Politics / Re: Godswill Akpabio, Philip Shaibu Celebrate With Monday Okpebholo. by dickson2000(m): 12:25am On Sep 23

placeofallure:

Do you know anything about politics at all? All of you are just obsessed with anything APC or TINUBU. When OBJ was president, he paid our debts and built our reserve with several billions of Naira. The Good luck Jonathan PDP government that came up immediately after squandered the money, that was when Diezani Alison-Madueke and others had a field day looting the money, Emefiele too, that insane thief ... The reserve was depleted even before Jonathan lost to Buhari. Even Okonjo confirmed this.

So what would you have Tinubu do? He's not a magician!
Many governors, as far back as the 2000s will leave office and have cases of fraud to answer to the tune of billions. All these monies will cripple the economy somehow. Again, all of these happened pre-Tinubu, pray what is Tinubu's fault in all these?

Do you even reason before you speak at all? What milestone, achievement or reform has this government reached or implemented to ameliorate the unfold hardship Nigerians are currently undergoing as a result of their 'trial and error' policies?

The President knows the economy is bleeding yet deemed it fit to get a new presidential jet and armoured vehicles even when the previous ones were still in excellent condition.
Every country subsidize essentially product for their citizens and subsidizing petrol is not peculiar to only Nigeria.

Even Buhari who we all thought never understood basic economics got this right. He ensured he shifted the burden of subsidy removal to the next government because he knew it was very sensitive. Tinubu came in without assessing the situation, he removed subsidy, and as if that wasn't enough, he devalued the naira, increased electricity tariff and implemented multiple taxation.

Instead of bringing in technocrats, he brought in people who have no great track record of performance. All they do is to listen to IMF whose postulation doesn't mean well for the country.

'He's not a magician' you said but his performance so far can't even be likened to being so 'poor' as this would still be unfair to the word 'poor'.

Incase you've forgotten, naira was less than 400 to USD before this government came, but today it's approaching 2000 to $1. A litre of petrol was less than 300 before they came but it's over a thousand today. A kg gas was less than N600 before he came but today it's N1200. Rice was less than 50k before he came but today it's 90k. The purchasing power of Nigerians have been further diminished to the point where salary can no longer sustain feeding for 2 weeks let alone saving for other projects.

So what's your point of defense for the current government when they are even below the very poor index zone of performance metrics?

Celebrities / Re: “it’s Don Jazzy’s Fault That Wizkid Called Him An Influencer” - Verydarkman Says by dickson2000(m): 9:52pm On Apr 29

Mr context ! Is don jazzy an influencer or not? Do jazzy himself have spoken about younger artist making content regularly to make them self relevant for a long time. He gave example of portable zazuu. Do you know why a lot of you fight and quarrel over nothing? You try to bring your so call context to every statement and conversation.

Maybe you should work on your comprehension. "lol never chatting to anyone signed to an influencer" means what to you who feels context is irrelevant ? If you lack conception, I'll help you out. Your Idol, Wizkid meant he can't demean his level or lower his status to banter words with someone signed to an influencer.
An influencer in the context of your idolo's text is someone whom he Wizkid feels doesn't worth his engagement or someone below his class. I hope you were able to grasp it

yes I am unintelligent enough to know that truly donjazzy is a content creator, a music producer, a singer an actor , a business man and more.

Don Jazzy is a top notch business man and a core entrepreneur. That he uses his platform to help artists and content creators across board doesn't make him an influencer. Wizkid calling Don an influencer is contextually abusive, demeaning and derogatory. Respect to all the influencers out there and I don't mean to undermine their efforts but Don isn't an influencer just because he lends his platform to help people. Wizkid and his charlatans should know that even his helper who made him respects and regards Don.

Who is an influencer, Nigerians are just unintelligent, celebrities are influencers that is why brands pay them for advert and publicity/ but una d change meaning of things for here sha . Even wizkid is an influencer that is why glo paid him to influence the public to choose glo…. If he said don jazzy is a content creator…. Is different ball game . Which is not even wrong or a lie. Musicians create music, there create content online. Record short videos with their phones and post on TikTok and Instagram. All this are content .

I'm sorry bro but you're the unintelligent one here. Do you know what "context" means? If you do, then you'd know that Wizkid's statement was insulting and condescending. Don jazzy isn't and would never be Wizkid's mate. Where was Wizkid 25 years ago when Don and the likes were rigorously pushing the industry till it evolved to become what it is today? How many artists has Wizkid groomed or made successful?Don deservingly earned the status and respect he commands today and Wizkid should have some respect.

The other Karu is a local government on its own under Nasarawa state with HQ called 'New Karu'. I've stayed in Karu site for more than 20 years, so you know I'm not just using Google information

Politics / Re: Army Recruitment: Northerners Arrested For Attempt To Take Lagos Slots by dickson2000(m): 10:12am On Jan 04

AwkaFinest:

Last time I checked the army was begging people from Rivers and Delta to apply. That these 2 states have the least applicants. Infact, besides Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers, the other 4 Niger Delta states always have the least number of applicants.

During our time, Lagos had the poorest turn with only 5 candidates coming for screening, Akwa-Ibom we're like 13, Rivers were like 12 or so. It's was only the northern states that were complete.

That is great, all this madness has to stop.

National security is not meant for just one ethic group.

You're very correct but the honest truth is that, Lagosians do not really fancy Military jobs. Their turnout is always very low in military job applications and screenings.

I remember when I went for my final screening for 2015 Nigerian Army SSC in Kaduna. 24 candidates were selected from every state in Nigeria except for Lagos whose candidates were only 5. The commandant said only 7 people applied from Lagos and all were successful but only 5 turned up for screening. During the screening, one person even ran away because he was afraid as the process was rigorous.

So, I think people take advantage of the fact that Lagosians do not really like the profession to claim Lagos State of origin during application.

I hear you. But you forget something, criminality comes in different hues, might be tribal and might also be of mind. I am now talking of the mind now. By supporting Emefiele in his criminal acts, that means you are his brother.

Your perception about me or my comments are just your personal judgement which won't deter my unbiased opinion.
No rational individual supports corruption, and my comments never supported the Emefiele. Tell your people to quit the blame game and fix the economy. Mind you, the previous government was an APC government and Emefiele worked for the APC government.

The government is only 8 months in action. Are you saying the other governments before them are not culpable for the present financial stress all of us are going through? Is the present government now the only one responsible for the country's economy's mismanagement?

So, whose government was it? Mine or APC? Is the current government not the same as the previous? The man at the helms of power today said he came in prepared with a master plan and blueprint to fix the country; however, the government had made living unbearable for Nigerians just within the space of 8 months. Ohh, because the previous government mismanaged the economy justifies the current government's mismanagement and lack of directions?

Does saying it out automatically prosecute him and his accomplices? Or does the media? Is he still the CBN governor that makes fiscal and monetary policies? Aren't you aware of people groaning about cash crunch and business failing due to bad policies? Emefiele and his cronies should be prosecuted if guilty and not all these media trial. Still be reminded that this government has impoverished a lot of Nigerians due to their policies.

You people should just stop complaining and work. You wanted power and you've gotten it, so just fix what needs to be fixed so that Nigerians can have a breath of fresh air. This government seems more like a government of propaganda already. And to think they've even inflicted Nigerians with the highest form of pain and anguish with slapdash policies makes their complaints unjustified. Emefiele and other top officials of the past government who were accomplices should be punished if all these accusations are true. Please, let Nigerians rest with complaints that won't benefit them.

Religion / Re: Do Newborn Babies Go To Heaven When They Die by dickson2000(m): 8:02pm On Nov 26, 2023

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ pretty much made it clear that ALL have to be born-again — Born of Water AND Born of Spirit— in order to enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 21 - where Jesus Christ reigns as King and Judge over both Heaven(Eternal Reward) and Hell(Eternal Damnation) - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. Therefore babies by virtue of not being born-again cannot end up in either Heaven or Hell as proclaimed by Jesus Christ.

Is a newborn Born of Water(Fountain of Living Water that is Jesus Christ) AND Born of Spirit(of Eternal Life that is Jesus Christ) for you to insinuate he or she would have a part in the Kingdom of God where Jesus Christ is King and ruler over both Heaven(Eternal Reward) and Hell(Eternal Damnation)?

How do you baptize a stillborn or a child who dies just immediately after birth? God's ways are different and you can't fathom it. God is Just and merciful!

A clear pointer for you is the book of Matthew 18:1-3 :- “At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’ ”

Because only those who continously submit to and obey all of His teachings and commandments, abandoning their will and ego to accomplish, can earn the reward that is Heaven i.e. become children of God.

If this is one of the qualities Christ urged His Disciples to have to make the Kingdom of God, then you shouldn't be saying newborn babies who die during birth are going to hell.

There is no such thing as an age of accountability in the Kingdom of God. That lie was instead fed to you by your popes and your mogs. Nothing in Scripture hints at such an idea.

2. What Jesus Christ instead said is regarding the doing of good towards others... He meant His disciples are to submit even to children. He never ever suggested in that context that their age allows them into the Kingdom of God.
Rather, He said His own disciples were to become LIKE children in order to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

And why do you think Jesus told His disciples that they have to become like children in order to enter the Kingdom of God?

AwokenVawulence:
Probably not , 1.everyone is born into sin and must first accept Jesus as his personal saviour before he can be saved.
2. If the child is male and uncircumcised he can't enter the kingdom of heaven

You are wrong, sir. Even though it wasn't spelt out explicitly in the bible, there's age of accountability when a child shall be held accountable for his or her own sins. When he or she can deduce what is right and what is wrong, he or shall will be accountable.

'The concept of the age of accountability is based on the belief that a young child is covered by God's grace until they become spiritually conscious of defying or resisting Him"

"In Matthew 19:13 - Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
"Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
