celebrate me with likes abeg

Yeah, its our birthday mate.

Nigeria did the same anyway, Ghana must go is still a very fresh Memory. Despite the best English, Mathematics and Science teachers were Ghanians. The government kicked them out with the approval of majority of the Citizens.
**Oh I missed Mr and Mrs Kumarh.
If Nigeria did it why can't USA?

Neminc:
Typical Nigerian woman. She is too engrossed in trying to tell another person how to manage his household when her own house is in disarray. Madness

You're very correct.

Statsocial:
The two universities are completely owned by winners chapel. To ur second point, that he lectures 5 undergraduate courses doesn't mean he would be assigned to those courses each session. A session where he has administrative responsibilities might see the university reduce his academic one, to maybe two courses or so as the university sees fit.

You made a great point relating the course issue.
***As to the ownership of the 2 Universities, read the Uni's Wikipedia page which I'm sure was written by the schools' officials. It states on both Convenant and Landmark pages that the schools are affiliated with the church, no where does it mention or used the word "owned". I don't see this as an oversight or mistake. Other church owned Unis used the word owned.
I rest my case, we are free to believe whatever we want.

The Board of Regents, Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, has appointed Dr. Azubuike Ezenwoke as the new Registrar of the University.

Dr. Ezenwoke who recently bagged his doctoral degree at Covenant University was until his appointment, the Dean of Students, Covenant University, Ota; Landmark’s sister university also owned by the same proprietor, the Living Faith Church Worldwide (aka Winners’ Chapel).

At 32, Dr. Ezenwoke arguably is the youngest university Registrar in Africa.



A 2007 First-Class graduate of Computer Science at Covenant University, Dr. Ezenwoke was the first graduate of Covenant University to be appointed the Dean of Students two times in the same university, 2011 and 2016.

In his undergraduate days, he was the Chairman, Students Council, what is referred to as Student Union Government in other universities.

He teaches undergraduate classes Computer Programming I (C Language), Computer Programming II (C++ Language), Internet Programming, Introduction to Problem Solving, Structured and Sequential Programming (Python) among others.

Dr. Ezenwoke is married with children.

@OP
***Covenant And Landmark University are both affliated with the Church but not owned by the Winners Chapel. I don't think affliated and owned have the same legal interpretation.
***A lecturer teaching 5 undergrad courses I'm sure he has masters students under his Supervision as well. I hope this work reduces now that he's a Dean.

The devil is a liar.
**Prayer Band section is very much needed now on NL.
Thanks @OP for sharing ur story, enough advices offered. I prayer Almighty God hear ur cry and may his divine will manifest.

You left home 3:30am to attend a church service that starts at 8am? . Thanks for sharing ur story.

Lakeside79:
You need not sell BRF to me , I am an unrepentant die hard fan of his, but to go as far as saying he had been the best minister of power is flawed ...

Facts do stand to show prof Nnaji who served under the legendary ineffectual buffoon was the best .

BRF may have been an awesome governor but to conclude that also makes him perfect to be president is wrong

I couldn't agree more with ur point. I always say this, There's no state in Nigeria whose political demographics replicate that of Nigeria as a country. Being a President of a country like Nigeria isn't a job a lot of people can qualify for due to its complexity. Ask any Past President, they will tell you, it's a very hard job.
Lots of these governors practice autocratic governance which they will neva get away with being a President of Nigeria. Ask Buhari and Osinbajo how far, I'm sure they never expect such complexity of the job.

Believe it or not, Senator David Mark may be the next President of this country. I don't know him, never met him but looking at the interested candidates so far he has the numbers, the political connections, the money, and as well the backing of the Nigeria Godfathers. Don't get me wrong, as a young person I wish for a more better and younger candidate bt the reality is if wishes are horses, beggars will ride. Most of us that comment here are neither politician nor registered voter.
So let me explain my points
1. The Numbers: So far only few regions of all the country have presented a Presidential candidate. David is Middlebetter, this region comprises of some many states, which is also a good thing for the stability of the country. The last Middlebetter Head of state has one of the longest reign in the history of the country, he's Rtd General Yakubu Gowon.
2. The Political connection: his CV speaks for itself
3. Money: It's obvious
4. The Godfathers: Believe it or not, all the presidential candidates/ president of the country are not matters of coincidence except GEJ, although his VP candidature was neva coincidental. It's obvious that David Mark is a IBB loyalist and put that against other suggested candidates, they have no grounded Godfathers like the ex-head of state.
**Remember Democratic politics is a game of numbers (the silent majority).

EgunMogaji:
Just because other countries are doing it doesn't mean that it's the right thing for us.

With our rife unemployment, this could be an excellent opportunity to give employment to Nigerians.

Having a picture on the visa makes sense to me.

OP, you made some valid points except the interview part. The nearest Nigerian embassy to me in Los Angeles is Atlanta and not convenient.

Thanks OP.

**The contractor handling this payment is a Nigerian company based in CT and fully staffed by Nigerians.

**Oga you can't expect Nigeria to have embassy in all states of the US. The country has 3-4 embassies around the US, in my opinion they don try. You choose to live in LA biko, go ask the Nigerians in Canada where the only embassy is in Ottawa.

Amoto94:
Oga the thing tire me most NLs are ignorant of simple facts yet ran amok thinking they know it all. I pity the future of this country

It's pathetic, everyone seems to know it all yet don't know shit. I applied for Turkish visa with US passport, I paid $20 and printed it instantly online myself. People wey neva go anywhere go dey form World traveler.

There's a God.
Happy Sunday peeps

SirJeffry:
I recently secured a Nigerian visa and I was led to apply through one INNOVATE 1 SERVICES who ended up taking $20 as a processing fee after paying $160 visa fees. At the end of the day, I still paid another $30 processing fee to Nigeria embassy Washington. I'm not much worried about the fees but why establish and fund Nigeria immigration services when they can't take care of their business such as this? I've never heard or seen this practice done in other countries. I don't even want to talk about the shabby Nigeria visa with no passport photograph included, no visa interview, unlike other countries who grill intending travelers at interviews.

Any immigration officer here to clarify these?

@OP, please next time do a proper research b4 making negative comment abt Nigeria.
**You claimed you've not heard of other countries that contract the visa application. Well, I ask you the simple question.... how many visa applications to other countries have you done? The simple truth is, lots of countries contract their visa/passport applications.
**You also claimed ur visa doesn't carry ur pic. I'll ask again how many visa applications to other countries have you done? Lots of countries issue visa without interview and applicant's pic.
I know lots of issues are wrong with our country, but don't use the excuse to criticise everything in the country.
God bless Nigeria.

donteanz:
whose words, Jesus's word or that of Paul.

All of the above, where there're contradictions Jesus's word will seem supreme with a good argument.

ITbomb:
Jesus operated a faith under Judaism that the promised Messiah has come. He still attended the synagogue, temple and did things according to the tradition of the Jews but with a new message of love and personal relationship with The Father.

Even Peter followed suit even after the Pentecost as well as all others who were with Christ during His time on earth BUT Paul was given a different mandate by Christ after his resurrection.

Christ on earth repeatedly talked about saving the Jews first before giving the crumbs to the Gentiles but we would never understand what happened after resurrection that he commissioned Paul specifically for the Gentile.

The gospel we hear today is more of the new mandate given to Paul and not the version Peter was mandated by Christ Himself to spread (ie Christian faith within Judaism) that's why Peter and Paul initially had some clash before they decided to take their respective gospel to their targeted audience.

Peter to the Jews
Paul to the Gentiles

Read Acts 15
If you consider vs 5, you will observe that certain believers in Christ were still Pharisees.
After the arguments, you read the final verdict in vs 29.
If you read the Bible well you will notice that from then onwards, Paul's teaching dominated the rest of the gospel.

What I understand from this is that the gospel can be adapted to every audience culture and laws. Unlike the way some of our cultures and traditions have been abandoned in the name of religion .
May his spirit gives us more understanding of his words.

Can someone explain to me why despite the hatred he's getting this dude/mude keeps smiling to the bank. Hhhhmmmm, seems he understands this rule of publicity that says it's better to infamous than to be unfamous. Y'all should keep throwing ur hatred @ him, just so you know he's riding on them and smiling to the bank.
**Please, next time you see his news/story just look and waka pass. God bless our hustle.

I tired oooo for this Venza hype. I think she's better off with a Rav4 bt at the end of the day it's his money and he can buy whatever.
And this just prove a point abt us Nigerians, we don't have personal dreams. We just dey do follow for everything. Hahaha, the richest man in how church bought a Venza, my peeps will start praying to God for a Venza without thinking abt the practicality of the car.

It's funny reading this news abt the EFCC boss. He's reporting a thief to a bigger thief. . He's reporting the banks to the IMF (group of bankers). It's obvious alot of Nigeria civil servants don't just understand how to the world works. The IMF is very much aware of the looting of the country's wealth, the same members of the group will accept the stolen funds and repackaged it as a loan back to the country it was stolen from.
Madam Ngozi Iweala, understands this system very well as a World Bank trainee. Did you hear her shouting abt stolen funds during her tenure as Finance/Coordinating Minister?
***The IMF is a group of bankers delegated to loans funds to troubled economies around the world.

Uncivilized Zoo called Nigeria will never vote for independent candidates, instead uncivilized Nigerians longer throats elders and youths will choose to make corruptable mistakes by receiving peanut that won't last for a month 1500-5000 in voting wrong people from APC into power.


2019 is around the corner. Are educated illiterates ready to votes corrupt politicians(APC) into government foolishly and start complaining after elections and attacking each other in the name of APC



I pity 21st century of uncivilized Nigerian's elders and youths.

Congratulations to the only civilized Nigerian.
The hard truth is, democracy is a game of numbers. And most of the time, the silent majority selects the winner. Most of us that shout on social media don't vote and majority of those who vote don't even have a smart phone. Democratic political game is the same around the world. The primary goal of any elected official anywhere in the world is to get reelected. And they use every resources and instruments @ their disposal to this goal.
***Please don't blame the voters, blame the system.

Nigeria Ben Carson, . Ministry of housing and Urban development is set for you.
Sir, you're better off treating ur patients and acting in political Advisory capacity. The truth of the matter is, in the nigeria politics of today there are Kingmakers who delegates Presidential candidates.

Ebonyi peeps just don't want to get civilised like the other Igbos.

I thought it's summertime, so why the winter attire naw?

NSE hhhhmmmm, such a volatile market. Gains almost a Trillion naira in a 2days and can also lose the same amount in 2 hours. I see it as a dump and pick market. Investors dump their money and in 2 day they can ask for it money back.

Very Nice, it's a good news for me. I pray this becomes law ASAP. Although, it has been a great avenue for many young Nigerians to explore other regions of the country. Unfortunately, this good intentions has been corrupted by stupid bureaucracy.

Dear Pastor Bakare, some of us saw this coming 2-3 years ago. There's absolutely nothing strange about Buhari's government, the country was in exact situation during his military regime. We shouted and cried not to entrust Buhari with the governance of this great nation, y'all friends and cohorts of the Presidential candidate then called us unbelievers and unpatriotics.
Sir, this content of ur sermon is coming too late and I think you're trying to savage ur image/reputation, also distanting urself from the current visionless government b4 we the oppressed understand we need to isolate and stone y'all.


****historians/bible scholars, what happened to prophets/ men of God who made wrong predictions and prophesy?

@OP, I understand ur hesitant of not telling ur parents abt the issue. The truth is most Nigeria parents won't address this issue the right way. As the elderly one, you should have an idea of how ur mummy will react. Most parents will probably escalate the issue, such reporting the kids @ school, reporting to a religious leader, make the kids undergo an elongated punishment. If you're not careful, you may even regret reporting them in the first place and it may affect ur relationship with ur siblings for life.
Are you the first born? If you are, please put both of them under surveillance especially the girl who's 14. She may result to seeking sexual attention in the neighbourhood, school or church.
Can you think of anybody in the family of that is trustworthy who can advise you on exactly what to do. You have to be very careful here, telling the wrong person may leads to ur siblings becoming victim of predators.

I stand to be corrected and i'm not in anyway
campaigning for David Mark but in recent times,
has anyone noticed that David mark has been
quiet all this while, observing , not even being
probed as much as he's among the guys who
looted heavily right from the time of Obj- Gej??
this
man might have plans for presidency come 2019
if you ask me , cos if you noticed, since the
inception of democracy,it has been a one time
military general, or somebody who held power
during the military regime till date, from Obj-
yar'aduwa-Pmb minus GeJ cos the plan was for
him to complete yar Aduwa's tenure and then
rock one tenure then hand over to another one
time military personnel or general cos no military
man in Nigeria would want a civilian to rule them
for 10yrs(yar aduwa's remaining 2yrs plus Gej
first tenure of 4yrs=6+ second tenure if GEj had
won the last election ) Even Obj's behaviors
towards the end of Gej's first tenure would tell.
In recent times, I noticed a lot of members on
NL coming on the comment zone to profess their
support and be giving their opinions on who
might be the next President of Nigeria all good.
you might want to suggest or have either
Atiku,Tinubu ,saraki , Rochas, Amaechi or even
kwankwaso be the President of Nigeria but don't
you think a political party is entitled and only
allowed to present only one presidential
candidate, mind you, virtually all the names listed
are from APC if not all. why did you think Obj
came out months ago to say that he didn't tear
his PDP membership card, I believe there is still
an iota of godfatherism in Nigerian politics if not
why is GeJ putting the blame of defeat in the
last election on Obama ? why is Obj, David mark
and other political leaders coming at him with
regards the statement he made? I believe the
Igbos would rather have David mark be the next
President of Nigeria if presidency ain't coming
from the east (based on his experience and
grands in the Nigerian government/politics) and
not only the igbos even the southerners, and
from what I see, the only obstacle that will
hinder David mark from being the next President
of Nigeria is if PMB dies before his tenure
elapses . As much as there' are more to the
Nigeria politics let's keep our fingers crossed and
hope for a better Nigeria. #1love

You are obviously a good political observer, wish I can meet you and gist abt Politics over some bottle of Guinness.
Nice post bro.

Obviously, that toto sweet you very well. You find it difficult to say final good bye . As soon as you escorted her back to the hotel, that should have been the final goodbye. Guy it's official you now have a girlfriend who has made you her next of kin. Cutting her off permanently at this point is difficult, she knows ur house address. Kindly go visit her to know what happened and ask her for the true story of her life.

**You may have to a seek legal opinion b4 visiting at the top tier Police station where she dey.

Nawa for you oooo. Despite all the free date-gaming post on NL you still dey fail. Simple truth is you're giving this girl too much attention and she's taking advantage of you.
Next time she comes for ur service, ask for ur charges. If she Ingores you, tell her she owes you. If she ask you for a meal, tell her you're broke and can't afford to get it for her.
The worst is she'll stop coming to ur shop and that's the best for you. @least you can channel ur energy on another girl. Hope you've learnt from ur mistakes.
