I never bought into the 'directives-spewing' Pantami. Directives ALONE do not work that space; it has to be a mix of incentives and enabling environment [infrastructure, power, raise in standard of living of consumers, good roads, burgeoning local manufacturing etc.], and then strict supervision [directives and queries].

We shouldn't just seek to make sentimental appearances on TV and say what the populace wants to hear—data and voicecall price cuts. The TELCOs also have a business to run. If they adhered to all the directives that a lazy and sleepy government like ours would like to give, they'd soon be out of business themselves.

Back them the heck up, then wield your hammer!

One of the few sensible comments I've read on this matter

Equity15:
modified- I just saw your last statement. though you gave him kudos but your initial statements were pure bullshit!

Thank God you later saw and acknowledged so. Most prejudiced minds won't do that.
My point is simple. Building a country of our dreams is not by decrees. Even God didn't sit on his throne and decree that the whole world be saved. Buhari could as well order all rice sellers to sell at 10k per bag, that N1 be set to $1 etc. Let's give knocks where we should

Khaleell001:
Some of you are just too negative minded that you look for negatives when there is none.
some of you need serious deliverance.
if e dey pain you say the man dey perform go soak garri and sand.

Nonsense!

As usual,
Emotions, emotions and emotions beclouding sound reasoning.
You didn't address any issue I raised. It's simply that we must all like whoever you like just like you like them.

Unlike most comments I've read, this minister is perhaps the biggest joke in the buhari cabinet.. Either the most incompetent or he's a learner. He knows what to do to garner public sympathy. And from comments here, he's been successful at it.
Things don't always work by orders. Apart from this recent one, other orders are empty media noises. You sit in your office and order network operators not to charge for ussd bank transactions, so who takes the cost? , order that data charges be cheap, as though you put them in business .. Go in, meet with stakeholders, and address the key issues, not ruling by fiat.
The man looks promising, but he needs to be schooled on how things work in a private sector. Kudos for this all the same

GoTV:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, i commend the Kenyan government for this clamp down on fake preachers. I encourage the Nigerian government to follow the kenyan model and jail all bastards parading as pastors defrauding gullible Christians with false teachings. Unlike our Muslim brothers who preach and follow the tenets of Islam, hunger and poverty are the reasons why we Christians keeps setting up business centres disguised as churches. Its time the federal government ban and execute all fake pastors by firing squad

Your comment shows your ignorance on the Christian faith.
You perhaps don't what preaching is, let alone who is fake. Please learn more about Christianity so you could better act as one in a faceless forum as this

Comments here show lots of people didn't bother to read.
By "export", he meant selling their rice to other states.
This ought not to make news as it is nothing

Imagine being fined $2.8b. If we had such money, we wouldn't need China

GoTV:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, events like this makes me ashamed to be associated with Christianity and sometimes I'm tempted to join Islam. Majority of the bastards we call pastors are wolfs in sheep clothing. Christianity habours so many madness. No Islamic cleric has been caught in this sexual mess because they are guided accordingly by the tenets of Islam. Is it a coincidence that 3 pastors have been disgraced in few months and many more to come? Islam will soon take over Nigeria cos shameful incidents like this will make many Christians convert to Islam

Don't deceive the public. You're not and never a Christian

soberdrunk:
I keep saying it that the biggest problem we have in Nigeria is not knowing our problem, what is even our business with "climate change", it is the least of our problems presently

That's where you miss it.
This is why Africa is like this. We only think about now, and care less about the future. If someone told our fathers about population control back then when they marry multiple wives and reproduce, they will say they don't care. But see the effect today.

Climate change is behind ruga
Climate change is why several people from the upper north are migrating down south. It's why the weather is changing now and more floods are being recorded. You want several industries to be built so there are jobs for the youth, but you don't want us to talk about the impact on our health and that of future generation

Nice move. But it should not have a deadline attached to it. It should be a continuous exercise

SarkinYarki:
Stop wasting our time please ..there are many durable tested versions in the market already so this is not an invention

He never claimed to "invent"

efilefun:
I dont know how people are seeing fault in the decision which should be applauded.

Because most didn't read till the end

This is just one side to the story. I do well to hear the Google side before drawing conclusions.
But as far as I know, Google should not be expected to endorse any app downloaded outside its play store. So if aptoide or whatever is another app download market, why should Google not flag it?

martineverest:
the road was free this morning...where Una for see this pic?

The post says yesterday.. Not this morning

This is seriously serious

Yes.. So what's next..
Anyone with past questions and tips?

Let them present a Fashola, or at least, osinbajo.. Anything else I'm off

Bloggers, why quoting this woman out if context now?
Why just an excerpt if not for your mischievous motives

TheIkoro:
You're one of the reasons behind my having had to renounce Christianity over a decade ago - but not in the way you would most probably take it to be. For, had I come across more Christians then that spoke the way you have, I just may not have renounced that particular path to GOD. And the truth behind my words can be seen in that most of the reactions to thy post have been against the truth in it.

I won't say much more, but - if the vast majority of Christendom continues to believe that Christ has done everything for them, and thus they have nothing more to do but continue to plead the blood of Jesus for every and even pre-determined misdemeanours - then I doubt that GOD can ever be with Christianity again.

Keep up the good work. And do try to inculcate it in thy daily living as well.

Cheers �.

So sorry about the incidence ma/sir.. This is one of what false doctrines do.
From your statement "renounce Christianity" , I knew you're coming from an erroneous premise.. If you don't mind, I can recommend podcasts to listen to, facebook friends to add up and pages to follow..
It's obvious some light on salvation needs to be shed.

You don't "renounce" salvation.
Salvation is not a contractual agreement you had with God. This is where most persons miss it.
The covenant was between God and His Son Jesus, not you. Jesus came and met the terms of the covenant and has sealed it. Where we come in is as an heir.. Salvation is an inheritance for us thru Jesus Christ.


4. Rom 8:17 KJVLite And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

7. Gal 3:29 KJVLite And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

8. Eph 3:6 KJVLite That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

9. Tit 3:7 KJVLite That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.


We are not a party in salvation: we are heirs/beneficiaries. The one who has the power to "renounce" (if there's any word like that) has to be the parties.

"I renounce my salvation" for one who is truly saved is like this
*[[1Co 12:15]] KJV* If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

If my hand should say it is not part of me, would that mean it is not part of me?
If your son says he is renouncing you, will that change his DNA automatically?

When you come into God thru Christ, you're into an eternal union. Of course, such an individual is expected to bring forth fruits of righteousness. Fruit bearing only comes after salvation, not before

With all sincerity, the op needs intensive bible investigation..
Our God is "agbanilagbatan" (ie One who Saves completely)
If God ever saved you, it's eternally. It can't be changed.

The doctrine of partial salvation is an assumption of men, and it impugns the integrity of the great God.. Sincerely, I don't think an atheist if he will ever imagine God, should from his highest folly utter such.

I'll leave with an OT verse

*[[Psa 125:1-3/KJV]]* %v 1% They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. %v 2% As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. %v 3% For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

When you turn scriptures meant for salvation into beggarly, paltry, asinine trivialities and ephemerals, eternal insecurity is what you get enslaved to

See everyone blaming the guy, forgetting that Borno has a fairly large Christian population and number of churches

They have to withdraw their kids before another news of paedophilia

Ramos16:
Leave that guy to be spewing rubbish from his mouth, I am pretty sure he did not check the dictionary meaning before opening his filthy mouth

Thats exactly the problem. You dashed for an english dictionary to understand the bible!
A dictionary is meant to tell you the meaning of a word as used in the contemporary world

Ramos16:
Dude, just shut up your mouth, you don't know what you are talking about. Go study hard.

Prove your points with scriptures pls
The OP has placed scriptures for all to see, at least

the issue of collectin change or not is just denominational liturgy, not any bible
Orthodox churches forbid this for sanity. Their offering bag is specially designed such that no one knows what you drop in it, and no one will normally dip in his hands to pick anything..
but modern pentecostals have it different. All can see what you drop in the tray, and u can collect change

Imustreturn:
Are you doing the will of God?

U can't be a saint if u don't obey his words.

Lord give us the strength and grace to do your will and become saint in your kingdom

Amen

Not so sir/ma
A saint is anyone who has been sanctified by the blood of Jesus once and for all
not some morally upright walking folks
Dont get me wrong, walking upright is the norm for all saints (those washed), but walking upright does not make you a saint of God

any PhD applicant interviewed today? or scheduled for tomorrow
