pls any Bible passage to justify this?.

The Bible forbids polygamy, divorce and remarriage. It is one man, one woman. The two shall become one flesh.

1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 1 Corinthians 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Yes I am a physiotherapist. you wrote that your mum had stroke. When did it happen? which side of Lagos are you?

1. PREVENTION OF INJURIES. Athletes are well in-tune with their physiotherapist, but for the common adult, a physio may be foreign. For starters here, physios specialise in injury prevention, which is the process of adjusting posture, form and movement patterns to help reduce your risk of experiencing an injury or re-injury. Usually, adults seek the advice of a physio for rehabilitation from an injury that may have occurred after attempting the gym, trying a new fitness routine, or due to some occupational issue that arises (such as lower back pain or repetitive injuries). A physio can guide you in your rehabilitation, help you regain your strength and understand what things you can change to minimise the chances of injuring yourself again. Prevention is always preferable to cure, so getting some advice from a physio before you start at the gym or join bootcamp is a great idea. Remember, a physio understands both your exercise goals and how to get you there safely. When you visit a physio for injury prevention, you will be thoroughly evaluated. First there will be some questions to evaluate your previous history, current situation and future goals. Then the physio will do a physical assessment to get a better understanding of how you move, and identify any weaknesses that may need addressing. Once you have a diagnosis, the physio can lay out a direct path to help you succeed in your goals and prevent injuries. If you are prone to injuries, it may be wise to seek out a physio to reduce the risk of injury as soon as possible. This can save you a lot of pain, money and time off work. 2. WORK ON POSTURE. There are many reasons as to why you could have nagging injuries popping up here or there, but your posture is perhaps one of the most critical components to avoiding nagging pains. Your posture may not be something you pay close attention to throughout your work day but if pain or injuries to your back, neck, and legs start to appear, then your posture may be one factor. One of the most common reasons for frequent headaches in office workers is poor posture caused by improper ergonomics. With that in mind, a physio can help you to develop better awareness of your position, advice on your work set up and improve the function of your postural muscles so that you can avoid those nagging postural pains. Generally, a physio will develop specific exercises to strengthen the postural muscles and will guide you throughout your healing process. 3. ALLEVIATE GENERALISED PAIN. Perhaps you do not have a specific injury causing pain. Widespread, generalised pain can be linked with conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility and many systemic rheumatological diseases. But there is much a physio can do to help your pain. Physios utilise ‘healing hands’ (hands-on techniques) to alleviate pain by stimulating certain nerve pathways to be less sensitive. They can also provide education on ways to cope with fatigue, how to best pace your physical activity and everyday chores and how to gradually increase your ability to do the things you need to do and most importantly, the things you love to do. A graduated exercise program can also help to reduce pain and develop more fitness, strength and stamina. A physiotherapist can make a very positive impact on your quality of life. While physio’s serve as pain relieving healers, it is important to understand that your pain levels do not need to be excruciating. Lower level pains such as frequent nagging pains and dull headaches are a very common reason to see a physio. Don’t let these nagging problems drag on for months or years, when there is something you can do about it today – see a physio. 4. STRETCHING & FLEXIBILITY. If you sit at a desk all day for work, you may think that stretching is not important since you were not active, but long periods of sitting can cause tightness in your lower back and hamstring muscle groups. Getting up and moving regularly and doing some regular simple stretches can make a big difference to work related aches and pains. Breaking your sitting with activity is also important for your general health. If you spend a great amount of time typing on a computer then you should consider stretching your forearm and wrist extensor muscles throughout each day. Do you have neck aches? Consider a stretching program to loosen the muscles that move your head. A physio is an expert in muscular health and wellness and they can create a detailed mobility/stretching routine. This can be provided via a free app with videos, reps, time and you can even set reminders to ensure you don’t forget to move your body regularly. Consider this a highly beneficial commodity in your health and wellness. For some people however, stretching will not help a feeling of tightness or stiffness. This may be a symptom of hypermobility (too much flexibility, sometimes called being ‘double-jointed’). If you do not have enough muscle support deep around flexible joints, the brain may signal big, superficial movement muscles to help out, working way more than they would normally. In this case, stretching will not help and may worsen the problem. A physio with expertise in this area can help ensure you are given the exercises that are right for you. 5. HEAL FROM A COMPLICATED SURGICAL PROCEDURE. One of the lesser known services a physio provides is healing from complicated surgeries. After surgery, you may be unable to be active or to exercise for quite some time. This may result in a lot of muscle weakness and a loss of physical fitness, making it much harder to return to your normal activities. A physio can help you to progress through a post-surgical rehab program, helping you to regain your muscle strength and fitness safely and effectively. 6. MANAGEMENT OF YOUR DISEASE. There are many scenarios in which you could be diagnosed with a disease and your only option provided by your doctor is to manage the disease with medication. Type II diabetes, heart disease and osteoarthritis are all conditions in which adults are to manage their condition rather than “fix” the disease. A physiotherapist can take you through a suitable and appropriate exercise program to help you to manage your disease, based on your diagnosis and the findings of a detailed assessment. This is quite valuable because sometimes the management process with a physio is so beneficial that some clients can cut back on medications prescribed by doctors. If you are in a disease management process, you should always consult with your doctor about involving a qualified physio in your management plan. 7. MANAGE A PHYSICAL LIMITATION. There are many conditions that people are born with that cause limitations. Sometimes, limitations are created as you age, through car accidents, injuries, as well as new onset of debilitating diseases. Physiotherapists are highly skilled to work with these conditions so that you can better manage your limitation. Physios can help to train certain muscle groups and improve your mobility to make your daily life easier to manage, but they are also skilled at assisting with devices, braces, and various health-related accessories you may need for your condition. 8. RECOVER FROM HIP OR KNEE REPLACEMENTS. If there is any reason to ever see a physiotherapist, then perhaps this is the best reason. Physios work on a regular basis with clients who have been through a hip or knee replacement surgery. There are 2 important things that a physio can do in these situations. Some physios offer pre-habilitation methods, which is exercising for a month or two before your surgery to help you recover from your surgery quicker. In addition, post-rehabilitation is essential for getting your joints working close to how they were before the surgery, but without the pain. You should definitely see a physiotherapist if you have a hip or knee surgery scheduled or are considering it. 9. RECEIVE REAL-TIME FEEDBACK ON MOVEMENT AND MUSCULAR USAGE. These services can help anyone from an older adult with back pain to athletes returning to sport or who want to help improve performance in some way or another. Some physiotherapists use certain sensor technology devices, such as the ViMove device, to monitor your movement patterns and muscular activity. Real-time ultrasound is also an incredible tool that allows the physio to see the muscles beneath your skin, to ensure they are healthy and able to activate in ways that best support and move your body. With this feedback, your physio is able to identify certain “weaker” spots throughout your body to aid your recovery or improve your recovery or athletic performance. This is valuable for any young athlete looking to elevate their performance and for any adult looking to simply improve upon weak areas in the body. 10. POST-PARTUM EXERCISE CONDITIONING. Having a baby is a stressful situation for the body and the female body is subjected to many bodily changes during the months of pregnancy. For this reason, seeing a physio can help to strengthen areas that may have been stretched or weakened during pregnancy and they can help guide you on a plan to safely increase your activity level and help lose that extra baby weight as well. A Women’s Health physio can also help specifically with pelvic floor or bladder and bowel problems that may occur after childbirth. Seeing a physiotherapist is a safer option than a personal trainer, due to a physio’s understanding of the effects of pregnancy on the muscles, ligaments and joints and what is appropriate in the early months after having a baby. Many new mums develop problems when returning to high levels of activity too quickly or performing inappropriate exercise routines. Medical issues can also arise weeks or months after having a baby, so being under the care of a physiotherapist, is a good choice. SO WHY SHOULD YOU SEE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST? After taking a look at some of the services a physio can provide across many different aspects of health, you should have a good idea as to why it is important to your overall wellness to see a physio. Yes, a physio is an expert in healing injuries, but there is much more that a physio can offer. Consider any or all of the reasons above to help guide you in your decision on when you should see a physiotherapist.

Na wa o

Well do your own deliverance too, to be double sure you are free completely. Just to be on a safe side.
And please next time, don't ever, I mean ever take a blood oath. It's diabolic.
And nothing good comes out of it.

And try move on emotionally. It's finished and over between u and her.

Someone better will cross your path.
Such is life.

FortifiedCity:
Go for deliverance. How could you go into a blood covenant with a woman. Are you mad?

Listen, you are not free neither is she. You guys are bound spiritually and there is no amount of distance that can separate that. You just locked up your destiny in the hands of a little woman, same for her. Toto sweet you, you come lose your senses.

Talk to a man of God, invite her over so that you both can renounce the oath and seal it with God's.

You spoke well

sholamat:
she is a Catholic member.. and Igbo... so she said she met s Reverend father to broke the covenant.. and I know it worked.. cos I feel something left me.. and she almost ran mad during the process...

Bro
See a pastor
And repent from this kind of life. Flee from sexual immoralities

Bros
you need to see a genuine minister of God to be delivered from that. Blood covenant and sexual intercourse are not playthings that should be communized. Ignore it at your own peril.

In our traditional Nigerian way, she would have been tagged an "ABIKU"
Here's her story
At the age of 12, Elizabeth did not think much of her frequent fainting spells. Despite experiencing them several times a day, she believed these moments, when she also lost vision and hearing, were related to getting up too fast. But when the seventh grader fainted during a trail run, she and her family knew it was time to figure out what was going on.
Despite numerous blood tests, MRIs, CAT scans, and visits with cardiologists and neurologists, no one was able to reach a definitive diagnosis. "Nobody could give me any answers, except for that I have low blood pressure and a low heart rate. And the only thing they could tell me was that I needed to drink more water and add salt to my diet," Elizabeth said.
As she began high school, the frequency of her fainting episodes increased to 9-10 times a day, keeping Elizabeth unconscious for hours, and, ultimately, bedridden. She also was experiencing widespread chronic pain, from headaches to stomachaches to sciatica. Eventually, she had to quit her sports and other extracurricular activities and was not even able to attend school. "Everything that brought me joy was ripped away from me," she said.
She was eventually diagnosed with a sympathetic nervous system disorder, which was causing her widespread debilitating chronic pain and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), an accelerated heart rate condition that is triggered by standing up, which was causing her vision and hearing issues, fainting, and fatigue.
Elizabeth and her family found a program at the Mayo Clinic Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Center in Rochester, Minnesota. At 16, Elizabeth and her mom left the rest of her family behind to live in a hotel room and begin a 1-month treatment plan. Walking into the center on her first day, another teenage girl passed out right in front of Elizabeth. "I remember thinking 'I'm with people just like me,'" Elizabeth said.
Her treatment included intense daily work with a team of integrated health care professionals, including doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, cognitive and behavioral therapists, and nutritionists. Elizabeth was supervised through aerobic and strength training, and gradually built her muscle and heart strength. She also was educated about her conditions to understand how and why her body was responding the way it was. "The pieces were beginning to come together," Elizabeth said of her combined treatments. "Physical therapy was the thing that helped me the most."
After 1 month, Elizabeth returned home, started school immediately, and hasn't missed a day since she returned. She has maintained her recovery with a daily routine of exercise, including physical therapy. "I was back to my old self," she said.
Now a sophomore in college, Elizabeth is studying to become a physical therapist. She says her decision came after contemplating what had made the most impact of her life. "I automatically thought physical therapy," she said.
There's so much a Physiotherapist can do for you

At the bolded, hope you are not saying igboman was the first professor of philosophy?

Why you too dey lie my friend, claiming igbo man was the first professor of medicine, when was that. Oga, first professor if medicine was a Yoruba man from sagamu, ogun state names professor Emeritus Theophilus Oladipo Ogunlesi. You can prove me wrong on that.

Bros, your lies strong o, who gave igboman first professor of physics? Professor Muyiwa Awe from Esie in Kwara state was Nigerian first professor of physics Mr.

You should stop deceiving yourself and your fellow, are you a learner. First professor of chemistry is a Yoruba man from Awa Ijebu, Ogun state by name Prof Stephen oluwole Awokoya.

Bros, do some research before posting. Thanks.

Bros, thanks for contributing to the discourse. in as much I acknowledged the contributions of our Yoruba scholars to Nigeria's education heritage. you are far from the truth by debating that professor emeritus Ogunlesi of Ogun state as the first professor of medicine. How can you deliberately choose to give a misleading report. Ogunlesi got his professorship in the year 1965 while Prof Herbert C Kodilinye got his as far back as 1952. so desist from doctoring the Truth. Be objective. I will not like to join issues with you on other false narrative you submitted because as regard this topic at hand but I kindly implore you to save self from further embarrassment

asuustrike2009:
Brilliant analysis but here are some observations.
1.Your topic says fact about Nigerian academia but your end note brought tribalism.
2.Are you telling me aside Igbo's,there no other tribes that had contributed to education in Nigeria?
3.Why don't you say the contribution of igbos to academia since your beginning and ending note portrays that.
These are my observations. Thank you

Yeah
Your observation acknowledged
I will effect the necessary adjustment to the topic

The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku.

The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Igbo man.

The first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics was an Igbo man named Professor Chike Obi – the man who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem.
Chike Obi was followed by another Igbo man named Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differential Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant.

The first Nigerian professor of History was an Igbo man, Professor Kenneth Dike who also became the first black vice chancellor of the University of Ibadan.

The first Nigerian Professor of Botany was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku. He went on to become the very first vice chancellor of the university of LAGOS. He also became a vice chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka from 1966 to 1970. He fought the war on the Biafran side.

The first Nigerian Professor of Anatomy and
Physiology is Professor Chike Edozien an Igbo man who is also the current Obi of Asaba.

The first Nigerian Professor of Physics was Professor Okoye an Igbo man who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA in 1960.
Okoye was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics.

In Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – again another Igbo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early 20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early 1950s.

The First Professor of Statistics, Professor James Nwoye Adichie whose research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. Adichie is the father of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the well known author of Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun (which was a Biafran story).

The first Nigerian Professor of Medicine was also an Igbo man named Professor Herbert C Kodilinye – he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war from 1971 to 1975.

What about Astronomy – again another Igbo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D. in Astronomy and Mathematics.

Let’s go to the Social Sciences:

Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Igbo man – Professor Chukwuka Okonjo. He is the father of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala former Nigerian minister of finance whose all children attended Harvard University. Ngozi also studied at Harvard. It was Prof Chukwuka Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early 1960s. He was also a double Ph.D holder in Mathematics and Economics. He was the first Nigerian Head of Department and Dean of Faculty (UNN).

Philosophy – Professor G. D. Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953.

Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo (elder brother to Chris Okigbo, the poet, who died in action at Nsukka during the war) who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D. in Economics.

Theology and theological research – Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland. He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952.

At the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC), the state with the highest number of professors in Nigeria and as at 2018 is Imo State.

You can go to this commission and verify.

Anambra state was the first in WAEC, UNITY

SCHOOLS ENTERANCE EXAMS, NECO AND
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Therefore, whenever some people address you Igbos as mere traders, tell them that in addition to doing very well in business, science, technology and SPORTS you are also ahead in academia.

No amount of hatred can change blessings from God almighty. Let the hating continue while we keep doing what we know best....

DEVELOPMENT ADVICE FOR NIGERIANS; Let Nigerians compete fairly (without quota system) and give the best positions to the brightest – be it Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa or Fulani, and then we shall see who the most successful Nigerians are.

IGBO KWENU! KWENU!! KWEZUENU OOOOH!!!

Some missed heaven because of unconfessed sins, they sinned and covered it. They were ashamed to confess their fornication, masturbation, addition to pornography, cracking of ungodly jokes. They regret forever in hell when they realized what sin has as a reward for them. Some missed heaven because of undone restitution, they keep postponing it. Some were afraid, some were ashamed to humble themselves. Eternity took them by suprise, in hell they regret and cry . Some missed heaven because of last minute carelessness, e.g anger. They slept and woke up in hell, oooo is this hell they cry . Some missed heaven because of ignorance, they weren't aware that earrings, wearing of trouser for a woman, use of attachment, weavon, wool, artificial hair, makequp, bleaching, perming and relaxing the hair, painting the face, tattooing the body, having worldly haircut could damn one to hell. They keep crying in hell "I never knew" . Some missed heaven because of false teachings from polluted pulpit. The pastor said you are free to divorce, they accept. You are free to work anywhere even in alcoholic company, they accept. You are free to dress anyhow, God looks only at the heart, they accept. Now they discovered the pastor was wrong, and in hell they keep crying, "my pastor deceived me" . Some missed heaven because of secret sins, secret jealousy, secret envy, secret lust and immoral thoughts, backbitting, bitterness, unforgiveness, hatred, pride, covetousness. They feel sorry for their sins but never openly confessed their problems for the salvation of their soul. Shame stole heaven from them, pride damned them to everlasting hell. They keep crying in hell "I repent, I repent" but it is too late. Some missed heaven because they never believed in Jesus, they followed false religion. They died in their unbelief, pitiful. Some missed heaven because they left the true way (Jesus) and followed Mary, worshiping images of mary, images of saints, they were deceived, they learnt the truth too late in hell. Some missed heaven because of stubborness, hardness towards the truth, they knew the truth but rejected it. They felt too big to be converted, but in hell they keep praying for one more chance, but REPENT NOW THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE BEFORE IS TOO LATE,DO NOT JOIN THEM IN HELL WHERE THEIR WORMS DON'T DIE, GNASHING OF TEETH, REGRETS.������������������ JESUS LOVE YOU,,, REMAIN RAPTURABLE �HOLINESS IS THE KEY....

HAJIA BINTA FARUK’S CONVERSION STORY The Genesis of my conversion started in the University of Nsukka, i had a room mate called chinwe, this lady loved praises, she will sing like this; come and join me sing Halleluyah---- I was looking for a way to deal with her, one day while coming from the House fellowship, she kept her Bible on my bed and i said who kept the Bible on my Bed, she said sorry, Binta, i carried the Bible, i tore the Bible, then i beat her. She took a piece of the Bible and cried to the heavens, and called my name three times, Binta Jalingo, Binta Jalingo, Binta Jalingo, this Bible you tore, you will use it to preach the Gospel. Then i slapped her again, i said, it is your mother and your father that will preach the Gospel, she said, may the Lord have mercy on you, Binta. After seven years of the spoken words, i got converted, 25th September 1999, i was in the bedroom in in shehu's palace, because i got married to the youger brother of shehu of Bornu, I was born into the Muri kingdom, which is mostly Fulani. My mother, Hajia Aminat Jalingo, is of the Kutep tribe. Contrary to the Islamic tradition of multiple wives, my father married and maintained only my mother. I am the fifth of nine children. My father lived in many parts of Nigeria, serving in the Army till 1996. My mother also worked with the Nigerian Medical Corps until her retirement in 1992. I attended the Army Children School, Ikeja Cantonment, Lagos, completed my secondary education at Government Girls’ College Enugu. I studied Mass Communication at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). After my studies, in 1996, I worked as Programme Producer/Director with the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Yola. I got married on April 27, 1997 and God blessed us with a set of twin boys – Hassan and Hussain. I never believed that I needed salvation for whatever reason, because every Moslem is convinced that Muhammad was the last Prophet in the long line of those that Allah had sent before. The Islamic Hadith (Mishkat) speaks of about 124,000 people who lived at various times in history. Twenty-eight of them are mentioned by name and most are found in the Bible. Since each of them was sent with a word from Allah to warn the respective people not to practice idolatry, to live righteously and to consider the coming Day of Judgement, it is perceived by Moslems that Isa (Jesus), the one to whom is given the greatest prominence in the Qur’an, was like Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and most others sent to the Jews. Therefore, when I heard Christians call Him, Lord, I became mad at them. As a young girl, in the secondary school, and even as an undergraduate, I would delightfully pack copies of the Holy Bible and take them to Kaduna for destruction, I thought the Bible was demonic. Many are still doing it today, I became Vice President of the youth wing of the Jamaatu Nasril Islam. Very often, I saw Christians happy in every situation; yet, my success at school, which gave me the job at NTA, and brightened my chances of a good husband, could not bring me such peace and happiness, Several people had talked to me about Christianity, but to me then, Muhammad was the final seal of the prophets. This was my pride as a Fulani girl who saw herself in the greatest religion of all time. Qu’ran does not teach salvation in Jesus Christ, but it gives Him the greatest prominence. The wonderful statements in the Qu’ran are enough to compel one to search more about Him. The name Jesus (Isa) occurs about 25 times in the Qu’ran, and the title Messiah is used 93 times. I hated anything that had to do with Christianity. I was always happy seeing a Christian unhappy and enjoyed hearing that Christians were suffering, but on the 25th of September 1999, I was caught in a web. The day before, we attended the Friday prayers and all went well. At about 1:30a.m. suddenly, an unusually bright light appeared in the bedroom with a mighty wind blowing and throwing all the pictures and other valuables to the ground. My husband and I became afraid. He got up from bed, brought out charms, known in Hausa as “Hayaki”. He placed it on the ground, got hot charcoal and placed the charm on it, but the mighty wind threw it all down. Before we could make out anything, a voice thundered, saying: “You have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. Go and be “Tabitha” unto my people”. I asked my husband if he could understand what the voice was saying, but he said that he did not hear any voice. He later concluded that I belonged to a secret cult, which accounted for my hearing voice that he could not hear. He thought that I wanted to sacrifice him or our set of twins. He got angry, took our twins to the guestroom and abandoned me in the bedroom. I was very worried and couldn’t sleep. In the morning, again, I heard the voice saying: “Tell your husband that you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour”. I said “No, I can’t. What has a Fulani got to do with Jesus Christ”, I thought that demons were after me. The thing happened again on 28th and 29th, and each time, there was an invitation to “come and serve”. So I told my husband that I would go to Church the following Sunday. “Not in this house”, he retorted, He might have received my word with shock, yet joy and peace flooded my heart at that time. I knew what I was passing through and it would be disastrous for me not to do what God would want me to do for Him. On Saturday, after speaking to him about it, I went ahead and bought for myself the first Bible I ever bought or read in my life, and hid it under my box. The next day, Sunday, I picked up my Bible, got into my car and drove to the nearby Baptist Church. After the service, I came back and met my husband at home. I greeted him but he asked me where I was coming from; I wanted to lie, but heard a voice saying ‘what were you taught in the church today?’ It was “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” So, I told him that I was coming from the Church. He got up in anger, gave me a beating, snatched the Bible from me and wanted to tear it but I told him of the danger of tearing the Bible, so he stopped. He was shocked because he knew that it was my role in the past. So he dropped the Bible in anger and left till the evening. I brought out food for him as usual, but he kicked the food away and warned his sister that no one should eat the food I cooked in the house again for he had declared me an infidel and as a result, I would have nothing to do with the family, even with my own kids. The next day, he went to fetch my father from Makurdi. As I welcomed my father, he too, started beating me with his military belt and boots, until I was unconscious and was taken to the hospital where I stayed for three days. Wonderfully, on the third day, at about 2 a.m., the Lord appeared to me. I noticed a touch on my feet and I woke up trying to see who it was that touched me, but the face was shinning like the sun in such a way that I could not see his face. I only looked at Him from His feet to the chest. I was afraid and screamed for help. One of the nurses came, prayed with me and asked me not to be afraid again. As I said amen to her prayers, I began to speak in tongues for about three hours. I was saying things they could not understand. Some of them thought I was mad but a psychiatric doctor who was called in, confirmed that I was normal. The figure appeared again. This time He said unto me, “Be bold, for this is temporary: you will overcome the temptation”. The fourth day, I was discharged from the hospital. On getting home, my husband gave me a divorce letter, which I collected with joy and told him. ‘I am married to Jesus.’ After that, I packed my things, including my two cars, kept them in someone’s house and travelled to Lagos. My husband took my twins to Saudi Arabia. Not done yet, my father had the man that I had kept my belongings in his house arrested on the grounds that he had abducted me from my husband’s house. On hearing that, I returned to Jalingo and arranged his release. Then, my father collected my cars and other belongings claiming that he bought them for me as wedding presents. In trying to make me renounce my faith in Christ, the Management of the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Yola, had my appointment terminated, under pressure from my husband. My father and some Islamic fanatics took me to one Alhaji’s house in Jalingo and there chained my feet and my hands. After seven days, I was released, with a threat of death, if I went to Church again. My mother arranged for my uncle, her elder brother to reconcile my father and me. As we went talking, my father got angry, picked up his gun and shot at me. As God would have it, the little movement I made at the sight of a gun overturned the seat where I was sitting and I was pushed to the ground. The gun sounded but the bullets did not enter me but passed through the chair and to the wall. Everybody was alarmed, my mother started weeping that he had killed her only daughter. Later, my mother advised me to go and stay with her elder brother. Being a moslem, he too was unhappy with me and made life difficult. Once, he threatened to kill me with a cutlass so I left his house for Lagos and later, Maiduguri. I was denied my rights in the family; my father had me thrown into prison on false allegation. He had initially gone to a Sharia court but I protested against that since I am now a Christian. So, he took me to a Magistrate court at Hadeja. The Magistrate ordered that I be remanded in prison for calling my father, my neighbour. I was in detention for six months without trial and bail until some Christians on prison visitation, learnt that I was there for becoming a Christian. The matter was reported to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Chairman who wrote a petition that led to my proper trial. The Magistrate sentenced me to two years imprisonment plus a fine of five thousand Naira. One Christian Women Fellowship in the area paid the fine while I was taken to prison. That was September 5, 2000. Some inmates asked me to appeal but I told them, confidently, that the Lord Jesus would do a great Appeal for me. At midnight, I prayed: ‘Lord, I want you to deliver me from this prison before December. If you don’t, the people will ask me, where is your God?’ I reminded him of how He answered Hezekiah. On October 2, 2000, less than a month after my imprisonment, a letter came from Abuja ordering my release and I was set free. My prison experiences brought me closer to God that I developed more faith in God’s ability to see me through. After two months, I decided to go and share the Lord Jesus with my grandparents. The moslem youths were looking for me everywhere, to kill me. They hid me until I couldn’t be hidden. I fled to the bush for four days. On the fourth night, I woke up with a snake beside me. That day, I told God that I wanted to go back to Islam. I couldn’t continue like that in the bush but He quickly reprimanded me. He asked “Upon all the sufferings you’ve been through, you still want to go back? If I didn’t shut the mouth of the snake, wouldn’t it bite you while you slept? I repented and told him that I was sorry; I will never go back to Egypt”. I found out that God actually took me to prison to teach me some things. One was to read the Bible and, two, because of a female Christian warder who left and married a Moslem and God shut her womb. In the prison, God told me in a dream that she was going to have a baby. When I told her, she became angry, tortured me, called me names, but I kept praying for her, that the name of the Lord be glorified since I had said the Lord told me. Later, she actually had the baby, and that converted her and her husband. Eight molems in the prison gave their lives to Christ. They were baptized in the Holy Ghost before I left. Seeing what the Lord used me to do in the prison, I knew that I would do better outside. One day, some moslem youths came and kidnapped me. They laid me on the ground, raised their cutlasses to kill me but their hands remained hanging in the air. That happened to three of them and the others fled. They were later taken to the police who wanted them killed but I told them it was the Lord’s battle not theirs. I told them that I had forgiven them. As I was leaving, they asked for their hands to be restored. I said “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, let your hands come down” and their cutlasses dropped. Today, they are Christians and live with me. On another occasion, another group of moslem youths kidnapped me. They were taking me to Sokoto. On the way, scorpions emerged and started to sting them. They dropped me, begged me and even gave me money to take me back home. Yet on another occasion, they kidnapped me and wanted to inject me with poisonous material but they couldn’t find those materials and had to let me go. The Bible says we must start from our Jerusalem. Moslems and Fulanis are my Jerusalem. Many of them live in ignorance, not having heard of Jesus till today. And if I am one of the fortunate ones that God brought out, I need to go out and say something to them. That is why I say I would fight the cause with my blood. I am not limiting myself to Nigeria; I intend to go to the Middle East, planting a church in Saudi Arabia where my children are. I tell God that my children in Saudi Arabia are Ambassadors of Christ and they must become Pastors in Saudi Arabia. So, any time I hear a moslem is converted somewhere and is persecuted, I take them in. I have forty-nine under my roof right now. They call me “mama”. The oldest is eighty-nine years. She became a Christian and her children threw her from upstairs to die, but God preserved her. A Pastor found her and brought her to the centre. Some come with their ears cut off, others are stripped naked etc. I pray for people to join me in this crusade. Thank God. He is raising men among the coverts in the centre and in my family. My immediate elder brother who is a soldier has become a Christian. My mother became a Christian since 2002. My elder brothers who wanted me dead or back to Islam are now Christians. One of them, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Maiduguri had to relocate to Imo State because of persecution. I testify that Jesus is Lord. Some people came to attack us. The first time they came, they saw a pool of blood: the house became a pool of blood. The second time they came, the house became plain land. The third time, they saw ocean. The last time, the house became a pillar of fire. Sometime later, something happened that led to their arrest and the Commissioner of Police sent for me. On getting there, the police brought the criminals who said that I didn’t know them but they knew me. They were all Moslems, some of them from Republic of Niger. They then narrated how they had to attack me, but I was delivered by the Lord. That day, the Commissioner of Police lined up his men in the office and asked me to pray for them. Instead of leaving me alone, my former husband began to persecute me. While leading some assassins to my place to kill me, the vehicle in which they were travelling was involved in an accident. He, alone died in the hospital after confessing that he wanted me dead for I was bringing shame to his name. It pains me because both of us were in the same room the day I heard the voice. After that I prevented him from destroying a copy of the Bible, something I used to enjoy doing. He knew how violent I was, destroying Christendom. He should have learnt a lesson from my conversion and repented. That is how many others die without repentance even though they are exposed to the gospel. The good Lord who is always my Shield and Protector will always save and hide me in His shadow. My life is in God’s hand.” Binta Faruk Jalingo was a staff of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Yola. She runs Tabitha Evangelistic Ministry, a home for the persecuted (Converted Muslims) in Miango, Jos Plateau State, Nigeria. I don't know how your feeling will be but as for me, the name Jesus is the most powerful, if you believe the same, then share with others.

Two Nigerians – Temitayo David and Toyosi Ogunleye – are helping the United States authorities with its investigation after they were arrested with stolen properties worth $500,000.
David, 55, – a woman – and Ogunleye,42, were arrested alongside one Gregory Bland after Gwinnett County sheriff’s deputies searched a warehouse, and found $500,000 in stolen microscopes, medical equipment and electronics in a Snellville warehouse.
The trio were consequently charged with theft by receiving after investigators notified federal authorities of their find.
According to reports, Deputies said they began investigating after a California company was not paid for an order of 40 microscopes totalling $11,555.20 that was shipped to the warehouse on Eastgate Place in Snellville.
The order had appeared to come from an existing customer, but investigators learned that the microscope company had actually been a victim of a business email compromise scheme, which is a type of phishing scam.
Investigators went to the warehouse on Feb. 23. They encountered Bland, who said he was allowed to live at the building in exchange for accepting packages for the owner, David, according to a sheriff’s office release. During a search, investigators found the microscopes and other stolen items, including medical equipment and construction equipment, the release said.
All three suspects were arrested at the warehouse. David is being held without bond in the Gwinnett County Detention Center. Bland and Ogunleye were released on $11,200 bond.
According to Deputy Shannon Volkodav, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.
“The investigation began after a microscope manufacturer in California contacted the sheriff’s office notifying us of a fraudulent order they processed after receiving an email from what appeared to be an existing customer’s email account.
“When the invoice wasn’t paid, a call was placed to the existing customer, who stated that they had not placed the order.”
A joint investigation between the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is ongoing.

yeah, the idea is wicked. I hope Nigeria govt will reject it as Jamaica did

Ministers have drawn up plans to build a prison in Nigeria to enable the government to transfer prisoners from Britain.

The proposed 112-bed wing, built to United Nations specifications in the Kiri Kiri prison in Lagos, is to be built as part of a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement.

It will cost just under £700,000, according to a statement submitted to Parliament by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on Wednesday evening.
"As part of this agreement, eligible prisoners serving criminal sentences in Nigeria and the UK can be returned to complete their sentences in their respective countries," Mr Johnson said.

It follows a deal reached between the two countries signed in 2014.
But poor conditions in some prisons overseas have created a legal barrier to returning foreigners convicted in the UK.
"The Government believes that wherever possible foreign nationals should serve their sentences in their own country," a Foreign Office spokesperson told Sky News.

"Helping Nigeria to improve its prison conditions and increase prison capacity will enable us to transfer more prisoners to Nigeria, which will in turn free up prison places in the UK."

Deals to transfer prisoners in UK jails to their countries of origin have been made with Albania, Rwanda, Jamaica and Libya, and well as Nigeria.
In 2015 the Government pitched an ambitious £25m project to build a 1,500 bed prison in Jamaica, with the aim of sending more than 300 Jamaican inmates with sentences of more than four years there.

But the Jamaican government rejected the deal, with local media quoting ministers as saying the offer was not beneficial to Jamaica and did not cover the prison's full cost.

Mr Johnson said tenders for the planned Nigerian jail had been placed and suppliers identified, bringing the project's total cost to £695,525 including support, monitoring and evaluation.

The bill will be met by the CSSF (Conflict, Stability and Security Fund), he said.
According to House of Commons statistics there were 320 Nigerian nationals in prisons in England and Wales at the end of 2016.

Foreign nationals make up about 12% of the prison population compared to about 9% of the general population.

The annual overall cost of a prison place in England and Wales is about £38,000, according to the Ministry of Justice.

ONE MONTH AFTER EMPLOYMENT! Housemaid attacks boss with pepper and wine bottle, beats her into a coma
By wuzupnigeria 
Published on March 8, 2018
Doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, are battling to save the life of a civil servant in the state, identified only as Mistura, after she was allegedly attacked by her maid in the Ejigbo area.
Mistura had been in a coma since Monday, March 5, 2018, when she was attacked with blended pepper and a wine bottle by the maid, identified as Susan Samson.
Our correspondent was told that despite a three-hour surgery on Wednesday, the victim had yet to come round and was in the intensive care unit of LASUTH.
It was learnt that Mistura, who taught in a public secondary school in Lagos, had employed Samson on February 4, 2018 to assist her with domestic chores.
The 18-year-old suspect was reported to have stolen her boss’ money last Friday and Saturday.
After the stolen money was recovered from Samson’s bag, Mistura was said to have alerted the agent who brought her.
The Ogoja, Cross River State indigene, in a desperate bid to escape from the house, which Mistura had locked, allegedly poured blended pepper on the boss while she lay on the bed.
She then grabbed a champagne bottle and smashed it on the victim’s head repeatedly until she passed out.
The suspect was reportedly apprehended by residents who heard the victim’s scream for help.
The suspect was handed over to policemen from the Ejigbo division.
The victim’s husband, who identified himself only as Alhaji Sikiru, said he had gone to work when the incident happened.
He said,
“An agent brought her to my wife on February 4, 2018. The girl said although she was from Ogoja, Cross River State, she had her primary and secondary education in Ikorodu, Lagos State, where she had lived the better part of her life.
“I had gone to work around 6am on Monday when my wife was attacked. But when I was called, I went to make a statement at the Ejigbo Police Station where the girl was being detained. That was where she told me everything that happened.
“She said last Friday, my wife accused her of stealing some money. Again on Saturday, there was an allegation she stole another money. I was surprised because my wife did not tell me that the maid she employed was stealing her things.
“After I left the house on Monday, my wife asked her to buy balm for her down the street. While she was away, my wife went to her room and found the stolen money in her bag, including some other items which she (Samson) stole from her shop.
“My wife called the agent that brought her and asked him to come over to the house. The agent immediately called the girl to know what happened. The girl said she didn’t know why she (Mistura) called him.
“At this time, she had become suspicious. So, when she got back to the house, she went to her bag and discovered that the stolen money and other items had been recovered by my wife.”
He said Mistura, while awaiting the agent, locked up the two gates in the house and kept the keys.
She was said to have lain on the bed.
“When the girl saw that her secret was about to be exposed, she wanted to escape. On discovering that the pedestrian and drive gates had been locked, she became desperate.
“She went to the kitchen, took a bowl of blended pepper, and poured it on my wife on the bed. My wife could not see again, but she groped to the main gate. She started calling for help because she could not also open the gate.
“The girl went inside the house and found a bottle of champagne, which I had kept for an occasion. She smashed it on my wife’s head five times. And she collapsed.
“Some residents, who had gathered outside the gate after hearing my wife’s call for help, caught her as she tried to escape. They also found my wife in a pool of blood and rushed her to a hospital,” he added.
He noted that during a visit of the police to the house, they found more stolen items in the suspect’s room.
Alhaji Sikiru, while expressing fear over the condition of his wife, said he hoped she would make it out alive.
“She lost a lot of blood and I had to get six pints of blood yesterday (Tuesday). Because her blood level was low, the doctors gave her four pints so she could go through a surgery which started from 1am and ended around 4.30am on Wednesday. The surgery didn’t bring out anything. She is still in a coma.
“My wife is in the intensive care unit of LASUTH. Her brain has collapsed and has been removed from the body and kept somewhere. Her kidney is already packing up. I hope she makes it out alive,” he added.
A source told PUNCH Metro that the couple had a disagreement late 2017 over the issue of getting a maid as the husband was against the idea.
The source said the dispute was so intense that some relatives had to wade in.
“The woman has high blood pressure and her personal doctor told the husband in January that the woman’s BP was still high but she said she would be better if he allowed her to have a maid. That was when the man succumbed. But see what it has caused,” she said.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, said it was a case of attempted murder.
He said,
“The said Susan Samson suspected that her boss had discovered some items she stole and hid in her room. She subsequently mixed a large quantity of pepper in water and poured it on the woman’s face to render her defenceless.
“She subsequently hit her head repeatedly with a big bottle of wine which grievously harmed the woman. The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has decried this act wickedness and ordered a thorough investigation and diligent prosecution of the case.”The Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Professor Wale Oke, said the victim was receiving treatment at the hospital.
He said,
“She had a surgery yesterday, which was successful. She is, however, not out of the woods yet. She is still in a coma. We have to wait for the brain to heal from the injuries.”

Ghana is at 81 on this year's Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, while Nigeria is at 148. My question to President Buhari is how can you help a nation that is less corrupt than yours to fight corruption? It is like a demon offering to deliver a pastor! That is how the same Buhari disgraced Nigeria after the 2016 Munich Shooting by promising to help Germany fight terrorism. Imagine Nigeria that is rated as the 4th most terrorized nation in the world, wanting to help Germany, one of the least terrorized nation, to fight corruption. Who should help who? Buhari should be in a retirement home, not at our Presidential Villa.

ABUJA, Nigeria — The calls for him to quit were already loud, coming from two former presidents, a prominent pastor and newspaper editorials. Even Catholic bishops weighed in with criticism.
Now, the president of Nigeria is facing a new crisis: the
mass kidnapping of 110 girls from their school late last month, prompting another wave of outrage at the government.
The pressure is mounting on
President Muhammadu Buhari to step down after his first term expires next year. A diverse range of Nigerians have joined the chorus, and while the presidential vote is still almost a year away, campaign season in Nigeria is in full swing. Billboards have popped up in parts of the country and election news dominates the headlines.
Nigeria’s Constitution allows Mr. Buhari to seek a second term, but already his opponents and former allies are piling on. Even his wife has emerged as a detractor of sorts, using social media to post video clips of politicians criticizing her husband’s presidency.
The latest tragedy gripping the nation — the 110 girls who went missing in the town of Dapchi after militants attacked their school — has only deepened the skepticism of Mr. Buhari. He has been criticized for being slow to speak out about the attack, especially after he swore that something like this would never happen again after a
similar kidnapping in 2014 of nearly 300 schoolgirls from Chibok.
Then on Friday, Mr. Buhari came under more criticism after militants began a major attack on a military installation near a displaced persons camp in the town of Rann, killing at least three aid workers and several others. Three people were missing amid fears they had been kidnapped. The same camp was erroneously struck by Nigeria’s own military jets last year, killing dozens of displaced people and aid workers.
Mr. Buhari has not announced whether he will seek a second term. His aides have indicated that he will, arguing that other aspirants have nothing to offer Nigeria, the continent’s most populous nation.
“Buhari has already transformed and changed the image of leadership and that of our leaders in this country, both locally and internationally,” said Boss Mustapha, secretary to the federal government.
Mr. Buhari, a retired military general, transfixed voters in 2015 with his promises to lift the nation’s troubled economy, end decades of corruption and win the war with Boko Haram, the Islamist militant group that has claimed thousands of lives and uprooted millions from their homes in the north of the country.
Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, right, said “glaring failures” by the government had depleted good will among the public.
All those problems are still festering.
“This good will is being fast depleted by some glaring failures of government,” said Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, until recently the president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, which said living conditions have worsened under Mr. Buhari.
Critics also cite Mr. Buhari’s health as a concern. He spent
weeks at a time last year in London receiving treatment for an illness whose nature he has yet to disclose.
In his time in office, a secessionist movement championed by a group called the Indigenous People of Biafra has gained steam in the southeast of the country, 50 years after a civil war over the same issue left one million people dead. Under Mr. Buhari, military operations have led to dozens of arrests and deaths, and the disappearance of the movement’s leader.
Beyond that, conflicts between farmers and pastoralists looking for places for their cattle to graze have escalated, with recent bouts of violence killing dozens.
Critics complain that Mr. Buhari has failed to resolve
these tensions. But even his opponents concede that he has tried to work on the promises that helped him win the presidency.
Almost as soon as he began his term, Mr. Buhari began an assault against Boko Haram, with the military taking back territory and capturing and killing scores of militants. His government negotiated the release of several dozen of the students taken in 2014 from the village of Chibok. Two other groups of high-profile hostages — women police officers and university professors — were released this year.
But those successes have been marred by the new kidnappings at the Dapchi school. Officials didn’t initially label the episode a kidnapping, despite numerous witnesses reports of militants hauling away the girls. The president’s aides would say only that the girls are missing.
The war with Boko Haram still rages, with suicide bombers pulling off regular attacks and militants conducting increasingly complex operations. About 100 students from Chibok are still held hostage.
Yet Mr. Buhari has baffled the nation by repeatedly saying Boko Haram has been defeated.
His government has worked to crack down on corruption, uncovering millions of dollars’ worth of cash and making high-profile arrests.
But critics say corruption is still widespread. They were outraged that Mr. Buhari hired a former director of the nation’s pension fund to a new post in his government after the previous administration had fired the man on grounds he had pilfered billions.
Mr. Buhari also hired a national health insurance executive who was being investigated by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency on suspicion of approving shady contracts and engaging in nepotism. When Transparency International recently announced that Nigerians think that corruption has worsened during Mr. Buhari’s tenure, he rejected the report as misleading.
Despite being one of the world’s top oil producers, Nigeria has experienced fuel scarcities that have led to long lines at the pumps.
On the economic front, Nigeria officially pulled out of a recession late last year. That achievement has been overshadowed by soaring unemployment and the fact that the country — one of the world’s leading producers of oil — faces a fuel scarcity in some areas, with motorists stuck in miles-long lines for hours in blistering heat.
Fed up, former President
Olusegun Obasanjo , who served from 1999 to 2007, released an 18-page letter recently calling for Mr. Buhari’s “dignified and honorable dismount from the horse.”
In a lengthy response, Lai Mohammed, Mr. Buhari’s information minister, detailed the president’s achievements: a near doubling of foreign reserves, lower inflation, plans for a new rail line, an increase in agriculture exports and production, and other gains.
But the list of people calling on Mr. Buhari to step aside keeps growing. It now includes Ibrahim Babangida, a former military ruler of Nigeria; prominent human rights lawyers; and a coalition of young voters.
The Punch , a popular Nigerian newspaper, said in a recent editorial that Mr. Buhari was “unfamiliar with the nuances of modern governance and insular to the point of self-entrapment in primitive provincialism.”
In Nigeria, informal agreements call for the presidency to alternate every two terms between someone from the predominantly Muslim north — where Mr. Buhari is from — and a person from the Christian south. If Mr. Buhari does not seek a second term, many Nigerians will expect the presidency to go to a fellow northerner.
Mr. Buhari maintains a significant base in northern states, but he will need to build more support in other regions to win another term. Analysts are buzzing about suitable replacements.
Potential contenders include Atiku Abubakar, who served as vice president from 1999 to 2007. He is a co-owner of one of Nigeria’s largest oil and gas logistics companies and the founder of the American University of Nigeria, a private institution. Another possible candidate is Sule Lamido, a former foreign minister. Both men are members of the opposition People’s Democratic Party.
Bola Tinubu, the national leader of Mr. Buhari’s party, the All People’s Congress, was recently appointed by Mr. Buhari to lead reconciliation and confidence-building efforts among party members. Many analysts believed the move was intended to assuage feelings that Mr. Tinubu had been sidelined during Mr. Buhari’s administration. Some speculate Mr. Tinubu could make a bid for the presidency himself.
Tunde Bakare, a well-known pastor who was once Mr. Buhari’s running mate, has also become a vocal opponent.
“This administration anchored its policy outlook on three main thrusts, including security, job creation through diversification, and anti-corruption,” Mr. Bakare said in what he called his own state of the nation speech. “Yet all around us are signs of retrogression.”
