I hear that South Sudan president Kirr wanted TB Joshua to read a prophetic statement pretending that it is from God.

Politics / South Africa's Economy Regains It's 1st Position As Africas NO.1 by Miles02: 3:55pm On Aug 11, 2016
South Africa's economy remains in poor shape
South Africa has regained the title of Africa's largest economy, two years after Nigeria rebased its economy to claim the spot, according to IMF data.
A recalculation using current exchange rates put South Africa on top because the rand has strengthened against the dollar.
Nigeria's currency has fallen sharply since a peg to the dollar was dropped.
But BBC Africa Business Report editor Matthew Davies says both economies could be on the brink of recession.
Africa Live: More on this and other stories
Nigeria rebased its economy in 2014 to include previously uncounted industries like telecoms, information technology, music, online sales, airlines, and film production.
Most countries do rebasing, updating the measure of the size of the economy, at least every three years or so, but Nigeria had not updated the components in its GDP base year since 1990.

Nigeria is almost entirely dependent on its oil exports
On the basis of these numbers, there's not a lot between the two. South Africa's economy is worth around $301bn (£232bn) and Nigeria comes in at $296bn.
The exercise in calculating the numbers using last year's IMF figures and this year's currency exchange numbers, technically puts South Africa back on top.
But look behind the league table and the light-hearted jostling about who has the largest economy in Africa and things, economically speaking, are a little bleaker.
Both economies contracted in the first quarter. Another contraction and they'll both be in recession.
Nigeria is almost entirely dependent on its oil exports. And as the price of oil slumps so does the flow of petrodollars coming into the country's coffers. South Africa's economy is more diverse.
Indeed, after Nigeria knocked it off the top spot two years ago, we started describing it as "Africa's most industrialised economy", rather than Africa second-largest economy.
But economic growth is unlikely to make it above 1% in South Africa this year and many, including the country's Reserve Bank, are forecasting it at zero.
Unemployment remains stubbornly high and a credit rating review is looming at the end of the year.
If the whole "largest economy in Africa" competition was a horse race, the two leading contenders would be virtually neck and neck.
But they wouldn't be galloping, they'd be trotting at best. And looking increasingly tired and in need of sustenance.
Romance / Re: My Fiancee Confessed She's HIV+ After I Proposed To Her. Please, Help by Miles02: 12:02am On Jun 20, 2016
Reading all these comments and I am wondering, does the Department of Health teaches about HIV/ AIDS in Nigeria? Y'all are sooo ignorant and to even advisebthe poster to run for his life is the exact same reason her fiancee kept it to herself!

HIV/AIDS is manageable and not a death sentence but the problem is magnifying and stigmatising it! Ask any cancer patient what sickness would they would chose if they were given a chance to choose between HIV and Cancer..

Politics / Fuel Woes In An Oil Producing Country, Nigeria! by Miles02: 10:55am On Apr 25, 2016
Fuel scarcity remains the biggest problem in Nigeria. A man has gone naked just to show how irate he us with the current fuel scarcity!

Politics / President Buhari's Scottish Backpipes by Miles02: 5:43am On Mar 02, 2016
Buhari returned home in Abuja today, expectedly to a red carpet reception by some aides, ministers and governors.

there was more: a guard of honour that one usually sees welcoming visiting leaders or on ceremonial occasions such as Independence Day. President Buhari reviewed the guard.

Then surprise of all surprises: dozens of bagpipers,men and women, dressed remarkably like Scots. The difference was that they wore plaid shorts, not skirts and they were black faces, not whites.

The Buhari bagpipers were wearing berets and boots, suggesting they were from a command in the military or police. Their apparels were unmistakenly Scot.

They must be an innovation in presidential reception, in cash strapped Nigeria. But an innovation clearly insensitive to the financial state of the nation.Aa

Sorry bride but my eyes went straight to those thorn in the eye mattresses. I mean, if there was no budget for new ones, why they didn't cover them then? This is very embarrassing and actually speaks volumes about the personal hygiene of the organisers!!
