Nonsense... Am I the only who's beginning to get tired of all this trial against GEJ'S administration?? The present administration should stop attempting to distract the masses from our current economic woes. It's not like they are even better. PRESIDENT BUHARI, IT'S HIGH TIME YOU STARTED EXECUTING YOUR CHANGE AGENDA AMD STOPPED ALL THESE DISTRACTIONS...

Obviously you are the only one. And truth be told, it's not important to post since you have nothing meaningful to dish out. Perhaps you would have been so deep in this if you had a soldier as a relative. For crying out loud, we're talking about the single-handed råpe of a country by some so-called bigwigs cum miscreants who have shared the Nations' money like some sports bet winnings.

The evidences are stronger than it was and the ground seems to be crumbling from being a well to a lake. For all it's worth, I'm beginning to see reasons PEJ was worried about her husband languishing in jail. Olisa Metuh has since kept shut because he understands that this is not just a propaganda. NOI who used to run her mouth anyhow has played the role of Pontius Pilate; GEJ is mute and has been roped in already as by NOI.

In the words of the president; "Don't fear me, fear the consequences of your actions."

I pity anyone who will share this. Saharareporters is now witch hunting people and they should be stopped asap. I believe the ceo of sahararepoters is a 419 guy else how and by what connection does he get peoples passports or get prompt notification of peoples credit card activiies. Let's first ask the man if he himself is a saint. Can he guarantee that every other govt official dont have foreign accounts

Dino calm down. We are in the enlightenment era. Soon, politicians will start taking the masses seriously. That Sahara exposed you does not mean they're on a witch-hunting spree. Why did you choose to be a witch in the first place knowing you'd be hunted

Leave Sowore to do his thing. Yesterday he was close to you, today you're sworn enemies. We all know his present sponsors will one day become his enemies but for the time being, let us bask in the euphoria of your corrupt practices.

Arochukwu tradition i guess i hate dis yeye tradition. if na me i will go and do my church weddn rubbish!!!

Arochukwu or not, you seem to be missing the most important detail here; fijk's mother-in-law to be was not married the proper, which makes the late husband to the MIL to be a thief, according to custom. Normally, the woman's kinsmen anticipate moments as this to remind such persons that their daughter was never married to him. Hence, they control and dictate the life and affair of the children. Bearing this in mind, say the man was alive, it would be impossible still for any wedding to take place because the said church you mentioned would also want the approval of the father and mother of the girl who's about to wed. It would spell greater shame and humiliation at that time should the girl's mother family say no. The so-called father would be useless in this regard because he failed to do what was right and the entire drama would end up being a greater shame to the poor girl who was supposed to get married without hassles.

If you don't understand that passage, it would have been better you threw it out so it could be better interpreted to you!

Judah wanted Onan to continue Er's lineage after being slain by God. Onan consented to his father's idea and went in to Tamar, the wife of Er. The idea and instruction of Judah was simple; lie with her so that she may conceive. But Onan had other ideas; he withdrew just before climax and spilled his semen on the floor. The implication was clear; he never wanted to continue Er's generation and at that point, the concept of responsibility was removed and it became that of fornication/adultery.

What is wrong with you people Don't bring rubbish here just because you were not properly guided into understanding what happened. Don't turn the Scripture inside out to make some absurd point. I just hope it's not some half baked pastors who handed this theory to you.

B?tch U need to calm the fvck down!!!
U must think u are some kind of Superstar cuz u typed this crap.
Have u ever heard the word "fornication" and do u know it's a sin?
I bet u haven't.

I'm sure she has. And have you ever heard the word "cussing" *Col 3:8 *Ephesians 4:29 *James 3:10 *Matt 15:11 *Matt 12:36 *Pro 8:13 *2Tim 2:16
Now, tell me, who's more righteous and holier between the both of you

OMG! Are u a muslim fundamentalist??

Unfortunately, I think he is. And to think that he cited countries dominated by Islam makes it obvious. Religion has a way of messing one's life.

Miggs:
this is what happens when u teach women how 2 read and write.they go haywire.a young woman bragging abt frequently having sex wit her boyfriend.this is d civilisation my grandfather gave his life for?this is why I believe d best place 4 a woman is d kitchen.I also believe women shld be seen and not heard.Thank God countries like saudi arabia,iran and afghanistan still exist.the men in those societies know d right way 2 control women wit an ironfist

This your ideology is crude! Haba!! That a young lady clearly expresses her views on sex does not mean education on the female folks are a disaster waiting to happen. And to think she gave a rejoinder that subtly kills your belief is most disturbing. Her response not only shows she is educated but also enlightened. Yorubas would describe her as "Eni ti o ka iwe, ti o tun ka ogbon ori".

The world knows that men in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Afghanistan, with all their wealth, are nothing but inferior and insecure. Hence, the reason for relegating their women to the background.

I hope you change this 15th century mentality and see that males and females are the same, gender wise. We're Africans but the world is not where it used to be. The earlier you start telling yourself this, the better it would be for you to come to terms with the fact that what makes us is not what was passed down to us but what we understand, believe and have adopted as true and sincere.

That bush baby is called egbere in yoruba land.
Legend has it that, the egbere has a mat that it carries around, this mat is belived to have mystical powers, It is also belived that anybody that steals the mat from the egbere will have to endure the crying. This means that the egbere[/b]will stay by the window side of the person every night, crying and begging the person to return its mat.. If such a person can endure the crying for some weeks, the [b]egbere will leave the person.. Afterwards, such a person will get stinkingly rich.

There are plenty of other yoruba myths, i will be back with more.

*modified*

There are also allegations of Bush rats having mystical powers. Bush rats are called okete (im not sure if i got the spelling).

There has been different stories of Bush Rats[/b]having the ability to turn into human beings on market days and go to the market and buy food..

There are also some hunters that have allegedly seen these bush rats in the jungle at night, walking with their two hind legs and carrying stuffs like yams, fruits, etc on their heads and walking like human beings.
Now, i can attest to this coz, i once went hunting with my friends in my village before and when we were trying to fish a [b]bush rat out of its hole, we found ingridents like maggi, onion e.t.c inside its hole.. (we ran for our lives )


My dad also told me once that if you wash a mortar, and you use the water from it to wash your face, then proceed to any market spuare, you will have the ability to see ghosts and different demons in form of human beings that come and buy food..(i have not tried this oo)

"Sigidi" means effigy in Yoruba language. What you're referring to is "Egbere"; known for its endless, annoying cries before being seen or spotted. When a child cries continuously in Yoruba land, such a child is said to cry like an "Egbere".

*Then there is the myth of inviting snakes when you whistle at noon.
*Another myth is that of the broom being used on a male child. Belief has it that such a child's joystick would shrink

Can't remember most for now though.
Damn! An Urhobo guy deeply rooted into the Yoruba culture

I knew Buhari was going to intimidate/bully Dasuki into choosing the option of either implicating GEJ falsely or rotting in the detention.



The worst part of it is that the gullible people here are swallowing this crap hook, line and sinker.




Buhari's jealousy for GEJ has been intensified after the later was honoured in New York and Tanzania.



Propagandists are at work again.

Biafra land tribes are numerous but the most populour that I know are Ogoja, Edoma, Obudu, Ikom, Ugep, Efuk, Oron, Ibibio, Anang, Ogoni, Opobo, Ijaw, Andoni,(Itshekiri,Urhobho), Ogba, Egbema, Ndoni, Igbos. Though most populous is Igbo there is still a need to understand that these autonomous nations have lived together as neighbours and kinsmen even before the time of Adam. Its said the Ijaws are one of the oldest settlers in Biafra. It was also an Ijaw man who reminded Ojukwu to use the true name of the indigenous republic "Biafra". Even before Oyinbo came Biafrans had norms and values which prevented neighbours from annihilating themselves.It wasn't Oyinbo or colonization that taught Biafran people government or infact democracy. To date each of the autonomous nations are governed by a very republican type of govt. With council of elders/chiefs, Community development council(think tank),the youths and of course the Women. Biafran Women have always played a big role in govt and in most Biafran autonomous nations like Orlu/Njaba clan of Imo the indigenous women were the highest arbitration body, known and revered the agaba or umuada will sit on appeal over cases already adjudicated on by the Umunna.
I hope as I am only a student of Biafran history that I have not missed anyone as there are so many if so please update me and if anyone could help with the natural languages spoken by each one.

NEVER count Urhobo as a part of the Biafran Struggle, please don't.

Ohaneze has always conducted itself like a lapdog and that they stayed mute over the killings is an indication that the group fears the government. I don't blame them. Those who defied the NA's orders to protest knew what they were getting into.

Truth is, the situation is very messy and complicated. Even if your mother-in-law to be has the money, she cannot be her own bride price. And for your wife-to-be's siblings whom you think don't want to do it, they cannot pay their mum's bride price, never. Even if they're wealthy to high heavens, tradition does not allow. They didn't marry their mother; their father did.

The same applies to you. You cannot pay the bride price because that would mean you're your mother-in-law's husband.

The best thing to do at this point is for the girl and her siblings to look for their father's relatives. Hopefully, if an older brother is around, then it would be easier as they could plead with him to clear his late brother's (their father's) mess.

Betterstill, the siblings should locate the person acting as the head of their father's family to gather his people and pay what their late brother owe. It looks simple but then again, it's complicated.

PS: For those asking you to pay, ask them if they have a representative that would stand in gap for the late man because it's not about the money now. A mini-ceremony would be conducted just to make everything formal.

Truckpusher:
Sometimes I keep wondering what people see in these festivities that will make them do anything to look good and wonderful.

I thanked God for my parents the day an ex girlfriend of mine made my life a living hell because I didn't buy her anything or give her money for Xmas.
Growing up for me during Xmas or any other festivity wasn't a big deal - My parents won't buy you anything for any special day and woe betides you if you compare with other kids or murmur about it even in the faintest of voice, they will screw up your entire life that period
At a point I didn't like it but when I grew up and started seeing how young people and adults get into serious problems because of one useless day called one thing , then I appreciated it.

Some parents will go at any length to make kids feel that Xmas period is a time to dress well and look good but what if you can't afford it ? But you stress yorself to afford it - this will send a wrong signal to any child that it is normal to go to any length because of Xmas and kids will naturally pick these traits into adulthood.
Teach your children on how to feel good about themselves even if they don't have new toys and cloths for special days before their adulthood will become a nightmare all in the name of meeting up or trying to satisfy their immediate society.

Let him go and smell jail abeg, that's one criminal out of the streets.

It's not about the parents, trust me. As a teen, the world was thrown at our feet every Christmas. We get all we ask and dream of. I could remember we would go to the beach then, visit other members of the family and so on, but time and age have taken those things away. I sleep like no man's business during Christmas now (if I'm not watching a movie in the house, that is); it doesn't freak me one bit.

Unfortunately, the same does not apply to most people who leave their families to make ends meet. They have this weird mentality of "I will show them when I get home". Hence, the reason for stooping so low to do whatever just to brag when they get to their villages.

Other than eat and watch movies, Christmas is just a fanfare. Those who carry it on their head like afro are nothing but kids.

kings09:
If only they knw they r coming to sing 4 hypocrites whose religious beliefs dnt reflect in their lives. D more gospel events organized by d many churches , d more our society n values degrades. Do so-called experience starts n ends inside TBS. By d way, y will I leave my house n go dat far js2 worship God wen I can still do same in my room n my prayers r answered. #Hypocrites

They don't sing FOR Nigerians, neither do they sing to them. They sing FOR God and to God. What they only do is to create an atmosphere. Trust me, not everyone is moved even during worship sessions at The Experience.

Acidosis:
Just a gathering of collective sinners who go to concert with their sex partners to "worship" God.


If you really want to worship God, you won't leave your home for TBS to listen to Rastafarians and commercial street buddies like Frank.


Don Moen is the ONLY man I respect and recognize as a Gospel Artist among the fellas. He is a true worshipper but I condemn his association with Fake Gospel artist we raise in this part of the world.

Nigerian Gospel artistes and patronizers should stop embarrassing the face of Christianity. All thanks to Nathaniel Bassey, Panam Percy Paul, Solomon Lange* and a few others who still uphold the symbols of TRUE Worship in their musical videos.

Who still call Frank Edward or Joe Praiz gospel artists? Lol. 'Experience' organisers should have done a good balance by inviting M.I, Wizkid & Terry G.

Christ-Embassy raised gospel artists like Frank and others have finally destroyed the gospel musical business in Nigeria. All thanks to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome whose wife has just filed a divorce on allegations of corruption and worldliness


Heaven knows I won't attend such a gathering. I'd rather visit a club house or olosho quarters than dine with 'this.'


BTW, I hope they invited some comedians like AY and Alibaba??

I've always known you to be dumb and illogical but this is just so the height of it. The likes of you go to the Redemption Camp acting like the Pharisees, yet you leave empty despite the many prophecies and heart lifting moments.

Yes, there are many Rastafarians as you called them but then again, "the gift of God is without repentance." so says the Scripture. Perhaps you need to broaden your horizon and get off the comfort of Tope Alabi and co.

Paul was Saul, a persecutor of Christ's people until God had his time; Peter was a liar who outrightly denied Christ, still, God did not hold back from using him. David was murderer, a cheat and selfish man, still, God did not end His relationship with him. Kirk Franklin was a street thug; did drugs and lived the thug life. Today, he's one of the best as far as worshipping God is concerned. Donnie McClurkin was gay; today he is one of the best worship tools in the world. My point? It is not in your place to determine who God uses and flows through.

Perhaps, Judas Iscariot would have become the greatest Apostle in the Bible if he wasn't so hard on himself and chosen to commit suicide. People like you are the sham in Christianity.

Worship is all about preference; I'd rather listen to Kirk Franklin or Shevelle Franklin than listen to Don Moen. And thank God you're not Pastor Paul Adefarasin.

Your righteousness robes must be bigger than that of Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Samuel and Jesus' combined.

Yeye dey smell

I'm tired of seeing Donnie McClurkin and Don Moen. Wish I could make it to Lagos to see just one person tonight - Hezekiah Walker!

I think it is rather unfortunate that Nigerians have come to terms with brandishing and embracing corrupt practices/corruption. At the end, he'll get a discharge certificate claiming he served with "vigour" and "enthusiasm" when, in reality, he served his pockets, touring the world.

I honestly wonder how South Africa pushed us from our corruption spot.

sameer1212:
Hmmm. Make dem no touch northerners there o. It will only take 24hours for an hausa man to kill many Igbos.

GOD bless Nigeria.

They'll attack Northerners sooner or later and that would be the last straw. I'm presently in the South East and I've witnessed a confrontation between a woman and an hausa porter (the first); then a man and another Hausa porter (the second) all within the same place in Enugu.

It's only a matter of time...

"Millions of traders scampeering"

Journalists

Not just any journalist. This is the handiwork of a Biafran sympathiser. Notice the emphasis on the JTF assaulting "unarmed peaceful protesters" who ended up regrouping and destroying vehicles.

I don't support the killing of any 'sane' Nigerian; they have been warned before now by the Nigerian army and they seem unfazed. Let no one cry victim at this point. So sad about the lives lost. No struggle is worth dying for.

Good to be back though.

The four should produce the rest of the group. This is really troublesome. OP, please take Menix's advice.
