Religion / Re: How Jesus Reacted To The Worship Of Mary by wadoowadoo(m): 3:11pm On Jul 05, 2015
Catholics don't worship Mary. We only celebrate her. She's the Mother of God and Spouse of the Holy Spirit. I don't know why some people are so jealous of her that you can't do anything without mentioning her. What is your business if we Catholics decided to honour and pay so much reverence to her. You say you love God, but you dislike His mother. How is that going to help you? I've discovered that most of you that dare open your filthy mouths against this woman so full of grace do so out of ignorance of real Catholic teachings and practices and sometimes pure jealousy or hatred. But is that really necessary? You should ask yourselves, because we Catholics don't give a bloody damn. If God had wanted your mother to be His Mother, he would have made her so. So this whole argument is senseless; you're not a Catholic so why bother? Is it paining you? I'm proud to be a Catholic, me and my family. So I shall continue to say, "Hail Mary, Mother Of God pray for us sinners". If you don't like it you can come and jump on my back. Ave Maria!

The same people who paid for his hatchet job also decided it's time to silence him. This is called "tying up all the loose ends". I expect more such "accidents" and "suicides" to follow in the coming days before inauguration on May 29th.

Business / Re: Recharge Card Printing Business; How Viable Is It? by wadoowadoo(m): 4:10pm On Feb 19, 2015
Abimloaded:
Recharge Card used to be Cheap during Yar' Adua's tenure. Since the emergence of this Otuoke man (Outgoing president) Recharge card prices has increased.

THE ELECTIONS OF MARCH 2015 IS THE
MOTHER OF ALL POLITICAL BATTLES: March 28
election is not an election between GEJ and GMB,
but is an election between GEJ vs all the millions
of unemployed graduates and youths, is an
election between GEJ vs all those innocent
graduates that were murdered during the last
immigration exam, is an election between GEJ and
all the relatives of the kidnap chibok girls, is an
election between GEJ and all the victims of
Iyanya, Kano and other bomb blast, is an election
between GEJ vs all the failed small business that
has been short down due to shortage of power
supply, is an election between GEJ and all those
who lost their love ones during health workers
strike, is also an election between GEJ and all
those university undergraduates who has spent
more than their stipulated years in school due to
strikes and hike in fees. Finally is an election
between GEJ and the general masses who are
suffering from the clueless decisions of this
government. As for me am supporting and voting
for BUHARI because I can't support a president
who fraudulently extort money from young
graduates all in the name of giving them jobs only
to end up killing lots of them. And this is a
government that has not in any way imparted
positively on the lives of our youths, rather they
steal in billions of dollars from the common public
treasury. Vote out corruption, insecurity and
unemployment on the 28th March 2015. Change
Are you well at all?

Nairaland / General / Marriage Made In Africa: Are All These Necessary? by wadoowadoo(m): 10:18pm On Dec 06, 2014
I love the beauty of our African culture, especially where it comes to marriage, family relationships and communal affairs. These are what set us apart from other parts of the world especially Europe and America where true communal and family living are almost non-existent. However I came across the following list for a marriage ceremony recently which set me thinking about the propriety or otherwise of some of these time-old cultures. I mean, are some things not actually overdone or long overdue for reform, overhaul or outright replacement? I know for a fact there are some communities in Nigeria today especially in Igboland where a lot of marriageable women abound but the men cannot stretch forth their hands because of some retrogressive customs attached to marriage in those parts. I have discussed with some of the affected peoples and I found to my dismay that even the ladies are not perturbed about these customs, with most insisting that it must be done to them according to/as it was done to their mates. My questions now are: Aside the financial aspects which may be insignificant to many of us as far as a serious suitor is concerned, but are all these really necessary? Must one buy packets of cigarette (which according to the Federal Ministry of Health is very dangerous to health), snuff, kaikai, cloths for mother and siblings, walking stick for father etc just because he wants to marry one of your daughters? How does this help the girl’s family or, even more importantly, the development of the marriage institution in such a society? Contributions are welcome because I really want to understand this phenomenon. Below is a sample of a specimen marriage list for a community in Delta State which’s name I would not mention.
Where in the world is marriage list as long as this? Gentlemen please share your experiences….

When Ali Modu Sherrif(alleged Boko Haram sponsor) decamped from APC to PDP, he was giving extra security and allowed to and fro @ Maiduguri airport, Aminu Tambuwal decamped from PDP to APC his security details were withdrawn and his name removed from NASS website


Politics in Nigeria, make you just sit down dey look
Two wrongs does not and cannot make a right. That some people steal doesn't mean that any criminal caught should be allowed to go scot free because he is not the only one. You that is crying more than the berieved, why don't you advise your hero (Tambuwal) or whatever his name is to do the honourable thing by resigning from the speakership having left the vehicle that brought him to that position in the first place. How can you be in the minority (APC) and expect to lord it over the majority (PDP). No political party worthy of its name should be expected to accept such gratuitous insult. Abeg make we hear word bo! All your criticisms smack of prejudice and double standard to me. We all know how OBJ would have dealt with this kind of disloyalty during his heydays. Arrant nonsense!
Politics / Re: Breaking! Economic Activities Crippled In Anambra As Fuel Price Rise To ¥250 by wadoowadoo(m): 4:34pm On Oct 24, 2014

Economic activities comes to devastating standstill in Anambra state today as Fuel price tripled to ¥250 naira per litre( black market) from ¥97 naira. All fuel stations remains under key in protest over imposition of high Tax rate by the Governor Mr Obiano.
It is not true. The filling stations went on solidarity strike after the State Government closed down some filling stations who were shortcoming customers by doctoring their meters. In fact, the strike was more or less induced by fear of impending similar clampdown on all the thieving filling station operators in the state courtesy of the new government no-nonsense policy. I'm just coming from Onitsha now and there is a rumour that some stations have resumed selling to the public.

Politics / Re: Allocation Of New Polling Units: Senate Advices INEC To Postpone Till After 2015 by wadoowadoo(m): 7:53am On Sep 29, 2014
FastShipping: In a country of the blinds, a person with one eye is the king. I may disagree with Prof. Jega policy of allocating more polling units to the North but in a sane world, Andy Uba would have been sent to prison for stealing of public funds, money laundering, displaying of college degree of non-existing schools and subversion of democratic election when he stole mandate that belong to Peter Obi. And this same Andy Uba is the Chairman of Senate Committee that oversees INEC?? SMH!!

Nigeria is on last throw...

Ignorance is a disease and you are really an epidemic case. Besides what has Andy Uba as a person has to do with the performance a senate oversight funtion in a democratic setting? Or Do you think Andy wrote that letter on its own? Moronin ebola case!
