Government is happy to tell us that they have released 1000+ tankers of pms through NNPC. They didn't tell us when to expect the next consignment, because this consignment can't last five hours nation wide |
Touchy. |
Hmmh |
Import and export should start happening between Nigerian States |
Quakertellicus1:What exactly is your point? Agreed all lines were registered after their kidnap. You and I know none of them would have that opportunity to register their original line, that's if they went with their phone in the first place. Because I know the boko haram boys would have seized every possession they had. As you rightly said that the phone lines may have been allocated to other people, how did those people know that the original owners of the lines are the chibok girls? How did they get the phone lines of their respective parents? How come the call came at the same time? How come the same response was received when the calls were returned? No sentiment, chibok kidnap was a scam! |
byvan03:You got me laughing there. You are quite right. |
byvan03:Very seriously, that's my interpretation of what he told me. I was with them and in a little while the wife left. It was obvious that there was a quarrel. I never asked what happened but the man just told me all women are the same. They will answer yes sir to someone who is not up to their husbands in the office and will not accord there husband same. At least you can give it your own interpretation. Though I never asked him what the problem was. |
byvan03:It looks more like a prophet not been regarded by his people but his people regarding lesser prophet abroad. |
dayowunmi:Exactly my thoughts |
I love her. She is very thankful and proud of what she's got. I love her confidence |
It rained heavily in Ibadan today. The seven up road was flooded with water. I understand a particular company around that area to be precise Procter and gamble rebuilt their fence and in the process blocked the drainage. This they did before the rains. Now the rains are here this is the result.

I am guilty of this too. It only makes feel concern when I saw it happen between my friend and his wife. I really don't know the cause of their quarrel. But my friend simply said all women are the same. They answer 'yes sir' to a man who is not up to their husbands in the office yet they find it difficult to accord their husbands such honour. Although my friend is a big oga in the company I work for. Friends I want your honest opinion. |
Hmmh |
APCsupporter:Why call me a wailer? If you say the situation in the country is not affecting you. No problem. What you say in public is immaterial. I am sure in your inner you, you are dying. |
Kachikwu told that fuel will be available in may. Politicians forced him to say 7th of April. It's unfortunate that some people still believe him |
Nonsense post |
This is pure gibberish. Nigeria and Nigerians sha. |
This is the reason many of the Lebanese companies would not want workers to enter the premises with a camera phone. It's high time government ban anti workers policy in all companies in Nigeria. Sadly because of the bribe they collect from these companies, they will never do so. So sad for Nigeria. Lassa fever everywhere. |
ezelos:But na true na. |
The rains will soon be here again and we experience improve power. But thunder go fire anyone who praise government in that period. |
massinola:I no fit laugh. I can feel you. It's just like you should have a say, unfortunately your say starts and ends here. Lol |
jmichlins:Amen o |
Truly GEJ may be vindicated at last. |
A Pastor in my area has just been left by his wife for reasons best known to them . She has been having an affair and has now moved in with the other man and wants a divorce. The pastor intends to continue pastoring but it is felt that some people will leave that church as they don't agree with a divorcee being a minister. Are they right to leave because of this? After all he isn't the one committing adultery and would take her back if she asked to return. What would the scriptural view on this be?

Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan on November 2 has paid a visit to the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja. Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari. The meeting that continued for just five minutes was held behind the closed doors at the New Banquet Hall of the Aso Rocl villa. Jonathan arrived the State House at accurately 2.00pm in a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). On his arrival, ex-president headed straight for the New Banquet Hall of the villa. Former leader of the nation was seen off the place of the meeting with President Buhari at 2.07pm. He left the presidential villa without talking to the reporters. It was the second time former president would be visiting Buhari since the latter was inaugurated into office on May 29. Jonathan had paid a private visit to President Buhari at his official residence on August 6. Goodluck Jonathan has earned the dubious distinction of being the first president in Nigerian history to lose an election. In many ways, Jonathan was the architect of his own downfall. He made critical mistakes that turned the public and allies against him, and led them to gravitate towards the opposition. |

According to Jesus, many of the so-called churches today that are large and famous are actually spiritually dead. In many churches today, pastors are preoccupied with the size of their congregation. Some take a census every church-service. Others keep statistics of the number of people who answer their altar-calls. When pastors meet socially, how big their church is determines their social status and prestige; ensuring that many are prone to exaggerate their numbers. The bigger the church, the more highfalutin and celebrated the pastor. However, the wisdom of God is contrarian, she shouts in the street; she lifts her voice in the public square: “No king is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.” (Psalm 33:16-17). Let me apply this scripture more precisely to the context of mega-churches. No man is saved by the size of a church, neither is the wicked delivered by the great charisma of a pastor. When we are preoccupied with size in churches, we are guilty of trusting in the multitude of our mighty men. (Hosea 10:13). First become last “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!’” (Zechariah 4:6-7). One of the great mountains before Zerubbabel was Solomon’s temple. Those charged with rebuilding it were concerned the new temple would not have the splendor and majesty of the old. But God is not concerned with size and other physical attributes. Through Haggai, he declares: “The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former.” (Haggai 2:9). Accordingly, Zechariah asks: “Who has despised the day of small things.” (Zechariah 4:10). Indeed, according to God’s kingdom dynamics, “every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low.” (Isaiah 40:4). God says: “All the trees of the field will know that I, Yahweh, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish.” (Ezekiel 17:24). This indicates in the day of the Lord, we are likely to discover that the big church is small in the sight of the Lord and the small church is big. Before Zerubbabel, even the great mountain of Solomon’s temple becomes a plain. Preference for small things In the kingdom of God, good things come in small congregations. Jesus says: “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.” (Matthew 18:20). In effect, we don’t need to be in the thousands and tens of thousands in order to feel the presence of God. But because Jesus says where two or three are gathered, and not where at least two or three are gathered, he is actually expressing a preference for small gatherings. According to Jesus, the appropriate size of a church is not “mega” or “big,” but “little.” Thus, he reassures the small congregation: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32). It is the “little flock” and not the big flock that the Father has decided to give the kingdom. Mega-church pastors are akin to the Israel of old: “Israel has forgotten his maker, and builds temples.” (Hosea 8:14). As a matter of fact, the large size of a church is eloquent testimony of spiritual deficiency. Jesus says: “wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13). It is the stone the builders reject that becomes the headstone. (Psalm 118:22). This prophecy is bad news for mega-church pastors because they are currently the accepted stones. Indeed, according to Jesus, “the first will become last and the last first.” (Mark 30:31). This means today’s “first-class” pastors will ultimately turn out to be “last-class.” Few are chosen Because the gospel is naturally unattractive to the large flock, Jesus says: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14). Therefore, numerical church- growth is an unrealistic index of success in ministry. When we are focused on the numbers game, we become ashamed of the words of Jesus, and readily sacrifice his doctrine on the altar of attracting a large following. Indeed, God is contemptuous of size; he prefers the mini to the mega. He says: “Woe to the multitude of many people who make a noise like the roar of the seas, and to the rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters; but God will rebuke them and they will flee far away, and be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.” (Isaiah 17:12-14). David got into trouble with God because of his preoccupation with numbers. When pride moved him to conduct a census in Israel in order to determine the size of his kingdom, God responded by decimating it with pestilence, killing seventy thousand men. (2 Samuel 24:1-15). Jesus himself was not the product of a big church but of little Bethlehem Ephrathah. (Micah 5:2). Fake pastors: dead churches Speaking to his disciples, Jesus provides this simple kingdom dynamic as their mark of distinction: “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:19). Therefore, the very fact that the world loves mega-pastors indicates there is something wrong with them. If something is very popular, it is not of God. The evil spiritual “ruler of this world” will not allow what is godly to be well-liked. Therefore, Jesus says: “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26). Mega-pastors are in trouble with the Lord because all men love them. The people of this world do not like the doctrine of Jesus. Neither do mega-pastors otherwise they would be mini. If the general public like what a pastor preaches, it is a sure sign it is not of God. God and men hardly ever see eye to eye. Jesus says: “That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” (Luke 16:15). This shows the true Church of Christ is inevitably anathema to the world. Jesus insists his kingdom is not of this world. (John 18:36). Therefore, his Church cannot be worldly; neither will his disciples preach the world in order to attract a crowd. According to Jesus, many of the so-called churches today that are large and famous are actually spiritually dead. He declares: “To the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: ‘I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.’” (Revelation 3:1).
