Islam is calling you, my christian brothers and sisters. Hellfire is real, so do not allow yourselves to become fuel for the scorching fire.

We should leave Christianity to join the counterfeit? Are you OK?

Auki:
That religion will collapse very soon. The Pastor are the biggest producers of atheism. Atheism will soon take a center stage in the predominant Christian spaces. Islam will absorbed most of the Atheist, meaning Islam will continue to thrive and wax stronger.

Reflect on UK, European and US current situation. Islam is now the fastest growing religion in those spaces after collapse of Christianity.

Islam growing by birthrate, not conversion. What do you say about empty mosques in Iran?

Typing:
Where will Obi get his votes to become the next President? Will the little votes he will get in South South and majority votes he will get from South East makes him President? Obi knew he does stand a chance. He decided to work with Tinubu to reduce Atiku's votes. So that, Tinubu will become victorious.

What they refuse to understand is that, the entire North is lock down for Atiku. With massive votes from South South, votes from South West and some fraction of votes from South East, Atiku will win with wide margin

Entire North including the central? Joking right?
So Atiku will get massive votes from SS, SE and SW against a southerners that has just spent 4 years in power, just after a disastrous Buhari's 8 years? You'll be shocked.

Step down for who? So Tinubu will finish up Atiku before 12 noon?

Buhari single-handedly put more than 25million people in poverty between 2015 and 2021. I'm not absolving Tinubu because he's an APC member, but nothing much changed since he took over if you look at 2021 data and what we have now.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Out of 100 million people in Lagos, 55 million na ghosts.

The bigger the city, the more random and unknown people congregate.

I've sighted a deceased person selling okrika in Mushin. This person was deceased years ago. Even I saw my landlord's former okada rider in Moshalashi some years back. This person died in a road accident years ago.

Demons impersonating dead people? Yes! Ghosts? No!

symbianDON:
loud it o! Let them hear. As a user of both Toyota and Honda, I'll go with Honda twice a day.

Even the feel is different.

shurlah:
Truly said. Hondas are cheaper to maintain, drive faster , and have better interior.Honda also share parts across vehicles and models , an example is baby boy honda accord and eaglespirit use the same front shock absorber.
The only issue with honda cars is the resale value in nigeria.

Yes. I used to have a V6 baby boy that carries Honda pilot engine. That machine moves like wind. The way it moves gives me goosebumps.

:::


I have driven both at different times. I don't think Honda has better engines though.

Honda might be better in certain aspects but in my personal judgement generally and overall Toyota cars are better and the specific metric for comparison in the post which is reliability Honda is no match for Toyota. Toyota is far too rugged and ahead compared ( plus in many other metrics of measurement)


I've never enjoyed anything special or unique driving a Honda.

:::

I always have the two brands at any point in time since 2011.
Compare Accord vs Camry or Civic vs Corolla of the same year, you'll have a different perspective. If by reliability, you mean you can wake up one morning and start your car and go to a 500km journey without concerns, well my cars give me that, Toyota or Honda. Apart from the fact that most Nigerians prefer Toyota, I don't know any other metric.

brain54:
:::

Honda better than Toyota?


I'm what ways. Kindly elaborate.

:::

They have better, more efficient engines. Their parts are cheaper too.
Honda over Toyota if you actually enjoy driving.

Easyincome24:
As an experienced driver, what would you do in this situation?

No reasonable human should drive at 180km/hr except they're on a race track.

AutoPriceCheck:
From 12 years in Ladipo Market, I can tell you this: Toyota is not necessarily the best built car, but it's the best car for Nigeria. Here's why:1. Parts availability — Toyota parts are everywhere. Any market in Nigeria, any mechanic, any road — you'll find Toyota parts. Try finding a Hyundai or Kia part in a small town.2. Affordability — Toyota parts are cheaper than most other brands because of competition. Many dealers sell Toyota parts, so prices stay competitive.3. Mechanic knowledge — Every mechanic in Nigeria knows Toyota. You won't struggle to find someone who can fix it.4. Resale value — Toyota holds its value better than any other brand in Nigeria.Other brands might build better cars, but in Nigeria, availability and affordability of parts matter more. A car you can't find parts for is useless, no matter how well it's built.

The same thing is true for Honda. And yes, Honda is more affordable than Toyota, and better too.

Flesh10:
I should pay tax to a govt that is not transparent and ridden with corruption. Dey play

Then you have no right to complain. You're not stakeholder.

NOETHNICITY:
Even if this were true, it would not change the fact that Islam is the fastest-growing major religion in the world, while Christianity is experiencing significant declines in some parts of the world. Churches are closing down, with some being converted into mosques, nightclubs, and other establishments. Countries that were once predominantly Christian are becoming increasingly secular, while Islam continues to grow within their populations.For example the UK, France, The Netherlands, Estonia, Czech Republic, etc. These broader demographic trends are far more telling than the decision of one individual, who may have little or no genuine understanding of Islam, to leave the religion.

Fastest by breeding in a manner that puts rabbits to shame?

I can't possibly take anyone promising the return to any form of fuel subsidy seriously talk less of voting for them.
The country can't just afford it.

onuman:
But why does Peter Obi submit himself to interview by hostile journalists like this lady here?

Let them go and interview their Tinubu to tell people what he will do for them if they reelect him.

All you have to do is watch an interview with an unbiased journalist and you'll see how empty those politicians you support are? I mean, I can't possibly say any of those nonsense Obi did, not even while sleep-walking. How did we get to the point where the IQ of top contestants are so gravely low?

Rayjay45:
See all these data boys foaming in the mouth just because someone said the obvious.

Peter Obi won that election!

He said what he said.

Now what? Other than your infantile jabs wey no pass Nairaland?

The obvious without one shred of evidence?
Now reverse the scenario, imagine Tinubu lost in 2023, and 3 years later coming out to say exactly this. I'm sure you won't feel the same way.
This goes to show that all the cries about hardship is because someone you hate is the president, not because you care. You'd find an excuse for it, just the way Tinubu fans are doing now.
Between mass murderers and hypocrites, I don't know who is worse. It's hard to pick.

Always sounding like a deranged person.

FSBoperator:
Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa are majority Christian.

Bornu is 50:50.

Only Yobe is majority Muslim but there is still a significant Christian population.

NE is not homogenous as the NW when it comes to religion and tribes.

The reason Christians don't get positions is because they are divided more along tribal considerations. The Muslims, are however more united along religious lines.

The Gombe I know is not majority Muslim. Do they have almost equal population? Yes, but not majority. Only Gombe southern districts like Biliri and Kaltungo are dominantly Christians. The northern district has more population and they're most Muslims. I don't much about the demographic in Bauchi state, just remove Borno from your list. Just like Gombe, the southern part are majorly Christians.

If you are a young person that really wants to grow in life, you need to be careful about the type of church you attend, and the kind of messages you listen to.

Your twenties and thirties are formative years. The church you plant yourself in during this season will shape your faith, your thinking, and your future.

Here are five types of churches every young person should run from.

1. The Church That Calls Every Problem a Spiritual Attack

In this church, nothing is ever just normal.
You failed an exam? It's the spirit of failure. You can't find a job? Demons in your village are fighting you. You are sick? It's a generational curse. Your relationship ended? Someone is doing juju against you.
Instead of analyzing what you are doing wrong and adjusting, you are fighting an enemy in the spirit realm while the real problem sits in your habits, your choices, your preparation.

You start believing God has abandoned you to attackers. Every problem becomes proof that you are under siege. You live in constant fear, seeing demons in every disappointment.

Yes, spiritual warfare is real, it is so real but so is personal responsibility. Wisdom knows when to pray and when to study. When to fast and when to see a doctor. A church that never teaches you the difference is setting you up for a life of passivity and paranoia.


2. The Church That Says You Can 'Only' Be Blessed 'Only' Through Sowing Seeds

Need a job? Sow a seed. Need a child? Sow a seed. Need academic excellence? Sow a seed. Need financial breakthrough? Sow a seed.

Every problem has one solution: give money.

This is not faith. This is a ponzi scheme with Bible verses attached.

GOD does not run a transaction business. Sowing should come from a heart that wants to expand God's kingdom not from a desperate person trying to bribe heaven into answering a prayer.

If you are a young person in this church, you will be convinced to pour your small salary into seeds for breakthrough instead of investing in your skills, your education, or your savings. You will give money you don't have, believing that your next gift is the one that finally unlocks your miracle.

God gives seed to the sower. He is the source not your return on investment. A relationship with GOD is not a business deal. Any church that treats it like one is using you and will keep you small.


3. Any Church That Makes You Feel Rich People Are Bad People

Some churches preach in a way that makes you believe every wealthy person is either an occultist, a criminal, or someone who sold their soul to the devil. Money becomes automatically associated with evil. If you have money, you must have done something wrong. If you are poor, you are automatically righteous.

This teaching sounds spiritual. It sounds like it is defending GOD and standing for holiness. But it is actually dangerous, especially for a young person who is trying to build a future.

Why This Is Dangerous
'You cannot become what you despise'.

If deep down you believe that rich people are wicked, you will unconsciously sabotage yourself every time you start making progress. You will feel guilty for wanting more. You will be afraid that success will turn you into the kind of person you have been taught to hate. So you stay small because you have been programmed to fear wealth.

You cannot pray for what you condemn.

You cannot kneel down and ask GOD for financial breakthrough while in your heart you believe that those who have money are criminals. That is a divided heart. GOD is not confused. You are asking for something you have already judged as evil. That prayer will not work because your own belief system is fighting against it.

Many wealthy people got there through:

· Discipline and delayed gratification
· Years of learning and skill development
· Smart investments and financial literacy
· Solving problems that people are willing to pay for
· Building businesses that employ others
· Consistent hard work over many years


4. Churches That Make You Always Pray for a Destiny Helper

Some churches teach that your success in life depends on one mysterious person a "destiny helper" who will suddenly appear and change your life. So every service, every prayer meeting, every vigil, you are crying out for a destiny helper to locate you.

"Father, connect me to my destiny helper."
"Lord, send me a helper from above."
"Any man or woman that will change my story, let them find me this month."

Why this is dangerous is that it replaces personal responsibility with passive waiting.

Instead of learning a skill, you are waiting for a helper. Instead of applying for jobs, you are waiting for a helper. Instead of saving and investing, you are waiting for a helper. Instead of building your network and adding value to people, you are waiting for a helper.

You become spiritually lazy but emotionally convinced that you are doing the right thing. You are not lazy you are praying. But prayer without works is dead (James 2:26).

While you are praying for miracle alert, miracle money, miracle job, miracle husband, miracle wife, miracle visa, there are people your age learning:

· How to budget and save
· How to invest
· How to build a business
· How to negotiate a salary
· How to develop marketable skills
· How to network effectively
· How to manage their time and resources


5. The Church That Demands Unquestioning Obedience to Leadership

In this church, the pastor is GOD'S only mouthpiece for your life.
You are told not to question. Not to think too hard. Not to leave because leaving is rebellion against GOD HIMSELF. They control who you date, what career you pursue, where you live, what you wear. Your personal convictions are dismissed if they don't align with the pastor's.

The pastor becomes a mediator between you and God. You can't hear God for yourself anymore you need to go through him.

As a young person, this stunts your growth. You never learn to hear GOD'S voice for yourself. You never develop discernment. You become dependent on a human being instead of the Holy Spirit.
Any church that punishes questions is afraid of what you will find. Any leader who can't be questioned shouldn't be followed.

Thank you for this wonderful piece. God will continue to grow your wisdom.

They need to offer cheaper data and call rates if they are to knock MTN and others off their perch. If not, they should prepare to pack their bags like Etisalat, Zain, V mobile, econet and others before them.

Econet, V mobile and Zain are one and the same with Airtel. Just a change of name.

TheMensch:
Person first talk say their data too cost. I no want am. Thank you

It's not just about the data cost.
We are currently paying hugely for limited data and poor signals.

NEIS Poll: Atiku leads in North East, North West; Peter Obi leads in South, NC

27k is about 0.03% of total registered voters in Nigeria. More than half of those who participated most probably don't have voters cards.
I pity una.

Elusive001:
Nope read the first two paragraphs again.


A Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Abayomi Arabambi, has sued the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) over the alleged refusal to release details of the academic record of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).

Arabambi, in a fresh suit, said he had requested a certified true copy (CTC) of Obi’s certificate number D000198 in respect of a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy issued in 1984 in line with the Freedom of Information Act, but the institution turned down his demand.

He requested Obi’s academic records from the school and the school refused. No school will release it.

The court will NOT grant h8s request because Obi’s academic records has caused no harm to Arabambi. There is absolutely no correlation between him and Obi’s records.

The first two paragraphs said: has sued...in a fresh suit...
No one needs interpretation to know these are legal terms.
And yes, UNN will release the results. Academic information are not classified. I don't know about yours, but my name along with the class of degree was posted in a public notice board on campus when I graduated.

dre11:
https://dailytrust.com/zulum-after-tinubu-presidency-will-return-to-north/

North Central to be precise. No be only North West and North East be north.

Elusive001:
So you can now see how foolish that Arabambi is? Why didn't he go to court to ask for the release? Why write the school first?

Bros, the court will NOT order UNN to release Peter Obi’s academic records. His records has no impact on Arabambi

I thought I saw something about a court order on original post citing FOI.

Elusive001:
Bros, no school can just release her student's academic records to anyone without legal authorization.

So I can just wake up one morning and write your school to release your academic records to me and thet oblige?

The case is dead on arrival.

A valid court order is what the university needs to release any result. Besides, organizations verify their employees academic information from the university they claim to attend to ascertain the authenticity of their record without the knowledge of the employees concerned.
UNN definitely doesn't need the approval of Obi to release his academic information. The information exclusively belongs to them.

Reading through the comments here I just have to thank God that I don’t have an Obidient as a family member anymore. 😂

What a people! 😂

Are they all gone or they've come back to their senses? 😂

Enjoy your money while you still alive. Next of kins don't give a damn about your life savings.

Kalulu44:
It's you who is interpreting it to suit you.
The argument of the matter is that Wike as PDP chieftain who have their presidential candidate is supporting an APC candidate.
Meaning the PDP candidate is just like a caricature/place holder for APC.
And Rufai wanting to translate it to Yoruba said it exactly the way it's supposed to be said. "Gbewudani" hold my clothes, hold my position or hold this thing for me.
.
Pls I am still asking, translate gbewudani for us? I wait.

All these explanations doesn't change the fact that gbewudani doesn't mean a placeholder in Yoruba language. Deal with that.

Kalulu44:
Ok the real meaning is "hold clothes or hold my clothes" and in political context it's a place holder. So tell me what I don't know

Only someone who doesn't understand Yoruba would translate that as a placeholder. It's always used to describe a mentally slow individual.
You can interpret it the way you want, it won't change the meaning.

Kalulu44:
And I am still asking, how is gbewudani an insult?
If I am not mistaking, it means "place holder" so how is that an insult?

Oga, it's an insult and it certainly doesn't mean a placeholder.
