So it is actually all about sharing the money to reckless governors to continue their profligacies. Nigeria under Buhari has lost direction and moral sanity. Imagine throwing $350 million into the hand of one governor. grin Buhari is a mistake! Those who brought him upon us should be very apologetically ashamed by now. sad

Proverbs 16:25 KJV
"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

That something seems right does not make it right in the sight of GOD. Today, premarital sex seems right amongst young people, watching pornography seems right, masturbation seems right, divorce seems right, just the way homosexuality is seeming right in many countries. When many people start to practice an ill thing, many more people begin to see nothing wrong about it. This is how comedy shows and many others have found their feet in church today.

As for you and many others, it appears right. Dude, the way to eternal life hasn't been broadened to accommodate more wrongs as right. The road is still as narrow as it always has been! (Matthew 7:13-14). Only a few will find, accept and remain in that narrow path.

Yourself know that if God were to be to you how you just decribed, you will not be guiltless.

Many souls are already being won through comedy for your information.
Spare me the overblown lies, please. Nevertheless, fear the LORD, keep His commandments and have considerable respect for His holy sanctuary. GOD is not a comedian!

Not a bad idea at all if you are discerning. While the Churches leaders are to primarily give themselves to the Word and feed the sheep spiritually..Man is not entirely spirit. He has a social and physical dimension that needs to be catered for as well. The Ministers even in both Old testament times and in the new testament times recognised this and in their wisdom created departments to handle these externalities. For example, to preach to a call girl to repent from what obviously is a thing of joy and economic survival is stupendous and a huge joke. Will you feed her,clotge her and give her a commensurate standard of living and many others like her, and for how long?? If she is hit with lack and want and d negative stigma that comes with the loss of the means to ' good living' for how long will she hold out when temptations roll. So you need to empower, people, whether they be youths,or whatever to have what it takes to hold out on their own without being additional burden to the Church or other good hearted persons. Same reason why the missionaries established schools and the major games we play today.
The first role of the church is to build souls and not flesh! You build the soul with the Word, prayers and fasting! You don't build it with vain entertainment. The Kingdom is not meat and drink, it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is no joker, unless you have no idea of who He is. What New Testament departments of externalities are you talking about? Cultural dance, business seminar, sports competition or beauty pageant department?

You almost disgusted with your preposterous use of the word discerning. Every place, in the eyes of a reasonable individual, has its appropriate purpose. Would you take silly jokes to a hospital where doctors are battling to save a life? The church exists to save souls and prepare them to meet JESUS CHRIST. Through jokes? Impossible!

I wonder how one can worship GOD in Spirit and in Truth by stage comedy. All I see here is a generation that has lost reverence for the sanctuary that JESUS whipped some errant traders over because they desecrated it with activities that certainly had nothing to do with worshipping GOD. Lovemaking between a husband and a wife is no sin, but it would be an act of contempt towards GOD if they did it inside a sanctuary.

Stop holding onto to logic. GOD is a consuming fire! Fear Him!

Running a church is no joke, dude! Even if you were commissioned by satan (for free) with your soul in exchange for power and fame, you will still encounter turbulence, life-defining challenges and potentially devastating experiences. Presiding over a local church is no tea party! Get sense!

Ontarget:
2-3 kids would have been enough but I think we are already late. The population is already rising beyond capacity. 1 kid or possibly nothing would be the real saviour. Besides, its not a must to get married and have children. People need to take care of themselves first and make the planet more comfortable. That's more important.
I may not agree with you totally, but you've got a point worthy of consideration. The population explosion is alarming, whereas the economy is shrinking by the day. People give birth without proper plans for the kids. The result is that kids are thrown into harsh conditions that inevitably make a monster out of them. Crime, desperation, more poverty and misery spanning generations. I am immensely sickened by the kind of grinding poverty most Nigerian families are stuck in. Pathetic!

No sane person proposes divorce in their heart at the point of being joined with another in holy matrimony. But sometimes you find yourself in an enigmatic situation, one that defies diplomacy, tolerance, perseverance and the almighty love. Mine is, to avoid falling into this mess, you should exhaust every means to truly know whom you are picking for a lifetime walk. Divorce isn't as easy as it seems. Many do not recover emotionally even after remarrying.

Foreign Affairs › Mythbuster: What Donald Trump Didn't Say About Africa by mastermaestro(op): 4:32pm On Nov 13, 2016
Fake news sites tend to reversion their stories from comments Donald Trump did actually make
Did President-elect Donald Trump really call Africans "lazy fools"? The BBC's Dickens Olewe looks at six comments he allegedly made about Africa which are doing the rounds on the internet.

'Africans are lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and thuggery'

According to fact-checking website Snopes this claim was first posted on 25 October 2015 on Politica, a fake news website. It was later picked up by blogs and other fake and satirical news websites on the continent.
According to online magazine Slate, a 1991 book about Mr Trump by former employee John O'Donnel relates an incident where the billionaire reportedly blamed the poor performance of a black worker on laziness saying that it was a "trait in blacks".

Fake news sites have tended to bolster their stories with comments Mr Trump did actually make. So some stories are quite plausible.
In the case of this article the intention seems to be satire. The writers used made-up Trump quotes to criticise African governments. For instance, this false quote attributed to Mr Trump is apparently trying to justify his comments:
"These are people who import everything, including matchsticks. In my opinion, most of these African countries ought to be recolonised again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self governance".

'Nigerians to be deported'

A common thread with Mr Trump's trumped up quotes is that they are inspired by a generic disparaging comment he has made about one group of people, which are then reversioned by fake news sites to appeal to their local audiences.
Image caption
Most stories are reversioned to capture the attention of local audiences
In this case, the inspiration for the false story came from Mr Trump's comments about Mexicans and Muslims, which were easily reversioned to capture the attention of Nigerians.

Several websites ran stories based on these made-up quotes:
"American Billionaire and Republican Presidential Front-runner, Donald Trump, has shot a subtle warning to the Nigerian Community in the United States, after he said all Nigerians would be made to leave the country 'when he becomes President'. He made the 'threat' during a rally at Wichita, Kansas."
Both the quote and the event are fictitious.
Fact-checking site Snopes says: "Trump did not have a rally in Wichita, Kansas, as alleged by the above-quote, at any point in January 2016."

Pay legal fee for Cecil killer

The killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe last year sparked global outrage as people targeted their anger towards American dentist Walter Palmer who killed the famed lion in a hunt.
A fake story that Mr Trump had pledged to pay Mr Palmer's legal fees was shared at the time.

'Go back to Africa if you're not satisfied with America'

Mr Trump was accused of using innuendoes and name calling during his campaign. He abused, derided and disparaged many people.
Image caption
Racial tensions have come to the fore during the presidential campaign
These made-up comment were attributed to the president-elect to show that he does not approve of #BlackLivesMatter - a campaign by African-Americans to highlight deadly police shootings.
"If Black Lives Don't Matter Here Go Back to Africa.
"If I don't like the food the waitress brings me, I send it back to the kitchen. And I go eat somewhere else," the false quote by Mr Trump says.
Some of these comments fail in their imagination but have fooled many because they are written in a highly shareable way and they exploit a wide array of Mr Trump's comments which have upset many groups of people.

'Kenyans are conmen'

This quote was attributed to Mr Trump following Kenyan athletes' historic performance at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing, 2015.
Kenya topped the table for the first time, winning seven gold medals.
Image caption
A false article claimed Trump called Obama "a conman"
At the time, Mr Trump was still promoting a false narrative that US President Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan, was not born in the United States.
The article seems to take advantage of the news about Kenyan athletes' win by concocting a quote from Mr Trump about the event.
The article falsely says that Mr Trump referred to Kenyans and Mr Obama as "conmen who dope and cheat on their way to the top".

'I will lock up Mugabe and Museveni'

This false story currently being peddled by various sites has been revived from a similar piece shared in January, with a threat that Mr Trump would "lock up" the presidents of Uganda and Zimbabwe.
"I want to reiterate here before America's greatest heroes that I will not condone any dictatorial tendencies exhibited by dictators around the world, especially the two old men from Zimbabwe and Uganda," the article says.
"Their days are numbered and I am going to lock them up in prison," it adds.
This is another classic example of people concocting words and phrases to criticise African politicians and put them in the mouth of Mr Trump.
Now that he is set to be the next US president, there are likely to be lots more of these false Trumpisms so don't believe everything you read.

GOD who recommends corrective spanking as a way of resetting a child's brain knows something mankind doesn't. I would rather go with GOD'S counsel on raising a child.

Whatever you face in marriage is a result of your choice, not another's. It's your mess! You clean it up! That's why it is for better and for worse. This in essence should warn you to choose based on commonsensical rationality rather than relying on your faulty feelings which would fade off when real events start to unfold.
