my boss, i apologize jare. was my mistake big time. you know this was how we met some of the trusted guys here. same way i did great deals with people i never knew (infact never met before the deal sef!!! and paid fully for more expensive vehicles), Calculusx (the most trusted of them all), Loidee, Hassrash (hassan), Inspired (i actually had 2 clean deals with him). i just felt would be nice also giving new dealers opportunity to show themselves trustworthy. but this is the last time it will happen. i wasnt even happy making the guys pass thru all these wahala, initially i had said they would make a full refund. but i really felt for them, they had really suffered in that 1 week. they didnt see it coming. My Choice now remains Pre Order must be Calculusx, Cotonou (if border will ever be opened again) must be Hassan, although Godpower may have a chance sha!!!!! but for now, ill stick with Pre-order.

as per the song......you really need to feel the heat of SARS and you will discover a talent in you. the guy confessed like the policemen are Priests. then imagine what happened inside the cell where inmates are told (by the chief prisoner) to be clapping for you while you do the rest of the entertainment.....

anyway, not something im proud i did, but they actually made me do it, so i had to, and now they know silence is not stupidity. so my apologies goes out to them. i hope they will become good guys henceforth. mistakes are useful only when you learn from them, lets hope they learnt from this experience.

Godspower is now my friend, infact he is ready to do PAYMENT AFTER DELIVERY only after i have verified and done inspection for any deals i want now.

i still dey smile for this post and response.

And honestly i have not even seen Calculux and Inspired (these i did deals with) one on one till today!

.............................

At this point the parade changed!!!! Godspower now starts addressing me as SIR, then tells me that he will explain what happened. Unknown to him Adewale has already started singing.

So I ordered Adewale to be move to a different police station where he will be given musical instruments for his singing. And then he was moved and he sang some more.

Then I verified from.......................................................

My Oga I hail o!!!

Good Afternoon,

What will it take to clear a 2013 Toyota RAV4. Thanks

Good Afternoon,

Just a quick question. Are you guys also involved in the clearance (as well as repairs) of the bought cars from Auction Export before and/or after they arrive the shores of Nigeria? I have intention of making use of your service for a car purchase.

Thanks

No conclusions drawn until i hear the husband's side of the story.

No 4 cylinder comes with leather seats?

Nice cars and colours though......

Nice One. keep it up. Is there something similar with 4 cylinder?

Nutase:
The Bible never made a direct reference to polygamy except in the case of a bishop/overseer/elder/supervisor/officials in 1 Tim 3:2 depending on the version.
Some people use Genesis 2:24 to justify there monogamous theory which is not completely wrong and is also not completely right. Almost all the fathers of our faith were polygamist and yet God still found them righteous and even called one a man after his own heart.
In Matthew 23:23 Jesus scolded the pharisees for neglecting the weightier matters of the law which includes Judgement, mercy and faith.
In Matt 9:13 KJV Jesus referring to Hosea 6:6 said to the pharisees "But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
In Matt 12:7 KJV Jesus speaking said But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
In Matt 23:15 NIV Jesus speaking said “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."
Having laid the foundation above I want to state that I do not subscribe to polygamy neither do I encourage it. But we need to show compassion like Jesus did.
Some Christians use restitution to justify the man sending away his other wives but do not consider the effect of the absence of a husband and father on the other wives and children. Restitution cannot be applied in every situation, for example how does a woman who had an abortion do restitution?
The God we serve looks at the motive behind the action. The action was carried out in ignorance or based on the beliefs of the religion the fellow was practicing at that point in time and not from an informed position.

Let me conclude by saying that God deals with us according to His plan and purpose for our lives and in some particular issues there is no one size fits all. He can ask Mr A to do a thing which he won't permit Mr B to do.
This is one of such issues and should be done based on hearing personally from God and not because of what one man says. In the scriptures God did not permit David to build a temple for him but he permitted Solomon to do that for him.

Shalom.

Nutase, Make your head no swell too much o as many people dey quote you and say you speak well.

You spoke well actually. I'm even more impressed you are a female, cos the natural instinct for females would be to condemn polygamy out rightly.

Just to shed more light, there is nothing (in my opinion) that is wrong with having more than one wife as long as they are properly married to and the man can take care of both of them and show love equally. However, it is advisable/required for those that intend to serve in the house of the Lord not to marry more than one wife.

As far as the bible has recorded, God has been worked more with those with more than one wife. So if someone is married to two wives and got born again, he should continue to maintain his both wives. No need to chase anyone. However he will not be allowed to serve in the church as Pastor, bishop, etc

chiteny: BUHARI, do you have any comments about this?
buhari: No comments!

I do not want to quote any post but feel quite ashamed at some comments.

If for any reason any representative of the school for which their licences were revoked did not turn up for the meeting, is that a moral justification to with immediate effect withdraw their licences?

Have you bothered to think about the future of the pupils in those schools?

Don't you think if the fees of the schools where very high the parents that cannot pay would simply withdraw their children to more affordable schools? (assuming this is the reason for shutting them down)

If they are charging "illegal fees that overburden the parents", does it warrant shutting down the schools out-rightly without asking first from the school authority why they charge what they charge?

I listened to the radio about this issue as well. Majority of the parents that had their kids in those schools (if not all) called in to register their displeasure. Many (of course who are part of the PTA) supported the current school fees charges, affirming that the standard of the education in the schools where worth the fees paid.

My point is this. Even if the schools representatives deliberately did not attend the meeting, i think there are some steps that should be taken first before withdrawing their licence. Eg. Request for an explanation in writing as to why they did not show up, asking for detailed reasons as to the "illegal fees" the school charge the parents. if you are not contented with the responses you could give them a fixed duration to cancel those fees else their licences will be revoked. If they fail to do all of these, then you can revoke even the C of O of the school and pull down the buildings if you like.

Ok. I will be waiting for your mail.

Alternatively Can what will it take to get a 4 cylinder Diesel Engine Toyota Prado, A / 4WD

Please bro, what will it cost me to get the 2014 (new shape) Toyota Corrola to my door. You could send me a mail if you want

TonyeBarcanista:
I read the proposed bill sponsored by Rep Gyang Dung (PDP-Plateau) and eight others seeking to alter sections 6, 84, 185, 240, 246, 247, 288, 289, 292 and 318 of the principal Act, in order to established an Ecclesiastical court that will abjudicate on issues that bothers on "Christian law".

I shook my head while reading the news because I found it laughable that our legislators will abandon important subjects that bothers on the economy, education, political and environmental sectors, but instead they sat down to discuss an irrelevant bill that is needless, useless and has no single impact on the lives of the average Nigeria citizen.

Do we even need a "Christian court"? For what purpose? Is there any central Christian law in the first instance? Is this a ploy to expedite the passage of the Sharia Court of Appeal bill that is before the House? What exactly is the motive of the promoters and the House? All these questions popped out of my recession-hit head while I was reading the report. These I shall try my best to address in this piece.



1. Do Christians Need Ecclesiastical Court?
If we take a look at the Bible carefully in the book of I Corinthians 6:1-10, Apostle Paul warned believers never to take their brothers to law court(irrespective of nomenclature) to settle religious disputes.The Lord Jesus Christ in his teaching laid out how disputes should be settled among believers of the Christian faith in Matthew 18:15-17, a procedure that is very simple and direct.

According to Christ, if a brother offends another, the offended brother should approach the one that offended him to settle the disputes as brothers (Matthew 18:15), if he refuses to listen, the offended brother should approach leadership of the Church to intervene (Matthew 18:16), and if he refuses to listen to the Church leadership for peaceful resolution, the brother that was offended should let go for God to take control (Matthew 18:17). As simple as that.

In the book of 1 Corinthians 16, Apostle Paul was direct in condemnation of the Corinthian church after he heard that they were suing each other to court. He admonished them to withdraw the cases against brethren that were pending before the court, but instead admonished them to settle among themselves or by involving the elders.

In Christian religion, the Chief Justice is God Almighty, He, through the Holy Spirit directs brethren and elders in handling disputes within the body of Christ. He doesn't give such power to any institution outside the Christian faith, and does not in anyway delegate his power to any secular judicial officer. The so called Ecclesiastical Court is an aberration in Christianity, and is not needed nor wanted in the body of Christ.


2. Is There Any Central Christian Law In The First Instance?
Let us for once consider this question, is there a central Christian law? From all practice, the Christian religion has NO LAW, the Bible however states precepts and commandments that should be obeyed by practicing Christians but they are never considered a law. Unlike precepts and commandments that doesn't prescribe earthly punishment for defaulters, a law prescribe punishment for defaulters.

For instance, the Christian doctrine is against idolatry, but any Christian that engages in the act will not be punished by anybody according to any law. He may be disciplined by his local church in order to restore him to the faith but if he choose to continue, his case will be handed to God while the brethren pray for him to repent.

Besides, even the Christian commandment and precepts has over the years been subjected to different interpretation depending on various assemblies and congregations. Some sect don't believe in the Holy Trinity, while others does; some set see tithing as fraud, some see it as command; to some sect, the Catholics and all those that use images to aid worship are idolaters and not Christians. To some, divorce is a NO, while some others not only see divorce as Biblical but welcomes remarriage. Some believe in Christmas and Easter, while others see it as fraudulent practice of pagans. Need I say more? .

What is central in Christianity is that God will be the judge on the last day, HE will judge all men, Christians and non Christians according to their works, and the Saints will judge the Angels.


3. Status of Christian Association of Nigeria In The Christiandom:
Make no mistake, CAN is not a central body of Christians in Nigeria, neither does it posses a central authority. CAN is only an association of those Christian religious leaders that are part of the association. CAN is not an authority in Christiandom in Nigeria, they are not the Holy Spirit, they CANNOT prescribe any Christian law. In fact, not all churches are part of CAN as an association, not all Christians recognises CAN. To be explicit, Christianity can never be regulated by any government, body, association or group or any person/persons, and should never be. Matters that are Christian in nature must be addressed according to the Christian precept (NOT LAWS), those that are civil in nature could be taken to the civil courts, while those that are criminal in nature be subjected according to the relevant laws in Nigeria.

4. A Ploy To Expedite The Passage Of The Sharia Court Of Appeal Bill?
We may recall that there is a bill before the House of Representative that was sponsored by Honourable Abdulahi Salame representing Gwadabawa/Illela federal constituency, Sokoto State, which seeks to altar Sections 262 and 277 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, in order to increase the jurisdiction of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory and Sharia Court of Appeal of a State by including Criminal Matters and Hudud and Qisas and for "other related Matters”. This pro-sharia bill was condemned by patriotic Nigerians of diverse faith and creed.

With the coming of the proposed Christian court bill, and if passed, it is safe that it would easily be argued by proponent of the Islamic bill that it is also justifiable for the Islamic bill to be passed by the parliament. Is that the original idea behind this so-called Christian court bill?

Without prejudice to any faith, Nigeria as a country should/must have no business with religious laws. We are secular, and should be. Our customary laws is enough to take care of matters relating to customs and traditions, while civil and criminal laws takes care of civil and criminal matters respectively. Religion is voluntary of those that practice it, the so-called Sharia laws that exist at present across states are competing with sections of our constitution, we wouldn't want more complications through Sharia or Ecclesiastical Court of Appeal at the federal level. If this bill was proposed to appease Christians so as to allow easy passge of Rep Abdulahi Salama Sharia bill, then it is dead on arrival. Nigerians must act and resist both confusionist bills.

I condemned the Sharia bill, I still strongly condemn this proposed Ecclesiastical court bill because the bill serves the interest of nobody except those few members of the elite that will be appointed to chair or be part of such court. It should be emphasised that Christianity is not in competition with Islam or any religion, neither is Christianity the opposite of Islam.

I enjoin members of the National Assembly to look at laws that will positively affect the lives of Nigerians irrespective of religious creed, gender, status or tribe instead of wasting taxpayers monies by sitting in their chambers to discuss irrelevant and confusionist bills like the Sharia and Ecclesiastical courts bills. If our "Honourables" are bored, they should go on indefinite recess and spare the citizens of more troubles. Enough is Enough for the Wise.





May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

IN AS MUCH AS I MAY AGREE WITH YOUR POSITION WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SHARIA LAW WAS DEBATED AND PUT IN OUR CONSTITUTION?

NOW THAT IT IS IN OUR CONSTITUTION HAVE YOU EVER SPOKEN FOR OR AGAINST IT?

BE JUST IN YOUR SUBMISSION.

NIGERIA IS HIGHLY DIVIDED ALONG RELIGIOUS LINES AND THIS CAN BE SEEN BYTHE WAY WE MAKE OUR LAWS.

This picture has got Nigerians talking and here's why. During the official visit by the King of Morrocco, Mohammed VI, at the presidential villa last week, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment; Enyinnaya Okechukwu Enelema, was spotted bowing down in reverence to the ruler who appeared not to notice the gesture.

This has got people asking why the minister had to greet the king in this manner and was not even recognized.

He bowed in order to get low enough to lick his A.ss

Congratulations!! on your success story. Between, There are only but a few things, I'd like to inquire of you in private. Your permission to push a mail across?

Grammatical Blunder!! I guess you are thinking "btw" as used here on Nairaland means between. It actually means "by the way".

sammyj:
CBN should just commercialize the oil sector which one of the biggest consumers of the Forex by allowing it to be traded in Naira across the region which also reduce the pressure on the dollars. However, I still beleive there is still more work to be done by this government to strengthen the Naira. May God help CBN succeed on this test ooooo!!!!

Bros, this na good idea. But remember say na the thing Gaddafi try to do before US visit am systematically. Now Libya is not the same.

Very revealing piece. I took my time to read through and i urge all those calling for summary to do same. Be patient and read through.

Now lets watch and see how things play out from Monday. I hope Nigerian economics works with this theory ( i know from the past that what works abroad normally dont work here in Nigeria)

One thing i am noticing is that when ever government want to tell big lies and make moves that will cause more hardship to the common Nigerian, the post here on NL is usually very long.

I guess its in a bid to confuse every one which they have succeeded in doing here on NL.
