factsandfigures:
Buhari is the most misunderstood president. The media has always portrays him as being stoic, archaic and fanatical. But this few days I am beginning to see a him as a man of strong character with a kind mind. He displayed absolute trust in his deputy. The problem with Buhari is the evil Cabal that are capitalising on his ill health to perpetrate evil

ipreach:
Many people have argued much on this subject on and off social media especially on Nairaland.com, that's why i decided to bring to here


1. Because God commands it:

"A tithe of all you produce is the Lord's and it is Holy." (Leviticus 27:30)


2. Because Jesus commands it:

"Yes, you should tithe, and you shouldn't leave the more important things undone either." (Matthew 23:23) Tithing was the only thing Jesus commended the Pharisees for doing right!



3. Because tithing shows that God has first place in your life:

"The purpose of tithing is to teach you to put God first place in your life". (Deuteronomy 14:23 (LB) If God does not have first priority in your finances, He isn't really first in your life and your witness for Christ is false!


4. Because it reminds you that everything you have was given to you by God:
"Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you the ability to produce wealth." (Deuteronomy 8:18) Rather than feeling "I'm giving God 10% of my money," realize God is letting you keep 90% of HIS money. Without God's help, you would have nothing.


5. Because tithing expresses your gratitude to God for helping you earn income:
"How can I repay the Lord for all His goodness to me?" (Ps. 116:12) Here's the answer: "Each of you should bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you." (Deuteronomy 16:17)


6. Because refusing to tithe is stealing from God:

If you don't tithe, God says you are using money that rightfully belongs to Him. "God says: "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing me!' But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' God says: 'In tithes and offerings. Bring your whole tithe to My house.'" (Malachi 3:8-19) (God has a right to whatever He asks for from you.)


7. Because tithing gives God a chance to prove to you that He exists and wants to bless you:

"Bring me your tithe. Test me in this," says the Lord, "and see if I won't throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it, I will prevent pests from devouring your crops and the vines in your fields will be protected from plagues."

This is one of the most amazing promises in the Bible. God actually offers you a challenge. He says "I dare you!" Start tithing and watch what happens!" He not only promises to bless you with more, but He also promises to protect what you already have! In the Bible, tithing is the only way given that you can prove God exists. Start tithing and get ready for God's amazing blessings!


8. Because it is essential to spiritual growth:
"Just as you grow in everything in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in earnestness and love...see that you also grow in the grace of giving." Many Christians remain spiritual babies because they disobey God by not tithing.


9. Because tithing shows you really love God!
"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:21) Wherever you put your money is where your affection is going to be. Every time you give back to God you are drawn closer to Him. You may say you love God, but 2 Corinthians 8:8 says that you’re giving tests the sincerity of your love. You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving.
Jesus said, "If you really love me, do what I command." (John 14:15)


10. Because tithing is an investment for eternity:
Jesus told us to "Store up treasures in heaven." (Matthew 6:19-20) How do you do that? By investing your money in helping people get to heaven! Most of the things you spend your money on will not even last for ten years, much less last for eternity.

Hmmn... 10k for Lagos Corpers.

A bricklayer earns about 3k/day and works for 6 days (excluding Sundays)

3k/day X 5 days X 4 weeks
3 X 5 X 4
60k/month.

**NB There is no state in Nigeria where a bricklayer doesn't earn than a Corper.

LordAdam:
Several economists have said that Nigeria does not have an Import crisis. True, we need to boost our industrialization and consumption of made in Nigeria goods/services. But that is not something that can happen overnight. Large industries take time to open, and break even. Nigeria is one of the worst countries on earth to do business.

We have a fundamental problem of the system in which we operate, not Nigerians.

Fix the system then you can blame Nigerians on their consumption habit.

grandstar:
Wrong. GEJ would have allowed the official rate to depreciate. Buhari has refused to allow that to happen and that is way there is mayhem today.
In 2009, when the oil price collapsed to $35 from $148 in 2008, Soludo refused to allow the naira to depreciate from around 120. He started introducing all kinds of foriegn exchange restrictions. Despite all these, the rate depreciated as low as 190 at the bl

tyav7:
Let them continue blaming GEJ till it gets to $1 to 1000 before our eyes go clear. 12 yrs ago oil was this low but our economy never nose-dived like this.

dollarlander:
But can you compare chinco's work with Julius berger's job?

redsconsult:
i think julius berger also compounded more to our problem by over pricing and colluding with public officers to loot the nation dry a prj of 5billion naira by ccecc will cost julius berger 15billion of naira... ask akabio and fashola they will tell. that is more reason they have head offices in lagos and uyo.
buhari empower and train our local contractors and dicourage this foreign looters.

malton:
... my point exactly!

It's hard for anybody else to match Jonathan's ineptitude.

Nobody in their right senses will say that stealing is not corruption.

No sane person will say "how much money did Nwobodo steal? "Money not up to the price of Peugeot car"

I mean, no right thinking person will oversee Nigeria's most successful years revenue wise and still amass the amounts of debts GEJ has, even to the point of struggling to pay Salaries.

No leader can ever polarize Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines like he has.

Nigerians are saner, nobody is crazy enough to usurp GEJ in these glorious positions.


To better these "achievements", one has to resurrect Mohamed Suharto a Nigerian!

owobokiri:
There is a need for a more radical, ruthless and relentless approach to the Biafran struggle. The reasons for this are pretty obvious. 50 years after Biafra, eastern Nigeria inspite of her immense contribution to the Nigerian state has been treated with scorn and levity by a parasitic bunch of eternally blundering sets of overly corrupt Abuja oligarchs whose control of the power structure in Nigeria only serves to undermine the eastern interest while providing Nigerians with nothing worthwhile to hope on. This epileptic amalgam is horrendeously hapless. It has become a monumental shame to proud men from proud cultures like Biafrans. An overwhelminly alarming edifice to incompetence, political debauchery and run-away kleptomania. A paradise to tribal hawks who will always approach every issue from the pettiest of angles, Nigeria is ugly! A state exists to further the interests of the people . A state shouldn't be turned into a vehicle to loot and pillage other peoples resources just to dance to the hedonistic whims of some unserious bunch.. This thing is not working! This thing is not designed to work!! The petty conglomorate of premodial characters that populate Abuja as we speak lack the inventive leadership traits needed to make a head or tail out of this Lugards acient schifi creation. Lets do the needful my people; lets put this emberassinly wobbling behemoth down. It is doable.

I hope ur governor is seeing this from US







I dont knw why i just hate this country?






Or am i d only one hating this fvucking country?

omenka:
Okay. Pardon me I didn't read the article. But from the tone of the op and knowing his political leanings, I can rightly guess the figure represents an increase from what it used to be.

A little math here wouldn't hurt I suppose.

If we are spending approximately N1.6b daily, it means we would spend N584billion by the end of the year.

Now, since this represents an upsurge, it means we must have been paying less in the past, yet Jonathan spent over N2.0trillion on the same item in 1year!!

....And they call him a hero.

That dude is a freaking Ali Baba!! We know who the other 40 ##ieves are.
