Lem. on12:
I recently photographed a wedding in Warri, Delta State. It was a union of two different ethnic groups: Yoruba (Groom) & Delta (Bride). The church service started an hour later than planned and seemed like we were going to be in the service forever; perhaps I felt uneasy because I had not eaten breakfast.

It happened when the pastor was preaching his sermon to the new couple. I was so tired and hungry that I didn’t know when I slept off. Perhaps because I was confident that my two assistants would still cover what I miss. Suddenly, I awoke to a loud affirmative revelation uttered by the pastor of the church: YORUBA MEN ARE COWARDS!!! I was shocked. Did he just say what I think he said. He was “encouraging” the husband to learn to stand and protect his new wife in troubled times. The example of a challenging time he gave is “when armed robbers come visiting”. He mentioned that a Yoruba man will flee in the presence of armed robbers and forget his wife. I’m not too sure I got the point he was trying to make. Perhaps the new wife understood what the Pastor meant.

I’m not sure he remembered that the groom he was uniting in holy matrimony was a Yoruba man. I wondered if Yoruba men attend such a church. But then I was quick to remember that there were multitudes of churches to choose from in the oil-rich state.

I felt that was too derogatory a statement to be uttered on the altar of a church. I wondered what the mindset of the members of the church would be like. I wonder what their perspective of Yoruba men will be. More importantly, I wondered how a city filled with so many churches (almost 1 in every 6 buildings…on average) hadn’t experienced a level of development you would associate with a city where God abides. I wondered within….and felt sorry for people who think that they are better than others.

I didn’t know when I left the church auditorium (before the end of his sermon) to go get myself something to eat. Perhaps if I ate some food, my backward thinking Yoruba mindset will make good meaning of what the Pastor just declared in church. Maybe I was just upset because I was (& still am) a Yoruba man.

And we are supposed to be the Light of the World…the Salt of the earth. May God help me not to be a coward. May God help us all.

It looks photoshopped

Not alluding to the curses and, despicable classless show of shame. I just saw a few pointers in there that scream one of his daughters. I doubt his ex-wife would be referring to her herself in 3rd person. Then again, a lot of women are narcissistic and self-absorbed.

Crazy father and bitter/slutty mum. Crazy folks!

This is good to be true.
Writting up something like this depicts lies..how come you know all even when he sold his. Suit, you were there, when he bleeped his mum, you were there, he was about to hold a position in the country, you were there, he held and ended his tenure you were there, now he's gone...you came up with this.
We ain't fools. We've seen authors like you.

I think GEJ personally has nothing to fear. I don't think Buhari is disposed to the option of embarrasing him. If he has stolen money, he might be asked to refund it but this will likely be done in secret, I may be wrong though..

If its connected to the charger, it won't still shock or cause burn on her face because the power coming from phone charger that is plugged in wall socket is converted to DC (direct current) that is not more than 7 volts. so even if u put the tip of the charger where you plug inside the charging port of your phone into ur mouth, it won't shock u rather u will notice small pinching feelings in your tongue showing the presence of little DC current whch is used for charging ur phone. There is no how dat DC will cause burn.
But come to think of it, assuming the story is true, how come the so called earpiece is still intact. something that burned someone's face is still intact and new. why didn't it melt? Abeg make una tell us Wetin burn her face jor
