kyrian omang: well.i am a committed christian havn't paid tithe before in my life and yet,God anwers all my needs.i only believe in holiness and doing God.don't have a permanent church but only worshipped with any living church.tithe for me is a christian obligation which is as old as sacrificing animals to God

Yes, he answers all your needs. But do you know if he would have answered you even more than your own human expectations if you had included thithing ? What we don't know about God is more than we know.

fyneguy: Fashola's action is the least he could do to promote democracy. Don't look at it from the angle of the governor's forum relevance but the bad precedence this seeks to lay which could be re-enacted in other important matters. We should spare no resources to checkmate anti-democratic forces and their machinations.

Thanks so much for this intelligent reasoning. May God increase your wisdom.

if 35 state executives cannot conduct a free and fair election between themselves, I wonder what 2015 will look like. [/quote

You're right as the hand writing of 2015 election is on the wall

A man with a deep Baritone voice by th name Kirk Anthony of SMOOTH FM passed away last 9ite.........So sad#tributetokirk

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

darealez: If he did make any comment we'll be the first to critize him. Won't it be better if he kept silent and prayed in secrecy for the improvement of the nation??

I'm not realy sure if the noisy ones has really made any positive impact since inception :-(

darealez, The Lord Almighty shall give you allround successes. God Almighty shall bless you in a way that trascends all human
reasoning and imagination. How I wished his critics would repent and also think rightly like this. I have not understood how human beings can be satisfied. Eniyan soro, won ko si see te lorun.

https://punch.iwayafricanigeri.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Pastor-Enoch-Adeboye-360x225.jpgGeneral Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has explained that he is careful in making public comments to avoid mistakes.

In an interview with Haaretz newspaper during a visit to Jerusalem, Adeboye said he had shied away from speaking out on national issues in order to avoid influencing people in the wrong way.

He also said he was aware of the enormous responsibility on his shoulders as the leader of a global church with millions of members.

“At times it’s frightening. In Africa you have a saying, the man who is carrying a basket of eggs must walk gently … whatever mistakes you make, you affect destinies,” he said.

Adeboye stated that his transformation from a Mathematics lecturer at the University of Lagos to a pastor was a divine call, noting that he has a mandate to preach peace everywhere he goes.

“I’ve always said turning a mathematician into a pastor takes only God. In my work with God, I’ve learned that he has a sense of humour,” he stated.

The pastor, who has led the RCCG for three decades, arrived for a meeting at the Dan Jerusalem Hotel, surrounded by an entourage of eight loyal aides, who treated him with the awe normally reserved for heads of state, the paper said.

Speaking on the growing global influence of African preachers, he said the seeds sowed by missionaries who brought Christianity to Africa were producing fruit.

“When you reap, after a certain period you begin to sow. Today, in many parts of the Western world, people have gone rather cold toward the church. Fortunately, the seed sowed in Africa has germinated and the harvest is now coming back to them. So, they are merely reaping what they sowed.

THE PUNCH

Excellent , Baba may the Almighty keep increasing your divine wisdom. Amen!

Eko Ile: We posted some great news about the state adopting and empowering youths just yesterday.

There are over 17 skills acquisition centers in Lagos state empowering youths with credible skills and business loans after graduation.

We have farm clusters all over Lagos state, we bought thousands of acres in Ogun and other states for farming

We just commissioned a 20,000 ton rice mill

Lagos state Agric institute is the most functional in Nigerian next to IITA.

Though power supply is still off limits to any entity beyond the useless and incompetent FG, but Lagos state is the only government capable of guaranteeing any non stop power supply to it's institutions, public facilities and listed streets.

We just posted another great news about Lagos state giving out over 4,000 houses by the end of the year. We've build more houses than any government in the history of Nigeria.

The state has nothing to do with communications in Nigeria, that's for your worthless and incompetent FG.


Try keep up with news and current affairs..

I am extremely happy hearing this from you. Ni agbara Olorun Eko o ni baje. Gbogbo wa ni a o si je ere ibe. Amin.

nenergy: Aren't you tired of hearing about murder,explosion and general bad news. This is good news!

You're just too good.

mr_man: Over working sef dey worry Fashola. Eko o ni baje joor.

I like your statement, the guy is too good. He uses his political will correctly. Eko o ni baje.

Ijogz K: A review at the issuance of our working permit is extremely needed.. Who approved their Visa self?

Dem get greencard?

You're absolutely right. Most Indians too don't have work permit in Nigeria and are the Lords of the second time slave trading in Nigeria and they remain unchecked by our intentionally will lacking, attention-diverted and lackadaisical government who at the expense of the masses, in order to enrich their own pockets,sold our citizens into the hands of these expatriates all in the name of the so called investments. Lebanese and Indians need to be deported to their countries.

Zain was so fair and nice with both the customer and staff untill Airtel came on board. Working with zain we saw a bright future ahead of us but when the Indians(Airtel) came on board ,everything looked bleak with no prospect in view again. They looked at Nigeria as a place of no law where they could quickly make their money and settle home finally . They are all technical students from their land and were boses to even the masters and the doctorates students here . On their arrival, 6 of them would eat from a plate at the canteen and when they discovered money with the calls we were picking as Customer Care Representatives, they felt we should be laid off for more gains.

Just immediately after Airtel Indians took over from Zain that they started the plan to frustrate and lay off all contract staff working as Customer Care Representative. They stated the frusration by wanting to reduce our salary from : N 74,000 to N 29,000 in the current city of Abuja. This happened all in 2011 September and also by increasing the work hours from 5:45hours to 8hrs without considering the corresponding health hazard (permanent deafening effect resulting from acoustic shock due to some emissions from the network signal via headsets ). This acoustic shock permanently blocked some agents from hearing till today despite attending many hospitals in Nigeria and elsewhere. Apart from acoustic shock health treath, a lot of agents started having eye problem due to long exposure to the screen ultraviolet rays as a result of long working ours. With all these, the Indians still went ahead to stop our health scheme .

An incident that led to an aftermath riot was a sudden closure of the call centre on September 2011 without any prior notice. We then organized a rally round Abuja ,then Nigeria Labour ,the National Assembly and the Lagos state government all rose to our rescue and we started work; but Indians will ever remain Indians with their slavery mentality. As we were working they started entering our government offices to find their ways out and both parties begin to smile at the staff expense.

In 2012 they rolled out forms and called it Voluntry Retirement Scheme(VRS) and they relocated their call centre from. Abuja to Ibadan. The term voluntry in their own case implies 'compulsory' or 'mandatory'.They forced every one to collect the form and they laid every one off and paid the staffs off according to their years of service including all the team leads trained by Zain Network . And ask me how much the team leads were paid not to talk of their agents.
If you're very observant these days, if you call Airtel call centres, a starter who will do trial and error will answer you. They did not allow them to board with old agents to learn as the old ones with experience have been laid off. The job requires a lot of expertise which one gains in the process of time.
Despite my working for 3 years with commendations from Zain HR, there were still a lot to learn from the network as a frontline agent. I wonder how a good manager would loose consultants with many years expertise .
Nigerian government is causing a lot of harms to her citizens. The funniest thing there is that The two main call centers in Lagos and Abuja were both closed and up to 3000+ youths were silently asked to go.

The topic under which I posted this comment only reminds me of how Nigerians are suffering in their own father land from the hands of foreigners, an extent no African can go in Abroad. Nigerians working as contract staffs are suffering in banks , expatriate companies and even some indigenous factories/worplaces , call centres and lots of others, just to mention a few. Where is this country going?

Dee60: Nigerians actually saw GEJ as a good person, until he surrounded himself with strange fellows. He still has exactly 2 years to redeem his image.

Hmmm...If I were Goodluck Jonathan I would impress Nigerians hence forth by delievering on my mandate within the remaining 2 years by working assiduously.

SlyIg: So so childish!

Exactly.

Gamji007: Abati is a product of same sex marriage - Says Femi Fani Kayode





Its so unfortunate the kind of vulga and irresponsible words emanating from 'elders' in our society, especially from the presidency. People that we,the youths should look up to as role models happen to be vagabons . Even the president saying words that should be censored on a National broadcast (I don't give a damn), Haba!

With this kind of comments,I advise parents to make sure newspapers are kept out of reach of children.

Gamji007, I really adore you with this comment. As a Nigerian youth too, your comment moved me. I didn't expect Reuben Abati to be saying this. How can there be politics without opposition? Fashakin too may not be doing so well in his utterances, but Abati could could have taken it easy.

obadiah777: THE LORD DID THAT

I believe it's getting to the time that every one will get closer to God. Anything that happens physically had already happened spiritually; believe it or leave it. Even old parents used to say this. I could remember that on the 1st January of this year, the church I attended, among the prophesies given were that of building collapse and that brethren should pray against this. I just start to recall the prophesy now when building collapses start happening . May the Almighty keep us safe at all times.

izeek: when would we begin to get things right as a nation?

By the time our wicked leaders turn the entire populace to scavengers and finally turns Naija to 14th century.

Yomieluv: if that's the case, they should all be killed then, to prevent transmission of the deadly diseases

I don't believe that someone could think and write this. So it means that if someone complains head ache to you, you will advice the person to cut off his head. Na wa oh...

Okija juju: Empty threats...

So after f`ucking up his State, he wants the rest of us peaceful Nigerians to fund the treating of his f`uck ups abi?! HELLS NO!!

The Money for the State should be used to fund the SOE. Only civil servants should be paid. All non-key government personnel, aides, assistants, advisers, consultants, e.t.c should be suspended without pay pending the outcome of the SOE. The Governor should also vacate the Government house so the Army can use it as a base of operation.

I love your nice comment. May God increase your wisdom.

pulel: Before u asked y jonaboy hate d north so much, pls ask d northern governors y d hate d north so much. Wat has nyako done for d money he' s been allocated so far. He iis cryin now cos he wont have govt money at his disposal to waste. A beg, leave jona leave. For once he is acting like a presido. If nyako has been doin his job, adamawa wont b in where it is rite now. Let us hold our local/state leaders responsable before getting to d final oga at d top.

You've spoken a hard truth and if no one likes it, I personally love your reasoning . At times, instead of people seeing with their eyes, they rather see with their feet. I support you.

bobthebuilder99: What have the Northern governors been doing with their monthly allocations anyway?

Bros na enjoyment dem dey take the monthly allocation dey do at the detriment of their people. They must travel outside the shore of this country thrice in each month to Dubai and Co. with their people suffering and not challenging them.

Na women dey quick fall that kind fall. Only God know the kind spirit wey dey dey inside women wey dey make them fall. I trust men, they always standa gidigba, no shaking.

joshua idibia: i hate thread lyk dis wtout pictures. Cos i find it hard 2 believe.

You are funny. What do you want to see in the pictures bros ?

Pedagogue:

One big fact about the UK is: No one will add 'Nigerian' to your status if you are representing the country in any capacity!
But if you dare commit a crime, your status will change from 'British' to 'British Nigerian' or 'Nigerian descent'- even if you've never been to Nigeria!

Nevertheless,

We should ask ourselves why other countries in Africa have not 'produced' Abdulmuttalab and Dese 2 'Michael's'!!! And pls, don't tell me it's a fallout of the big size of the country!!! If its abt size then China or India ought to have produced millions of terrorists!

2 narrow things down,Many naija parents (home and abroad) now spend more time hustling than bringing up their kids.
This is what you get when u don't have properly brought up children!!!
If you don't Instill the right values in your children at their formative years,d devil will !

I support your factual comment 100%.

nekaa: Wow... Most of us ain't half as grateful as she is...

yes you're right. God is forever great.

emmysenior: Dis is wetin am wanting to hearing walahi! JTF make you killing dem finish well well. Mr plesident! No stopping to killing dem o.
It's like dem JTF is among of my mind o, that am wanting to hie this kaind of news. Killing alla dem finishing.

Chief grammarian of the year. I dey feel you.

Benissues: These pics gets me tinkin n laffin!!...on hw life have evolved!!.......happy viewing!!

I like the post. As at then, Nigeria's economy was O.K and people were living fine. There were jobs and a lot of hopes. When our Naira had value.

ebamma: The people who bought and consumed the drugs should also be jailed for their stupidity, u see drug were the name be my pikin u still get mind buy am go take

So you mean that's how upside down your own judgement is. So you're saying innocent consumers should be jailed for what they know nothing about. Tell me what stupidity you have found in them. Kindly modify your comment, it's not good enough.

craigj: Its only in Nigeria you get to see Government officials having a pack of security personnels attached to them. Can you imagine a speaker with four aides? I can bet its even more than that cos the wife and children's aides havn't been added.

Since they know what the work of their hand is.

iwanchop: If the presidency could invest the power its using to harass Amaechi on the Boko Haram guys their insurgency would have been a thing of the past.
Just look at the speed at which the presidency is handling Amaechi's issue,if they did same for Nigeria the numerous problems confronting the nation would have been solved

Jonathan leaves leprosy and starts treating ring worm( O fi ete sile, o n pa lapalapa ). Misplacement of priorities.

~Bluetooth:
Power corrupts people.When you are outside the corridor of power,you feel the person occupying that seat of power is bad but when you get there,you become the best villain around.

Gowon never wanted to leave power until Murtala kicked his butt out of power.Babangida promised to return to civilian rule until he became unpopular and had to succumb to the cries of the people after after 8 years in power.Abacha did all he could but ended up dying in power.Obj wanted 3rd term by all means but he failed because the NASS won't compromise.Yardau despite all odds and manipulations by his closest pals,he died.

One would have expected an opportunist like jonathan to accept the will of God and let things happen naturally but here he is;victimizing people by using the instrument of power he accused turai and tilde of denying him to intimidate people who oppose him.what goes around comes around.

There is a God is charge of payback,Jonathan should learn from the past.Nothing lasts forever.

I believe your words. Nothing lasts forever except God Almighty.

holyvirgin: Shatapp there mr man, I thought u were different? What happened to fashocrooks billions? Monies belonging to poor lagosians that he has embezzeled? Tinubu fa?

Non partisan man indeed. Talk another thing jare

So you mean he should rather be praised and thanked for stealing. Do you even understand his comment at all? May be you need to go through it once again.
