He was only recommended by his Local Ordinary.

But I have noticed that it's only the rich people that are usually being recommended for this type recognition in the church.

Wait o, is Victor Umeh now Obiano's aid?

Gabrielisah5291:
please I need a specific place either teaching, office or Business office job, anyone sha, a specific school or business office. thanks

Most private schools need teachers. Just go and drop your cv to as many schools as you can. This is January a lot of people normally quit their jobs during December.

For Tutorial centers, check Iwo Road, if you're going from Gate, before Northeast local govt, there are one or two Tutorial centres there.

If you're interested in teaching job, many private schools are looking for teachers.
Also if you're staying close to Gate, check those tutorial centers along Iwo Road.

FLYFIRE:
LOL..You think he is like the man who ran from Messi's shadow & ran into Dybala's shadow

Oga, it's not issue of quoting me. Let Messi leave Barcelona first and you will see his career die.

Even Messi himself knows this fact. So he won't try it.

Lol. Once he leaves Barcelona, then his football career will be dead.

God's word was written to help believers know what they should and shouldn't do in the name of God!
The only thing wrong in idolatry is worshiping in the WRONG form. Humans were created with the inborn tendency to worship God. Satan capitalises on this to misdirect humans into doing what will annoy God and bring reproach on his holy name.
That's why God instructed the nation of Israel (the one and only nation he gave divine laws on how to please him in worship) not to copy any of the customs and traditions of the nations in their surrounding! Deuteronomy 11:32, 12:30

Birthday celebration is the custom of those pagan nations {Genesis 40:20} only God's enemies copy it from pagan nations {Matthew 14:6} you can't see any amongst God's faithful servants whether in the old or new Testament that engages in BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Before the arrival of Jesus Christ the Ecclesiaste said it's the day a man dies that's most important than the day of his birth! Ecclesiastes 7:1

To prove that he is hear to fulfill what was written before him {Matthew 5:17} Jesus' birthday was never celebrated by his parents, himself nor his followers. Jesus INSTRUCTED his followers to commemorate the day of his death NOT his birth! Luke 22:19-20

For us to know how to continue with the legacy they left behind, GOD made sure that after four Witnesses penned down the story of Jesus' life and ministry, God also made sure that another book was written called ACT OF APOSTLES According to the book the first century Christians NEVER thought of celebrating the BIRTH of Jesus!

So if anyone feels like celebrating the BIRTH of Jesus today, it's OK!
But believers IMITATING the faith of the early Christians will say "NO we are not interested!" Hebrew 13:7

God bless you!

Thank God you agreed with me that celebrating Jesus Christ's birth was not written anywhere in the Bible as a sin. Your only problem is that it was not instructed anywhere in the Bible to celebrate Jesus Christ's birth. Fine.

Now, you said birthday celebration is a pagans custom and tradition.

Bro, we're not celebrating any pagan or whatever. We're celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, God who took a human nature and laid aside His heavenly glory to live among us, who came and die for the sins of the world; The Bible says. 'God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the ministry of reconciliation . . . he made him sin for us that we may be made the righteousness of God in him' (2 Corinthians 5:19, 21).

Jesus Christ came into the world to become humanity's Savior. Without His coming humanity would not have a Savior.

Bro celebrating Jesus Christ's coming into the world to save us is not a PAGANISM. We're celebrating Jesus Christ's coming into the world. It has nothing to do with pagan, and It worth celebrating every seconds of our lives.

You don't understand what it takes for someone to leave his comfort zone and go to a place where he will suffer, and die like a criminal just to save another. Where can you find such love? Even our so called ministers of God and Pastors cannot do such for us.

Finally, Be happy that Jesus Christ came into the world to save us. Celebrate Him Bro, it's not a sin. Without His coming, we wouldn't have been saved.

I'm sorry that this will be my last reply.

Merry Christmas!

dear, it is written in the Bible that the day of death is better than the day of birth and going to the house of mourning is better than going to a party. why this passages do not discourage celebration, it's gives a context to the issue on ground.
if u must celebrate our christ birth (which we do really thank God for), why must we do it on a day that has a pagan origin and with pagan totems and unscriptural objects like the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, star etc.
if you feel something history doesn't matter, I ask u if u would still lick a candy that was gotten from a gutter even after it has been cleaned?

Does celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ on the same day 'that has a pagan origin and with pagan totems', means that we're no longer celebrating Jesus Christ but the pagan?

You guys should just stop please.

We're not celebrating pagan or whatever.

What we're celebrating is the One true God who left His comfort abode in heaven and came down to this sinful world just to save me and you. It might look ordinarily to you but dear it is not.

For the Christmas tree and star; the star on the tree was used to remember the star followed by the wise men (Matthew 2:1-12). In some cases, trees were topped by an angel to remember the angels who appeared to the shepherds on the night of Jesus' birth (Luke 2:8-14).

I'm celebrating Jesus Christ born into this world to redeem mankind not just on 25th Dec only but everyday of my life. If you're associating it with any pagan worshipping, that's your own problem.

IMASTEX:
You just clearly defined your level of maturity. I pray you develop quickly to know when to type without been rude in a common biblical debate and to also accept Christ.

You are over matured and doesn't need prayer, because you're not rude in a common biblical debate and you don't need to accept Christ.

Na your type dey boost of how you hold key to heaven's gate.

Tell me how heavy drinking and fornicating relates to celebration of the birth of our saviour Lord Jesus Christ?

Or have you seen any churches that listed heavy drinking and fornication as mode of celebrating Christmas?

Whether Christmas celebration or not, people will always drink alcohol and young ones will also fornicate.

So don't use that to justify your points.

Why didn't you mention those charities that took place in different places just because of Christmas? Oh I forgot you won't see those ones.

Biko no mention me again, I don't need any debate with your type.

If celebrating the birth of my personal saviour my Lord Jesus Christ is a sin, I will love to be committing it every seconds of the day.

IMASTEX:
The verse is neither none will you find one verse in the Bible celebrating or asking Christians to keep His birthday as a memorial, as a against the clear instructions for His death. You didn't answer my earlier direct question, was it omitted? Hence it mades it a custom & tradition thing without biblical base. Let's align with the later since we can infuse what will believe is okay. That also made the mode of celebrating it justifiable. I.e. Use of Santa Claus, heavy drinking, the other room for singles on the eve.
I had signed out quoting Paul's. To some a particular day is more important and to another everyday is same, let all be as long as it is unto the Lord.
Peace!

Oga if celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ dey pain you, go hit your head for ground so that the pain go enter you wella.

Metinoning those drinking to stupor and fornicating in the name of celebration of Christmas is out of what we're discussing. I don't think there's any church that advocate for such type of celebration.

Merry Christmas!

darkhorizon:
Chosen by who?

The Bible you read today, how did it came about? Did it fall from heaven?

IMASTEX:
Absolutely nothing is wrong but wouldn't that be doing what you weren't instructed, If the Bible is to remain the constitution. As like Moses, touch the rock he stroke it instead. The two actions were close but got punished still. Now Christ specifically recognised His death & instructed the memorial. Could He have forgotten His birth if it was important? He also mentioned the end of a thing been better than the beginning, what was He thinking? Personally, I think people are successfully replacing Christianity with custom & tradition of men. And are doing so with a specific interest. What then do you say about Christmas Carol, Santa Claus & the use of red & white as the celebration colour? If you study closely the teachings of Christ & what He holds value for, you will notice that His death marks the beginning & the end. If celebrating His birth is a Christian practice even though not instructed. Then the woman "Kings mother" that gave birth to Him should also be celebrated & idolized.
Paul once said, some consider a day special others say everyday is great. Let all be as long as it is into the Lord.
Best regards.

To you and others mentioning me, if you think that John 1:13-14 is not worth celebrating then show me where it's written in the Bible.

God taking a human flesh just to redeem us worth celebrating every single day of our lives.

Without him taking the human flesh and coming into this world, He wouldn't have died on the cross to save us. Christ's birth is worth celebrating every single second of our lives.

It doesn't matter which date it was fixed, what matters most is who we're celebrating; the Lord Jesus Christ our saviour and our redeemer, who came into this sinful world and died just to save us.
Peace!

thinkmoney:
overdo is dangerous in religion. Did Jesus ask us to celebrate is birthday? He rather actually asked us to celebrate his death! Do u know of any godly man that celebrated is birthday in the Bible? Did ur forefathers celebrate their birthdays? Don't just swallow everything thrown at u because it looks good or taste good. It's nutrition value may be at best zero if not poisonous.
'watch that ye keep standing...'

Where was it written in the Bible that celebrating someone's birth is a sin?

So celebrating that our Lord Jesus Christ took human flesh and came into this world to save us is a sin?

Jesus Christ wasn't born on the 25th of December, but 25th December was chosen to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So what's wrong with it?

Why are protestants always find joy in attacking Catholics?

Is it that they think attacking Catholics will win more members to their Pastors or what? I don't understand the philosophy behind it.

So who are Christians if Catholics are not Christians?

Haaaa! Ooooh!

BTW, is it not this same Reno that Buhari frustrated with silence when he was forming political critique?

Did he dropped political critism in order to become religious critique?

Some brain washed fellows are here already defending him.

Tụfịakwa!!

Very educative article.

I have learnt something new today on nairaland.

Lawless country.

DancingSkeleton:
I was simply expressing my opinion Mr home upbringing

Then you shouldn't have mentioned my moniker with your insults because my opinion wasn't directed to you.

Go and learn how to interact with people on social media.

And please stop mentioning my moniker.

DancingSkeleton:
Just because Messi outshone Ronaldo last season you're saying they should give the award to someone else, that shows how bitter most Ronaldo fans are.

I'm neither Messi's fan nor Ronaldo's.

But on a serious note, you lacked proper home upbringing.

You shouldn't be insulting people on social media for expressing their opinion, no matter what.

DancingSkeleton:
You're just plain stupid and bitter

On top of my opinion? Nawa o.

DancingSkeleton:
You're just plain stupid and bitter

On top

Enough of Messi and Ronaldo.

It should be given to someone else.

The same broom is almost sweeping away the entire country to an unknown planet.


Ndị ara!

Somebody should alert Mr Flavour. New baby mama just arrived.

So the problem is who will initiate such bill?

Oga the same person that initiated Death penalty for hate speech should equally initiate Death penalty for Treasury Looters.

Shameless Looters!!

Make sure you win your game tomorrow.

Nigeria is not good for this kind of business, Nigeria oppress her local business and you expect the foreign to enter?
These big manufactures are not stupid to know where is good or bad for their business, they know it and won't risk their business with a fragile country and people with low IQ even though they have big market in their continent.

The owner of Samsung have said it before that ''Manufacturing a mobile phone requires 400 components, none is available in Nigeria'' – Samsung

If Nigerian politicians make the country good for business, then their local business will grow bigger and beyond, the people you call business people in Nigeria are fraudsters, that can't survive without corruption and evil connection with the politicians.

https://www.pulse.ng/news/samsung-ceo-explains-company-will-not-manufacture-smartphone-in-nigeria-anytime-soon/f9fm4px

We're saying same thing.

ednut1:
cost of production, export and clearing no go allow

That's why I mentioned our leaders. Our political leaders won't provide enabling environment for them. That's just the problem.

Samsung can set up their manufacturing facility in Nigeria and then supplies to other Africa countries, just as their facilities in Brazil supplies Latin America. But we have leaders who are interested only in accumulating wealth for their unborn generation/lineage.

This woman should be in prison/reformation center with extra hard labor every day and together with her husband who was there when this evil act was going on in his house.
