This is what you get when you are unpresidential in your utterance...

Barrow won, and Jammeh conceded only for Barrow to start talking about probes of corruption and human rights abuses. Why not wait until the transfer of power before you make your intentions known/act?


Reminds me of Buhari making the 97% vs 5% unpresidential comment that have since polarised the country.

They should start thinking about making compromises as Barrow has spoilt everything alread. Jammeh being a soldier will not be a sitting duck. He will rather die than be humiliated.

Diplomacy is what is needed now and I doubt Buhari knows anything about diplomacy to have been asked ti head this mission.

Getting tired of telling people that Barrow never said such. International media kept asking and the most he would say was that there is a process and that when he gets into office he would look into it. It was a female member of the coalition who explicitly made comments threatening the man and his henchmen.

its called the ' katapetasma ammodytes' aka the Curtain Viper.

very rare stuff. highly venomous... you could trade it for $750 at endangered specie centre but instead u decided to kill it.

Indeed.

It's a harmless garter/garden snake.

dragnet:
Ok.
I was just trolling anyway

lol...should have seen that.

cheers mate.

dragnet:
but it's common practice to dump personal items into automobiles being shipped by sea.

Certain items and certain quantities of items must be declared to customs. Arms in any quantity must always be declared.

owner could have just chosen to send his "combat kit" to Nigeria inside his car.

Which is obviously illegal

dragnet:
maybe the owned is licensed and was just relocating to Nigeria.

That's why it was smuggled abi?

nwabobo:
These are hunting guns

Sorry, whaat?

You are looking at a tactical pump action shotgun and an assault rifle and calling them hunting guns?

Russia

Turkey don go find wahala again


they should be expecting response from Russian in few days to come and if they doubt me they should go n ask Ukrainians

When you learn to read your life will improve.

Okay, just a few questions. Two to be precise:

1. How do we know he didn't do it? Is it he that is telling us so?

2. What were the circumstances of his release? Was he granted executive pardon? Out on parole? Successful appeal? The report says there were no negotiations.

I am curious.

dayyum!!

Poverty mentality.

So it is okay for a millionaire, politician and a musician to have private jets but a pastor is subjected to suffering right?

Serving God doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy things because the earth is the lord's and the fullness therein

Before most of you (seun inclusive) come to nairaland to type junk maybe you should just take a minute and go through the Bible then read with your IQ (if you have any) not just rush to prove a void point

But Jesus once said to the rich young man "sell all you have and give it to the poor". So should we be buying more and more or selling and giving more and more?

Interesting that the game once said this : " thinking how they spend 30 million dollars on airplanes, when there's kids starving ". He wasn't talking about the church but that tells me that if unbelievers can think like this then how should we think as believers?

Don't know if people just don't want to be smart. ECOWAS is not under compulsion to send presidents as mediators. They doing this paas the message that if peace does not provide a way out, then other 'political' avenues will be used. Is there a West African nation with more political and military clout than Nigeria?

back2sender:
Buhari and jammeh were once military men. There is always an espirit de corp amongst military men
Jammeh naa small pikin militarily for where buhari dey.
Looking at ecowas, there is no president that has or even comes close to the cloud of influence buhari has.
Jammeh cannot do anyhow where buhari dey.
Nigeria provide technical aid to gambia. So Gambia cannot insult Nigeria.
The opposition believes in buhari.
Nigeria on the path to greatness under the leadership if buhari.
Local development, i hear many roads are been worked on and motorable once again, except abia roads. This we will bring to president buhari attention.
Sustainable food production Ongoing, rice, tomato, beans, we are getting there.
We can sit amongst great nations once again.
Nigeria military men standing shoulder tall Unlike in the past when they cow in the face of terrorist.
New weapons and warships for our military men.
Improved welfare for our military Unlike in the past.
Improved power supply.
Dealt ijaw militants at arepo and ikorodu creeks a heavy blow Unlike in the past when they have a republic there.
The list continues.
God bless president buhari for this initiative of making Nigeria self sufficient.

Bro, you are sensible. One amazing thing about this place is that practically anyone can sign up and have an opinion which is projected to the world compulsorily. But half of these people with their strong opinions are people who 'invested' in MMM. I just cannot take the political analysis of such a people seriously.

beacon02:
Recently I've been hearing people complaining over the ratio of single ladies to single guys. Most arrived at the conclusion that it is because girls are given birth to more than the boys but I would like to disagree with such stance.
The last time I made research on male ratio female birth rate, I dscovered that boys are more birthed than girls. Only in a few countries like Norway will you see it the other way round. Even during the last annual convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the number of the children birthed during the program was announced and it was 5:4 boys to girls respectively.

Now here is the statistic behind your illusion...

Given that 50 boys and 50 girls are birthed today. In the next 30 years, there is a high probability that the number of boys would have reduced to 35 or less while the number of girls to 43 or more.
The reason behind this is quite natural as men are more adventurous than women. That causes the rate of mortality to be high in men as they grow older.
Here are the factors that cause high rate of mortality among men:
...Nature of job... Jobs like factory work are dangerous in many ways and it has claimed the lives of many men at their youthful age. Also, transportation is another risky job. Men majorly are the drivers of vehicles and motorcycles.

...Thuggery and Cultism... Without much explanation, I believe you know the danger it has imposed on our society.

... Military... Eventhough women also do join millitary, you can hardly see them at the war front. Ethiopia was recently ravaged by war which caused a serious reduction in men's population. The government have to force the remaining few men to marry at least 2 wives.
Some other factors are also responsible.

Now, by the time they get to their late 20s, men would have reduced in population compared to women.
So I believe this article will be helpful for you when next you are thinking why women seems to be more than men.
Have a wonderful day.

The conclusion of those who assert that there are more single girls than guys is that there are more girls than guys alive in the world today. This is the exact same conclusion you have presented here. So where is the ground breaking knowledge?


I thought you would present some insightful thoughts on why, ceteris paribus, there would be more single ladies than single guys but all you have done is answer the question of why there are more women than men in the world, which was never the problem statement.

I throw it to you that your whole set of assumptions is left without a foundation when you consider the fact that statistically, a much higher percentage of men are cheating on their partners. This means that the actual ratio of men to women in the dating pool may actually be something like 1:1.5. Thus the excess number of single women ought to be absorbed by the number of cheating men. So if there are more single women than men the simple explanation that men have a higher mortality rate than women does not provide insight.

Petr Cech and his wife look like an actual real life couple...nice.

But Elneny...he looks like a gay!

bayooooooo:
Nigerians are just too gullible. How can a man claim to have six masters, three PhDs, and all people have to say is "congrats sir", "wow, he is so knowledgeable" etc?

What happens to asking him to list disciplines where he got the masters and the PhDs? Name of schools he attended? His age?

Nigeria is full of zombies with weak minds. No wonders, the country is useless.

So why not ask him for us and relay the answer back to us?

Did he tell you that he did them one after the other, or you don't know that you can do different degrees simultaneously?

shabakm:
nice one, congratulations but Msc in abroad is easy even me can have ten if am opportune

Atoos:
So you're saying the man is lying about what he does abi...smh


"They're not on facebook" how would you know....

I too know!! People wee just come on nairaland and be forming smarty pants upandan....

forgetting that there can be only one

That her husband is wearing shoes that are way too big for him in that pic.

That is all.

Still remember her...till now i feel a twinge sometimes when i remember how i used to feel about this girl back then. I must have been about 11 then, and she may have been the same age or a little older. Was too shy to tell her or let her know about it... At some point i had to leave the school but i found out later on, that when i started dating i was going after girls who reminded me of her. We're not exactly in touch but we're friends on Facebook.

The Nigerian Judges in the Gambia behave in a most curious way. For example, prior to the elections, the main opposition leader was jailed, by a Nigerian Judge, and denied bail upon conviction. A few days after the elections, a Nigerian judge presiding over the Appeal Court granted them bail (interestingly her name is omitted from the list above). What does this tell you? Our Nigerian judges in the system seem to blow with the political winds which is terrible for a judicial system. They are so hated that if the President elect should scale through in January it is a foregone conclusion that almost all of them will be going home on the first available flight.

bettercreature:
Senegal is waiting for go ahead from the united nation to chase the rat out of office
He will probably end up like Gbagbo
But opposition candidate is very stupid and arrogant as well.Why threatening to jail the entire military officers and the president when you are not even sure he will hand over to you

He never said anything like that!

Just when we thought we had seen change in the Gambia, with Gambian Incumbent president Yahya Jammeh conceding defeat in the 2016 national elections, there is a twist in the tail. At approximately 22:00 hrs on Friday, 9th December, Mr. Jammeh appeared on state TV informing the nation that he "rejected the results in totality", alleging that the elections had not been properly conducted.

Africa embracing CHANGE and rejecting letter J.
From good luck (J)onathan to Gambian Yahya (J)ammeh and now mahama (J)ohn.
Hmmm! (J)acob zuma is next O!

Re-check this one. You heard it here first.

Hmmm... I find it hard to relate with men who still live with daddy and mommy these days... I just feel like, what makes you think you have the right to speak up like a man when you clearly are not yet a man?

You don't know where you stand with regards to Christianity, you are still living to please daddy on the outside but on the inside you are rebellious. Young man you either be a man and live and act like one or you act like a good lil boy while you abide with your parents.

Like Professor JohnBull would say, Over and Out!

mikejones007:
Just got married recently to my fiancee we are currently on honeymoon, before now we never had sex before, my wife is a strong christian. brethren I cant believe what I encountered. We never had sex before while dating. This my wife is a tigress in bed. She hugs me so tightly like her live depends on my John thomas. Uses her fingernails to press my back. At the same time biting my back with her teeth and all. my john thomas is nt small oh.

The way she even does her eyes and vibrates on the bed is something else. It is like she is possessed by a spirit. I find it too aggressive, my whole back with fingernails mark after sex.

I have actively been in 5 different sexual relationship , but have never seen something like this before.

It is just shocking, she is kind of very sensitive so i want to be careful on how i raise it with her.

To the guys in the house have you witnessed something like this?

Am not the aggresive type oh, i like to do it slow and steady with kisses and smoothing.

Bro you should have asked her what she wanted before you got married. Now you are married, you have to adjust to give your wife what she wants and enjoys. Though you might ask her to meet you halfway by perhaps being more gentle with your back.

limeta:
With the coming of the proposed Christian court bill, and if passed,
it is safe that it would easily be argued by proponent of the Islamic bill that it is also justifiable for the Islamic bill to be passed by the parliament.
Is that the original idea behind this so-called Christian court bill?




Yes i know so.

Pardon me for quoting you. I just wanted to reply TonyeBarcanista on this particular point and your post is much shorter than his.

I don't see how the passage of a bill to bring a Christian civil court into existence will help speed up the passage of a bill to expand the powers of sharia courts which are already existing. Establishing a Christian Court does not provide any justification whatsoever for expanding the power of the existing Sharia courts unless the established Christian courts will have such powers, which as far as i can see, is nto on the table today.

With regards to the other points raised, it is simple: if you feel the Christian Court is not for you, then don't go there.

so that's what Nigerians call a beautiful lady?

alBHAGDADI:
A Christian court will be a court recognised and regulated by the government who will plant mobile policemen there. This is not recognised by the Bible.

The gathering of elders in a church is a gathering that doesn't involve or concern the government, policemen nor outsiders. This is recognised by the Bible.

Church and courtroom are 2 different things. Elders are already meeting in the church to resolve issues. We do not need a court that will send our brothers to jail when we ought to practice forgiveness.

The use of Armed Forces Shoukd be left to the secular courts cos it is not Christian at all. Setting up a Christian court will subject is to using that approach which is unchristian-like.

1. You are so quick to call for scriptures but i've not seen you show many scripture to back your assertions. If it own't be too much to ask, kindly show where in the bible the use of police men, mobile or any other kind, is prohibited on Church premises or by the Church. Especially given the fact that the bible refers to them as ministers of God with God given authority to wield the power that they do.

2. Elders meet in the Church to resolve issues and people meet in the courtroom to do what? Send people to jail? If you don't know how the legal system works just keep quiet. And you need to show me where it is said that throwing people in jail is not christian like. After all, Jesus told us the parable of the wicked servant who was thrown into jail.

I have also pointed out that Jesus said where the internal dispute resolution does not bring a brother to repentance then you should treat him like an unbeliever.

So why don't you start quoting scriptures to back up your position, instead of going round and round in the face of evidence.

alBHAGDADI:
I said give me scriptural backing, actual verses.

Anyway, let me make use of what you have provided.

1. This doesn't support a Christian court

2. Involving the elders of the church has been taking place since the first church was created. Setting up a Christian court will replace that which was laid up as foundation for the church, which is elders settling disputes in the church, not in courtrooms, whether Christian or not.

3. Using armed police officers is something that goes against Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. If Christ could forgive all those that crucified him when he had the power to render them all blind or dead or even arrest them using angels, then it means we are to follow his footsteps.

Re Point 1. You have asserted, now prove. What is the difference between a Christian Court and the gathering of elders at Church?

Re. Point 2. So if the church meets in a courtroom to decide a matter is it not still the church? What if the designated "courtroom" is in a church, will that help you think analytically?

Re Point 3. You fail to understand the difference between justice and forgiveness. You can steal my money and i forgive you of the crime and the hurt you caused me but does that mean if you are found with the money you won't return it? Note that the bible says that all authority including that of the police man, comes from God. Using armed officers is certainly therefore not against the teachings of Jesus, who never said anything like that.

On the role of the police go and read Romans 13 1-6 and note verse 4 carefully:

for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil

Do you see where the scriptures refer to law enforcement agents as being ministers of God? And they are ministers also unto the Christian not just the wider society.

alBHAGDADI:
You should have given me scriptural backings to why we need a Christian court, instead of writing the long epistle above.

I won't do that because i already have told you like 3 times that i am not in support of a Christian Court.
