i recently followed a friend to an orphanage (it was his birthday and he decided to spend it with the less privileged) he made both food and cash donations, truth is; i have been infected by compassion to help these people, i was touched and moved by the joy that was on their faces and appreciation that emanated from the donations. i am limited in spending for now. the question is; can i substitute my tithe offering for charity donation? any pastor in the house?

I love arsenal's team this. Season, seasoned with a lot of naija players, I remember those days when we had nigerian professionalplayers scattered all around the world and were highly respected, Nigerian footballers shall rise again!!!

Believing in extraordinary source of evil is absolutely unnecessary, man alone is capable of all wickedness...(Joseph conrad)

The problem I have with him is that; must they take his pictures? How has this helped the masses? Whether ekiti people like him or not is not the bane of contention anymore; this is a form of campaign. I wonder what position he has in mind, he would be elected as a senator though (if he goes for it) because of all this publicity but he should forget executive...

OgidiOlu3:
I wonder o. Wetin fit worse pass death?

he fit die, ressurect , and die again to say him fail...

Ola17:
Doesn't look like Adekunle o.

adekunle gold is a self proclaimed king of photoshop...

He means that the picture is a first class photoshop.

Why the negative energy always from this husbandless woman? Someone needs padlock on her mouth!!!

Great!


There are other kids living in bad conditions also and are not even chained but roaming about. poverty is really killing Nigerians. Poverty can turn a sane man insane. We are not asking the government to make us rich, they should just ensure food is available to Nigerians at affordable rate for us all... We don't need this eye service method government always employ, we want permanent solution to all the 'koredes' out there!!!

Very funny...I have a friend who used to bring ball to school, he was like our president then and we never offended him so that he would always select us...

vincentico:

Crazy funny dude I tell y'all. I really love this guy!!!

Nigerian government; through its policies and economic reforms, has plummeted its people to hardship. We are not going to talk about the ingenuity or the positive goals which these economic reforms seek to achieve, rather we will to shed light upon the hardship and why it will linger due to the actions or (largely) inactions of different parties in the country. These parties are not limited to:
1) Religious institutions: the religious institution in Nigeria is largely not people sensitive, all their functions tend towards expansion and growth. Our religious institutions are being ran just like business outfits; profit oriented. Sadly, some churches go to the extent of declaring their financial statement for fiscal years. I feel sad to tell you that our religious institutions have failed us. Ordinarily many economist believes in the reform of this present government, many have argued that there is a chunk of money in the economy but not circulating largely (but not limited to) due to church activities, that was why tax for churches has been the bane of debate in every administration of the country. The money expended on building lots of big houses for church activities (for more tithe collection), private jets and cars by a church can easily be channeled to alleviate poverty, or better still, help to alleviate the current hardship Nigerians face. Juxtaposing with Europe, religious institutions help the needy and act as intermediary; collecting from the surplus sector and channelizing to the deficit sector. When I was studying in England I was opportune to be a beneficiary of ‘hare Krishna’, I was fed by them till I graduated, I don’t even believe in their belief. How many churches can do that in Nigeria?
2)Nigerian labor congress: the Labor union has turned a blind eye towards alleviating the plight of the people through self-sustenance programs and other poverty alleviation programs. I wonder the function of the union to the masses aside strike action emanating only from increase in pump price. By now the union should have insurance and investments that can sustain many of its members through this hardship period as well as support the government in helping the poor masses. They can also incite the surplus sector to give to the needy through creation of different financial intermediary channels. But if it is not pump price, then it’s no business of NLC, smh…
3)Banks/Telecommunication: banks and telecommunication companies in Nigeria provide social responsibility in the most awkward way. It is high time they moved from planting trees and sponsoring sports to helping the needy. Banks need to revisit their social responsibility activities and directly help needy people by creating programs that can empower them. They can train them to be IT experts, phone repairers, etc.
4)Education sector: our lecturers and professors have failed us; they have limited their function only to classrooms. This is the time they can be of function to the government as well as to the people, they should come out and sensitize the people on the best way they can survive this hardship. They should also create absorber for the masses through innovative ideas which can help the people survive. This can be done by appealing to stake holders through media, workshop, etc on the different ways which they (stakeholders) can help alleviate hardship in the country. Last time I checked ASUU only goes on strike because of unpaid salaries or for salary increment. Smh.
4)People: the Nigerian people are too dependent on the government and largely not willing to help each other. A friend once told me that if there should be a swap of city of people in London and Ikorodu (for instance) for a year, Ikorodu would turn to haven of delight while London would turn to a slum. We as a people need to emancipate ourselves from our current mental orientation. We are our major problem. Our people need to unite more than ever and lift Nigeria up. Sadly this generation’s youth has been plagued with disturbing mentality; IPOD, Zombie, wailer character is the order of the day. Some are so brilliant in finding fault with the government but never bringing to the table suggestions that might lead us somewhere. If we don’t stand together as a people now then when? Remember we are saving our children’s lives and not just us.
If all these parties can work positively then be rest assure that Nigeria will be great again!

Now where is orubebe when you need one?

After too much thinking about naija problems, you don't know whether to go to church or beer parlor...

Lalasticlala, mynd44 please let's ease the price tension and make people laugh...

When you realise you just sold your diesel engine car and generator...

And everyone in the neighborhood starts chasing him...

You tell your friend to state at least one change APC has brought and he says this...

When you heard that buhari is travelling out again

When your friends start telling you that the removal of subsidy is for our own good...

You look at your children and want to discuss it with them and they are like

As you were about calling jonathan's name...

And he said market forces will bring the price down

When kachikwu mentioned 'dollar'...

You change channels, and you see kachikwu talking about how they arrived at 145
