Take Ruga, give us proper and better social amenities – Nigerians “drag” Buhari

Image
As opposition against the proposal by the federal government to introduce Ruga settlement for cattle herders in every part of Nigeria, continue to mount high, Nigerians on social media have created a campaign. The government had claimed that the aim for proposing Ruga settlement was to try and eliminate the crises between herders and farmers which has led to the death of many, especially in recent times. Nigerians on social media are asking the government to do away with Ruga settlements and give Nigerians the benefit of democracy like good roads, a better healthcare system, technological advancement and more. What some Nigerians are saying RUGA is an initiative of Abba Kyari and the Miyetti Allah, its got nothing to do with the FG. Any governor that chooses to participate in RUGA is doing so for personal gains. #SayNoToRuGA — TracyChels (@ChelsTracy) June 30, 2019 This RUGA thing is one of the most stupid decisions the FG will ever make. How can you take lands belonging to

‘Marriages are not supposed to be performed in chruches’ – Reno Omokri

Image
A former aide to Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has penned a lengthy piece on marriage and the way it was intended to be. According to Reno, marriages these days have been changed from what God planned it to be. In his words; A lot has changed about marriage ever since God invented it while man was in the Garden of Eden. God made marriage to be a simple thing, but ever since man fell from grace and left Eden, we have been adding our own rules to make what is the most simple institution one of complexity. If you study marriage from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, it bears no resemblance to what is being passed off as marriage in this day and age. There have been priests of God, from Melchizedek, to Jesus, our High Priest. None of them officiated weddings. But is that the case today? I have studied The Bible from cover to cover, multiple times and in various translations, and I have never once come across a marriage that was performed in a synagogue, temple or chu

What happened to science books and easiest ways to understand mathematics and history and politics and how to manage money, how to build an entrepreneurial spirit, how to build a business from scratch, self confidence for pre teens, how to take care of the elderly, how to treat people, why bullying is bad, etc. Fairytales are why a female student will stop school to follow a Male student/musician around like a headless chicken…its why they think they are not enough and need a Male figure whether as spiritual father or glucose guardian.
