Haydens:
The apostles didn't marry.

That's not true, some of them were married. Peter was married.

Throwback:
What is Mass?

The Apostles did not pray and break bread as mandated by Christ?

What is Pope, Papa etc?
Was Peter not the leader of the flock as appointed by Christ?

Where is GO or Superintendent in the bible?

Jesus didn't Make Peter a pope neither did He make Peter the leader of the flock. He only declared that he will build His church upon Peter's declaration of him being the Messiah and son of God. It has nothing to do with Peter himself but all on the confession of Peter that he is the son of God. It is the declaration that is the Rock and not Peter.
Christ never appointed anyone to lead his church, He leads the church by himself.

Jesus never made any of his disciples greater or subservient to the other. And he made that very clear in chapter Mathew 20: 20 Then the wife of Zebedee came to Jesus with her two sons, bowed before him, and asked him for a favor.

21 “What do you want?” Jesus asked her.

She answered, “Promise me that these two sons of mine will sit at your right and your left when you are King.”

22 “You don't know what you are asking for,” Jesus answered the sons. “Can you drink the cup of suffering that I am about to drink?”

“We can,” they answered.

23 “You will indeed drink from my cup,” Jesus told them, “but I do not have the right to choose who will sit at my right and my left. These places belong to those for whom my Father has prepared them.”

24 When the other ten disciples heard about this, they became angry with the two brothers. 25 So Jesus called them all together and said, “You know that the rulers of the heathen have power over them, and the leaders have complete authority. 26 This, however, is not the way it shall be among you. If one of you wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest; 27 and if one of you wants to be first, you must be the slave of the others— 28 like the Son of Man, who did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life to redeem many people.”

Read your Bible properly and also read the history of papacy (Pope). It had nothing to do with Peter and all about a clergyman grabbing power through religion when a power vacuum opened up. Papacy is not biblical, it never existed until the medieval era.

Jahlivesforever:
The Catholic church teaches from Bible and Tradition.

Those things you listed may not be in the bible, but they are in the tradition of the church.

So, if you don't know tradition of the church, go ask your parish priest

it is this teaching of man made tradition that Christ criticised the Pharisees and Sadducees in mathew 15 : "15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the Law came from Jerusalem to Jesus and asked him, 2 “Why is it that your disciples disobey the teaching handed down by our ancestors? They don't wash their hands in the proper way before they eat!”

3 Jesus answered, “And why do you disobey God's command and follow your own teaching? 4 For God said, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘If you curse your father or your mother, you are to be put to death.’ 5 But you teach that if people have something they could use to help their father or mother, but say, ‘This belongs to God,’ 6 they do not need to honor their father.[a] In this way you disregard God's command, in order to follow your own teaching. 7 You hypocrites! How right Isaiah was when he prophesied about you!

8 ‘These people, says God, honor me with their words,
but their heart is really far away from me.
9 It is no use for them to worship me,
because they teach human rules as though they were my laws!’”

Whatever that's not in the New testament is not Christianity. Go and read the history of Roman Catholic church and the orthodox church to get a better understanding of how these churches came to be and how they adopted different pagan practices and arrogated power to themselves.

Only the poor and irrelevant people will be angry about these benefits,

This is why it's recommended that you go to school and go for a good profession and strive hard to be a better person in life

Rather than sitting behind your phone and lamenting that you are hungry that they are giving some people big benefits

If you are a useless person to yourself and society and the type that always say "school la scam" you will only be rewarded with crumbs

You that have gone to school you still couldn't get a good profession and strive hard to be a better person, all you've managed to achieve after all the school you attended is to be chronically online, defending those who probably got to these juicy positions with fake certificates. You defend them as they chart away with your common wealth but all the school you have attended and despite all your "hardwork" you can't even afford to buy yourself a decent car let alone a bulletproof one.

The annoying part is that an Ikwuano son was House of Reps member there from 2015-2023.

This same man is a Board member in the North East Development Commission yet that road has been a deathtrap since the mid-2000s.

A Minister under Buhari was also from that LGA but only tarred into his own compound, yet on the same road you have a Federal University and 3 other Federal Institutes. Make Una continue.......

Otti, you dey try!

My brother, Iheanyi Onuigbo is from my village gan gan, Obuohia-ibere in ikwuano. You need to see the front of his house during raining season, na natural swimming pool dey there due to bad road. He's a disgrace to both his community and local government, his tenure as house of rep yielded nothing for his community and that's why he was voted out.

oluwaseunamos33:
Hmmm. this method of playing politics wit pple's lives that our leaders are using is very bad and their own families are outside the country enjoying theirselves. Almighty God, it's high time U come into our rescue by eliminating all this our bad leaders and their family members

Almighty God is now an assassin abi? You can't stand up to the people you elected into power, you can't hold them accountable and you want almighty God to come and assassination for you. dey play

GOD help us bring things back to normal in this country..

Lol... God is going to help you bring back things to normal because when you were voting in the last election you saw God's name on the ballot box abi? Abi you have heard that God is the financial advisor to the president? Abi He's the minister of Financial abi CBN governor?

Nigerians are really funny sha. You will consciously and boldly elect misfits into power and instead of you to demand that your elected officials perform to the best of their abilities, and when they don't, instead of you to hold them accountable you're there praying for God to come and perform wonders that is well within your power. Be praying to God to turn things around while your elected officials enrich themselves by looting your common wealth.

We're still far away from sense in this part of the world.

sreamsense:
Likely due to job loss and joblessness. South east is expected to top the list since most illegal trading and faking products that are confiscate d by government agencies do render some of them job loss and joblessness. Chinedu that is selling slippers, but covered up at background with illegal drug. Once NDLEA, gets him bursted and locked up his shop; he becomes jobless likewise Ndubuisi caught by NAFDAC producing fake baby teething formular and then write made in India with fake NAFDAC number can loose his license or get his shop locked, which renders him jobless

It is still Femi and Ayodele that would disgrace the country by begging foreigners for leftover food 😅😂. Dey play

Yet it is SW people that are fund of begging foreigners for leftover food in the streets. 🤣.

Educationalserv:
Cutting grass in winter with all your UK 15000 pounds degree at 38 year is degrading and humiliating couple with daily treats of Reform UK kicking the grass Cutter out of UK
So I rather be chopping Najia govt 200k with zero stress and use the 15000 pounds or 30m to do Business
Example if I order Dangote fertilizer 720 bags at 38k each
Will sell for 41k
720*3000=2.1m
This 720 bags sell out in a Month and repeat the cycle .
So you can see the UK grass Cutter is no better
Than the Civil servant with 30m capital and business knowledge in Nigeria
The Nigeria Civil servant with this Capital will come to UK with a 1000 pounds to 5 days holiday he will see his fellow Nigerian Mopping the Hotel Floor after spending 30m +UK MSC to Japa

Come next year you will be begging for that UK grass cutting job because tax is going to be taking a chunk of that 200k salary.

Softmirror:
How has it increased? It was far WORSE under Good luck Jonathan. You want to say you have forgotten? Infact Kano was having bombs explosions frequently.

It is far worse now, what are you talking about? Were there terrorists in kwara, Kogi, Katsina Benue etc? Boko Haram was confined in the north east during GEJ tenure but now they're almost about to cross over to the other side of the Niger.

njokuuche77:
There are lots of crimes going on in the country, yet Police use their resources and time for all these? Na wa!

Instead of going after kidnappers, bandits, and fraudsters, they’re busy re-arresting citizens exercising their rights. This kind of misuse of power is exactly why public trust in law enforcement keeps declining. When justice is selective, security suffers.

It is why people have little sympathy for the law enforcement agencies when they're gunned down or protesting for their pension and gratuity.

Willy2025:
The Nigerian Police Force should respect the rule of law. If he has been granted bail, allow him to go. Follow the due process of the law. Sowore too own is getting too much. I have never known him with any gainful employment after leaving UNILAG since the 90s. No job except to be playing on gullible people's emotions. One day go be one day for him.

Nigerians are the reason why the government officials, politicians and security officials ride them, insult their intelligence, treat them like disposables and blatantly display their I'll gotten wealth right before everyone's faces. It is because of the Nigerian public's docility and sheepishness and fear to fight for their rights. And your comment here gives a good testament to that docile and sheepish nature of Nigerians.

Nwaikpe:
There is something really wrong with the Nigerian government

In fact, with the way they behave with Sowore, I feel like there is a complicity of the government with the actions of Sowore.

How can you always arrest a man, and always loose in court against him, and still always arrest him the more.

It's hubris by the government

nairalanda1:
Well , good morning and have a good day too

I don't have a candidate. Usually, I vote for a party that is not pdp or apc , or even anyone that is not tinubu,obi and atiku

Sadly none of the politicans in Nigeria have any idea of how to sort out our problems

Which is why I insist on you reading about dutch disease.

But since ...ah well, good morning again

So none of the politicians have an idea how to solve our problems so we should now cancel the election or the electorates should all stay at home during election day since none of the candidates are viable? Is that what you're trying to say??

I don't know why you keep mentioning Dutch disease, what has Dutch disease got to do with voting for the right presidential candidate?
It's like someone in thinking about choosing between a Mercedes, BMW and Lexus and you tell that person to go read about brake failure. As in... You're not making sense here. Hi

Aragon001:
Stop spreading fallacy on this platform Mr Man. Who told the ibibio, efik and oron people hate annang and love igbo and where did u see the closeness of ibibio and igbo? Geographical the annang are close to the igbos than the ibibio and others. Stop spreading lies and falsehood where there is none.
And let it be known here that the ibibios, annang, orons and efiks do not hate yorubas, hausa/Fulani nor do they hate any other ethnicities from other part of the Nigeria. Akwa ibom, and all Niger Delta states will rather remain as a region than be lump with the southeast and will prefer to be part of Nigeria.

I shouldn't have replied to your comment because I can deduce that you're probably not from any of these tribes, because the fact that you say that Annang are closer to igboland More than Ibibio geographically just exposes how little you know about Akwa ibom people and the Abia State. I'm from ikwuano and I have a house in Aba very close to Akwa ibom, so I know exactly what I'm talking about. In fact, Akwa ibom women carry their goods on bicycles from Akwa ibom to opobo junction Market in Aba to sale every single day, that's to show you how close these places are.
The Ibibio and Igbo people have been sharing borders for centuries. There's been lots of intermixing among these two groups and it's very easy for an Akwa ibom man, especially Ibibio and Annang to understand Igbo language if they put their mind to it because the two languages while being distinct are from the same language family.

The funny thing is that my colleague here in Lagos who is from Akwa ibom, whenever he's traveling to his place, he always refer to it as Southeast and never South South. The Ibibios and Annang are actually in South East and not in South South.... Actually, there's nothing like South South.

I didn't say that Akwa ibom people hate other ethnicities, I said that they are weary of Yoruba people and that's a fact! And they're more likely to align and join with the Igbo than with any other ethnicity across the Niger. Yes they would prefer to stay on their own but if the choice is to stay with Igbo or other ethnicities across the Niger they will choose the Igbo because they're more related than the others.

nairalanda1:
That's why you will never get good leaders...your asking the question shows you have made up your mind or you want me to do the thinking for you.

Or you want to call me tinubu supporter


Read about dutch disease , and resource dependent economy and then we can talk

This is why I consider a lot of Nigerians literate but uneducated. Most of you just know how to write in English language but uneducated and unarticulated enough to properly express your views and opinions when questions are thrown at you.

You're telling me to read about Dutch disease ( of course you don't have the slightest idea who you're talking to) and about resource dependent economy as if it's some kind of a pilgrimage journey where a promised Messiah presidential candidate would be revealed at the end of the journey.

You obviously have a candidate who you have made up your mind to vote for, but you're lacking the confidence to mention their name.

Morenikeji090:
Omo iya mi. That’s just the fact and truth about all the issue that does who hate and brainwashed don’t know if this man try and come out he will fully be disgrace that’s for sure…. Coz the calamity he bought during is tenure was why and what have Buhari the room to rule coz that man is very weak not a bold man at all…

Name Those calamities and compare them with what we're experiencing under Tinubu

AMINDA:
Wike indeed, delivered Rivers to Tinubu but the people of Rivers never voted for Tinubu. So, Akpabio couldn't even deliver his state? Didn't the people of Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom know it was "Southern turn" when they voted Atiku, a Northerner under the PDP in 2023? Proves my theory that Tinubu is unsellable in the South beyond Yorubaland.

Your theory is correct. He is not sellable anywhere in the South apart from SW, the SS and SE will never vote for him and the only way he can ever hope to win any State in SS is by blatant rigging like Wike did in Rivers state. Of course, SE is out of the question, I don't think that even the most delulu APC supporter expects Him to win a state in SE. As it stands, even with all the defections, if Tinubu can not get at least half of the votes he got in the north in the last election, then there would be a new president come 2027.

As it is, whoever ADC gives the ticket would very likely be the next president. If they give it to Obi, he will win by a landslide, but if they give it to Atiku, then he will marginally win because Obi contesting with LP will win both APC and ADC in South but will lose the North to ADC. The battle ground for ADC and LP in this scenario would be the SS and North Central. Whoever wins these regions will be the declared winner.

At least this is the way I see it.

nairalanda1:
Even if Jona ran and came back, the good times will.not come.back.

Even if assuming tinubu won and oil went up to 159 per barrel, a lot of the revenue would be lost paying off debts

Only leader Nigeria needs is one who will make our economy dependent on manufacturing and exporting manufactured goods and services.

GEJ, tinubu , even obi are not it.

Nigerians should not vote for apc again abeg

So who should they vote for?

jamuta:
Same questions comes to mind. Are you sure tinubu wouldn't be worst than abacha if he cliches his second term, if some of you don't know the sign on good cap means Infinity, that's enough symbolism to know that he'll easily get a third term extension at the middle of his second term using his rubber stamp national assembly.

That's the prediction for the future, but the truth is the future of Nigeria is actually in the hands of Nigerians.

Now that you mentioned it, perhaps that's why he is pushing for a constitutional amendment. Maybe he wants to sneak in a clause that would allow him rule beyond 8yrs

And for you who is a lower class, it's amazing and bewildering how you take delight in carrying water for the 1st class while they display immeasurable wealth before your eyes, wealth that they no doubt acquired by looting and stealing wealth meant for you and every other lower class citizens. Nothing says "Slavery mentality" more than this.

When the senior officers decide that enough is enough.

The Nigeria army is mighty apart from politics

The senior officers are busy amassing wealth and buying properties in Dubai and elsewhere while throwing the soldiers to the dogs. There's a reason why the mid level officers are angry and planning a coup "allegedly".

Nazgul:
I don't know about the rest of the countries on that list. But you see that 4.5m they wrote for Nigeria, it's a lie from the pit of hell.

Cos it's almost impossible to be homeless in Nigeria, you'll sha see where you'll squat and if nobody in the city accommodates you, there's definitely a space for you in your village to lay your head unless you're an orphan.

USA has more homeless people than Nigeria.

it is very very possible to have this number of homeless in Nigeria unless no be for Nigeria you dey live. Do you know how many homeless people roaming the streets of Lagos? So many of these northerners pushing trucks and picking up condemned irons are homeless, they sleep on the streets with just a mosquito net as cover. Go to under bridges and you will find so many homeless people squatting there, in fact it's hard to find a bridge in this country without a homeless person taking shelter underneath it. Some even sleep in closed shops others under parked vehicles. Homeless people full Nigeria o my brother.
