Knowledge brings forth the truth and when you now the truth

The Bible said it shall set you free.

The obvious truth may be discomforting but take it.

Nigerians have been scammed

LIES

am worried not about the post pandemic global economic issues on Nigeria but the scale and implication of the corruption and irreversible mistakes our government must have made in response to the corona virus.

The weeks of avoidable suffering from years of neglect of the health system and a fireman approach when the usual antic of overseas treatment was annulled by the recent events.
And even in the face of the crisis, there still are hearts of Pharaohs and persons with the hands of Esau speaking like Jacob exploiting the unfortunate event and feeding on it.

Don't be overly surprised that a real threat posed by the disease is morphed into a Nigerian version of economic depression and collapse dissimilar to known and predictable cases yet blamed on the pandemic.

true to the saying : Nigerians would always be a victim of varied scams; for every penny they earn, there are thousands they deserve been denied them

but wait o.... the guy still dey vex o

see him mouth !

abeg allow him share bill till December

But this is quoting out of context naaa

the whole script is on BBC and it's a briefing that fields questions from the President and expert opinion answers

it was not a suggestion in the context of that brief. it is a question

abeggnow:
generals will tell thier men anything to boost moral. U are a right some civilian may not run but pure firepower from the army crush them. I hope you are aware that constant shelling for weeks none stop can make a man run mad.

yes naaa I already said that

IMAliyu:
Have you heard of guerilla warfare.

he's 100% right oooo unless a section of the millitary dessert into ur side

abeggnow:
i am so correct. Every single time . People think unit tactics is about shooting no it not . Its about cohesion and dicsiple under fire. This is something civilians wont know . When under fire the natural human thing to do is to run. But running guarantees defeat or death. Armed civilians faving a trained army will loose every single time. Also the major killer on a battle field is not rifle but artillery. Where would civilians get that ?? Even if u manage to get one who would train u and supply u shells ??

u are a real guy.... but let me tell u d brain behind the man and the rifle

every general is told that a single rifle man can take down any goof ball invention of war....

not all civies run during fire fight. organised militias in d states av history of standing their ground but usually outgunned and ended up in bloodbath for them though

daddytime:
Trump people wan start civil war abi him wan sponsor him own version of Boko Haram against the November Presidential election?

Na this kind protest that stupid Umahi deserve for Ebonyi.

Power drunk yeye man.

cool down my guy... these are the real men of the United State of America

this is real hunting ..... is it daytime or nighttime hunting

seborrhic:
She was discovered in the morning,so she definitely must have died some hours before.
As unfortunate as the death sounds,there is the possibility that the maid in her mind wanted to put the woman in trouble for likely maltreatment while she was alive and knew her death in her house would serve that purpose.
I believe it was a suicide done in adolescent vengeful spite.
But the family too will suffer the consequences of hiring a maid they seemed ill equipped to handle properly

hanging urself with that kind of rope would take years of practise and the length shows a talker person assisted her or did d job.

normally once the foothold is removed and she's falling from that height her neck would break but what I see here is a landing not hanging

the angle of d neck shows she's dead before hanging

how do I know:head of suicide hanging victims points downward from struggling with suffocation and trying to locate it balance their feet.

this is a 2man job, one carry d dead girl up the other tie the noose.

police should look for the other man .

lastly please just hang this couple. this is first degree murder.

From my experience, over 90% of our dreams are of NO importance both spiritually and physically.
If God speaks to you through dream, trust me you can NEVER forget. Most times you would even wake up immediately and start pondering on the dream. I am a highly spiritual person and worship in the most spiritual church i know (Celestial Church of Christ). I used to think i was suffering from same problem despite living right, until i started to realize that some dreams CANNOT be forgotten and such dreams are not the everyday dream. The important ones comes once in a while and even the important ones are of two categories;
Category 1 - very important (Can NEVER be forgotten and in most cases, you wake immediately) such as seeing the death of a loved one or having someone pull a trigger at you in the dream.
Category 2 - this category is important but of lesser degree. Even when you forget this, something around you normally triggers your memory in day.

Would God speak when he knows you won't remember a thing? IMPOSSIBLE!
Most dreams are just overrated!
NOT ALL sex in the dream means something spiritually, most are the product of masturbation, pornography, konji and lust.
NOT ALL swimming in the dreams means you have marine spirit, some are actually positive,like swimming to a shore might mean actually coming out of troubled waters(a persisting situation in your life).
What is MOST IMPORTANT is living a righteous life and you automatically eliminate all worries.
My humble opinion.
Stay Blessed! Stay Safe!

yes I agree with u 100% one of my greatest gift is dream and I intentionally use it

if I need infirmation about a person I ask God to reveal or if I step into an unknown situation within days I will see every information

but there are figments of imagination that permeates itself during sleep . psychologist understands better.

a spirit filled man also may not av d gift if dreams but others

so whenever I listen to some dreams I do know which is real and imaginations from day to day activities

EDhims:
Seriously I had a dream lately and I have been pondering on it for some days now.
I dreamt of seeing myself in the church where I started as a little boy. I and my wife and when it was time to give offering I stood up with my wife and deeper my hand into my pocket to give my wife money (the amount wasn't a contention here). Then I also took out another for myself which I held in my right hand then had the rest of the money in my hand. At a point something said I should keep the money in my left hand in my pocket while another thought said I should also hold something there to drop for another offering. I took out the 100 naira (about 2 notes) inside the money in left hand but as I was approaching the alter I suddenly returned the money into my pocket leaving only the money in my right hand. While at the alter just after the person in front of me dropped his offering I didn't see the offering to drop mine and I suddenly became unconscious, a force wept me to the front of the tebanacle then I started praying (can't really remember what I prayed for). While I stood up I was still unconscious then this time I approached the offering box again to drop my offering, I heard a voice from the priest officiating saying I should drop the money I kept back into my pocket.
Please what does it tell?
N.B: prior to sleeping that night I was reflecting on some disappointing circumstances I encountered

from my personal experience, if you grow up in a church pls move on and don't try attending same church.

the reasons are some of your parents friends would want to test your spiritual standing

church don't always have saints

it's takes a normal biological process of memory decay
but

with serious spiritual implications if one is under spiritual attacks

policemen hate themselves

or probably they forgot their training

u can't capture Marines or Marines leaving a colleague behind on such minute mission

MrBrownJay1:
people most likely to die if/when they catch covid-19:
- overweight people
- people with hypertension
- people with lung/heart disease
- people 70yrs old and over

when this information was passed to Nigerians in the wake of the pandemic, their leaders dismiss it cos they are eager to start cash disbursement and looting

the gullible Nigerians quickly rush in and today

healthy people and economy are counting their losses.

idiosyncratic news isn't for public assessment

let Washington handle their problem, its not significant

Angelfrost:
All of you who have been arguing, insulting, and calling me names every time I call out this sham of a lockdown, come and read this!!!

God bless Prof. Soludo.... It is always refreshing to read things from fellow objective and intelligent like minds!!!

Some of you here are so myopic and self centered, failing to face the harsh realities of the day!!!

lots of ppl are against lockdown .... but where ideas lack, the fools thrives

babyfaceafrica:
The problem is not intelligent people... The problem is Nigeria style of politics.. Look by the time soludo gets to power.. His intelligence will be corrupted.. Is okonjo not intelligent, is nnaji not intelligent, is fowler not intelligent, Fashola,.. E. T. C.... Take these same people abroad and see them doing well.. Nigeria kills talent!!!

and one stupido was ranting about one female pilots yesterday

Read with sense please (culled from BBC)

from the President White House briefing on Covid-19

What did President Trump say?
During Thursday's White House coronavirus task force briefing, an official presented the results of US government research that indicated coronavirus appeared to weaken more quickly when exposed to sunlight and heat.

The study also showed bleach could kill the virus in saliva or respiratory fluids within five minutes and isopropyl alcohol could kill it even more quickly.

William Bryan, acting head of the US Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, outlined the findings at the news conference.

Opinion: this may account to the low infection rate in Africa but your leaders are bent on propagating fear rather than information.

Compared to the Nigerian briefing on same issue: the only agenda is : How to share the money

this piece is incomplete, I read the full news on BBC yesterday and it include first trials in Kenya

even NL played politics with posts.

The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford.

Two volunteers were injected, the first of more than 800 people recruited for the study.

Half will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half a control vaccine which protects against meningitis but not coronavirus.

The design of the trial means volunteers will not know which vaccine they are getting, though doctors will.

Elisa Granato, one of the two who received the jab, told the BBC: "I'm a scientist, so I wanted to try to support the scientific process wherever I can."

The vaccine was developed in under three months by a team at Oxford University. Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, led the pre-clinical research.

"Personally I have a high degree of confidence in this vaccine," she said.

"Of course, we have to test it and get data from humans. We have to demonstrate it actually works and stops people getting infected with coronavirus before using the vaccine in the wider population."

Prof Gilbert previously said she was "80% confident" the vaccine would work, but now prefers not to put a figure on it, saying simply she is "very optimistic" about its chances.

So how does the vaccine work?
The vaccine is made from a weakened version of a common cold virus (known as an adenovirus) from chimpanzees that has been modified so it cannot grow in humans.

The Oxford team has already developed a vaccine against Mers, another type of coronavirus, using the same approach - and that had promising results in clinical trials.

How will they know if it works?
The only way the team will know if the Covid-19 vaccine works is by comparing the number of people who get infected with coronavirus in the months ahead from the two arms of the trial.

That could be a problem if cases fall rapidly in the UK, because there may not be enough data.

Prof Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who is leading the trial, said: "We're chasing the end of this current epidemic wave. If we don't catch that, we won't be able to tell whether the vaccine works in the next few months. But we do expect that there will be more cases in the future because this virus hasn't gone away."

The vaccine researchers are prioritising the recruitment of local healthcare workers into the trial as they are more likely than others to be exposed to the virus.

A larger trial, of about 5,000 volunteers, will start in the coming months and will have no age limit.
Older people tend to have weaker immune responses to vaccines. Researchers are evaluating whether they might need two doses of the jab.

The Oxford team is also considering a vaccine trial in Africa, possibly in Kenya, where the rates of transmission are growing from a lower base.

If the numbers could be a problem, why not deliberately infect volunteers with coronavirus?

That would be a quick and certain way to find out if the vaccine was effective, but it would be ethically questionable because there are no proven treatments for Covid-19.

But that might be possible in the future. Prof Pollard said: "If we reach the point where we had some treatments for the disease and we could guarantee the safety of volunteers, that would be a very good way of testing a vaccine."

Is it safe?
The trial volunteers will be carefully monitored in the coming months. They have been told that some may get a sore arm, headaches or fevers in the first couple of days after vaccination.

They are also told there is a theoretical risk that the virus could induce a serious reaction to coronavirus, which arose in some early Sars animal vaccine studies.

But the Oxford team says its data suggests the risk of the vaccine producing an enhanced disease is minimal.

Scientists there hope to have one million doses ready by September, and to dramatically scale up manufacturing after that, should the vaccine prove effective.

So who would get it first?
Prof Gilbert says that has not been decided yet: "It's not really our role to dictate what will happen, we just have to try to get a vaccine that works and have enough of it and then it will be for others to decide."

Prof Pollard added: "We've got to ensure we have enough doses to provide for those in greatest need, not just in the UK but also in developing countries."

Another team at Imperial College London hopes to begin human trials of its coronavirus vaccine in June.

The Oxford and Imperial teams have received more than £40m of government funding.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has praised both teams and said the UK will "throw everything we've got" at developing a vaccine.

UK chief medical adviser Prof Chris Whitty has said neither a vaccine, nor a drug to treat Covid-19, is likely to be available within the next year.

This is not about you lazy cowards, this is about the brave Nigerian ladies risking their lives and fighting to protect you and your families.

werey wa ni iran yin sir... because ur obsession makes no sense...

NigerianSage:
[s][/s]

I try not to waste my time on negative people who just complain and find faults, but never willing to serve, never willing to contribute, never willing to do what this brave 22-year-old brave Nigerian is doing by outing her lie on the line to protect unpatriotic and ungrateful people who just sit and complain on the internet.



While cowards sit on the internet to complain, dwell on negativity and finding faults, this young woman said she's not like you and fold her arms and watch what is happening in our country and not lift a finger.

She's only 22 years old, what's your own excuse?

madman state what u av achieved in the last decade of ur life apart from parading female pilots upandan like a psycho..

you don't even understand your own post, everyone should just ignore u... cos I strongly sense you have a mental problem

NigerianSage:
I'm a Nigerian and I know Nigeria.

The fact that you are angry with Nigerian doesn't mean the rest of us including the brave young Nigerian fighter pilots must be angry with Nigeria.

Apply yourself and quit crying on the internet. Ask what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you.

These young ladies did not sit on their ass crying and staying mad and angry at Nigeria, they applied themselves and worked hard to achieve their dream.

Too many lazy Nigerians sit on the internet crying and moaning with a poor sense of entitlement that everything must be given to them by the FG instead of getting off their lazy asses to do the work.

Please, this topic is not about your anger and anti-Nigerian headache, it's about Kafayat Sanni, a brave young lady and the first Nigerian female fighter pilot so go and start your own topic to let the world know how much you are mad and upset about your life.

you are definitely sick and you need to be assisted

this is pure schizophrenia

NigerianSage:
Be like the smart, brave and patriotic young lazy instead of lamenting and boring us with your frustration, laziness and pettiness.

Say thanks to the young ladies, pray for them and show gratitude and appreciation for risking their lives to protect cowards, ungrateful and jealousy people like you.

you are deluded and obviously on meds...... pls keep your advise coming, u might end up diagnosing your own problem

please refer your advise to the lazy bastards and retarded people in your family.

while you are at it, try take a cursory look at your drug induced life, wouldn't it be better you off urself via the needle and stop bothering urself on ppl more successful than you.

till then i envisage your lack of job and meaningful thing todo with ur life will keep you busy on my thread.

dumb, lowlife miserable pauper

NigerianSage:
The fact that you feel useless doesn't mean Nigeria made you useless because same Nigeria made sure the young ladies achieved their dreams with opportunities, local and international training and support.

Apply yourself like the young ladies and stop crying on the internet.

the fact that you feel you are useless and hence thinks am in your category dosent mean you still can't achieve in life.

rather than giving advise you can't afford ... kindly take a hike to the mountains and isolate yourself for 7days so God will change your internet miserable life to reality

it is well with you dumbass

there are no rules to marrying or marriage....

we just dey try.

marriage is the worst institution after government

BEEFIE:
