360degreess: .. You are wrong. They are trying to follow their scriptures. Alcohol is also prohibited in your scripture, it's just that you are too ignorant to know. See : proverb 20:1, 1corintians 5:11, 1corintians 6:10, ephesians 5:18 etc.. You prefer to follow(worship) your pastors, Bishops, Rev., etc.. The Christians only follow Jesus by lips not by deeds. No wonder the Qur'an described the Christians as ignorants when it comes to "spiritual" matters.
Hmmm interesting, you know I would have given you a response on your last line but I just think it's the case of the actual mad man calling the sane one mad. My focus would be that since alcohol is prohibited why not prosecute who buys it that's a Muslim than destroying someone's investment. It's not in kano constitution that alcohol sale or drinking is a crime, right? It's the case of claiming righteous cause you didn't see the sin but in your heart you think of it. Unfortunately I see a lot of mechanized righteousness in Islam take porn for example that it is ban doesn't stop fornication. righteousness is saying no in spite of temptation not destroying the temptation and claiming you are doing God's will.
Anyways if those companies who are affected have sense just sue Hisbah and kano state government that's all
Abouwaza: Popular broadcaster, Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze has hit out at the Churches and their leaders who are yet to lend their voices in the ongoing #EndSARS campaign against police brutality in Nigeria.
Taking to his Twitter page, The Lagos-based On Air Personality acknowledged others who have spoken out and pleaded with the rest to publicly come out and stand for the people like late American Christian minister and activist, Martin Luther King Jr, did for his own people.
He wrote; ”The silence from the Churches/GOs regarding #EndSARS is so loud! Except for a few that spoke earlier, everyone else in church leadership is so conspicuously silent? Please, I plead with you, Stand with the people like Martin Luther King did! He was a reverend! ~FRZ #SARSMUSTEND”
Unfortunately I am not on Twitter by choice, I would like have shown daddy freeze pictures of prayer walks that have held and that will hold this week and next in many states of the country. Niger state where I reside will hold ours on Saturday. Israel didn't leave Egypt by protest as great as that is, Jesus was not an activist. we call for a mighty hand.
GOTVee: I have been a dedicated born again Christian for over 25 years and i have never seen anyone speaking the truth to the alter like Daddy freeze. It's unfortunate that Christianity has been commercialized by those business men in suits we call pastors. Imagine a sensitive issue like SARS killings Nigerians and yet none of them could raise their voice in solidarity. We all witnessed their vituperations when freeze attacked their tithes and offering with scriptural backing. We saw how ferocious they were in shouting down the CAMA bill. What else do we need as proof that these pulpit fraudsters are not Christ like in their dealings?
This is why i like MURIC and other Islamic groups. They will rather protect the interest of Muslims than watch from the sidelines. We Christians really have a lot of positive lessons to learn from our Muslim brothers and their ways of life. I'm sometimes ashamed to be a Christian. Honestly
Oga you never tire ni, we already know you were never a Christian just claiming to be one so as to tarnish the name. Oga go and sit down with Muhammad. Meanwhile your MURIC and other Islamic bodies has not spoken too
tayebest: Can the dead still have the Corona Virus existing in there bodies?
I mean can they still pocess the virus since virus don't manifest in non living things.
Viruses can form cyst, like a shell and come alive in a living body. That's why you don't share sharp objects with HIV/AIDS patients. Once can contract it still. Meanwhile the cells of a man doesn't die immediately he's dead it happens gradually and certain enzymes and micro organisms causes decay internally.
MadeBoy: I'm a guy that likes my privacy reasons of my quality time to think and pray for hours. Because I face a lot of spiritual challenges. And my midnight prayers have been helping me. Most especially when I had a nightmare or anytime I woke up.
I will seal up my windows and doors while my AC is blasting high. And even when I raise up my voice it doesn't come out.
The government just extended the lockdown which is tiring. She came to my house and doesn't want to leave. I have so many debts on my head now and my yearly house rent is expiring soon. This is the period I need to be alone in prayers. The little I have now I am using it to take care of her which I would have uses for myself to prolong the suffering during this lockdown. Branch and carbon are sending me SMS to pay my loans.
My apartment is so cussing, chilling and so comfortable more than her house by far. Maybe reason she doesn't want to go. She will be disturbing me and dragging remot control with me. When I am watching TV she will just change it to nollywood drama.
I do want her to be coming and going. Not just to come and stay like she is doing now. I'm not use to this type of life unlike some of my friends.
Outside of all this, I do not see future with her just normal control things..
I have not been able to leave the house or do other personal private stuff.
I need her to go maybe coming on some weekends or when invited.
Sorry I'm curious about something, are you having sex with her if you are then I am surprised you could he talking about praying to God. That's absurd.
wirinet: I tire for Nigerians o. We are the only people that has no idea of what is being talked about but claim expert, while spewing nonsense.
I did not even know we had electron microscopes in any university. Tell me can DNA of viruses be sequenced in Nigeria. How can Nigerian scientist make research to find cure, when there are zero research facilities? Maybe the minister is talking of mixing agbo that can cure corona virus and probably cancer along with it.
Excellent7: A lot of utterances from people at the helm of affairs leaves much to be desired and little hope for the future. The usual Naija solution to problems is to throw money at it. Money that will often times develop "k-leg". I beg help me as the Oga that said this just two questions; (1) Oga, do you have a sample of the virus to work with? (2) How many biosafety level 3 and level 4 laboratories do you have in the country and their locations. Nigeria that is scared to even extract its citizens from China like other countries. I doubt the 36 million Naira will be even enough to build and equip the right specification of laboratory for such studies. This guys do not seem to have an idea of what is involved.
My brother the thing tire me o. To now say one girl was hailing the minister was really infuriating. Anyways thank God more people have sense than those that don't
LadySwitz: I didn't pick any sense in your write up... Read carefully what you've just posted.
Honestly I don't mean to sound rude or perhaps insulting but you are the one not seeing the sense in what he wrote. First like he said it's not workable. Aside from the fact that the money is small a reward which is excusable. How can you discover the cure for a virus in proxy. Everyone is running away from it, you stop importation of goods from there, shut down their supermarket in Abuja just so that it won't get into the nation and then you said we should get their cure. Honestly I think some of these people take us for been stupid. One must get the virus and patients (plural) to work work before one can discover a vaccine.
Secondly, it's just irritating, so appealing the way the supposedly distinguished minister of science and technology thinks. We'll have lassa, ebola, etc you don't announce a reward and a cure but far away in Asia you are trying to solve their own problems (meanwhile Australian scientists with resources far beyond ours are way ahead of us). We don't even have scientific research institutions of world class repute. You want to carry our FTIR, TEM etc you have to travel abroad or send your sample. The last I checked we only have 3 electronic microscopes in Nigeria one of which is bad. Then you say they should be applauded, I am very sorry I totally disagree with your point thank you
DarkJeddi: I would take you more serious if you are able to explain the existence of God?
How did he come about?
Who created him and how did he come about the ability to create Worlds and other life forms..
You see..
Saying God created everything has not answered the question of how things came to be,you just shifted the Goalpost..
I don't have to prove their is no God..
You have to prove there is God and so far you have not proved ANYTHING..
The Sun is not a Planet so it doesn't move like every other PLANETS..
The Sun doesn't move because there's no force or heavenly body large enough around its vicinity to exert a force on it..
That's Elementary Physics,for a body to move a large enough force must be exerted on it..
On the other hand,it exerts said force on all the nearby Planetary bodies..
The exact same way the Earth exerts a force on its Satellite,the Moon that allows the Moon to move around the Earth..
Try read up a little..
You ask about other SUNS?
Really?
Some questions diminishes your worth in an argument..
What the furck do you think the STARS are?
They are SUNS..
All manners of shapes and sizes of SUNS..
BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of SUNS..
Lolx hahahahahahah it's very funny. There's a thing about argument that you might not know or utilize. The moment you assume or belittle your "opposing" partner argue on the points made and not on if he has knowledge or not. Basically, the proof for the existence of God is too clear to be unseen. You and I and everything around us is proof. Geography, alignment of the constellations, I mentioned galaxies, parallel universal etc if I know those things is it the reality of suns that I won't know. BTW I don't do argument so much. I have made my own point you disagree. That's cool. I maintain my stance: IT IS ONLY LOGICAL TO THINK AND BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS. love you
Ausrichie: It is simple calculation. There is a place in the bible where they listed the descendants of Adam to David and on to Jesus. Connect the dots.
Lolx hahahahahahah I hate dots give me a link to connect it
DarkJeddi: One day the Earth is going to die just like many planets have died before it,that in no way proves the existence of God..
He won't be laughing cause he will be DEAD,just like every other living thing would be DEAD..
Everything came to life at one point and everything will die at one point including God. That is really a reasonable logical thinking. I celebrate you sir.
Very funny, if you had said the earth and humanity will just keep living I would consider that a more reasonable and believable statement but all things will just that then we'll have an empty abyss. Wow you amaze me.
If big bang is correct, then the planetary bodies, constellation, whole cycle of life would have spiraled into oblivion. What is gravity, why is the sun not moving like every other planet, where are the other suns? Why is earth the only habitable? What about all the other solar systems in the Galaxy and parallel universe? Why? What? Who? And so many questions. It's only sensible to agree that an entity is at the centre of it, keeping it together. Else the laws of physics are a joke. Nothing kept to itself survives. Mention any 3 things on earth that can sustain itself unless it's been control, Governed, etc by someone, something or some entity. If you say there's no God its your belief but then you that your dog pet are the same. It's the God factor that sets man apart and above.
CAPSLOCKED: I'M HERE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS STRUCTURE EXISTED BEFORE ADAM AND EVE.... APPARENTLY MADE BY "FARMERS" WHO CREATED THEMSELVES AND EXISTED BEFORE YAHWEH CREATED THE EARTH.
sKeLeTuN!!
Different people have different timing and concept of how old the earth and everything is (Islam, Chinese, Jewish etc) however one day either God ends the earth or man causes it to die... God will remain then your thoughts of something existing before Yahweh would be laughed at unfortunately you won't be laughing.
IsraelOA: What is the Christian view on gay marriage? Are spiritual gifts biblical? Can Christians drink alcohol? These are some of the topics that often cause heated controversy within the church today. Christians take very different opinions on these issues and both sides refer to Scripture to support their views. Discernment is certainly necessary, even among a group of believers in today's culture. Whatever your views on each of these topics, hopefully reading this list of the areas where the church often experiences division will encourage us as Christ-followers to strive for unity within our own churches and even across denominations, because although there is much division and controversy among the broader church, there are also core doctrines that unite us.
1. GAY MARRIAGE Gay marriage and whether it should be allowed in the church is certainly at the top of the list of modern-day controversial subjects. One need not search current headlines for long to find evidence of this controversy.
This issue has caused division among many denominations. The Presbyterian Church (USA) supports it, while the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and others do not support it, for example.
But perhaps nowhere is the controversy surrounding this issue more prevalent than in the Anglican Church. In recent years (and even months), the Anglican Church has softened its stance toward gay marriage and gay priests, but there is still much oppostion. Some have called on the church to be more welcoming of LGBT individuals, some go so far as supporting gay clergy and granting them the rights to perform same-sex marriages, while others remain firmly committed to the traditional definition of marriage. The United Methodist Church is experiencing controversy over this issue. You can read more about it here.
2. ABORTION At first, one might think this subject is not so controversial within the church as it is between those in the church and those without. However, as a recent Pew Research Center study shows, those who claim to be religious yet don't associate themselves with a particular denomination actually are mostly in favor of abortion, with only 17 percent opposing it.
Still, a majority of Christians are pro-life, but the subject remains a controversial one within the church, especially when it comes to the argument that pro-life should mean more than simply "pro-birth."
3. WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP The issue of women teaching/preaching in church can quickly become heated. Again, more conservative denominations tend to be against women in leadership roles, while more liberal denominations tend to accept it. Recently, there has been a particular crisis on this issue with the rise of Christian women bloggers. The online presence and followers these women have is substantial and has caused some within Christianity to question their authority, even though they are not preaching/teaching in a traditional church setting.
4. TYPE OF WORSHIP MUSIC Contemporary or traditional? Hymns or modern worship songs? This is definitely an issue that tends to spark debate within many churches. It's often even a deciding factor when someone chooses a church to belong to. This issue also tends to divide believers between older and younger generations.
Even certain instruments can be controversial. A drum set might not be considered acceptable in some churches, while another church may have an entire praise band with a full range of instruments.
Some churches have attempted to resolve the controversy by using both traditional and contemporary songs intermixed during their worship services or even providing two different services--one more traditional and one more modern.
5. SPIRITUAL GIFTS Although spiritual gifts are mentioned several times in the New Testament, different church denominations have different interpretations of what it truly means to have and use a spiritual gift.
The spiritual gift of speaking in tongues tends to be the most controversial of any spiritual gift. While Pentecostals fully affirm this spiritual gift, other denominations have gone so far as so say that speaking in tongues is offending the Holy Spirit.
Other Christians embrace spiritual gifts and even encourage congregants or church staffers to take spiritual gift tests to see where they are best equiped to serve.
6. BAPTISM Although practically all churches practice baptism, baptism rituals in different denominations not only vary in practice but in theology. There has been a heated debate within the church for centuries on whether the Bible promotes infant or only believer baptism.
More liturgical churches even tend to give the impression that baptism is essential for salvation, while others don't seem to put a lot of weight on it. Some churches also baptize infants, but see it not as evidence of salvation, but rather as a commitment by the child's family and church body to bring up the child in the fear of the Lord. In this way, an infant baptism is more like a dedication of the child.
Still other churches only baptize those who are old enough to make a profession of faith of their own free will.
Chrisitans also have opinions on how and where baptisms should take place--by sprinkling of water, by pouring water on someone, or by full immersion.
7. POLITICS FROM THE PULPIT Should ministers talk about politics or endorse a specific political party or view from the pulpit?
Churchgoers have very different views on the subject, but the controversy isn't confined to the church. Several months ago, President Trump signed an executive order ceasing enforcement of the Johnson Amendment, which prohibited a church, as a nonprofit entity, from endorsing and promoting a particular political party or candidate. Many championed the executive order, saying that it gave churches more religious freedom, but others maintained that siding with a certain political party is not something a church should be doing.
8. ALCOHOL Can Christians drink alcohol? This question opens up all kinds of debate within the church. Many churchgoers believe Christians should completely stay away from alcohol, bars, and anything that has to do with drinking since the Bible condemns drunkenness and instructs Christ-followers to be sober-minded.
Other churchgoers, however, believe that consuming alcohol in moderation is not a sin. These Christians often argue their point from 1 Corinthians 8 in which the Apostle Paul says to "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak." Many take this to mean, by the context surrounding it, that drinking alcohol is permitted, but Christians should be careful not to cause someone who is prone to alcohol abuse or someone who believes it is a sin, to stumble in his/her faith by seeing another Christian drinking.
A church's views on alcohol can even be seen sometimes in the worship service; some churches use grape juice for Communion, while others use wine.
Apologies, none of these is an issue of controversy. We haven't study the word or clear the grey areas that's why you see them as controversial. Thank you
The most painful thing for me about this woman's talk is the fact she could come and say it to us honestly am pained. This is the highest form of insult how can someone say this to Nigerians are we that stupid or foolish. Honestly anyone that believes what she said must attend shiloh this night. It was staged and you didn't talk since, dss didn't talk since, Presidency didn't talk then why was dss dragging a man on bail. Kai if this woman was my relative she would not like what I will tell her. She should her stupidity truly but the fact she believes we will believe it is a great insult to me
Lotel: Why isn't dunsin oyekan on that list? Na soso unpopular songs full there..
My spirit brother... That list is as fake as a certain president's certificate. At least 3 of dunsin songs should be here, tope Alabi aye mi leto, at least 2 of Shola Allyson, no Chioma, et al. Infact op is suppose to close this thread cos it's fake and false
fordgreen: I live in Minna oh, is it not this same road I passed that is really bad Where did they snap this pictures from?? I came from Abuja just over a week ago oh
Bros Bros Kai like say make I buy ostrich bread for you to take drink thick shai. You dey mind op, the guy just vex me with all this talk. Really upset
Banter1: Stop deceiving the public. Lolo is not working. worst governor since the creation of the state.
My brother I don't even know how to pray for you. May God bless you, may you never stumble. All these people that can't speak truth cos of favor. It's their type that has not made Nigeria develop. Rubbish. So very annoying. Like say make I slap the guy
Adverts247: Even as it is a federal road, the Niger State Government in the past few weeks has come under immense pressure on the issue of Minna-Suleja road.
Well aware that the Federal Government has made it clear that it will no longer payback any state government that fixes federal roads, still Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has gone ahead with the construction of the road.
Today the Lambata-Kwakuti section which before now takes well over an hour to travel, is now at the highest possible standard.
The Niger State Government has further awarded the same company the contract to continue work from Kwakuti to Chanchaga. Work has fully resumed and has currently reached Gangare village.
The Niger State Government is determined to complete the reconstruction of the over 80km of road so as to ease travel from Suleja to Minna.
#LoloIsWorking
Haba y are we like this in Nigeria did they swear for us. Someone will see this pictures now and believe like one igbo guy who commented second. Please don't be deceived by all these. No road in Niger state is good. They repair it each year nothing to write home about. Why is op snapping some good sections and saying Lolo is working. Why not show us city gate towards COE, chanchaga road, show paiko to chanchaga, Minna to bida, Kontangora to minna. I hate all these sycophantic behavior, nothing has been done in many years. No one will ply minna suleja road and tell you anything good about it. Let's learn to be truthful and do it without fear of favor. Nothing is working, no one is working. The only roads that are good are within minna most of which talba (former governor) did so don't let me vex with your Lolo is working. Meanwhile if you insult me I have a track record of not responding because I don't have time or stupidity to respond
A number of notable individuals from Africa have been awarded the honor of the Nobel Prize.
5 Nobel Laureates From Africa Statues in Cape Town commemorate famous South Africans, some of whom have received the Nobel Prize. Photo credit: Circumnavigation
The Nobel Prize is awarded each year to celebrate achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology/Medicine, Literature, and Peace. Of these, several are from the African continent. South Africa's Max Theiler was the first African to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1951. In 1960, Albert Luthuli of South Africa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the first black African to win a Nobel Prize. In 1991, Nadine Gordimer of South Africa became the first white African woman to win a Nobel Prize when she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 2004, Wangari Maathai of Kenya was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize becoming the first black African woman to win a Nobel Prize. 5. Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela became the first black South African president in 1994 until 1999 when he retired. He was born on July 18, 1918, in Umtata, South Africa. He pursued law at the University of the Witwatersrand. However, he faced much discrimination in the predominantly white school. With Frederik Willem de Klerk, Mandela was the co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize 1993 for staging a peaceful demonstration against the apartheid regime and offering a platform for a democratic South Africa. Mandela remained a philanthropist throughout his life and in 2008, in his 90th birthday celebration, he asked the rich to extend a hand to the poor people around the world. Mandela died on December 5, 2013, at his home with his family surrounding him. A state funeral was held on December 15 and was attended by more than ninety heads of states and government from all over the world.
4. Kofi Annan Kofi Atta Annan served as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1997 until 2006. He was born on April 8, 1938, in Kofandros, Ghana. He was schooled at the Methodist School before proceeding to the Kumasi College of Science and Technology to study a course in economics. He later studied at Macalester College in Minnesota, United States. UN and Annan jointly received the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for his dedication to human rights.
3. Albert Luthuli Albert Luthuli was a South African politician who served as the President of the African National Congress (ANC) after his election in 1952. The ANC fought against discrimination from the white minority government in the country. Albert Luthuli was born in 1898 and died on July 21, 1967, in an accident. After completing his teaching course, he taught at a primary in Blaausboch, Natal as the principal and the only teacher. Luthuli was elected to the committee of ANC a year after joining the body. The following year he organized non-violent campaigns together with other ANC members to hurl defiance at the discriminatory laws introduced by the minority government. In 1960, Luthuli received the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to nonviolent campaigns against the apartheid.
2 Wangari Maathai Wangari Maathai was a Kenyan environmentalist born on April 1, 1940. She attended the University of Pittsburgh in the USA as well as the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Wangari founded the Green Belt Movement in 1997, a non-profit organization engaged in women rights advocacy, tree planting and the protection of the environment. After receiving the Right Livelihood Award in 1984, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 and became the first woman from Africa to receive such award for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy, and peace. She passed away in the year 2011 from cancer.
1. Wole Soyinka
Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian poet and playwright born on July 13, 1934. He studied both in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, after which he got a job with the Royal Court Theatre in London. Here, he wrote plays. He taught at different universities including Harvard, Yale, and Oxford. Soyinka received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 in the field of literature. Among his works are Mandela’s Earth poem, essays such as Dialogue and Outrage, and A Voyage Around Essay.
I thought Bishop Desmond Tutu is also a noble prize winner
iamleumas: Meet The Nigerian Corps Member Who Invents A Solar-powered Vaccine Cooler
Man’s world can be best described as a system that comprises of several episodes of problems and challenges and technology has always proven to supply cutting-edged solutions to aid the smooth running of lives and activities, thereby making life and living more suitable and interesting.
A brilliant project was carried out by Aderogba Timothy Ayooluwa, KB/18C/0814 who served with the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development, Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State. As a graduate of Mechanical Engineering, he stated that he had his option in Energy Technology, and some years of experience in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning). This cumulated to spurring him towards undergoing the project after he discovered the dire need in the community he was posted to serve.
According to Timothy, the National Programme on Immunisation (NPI), Birnin Kebbi Office had been trying their very best in meeting up with the Immunization needs of the community. They are however often limited in their reach; as these vaccines easily lose some potency before the immunization exercise is fully covered due to temperature. He discovered this problem when he was assigned by his Group Community Development Service (Editorial CDS) to cover the Health news bit during the immunization exercise held in February 2019.
Timothy came to the realization that there is the need to have a system to keep the vaccines at the desired cold temperature over a longer period of time; and this led him to start the project.
The Vaccine Cooler he named “TimseVac” would be useful for the purpose of vaccination outreach; especially to local and remote areas.
The Project was tested at the National program on Immuization Birnin Kebbi Office on Friday, Sept. 13, 2019; and it was officially commissioned on Monday, Sept. 16, 2019 at the State Secretariat Conference Hall, Gwadangaji, Birnin-Kebbi. Dignitaries, including representative of the NYSC Zonal Inspector and Local Inspector, were present at the occasion.
Everything about this is just exciting until I got to the last paragraph. Why do we like celebrating mediocrity in Nigeria. If it was BBN now we will all be there, them remove Eagles from world cup we will welcome them at the airport and so many other irrelevant things. Now someone made a landmark achievement it was only celebrated by dignitaries, something that should be a national thing with immediate employment and scholarship. Meanwhile someone spent 99 days doing nonsense and got 60 million. I swear ehn most of us in Nigeria are mad something very potent and deadly is affecting our brain. I wish I can slap somebody now. Worst of all, the ZI (ZGI) and LI (LGI) can can't even attend but sent representative. Kai I am just livid right now
