If it takes this for you to figure out the scam, then you need more spiritual help that the Adeboyes of this world.

For the record: God is not talking to any of those charlatans. It is one of the greatest transfer of wealth from the masses to their pockets. A motivational speaker is not necessarily a man of God. But in Nigeria, the line is not decipherable.

Your Nigerian pastors will beg to disagree.

Even the Pope is in on the human security game.

For those claiming closer link with the almighty God, do they know what you don't know?

I honestly believe that most high profile "men of God" do not believe in God. They are playing a probability game. It is all act.

The moment you notice Nigerians follow a particular trend is the moment a rational mind should stay away.

If it is beneficial and progressive, Nigerians would not touch it with a ten feet pole.

Common sense.

Nigerians can never get anything right.

The United States of America Embassy in Nigeria has clarified that dress code is not a requirement for obtaining the country's visa.

Speaking during a Facebook live session on Wednesday, the consular officers said that the applicants could come with their traditional wears as it makes look unique.

The officials addressed the common mistakes seen on DS 160 application form, stating that no one needs to have someone residing in the US and also no prior travelling experience is needed before one can be granted visa.

When asked if dress code is being considered during interviews, an official said: “No. It’s not a consideration when doing your interview.

“Be comfortable. Don’t feel like you need to put on a suit if you don’t usually wear a suit. Don’t wear a suit. Wear what you would wear if you are going to any normal appointment.

“We want you to be you. We want you to be as relaxed as possible for the interview. Talk to us.”

The level of preparation the black people put into going for visa interview in the US Embassy would earn them a place in heaven if such seriousness is applied to their spiritual life.

Yet they argue that they are equal to the whites
An American wants to visit Nigeria? Just mail in your passport and be issued a visa. No interview necessary. So much for equality and our greatness.

He killed someone and they let him escape with just a broken head?

This is why SARS killing will continue. Eye for an eye would have been a better option.

Congratulations to Ike Ekweremadu for being a refined thinker. Boy! I am impressed. That is a pure educated proposal akin to what is obtainable in the western world.

It is all about national interests --a term vast majority of educated illiterates in Nigeria are not conversant with. Developed nations place embargo on products that will affect their economy. Some offer subsidies to local producers to be able to compete effectively in global commerce.
For now, the reality is that Nigeria is very dependent on oil. It will be foolhardy to support electric vehicle which will adversely affect oil prices in future.

Tbh I don't think racism will be eradicated until the world comes to an end. So long as there are dark skinned and white skinned people, and so long as the white skinned people continue to somehow see themselves as being a superior specie, racism will continue. Sometimes racism exists solely in the mind and they may not say it out. Even some of the white skinned people you see openly condemning racism, in their minds they still feel somehow superior to the dark skinned people. Why won't they? See this quota:
▷More than 65% of the world's richest people are white skinned
▷More than 60% of popular inventors today are white skinned people
▷More than 80% of Fortune 500 companies are owned/managed by white skinned people
▷More than 80% of the world's top 1000 universities are founded by and run by white skinned people
▷The continent considered as the origin of black people- Africa, in 2019 is still wallowing in economic darkness, while the western world is tech advancing at a crazy speed of light. While most western countries are already investing into technology that is creating living conditions in extra terrestrial planets, the continent's 'giant' Nigeria, still come to social media to celebrate when a welder forms crude metal sheets into the seeming shape of a 'car' that doesn't move, while others are immersed in diabolical wars, large scale corruption, politicians thinking 1980s in 2019 etc.
A disaster happens in the western world and people's first thinking is what they can do to help, with millions of donations flowing in to aid victims, In Africa the first thinking is that it's not my business, in some cases it's how I can benefit from the disaster to become richer.

In all honesty, we can begin to tackle racism when the black man upgrades his way of thinking

/
Blacks are the ones supporting racism. If they look inwards and uplift themselves beyond victims, beggars, whiners; perhaps the world will respect them.
There are enough mineral resources in Africa to cater to the world but Africans do not know the values until white skin shows up to educate them. A situation where the highest producer of oil in Africa lacks the mental and technical capacity to refine the products (even with all the Ph.Ds they crank out every year) should call for sober reflection. Inventions? No! The blacks are competing among themselves on consumption instead of production. Respect is earned. I can go all day as to why blacks are the objects of ridicules
in the world.

Sadly, the blacks believe they are wise.

Most often than not...

A lady goes for the richest guy she can attract while a man goes for the most beautiful lady he can afford.

A made man can afford better just as a lady with upgraded looks will go for a richer man. That's all.

OK...

What if I told you guys that we could have MODERN AMBULANCES, ETC...like the ones we see aborad....IF WE PAID MORE TAXES.

Many Nigerians cry about how bad things are, and then port to countries like Canada, UK and US...where they pay municipal taxes as high as N30000 monthly or more....and in return, ambulance service is among the stuff provided.

Our health care budget was N800billion out of N8 trillion naira...that's 2billion USD. In the USA...the state of New Youk has a budget of $160BN USD.

And we expect miracles from our scanty budget of $22trillion naira.?

And corruption is eating our budget as well...meanwhile PDP and APC supporters are defending their corrupt politicans well well...


If you want nice stuff....PAY TAXES. If you want increased funding..PAY HIGHER TAXES. Our tax rate is 0-24% In developed countries it can be has high as 50% per annum.


MODIFIED

Guys....YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO BUY A CAR OF 8 million for just 8000 naira

Yet you guys want USA , UK , EUROPEAN level of CARE for a fraction of the amount they spend there for health care??




By the way, anyone who quotes me to insult or abuse me would be reported to the mods. I have made my point without insults. You can do the same too. Uncivilized remarks would be reported.

/
In the current environment, pay all the taxes you want and nothing will change. Taxation without transparency and accountability is idiotic.

The government cannot give account of the billions they make from oil sales. Do you think it is your tax naira they will expend judiciously? Keep reading Economic textbooks.

If they tell you how they made the money, will you believe them?

Peter Okoye is 100% correct.

But everyone cannot own a business. There will always be slaves and masters.

There are many successful businesses handed down from generations. But losers will scavenge for the ones that failed to support their laziness.

By the way, that your place of employment is owned by someone's dad. It didn't fall from heaven. Even the multinationals, the higher up the pyramid, the less the congestion. Thus the bottleneck ends up in a few families' bank account.

Handing down a business to your family doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be the ones running it. The son can hire competent and educated financial slaves to run it and pay them a token at the end of each month. How else do you think the wealthy fellows stay afloat?

Amuocha:
Amazing

"He mentioned eight deities in Igbo land, including Idemili, Ogwugwu, Ulasi, Agwu, Akwu, Ala, Edo and Ofala, which he declared as idols, and warned true Christians to steer clear of them and anything linked to them"

- in SW, this does not hold...you can be a pastor and lie, you can still take pastoral role with Sango altogether

/
The bishop is correct.

Idemili, ulasi, etc are idols made by men while the crucifix and statues of virgin Mary they bow down and worship were sent down from heaven.

Pot calling kettle black?

jayfolarin:
I mentioned something similar in one of the threads I created a while back.

Nigerians want the best things. You know, things like the Europeans have but dont want to pay for it. How do expect world class infrastructures to be built when 90% do not even pay taxes. Just with Oil money

It doesn't work that way my friends. Nigerians have to collectively contribute to achieving the Nigeria of our dreams.

/
Good observations!

Except that those whose pensions were raided by the likes of Maina are yet to recover from the shock and you expect Nigerians to pay taxes when the little they have is being wasted or looted right in their presence.

Putting the cart before the horse? It seems. The government has shown zero diligence in accountability. Only a slowpoke will voluntarily pay taxes in such an environment.

I just wonder if the Chinese people also says... "zhuang man working with twitter"..

/
The kind of things they celebrate in Nigeria makes one wonder.

Do what I did. Just give up.

/

/
This is why God created the brain. Use it.

It is not for sitting around, quoting Bible and koran verses while praying and hoping that God picks your call.

By the way, China is neither a Christian nor islamic nation. I guess the Chinese will be going to hell in a hand basket. Is that why they are all over Nigeria giving loans and building the nation for the ones who claim to know God the most?

Mental laziness is one of the biggest threats among
Africans.

alBHAGDADI:
David, Abraham, Moses and all the prophets before Jesus all believed in Jesus our God. See scriptures below.

Genesis 15:6
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Romans 4:3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

John 5:46
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me

If Moses, David and Abraham didn't believe in Jesus, then how come they wrote about him? They even looked forward to his coming. This is why they are in heaven today, because believe in Jesus is what gets one saved and a candidate of heaven. The Bible said it...

John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

.All the prophets before the time of Jesus looked froward to the cross of Jesus and were saved. We today look back on the cross of Jesus and are saved. Those in the past who didn't look forward to Jesus cross aren't saved and are in hell. Those today not looking back on the cross aren't saved and are going to hell just like you.

Get the original version of the Bible and not the watered down version to fit Christian narratives.

King James gave the translators instructions intended to ensure that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of, and reflect the episcopal structure of, the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy.[8] The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England.[9] In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible for Epistle and Gospel readings (but not for the Psalter, which substantially retained Coverdale's Great Bible version), and as such was authorised by Act of Parliament.[10]

It is akin to holding the Nigerian Constitution under Gen. Abacha as the final authority because the supreme leader sanctioned it.

The separation of church and politics that Nigerians like to quote is not a universal law. It was only promulgated by the United States after fighting for independence from England. The forefathers noted in dismay how the kings and queens had used religion to subjugate the masses and wanted deviation from the shenanigans.

Religion had always been a tool for oppression. I dare say that most of you zealots are mere zombies vomiting the doctrine that were fed to you.

If worshipping a tree gives you a peace of mind, by all means go for it. But don't tell others that your choice of religion is the truth and the only truth. How many versions of Christianity exist? Why? People continued to evolve and follow the pathway that fit their narratives. God is never confused.

alBHAGDADI:
Is David any different from we called Christians today? No he isn't as long as it's the same God we believe in. He also believed in Jesus, which makes him no different from his.

/
Which Jesus Christ did David believe in?

Christians claim that Jesus said that no one can go to the father except through him. Oh well. David, Solomon and even Moses didn't go through Christ to communicate with God.

God is God. Any claim by any religious sect as the only way to get to God is what it is--a claim. Saying that your doctrine is the right one is what begets all the violence and animosity we have today. Interestingly, Christians (in Nigeria) harbor extreme hatred among themselves: Catholics vs Anglican vs Pentecostal vs Baptists. Yet they all claim to be followers of Christ. In some areas, it is a taboo for a member of one Christian denomination to marry someone of different denomination. So much for the love of Christ! Give me a break!

When was the last time your lecturers took any continuing education class? It is a case of the blind leading the blind. Moreover, there are not enough industries to absorb the engineering graduates that the universities and polytechnics are churning out every year. Most of the engineers end up working as technicians.

/

/
Don't be surprised to hear most Nigerians say that David and Solomon were Christians.

99.99999% of christians in Nigeria have not read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. They are mere cherry-pickers who end up vomiting the same information they were fed by their equally cherry-picking scammers commonly referred to as pastors.

The truth is that the more you read the Bible, the more questions you will have. Many people who did, ended up more confused than when they started. It is safer to remain in ignorance.

Is it possible to receive a honourary degree from a university at the convocation of an entirely different university they are not affiliated to

Can you rent a hall in a hotel and have a wedding reception if you are not affiliated with the hotel? There you have it.

The European-American university only exists online. If you have $2500 to spare, they will give you an honorary Ph.D.

Simple.

This is why Nigerians are hated and others cannot wait to kill them. Sudan is going through her trial times and the citizens are up in arms, protesting to secure their future.

After all the struggles, guess who show up? Nigerians!
Running away from their problem to move to enjoy the fruits of labour of those who dare to challenge their leaders. Will they even do it quietly? No! Like locusts, they invade. Then the xenophobic attacks start...and they cry foul.

Report has it that a Turkish man stabbed a Nigerian accountant multiple times and injured him at their place of work in Osun state.

It was gathered that the victim, was attacked by his Turkish boss who allegedly stabbed him for omitting "sir" while addressing him, according to Abdulmumin K. Suleiman who shared the report online.

It was scopped that the victim who is seeking justice over the alleged brutality by his boss, is being threatened with sack and denial of benefits at his place of work.

According to Abdulmumin, the Turkish boss has fled the country to evade justice.

Good for him.

How many hours did it take him to get home, pack his things, get a ticket and fly away?

A man that cannot defend himself at home is as good as dead. The victim should be jailed for 6 months for cowardice. He is going to get justice in court after the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The whole street would have burned if it were an Hausa or Igbo man that stabbed him.
