November 2002 was supposed to be a massive moment for Nigeria.
The country had just returned to democracy three years earlier, and hosting the Miss World pageant in Abuja was a chance to show the world a modern, confident nation. High-profile guests, international models, and global media crews filled the capital.
But beneath the glamour lay a very delicate political reality. Nigeria was deeply fractured along religious and regional lines.
About four years ago, a friend of mine overseas reached out with a lead. He had a contact in Nigeria with a massive stock of electronics (TVs, refrigerators, ACs, blenders, you name it). He wanted us to partner up. Since I had the platform, I decided to run with it.
This post is misplaced. Judges rule on evidence, not emotions. If the prosecution fails to prove its case, the judge can’t invent guilt.

@eldivine@clintonnzedimma@Mrpossidez ...or that good exists because we have the ability to choose it over evil, doesn't entirely make sense to me.
And if Adam and Eve didn't know right from wrong until after they ate the fruit, how could they have knowingly disobeyed God?
@eldivine@clintonnzedimma@Mrpossidez In the beginning, Adam and Eve had no free will, or at least, no knowledge of good and evil, until they ate from the tree. If we go by this understanding, they had no true agency in their actions, yet God still loved them.
So, the idea that God's love necessitates free will,
@SikiP31 @KatorTarkaa Given the choice between meeting your maker or eternity in a facility, you'd likely choose the latter. Still, no system is perfect, some rot more than others.

Nigerians use to work from Monday to Saturday, rest on Sunday.
Now they work all day without regards to Sunday....
Yet the church refuses to hold the government accountable..
