Religion / Re: Man Donates His Family House To Christ Embassy, Family About To Be Thrown Out by edicolove: 9:48pm On Mar 02, 2021 |
Righteousness2: I am begining to think you are not a genuine preacher for saying he can do anything he likes with it. So a man should give his family house and put his family on the street for God? Which God is that? Only mammon does such a thing, not Yahweh or Jesus Christ Some of you preach and say the right things until it comes to supporting false pastors and then you change If you are truly of God, uphold truth to the end please. 3 Likes |

HigherEd: In decades to come, a Christian should be expecting the rapture and coming of Christ, not how he will take over the world. Christians are not going to take over the world. Its the antichrist that will actually take over the world for a while before Christ returns and kicks him out. But by then, no one will need your universities as Christ establishes his 100 year reign. Funny how some of you who say you are Christians only think of the future of humanity in terms of worldly attainments. Dont you guys read your bible? |
Religion / God Is Your Father, Not Your Grandpa! by edicolove: 2:01am On Feb 25, 2018 |
Dear Child of God, God is your father, not your grandpa! You pastor or GO is not closer to God than you or any other Christian. Your pastor or GO does not have more of God's power than you or any other Christian. Your pastor does not have more anointing or Holy Spirit than you or any other Christian. There is no junior or senior Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works with you as much as you yield to Him. He doesn't work with you because of the title you bare. The body of Christ has only one head, Christ Jesus. The body of Christ has only one father, Christ Jesus. God is your father, not your grandpa! Walk with Him. Yield to HIm. Talk to Him. He loves you with an everlasting love. He wants to fellowship with you personally, not through an intermediary. Not through a prophet or pastor or GO. There is only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5, Matthew 23:9, Matthew 23:1-20 |
Politics / Re: Why Nigerians Ridicule Nigeria by edicolove: 8:01pm On Aug 15, 2012 |
I beg to disagree with this article. I strongly believe that the issues facing Nigeria are more fundamental than most people realise. According to the article, Nigerians ridicule Nigeria because the country has done nothing for them. But he forgot that there was a time and a generation that this country did a lot for. But that generation never gave back just like this generation. There was a time when if you get into a university, you are given the best of meals. You were treated like a king. You were give a car loan as soon as you graduate. Some of us even tasted a bit of it in our primary school days. But that generation turned and pooed on this country. They plied good smooth roads. Insecurity wasn't such a big problem. We didn't have fences around our houses when we were very small. We had flowers. But that generation bastardised a country that treated them wonderfully. Nigerians back then didn't even need visas to travel. But those who enjoyed those facilities are the same people that plundered the country. Most of them are within the ages of 50 and 70. That is why I insist that the problem is something that is far more fundamental. I think what we have is what is called a failure of cultures is sociology. I will try and do a piece on it. The simple way to put it is, a kingdom divided against itself, will not stand. When you commit a project or an enterprise to 2 or more fellows who have completely different visions of their future and completely different value systems, what will result is a plunder. Each man will try to harvest the system and they will not give anything back. The end product will be chaos and destruction. |

All the first Christians were Jews, not Romans and they certainly weren't politicians like the pope and cardinals. Emperor constantine was the first pope. He merged the church and state and made christianity a state religion. Prior to him, christians were hunted and persecuted all over europe. No Jewish christian could have become a pope when the romans hated, hunted and almost annihilated the Jews. Read your history man, not just your cathcism. |

There are so many people in Nigeria that don't want the power reform to work. This was part of what OBJ faced when he started his own power reform. 90 percent of Nigeria's power problem is because of sabotage. You can even see many comment here of people taking sides with the PHCN workers against the FG. They are talking like the workers actually deserve any kobo.

Politics / Re: Northern Muslim Elders To Asari Dokubo: Go And Read Your History by edicolove: 11:08am On Aug 14, 2012 |
This is my humble take: 1. I know the Ibos feel betrayed by the Yorubas and Ijaws but to continue to fight ourselves is only making the core north have the dominance. We are only playing into their hands. 2. I think the Yorubas should drop their pride on this and admit that the decision to side with the North against Biafra is what we are all suffering today. If we had kept to the Aburi accord, we would have been a different country today. 3. The continous disagreement between the Ibos and Yorubas is costing us all. Even the middle belt has opted out of the North. The plateau state governor did not even attend the last Northern govs meeting. 4. The Niger Delta has realised that it was a mistake to side with the North against Biafra. A big mistake. The Ibos truly can be domineering in terms of coming into your place to owns businesses, but Ibo communities easily blend in with their host communities and even learn the language fast. They don't come together as Ibos to fight their host except when they are being targeted like you have in the North. Ibos and Yorubas have lived together peacefully in the south west for ages. 5. Having said the above, I make bold to say that the day the Ibos, Yorubas, Southern Minorities agree on federalism, the core North will keep shut. Especially now that the middle belt are extracting themselves from the mix. 6. I will say this, though I know it might be controversial. I think the muslim Yorubas are the ones aligning mostly with the North. They seem to allow their religion blind them into believing that the core north are their brothers. But unfortunately, the core North don't even regard them as true muslims. In many mosques in the North, Yoruba muslims pray separately from the hausa muslims. I even observed something funny somewhere in Lagos. Some of my. Yoruba Muslim guys once complained that the hausa aboki refused to join them in their normal prayer. He would either pray on his own in a secluded corner or wait for everyone to finish praying before going into the mosque to do his own praying. I thought they were kidding until I actually observe him doing it, myself. 7. Finally, anyone who says they can stand aside in a war has no clue. Even if you don't ask for it, it will get to you. Many communities were sacked during the civil war. They didn't do anything. It is what war brings. So the only way to secure ourselves is to come together and fight. Only a mad cow infested northern army will go to war against a united southern Nigeria. They won't survive one month at most. But a divided southern Nigeria is going to be a completely different kettle of fish. But believe me too, a united south east and south south is also a formidable group. A combination of the will, the population and the oil is a good bet anyday 5 Likes |
Politics / Prof Bart Nnaji Live Twitter Stream On Power Reforms by edicolove: 2:41pm On Aug 13, 2012 |
The Prof is firing on all cylinders on twitter. On point prof! @ProfBartNnaji: Shiroro Hydro Power plant is generating 550MW out of the designed capacity of 600MW and has not been shut down." "@ProfBartNnaji: Shiroro is a major contributor to the unprecedented quantum of 4,237MW plus 70MW spinning reserve which has been generated since Aug 7, 2012" "@ProfBartNnaji: We are very much aware that there are some elements viciously opposed to improved electricity supply" "@ProfBartNnaji: and are working in cahoots with forces benefitting from the corrupt and decadent order" "@ProfBartNnaji: which has for decades kept the nation down, impeded economic growth and adversely affected social life" "@ProfBartNnaji: These unpatriotic and subversive elements actively and secretly promote the business interests of a notorious cabal in the power sector." "@ProfBartNnaji: The Nigerian people should watch out for these saboteurs working against improved power supply." "@ProfBartNnaji: The Federal Government remains resolute in the determination to end forever the electricity blight." "@ProfBartNnaji: In recognition of their vital role in national dev, Government approved a 50% increase in salary for the PHCN staff since June of 2011" "@ProfBartNnaji: Government also set aside for them a percentage of shares of the 17 PHCN successor companies being privatized" "@ProfBartNnaji: converted some 10,000 casual workers to permanent staff, and paid the staff N57billion for the monetized benefits denied them since 2003" "@ProfBartNnaji: Government has also magnanimously agreed to pay 25% of their salary as part of the severance in the wake of the privatization of PHCN assets" "@ProfBartNnaji: even though they did not make any contributions to the pension scheme up to July 1, 2004, when the Pension Reform Act came into effect." "@ProfBartNnaji: Despite the failure of both the PHCN mgt & workers to contribute 7.5% each of the workers’ salary to the pension scheme as required by law" "@ProfBartNnaji: Government has offered to pay 15% of each PHCN employee’s salary as part of the retirement benefits." "@ProfBartNnaji: I would like to assure Nigerians that the worst days are over as far as power is concerned. The current improvement is not irreversible(I think he meant reversible. Should be a typo)." "@ProfBartNnaji: The programme for power development in Nigeria to international standards is very much on course" I think he is responding to rumour making the rounds that shiroro has been shut down because of PHCN strike. It is obvious, some Nigerians are not happy with the progress. Very sad! |

kama1210: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BILLS WE'LL PAY. Hope they will cut down high cost of Power Bill. It will be good if we have more Light wit subsidized bill. Control your power usage. That's the whole idea. That is what is done all over the world. Use it when you need it. If you go to the UK, you will be amazed how peeps manage power. I have seen boys discussing inside darkness just to save cost. But back here, if there is power, the fridge runs for 24 hours, you plug the iron and just leave it on while you are attending to other things. The tv is permanently on. All the ACs are working in a 3 bedroom flat when you are at home and you don't even remember to put off your appliances when you go out. The culture needs to change. I save cost on my power and pay less bills now even with this new tarrif because of the way I control my power usage. That's the beauty of prepaid meters. 2 Likes |

Food / Re: Gala Is Made Of 20% Cassava Flour by edicolove: 1:08pm On Aug 13, 2012 |
Kobojunkie: Nigerian climate is not favourable to wheat farming unlike casava. Casava literarily grows everywhere an is easy to cultivate and harvest. In addition, the vast majority of Nigerian farmers, particularly in the south, are already into casava farming. So this just gives them a reason to increase their capacity and income. Pricing is a function of competition. The reason the cement market is having a problem of pricing is because competition is low. With casava farming, competition is high and no one will want their casava to rot away because of high prices. If the ministry of agric can sustain this, it has the capacity to revolutionise Nigeria. Already since this year, casava farming has gone viral in many states in south Nigeria. And its 20% casava, not 40%. I don't think the real idea is about making it mandatory. That's not the point. The point is that it will reduce cost for bakers and also reduce capital flight. This is very important for the economy 3 Likes |

infotrust: This is what the journalists should have asked. It is their civic duty to investigate and provide society with balanced information. For a society to function properly, all the different components must function. One of the big problem with Nigeria is that many of the very important components of modern societies don't function. These include the Press, NGOs and the Judiciary. The Nigerian press is busy indulging in partisan politics. It is important we educate Nigerians on the workings of society. It is called participatory government. I believe all these projects should be classified into four groups. 1. Those that have been awarded but work not started yet. 2. Projects where work have started but are at an early stage or at an advanced stage. 3. Those that have been completed but but have not been commisioned. Building infrastructure is not the only thing sometimes. Some projects require qualified and fully trained personel before they can take off. Others require interoperability with other agencies both in the government and private sectors. 4. Projects that have been commisioned and functional It is important that our journalists step up their trade. The government has given her statement. The ball is in the court of the Nigerian press. |

Religion / Re: Re-must I Pay Tithe To Get To Heaven? by edicolove: 5:18pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
You put yourself in a little predicament when you ask this on a public forum because 70% of the response you will get will be posts from people who have no clue on the subject but will be trying to make fun of you. Having said that, here it is. Tithing is a good thing but is in no way compulsory or mandatory. It is funny that tithing is always preached from Malachi in the old testament. The new testament has no instruction on tithing because it is not compulsory. This same new testament has instructions on every other ordinance. Breaking of bread, baptism, prayer, giving of alms, church attendance, etc are all spelt out in the new testament but not tithing. Tithing was only mentioned 3 times in the new testament. 2 of those times, it was not even in a positive light. The third one is in hebrews 4, where paul was teaching about the priesthood of Jesus and used Abraham's tithe to melchizedek to explain the priesthood of Jesus. He never said we should do it. Abraham only had one record of tithing and it was not even from his property. There was no other record of tithing till moses got the law. Even when tithing was instituted in the law, there were 3 different types of tithing to different sets of people. We are in the last days where emphasis is being placed on mammon so you hear a lot of wrong messages. The only criteria to make heaven is to repent and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you will receive the righteousness of God and go on to live a holy life for God. There is no where in the new testament where the bible says tithing is required for God to bless you. The bible says you have been blessed already if you are born again. if you allow fear to limit you, then that's your problem. Malachi says you are cursed because in the old testament it was a different ball game. You cannot curse a new testament believer. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. You cannot curse a new creation. Financial blessings are not dependent on tithing else no unbeliever will be rich. Bill Gates does not tithe, neither does many of the richest men in the world. But they are great givers and they are rich materially. Financial blessings are dependent on the works of your hands. If you learn, understand and operate good financial and investment principles, you will be rich. Sure there is also the opportunity factor and Gods favour. What God promises is that he will keep you and guide you but if you don't invest, you will not prosper even if you give 100% of your income. The bible even says clearly, let him that does not work, let him not eat. |
Islam for Muslims / Re: American Pastor Joins Muslims In Ramadan Fast by edicolove: 2:18pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
The guy is not a serious pastor. Many christians fast sometimes as much as seven days without food. Millions of Christians fast for 3 days without food at least once a year. If the so called pastor has not fasted this much before, he certainly is not a true pastor. Most Christians really don't consider the muslims kind of fast as fasting because if I have to eat that much before 6am in the morning, I don't think I will feel like am fasting at all. That is not to say the muslims fasting is wrong, just saying we Christians view fasting differently and actually in a more stringent way. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on fasting but these American pastors just fulfil the prophecy of Jesus that in the last days, false prophets shall arise. 5 Likes |

Those who keep saying GEJ should do this or do that talk like only the president can single handedly change the constitution of Nigeria. Even OBJ as tough as he is could not just amend the constitution the way he liked. The biggest factor in changing the constitution is the NASS and those MF will never do it. They are only interested in their pockets. Now I see why clark is really speaking up. As a sitting president you cannot be the one to take a sectional stance. It will backfire. It has to come from leaders of thought who are not directly in government. Maybe the ND just need to stoke the fire a bit more, then we see were it goes |
