The state government is really doing her best to position the state.

This is great o. If all state will do this with a suitable crop in just 1 or 2 LGAs, in no time allocation from Abuja will be meagre compared to the state IGRs.

This is what Aregbesola and co should have done instead of borrowing heavily to build questionable infrastructures.

Police can be everywhere if thieves and bandits can.

OK.

If the church knows and accepts it is one thing. Not knowing is another thing.

Hmmmm....

IMAliyu:
The subject of does God/gods exist or not has been a long discussed topic between atheists and theists and a conclusive satisfactory answer has never been reached, cause there doesn't seem to be direct provable evidence of the existence of a deity, but then again the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. The discussion is a dead end that leaves someone agnostic on the subject and there are multiple different threads for that, so let's look at a different topic.
Here we assume a deity(s) exists and one out of the hundreds of different religions is indeed valid(like how Islam and Christianity claim to be), so how should one expect to go about determining the validity of a faith through empirical evidence?

When people of opposing faiths debate, they tend to always be biased to their own and to talk over each other. The holy books being the usual the ground work for one's position and his evidence, are highly subjective depending on the person looking at it and because of that a conclusion is never reachable.
So how about we bring the discussion into the objective and measurable realm.

"I was looking at the economic theories of capitalism, 'democratic socialism' and socialism/communism.
And how different places that applied these theories or mix of the theories into practice had different outcomes and successes and failures and through that, one could make an argument that some of these are undeniably better than others and hence would be considered more valid than the others.
(This was strictly the failures and successes of the economic theories and not government systems of the countries in question though they may be related.)
So, would it be wrong to look at religion through a similar lens and judge it by some metric.
In the case of the economic theories the measurements are:
GDP.
Investments.
Level of infrastructure.
Number of people living in abject poverty.
Industrialization.
Technological innovation.
Equality of opportunity.
Scarcity of food.
etc. From this we could reach a conclusive answer"

So by what metric(s) should one measure the validity of a religion? (I would add secularism in the comparisons despite not being a faith)

Should it be:
The number of adherents of that faith.
The level of devotion of the believers.
The logical coherency to the doctrine.

Rate of convertions.
Size of conquests.
Intellectual and technological successes.
Egalitarianism.
Pacifism.
The outcome when laws of the faith are applied into government.
Age of the faith.
Pathological behavior caused by the faith.
Scientific accuracy of the faith.
Content and happiness of the believers.
Moral character of the followers.
etc.
What measure should be appropriately added or removed?
If a God exists and is indeed good and loves good (as claimed by most faiths) and sent down a religion, one would expect that faith to have the most positive outcome on the people and society that follow it above all else. Wouldn't that be a logical conclusion?
"Even if a person can not see a flame in front of him he should be able to feel it's heat"
Discuss.

The bold is a strong option if not the strongest.

This is a govt that know where religion ends and where reality starts from.

They turned away from God to serve and depend on gods of the land.

alexola20:
$29 billion?
Is this a typographical error?

Nigeria loses $500 Billion if not more annually due to power failure.

And how much is your whole economy that $500 Bn is leaking from?

Can a 20 litre keg leak 500 litres of water without being refilled?

Let's get into deeper thinking...

Nigeria has run aground and there is no recovery, the only way this country can survive is a peg on birthrate, so its available infrastructure/resources can keep holding while it becomes excess overtime, which would propel employment and eradicate poverty. (eg, china one child policy that lasted 35 years 1980 - 2015, the period of Chinese boom)

We assume Nigeria was better in the past, it was not better, the resources and infrastructure could only sustain the then population alongside corruption and still have leftovers.. with comfort comes population.. that is why developed worlds dont joke with taxes, the richer you get, the higher you pay, so you never get comfortable to excess breed. But here, we barely have taxes and religious doctrines on birth control overshadows logic and common sense.

We bred much more than the resources and infrastructure could carry alongside our world renowned corruption.. now we are in a mess, because we barely have the resources and infrastructure we use to have when we were even assumed comfortable, but left with an unguarded massive population of a developed world.. (case study: how come Nigerians felt better on all ramifications during Obasanjo's admin despite oil sold at $21, Abacha's at $10 etc)

Am not a doomsayer, but The only and fastest way forward for Nigeria, is to go backwards. If we continue this way, we would only end up with a very terrible unabating civil conflict (insecurity, banditry, kidnapping, scammers, grandscale corruption and eventually maybe internal war from casting blames) when the centre can no longer hold because everyone would be scrambling for anything and everything.. (it's unfortunate this is already happening).

I disagree with you.
Population can be a blessing or a curse. Ours turns out a curse or at least looks like a curse because virtually everyone ( or majority ) is focused on what they can get from govt and the system and not what they can contribute.
If our population was productive and contribute only #20,000 of value monthly, that will amount to #4 Trillion monthly and #48 Trillion annually. The current set up encourages people to be lazy, unproductive and therefore wait on govt to sell natural resources and pay them #20,000 monthly instead of them contributing.

People don't know the essence of govt again and when they see or hear govt, their minds magically assume it is an entity created to feed them instead one they are suppose to fund and hold accountable.

That money can do a lot o.
A thousand million is one billion and therefore 32,000 millions is what he diverted.

That can empower a lot of people and they gave him a meagre six years sentence.

God who authored marriage says let wives be submissive to husband's but ladies out there want to love their husband in return out of whatever the devil has blinded them with. No more obedience to the instructions of the creator of marriage.

Frauds have levels and as rightly said here OTPs are strong form of authentication that can grant full privileges to fraudsters. Once they break/overcome that barrier, they have access to the account

Hmmmm... its no longer 5G masts again.

Shameful truther

Moronîc poster. Registered few hour ago and already know how to do all these...

Fact that he had to go to another state speaks of his record in health sector of the state he ruled.

Any evidence to support your claim? This is how people lose court cases

Shameless! So absense of evidence mean what? You goofed about the club ighalo played for and are still talking further like drunken squirrel.

famulan:
Alaye, go jor

See am.

famulan:
You were the one asking a stupid question, not me.

Remind me of that question. Meanwhile you edited your post to remove the blunder about Ighalo being a city or Burnley player.

Is Ikpeazu among those discharged?

famulan:
Are you okay bro?

Ok-metre, who commission you to be asking stupid question ?

famulan:

Man city or united?
The city isn't united - Manchester.

It has now come to tribes having to identify with victims or voices aren't heard. Don't blame them. Villages are being wiped out and so tribes have to speak out as a group or else...
