jmaine: Loaded stuff . . . cool

The article said Akwa Ibom won the oil well dispute with Rivers State which i consider false. COs it happened the other way round with Amaechi coming out victorious . . .
I do remember a thread on nl referencing some rivers oil wells being given to akwa ibom though.

Or was it cross rivers oil wells?

What do you disagree with in my post?

Other schools dont have cults?

There's nothing unusual about the way i think, some of you are just too comfortable to see whats right in front of you in plain view, thats all.
CultureRe: Yoruba once dwell in Egypt by tpia5: 3:00pm On Jul 13, 2013
Thats interesting.

It could still show european contact though, the question being at what stage exactly did the contact occur.

Semitic or atlantic.


The word jibiti has a similar prefix as juba which seems to be ju, or j. Assuming juba isnt a complete morpheme on its own.( wbb to edit). Both words seem to point to influences if not roots outside nigeria, specifically the sudanic side.


The same impression is given when you look at an alternative yoruba word for mountain- okuta or okiti. The ki seems to be mirrored around the part of africa closer to the middle east. This could imply a migration or influences from somewhere around that region.

Is there anywhere you dont see nigerians?

Kenya itself is an extension of nigeria.

Indescribable


From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

hardywaltz: The first person Chidi hit with the mace is Martins Chinda, while the guy been beaten up by Ameachi's ADC which Chidi comes back to "plank" is Kelechi Nworgu (both men dressed in similar manner)
Look carefully and you will notice that one is fatter than the other.
i thought the two men beaten by chidi were different, but i wasnt sure. . . . .

the dressing is the same.

So the second man (kelechi nworgu), i assume is also in the hospital.

he was very badly beaten, and in the latter half of the clip, it was three men who were hitting him. I was wondering how could chinda return to the room after being pursued by chidi.

i hope all this isnt a nollywood production sha!. Very strange events.

You Found Me


I've got nowhere to turn, I've got
nowhere to hide, and I've got no alibi,
You've been following me, you know
my history, and no matter how hard I try,
I can't explain away
The way I feel today
There's only one thing I can say:

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

There was so many days, trying to
figure out ways to explain what I feel inside,
I tried to fill up my soul without
using control, this desire never did subside,
I'm ready to give in
I know I'll never win
The hide and seek that I've been in

(Chorus)

In the pit of despair, I was all alone there.
I wasn't looking for You, but You found me anyway.
You put Your hand on face, then you changed my ways.
Nothing can separate me from...

Higher Ground (I'm Pressing on the Upward Way)


Im pressing on the upward way,
New heights Im gaining every day;
Still praying as Im onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Refrain:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satans darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still Ill pray till Heavn Ive found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Let the Walls Fall Down


Let the walls fall down (let the walls fall down)
Let the walls fall down (let the walls fall down)
Let the walls fall down (let the walls fall down)
By His love, let the walls fall down.

One by one, we're drawn together
One by one, to Jesus' side
One in Him, we'll live forever
Strangers He has reconciled.

In His love, no walls between us
In His love a common ground
Kneeling at the cross of Jesus
All our pride comes tumbling down

Before The Morning

Do you wonder why you have to,
Feel the things that hurt you,
If there's a God who loves you,
Where is He now?

Maybe, there are things you can't see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending
Some day, some how, you'll see, you'll see

Would you dare, would you dare, to believe,
That you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
Can't compare to the joy that's coming

So hold on, you got to wait for the light
Press on, just fight the good fight
Because the pain you've been feeling,
It's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
And you know where you're going,
You just don't know how you get there
So just say a prayer.
And hold on, cause there's good who love God,
Life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time,
But you'll see the bigger picture


So hold on, you got to wait for the light
Press on, just fight the good fight
Because the pain you've been feeling,
It's just the dark before the morning
Yeah, yeah,
Before the morning,
Yeah, yeah

Once you feel the way of glory,
All your pain will fade to memory
Once you feel the way of glory,
All your pain will fade to memory
Memory, memory, yeah


Com'n, you got to wait for the light
Press on, just fight the good fight
Because the pain you've been feeling,
It's just the hurt before the healing
The pain you've been feeling,
Just the dark before the morning
Before the morning, yeah, yeah
Before the morning

Words I Would Say


It's Three in the morning
and I'm still awake
so I picked up a pen and a page.
And I started writing
just what I'd say
if we were face to face

I'd tell you just what you mean to me
Tell you these simple truths

Be strong in the Lord and
never give up hope.
You're gonna do great things
I already know
God's got his hand on you so
don't live life in fear
forgive and forget
but don't forget why you're here
Take your time and pray
These are the words I would say

Last time we spoke
you said you were hurting
and I felt your pain in my heart
I want you to know
that I keep on praying
Love will find you where you are

I know 'cause I've already been there
So just hear these simple truths



From one simple life to another
I will say
Come find peace in the Father

When I Call On Jesus


I'm so very ordinary
Nothing special on my own
I have never walked on water
I have never calmed a storm
Sometimes I'm hiding away
From the madness around me
Like a child who's afraid of the dark

[Chorus:]
But when I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven
And earth to come rescue me when I call

Lalalala...

Weary brother
Broken daughter
Widow, widowed lover
You're not alone
If you're tired and
Scared of the madness around you
If you can't find the strength to carry on

[Chorus]

Call Him in the mornin'
In the afternoon time
Late in the evenin'
He'll be there
When your heart is broken
And you feel discouraged
You can just remember that He said
He'll be there

God So Loved The World


Chorus:
God so loved the world
That He gave His one and only Son
That whosoever believes in Him
will not perish but have everlasting life

I try so hard to find the words to say
To let you know how great is this God to whom I pray
Nothing can or ever will compare
To the peace that flows in your soul when He is living there

Oh I know you've been through so much
It's hard to contemplate letting go and reaching out in trust
But I know the simple truth
That love is here for you
So take Him at His word and see what He can do

The promise is yours and mine
Take hold of this love
For the rest of your life

But it's time to take a step of faith
Be prepared for Jesus' love to carry you away.

PoliticsRe: Evans Bipi Boasts About Beating-Up Chidi Loyd In Rivers Assembly by tpia5:
thanks for the replies.

from the video, he [chinda] does seem to have been caught offguard by the beating.

the blue guy [bipi] seemed more aware and cautious.

chinda seemed to be trying to reason with or explain something to chidi lloyd, although it could also be he was asking why he was hitting him.

not sure sha.

but if he [chinda] had earlier taken part in beating up chidi lloyd earlier, why wasnt he more aware of the danger, why come back into the chambers, or hang around for chidi to catch him?

Did he come back to fight chidi and thats when the policeman joined in?

in the video:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkwMxrZIIqc

there's a fan @ 0.23 (on the right). Chidi chases chinda out of the room, beating him along the way. Chinda exits through the door, followed by chidi.

Then, @ 0.33, we see chinda back in the chambers (not sure if its the same room though because now the fan is on the left). But this time, the police officer is beating chinda (?) and another person also joined in and beat him. Then chidi returns and beats him again.

now, where is the cut from when chinda first exited the room, hotly pursued by chidi, and when we see chinda being set on by the police officer and the two others?

what happened in that interval, and why did chinda return after he ran out- was he forced back inside, where were the people who were standing by in the first segment when chidi first used the mace?
