FamilyRe: Indecent Dressing Of Girls At Children's Day Celebration - Man Raises Alarm by bixton(m): 7:31am On May 28, 2025
Celestialsword:
Nigerians should stop all these pretence and move with trends around the world.

Dressing doesn't reflect the heart of the person, looking outward instead of inwards.it just their preference and the modern trends.

This is Gen z generation
If I take your statement for what it is that dressing doesn't reveal the heart....


Then it's okay if a man dresses like a woman, a boy dresses like a man, a woman dresses like a boy and a girl dresses like a woman?

If you don't see correlation between education, mind expansion, understanding or obeying court orders and separation of powers then you need more education. I will advise you to input that question on Google or chat gpt to get educated.

Education expands the mind, and from Sen. Okpebholo’s words and actions I doubt that he has the requisite educational qualifications needed to understand concepts like the rule of law and the separation of powers.

PoliticsRe: PDP Crisis: My Position By Nyesome Wike by bixton(m): 4:40pm On May 25, 2025
Newsgeek24:
PDP CRISIS: MY POSITION

1. Since after the 2023 General election, the PDP has been wantonly swinging from one part of a slippery precipice to another, owing fundamentally to dishonesty and lack of trust amongst its key stakeholders.

To stem this ugly trend, efforts have been made to arrest this pernicious virus of dishonesty and treachery and enthrone fidelity to agreements with a view to stabilizing the party and moving it forward.

2. To this end, a meeting of the G5 was held in Lagos. In that meeting, I made it clear to the Governor of Oyo State, HE. Seyi Makinde, that he was the architect of our problems, pointing out to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the party, and that he was the chief culprit of this anomaly.

At the end of the meeting, we resolved to bury the hatchet and make progress.

3. As a follow-up to the aforementioned meeting, there was an expanded meeting in Abuja involving HE. Seyi Makinde, HE. Umaru Fintri, HE. Bala Mohammed, HE, Bukola Saraki, and I in Saraki’s guest house.

In that meeting, I made it clear that I had no personal problems with HE. Bala Mohammed, except that he hides under the facade of Chairman of PDP Governors Forum to serially renege on agreements. Tensions rose mightily in the meeting and it took all concerned to calm frayed nerves.

At the end of the meeting, we came to some resolutions, including:
a. That Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the National Secretary of the PDP in tandem with the Supreme Court judgement.
b. All legal matters relating to Rivers State must be withdrawn by the National Legal Adviser.
c. The suit on the State of emergency be withdrawn forthwith.
d. Nobody should deviate from the agreements so reached.

In the light of the foregoing, they pleaded with me to attend the stakeholders’ meeting at the Bauchi Government Lodge, regardless of my many engagements.

I attended the meeting and clearly reiterated my earlier concerns, and to this end and in order to resolve all other lingering and pending issues, a committee was formed, headed by HE. Bukola Saraki.

4. It is disheartening to note that even before the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee began its work, the gentleman’s agreement we reached at Saraki’s Guest House was already being crudely violated.

To my chagrin, Seyi Makinde had connived with Peter Mba of Enugu State to orchestrate the summoning of the meeting of so-called South-East leaders to recommend that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they would pull out of the PDP.

I have since granted an interview to the effect that, that resolution of the South-East leaders can not hold.

Again, Seyi Makinde organized some people in the National Secretariat to insist that the Deputy National Secretary should act as National Secretary, in violation of the agreement earlier reached.

To attempt to give credence to this farce, a letter was written by the Deputy National Secretary, calling for a meeting of the NEC of the party.

Furthermore, the letter confirming the candidacy of the Governorship candidate of the party in the forthcoming Governorship elections in Anambra State, duly signed by the National Secretary, Senator Anyanwu and the acting National Chairman, was portrayed as rejected by the party through a rebuttal letter signed by the National Publicity Secretary, acting on the orders of Seyi Makinde and Peter Mba.

All these actions are in complete violation of the agreements reached and would not do the party any good whatsoever. On the 24th of May 2025, in Jos, for instance, a well publicized and properly attended zonal elective congress of the PDP was aborted because the letter inviting INEC to the congress was signed by the Deputy National Secretary of the party.

INEC refused to attend because the proper signatory recognized by law, that is Senator Samuel Anyanwu was not a signatory to the invitation notice. This is undeniably distasteful, provocative and annoying, to say the least.

5. I have painstakingly put out all these facts so that PDP members and the general public would know the truth. I have been in this party since 1998 and have worked tirelessly for the survival of this party with all my strength and it is on record that none of these persons have done anything close to what I have done to sustain this party.

What is more painful is that I contributed substantially to most of these governors winning their elections, yet I have not made any personal demands on any of them and I would never do so.

Most importantly, I had thought that we could keep the trust amongst us, but since it is now obvious that they would continue to play games to the detriment of the party, as is the case in the current debacle in the North-Central zonal elections, I have now firmly decided to pull out of all agreements hitherto reached.

I have decided to fight on until justice is attained.

Preciousgirl:
How will a Christian know that the Holy Spirit spoke to them?

What are the channels?

Also, can the holy Spirit flashback a Christian?
Understanding the Word of God, abiding and heeding is paramount to true christian life, living and spiritual growth.


The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit and ministers that which is of Christ Jesus to our spirit.
There are two channels basically if I'm not mistaken and it's through God's Word and through your spirit man.
If you follow the Scripture and those who had the experience of Him as written in the Holy Bible.



The Holy Spirit does not do flashback if by flashback you mean bringing back past events into remembrance.
That is being done by God through what is referred to as ministering spirits(Angels).
Though not all ministering spirits are of God and that's why Scripture says, "Tests all spirits."

A viral video showing a man excitedly praising his wife for filling his car’s tank with fuel worth N75,000 has captured the hearts of many online, with viewers gushing over the playful couple.

In the trending clip, the husband is seen at a fueling station with his wife, as a female attendant fills their car with fuel. The husband, clearly thrilled, begins hailing his wife in a hilarious and dramatic fashion.

He walks around the car with his hand raised, showering her with praise and calling her pet names. In one funny moment, he says, “Lily Lily, you full my tank!” The wife, playing along, lifts her shoulders proudly and replies in pidgin, “Yes, tell them who I be. Hail me, hail me!”

He continues his praises with, “Lily Lily, you full my tank. Power dey your hand!” She responds again, saying, “Yes, tell dem who I be. Open the door for me, open the boot, open the bonnet for me!”

From the video, it's clear the couple shares a great sense of humor, as they both playfully fool around at the filling station.

The problem now is, the only space remaining in front is where d soakaway will be and aside from the conventional soakaway, which other option do I have.. I won't consider Biodigester because this is a rental property. Tenant hardly follow rules. The remaining space can manage two small car. The car will be parked ON d soakaway always and this bothers me. My dad's soakaway just went down on its own last year after 9 years and car is not even allow on it.
Someone is advising I consider the ring soakaway due to space. Is there any disadvantage to this ring's own..My land is not very hard, tho not swampy..its just in d middle. What other options do I have? Appreciate any response
There's actually nothing to fear if you want to park your vehicles on the slab of a soakaway/septic tank. All you need to do is build it the way it will serve that purpose and it will remain firm. You can get the services of a professional in the building environment or you can use any good artisan who knows it.
It's a very simple thing to achieve if you know what to do.

Christianity EtcRe: Can A Christian Still Be Holy With The Way The World Is Corrupt & Immoral? by bixton(m): 12:46pm On May 18, 2025
ebubeson:
The temptation for immorality, corruption, gambling, clubbing, hookup, gay, lesbianism, rituals, fraud, pornography, infidelity may be highest than ever before. Now, can a Christian still be holy with all these? Is holiness possible?.

A Christian in this era can even be holier than Christians who were in the era of no social media, low indecency, low corruption e.t.c. But one of the issues why it is more difficult to be holy in this era is not just the issue of immorality, corruption e.t.c, but the issue of no gospel power. If the undiluted gospel is preached with power and preached regularly in churches, many Christians will be transformed and become holy no matter the level of corruption and evil in the society. One of the things that kept Christians of old was not the fact that there was no social media, low corruption e.t.c, but that the gospel preached at that time was undiluted and with power.

If the church can go back to undiluted gospel with power and operate with the Spirit of God instead of religion, many Christians will be transformed into the image of Christ. But if the church focuses more on favour, religion, church tradition, worshipping of church, idolatory, prosperity, making money, marriages, riches, getting visas, progressing in career e.t.c, it may not have its people become holy.

Heb 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord"

You can start your journey into holiness by saying " Lord Jesus Christ, forgive all my sins, break the yoke of sin and come into my life today"

Find a good church. Happy Sunday!
Preaching the undiluted gospel of Christ Jesus is not the problem. The problem is living the life of a true holy christian. The Lord frowns at those who are only hearers of His Word and not doers.
It is written " I have givien you all things that pertain to life and godliness". .....godliness refers to all kinds of virtue.
