Nigeria and wahala, Arab people wey bring Islam come naija no overdo like Illiterate Nigerians. Secondly, British people wey bring Christianity come naija no overdo as Nigerians de do.

Some muslims kills innocent people in the name of religion, some Christian leaders use religion to enrich their lives in the expense of their followers.
When will you all learn that God does not need you to kill for him nor does he need your money as offerings before he blesses you with wealth.  

Some of you think insulting each other on here makes u more sin-free than others?
The devil is as clever as you all, the end time is knocking and he is trying to win more souls as he can and you people are falling into his trap.  The truth is no imam or pastor knows God more than any of you, its all depend on ur love for God.

The bible gave you 10 commandments to guide our ways but how many of you have ever followed at least 5 out of them?  The quran as I have read, said no compulsion in religion and also gave you hadith which i have read some but how many of you muslims follows that?

British people are not religious but not quick to anger like we Nigerians, they hardly insult one another.

These Boko Haram are weapons of the Devil and all we need to do is pray for our one true God to defeat the devil and cleans our evil thoughts.  
3  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / 16 Women, Six Children Died in Easter Vigil Tragedy on: 10-04-2012 08:30 PM
They were waiting, symbolically, for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But they got what they did not bargain for – rainstorm, thunder and whirlwind – which brought the church structure on their heads.

By the time the natural disaster was over, 22 persons – including a two-year-old boy – lay dead. Critically injured were 35 other victims.

For worshipers at St. Robert’s Catholic Church, Adamgbe, Vandeakya Local Goverment Area of Benue State, Saturday night was a night of sorrow and pain.

They were keeping a vigil awaiting the resurrection but a natural disaster that had never before been witnessed in the area happened.

Among the dead were 16 women and six children who had thronged the church to usher in the Easter festivities.

Over 1000 worshippers had gathered at 9pm for the commencement of the open air service within the premises of the church without a premonition of what awaited them.

A witness said the service had commenced but midway into the worship, there was a heavy rain storm and wind which forced the Parish Priest, Rev. Father Cosmos Jooli, to relocate the service indoors into the 49-year-old church building.

But as the service was going on, a strong rainstorm seized the building, pulling down the roof and walls on the worshippers which prompted a stampede and death of many who could have survived the tragedy.

According to the witness, the wailing and cry of the victims attracted the attention of villagers who stormed the church premises to rescue survivors.

He also disclosed that a family lost three members to the disaster.

Recounting their ordeal, three survivors, Philip Ierkwagh, Mathias Tyagber and Joseph Wuhe said the death toll was high among women and children.

They said the women and children, who died, were the first to go into the church when the storm started and had the opportunity to sit near the altar which was the first point that collapsed.

The men had sought shelter at a nearby primary school.
According to Tyagber, "many of the women died because they were occupying the front roll and many of them had their children lying on mats. Many of the male members of the church took refuge in a nearby primary school while the storm raged.”

"When the building came crashing down, many of the children and women were instantly crushed.

"The death toll would have been higher but because most of those who were sitting outside moved in quickly to rescue most of the survivors,” he said.

I pray the Nigerian government follows the story of the JUNDULLAH terrorist group in Iran closely so as not to make the same mistake with Boko Haram.

If we continue taking one direction with the believe that Al-qaeda is funding these people, then we are in for it. Bro Jo should facilitate a holistic approach to tackling this terror on my beloved people. According to report and Rigi, a member of Jundula's confession before his execution, which the ABC and press TV investigated and found out to be truth was that Jundullah was sponsored financially and used against the Iranian Government and the civilians by the American CIA.

ILLEGAL immigrants, mostly Nigerians, are using a ‘loophole’ to bypass a government crackdown on sham marriages and pay cash to wed European women with the right to live in Britain, the  Leeds Crown Court heard on Tuesday.

they were genuine couples in love and agreeing to allow the ‘bogus’ marriages to take place.
But a registrar, suspicious about the number of Nigerian men marrying women from Slovakia and the Czech Republic tipped off police, who uncovered a major conspiracy.

After making covert recordings, they made a series of arrests on the day of a double wedding in July, taking a groom into custody at a motorway service station on the way to the ceremony and arresting two ‘brides’ dressed in wedding gowns outside a church.

On Tuesday, Judge Peter Collier, QC, told the seven defendants who admitted offences at Leeds Crown Court they had ‘carried out an assault on controls of immigration in this country.’

The scam involved African immigrants paying up to £15,000 each to ‘fixers’ to arrange for them to marry a woman from Europe so they could stay in the country legally.

They evaded the stringent checks associated with civil ceremonies by applying to marry in church because procedures to prove the authenticity of couples are less rigorous.

Information about the ‘legal loophole’ was even available on the Home Office website, the court was told.

Three years ago, the rules applying to foreign nationals wanting to marry in the United Kingdom (UK) were changed because the number of sham marriages was spiralling.

They were forced to apply to the Home Office for a ‘certificate of marriage approval’ before they could wed and that involved a high-level of proof of identity that was difficult to cheat.

The prosecutor, Tom Klouda, said the group involved in the scam avoided this bureaucratic hurdle and having their banns read publicly in church by applying to Church of England officials for a common marriage licence.

They produced forged utility bills or bank statements as well as fake identity cards and passports and perjured themselves by swearing affidavits to show they had been attending the parish for 15 days and were therefore qualified to marry in church.

But a church warden in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, became suspicious of several couples and told the diocese church registrar Julian Gill, who was responsible for granting the licences to marry.
The court heard that one Nigerian paid £4,000 for his bogus marriage.

The ‘facilitator’ and key figure in the conspiracy was Adeola Orobiyi, 28, a Nigerian who claimed that his parents had African royalty.

Orobiyi had a ‘sham’ marriage himself before beginning to set up similar ceremonies for others, the court heard.

Police found ‘a wealth’ of documentary evidence in his car linking him to one marriage that had already taken place and around six proposed weddings.

Orobiyi admitted that he was involved in arranging the weddings, but denied being the prime organiser.
He was jailed for three-and-a-half years for conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration and possession of false passport.

Drug addict Dennis Baiger, 26, was a Czech national who was paid for his partner to be a bogus bride. He was jailed for four-and-a-half years for conspiracy and supplying heroin.

Another Nigerian,  Peter Abbey, 27, who paid for a marriage, was jailed for 12 months for having a false passport and perjury.

Richard Okunade, 35, also paid for a fake marriage but did not have the courage to go through with the application and was replaced by his cousin Adesola Adewole, 29.

They received 12-month jail terms. While the brides Lucia Koncekova, 25, and Veronika Horvathove, 21, who were arrested before the weddings, escaped jail because they both have two young children.
Lucia and Veronika  were given 12-month suspended prison sentences and ordered to do 250 hours of unpaid work.

Outside court officers from the UK Border Agency said the ‘loophole’ making it easier for bogus church marriages to go ahead still existed, although work was being done to improve checks and tackle the problem.

Police said similar scams could be taking place elsewhere. One officer said: “This could be a very serious problem going on right across the country, we just don’t know how many of these sham marriages there are.”
