The man is a gratuitously mendacious oaf . His only value,if any, is comedic.

The North would be happy to humilate Soludo because he was ruthless and anti-north in the last February currency change. Whether he was used by OBJ or he had his own agenda in using his office to remove the arabic inscription from the currency, he was clearly motivated by partisan religious considerations in his decision. For this reason, and for wasting scarce monetary resources in frivolous currency change, he deserve no pity and nobody should shed crocordile tears for him.

Hardly surprising that the handmaids of the Arabs view Soludo's opposition to the inclusion of Arab inscriptions as a cardinal offence

Tornadoz:
Over 70% black people would vote democrats any day and in any election. Since you have a monopoly of information of how well the Reps have treated black people, maybe you should share it.

Ok,Tornadoz,feel free to feed us your nauseating pablum

Naija never ceases to amaze, This is a country where :
*an islamic study graduate becomes the finance minister

I thought Shamsudeen Usman holds a PHD in economics from the LSE,University of London?

Mamajama:
I'm not too sure if you can float such a huge amount of money to a country like United state without some strong stipulation and taxation. I will look into that for you. or why will people engage in money laundry?

Its money earned through criminal activities that needs laundering.

Mamajama:
I-man
any interest you earn on that money is taxable in AMERICA, SO please don't bring your money here, lol

That is negligible in the context of your entire assets.I was responding to the impression he created that 40% of your money will be gone as taxable income.

Its probably men dressed in "monkey outfit"

Seun:
If I were rich, I would not pack my money abroad because of all the excessive (40%+) tax i'd have to pay!

Tax is on income and not wealth.If you simply withdraw money from Nigeria and bank it in the West,you won't pay such tax.If you were working,on the other hand,any money you earn(income) will be taxed.

The idea of taking your money abroad is that it is safer and inflation is much lower here(single digit inflation).Human beings are essentially self-interested.People,firstly, do what they think is good for themselves not what they think is good for the country.That its not in Nigeria's interest to bank abroad won't stop people from doing so if they think its in their best interest.

The real challenge is to create a stable economic environment where people can feel confident to invest their assets.

Presumably,the Team deals with the Nigerian economy as a whole,hence,the Finance Minister should also be excused,since that will amount to him being a judge in his own case.

The problem is not whether he retains his independence but the utility of having the person in charge of monetary policy,in such a body.We don't know the full remit of the Team but I presume,from its name and members,that the nature of its function is advisory and deliberative in respect of the economy.That demands the prescence of the head of the CBN

A government's economic policy rests on 2 pillars-Monetary and fiscal policy.Soludo happens to be directly responsible for monetary policy and common sense demands that he be in such a "National Economic Team".

The guy fit be "shit packer" for the world's biggest consulting firm

Seun:
It is disgraceful for anyone with a senior secondary school leaving certificate to make such a statement. Governments cannot control prices; they can only push people into black markets while trying to.

You will be surprised that such ideas have credence amongst "educated" people.The lessons of history are never learnt.

ebos:
Please, read down the bible verses of that Mark 6:3. Don't stop at verse 3. Read it down, you will get the points clear about that portion you quoted.

Hope you tackle her well.

I don finish with am.See how long it took her to admit that she doesn't know the answer to one question.They fail to understand that the English Bible is a translation of a translation of a language.A Church that existed for 2 millenia-when there was no English Bible- will have a different perspective to a Church that was started recently.

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1429185#msg1429185 date=1187970678]Since they are NOT His brethren/siblings, please show us WHY, and also tell us the meaning of the word "brethren" as used in that context!

Edited:

You could as well tell us the meaning of "His mother" in that verse has another meaning - since you intone that "brethren" mean something else.[/quote]What does the Igbo term "nwanne" mean in English and how do you translate it?- Siblings?Relatives? The language spoken then was Aramaic-which uses "brother" like the Igbos would say "nwanne" without clearly delineating what type of relationship exists because there is no Aramaic term for cousins or step-brothers.e.t.c

The NT was written in Greek but the Greek term for "brother" like the Igbo term or the Aramaic term doesn't neccesarily translate to siblings

So only adherents of "new Churches" would take for granted "brother" or "brethren" as cast iron certainities of the type of relationships that exists.The confidence a lack of . . . .  

PS:When will you answer my question?

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1429151#msg1429151 date=1187970362]I've discussed this issue of the Papacy before; and my position is that it simply is NOT in the Bible. The Catholic Church has to tell us WHERE they copped it out from if actually it is in the Bible. Do you care to let us know?

If there's something that you don't agree with after visiting that link, please bring it forward or refer to - and let's talk about it.

Thank you.  [/quote]We know your position,but the question I asked yesterday wasn't-Whether you think the Papacy is in the Bible-but where/how the Catholic Church emerged from?

The link addresses the first question-which no one asked you- but fails to address the second question-which I asked.

I asked a simple question:

1What is The origin of Catholicism?

Your answer was:

2Where is the Papacy in the Bible?

How does No2 answer No1 ?  

Matt. 13:55
"Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?"

Did you say Mary had no other children after Christ? Perhaps I-man could help you out.

So Brethren or brothers literally and solely translates into siblings.I suppose the Bible was first written in the English Language. The confidence a lack. . . .  

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1429100#msg1429100 date=1187969886]A simple question - you will find the answer in the PAPACY - how did that emerge?[/quote]Ok,the answer is in the Papacy.So tell me how the Papacy emerged because I obviously don't know.

ebos:
@I-man,
These people are good to ask questions about Catholic this and that, but they cannot answer any question from any any Catholic person. I have 1001 questions to ask but I'm just keeping my cool to avoid causing HBP. About the Beads, Palpacy, Mary Not Having other Children after Christ - I will address them maybe on Monday. I can only read now. These people really caused me headache here.

I asked her the question 2 days ago.Instead of answering,she asked me where the Papacy is in the Bible.I am still waiting for her to answer the simple question.It feels like engaging in a debate with Muslims.

@pilgrim.1

You post with the confidence a lack of knowledge brings.The Othordox Churches do not deny the Catholic's claims and vice versa. The Othordox Churches are the only Churches recognised by Catholicism.They too engage in what you may call "Mary worshipping" .

It still leaves unanswered the question I asked 2 days ago-How did the Catholic Church emerge?A simple question.

The sooner they get rid of McLaren,the better.He is tactically naive and incapable of inspiring the players.They made a massive error in overlooking Sam Allardyce and they are praying the price

Ya gbigibi ,ya ko korokoro  I dey in the Holy Spirit,see as I dey speak in tongues!   

2 days and counting,and Pilgrim 1 hasn't answered my initial question

Tornadoz:
@ALHAMBRALincoln is no longer leading the Republican party and would you say with all sincereity, the policy of the Rep is better suited to you as a black person? Be careful what you wish for, the Republican party don't give a damn about  black people.

If you are in favour of :pro-life,anti-gay marriage,lower tax,smaller Government,free trade and pro-business policies,you will be pro-Republican.

More Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act.There are some contemptible members of the Republican party but it will utter foolishness to claim that the party as a whole,doesn't care about Black people

This forum needs a mental health certification for all its users.We have some raving lunatics as members

I dey wear sandal for winter period!Wetin una think?People tell me to stop wearing it.I need some ladies advice

That Act is a gargantuan monster.The statutory codification of Director's duties was probably the most significant contribution it made to Company Law.

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1425532#msg1425532 date=1187897717]My persuasion: the Catholic Church is not the same thing as we read in the Bible about the early Church.
  Your persuasion: the early Church is the Catholic Church.
  My query: please show me that it is so from the Bible.
  your query: please show me the history of my Catholic Church!
  My follow-up response: okay, let's take it in bits and start with examining the Papacy system from the Bible.
  your follow-up response: I'm still waiting for you to show me the origin of my Catholic Church.

Now, I-man. . . if you assert that the Catholic Church is in the Bible and yet cannot defend the Papacy system, what games are you introducing here? [/quote]I asserted that the Church is in the Bible? Classic straw man argument.I implied rather that this is a credible view of the Church's origin-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Roman_Catholic_Church  

However,you said that the Church has no links to the Early Church to which I then said-presuming you are absolutely right and this is the case-how then did this Catholic Church come into being and what happened to the "Real Church".

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1425410#msg1425410 date=1187895571]I haven't read it in the Bible. If e dey there, make someone from the Catholic Church simply quote am.

I'm sure its not the poster's picture in his profile. He just wants to invite us to make fun of an ugly man's picture
