3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Believers are expected to work for their pay

"Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich."

Benita27:
They don't pay tithes, offerings or make donations to churches but are bitter when those who understand kingdom principles do, and these same set of humans desire to worship God in a serene environment they have no idea of how things were provided for. There are countless RCCG and other churches buildings that were paid for by Millionaires and Billionaires knowing full well that the churches collect tithes and offerings...these are men and women who understand what it means to encourage things that promotes God's kingdom. It's only a born fool that debates the things of God with kids.

You mean those politicians that steal and donate to church understand what God's kingdom is?

How come with so many churches, the corruption in Nigeria is not reducing?

There are seven gifts of the holy Spirit and wealth is not one so anyone who talks about "kingdom principles" as regards money is a scammer.

kinibigdeal:
Are the people donating complaining? or did the G.O point a gun on anyone to donate by force? if you understand deep things you wont complain if am blessed today i will donate more than that to Gods work, How they spend it is none of my business, my donation is between i and God

Stop deceiving yourself. Jesus told the disciples how to giving and there was no were he mentioned the pastor.
Giving to a pastor and giving to God are two different things.

"For whatever you do to the least of these brothers, you did to me"

What exactly do you need him for?

I don't want to sound rude or insensitive but you've survived 24 years without him, he also doesn't seem interested in reconnecting with you guys so please forgive my ignorance.

General Obasanjo’s government had a whopping 8 years to improve power supply in Nigeria, and what we got was allegations that $16 billion(USD) spent on power projects during that period, with nothing to show for it. [/url].

The NIPP plants were the result of the $16 billion USD Obasanjo spent.

Hi Rocorleone,

How long does it take to get the international driver's licence in Nigeria. I renewed my Nigerian driver's licence since June and up till now its not ready, so I'm thinking of getting the intl licence if it is processed faster.

Your license should be ready. I renewed in August and it's ready for collection.

eleojo23:
...and the parents can go to hell...awesome!

It depends, families are different

I know people who wished their parents were divorced (meanwhile online Nairaland, the popular opinion is think of the kids before divorce)
I have a friend back in uni, he's goal was to make more money than his father because he hated his father and wished him dead.

Point is do not judge from the outside. It's easy to ask why someone is spending for the girlfriend and not the parents but have you asked who was more influential in the guy getting the more?

eleojo23:
What happened to family? We are talking about parents here o. The people who took care of you before the so called 'sweety' came along.

No matter how you look at it, it is not right to neglect one's parents all in the name of setting priorities.

A man's family is his wife and kids.....

XX01:
How about kids? You can't really predict how their system will react to a new environment especially with the cold.

Can't answer that ma'am as I have no kids, but make just the kids are over dressed because of the cold.

yokus:
Thanks alot @Slowlybtsurely, @azed1 ah just what if.

There's no what if oh, i took anti malaria drugs before I left Nigeria, I even traveled with some. If Weather drops by 1 degree, thickness of my clothes increase by 2.

You'll be fine though. Just treat malaria before you come.

PapaBrowne:
Fashola as minister. That's my reference. He has been an abysmal failure as minister. If Ambode is looking to supply Lagos with 24hr in 2018 (which is actually Fashola's job) and Fashola has actually reduced power supply in the country since he came in, then you know that's a testament to Fashola's inabilities.
I actually like Fashola as a person. Like him when he was governor. But it's apparent now that he is all mouth.
Not a single road commissioned since he became minister and yet he claims to have relieved the highest infrastructure budget allocations in Nigeria history. 2 years and I can't see anywhere where up to 100km of roads have been finished.

The Power minister is more of a figure head in Nigeria since generating and distribution have been sold to private companies, you can give directives as minister but the investors are concerned about their pockets so there's really little he can do to them. At least he can't fire anyone under performing CEO....

yokus:
So ive read that it take atleast 3months to get Health card in Toronto. Pls Seniors how much is private health insurance that will cover the 3months wait period? Or what options are available.

Don't fall sick.

ifyalways:
Very unfortunate. For the next four years, they will live with the decision of the wise ones who went out to vote, hope they have Nsala that will last that long?

Kanu boy is enjoying in an Island somewhere with thick women (from the pictures online, he loves 'em thick), sipping cocktail and laughing at their gullibility.

Madam they will soon call you Afonja oh.

Igbouwanile:
Okay, I will be heading to Fredericton, what can u say about that & hw is check in like here in Nigerian airport.. pls explain what u mean by the bolded?
wow! would be glad if my own bag isn't opened.

Thanks.

I meant to say NOT over weight. The Nigerian airport was normal. Maroc lives by 6- 6:30 am so you'll have to be at the airport by 4am and the airport is not really busy at that time.

I don't think they still do manual checking at Nigerian airports again.

I have no idea about Fredericton.

Igbouwanile:
Good day Friends

Pls I will be flying soon, I want to ask, for one using say Maroc/Egypt/Ethiopian Air how is luggage checking in process like in 9ja airport, what qty of garri & beans can I carry, after checking the luggages at the airport here in 9ja is there a place the will get to & transload, Or is it that same plane that conveys everything to Canada.. Pls any1 with luggage process info shud help explain to me. Thanks

For Maroc, you will get your load at Montreal and board another plane to your final destination. If Ottawa is your destination, i would suggest you book Maroc to Montreal and take a bus from the Airport to Ottawa. There's a bus from 00:20 to Ottawa and it cost about 32CAD.

As for the food stuff, you can pack as much as you want as long as your load is over weight. My bag wasn't opened at any point on my journey.

Diamondville:
they have different types of tithes just as they had different types of offerings

But there's no were in the Bible were tithes were paid with money so why do pastors collect money?

chibabe259:
The issue is already settled in..

Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there may be meat in mine house,
and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven,
and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.


Tithe and offering was mentioned here, and if you claim that tithe was for the Levites, what about offering?.

Madam please what does this part of the Bible mean?

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

Please also see the part were you should sell your produce if the place is far and then use the money to buy stuff that you like.

Thanks for taking your time to explain.

Hi everyone!

Great thread, very informative. I have a few questions regarding proof of funds.

1. I know they sometimes ask for this at the port of entry, but do they actually check the amount, that it meets their minimum? For instance, I had to dip into my savings and it's now about 9,500 CAD, whereas the minimum amount for a single person is 12,300 CAD. Could this be a problem for me? I have heard that you can be denied entry right there due to proof of funds issues. Will they actually check if it's up to 12,300 CAD?

I don't think they expect anyone to have that much cash on hand. I was asked how much i had and i said what i put on my form. I wasn't asked for proof.

A man of Mr Reno's pedigree should know that Budget spend and actual spend are two different things.

In my 2018 budget, there's a column called car under which the make is Ferrari, doesn't mean i would buy a Ferrari or i will spend more on cars than the guy who has a Toyota in his 2018 budget.

free2ryhme:
Did you check the award list column? None had an award

Siddon there dey blow grammar

So it's the awards that are your problem now?

free2ryhme:
The university that conducted the research did not use it for anything meaningful it is me that will use the trash

There's a difference between academic research and industrial research. Most times academic research leads to industrial research.
Now the academic researchers have done their part, it's up to you to see how that research can be used for something meaningful.
If you can't do that, then don't complain.

free2ryhme:
How many of these research have resulted into tangle value we can feel and touch in the Nigerian society? Researchs are not an end in itself but a means to an end. We churn out researchs that have never been of any tangible benefits to the Nigerian society only as bragging rights

What is stopping you from turning the research into something tangible? At least someone has done the research, you do your own part instead on making noise up and down.

So the anointing oil committed abortion?

What happened to the guys ovaries after the abortion?
Did the guys sperm fertilize the eggs in the woman's body and the pregnancy transfer to the man spiritually or did the man fertilize the eggs in his own body?

God but why are some Nigerians this foolish?

If would be nice if the projected oil revenue is tied to capital expenditure that would mean for Government workers to be be paid, they have to do their jobs and hit their targets from non oil sector.

Youngadvocate:
Only in Nigeria will a previous budget not be implemented up to 30% and another is presented.

Did you guys know that we would have had three budgets this year if this 2018 budget is passed before January.

Implementation of 2016 budget was finished in May.

2017 Started in June.

Now 2018 is about to be passed. The three of them worth over N22 trillion.


Where are the infrastructures to justify these monies? APC has finished us

Budget and spending are two different things.

Nigerian selling in Ghana Cedis?

Seriously?

maasoap:
Imagine sacking someone who scored 74% in a test? How many distinction did El Rufai had in his subjects, both O'level and university courses?

El Rufai is a first class graduate. You can knock El Rufai for so many things but his educational qualifications and brilliance is a no go area.

Yelutide:
Lets be sincere here, if there are lot of jobs in the country do you think you and I will want to be a teacher? 80% of primary and secondary school teachers we have today aren't teachers by profession but teachers just to have what to eat. Provide Job for graduates and you'll get certified teachers in the class room.

Now that he sacked 21,000 teachers... he has just succeeded in adding to the problem of the society.

So you'd rather he kept unqualified teachers?

There's nothing like a "juicy" minister or appointment. The only people who see some ministries as juicy are people who have the mind of stealing and are vexed because appointing someone from a different tribe reduces their chance of eating their share from the National cake.

Like someone asked earlier, what has coming from a particular region have to do with performance?

Aren't we supposed to be worried more about what the person is doing in office?

If the OP is a supposed youth, then the future of this country is worse than bleak.

PS: There's no morality in law. The President is bounded by the constitution and not morality or whatever the OP calls it.

Themitope:
Where in the Bible is the tithe to be eaten by oneself. Go read the book of Malachi 3:8-11

Please explain Deuteronomy 14: 22-29 quoted below.

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.
