You people keep missing an important factor. Nigeria is not a nation. It's not about the size but national identity. Nigeria has no national identity.

The Chinese you mentioned are homogeneous people with the same language. China can be described as a nation.

US too is a perfect description of a nation.

Nigeria is a union of various nations. The type of dictatorship or system you talk about can never work in a multi national country like Nigeria.

Donbrig:
Nigerians are the problem Sir, our politicians are only helping us to further ruin our future, because our leaders are products of our decayed society. The main thing that changed in Nigeria is the way we raise our children, both in school and at home. The children we didn't train properly 15, 20, or 30yrs ago are now a big threat and burden to our society. The way a country trains their kids or young ones always have a primary role to play in the society at large, that is why I have sworn never to train my kids in Nigeria, the kind of society we have in Nigeria today is the most unfit to raise up normal and responsible children.

OgogoroFreak:
That's where you go wrong. The problem is not Nigerians. Most Nigerians travel out and automatically start doing better than they were in Nigeria. What actually changed? Think about it.

Grupo:
Smh! That Kagame approach can never work here.

Remember, the entire Rwanda may not be up to the size of ogun state.

NL1960:
They will not work because the beneficiaries are the leaders, politicians and the law makers. So they will never allow such laws. A friend of mine always say that democracy is not for developing countries like Nigeria and other Africa countries.

You need a 'mad' man to come in and clean up this mess with strong arm. Who no gree obey should be sent to Sambissa forest with a bag of dollars to spend there.

TundeKorede:
A lot of believers are oblivious to the benefits embedded in sharing testimonies in Church. Although, testimonies are not to be shared in Church alone, they can be shared at home too.

In this article, we shall examine the biblical reasons for sharing testimonies. My belief is that you will join the league of testifiers in Church after reading this blogpost.

Five Reasons Why You Need To Share Your Testimonies In Church
(1) To Strengthen The Faith Of Others

David shared the testimony of how he killed a lion and a bear with King Saul. After sharing the story, Saul’s faith in the God David served was strengthened.

1 Samuel 17:36-37
[36]Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

[37]David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the LION, and out of the PAW OF THE BEAR he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
If David didn’t share that testimony with Saul. He would not have allowed him to go and fight the Philistine. Saul knew that if a man could overcome a lion, the king of the jungle. He should be able to overcome any warrior in life.

When we share our testimonies in Church, we strengthen our faith and the faith of others. If you share the testimony of how you labored and gave birth afterwards. There are some pregnant women whose faith will be strengthened.

In other words, we boost the faith of others when we share testimonies in Church. Testimony makes people to foresee possibilities and eradicate every form of impossibilities.

(2) Jesus Expects You To Share Your Testimony
Ten lepers were healed by Jesus and only one out of them came to Jesus to share his testimony. And Jesus responded saying;

Luke 17:16-17
[16]And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
[17]And Jesus answering said, WERE THERE NOT TEN CLEANSED? BUT WHERE ARE THE NINE?

This statement explains the fact that Jesus expected all the ten healed lepers to share their testimonies. But it was only one person who came back to give thanks.

Till today, Jesus expects us to go to where we have been healed and share our testimony. He expects us to give the testimony of how he saved us. He expects us to share the testimony of how he blessed and protected us.

Do not be an ungrateful believer. When we share testimony, it shows our hearts of gratitude. It enables the Lord to know that we appreciate Him for what He has done. It is not enough to tell you friends. Go to the person God used for you and share your testimony.

After Jesus healed the madman of Gadarenes. He told him to go and testify to his people at home;

Mark 5:19
[19]Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

Be a testifier! Don’t be an ingrate!

How To Know You Are In a Wrong Relationship

(3) To Bring Many People To Christ
It was the testimony of Jesus that the Samaritan woman shared with her friends that made many to believe Christ.

John 4:39
[39]And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, WHICH TESTIFIED, He told me all that ever I did.

The woman was not an ingrate. She didn’t hide under the canopy of being a shy type of a woman. She went around and publicise the ministry of Christ. Her testimony was enough for many Samaritans to believe in Jesus.

Therefore, testimonies bring people to Christ. There are people who will never be captivated by exegesis of the Scriptures. But there are people who will be captivated by true life stories of how Christ librates men. These men need our testimony!

Never hesitate to share the testimony that will bring many to Christ. Your testimony of healing can make an unbeliever to accept Christ.

(4) It’s The Secret Of Victors
Revelation 12:11
[11]And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Victorious believers will always have testimonies to share. When David overcame Lion and a bear, he had a testimony to share. Those who want to ensure consistent dominion over the works of the devil must be consistent testifiers.

The more you share your testimonies, the more God blesses you. The more you appreciate Him before many people. The more He will continue to give you songs of praise and reasons to share testimonies.

To be a victor, you must be a consistent testifier.

Biblical Reasons Why You Should Celebrate Your Birthday

(5) To Make God’s Grace Known To People
1 Corinthians 15:9-10

[9]For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
[10]But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Paul, the apostle, shared his testimony of how God located him through grace. He maintained that everything he achieved was by the grace of God.

Testimony validates the grace of God upon our lives. We are not ascribing glory to ourselves but to God. When glory is given to God, He blesses us and sees our humility.

Paul was humble enough to ascribe his success to God’s grace. This is exactly what we do, when we share our testimonies.

Warning!!!
• No man of God is to be exalted while sharing testimony. Testimony should be shared in order to return glory to God and strengthen the faith of others.

• We don’t share testimonies to showoff but to recognize God’s grace.

• Believers should desist from sharing fabricated stories in order to stir the faith of men. Be plain and be truthful whenever you share your testimony In Church.

• It is not really polite to share a testimony of a work that is not complete. For example, there is no point sharing a testimony that you have gotten pregnant when you have not given birth. If you want to do that, do it wisely.

Lord Lugard really dealt with us in 1914 by uniting us with religiously brainwashed mammals. Now look at the cancer we are having to deal with. Meanwhile, I see a whole lot of these rich Muslims & Arabs in Europe flexing & enjoying a liberal society, and I laugh at their hypocrisy. For legal professionals to think along religious lines in a secular society like Nigeria, which has national laws just tells you that based on ideology, they are not so different from Boko Haram extremists..it's just that these northern muslim lawyers don't live & practice law in Sambisa.

Shellsploit:
Amazing decision!

Something is missing in this pictures posted of jide

Once an Idiot, always an Idiot. This man shouldn't be addressed as Mr...he is a specimen that should be kept to study foolishness. I'm sure if his father gets to see this, he wont attend his wedding even on zoom or Skype.

Just TOTAL the Number of USELESS News that permeates NAIRALAND within 24hrs, you will be swept off at such Nonsense.
What could be more heinous than this.

How can TERRIBLE PEOPLE be so concentrated in one part of the world like this....?
That's too bad.
Too many useless humans in Nigeria.
Did Nigeria sign a pact with the DEVIL...

In severe pain? I don't think so. I only feel disappointed sharing this country with some unconscious lowlifes who have sworn to forever be a stumbling block to human evolution process... Tell me why a sane 21st century human being will stand under the sun to vote in a clueless and outdated man who's only qualification is bn a retired clueless general.

Please Advice Me

Please NLs advice me, I am serving my Oga what we Igbo people call (Igba boyi) now I am saving his money mostly from profit, I want to use the money to start my business when I am settled and it has reached 1.3m but my mind is telling me to show him the money while the other mind is telling me not to show him the money.

Please advice me on this.

SmartProf:
So you alone has 2 minds and u want to add up the minds of all other Nairalanders before u will have sense on a straight forward issue. What u did is called looting, but you are lacing it with sugarcoated explanations, that's why u are battling with guilt cos u didn't obtain the money directly as a gift from your Oga. But be assured that once you show him the money, u have shown yourself the way out and he wont settle U, cos he will never believe u don't have more looted funds stocked up somewhere. Since you've taken to this and you call it proceeds from profits, u must be stable enough to handle it, but if it was stolen then karma awaits you. If you are still confused, maybe your Oga prayer points in mountain of fire has caught up with you, it's time to go for confession and restitution b4 you develop high blood pressure on the small money u looted but cannot spend it.

Condolences!

Even after He has Trained, Fed and Groomed the the Lions, they still Dealt with Him..

Seeing this, What Comes to my Mind is the Similarity between this Event and what Devil does. Some serve the devil, Sacrifice to him , do his biddings thinking they are Safe!

No Matter How Friendly or Close you are to the Devil ! No Matter How you Serve him, he will make a Meance of you, Destroy you , Deal with you and Laugh at you in Hell!

That guy is a dangerous , Heartless and Wise guy! He Has being thrown down to Earth over 6000 yrs ago..

He Knows the Bible so much!

He knows how Heaven is.
He was Formerly There!
He knows He can't go there again!
That's why he is out to DECIEVE and Confuse Man,who is the Image of God.

He Knows His Time is so Short!

Do not Let Him ! He has no Mercy!
Flee From Anything that Has to Do with Him..
