Shame yet on Russia.

With all the ammunition and boasts of superpower, Russia couldn't humiliate Ukraine, so much that they would have to resolve to using nukes not proper in modern day wars?!
On a levelled playground, you are already a failure so far, so cheat has to be introduced. Cheat remains a cheat

PrinceOfLagos:
It will take Ukraine many years to recover from this war

Same with Russia.
Anyone without much knowledge of international policies and relations will say those sanctions against Russia by committee of nations are nothing. Just wait.

How is he confused? Man standing against the largest amry in Europe... Russia thought by now they will have been unrest in Ukraine.. Instead this man Mr zelensky has been able to unite a country against tyranny.. A country with so many ethnicity are untied.. You see people willing to die for their country.. It takes a leader of strength and character... A foolish man like you staying in a country were unity is farfetched.. Is your president not confused?? Have you ever been in a leadership position? You that can't not even lead yourself is insulting a Democraticaly elected leaders that campaign and won an election

Are you minding them, so many teenagers on the platform dabbling into discussion they ought to rather learn from, just because of availability of cheap data.

mike8804:
Thought you guys were wining the war! War is not politics which you can win with social media propaganda.
Russia is the only country that cannot be conquered, they help to end both first and second world war. A country with about 11 timeline zones!

Note:
After Germany has pounds the hell out of great Britain and her allies, the west couldn't defeat Germany (a country not has big as northern Nigeria) only when the red army came, the war was won. Napoleon and Hitler made the mistake of attacking Russia.

President Putin said and I quote " if the world doesn't want to live with Russia, then the world doesn't deserve to live without Russia"

"Russia is the only country that can't be conquered" sounds so far, far fetched. Because of 11 timezones?

Germans military and weapons couldn't do well under the extreme cold in Russia as they pursued the Russians further in, which was a trap in itself, they had to abandon them within Russia territory and capitulated in that pursuit, Russia didn't win because of their military prowess but weather that destroyed mostly Germans weapons. Check history well again.
Beside, Germans couldn't overcome RAF (UK) which was why Hitler didn't invade Britain.
German army spread too thin, fighting hither and thither, without Russia, they couldn't have won the war even till the end. Again I say, check history well.


Turn it around, if it had been Russia against the rest of the world, I am sure this narrative of "the only country that can't be conquered" won't be it. Russia shares border with about 14 countries, that's a vulnerability alone in itself.

And your post is almost applauding Russia for invading a sovereign nation on the basis of what can't add up from the lips of Putin. Let Ukraine add the media propaganda or whatsoever you call it to their fight, I think they need it, Ukraine never boasted that she's more superior to Russian might, so they need sympathy, enough of which I feel they have got and still getting; rather Russia should be ashamed that days into their war campaign against an underdog, they have had more casualties than necessary.

Shame on Putin.

As if the world has not experienced turmoil enough.
Next time, before any country rolls out drums of war, count and weigh the cost...
More implications yet to come.

Looks like a foolish decision, especially to many ignorant ones right here, but that's actually what's best to do.

1. Not all wars or battles are yours to fight. There are wars you win by avoiding them. He who fights and runs will live to fight another day.
2. The war of 21st century is war of supremacy of economy. Any world power that goes into war these days won't recover economically for decades to come. Germany is still paying for the foolishness of Adolf Hitler for plunging the world into WW2
3. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia doesn't concern US directly. Ukraine has never joined NATO officially, so US will be on her own, to go headlong into war with bloodthirsty Putin. The best bet would be NATO against Russia(had it been Ukraine already belongs to NATO), not US all alone.

Nuff said...

This mad Putin, he is single handedly driving the whole world to war.

Not too far from what happened when the German invade Poland.

Na so?
That is stupid thing to write even if you want to book space?

Is not Buhari matter.

How men can repeat history with such precision!

olatade:
What I don't understand is why does he want to destroy his career so much that he keeps repeating this act

Exactly.
So talented a man... So unique like Akon's voice, even more. There's hardly anyone who does it better than him in his part of the country...perhaps

Always using fine names for these destructive elements...

There was a country.

They need to fear because it wasn't possible for Kyari to be doing all sort without the knowledge of his superiors, might not be all, but definitely some.

Greater fear is that getting to the conclusion of the whole matter is not promised.
Most eople in power mostly are there to use power to serve themselves first and keep their dirty stuff in the dark forever. Power corrupts. Tell me one singular power broker on the corridor of power who doesn't misuse power ... especially among blacks?!

Simply, Kyari has backers and business partners among his superiors.

HantaVirus:
No country on earth now can afford a full scale war.

Russia's economy is so weak that they can't afford to start a war....Even the United States with a military budget of One trillion dollars wouldn't want war right now with what COVID-19 is showing the world.

War is fucking expensive

Exactly!
All these toddlers saying that US is a coward or Russia is so-so are nothing but as they are called.
Even for the country with most buoyant economy, no one has enough resources for war in this 21st century. No one can estimate right the cost of war unless when war is concluded. Germany is still receiving sanction for the role of their dictator leader leading to second WW. Japan still has not forgotten scars of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Not even the war that might be fought with chemical/biological and nuclear weapons... No country can ever be ready.
War is not funfare, even any country which claims to win at the end of a war will record losses and licks its wound.
It is babies who think reluctance to fight a war is cowardice. US has much more to lose.

The world doesn't belong to just one person.
What goes around, comes around.

oluseyiforjesus:
Honestly our politicians don't hv common sense. In a state where blood are shed daily.

Common sense they say is never common.
That's why they say these guys don't just value Nigerians.
What's happening across the breadth and length of the country on a daily basis is enough reason to declare state of emergency on national security here and there.
Worse still, so called 'war' against terrorism and banditry is compromised to the full.

American Celebrity life. No introduction, no engagement, no church wedding, & when time is going old u get a baby father or baby mama. Belle direct

Exactly...
Stranger than fiction it is.
And you know what? American lifestyle gets copied and pushed to the rest of civilised world so easily... This pattern is becoming a norm in many places among celebrities. In fact, it is not new again.
New age, new order.

David is not a Christian
You actually toned down the essence of discipline in the life of a Christian as if the one who knows the truth and does wrong won't receive more punishment and as if open rebuke and disfellowship is mockery or mocking him.
Discipline is for his soul ;
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.(Matt 10:28, NIV).
So in this case, the Church must discipline him. Whatever he does with his personal business or ministry is not the one 2 Thes. 3:6,14 refer to.

I struggle to understand how you found it easy to handle failure than success.

From my life experiences and watching the lives of great mentors, I have learnt that there's no sudden failure or sudden success in life. It's precepts upon precepts , if you do what successful people do, you end where they end and if you do what unsuccessful people do, you will be unsuccessful. That it took the woman calling him out before admitting puts him in a bad spot and all the accusations raised by the woman are so heavy that the Church must investigate and get his reaction. If the woman had not called out, he would have probably continued to lead fellowship throughout this week and later without any remorse or confession.

The Instagram video is not for the church.

It's a lesson to us all to remain careful because we will answer to our actions.

David wasn't a Christian that's why he could fall right? May be you can throw more light, whatever you meant by that.
Your own definition of discipline is for his assembly to be done away with him and never to have anything to do with him again according to 2 Thes.3:6 you quoted? You care to explain yourself again, because it seems you are the only one who knows what you are talking about.

You admitted that his Church must discipline him, what did I write earlier? Or how if I ask should the Church discipline him aside from the things I mentioned earlier (counselling him, suspending him from officiating, praying for him, etc), going by the Scriptures you quoted, "... withdraw yourselves from everybody that walks disorderly..." is that the discipline you are talking about?

I don't have problem with the fact that you don't know that people higher up in pedestals face more temptations than people on ground or low cadre. Maintaining the top is harder than getting to the top... Whichever way you interpret that doesn't ruffle me.

Now about he who has desecrated his marital vows by impregnating someone else, I don't know him personally, I ain't writing to absolve him of his errors. Whatever has led him to that isn't one day's errors, and consequences of errors are real, thus you don't need to feel like I am taking side with him.

My point is that your Scriptural quotation doesn't apply; to discipline a fallen Christian isn't that the Church must withdraw from him or cut him from their gathering and have nothing to do with him again, especially if he wants to repent and admit his errors.
You saying that he did all those willingly is as saying that even if he turns to God truly afterwards and wants to stop his deliberate sins, God won't hear him ever again and Church should cast him.

Let him that stand take heed.

O pari.

Now he will start staying at home . His wife (and probably his biological or adopted children since I learnt he doesn't have a child with his wife yet) will be seeing daddy's face more frequently at home henceforth since what keeps taking him out all the time has sent him back home.

Which one is "suspending himself "? He should actually disfellowshiped by his church for walking disorderly and restored when he is truly penitent. He is not the one to suspend and restore himself.

“Withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us... And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed” (2 Thes. 3:6,14).


I remember his grass to grace story on Inspiration FM and truly feel proud of him ,so much impressed by how he came from abject poverty to become a success today. How he threw all that away for an African doll when he has a real Queen at home is still like a shock to me.

Suspending himself is for himself, his personal ministry I think. Another suspension ought to be from his own Church which he attends. That's the way it is done. And the length of church suspension can't be determined by him but by church authority.

2 Thes. 3:6,14 doesn't really apply. There are enough doctrinal Scriptures that talk about how to handle someone who falls, which include prayers for the person, counseling suspending him from officiating and so on, none is about sending him away from the midst of brethren if he truly REPENTS and serves his suspension with remorse to show for it.

Lastly it is easier to criticise someone when it is not you. I am not speaking for him that he did well. Foundation of God is sure, and God cannot be mocked ... However even Bible warms that if anyone falls, a standing brother should help him stand in the spirit of meekness and not of pride, lest he be tempted himself.

There are have been men of God perceived to be bigger than him and have fallen in this country and have truly repented and restored. Criticizing someone after he fell doesn't make the critic a better Christian.
There is no one who can't be tempted ... It takes the grace of God and a whole lot of personal self-denying to keep up, and even after falling, to still return back to God.

It is easier to handle failure than success. Successful people have more doses of temptations than someone still struggling to stand.
David didn't fall until he became comfortable.

Quest7777:

Make dem calm down.
We had a better team than Tunisia & deserved to win. Tactics aside, you cannot rule out BAD LUCK.
1. Tunisia was supposed to beat Gambia in their last game to avoid Nigeria vs Tunisia in R/16, but received red card & eventually lost the match.
2. Their Covid-19 cases actually put us at a psychological disadvantage because many people then expected us to win easily thereby putting undue pressure on us.
3. When you play under pressure, you are liable to mistakes which is the root of Iwobi's unlucky red card & that goal.
4. Buhari factor.

Good one. Balanced views of things.
I like your analysis.

Even the dumbest knows this.

dfrost:
Tactics, tactics and tactics.

Removing two strikers at the same time?

No coach can please everybody.
If you check the thread of Nigeria Vs Tunisia, that's what many were recommending.

And truly how many attempts came from Awoniyi, or even combined with Ihenacho? I am sure if he didn't eventually remove them, people will still blame him. Sadiq and the other Yoruba guy who came in, I checked both were striking... Just my thought.
No coach can please everybody.

humberjade:
Well, it is not just a Nigerian thing... you see politicians even in the US do same; visit bars, barber's shop, etc during electioneering campaigns. The only difference is that, while the US politicians are there to make a huge difference, write their names in gold, and improve the masses' standard of living... their counterparts in naija are there to further impoverish their people and increase the sizes of their own bank accounts.

Even after campaign and being sworn in, US leaders still do most of these things as their schedules permit. It's a normal thing for their Presidents to go for district schools sport festival, visit ailing and sick people in the hospitals, and so on.

Smartini:
Everyone complaining about his big belly and accusing him or rituals and drugs, yet you and your 6 packs/hunger-influenced abs is busy typing from your face-me-I-slap you room in Mushin

Put 100 ladies in front of him and you, and see how many women will go for him Poverty no dey shame you again?

Having access to even 1,000 ladies or being able to attract them for free can never be an achievement. Everyone who thinks right knows that such ladies who go for a man only because of the size of his pocket are less responsible and sensible themselves.

Six packs or big, pot belly... I tell you six packs is still desirable even for the sake of health alone.

You don't want to experience health complications this kind of stature can bring to bear in the long run. Health is first.

Disclaimer: six-pack doesn't automatically equal to good health but overall, lean meat as they call it does.

Africa... Who did this to you?

Is the question really for comparison?

Sudan boasted more...
