Sorry to ask bro, you go school at all?

No, I did not. Spirit of illiteracy is disturbing me. Kindly give me your church address, I'll come for deliverance

Its like you're looking for where to speak English this morning. Ekiti This is a contrast; he uses the spiritual stuff to buttresses his point

Read my comment again you ignorant person. Looks like the spirit of over-sabi is disturbing you

Oga.... It's a simple sarcasm... Go rest make una understand say life dey simple.

Mr. ITK

Mumu it is irony and not sarcasm. Go and push your wheelbarrow.

Go deep and stop the looking at it from the surface, he doesn't mean there is a spirit with such names.

Read my comment again. Then go to bed.

U wanna sell your family house shey? Better raise money elsewhere




@ Nazgul: Eg. If a useless first son is selling his late parents home in VI or Ikoyi which host their graves as well for a ridiculous amount, I won't think twice before jumping on the offer.

Coincidentally, I happen to be a first son and my inherited property hosts my parents grave

I was not bouyant to develop it because of Projects including my personal property. All I did was let a family member live in the building free of charge. Then gave out the front yard (80 by 60) to a credible developer who built a mini-shopping Plaza (26 shops)

Few more years to go, full ownership of the shops will be back to me with steady rents flowing in.

Never insult the memories of your parents by selling their resting place.

Did your family member later give you any trouble? How do you prevent such from happening?

Nigerians and over spiritualization

Dirtiness is NOT a spirit. Hard to get is NOT a spirit. Tribalism is NOT a spirit. And so on.

These are bad habits and irresponsible patterns of life that can be dealt with through a right understanding of priorities in life as well personal discipline and mature accountability from other people.

Furthermore, don't idolize marriage, singleness is also God's gift.

Modified:

For people quoting me, I understand that the writer is using irony (not sarcasm).

I did not contradict his intention, I only stated it plainly.

Also, as my last sentence suggests, whether married or single, we should all be "delivered" from these spirits.

Please don't quote me again

Yes. If you I-20 is still valid, you have to reapply for visa but might not attend interview by using drop box

Thank you very much!

TEMIT0PE:
Depends on the length of your program.

A visa is just a document that allows you entry into another Country. You can still remain in the US after your visa expires PROVIDED YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT to remain there (e.g your program has not been completed, your on on CPT/OPT)

Thank you. I'm more concerned about if I have to travel abroad after my US visa is expired. Do I need to reapply for a new visa to gain entry though my i-20 is still valid i.e. my study program is not finished?

Hello everyone,
How long is the USA visa valid for? Is it still 2 years?

If your visa expires when you're in the US, do you need to travel back to Nigeria to renew or are there any other options?

Thank you so much brothers and sisters!

Jezzuz!It true Good bless Muhammadu Buhari.

God bless...? Don't become an idiot before election na!

Now that we have a shortage of young people in governance, giving children a taste of power is a smart way to prevent future shortages of youth in politics.

More states should do the same.

LOL Lesbianism/homosexuality isn't a religion, you can't convert people into it.

You're even waiting for three times? I don't even chat with people who use shorthand. Like I always tell such people, if I'm going to type the normal way for you, that gesture should be reciprocated. And for those who chat shorthand, such as; k, u, sumtin, e.t.c..
I hope the time they would've used to type correctly, made a change in their lives.

Do you think it's okay to write 'OK'?

he is replacing them with the same number. So the negative impact on Kaduna economy is zero.

It will affect the families of the sack teachers negatively while it affect the family of the new teachers positively.

Quantitatively, yes. But qualitatively As referenced by the thrashing of a government complex...there will be bad blood

Imagine traveling with a Literature Nobel Laureate in the background and you are there taking selfies instead of milking him for wisdom

Life...

The notable absence of books or vacations or charity or other such soul-enriching things is tragic

Even secondary students now protest on the street , where are we going as a nation

If they are well informed on the purpose of their protest, what is wrong with that?

This brutal approach to reforming Education is just....interesting

This is so sad,
What type of a President do we have?


So Buhari could not honour his own aide by gracing his wedding simply because he is Igbo and the occasion was in Igbo land.

Vice President, Prof. Osinbajo attends Wedding Ceremony of Mr. Ekene Nwokoro, (who works in VP's office) & wife Margret Nwankwo in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

Can you read

talkeverytime:
In today's world where there is lack of respect for spiritual authority and so much bad talks and accusation about men of God, people find it difficult to refer to a particular person as their pastor or man of God probably for the fear of being deceived or duped by the Pastor or being seen as a weak fellow for having "a Pastor".


It should be noted that for the case of this discussion, the word Pastor is used as a generic word for the five fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors and Evangelists).
Now, I've heard a lot of people say things like "I don't need a Pastor to tell me what God says", "I can read the Bible for myself", "God can talk to me anywhere and anytime, I don't need any MOG". Some have even gone as far as labeling all Pastors entrepreneurs and fraudsters. The question I will like to ask you is why did God give us these ministry gifts if we do not need them? In Ephesians 4 verse 11, the Bible says ;
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers" KJV
So did God just give us these gifts that we do not need? No, we need them obviously and that's why he gave them to us. He told us the reason for giving them in the following verses. Ephesians 4 verse 12 - 14
"[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ
[14]That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; " KJV
I'm going to break down these reasons simpler for you to understand.

You need a "Pastor" to teach you.

I've explained that I'm using the word Pastor for the five fold ministry in this article, so I believe it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Now you may say you can read the Bible and learn for yourself, I agree with you. In fact, you should read the Bible and know the word for yourself. But that doesn't replace the part of the Pastors, they are specially ordained by God for this purpose and there is an anointing upon their lives to carry it out.

You need someone to monitor your growth.

Yes, you do. Even though not all Pastors perform this properly but it's part of their job. They act like fathers to see to your well-being, your spiritual well-being particularly. Your spiritual well-being controls the physical, so once you perfect it there, you'll perfect it in other areas. So the Pastor watches you grow spiritually and detects when you're not making progress like you should do.

For correction .

This supports the point above. Your Pastor is there to correct you when you miss it. Once he detects that you're doing the wrong thing or not doing something right, he comes in.

You need a Pastor to inspire and motivate you.

You can say this is the work of a motivational speaker. Calm down. What I mean is you need someone to inspire you to do the things of God and to grow spiritually. That is what the Pastor should do with his teaching and his lifestyle.

You need a Spiritual Head to guide you.

There are just sometimes we need guidance. Yes, we have the HolySpirit to guide and direct us. But remember, one of the end reasons God gave us these five fold ministry is that "we should not be tossed to and fro" . It means these offices are required to keep us in a straight path. And you also need someone that represents you on the altar. You should not just pay your tithes to anyone and everyone. Take it to the Church (the church you attend; that is you must have a particular church) and give it in your church, that's where the blessing lies.

To protect you

Yes, your Pastor "keeps" you, through prayers, his word and prophecy over your life and his teachings. The fourteenth verse of Ephesians 11 suggests that Christians can be deceived by the cunning craftiness of men. This five fold ministry helps to prevent that and protect you.
So prayerfully seek for a church and join. Follow the leader attentively, it may be a Pastor, Prophet, Teacher, Apostle or Evangelist. They are all ordained for us.
This is where I'll stop for today. Please feel free to agree or disagree. Drop your comments

Amidst the thrash threads on this forum, yours is a gem. It is precise and your points are clearly articulated with acceptable arguments.

An intelligent person will find great value in it.

Thank you.

MhizzAJ:
I don't need a pastor to inspire and motivate me

Some of them are very selfish and careless

They are just humans...They aren't perfect either

I pray to God before reading the Bible...so i don't need a specially ordained 'Man of God' to interpret the word to me...

Did you pray before reading this post?

Because I feel like the "specially ordained" op has to interpret it to you...

This is irresponsible journalism.

No photo ops.
No papers.
No sign that a contract is been "signed"


Yet, in order for you to drive traffic, you rush to publish nonsense !

Next time, allow your brain to work faster than your ink.

E-diot.

No sign that a contract is been "signed"

These mediocre press releases hiding their shallowness under the frivolity of a line from a

"...Greek physician/philosopher, Sextus Empiricus, who lived in Alexandria and Athens in the 3rd Century..."

are very undeserving of this country. I marvel at what manner of well the presidency draws these morons from...
