Why do some of you enjoy posting fake stories? This video has been on the internet for some time and it happened somewhere in India or some place like that. I've had that video in my phone for weeks now. Mitchew! |

Catholics don't worship Mary. We only celebrate her. She's the Mother of God and Spouse of the Holy Spirit. I don't know why some people are so jealous of her that you can't do anything without mentioning her. What is your business if we Catholics decided to honour and pay so much reverence to her. You say you love God, but you dislike His mother. How is that going to help you? I've discovered that most of you that dare open your filthy mouths against this woman so full of grace do so out of ignorance of real Catholic teachings and practices and sometimes pure jealousy or hatred. But is that really necessary? You should ask yourselves, because we Catholics don't give a bloody damn. If God had wanted your mother to be His Mother, he would have made her so. So this whole argument is senseless; you're not a Catholic so why bother? Is it paining you? I'm proud to be a Catholic, me and my family. So I shall continue to say, "Hail Mary, Mother Of God pray for us sinners". If you don't like it you can come and jump on my back. Ave Maria! 1 Like |

The same people who paid for his hatchet job also decided it's time to silence him. This is called "tying up all the loose ends". I expect more such "accidents" and "suicides" to follow in the coming days before inauguration on May 29th. 1 Like |

Are you sure it was not the Policemen that gave him that injury? I've been around enough in this country not to believe anything the police tells you--they're pathological liars. Anyway sha, until further notice... |

I love the beauty of our African culture, especially where it comes to marriage, family relationships and communal affairs. These are what set us apart from other parts of the world especially Europe and America where true communal and family living are almost non-existent. However I came across the following list for a marriage ceremony recently which set me thinking about the propriety or otherwise of some of these time-old cultures. I mean, are some things not actually overdone or long overdue for reform, overhaul or outright replacement? I know for a fact there are some communities in Nigeria today especially in Igboland where a lot of marriageable women abound but the men cannot stretch forth their hands because of some retrogressive customs attached to marriage in those parts. I have discussed with some of the affected peoples and I found to my dismay that even the ladies are not perturbed about these customs, with most insisting that it must be done to them according to/as it was done to their mates. My questions now are: Aside the financial aspects which may be insignificant to many of us as far as a serious suitor is concerned, but are all these really necessary? Must one buy packets of cigarette (which according to the Federal Ministry of Health is very dangerous to health), snuff, kaikai, cloths for mother and siblings, walking stick for father etc just because he wants to marry one of your daughters? How does this help the girl’s family or, even more importantly, the development of the marriage institution in such a society? Contributions are welcome because I really want to understand this phenomenon. Below is a sample of a specimen marriage list for a community in Delta State which’s name I would not mention. Where in the world is marriage list as long as this? Gentlemen please share your experiences….

bunmioguns:Two wrongs does not and cannot make a right. That some people steal doesn't mean that any criminal caught should be allowed to go scot free because he is not the only one. You that is crying more than the berieved, why don't you advise your hero (Tambuwal) or whatever his name is to do the honourable thing by resigning from the speakership having left the vehicle that brought him to that position in the first place. How can you be in the minority (APC) and expect to lord it over the majority (PDP). No political party worthy of its name should be expected to accept such gratuitous insult. Abeg make we hear word bo! All your criticisms smack of prejudice and double standard to me. We all know how OBJ would have dealt with this kind of disloyalty during his heydays. Arrant nonsense! |

tochukwuifeduba:It is not true. The filling stations went on solidarity strike after the State Government closed down some filling stations who were shortcoming customers by doctoring their meters. In fact, the strike was more or less induced by fear of impending similar clampdown on all the thieving filling station operators in the state courtesy of the new government no-nonsense policy. I'm just coming from Onitsha now and there is a rumour that some stations have resumed selling to the public. 2 Likes 1 Share |

FastShipping: In a country of the blinds, a person with one eye is the king. I may disagree with Prof. Jega policy of allocating more polling units to the North but in a sane world, Andy Uba would have been sent to prison for stealing of public funds, money laundering, displaying of college degree of non-existing schools and subversion of democratic election when he stole mandate that belong to Peter Obi. And this same Andy Uba is the Chairman of Senate Committee that oversees INEC?? SMH!! Ignorance is a disease and you are really an epidemic case. Besides what has Andy Uba as a person has to do with the performance a senate oversight funtion in a democratic setting? Or Do you think Andy wrote that letter on its own? Moronin ebola case! 1 Like |
