My Christian friend did Thanksgiving in his church for surviving a ghastly accident that took the lives of two of our friends. He said " I have come to return the glory to Jesus for saving my life. Two of my friends died in the accident but Jesus saved me. Thank you Jesus " . I left the church and since then I don't pick his calls.


Christians rejoice when they watch Israeli soldiers killing Palestinians simply because of religion.


Muslims rejoice when they watch Palestinian soldiers killing Israelites simply because of religion


Non religious people like us rejoice when there's peace.



See below how this Christian tried to justify killing muslims.

Your friend lacked good communication skills. It's a common mistake which could be insensitive. It would have been wiser for him to avoid the open-show Thanksgiving. Tell your friend his mistakes.

On the other hand, Christians are less than 10 per cent in Isreal and Palestine. Judaism is the religion in Israel, and they even try to oppress Christians. Judaism and Islam share a lot in common if you have read the Koran and the Bible, especially in the area of an eye for an eye. The Law without mercy.
I rest my case.

The officer who responded said that, like other Nigerians, the NIS had only heard the information.

Did anyone read this part?

The spelling and general grammatical errors in this letter alone would raise suspicion. I’m just being honest with you here.

Imagine the first red flag...The Consoler General

Even the title by the OP made me think he was refused entry when he got to UK Not knowing it was visa application denial.

Wahala left and right



This is a scary time to be a Muslim terrorist



But wait ooo why are Yoruba Muslims not as violent as other Muslims

Yoruba Muslims have been able to successfully differentiate their practice of Islam as a religion from their culture. This is why they are more accommodating.
In the Islamic world, and northern Nigeria, Islam is taken both as a religion and culture. Hausa culture has been eroded and overshadowed by the Fulanis to whom Islam is a culture.
MY OPINION.

A christian doesn't speak like that.

Matthew 23:29,33-36 KJV
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

[34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

[35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

[36] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

Jesus Christ said the above. Are you a Christian?

All these are audio changes, the minister is a real psychologist. He knows what people want to hear and says it, it's far from the realities on ground. My little boy passport is still pending with them since Laster year September 25th that he did his capturing. Go and do your passport without bribing the officials and see if it will be processed within six months.

“Please, do not give money to anybody. If there is any passport office where you have done your capturing and they do not give you your passports, please lodge your complaints via the following; 0802 375 3414, preferably SMS and Whatsapp. Or email aa-ajiboye@yahoo.com.”

Forward your case to the minister. Please, give us feedback here.

fkelly:
Be in ur office and be talking rubbish. Since 2 months now my passport isn't ready.

After 2 months an idiot is asking me if I need it through express.

“Please, do not give money to anybody. If there is any passport office where you have done your capturing and they do not give you your passports, please lodge your complaints via the following; 0802 375 3414, preferably SMS and Whatsapp. Or email aa-ajiboye@yahoo.com.”

Forward your case to the minister.

Wow. I am surprised. I asked this same question yesterday afternoon and seeing someone placing it here...

With his friend, Wike, in Abuja, I wonder if he will be cool there

Themanleshey:
Revoke them and do what with them exactly ?

Share them to new set of polithieftians of course

This lie clearly confirms another white elephant 🐘 project is in the making. 4 hours from Lagos to Abuja

Even when the roads were free of traffic I spend almost 2 hours from Mowe to Mile 2.

Focus on developing the railways period.

Rossikk:
I just posted pictures of the wall above here. What are you talking about?

The wall is partly overground and partly moat, which is covered by greenery.

Successive governments have neglected and ignored it.

In a serious country where people took pride in their history and heritage, that wall would have been our BIGGEST INCOME EARNER even more than oil, as a result of tourism.

This is literally the biggest man-made structure ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!

Yet most NIGERIANS don't even know it exists, talk less of the world's people.

Ordinary Stonehenge in England brings in more than 20 billion dollars annually to the UK in tourism receipts.

Stonehenge is just a few rocks piled on top of each other to form a small circle.

Stonehenge

The whole world knows about Stonehenge, but nobody knows about the Great Benin Wall that is 4 times longer than the Great Wall of China.

In fact we have problems as a people.

Number one problem- the nature of humans who lead us. Very shortsighted & selfish beings, many of them.

sunsweet33:
Resign? At my previous place, the manager did this same thing to me and another lady and the worst part was that he still continued even as his wife was heavily pregnant. He would miss morning session to attend his wife’s antenatals then come and disturb us…does it make sense?

I eventually lost my temper and exploded over another issue, he took offence and submitted my name for transfer with so much embarrassment which I rejected and left the job, only to enter this new snake pit again…make una help me o..where am I resigning and running to again

If your story is true, then I believe you need to be prayerful. Don't you think it's strange and weird for a person you never knew from anywhere just resumed as your boss, the next thing, he is getting this close to you.
How do you present or carry yourself? How do you dress? How do you talk? I mean in the office among your colleagues. Are there no other females there? Is this how he harasses them?

You said you left or lost a previous job due to similar harassment? My sister, you need to take out time to ask yourself some questions. This could be a spiritual problem which you need to deal with. Do you have any relationship with God? Shalom!

The bunch of people calling on Nigerians to put their hope on them indeed

Waiting to hear the news of his SANship soon

This song just came to my mind now:

This world is not my home, I'm just passing by... Jimmy Reeves

People...this is a call for sincere and God fearing Nigerians to renew their hope in Jehovah God even as we seek solutions to our situations. God will not disappoint His own, this I know for sure.

Yesterday mumsie came back from meeting and told me that garri now is 1and a half cups for 200naira here in Calabar.

The poor will not only suffocate but be left to die...

That's garri produced by us. Just last night, a shop owner was lamenting that garri has gone AWOL due to its cost. GARRI

doggedfighter:
Nonstop ?


No urine breaks ?


I earnestly hope this gives this teacher the break he needs.

GWR allows 5 minutes break in every 60 minutes.

Correct. He read a tonne of books.

Powersurge:
If you are doing the right thing, Nigeria is not for you

In short, one pays more for doing the right thing than for doing the wrong. I always remember my experience of crossing the Seme Border. I wondered all the questions/charges they were asking for because I used my passport WHEREAS those not using passport would just walk through with ₦500 to ₦1000 in their hands for those manning the entry/ exit.
BY the Help of God, I will continue to do the right thing.

Rayban25:
Did I say I dont know?

Why is it RCCG that is ringing everywhere? Adeboye hasn't taken strict measures to ensure the sanctity of his church. Now it is coming to light and any body can just minister on the pulpit and any political crook can do whatever.

If people like idahosa were alive you wouldn't see this in his church and trying to be making statements in order not to offend people and instead speak out against nonsense going on his church.

RCCG is ringing everywhere because it's the most popular church in Nigeria today.

Your argument and position is baseless and clearly biased induced. Maybe you should tell me what you have against RCCG or Pastor Adeboye. You definitely have an axe to grind.
Are you a member of the church? If no.
How did you know he doesn't talk to his children who misbehave?

Rayban25:
RCCG has been infiltrated by criminals.

There is no Christian organisation or church on planet earth without its fair share of wolves in sheep's clothing.

I will continue to say it that the way people go about getting money or wealth without the fear of God and many of us applaud them at will or see them as role models, is a way to tell us that there is no end in sight for things like this.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2023/09/delta-govt-awards-n78bn-contract-for-flyovers-in-warri-effurun/amp/

Warri is about to get new look with this current adminstration.


God bless Gov sheriff.
God bless Delta State.

Honestly, this contracts or projects don't make sense at all. That money should be used to establish industries or industrial hubs in those places mentioned.

Warri / Effurun look like ghost towns today due to lack of jobs. Conclusion, it is a selfish contract, especially in these economic times.

If the government invest this huge sum in creating farm settlements in some of the many communities, Delta State can end up feeding other states

Our leaders should think creatively, please.

UK should establish these visa business centres in the 36 states and Abuja to reduce transportation for Nigerians.

Guys abeg fear women ooo......dem still dey finish man even after fourty seven years....

What do you have to say about his wife who stayed at his side in all these ordeals? Don't stereotype people. What about the actual culprit? Everyone can never be the same, man or woman. Cheers.

thesilentman:
My blood is burning now as I write.My wife has now completely changed for bad, a few days after our second child.

An erstwhile submissive woman that i thought i had tamed for life has now become a thorn in the flesh to me. I just parted with over 300k unplanned fund for her C.S. I thought she'd be more respectful to me now but no,she has changed completely!

She dares me to do my worst,she cries over small issues that i wonder if it's witchcraft.Or she thinks I can't quit cos she's got two boys for me? The mind boggles. Am just mad and gobsmacked at the same time as all my Red pill O.T have failed and am even considering divorce right now.

I'm at a bar drinking my sorry ass away, brainstorming the best option for me. What could be outta place?

I need candid advice,folks.

I just parted with over 300k unplanned fund for her C.S.

This statement tells me a lot about you and your mindset. You didn't do your wife any favour by paying for the Ceasarean Section, you did yourself good.

Pregnancy and childbirth are emotionally and psychologically draining on women and not all women have the same strength level to handle.

You should make your marriage work. I feel your attitude to her (maybe because of the 300k) is getting to her. Only God knows what you have put her through these few days considering your TONE in this message.

TWO of you have become ONE sir. Pet her. apologise to her. Make her happy. Your happiness is embedded in her own if you truly love her. God bless you.

TimT:
I am single... I have a friend who is married. We always hangout at least every weekend... But last weekend, he didn't come around I called but he didn't give me a tangible reason...
So yesterday, he came around my place, I noticed his mood isn't as cheerful as it used to be... I asked, what was wrong?. He said "You Neva marry you no go understand".
He wanted to say more, but I said no need, he shouldn't say anything.. till he left I kept quiet.. I didn't say anything...
So I want to ask o, if na only married person fit give advice to who don marry...

Are you a male or female? If it is male to male alright. But if it is female to male or vice versa, STAY OFF!

Action speaks louder than words. NIS needs serious sanitation sanitising. Hope this man is a ready sanitiser.

A situation where you undergo stress for wanting to do the right and those being encouraged to do the wrong thing do not incur stress and 'loss' like one is very sad indeed.

BUSINESS DAY
Gold export hits N78bn, highest on record
Oladehinde Oladipo

June 9, 2023



"Africa’s biggest economy has exported gold worth N78.9 billion within the last 15 months, a first-time trend in Nigeria’s export economy.

Findings by BusinessDay showed Nigeria is gradually tapping from a cash-spinning mining sector that has remained largely under-utilised since the crude oil boom, a development that is part of a key step in efforts to pivot the economy away from oil.

Data gleaned from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed Nigeria exported nonmonetary gold (including gold plated with platinum) in powder form to Switzerland valued at N14.39 billion in the first quarter of 2023.

Further findings showed Nigeria exported nonmonetary gold worth $61.6bn in 2022, the highest since NBS started collating data."

Thank you.

No one is stealing from us, we are the ones stealing from ourselves! In the past 15 months Nigeria has exported gold amounting to $78 billion but our crude oil exports in the whole of 2022 was $46 billion. This $78 billion came from exporting a little over 2000 ounces of gold from an estimated 300 million ounce reserve. But the public is made to believe that their economy can only be determined by crude exports!

Please, I am interested in getting the reference for this information you shared here. I want to know more about it.

ViktorOG:
Nice one bro. Thanks!

You're welcome bro.

ViktorOG:
Great contribution. Kudos! Do you know anything about lagos to cotonou? Your contribution on this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again

Lagos to Cotonou is straightforward. I was there late June and returned early July for the first timer. I still spent more than I should being a first timer who drivers and Okada riders want to take advantage of. But my return trip was smooth and cheaper.

Your best and cheapest way is to find your way to Badagry from Mile 2 or Alaba or around LASU. Don't take Seme border straight from these places unless you have load of cash.

Mile 2 to Badagry is between 1500-2000 (I paid ₦800 in July). Badagry to Seme border is between ₦800-1000 (I paid ₦700 in July)

Just walk straight to the border, avoid those Okada guys with sweet mouth that they will carry you through. The 2-3k they will charge is a waste. I paid why going due to ignorance. Just walk straight in, if you want to stamp your passport, hold it and your Yellow card. I stamped mine and gave ₦500 to NIS while the Benin immigration collected ₦1000 to stamp me into the country. I paid ₦500 to the security men as I was being carried out by the Okada.

It's better to get to the park and board a vehicle. It's less than 10 minutes from the border along the road once you enter the country.

Return trip was far better as I had learnt my lesson. From Cotonou straight to the park at Seme. I walked straight to the border, Ports Health asked for my Yellow card, and wanted to collect money because I don't have Meningitis vaccine record. I pleaded since I was low on cash. They let me go.

Stamping my passport, the Benin guy asked for ₦1000, I gave him the 400cfa with me. He took it and stamped my passport. At the Nigeria window, my passport was stamped, he asked for 1k, I told him I didn't have, which was true as I needed to cross to use POS. He let me go. That's how I just walked out through the gate back to Nigeria.

If you don't have passport, be ready to give at least 1k to our immigration guys at the gate (Nigeria end) and 500 or 1k to Benin guys at their end. You are in.

NIGERIA NEEDS TO BE RESTRUCTURED BADLY. WHO SAYS ALL THE STATES CANNOT BE THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT ENTITIES. THE FEDERAL SEAT NEEDS TO BE DECONSTRUCTED TO MAKE THE PRESIDENT & NASS MEMBERS EMPLOYEES OF THE VARIOUS INDEPENDENT STATES.

IF GHANA, BENIN, TOGO, MAURITIUS, NIGER, GAMBIA etc ARE INDEPENDENT NATIONS, WHO SAYS WE CAN'T HAVE SUCH IN NIGERIA.

I hope they return to replicate the good things they see there in Nigeria.
