Bad decision.

David Gill should have continued as Man Utd's Chairman. Ed Woodward is a goat who knows nothing about negotiating for the right players.

Rashford, Lingard, Smalling, Shaw, and many of the current players should not be wearing the jerseys of Man Utd. They cannot in any way come close to Scholes, Beckham, Denis Irwin, Blomqvist, Berg, Jaap Stan, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Giggs, the Nevilles, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Sebastian Veron, Laurent Blanc, Roy Keane and other great 5-star players who have worn the red and black in years gone by.

Sacking Mourinho changes NOTHING!

spongeisback:
So many dummies in this country. Churches are registered as charities. So what's shocking in this

They're not even giving the rice or whatever for free but at a reduced cost like every other business that does Christmas sales.

If we say, let us collect tithe and use to subsidize these items at 100% cost so people can collect for free, wahala.
Church now says, come and buy at half price (50% subsidy), no way.

Which one una dey?

No plan.

What is "any hustling"?

NOETHNICITY:
Please house I need help

Kept a bag of rice only to discover that weavels are doing damage to it.

Spread the rice in the sun, especially this very hot harmattan sun. Nobody will tell them to leave.

Thanks a lot, and also to others who answered.

Who is noticing the corruption in this debate? why is it the moderator always ask osibanjo to speak after peter obi. If you are not noticing this, then you are lying to yourself.
spit!

Try to look at the arrangement of the candidates. Imoni Amarere is asking questions from his left and moving to his right, therefore Obi is asked immediately before Prof Osinbajo.

I must say Professor Osinbajo gives very sensible responses. He should have been the President...not Buhari. The difference in intellect is too wide.

Ahhhggrr Galadinma. Did I hear u say a major economic something?

The guy fall my hand there no be small...

Asking the ANN lady how many MW of electricity they will produce per year if elected was a very unfair question, especially to someone who has no background in engineering.
She didn't even understand the question as she was talking about pre paid meter.

My guy, she owns a bakery. Bakeries use a lot of power. Surely, she should have done some research about this and as someone who intends to be a Vice President and thereby the Chairman of the National Council on Privatization, she should have offered something tangible and not the senseless garbage she uttered as an answer.

Good job OP. However, China is revisiting the student work permit issue.

MrOfficer:
He attended a traditional marriage at nnewi. One mopol on sighting him wanted to give him a gun salute but sh.it went straight to his torso

Furthermore, I think he had some complications and his stomach burst open.

Is the 10 year limit still in operation for imported cars? What happens if I bring in a 2006 or 2007 model vehicle? Would it be seized or would I pay a fine?

I need to organize a car on an impromptu basis from South Korea and need this info ASAP. Anyone in the house?

BRMN:
Well I still think that if he has employed a lot of people, it won't be hidden. It's not a question of healing people, yes he can heal people, he heals people, but Jesus did not collect money to heal people in the Bible.

If he has been so blessed and so wealthy as he said, then he should increase his reach and spread his tentacles to help people all over Nigeria. That's what Tayo Demola talked about in that video if u watched it.

Before you help people in other countries, help people in your country first. Charity begins at home as they say. A lot of people are hungry in Nigeria so help them first. I've never met anyone working for him anyway.

I'm not saying people are not working for him but I align with the argument and suggestions of this activist that he should help people all over Nigeria and in all the states of the federation and not just within his circle or among his church members only.

Nigerians are lazy and always looking for handouts. Ongoing projects being done by the church can feed anyone with a craft and their families for years.

Anyone who says he is poor should go and learn a trade like bricklaying or carpentry, and go to work in the project sites being done by the various churches.

Only lazy people will see all the opportunities all over Nigeria and be crying that they are poor.

The Demola fellow has obviously not heard of the David Oyedepo Foundation. Or do we talk of the various money Bishop has provided to IDPs all over Nigeria? Or the distribution of food and money to Osun civil servants that Aregbe starved for months on end? Or do we talk of the Good Samaritan Sundays that hold every month? Or do we talk of the standard, state of the art hospital that Bishop personally funds with his own money in the Landmark University?

Or is the jobs that are being created in Covenant University, Canaanland and all the establishments of the church? As at 2010, Covenant was paying University Professors N13million basic salary per annum, when govt has been struggling to pay N5m to the same level at public universities (total emoluments).

So what are we talking about? Who are these poor people? Any one with a skill such as carpentry, bricklaying, plumbing, electrical works and all can make a very comfortable living working on the projects being done by churches like Winners and Redeemed. See how much was paid out as salaries and work payments by Dunamis to workers in constructing its new auditorium at a time Federal Gvernment cannot even complete a single road project.

Unenlightened people should get more information before they come talking trash.

Gays already have equal rights in Nigeria. Nobody asks you on any forms you fill what your sexual orientation is.

The issue is if you are gay, don't come flaunting it in anybody's face or having your public marches or any of that BS. Keep your gayness at home. None of us who are heteros come out in the open to flaunt it in any gay person's face, so why should a gay flaunt it in mine?

selfmadeboss:
dont mind the idiots. i even heard he now has a 5 star hotel and charges normal rate like 5 star hotels. what a merciful god we serve

No, he should be charging N100 a night so you can take your hookers to the place.

hollah123:
oga,but it's a Christian program with Jesus as d head now but I can only see daddy G. O picture n wife there? are they d new jesus

Why not go to heaven and snap Jesus with a camera phone for our benefit?

Bloooody:
Why will I waste my time to worship something that doesn't exist?
These con artist will make millions from this rubbish.

Why are you wasting your time posting here? Ok, you do not worship God. We have heard.

Now carry yourself and get out of here and allow those who believe in God express themselves. It is a Friday. You should be in a club and not be commenting where you do not belong.

TONYE001:
Hello all,

Greetings.

If everything goes well, I'd be driving from PH to Abuja. It's going to be the farthest distance (by far) I've driven. The car is a Volkswagen Passat wagon (1999).

Won't be doing this alone, of course. Would have a friend and a mechanic accompany me.

So, I need the professional advice of the long distance drivers here.

Thank you.

I've done this before so I can tell you how to do it from practical experience. I am assuming you will follow this route: PH -Enugu -Nsukka - Ankpa - Idah - Ajaokuta - Lokoja - Abuja. I cannot guarantee the safety and the state of the road via the other route that cuts through Patani and Edo state.

Step 1: Ensure all your car papers (including tinted permit) are in order. You will encounter a lot of police checkpoints from Obigbo all the way to Nsukka. From then on, sporadic checkpoints (mostly military) at Itobe bridge, Murtala bridge, etc. Also, leave with a full fuel tank.

Step 2: Your journey starts. Leave PH very early (by 5am) so you avoid the traffic build-up at the bad road points between PH and Aba. Continue along the PH - Enugu expressway. You will cut off at the 4-corner junction before you get to Enugu proper, so you avoid the town. That 4-corner road is a narrow, snaky road on a hill. You have to drive with extreme caution here. Many cars have fallen into that ditch at the side of the road.

This road will ultimately take you to the 9th Mile corner, from where you will proceed along the Enugu-Nsukka road which is very smooth thanks to the Governor or Enugu state who undertook to repair that road on behalf of the Federal Govt. (he has to follow that road to Orba his village, just before Obollo-Afor...what do you think?) You will cross Nsukka, Obollo-Afor and head towards Otukpa/Ankpa (where you will take a major left turn to head into Kogi state). There is a filling station at that junction and you cannot miss it as you will see Peace mass transit and other transport buses taking that turn. Also, there are lots of hawkers there selling stuff like plantain, garri, palmwine, etc. So you cannot miss it.

The journey will take you through several towns along the major road. You will get to a place called Ejule, where you have an NNPC Mega station. If you did not refuel at the mega station close to the Abia Tower at Umuahia, you have to do so now. From there, continue on the major road until you get to where you have some civilization (I think it is called Achabo...not sure again), at a place where you will do a left turn round a round-about towards Idah. Keep watching for the Peace Mass Transit buses. They will give you confidence to know you are on the right track. Try to follow them as well so you know how to navigate the road as well.

The road through Idah will take you back to the major expressway junction, where you will do a left turn towards Ajaokuta. You will cross the Itobe bridge over the River Niger at some point. As you get to the Ajaokuta area, there is a section where the road is bad. So many people now decide to take a turn into the Ajakouta steel complex road, which significantly cuts off the bad portions of the road and shortens the journey by about 30 minutes. You will have to beg the security there and do as they tell you to pass.

When you burst out at the other gate of the steel complex and back into the express, your journey will take you towards two junctions where the road branches out into 4. Be careful here, as a wrong turn will send you into Okene or somewhere else and you will be lost. Again, follow the Peace Mass buses or ask directions to ensure you take the correct turn. Usually, it is a right turn (both times) if you are coming from Ajaokuta axis. This takes you into the Ganaja-Lokoja road. In 20 minutes, you will be in Lokoja. Again, you can do a fuel top-up here.

Time spent so far:
PH - Nsukka (4-5 hours approx).
Nsukka - Lokoja (3 hours)

At Lokoja, take a deserved rest at any of the restaurants. Again, follow the Peace Mass buses or other transporters. You will see where they park to eat.

From Lokoja, you will cross the Murtala Muhammed bridge, en-route to Abuja. You will cross towns like Koton-Karfi, Abaji (border town between Kogi and FCT), Yandoji, Kwali, then Gwagwalada (Gwags) before you get to Giri junction. You can decide to turn right to enter Abuja using the Airport Road, or you can keep going straight to Zuba, and then turn right to enter the Deidei-Kubwa express way (Outer Northern Expressway) which takes you to Gwarinpa, Ministers Hill, Maitama and AYA. Depends on where you want to go.

Transit time:
Lokoja to Abuja: 2 hours.

So your journey will take you between 10 - 12 hours, depending on your speed.

Google Maps are very accurate. They will also help you, but drive behind the transporters. They are your best bet.

babeosisi:
That's how brainwashed these daddy shouting crew are.
They actually believe their daddies have powers to curse them and others.
The fear of curses is what makes them surrender their earnings to pastors
Thank God no one in my immediate family is this bewitched .

Is it your earnings? For those of you that are always more concerned about the poor (Judas Iscariot was too and yet he was stealing from the general purse); which poor person have you empowered to become rich? If you call flinging your tattered, forgotten N100 giving to the poor, then you are actually poor yourself.

Daddy freezer must have had a heart attack hearing this.

People like the OP are the stingy broke and frustrated Nigerians who can never give God one naira, talkless of rendering any tangible help to anyone. Ask him how many times he has ever given a dime to the IDPs scattered all over Nigeria. My wife and I have done at least three IDP visitations and have another one next week. We pay school fees for people, give to orphanages AND we still fulfill our covenant obligations in terms of tithes, offerings and sacrifice.

Every year has been bigger and better and just better. God himself spoke to me in my room about these things way before I even joined Winners. Many people are reaping the benefits of their seeds sown over the years. Why people like the OP think they can think for me, and tell me how I spend MY MONEY (some of which I show below) simply beats my imagination.

babeosisi:
My fellow Christians wake up.Don't fall for that 419
It's all a scam to take your money. God doesn't need your money to bless you,he owns everything already and he gives freely to all. Open your eyes.

Don't let them deceive you with Shiloh sacrifice and first fruits anymore. God has given you all things that pertains to life and godliness. Don't let them scam you.
Invest your money wisely, bless your mother, help the poor instead of giving it to Oyedepo and co.

Those men are already super rich, go build your own wealth, start a business, save for a rainy day. God doesn't do trade by barter .

These people prey on your stupidity.

Don't let them

Thank you. Now take your broke ass and get lost. The moderator who put this garbage on the front page when there are other more important threads that should be making it there is equally a dunderhead. It is ok to put up such a stupid thread on the front page, but if a post attacking Islam or a muslim cleric comes up, it will never make it to the front page.

What sort of nonsense is this?

They that know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits.

Let the lunatics keep criticizing. Na their way. Afterall, Jesus was so criticised.

Which Winners members is this freezer man talking of? Certainly not a Winner like me. We are not beggars. Rather we are blessing people steadily. So I really wonder what any member of FreeNation can give me in form of financial assistance. The God who supplies my needs is way BIGGER than daddy freezer or any FreeNation member.

The Int guys sometimes pose as mad people. If you know, you know.

How does this laughable freezer man still get front page coverage on Nairaland? Na so Seun dem dey find ratings?

Firearm licenses in Nigeria are not issued for self-defense. They are issued for sporting purposes i.e hunting game (or gaming). Even at that, licenses have limits to which they can be applied. Someone of intemperate manners who threatens to shoot people at the slightest provocation is irresponsible ownership and is grounds for having a firearm license withdrawn.

damfam:
pls am new here, this issue is really bothering me, my agent told me he will be getting me 2years working visa in Spain but he comes back given a tourist document and after I got to the embassy at Lagos I was given 2month visa and he told me he will give me a contact of some one in Spain who will get me the working document, but am really scared is this fake or real, pls I need help urgently

Visitor's visa to Shenghen area na 3 months naaa. Besides, what kind of work are you supposed to be doing? The process is that you apply for a job in a company. If they take you after conducting online interview, they will arrange your employment permits from the relevant govt ministry in Spain. Language proficiency is almost like a must for working there.

So what exactly is the agent supposed to do?

Why una dey fall mugu like this? You want to end up parading your flesh in the streets of Madrid or Sevilla or end up a cocaine mule in Barcelona?
