Does the Bible say that it is a must for a Christian to pay tithe? Yes or no?

Does the Bible say it is a must that a Christian should be circumcised? Yes or No...

All this go forth and back lashes will continue because it's all about religion and not about God and Christ Jesus.

The Bible has been given to man to read and understand. The Holy Spirit has been released through Christ Jesus to mankind to those who are of the Light to understand the Truth in the word of God.

Tithe will continue to become a thing of controversy to those who are controversies and controversial.

Ever wondered why the early Apostles of faithand especially Apostle Paul did not talk about Tithe outside of the Israel on his entire missionary journey.

The same reason he did not bother to make anyone to be circumcised and that was why he stood up to Apostle Paul to tell him why does he play the hypocrite when the Apostles and others distanced themselves from one of them who was not a Jew but was a Christian and believer who was not circumcized.

Even Jesus Christ himself used wisdom and avoided controversial people.
Ever wondered why would the Son of Man pay the temple tax when he was asked to when his disciple inquired of Him when they were asked of their Master does not pay the temple tax.......

Jesus comment still remains and will never change and He asked his disciple........whose inscription is on the coin and he responded Caesar's.

May the Lord enable us with His Spirit to apply God's wisdom in our everyday lives and living.

Even if this may be true, you have left out some aspects of the truth. So you can blame Wike to be economical with the truth while you're doing same thing.
Nevertheless, I still wonder if it's true that Wike abused PO out of PDP and he PO legt the party without telling AA, then it amazes me that PO who later became the LP Presidential aspirant still find it good and worthwhile to go to Wike who was still governor to solicit for help in getting votes to win the presidency!!!!
I don't still get it!!!
If the man couldn't help you while in the same party believing he Wike kicked PO out of PDP when it matters to have helped him become the presidential aspirant while will he Wike help him PO become president.....

“It’s funny how we quickly forget history. In 2014, when Emir Ado Bayero died, this same “Lagos Axis” flew into Kano, met with you as the then Gov of Kano, and lobbied for SLS to be made the Emir against the wishes of the majority of Kanawa, just to spite Jonathan (SLS wasn’t even part of the 3 contenders nominated by the Kingmakers then) .You agreed to it after “the Lagos Axis” promised to support your presidential ambitions in 2019.


I so much like it when they quarrel and the truth starts coming out in trickles.
Tomorrow, someone from no where will come and tell me that SLS is loved by kanawa......please who are the kanawas that love him?
I look forward to the court final judgment and ruling on the case.

Richtaiwo:
I think the case is settled. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is the Emir of Kano Emirate. Even though Nuhu Ribadu also recognised Aminu Ado as the Emir of Kano, I think the that of Shettima is more of the Fed govt position.

Well, appropriate authorities are yet to issue a clear statement in this regards.

What makes you feel that because Shettima says so means that is the FG position?
Have you heard PBAT say anything concerning such?
You have no idea who PBAT is on such matters and I think the Vice President can't speak for the FG about such.

I couldn't make any sense of what he is saying here if that is what was said by him. I guess those people he was and is telling such things are part of the educated illiterates who don't happen to know anything.
What has the bribery of NA members of the North over offshore assets in the South become harmful to the North?
I guess he should have told them that the meshiya and wheelbarrow pushers will also be paying their taxes to Lagos as well and they want to take their HQ to Lagos.

Ebubu9:
So Sanusi is now the official Emir of Kano ?

Don't worry the new CJN of the nation will shine her touch light on that at the right time.
The case in court is still on.
Nobody can tell what might happen.
But Ado Bayero remains in the palace that he is stationed along his security details.
Everyone has their cards to play.
For now, Emir SLS is playing local politics.

Interestingly not quiet long the WB said, the FG/Nigeria should hold on to their reform policies and stick to it be consistent and over a long duration the economy ans people will see the desired results.....
But look now, the IMF says the policies ain't working and it's putting the masses into more hardship...

Between the WB and IMF, which institution should Nigerians believe?

We know what a long term policy is but what is the FGs short term policy duration to know if it's working as predicted by the economy handlers?

Please to all those who watched the video, did he mention those Wike has betrayed and if yes, kindly please make it known.......

Also whether Wiike has worked in elsewhere before coming to politics should not be a thing of concern because many persons who have worked previously even in the private sector and managed to come into politics have never been fully able to demonstrate that so called credentials they possess.
This is Nigeria and many things actually don't work as it should be in an ideal country.

You are a shame

Your problem is tribal president, not person that will use his leadership mantle to improve the lots of the citizens and country at large

The Jonathan you are trying to placate, was that one a fit leader

Nonsense

I wish i could be tribalistic as you are and more so PBAT is not even from my region.

Nevertheless, can you point to the person you think is capable and fit leader to become president?

lereinter:
Funny analysis

Till it happens....
Then it won't be funny.

Just know that the North will not get to be President while it's the turn of the South. PGEJ made that mistake, PBAT will not do that. They will rather give it to the East.

Sworn in yesterday, and flagging off a road project today without contract bidding, no contractor, no environmental impact assessment, etc. Just like that.

Monday Okpebholo should stop playing to the gallery and cool down. He doesn't need to engage in this kind of razzmatazz just to be seen as working. He has four years ahead.

So you'll do an EIA fot an existing road that needs just several layers of different materials to be called a proper road?
Moreso, of what use is even an EIA for a road meant to achieve?
Does the government make know any findings if negative that will be harmful to those who reside in that area?

Sometimes, they don't need to bid for road contracts when ministry of works can handle it under direct labour. There are even some roads that can be handled by even ministry of Agriculture.

Four years is not much for many before him have come and have nothing worthwhile to show but the monies have been expended.

elder1002:
Before election, ATIKU SIDELINED THE SOUTH. Played party POLITICS in PDP expecially when the SOUTH was crying for chairmanship of the party since the north had the PRESIDENTIAL TICKET and the north also was the CHAIRMAN OF THE PARTY and the north held other KEY POSITIONS IN THE PARTY

What did ATIKU DO, he openly was quoting constitution instead of addressing the issue with equity, justice and love.. Knowing fully well this was the same issue we had at Federal level where the former president BUHARI gave all key positions, charman, directors of major to all federal works were north with highest appointments given to northern citizens yet he atiku called himself the UNIFIER.

HE SIDELINED THE G5 GOVERNORS with the confidence of him having majority of votes in the north and few of the 2/3 votes in the south and was too confident of him claiming the victory based on his analysis by his analyst.

ELECTION was over and APC retained the federal might because of atiku pride with obi's greed.

If atiku had convinced obi to stay one term with him and atiku had listened to the cry from the south and had interfered with the party POLITICS and given any of the south the PDP chairmanship i believe they would have defeated tinubu with wide margin.

But GREED, SELFISHNESS and PRIDE cost them the seat.

Northern man thinks he is born to rule nigeria and every other tribe isn't fit to rule Nigeria.

If pdp wants to reclaim seat on 2027, they should better first start by fixing their internal party issue where every region and tribe are considered fair and square and given power and appointment equally.

Atiku may likely not get the presidential ticket or become President at least not from or with the PDP.
Atiku is paying the price for his selfish ambition and playing northern politics above national politics. The moment Atiku and his likes sabotaged PDP, betrayed PGEJ and aligned himself with Buhari and Tinubu, he lost his chance of becoming President.
That same thing he sought for in APC thinking PMB will do a single term and handover to him was a childish joke of the century and now he has ran back to the PDP to contend against PBAT.
The heavens have placed and positioned Wike to deal with all parasites would deny the south their complete tenure.
Moreso, all those who had supported a Northerner to handover to another Northerner irrespective of party are all enemies of the rest of the geographical zones

BlindAngel:
Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.

Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.

So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.

To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.

So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.

I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.

Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.

Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.

I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.

I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.

I would only speak concerning the burial....
I wish you could tell us where exactly and be specific about the name of the village/community your wife is from for us to be able to ascertain if some of those things you're told to buy is your responsibility...

As long as you're married to her there are responsibilities as an inlaw that you would do but the issue of buying casket and somethings you mentioned there I can't say but ........
Maybe this is new but I don't know of any tradition in Nigeria where casket is bought by an inlaw.

Every mistake you had made even to the point of marrying her you'll have to live with it.
You made your decision even if you were cajoled into it. You'll have to live with it and it's consequences.

Divorce is not an option if you are a Christian for God detest divorce.
It's now in your place to ensure you advice you child that he/she should prioritize their happiness whenever they consider getting married.... E get why.

Hmm A man serving under Apc, deciding on the fate of another person in pdp. Who is doing juju for wike that pdp can't kick him out of the party? Or is pdp so weak that apc will be controlling them? I tired for naija style of politics

PDP cannot kick out Wike because what you think you know is bigger than what you don't know. The question you should ask yourself is....
(1) How many State governors both past a d present are able to actively bankroll PDP?
(2) How many persons in the entire South South are capable and able to do ensure that things are done effectively and efficiently?
(3) Do you know where the bulk of the salaries of the executive members of the party comes from and how they sustain it?



The old ways and days of the PDP is gone where so called founding fathers and those who had betrayed the party one way or the other only return because they see the party as the channel to get their political aspirations come to pass.
Wike stands and will remain till the injustice meted out to the South South by the Northern fulani elites in PDP is repaid them back in their own fold.

In Wike's voice, we from the South South are not second class citizens but if you are then Wike is not. If that may mean only him will stand. He will remain the last man standing. There's a purpose for everyone under heaven.
Wike knows his purpose.

Something is really out of place.
This comment alone is a proof that the Four Nigerian Refineries will no longer be functional and it's a very intentional thing.
It would be good the FG sells the refineries to the States(first right of privilege) on whose land they are and let them run it as they choose. They can be mergers for some States though.

Whatever the USA judges do about this case will remain in history....
Nevertheless, given the American way, Trump's conviction should stay it's course. He can enjoin immunity as President elect for the being and afterwards he would serve his term after he's tenure as President.
If they intend to strick out the case, then we can as well say that the USA and her presidents have no right to call African leaders or other nations or anyone else corrupt or a criminal.
They should preserve that which they want others to emulate. Otherwise it's just all whitewashed hypocrisy.

There's no reasonableness for the NNPC to buy anything petroleum products from Dangote refinery whatsoever. Since NNPC have decided that the four refineries can no longer refine then let their business with Dangote begin and end in them selling crude oil to Dangote refinery.
Any other thing they do will amount to gross amount of corruption still in existence behind shady deals.
Nigerians don't know how much is the crude oil sold to Dangote refinery in the Nigerian Naira!!!!
So much secrecy and half truths and lies in all of these.

You see all these people are serial time wasters.
I begin to imagine how former governor instituted the parliamentary system in the LGCA during his administration and what were the successes and failures recorded in all ?

The likes of Hon. Dogara are just funny. Imagine saying such about a constitution done in the '70s and 1999 constitution and you saw all the inadequacies but yet as Speaker of the House you did nothing tangible to ensure that such is amended or you and your House did not push to make a new constitution and you saw lapses in all of these even in your undergraduate days.!!!
Nigerian politicians are worse than vipers. They don't change anything meaningful when they are inside but would want to proffer solutions when they have been kicked out.

All these response and counter response will not solve anything. If Atiku is saying he is not envious of PBAT becoming T-pain and fostering hardship on Nigerians then will he also agree that he Atiku was jealous of PGEJ on fostering hardship on Nigerians when he Atiku, Buhari, Saraki, Tinubu protested and campaigned against that administration!!!? Can he agree to that as well because he seems to be one chronic fellow who only seems himself and no other.....
When Atiku was accused that he could not enter the USA, that he pleaded his way as an attachee diplomatic envoy to Saraki just to evade arrest from the USA security agencies and if that was not the case how come he has not gone into the USA afterwards or will some say he has no business there......of course not..

Its the law that put the FAAC allocation to Rivers State on hold and it is the law that will decide on its release.
Enough of all these talks, Rivers State irrespective of whatever it contributes to the federation is not the first State to have even suffered this but it's good that it came through thr FHC unlike that which happened which was done by POBJ and Lagos was able to meet the demands of the civil servants that period.
When people call Wike's name in all of these I just keep smiling cause i really don't play into deceitful political sentiments.
There are those of us who warned that this Wike who was fighting for the so called interest of South South when he fought against Amaechi and many applauded him as a lion will someday fight back and now it has happened and everyone is saying otherwise.
Let it all play out the way it is till the outcome of the courts justify it all.

A governor who refuses to stick to an agreement with his predecessor and boss, who turned his back on the peace pact agreement given him by PBAT which he attended to is now behind the scenes frying foul........!!!!
Let's all not forget when the RSHC was used to bring down enemies of Wike in Rivers State and any political party that was not on his side, all Rivers people were singing praises but refused to see the uncountable injustice done.
Today many have turned saints.
PBAT is not a novice.

Wike doesn't understand FCT......


The poor people have rich relatives.

He doesn't know that the poor people will fight back...

The people now believe that, Tinubu sent Wike to demolish houses at will....

He should face Rivers state alone. Bringing fight to the Abuja people will not be funny.

Wike is someone who knows his work. He rarely embarks on something without first hand getting certain specific details and information.
I can tell you of all the Ministers and former governors , Wike is someone who sits down to read and digest information before acting or he gets someone who briefs him steadily without reservations based on what he wants to know and act upon to be able not to be at fault from his own end.

JASONjnr:
But this is not the same with other countries that refined their own crude.

If not for corruption, why should a country who extract it's crude and refine it be selling on the same price with what international market is selling..... Except when they're exporting the goods.

That's how funny the country and all those who think they are smart, intelligent and knowledgeable who support these useless talks about allowing an investor to sell something done in the country based on international market prices!!!!!

Meanwhile this sets of ignoramus and nonsensical nonentities will never agree let the so called FG who claim the same market forces and backed international market prices pay also an international marked up living wage of her civil servants because it's only when it gets to that point, many will join the Keke napep that leads to high inflation and all that stupidity that comes from their lips.

After benefiting so much from the FG tax cuts and etc, they want to as the usual practice resp their investment within 1 year because Nigerians are gullible to everyone and everything said by notable sycophants.

Abia State Judiciary is currently on strike right now because Otti has refused to pay them their arrears and allowances from FG to cushion effect of the economy on civil servants.

Yes, it's a continuous cycle of deceit and untrust and to hide ones mischievous ways when asked about how true such is given to accountability.
That's why when he is about to complete his tenure and it's seems like the EFFC wants to investigate him, you'll hear it's a political witch hunt.

Pay attention Nigerians, the dams are to be built only in the southwest states by the government at the center. There is flooding all over Nigeria, why is it expedient to have these projects only in the Southwest?.

These projects will be financed with oil and gas money of the South East and South South states, including the various taxes they and others pay to the center.

Is this the Nigeria you want?.

Yes that is the Nigeria we prayed for...
The North had their chance and we saw what they did.
The South South had their golden opportunity and we saw it all.
The South West is now there minus former POBJ and they are only just starting.
Whenever it gets to the turn of the South East, I wish them good luck......
I look forward to the era of the North Central and let's see what they will achieve.
