Nonsense people!

This how we are deceived and removed our eyes from the real issues facing Nigeria....

Come back in two to five years, this same Sadiq Abubakar Lawan that can't write correct sentence, will be your Senator writing laws that you will the Queen's command of English must obey and live by...or he will be the MD or CEO of a conglomerate that, you will go begging for an entry level position!

Nonsense ingredients!

If you are a Christian and you are saying this, keep confusing yourself. Does your daughter's boyfriend have authority over her and will you allow her use his name as her surname? Also, does she being his girlfriend give her the right of ownership of his property? If yes, then you are right. But if no, keep fooling yourself. Marriage is a declaration that the man and the woman have become each other's own.

I am open to debate topics as long as we don't mix and match perspectives and the topic of debate don't get changed.

The debate here is purely from a spiritual and biblical perspective and the parameters is engagement and how the Bible sees pre-marital sex.

You did not engage any of my biblical exerts or attempt to provide biblical texts to contradict them.

Now, if you want to debate 'marital properties' use of surnames and right of ownership of property, etc I can also debate that...Those things you mentioned does not mean that, the two individual involved are even engaged or married. It depends on the laws and traditions of the place.

e.g. in many places outside Nigeria especially, married ladies still retain their father's names, does that mean they are not married based on your perception or the Bible? In the USA and in some states, there is what is called common law marriage, this type of marriage despite no engagement, no official marriage, the wife have full rights to property ownership, can change their names, if they wish, etc,....does this mean they are actually married in the eyes of the bible?

Lets keep this conversation strictly to the Bible, old and new as terms of reference. Try as much as possible to remove country related traditions, expectations, etc....Because I believe God is not a Nigerian and He is not an American and truly does not elevates one countries tradition and custom above the other.

There are even local traditions today, that 'sees' and perform marriages different, but the basic thing among them all is that, there is a relationship, there are no court weddings, no church weddings, nothing...just a two people meeting and saying that they were two before and are now one, are you saying from God's perspective, they must be committing fornication because a Pastor did not bless the union?

Can you show me from the Bible where Jesus, Peter or even Paul officiated at a wedding ceremony and declared a man and a women husband and wife? My point is, biblical there is no magic moment where a man and a women transition into husband and wife. When we see today are all made-up sold to us by the whiteman for commercial purposes.

From the Old testament, if a man sleeps with a lady, he will be forced to take her in as a wife as long as she is not engaged...and if engaged, the bible does not prohibit sex...During the time of David, newly bethrothed men are excluded from going to the war and they are sent back to be with their bethroted woman less someone else takes them.

It seems you are the type that justifies bad things because you are guilty of those things. If not, why this your question? I am not a virgin but I admit premarital sex is a sin for Christians, I do not know about other religions. Even if you as a Christian could not resist premarital sex, be honest enough to say those who resist/resisted it are right.

Marriage in itself is just a confirmation on a relationship and declaration to the world of your relationship.

It does not have any biblical spiritual connotation in the Bible, when performed in the Bible, it is usually traditional marriage with zero spiritual component.

Sin has to do with God, I don’t commit sin against God because I fail to declare something before the public.

Go back to the Old Testament where traditional marriage originated and how they practice it, throughout Deuteronomy & Leviticus, sex between a man & a woman is permitted if it will lead to marriage.

Hence in the Old Testament sex is permitted among betrothed persons and if a man have sex with an unbetrothed lady, he is forced to marry her…but if she is already betrothed, the man will be punished.

Joseph was ordered by an Angel to take Mary, Jesus’ mother in despite the fact that, they are not yet married.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom!
When you fear God you act wisely and with the guidance of the holy spirit...

You forgot the part where it say, if they didn’t receive you or hear you, you should leave them in peace.

What you guys fails to understand is that, it is the Holy Spirit that converts people, stop preaching to the choir, these people have already heard the gospel, allow the Holly Spirit to continue His work of conviction and eventual repentance.

Move to the unreached, stop wasting efforts and emerge on the reached people.

maikbanj:
How am I the problem??

Seriously, you truly need help talk to someone so they can help you deliver yourself from yourself.

Your gf is fine, it is you that have seen all these red signs and still talking about marriage that need your head re-examined.

Be ready for have all your hard earned money wasted on wanton fleeting pleasures.

Bunch of stupid fools claiming to be rugged, idiots.
One of them is even holding a bottle of beer and he didn't know it's too early for that Na only the Word Of God is early for them to hear.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.
I don't blame them, it's because the Word Of God is too cheap nowadays

You can’t force the word of God on anyone….Jesus said, if they don’t accept you or your teachings leave them alone! Today so-called Christians are unlike Christ and his disciples.

The preaching of the Gospel as directed by Christ is to the unreached, the job of the Christian is to preach the word, it is the Holy Spirit and Convicts and bring about repentance.

You are wasting your time preaching to unbelievers who have already heard the Gospel while many in the world have not gotten the opportunity to hear it.

WHY ARE PEOPLE RUNNING TO LAGOS AND NOT ANAMBRA IN SEARCH OF A GREENER PASTURE?

LET'S TEACH THEM POLITICS 101

…..And why are some people running to France for medical Check ups instead of getting those care from the world class city they tell us they have made Lagos?

From the way terrorists and bandits are running amok in Nigeria.

If the current situation is not ‘succumbing’ one wonders what it will be like if they succumb.

Biden is a sorrugate islamist. He helped to foist this calamity called Buhari on us when he was vice president


Nigeria remains a country where being a Christian is a death warrant.

There have been more Church shootings in the USA and more Christians dead by violence in the USA by a set of extremists who share the same Party Platform of the the Republican Senators who wrote the above letter & recommendation.

Each time these shootings takes place in the USA, Senator Hawley and his co-authors of the above letter don’t write to include USA on the list of Countries supporting violence against Christians, they instead offer their “thoughts and prayers” and advocate for more gun access.

Charity, they say begins at home. Let’s these Senators remove the plank in their eyes before pointing fingers.

With the way precedents and rights are being reversed in the USA with some dating back about 90 years back, in no time slavery will be ruled constitutional and inter-racial marriage and many decisions made based on the privacy and equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment will be ruled unconstitutional.

When the terrorists marched into the USA to bring it down, they will be holding a cross on one hand and the Bible on the other, with a big R on their chest to show their identity and allegiance to Senator Harley’s Republican Party, synonymous to his fist bump to the Capital Hills invaders.

BigDawsNet:
The Bible never explicitly approves of contraception

But I guess couples should make a decision before sex...

Sometimes people terminate a potential baby that may feed 10million people in the future

So according to the Bible, when does a life start?

Also, what about those who are not Christians and do not belief in the Bible, of what use is forcing them to practice what is in the Bible. Forcing people to practice the laws or keep the ten commandments is clearly what the Bible and Jesus teaches and preaches against.

OutOnBail:
Read to understand and comprehend before you start spreading falsehood!

The judgement states that the power lies on the states to determine their abortion rule and no longer the Federal. Each state decide whether abortion is legal or NOT!
Ode

Not quite though, the ruling just states that it is not a right enshrined in the constitution as reached in Roe v. Wade, therefore it is up to the legislators to decide how it goes.

So, States can step in and regulate it as some have already done, but the federal legislators can also put a federal regulation into place that becomes bidding on all States, otherwise each State will make their own regulation.

watersideboys:
The boy is just a liar. Did you look like that at 15? Taribo west

It is interesting that neither the husband nor the wife is putting up this defenses in their prepared speech before the court.

DOTian:
We always like to pretend like we don't know how things go in this country because the person at the receiving end is either not one of us or don't agree with us.

If you have had a relation with kidney problems in Nigeria, and kidney problems are very common these days, you would have known that getting a donor most times depends on how much you want to pay, if the donor is not a family member.(

Obviously this guy was promised a huge sum to donate, they got to The UK and it was noticed that his kidneys can't match with hers, which means that he has to go back to Nigeria. Aware that he might not be paid as promised because he didn't donate as agreed and not sure of a good future in Nigeria after returning, he bolted away with all sorts of sickening tales.

This is the plausible pattern of events and although Ekweremmadu is not my favorite politician, this accusations of human trafficking and organs harvesting as far as I'm concerned, all look staged to dramatize the whole story for media effects.

You are making stuff up, stop regurgitating what blogs posted.

Seek reliable news sources….the Police in their documentation clearly stated the boy made his true age known to Doctors at the Royal Hospital which made the Doctors to stop everything and contacted the Police.

Ojuntana:
Your layman argument makes a lot of sense but it is not the position of the ground norm which is the constitution. For example. The constitution expressly forbids entering into agreement with a minor. If you carry out an agreement with a minor, even if the minor entered the agreement willingly, if you use the police to arrest him for breaching the terms of the contract, be aware that the minor can actually approach the courts to void the agreement because it is against the constitution.

What the president is asking the court to do is to interpret the constitution as it concerns 84(12). It does not matter whether he signed it or not. The fact is, the constitution already states clearly that any law that is made in conflict with the constitution is null and void. What the president did by signing while having an agreement with NASS to amend that particular section was a political solution. As a matter of fact, only the SC knows what they are doing presently. The SC is the final interpreter of our laws and it does not matter whether it was signed by the president or not. I strongly suspect they are just throwing tantrums to rob the president in the muds due to some underlying issues. All this talk of the President signed it does not remove from the fact that the law is null and void.

Yes, one cannot enter into an agreement with a minor, the minor can sue because the law gives the minor standing i.e. they are below the age of consent. The same applies to entering into an agreement to injure yourself or illegal agreements.

Agreed, the constitution clearly stated that NASS cannot make any law that conflicts with the Constitution, but not all Tom Dick and Harry can walk into the Court and sue for any illegal NASS laws...You must first show standing...aka you must first prove that you are injured by that NASS law.

Buhari is an adult, does not belong to any class known to law where injury is established by law and having signed this bill cannot turn around and sue.

But, someone else can sue. A Nigerian citizen who can show that, this law injured them, will be allow to proceed to the merits of the case and wouldn't be dismissed on a technicality like Buhari's.

Ojuntana:
Why will the SC say he does not have standing simply because he signed the law? Buhari signed PIB and then sent a request for amendment to NASS and it was entertained and even passed. Is the SC by this judgement saying that particular PIB is now null and void?
Abeggi!! Tanko and his "brothers" too dey lana.

I also don't agree with you that because Malami is part of the executive, he cannot have standing. Malami does not decide for the President. As a matter of fact, Malami can tell the President to not assent to a bill and the President will choose to do otherwise. Maybe the SC is talking about his office as AG but even if that is the case, his office does not represent the president but the people. So I believe the judgement is faulty.

He does not have standing.

The SC applied what we all know is applicable in any agreement, if you sign an agreement with someone, then discover that certain terms in the agreement are not favorable to you, you can not approach a court and ask them to change the terms you now of all a sudden no longer like.

Your best option is to approach that individual to come to terms with you to renegotiate that agreement.

The Legislators and the President have to ascent to a bill before it becomes law unless the the Legislators can over ride the President's veto if he does not agree.....Having agreed and signed the bill into law and having gone back to the Legislators to renegotiate the bill and failed, he cannot now approach the court to force the Legislator's hands to do his bidding....

That is the message SC is trying to send, they are telling PMB, if you want to change the bill, go talk to the Legislators, renegotiate with them, go sit down on the table with them.

sekundosekundo:
You mean this boy is a minor?

I don’t know.

But, if you read reputable News that you can locate and are known, the boy disclosed to the Doctors at the Royal Hospital in London that he was 15 and that was what led the Doctors to stop the operations.

It is no name blogs that are saying that, the boy only reported to the Police when the hospital found him not to be a match and lied about his age in order to get asylum.

Well, I think we should be grateful and rest assured that, since this is taking place in a saner place and handled by one of the best known Police Department in world, they will get to the bottom of this.

Also our Honorable Senator have a team of lawyers representing him, and his wife have another team representing her….So, their side of the story and the boy alleged scheme will be center court at trial.

Lifestone:
So what is your point of this ranting. If Ike declared his intention, even wrote letter to the embassy to that, the UK embassy processed the request and granted the Visa, then where is the crime. Ike just only need to prove that the boy is 21years of age and show proof of consent.
You guys has made white people your demigod who can do no wrong. Forget Metropolitan Police, they don't win 100% of their cases, this will be one of those they may lose if the facts stated above are correct. Ike should get a very good lawyer, he will win this case.
But why will that boy destroy the Ikes for his ambition to Japa? That visa will be for a minimum of 6months, he can return to. Nigeria and thereafter go back to UK on his own. I believe Ike is a victim of fraud abinitio, the Doctor in Nigeria who confirmed that boy will be a good donor should be held for professional misdemeanor, he is part of this conspiracy. The boy knows he is not a good donor, he was already coached to claim to be a minor once he steps into the UK, he has probably rehearsed all this before stepping out of Nigeria, this appears to be well planned out fraud, the Ikes are the victims here.

Writing a letter to an embassy and obtaining a visa does not mean that what you are traveling for is legal.

Most human traffickings happens across international border and in majority of those cases genuine visas are obtained.

I don’t know why people think that, writing of the letter absolve anyone of anything, it could just be part of the plan….we don’t have all the details.

Only the boy and our Senator know the details of how all these went down.

Mickykarim:
IT WAS NOT AN ILLEGAL DEALINGS. THE ENTIRE EPISODE WAS DOCUMENTED IN THIS LETTER, HE SENT TO THE UK EMBASSY FOR THE BOY''S TRIP TO ENGLAND.

He stated in the letter that the boy was going to the UK as a DONOR in a heart transplant for his beleagued daughter. And, not any kind of organ HARVESTING either.

https://www.nairaland.com/7193631/parenthood-tears-desperation

I HAD EARLIER SUSPECTED THAT THE PERCEIVED "INNOCENT" BOY WAS PART OF A LARGER RING OF CONSPIRACY WITH AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE UNKNOWN TO THE Ekweremadus.

The conspiratorial nefarious group with the culpable boy must be investigated and with his co conspirators should be made to face the law.

WITH A GOOD DEFENSE TEAM. THE LETTER ABSOLVES HIM FROM THE ALLEGATION OF ORGAN HARVESTING AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND OR BOTH.

The letter does not absolve him of the allegations of attempted organ harvesting and human trafficking if the boy is 15 years old.

The boy is a minor and cannot give consent to donate his organs.

This is like taking a video evidence of an under age girl in UK or USA who told you that they are adult and even showed you an ID clearing stating that they are adult and after being satisfied with their age as adult and documented it as evidence in your video, you then went to have sex with them.

You good intentions, video evidence, the girl lying about their age will not absolve you of the crime of rape, if it was later found that the girl was under age.

Chinjo2:
The test to know if the kidney is compatible or not is not done in Nigeria. You need to undergo the test first before the real transplant is done. Same thing goes for blood donor. You don't just donate blood just like that. A sample of your blood would first be taken for screening before you are asked to donate.

Who told you the test can’t be done in Nigeria?

The UK hospital can liaison with a Nigeria based medical center to carry out the test.

philus66:
My question is, they should ask the young man in question if he was willing to sell his organ? Before accusing this people of trafficking.

Selling of one’s organ is illegal, it does not matter if you are an adult and agreed to the ‘deal’.

Organs can only be donated, yes some people ‘donates’ their organs in exchange for somethings in return, but those are done under the covers or to defer medical expenses….but you can’t come out sell it or say you bought it, that is invitation for trouble.

Ojuntana:
SC always hiding under technicalities to subvert justice.
What does Bubu and the legislature having a political arrangement to delete the section have to do with him approaching the courts for constitutional interpretation.
Corruption just full everywhere

For you to approach any court for anything you must have standing…That is the very first thing all courts checked off before looking into your case.

And to have standing, you must be ‘injured’, the Court is simply saying that having fully participated in making the law, Buhari can not turn around and claim injury from the same law he participated in birthing.

Therefore, he does not have standing. Malami is also part of the Executive branch of government who Buhari overseas and represents while birthing this new law, he does not having standing either.

okomile:
They could have done it legally.
They can get away with anything here in Nigeria but not abroad.

Miscalculation on their part.

Wish the daughter quick recovery. Kidney ailment is not a joke.

Doing it legally means going on back of a long waiting list.

I would say, they are very bold and stupid to have brought it to UK, thinking they are above the law just as they are in Nigeria.

Otherwise, many people do it with cooperating Doctors and Hospital on back alley streets in India.

https://www.thecable.ng/revealed-peter-obi-administrations-12-24m-investment-in-international-breweries-now-worth-5-38m/

This is a poor hatch job just to paint his investment bad, if you really go into the numbers, his investment appreciated.

He did not invest in dollars, dollar to Naira was N155 when he invested and it is not N604.

Try to compare Apples to Apples....

If he invested N1,955,535,247.00 in 2012 and bought 407,321,264 shares in 2012, it means he bought one share at N4.8 each.

If each shares as you stated are worth N5.5, it means there is about 15% increase in the share price.

Stop doing this nonsensical conversion to dollar and back....if we use the same logic...

If you have N155 in your back account in 2012, which was equivalent to $1, if nothing happens and you go that same bank, your N155 is only now worth $0.26.

The guy invested N1,955,535,247.00 in 2012, the total value of his investments today in N2,240,266,952....This is even going with all the figures presented here....the other question is....how are we sure it was only 407,321,264 shares that were bought in 2012? They might have bought more and the state sold some since that time and these are just the ones remaining.

BadRadio:
I am 100% correct about her cheating... my brother is out of the country for a year now... I am just about the only person that knows about it in the family, do I keep shut and continue minding my own crap, or do I burst bubbles?

Be empathetic, put yourself in your brother’s shoes.

God forbids, if someone is knacking your wife and your brother knows, will you want him to tell you or mind his business?

How will you feel if he chooses to mind his business and you later found out and also know he was aware all along?

Just be sure that what you are saying she is doing is 100% correct. Don’t go by hear-say, let it be first hand knowledge and get concrete evidence that a third and neutral person will believe.

Be your brother’s keeper and do to others what you will want them do to you.

Who is he fooling?

He ‘earns N679,000/monthly’……..after expenses, he ‘takes home less than N1.5m/monthly’. Let’s consult my calculator. These people really take Nigerians for a fool and we truly foolish bunch because we keep electing them.

Clearly, despite his deceptive attempt to be open, he left undisclosed the massive allowances and other jumbo pay they receive behind the scene.

Greatkenny2:
At this point, free and fair primaries should be conducted.. it’s obvious they can’t come to a consensus

Even if there is a consensus candidate, elections would be conducted.

Only that all or most candidates will step down for the consensus candidate and ask delegates who had committed to them to instead vote for the consensus candidate.

How can 99% of the Presidential Aspirants support a consensus candidate, when even if it is only one Aspirant didn’t support it….that will be 22/23….which is 95%.

Oga focus! Defeat your EFCC case first.
