He won't be doing that for anyone's benefit, but to make it easy for Nigeria to break up so that nobody can come after him for all the money he has stolen...and if he tries it the northerners will impeach him
🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING: IRAN ALLEGES US USED "WORLD WAR III" WEAPONS IN UNPRECEDENTED ASSAULT ON IRAN
Tehran — Iran’s armed forces have claimed that the United States deployed weapons and military technologies "never before used in combat" during its ongoing campaign against the Islamic Republic.
WHAT IRAN IS SAYING: Brig. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, alleged this week that Washington had brought out "every piece of weaponry, every technology, every capability" it had reserved for a potential World War III scenario.
> "They have even brought out weapons that had been stored away for a 'third world war'..., Shekarchi stated
pocohantas: Born your own and impact wisdom in them. I wouldn't know why this triggers you to the point of insulting him.
It's also important to block off their possible entry points e.g. poorly installed windowsills, doorsills, pipes that lead outside, nets on the kitchen doors & everywhere else
Richtaiwo: Contributed 79 billion and received over 230 billion. As in, received over 291% of what you contributed. Which kind of useless system is that? Is that a ponzi scheme or what? Or how else do I explain this nonsense? This system of robbing Adewale to pay Ikenna must end one day.
Grace and peace be unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I write to you today not as one who has all the answers, but as a fellow traveler on this difficult journey of faith, with a heart that aches for the brokenness we see all around us. I want to speak to you about something that challenges our modern sensibilities, yet is woven into the very fabric of our biblical heritage: the practice of a husband taking another wife.
Our Biblical Heritage
Before we allow our cultural conditioning to dismiss this outright, let us look at the Word of God. We see that Abraham, our father in faith, had Sarah, Hagar, and later Keturah. Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, had Leah, Rachel, and their handmaids Bilhah and Zilpah, through whom the twelve tribes of our faith were born. David, a man after God's own heart, had multiple wives. Even Moses had two wives.
The Law of Moses itself acknowledges this practice. Deuteronomy 21:15 speaks plainly: "If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved...". Exodus 21:10 commands that if a man takes another wife, he must not diminish the food, clothing, and marital rights of the first. The Bible does not condemn these patriarchs for having multiple wives. Scripture recognizes it as a lawful practice under the Old Covenant.
A Call to Compassion
Now, I ask you to look around with the eyes of Christ. What do you see? You see women—daughters of Eve, sisters in humanity—who are forced into prostitution because they have no protector, no provider, no covering. They sell their bodies because their spirits are starving, because society has cast them aside, because there is no man to take them under his roof and give them honor.
Is it not better that a woman be called a wife than a harlot? Is it not more righteous that a man provide for a woman in the dignity of marriage than that she be passed from hand to hand in the degradation of the streets?
Reasons Why We Should Consider This Biblical Model
First, it provides for the vulnerable. When there are more women than men in the body of Christ, what is to become of the faithful sisters who have no husband? Shall they be left desolate? The Old Testament shows us that God, in His mercy, allowed this arrangement so that women would not be left without provision.
Second, it mirrors the spiritual reality. Does not Christ, our heavenly Bridegroom, have many brides? Are we not all part of the one Body of Christ, yet many members? The Church is the Bride of Christ, and we are many souls united to one Lord.
Third, it honors women who would otherwise be dishonored. In our modern world, how many women are cast aside because they cannot find a "good Christian man"? How many sit in our pews, year after year, their wombs empty and their arms aching, while their sisters are blessed with children? The story of Hannah and Peninnah, the two wives of Elkanah, shows us that God worked through this arrangement.
Fourth, it is a model of sacrificial love. When a wife agrees to share her husband, she is displaying a love that transcends jealousy—a love that says, "If I have been blessed with a good man, why should I hoard this blessing when my sister is perishing?" This is the love of Ruth, who clung to Naomi, not counting the cost to herself.
Fifth, it was never condemned by God. While the New Testament sets a higher standard for church leaders, commanding that they be the husband of one wife, nowhere does it forbid the common believer from this practice. The law regulated it but did not forbid it.
A Word to the Wives
If your husband comes to you and speaks of taking another wife to rescue her from destitution, from prostitution, from a life of shame—do not harden your heart. Remember Sarah, who gave Hagar to Abraham. Remember Rachel and Leah, who gave their maids to Jacob. These were women of faith, women who understood that the Kingdom of God is bigger than our personal comforts.
Do not let jealousy rob you of the reward that awaits you in heaven. Your reward is not in the exclusivity of your husband's bed, but in the crown of righteousness that awaits those who love the Lord and love their neighbors as themselves.
A Word to the Church
My sisters, let us open our hearts and our homes. Let us not be like the world, which commodifies women and throws them away. Let us be like our Father in heaven, who gathers the outcast and the broken and calls them His own.
If a man in your congregation has the means and the character to take another wife, let him not be condemned, but encouraged. For in doing so, he may be saving a soul from the pit of destruction.
Conclusion
I know this is difficult. I know every fiber of our modern being cries out against it. But I ask you: Is it more righteous that a woman sell her body on the streets, or that she be called a wife in a godly home? Is it more holy that she be a concubine to the world, or a covenant partner to a man of God?
The choice is before us. Let us choose life. Let us choose dignity. Let us choose to be like our mothers in the faith who understood that love is not possessive, but generous.
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22). Let us pray that more women may find that favor, even if it comes through the open hearts of those who already have a husband.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may He give you the grace to love as He loves.
In Christ's service,
Your sister and servant.
Ditch the rigmarole and ust admit that you like to wax your knob in multiple slippery holes
Your country is the way it is because you guys insist on having public services at knock down prices.
This prevents investment in said services, meaning they are inefficent, meaning that at the end things like massive industrialization are not possible. Also, debt results from keeping prices of such ultiites low
That means a large population of unemployed youth,some of whom take to crime.
Also, most of us do not pay tax. (Yes, the kids will now mock me). No tax, no money to modernize the police, pay for forensic labs, pay for better detention facilites, pay even for state run reformation centers, pay for better education facilites, and so forth
Result, maladjusted youth...more crime
Then at the end of the day, you all prefer imported stuff. More imports, less local production, no jobs...see the pattern.
And then you defend your corrupt politicans, meaning disgruntled people, meaning the next set of currpt ppoltiicans then present themselves as the good guys and then take over from where the others were chopping, while people support one side or the other because...government to them is about breads from the table.
Mattswaggz: As a African country, you shouldn't have any problem with this.....the use of the court was to suppress the weak and embolden the strong....apart from that , it has been totally useless and doesn't live up to it's expectations.....if na bombs dem wan even use destroy am make them carry go.
Fear of the ICC is the only thing that has kept the rapacious treasury plunderers and bloodthirsty dictators of 90% of African countries from mass murder of their own citizens, because they can all remember the fate of Charles Taylor
Leepeak: Yes good one Na our foolish leaders I mean Africa leaders when dey icc I blame All the nonsense bush Jr do 2003 He go scot free but our stupid Africa leaders are to be held responsible for what Even Putin nor sign anything with ICC, Check very well na Africa full there
Elusive001: Una want Netanyahu to be like Buhari and Tinubu who reintegrate terrorists into the society. You want him to sit like them watching as Islamic terrorists use his people for kilishi and suya?
Osgilliat: Nigerians always trying to afford everything when doing business. Loan, credit, hire purchase.. these are the tools they need to use to buy the vehicle. They should be more concerned about getting favorable loans, they should instead plead for government intervention to get them these car on hire purchase but no.: they are protesting a policy that will move the sector forward. Typical Nigerian mentality. They always like the way things are so they can complain, curse and be mad at everyone around them. Doing business with loan is more productive than doing business with personal capital. All you need is just a fraction of your capital while the major source should be loan and watch the business boom.
Do you know the rate for consumer loans in Nigeria??
Taking a loan to buy car for transport business in Nigeria is like sticking your own neck inside a noose!
And no, this policy is not going to move the sector anywhere, rather Keyamo is in the process of creating a monopoly to run airport taxi biz in Lagos or wherever else he puts the system in place.
What he is doing is called 'jobbery' am spelling it out for the benefit of people like you who ignorantly support every evil policy that greedy APC rolls out to further enslave hapless Nigerians..
And no be say the money easy to find o as e dey valueless so. This 18m go take person wen dey earn a whole 500k without touching it atleast 3yrs to gather
But let's pretend all is well and rosy because of sentiments
They should be able to get Chinese cars at that price range
