All these useless banks send me the same unsolicited text message everyday on how to top up my airtime. Then they'll deduct alert fee,tax fee, admin fee at the end of the month. All these are efforts to frustrate the federal government who reduced the free money banks were getting from government bonds and introduction of TSA. Banks should look for clean and brilliant ways and ideas of making money, not this crude way they've employed.

The height of marijuana abuse.

Scholes007:
but the subsidy done resume again now, how we go do am?

Yes, they didn't say it was gone. They cancelled earlier crazy deals and crude swaps. Starting from January this year, they arranged periodical reviews of pump price, i think once per quarter. January to March is gone and no subsidy was paid. About 5naira per litre subsidy would be paid this quarter but the money is already available and the money is small COMPARED to previous years. It's not a drain on our budget again.

Destined2win:
Father Mbaka was one person that sounded it so loud that buhari was the 'chosen one'. I am not doubting his calling as a man of God but I think with the spate of harsh economic sufferings meted out to Nigerians by the Present government, he should have called them out knowing fully well that he fears no one. His criticisms of Jonathan's government helped buhari ascend to the Presidency

Even some change propagandists like Omojuwa has officially turned a wailer. He didn't want it to look as if he went back to his vomit after criticizing the previous government. But from his rants, a discerning mind would see that he would have preffered the Previous government.

Now the question is, why is father Mbaka yet to speak on the harsh sufferings of Nigerians?

He was supportive of the past administration until election period, why not wait till then?

Shymm3x:
The question was directed at you. However, your answer paints a perfect picture of how disorganised your everyday life looks like. A sensible person would solve the problem close by, to get that out of the way, while giving assurances to the ones far away that succour is coming. In doing so, you've solved half of ya problem and it'll give you the needed attention to focus on the other half that's left.

With what you posited: no problem would be solved in the next 7days cos the number allocated to the SW won't be enough to solve anything. When you could've easily solved the SW problem, while shifting all the focus to the North.

Err, in future, don't ever contest for an election in naij. And if you're ever offered a political post - politely reject it. You're obviously not a problem solver and you'll only exacerbate the numerous problems wrong with naij.

I'm out.

Out and dry you mean. You forget that the problem is an everyday issue not a once in a lifetime thing. Nigeria consumes gasoline DAILY, about 40litres daily according to reports. Tankers load and disperse DAILY. The hyped OP is an average normal occurrence at the depot. The newspaper and webpages that toyed with gullible sentiments have done so and made profits. It changes nothing from the reality on ground daily as regards to supply and distribution logistics. As long as tankers are available from farther distances, they'll continue to get bigger quota. That is how it was, how it is, and how it will continue to be, except dynamics change.

Joagbaje:
There's difference between personal enemy and enemy of the church. A man of God who is anointed has ability to pronounce judgement which can even be fatal .

Acts 13:9-11
Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand


Galatians 5:12
12 My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.

2 Thessalonians 1:6
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

Jo, you don reach here. All these passages do not justify the pastor threatening people's lives.

Shymm3x:
So you're the one the BooHarryBots sent today to do the job, no?

Okay, let's use ya everyday life as a case study. Let's say you have two problems you need to fix urgently. One is very close to you and you can fix it easily with the resources available, while the other is far away and it will take time to fix. How would you go about fixing these problems?

You go about fixing the problem by applicable common sense. The two problems solution is to supply with the farther venue allocated more due to distance logistics. Before one tanker does go and come in 7days to the North, the other tanker has done 3go and come around Lagos and Ogun state.

Roadmike:
Imagine the President saying we have little to show for 16 years of high crude oil prices ?

my people say the morning tells the night its almost a year of four (4) years what concrete initiatives or road map does he have or present as to know where he himself is taking us to. POT Calling the KETTLE Black .

Enough of this cluelessness all he delight in is Gallivanting all over the world.

Imagine:
"Nigerias Minister of Petroleum jets out with Long queues of Motorist at All Gas Station"

The morning has not been bad given the fact that we're not spending a kobo extra from budget for subsidy for the first six months of the year, compared to what obtains in the past when we spent billions or trillions per year.

Dollyak:
It's not logical in any form. Economic benefits tends to get more priority over everything else. What is the overall benefits to Nigeria? Left to me 90% of everything should stay in the south to kick start the economy. What Lagos alone lose in a day as a result of fuel crisis is more than what the collective core North will probably contribute in a year. Histories are littered with similar events.

No problem, your views have been read.

curvilicious:
That means?
What does ur above statement imply?
Elder, plz educate me

Sorry if my post makes you feel inferior, being childish or immature is not in age but in behavior and thinking. The point made is that it will take about 6days for one tanker to leave from Lagos depot to the North and back, while a tanker will do go-come three times or more within the same 1week period if carrying fuel within Lagos and southwest. It is therefore not absurd but logical to send more to farther distances.

Dollyak:
With all due respect save those diplomatic talk for the northerners who continue to bleed this country dry. Let's just buy your narrative for a minute, do you honestly think the Northerners should get the priority because of the distance? If there is fuel scarcity in UK or USA, do you think they will favour Newcastle over London or that sh¡t hole South Dakota over Newyork just because they are far from the port. Economically speaking, the south needs those tankers more than thr north.

It's simply another shortsighted decision.

It's not priority, it's just common sense. Tankers going North will use about 6days go and come. Tankers in the West would go come in 24hrs or two days. Meaning that they'll make more trips or equal trips in a week. Nobody is favouring anybody, it's just the logical thing to do.

yaki84:
scarcity of last yr was caused by so many factors, one of it is that jonathan lost n he was preparing his handing over notes for the next govt.
he lost n he saw no need pushing n sacrificing for nigerians cos thr was no time to act again.
more than 200billion but NASS approved more than 500billion for subsidy payment lastyr for buhari n there is still fuel crisis.
nigerians dont like hearing the truth.
put ur self in Jonathan's shoe, after losing reelection bid, u for still sacrifice to make the people who disown u to be happy?
just be plain n sincere.

The chief cause of the scarcity was the non payment of subsidy. it was very clear from the start of budget even before election. The FG budgeted about 150billuon and by may 2015, they had used it up and owed over 200billion. The marketers wanted their money before GEJ administration left, hence the scarcity. It is not a matter of sacrifice but of planning and prudence. What sacrifice do you refer to, was GEJ sacrificing his salary or his life savings to pay subsidy? Revenue was dropping and his team didn't know what next to do than to owe and borrow.

curvilicious:
Weda geopolitical zone or not, weda south or north I don't care!

160/40 is way too much if we are sincere to ourselves

Which means out of every 5 car owners/keke riders/generator(I pass my neighbour included) owners the northerners own 4 nd d southerners own 1?

Is the changie we are wanting

For goodness sake, while this is just a day's data and figures may fluctuate based on tanker queues etc. Yet, it is understandable that a tanker from the loading bay in Lagos will reach Lagos and other parts of the Southwest in 24hrs, while tankers loading from Lagos and going to the North will spend 3-4days on their journey to destination. Moreso,Buhari is not the one selling or sharing turns and tickets. Please let's grow up and reason above childish tribal and religious sentiments.

april 2015, jonathan knew his fate he was not coming back. take a look at man city, by january the management announced a new coach when the incumbent was still effectively doing well, what happened after on, no motivation, no extra push cos u already know thr is nothing to push for again.
jonathan in april was preparing his handing note, dont forget he was not expecting to lose so he put his all for a comeback. losing on 28march n knowing there is nothing he will do again to change d statistics on ground, he succumbed.
na only a fool will sacrifice his all when they people u r fighting for say we dont want u again.

See this fellow comparing the fate of a nation of 180million people to a football club! This is the crazy impunity and carelessness that obtained in the past administration. By the way, all the big premier league clubs had their rough patches, yet we can see Man City is still fighting in the prestigious champion's league and rooting for a qualification for the next. This is unlike the April and May scarcities of last year which we all know was caused by mismanagement. Don't twist history please, it is very recent. The fg budgeted about 150billion for 2015 budget because there was no money. By April/May, they were already owing over 200billion for subsidy and differential. This was the cause of the scarcity, not pdp's loss.

yaki84:
the problem is not abt the intellectuals having little sense, the problem is when intellectuals r governed by illiterates.
imagine being a professor in a school and ur vice chancellor is a carpenter.
it cant mix, there will always be crisis in policies.
I keep saying this buhari controls every sector in this country from petroleum tofinance, the ministers dont have a say, what buhari says is final.
when last did kemi adeosun address d nation?
or has d economy excel?

Like Okonjo-Iweala was addressing the nation, right? What has addressing the nation got to do with the matter at hand? When last did Buhari himself address the nation? How do you come about the logic that addressing the nation shows you're in charge?

Who are zombies? Anyway, when i said nobody, i meant nobody important like the Presidency or the APC.i'm least concerned with private opinions which are a dime a dozen.

Musicminista:
In a dispensation where the present government has succeeded in using social media to formulate unfounded opinions and biases. I just want us to gain a balance. Here's a picture of Zuriel Oduwole interview GEJ when he was president, it didn't help the plight of Nigerians then and neither will it now. And more so it wasn't pasted all over social media to curry favour. Nigerians please wake up and let's face real issues and not pictures.

This makes no sense, nobody said the interview was an achievement.

Ymodulus:
And where was the god when the useless mother was throwing her into the pit?

My friend don't come here to say such

Miracles are unusual, they are divine intervention. God has normally left us at a leash to run things on our own. He'd usually not step in except we ask Him to, or sometimes using prerogative. Full active mode will be judgement day.

Christians would have almost committed suicide and screaming victimization if this was done to them. Anyone who wants to do procession should do it in their worship center and Campground instead of blocking public space without due permission. Live and let live. Lovely clampdown NA.

Good day nairalanders,
it was a sad morning in Gombe state as we woke up to find out that a mysterious fire has razed some shop along cross, union bank road Gombe state. The fire started last night around 2 A.m and burnt everything complete. the shops were made of iron. people usually call it canter shop and its mainly occupied by igbos and few Hausa's. Now the questions that people around have been asking is , is it possible for an iron shop to burn and affect other shops its impossible. I can hear peoples saying that the act was Peperated by some Hausa boys to hurt the Igbo's, but that's not the case because the deed has been done.
Around 3.pm today, the Govonor of Gombe state and his entourage, visited the scene.
source: Am an eye witness.

This is lazy thinking. Many things can cause and spread fire. The goods in the shops may be combustible.

I think it's cool since d defence authorities lack adequate technologies and Intel to ascertain the state of the girls

Common sense would send the two girls to the many chibok parents instead. Or use technology like pictures and videos if the girls. It's cheaper, safer from accident and travel discomfort and obviously saner.

The same Mr Bosun that made many unfounded lies about APC islamization of Nigeria? I'll take his words with several pinches of salt,he lacks integrity. BTW, Oyedepo never openly supported PDP or GEJ, he simply prayed for him which is what God commands us to do for our leaders. Mr Bosun has told yet another lie.

Joagbaje:
What is the succour



How ?

I don't know why you guys just can't hold up than getting into the flesh to insult. The word of God does not need gra gra. Present it plainly without working up emotion and anger ok.

I'm sure you've gotten yourself into a corner hence na biting remain. But the question still remain .

A man prophesied . There' is a terrorist attack coming , tighten your security. Another man prophesied economic crisis is coming. You said the one of economic crisis is the correct one. Tell us what that prophecy has and the one of terrorist does not have . When we are through with this ones I will bring other prophecies out . We go study prophecy today.

Succour means help or relief for somebody or something in a difficult or unpleasant situation.
Act 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea:
Act 11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

i believe and hope you get that, but just in case you don't. Check a dictionary to confirm the meaning of succour, and check other Bible versions/translations of the same passage.
i do not recall insulting you, but i apologise if you felt insulted by the post. Twice, you overlooked or failed to look at the DIFFERENT things that i mentioned that the Word from God can do. i did not imply or state that it must do all at all times. i said and explained that it EITHER does this or that, so it was unfortunate that you kept replying like i only mentioned soulwinning. i have not bitten you, neither am i hungry to.

On your intentions to study, or is it teach us about prophecy, that is nice. Prophecy is basically a Word from God, it's that 'general'. However, i guess you are referring to the act of foretelling, or saying something before it happens THROUGH DIVINE HELP. Most prophecy can be simply a forthtelling or declaration of the Word. But we are in the FORE telling context, right? TB's utterance in that video in the OP are not prophecy but prediction or speculation, and they are definitely NOT from the Lord. Sorry if it offends you but we also have the Spirit of God and are permitted to prove all things and test every spirit. This case is hardly even a spirit, except it is TB's spirit itself at work. It is mere speculation, conjecture that even the News agencies reported. Telling us that terrorists were still in France is not a revelation or a prophecy. CNN reported that the terrorists were being tracked, so obviously normal and secular intelligence, and anybody following the news knew. If you do not know, please Google it, or ask vooks to help(ask and you will receive). Telling us to expect terrorist attack in the North-South is akin to saying the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. It is obvious.
Now, the prediction part is that it will happen either on Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or Saturday or Sunday. He should tell that to kids please. Unfortunately, we are told that the terrorists did not strike in France, neither did they strike on any of the five options he chose including the Wednesday lifeline he added. So, his prediction has no base, no reason, no standing, no hope, no nothing sef.
Agabus's PROPHECY came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. The message was clear and it happened. There was no prior indication, tendency or attack. No trend or clue. The church was basking in grace, following Jesus and being called christians, sharing food and even fighting and murmuring over food, appointing Holy Ghost filled people to share food, and then the prophecy came, and was fulfilled. It prepared the people, believers made informed decisions, sent through and to specific people, and mitigated the effect of the famine/dearth. That is what prophecy is like. Not all these nairabetlike talk captured in that picture vooks gave earlier today.

The 7th Assembly had majority PDP while this 8th Assembly has majority APC, right

i do not care if they came from America or Togo, you continue to miss the point. Are you sick? Was it the Senate/NASS that passed or passes budget or any political party? The Senate/NASS knew they will sign,approve and pass, yet they were dancing and acting drama unseriously wasting good time. If you cannot comprehend that, simply ignore it.

Well, if you can believe in dead Jews, you can believe in anything. No faith is a waste.. You have nothing to lose.

Young boy, i don't believe in dead Jews, i believe in the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. He promised me the hope of eternity, He gave me life, He created the world, He brought me to where i am today from where i was, He gave my sibling legs to walk again when all doctors could do was xrays, crutches and shaking of heads, He took my sins away. You, you cannot even promise me 5,000naira not to talk of giving me. i definitely cannot put or waste faith in you. You that can't see beyond your nose. How many books have you written in your life?lol. Write Bible, and get more just 100,000 followers then get back to me.

Gombs:
I'm stunned at this response,not just because it's sooooooooooo wrong but by the moniker.

Let me take you down memory lane, there was a prophet here on nairaland some Years back, dear Lord, I can't remember his name, but Goshen360 did a risky venture saying he's testing him, after he lied about his personality, all in a bid to discredit him.

Joagbaje was on the forefront teaching about prophecy and all, will you say he was prejudiced because the said prophet is a nairalander or is he also a friend of pastor Chris?

Take heed my dear friend.

Thank you for the care and advice, i truly appreciate it.
However, on Jo, i understand the context for you, and the inclination to 'touch not'. Fortunately, this is a public forum where anyone using it should expect some level of interaction, criticism, questioning and scrutiny including Jo. When i say Jo, note that i am quite specific and "personal". i am not referring to all your church members or to your lead Pastor. i know Jo(even before you knew him) as to be able to comment on him. In this particular case/thread, Jo is prejudiced and it is because it is his pastor's friend. The so called prophecy is clearly faulty and wrong, and normally Jo would have seen it, except for his noted tendency to always support anything and everything your lead Pastor does or supports. That is the underlying cause of his actions. i'm not insulting him or anything, it is just what is happening. i'm not saying that Jo does not defend or help people.

Is that how the incorruptible incorrigible man of integrity and his APC party of saints witches plan to deliver their promise of TRANSPARENCY
What manner of change chain?

Mr man, i know one should start early and make hay while the sun shines, and all such advice. But for God's sake, election and campaign is over. Wait till another election year and stop all these childish behavior, making everything about political parties and whatnot. The Senate gragra on this budget and after every thing, all the major issues and indices are intact. Even the unserious 7th Assembly usually made main changes in the budget like oil benchmarks, increasing budget allocation, etc. These ones just wasted everybody time. Simples.

Make una no vex my people as i no get anything to talk for this matter. Just a little rusty, abeg what is the issue about Moses once separated from his wife
and married an African woman. until his wife was
later brought back. i'm not sure i recall this episode, please where's it again, thank you.
