Kingsley Moghalu. Experienced and has a clear vision on how to build Nigeria.

Keenly contested.

Yorubas should just give up on food please. So, this is meant to be vegetable soup now.

Malcolmx12:
Do your research... There is tax in every stick of cigarettes sold in Nigeria...

I used the word stricter. Read well.

We need stricter application of sin taxes like Tobacco tax in Nigeria.

Nigeria is actually the worst performing economy in the world in terms of ability to collect tax revenues. Nigeria's tax to GDP ratio is just 6 percent. South Africa is doing 26 per cent. With a smaller economy and population, South Africa collects about #30 trillion in a year. Their budget is also far bigger and the economy better managed. Stop celebrating mediocrity in public. Nigeria has not even started and it's shameful.

This was exactly what led to the Arab spring but trust docile Nigerians, the status quo will remain.

Arabs

Well researched.

But many more people still remain vulnerable to capture.

Balderdash.

HeyCorleone:
Lol.. As much as I'd blame the man, I believe rape is a two way thing.

Tell me the lady had no idea the man was going to make advances at her and if she wasn't gonna be cool with it, why did she agree to go in the first place. Ladies are smart. They can sense what you want from a mile away. She must have known "okay he'd want sex and I'm not cut out for such so I'm not going". Now he raped her. Going by her chat sef babe doesn't sound like a novice. Guys can smell a prostitute from a mile away.
Baba must have known "okay if I persuade this girl well she go open legs". Even the ladies know. They might tell a guy no, but after much persuasion, they'd open their legs.
And why would she just ask for the restroom in the home of a guy she barely knows or trust? It's just amiss. She should have stood her ground and not left the car at all.
Then again we need to hear the man's side of the story. If you check the first screenshot, you'd notice they had talked something before.
.Besides the story is bugged with inconsistencies.
And the girl is so fvcking calm. What rape victim acts that way? Why would she even want to have a word with her rapist? SMH

Still he wanted sex and she didn't want to give him. He should have just relaxed or asked for a hand or mouthjob instead. He shouldn't have raped her. It's just plain wrong. No means No.

Idiot.

badebillions:
Try eastern cape or KZN

No, can't stay in those places. Just asking.

badebillions:
CT is quite expensive. So what do you expect? You want them to bill prices that would turn the city into a slum like Lagos or agbowo at Ibadan?

Lol, I know. Not an argument. What city has the prices you cited above?

badebillions:
5500 is a bit high.... There are places they pay between 1,800-3000 with blazing WiFi and furnishings... plus water and electricity 24/7... Including gym and recreational facilities... Not forgetting security too

Capetown. Walking distance to UCT. There are places that go for 7-8.5 here.

badebillions:
Bros you don't need all the omo onile wahala to own properties in SA. Just purchase your flat on mortgage..no need to bribe NEPA for power...or waterworks for supply all needed is your paycheck.

In Nigeria your money buys nothing! Healthcare zero!

I get there's complete order. The cost of living is still not comparable. Students pay 5500 rand per month for rent here. That's about 154k per month for renting. But I guess that's the cost of living in an ordered society and it's worth it.

No basis for comparison.

praxisnetworks:
and more organised and affordable

I only disagree with affordable. Only if you're earning good income.

The increase is a result of the depreciation of the naira. If anything, it even reduced since the naira actually depreciated by more than 24%.

Nigeria, a country that believes everything must be resolved through violence alone. But when you confront them with violence like Boko Haram is doing, they become weary.

Semper247:
Ipob miscreants supporting the suppose infidel to spite buhari are no longer around. Elzazakky should have known better when his boys were charging at the army and constituting nuisance to the society.
He should go to court because their sympathizers are now terrorists

What a foolish statement!

Well, the current account balance is not doing as well.

I like this. Hope they deliver on the refinery. I believe if we run this economy properly, it will surpass its potential and unemployment rate will get below its natural level.

Well, the question is why the Minister had an audience with Wale Tinubu and Co, people who were under investigation by SEC for manipulating financial records.? Why did you not give SEC the free hand to sanction Oando as appropriate, instead you were advocating for fines, in a matter you don't have a say in the first place. That said, the SEC DG had to account for his own criminal breaches.

Nothing in recent memory seems to have affected the bank-balances of Nigerian pastors as Daddy Freeze’s exposure of the deception of tithing in churches. Nigerian tithe-collecting pastors are up in arms, throwing every possible missile at him, including death threats. Jesus says: “Whoever desires to save his life will lose it.” (Matthew 16:25). Since Freeze’s exposure, tithe-collecting pastors have been spouting fire and brimstone, hopelessly trying to save their lives.

Death Threats

The assault on Freeze brings to mind the assault of Jewish pastors on Jesus when he also exposed their deception and hypocrisy. The upshot of this was the decision to have Jesus killed with extreme prejudice. Similarly, Daddy Freeze says a pastor, whose church he attended for 11 good tithe-paying years, has placed a death sentence on him for preaching against tithing. The pastor “prophesied” that Freeze would die within two years.

Jesus says: “An evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45). You can easily tell that this so-called pastor is a charlatan masquerading as a child of God. Not only does he curse his enemies contrary to the way of Christ, even his curses are fake. Otherwise, why wait for two years for Freeze to die? Why not kill him right now?

Apostle Suleiman

Perhaps that anonymous pastor learnt a lesson from another endangered tithe-collector: self-styled Apostle Suleiman. The “apostle” exposed himself by foolishly prophesying that Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, would die within two weeks. Unfortunately for him, the governor obstinately refused to die.

“Apostle” Suleiman was so riled up over Daddy Freeze’s preachments against tithing, he announced the decision to raise his tithe from 10 percent to 30 percent in retaliation. Clearly, the “apostle” needs to go back to bible school. So doing, he would learn that a tithe is 10 percent and can never be 30 percent.

Rather than boast publicly about fictitious increases in his tithes, his eminence the “apostle” should endeavour to listen to Jesus: “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1). “When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:3-4).



Paul Adefarasin

On his part, tithe-collecting Paul Adefarasin took the whole debate to stratospheric levels, the better to make tithing unassailable to fastidious bible scholars. He said: “God created the universe, he took a tithe: the Milky Way. God created the Milky Way, he took a tithe: the Galaxy. God created the Galaxy, he took a tithe: our Solar System. God created the Solar System, he took a tithe: Planet Earth. God created the Planet Earth, he took a tithe: Israel. God created Israel, he took a tithe: Jerusalem.”

At this juncture, I began to wonder if it could equally be postulated that God created Lagos, he took a tithe: Adefarasin’s House on the Rock! Who ever heard of God paying tithes? By the time the erudite pastor waxed lyrical and refashioned Jesus as: “a tithe, holding a tithe, going into a tithe,” his congregation could not bear it any longer. They burst into wild applause which I took to mean: “This pastor of ours is just too much!”

Matthew Ashimolowo

But the response to Freeze that took the cake came from Matthew Ashimolowo of Kingsway International Christian Centre. He felt so threatened by Daddy Freeze, he dropped his mask of holiness and became abusive. He told Daddy Freeze to “Shut up!”

Said Ashimolowo “ex cathedra:” “Some bunch of yoyo somewhere should not determine what we believe. Some guy who beats his wife, throws her out, throws his children out of the house should not determine what we believe. Not only that, he broke his own son’s knees while trying to defend his wife. Not only that, he drinks alcohol, sleeps with women and he is trying to preach to preacher?”

But, while we are on the subject, should Ashimolowo himself be telling anybody what to believe? Not according to Jesus.

Jesus says: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:3-5).

Ashimolowo”s hypocrisy is mind-boggling. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Wealth Transfer

Some years back, Ashimolowo advertised a crusade in Port Harcourt, captioned “The Coming Wealth Transfer.” This was based on the spurious pie-in-the-sky notion that God is soon going to transfer the wealth of non-Christians to Christians.

However, officials of the Charity Commission in England, an organisation which routinely polices the affairs of nominally non-profit organisations including churches, detected a more genuine wealth transfer taking place in Ashimolowo’s KICC. That wealth transfer was not from God to the members of Ashimolowo’s church: it was from members of the church to Ashimolowo.

The Commission discovered “serious misconduct and mismanagement” in the finances of KICC. It alleged that hundreds of thousands of pounds were dubiously transferred overseas. A £120,000 birthday party was given for Ashimolowo, out of which £80,000 was used to buy him a spanking Mercedes Benz. It was also reported that Ashimolowo used the church’s visa card to buy a timeshare apartment in Florida.

Should a man with this questionable CV tell Christians what they should believe and give? You be the judge.

The Commission maintained Ashimolowo acted as both trustee and paid employee of KICC, in contravention of British charity law. He allegedly approved suspicious payments and benefits to himself and his wife made to his private companies operated illegally from church premises. As a result of these irregularities, KICC was placed in the hands of receivers, new trustee managers were appointed and Ashimolowo was asked to repay £200,000 to the church.

The upshot of this was that Ashimolowo relocated temporarily to Nigeria, where he started preaching about “Sweat-less Wealth,” and “Twenty-Four Hour Miracles.” The latter required the gullible to give their monies, cars, televisions, stereos, cell-phones and even the Certificates of Occupancy of their houses to preachers in order to receive fictitious financial windfalls from heaven within 24 hours. A few of my acquaintances were scammed at these 419 “crusades.”

Deceived-deceivers

God says: “Among my people are found wicked men; they lie in wait as one who sets snares; they set a trap; they catch men.” (Jeremiah 5:26). Daddy Freeze has put these tithe-collecting fraudsters on the warpath, fighting to defend their bank-balances. Surely, he did not expect them to surrender their meal-tickets without a fight.

Who is afraid of Daddy Freeze? Thief- and robber-pastors. The fear of Daddy Freeze is the beginning of mischief in Nigerian churches.

See his dictatorial language. A government that has not delivered a single project.

Useless budget. Somebody that won't even smell up to 100 billion in 2018 is budgeting N1. 3 trillion.

We should just agree we are a zoo. No other way to explain this.

One of the World's most prestigious scholarships. You can't fail as a Rhodes alumnus. Forget the money, the contact and relationships you will build is enough to make you succeed. Congratulations to the two great scholars.

The only President that talks when he is out of the country. You shouldn't have contested if you didn't appreciate how enormous the challenge is. Probably why you're failing on the job. Well done Sir.

Omo, this man keeps repeating the same line since inauguration whenever he is abroad. He hasn't even learnt anything on the job.

State of thievery and wastefulness.
