Let me use your Logic. "Two can play that Game" abi? So Did Christ ask you to masturbate? I mean he didn't say we shouldn't right? Did Christ ask You not to beat your wife/girlfriend? Should you? see the disciples of Christ and the early believers were called "CHRISTIANS" for a Reason. They Did what Christ Did and they didn't do what he didn't do! You CANNOT come up with a practice because you feel it's right. The word of God is filled with instructions, blueprints, structures. You make sure your behavior fits in the instructions given by God instead you and your pastors try to bend the Bible to fit your lifestyles and what you THINK is right! Christmas is not a celebration of Christ please do your research!

Did the early Christians celebrate their birthdays and wedding anniversaries to begin with? It is easy to claim the word Christ like yet you shy from the truth staring at you.

I think this is an area many of the church get it wrong, for they call Jesus God, in the sense of God the Father, not in that of God the Son, or God the Word.

And that was also the mistake that the Jewish scribes and Pharisees made, as Jesus just saying that He was the Son of God, alone, was considered as a blasphemous offence them, as they misinterpreted it to be Him making Himself equal to God. As it was said:

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. John 5:17-18(KJV)

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. John 10:33(KJV)

Therefore they taught that just by saying that He was the Son of God, meant the same thing as Him being God the Father or His equal, but Jesus let them know that their interpretation of that comment of His was wrong, as He answered them saying:

Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? John 10:34-36(KJV)

So that Jesus is God in the sense of being the Son of God doesn't mean that He's God the Father, or even His equal, for Jesus Himself had said to His disciples:

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. John 14:28

Therefore someone that Jesus said was greater than Him, cannot at the same time be His equal, but just as it was to those humans who were call gods because the word of God that came unto them, so also was Jesus called God because He's the Son(Word) of God, and proceeded from God.

And the difference between God the Father, and God the Son(Word), can be distinguished from this saying of John the brother of James concerning Jesus:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

So God the Word, which had not yet become the begotten Son of God at the time, was with God ,the yet to be Father, in the beginning.

I love you for this. This explanation just melt my heart and enlighten my view

Lol, I was about saying this too. Let her contribute half while the man also do the same but then again she will say he isn't man enough to be requesting anything from her like it's written in the Bible that a man shall kill himself just to please his lady.

They forget that a woman is a helpmate

Rilwayne001:
@SEUN Osewa, I see you have been going all about twitter trying really hard to play down the possible positive effect that we can eventually gained from the naira redesign.

But here is another PoV as I await your reply:

1). So many Nigerians have stacked Naira notes in their closets and are cut up with this policy of the CBN. There is a rush by ignorant Nigerians to convert their Naira to Dollars. Naira is at all time low against dollar and it's going to go even lower. For example a man converts #10m to 12,500 USD at the current exchange rate. It's easier to keep it with himself than to deposit in a Domiciliary account with a DMB because of the stringent policies around FX cash deposits. He hopes that by December when the new Nigeria is floated, he'd have his FX converted back to Naira from the Aboki guys he bought his USD from.

2)The Aboki man who sold FX to his customers at exorbitant rate excitedly goes to the DMB to deposit the millions of Naira he got the the FX swap he did. He knows he is getting richer in geometric proportion by this new policy by the CBN. He awaits the printing of the new Naira notes so as to reconvert the Naira he has in his account today USD and continue making more money.

3). All customers who deposited their Naira notes, those depositing and those who would be depositing are eagerly waiting for December 15. The DMBs are also waiting for the said date. Meanwhile there is a cashless policy waiting to hit all Nigerians by January 2023. On December 15th, customers would rush to the DMBs for new notes so as to withdraw as much as they can before January when the cashless policy would be effected 100%. The DMBS would rush to the central bank branches to withdraw new notes. The branches would go to the H/O for new notes. H/O would release just a little to branches based on cash management policies. CBN Branches would release in trinkets to DMB branches and tell them to go manage their customers. DMBs would revert back to their customers based on the low available new cash notes. There would be slight panicking as customers who deposited old naira notes cannot retrieve same notes from the DMBs anymore because of unavailability. Remember, digital money and paper money is still money and so customers would be advised to use electronic channels to make payments.

4) The Aboki guy who kept millions of Naira is also a victim of the shortage of new notes and so he cannot buy back FX from his customers who were hoping to return the ones the got earlier ones the new notes are in place. Aboki begins to panick as well. Those who have FX and need naira notes begin to sell their FX to people who have naira whether old or new just to cash in before January. In doing so, USD begins to crash as rapidly as it rose. Much of the FX becomes deposited in DMBs as carrying the raw cash isn't useful anymore. The CBN is happy because there is more FX in the banking system to give for Forms A, M and Q. Naira begins to gain rapidly against the dollar.

5). In January, cashless policy takes effect. So even if the CBN makes available more new notes to DMBs, customers cannot withdraw above the stipulated across-the-counter limit to avoid heavy charges. Customers are forced to use electronic payments, FX policy and transfer and withdrawal is so stiff that swapping FX and Naira is no more a gain. USD parallel and black market prices crash all the way down to CBN rate. Inflation based on importation of goods and services is checked as Naira becomes strong against dollar. People who have physical dollars would lose. There would be limited access to naira notes as electronic transfers become prevalent. Enaira purchases also become more as Nigerians look for most seamless methods to do payments. By June, whoever takes over power would have a soft landing as this policy by the CBN has controlled a whole lot of inflation, corruption and economic degradation.

6). If you have Naira notes stashed with you, return them back to the bank through your account. Don't try to play smart trying to beat the system, you may become the architect of your own loss. Your 12,500 USD may fall from #10,000,000 to #5,000,000 in June, 2023. Meanwhile if you put same #10,000,000 in Treasury Bills at the current 14.5%, you should be gaining about #725,000 at the same period.

Let's try and look at the bright side of things, Nigeria shall be great by God's grace

Hmmmm

seunayantokun:
No contract is binding if it violates rights of Nigerians as enshrined in the constitution of their contry. It is not your fault to say Nigerians are lazy if you some people have put you at a spot to do a dummy job which requires no free mind or really independent study.

I just told you the honest truth without sentiment.

Munzy14:
A woman is the centre of the marriage..She keeps home.

If she fails, the home has failed to stand.

That is not an excuse.

Romanoff:
They are not centred around women, women just show more interest.

Their messages are more of women than men

seunayantokun:
Of course you're working for your money. So, tell us the strong case they have?

You willing signed a contract by getting an MTN sim. Laziness will not let some Nigerians read the leaflet attached to the sim

BigYash:
They are all the same.. If she is not virgin or her body count pass 2.. Just know that you are investing in what is not sure.. BigRisk

That is not true

Romanoff:
A lot of people don't know what marriage is about.

Societal pressure force people who know next to nothing about marriage to marry.

Some men think it's only to provide, have sex and have a woman to birth and raise kids that marriage is all about.

Many women get married just to be Mrs. No preparation for the journey ahead.

I remember before I got married, I attended marriage seminar, read books, listened to messages from seasoned counsellors like Bimbo Odukoya, marriage counsellors from my church and pastors whose marriages I admire.

These days, how many young people will even read books about marriage and it's preparation or listen to messages or go to seminars for intending couples?

Why are most marriage seminar centred more on women than men

seunayantokun:
N500 tax to MTN justifiable?
Wherever disconnection is practised abroad can never be compared to Nigeria where there is no adequate and correct laws in place to protect people and private businesses.
Do you know MTN once told us per second billing was never possible? They are here to exploit and steal because they know anything goes in Nigeria. That's roguery, not honest business. What MTN can do is tell their customers who want to keep their lines to use it by spending at least N500 recharge on it annually. Are the cost of maintenance not factored into billing already? What kind of trash is that? If fraud occurs as a result of disconnection, how do you defend that in court?

In court they have a strong case. If you feel MTN Nigeria is satisfying your needs, it is advisable you switch to another service provider. Mind you, MTN isn't the only operator who has that policy

Fut9ure:
Okay

Take for example I buy my sim card when I was in Nigeria...after I don link everything with nin, bvn and email and bank alert

Then before this empty hen law come out like this I don already travel to Canada


Wetin you say make I do

I nor go fit put the sim card for phone for Canada make he dey active na

Recycling of SIM card is not restricted to Nigeria alone, it is something some countries practice. To answer your question, MTN Nigeria said you should pay a fee of N500 to retain your line. Don't forget they incurr some cost to host it. N500 yearly fee will not be a bad idea. You can issue a standing order for them to deduct N500 yearly to keep your line

Powersurge:
I don't share your view. Think about it from a business perspective. It requires maintenance to keep a line viable. It makes no sense to keep maintaining a line that has no activity. Besides, they are not sharing your information. And by recycling the line, it has no security link to you afterwards as your personal data would have been stripped from the SIM. Nobody will be able to reach or defraud you in anyway through that said line.

That is not true

ppogba:
That is why I said the sense in the whole exercise should be tested in the court of law. Remember, the law will not consider sentiment from both parties and will judge as it deem necessary. That is why we have so many issues in Nigeria especially with government agencies and corporate bodies doing " what they feel is right and convinient for them.
I may be just a lay man but I feel cancelling the number outright will not be a bad idea. After all 1,2,3 up to a trillion has not been exhausted.

It is doable especially if you consider the fact that it is this same MTN that told us that per second billing is not possible. Here we are today.

Don't forget you signed a contract immediately you insert your SIM card on your phone. Whatever agreement they post is binding on the customers who willing opt in for their service delivery.

situations:
my Question is if I purchase MTN data from a vendor but not directly from mtn does that count as revenue generation ? Or the gono deactivate sim I only use MTN for data not calls

No it doesn't

bobbiiee:
If half of their subscribers boycott their services for a month. Wisdom will dawn on them.

I don't understand why organizations arrive at policies without using their brain. My mum wanted to do transfer from 1st bank to another bank. She said they won't give her audience because of the sum she's transferring. I asked her for the sum, she said 82k, I told her I will show them vawulence at counter.

Getting there, the teller she approached said, ma, you can use your phone to transfer it. I screamed at him and every teller there.

Expecting 80 year old woman to be doing her bank transfers online is wickedness. Is it every youth that has a smartphone? Is it everyone that has data? How can you tell me that you attend to customers transferring 200k and above?

They brought out transfer form. Yes, the problem was not caused by those tellers. The useless bank came up with stupid and unfriendly policies.

Let us boycott mtn for a month and see who wins.

MTN Nigeria is right this time

internationalman:
Don't forget to check body counts of your partner so that ex boyfriends/girlfriends don't start resurfacing in future to destroy your marriage.

You are in deep soup if you can't fûck like his/her ex..

As for Ladies, they can forgive you for not being rich but non have been been able to forgive a man for not being able to fûck yet.

This assertion of yours is not true. As a matter of fact, it is stereotypical since not all human being behave or think alike

KingUka:
Easy buy service allows a lot of people buy phones and pay later it's just that Nigerians as usual are trying to abuse the system by defrauding other unsuspecting Nigerians so this is not easy buys fault it's a case of an attempted scam

We are not ready for credit purchase as seen in other climes

Hebrews is our official language East of the Niger that's why we go to Jerusalem on Pilgrimage.

Hebrew must be there for equity and fairness.

How many Igbos understand Hebrew language?

Nazgul:
This is a case of misplaced priorities. All these banning isn't important, who go fúck go still fúck. They should focus more on improving the learning conditions of their students. Punish lecturers who threaten female students with an "F" if they don't have sex with them, go online so that if as a lecturer you can't make it to the classroom you can lecture your students wherever you are and give them assignments which they'll do and submit online.

American and UK universities don't have all these dressing restrictions yet they're among the best and most advanced universities in the world. What's wrong with us the African Continent.

We have morals in Africa

I know Anambra. I have been there. My Dad worked with a Federal Parastatal in Awka until his retirement this year. But I may not know everywhere there.


Tell me what he has done so that I can verify as I have told you what giant strides tinubu has done in lagos and I am sure you have verified.

You go there yourself instead of relying on the media.

MeaslesMumpsRub:
Lagos is Bad yet People from All over Africa and especially from the East come here for greener pastures. Because lagos has debt of 10 naira don't mean they don't have investments worth 50 naira. LAGoS DOES NoT OWE HER WORKERS UNLIKE MAny STATES IN NIGERIA.

THE port in lagos works because of the contribution of good leaders. There are 3 other ports in Nigeria states and one is also in a former federal capital( capital)

Lagos before Tinubu and after tinubu are not same. Truthful people who are old enough will attest to it.

Jagaban started LAWMA, LASTMA. HE BUILT TOLL GATE that generate money for lagos daily.


Wetin Obi do for Anambra wey go make us give am President. Your canndicate Mr Obi is a notoriously incompetent politician as evidenced by his time as Governor. He is a political Prostitute always jumping ship once he is done benefiting from the party. When he left office, Performances of students in WAEC and NECO dropped immediately and drastically. I don't know why but his legacies are not lasting.

BAT lagos pays free NEcO for all residents.ets of lagos irrespective of Trive or religion since al.ost 23 years and the legacy stands till today.

Ask yourself who was the governor when he left? Did he became a godfather like your pay master? Why not visit Anambra instead of been lazy . Stop relying on half baked journalist who collects brown envelope

trutharena:
Reno is running an issue based campaign.

Peter Obituary got no track record. He is a mediocre as a governor and trying to lie his way to aso rock by promising things he never achieved as governor.

Peter Obi has track record. As an economist he pointed one of the measurement of standard of living .He used Human Capital Development Index as a benchmark, which is mostly used globally. ( Health, Education and Standard of living were is major variables used in his analysis). In terms of Education and Health Anambra, Anambra got it right as at that time. While other states were deficient in these areas, Anambra state was ahead of others.

jesusjnr2020:
You can choose what you want to believe but the Truth is that speaking in tongues has not changed from what it used to be at the time because it's the same Spirit that they had who gave them the utterance, that's still on Earth so up til this very day, He's still giving the same kind of utterance. I am a personal witness to that fact.

Every utterance He gives has a meaning and purpose but it may not always be understood by man, however speaking gibberish nonsense in the name of speaking in tongues, that's tongues without the utterance of the Spirit is equal to vanity and has no meaning or profit. I was doing that out of ignorance like many christians do today at some point including when I was born again because I was misled by false teachings in the church, but the difference between us and such ones is that we were honest enough to ourselves and to God to stop and wait for the real thing like the apostles did.

Mr man you haven't answered the question? Some Christians just know God in one dimension
