What the rape act? Was it only the gay act that you saw? angry It would have been okay if it was a straight rape instead of a gay rape?angry
The rape is very condemnable... but there are witnesses, so chances of him being convicted is high. Rape carries a death sentence/life sentence in many African jurisdictions.

Not in support of this......where is forgiveness? Even Christ forgive those that killed him...and here we are talking about blackmailing if it’s true
Nothing wrong with this bro... even God doesn’t forgive in vaccum - He doesn’t volunteer forgiveness. And that was Christ’s calling. Christians are allowed to speak for themselves - Peter and Paul regularly did this.

Plus, reputation is so important in life. A good name is better than silver and gold. I would advise you guard your reputation jealously - Christian or not.

Higher number of Nigerian ladies are becoming really Shameless, Selfish and think they deserve things just because they are females.

That’s why a lot of them are into professional hookups these days. I see the little ones on my Facebook too, the trend is really crazy.

Parents please train your wards better. They need to be street smart not street hookers/peddlers.

I saw this earlier on instablog. So Crazy

But seriously, Nairaland is not good for video news I swear. Seun it's about time, you put a feature that can make us watch a video on nairaland directly and also upload videos and not photos alone.. Even some small small blogs have that feature, how much more a big forum like NL.

It's boring having to click on a link that would take us to instagram, YouTube etc.

For instance I could even want to upload a DIY video for tutorial purpose for nairalanders, but don't have a YouTube account. Even though I have, it's still annoying that I'd have to upload it there first, or maybe Instagram, then post the link here. Many people wouldn't even bother clicking the link.

Seun pls upgrade I beg!!!!!
And give us more smileys!!!! Or let us use the ones already on our phones keypad. 15 boring green smileys can no longer capture our expressions again. Eshey gan

Redistribution for immediate consumption, financed by debt that your kids are going to pay. You remind me of the story of the old man who squandered his earnings and that of his unborn children.
Regardless, improved conditions of living Bro. Big economies thrive because the citizens thrive. It’s not enough, but at least a wise youth can utilise it appropriately.
May God help the country.
NYSCRe: Happy Corpers Chanting "Sai Baba! APC!" As NYSC Allowance Is Increased To N50k by Venerable612(m): 6:07pm On Aug 15, 2018
Freetech:
What most of the people commenting above failed to realise is that the only way Nigeria can develop a through redistribution of the Nation wealth. This is the only way business can thrive. The major problems of Nigeria and Africa as a whole is the fact that the purchasing power of the huge population is almost zero. They can't afford new technology. The nation resources is in hand of few who will never patronise local biz but are obsessed with imported goods

This government is doing redistribution right from it's inception in 2015 but turn by turn based on availability of resources.

The farmers were the first set of people to enjoy this. Remember Kebbi rice farmers and Cocoa farmers. Also fertilizer made available for all farmers without middle men

The school lunch program for children of the poor in public school. This apart from the 5k per month for the extremely poor individual.

All these didn't start this year.
It's call social policy.

Then the unemployed youth through N power. Now it is the turn of the Corpers.

The civil servants already have access to housing loan without equity contribution and soon will have a new salary.

This was not possible before because only one person will collect the money belonging to a whole community and pocket it .

If this was done during the 16 wasted years of PDP,, it would have been a great story of development
Very intelligent post.

To think that she passed through the whole difficulties and stress of
1. Passing Primary School and the common Entrance
2. Passing Waec and Jamb for God knows how many times,
3. University lectures, examinations, early morning classes, fellowship meetings, final year project, clearance for NYSC, 3 weeks orientation, PPA hassles, CDS and monthly clearance wahala.

And to think that the Parents struggled to pay for all her fees, living expenses and prayed for her to be successful through all these ordeals.

Only for her destiny to be cut short in such a horrifying manner, by the Same people meant to protect her.

Such a heart break. May heaven keep us from untimely death in Jesus name.
Christianity EtcWhere Did God Come From? by Venerable612(op): 8:31am On Jul 22, 2018
We know that all things come from God.

At a point Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:16

“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see--such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him”

In Hebrew 11:3

“By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”..

Another version (Berean version) makes it clearer.

“By faith we understand the universe to have been formed by the word of God, so that the things being seen have not been made from the things being visible.”

Logically, we understand that the universe was created by God. What we do not understand is how God himself came to be.

It only means God has always been - had no beginning and will have no ending.

If this is true, could He also have had other co-eternal beings? I mean it is so convenient to think that only God is eternal.

Could water be co-eternal with God? - bible starts with “the Spirit of God was hovering above the waters (Genesis 1).

Or perhaps, could this just mean human logic cannot explain Spiritual mysteries - demonstrating the finitude of human knowledge.

Regardless - the origin of God still remains a mystery! And we have to make Heaven to find that out.

This is how bloggers destroy friendships. I really don’t understand how some people would be happy feeding off other people’s miseries.

For all we know, this supposed competition might never have been thought of - and this blogger has just subconsciously drawn people’s, and the parties, attention to this nonsense.

I am pretty sure both of them understands they are stars in their own rights. And anyone who watches Yoruba nollywoood knows Nina doesn’t even come close to Odunlade - by all measures. May be Femi Adebayo or Muyiwa - and those ones are big stars in their own rights too.


Believe these Bloggers at your peril.

marylandcakes:
Just so you know white is also a colour , if you refer yourself as someone of colour, you are confirming that white is a superior colour and anyone not white is coloured.
I live in a predominantly white country I have never been referred to as coloured.
Alright sir. You can speak for yourself sir. Let me educate you a bit....

“The term "person of color" (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC)[1] is used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not white.

Although American activist Martin Luther King Jr. used the term "citizens of color" in 1963, the phrase in its current meaning did not catch on until the late 1970s.

Use of the term "person of color", especially in the United States, is often associated with the social justice movement.[15] Style guides from the American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style,[16] the Stanford Graduate School of Business,[17] and Mount Holyoke College[18] all recommend the term "person of color" over other alternatives. Unlike "colored", which refers only to blacks and is often considered offensive, "person of color" and its variants refer inclusively to all non-European peoples—often with the notion that there is political solidarity among them—and "are virtually always considered terms of pride and respect"....

So I usually don’t get on arguments like this here. But I think it’s important you understand people’s point of view before attempting to correct what is right.

And for a second, yes I think whites are naturally supreme to other races. You can dispute that all you want - but that’s a given; with the only exception that each individual can be whatever he/she wants to be. And no, I don’t consider myself to be a second class human being.

I won’t be replying your mentions again. Thanks.

marylandcakes:
Are you a black man and this is 2018? And you are using the word coloured on your fellow black. White people dont even use this term any more. I’m ashamed huh
I will reply you politely.

First ... no one is black, we are dark skinned.

Second, Black is considered derogatory, reason we are referred to as men-women of colour.

Thirdly, I don’t understand, how many whites have you met? - even if you have met a thousand, you still haven’t met all whites, so why generalise?

Plus, you don’t need to be ashamed. It’s my statement, if I am not ashamed you don’t need to worry at all.

Andy2274:
To me, just take up the job. Assuming it's it's USA or CANADA or AUSTRALIA or GERMANY that you are going for the scholarship I would have advised you to go because some people I know that went for masters in UK find it difficult to get job there or stay there to work. They will come back to Nigeria looking for job but the ones I know that did their masters in US, Canada, Australia and Germany easily get job over there and most of them even settle down there easily. Depending on what you want. If you are staying back after your masters or coming back to Nigeria. But if I am in your position and the kpmg job is ok, I will take the job except my masters degree is in the countries I earlier mentioned aside UK then I will go. My opinion though..
You made a lot sense!
PhonesRe: Review Of The World's Largest smartphone Factory Samsung Built In India (photos) by Venerable612(m): 9:17am On Jul 13, 2018
Nigeria is a huge market for these smartphone manufacturers. But our supply chain to other parts of Africa and legal structure for foreign investments is still unattractive.

We have the workforce, land mass, access to Chinese imports for components and the demand conditions are favourable. The African Continental free trade may improve supply chain value. If we increase tariffs for importing these goods - we may likely strong arm to manufacture it here - rather than rely on imports.

This is quite amazing.

It costs a lot to build infrastructure for a school, let alone the running costs for maintaining facilities and paying staffs.

I hope this can continue to stay afloat. May be some other church fathers/GOs can take a cue from this and drop all their God this God that Mantra.

The Yorubas are still benefiting from the same feat Awolowo achieved in the 70s.
