It is amazing to see the reasonings of most people in clear shape. Of all the life lessons and worthy principles she mentioned that individuals hustling outside there can hold unto till they come to spotlight like she experienced personally, it is the sex-related subject which is less than 20% of the duration of her talks that many are dwelling aspect. It is amazing.

Gucciboss:
UK did not give USA independence. The Yankees chased them away from the 'new world' .

But they are still the same people sha. Just like pikin telling im papa and mama say enough is enough

Are you for real? At least Google is your friend. UK was mostly called Great Britain when US got independence from them. Have you heard before of American Revolutionary War? Argue with history Bro.

mabea:
Trump has German roots and not British

He couldn't have been referring to Trump but USA. UK gave USA independence along with other things.

Firgemachar:
US (Trump) is standing with their (elder) brother.

Trump has NEVER denied/despised his British roots.

But then, I think the US should just have stayed out of this.

Kudos to you.
History you know!

His opinion is not correct, of course. This is why the government of deceit being run by your gang has turned Nigeria around in the past years of being at the helm of decisions-making
Great minds think alike. Your disagreement on the opinion of a man who has more insight on building economies than all your cronies proves that you don't share similar mind. Yours clearly tends towards Lilliputian mind.

Competition

Exactly, it seems as competition. But by the way, it is media that's comparing not the individuals mentioned. The bottom line is, what is the wealth adding to humanity? If the answer is not glaring, then it is not really better than nigerian politicians money

Grace and Mercy are not same although they look alike.

Grace is already prepare package for All but it your choice and decision to access and subscribe for same 2 Corinthians12 vs 9 says...
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Mercy is released by God choices and decision. It has no known requirement to receive same.

Romans 9vs 15&16
For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

Good one. At least someone used Scriptures to justify explanation. Most comments are based on individual's perception.
Two are related, but not same.
Mercy is known much in Old Testament, while grace becomes known and revealed much in New Testament according to John 1:17, Jesus brought grace, this was why it wasn't truly known in the Old Testament.

But again, mercy which couldn't be easily accessed in the Old Testament became more accessible through Jesus Who brought grace to whoever who will be willing to receive grace, as it is written that we should come boldly to the throne of grace that we might obtain mercy, Hebrews 4:16;

Grace through Jesus introduced us to God's mercy. Grace works to save us through salvation, for mercy to deliver us from judgement as it is written that mercy rejoices over judgement, James 2:13; and by His mercy we are not consumed. Lam. 3:22

They work together.
And I believe there is more to them than we may know.
Thank God for His mercies and grace

Nonsense..
A pastor is first a christian..and we are told from the bible that God want all his children to prosper which includes pastors.
So take this your satanic inspired rubbish to the garbage. Pastors will buy more jets, have more money an continue to be a blessing as the have been, the hatred notwithstanding.

God bless every pastor labouring fervently in the vinyerd
God bless evey genuine church of God out there.

The haters, pharisees, saducees can jump into lagoon.

Seriously? Can you imagine this write-up? Imagine what someone wrote still quoting Scriptures to back it up?
So because Jesus was not described as being wealthy or rich in term of money in Gospels, He was a poverty-stricken Jesus?! Fear God please.
That He became poor that we might become rich meant He was begging bread or something? When did poverty become a gift from God to men of God?

It is evident that love of money for money sake is a sin; but it doesn't apply to just men of God, it applies to either men of God or children of God.
It is opinion like this which makes some think poverty is a virtue. If you see where poverty has dealt with people truly, you would know that lack of money is almost a sin. An hungry man has more tendency to commit sin to satisfy his hunger than you may think. Not just love of that makes people sin, even lack of it too.
Money is a reward, it flows in the direction of labour, either of a man of God, or a human made by God. The blessing of God is another dimension following a divine order.
As much as I didn't want to comment on a post such as this, or even limit whatever I write, I see me doing it.

He is a living legend, holding many Guinness book of records feats, hard to be broken. I do sincerely fear for him in his lethal stunts. But at same time, he is passing a strong message of being the best of oneself in one's doings.

Not a single prosecution to his name and mind boggling corruption still keeps taking place from the school feeding program , to unauthorised withdrawals from NNPC account , unauthorised withdrawals from TSA, till date the NNPC under Buhari is still running secret accounts where massive unsupervised corruption keep taking place , a non transparent unsupervised petrol subsidy running into trillion with out approval of any known legal body including the senate , to a president that has refused to submit his WAEC certificate till date and refuse to bet court orders at will, a govt that is bias in fighting terrorism in Nigeria , a govt that approves the use of Air force assets to provide air support for Fulani herdsmen on rampage ...Mr Buhari if this isn't the lost brazen corruption of our govt we have seen till date then what is ...Buhari your govt is super corrupt!!

The comments here cracked me up too much. Funny, yet thought-provoking!
Possibly not in ten generations to come would this part of the world catch up with these kind of inventions; not when knowledge is not a priority, and necessity-birthing-invention, a goal.

If many could choose, they would rather not wish to be born here...
Oh Africa... What is thy curse?
And Nigeria, what aileth thee irrecoverably?!

Ariel20:
Saw it on LinkedIn... Yawns

Exactly. The guy who shared the story on LinkedIn is in my network too, I wonder if he knows how bloggers have helped spread his story like harmattan wild fire. Bloggers can blog anything, with or without sense. They had to also post his picture along.
Surely, internet has produced many idiots more than it can account for.

I really really wished the VP could come around to read comments on nairaland about the thread of his, on being possibly the first born again VP.

Mostly after seeing the stances of people about being a born again. Either of these would have happened:
1. To sincerely resign because of his voice that has become dumbest than silence by cooperating with the evil of the day, and because it will soon be judged by history that the so-called born again vice never made any difference whatsoever.
2. To suddenly become awake from this sickening slumber and become a voice and an act that history will have in good record... Because, while not condemning the sacred faith, in the long run, it is not being born again that makes a nation great, it is rather doing the right thing at the right moment in rewriting for the better the story of humanity.

Your faith is personal, but at same time it tends towards being a selfish faith if it becomes polluted by the prevalent political stenches of the day, if you only join them not to make a difference but because you can't beat them.
No one cares about your religion forasmuch you make life better.

Rather being born again ought to have been a plus for the VP... But opposite seems the case, just now.

The dog bent on getting lost wouldn't heed the hunter's whistle. All for good. Sometimes you need to overreach to tip over, and then fall headlong.

Shegzy8:
which kind rubbish be this one na,how many of them met the economy in a mess, those top countries already have a system in place, they might be old but they are educated and have a foresight on how to run the economy and how to be productive..some leaders you placed above are not up to that age.

Thank you for speaking sense here.
Even a 60-year old leader in an advanced country will set most of our youths on their toes in knowledge base of how things should work. The oldies ruling here are of cavemen of the primitive era in comparison of their sheer ignorance.
Why comparing light and darkness?

IBB DEBUNKS STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BUHARI

My attention has been drawn to a report making rounds especially online in which I was quoted as advising Nigerians not to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the coming 2019 election.

Not only is the said statement untrue, it is in its entirety, an inaccurate representation of my view of the state of our dear Nation.

As a former President and an elder statesman, I have existing communication channels through which I reach out to President Muhammadu Buhari on topical issues of national importance, should there be the need so to do.

The media, both online or mainstream and indeed the unsuspecting public are advised to disregard such false reports.

Thank you and God Bless you all.

Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (Rtd) (GCON)
Former Military President Federal Republic of Nigeria

Hilltop Mansion

https://mrrightsng..com.ng/2018/02/ibb-debunks-statement-on-president.html

Possibly Nigerians should expect another denial of this same news by him. To start with, Babangida is not a GCON.
Most likely confusion is taking toll heavily on the spokesperson and the person spoken for, altogether.

What happens in the prison is a reflection of what is happening to the country as a whole.
In the advanced climes, they call prison department of correction, here it is house of horror, the closest to hell.
Nigeria and shame almost synonymous.

How will Nigeria get more of this rare man?
Most likely Nigeria would have been a better place if we had more of this Luther King spirit, vocal and fearless.
Nigeria, most religious and praying nation, with less commensurate positive changes. Strategies had better be changed.

Firstgentleman1:
What is the difference between six and half a dozen? Semantics. A third force involving same set of people, with same thinking and ideology that has set us on the path of perdition. What exactly do they have to offer?

Politicians Prostitution. Same old, rickety, froward folks. Changed container, same content.

You should have been bothered about your own candidate. Who is preventing PMB from making Nigeria great?

You are not a failure until you blame someone else for your situation.

Saint Ex President Obasanjo has spoken well.
In the least, let PMB also disown 2nd term bid or even resign now, for the records, so as to become a saint who could lend his voice of guidance to the president of the day.

What position is Mr. Trump ? I was thinking he will be in the top 10 richest person in the world. Dunno is a broke ass. Anyway I will join this gang very soon. Lemme go and come back. Sleeping mode activated !!!

Trump is not even among the first 50 richest ever since.
Though he is more outspoken than those who can change all his monies into coins.

Processor01:
My brother, please don't get carried away by the traditions of men as is practiced in most Naija churches. On nairaland here, they will try to bully you but I promise you, not one of them have any scriptural backing to prove their so-called 'restitution'.

There simply is no such requirement in the bible nor from God to his people in the new covenant. How many past events in their own lives have they undone?

Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

The question they should answer is if every Christian back in the days of the apostles had only one wife then why stress the above in 1 Tim 3:2? Don't give into such self-righteousness.

Thanks jare
It is evident in that scriptures that husband having more than a wife was prevalent then, thus a requirement to hold a post was limited to a man having just a wife, but from this scripture and anywhere else, where was it stipulated that a man should send away the rest wives? God of course knows the danger of a man being unable to manage his home very well if he had wives instead of just one, that was why an ideal Christian leader/overseer should be the one having just a wife which by default can control or manage his home well.

deco22:
Hate or like Trump,he has kept his promises to his supporters and am sure none of this people voted for him,so as long as he can still keep his promises to those who voted him,the protests are inconsequential to him.


Only problem is the man likes to run his mouth too much,if not he is the perfect definition of a working president.

He is FFK version of the United States.
He might have fulfilled some campaign promises, but many who voted him in have changed their minds about him. Some holding this march to protest would have voted him. He doesn't look nor represent American values. Some things are expected of an American President which are not typical of him.
But some records he has set also can't be taken from him.

That's theirs. Nigeria is by far peculiar. Trump is better than hundreds of the present leader in the African most populous nation.

Abati isn't wrong,

But while he was there,he messed up...now he is pontificating
Adeshina will be the same because he is following same path

Easier to see things when outside,same as buhari and his party.

Very true.

Not that it is easier to see things outside, but rather that in this part of the world, 'you don't bite the fingers that feed you' is the order of the day. While in the advanced climes, when your ideology is being questioned by the person who appointed you and you know you differ by the thing he does, you could take a walk honourably by resigning. But in Nigeria, NEVER. It is rather an opportunity to become wealthy and momentarily relevant.
