Nigerians will turn this serious shortage to comedy. Watch as Nairalander try to outshine themselves who is funnier on this sensitive post.

Don't blame them, most of them are kids so what do you expect?

OP because you feel that the Igbos would really find it so difficult to get any presidency, you now want an expanded presidency?
Have you heard of "constitutional amendment" and the processes you must got through?
If you don't know, try to read it up

DuduNegro:
I am still very surprised that Southern socio-cultural groups have not responded to the conflicts and inter-tribal wars in NW. If I headed OPC or MASSOB or MEND I would have found way to exploit the problem and implode the Emirates long ago. Cause an escalation in their confusion and hatred and fund an uprising of the Hausas against their rulers.

You do not need to head any of them, just start it cause division between them.

GENEGIRIA:
More “industrialized?”:hope you understand the meaning of the word industrialized? Nigeria that imports everything, including toothpicks, is talking about “industrialized “. Oponu

If you dare go insulting again ...........

gidgiddy:
Well if it is the job of the government to protect all life? Then stop calling Kanu and start asking your government why they are not foing their job

Kanu came with hate speech? You wont thank him for that? Others like Boko haram, Niger Delta militants and herdsmen dont have time for hate or love speech. Their AK47 does the speech for them

....so we should be congratulating Kanu for indulging in hate speech?

gidgiddy:
But it is your federal government killing people? Not so? Is it the job of government or the security forces to kill people unnecessarily?

IPOBians killed two senior policemen some days ago and you applauded them, not so?

gidgiddy:
But it's your security forces who are shooting and killing unarmed people. I thought the job of the security forces is to secure and save life, not take life away?

Tell Kanu to come and lead the next protest

PrecisionFx:
Only a fool would expect that the IPOB leadership would submit Nnamdi Kanu to nigerian soldiers sent to kill him

No wonder he ran away like a rat in the night and risking his life on the high sea

gidgiddy:
His head is pretty straight. Kanu insulting Nigerians is not out of place, Nigerians have no reputation worth praising.

You are still a Nigerian and anything he says about Nigerians applies to you too.
If he says all Nigerians are mad, since you'd still use the Nigerian passport if you were to travel out, you fall into same category of mad people.

GENEGIRIA:
Whatever? Ghana is doing fine. You should be more interested in your generator powered economy, which is spreading poverty faster than usain bolt you are too ashamed to mention your GDP growth rate ; Anyway, Buhari doesn’t give a fvck. He is busy watching cartoons on tv and picking his teeth

A generator based industrial base that is more industrialized than yours that enjoys 24/7 electricity. Who your 24/7 EPP?
Give me links I requested for, you think you can come to an online public forum and start peddling lies and throwing figures. Give us those links and stop complaining

GENEGIRIA:
I don’t feed people’s ignorance and MUMUism

Let's agree you have no link to that, a link to your super growing economy in Q1, Q2, Q3 2019 and you can't provide any.
I understand anyway

Mandeyy:
I'm from Anambra, but I live in Abakaliki. My neighbour is a primary school teacher. She's in level 15. In fact, she's overdue for the post of a head mistress, and she's from Anambra too. She laments a lot about her poor salary. She had tried severally to join Anambra State Civil Service as a primary school teacher, but all her efforts were fruitless. She's not paid up to N60,000. I'm sure of this. Very soon, she'll retire, yet her emolument is meager.

Just seeing this now, you earlier said you stay in Anambra and now you stay in Abakaliki

GENEGIRIA:
Nonsense! How do you define suffering? This is a very stvpid thing to say. Ghanaians are suffering? And yet nigerians are arriving in Ghana in their thousands, every day in search of refuge

How? Is Ghana the poverty capital of the world? Do we have 16 million children out of school in Ghana? Have kidnappers,boko haram, armed robbers taken over Ghana? Life expectancy is 65 years in Ghana. What is life expectancy in Nigeria what is the health and education budget for Nigeria, compared with Ghana? Ghanaians enjoy regular electricity. How many hours of electricity do nigerians enjoy? what is the unemployment rate in Nigeria? chai

Inflation is currently 7% in Ghana. What is the current level of inflation in Nigeria? Chai, Sufferin* n Smiling Ghana’s economy is growing at 8.8%. What is the growth level of the nigerian economy?

8.8% indeed, projected growth made last year, give us the actual growth rate for Q1, Q2, and Q3 2019.

GENEGIRIA:
The report alleging that Ghana was owing Nigeria for gas purchases was published more than one and half years ago. Nobody had a good sense to find out if the debt had been cleared or not? And they are still recycling old, stale news. How about an attempts to dig up more current news in Ghana’s so-called indebtedness to Nigeria gas? Or you call NNPC to ask, can’t you?

In any case, if Ghana is owing Nigeria till now, will nigeria continue to supply gas to Ghana? But never mind, just google and find out if indeed Ghana is still owing Nigeria for gas sold in the past. I know what the latest story is, but I want you to look for the latest info on this issue yourself.

I am also delighted to inform you that Ghana’s dependence on gas imports from Nigeria is shrinking. Currently Ghana produces more than 400 million scf per day from its own OCTP, Jubile and TEN fields. So, the 60 million scf/d from Nigeria, which is even erratic, unavailable most of the time, is a small and insignificant part of the current Ghana gas supply story. With more supplies expected from new gas field under development, Ghana really doesn’t need to import gas.

Give us link to when Ghana paid up, no need for epistles

GENEGIRIA:
You can goggle that information. I think you should mellow down on this GDP this GDP that, and focus on the overall well-being and standard of living of Nigerians. Nigeria’s greatest assets are its people, not oil and gas, or anything.

You are quoting GDP. What I want to hear from you is how are nigerians doing, in terms of life expectancy, access to jobs, poverty levels, electricity, water, quality education, personal security, food etc. These are considered necessities of life. So what is the point of a big GDP when the people are suffering, in all ramifications?

Just like some Ghanaians are suffering as well, your companies are suffering, your government is suffering and you suffering too.

oskopy:
Instead of celebrating this icon some people calls him name.cant we reason for once?yoruba Moslem will rather prefer things get worst than allow igbo man clean this mess

The Igbo man has not cleared the mess in his state but rather prefer cleaning that of other people, una no dey get shame?
Igbo Christians and Jews sef, no commonsense

enemybulldozer:
O boy see reasoning So you think freedom is cheap??

Story for the gods.

OkCornel:
Lol, and you know the funny thing, when God requested for money, God was specific on how money should be raised to maintain the temple. God never requested for money as tithe, see my next post on this thread.

That is the point, even today the Jews don't give tithes again.

After the destruction of the temple and children of Israel had to scatter all over the known world, records in the temple were destroyed in AD 70, nobody knew who a son of Levi was anymore therefore the Israelites don't know who to give the tithes to and that Jewish tradition died naturally.

Today pastors have assumed the role of the sons of Levi when they are not even Jews to start with.

Larryallovernig:
Deuteronomy 14:22-29 New International Version (NIV)


Tithes


22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 


23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 


24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 


25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 


26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 


27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.


28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 


29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Pastors would never tell their congregation about this.

Of the 12 sons of Israel, only the children of Levi were not given any land because every male was elevated to priesthood and they are the ones that the tithes were given which in turn the y and the giver takes it to the house of God, when you ask some Christians if their pastors are the sons of Levi, they'd start staring at you as if what you asked them was blasphemous.

OkCornel:
I only know of spirit led freewill giving (from a cheerful heart) not pegged at any particular percentage of one's earnings as the basis for giving under the new covenant.

2 Corinthians 9 v 7;
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Acts 4 v 34-35;
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.


That being said, I'm still awaiting
1) Scriptural examples of gentile believers that tithed in the new covenant
2) I'm awaiting where God changed the standard of tithing from agro-produce as clearly stated in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29, into money the wolves in shepherd's clothing are currently soliciting for.

God bless you for stating this, problem is this, most Christians don't even know anything about the Bible, all they know is what the pastor preached.
When it's time for tithes, they'd only quote that verse in Malachi and would never quote that verse in Deuteronomy.

Tithing is a Jewish tradition God gave them so that they continue to remember how God brought them from Egypt.
The tithing was restricted to those who till the ground and those who tend to animals that chew the curd so not all Jews were required to give it.

There was nowhere in the new testament that Jesus and his apostles gave or requested or even encouraged for tithes from the early Christians, they were only told to give whatever they have to help others who are in need.

Some of you calling the pastors names need to have your brains examined, did the pastor(s) drag the worshippers from their house at gun point to come to his church(s), was it not the gullible idiots who attend on their own volition?
Millions all over Nigeria would be doing same today and we go blaming pastors as if they forced them to church where they willingly allow themselves to be scammed.

Daddy G.O, pastor etc drives the latest cars, private jets, living in mansions while members of the congregation attend church with worn out shoes, may not be sure of his next meal, owning house rent etc

kettykings:
Most ipob members have foreign degrees and are more educated than you. unless you mean ipob Nigeria .even at that most ipob members are richer than you

With all their education and foreign degrees, have they gotten the Biafra?

Earlystar698:
wake up day don break,,, Biafra is here to stay Bro.

Where is the Biafra, under your bed?

Nwaonyishi69:
everything about figures in Nigeria has elements of doctoring. If you don't know this much, then you know nothing about Nigeria. This nation is built and sustained by lies and liars.

Give us your figures for us to compare.

CSTR2:
Lagos is richer than Rwanda. That is a fact.
Is Rwanda a top five African economy?
No they are not. Lagos alone is top 5 in GDP.
How many notable companies do you know that have their headquarters in Rwanda?
None.

Yes, they have a better standard of living due to a much better standard of governance.

They have done much with little, while lagos have done very little with much.

Rwanda does not have a better standard of living, imagine Nigerians posting pictures of the posh places in Abuja, Lagos, PH, KD, Enugu etc and people take it as how and what the rest of Nigeria looks like.
Rwanda is poor and the world knows it.

GENEGIRIA:
Chai. Who told you Rwanda is not richer than Lagos? Why are you assuming Rwanda can’t be richer than Lagos. If I can compare the standard of life in Rwanda, and that of Lagos, Rwanda is richer than Lagos, in my opinion. Or how do you define being rich or poor?

Give us the GDP purchasing power and nominal of Rwanda and the per capital

crash12345:
fool,Ghana is now your largest trading partner and buyers of your product worth over 3 billion dollars in just 3 months, ahead of USA,India and China.Fool and see if we block your inferior goods from Ghana,your millions of already 100 million extremely poor poverty capital of the world people will be out of employment and hunger will be their middle name.

That your peanuts 130 million dollars have long being settled. What do you take us for.Now we produce our own gas and we don't use your unreliable gas again.Google Sankofa Gas project which is the largest gas project in Africa located in Ghana with our Ghana Gas Company in charge.Better sleep in darkness and shut up on a country with 24/7 electricity. Do you have light in your kiosk currently?

Oh and I almost forgot,over 1,000 Nigerian shops have been closed forcefully in Ghana right now.We're taking the locking nationwide and very soon,millions of Nigerians will join you shortly from Ghana after dealing with them.Don't get me annoyed.

If our goods are inferior as you said then why foolishly buying them or did we pull a trigger to your head to buy? You still crave for goods from Nigeria that the world knows you can't produce, we still sell to you and you're here talking trash.
If you can get our goods cheaper elsewhere and more original, why coming to buy from Nigeria?

A link to when and where you've settled your debt with Nigeria.
Over 1000 Nigerian shops shut and how has that affected the economy of Nigeria? It is the economy of Ghana that is actually affected because of that if you don't know.

Poor Ghana always begging Nigeria to open her land borders so that they can continue their smuggling, use our seaports and you won't.

24/7 electricity and you ain't the industrial power in the subregion, only dancing and watching TV, lazy things.

If you dare me now, I'd post reports from companies complaining of the border closure in Ghana and you send us just one Nigerian company that had complained.

GENEGIRIA:
Yes. Ghana has paid in full. Ghana always pays. Next question?

A link to when Ghana paid up in full please

augustine:
The TCN boss should remember that river Niger passed through Niger republic into Nigeria. If they get the idea of diverting the course of river Niger into their Sahara dessert land mass, then 80% of dams in Nigeria will shutdown and plunge the country into perpetual darkness.

Niger already has an agreement with Nigeria on the use of the river just as Egypt has with the use of the Nile with Ethiopia, any trash from Niger and Nigeria reacts

musicwriter:
Hahahahahaha！

If Togo, Niger and Benin republic decides to become independent, they'll dam the River Niger, and Nigeria would be thrown into darkness forever unless we find other source of water to power our dams.

The real sources of electricity to Nigeria are Togo, Niger, Benin.

Nigeria is not stupid for giving them electricity. In the light of the border closure, if I were them I'll threaten Nigeria with a dam. But they're very stupid to act.

You Ghanaian still crying over the border closure, let them threaten us exactly the way Ghana has been threatening Nigeria with no result.
We pass all of you combined and you know that
