festwiz:You are correct, but if she put it in the public and social media, people have the right to comment. The truth is, these are just self gratifying comments, because 90% of the people commenting have girlfriends or sisters with fallen breasts and they know that, this is a fact of life. Part of the outrage by men is ego, they are mad at the girl for exposing the one thing they wish they can change about their current, girlfriend, lover or wife. They are also mad at the girl for daring to put in public what might in future become their secrets, should they be lucky and hook up with her as a boyfriend, lover or husband. Also, there is nothing more demoralizing to a Nigerian man than to hear that the nude pictures of his (or one of best male friend’s) now lover or wife was once a public information, even if it occurred before they met. |
Her makeup is beautiful. But for her; the makeups have to come off, before a better assessment can be made. On a side note; the guy that is phucking dis lady is wicked sha, can’t he just put a ring on it? |
Pay the acceptance fee and defer the Pharmacy admission. Then continue with you Med/Sug, this you are essentially killing two birds with one stone. Don’t be tricked into tackling both at the sametime, your performance on both will suffer. You would loss anything by deferring the Pharmacy, success in life and getting job is not determined by who graduated first. |
Franky826:Biometric identities be it finger print or facial recognition are always secondary, so you will be forced to define another method of unlocking your fone. |
python1:I commend his efforts, but the truth is....I don’t see the invention here. He is using a rechargeable battery and a motor or coil that turns, when energy is dissipated from the battery. |
MrMcJay:You no say for 9ja context, suing the landlord for harassment will be a waste of time. He should just ignore the guy, block his number and make sure he pays his rent on time, month to month until he moves. |
Richy4:But, sending him a txt everyday on the subject when the OP’s rent is not even due is harassment. The OP does not owe him a renewal notice if the agreement did not state that. Most agreements defaults to month-to-month contract after the initial tenure. |
kimbraa:These same pastors are aiding and betting these politicians by giving them cover and recognition in their various churches. Do you imagine that Jesus, whom these pastors are professing to follow and imitate, will have these politicians under his church or audience and never look them in the face and said: ‘woe unto thee politicians and polithieves, you plunger the public coffers and squander the nation’s resources on your selfish pursuits’ ‘woe unto thee governors, for you refuse to pay workers salaries and pensions and suppress them when they speak up, the hottest portion of hell is reserve for you’ ..... ..... ..... These pastors are suppose to be the conscience of our nation, rather they are dinning and winning Ng with the oppressors of the people, who constantly cry to God for vengeance, judgement & retribution against their oppressors. Throughout the Bible, each time the children of God are oppressed, the Men of God in those generation always rise up to rebuke those in power and the oppressors...these examples are littered in the Bible from cover to cover. But the ‘Men of God’ are made of a different kind, they list after vain glory, riches and recognitions, forsaking the reason for which they were called. |
Ruggedfitness:With $180k/annually you can live more than comfortably in the USA. The top 8% in the US earn $150k and above, and top 3.5% earn $200k and above, so she is in between those two groups. More than 50% of US income earners earn below $100k and the average income for professionals with some years of experience in the US is about $73k. |
Omarosa didn’t quit, she was fired! |
ItchingPreek:Please, list the names of Nollywood actress, who bought Gwagon after 3 movies? On your mark, set, go! 1. 2. 3. .....am still waiting. How far you done finish the list? Okay, try Wikipedia, see if you will get some hits from there...... None yet? Have you tried google, that might hold some clues. After all, they say google is a rich reservoir of knowledge, so if anything like that exist or had occur, google must know it. |
This space is for SALE! I will give it to anyone who can solve this simple integer factorization problem: Given integers n and m, is there an integer f, where 1 < f < m, such that f divides n, such that f is a small factor of n? Clue: It is an NP complete problem. |
Osezua:I watched the videos and the Pastor quoted scriptures, but did not address the issue of tithing. 1. Freeze never said, Christians should not support their churches financially. It is very clear that Christians have to give to support the work. 2. None of the passage he quoted mandated this giving and none mentioned tithe or said it must be 10%. 3. Early Christians were living a communist lifestyle, that is why they sold 100% of their possessions and lay it at the Apostles’ feet. Many cult have arisen to mimic this cult like commune living, but had failed. And I believe the Pastor is not advocating that, all his church members move in and he will start taking care of 100% of their needs. 4. Not all the churches were doing it during Paul’s day. |
Jochabed:God never told you so...stop misquoting Mal 3:8, read Mal 2:1 to know exactly who God was commanding to bring the tithes into the storehouse. Also based on the laws of tithes established by God, you only pay tithe on the third year...th lord commanded you to eat your tithe with your family in the 1st,2nd,4th and 5th year. The 7th year is the year of jubilee and no tithe is paid. The ‘Pastors’ don’t teach all these because it will not be good for their financial bottom line. |
telim:It is the same method that MMM used.., but with stronger motivation call fear.,,they simply tell them if they: Ph:Tithes, God will Gh:Blessings And if they do not: Ph:Tithes, God will Gh:Curses And some will come here and tell us, they are doing it ‘willingly and freely’ when in truth, they are afraid of the curses and conditioned themselves to doing it. If it freely, then to freely not give for a year...now you can see that, just the idea of that alone is causing some internal conflicts within you because of the anticipated repercussions, which buttresses the point that, despite what you are saying, you are not giving freely and willingly. Others will say ‘wetin concern una, na una money?’ More will say, since they have been tithing, they have not lacked anything and that they have been richly blessed with gold, money and silver beyond their imaginations, which would not have been possible without tithing. If the above three reactions sounds familiar, it is because they are...Those was the same reactions those who Ph’ed in MMM had at the onset. They came to blogs and shutdown everyone. Their guiders follow suite with screenshots confirming they are rich and are getting Gh...and employed everyone to ignore the nay sayers and to Ph more...some Guider ‘Pastors’ have done the same since the tithe brouhaha started... Some guider ‘Apostles’ said, they have increased their tithe, sorry Ph to 30%, the only difference, we were not given any screenshot, so there is no way to confirm the increased Ph...More seriously, paying tithe of 30% is a clear violation of God’s law in the Old Testament...It is the kind of disobedience that incurred God wrath on even the Israelites. God asked Moses to strike the rock once, and in his justified anger against the grumbling of the Israelites strike it twice and forbids him from seeing the promise land. Imagine Aaron ignoring the measurements God gave him and building a bigger terbanacle so that it would occupy more worshippers.or Noah ignoring the exact measurements given by God and build a bigger ark so more animals can be saved....they would not have lived to see the next day, despite their good intentions. |
Fortunehunter:Stop using Malachi 3:10 as a bases for tithing; God was not speaking to you nor the Israelites in Malachi 3:10. Dust off your Bible and read Malachi starting from chapter one, verse one and you will understand the people God sent Malachi to. To help you a little, before Mal. 3:10....let see what Mal. 2:1 said...”And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. Malachi’s message was directed at Priests and Levites, who supposed to pay tithe on the tithes they collected and have refused to do so. If tithing was so important and mandatory; Jesus would have mentioned some or even paid himself. When it comes to money, it is very ironic that Jesus never collected tithe, but paid his tax..but Pastors today, collect tithe and don’t pay taxes. Not even one of the Apostles mentioned tithes even in the pasting...that speaks volume, don’t you think so? |
cummando:Just like you, like me and like everyone else breathing today....Your comments are very juvenile. |
XXLDICK:Trump didn’t shift US embassy to Jerusalem. Quite the contrary, he signed a waiver against moving US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, just like prior US Presidents. This waiver is a necessary signing ceremony each year for each US President to essentially undermine the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, which states that US embassy must be moved to Jerusalem by 1999. Trump move is mainly political, he just recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the same thing that has been recognized in US laws since 1995. But it’s implementation has been put on hold for a bilateral UN sanctioned two states solution. So, nothing is new here and nothing will happen beyond here. It has been a bad news month for Trump in the US; his former National Security Adviser had been indicted and pleaded guilty and is cooperating with with the Muller investigation, his bank accounts have been subpoenaed, his poll numbers are the lowest for any US President, his Sons are been hauled in to testify...so, any announcement capable of sucking in much of the news cycle away from all these is a welcome one. |
BakireBulmaker:You are very myopic if you think, this is all about non-tithers. You will be surprised at the number of tithers who can’t speak for themselves but secretly nodding him ahead. Many who want to see a return to scriptural based giving, but are afraid of the ‘curse’ that will be rained on them, should they dare come into the open. These people had been giving their tithes out of fear, because their ‘Pastor’ have told them, they will be cursed if they don’t, or die or some evil will befall them. Some churches have tithe booklet and must be submitted weekly and checked off, and you wouldn’t be able to do anything in the church until your tithe is up to date. I have personally met people who borrow to pay tithe or give their whole monthly salaries in tithe each month and depend on charity and church members benevolent to live day to day. When I encountered this individual, I had to convince them not to tithe and that it is not a sin... The above is a true life story, this individual had some issue and had to borrow huge amount of money from their company cooperative society to solve the problem. They started making deduction from their monthly pay check... that deduction, couple with other government related deduction make their monthly income to fall within 10-15% of their gross income...but they have been told in their church, a big named church in Nigeria that they must pay tithe on their gross income and have faith in God to see them and that is what this individual have been doing. Their quality of life is nothing to write home about...and this individual can’t raise up against their pastor or church...they are voiceless. There many such voiceless, powerless Christians, sorry to use the word ‘zoobie’ tithers today and they had found their voice in Freeze. They don’t have the knowledge that you have, some are not even educated enough to read the Bible for themselves, they are good Christians, believe everything their Pastor tells and truly believe that they will be cursed by God if they don’t tithe, because their Pastor says so. They are emancipated, they are now perpetual fasters and have been genuinely waiting and trusting God for that financial breakthrough that their Pastor preaches will accompany their obedient giving. I have read many responses from supposed men of God to Freeze challenge to show scriptural bases, I must tell you an disappointed. Where is the Paul in them? The scripture say, Paul went into the square everyday to debate the Astrologers with the scriptures and was able to convince some. Where is the Philip in these Pastors? Philip started from the same scripture and convinced the Ethiopia Eunuch about Christ. We need a Pastor in Nigeria to rise to the task, teach the whole Nation from the same scriptures and convince us like Philip or like Paul that this is legit. Saying God convinced you that, ‘we must tithe is not enough’. Paul would had just told the Astrologers that ‘Jesus Appeared to him and show him the way’...but he did not, he engaged them with sound scriptural bases. |
They look beautiful together, I have no doubt that their babies will be cute. But, I refuse to be moved....#EndSARS. |
kamez:That passage in Malachi 3:10, is not directed to Christians nor Israelites. Malachi 2:1, clearly stated that; God sent Malachi to command the Priests. Looking at how tithe was practiced and commanded by God, you will know why none of these pastors are quoting scripture references. The whole bases of tithing was to give inheritance to the Levites, as the Lord was their inheritance. When the twelve tribes got lands and properties Levites got nothing and God said the other tribes that got properties must give His (God’s) inheritance to the Levites every third year. The others years, he commanded them to eat their tithes and use it to buy anything that their heart desires and eat with their families, the poor, strangers, etc. The tithe given to Levites were to be enjoyed by all Levites, not just the Priest who serve at the tabernacle...i.e. if you are of the tribe of Levi, you must eat from the tithe. The way it is practiced today, only the Pastor collect the tithes. If you look at the biblical practice, you will conclude that anyone serving in one form or another in the church today is a ‘Levite’ e.g. Choir, Usher, Bible School Teacher, Prayer Warrior, etc while the Pastors are the ‘Priest’...if this is done according to the law, every one of them will get a portion of the Lord’s inheritance in tithes on a regular bases. Also, Pastor owning Properties, lands, businesses, inheritance nullifies the bases of tithing; that should completely disqualify them from collecting tithes. |
ismail55:The truth is, major national parties should be publicly funded by the federal government. Asking parties to go fund themselves opens them up to be bought by a few connected rich individuals in the country and there is no way, you can fight corruption effectively like that...and it will be very difficult for the ordinary citizen to run because they wouldn’t have the necessary Godfather linkage. People whom these parties source money from today, even if they are members treat it as a business investment that must yield a return. You don’t expect someone that donates millions to party to seat idle, it is not done. He/she must get back his/her money most times 100 fold and at the detriment of the citizens. And they will not seat back and allow some unconnected ordinary citizen who have not sworn loyalty to them to come and contest. The senate can amend the INEC Act, public fund parties that meet certain size and geo-political zone presence, reduce nomination form fees, reduce influence of outside money. By publicly funding them, their activities can be better regulated. |
APC that has been moving their National Convention date since March, 2016 for obvious fears of the unknown are now mocking PDP? Oga make una organize una own convention first na...News have it that, it will no longer hold this year as earlier planned and that the new unconfirmed date is somewhere around 1st quarter 2018...we dey watch. |
I will guess that, he will not win come Election Day. |
nero2face:You dey sure? If she bi confirmed olosho, na correct ad bi that. Guys go dey call her number 24/7 for service including many more married men who would not have otherwise come in contact with her. |
This looks more like a scam....My guess is, their reference to fuel is actually ‘petrol’.. So we get it, this generator does not use petrol or gas. But, nothing can generate energy without fuel. Right in elementary Physics class, we were made to demonstrate that, there is nothing like perpetual motion machine. Plus, energy cannot be created or destroyed; you can only convert it from one form to another. Nobody is asking them to reveal their design, but reveal what you are using as fuel. Also, if this is a generator that outputs 900watts continuously and not from some energy storage like battery, 900 watts is enough to power fan, bulbs, fridge, TV. My guess is, this unit contain a battery and they consolidated energy from sources like solar, etc store it in the batteries and invert it out to power appliances and the storage capacity depletes after 48hrs. |
bro4u:What exactly are the benefits or values of R.I.P. except for the self serving and placating sense of self worth to the individual that said it? After death is judgement, everything to ensure that one leave in peace hereafter must be accomplished before one takes the last breath. A million R.I.P. thereafter will not alter the course already set in motion, except the selfish gratification to the living. |
robosky02:Stop mis-quoting the scriptures; first do as Paul instructed, 'study to show thyself approved..', do not reproduced what someone else gave you, without first cross checking their scriptural soundness. The Bible is an open book, apply yourself to studying it, especially on a subject that you think you know enough. First, Malachi was talking to the Priests who are responsible in bringing the tithe into the store store. Under the old covenant settings that Malachi was talking about, the children of Israel do not take their tithes to the store house. On the third year as God commanded, the Israelites bring their tithes to the Priests, who take it from them and take it to the store House. Try to read the whole book of Malachi, to understand it's context and who the message was for, but to help you further that... Malachi 2:1 "....And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you...” and the message from God to the Priests continues through chapter three that you have quoted above. During this time in Israel; the Priests received the tithes from the Israelite but refused to bring their tenth into the store house, so they can be used to feed the poor, fatherless, etc and also for God's burnt offering, instead they covert all the tithes received...God had to send his Prophet Malachi with a message to the priest to rebuke them and tell them they have robbed him God and they have also robbed the whole nation. He therefore commanded them to start bringing the tithes into the store house. Num 18:26 "Speak to the Levites and say to them: when you receive from the Israelites the tithes I give you as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the LORD's offering" The new testament do not ask believers to tithe, only that they give freely, willingly and cheerfully. A believer who is not tithing will not incur God's wrath, neither will one who is tithing be blessed above the one not tithing. Though, if you must tithe, which is law; it is imperative that you do it according to the law. God lay down laws on how they should be observed specifically and tithing was not left out... 1. The law commands that, you must take the tenth of your tithe and go spend it on whatever your heart desires and also on your family. (Deu.12:5-7; Deu.12:10-12; Deu.12:17-18; Deu.14:22-26). This is every month pay check. 2. Then Lord commanded that, every third month (ie every third month tithe), you should not spend this on yourself, this is the one you take to the his house of worship to the Levites or to the Priest (Deu.12:19; Deu.14:27-29; Deu.26:12-13). So, even the old testament tithing was not commanded to be paid to the Priest every month or week, it is only the third week or third month or third year, depending on how you choose to pay it. Now, some Christians may say....well they choose to pay it every month to the church...1. You should know that, by doing that, you are breaking the God's lay down rules on tithing....2. It is not Biblical or commanded of you to do that. 3. You are upsetting God’s balance by not spending that money on your family as he commanded. 4. Ironically, in your short sighted zeal to ‘’obey’’ the laws of tithing, you are at the same time disobeying them. Though, since we are in the dispensation of Grace, you will not get the wrath of God for doing that. But don't go preach that is God's commandment and any Pastor who preaches that, does not have the backing of the scriptures. So, Malachi is actually talking to Padtors and whoever collect tithes today....God is reminding them of their duties and responsibilities regarding the tithes they receives. Many Priests aka Pastors still rob God and the Nation today in tithes and offering by not following through with their commanded obligations. |
I think I will take Apostle Paul’s version; when he said; “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. There, the conditions of His supplies are: 1. His Riches in Glory. 2. Christ Jesus. Not according to your tithe. Peter was a blessed man, no record of him tithing once. If the secrets of his blessings was tithing, he would not have concealed it. Paul is another great example, in all his letters, never once mentioned it...you think he will not want his converts to get this blessings? What the New Testament preaches is free will, given cheerfully, willingly..tithe is rooted in and commanded by laws and as such it is not free will. |
dROC1:Not true, they were even very lenient and civil with her. No beating and her clothes are intact, I give kudos to them for their civility. Taking her to the police waste everyone’s time and money and contrary to what you think, the hurt to her reputation i.e. if thieves have any will be temporary and if it lasts a lifetime, stealing consequences. |
And the federal government still don’t believe they are terrorist organization. Or send Buratai and his boy scouts on khaki to go after them. |
