The church in itself is Nigeria's socio-economic problem.

I have more than 23 churches in my street and I have heard different kinds of funny doctrines. Some balanced, some extreme and some outrightly foolish. Instead of encouraging dignity of labour, we claim to 'tap' into other people's blessings. Instead of encouraging honest and righteous labour, we endorse criminality and dishonesty and call it unmerited favour.

I remember when Mr. Lawrence Agada of Christ Embassy stole money from Sheraton hotel and donated it to Christ's embassy, he was written a commendation letter personally signed by Mr. Chris Oyakhilome.

Go to Oregun Industrial Estate in Ikeja and see how churches have turned the factories into churches. They're saying it's spiritual revival but spiritual revival doesn't add to a nation's gdp, it only increases the pastor's networth. It doesn't provide work for unemployed members, doesn't do anything for broke members.

I think the brand of Christianity practiced in Nigeria is not what is in the Bible as commanded of us and we must tell ourselves the truth that it's doing more harm than good.

TEODIN:
Wike is Ikwerre, I meant that KalabarI was one of the strongest base for Wike... if he loose a lot of votes there it will be bad for him...if Abe can settle with Amaechi. Bro, there is fire on the mountain, another state facing this problem is Delta State, if James Ibori moves to Apc...Apc may win Delta

That's big trouble for Wike o.

The way things are going, Abe and Amaechi would settle and it would be serious problems for Wike.

As for Delta, if Ibori decamps, the only way Okowa can survive it is for him to decamp also. Cos with the nonsense Okowa has been doing in Delta, he should forget reelection.

TEODIN:
I am from Rivers and Stay in Rivers but Apc has penetrated Rivers state more with this move... The Kalabari's are 1 of the most populated tribes in Rivers State along with the Ikwerres and a strong base for Nyesom Wike...Giving them the Governorship ticket of Apc will make the elections more balanced... I know 3 people who hitherto was saying Rivers is PDP from Kalabari and are now singing Tonye Cole since yesterday... Personally, I am now even contemplating voting For Tonye Cole and I won't believe a week ago that I will consider voting an Apc candidate

Lol
Can PDP also bring someone from Kalabari?
Where is Wike from?

9 years ago, I was at a private event and Tonye Cole was there. He said he decided to stay out of politics because it usually brings bad blood among long-standing friends which he didn't need. According to him, he usually settles disputes for his friends who are politicians.

At this point, I guess he's not seeking political office, political office seeks the gentleman.

He's a thoroughly refined gentleman and very fit for the office.

If you go to the police station to report, you would be like No. 18 corolla complainant in that week alone.

Firefire:
The professional looter with sweet mouth.

This guy, stop disgracing yourself na. Even your Daddies in PDP approve of Osinbajo.

If you're doing like this before election, what would you do when PDP loses in 2019?

Xiaomi Note 5 beats S3X hands down.

You can't compare Benz to Bajaj.

Xiaomi is one of the top 3 brands in China, outselling Iphone and Samsung in some years.

In that same China, if you dare sell infinix, they can behead you for selling inferior products.

Infinix, Tecno and that calculator called iTel only sell in countries with high level of poverty, ignorance and weak consumer protection by regulators.

Since Mr. Sulaiman was exposed by Stephanie Otobo and the discovery that he bought a duplex and house for a private prostitute, his credibility has deserted him.

His comments these days has shown us his fruits which definitely are not of Christ.

Thats can be attempted robbery in disguise

Corporal Abba Kyari, Well done sir.

They've been doing this since around 2008 when I was in Ife although that particular ATM machine in White House was installed around 2010.

Ayoolajumoke:
With these set of upcoming irresponsible husbands and fathers, with the thought of divorce and property ownership after divorce even with children, I WILL NEVER marry a man without a duly conducted court wedding and well signed papers.

Since hunters have learnt to shoot without missing, birds have learnt to fly without perching.

sanpipita:
You might not fancy GEJ but enough of the childish lies, most of us were not born yesterday, Angela Merkel visited GEJ few months after his election

www.kas.de/nigeria/en/pages/10458/

Yes.

To ensure he was properly kicked out.

Sirjamo:
Baba is restoring Naija lost glory, German chancellor and British Prime Minister are coming to us within 24 hours of each other, but Obama went to Ghana and ignored Nigeria during the time of the poverty development party

When Jonathan was there, they didn't need to come see him. All they needed to do was summon him to their country and he'll come running.

No world leader came into Nigeria when GEJ was president.

I once wrote an article here on the scams by Real Estate Companies and was insulted and attacked by their marketers and company reps.

Here's the link
https://www.nairaland.com/3909920/top-scams-real-estate-companies

There is a particular estate that paid Omoniles for about 30 plots but have sold more than 400 plots to subscribers. That estate doesn't allow straightforward allocation. Money for this, money for that, drawings for this drawings for that all because you paid for land and you want to collect your land. This info was provided in confidence by a manager in that real estate company.

Go to Ibeju-Lekki. There are more than 100 estates there. How many of them do you see subscribers building?

Some of those estates are sitting on government committed land, others are sitting on land earmarked for industrial purposes. Majority are sitting on land without title of any kind and most of them are still owing the Omoniles. Meanwhile, the Omoniles are waiting for the land to appreciate before collecting everything back.

It's hell of a mess I tell you

Marriage is about trust and compromise.[s]Give everything you earn to your wife and let her manage the finances[/s].If she is a prudent woman and she is trustworthy,your wealth will grow otherwise get out of the marriage.This means that [s]if you cannot give your wife all you earn,it probably means you don't trust her [/s] and if you don't trust her, there is no reason you should be married to her.Yes my wife takes it all and as a matter of fact,i never fancied being asked by my wife for money.I am happy to work for her.

Your post simply implies that you lack financial discipline and are incapable of making sound financial decisions. Hence, you delegate financial decision making to your wife. It's not a bad thing to do and as you know your weakness and your wife covers for that.

However, you are very wrong to lump everyone in the same box. Not every woman has financial discipline like your wife and in some instances, some men have more financial discipline than you do. In instances as those, your advice becomes invalid.

In politics, legal actions have political consequences. Those supporting Ajimobi online in his mistake won't vote in Oyo state. Those who vote in Oyo state won't listen to the legal arguments in favour of Ajimobi. All they know is that Ajimobi demolished Ayefele's station and he must be paid back in his coin.

Where are those clowns praising Ajimobi that demolishing Ayefele's building 8 months before election was a right move?

Strength is is not just knowing how to strike, it also involves knowing when to strike.

spiceadole:
This is what most guys say on social media.
In reality, they do the opposite.

Most, not all.

spiceadole:
My financial status depends on who I am dealing with.

To my parents and siblings, I am independent.
To the "average,typical Nigerian man",I rather act dependent.
I once picked my bill on a date.. Dude sent me an SMS saying "You insulted me today. I asked you out on a date,you ordered an expensive wine and paid for it, to show me you don't give a damn about me. ".
That was how it ended before it even started.
My friends blamed me.

My ex left me because according to him, I was too independent. I earned only 10K less than him. My salary was more regular.
I could afford to do things for myself (shop for groceries, change my hair, buy airtime, clothes, etc) without asking him for money. And that was quite "UNFEMININE"..It made him feel he was dating a fellow man. Women were not created/meant to be independent else what would they need men for?
He later got married to an OND holder who was teaching in a private nursery school.

She became a full time housewife after the marriage.
The funny thing is :On social media, he is part of those guys who abhor dependent women but encourage women to be financially stable... Meanwhile, he dumped an independent for a dependent one who needs him for everything including drinking water.

The wife of a man who has ego can never be successful. He would always pull her down, stunt her dreams and make her lesser than him in order to massage his useless ego.

It is foolishness for you as a man to marry someone that can't take executive decisions in your absence. I'll rather marry a lady who can hold a board meeting on my behalf in my absence.

Ooni of Christians
Ooni of Muslims
Ooni of traditionalists

booqee:
Yes, they kill goats for sallah. I learnt from my Muslim friends that acceptable sacrificial animals for sallah include rams, goat, cow, camel.

True o. Just checked it out.
Tnx.

The snake swallowed a goat. Unfortunately, they don't kill goats for Sallah.

maestroferddi:
Akwa Ibom has rejected APC.

Let them bring free money.

The people will collect after all it is money made from the oil in Niger Delta.

They will feel the people during election.

Those who have voters card in Akwa Ibom are already enjoying the program. You're making noise online but you don't even have pvc.

Go and ask Fayose to explain to you how it feels like.

Some people are here on this thread insulting Buhari but they are already on the queue to collect the money. If you catch them now, they'll say 'is it not our money?

Believe Nairaland wailers at your peril. That's how they ruined GEJ.

For those wondering how this matter concerns Lere Olayinka, you need to understand that Lere is like a bush pig. He forages for food in the dirtiest places. Where filth and sleaze can be found, Lere is always there to feed.
Do you know that Lere was once one of the staunchest critics of Fayose?

He was paid his 30 pieces of silver and he promptly shut up. Now, he's trying to feed from. Segun Oni.

tiredoflife:
Since I am not quoting the constitution to u
Why do u hear 2/3 majority even in our national assembly
U think it came out from my ass
Even if 2/3 states is starring at u
U can't interpret wat u posted
Stew on
Buhari will win.
Just count the south east south south and north central out that will go to the opposition
We will see how he will win wen he will split votes with any of his opponent

What is required in the Senate is called a Quorum.

Stop disgracing yourself online. That's how you people ruined GEJ with bad advice and foolish counsel.

wirinet:
Are you on some sort of drug? what you wrote there is so incoherent that no one can decipher what you are talking about.

You people from a certain part of the county are experts in making conjectures for all other parts of the country. That was how you guys conjured up votes for Jonathan in the Middle belt and south west, claiming Jonathan will win Kaduna, Lagos, Benue, etc.

I hope you guys will not start wailing again after the 2019 elections.

Pay no mind to that comedian. This is my 10th year with this moniker and I've seen different kinds of ignorant clowns on Nairaland but that boy's case is particularly disturbing.

I don't know how someone would wear ignorance like a title.z

murmee:
MrMacJay has won the debate! A round of applause and I million Gbosas for him!

Lol

murmee:
MrMacJay, I like the way you write.

Thanks

tiredoflife:
Ur points didn't make sense .....u are the one who doesn't know anything.
Who are u to know atiku can't win four States
Keep drinking from ur pot of ignorance
2019 will shock many

Read my post and discover the quality of my submissions. Read the nonsense you typed up there.

Now, judge yourself if you are worthy of a response from me.

tiredoflife:
Nigerian elections are not won by the number of votes but by 2/3 majority

With all ur stance I thought by now u should know this

6 million votes in northwest can't make u the President
2/3 majority in all the zones is what makes u the President

Didn't you see where I asked that guy to mention 4 states in the North where Atiku would win and he couldn't mention a single one?

Learn to read before commenting.

[quote author=Tomakint, Ratello and your other Monikers post=70466629]I will educate you this last time and that would be all. You said Atiku contested in 07, 11 and 15 obviously you were not in Nigeria back then to understand that Atiku till date only emerged a Presidential aspirant under AC (a regional party from Southwest extract) in 2007 only till date and never made it through in the primaries in 2011 and 2015 for many obvious reasons. You also bluffed when you said he lost his homestate to Yaradua and Buhari in 2007, grin grin the question still comes to you, under what party did he contest on? AC, a more like a southwestern party compared to a National Party like PDP Yaradua was contesting under and another established National party, ANPP, Buhari was contesting under? Try to study your politics 101 next time before you jump into erroneous conclusion. Thank you for your time but no thanks. If Atiku emerge under a National party as PDP on October 6 at the primaries then let's wait and see how 2019 elections will pan out, enough said.[/quote]Atiku contest Presidential primaries under SDP in 1992, Abiola defeated him, Kingibe was second.

Atiku contested the Presidential election in 2007, Yar'Adua beat him.

CPC was a regional party like AC, Buhari contested under CPC in 2011 and got 12M votes. Atiku contested Presidential primaries in PDP, GEJ trounced him. Atiku didn't go past primaries.

He further contested under APC in 2015, Buhari destroyed him.

What you should ask yourself is why Buhari under CPC a regional party beat Atiku under another regional party in Atiku's home state. Buhari had 1000% of Atiku's votes.

Now, all Atiku needs is final burial. People like you are political undertakers, your job is to ensure he's politically embalmed and buried. Same thing you did to GEJ.

I want PDP to field Atiku so that he'll get befitting political burial and you'll shut up forever.

ChiefAzubuike:
As big as you are you never still ready commot your papa house.

Don't worry 2 years later you go dey cry part 2 make dem come carry go after your bobo don turn you to boxing bag.

When a lady leaves her parents' house for her husband's house, it's not out of place for her to cry. It's not that she's sad at leaving, but the memories of the time spent there and the love shown to her makes her emotional.

I really don't blame you. Judging from the way you usually post nonsense online, you must be from a home where you were never shown love and lack good parental upbringing. Even when married, your sisters would be going back to their parents to collect garri and transport money.
