what happens inside this hall - is it a shopping mall

In my life - God has been good to me because i have put him first especially in the area of my finances and i understand that everything i have belongs to God.  I have been prospering even though their is a recession in the U.K

Please understand - God love towards us is unconditional irrespective whether you acknowledge him as your provider or not - But one thing is for sure recognising you are a steward provokes the heavenly system on your behalf. which one would you prefer the failed financial system of this world or God's guaranteed system

The general definition of steward - One who manages another's property, finances, or other affairs. We must remember that everything we have belongs to the Lord, so that what we do possess is not our own but what God has entrusted to us; We have no rightful ownership of our possessions

We must decide within our hearts to serve God to serve God and not money

Mat 6:19 Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.
Mat 6:20 But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:
Mat 6:21 For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!
Mat 6:24 No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

The bible makes it plain that any greed is form of idolatry

Col 3:5 Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;


Deu 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

If you are Christian all your resources are for the the advancement of the kingdom of God, especially the work of the local church and the spread of the gospel throughout the world, to help those who are in need, to lay up treasures in the heaven. Please understand that God knows you have needs but he says trust me first and God will take care you more than you can ever take care of yourself.

Our giving should always be in proportion to our income.

Our giving should be voluntary and generous

God has promised to reward us according to how we have given to him.


Imagine if God takes your talent, health, wisdom - you are left with nothing - so does it not make sense acknowledge God first

Tonye-t:
Stop being childish here, show everyone in clear text a passage that TITHING IS ANULLED! enough of jumping here and there, and if you come up here to tell us it was a LAW then pls do well to show where it was stated that TITHING IS/WAS A LAW.

Dont mind - this yeye people - Money has a strong hold over them and are just hiding behind the excuse of whether tithing was part of the law and it is now abolished

I once heard "  Religion is what left behind when God has left building"  Judging by the Nigerian standard one can safely conclude that quote is absolutely correct. Nigeria has one of the highest of number of so called followers of christ and is it not also amazing that the level of individual corruption is also high.  One fails to understand why this is so.

In Nigeria today doctrine of Christ has been turned around for self gain.  When the word " Religion" is mentioned in the NT the word " True " is placed in front of  religion meaning the bible understands that they are many religions.

Because you lack understanding i would advice you pay the rent - so that your ignorance does not make you homeless as well

blinx4real:
@blacksta,  you mean we give the contratc to ministry workers who will collect the IGRs pay it into their own pockets and also go on strike when their salaries are delayed,  please spare me

There is no cost to doing things right! if I spend 10naira and get a returns of 2 naira or spend 100naira and get a returns of 1mill which one is wiser,  think b4 u post please.!

So you are telling me with all the excellence of BRF the man cannot build an inhouse tax collection outfit that will render a more cost effective service for the tax payers.  I dont think the problem is whether a ministry or inhouse outfit can render a better service but more centred on corruption.  

I strongly believe that the Alpha beta model is just a legitimate method of stealing money.  If the system were that good what do you think will happen to arrangement when another party is in government

The whole process of paying a company 15% of IGR reeks of corruption and a waste of tax payers money . Lets be sensible here it is just not fair.

love it " I still love pounded yam"

Yo formunt did you borrow money from cyberG that u did not pay back - wetin u do the guy.

You know Nigerians they like concerts and Dbanj and co probably see this as another opportunity to rake in some cash. I dont know if anybody remembers the "Light Up Nigeria movement" upon all the noise it turned into a mere concert and up till today we are still in darkness - Guess what some artists made money out it

An anti American in it entirety does mean you hate everything American but rather to the opposition of American policies most probably on foreign land

ElRazur:
Look clearly you are not intelligent. The epicenter of the earthquake was different from what we know. Besides, "my sources" said the US used a machine called HARRPP to generate that tremendous amount of energy. So, it must be true.

Your sources must be weed smokers as well Lol _ Harrrp ko star ni

Pharoh:
Interesting Thread.

Are u sure _ dont u think these anti American people are brainwashed by their Hollywood fantasies

Dont you guys know they are some weed smoking conspiracy theorist called Sam and Negro_nts on the foreign section who think the U.S used an earthquake machine against haiti on the guise to take control over the country new recently discovered oil .  That is the most silliest thing i have heard in this new year

ybab:
O ma ga oh.

How come nobody has named any project fashola has done ( not inherited from tinubu oh)

Dont worry the chief spokesperson (baba pupa will soon visit your thread)

I also understand the man spent 6 months away while he was governor of Katsina . That itself should have been a signal that the man get serious issues

President Umaru Yar‘Adua has spent at least 109 days for medical reasons in foreign hospitals abroad, since May 29, 2007 when he was inaugurated.

The number of days he has spent in Germany and Saudi Arabia on medical grounds is almost a quarter of the number of working days he has spent as president.

Like every other public office holder and civil servant in the country, the President also enjoyed about 295 days of weekends and public holidays during the same period; which means the President could have spent more than 400 days in total out of office.

The public holidays are New Year, Id-el-Maulud, Easter, May Day, Democracy Day, Id-el- Fitr, National Day, Id-el-Kabir, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Workers enjoy 14 days as public holidays yearly on the average.

In 2009 alone, the President spent almost a quarter of the 146 working days away from his office, having been away for 50 days on two medical trips (August, November and December) and having enjoyed 14 days that were observed as public holidays in the country.

Were Yar‘Adua a Senator or House of Representatives member in 2009, he would have been absent from plenary sessions for more than 50 per cent of the 181 sitting days the National Assembly has in a year.

For being away from office for more than 42 days within one calendar year, the President is believed to have contravened Paragraph 070316, chapter seven of the Public Service Rules 2006.

The chapter states: “Where an officer has been absent from duty on the grounds of ill-health for an aggregate period in excess of 42 calendar days within 12 calendar months, the officer should be made to appear before a medical board with a view to being ascertained whether he or she should be invalidated from service.”

According to paragraph 010101, chapter one of the same rules, the conditions are applicable to the President, vice-president, and other public officers who derive their appointment from the constitution.

Yar’Adua has made only a few official foreign trips since he became President.

In comparison, former United States President George Bush had no record of absence from the White House in Washington DC between May 29, 2007 and January 20, 2009 when he left office.

His successor, Barrack Obama, has also had no cause to be out of office on medical grounds since January 20, 2009 when he was inaugurated as President.

But in terms of travelling outside the US on official duties, Bush and Obama far surpass Yar‘Adua. Their numerous trips to foreign countries on bilateral grounds and for international conferences/summits have not only sustained America’s position as the only surviving super power, but has also strengthened its economy.

The reverse, however, is the case in Nigeria, where Yar’Adua, as a sitting President, has been reluctant to attend major global events, including the 2009 United Nations General Assembly conference in New York, where he would have interacted with fellow heads of states and governments.

The President had, on April 14, 2008, travelled to Germany for a medical check-up, for 10 days.

About four months after, (August 27, 2008), Yar’Adua embarked on yet another medical trip, this time to Saudi Arabia, where he spent 18 days. Like the previous one, the nature of his illness was not made known to Nigerians, giving room to rumours that it was kidney failure. He returned on September 6, 2008.

Almost a year after (August 14, 2009), Yar‘Adua travelled again to Saudi Arabia, where he stayed till August 25 before returning to Nigeria after undergoing another round of treatment. He spent 11 days.

Today marks the 70th day since he travelled on November 23, 2009 to Saudi Arabia, where he is currently undergoing treatment for acute pericarditis, an inflammation of the outer membrane of the heart.

Apart from his rumoured death twice, some reports also had it that he had suffered brain damage and that he was on life support.

Although Presidential spokesman, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi; the Chief Economic Adviser to the President, Dr. Tanimu Yakubu; and the Nigerian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Alhaji Abdullah Aminchi, denounced all the reports as false, intrigues by members of the Federal Executive Council and the National Assembly, as well as legal fireworks over Yar‘Adua‘s continued absence from the country have heightened.

In the Federal Executive Council, some members of Yar‘Adua‘s kitchen cabinet, including the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa, are alleged to be the brains behind the ailing President‘s reluctance to make Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan the acting President.

Yet, Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution provides that, “whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such functions shall be discharged by the vice-president as acting President.”

Good will bless Gov Jang, Berom and Anga people for teaching Dirty Stinking Hausa/Fulanis that language they understood.
Look at Dirty Stinking Hausa/Fulani opening their Gworo mouth saying, Christain indigenous owners of Jos committed genocide against them, I just dey laugh.
Those Goats should listen, Berom people didn't kill any Human being, rather they killed unwanted Goats.

Ex governors had taken more money with them than any body. Tinubu is planning to establish a mega News Paper Factory and
there was Governor before Tinubu, who had taken so much money than can be counted. There was Arkigbe, and Warwa go to them find out what was with the money.
Foolish people leave this man alone.

Wrong mentality bros - no wonder we are very backward - One's lower level of malpractices cannot not automatically class one as a saint amongst crooks. A thief is still a thief whether is N1 or N1 billion. With fashola it looks like the cookie is crumbling as his backers require access to the coffers - which is very sad considering his achievement for Lagos.

Old new bros

Congrats to Egypt

Three times in a row  - very impressive  - Nigeria should model against their style of play ( although i doubt)

see them  - they already collapsing  - north cheats
