Sonnobax15:
Today, a friend of mine invited me to the traditional marriage ceremony of his brother in-law......

After travelling for over 2hours via my keke, so we finally got to our destination.

After exchanging pleasantries, kola nuts and other traditional rites were done,then it was left for the main dowry which was #2000.
It was then the bigger problem came because the groom's family didn't come with cash. They insisted on doing transfer but the bride's family insisted on it, saying it must be paid with cash.

Omoh, the whole thing became funny . The bride's elder brother kept insisting on it until a POS attendant was invited into the situation.The dowry's money was later withdrawn and paid in cash.

Now, my question is, is it right to pay Bride price via transfer considering the new currency policy that's affecting everyone at this moment? Or the groom's family could have withdrawn the money and kept it until the D-day while it was crystal clear it could have expired due to the deadline of the naira swap?

Mods abeg make una shift this thread to the permanent site so that make other enlightened nairaladers for torchlight the matter small.

Bride price is not really a payment, but a commitment symbol. You are not buying a wife, rather you are saying that you have means to take care of a wife, and you are willing to commit your resources to her well being.

Because its symbolic, the value is in the visualization of the payment, not the value of the paltry sum. As such you should do it in cash not by bank transfer in which case the comunity did not see or observe or witness your commitment.

MeineMutter:


It does mean. Any company you join, within the space of 3 years after your resignation, and the company is in the same INDUSTRY/SECTOR where the former company you signed the non-compete agreement is deemed to be competitor to your former company so far they are in the same industrial sector. It doesn’t mean they should be producing exact same thing.

Your formal employer has its reasons for suing you. Sit down with a lawyer and take down all posts relating to this topic from all online media so that you can be tactical in wining.

I could see you are defending yourself like a professional litigator against any opposite opinion people have.

If you don’t need people’s input or perspective on this matter, don’t bring it to the public. You should only ask questions and areas that are not clear to you from people’s perspectives.

Stop giving him your crappy laymans advise and trying to force him to bite. Your write up shows you have no experience whatsover scrutinizing contracts.

Othniel4mi:


3 years from When? (AFTER SIGNING - I signed in 2018 so you are right. Why will I lose the case. I started working with the new employer in 2022) Please read in between the lines. The company im working with presently is not parent company. They're not related in any way. We only have same target market. It is an open business. If your soup is sweeter than another person, I will buy yours.
(I joined previous company 2018 when I signed. I started with the new employer in 2022)😁

Stop replying uninformed comments. Any non-compete agreement that says you cannot work is null and void. If they were smart, they would have worded it to say you cannot poach any of their clients for the period. As is, it is null and the constitution guarantees the human right to work, and no contract supersedes the constitution.

Othniel4mi:
Fellow Nigerians. I need help because I don't want to be terminated from my new job.

I resigned after working for the previous company for 3 years for the following reasons:
1. No benefits except HMO
2. Only your salary
3. Performance commission not paid
4. I was doing job of 4 people without appreciation. I have to do it to keep feeding my family.

I got another job after 7months I have resigned properly from the previous company.

The previous company has sued me to court with my new company. My New company doesn't want to let terminate my employment with them because I am the operations manager and I have the business knowledge.

Myself and 1 Lebanese man started the previous company in 2018 in Nigeria before the company became big. I have full knowledge and my new company is now a big treat to them. I believe because of this they sued us to court.

My new company doesn't have enough money to pay lawyer we consulted.

The previous company said I have signed a letter that stated that I cannot work on same field for 3 years. When I checked their claim, they didn't write that I cannot work on same field for 3 years AFTER TERMINATION (Please check the attached document).

I know if I go to court with them i will win this case. How can a company said i shouldn't use my skills to work in another company.

In the previous company they didn't do any training for me, the only in house training was the onboarding training for 2 days and after that no training cost invested on me and no any form of performance benefits paid.

Now I got another job, the previous company is trenthening my new company to terminate my job. Now we need to go to court and they claimed 20M for damages.

Fellow Nigerians what can I do to this Lebanese company that want to deprive me of my right in my own precious Nigeria where I dey hustle to feed family and make it in life.

Please what can I do 😂.

Kindly check the attached document they said I signed, of which it was signed after like 8months of starting with the previous company.

We didn't have HR when we started in 2018, I was the one that recommended the HR through a friend from my Church. The HR is the one persecuting me and acting as a witness in court against me.

I wish I didn't help her to get the job.

Please help.

Op here are three things in those terms that makes this a zero case.
1. Sufficiency of Benefits. - your emplyment terms dictates that you will get a profit share as part of your compensation. They never paid it, even once, so the benefits are insufficient based on their own standard, as such that term of non competition has been breached by your previous employer even before you left their service.

2. The 3 years is ambigous, so you can define it as you want, starting from your first contact with the company.

3. The Non Competition clause is unenforcable, as most are which is why most companies never include such clause, only psuedo lawyers do. It is not aganist the constitution, but against your fundamental human right. The right to work and earn a living. No court will uphold it, unless they are paying you to stay unemployed for 3 years.

Based on these, do not just go to court to defend yourself, rather go to court and counter sue them for N100million, for 1 attempt to get you sacked and infringing on your human rights to work, 2. Witholding your share of the company profits for the period of employment. Since they did not say how much percentage of profit, find a reason to give your self a huge ridiculous percentage such as 100%/ number of staff.

You do not need a costly lawyer, look for a friend or use legal aid. They know they have no case, they just want to frustrate you. So frustrate them, by finding someone who will always attend court diligently.

PerfectMan24:
Ur brother is late and he has children.
The normal thing to do since there is no will is to share ur father's property into 2 that is, between u and ur late brother. As ur brother being the first son, his family will first take.
Assuming ur brother is alife 2day, that is the same way it should be done.

this not Igbo culture, we do not share things into two.
The legacy of a man will be carried on by the first son in form of his Obi, which must remain undivided so that all members of the family will always have a reference home. After this, if there are enough lands, each male will get a place to establish his abode or Obi, and then whatever remains will be shared equally among the males. Unmarried females will also get land, especially if she has a son that takes her own fathers name. If all a man has is his Obi, his first son inherits it, the others get nothing but have rights to live in the obi till they are ready and able to acquire their own abode.

We are culturally attached to the land of our origin like the jews feel attachment to isreal, thats why we always return home to our fathers land. If we share Obi, it will be liquidated by the uninterested parties and end our identity and affiliation with the land. So this is the reason for not sharing the Obi, and it is well tested with time.

My father was naive enough to knock down his fathers mud house in the 50s and rebuilt it with his own money, when he is the second son. Last last the reality was that he built a house for his brother, while his allocated abode was empty. Thank God for my mum, who then built his obi.

First you are the person in the wrong.
Did you inform him or your Umunna before breaking into his late fathers room and disrespecting the deadman?

You are Igbo, you know very well the first son will take the obi, then everyother thing will be shared by the youngest male, and others will choose before him. Aslong as this is your fathers abode, whether in city or village, it does not belong to you in its entireity. You are only a custodian. It belongs to the first son and his offsprings.

Your right is that you cannot be prevented from entering the obi at anytime but your children cannot inherit it. You must establish your own Obi, which your first son will inherit.

So do not disgrace yourself. You are not only
the aggressor, you are totally misinformed, and muschivous by claiming an acknowledged son is a bastard, their are no bastards in Igbo culture. If the woman gavr birth to the son while married to another man, then you may have a case that he is not your brothers son. Unless your father has a will, that is the custom for inheritance.

Kobojunkie:
Again, 1. This is the reason why I asked those 2 simple questions at the beginning of all of this so you can be honest with yourself as to whether you accept the teachings of Jesus Christ or not, from the get-go.
■ Did Jesus Christ lie when He said that God, the Father, sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 20 - 26?
■Was Jesus Christ lying when He warned His disciples not to give that which is Holy to the dogs - the non-Israelites - in Matthew 7 vs 6?

What you clearly don't see is that in the course of this discussion, you have only revealed that you don't accept the teachings of Jesus Christ. Not only that, you don't even know why Jesus Christ said what He did regarding dogs — non-Israelites, a fact made clear in His conversation with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 —, so, you see, I am not the problem here. Not at all!

2. If you are unwilling to gain an understanding of what God Himself took time to do, how can you claim to know Him or His truth? The one who divided them up into two groups was God, the one who chose to first scatter the other tribes before the tribes of Judah.

Well, I see you have nothing new to add. So beyond arguments, I leave you this quote of Gods promise to Abraham.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Galatians 3:16‭-‬18 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.3.16-18.KJV

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3:23‭-‬29 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.3.23-29.KJV


I also pray sincerely that the holy spirit leads you to His truth, because it is important for your salvation to understand properly who Christ is, and why he is the only way, the truth and the light. If your understanding will not come from bible verses and arguments, then may you have a intuition, revelation or a vision. May the voice of God call you forth and show you and teach you. For adding your voice to his purpose will add many rejoicings in heaven.

Shalom!!!

1. Referencing a similar conversation I had means I am attempting to sharpen myself? Isn't introducing the idea wacko of sharpening and knives into this here conversation wacko to begin with?.

2. Stop spewing meaningless soundbites born of ignorance abeg and go read the book.

Again, . This is the reason why I asked those 2 simple questions at the beginning of all of this so you can be honest with yourself as to whether you accept the teachings of Jesus Christ or not, from the get-go.
■ Did Jesus Christ lie when He said that God, the Father, sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 20 - 26?

Stop repeating poorly constructed questions that have already been trashed. If Christ came for Isrealites only, then you have no reason being a Christian. Further it means you are condemned without redemption unless you also want to tell us you did not originate from Adam. Infact your whole construct seems to lack any dedicated brain work. If your construct was even remotely true, then all Christians for 2000 years have been fools, unless they were Isrealites. Sounds supremely stupid, don't you think.

Kobojunkie:
1. Not everyone is like you in your lack of comprehension of that contained in that passage. https://www.nairaland.com/7505345/church-doctrines-dogmas-biblical-why#119621110

2. So you are choosing to comfort yourself with the fact that you are not alone in your ignorance. Alright, Goodluck with that.

You are even referencing yourself as your authority. That's still wacko. A knife cannot sharpen itself.


Your problem is that you fail to see when God transcended from choosing Jacob, to fulfilling his promise to Abraham, to not only make him the father of many nations, but to bless ALL nations through him. So again I leave you with bible verse to that effect-

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Romans 4:16 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.4.16.KJV

Again faith, like that of Abraham, like that of the woman with the sick child is what makes us sons , daughters of God, and heirs in Christ Jesus.

Kobojunkie:
1. The problem here is you don't seem able to see what is right in front of you in the passage that is Matthew 15 vs 21 - 26. Others can see it but somehow you can't meaning there is a gap in comprehension somewhere.

No other person sees that verse as you. That's why from the beginning of this thread people avoided replying you, cause your interpretation sounded outrightly quite wacko.

Kobojunkie:
I see this is a problem that stems from a lack of language comprehension skills so I will let you continue on your way since I am not a language teacher.

The language of discuss is English. The source of reference is bible. So two things a bible verse chapter: verse in English showcasing clearly your link of dogs to Non-Isrealites. And I will give in that you are not all hullabaloo.

Peter said God is no respecter of persons, he accepts people of all nations. You say no, he only accepts Israelites, without any relevant quote. Only twisting the story of the woman with sick child out of context.

Kobojunkie:

If you can't show me clearly where Jesus Christ or any of his apostles said that the dogs means Non -Isrealites, then throw your opinion to the dustbin. It is not biblical.

samuel051:
the days if Noah and man reference what pls?

The days of Noah, son of Enoch, references the time of the destruction of the children of the watchers or fallen angels, by flood through 40days and 40 nights of continuous rain. It is mentioned because in all their divination, no one knew this day was coming. So shall the second coming of Christ be.

It is not the beginning, the begining was with Adam. Second coming of Christ is also not the immediate end, Christ will rule for a thousand years,bringing peace on earth before he brings the final end and judgement. Even that end is not an end, because God will create a new heaven and a new earth, and will dwell with his choosen ones, who obeyed him and followed Christ.

Kobojunkie:
1. Opinions that you weren't able to properly refute?

2. Are you projecting at this point or something? You clearly didn't realize before now that there existed a division between the Jews and the rest of Israel until I mentioned it here in this discussion. You also didn't even know before now that Jesus Christ said He was sent by the Father only to the house of Israel, so, why not go back through scripture and get yourself caught up on all this before you proceed?

Opinions that are not biblical need not be refuted, they belong to the dustbin. The only reason I quoted you in the first place was your mis interpretation of bible verse. If you cannot base you interpretation on a clear bible verse that support what you are saying, then that's just your opinion, and it is irrelevant.

There is no importance of distinguishing between children of isreal and Jews in the scheme of salvation. It is of no consequence and is not emphasized in the bible. Rather, the emphasis is on Jews and Gentiles. Your are the one qualifying gentiles.

Kobojunkie:
1. Well, Jesus Christ is the agreement that God declared He would make with the House of Israel in Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34. The explanation for who the dogs mentioned in Matthew 7 vs 6 are and who they aren't is found in Matthew 15 vs 22 - 26.

2. Wrong! The woman is written to have asked, "Son of David, Have mercy on me!" See attached image.

3. This response is a bunch of gobbledegook! Please before you proceed any further, I urge you to take out time this month to read through the first five books of your Bible so you at least get a background of why Jesus Christ had to come into the picture. Jesus Christ explained this in His Gospel but as many of you are given to totally ignoring His teachings all so you can cling instead to the regurgitations from your pastors and mogs, I ask that you at least read up on the Law of Moses, to get the necessary background as to the why of Jesus Christ.

God scattered Israel to the four winds of the earth, the Jewish subset of Israel was the last to be cursed and scattered by God, and Jesus Christ told you this as He did warn the Jews of the coming judgment from God on them, a judgment which started less than 100 years after He left them. You need to read the book rather than comment ignorantly on what you are obviously not aware of at this point.

4. If you didn't know before now that the Jews who lived in the land of Judah were not all of Israel, then the problem. Read through 2 Chronicles beginning from chapters 10 - 13 to get caught up on the makeup of those who predominantly lived in the land of Judah where Jesus Christ was born.

As for Cornelius, I did post a link that gives you clear details as provided in the passage where his Israelite connection is mentioned. If you have any particular questions, about that state, do let me know. Otherwise, you can't continue to approach this from a point of ignorance of the subject and expect me to take you seriously, can you?

5. And it so happens that the only standard of righteousness which exists outside of Jesus Christ is the Old Covenant Law of Moses which God gave only to the israelites. So what Peter said of righteousness happens to apply to the Israelites in any and every nation out there.

All your responses are based on you opinionated interpretation of outflung bible verses. Please learn what it means to be factual in making an argument. Your opinion is not a valid point.

You are now adding to what Peter said, outside of the clearly written verse. Just like you went into Jesus Christ's mind to discover that dogs meant non Israelites, which is not written anywhere. Then you are again doing a number on Cornelius outside what is written about him. He is a Roman soldier, likely Roman, from the Italian Regiment. These are clearly written in the Acts10. Anything you are referencing outside of the bible is a waste of my time and yours.

Kobojunkie:
1. You gave nothing meaningful to go off of.

2. Wrong! The term dog was used by Jesus Christ in reference to all those who are non-Israelites. This since He was promised by God to the House of Israel-- Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34, just as Jesus Christ said. Therefore, in Matthew 7 vs 6 , what Jesus Christ stated in reference to the agreement promised by God which He, Jesus Christ embodied, is that only those who are not dogs can have it.

3. Again, wrong! The woman initially asked Jesus Christ for mercy which prompted Jesus Christ to respond that the mercy He has to give was promised only by the Father to the lost sheep of israel. Upon hearing this, the woman then clarified that what she wanted wasn't mercy but the crumbs that fall off the Master's table which the dogs where entitled to, and only then did Jesus Christ grant her the healing she had in fact wanted instead of that which is Holy which she had likely mistakenly asked for originally.

4. No amount of faith can make you an Israelite as God Himself chose that bloodline for His purpose. Faith can make one a Son of God but only if one commits entirely to obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. The woman's faith qualified her for the crumbs from the master's table, and not for the food that belonged to the children of the master -- the agreement/Covenant that God promised only to the children of Israel whom He originally cursed and scattered to the ends of the world - Deuteronomy 30 vs 1 - 6

5. Well, if you didn't know , Cornelius was an Israelite who was also a Gentile I.e. he was of the tribes that has been cursed and scattered by God hence the reason why God sent Peter, born of one the Jewish tribes of Israel- Benjamin, Judah, or Levi- to him, Cornelius.

1 and 2
There is nothing connecting Matthew 7:6 to Jeremiah 31. There is nothing concrete to say Jesus was talking about Non-isrealite, rather than faithless people who do not believe in him.

3. It is the same help she asked for that Jesus gave her. You are the person calling it crumbs. Her faith qualified her. So Jesus said himself when he told her, that her faith is great. Stop imposing your opinion on clearly written bible passages. We are commanded not to add or remove from the word of God, that we do not corrupt it, with our wordly wisdom.

4, My response for 3 applies. God asked us to Worship him in spirit and truth, for this reason. That we do not begin to limit ourselves with physical manifestations. Christ did not come at the time isreal was scattered, they were in their lands when he came. So your talk of curse and scattering are not relevant to his purpose. He even spoken of the scattering of the physical isreal after him. So gathering the physical isreal was never his mission.

As for 5, you are the one creating a new division Gentiles vs Jews. Again their is no place in that passage Acts 10, where it is stated that cornelius was an isrealite. He lived in ceaseria and was of good report among the jews. He was a Centurion, a commander of a centenary of Roman soldiers, so a high ranking Roman soldier, like a Roman. It is also stated in Acts 10:1, that he was from the Italian Regiment or band. Stop adding your personal opinion to Bible verses.

But leaving semantics, I leave you with the exacts words of peter.


Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Acts 10:34‭-‬35 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/act.10.34-35.KJV

Kobojunkie:
Wait a second.... I asked 2 simple questions and answered none of them but instead took to writing me an epistle to nowhere, why?

Again, Here's two question for you. Did Jesus Christ lie when He said that God, the Father, sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 20 - 26?

Was Jesus Christ lying when He warned His disciples not to give that which is Holy to the dogs - the non-Israelites - in Matthew 7 vs 6?

Your are a very funny character. The first part of my write up was for you, the others addressed other question being asked on this thread. I believe i gave you a full answer that you understand. But if you want a deconstruction of your quote, here it is.

Matthew7:6, the term dogs meaning gentiles is your own interpretation. There is no literal reference in that passage that says Jesus was refering to gentiles. It all in your head. So no need giving further response.


Mattew 15: 20-26
You told us what Jesus said, but you did not tell us what he did. The woman replied Jesus, with faith, and he healed her daugther, and told her that her faith is great, and her daugther is healed. Has Jesus countered himself. He has done this that we may know, that it is our faith that makes us the children of God, the Choosen Ones of God, Isrealites, Gods People. Christ was sent to save Gods people, by the womans faith, she qualified. So can you, if you believe in Christ.

I hope you know God specifically sent peter to preach to and baptise a gentile, just so people like you will understand that he excludes no one from grace and salvation.

Kobojunkie:
Here's two question for you. Did Jesus Christ lie when He said that God, the Father, sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 20 - 26?

Was Jesus Christ lying when He warned His disciples not to give that which is Holy to the dogs - the non-Israelites - in Matthew 7 vs 6?

Is it that you did not read when someone else taught you that even as a gentil, accepting Christ Jesus means giving up you spiritual identity, and taking his. Making you a son and heir of God, much more than just an isrealite.


Let me try to put things in perspective for those who are asking questions to understand, rather than to mock or that those who are mocking may also understand

Who are isrealite? They are not just Children of Isreal, but rather Gods Choosen people. Anyman that chooses Christ becomes choosen by God, and all Gods words and grace applies to him or her.


Again lets look at the words, The Lost Children of Isreal- Gods Choosen people. When were they lost? Actually it was in the Garden of Eden, before the man called Isreal, under the custodianship of the first Adam. Isrealites in name are only the point from where God started the salvation of mankind. His focus are his Choosen ones, Gods Elite as they are called in revelation.

Spiritually we are all Gods choosen people, because when he made man, he took from the earth, and took of himself or his breath, to make man in his image. He gave to all, the very same love of creating. That's why after Adam became Lost and sinful, God became weary of relating with us, and said in Gen 6:3, that his spirit will not dwell in Man forever, and reduced the life span of human to just 120 years (a twinkle in his own time, "time and relativity". This is for those asking what our Soul is. It is Gods Spirit in Us, which is is our real spiritual self, which must account and be judged of of all things, otherwise we are no differentfrom goats and cows. If you ask me for physical evidence if your soul, I ask you why cows goats and minkeys are not just like men in their own societies.

Let me elaborate here, Before you mis-understand, the word spirit, read the book of enoch where he was shown the spirit of the four winds, etc, and various systems of the earth. Spirit simply means technology, a working system. So Gods spirit means Gods piece of Technology, that is our soul. It is what makes us different from animals. If your are into Aliens and UFOs, you will know other alien beings are obsessed with studying our souls.

Back to Christ.
After Adam was lost, Sataniel took custodianship of the earth, and its corruption by angelic or supernatural beings began. God used flood to deal with that problem. The spirits from the human crossbreeds or children of these angelic beings which belong to neither heaven nor earth are bound here on earth. They are not accepted into heaven, and they roam this earth. So they are the spirits roaming up and down, which someone asked about. They are extremely thirsty for something we where not told. Some people are stupid enough to worship them, perform rituals giving them spiritual control over your own soul. Same mistake first Adam made in disobediance.

Having dealt with Fallen angels and their crossbreed offspring. God must deal with the issue of his lost children, the offsprings of Adam. So he sent the second Adam, Christ. Who could qualify under all laws. Isrealites understood him to be a national hero, but he came as humanities hero. That's why he considered the Roman occupation of the time a trivial thing, and never gave it attention. He was sent not to Isrealites, but to the Lost of God's Choosen ones. How he fought the prinicpal battles of obedience, temptation and paying the price for our salvation or rescue is classical and celebrated in Christmas and Easter. But remember, he even went to Shoal - hell, to preach to souls whose physical bodies were already dead, that he might bring them salvation. So Christ is not just, some national hero. He has the custodianship of the earth, which he wrestled from Sataniel. He is also exalted for this feat, far above every authority or principality, that has been or that will be, for our own sakes.

Why? Because Sataniel will plan a comback, a comeback that we are warned in the revelations by Christ himself. That there will be an Anti-Christ, who will seek to rule all of us by subtle means, such that none can buy or sell except they have the mark of the beast.

This is where the question of tattoes come in. Eve, did not know that merely eating a forbidden apple, the act itself would potend the transfer of power and kingship from Adam to Sataniel. Similarly, what does tattoes potend. It may not be the image itself, but the act, which might be of different intentions for different people. The act of giving your body to something is an act of worship. The book of revelation does not just point to the beast making people receive his mark, an act of worship to him. But it also talks of the children of God Receiving a mark of Gods name on their forehead in another act of Worship. The act of marking your body in reverence to friend, mother, father, or anything is an act of worship that easily falls into Idolatory. And Did you ever hear that the Lord our God is a Jealous God. He says do not make any mark, so that you do not unwittingly worship something else.

Why is this different from all the other canon laws? Because Christ repeated this same command, when he said Love the Lord your God with all of your heart and all of your mighty. Matt 22:37. This means nothing should be between you and your love for God.

If you already did make such a mark without realising the intention behind it could be a form of Idolatry, you are not impossibly lost. Christ came to find you, even again and again that through him you may find salvation and forgiveness. So find Him and you are fine. But lets not now say that sin is not sin, that grace my abound. The sin is not in the image, but the intention behind the act. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, do not regard it carelessly to offer it to another mere mortal. Our body is the single most complex piece of physical technology on the earth, the bible say we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

They are still quoting this fashola's lie. The only reason he left that project, without killing it is because Goodluck Jonathan concession that bridge to a consortium made up of Julius Berger, Some local and some international banks.
The bridge will be tolled, Fashola knows that. But that will be long after the elections. Federal Government paid for only the Engineering design in 2012, before Buhari. Every other thing will be paid for by us.

So Second Niger Bridge has nothing to do with Buhari. He did not terminate it, only because of the private sector interest behind the project.

I dey shame 4 you.

Were do I start to educate this dumb dude.

Incoherent and illogical crap you wrote here.

Try Google GDP of France and Franco phone countries , before we proceed.

You can't even understand the simple concept of economic sabotage by monetary deflation. Keep quoting google.

blueAgent:


I can stop laughing at your ignorance.

Mind you , I eat and live from oil and gas industry in Nigeria, you can tell your cock and bull story to ingnorant folks like you not me.

And I eat and live from thin air, but live in an oil rich country that is poorer than Church mouse.

African's will never get sense, so you are Happy that a Democratic elected government is ousted and a militart ditactor is now in Control of Mali,Mali claimed they don't want interference and ordered the French military force to be removed only to be replaced with Russian mercenaries.
Do you know that the colonel that removed the president of mali and ordered the French military out of Mali himself has been ousted by another younger colonel.. So you call that stability abi

Yes, from instability they will reach an equillibrium that will result in a stable political formation, it might not even be one country. As long as France and others continues to intervene, they are still at ground zero, no matter the peace. How do you know the new colnelbis not a French come back. They are well know for such chsnge of givernment in Africa.

blueAgent:



What a dumb thoughtless comment.
The GDP of the entire western African francophone countries is not even up to 300billion dollars , so only you know were France gets such money from.

Are you not the dumb person. The guy obviously is looking at the actual productivity of the French economy, not the relative inflated monetary value, which is fixed by their Govt. France does not produce cocoa, coffee, bauxite or even coal. But to naive believers like you, they tell you the cocoa beans is not worth even a tenth of the process of making chocolate. Every step, they force your stoogie govts. to devaluate your currency even further for loans like Buhari just did, so cocoa beans becomes even worth less than the "thougth" of making chocolate, yet without cocoa you can't have chocolate.

Aggrarian communities trading with paper currencies is the greatest stupidity of every African country. Trade with gold and silver coins that no one can manipulate, but no, we must print money backed by nothing as Europeans do.

Crap.

If you understand how petroleum industry work you would not write this crap.

You mean how they tell you it works.
The DPR officials verifying first oil from wells that have been producing for months. They usually do yhe verification in hotels rooms inundated with girls and drinks.

Or is it the various undocumented export pipelines, which your govt. was denying existed untill Tompolo decided to unmask just one.

Or the crappy Production sharing contract designed by Britain for you. Contrast that with the simple "i own the oil" model run by middle east countries.

The worst type of a slave, is the one who does not even know he is enslaved, he thinks he is a favourite pet, just like a dog. Such are called animals due to their impared intellect, maybe thats why they refer to negroids as monkies behind their backs, so they wont hurt their feelings wuth upfront racisim.

Idiots complaining about the yoke of France on others, what about the yoke of Britain on you.
France is doing it directly which exposes them to discerned. Britain is here as Royal Dutch Shell, and a baseless ideology called "One Nigeria". They hold the licence to over 60% of all oil wells in Nigeria. What ever they tell your government they produced, thats what we report. Unmarked oil tankers move in and out all the time.

As long as they keep us busy with an impossible unity, among entities they've studied for over 200 years, knowing fully well we will all be fighting and competing as they loot as they want. Its the infamous Divide and Rule. And no, the solution is not to unite, cause thats impossible. The solution is to Divide in peace, form an economic and Military Union. Provide as basis for sharing existing oil resources for 30 years since thats the catch keeping everyone tied, after that, everyone on your own and at peace.

Think, Burkina Faso invited France, because of insurgents from the North. Nigeria invited Britain. Who created the insurgents and bandits? Same messiahs, NATO- USA, UK, France, Australia, invaded Libya, killed Gaddafi, and donated his guns and weapons to Tuaregs, who are using the guns to try to escape their desert homeland south. So they have gone to their ancient traditional profession of slave raiding and trading. Only in mordern form its kidnapping for ransome. Tell me this eventuality was not a careful part of NATO plan- military economic sabotage.

I hope people know anyone can book the conference rooms at Chattam House, it does not mean an invitation or endorsement by Chattam House or its think tank. Infact speaking and making use of their venues has nothing to do with Chattam house as an organization.

Failed and intellectually declining politicians in Nigeria choose to evade all the media houses, Radio stations, and Debates in Nigeria. They book and host their own media events in Chattam house, where they cannot be reached, or asked the relevant questions. Where they can hide behind a think tank pedigree that has nothing to do with them. Like Buhari, Like Tinubu. Do not make the same mistakes again. Let Chattam House vote for them during the election.

No effort to reach the rural population in their local languages, its this Chattam Charlatans, that stupidly allow their image to be bougth again and again with deception.

Under Peter Obi, Poverty In Anambra Grew From 25% to 54% And More Than 50% Of Anambarians Were Living In Poverty -
Gov. Soludo.


https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02XNcCKountR6ofrVwZjr32A6oGCvq8DVSe3aCztN9TUrNZPwWzE8RpxAptH6yL5Wgl&id=103104878681389&eav=AfaFxwKF8MwpYleg4hn0Qgqk7xZIx5E0RkaYI2sRK_eDiiyWEv_OBH3mE4QngzRuHgk&m_entstream_source=timeline&paipv=0

Did not know Soludo is such a childish personality! I hope he knows that if he is used to displace Peter Obi, that will be the end of his own political career in any elected office. Just like Hope Uzodimma

LILTJAY:
A single Nigerian tribe is responsible for Several countries in Asia considering the UAE style ban of Africans due to decades of Ibo drugs and criminal activities.

Cambodia:
In recent years Cambodia denies entry to most African passport holders due to Thai-Camboadia Ibo drug dealers and 419 operatives in SE Asia masquerading as businessmen. When confronted by African diplomatic officials, the Cambodian Government produced 100s of African prisoners and wanted suspects 99% of whom are Ibos but known to locals as simply Nigerians or Africans.

Vietnam:
Most ports of entry into Vietnam are nightmares for Africans due to drug and fraud related offenses committed mostly by Ibos, the authorities have posters and news cuttings to present which show Africans of mostly Ibo extraction.

Thailand:
There are thousands of Africans in around 22 detention Centers (IDC) in the country, most are for drug related offenses, 419 and VISA overstays. Some have been executed for drugs in the country and 90% of these African criminals are Ibos and can be seen in broad daylight selling drugs in Bangkok's Sukhumvit Road and other areas.

Indonesia:
This country has executed over 2000 Ibo people in three decades and there are many unmarked graves that relatives did not claim their bodies after execution. There are also several thousands in prisons awaiting death penalty or doing long sentences.
Ibo organizations in the country constantly misleads the Nigerian embassy and Government by simply asking for help saying Nigerians are being targeted due to racism!

Phillipines:
Ibo drug dealers and criminals operate openly here and many are in prisons. Some Ibo people were executed as part of the shoot at sight drug war initiated by president Rodrigo Duterte. A well known case of a Filipina girl awaiting trial in Indonesia that caused a global media attention was a woman named Mary Jane Veloso, she was a mule working for Ibo drug barons who are still wanted by the authorities and Interpol.

Japan:
In the last years Japanese police started stop and search of black people in the country, when the US Government protested due to some of their black military personal being targeted the Japanese revealed hundreds of posters of arrested and imprisoned Ibo drug dealers and criminals as their excuse for targeting blacks, they say they cannot tell the difference most times.

The same tribe was responsible for the South African Xenophobia attacks targeting not just Nigerians but Zimbabweans and other Africans. Ibo crime activities in South Africa is the key reason cited by the Government and locals for the attacks of the nationals of certain African countries.

China:
There are over 8000 Ibo drug dealers and criminals in Chinese prisons awaiting death or serving long sentences. In recent years the Chinese have started using Ibo prisoners 'Organs for transplant to wealthy Chinese families. There are hundreds of Ibo people dead and bodies cremated that are still unclaimed by their families.
The Chinese policy to ban Africans from hotels and apartment and even went as far as throwing all Africans in the streets during the Covid Pandemic was a result of decades of Ibo crime activities in the country.

In all these cases of global destruction of black credibility, they are simply referred to as Nigerians or Africans!

Good of you.
Kick them out, they should not be in same country with you.
Let them go with their trouble and evil, to form their own country.

PoliteActivist:


There are no type of outlandish excuse you people won't trot out. Haba!!

Sorry Bro.
Even the US could send their latest weapons to ukrain but they are sending Himars and hand held missile launchers. While they had a team on ground from day 1 picking fragments of Russian projectiles. Studying the evasive techniques of russian weapons to American Heat seeking missiles. Only looser is Ukraine , the rest are playing a game - Supremacy 2022

Elsueno:


I am actually disappointed as well....I just don't know why they are fighting like they are afraid of Ukraine despite d amount of hate d country is showing them...if they did 'shock & awe' like NATO usually does, dis shyt would have being over a few months back...NATO sees how soft Russia is in this conflict, dats why they keep pouring weapons in...I like Russias new general better

Did it occur to you that such a move might be exactly why US is supporting Ukraine. To get the opportunity to count what russia has. US just tested hypersonic missiles, which we all learnt Russia had in march. So russia is not stupid using old weapons and dragging the war.

Is the problem Peter Obi or your comprehension of English?

The man simply said the brewery employees are 60% Anambrarians. Whats the issue with that?

When did intefact brewery declare a loss so they can't pay tax? Do you have their annual report where there is a loss? Not only are they paying tax, there is a plenthora of suppliers and service companies serving them who are also paying tax.


Incase you are referencing Agbodo economics of converting share price to usd then and now in order to find loss. Heh heh heh!!!, it does not work that way in real life among honest people. Share price has nothing to do with the bottom line profitability of a company.
