So you haven't stopped reasoning like a child.

The Bible also says we should pluck an eye that leads us to sin...

Now ask your childish question on that passage too.

Why are you mad at me? I didn't write the nonsense written in the Bible.

naomiZ:
we also refer to our dad as father,na sin too?

According to this passage...

This sounds like the nonsense that Yar'adua was spewing before he croaked.

Remember when he was being photographed on a treadmill? Where is he now..

Why do Catholics refer to priests as 'Father' when the Bible claims that Jesus said:

"Don’t call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven.
None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader."
Matt 23:9 - 10

Any logical answers?

mbatuku2:
Why couldn't God prevent the flood in the first place?

'Imaginary beings cannot prevent suffering' is the lesson that we should take away from this picture.

They only need to pay more if you insist on using imported ingredients.

There's plenty of cassava in Nigeria. You don't need to use wheat.

tbaba1234:
Nothing happens in Nigeria without Buhari's permission even if he spends the rest of his tenure in London.

The flexible forex regime has been on the cards since the budget was passed.

The same man who said that he didn't believe in devaluation. Now you're here lying that it was his plan all along.

"The Central Bank of Nigeria, last year imposed tight capital controls and pegged the naira at an official rate currently 35 per cent stronger than the black market rate, and the president has repeatedly asserted, that he would not endorse official devaluing of the naira."

For all the people crediting Buhari - is he even in the country? Did he not extend his 'holiday'?

ifenes:
They have committed no crime.

The pastor abused a 12 year-old boy. He should be in prison.

YoursGEJ:
They couldn't do this in one of the conference rooms at the national assembly? Why must they fly first class to Lagos, lodge in Eko Hotel that costs N148,000 per night and a bottle of water is N2,500? On top of the millions they collect monthly. Is this how they spend our money?

The sad thing about this is that them taking a trip to Lagos is better than what they've done in the past where they've used 'government business' or conference to fly out of the country.

At least they stayed in Nigeria and allowed some of that money that they seem so fond of wasting to stay within Nigerian borders.

A tiny consolation.

mokaflex:
who constitution Don epp?

Hopefully all of us.

The current constitution is a mess.

roomus:
the fat bloke is his eldest brother owel nwakali..he's gat one broda at man city, one at arsenal,so im mus fat na

Why did you type 'gat' instead of 'got'?

It doesn't shorten the word so what's the reason behind it?

Rossikk:
Learn what "English football culture"? Even the English have long abandoned any so called 'football culture' they had. Except for their violent fans in France of course.

The English never had a 'football culture' to speak of. They won the world cup when most of the world wasn't playing the game to any great standard. Since then they've won nothing/

jhidey08:
Even though I agree with most of ur points, I still frown at 2 of dem: Pinnick isn't our problem, infact his administration is getting it right on the issue of integrating young talents into d senior teams, they don't get to sign slave contracts anymore a they're been sensitised all the tym.
Talking about match venues, good playing pitch isn't all we need to win matches, fans play a major role in winning games, people don't watch football in the stadium as such in abuja, hence they look for a better venue.

Maybe you're right about Pinnick but from the way that he treated Keshi and the rash decision to hire Oliseh, a man who was known to cause major wahala as a player, I would suggest that he's a huge part of the problem.

Fans turn out to watch the Super Eagles in Calabar and Uyo. If they played in Port Harcourt, the fans would be there too.

Kaduna doesn't favor the players (Keshi and Enyeama complained the first time) - the last time the team went there it was a disaster, two players fell ill and you had the foolish crowd climbing on masts. Whether people realize it or not those images reinforce negative preconceptions about Nigeria that do not help any of us. Such things never happen in Calabar or Uyo and I have no doubt that the authorities in Port Harcourt would ensure that it did not happen there either.

Besides, a 50% full stadium in Abuja (capacity 60,000) is still better than a full stadium in Kaduna which has a capacity of less than 20,000.

nerodenero:
The era of '1994-2000 when Nigeria had good players beckon. The future is bright. My fear is NFF, always divided against herself!

We need to push Pinnick out of a plane with no parachute.

Then ensure that someone who cares about football and isn't there for political reasons is given the position.

Then restructure the NFF so that there is openness and transparency as to how much is received and how much is spent.

And stop playing games in Kaduna when Nigeria has a great stadium in Abuja; another in Uyo; a good venue in Port Harcourt; another in Calabar.

Finally, the NFF needs to put pressure on the Federal Government to sell the National Stadium in Lagos - it's an eye sore at the moment but it could be developed into another world class stadium. It could be the home of Nigerian football once again.

This same CBN has been wrong about almost everything for a year.

Stop being a mouth piece for Buhari and start speaking the truth.

blackprowler:
I agree with you 99.9% but my friend, na government dey impregnate all the women out there? Nigerians should please leave government alone and take responsibility for their actions and their lives. Please note that Nigeria has a fixed geographical size and can not continue to increase population because they can proportionally increase economic growth (which has been a mirage so far anyway)

Government isn't getting people pregnant and I often wonder about the sanity of the people who continue to procreate whilst crying about hardship.

But governments can create incentives for couples who have smaller families and undergo anti-fertility treatment (such as vasectomies).

Also, something has to be done about the religious groups who encourage reckless breeding habits and tell people not to use contraceptives/birth control. Such people should be recognised as enemies of progress.

Does this mean that they will stop spending millions of dollars on imported vehicles?

codemaniacs:
Yorubas are growing. If yoruba leaders/politicians had sense they would have strictly controlled and reduced migration into the SW especially Lagos.

It's not just Yorubas that are expanding in number.

I wish that Lagos was stricter about informal settlements. That would keep the numbers in Lagos down and make it easier to keep Lagos clean and orderly.

As things are you can't restrict movement within Nigeria but you can use current laws to deal with those who move to Ajegunle, Makoko et al.

Also, many of the people who live in these slums are from Togo and Benin Republic.

ki02020:
The country is growing fine,but it not translating into a meaninful development that will affect the lifes of the people

The population has doubled in size since 1991.

If you wish to see 'meaningful improvement' in the lives of the people then it the economy would need to grow at a much faster rate than the that of the population.

Either you slow down the population rate so that more can be spent on those of us who are currently here or you ramp up economic development. Ideally, a responsible government would do both.

ki02020:
Nobody is saying nigeria is not growing,what we are saying is that the pace at which the country is growing is too slow compare to the resources that exist in the country

It's growing too slowly compared to the population growth.

Even from 1999 until now Nigeria's economy has grown and did very well for at least ten of those years but the rate of population growth is out of control.

Save your money and invest in solar.

Good job OP for checking the story.

But I have to say that that's not even a proper store.

I don't know what is wrong with you people where you would want to shop there in the first place. There are much better retail options in Abuja.

Amaechi vs Ikachikwu

truthalways:
@op, but women are permitted to display such attitudes abii

Why the double standards

Do remember that a man is a human like you

What is good for the gander is good for the goose

What a woman can do, a man can do too

Shebi una want equality... This is where equality starts from

Girls like this do not want 'equality', they want preferential treatment.

Tobium1:
Acting as if everything is cool when there is a visitor in the house


I don't agree with this, a sensible man does not wash his dirty linen in public

It's usually a woman who wants to tell everyone what is happening in the home.

It's very uncouth and very unwise.

She's lucky that she isn't resident in the North.

If they don't want your money then why would you want to give them your money.

Boycott their stores and as many of their goods as you can.

If they can't make money in Nigeria then all of these Chinese restaurants, bakeries and stores will be forced to leave.

Make we hear word. What was the current state of the economy before your world celebrated left? At 57usd she was borrowing to pay salaries despite selling crude fir average of $100/barrel for more than 3 years. Off course the west will always celebrate any oe that does their biddings to make Africa grossly underdeveloped. Why do u think world bank and IMF always release statistics that never reflected on an average Nigeiran on the street.

The reason why the 'average Nigerian on the street' doesn't feel the benefit is largely the result of Nigerian cultural peculiarities.

If you see how Nigerians will waste money in churches - paying for 'Thanksgiving'; paying tithes; giving 'gifts' to pastors; 'offerings' etc then it shouldn't surprise anyone when they cry about being broke.

This on top of the ridiculous population growth - if your salary doubles but you choose to get married and have 3/4 children then chances are you will end up broke (the absolute most anyone in Nigeria need have is two, one should be the norm). Likewise, a nation whose population doubles every 25 years isn't going to be able to save any money.

This is how it should be. Patronize your own instead of importing.
