Embarrass you say I laugh in Spanish. You truly think Tinubu doesn’t know these guys?? If someone embarrasses me, I will embarrass them back by publishing their names. Let Nigerians know who they are. These guys and their sponsors aren’t ghosts.

But guess what?? He won’t.

Because they are all complicit. All of them.

So go ahead and keep making excuses for someone who doesn’t give a hoot about you and your posterity.

📖 Where does “abstain from blood” come from?

The clearest place is:

📖 Acts 15:28–29 (NIV)

“It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality…” This instruction was given by the early church leaders, including Peter the Apostle and James the Just.

What did “blood” mean in their time?
To understand this, we must go back to earlier Scripture:
Leviticus 17:10–11 (NIV)
“I will set my face against any Israelite… who eats blood. For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement…”

📖 Genesis 9:4 (NIV)
“But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.”

🌍 Historical Context (Very Important)
In Bible times:
• People drank or ate blood as part of pagan rituals
• Animals were sometimes killed without draining blood (strangled meat)
• Blood was seen as sacred because it represented life
So the command to “abstain from blood” meant:

Do not consume blood as food or in ritual practices

So… is it talking about blood transfusion?

No—not directly.

Why?
• Blood transfusion as a medical practice did not exist in Bible times
• The discussion in Acts 15 is about:
• Food
• Idolatry
• Cultural practices between Jews and Gentiles

It’s not addressing medical procedures.

Why the instruction was given

The early church was trying to solve a major issue:
• Jewish believers had strict laws about blood
• Gentile believers did not

So this instruction helped:
• Maintain unity
• Avoid offending Jewish Christians
• Keep believers away from pagan practices

How do Christians understand it today?

There are different views:

1. Most Christians believe:
• The command refers to eating blood, not medical use
• A blood transfusion is about saving life, not consuming blood

This aligns with the principle that:
📖 Mark 2:27 (NIV)

“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”

Meaning: God’s laws are not meant to destroy life, but to preserve it.

2. Some groups (like Jehovah’s Witnesses) believe:
• Any use of blood, including transfusion, should be avoided

They take a stricter interpretation.

A deeper principle to hold

The Bible consistently teaches:
• Blood represents life
• Life is sacred
• God values the preservation of life

So the question becomes:

👉 Is the action dishonoring life—or preserving it?

💡 Final clarity
• “Abstain from blood” in Scripture = do not eat or misuse blood in a ritual sense
• It was not originally about medical transfusions
• The modern application depends on how one interprets biblical principles

MaxInDHouse:
The OP is misleading but since people like you don't care to Make sure of all things {1Thessalonians 5:21} i will help you.

The scriptures says:
"Abstain from BLOOD"
Genesis 9:4
Leviticus 17:11, 14
Deuteronomy 12:16, 23
Act 15:20, 29; 21:25

In all the above God's word is talking about blood from external sources not your own blood that could be drained and transfused back into your body!🙂

I totally get your thought.

However this is about an individual’s wiring or mindset.

I’m sure with your mindset, you would also have an issue in saying Thabk you tö those who are in your employ or offer you service— like artisans, drivers, cleaners, etc.

Saying Thabk you doesn’t make you less nor does it mean the person is your source, it simply tells more about the state of your heart— one filled with gratitude and not taking anything for granted.

I thank drivers, artisans, vendors who work for me even after paying them. It is me placing value on their services and letting them know they are appreciated.

I worked with a woman some years ago whom I always thanked after she sends me a very meager sum. That little act I believe was why she didn’t find my replacement even though I wasn’t indispensable.

I am wired tö thabk people for everything— little or big. If they get prideful over it, it reveals their state of heart to them, and it is hardly my issue.

My own role is to spread positivity with every opportunity I am given.

There are lots of competent people who can take up any job I am offering, rhat the employer gave me a chance, is him/her choosing to patronize me above others and that deserves my Thabk you.

As I Thabk God for helping me stay engaged and not being jobless, I also remember the channel He chose to bless me through. Again, it doesn’t make me less, it simply shows me the state of my heart.

And I am fine with it.

Everyone should stay with what works for them. There are no rules tö this.

We dauthor=Nazgul post=137568213]Thanking your boss for paying you for services you rendered seems awkward to me.

Your salary is not a gift. It’s not charity. It’s not a personal favour. You showed up for 30 days, dealing with stress, deadlines, pressure, sickness, unexpected tasks...etc, and all the wahala that comes with the job. Yet you still gave your best to keep the company moving. That is value. And value deserves compensation.

Sadly, a lot of Nigerians have been conditioned to see basic their rights as privileges. So instead of standing confidently on the fact that you earned your pay, they act like the boss did them a special favour by releasing the salary they already worked for.

Yes, you can be respectful, professional, and appreciative of good working conditions, but collecting your salary is not something you should feel indebted for. You’re not being blessed, you’re being paid what you deserve.

It’s time people started valuing their effort and understanding that compensation is a Right, not a privilege.[/quote]

Interesting perspective.

But if we must discuss religion, then let’s start here: are we even certain Wike is a Christian? Titles don’t always translate to conviction.

Beyond that, everyday life teaches us lessons that help us fulfil purpose. If the only analogies that make sense to someone are strictly Christian examples, then we severely limit how God speaks. Scripture shows God using ravens, foreign kings, Pharaoh, and even a donkey to teach and correct. So learning from a person’s disposition or character does not mean endorsing their faith. It simply means you are wise enough to see patterns.

This post is about Yerima’s posture, Yerima’s obedience, and Yerima’s refusal to be distracted.
It has nothing to do with who he worships.

If a Muslim or African Traditional Religion practitioner displays discipline, courage, or integrity, does it suddenly become worthless because it didn’t come from a Christian? That kind of thinking will make a person blind to the lessons God places around them daily.

And let’s be honest: Yerima being a soldier perfectly illustrates what Scripture already teaches us.
Paul said:
• “Endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ”
• “No soldier entangles himself with civilian affairs”

If I must look specifically for a Christian soldier before I can be inspired, then I’ve already missed the point. God uses anything and anyone to remind us of Kingdom posture.

So, between “Wike is a Christian and Yerima is a Muslim,” lies one truth:
character is not tied to religion—character is revealed in conduct.

Again, thank you for your comment.

CodeTemplarr:
Between your example and this case lies a constitution that changes it all.
Wike na Christian and Yerim na moslem

We must not miss the lesson in the Yerima and Wike situation, because it mirrors our walk as Christians in a very real way.

Remember the young prophet in 1 Kings 13.
God gave him clear, direct instruction: deliver the message, do not eat, do not drink, and do not return the same way. But an older prophet came with a contrary word, and he listened. That one decision cost him his life because he left the authority of God’s instruction and opened the door to the enemy.

Yerima also had a clear mandate from his boss, and Wike’s voice came like the old prophet’s—loud, influential, intimidating, but contrary. Yerima held his ground. He stayed with the instruction he was given. If anyone has issues with his firmness, the matter is not with him but with the authority that sent him.

As Christians, our own authority is God, and God speaks to us through His Word.
He says, “You shall not die but live.”
He says, “You shall lend to nations.”
He says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”

No contrary voice should be given access to override what God has said. No situation you are facing should make you rewrite or reduce the narrative of God’s Word concerning you. Heaven’s instruction is final. What God has spoken stands firm.

Sometimes this bold obedience and confession of truth is called pride or arrogance. It is not. It is light. It is clarity. It is knowing who you are in Christ and refusing to surrender your mandate to intimidation.

Bashiga. No entry to distractions and stuff that doesn’t align to God’s word. Do not enter where God has not sent you. Do not open the door for the enemy by stepping outside your assignment. Mount your garrison. Stay at your duty post. Remain where God’s Word covers you. That is where safety, authority, and favour flow.

We dey flight. No distractions.

Shalom shalom.💕

Well, whatever is coming is an assumption. At least we know what we have going already. A nation where teterrorists agave taken siege over our land and are spreading gradually. So it is actually a matter of time that even the places we think are peaceful right now will be over run. If you can’t see this, I don’t know what tö say.

See how Terrorists are openly carrying weapons and our govt is saying nothing. They know these guys. But they call them bandits instead of terrorists.
A nation where the Fulanis are immune to the law.

A nation where we claim to rehabilitate terrorists and incorporate them into our military.

Where is the sentiments coming from, please?

The senate President read the rules so you know why she couldn’t tread on it and Senate Oshiomowole was clear as well. They already instituted a committee to review the clause and they were to report back on 2 weeks, she should be talking to the committee.

Please, if Akpabio has allowed her to speak, it would go against the Senate rule which was what Adams Oshiomwole pointed out.

If you noticed, Akpabio wanted to give her preference but Adam’s Oshiomwole called him to order.

Please, being a woman doesn’t mean we are above the rules that bind an institution.

And yes, I’m a woman and No! I am not an APC fan.

owobokiri:
They should allow this lady to do her job.
It is called Nigerias Senate and NOT Akpabios Senate..
Everyone of them was elected as a Senator. They are equals. That Akpabio was made the Senate President, is not enough reason for him to be acting like a School Principal.

Free that woman and allow her do the work her constituency elected her to do..
This level of ruthlessness under Akpabio and Tinubu has never been seen in Nigerias democratic history..
The Senate and this very executive are acting more tyrannical than Abacha and his Provincial Ruling Council..

Akpabio and Tinubu; Lay off this lady...

Nice analysis. Well done.

However, I don’t think your permutations are without flaws.😊😊

I’m an ardent supporter of Peter Obi anf I’ll say this:

If we had a system where our votes counted, your analysis could work. But the INEC chairman cannot counter his employer; else he’d be jobless.

The opposition ought tp have been pushing for electoral reforms if they believed the 2023 elections was rigged, but sadly, they are quiet.

This is why I won’t be voting come 2027, unless there are electoral reforms.

That said, fielding Atiku as the presidential candidate is the smartest way to have a shot at the North, as the North don’t trust Peter Obi to do a single term.

That is a very strong consideration which was why Goofluck Jonathan came into the picture in the first place— he is sure to do just 4 years.

So my take is simple:

Peter Obi should deputize Atiku Abubakar. That’s the surest and fastest way to get a South Eastern President. Atiku will want to leave that legacy.

Penguin2:
I’m not going to write long tales. Yeah, I will just go straight to the point.

With the wave of defections going on, very soon all Southern Governors might be in APC.

And if we check very well, almost all Southern governors who are yet to join APC seem amenable to Tinubu’s re-election.

Name them, Gov Adeleke of Osun is not in APC today because of the pushback of APC stalwarts in Osun.

Gov Otti of Abia has never hidden his friendship with Tinubu.

Gov Diri is touted to have resigned from PDP en route APC.

Gov Fubara is only a governor on paper that even if he doesn’t defect cannot do much to harm Tinubu’s gameplan for Rivers.

Only Makinde seems to be on his own and that’s because he wants to answer Presidential candidate in 2027.

My point is, with what is currently happening in the south, the ADC or any opposition coalition giving their ticket to a northerner will just make 2027 Presidential Election an easy ride for Tinubu as it will become a north vs south affair. And with vast of the Middle Belt amenable to Southern sentiments, and with whatever Tinubu would be able to muscle from the rest of the North, he’s sure to win in 2027.

So, if the opposition is truly interested in challenging Tinubu in 2027, their ONLY option is to willingly hand the ticket to Peter Obi.

Why? Because with Obi, the south will be broken; with Obi taking Southeast and Southsouth again.

Again, the Middle Belt and northern Christians are still sold out to Obi.

Then you add whatever influence Atiku and his men can bring for Obi from the core North and you will see Tinubu struggling, if not beaten silly.

This is the only practical, logical and realistic option left for the opposition.

If you think they have a better option, convince us otherwise.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

fergie001:
Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the plan, even as Israeli forces continued to escalate attacks in Gaza, killing at least 30 people on Tuesday. Israel however, stoutly opposed a two state solution.

The Palestinian Authority, which partially governs the Israeli-occupied West Bank, said it welcomed Trump’s efforts and pledged to make reforms that would allow it to return to governance. A senior Hamas official said the group would begin studying the proposal, which it received from Mideast mediators Egypt and Qatar, before responding.

Trump in his speech threatened that the US will back Israel to do whatever is necessary if Hamas fails to accept the plan.

"If Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible... as you know, Bibi, you'd have our FULL BACKING to do what you would have to do”. - Trump told Netanyahu

Brahamimo:
So, that was the only thing you were able to read and understand from the whole write-up. This post isn't for you then

When people make a comment like this about marginalization of the South West as INEC chairman. I hope they also see that the Igbos are not wrong for demanding a president from the South East.

By the way, I am not Igbo.

seunmsg:
Very funny dude. Why did he have to make his argument about North and South? When it is convenient, they lump the south west with the south to hide the marginalization of Yorubas. When it is not convenient, they single out the south west and claim all appointments are going to only Yorubas.


The fact that should be clearly stated is that no Yoruba people has even been appointed to head Nigeria’s electoral commission since independence. Even if we are to look at it only from 1999, SS(twice), SE, NW and NE have all been INEC chairman. In fact the north has been in charge of INEC for the last 15 years. So, for equity sake, everyone should be clamoring for an INEC chairman from the south west. That’s the only sensible argument anyone can make.

Again, the comparison is gross.

Tinubu is the president of Nigeria. So it he isn’t held responsible for the impunity in the land who should be held responsible?

Peter Obi is a private citizen. How can’t you see it?

zero8zero:
How many threads have you dragged Tinubu where it had nothing to do with him?. Even Gbajue can't stop mentioning Tinubu everyday.
Is the court of law not also a state institution, what's stopping Obi from dragging Deji there?, Or did his lawyers who wrote the letter on his behalf tell him the courts are on strike?

So much water went under the bridge and her sanction was based on all of them-- from the drama she first had with the Senate President that saw Nigerians on her side and I think the SP apologized.

That episode made her very vocal trusting that Nigerians will be on her side again.

So after being reprimanded for flouting the house rules, she ran to the public court again.

I'm not an Akpabio fan, and don't plan to be.

However, I clearly see a woman who is trying to play on the emotions of people. This is why I will never support her approach on the matter.

How she didn't scream sexual harassment until her seat was reassigned makes me believe she downplayed the sexual harassment (if any).

Her main pain was the favors she stopped receiving and for that she doesn't appeal to me as one who vehemently seeks change for a cankered system.

Dear Natasha, you are part and parcel of the crooked system. It only came for you this time.
