Maami As A Christian, Would You Allow Your Son Marry Former Blue Film Actress? - VeryDarkMan

Nigerian activist has thrown a question to the Christian community following a tweet made by a popular adult entertainment model, Elizabeth who tweeted that she was retiring from the adult entertainment industry and that she has now given her life to Christ.

VDM in a six minute video calls on every Christian to genuinely tell him if they will give out their son in marriage to the model.

Watch the video below.

It's very easy for anyone to say he/she is a Christian.
But first, what you should ask yourself is why do you think you are a Christian and what qualifies you to be one....
Secondly, there's nothing wrong for one who says he is a Christian to get married to an ex adult entertainment star who says she is now repentant and a Christian.
The question to ask is what are the signs that such one is now repentant....

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.

The young lady, identified as @Aridunu_jones on X (formerly Twitter), shared her experience online, questioning the relevance of her posting to her field of study.

In her words: “God will help me and judge NYSC. When I studied Mass Communication, you guys now posted me to a BAKERY. BAKERY OOOO!!!”

She called on God for help and expressed confusion over the decision, sparking reactions online.

As her post gained traction, concerned users flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and offer support.

@DrMel_: “You can be their PR person? Opportunities don’t always look like opportunities sometimes.”

@lekan_olayinka1: “Will the masses not buy bread? Will you not communicate with them?”

@orukusuku: “What happened to you managing the Public Relations Department of the Bakery?”

@Tim_krux: “Your skills in mass communication would come in handy in advertising bread.”

I find it hard to believe that this graduate does not know that she can be helpful to this establishment given what she studied in the tertiary institution!!!!!!

May God give her wisdom to make herself useful in this bakery and create a niche.

After using it for Islamic study they'll graduate and become JAMB Registrar.

FILEBE:
Thanks. Well, articulated. Someone said the "over engineering part" but I just needed to hear from here. Now I am convinced . Damp proof only then. One shouldn't waste money anyhow..

Thanks once again. You were really convincing.

You need to be a true follower of certain engineers who have a mix of academic work and proper and thorough field work experience to know the reasons why any engineer would require a DPM or not.


Just this few questions for you....
(1) What's the height of your foundation from natural ground level?

(2) Does that environment experience flooding after rainfall ?

(3) Are there proper drainage already constructed within that environment and surroundings?

(4) Is there any natural water body to a depth of 6 feet or borrow pit within a radius of 500 metres around that area?

Gracefilled01:
Quite sad to see him break the rules with this level of impunity. No regard for his party, no regard for anyone. Anyways, here in Nigeria, anything goes.

Yes, in Nigeria anything goes.
You don't expect someone who sweats and foot the bills of the party to just be sleeping while those who brought nothing have their way and say....
No, it doesn't work that way. That kind of stupidity ended a long time ago.

nairalanda1:
How else do we earn the revenue to pay a living wage?

You can't pay a living wage on a budget of 30 trillion naira, before corruption

But the legislators can be paid those huge entitlements they collect and those who steal our common wealth through over bloated contracts and those who abandon projects and still get and all their cronies smile?

Gracefilled01:
It got me wondering how Wike is still a PDP member. Guy's been doing anti-party activities back to back, no one thought to section him. He is obviously bigger than the entire party and their rules.

If they sanction him who is there in the party that will feed those hungry ones in the party?
Who in the party will bring out their stolen funds 100% without having sleepless night that they may be overrun by others who did not bring anything?

Zico5:
Wike of all people. Some people think Wike is somebody. Wike himself know he dare not try it. This is a joke taken too far. They thought because wike is using thuggery and mouth with the backing of Tinubu that the guy is strong. Who in his right sense will vote someone like wike as the president. This country is truly at it's lowest ebb.

Tell me the difference between Wike and President Donald Trump?

nairalanda1:
,

We have to copy their industrial economy first though.

What is the industrial economy without the people having to be paid a living wage?

nairalanda1:
Australia has a compulsory voting law as do several other countries including Brazil and Argentina

Some African countries like Egypt have a compulsory voting law on the books, though not enforced as it should be

As we like to copy certain things from foreign countries, let's also copy how to ensure we pay a living wage because these foreign countries don't know what is a minimum wage.....

Sodiq3:
https://guardian.ng/news/bill-to-jail-non-voters-scales-second-reading-at-house-of-reps/

We will put a court injunction to it.
A country that does not and cannot protect her citizens is making a law for compulsory voting and penalties for not voting.

In a country since 1999 till date no legislator can show us the actual amount been paid them as monthly entitlements.
We are complete jokers.

franchasng:
Whenever Tinubu does something good and commendable, I applaud him. To be honest, I really applaud this initiative, it's a good step in the right direction.


We Igbos do not hate Bola Tinubu, we only want the best for Nigeria. We want Tinubu to lead Nigeria with honesty, sincerity of purpose and with zero corruption, nepotism and tribalism. If Tinubu does the right thing and makes Nigeria work, honestly I will become his first fan and praisesinger but don't expect me and other Igbos who cherish competence and merit to be praising Tinubu when he is failing just to make Yorubas happy, it doesn't work that way.


Well done Tinubu, please don't let this initiative be an audio one like some things you have embarked on in the past. Make it work, also hasten on the State Police, stop dragging your leg because of your selfish political interest

Sarcasm....

(1) Please what is the name of that your Igbo/Ibo State and name of State governor?
(2) Is your Igbo/Ibo State governor among those who have agreed to the formation of State policing?
(3) Is it PBAT that is delaying the formation of the State Police in the 36 States and FCT?
(4) The LG autonomy has your Igbo/Ibo State governor allowed his LGA chairmen to open the accounts as requested by CBN?
(5) Has your Igbo/Ibo governor started an State Power Project so as to take his State out from the national grid?

dollarnaira:
Please is it proper to stack blocks together using plaster sand instead of normal sharp sand?

Someone told me that it is gradually becoming a norm.

Though I have seen and confirmed where laterite was used in place of plaster sand.

I want to believe the your use of term "stack" means blocks with mortar mix are laid one on top another horizontally and vertically.
If that's the case then it's only advisable that one uses sharp sand and portalnd cement.



I hope you are not mixing it up.
The only time where clay is used in place of plastering sand or gum sand is when plastering works or rendering on walls is to be done.

Hi everyone, can anyone kindly recommend who can handle central sewage system for small facility?

Where is the site location and is there an existing design drawing for the project?

Owaincouncil:
How many house did the government built to achieve this or they want to tell me how to charge my tenants on the house I use bank loan to build where collecting monthly rent will have negative impact on the interest been paid back.

This government is insensitive and lack direction.

Are you not also insensitive?
Is it because we are living in a lawless country?
If the government decides to enact that law and put a task force committee for full implemention and prosecute anyone violating with strict penalities, will you be saying that which you have spoken?
Are we not in the same country where someone goes to the bank to take a loan at 5% interest and before the end of 60 days the bank writes and informs you that due to CBN new policy there's an increase to 12% !!!!!
Is it only the landlord that borrows loans from the bank or do tenants not also borrow loans and suffer the same though at different degrees?

In this administration when it comes to meeting of timelines for projects I can only give it and trust the FCT Minister to deliver on the timeline made known to the public.
But you see this Minister of Power is a complete No, No. When they finally finish then you'll hear an increase in tariffs in power at consumer ends.

IJAYA001:
Out of twelve disciples, there must be a Judas. You betrayed your own brother because of politics and now tell me has Buhari done better than Jonathan?. IRE O

How did he betray his brother?
Was he not part of those who supported the brother when Yar'Adua died and the Northern cabal hid it and refused to allow Jonathan become President till the National Assembly came out with the "Doctrine of Necessity".

When the First Lady snatched microphone from him in a public event what did you do about it?

What was his offense against his brother?

Do you know any brother who follows blindly even when he has come of age, matured and not lacking in understanding and knowledge and knowing?


What exactly did his brother do in Rivers State?


When PGEJ was adviced by the then PDP national chairman to make peace with CRA and they settle their differences, the handlers of PGEJ felt too big to abide to the advice. They felt they can undo and undermine CRA.
Well, where are all of them today....!?

This things are not hard to do and get changes physically. It's just the same way people hustle for money.
When you put the right things in place then in three months, six months and in the twelveth month you'll physically see the positive changes not some paper projections.

When the President was traveling, opposition were saying all sorts, now the Amir of Qatar has sent his foreign minister to seal the deal. What an elderly sees sitting down, a child wouldn't see climbing an iroko tree. God bless Nigeria.

Till we see those deals turn into reality and not just on paper for 100 years then we can all kiss the truth.

These people easily say this allegations and when you ask them of proofs, you'll have to wait forever except you get a court order for them to produce what they alledged another of freely wanting us to believe they have good conscience.

Wallade:
Whichever way you wanna spin this discussion, you must recognize that there is no substitute for legal and corporate resolution. Every other solution, including withholding 10% allocation to the Area Councils, that are illegal and unconventional are unacceptable.

The current local government chairmen in Abuja - FCT will be out of office soon, this year. They will lose the case in court and with the sustained strike in place, they, or the new chairmen, will bow to the pressure eventually.

If I am in the shoes of the teachers, we will sustain the strike since it is out last resort.

In the shoes of the FCT Minister, I will continue to consult the Teachers Association and the group of Chairmen on the need to promptly and regularly pay the salaries of LG staff, minimum wage. The FCT minister can also consult with the new Chairmen once they get elected into office to ensure the outstanding bills on the Area Councils are paid promptly.

You have responded well.

I just did some findings.
Talks started December 2024 and for some reasons the teachers/union staged a walk out.
Officially this strike which is an indefinite one started March 2025 because when they received their February salaries the minimum wage was implemented by the LGA chairmen.


We were told that the LGA chairmen complained about money and the FCT Minister gave them whatever was their request as it concerns more funds to meet up the minimum wage implemention and payment. But the LGA chairmen all in collaboration thought otherwise.

For the FCT Minister to have resorted to withholding 10% now in May 2025 of the statutory funds it means which the Area Council Chairmen received extra funds when they complained and got same for the months of February, March and April. They all acted contrary not to pay the stipulated increase agreed.

Is that not a direct insult on the person of the FCT Minister who released such funds to them and as I perceive someone somewhere is trying a power play through the chairmen with the Minister!!!!!

Why do you think he would want to act as a mediator between the teachers and the Area Council Chairmen ?

The FCT LGA elections is already slated for February 2026.

At first it all started like it's the FCT Minister who does not want to pay the teachers till we were told they all fal within the jurisdiction of the Area Council Chairmen....

There are only 6 Area Council Chairmen in the FCT and they are all acting the same script. Don't you think something is really wrong and the Minister doesn't want to go down that lane with them but only wait till the expiration of their tenure.

Obinnau:
Yes, but this is AI response.

Interestingly a consultant and purported professional is getting answers from AI from a purported client. So much for industry knowledge and understanding.

That's the level of intelligence people tend to show and they think they are smart, but na AI smart.

Every occasion has its kind of dressing, both formal and informal and still be casual.

So good to have someone like you here.
An Apt analysis

Thanks.
We all need to see political plays differently, irrespective of party affiliation and tribe and when the circumstances and opportunities show themselves then those who have it should do well to utilize same to building a lasting ideology and not something that will not be more than 8 years. Know when to make good useful of the opposition by the incumbent and vice versa and also ensuring that the nations economy is also addressed and it doesn't suffer to the point that it completely falls down.

Wallade:
If you want to take it as an advice, fine.

However, it is one of the possible legally options open to the FCT Minister in the effort to compel the area council chairmen to pay the teachers salary.

I am just not favorably disposed to addressing the impasse with lawless and illegal efforts.

The advice is all of us. Everyone loves peace.

It's good you're an advocate for lawful, legal process and systems in place.

Let's address issues in real time.


Put yourself in the shoes of the teachers and the FCT Minister.

I don't know how many months they have not been paid their salaries and we all know the economy of the nation irrespective of geographical location.


Let's say the Minister initiates a court case .
How many months do you think it will take to come to a conclusion, assuming the Minister follows through and we don't have to hear that he has bribed any judge to get favourable judgment from the Nigerians who hate him !!!

Let's say the Area Council Chairmen all follows through and takes their case to the Supreme Court. How many months or years would it take before the teachers would finally receive their entitlements?

Dogalmighty17:
Let's make sense of this.

INEC is prosecuting the professor for announcing fake results in support of Akpabio. Results which gave Akpabio victory and a senate seat. Yet the same INEC gave Akpabio a certificate of return. How does this make sense? Why was Akpabio's election not invalidated?

Secondly, do not pity any professor or indeed any member of ASUU. They are behind every rigging of elections in Nigeria. I have personally witnessed these professors and university staff change the results of a governorship election. This happened in the head collation centre located in a federal university. They were so blatant and unafraid.

Despite the presented evidence of rigging and massive allocations of votes, the supreme court still gave the sitting governor the election. That's when I gave up on our judiciary.

Were you called to give witness statement in the court?

Wallade:
Even if you are so fanatical about Wike or any politician or you are on the payroll of any politician, common sense should guide your contributions on social media or in any platform where you have to communicate your position because people would assess you on the basis of your contributions and determine if you are sensible or otherwise.

Again, I emphasize that Wike's decision to Withhold 10% of funds due to the Area Councils is illegal and it must be communicated to him clearly.

You should not cut off the head because you want to cure headache for someone. Whatever is illegal is simply illegal and every attempt to justify illegality must be rebuffed.

Now, that FCT Minister wants to withhold the 10%, how does Wike intend to pay the Teachers? Does FCT Ministry have their payroll? Can FCT ministry debit accounts of teachers in Abuja and credit whatever account they put the 10%?

Withholding it is to put pressure on the Chairmen to pay the salaries (minimum wage), FCT ministry can't directly effect the payment legally.

If the FCT minister so much cares, it is only the court that can order an aggregate of the salary of Teachers and or Staff of the area councils and freeze it in the account of the area councils monthly and subsequently decide to pay the sum to the teachers upon a court order.

Please feel free to share with us, the loop hole in the law, that you said Wike is exploring to withhold the 10% allocation.

We are waiting on you!

You sound intelligent and your lots are much in NL.

Can we say the bolded is your advice?

Wallade:
I don't think it is within the rights of the FCT minister to pay bills of the Area Councils for the payroll of teachers.

That bill is statutory payment under Area Councils (Local Government).

However, I can't completely fault Wike for toing this line of withholding 10% of fund due to Area Councils in Abuja.

Funds due to Area Councils should be remitted to Area councils not spent on their behalf.

Teachers went on strike in FCT and everyone is blaming PBAT and Wike.
Minister Wike has found a loophole in the law and is ensuring what is best so that the teachers are paid, we are here arguiywith what is right and what is not....

Do you not know that it's not the Ministers' right to repair those same schools and roads to those schools within those Area Councils but he does them !!!!


If it's not done , it's the same Nigerians that will still complain.


If they start to label roads and infrastructure, etc, etc distinguishing which is for LGA, State and the FG, you'll be shocked.



Please respond to this question....

So if Wike remits the Area Councils their full entitlements and they refuse to do their own part, what should be done if you were the FCT Minister?
Please advise. Thanks.

Smartcitizen:
Dagogo is a citizen of River State and one of the people who elected the governor, so you can't call him an interloper in this case.

It's not all about the governor alone, it is also about the elected office of the governor of River State.

Are you sure Farah Dagogo voted for Fubara !!!!

Do you know the history between Farah Dagogo, Wike and Fubara prior to the PDP primaries in Rivers State?

Moreso, what exactly is there to challenge even when the Rivers State Governor himself is not a party to such?
