God help him. His wahala, his business.

Vanquay:
Chinese/Chinese immigrants are very racist, if you go to a store, they only employ their family, you won't even tell the difference. Even American Chinese aren't all that better off...Their racism is right up there with Indians or am I lieing strahovski1 ?

Only East Asians and islanders like S/Koreans, Japanese and phillipinos appear decent...maybe pakistanis too.

......will those excuses of yours be the reasons for them to steal and burn his house? .

Some people with different comments?

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.”  Ps 34:18 NIV

Coping with grief (2)

One woman said, “I’d no idea grieving involved so many ‘firsts.’ My first night alone, the first time I attended church alone, my first anniversary alone. And when I didn’t think things could get worse, I find myself bracing for the holidays alone—I’d give anything to boycott them.” In such moments we can stand on the promise, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” He offers us the comfort of His presence and His Word, the support of loving friends and family, plus the passage of time to help heal us. In the meantime there are some things you can do for yourself: (1) Draw on God’s strength. Grief is physically and emotionally draining. So ask God to protect you from being consumed by it, and to strengthen you when you’re feeling down. “He gives strength to the weary…those who hope in the Lord…renew their strength” (Isa 40:29, 31 NIV). (2) Have reasonable expectations about what you can handle. Don’t expect too much too soon. Treat yourself like you’d treat your best friend; be kind, considerate, and nurturing. (3) Try to plan ahead. When you’re grieving there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to handle special events like birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Some people decide to do something totally different instead of trying to maintain old traditions that reinforce their sense of loss. Do what feels best to you. (4) Allow others to help you. Going it alone usually means going nowhere; reach out to friends and loved ones. Ask them to pray with you and for you. Remember, others don’t necessarily know what you need unless you tell them.

“Jesus wept.”  Jn 11:35

Coping with grief (1)

Dr. Colin M. Parkes said, “Grief is the price we pay for love.” The more you love someone, the more you grieve their death. Shock, disbelief, confusion, depression, emptiness, and anger are all part of the process. When Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus, His friend had been dead for four days and his sister Martha was upset. She wanted to know why Jesus hadn’t come sooner, or prevented it altogether. “Why, Lord?” It’s a question we ask when we’re overwhelmed with grief. And what was Jesus’ response? The Bible says that seeing Mary and the other mourners, “Jesus wept.” And when He did, He made it okay for you to grieve too! Tears don’t represent a lack of faith; they just mean you’re human. The One who gave you the ability to love understands sorrow and loss—that’s why He gave you tears. How do we mourn? One counselor says: “Awkwardly. Imperfectly. Usually with a great deal of resistance. Often with anger and attempts to negotiate…We flounder through kicking and screaming, until we reach that peaceful state called acceptance.” But acceptance doesn’t mean giving in to despair, because “the parting is for a moment and the reunion is for eternity.” Paul says: “We will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality…then the saying that is written will come true: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory’” (1Co 15:51-54 NIV).

Well, as a sensible honorable minister of agriculture, do all in your power to start preventing that from now.

Learn some lesson from Joseph in the bible Mr. Minister.

We voted for you guys because there's too much corruption in the system. So, ride on sir, more than 90% of Nigerian are behind you. The other 10% are just wailers, and who cares about them?

“In a loud voice they sang: ‘Worthy is the Lamb.’”  Rev 5:12 NIV

Free to worship God

When it comes to salvation, there’s only one way. Jesus said, “I am the way” (Jn 14:6 NIV). But when it comes to worship, there are many ways. Each generation discovers the same thing: The music that turns grandchildren on, turns grandparents off. So let’s stop arguing over personal preferences when it comes to the worship style we enjoy. “They all sang a new song to the Lamb…‘every tribe, language, people and nation’” (Rev 5:9 NCV). We all worship the same Lord, and the only thing He asks is a sincere heart. That’s the case whether it’s country, rap, calypso, or high-church organ music. God doesn’t require us to express our love for Him in identical ways, but He does require us not to pass judgment on how others do it. When the Bible says, “They all sang a new song to the Lamb,” do you seriously think they all had the same music style? The great spiritual awakening that took place under the Wesley brothers and gave birth to the Methodist Church featured soul-stirring hymns like “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing.” Yet many sincere Christians of the day condemned the melody because it was similar to barroom music. One of the dangers in growing older lies in wanting to keep things the way they are, insisting others agree with us, and judging them as “unspiritual” when they don’t. Paul wrote, “I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some” (1Co 9:22). Note the words “all means.” As long as someone’s song is “to the Lamb,” God accepts it—and we must too!

“Diotrephes…loves to have the preeminence.”  3Jn 9 NKJV

The spirit of Diotrephes

Some people are so insecure and easily threatened that they feel a need to tear down anyone they perceive as a competitor. Consider Diotrephes, one of the New Testament church leaders. He found himself in a real dilemma when John recommended some gifted teachers of the gospel to come and speak at his church. Plagued with insecurity, Diotrephes feared their visit would threaten his own preeminence, so he refused to allow them to come. John, upset with Diotrephes’ behavior, outlined to his friend Gaius how he planned to deal with it. “I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God” (vv. 9-11 NKJV). The sad truth is that you’ll find the spirit of Diotrephes alive and well in both secular and sacred organizations. They cast aspersions on newcomers perceived as threatening. They accuse bright, talented women of getting ahead by means other than their skills, talents, and qualifications. They look for chinks in their victims’ armor. But contrary to what they think, diminishing another person’s image isn’t going to enhance theirs. The word “slander” derives from the word diabolos, which means “devil.” Ouch! So don’t indulge in the work of the Devil!

Is he coming to beat the judge nii? . Let him come, he will meet us here. Instead of him to advise them to go and pay their fines.

unite4real:

XYZ. as soon as you call any other person who has truecaller, your identity will be revealed to the person.

truly? Like seriously?

I might as well download it then. One world data base coming up.

enigma2007:
The fact that you did not download it does not mean it's not on somebody's contact and that might have been uploaded to Truecaller.. So either ways, you are going to be affected.

“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence.”  Heb 4:16 NIV

Grace

The Bible says: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (vv. 15-16 NIV). Dr. Tony Evans says that God’s grace is like an ambulance coming to treat you when you’ve a medical emergency. First, it dispenses immediate grace to your most serious symptoms. Then they slide you into the ambulance, which is equipped with more grace—more medical facilities to deal with your problem. Then the ambulance races to the hospital where even more grace awaits. And once you’re admitted, the hospital keeps dispensing grace until your need has been addressed and you can go home again. In the words of John Newton’s beloved hymn: “’Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.” One day Jesus heard our emergency call: “Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.” He came to earth, found us dying in sin, and reached down to save us. And as our High Priest, He transported us from where we were to a place that has all the grace we’ll ever need until we go home with Him. One day God will sit on a throne of judgment where there’ll be no more grace, but until that day He’s seated on a throne of grace. So anytime you fail or falter, you can “approach the throne of grace with confidence” and receive God’s mercy and forgiveness.

“Why do you cry out over your wound?”  Jer 30:15 NIV

Healing your emotional wounds

God asks His people, “Why do you cry out over your wound, your pain that has no cure?” Then He answers, “But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds” (v. 17 NIV). If there’s anything more insidious than the rage, frustration, and other negative things that come out of us and wreck our relationships, it’s the inner source from which they originate. Festering wounds from past relationships are dangerous wounds. You say, “But you don’t know how badly this person hurt me.” The point is they’re still hurting you, so how can you cleanse and heal the wound? God’s way is to tell it like it is! He doesn’t put a bandage on an infected wound—He demands that the problem be dealt with. We need to understand that He’s willing to repair the broken places in our lives; all He requires of us is to expose where those places are. Only Jesus can walk us through the barrier of time and into our wounded past. Certainly one of the most important steps to healing is to forgive from the heart—to acknowledge the wound and the anger, and then let it go. And it can be tough to do, but there can be no freedom or healing without forgiveness. Bitterness will eat you alive if you don’t forgive. It’ll wreak havoc on your present-day relationships. God will give you the grace to forgive and let it go, but you must make the choice to be cleansed of resentment by forgiving the offender. There is no other way to peace and freedom.

In all honesty, I don't see anything wrong for him in expressing himself like this though. Let him have his freedom of speech. I think majority on this medium, even on facebook has made worse comment against the former government than this.

There could be other hiding things they nicked him for sha oooo.

What has Biafran agitation got to do with this? They want to be relevant and the end result will not be good for them @ all.

No country in the world will support hostage situation or terrorism. You guys will make things worse for yourselves the moment one of the hostages die. The whole world world will come after you and there won't be any safe haven for you.

You lots better be warned. Even Tompolo is trying to make his peace with the federal government now. So, the federal and international force will come after you and you guys will regret your sorry life.

“God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.”  Ro 12:6 NLT

Minor and major gifts

To excel at anything, you must discover your major gifts and put them to work. One of Paul’s minor gifts was making tents to help support his ministry, but clearly his major gift was teaching and building churches. You say, “How can I discover my major gifts?” (1) Get God’s input. Who knows the product better than the manufacturer? You didn’t create yourself, so there’s no way you can tell yourself what you were created for. But God can, and He will. “If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get His help, and He won’t be condescending when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought” (Jas 1:5-6 TM). (2) Commit for the long haul. When you were first learning to walk you spent more time on your bottom than on your feet. But you succeeded. That’s because you were born to walk! You may discover your major gifts quickly and easily, but developing them to their maximum potential will be the work of a lifetime. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. (3) Get feedback from the right people. Asking others for feedback isn’t always easy, but it’s essential to success. Never be too proud to seek help. And if you’re a “loner” here’s a Scripture you need to ponder: “There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone” (Jdg 18:28 NKJV). A word of caution, however: Choose people who have no agenda other than to help you.
