While wike is still disturbing fubara

Thank you Mr. Alex Otti.
When the righteous rule, there’s peace, there’s joy.

Sonyboom:
Don't mind them Mr Senseless as there was no insecurity poverty misery n hardship in Nigeria before Tinubu became president.

You'd probably think all Nigerians have been eating hopeless obirodent ipob tears like yours since we can not afford food.

The foolish ringing the the head of many of you obidient ipob senior that of lunatics I swear

Oh surely there was before he became the President. Do not forget that the nation was in much better condition, until he, along with you his supporters introduced the man who led before him in 2015. Nigerians could buy a bag of rice at 8K. Today a bag of rice is @80k and yet you shamelessly call people lunatics?

Do you know that it is only lunatics who do not know what happens around them? Why not call those who scream ebi n pawa lunatics? Are do they lie? Do you know that only lunatics eat from dustbins and do not care? Do you know that only lunatics call normal people lunatics?
Can you tell us that you are not a lunatic?

anonymous1759:
Get outta my mention you’ve nothing reasonable to say . When Buhari built the second Niger bridge did it add anything to your life ?

And this one will add something to your life? Gerraway!
No sense at all.

immortalcrown:
Try to reason properly. A couple can always kneel down before a father-in-law for prayer on every visit to the father in law. In fact, a man and a woman who are not married to each other can kneel before an elder for a prayer. My comment says that nothing signifies marriage introduction in the pictures.

“Paul Okoye & Ifeoma Share Photos From Their Traditional Marriage”.

That’s the heading. If there’s no marriage, how can you have a father - in - law? Okoye shared pictures and we saw the couple kneeling. Were they supposed to be sleeping while the old man was praying?

I no sure say you reason am well.

anonymous1759:
Game changer highway Ask OBIDIENTs they know that’s why they’re angry 😡. their bitterness can’t stop BAT from becoming president. People of south south know who their real enemies are right now.

Game changer? Really?
Has it changed the insecurity situation?
Has it changed the poverty, misery and hardship situation?
Has it changed the price of foodstuff to what the citizens, including you, can afford?

immortalcrown:
I wish them well but nothing signifies marriage introduction in the pictures.

Please sir, did you look well at the pictures? You may wish to take another look. If you do, you will find them kneeling and old man, apparently the lady’s father or relation, laying hands on them.

Exquisite. Absolutely beautiful, that young woman.
However I never support divorce!

Ebibedike1:
You are wrong. The man from the the side that specialise in supplying powder, dragged the innocent guy from the other side to do it. This is what the SA police told me personally. Lol

After doing it, the innocent man became guilty of what offenses again please?

MEEVEET:
Which resources do you have in comparative advantage?

Nigeria has a comparative advantage in various sectors:

human resources
petroleum
gas
palm oil
vegetable oil
cocoa
tyres
agricultural products
telecommunications
construction
manufacturing
fertilizers
other natural resources, mined and stolen.

Why is Nigeria called a regional power? With such resources, how can you call Nigeria a poor country?

MEEVEET:
Yes a very poor country, few resources per capita, low revenue per capita

We just have potential but presently very poor

Do you think that with all the resources available Nigeria is a poor country?

MEEVEET:
Why don't you borrow money to buy your dream car?

America has more debt yes but lower debt to revenue ratio

Yes poor countries should focuse on building their revenues to get larger then they can invest in infrastructure

Do you want to call Nigeria a poor country?

MEEVEET:
Those countries built them with revenue... You can't borrow yo subsidies na that's recipe for inflation... In fact thats what brought us here

It's not bad to build rail for your people n even make it free of charge... But if you borrow to do it then you are foolish

Again, do you not that making it free of charge for a short while could be designed to encourage citizens to use rail transportation?

And who says it is cheap in the first place? Have you travelled by train in Lagos?

MEEVEET:
Africans finance rail by loan reason Africans are poor

If your revenue is higher than Recurrent expenditure and debt servicing... By all means build rail, skyscraper and the rest

But your revenue can't even service yout debt and you think it makes sense increasing debt servicing for something that won't increase revenue?

Should your country remain underdeveloped because your revenue cannot match your debt servicing?

With all the resources available in African countries, why do they borrow?

And by the way, the American are the world’s heaviest borrowers, do you know?

What is wrong with borrowing to fund critical infrastructures like railway that open up whole communities and promote trade please?

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.
