Christianity Etc › Fellow Catholic Faithfuls, Did Today Gospel Touched Ur Life (luke 7:36-50) by gratiaeo(op): 11:32am On Jun 16, 2013
How did today gospel touched your? If God can forgive this
woman (a well known prostitute) why not you

»Luke 7: 36 - 50
36
One of the Pharisees asked him
to eat with him, and he went
into the Pharisee's house, and
took his place at table.
37
And behold, a woman of the
city, who was a sinner, when
she learned that he was at table
in the Pharisee's house,
brought an alabaster flask of
ointment,
38
and standing behind him at his
feet, weeping, she began to wet
his feet with her tears, and
wiped them with the hair of her
head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed them with the
ointment.
39
Now when the Pharisee who
had invited him saw it, he said
to himself, "If this man were a
prophet, he would have known
who and what sort of woman
this is who is touching him, for
she is a sinner."
40
And Jesus answering said to
him, "Simon, I have something
to say to you." And he
answered, "What is it,
Teacher?"
41
"A certain creditor had two
debtors; one owed five hundred
denarii, and the other fifty.
42
When they could not pay, he
forgave them both. Now which
of them will love him more?"
43
Simon answered, "The one, I
suppose, to whom he forgave
more." And he said to him,
"You have judged rightly."
44
Then turning toward the
woman he said to Simon, "Do
you see this woman? I entered
your house, you gave me no
water for my feet, but she has
wet my feet with her tears and
wiped them with her hair.
45
You gave me no kiss, but from
the time I came in she has not
ceased to kiss my feet.
46
You did not anoint my head
with oil, but she has anointed
my feet with ointment.
47
Therefore I tell you, her sins,
which are many, are forgiven,
for she loved much; but he who
is forgiven little, loves little."
48
And he said to her, "Your sins
are forgiven."
49
Then those who were at table
with him began to say among
themselves, "Who is this, who
even forgives sins?"
50
And he said to the woman,
"Your faith has saved you; go in
peace."
Crime › Retired Soldier Butchers Wife Over Plans To Marry Mistress by gratiaeo(op): 6:41am On Jun 15, 2013
THERE was pandemonium in Igarra Community of Akoko –Edo Local Government Area of Edo State, yesterday morning, when a retired soldier, murdered his wife, Mrs Onyonishoyi Ukana-Nee Akarutu, following the refusal by the deceased to allow the husband, marry his long time mistress.

Ukana, a retired Warrant Officer 2, was said to have macheted his wife at about 1am Friday morning dismembering her body reminiscent of a scene from a horror movie. Sources close to the family said the 18 year old son of Shakede whose name could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report also sustained several machete cuts in an attempt to rescue his mother.

His son was reported to have raised an alarm which attracted neighbours in the night when he was woken up by the shout of his mother as she was being butchered by his father.

It was gathered that the couple have been engulfed in a running battle over the man’s resolve to formally marry his age long mistress. It was learnt that the deceased had strongly objected to the plans which had always led to fight in the house.

It was also learnt that several attempts made by family members and friends in resolving the crisis hit a brick walk.

The remains of the body of late Mrs Ukana is said to have been deposited at a private mortuary in Igarra, while the accused Mr Shakede is currently in the custody of the police.

The Edo State Police Public Relation Officer, ASP Moses Eguavoen said the command will investigate the matter which he described as barbaric and unacceptable.

Garri the 1st: Going by what I've been seeing on NL, I can say that Tinubu is hated mostly by people from the South-Eastern part of the country. This is surprising since Tinubu's past actions and inactions affected mainly people in the southwest.

So my question is:
Why is Tinubu hated more by people who are not primarily affected by his actions and inactions??

Why is Tinubu hated more by people who are not primarily affected by his actions and inactions??
One of the reasons why some people hate your messiah
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
chairman of the Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN),
on Wednesday described the
declaration of a State of
Emergency in Borno, Yobe
and Adamawa States by
President Goodluck Jonathan
as a dangerous trend in the
art of governance and a
deliberate ploy to subvert
constitutional democracy.
“It is now abundantly clear
that President Jonathan has
finally bared his fangs
confirming what was widely
speculated,” he said in a press
statement, stressing that by
the action, Mr. Jonathan has
intimidated and emasculated
the governors of these States.
Tinubu said that keen
observers have been left with
the unmistakable conclusion
of the existence of a
surreptitious but barely
disguised intention to muzzle
the elected governments of
these states for what is clearly
a display of unpardonable
mediocrity and diabolic
partisanship geared towards
2015.
“Borno and Yobe states have
been literally under armies of
occupation with the
attendant excruciating
hardship experienced daily
by the indigenes and
residents of these areas. This
government now wants to use
the excuse of the security
challenges faced by the
Governors to remove them
from the states considered
hostile to the 2015 PDP/
Jonathan project.”
He warned that the
administration is in effect
setting in motion a chain of
events the end of which
nobody can predict, as
actions such as this one often
give root to radical ideologies
and extremist tendencies that
are a direct opposite of the
intended outcome of
unwarranted and
unintelligent
meddlesomeness.
“The present scenario playing
out in the country reminds
one of the classical case of a
mediocre craftsman who
continually blames the tools
of his trade for his serial
failure but refuses to look at
his pitiable state with a view
to adjusting,” he said.
Chief Tinubu further warned
that Jonathan’s
pronouncement, which seeks
to abridge or has the
potential of totally scuttling
the constitutional functions
of Governors and other
elected representatives of the
people, will be
counterproductive in the long
run.
“A State of Emergency
already exists in the states
where JTF operates,” he
pointed out, noting that
residents of the affected
communities live in constant
fear and their rights are
violated with impunity under
the guise of searching for
terrorists in their respective
domains.
“Hiding under some nebulous
claims which border on the
intractability of the security
challenges posed by Boko
Haram or some acclaimed
traditionalists who have
killed some policemen to
render ineffective the
constitutional powers vested
in elected Governors and
other representatives of the
people, perceived as not
amenable to manipulation for
the 2015 project amounts to
reducing serious issues
bordering on the survival of
the country to partisan
politics,” he said.
The ACN chieftain called on
all those who love Nigeria
genuinely to advise the
federal government not to
tinker with the mandates of
the governors of Borno, Yobe
and Adamawa under any
guise, calling it a “potentially
destructive” path to take.
“If security of a society is
about the protection of lives
and property of the citizenry,
the involvement of the people
is a sine qua non to effective
intelligence gathering,” the
statement said. “Any
measures put in place which
alienate the people, in
particular their elected
representatives, should be
considered as fundamentally
defective by every right
thinking person in the
country.”

I dedicate this prayer to those who fight against the loving children of Biafra
<< Psalm 109 >>
New Living Translation

1O God, whom I praise,
don’t stand silent and aloof
2while the wicked slander me
and tell lies about me.
3They surround me with
hateful words and fight against me for no reason.
4I love them, but they try to
destroy me with accusations
even as I am praying for them!
5They repay evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6They say,a “Get an evil person
to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial.
7When his case comes up for
judgment, let him be pronounced guilty.
Count his prayers as sins.
8Let his years be few;
let someone else take his
position.
9May his children become
fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
10May his children wander as
beggars and be driven from their ruined homes.
11May creditors seize his entire
estate, and strangers take all he has earned.
12Let no one be kind to him;
let no one pity his fatherless
children.
13May all his offspring die.
May his family name be blotted
out in a single generation.
14May the LORD never forget
the sins of his fathers; may his mother’s sins never be erased from the record.
15May the LORD always
remember these sins, and may his name disappear from human memory.
16For he refused all kindness to others; he persecuted the poor and needy, and he hounded the broken hearted to death.
17He loved to curse others;
now you curse him. He never blessed others; now don’t you bless him.
18Cursing is as natural to him
as his clothing, or the water he drinks, or the rich food he eats.
19Now may his curses return
and cling to him like clothing;
may they be tied around him
like a belt.”
20May those curses become the LORD’s punishment
for my accusers who speak evil
of me.
21But deal well with me, O
Sovereign LORD,
for the sake of your own
reputation! Rescue me
because you are so faithful and
good.
22For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is full of pain.
23I am fading like a shadow at
dusk; I am brushed off like a locust.
24My knees are weak from
fasting, and I am skin and bones.
25I am a joke to people
everywhere; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
26Help me, O LORD my God!
Save me because of your
unfailing love.
27Let them see that this is your
doing, that you yourself have done it,
LORD.
28Then let them curse me if
they like, but you will bless me!
When they attack me, they will
be disgraced!
But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!
29May my accusers be clothed
with disgrace;
may their humiliation cover
them like a cloak.
30But I will give repeated
thanks to the LORD,
praising him to everyone.
31For he stands beside the
needy, ready to save them from those who condemn them.

[quote author=Me_Aboki]Why are some ppl quick to judge and condemn so easily without thinking with their brains.
Read the story again and note especially the first and last paragraphs (key words in bold).

First of all, the author only said the culprits were SUSPECTED to be Fulani herdsmen; but never anywhere positively identified any of the attackers as Fulani.

Secondly, the last paragraph identified the gunmen as MILITANTS as well as their sophisticated weaponry, including for that matter SUB MACHINE GUNS and EXPLOSIVES.

Pls stop there and ask yourselves how does that fit with typical ordinary Fulani herdsman (attack)?
Its either the journalist was damn right lazy and did not investigate the story fully well or there was more to it than he was actually letting out.
Either way, this piece is incomplete without the origin and cause of the violence e.g. was it a revenge attack or a mindless one for the fun of it - there has got to be a reason which is obviously not being told.

@ MODERATOR:
Its a big shame that you continue to allow blatant violations the rules, especially no. 2,3, 7 (and even 10) under your watch without even lifting a finger, let alone taking real action against those in violation. Words like Bastards, in capital letters and similar offensive references, are in free flow but not a single word from you - the same also goes for most of the threads especially in politics.
Well, let it be known that if this continues unabated despite the so called rules and the presence of moderators to check these excesses; then I too would be obliged to take the law into my own hands and retaliate ten fold in the most vile of manner to any insult or derogatory reference to my religion, tribe or region.[/quote]Cool temper nah

BENIN CITY-THE prevailing
political tension in the nation
as a result of the
factionalization of the Nigeria
Governors Forum became
messier Friday as the Nigeria
Airspace Management Agency
(NAMA), grounded the
chartered helicopter which was
meant to convey Governor
Adams Oshiomhole to
Anambra state for the burial
ceremony of the wife of
Senator Ben Obi,the Special
Adviser to the President on
Political Matters, Mrs Collete
Obi.
*Oshiomhole
The drama started when the
pilot, Captain James
Manahash, who was already
air-burn with the governor and
his entourage was ordered to
fly back to the Benin airport
five minutes after taking off
over what they described as
failure to pay aerodrome and
landing fee.
The pilot was threatened to fly
back or the aircraft will be
banned from flying. It was
learnt that the governor who
observed the argument
between the pilot and the
NAMA officials, prevailed on
the pilot to come back and
answer the call so as to sort
out the issues raised.
But to the chagrin of the
Governor and the pilot, they
were delayed for over one hour
thirty minutes even after the
pilot paid the landing and
aerodrome fees. After waiting
for such hours a visibly angry
Oshiomhole entered his
vehicle and zoomed off.
Saturday Vanguard later learnt
that he headed to his village at
Iyamho. He declined
comment.
When newsmen met with the
pilot, Captain Manahash, he
expressed shocked over the
incident, asserting that “I have
been a pilot for 35 years out of
which 7 years in Nigeria. So I
was surprised when I was
recalled back to the airport
after we took off. The Governor
prevailed on me to come back
and answer them. When we
got back I was told to pay
landing and aerodrome fee
which ordinarily we could pay
later.
“Even after completion of the
process of payment, we were
still delayed for one hour
fifteen minutes with the
governor still seated in the
aircraft. Ordinarily payment of
such fees doesn’t take more
then ten minutes. This is not
the first time I have been flying
the governor and we have
never witnessed such a
disappointment. It is really
shocking” he stated.
