Only a fool compares ipob to boko haram or bandits

Have ipob ever challanged the Nigerian government ? ...have they claimed any part of nigeria ? .. a none armed pressure group is who u compare to boko haram

I don't support ipob ...but if bandit could be brought to the table to talk I don't see reason ,Ipoh demand should not be listened to ...all ipob ask is a fundamental human right
Is their request for Biafra not challenging the Nigerian government, or are you the fool for not knowing ipob objectives? How does it differ from the Islamic caliphate that boko haram want?

Atheists would tell you some magical force was responsible for their own creation. Ask them for proof of this magical force, and see how ridiculous they get by posting stupid links upandan. SMH
Really? Perhaps they don't just want to call their "some magical force", God, though I can't say I ever heard any atheist talk about this so called "magical force" that atheists tell you "was responsible for creation". Got any evidence of atheists and their "magical force"?

I still do not get why you quoted me to begin with? huh

Did my questions to the op look like commands to you? huh
One may quote you without actually be talking to you since you wouldn't be the only one reading one's response.

Don't recall quoting you though huh

Education is actually the best way to curb population, especially the education of women, as education empowers and removes the need for dependence on men.

Is any Muslim man in the law enforcement agencies fighting against boko haram a fool too, or must he be a Fulani or Hausa or Northerner to be a fool?

We should wonder if Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe swore an oath to protect Nigeria or Ipob!

There's a thread saying women who wear trousers wont make heaven, I didnt see you on that one?
Why should I bother with peoples' opinions about what I should wear? Unlike some, other people do not define what is moral and what is not for me, nor do I treat peoples' opinions as commands. They can come rip my trousers off me if they like, or refuse to let me in heaven if they can.

I wonder why he stayed at home for 10 years after graduating before deciding to learn from those who have made it. Is it because he failed to realise that going to school is to learn how to learn?

Great! But freedom of speech does not confer on him the right to define what is moral and what is not, any more than it confers such right on everyone else.
Yet, someone bothered to ask if op had accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour as if they have the right to define anything for anyone huh

Actually, the confusion here is yours. Under a free-floating currency regime, a country that runs persistent trade deficits should automatically see its currency depreciate until the excess of imports is eliminated; that is the free-market working to naturally correct an imbalance.

The problem with you, Buhari and all the other Nigerian wishful thinkers is that on the one hand you say you want to curb "excessive" importation (where of course you get to choose whose imports are "excessive" based on purely subjective criteria), but on the other hand, the way you act is completely the opposite: you endorse policies which only make sense if the goal is to artificially prop up import-levels, at least for the lucky few with access to subsidized Dollars. If you all meant what you said, you'd want the Naira to be allowed to fall to its true market rate, but just as we've seen with Buhari and his extended UK holidays, or his children going to expensive UK universities, all of you supposedly "patriotic", "buy Nigeria" types are at best incapable of recognizing the hypocrisy of your actions, and at worst outright dishonest, wanting others to desist from "excessive" imports you would never deny yourselves.
I do want the Naira to fall to its true market rate actually, but I recognise first that Nigeria is not and never has been a "free-floating currency regime", and second, I doubt you'd be happy at the hardship you'd face when you have to pay market prices for the rice and petrol and baby milk you import.

Do buy Made in Nigeria please so I employ more Nigerians to make it for you and tax you for purchasing it along with the pay you earn instead of creating employment in UK and increasing their tax base.

There is a Yoruba proverb that says "Bi iwo ba se rere ara ki wo wa yaa o"..
Sounds like something God is written to have said to Cain.

No, not "Democrats need to game up big time", but the electorate that need to "game up". If Trump wins a second term, it serves America right!

Pity though. 4 more years of this thread and I'm moving to Mars!

I will take you serious the moment you call out your hero on his despicable comments. Until then shut the f*** up.

Excuse me, but there seems to be a new compass in town. When 'we' do 'it', it's ok. When you do 'it' though, you are very very wrong!

Anyone currently studying at this uni here come tell us what its like.

If you don't understand something, it's better you ask instead of advertising ur ignorance. If govt gets income as stipulated in the budget at 305 to $1 and spends at 360 to $1 who pays for the shortfall?
Have you asked urself why CBN has been pumping dollars into the forex market or what exactly do you think is the excess dollars being pumped for? CBN spends an average of $200m per week on forex so the actual amount lost on the naira may actually be nite than $2.5bn
You must think CBN is stupid, right, or don't know buy and sell rates always differ. I also guess you don't quite understand the effect on the economy of a rising exchange rate, especially for a nation that imports almost everything?

"CBN spends an average of $200m per week on forex" to keep the exchange rate from rising, and I advise you research why.

Government needs to tax and spend. In order to do that, taxes should be streamlined and be pro-business.. The tax base must also be high
For tax to be high, the tax base needs to grow, which is a stated aim of this budget. Achieving it is another thing entirely.

Niger is a broke ass country.....ABUJA, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Nigeria's Senate on Thursday passed a record 10.59 trillion naira ($34.72 billion) budget for 2020,) $35b dollars for 200m people while uk will spend £134b for health service of 70million people. We don die in Niger

NHS England -134 billion GBP
2019
Total Public Spending
in the United Kingdom
Central Government and Local Authority
-5yr -1yr Fiscal Year 2020
Public Pensions £161 billion
National Health Care + £162 billion
State Education + £92 billion
Defence + £50 billion
Social Security + £126 billion
State Protection + £33 billion
Transport + £35 billion
General Government + £17 billion
Other Public Services + £118 billion
Public Sector Interest + £52 billion
Total Spending = £848 billion
And even this tiny budget of ours is less than what we generate, and we'd have to borrow to fund it! See UK budget and revenue below. We are broke indeed, and can't possibly spend what we do not earn.

Nigerians need to consider this when we vote instead of crying over spilt milk as if martians chose our leaders and not us.

John Bercow's UK has elections next week Thursday, and many are considering voting tactically. But then, that's what you get in a more mature democracy, and we need to stick with ours and let it mature too instead of truncating it with coups like we have always done.

Crazy drivers does slow down traffic considerably, along with ill-planned roads but too many cars add much to it. 11+million cars is far too many, but that is a consequence of inadequate transport.

Imagine an underground train system moving people around, but note the queue for it in Holborn, London, yesterday, just to get to the platform!

Suffice to say that ever since the completion of the Bible, no human being has had the authority to drive demons out of a physical body.
That depends on what you mean by "demons". I know a person currently seeking to have bet9ja demon driven out of him.

missjo:
Being a believer means you have accepted that Jesus is the son of God, that he died on Calvary, and that he is risen. It also means that your faith is hinged on the power of the cross and what Christ did on it.
This belief and faith is what gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work in our lives. In other words, the Holy Ghost (by whose power demons are cast out) only works within the parameters of your belief and faith in Christ.

Thus to answer your question, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a non-believer to cast out demons in the name of a Jesus Christ whom he/she neither believes nor has faith in.
And yet, there is one, "not one of them", casting out demons in Christ name. One should wonder how.

An atheist is someone who does not believe in the existence of God, so pray tell how can an atheist pray in the name of someone who he does not believe exist.

There is no different understanding of whom Christ is!
If you dont believe who Jesus say he is and what he came for in the bible, then you have the wrong christ.
Your limited understanding of 'pray' limits you which is why you cannot conceive that an atheist doctor heals you with prayer. You also don't know that even becoming a doctor involves "accepting Christ", perhaps because you have no understanding of how Christ is the Word, or what it means.

I guess since they don't cry "Lord Lord" like you do they must "perish because of pride", but thankfully, God alone is the judge of all.

A non believer can not cast out a demon but satan can decieve a non christian into thinking he is casting out a demon in the name of Jesus Just to continue his unrighteous works.
But then, I guess I was hasty with you progressing!
