They said Russia will exterminate Ukraine in days,

Sell it already please
TCN has been holding back the electricity situation in Nigeria by refusing to upgrade

If it was some years ago, stuffs that Righteousness guy post go dey send shivers down my spine, fear go dey catch me
Thank God for epignosis
Thank God for raising Teachers of the word ehn
Whatever happens in Israel,
Whatever happens in "Nomerica"
Whatever happens to any "Antichrist" Biden, Bill Gate, 5G, Covid vaccine or whatever
I'm saved, I'm redeemed, I'm Christ's and have overcome the Antichrist

Decent09:
Christianity is not a religion, in fact, the name was coined by the Pagans of Antioq, which means follower of Christ.

Long after Antioch, it has become a religion

Ayojb:
ok can a Muslim be saved? Like believe in Jesus and still continue to be saved?

Sure

Ayojb:
you all don’t understand OP’s question.


We all know you have to believe in n Jesus Christ to enter heaven, but can one accept Christ salvation and still be a Muslim, or a Buddhist? Before you do that, or even when you do that, you will be associated with Christianity. So technically if you aren’t a Christian you can’t enter heaven?

Nah
Christianity is a religion, and not salvation
Faith is how we are saved

God's plan for man is the earth
The believer is heavenly but will dwell in the earth
Now to the question
The wise men that first knew of Jesus birth were gentiles
Jesus found the greatest faith,not in Israel, but gentiles
Whosoever believes in God's salvation in Christ is heaven-bound, whether he identifies the religion "Christianity" is another thing

I think children have a right to an available father too
Mothers shouldn't just decide how they want to have a baby and make themselves happy, without thinking of what effects their actions will have on the baby

I advise you to suspend wedding plans for now until there's a job
May the love and trust that's doing you now not turn to something else when you become jobless and the bills and children expenses wink at you

Well if the discos were cashing out they would not need extra funding from government in terms of subsidy. Plus they won't be in debt. And they would be paying their taxes. And they won't declare force majeure like the NE disco that did.

They're mostly cashing out for their personal pockets, but left the business in debts. That's why they refused to invest in the biz. They're running it like they could be asked to vacate anytime.
BTW not all the discos are struggling. Especially the ones in industrial areas, those ones are super rich

Plus what you said about the discos was said about the telecoms in the first five years of their existence. Till the benefits slowly started coming in. Telcos were once accused of profiting at our expense and setting sky high prices for poor service.

Like I said, telcos comparison won't work here because discos are a monopoly.
See what the prices were when it was only MTN we had. See how they crashed their prices when Glo came onboard

Good one
Maybe this will reduce the unemployment rate for the first time in a decade

29kobo:
Thanks, good points you raised.

For me, however, the reason why DISCOS don't meter everyone...my own cynical take on the matter...is that because the tarrifs are not cost reflective (and since a meter has to be set to the government set price, not the price the DISCO would set ideally)...they put the burden more on the unmetered to meet up with their costs...and even then they still lose money.

The way the tarrif system is set up, since government is controlling the price....if the discos metered everyone....they would lose money doing so. So, they deliberately don't meter some....so as to stay afloat.

(That's why I am so against price controls...it leads to a lot of unsavory stuff happening. Humans love to make a huge profit).

I read your comments and arguments with that agbo guy
You both made salient points

You talking about "cost-reflective" tariff. That is a big word
Who determines what is costreflective and what's not, the discos?
And does it mean electricity must become a luxury before it's reflective?
Don't side with the discos because they're just being a smart business man trying to push whatever favors them. They could make profit and not declare it. Some discos are actually cashing out, but act like broke because they want more.

What about people not paying for power? We are not ready for that conversation yet. Government agencies, military barracks etc are all on this table. If discos can achieve 95% remittance rate, the current tarrif rate isn't bad

We compare with Telecom sector, but forget there's competition over there which helps to realize that true cost. Discos hav a monopoly and won't let you know the true cost. They'll leave you to keep calculating how much power costs in US, Europe, in dollars, anyway the narrative favors them

franchasofficia:
That's pure lies, Christians are more than Muslims in Nigeria.


In the North, Christians make up 30 o 35% of Northern population.


In NE Christians make up 20%
In NW Christians are around 15%
In NC Christians are around 55%
In SW Christians are around 45%
In SE Christians are 99%
In SS Christians are 92%


Now sum it and you will discover that Christians have more population than Muslims in Nigeria, don't let them deceive you

You're right
Just that Christians don't too believe in political power in the past
They usually don't give bloc votes because it's hard to control them under one umbrella. They're more of free thinkers unlike Muslims

Oh I missed the game yesterday night
Congrats girls

ilyasom:
Just read the comments above and you don't need to wonder at how poorly educated and poorly informed many nairalanders are. The gas pipeline will be a huge Revenue earner for Nigeria when completed. Stop the ignorance

My brother
NL needs to really make a way of downvoting unintelligent comments that floods its front page most times
Nigeria wasn't cashing out due to the global fuel crises, they wailed
Now this news that we want to begin to sell to Europe, they still wail

What concerns us is when will global prices of items come down again
Or is this the new normal?

Bring back our nddc scholarship
And they must not stop overseas scholarships
I understand most people against it are outsiders of nddc, so na bad belle
Foreign studies or nothing

onlyempress:
Issokay ooo... What if na job wey dey pay #1m a month?

Abi o

Some people will just go and copy and paste an article from a country where there are more jobs than workers and try to apply it here

Let's go. Do the nation proud
And please don't pick a certain call until after the win. If you know you know

This isn't a church program
Next topic pls

Penguin2:
Why do all of you think that Kwankwaso is working to deliver Atiku when he can get power for himself?

What does Kwankwaso stand to gain in an Atiku presidency?

They see themselves as brothers na

Penguin2:
lol!

The people making such moves are foolish illiterates actually.

Because as it stands, Osinbajo is stuck.

He already took oath of office twice as Vice President and therefore can no longer be running mate to anybody.


Supreme Court has ruled that for anyone to be a flagbearer of a party or declared winner of an election, such person must have participated in all process of the election of his party

If you read the news well, you'll see it's kwankwanso that's to be vp

rAgain, his name can no longer be substituted as a presidential candidate after the close of window for primaries.

What if kwankwanso writes inec that he's stepping down. The window forbsubstitution is still open till August. Those trying this move aren't daft na. They know these things

Besides, if Kwankwaso step down for anyone wouldn’t it be more advantageous for him to step down for Peter Obi who already has 2 regions of SE/SS in the bag?

Why step down for somebody from Southwest who will end up just sharing the votes of Southwest people

Good thinking
The agenda is to get someone to divide Tinubus vote in the south.
At the last minute, kwankwanso will tell his northern brothers to vote Atiku, while woke southerners are still "voting competence" over tribe
We southerners usually think we get sense, but northerners usually Beat us to the game

No wonder she hasn't done any song recently
So it's because she's preparing love things

Finally
Let justice take its course

Chelsea kind of player, but not in Tuchel's system of play that waits and allows opponents to settle down with their 10players back to defend

Find a counter-attacking underrated team like Conte's Tottenham

Well even if everyone turns rich because PO is president, isn't that when there will be more tithes for the pastors?

Court says no end to voters registration
What's 60days

Ha
What sorta lawlessness is this na
Shut down airport if you want to, not to seize passengers luggages

But pdp ethugs will like you to believe APC won due to vote buying alone, as if they too didn't share money
