This post makes me fear for BIAFRA - It is an accident waiting to happen.

Many think it's greener on the other side until you get there.

I have always wondered how the wise men from the east will handle land matters, when the multitudes return home upon actualization of Biafraland and want to settle. The reality of Population/Land ratio will take its toll, not to talk of loss of market access in the immediate!

Some claim they are Jews, without learning from the debacle of Israel after exit from Egypt.

Problem started when they wanted to choose the correct God to serve. They will certainly mob Nnamdi Kanu!

Then came the wars between Judah and Israel after the game of Thrones started.

The Holy Bible is a prophetic reference for anyone wishing for BIAFRA.

For unbelievers in the scriptures, the Old USSR is a viable treatise!

Let's nurture Nigeria together and face the real enemy - the gluttonous Nigerian leadership,together with the World leaders manipulating the the national resources and encouraging our leaders to loot!

The USA, Britain, France are all spent forces milking Nigeria dry and sucking our blood for survival! They are the real enemy!

For those who regard this post as useless, it has been really enlightening for us non-Igbos!

On this matter, maybe God is using The Nigerian Police to extract Justice here on earth in advance before the final judgement! Poetic Justice; Karma; Recompence; etc.

Personally, I will not hold them culpable!

Good article with good intention. BAD Delivery!!!

My grouse - using different versions of the Bible in a single article is capable of causing confusion, thereby sneaking into the subject subtle misrepresentation. This was the skill adopted by the serpent in Genesis to confuse Eve and cause the first great fall.

I wander why you will imply that God is interested in DATING! God is only interested in COURTSHIP! Dating is a modern era adumbration of the concept of premarital relationships.

I also wonder about the grammar usage in many of the verses according to the version cited. For instance, I prefer the King James Version of Proverbs 4:23, which reads 'keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life! -clear, unambiguous presentation!

Are you trying to make God a liar? How can you be watching 24 season 15 and claim a sleeping trick is not working for you? One of the simple rules of sleep is you get TV out of your sleep-cocoon and never watch TV 30mins before bedtime! The heavens (not Heaven) help those who help themselves!

Other useful tips - stop using electronic devises, e.g. smartphones, 30mins before sleep time;
Make your cocoon as conducive as possible -low lights, low or no noise, cool air, sweet smell, etc;
My favourite tip - think on your past pleasurable events or imaging pleasant things you wish for!

If all else fails, pick up your Bible and read the genealogies (Gen 5, Gen 11, 1Chr 6, Ezra 7)

If you still do not sleep, then you may be an enemy of God (Ps 127v2b: for so He giveth His beloved sleep!) -Go for deliverance sharp sharp!

It is Corruption not to disclose to Nigerians, it is Nigerian money that is sustaining him there.

Not so my brother - you jump to conclusions too soon! I'm certain you did not attend the fundraising action of those 5 beautiful cows that was used to raise the money for the medical tourism.

Part was even from the balance recovered from one grass-cutter farmer.

Mind you the supposed ailment is a minor one -Some headache and a bit of hearing disturbance - all to be expected of a frail old but gallant soldier man.

I'm not sure anybody can beat me in chess.

Looked long and hard at your profile pix - you've no nose for mates; no element of chess found! Not even a mere queen's indian!

You wouldn't even id a mate in one if your life depends on it!

With all due respect, dear Christian Elders, Kindly stop asking man to reveal to you what God would freely reveal, if you have the Holy Spirit as your guide.

Stop making statements that portray our hard-earned Christianity as powerless and a fraud! I expected purported powerful Men of God, Prophets and religious Seers to have revealed to Buratai and his gallant soldiers the precise location of Shekau (if he really exists) or the Chibok Girls (if real, dead or alive).

Or is there no longer a prophet in this Israel called Nigeria? Young Christians are beginning to wonder if all these seers (who will tell your name and how much God will reward you if you sow your 'seed' the very moment you step into their cocoon Auditoriums) to know something as simple as the health status of our dear President without breaking a sweat.

I remember the particular case of a King in the Holy Book, who demanded from his Seers, Prophets and Wise men to relate to him the dream he had the previous night (which incidentally, he the dreamer had forgotten). The genuine prophet aced the test and even revealed both the dream and its meaning!

In any case, if they are really serious about knowing the truth, let them contribute 25% of their collective tithes for just a week to me. I will fast and pray to my God, and he will tell me all they want/need to know! He will also reveal to me any one that cheats me as well as by how much - no jokes!

The President and his handlers had asked them to pray for his health. If they had complied, this request would not be necessary. God would have revealed the sickness and if He (God) would heal the President or not.

The main trouble with Nigeria is crass insincerity and everybody playing politics with everything. Even the President started fumbling from the onset when he declared that "I belong to nobody and I belong to everybody", all in the same breadth! What a fallacy! What a recipe for failure and anarchy!

OP,
Can you confirm you were having it unprotected when you were both dating (before) her current husband 'impregnated' her? ...Equation 1;
Can you also confirm the Husband was richer or more prosperous than you when you broke up with her due to the pregnancy? ...Equation 2

If Equation 1 is true, Now substituting equation 1 into 2, the conclusion is that the child resulting from the pregnancy is yours!
If Equation 1 is false, the child is not yours

Conclusion: Whether equation 1 is true or false, the child does not belong to the husband. it was a marriage of convenience now turned into inconvenience. The husband is probably broke because he has been mounting another man's pregnancy (confirmed myth!)

Run far away from her, lest a worse fate befall you as well!

Now that all sides have given their submissions, and having carefully listened to all arguments, here is my Judgement:

1. Mother of the victim should be sent to prison for 9 months without the option of a fine.

2. The preg gnat beautieist is hereby stripped of all motherhood rights - the two children should be forfeited to government, her unborn child should also be forfeited to the state if delivered safely. Her marriage certificate (if any) is hereby revoked and the marriage terminated immediately.

3. The villian Woman should be sentenced to supervised hard labour at the toughest Orphanage known to the state and she should serve without pay, except for just enough food to keep her alive until the owner of her soul (God or Satan) comes to claim it.

I rise!

I wonder why everyone seem concerned only about her beauty and age. I find Rita to be one of the most intelligent Nigerian Actresses. She also seems to have climbed unto a different realm with her productions. These two attributes are all important in a person, especially a woman!

Hope her personality is also good. I pray she gets more fulfillment in her career!

I wonder why everyone is quick to decline? To me it depends upon the circumstances.

If the Lamb could be bought with insurance rights, I bet everyone will change their opinion. Have you considered the possibility of buying it with the option to backdate the purchase to a date before the fire disaster? We have not been told if the Lamb just got burnt?

There may be other circumstances that will make it profitable at the stated price!

I will never opt to buy a Picanto for N6.5m. I've always preferred buying fairly used cars (1 - 3 years) after first purchase. My reasons include the opportunity to enjoy an 80% value at about 50% price. It also ensures adequate dissemination of maintenance and safety know-how. I consider the users of brand-new cars as 'guinea pigs', if you get my meaning!

Dear brethren, I state categorically, that if The Muslim Prophet claims to be the other comforter promised by Christ, then He is the Impostor or antichrist.

My logic is this - most Muslims belief that Jesus was saying the truth when He promised to send another comforter., but are also taught to wrongly believe Jesus was just another high prophet! Now there is no prophet in history, who has powers to send another prophet. What prophet means is messenger! if he was just a prophet, why would he have power to send another prophet? The definition of a Prophet is a messenger of God! Now if the Prophet Mohammad is the promised comforter, then how come it is difficult to believe Jesus, who sent him, is God?

Most Muslims believe Jesus is not the son of God - they think only in the physical, they think being a son means same as the physical birth process, which necessarily involves sex;

Most Muslims belief the reference to the Comforter as 'He' means he is a man! This is the grievous error! The reference to gender is actually means the mode of manifestation. God is masculine in nature, so is Jesus. The earth is feminine in nature so it is a she.
Let our Muslim brothers realize that what the Holy Spirit, the promised 'another Comforter' comforter does is to teach and reveal the otherwise unknown. He transcends the physical Plane to reveal things of the Spirit and thus renders a person super-natural! The Holy Spirit is not a physical teacher that prescribes how you should sleep, wake up, wash your hands or relate to your neighbour physically. All these rules and recommendations are already innate in mankind.

You do not need a Prophet to teach you how to marry or divorce or pray - Jesus already did that. But the Holy Spirit will reveal to you what to pray about among so many options. The Holy Spirit will help you to pray when you are physically to weak or overwhelmed by your situation. The Holy Spirit reveals the Secrets of the enemy to you and how best to counteract it.

What Jesus promised was another Comforter, who will empower a believer to DO GREATER THINGS than Jesus was able to accomplish while on earth.
'
The confusion with most Muslims is the same as that of those fervent Jews, who crucified Jesus erroneously for 'blasphemy'

The other day, I was discussing with a Muslim sister how Jesus was both Man and God while on earth. She could not understand this mystery. It was the same reason Satan was fooled into crucifying Him, thereby losing the grip of his power of sin and death!

If he had known the truth, he would not have allowed the crucifixion. Even Peter in his ambivalence almost fell into the same trap -he tried to fight his way out with a sword, but Jesus Christ saved him. Unfortunately Judas could not be saved. He expected Jesus to use His Godly powers to save Himself, thus making the fee he collected for betraying Jesus a dash! Alas he was caught up in the game as Jesus forewarned.

Instead of repenting and crying to Jesus for salvation, he tried to right the error by taking his own life, thereby making permanent his error!

My Muslim brothers, believe Jesus Christ the way the Bible originally records His journey on earth instead of questioning the authenticity of the book of John or who the comforter really is! The Comforter is not a Man (Prophet of Teacher)! He is the Holy Spirit, who came on the day of Pentecost and has never left mankind. He empower illiterates and semi-illiterates to become instant professors and linguists.

thinkmoney:
My brother for your sake and others, pls stop propagating the teaching of the Devil unwittingly. The bible clearly teaches that God and Jesus are two different being God his the FATHER, while Jesus is the SON.
To further understand this, the story of Abraham and Isaac was a pointer to the sacrifial death of Christ.
Was Isaac the same as Abraham? Did they have the same authority?
The king James version as some shortcomings about its translation. Its an old translation, written in an old English language and at a time when ability to research as not improve to the level we have now.
Mind you the original word of God is unchangeable and it influence never wane.
I love you.

My brother, I humbly submit you are the one in GRAVE DANGER of the same error of those that killed Jesus!

John 10: 30 I and my father are one ....
John 10: 38 ...the Father is in Me and I in Him.

The last portion explains what it means to be one (or same) with God. It is inability to understand or accept this concept that made them crucify Jesus, thinking He blasphemed!

Going by your analogy of Abraham and Isaac, my answer is yes -they are the same. This is why Christians can boldly sing the war song
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;
Jehovah the Man of WAR;
His Blessings endureth for ever and ever;
O praise His Holy Name!

Every Jew saw the three as one and a continuum! They have too many things in common for you to be able to differentiate them!

Mujtahida:
Is it not weird that with all our wickednesses we forgive when we do forgive without asking for human or animal sacrifice yet the loving father must scent his aroma of sacrifices before he can forgive. For me ehn sin is to hurt your fellow human beings, to do them wrong, to do them evil or even to do evil to yourself - that's what sin is to me. The idea that we sin against God is pure bullshit.

I do not fully understand the concept. My take is this:

Jesus Christ is that part of God that is Justice. Many people (especially of other religions) find it difficult to understand the concept that though their is only of true God Almighty, He can exist in more than one form and still be complete depending on the realm of existence!

God had to lower that part without breaking the code that holds the entire universe. God did not sacrifice His Son, rather, the Son (God) sacrificed Himself to Himself - meaning that He lowered the standard of Justice (eye for eye. blood for blood, etc) on the temporal plane, to create a backdoor for mankind to regain entrance into the spiritual Kingdom of God. The new condition is that to pay-back this debt (shortfall) those that will pass through that door must become Christlike (born-again Christians). This 'Christianinty' unfortunately is not as most people (Christians, Muslins, Budhist, etc) of today understand it. The spiritual Christian has no religious demarcation. Anyone who quilifies can enter through this spiritual gateway back into Eden (Spiritual Heaven) and eat the promised fruit of life eternal.

Sorry that this forum may not be proper to fully understand this concept, but you can liken it to a can that broke down and needs a new battery to jumpstart it. Thereafter the old battery of car must be restored to newness, if the breakdown is not to be repeated! This is the meaning of Resurrection - The shedding of the blood is to avail those in need of it to get a new life.

Christ gave the blood and the flesh to His inner Disciples first before making it publicly available. He also order us to do this ritual often in memory of Him!

sonmvayina:
A sacrifice to end all sacrifice
..problem though, while will God, sacrifice his son to himself to appease himself, so that he can forgive his servants..

It is human folly to try and understand or prove everything, including things that have been in existence far too long (quoting the man reputed to be wisest so far - King Solomon)

Just like an iceberg, barely just about 10% is visible while the major part is embedded under the surface. Most learned people and scholars find out too late that the more you know, the more you find the need to know more, until information overload explodes in your head!

There are too many things in life that we already know. Each stream of knowledge is more than enough to enrich an individual and humanity stupendously.

There was a time I tried to rationalise the Universe, which virtually has no limit. My thinking was why would something have no boundaries? Then I concluded that if it has boundaries, what would exist beyond the boundary - another expedition into the unknown.

Moral of this discuss is that no single individual can explain or prove all things in existence. The world is of necessity full of unexplained mysteries, which the Bible explains belong to God. A king (or would-be King) must seek them out, but only God decides whether to reveal then, to whom and when!

I pity the so-called atheists on this forum. God is using them to prove Himself. They are unwittingly playing the vessel of dishonour, thinking they are so knowing and smart!

This Otobo saga reminds me of how they nailed Jesus Christ to the cross! Many are shouting crucify him! Crucify him!!Crucify him!!! This is based mainly on the evidence of a self-acclaimed concubine who was supposedly jilted! The timing is also so auspicious! People supposedly with brains cannot reason that what is her pains and why now (about one year after the supposed fact!)

The people with valid locus standi, to my mind are The Apostle's legal wife; the 'victim's' family and the Church whom the Apostle shepherds. None of these has made claims for loss or restitution. Rather they are disclaiming the victim.

How come the victim did not cry out until she was arrested for blackmail? How come at such a tender age she is already in a relationship with a renowned man of God and almost getting to become a second wife? What's her real mission and who empowered her to be so bold and daring at such a young age.

She claims the man is a ritualist, but she is alive and well and also bold enough to dare him. This suggests to me she must be more ritualistic or powerful. Then who really is this young woman?

Dear all, I guess your disposition to this saga may well suggest whether you will make heaven or not! Whose report do you believe?

This is the hour and the power of darkness, but thank God they didn't get to Mrs Suleiman first. That's where God hid his victory! That's the true purpose of a man's real life partner!

RosaConsidine:
I haven't confirmed who is instituting the suit but neither case bodes well for the apostle. If it's his lawyers dragging her to court on blackmail and sundry charges, then, as I said, it's not exactly the kind of charges you would expect if she wasn't actually telling the truth.

If it's the public prosecutor charging her to court however, it does leave one wondering why the pastor's lawyers are yet to sue for libel/defamation of character after so long. Ms. Otobo is still granting interviews left, right and center, each interview coming with more damaging accusations and, if the apostle is indeed sure she's lying, then a libel suit at the very least should have been filed......unless she's not lying.

Libel and/or defamation of character are mostly torts (civil offenses), which mostly results in awards of compensation and possibly an order to retract the libelous objects.

It would be an exercise in futility for a person of the apostle's status to sue a very 'low level' person for such compensation which will hardly materialize. The better cause is to establish a crime for which such a person will do time!

In any case, it would be highly risky for the man of God to pursue the course of libel where it may be possible he may have had untoward dealing with the lady in question or any other extra-marital affair whatsoever! Even if this was not so, a trial for libel will afford the lady an opportunity to dig up more dirt and focus public scrutiny of the gentleman, which is bad for his image or those of his associates.

Whenever one is challenged to a fight by a pig, the reasonable man should take a decoy! You have nothing to prove by falling the pig on its back!

I'm shocked at the lack of clarity most people are displaying here!

What is at stake is whether there was blackmail or not. The burden of proof is on Apostle Suleiman. It looks like the behaviour and media campaign so far unleashed on the Apostle will make it easier for his lawyers to demonstrate malicious intent by the young lady.

All that is left is to prove how the threat was delivered (and any consequential exchange of benefits will add up to the proof).

The mistake many are making is that this case has to do with the innocence or otherwise of the gentleMANOFGOD. He does not have to proof his innocence at all. Blackmail is a crime on its own. It usually rest on some secret information between the two parties. In this case, any untoward behaviour of the Apostle known to the young lady (eg his amorous affairs with any of the purported mistresses would serve as the basis for the blackmail.

ehissi:
Like the way he appointed groomed and dedicated Amaechi for Minister of Transport ba?

Or Fayemi for Minister of Mines and Steel?

Or Barr Shittu as Communications Minister that wants to put Satellite for data storage Abi na flash drive for $550million or Audu Ogbeh that imported brazilian grass for fulani herdsmen with $1.5million or Solomon Dalung or able sport minister.........

Truth is all you need is 'a few good men' in your team. The reason why good is better than evil is that a little of it is enough to obliterate a vast array of evil.

The Poet Denis Brutus wrote 'our pride-dumb mouths are grateful for the least relieve from pain' You see my fellow Nigerians, the vast darkness of the universe only make the stars shine more brightly. A star cannot shine in a lighted sky! This philosophy is the basis of the courage of good and valiant men.

Buhari himself must realise he cannot solve all problems in Nigeria by himself. His key usefulness lies in his integrity, which formed the rallying point through which the opposition succeeded in upstaging the former government that was being swallowed up in impunity.

Mind you, it will be over-simplistic to blame Jonathan alone. Recall how he came to power after being seriously compromised before the 'doctrine of necessity' was eventually evoke.

The key source of limitation for Nigerian leaders in government is that they are mostly seriously compromised before the emerge. Your reference to some members of the cabinet did not put this in perspective. I believe some of them would not have made the team if not for necessary compromises predating Buhari's accendancy. He tried on his own thrice without success, before aligning with other forces to access the presidency!

I think we all require some education on what leadership entails.

The task of the leader is to provide a clear vision, assemble the right team to actualize the vision and motivate them to achieve.

Other responsibilities include protecting his team from the consequences of following his directions, spelling out the desirable characteristics required to excel, measuring and managing performance, rewarding excellence and accepting responsibilities for failures.

One of the greatest problems with leadership in Nigeria is the tradition of leaders always taking credit for successes by team members and looking for scapegoats for failures! How come virtually all the lieutenants of President Jonathan are facing one charge of corruption or the other but the head of the regime is yet to be indicted? Neither has he come out with any public statement in their defense!

The ability of a leader to allow his subordinates to shine is a rare quality of an uncommon leader. I do not believe it is mere coincidence that Buhari allows his lieutenants to shine - it is a quality of exceptional leadership.

In the Bible, the wisest man, King Solomon, used this same skill to achieve the construction of that phenomenal temple reputed to the one of the greatest wonders of ancient history. He used expert artisans and craftsmen from far and wide to achieve the object, after spelling out the vision to them.

All wise and successful leaders of today uses the same instrument of leverage -talk of Bill Gates & Co. See how to sprang into action to confront the new American President Donald Trump, whose immigration policy was going to restrict their access to the worldwide pool of talents! Dangote of our own jurisdiction here also adopts the same strategy to rapidly expand his business empire!

I am completely scandalised by this ranting from an otherwise intelligent man. Hitherto, I had excused Abati on the grounds that he was merely doing his job trying furtively in defending the Jonathan Admin.

With benefit of hindsight, I'm now convinced Abati's mind has been befuddled with filthy lucre.

His earlier treatise on the Aso Rock Demons served our purpose of understanding the rapacious assault on Nigeria by Jona and his gangsters better!

This current attempt to glamorize the despicable rape on our commonwealth by the ex administration confirms Abati as a willful accomplice to murder. Posterity will not spare you, Mr ABATI!

I wonder how or why the Jonathan admin preferred to squander billions on fuel importation instead of building modern refineries, if they didn't have any backdoor benefit?

JosephYbholy:
This is cool bro!

The OP seems incapable of stringing any sentence in the English language without an error.

BUT I'm impressed with his ideas and apparent knowledge of his subject. I'm also convinced he will succeed in his line (if not already successful). My advise is that he should get a good grammarian into his team ASAP!

Incidentally, I have a close friend who writes fairly well but lacks the confidence. So he bugs me often to help him check his writings. During such interactions, I often discover my personal presumptuous errors!

The moral here is that we should all appreciate the good in each other and learn to lean on others for support in our areas of weakness!
Recall that popular definition of TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More!

silastemplar:
in both cases they were reported to have gone against lagos state regulation on construction. They are both culpable

The two cases are both in court and being prosecuted. My argument is about who the Govt is facing -in both cases the Builders!.

Also, I wonder what Kemi is trying to achieve by dragging Gov. Ambode into the matter that was already investigated and taken to court before he came into office.

Is Kemi also recommending her father for Hell-Fire? I am aware one or two people died during his regime. Let's all be aware that governance is not about the headship alone, rather about the system and teams of people running the system.

In America of recent, the new President Trump gave an executive order for people to be deported and stopped from gaining entrance into the States. An 'unknown' judge somewhere tramped his foot on the order and that was it! That's how systems should work. The Law had it's way!
So why should we hold a governor responsible for what the system could not resolve.

It is this same reasoning that makes me believe the current 'war on corruption' will not succeed unless a system approach is adopted.

Most of the current 'villians' to me are merely victims of systemic corruption. For instance, a large portion of the monies stolen by NSA Dasuki was not for his personal use but for his party's purposes (and most likely) at the behest of his boss. Failure on his part to follow this track would be termed disloyal and against the collective decision of the party. So the problem is the democratic system that allows moneybagism!

We need to audit our systems and thought processes.

Please let's be reasonable here. Last time I check, the 'Pastor' MOG was not the contractor building the property. He was the owner!

A homicide case is a criminal case where the suspect is the one directly involved. If he was contracted specifically for the act, then his principal would be held responsible as well.

The difference between the two cases is that one was a Pastor who contracted a builder who messed up. The other was a Builder/ Contractor who messed up. The best the Government can achieve is professional negligence or manslaughter - neither case carries the death penalty.

I hold no brief for MoG Joshua, but I think we should mourn with him, rather than call for his head.

In the second case, Government should seek to identify the factors that contributed to the collapse and deaths as a means to forestalling future incidences rather than aim to find cause to kill the owner. Nobody builds his property with intent to kill random people!

We should realise the real culprits for these crimes may actually be far removed from these enquiries and prosecutions and free enough to contribute to another tragedy!

Diplomaticbeing:
It's very unfortunate that an average Nigerian is perfidious. SMH! A people that mistakes perfidiousness for smartness can never experience sustainable growth/progress. Opportunism is evil. Honesty remains the best policy in business - and one cannot be smart without being honest.

@OP; Your supposed friend will be doing more harm to himself in particular and his company at large should he allow such atrocity to continue.

If I were him I would gather every necessary hard facts against the treacherous man and then call him to order in the best private and polite manner - I'll try to make him see reasons why he should desist from engaging in such a nefarious acts, and of course with a starn promise - not warn - to blow a whistle if he decides to continue in his evil ways.

What a subordinate owe's his boss is loyalty not servility . . . This is for those that do misinterpret the "never outshine your master" mantra at any given time.

If your life mission doesn't include leaving any environment and person better than you me them, believe you me that you're missing something great.

Your advise is good on the surface but the first rule in dating the Devil is to use a very Long fork, if you must.

Such treacherous characters will pretend to comply and find a way to get rid of the obstacle and then continue their debauchery. It is like toying with a snake. You need to deal a snake with a fatal blow the first time or else you risk getting bitten!

oge4real:
After reading all the comments, it finally dawned on me that THERE IS NO HOPE FOR NIGERIA!!!

Dear Friend, there is hope for Nigeria!

OP, my advise is that you gather incontrovertible evidence, and walk in on the highest officer of the company without invitation. Confront him with the evidence and demand immediate action.

Do not bother about losing your job, because from my more than 20 years' experience, jobs don't make you rich, but uncommon action does!

If you fear losing your job, consider there are more than 20 million jobless Nigerians, all alive thou suffering some inconveniences, but the GOd of Nigeria and the Creator of that Company is counting on you.

If you lose your job eventually, send your cv to abv001@gmail.com

Also consider that nobody has advised that you will lose your life. If you feel threatened, report to the Police as well!

Godspeed!

ZoneBslayer:
I bet you that most of the people commenting here are bereft of analytical reasoning and common sense.. that is why they can believe even the most stupid lies from politicians..so diezani used about 20 billion naira to build a house?? how much is the residential building of the president worth?

Dear Poster, Wake up and believe! I know of a Company that rented office space in that Island at N25 Billion naira for a 5-Year tenor! You also must have heard of a popular blogger that bought a flat in that area for about half a billion. So why is it difficult to believe a mansion can cost 20billion? Each flat in that property is rented at USD150K per annum, so do the maths!

I use this medium to sympathise with those who joined the match in the recent protest. Your effort, though necessary in view of current situation of things was misdirected. Oga Charlie just realised this after the debacle. The real villians are we Nigerian masses who are so docile to acquiesce to nonsense. We are now grumbling against the sanitary cleaners while ignoring those who defecated in our property.

Although I agree that these our hired sanitary workers are not making the best efforts, but at least they are trying! The wind is very strong so it is difficult to prevent the oozing stench from pervading our atmosphere until the job is done.

On our part, we need to keep eternal vigilance - how the locals living close to where $9.8 million was stashed could not discover and loot it, but instead were busy blaming the Government of the day beats me. It is these kind of corruption that explains the inexplicable downward slide of the naira against the dollar - my opinoin though!

I find the list very naive, unrealistic or even mischievous (except for No 19).

For instance, No says 'avoid looking as the back, front or.. of another woman - you should have suggested that men should go about in blindfold! Else how can this be possible when most women today go about half-clad and the full clad ones wear dresses that are transparent or so tight you can effortlessly configure their nudity in technicolour!

Another advise says you should not make a fellow of the opposite sex your best friend? They don't need to be best friends before they can compromise you, rather it is the casual ones that are most dangerous. The way to rule out any form of relationship with the opposite sex is to be gay (not recommended).

I could go on and on with each point. But the real truth is that marriages will continue to suffer and most likely run out of fashion with advancements in technology, pressure for gender equality and disorders in the natural hierarchy expected in societies.

Families today lack clear cut line of command with women demanding for equality with the men in marriages, whereas their can be not peace or good progress in any craft (aircraft, seacraft, withcraft, etc) where the line of authority is unclear!

Also, most humans are becoming more and more individualistic and self-centric, therefore limiting capacity to achieve the kind of unity that threatened the Heavens as in The Towel of Babel case study (The Biblical Book of Genesis Chap11 Vs 1-9)

The future of family life is predicted in the Biblical Book of Isaiah Chap4 V1 -that as things progress along this trajectory, seven women to one man shall be the norm and it will be a thing of shame for any unattached woman!

Pity I got into this thread rather late.
I thank the OP for this provocative subject. In my personal interactions with a muslim sister, my mind has been opened wider to some deep truths. Although I haven't gotten around to confronting her with the truth (I'm hoping she would be hit with the realities just the same way our exchanges have helped me).

A few things have become clear:
1. most serious muslims seem to know more about the letters of the Bible than the average christian;
2. the average muslim takes religion more seriously than the average christian (hence hard - like the Judaist of the old testament)
3. the Quor'an seem to be an imitation of the literal content of the Old testament
4. no Muslim dares deny the spiritual authority of Jesus - the worst they can go is deny his Godship.

In order to reconcile the genuine muslims to the truth about Christ, I want to make clear some of the confusion they have about Jesus Christ:

The name Jesus, is the name of man, hence the muslims are some what correct to say he is not God. He was just a human image or reflection of God, like you and I. His level of human capacity qualify him as a Prophet as the muslims claim. But as a human, he was much more that a Prophet (He was also a Doctor, Teacher/Rabbi, Pastor/Shepherd, Priest, etc)

Jesus came to earth to live with us humans to diagnose our human malady. He came as Christ (Saviour). His mandate was captured in the Book of
Luke Chapter 4, verse 18&19[b] …18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 20Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,… [/b] THis is comparable to the scripture in Isaiah Chapter 61 verse 1 -3.

The easiest way to explain the duality/duplicity of the personality of Jesus Christ to anyone who has not studied the Bible or read through from start to finish is to consider that he was a normal man just like you and I, on earth. But before this, he emerged from God, directly, pure without sin. This was why we had to merge with humanity by coming through the womb. Then he obtained the power of God (His Spirit of Holiness) through Baptism. What this does is to give any man who obtain the same gift to have the ability to be exactly as God.

After completing His mission on earth, He returned to be with his father (by the spirit). Then the man called Jesus, had His name elevated among men in His confirmation as Christ the Saviour, due to His obedience and submission to the will of God. This is why He warned that there is no other name by which men shall be saved. He is the only one who up to date has warned that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Muslims have been misled to think God has no son. Even ordinary me, I am a Son of God and joint heir with Jesus. All true believers are sons of God and gods unto ordinary men! God made Moses/Musa to become a God to the then almighty Pharaoh.

In my opinion, most serious muslims should score higher in the religion realm, but are limited in capacity due to the absence of the Holy Spirit. They operate by the letters of the Law (which kills/limits) rather than the spirit of the Law (which liberates and render unlimited)

Also in my opinion, most christians DO ABUSE the liberty that they have in Christ, thereby denying the power of the Holy Spirit to make them unlimited. This is the crux of the matter and the confusion we have between these two principal religion in Nigeria today.

It is virtually impossible to explain these issues in full within the limits of this forum, so I will understand anyone who may be confused. But I pray for all who would be saved that The Almighty God, creator of Heavens and the Earth, most benevolent and merciful, will reveal His truth to all who are worthy of His Salvation.

I could've pitied the couple if only the bride didn't find it funny enough to lol. A great opportunity to deal hidden traps and enemies of the union has just been flunked.

The purposed of the Minister's routine announcement is to make peace, but alas, the one who needs the peace most has just declared war. Any one hating the union will simply hibernate and wait for the opportune moment, knowing now that the groom packs a pipe!

My G.O. made it compulsory to learn this PSALM 34 by rote, some 20 years ago ...

A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.
34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing
