Well said, but I'm still scratching my head over a time since 1999 that Benue had good leadership...Akume? Suswam? ...and now this one...The rape of the state continues...

True, bad leadership has always been our problem bro. I know from observations that humans in general are always tempted to think that certain present conditions are worse than the past because we forget about our terrible past very fast, but in this case it is not so. Since I was born I've never known any governor of Benue who is as terrible as this one.

Every time 'I am a Christian ' 'the Bible says' blah blah blah. Governor 'in God we trust' but he still remains the worst we have ever had. We don't care what you do with Oshiomhole Oga, you're worse than the devil.

@op, you left the dude and married your wife and you still want him to be giving you his spotlight. You are very selfish and heart, I pity your wife.

Oboy, to tell you the truth, this your comment has thrown me into a very dangerous level of confusion.

SilverNorGold:
I condemn the attack! But truth be said:

99% of the protesters there think #EndSars is an annual festival like Christmas..

I was shocked when my neighbor asked me why I didn't kill chicken to celebrate the EndSars festival.. That he just finished killing a Ram to celebrate it. He then asked mockingly, "abi you no know sey the world dey celebrate End of Sars?"..

I was puzzled.. Then I asked him, what is there to celebrate?

Then the lecture began.. He told me October has been chosen by "world leaders" to commemorate the day the notorious SARS Coronavirus (SARS-CoV), was defeated.

I must confess, I learnt a lot from the discussion. I never knew people were celebrating the end of that deadly virus. All this while, I was erroneously thinking they were protesting against a police unit, SARS.. But thank God for my friend.

Before I leave, I will use this opportunity to say, Happy End of Sars celebration to all Nairalanders.. May God deliver us from Covid-19 like he did us from SARS-CoV.


God bless Nigeria.

Lol. This post reminds me of Nwamaikpe, I miss that guy here.

When I was 14-22, i was thinking how pple who committed suicide are fools and idiots. But wen I became a full grown adult, I began to see reasons with dem, I began to see the real cause of heart attack and HBP. Mehn adulthood nor easy at all.

R.I.P man! Everywhere rough

Exactly, I used to have same thoughts too when I was way much younger until three incidents happened and it changed my thoughts about being judgmental towards people who suffer depression or commit suicide.
1* When we were around 12 years, a friend of ours hanged himself. I just couldn't figure out why. Trust me, it wasn't murder.
2* My uncle who was a Pastor, one who would reject drugs when he was sick claiming he received devine healing from God's angels, despite pleading from my mom, a medical personnel, who tried and even succeeded at some points to convince him to seek medical help. He woke up suddenly one day and drank a poisonous liquid. He died. I couldn't understand why someone who gave much words of encouragement could turn around and be a huge source of discouragement at the time.
3* Finally it was me. In 2012, during my service year, I fell into depression. I didn't know and till date I don't know what caused it. NOTHING in this world made sense to me anymore. Everything became so dark and meaningless including life. No, I wasn't broke, I just don't know what happened. It was at that point I started drinking and surprisingly alcohol faded that feeling gradually until it disappeared permanently. Don't get me wrong, I never became a drunk but I drank occasionally. Now I don't even know if I drink anymore. Isn't been about 2 months since my last 2 bottles.

Dayoebe:
Gov Zulum is a blessing to northern Nigerian citizens.
I wonder how he is an APC member

Until the day we ALL realize that bad leaders are bad leaders and vice versa, irrespective of the party they belong to, we will continue to be used and dumped by these politicians because this is one device they've been using to deceive some of us who refuse to see this glaring fact bro.

It's a pride to a typical Benue man...

As long as yu avoid their northern masters

That supplies Dem burantansi..

A place called north bank is worse than sambisa

When they spot southerners only ooo

So I was born in Benue, grew up here, lived in the north and east, back in Benue. I know we have our down sides, a major which is bad governance back to back but this aspect of tribalism you displayed here is a major lie bro. Nobody cares about outsiders in Benue, rather the struggle is silently between the indigenes- Tiv-Tiv-Idoma specifically. You may talk about cult related deaths in North bank but NOT tribal related deaths. I live here, you just heard and concluded.

NORSIYK:
Today's election I am actually sitting on the fence.

The Governor seeking reelection is our son in law and the first Lady of the state is our daughter. So, if he's reelected, I'll be happy that our daughter remains the first Lady of the state and will continue calling the shots.

If Mr. Eyitayo wins I'll also be happy as a PDP supporter.

Hehe, See? But these two reasons are a major part of the problems we have in this country bro. We all want who is 'our brother' or who belongs to 'our party' to rule over us irrespective of how they'll perform. Provided its 'our person' sitting there, it's ok if we continue to suffer.

'I wonder' still de catch me since Diamond turn to Access. Access bank's charges are outrageous.

dollytino4real:
wen i said death is not just because of the woman's news alone

OK sis.

Hehe, I expected this your answer ma, because I know you'll read through again ma. You no commit crime ma.

why is death news everywhere sef?

Nobody died here ma.

SARS again!!!
This guys are Heartless and Show no Mercy.

I Seriously Believe this SARS guys together with the Bokoharam guys will likely be the Foot Soldiers of the antichrist to Unleash Wickedness on People here in Nigeria after the Saints are gone in the Rapture.

I Believe they will be the ones to wield Power and sufferings on those who will refuse to take the Mark..

Brothers and Sisters, Let's Look at the Wicked acts going on here why the Grace of God is still here. Then Imagine how it's gonna be after the Grace is taken away..

Flee From Whatever is a Hinderance to the Salvation of your Soul.
Surrender to JESUS and Live Prepared..

Ensure you are not left Behind..

#WeFlySoon

I will keep asking you as long as you keep posting this your flying away message. Explain what Jesus meant in Matthew 24. You aren't going anywhere, you will be flogged or even killed by these people you have assigned the role of foot soldiers for the Antichrist. You will only be lucky to survive the suffering until Jesus comes. It's not me that said it o. Na so Jesus talk

Johnnyessence:
abegi, stop your hatred joor

Smh, how Nigeria go ever better with this kind of attitude? With this kind of blind followership? Peace.

Johnnyessence:
kikiki, you stop the hatred on him, he has done extremely well in Benue state. Ask Benue people.

That's the funny thing bro, you guys from outside Benue praise him because you don't really know him. You love him because whenever a topic or situation everyone hates comes up, he comes up to champion such course e.g Fulani matter, water bill, party propaganda etc. He's such a smooth talker who rides solely on sentiments and the gulliblity of the masses, particularly you guys outside the state. Come to Benue and shout those words you wrote up there and see what will happen to you. I repeat, he's the worst we've ever had in history..... I'm from Benue by the way, so it's not about me asking but it's about you asking us and knowing the devil of a man he is. Don't just love a colossal failure for sake of the Party he belongs to.

Samyj247:
Nigerians are fools. u kill criminals in the street and allow the main criminals in political offices to walk freely. Are u guys not fools. Who is making the economy difficult and unbearable for the masses? The politicians of course. If the economy is good, the number of thieves we have in the street will reduce.

please stop jungle justice. You can arrest them and handle them to the police...some of these street thieves might be innocent.

FOOLS

This was me until last week bro. I was on admission in the hospital while my wife and my boy of four months were at home when they came 'visiting'. They pulled me so many years back with what they took from me. What I had laboured for years all gone in just one night. Should I go on stealing too because I lack some things I need? Surprisingly, just about 3 days ago, another was unlucky, he was caught after attempting to shoot one of my neighbors in a bid to escape but missed. The foo.l had just one bullet. He was given the beating of his life. I know I can't take someone's life but there I was standing and wishing they'd have beaten him to death before the police arrived. Me of all people? Just within few days I had changed the way I used to see these things. Change is constant bro. Don't just call people foo.ls, things change, you just might be the foo.l you think others are tomorrow. Whenever such news pop up and I speak against jungle justice, people always say "until it happens to you". I never understood, I never got the message until it happened to me. I've changed.... At least for the moment.

Johnnyessence:
see this one again. he's just saying trash as expected. obaseki will never decamp to clueless failed APC party. this was how they said that Benue state governor Samuel ortom will decamp to APC in Benue state, but was rebutted by Governor Ortom. besides Edo state is PDP. obaseki isn't an ingrate man but a gratitude man.

A haaa, someone finally called that name. For your info, Ortom jumped from PDP to APC to PDP, one man within 5 years, yet he's still the same trash that he has always been, worst in the history of the state. Why are you guys so much into this party shi"*t? Aren't they the same people? A bad man is a bad man and a good man is good also, irrespective of the party he belongs to.

EastGold:
PDP offered him umbrella when he was pushed into the rain, he will be an ingrate if he decamps to APC.

Seems you don't know these politicians. Shebi Ortom jumped from PDP to APC to PDP again? One governor within 5 years, did he die? It happend too that year in Bauchi. These are just a few examples. The funny thing about the whole thing is how these men get the masses convinced that one of the party is better than the other one when as a matter of fact they all have been and will continue to be members of both parties pending the direction in which the wind of "democracy" favors them. I've never bought this PDP-APC sh*it for a day, they're one and the same. It's just that Nigerians forget too fast!

Tittos:
You do realise that picture is a digital model also called a computer generated model and not a real picture. The idu station is of the Lagos model . Have we come to the point where we now pass off computer images as how Nigeria looks for clout or for politics. BTW, these counties have moved to speed trains and electric trains, so no one will have confused these pics for Tokyo or Dubai. Not especially when these kinda trains in these countries are being phased out

No bro, it's OK for you to criticize but I do 3ds and I know 3d models when I see one. That isn't a model, it's a real image, just clean camera doing it's job.

Sometimes they'd want to make us believe Willie Willie only kills bad people, then when we try to settle down to watch in peace he becomes so wicked that he kills innocent people, even kids. I remember that episode he bit that small boy with his orange abi mango in his hand. Willie Willie been no de try for us that year abeg.

The girl used to be class mates with my younger brother back in ECWA secondary school. I remember how he used to tell me how the girl suddenly turned a slay queen till she got hooked up with one 'big popular Yoruba guy' - He didn't know FFK then. That's how they slay once they leave here, most of them almost always from very poor backgrounds.

Awol1:
Money couldn't buy him a life forever?

And they will tell me not to say all is vanity?

We know, thank you, but there are certain times statements like this isn't necessary. This is such a time bro.

Johnmattee:
The past in Nigeria is always better than the present, I don't know what the future will say if we are going this way.

It has always been so. I made this statement during the time of Yar'adua when some persons were insulting him heavily here then. They must have forgotten now. Nigerians forget so fast like fishes. We can now see for ourselves. I've been making same statement with the passage of each administration, during Jona's, I wrote it here too and I'll write it again. It's not a curse, I pray it doesn't happen that way but I still think a time will come when people will look back and wish we were in this present time. This is Nigeria.

END TIMES
______________________________________________________
Great Tribulation (Persecution, Wars, Recession, Insecurity.....etc) --> | Rapture --> | Great Tribulation [Part 2] (Anti Christ One World Government) --> | Jesus 1000 Years Reign --> | Armageddon (Final Battle) --> | Judgment Day (End of the World + Judgment + Beginning of New Heaven and Earth for eternity

Per this chart above, the Great Tribulation I was referring to is the one after the rapture. I'm 100% sure if I didn't miss or mix up anything as per the expected events of the end times, but that pretty much is like my idea or understanding of the inevitable events the world will soon face. The tribulation I mean to escape with the rapture is the one that happens after the son of perdition is revealed and he takes over the world, and compels the world to receive the microchip implant and those who oppose will be severely dealt with, plus the supernatural punishments that will occur at this time in the world as documented in Revelations 13. I don't want to be here at that time. If peradventure the rapture is to occur in my biological lifetime, then i sure do wanna check out with that train mehn. Cuz its gonna be Hell on Earth afterwards, literally

Hehehe, you aren't going nowhere bro. Jesus said it's the worst that would ever be before he comes. So be it microchip tribulation, obama tribulation, gates tribulation or whatever tribulation, we're gonna face it together bro. You ain't going no where.

Righteousness89:
So touching! I Feel the Pains the Cat is Going through..
Not Having your Eyes could be So Terrible..

Now this is quite Similar to what is Gonna Happen very Soon.
During the Great Tribulation,
As many who Refuse to take the Mark of the Beast will be Terribly Tormented!
You will not be able to buy/Sell
Your Eyes could be taken off like this..
The Torments and Pains will be So Terrible..

Do you Really wanna go through that?
Now is day of Salvation!
Now is the Day to Ensure you Make Peace with God through JESUS Christ so as not to Miss the Rapture!

Let's make use of this Precious Privilege we Have now so as not to Miss the Rapture..

I've asked people countless times on this forum whenever they come up with this 'left behind' story, but each time I do they remain silent. If the tribulation is to happen before the rapture then what was Jesus saying in Mt.24? From all indication Jesus meant you 'Mr Righteousness' and all sinners will face the tribulation together. You might even die for his sake before he comes. Meanwhile the topic is about a blind cat..... There you go again.

Openbusiness:
There's the End or End of the World; and there's the rapture. Some people confuse the 2. This subject matter is about the rapture, not the end of the World. Let me tell you something, the rapture is going to be one of the most NOTABLE events in this world. Because when it happens, it will be UNDENIABLE. Nobody will be able to deny its occurrence. It is not something that will happen and will be hidden from the world. One day, maybe tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people will just vanish. No trace, no evidence of murder or physical relocation. It will cause global astonishment, it will be a major news across the world. Millions gone missing, untraceable, disappeared. The world will be confused, for those who have based their existence on the realm of physical reality only. But the other guys running the show, the people running the New World Order, they know what it means, they won't be confused, they were expecting it, it is a green light for them that they have been waiting for to finally take over the World. That's why, the physical embodiment of the Antichrist will SHOW up after the rapture occurs. He has been waiting for the saints to go and without them going, he couldn't step up and step out to take over the world. So these things go hand in hand. The rapture is not a miracle. It is a prophecy, a true life prophecy and like every other prophecy it is "figure out -able", it is decipherable. That some people tried before to figure the period the event of the rapture will occur and failed, doesn't mean it is impossible. Doesn't mean others should stop trying. With more knowledge and understanding, and digging deep research, it is achievable, that's what I think. Jesus said, We should Watch, because we don't know the hour it will happen. So I think trying to dig deep on this rapture subject is one of the ways to watch and stay sharp. I wish more people can put forward more practical computational theories on it. I will be interested to hear about what they know and can prove.

Ok, about the rapture, according to Jesus, it's going to happen after the great tribulation -Jesus said so. So whether you're righteous o, or you're a sinner o, we're all going to face it together- according to Jesus. That story about the unrighteous left behind for the Antichrist to deal with was portrayed in a movie many years back and it gained popularity over the years, particularly amongst the 'not my portion' 'no suffering' christians.Thing is, most Christians these days no longer believe in Jesus' words, not just about this topic but many others. Haven't you noticed most pastors pray, cast, bind etc in Jesus' name but hardly talk about Jesus or act Christlike? Read Mt. 24, Tribulation before rapture, not the other way round - that's Jesus I'm quoting, not my words bro.....and again, I don't believe in these guesses from these men. We've had too many. If you think it is right for people to continue making these predictions, don't you think it's right for us to continue seeing them as the failures they always turn out to be?

Openbusiness:
Not sure if am 100% correct in interpretation, but he said something like 2030 being a reference of some sort, according to his calculation and then the rapture could either happen like 3 years before then, or 6 years there about after, or 10 years or something. So it was like a theoretical analysis. Do I know if he is right or wrong. NO! I don't have any research or deep knowledge on it. But I won't just insult and ridicule him for putting out such a theory. Most of the scientific laws we have in the world today were once theories put forward by people and during their time many of them were dismissed by their societies as either being crazy or stupid or heretic or possessed or something negative. But the wise societies didn't write them off outrightly, they sponsored expeditions and research to thoroughly analyse whatever those claims were, and sometimes in the process of trying to check if such theories were true, it was either they discovered Yes, it's true, or NO, it isn't true and then because they were doing their own research they sometimes will come up with a modified theory or a new theory that actually works. These are the things that fuelled human advancement. There was a time the theory that man could fly was considered stupid and crazy and impossible etc, but look at where we are today, because some people actually took the time to verify or disprove those theories. So for me, I think theories are good. At least, it presents a challenge for rational activities and helps to expand knowledge as people try to either workout such theories as correct or prove them wrong. Whichever the outcome is, it is good for Humanity. Thomas Edison speaking relative to theories that birth research and inventions said something like, He didn't fail, he just discovered 1000 ways it wouldn't work. So sometimes, to succeed we must fall first. Is Pastor Chris right about his theory? I DON'T KNOW. I really don't have an idea. But I love the fact that he tried to do something significant. I mean, the rapture is averu significant event and if we are even able to compute and understand or figure out a correct period for its possible occurrence, I think that's a very giant leap for Christianity and the world at large. Now that he has put forward this theory, I believe and expect other people, maybe theologians or pastors or religious community to look at what he said, and make a review to try to understand it first of all, and then analyse it to verify whether it's accurate or not. In the process, more theories might come forward, and before you know it, someone might eventually come up with something accurate and factual, or prove whether this theory Pastor Chris gave is true or not true. So it will cause people to try to push their boundary of knowledge further and test their minds for better ideas, and this is a good thing for Humanity. This is how we made progress this far. All the scientific laws we have today, whether physics, chemistry, biology or science in general, they were all theories at the beginning. It was when people made the effort to prove or disprove them, that they became laws after their authenticity were confirmed. That's it. So me I don't know why some people now have to turn this thing to an insult contest. If we keep ridiculing people like that, then we will kill the drive for creativity in people, because they will be afraid to come out or speak about the ideas or theories they found about for fear of being stigmatized by society. So I won't support that. I support creativity, I support free thinking. Yes some crazy ideas may come from time to time, but it will die natural death when it is found to be false. But then again, the best ideas also come from creativity and free thinking. That's part of the beauty of life

I don't know if you know that there has been numerous cases of "mathematical calculations" in history about the end of the world that have all woefully failed? Hundreds and hundreds of failed cases. You know the silly thing about all these cases? Once the year/date passes, people forget about the prediction and move on with their lives, waiting for the next prediction. This pastor is wise. He chose a time quite far from this year, a time most of us must have forgotten he ever made such a prediction. We pray for long life, someone must surely fish out this video when the time comes. The Internet never forgets, make sure you don't forget this prediction then too. Long life we pray bro.

Okay...... Antichrist or Anarchist?

They are two different words bro....there's some possibility you'll reply that you know.

I used to experience it when I was young but as time went by it disappeared naturally. Surprisingly, last year it started again and continued till some months back this year. Now I don't feel it anymore.
