So sad. I just spoke with him around March! RIP Chair

Tapout:
in some countries when citizens come out to protest like this, it's armed forces come out for shooting range.

Stop shaking tables. This is hate speech!

I believe he has a role to play in creating this pandemic. How come he has a vaccine already patented. SMH
Watch this video and see for yourself.

I believe he knows more about the origin of this virus. Do you know that the petition to arrest him have gained more than 2 million signatories

A huge crowd in America has trooped out to call for the arrest of billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, while many others are fighting the battle online.
Rumours and reports have had it since the coronavirus became a pandemic that the business mogul has a hidden agenda behind the virus.
Now that the businessman has come up with a vaccine for the virus, speculations are that the man truly has a mission. Bill Gates had revealed a new RNA vaccine, together with a list of things that must be done to enable life return to normal again. He noted that he is particularly excited about pursuing the RNA vaccine, with a code needed to produce viral fragments on its own.
This, however, did not go down well with Americans as they query the rights and patent with which he operated to reveal a vaccine, given that he is not a doctor, scientist or microbiologist.

Some of the tweets and calls for his arrest
“Conspiracy theories become TRUTH when hidden agendas are exposed. The world sees the truth now: #BillGates has a patent for a microchip/vaccine & he’s investing in factories to make them. You can’t debate or theorize the truth so let’s all stop gaslighting ourselves & each other“, a tweep wrote.

“Many of us who actually care deeply about human health are not interested in your toxic money-making injectable poisons! We know you will “get it done” though, and we will continue to see people get sick and die from all your hard work #BillGates“, another wrote.

Meanwhile, one of Bill Gates’ tweet in which he noted that the next move for his foundation is to make money from vaccines is dug up, to further counter him. see videos below:

This is the real World's strongest man. No be Mark Henry wey anybody dey win for WWE

The star who played 'The Mountain' on '"Game of Thrones" Hafthor Bjornsson set a new deadlift world record on Saturday after lifting 1,104 pounds.
The attempt was broadcast live on ESPN, leading into a block of "The Ocho" programming that highlights lesser-known sports.
Bjornsson, who played The Mountain on the hit HBO show, has plenty of experience as a strongman, having won the title of World's Strongest Man in 2018 after taking silver the previous two years.
With his lift on Saturday, Bjornsson broke the previous world record of 1,102 lbs, set by fellow strongman Eddie Hall in 2016.
You can watch Bjornsson's record-setting deadlift below:

A Prophet of a New generation Church was caught red handed with charms hidden in his room. Some Church members who suspected him led Policemen to his residence and arrested him. Different kinds of fetish items and cloths were removed from his closet. The Pastor (name withheld) lamented that he was a spiritual man and not a ritualist.

Well written. I read till the end. I haven't visited the cave but you didn't say what happened or what you saw after you came through the tunnel.
You suddenly started talking about the river.

More so, the title of your post is misleading. I thought you had a fight with the bats which you were told are harmless.

The picture of the entrance of the cave you posted you gave credit to another photographer. I thought you took pictures of it yourself. Anyways I like the way you write. Weldone.

Ogbunike Cave is known as Ogba.
History: The cave has no none founder, but local legend has it that it was a home for the early man who lived there in the prehistoric era. The cave serves as a fortress for the people of Ogbunike during wars. In the early days when people are fighting and one party runs to the cave, he is saved by the cave. But if such a person is evil, he will be lost forever.
Special features: A woman on her period can't enter the cave mouth. No footwears allowed in the cave. It is always raining inside the cave. Water drops nonstop!. They are more than 200 steps leading to the mouth of the cave. The cave is guarded and preserved by a group of people who serve the Ogba deity. Inside the cave are carvings that look exactly like a parlour. They are so many bats inside, although they're not harmful. If led by a good guard, tourists can burst out in an entire part of the forest from the mouth of the cave. A good tour should last for about 20 minutes. If an evil person enters there such a person will be lost. The cave has a very nice stream that people swim. It is believed that the water dropping from the cave is spiritual hence people collect them, Etc
Significant events: The then Senate President Late Chiba Okadigbo, a son of the town once took the Senate Mace to the Cave and hid it, during his impeachment saga. Although this was wrong. No one deared to come close. On the cave is written names of colonialists and prominent tourists who visited the place.
The state government is planning to build a hotel near the cave. A nice place generally.
See the full video of the place:

I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR TOTALLY FAKE FAIRY TALES!

Bro please stop ruining someone's post by insinuating what you don't know. I don't know the OP. But I know that place. And from those pictures am 100% they were there. And as for the stories, they all all true. In fact He didn't even tell the story well, cos he didn't mention the doctrines and the structures inside the cave. (A carving in a big space inside the cave that resembles a big parlour) referred to as Obi Ogba. You should enter motor to verify his stories instead of tarnishing his work!

Wow ooh..... eeeyaaaa.

Welcome brother.

I left Anambra 2014..

Likewise. I'm not at home too. But I visit every year.

OBALORLA:
We walked forward, still protesting the locked gates when a white minivan parked right beside us. The driver probably knew we were destined for Awka. Since he guessed right, there wasn’t any need to overthink the decision so we hopped in.



We walked forward, still protesting the locked gates when a white minivan parked right beside us. The driver probably knew we were destined for Awka. Since he guessed right, there wasn’t any need to overthink the decision so we hopped in.


Just before the bus picked us

N200 was what each of us paid for the fare to Ogbunike junction where we met about a dozen bike riders waiting impatiently to take passengers to Ogunike cave. Looking at how the bikers almost knocked themselves over to win our love, I could tell that the day probably had been plagued with low patronage.

We finally chose 2 of them without any tangible criteria aside from the fact that they were at the front. Both bikers kicked their bikes to life at the same time like synchronized swimmers. We negotiated the fare while on transit. Each rider would get N150 each.


[img]The chosen 2[/img]


On transit

The road which led to Obunike was as smoother than the highway to hell. It reminded me about the one I traveled on while going to Arinta waterfall. It was more fun as both bikes overtook themselves intermittently. I pretended I wasn’t enjoying the drama but it was damn fun until we got off the rated road to a very large body of forest. “This can’t be Ogbunike.” I tried convincing myself while our rider halted the bike somewhere around the middle of the forest.


Highway to grace

The only attributes which gave Obunike away as a tourist destination was the signpost bearing the rules and regulations about the cave. Nothing more. But I kept my cool as our rider motioned us to follow him towards the centre of an open field within the forest.

The Management Team
A small tree with broad branches served as the office. Tree men sat on a bench under the tree with straight faces as we walked closer to them. One of them with a big belly looked permanently angry. One would think he’s witnessed too many awful things in his lifetime. Clasped in his right hand was a bottle of big stout which had a fly perching on the tip but he cared less. The two other guys were the tour guides.


Behind Bukola are the members of the management team at Ogbunike

We greeted and asked how much it’d cost to access the Ogbunike and they made us understand it is N1,000 each. I was down on cash, so I asked if we could pay with our card but the look they gave me was enough proof that my question was like a taboo. “Una no fit use card o.” said the guy on the left. “Unless una go transfer the money make I go help una collect am for the bank for town. But una go add N500 for bike”.

We didn’t have a choice, so I transferred N10, 500 so he can withdraw N10,000, take N5,000 for our entrance fee and give me a balance of N5,000 so I can go home with some cash.

He zoomed off as soon as his phone beeped.

The guy by the right motioned us to follow him and we obeyed, lined up in a straight file behind him as thought we were going to be used for rituals. He looked fearless as he tore through the narrow pathway into the denser part of the forest. Things began getting scary as the forest enveloped us, making it impossible to see the clouds.


The final pose before entering the forest


I’ve not seen so many people inside a forest before. Most of them were students who have come for an excursion. They all were looking really excited about the entire experience and they posed in their respective underwear as they thronged towards the nearby river. It was a sight to behold as we descended the concrete staircase that led downwards the cave’s entrance.


Staircase leading downwards towards the Ogbunike cave


Venturing Inside Ogbunike Cave
Now we are going to enter the cave now. But you need to off your shoe there.” our guide said, pointing to a spot where we saw at least 100 pairs of footwears scattered on the swampy floor. We chose a free section of the spot to store our shoes to avoid hurting stories. I mean, I can’t imagine returning all the way to Anambra barefooted. Even a Celestial Christian won’t do such.


The belly of Ogbunike

In no time, our guide moved close to the huge body of rock while I kept wondering where the cave’s entrance was. “Or are we going into the rock through an invincible door?” I was still looking for an answer when he pointed to a very tiny hole by the base of the rock.

“Na here we go enter.” I was astounded but I did well in masking my shock. ‘This hole is just big enough to accommodate a crouching average-sized human!” I protested to myself. And before I could drop my placard, our guide had disappeared into the rock through the hole. Bukola, Victoria, and Tope followed him as though it was planned. I was left alone with John Bosco. And as I tried asking if he was scared too, he switched on his phone’s torchlight, crouched and disappeared after them without looking at me.

Ha!


Imagine how small the hole looks like. Source: diusorodiakosa.com

It was one of the scariest things I’ve done since I started traveling. For the lack of a better context, it was a 5 minute-journey that looked like 5 days filled with more horrific moments that I saw in Igodo– a 1999 Nollywood flick produced by Pedro Obaseki. My adrenaline rushed faster than it did when I went alone to Kwara in search of Owu falls. My legs were shaky and sweaty (even though the cave was f*cking cold), the water from the stream flowed rapidly as it swept the sand beneath my feet in the process. Making the entire thing more creepy. I had lost my voice already as I took an average of 1 step every 5 seconds.

Then, when I thought I’ve seen it all, they started rushing towards us in droves. I’ve never come close to so many bats and flying insects at once in my entire life. I didn’t know where I gathered the strength to scream that much. But that didn’t stop the entire colony of bats from having their way. Our guide made us understand that the bats were harmless, but that did little in calming any of us.

Halfway into the tunnel, we contemplated turning back but we were already made to understand that it is a taboo to go out through the same entrance we came in through. So we continued advancing towards the exit.

Here’s a video recording of us in the tunnel.

The joy we wore on exiting through the other opening of the cave was indescribable. Our guide probably was enjoying our company because he immediately suggested we go see the flowing River Nkissa which was adjacent to the cave.

We had a swell time enjoying the views around the river. We also took turns in savouring the coolness of the stream by dipping our legs into it as we posed at different corners to take pictures.


Posing for pictures by River Nkissa

Left for me, we could stay by this river all day if there was nothing like day and night but the cloud was already shutting her eyes, and that meant only one thing. We needed to return to our base in Onitsha.

There is no doubt that the Ogbunike caves have major tourist potential. I tried imagining how amazing the atmosphere would look like if the tunnels were carefully designed with colourful lighting, and the environment redesigned to have mini cabins where tourists and travelers can sleep over to catch a night view of this beautiful beast in the heart of Anambra.

Home came calling
Now tired and severely hungry, we retraced our steps back up to the land of the living. John Bosco pulled a call across to our bikers to come to pick us up, and in what took like 10 minutes, they arrived and we sat in the same order as we did earlier and rode on the same smooth road back to te express.

We bade John goodbye while we watched him join a waiting bus at the other side of the express road to Awka, shortly before a blue bus heading towards Onitsha stopped in front of us.

Back at Onitsha, the first thing we did was went in search of an ATM to fetch more money that we could spend on food and travel the next day.

Our plan On getting to our hotel was to eat our food and play some games but as the saying goes, Man can only propose. No one had any more energy for those games as we returned to our various rooms and slept carelessly till the next morning.

Now, would I want to go into that tunnel at Ogbunike cave again? Hell No!

But would I advise you to try it out? Absolutely yes! The adventure is crazy!

God bless you for this. The narrative is encapsulating. I can't believe I read till the end. Not minding I go there every year. The pictures too are excellent. Daalu!

Bro in as much its my village and I really like the publicity Ogba cave is getting but that picture there is not Ogba cave at all. No mind bloggers! Its a wonderful place but that picture is misleading.

I live and work in enugu, and I have a question for gburu gburu.
Please that case you are talking about, is it a male or female?
Does it have a name or something?

Show us the picture of the case.

Don't mind those thieves. I live in Enugu too. Where is the damn isolation center. They said its parklane now its colliery

I'm certain its in some states while some States are just padding figures and deceiving themselves. Nonetheless everyone has to be careful. In as much as we have ineptitude leaders, we have to be careful to protect ourselves!.

Na so. Lies everywhere. That was how The state government said a couple contacted it. Only to discharge them 1 month later. My friend who is an investigative journalist went to the so called Isolation center and saw nobody. Intact he was almost beaten by security men for not 'minding his business' LoL talk of FOI Act

In as much as you are trying to make a point

The truth is you are not making sense

Bros why insult the guy nah!.

Na.... he is rather the father of Okwudili Umenyiora, the founder of Dilly Motors and Eric manny entertainment(The record label that brought Runtown to limelight)

What are you saying! He is the father both
Dili Umenyiora and OSI Umenyiora, ex-giants player. Abeg stop saying what you don't know

I sincerely feel there is a conscious effort being made by some propagandist to sway Nigerian's negative opinion about this Man to positive. The way nice revelations about him are flying around, makes me wonder if he was a saint. Anyways Nigerian know that all of them are selfish class interests. They have no love for the masses. If you like post about him sitting with God. He was part of our problem and God will disgrace them all.

There is serious fire blazing away people's shops and goods right now at Dugbe
Alawo, Ibadan. As of the time of reporting the State fire Service has yet to arrive.

In a video chat with Pastor Poju yesterday, Pastor Sam Adeyemi debunked the Conspiracy theory that 5G is killing people in the world and not the virus. As well as beliefs that the virus is a side effect of 5G technology. This assertion comes just a day after Popular Nigerian Pastors and politicians had linked the 5G to covid 19.
Pastor Sam, based on research found out that the pandemic in 1918 also affected Nigeria, and churches, mosques and markets were also closed same way we have it now and it has nothing to do with the anti-christ. He believed the virus is a natural pandemic that has nothing to do with the Antichrist or 5G. He however admonished Nigerians to seek for a better life after the pandemic instead of sowing the seed of fear. Below is the link to the short clip

I am tired of you guys, you must always defend US no matter how. Is cost more important than life at this crucial time.

I tire oo..the way they're defending USA here. Folks are not saints either. By the way the face masks or surgical mask as our American defenders call it to add class to it than the one Aba is producing, is funny. Most of these face masks are produced in China by 3M 'an American owned company. The masks are still produced by Cheap Chinese labour. So basically its still Chinese. The import duty says from China OK. Although I feel importing from China doesn't mean America is so weak. Their demand outweigh the production unit and currently China stands at 1.3 million units per day

Studyinchina200:
Thought they said all the masks from China are fake.

Don't mind people. Virtually everyone now has a conspiracy theory. Including people that don't even know the meaning of virus, Super power or world order.

thesmallgod:

In fact I think they should consider making bra because those materials they are using is bra material

The kind of hatred on this nairaland is so appalling. Imagine a State in your country is producing face masks, but you want to belittle it because its not from your region. Nawaoo..What happened to 'Oh! Kudos! Well done. SMH...

See some reaction from fans

There has been an ongoing row between Self acclaimed African giant Burna Boy and fellow Aristokrat record mate Ceeza milli on social media. The 'Ye' crooner who threatened Ceeza also said he wished coronavirus on the star. There had been rumors that the song 'on the low' was actually done by both Burna and Ceeza. Burna denied this report and also threatened Ceeza. This didn't go down well with the fans who believed the star was both wrong and arrogant. He has threatened to leave Twitter for good.

Fine Virus

I wanted to call u Savage, but I have to laugh first..

Coronavirus is a global pandemic that has really shaken the entire world including the so called advanced Nations like UK, US, Italy, China, Germany, Japan, etc. So far a combined total of more than 9000 people have died from the pandemic. A disease that started off as a Chinese epidemic has now touched almost every part of the world. In Italy more than 768 people died in just one day.
The Nigerian Case:
The FG has announced that as of 22/03 the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 has reached 25. While some people like me who have lost trust in our Government doubt that figure. (I believe it may be more) . Many people in Nigeria believe there's no corona in Nigeria yet. They posit that these cases are made up by govt officials to write-off billions of Naira. This is buttressed by lack of releasing of names of affected persons by the FG. Up till now no body knows the name of the Italian index case that has been discharged. Even Obasanjo challenged the FG to name one person and allow him to see them...Which way Nigeria? What do you think?

In terms of raw talent? Did you watch Ronaldo delima play at his peak

Davash222:
Both are exceptional.

R9 has every trophy in his collections except UCL
R7 is yet to add World Cup to his collections.

Winning balon d’or 5 times is not what every footballer can achieve, so , I’ll choose R7 over R9.

Both Ronaldos played in different era. R9 played from the mid 90s to his sad decline in the mid 2000s. While Cr7 has maintained his form since his introduction to the game in 2002. Much thanks to his relatively injury free career. So a Twitter war is going on between fans. Who do you think was the greatest.
