Evangelism shouldn't be done anyhow. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ shouldn't be used as a cover to abduct a minor. It's better you don't do anything than you bring mockery to that name.
For those who cannot read it all or who read it but couldn't understand, this is the summary.
Aisha is a 16 year old girl staying with her mother in Borno. The first accused person who is the only person convicted by the court and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment is her neighbour in Borno named Lami, a Christian. Now the gist is that Aisha had earlier been convinced from her school at the age of 13 by a teacher to leave her house and travel to Jos where she was converted to Christianity and spent a year. She eventually returned home to her mother after feeling homesick. Her mother then handed her over to Lami to help get her back to school and enroll her in WAEC. The same Lami also convinced Aisha who is now 16 to return to Jos and continue her Christian training without the knowledge of her mother. Lami enabled and sponsored Aisha to return to Jos while pretending not to know of her whereabouts when her mother was desperately searching for her. As a matter of fact, Lami was purchasing the household properties of Aisha's mother which she sold to enable her raise money to search for her daughter. Once again, Aisha felt homesick and returned to Borno to meet her mother after a year. Aisha then opened up to her mother about everything including the things Lami has been buying for her to enable her stay in Jos. Aisha's mother confronted Lami about it and it caused an uproar. The court found only Lami guilty of abducting Aisha and forcing her to convert to Christianity. She was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment amongst others.
I came online yesterday to find many tags on my handle asking for my opinion on this case. My first reaction was to read from a reliable not a sensational source or get a copy of the charge sheet and the judgement. I have now read the judgment and agreed with my brother @Chinaluemmanuel to share our thoughts on it, against what’s already in public circulation.
"karika whaaat??"
Bro, this tweet doesn't even make any sense, you know the full story, yet you decided to tweet this to suit your own narrative. 🙄
This is someone car business that was set on fire by a wicked and heartless individual.
Imagine the owner coming online and seeing his business being used as karikachorr, how do you think such person will feel.
If you call yourself a creative, then think like one!! 🙄
You can do better dude! 🙄 Have some fvcking empathy, if Elon take down your account today, how would you feel.
The first thing that will touch you outside Nigeria is the constant electricity. In Italy, they were expecting a heavy storm in my location and I received a weather alert on my phone. I didn't have their local number yet but I still got the message. The storm came and all shops and outlets were closed yet the electricity supply didn't blink, not even street lights. I almost wept.
Please someone should inform me immediately @realbitcoinlord Blord starts giving out solar generators for free. It should be anytime soon. VDM cannot match that energy.

From The 61 year old man you see in this photo just lost his life in a ghastly car accident along Ibeju—Eleko expressway, Lagos.
His name is Mr. Salisu Oluwaferanmi Dusonye.
An abroad based retired College Cricket coach.
He was with 3 of his retiree friends who came back to Nigeria from the UK to inspect the almost 2 hectares of land they collectively bought from a real estate company in Ibeju-Lekki with their entire life savings.
2 hectares of land they were to later discover were committed land acquired by the Lagos state government and STRICTLY reserved for public infrastructure, airports, industrial facilities and future public schemes.
A popular Lekki 'big girl' realtor with big nyash and figure 8 convinced these senior citizens to spend almost £72,000 to acquire these lands in 2023 promising them that, due to its proximity to the Dangote refinery, Lekki free trade zone and Ibeju-Lekki sea port, the value of the land would quadruple in 3 years or less.
They decided to travel back home together some days ago with a surveyor and a team of lawyers to see their 'retirement investment'.
Before today, they had sent the land documents and coordinates via their legal attorney to ministry of lands in Alausa for search and confirmation.
Full feedback didn't return until this morning while all 4 elders were at the site of their property which they had already started fencing.
They were informed that:
No private individual could build or use any land around that area because it was committed acquisition land!!!!
No private individual could resell that land because it belonged to the government!!!
In summary, they had just thrown away £72,000 and the additional N600,000 they were currently spending on labour and cement to fence off the area was also pointless!!!
One of the elderly friends, a Mr. Godwin Adegwu instantly had a heart attack on the site there and slipped unconscious.
Mr. Dusonye who was the spokesperson of the friends and the primary purchaser of the land started calling the 'Lekki big girl' realtor who marketed and sold the land to him and his friends 3 years ago.
She initially pretended like she didn't know the man, and when he mentioned the name of her company and described the nature of their transaction, spelling out her full name, she switched to telling the man to send an email to the company, that she doesn't own the company— and when the man kept insisting that she had tricked him into making a bad investment because of her commission and selfish interest, do you know what this lady said?
She asked the man why he didn't do proper investigation before buying the land, and pointed that real estate was a 50/50 gamble and a matter of luck and did he expect that she came to Lagos to count bridges?
She summed up her defense with stating that her job was advertising lands and connecting interested buyers to the company— and NOT giving guarantees on the land being bought. That did he expect her not to sell land and collect her commission?
With this she ended the call and blocked the man.
The poor old man had the call on loudspeaker so his other elderly friends, the surveyors and their respective solicitors and attorneys could hear all she said.
In the process of scrambling into their cars to carry their unconscious colleague to a hospital, both cars were involved in an accident and all the 4 friends and one of their lawyers died at the spot.
Mr. Salisu's 34 year old son who was behind the wheel in the car with the fatalities was mangled beyond recognition.
All 5 occupants of the Honda Sedan car the other lawyers and surveyors rode survived with few scratches, 1 or 2 broken collar bones and sprained wrists.
It was Barrister Sharafa who called me just now breathing heavily:
'Ivan Eagle Lawson.... I know you have a platform. Please warn all the faithful fans because I don't think the government is interested in helping matters. Especially those based in Lagos and Abuja!

Since I was born, this is the first time I'm seeing a minister interpreting this scripture rightly. The rest have monetize the gospel according to their own desires. Even non-ministers monetize this verse according to how their pastors teach it.
This is the gospel.

As a man, if you want God to expose how much of a hypocrite you are, get married.
You know that scene where Isaiah comes before God and says; "Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, you will understand.
You will realise how much of an inconsistent person you are, and how they are only managing you, and no matter the facade you put out in public, you are only a shadow of what you think you are.
You will fall on your knees and ask God for help.

The devil is not afraid of our minds or our knowledge; he has more of them. He is not even afraid of our virtues, for he has more of them as well. He only lacks one virtue, and its absence kills him while saving us. What is this virtue?
Once, having achieved something, I proudly went to my spiritual elder.
Seeing me, he immediately realized that I had slipped. Before I could say a word, he said:
'Why are we so proud, son? What are we proud of? That we fast and eat little? The devil fasts more than us,he never eats. That we don't sleep at night or that we don't sleep enough? The devil is more awake than us, he never sleeps. What do we abstain from? What do we preserve our virginity for? The devil is more virginal than us: even if he wanted to commit adultery, he wouldn't be able to, as he doesn't have a body.'
I could not believe my ears. No matter what virtues we possess, the devil also possesses them. No matter what virtues we acquire, we will never match the virtues the devil had when he was an archangel, and yet, he lost all of them.
Why? Because he lacked one virtue. We must strive to acquire this virtue in order to be saved. The devil overpowers us not only with sins; he overpowers us with virtues even more than with sins. We can see sins and avoid them, but we actively fight to acquire virtues.
As one saint said: 'Want to fast? The devil helps you. Want to give alms? The devil helps you. Want to build temples? The devil helps you. Why? Because he knows that if we achieve all this, we may become proud and destroy everything.'
We must possess the virtue that he does not have: to be humble!"
— Saint Nikon

🇮🇹 ITALY IS FED UP: Crowds have taken over a highway near Naples, waving Italian flags as protests over soaring fuel prices and living costs spread across southern Italy.
Truckers, farmers, fishermen, and families are joining forces as the economic fallout gets ugly: EMPTY supermarket shelves, disrupted food deliveries, and millions in losses for producers.
Meloni's government has approved emergency fuel relief, and some blockades are being lifted.
But the frustration on Italy's streets keeps spreading.

Deeney: "Bayern have not been the same, what about the Bundesliga? They've been terrible."
Bayern's four home results so far this season before playing Arsenal.
Bundesliga:
Stuttgart: 5-1
Union Berlin: 7-0
Leipzig: 6-1
UCL
Bodo/Glimt: 5-0
Played 4, won 4, scored 23, conceded 2.
Honestly, this is the analysis people who pay money for subscriptions get?
There is no other team than Arsenal that could go away to Bayern, play really well, have a great game and come away with a deserved 2-2 draw and still get criticised.
Just complete and utter waffle of the highest order.
"It was just a performance that left me confused... I thought it was a game Arsenal should win and that's a credit to Arsenal."
@T_Deeney believes Arsenal could have given more to win the game 🗣️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bayern have been excellent at home this season in the Bundesliga. Here are their results before the game against Arsenal.
Bayern at home in the Bundesliga:
