Who's talking about Abraham being a Christian? And you claim to be one, wow. I see why we have so many doing and practicing all sorts that other sects then start grouping them with Christian. Abraham was father of faith, he believed in God and acted on what was needed at the time. One word i have for you seek the true God and get his enlightenment, please stop the mention. Am done saying all these that makes me feel awful. How can we be even having talk of such, am tempted to say are you even a human at all let alone claiming to be a Christian? Repent of such perversed mindset.

That you "feel awful" talking about the ancient bible practices of the father of faith, hints at feeble mindedness burying its head in the sands of religiosity out of fear of what such talk portends to held Christian doctrines of today.

Freedom from mental slavery is the hardest to achieve because having an inquisitive mindset may at times seem perverse.

holyfather:
Be silly for a good reason, if you have to.
Abraham married her as a pagan, before he met God.

That shows how knowledgeable you are as a Christian of Bible history. so the descents of Noah were pagans?

tosinjay:
Am saying something very simple and blunt, you're ignorant of the bible. Would you just pick things from the bible and not apply adequate wisdom, haba? Forget it abeg I've already answered you before. Are you a Christian?

hahahahhahahaha

you are the one that failed to apply wisdom in your argument.

Abraham lived how many thousands of years ago, do you think they reasoned the way we do today?

BTW Abraham was not a "Christian," so his religious belief and practices would definitely differ from ours.

Yes, i am a "Christian," depending on your definition.

Realfiness:
Oga don't claim you knw bible when you clearly don't, those practices were later abolished. Go and read Bible very well

Ok, later abolished by who?
can you reference the portion, pls.

there is no point throwing tantrums, i am ready to learn from you.

tosinjay:
Ok, you said it. Your own dictionary but not God's. And where did you get the story about Ishmael from, no mumu wey you fit cook story give and im go chop am na, it's an abomination to marry your own sister, kilode? Ma wah ooo, so like you dey now you dey eye your mama sister pikin oo, if another story like the above occur again we know you already sounded it. You're talking about Egypt, well i don't know whatever your belief is but Egypt has nothing to do with Biblical morals. Except for the seed of Abraham all other nations in that time were abominable to God as they all served idols.

Irrespective of your belief, you can't wish away the fact that Abraham married his father's daughter.

That is from the Bible.

And if Abraham, possessor of heaven and earth, did it, then it was a noble thing to do.

@ bolded, If God blessed Abraham exceedingly for marrying his father's daughter, what then are you saying?

tosinjay:
Sorry what's your point? If you're a Christian you'll understand that historical issue of Abraham not able to marry from abominable tribe hence he had to marry his sister at the time. Are you saying the bible permits it now?

No, my Dictionary permits it.

That was the practice from the beginning of civilization, even before Egypt.

As a prince in Egypt, you can't lay claim to the throne except your mother was a sister, half sister or cousin to the Pharaoh (your father).

That was why Ishmael was denied inheritance because his mother was not a half sister or cousin to his father (Abraham).

BTW, if other tribes were abominable, what happened to other families of his (Abraham) tribe with no close blood ties?

sonnie10:
Because hausa/ Fulani are majority in NASS. Such bill will pass first reading.

No bill is needed again it was already passed, it's for them to write the Executive and the FAAC stating the new % they want effective.

...But trust Nigerians, PMS latest price band is 135-145, every body settled for the maximum price, but for derivation payment they settled for the minimum % .

Na wa for the boy sef, at that age?

Certain cultural Practices are archaic no doubt, but to all those trying to "regionalize" the marrying of ones cousins, step- and half siblings, know that it was a Biblical practice.


Hahahahahaha

I wish I can see the expression on the faces of some Christians.

In-cest was an "honoured" thing, for Abraham the great patriarch was a practitioner.

he said, "I'll be your bridge over troubled waters".

she replied, "proof it".

This is just rehearsal.

medpren:
Ok..fine...good. Now that buhari the sherrifat have sent 30 soldiers. No more bombs on oil platforms. The struggle for resources control and other issues in the Niger-delta have come to end!
Buhari is the wisest Sherrifat on earth!

@bolded, is that what all these bombings are about? Naaaa

Why resort to this crude and barbaric method, When the NASS is there?

The issue of resources control was resolved that a MINIMUM of 13% derivation be paid, why has the NASS not done anything to increase it after so many years at that level?

Why is Delta people always blowing up pipelines to show their anger towards the FG, na only them get oil for Niger Delta?

Why can't they burn the houses of their political leaders for failure to account for the use their share of 13% derivation was put to?

Na wa ooo

Look at you, Professor of Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, Medicine, International Relations, Military Intelligence .... only you?

Jack of All Trade.

PMB has a battalion of Ministers, SAs, CBN economists, etc to work with, all he has to do is synergize.

debbie:

8. Reduce beer and other alcoholic beverages consumption.

abbey621:
The mistake a lot of you make is the assumption that obesity is caused just by physical factors, this is absolutely incorrect! Genetics and emotional imbalances are also factors. For an emotional eater, no amount of home remedies will work and for the obesity brought on by genetics, it could lead to a life of being miserable as such a person must spend their entire life staying away from the simple things we enjoy in life.E.g- try eating only vegetables or going vegan all your life in the Nigerian setting,no jollof,amala or even bread

SMH.
Do you know what you are talking about?
Jollof?
Amala?
Bread?

Those are plant based foods, not animal.
You can replace Meat with soy chum.

BushidoBlue:
One would have thought that you would have asked why the devaluation and subsidy removal at the same time. What a one year gift to Nigerians by this administration.

Since I have asked mine, it doesn't make asking yours mutually exclusive.

Does it mean because there were SURE-P buses running in Lagos, it justifies that palliative was provided?

Was the palliative meant only for Lagos?

Subsidy was a palliative.

To those advocating for palliatives, for how long?

Bad planning by the management,tomatoes can be harvested under three months. With irrigation,it will be an all year crop

Did you read the post to the end?

The tomato processing factory boss, however, said production would commence during the next irrigation season, emphasising that the company had the capacity to process 120 tonnes of fresh tomatoes per day at full capacity.

The question should be are they (farmers) doing enough to avoid a re-occurrence of the infestation.

stagger:
At least Buhari did something Jonathan did not do: buy off the unions before making such announcements.

Yes, he sure bought them over with sincerity, trust and political will to do the talk.

He bought me over long before now.

Segadem:
Where is occupy Nigeria?
Why is it that South West is the determinant of major things that happen in Nigeria? I said if southwest do not support the protest, if any other region go ahead, FG will not take them serious

Hahahahahahaha

Nigeria is already occupied, with (wo)men who are ready and are backing up their words with actions for a better tomorrow.

Sensible people always know/recognize the truth once confronted with it.

The only place still unoccupied is the Lagoon.

there is one analyst whose stand on this fuel subsidy removal is yet to be known: TonyeBarcanista

...Been there, done that.

Dating a co-worker is walking a high tight rope: very exhilarating and dangerous at the same time.

It will make small your work and time....so be very careful learn from this illustration :Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis .Men at 60 play golf . have you noticed that as you get older,your balls get smaller.

... and harder.

Standing5:
it is hard to get those reduction in real life. Lots of phony marketers out there . . .

That may be true, but look for the LED type. that is what i am using, very efficient and resistant to low voltage fluctuations.

Inasmuch as I feel the bite of the PMS price hike, the way to the promise land is a one-way-single-Lane road, no one should expect to see a U-turn.

I thank God for our present leaders that are courageous enough to make the difficulty decisions for a better Nigeria.

Also it is time to ditch 100w bulb that can be replace by a 40w energy saving bulb.

Why not make it 5w or 10w?

She has seen the "light": that the party is more fun in the nu.de than in choir robe.

When Moses promised the Israelites a land flowing with milk and honey (change), did he mention the hardship of Sinai wilderness (hike in PMS price as a result of deregulation of oil sector) as part of the package?

PMB didn't tell us change from "stealing is not corruption", cabal controlled subsidy, would come with a price....
...but as for me and my house I rather face the wilderness of #145/l of PMS for a better tomorrow for my children than head back across the Red Sea, for he that looketh back is lost.

After all most of those that left for the promised land never saw or entered it.

#whynotsubsidyremoval for a change.

playtheblues:
When the official price is N145 it is only NNPC, Total and few other stations that will sell it at that rate.

Other stations will sell for more than N220.

Don't say that I didn't warn you.

Try and update on the issue.

<= 145 for independent marketers
<= 135 for NNPC

In Defence Of Deregulation: A Correlation Between The Price Of SIM
Card And PMS
I bought my SIM card with number 08033440773 for 30,000
NAIRA. I made calls 70/per minute, whether it was 25 seconds or
60 seconds. Then MTN held sway.
Glo came. Econet came. Other Telecom companies came. All of a
sudden, the price of SIM cards crashed to 3000 and 1000 NAIRA
and then nothing! The telecom companies started begging us to
pick up their SIM cards for free.
And now, I don't even know what MTN charges for a minute's call
again. It's something I take for granted. But in 2004, I always
checked my account balance to see how many minute's call my
airtime could sustain. I do not have that worry today.
Competition in the sector has driven down the cost of everything. If
my MTN line misbehaves, I buy airtime on my Glo network and
make calls from there. There were times when MTN gave me
bonuses whenever I had dropped their SIM for other networks just
to woo me back.
Occasionally, MTN will role incentives, promos and packages to
reward my loyalty. Other telecom companies do the same. The
endpoint is always to keep their customers happy and hooked to
their brands and services.
All that happened because President Obasanjo deregulated the
sector. It appeared a crazy idea when he did it, in fact, the cost we
borne was humungous. But all that has eased out to usher in an
era of choice that comes with comparative ease today.
If you support the government's deregulation of the petroleum
sector, though initially things will be tough, but ultimately, it will
bring happiness just as we experienced in the telecom sector.
Have you ever imagined a situation where independent marketers
will fall over their necks just to have you buy fuel in their stations?
And then, you, the buyer, will make your yanga whether to buy in
station A or B, if their price, quality and quantity is right.
That time will come, and sooner than we expect. So let's endure
the pain of deregulation to enjoy the gain that is sure to come. We
cannot afford to continue enriching few pockets against million of
Nigerians.
There's no better time than these period. Support Deregulation in
the downstream sector for the benefit of all.

A carton of Orijin + 50 litres of PMS for you.

Charly68:
This actress is senile calling his grandpa an uneducated man. Uneducated he govern the nation as a military leader & now got voted for by Nigerians..what type of brain do you have ? Educated illiterate you are indeed .

You dey mind her, as educated an actress as she is, how many movies she acted has won awards?

Most people commenting don't care to read the details surrounding this price review.

I have heard Ibe Kachikwu speak on this and believe he knows what he is doing, and the political will to achieve same is not lacking in this administration.

kindworld:
I can't comprehend or understand your post.

Hahaaaahaa

Use substitution method to decode the comprehension.
