I like you, but when you shared that post that UN will intervene after 100days of protest, I became disappointed and started wondering if you were really 'deep.'

omoiyamayor:
The initiator of coup to Nigeria's Democracy, welldone Mr Ironsi,we are still facing the consequences of your action.

It's obvious you don't know your history. I am sure you haven't heard the name, Kaduna nzeogu before?

SimpDetector:
Simp spotted.

Apologizing to a girl is simp behavior. Under no circumstance should you apologize to a girl. It sounds like bad advice but it works. Rather than apologize, you tease her. Or just deny her allegation with boldness and make her doubt her sanity. This makes her emotions go hay wire and as long as you are constantly stiring that pot of a girls emotions, she gets hooked to you more.

Contrary to what women say, they actually do not want your apology. It makes them look more in control and whenever a girl feels she is in control, she begins to lose attraction for you.

You are definitely not a simp, you are actually sick..deny with passion to make her doubt her insanity?
I do feel you deserve only an insane woman

Dedetwo:
If you are qualified to comment on this issue, you would not have used the word, "Black" to describe humans.

What's wrong with the color Black?

RuddyFusion:
a girl i
Love told me on phone today that everything is not about money .,..other things count as well. Those type are rare now but they abound also

I agree with u. I also have one like that.
But they are rare

RuddyFusion:
Good one na so 300k follow enter akant be that

My friend calculate well oh, that's 300k+.
But I am just saddened by the ingrates, especially ladies in the society today, that can't see any good in small small act of kindness.
To this people, u can't do any good until you do things that worth thousands or millions. They are so myopic to understand that the value of a gift is not in it's price but in how much it cost the giver and in if it's meets a need in the recipient.
Foolish girls and boys everywhere now. Lost generation. I spit on those negative bullies that tried to pull the woman and her marriage down

Lilgabby:
I no even know maybe make I abuse you or maybe u dey support me...the woman... Or deeper life... U just join the whole story enter season film....why na

U free to abuse my friend. The way you retorted that 'abi all deeper life people wan die?!' is uncouth, uncalled for, uncivilized and it didn't paint you in good light.
Considering more, that the woman didn't even infer or suggest that deeper life people antagonised her

Lilgabby:
Abi e no wan better for who dey threaten her.... E be like say na all deeper life members want die ba.... Nothing must do that woman and her child. Or else! ...una go hear am.

Your type can blab ...empty threat. Are you a militants leader or president of a strong country. Your attitude isn't good enough.
The boy and his parent should get justice, so that such acts is discouraged in the future.
But I followed up her reaction with a critical and logical mind. It's telling that she didn't mention deeper life in bad light at all here. I imagine deeper life representative must have behaved in a mature way. I suspect that it's the accused students parents that are trying to manipulate the commissioner to defend them...they may be influencial people. And the commissioner too might be feeling uneasy that she failed in her oversight role

GodWrites:
What a sheep! Hmmm

Like you don't understand me? Or is it me that dont understand you?

Righteousness2:
The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

The wrongest Battle to Fight is a Battle against an individual , People or Nation Backed by GOD ALMIGHTY .

You will End up committing Suicide..

Please dear righteousness, will you say tomorrow, for your Christmas message, expound to us how America, the modern state of Israel and Trump is a nation and people backed by God?

pepperdemzombie:
Why didn't you sing your "ukwu" or "Looking yansh" for him?
Stupid child!
Why are his useless songs and lyrics not befitting for his father?
Why not sing his rubbish songs to public to his father in his house?
Yet he is some idiot's role model.

This gives food for thought oh

Righteousness2:
Whether the nail in question is the one used on the hands of JESUS Christ or not, does not really Matter

What Matters is that JESUS CHRIST was Bruised, beaten and nailed to the Cross because of You and I. HE had no sin in Him, but HE took all that pain, slaps and beatings that we might be Saved.

What Matters is that Salvation has Nothing to do with your Financial or non financial Status. It is Free of Charge for Whoever Comes for it.

What really Matters is that HIS hands are wide open to Forgive and Receive anyone that comes to Him , irrespective of whatever you have done.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

What Matters is for All to know and Understand that JESUS Christ is the only way to Eternal Life. There is no other way.

What Matters is that same JESUS is Coming to Snatch away, All that Believe in Him and Accept Him as Lord and Savior.

Receive Him now that you can! The next Moment could be Late..

This is much better. At other time you would have said something like, "glory be to Go. No forces on Earth can disprove Jesus with this wonderful fact...bla bla".
However bro, keep studying to show thyself approved. God bless u

RuudVanNisteroy:
Less than a month after Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed self-government for Eastern and Western Nigeria, the tropic Federation got its first Prime Minister and installed its first all-Nigerian Cabinet in the capital of Lagos, beside the tepid green waters of the Bight of Benin.* Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, a Northern Moslem, became Nigeria's first Prime Minister.

In a graceful speech opening Parliament, Balewa paid tribute to British statesmanship and the service of Christian missionaries, spoke of the "tremendous good will" that existed between Britain and Nigeria, but emphasized that he and his ministers are" "irrevocably committed" to complete independence for Nigeria.

He was the best Nigeria head of state ever, in style, content, character and charisma.

Righteousness2:
That was the star of Bethelehem appearing for the First time in 1000 years.
It has made three appearances and this is its 3rd and Final appearance.

It First appeared on the Day JESUS was born ( which is the Christmas Day we celebrate here on Earth.

It's a Major sign for what is about to Hit the Earth.
The RAPTURE is upon us Folks..
Let's not Deceive ourselves ooo..
Are u Ready??
Accept JESUS and do away Completely with all forms of Evil , sin and Iniquity

Why don't you say two stars of Bethlehem since they are two. Shameless, dogmatic, erretic preacher. You are always pointing out things that have no scriptural backing hence deceiving and should I say also entertaining the 'simple' minded people.
Must you find sensational things to support the Bible? The Bible doesn't need any validation. The Bible discourages your style. The Bible is clear and enough

Bola146:
Ask Google

I suspected you might not understand my point. Well the Bible said of God that he hates divorce, so I tried to humorously relate you to God.
But here you appear to have completely missed it

Na this Jesus birthday we dey celebrate soon.
Truth is truth. Overdo is dangerous. The real Jesus didn't ask us to celebrate his birthday (his early goons/apostles didn't), rather he asked us to yearly mark and reflect on his death.
This is in line with the admonition in Ecclesiastes 7:1.
"A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume. And the day you die is better than the day you are born." Moreover, Jesus wasn't even born in December. Evidently, he was born around October. December 25th, has been from back in many pre-christian cultures till now, more of a day for ostentatious display of wealth, lasciviousness and lax morality.
In addition, many scholars agree that most Christmas traditions have their roots in non-Christian and pagan customs. These include Santa Claus, as well as using mistletoe and the Christmas tree, exchanging gifts, burning candles and Yule logs, hanging decorative wreaths, and caroling. Regarding some of these customs, the book The Externals of the Catholic Church observed: “When we give or receive Christmas gifts, and hang green wreaths in our homes and churches, how many of us know that we are probably observing pagan customs?”
This my piece makes you uncomfortable ba? Yes, that's what truth does. Bible asks us to be wary of the traditions of men.

Bola146:
I hate divorce seriously

Are you God?

Samuel Abdulraheem has no recollection of the day he was abducted, aged seven, from his family home in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.
Although he came from a large family - his father had 17 children by four wives - Samuel was on his own with a nanny that day.
His family were told he had gone outside to ride his bicycle.
They would not see him again for another six years.

THE SEARCH
"There is nothing we didn't do to try to find him," his older sister Firdausi Okezie recalls.
Then aged 21, she was not made aware of his disappearance at first.
Her brother had always enjoyed rushing to answer the phone and speak with her when she called home from university.
But when other members of the household began answering it when she rang, she suspected something was wrong.
After her classes one afternoon, Firdausi travelled home unexpectedly and her father, an architect and hotelier, was forced to reveal the heart-breaking truth: Her favourite sibling had been missing for more than a month.
"At first, my father had the nanny arrested, but after investigations, they let her go," Firdausi says.
They also tried to hide the news from Samuel's mother, who was divorced from his father, for as long as possible. Every time she called from her new home in a different city, they would conjure different excuses.
Eventually, an uncle was assigned the unenviable task of telling her.
In addition to extensive police investigations, the family placed adverts in newspapers and sent out search parties to comb the streets. They checked ditches in case he had been the victim of a hit and run, and even consulted Muslim spiritual priests, known as malams.
In time, her father asked the family to accept that their brother was dead - they had done the best they could.

THE SCREAM
Firdausi refused to give up. She dedicated her university thesis to her missing brother and a year after graduating, she moved south to Lagos in search of work.
She converted to Christianity and started attending Winners Chapel - one of Nigeria's mega churches based in Ogun state just outside the city.
Every December, the church holds a five-day gathering of its members from all over the world.
During the event, known as Shiloh, interested members of the congregation are allocated free stands to display their goods and services within the church premises.
Still without a job in December 2000, Firdausi applied for a stand to sell some tie-dye fabrics her mother had made.
While waiting for a carpenter to help set up the display, she sat on a chair and placed her head in her lap for some rest.
That was when she heard a beggar appealing, in the name of Allah, for spare change. Firdausi looked up.
This beggar had his hand firmly planted on the left shoulder of a boy who was dressed in a tattered brown tunic and undersized trousers.
Firdausi screamed - the haggard boy guiding the beggar was her lost brother.

THE KIDNAP
Samuel, now aged 30, cannot recall exactly how he was stolen from his family: "All I remember is the train journey."
He was taken to a one-armed woman who lived on the outskirts of Lagos in an area mostly occupied by disabled beggars.
The woman hired him out to blind beggars for 500 naira (approximately $5 or £2.50 at the time) per day.
The sight of blind men and women being led around by boys and girls is common on many streets in Nigeria - especially in dense traffic where they usually tap on car windows, or around churches and mosques.
Only Samuel lived with the woman, sleeping on a mat in her shack.
Over the years, he says about five others boys turned up to live with other women in the same yard, each hired out to blind beggars.
Samuel suspects that something must have been done or given to him during that time because he does not recall ever thinking of his family during that period, or wondering what had become of them.
"I am not sure I had emotions then," he says. "Just a zombie that knew he had to wake up and lead a beggar out. Make money, eat food and sleep, and the same routine the next day.

LIFE OF A SLAVE
Different beggars hired him for a period of anything from a week to a month.
At the end of each day, Samuel and the beggar slept alongside others in various public spaces.
If a beggar enjoyed working with him, they hired him again for another period.
"I was like a slave," he says. "I couldn't say I wanted to go and do anything. I had to be around always."
As he was always on the move, Samuel made few friends, only occasionally playing with the children of other beggars he bumped into in the evenings.
Sometimes people gave them food while they were out begging. At other times they hung around restaurants and ate the leftovers or scavenged in dustbins.
"I was always hungry. During the daytime when you work, you hardly sit down to eat," he recalls.
"I didn't feel the beggars were bad. They wake up, beg, the way people wake up and go to work."
Day after day, Samuel walked from one end of Lagos to the other with a beggar's right hand gripping his shoulder.
Sometimes, they trekked to neighbouring states or across the border to Benin. If the beggars received news of potential benefactors gathered somewhere, they told Samuel and he took them there by bus.
"There were times when you get so tired and you start bypassing people, but blind people are very sensitive - their hearing - so they pick up sound. Sometimes they would twist your shoulder and say: 'There is someone there. Why are you moving away?'
"They try to make as much money as they can."

THE 'MIRACLE'
In December 2000, a beggar he was guiding heard news of the programme at Winners Chapel where they ran into his sister.
At first, Firdausi was too shocked to reach out and touch her brother - who can still recall her scream.
"I fell down on the floor," she says.
Samuel looked gaunt, his right shoulder was significantly tilted and he appeared dumb, not speaking a word. The sight caused Firdausi to burst into tears.
"It took a while but I knew that she was someone I knew - that this person was someone related to me," Samuel says.
Soon a crowd gathered and drawn by the commotion, church officials also arrived. They managed to make sense of Firdausi's barely coherent joy and decreed that it was a "miracle" worth sharing with the entire congregation.
They ferried Samuel to a corner and gave him a quick wash. They found him fresh clothes to wear and rushed them both to the stage of the 50,000-seat auditorium where Firdausi was given a microphone.
In tears, she narrated how she had just found her brother who had been missing for six years.
Firdausi recalls how the entire congregation leapt out of their chairs in shouts of praise and thanksgiving.
The founder of the church, David Oyedepo, then held Samuel and prayed for him.
That night they slept on the church premises in a car, as it was a long way to get back to where Firdausi lived.
She remembers waking up throughout the night and touching her brother to make sure he was real.

THE RECOVERY
Today Firdausi says that she regrets being so engrossed in finding her brother that she did not try to rescue the others from where he was kept.
Shortly before his rescue, a new young child had arrived in the yard, Samuel says.
At first, the boy wept non-stop and refused to eat. Suddenly, he became silent, leading Samuel to suspect that something had been done or given to the boy to quieten him.
"In a developed country, you would just go and tell the police. But, here, the police would ask you to give them money for fuel and all that, and I didn't even have a job," Firdausi says.
Besides, reintegrating her 13-year-old brother into normal life was proving more difficult than she had imagined. He had not returned to live with his father and she was taking care of him.
Boils and rashes had broken out all over his body, giving off a foul stench.
His right shoulder remained bent for more than a year, requiring X-rays and physiotherapy before it finally stopped showing signs of the pressure from years of being gripped by beggars.
Their mother did not recognise the youngest of her seven children - who was now rough and haggard.
She had to raise his arm and search for a birthmark before she finally believed that the person in front of her was actually her son.

THE STUDENT
After six years of no formal education, Samuel was barely literate.
Firdausi was left frustrated with the search for a school - with many saying he was too old to join at primary level.
Just when she had almost lost hope, Firdausi met a school proprietor who had seen them on the stage at the church.
The woman agreed to admit him, while Firdausi made arrangements for additional private classes.
Samuel Abdulraheem excelled at his studies
In three months, Samuel zoomed from primary one to primary four. Within a year, he had passed the entrance exams to secondary school.
Samuel spent only three years in secondary school when, aged 17, he felt confident enough to sit for university entrance exams.
He passed with flying colours, attaining the best result in his entire school, and gained admission to study chemical engineering at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria.
But Samuel's academic prowess would eventually lead to the sudden end to his studies.
Other students often sought his assistance with assignments and he was expelled during his fourth year after being caught writing another student's answers during exams.

'NO GRUDGES'
Samuel now works as a supervisor on construction sites.
"Someday when I am comfortable financially, I hope to continue my education," he says, adding that computer science might be an option as he is good with gadgets.
Samuel holds no ill feelings about what he went through while in captivity. He believes that all those years shaped him and taught him to try to always be nice to people.
"Nothing that people do actually gets to me. I just see it as a way of life. I don't hold grudges," he says.
Memories of the constant hunger have affected the way he relates to beggars and their guides today. He never gives them money.
"I'd rather buy them food. Because, back then, it was better giving me food than money because the money went to the beggar and none came to me."
Samuel hopes that, by sharing his story, people will pay more attention to beggars and the children who often guide them.
"When they see a beggar with someone, they should have a second thought that, possibly, this child could need help," he says. "Don't just see and give money and walk away."

you need to understand something...

God has no real adversary!

Sango, Esu, Amadioha... Even the Devil! are all servants of God; created by Him to do his bidding!

Yes, they can be described as adversaries of man, but not God. All power belongs to the Most High who created all things through His living word. Nothing exists that was not made through him... (John 1:3 God's Word Translation)

Well, that's not what the Bible said, the Bible said they are renegade. God is all powerful though, he will ultimately prevail

livingchrist:
that is not what I wish for him but a reality to those who do not believe in Christ.

Ok, that statement must have shocked God, because he desires that no one perish but come to the accurate knowledge of God.
I urge you to find a more loving and constructive ways to warn people. Because really your response looked like you have passed judgement on him.

The Ifa corpus is a complex and interesting system that tries to pass valuable wisdom for day-to-day matter and knowledge for the future to it's adherents.
But because it's a system that relies on some spirits or supernatural forces to get meanings from some affair of chance, it is divination and spiritism and God - the God of the bible- detests it.
Spiritism to christians, is the practice of going to the camp of the adversaries of God to seek help. The spirits (that different cultures have made gods and given different names like Xango, Esu etc. that are summoned and implored are angels that got selfish and went against God.
They, of course appear to give solutions many at times, but these solutions are in line with their grand agenda of luring people away through deception and superficial counterfeit favors from Gods camp.
29 “Therefore, since we are the children of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and design of humans. 30 *True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance; but now he is declaring to all people everywhere that they should repent.* 31 Because he has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead.”
```Acts 17:29-31, Acts 14:16; Romans 2:14-16.```

Claudiusdeux:
The people that liked his post are 'angry' because the Buhari government looks good by rescuing the boys.

To understand why they are angry, consider that Politics in Nigeria is not about good governance. It is about getting your side into power so that you can enjoy some chop money.

APC used the kidnap crisis in the North when GEJ was in power to get him out of power. A lot of PDP people lost out. They are angry. So along comes this kidnap problem. They were planning on using it to get Buhari out...AND THE BOYS GOT FREED.

So they are angry and bitter and thus the rants on scam...which is also another way of making APC look bad...just like APC did for PDP

Meanwhile, the fact remains, that Katsina and the whole of the country has a security issue...and both parties are not doing anyhting about it. They both want to chop money.

My friend, you appear to have a grasp of the situation. You have just succinctly pointed out the mindset of many, which is saddening.
Politics to many here isn't about what anybody can do, it's about party and tribe. It's disheartening.
Be happy always anyways my friend

God, please when will you do away with this type of wicked people. People that take important decision based on trivialities.
I like Atiku. But I thought at this stage we would have learnt to vote people based on what we believe they can do and not to spite some groups or because of bragging right.
God, please just send this type of people to Afghanistan if it's possible

Who wrote this poor script to score the Dullard a cheap point??

So this small boys are science secondary school students or almajiris they picked from garage?? In the North fa where 15years old still dey pry 5

Why rob clay on their faces to make it look they have been rumpled, suffering and bastardised....??

The way boys are smiling and posed for camera alone defeat the aim of the script writer ..

Everything is wrong with this picture including the lorry used in rescuing them


The pictures oooozes fake fake fake

Shame shame shame to whoever orchestrated this falsehood

This people no rate us at all
So sad

The guy above me is one of the script writer

I disagree with your assessment bro. Human life is tenacious. Once one get past the initial shock, you had be surprised at how you welcome and adapt to your situation.
Inmates that are on death role at times find time to laugh at somethings. Those are kids in group that have experienced something very unusual, besides they are sure they are going home now. To them at that point they are just relieved. Ironically, the whole episode might look to them like an adventure, despite the fact that some of them might have gotten injured or died. That's how tenacious and adaptable human beings are. Or you think chibok and Daptchi girls are crying everyday where they are?
And I thought that school is a secondary school? If it is, then 15years old or even 20years old students aren't out of place.
Let's use logic always and try to keep the sanity of the society. The government today is terrible, but we shouldn't let that becloud our day to day judgement. I noticed about 200 people liked your post. Are those 200 people that have been swayed by your faulty assumption?

If you have the gift of psychology, you will see that this picture was intentionally set up to present him as a strong man. That snake was put on that table and notice how he is almost strangulating the poor animal just to make sure nothing unexpected happens. This shows fear.
Buratai is actually scared now. He knows his failure is epic and he is holding on to straws just to stay afloat.

Hello Nairaland; I am Destine with my instagram handle as https://www.instagram.com/o.l.a.e.d.o_
I am in my 20s and I reside in Portharcourt, Nigeria though I studied in Enugu. I took it upon myself to travel to every single state in Nigeria; and though I am yet to achieve this dream, I am getting closer to achieving my dream. I have been to these states;

Lagos
Abuja
Niger
Bayelsa
Abia
Delta
Ebonyi
Edo
Nasarawa
Imo
Rivers (winks)
Kogi
Anambra.

I have been to Benin Republic too! I look forward to travel to the far north; plans are still underway

I detail my journeys on my various experiences travelling across the breadth and length of Nigeria and one thing I have discovered is that though we are from various tribes in Nigeria, we are all pretty much the same. I have learnt to respect the opinions, belief and culture of the people I meet. Trust me, you have no idea how fun this country can be!

Check out my pictures and enjoy the scenery of the country we call home!

For more travel stories and pictures check out my Instagram. Thanks

https://www.instagram.com/o.l.a.e.d.o_/

Let me join you. I am incurably adventurous. I nurse the dream of being the first to scale Aso Rock and maybe hangglide from it. We could even find a way of visiting sambisa disguised in burga and take pictures...lol.
Importantly, you will still remain a single lady while I will remain a single guy too...unless u want otherwise

Dpharisee:
Odumeje is not different from Oyedepo and Adeboye they are all acclaimed Men of God. Did he scam you? Instead of traveling to Ogun state for Shiloh why not go to Adoration ground in Emene? Do you know how many people work for Aqua Rapha in Enugu?
Leave the people to follow the man they like

My friend, I no dey fight you. Like you forget you insinuated we should support him regardless of his shortcomings. That's what I am kicking against. I never said we shouldn't support our own, it wasnt what you raised.
Of course if anybody have the conviction that odumeje or anybody for that matter is good and have them at heart, they should support him.
However, evil doesn't have to affect me personally for me to speak out. An evil against an hausa is an evil against me an igbo man, an evil against an Indian is an evil against me. I don't want to benefit from the misfortunes of others
