You are using nnamdi kanu brain to reason and analysis issues. Out of 100 positive parameters available, it is only one -ve reason that changes almost every month that you can site. What of our foreign reserve that has almost double despite low revenue from oil? Google it yourself and see our position now in local production of rice and export in africa and in the world instead of importing almost evetything including tooth pick in pdp era . See drastic improvement in non-oil sector diversification. See how much Jamb, FIR, and other government parastatals are now contributing to federal pulse yearly. See how many people are now being employed and how many are becomming millionaire through farming program. There is no where you can get any perfect system in the world because human being are the most difficult animal to rule in the world because some think upward, other donward while many still think sideways. Only looters, lazy youths who are looking for free money, yahoo-yahoo, those that benefit from proceed of corruption and ipob members who have gene of hatred in their blood towards buhari will not like him. By God's grace tomorrow, they will all be relegated because darkness can not conquer light. 4 + 4 = continuity

Nigeria remain the home of poverty in the world. about 12 millions have lost their jobs, many companies collapsed, ran out of the country and no investor want to invest in the country because of lack of economy plans.

TIGRITIS:
Exactly.

No peace for the wicked.

Police should cordon them properly.

Nigeria cannot afford to be handed back to thieves again, never.

are you sure? Nigeria is hand of thieves already people like amaechi, tinubu.oshomole and co what are they ?,even akpabio will be laughing your double standard aka hypocrite.

ZombiePUNISHER:
Is Nigeria not dead

This is a supposedly hungry youth defending a known looter seen by all stuffing it inside his babariga...

Chai... It's a pity

and who are you defending?amaechi, oshomole, tinubu. orji.akpabio, even buahri with sense of nepotism now who are you defending? thief is a thief all are thieves.

Mr man leave grammar, join next level train, Nigeria is on a cleansing mission from all the16yrs mess your PDP has put us. No system is perfect, but at moment, APC is better than your PDP. At least once you leave PDP to APC, you know you are comming to a party where corruption is no longer business as usual; you abide with the APC constitution, code of conduct and manifesto, which does not permit sharing and looting of public resources to enrich your friends and families instead of sharing to most vulnerable in the society to better their lives. From tomorrow by God's grace, all the PDP looters association of nigeria and their sympatisher will be sacked for wasting our resources for 16yrs. You better join the next level train now or get relegated with PDP

part of APC members today were part of 16years of that PDP.they are all the same . APC time is worst go and check our statistic about our economy in world economy stand,Nigeria ranked the home poverty over 90millions are poor still you people are shouting next level. God will punish the enemy of this country.

Dannyset:
Yea.
Buhari is like magnet and metal. He attracts crowd everywhere.

I pity the looting machine tomorrow.

they are looting machine because they are not in APC right?when they were in APC you called them saint?where is your brain and moral standard? as far tinubu ,amaechi, and others APC and PDP are the same. the truth Nigeria will be better under PDP.

jesusjnr:
Nah!!!

That's certainly not me, for I don't roll like many church folks who allow religious sentiments and such unfounded preconceptions to becloud their judgments.

For "Allahu Akbar" is an Arabic saying that actually translates to "God is the greatest" in English, and so if the Spirit of God gives me the utterance to say "God is the greatest" in the Arabic language, It's well obvious to me that it's not something I should be concerned about, because it clearly corresponds with what was said to have transpired on the day of Pentecost:

Acts 2:1-12 (KJV)

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

So as you can clearly see with respect to the emboldened, the Arabians were clearly represented there, and were amongst all those who heard the true disciples of Jesus speak in their own native tongues the wonderful works of God, while they spake in tongues with the utterances of the Holy Spirit.

So do not be surprised to find out that there may have also been some shouts of Allahu Akbar(God is the greatest)somewhere in there, being yelled out by some of the true Jesus disciples as the Spirit of God gave them utterance.

So if what was said to have taken place on the day of Pentecost was anything to go by, then the most recent addition of Allahu Akbar to my ever growing list of known spoken tongues via the utterance of the Holy Spirit(the last being Hallelujah) means that there's absolutely nothing to be worried about, but on the contrary everything to be cheerful about, as it is yet another sign that that standard of that church is well and truly on its way back.

On the other hand it also gives credence to my belief that Allah is (my) God, and that Mohammed is one of his true prophets, which has been my view for quite a while now(over ten years ago) since as a result of my high level of walk with God, i couldn't reduce His sacrificial efforts with respect to His only begotten Son Jesus, who He gave to save mankind from their sins, to the level of mere religious sentiments and such unfounded preconceptions usually associated with today's church folks.

For i instead went to God and asked Him what His plans were for those of the Islamic faith, and if Mohammed was truly His prophet.

For I believed He also had them in mind when He gave His only Begotten Son for the world, hence i asked how He intended to get His message across to them, because owing to the extent of violence associated with those of the said faith, that if someone tried to bring to them the knowledge of that Truth, that they would just finish the person off.

So it was there and then that God revealed to me that Mohammed was truly one of His prophet, and hence that Islam was actually His own creation.

it means that you are the one forming the tongue and it shows that you utterance is a fraud.

Sannisege:
You are a Mumu. Its because Atiku is corrupt, thats why he could not win APC primaries. APC cannot present a thief like Atiku as his presidential candidate. Only PDP can do such cos they have no morals or shame

corruption mantras is just gimmick to deceive the desperate citizens and they bought the ideal at first but now is clear to everyone that they are even parading the corrupt set of politicians as campaigners very shameful.

Emmanystone:
The way you are evading this issue, i'm beginning to think that you are involved in this act. Pls repent.

The Message Bible. 1 Corinthians 6:16-20
There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.

you quote bible without holy spirit. like I have said you are a baby grow up.

Emmanystone:
Thou shall not Judge is your answer to whether or not Christians shd abstain from sex until they marry?

The Hell?

Who is being judged here?

You still say you teach your people the love of God.

Jesus says if you love me, keep my commandment and one of such commandment is, thou shall not commit adultery, not even in your heart, and to avoid fornicarion, let everyone marry.

What love are you preaching mr preacher?

Can you define LOVE? I bet you can't. All you know are the attributes of Love.

is this how it was written in the bible ?even In Buddhist adultery is a sin,in fact you know nothing .thank you.

Emmanystone:
What the hell is wrong with this man? Who is talking about weddings?

This is about whether or not sex outside marriage is a sin, instead of talking abt that you are talking about how weddings are conducted.

Is God against fornication or not? If you can't answer that, pls don't quote me anymore. She we as Christisns have sex before we marry?
WTH?

then why did you quote that verse?Go back to my comment where I made it clear that even people who don't believe in Jesus know that adultery and formication are sexual immorality and they are sin . you pump from nowhere started arguing about what you don't even know. and I said they are many custom that don't take bride price but they only approve the union , does that mean those people are fornicating? then you came out started posting irrelevant comments.

Emmanystone:
From the way you talk, it seems you are still in Primary school.
Sir, Is thou shall not commit adultery and to avoid fornication let everyone marry' a law of God?

I'll recommend you read Leviticus chapters 18 and 20 from 1 to end and see the laws involving sexual acts and that these laws are Traditions given to the Israelites by God Himself.

The ones He didn't give, He condemned.

am talking about Christianity ?are you an Israelite? or Christian? that verse you quoted is talking about Israelite . i said show me in the bible where God stipulated Christian how to conduct their wedding you are showing how ignorance you are.

Emmanystone:
See this Christian will not stop talking about how UnChristiasn people conduct marriage and talk abt how Christians shd.

Oga, this Op is not about how marriage shd be conducted in different countries, its whether or not it's okay to have sex when single AS A CHRISTIAN.

TRY TO FOLLOW THE OP. Is okay as a Christian to have sex before marriage?

Do you teach your congregants that God is not interested in their sexual lives?

Formication and adultery a sin?

This shd be my last response to you. Teach what you may, you shall stand to account for the people you lead astray.

thou shall not judge that's what Jesus said if truly you know what the bible says you won't concluded in saying to me but I hand you over to God . on the judgement day we shall see. even on the day you breath your last you will know where you belong to. I teach my people the Love of God and the Fear of God . after life we shall see who is who.

Emmanystone:
He attended the wedding ceremony because He gave them that law of marriage. They didn't pick it from somewhere.

The first marriage we saw in the Bible was Isaac and Rebecca, and since Abraham was too old to go get a wife for his son, he sent his servant with 10 Camels loaded with goods for the family of the bride. When he got there, he introduced himself to Rebecca's family. He asked her hand in marriage before her mother and Brothers (I believe her father was dead). When they accepted, he offered what he went with.

And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things

And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
Genesis:24:53-54.

Which other marriage ceremony shd you be asking for?

I don't care what happens in any African Country, i care what the Bible teaches. If Every African Country or any other country for that matter, does what the Bible says, we won't have a sexually perversed and rotten society as we do today.


People like you support homosexuality because some societies accepts it as their customs.

you are cycling the truth. since you refuse to understand yourself. one question I asked you could not answer it. now listen there is no where God told the people Israelite how to conduct their marriage. each country have their own way of doing things as far what they are doing did not contradict the way of God . It seems you just came out from Bible school or a new convert and that's shacking you. thanks for the time God bless you.

Emmanystone:
I believe i have not insulted you, but if you feel insulted, Sorry

By the Traditions of Israelites, you mean the ones Jesus gave them or the ones they added for themselves so that they could oppress and control the Weak? Jesus will never condemn what He instituted.

I posted those verses to show to you that your Traditions run at variance with Christs' and He frowns at them, Just like those the Traditions the disobedient Jews brought in from other tribes.

The Traditions of the Israelites are the ones Jesus gave to them, the others were not His, so He condemned them.

And, you who say you are a Christian but still hold to the traditions of your people instead of Jesus', like the Jews, He will rebuke you at thet last day.

And many shall say to me Lord, Lord, we did this and that in your name, but i shall say to them, depart from me i know you not. Meaning, what you did in my name, i did not command.

If you are a Christian, endeavour to follow Christ completely or you'll just be wasting your time. You can't join your Traditions and the Tradition of the Bible and still call yourself a Christian. That'll he operating between two covenants. Oil and water, they won't mix. So choose one.

It's becos the Apostles rejected the Traditions of the Pharisees that they suffered so much in their hands.

Jesus did not totally reject their custom,remember where HE turned water to wine that's their traditional wedding. like I have said any custom that don't contravene the commandments of God have nothing to with God. understand this here in some part of Africa bride price is mandatory while some is not now tell me is their any form law that Jesus gave us to stipulate wedding ceremony in christiandom .

Emmanystone:
Pls tell me why Joseph almost cancel his marriage ceremony with Mary when he found her pregnant.

And Why did he try to hide it from the people? Why will they stone marry? Did it say she was found pregnant before marriage?

Doesn't that tell you that fornication was and is still a grave sin?

can you see why I said you are baby now you are still talking about the same tradition or custom! now here in Nigeria if any woman commit formication are they stone her to death during 100years ago?.you know no nothing about word of God .you just quote bible without sense.

Emmanystone:
You mean Jesus obeyed the traditions He Himself gave to the Israelites? Or you don't believe that Jesus is God and those were his traditions?

Are you Also aware that He rejected their human traditions they added to the ones He gave?

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mark:7:9ood News Translation Matthew 15:9

[b]It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules (Traditions) as though they were my laws!’”

If you falsify the Word of God and teach men error, their blood shall be required from your hands. If you don't understand scriptures, don't teach it.

with the due respect try to respect yourself.your type are the problem in the society. you just miss quote me out of content still you are putting chains in your leg as well .you condemn the israelites traditions which are part of the bible right,does their traditions make sense to you that's the reason I said not everything is in the bible that make sense but you came back to show shrewd you are in other to show maybe you re smart.

Emmanystone:
What does the Bible say shd be done?

let me clear it to you .bible consists the teaching of Christ and the Israelite customs so get it .in the commandments did they stipulate how to conduct the marriage?.if your tradition don't contravene the law of God either by worshipping idols in it or consulting demons instituted in that custom then there is problem.

Emmanystone:
Do you realize that Christianity is a Kingdom which has it's rules and ethics? That you a Christian living in Afghanistan, doesn't mean you shd do what the Afghans do. You look into your ethical manual (The Bible), and do as it says.

If the Bible says you do not marry a non-Christian, you do not marry a non-Christian.

so because you are Christian now you will not follow the process of your customary way of traditional wedding? I teach love and fear of God in my church. I follow what Jesus says not what the bible says not everything in the bible make sense.

Emmanystone:
And those customs are Bible based?

Are you talking as a Christian or as a secular person?

what are you talking even Jesus respect the custom of the Israelite .no race without a certain way of life which transfer as a custom. where I live witnessed a traditional wedding where the father of the bride rejected the bride price here south west what will you say about that.?

Emmanystone:
What? Who could not do anything to the Devil?

You mean God is powerless to punish satan? Well, bros, saran has already been sentenced. He was judged and cast out of heaven, and he is counting down time when he will be cast into hellfire.

Except you don't believe in the Bible, but if you do, you know that Jesus says there's a world of the departed spirits who await resurrection.

I'm shocked that a Christian will rather quote the UN than the Bible.

Are you a Christian?

God knows how to judge His people so stop talking for Him. yes I am Christian and I read my bible with all my heart and by the help of holy spirit .

jesusjnr:
Thank you very much, Mr Paul is Lord!

we know your type.

jesusjnr:
Coming from someone whose holy spirit, master, lord, god and everything is Paul Lol!

A ironic case of the blind trying to show someone who can see the way.

you know nothing about that bible you carry just ask for holy spirit.

jesusjnr:
Coming from someone whose holy spirit, master, lord, god and everything is Paul Lol!

A ironic case of the blind trying to show someone who can see the way.

wonderful!!! I can sense the Christian you are, self righteous fella and yeah I can see that you can see .I pity you.

jesusjnr:
The true disciples are coming back to their rightful place

is it the same disciple that goes about with sword in his pocket or the one playing double standard with Jews and gentile that was rebuked by Paul? fanaticism can't help just ask for holy spirit to help you.

somehow:
And your points is?

and my point is, some customs don't take pride price what are you going to say about that?

somehow:
There are Christians in Muslim and secular countries. Dwell on that

still they have traditional way of wedding . in a family where they have both Christians and Muslims as a family members one thing will bind them together, their tradition.

somehow:
Your argument is becoming stale bro. I'm talking about Christians, not what a country recognises as a religion.

America do not use the Bible as their Constitution, Christians do!

Christians can't just exists without being part of a certain tribe,race or nation and this have an impact in their moral standard even Israel have their own tradition. you are the stale bro. fanaticism can't help you.

paxonel:
you are truthful,

The part of the world that is making bride price compulsary for marriage to commence are the ones complicating issues especially when the lady is marrying a poor man who cannot afford the bride price.

I have a friend who is pregnant now, the guy who impregnated her is so poor, his income is nothing to go. But he has taken this girl to the apartment he inherited from his late daddy and they have started life a long time ago.
Assuming the girls parents were insisting that this poor guy must pay bride price that means the girls life would have been more miserable with her pregnancy?

Religion and the society and their laws can be very wrong sometimes

is not their fault but the society need it . now look at what's happening in everywhere now how immorality have eaten deep in the world despite religions rules, think if there are none they will worst than this.

Anas09:
You mean God used the theory of Hellfire to scare people? If you say Jesus used Hellfire to scare people, you are invariably saying God uses heaven to bribe people to serve him. Is this it?

Okay, where will satan and his demons be when this is all over? Or Jesus also lied by saying He shall judge evil?

You don't actually believe what the Bible says?

devil have been existing over billions of years still they could not do anything to him but continue sending people to hell. according to UN over 100billions souls have died since the creation of this earth where would their soul be.

somehow:
We're talking as Christians here right? If as Christians, parental consent is needed even if they won't take BP from you.

Americans are they not Christians too?

let your Atiku to remove his trouser to prove hes not from Cameroon

wow I just read a news that buhari have forgotten the time he came to power,now I know why we are in deep shit of economy .he said he came to power in 2005! wonder shall never end. all APC people are of the same thing, dementia patients.
