For instance, if someone is sentenced to six months in jail and decides to challenge the sentence, but the legal process drags on for eight months, the person ends up spending more time in prison than the sentence itself, simply because he is contesting that he was wronged in the first place. Does that make any sense to them?

Akpabio has turned the Senate into a tool of victimization, and they are all dancing to his tune. As for the PDP and others, they were co-conspirators from the very beginning; they just suddenly woke up now, ba?

Such person would not be in prison in the first place. Natasha has many cases open that time alone cannot solve or dismiss. How does she intend to work in a place that has a court case against her and a boss that she has a court case against. It's only orderly that all these drama she brought be resolved first.

Nigerians and the culture of anyhowness. May God deliver us.

LordReed:
LoLz. You're done. Bwahahahahahaha!

Of course, long time ago.

LordReed:
LoLz! Anybody can just read the screenshot and see that you left the ball and were attacking the leg. Bwahahahahahahaha!.

Of course, the attack must have been pleading with you.

LordReed:
Bwahahahahahahahahaha! So obviously discombobulated hence the twisting and turning this way and that.

Where is the twist, these are mostly things taught in children church. How am i supposed to remember that you cannot remember?

Sowore our political baby is rocking oh. They should have just left him ignored.

LordReed2nd:
LoLz. Says the guy who lashed out and got banned. Bwahahahahahaha!

Lolz, so funny. When i get banned, so it's because i am lashing out, and when you get banned it is to protect my precious snowflake feelings. You got banned about 4 times trying to reply me dear.

LordReed:
They are dead and sleeping and with Christ and waiting. Bwahahahahahaha.

Guy this your comedy is growing ever more hilarious.

Yes student, there's what is called an endless eternity to wait for. The plans, promises, and prophecies are clearly laid out in the Bible and worth waiting for. The saints on earth and in heaven are waiting for the next set of programme to kick off. We have a marriage to be done, do you know? There's judgement and ruling to await. Too bad, you don't know the surface not to mention the depths. Take in another dose of joy dear, i would be surprised and maybe 'sad' if you understood what's going on, as i know we are not supposed to be on the same wavelength.

1Co_2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Why are people scared of the rapture. Is it not something to be joyful about. A true Christian will rejoice when they hear a rapture date. I mean the ones that are waiting for his return. The ones that are not ready will be frantic.

Check my signature for brother Joshua videos, plus other people's confirmation about that date.

Rapture is something to be joyful about. However, i can tell you for free that it is not happening on those dates mentioned. i hope you stop listening to that brother after those dates. Listen to the Bible instead.
Jesus may come today, an d i pray even so come Lord Jesus. But like He stated, it will be sudden, like a thief in the night. Not something announced in South Africa or on NL. Maranatha

Has the debt reduced since subsidies removal , no ,it has even skyrocketed
The government is insincere everything they revolted against, they are doing now
It shows how shameless, deceitful and two faced they are
That's not a good trait of a good leader

You are all over the place, please focus. Explain how it is ordinary Nigerians that are bearing the brunt of the tax reforms. How is it an error policy? How is removal of subsidy an error? Do you have the money to pay? Are you unaware that the country's debts were skyrocketing due to subsidies? Our debts have reduced since removal of subsidy on fuel and fx. PMB handed over $113billion in debt, it is currently $97 billion. You may please bring up your contrary figures with credible sources. My source is the DMO.
This is not to say that there will be no borrowing, please be educated. Borrowing is a legitimate tool for financing growth and reforms. Most governments all over the world borrow. But you must borrow within your means, strategically and responsibly. There is and must be a borrowing plan, for one year and for more like the MTEF plan.

Reed seems to get on the edge just mentioning me, take it easy guy. i don't bite, remember. This one wey you just dey chop ban dey go on my case.

Arostar2023:
The problem of Nigeria is not tax but corruption, wastage and maladministration. Did you not read that without tax ID no banking? This administration have never done anything but to impoverish and dip hands into the pockets of the Nigerian masses. Ordinarily, everyone should be happy about the new tax regime and it's expected returns...but guess what? An evil tree cannot bear good fruits except with divine intervention.

Tax ID is for taxable Nigerians or residents. It's obtainable in other parts of the world. Are you taxable? Do you want to evade tax? Did Jesus evade taxes?

Bloomsvilledgit:
The Rapture of the church will happen on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025. Yes, you read that correctly.

The Rapture will occur on the Feast of Trumpets, which falls on September 23rd or 24th, 2025.

I know some of you will quote Matthew 24:36: "No one knows the day or hour." And that is true—within those two days, we cannot know the exact moment. Remember, when Jesus said that, He was still on earth in His earthly ministry, so it was natural for Him to say only the Father knew. Now, He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, seated at the right hand of the Father. Jesus knows the day and the hour. It will happen on either the 23rd or 24th of September 2025. This is why He has revealed the date to our brother Joshua in South Africa.

Be aware that there may also be three days of thick darkness that will cover the whole earth. So, be prepared.

Mark your calendars for September 23rd and 24th, 2025.

Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today to be saved and ready for the Rapture.

If you wish to accept Jesus and be born again, pray this prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I turn away from my sins and invite You into my life. Be my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. Amen."

Hallelujah!

If you have rapture dreams, pls feel free to share them here.

God revealed the date to our brother Joshua in South Africa? How and when? Because i would rather believe scriptures than brother Joshua in South Africa. Just don't do anything dangerous.

Arostar2023:
The sweet thing about this tax thing is that every tribe and tongue in Nigeria go pay am. Including those who give block votes to dullards and those who thought that the administration will favor them because of tribalism. All man go pay!

This is showing a lot of ignorance boldly. What is the current tax and what is the new tax reform? Which one is worse and why? Did you employ any need for critical thinking at all in this matter?

surgical:
we will soon find out if there is a right time
That was how they told us removal of subsidies is the panacea to all our problems it will help us save money that can be applied to important areas, we have seen the negative effects of that decision
They also told us flotation of naira/ devaluation will cure all the malaise, we've seen how devastating that action has been by accentuating the multidimensional poverty and hardship in the land
Now they've shifted their focus on taxation,
It is just unfortunate that it is the ordinary Nigerians that are bearing the brunt of this their ill thought, try and error policies
They've turned Nigerians into genuine pig for their ideas, learning on the job

Please be reasonable. Explain how it is ordinary Nigerians that are bearing the brunt of the tax reforms. How is it an error policy? How is removal of subsidy an error? Do you have the money to pay? Are you unaware that the country's debts were skyrocketing due to subsidies?

LordReed2nd:
Rather to protect your precious snowflake feelings. LoLz.

And this protects what, your ego?

LordReed2nd:
This antispam bot is too much o! I got banned for this response. What was wrong with it?

Lolz, it probably got tired of the density.

LordReed:
Bwahahahahahaha! They go up to be with the Lord to patiently wait for him to come back. Can you even hear yourself.

Php 1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 
Php 1:22  But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 
Php 1:23  For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 

Nothing confusing there, the Bible is written to all, not just to dead christians. Those that are alive do not prevent those that are asleep and vice versa. Those on earth patiently wait. i understand these is all so tough for you. It's still written in the Bible.

LordReed:
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

OMFD! All those Christians corpses that have rotted to nothing are sleeping. I didn't know you rot into nothing while sleeping.

Thanks for the new comedy skit bruv. I need the laughter. LMFAO!

i understand your position and how much you need every little joy. You should study the Word more, it gives endless joy. i am glad that my discussion was at least edifying even for a scoffer, that's a positive. You must have been taught but the devourer probably ate it all up. Christians die daily, or are to die daily. Christians don't stay in corpses when they die, they go to be with the Lord. The Bible term is sleep/asleep. Surely, you must have seen it before. You give me proof that that Malachi passage is very real, and not just OT.
All the sleep in the below passages refer to death.

Joh_11:13  Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Act_13:36  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
1Co_11:30  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1Co_15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Th_4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Co_15:6  After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
1Co_15:18  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1Th_4:13  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Th_4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
2Pe_3:4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

LordReed:
Ok so you just wrote out a verse that does not appear in any translation the way YOU like it bah. LoLz.

No, i didn't, i wrote it to explain the meanings of the word and how they can come out. The Greek word ταχύ used in the chapter is a polysemous word. Like the word "head" is polysemous. It can mean the top part of the body or a leader of a group. Or the word "Light" can mean something that makes things visible (like your torchlight or electric bulb) or it might mean not heavy. Anyone can use context to understand better which meaning to take.
Similarly, ταχύ can be translated as quickly or as suddenly. Both translations to English are correct. Fortunately for us all , the KJV uses quickly, and i love that, i have no problem with it, neither do millions of christians. Nonetheless, my understanding is matured enough, yours doesn't want to be. Because you want to ignore all scripture to stick with a particular chapter/verse. Bible teaching and doctrine doesn't work that way. It works with witnesses to be established. Sticking with your narrowed translation brings up questions about the many other passages on the second coming that made no such claims, and on those that said it would need patience. It brings up questions on the same Jesus, stating that He did not know the time. If He did not know the time, how did He know it must be quickly?

Mat_24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

So, the Greek verse can be all correctly translated as the below.
Revelation 22 v 7 Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔρχομαι ταχύ. Μακάριος ὁ τηρῶν τοὺς λόγους τῆς προφητείας τοῦ βιβλίου τούτου. (Greek)
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come ταχύ: (broken)
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: (KJV)
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come soon: (Your translation)
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come suddenly: (the translation that i think more easily explains what was meant)

My usual audience is not usually thick though.

LordReed:
LoLz wait for 1000 years like you said bah. E be like say the comedy don dey make you misyarn like say ogogoro dey shak you. Bwahahahahahaha!

I don't know what you mean apart from what you wrote which was 1000. But no worry 7 years from now if Nairaland still dey we go jam make I hear how wan take dodge again. LoLz.

It doesn't matter if took 2 million years for him to come the 1st time because it was not purportedly said he would come quickly/soon/suddenly. This so called prophecy does say quickly or soon according the Bible so it makes no sense to say 2000 years is soon to people who will die in less than a 100 or how anybody can be saying it was meant they should wait patiently for an event that was not going to occur for 1000s of years after their death. That is insanity but sure keep revelling in that it will just make me laugh some more. Bwahahahahahaha!

Lolz, you already waited 2000 years, why do you have a problem with 1000 years more. At least e never reach the 4000 year wait for the 1st coming. Wait on.
There's no misyarn, just a mistake which i corrected already. It's a miracle how the devourer seems to have completely devoured everything you learned in church from your brain. i speak like you have a solid foundation of basic Bible knowledge (coming from your Winners background) only to be reminded of the sad miracle. Forgive my bad. According to the Bible which we are discussing, the antichrist will come on stage for about 7 years, after which Jesus will come with ten thousands of His saints (Jude) to reign for 1000years. i made a mistake in my previous post of putting the 1000 years before the coming instead of after. i have since corrected it by explaining that it is 7 years before. i have not said 7 years from now, but at least 7 years from now. That is, IF the antichrist were to "start work" today, then Jesus will come with His saints in the next 7 years. i brought that up from the Enoch's prophecy about it, which is even much older. Cure your ignorance from thinking that a prophecy is no longer going to be fulfilled because it didn't get fulfilled in 2000 years. i'm helping you with some science here. For example, you cannot classify a volcano as extinct simply because it wasn't active in the last 100 years. You compare it with other volcanoes and its own previous history to arrive at objective conclusions. Compare prophecy with prophecy, not with your hilarity.
When you tenaciously hold on to "soon", then be prepared to accept "soon in whose eyes". Soon is relative. See you soon may be see you in 5 mins, or 5 hours or 5 years, depending on the person or situation. Your time is not the time of a cockroach for example, whose long life is between six months to one year. God's coming soon may be in 3 days time, which is your own 3000 years time. It's in the same Bible. It is exactly what Peter used to reply skeptics that asked about the coming.
2Pe_3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 
Na you know why you no fit wait.

Where is she getting this money from?.... omo naija dey maad

Please READ. The first line of opening post says funded by a N1 billion grant from the Tony Elumelu Foundation
It's the power of influence. When you are big and connected, you'll understand better. Rich people want to donate and do all kinds of things to please you. If you write "twinkle twinkle little star," they will donate billions at your book launch. Lucky to have a first lady and president who know how to make money for us. They did it in Lagos, now they are replicating it in Nigeria.

i just love the developments hitting everywhere. i wish the opposition like Sowore, Atiku and co were this impactful.

You'll be surprised that enemies of progress and enemies of wealth will still cry miserably over this development. Please don't be, it's a divine curse. There's no other explanation.

This one too fit join ADC tomorrow to come and rescue Nigeria.

Besides here are articles just to satisfy ur distractive arguments

Your link is a facebook post and the other a satire if you know what that means. The other says and i quote
"the focus of the opposition has shifted to other issues, one of which is the argument that he, Bola Tinubu is likely to promote the proliferation of “Agbero”, “Area Boys” and other hoodlums all over Nigeria, since according to them, “he is the originator and promoter of Agbero in Lagos State and consequently in Nigeria”.

Come with facts please, not beer parlour gist. Area boys have existed in Nigeria before Tinubu ventured into politics. Opposition jokes during campaign do not cancel known facts.

LordReed:
Not convenient like saying Wait patiently I'll come suddenly when you've been dead for thousands of years. Dude the 4 fingers are pointing back at you bruv. LMAO!

Php 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Na you dey die na, christians don't die in the Bible sense, we sleep. You know say i like trouble well.

LordReed:
LoLz. How does any of this answer the question: where does it say he was coming quickly/soon/suddenly the first time around?

Instead, all you just did was bolster the notion that it is incredibly silly to interpret this as "Wait patiently I'll come suddenly when you've been dead for thousands of years", which is what you are saying. It makes not a lick of sense. Bwahahahahahahaha!

I mean you even push it to another 1000 years from now. I already said it before that people should expect Christians to do that because the 2000 year mark is approaching and that prophecy will fail as it has always and will always.

i didn't say that it says coming quickly/soon/suddenly the first time around, i wonder why i am to show you what i never said. What is said is that it is normal and scriptural for Biblical prophecies to take time. The first coming took over 4000 years, so 2nd coming taking 2000 or more years to happen doesn't bother those who know God. These are the issues.
You conveniently paraphrase what i say, but have a big problem seeing a better paraphrase or translation that may help your understanding, so funny. i showed you OTHER passages talking about waiting patiently, i'll post again so that you are not confused/behave confused.

Rom_8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Heb_12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Jas_5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

i didn't say, the Word of God says so. "Be patient unto the coming of the Lord", or turn a blind eye and cry Jesus come now now.
BTW, i did not push it to another 1000 years from now. It's all in the Bible. The saints will come with Jesus to reign for 1000 years., after what is called the Great tribulation. Sorry though, reading my post again, i meant to say at least 7 years, not 1000 years away from today.
Also, once a christian dies, the Bible teaches that he/she goes to be with the Lord.
Php 1:23  For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 

Na you know why you no fit wait.

LordReed:
BTW which version of the Bible uses suddenly? No KJV version (KJ21, AKJV, KJV, NKJV) I checked uses suddenly so tell me where you got yours from.

i don't know if any version does, i only showed you what the Greek word can mean. i didn't look for versions, i usually stick with the KJV. i just made the word bold/highlighted.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come ταχύ: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come soon: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come suddenly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Oh, i guess you are asking about the KJV in front. That was just copy and paste. i copied the verse, i just observed that it copied the KJV also. The red one is the KJV, the others are the Greek and other similar meanings.
