Not always easy for ladies to get a real man
who truly love them , i have some tips for girls
to help them understand some stuff about
relationship. i won`t write too much article on
this.
1. He takes you everywhere with him
He can't go to his most important events without you
by his side.
Family holidays, special events and outings, he has
you with him. He is proud and wants to show you off
to his family and friends.
2. He doesn't hit the door when challenges come
There'll always be challenges and things may get
harder with time. If your man stays by your side
during these trying times then he is in for the long
haul with you.
3. He sees just you alone
You can be in a room full of people and he'll still
search you out because he doesn't have a wondering
eye rather he's focusing on just you.
4. He tells you he wants to marry you
Only jokers blurt out the marriage word easily, but if
you know your man is serious-minded and he tells
you he wants to marry you, then he's really serious
about taking you to the altar.
5. He plans the future with you
When he starts involving you in his future plans and
asks your opinion on them because they matter, it
could be a huge sign that he's ready to settle down
with no one but you.

Adebola Odumosu, one of the sons of late self- proclaimed messiah, Jesu Oyingbo, has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for allegedly defiling a teenager. According to reports, Adebola is at the moment being held at State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba. He was arrested after he confessed to the crime he committed years back to a U.K-based blogger. Adebola did this to spite his estranged lover, Folashade Olatunji, who is a business rival to the blogger he leaked the information to. Adebola committed the crime at Alakuko, and went ahead to abort two pregnancies for the teenager before her family got to know about it and swept it under the carpet to save the teenager from stigmatization. The Nation reports that Adebola also blackmailed his ex Folashade and extorted money from her after their relationship ended over what he did. He also kidnapped Folashade’s 87-year-old grandmother and held her hostage at a flat rented by Folashade in Lagos demanding some sort of ransome. Karma caught up with him when he leaked the rape story to a UK-based blogger. Folashade reported the case the blackmail to the Police Command and the suspect was arrested. He also confessed to having sex with the teenager who went through abortions for him. Police spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, an Assistant Superintendent (ASP) said the suspect would be charged to court.

You have said it all but tithe should be spent right and accounted for. Paying tithe to the wrong hands is like planting seed on a clay sand.
I'm totally against church using tithes to build schools and members can't afford.

The Niger Delta Avengers has been urged to call its members to sheath their swords, hours after the militant group issued threats to resume attacks on oil facilities in the region. One of the elders in the region and the spokesperson for Gbaramatu Kingdom, Godspower Gbenekama, made the appeal after a closed-door meeting with the Deputy Governor of Delta State, Kingsley Otuaro, on Saturday in Asaba. Gbenekama asked the group to give the Federal Government more time to fulfil its promises to the people of the region. He, however, blamed the government for not keeping its promises to the requests made by the people which he said was contained in the 16-point agenda of the Pan Niger Delta Elders’ Forum (PANDEF). “The issues are not leadership issues, PANDEF articulated the issues and as at then, everybody agreed,” he said. If the Federal Government has started meeting those demands one after the other, these threats would not have resurfaced. “The Ogoni cleanup for instance, take off the Maritime University which the Vice President disclosed that N2bn has been approved but up till now, we have nothing.” Gbenekama also warned that the threats must not be treated with levity and urged the government to move swiftly to avert what he described as the ‘dangers’ ahead. He said, “Threats like these are not empty ones, the Federal Government must, therefore, do the needful by addressing some of these concerns. “We cannot do much, the only thing we can do is beg these faceless youths to be patient with the Federal Government.”

I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION FOR THE OP, WHERE IS THE HOUSE OF GOD TODAY?

not clear.

petra1:
Jesus clearly endorsed tithing here

Matthew 23:23 (TLB)
"Yes, woe upon you, Pharisees, and you other religious leaders--hypocrites! For you tithe down to the last mint leaf in your garden, but ignore the important things--justice and mercy and faith. Yes, you should tithe, but you shouldn't leave the more important things undone.

Tithes and offetings are principled in the kingdom of God. It has always been there before the law came . Right from the days of Abraham it has come to stay . Just like other principles like worship , prayer , alms , fasting etc . Testaments don’t change principles

Salvation from what? Every human being is safe spiritually. It's only physical safety I think I need more and I can get that by getting bodyguards, although bodyguards can fall hands sometimes sha. However, I can't die before my time, according to the thummim of the light of God Almighty the father of Yahweh and Allah.
Op, thanks for your suggestion, but I'm safe already.

ok

OtemSapien:
Eh eh eh eh. So I should shut up eh. Why should I shut up when a homo is trying to frame God Almighty up? God Almighty jejely remains hidden in everyone, yet a homo is lying against him that he said that we should be giving him ten percent of our hard-earned money. Rather than paying tithe to a thief like Yahweh or his pastors, I'd rather pay it to my fellow man in need.

you this guy need salvation

Tithing is an Old Testament concept. The tithe was a
requirement of the Law in which the Israelites were
to give 10 percent of the crops they grew and the
livestock they raised to the tabernacle/temple
(leviticus 27:30,numbers 18:26,deuteronomy 14:24,2 Chronicles 31:5). In fact, the Old Testament Law
required multiple tithes—one for the Levites, one for
the use of the temple and the feasts, and one for the
poor of the land—which would have pushed the total
to around 23.3 percent. Some understand the Old
Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide
for the needs of the priests and Levites in the
sacrificial system.
After the death of Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, the
New Testament nowhere commands, or even
recommends, that Christians submit to a legalistic
tithe system. The New Testament nowhere
designates a percentage of income a person should
set aside, but only says gifts should be “in keeping
with income” (
1 Corinthians 16:2). Some in the
Christian church have taken the 10 percent figure
from the Old Testament tithe and applied it as a
“recommended minimum” for Christians in their
giving.
The New Testament talks about the importance and
benefits of giving. We are to give as we are able.
Sometimes that means giving more than 10 percent;
sometimes that may mean giving less. It all depends
on the ability of the Christian and the needs of the
body of Christ. Every Christian should diligently pray
and seek God’s wisdom in the matter of participating
in tithing and/or how much to give (
James 1:5). Above
all, all tithes and offerings should be given with pure
motives and an attitude of worship to God and
service to the body of Christ. “Each man should give
what he has decided in his heart to give, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver” (
2 Corinthians 9:7).

My Own Testimony Is That God Let Me See This First Sunday Of This New Month In Good Health.I Give Thanks For Him For All What He Has Done For Me.
What is your own testimony or testimonies.let hear from you.

The recent invitation of the former deputy governor of Osun State and Ex. Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Iyiola Omisore, by Mr. Umege Uzochukwu, a deputy commissioner of Police in charge of Osun State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, has been generating a lot of furore in the media. Many have queried the way and manner the invitation was circulated widely to various online and offline media houses. A Lagos based online blogger, names withheld, disclosed that he became suspicious the way and manner the Police Invitation was written and attached to a press statement with a tone of urgency for them to publish the material last weekend. “It was sent out from same source with a tone of urgency and we became suspicious. Moreso, it was dated October 20, 2017 why sending it on October 27?” In his response, Senator Omisore has described his invitation as a sinister plot by some powerful interests in the ruling opposition party in his state, All Progressives Congress (APC) to get him out of circulation ahead of 2018 gubernatorial election in the state by using the Nigeria Police to frame him on trumped-up charges. Omisore, who was the Chairman Appropriation Committee while serving the Senate, stated in a press release personally signed by him, stated that these opposition elements are apparently working with the Nigeria Police or some of their officers to realize their sinister plot against his person. “In the invitation, I was asked to report to the said DCP Uzochukwu that the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke, had reported a case of assault against me to them. And I wondered when Senator Adeleke (may God rest his soul) made the report as no date was given in the said invitation. The police invitation letter was dated 20th October 2017”, he quizzed. Some legal experts who have been paying attention to the development have queried the legality or otherwise of the letter. Reacting to the police invitation, A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Nathaniel Oke, described the action of the police as “political harassment.” According to Oke (SAN), “Police have the statutory power to invite any individual who is suspected to have committed any offence for the purpose of carrying out their investigation to determine whether criminal offence has actually been committed or not. The only area that is actually worrying me is that, when Senator Isiaka Adeleke himself was alive, what step did the police actually take to unravel and probably prosecute Senator Iyiola Omisore? Therefore, to me, it is a political harassment. It is a political intimidation. “The question is this; Senator Adeleke was alive since 2014 before he died in 2017. Now, where is the complainant as far as that criminal allegation is concerned? Will evidence now be given on behalf of the deceased? I don’t think it is proper. They have the right to invite him for the purpose of interrogation, but the fact is that, this is political harassment. “The point I am making is that, what were the police doing as at the time the person who was purportedly assaulted was alive. Why after the demise of Senator Adeleke?” Oke interrogated. In his own argument, a lecturer at the faculty of Law, Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU Ile-Ife, Mr. Musibau Lateef, described the police action as “absurdity and ridiculous. “It is the height of absurdity. Assault that happened in 2014, as a matter of law, you cannot maintain a crime of assault which is a personal injury on behalf of a dead person. For the sake of God, Senator Adeleke is late, can anybody legally speaking, bring an action of assault on his behalf? The answer is no, legally speaking, and that is why I said, for me, it is a sign of ignorance and it is quite ridiculous. “The police have the right under section 2(11) of the Constitution and police Act, to invite anybody, but in this context, it is the height of ignorance. I’m speaking as a matter of law; it is not possible to sustain a matter of assault on behalf of the dead person. It is a personally injury crime that only the person who suffered the injury must testify. Reacting to whether the evidence of the late Adeleke before the commission of enquiry can be admitted on oath, the law lecturer said, “we are talking about crime here; no commission of enquiry, I repeat, no commission has the right to indict anyone on criminal offense. “So, whatever the findings of the commission in this respect goes to nothing. Who will come to court to tender the statement? This is not a matter of controversy and that is why I used ignorance deliberately, it is the height of ignorance. “We are not talking of murder here because murder would have been different, but he slapped me, he kicked me, how do you prove that? It is ridiculous and height of ignorance. Going by the content of the letter that he was invited in connection with the 2014 issue, it is ignorance on the part of the police. The content of the letter has rubbished whatever may be the reason for the invitation.“Senator Omisore may refuse to go. He can simply tell his lawyer to go and explain to them. You have the right not to subject yourself to such ridiculous invitation”, Lateef explained. Speaking in the same vein, Barrister Oluwaseun Ijoba, said, “The police have not been responsible in handling this issue. If the letter did not state particularly the reason they invited him, it would have been something else. Now, I begin to wonder, what intelligence, what new fact would emerge after the death of this man about seven months ago that did not emerge in three years after the alleged act. I couldn’t see any reason for this invitation rather than political harassment. “It is mere allegation against Senator Omisore. It has not been proved. There’s no way the police would justify their position presently after three years!. If there is no opportunity to cross examine a witness, to test the veracity of the statement made by the witness, the statement amount to nothing. A human right lawyer, Mr. Kanmi Ajibola, said “the invitation by the police to Otunba Iyiola Omisore is very wrongful and offensive. The cause of complaints given to the police by the late Senator Adeleke had passed off with his death. The police should be very careful on careless and unproductive invitation like this”. He wondered why the police have not prosecuted the case since 2014 when it was reported to them. But the former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Mr. Wale Afolabi, maintained that criminal case can be prosecuted any time, even after the death of the complainant. “Police has the right to invite anybody for questioning once there is a report of alleged crime. Don’t forget that the law is no respecter of anybody. No matter highly placed, the police have the right to invite such person for interrogation’, Afolabi asserted. Explaining further his initial position and the politics behind the unusual invitation, Senator Omisore said, “We all know that as Nigerians we are living in a very interesting time. The culture now is to source for scapegoats in members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for every inaction of government. The tragic instance in which the late former Osun State governor, a distinguished senator of the Federal Republic, died is still fresh in our memories, particularly the controversy that his death generated across the nation. “What is also fresh in our collective memory is the decision by the good people of Osun State to reward the late Senator Adeleke and people of Ede by electing his brother to complete his term in the Senate. The people’s decision of course was carried out by our great party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).” “Could this invitation by the police have been anchored on the role I played as a party leader in that election? Omisore probed. Wondering how the police could allow themselves to be brazenly used against the people they are expected to protect. “Therefore, I want the public to know about the plot and keep them informed about this sinister plot against myself and the memory of Senator Adeleke,” Omisore concluded.

“I didn’t plan to be a Billionaire’s child”- DJ Cuppy says as she speaks on Davido calling himself “Omo baba olowo” Once they mention the name DJ Cuppy what comes to mind is Nigerian billionaire, Femi Otedola. Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, DJ Cuppy said there was a time she wished she had more freedom and could experience certain things. She told Goldmyne TV, “In my song with Tekno, Green Light, I tried to be more open. Looking back at my upbringing, I grew up with a lot of borders. I love meeting people, I love having fun with people, but I didn’t grow up doing that all the time. But I am an adult now and I can choose my own. So, I am choosing to be open. Although, I am so grateful to God for my upbringing, as my parents took good care of me and gave me the best education. But I miss some things. People tell me that they once did certain things, which were fun. For instance, they once took a bus and go to someplace alone. Someone had also told me that they once went to the field and stole corns. You may think all these don’t matter, but I don’t have those memories.” Have you ever wished you were not Otedola’s child? She replied; “That was back in the day, but I am now very comfortable with my skin. In the beginning, when I first entered the industry, I felt a lot of artistes or industry people didn’t like me. I thought they felt I was entering their space with an advantage over them and thought it was unfair. But now, I feel like I have paid my dues and I have built a good reputation over time for myself. Now, I am happy to say who my dad is and I cannot change it. I have embraced it and I see it as a blessing now. People have to understand I just wanted to be someone’s child, so; they shouldn’t use that against me. I could walk into a room and, before even opening my mouth, everyone had formed an opinion about me. It is like you don’t want to give a young woman a chance to express herself.” According to her, the difference between her and Davido is that the singer decided to use his upbringing to his advantage from the outset. “He told everyone he was OBO (Omo Baba Olowo); take it or leave it. I am not that kind of person, but he was smarter because before you could use that against him, he had already told you.” Source – Gistreel

Former presidential assistant, Reno Omokri, has condemned recent comments by Osun state Governor, Rauf Aregbesola against President Jonathan and the PDP. In a statement on Tuesday, Omokri said Aregbesola is a “lazy talkative” and a “confused man suffering from verbal diarrhoea” Omokri said blaming Jonathan and the opposition for his (Aregbesola) inability to pay salariesis another one in the long list of blame gaming the All Progressives Congress (APC) governments at all levels are well known for. “It is not surprising that the usually loquacious Governor Aregbesola has been quiet about the $25 billion scam at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and chooses to distract the public with this fallacious revision of history. To put things into perspective, this scam is the single largest scam in the history of Nigeria since 1914”, he wrote. “For the avoidance of doubt, calamity did not strike the Nigerian economy on June 2014 as alleged by Governor Aregbesola or at any other time that former President Jonathan governed Nigeria. “Perhaps Governor Aregbesola is confused and meant to say August 2016 when Nigeria officially entered into recession for the first time in 25 years due to the mismanagement of the economy by the APC administrations at all levels. “Contrary to Governor Aregbesola’s verbal diarrhoea, the Jonathan era, spanning 2010 to 2015, witnessed an era of unprecedented growth in which Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product consistently grew at over 6% per annum and our economy became the largest economy in Africa and the third fastest growing economy in the world according to CNNMoney. In that time frame, inflation was at single digit rate, the Naira was stable at under 200 Naira to a dollar and petrol sold at ₦87 per liter. “Rather than blame Dr. Jonathan or the PDP for his massive failure in office, Governor Aregbesola is advised to look at Anambra state where the state government is not dependent on the Federal Government but has creatively come up with ways to generate revenue without taking loans or the bailout handed out by the APC led Federal Government. “Anambra has become self sufficient in food production and is exporting agricultural produce to Europe and Asia whereas Osun state under Governor Aregbesola which has a larger and more fertile land mass is borrowing left right and center and failing that, begging for funds from national and multinational institutions. “My question to Rauf Aregbesola is whether the Governor of Anambra has two heads whereas Aregbesola has only one? The answer is that the Anambra state government is not headed by a lazy talkative who believes that all there is to governance is to wait for monthly manna from Abuja. “No matter how much federal allocation you give a governor, if he has a consumer mentality, it will never be enough. Aregbesola is an example. No matter how little federal allocation you give a governor, if he has a producer mentality, it will be turned into more than enough. Peter Obi and Willie Obiano of Anambra are examples. “Thankfully, the great people of Osun state have seen through the emptiness of their Governor and his APC which is why they voted overwhelmingly against them and for the Peoples Democratic Party in the recent Osun West Senatorial District election where the PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke, trounced the APC’s candidate 97, 280 to 66, 115. “If Governor Aregbesola would only sell the tens of cars in his convoy, reduce the hundreds of millions it takes to run his office, curtail the millions he spends on propaganda and then invest that money in income generating ventures like farms, poultries, micro finance institutions and similar enterprises, he will be able to pay his civil servants instead of passing the buck and blaming Dr. Jonathan who left office almost three years ago.”
