Is the protest about fighting APC? It is clear so many people have no clue as to what the protest is about? Melagros: |
Hear the children crying wasn't Onyeka Onwenu’s song. It was sang by Christy Essien Igbokwe. Matabue1985: |
The protest now has a face. Good! [quote author=nlfpmod post=131232670][/quote] |
Thank God the policies aren't affecting just a sect. Keep making it about tribalism. There are no special treatments for your lots. Nigerians aren't upset with the government because there is hunger, but in the midst of the hunger, the insensitivity of government expenditure on frivolities is where our pain lies. If it is hard indeed, lets all show solidarity. Let us hear that these are the sacrifices those in the helms of affairs are making. When someone has good intentions, it cannot be hidden. Every tribe stood to vote MKO Abiola. The Igbos voted massively for Obasanjo. Yorubas didn't. If they desire to vote for their own after supporting other tribes for so long where is their crime in that? Aren't they part of Nigeria? I am not Igbo. I voted Peter Obi because I saw through him and knew he means well. Plus, his antecedence were clear. If you aren't impressed by his CV as governor of Anambra, then you are corrupt. As long as we have your lots with a sickly mentality of this nature, progress in Nigeria can never happen. strangest: |
As much as I want to agree with you, I can't. You see, the Nigerian system ba is what is coming into play here. They aren't telling us the real cause of the drama. It will interest you to know that this could all be a matter of how much percentage would go into a particular pocket as bribe. Now, he either plays game or his refinery is grounded. Neither this Dangote not the NNPCL players have Nigerians in mind. Know this and you won't have time to make case for anyone of these corrupt beings. It is a Nigerian factor. The davodyguy: |
But he can last in APC? Seriously? You guys still think it’s about party affiliations? Nigeria has a long way to go. Christistruth00: |
Is Alex Otti more popular than Peter Obi? Are you sleep writing or something? And I should think that you should know that these statements were made individually not like they had a discourse. Even if you hate a man, it shouldn't neglect the use of common sense in your analysis. Peter Obi stated that there were protests during his tenure. You didn't see that, right? Allow tte man to breathe. Philipponzaghi: |
Mentioning how they were caught isn’t wise. You inform their lot on what they should avoid. I wish the police will speak less. Some information are not meant for the public. officialwdhtvv: |
When someone succeeds in typing thrash. You make this about the Igbo people? A tribe that has clearly stated over and again their non-involvement in any protests? I’m not Igbo, but you all should allow them breath. How much more insecure can you get? Grow up! Can you defend your statement in a court of law that the Igbos have imported ammunitions to orchestrate war? Tribalistic bigot! TollinsN: |
Interesting! Which election will you use to remove them? I guess that’s your way of saying in a democracy, the citizenry has the power to vote in and vote out. If this is what you implied, would you say the citizens voted in this administration? Truthfully? Well, in a matter of years, you would realize without reasonable doubts that we don’t have the power to vote in. Yeah! Just like the military regime. If you think that Tinubu is President Jonathan who allowed a free and fair elections, you had got to think again. Just so you know: Presently, the judiciary is compromised, and the legislature answers to the executive. These should have been distinct and separate arms of government, but like in a military regime, they do not exist. The legislative and judicatory echos what the executive says. I can promise you that the election of 2027 is already rigged. Tinubu doesn’t know how to handle loss so he will bring himself back whether you want him or not. Now, before you argue, check out Lagos. And so, technically we are in a military regime. quote author=Cromagnon post=131087303] What military regime has done well Name one You think you are wise to cut your nose to spite your face Let's say worse military gain power, what will you do then Which election will you use to remove them Do you think before talking[/quote] |
I like the protest. Much more than protesting against the government, how about the youths taking their destinies into their hands and create a strategy against these bandits that have hijacked our roads and making means from banditry. Cry all we want, they are all youths like us. If they can strategize to kidnap our loved ones and demand huge sums from us not those in power who have made lives miserable, then, they are our enemies. They aren’t asking government for ransoms. They aren’t kidnapping those in power. Then, they may be empowered by them. This is why we need to rise up and take our destinies into our hands- if we are waiting for those who are in power who are possibly fueling banditry by taking monies from the poor to finance banditry, we may all be finished before we realize it. Youths! Youths!! Youths!!! It isn’t time for tribal sentiments. Smell the coffin, will you? |
Hmmm… The thread isn’t about you. Don’t be self-centered, please. Imagine the number of I’s and My’s used in one comment for a thread that wasn’t intended for you. Haba! I believe the redemption of Nigeria starts from thinking less of ourselves. We are talking of humans who were kidnapped and we are making it about tribes and others are making it about themselves. By the time we all wake up from our tribal, religious, self-centered, and political affiliations to start thinking of fighting as one, I pray there will still be a Nigeria left to fight for. quote author=Blitzking post=131087116]The more reason nysc should be scrapped...I made sure I didn't serve in any other place...my orientation camp was 5mins drive to my house as camp finish enter my apartment wey I lock for 2weeks plus.

Petty crimes aren’t committed any longer. What we do now are kidnapping with huge ransoms of hundreds of millions requested. Some few days ago, a family of about 6 who were kidnapped and paid over N300m were at the facility for check up and so this isn’t news. All these money being collected, is why we should fear for what’s coming. But behold, the IGP is claiming crime rate has declined. When we lie to ourselves by ourselves, you wonder what the way forward is. Newlymarried: |
Nigerians are just good at complaining. Able bodied male youths who simply gossip about their economy. I know ladies gossip, but when guys only talk without proffering solutions on way forward, it is boring. Leaders of tomorrow, threads of these nature should compel change and encourage strategies to birth them. I come in peace. JAOS: |
You don’t see the implication of this? After Tinubu finishes this 4 year tenure, the bill takes effect after he is re-elected at the polls. So we are looking at Tinubu and his associates ruling for 10years. VinnyBaba: |
I don’t know what you mean by Obidients, but if it means speaking up for the soul of Nigeria, then I am gladly one. You folks think Nigeria is a joke that’s why you would make everything about sentiments. You truly applaud the happenings in Nigeria because you want to prove a point against Obidients? You have time to speak up for the truth. We understand you made a wrong political choice. But if you keep up closing your eyes to the woes of this nation, my prayer is that you and all that concerns you will rep a thousand folds the seeds of its failure when it comes tumbling. No matter where you run to, the recompense for evil borne from the cries of souls who are dying and have died due to the compromises of government will rest upon you. On that day of reckoning, you seek to recant but it will be too late. Jayhome24: |
Yeah! With taxpayers money. No one was tried and convicted that would have been my definition of justice. In the end, the government didn’t lose anything. Zuby45: |
And the government is going to use tax payers money to compensate the victims. In the end was there really any action taken against the Nigerian government? I don’t think so. They did eat their cake and have it! Sad. Nazgul: |
Let me ask: How many poor has benefitted from the taxes being paid to the state? Yet your problem is the offerings collected by religious bodies. Same offerings that you don't indulge is the one you want regulated. Hear me please: The Church is not the problem of Nigeria, the government is. I figure that if the government provides for the electorate, they won't go about harassing God to give them what their government should have provided. Yeah! They will serve God genuinely and not for material gains. So tackle your government and let the Church breath. quote author=Curious345 post=130840591]Is that redeem church ?

This is a function of one’s mindset. It isn’t the same for everyone— thought to mention. quote author=mu2sa2 post=130804487]Surrogacy is good, no doubt. But let's face it, the child you carried in your womb 9 months can never be the same in your heart as an adopted child. That child is a part of you, flesh and blood.

Which economic bailout? How did the economy get to a point where it needs bailout? Isn’t that what you should be asking instead of quickly proffering that a bill that challenges sexual sanctity, chastity, sovereignty and saneness be adopted? So after they sell our sovereignty and our strong values against LGBT for economic bailout funds that will be stolen and misused by greedy politicians what happens next when the bailout funds finishes? They will probably come ask that we give our kids for prostitution and you will opt that the bull be signed for another economic bailout funds, right? This is why we are where we are because of people who think with their noses. You need to reassess why it is so easy for you to propose selling our values as a nation for bread. Because my analysis is that you are either rift of values yourself and can sell it for a porridge or you are gay. Yeah! This refers to all those who liked your comment as well. You need to quote author=victory36 post=130786480]Honestly, of it will bring an economic bailout of some sort, then we had better sign it.

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 sha, but I feel impressed that we should still share with them. Who knows?" I proffered, feeling a nudge of conviction. "Ok ooo, I'm right beside you," Halimat said, chuckling as we crossed the road to a Bet Naija shop where some guys were hanging around. "Una good evening o, how are you all 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." "Dem no go visit you ask whether you don chop, dem go dey ask for offering," another guy said, in passing. "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 pinching me that we should leave. I smiled at her but kept listening to the guys as I quietly analyzed 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 was 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. When I noticed we’ve gotten their attention, I quickly chipped in, "My brothers, God has been good to us seeing that we have life. This means that hope exists. We didn't come to preach church but Christ, and if you'll indulge us, let us pray." "Oh.. ok ooo. Make una no tell us about church sha because church don show us pepper. Even the Jesus sef, no be Oyinbo man? But make I just listen to una first," the dark stout guy said, fuming. And by His grace, we shared with them from our convictions and when we finished praying with them, Joseph asked: "Na which church una dey attend? I go like come tomorrow." "I no mind escort am come sha," the dark stout guy named Opeyemi, added with a sheepish smile. “Well, just so you guys know, our Overseer doesn’t ride on a donkey o”, I mentioned rolling my eyes. At this, we all burst into laughter. ——- 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 should point us to the existence of genuine ministers and, invariably, churches. 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. Imagine having a disjointed body with hands in Sokoto, teeth in Lagos, a nose in Calabar, and legs somewhere in Abuja. Your 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 calm 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, 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 whose overseer has a private jet, well there are churches that don’t collect offerings and with overseers who 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, though: Don't be in any place that does not resonate with your perception of the Christian faith, so you don't keep complaining and miss out on the blessing, but by all means, locate a church assembly. 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 parlor—alone. You may not go to hell for abandoning church, but you may miss out on discipleship, accountability, an opportunity to be a blessing to others and be blessed as well. I'm so glad I belong to an amazing church family. Do you? |
1 Samuel 15:18 And the LORD sent you on a mission and told you, 'Go and COMPLETELY DESTROY the sinners, the Amalekites, until they are all dead.' 1 Samuel 15:19 Why haven't you obeyed the LORD? Why did you rush for the plunder and do what was evil in the LORD's sight?" 1 Samuel 15:20 "But I did obey the LORD," Saul insisted. "I carried out the mission He gave me. I brought back King Agag, but I destroyed everyone else. 1 Samuel 15:21 Then my troops brought in the best of the sheep, goats, cattle, and plunder to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal." ---- As I studied these verses, I realized how I'm a lot like Saul. YAHWEH gives me an instruction and I carry it out in the way it most appeals to me. Then, I come back with biblical references backing up why I couldn't follow YAHWEH's instruction to the letter. For one: Years ago, I used to pray down fire and brimstone upon those in the helm of affairs in this nation. In my mind, I was interceding for Nigeria's liberation. I would pray something like this whilst crying profusely and seriously broken: "Baba Lord...see the kidnappings happening in this country. Father, see the hardship. You can't keep watching o. Ha! You can't keep watching. You are our only deliverer. Deliver Nigeria from the mad men seated in Aso Rock. Let them sleep and never wake up. Yes Lord, rain down acid mixed with brim stone on their beds tonight, you said in your word, you are the one that kills and makes alive (1 Samuel 2:6)..." When I finish lambasting them in prayers for the terror they have made out of Nigeria, I will hear a nudge in my spirit: I said pray for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-2). And I will be like: "Lord not in this case o. Baba... didn't you say in your word that ...? Now, the word of GOD demands our full obedience at least to the level of our understanding. But like Saul, even when we know we are clearly going against God's word, we still come up with excuses to defend our heresies and invariably, our pride. Will you recant a wrong doctrine you have fed YAHWEH's flock with if you are convicted of your error? Saul was told he was in error consistently, but he still came up with excuses to justify his actions. And that was why his replacement was sought, not just because he disobeyed YAHWEH's instruction. If you are a Christian, His Spirit will always convict you of sin. When His Spirit does, what is your attitude to His correction? He said forgive that person who hurt you and let go and you are quoting scriptures of why the person deserves death. Before we cast aspersion at Saul, let's first ask for grace to act differently in our daily lives. I believe that's why the Bible exists for our reproof and instruction. As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work." Shalom. |
The scriptural verse that states that Jesus was the first angel created by YAHWEH and the verse of scripture that states he is the chief of all angels MaxInDHouse: |
I truly appreciate your thoughts. Albeit, respect has to be hinged on something. God may have made man the head over the woman. But her submission cannot be imposed, it must be earned. Deep respect is a result of responsible leadership. It takes two to tangle and that is why the Bible reckons that two heads are better than one. If the male and female gender understand their roles and mind their lanes, we would have marriages that are enviable. It is through wisdom, knowledge and understanding that a marriage gets its full expression. Again, thanks for your contribution. MaxInDHouse: |
You truly need redemption and fast. Unfortunately, I can’t help you, only YAHWEH can. How can someone who claim to be sane spew out vileness in a public space? This beats me. Why do you embarrass your parents like this? Pathetic! 4KNGOATS: |
The Israelites rejected YAHWEH’s leadership and demanded a king. Yeah! The same YAHWEH who fought their battles and pampered them. The One who rebuked kings for their sakes. Similarly, the Jews rejected Jesus as Messiah because He didn't fit their expectations—born in a manger, an ordinary carpenter's son who lacked glitz, steeze, and glam. "No," they said, "this can't be our Messiah." Jesus watched as those He healed, delivered, raised from the dead, and provided for screamed: "Away with Him, release to us Barabbas instead" (Luke 23:18). Even Peter, His favorite disciple, rejected Him, denying ever having any business with Him. King Saul, who lost his kingdom over trying to impress the Israelites at the expense of God's instruction, saw the same people he led to several victories sing praises for the new guy on the block—David. Alas! Saul discovered that he only wore the crown, but David had won the people's hearts. "Saul has killed in thousands, David in ten thousands," they sang (1 Samuel 18:7). Haha! Make no mistake: Rejection is often hard on the rejected. If YAHWEH felt pained by Israel's rejection (1 Samuel 8:7), it's okay to feel dejected when you are rejected. But as you cry over being rejected, remember that if the Almighty God and His Son could suffer rejection, your case isn't special. Talk to YAHWEH about the rejections you have suffered and ask Him to make it beautiful for you. In the end, rejection is a function of your mindset—your interpretation—because no one can make you feel rejected unless you first accept it. One of the devil's snares is to make you lose hope by facing constant rejections. This way, you will start seeing yourself as a failure. Once you engage your mind by embracing what he sells to you, it becomes your reality. For as a man thinks in his heart, so is his reality (Proverbs 23:7). Redefine how you interpret unfortunate situations, and don't give room to the enemy. See every 'rejection' as a redirection. Yeah! To what and where YAHWEH truly desires for you. That’s the mindset that wins. By all means, keep your dreams and visions alive. Remember Steve Jobs. His rejection from Apple led him to found NeXT and Pixar, both of which achieved great success. His eventual return to Apple saw the company rise to unprecedented heights, showcasing the transformative power of overcoming rejection. A day is coming when all the rejections will make sense to you. On that day, you will lift your hands to YAHWEH and say: "Lord, keep the rejections coming. Please, more rejections, Lord!" 😂😂😂 |
Absolutely true. Yet, if a man refuses to be responsible to an extent for a lady he claims to love and wants to spend the rest of his life with, it is a huge red flag. He can’t be a lizard in courtship and become an alligator in marriage. Not possible. Where a man’s treasure is that’s where his heart would be as well. Whilst a lady may not be demanding- I completely discourage this. Still, she should be observant to see how responsive he is without her asking. It says a whole lot. Antoeni: |
Dear Commander In Chief, Your ideology is Faulty. Just so you know: Not all single ladies are miserable. There are loads of married people who are way more miserable than some single ladies. Being miserable is not a function of being single but a product of a faulty mindset. There are so many men out there who have no business being in a marriage, and I dare say you are one of them. With a mindset like yours, that feels like you are entitled to submission simply because you did a woman a favor by marrying her, your marriage is going to be a disaster, and I feel pity for your wife already. You just come online and spew thrash. Marriage has never been the sole aim of existence so stop making it seem so. And by the way, submission is earned not enforced. If she won’t submit to you, you leadership is under question. When a woman finds a man who understands marriage and the role the woman comes to play, that alone is what makes marriage exempt from miserability. Else, the woman will be miserable in silence and that isn’t marriage. Yeah! Being single is way more purposeful. Antoeni: |
You need help and fast. That you don’t realize it is why I feel so sorry for you. You create a thread to talk about sexual perversion. You don’t only sin you are trying to get others down the path of destruction with you. If you are so okay with your ma3ness, why do you seek validation? Soon and real soon all these fantasies will pass away, I truly hope it isn’t too late for you. It is how mad we have become that you would create a thread so you will talk others into sexual perversion. I hope the devil pays you duly for it. This sex otherway: |
People like you aren't worth a response...but I need to say this to you and everyone who liked your post. You are all the reason we have a decadent society. How dare you insult someone for not being artificial? Did she create herself?. You body shame someone who accepts herself for who she is and then go ahead and call ladies who go artificial from incessant taunts' 'oloshos". ValCon888: |
