It is not surprising that a mod is flagrantly violating one of the rules (1) of this platform. You exemplify Nigeria lawmakers who are at the same time law breakers. I'm certain you would hide this post if it was done by someone else and probably ban them too.
That said, saying tithing, a practice held in high esteem by Christians, is a scam online is highly insulting. In fact, this is cyber bullying and I'm not sure if this is what this platform is turning into.
babajeje123:
This is bullying and display of unnecessary ego. The guy was right in fact I was going to post the same thing but got busy with other things. Leadership should be by example
I was waiting for you to come and shout This is bullying! As you always do each I’m having arguments with anyone here. And you have proved me right.

Two people you should never advice -

A Nigerian with his religion and a girl who's in love

Oyinbo churches dey empty but still.... Na we religious pass and na we dey underdeveloped and wicked pass

grin
Some churches here even collect members January salaries in the name of First Fruit, I mean ALL your January salary and still collect tithes and offerings.

They turned Christianity into a religion of fear intimidation and manipulation.

We grew up believing a lot of nonsense from these dubious religious leaders and no one is allowed to ask questions.

It's not in my nature to engage random folks on the internet especially over matters like religion which is why I didn't quote you by deliberately misspelling your moniker but I'd make an exception and leave the thread if I have to since it's actually yours.

You said and I quote "Tithing is a scam" among several other things. That's just off for people here who may hold it as a sacred doctrine. You won't do same to even an Islamic doctrine or any other legal group like LGBTQ even if you don't believe in what they're doing.

You have to respect other people's legal beliefs even if you feel you are now much wiser than them. You can share your opinion but making such definite derogatory statements is bullying.

This isn't about you "calling out some fraud in the Church" , don't divert it and act like that's all you said.

I used to respect you a lot and I still do, I really don't want to stretch this conversation
Tithing is a scam and those religious leaders benefiting from it are committing fraud.

If this bothers you then deep down you know i'm telling you the truth.

Read your bible, when tithing was practiced in old testament it was not about money and never paid monthly.

This is what this thread is all about: Community of kindness and sharing.

I had decided to let go of this thread because folks like Justman had decided to use the opportunity of being a moderator to attack beliefs that people hold sacred. I never understand how one thinks it's wise to keep saying negative things about non-criminal religious doctrines. You won't do such in UK to people's sexual orientation, for instance, regardless of your stance on the matter. But because it's Nairaland, it's alright to say things like "someone's sacred doctrine is a scam run by crooks in the Church".

I digress... But, I think I will come back. My epistles have helped so many people here.

I passed my theory driving test yesterday, first time. I also got my Mortgage Offer last week after only coming here 2 years ago as a Student Dependant. These are only 2 examples of some of the ways God has used information from this thread to help me.

So, here's to more Communal assistance on Nairaland.
Its Justwise.

If you are offended because i called out some criminal/fraud happening in many Churches today then you are part of the prob.

The difference between many Churches today and armed robbers is just gun.

charlatans running those Churches know how gullible people like are hence your reaction.

Welcome back.

you are the one who own and is behind this thread... you feel am attacking it. well am not.

i have already applied for amazon work in n outside where i stay and nothing yet from them. someone said i should wait till December when cold comes and maybe shifts comes
i have been up since 1am applying and day breaks 10am i am off to stroll offices asking them if they get jobs, although most refer me back to their sites.

Please in those your UK thread.. put it bold and tell them to pay their fees 100 or 90% first or this money should be available when they get there.

not paying 30/40% and hoping to start working to pay the rest.
I’m not going to put a warning message on any of those threads enough warning already over the years,people will learn the hard way.


Amazon recruitment will end probably next week, they don’t recruit in Dec.

No you are not one of the few saying this, for years many have been saying it, social media is full of stories like this, but still people like did not listen.

You played yourself and still giving excuses and defending yourself.

You are just one month old here and I have been here for over 10yrs and I want to give you one tip(you don’t have to take it)

Stop wasting your time here defending the indefensible. Get offline and start applying for jobs with your time.

Amazon are recruiting massively now and they have a lot of sites in Manchester. No experience needed and their shifts are guaranteed.

Again stop wasting your time here and go fight for survival.

My friend, you should be the one to stop talking nonsense and acting holier than though. If Nigeria was operating at the level it was pre-2015, I don't think Op and his types will be so desperate to leave Nigeria.

People just want to survive, please let the poor breath.
Another silly comment, so pre-2015 Nigerians don't travel with student visa with little or no money with them? You probably were born yesterday.

Oga, stop all these self purification and aggrandizement. If Nigeria is working O.P and most Nigerians would not leave Nigeria to go and try their luck in UK. Op did what he had to do to get a visa and get a chance at a brighter future. You that have been in UK for over 20yrs, did you have your complete school fees when you jakpaad? If you want to help him with contacts, help him, stop all this unnecessary condemnation. Life in Nigeria is freaking hard.
No you stop talking nonsense and encouraging people like the op.

I guess you know my history here and know how many times I have warned people like the op about exact same thing he is going through now.
Don’t come to the UK if you have no money to survive. Don’t use untouchable loans to get a visa then come here to struggle.

Why waste 13m naira for nothing?

You are asking if I paid my fees in full when I came here? So do you know when I came here and the immigration rules then?

m

can you boast of 25 million?

about 95% never had that full fees..

if they have it not up to 50 Nigerians will travel for school abroad. but ask your self why over 58k Nigerians left last year and over 100k left this year.. are Nigerians that rich?

just type POF service on Google and see what i mean


Dude we know all that and that was why i asked you the very first question.

You have been in nairaland for 8yrs plus and we have been warning people like you about using untouchable loan to get a visa then travel with little or nothing but still people still do it and then open a thread like this to cry a river.

This is self inflected injury and you should blame yourself for this.

Hmmm read your story, it painful but i can help a little, as you said investment is the only way out of your current situation.

Maybe you can consider trading, i know traders who stay at home and earn good money trading.

I can help you as am into crypto. You can also try investment in google, or tessla i can help you with that.

Thanks
You want someone who is trying to survive with little resource to go into trading?

@adeolaspecial, be careful, only trade with the money you are willing to lose

i wont answer you on this. because if i do now you will say am like the emdee tiamiyu


We all know the answer to that question.

Don't tell people not to come to the UK because according to you ...Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming...

Tell them to come with that money they showed the embassy and the university before getting CAS and visa

If you have that money you will be focusing on your studies now and not job and how to pay remaining fees.

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage.

school fees has to be paid. school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.


travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here chai
You got the visa because you presented bank statement showing that you have all your school fees and maintenance money.

So where is that money?

Talking about insurance...life insurance protects your family from potentially devastating financial losses that could result if something happens to you.

Remember when you said you won't get life insurance because you will setup your children well (something like that), in other words, you are not planning to leave your family in an 'anyhow' state so no need for life insurance, same thing here, I'm not planning for divorce so no need to make such preparations.
You are mixing things up here, i specifically mentioned car insurance.

Honestly some people here are funny,
we are talking about what happens when marriage breaks down in the western world and some people are getting worked up about it.

You can be the best husband or wife and work hard to make your marriage work but if your better half thinks otherwise then you have to face the reality.

If you want us to discuss this objectively , we can. I didn't mention praying and fasting as the only elements of building a foundation for a strong lasting marriage relationship.

You dey find my mouth.

Marriage is run on principles and principles don't respect anyone. You break it, it breaks you.

Knowledge of the elements to enjoy a good marriage is more important than seeking for how to share properties or protect oneself after a divorce.

The mindset with which you choose to engage this journey is very important.


I say again... you can either choose to build a stable fortress or go seeking Knowledge of how to leave with the chunk sum when the house collapses.


Through wisdom is a house built, by Knowledge it is established and by understanding it's Chambers are furnished .

Hello everyone,
I just have birth 10 days ago. I got a letter to regularize my child's status or the baby won't be able to use the NHS after 3months.
How do I go about this? My current visa will expire next year February. (I already got a sponsorship with the NHS but my letter can. Only be given 3 months to my current visa expiry)
Do I apply for enter clearance or new visa? I don't know. Anyone that has experience with a newborn please
My wife gave birth few months ago and she got the same letter, I can’t remember the exact wording but I think they are trying to know the immigration status of the parent so as to know if you need to pay for NHS services you used. If you are on student or work visa then you have nothing to worry about. Follow the instructions on that letter.

The accused.
I have said this many times here, yes there are agents here actively contributing in this section but I have no control over what they do outside this section. If anybody here decides to dm them and get scammed then I have no right to intervene. If you can not ask question here or study materials already available and decided to engage any of these agents then you deserve whatever you get out of it.

Nigerian agents are heartless and are ready to break any immigration rules with no regard for their victims.
I ban any of them that advertise here or asked members to contact them privately.

You are getting the whole thing twisted.

Nobody is planning for marriage to fail but if that happens unfortunately you have to deal with the reality of divorce in the west. Probably it will help you deal with issues differently unlike how it goes in Nigeria.

Now the question is while the husband works full time, is that not supporting the wife too to ensure family doesn't lack financially? You see support and looking after the home is relative.
You will only value the work madam does in the house and the kids when you hire a nanny or house help to do that job.

You will still support the house financially and pay the nanny and your kids and house will be in the hands of a complete stranger.

You can not put a price tag or value to the work a good supporting wife does. Peace of mind alone is priceless.

My wife works part time because of the kids while i work full time, she does the school run, shopping, cook etc. I don't have the same insistent she has with the kids. I do look after the kids after work or on my off days and i know i struggle sometimes, so i have deeper appreciation.

I will be more than happy to share 50/50 with her
