They don't actually realize how vast science and technology knowledge is in our world today.
Knowledge, education, research and development are the drivers of the future

Government are actually meant to focus majorly on this

Rather the politicians don't even give a damn
Throwing our energy/resources as a Nation to waste


It's very pathetic and disheartening

I personally believe that if the pricing is good whereby Dangote fuel is cheaper

Importers will be run out of town

But if Dangote s price is higher
The importers will take advantage of that

That's normal practices anywhere else in the business world

stevups:
The way ministry is designed, Paul Eneche, Ibiyiome, are supposed to learn under the experience of Abioye but now Abioye will consult them, no matter what! I do not rule out his achievements, but one must know when to stop dancing. Can relate the story of Laban and Jacob? Jacob said " I have been serving you all this while, when should I prepare for my home?" To me, Abioye has a closed mind. The politics in the church is more than the politics in government. I studied church history, I can boldly tell you that Oyedepo also learnt under someone. Most of the people that desire absolute loyalty don't give it to others. Immediately I stepped into the Canaanland I could see there is a big problem on ground. In the next 10 years you will see, that many churches will spring out of winners.

I may disagree

Bishop Abioye did the right thing serving Bishop Oyedepo

He was a very humble and meek man

God rewards not based on Man's perception

Also kindly note that having biggest ministry isn't or shouldn't be the highest goal

But doing the Lords will and purpose should be the real goal


I recently read up on John Wesley the founder of Methodist church

He died the year1791
But his work he did is still relevant today as Methodist church

We humans are mortal

All these our pursuits are ephemeral
Doesn't last

God is the constant
And pleasing him should be the ultimate goal


So God's work will continue to florish and prosper till the Lord returns

Because God works in mysterious ways that we humans can't fathom

His ways are past understanding

Daniel058:
These are men of God I can comfortably listen to their messages

David OGBUELI

Arome OSAYI

CHRIS OYAHKILOME

MICHAEL OROKPO

JOHN ANOSIKE

FEMI LAZARUS

JOEL OGEBE
LAWRENCE OYOR

ISAAC EFFA
APOSTLE VICTOR



The one I can really follow their teachings re just 3 ,DAVID OGBUELI, AROME OSAYI AND MICHAEL OROKPO

I can't really follow motivational speakers,they will end up making me feel that God does not exist

To each his own

Every preacher have there audience but the Bible is the constant

I still have great respect for Bishop Oyedepo

I call him the working Bible

If you are a matured Christian you will know that Bishop Oyedepo is very deep

Before his preaching was a bit vague
But when I got more matured I understood him so much more

Example I streamed today's service live from Canaan Land Ota 1st and 2nd service

He was teaching on sanctification and that was very deep

The notes I got will still do more research on my own within the week

I have got great huge respect for Bishop Oyedepo

Believeintruth:
They want to manipulate the statistics to give a semblance of high GDP.

It can't be manipulated

Global financial institutions such as World Bank, IMF, WTO, IFC, Wall Street firms such as JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs etc already have Nigeria's economic data

Infact these Global financial institutions have economic data on every Country on Earth

Because that's what they use for financial activities with each Nation

Example Nigeria have been getting funds from World Bank, IMF, IFC etc

They can't release funds if they don't have updated data of the present economy

Freetech:
But it made sense when Okonjo Iweala did it.

Bitter soul. Did you people consider production when you're comparing our Gdp to that of other countries or even years before?

Can't you see Nigeria understand better now

Consider the results of election in Edo and Ondo state. LP is no more a contestant but a mere spectator.

This has nothing to do with being bitter soul

Obj, Yaradua, Jonathan all had good economies in there era

That's why Gej era were able to rebase it

Presently Nigeria has has 2 recession since 2015

The naira have lost so much value
As low as going to 1700 to the $

Nigerian economy presently have gone down to no 4 in Africa

So there's a very big work cut out for this present government

Post 2015 era can't be compared to 1999 to 2015 since we embraced democracy again

So we are talking about verifiable real Data from enlightened/educated minds not market/beer parlour gossip talk that discourse about Nigerian economy always descends to of recent.

ultim:
Yes, but there are other ways you can serve God and it will amount to huge sacrifice before God. To what extent have you studied the scripture part from the few cited verses?

The greatest thing you can do is Love The Lord your God with all your heart and Love your neighbor as yourself

Love is the greatest of God's virtues

Love made Christ to come

Love is the greatest virtue any human being can attain

The most excellent Way

Which humanity seriously need in today s world

chidiokay:
Alol !! 🤣🤣🤣 this guy naa full blown narcissist i swear, why should a lady you dont like one bit stay calm, wait for what ?? dont you listen to yourself

why didnt you wait till you were ready for marriage b4 sex abi weytin bible tell us ...
you are the one holding yoursef captive not the marriage not the lady cos you are allowing your past hold you captive

A woman that can force you to get her pregnant, marry her and keep you till now .. should have it easy pissy to force you sponspor her papa burial naw, why is "her force" not working now ?? the burial bill no even reach 4m wey you don spend 😄

I am surprise you didnt blame her for times you didnt have money sef, bad leg/astura
weytin we never see for street.

olohun ma je ko pe ko toh ye é

This your quote is deeply philosophical and makes so much sense 👍

Truly very many people are held hostage as prisoners of there past

Not just knowing that the past is just a lesson

chidiokay:
Bro somtimes people dont value what they have they lose it.. for your mind you feel you are so prepared to lose her ... you will even rush to church do thanksgiving nd share food ... you might be in for a shocker

For a gurl you claim not to love, no physical attraction but you admitted getting her pregnant ! how naw ?? or did she force you to do
i know what you want to hear but the truth is what you need ... i notice you didnt complain about her character/attitude/nature so basically the problem is you nd your "feelings"
Bro you feel no love for that gurl cos you wont allow anything grow,
have you tried to focus on her good sides nd lets see if you won't starting catching feelings,
i take it you dont know how lucky you are to be in a r/ship the woman loves you more and she is bent on staying ... have you heard the one you love doesnt want you,

As for her family i get the picture, buh you dont have to get physical with them, you can just say your NO without blow, nobody fit force you do weytin you no wan do, how sef
if i was in your shoes i will tell them big No as well buh for my wife sake i can decide to contribute or tell them highest i can do for them. shikena

The guy doesn't know that a woman he's chasing away and she doesn't want to leave him loves him.


He might end up regretting this

We humans must learn how to open our heart to people that genuinely care for us


He impregnated her

And yet married her to cover her shame

It shows he actually cares for the woman

He should learn to open his heart and start treating that woman Right

He might feel he is young now
But a time will come he will see the importance of doing the right thing


Hard heart and lack of genuine Love is the biggest problem bedeviling us as humans

I personally don't tolerate nonsense/foolishness from women

But when I see a woman that makes conscious effort for her Man

I personally appreciate that because I know the kind of snakes and scorpions we have today among them

BlindAngel:
My wife has been the one holding me back, she's not ready to let go. I told her that she should at least get some dignity, someone doesn't want you but you're forcing yourself on him. That most women in her shoes would have walkes away without blinking an eye, due to the constant humiliation and disrespect, but still she isn't in anyway ready to let go.

She told me that she's ready for me to return the bride price but we'd still be together, which I plainly rejected.

Don't give up on that woman

Since she doesn't want to let go

Child/ children have come into your union

You did the right thing by marrying her

Open your heart and respond to the Love she's giving you


A time you may need that woman

Though you may feel you don't need her

Your point?

He was an extremely wealthy man

He was a believing Christian

He supported his Church with his giving

Even after his death his company metamorphosised into big Oil conglomerate we know today

ExxonMobil
Chevron
ConocoPhillips

His foundation Rockefeller foundation is still very relevant today


Conclusion:


It pays for a man to serve God with His wealth

Even after he's gone

His wealth still touches Life today

Which is what I term godly kind of wealth

So he was a Man I greatly admired


Funnily

We don't have this kind of legacies in this part of the world

Once the owners of the wealth dies
There money vanishes

There's is no transgenerational wealth
In this part of the world

Which shows that most times the money were made in dubious ways and forms

In the end it becomes vanity upon vanity like the book of Ecclesiastes said so in the Bible

I know John Rockefeller was a Bible believing Christian during his days

He supported his Church then Episcopal church of America with plenty giving

Rockefeller was the richest man in the US during his days

His company Standard Oil which broke into several Oil companies after his death into today:

Exxon Mobil
Chevron
ConocoPhillips

Rockefeller foundation is one of the biggest NGO s today supporting scholarship in education, health assistance and health based research

Nadingo:
Have you ever heard of Mallam Nasir Elrufai? Wike has not done 10% of what that short dude did in the FCT, and can never catch up to 50% if he's given two tenures as Minister of the FCT. Love him or hate him, there's no better administrator in Nigeria than that short dévil called Elrufai.

Sure I concur to this one

Nasir El Rufai still stands out above the rest

Although I will disagree with Him in many things

But if Nasir come out tomorrow for Presidency

I will fully support and vote for him

vanbonattel:
Wike is doing well, let's give him credit. The other past norther administrators should learn from him.

I was telling someone this same thing recently

With the exception of Nasir El Rufai

Other Northern FCT ministers didn't do much in comparison to Wike
Especially the past FCT minister during Buhari era Bello

I have been a critique of Wike concerning the Fubara debacle

But truthfully
Wike have been an exceptional FCT minister

Although the demolition s have been painful though

DeOTR:
Language is the bedrock of development of any society.
If you examine the so-called advanced economies of the world. They have one thing in common: using their mother tongue to teach their children in school. Now reverse this scenario for underdeveloped countries and you'll see our problem, especially in Africa.

The challenges related with
Accepting our mother language in Africa is because we have many languages here

That's why the language of the colonialists reigns supreme here

I can read and write Igbo fluently
Even Google turned my search engine to Igbo language

But still it's very difficult for me

I still prefer English language that I am used to

Ability to read and write to me is the basic foundation for being enlightened/educated
Not even degree self

That's what African leaders/policy makers should be targeting

For example
Singapore today is a first world country with per Capita income over $80,000
But Singapore reached this height via education
This education were thought in English language

I have been to Singapore severally and I can say there's no much difference between Nigeria and Singapore in language issue much

They were still colonized by the British like Nigeria

So leadership is still the major problem I see with us here
Our leaders don't value or know the value good education can do to a people/Nation

JagabanBorgu:
The last time I checked, the average lgb0 business don't pay taxes to the govt, even Soludo complained about it in Anambra that taxing the lgb0 business is difficult.
People who don't pay taxes are adding to the IGR?
How many lgb0 businesses have tax records in those states?
U are all so good in taIks without thinking what u are saying through.
Someone who doesn't have tax record is paying tax, how are they paying it?
Someone who doesn't have a registered business is paying tax, how?
Most of the lgb0 businesses in the state I mentioned don't even know anything about paying taxes, we are a country with extremely low income from taxes but according to one roadside economists on Nairaland, lgb0 tax is what is developing those states.


I 100% want to kick u lots out of my country, sharing a cóûñtry with u is a dîsèase on it's own, but where do we start?
U are asking me to lead the charge for ur secession?
U are not even making any move before asking for support, u people should make an official proposals for secession and see if the whole country wóñ't accept it immediately, u are making ñoisè on social media and talking about support.

100% want to kick u lots out of my country, sharing a cóûñtry with u is a dîsèase on it's own, but where do we start?


Dude you are extremely very delusional by this your statement


You must be a kid?

Held the largest share in Fidelity bank, owner of NEXT, and own plethora of businesses. The problem is that he doesn't reflect how rich he is

Exactly

He is excessively very rich and wealthy man

But he doesn't show it one bit

Peter Obi just dey flex his money via donation

The guy get money very well

He doesn't believe in wasting his hard earned money on frivolities but rather on good causes

Which to me is better

SirLakes:
no doubt!

now is not a good time to enter if you wan buy crypto............end!

Really

But
Crypto was $75k the day Donald Trump won election

It later reached whooping $80k
Yesterday

smileyoo:
That's good of you, and God will always be happy with you, protecting you always.
People seemed not to understand that helping the less-priveledged is one of the greatest sacrifices acceptable to God.

Yes

You know the funny thing

Immediately I sent help to her

A close relative owing me some good money, sent me back some


One of the things I am beginning to focus more now is helping the less privileged around me
Accord to my capacity

Same period I have started getting some concept/ insights and understanding into some businesses and investments I never knew about before

So helping people/ carrying peoples welfare opens unimaginable doors

SirLakes:
if you like go and buy at this peak and let them analyst or influencers deceive you.

Your money will enter bush

Trading on stocks and crypto is all about having long term vision

I remember when I started trading forex in 2011

Lost some dollars

But later gained back some good dollars

Having long-term vision will enable one to grow and do well financially

smileyoo:
lol. but the bitter truth is that this T-pain no longer need our votes to win any future elections in Nigeria.
Sadly enough the criminal master strategist have successfully embarked upon the state capture of the Nigerian nation, and there is really nothing the helpless and vulnerable citizens of Nigeria can do about it.
Therefore if you have any means of helping the downtrodden citizens around your vicinity, kindly do so, for the sake of humanity, and God will always be happy with you for doing that.

Exactly

People are going through a lot

One of my former employee called me sometime weeks ago

Na Yoruba Muslim girl

She was going through stuffs

She called greeting me later said Oga she's going through a lot

I had to send her something immediately

That's how many people are crying

Personally people s welfare is my concern now

The much I can carry I try to carry

You guys should just go and thank God

A childhood friend was killed with several other girls in a university female hostel

She was First class Brain

May Ada's soul continue rest in peace 🙏 Amen 💖

Productivity of a state is judged by GDP and GDP per capita... Go to school and stop embarrassing yourself

FAAC +IGR is share of national cake not productivity don't they teach you people Basic economics

It's no more a surprise why APC tanked our economy

Don't mind them

They will be producing nonsense statistic from there behind

Nice one

That's what Barth Nnaji did by building Aba ipp

If not that lots of antagonism, and bureaucractic bottle necks delayed the project until Gov Oti came on board


Enugu state present Governor already partnered with investors to deliver steady 24hrs power by 2025

Snowx:
Imagine before 24hrs everything is over

As in eh

Here time, money, resources, energy etc on complete waste

See we have a serious long way to go

No be same air we dey breadth

The whole thing calls for retrospection

lexy2014:
what is the highlighted in your post?

who is "your boss the midget that left Nigeria with 97% debt to revenue, almost zero reserves, backlog of outstanding forex, unprecedented printing of the Naira and on the brink of bankrupty and collapse" that I should go to Ikenne to ask?

how does that answer the questions I asked you which are based on your thoughts in the post below?


1. what has tinubu offered nigerians so far?

2. what are the "bold decisions" and how have they set nigeria on the right path?

3. where is it in the constitution that pain is necessary?

4. is tinubu going through the pain that you say is necessary?

5. how am I an "obidient"?

6. can you show me the discussion we had regarding that?

7. What is the big picture?

Hahaha 🤣😂

You are really routing the guy

I am waiting for his reply

At least he claimed his IQ is super

America is a country founded on bigotry.


It is where you hear things like homeschooling, defunding public education, the right for civilians to posses military grade weapons in 2024, anti-abortion propaganda and the rest.

Kamala lost because she is a woman of black heritage.


Any pure white male with her resume would have won before 9pm.

Kudos to Western Europe for investing in a developed and quality population.

Upe

Doesn't negate the fact that
America is still the greatest country on Earth

Even Western Europe relys heavily on its alliance and covering from the US

Actually the level of the decadence now is too much


The level of married women sleeping around now is all time alarming high

The video portrayed it

It goes all round even the ones claiming church


It will take serious self control and person that respects themselves

Moreover with the decadence in the society

Many guys too don't respect boundaries
They purse married women a lot
Woman wey no get self control or woman used to sleeping around when single

Will fall yakata

We are indeed in a very strange times

I recently went to a distant relatives function and a lot of women were discussing how many married women they know are sleeping around

It's a very big worrying situation
