Who ever posted this is either working for phcn or fire service because firstly. I live just in the next building, the fire was put off by the combined efforts of the sorounding residence.I personally was in contact with the emergency unit '767' sept of LGSG who followed up by informing perhaps the fire service although none showed up.Also as at this time no news of death has been reported by the members of the family and the second affected person was a male not female.

Respect is good it exhibits humility and promotes cordial,healthy relationship amongst people .But I don't understand and neither have I read from the Bible where bowing down completely or postraiting to another person and the Person accepts such act .I think those are man made traditions and need not to be seen among christians.

Predictions not prophecies. Biblical prophecies by real prophets give you dates,names,locations etc.They only deceive the gullible Nigerians that seek after signs and wonders as their approval that God is with them. Rem the Bible says gifts and callings are without repentance. These so called prophets are mediums and not Christians, they are everywhere right from the Bible days some with even accurate Predictions yet check their lives no christian character but just make ups.

Most fraudulent bank MDs and Ministry PS(Permanent Secretaries and ES( Executive Secretaries)in the past are the smart ones. They create loopholes in the system.

Gej may have allowed his govt to squander a lot of money but saying He did not build roads is not fair at all especially coming from the VP.I personally travel for business and I know with network of roads Gej built it's amazing compared to any govt.He actually did much in the north.He started the Lagos-benin road that we all thought will never see the light of day. Remember it was said that Obj govt squandered N300b meant for it.

Let's get things right President Jonathan said He was caged and I believe that seeing all the enormous embezzlement under his nose and hardly can they trace it back to His Personal Expenditure like Abacha,Ibb,Obj etc. The world is honouring Him not because he was a week administrator but because He Initiated Peace and to an extension world Peace.

Information before prophecies. If I am exposed or privileged to get some secret information regarding a very classified govt intention .I can prophesy about it knowing without any doubt that it will happen. This will make people believe me so much. That is not to say they are no genuine prophecies. But a prophet without a Christian life to back it up is no more than a mere gift that will just keep you on the surface of the Earth but not Haven bound. You are just a mere tool in the kingdom but certainly not a member. You will find them all over the Bible Eg Balak. You find in this great country Nig. Gods ordained Prophets don't guess or prophesy half and half God's prophecies never fail, it's absolute and Exact. You don't pay for them .if you like heal the sick, Raise the Dead,move mountains if your life is questionable in any aspect forget about heaven. Those gifts are earthly bound ,The real thing is a genuine Born Again Holy Ghost filled christian and it's not hidden, the Bible said by their fruits you shall know them,its not by their fate. faith the the means to the End but gullible so called Men of God sees it the other way round and this has become the order of the Day.

Any design that exposes your body,especially tight dresses,dresses that exposes your female nature are all from the pit of Hell. No amount of Prayers, Praises and worship, speaking in tongues,fasting, visions,prophecies and ministrations can make you escape the wrath of God except you just simply denounce those demonic cloths and put on clothes that make you ladylike well concealed and decent,what the Bible calls modest apparels.
All this ladies are walking demons and they know it. Its just Temporal comfort, and they tell you they work for it so what is your business,you will tell that at the white throne judgement when the time comes but it will be too late then.

Politics / Re: List Of 10 Countries Buhari Visited In 181 Days In Office by vicnairaland: 7:05am On Nov 27, 2015
, the Naij.com columnist, says criticism exchanges between the government in power and the opposition is a must for every healthy political environment. What lessons the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will learn from Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure?


Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan (left), President Muhammadu Buhari

The Goodluck Jonathan-led government, towards the end of his administration’s tenure, came under heavy criticism by the APC and Muhammadu Buhari. It is important to remark that such criticisms are both factual and not unexpected because of the election season. The APC and their presidential candidate understandably had to employ means to expose the inadequacies of the government in power and then put forward counter-approach (no matter how unachievable) in contrast to the one used by the government.

In essence, the government of the day has no hiding place because its purchasing power depends on what it has done: on results. But the strength of the opposition depends on how deep the government in power is exposed and stigmatized in a bid to ensure it loses credibility before the electorates. Clearly, under that circumstance, no opposition will not underestimate the government of the day and overestimate their own anticipation and plan, particularly in our milieu.

What this implies for the masses is that not all campaign promises will be attempted, much less fulfilled. In that regard, it appears perchance politics is not a gentleman’s venture. But what does this trend portend for leadership? What lessons can be learned juxtaposing criticisms of the Jonathan-led government, events of the 2015 general election and President Buhari’s over 170 days in office?

Leading from an observer’s seat

It is perhaps common knowledge that what one sees depends on where one stands. In actual fact, the reality of the government in power is not the reality of the party that wants to unseat it. In other words, irrespective of governmental corruption and other ills orchestrated by the actions or inactions of the government in power, there is a reality they feel that the party jostling to take over does not know about.

This was evident in the events leading up to the 2015 general election, the defeat of the incumbent and the reality of the day.

In 2012, after the then-president, Goodluck Jonathan, removed fuel subsidy, there was wide protest across the nation. People rejected the step completely, and that laid the foundation for the political episode of 2015 in which the incumbent president was defeated. The then-opposition parties, that later metamorphosed into the APC, severely criticized the government for, among other things, insensitivity, callousness and deceit. The government then bowed to the pressure and restored the subsidy partially.

During the electioneering, Buhari and the APC criticized fuel subsidy. Buhari was apparently doubtful of the existence of fuel subsidy, describing it as just a means of siphoning government monies. Towards the end of year 2014, following the downward journey of the price of oil in international market, the APC queried why the PDP-led government should not reduce pump price. Then, in 2015, before the presidential election, the PDP-led government of President Jonathan reduced pump price to N87. Buhari, the APC presidential candidate, criticized it in strongest terms, describing it as an attempt by the government to buy votes through dishonest goodwill, and then called on the masses to avoid selling their future for any enticement.

President Jonathan’s war on Boko Haram was another area he received knocks in from Buhari. At a point, Buhari described military offensives against the dreaded terror group as anti-north. He wondered why President Jonathan would be killing northerners in the name of fighting terrorism. Very embarrassing to Buhari was the fact that Jonathan could go to seek for assistance from neighboring countries in the fight against Boko Haram.

Notably, Buhari severely criticized Jonathan’s government for corruption and on different occasions described corruption in Jonathan’s government as monumental. Now note that all these criticisms came from the APC and Buhari at a time they were governing from outside.

Leading from inside

Months into leading the country, you can tell that the APC and President Buhari are not finding it as easy as they thought. They might have undermined the last administration’s efforts while overestimating their own perception of the problems and plans to handle them. Now that APC and Buhari have mounted the leadership of the country, there is a change of reality.

For once, leading from inside, President Buhari has realized that there is actually fuel subsidy and that it has to be maintained as there is “no genuine reason to remove oil subsidy”. This was not his opinion when he was observing. Oil price has dwindled in the international market, but the APC is no longer saying that pump prices should be reduced; perhaps, they have seen reasons on the contrary. Today, fuel price has increased exponentially as it did in 2012 that precipitated the occupy movements, yet, the government is silent.

President Buhari has not only declared a full scale war on Boko Haram by relocating the defense headquarters, he has constantly vowed to defeat Boko Haram in no distant time. Suddenly, the actuality has changed and fighting Boko Haram is no longer anti-north. The president has equally gone to form an alliance with neighboring countries in the war against Boko Haram; before now, it was a very embarrassing thing for Nigeria to do. Possibly, President Buhari has seen a likelihood of his government fighting Boko Haram for years, so he has warned forehand that he will not resign if Boko Haram is not defeated.

President Buhari has also realized that powerful Nigerians are capable of withstanding a government’s war on corruption. So it is no longer the fault of the government of the day if it is immersed in corruption, but that of the system.

The government and the president are under some kind of pressure, primarily because of their own overestimation of possibilities. Leading Nigeria from outside is not the same as from inside. Much of the achievements and failures of the APC and President Buhari will be determined by their own estimation of events in Jonathan’s government.

My friend Yes there is Sinful Haircut if you call it so. You know like the word says ' You wear a Haircut ' so you see its something you wear just like someone wearing a cloth that is out of phase with a real christian disposition. You cut the hair in a way that its designed to suit your desire and check were that desire comes from, definitely it's an influence. Trust me a negative influence. Also check out the personality that wears those haircuts most of them are not real christians. Just celebrities, religious people that go to church to hide from their meanness.
