teamchocolate: @ my comrades who are for the benefit of the southwest,this is too public a forum to talk about those details but you get the general gist... Yorubas first!! In fact by the time we are done, Igbos will go by themselves, we won't even chase them....
I guess the Americans, Britons, Israelis etc that have created the enabling environment for the yoruba-related people to succeed should also make them 'go by themselves'.
When you point one finger at others, your remaining four fingers are pointing BACK at you, not so
politricks: I did not say that. What i want is for him to answer for his crime and how will he do that if he is dead. When Allison was sick, Most people did not want her dead so that she can answer for any crime she commited. Same should go for OBJ too.
Thanks for taking time to clarify. Have a blessed Sunday & week.
trapQ: To give thanks to the king of kings and lord of lords for all his wonders and goodness. For it is written "do not forsake the gathering of the brethen"
Are brethren ONLY gathered in church every Sunday Is this thread on NL not a gathering of brethren?
Chidimercy: i go 2 church 2 become fill wit d word of God and spirit.. Though many atimes i feel weak and tire 2 God buh 2 aviod any squabble b/w i and mumsy.. I gat no option.
Can one become "filled with the word of God and spirit" ONLY in the church? Is there no other way/place for being filled with the word of God and spirit?
I hope you are capable of reflecting on these questions as those who follow the QUESTIONING way of Jesus Christ are expected to do hence they are called CHRISTians. Remain blessed!
OROSUNBOLB: Baba dey kampe! Obasanjo will not die until all his adversaries are dead and buried! Aremu Mathew Olesegun Obasanjo may you live long 'Ebora Owu'!
Of course the Agbaya of Owu dey kampe on top of the head of his fellow citizens whom his corruption is killing as his adversaries already, not so I guess we all have to die so your idol may live, abi
politricks: God's judgement does not await only him, it awaits everyone. And since you know that, why dont you leave him to God.
Should we abolish our:
- police, - courts, - prisons
Is it reasonable that a society not punish offenders such as the Agbaya of Owu instead of idolising him as some are doing here?
Obasanjo shared $74million Halliburton bribe, Okiro Panel says: • OBJ also pocketed another $5 million with PDP • Interim Panel report disappeared in Aso Rock
President Olusegun Obasanjo, who led Nigeria from 1999-2000, during which time he swore to fight corruption in the country, obtained considerable helpings of the infamous Haliburton bribe money, the Special Investigation Panel headed by Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, has declared in an interim report.
Because the presence of God is LIMITED to only a specific area i.e. church for Christians, not so
Otherwise how will the scammers-in-cassock aka pastors feed off the stewpidity of their congregation?
John 4:
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Very true, nothing do the Agbaya of Owu whose kleptocracy and wanton greed and corruption has DEPRIVED his 200 million mumu citizens the essentials of modern life:
- good roads - education for ALL our children - tap water - health clinics and general hospitals
that would generate EMPLOYMENT and pay good wages to our youths so we do not need to escape through the Sahara desert and Mediterranean Sea to become voluntary SLAVES to our oyinbo "superiors" who are EQUALLY intelligent as we are but made (and continue to make) appropriate individual and collective sacrifice so their society gets better.
Why should ANYONE go to church? Is God only available in church? Is he no longer OMNIPRESENT
You may wish to reflect on this passage from John 4:
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
jeffobodo: Those hypocrites posting that obj should die,is it our fault that your fathers did not hustle well when they were young but where busy carrying afro hairstyles,drinking palm wine and chasing after anything on skirt obj was less that 30 when he first ruled naija,a feat no NL user has achieved pray for him to get well,cos most of y'all crazy poster would be proud to have him as your father
Quote me and thunder will fire you
I thought the only achievement of the Agbaya of Owu in his eight WASTED years of civilian presidency was a congo shiner reputation to the extent of committing incest with his son's wife, not so Would YOU be proud to have such a shameless man as YOUR father?
BTW, was General Bully_Aminu less than 30 in 1976 when he became Head of State? The man was born in 1937, so do your arithmetic wella, please!
The road that he FAILED to rehabilitate and make good all his eight WASTED years of second chance civilian presidency. Something Jonathan started serious work on yet the unsatisfied Agbaya was writing letters filled with LIES!
kareemkamil: For where, Alujonu, Oosha, Ebora, eniyan. Oogun po.
How come some e-diotas still celebrate this useless, incestuous man who is obviously a curse on our generation & nation How come?
I hope Lagos IGR people will soon revise her personal income TAX assessment to reflect what she CLAIMS to be the value of her mansion to pay the EXTRA tax. I hope she does not end up like Lauryn Hill in the US over tax matters.
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: [1] and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, 27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
Anyss: Also think of the things it will take to run a free sch, d requirements. Wot u'll suggest dat will be more feasible is scholarship for less privileged and a subsidized n affordable fee. Dats my take
Is this not what I and most commentators have said all along on this topic
Anyss: Offering is for d officiating minister of d day, tithe is for d priests or ministers for their up Keep and taking Care of the alter(eucharist). Its left for d minister or priest to decide wot to do with his share dats afta taking care of d alter of God. Charity is ------------ lol.
Any text reference from the Bible for your definitions above
Anyss: Pls tell me any church, let me use my church; tell me any catholic Church u've been to for help for ur kid's Sch fees and anyoda problem and dey refused to help u. Pls
Is that not what the anger that sparked this thread is all about
Rebelutionary: I once took my pastor in RCCG on ds and he was dumbfounded. I told him dt obviously d money used in setting up those schools come frm our offerings and tithes...why shd it be so expensive? I also said even if they cnt make it less expensive for everyone, how abt children of pastors, long serving workers who are indigent. He had to confess unwittingly after my barrage of questions that even he cant afford d fees and his kids attend a catholic missionary school!
Is this not SHAMEFUL on the part of RCCG and other penteRASCAL churches that are solely focused on money, money and even more money
Anyss: Free ke? Who wan fund am. Hu go pay teachers? I. Go harrrrrd no be Small. And if e free self d standard go drop to -0
Who pays pastors to fly jets and live osentatious lives while their members WAIT stewpidly for their own miracle How is the church different from our government? How?
lilprinze: I don't just know why Nigerians like free things in the US nothing is free you pay for every single thing you buy or use. very soon they would say they want private universities owned by churchs to also be free.
In the US are church schools not significantly CHEAPER than the private ones
Another of our 200 million mumu on parole, FOOLED so easily. Did you see what her husband VP Osinbajo declared as assets recently? Why are we so fish-brained Why? Abi you never recover from the APCheat sweeping of your brain with broom ni?
