Hmmm, thought this guy was arrrested?

Nigeria government did not show interest. They probably thought he is working against the Obidient family.

Hard Truth: Politicians don't have your interest at heart. They will only use you during election by giving you a morsel of meal in exchange for your future. And so many keep falling scam to them.

And they will never allow good people to win election. But their time is over. A New Nigeria is about to be birthed where things will begin to function normally.

We are living in a competitive world even in the field of soccer. There are no longer easy wins. Even lowly rated countries can spring surprises like it happened in the last world cup.

So, if you want to have advantage over other countries, you must put in your best.

1. Get a very good coach with good track record for winning international matches. If what we have now as coach is the best NFF can get, then it's better we go for an indigenous coach. After all, the last AFCON was won with an indigenous coach.

2. Get the best players in all positions. Make players fight for their shirts. Avoid sentiments and nepotism. NFF should stop imposing players on coaches. Nothing like payment of dues by players that warrant permanent positions.

3. No player should play for more than two AFCON unless he started very young and his still performing.

4. Organize enough friendlies so players can blend. It must not always be FIFA scheduled friendly. The more they play together, the more they understand one another. The era of gathering players few days to competition and expect them to do magic is over.

What you invest in anything is what you will get back.

I am looking forward to a new squad like the USA 94 and France 98 squad that big countries dread.

USA 94 team had the opportunity to advance to the quarter final and even win the world cup but sold it out.

May it never repeat itself again. This is the spirit of Esau.

Excerpt from Scripture Keys to Prosperity

Chapter Four

7 Steps to Consistent Financial Increase

1. You Must Work with the Right Mentality

As much as seed sowing is scriptural, God does not run a casino shop where you just sit at home, sow your seeds and money will just start falling into your home through the roof of your building. God expects us to work. Even the first man Adam was given a job to do.

“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” (Genesis 2:15)

“And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.” (Genesis 2:19-20)

From the passage above, Adam was given both physical and mental work. He had to put his mind to work when he named the animals. I wonder how many months he took him to do that. That was a real time tasking assignment.
If you really want to be rich beyond measure, you must own your own business. Those who work for people or organizations have limited height they can rise to in wealth acquisition. Most people that are public offices holders that are very rich are thieves. It is a lot easier to own your business and watch it grow to an enviable height.

The moment you can identify a need and do something to meet that need, you have gotten yourself a job. Some jobs might just be to supply useful information and you will get paid for it. This book you are reading for instance is useful information you or someone paid for.
There are lots of people who just sit at home and still make money for themselves. All they do is to go on line and find out what people need and package the answer in the form of an information product and get paid for it. Be a solution provider and you will never be broke.

There are those who are waiting for a certain amount of money before they can start their own business. What you need first is an idea. When you have the right idea, target the right market and people will buy into your idea. The scope of this book will not permit me to go into details of business ideas and strategies but the message is that you must have something doing if you want to prosper.
When God promised to bless the Jews, hear what he told them;

“And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. (Deuteronomy 28:11-12)

If you have nothing doing, what is God going to bless? You don’t have to wait for an employed job. Just start something. Don’t be afraid of failing. The one who fails through an attempt is better than the one who never attempts anything. You can even start something new altogether. God has placed within you the ability to be a problem solver.
The book of Ecclesiastes says;

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
Your attitude to work also matters and the excellence displayed in the discharge of your duty counts. We will look at this in a later section.

2. You Must Give Based On Biblical Principles.

If you must have lasting prosperity, you must give according to principles contained in the scripture. Giving is one way God has ordained for us to be blessed. In fact, everything in God’s kingdom revolves around the principle of sowing (giving) and reaping (receiving).

“And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” (Mark 4:26-29)

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:22)

“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.” (Genesis 26:12)

Like I mentioned in a previous section, the main reason why you work is to give. (Ephesians 4:28). On the contrary however, people are more conscious of their needs rather than plant their seeds first. A wise farmer will always take away the best part of the harvest to plant against the next farming season. In the same way, when you receive your income or profit from your business, plan your giving first before spending. If you spend first before giving to God first, you are dishonouring God. God wants you to give him first.

Look at what he said in the book of Isaiah;
“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11)

No matter how hard you work, if you do not practice giving according to the principle outlined in the scriptures, you will meet with frustrations. Remember what happened to Cain who did not honour God with his first ripened harvest but gave him the left over. God rejected his offering and he later became a murderer and a wanderer – Gen. 4:3-12.
Jesus said; “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38)
The next chapter will enlighten us on the different areas and ways we should sow our seeds.

3. Water Your Seed

Every wise farmer knows that you don’t just plant your seed and leave and abandon your farmland until the harvest day. They ensure that the seeds are properly watered. How do you water your seed sown? You water your seed through continuous giving. This is why a few persons have given up on the principle of seed sowing. They drop their seed once; expect a harvest and when the harvest doesn’t show up in their own time, they give up.
It is not impossible to get a harvest from a seed sown once. But one sure way you can guarantee a harvest is to give consistently.

“Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.” (Ecclesiastes 11:1-2,6)

4. You Must Get Rid of Every Weeds.

Every farmer knows that weeds always grow alongside the seeds sown and if the weeds are not removed, it could choke the growth of the seeds. Spiritually there are weeds that can destroy your harvest. One of such weeds is when you walk out of love. Jesus said;

“Therefore if thou bring thy gift (seed) to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” (Matthew 5:23-24)

Jesus is teaching us here that your seed will not be accepted if you have hurt someone you have not reconciled with. So, you must ensure you make peace with anyone that is keeping grudge against you.

Another form of weed is evil speaking. When you speak evil of your fellow believer, you may not reap any harvest. Remember, the child of God carries the blessing of Abraham. God told Abraham, he will bless anyone that blesses him and curse anyone that curses him. This blessing is what the child of God has inherited in Christ. So, when you open your mouth and speak evil against a child of God, you incur a curse instead of a blessing. And that curse could choke your expected harvest.

Negative words you speak about your finances could also block your harvest. You have to be mindful of what you say. The Bible says;
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21)

Unfaithfulness is another weed that can choke your harvest. What has God called you to do? Be faithful to it and you will abound with blessing.

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” (Proverbs 28:20)

5. Release Your Harvest Through Positive Confession

Words carry creative power. You can release your harvest through your words. Open your mouth and declare that your harvest (Specify it) is coming back to you. If you hold on to your confession, it will sure come to you.

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” (Hebrews 10:35-36)

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering.” (Hebrews 10:23)

6. Increase Your Capacity to Give After a While.

When you notice that God has truly prospered you, your capacity to give should increase. You shouldn’t be at the same level of giving after a while. If your wealth increases and you still continue to give the same amount, you are acting dishonestly and stand the risk of losing your wealth.

Let’s look at the example of King Solomon and compare the first sacrifice he made to the second one. You will notice a remarkable difference.

“And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.... And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.” (1 Kings 3:4-5,13)

“And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.” (1 Kings 8:63)
Apostle Paul implied this principle in his letter to the Corinthian church;

“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness” (2 Corinthians 9:10)


7. Step Up And Enlarge Your Tent.

Put in another sense, your source of income should expand. People who consistently grow in their wealth always look for new opportunities to invest their monies. You should never focus on one type of business only. You should not at the same time be a jack of all trade. Even if it is the same business you choose to stick to, you must be innovative. Package your product in a more excellent way. Outdo your past and your competitors in the same business.

If is service rendering business, you must provide better ways of rendering service such that you will attract new customers while retaining the old ones.

Never run your business outfit without anything new that will get people’s attention. People love change and if you don’t give it to them, you might lose them to your competitors who are doing something new.

Cruel... so many Beasts in human form. Quite unfortunate the nose can’t perceive an evil even when they’re very close or live with us

But the human spirit that is regenerated in Christ can. This is why I always persuade people to embrace Christ and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit. It makes your life supernatural such that a thing like this can't happen to you.

You will either see it before it happens or your heart or spirit will get the signal.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith - 4.

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." (1st Timothy 6:12).

We are so far dealt with three factors that can ruin your Christian testimony and make you a misfit for the kingdom of heaven. They are the love of money, idolatry and hatred. Make effort to ensure they don't ruin your Christian testimony at the end of your journey on earth. Such efforts you put in is what Apostle Paul calls the good fight of faith.

So, you must guard your faith against them if you want to win your spiritual warfare and still be counted worthy to be a part of the kingdom of heaven. The fourth factor which is also one of the works of the flesh that can derail you from the faith is anger.

Anger itself is not a sin but it can lead to sin if it's not properly managed or controlled. Anger is an emotional issue which most people find it difficult to manage. It has ruined so many relationships, separated best of friends, led to lost of lives, resulted in wars and has created tension in many homes. It can cause you to also make wrong decisions which you might later regret.

Moses couldn't enter the promised land partly because of anger. Some parents in anger curse their children. News of wives killing their husbands in anger because of infidelity are common these days. The converse is also true.

It's however your responsibility to control your anger. One of the attributes of the new nature you have in Christ which the scripture calls the fruit of the spirit is self control. Let that new man be in charge. Don't permit the emotion of anger to control you. Thus, it is written; "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice." (Ephesians 4:31).

In addition, the scripture says; "Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools." (Ecclesiastes 7:9). You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Don't permit anger to ruin your chances of entering into the kingdom of heaven. Make a quality decision never to allow anger to control you. God will certainly supply the grace you need to put it under subjection.

Prayer: Mighty and Everlasting Father, hallowed be your name. I thank you for keeping me safe through the night and the opportunity to witness a brand new day. I ask you for grace to be slow to anger and never stir me up to say the wrong things or commit acts that could hurt someone in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

But during elections, FCT is treated like a state.. Making 37th states during elections..

For law to recognize any election in Nigeria, it needs to hold in a state. This is why FCT is made 37th state during election. So that any votes you secure from there won’t be a waste. That’s why. Nothing else..

You people are looking escape route. There is no escape. Tinubu will be disgraced. The evidences against him are overwhelming.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith - 3.

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." (1st Timothy 6:12).

So far, we have discussed how money and idolatry can sway you away from the faith. Like we said earlier in the previous studies, your warfare victory is meaningless if you lose your soul in the process. The good fight of faith is a fight that ends well.

The third character trait that can lure you away from the faith is hatred. Hatred is a dislike for someone which can degenerate into hostility and murder. It is the direct opposite of love. As God's children, we have been admonished not to hate. You cannot be engaged in spiritual warfare and walk in hatred at the same time. Hatred gives the devil a foothold in your life.
The gate to eternal life is too narrow to grant entrance to those who walk in hatred. Thus the scripture says; "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." (1st John 3:15).

The one sure way to overcome hatred is to consciously walk in love even towards your perceived enemies whenever you have the opportunity. Hence, our Lord Jesus said; "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." (Matthew 5:44).

Kenneth Hagin of blessed memory gave an account of how a fellow man of God spoke so much evil against him and his ministry. One day he had the opportunity to be a blessing to him when he was building his house. He offered to wallpaper his house. When he was through, the man of God asked him how much he owed him. He said nothing that he just decided to do it for him. The Pastor and his wife broke down in tears and began to confess all the negative things they have been saying against him.

Another way to overcome hatred is to avoid keeping records of things people do against you. If you do, each time you remember them, it will stir up hatred in you. Learn to forgive and let go of the past. Don't give the devil an opportunity to accuse you and make your spiritual battles look like an endless one. Tomorrow, we will look at anger as another work of the flesh that can ruin your Christian testimony and even cost you your salvation.

Prayer: Dear Father, I give you thanks for your goodness and wonderful works in my life. I thank you for yet another glorious day. Lead me in the path of righteousness for your name sake. I ask for grace to love those who hate me and do good to them in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

You see how you dodged all the points I raised and talked about something absolutely inane, then ended it with a completely useless verse. That's the exact pattern christians use when they are clueless about a topic

What is BCE and CE? It's still with reference to Christ. It was just coined out not so that non Christians will be more comfortable with it. It's still the same date as BC and AD.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith - 2.

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." (1st Timothy 6:12).

It's true that we are engaged in a warfare. But there is the wicked one who attempts to derail us from the faith through the trials and evil he projects against us. He does everything within his power to make us disbelieve what God has said concerning us. It's however our responsibility to resist him and stand on God's word in spite of contrary evidences.

We said yesterday that the ultimate goal of Satan is to make you miss heaven and end up in the pit of hell. So, the good fight of faith is the fight that after the warfare is over, you are still standing in the faith. We also mentioned yesterday that one thing that lures most believers away from the faith is their attitude towards money. Money competes with God in the heart of so many believers. This is why our Lord Jesus said; "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (money)." (Matthew 6:24).

The second thing that lures many believers away from the faith is the weakness of their flesh. Our flesh was not redeemed at new birth. It still has the nature of sin in it. And most of the times, it controls the child of God who permits it. Apostle Paul mentioned some of the works of the flesh in his letter to the Galatian church and it reads; "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."(Galatians 5:19-21).

The list is quite a long one and we can't certainly deal with all for want of space. Most of the works of the flesh mentioned are not knew to us and will therefore not require further explanation. For the purpose of illustrating how these things lure us away from the faith, let's discuss idolatry, hatred, wrath (anger), strife, envying and drunkenness.

Idolatry is not just the worship of idols but anything that takes more of your attention than God. To some people, their business is their idol. They prefer to be in their business premises when they are supposed to be in church. To others, it's the internet or their phone. They spend hours daily on their phones such that it has becomes an idol to them. To yet a few others, it is one game or the other. They hardly find time to study the Bible and even pray because of these idols. It's a subtle road to hell. Never permit anything in your life to take the place of God.

Do whatever you must do to ensure that God has the number one place in your heart. Draw out a schedule for prayer and Bible study and stick to it. Stop using the time you are supposed to be in fellowship for your business or one form of pleasure or the other. Remember, the scripture says; "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:26-27). We will continue tomorrow.

Prayer: Glorious Father, who is like unto you? Besides you, there is no other God. Have mercy on me in ways and manners I may have given attention more to other things than you. I reaffirm my love for you and give you preeminence in all that I do from this day henceforth in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Whoa. What a life of jollification you must be living
But sorry to burst your bubble
1. The creation story is filled with loopholes
2. There is no evidence Moses ever existed outside the Bible. He's a mythical figure
3. Which prophesies have been fulfilled specifically?
4. The rest of the posts are delusions of grandeur

Your problem is unbelief.

Like I always tell skeptics like you, Jesus is acknowledged as Lord even by those who rejected him. History revolves around him. Your birthday is lost without him.

You can tell me that there are other dating system but the dating around the birth of Jesus is Supreme.

Unbelief is a straight ticket to hell as contained in the passage below;

Revelation 21:8

But the fearful, and UNBELIEVING, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Chapter 9 – How to Be Saved.

The subject of salvation is often misunderstood by so many and it is important to throw light on this subject.
First salvation has nothing to do with your works of righteousness. The Bible says; “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”. (Romans 3:23). Prophet Isaiah wrote;
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES ARE AS FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6).

Your salvation also has nothing to do with keeping the Commandments of God contained in the Law of Moses. The Law of Moses had been abolished because it could not give life. The Bible said;

“For there is VERILY A DISANNULLING OF THE COMMANDMENT GOING BEFORE FOR THE WEAKNESS AND UNPROFITABLENESS THEREOF. For the LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.” (Hebrews 7:18-19).

“Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Galatians 3:21, 2:21).

Your salvation also has nothing to do with water baptism, church confirmation or belonging to a local church. Belonging to a local church is of course very important but it’s meaningless if you are not saved. Your salvation is a free gift given on the platform of God’s grace. And it is obtained by faith;

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

How to your exercise this faith? There are two simple step as outlined in the book of Romans;
“That if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

The first step is to believe with your heart that Jesus died for you and that God raised him up on the third day to justify you. The second step is open your mouth and confess what you just believed and also affirm that Jesus is the Lord of your life. The moment you do this; you will know that a change has happened deep within you. You will receive a new spirit from God that will stir your life in a new direction of a holy living, glory and success.

So, if you want to be saved or born again, please say this prayer loud enough to your hearing and mean it from your heart.
Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me. I also believe that your blood shed washed my sins away and God raised you up on the third day to justify me. I hereby receive you as my Lord and personal Saviour from this day henceforth. I thank you for forgiving my sins. Thank you for saving me. I am a child of the most high God from this day henceforth in Jesus name. Amen.

Congratulations if you said this prayer. Please place order for my book titled ‘Now That You Are Born Again’ so it can guide you on how to grow up in your new found faith and live a victorious Christian life. And find a Christ believing Church to attend and serve God with undivided attention.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith - 1.

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." (1st Timothy 6:12).

One aspect that is often not addressed concerning spiritual warfare is our salvation. And this is the area that the devil is more interested in. His ultimate goal is to ensure you miss heaven and be with him in hell. And this is the worse thing that can happen to a believer who devoted part of his time on earth in service to God.

Don't just be interested in how you can get breakthroughs in your finances, marriages, health issues and even in your career pursuit. Breakthroughs in any of these areas we just mentioned that you achieve at the expense of your salvation is meaningless. Thus, our Lord Jesus asked; "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).

It is in this context that Apostle Paul gave his admonition in the opening text. Ironically, the opening text has often been taken out of context. It is usually applied to how faith wins with reference to laying claim to what we are trusting God for. But in actual context, Paul is talking about making effort to ensure that you are not lured away from the faith in the midst of divers temptations. He called such efforts you put in 'the good fight of faith'.

It is an understatement to say that so many professing believers and even ministers of the gospel fall into temptations that lures them away from the faith during periods of trials. For instance, there are quite a few ministers who seek fetish powers to grow their churches. Some of them have been caught using people for sacrifices just because they want growth, wealth and fame.

Quite a few others make merchandise of their members by packaging substances which they use as healing media and sell them at cut-throat prices. There are those who even join secret cults to get wealth and fame. This is why Apostle Paul said; "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition." (1st Timothy 6:9).

He went on to add; "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1st Timothy 6:10). Thus, he admonished ministers in particular saying; "But thou, O MAN OF GOD, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." (1st Timothy 6:11).

God is not against you having money but don't attempt to get rich at the expense of losing your soul. Rather, follow after godliness, faith, love, patience, good works coupled with willingness and readiness to share what God has blessed you with others. Tomorrow, we will look at a few other things that can lure us away from the faith.

Prayer: Everlasting Father, I give you thanks for your mercy and grace that has kept me thus far. I reject every form temptation that is designed to lure me away from the faith. I ask for more grace to follow after righteousness, godliness, love and give generously to others in need in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Further Study: 1st Timothy 6:17-19, Titus 1:7.

This is making me cry rn, 😥 I can feel their pains.
It is only a sorrowful woman in pain goes naked when she's meditating.
May God heal our land.😥

Don't mind those condemning the women. The extent of the pain one feels can make you do what you never plan to do.

It's dangerous to force a leader on people.

If women swear for you naked, you will not survive it.

They should allow their votes to count.

Nasarawa State is a Christian state. They should not force a Muslim Governor on them.

Jflex07:
Nawaoh for some people oh. Did musa invite himself to the national team?

He should resign. Is he among the best attacker from Nigeria. What is his goal per match scoring ratio. He scores one goal in seven matches for the national team. So, what's is so special about him that they keep inviting him.

Or, it's just to maintain federal character at the expense of good results.

He should please resign and let younger and more talented players play.

There is so much mediocrity in our football sector.

If you want the best, select the best team and put in your best. There should be no sentiments.

Even the coach is not a world class coach.

Seunfretty:
Personally I think when you have a player like Osimhen you have to options

1) Build a team that works for him
2) Build a team that can work without him

I will rather go for the later!!!!...cos it's working in Napoli doesn't mean it will work in Nigeria...the opponents are different...the environment is different...the player quality/style and team formation is different...

Common sense

The real problem with Super Eagles is NFF. There are players who have a permanent position whether they are in good form or not. And some of the players are due for retirement but they still call them.

They should permit the coach to scout for new players. Make each position competitive. And they should stop demanding money from new players to be qualified to be a part of the team.

Corruption is killing our team. NFF is corrupt.

What is Ahmed Musa and Iwobi doing in the team?

There are new players who are doing well.

We will not have sense until we fail to qualify for AFCON. It has happened before. And it will happen again.
