smokinloud: Read my comment from the very beginning, My point is that the Church is planned by Christ to be self-sufficient. SELF-SUFFICIENCY and not individuals being controlled by the government. In Economic term COOPERATIVE CAPITALISM not SOCIALISM. The motive of contributing 100% percent was not for buildings only but for the general welfare of the church. If you think it's okay for governments to set up mosques, I don't have problem with that. My concern is that the church should be self-sufficient out of politician influence. Preaching the gospel from the time of Jesus up till now has always involved money. CHRISTIANITY needed an Emperor (a rich man who controls the economy) to become accepted in Europe what makes you think that the gospel can be preached without money?. What the hell made you think so?.
self-sufficiency by the church has led to outright greed and covetousness. even if with money, it should be a collective effort, just as the Catholic faith, but unfortunately it has been abused by the present day so called preachers as a means of enrichment. should it be personalized as the case is in our society presently?.
What the hell should make you assume the church can not thrive without money. The root of all evil..! What does God need our money for. Even our praise, how does it help him.? Now at the detriment of the wretched poor masses dispossessing them by enriching themselves in diguise that the church needs money. For what! That’s stealing
smokinloud: The reason why Nigeria will never practice SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM. What the hell are you saying?. The church that JESUS built was built on the foundation of the apostles not on government. A group of ISLAMISTS can not be dictating what pastors should or should not preach in Nigeria in the name of SOCIALISM.
Matthew 16:18 [18]And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
as a Catholic, yes all correct. Building a place of worship is a collective effort by groups of individuals. Should be a no man’s property. Now the government are setting up a mosque, what’s wrong? Group of Individual or govt. yes!. Is it until one man posses all the church assets to be his , then it will be seen as the way to go? What’s that!
And how has preaching got to do with this? What the hell are you thinking …here!
Nonexisting1: If (s)he commits crime now, (s)he will carry all that her surgically enhanced body to male prison. Sex starved niggas there will be waiting for shim like this.
Glimpsetv: A transgender woman has taken to social media to call out the Donald Trump administration for changing her gender to male on her new passport.
According to her, all her official documents had already been updated to reflect her female identity, and she had also undergone full surgical transition. She shared an image of her new passport, which displayed her name, Perysian Zaya Mehki, but listed her sex as "M" (Male), despite the photo showing her as a woman.
Reading from the email she received regarding the change, she quoted: “The sex was corrected on your passport application. The changes were made for one of the following reasons to match our records.”
She went on to explain that she had a passport as a child, which listed her gender as male. Based on this, she claimed that if a person previously had a passport reflecting a particular sex, the government would revert to that sex regardless of any legal or medical transitions made later.
Frustrated by the situation, she announced her intention to take legal action against the government. She also shared her email, inviting legal experts who could assist her in challenging the decision.
Stating that she is now a fully transitioned adult with no male characteristics, she expressed deep concern over the dangers this incorrect gender marker could pose while traveling. She alleged that the administration was deliberately targeting transgender individuals, attempting to intimidate them and push them out of public life.
However, she declared that she would not be silenced or forced into hiding. Instead, she vowed to fight back, asserting that this action was a direct violation of her rights as an American citizen under the Equal Rights Amendment.
yean1: Reading through the comments show the hypocrisy of Nigerians especially on religious matters.
3 months ago, the same Kebbi government proposed to renovate and reconstruct 50+ churches in Kebbi but you guys hail praises on the governor, now when it's time to consolidate that on the mosques in Kebbi state, the government is useless.
For 8 years, the last governor of the state Sen Atiku Bagudu did not donate a single block to mosques in the state rather he kept donating to church، christian organization and even paying debt for the Christian organizations. Then the comments focuses on "How the Kebbi government promote peaceful relationship among the major Abrahamic religion". If such support have been render to Islam, I can't imagine what the comments would have been.
I am so happy someone like this is coming out to speak out the truth. Anything religious should be state or government related. They way people so condemn the Islamic religion is so unfair. As if it isn’t humans who know what thy are doing that chose the lifestyle for themselves just as the others do.
Harnny: This is utterly nonsense. Religious expenses should be a personal decision not that of the state.
if to be a personal thing, that obviously at the expense of the poor masses. Should that be the best way to go?. Now becoming a one man’s business/property? Their Priorities should be set right, that all. If they have set their priorities right, then I don’t think they are doing anything wrong. Imagine if the kind of churches in the south are as many in the north, many northerners would have been dead by now from constant demands and donations by the church upon how poor they are. Check it out na. God no dey sleep…
smokinloud: Jesus has made his church to be self-sufficient ( the church and not individuals). That's why I'm pained when true Christians criticise tithing. Tithing is one of the factors that's propagating Christianity in Nigeria. We don't have incentives outside of the church compared to Muslims. Even when offered incentives the church ought to reject it. Christianity is never meant to be state religion. Individualism is a foundational value of the church even before the West copied it.
It is the state that should be responsible for religious affairs by setting it up for God to be honored if they have fear of God. If the state can’t affor enough of it, people can contribute willingly and it be for the general public, travelers, all and sundry. Tithing is unscriptural. Propagating the Gospel is not needed. Those who will worship will do so and they should know where to go. That is why so called pastors build church and it ends up being part of their property as family wealth. It is wrong. It Should be the responsibility of the state to do so. Religion is a public affair not personal affair
ArinzeAnthony03: State government is renovating mosque... Northern people self... In South people build there church not government...this is pure corruption.
this can’t be corruption. Is for a one man to build a place of worship to now personal it as a family asset that isn’t corruption?
realmindz: Take it or leave it, Islam is a crime against humanity
understand you very well from angles but please don’t generalize it. It’s an unfair stigma. Islam is Legit. The extremists are the problems in regards to the religious belief.
The feelings an average human will get understanding Islam, if one isn’t learned on grounds of rational thinking, self control and reasoning comes about the extremist.
whysquare4real: what you said is the absolute truth. I paid 1050 naira back then in Unilorin and right now I don't have a job. I can't find any despite having 2 BSc and an MSc. I have delved into biz for now sha
you haven’t used the 1st one to get a job, you yet added another, inclusive masters. Who does that.!
The only one degree (b.sc) I have haven’t favored me for the past 15 years now. I packed academics
APOPTOSIS: You can't be trusted, hence the reason. The statistics for greed among Nigerians is almost 💯
hmmm, yea that’s true. You indeed have a point there no doubts. Even though certainly not all, but on what kinda proof actually can be a grounds for trust…another disadvantage.
But sincerely if you can, I wouldn’t mind if we could strike deals if possible. Cos am very much available & I know myself 💯 with a crossed heart. You could be helping someone out there you know
Prophets wont tell you things that are already documented and established as facts.
Torah was a widely read book with information that Muhammed plagiarized unless, you deny its existence before Mohammed
Lemme break it down to you.
Its like a Nigerian Prophet saying that Nelson Mandela of South Africa once existed and began to say equivocally that all written about him is false....Is it not laughable??
The red flags there are as follows:
1. It had been established and documented already, so, its not a prophesy
2. People that knew Nelson had already written and documented his Biography, his struggles, Language, Friends, Families etc So no need of someone in far away land of Nigeria that doesn't speak Zulu language and lived like 600 years after to now say he is prophesying about him. It has all shades of FALSE PROPHESY BOLDLY WRITTEN ON IT.
3. God will not contradict Himself
4. In the comity of Prophets, Mohammed was in the lowest rung, like a Councilor in the comity of Presidents, Prophets Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah et al are all more pronounced that the Man that said he splitted the moon
4. Lastly, who are Muhammed antecedents, his ancestors that are Prophets or Priest, what covenant did God promised his kinsmen that he was carrying out?
all you have said about the prophet Mohammed contradicts the holy books of the Quran. The plagiarism led aspects you mentioned isn’t what it is in the real sense. It only takes God to do things unbelievable and unimaginable. And that was what exactly happened in his case. He was from the root of Ishmael. Do yourself a favor, read the Bible from beginning to the end (being the Old Testament and the New Testament). Being Judaism and Christianity in one! after which the holy Quran, without being sentimental or biased about either. You will get the true picture of what indeed you are trying to analyze. That’s the best I can say. Anything asides this, you will never want to accept otherwise to what you already claim you know.
realmindz: Until the world leaders brace up and condemn Islam as a terrorist religion Ban it completely and prosecute anybody caught teaching it or practicing it
Islam is a crime against humanity
any average Muslim will definitely be feeling uncomfortable at this statement. It is not an offense to be a Christian, why should being a Muslim be an offense
KnowledgePower7: You just typed emotional jargon bro.. Unfortunately for you, there is nothing you can do to prevent it. Your view ends online. In real life Sharia law court is here to stay in South West Wail all you like
Just as Christianity is struggling to breath in the Northern part of the country same as Islam in the southern part of the country. Southwest is not the only region that are against it. It’s south generally. Na southerners get south.! Na northerners get north.! So therefore, they can not face the resistance. It will be hard for them! Religion is not by force. everyone should practice theirs quietly. South is a sensitive region for Islamic matters just as north is a sensitive region on Christianity matters. Let’s be guided for the sake of peace.
Nnamdipapa: Which money? I have not set my eyes on money in a long time. We pay with cards. Are you saying I should give my card?
Will you give your card when your wife has a room filled with designer bags? More than 40 pairs of shoes? Over 10 gold wrist watches and still shopping for more? She is constantly shopping and you call me aka gum?
go shopping alone then. Going as pair isn’t the way to go obviously since you don’t trust her to do what you both can agree on
Nnamdipapa: So, I was in Walmart to pick up some items. We had already made a list before leaving home of what to buy. As a busy guy, I always like to stick to the list and the budget. After getting everything we came for, she suddenly remembered she had to buy herbal tea and some other items that weren’t on the list.
I stood waiting around while she wandered through the store, looking to add more items to our list. Why is it that women find it hard to stick to a shopping list and budget? This makes me angry, and it’s not the first time. Every time we go shopping, we end up wasting time.
I’ve also heard a couple of friends complain about this same issue. Ladies, women, you need to stop this habit—it drives us men up the wall!
must you both go out on a shopping together? Like I don’t get. Are you tied with a string or something. Why not just dish out funds for the (shopping) list and allow her do her thing in peace. It is just like waiting for a woman to finish dressing up. You go wait tire. Make sure she is done and ready before you begin preparations as you well know yours will be just in few minutes to get yourself in order. Be tactical in some approach for the purpose of peace of mind
Yet we have some people saying USA should get out. Their masters (politicians) dare not say so because they’re the ones that enjoy these aids the most.
A large sum of these funds if investigated were looted.
and the nation is still facing terrible debt servicing. This is unbelievable.
If Sharia by chance comes into the South in general, then the Hausa/Fulanis have finally conquered. Their agenda achieved!. This will cause more harm than good on the long run… everything will be imposed on us as time goes bye and will affect every other person aside Muslims. Religion is not by force. Nigeria is not a country of one religious system. No religion has a right to claim full dominance. Just as Christianity is barely Surviving in the North, same as Islam should be in the south. South is big enough. No one is complaining.
Whoever wants sharing matter should refer self to North
so your gender should be beaten up shouldn’t be the rubbish. It is beautiful this way. At least it has spiced up the norm of the other way round… at least una minds supposed calm down small now
I heard it happened in the U.K, i guess we all know why he acted that weak
He'd not wanna risk it all, as this is as good as a bait from the wife to win it all
Either ways, he really has to find a way to separate from her, else, see you, see death
very understandable. But still, the woman can get him implicated and lie on him by false allegations. Some Women can be terrible. That guy is in trouble. The love and affection is obviously no more. How that kind man pr*ck wan take charge for the wan again…! Or maybe he was married by the woman to be used and dumped afteral… He better just escapes with the little he can afford to. If not, e go bad for am las,las…
Ehismarkninetee: I was introduced to Tramadol in 2015 because I complained to him that I wasn’t lasting long during sex. So he prescribed Tm to me. At first I hated the feeling I just took it because it really helped with the early ejaculation.
Fast forward to 2020; I am now fully attended to this evil, it is now holding me by my neck, choking me . But I cannot seem to let go.
Tramadol has taken a lot from me; My pride, my focus, my Looks, my health, my family and most importantly my finances. I have had serious seizures that nearly took my life with my family members as witness. Now they know my situation and they are indeed very disappointed in me.
I had another seizure yesterday but the worst part of it is that it wasn’t only the seizure, I was acting demented with my clothes off. I take nothing less than 1500mg daily.
It has ruined everything because just calculate how much I have to spend for this evil everyday. For example I didn’t miss one last year 2024. It seems am now powerless to this evil. I cannot hustle anymore, I just want to take Tramadol and just lock myself indoors, all my friends have left me behind but am still living with my mum at age 31. Indeed am tired. Am really tired
I need help to stop this. I have prayed, I have tried everything. It’s not working. Please has anyone been in the situation before?? Please help me!!!!!
i know of a remedy that you will stop it completely. Whenever you see it you will feel nauseated even. But it will cost you. Ain’t free at all
TOPCRUISE: Billionaire footballer. He has wise parents and guardians who allowed him to play football outside when he was very young. He has proven that you don’t have to be a book worm to make it in life as my Nigerian parents have forced me to believe
”our” Nigerian parents.
Wonders why God should make them so. Ruined destinies..
