alexleo: What I told you was what I experienced. I don't believe in your once saved always saved teaching that's why each time I see myself failing I do the first work which is repentance and pleading the blood for cleansing. Am not claiming that I am perfect but to tell me that when I sin I am still righteous that's where I have problem with you. You can't tell me that if I commit adultery now am still righteous. No.

CGKing: This is what u call hotel

bizmahn: yet they uphold a gospel that allows you to smoke,drink & allow all manner of vices in the hope that once you are saved grace does the rest & you have nothing more to do.End time damnable heresy.

Gsluv: Now to the topic, the reason anyone would be bothered about Grace licensing us to sin or not and then be forgiven is because there's still a crave deep down to sin. they do not understand the depth of God's love.

alexleo: I ve always disagreed with people who wants us to believe that once we are saved we cannot be regarded as sinners again even if we sin. They tell us that when someone in grace sins, it is no more counted for him. A lot of misleading teachings here that one should be careful not to fall into. These are the last days and we are warned about false prophets. Pls let's be very careful and prayerful. God hates sin till eternity.

EnterPRO: the dates he mentioned are even confusing.

Katsumoto: Thanks for the offer but I don't live in Lagos and I do it for work.

You 'll actually let a stranger live in your house for free? Whats the catch?

pro01: Do you have proof that IBB stole money while in office? And Abdulsalam? And Obasanjo, and just about any other past or present political or public office holder and private sector crook still alive (apart from the convicted ones that we can count with less than five fingers)?

As long as some of you adopt this deceptive attitude of "show me proof", which is quite insulting to our collective intelligence, then Nigeria is not really ready to do away with corruption. The fact that someone is a smart thief who expertly covers his tracks does not make him any less of a thief.

pro01: I think you used the word "businessmen" too loosely. Most of them are criminals who made easy money and want to tie it down in real estate. From the shadowy drug barons in Festac Town, to the bureaucrats in Alausa, to the politicians in Abuja, to the oil industry profiteers in the Niger Delta, to the fraudulent bankers and government contractors nationwide, and all their numerous cohorts collaborators, and cronies. . . .they all have one thing in common - easy money. Easy, ill-gotten money.

This explains what Pat Utomi aptly referred to the "jobless growth economy" Nigeria seems to be experiencing. Too much ill-gotten wealth is circulating lopsidedly in the system, and sadly, these monies are not channeled towards real, value-adding investments that create jobs and stimulate trickle-down prosperity across board. Not when the preferred investment for most of the thieves I mentioned above is hotels and useless luxury real estate projects that add no value to majority of the populace.

By the way, only naive suckers would believe that foreigners or foreign conglomerates would come into Nigeria to tie down their money in Nigerian real estate. Most of the hotels, malls, luxury apartments, etc. parading themselves as foreign-owned are actually owned by shadowy Nigerian rogues - mostly politically exposed persons and their businessmen fronts (notably slimy characters like the Chagoury brothers, for Bola Tinubu). They might as well invest more in productive ventures that enhance the standard of living or quality of life of a greater number of people. If you steal from the poor in order to help the poor, your sins might be forgivable after all. But when you steal from the poor in order to intimidate and oppress the poor with your vainglorious opulence, then a time bomb is waiting to explode.

It just goes to show how selfish and contemptuous of the masses they are to keep investing in luxury sectors to satiate the already over-indulged hedonistic cravings of a mere 0.001% of wealthy Nigerians and expartriates. This country desperately needs deliverance, and I don't mean the T.B Joshua sort.

kabaka1: U know there's nothing like being in ur hotel room n look out thru ur window become enchanted by what u see thru ur window.
Also d scenery people see thru d window of their hotel rooms is one major way that they can feel d soul n spirit of d city they're in.

okpara ugo: Seriously, Nigerians are not creative people. I observe a lot of businessmen. Once they have made some money, their investments dont exceed HOTELS and FUELLING STATIONS.

digospel2: It's good but a misplaced priority. A lot of bad roads in Lagos,
Area boys in the street. We need more of goods productive industries to employ them, , large scale farming
that will reduce the cost of food stuff. Large quantity of rice Consume in Lagos are imported

specco: The looters of our common wealth are investing via some foreign partners. We are not fooled. If the money were gotten legally and through sweat they will invest properly but with easy money anything goes as we see in all the white elephant projects that dot our landscape.

tomaagy: Hmmm I'm gonna need to disagree with your intelligence sorry, I happen to be very involved in this intercontinental project (It wise, my coy supplied their hospitality solutions) it's not an ihg investment, neither are the Sheratons owned by starwood, they manage d hotels for the owners, I can reel out owners for you but I won't, it's like a contract.

By the way I've slept in all this major hotels n yea ihg Lagos is 5 star.

berem: So many high brow hotels located at the island. What happened to places like Oshodi, Ojota, Surulere etc? Do i see a disparity between the rich and poor? We need more of such hotels at the mainland too.

Nice edifice anyway!

d19553: And you think what makes a more better Administrator/Leader is the ability to have the best command of Grammar without any single error.

Maybe he can now have time to go back to school to learn or study how to speak the English Lanuage properly.
[/b]

People like you who lay more emphasis on perfect English/Grammar as the main prerequisite for a good Leadership is the real enemies of this country .
Please point out my mistakes .........Mr. Grammarian.

largeman4u: Our president is not so intelligent, but he is trying his Best. So that count against him in the Chat.
i feel so Impressed whenever Govt Fashola Speaks... i wonder why we have a president with Local Government IQ.

ITbomb: I wonder if all these GEJ haters listened to or have recordings of OBJ media chat where a president would leave a serious question and start crackin a joke . Compare to obj , gej media chat is far better

mbulela: We are more interested in making sure there is no money to steal -GEJ

tobechi20: Who says science doesnt mix with religion

wagecomet: shut ur mouth up. TY Danjuma is the reason why u have a country called Nigeria. Masterminded the killing JTU Aguiyi Ironsi without taking over power. A former COAS. A man with valour, not like ur lily-livered generation

PortHarcourtBoy: [size=20pt]

That Education Commissioner wey resemble Weird MC dey mad oh[/size]

chamotex: I dey laugh
They had 12 attempts at goal
8 corners.

Rio should retire after this match...enough is enough.

superstar1: For people that did not hold DM responsible for last weeks defeat, can u see now?

You are just seeing what we saw last week.

DM needs to up his game, he needs to realise he is no more in a mid table team.[b] He needs to ship out his assistants, they can not assist to the next level. [/b]They were good enough for a mid table team but definitely not good enough for this level. If he really wants to succeed he needs to change his bench, before going ahead to do a surgical operating on the whole team. Rio should be the. 1st casualty.

CL is not even sure for us.

coogar: the failure started from his horrible line-up. it didn't make sense at all. the horrible line up caused the horrible subs & the rest is history.

coogar: nani has taken the game by the scruff of the neck while a £250k per week player is busy stinking up the place. someone should please sell rooney in january.
