 Christianity Etc › Re: How I Started Praying/speaking In Tongues. (my Experience) by djseanjohn77: 12:06pm On Jul 14, 2024 |
David0002:. You are right: The part you have not explained is that part where the people around heard them speak in their own native tongue. Act 2: 7 Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8 How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia The people of Parthians, Medes, Elamites etc heard them speak in their native tongues. What it means is, supposing you are Yoruba speaking praying, and suddenly you are able to pray in Igbo, Ghanaian Ewe language, Egun language (badagry) etc, language that you have no previous understanding of. That was the pure incident that happened in Act 2, it is not a reference to the type of speaking in tongue seen in Nigeria. However, i have once seen a real speaking in tongue, where a known Minister (stack illiterate) in the early 90s was asked by God to go and minister in the East. He was afraid at first but eventually he summoned courage and went with a team of brothers hoping one of them would be an interpreter. As God would have it, as he opened his mouth to start ministering, he spoke in fluent Igbo language until he finished delivering his message. Afterwards, they approached him thinking he was an Igbo pastor, but he could not even say a normal greeting in Igbo. Not that he could speak English or pidgin fluently, he was a stack illiterate. Act 2: 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome, 11both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” |

mrvitalis:Bring the same TINAPA to Lagos and you will understand it will flourish. Any tourist destination in Nigeria outside Lagos, Abuja - it will mostly fail. In international bulletins, other regions in Nigeria are regarded as unsafe. That's why Lagos receives millions of visitors every year, and most of them never get to step foot outside Lagos, except Abuja. |

Along that axis, there are several FG domain....the inner roads on the other side of the road (Amuwo, Oluti, Alakija (has more FG domain too). If you see Ayo maintain did his best in the areas his LG covered. Another hindering factor was the LCDA covered but are unapproved by the FG. So, whatever the LGs get in Lagos State are divided amongst the 47 LGs/LCDAs in Lagos. Lagos has 20 LGs and 27 LCDAs. I doubt if you even know the 27 by heart. |

Zxcvbnmghtr:That is not new - Fela sang suffer suffer in the 70s, it was not a joke, he didn't sing it for fun but due to the prevailing poverty. Nigeria was never a better place.... the difference was, less population at the time, and no social media to relay grievances... Rat Race, Majek Fashek, Ras Kimono etc in the 80s etc People have always been hungry and without a voice. That quote above was enormous in that same year - compared to what an average person collects or civil servants. Nigeria's minimum wage in 1981 was N125/month only...that's 1500 pa. dollar rate was about N 0.58 / N0.6. And average person uses bicycle to go to work. A beetle car around 4k in the 80s, and average person can never save up to afford it in 10 years. If an average person was able to save N20 a month, it would take them about 20 years to be able to afford a beetle that year. More so, it was difficult for an average worker to save a dime from their salary then. |

obonujoker:From these same guys that probably have not been to 5 countries of the world. They most likely live in the same Lagos they are rating. With 2-10 employees, they are probably the only 3 people. Aside Abuja, which other States in Nigeria can stand beside Lagos? Even with their demarketing strategies since few years now, the population of Lagos keeps growing. Why should any sensible person now pay attention to them, they are probably hustling for their daily bread, paid to provide statistic against Lagos, something that is irrelevant to the progress of Lagos other than social media banter and abuse that it will create from people that left their cities to make a living in the same Lagos. Ask them to go back to their liveable States, rather than the population reduce, they will further bring their cousins, nephews etc. The delusionary ones are still masturbating over Lagos being developed with Nigeria oil money. Cocoa developed most part of Nigeria until 1970. What was the infrastructural status of Lagos in1991 - Lekki does not exist as the whole of Maroko was demolished in 1990 by Raji Rasaki. SW had the first schools, first storey building, First Radio/TV Station, First School, First Railway etc. By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000. Verifiable Facts. Apapa port was established in 1913 and the construction of 1st 4 deep water berths started in 1921. Lagos Airport was initially built during 2nd World War (1945). Carter bridge was built in 1901. Lagos - Abeokuta railway was opened in 1898, got to Ibadan in 1902. All the above existed before discovery of OIL, but some delusionary people will say Lagos was bult with oil revenue when the enabling and thriving economy had existed before Nigeria, since the 15th century when the Portuguese first landed in Lagos. As far back as 1860s, Lagos already got electricity, telephone, post office, Schools, City Hall, recreation centres, Cathedrals, public & private hospitals, tarred roads, business districts and international trade centres etc. As you can see, many of the developments in Lagos occurred b4 amalgamation and formation of Nigeria. So, Lagos was majorly developed by the locals and colonial masters, using revenues generated from Lagos and other parts of Western Region. Mention one thing of significant that is owned by Federal Govt in Lagos aside military barracks....? Reason why i don't bother me arguing with some people on here is, they are either Genz's who depend mainly on the false info provided them by their elder brothers who themselves relocated to Lagos in the late 90s after removal of FCT from Lagos in 1991. One of the key reasons most companies cited their headquarters in logos was security, environment, liveability.... recently, on the Eko Atlantic, the US are building their biggest embassies in Lagos, why not in Abuja? Lagos has stability, can easily be protected from uprising or resurrection.

AnonPoet:Mr. Ignorance, if you were informed, you would know the idea didn't just start today or in 2018. There is almost no new thing that anybody wants to bring to the table in Nigeria, all plans and ideas are all in place - What we lack is management, implementation and prioritization. Nigeria has a robust master plan that cut across all the federation, but we lack the willpower to implement or execute them. The idea of student loan was not a new thing neither, i has always been on the table, but no willpower to implement. 5 Likes |

| Foreign Affairs › Kenya: Nationwide Demonstrations Against Tax Hikes; Tear Gas, Water Cannons Fire by djseanjohn77(op): 9:09am On Jun 24, 2024 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkrPcpZNlLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKmaTnqLL54 Kenyan president offers talks to protesters on tax bill President William Ruto says he is open to dialogue on Finance Bill 2024, as protest against tax hikes continues for 6th consecutive day Protests have erupted in parts of Kenya, with hundreds detained by police as citizens rejected planned tax hikes in the East African nation already grappling with escalating living costs. Civil society groups said that at least 283 people have been arrested since Tuesday as protests flared over the proposed hikes. The government faced backlash in the capital Nairobi on Tuesday over the controversial bill and was forced to amend it after dozens of demonstrators rallied outside the country’s parliament building. Among the taxes suspended was a 16% value-added tax on bread and a 2.5% tax on motor vehicles, a statement from Kenya’s presidency said. A proposed increase in mobile money transfer fees was also shelved along with taxes on vegetable oil. Additionally, levies on locally produced products, such as diapers and sanitary towels, have been dropped. However, some Kenyans were not pleased with the changes and have called for the bill to be scrapped completely. Demonstrators protest against proposed tax hikes in a finance bill that is due to be tabled in parliament in Nairobi, Kenya, Tuesday, June 18, 2024. Civil society groups say that despite the dozens of arrests, demonstrations and a planned sit-down outside the parliament buildings will continue. (AP Photo/Andrew Kasuku) RELATED ARTICLE Kenyan government scraps elements of controversial tax bill amid protests “We are rejecting the whole thing,” Kenyan John Wills Njoroge wrote on social media platform X. “We didn’t ask for amendments. We asked for the withdrawal of the entire bill,” he added. Videos posted on social media Wednesday showed a group of protesters marching in the rain in Mombassa to express their displeasure over the bill. In another location, protesters could be heard chanting: “Reject, not amend.” Earlier on Wednesday, CNN affiliate NTV shared footage of police dispersing Mombasa protesters with teargas. It’s not immediately known whether any arrests have been made in Mombasa, Kenya’s second-largest city. Amnesty International’s Kenya office said it was “deeply outraged by the arbitrary arrest of peaceful protestors” in Nairobi on Tuesday.

wildernessVoice:The prices of crude is fixed internationally, for any country to pay less, their country needs to subsidise the rate. Crude is sold per barrel, and it has a cost, cost of refining, marketing, logistics etc increases the end product value......to sell cheaper, the country's government has to subsidies it. Qatar is a country of 2.5 million people only, less than 2 LGA in Lagos (Surulere and Ikeja)... but Qatar sells it's refined product for 2.1 Qatari riyal (that's 852.6, QAR to naira is 406). For an average sedan, you will need 500QAR monthly for Transportaion to and from work, that's over 200k naira. |
| Christianity Etc › Re: There Is No God, God Should Stop Helping Me- Nigeria Man Says by djseanjohn77: 6:49am On Jun 23, 2024 |
Unclebayo:Sadly, God does not need to prove anything to him to validate His existence....He doesn't work like that. Blaming God for your outcome in life or how things have turned is a result of the deception that has plagued Christendom, where we have been made to believe prosperity depends on how you can pray and fast. Nobody in the bible fasted for prosperity's sake, in the times of Moses, Elijah, Jesus, there were countless poor people in the land. The widow that gave all she had - and Jesus recogned that she was the highest giver, didn't receive any special blessing in monetary term for doing that. Everything was done for heaven's sake. Sometimes, poverty is as a result of the negligence, nonchalant attitude of the past generations in a family, some had the opportunity but misused it, others didn't take chances. In other cases, some have fast-tracked their future successes, and the parents or grandparents have used up all that has been assigned to their coming generation. Other factors are limitation of environment or exposure, or education, family, knowledge, or lack of opportunities. However, in good environment, amidst opportunities, amidst plenty, one can still be poor, if you lack the necessary tools, skills, exposure, education. That's why we have people in Western world that are still poor, homeless and destitute, and depressed. Some took wrong financial decision. There are many Nigerians who travelled out for greener pasture but only end up in crime and prison. Some are homeless, jobless, poorer than they were, they can't even call home. Some are worse than their fellow counterpart they left behind even after 20 years etc. All these are actions of man and a resultant of his decisions. It has nothing to do with God, He has made everything for our use, the ability to put them to good use lies in us, our failure to take opportunities is not His. The people that God blessed in the bible that we often referenced, it's like 1 in a thousand...there are countless of such unrecorded scenarios that God never came through for, it does not limited His existence, He has never ever forced anyone to like Him or know Him or worship Him. But all man will return to Him someday, and give account, if He then 'often play a role in your decision, in your blessings, yet does not play same role in other people's lives, isn't that in itself unfair? The wickedness of man, from man to man is why some of these opportunities are limited to us. Your pastors is in constant competition with you, so are your brothers, friends, etc. |

steeltrust:https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country I do not know if you are just overly ignorant of the happening in your environment or you are just blindly trying to project US as heaven that it is clearly not. Over 20k children get missing every year, and they are never found. Justice system has dropped to below 50%, that is, you can get killed and justice will never be served. Petty crimes like burgling and shoplifting are making thousands of businesses close up, especially in New York - They will soon start to spread to other States as the businesses are migrating, so are the crimes. Apart from the advantage that the green card gives when travelling, it is not an haven for starters or low-income earners as your life is often in danger at home, taking a walk, going to the mall, hanging out, road rage during driving etc. I don't know where you hail from in Nigeria, but i can categorically tell you i feel safer in Nigeria than elsewhere i have ever been to. I still fly into Nigeria every year to spend 1 good month, been doing that in the last 10 years except for 2020. It is overwhelming that is why they never get reported, plus, the media of USA purported to have freedom is actually a faux, they key into the US agenda, as we can see in the case of Russia vs Ukraine war - they are selling lies pushed by their politicians to the taxpayers.

The nation will be largely affected as inflation will hit on another level, price of food will go more up, much of the money will not even be able to cater for their needs again. However, the private sectors cannot cope, they will be forced to slice down manpower if at all they will increase salaries or better still fold up or overly decide not to pay - and watch NLC do nothing about it. How many times have you ever seen NLC or TUC fight or strike for private sector workers? For private schools to be able to pay their teachers, they will need to increase school fees, the traders who send their wards to these schools too will have to increase profits to beable to meet up.

LegendHero:The largest employers of labour in Nigeria is still the FG, most States do not have 2k workers on their payroll. The FG of Nigeria has more assets than many States put together in Nigeria, if those assets are handed over to some States, it will crumble, and the workers will be laid off. These assets are scattered across the country. What Nigeria needs is decentralisation, let every arm of government -Fed and State For example, the US Fed spent 6 trillion last year 2023 even though the budgeted was 4 trillion...the closest State was sparsely at 220 billion (Washington DC) - The Fed still had to spend more than all the States put together. We need complete power dissolution and state autonomy. Some States in Nigeria are parasites. And i think some other states with resources will poorly manage it, they will completely disenfranchise some of their regions without anything. That is where we will realise that the tribal sentiment in Nigeria is far from distant tribes, it is deeply rooted in States level among brothers of same States. More clashes and ethnic conflict will arise, this i have seen. |
