₦airaland Forum

Operatives of special operations unit of the NDLEA are doing great.

*Honestly the way Anambra got this drug thing on lockdown should be properly studied. Not saying we don't have bad eggs everywhere but this is total domination.

danvon:
What is your point exactly?

Were the founding fathers of USA Catholics or Pentecostals?

My point is clear and followed the trail of conversation. No need to shift goalpost

SeriouslySense:
hmm i may agree

Wrong! There are lots of catholic converts. Visit a nearby Catholic charities center and hear their stories. They don't make noise because they are not "commercialized" in the new age pentecostal sense, so no need for aggressive marketing and publicity.

I don't think you live in the USA or familiar with what you are delving into. Your thoughts and facts are two different things. There were reports on publications and even my local TV on this. You don't even need to look at those, drive by a catholic church in the US on Saturday evening and all day on Sundays.

Also, here is a link on a related report:

danvon:
Nope it does not.

Its very hard to see a catholic nowadays whose parents or spouse were not catholic.

Again, my nepotism point.

Yet Catholic church grows steadily in the USA till today.

danvon:
Catholic church is too nepotistic, everything from being a member of choir to being a layreader depends on who you know, how much you have, how connected you are.

The word nepotism itself originated from the catholic church, go and verify.

Its no wonder that merit based societies like USA had a very pentecostal foundation.

Eni ire lo.

Honestly I thought South East would be 0 or at most 2 appointments

lagonovo:
I swear

That's why they reap what they sow everywhere and it's sad knowing that there are many good ones among them suffering as collateral damage. Even in their main church, the catholic church, the Ibos are well known for their wahala.

sniperwolf:
We celebrate nonsense inthis country. What's special about Buhari other than being a former President?

You have answered your own question. Some are still scrambling all over the place to become president and most will never have that privilege.

Yes, that is Atiku Abubakar for you and you have to understand and factor that into your political analysis when he is involved

Angelfrost:
That's why he continues to waste his money and time contesting and losing every cycle.

If he had backed Jonathan in 2015, he would be in his second term by now.


Such a desperate and shortsighted Politician.

You see Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw, Fulani, Efik, Kanuri or Tiv turn or maybe SW, SW, SS, NW, NE, NC turn while others see North and South turn only. Politics has never been 1+1=2 and there will always be elements of selfishness unless you are being naive or dishonest, join party and fight your own battle.

Heffalump:
2027 should be the turn of the Igbos. I'm not selfish by this reasoning. In a balanced political scenario, tge SE deserves the presidency in 2027. Tinubu robbed his way into office in 2023. May he never succeed again. The only albatross there is Atiku, who's equally greedy as Tinubu. Both old men have nothing tangible in exchange for power.

If you do follow politics then you would have not only heard but be emphatically aware that Atiku does not give a damn about any gaddem rotation

bigpicture001:
U dnt follow politics at all... Haven't u heard or noticed we running a rotational presidency btw the north and south...?

Try and understand that, Atiku will step down for the southern candidates and support Obi but on condition on a one term tenure

Obi is always Atiku's boy and he is not complaining. It's his supporters that don't know his place, he knows

That's why they are always hungry after just a couple of years not being in power

mannobi:
Well done the new minister. Aregbe was a catastrophe at that interior ministery

Neglected areas of basic governance (after almost 65 years of independence) finally getting some real attention. Slowly but surely!

adamkkk:
even if he awards his destiny to everybody. He will still not get re elected. He hates his own people .

Anambrians should be wise. Since the likes of Yarimo and those that hate the igbos are supporting Soludo, that is a call to reject him.

Cos dey will never want any good for the Igbos.

Anyways am not Igbos, just advising u guys

Very good advice to all involved by Chukwudi from Ekwulobia. By the way, Chukwudi is not Igbos he is just advising u guys .

Agulu-Nnobi to Nnewi

You are doing well Soludo, the best governor ever in the entire history of Anambra State .

I remember him for completing the 2nd Niger Bridge and his impact on the railway system. His name shall never be forgotten. Sai Buhari!

The chief cho cho cho of Nairaland don find food. Oya bombard them with mumu questions

lexy2014:
is he working for his security details and his family or his working for nigerians?

Thank you, this is the type of conversation we should be having but some people are permanently stuck in election mode.

nairalanda1:
True that, but the main issue is, Abuja does not have a good enough transport system.

If they had maintained what el rufai did, and improved on it, and even added an intra-city rail system (like what Lagos is trying to do) it would have reduced incidence of this nonsense.

BUt even then, in UK , a woman entered a proper taxi, and was murdered by the same taxi driver. We can hope to reduce, not to eradicate. But reduction good.

Yes, we can always agree to disagree on this one.

Kalulu44:
But the hospital is still crying out for who knows her or her family. See everyone with his or her believe. To me I don't see anything wrong with posting a dead or unconscious person picture.

Leave those ones, I don't understand why our people love watering down issues with irrelevant points.
This is an unacceptable situation and we can do better but we do have crime in London, Manchester, Chicago, New York, Dallas, Paris etc. Crime is what criminals do, and it's always an ongoing battle.

nairalanda1:
Yes o, tinubu should do better, but this problem has been here for over 15 years.

Even under GEJ, there was one chance, live.

"even with the picture shown has anyone come to identify" - from your own mouth

If you go missing, your family will reach out to the police and if news like this comes out they will reach out to them for identification. Identification is not officially done with pictures.

Kalulu44:
And what if nobody knows his or her whereabout, isn't that picture the surest way to know.
The Abuja lady that is still in the hospital who was brought in unconscious, even with the picture shown has anyone come to identify her not to talk of if they didn't post her picture at all.

Why do you have to confirm that they are dead with a picture?

Kalulu44:
Death is death, seeing their picture that way especially in the news confirm the news that he or she is dead. So what else will it cost to me that hasn't already happened

Hope you are aware that dead bodies are prepared for funeral and this has been a practice across humanity since the beginning of time.
There is a difference between a body discovered on the road side and one already prepared for funeral. It is part of human dignity.

Kalulu44:
But during the funeral they'll still see her dead body, what's then the difference

The friends will know when the family announces the funeral, with dignity.

Kalulu44:
What's the meaning of this blur blur blur I am always hearing. Will blurring her face bring her back? Apart from her family, how will friends know it's her if they blur it.

God forbid, but think of your loved ones. A dead body belongs to a family and some loved ones. Give most of them a chance to find out in a more controlled and dignified way.

Kalulu44:
What's wrong with posting pictures of dead bodies, how would she have been identified.

What gave you that impression? One chance has been in Abuja for quite a long time. I have heard of one chance in Abuja as far back as 2015.

bionixs:
It was only in Lagos we heard one chance. When did Abuja start their own?

100% supported! These merciless animals should not be shown the slightest hint of mercy in this world and beyond.

dederocs:
See why we must sentence kidnappers and armed robbers to death and execution...

Kudos to our great President Tinubu and more directly, the governor of my great state of Anambra, the globally respected Professor Chukwuma Soludo for finally bringing civilization to my village, Agulu.

We the people of Agulu appreciate those who appreciate us by giving us real development including former President Muhammadu Buhari who gave us the wonderful 2nd Niger Bridge that we are all quietly enjoying today

You are earning less than minimum wage and you are spending N35,000 at a go on something that does not generate money. You are mad. Use your brain, invest or multiply that money first.
