Christianity EtcRe: Catholic Bishop Reacts To Patrick Edet's Resignation: "The Pope Must Hear This" by aaccountable1: 10:01pm On Aug 15, 2017
Vows are not alien to the Christian faith. But the kind extracted by the Catholic Church ( the vow never to leave) from her priest are the same that characterise occultism not Christianity.

Ubenedictus:
Vows are not alien to the Christian faith. In fact the apostle Paul is recorded to have made a vow in act18:18



KJV: And Paul after this tarried there yet a
good while, and then took his leave of the
brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and
with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn
his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.


As you can see a Christian may make a vow to God, and when he does it is to be treated with seriousness for scriptures say my vows to the LORD i will fulfil.


Fr edet made vows voluntarily to God and his Church to give his life for Service in the Church in a priestly capacity, to obey his superiors in all that isn't sinful, to live the radical life spoken in scriptures to give all for the sake of the gospel.

If he no longer wish to live that life then his decision will be conveyed to the pope so the he can be freed from his vows to enable him lead the life he now wishes.


The bishop is simply doing the needful, he has been stripped of all rights and privileges and faculties, titles etc of a priest, the last part is for him to be released from his vows of Service, the pope is the person competent when it comes to removing people from the clerical state and dispensing from vows made to God and the Church.



There is nothing Wrong going on here.
I repeat that such vows are unchristian and unscriptural.
Jesus never extracted such vows from his Desciples or made it a prerequisite for them, like the Catholic Church has done. He gave them liberty to depart if they so choose.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

 30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:29,30)

compare with:

"For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers" (Matt 23:4)

Do not intentionally misunderstand me. we are looking at the way of Christ. Jesus gave his Desciples the choice to leave if they so choose. He will not compel you to remain in His service even against your will. only cults do that.
Christianity EtcRe: Catholic Bishop Reacts To Patrick Edet's Resignation: "The Pope Must Hear This" by aaccountable1: 4:19pm On Aug 15, 2017
"66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

 67  Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

 68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life"( John 6:66-67)

Jesus did not bind any of his followers with an oath. not a single example is found in the new testament where believers a bound with such an oath.

when you bind people under such an oath it becomes a cult and no longer Christ.

the cycle represents series and sequences of chemical reactions. the law of conservation of mass ( secondary sch) states that in a chemical reaction elements are neither created nor destroyed.
so the reactions do not represent an actual creation process. they only utilise what is present .

there is a cycle called the carbon cycle. u recycle what has already been manufactured. that is why it is called a cycle. not carbon creation.

we breath in oxygen and exhale carbondioxide, plants take in Co2 and release O2. neither animals nor plants created these gases. we only utilise them for our survival.

Christianity EtcRe: Winners Chapel Pastor's Wife Whose Womb Was Removed During Surgery Gives Birth(p by aaccountable1: 3:39pm On Aug 11, 2017
liberalchick:
As a Christian, even though you believe in miracles and you believe that God can do the impossible, miracles do occur within reasonable believable event. E.g, will you believe a miracle where a man's head was cut off ( clean no nerves attached) and suddenly a new head grows back? If you understand what a uterus is, then there is NO way a uterus can grow back ( akin to a new head growing ). In fact it is so impossible that scientist have been trying to do a successful uterine transplant since the 18th century. It was only in 2011 a successful transplant was done. In 2014, the first live birth from a uterine transplant was achieved.

I have read/heard so many 'womb was removed but gave birth' testimonies and am amazed at how many people lap them up ( I believe Nigerians are smart ). Just like how you won't believe if someone told you they don't have a heart ( and the person is not a vampire) but he/she is standing before you and is breathing/pumping blood, then you would know the 'no womb' stories are bogus. A uterus is needed for an embryo to implant and then the placenta is formed where the baby gets nutrients from its mother. When implantation happens outside the uterus (ectopic preganancy) the mother can die, such baby is not viable. There is no other organ in the body that can support a living/GROWING embryo for NINE months.

Why are these testimonies common? 1. Embellished testimony: Probably, she was indeed diagnosed with infertility, where the doctor said she will not be able to give birth ( it happens a lot) no partial hysterectomy was done but to make the problem seem so insurmountable that only a great God can solve they added 'jara' after all only a pastor can qualify for such great miracle.
2. Cover up: surrogacy is still very much a stigma in our culture, so to prove she is woman enough to birth her own child and not use a 'rented' uterus ( even though there is nothing absolutely wrong with it) they concocted a cover story, a story so often told in 'testimonies'
3. Something more sinister, baby factories exist because there is a market for it.
4. Or worse a kidnapped baby.

I wish we had investigative journalism in this country, we benefited from one in the 90s, remember Abike Dabiri miracle baby story?
would have tried to enlighten u, if I thought you were a Christian. but you are obviously not. miracles do not occur within " reasonable believable limit". Because 'ALL THINGS are possible to him that believeth' there is no limit in that.
You serve the God of logic and reason and science. his epistle is what u are preaching, not the God of the Bible. Faith transcends the Rhelm of reason. That is why atheists will never understand God, And what they do not understand they call stupid.

Gerrard59:
Richard Adeboye, son of Enoch Adeboye said a similar thing on a 'true life story' in a congregation this year. Nothing new.

Issue is: People believed. When I asked, where did the child stay to develop? I was chastised for questioning "What God can do".

@Post, DNA test should be carried on the child and supposed parents to ascertain the veracity. While on that, the doctor who authorised the operation needs to be seen and asked pertinent questions.
even if these are done and confirm the miracle, u will still find another argument. I have heard, seen , and experienced many miracles. my brother they are real.

Anyway, if you believed it, then it wouldn't qualify as a miracle. makes God even more awesome!

A woman without a womb delivered a baby!

PoliticsRe: President Buhari And This $30bn Loan! by aaccountable1(op): 2:29am On Nov 19, 2016
does our president really care what will happen after he has left office. leaving us to deal with a $30bn loan with it's accumulated interests and service charges? or he cares only about saving his face and public image in the eyes of gullible and fanatical fans?
PoliticsPresident Buhari And This $30bn Loan! by aaccountable1(op): 2:16am On Nov 19, 2016
“Between 1978 and 1986, this country incurred debts to the extent that we did not know how much we owed under the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. They had to engage the services of a consultant in the West to tell us what we owed, and of course, the London Paris Club gave us a figure.
“By the time [former President Olusegun] Obasanjo was paying the debts, in one fell swoop in 2005, this country parted with $12.4bn for the West to forgive us our debts. Meanwhile, they were the real sinners. At that time, on both the principal and the interest, we had paid $42bn. That amount alone could have eradicated poverty in the entire Africa.
“Now again, President Buhari wants to get a loan of $30bn. You know what that means? For generations unborn, we will mortgage their future, except the money is genuinely meant for infrastructural development, which is usually not the case once the money comes in. So Buhari should forget about the $30bn loan when he can get more than that if he goes after our stolen money in the West. General Sani Abacha and one of his men alone stole over $17bn.”
...Femi Falana

Already, the country’s external debt profile stands at $68bn and ranks 57th on the World Bank’s list of countries by external debt.
Furthermore, recent figures from the Debt Management Office show that in the past one year alone, the country has accumulated over $13.2bn (N4.17tn) in external debt.

, "current fiscal landscape in which about 40 per cent of the country’s annual revenue is already applied to debt servicing alone, getting a $29.9bn loan would worsen the economic situation
“It is the largest borrowing in Nigeria’s fiscal history,”
....Mr Henry Boyo, An economist“


Additionally, if the foreign loan package excludes the widely reported offer of billions of dollars’ China loans and the trillions of naira which will also be borrowed from the domestic market to fund future budget deficits, then of course, well over 50 per cent of our actual annual revenue will be required just to service our debts, while the balance income will be predominantly, as usual, consumed by recurrent expenditure, with little left over for infrastructure remediation.

“Besides, when completed, projects funded with the $29.96bn loans would invariably become public utilities. These prospects should be worrisome to us all, as our track record in the management of public utilities has always been riddled with corruption and deliberate negligence while some projects have become moribund, even before completion, while other sporadically sustainable operations have ultimately ended in dismal failure.
........Mr Henry Boyo, An economist

please who on naira land is in support of this $30bn loan. I personally think it's devious. accumulating neck breaking debts for subsequent administrations or as Femi Galena put it "Mortgaging our collective destiny" God forbid.

Politics$29.69bn Loan: Don't Join FG To Ruin Nigeria, Fayose Warns Saraki. by aaccountable1(op): 9:36pm On Nov 16, 2016
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has urged the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, not to join the Federal Government in ruining Nigeria by supporting President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for $29.96bn foreign loan.
The governor, who called on Saraki to join Nigerians who were against the loan, cautioned him not to because of his own personal interests join Buhari to destroy Nigeria.
Fayose in a press release issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said the senate president must realise “that no matter how much he tries to warm himself into the hearts of the Aso Villa Cabal, they can never love him and accept him into their fold.”
The governor queried the economic sense in taking over N12 trillion loan so as to be able to spend more money during economic recession.
“How can a nation be proposing to spend more money when its income has reduced considerably?
“Yes, it is being argued that nations in recession must spend to get out of recession, but in the case of Nigeria, how do we pay back when as of today, 30 per cent of our income is being used to service debt?
“What will happen to our economy when over 60 percent of our income is being used to service debt?”
Fayose urged the senate to be mindful of the reality that many states in Nigeria were unable to pay workers salary now because of the huge debt left behind by past governments.

Christianity EtcPastor Agbahime's Cry For Justice by aaccountable1(op): 2:12pm On Nov 13, 2016
as culled from the punch

Husband of Igbo trader killed in Kano, Pastor Mike Agbahime, tells GIBSON ACHONU about how his wife was murdered and his cry for justice

Can you give us a hint of your background?

I am Pastor Mike Agbahime, one of the senior pastors working at the Deeper Life Bible Church, Kano State. We (my late wife and I) were also into the business of plastic production in Kano. I am from Orodo, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State.

How long have you lived in Kano State?

I have lived in Kano for the past 45 years. I left for Kano on Wednesday, February 17, 1971 and reached there four days later on Sunday, February 21, 1971.

What happened the day your wife was murdered?

I was in one of our shops on Thursday, June 2, 2015. We usually closed by 3:30pm and from the shop, we go to church. But there was one Dauda Ahmed, who had formed the habit of washing his legs (ablution) for prayers in front of my wife’s shop.
He did that each time he wanted to say his prayers. He would leave his shop, which was a bit far from my wife’s own, to do that. We reported the matter to the owner of the shop, one Alhaji Mustapha. Mustapha warned him many times to desist from doing that. He told him (Dauda) that if he wanted to do (ablution), he should do it in his shop. Also, the President of the Hausa Plastic Association in Kofar Wambai market, Kano, Alhaji Aminu, also warned him when the incident was reported to him. Aminu even told Dauda that they (market union) would take him to court, if he did not change. He (Dauda) continued. Dauda was also fond of putting his goods in front of my wife’s shop in the early hours of the day.
Before she got to the shop, he would occupy the frontage of the shop with his goods. Whenever he was told to stop doing that, he (Dauda) would start uttering abusive words.
On the day my wife was murdered, a call came from one of our church members (who also has a shop in the market) while I was waiting for my wife to leave the shop so that we could go to the church. He told me on phone that some Hausa people were making trouble with my wife. I asked him why and he answered, “I don’t know.” It was then I asked him to give my wife his phone so that I could talk with her. Do you know that the (Hausa mob) did not allow the man to give her the phone? It was then that I quickly packed my wares to go and find out the problem. As this was going on, I met the same man who was with my wife at the market. He said, “Daddy, don’t worry, they have left her (my wife).” Later, my wife appeared. She told me that it was the same Dauda that did ablution in the front of her shop. She said that she told Dauda, “Why won’t you allow me to finish packing before you start pouring your water for ablution in my shop?”
After telling Dauda this, she told me that he held her hand and asked her, “Mekai fatah?” This phrase means “What did you just say?” My wife asked him, “What right do you have to hold my hand?” She asked him to leave her hand. She stated that if he did not leave her, that she would use one of the plastic products in the shop to break his head. Immediately Dauda left her, he started shouting “Allah Akbar.”

What did you do?

I then told my wife that since Dauda had started his trouble again, that we should go and see Alhaji Mustapha, the owner of the shop.

What happened after?

Alhaji Mustapha ushered us in. He (Mustapha) told us to go and come back on Saturday, June 4, 2016, so as to speak with Dauda and settle the disagreement. His office was upstairs. But as we were leaving through the staircase, we saw a teeming mob with weapons. Alhaji Mustapha tried to disperse them. He told them in Hausa that he would resolve the matter the next Saturday. They started abusing him, throwing stones at him. They called him kafir , meaning somebody who does not know Allah. When Mustapha saw that the mob was getting more aggressive, he opened his office, told us to go in and locked it. When they saw that Alhaji Mustapha had let us in and locked his office, they continued shouting Allah Akbar. As they were shouting, many others joined them.
What did he (Mustapha) do when they were gathering in greater numbers?

It is painful to tell you that Alhaji Mustapha, seeing how aggressive they were, slumped. But before he slumped, he had called the police. The Divisional Police Officer of the area came in with two other policemen. The three could not calm the angry mob. The mob climbed up in their numbers, broke the window, and jumped in.

What were you doing with your wife while this was going on?

We were praying to God to save the situation. When they later entered the office where we were hiding, they hit my wife on the head with very heavy iron objects and she immediately slumped and died. Having completed their mission, they all went back. They did not touch me.

What did the police later do?

The DPO later came in after my wife was killed and asked me, “Is she dead?” He was the one who told the other policemen to bring the police vehicle, so that they could take her corpse to the mortuary. When they (mob) heard ‘mortuary’, they reinforced. When the DPO saw that they were coming in again in greater number, he called the area commander, complaining that they had killed my wife, adding that their own lives were in danger.

What was the response of the area commander?


The area commander deployed more policemen in the area. They arrived immediately and started shooting canisters into the air to disperse the crowd. It was the policemen who helped me to put her corpse inside the vehicle to the mortuary. The mob continued to throw stones at the vehicle as we were going to deposit her corpse in the morgue.

What happened next?

Not satisfied, the mob moved to my shop and vandalised it. They also smashed my car,which I bought not up to a year before the incident, to pieces.

Did the Kano State Government meet you after the incident to console you?

The true story was that on June 3, 2016, Governor Umaru Ganduje called a security meeting that involved all sheikhs, ulamas, state executive council members, Christian Association of Nigeria ,Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Eze Ndigbo in Kano, Yoruba monarchs, Edo leaders, other ethnic nationalities leaders and the state commissioner of police. In that meeting, I was asked what happened and I narrated the incident. After other comments, Governor Ganduje condemned the act, saying it was un-Islamic.

What was the resolution reached after the meeting?

The meeting resolved that justice must prevail and that the perpetrators of the act must be brought to book. It was also resolved that my family must be taken care of by the Kano State Government and lastly, that the state government would establish Islamic schools, where Islamic scholars would teach the people (Muslims) the real Islamic doctrines and traditions.

We learnt that Igbos in Kano wanted to launch a reprisal.

The resolutions of that meeting, which were announced on air, made them change their minds on carrying out a reprisal. There was a serious reprisal scheduled to hold on Friday, June 3, 2016; probably a state of emergency would have been declared in Kano State if such had happened. It is pertinent to state that Eze Ndigbo in Kano also called an emergency meeting immediately, where Igbo and other ethnic groups, were asked not to take the law into their hands and that the state government had, in totality, condemned the act.

Were there other developments?


While my wife was still in the mortuary, leaving me and our only son, the police arrested the suspects. They succeeded in arresting Dauda Ahmed and one other person. This was when Solomon Arase was the Inspector-General of Police. The then IG also dispatched a team of detectives from Abuja to Kano. The detectives arrested three suspects. I gathered from a reliable source that Dauda confessed to the crime in writing (in Hausa language), saying that he planned and killed my wife in order to take over the shop. The other suspects also confessed to the crime. I was later called by the police to identify all of them, which I did. This was because I knew all of them.

What is your assessment of the way the police handled the matter?

It is painful to disclose that after a while, the other two runaway suspects reappeared in the market. The police were informed about this development, but for a reason which I did not know, they (police) shielded them (from arrest). Again, when the police had completed their investigations, they told me that they were ready to prosecute the suspects. But for a reason best known to the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Kano State, he refused, for five months, to file a charge against Dauda and the other arrested suspects.
He (commissioner) refused to take the suspects to the High Court for prosecution. On the contrary, the police in Kano wrote to the then Deputy Inspector-General of Police, who is now the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, for advice. To the dismay of the general public and the international community, a court recently released the suspects, declaring them innocent. It is important to note at this point that the case was in the magistrates’ court for five months without being charged to High Court.

Before the day your wife was killed, has there been a threat of violence against your family?

No, there was nothing like such.

How did your child and your relations receive the news of your wife’s murder?

My son and the entire Agbahime family, including my in-laws, Igbo community, church and other well-wishers were completely devastated on hearing the gruesome murder of my wife. This was because my wife was very committed to church activities. She was every good thing one could think of in a woman.

For how long were you married?

We got married on Saturday, November 20, 1982 and we have lived together for the past 34 years.
Did your wife ever complain to you that she was being threatened by any Muslim youth before the incident?

No, the only complaint she raised was about Dauda. Put simply, she was not in any trouble or had a problem with any person (Muslim), apart from Dauda Ahmed.

Did you get her corpse for burial?


Yes, when the burial was fixed for August 26, 2016, at Orodo, my home town, I had to take her corpse from the Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, Kano mortuary to Imo State for burial. We left Kano early in the morning of August 25, 2016, and got to Imo very late the same day. The burial took place on August 26, 2016. I appreciate my church and some members of the public for their assistance in the course of the burial.

Did the Kano State Government meet you after the incident to console you?

Before the suspects were declared innocent, I went to him (Ganduje) to notify him that the suspects had not been charged to court. He said that he would do something about it, but never did. What he did was to pave the way for them (suspects) to be declared innocent of the murder case.

Why did you relocate from Kano State?

I had to relocate because I reliably gathered that some Muslims were planning to kill me. This was because I am the prime witness to the matter.
How have you been coping five months after the incident?


It has been like hell on earth. I say this because after they killed my wife, vandalised my vehicle and destroyed my two shops (mine and that of my wife), I now depend on my siblings and members of my church for financial assistance. Presently, I am not doing anything.

What fresh things did you learn about Nigeria after the matter, especially on the call for national unity?


The saying, “One Nigeria” is just mere balderdash. I say this because the leaders’ mistake is a ‘leading’ mistake. To buttress it, if our leaders cannot keep the oaths of their offices and cannot respect the sanctity of life and our constitution, there is no need to talk about oneness in Nigeria. I also say this because even if the constitution condemns killing in one part of the country and declares other people who killed in other state innocent, I wonder what kind of constitution that is.

What steps did the Imo State governor and the House of Assembly take to get justice for you and your family?

In spite of several letters I sent to the state government and the Imo State House of Assembly, nothing has been done by the government to correct the abnormality and ensure justice for the murder of my wife, an Imo State indigene. Apart from the burial, which the Imo State Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere, some executive council members and Eze Imo, HRM Eze Samuel Ohiri, attended, there has not been correspondence between the state government and I.
I want the Presidency, Senate, House of Representatives and the judiciary to compel the Kano State judiciary to re-arrest the suspects and charge them to a High Court in Abuja, where human right activists and NGOs, among others, would monitor the proceedings. This is because I have lost confidence in the Kano State judiciary.

The court ruled that the suspects had no case to answer. Do you know any of the arraigned suspects from Abdulmumeen Mustafa, Abdullahi Abubakar, Zabairu Abubakar to Musa Abdullahi apart from Dauda Ahmed?

Yes, I know all of them. Even at the police station, I identified all of them. All of us were in the same market (some of them in the same line). Permit me to state that Dauda Ahmed mentioned some of his cohorts on the run, but the police never arrested them.

A similar case happened in Kano in 1994 when a mob beheaded one Gideon Akaluka. Were you aware of the incident?

Yes, I was in Kano then.
What do you want the government to do for you?

There was a four-point resolution the Kano State Government took after the meeting.They should religiously implement those resolutions.

Has Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo invited you since you arrived in your state?

Yes, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State invited me and promised that the law must take its course on the murderers.

Does it now mean we should reject the judgement of a legally constituted court in Nigeria?
Muslims never hesitate to employ deceit in defence of their religion. stop the deceit.

Hello! Share the source of the lie you composed if it's not a lie.
I cannot for security reasons. it's your business if you do not believe. i'm just satisfied that the news of their release was even made public. news claims they were released today but I heard about their release and the relocation of the man yesterday evening, and that from faultless sources.

You the biggest liar on Nairaland

Just look at how you quickly composed a sorrowful lie.

You need to start drinking clean water
maybe it that easy for you to lie. maybe you are heartless enough to make sport of this kind of issue. but not everyone is like you.

I'd like to believe the attorney general knows something we do not know. Otherwise, this is setting a very dangerous precedence.


My gut feeling tells me they have other suspects.

the saddest part of this whole matter right now is that her husband has fled kano to the East for fear of his life. As we are talking the man is not in kano. attempts were made to assassinate him, he only escaped miraculously. the Hausa people said that they made a mistake allowing him to survive.
