On the contrary, you deserve to be pitied. What is life without a conscience? Yours is gone. Traded with the wind. So I pity you.

janeedema:
If you were human, you wouldn’t post this. But it’s clear you aren't. See the country you call your own headed down with no means of recovery because of the crazy policies the man you voted in has adopted.

And you are proudly saying you will do it again.

One thing I know is that posterity will judge everyone who voted in this administration and are still bragging about it.

You guys put Nigerian in the mess it is in and posterity will judge because you think this is about obidients or not obidients.

People are suffering. Haven't you taken a look around you?

How can you still defend this government and its polices? No! You aren't human.

Why are these Obidients attacking everyone left and right on every discussion. Why are they acting as if what's happening today is for those that did not support Peter Obi alone or they think this attack and abuse will make anyone change his or her direction towards voting him in the next election. Why can't these set of people maintain decorum? Why are they always uncourt, indiscipline and very rude? They think we the rest don't know what we are doing and that they are the set of people to change the narration of this country. It's a pity we have these set of people in our society.

Dear Jagaban lovers,

What is the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda he promised Nigerians in 2023? This is over one year now. How far?

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

https://punchng.com/translating-tinubus-8-point-agenda-to-recovery/?amp

What about the 50 million jobs promised between 2023 to 2026? How many has Tinubu and his government created?

Christianity Etc › Where Are The Prophets? by janeedema(op): 2:57pm On Sep 25, 2024
Where are the Prophets?

Someone once said religion and politics don't align, and as he spoke, Prophets Elijah and Elisha readily came to mind.

This is the same Elijah who stormed into Ahab’s palace and declared, "There will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word" (1 Kings 17:1).

Then, after 3 ½ years, he returned and declared that rain would come—and boy, did it rain.

Little wonder King Ahab called him the "troubler of Israel," a title Elijah immediately refuted.

It was Prophet Elisha who anointed Jehu to kill Queen Jezebel—the first lady of Israel—and bring to pass the judgment of YAHWEH.

We also saw Prophet Nathan march to King David’s throne several times to convey the mind of God, calling him out for adultery and murder.

Oh, remember our dearest Moses, who functioned as both prophet and priest, terrorizing Pharaoh with verdict after verdict from YAHWEH. As he spoke, we saw it live—Pharaoh was scared to his bones.

How about Prophet Samuel, who went to King Saul and told him his days were numbered for not carrying out YAHWEH's instructions to the letter—and sure enough, it came to pass.

Prophet Daniel marched into King Belshazzar’s court and declared that his kingdom was divided after interpreting the handwriting on the wall, and that very night, it came to pass.

In the New Testament, we encountered Prophet John the Baptist, calling out King Herod for adultery.

Even Jesus referred to Herod as "that fox," saying, **“Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal’”** (Luke 13:32). Jesus made it clear that despite Herod's threats, He would continue His mission of preaching and healing until His work was done.

It has always been the nature of prophets to declare the mind of God, and when they speak, it comes to pass.

Prophets were known for leading secluded and humble lives, which allowed them to speak without fear or compromise.

They weren’t impressed by materialism, so you couldn’t sway them with favors to alter the truth. When they showed up at the palace, kings trembled because they knew YAHWEH had come in the form of man.

Today, I ask:

"Where are the prophets?"

Where are men like Elijah, Elisha, Moses, Nathan, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Gad, and others?

Men who speak the truth without fear or favor, and whose words over governments and territories immediately come to pass?

The prophetic ministry is a very sacred one, and more than ever, I pray that the Lord will raise men and women who will arise and speak His mind clearly to our government and our land.

How do we know when our prayers have been answered and prophets have emerged over Nigeria?

What they say will come to pass—immediately.

Yes! "Immediately" is key in this case so we can discern if they are truly of YAHWEH.

I agree that prophecies have a time allotted for manifestation.

However, it becomes an issue if all the prophecies we keep hearing over Nigeria are deferred indefinitely—how then do we judge whether the prophet is true or false?

And to address the heart of this conversation:

I believe that any religion that remains silent in the face of bad governance, oppression, hardship, and injustice is an act of cowardice.

Religion should hold government accountable, not alienate itself from its excesses—unless it endorses them.

Shalom.

Now, let me ask you:

What exactly is the tax collected from tax payers used for?

Do you realize that there are lots of people who aren't on a minimum wage? Do you even realize this?

People who can't afford to buy food or access quality healthcare.

You spew insensitivity like we have a system that ensures that all and sundry are catered for.

They shouldn't subsidize and use the money to fuel a flamboyant government.

I don't know where you are presently but that you are living in a glass house is no reason to spew out insensitivity. What comes around always comes around.

The poor are being taxed to fuel the lifestyle of the rich and that's why we are heavily indebted. Why are the sacrifices being made by the poor? Does it have any effect on the rich?

You are just plain insensitive. It isn't the truth you speak. You spew insensitivity.


nairalanda1:
1. SO that we can pay full price for full power.

2. You can type this stuff from your house because Obasanjo refused to subsidse GSM. OH he was insulted, oh people called him names, oh, people abused GSM companies well well. But they took our money and improved our telephony. We went from less than 500000 lines in 1997 to tens of millions of lines by 2007.

Try running your business where 80% of your customers owe you money, and 40% don't pay. See if it would be successful

Obaseki may want to play dirty because you are APC? And they deserve to rule or because the APC aspirant deserves to be governor?

Does this look like a game to you? Is Nigeria a game to you?

I don’t just speak to you but to your lots as well.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Harris Accepts CNN Debate Invitation For October 23, Again Challenging Trump by janeedema(f): 12:27pm On Sep 22, 2024
When you say majority of Africa Americans are against Trump. I immediately know you are working with propaganda

Illegal immigrants who fear deportation are the ones for Harris. Those who want freedom to do whatever they want with their bodies are for Harris. Most LGBT communities are for Harris.

You can use the word 'most' in these cases. Because that's the case,not otherwise.

Those who have common sense and choose to use it are voting Trump.

Everyone voting Trump have good reasons to. A better economy. Safe borders. Ending of wars.

Those voting Kamala are akin to APC supporters who have eyes but choose to be blind. Voting because she is a woman. Voting so they can have LGBT. Voting to do anything they like with their bodies. Voting so they can continually have an open border.

Like APC supporters, they vote for selfish interests.


And yes, go to read the comments on YouTube videos from most of these top TV stations and see what real Americans think. Then,go watch YouTube videos as questions on who Americans are voting for are asked people on the streets.

Stop feasting on propaganda.

MOST Americans aren't blind.

Majority of Africans in America and African Americans are against trump, cos of his racism and tough travel policies for africans.

I don’t think Nigerians will frown at paying any form of taxes if we are seeing its effects. Please, tell me in case I missed it one thing that our taxes has bettered for us?

Education? Health? Quality of life? Transportation? Feeding? Security?

quote author=FreeStuffsNG post=132061715]The fee has been reduced very very significantly from 0.5% to 0.005% (almost zero percent!) in order not to throw away the baby with the bath water and help FG deliver on the purpose meant for the fund.

0.005% on N100k (one hundred thousand naira) for example is a paltry N5 (five naira) and N50 charge on N1 million naira so it makes absolute sense, low and fair enough in my opinion. Most transactions of the poor range between N1k and N100k so the highest a poor person will pay as cybercrime fee is N5 and lowest is 5 kobo!

There's so much at risk so there must be deliberate effort to sustain the security architecture around this crime.

Christianity Etc › The Christian Faith Isn’t A Side Hustle by janeedema(op): 2:38pm On Sep 18, 2024
Does making heaven mean anything to you? If yes, then stop waiting to be begged or pampered to serve YAHWEH.

You don’t need to be pampered to pursue your life goals, even though those goals are temporary, right?

So why do you expect to be pampered or begged to pursue heaven, which is eternal?

"Please, ensure you pray daily."
"Ejoor, read your Bible daily."
"Biko, serve the Lord with all your heart."
"Abeg, know God for yourself and be faithful to Him."

I can’t recall any of my lecturers coming to class and saying:

"Guys, please study hard and, biko, try to attend lectures so you can pass your exams." Not once.

Yet, ministers of the gospel are constantly pleading with you to do what’s necessary for something of eternal value.

A time is coming when these pleas will stand as a witness.

When Jesus said that following Him involves denying yourself and taking up your cross daily, He wasn’t suggesting it as a hobby. No, it’s a calling, part of our profession.

Please know this:

If you are truly a Christian, you are a soldier, not a civilian.

Growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ requires taking personal responsibility. Don’t wait to be spoon-fed; there’s only so much those who feed you can do to help you grow in stature and wisdom.

Invest in your own growth. Never forget, this is a personal race. You will be accountable to the Judge of all the earth at the end of time.

So be intentional about carrying your cross daily. Let go of worldliness—you can’t love YAHWEH and the world at the same time.

Strive to practice what you’re taught, in line with Scripture, by yourself and for yourself.

You can’t be a part-time Christian and expect to defeat a full-time devil.

Serving YAHWEH isn’t a side hustle. It’s our profession—yes, it’s the main hustle.

Treat it as such as you work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

Shalom.

Politics › Like APC, Like Kamala Harris. by janeedema(op): 11:29am On Sep 18, 2024
Following the U.S. election buildup and watching the debate between VP Kamala Harris and ex-president Donald Trump stirred up familiar feelings.

Yeah! The constant shifting of blame between political figures was on full display. Kamala persistently blamed Trump for the current U.S. economic woes, even though he’s no longer in power and he left the economy stable despite the challenges of COVID.

It felt strikingly similar to the political atmosphere in Nigeria, where APC keeps finding ways to point fingers at Mr. Peter Obi for Nigeria’s present economic issues, and at the PDP, which had long stepped down from leadership.

Watching this back-and-forth, I was stunned. Trump, of all people, was on the defensive while Kamala went on the attack—roles that should have been reversed.

But the moment that hit hardest was Trump’s closing question: “Why haven’t you done all you’re promising now? You’re literally in power. What’s stopping you?”

This question echoed a sentiment I had during President Tinubu’s campaign. Back then, I wondered:

“If he’s so confident in these grand promises, why isn’t he pushing for them while he has access to President Buhari? Why didn’t he challenge Buhari’s administration for its failures?”

It’s clear: those who voted for Tinubu can’t claim surprise at the current state of affairs, just like Democrats who’ll rally behind Kamala cannot ignore the present reality.

The truth is, nations suffer because of selfish decisions, when people knowingly place incapable and incompetent leaders in power.

The clues are always there—always. For those willing to see, they’re impossible to ignore. And the real question becomes: Will we keep pretending not to notice? Or will we finally act before it's too late?

All giving in the New Testament must be motivated by love, else there is no reward for it. Give to God because you love Him and want the furtherance of the Kingdom not because you are scared that something bad will happen to you if you don’t.

We should offer ourselves first as a living sacrifice. Giving your body to be burned without being motivated by Love is error.

Is marriage the goal, or is it about finding the right person to marry? Because the truth is, there are countless married women who are deeply unhappy.

While I hold marriage in high regard, I firmly believe that if a woman isn't content while she's single, she'll never find happiness in marriage. This is often the root cause of many marital problems.

Too many singles rush into marriage, expecting their spouse to fill a void within them. They put off their own happiness, only to feel even more frustrated when their partner falls short of their expectations.

Marriage isn't about completing you—it's about complementing who you already are. If you can't feel whole as a single person, that emptiness will follow you into marriage.

Christianity Etc › Whose Idea Is Church? by janeedema(op): 10:47am On Aug 18, 2024
**Whose Idea is Church?**

It was a calm Saturday evening, and the sky was painted with hues of twilight. Birds fluttered to their nests, and butterflies danced among the flowers, bidding the day farewell. It was a perfect backdrop for a walk and a chat.

"Let's go minister to those guys over there," I suggested to Halimat, pointing across the street as we took a stroll.

"Hmmm... abeg, let’s leave them. They look kinda aggressive," Halimat observed, her eyes reflecting concern.

"You are right, but I feel impressed that we should still share with them. Who knows?" I proffered, feeling a nudge of conviction.

"Ok, I'm right beside you," Halimat said, chuckling as we crossed the road to a Bet Naija shop where some guys were hanging around.

"Good evening, all; how are you doing today?" we greeted.

One of the young men looked at us as if processing who we were and then said:

“Aunties, abeg make una leave us with church o. I no go come. All those una pastors wey dey drive private jets when their church members dey hungry.", a guy who identified as Joseph said.

"Dem no go visit you ask whether you don chop, dem go dey ask for offering," another guy said in passing and hissed.

"For this hard economy o. Their father," a dark stout guy joined in, vehemently angry for no reason.

"I hear say some pastors get 10 private jets, just one person o. Which car Jesus drive? No be donkey e bin dey use?" Joseph rejoined.

As their rantings heated, Halimat started nudging me that we should leave. I smiled at her but kept listening to the guys as I quietly prayed for wisdom on how best to defend the gospel.

Then, from beside me, Halimat said abruptly, "Can I ask you guys a question?"

"Aunty, shoot, we dey listen," they chorused.

"Whose idea is church? Man or God?"

"Na Oyinbo idea na. We bin dey alright before dem come deceive us with their religion," the dark stout guy replied, holding our gaze.

When I noticed we had gotten their attention, I quickly chipped in:

“Sirs, God has been good to all of us; seeing that we have life. This means that hope exists. We didn't come to preach church but Christ, and we urge you to indulge us.”

"Oh... ok. Make una no tell us about church sha because una no sabi show love," the dark stout guy said, still fuming.

We prayed and then shared with them our convictions, admonishing them on the coming judgment and why they need to embrace Christ.

When we finished, Joseph embraced Christ and we got his contact to follow up on him for service the next day.

As we bade them goodbye, a guy who had barely spoken all through our discourse asked:

"Na which church una dey attend? I go like come tomorrow."

“I for no mind escort am come sha," the dark stout guy, Opeyemi, quickly interjected.

“Wow… That will be nice,” Halimat said, truly excited as she got their contacts.

“Well, just so you all know, our pastor doesn’t ride on a donkey o,” I mentioned, avoiding their gaze.

At this, Halimat gave me a soft blow on my shoulder that made us both chuckle.

The concept of church, as Halimat tried to explain, is not a man's concept. It is God's idea.

So, every time we encounter a false teacher or prophet or are bombarded with the 'excesses' that flood Christendom, it surely points to one thing:

Genuine ministers and churches exist.

The One who came to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth was the One who talked about building His church and coming to rapture a church without spot or wrinkle.

This tells us that the Church is not man's invention. It is a community of believers—individuals or groups of individuals who have accepted Christ—the global church.

Now, imagine having a disjointed body with hands in Sokoto, teeth in Lagos, nose in Calabar, and legs somewhere in Abuja. That body cannot function maximally unless its parts are intact and together.

This is the concept behind the gathering of believers.

If you are a part of Christ indeed, then you have a role to identify with the other parts of His Body to make a functional whole.

Your role in the Body of Christ is critical. Everyone's role is.

Your presence as you show up 'jejely' in an assembly may be all the responsibility you need to take, and someone might be encouraged to trust YAHWEH in their circumstance.

This role, as simple as it seems, could be akin to the critical role the blood vessels play in your body.

If you are angry at the excesses that plague the Church, you have a good cause.

Yet, it is not enough to alienate yourself from a church assembly.

Apostle Paul was an apologist, and in Jude 1:3, we are called to make a defense for the gospel and call out false teachings, not alienate ourselves from the Body.

Please, know this:

As long as the Church is in the world, and it is made up of imperfect people like you and me, we won't have a perfect church on earth.

One thing I can say for certain is this:

There is a church for everyone.

If you don't like a church with a ministry private jet, well, some churches don’t collect offerings and whose overseers walk on foot. (Finding one who rides on a donkey may just be kinda hard in our clime, but who knows?)

My point is this:

Don't be in any place that does not resonate with your perception of the Christian faith, so you don't keep complaining and poison your outlook on life.

But by all means, locate a church assembly where you are accepted for who you are and continually encourage you to search scriptures for yourself.

If Jesus called the temple His Father's house even when He knew YAHWEH is in heaven, you can't be a Christian and be serving YAHWEH in your bedroom—alone.

You may not go to hell for abandoning church, but you may miss out on discipleship, fellowship, discipline, accountability, and community.

Yeah! A true church offers all of these and more. It plays a vital role in ensuring you find purpose and live it out. Most importantly, make heaven.

I'm so glad I belong to an assembly of saints, and gladder that my name is in the Lamb’s book of life

Do join this chariot if you haven’t. There’s still room in the inn.

Shalom.

These are things the protest should have projected. Instead of an ambiguous title of EndBadGovernance.

risos:
How about banning corrupt government officials from office for life

I’m not Igbo but this isn't true. The Igbos has from day-1 mentioned that they would not be part of any protests. So, how did the gaslighting happen?
TimeManager:
Sickening mentality and this is why people will continue to see you as a 4th class citizen. You're always on Nairaland, fighting everybody and saying the protest must go on yet y'all intention was to gaslight others to protest while you lock your shops and hide under the beds, then come online to stoke more fire. Without ibos, people protested, all you did was to come online wanking over the attendant chaos that happened, yet you saying people can't protest without the ibos. Nobody needed the ibos for protest, ibos have never been at the epic center of any major protest in history. People are only calling out your hypocrisy since y'all were on all online platforms, Tv, radio, instigating the protests, screaming both night and day yet hiding when it mattered the most.

-Kiss the truth!
