Its a pity Nigeria has been turned to a country where justice can be bought. This is what Justice Ayo Salami stood against before he was controversially removed. To those who praised d illegal actions of FG/CJN; I tell U̶̲̥̅̊ it will come back to U̶̲̥̅̊. Nothing pains more than to be denied justice when U̶̲̥̅̊ need it most. Nigeria is in such a mess...we give up #Yuzedo'sVoice. |
This guy only needs d services of a very good lawyer. This is pure rubbish!!! |
Just because some people are planting it does not mean they are consuming it. Maybe another statistics should be published to show the highest consumers(Ala Igbo). Some people sha... |
dragunov: Bro I think you need that prayer yourself more than anybody. Indeed You are really funSHIT.If dis' wat I'll get from dis xtain thread; then it's time to exit it 'cos it's gradually becoming satanic. Why d insult when I was only admonishing a brother?! *runs from thread |
benalvino: didnt the bible say we should test the spirit? so am doing testing and you are saying i am questioning everything... na wa fo you oI really don't see any cause for argument 'cos I think the OP has been grossly misunderstood. The OP never said speaking in tongues is not good. What he's just trying to elicit is that speaking in tongues must be as a result of the influence of the holyspirit whether it is an earthly or heavenly language that no man understand. But it only becomes wrong when we deliberately do it just to impress others that we are truly "spirit-filled". Gosh I don't know why pple are not just getting this simple fact. Hv we become so "spiritual" that we can't understand simple things again?! What is wrong with Nigerian xtainity? So many pple prove to know a lot yet they know nothing! God pls tk control and help us to easily decipher your words. Not just leaning on our own understanding but from the inspiration that comes from U̶̲̥̅̊ oh lord. Amen!!! |
Ima Bruno: Jesus told d disciples to wait for the promise of the father, now what was that promise?Bro I'm sorry to say this U̶̲̥̅̊ hv a very shallow understanding of what xtainity entails. Do you even know the essence of speaking in tongues? Everything U̶̲̥̅̊'ve been citing since are all stories U̶̲̥̅̊ read from one book or the other. This is what I'll refer to as "second-hand xtainity" Bro d kind of xtainity U̶̲̥̅̊'re practising is very dangerous. Be careful or else U̶̲̥̅̊'ll be swept away by false doctrines just because they appear similar to d truth. Be careful of what U̶̲̥̅̊ read and hear, try spending more time researching on the bible 'cos U̶̲̥̅̊'ve got great potentials. May God help U̶̲̥̅̊! |
Ima Bruno: There are countable testimonies of people speaking in tongues and miracles just starts taking place, 1. A couple where praying in tongues in the night and angels of God were released to hold a water tank that would have fallen on them that night, so d tank fell on d spot where they where sleeping that was after they must have gone for work in the morning, imagine if they were only praying in english language that they understand, dy would have been dead by now.Dats the problem with Nigerian xtainity we take anything thrown at us hook, line and sinker just because they are written by foreign preachers. We don't tk time to research whether some of the things we are thought are biblically correct. No wonder so many people pray and don't get answers because so many pple pray amiss after spending endless hours shaking their heads. So many xtains are lazy that's d reason why they can be easily misled. That's how we were tot from childhood that the blackman race was cursed thru Ham not until recently I had to do a proper research of Gen9 and alas all I had been tot was a lie from hell because Ham wasn't cursed but it was Canaan his last son that was cursed and even the black race did not come from d lineage of Canaan but from Kush! What I'm trying to say in essence is that pple shld spend more time to research whatever they are tot b'cos there so many lies that has been painted as truth. May God help us! |
[quote author=Orikinla]SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NOT BY FORCE. IT IS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. ~ Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima [size=18pt]1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV) 13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 English Standard Version (ESV) Prophecy and Tongues 14 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. 6 Now, brothers,[a] if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. 12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. 13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider[b] say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign[c] not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. Orderly Worship 26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. 27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. 33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, 34 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. 36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. 38 If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. 39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But all things should be done decently and in order. This really summarizes it all. Speak all d tongues U̶̲̥̅̊ can in d world and U̶̲̥̅̊ don't hv luv; U̶̲̥̅̊'re only wasting 'ur time. If U̶̲̥̅̊ speak in tongue all the time and 'ur next door neighbor is dying of hunger when U̶̲̥̅̊ hv more than enough; U̶̲̥̅̊ are only wasting 'ur time 'cos love is the greatest thing of all. May God grant us understanding. Amen! |
benalvino: speaking in tongues is not Gibberish man... it means speaking in language... let me put up a post from me... you will see the definition of tongues in the bible. .Sorry did U̶̲̥̅̊ really take time to read what I wrote? |
benalvino: Guy they also tell you when the holy spirit takes over, they dont know what comes out from their mouth... how is it a prayer if you dont know what you are saying to God? how can God possess you to pray to him?I'll advise U̶̲̥̅̊ to stop 'cos so many people are inclined to hold on to whatever they've been tot in d past no matter how wrong it is. But I pray may God open d eyes of we xtains to so many things we do that may look right but are 1degrees away from d truth. Speaking in tongues is something that shld be influenced by the holy spirit it shouldn't be a deliberate act by man to proof how spiritual they are which is what obtains in the church nowadays. May God help us all! |
Just jeglize it...can't U̶̲̥̅̊ see hw much money nigeria is missing. *pun intended! |
The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said the South-West geopolitical zone has the largest cannabis plantations in the country, with 1,404.27 hectares of cannabis farmland destroyed in 2012. Of this, Ekiti State tops the list of states in the zone, with 764 hectares of cannabis farmland. In data SUNDAY PUNCH obtained from the Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, on Friday, the agency said the plantations were concentrated in Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Ogun and Oyo states. It added that Delta and Edo states in the South- South top the list of states with the largest cannabis farms from other zones. NDLEA said, of the 8,052 drug suspects arrested, North-West had the highest with 2,185. This was followed by South-West, with 1,591; South- South, 1,480; North-Central, 1,230; South-East, 960; and North-East, 606. The agency seized 233,700kg of narcotics in the year under review, with the South-South having the highest, with 106,676.716kg. The South-West came second, with 94,036.265kg; North-Central, 14,472.309kg; North-West, 10,357.895kg; North-East, 4,548.268kg; and South- East, 3,608.309kg. On the list of states with the largest volume of drugs seized, Edo led with 81,541.71kg. Ondo had 61,246.35kg; Delta, 23,418.48kg; Ogun, 8,469.99kg; Oyo, 7,232.08kg; and Ekiti, 6,685.23kg. Kano State recorded the highest number of arrests, with 705 suspects - all males. Katsina State came second, with 411 suspects --407 males and four females. Plateau State recorded 384 arrests -- 369 males and 15 females. Ekiti State had 383 suspects -- 349 males and 34 females. Others include Lagos, with 321 suspects -- 305 males and 16 females; Delta, 292 suspects -- 243 males and 49 females. Ofoyeju noted that the statistics assisted the NDLEA in resources allocation and personnel deployment in line with the rating of the geographical locations. He added that it helped the agency in planning raid operations and public enlightenment campaign programmes. Ofoyeju said, "The Chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, recently posited that cannabis cultivation has serious implication on national economy and security. "Cannabis eradication is one of our priority concerns. It prevents cannabis from struggling with legitimate crops for arable land. Incentive is taken from the drug cartel, while legitimate farmers are encouraged to grow food and cash crops. Besides cutting off supply to the trafficker and drug addicts, cannabis control promotes national economy and security." mobile.punchng.com/output.php?link=http://www.punchng.com/news/south-west-has-largest-cannabis-farms-ndlea/ |
Willy4Willy: Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis are cheering him but he is digging his own grave. Ameshi should remember what Happen to Ken Wiwa, Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis that cheered him was the same people that conspired and killed him.U̶̲̥̅̊'re a big eediot if its Ken Saro wiwa's case of blessed memory dat U̶̲̥̅̊'ll use as an example. No wonder U̶̲̥̅̊ don't hv good people to defend U̶̲̥̅̊ when d time comes 'cos U̶̲̥̅̊'ve killed them all with 'ur own hands. Who is Patience Jonathan to be equating herself with the governor of a state?! If she wants to rule Rivers state then let her go to d polls. Its a very huge insult for Amaechi an elected official to be taking orders from her. Its time this nonsense is stopped. And if care is not taken it'll serve as a very wrong precedence for those coming to d seat of power in future. May God continue to be with U̶̲̥̅̊ Amaechi b'cos U̶̲̥̅̊'re fighting a very good course. |
With d way Jonathan is going; his end will be worse than OBJ. May posterity judge everybody that had hands in this case. God bless U̶̲̥̅̊ Justice Ayo Salami; your name is boldly written on life's pillar of gold. |
These people U̶̲̥̅̊'ve still not learnt your lesson abi?! Fight Amaechi at your own peril O°˚˚˚ ; U̶̲̥̅̊'ll either lose your seat/post, have your head broken/injury or lose your/sum1 close's life. God is truly behind that man! |

Wetin be dia own?! NLC has lost credibility since Oshiomhole left. In other countries the economy would hv been brought to a standstill by this rising electricity tarrif and daylight robbery by PHCN. Its not funny at all! |
Yemike: this is true i'm even at the place yesterdayPls stop making noise allover the place; make head rest. What U̶̲̥̅̊ have there is a lobster. Google it *Shakes head for Nigerian Education #DeepIgnorance |

Overspeeding+Badroad=Fatality; RIP to the dead! |
Ajimobi(Oyo state) alrdy has my vote...no shaking!!! |
FG is nw using their deeldo(PHCN) to phork Nigerians. OMG see daylight robbery; I'm sure FG is nw making more money from electricity bills than oil. This is nothing but injustice; its time 4 a nationwide protest!!! |
guy1234: Light for my area na just minight to 5 am. Just 5 months to their miraculos december 10000 mw deadline.God is watching you GEJ in HD.They're just deceiving us; they've been saying thesame thing for years. Empty promises! Nigeria is still striving to aim at 10,000MW when just one dam in Brazil(Itiapu dam) is generating 14,000MW. What a big shame!!! First of all they should come and explain dis undue increase in electricity tariff or else d govt should be prepared for a major showdown by Nigerians. Enough of this deceit!!! |
ukandi1: whether u see light or not, at ENUGU, u must pay #650 maintenance fee monthly for those with prepaid meter and u buy units at #14.82 per unit. then u pay VAT on everything . its annoying.Just imagine now d maintenance fee is #750 and they're alrdy contemplating #800. Don't even talk about the cost per unit; no matter d amount of purchase U̶̲̥̅̊ make its not just enough. The meters now run at d speed of light! The NERC chairman is even talking as if it's his fada that'll pay for my increasing electricity bill; or how do U̶̲̥̅̊ justify the increase without any tangible reason. These people are taking us for fools. FG is now silently using PHCN to unduly siphon money from Nigerians. Most people can't just afford to pay 4 their electricity bills. This is highly unfair and very annoying!! |
lucarella: [b]The Abidjan-Lagos highway development project may cost up to $2bn, the Commissioner for Infrastructure, Economic Community of West African States Commission, Mr. Ebima Njie, has said.Hey Mr Man Go and study 'ur Map/Atlas; Lagos-Abidjan is 10times longer than Lagos-Ib way. But besides what's the use of such road? Why can't they just maintain the existing one? Africans with mis-placed priorities! |
Despite the erratic power supply in the country and frequent system collapses, electricity tariff will continue to rise, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has said.http://www.punchng.com/news/electricity-tariff-will-increase-despite-poor-supply-nerc/ |
[quote author=X-factoria]Which incompetence did she show? If you were born or were alive at the time Sergeant Rogers gave his testimonies about how Al-Mustapha directed them in the murder of Kudirat, the burning of General Akinrinade's property, the attempted murder of Alex Ibru and Sen. Abraham Adesanya, the murder of one socialite woman in Ibadan etc, you would know that his statements were too detailed to be an induced fabrication. Rogers later came back to say he was induced. Don't forget too that the same reason the Appeal court judges mentioned to refuse the admission of the first statements given by Rogers and Katako could also suffice for enough grounds not to believe Rogers was induced to make the first statement because there was no evidence to support the fact that Rogers and the other guy - Katako were induced to lie. The defendants did not show any evidence that the Police offered Rogers money to lie. So the question now is this - Is the fact that Rogers came back many years to say those statements he made (note, he admitted making those statements) were motivated/induced without substantial proof enough ground to dismiss the statements? Please note that many years passed before Rogers denied making the statements. He was in fact walking free at the time and had contact with agents of the defendants who could have induced/threatened him to deny all the damning statements he made at first. The judgment was unduly prolonged and that gave the defendants and his agents enough time to work on Rogers and Katako. Even the appeal court cannot claim that their judgment is fool-proof! Our entire system of legal administration is a joke in this country!!!![/quote]May God bless u big time! Most people here are just blind to see whats truly going on; this is really a big shame to the judicial system of the country where ethnic sentiments have been allowed to infiltrate the delivery of sound judgement.Very lazy judgement; how can u just water down a 326 page judgement just like that. These are the type of judges who are ready to pronounce any judgement in favour of the highest bidder. This is a big slap to the judicial system and a huge shame on this country; not even the judges can be trusted again. Nothing less is expected from this power hungry tribe(Northerners) who are always ejecting tribal sentiments into whatever they do. They are in charge of the National Judicial Council, they also have the Court of Appeal in their grips after that "retardeen" up there controversially deleted the person that was trying to input a little bit of sanity and trust in the Judicial System(Justice Ayo Salami). This people(Northerners) have the highest number of judges in Nigeria 'cos its a much easier and stress-free avenue to success compared to being a practicing lawyer. Very lazy judgement and lazy set of judges altogether. May God and posterity judge you Al-mustapha and Shofolahan 'cos you'll definitely account for the blood of the innocent you've shed. And to those corrupt set of lazy judges may you also be denied justice when you dearly need it. I weep for this country; most especially I weep for the Yorubas. Tinubu hope you are happy wherever you are now; you better be careful 'cos u're about to associate yourself with a set of power hungry wolves(Northerners). By the time they collect that power they will eat you up. Go and ask Afonja, Awolowo and Abiola they have bitter stories to tell about this people(Northerners); political backstabbers. I rest my case!!! |
