Envy and greed don enter this thing.

You said he took your wife, now we are hearing that your marriage has been dissolved since .

How come you want to Cashout N2bn from Suleiman ?
Another idolator. Who told you the marriage has been desolved since ? Was it the husband or the wife?

This is what pastor suleiman's lawyer said in his court filings;
It has come to our knowledge that one Mike David has purportedly filed a law suit against our client, Apostle Johnson Suleman and seeking two billion naira as damages for allege interference in his marriage which has since been dissolved a few years ago .

You see why Africa is still where it is today. A fellow pastor is crying (whether it's fake or not) and it didn't touch the hearts of so called congregants at least to tell their pastor to clear the air. Rather they cheered on until it got to this point.

I keep saying it. Assuming christianity for instance is the authentic religion, the blacks don't even understand or practice up to 10% of it's contents correctly.

The other day.. I told a friend I can't visit a lonely married woman in her home. And this religious dude laughed at me and said.. I'm not born in spirit that we should get to a level we live above the law.
I wanted to argue, but didn't have the energy .. so I dropped a line for him;

"see you see adultery"....


#Oh my Africa
Blacks don't practice Christianity, they practice anthropolatry - the worship of man. No matter what their "god" is accused of, they immediately jump to defend him, without even looking at the allegations. Here is a pastor that has been accused of rape/sexual molestation in not one situation, not two situations but three different situations, but idolators will quickly jump to defend him with their lives every time.

Even the their god's testimony does not make sense. The aggrieved pastor had been blackmailing pastor suleiman for over 6 years, but was sacked just over 2 years ago. The idolators can't even dare to ask what the blackmail about. Was it the blackmail that led to his sacking. Why sack the husband and promote the wife? I thought the church was meant to promote marriage. Was the church aware of the marriage problems of two of its pastors? If they were, what counselling did the church give them? Or Omega ministries don't do marriage counselling for its members.

Anyway, a man down already fears no fall. Pastor David would fight to his last breadth for his children. No government or pastor can separate a man from his children.

The Nigerian constitution itself states that government must not adopt any religion as state religion. Even the penal codes exempts non- Muslims from being subjected to sharia penal codes.


But well, in Nigeria, anything goes- the laws are made by the rich for the poor alone to obey.
It because of the arrogance of the Fulanis, they feel they own the whole country and can go to other people's lands and behave anyhow they like in the name of one Nigeria, but control and restrict others that come to their lands.

Sharia law was supposed to be on the same level as customary law. It should only apply to people that subscribe to that custom or Religion. It should only cover civil matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, etc. But it is veering into criminal matters.

The annoying aspect is that they are only obsessed with sales and consumption of alcohol, probably because most people that sell alcohol are southerners. They are not interested in the selling of drugs such as Marijuana, codeine, tramadol, etc which are mainly sold and consumed by northerners themselves, and is a far bigger problem than alcohol.

Anyway, as a niger-deltan, I will not advice my people to go anywhere near the north outside Abuja.

2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. And mind you there is difference between fermented vine and unfermented juice, so trying attribute and claim what you weren't there is mischievous.
You people talk rubbish in order to propagate your personal doctrine. What do you mean by unfermented juice? Do you even understand what fermentation means? The minute you squeeze juice out of its fruit, it starts fermenting. My wife who has very little alcohol tolerance has gotten tipsy on zobo she made and left in the fridge for 2 days. How did ancient Jews during the time of Jesus and even after unferment grape juice?

All you are doing is justifying imposing your religion on other people who don't share your beliefs in a so called secular country.

The ban on open grazing, Amotekun and ESN came into being, because the FG abdicated it's responsibly of providing security for lives and property. If the police and security forces did their jobs and stopped the killing of farmers and destruction of farmlands, there would be no need for ban on open grazing, Amotekun and ESN.

Now tell the the purpose of imposing an alcohol ban on non Muslims, apart from trying to convert them by force.

The constitution of Nigeria is superior to the constitution of kano state. So unless Kanu elects to leave Nigeria, it must be subservient to the Nigerian constitution.

but if we want to tow ur line and argue base on ur point, then the constitution doesn't also recognize regional security outfits like Amotekun and ESN.. why did the south insist on it!?!
Likewise, if the law creating Amotekun and ESN run contrary to the Nigerian constitution, then it too is null and void.

Besides, the objectives of Amotekun is to stop the senseless killing and kidnapping of farmers and destroying their crops. It was not specifically created for religious purposes.

and I'm not against the ban on open grazing as long as it will bring peace and has no sinister agenda.. the governor's have the right to make law and regulation that will bring peace and development to their state
But the law and regulations must be in concordance with the Nigerian constitution.

I never supported the break up of Nigeria because I spent 2 years in sokoto in the 80s and I was never harrased. I drank beer without fear. We had joints that we drank without being harrased.

But now I don't think we can continue like this. Why will I be harrased for drinking alcohol in Nigeria? A lot of us Niger Deltans are traditional worshippers who use alcohol (dry gin) in our rituals. So the northerners are now telling us that we cannot worship freely in the north, but they can build mosques and shout "Allahu Akbar" on the niger-delta. It just doesn't make sense.

It won't have been the first protest at capitol hill. There have been countless protests scheduled there. This particular one spiraled out of control. But it is disingenuous to claim that the mere act of organising a protest is a call to violence. Whether you agree with the reason or not, protests are a legal right.
You mean to tell me that in the 246 years of US history, there had been protests inside The Capitol building? References please.

You mean Trump inviting his supporters to the capitol on the day the Congress was to certify the results and then telling them " We will never give up; we will never concede, We will stop the steal. We’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol…We’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones…the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country" is not a call to violence?

Did senior republicans tell Trump supporters to break into the capitol? You feel republicans are responsible for Jan 6 because of their rhetoric but you won't extend that logic to democrats. Show me where Trump told people to break into capitol hill.
Watch his speech again and tell me he is not inciting his supporters to violence.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD2UmS4i69Q

How were they supposed to "give the weak ones the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country"? From outside the capitol building?

Trump's did not call for a protest, he called for an insurrection to stop Mike Pence (who told him a day earlier that he had no powers to reject the results) and the Congress from certifying the election results. He also instructed his followers never to give up.

You're missing my point. Why are democrats allowed to support a protest that turns violent, one that, mind you, led to the burning down of a federal courthouse and dozens of deaths. Why do we then clutch our pearls when republicans do the same? The sheer hypocrisy is astounding.
Besides, the violent protests stopped the government from doing its legal duty, keeping citizens safe. But it doesn't help the narrative to care about that, does it?
You Trump cultist supporters make stupid false equivalence. We are talking about a well planned civilian coup and you are talking about a protest over police brutality. You might as well use the @endsars protest in your false equivalence. Most protests have the tendency to turn violent. Even in communist controlled Hong Kong, anti government protests in the streets turned violent.

Once again the BLM protests were not about overturning the election of Trump but about police brutality against blacks.



Is you can't prove guilt, then the accused is innocent. They can't prove that Trump colluded with the Russians the same way Trump can't prove widespread election fraud. However, the media tells us that one is a reasonable concern but the other is an attack on democracy. The real answer is that both sides are dirty liars that would do anything to discredit their opposition.
Another stupid false equivalence. How can someone compare the Mueller investigations which is part and parcel of the democratic process to an attack on the very symbol of American democracy? It seems you are ignorant that the major difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is the legislature.

You are also highly ignorant on the difference between a criminal trial and civil trial. Proving a criminal cases requires much more evidence (beyond reasonable doubt) than a civil case. Mueller simply said he did not have enough evidence to pursue a criminal case. O.J. Simson was acquitted in a criminal trial but guilty in the civil trial.

Marching with them to the capitol hill is an acceptable means of protest. Encouraging people to protest is legal. What was illegal was breaking in. A march is not an insurrection.
March to the Capitol to do what? Stop the Senate from carrying out its constitutional duty? So what happens if the Congress was unable to ratify the electoral college? will Trump continue as President without constitutional backing? This is an election that has pass through all known constitutional process.

Or maybe we can blame the dems for the shooting of Steve Scalise since the perp bought into Dem propaganda that Trump was ruining democracy.
Did the most senior democrats - Nancy Pelosi tell her supporters to shoot Steve Scalise in order to stop Trump from performing his constitutional duty? The Democrats truly feels that Trump is ruining US democracy, but they did not call their supporters to attack Trump physically.

This has to be the most partisan and biased take on a situation I've seen in recent times. Are you saying that BLM rioters didn't burn down buildings or pull down statues? Are you saying they didn't create an autonomous zone during the protest? Even with all the video evidence?
Black lives matter protest were not about stopping Trump or Republicans from performing their legal duty, it was about the decades long police brutality against blacks in America. BLM did not start with trump.

You talk about the Mueller investigation as a win when Mueller clearly started there was no evidence of collusion after 2 years of investigation. This is a fact that you can't deny.
For the umpteenth time, Mueller never said there was no evidence of collusion. What he said was that with the constraints from the justice department and the white house, he could not prove collusion. But Congress could take up obstruction of evidence against trump or he could be charged after leaving office.

My bad for using the term impeachment since it applies differently in America. However, the senate's power to convict a President, probably doesn't apply once he's left office. Not that senate will convict anyway. Like I said, political theatre.
That would be a question for the Supreme Court to decide. There are constitutional lawyers that argue both sides. It's obvious that the Senate as presently constituted and with the present atmosphere will never summon the numbers to convict a Trump. And I doubt that's the goal of the Democrats. Just like the Ukraine impeachment, the Democrats want to expose to the public and call witnesses to expose the extent of Trump's involvement in the insurgency. Most Americans (except Republicans) are appalled by the desecration of the actual symbol of democracy, which the inner chambers of the Capitol stands for.


To answer your question, if Trump shot and killed someone in broad daylight. Do you think removal from office and a ban from holding office is sufficient punishment? Because that's all the conviction will actually do.
It might not be sufficient punishment, but it is a punishment all the same. You refused to provide an answer to the man question - How do you deal with a president who commits a crime in his last days or weeks in office? What happens if a president commits a serious crime and then resigns, should his indictments and trial be discontinued because he is no longer in office? What is the remedy for a US president that is found to have committed a crime while in office, that is after he has left office?

Thanks for contributing to our conversation but you haven't added anything new. I already said that impeachment is based on the whims of congress. I don't really know who you're arguing with.

However, what is still up for debate is whether you can impeach someone who has already left office. I argued that it could lead to something like Obama getting impeached whenever republicans take hold of congress which doesn't make any sense.

You'd have seen all this if you'd read my arguments.
How do you deal with a president who commits a crime in his last days or weeks in office? What should happen if Trump actually shot someone on 5th avenue in broad daylight light few weeks to the end of his tenure? Are you suggesting that during the lame duck period, a president can steal, kill and commit any crime with no repercussions whatsoever? What happens if a president commits a serious crime and then resigns, should his indictments and trial be discontinued because he is no longer in office? What is the remedy for a US president that is found to have committed a crime while in office, that is after he has left office?

Besides this case is different, Trump was indicted (impeached) while he was in office, what is remaining is a trial to determine if he is guilty as charged or innocent.

In this 2021 if a woman of age doesn't know what to do in order to prevent a pregnancy, she really shouldn't be having xes, finally if all else fails and the baby is here dont put it in a plastic bag and sell it for £2! Are there hospitals or adoption agencies or orphanages in Naija?
You talk like you have never been to niaja. Nigeria has an illiteracy rate of over 60% and worse for women. Even the so called literate are barely informed. Most girls in Nigeria have no idea of their reproductive cycle or reproductive health. So you are asking too much of the average Nigerian lady (and even guys) to know how to prevent pregnacy.

The only contraceptive method most people here know is condom, and condoms present it's own issues. Like;
It's propensity to tear (especially the cheap ones), sex might be spontaneous and no time to find one, and it's difficult to a strictly adhere to constant use in a long and stable relationship, especially when the couples live together.

In terms of contraceptives, believes Nigerians don't possess the discipline to take a tablet everyday, and girls generally believe contraceptive tablets and injection has side effects. My wife says contraceptives make women gain weight. I honestly don't know how true it is, but we use the counting/ safe days method. She has the app downloaded on her phone.

About adoption, the adoption process and laws in Nigeria is crazy. First hospitals can't take unwanted babies for adoption purposes, they don't have the rights. I know of no government adoption agency. There are some non government orphanages that do adoption, but it's crazy. I had a former neighbour while I was living in V/I that adopted a baby, she told me she was only able to adopt after a waiting period of 2 years, and had to pay more than N100,000. She said that the waiting list was very long, and the children that are in demand are those that were picked up on the roads or dropped anonymously on their door step, in which the mothers are unknown. Once the mother is known, no one will want to adopt the baby because of future legal problems. Our adoption laws are very weak.
