Of course parents are aware and they are in support.
Sow the wind and you will surely reap the whirlwind!

So, how much was it?

Shallow minded politicking.

It's not the duty of Unizik to impart home training. If the parents failed to do their duty they will have to bear the consequences.

Is he the determinant?

We're aware already. Even on nairaland.

ivandragon:
A better way would be to speak with your votes and defend them.

Violence is never the way forward in a democracy.

True, but will they be counted?

Nothing to say.

Good! Start reversing the trend beginning with children of politicians and public office holders!

Na true!

Nah! Hopeless cause. Maybe in the next world.

Exactly. It's a conundrum!

diamond68:
wow that's amazing. What's your secret ? Do you live abroad ?

No. I'm in Edo State. I try as much as possible to eat healthy - as much vegetables and fruits as possible, avoid excesses (including driving, by trekking as often as i can, but I sometimes drink herbal tea (agbö) that I prepare from leaves including lemon grass, moringa and neem tree leaves.

Now we all know this modern living will tear your body up , olosho diseases, alcohol, fast food, oily food, dusty air, stress, poverty etc etc. you end up being hooked permanently to one medication to keep you alive after a certain age. These medications are costly. There are people who have to cough up 500 thousand naira monthly to stay alive. How much is your medication ?

I don't spend a kobo on medication. I'm 60

Good law! Criminals are not spirits. They live amongst us!

Africa and democracy are alien concepts to each other - mutually exclusive!

Krismas:
The first judge was Samuel. Can you say similar things about Samuel? Deborah is same as Samuel in rank, power and position

No point arguing.

SIRTee15:
Romans 16
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among[d] the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

Thanks. And these women were Elders/Bishops or pastors in Churches?
That means God can contradict his own words?
Someone must be wrong here - Titus 1:2

Wallade:
This are not enough reasons to despise a woman, I have seen a number of excellent women in leadership positions, even in church.

"Despise?" Does God despise women?
God gave women their gender and functions/duty.
That he asked men to take charge in spiritual matters doesn't mean he despises them.
Men and women have different roles.
Do you believe that the Bible is the word of God?

Krismas:
Deborah was not just a prophetess; she was also the judge of Israel. which was a spiritual/political leadership position over the entire nation

A Judge, true but never to administer or lead in worship or the Temple. NEVER!

SIRTee15:
If U show U women pastors in the New testament, would U keep quiet.
If I show U where women are allowed to speak in church in the new testament, would U give this useless argument a rest.

Please sir, go ahead and show us.
There is never a time that a person will need to defend a lion.
The word of God can defend itself - God can never lie or change.
Let's give useless argument a rest.

God is a spirit and you can only worship him in spirit and in truth!
He appeared to be worshipping God.
You can deceive men and deceive yourself but you can't deceive God!

femi4:
These rules were for different churches. Paul go from church to church delivering instructions based on the challenges facing that particular church

We have prophetess in both old n new testaments

The Bible is God's word for all believers (Christians) - 2 Timothy 3:16
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
pastor/Bishop is not the same as a prophetess under the old Testament in the nation of Israel.
Pastor/Elder/Bishop are all the SAME office of heading the Church under Jesus Christ in the new Testament. They are to edify the Church by feeding them with the word of God (not Paul - God)!

Wallade:
The book of Corinthians that you quoted was written by Apostle Paul right?

Book of Timothy was written by Timothy.


Why would Apostle Paul and Brother Timothy want women to be silent in gatherings or church?

Please note that I am not taking side with Women.

"As also saith the law" is a reference to the Old Testament -
Genesis 3:16
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
Take note - He shall rule over thee!

Wallade:
Where did the bible say that? Please I want to learn.

1 Timothy 2:12
"But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
1 Corinthians 14:34
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

Mervingreat:
Wait, I guess she owned h church ba, so who now her GO or Boss that said to her oh my worker or staff it's time to become a Bishop? Or she by herself ordained herself in her own church as Bishop by herself or by who?3

Your eyes go soon clear.

Your madam don enter the altar of occultic bishopism. Open your eyes abeg. No let me talk.

You're right!
It's her church.
God doesn't change or contradict himself.
No female Pastor or Bishop in the Church founded by Christ himself in Matthew 16: 18

happney65:
Bible or no Bible. Religion or no Religion. Mr Deji Yesufu is a misogynist. As much as I enjoy his writings sometimes, His stand on women is so glaring.

Saw him during the US Elections claiming one of the reasons why Kamala should not be President is because she is a Woman and women should not be in position of leadership

Opinions like that should be in the olden ages and for illeterates. Not Educated Men like Mr Deji

With respect though, even a broken clock is correct twice in a day.
Liberalism/wokeness is emasculating men and creating effeminate men.
Maybe women should take charge let all men become homos.
Then the rubbish species would rightly die out - good riddance to rubbish!

jesusjnr2020:
I don't think she even deserves to be a church leader from all I've heard from her despite being a popular figure, but if God is the one who chose her to lead His flock, who am I to object?

I can only air my views, but it's only up to God not men to chose whichever vessel He wants to lead His sheep, whether male or female as proven with the instance Deborah in the Bible days among others.

God is not a respecter of persons, gender, colour, but only those who truly fear Him and walk righteously before Him, and only looks at the heart when it comes to choosing leaders for His people.

God bless.

Deborah was a prophetess. Any body could prophesy. It's not the same thing. No woman ever entered the Holy of Holies or ministered in the Jewish Temple (or even synagogue) till date!
The Bible clearly says women can't take spiritual authority over men.

They won't believe you.
They didn't take God's word for it - it's there in their Bibles. Don't worry yourself because they don't believe in the God of the Bible.

Trouble for those who have shame. So it's supposed to be funny or maybe I'm the problem because I lack a sense of humour.

They sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind! Mutiny is wrong and this one was unsuccessful!
Spilt blood always calls out for justice.
