Yes ..he is right ..the phone can be traced .WD have a department in police that can do such .much as I detest Nigeria police but they can locate the phone

Not iron clad.

They can only trace a photo that is attached to a network provider.

If the individual jailbreak the phone and put a new SIM card, a reverse lookup can be done using the phone IMEI and the new phone number and register user can be gotten.

But, if the thieve ensure that; they first remove the old SIM card, then change the IMEI number of the phone before putting a new SIM card, that phone is lost forever as all trace will end up in a dead end....@qudus94

Incrizz:
Nah, you don't get it.

When Lazarus died,
Jesus told the disciples the truth, Lazarus is sleeping.

The disciples who didn't understand Jesus replied, If he is sleeping then it's a good thing because he'd wake up.

Then, Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead (human terms)
They understood this one.

When Jesus met the woman at the well,
HE told her the truth, Go call your husband. (Husband being the truth here)(She was one-ing with him. In the spiritual, she was married)
But she didn't understand and replied, I don't have a husband (world definition: no ceremony had been done yet on her, bride price etc )

Then, Jesus told her plainly, thou hast well
said I have no husband.....

You get it?
To Jesus, The LORD OF LORDS, she was married in the spiritual because she was having sex with the man.
But by human definition, by world definition, she was not married. So, in her own eyes she wasn't married.

Don't add to the scriptures, what you just did is add stuff that are not in the Bible to it, just to justify your misunderstanding of the Scriptures.

Even in your additions to the Bible, you completely failed to justify your erroneous position.

This is your position -Which is not supported by any Scriptures:
One is spiritually married to every and anyone they have sex with.

This is your addition to the Bible - With no scriptural backings...
HE told her the truth, Go call your husband. (Husband being the truth here)(She was one-ing with him. In the spiritual, she was married)

If your position was correct...Jesus would have said...Go call your husbands, because the Bible told us she have had five husbands and if you count the one she is currently with, that make it six...Jesus did not pluralize the husband...but your position indicates she must be having six spiritual husbands/marriages.

Either Jesus was wrong or you are completely misguided and out of your depth of understandings of the scriptures. Please and Please, do not add to the scriptures, you are treading on a dangerous ground...they are complete and of no private interpretations.

Every Christian completely understand the Lazarus situation and that, those who are dead are only dead physically, but are asleep in that, they will all raise again; because tons of Bible verses clearly speaks about this...we know that from the scripture....But there is no single scripture that talk about spiritual & physical marriage, that is your private interpretation and additions....if am wrong, please point me to one.

LadyGoddiva:
So since sex doesn’t necessarily bind two people as husband and wife, why then is God against all forms of sexual sin? Since sex doesn’t necessarily have any spiritual implications, why does God forbid it outside marriage? Why is marriage a key factor before one can have sex? I’d be most glad if you could answer these questions logically, preferably with scriptural backings.

1. I never said God is not against all form of sexual sins, quite the contrary; I clearly indicated that it is a sin...so is also lying, stealing, killing, etc.
2. Sex have the same spiritual implication as the sin of lying,stealing,killing,etc ....The soul that sinneth, it shall die..... The bible did not put a distinction between these sins....They will all end up in hell.
3. Sex unlike the other sins have an exclusion.....i.e. not all sexual acts are sinful before God...but all killings, all stealing, all lying, etc are sin against him, no exclusion. Marriage is the only exclusion for sex, hence God forbids it outside marriage.
4. Also No.3 above is why marriage is the key factor for anyone to have sex, because this is the only God sanctioned way of having sex for it not to be sin.

fineboynl:
not anyone but criminal.. then explain arrest warrant to me.

Again, not only criminals, the constitution did not single out criminals.

A Police or EFCC have the powers to arrest anyone without a warrant, as long as there is a probable cause. Probable cause just means, in the eyes of any reasonable person, if given the information the arresting agency have in their possession, will they be able to conclude that, a crime have been committed? Now, this information may not be true, it may be fabricated, this is not the time to adjudicate the case and at this point, the arresting officer have some level of trustworthiness on the information received. It is the duty of the prosecuting officer down the road to further investigate and see if a charge should be filed and even if a charge is filed, if they will prosecute it or withdraw the case. These are not the functions of the arresting officer.

Read the Nigeria Police ACT 80, here is a link to an online copy....
http://www.lawnigeria.com/LawsoftheFederation/POLICE-ACT.html

Some exerts:

when the police or EFCC sent invitation to anyone and the individual refuse to honor the invitation. the EFCC or police has no right to issue arrest to person like innoson in the manner they did. what they need is seek for arrest warrant from a court/AGF. the AGF should then assign arrest warrant to innoson after going through the charges.
and if the charges don't deserve arrest it will be trash by the court.
and instead advise they send him court letter.

the fact innoson is not a criminal and doesn't pose any threat to the public, what the EFCC should have done is to present the arrest warrant to innoson. having go through the validation of the warrant by then innoson can decide to follow them.

as it stand there are no arrest warrant as the AGF just confirm that he was not aware. the case will cost the EFCC big shame.

"An arrest warrant is an official document, signed by a judge (or magistrate), which authorizes a police officer to arrest the person or people named in the warrant. Warrants typically identify the crime for which an arrest has been authorized, and may restrict the manner in which an arrest may be made."

Not totally true.

The Police or EFFC can arrest anyone without a warrant, but they must charge that individual to court within 48hrs or release them.

If they intend keeping that individual beyond 48rs without officially charging them, they must ask the leave of a competent court to do so.

You must be mixing search warrant with arrest warrant.

Ehiscotch:
LMAO. So some individuals' statuses in society have to be considered. So you mean they should get special treatment?
Innoson is an industrialist and should be treated differently?

It is not really special treat; the arresting agency have to look at the liabilities they will be exposed to, should they make a mistake and higher the status of that individual is in society, the greater the liability and the more likelihood that the oga at the top will be negatively be affected should their be a blowback, it is important to keep them in the loop.

It is the same thing in the corporate world and in society....banks assign their bigger customers to well polished representative.

As you can see the AG is been asked about this arrest and he has to respond, if they had arrested Mr. Nobody from the village, the likelihood of the AG been questioned about it is zero to none and in such arrest, the arresting agency need not inform him.

Was I the only thinking they wrote ‘Scam Man Award.....’?

felixomor:
Not true.
Paul said they should give "according to how they were prospered."
It was an instruction of reflective percentage.
And it was even weekly, for that matter

Definitely, it must have been even bigger than ten percent for many.






Read it properly again.
It was an instruction of how give according to how yoi were prospered.

The church Putting it today at ten percent monthly (not even weekly) is mild.

according to how they were prospered."

Does not make it tithe, there is no measurement of that prosperity and it was relative and subjective measure and only the giver decides what that measure is or will be.....some of equal income could decide that measure to be e.g. $1, others, it could be $5...

there is no central standard to measure it by and those figures can change from week to week, even when income has not changed; others may not give at all...if you read Paul’s epistles you will see example of those who did not give and he did indicate anywhere that they will be cursed...this is free will offering..Paul’s suggestions were to gather these every Sunday.

Tithing on the other hand was strict, it must be 10% and must be paid to the Priest....not every year, but every three years of each seven year cycle...and it must be paid to Levites and Levites alone.

Abramham, Jacob, David, etc despite been Old Testament Men after God’s own heart did not tithe regularly or even out of necessity...otherwise, there would have been no need for them to make vow to God that, they will tithe if God deliver them or give them certain victory...these were rich men of immense means and would have been tithing already regardless of any victory or deliverance.

The fact that they put their tithe on condition, means that, they were not regular tithers and God still blessed them immensely.

mikky4764:
giving to the poor is one thing and tithe is another thing, we can't compromise either

It’s time to hit the Bible, God commanded those who paid tithes in the Old Testament to give their tithes to the poor.

They were only to pay tithes to the church aka Priest/Levites every 3rd year of each 7 year circle. Years 1,2,4,5&6; they were to share their tithes with their family, the poor, widows and strangers. Year 7, is the year of Jubilee and there was no tithing.

If you can find these in your Bible, a little google search will point you to the right passages or hit me back and I will give you the reference.

felixomor:
1Cor 16 :1 Now concerning the collection for the saints , as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

16:3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

-------------------
1Cor 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

9:12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel .


Shalom!

All your quotations are about free will offerings, no one is disputing the fact that Christians are ask to pay offerings and support their ministers.

What you don’t see in there is any of the early Christians paying or preaching or collecting tithe and that is the bone of contention.

I hope you know the difference between tithe and offering?

I have not made up my mind to write anything on here either.

OP, please note that I did not comment or post anything yet..

OP delete this nonsense, there is no scriptural bases for it. Those are just your interpretation of those verses, none of those bible verses reached the conclusion that you reached.

Jesus addressed this very situation personally and he reached a position opposite to yours, I will stay with Jesus on this...

John 4:16-18

“16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband.

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

Going by your analogies, having slept with a minimum of six men, Jesus would have told her that, she have six husbands.

And despite the fact that, she was currently living with a man, Jesus agreed with her that she is not married.

The above is enough and I would have stopped there, but I would like to add that...if adultery and fornication is marriage, then the Bible will be contradicting itself by calling it a sin.

....because the scriptures says...”marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefy, but whoremongers and adulteries, God will Judge.

EFCC is just blowing hot air.

They don’t have the powers to grant anyone bail, only a Judge can grant bail.

They just let him walked, when they wouldn’t find anything to hold him further or charge him to court.

Bail only comes after been charged to a court with an offense, not when the prosecution is still doing pre case filing investigations.

dukie25:
So who were those protesting against him yesterday?

When did Social media start carrying placards?

Those were ‘thugs’.

youngsahito:
Is it not this same judges that release politician without any charges.

Judges don’t charge people, that is the duty of the Prosecutor aka Government.

The government can not just charge people, they must present a very strong case before a Judge for the alleged crimes. The person charged is innocent until proven guilty....so far the current had been lazy in effectively prosecuting these people in court, they are only good at media prosecution and don’t fly in court.

They walk into court and say ‘Judge you must believe me, this guy is a thief’, well that does not fly... they also commit stupid blunders because they think they are above the law and the defense team knows their money worth bounce on those technicalities and the Judge will have no choice than to release these people.

In my Opinion, the government would have commissioned an independent prosecutorial panel made of seasoned tested and true criminal prosecutors to handle these cases and not allow political appointees to run the show.

This simply means that the courts cannot intervene in the matter concerning the dress code for the bar graduation. It can be resolved within the organisation by internal mechanisms to decide what to do and follow.

But the call to bar procedures is handled by a government organisation ie the Council for Legal Education not an association like the Nigerian Bar Association which the court ruling is referring to.

The courts may intervene in this case...

Plus, since has not been called to bar yet, she is not a member of NBA, which means the above is not applicable to her case.

Though, the questions is....who set the rules regarding lawyers apparels/regalia in Nigeria? Is it the NBA or some other Act?

If it is the NBA, though the above case does not restrict her, but the other question is...can one sue a voluntary association to which he/she wants to join in order to force a rule change within the association? I think one will lack standing in this type of scenario.

Maybe, the best approach is politically and those can force NBA to relent.

Like you said, she should sue the Council for Legal Education, so she can be called to bar. But I doubt if the council can waive the legal lawyer regalia in Nigeria and she clearly stated that, her goal is to have that changed....All I think the Council can give her is another try at call to bar.

Desyner:
Nonsense!
If the acceptance of 'face mask' in NewYork justifies her action I hope people like her will understand the stance of people like bob-risky.
By the way, what or who is she hiding her face from? Will the husband killer wife in Abuja also cover her face and claim another vieled person did the crime?

The reference to New York doesn’t have any merits and it is like comparing apples with oranges.

Lawyers in the US don’t have uniform or a proscribed way of dressing even in court. No wig, no cap, no regalia, nothing....you are only require to dress professionally to respect the court and for male, a nice suite and tie is just good enough.

In Nigeria, lawyers are mandated by law to dress certain way period!

OP, where is the picture of the SARS?

Please, post it so we can do an end-run with it on social media...I am positive that, before we finish, they will be sacked.

Please post their pictures....waiting...

XX01:
They probably taught them of a particular incidence that the leader showed kindness to Africa. So the kid had to remember. It's Moral instruction so it is expected to have some subjectivity.

I understand your argument that, it may have been about a particular incident.

But, the question should also have cited that incident.

Agreed, global instructions about kindness are subjective, but the setting here is Nigeria and looking at the questions asked, I don’t see any subjective.

I like the idea that SARS was created as the hit-squad for the Nigeria Polic to tackle the menances of Armed Robbery, I believe including Kidnapping and not an investigative arm of the Police.

Now, they have been reduced to stop and search arm of the Police. The goal should be to return them to their original duty.

There should be zero reason for a SARS Officer to stop a Nigerian going about their normal day to day activities...if SARS is operating somewhere, it should be to hit a crime scene that had been called-in with a specific target and then go back into hiding in plain sight.
