GoodBoi1:
It's obvious you likely don't have knowledge of God's word (the scriptures). So even if I try to explain some simple things that is expected of a Christian with spiritual understanding to know and believe. You will likely disagree with me. I might reply you later but my advice is get a 6 months or 1 month Bible reading plans, you start with New testament. Pray for the Holy Spirit to teach you. Endeavor to read it from beginning to end. Believe me your mentality will change. Also read books and study materials on topics like giving to answer questions you have believe me when you hear the truth, you will know. Let me ask you one question. Do you believe that God is the owner of all you own? I hope you are not an Atheist fronting as a Christian in order to cause confusion for other christians

GoodBoi1:
You don't give to God? Pls let me know if you are a Christian or an Atheist. Or you are the kind that hardly read the Bible and have no desire to learn? Give me scriptures to back up what you said if you are a Christian and prove me wrong

GoodBoi1:
You are missing the point. Whether they gave for seed sowing or for his need or to help other christians. First it was between them and God and before even him. As he clearly stated that they gave them self first to God. Jesus Christ said be it done unto you according to your faith. A Christian with spiritual understanding will know that there is blessing that comes with giving because the scriptures said it is more blessed to give than to receive. As a giver the right mindset is that we are not just giving to the church, or to the needy or a pastor as your kind like to believe. No, we are giving to God regardless of who receives it because the blessings come from God. We are merely stewards of whatever wealth God entrusted us with. It belongs to him. If a rich man like Buhari or Jonathan asks you to give him some money, you knowing fully well that this person doesn't really need it, won't you give him something "presentable" because of the respect you have for him, even though you might not have much. You will likely think that what you will get in return will exceed whatever you gave. How much more God? He doesn't need your money. It belongs to him in the first place and we should be willing to serve him with it if He is truly first in our lives. I should have posted a lot of scriptural references as I usually do but I'm not in a good position now. The Macedonian begged to give because they had the mindset that it was a service to the Lord as any christian should.
If a believe is convinced about something and has faith to do it. It actually is between them and God and not any man. The fact that you don't have faith for it doesn't mean you should condemn those that do

ItzEminence:
I just wish that One day my People of Abians we get a better Governor.

PDP have showed us pepper I swear

GoodBoi1:
So is it right to condemn "Pastor" Paul and call him greedy for receiving these givings knowing that these givers were in poverty?

GoodBoi1:
Why did Paul commend the Macedonian church for giving even out of their poverty?

2 Cor. 8:1-5
And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.
2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,
4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people.
5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.

AutoReportNG:
Many a time Nigerian road users fall victim of extortion of the law enforcement. Imagine a LASTMA official checking your car documents, this is not absurd but a slap on his employers. LASTMA officials are not meant to check neither are they to ask for car particulars. Ignorance is not an excuse in the court of law so its expedient one knows the duties of each law enforcement and try to decipher their modus operandi and what their line of duties.

There are 4 authorized law agencies which are mandated by law to regulate traffic, cars, and roads in Nigeria. While some are restricted to state roads, the rest are everywhere. For those in Lagos, the fear of LASTMA, VIO, FRSC and Police call for wisdom but most times due to the way we fear these folks, they act mostly on illegalities. For example, a video was trending on Twitter over the weekend between a LASTMA official and a Taxify driver, according to reports, the LASTMA officer asks for the driver's documents and other items. What most drivers don't know that this is not their duty, this is the duty reserved for FRSC and Police alone and not the LASTMA or VIO.

AutoReportNG decided its times to get our readers to enlighten on the duties of LASTMA, VIO, FRSC and Police on Nigerian highways.

MrAJQ:
Is it hard for you to understand that the form was fabricated?

I benefitted from Tradermoni, I registered many people and many market women benefited through my registration, all this without requirements to fill any form.

Those registering people might use different method, because we make #200 per registrations, so anyone can use any means but PVC is never part of the requirements

I'm not sure i know who those hating him are but the the stup!dest low-lifers are those who are atikulating to Obituary and abandoned this man and his cause. Shame to them all. Only shows all these guys are mischievous and never-do-good.

Even Boko-haram sef no dey waiver back and forth like this. People will take you serious if you stick to one cause and follow it through come what may.

I don tire mhennn.. I will have to be avoiding any related headlines henceforth. Can't deal.

seunmsg:
Dear Cross Riverians, we have a manual in the south west on how to deal with disturbances like this. We call it the 'Akure treatment'. We can extend it to you if you ask.

AGNESikpuNNU:

Nobody has even criticized you ... or you already know you typed trash.

Nowenuse:
My opinion too. Soldiers are still on earth risking their lives. Talking about people who take their own life and risk outside to space where there is no oxygen to breathe? This just has to be the most risky. Also, sea divers too.

CrystalMax:
I agree with you. Surgeons

Face topic stop shouting Abagworo up and down,

Is there any law that says he must start from councillorship

Proudlyngwa:
Nwosu has the support of Rochas his mentor.
Obj fought Yaraduas battles for him so, its not a new thing.
If Nwosu is qualified, let him go ahead.
What i will not support is using state resources to sponsor him, which remains an allegation until prooved otherwise.

shukuokukobambi:
You're being clever by half here.

The Nigerian army claim they were pelted with petrol bumbs, stones etc by the Shiites hence returning fire.

Now Trump, the leader of the Free world, says his soldiers will return bullets if they're pelted with rocks by migrants. Are you justifying him? Do you see nothing wrong with him saying he'll kill civilians as you've been screaming the Nigerian army did?

shukuokukobambi:
And that warrants being shot at by American soldiers as Trump promised?

shukuokukobambi:
I assume your Trump must be a devilish dictator who will order bullets on helpless asylum seekers or that's too big for you to admit?
