Do you know that the FA cup in South Africa is worth $350,000? yes you heard me, $350k is the amount the winner of their FA cup get.


$350,000 is equivalent to N61, 950, 000 which 700,000 rand or there about.


Our league title amount is not even up to 25% of the amount the FA winner get in SA.

Kano pillars only got N15M as the league champion.

I know for sure the FA cup winner won't get up to N5M (I suspect N1M )

So Dolphins don't have fans on nairaland? what a pirry

dominique:
Yeah I saw the elephants bus around ilupeju today and was wondering what they could be doing in Lagos. If only I live close enough to the stadium.... wishing them victory tomorrow. Nsogbu!

Meaning the passion is not deep enough for your team Enyimba, i cant be in Lagos and kano pillars would be playing and i won't be there live yet claim to be a fan!

toluxa1:
I thought the match is 6pm. Some people are saying 3pm again

How can it be 6pm? its 4pm.

I thought the game is scheduled for 4pm? why am i seeing 6pm here? the female FA cup has just been completed and i know there's always a 1-2hours interval to the next game.

Time should be 4pm and not 6pm.

Poznan:
Is ur 'born again' bigger than the bible? The bible says the rule is: death or adultery may end a marriage. U want to give another intepretation? Or was a separate bible written for 'born agains'

Seems you're not getting me, i am not for "born again" eish, i was only telling the person i quoted to understand the OP is asking for the opinion of people based on christian doctrine.

Jeezuzpick:
Sir, you gotta Bible, right?

Read John Chapter 3 Verse 3.

What is your take on what you just read?

You seems not to understand.. To be a Christian, you must be born again, true or false?
Part of the requirements to being a christian is to be born of water and of the holy spirit.
The apostles were not called "born of again Christians" there were called "Christians".
Become christ-like and you won't need to use born again to qualify yourself.

boolet:
Who is a "born again" Christian"? Should a "born again" Christian be a "punching bag"?

There is nothing like a born again Christian, it's just a word conned out by those who are struggling to stand out as a christian in the midst of other "Christians" and non Christians at large.

freecocoa:
You are the one getting it wrong, I need you to understand that people can become what they never were or thought they'd be, there are factors that can contribute to that.

So tell me, those hardened criminals that later became pastors/preachers, the good girl that became a wh*re, the christian that became an atheist, the atheist that became a christian, etc?

These are divine interventions.. They were visited by a force (spiritual) that overpowered their weaknesses which was possible because they themselves wanted to be saved by God himself. Your comparison is not applicable in this issue.

Now can you compare this kind of change to that of a man or woman pretending to be mild only to show their true colors when they achieve their aim?

Can you become an armed robber? To become an armed robber is an after thought, it didn't happen overnight, it must have been formulated in your mind, debated and discussed in your spirit you before a stand to be a criminal is achieved.

Lastly on this.. I repeat, no one changes overnight, what you are today was as a result of multiple things you did, didn't do, acted on or didn't act on yesterday.. You're only manifesting the you of yesterday today.

agabaI23:
A question

What about a situation where a brother marries a sister(vice versa) because the s/he faked born again only to revert after the vow. Is that not deception? No love in that marriage at all.

Take a girl who was desperate to get a surname. And after that tells the guy 'you think you have made a mistake marrying me? Sorry you are wedded in church there is no going back. That you are married is that you are married.' Then she goes ahead to deal with guy the way she likes.....true story that happened to a friend

OBVIOUSLY that should be your fault for not watching and praying as the bible (manual) advise us to.

The bible also says "be sober and vigilant"

Also pray for a decerning spirit.

Lastly, The partner we end up with is the quality of our decisions. If you're with a bad partner, obviously other things in your life should be checked too because of the quality of your decisions.

freecocoa:
Oh really? This is interesting.

Now let me get something straight o, you totally disagree with the phrase "change is constant"? And I'm not talking of over night change, you married him/her and he/she showed no traits of a beast, after marriage, the change started coming gradually and then bam! the beast appeared. What say you?

You're getting it wrong.. What I am saying is that what you become tomorrow was partly you today. It doesn't happen instantly. A violent person didn't become violent overnight.. Check his or her past, you'd find a trait of violence..

Even in the present, he or she posses violent traits in the way they talk or act but may not show it until when they decide to be the real them.

Lastly, reason people say "he or she changed or has changed" is because most people see dating and courting as a period where you are to be at your best character rather than a place where you are to show who you are to your partner. Dating and courting is suppose to be a mock or sample marriage and not where people come to pretend to be angels.

Until we start seeing dating and courting as where the average us is expected to be manifested, the word "he has changed" won't stop.

freecocoa:
And people don't change e kwa? What happens when that christian brother/sister changes to a monster?

Nope, he or she didn't change, rather he or she only manifested what he or she has been from the word go.

our actions are the physical manifestation of our inner being. what we are in the spirit is what we manifest in the physical.

You can spot people's mindset just from communicating with them.. their utterance, their views on general issues and experiences, the act and all that. no one changes overnight, part of the "hidden" them can be spotted if you're careful enough.

Busybody2:
Separation is only allowed for limited period such as for fasting.



Exactly Honeric01
This is why the Bible States it is better to be unmarried so one can make Heaven. We are to work our own salvation with trembling. Or what is the point of you being a Holy Christian and you make Heaven and your wife and children end up in hell? "Esin iya o gba omo la" as the saying goes.


So before one mistakenly wander into that journey of no return called marriage, one need to do their homework well and shine one's eyes. But when people try to tell them this, hmmm.

Nice ma'am, nice..


[size=2pt]BTW, you're missing from whatsapp/BBM/FB, what is wrong? [/size]

AreaFada2:
.. Yes ke, born again, conceived or premature again, that we will only know on judgement day.

Many are called, few are chosen. The way that leads to life/paradise is rough and only few are finding it.

Make we nor dey deceive ourselves.

I believe some Christians that use the word "born again' use this to try to feel superior to other Christians, a christian is a christian, live understanding the spirit of Jesus and you won't have any reason to try to prove to people how "christian" you are.

AreaFada2:
.

All those born again or conceived again na wash, a good person is a good person, yeye ones mostly remain yeye. "On the ways to Damascus" levels are few and far between.

freecocoa:
Marry a panel beater who redesigns every part of your body any chance he/she gets and don't divorce o, till you end up dead, then we go see how the bible go save you, mschew.

Maybe when "CHRISTIANS" start following the bible and having it in their heart that only Adultery and death is permitted, maybe then would they start marrying for the right reasons ans also dating the right kind of people according to their faith.

Most men and women married to panel beaters saw this trait even before they got married, they just chose to play the ostrich with the stale statement " he or she will change after marriage or i can change him or her".

boolet:
A divorce is permitted on confirmed grounds of adultery; although separation - living apart - is acceptable is the case of domestic abuse.

I hope you saw the headline? it's talking about a christian, infact a "born again" christian.

patrotic9gerian:
I am explaining the meaning of the popular biblical ref that you know... in translating the bible from Greek to Eng, some meanings were lost and the word unfaithfulness is one of them...

Explaining the bible based on your canal knowledge or based on the inspiration by the holy spirit? which one? and what bible chapter and verse did you explain?

STOP TURNING THE HOLY BIBLE INTO WORD OF DECEPTION--By M.N.E

They say Oprah is not a Christian, but built a school for girls in South Africa. IT IS FREEEDUCATION!!!
They say Beyoncé is Illuminati, she's building a school for girls in Afghanistan. IT IS FREE EDUCATION!!!
Tererai Trent is building a school for girls in Zimbabwe. IT IS FREE EDUCATION!!!
They say Mark Zuckerberg is an Atheist (doesn't believe in God), but more than 50% of his wealth goes to charity. *FACT*
Bill Gates is spending billions to eradicate Polio disease in Nigeria!

Most of the American Illuminati celebrities are investing millions on projects in African continents, adopting and educating African Children!!!
Our supposedly heaven-bound African (most especially Nigerians) Pastors are building Empires for themselves, building schools that are the most expensive and the poor cant attend.

These Pastors tell us 'law' came by Moses, but 'grace' came by Jesus... They pray with the grace of Jesus, and collect money with the law of Moses.
They are Christians, but nothing Christ-like about them anymore... Jesus Christ was a just man, who understood the principle of the 'widow's mite', but our today Pastors don't give a shit about widow's mite... The more you give, the more important you're in today's churches, irrespective of whether the money is ill gotten or not. JUST GIVE!!!! The Bible is now a weapon of mass deception...

They twist the Bible knowing that people are lazy to read. They collect 10% tithe, they collect welfare offering, they collect building offering, regular offering *all from one month's salary etc....

After which they will ask you to make vows and sow seeds at random! Haha!! Why won't they be billionaires? After collection, they build high profile schools, exotic Hotels and Hospitals for Politicians and their children, not caring about people who have been giving their widow's mite. The Bible said "give that there may be meat in my store house"... God never said you should keep collecting after you have overflow of meat - private jets and billions in the store house. Just imagine if these Pastors a tithe of 10% from their income back to the church... Nope! They
preach faith, but they don't exercise faith.

They tell you to give $1000 to become a Billionaire in 6 months, but they won't pray for you to become a Billionaire before giving! I never heard of any Billionaire who became one out of a pastor praying for you... I only know you can become a Billionaire through ideas, hard work and diligence! I always shake my head whenever I see about 100 people running to go and sow $200 to become Billionaires in 24 months. *remember that our God is not a gambler and church is not a casino.

I keep wondering when they will ever stop being stupid... How can the same Pastor who told you to sow seed of $1000 2 years ago to become a millionaire in 6 months, come back after 1 year to tell you to sow $200 to become a Billionaire in 24 months? Pleas do the math na... if $1000 did not make a millionaire, how $200 make you a Billionaire? *SMH* What baffles me most is the speed at which they run to go and pick the envelops, knowing fully well that some of them can't even afford to pay their bills, and some are 3 months behind in their rent payment. Haha!!!
Last Sunday as many Christians went to church with empty stomachs.. Pastors continue to live like kings and queens.

patrotic9gerian:
it may please you to know that you are not allowed to divorce if your partner commits adultery... The bible refers to marital unfaithfulness or (illegal union). This is different from adultery.... what this means is that before marriage, if a partner hides a big secret (e.g. having a deadly disease or in ability to give birth) then its an illegal union and there is unfaithfulness in the marriage, otherwise you are ment to forgive your wife even if she commits adultery... its a sin to divorce her for this reason. In marriage, no going back...

Can you always back up what you claim the bible is saying with biblical reference?

Christians and selective doctrine..

Some are even using their own logic to decide what is adultery and what is not..

some are even saying Jesus said what he said to "moderate" divorce with no biblical backings.

I want to ask, as Christians, do we have any other manual than the bible? if yes, can you post them here? if no, why then are you deciding what should be and not be outside the manual called "BIBLE"?

If you want to be a Christian, you must be in all ways, both in words and in actions, stop selecting when to be a christian and when not!

Christianity is in deeds and words.

The bible says "only Adultery and death" is permitted for divorce, anything outside these is "unscriptural" and "un-christian"

This is why you must look well before you say i do, stop running after flesh, stop chasing men or women because of their physical attributes alone, stop dating people for physical and material gains only.

Dont rush into relationships, follow God's manual and you'd be on the right path. also pray if you lack direction in choosing, stop allowing others choose for you, go straight to God for direction, you have the same access to God as any other Christian out there be it Pastor, Bishop, Pope or father!

In 2008/2009, I Spoke about the Expected Global Economic Crisis and how the Pancake Nigerian Banks and Stock Market will explode but many ppl called me a Prophet of Doom. However, when the trouble started they ran back to me.Shares then reduced to below 30 percent of original value.Even my Dad hasn't recovered from it today.


I am not an Economist but with a little study of Economics with the Combination of Financial Intelligence, i can say Nigeria is in Big Trouble.This is a short message as i will be doing an Article Later.


The Combination of so many factors will plunge Nigeria into big trouble in 2015.The missing USD20 billion as claimed by last CBN Governor, the new CBN Policy which favours only the Rich and Bank Owners, crude oil per barrel as at last year was over $100 per barrel now $74 per barrel and still going to plunge further (Pray it doesn't), one product economy (crude oil) with income only from 3 sources crude oil, lagos port income tax and company tax, Naira gone crazy now $1 = N175, ECA over $20 billion in 2008 and now less than $4 billion and the minister say they are taking $1 billion plus to cushion the effect of the forth coming austerity.Did i hear the Minister say: Austerity!!! Lots not mentioned.


The signs are all out there: for the lay man the Price of Goods now Triple or more in the last 3 years. That we are the biggest economy is in the paper and not reflecting in the citizens, the re-based economy is also in the numbers and not reflecting in real life.


The Minister came out to announce austerity measures just some days ago.Guys! this is just the beginning, more of such measures will be announced and it will affect the poorest in the society more.The middle class will go crazy in 2015 as they will have to compete with the poor at the bottom.Fuel Price will Increase and possibly the full subsidy will be removed absolutely as part of the measure, about 40 percent of middle class will loose their Jobs as organizations will not be able to pay, those that wont loose their job will get a pay cut as price of goods and services sky-rockets. Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, IT developers and many more professionals will have alot to cry about.


Election is the reason government is postponing the evil days: If the incumbent wins they will be bold enough to open the can of worms as they wont have a choice. With a new president he will still have to tell you the truth and to put the economy back in shape, it will still greatly affect the middle class. Either way the truth must be told after election in Feb or after May 29 swearing in.If you want to understand this as a lay man buy something in dollar and convert it to Naira.


The poor and middle Class will pay for the ripple effect of wrong government economic decision.Hard Times knows no age, religion, Party, Gender, Ethnicity. Expect lots of protest here and there. Please! talk to your family and friends to sit up and tighten their belt. Save your money in Dollars as the Naira keep depreciating badly. If you don't have a Dollar Account, open one with a reputable bank. Henceforth, find a way to earn in dollars as we are in the internet age, start farming if you can as indigenous staple products price will sky-rocket (cassava etc), find yourself a reputable Network Marketing company that pays in dollars and be part of it right now and be active, i repeat be active.If you are already in one stop being lazy and become active.Most of all call your loved ones to tighten their belt.Pass this message to them.

sorry bro....I will recommend trading the after-effect of the news...not the spikes..they can be very erratic

Wasn't trading the news.

Jarus:
Me? Said Musa has no business in SE? I still believe you're referring to another person.

In fact, I'm so much a fan of his that I made reference to it in article (on newspaper pages) that was not sports related.

In this 2012 article, I mentioned how I rushed home from work, all to watch Musa's Champions League debut: http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/guest-articles/femi-adekanye-there-goeth-a-mentor.html

I even described him as our own CR7 in that article!!! That was almost 3 years ago.

When I have the time. I will dig them out for you bro..

Jarus:
Not me. Maybe another person.

My posts are still there for anyone to dig up.

I guess, to you saying good about anyone is about rating him 10/10 in every match even where he didn't perform well.

Na, your comments on him are clear enough.. for me to single you out of a people should tell you I must have something on your posts. not once, not twice.. infact you once said he has no business in the Eagles.

Jaidooo:
Sorry mate. Enough greens to make up.

Let's wait and see

mediocrity is a luxury we can't afford at this critical moment.





He should have buried one.





Now see the aftermath

At least he tried to score 3 times, what happened to Ik Uche and Emenike? have they done half of what he has done so far?

And there was a stadium!

naijababe:
Current 75.05
High 75.21
Low 73.89

Safe.

I was checking my chart when it took me out at 1187, I promptly bought it again when it touched 1177. Lucky me

Was offline..

My phone won't connect to my platform...

This move shows that gold is gonna fly anytime soon..

natureblack:
are there not better ways to bury those balls than the mediocre display he showed us



Huh

And this is peculiar to just him?
