Lol they're so Clueless I swear. Alot of Israelis are actually atheists.

Oh and they hate Christianity.

No, Christians don't believe Isreal is a Christian state. They believe the hold a special place in God's heart and plans because of his promise to Abraham.

Yes, they have hated Christianity right from Bible days. According to the Bible, Isreal will remain In this fallen state until the dispensation of the Gentiles is over .


Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.


Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.


Read Romans 9,10 and 11 for details.

Ladyhippolyta88:
They believe Israel is a Christian nation

No, that's not true. Christian believe that Israel has a special place in the heart and plan of God because of his promise to Abraham. Bible explicitly say so.


Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.


Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

FreeStuffsNG:
They should face Supreme Court that pronounced that the true owners of the land were cheated and the land be returned to them.

In my opinion, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with Malami and they will be playing to the gallery by attempting to politicize it. Thank God the true owners of the land who were cheated for several years took the path of legal redress instead of taking the laws into their own hands. The SC judgement is a serious indictment on the state and it will be nice if the judgement winners petition EFCC to investigate and prosecute those Lagos State officials who originally sold the land after dispossessing the true owners .

This issue can't be closed with just returning the land, it's an opportunity to see the faces of those who put LASG in this disgraceful position where the Governor is engaging in the criminality of attempting to block the enforcement of a SC judgement and even the LASG AG resorted to twisting the SC judgement and outrightly threatening the judgement winners.
With the kind of advice the Attorney General gave the Governor, the judgement winners should report the AG to NJC and NBA disciplinary committee.

Until the judgement winners petition EFCC, those standing against the execution of the judgement won't realise the severity of the injustice committed against private citizens who had to go hungry for years just to get back their property.

But the Supreme court never said the state should neccessarily return the land back to the judgement creditors. The supreme Court gave an option of being given replacement lands of their choice in other parts of Lagos. It is this option that the Lagos State government is trying to explore that is why Lagos State see it as a case of reallocation.

So, hastily going to demolish the buildings on the land may not be the best resolution.

Modified:
Please EFCC has nothing to do with this. A recent Supreme court ruling has clearly stated that EFCC only has no business with cases that do not involve moving money illegally out of Nigeria.

AneemA:
Hi guys, I am new here but I have viewed this forum from time to time (not often, but the vibe I get from ppl here is something I am interested to get some for my own case).

Please dont use pidgin coz I dont speak it.

So my case is this.

I have married with a Nigerian guy in my country. I am a South-east Asian.

Long story short, this guy who is my husband now has not given me much ever since we got married. He is one of those yahooboys. He said he hasn't got any other options of getting money except doing this thing. This 'work' I actually stated I don't like him doing from time to time but well, I am not too firm about that. He isn't making much at all from doing it, in fact all these almost 4 yrs we're together, he just made only 3 or 4 sum of money from it. I honestly can count with fingers how many he provided with that money , meaning buy things or pay bills but the majority of the time I am the one who is providing, food, bills, and even money he spent to do some juju to work on his "spiritual blockages" (he said one of his extended family is the one who spiritually chains him to make it here). I got married religiously with him not bringing any single dime, no ring, no legal papers made, no nothing but I persevered, thinking I should try to understand his hardship. Our family made him convert to my religion then after a couple of yrs, he went back to Christianity (he is an Igbo). The actual reason we got married was because I got pregnant and it's a taboo for a woman to carry a child without a husband. My family disapproved abortion so there we were with the marriage. But after we got married, I got miscarriage. So there is no baby. Then a while later he asked me to have another baby, at first I didn't like the idea as his financial condition isn't well enough to provide a family, he cannot provide me well enough as a wife, then how would he be able to have more as responsibility but he argued that by grace of god this baby will be a blessing and argued that people don't have to have millions of dollars to have baby. So here we are our baby has grown a year now.
His finance isn't improving whatsoever. And I am the sole provider of the house.
He sometimes also took my money without telling, oblivious to the fact that I am struggling to make ends meet.

I have grown TIRED.

Finance problem aside, I have also become aware that his ego is too much to handle. I think he is quite arrogant. He is also wary of me nagging and snapping from time to time. I know my words can be hurtful and disrespectful, yes.

But we are TIRED of each other.

Words of getting separated were thrown around from my side quite a few times during our marriage but we never actually execute that.

I am tired and I don't think I can handle this hardship no more. If he thinks I am not the right person for him as I tend to let him down with my nagging and snaps, so be it, I acknowledge it myself. I am not a good fit. We are not a good fit for each other.

He always told me the problem is that I don't trust him thats why I never listen. I am sorry, but truth to be told, he hasn't shown enough proof that he has been serious for me or fight for me (dared I need to mentioned, ever since we were still dating, he never came to my house nor asked me out on a date).
How can he feel so entitled of my trust where not much he can put on the table to garner the trust?
Such an entitled nigerian man!

Bruv! Look at the facts and just stop lying to my face!

I even thought he has been "workin on me" like he tries as yahooboys.

I am frustrated and stuck.

Now we have a child together and separation isn't looking well for his growth but I swear to God this 2022 I can't tolerate none of his shit no more!

Help me with some perspectives here. I don't need validation of how hurtful I am right now coz my feelings are VALID.
I just need some perspectives to get my head straight.
Ask me questions if you need to in case I missed mentioned some aspects of my case.

What is his highest level of education?

Pls stop the nagging and snapping. It may be difficult, but please stop it. You are actually making things worse for both of you by doing so.

backbencher:
I doubt you understand the scope of the problem.

Google for PWC's paper on the problem. It's called solving the liquidity problems in the power sector.

Also they can't close shop. If they did , we would have zero power. Unless you want goverment to run power the bad way it did before

All goverment has to do is to let discos and gencos charge the price they want.

Goverment let GSM charge the prices they wanted and they made profits that enabled them to build up the telecoms network that enables me to write this from home. A network that did not exist 20 years ago

You want good service, pay for it in full.

You cannot buy a Ferrari at the price of a bicycle. Which is what you and the general want.

Modified

Because the discos are running at a loss, they use the money for meters for other stuff.

I can bet that even if they are allowed to charge what they want there will still be no power supply.

Before one makes profit he must first invest. Let them invest to the extent that is possible to make power available then they will have a basis for asking for whatever they want . Only a fool will wish to pay more for what he knows he is unlikely to get.

It's is criminal of them to divert money paid for meter. It is a great crime.

And, no, if they bow out we will not have zero power. Others who have what it takes will take over from them.

backbencher:
Because of the people like the general who don't pay at all

And because the rules governing power companies don't allow them to set cost reflective tarrifs ( because Nigerians are poor, you know) meaning they run at a loss and have to be bailed out by goverment subsidies, which don't adequately cover losses in the first place due to rising costs of production

This combines to make them run at a loss,meaning

1. Not enough cash for meters

2. More pressure on people.like you and me who do pay for power.

Before you answer, can you run a business where 40% of your customers don't pay an where goverment forces you to sell at a loss, and pays you a subsidy that does not adequately cover for the loss? Can you? No. So why make the power sector run at a loss, and expect them to give you power with which money?

By the bolded you mean they Rob Petter to pay Paul? Why would people be motivated to pay for power they never consumed. Whether power was supplies for a month or not they still bring bill for the month.

As for the other explanation you gave above, it doesn't hold any water. No sane person continues running a business that he doesn't make profit from. If it were true that they aren't making any profit, they would have closed shop ever since.

If they really think it's unprofitable, they should bow.

Modified:
Do you think collecting money for meter from people and not giving them meter is in itself criminal. If it's not available why not tell them it is not available and they should come back at some other time. Isn't it criminal to embezzle the money paid for meter as your post abve pointed out?

backbencher:
To all those supporting the general in the assault on the disco staff, just know that people like the general who do not pay their power bills are a big part of the reason why you don't have regular power supply.

Because of people like the general who do not pay their bills, Discos cannot meet up with their financial needs and cannot pay the gencos or pay for much needed improvements in power supply.

If you are clapping for the general, you are.clapping for your right to remain in darkness.

Many of you would complain on this site if one of your debtors beat you up for trying to collect your debt from him or her or them.

Many of you businesspeople won't also tolerate 40% of your customers not paying for the service you render them or the stuff you sell them. This is what the power sector has to tolerate year in, year out.

So why can't they supply pre-paid meter to those who have paid for them?

Why do they bring bills for electricity not-cusumed?

EmekaStanley:
I will get in touch with you Bro

Don't remove the beards, it will help appeal to a lot of northerners and Muslims. It will give them the impression that you are an ardent Muslim.

kmcutez:
Go read up parthenogenesis. You telling me there is no virgin birth aka Jesus birth?

So apart from Jesus who else has been born through that process? Please quote a reputable academic source.

Bible Jesus was conceived by the holy spirit through a spiritual process and not by a biological process.

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

If the sperm originated from Mary, then the child would not be the son of God, but the son of Mary. A perternity test will prove that Mary and not Good is his Father

kmcutez:
Update your biology.

If you don't agree, the least you can do is to share a link prom a reputable academic publication to educate me.

AdedoyinO:
I hope your know that the Genesis 3:16 that you quoted is actually a curse. A fallout of the sin of Adam and Eve and that was not God's original plan for them?

Moreso, all the scriptures you have quoted are majorly related to marriage and the home and so it applies only to a married man or woman in the confines of marriage, not in the workplace or society at large.

What about the unmarried men, whose head are they? Who should an unmarried woman submit to as her head?

When this issue of equal rights for women is being discussed, we are quick to lock it down on marriage relationship and the home mean while, what it seeks to address is more and equal civic rights for women.

It's only recently that Saudi Arabia allowed her women to start driving or even go to the stadium to watch games...how do these correlate to relationship between a man and his wife.
Many years ago, even in western countries women were not allowed to vote not to talk of being voted for but the situation is very different today.

Except you are going to give me a scripture that says clearly that the female gender is of less value than the male and so they cannot have equal rights.

1 Corinthians 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 1 Corinthians 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.


1 Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.


There it is. You now have it.

dealslip:
Is your class captain or class governor better than you because he simply holds that position. Does he have more right than you? Are you unequal despite being in the same class? Is it a responsibility or a right?

Once you have to defer to anyone, you and that person are not equal.

HedwigesMaduro:
That is relationship. It's like by law all citizens are equal. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be subservient to your boss in the office, does it?

It could mean that. Law is blind to morals. It does consider morality in any shape. Just wait until layers stat quoting it and saying no one is above the law.

kmcutez:
If you also pass an electric current through the woman’s egg, the egg will start the process of cell division which eventually leads to a baby. No sperm needed. Can’t happen with the man’s sperm.

The above is false, gamete cells have 23 chromosomes as opposed to 46 chromosomes that somatic cells have. If a woman egg divide it will not form a human but a moster because the two gametes cell contribute 23 chromosomes each to form a human's zygote.

kmcutez:
Tell me what you think the the woman’s eggs are. Your doctrine is so far off. Do you know the woman is the one that passes all of her mitochondrial DNA to her children, both male and female. [b]The woman can make sperm from her to fertilize the egg, hence why you hear of virgin or immaculate conceptio[/b]n.

This is not what biology teaches. Inhertance is done during fusion of the male and female gamate to fom the zygote.

The bolded above is not true. It can not and has never happened. If you don't agree then quote a reputable academic source.

Leverage2021:
if you had a brain this is the bill that is out to generally rectify all these discrimination across Nigeria

The people from the said region senators are not complaining but rather those demented ones from desert region

This is a gender equality bill and NOT a people equality bill.

Leverage2021:
People like you need help

The bill is not saying it want to change the morphological structure of men and women to become same

The bill is talking of equal rights and non discrimination against women "and all people"

Mrs Olujimi said the bill will “allow for the prohibition of all forms of discrimination against women and provide for the equality of all persons,” including people of determination in the society.

Is Islam for discrimination against certain people?

Why are the northern senators upset

Equity will handle the above, not necessarily equality. Come on, the bill is trying to create in Nigeria the kind of equality that exist in US which strip men of their balls.

Leverage2021:
The Bible places men and women as equal with both complimenting each other

1 Corinthians 7.4 (KJV)

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

God spoke to the first man and woman Adam and Eve equally, gave them equal punishment, gave them equal assignment to multiply in the bible

No, you are wrong.

Genesis 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.


The wonan is the man's helper or assistant not his equal.


Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.


You rule over your surbodinate.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

People reverence their superior.


1 Corinthians 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.


The scripture you quoted is talking about sex. It saying that neither the man nor the wonan has the right to deny the other of sex. Look at it in the Amplified version.

1 Corinthians 7:4-5
[4]For the wife does not have [exclusive] authority and control over her own body, but the husband [has his rights]; likewise also the husband does not have [exclusive] authority and control over his body, but the wife [has her rights].
[5]Do not refuse and deprive and defraud each other [of your due marital rights], except perhaps by mutual consent for a time, so that you may devote yourselves unhindered to prayer. But afterwards resume marital relations, lest Satan tempt you [to sin] through your lack of restraint of sexual desire. [Exod. 19:15.]


Modified:
See also 1 Cor. 11: 3,5 below.

1 Corinthians 11:3,5
[3]But I want you to know and realize that Christ is the Head of every man, the head of a woman is her husband, and the Head of Christ is God.
[5]And any woman who [publicly] prays or prophesies (teaches, refutes, reproves, admonishes, or comforts) when she is bareheaded dishonors her head (her husband); it is the same as [if her head were] shaved.

I can't find the meaning of Osiwin eniyan in all Yoruba dictionary. Do you mean Asiwin.Please translate. Thank you.

You can say Osinwin or Asinwin, they mean the same thing. It just a dialectal inflection.

Bluezy13:
In a quick attempt to render invectives you ended up accusing me of writing "Atheism is belief in unbelief"; whereas I actually wrote "Atheism is a belief in unbelieve".
Your inability to decifer the difference between "belief" and "believe" subjected you to the "amazing confusion" as you rightly put it.
Perhaps you should consult your 8 years old son..., Don't you think

Mister, in that sentence your grammar is incorrect.His interpretation is correct. You cannot belief in... You can only believe in. You are using a noun like a verb. Indeed beautiful confusion.

You are taking undue advantage of her families poverty. There is a scriptural saying"Do unto others as you want others to do to you". Won't you feel bellittled and disrespected if a man ask you to allow you daughter live with him for eight months. No father who has any sense of dignity will allow that.

No matter what people say, it is completely wrong for a woman you have not married to live with you. Only men with low or no morals do that.

Make sure you marry her first before she starts living with you. That you are feeling insecure and afraid that another man will snatch her from you if she continues to live in her father's house does not justify your asking g her to come and start living with you.

If she really loves you she will wait for you to come marry her in eight months time and turn down other men's proposals.

If you truly love and value her you will not manipulate her and her family, because they are poor, to allow her to come stay with you.

Considering how much you have done for her, I see no reason why her family will be unreasonable with their marriage list. If however they turn out unreasonable , stop spending on her until you can afford to meet their request.

Whatever you do, don't make her come and stay with you until you are able to marry her. It's improper.

LilMissFavvy:
We all know he can get married if he wishes, but he doesn't want to, because if he tries it, people will condemn him. Remember what Bible says about the only grounds on which one can divorce, and that one should REMAIN SINGLE if the cause of divorce was adultery. Whatever he did in the past is bygone, the good thing is that he is obeying biblical laws and staying single.

Bible never said the above. Christian's are not allowed under any circumstance to divorce their wives or husbands, not even because of adultery.Put explicitly, you are not allowed to divorce your spouse because you caught her cheating on you. It is until death part you. However, a man is allowed to divorce his wife if he finds out that she has committed fornication and not adultery.(See the words of Jesus below).

Matthew 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Since fornication is a sin you commit before getting married, it means men are permitted to divorce their wives if the wife is found not to be a virgin. Of course such a man is expected to remarry.The implication is that if a man declares a marriage null and void because of lack of virginity, God himself considers it null and void.Virginity or chastity is important to God.

While God gives Christians no ground for divorce, he allows people whose marriage are not working to be separated from each other and remain single time death or become reconciled to their spouse.(See the words of Paul below).

1 Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 1 Corinthians 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

That having been said, if a born again Christian is married to an unbeliever, and the unbeliever decides to divorce him or her. That Christian is allowed to remarry.While a born again Christian is not allowed to divorce his unbelieving wife under any condition, if the unbelieving wife decides to divorce him, he is allowed to remarry.

1 Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

The implication of the above is that a Christian should not have married a non Christian in the first place. A Christian marrying an unbeliever constitute an unequal yoke. Such an unequal yoke can be created if both persons married as unbelievers then one of the couple became born again.

Except for the above two stated conditions for divorce stated above, all divorces are null and void before God. As far as God is concerned, that man or woman you divorce is still your legal wife, you are, in his own eye, committing adultery with the new wife or husband you re-married each time you sleep with him or her.(See the words of Jesus below).

Mark 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Mark 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Luke 16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

The above is the biblical fact about divorce for Christian's under the new testament.

Sometimes, though not too common, the child might turn out completely white. It depends on the kind of heredity that occured. U read a story of an interracial couple who gave birth to non identical twins. One was completely black like an African while the other was completely white like a European. The picture of both girls were shown in the story. People did not believe they are sisti until they showed their birth certificate.

studentwriter:
what she gave were biased reports, lies and Fabrications. How can she say she personally counted 15 dead bodies while the heat was ongoing, so instead of running for her dear life, she was busy counting dead bodies while others were scampering for safety?

That was after the shooting had stopped and people were rallying round to help the wonded and the dying that were lying down

Yes, that her account made sense.

Which is what was done. The police were already overwhelmed with their stations, cars burnt and some of them being killed. They were running for their dear lives.
Recall Lagos was already in crisis with attacks on public and private businesses, attempted jail breaks and chaos.
It is disingenuous to keep saying the protesters were unarmed and harmless. All the crises around were in #EndSARS' name, rightly or wrong. The first few days of protest was well supported by all, even the state govt came out in support, the FG acceded to all the demands. When it persisted despite wise calls to dialogue and it turned into a movement calling for govt overthrow, it will be difficult for govt not to seize back control.

The bolded happened after the massacre.

A woman with mental health issues?
Did she read the verified reports by the Premium Times?
I have a video of the Lekki toll gate shootings I sent to NTA via Twitter last year.

You are a very "funny" person. You sent a video evidence to NTA a government TV station instead of to AIT or Channels TV. Because they are always on the side of the government, they have thrown your video into the gutter.

If you still have a copy of the video, it's not too late for you to sent to AIT, or Channels TV or some other private TV station.

Have said it before that no massacre at lekki tollgate

The very night of the shooting my uncle a captain in the Nigeria army said sound of the gun he's hearing is automatic I can't remember how he called it, he said in a minute the gun can killed 500 people if it's in close range that by tomorrow there should be like 500 dead bodies at lekki tollgate
But to our surprise we didn't see any dead bodies the following day he immediately said the soldiers didn't shoot at the protesters and I believed it because till now we've not seen any dead bodies or relatives of the dead to come out, of recent there's a building collapse at lekki within few days we've seen dead bodies and relatives coming out but going to a year or more than now we've not seen any family to come out to say there person is killed at the tollgate
Please Nigerians let's be wise

The army took their body away

The reason why Reno Omokri's petition was removed from change.org website was because another petition existed with identical aim that was created before Reno Omokri's petition was cndreated. The older petition already has much more signatures than Reno Omokri's petition.

Reno Omokri's petition was created on the 17th November, 2021 while the older petition was created on the day the Lekki mascre occurred.

While Reno Omokri's petition had 80,000 signatures, the older petition has over 391,000 signatures.
