Christianity Etc › Re: Oyedepo: Lagos, Ogun Now Infected With Anti-Church Virus by Jiokejohn: 7:25am On Jun 29, 2020
Divoc:
The bishop said , “Can anybody silence the church? Never ! I have never heard of anybody that God healed in the market but people get healed in every church day and night , real tangible healing. We have recorded 114 coronavirus healing testimonies . We got 10 this week .

https://punchng.com/lagos-ogun-now-infected-with-anti-church-virus-oyedepo/
Who am I to challenge Oyedepo's claim!
I suggest that federal isolation centre should be established in Living faith auditorium Cana land. All covid-19 patients, suspects and related cases all over the federation should be redeployed to Oyedepo's Cana land to receive this massive healing.
With this new arrangement, Nigeria will be Covid-19 free in less than a month. And many people will embrace Oyedepo's Church as the only true church nationwide.
May Oyedepo warmly accept this my proposal and NCDC endorse it!

Righteousness89:
GOD ALMIGHTY has used his Servants to Heal people. It's just that many of us decide to close our eyes..

GOD has used pastor Lazarus Muoka of the Lords Chosen to heal people . A brother in Spain in hospital bird got connected to the Ministration and got healed instantly. Testimonies also came in from London and other countries of people who got Healed from the Virus..

I saw the Testimony of someone in Canada who was Healed by Connecting to the Ministration of Bishop Oyedapo.

I heard of the woman in London whose husband had given up hope! Fortunately he got in contact with Pastor Eneche and Prayers were made and the woman was made Whole.


Only GOD can give Perfect Healing to any Diseases. Any True Doctor will tell u that.
My dear, I have been following your comments and people's reactions towards your comment.
One thing is grossly being lacked by you. For courtesy sake, I will not mention that 'one thing'.
Be mindful that no one has doubted or debunked existence and supernatural power of Almighty GOD base on all the comments made so far in reacting to your posts on this thread.
Inasmuch as you have been trying to defend yourself, you keep on shooting yourself on the foot more and more. Go through all those instances you mentioned above as I quote, all of the COVID-19 miracles happened outside the shores of Nigeria but fantastically triggered by Nigeria pastors. Base on your instances, non of the miracle recipient attended their churches before the miracles where perfected.
It depends on the god you are serving, your god might be dwelling only in your church. But my own GOD is omnipresent. My GOD's presence is felt everywhere. My Lord JESUS CHRIST never asked people to troop to Jerusalem temple for miracles. Non of the apostles or disciples advocated for such. Even a Centurion servant was healed by mere pronunciation of prophetic words by JESUS CHRIST on the road.
you are talking of pastors that always call for monetary donations or special offerings as solution for their financial needs like acquisition of houses, vehicles or even private jets in the name of evangelical needs, but will always profer prayers, biblical quotations and further extortions from their followers in the name of special seeds, tithe and offerings for members who have financial needs like paying house rent, school fees or setting up business.
If I should ask, all those schools, land properties, jets etc who owns them? Of what benefit are the schools, jets, vehicles etc are to you as a stake holder that contributed money for the establishments and acquisitions. Are there any accountability to them? Who consume the tithe and sundry offerings? Who account for it? What were biblical teaching concerning tithe? What did the bible said about the Levite's? Are they eligible to own any property? Is tithing meant for Christians (religion and followers of Christ) or Judaism (Jewish Religion)? Do you know that the bible forbade payment of tithe with money. For reference purpose, read Deuteronomy chapter 14 from verse 22 to 29 for more insight on biblical directives concerning tithe. This verse will enlighten you more on tithe.
{If churches reopen today and expected money is not coming owing to shutdown of economy, pastors will be the frontrunners agitating for opening of markets and sundries shouting that people are dying of hunger in order to open the economy to facilitate fattening of their pockets as usual}.

It is evidently that APC cannot reason together.
Can Nigeria make progress with this disorderliness we are witnessing in government?
Man made disasters like herdsmen killings, boko haram, bandictary etc. APC cannot address. Now natural disaster in form of Covid-19, APC control government is in total disarray. Lockdown modality in chaos. Implementation of palliative measures in shamble. Conducting of corona test child's play. Treatment of patients great joker. Health facility a mirrage.

Politics › Re: Osinbajo’s Strategy For Ending Boko Haram War by Jiokejohn: 8:34am On Apr 10, 2020
Success can never be achieved without sincerity of purpose.
I tell you most solemnly, I will hardly believe the resolution of this APC led government war against Boko haram.
Of a truth, approach of Nigerian soldiers toward civilian citizens left much to be desired. For instance, if soldiers were deployed to curb arm robbery and kidnapping, they will be maltreating members of the said community with impunity. Sighting a young guy sipping ice cream with his girlfriend in a bus stop, they will enviously summon them to humiliate the guy in presence of his girlfriend. Subjecting him to frog jumps, lying on the floor and sundries. With such attitudes, members of the community will lose confidence on them, cordial relationship is murdered and their will be no synergy to execute their mission successfully. Before you know it, members of the community will turn against them and start leaking information on soldiers activities to the miscreants. Can such be effectively achieved in such scenario? Their counterparts in other clime are always friendly to members of their host community. Winning their hearts, confidence, friendship with excessive hospitalities. With this strategy, information on miscreants or enemies are always at their doorsteps and missions are successful accomplished.
On the issue of series of ambush being laid against our soldiers, what stop our government from equipping them with aerial surveillance drones to secure their movements and activities since they are in war zone.
I insist that government of the day is using this Boko haram situation to enrich themselves. Otherwise, why such ambushes are not being laid whenever top government officials and service chiefs are visiting the war zone?
Finally, why are they releasing captured Boko haram members on whatever guise? How will Nigerians feel if Evans, the kidnapper is released tomorrow to the society as repented kidnapper?

A country that can't boast of improved healthcare in Aso clinic. I tell you most solemnly, Buhari led government have nothing to offer. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. A government that cannot address man made disaster, how can it address natural disaster.
If not the fear of covid-19, Buhari would have embarked on medical trip.

Was Jonathan a northener ? Was he not a president when Boko Haram occupied many parts of the country ? Would he have let the northerners unlawfully take arms to defend themselves ? Do u know why America would vote Trump once again ? Despite his failure to finish a group name Taliban he recently want to make peace with them ? If America failed to finish a simple group of Taliban in Afghanistan i see no reason of blaming buhari behind failure to finish Boko Haram. And no southerner can finish them in a swift because Boko Haram fights the same way Taliban does they hide in a vast jungle where they only appear suddenly to attack.
One of the most gullible comment I ever come across.
Let me awake you a bit. who is Goodluck Johnathan? He is a zoologist who was opportuned to become Nigeria president. In his human capacity as a zoologist, he can't do much to address security crisis in Nigeria.
Who is Muhammadu Buhari? He is {was} a major general in Nigeria army that once ruled Nigeria as military head of state who has been vying to rule Nigeria again since 2003. As a former head of state, he has been commenting on the state of the nation. In his human capacity as a military man {once a soldier always a soldier} we {I inclusive} elected him in 2015 to salvage our security crisis. Then we had only Boko haram. Under the watch of a general, we have herdsmen attack, banditary etc.
Now, assess Buhari on security owing to his military background, assess him on his cattle business, assess him on economy, assess him on progressive ideas, assess him on assemblage of ministers. In everything, Buhari is a failure. Buhari lacks strategy and idea. Sometimes, I wonder if Buhari was truly commissioned in Nigeria military. Probably he passed through Nigeria military but Nigeria military did not pass through him. Otherwise, where are the military experiences he acquired all those years? No wonder he has no certificate. He is only a one way traffic. I lost confidence in him since 2017. Nigeria under Buhari is heading to calamity.
What happened to Almajiri schools? Tell me who does same thing over and over again and expect different result. Can anyone mention efforts Buhari regime is making to address security crisis?
I have no apology in saying that as the name 'Pig' is synonymous to dirty, the name 'Buhari' is synonymous to failure or calamity.

seunmsg:
The deputy candidate should have been disqualified without touching the governor-elect. In the case of James Faleke vs Yahaya Bello, the Supreme Court agreed with APC that a dead candidate can be substituted even after the election. So, why can’t the same apply in this case?

Democracy should be about the people and not about the justices of the Supreme Court. At worst, the court should have ordered another election just like it did in Bauchi some years back when the deputy governor was disqualified. The people should be the ones deciding who rules them and not some justices somewhere.
Inasmuch as I mourn for the ill fate that befell David Lyon, let us not forget that the deputy contributed in accruing some percentage of votes to his emergence.
I opined that what affected him should equally impact on their joint ticket. That is why I personally faulted Faleke vs Bello ruling in 2016. Above all, it is high time we reform our electoral act to address all these lacunas and add credence to it.

Are we cursed? Or are we the cause?
Assuming it was a member of the first family that was abducted by Boko Haram, will she still be in captive by now? Will the war against Book Haram still be dragging till now? Will Buratai still be chief of Army staff? Will GMB enter into arms deal with US government and pay billions of dollars to be supplied in four years later. I believe that should it been the case, the right buttons would have been pressed.
What is the value of life, freedom and health of Nigerian citizen?
Of a truth, this war against Book Haram will never make a headway so long as the destiny of millions of Nigerian is still entrusted on the mindset of a person who believe that war against Book Haram is war against Northern Moslems. Someone who recently bragged that with the experience of civil war of more than fifty years ago, Boko Haram will be defeated. Someone who have so much believe in use of prison binoculars and relegate drones in this twenty first century. How can we be so primitive in reasoning at this computer age? Boko Haram is becoming more equipped with trend and our commander in chief is reflecting on experience of more than five decades ago. With all these backwardness, how can we move forward?
They are busy monitoring someone like me with their GPS on social media but cannot monitor Book Haram. Who is fooling who?
The truth is always bitter.

Yeah, it will last more. Since she'll be willing to chew, drink and inhale shit just to keep her "marriage". Most times, people wanting to marry someone who loves them more so they can have someone to manipulate, abd eventually abuse.
All these useless measure of love. Goes to show how naive and immature the minds of many guys are on this forum. Like a lady put it, if he's not crazily in love with her, he should forget it.
In abundance of women, he chose you. A man have a reason to do such. The fact that he jettison other ladies and settled for you means more than the eyes could see. Remember, he is the one paying your bride price and making you his wife. Not the other way round. If he doesn't love you, he would never take such bold step. He will never come an inch near you. Paying your bride price is a great sacrifice to justify his affection towards you. What we are saying is that marriage is more blissful if the love the wife possess for the husband is more. Many ladies settled for men they don't love because of wealth and affluence. And many men doesn't live longer to tell their stories. No man in his right sense will bring calamity into his life. LOVE IS BLIND! The more you love, the severity of the blindness. Women are more resilience than men. We can't endure what women endured. Above all, it is inhumanity to take someone's love for granted. Men value and respect their wives
As a man I have taken my stand. Other men are free to make their choices as well. It is a free world.

The girl being proposed to is a younger sister to the bride. According to the guy, the girl's parents (bride parents) are aware of their relationship. So, such act will add more vibe to the wedding. The couple, especially the bride will see it as an honour that her younger sister was engaged on her wedding day.

Fellow N/Landers

The future is unpredictable but nobody is praying for bad thing. This question have been bothering me for long. I thought it wise to it with good people of Nairaland and seeking for helpful advice.

As a man, is it advisable to marry the lady who loves you more than you love her?

please advice
My dear brother, the best bet is to marry a woman that loves you without limit. Someone who loves you more than you do. Having such a person as wife is like acquiring an invaluable treasure. Words can't express benefits attached for being lucky to have one as a wife.
Let me highlights some advantages of having such personality as a wife -
1. She will sacrifice everything to make sure that you are happy.
2. She will go beyond her limit to ensure that you succeed.
3. She will never scatter but will keep on gathering for you. Likewise she will never waste but always conserve for you.
4. When she sees you, she see herself. Your worry is her worry. It is always you first.
5. Peradventure your night turns to day, she will never leave you. Even if the whole world deserts you, she is always there for you.
6. She will forever be faithful to you. No man will see her unclothedness. {SHE CAN ONLY TRADE HER unclothedness FOR YOUR SAKE - for instance doing so to save your life (not her own life but yours). This amount to laying her life for you}.
7. You will live longer. Enjoy your life to fullness without heart attack.
Benefits are so enormous.
But if you marry someone that the love you have for her is greater than what she has for you, mark my words, YOU JUST ACQUIRED VISA TO ENDLESS SLAVERY. Your heart will have no peace whenever her countenance changes - heart attack knocking. You will always go extra mile to please her - perpetual slavery. You will forever be held at ransom - her quest will be insatiable. Above all, she will always look for that love she feels for outside.
NB: A woman can endure unfaithful husband till eternity but a man can hardly endure an unfaithful wife for years.
I COULD BE WRONG, BUT THAT IS MY OPINION.
One man's delicacy can be another's poison.
Chose wisely.

Love is not enough in marriage.

She may love you but not like you enough, not willing to die for you, not willing to share secrets with you, not willing to share a space with you and finally, not see you as great companion.

This is why many married folks still keep side guys, sidechicks and besties. Many keep them for sex but few others keep them because of great companionship. Does that mean they don't love their spouses? No, they do but great friendship goes beyond love.
I disagree with you.
'Love' is stronger than 'Like'. I think you misplaced the two words. Benefits and sacrifice for love is beyond limit.

That's insubordination if either you or your would- be wife is a member of the Church. [b]Even if none of you are, you think the house of God is a place to do a thing like that without the consent of the man overseeing the affairs of the Church. [/b]What kind of a generation are we and how do human beings reason these days? [b]How do you see it that you are engaging a sister in a Church where the pastor is not aware of the relationship? You think a Church is a social gathering? Tomorrow if anything happens to the relationship/marriage (but God forbid) social media will say you even got engaged before the Pastor. [/b]My friend, humble yourself and appreciate the pastor saved the image of the Church.
With all due respect, let us not make a mountain out of nothing. This holier than thou attitude will never do us any good.
Marriage is an institution ordained by GOD. 'He that found a wife; found a good thing'. For the guy to propose in a church goes a long way to justify his good intention.
Assuming the guy seized same side attraction to announce cash donation of N5million instead of marriage proposal, will the pastor stop him on same reason that he is not aware and need to be informed first?
On your logic of peradventure the engagement crumbles aftermath of the church exhibition, it doesn't hold water in the sense that many weddings and marriage consummations crashes after church ordinations and no clergy or pastor is to be blamed thereafter.
When the video surfaced, I thought the pastor was the girl's biological daughter. I never knew he was only a spiritual mentor. The pastor has no role to play in that particular scene. He shouldn't see himself as a matchmaker.
Finally, proposing to a girl is a first step in marriage establishment. The direct parties involved have to agree first before involving the parents, mentors and guardians. Meanwhile, marriage proposal or engagement is not overall assurance that the marriage will see the light of the day. Just a bold step on a sacred project. Other factors that will make or mar the relationship comes up thereafter. {for instance, it might be established that the two love birds have a root tie that bound them as relatives. In such scenario, the marriage proposal has to be nullified} Meanwhile, the guy said that the girl's biological parents are aware of their relationship.

Sex is not mundane, it's a fundamental part of marriage and people shouldn't be shamed for wanting a healthy sex life. Marriage is deep, yes, and sexual harmony is part of the deep bond between the two people involved.

So you people screaming that people (especially women) should stay virgins until marriage, what do you call this one? Staying a virgin until marriage and after marriage abi? Is she a robothuh Terrible

Romance › Re: My Girlfriend Is Extremely Stingy. Should I Be Worried? by Jiokejohn:
user283:
There's this lady I've been dating for two years now. We happen to be members of the same church and I ought to have taken the relationship to the next level by getting my parents to her place for our introduction last month but I had a rethink and postponed our introduction due to an issue that might cause problem in the future

I noticed my girlfriend is the stingy type. When I mean stingy, it's on the high side. Assuming she's just averagely stingy I wouldn't really be bothered but this is gross.

I work as a bank teller (contract staff) and my salary isn't really much while she works in Shoprite. Even from the little I earn, I'm always sensitive to her needs and I tip her whether she's stranded or not since I love her but how can I explain being with a lady for two solid years and I've never for once received any gift no matter how little it is? Not even something as little as toothbrush or hair cream

Initially, I didn't see this as a big deal probably because I grew up with the mentality that it's a taboo for a man to expect gifts or little support from his girlfriend when he's in dire need
but I've now grown to realize that "give and take" is one of the key elements of a good relationship

Even if I get stranded or go into debt, my girlfriend acts nonchalant and she'll be the
last person that will ever render a little financial assistance to help my situation. You might say I should sit her down and discuss about it. Yes I've already done that and I made her understand that I actually postponed our introduction for no other reason but because I'm still indecisive if I want to spend the rest of my life with a selfish woman but her response shows she takes pride in being stingy

I even used logic to whine her younger brother recently just to be sure if she's stingy to me alone but the boy confirmed it that her sister is very stingy. I decided to carry out my findings on her brother because I believe he should know her better.

You might want to talk about sex but my belief is that sex is just a mutual pleasure and does not define what a woman gives to you in a relationship especially a relationship that will lead to the altar

What's getting me worried is that we've come a long way but I don't want to end up with a selfish woman because it's written all over her that she cares so much only about her own well being

Please advice your fellow brother. Do I have a reason to be worried? I've been jumping a lagoon for a woman who can't jump a gutter for me especially when it comes to giving. Should I tolerate this level of stinginess from a woman simply because I'm a man?

P.S: I'm still with her because she has other good traits

Please pardon my typos. I wrote this in a hurry
My interest is borne out of your mission of getting married to her.
I'll only advise to the best of my reasoning. Marriage is for mutual benefits, mutual love, mutual enjoyment, mutual care and ABOVE ALL, MUTUAL SHOULDERING OF CROSS if table turns around.
My question is 'IF YOUR NIGHT TURNS TO DAY, WILL YOUR PARTNER STAND BY YOU?' Peradventure you lose your job years after marrying such a character, what will be your fate? You can manage everything in your life but marriage. Do not think of managing your marital life especially when you have clearly seen the signs ahead. Otherwise, you continue shooting your foot. Love is all about making sacrifices especially in hour of need. Anything short of this is fantasy. Some people who don't have at all go the extent of borrowing in the course of making sacrifice for love talk more of who have but not willing to give. Generosity is not measured when you are super-rich. Even the poor gives out of their shrunk purse.
An age long problem with many of us, black Africans is that we hardly weigh our merits and demerits options before taking our decisions.
The last thing I will tell you is to quit the relationship because I wasn't the brain behind its establishment. In your every action, let your conscience and deep wisdom guide you.
Best of luck and blissful marriage in advance.
[NB: I might be wrong but this is exclusively my opinion.]

iluvdonjazzy:
Bank staffs are worst than armed robbers itself. Those bankers including their ogas that are so wealthy, did you think is their money?, is people's money, both the living and the dead. And they will be saying Police, NEPA are the most corrupt in Nigeria, well, for me bankers are the most criminals and most corrupt institutions in the world. Nonsense and Central Bank.
Hate speech!
You hate bankers.
Death sentence loading,

Politics › Re: APC Governors To Oshiomhole: Resign As Chairman Or Convene NEC Immediately by Jiokejohn:
Adams Oshiomhole - 'one week, one trouble'!
The last thing that can happen to a man is behaving exactly like 'phrasal words' use to taunt you. For instance, 'you dare not behave stupidly as a result of being called - A STUPID MAN'.
When Adams Oshiomhole became national chairman of APC, many political juggernauts referred him as 'AN UNDERTAKER'. Please Mr. Chairman, do not live up to that prediction.
Inasmuch as I detest the leadership style of APC current administration, I still clamour for strong and equally matched opposition party to always checkmate excesses of the ruling party and maintain challenge for better administration.
It is a crystal truth that PDP is coming back. APC has failed Nigerians. Mark my words, PDP will perform better than this current APC. They will also make an atonement for their misdeeds and omissions.
Be that as it may, we still need an equally matched political party as an alternative to serve as a threat to them. Opposition in politics is a driving factor for good governance.
So, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, do not allow APC to die under your watch. If need be, let the NEC of the party do the needful for the betterment of our democracy, future and viable politics as I eagerly await the coming back of PDP.
My only worry is the way Nigeria politicians switch tents with political parties. Before you know it, it becomes assembly of the same people. I pray that a law will be enacted to address that. Law like 10years probation after quitting a political party before joining another.
Business › Re: Dangote To Renovate MKO Abiola Stadium by Jiokejohn: 4:48pm On Nov 08, 2019
I frown at naming Abuja National stadium after MKO Abiola to immortalize Abiola and June 12, 1993.
I would have preferred national assembly complex named after MKO Abiola. More so, since we already have MKO Abiola stadium in Ogun State (I think in Abeokuta); Abuja national stadium should have been named after Sam Okwaraji who died on active service.
I would have suggested renaming National stadium Surulere, Lagos (Okwaraji's actual death bed) after him but owing to its proximity to Teslim Balogun stadium that located opposite it and conflict of interest between Lagos state owned stadium and national stadium. I opined that Abuja stadium should be used to immortalize Sam Okwaraji. August 12, 1989.
It is never a coincidence that the two dates fall on 12th. One is for political reason and the other for sports reason.
{NB: My personal opinion. No string attached}.
Education › Re: Should I Apply For Medicine Considering My Age? by Jiokejohn: 9:54am On Nov 02, 2019
isgombe:
Good afternoon my people.
I am currently 25years old and have A BSc. degree in physiology. I have passion for medicine an i wanted to re-apply, though the school that i want (is in my state) is partially accredited by MDCN, but they have final year student.

The reason i wanted to apply for the school is that i need to open a shop that i can be running my business and also.

Please I need your view considering my age? is it okay for me to start all over again from 100level or should i apply for DE in different state?

Thank you.
Exclusively my opinion and candid advice to you!
My dear, life is a mission. We all have different visions and targets. The climax of it is its fulfilment. Age doesn't matter. Provided you have something to drive, finance and sustain your life, do not care about how long it took you to fulfill your dreams. If you are looking at how long, you might not achieve it. Focus on how well and feasibility of achieving your dreams.
Some people equally achieve similar feat at 50s and 60s. Concentrate on how best. As for me I don't mind achieving such dream at 50s or 60s. It is how best that matters. And your best is what you give to the society. Your impact on the society is a bedrock of your assessment. Some people became medical doctors in their late tens and early twenties and spent their entire life without much impact. Nobody knew of their existence. Whereas some made it in sixties, impacted positively on the society and were celebrated and being remembered.
Above all, let your instinct guard you.
Culture › Re: The Famous Mkpokiti Dance In Anambra (Photos) by Jiokejohn: 7:42am On Nov 02, 2019
MelesZenawi:
lies upon lies

You are a bad researcher.

Both are different dances..


Stop spreading fake things or what your minds tells you.


The histories of both dance are totally different not this nonsense you just constructed.
With all due respect, educate me. I equally want to learn from you.
Since you know much about it, tell me the difference, their origin and history.
I believe other people will equally learn from you.
