Fire Fire everywhere everyday. Will Nigeria end as Hell?
May God/Allah Help. That our only source of livelihood not be tempered with by fire we know nothing about.
FTC in advance

Not married or have plans of doing so in the nearest future. Booking space to read comments. Happy typing.....................

Infants must wack too. Their fundamental baby rights shouldn't be denied them. Stronger Healthier Together we'll overcome

Hard seeing the self acclaimed and people's saviour likened to biblical dangerous behemoth with no sympathy.

Great developmental strides. More to follow suit. Nigeria must be great again

OP is biased and sentimental. As a Christian your duty isn't to go about spreading lies and preaching hatred but love. The basis of Christ's teachings.

Humane society is what we should be clamouring for. Great acts of charity and kindness can be done in the least expected of ways.
In spite of everything you can always put smiles on the faces of others by things we do irrespective of cultural, religious or ethnic inclinations. #be good.

Confused Government. Unofficial sacking and appointments.

Mogbe. Karma the bitch has struck another victim. The evils men do remains with them

Tussle for Power. Man being a political animal will do everything possible to get what he wants. May the will of the people prevail in the end

So hilarious but true to posit that most Nigerians are potential Looters/Thieves

See what religious extremism has caused or has been causing this one. Though I sometimes don't blame this religious leaders but their ignorant and sheepish followers and listeners

So pathetic and saddening in deed. Her religion as a Christian forbids abortion, while society views such as abomination. Can't imagine the real delimma she's faced with at this point in time. Well my candid advice will that she put aside religion and deal with the abomination. Those when given birth to will be termed incestuous children and stand the tendencies to be stigmatized all their lives. There's always an exception to every ruling am pretty sure your religion will understand your doing away with such unwanted acts.

God is not man. The God of answer prayers please don't ignore our call for long�

Hmm mm! Sabotaged efforts, wasted time and resources. To all troops out there may God continue to see you through.

Can't believe the CP would stoop this low. Anyways NPF and unprofessionalism are inseparable.

Source please! Would have taken this serious were it coming from fellow corrupt personnel.

Guys please what's the 5% 600k and to calculate it. I tried 5×100÷600. please what the correct way

و Watin we no go hear first they're not guests of the federal government second not 5G installers third they're stranded there is God o

Truth is, Christians ought to take serious their religious obligations by finding out truths hidden by their leaders to actually fulfill the will of the maker. Christianity is more of human to human relationship, which the image of the maker is found. Matthew 25 states clearly anything you do to the least of my people that you do unto me also, either ways pastors will always find their way of surviving but what about the poor and underprivileged as in the widows and orphans? Pastors will always claim that tithes and offerings are for the Lord, yet Psalm 50:12 says 'I don't drink the blood of goats from your flock, after all the world and all that is in it belongs to the Lord, the only offerings acceptable to the Lord is sincere prayers and Thanksgiving'

MasterJayJay:
THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHE.

Introduction: If your pastors say giving the needy, widows, orphans 10% of your income is not tithe, that you must pay it to him, then you are attending a business centre, not a church.

Malachi is the favourite book most pastors use to preach tithe. And it is very obvious, they use it because it contains a curse for those who don't pay it. Therefore, it is the 'best' verse used to brainwash Christians.

If you want to preach tithing, preach all verses related to it. Most of these men of God know the other verses but the only one they preach to their audience is Malachi. The sheep they are leading are even lazy to read their own bibles to see the truth for themselves. Note that quarter of truth is no truth, truth must be whole. Don’t add, don't remove.

Tithing is an Old Testament concept, just like circumcision and animal sacrifice. Things Christians were meant to abide to have validations from New testament after death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nowhere tithe was clearly instructed in the New Testament after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The New Testament focuses on giving without compulsion. 2 Corinthians 9:7 captured it very well “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver".

If you believe in tithing, then you should see other verses of the bible to know how it was applied thousands of years ago. Tithes were not for gentiles, it was for the Jews. Tithes were for the Levites, descendants of Levi. How many of your Pastors that preach Malachi to you are descendants of Levi?

There is a particular portion of the bible most pastors will never preach to you, and that can be found in Deut 14.22-29. Tithe was instructed to be given to the strangers, orphans, widows etc. How many pastors can boldly tell their members to give their tithes to widows and those in need?

Conclusion, if you want to pay tithe, that's your choice. But don't use outdated and obsolete verses like the one found in Malachi to threaten people. Are some verses outdated? Animal sacrifices were allowed in the Old Testament. After Jesus Christ paid for our sins, it made animal sacrifices to be outdated, and that includes tithes too.

Baba you don speak my mind finish. How I wish Christians will open their eyes to realities of their religion and say no to being swindled by their religious leaders.
Study to show yourselves approved.

Alhamdullilah this is good news coming from za oza side.

What the Bleep is this one saying? Seems like one completely oblivious of what's going on in this country get it, FGN don't a damn about how an average Nigerian survives and no matter the pressure you'll only waste your as the government belongs to nobody and for nobody.

So to whom are they directing their frustrations?
The evils that men do stays with them. #watchout you can't have your cake and eat it.

There'll certainly be light at the end of the tunnel. In view of the long overdue hiatus real football is on the verge of resuming.

This Reno guy is so hypothetical, arrogant and boastful. Guess he's only saying this for being relegated politically.

Let get there first. The need for rebranding one's skills.

Funny in deed, partially made my day. Next

Educative and eye opening. One problem faced by Nigeria's and other L2 English speakers is often over generalisation. And too much reliance on direct interpretation from their mother tongue in to English language.
However since there's isn't any distinctive variety of the English language that is generally known and acceptable as Standard Nigerian English, English ought to be spoken the way it is and not the way we feel it should be.

Aya! Sorry for what you had to go through, may God facilitate the quickest recovery of those infected and help eradicate the scourge from the face of the planet.

Na today! Even as hard as it may seem, Nigerians should at best protect themselves as they await those in power to come to their aid

Little or no wonder people keep moving and congesting those states.
