CrimeOne Man Police Check Point by Tombilly(op): 11:47pm On Mar 07, 2018
On my way from church around 11:20pm, I saw three (3) police check points within the same vicinity with about 500-700 meters gaps from themselves. But the one that shock me the most was the one standing alone in a lonely street corner extorting money from commercial motorcyclist. All of the other groups were busy collecting their compulsory fifty naira #50 bribe from all the commercial riders including the single police officer. He was even threatening "if you no drop now I'll call station make them go lock you up now". My question is in the police act is there a provision that permits (One Man Patrol)?? This is happening in Karu, FCT (Abuja). Close to the IGP if his corridor cannot be well sanitize how do he intend to sanitize the whole country police officers? It's a normal routine here for them to collect #50 but my surprise was this guy standing alone. What if his rifle is snatch from him because he was carrying an AK-47 or he shoots anyone? Whose blame will that be?
Naija tire me walai.

CultureCharity Wrapped In Dignity by Tombilly(op): 5:11pm On Feb 12, 2018
I came across this post from a friend on facebook hope it inspires you.

CHARITY WRAPPED IN DIGNITY

She asked him, "How much are you selling the eggs for?"
The old seller replied to her, "1cedi for an egg, Madam."
She said to him, "I will take 6 eggs for 5 cedis, or I will leave."

The old seller replied, "Come take them at the price you want... May be this is a good beginning because I have not been able sell to anyone today."

The rich woman took them and walked away with a feeling that she has won. She got into her fancy car, went to pick her friend, and invited her to a posh restaurant. She and her friend sat down and ordered what they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered.
Then she went to pay the bill. The bill was 140 cedis. She gave him 150 cedis and said to the owner of the restaurant: "Keep the change."

This incident may seem quite normal to the owner of the restaurant. But it is very painful for the poor egg seller.

The bottom line is:
Why do we always show that we have the power when we buy from the needy and the poor? And why are we generous with those who do not need our generosity?

Every time a poor child comes to me to sell something simple, I remember a tweet from the son of a rich man who said, "After every prayer my father used to buy simple goods from poor people at expensive prices, even though he did not need them. Sometimes he used to pay more for them. I used to get concerned by this act and I asked him about it. Then my father told me:"

It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my son.

Compare these two stories of social hypocrisy. The first one is disappointing and the second one is inspiring...!

If this touched you let others be touched too! SHARE!!!

Trump caused it.

Where are those hailing Trump for shifting US' embassy to Jerusalemhuh

Jerusalem is a disputed area and UN recognises it as such, why should Trump take such a decision which UN doesn't approve of.

Some countries had their embassies in Jerusalem but where made to relocate by UN. Why should Trump go against the UNhuh Does intentionally want to spite the Muslims?

Trump is too anti-islam and anti-black. US will likely pay for his wrong policies.

NB: I'm not a Muslim and I do not support the terrorist act, I just stand for what is right
U're not a Muslim yes but you saying U're not a terrorist we refuse to agree with you Cuz U're a terrorist.

Bevista:
Can anyone please tell me what the Biblical prophesy is (with quotes)? Amazes me how folks try to justify a political decision (using the Bible) simply because it validates their religious prejudices.

To the best of my knowledge, Israelis are predominantly Jews (practising Judaism). Christians are an insignificant minority in Israel (< 3%), much less than Muslims (~37%). Israelis and Palestinians see Jesus only as economic messiah and not a spiritual messiah as most Christians do. They make a lot of money from Christian tourist and pilgrims (just like Saudi Arabia does with Muslims using Mecca).

Bethlehem (the Biblical birth place of Jesus) is even a Palestinian city. Read about The Church of Nativity.
Zacharia 12:6
(International Standard Version)
At that time, I will make the leaders of Judah like a brazier filled with blazing wood, or like a torch setting fire to harvested grain. They will devour all the invading armies, both on the right hand and on the left. As a result, Jerusalem will again be inhabited in its rightful place—as the real Jerusalem.'"

ComputersIs It Appropriate To Password An Official System? by Tombilly(op): 5:55am On Nov 08, 2017
Is it appropriate to password an official computer system belonging to an organization or maybe government agency because you are in custody of it? If yes, because of the valuable information in it what happens if the person dies?

Divorce difficult because they are Catholics?

No wonder promiscuity amongst married Catholic women is very high. Makes sense to me now.

Mr. Man, it is not only an abomination in all cultures what your wife just did. It is also insulting and a painful slap to your face.

Kick her out to her parents house first. Then,you can start the divorce proceedings later. But first kick her out today and not tomorrow.

What rubbish is this?and if the Catholic church wants to say anything,give them the middle finger and move on to the Anglican Church.

May God never let us bachelor's marry a girl,and then bring up the child of her EX boyfriend as ours, AMEN.

Expecting some useless people to call the News and the Newspaper a lie,because it says the woman was married in Anambra State.
Before you begin to express your folly and hatred against the Catholic Church do your research well. I've studied the Catholic Church catechism and doctrines so much to tell you authoritatively that the Church will grant him divorce if he so wish because the marriage was built on a lie. I won't go far to quote the churches canon but if you wish to be enlighten the more I'll. #Gracias. #ArdentCatholicFaithful
