About religious hooligans, touts and bullies

Deborah the student who was stoned and burnt to death by islamic religious touts and hooligans over a voice note she left complaining about the course WhatsApp group being hijacked for religious posts and sermons, makes us think this kind of thing only happens with Islamic bullies.

As we have islamic bullies on WhatsApp groups, we also have christian ones.

The same kind of behavior commonly happens on alumni and community organisation groups turned into Christian preaching and sermon platforms where every other member is a pastor. And any member who dares raise an issue about these, while you are not stoned with physical stones or burnt with actual fire, the verbal & passive responses you get make you feel like you are being stoned and burnt!!!

As a matter of fact, this is a main reason why I limit my participation on my various WhatsApp groups includingmy University year group. The preaching on some of them are relentless! You can’t even call the people you spent 4 years in University with by their names anymore. It has to be Sister this, broda that🙄
By the time you visit in the morning, even as early as 7am, you are met with a barrage of sermons, preachings and religious videos! Some posted several times by different people!!!

And you don’t want to know how many times I see the daily morning tea🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

The only days you are spared is if it is someone’s birthday on the platform. And then of course, more prayers.

Now, in case anyone is planning a deliverance session for me, please be informed: I am a fully committed Christian, a believing and praying woman. I listen to sermons and teaching by various credible men/women of God that I chose on YouTube, Amazon podcasts and various websites – in my own time. My 1st genre music of choice is Gospel and should I choose to attend a church, I know where I can find plenty!!!!

There is a time and place for everything. A university alumni or course/professional/community group should not be religious. Let people set up separate fellowship groups for these purposes but remove religion from general groups.

I once heard an adult university graduate pompously declare, after reading a professional group for engineers’s rules about religious, political, pornographic & viral posts: “If I (pounding his chest) cannot post religious posts on this platform, it is not the place for me”

REALLY?!

Religious bullying or passive religious aggression is not just an islamic thing. It cuts across the other religion as well!

May the soul of Deborah rest in peace and I pray that everyone complicit in the evil act is brought swiftly to justice.

STOP THE BAD BOYS, PLEASE!



More often than not, we see bad people go about wrecking, milking, damaging and pillaging nations, leaving the citizens battered and impoverished … because the good ones stand by, do nothing or blame the victims for being too stupid to allow themselves to be so recklessly used. Or for voting them into power to lead them.

Or they join the bad ones in perpetuating their evil enterprise after seeing them become enriched and powerful from their wicked actions and atrocities…

And this also applies in men-women relationships.

Some good men will see ladies that they like. But they are too timid, too afraid and too cowardly to approach them. They sit, or stand by and look, while these ladies are constantly charmed, gaslighted and then left battered, bruised and broken by fast and loose bad boys.

I must hasten to add that not all bad boys treat their woman badly. Some of them go all the way with their women and treat them like Queens.

But the lily-livered “good boys” will remain in their shadows spouting out hypocritical holier-than-thou criticisms against the women and blame them for the actions of their tormentors:

“Serves her right for “running after him”
“Serves her right for not looking at someone like me”
“Women only love money”

.. and such nonsense 🙄

The fact is women will go with someone who approaches, charms and convinces them – even if they are being lied to or deceived. (there is usually no way if telling until it is too late) Many decent women will never chase a man no matter how attracted they are to him. Although the clever ones will give “come and get me” signals and hints, hoping the object of their desire is intelligent enough to decode.

The uninitiated men will look at a woman’s outward appearance such as sense of style, elegance and sophistication, beauty and class and quickly rule themselves out of her league.

Such men will take one look at a woman and make up her mind for her:

“She is too beautiful. Many men will like her”
“She is too successful, she won’t have time for me”
“She frightens men off”

All these without even once approaching and getting to know her, knowing how she feels or even telling her his intentions!!!

And while they are pitifully crying into their glass of Origin, making pathetic excuses on her behalf, awon Yoruba or Igbo d*m*ns have swooped and landed!!!

The Tonto Dikeh case is a very good example. There will most certainly be many seemingly “lower classed” men who will be great for the lady. But insecurity, timidity and inferiority complex will make them stand back and watch the likes of kpopokripohofo destroy and break her.

And of course, many of her critics are – you get it: MEN!

My dear lovely brothers. I beg you. Quit being timid and insecure already.
Man up. Develop your balls. Grow real hairs on your chest and eat proper meat as real men.

Be bold and brave. And nice.

And rescue your sisters out of the hands of Bad Boys!

The world of women wait in hopeful anticipation of the revelation of Good Men.

When last did you hear an American President or a British Prime Minister visit Nigeria for medical tourism?Although the IG of Police took the unprecedented step to disband the SARS just a few days after the protests commenced, no word has been heard from President Buhari to address the protests or to reassure the nation.

There has however been speculation that the army could be called upon to quell the protests. A move that many have warned could be counterproductive and backfire by pushing the protests to take on a violent and bloody turn.

Horror As University Students Are Given Used COVID Test Swabs

A number” of undergraduates were given used swabs, with some packaging reportedly containing names and addresses.

The University of Birmingham’s student newspaper, Redbrick, reported that “25 used test kits were handed to students”.

The mistake was made in Tiverton Road, Selly Oak, by staff taking part in Birmingham City Council’s drop and collect service yesterday Tuesday, October 13.

 

Dr Justin Varney, director of public health, today apologised for the mistake, saying a review of the process would take place.

He said it appeared only one of the tests had been opened, and none used, after staff reacted within minutes of realising the mistake.

He said a full forensic approach to investigating the incident was under way and students involved would be offered support.

But reports from students as seen on BBC news claim some students might have reused the contaminated swabs.

Speaking to BBC WM this morning, Wednesday, Dr Varney said: “The used kits look different from the unused kits so it is not clear why that was not picked up.

“The teams are trained and go through a training programme. Kits that have been used go into despatch boxes so it’s not clear what happened. Like any other organisation, when a mistake is made we look into it and that is what we are doing.

“We are going back to double check with the houses involved. Our job now is to be really clear with individual houses and approach this forensically.

“Our duty of care is to be absolutely crystal clear to check if anyone has been put at risk, have we got the right support for them, and make sure this kind of mistake cannot happen again and tighten the procedures further.

“Eleven thousand kits have been delivered through drop and collect to date, without problems.

“I am really sorry this mistake has happened. It is not what we wanted.

“It was picked up within minutes and acted on. We have seen that one set was opened, but the majority had not even opened the kit. We think the risk is very limited.”

“I hope people are not put off. This is an isolated error”.
