Very sad.
Very solid titles in Obosi. He made us laugh over the years. May his family be comforted.

MEEVEET:
No route can make 20% of their running cost not to talk about being profitable

Those trains are just loan wasted on feel good projects

Who says?

So rail transportation has no benefit to the economy?

Do you know the following:

Rail enhances transportation and trade opportunities
- Infrastructure development
- Job creation
- Industrialization
- Regional development
- It has less interruption on its route
- It is beneficial to agriculture transportation
- It is beneficial to the mining industry
- For tourism, it makes great to see urban and rural areas, beauty and nature
- It is beneficial in the manufacturing industry

How else can African nations finance rail transportation, especially in the face of opening the transport sector? It is by loans.

Do they make profit? Yes, but maybe not too much.

Why are loans not repaid? Ask your leaders to stop stealing public funds.

O

Politics aside, Mrs. Tinubu is very correct on this for the first time.

The choice is yours on what you do. However as a young lady, if you dress shabbily and your breasts pop out in the public, a mad man pulls them, who fault would you call that?

soccerlite:
None of the Bible characters you mentioned are pastors

Compare them to Paul, Timothy, Stephen and others

And the op didn't say they will not, but "Hard" to make heaven, which is a fact

Genesis 20:7, God warns Abimelek:
“Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. ..“

Abraham was a Prophet. Can you read a little please and not jump into baseless arguments?

damosky12:
It's ridiculous how you either twist the scripture to post a narrative that suits you or so ignorant of that God's word teaches.

That portion of scripture you quoted doesn't prove that God has a persona vendetta with wealthy people. Through scriptures, God had wealthy men.

Abraham, His friend, was wealthy.
Jacob was wealthy.
Joseph was wealthy.
David was wealthy.
Solomon was wealthy.
Job was wealthy.
Many many of God's people in the Old Testament were wealthy.

In the new testament, Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy.
Erastus was wealthy.
Barnabas was wealthy.
Many in the early church were rich!


Abusing a Bible verse to push a silly narrative would not suffice.

You can't build a doctrine on just one single passage, more so one single phrase which is misunderstood...



Mark 10:17-25
[17]And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
[18]And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
[19]Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
[20]And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
[21]Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
[22]And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
[23]And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that TRUST IN RICHES to enter into the kingdom of God!
[25]It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.



Apparently, the clarification here is what Mark supplies us. Jesus wasn't talking about the average rich man anywhere, but a rich man that trusts in His riches instead of trusting in God.

And that is a no-brainer. To trust in riches is to not trust in God. The Epistles also echo the same thought to rich Christians.

1 Timothy 6:17-18
[17]Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
[18]That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;


God is not against wealth. Wealth is a useful tool for His work on earth OBVIOUSLY. What is against God is to allow money to take God's place. That's what Jesus and His Apostles addressed.

shelve the OP's Bible confusion

Great response!

yemmit90:
The people you are asking to wake up and demand for proper leadership are not different from the same leaders. They will do the same or even worse if giving opportunity.

It’s a very terrible situation.
Infact the reason the youths complain is that they have not found the opportunities to get into positions.
Africans are in deep trouble.

Two years already spent. Another five years for transition. Thereafter he can run in the elections to be supervised by himself, using the army and some gullible citizens. He recently increased salaries as a show of his “sincerity” and was applauded by the people.

The young man has already shown himself as a student of despotic African leaders. He has shown his ability to be the President for life. He has shown his intention to be reckoned among the sit tight leaders.

Africans need to wake up and demand proper leadership. Africans should no longer surrender their lives to such horrible leaders, whose only plan is to loot, kill and destroy.

The man shamelessly talked of 24 years. So they knew that they wasted time and looted the state resources for 24 years, until LP came to power.

Unfortunately for PDP, Alex Otti and Labour Party are putting up very strong performances everywhere in the state. Sentimental comments will not remove LP from power in the state. Now we see a much better Ava and Umuahia. Developments are taking place in every part of the state. PDP can keep their apology to themselves.

Great feat!

He never knew that he had a date with history. He wanted his team to win the cup, even if it was by one goal. However God had other plans to announce him to the world.

Congratulations to Ademola Lukman.

Hm

Why is he in that small room with the red rug on the floor?

CJStarz:
Anambra/Abia marriage?
I bet you it won't last.
We know how that of OUK and his wife trended.
Me sef wey marry Abian na God Hand I dey so.
My brother will soon come to his senses.

Everybody and dem life.
No worry about them. Hold your own side. God dey!

simpleseyi:
The guy made the video from the psychiatric hospital. But I wonder why doctors give smart phones to patients still undergoing treatment at the psychiatric hospitals

Remember that he went to visit you and people like you in the psychiatric hospital. He was given the smart phone to warn others outside like you of the dangers of blindly supporting those who have through their dangerous policies since last year, ruined the country. Are you responding well to your treatment there, by the way?

kedeojo:
Really Obi is not desperate and he almost set the country in flame through is religious campaign. You people will think the way you reason is what other reason too. Did you not listen to yes daddy and up till now Papa Oyedipo didn't fault it. It will hurt Obi as long presidency is concern.

Stop disgracing yourself and pretending like an ostrich please.

Mention just one of the candidates who did not play the ethnic and political card. Your party, APC ran on a Muslim/Muslim ticket and won. The reason was that they had majority Muslims and wanted to take advantage. Did they succeed or not? Did Atiku not make that his famous religious speech in Kaduna? Why do you young men have such short memories and fickle minds?

Did Tinubu not play the ethnic card completely? What’s the meaning of Emi lo kan or Yoruba lo kan? Did the same not play out in the north? Tinubu was not desperate when he shouted emi lo kan? He was not desperate when he claimed to have been preparing for the Presidency all his life and that was his clearest opportunity? How old are you by the way?

Truthfully others do not reason the way you reason. If you reasoned the same way, you’d not make such blind comment.

At last, Nigerians have been led into abject poverty, misery and hardship by APC.

Get a little shame please.

brainpulse:
Aburr and Obi destroyed LP due to corruption and anti party activities. He should be excommunicated from Nigeria politics.

Peter Obi destroyed APGA
Peter Obi destroyed PDP
Peter Obi destroyed LP
Peter Obi is a destroyer everywhere he goes.

And yet you live in abject poverty, perpetrated by the same man that you support. No be swear be that?

After the deposition of SLS, his bossom friend the late Herbert Wigwe, sent him a private jet to pick him and his family up and bring them to Lagos. They did not have to carry anything along. The late Wigwe provided them accomodation and comfort. SLS admitted this at the service of songs for Wigwe. Unfortunately Wigwe is not there to witness the return of his bossom friend. His own children will benefit in Kano, if they ever have any need and while SLS remains the Emir.

El Rufai pressed all the buttons that he could. He tried to get Ganduje to change his mind, but Ganduje was determined to remove the same man who was the trigger that removed PDP from power in Kano state.

Probably Bayern himself was a willing tool in the political game played by Ganduje. Unfortunately, he has been tagged “dethroned”. No man has monopoly of power for life.

If you feel like Putin, Lukashenko, Mugabe or other sit tight African leaders, one day God himself will remove you and you must account to him.

SLS is back in the position where he originally was, courtesy of good relationship with Kwakwanso. Who knows tomorrow. For now he enjoys the benefit of the relationship.

In life make good relationships. They are bridges to move you forward and to greater heights.

immortalcrown:
I don't know who is right and who is wrong in the battle. But I am sure that selfishness, greed and ego are the cause of the battle.

If such a thing happens in the Igbo land, the narrative will be that Igbo people hate one another. Bigots will say that the Igbo should not lead Nigeria since the Igbo peopl cannot lead themselves.

If it happens among pastors or Bishops, the narrative will be that Christianity is a white man's weapon to destroy Africa. Religious bigots will say that Christianity is a scam.

What else is there to say bro?

FuckYeyeMods:
I attended Kano durbar during last Eid.. it was so dry and not colourful.
That's when I realised to which extent Ganjuda destroy the beautiful old tradition of Kano.
The New dethrone King is a good man with beautiful heart.

Let’s pray for peace, love and unity in Kano state.

Padipadi:
I know the meaning of what he said.
He's just throwing tantrums to invite people to his poor blog.

What about those ge posted below?
The News Shock You 😲
Whenever We Are Online, We Expose bad news

Thanks for understanding.

Sorry, I did not see his earlier posts.

The protesters are APC supporters, I assume.

When Ganduje dethroned and banished SLS the same day to Nassarawa, why did they not protest? Even those in Kano who wanted to make some noise, were controlled.

Ganduje tried to make mockery of the over 1000 years of Kano legacy by breaking the kingdom, because of politics. Why not blame Ganduje for the problem?

Exemplary leadership!

Hm

Golan007:
Oga, no vex but you should get a treadmill.

Free range enables you enjoy yourself more. You see people doing the same thing and you are pushed to get better. Tread mills are good, but I prefer the free range.

By the way, does Rotimi Amaechi reside in Lagos?

Padipadi:
The news no shock me. Stop and these childish comments of yours to drive traffic. You sef go kpsin one day and ya people won't be happy seeing ya bad news.

He simply said “just imagine”.
Ask people to interpret their languages to you, for better understanding.

elhakiimed:
Staged as hell. 100 percent. Follow it up. Anything to keep their Christian stooges locked in.

Those soldiers praying ruined it
And those girls must have been eating all available hamas food ration to be that chubby after months in captivity.

Hamas may be equally as sick as the idf leadership but theyre not sick and stupid, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted this long.

As usual lies, manipulation, and misinformation: the ultimate weapon of the Christian evangelism.

“Families of several female Israeli soldiers being held hostage in Gaza released a video of their abduction during the Oct. 7 attacks led by the Islamist militant group Hamas”.

Stop disgracing yourself. That video was real time as it happened on October 7th. Do you want to claim that no one was killed on the day by Hamas militants? Or they went there to attend the film festival too?

Ignorance is no excuse bro.

No reasonable person, no matter the race, tribe or religion, is happy over such killing on both sides. However nothing justifies such destruction

desiredhome:
Get out of here ......olodo Jeti jeti.......
I actually thought I was talking with reasonable person, agberos everywhere.....

That’s what I thought too, until he revealed his ignorant self. Na ode!

vanitybutiwanti:
shut up, the lawmakers gave a reason for defection, its up to the court to determine if the reason given is valid or not, you guys just come to tge Internet to talk about things you know absolutely nothing about

So you could not even comment without insult? And I thought that I was discussing with a reasonable fellow, without knowing that you are such a lowlife. Ignorance is not looking, reading and asking for information before making idiotic comments. Please get proper schooling.

vanitybutiwanti:
An appeal judgement affirming the authenticity of the 27 lawmakers will be made public on the 29th of May, after the pronouncement, the lawmakers will continue making laws and there's nothing the governor can do about it, they are not disadvantaged at all, even if the case gets to the supreme Court, non of them will lose their seats.

An appeal judgement in a matter that the Supreme Court long ago in 2012 made a pronouncement upon? The Supreme Court in that case upheld the constitutional provision. Can the appeal court go against the Supreme Court? Are you current at all?

Did he consent to treat Sanusi poorly when he was deposed by Ganduje?

Fantastic!

vanitybutiwanti:
it's not going to be an easy fight but the LGA Chairmen have resolved not to leave their councils, in fact they told wike to leave the fight to them, they are very capable, those guys campaigned for fubara in their respective LGAs, anybody that will be appointed CTC Chairman will not operate from the council and in the coming month, a higher court will throw out the judgement issued by the state high court.

Wike himself can only scream for now. His hands are tied presently. Fubara controls everything. That’s business gone wrong between the two of them.

The now 25 lawmakers are heavily disadvantaged. The law weighs heavily against them, as their defection is clearly against the constitution. It’s just a matter of time and the matter is laid to rest. The governor has completely sidelined them all, including the LG chairmen. Since there are no more political solutions, the LG chairmen, who are under the control of state governors, would have no say in the matter.

For now we all wait and hear from the courts.
