Oya do the maths 95-100= -5k
Is that profit or loss? What of if he won d 100k b4 winning the 95k? Oya calculate ur own 100+95 =195k Now is that a profit or a hammering?  |

Missmossy: I'd be as blunt as i can, anything associated with uncleanliness/iniquity is a sin so gambling is unarguably a sin. Stay away from it and be just in all your ways then God will crown your efforts with success  Do u know that internet can be associated with uncleanliness/iniquity? |

slap1: Yes it's a sin. How do you think the person whose loss becomes your gain would feel?
As a Christian, should your gain come from someone's loss, sadness, regret and misfortune? When you gamble, you're actually praying for someone to lose money. (E good?)
Think about it. Exodus 20 vs 17 "Do not desire another man's house; do not desire his wife, his slaves, his cattle, his donkeys, or anything else that he owns." The verse u quoted has no correlation in any way with betting! And does that also mean that banking is a sin? Cos thats what ur explanation insinuate. |

eleojo23: Some things are not spelt out as sin in the Bible but from the effect those things have on your life spiritually or physically, you can know whether it would be pleasing to God or not. It looks harmless and even enticing to go into betting (which is a form of gambling), but the problem is that you get addicted to it with time and it can take the place of God in your life because it will become your top priority.
Here is a case posted on this forum by someone last year. He says: "My friend is very addicted to football betting. He spends most of his income on sports betting and he does not win. He is so addicted to it that he can spend his last penny on it. Many times he has confided in me that he will stop it but he still goes on to try it again and lose all his money. He is always broke and does not feed well. The sports betting is destroying his life. He wishes to stop and cut his losses. But he does not know how to overcome the urge. His family and loved ones don't know he is passing through it. How can I help him stop the sports betting because it's ruining his life."
From this story, you can ask yourself: Would God be pleased with this kind of life? Would He want you to waste your resources/money like that? Would it bring glory to His name? The answer to these questions is in the negative.
Therefore, as someone who wants to have a pleasing life before God, you should not go into it. Don't say 'I will do it just once" because that once will lead to another one until you are deep in it and your case will become like that of the man in the example above who I'm sure also started with the mind that he will do it just a few times. What if the gambling was paying off and he uses the money to better his live n that of his family and also pays tithe from it, Will it b a sin then? |

bakynes: My friend Shut up, yorubas are not supporting Buhari because of Osinbajo, but because we believed in Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, we thought he was the messiah but he proved to be just like the others. We are tired of PDP rule for 16 years, it's time to try some other party to see what they have to offer. If Buhari fails to impress by 2019 we will Vote him out and Maybe try PDP again.

stronger: Hmmmm. . .
As expected, there will be many ibos who will come and insult this writer, thus totally justifying his piece.
My advice: take a second and read. Just read and maybe it will make sense to you!
I am not an ibo politics expert but I have immense respect for Ibos. I however think they need to have a serious conversation TOGETHER as a people to chart a way out of the perceived "marginalisation" they face today!
I think they largely get their strategy wrong.
(1) APC is a sort of alignment between the SW and North. If Buhari wins, won't the Ibos be systematically sidelined? But no, they put all their eggs in the PDP basket IN SPITE of the clear failure of the GEJ admin.
(2) What's the actual benefit to the ibos of a GEJ admin? if he wins, in 2019, power will shift to the north and the Ibo presidency will be postponed to 2027 at best. If the Ibos had a stake in APC (besides Okorocha), maybe they could put forward their case for a 2023 presidency. As it is now, with a GMB victory imminent, that's gone.
(3) When last did GEJ visit the SE on campaign? We can't remember!! because the ibos so EASILY sold themselves without extracting some concessions. GEJ has taken the ibos for granted (sad truth). Even mama violence doesn't even go there. Here, I think maybe Ohaneze and/or APGA could have had a conversation and worked up a strategy to HOLD THEIR endorsement for a bit. make them come to you. Make APC come to you. Make PDP come to you. make them TOAST you and extract concessions from them. Now PDP is like, yeah we have the SE, screw them. APC is lie they are even few, we don't need them, screw them!
So I think the ibos first need to purge out the Hausa/Fulani hatred, have a CONVERSATION with themselves and then with the rest of the country.
Oh well, I am not an expert at this like I said, but just my 2 cents. Obasanjo ruled for 8 yrs and wanted to add 5 more yrs to that, what did he do for the igbos? Buhari handled the ptf projects during abacha regime, what project was carried out in the SE? If Osinbajo is replaced with a middle belt person or another tribe, I bet u yorubas will not vote for gmb. So, leave the igbos alone our time is coming. Apc will also do nothing for us. |
