Stats aren't pulled out of thin air. There are different methods of uniform sampling taken across diff media before arriving at a near-factual conclusion like this

Lagos is just one of 36states na...that's almost inconsequential

U sit down for Nigeria dey tell people wey sabi as things dey go for multiple places say Dem wrong

Na statistics we go chop?

Did Fubara conduct election before their tenure ended and what was the reason for him not to?
Please if you have a version of what happened let m[color=#006600][/color]e know.

You just claimed to have discussed with the people involved, why ask for another version?

You are Wike's loyalist, possibly the media aide to one of the LG chairmen.
Don't worry, today you are part of the oppressors, tomorrow you will be one of the oppressed!

[b]I don't know why but I have my doubts about the Fubara [/b]guy.. he doesn't look like a serious mind or someone that will do much. Just my own opinion tho.

[color=#006600][/color]

You just don't like him meaning hatred without reason or offense.
I see!

Zubeezanga:
Mr shut up, you missquote our faith and scare people off, how dare tell people path to christaindom? What verses are your backup to this certain sin must be restituted? Thats how you scare people away with your holier than thou atitude, how many people did the harlot who they wanted stoning to death restitute to? The criminal that our lord guranteed a place in heaven at cruxification, how many did he restitute to? We all are sinners and as that no one has the right to play God, we all are struggling

The harlot was caught in the very act! Most people saw her. It was a public disgrace.
Moreover, they wanted to execute her, while some are also guilty of same crime. That means, it is no longer secret. Moreover, Op acknowledged that there are some sins that do not need restitution. He even gave specific examples.Therefore, the harlot case is different.
Personally, I think those that wanted to execute her should have even apologized to her.
This part is my opinion "some persons might have slept with her or wanted her for themselves. It also possible that she rejected some, so an opportunity came for them to take their pound of flesh. Else, where was the man that committed the sin with her "

quip:
restitution is not a commandment, it's not a law.
it's personal thing, don't enforce it on individual.
as I said earlier, if the holy Spirit prompts you to do it, then by all means do it. but it's not a law
wisdom is profitable to direct

[color=#006600][/color]

No one forced it on you!
Someone brought a topic for discussion on this forum, and you requested for scriptural back up, which I did.
Now, you're changing the narrative that it is not a commandment.
Maybe you have to differentiate between a command and non-commandment.
All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and they are profitable for doctrine, reproof, instruction, correction in righteousness.
Restitution is a n evidence of salvation.
In the book of Luke, Jesus made a statement after Zaccheus declaration "today salvation is come to this house"

quip:
two verses answers this:
old things are pass away, all things have become new
go and sin no More.
[/color]
with this scripture, restitution is no longer necessary, except if the holy Spirit prompts you to do so, cause restitution is also biblical.

[color=#006600]

Philemon I :16-18;
Luke 19:8; Acts 3:21

In Philemon 1vs16- 18; Paul's plea for Onesimus, Philemon's servant.
In Luke, Zaccheus stood before Christ his master made restitution. Jesus did not counter him. Neither did Jesus said it is needless.

To show how important it is, in Acts of the apostle, even GOD promised restoration of all things to Israel in fulfillment of His prophecy.

Paul himself apologized to the high priest for using wrong words.

WeirdAlien:
Always back up your assertions with scriptures, and we're talking about new testament in this case.

That region is a no go area. Due to alarming rates of insecurity. Someone dared me to go to Onitsha or any town in the East and he will give me 5 million. I told him to keep his 5 million.

Far from it.. most of those criticizing your wack songs are far away from their homes to make sure things go smoothly for people like Eedris.

It's easy to sit down and criticize.. when faced with the challenge to fix things, what can you do?. Can you think critically or outside the box in extremely difficult situations?.
Talk is cheap.
Some of you can't even manage your small music groups of less than 5 artistes but expect the President of a country with over 230 million people to perform magic overnight with the spate of corruption and decay already in the system.

[color=#006600][/color]

Eeldris knows he can't manage over 200million Nigerians that why he did not contest/seek for the Presidency.

Are you aware that presidency was not forced on Tinubu? He said it was his turn, we gave him the steering but to our amazement, it is a retrogression!

If you want to criticize him, go ahead but there should be NO excuse for Tinubu's failure.

ZIAZI:
Fubara is a joker! Which one be "defence of democracy and the constitution?" Or is CTC for LGs constitutional?
If he wanted to avoid this unnecessary pandemonium, he had sufficient time to conduct a local government election. If he thinks Rivers people are for him, he should have conduct the election and tested his popularity as opposed to Nyesom Wike.
Again, why didn't he just wait will the outcome of today's proceeding before knowing what action(s) to take?
I refuse to be fooled by his political gimmicks.

[color=#006600][/color]


Unfortunately, you have been fooled for you to be this gullible!

[color=#006600][/color]
If it gets horribly wrong, then a Lt Col would be put in charge . Obviously most politicians would not want to do that especially Goodluck Jonathan that needed Northan votes. But Ashiwaju needs to stamp his authority in Rivers. Those are the states he needs in 3027.

But the man calling for emergency is sitted comfortably in a state that is at war!
The Governor is making appointments and swearing in appointees in the same state. Mehn, the constitution doesn't permit such.
Do you think Tinubu that wanted to mobilize ECOWAS army against Niger abi Bokina Faso will follow that part? That will be hypocrisy!

He won't dare!

KnowAll:
There is a constitute Authority in Zamfara and Kaduna even though there is insecurity. With Rivers we don’t know who is in charge.

[color=#006600][/color]

You will learn soon!

Even if state of emergency is declared, Fubara will still remain and act as the Governor of Rivers State. Just that the security chiefs will be reporting directly to the president. Nothing will change.
Remember Adamawa, Borno and Yobe under president Good luck!

Baba wrote a letter but tinubu refused to open the letter, so he decided to pay a visit just to confirm that it was received.

ElSudani:
The fuel subsidy wrecked the economy. Removing it was a bold action needed to redirect the economy towards a more productive one.
The ensuing inflation is the reason why every president before him chickened out from doing it. The economy can only grow from now, stronger and more resilient than before.
He didn't ruin the economy, he rescued it from total collapse.

[color=#006600][/color]

When the said govt can't even pay 100k as minimum wage! So where is the subsidy money going?

Oh, now I remember, it is used in empowering those in government!

lendahand:
you obviously still take milk for breakfast. See, wisdom is profitable to direct and that's the reason why being wise as a serpent is advocated by the Bible. You can return a stolen item in your possession but the OP's case requires sagacity to navigate. Exam is not a true test of knowledge. He has gained admission already and he can go on to prove that he is worthy of his university certificate. Religion is actually the reason op did what he did but we who are the circumcision can't attempt that because Paul, despite all atrocities he committed moved on in Christ and never stood by the roadside begging people he killed their family members to strike him dead. Wisdom made him to move on but zacheaus restituted stolen items which he could easily do. Again wisdom is at play in both cases. He took many courses to pass wassce. Did he buy the certificate? Was he not able to supply some answers himself in the course of the exam? So why throw away the baby and the bathwater? There's no wickedness associated with my line of thought.
Maranatha...

[color=#006600][/color]

Maybe, I do.
Exam malpractice/cheating has nothing to do with wisdom or smartness, rather, it is an indicator of poor preparation, lack of self confidence, fear, greed, corruption or depravity of the mind.
Exam malpractice may take different forms such as copying from friends, using micro- chips or machinery etc, but as a follower of Christ, it is what it is!
Since, you have decided to quote scripture "wisdom is profitable to direct", what about "shall we continue in sin ( deceipt by presenting certificate one cheated and arrogating it to self effort) so that grace ( God's mercy) may abound?
The Bible's reply is "GOD FORBID".
Well, I don't know if the person involve can stand through because the society is so corrupt that we celebrate evil and condemn morals.

I never expect CHRISTIANS to insult him.

If we want a better society, we must encourage such act, better still remain silent.

BalogunIdowu:
To dey bargain no be my own problem self but where to start with at times...

Some sellers are extremely wicked with how adey put price on their goods.

Imagine calling something for 3k and wanting to eventually buy it for 1k, it's so nonsensical cos you know the price was raised high.

Make I teach small skill to bargain.
If you get to the market, maybe, you are about buying one lap of chicken and nd the price seems exorbitant, jokely tell the seller that " no be full chicken I come buy na only the leg oo" s/he might put the blame on the government. Discussion start from there, ask him/her " amuch last or I fit price am?"
Then slash the price down by 30-40% down.
If you are buying wears slash it half or more. A serious trader will reduce or tell you plainly without offense.

Even if s/he get offended, move to others around.

Low self esteem dey worry the op. Else, why are you afraid to speak your mind or negotiate?
You even said, you use to send someone if it involves bargain.
Nigerians nva rip you off your hard earned money.

benn94:
He will regret his decision soon. What happened to " God is a merciful God"? If he prayed to God for forgiveness, he would have been forgiven.

I pray he shouldn't regret his decision.

God forgives, that is true, but after forgiveness, you continue in deceipt. That is not Christ- like.

Let me explain: the young man cheated in exams, implying that he wrote the exam on his own without help (WAEC found him worthy in learning), offered him the result.
He deceived all those around him, the school, waec.
After So-CALLED repentance, he continued in deceipt.
Well, alot of persons are involved, so many might not agree with him.

And the light expose(shines in) darkness...

I think all those preaching brain drain should support him e.g shettima, tinubu and other elites.

lendahand:
He is wrong. If a man be in Christ, old things has passed away and all things have become new. He should have gone ahead to prove himself by his consistent good grades as a new creature instead of crashing out willingly. Well he's a newbie and when he grows up he discover how wrong he was.
Meanwhile, no Jesus Christ, no life, no joy.

[color=#006600][/color]

The Bible didn't not say "if any man be in Christ stolen item or properties now belongs to you"

Practice it the way you understand it, but don't use the scriptures to justify evil.

I'm not surprised that wickedness and corruption increases daily with increase in religious centers here in Nigeria.

IDF would not allow this in Israel.

If she refused to visit how did she intend to get the money?

Honestey:
"The labour leadership specifically noted that no governor was present at the meeting, just as ministers were absent except the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, who doubles as a conciliator."

Oookey! No transportation tip from Tinubu. Na now I understand why they want to go on strike.

[color=#006600][/color]

Must you always think this way?
The man is saying "their absence indicates the Governors might not implement any decision taken/agreement reached."
Are you aware that some governors are yet to pay the #30,000? To me, labour is right, the government is unserious. Government proposal is not just disdain, inhumane.
If they can revert to the old national anthem in a giffi, remove subsidy and increase electricity tarrif, but reluctant to pay Nigerian workers living wage, then it is PURE WICKEDNESS.

Lawmakers wey no sabi constitution go gamble with their seats😂

Wike know too well that among all his political godson(s), Fubara is the smartest compared to the rest.
Though he wasn't expecting the fight to start this early (with his over- attitude).

Take a good look at the decisions taken so far, Fubara is articulate, calm and co-ordinated than rest. He appear weak and naive but has tackled LGA chairpersons, about 25 house of Assembly members and commissioners loyal to Wike within short period of time.
I'm not aware of any godson's bravery (at first, I mistakenly took his articulate/calmness as weakness or foolishness but I think, I'm wrong).
Wike' men miscalculated (big political blunder).

I think Op is making a point.

It should have been
"if they fail to help the poor".

Come to think of it, in the early church, there was breaking of bread from house to house, but right now preachers live in luxuries while members in penury.
