Enough of the intrigues Obaseki.
Make hay while the sun shines lest your supporters get disenchanted.

Meanwhile, I still can't stop laughing after seeing the pix below.
Politics is indeed the biggest biz in Nigeria.

My guy they depicted the culture and dresses of women of ancient times!

So you let's see those who used to dress the way your Pastors are demanding?

You see what I mean? Nothing about her dressing at all.

That is all we are told she did, as far as her appearance was concerned.

Kobojunkie:
Did you know that nothing of what is detailed in the Bible Jezebel's informs us of how the woman even dressed?

I bet you had a copy of the book, my book of Bible stories, as a child to inform your mind of what to think of Jezebel...

Maximus69:
Show me wear women of old dress like mourners the way your Pastors are demanding today?

Maximus69:
Jesus never said anything was wrong in the way women of his time adorn themselves Sir!

Paul wrote a letter to Timothy to help the women in the first century Christian congregation to know that they must remain in subjection to their husbands NOT becoming arrogant all because of the things they're putting on!

Note how he said this at 1Timothy 2:12, women are not permitted to speak in the congregation, because they must remain submissive to the men! 1Corinthians 11:3

Maximus69:
Jesus made Paul an Apostle for the nations, so if you don't believe (trust) in Paul's admonition, Jesus don't know you!

The letter Paul wrote simply means faithful women must not depend on their outward appearance, they must remain submissive to their husbands.

Most women often look down on their husbands because such men can't afford all the things Paul mentioned, so they are not keeping the faith if they should disrespect their husbands because their husbands can't afford all that.
So Paul is not saying any of those things is sin because faithful women of old put on all those things!

You can't do that without following the examples set by God's people of ancient times, what Kumuyi and his cohorts are doing now is called man-made doctrines and traditions NOT God's way!

Maximus69:
My guy Rebecca (Isaac's wife) wear bracelets and nose ring, are you saying she's not a woman of faith? Genesis 24:30

Kobojunkie:
You misconstrued what Paul said in that verse.
But I chose to focus on Jesus Christ as I said because after all, Jesus Christ is our one and only TEACHER, or is He not?

Kobojunkie:
There is society and then there is that which Jesus has called on you to do. So, which one is your focus? The traditions and rules of men that embody societal beliefs OR the commandments of Jesus Christ, the one whom you have devoted your life to?

Note: That Jesus explained why you cannot have both.

Kobojunkie:
Those are not the commandments of Jesus Christ... those are Paul's words which you misconstrue.

But I would rather we focus on the words of Jesus Christ, the one who we follow and whose commandments we are called to obey. So, where does Jesus Christ tell you that it matters what women wear and that it is indeed your place to tell a woman how to dress?

Maximus69:
Kumuyi pikin them!

What concerns a Christian in how someone
NOT your mother,
NOT your wife,
NOT your sister,
NOT your daughter
Choose to dress herself?

Kobojunkie:
Why can't she?
Is it your place to tell her how to dress? If your answer is yes, please show us where in the Bible Jesus Christ, the Son of God, tells you this?

Proximo73:
it's not about kumuyi or what is happening in deeper life, It's about the mindset of the African people spurn by a faulty African traditional beliefs with regards to the way women should dress.
It's true that some women do not dress modestly, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Churches like deeper life who see women dressing immodestly as a problem are sending wrong signal to the society.
A woman who dressed immodestly is raped the next thing people will ask is, why did she dress that way?
They begin to blame her rather than blaming the rapist.

Proximo73:
you made a very valid point my brother
no, I won't!
Not just only kumuyi but virtually all the Nigerian pastors.
They have been promoting faulty African traditions in their churches in the form of doctrines

A woman will wear short skirt to church they will prevent her from entering church saying she will seduce men or cause rape.
But a man put on short knicker to church he is holy

Proximo73:
nothing!

I also wish that rapists should also see that nothing is also wrong for women not to dress like deeper life and allow them to be

Proximo73:
I know a lot of people will come out to crucify me for saying this truth but i have to say it.
The teachings and methods of the likes of pastor kumuyi have contributed to rape mentality among men in our society. Actually, the faulty mentality came from the African traditional beliefs that positioned women to be inferior before men by telling women that there must be a particular way you dress as a woman for you to avoid being raped or sexually harassed, that is the same thing kumuyi replicated as a law in his deeper life church.

Though pastor kumuyi in his mind had good intentions for his doctrines which he may thought that it was one of the measures to curtail rape in the society, he teaches that women should not dress to expose certain parts of their body like their legs by putting on skirts that should not be shorter beyond their knees, and tops that should cover their upper regions up to their necks, arms with long sleeves and baggy appearance without being fitted, that dressing this way will make the lady not to miss rapture at the end.

The question is, at the long run does these kind of dressing among women curtail rape in our society?
The answer is absolutely no!

Now, most men who raped women when you ask them why did you do it? One excuse they will give is, they did it because their victim did not cover their body as the likes of kumuyi and the African tradition teaches

Court declines to make forfeiture order on Saraki's properties permanent

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, Monday, declined to make permanent, the interim order it made forfeiting former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki’s properties in Lagos to the Federal Government.

The interim order was made at the instance of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The EFCC had through its counsel, Nnaemeka Omewa, prayed the court to make permanent, the order forfeiting Senator Saraki’s properties at No. 17 and 17B Macdonald Street, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The EFCC had contended that the properties were acquired illegally with funds belonging to Kwara State Government.

However, Senator Saraki through his counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, SAN, raised a preliminary objection in opposition to the suit.

The application was argued on March 5, 2020, and the court adjourned for ruling.

In his ruling, yesterday, trial judge, Justice Hassan Liman held that the court has jurisdiction to entertain the suit.

The court further held that the evidence before the court was to the effect that the properties in issue were acquired by Senator Saraki with a loan from a bank (Name withheld) and not with illegal or unlawful funds or funds belonging to Kwara State Government.

The court further held that there was no evidence before the court linking the loan repayments made by Senator Saraki to funds belonging to Kwara State Government, therefore, there was no basis for ordering the forfeiture of the properties.

The court held that in view of the inconsistencies and contradictions in the affidavits deposed to and relied upon by EFCC, it could not make a forfeiture order in favour of EFCC, hence, the proper course of action would be to order the witnesses of the EFCC to give oral evidence for the purpose of clarifying the said contradictions.

The court accordingly adjourned further hearing in the matter to September 29, 2020, for EFCC to call its witnesses.

PDP should be number 1 on INEC de register list of political parties.

There was a twist on Thursday when the candidate of the Liberation Movement (LM) in the November 16, 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa, Vijah Opuama turned around and told the state governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja that he no longer needs the deputy governor of the state, Senator Lawrence Oborawharievwo Ewhrudjakpo to testify for him as a witness before the tribunal.
