In a world we live in where churches have become businesses, how can you tell your pastor is not fake?

Please understand that until you explain the differences between miracles and magic, it is not a criterion.



How can you tell?

Please keep the teachings of Jesus in mind before defending.


Thank you.

trilacos:
na itk kill am.you are not at the front,and you dey run mouth.as long as the person at the front did not talk,wetin con consign you.

I disagree. Things should be done orderly. Whether he was at the back or front, he came before him!

franchasng:
Good. You believe in Biafra

No.

I'm apolitical.

Almost everyone lies about their age is a formal setting.


I thought you meant in relationships.

Polynek:
I cried like a baby on the 14th day of April 2018, when my Dad was buried. The speed of the tears increased when I saw my Mom cry for the very 1st time in my Life, I couldn't hold myself, all my classmates rush and hold me. It was a moment of sorrow. I Miss you Dad.

Don't make me cry please.

franchasng:

MansoryMX:

I was slapped in 2015. It was in Auchi during my NYSC days..I went to back to withdraw, I joined the ATM Queue, one guy just came from behind to withdraw, I questioned him why he's jumping the queue, next thing I heard is a slap on my head, his colleague came from behind too to give me a slap. I was embarrassed that day..Both of them weren't on uniform..It is well

Not on uniform? Walahi we die there.

Those crazy roadside cyclists wanting life action movie.

Casham:
I dey on top bicycle. The two airforce guys dey come from behind on top one underbone(rubber-rubber). The one on the passenger sit raised his hand to slap my head. Luckily for me, the sound of their bike made me turn at the very instant. O boy, I dodge the slap but I almost fell of my cycle. Na so I use vex start dey insult them o. One useless keke man go tell them say I dey insult them(dem been stop for one junction few meters away). As I see them dey try turn come back, omo come see James Bond wey me and them do that day. Thank God say my bicycle get speed and Kd town na my area.
Another experience was when I dey escort my bestie then from my house to her place and KD city dey under curfew then. She told me one of the soldiers wey do checkpoint for the junction to their street dey try toast her so dem no go touch her. Me wan form tough guy, So I follow the geh. O boy as I see the soldiers, my liver fail o. Na the next day this babe come tell me say I get luck o. The soldiers been dey wait mek I come.

Just like that with no proofs?

OjukuwuHusband:
Mine was last year during the lockdown, I really needed to travel from ibadan to Ife for important business...carried my coconut head on the road, got stopped at ife-ibadan express around ikire....the idiots told me to park, asked if I was a medical doctor, govt official or health worker, obviously no, man was about to go rampage on my face when I told him who I was going to meet in Ife, just like that my fresh face was saved from damage. In nigeria, who you know matters alot.

planetx:
Many years ago when I was still a teenager I was going home one late night in a government estate meant for civil servants in Akure. An army captain was also living in one of the houses, so I walked past his house only for the two recruits doing mai guard in front of the house accosted me and said why am walking in front of a military zone in an estate meant for civil servants. One was very belligerent but the other one was pleading to him to calm down he kept waving his rifle talking angrily but the other one kept pleading to him. I was so scared because I was probably like 12 or 13 years old then. This went on for like 10 minutes until the one pleading to him told me to walk away.

For a minor? This is so unprofessional.

MansoryMX:
I have never had a wrong day with Army personnels. You have know the military way of greeting them. By doing just that you have neutralize all threat from them and they will thread carefully with you being a civilian who knows the military code. Just that alone gives you impunity from them first. Some will ask who are you, tell them your name and that your brother is in Borno State serving. End of story!

And when they ask you what DIV?

You go begin bite mouth baa?

You must be to the state to lie with it.

Nobody intervened, so bad. Sorry for your loss sir.

babajeje123:
During one of the fuel shortages, I was begging one to allow me enter into a filling station to buy with a keg into my car that already stopped on the way. I needed to go and check my baby who was on admission in a hospital. I had earlier on went home to get hot water and some other stuff for her and my wife. He refused and I was persistent in begging him. Before I knew it, he gave me a slap that made me turned in 360 degrees. Because I was under intense pressure of all I was passing through, I returned the slap and a fight broke out at the filling station. With the help of his unfortunate colleague, they dragged me to the back of the filling station and beat a hell out of me. To my surprise, none of the on-lookers came to my rescue. When I was dying, I started speaking and begging them in Hausa language before they allowed me. They made me do frog jumps from where we were to the exit of the station and as I was going, they both were kicking me with their boots. It was a humiliating and an unforgettable experience for me as eventually lost my daughter. Since then, my hatred for Nigeria army increased and God forbid that I will have a thing to do with any of them. Thank God I'm not even in Nigeria again so nothing will make our paths cross

franchasng:
My little observation about Nigeria is; the poor and average Nigerians suffer most of the ills of the Nigerian society.


I joined the endsars protest from afar though, not because I have been a victim but because I have heard horrific stories of their victims. Same applies to military guys.


My little advice to Nigerians, especially the poor and the average; if you know you are not rich as in you have some free millions to waste at any point in time the need arises, and you don't have a military or top Police backup, please don't argue or quarrel with any uniformed person in Nigeria because you will either get killed, brutalized, injured and jailed even if you are innocent.


Whenever I am in Lagos, where I reside, the Police Officers there will even free any car they had stopped on a stop and search activity on sighting my car approach, not because I am a uniformed person per se but because they know that some none uniformed persons have power and influence more than their highest ranking bosses at the barracks or station.


And if I happen to land my village, hehe, na shooting in the air oh even without asking them lol.


Whoever said Nigeria is not sweet for some people no know how far, but last last, it is bad, I don't fancy it cos this is not the ideal country we desire for our kids, and that's why we have resolved to change the status quo at all cost. Nigeria have murdered many innocent people. Things cannot continue the way it is. It must change or Nigeria must end!

Link me up.

Ha.

Abi is it the beating that changed the way you type?

anyamashima:
I was btutalized in front of our family house long ago when this osisikannwu matter dey reign for Aba.i was still somehow younger then helping my aunt sale recharge card at her small shop just infant of the house .when some soldiers in white hilux dose hilux that are usually used as escort where passing our street.when i looked at the hilux and i noticed my eye and one man eye just met at same angle and i was still looking while he was looking at me too and the vehicle was still moving .when they moved away from me to see them i do not know that they stopped the card and was running toward me.i was so terrified.i was pinned down the only thing i wanted to do that moment is to vanish or enter the ground .finally they are close to me one of them start beating me the other flogging me with koboko.i was not feeling any pain all i was thinking about is God have mercy on me for them to leave me alone .i was begging and shouting but not for the pain. The whole street was full with aba na anya people .they were saying i am a criminal i am a member of that osisikankwu.i was begging that i am not my aunt even came and was begging but they were still flogging me the koboko,one of them answered a call and then tell the others to take to the hilux at that point i told myself that i am finished .they were dragging me and i resist and begging .my aunty was on the ground holding my legs too so that they will not take me .when they saw that my aunty was seriously in pain they told me to remove my short nika. And it was military type like those design but color was blue. My dad then sale okirika so it is from there he gave me the short they took the short away and left .after everything calmed they passed my street again same day evening and they called me to the hilux while i stood one of them was holding my short in his hand .he then gave it back to me and asked me not to wear it again that i should keep my report card safe that i should not be carrying it around.that day we just closed school and i went to bring back my report card that's why it was in my pocket and they drove off .my aunt took the short from me and burnt it .since that day if i see soldier i never allow us to have same eye angles and i also do give advise to people wearing soldier uniform telling them my story that if they are not soldier it is not good or safe to wear them was my experience interesting ?

DemonInvoker:
I have had many Bitter encounters with Soldiers but na this one Shock me Pass...Like 4yrs ago in Port Harcourt...I took a Cab Going to Choba from Eliozu Bridge and I totally forgot about the Soldiers we normally had at Rumuokoro(Bori camp back gate)before the roundabout...I totally,Forgot I had a Military Combat Short and Cap on...Na My Cousin own sef,I just borrowed them and didn't return them back.
I was alone in the backseat of the cab,I was just busy with my phones not paying attention to what the Driver was doing...Not knowing to cut the Hold up before the Rumuokoro roundabout the driver took one-way...And was on High Speed,Mind you I was still concentrating on my phone when the taxi stopped and I heard the driver telling some people"I carry Officer ohh,Na Officer dey Back"at that point I looked up and saw two soldiers looking at me closely me from the window...I really, Didn't know what else to do but to Bone and look at them in the eyes...They stared and told the Driver to go....That was when I looked at himself saw I was still wearing the camo shorts and Cap I normally wear at home...I immediately,Slap the driver for head,the man shout"Oga,Wetin?!" I say me and you talk before I tell you say I be Officer?!E say no but Oga you look like Officer with Wetin you dey wear...I tell am to shout up,say na God Save am say those soldiers no just reason us...Say next time communicate and Ask before you jump into Bloody conclusions.

Leetika:
Mine was when I was caught with hard drugs weed in a toilet club...the soldier insisted on taking me to the barracks.. I am like sir I have been trying to flush it in the toilet but it keep appearing in my pocket magically. He says I should do it let him see.. I flushed it down the toilet, he then say I should show him the weed, I said what weed?

Too much Mark Angel Comedy.

In real life, he'll beat you to coma to reproduce it.

If you've lived in the barracks or joined the military before, you'll know senior officers don't regard recruits.

Mehn, this experience getting me red.

Coldie:
A Nigerian soldier off duty early in the morning in port Harcourt rumuokoro round about, once beat and told a man, not just man a matured man to enter into gutter just because they were dragging one area they sell bread and the man trying to survive stepped foot on him.

The man didn't hit him back but was saying I no do you anything o, hit me hit me na u get your power, the soldier just kept torturing the man.

And nobody could do anything than be saying sorry oga no vex, leave am.

That day I felt sooo pissed and annoyed.

Things like dz happen everyday

Google map; their only advantage.

johnkey:
During my broke days in FUTA. after begging my roommate(departmental mate from rich home) that I will raise my part of the house rent before the middle of the new session as my parents promised, came back to school met room padlocked. landlady say my roommate has paid full rent and asked for the room to be locked, called him to beg but dude said it is what it is. had to sleep outside and traveled back to Lagos next morning. I didn't cry cause of what he did but for the sacrifice I made on the room when we first rented it then,tho he provided some money after splitting rent but I was the 'machine' that did all the running around and setting up things. That was the day I dropped out and enter street fully. Thanking God for better days now. I'm sure dude will get to read this and just to let you know I live in my own house now.

Exmilitant:
2007, the governor then, sir celestine omehia declared dusk to dawn curfew, and invited strange soldiers from god knows where.

Dem come carry put inside their van come give me one kind drug like that come drive me reach house.

This is the height of it.

They were still compassionate. Others will chase you out of there when they've realised you may have internal bleeding, or more near-death injuries.

NiRfreak:
Nigerian masses are very stupid... believe me..
.
1. They believe in going to heaven to get their justice and retribution.... Islam and Christians alike....just like many of the animals were convinceed of Sugarcandy mountain.

2. They are stupid to see APC and PDP is same, come 2023, majority will still vote for the perpetuation of APC or PDP.....
.
3...They are so stupid to see the cunningness and trap of their constitution, just like the animals couldn't see in their commandment that was used to fool them.....
.
4...They are so stupid they quickly forget past memories of oppression and evil doing of their leaders, they will still praise same leader and reelect them...
the majority of Nigerians are foolish including many educated ones even on Nairaland here

Well, I see your point.


Abeg, make I drink my garri.

The rich keep getting rich. The poor keep getting amused.
