milehigh06: why are people who basically do not know how a country runs so quick to tell you what they think is right or wrong..If in your deluded head you think the US govt can stop personal business men from doing business with Nigeria,then you really need your head checked..in our haste to bash the west,we simply refuse to look deeper into the 9.3million sham being carried out by your corrupt govt...If USA is ot willing to sell to Nigeria,why must Nieria now go to the black Market when they can go to Russia and China like they claim to be doing now?have you deluded conspiracy theorists thought that up?

The Nigerian govt claims they had to go to the illegal market to buy arms forgetting that a nation like Russia,China,Japan and bunch of eastern Nations will be willing to sell to Nigeria because 1. they need the money and most importantly 2,they are willing to rub the nose of USA in it


when you lot take some time out to actually think,then you will see how you and your type is being used as a rag doll in this experiment called "Loot Nigeria till she bleeds to death "

declaro: I'm sure this will be arms for Boko Haram. They are out to buy more hardware but God has arrested them.

barcanista: What is wrong with it? Be objective

barcanista: Only a non-Visionary will not encourage this move

borie4u: [quote author=Complexalfa]This is what the federal government of Nigeria should have done for long, but it is still time as we are battling the virus as well we will also help them because , we are Africans, we are one, help your friend or your neighbour who is in need cos a friend In need is a friend indeed.

One Love For Africans.

Emmalot121: I agree with you that Jesus was not made but verse two says: He was in the beginning with God i.e He is not God and he himself called Himself the Son of God and not God. He was humble enough to come through a mortal Mary (his earthly mother) even as nothing including Mary was made without Him.Jesus can eaisily see himself as God and rebel against him just as lucifer rebelled and took a lot of Angels with him,but he remains loyal to him.

CzarChris: So your interpretation of the woman in Rev. 12 is that its Mary abi? SMH, youngman, the woman described there is the church and the devil there signifies the devil persecuting the church. Truly ignorance is bliss.
Read man READ!!!

Emmalot121: After your write up,you wrote 'enough said.'
Do you belief the first creature created by God is Jesus christ?Do you belief Jesus knew Mary even before she was formed in her mother?Do you belief nobody is holy enough to give birth to the son of most high God?Do you in the spirit belief Christ is the father of all,including Mary?Do you in the spirit belief Mary is the child of Jesus.Do you belief God is the only perent of Jesus and Mary and Joseph were used in fulfilling the scriptures.Do you belief Mary would be like every other man in heaven with no special treatment just like a sinless and Godly man like John the Baptist would be the least man in Heaven,then my beautiful sister,we are on the same page.'

DeepSight: It is refreshing to read the OP because it is frankly nauseating to see the way atheistic fanatics these days make it appear than every one who believe in God or has a religion is an ediot.

The fact is that the vast majority of all learning in history has been propounded by religious people.

grat1aeo: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Emmalot121: I have asked this question and I will ask it again do the catholic belief Jesus is the child of Mary or Mary is the child of Jesus,if its the former,then its too bad.I also belief Mary is not as holy as to give birth to the one as Holy as the son of God,I would only tag her as the luckiest of women.

Emmalot121: Catholics worship Mary To them,Mary is the mother of Jesus,but we Christians belief Mary is actually the child of Jesus who was given the opportunity of giving birth to her Lord,Christ(the son of God who by the power of God controls everything on earth and in heaven including "Virgin Mary."

Ayatullah: I KNOW THE THIEF
This Spokesperson of DSS will never be serious in her professional life. The Nun uniform the way it is designed has no place to hide explosive so it will be useless for those Ogar has in mind. The Nun uniform I strongly believe must have been stolen by someone who knows the Naira value. Please someone should tell Ogar to be serious.

nagoma: This Marilyn Ogar is just a noise maker , empty vessel PDP mouthpiece. Why is she not naming the sponsors of Boko Haram and why is she not announcing their arrest? Only interested in alarm and heating up the polity Generating more heat when what we need is obviously Light.

keeeem: I think Ribadu is missing it. Whoever advised him to go to PDP is not doing him any good. Must everybody belong to PDP or APC? Why is it difficult for people to carve an identity for themselves and use their goodwill to float a new party with new ideas and ways of doing things. With this move to PDP it has shown Ribadu to be a desperado. I expected much from him than this line of reasoning. With this one now, I am more than convinced that Politicians in Nigeria are the same including the Ribadu we think is a clean man. I am pained that another person I view highly has messed up again. First it was Abati now Ribadu. These guys are poverticians (driven by poverty and not the need to serve). shiooor

Ishilove: We've been so badly beaten that we don't evem notice it anymore. That's rather depressing.

LarrySun: I'm not surprised; since our verbal communication has often remained badly ambiguous; we blame the government for everything evil. No one is ready to take responsibility for the defects of the society; instead, we make asinine (even evil) jokes to mask our discomfort. The first sign of headache can be a neckache. We may suddenly wake up one morning to find out that these unserious fiends are candidates for straitjackets who'd escaped the confinements of their mental asylums.

The theory that the crippled government is the cause of the imbroglio circulating all around the federation is, I feel, a somewhat too complacent half-truth; we are the architects of our own mishaps. The civilians allowed themselves to be held by the ears like rabbits and tossed into the thorns by imbeciles of higher echelons whose acidulated mien and balderdashing decadents has made them dizzy with their own intellectual altitude, all just for the paltry sum of thirty pieces of silver. I fear for the growing generations; for when even giants are toppled, what hope is there for the midgets?

We should rise up, take the bull by the flank and make our stands against these revolting oppressors among ourselves; the state of the nation has gone beyond the days of 'twinkle, twinkle little stars'...cracking jokes about our own misfortunes is a perfect show of 'suffering and smiling'.

VivyGift: Sometimes it annoys me when I see some serious issues taken as a joke, instead of us to put our heads together probably to fight against it or find a solution to it.

Ladystewie: ok
you've made your point

Tallesty1: I know but @least we should know where to draw the line. We are fun-loving-people, YES. It helps reduce tension.YES. But can it give us what we want? NO, is it really helping us? NO!. Our leaders are aware of our unseriousness and that is why they are looting us with pride. One terrible thing about us is this mentality of "If I Didn't Happen To You or Your Relative Then It Really Doesn't Concern You". It is very bad. We are not serious people and we prefer to spend time sending retweets of hashtags instead of taking real action. There was a time you cannot see a comment here without the #bringbackourgirls hashtagg. But now what happened? The girls have been forgoten. To blow hot air; shout and make noise is where we are perfect.We have remained silent for so long and failed to make our government accountable for so long and it is not and will never help us.

all4naija: USA might not be a saint but Russia is not either. I would prefer the almighty US to any other to be supper power any time of any day

xp17: bros, if you know how many humans and animals died during the world war 1 and world war 2 respectively, you would have gone in your quit to pray that God should not allow this happen in your generation.



America is very civilized, we believe in diplomacy, not like Russia. we've been at the centre to resolve the crisis in the middle east as a guardian of freedom to the people and the American way of life.

Russia is a small country and too small to be
ended by the US in 24hrs. the numbers of the US
army+marine+air force+ navy is more than the
size of the Russian population

America is the only country in the world that has fought 2 war simultaneously and still conquered.
note: the US army creed never accepts defeat and never quit.

God is good, that was why he made Obama for this time. if it were Bush's administration, the US would had since invaded Russia , take over her oil and leave Putin on the run to take asylum from one of the G6 countries. thank God Obama believes in peace talk to war.


as dumb a'ss as putin, he gave a sanction that his people would suffer most, more than the sanctioned . seriously putin would be better off in the rehab .

war is ugly, so as Russia
peace is beautiful , just like America.

I'm talking about the 21st century and super world power, and some folks are talking back to the 19th century and past glory.

for those quoting me,
I repeat, Russia is a small country, even fewer than Nigeria. isolated landmass doesn't count , this ain't geography, this is real life

Ucheosefoh: Countries don't show strength by flying beside another country's airspace fly through it and watch their reaction, Russia knows that including America. It is like walking beside your enemy's compound and expect him to react, pass through his compound and see his reaction

tsolz84: In Southern Igbo areas e.g Abia, Imo and Upland Rivers state including Bonny and Opobo, Oyibo is hardly used for Europeans.Bekee or Nwabeeke, onye ocha or Ndiocha is used instead of Oyibo.The Igbo groups that uses Oyibo are Western and northern Igbos.The souther Igbo people were the first to encounter the Europeans and they did not call them Oyibos but Ndi ocha...Oyinbo literal meaning is pealed back honey/ Peeled skinned people which is the termed by yorubas to address light skin foreigner..This word Oyinbo is not only used in Nigeria but also by Crelos people in Serri leano and according to them, they got it from the yoruba word..Oyibo is an Igbo way of saying Oyinbo which was originally never an Igbo word. Lets get our facts right here.It iss just like saying the word "na" is orginally hausa or so,we all know that "na" is a corrupt version of "nna" thus of Igbo origin..@OP;pls get ur fact right b4 posting

Goshen360: @ oluwamitomisin,

1. The questioning of this statement are:

a - If Christ actually came to fulfill the law, why do we still need to keep it?

b - How do we actually understand what is said? that is, what is meant by "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets" vs "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil" because, this statement seem like a contradiction to some practices Jesus violated certain laws of Moses. However, we can also question or get answers to why violations to those certain laws is no sin by Christ because there's no law stating any regulations concerning those areas. E.g: The law said people like the woman caught in adultery should be stoned to death. The law only made provision to those who're caught in adultery but didn't say nothing about anyone who forgives one caught in adultery. Therefore, he didn't allowed the woman to be stoned, violating that law of who's caught in adultery but the law concerning whoever let go who's caught in adultery, there's nothing said on that so we can't press charges on where a law is absent.

2. The investigation leading to understanding on what was said in context is:

a - The bible is not first written in KJV but originally in Hebrew and Greek
b - We should investigate the words used and their meanings vs what is said.
c. Misunderstanding comes from reading into text rather than seeking meanings in context to get understand plus the questioning.
d - I always use the Greek and Hebrew word meanings and key them back into the context, plus the questionings and reasoning with the Holy Spirit to learn the truth.

So, let's see how we can put all these together.

WIZGUY69: Y

jerryjere: Why you people in support of Putin the war in syria is been veto by Russia that is why there is no peace in Syria now he want to destabilize Ukraine economy so that it will a state of ungovernable now 298 innocent people lost there live and you people kicked against the sanctioned you who in support Putin are enemies of the world

lalasticlala: I used to kick against Pastors moving about with bodyguards. I was like, what do they need bodyguards for, did Jesus move about with bodyguards?
But I seem to have a rethink now.
First, there are instances where pastors were reportedly killed abroad while preaching in the pulpit.
Then just few weeks ago, it was reported that a Nigerian Redeem Pastor was killed in the North by the dreaded insurgent group operating in those regions and his family abducted.
Although I doubt if the bodyguards could have withstood the attack had it been the pastor had bodyguards.
The security situation in the country has made the need for bodyguards by Nigerian pastors a desideratum and a sine qua non.

Then about my earlier thought about Jesus Christ not moving with bodyguards doing his time, I saw one comment sometime ago that seemed to buttress the fact that he did have bodyguards.

I think his disciples were his bodyguards.
They moved along with him wherever he went to.

Recall the time some children were trying to come to him and the disciples tried to prevent them but he told them to allow them.

In another instance, at the eve of Jesus' crucifixion, during his arrest, Peter used knife (arms) to cut off the ear of one of those that had come to arrest his master (oga) in an attempt to protect him.

So Nigerian pastors should have bodyguards if they wish but shouldn't use them to intimidate others.

Correct me where necessary.
