Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Gives Hamas Ultimatum To Release Hostages Or Face Destruction By ISRAEL by bixton(m): 11:32pm On Sep 30, 2025
Bar1941:
What destruction are you going to carry out that you and your boy Satanyanhu have not done already?

Right now, everyone needs to start asking isn’t it a modified HAMAS created by Israel that carried out the Oct. 7th kidnapping? Because with the power Israel and the US claimed to have, the one they used to eliminate all authentic HAMAS leaders, how come they can’t use it to locate the ones holding the captives and rescue them instead of killing innocent civilians?

The fact remains it’s a pre-planned agenda between Israel and the US long before Oct. 7th to steal more land from the Palestines. Trump even testified to the fact by insinuating he will use Palestinian land to make a Resort.

You can use whatever power you have against them today, but you CAN NOT kill their resilience. Victory awaits the Palestinians.
I wonder what kind of victory awaits them and where !!!!

Don't be delusional.

Good day nairalanders, I work in a private firm and earn half a million naira. I work on holidays and 6 days a week. Now my uncle just me that he has a slot in Nigeria immigration and wants me to join, I checked their salary and it’s way below what I make where I work.
In terms of job security, where I work isn’t that secured but we have staffs who have worked here for 10-15 years counting. Im confused…should I quit and join immigration or stay here and save up to start a business?
You don't need anyone's advice if you have persons who have worked 10-15 years there and still working there.

The only question you need to ask yourself is what do you want to make out of life working there assuming you're to be there in 20 years time?


Assume same if you go to the immigration with the minimum wage and say 20 years, how do you envisage life?

Once again, you've avoided answering the core question: What is the scriptural basis for being called or ordained? You made a claim, and I'm simply asking you to support it with Scripture.

The passage I quoted was to emphasize that as Christians, we shouldn’t make assertions we can’t back up with the Word. It’s not in line with Christian integrity to do so.
You're asking a very rare question which shouldn't be.
I shouldn't be the one that will bring up a Scripture to back it up for it doesn't exist.

[quote author=loffyloffy post=136970469]Bros your heads are in the cloud, you are more of a theorist than a realistic.

While it is True that God should call you into ministry before you start a church, it is not necessarily true that everyone that have to work with you in leadership to run that ministry must be directly called by God.

Moses was called by God, but he chose the elders that worked with him.

While the Apostle were called they elected people of good character, who in all likelihood have gone through a training process to be leaders in the church.

When Paul was telling us the criteria for choosing a Bishop, he never mentioned that he must have been called by God as a criteria.

Jesus christ himself settled this kind of discussion when he was talking about 'Eunuchs' .He said some are 'born', some are 'made eunuch by men' and some of their own choice ' made themselves eunuch for the kingdom'

Just replace the word 'eunuch' with 'pastor' and you will catch my flow.

You should not start a ministry unless God call you, But you can rise up to become anything within a ministry without being explicitly called by God.

[/quote

The issue we have in Africa and especially Nigeria is that we put too much bearing and weight in titles which shouldn't be so.
The work of God doesn't work that way.

I am very sure you have heard the name Bro. Gbile Akani.

In Christianity such titles have spiritual implications. Answering certain titles here on earth is irrelevant if heaven has not registered your name to such titles.

Maybe you should go find them. Don’t deflect—just answer the question: What is the scriptural way to be called or ordained? We’re reading the same Bible. It’s unchristian to make claims you can’t prove—2 Timothy 2:15.
I am not deflecting.
I hope the verse you put up is not a verse you considered to address the the discussion?

If we are reading the same Bible then it would be easy for you to show me where a Bible College or any resemblance of it was set up before one is ordained a Pastor or made one....

Apostle Paul and Bro. Timothy did not attend any Bible College or did they attend?

The Nigerian law clearly stipulates workers to have a Union when their strength exceeds a minimum number

But because Dangote is the first man, and first oil company to exist on earth, we should burn the Nigerian constitution.

No wonder Chinese and Indian firms don't take us seriously. Anything goes in Nigeria.[/color]

'... from the new members class, I graduated from The Redeemed Christian Bible College, also School of Disciples to become a worker, then a Deaconess and later an Assistant Pastor in 2018'

According to you, someone that went to bible college, and attended School of Disciples, then became a deaconess, and assistant pastor, is not fit to be a pastor huh

Majority of pastors in Nigeria today have not even stepped foot in a bible college, yet this woman did, yet you still find fault.
Attending a Bible College is not a criteria to be called or ordained a Pastor......
Not that it is not good, but it's not a Scriptural criteria if that is what you're intending to point out.

You better be reading the Holy Bible which holds the WORD of God and check the criteria such position.

The Word of God transforms only those who yield to the quickening Spirit of the Lord.

Manny21:
The real saboteurs are the labour cabals benefiting from the suffering of the common man. The labour leaders are stinkingly and super rich. They use these rank and file workers to protest and go behind to collect large bribes from government. They often call for warning strike when they are broke. Dangote knows where this is coming from. It is like covenant university lecturers joining ASUU and blaming Oyedepo for sacking them when they go on strike
You know nothing about UNIONs

Please be informed that PENGASSUN EXCOs are also workers within the IOCs earning salaries/wages from their respective employers and likewise their members.

Your analogy of private university and private refinery does not follow. It's too distinct operations. Just because it's private doesn't make it same.

We will see how it will turn out..

Good luck to Nigeria expect any further investors to come in..last year Nigeria only attracted a mere 1bn USD in FDI ..Egypt attracted over 40 billion dollars..I don't even want to mention Kenya and the rest ..

Nigerians are the loudest when it comes to destruction..but to build we go silent..

First it was NNPC..
Then we had NUPRC, NUPENG and now PENGASSAN..

let me remind you that Dangote cement have unions there.. this is way beyond aluta for members..

People keep yapping about Dangote workers being maltreated..so is it BUA or Lafarge that cement workers are earning billions.

They are complaining that Dangote is importing foreign workers..
What is the credibility of Nigerian workers in handle critical roles ..or you think it isn't costing him more money to retain foreign workers?.

Which Nigerian company can handle a standard road construction even Nigeria government patronise foreign companies and workers to hire big projects because they know most Nigerian fully owned companies are rubbish ..
You're only delusional if you think the Indians working for Dangote have integrity over Nigerians.......
I don't even know if there's any significant difference.

One thing about Nigerians bringing in foreigners is that it makes it easy to launder funds through such persons and their subsidiary companies.


Likewise when you say there's no Nigerian company that can deliver standard road construction.......I can't even remember if there are still whites working as project engineers or site engineers on every road construction done in the South South region.....it's been quiet long I saw them.
These things are not rocket science.

Opebiman:
You are not seeing the bigger picture
If it is voluntary...why does the union want to shove it down the throat of the company..
Their stands IS that all the company's workers must be under union.. and this is for ulterior motives..
You can continue to deceive yourself that it is truly for workers welfare.. cabals who want to bring down the refinery want to use the workers to penetrate into the facility and control..

A clear example has been set.. IOCs who have no business with this are about to go on strike.. the union didn't go on strike when 3bn dollars was spent to rehabilitate dead refineries and none of them work today ..

Even the cement manufacturing division of Dangote group have unions.. it is not like the Dangote hates the initiative..

This case is different

.you think Dangote is a fool to not know what they want to use so called Union to do his refinery?
NNPC tried by trying to starve the refinery from receiving crude. Dangote went ahead to import crude And the fact that his facility sits on a free trade zone gives him the right to do it and most importantly..his facility can crack any crude meaning he doesn't need to stay dependent on Nigerian crude..NNPC failed..

NUPRC tried by calling products from Dangote concentrated with impurities (sulphur) today Nigerians attest to the fact that the product of the refinery are the best for their engines...NUPRC failed..

NUPENG tried by threatening to prevent lifting of products from the refinery..Dangote bought 4000 trucks to do it himself..they failed..

It is PENGASSAN turn..let see how it unfold..

Some how ..all these unions never stood up when the refineries died..when people were stealing crude and subsidy money.. when people imported adulterated products because they are complicit..

You can keep deceiving yourself..
Please go and find out the roles of NUPENG and PENGASSUN in the industry and it's significance to employees of labour.
If you don't even know those who are UNION Executives are also employees within the industry.
You only hear Dangote bought trucks and nothing NUPENG could do about it. You need to find out how it was resolved, that particular issue. Please don't ask me.

It is not the place of PENGASSUN to ensure that the Nigerian refineries are working or not. No, it's never their place for members of PENGASSUN and it's EXCOs all over Nigeria are still employees.

It is like NLC telling the FG to employ people in government establishments......

ASUU not going to strike yet has nothing to do with CONUA but ongoing negotiation. You don't go on strike while negotiation is ongoing. It is against labour law. CONUA is irrelevant and can't be used to checkmate ASUU.
Very irrelevant CONUA and many don't even know.

How I wish it would be that anytime the FG honours their agreement with ASUU those in CONUA doesn't benefit then many will understand how it is..

A lot of Nigerians don't have thinking heads. They just cap nothing believing they are saying something.

The benefits of PENGASSUN to employees directly and indirectly in the industry far out weights the troubles.

PENGASSAN are quick to cite "laws of the country" which they themselves blatantly flout at every given opportunity.

The "laws of the country" which they cite talks about "freedom of association" but, PENGASSAN is making belonging to an association "compulsory".

So, who's disobeying the "laws of the land" when all workers are being constrained into belonging to a union by force?

Where, therefore, is the "freedom of association"?

The Industrial Court and, indeed, the Supreme Court needs to clarify this burning issue if a stop is to be put to the excesses of PENGASSAN and her affiliates.

It's in such public outlets you'll know a lot of people don't have balanced ideas and understanding of things, that's why they talk from both sides of their lips...

The Nigerian law states that workers are free to associate or join unions and a company law states that it's workers are not to join unions....
Please which of the law is expected to take precedence?

Is this not the reason why the Fulani herdsman is protected by the law and the farmer whose crop is destroyed by the yhe herdsman is not protected by the same law.
It's this same that allows Muslims to kill anyone who they always alleged to blaspheme their god and Mohamed but when it comes from other religions they are arrested as a fast a jet speed.

Anyways what is the main purpose of unions in any organization of which those who are in higher management who stifle the necks of subordinates also benefits from the winnings of such Unions.

Many of these people applauding Dangote as a private business who makes profits are the ones who come out to complain that prices of foodstuffs and other commodities are on the high price...... please don't you want these businesses to make profits like Dangote and co!!!!!!
