On the flip side, one person’s Father’s side that doesn’t care is another person’s Mother’s side that cares. There is a puzzle here.

It seems like you are stress eating due to anxiety caused by your broke condition. Calm your mind and you should be alright before you discourage your helper by looking more well-fed than someone who needs help

They are not hard to trace, talking about those who overstayed. The vast majority of them crossed the border into Canada to seek asylum. They just used the US visa to gain entry into Canada.

Stockholm syndrome. Read it up.

This life!

You never appreciate what you have until you lose it. For them its about the “small” things that come with freedom.

[quote author=Liverpoolfc post=70156029][/quote]quote I packed out of omachi when i stray bullet hit my bed from the roof.I showed it to my neighbours and they said it was normal. she is right. Till date, i still imagine how/where the gun was shot.

What you may be talking about is either a spent bullet that found its way into your room, not one with damaging impact.
It must have dropped down, unless it was a ricochet or shot from upstairs a nearby building.

A stray bullet came in through your roof and narrowly missed your head while you were sleeping.
Nobody seems to have thought about this but the angle seems to be wrong to me. Was the shooter on top of your roof pointing his gun downwards or is your bed that tall?

@Op, you may feel that you’ve done the right thing but have you? Think about it, the maid is still going to leave that house. That is very clear.
You had the opportunity to be of help to the girl but you just used the situation as an excuse to leave that environment. Yet you claim self righteousness.
When you were asked to get rid of her, you could have helped her out in a humane manner using your own discretion. You could have been her angel.
Now the girl will still likely be given that brutal treatment you were avoiding.

A young lady identified as Chioma Nelly Nwawere, has revealed why a guy blocked her on Facebook. According to the pretty lady from Imo state, the guy in a bid to woo her - bombarded her with different unwarranted questions. Even when she answered the questions, he continued with his "interrogation".

The lady also narrated how the guy asked her about her complexion and her gap teeth despite going through her pictures. That was she she told him to go for medical checkup.

This probably annoyed the guy who took out his anger by blocking her on Facebook.

Reminds me of Jamb Question by Simi. The guy was simply lost in love but she should have handled him with tact instead of bruising his ego. That’s how some ladies carelessly lose serious suitors IMO.

@Op, I didn’t see the most important facility among the ones you listed above.
Is there any functional and well equipped hospital/ medical facility within easy reach? That’s what makes the difference IMO

Same Spain that was using tomatoes for festival when the price of tomatoes was high in Nigeria. Now its their turn with oranges. What goes around truly comes around!

Best comment so far. End of discussion IMO.

Facts on Tithing
by Pastor Ken Lawson

1. The English word “tithe” as well as its Hebrew-Greek equivalents “ma`aser” and “apodekatoo” means a tenth.

2. Many Christian churches preach tithing as a means of supporting the work of the Lord today. There are many variations of this theme. Some pay the local church one tenth of their income after taxes and bills are paid; some pay before. Others demand tithing on unemployment, inheritance, gifts, tax refunds, social security and even gambling winnings. The tithing issue has caused a great deal of strife and division in our churches over the years.

3. The most well known passage on tithing comes from the Old Testament book of Malachi 3:7-10. This Scripture has given rise to the practice of “Storehouse Tithing.” Simply stated, the congregation is exhorted from the pulpit to channel all of their Christian giving through the local church (storehouse). If they wish to give to a Christian organization, radio or television broadcast, etc., it must go through their denominational machinery in order for the local church to get “credit.” Also the pastor and elders often must make the determination if the cause supported by the giver is “worthy.”

4. This use of the Malachi passage is a good example of Scripture being taken out of its historical and dispensational context. “This whole nation” in verse 9 is the backslidden nation of Israel, NOT the present day church (Malachi 1:1; 3:6). They were under the law of Moses as a system of conditional blessing. Believers today are not under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14). As such we have already been blessed by God with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) and are under a system of unconditional blessing with grace on the throne (Romans 5:21).

5. This should put an end to the common charge that believers who don’t tithe are “robbing God” and will be “cursed with a curse.” The storehouse mentioned in verse 10 is not a local church but a storage bin or silo in the Jewish temple where the grain from the Hebrew’s tithes was stored (2 Chronicles 31:4-12).

6. Under the law only agricultural products were tithed. They included grain, fruit, and livestock. Only products produced within the boundaries of the land of Israel were to be tithed. Jews living in Gentile lands were exempt (Leviticus 27:30-34).

7. Others exempt from the tithing law included the hired hands, fishermen, miners, lumber workers, construction workers, soldiers, weavers, potters, manufacturers, merchants, government workers, and priests. In short, all who were not farmers were exempt.

8. A farmer with only 9 cattle did not tithe because the law specified the “tenth which passeth under the rod.” Likewise a farmer with 19 sheep paid only 1 sheep to the Lord’s tithe.

9. The Jewish farmers in the land could redeem (buy back) the tithes of their crops with a penalty of one fifth. In other words, if a farmer wishes to keep his tithe of grain worth $1,000, he could pay the cash equivalent of $1,200 (Leviticus 27:31).

10. Livestock could not be brought back nor could the farmer exchange a good animal for a bad one or vice versa. Any attempt to substitute any other animal other than the tenth which passed under the rod would be penalized by the farmer forfeiting both the tenth and its substitute (Leviticus 27:33).

11. God ordained the Levites to be the ones to whom the tithe was paid (Numbers 18:21). They were one of the 12 tribes of Israel to whom no inheritance was given in the land. The Lord Himself and the tithes of the children of Israel was their inheritance. It was used for the service of the tabernacle (later the temple) (Numbers 18:20-28).

12. It was unlawful for anyone outside of the tribe of Levi to receive the tithe, such as prophets, preachers, kings or evangelists.

13. The Levites paid one tenth of their tithes to the high priest. Not all Levites were priests but only the sons of Aaron. The priests did not tithe.

14. The Lord Jesus Christ did not ask for or receive a tithe for support of His ministry. Being of the tribe of Judah (not Levi) He could not without breaking the law (Hebrews 7:14; Revelation 5:5).

15. Neither Peter (not of the tribe of Levi) nor Paul (of the tribe of Benjamin) could receive tithes for the support of their ministries.

16. Even the Jews do not practice tithing today because there are no Levites, priests, or temple worship in Jerusalem. Jewish rabbis know biblical law well enough to know that tithing under the present circumstances is unlawful. According to them, when the temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem with a consecrated altar with priests and Levites officiating, all Jews living within the biblical tithing zones will tithe.

17. Some Christian ministries today continue to support tithing, using the argument that it predates Moses and the law. But this reasoning is not valid, for the Sabbath also predates the giving of the law (Exodus 16:23-29) and yet it is not binding on God’s people today (Romans 14:5,6; Galatians 4:9,10; Colossians 2:16,17).

18. Abraham gave tithes to Melchisedec, king of Salem, but this was the spoils of war, not the legalistic tithe of the land which Moses commanded. Also, God did not command the tithe, Abraham chose to give it of his own free will (Genesis 14:17-23; Hebrews 7:1-10).

19. The only other scriptural reference to tithing before Moses is Jacob. Again there is no command to tithe. In fact Jacob puts up numerous conditions to be met before he will pay the tithe to the Lord (Genesis 28:20-22).

20. The biblical references which address the tithing issues are: Genesis 14:20; 28:22; Leviticus 27:30-32; Numbers 18:20-28; Deuteronomy 12:6,11,17; 14:22,23,28; 26:12; 2 Chronicles 31:5,6,12; Amos 4:4; Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42; 18:12; Hebrews 7:5-9.

21. Paul the apostle to the Gentiles for this present dispensation of Grace does not mention tithing but says a great deal about Christian giving. Romans 15:25,26; 1 Corinthians 9:7-14; 16:1-3; 2 Corinthians chapters 8 & 9; Galatians 6:6-10; Philippians 4:10-19; 1 Timothy 5:9-18.

22. WHO is to give to the Lord’s work? The Christian! He gives systematically, sacrificially, and joyfully. TO WHOM does he give? To Christ! FOR WHAT does he give? For the cause of Christ! NOT to a man or to a church, not for gain, but for the Gospel.

Notes:
According to Deuteronomy 14:22,23,28; 26:12; and Amos 4:4, the tithe was only given every three years

Nobody seems to be seeing this. Badoo attacks started in Ibeshe before spreading all over Ikorodu. This latest attack was in Owode. For those that know that axis, it's clear that the Badoo cancer is spreading from Ikorodu into main Lagos.

I think she's on transition from a male body to a female one. She's doing ok but she can be blazing hot if she cuts back on the exercises. My honest submission.

"My husband of blessed memory...."

Who is to blame: the man, the wife, the ex or the wife's mum?

Skynet, Genysis and the terminator comes to mind. Killer cyborgs may already be in our midst.

It's a long snake, I agree but it's nowhere near the 9ft the OP is claiming. See opportunity dey waste here. I need some cobra/mamba snake skin leather shoes. Lalastic, how far?

It seems this Anja woman may be Mary Slessor reincarnated. Same mission and same geographical area of operation. Such an angel of mercy, not blinded by race, tribalism or religion. The kingdom of heaven is for people like her. What a pity the churchy people and our so called men of God seem to be looking the other way instead of carrying out this basic christian duty.

I was annoyed when I received a message purportedly from the Central Bank about my BVN. I have heard stories and even listened to a radio program where the OAP called the telephone number given, only for the "CBN official" to start asking for sensitive card details. This is how these guys clean out one's bank account. Please see a snapshot of our exchange. Did I go too far with my response?

Definitely not real. That picture was taken inside someone's compound. The bike man is stationary and even posing for the shot. Nothing some people won't do to create internet traffic.

Nigerians and superstition. Anything mysterious is quickly explained away as spiritual but even the masquerade dress has a human being inside it. A post mortem result will very likely show that the man had been poisoned.

They are on nairaland, reading your comments on this topic.

Why do I get the feeling that this is simply sensational news to push unperceptive and easily excitable people to buy the OP's hand sanitizers?

Thinking about it, we shouldn't blame the villagers. We may say they are illiterates and call them names but they may know something we don't. This ebola story may not just be exactly what we are told.

The beauty of Nigerian women!

IMO the topic should be 'Top 10 signs of a desperate WOMAN'. Moreover naija babes like desperate guys because they are easier to milk dry.
