I was about cc'ing you to speak my mind.

Felt like I was listening to an audio being fast-forwarded.

He did not DEFEND them.....are you this bereft of simple logic.


He was talking about addictions to things outside of God and he's talking about Christians.

You people are just looking for sensational news

kokoA:
Talking about experience, I believe their are Nigerians working in refineries or related sectors abroad that will be willing to come back home to work for him to. 11k is too much in my opinion.

For a country suffering from unemployment at around 33%, it's a shame that is what Dangote could come up with.

Did they start the refinery last year?

We just keep deceiving ourselves in Nigeria. The struggle is between the poor, victimised class and the political and economic elites that keep exploiting the people.


As much as I would blame Dangote and his model, it will be insincere to exonerate the Nigerian government. It's just sad we don't have true leaders.

Depriest2020:
An Indian is the biggest shareholder in Dangote refinery. So it's expected. Nothing to lose sleep about. Lagosians should build estates & more hotels so as to benefit from those Indian workers that will eat & lodge in them.

This is nonsense. Please stop it....just stop it.

OluchiDelly:
oga the msg of the guy is not for everyone. it does not require flesh and blood to understand the msg he's passing accross. same way when his father/Pst Adeboye talks, their msg is for their children. if you are not one of the children, the msg no concern u.

I don't know why they get on edge whenever a Christian minister speaks. He has his audience and he posted an opinion. You either agree or not but if it pricks your conscience, check yourself.

Nothing wrong with watching football or any show (as long as it doesn't involve nudity). However, whatever activity or show we prioritise more than God is idolatry, it is wrong to prioritise anything than God. C'est fini!

obaidan:
All these holier than thou Christians sef, what would u have them watch, ur father's Mount zion movies,

Even if it's his father's mount zion movies you're addicted to and it takes the place of God in your heart, you're an idolater.

The message he's passing is that nothing you do should take God's place in our hearts. People just like unnecessary controversy and twisting of words to suit their narratives and increase the stubbornness.

Depriest2020:
2 Timothy 4:3-4.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

Yeah....very correct. This age is predictable to anyone who understands the bible

No be the state where dem dey born person for religion?

saphiere:
Any man who invites a lady to his house and does not provide transportation fare is more useless than the lady who asks for transportation money. Why would you initiate a visit if you are not ready to take the responsibility?

Does relationship have nothing to do with the will and agreement between a couple again? Is transport fare the determinant of a relationship?


If she can't provide for her own transportation fare and she has to ask, what does that make her? A dignified individual?

Let men give that kind of money from their own will. That gives a woman self-respect and dignity in the relationship too.

Anambra1stPikin:
All the state capital in east have flyovers, Akure the state capital is actually getting the first flyover same year Anambra 4th largest city Ekwulobia is getting flyover

The Ondo defender and you need some re-education.

What all of Nigeria need now us human capital development. Away with all these flyover nonsense when people keep languishing in poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and other indices of bad government.

FreeStuffsNG:
Those organisations are already tainted

Finance thrives on trust and where it's shaky, people will think twice before they trust you with funds they can not afford to lose.

Regulatory sanction for a finance organisation is red flag and bad business. I see some of them changing names and rebranding while some will just take their money from the account and sign out of that sector. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Including coys like abokifx?

Rather than admit the instability of governmenr further perpetuated by your masters, you're just trying to sound moral.

BoldBrainz:
All these religions should just rest and let us have peace for the love of God!

The Bible says "the way of peace, they know not"


How then can they allow you to have peace? Christians are meant to be persecuted since Jesus said so already. And no matter how calm and collected they are, some people will still persecute them.


The same way some religions are fundamentally built on violence, some others spread through persecution. Christianity spreads because of persecution.

tatatar:
"Only christians have the right to complain about contents deemed offensive,others should shut up" – so sayeth the Obidients camp.
A simple summary of this whole davido video brouhaha so far.

Mischievous individuals like you don't deserve response but lest you think you're clever (which you're not), you should reconstruct the argument there in the light of realities.

Gbọ, which group burned a college student for saying that religious stuffs shouldn't be posted? Which group has always been threatening fire snd brimstone over their jurisdiction?
Does that mean that people of other groups are necessarily "obidients"?

You see why your cleverness is deformed?

victooman:
Religion that knows their value and reverence , Religion that have utmost respect for everything they stand for.
Unlike my own religion, anybody can do anything and say anything and they are free to do it,
Any charlatan can come up call himself a pastor use the altar and pulpit to do all kind of nonsense against Christianity and when you talk, m.orons will tell you " not to judge"
they will tell you to "cast the first stone if you are holy"
so by this any idiot can wake up and insult Jesus christ, Christendom and it doctrine and nothing will happen.
You can hate Muslims all you want but you will never take away the fact that all over the world the nonsense been done in your religion will not and can never be tolerated in their own religion...

Are you a friend of Jesus or the religion that purportedly has a relationship with Jesus?

Jesus didn't avenge people's misuse of religions, rather He prayed that God should forgive them. That simple ideology is why Christianity has withstood tonnes of afflictions and persecution.


You don't fight for Jesus, you preach Jesus and you exercise his love towards others.

talented321:
Traditional religion has his own side effects which l know' but u know what? Whatever u do in tradition worship u gats pay for it here on earth while christian & muslim will promise u heaven' and that u can sin and after when u are died' that is when u are going to pay for the sins u have committed here on earth.
People that indulge in money in ritual to make money is fighting for their own selfish interest' just as pastors also deceive their member' the aftermath is the consequences that matters.
Oga' religion has big problem in this present nigeria.

That's why I want people to begin to see that religions by themselves are not the problem, there is something about our mentality as a people that needs to be corrected. Else, religions will lose their adherents and we will still have the same problems.

Look at all sorts of evil that people (sometimes members of a family) do to one another because of greed. Is there any religion on earth that support greed. Even scientism and athiesm doesn't support greed.

Religions like tribalism, racism etc are just tools. If we know how to use them well, we prosper as a people. If not, we keep finding excuses for our stagnation.

talented321:
Like i have said it before'' in sane country those trying to threaten others with hell fire has to be beaten into coma.
U see ur mates working for theirselves and instead of you to go and work you went into fasting and prayers expecting miracle from ur god. With muslim and christianity nigeria will not go anywhere.
My people are highly brainwashed beyond repair.

You people don't have a good grasp of the logic behind this thing but I feel narratives are always sweet if it's acceptable by a significant number od online people.


Are Nigerians as religious as the Indians? Why are Indians prospering and Nigeria is suffering?

If you understand the dynamics of Africans, powers and religions, maybe you will change your stand. Those religions alone don't determine what happen to us, rather we are the one determining what happens to the religions.

Or else, why do the religions say one thing and people are doing another? Yet, we blame the religions. Again, what about the traditional religions or you haven't observed that the ritualistic aspect of traditional religion (especially money ritual) is what people keep alive?

We as a people need to check ourselves. Religions don't unilaterally determines our fate. We determine as fate as a people.

Olodo bridge.

What a name!

The bridge must have been very dumb🤓

Unfortunately, seems na you dey du...lemme not finish it.

Olódó means pesin wey dey sell mortal and not dumb person.


It's not everything you catch cruise with.

Kukutente23:
We are not discussing racism. Arabs also believe you're a lesser Muslim. Even in Nigeria, Fulani Muslims believe they are superior to other Muslims. The Nigerian Muslim community is effectively a Fulani caliphate with the sultan as the head.
The fact still remains that you can't lump Muslims and Christians together when it comes to response to mischaracterization of their religion.
That's deceit. Muslims killing people on mere suspicion of having blaspheme their god is well documented especially here in Nigeria, while nothing of such is known for Christians

Leave thag guy alone please. If you follow his logic, you would realise he's a lowkey supporter of the barbaric act committed against Deborah.

He's just using a little grammar, sounding liberal to colour the narrative. Everyone knows those who kill other because they feel you're hurting their religion. He's just being mischievous adding pancakes to his narrative. Such people don't deserve the kind of explanation you're giving them because it's a fight against an ideology deep-rooted in violence.

The same cliches we are already used to

"Diversify the economy"
"Reposition the economy"

Productivity level is low, investment among SMEs are not consciously supported. Yet, they want to "diversify" the economy

Reno didn't mention that parents in those countries have multiple ways to raise the money either now or in the future.

Similarly, Reno and his minions are also not telling us about countries where education up to PhD level is free and yet, they have the best system in the world.

All of these assertions are half-truths. As an educator, I know that education is really expensive. But for a country that still a high number of uneducated citizens, couples with unemplyment even for PHD holders, tell me why education should look enticing to tue poor again.


If the poor and struggling don't find education enticing, tell me how human capital development of Nigeria can be raised. Tell me how Nigerians can be trained to become "normal" citizens like we have in most countries.

It is tricky with a sprinkle of foolishness for anyone to vehemently support the thieving political class now except you're benefiting from their largesse.

Ventura1:
Some people complaining find it disgusting sending their 6 years old child to a school that charge less than 100k/term, not even a session.

Let every school be charging 200k per year then both public and private with the current average income in the country and let's see what happens after that.

Shebi you live in luxury that put you far away from those people? I will only pray that you won't be a victim of armed robbery, kidnapping or violence. I sincerely say that prayer for you because that is what happens when education dies down.

TheBillyonaire:
He said nothing. Any fool could predict that election was going to be rigged and the mentioned will be involved.

As one of the 'fools' (I'm so sorry to say this but you used it yourself), did you make any prediction sinilar to this.

If you did, where is the evidence?

FreeStuffsNG:
Those who think education is expensive should try ignorance.

Now it's clear to everyone that the FG has been hugely subsidising education yet the ungrateful unpatriotic beneficiaries of this heavily subsidized education will immediately transfer the education overseas and still turn around to talk down on Nigeria. Smh. They will lose! You can not cheat Nigeria, Nigerian tax payers and go scot free.

Very soon, these FG schools will be charging cost reflective school fees while indigent students will get loans to pay it.

The welfarist system of the state drove the nation into monumental debts and widespread multidimensional poverty that produced a largely mediocre set of unpatriotic graduates with entitlement mentality. Imagine generations raised on fuel subsidy, electricity subsidy, education subsidies, health subsidies, free money cash transfer of npower, ponzi schemes, crypto etc, yet spend most time on Twitter, NL and other social media platforms. That's a legion of generations of largely unproductive lot! It is not sustainable anymore as our debts keep mounting and more youths get used to easy and fast money.

Our universities will now be forced to go back to the days people know why they are in school and will face it squarely to come out with great grades. NUC should equally ban federal universities from admitting JAMB candidates who score less than 200. It's ridiculous that UNICAL is admitting JAMB candidates who score 140 How on earth should FG be subsidising the education of a mediocre student who scored 140 out of 400. That's a 35% fail score!

Everyone must do the right thing to return this nation back to her consistent winning ways. Parents will now take parenting serious because the era you born excess hoping that govt will feed, clothe , train and educate them for you is gone.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Do you ever read out some of these responses to yourself and see how they sound?
Between the masses and the government, who are those living a welfarist lifestyle?

It's a shame that this is what you defend online. We've read the stories of many countries rising. This is not how they rose but we're in Nigeria and as for me and my family, we will be fine. I just pity those really struggling to live now especially when they're folks like you saying "well done, ride on" to politicians.


And btw, I'm not from SE before you start tagging me names.

Just turn down the offer and keep applying or else, search for assistanship positions that can offer tuition fee waiver and still pay stipends.


If it's PHD, it's better when you're funded. I don't think it wise to go for PhD with borrowed money or without funding. The stress isn't worth it.

I just can't.

Even if I'm the richest on earth and I have people managing my businesses without the need to be living my house everyday, I will still find something to keep me busy.

How do stay-at-home men manage it?

greatiyk4u:
Many up there didn't either comprehend the article or didn't read it at all

Isn't it easy to spot individuals who are all out to find out whether their town or cities made a list or not, which is a way they feel inferior or superior. The list talks about consumer power and they're whinning that Nnewi and Onitsha doesn't make it up. Who dare compare populations of Lagos, Kano, Abuja, PH and Ibadan with that of Nnewi or Onitsha?

On another note, if my town doesn't make the list, does it make me inferior to others? We just like whinning and celebrating mediocrity. Is it very difficult to find out the most populated cities in Nigeria?

Seriously?

Isn't it comical and ironic at the same time? When citizens are gainfully employed, the government takes the praise but when there is massive unemplyment, we blame them for relying too much on white collar job and expects the government to provide everything for them even when the government has failed to provide and sustain an environment that drives and rewards creativity and hardwork.

Any time a government official tells you to look elsewhere for job, tell him/her to resign his/her position and look elsewhere for job. More than any other agents in the state, it's the government's responsibility to ensure that citizens are well employed either through providing direct employement or promoting agencies, institutions, privates organisations who do that or ensuring that no creativity or entrepreneural effort of the citizens get wasted and maintaining an equitable society that supprts this.

Has the Nigerian government done any of this? Then they should spend their time thinking, planning and strategizing instead of talking and blaming people for the woes the government could have prevented. If our soiety is equitable and supportive enough, and people refuse to work, then they can say what they're saying now.

Wow... things humans experience

I don't have an offer to give out but I think I have something to say and I hope it makes sense to you.

Let's say this your aunt treats you and your daughter kindly, provides all that you need etc, would you want to live all your life depending on her?

Your answer is probably "no". This is why your mission should not be to quiet your aunt but to achieve a normal life for yourself and your daughter. When you think of achieving a better standard of living and fulfilling your purpose, I think you'd have more time to focus and escape from people who might want to exploit you.

May the right opportunity find you.

I believe in fairness and equity no matter the tribe or gender. In Yorubaland, women aren't drummers but if you have a daughter who likes to drum, nobody can stop her because of her gender. On the other hand, a system where men are neglected because we want more women participation is inequitable. In fact, it's better for women to be idle than for males (even young boys) to stay idle. But we're going the way of the West who have fully invested in their males.
Nevertheless, everyone deserves quality education no matter their gender and they deserve to be respected and considered for any position they seek as long as they're qualified and not because they're males or females.

You see pictures like these and you're reminded of the achievables when a state has a united sense of purpose. Isreal's determination in the midst of enemies, American dream that's open to any creative individual, the Japanese cultural and work ethic and the innovative mind of the South-East Asia. In Nigeria, what would be used to qualify us? Tribalism of Nigerians or Corruption of Nigerians or Delusion of grandeur of Nigerians or the hypocritical, over-religiousity of Nigerians? I don't know which one sounds better.

It's not that we're kuku not innovative or creative in Nigeria, we'll innovate and create solutions to every problem when we want to but we're more concerned with surpassing one another in terms of material wealth and we'll go to any length to achieve that. Politicians keep stealing and they get supported by those who hope to steal like them. Some who don't have access to steal from political positions devise all means to steal and defraud private individuals of their wealth and all we do is to show off. Why won't Nigeria be as messed-up as this?

Kusheer:
Thunder go fire poverty and thunder go fire Nigeria leaders that keep swallowing our money

Shall I say thunder should fire Nigerians who have been docile all these years despite the massive looting going on?
