Hmmmmm2024:
Shut up...in as much as we sympathize with you, don't bring some stupid lies here . You and one other went to steal in the house of a police man, you guys went with a sword and a local made gun...but you guys were only able to steal Chicken from his poultry...you guys were arrested and taking to court...as far the law is concerned, the judgment was in line only that the judgement was too extreme. Considering the fact that you were a teenager then, the judge should have given a lighter punishment...

The gun was for what ?

You grab the issue very well

I don't believe this olowokere is completely innocent because when I was at age 15 we have one friend Like that who uses knife to fight and there was several occasions that he was reported of stealing, several times being bailed by the mother. So this case of being innocent I don't believe it otherwise an objective investigation should be conducted again

It is not marriage that helped ur guy.

He dated a woman who showed him way...not those urgent 2k with 2million naira phone yet not brain and no future.

Marriage can kill u before ur time...I am a married man with 9yrs experience.

Don't rush ooh...u will rush out the way Russians ran away when Putin was trying to conscript them into the army.

Marriage,hmm...if u no get money pls, don't go closer I beg u in the name of God.

Except u are lucky to marry from a well to do family.

At age 40 as a man and you are not married it means that you've been roaming with people who never think about what their life should look like at the age of 60 when you will become weak

At 40 just get any apartment, find a serious woman that has a job and also ready to pay the price of raising a family then God will crown your efforts.

For those who will criticize continue

Introduction
Beloved, it is sobering to consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:21, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” These words challenge us to look beyond outward religiosity and focus on the core of our faith: doing God’s will.

Let us explore this truth together, not as a critique of going to church but as a call to live lives that truly please God.

Discussion Questions

1. What does it mean to do the will of the Father?

Jesus summarized God’s will in Mark 12:30-31: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself.” It is not about rituals or appearances but about living in love and obedience to God’s commandments.

2. Does going to church guarantee entry into the Kingdom?

While attending church is good for fellowship and spiritual growth (Hebrews 10:25), Jesus makes it clear that it is not the ultimate qualification for heaven. The Pharisees were devout in their religious practices, yet Jesus said, “Woe to you...you shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces” (Matthew 23:13). True faith goes beyond rituals; it requires a heart surrendered to God.

3. Can someone who never goes to church enter heaven?

Consider the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21:28-32. One son initially refused to obey his father but later repented and did his will. Jesus concluded, “The tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.” It is not about where you are but whether you respond to God’s call with a willing heart.

Key Points to Reflect On

1. God Desires Obedience, Not Pride

1 Samuel 15:22: “To obey is better than sacrifice.” Pride in religious affiliation or personal works does not impress God. A humble and obedient heart does.

2. Faith Without Action is Dead

James 2:26: “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” Pleasing God requires us to live out our faith in how we treat others and honor Him.

3. The Kingdom is for All Who Believe and Obey

Whether someone finds God in a church, on the streets, or in their personal struggles, what matters is their response to Him. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

Interactive Reflection

How can you do God’s will in your daily life?

Are there areas where you are relying on appearances rather than true obedience to God?

How can you share God’s love with someone who may never step into a church?

Conclusion
Beloved, let us not be deceived by religion or church-pride. Jesus is calling us to a deeper walk—one rooted in obedience and love for God and others. Remember, the Kingdom of Heaven is for those who do the will of the Father. Whether you are in a church pew or out in the world, let your life reflect His glory.

“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it” (Luke 11:28). Let us strive to be among them.

May God help us to live lives pleasing to Him. Amen!

WE are aware that you people still believe Jesus is God whereas he is just a messenger just like Moses, Joseph and Muhammad

Those business men of PAUL who deceive you people will keep cashing out aggressively

John 5:30
By myself, I can do nothing: I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but HIM WHO HAS SENT ME.

Biafra must not be South South, it can be only South East. This is why the Biafrans want referendum. The Nigeria we have today is just a British colonial invention created with no referendum

The truth is that people who never respect their elders, fathers, mother etc should not be allowed to go otherwise they spend their FIRST 10 years killing themselves and later come back to Nigerian government to help them with food

Is Dave Umahi doing it with personal money? Is South East people no longer pay tax?

May God really have mercy on you all here, because it's not your fault. Myopic People every where.

But if Umahi loot the money you will want to complain

You are not fine and you know it...

CBN is a major problem in Nigeria. They don’t ever think of other possible solutions to any problem than restrictions. Nonsense!

I know you can think out of your dirty box

OYA think and tell us what can be done and explain the processes of doing it

Look at the good banners and some useless people as at on Monday came with JESUS IS NOT GOD banner as if that is the only banner that surround the mosque

What is their motive?

NaijaSumi:
After stealing the people's mandate and putting the Nigerian masses in untold hardship, this is what failure Tinubu could come up with. Is there any of his family members that will partake in this useless slash... He came and brought hardship and now bringing up another useless slash...

After stealing Nigeria's wealth and making stupid policies... Thieves, people that are extremely corrupt leading a Nation... This is crazy and unbelievable... Tinubu, you're not worth to be Nigerian President if not for the system that is terribly corrupt... You are a thief!!

The policy is not for obidiotss and haters if you

WE ADVISE HATERS TO BOARD THEIR BUS SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT IF ANY HATERS STILL BOARD THIS 50% BUSES YOU WILL NOT COME BACK FROM THAT VILLAGE BY GOD'S GRACE

USELESS PEOPLE

AntiChristian:


Tufiakwa!

Such can never happen!

1. She can never have a male bestie!

2. No marriageable male can get close to her.

3. She understands that It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman who is not his mahram (unmarriageable kin), because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “No man should be alone with a woman unless there is a mahram with them.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1862) and Muslim (1341). And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “No man is alone with a woman but the Shaytaan (Satan) is the third one present.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1171) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

4. Even the Husband's brother is death i.e. Strongly included among those who should stay far from my wife as well!

Thanks a lot

Before some useless people begin to say this is Islamic preaching

I personally have seen an elder brother who impregnated his your brother's wife and the bastard child is still alive till now even having his own children

The embarrassment is still there till date because the woman has to be sent away then but the shameful label is still on the child

I told my wife, the day you have a man as bestie or your one useless ex boyfriend calls you on phone and I am aware you will pack your loan and become his second wife

A man must be confident to stand against zina aggressively to avoid bastard children

IMAliyu2:
It's what happens in societies where gay men have to hide.
They will pretend to be straight, get married, have children and sleep with other men on the side.

When people are living a BETTER life and there's peace of mind that's when you see them thinking about nonsense

Secondly, Christianity is a weak religion without direction and that's why 90% of LGBTQ community are Christians. If them born any Muslim well he should tell us he is a Muslim and a gay and you will see how such person will die in few days but in Christianity even pastors are now using QUEEN JAMES BIBLE

If not for Islam, this world would have been an animal kingdom by now

I come in peace

BlackfireX:

I support you
Is even written in our hadith sahih Muslim that our prophet Muhammad slept with a dead woman.

On the day of judgement you will come with the Hadith and you will need to show us the authenticity of the Hadith too because now a days we have Hadith that came from St Paul's children

ozo13:
And u wonder why scammers keep calling every other time.This number is on the high side ooo.imagine just a quarter of them securing a bank job, it will be a disaster to the citizens

If you read the news from Beginning to the end you will realize that they only allow those Nigerians to know about registration fee to access their YOOTO platform so those Nigerian guys will definitely be freed after trial as long as the foreigners confess that those Nigerians truly applied for a perceived good job which later turn to something else

Fiscus105:
Wen are they going to execute them? Or you are waiting for jailbreak,for them to re-integrate back to the society, to continue their jihad works



Meanwhile, I think Fagbemi is the best Attorney General we have in this democracy.

I wish they will be hanged to death in a live broadcast to serve as a very vivid lesson for Bokoharam and lakuwara Plus bandits including useless unknown gunmen/herdsmen kidnappers

UHLmoving:
I sense a political stunt

Its possible that Tinubu' govt must have orchestrated this display to get an excuse to abandon the project.



Open your eyes, they can intiate project, map out funds, cause chaos to abandon the project, then siphon the mapped out fund.

This is Southeast remember,

Can Tinubu build any infrastructure at the southeast?

I don't even see why jagaban have to initiate any project in that region with 100% hatred for his mandate

All I know is that he is trying to be fair to the elders of your land but if it is to consider most useless youth from SE I would have suggested jagaban send soldiers to maintain sit at home 3 times in a week so that their economy can totally perish

LAMATA pls improve the speed of this red thing

Oblongata:
All because of Tax reforms

Abokis never want improvement for their people as long as the small rich people can be dashing them rice the whole abokis will not complain

Their leaders understand this very well and that's why their leaders prefer palliative than any reform that can boost investments

femi4:
Nothing is wrong with the dance

You are stereotyped to declare her dance demonic. It takes a demon to recognise a demonic dance

This is the definition of "music no need permission to enter your spirit "

We are quick to tag what we don't understand "demonic " in this part of the world.

The only act of worship in churches from beginning was clapping and dancing aggressively



SO what did you expect

kaltonga:
You call this fishing boats powerful? Ha! Nigerians, even the NNS ARADU self na molue na.. bros try dey shame small.

The way some people hate Nigeria I just pray that you will never progress in your life as long as you live in this Nigeria

Zonefree:
Ogun will not kill my pastor abeg.

Ogun will definitely kill pastors because they are yahoos. If you remove tithes from churches I bet that God will not call anyone again as they normally claim God called them

As for imams ogun cannot kill them because there's no miracles in Islam as all prophets of God (Moses, Yusuf, issa, Mohammad etc) have done miracles and that's the end

We Don't do miracles in Islam

naptu2:
German Chancellor, Olaf Sholz, visited Nigeria in October 2023 (he was in Abuja and Lagos) and some people said that President Bola Tinubu had disgraced Nigeria by holding a reception for an ordinary university chancellor.

SOME of you small children thinks chancellor is the same as your useless ward A counselor in your street that's why you expect jagaban to send one of your village elders to go and bring the German chancellor since you don't respect people whom God has lifted

Irresponsible people everywhere. I piss on your head

MadPolitician:
D
Stop begging for unity.
Simon Ekpa is now in prison.
Nnamdi kanu is now in prison.
Yet, The much talked about Sit at Home is still holding.
So what does that tell you?

Every now and then, an inebriated mutant will wriggle out from his/her wet rat hole to advice igbos on the need to stick with a comatose Nigeria and stop following Simon Ekpa. It used to be Nnamdi kanu. It is as if you are talking to kids.

What you guys have failed to see is the fact that the whole agitation is more like a mass movement, with the people willfully gravitating towards the leadership of the most forceful and the most anti Nigerian character.

At a time, when kanu was arrested, his colleagues at the helm of IPOB basically tried to tone things down. That was the sudden end of their relevance. You agbadorians must come to understand that you are dealing with igbos and a population well over 50 million. That is 50 million intelligent men! They should know when enough has become enough!

People are genuinely tired of Nigeria. Trying to pass off their frustrations and rejections of a failed country as unreasonable positions taken by a brainwashed mass, only adds to the litany of taunts and insults that propel those rejections and frustrations. Such never helps to win anyone over to the Nigerian side.

You should learn!

The way you are ANGRY I am thinking EPA is your elder brother. You are free to join him.

You seem to be one of those criminals EPA is sending to kill people in the East. Your people are afraid of leaving Lagos to SE this Christmas because of kidnappers and criminals used by EPA

You people can continue to reduce your numbers. When election comes your vote will still be used as a back up for SW or NORTH as usual

Kemi Badenoch's Anti Nigerian Comments Are Not Good For Her, Her Party Or For Britain-British Journalist.

The UK people are already sending messages to KEMI

"Better respect yourself and don't lose guard before we kick you out to your family members in Nigeria"

It is very important to love your country and at some point especially if you are in highly placed positions you must learn to be silent almost 90% of the time and only share your pain with few people and not the media

KEMI I pray UK don't betray you earlier than you expected

This man does not know how unprotected he is in Nigeria

You are thinking Lagos is enugu or one sit at home community. continue thinking

Yoruba has gone beyond your region walai

I know there's no respect in your land pls don't insult me abeg

DCmonster:
Propaganda.
There's is nothing like southern reps caucus.
Tax bill will be resisted and if it's forcefully passed, both Apkabio and Tinubu will be impeached and heaven will not fall.

I believe you are not a governor of any state

Only governors in the North are afraid of the bill because they will not be getting billions of FAAC again unless they also contributed billions to FG revenue

Governors that cannot think of how to use his state resources will just need to resign by the time there's no money to steal

CodeTemplar:
The RMAFC man is obviously an ignoramus or tribal legend at best, parading as in intellectual. That it is called a consumption tax doesn't mean it is meant to serve the consumer or go to the consumer directly in anyway. It can still be collected at value addition location and reshared in Abuja, which is what Tinubu has done here. Let the ignoramus tell us who collects the VAT for good consumed outside Nigeria but within ECOWAS if the tax is for the consumer as they assume here.

It is a tax that should compensate whoever shoulders the burden of production or value-addition. It will be harsh to allow Lagos poach investors, create enabling environment, lost their land, culture, values to foreigners, suffer environmental degradation, provide supporting infrastructure like road, power, security and more, then you treat them equal with where the good are consumed because the textbook says VAT is a consumption (based) tax. It is collected from the consumer for consuming the value added unto the raw input but never meant for the consumer or her location.

It is like saying tolls collected in Kano for a road should go to Lagos or Rivers because the final destination of some of the passengers include Lagos and Rivers. The road is a service and is provided by Kano so why reward the destination of the passenger? What about passengers who end up in Ghana or Cameroon?

If we use this logic of the foolish and greedy RMAFC boss, states may be forced to collect it forcefully like that of a tolled road that serves interstate traffic and there will be chaos and rip offs because they will charge far higher than the flat rate FG is enforcing.

VAT is best managed centrally and redistributed to whoever is absorbing the impact of the value-addition within the value-addition chain accordingly. If nigeria must grow to become a hub where thing are manufactured and sold all over west Africa, this bill is good for rewarding value-adding states.

You will realize that the chairman of the RMAFC is an hausa man. They don't want to contribute again to the country they only want bigger FAAC and since their senators and governors are complaining that bill must be passed

Criminals, oshofree people should go and start thinking before contesting for positions especially all our poverty striking states

Building Abuja while causing trouble in his own state to the point of influencing allocations to be withheld.

That’s why PO is smarter than all of them. Instead of fight with Soludo over control of the state, he left him alone knowing that it’s the ordinary people who suffer when politicians fight dirty

Obi is only afraid of soludo who knows all his transactions secrets.

Yu gat it. That's the truth

N470k is nothing to an Igbo man unlike some people that mine skulls for N20k

You are LIEING. An IGBO man loves money more than their children

If it is hausa or yoruba I will believe but you see CHUKWU PEOPLE I can never trust them when it comes to eego

This Keke man did not know the amount in the bag otherwise oti lo 😂
