't see the clip but keep coming online to say she said so.

Uti has been campaigning aggressively for her and even went as far as posting the clip and what she meant before some horrible people cleanly edited the video and chose a part of the video to feed the world with.

Help yaself with the link above.

toogbasky:
I voted for Tbose, but I didn't vote on dat poll, don't be deceived

The link posted by the OP is a mock. It does not in any way affect the real result.

Unfortunately, those who vote for their so called favourite housemates do so via that site and they assume they have done the proper things. Tboss isn't going home tonight.

Viking007:
What's the procedure to vote?
#Tboss.

Send a text message to the number 32052, make sure that you write the word “VOTE” followed by your Housemate’s name. Eg, VOTE TBOSS to 32052. It's N30 per SMS.

CROWNWEALTH019:
God of EFE disgrace TBOSS for us

Others too serve God. Efe isn't the only person in the house. Let us not see this along poverty line, biko.

My 100 votes on Tboss must not be put to waste. She must not go home tonight.

Dexema:
Depends on what sect the easterners or folks from the west came in contact with first.
Funny enough I know of a big Yoruba family who are dedicated Catholics.

I know a handful too but they are not as much as those that are in Anglicans, Methodists, or Pentecostal churches.

I never thought of the OP's question before now.

twentyk:
Cuz we bloody AFonJA and gat tribal marks....
Oh not forgetten our amala and ewedu tendencies...wat u expect we from d brown roof republic....

If they start with you now, you'll start screaming that you want Biafra.

pocohantas:
Why are there few Igbos and more Yorubas Redeem leadership?
Questions questions...

Honestly, you have no idea how many there are. It is not only Igbos alone. There are so many other folks too from other regions, just that the most pronounced ones are those you know.

Ishilove:
On my way

So you too are pinging in church?

Ishilove:
Alcohol induced epiphany. I had myself a good laugh.

You should be in church

Jonathan is brilliant, no doubt, but not intelligent. I wonder how people often think both are one and the same. Reno is a dunce.

pazienza:
I did, and I still see no threat. If you see any, point them out and explain to me how they are threats.

Sweet Jesus!

Choi! Let me explain again, the North THREATENED to Secede in 1953. They threatened because they controlled all sphere, particularly agriculture. Note, this was prior to the oil boom of 1956.

They (North) didn't see the reason being lumped into an entity with other people and as such, wanted out, hence the 'threat'. Nnamdi Azikiwe felt the need to reach out to them by highlighting seven (7) key reasons why the North should remain with Nigeria.

He further went on to sign the anti-secession pact which would further hinder other groups from just deciding to leave when they feel like. This is contrary to your claim that 'no one' signed any such thing.

pazienza:
And where exactly was the threat in that article, can you highlight the threat there?

You superiors here: https://www.nairaland.com/3675653/
Couldn't offer better argument on that article there, and I don't see you besting them.

Diplomacy, Diplomacy.

At the emboldened, my God!

I can't just help it but to shake my head in disbelief. Let me try to explain; The North THREATENED TO SECEDE, and your fellow Igbo wooed the Hausas.

Read the excerpt below as I am sure you didn't read it earlier:

Let me take this opportunity to warn those who are making a mountain out of the molehill of the constitutional crisis to be more restrained and constructive. The dissemination of lies abroad; the publishing of flamboyant headlines about secessionist plans, and the goading of empty-headed careerists with gaseous ideas about their own importance in tile scheme of things in the North is being overdone in certain quarters. I feel that these quarters must be held responsible for any breach between the North and South, which nature had indissolubly united in a political, social and economic marriage of convenience. In my personal opinion, there is no sense in the North breaking away or the East or the West breaking away; it would be better if all the regions would address themselves to the task of crystallizing common nationality, irrespective of the extraneous influences at work. What history has joined together let no man put asunder. But history is a strange mistress which can cause strange things to happen!

pazienza:
Before you blame the black nation for the present
woes, let it be known that no country has ever
seceeded peacefully. That Spain and Catalan are
yet to means they haven't gotten to the brink. This
is not just about the black man. Yes, Caucasians
enslaved us but an Igbo man thwarted the North
from seceeding and even signed the anti-secession
law you suffer from today.

No Igbo man stopped the North from
secession, or stopped anyone from signing the session clause, if you have any better argument towards this, bring it here : https://www.nairaland.com/3683347/10-most-developed-local-government/17#55009568, as your superiors had failed to defend that falsehood.

Iceland seceded successfully from Denmark peacefully. Czechoslovakia divided peacefully into Czech republic and Slovakia. Examples abound of peaceful dissolutions of countries.
Even at that, if Biafra seceded today, it cannot said to be peaceful, as we would have lost millions in the Biafran war and hundreds in peaceful protests to achieve that.

This is shameful coming from you. Apparently you don't know more than what you hear over the radio.

In 1953 when Northern Nigerians were beginning to consider secession from the Nigerian colony that would soon be a nation, Nnamdi Azikiwe gave a speech before the caucus of his political party, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) in Yaba, Nigeria on May 12, 1953. That speech, while not disallowing secession, suggested that there would be grave consequences if the Northern region became an independent nation.

I have invited you to attend this caucus because I would like you to make clear our stand on the issue of secession. As a party, we would have preferred Nigeria to remain intact, but lest there be doubt as to our willingness to concede to any shade of political opinion the right to determine its policy, I am obliged to issue a solemn warning to those who are goading the North towards secession. If you agree with my views, then I hope that in course of our deliberations tonight, you will endorse them, to enable me to publicize them in the Press.

In my opinion, the Northerners are perfectly entitled to consider whether or not they should secede from the indissoluble union which nature has formed between it and the South, but it would be calamitous to the corporate existence of the North should the clamour for secession prevail. I, therefore, counsel Northern leaders to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of secession before embarking upon this dangerous course.

As one who was born in the North, I have a deep spiritual attachment to that part of the country, but it would be a capital political blunder if the North should break away from the South. The latter is in a better position to make rapid constitutional advance, so that if the North should become truncated from the South, it would benefit both Southerners and Northerners who are domiciled in the South more than their kith and kin who are domiciled in the North.

There are seven reasons for my holding to this view. Secession by the North may lead to internal political convulsion there when it is realized that militant nationalists and their organizations, like the NLPU, the Askianist Movement, and the Middle Zone League, have aspirations for self-government in 1956 identical with those of their Southern compatriots. It may lead to justifiable demands for the right of self-determination by non-Muslims, who form the majority of the population in the so-called ‘Pagan’ provinces, like Benue, Ilorin, Kabba, Niger and Plateau, not to mention the claims of non-Muslims who are domiciled in Adamawa and Bauchi Provinces.

It may lead to economic nationalism in the Eastern Region, which can pursue a policy of blockade of the North, by refusing it access to the sea, over and under the River Niger, except upon payment of tolls. It may lead to economic warfare between the North on the one hand, and the Eastern or Western regions on the other, should they decide to fix protective tariffs which will make the use of the ports of the Last and West uneconomic for the North.

The North may be rich in mineral resources and certain cash crops, but that is no guarantee that it would be capable of growing sufficient food crops to enable it to feed its teeming millions, unlike the East and the West. Secession may create hardship for Easterners and Westerners who are domiciled in the North, since the price of food crops to be imported into the North from the South is bound to be very high and to cause an increase in the cost of living. Lastly, it will endanger the relations with their neighbours of millions of Northerners who are domiciled in the East and West and Easterners and Westerners who reside in the North.

You may ask me whether there would be a prospect of civil war, if the North decided to secede? My answer would be that it is a hypothetical question which only time can answer. In any case, the plausible cause of a civil war might be a dispute as to the right of passage on the River Niger, or the right of flight over the territory of the Eastern or Western Region; but such disputes can be settled diplomatically, instead of by force.

Nevertheless, if civil war should become inevitable at this stage of our progress as a nation, then security considerations must be borne in mind by those who are charged with the responsibility of government of the North and the South. Military forces and installations are fairly distributed in all the three regions; if that is not the case, any of the regions can obtain military aid from certain interested Powers. It means that we cannot preclude the possibility of alliance with certain countries.

You may ask me to agree that if the British left Nigeria to its fate, the Northerners would continue their uninterrupted march to the sea, as was prophesied six years ago? My reply is that such an empty threat is devoid of historical substance and that so far as I know, the Eastern Region has never been subjugated by any indigenous African invader. At the price of being accused of overconfidence, I will risk a prophecy and say that, other things being equal, the Easterners will defend themselves gallantly, if and when they are invaded.

Let me take this opportunity to warn those who are making a mountain out of the molehill of the constitutional crisis to be more restrained and constructive. The dissemination of lies abroad; the publishing of flamboyant headlines about secessionist plans, and the goading of empty-headed careerists with gaseous ideas about their own importance in tile scheme of things in the North is being overdone in certain quarters. I feel that these quarters must be held responsible for any breach between the North and South, which nature had indissolubly united in a political, social and economic marriage of convenience. In my personal opinion, there is no sense in the North breaking away or the East or the West breaking away; it would be better if all the regions would address themselves to the task of crystallizing common nationality, irrespective of the extraneous influences at work. What history has joined together let no man put asunder. But history is a strange mistress which can cause strange things to happen!

If there is another civil war, God forbid, Nigeria
would not only suffer the casualty. The other side
would receive more blows than Nigeria itself.
Ojukwu never wanted a peaceful dissolution and he
thought he had everything all mapped out until he
saw that the odds were in his favour, which
prompted him to flee to Abidjan.
Trust is, Biafra too would get the support of other
countries. Don't be surprised that a particular
country try might be selling weapons to both. After
all, it is profit first before allegiance.
It is either you have your cash at hand or trade
with other means you have.


Ojukwu went to Aburi to secure peacefulresolution of the Biafran issue, Gowon scuttled it and reneged on all agreements reached at Aburi, replacing them with Decree 8.

Ojukwu always called for UN supervised referendum in all parts of Biafra, the minorities areas mainly. Gowon again declined, preferring war instead.

Only mischievous dishonest beings driven by innate rabid case of Igbophobia accuse Ojukwu of not seeking for peace but war.

Gowon and his ilks also felt the war would have lasted few months in 1967, they never considered Eastern region a formidable foe, but we know how that turned out. Today it's going to be hard to use tactics like starvation of civilian populations and bombing of market places and houses full of women and children to win the war like Gowon and Awolowo did in the 60's.

Nigeria won't get away with fighting dirty.

Mehn! You've all been lied to! So the man who led people to the slaughterhouse became a hero!

So you mean the man who was given asylum in Cote D'Ivoire was actually on a peace resolution mission?

I'm so done laughing! Below is an excerpt from the man himself.

Ikechu10:
This one couldn't even keep up with why I called them laughable. Heya poor thing.
I even mentioned the reason multiple pages back.

Urhobo and Edo are laughable because the IPOB you've been screeching about, the leader aka Nnamdi KANU have NEVER classified una as Biafrans.
When he was in the radio, the tribes he spoken as biafra have been ijaws, ibibio, efik, Igala, idoma, etc hence it's understand if they speak.

The tribe he does not want screeching about the most is laughable to me considering since last year, the people whom have been shouting against Biafra have been predominately you people. I recall last year how many attention seeking threads you urhobo opened speaking against Biafra and I recall how many times several pro-Biafrans stated you aren't wanted.
Hell trust me, I know in few months coming up, I bet all I got that we would see yet again another urhobo attention seeking thread regarding biafra. Bet me on that!!

So what changed recently? Why the sudden interest from the foot soldiers? Perhaps because he is incarcerated and there seems to be no other option in pushing forward? Yarn me another tori.

pazienza:
Biafra never really got military support from any of those nations you listed, only France gave partial half hearted military support initially but later withdrew the meagre support they were giving when the British threatened to arm secessionist groups in French colonies.

Dedetwo:
Where did you pull these goofy stuff? France never supported Biafra because it was warned to stay away from British territory by the British government led by the Labor Party.

Honestly, I don't know what you guys have been reading or listening to but you sure have entertained me tonight.

How could you guys say that France or any of the country tries I mentioned never supported Biafra just because they immediately had one engagement or the other?

Let's cut to the chase, there are many journals and publications online explaining the role of France and the other countries. If Radio Biafra has been telling you that Ojukwu got no help from external forces, then let me be the first to inform you that it is telling lies.

I am presently reading a journal of Spain in the Nigerian Civil War and both of simultaneously came up with 'France went on a tea break, while South Africa went clubbing'.

At least if journals would lie, videos won't.

Dedetwo:
Where did you pull these goofy stuff? France never supported Biafra because it was warned to stay away from British territory by the British government led by the Labor Party.

Israel could not support because it was besieged in a war of attrition by the Arab countries. Portugal and Spain like France were told to stay way from conflict in the British empire by the government in Britain.

The Republic of South Africa was under what was known as apartheid regime and was not welcome in any African affairs. Only one part of Rhodesia was an independent country thus Zambia which recognized Biafra. Like Zambia, countries such as Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Haiti only recognized Biafra as country. These did not render any military help to Biafra.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

There is video on YouTube on the Biafran war. A documentary from the Biafran Camp with over an hour duration on YouTube. I'm sure it would change a whole lot. Ciao!

Ikechu10:
Tell that to your urhobo clowns who is desperate for attention despite being an unwanted tribe in biafra.

When ibibio, efik, ijaw speaks, understandable
When urhobo or any edo group speaks, it is laughable.

Humour, me, please? Did you not mudsling someone on a thread for being Ijaw sometimes last year, claiming he was pretending to be Urhobo because Ijaws are known to be land grabbers, according to you?

So Ijaw is 'understandable' today while Urhobo and Edo is laughable? Good grief!
