With 1 million cases, England to enter national lockdown next week - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys Boris Johnson British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says a lockdown will be put in place in England next week as part of efforts to stop a surge in coronavirus cases, as the country reached the 1 million mark for total confirmed infections on Saturday. Non-essential shops, as well as leisure and entertainment venues, will be closed from Thursday through December 2, as will pubs, bars and restaurants, which can only offer takeaway and delivery services. Schools and other educational institutes will remain open, however. “I’m afraid from Thursday the basic message is the same: Stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives,” said Johnson, warning that without the measures, the death rate could grow even higher. “Christmas is going to be different this year, perhaps very different, but it’s my sincere hope and belief that by taking tough action, we can allow families across the country to be together,” Johnson said, citing similar measures by France, German

The Storm is Here - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys The members of the Nigerian government should be careful not to take strong-arm measures against these protesters, otherwise, they will have to answer to God. By Femi Aribisala Roughly two months ago, God gave me a prophecy that I then preached during a Sunday Service at Healing Wings, Chapel of Faith, Lagos. I entitled it: “A Storm is Coming.” I said on that occasion: “There is a storm coming. Therefore, prepare for battle. But those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High will not be affected.” The prophecy came to me in a vision. In the vision, I was talking to a friend of mine, Benzak Uzuegbu. Suddenly, I became like one of the sons of Issachar who had “understanding of the times.” (2 Chronicles 12:32). I looked up and noticed a change in the clouds. Although it was daytime, the sky suddenly became dark and I said to Benzak: “Look, a storm is coming.” Then the scene changed. I was no longer with Benzak but with the Head of State in a stra

(Photo by Ludovic Marin / AFP) French President Emmanuel Macron sought to calm flaring tensions with Muslims around the world on Saturday, telling an Arab TV channel he understood that caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed could be shocking while lashing out at “lies” that the French state was behind them.

In Nigeria, what is fake news? - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys By Tonnie Iredia Many terms that appear simplistic to the ordinary person may in truth be quite difficult to define. In 1972, for example, two American scholars, Frank Dance and Carl Larson discovered from an extensive survey, 126 definitions for the term ‘communication’ – a term many would have thought they could define with ease. In Nigeria, fake news as a concept has assumed same dimension, with many having different meanings for the concept. It is however not an unusual occurrence because it is so across cultures. The English word, ‘Yes’ which appears simple is differently interpreted among several English speaking people. While some take it to mean a definite positive answer to an issue, others understand it to mean that the issue is likely or worthy of consideration. Thus, many Nigerians who have become quite concerned about fake news, a recent prevalent phenomenon in our clime, need to review their anxiety about it as well as their understanding

You cannot hide from God - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys Jonah 1:77, Mathhew 12:40-41, Act 9:1-9 IN my gospel research, I often put Jonah the prophet of God who tried to destroy God’s command when God sent him on an errand to Nineveh the capital of the great empire of Assyria, Israel deadly enemies, even as people of today pay deadly attention to God’s word and commandments Compare to southerners Kaduna and Bornu as if you were sent there to tell Boko Haram, herdsmen, and kidnappers to stop their evil act while you are in the knowledge these people are deadly, destructive and are people who refused blindly to fear God and stop shedding blood of innocent children of God.

The anatomy of EndSars protests as an incomplete revolution (1)   - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys By Douglas Anele Supposing an alien from another planet or solar system visits the earth with capacity to rank the various races of human beings according to their contributions to civilisation particularly in the last six hundred years or so, that alien would perhaps place the black race at the lowest grade. And because Nigeria contains the greatest concentration of black people in the world (one in every four black persons is a Nigerian according to one estimate), a race that worked with European and Arab enslavers to sell their own people like commodities and shamelessly adopted the bizarre religions of their oppressors, it is probably not out of place to assume that that may be the reason the country has been retrogressing for decades. The history of denigrating black people is long and heart-wrenching. Not only do the scriptures of Abrahamic religions contain passages that dehumanise black people, philosophers as enlightened as John Locke, David Hu
