Obviously 5 can't be more feared than 1

kenddys:
be talking nonsense

people that have asked Trump to start sending coffins

Of course, i do recall a Saddam promising the mother of all wars no?

Theflint1:
And waste the better part of his life? Man looks to have got a good deal escaping.

He had already served 11 years.

Crownbefitsme:
In Nigeria here..
They will tell you dat dey have paid for your food

N also remind d waiter
Some waiters are not smiling
Some of them will still collect money for the food they paid for

Your last sentence explains your first.

vickydankal:
It is really subtle, especially if a lady is a church person like me. I gave my husband green, blue, brown even white light before he could understand.

Attack him
Appreciate him
Laugh at his jokes that are not funny
For the spiritual ones. Tell him I'm praying for him
Find an opportunity to talk/greet to him
Second his comment in meetings etc

I honestly doubt the vast majority of guys would read any meaning into the bolded.

lalanice:
go take up the case na! Was it not his bed room? How does he not have right

If I were a Chinese lawyer I would if I were approached. As I'm not and have not, I cannot. Therefore "go take up the case" is neither an argument nor a defence to my argument.

It was their bedroom in their marital home.

lalanice:
anybody that takes up such a case for her is stupid, she is a disgrace to mankind, she not only cheated on her man, she did it with her brother in law.

That will be one shameful case to follow up

There is no shame in Court. Your shameful acts do not rob you of your fundamental rights, and any lawyer taking up such a case would be quite normal.

englishmart:
1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6
This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven.
Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people
Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism.
If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess."
Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe)
Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.

3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead?
I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue.
I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence.
I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.

4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most.
The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people
Repulsive comments are highly welcome

Which verse in the Bible says do not drink?

Look I want to engage you without you feeling attacked. You have got several scriptures wrong. Deuteronomy 14 prescribes four portions of tithe to be shared while you also eat yours: one for the Levites, one for the alien, one for the orphan, and one more class I don't recall which may be widows. Now it also specified where the tithe is to be eaten, which is within the temple grounds.

Learn to do complete research.

Sunofgod:
She's finished mourning and wants her compensation!

Not even interested in hiring a private investigator first!

Private investigator to investigate the pools suction system? And how exactly would a private investigator do that?

samdavjustin:
@op she has given you her why are u confused. She tried to love you but it just isn’t happening and she doesn’t want to waste your time. That’s a valid reason to me while you are in love with her she just isn’t loving you the same. She is a very matured girl and from a responsible home for her to tell you the truth and not sugar coat it. There are more fishes in the ocean my friend

Its that simple. OP Why speculate any y further? She doesn't love you, she said. Take her word for it and move on.

lexyman:
The essence of him to stay back in Nigeria is to be able to monitor our players in the local league ... but I am sorry the league is not organized .

I am still wondering why no single talent came out to displace on player in the whole of 2019 ...

Maybe Rohr will have to start combing the street and our grass root ... same way Clement Westerhouff did .

The game has advanced way beyond the days of Westerhoff. You are not likely to find extraordinary talents playing street football these days, or even in the league. The good ones like Stephen Odey and others currently in the national team start locally and then move to Europe very quickly because unlike back in those days, scouts are everywhere and always looking for top talent.

ColonelEmeka:
I repeat the NIA suffered zero casualty. The Airforce did most of the fighting while the ground troops did mop up.

Mop up was not an intense battle. We lost nobody

NIA?? What is the national intelligence agency doing at the battlefield?

spafu:
Why won't I read through? The difference between you and I is that I just don't take anything in his, line and sinker. Sometimes reading in between the lines could reveal some truth. If FIFA had nominated Siasia for an award or employment, there was no way that email would have been in disuse.
Maybe you also want me to believe this from Odegbami:

If Samson Siasia was involved in match-fixing it makes sense to assume it must have been with one of the teams or players he was involved with – any of the three Nigerian national teams and the players in the teams. Those were the only teams he was involved with during his entire 12 years’ career as a national team coach.

There is not one of the national teams, or one of the players that played under him throughout his career that has been named in any match-fixing charge.
When I am very much aware that a coach who has involved himself in fixing a match can do so by the caliber of players he selects and features in a given match.

Fact is, you asked a question that had already been answered in the post. Whether you believed or not is a separate issue, and of course your disbelief does not make the answer untrue.

Neoteny:
The country owes him nothing if he decides to dabble in shady businesses. He bears his cross alone.

It's his fault if he gave people an email address he doesn't use.

I wonder why sportspersons are deemed heroes to be cared and pampered for during the period of their decline, when they were paid handsomely in their prime and, instead of good investments, they squander it all on cars and drink and food and sex.

No other country feels an obligation to give pensions to expired athletes, except in Nigeria where everyone with a pen thinks it's the right thing to do.

So why don't we make the same argument for gifted students who represent the country in contests?

Lol. Many countries pay pensions to their athlete's sir.

spafu:
Mr. Mathematical Odegbami, abeg park for one side and save us this noise. Some of you made money in your playing days and we were all busy cheering you and being happy for you guys. We on our part played little football and did more of education with the hope the country will give us some employment at the end of it, but we got nothing other than hardship and unemployment. But each time any of you get sick, get unto or a problem or is a financial fix, you will call one Nigerians and the government, abeg, was it for free you played for Nigeria? Who should the rest of us call on?
With my education and above average result, I hustle outside Nigerian economy, as my signature will show.
Now let me ask, since Siasia new FIFA had the power to punish him, why did he chose not to defend himself when the opportunity was granted him?
Abeg, footballers should learn to save from their abundance today and save for the rainy day.

I'm surprised you are asking this question when the answer is the core of what Mr. Odegbami writes about. Didn't you read through?

bossinblack:
I swear!
The dude is just blinded by hate. What this law or judgement is simply saying in relation to Nigeria is that... DSS operatives can become members of bokoharam in order to fight terrorism. Even though, the law does not provide immunity for them when they are caught or arrested in the process...
DSS lawyers have to justify the reason the operatives had to join bokoharam to fight terrorism in the court.

Please, how does this justify flagrant disregard for law and abuse of human rights the DSS Is practicing in Nigeria

People don't just read to understand anymore. compounded by lazy journalism and hungry bloggers. Smh

Sound. Seems comprehension levels are not too high around these parts

ColonelEmeka:
From the report



and



I guess "saner climes" can be lawless too when it comes to National Security issues and puts it first above rule of law

laughing and *sips more wine*

From the report:

Judges on the Investigatory Powers Tribunal declared in a majority decision that MI5 has the power to permit informants to operate in criminal groups, even if the policy itself confers no legal immunity.

Lavylily this is someone else's article which you have claimed as your own!!

Davash222:
When they’re done Hoeing, they turn to feminists and start to sell Bags, Wigs and Weavon on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. That’s their meaning of empowerment and Independent.
men are getting wiser now, Una go hear am!

And there is nothing wrong with that. Please don't knock anyone's hustle.

luminouz:
Very sorry, I can't but I have definitely read this before. I never forget a compelling article.

It was even debated on,with the usual e-brawls between the genders.

Sir, you don't make such accusations without evidence. Many people have read your comment and believed you which is not fair if you're wrong. You don't have to spend hours tracing the original article, if it is copied as you claim, just copy a section of the text and paste it into Google. The original post will show.

byrron:
Former plantain seller has now lost his humility just because he no longer sells plantain abi?

Are the so called originals he claims to wear not made by another tailor from another country?

I'm a Timaya fan but this was absolutely unnecessary.

Said what I wanted to say... The plantain boy is now a braggart

zigzagluv:
I have seen it in swiss you can enter the airport to buy drinks and chill and go back home , there is the couple who having been going to the airport for the last 35 years just to have fun. ......

Yes different airports do things differently

Sprumbaba:
where? Fake news

Dakar, Senegal circa 2016; also Accra when I visited last year.

SarkinYarki:
You must be referring to the departure lounge , Airport floors are open to anyone , you must not hold a ticket to access an airport , what if one wants to buy his ticket on the airport floors or even just make enquiries about a flight...Airports like Singapore Airport are even a tourist attraction where people just come to hang out , dine and take pics

I said what I said Mr. If you need more details then ask for more info, don't read your own meanings into what I said.

By what rule must all airports operate in the same manner?

SarkinYarki:
You cannot stop people from coming into Airport floors except the departure lounge which has never been open to non travellers from time immemorial ..Are they aware airport floor contain businesses open to members of the public , I can decide to go there to use a Bureau de change or just to drink coffee made by my favorite barista

I've seen this done elsewhere....no one gets in without a ticket

PatrickOkunima:
No where in the the article did I mention that my CV writing services can solve the problem of Sexism. However, I believe it will be a bit helpful not to include personal details, especially gender. That will only be effective if the name one the CV is not gender-specific, and if the interviewer is not a sexist.

Okay. Let me be more direct: when creating content for marketing, you should aim to solve a problem for your potential clients first. If you can't solve sexism, don't bring it up.

I'm a graduate recruitment consultant btw.

So how does your CV service solve chalkenegse such as sexism?

Assuming such still happens.

Officialgarri:
So the AGF wants to assume the responsibility of the DSS... What a joke!!

Sowore is a person of interest to the DSS, what does AGF have to do with National security?

Any matter that involves prosecution is under the ministry of justice of which the Attorney General is in charge. Investigation may be the prerogative of the DSS but prosecution is definitely the prerogative of the ministry of justice. The Attorney General can actually order the commencement or dropping of charges in any case against any individual before a federal Court.

CHoccolaTE:
This is exactly what I was thinking while going through this thread,
See how I felt cold while reading the justification these people gave for their fathers behaviour, they cannot control their urge to blame women for everything.
They agree that the father maltreated mom but are now twisting it by saying their mother manipulated them into being on her side, she nagged, she did so and so
Can you imagine the ungratefulness to the only parent who was there for you through thick and thin?
Go back to your dad if you want but dont be unfortunate by bad mouthing your mother for your dads bad behaviour, even if she did the nagging and emotional whatever you people are claiming THAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY your dad abandoning you. He could have gotten family to mediate, he could have separated from her but continued to show interest and concern for you.

But here you ungrateful brats are, after your mother raised you you want to still blame her for your dad abandoning you.


I really pity single moms raising boys, if they know what is good for them they will try as much as possible to get support from their sperm donor because men will always support each other over women no matter the rubbish the other party does.

I am very sure Op's dad is rich because he mentioned the man building houses everywhere. Maybe he wants to have a taste of his dads wealth that's what is really fueling this reconciliation and bad mouthing his mother.

Can you quote the exact place where he actually bad mouthed his mother??

BRATISLAVA:
Men only love their fathers because of red pill movements and because they usually become the monster of their childhood in later life.
So you think mother's only nag? Do you know if fathers nag? With the way men complain about almost everything about women from coming to cleaning, who do you think nags most? Even when mother's are bread winners, at the end of the day comes underserved love and respect for a man who prioritized other things over his family. Because people need to recognize fathers. Whatever that means.
I've noticed a lot of hatred for dead beat mother's and love for dead beat fathers. Why? Sexual bigotry. Nothing less. Nothing more. All I see are ungrateful kids. They always think their mothers are evil when they've grown up and swallowed the pills, and that they need to see things from his side, even when he abandoned them or abused them. Men don't suck in emotions; they are downright bitchy too. That is why they take it out on their families by being absentee fathers. If women dared to try this...! And yet, the children always look for them. Not because they are good. But because society has made even evil men have a side. Even murderous men have a side. As if evil is justified simply by fatherhood because if you don't apologize to him you will suffer. Fear.

This is a simple thread on a man forgiving his father. Seems like you are on a mission of your own... Why not start your own thread?

Coldie:
This guy disowned Nigeria in his last fight.

When Andy Ruiz wgo is Mexican American entered d ring he played the anthems of his 2countries.

But this guy British Nigerian only played the anthem of Britain. Me as a Nigerian to me that as an insult to our country

What does that tell u, he has no loyalty or allegiance he is just after the money, anywhere that favours him he faces there

So how does claiming Nigeria favor him?

J111333:
Mr Man shut up, you don't know anything about military.
Do you think military starts and ends with those personnel you see on road blocks at Enugu Onitsha freeway?

In the States, FBI and Secret Service are just retirement or resting place for tough Marines and Navy Seals who want to remain active after service. Even with numerous Secret Sevice agents, US President can't step an inch without making sure that US Marines are near him all the time.

Wrong.

The Secret Service recruits exclusively from the military which means their officers by default are at least on a par with the best special forces officers. Secondly, there are no marines guarding the president. That duty is carried out exclusively by the Secret Service and regular Capitol Police.
