DanielGb:
Why should they be call Men of God then?

You dey ask me?
No be people wey dey call them men of God you for ask?

Any man on the Spiritual path is a man of God, even those off the spiritual path are still men of God, just that they are in a "far country" and God awaits our return.

Love Machine:
OK let's compare the living standards of those countries in recession with ours.Their government don't retrench workers.They don't increase fuel price.There is no hardships among their people unlike Nigerians .

I guess you are not in touch with what is happening out side Nigeria. In Venezuela people are queuing for food supplies.
As per standard of living, no be today their standard of living being higher, no be today thing.

Ranchhoddas:
You are a graduate, working and you are contemplating suicide because your brother who has given you free accomodation is refusing to give you one of his cars... You dey mad!

Hahahaha
The guy is funny.
He is the one that is selfish, what does he do with his salary?
He is getting free accommodation and free food. Still looking for a free car? SMH

A fitting rebuttal.

There is nothing more to say.

MMM pays.

We are always quick to shout 666 as Mark of the beast (to denote evil) without any knowledge of Gematria.

Nothing is as it seems.

jasinto:
The lawyer ought to have asked for 10% of the fund as his legal fees which appears reasonable.

And also, how come $320m is 40% of $550m, Vanguard Newspaper no sabi maths again?

I was wondering if I am that dumb at maths.
40% of $550 = $220

But then it's still outrageous

Ozone2015:
we need Egbin to stabilize the system if Egbin goes out completely. I assure you there will be system collapse and it will take weeks to get us back to around 1500-2500MW.

That is not what I am saying.
from what you are saying does that mean if Egbin is down no other power plant will function putting us in darkness until Egbin is up and running?

wickedboi:
Actually Egbin is the largest gas fired plant in the country by a wide margin followed by the one at Ughelli or Sapele

youngice:
It's our base plant

So how does that justify Nigeria being in darkness if Egbin is down?

The point is no matter how big Egbin is, it is not the only power plant in Nigeria and can't be in darkness because of it.

Motivational talk is easy.

Hearing the Spirit is the hardest part, and who wants to fast for 40 days (condition oneself) to be hearing the Spirit?

She really got you by the balls.

You left out her background info, was she a made lady when you married her, from a wealthy family (inheritance), or she built a house from the feeding money you gave her?

Stepping out of organized religion is a half step, stepping out of one's ego is the full step.

Is Egbin the only power plant in Nigeria, how can he make such statement?

Nice critique, but you spoilt it by including the name of your church. It's the same tactics, church advertising.

We worship our Ego thinking it is the Creator.

The one thing that is common to all adherents of the various religions, atheist, free thinkers, etc is the Ego.

It's what makes the Christian claim he is the sole heir to the kingdom of Heaven with all the attendant counter claims.

It's what prompted this thread.

Meanwhile, we are here to master our ego and surrender same to the Creator.

Opistorincos:
We've been getting it wrong all along but we can't blame our teachers sha, they probably didnt know too

Our teachers doesn't mean the one that taught you in school, it goes back to the teacher that taught the teacher that... You.

Who changed "order" to "of"? And nobody questioned it or was the wiser? It means it was deliberately done to skew all our calculations in life, because once the order is not right, the answer can't be.

Ask yourself, why are we, 'the giant of Africa' getting it wrong in so many crucial areas of our national life?

You now know, the order we have been doing things is wrong.

Izonpikin:
Pdp sef. ..na so president dey take resign??

You dey mind them?

They don't know what else to say.

Is it only rape?
What of emotional blackmail?
What of emotional hostage taking?
What of inordinate role reversal?

There are crimes in marriage relationships that law books have no definition.

Notruthatall:
Not Christianity!. . .Catholicism!

Catholics are not Christians, right?

There's no way to explain higher spiritual truths or realities without symbolism.

No matter what you believe you can't wish away the obvious.

So it is our teachers that are the reason for our lack of /disjointed progress all along, they removed "order" from all our calculations.

Sinkills:
Tell me something. So all these so called war against corruption targeted at the immediate past regime is not for anything else but TO ENSURE THAT GEJ DOES NOT COME BACK?

Is that how you choose to interpret it?

SMH

PMB won't be there forever and his administration would be probed, so why the cry over GEJ administration being probed?

This issue is long overdue.

To "like" a comment/post is not the only emotion one can express.

It may mean NL dev has carried over the import dependent mentality of Nigerian economy, or the work load is so much that is deprives them of time for creative thinking or taking a look at suggestions.

I created a similar thread on this issue way back

Stylishly calling for "change" in a PDP controlled establishment.

I thought fighting corruption was an APC mantra.

Fadman4real:
What do you mean by programmers are recluse, does one single programmer defines the rest of us. Look nigger we might be gentle and quiet but that doesnt mean we are not anti social.

Go back and read what I wrote.

"programmers are said to be recluse"

How does that reflect my opinion of programmers?

It's like you need a little debugging.

It's not surprising, programmers are said to be recluse, probably lost touch with reality of his society.

This goes to show not all ladies trip for an elaborate proposal that took two years to plan, maybe proposing during a simple walk in the park was all she wanted (2 years earlier).

1) Sunrise Daily ( Channels TV)
2) How it's made (Discovery family)
.
.
.
9) Fatal attraction (sonymax)
10) 1000 ways to die (sonymax)

Both are achievements to boost ones ego.
None was picked on the roadside.

brandonobi:
i think even if one provides infrastructure for the church, its out of their own largesse, havin special seats seems like they are better than others.
in these situations people tend to hate those in vip seats while it could just be the church unknowingly making some people feel more important than others

That's why the Bible says that judgment will start from the church. The church has setup a structure that caters more to the ego than the Creator.

Are the VIP seats to honor the Creator or the ego of some men?

Like you rightly pointed out, others in the church may feel envious or even hate those 'VIPs', which is in contradiction of the purpose of the church to awaken spiritual desire in all men.

UndisputedBosom:
Do u mean the pastors should seat with the congregation

That would remove the anointing from the pastors, abi?

That some churches apply the principle of the Animal Farm (... Some animals are more equal than others) to some people doesn't mean the Creator sees them that way.

asuustrike2009:
He's not talking about GEJ defeat but referring to why should apc pick PMB? In this 21st century we should be talking about people that can deliver not propanganda which has landed us in this mess. Some part voted GEJ not because he was better but out of two devils they choose one. PMB wasn't the best person from the north either if at all apc followed that trend. I was disappointed not to see Ribadu in the race or even Fashola

Don't you think he is belated on that?

He should have made himself available for the position.

I voted GEJ in 2011, I have no regret voting PMB, by 2019 I will vote the best candidate in the line up.
