IMPORTANT TOILET ETIQUETTE TO KEEP IN MIND

1. Flush After Use
- Always flush the toilet after you’re done to maintain cleanliness.

2. Wash Your Hands
- Always wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet.

3. Keep the Seat Clean
- If you make a mess, clean it up. Use toilet paper to wipe the seat if necessary.

4. Limit Time
- Be mindful of the time you spend in the restroom, especially in shared facilities.

5. Use Air Freshener
- If available, use an air freshener to neutralize odours after use.

6. Respect Privacy
- Knock before entering a bathroom stall and respect others’ privacy.

7. Dispose of Waste Properly
- Use the toilet for its intended purpose only. Dispose of feminine products or other waste in designated bins.

8. Be Quiet
- Keep noise to a minimum to respect others using the restroom.

9. Avoid Phone Use
- Try to avoid using your phone or engaging in conversations while in the restroom.

10. Report Issues
- If you notice any maintenance issues (like a clogged toilet), report them to the appropriate person.

11.Don’t Leave Pee on the Floor or Toilet
Men stereotypically pee on the floor, and women on a toilet seat. Whether you’re in a gender-neutral bathroom or not, it’s polite to make sure your pee stays inside the bowl! If for some reason you splash some on the seat or the floor, be a good citizen and clean up after yourself! And if you’ve heard that it’s more sanitary to sit hovering above the seat – you don’t need to.

It could very well make a big mess on the seat and floor, cause your leg cramps, and doesn’t help protect you very much – if at all – from germs.

12 Don’t Knock on a Locked Door
It’s locked. Uhm so… what exactly is it that you’re unclear about? You’re just being annoying – and FYI you’re not gonna make ‘em pee any faster.

Did you get value?

Are Catholic Priests Really Biblical?

One of the most common questions Catholics are asked is, “Are priests really in the Bible?” For many non-Catholics, the idea of a man set apart to offer sacrifices, forgive sins, and lead the faithful seems foreign or even man-made. But when we turn to Scripture and early Christian tradition, we find that the role of the Catholic priesthood is deeply rooted in the Bible and in the life of the early Church.

Let’s begin with the Old Testament. God established a priesthood through Aaron and the Levites (see Exodus 28–29). Their role was clear: to offer sacrifices, intercede for the people, and teach the law. This priesthood, while temporary and imperfect, foreshadowed the eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ, the true High Priest (Hebrews 4:14).

When Jesus came, He didn’t abolish the priesthood—He fulfilled it. At the Last Supper, He instituted the Eucharist and told His apostles, “Do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19). This wasn’t a symbolic act—it was a sacrificial command. The Greek word for “do” (poiein) in that context is priestly language. Christ was entrusting His apostles with the power to make present His once-for-all sacrifice.

After the Resurrection, Jesus breathed on the apostles and said, “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven” (John 20:23). He was giving them divine authority to act in His name—something that continued in the early Church. In Acts, we see the apostles laying hands on new leaders (Acts 6:6, 13:3), and James instructing believers to call the “elders” (presbyters) of the Church to pray and anoint the sick (James 5:14).

That word—presbyteros—is where we get the English word “priest.” These ordained men were spiritual fathers who offered the Eucharist, administered sacraments, and shepherded the faithful. From the earliest Christian writings outside the Bible—like those of St. Ignatius of Antioch (around A.D. 107)—we see a Church structured with bishops, priests, and deacons, just as the Catholic Church has today.

Far from being a later invention, the priesthood flows directly from the ministry of Christ and the mission of the apostles. Catholic priests do not replace Jesus—they act in persona Christi, in the person of Christ, especially in the sacraments.

So yes, the Catholic priesthood is biblical, historical, and spiritual—a living continuation of Christ’s ministry on earth.

The Secrets of Solomon: A Witch’s Handbook from the Venetian Inquisition

This 2018 edition (edited and translated by Joseph H. Peterson) presents The Secrets of Solomon, a grimoire said to have been confiscated by the Venetian Inquisition in 1636. Peterson describes it as a collection of “secret techniques for dealing with the more dangerous spirits or daemons,” compiled from trial records and published in English for the first time.

In 16th–18th century Venice the Holy Office (Inquisizione di Stato) prosecuted heresy, superstition and witchcraft under the joint authority of the Venetian Republic and the Church. The Inquisition was active in cases of “prohibited books, superstition, and witchcraft”. In Venice’s cosmopolitan society, magical beliefs persisted even under ecclesiastical scrutiny.

The book’s central theme is infernal magic. It opens with three chief spirits (daemons) and their many servants, a hierarchy explicitly described as “chthonic and possibly infernal” beings rather than the airy spirits of classical Solomonic lore. In this sense it is seen as a precursor to the later Grimorium Verum, providing “variants on the spirit lists and procedures” that appear there.

Another major section treats the spirits of the seven celestial spheres and the four elements. These high spirits are served by mysterious entities called “Amalthai,” and elaborate rituals are given for invoking each planetary angel and elemental daemon. Peterson notes that this part includes “a long series of instructions for approaching the greater spirits through ritual, along with a set of talismans to be employed toward various ends”.

Unlike many grimoires attributed to Solomon, this one comes from real Inquisition trial documents. It offers a rare snapshot of what actual 17th-century Venetian occult practitioners recorded as their magical knowledge.

*Mmesoma Ejikeme Has Been Vindicated*

.. the results to push a political agenda.

So, after JAMB released the 2023 UTME results in May.

Mmesoma Ejikeme went viral with her score of 362/400, ranking her the highest scoring candidate in the country.

Mmesoma aged 19, was one of the best students at Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi Anambra.

It was a missionary school handed back to its owners by Governor Peter Obi back in 2009.

It was going well, until May 10th when Innoson Motors gave her a scholarship of ₦3M, after verifying the results from JAMB website.

Then, the story went viral across SW, Northern Nigeria and caught the attention of JAMB.

JAMB saw it, involved the DSS, investigated and said the result is fake. That she scored 249 not 362, she manipulated their systems to increase the score by 113.

Meanwhile the result showed scored 98%, 89%, 94%, and 81% in English Language, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, respectively.

This was what she printed on JAMB site and this was what SMS checker sent to her.
Back.. soo Innoson too said they confirmed it, printed and checked. It was 362.

Mmesoma reacted in very viral video. She said, she literally doesn’t even have the kind of resources needed to hack JAMB and manipulate a result.

Unless the issue was from JAMB, because several students complained about glitches, like this year 2025.

According to Mmesoma, when they scanned the QR code on the result, it brought Omotola Afolabi with score 138.

Later they checked again, the Omotola Afolabi was showing 338, confirming that there was a system error.

Mmesoma added that, instead of JAMB inviting the DSS to intimidate, pressure and declare her a fraud, they should have reviewed the system.

— Jamb reacted saying, people are telling her what to say to beat the system.
Her dad added that, JAMB is intimidating his daughter and traumatizing her, after they’ve probably changed the result, because they printed it from JAMB, different times.

JAMB then took it up a notch.

JAMB further added that, the total result was infact fake.

That the date of birth etc, all belong to another person. That her own date of birth is March 02 2004, but what’s showing on her profile is April 02 2004.

According to JAMB, she changed her result and her date of birth, and it was done by her group, which they will soon reveal. (They never did.)

On July 4th, they Banned her for 3yrs. Stating that, her claims of their system having any glitch were false, that she is lying to get public sympathy.

Nigerians, including Charly boy, Gaius Chibueze called for an external investigation on JAMB, they spoke about Igbo marginalization. JAMB didn’t respond.

After much pressure, Mmesoma finally admitted to faking her result. That her real result is 249. She said this in a video. And later reiterated it at the House of Reps, in front of a panel.

When her dad saw the videos of his daughter admitting to the score and being a cheat.He broke down and said, that’s not his daughter speaking, someone is telling her what to say.

He insisted that, JAMB knows what they are doing. Because how will a kid of 19, have resources enough to hack JAMB websites to change results. He said he won’t sue, that God will handle it.

Later, Anambra government sponsored a three months Pyschotherapy for Mmesoma. She received offers of finance and scholarships across the country and abroad.

Businessman, Gaius Chibueze offered to take care of her education up to Masters in any school of her choice in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Innoson Motors withdrew their scholarship. Nkechinyere Umeh who scored 360, got the scholarships from the state.

Now in 2025, more students complained of the same Glitch Mmesoma mentioned in 2023.

Alex Onyia persisted and indeed, after investigations, they found out it was a human error that caused the glitch that only affected all 5 South East states, Lagos and Oyo.

Nigerians are now saying, Mmesoma Ejikeme has been vindicated and JAMB should apologize.

Oloyede was also the JAMB Registrar in 2023.
