✓ Yes, Jesus Christ himself would never have been in support of preaching to Gentiles whom he saw as dogs. Paul who never met Jesus was the one that started preaching to Gentiles

The Gentiles of Paul's time where actually Israelites born of foreign blood like Timothy and others who did not have both parents of the blood of Jacob; like Moses' son, only one parent was of the blood of Jacob.

The ones you lied to you that the word Gentile refers instead to those without a blood connection whatsoever to the man Jacob are those of the religion of Christianity, a religion founded by the ones Jesus made clear were dogs and should be given that which is Holy.

■ The situation is terrible. Getting a job that needs transport to and fro now looks like slavery .
I previously created a topic about an employer that refused to disclose salary range. Days ago on Facebook, I posted in a group that I needed a job that can pay at least 100,000 naira monthly. Same employer contacted me. I had to remind him that we have spoken before. This time, he had no choice but decided to state the salary. It's a position of a secretary and he's said the salary is 40k. Transport to and fro will cost me 1,000 daily. So let's assume 25,000 naira is spent on transport, leaving a balance of 15,000 naira. Will 15,000 naira be enough to feed me in a month? That's 500 naira a day. Can 166 naira put food on the table? Other expenses nko? I told him it can't work for me. And he asked me to find anyone that can take the job. This life eh.. Sometimes, I wish the night never ends. Cos once it's morning, depression sets in. When will this phase be over?

Phase? Has anything in Nigeria ever happened in this phase you speak of? What is happening today is a culmination of bad/terrible decisions made by the citizenry over the last 25 years. And it is bound to get worse as it seems the people are not done at all with the making of terrible decisions. And surely, you understand that bad decisions can only yield bad results... good can never come out of this until the people begin to collectively make better decisions.

■ Don't get u bro, don't know if u can make it clearer. Thanks

Read closely what OP wrote, and what you wrote. The problems you describe stem from your upbringing... ideas that you were raised to adhere to... ideas that don't seem effective in managing your relations out in the real world. OP can't confront his brother who wronged him, and his family members think the only way they can be on good terms with the rich one is to walk around on shells around him. The father and mother equally also do the same to avoid falling out of favor with their rich son suggesting that their relationship was never a solid one to begin with.

Stephen2324:
I came across a story about a married woman who lied to her husband, saying she was traveling. He agreed, took her to the park, and waited for the bus to leave. She got off on the way, took a cab to a hotel to meet another man, and tragically died there.

And?

Kongaone:
3k daily is already more than minimum wage. It will favour you and your family that you can't feed.

How much is food in the market today? How much is electricity and other bills? How much is rent?

■ Why not help me with whatever u can at this point?

For?

Metal751:
■ How did you know that I did not protest?
■ And if I May ask, what good result has the protest yield? Have things not become worse after the protest? Pls Sir let's be mindful of our utterances when someone seeks help. Pls

Protesting your government in fact means using every resource available to you to see to it that the government is caused to change its course or be removed if not functioning. Has the government been removed at this point? Did you protest today or what?

2. Has what protest yielded? A protest is a continuous act. You don't protest and then give up after a while. You continue until your goal is reached. So, again, why do you speak of protest as if it is done and dusted? The suffering you are here complaining of is not something worth protesting?

Usmanovic95:
■ Nigerian politicians are devil in agbada. Set of heartless creatures.I wonder how they sleep at night knowing fully well people are living in pain and misery.

The Nigerian politicians you speak of are a mirror of the Nigerian people.

Metal751:
The hunger is too much. If u try to complain, people here will be insulting you. I need support to enable me buy some foodstuffs pls nairalanders. Help a soul. 🙏🙏

You should be out there instead protesting your government and its many policies. Why try to take advantage of equally struggling Nigerians like yourself?

aceman88:
Sorry for your terrible situation, Mr. Ajibaye Hope you were not once a member of the prestigious sophisticated group of Emilokun skullars?

Does that even matter at this point since the suffering is evenly distributed across the board to
► all those who voted for the current administration,
► all those who voted for other candidates,
► including all those who abstained from voting during the elections?

Everyone is equally impacted by the suffering and waiting their turn to be visited with more of the same or ultimately death in this.

Despite earning N20,000 daily, Ajibaye says he takes home only N3,000 after fuel expenses, leaving him unable to cater to his children and wife.
Acommercial driver identified as Wahab Ajibaye based in Ilorin, Kwara State has expressed frustration over the rising fuel prices, saying it has left him struggling to provide for his family.
Despite earning N20,000 daily, Ajibaye says he takes home only N3,000 after fuel expenses, leaving him unable to cater to his children and wife.
He said: “I am buying fuel for N1100 and I make N20,000 (daily) but I take only N3,000 with me to my house (after work). I am the owner of my car but I am no longer making enough to cater to my children and my wife. The All Progressives Congress (APC) government will not end well. Nigeria is becoming worse and we pray God takes away this set of current leaders.”
Ajibaye blamed the ruling APC government for the hardship faced by Nigerians, saying, "Their government is bringing more suffering. They're not ashamed, despite many Nigerians cursing them. They should rethink."

The cost of fuel is expected to keep rising for a while, so he should make sure that every adult in his family that is able to work is out there working each day to bring in what they can to help offset cost.

■ However you chose to interprete what you read is strictly your cup of tea

I didn't need to interpret it; I merely revealed the flawed nature of your conclusion. All Americans provide the funding that is the CIA. So in essence they are the backers of the CIA. when you then condemn money that is given out by the CIA to its contractors, you inevitably condemn those who equally back the CIA. And those are some of the people who prop up the Nigerian economy with billions in remittances each year.

But of course, these things don't make sense to people like you who thrive on myopically channeling your particular hate. You don't care for the facts since you are blindly focused on your target.

Difrent:
■ Okay I hear you. Every Nigerian abroad works for either CIA or. MI5 Or even MOSSAD sef. Thats why their remittances will be termed CIA funding. Anything more to add.

So, it does not matter that I fund the CIA and its missions— the people in the U.S. are in fact the government. I should instead directly work for the CIA before your particular delusion can be considered. 😂😂😂😂

Difrent:
■ Did you hear yourself? Remittances Not CIA FUNDING e be like say you just wan argue for argument sake , you don't really have a point. Rest abeg

The CIA is funded by the tax payers, many of the same people who are responsible for remitting money back to Nigerians in Nigeria. So, if the source is the problem, then it should follow that those responsible are equally a problem. Is that not how it should follow? Or do you somehow think Nigerians in the U.S. somehow do not back the CIA and its missions? 🤣

Difrent:
■ He has been getting money from foreign sources whose motives are not good for us , just like the kleptomaiac. What Sowore is doing is as bad for the country as the Kleptomaiacs ...... They are both agents of dis stabilization

Could we in the same breath equally conclude the remittances from foreign sources— Nigerians living in the disapora— to Nigerians back in Nigeria each year... those billions of dollars ... are with motives that destabilize Nigeria as well?

YINKS89:
■ you saying men also cheat doesn't justify their actions. Why not just leave the marriage when you know you want to cheat.
■ It's better you do it while not married than do it and be stigmatized by the community

The men could equally leave the marriage before cheating, but do they do so? No, they do not!

2. Those in the community that claim to be stigmatized by such behavior are instead imbe_ciles. If the cheating of the men does not cause the same stigmatization what reasons do they have for claiming cheating by women would do any such?

Difrent:
■ What's the difference between a kleptomaniac and a cashtivist? Nothing

So, Sowore has been stealing money from the Nigerian people the same as the politicians of the last 25 years who have stolen and mismanaged almost $100 Billion of the people's money? When did this take place and how?

vanbonattel:
■ Better that way. Till you all grow some brain cells. Let tribalism rule you for some time.

Your response makes absolutely no sense considering what I in fact asked.

LadyExcellency:
At their age, they can't finish their pension and allowances. What are they going to do with the so-called loot?

You think such things matter to thieves and low lives?

Difrent:
■ Who is calling the protests? Sowore? That one na CIA stooge now, he is bent on recreating the Kenya scenario here , they have given him new trainings and he feels he can come back to and dis stabilize Nigeria? Let someone with some integrity call for protest and see if the youths won't align with him Cashtivists like Sowore don cast

Cashtivists should not fight for the nation that is Nigeria so we should leave it all in the hands of kleptomaniacs and corrupt individuals who lavishly spend all that is your inheritance and that of your unborn children?

Bebigiby1:
I just read that over 60 youth groups have pulled out and are dissociating themselves from the upcoming October nationwide protest.... It is quite appalling that even under the terrible economic crisis affecting Nigerian youths, NANS and other youth national bodies can't in solidarity join other well meaning Nigerians to protest and demand for a better future and total reversal of bad policies of Tinubu's government..... It is shameful that fuel is now over N1000 per litres while Nigerians continue to toy with their future by abusing others, defending failed politicians online over tribalism and religious bigotry.... It is indeed pathetic that many Nigerians are not yet tired of bad governance....

Wetin concern groups with protest abeg?

■ Monday who is a Senator for a year, has don more projects in Edo than Incompetent Obaseki who is a Governor for 8 years.

The worst part of all of this is that the standard you raise is Obaseki, a governor who, with the clear support of senators in the same state, proved himself one of the worst things that happened to the people of Edo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When they say Nigerians deserve the leaders they get each time, they are simply stating what is a fact! Obaseki, Oshiomole, the ones before them, and the ones to come after... you keep allowing happen to you. Seems suffering and smiling is really a birthright. 😂

By the way, I read that Okpbebolo has a Master in Business Administration from the Univerity of Abuja. Was it taught him in his native language or something? 😂😂😂😂

Typing:
■ Trash again. We go use our votes to disgrace your Obaseki this weekend.

If your idea of disgracing Obaseki is voting in the very same men who were there in the senate enabling his plundering of your collective patrimony for all those 8 years, you and others who think as you do deserve to be lobotomized. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gandollar:
EFCC is the appropriate authority to go to when money of that nature is missing. They would investigate and prosecute.

Wrong! EFCC IS NOT the appropriate anything in this case or any other as there should never be a substitute or go-between as far as the courts in Nigeria. That is according to the Nigerian Constitution.

Gandollar:
His file is with EFCC for one year now. It's in the post.

Does EFCC somehow replace the Nigerian Judicial system which instead handles all criminal(and civil) cases? What you just said is like suggesting his case is with the ICPC. 😏

Sciencequiz:
A lot is going wrong in this country

Well duh! When you have almost 200 million examples of what are bad/terrible citizens, what do you expect? You can't make bad decisions after bad decisions and expect good to come from it all. Even a baby born minutes ago has figured that much out.

Typing:
■ Mumu talk. na so Asue wan come still rule Edo for another 8 years. Then put blames on Oshiomole's government? I can show you over 100 massive projects Oshiomele did with pictures. However your Governor Obaseki did zero project for Edo in the last 8 years. He has also borrowed hundreds of billions. Weting he use am do?

But this is the same Okpebolo who was on there in the state senate during Obaseki's rule, supporting all of that squalor and misappropriation. He too benefited from it as well. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Obaseki is not mine but yours. You all sat back and allowed him to plunder your state for 8 solid years same as you allowed Oshiomole before him. Okpebolo was there all the while with them taking his own share. Now you are attempting to argue that somehow this same Okpebolo is better and different from those he sat back and enjoyed the looting with all of those many years. 😂😂😂😂

You monkeys are doomed to keep shooting your futures and that of your children to sheet! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Brendaniel:
■ Nothing like typical Nigerian here, for someone like Tinubu, don't start a fight you can't finish, he doesn't have limits to how far he can go just to win especially if the battle is about his ambition or obsession and this one right here is connected with his ambition/obsession

You are nothin' but the typical Nigerian. You will do and say everything you can cook up as a means to avoid doing that which is required of good citizens... yes, you are the typical example of a bad citizen, and Nigeria is filled with people like you.

Edojoma:
■ That's to tell u how petty those we consider to be elders can be. You can see dat age no longer come with wisdom. Imagine a father apologizing to a son cos he has money, even wen we all know d boy was wrong. Cos he gives him millions. Me I won't sell my right or prestige, it's d last thing I will ever do. I believe if I keep working hard and smart, God will answer my call too.
All these shit I keep to myself, cos I don't want my family to know. I know my family, dey don't play with respect n traditions, it will lead to total breakdown of d relationship, even my marriage. Cos dey will force d father to provide his son, so he can apologize to me.
And I don't also wanna put my wife in a position of chosing between her marriage and her family.
The most painful part is dat, my wife brought dem up wen d father couldn't even afford admission fees and rent. I knew how much of my money she was diverting to dem to make sure things are good. She sacrificed her all, carried 3 siblings to d city, fed and accommodated dem, sacrificing her own life for dem, paid for d training dat made d eldest son who he is today. Den d father was respecting us, now dat d son is made, he now his son.
Now dey want us or only my wife to beg b4 she is given peanuts. And dey even used d word ENTITLE MENTALITY. How I wish we used doz resources and money to improve our own lives. I'm already in tears right now. My advise to anyone reading dis, help ursef b4 any1, even b4 ur family and wife. Cos u will b called someone with ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY wen u need their help. People change, but never believed it would b family.

Please train your children do better than you and those before you. Teach them social and emotional intelligence so they can grow to become better adults and realize that age is nothing but a number and respect should apply to all and not based on age.

Tradition/culture only makes sense when it benefits those who abide by it. Like any standard or system, the moment it ceases to be of value, it should be thrown out completely; blindly adhering to practices and laws that instead clearly damage families and communal relationships makes no sense!
