This is my problem with modern Christians who think Jesus was all lovey-dovey.

If you study the Bible you will find Jesus reprimanding people, cities, and nations, even calling woes on them for rejecting the obvious truth.
Matthew 23:13, Matthew 11:21

I probably would have expressed my concerns or prayers in a different way than this pastor did, but it has to be said that :

BBnaija is an immoral show

No christian or church goer should be proud to endorse it.

It's time we stopped pretending about these issues and using Jesus' name to justify our failings.

My brother, if Jesus and Paul were alive today they will be called Pharisees.

PS: My point is not to defend the Pastor. I think greater emphasis should have been placed in warning his members. The world will do what the world has to do i.e. immorality. However, the impression among modern Christians that Jesus would not openly rebuke or condemn evil is totally wrong.

Please Mods help me take this to front page

Ndubuisi Igwala is a student in the Department of Biology Education, University of Benin. Before now, he was a student at the Faculty of Agriculture of same University but could not continue due to complications from his health.
He suffers from Sickle Cell Anemia a blood-related genetic disease that is suffered by people from tropical regions of the world especially Africans. The disease is characterized by bouts of very painful debilitating crisis, swellings of the hands and feet, possibly stroke and ultimately death at a young age (usually in the 20s).
The attached graphic pictures (I apologize for the goriness) are of Mr. Igwala's hands. As it stands now, he has been diagnosed with Acute skin ulcerations (skin ulcer for short), a complication from Sickle Cell Anemia. He is currently receiving medical attention at the Haematology Department of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. He urgently requires a skin-grafting surgery which is estimated at about 280,000 Naira (about 550 USD). Additionally, as someone from an indigent background, he requires additional funds for daily dressing and management of the situation. A daily cleansing and dressing is required which costs about a 1000 Naira.

I Knew Mr. Igwala as an acquaintance in Nigeria, and I feel indebted to draw attention to his case as well as those of Sickle Cell Anemia sufferers having lost very dear relatives to this disease.

If you are moved and will want to help this young man, please feel free to contact him on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ndubuisi.igwala or +2348075759941.

His bank account details are as follows:

PS: I will upload pictures of his test results and other supporting documents as soon as I get it.

Case Closed??

The seven stages of reality-based political evolution of the APC fanatic:

1. Buhari is the messiah we need
2. Buhari may be slow, but he knows what he is doing
3. The problems of 16 years of PDP cannot be upturned overnight
4. Buhari may not be the best, but we had no choice
5. If not for Jonathan's cluelessness, who would have voted Buhari
6. Mistakes that Jonathan made that Buhari is making
7. All politicians are the same....whether APC or PDP

Africa's problem is not leadership, it is the ignorance of those who take it as a patriotic responsibility to defend cluelessness.

HEHEHE

First to comment...really?
Oh boy...people for this nairaland nor get joy ooooo....
resident commentators I hail una

This post has been going around on facebook by a Bayelsa-based NGO KHAN initiative. If their assertions are right it means we are in real trouble as a nation. Awareness should be raised on this issue, and justice meted out if necessary.

I will appreciate if the mods can move this to front page. Thanks

. On 12 August, 2015, 13 years old Ms Ese Rita Oruru did not return home
2. Efforts made by the parents to locate Ese led to one Mohammed (aka Daidi) who informed the mother that one Mr. Yinusa (alias Yellow) had taken the said Miss Ese Rita Oruru to Kano with an intention to convert her into Islam, recruit her into an Islamic fanatical Group and marry her.
3. Acting on the above information, Mrs. Rose Oruru approached one Dan Kano, who not only confirmed the story but also promised to take her to Kano to recover her daughter.

4. Notwithstanding the above promise made, the said Dan Kano rescinded on his promise and rather sent one Rabiu to accompany Mrs. Rose Oruru to Kano.

5. On the 14th of August, 2015 the journey to Kano was embarked on, arriving after midnight. The said Rabiu took Mrs. Rose Oruru to the chief of a village called Tufa in Kura Local Government Area of Kano State on the 15th of August, 2015.

6. After relaying the purpose of their visit, the said chief was furious with Rabiu for bringing Mrs. Rose Oruru to Kano and told them that the said Miss Ese Rita Oruru has been converted to Islam and renamed “Aisha”, married and that the child was no longer her child. He also informed them that Miss Ese Rita Oruru was in the custody of the Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi at the Palace.

7. Moving forward, Mrs. Rose Oruru in the company of Rabiu approached the Emir of Kano’s Palace but met a stiff opposition by several youth, they were pushed out of the Palace.

8. The said Yinusa, through phone calls, informed Mrs. Rose Oruru that he did not kidnapped her daughter as he took permission from Dan Kano before he abducted her.

9. Sensing the impossibility of seeing her daughter or having an audience with the Emir of Kano, Mrs. Rose Oruru broke into tears and drew a lot of attention, on hearing her cries an elderly man called the Police.

10. When the Police arrived they picked Mrs. Rose Oruru to Kwani Police station where her statement was taken and Police officers accompanied her first to the Emir’s Palace but they were prevented from entering the Palace. The Police then proceeded to the house of the Galadima of Kano, who stated that he does not know anything about the matter. The team proceeded to see the Adviser to the Emir, who told them that he does not want to be involved in the matter and then to the Secretary to the Emir of Kano. The Secretary informed them that:

a. The Chief of Tufa Village got an approval from Kura Police station to take the said Miss Ese Rita Oruru to the Emir’s Palace.

b. That the said Miss Ese Rita Oruru is now a convert of Islam and if brought to her mother, Mrs. Rose Oruru would not be able to talk or touch her, otherwise either she (the mother) or Ese would die. He advised that they wait till Monday the 17th of August 2015 to see the Emir.

11. On the 17th of August 2015, the DCO, a Police Inspector from Kwani Police Station, the Chief of Tufa village and Mrs Rose Oruru were at the Palace where the Emir of Kano sat in council. The said Miss Ese Rita Oruru was also seen brought in a Black Jeep with two Police Escort, Yinusa was also present. When the case was mentioned, every other person was allowed inside except Mrs. Rose Oruru, returning from the Emir’s court the DCO informed Mrs. Rose that the Emir of Kano told them to go to the Sharia Court, which they objected to.

12. The Police at Kwani transferred the matter to State CID in Kano State, where she was asked to go back to Bayelsa and report the matter to the Bayelsa State Police Command.

13. Mrs Rose Oruru returned to Bayelsa on the 17th of August 2015 and a report was made at the Ekeki Police Station and the matter was later transferred to State CID Yenagoa.

14. The Police at Yenagoa made some arrest including Dan Kano, and a trip was embarked upon to Kano on the 2nd of September, 2015 with the following persons: Dan Kano, K.C. Dahiru (the chairman of the Hausa community in Yenagoa), Mr. Charles Oruru and Two Police Officer from State CID.

15. The team reported at the Kwani Police Station in Kano where another visit was made to the Emir of Kano, the Emir informed them that he had since on the 26th of August 2015 sent a letter for the release of the said Miss Ese Rita Oruru to her parent. Another letter was also written but was not responded to.

16. Notwithstanding the above efforts made the said Miss Ese Rita Oruru has since not been released to her parent but is still held hostage at Kano State.

Get this to front page moderators...please

oye9ja:
He miss used the Latin word consensus ad idem...it literally means coming together of heads which also means agreement. A single person can't say he consensus ad idem..but two or more parties only can.

While I'm no fan of Obahiagbon, his use of consensus ad idem is in order here even by your argument. He is saying he agrees with obasanjo...those are two parties already represented

bennyrazz:
@AnnaOyibo

Even if mr.A is born again, he still has to marry. The issue mr.A has is cohabitation, premarital sex especially when he is now born again. He has done that with you and peradventure if he is to marry you today, you both have to face the marriage committee of the church and they will ask both of you some few questions like have you had sex before, are you cohabiting etc the point is, it is not that he does not love you but he is in a dilemma. He asked for friendship because he wants a clean slate. Give him a break. What you can do now is to find out the branch of RCCG he goes to, try and attend there. Give your life to Christ and start by being a worker in the church. But of cause, the issue with your work and relocating back to Britain

This is a very sound advice..He might just be going through a spiritual transformation and has a sense of guilt about his past experiences with you
Try to talk things with him...and it won't be a bad idea if you seek God too in a deeper sense

I agree with you @ Op. As an Edo myself, I feel really hurt the way we are demonized on this forum. I know we have our issues as a people, but if the law in the forum censors tribalism then it should be applied across board. An ethnic group or state cannot be treated this way while other groups are protected. Please SEUN take note, and do the needful. There is no perfect ethnic group, these insults and negative profiling should stop.

Eddy from Benin..

I pity the generation of graduates we are producing..

A lot of those Students in the North are into this
I seized one when serving there

If you use ‘2’ for ‘too’, ‘aii’ for ‘alright’, your for you're , k for ok, or you post ‘HBD,LLNP,GGMUB’ or any of its variants on people’s wall as a birthday wish...If you greet people with "Good AM" or "Good PM", or you pluralize "lol"..My friend, your laziness is the reason Nigeria’s economy isn’t growing

M0GIDI:
Who say Esan girls no fine?
Am proud of my people.

Sandra is a Benin girl...we were classmates

Where is SLAVE TRADE?

I don't know why I suspect the new security guy

LouisVanGaal:
Oga, NUC requirement states that for a graduate to lecture, he/she must possess at least a Masters degree...A graduate asst lecturing is blocking class for the main lecturer...I.e helping hand and its not OFFICIAL

A lecturer is a Job title for Academic staff in Nigerian universities not necessarily a rank. A graduate assistant is a lecturer whose academic duties are limited to research, community service and tutorials, so this does not violate NUC requirement
Same way in America, the University teaching staff are called Professors as a job designation, but the same title is also exclusive to the highest ranking university teaching staff

Your attempt at critical reasoning reveals just one thing- Hatred
Even at the University level, you can be a Lecturer (Graduate Assistant or Assistant Lecturer) in one university while pursuing your MSc or PhD in another let alone a College of Education...

wirinet:
It is encouraging that you took up the challenge to show us any of GEJ's thesis or publication, the problem is that the said paper is neither a thesis or a publication. It was appropriately labeled Conference or workshop item. It was a joint paper presented at a workshop. It would be very difficult to determine jonathan's contributions.

Meanwhile please help clarify these discrepancies in Jonathan's academic records;



He obtained his M.sc at the University of Port Harcourt in 1985 and he was a Lecturer at the Dept. Of Biology, Rivers State College of Education, Port Harcourt from 1983 – 1993. How did that work? he was lecturing at one university while studying to obtain an M.sc in another university.
