Great move from these countries, there will be no peace in the middle east without a two state solution and there will be no two state solution without a Palestinian state.

Humanity wins.


Empathy for Palestinians cannot mean sympathy for Hamas, anybody hating me for supporting Palestinians must be wicked
I agree with you. But I hope the hamas that always act as terrorists won't enter Israel territory and begin to slaughter them like ram some day. Sadly, they won't tell those western countries sympathising with them now, when they want to strike next

I just want the war to end. Its enough

CrimeRe: Bandits Kill 7, Kidnap 150 In Munya, 25 Gunmen Neutralised In Niger State by Eriokanmi: 5:46pm On May 27, 2024
aariwa:
Since tinubu entered aso rock more than 5000 Nigerians have lost their lives to banditry including the more than 500 that were killed on Christmas Day last year In plateau but tinubu have never never had any person arrested or charged in connection with the killings or even commiserated with any of the families but had been quick to condole foreign nations when they have tragedy, infact he condoled with Iranians few hours after they lost their president but can’t condole with the people he calls himself their chief security officer and commander in Chief, which has made most Nigerians believe they don’t have a president or basic security but when Peter Obi condoles such families some juvenile tinubu supporters will come online to condemn such act of humanity from a man that knows the meaning of loss to grieving families who lost loved ones to brutal deaths like this
This is what happens when people keep voting those who don't bother about the safety and security of their lives in power, cos tribal and religous affiliation. They will either be in shock on hearing of masses' killings or extend their condolences to the family of the victims and life goes on.

A few months ago, I said Jos people would beb attacked again after tinubu received the news in shock without preferring any lasting solution to it. A few days ago, it happened and he was shocked as usual and moved on with his life, leaving them helpless.

Nigerians will be wise someday.

A lot of the so-called men of God will lead many astray. This man has been busy organising conferences and leadership programmes in the US, making money. He's to me more of a business man than a pastor. There are millions back home who are not yet saved, those who are dying in sin in droves. He's not seeing those ones.
PoliticsRe: "Nigeria Was Bleeding When We Took Over. We Have Stopped The Bleeding" - Tinubu by Eriokanmi: 10:25am On May 27, 2024
Racoon:
This is the 9 years of APC unfortunate gracing of our national life. Nigeria was among the 5 fastest growing economy in the world in 2015. Now they have ran it aground with unbridled greed, bigotry, nepotism, and ilegalization of institutional corruption from one catastrophic APC government to another. Yet they are not ashame or remorseful nor don’t want to be accountable for the mess they have entangled this nation into
I always get angry each time I see a comment like yours. Please and please, always mention tinubu as the one destroying Nigeria for the past 9 years. It only became glaring now that he's the president.

Tinubu remains the single Nigerian man who destroyed our economy from 2015 by going to buhari to tell him to run and he'd give him his full support. He was the only one seen at campaign venues sweet-mouthing buhari. He was the one who took him to Chatham house, gave him the speech to read , during which buhari said he's a reformed democrat. It's same Tinubu who flew buhari in his private jets all over, campaigning for him, all because of fulfilling his lifetime ambition later.

Many Nigerians are blinded by religion and ethnicity..Tinubu shouldn't have been allowed to near that place. Buhari came and set us back to 50 years of existence as a country. Tinubu came and continued from where he stopped.

So, he's the one who destroyed Nigeria for 9 years, not the apc. He was the same person who brought up the idea of the formation of the apc.

I blame Jonathan for his cluelessness. He should have arrested all the save Nigeria protesters back then and charged them for treason. He was too soft as president. He didn't listen to elderly advice too. Obj kept hinting him but he jettisoned all his advice, saying baba wanted to rule his government. He realised his weaknesses when it was already late and the apc had succeeded in upturning his government with propaganda.

For instance, if you stole and you got killed, your entire family will bear the loss for a long time. If you killed and you're caught, you'd be thrown into prison. You, your entire household including wife will bear the pain for a long time not only you, due to the vacuum you'd leave behind.

If you engaged in corrupt practices at work and you got sacked, you, your children and family will feel the heat cos there would be no money for upkeep due to your unemployment status. Your kids could stop going to school.

If threatening people with eternal torture is not coercion then football is not a sport.

Also baptism is a sort of initiation, and you are not exactly free to leave as in some cases you lose your friends and family in the process as they now see you as an outcast.
Baptism is by choice. Nobody forces anyone to be baptised before becoming a Christian, though necessary. Its not a compulsion sir.

Eternal torture or hell isn't a threat. It's real. Its still a choice, to be in hell fire or enter heaven. Many who didn't find Christianity conformable cos of their own way of life had left to become atheists, Muslims or trad so, it's not by force unlike cultism, except you wan die

Nobody intimidates. You are free to leave anytime you choose and the goal is making heaven, regardless of your societal status. Cults aren't run that way they're devilish and secret in practice.

Christianity EtcRe: Wealthy Pastors Flying Private Jets Will Find It Difficult Making Heaven! by Eriokanmi: 11:38am On May 26, 2024
Daejumong:
Rich Pastors and Christians will find it difficult making heaven !!!

Matthew 19:23-24
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Why did Jesus say this? Let’s look at the preceding verses?

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

This rich young man was a child of God faithfully keeping his commandments just like many Christians and Pastors today and he was so confident of his stance in God and asked Jesus what he could do to get eternal life!
When Jesus told him to sell ALL his properties and GIVE TO THE POOR and then follow him, he walked away Sad!

As a pastor or Christian flying private jets, driving expensive cars and living a life of luxury, Jesus is saying, Sell All and give to the poor and follow him! Jesus said to attain perfection and build treasure in heaven u must do this!
This appears difficult and unfair to rich Christians? The disciples thought so as well. Let’s see their reaction in the verses that followed:

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Jesus explained that it may look difficult naturally but with God’s help it is possible!

We can invariably conclude from the teachings of Christ here that if you are a pastor living a life of luxury, flying jets and helicopters and some of your members are poor , heaven will be difficult to make for you! These are words directly from the mouth of Jesus who will decide whether we make heaven! His words are superior to any prophet, king , preacher or apostle in the Bible or in contemporary times!
OP, today na Sunday oo, make we no quarrell oo. Which kain talk be this nah? Pls stop misquoting the bible.

I've not owned a private jet yet and I crave one. If its in the Lords plan for my life, I'd own one, definitely. Pastor Adeboye owns a jet and a copter but for outreach and evangelism purposes, not as a luxury. There was a time he told the church to sell the copter cos of the running cost, which they'd have put to use elsewhere but they refused. They said he needed it most. Someone like him who would be invited for a programme on all continents almost same time and would still conduct the mandatory monthly holy ghost service back home. How would these engagements have been possible without a private jet, can you tell? By the time he flies a commercial plane 2 times and he wasted almost a whole day on layovers, he'd barely be able to keep 2 appointments in one week out of their branches spread across the length and breath of the planet earth.

In his case, a private jet is a necessity. He can do European trips in less than one week. He can travel at his own pace and time without any hindrances.

I just like this man of God. He's one of those contributing immensely to our economy but via religious means, silently. He's the largest employer of labour in Nigeria with each church having at least one pastor globally. Each church also employs some workers too..gardeners, gatemen, security men, etc. In each Congress which draws over 10m members from across the globe, each visitor must bring in dollar or euro.

They bring the money into Nigeria and exchange it to Naira to spend locally. They barely go back with the dollar. Yet, one yeye politician would be saying church must be run as a business centre where they'd be paying taxes. All the hospitals pastor adeboye had spent billions of naira equipping nko? No federal government has that financial muscle. I don't want to even talk about those he's feeding free of charge. His school feeding programme surpasses what the federal government is taking fake glory over, all the time yet, he doesn't make noise about it. He constructed a federal road without making noise, which the contractor under fashola claimed he tarred and took that glory. He rehabilitates prison yards and feeds prisoners, etc. OP, you didn't see any of these before rushing to misquote those bible verses abi? Na only jet you dey see smiley

So, if a man of God is flying a jet cos of necessity as highlighted above, he'd make heaven oga OP. Leave God to judge everyone individually. Tnx

CareerRe: CBN Sacks 200 More Staff by Eriokanmi: 11:24am On May 25, 2024
masseratti:
oga please stop saying what you have no idea of online please,am a lagosian and in Abuja currently...my work place is in central area same street with CBN head office...I have had cause to do business with CBN staffs right from their Lagos office since 2008 at namdi Azikiwe side adjoining broad Street,the annex office ....I can't count how many friends I have there,I was in the business of lending most of their staffs Money way back then one of the pre requisite is your pay slip..their salaries was bump up by Sanusi because they complained that the banks staffs they are suppose to be supervising earn more than they do ..

So don't tell me they earn much and one work load is much ..that's a terrible lie ..the 10,000 are not spread in state or regional office...its at that building and most do absolutely next to nothing,just replying irrelevant memo,the senior ones fully engaged in FX round tripping,come and see their houses in Abuja..u will be wondering where they got money from ...apart from NNPC staffs the next ballers in town are CBN staffs.. clearly there is something wrong somewhere.
To start with, do you also think I fabricated my story? Do you even know what I do to the CBN? If we stop serving their alternative energy for one hour, they're in trouble. In 2022, I personally followed up a guy's employment at the CBN and cos of my influence, he was taken. He wasn't a core staff at first. By the time he's later converted he was posted to Kaduna branch. He also had a colleague though I didn't know how he was taken but they got posted out too. He was posted to yola office. They were both taken same time.

Most of those doing fx deals with the cbn aren't staff per se. They're these guys with the government connections. Aisha buhari introduced some of them cos she too was involved in the shady deal before she stopped. She made a lot of money from the fx sale.

The problem I have with most of you guy is, you're quick to term someome a liar, not even knowing how he got his information from. That's very bad and I think you should change your mindset.

Just so you know, all those employed and sacked were mainly those who got there during emefiele era, not Sanusi and their salary isn't as fat as you claimed. They're mostly fresh graduates. CBN isn't just the Abuja office, even though its their HQ. All employees aren't centred in Abuja alone.

Once they're employed, they post them out. The guy I facilitated his employment is always complaining of workload. He works at their IT department in Kaduna. He does most of the work there. He's also a lagosian and affected by the sack. Tinubu doesn't like emefiele and that's the truth. When another government takes over tomorrow, all those employed by the current cbn could be sacked as well. There's nothing new in it. It's all politics. By the time they fix their people up, you'd not know. I dey see many tinz there . If tomorrow tinubu faces FIRS, I won't be surprised cos a lot got employed through osinbajo in that place.
