I feel this policy is very retrogressive and unnecessary. You cannot start implementing policy in the middle of children academic program. What happen to the children that will be graduating from secondary school next section at age 16? What should they be doing at home? They should wait 2 whole years at home before they will be eligible to write WAEC, NECO and JAMB? That will be very cruel of a government to it's young and promising citizens.
If there will be a policy change of this nature, it should be addressed from the age the children are admitted into the kindergarten section, then progressively into primary and secondary education. Not to jump into it in the middle of their academic studies, waste their precious time and tell us its not a new policy.
Secondly, government should not be in the habit of imposing policies on its citizens. The policy as can be seen is very unpopular. In climes where votes counts, such will lead to failure at the polls. The minister should gauge his proposed policy to test its popularity and be sure he is not doing something that will have adverse effect on his principal at the poll.
Last, I want to suggest that if age condition of this nature will be enforced, age barrier for employment in all government establishments should be abolished. You cannot on the one hand make it impossible for our children to enter school early and on the other hand enforced age restriction for employment for children that will possible encounter time wastage due to ASUU strike. I come in peace.

It is sad that people of this generation just like the people in the time of Noah did not take the warning of the scripture serious but rather choose to make mockery and jest of the truth of the coming of our Lord Jesus. The bible tells us that the Lord is not slack concerning the promise of his coming, but is longsuffering to us ward, not willing that any should perished, but that all will come to the knowledge of repentance.
Jesus will come at a time that signs prophesied in scripture indicates is closer than you and I can imagine. His coming will mark the beginning of calamies and catastrophes of unimaginable proportion upon the world. It will be foolishness for anybody to neglect and despised the warnings of the scripture. Before the flood in the time of Noah, Noah preached to the people and built the ark for 120 years. Before that time, it had not rained before and the warnings of rain and flood sound strange to the people of that time. That is how it is to the people of this generation too. The kind of events the bible spoke about that will take place has not happen before. Rapture is strange, great tribulation and the plagues that will characterized it are strange. But know for sure that the word of God cannot be broken, it will come to pass.
The only way of escape from the impending calamities that is coming upon the world is to repent and turn away from your sin. God loves all human, but his eyes are too holy to behold iniquity. Sin is the only problem between man and God. But don't wait to be good before you come to Jesus. Just come as you are, confessing and renouncing your sin, God will have mercy on you. Remember you have today, tomorrow may be too late.

Gospelpreacher1:
Sir,You Believe or you don't believe is not relevant. The day you close your eyes in Death you must believe.

You Believe In JESUS Christ or you refuse to believe, continue! But the day you Depart, you Must Believe in JESUS but it will be Late.
There is no Repentance in the Grave.
Mercy Expires at death.

True word my brother. To the question of how The man of God Mike Bamiloye know about heaven, the scripture explain all we need to know about heaven and how to get there; and it is only those who have come to God by faith that can start the journey to get there. However anybody is free to believe or doubt the scripture and the existence of heaven and hell. But like said above, the day you die, the reality of the existence of heaven for the righteous born again Christians and hell for the recalcitrant, unbelieving and rebellious souls will dawn on you but it will be too late.

I want to ask, are Nigerian not being separated by insecurity already? Realistically, travelling by road on our highways in the country is a high risk. Travelling by railway is not viable, travelling by our has suddenly been blown out of reach of an average income earning Nigerian. We are simply at the mercy of our rich western counterparts because while their leaders regardless of religion rule with conscience and put the interest of their citizens into high consideration, our own leaders in Africa sees position of leadership as a means of enriching themselves and cronies through looting our commonwealth. When you are asking why are our people migrating at an alarming rate, were you not in this country when a governor took the next cab to the airport to japa to abroad while the ceremony of his handling over to his successor is still ongoing?
You should rather be asking, why do our leaders take virtually all business meetings abroad, why do our leaders at the slightest headaches takes the next flight abroad for medical treatment, left alone, holiday and other social activities. They only sees the position of leadership as an avenue to milk our country of its resources and go and spend them in the system they believe and trust in. So as long as our leaders keep bulldozing themselves into power and running our nation aground as been currently witnessed, they only alternative for people who can afford will be to migrate from the country

Blackurglyboi:
Please don't laugh at my English and I'm not a good writer.

Now I have come to realization that truely masturbation is the greatest addiction ever. I wouldn't like to disclose my name cause of some reasons, I would like to keep my identity safe.

It all started far back In 2011 when I was in my jss3, I have been a pretty good boy who loves making friends, I was jovial. I interact with everyone around me and everybody loves my company.

I have lot of girls as my friends ..
One faithful Saturday morning I was having a stroll and I came across a pornography film pack and it has nudes content. It was lying by the road side, I'd picked it up and had a lot at it ..


My fellow nairalanders, that was how my journey started.

I started having the urge for sex. I felt so good giving myself self pleasure, I started masturbating once or twice a week, soon I started getting addicted, anytime I feel alone, the urge comes up and I must attend to it no matter where I am.

I started downloading phonography pictures on my phone. Fast forward to the time I finished my secondary school. It come to my observation I started pulling away from my female friends and I started keeping all to myself. I got some worst to the extent I can't talk to a woman. I started losing my friends. I only had mouth on social media .

Fast forward till today, masturbation have ruined my life totally now I have been so addicted that I get it done twice a day, sometimes I feel hurt and guilty, sometimes I asked myself i I would ever get married or if I can ever love a woman. I feel so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I do promise my self that I'm gonna leave it but the highest I could go was a week. I don't even have that urge of hitting a woman, in my area as low as 500 you can have sex with a LovePeddler, but even though it is cheap to that extent i Would rather satisfy my self.

Till this day I have been masturbating for 9 years and it's really tearing my life apart.
Now I keep all to myself .. The only two things you could find on my phone browser is narialand and different ponographic sites ...

It hurts me so much, sometimes my friends ask when would I have a girlfriend but I would reply (oboy leave that thing make we make money first woman go come ) but deep down I feel sorry for myself ...

For those who say masturbation isn't a sin, dear friends masturbation I'd a deep sin and when you're addicted to it is very difficult to overcome it .

Please I need your advice, a problem shared is a problem solved.

To start with, the bible said if the Son hall set you free, you shall be free indeed. Jesus can set you free from terrible bondage of masturbation. Dont listen to the advice of people telling you it is not a sin.
It is a terrible and demonic sin where your heart is defile and corrupted. It makes you live every moment in lust and unabated sexual desires which is destructive to your being both spiritually and physically.
It makes you see every woman as a sex slave who must be conquered on the bed of immorality. The bible said in Matthew 5: 27-28 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, thou shall not commit adultery: But I say unto you, that whoever looketh on a woman and lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart" So for you to masturbate, you watch pornography and use it to defile yourself. Besides that, the bible said in 1Corinthians 6: 19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the HOLY GHOST which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
Of course, your body cannot be the temple of the HOLY GHOST as yet, that is why you are still living in endless lust and masturbation and all you need to is the following
1. Know and admit your state of sinfulness and understand that according to Ezekiel 18: 4 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die
2. Know and understand that it is only salvation in Christ Jesus that can set you free. John 8: 36 said "So if the Son shall set you free, ye shall be free indeed" Also the bible said in Matthew 11: 28 ' Come unto me all that labor, and heavy laden, and I will give you rest"
3. In the place of prayer in your private place, pray a prayer of repentance to God through Jesus Christ. Admit your sin, repent of them, confess them, invite Christ into your heart and renounce all evil addiction. Pray this prayer until you feel the joy of salvation and a sense of relief.
4. After having assurance of salvation, begin a constant life of fellowship with God, Pray always first thing in the morning and last thing before you sleep. Get a copy of the holy BIBLE and read at least 2 chapters a day. Thereafter, look for a bible believing church and start fellowshiping with them.
5. Then, delete all pornographic and erotic picture and videos in your phone. Also destroy all CDs of related content in your possession. Also avoid isolating yourself most times. From time to time, the urge to isolate yourself and masturbate will come very strongly upon you as if you will not be able to resist it. Hold it and refuse to give in to it. You will find relief and rest. James 4: 7 said " Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
6. Lastly, look for a matured and reliable christian brother around you or in your place of fellowship or working place you can confide in for more spiritual guidance. It is my earnest prayer that the Lord in his infinite mercy save, deliver and sustain you. God bless you.

Chief Afilaka was never seen without a toothpick in his mouth and Eleyinmi labelled him Chief Tain Tain, mimicking the sound that he makes when he is picking his teeth. Eleyinmi didn't like Chief Afilaka because he was richer than him.

Chief Eleyinmi usually call chief Afilaka Tayin Tayin which mean somebody who is always picking his teeth. You will see chief Afilaka putting his hands into his agbada in the middle of important conversation, you will be thinking he want to bring out something important to buttress his point, only to find out he is bringing out his tooth pick.

Pornography is a very sinful and highly demonic activity which has generated a very high level of patronage both among young people and even married people. One of the terrible effect is that it defile the heart of the individual and make especially the men to see every lady as a sex object. It should be realized that any body addicted to pornography is under a very strong spell of demonic control. I myself was terrribly addicted to it until Jesus delivered me by his grace. I want to encourage anybody who is under the spell of pornography that you can be set free if and only if you can allow the holy Spirit into your life. If you are a christian, your body should be the temple of the holy Spirit and constantly defiling your body with immorality will only lead to your destruction both now and in eternity.

This is the truth the devil dont want people to know, overwhelming majority in daily living in the deceit of the evil one. We all need to open our eyes to the reality of eternity awaiting every one. Death is an inevitable appointment for all living soul. Do all within your power to ensure you make peace with your creator by accepting Jesus into your life as Lord and personal saviour and be deliver from the power and dominion of sin. Once sin is rid of in your life through the shed blood of the lamb, then the sting of death is gone and your enter into eternity with a lively hope. May we all be wise today to make a wise decision before it is too late.

If they want to address this, government should first of all tackle the practice of imposing age limit as a condition for employment especially in government owned companies. The mad rush for parent to enroll their children to school earlier is meant to beat the time wastage and difficulty in getting admission into higher institution for their children and the inherent disadvantage their children suffer in the highly competitive labor market when age limitation is introduce as criteria in securing employment. So government should go beyond curing the symptom, but rather, the main issue should be addressed.

We are all in the hands of God in this country, wickedness and oppression of the poor and downtrodden has been for too long in this country and it is only genuine repentance and change of attitude on the side of our leaders that will bring the mercy of God upon Nigeria. It is obvious that God is angry at the high and mighty and people in authority in this country. When the wrath of God is unleash on any targeted people, there is certainly no hidding place.

When we apply scripture to life situations, it is always pertinent to do that with understanding and with an open heart. First of all, it is necessary to know that you use scripture to interpret scripture. Asking for where the bible directly require restitution if one had two or more wives before being born again is akin to asking where did the bible condemn smoking. There are certain things God permitted in old testament that Jesus in his teaching put in right and clearer perspective, e.g the issue of Moses permitting children of Israel to give notice of divorcement to their wife if they are no longer interested in the marriage. Now it should be clear to all that the pronouncement of Jesus who is the Lord on any scriptural issue is final and supersedes what any other prophet or teacher in old testament had made. So if Jesus teaches in Matthew 19: 4-6 that two shall become one flesh, if you who is that situation is a real born again child of God like the question implies, you will not find it difficult to obey your Lord and Master. So the question of seeking direct place where bible instruct such restitution should not arise in the first place, because God does not approve of the marriage to a second or third wife, and anybody who is in such marriage is living daily in adultery.

If some one has done well, lets appreciate such a person. I really praise the magnanimity of Caroline. Those who are reading meaning to her action, what will you say about the ones that kill, assassinate or bath their ex with acid. Let forget our personal perception because we are not omniscience that can read the thoughts of the heart. Caroline had exhibited the character of a true christian and she should be appreciated for that. Simple and final. I think she paint to the picture of a real submissive wife.

Why is Jonathan being expected to be the former president or head of state to appear before court summon? Let IBB come and explain the questions around gulf war windfall, then OBJ should come and explain all the question concerning Halliburton scam. Also let Buhari respect all the court order which he has flagrantly disobeyed including releasing Dasuki to come and testify in this same case in question before GEJ will answer the court summon.

The reason behind this is not far fetch. Their pastors and daddy GOs who are suppose to guide them and feed them with the true word of God place their focus on earthly things, prosperity in addition to also living double standard lives themselves. Christianity have so degenerated to the extent that people have loose focus of the primary thing which is heaven and this starts from the preachers. People that are not born again, who don't have any life transforming experience with God are engaged as choristers, ushers, sunday school teacher and even pastors in our modern churches.
The work inn the church is the work of God and it should be undertaken by those who are genuinely children of the kingdom. Those who are genuinely born again with true evidence of rightful christian living. So you cannot give what you did not have. The problem of man with God start from the heart. The bible states in Jeremiah 17: 9 "The heart of man is deceitful above all thing and desperately wicked, who can know it". So until one engage God and properly pray his way to victory over sin and flesh, he or she will merely be struggling with sin and living of pretencious and double standard life.
It should also be noted that functioning as worker in the house of God without having a working relationship and life transforming experiencing with God, amount to wasting of ones time because such work have no reward with God in heaven. Galatians 6: 7, 8 said "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of his flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting"

Are you both christian? if she is and virtuous as you claim, let her know the scriptural view of her God given obligation for her to meet your sexual need. 1 Corinthians 7: 5 "Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, the ye may give yourself to fasting and prayer: and come together again that satan temp you not for your incontinency". Since you call her a virtuous woman, and I want to trust your view about her; she should be able to reason with this scripture. But if she refuse to, then that means there is more to her action. Then if you both belong to a bible believing church, you can seek the counsel of your pastor. May the peace of God be with your family.

Why can't we live in peace and prevent all these avoidable death of young men with better future prospect? God save Nigeria.

The chances are that if you stand your ground of making him commit himself or letting go of you, he'll take a stand which will clearly show you his motives and intention towards you. As it stands, you dont know his mind. AND i think it is better for you to know where you are going, so that you can avoid a situation where you are neither going forward nor backward.

Lagos is really setting the pace in matters of development in Nigeria

Getting education is never too late, to me its a challenge to young people who are wasting their youthfulness on worthless venture.
