I don't think so. I've learnt my lesson. Once beaten, twice shy. Me and entire family had it. My kids weren't left out but theirs were mild. The onus is on me not to take the non pharmaceutical precautions lightly. I hardly fall sick. My only sickness is malaria. Within 3 days , i almost pass, I was crying to God for healing. Walking a mile became very difficult. AC became my worst enemy as my left lung collapsed completely. I thank God for His mercy. I just pity some ignorant fellows here. Who prats to fall sick? Cheers

pls create a thread to share your experience.

I just hope they are talking about Pfizer, Moderna and Oxford vaccines. I’m not taking any other brand outside of these three.

You know those are the RNA vaccines that conspiracy theorists are scared of, right?

ensamy:
Covid-19 is just been given too much publicity , I tested positive after a feeling a little unwell and finding out malaria was negative. After treating the fever , since then nothing, no lost of smell or test, everything is just ok. In fact malaria is even more deadlier because if it was malaria I could have been lying down with antimalarial. I just decided to go into isolation . But nothing , I feel great.

From the beginning we have known that COVID is not deadly to most people especially if they are young and lack pre-existing conditions. So your experience is typical. The problem is that when you catch it, you may transmit it to someone who is more vulnerable, and the person may die. How would it feel to bury your parents or grandparents knowing that you killed them by passing this selectively deadly disease to them?

The first report didn't say that Osinbajo called for suspension of NYSC. This is a red herring and strawman attack, really.

I absolutely agree with the doctors. NYSC should have conducted virtual orientation and deployed corpers directly to their places of assignment.

Do you still need ?

Yes, please.

There was a time a new church was opened close to my parents house. I was around 12 years then. I climbed the railings to peep. They were having praise and worship session and I saw the most miraculous sight. Right above the church, was a ladder from heaven. On top of the ladder was a throne with a majestic figure seated and angels were ascending and descending down the stairs of the ladder.
I was in awe that day.

What did the angels do when they got to the top of the ladder? Did the ladder have two lanes to allow simultaneous ascent and descent?

NwaliE01:
If you see how mosque jam-packed on Friday with zero social distance or even face mask

Why not produce the evidence (pictures, videos) and see what happens?

Bump. The time is ripe to look into this case again.

Thanks for working hard on this thread.

tobechi74:
Did you notice that covid 19 pandemic has increased since vaccine came out.

Because of the weather, duh. Everyone knew it would resurge in the winter period.

CodeTemplar:
Pls what's the difference between the gathering in Shiloh and that of others like mosques and elections?

Many countries around the world have traced major outbreaks to churches and mosques. Very few outbreaks have been linked to elections.

donnie:
They are going to get Media personalities, actors politicians etc. to take the vaccine and make it public to show it's harmless. But they're all part of the same Satanic system. Many don't even believe the bible... others just to save their jobs.

I look forward to reading your comments when more rational pastors like Pa Adeboye and Sam Adeyemi accept the vaccine. Will you claim that they are part of the satanic system too?

Personally I am shocked to learn that they were allowed to have physical services at Shiloh. There's no faster way to spread a virus nationwide, than a large gathering in which strict adherence to COVID protocols comes across as a lack of faith, with participants from all over the country.

Many people faint after receiving injections. Experienced nurses often ask patients to sit or lie down for a while after receiving their injections.

Spray herbicide like glysophate generously on the suckers as they come up. This will kill the plants all the way to the roots below ground.

Guys, how are you doing? I would like to obtain 50 to 1000 seeds of rice for a garden experiment. Can anyone here supply this to me?

Syphax:
So in your opinion, 2 million civilians died as a result of hunger not because of aerial bombardments from the Nigerian Air force? If 2 million died because of hunger, how many Biafrans died from gunshots and bombs? Seun, this your agenda is dead on arrival. Don't blame Ojukwu, blame Awolowo that advised the Federal Government to use hunger and starvation as a weapon of warfare. It was inhumane!

I am not sure that the Nigerian government had a choice. No country can remain stable if states can unilaterally leave the union, taking valuable resources away with them. If they allowed Biafra to secede, other states with resources would have tried to do the same thing later. It’s a slippery slope. If Biafra had been successful, Ojukwu would have done whatever he had to do to prevent the South South from leaving Biafra with their oil.

Many Igbos felt that Ojukwu’s decision to secede was premature and unwise, though they still had to fight for Biafra to protect their kinsmen. Ojukwu did it at that particular time because Gowon tried to break the Eastern region that he controlled into multiple states, which would have taken away his control of the region. So there was an element of selfishness there.

On 27 May 1967, Gowon proclaimed the division of Nigeria into twelve states. This decree carved the Eastern Region in three parts: South Eastern State, Rivers State, and East Central State. Now the Igbos, concentrated in the East Central State, would lose control over most of the petroleum, located in the other two areas.

On 30 May 1967, Ojukwu declared independence of the Republic of Biafra.

joseph1832:
now from this video and the post you shared can't you see there's a difference?

The significant difference I’ve noticed is that I stated as fact some things that were very strongly implied by the report. Also, out of context, I made it seem as if Nzeogwu was the sole mastermind of the coup.

Please kindly look for Adewale Ademoyega's book: Why We Struck and read it. You'll understand better.

What are the key facts you learned from that book, which you want me to learn when I read it?

You called Nzeogwu a monster I wonder what you'll call the politicians of those days.

What kind of person orders soldiers to shoot anti-tank weapons at a governor’s house and then executes one of them on the spot for being reluctant to comply? What kind of person shoots at a group of civilians including women and children? What kind of person executes an unarmed leader who is beloved by his people, and his senior wife, instead of just arresting him?

joseph1832:
Might I ask where you get this information from?

Adewale Ademoyega who was one of the coup plotters gave a different narration from this.

I’ll try to find his account and read it and see how it differs.

This report is my main source:

Major Nzeogwu, who was armed with a sterling SMG, ordered the constables to face the wall. Attah complied with this order but the three others refused. Without further ado, Major Nzeogwu immediately opened fire on them with his SMG killing all three on the spot.

146. Immediately after the killing of the policemen, Major Nzeogwu ordered the two men with the guns and the 3 NMTC Sergeants to follow him into the compound, bringing with them the Carl Gustav guns and the projectiles for these weapons.

147. Immediately inside the compound, Major Nzeogwu stationed the Carl Gustavs some 10 yards apart facing the lodge. The gunners were Sgts. Oyegeke and Manga, whilst Sgt. Adebiyi acted as ammunition number. As soon as both guns had been loaded, Major Nzeogwu ordered the NCOs to open fire at the Lodge. Both fired their projectiles bursting inside the ground floor rooms of the building. Sgt. Adebiyi stated that he then ran towards Sgt. Manga to help this NCO reload.

Whilst he was with Manga he heard Major Nzeogwu shouting repeatedly "Fire you bastard, fire". Immediately after this both Manga and Adebiyi heard a burst of SMG fire. They turned round and observed Sgt. Oyegoke slumped on the ground bleeding from multiple wounds. It was clear to both that their colleague had been killed by Major Nzeogwu either for refusing to obey or because he attempted to run away.

143. After the killing of Oyegeke, Major Nzeogwu ordered Sgt. Adebiyi to take over Oyegeke's gun and to continue firing at the house. Both Adebiyi and Manga, frightened by Oyegoke's killing, continued to fire as ordered. They used a total of 5 projectiles. As a result the building caught fire

149. Whilst all this was happening, 2/Lst. Waribor and Omeruah had arrived with the men from 3rd BN who were rapidly deployed around the outer perimeter wall of the lodge. Although these men heard the bursting of the Carl Gustav projectiles, the SMG and SLR fire and the screaming of women and children inside the compound, they were in no position to observe what was happening.

150. 2/Lt. Waribor, whilst deploying his men, instructed them to shoot anyone they observed attempting to leave the compound. A number of civilians, including women, however, were seen running and crying and Major Nzeogwu firing at them with his SMG

151. NA 502342 Cpl. Yakubu Kaje of 3rd BN NA reports that, at a given moment, he observed a civilian coming out of the Lodge armed with a sword. The corporal and the men with him stopped the civilian and ordered him to drop the sword. At this moment, according to the corporal, Major Nzeogwu arrived on the scene and asked the civilian, in Hausa, for the whereabouts of the "master of the house". The man replied that he did not know, whereupon Major Nzeogwu threatened to kill him unless he led him to his master. The man then agreed and led Major Nzeogwu to the back of the building. A shortwhile afterwards, the corporal states, he heard a number of shots fired. Assuming that Kaje is telling the truth, it is probable that the Sardauna of Sokoto died at that moment.

152. Cpl. Kaje has further reported that when the firing ceased, Major Nzeogwu came from the compound and was met at the gate by 2/Lt. Waribor, who asked the Major: "Did you get the man?", to which Nzeogwu answered, "Yes". When Major Nzeogwu left the compound he stated for all to hear, exultantly, "I have been successful, he is dead".

153. It has not been possible to establish the circumstances in which the senior wife of the deceased Premier was killed. The same applies to the death of one Zaruni, the Premier's personal body-guard. It is presumed that they died at the same time as the Premier.

Here’s Nzeogwu’s proud description which convinced me that he’s a monster:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ2pcLO9HSc

sixtus3606:
You have spoken well. However, I'd like you to pinpoint the mistakes which Zik and the likes made in the early days. Thank you.

Zik was aware of the first coup and did nothing to try to stop it. Instead, he went on an extended trip outside the country. He didn’t warn the other leaders who were targeted for assassination by the coupists. He only cared about saving his own skin. One of the coupists, Ifeajuna, was a ‘cousin’ to Zik and probably warned him.

Nzeogwu was a heartless beast who thought his military training gave him the right to execute the elected leaders of the land and the wisdom to select a better leader for the country. He personally killed three of the security guards at Ahmadu Bello’s house, shot war weapons at the house, setting the roof on fire, shot dead a fellow coupist who hesitated to follow his murderous orders, shot at women and children running away from the house, and shot the Sardauna dead along with his wife. The plan was to arrest the leaders and kill them if they resisted, but Nzeogwu wanted them dead, so he killed them.

When Nzeogwu’s coup “failed”, General Aguiyi-Ironsi immediately conducted his own coup by forcing the civilian leaders who were supposed to take over to hand over power to him instead. Our democracy would have survived if he stood by the government and allowed the democratic leaders next in line to the those murdered to rule, but he did not. He captured the coupists who had murdered numerous leaders but didn’t put them on trial. He then created a decree that would concentrate power in his hands, which infuriated the north.

Igbo have suffered a lot in this country. Thousands of Igbos were killed in the north in 1966, and many more have been killed in religious riots since. 2 million civilians died in the civil war. Sadly, the Igbo men above contributed greatly to their troubles.

I am reluctant to add Ojukwu to this list. With the massive killing of Igbos, their return to the South East, and the failure of Gowon to respect the terms of the Aburi accord, his decision to secede was understandable and popular. However, it was a mistake. Once Ojukwu realized that he could no longer feed his people, he should have negotiated terms of surrender, but he waited until 2 million civilians had died.

Now that the message has sunk in with our neighbours, we’re looking into reopening the borders as soon as possible

So we closed our land borders for a whole year just to send a "message" to our neighbours? What message? That we are a little bit crazy?

[s]If Amotekun is shaping up to be a Yoruba Taliban, I think they should be cast aside in favour of youths hired and trained directly by elected government officials who answer to the people, and the laws of each state. [/s]

If the president’s tribe matters, which it should not, I think it would clearly be the turn of an Igbo or other south-eastern person to hold the position in 2023. The north would have held power for 11 years, and the south west for 8 years. If we group GEJ with the South East, it would still be their turn since he ruled for only 5 years.

If we can get a very good Igbo president in 2023, their yearning for separation will gradually fade away. Hopefully the Igbo president will not make the same mistakes that Zik, Nzeogwu and Ironsi made in the early days. Mistakes that set the country on a dark path.

Where do 'prospective' corpers stay when they are awaiting the results of the COVID test?

Why should a government that wants to diversify the economy and strengthen the naira, impose rules that will make exportation more difficult?

Opera mini

The Nigerian Army has said with the benefit of hindsight, it would not have taken a different action if presented again with a scenario similar to the October 20 shooting incident at the Lekki Tollgate. The Nigerian Army made the assertion on Saturday at the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry for Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and Other Matters.

Representing the Army was Brig.-Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, Commander of the 81 Division, Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island. He made the assertion while being cross-examined by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

“Given the same set of circumstances, the military would have acted in the same way. After every operation, we usually do an After Action Review and come up with lessons learnt. “I have looked at the tollgate issue with the same set of facts. We wouldn’t have acted differently,” he said.

Responding to questions from Mr Bernard Oniga, the lawyer representing the NBA, the witness explained why the army did not take the alternative route which avoided the tollgate if they were clearing up the Eti-Osa corridor as claimed.“The discretion was at the hands of the commander, they were attacked by hoodlums and they responded,” he said.

I'm literally speechless. If you thought they lied because they were ashamed of what they did, you were wrong.

@CrazyCrane: what was your experience with OptiMax dry food, now that you have tried it?

DavIkenna:
But I don't get American and dis high records yet massive turn up on streets. People not wearing mask or anything.

Kind of think they are tagging other sickness with familiar symptoms as covid19 hence the high numbers. Or politics to bring down Trumps govt.

Don’t you think their high numbers are likely to be a result of the massive turn up on the streets and non-wearing of masks that you observed?
