Eeya, sorry o😊 This is how darkness often reacts when light is shined upon it. Had you stuck to your original narrative, you may have gotten away with it. But like all amateur story tellers, you got carried away and began to spin yarns. You see, your original story was more believable. You were telling us about your disappointing experiences at the hands of a particular branch of a particular Christian denomination. Then you turned it into a full blown attack on Christianity itself and you tried to tie your bad personal experiences to the teachings of Christ. That was were you miscalculated and goofed big time. You've overplayed your hand and exposed your dawah strategy. Ushame: wetin concern me with wetin u believe

Your story sounds dubious because it can easily be disproved with a 2 minute reading of the MFM's policy on giving alms to the poor. In the MFM's daily devotional guide, Mountain Top Life, the General Overseer, Dr. D.K. Olukoya, frequently teaches that caring for the poor should be a constant practice. He teaches that true religion involves actively helping those who are suffering. MFM even has a global department called the We Care Ministry. This group is specifically set up to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and provide shelter and financial support to the less privileged. So I don't believe your story. Ushame: Believe and say anything u like

I'm beginning to suspect you were never a Christian to begin with. Where in the Bible does it say that Christians do not give alms? Christ said we should give alms secretly, not publicly for the purpose of gai6n human praise: Matthew 6:1–4 “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them...” He also says that those who give alms mainly to be admired by others have already received their “reward” (human approval). “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” Just because Christians don't carry a megaphone and brag about our alms giving, doesn't mean that we don't give to the poor. Ushame: I can ask u some few questions now and u will confirm what i said with a different use of words.
U know what i said is the truth.
Why are u guys always preaching/announcing to Ur rich members to run far away from Ur poor members
Why do u preach against giving alms
Why do u treat poor people with disdain and complete disregard.
If u vex me now, i will go there and make a video evidence of everything by next week and upload it on social media to gain more grounds on this topic.
I have nothing against DK Olukoya, my anger is that he gave the place to freaks and charlatans to run.
Olukoya personally said they should not increase the fee, and he supported a lot of people too. He even helps other religion followers and i believe he is not aware of these activities over there.
If u want hard proof, source me to provide u video evidence of more than 10 fake pastors in a day and every inhumane activities of staffs working there. |

Well, you're a grown man. And you have the right to follow your conscience wherever it leads you. But as a Christian myself, what I will tell you is that you may be letting yourself in for a disappointment because when you get to your new destination, don't be surprised that you will very likely encounter the same set of circumstances. In Christianity, you shouldn't judge and condemn God because of the immorality of some wolves in sheep skin who profess with their tongues to follow God, while their hearts are far away from Him. You should judge Christianity by the moral foundation and moral character of the central founding figure of the faith, which is Christ Himself. I won't judge you because there's no doubt you put your faith in human nature and it let you down. Rather I will keep you in my prayers. Ushame: I will improve on this topic when am free.
I will give detailed view, share videos and even pictures and opinions of those that had similar experience

This is from the NIV translation which no real Christian uses because the scholars who translated it into English from the original Hebrew are atheists. The Hebrew word that the NIV translated as “rape” in Deuteronomy 22: 28 to 29 is תָּפַשׂ (pronounced as “tâphaś”) The word simply means to hold someone or something in your arms or hands. It does not have any connotation of force or violence. It is used in several places in the Old Testament to describe the simple action of holding something in your had be it a cup or a musical instrument or an oar. The actual word for rape in Hebrew is שָׁגָה ( pronounced as “shagah”) That word is used Isaiah 13:16 when the Prophet Isaiah is prophesying about the downfall of Babylon at the hands of its enemies: “...their houses shall be spoiled: and their wives shall be ravished.” The word “ravished” is an old fashioned way of saying rape. What Deuteronomy 22: 28 to 29 is actually saying is that where an unmarried woman and a married or unmarried man are tempted into having sex, the man would pay a fine for breaking the law and he was under obligation to marry the woman unless her father refused (Exodus 22:17) Once he married her, he could never divorce her. (Verses 28-29) pillager: Where in my quote have I dismissed the mother's grievances? Are the shekels blocking your eyes?
You are a known propagandist, and most of the post you push to FP regarding crimes committed by Muslims always ends with your dropping a subtle or even outright islamophobic remark, so every post your make with similar inclination will be perceived from the lens of islamophobia and not concern.
Take for example the nonsense your did in one of your recent thread, bandits who don't even claim any idealogy to begin with, kidnaps, rape women and you blame Islam for it, even though there's no where this crime is allowed, I showed you from your own Bible how rape is permitted, you didn't respond.
Bold of you to point the "muh low self esteem" finger when you have the Jewish phallus deep in your throat, worse if you're not getting paid.
people who say your Jesus is boiling in excreta in hellfire, call his mother the w word, yet you show hatred to us Muslims who dignify them? 😂. BTW according to the Torah (in Rabbi yosef mizrachi voice), you're an idol worshiper and you should be killed because you make God angry |

Sports › Jeremy Doku Criticised Over Plan To Leave Belgium Camp For Birth Of Child by TruthHurts1(op): 12:06pm On Jun 21 |
Winger Jeremy Doku has been criticised for saying he wants to leave Belgium's World Cup camp to be with his wife when she gives birth to their first child.
Doku's wife Shireen is due to give birth during the second week of July and he intends to return home even if the Red Devils are still in the tournament, which would then be at the quarter-final stage.
"It's my first child, so I would definitely want to be there," the Manchester City forward, 24, told Reuters, external.
"If you ask me what I want, my answer is that nobody wants to miss the birth of their first child. But I also know that football involves many other considerations.
"I know the federation supports its players and understands their situations. We'll see what we can do."
However, Doku's plan to leave the USA and return home has brought fierce criticism from L'Equipe channel presenter France Pierron, who labelled a father "completely useless" at the time of their child's birth.
"The World Cup is an incredible joy," she said in a message posted to the Facebook page of French sports publication L'Equipe.
"There are hundreds of footballers who would kill to be in your shoes. It might never happen again in your life.
"You're living out a childhood dream, yet you're going to walk away from it all to attend the birth of your child - a disgusting moment, if you'll pardon the expression, where the dad is completely useless." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cc74ywv08ylpo

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › French Court Confirms Hakimi Will Stand Trial For Rape by TruthHurts1(op): 11:54am On Jun 19 |
A French appeals court on Friday confirmed that Moroccan football star Achraf Hakimi will face trial for the alleged rape of a woman in 2023, which the Paris Saint-Germain defender denies.
In February 2023, a woman then aged 24 told police in the Val-de-Marne region southeast of Paris that Hakimi had raped her.
The PSG right-back and captain of the Moroccan national team, whose second match of the 2026 World Cup kicks off on Friday against Scotland, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Shortly after the Versailles Court of Appeal delivered its ruling, Hakimi wrote on X that he had been “waiting for this trial since day one.”
“At last, I’ll be able to speak,” he said.
A date has not been announced for the start of the trial at the criminal court in the Hauts-de-Seine department.
“This confirmation was expected. Nothing here says that he is guilty of anything, he remains steadfast in his defence,” Hakimi’s lawyer Fanny Colin said.
The plaintiff’s lawyer Rachel-Flore Pardo said the decision brought her client “relief and hope”.
The plaintiff said she met Hakimi in January 2023 on Instagram and went to his home in a taxi ordered by the player, a police source said at the time.
She claimed that the player kissed her, touched her without her consent and then raped her.
She said she managed to push him away and text a friend, who came to pick her up.
Speaking to the press for the first time in a Mediapart article published Thursday, the woman, using the pseudonym Jeanne, said she wanted a trial “to defend myself, to be heard”.
“I want to explain myself. I want people to believe me,” she added. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/06/french-court-confirms-moroccan-football-star-hakimi-will-stand-trial-for-rape/

Health › Nigerian Doctors Raise Alarm: Only 55,000 Doctors For Nigerians by TruthHurts1(op): 7:06am On Jun 18 |
Medical doctors have raised alarm that the country’s healthcare system is facing a dangerous manpower crisis, with only about 55,000 doctors left to serve a population of more than 220 million people.
They raised the alarm at the Ordinary General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Association of Resident Doctors, ARD, Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, FNPH, Yaba, Lagos, with the theme, “Too Few Doctors, Too Many Patients: The Consequences of Manpower Shortage on the Mental Well-being of Nigerians.”
The doctors, among whom are mental experts, also said the present situation is worsening access to psychiatric care and leaving millions of vulnerable Nigerians untreated.
The doctors also said no fewer than 16,000 Nigerian doctors have emigrated in the last five years, worsening an already dire manpower shortage in the country’s health sector.
They warned that the sustained exodus of healthcare workers under the “Japa” syndrome had severely depleted the country’s mental health workforce, widened treatment gaps, increased the cost of care and placed enormous pressure on the few specialists remaining in the system.
Confirming the situation to Vanguard yesterday, the President of Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, Prof Omoti Ernest, said recent data showed that the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, had registered over 130,000 doctors but noted only about 55,000 are actively practicing within Nigeria.
He said with a population exceeding 220 million, this translated to roughly one doctor for every 3,600 to 4,000 people.
“This ratio is far below the World Health Organisation’s recommended threshold of one doctor to about 600 people, highlighting the significant shortage of medical personnel and the strain on healthcare delivery.
“Many Nigerian-trained doctors have emigrated or are no longer engaged in active clinical practice, contributing to the country’s healthcare workforce shortage,” the NMA President said.
He said the emigration of skilled professionals in search of better opportunities abroad has had a significant impact on Nigeria’s hospitals and healthcare workforce.
He said further: “Thousands of doctors and other healthcare professionals have left the country in recent years, leading to severe staff shortages, increased workload for those who remain with many suffering from burnout, longer waiting times for patients, and declining quality of care in many public hospitals.
“Rural and under-served communities have been particularly affected, as they already struggle with limited access to healthcare services.
‘’The reasons behind this migration include poor remuneration, inadequate working conditions, insecurity, limited opportunities for career advancement, and insufficient investment in healthcare infrastructure, among others.
“Many professionals are attracted by better pay, improved facilities, and more stable environments in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.”
‘What can be done’
To address the trend, he said the Federal Government should prioritise salaries and welfare packages for healthcare workers, invest more in modern medical equipment and hospital infrastructure, expand residency and specialist training opportunities, and create clear career progression pathways.
Omoti said: “Strengthening security, ensuring timely payment of wages, and providing incentives for professionals to work in under-served areas will also help retain talent.
‘’In addition, partnerships with the private sector and diaspora engagement programmes could encourage Nigerian healthcare professionals abroad to contribute their expertise and support development of the country’s healthcare system.”
Speaking at the parley, a Consultant Psychiatrist at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Dr. Yesir Kareem, said Nigeria’s doctor-to-patient ratio had fallen to about one doctor for more than 10,000 patients, far below the World Health Organisation’s recommended ratio of one doctor to 600 people.
According to him, the consequences are particularly devastating for mental healthcare.
“Only about 55,000 doctors remain to serve a population of over 220 million Nigerians. More than 40 million Nigerians suffer from mental health disorders, yet about 85 per cent of them do not have access to mental healthcare services,” Kareem said.
He noted that Nigeria’s shortage of psychiatrists and other mental health specialists has reached alarming levels, warning that untreated mental illnesses contribute to family breakdowns, substance abuse, unemployment, delayed diagnosis and premature deaths.
“The economic consequences are equally devastating, with billions of dollars lost annually due to untreated mental health conditions,” he added.
He also noted that 94,000 doctors and nurses had left Nigeria since the Japa syndrome started some years ago.
He said the doctors were leaving due to poor remuneration and delayed salaries, competitive salaries in destination countries, overwhelming patient loads (1:10,000+), better work-life balance and conditions, and inadequate medical equipment & facilities.
He also listed access to modern medical technology, limited career advancement opportunities, professional development and training, unsafe working conditions and long hours, unstable political and economic environment and insecurity and socioeconomic instability as factors encouraging migration of doctors from the country.
President of the Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria, APN, Dr. Veronica Nyamali, in a chat with Vanguard, described the manpower shortage as a crisis that had forced consultants to abandon higher-level responsibilities, such as research and specialist care, in order to fill gaps left by departing doctors.
“There are gaps everywhere. Work that should be done by four psychiatrists is now being handled by one or two people. Consultants are increasingly forced to work at lower levels because the doctors they are supposed to supervise are no longer there,” she said.
Nyamali lamented that many doctors undergoing specialist training now leave the country before completing their careers in Nigeria, creating persistent vacancies across psychiatric facilities.
“Those we train are leaving. Junior registrars, senior registrars, many complete their examinations and return abroad. The result is that we have shortages at every level of care,” she stated.
Disclosing that the country currently has less than 150 psychiatrists, she warned that the dwindling number of specialists is making mental healthcare increasingly expensive and inaccessible, especially for patients in rural communities where psychiatrists are virtually non-existent.
‘Specialists now scarce’
“When specialists become scarce, services become more expensive. Access becomes difficult because patients must travel long distances to find care. This is contrary to the principle of universal health coverage, where mental health services should be available, affordable and accessible to everyone,” Nyamali said.
The APN president further linked the brain drain to a shrinking pharmaceutical landscape, saying several pharmaceutical companies had either scaled down operations or exited the country, reducing access to newer and more effective psychiatric medications.
“We now have fewer treatment options. Some of the newer drugs that offer better outcomes are no longer readily available. At the same time, the market is being flooded with fake medicines, making treatment even more challenging,” she warned.
Nyamali noted that the shortage of specialists has created room for greater reliance on traditional and faith-based healers, who are often the first point of contact for people with mental illnesses.
While acknowledging their influence within communities, she said psychiatrists are increasingly collaborating with traditional and religious healers to discourage harmful practices such as chaining, flogging and unlawful confinement of persons living with mental disorders.
“We recognise that people go to them first because they are available, accessible and affordable. Rather than confront them, we are engaging them and providing basic mental health education so that harmful practices can be eliminated and patients referred appropriately,” she explained.
Nyamali also highlighted the growing burden of mental illness in Nigeria, linking rising cases to worsening economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment, substance abuse, kidnappings and other traumatic experiences.
“People are being traumatised daily. Poverty, joblessness, violence and insecurity are all social determinants of mental illness. Those already living with mental health conditions are relapsing more frequently, while many others are developing new mental health challenges because of the pressures of daily living,” she said.
She expressed concern that mental healthcare remains largely financed through out-of-pocket spending, despite the chronic nature of many psychiatric conditions.
“Mental illness is not properly covered under health insurance. Many of the newer medications are not included in insurance drug lists, leaving families to bear enormous treatment costs. The burden on care-givers is huge,” she added.
At the conference, the President of ARD, FNPH Yaba, Dr. Okuwoga Temitope, said the shortage of doctors has become a major threat to access to quality mental healthcare in Nigeria.
“As mental health professionals, we witness first hand the widening treatment gap, the burden on already stretched healthcare workers and the impact these shortages have on access to quality mental healthcare for Nigerians,” he said.
Temitope noted that resident doctors are increasingly battling burnout, anxiety, stress and depression due to overwhelming workloads caused by the shortage of manpower.
The association urged federal and state governments to improve remuneration, strengthen welfare packages, expand specialist training programmes, improve working conditions and increase investment in mental healthcare to stem the tide of migration.
The doctors also advocated the integration of mental health services into primary healthcare centres, wider deployment of telepsychiatry and increased public awareness to reduce stigma and improve early treatment seeking.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the conference, the association reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the welfare of resident doctors and improving access to quality mental healthcare services across the country.
It also urged the management of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, to expedite the enrolment of newly employed resident doctors on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, to prevent salary delays and financial hardship.
The doctors, however, commended the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Olugbenga Owoeye, for restoring public electricity supply to the Yaba and Oshodi arms of the institution after a prolonged outage, while calling for more stable power to support patient care and residency training. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/06/japa-only-55000-doctors-left-for-220m-nigerians/

Business › Elon Musk Becomes World's First Trillionaire by TruthHurts1(op): 2:45pm On Jun 12 |
Few business leaders have been as deeply embedded in popular culture as Elon Musk, the ambitious entrepreneur who has become a central figure in internet culture and amassed a fortune that has made him the world's first trillionaire. At a time when concerns about inequality are high and public attitudes toward the ultra-wealthy have soured, Musk has managed to retain a loyal following despite his stratospheric net worth and without the folksy persona that endeared other tycoons such as Warren Buffett to the masses. The Reuters Inside Track newsletter is your essential guide during the World Cup. Sign up here. While admirers view Musk's no-filter style as part of his appeal, critics have accused him of wielding oligarch-like power, raised concerns about governance at his companies and objected to his increasingly partisan political interventions. Still, SpaceX, the sprawling rocket, satellite and AI company that together with electric-car maker Tesla form the center of Musk's empire, raised a record $75 billion in its initial public offering on Thursday, highlighting investor enthusiasm for his business ventures. Prior to the share sale, Forbes pegged his net worth at roughly $780 billion, far ahead of the man next in line, Alphabet co-founder Larry Page. "The second richest person has been hovering around $300 billion, so about less than one-third of what Musk can potentially be worth tomorrow," said Matt Durot, deputy editor at Forbes Wealth. "And only one other person, (Oracle founder) Larry Ellison, has ever been worth $400 billion.” Most of Musk's wealth now rests with SpaceX, where he holds a stake worth roughly $866 billion. Along with Tesla and the rest of his properties, his net worth will exceed $1.1 trillion when the stock begins trading Friday, according to Reuters calculations based on company filings. The tally includes stock components that would vest over time. Musk became a household name through Tesla (TSLA.O) and SpaceX before expanding his influence with the $44-billion acquisition of social media platform Twitter in 2022. The deal gave him a direct channel to hundreds of millions of users and made him a prominent voice on issues ranging from politics and immigration to government spending and free speech. His move into politics, particularly his role in U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency last year, has been among his most contentious ventures. The political fallout coincided with weakening Tesla sales in several international markets in 2025 as protests and consumer boycotts targeted the electric vehicle maker. THE ELON PREMIUMMusk, 54, was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to a Canadian mother and South African father. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1997. He took over as Tesla's CEO in 2008 with the conviction that electric vehicles could combine high performance with software-driven features, helping redefine the global automotive industry. Some auto-industry watchers say Tesla’s success – and its trillion-dollar-plus market cap – helped prod traditional automakers to pivot to electric cars. Many investors are betting he can repeat the feat in space and artificial intelligence. Yet SpaceX remains cash-hungry, and much of the company's valuation rests on technologies that may take years or decades to become commercially viable. Beyond Tesla and SpaceX, Musk has co-founded five other companies, including tunneling startup The Boring Company and brain implant maker Neuralink. As CEO of Tesla, Musk has courted controversy and praise in equal measure. He is credited with turning Tesla into the world's most valuable automaker. Executives at legacy automakers dismissed the threat for years, skeptical that a startup car company could figure out how to mass produce electric vehicles profitably. “He renewed the world's respect for American ingenuity in automotive engineering,” said Bob Lutz, a former General Motors vice chairman. At the same time, Tesla has faced legal challenges and shareholder concerns tied to its storied CEO, particularly his 2018 pay package, once worth $56 billion. Musk's influence has become so pervasive that market observers have dubbed the network of businesses around him the "Muskonomy." The phenomenon has given rise to what some investors call the "Elon premium," a valuation boost driven as much by faith in Musk's vision as by traditional financial metrics. "Much like Tesla, SpaceX is a bet on Elon Musk," said Matt Kennedy, senior strategist at Renaissance Capital, a provider of IPO-focused research and ETFs. "A market cap of $1.5 trillion-$2 trillion would certainly throw all traditional valuation methodologies out the window, and is instead best characterized as the 'Elon Musk premium.'" MUSK UNFILTEREDThe concentration of influence around a single entrepreneur has amplified concerns about corporate governance, conflicts of interest and the risks of tying company fortunes too closely to one individual. Over the years, Musk has turned clashes with regulators, billionaires, short sellers, journalists and media organizations, including Reuters, into recurring public battles that often unfolded on social media. Musk's alliance with Trump followed a familiar pattern. After helping bankroll Trump's return to the White House and serving in a senior advisory role through the administration's DOGE initiative, Musk became one of the president's closest corporate allies. The relationship later fractured amid disagreements over policy and spending, spilling into a public feud. Though the two have since struck a more conciliatory tone, their falling-out highlighted the increasingly blurred lines between Musk's business empire and political ambitions. Yet for many investors, concerns about Musk's often unconventional behavior are outweighed by his track record of turning ambitious ideas into some of the world's most valuable companies. "Elon is the Edison of our time," JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) CEO Jamie Dimon said during a recent conversation with Musk. The banker, a former adversary of Musk in a prolonged legal battle, has since become an admirer. Dimon told CNBC last year that the pair had "hugged it out," and hailed Musk as "our Einstein." https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/spacex-ipo-makes-elon-musk-worlds-first-trillionaire-2026-06-11/Mynd44 lalasticlala nlfpmod |

I don't expect it will make any difference if they appoint Iraola.
I watched Antoine Semenyo's interview on Iraola's training methods at Bournemouth and I was shocked. They might work in a small club with modest ambitions like Bournemouth. In a big club like Liverpool, he will likely lose the dressing room in a record time. |

That sense you have been running away from, will finally catch up with you today. When have you ever heard of ESN gunmen going in convoys to kidnap school children in Katsina, Kwara, Kaduna, Oyo etc in the same way that your beloved bandits have been doing? Or when have you heard of ESN gunmen go to attack Churches like your beloved bandits did in Owo, Ondo State or the attack on the church in Eruku Kwara State? Whether you have enough intelligence to understand the point I'm trying to make is irrelevant, but Nnamdi Kanu is a separatist agitator who confines himself to his region while your beloved bandits are bent on subjugating an entire country and they are making their intentions known to the whole world. Whether you grasp this or not is entirely up to ýou. goslowgoslow: Imagine the rubbish this one is saying Mr intelligence! Kanu wants east to leave Nigeria so he instigated the killings of his own people. Ojukwu will be crying in his grave. Mr spare me all those your lecturing I am not a child I know what is going on everybody knows what is going on. Whoever told you that it cannot be the turn of the east tomorrow? This one is telling me the location of Ogbomosho lmao 😂 😅. Kanu is not different from bandits period. |

This analogy lacks intelligence. The insecurity in the East is because Kanu wants the East to leave Nigeria. As far as I'm aware, they haven't tried to export their insecurity to other parts of Nigeria. They have confined it to their region. Meanwhile the religiously inspired insecurity and criminality of the kidnappers is something they are intent on forcing everyone in the country to live with. Just last year, if anyone had told me that these criminals from Sambisa would have penetrated into the SW as far as Ogbomosho, I would have laughed at the person. But here we are in 2026 and it is unfolding for everyone to see. Ogbomosho is just a few hours drive from Lagos and Ibadan and with the highly incompetent way that this administration has been handling insecurity, don't be surprised when the criminals start operating with impunity even in Lagos before the end of this year. goslowgoslow: Simple comprehension is your problem. If Kanu can cause insecurity and killings in the east what makes him different from bandits? Don't worry it will soon get there. Did unknown gun men killed people in the West? But they did in the east. Instead of answering the question you are spewing gibberish. |

The religious ideology of the kidnappers was not invented by the black man saheed24: The blood tasty demons of hell should release the innocent little kids for goodness sake asap. What sort of a evil devil resides in the black man heart. |
