The OP is mischievous. She was punished to death by seniors who were in charge of the college mosque. The late girl's aunt has said it, and she pleaded that this act should not be hung Christianity, but some Muslim clerics are amplifying a different narrative, pinning it on the school. Aren't there Muslim schools? Why a catholic school? Yet they were given space to worship. Can an Islamic school allow a chapel to be built in their school? In Kano?

I escaped the tragedy by a whisker. That morning, I decided to go to the office very early in the morning to beat traffic, so I was in town around 6.45, around few minutes past 7, my friend called from Lagos asking where I was. I told him I was in town already then he broke the news to me from Lagos.

Sadly, many people died and many people were left with permanent disability

This is one problem the NDC will face, allowing every disgruntled person from their previous party come into the NDC.

NDC can't stop anyone from joining. It is also late for Omoagege to contest under NDC. I think so according to the electoral laws

They subtly turn service into a transaction:

"Serve God without asking for anything, and then God will help you more."

A logic that shifts love into bargaining is spiritually manipulative.

Even in Genesis 18, Abraham’s hospitality is not presented as a calculated attempt to “attract God’s help.”

He did not know he was entertaining divine messengers. The moral force of the story is that he welcomed strangers because hospitality itself was righteous.

In Hebrews 13:2: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.”

The emphasis is not “serve so God will reward you,” but “love the stranger because this is what righteousness looks like.”

Again, a logic that subtly turns service into a transaction or shifts love into bargaining is spiritually manipulative.

The poor believer thinks: "Perhaps God has not helped me because I have not served enough for free."

What a distortion of grace!

The poor believer should know: "I give, so God must respond"; it is no longer pure devotion but religious economics.


The example of the instrumentalists is further troubling. It shows the manipulative bandwidth of the message.

To imply that a church musician who receives payment should not expect “special blessing” suggests that accepting fair compensation reduces spiritual worth.

But Scripture says plainly in 1 Timothy 5:18: “The labourer is worthy of his wages.” Paul repeats the same principle in 1 Corinthians 9:14: “The Lord ordained that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.”

Payment for labour is not evidence of lesser devotion; justice and devotion are not opposites.

One may freely choose sacrifice for love of God, but leaders must not build a theology that pressures others into unpaid labour by suggesting that asking for wages forfeits divine favour.

That easily becomes spiritual coercion disguised as piety.


If a brother is an instrumentalist, singer, or any minister of skill, the church should not merely consume his gift and then preach to him about heavenly blessings.

The church should ask: how do we support this person’s life, growth, and calling?

That may mean honorarium, transport, equipment, studio support, training, or helping create opportunities.

That is far closer to Christian justice than simply saying, “if you ask for payment, don’t expect God’s blessing.”

Leaders should never weaponise that sacrifice to excuse institutional neglect.

If a pastor says to an instrumentalist or cleaner, "do not expect a special blessing from God,” the same logic should also be applied to pastors who strongly insist on tithes, offerings, first fruits, and financial giving from members as proof of faithfulness.

If unpaid service is the mark of true devotion, should that principle not first apply to those who teach it?

An instrumentalist should ideally not let money alone govern service, because ministry is not mere commerce.

But the church also must not use “ministry” as an excuse for exploitation.

The minister should serve with a willing heart, and the church should support with a willing hand. Neither should exploit the other.

Once either side turns service into control, whether by greed or by guilt, the spirit of the gospel is already being lost.

May God's love remain with the Church.

Thanks for this. They keep on pushing back God's sovereignty over all. Not all story will end like Job's. Paul who was beheaded or Stephen who was stoned to death did not serve God? I guess they didn't and the reason they couldn't attract God's help.

Nonsense.

My daily pocket money in Form 1 and 2 was just 50 kobo. That was a luxury for a day student back in the day. I once bought two and half packs of Nico Sweet for just 50 kobo. Condense carnation milk was just 25 kobo. Berec battery was and 15kobo per pair.

Please what is the will of the people concerning electoral amendment?

If you don't know, you don't know. Don't be pretentious about it.

When Nigerians are ready for good governance, they will be ready. See how people's representatives think they can just decide against the will of the people they are representing.

Congratulations to her! She honours her roots and chooses native dress always. A very good one 👍

Very unapologetic about her dressing. Always representing her root in dressing.

Hmnnnn. Gone! So many lessons to be learned about life.

Zim women don't stress. Many Nigerian men in the UK are tilting towards Zims, RW and other African countries for wife materials

God1000:
Cameroon is next, Paul Biya needs to go


But west Africa appears to be the most unstable region in Africa in terms of insecurity, bad governance and coup d'etat

It is so because Nigerian democracy is weak. Nigeria supposed to be the superpower. This is not happening because Nigerian democracy doesn't have credibility and believability.

Has Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi lost his voice. There has not been a word from him since yesterday.

Item number 6 will go a long way to solve the problem of insecurity in Nigeria

Expectedly....his second appointment made without a gainsay

Now the food is read. Plenty buffet

What is wrong with the shameless old man?

That means the terrorist will be out in about 10 to continue from where he stopped


What nonsense is this?

If there is no jailbreak. I do not want to be a prophet of doom. Why can't they just execute him?

After declaring his "depression" over the school abductions, he was spotted laughing and gisting with his APC loyalists as he boarded the Presidential jet to head to South Africa for the G20 summit.

He is not depressed a bit. Were l'okan! (d:d:m:d)

Olympics with a man jumping over a bar.

I think with light blue background!

That was Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna jumping at the commonwealth games. He later joined military after graduating from the University of Ibadan. He was involved in 1966 coup.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.
Luke 6:45
Gumi is speaking from the volume of his evil heart. His hatred towards people of other religions is obviously obvious. Take it or leave it!

Wike made a fool of himself...he can not be bullying everyone as if he is above the constitution.

Wike made a fool of himself...you can't bully everyone... Wike is a tyrant. Well done soldier boy for standing tall

The LP and their Obidients supporters are just too desperate.

Even when the Sahara are just unreliable, they still decided to swallow whatever they released hook line and sinker

It does happen often. I have experienced it countless time and unfortunately, I do not know how to speak Hausa language

You are delusional, Primate Vann. You are surely delusional except you have removed Romans 1:24-28 from the Bible

See democrats see progressives tuhe! Nigerian democracy is sinking in the hands of the prentencious democrat, shior !

We have no need for the electoral value of an individual if our electoral system is working.
