DrummaBoy: This is the biggest lie pro-tithers propagate: IT WORKS!

Below are a number of things that work also, does it mean they are scriptural?

1. Animism: People still carry 'ebo' and such like today and it works for them

2. There are Imams who say prayers and mix concotions for people and it works for them.

3. Eastern Religions, Buddhism and Hinduism have adherents today bc those things work for people.

4. Many still worship gods of trees and sun and cows and pythons bc they work for them.

5. Many in white garment churches are bound to their prophets and prophettesses bc the prayers and incantations they make work.

We do not serve Jesus bc one thing or another works for us: we serve Christ in faith, whether it works or not.

bros u are too much.this is it.like i said before giving is giving.call it 10% 50% or 200%,is all about giving.lets not put burden on people rather let them have freedom to serve God in spirit and in truth.for me tithing is old testament and giving big time is new testament.the more am blessed the more i give both in church to the community and the less priviledged.God is not forcing us to pay him money but we give because we love him(GOD).

Guys listen.i am not afraid to pay or not pay tithe.my personal convinction is that christains should give to God by either giving in church or giving to someone in need.infact one who claims to be a christain and yet is tightfisted is not a believer.you can give God 100% or 1%.all is money being giving to God.the problem i have with 10% giving is that christain has turned it to idle and some people just give it and dont give a damn about a church member who needs 1% of that tithe to start a business.these things are christain practices just like fasting and i believe it has benefit but God will never be angry with u whether u pay or not pay.infact most people that pay tithe may end up in hell because after paying they see it that the whole money left is their own to use as they want.my church pays tithe but i pay if i want just like i fast if i want but i make sure am a giver.is not compulsory to pay tithe and thats my opinion based on bible and personal convinction

agbameta: And this is a senior government official and the mouthpiece of the federal government of Nigeria picking up fights on the internet like a damn thug...

Talk about serious lack of respect for his own job and the people of Nigeria.

A sad reflection of his useless boss, cheap and worthless administration..

Young man or woman(whatever u are).if u keep talking about people at the top the way u just did then am afraid that u will remain where u are.how does people find it easy to call names to mr president and yet we all want good governance from him. just search ur heart .the simple thing is that u hate Gej and that will not take u anywhere in life.why not concentrate on the matter at hand and leave Gej out of this

Am really suprised by the kind of arguement that is going on here.intelligent nigerians who claim to be educated and enlightened are busy faighting ethnic wars and these same people want nigeria to be prosperous.guys we have to wake up from slumber.in my own opinion after spending a minimum of four years in the university, a graduate is expected to reason at a certain level but what i see here is people(youths) having a reasoning that does not project them as intelligent.what so important in this arguement.the most important thing is that the power sector is improving but these people wont see it.i pity 4 all of u and these moderators dont do anything to stop all the ish going on here.nairaland should be a place to discuss how to move the nation forward.am out.okada abeg carry me comot here

Greatken007: WHO IS AT THE LOOSING END?I GUESS STUDENTS AND THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA...THIS IS PURE POLITICS TO DISCREDIT GEJ GOVERNMENT.I CAN BET ANYTHING,ASUU REQUEST IS FOR THEIR OWN BENEFITS AND NOT TO THE UNIVERSITIES THEY GOVERN...WHAT IS WORLD BANK STEP-B MEANT FOR?WHAT IS FG GRANT DESIGNED FOR?WHERE ARE THE MONEY THAT WERE GENERATED FROM ALL PROGRAMS INCLUDING POST UME GOING TO?FG DOES NT HAVE SUCH MONEY TO WASTE.SOME PPLE DONT REALLY KNOW THE GRAVITY OF 3 TRILLION.

greatest ken is ur man orji.i have one question for ASUU.WHAT IS THE NATIONS BUDGET FOR 2013?

Weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning. my personal convinction is that the problem we are going through in Nigeria will usher us into a new nigeria devoid of hate,corruption and everything that cause tears to flow through the eyes of men.i feel for those who lost their lost ones and my prayer is that the true God will grant them peace in this moment of grief.AMEN.Brothers keep praying for Nigeria

I didnt know that he was possesed by a demon spirit.nawao wonders shall never end

Erotex: Yoruba una dey try jaree!! I would prefer coke than BEING a terrorist. Every tribe has it flaws, stop accusing Igbos for drug by the way una too dey CARRY drug again.

stop this tribal thing is not helping us

babyosisi: I remember comments that our SW Muslims could not hurt a fly
I wrote here way back then that it was just a matter of time since the spirit of the religion is the same
They have proven all doubters right over 10 times and counting.
they are now generals in Boko haram and alqueda
Terror cells have been uncovered in Lagos manned by sons of the soil
Let me hear any of you point fingers at The north again
Nigeria is doomed if the so called liberal Muslims are now in the forefront of terror
What we have in maiduguri will be a child's play compared to what these SW Muslims will do to Lagos when they decide to
Not if they decide to but when.

Are u happy that the man is from the west? Are prophesing doom for lagos.abeg stop

COOLDUN: I want to hear from the BIGOTS who always jump up from their slums whenever there is bad news about other tribe, where are they now? This is how their people are representing the country positively as the best tribal ambassadors.


Crime is bad and it should be condemned by everybody irrespective of your tribe, religion and party. Nigeria is fast becoming a nation of terrorists. What is his name once again?

thats why many of us never go far.we are tribalistic and my concern is that if we the youth dont drop such trait,then Nigeria may remain where it is.the man should be made to face the wrath of the law.check him very well he probably aids boko haram.

[quote author=the_ripper3]Look at that blackened spot on his forehead like a crosshair. Core muslim if u ask me. Useless Yoruba terrorist.[/quote]Stop this name calling.it wont take us anywhere.the fact is that he aids terrorism and that is very bad.lets forget if he is yoruba or hausa or igbo .it doesnt matter

I am wondering why is so easy for us to point accusing fingers at others when in the real sense of it we may just be a causative agent of the problem.if only we followed truth,honesty and integrity in Nigeria,thing would have been better.what pains me is the attitude of the Nigerian youth who instead of fighting for the good of the nation are busy fighting ethnic and religious war(GOD HELP US).We should stop asking the question of what is in it for me and with that corruption will die a natural death.thanks Op and may God save Nigerian.AMEN

[quote author=madam_oringo]Not surprised at the name of the writer. Even the colonialist white men confirmed that in the whole of Nigeria at that time, only people of the West never sheepishly followed, looked down when they needed to engage them or act as sissies. Bold, strong and courageous people! Naija is what it is, my only advise is to either start your own business on the side, find a better job or get the heck out of Naija to study and establish elsewhere. Naija is a joke and I only see ass lickers of the retardeen anytime the backwardness of the country is brought to light.[/quote]I always read your post and is never void of hate.i wonder if this is inborn or is it from your psychology.this world is too small and the earlier u change the better it will be.always attacking president Gej as if u know anything to do if u become the president of Nigeria.always attacking south south and south east as if your own zone are superhumans.madam oringo abeg change.like i said the other time Nigeria will remain when you are long dead.am igbo and my elder brother is married to yoruba and to be sincere she is the best wife in my house.i dont see ethnic groups in Nigeria.all i see is Nigerian people living together as one.dont be a hater it shortens your life and it speaks bad of you as someone who has gone to school

Believe me 2face is not excited because is not a new thing to him but to the lady i say a big congrats

For a long time i have red and analysed people comments on this forum and i came to a conclusion that most people are out to abuse,insult and make degrading statements about our country and the politicians.in my own opinion nobody can claim to have a magic wand that will turn Nigeria around in 4 years(one tenure in office).Nigerias problem did not happen in four years time. therefor dont expect a government to come in, stay four years and make Nigeria become like USA.Enough of this Fashola is good and bad,GEJ is not performing and he is a kindagarten president, Amechi is not good and all these regular insult that people rent on our politician in this forum.Now the question is, if you are the president of Nigeria,what are the things u will do to make Nigeria a better place so that hausa igbo yoruba and every other ethnic group will be satisfied?

[quote author=madam_oringo]Some people do not understand that flocking to anywhere, any other person's lands while leaving your own is the dumbest thing to do! Oh by all means, move to the ends of the earth but hold down a solid property in the lands of your fathers! One day, you might just need it! While in the lands of others, do the right thing, get an original C of O so you can enjoy the lease of the land for 99 years (if you live that long), make some money, live well, pass the baton to your children so they can do the same for their kids. Going to Abuja to cry will NOT give you the lands of the Gwaris and original land owners! When Nigeria capitulates, they will still own the land, every one else will have to find their square root! Madam lynpetra, I for like marry you but you seem to be too bitter, are you a learner? Just kidding o, seems you are the type that will go off on a tangent in an instant! Yes, I once lived in that same Abuja and I know how it feels to see how people's houses were demolished (el-Rufai's days). I think people just need to do the right thing and not think they are smarter than others by quickly building on a piece of land that is not legally theirs or approved. Most IMPORTANTLY, you people in Nigeria should vote in REAL LEADERS who have a solid vision, are prepared to lead the country and take you to the level that the West is now in today's world. Most of you especially the SE and SS think more in terms of money, what you can eat, what's in it for you, our oyel, if-Dokubo-is-paid-and-fed-fat-then-all-SS-people are also fed as though they shared the same belly and bank account. Same for the retardeen GEJ. Same for ibos who do only follow-follow to any government in Nigeria in order to gain some eye-service approval. PM joor and I will let you share my penthouse suite in downtown NY with me for a month! [/quote]I sense hate i this write up.every ethnic group is peculiar in Nigeria.people like u most be one of those secret admirers of the BH people.if u were born in USA i guess u would commit suicide seeing a black man rule America.U talk as if Gej is nothing(no respect).meanwhile u dont have the slightest idea on how to tackle the problems of naija . GOD save us from haters and let us live together in Nigeria as one and help our president to rule us with wisdom and understand and let his successor perform better.i dont care his region(SE SS SW or north is ok 4 us).help the haters to understand that Nigeria will remain even when they are long dead.i pray 4 naija my fathers land.AMEN

tie a big stone to each of their necks and drown dem one after the other on a big tank
of vegetable oil.

or..

put three or four of them in a black tank, lock the tank and put the tank in the sun.

or..

give them big bowl of very hot pepper soup till their belly is filled up
and tie them to a pole upside-down position in the hot sun.

or

tie them to the floor, remove they clothes, rub dog food all over their ballz, release hungry dogs.


the deepest circle of hell is reserved for those who are guilty.. basturrrrds

i wonder how u got these ideas.i am afraid

scribble: They also don't respect women. Them fit slap their own mama join. Unscrupulous lot.

i disagree that easterners dont respect women.infact we are known to make better husbands.the policewoman case is a special case.mind u we dont know how truthful the story is.such story must appear in a major newspaper if it is true.so dont be in a hurry to place such comment.am sure u are not from the east

good move by you all.i hope to be there in the next meeting.i love the part that says stoping the importation of goods that can be manufactured in nigeria.thats our major problem in nigeria.how can we keep importing goods that can be made in nigeria and expect to be industrailised

I didnt recieve the first email nor the second email that was sent to unsuccesful candidates.am just curious.is there anybody in the house that got the second mail that did not get the first email?

lertee: We argue everyday on nigeria and how backward she is,what solution have we or can we profer? What is the way forward? If our leaders are bad,are the followers not worse?

thank you my brother.most people talk as if they have a magic wand to turn the country around for good.let them not forget that the military caused the problems we are facing today.they destroyed things for us and remember that it is easier to destroy than to build
