October

The year of Chidinma Okeke

The second month...

September

Edo gubernatorial election

One of the months left open...

August

Rice on a whole new level: First it was PMS, then tomatoes and then rice. Contrary to popular belief that the clampdown on ‘foreign’ rice is responsible for its scarcity nationwide, eperts had predicted in May that the world would suffer major rice shortage after global production was hit by extreme weather patterns, potentially fuelling an international price crisis. Rice still remains a scarce commodity despite the intervention of Ebonyi and Kebbi that have painstakingly sustained a portion of the country with its harvest. Anambra would have been a great addition but its internet rice no one has ever bought, one wonders if Nigerians have turned the proverbial cock being punished with a bottle of corn. Lagos? Well, the Lake rice still remains elusive as PMS during scarcity.

Robert Mugabe orders athletes’ arrest: On the 24th of August, Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, ordered that the country’s Olympic team be arrested for ‘wasting’ the country’s resources and for failing to win a reasonable medal in Brazil. Mugabe issued the order to the commissioner general of Zimbabwe police republic, asking that the ‘rats we call athletes’ be arrested and detained. Although one of the athletes tried, he was the closest to winning a thing after coming 8th in his category. Till date, no one knows what became of the ‘rats’.

Cool FM sacks Freeze: The outspoken OAP was fired after posting a controversial picture of himself and Basketmouth’s wife cuddling, one whom he referred to as an old family friend. Bovi Ugboma, a close friend and Basketmouth’s colleague reacted to Freeze’s post with the full picture Freeze earlier posted. Cool FM, angered by its OAP’s controversies announced that the On Air Personality no longer works with them.

Cool FM reemploys Freeze: Well, it didn’t take long after he was fired to be recalled. He confirmed this after posting a picture of himself with his boss, Mr Moussali, which he tagged ‘father and son’. He has stopped attacking Basketmouth however. Pastors are now his targets.

Mark Zuckerberg visits Nigeria: Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg made a surprise visit to Nigeria in August. What’s more is that he took to the streets jugging without security operatives. In a funny twist, Mark visited Kenya, dined with government officials, something he didn’t do in Nigeria. Well, Kenyans called out Nigerians as they wanted to compare and contrast. Our social media airforce team roasted them before they landed, averting a continental clash. If we would want to clash with any country, it wouldn’t be Kenya, not in the least of ways.

July

Bukky Ajayi passes on: Legendary actress, Zainab Bukky Ajayi passed on immediately after Ramadan. She passed on at 82.

Portugal wins Euro 2016: The Seleccao did the unimaginable by winning the European national tourney, even more without their main man. France, the host, was in sublime form from the start to the final which saw Eder seal a lone goal for the Seleccao. An injured Ronaldo who whimpered while substituted outperformed Arsene Wenger that night in the coaching area and was the main attraction despite being pulled out at the initial half of the match. Meanwhile, La Midget ruined his most glorious chance of winning a national trophy after shooting a penalty into space. Chile went on to the Copa America, La midget ‘retired’ from international football but came back afterwards. I guess it explains why Ronaldo is better.

Dino vs Remi Tinubu: Another comic episode of Nigerian lawmakers unfolded at the upper chamber following a spat between Senator Dino Melaye and Oluremi Tinubu. Melaye had allegedly told Remi Tinubu that he would beat, rape and get her pregnant and the ‘powerful’ BAT would do nothing. To prove this, Melaye went down to Lagos and took several pictures of the infamous Bourdillon where the Tinubus live. His damage control was however worse; while speaking to pressmen, he stated that Remi Tinubu is more like a sister and there was no way Remi Tinubu could get pregnant as she has attained menopause.

Budget Padding: Jibrin vs Dogara: So a major can of worm blew open as erstwhile Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Jibrin Abdulmumin raised allegations against Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara. Jibrin claimed the budget which took the present months to sign was padded. The lawmaker went ahead to mke several allegations on Twitter against the Speaker as he was stripped of his office. Dogara, however, came out afterwards to say ‘padding is not unconstitutional and is not a crime’. Corruption stares boldly in the APC regime, no doubt.

June

PMB launches Ogoni Land Cleanup: There were mixed reactions following the $1 Billion cleanup launch in Ogoni for two major reasons; Jonathan had failed to achieve this while in office as someone from the South-South, the Niger Delta Avengers made a death threat, a threat the President took quite seriously and didn’t show up in Ogoni, Rivers.

Cassius Clay passes on: AKA as Muhammed Ali, the legendary boxer passed on June 3rd, 2016. The Kentucky boy died at the age of 74 after battling with Parkinson for a very long time.

Keshi passes on: Former Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, joined the list of celebrities to transit to the great beyond on the 8th of June in Delta State. He passed on five months after his wife died, following a prolonged battle with cancer.

Henrietta Kosoko passes on: The news of her death came two days after Keshi’s. The Urhobo born Nollywood star was the third wife veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, would be losing to the cold hands of death. She died at 53.

Shuaibu Amodu passes on: June saw to the exit of two Nigerian coaches, with Shuaibu making the second coach. He died just two days after Keshi, and on the same day as Henrietta Kosoko, at the age of 58.

IGP Arase bows out as Kpotun Idris takes over: Former police chief, Solomon Arase, handed over to his successor, Ibrahim K Idris at the IGP conference center in Abuja.

Aisha Buhari vs Fayose: Fayose had accused the First Lady over her alleged role in the Harliburton scandal, claiming he had proofs to back up his claim. The First Lady threatened to sue the governor for defamation while the Presidency released an international passport, claiming that the Aisha involved in the scandal is not the First Lady but some other Aisha who has the same surname as the Buharis. The poor woman came out to deny the allegations however and Fayose stayed mum, obviously unsure of his so-called proofs.

Fayose vs Zenith Bank: Fayose, being implicated in Dasuki’s sharing fest had told the media that Zenith bank funded his campaign, one which the bank came out to deny. In order to mend broken fences between both parties, the sent delegates to Fayose’s home to ‘plead’, a moment Fayose lived for as he was well prepared with his media team who captured the ‘we beg to differ’ moment

May

Leicester City wins the BPL: Underdogs shocked the football world to win the Barclay Premier League while the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool where left kissing the wind. Note I did not mention Man United and Chelsea. We all know where they were when Vardy led Leicester to glory. I feel for Arsenal though.

Buhari signs 2016 budget at last: May 15, 2016 was the day the President signed the 2016 budget into law. The budget was laid before a joint session of the National Assembly on the 22nd of December, 2015. It’s safe to say Nigeria was auto pilot before the budget was finally signed. The first of its kind.

Oba of Benin passes on: The Oba of Benin, Omo n'Oba Erediauwa Akpolokpolo I, was reported dead after battling some unknown illness since 2015.

‘Nigerian politicians are fantastically corrupt’ - UK PM, David Cameron: I could remember when the video of Cameron surfaced while telling the Queen that Nigerian politicians are fantastically corrupt. I could remember the reactions from every corner lashing back at the former Prime Minister while some took him down memory lane, just to remind him that his father was no different from a typical Nigerian politician. He wasn’t lying though. Nigerian politicians are fantastically corrupt.

The rise of Fulani herdsmen: While the Presidency claimed Boko Haram had technically been defeated, a subtle sect in the guise of Fulani Herdsmen rose to prominence and became the real deal as security operatives gave them the free will to roam. Mind you, they have long been around before now, committing atrocities here and there, but for some reasons, they grew in power as the Presidency stayed mute over their activities.

The rise of Niger Delta Avengers: The NDA was birthed in March 2016 but didn’t register themselves as daring group until May 2016 when it vowed to cripple the country’s economy. Well, they did so to an extent as they destroyed oil installations in Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states.

One of many Chibok girls found: One of many Chibok girls kidnapped under Goodluck Jonathan’s watch was found after disappearing for about two years. Amina Ali Nkeki was found carrying a baby around the Cameroonian border.

When Tomatoes was Gold: Tomatoes became Gold earlier this year as a result of ‘Tuta Absoluta’, a ravaging insect pest which destroyed well over 40% of harvest. I could remember some blaming the President like he was the one who transformed to sucking out all harvested tomatoes. Alternatives such as ‘Banga stew’ was adopted while desperate Nigerians cashed in on expired canned tomatoes. It was a trying period though we survived.

Uju Stella Vs burna boy: So Burna Boy and one of his random social media girls graced the spotlight after the young lady called him out for getting her pregnant. Dude went ballistic on the poor girl and claimed they did it ‘just once’. Apparently the girl was rejected by the musician’s mum. The outcome? Burna Boy could not tow Davido’s path. He’s not all that wealthy.

April

Round 1: Wizkid vs Linda Ikeji (Wizkid alleged rent expired): Many thought the initial fight between the duo would suffice for 2016 but that wasn’t the case. The blogger reported this time that the music start was given a quit notice after failing to pay his rent in a house he claimed was his. Wizkid was beyond bitter as he made some derogatory remarks about the blogger in her page. Linda responded with a calm piece but the damage was huge as she was branded as something smelling…
Here’s a quick recap of who said what and what was said.

1. All those shoes and bags still won’t help you get a good man – Wizkid
2. Oh Wizkid! What a child! – Linda
3. You and your laptop will stay married for life – Wizkid
4. You are not 25, we know your real age! – Linda
5. Your mum and your entire family are still losers – Wizkid
6. Did I mention that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase? Oh shit! I just mentioned that – Linda
7. I Googled ‘Linda at 25’ and found nothing! – Wizkid
8. You are nothing but a blogger! All your money won’t change that – Wizkid
9. My director f*****you and left your stinking ass in the hotel because your p**** stinks – Wizkid
10. If I ever see you, I will ask my 16 year old cousin to beat the shit out of you – Wizkid

Linda, obviously scarred by the name most Nigerians started taunting her with, reported the issue to the Lagos state police commissioner under the guise of ‘Wizkid said he would beat me’. Talk about secondary school kids.

Saraki's trial begins at the CCT: The Senate President and number three citizen of the country, Bukola Saraki, started his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal after many action movies of evading trial among many other things.

Panama Papers implicate Saraki, David Mark, Danjuma (Largest Global Fraud Scandal Ever): Considered to be the largest global fraud scandal in the world till date, the Panama papers are 11.5 million leaked documents that detail financial and attorney–client information for more than 214,488 offshore entities. The leaked documents were created by Panamanian law firm and corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca; some date back to the 1970s.

The leaked documents contain personal financial information about wealthy individuals and public official which had previously been kept private. While offshore business entities are legal, reporters found that some of the Mossack Fonseca shell corporations were used for illegal purposes, including fraud, kleptocracy, tax evasion, and evading international sanctions.

Guess what, guys? Nigerians were not missing in action! Senate President, Bukola Saraki; former Senate President, David Mark; former Delta State Governor, James Ibori; former Army chief and Minister of Defence, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd.); Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote; and his cousin, Sayu Dantata, are the prominent Nigerians named to have links with the offshore assets revealed in the Panama Papers.

PMS sold for 300/litre due to fuel scarcity: I’m sure many have forgotten we bought fuel for about 300/litre in April. Well the horror started on the 1st of March and it was intense. We can’t remember because it is behind now. We truly ride on emotions and the present as a people.

Fayose vs PMB (China Saga): This has got to be the greatest political joke of 2016. The ever garrulous governor of Ekiti state had been on President’s Buhari case since he was sworn in and remains his greatest opponent till date. So Fayose jetted out after PMB to deliver a keynote speech at China’s 119th Import and Export Trade Fair. The man apparently made a huge joke out of his visit while disgracing his ancestors. Who goes to China just he could pose with a pulpit all in the name of delivering a speech?

#Operationcallyoursenators: In what seems to be the greatest, collective privacy leak in Nigeria, Sahara Reporters published mobile phone numbers of the 109 senators at the upper chamber. According to Sahara Reporters, the idea was to enhance transparency and a more open government. This came after it was alleged that some Senators were subtly endorsing the grazing bill. Trust Nigerians, most chose to bully the senator representing their constituency while screenshots of some asking certain senators for money littered the cyberspace.
Saraki's counsel vs Justice Umar Danladi: Saraki and his counsels frustrated the CCT with many please and prayers while running to High courts to stall proceedings at the CCT, which didn’t sit well with the judge presiding over Saraki’s case at the Tribunal. In one of their delay tactics, the judge was recorded to have been frustrated, lost his temper. There were calls from the Saraki camp thereafter, asking the judge to step down, the same most people asked Saraki to do which he ignored. Talk about double standard.

Tiwa Savage vs TeeBillz: The year of Edible Catering! A one-time was turned inside out owing to allegations of infidelity. Every good thing comes to end someday, or so they say. Tiwa moved on quite well while Tee billz was forced to remove the ‘billz’ from his name as there were so many of them to settle, according to his estranged wife. I hear he only cuts his hair once in a month now, though.

March

More abduction revelations: Punch Newspaper intensified its effort on investigation journalism to expose what was described as a grand conspiracy of ‘Islamizing’ Nigeria by some Northern elites. Blessing Gopep, Stolen at 12 from a Bauchi motor park, Linda Christopher, Stolen at 16, name changed to Aisha, Lucy Ejeh, Stolen at 15, forcefully married by abductor at 20, Progress Jacob, 13, Stolen, held by Bauchi Shari’ah commission among a host of others. Apparently, this has been on for a long and Ese Oruru’s abduction brought quite some more to the limelight.

Mile 12 Saga: Yoruba vs Hausa: Mile 12, the most popular market in Lagos became a battle zone between the Hausas and the Yorubas after a Hausa motorcyclist was contained for running into a pregnant woman. The aftermath left 10 persons dead while over 100 hundred were injured, as reported by PUNCH and other media outlets.

Minister of State, Labour dies: Nigeria's Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, James Ocholi, died in a road accident along the Kaduna-Abuja highway Mr. Ocholi, SAN, from Kogi state died in a crash with his son.

Osun N6M allocation: Obviously the funniest allocation of the year, Osun state was allocated 6 million Naira by the FG for the month of March. Some thought it was 600 Million at first, only to find out it was truly 6 Million naira.
Breakdown:
Total Gross Allocation: N2.422bn
Total Deductions (External Debts, ISPO and others): N2.416bn
Total Net Amount: N.6.23million
Osun state was close to being advertised on OLX and Jiji.

Psquare resolve differences: After so many outburst and drama which they discovered was wearing people out, the twin star decided to come together again and their brother, Jude as their manager. The reunion birthed ‘Bank Alert’, a song I believe they recorded in a hurry.

el Rufia Vs Deputy (Slap Fest in Kaduna) : Social media was abuzz with reports that the governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and his deputy, engaged in a slap fest, one which the deputy had a upper hand and those in attendance had to rescue the petite governor before his deputy could go Aluu mode. It was reported that the governor was the first to initiate the fest after the deputy announced that certain policies adopted by the governor are not benefitting his constituency and that he might be stoned should he go back home. Arguments here and there and the governor planted a wet slap on his deputy’s cheek. The deputy, restarted by the slap, stayed mum all through until he had the chance to return the favour, while others present held him back from going full MK4 on the governor. El-Rufai came out to deny though but the deputy never did to this day.

Nomoreloss passes on: I could remember singing to ‘Kilode’, one of his tracks in March and was thinking what we did to deserve the generation of musicians we have now when the news of his death popped almost two weeks later. The ‘Iyawo Asiko’ crooner reportedly died of Typhoid in Lagos. RIP Olumuyiwa Osunuga.

February

Tope Aluko vs Fayose (confession on Channels TV): Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Secretary in Ekiti State, Tope Aluko continued the versus trend in February after making serious allegations against Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose. The embattled former secretary revealed how #EkitiGate was perfected in a hotel. The ‘war’ between the duo went on for months while Aluko kept raising alarm of threats to his life and his family.

Peter Vs Jude Okoye: 2016 would forever remain the year many would remember concerning the Okoyes. Who am I deceiving? Nigerians would totally forget that the Okoyes washed their dirty linen in public come 2017. With their elder brother in the mix, Paul and Peter parted ways as a singing duo. And their team? Well, they chose the better devil as the likes of Pappy J went with Peter and Jude with Paul.

Linda Ikeji Vs Wizkid: Ah! The most hilarious versus of 2016! The sultry blogger was given some sufficient amount of Chloroquine by the music star after publishing an article, claiming he had collected some amount of money from the management of American University, Adamawa and failed to perform. Wizkid fired back with some derogatory names while the university management came out to debunk the allegation. Obviously not the end, Linda shaded Wizkid after rapper, The Game, stood up for his baby mama against a troll. The blogger took to his Instagram page with an article which she titled ‘when your baby daddy is not a deadbeat’. This was in reference to an interview in which one of Wizkid’s baby mama referred to him as deadbeat. Wizkid had his pound of flesh on snapchat afterwards with a picture of Linda which he captioned ‘Almost 40, lonely and bitter’.

FFK Vs Modu Sherrif: So we thought the PDP was dead after failing to see Jonathan return as incumbent and after failing sustain rent payment of their secretariat. Parrot Fani-Kayode stepped into the ring with new party chairman to further tell the world that the party is in disarray. Did it stop there? Coming months, perhaps.

AY and Wife: Dynamic but dry comedian, Ayo Makun followed in the long list of celebrities with issues in 2016 after his wife left their home for three days. Stella-Dimikoko had ealier reported that Mabel left the house as a result of marital issues; one which didn’t settle well with the comedian who went hot at the blogger. Long story short, Mabel came back home afterwards while AY claimed she left the house because it was being fumigated. Lie of life.

Olajumoke's rise to fame: The most inspirational, motivating and Cinderella-like story of 2016! A bread seller turned model and internet sensation, all thanks to God and Gospel singer cum photographer, TY Bello who searched for the mystery lady who had earlier photobombed her shoot. The story stopped being funny as ten consecutive topics on Nairaland FP was Olajumoke’s. February 2016 would forever be a year for Olajumoke to remember.

BRed Vs Yung6ix: Video vixen and bonus to the HKN gang, BRed threatened to beat up Yung6ix when their path crosses for no just cause. Yung6ix had actually taken to Twitter to ‘reveal’ some ‘big names’ (whatever that means), an act which prompted BRed to threaten the warri star. I honestly don’t understand how a male video vixen would think he is a big name.

14-year old Ese rescued from abductor(s): The kidnapping of Ese Rita Oruru, the youngest child of Charles Oruru and Rose Oruru, occurred on 12 August 2015 at her mother's shop in Yenagoa local government area, Bayelsa State. Ese, who was 13 years old at the time, was abducted by man named Yunusa Dahiru (alias Yellow) and taken to Kano, where she was raped, forcibly Islamized and married off without her parents consent. The conversion and marriage took place in the palace of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. The internet went agog for over a month as the international communities beamed their light into the case.
From Kwani Police, the case was transferred to the Kano State Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Mrs. Rose Oruru was told to return to Bayelsa State and report the situation to the Yenagoa CID. Subsequent attempts to secure the release of Oruru proved abortive until 29 February 2016, when it was reported that she had been rescued by police following a massive campaign by Punch newspaper which sparked national outrage.

January

Davido vs Baby mama: Well this happened at the dying minute of 2015 and is considered to be the controversy that wrapped year. The Momodus and the Adelekes turned Madrid and Barcelona as they went head-to-head over Davido and Sophia’s daughter. And with Dele of Ovation playing the resilient groom who made the airport his temporary abode, the Adelekes could not take little Imade to Dubai for the holidays. Well, the issues didn’t die a natural death, however. Davido went on to taunt Mr Ovation in 2016 which didn’t sit well with the publisher. Davido, through the clash, made Nigerians realize that the Baby mama business is highly lucrative with Sophia bagging 350k monthly.

Olamide vs Don Jazzy: Choi! With this controversy, Nigerians didn’t need a prophet to tell them that 2016 would be riddled with so many dramas. The YBNL and Mavin boss clashed at the headies over Lil Kesh and Reekado Banks at the Headies all because of the controversial Next Rated category. Reekado went on to win, Olamide reacted, Don Jazzy, in his usual ‘epic’ manner served Olamide. The aftermath? They divided and shared Lagos between them, without the consent of Oba Akiolu and Ambode. I honestly didn’t know that musicians could sell places or areas in Lagos, not until this happened. With the mainland belonging Olamide and the Island belonging to Don Jazzy, Oba Akiolu and Ambode were left puzzled. Africa’s number one tycoon was the Deus ex Machina in the sour land grabbing tale, all thanks to Headies.

Dammy Krane vs Wizkid: So this two broke bottles on themselves at Quilox just because they had nothing to do in the studio. Well, the duo could not share other parts of Lagos for reasons unknown. Dangote was on leave at the time and the mogul just could not step into this one.

Olisah Metuh arrested: The first goat was arrested in January. He went on to become a goat for chowing his statement at the EFCC office in Abuja. Talk about taking back your words, or eating them. The National Publicity Secretary of the People's Democratic Party admitted to collecting 400million from Goodluck Jonathan for a ‘job done’. He cooled off a while though until his lawyers stated praying that he be flown abroad for bad health. What happened to Nigerian hospitals?

Ice Prince vs Girlfriend: Okay, so Ice Prince, beyond his bad boy attitude in music videos is indeed a hopeless romantic dude. Evidences littered the cyber space and his most cherished girlfriend had been seeing a wealthier guy in Abuja. Contrary to what a typical Nigerian man would do, Ice Prince wailed for love, asked the wealthy dude to leave his girlfriend in peace and the love story started again. Talk about eating well preserved vegetables.

Nigerians are a highly forgetful people. This is obviously not a secret or something a few know. With over 160 million people whose main aim is survival, piling certain things is a huge no for us as a people. Most of our actions are solely based on emotions; one which fades away after some time, particularly when the said issue is eventually cleared.

This perhaps explains why it is difficult for us as a people to hold memorials for the bomb blast victims of Lagos, the victims of Belview, Sosoliso, and even those who lost their lives in the SCOAN, in Lagos and a host of many other ill-fated events.

The Highlights on this thread started for me on December 31st, 2015 (at night) and would only feature topical issues with generated sparks on social media and off of social media.

PS: For some reasons, I’d be leaving two months empty, just so people could try to recall what went down and then list the happenings therein. For me, I’d be making light so scenarios for the fun of it. So, here goes.

This is sad...

DarkRebel101:

I read every single letter you wrote. If you weren't screwing around, then tell me, signora - was it the Holy Spirit that had you impregnated? Ave Maria, Ora pro nobis!

There's no difference – at least to me – between screwing many people and screwing one person with whom you have no intention of having a future—they both fall under the category of casual sex.

Here's an excerpt from your initial post:

Are the wrong ones you speak of not those you've dated, and possibly had sexual relations with? How's that not screwing around?

That's unimportant anyway, the kernel of the issue here is your failure to learn from past experience by choosing time again to have sex with someone you hold no marital prospects for, while fully aware that contraceptives are not fail-proof, and mishaps like condom leakages linger forebodingly in the north wind.

Yes, we must all have sex at some point, and it reaches a time when dildøs and cucumbers lose their appeal, but given your antecedents, one would expect that whoever you choose to torque beneath the bed sheets with should be one who's already a cinched deal—not someone you can't even bring yourself to inform of your pregnancy.

And I'm wagering your first child was fathered by a different man. No?

Admit it, you were reckless and didn't give your actions much thought.
But, it's inutile wailing over spilled milk, and it's time to move on.

And the only way moving on can be made possible is surely not by MURDERING an innocent soul, but by having the balls to deal with the mistakes you've made.

You're just TOO COLD! Haba! She made a mistake, fine. It is not in our place to play God over her at this point in her life. She was reckless, naughty, wayward, blah blah blah and all of that, does not mean you are better and does not make me better as well. You don't judge people when they're down. It's totally wrong. It's like beating a man who passed out.

@troubledheart, I have nothing new to say than to ask you to make haste on whatever decision you take at the end of the day. It is easier saying you give up your child for adoption when orphanages are filled with children, and we have also seen women who further dimmed their future just because the mouths to feed are much. We have scenarios of children who suffered through life to become great. Whatever path you tow in the end should be your decision and not someone else's. That way, you'd find fulfillment that you did right or otherwise.

Truth is, we all make mistakes at some point in our lives. Those who don't bring theirs to the fore would forever remain saints while those who feel burdened and troubled should be burned to the stakes. Just like a couple of persons suggested, if you are certain the man responsible won't see through with you, please don't usher the child in just so he or she questions his or her existence.

Mizmycoli, I understand your stand and as a pro-life, I understand how difficult it could be to 'murder' an innocent child. But then, it just could be a graver sin if at the end of the day she's left to to stare at the sun while fending for the children becomes a herculean task. I have witnessed a couple of this and I must admit that it is not a funny sight, not in the least of ways.

Not again. I don't see him bouncing back from this, not with this new allegation.

[quote author=0xtr193r post=52341622][/quote]Apologies for what is about to come, but you don't strike me as an intelligent person, not in the least of ways. The thread was very interesting until you got us all trapped in a loop of copy and paste epistles. No genuine argument came from you that transcended beyond a line.

I can't remember the last time I saw an interesting thread as this but somehow you turned it inside out as you don't have anything meaningful to bring to the fore. I guess it speaks volume as to how some agitators don't have a thing upstairs about their pursuit. If you want to go on copying and pasting, at least give us something new, I beg you.

Truth4eva:
Biafra restoration is of the mind. Ths is why the agitation continues even though some have died and some are in detention b/c of it. An ideology does not easily die. I don't need to register with any of these groups to make me a biafran. These groups, esp. IPOB, are just pressure groups for the restoration of Biafra. We also have pressure groups like Arewa for hausas/fulanis majorly and Odua for Yorubas.

Don't make that mistake of branding Arewa and Afenifere as pressure groups. They are the face and representation of their people, just as the Ohaneze for the Igbos. Juxtaposing Afenifere and Arewa alongside IPOB or MASSOB is tad disrespectful. You don't brand socio-cultural groups as pressure groups. Never!

With that being registered, the absence of oneness within the Ohaneze Ndigbo has been one of the reasons the Biafra issue has been rocking back and forth. This same problem plagues the Niger Delta. The only two stable socio-cultural groups are the Arewa Northern Forum and the Afenifere. True agitation starts from these groups. This is why it would be very easy for the Yorubas to pull out of Nigeria. The Hausas too can do that effortlessly as their powerhouses are vested in these groups.

The problem with Biafra is not Yoruba as people often claim to say here in the East, but the many selfish interests exhibited by so many Igbo groups. For example, the Ohaneze Ndigbo group keep asking for demands from the FG everyday whereas the likes of IPOB and MASSOB would come out to say something different, while fighting for the TRUE body representing the Biafran struggle.

The lower class scream Biafra night and day like everything would be alright the moment they have it, yet, the political class keep fighting in the Senate because they don't want to lose their seats. Ebonyi as a state is not neck deep into the Biafran struggle compared to states as Anambra and Enugu. Can you see the many problems now?

It explains why I'm indifferent towards the Niger Delta cause. Most of the people coming out to represent us go on Ghost mode after a round table discussion with the FG. Asari Dokubo used to fight for the true Niger Delta struggle, not until Jonathan settled him. Just as the Igbos, we don't have a single voice as the Yorùbás and Hausas, which is one reason people consider those making demands as clowns.

Until Ohaneze Ndigbo can truly represent the ideal of the South East, and MASSOB and IPOB can come together with the Zionist Movement to speak with one single, common voice, then the struggle is nothing but a child's play. The Biafran struggle far transcends beyond Yorubas or any other people out there. The problem is internal but quite frankly, most agitators can't see this because the campaign of hate towards others seems to be the drive to their agitation.

Rubbish .Where is the picture of him running in Nigeria ? Take this senseless post and dump it in the Lagoon

It's obvious you've never been to Lagos since you cannot recognize the Third Mainland Bridge in the picture.

They've already received the training they require. They're simply launching a well orchestrated Islamic jihad on the highways.

While their herdsmen brothers execute their own jihad in villages and farms, that of the city is handled by boko haram.

If only you can adhere to your signature... IF ONLY.

No one has debunked it. You cant debunk truth. Its just one version.

There's a video on YouTube by Dr. Mike Heiser. Please do well to see it.

Ishilove:
This remains one of the mysteries of the Ancient world. Billyonaire came up with a theory that it was contracted by gods or something

Lol... Exactly what came to my mind the moment I saw Explorers' post on it. Billyonaire's thread was pretty much interesting even though his posts had long been debunked. Talk about gold transportation

This is really. I can't believe it's the same Cityhood I recommended to a colleague just because I see his posts and aggressive campaign everywhere. My said colleague has been excited a while and I believe they've been communicating back and forth. I already called him since reading the first page.

Truth is, everyone innocent until caught in the act. It's quite strange that he didn't address the issues raised by the OP, rather sought to calling him a small boy. You didn't question his size before the deal was consummated, now you're doing so having sold a box on wheels. I read on a thread where he was boasting of what he is not and it only goes on to show that you not only lie a lot but also would deceive just about anyone. Someone claimed he is a middleman and might have been lied to himself. Well, this post says a whole lot contrary.

cityhood:
I read al through this post and comment about cityhood
And I began to laugh out louds like very funny dude zazue smellowsz

Don't know you from Adam but am very sure you zazue just want to create some stories but you stated what happen between you and Mr cityhood now
You claimed your inspector came! To Kaduna state did I even told you smellows that am in Kaduna town?? Oga adey smellow zazzue

Am in Zaria
I have a car for myself called dada motors I am not an agent
I am not a middleman
And likewise am Nt just a guy that you think you can just be talking to like your junior brother

You need to learn courtsy myfriend!!!

There are still business that can join us together in future

If you think am not real plz just come and see
Dada motors
Dada pure water
Dada petrol
I can post here the pics of all my personal business pics for you to see
My friend

If he isn't an agent, then he prolly knew everything about that car but chose to cash in on it. Reputation and integrity all flushed down the drain over nothing. Truth is, I'm still a bit in shock. However, Cityhood, I'd plead with you to find a way of compensating the OP. You should have done this and could have prevented this from coming to the forum. This will not just cause people to be mindful of you but send a rippling effect towards your colleagues in the section. The stories are just too much against you, and while you might not be able to atone for all, I'd suggest you resolve this last one. You might be a middleman or not, as stated in your post, but the key thing to succeeding when it comes to business is trust and integrity. I just hope you correct this so that you won't join the long list of once upon a time trusted sellers on here.

MsDelilah:
And what exactly is that going to solve? All he'd lose is his Nairaland account. Big deal! Having a Nairaland account isn't an achievement. Only God knows what other forums he's using to scam people.

Op has lost millions of Naira. Deleting cityhood's nairaland account doesn't solve a damn thing.

You're posing as a nuisance on the thread and it's awfully annoying. I really don't understand where you're driving at with this.

BreadandBeans:

I found myself staring at this and laughing for well over five minutes

hakimi1974:
this is why i like the catholics, they hardly mix politics with religion, na adeboye use him hand smear himself with poo.

Fr. Mbaka is from Deeper Life, àbí?

freeze001:
I do not see what political assertion he made. Is it that Fayose has done a good job protecting his state and that he's proud of him or what? Is he not the governor and no.1 person of the state? Who else would such a statement be directed to?

When other priests and pastors heap accolades on whichever APC leader they're addressing, do u hear anyone say they were bribed? So why d drama? If Fayose had been a member of the APC would the GO have been said to have made a political statement?

Either the APC would have stayed mum or not is not the argument here. It was a political statement for sure but not reckless. The implication, however, is that it has given Fayose a huge boost. This, I believe, scares the APC. Unfortunately, the thought damage control the APC thought it carried out is only the beginning of an end for them, owing to the fact that Pastor Adeboye has so many followers. And until the APC retracts its word, and openly apologize, then a whole lot might fall out of place. We're talking someone who commands authority and great influence here.

A whole lot of Redeemed members don't support the APC, even though Osinbajo remains a pastor. There are clear signs that the present administration isn't on course and hypocrisy would be the last thing on the mind of someone who is terribly affected. Asking the RCCG to boycott the APC is like acting on emotions. The assertion is political because it revolves around politics. Everyone knows this.

ALMUSTAQIM:
I SUGGEST. BABA ADEBOYE SHOULD RETRACT HIS STATEMENT A S A P

HE SHOULD AVOID SUCH IN FUTURE

MERRY XMAS TO YOU ALL

That he is sorry and didn't mean to let out those words or that he is sorry he openly criticized the APC for oppressing its oppositions just so they could silence them? He has said it and he has said it. The truth is, a rebuttal from the APC is the only damage I can see here, particularly IF the larger APC body does not apologize on behalf of the APC in Ekiti state.

Pastor E.A Adeboye is a very influential though passive man. And trust me, I meant to say what he said. Retracting would do no good, not when he has been insulted.

And why should he avoid such? Because the RCCG has a pastor son in the Presidency and so must keep quiet at the anomalies of the APC plaguing Nigeria as a whole? As much as I don't fancy pastors delving into politics, I think it is high time Christian leaders spoke up. Their silence has been the very reason some particular set of people feel they own the country. If CAN had not shamefully disgraced itself during the GEJ administration, it would at this time be the mouthpiece of Christians all over.

ALMUSTAQIM:
WHY WOULD ADEBOYE MAKE SUCH NONSENSICAL POLITICAL STATEMENT HE MADE IN THE FIRST INSTANCE

I bet you can say this of your Imam or Sheikh or whatever they're called? Because last I checked Islamic clerics in Nigeria have said worse and I didn't see you come out to refer to them as making nonsensical political statements.

Freeglobe, you have to understand that even though the G.O's statement didn't directly imply any harm, it certainly has given Fayose the boost he needed. Well, for the APC to have insulted him... It's an internal affair. They'd have to address that in time. However, things wouldn't have gone awry if he hadn't made any political assertions.

Fkforyou:
He should STFU....he was nominated he complained and now that they removed his name he is angry. He should just STFU and think twice next time before ranting online.

It doesn't mean he is not a good artist or he didn't have an amazing year but it was childish of him to ridicule the organizers of headies in front of their competitor. What if the organizers of rythym unplugged stops inviting him, is that how he would react?

The lad is stupid. He was the first to take to Instagram to play down his nomination. They disqualified him and he has become sensitive all of a sudden. I thought some people here were say he disqualified himself and not the other way around? If true, what's with the 'dem be God' rant? Dude is hurt

See People running out of the Cafe

ireneony:
Who knows. .maybe he's trying to do blood money with their Destiny

This is funny. We have to start looking away from these things and appreciate the fact that he is giving to those in need.

rokiatu:
everything is not about hating. Da f..u is wrong with ya all? Everyone is not a hater. Yes he's doing good but as for me I do good for the sake of it and only between me and the Lord. I need no public approval or praises.

We all know you do good now. How does that make you different from him?
