bunto: Very true! They hardly support each other yet the people that support them are constantly insulted. I think Igbos are on a self destruct mission.
One thing I've come to understand is that igbos are either under a curse due to their past evils (karma being on point)
bunto: Very true! They hardly support each other yet the people that support them are constantly insulted. I think Igbos are on a self destruct mission.
Even they know among themselves that they are too proud and self-centred to support each other.
The only time they support one another is to destroy others just like IPOB.
Righteousness89: That's Philips Airline.. Thats the same manner Philip was transported from Gaza to Azotus after he Finished Ministering to the Ethiopian Enuch in Acts 8:26-40
JESUS Christ! The same , yesterday , today and Forever.. I Have seen GOD do incredible unbelievable things so this does not come as a Suprise.. With GOD, ALL things are Possible... The BIBLE is not a Story Book! You Believe or you don't Believe is irrelevant..
We Live in a Generation of Folks who only Profess GOD in mouth! They don't Believe what they Profess! That's why Devil ransacks their destinies anyhow...
I am one who Believes GOD with my Last Breath! I Have seen First the Wonder acts of God! I Have also Had a taste of Mysteries I Have seen a woman whose womb was Removed and shown to her and her husband. The same woman after the acts of God had a new womb Miraculously and has over 3 kids today..
I Have seen a Woman whose Private organ was sealed! Her parents disowned her because of the shame!That's how she was born! After an Encounter with GOD of Chosen! She is Happily Married today with 2 kids or thereabout.
I Have seen a Woman who was carried from st Nicholas hospital to the Church! Her case was too bad. She was like a decayed human . After Prayers, she slept off , only to wake up and see that Physical stitches were seen on her body after a divine operation and that's how she became whole.
My own Wife Had a terrible Bleeding Problem. I called on this Same God of Chosen . My wife Visited her in the Dream. The Angels open her up and brought our various things from her body that filled a basin. After that, that was the end of that Issue..
One of My Wife's cousin a young Medical Student and a Muslim. He had an accident and the brain landed on the road. The guy Kolo! The senses where Gone. He was just there in the Hospital looking up with no sense! Few days/ months I had shared a calendar which I had lifted up for Prayers in church to Them.When I was told, I told my inlaw to take the Calendar that I had Given to him to the hospital and lay on the head of the young doctor.. Either the same day or the next day , the doctor's came to check on him. The Doctor saw a Miracle and Screamed! According to Him the guy's brain has been mended.. Everyone was shocked including the one who I sent! That was how the young medical student who is a Muslim got well! He is super sound today!
I am sorry for whoever does not Believe God. Especially those who claim to be so called Christians!
The devil will use and Useless you and Make you a Caricature
Most righteous christian of our generation, more grace to your grace sir.
Mind sharing your works cos it is not by words or by saying everyone is hell-bound except you but it is by your works that justify the faith you're professing. What have you done as a disciple of Christ?
CalvinGaye: I am not set free by righteousness, no.
Lol! YES YOU WERE We were 100% Set free by the Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ.
We are set free from the penalty of sin i.e. death and are given, instead, eternal life when we believe in Jesus Christ. That is the Salvation that has been given us.
Yes indeed! The Salvation was given to us freely BECAUSE of The Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS we have which is in Christ Jehushua. It is a Gift from The Father God.
Righteousness, the obedience of the commandments that is Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, however, is how I qualify for a place in Heaven, instead of Hell(a place prepared for all those who believe in Jesus Christ but refuse to obey Him).
Yes indeed! Our belief in the eternal and Absolute Absolving Power(from Sin) of this Righteousness is the definition of our Salvation and faith And it is the Pedestal upon which our Life and VIRTUES as Christians is based upon. Hell is off the Picture coz one in Christ is like one already in heaven.(remember when he compared us to John the Baptist) We just have to keep growing in Christly Wisdom and Glory(with the help of the Spirit, and his WORD) and seeking more of the Kingdom(which we are part of already).
Condemned? But Jesus Christ said He has not come to condemn but to save. Anyways, I hold the belief that the antidote to sin is obedience.. obedience of the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ.
Understand my perspective first! I never said God condemned Sinners! I said He Condemned the situation of "The Power of Sin having Dominion over us" haven't you seen the scripture where it said that?? It says "Sin(and it's evil powers) shall not Reign(or dominate) your mortal Lives" There is a reason why Jesus said in Revelation that Only OVERCOMERS shall join him in his kingdom. So when you are a born again(in Christ), I think that scripture should also be true in your life despite all human flaws.
The bible is an intriguing religious book but it is to be taken as just that lest it makes you another religious fanatic.
While Christians claim the Holy spirit reveals things to them, Muslims likewise revelations in their own prayers too.
Irreligious people share similar claim but is called Intuition or gut-feeling.
jesusjnr2020: One day both the waiting of both dead and living to the "soon" would be over. It only takes one day.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
If only you knew how many passionate Christians preached this before you from even the time of the early disciples (who thought the coming would be in their time) to the missionaries who evangelised across nations. One thing they all had in common is that they, just like you thought it would happen in their time.
Nut as time always tells, the world is still standing.
Perhaps at this point I need to clarify you on the fact that most religions have their idea of doomsday, the Mayans even predicted it to be 2012 but here we are still.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has even predicted that the end time would happen approximately in less than 10 years, he even had a timeline graphic session to prove it.
But just like other religions, this has always failed. God himself said he won't destroy the world.
Jesus told his disciples it would happen before they preached to the next cities but still it didnt.
At this point you should probably broaden your horizon to know that Christianity is just another religion Mong myriads.
That said, Christian's prayed and prophesied vehemently that Donald Trump would win the just concluded election but apparently Joe Biden did. Just the same way Christiabs in Nigeria prayed Nd prophesied that Buhari would lose his 2nd term election including Otedepo, but alas he won.
Apparently either God doesn't speak to these men of God or God doesn't care about politics or religion is just a sham. Your choice.
peacekante: The Governor was asked by Dele MOMODU if he is igbo and he gave a blunt reply. "I am not" . He later went on to clarify the misunderstanding about his name and also the ikwere people link to igbo.
sodiqapril: Lol....scope man..the move is just official tinubu's salary will be paid unofficially, he controls toll gate, his son controls all the signage in Lagos, his daughter controls computer village, his puppet is governor, his stooge is speaker, Lagos state House of assembly, mc oluomo is dere....what else does he need? In fela's voice one day go be one day for those wey dy steal our money for this country one day go be one day..
But if you paid this much attention to your state and your governors, maybe your state won't be such a squalor.
Lagos indigenes are not complaining, so mind your fking business, goat.
SegFault: If you know how funny and stupid this piece of rubbish you wrote sounds, you'll retract into your shell, go and tell this to an indegene of imo state, the kind of slap you'll receive would put you out of action for a month.
Pearls to swine bro, wisdom to fools. It's sounds useless to you but meaningful to anyone with sense.
doksblog: The ill-picture of embattled senator representing Imo West senatorial district and former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Anayo Okorocha whose 7.9bn account has been frozen by the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crime Commission) has finally surfaced online.
The unusual picture of the current seating senator blazed the social media last weekend and both his supporters and critics are wondering if the owner of Rochas Foundation, Rochas Okorocha is battling ............
You're beginning to sound like that low life you call your hero, Kanu. How does this picture depict depression or etc?
He simply dressed to recognise the culture of the Northerners he visited.
Clearly you do not know anything about diplomacy. What Okorocha is doing for the east is beyond your comprehension. You need to respect him more than you do now cos safe for him the east would still be seen as a secessionist region which only means govt would neglect your states.
Granted he is also only human and might have misappropriated govt funds but I assure you that the youth of this day will perform worse than Rochas.
Any easterner that has even an iota of sense would be a supporter of Rochas cos he understands democracy and knows it is not by destruction like Kanu but by diplomacy like Rochas is doing.
Even Donald Trump has a lot to do but adopted diplomacy with North Korea, China and the rest of the world even though he has more military power than the rest of the world.
The problem is your lot don't do research. You simply see a catchy headline by a sensational news channel with ulterior motives and jump on their news.
They have always said that if you want to hide a thing from a black man just hide it in a book cos yall don't read.
Many are so blind to see and know what is playing out! They are not after Trump! They are after you! They are after the little Freedom you feel you have.. The Antichrist and his Foot Soldiers are so Desperately desperate to Come in.. Trump has Fought an Extraordinary good Fight as a Human being..
There is No More Time!! There is No More time!!! There is No More time!!! Humble yourself before GOD and Accept JESUS Christ..
Repent and Accept JESUS Christ Now!!
One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist.
What is freedom to you is probably terror to another.
Which is why Religion has always divided the world.
ArrestWike: Lol, see foolish talk. The idiot thinks abroad is like Nigeria where soldiers will shoot anyone that comes close to him.
Wike, they will beat you up abroad and there is nothing you will do about it. In abroad, even politicians are pelted there how much more a nobody like you who won't even be recognized by any protocol.
I can only laugh at you.
E shock you!
Kanu has bitten more than he can chew on this one.
By the way IPOB is different from igbo. This should not be mistaken for a war against igbos but war against the igbo terrorist group called IPOB. IPOB even kills it's own fellow igbos who don't support their terrorism.
Chapter1vs6: Different people... Different mission
Naa Dem sabi their end goal
The Christian community believes Trump was chosen by God to restore righteousness to the US. Before his tenure, democrats especially through Obama literally turned US to the biblical Babylon. Legalising homosexuality, legalising abortion, sanctioning prayers in schools, etc.
So basically this church knows whatever happens in US affects the whole world.
immortalcrown: This generation makes so much effort to justify some unethical behaviours. This is not the major problem. The major problem is that the same society ridicules ethical norms to make the unethical behaviours more acceptable. People often say "If you want to marry, go for a woman that has a good character. Virginity does not matter".
Do not tell me to stop searching for a virgin as a wife. Stop telling me that virginity is just for a night while manners last for a lifetime. A mannerless virgin is better than a mannerless person that has been deflowered. A wise virgin is more precious than a wise person that has been deflowered. A beautiful or handsome virgin worths more than a beautiful or handsome person that has been deflowered. Bad character is not unique to virgins or non-virgins. So, what is your point?
You better tell me that some people lost their virginity under life-threatening circumstances. You better tell me that not all the persons that have lost their virginity are irresponsible. Stop sounding as if virginity is worthless. Stop sounding as if all the virgins have bad characters and all the people that have lost their own virginity have good characters. Stop using constructive statements to encourage and justify sexual immorality. If you cannot identify a virgin that has a good character, you cannot identify a deflowered person that has a good character.
If you're a virgin too then by all means it's ok to prioritize virginity in your partner. Otherwise, you're just a selfish bastard. Just saying.
Akube1z: If the youths are to lead this country in the nearest future and to have a brighter future .
Here are six importants things they should avoid now .
1) Disobedience to God's commandments and will .
2) Having excess love for money and fortunes.
3) Taking hard drugs and alcohol.
4) Having lusts and fornications .
5) Avoid Corruption .
6) We must not love the things of the world , But have the Fear and Love of God in our Hearts. And we should be humble.
As God blessings in your life increase you'll realise that your standard of living increases too.
The question becomes should you even have love of money at all since that is scripturally the root of all evil. Or how do you differentiate between love of money and excess love of money?
At the end of the day, the bible says no one is good except God. Meaning you'll have your weaknesses, just have some level of self control and fight the greed.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. note
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Verse 15 is my key verse. Will your name be found in the book of life.
Don't play light on this revelation. It will come to pass.
What qualifies your name to be there?
1. You must be born again. 2. You must live by God's word consistent with his provisions in Christ Jesus. 3. You must keep your garment clean. Be quick to repent when you fall into error. 4. You must walk in love. 5. Learn to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus with the lost.
It's not about the church you attend. It's about Jesus. Give your life to Christ now and your name will be there.
The Lake of fire is real and it is unbearable torment. Save yourself from the coming wrath of God.
Do you know that even in the bible only Jesus' name can be said to be in the book of life because no human is perfect.
Paul said "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
"And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me..."
This consolidates the fact that no one is good except God according to Jesus himself. "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.
flashlink: Exactly! Look at how apt, articulate and informed he talked; I've not heard any Nigerian legislator talk in such educated manner for over 5 months now. Every thing he said was and still is a fact, the pure truth. He is a hero agitating for a just, righteous and noble cause.
The greater the noise is, the earlier the referendum.
Apparently you're smoking the same shit he's smoking.
Learn to know the difference between fact and opinions without proofs.
[quote author=KingAzubuike post=95474928]Desmond Elliot, 46 was blasted on Twitter for referring to the Nigerian youths as "Children". Desmond who is a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing the Surulere constituency constantly called Nigerian youths "children" during a session concerning the social media regulation bill.
Desmond Elliot is clearly a chameleon acting like he is for the youth and still condemning us amongst his colleagues he worsened it by calling us children lmaoooo e no try pic.twitter.com/N0NkH6KNSK
than addressing youths as children, what he said is nothing but the truth. But yall hate the truth.
Even Nairaland had to have a ban option to regulate those who act like children here.
If you lost someone or you were a victim of the wicked lootings and destruction of private businesses and properties, you won't be supporting the youths on this issue anymore.
Should Social media be regulated? Of course. The question should be how much regulation should be made, to avoid abuse of govt's power and targeting of govt's opposition.
edoairways: It is you are ignorant or you don't know that the movie was produced before she got to big brother house. Nengi is using her fame to promote the movie
Your ignorance just had to scream out loud and expose you publicly. Did you not see where it was reported that she was signed on in October? Nollywood has messed you up so bad you don't even know you deserve quality cos you're so used to trash.
Born Rebecca Hampson, Nengi was signed to Play Network, producers of the movie, on October 10.
Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story will hit the cinemas on November 13, 2020.
The movie is a sequel to Rattlesnake, a Nollywood classic, released in 1995.
Haba when did BBN just end? This has always been the chronic problem with Nollywood. No time is spent to deliver quality work at all. BBN ended 3Oth September and this movie is already hitting cinemas 13th November So casting, shooting, editing, etc all take place in just a month??
You hear Hollywood movies in production for years before it ever gets released. I expected better from a veteran like Ramsey Nouah.
BackllGodNaija: I have a dream that Nigeria would no longer be an epitome of reproach, but be exalted and become the envy of many nations.
I have a dream that Nigeria would cease being a corrupt nation but become a nation of the righteous.
I have a dream that Nigeria would no longer be a land flowing with the blood of innocent lives but with milk and honey
I have a dream that God would not just be in the lips and mouths of Nigerians but also in their hearts.
I have a dream that Nigerians would truly repent from their wicked ways and go back to God.
I have a dream that Church leaders in the land would no longer just want to get Nigerians back into their Church buildings, but into the kingdom of God.
I have a dream that food would become so surplus in the land, that no Nigerian would have go to bed hungry because he had no food to eat.
I have a dream that healthcare services in Nigeria would not just be accessible to the rich but also to the poor who couldn't afford it.
I have a dream that Nigeria would become a safe place, where Nigerians would not be afraid to go out at night, for fear of being attacked or raped, because such criminal activities had suddenly dried up in the land.
I have a dream that all the lands in Nigeria polluted by oil spill would be cleaned up and fully restored so that it would begin produce, and give her people her best yields once more.
I have a dream that politicians would no longer be able to buy the votes of Nigerians, because they wouldn't be willing to sell their votes for money.
I have a dream that there would no longer be bloodshed in Nigeria during elections.
I have a dream that the systemic corruption in the Nigerian police force would end, and the days they didn't use to collect bribe from motorists and cab drivers would return.
I have a dream that Nigeria would become a place where someone would forget his phone or valuables in a public place, and still come back to find it where he left it intact.
I have a dream that the scourge of kidnapping in the country would end, and all those who have been kidnapped would be returned safely to their homes and loved ones.
I have a dream that in Nigeria, lecturers would no longer seek to be sorted, or to sleep with their students for them to pass their courses.
I have a dream that cheating during tests and exams in Nigeria would no longer be the norm but a rarity.
I have a dream that every Nigerian would have a shelter and roof over his head, so that no one would have to stay outside because they had no home.
I have a dream that Nigerians would begin to see themselves no longer as strangers, but as brothers and sisters who are the children of one Father (God).
I have a dream that my Nigerian dream would not just end up as a dream, but become a reality someday.
I have a Nigerian dream...
God bless Nigeria.
As Jesus sibling and Holyspirit custodian, I don't expect future thence dreams but actual visions and prophecies.
You see why all you have is religion and not relationship with God?
If he still hides his plans from you, then you're clearly still a slave and not a son.
MaxInDHouse: The point is i can engage in anything i want as a god on my own, if i am a God i don't need to fear or report to anyone. Whatever i do is part of my own experience, nobody is concerned, not even the god of Israel should be a problem Sir! So it's still the same logic my guy, Churchgoers threaten those under them, Muslims do the same and you're now trying to do the same but the point is your own group is not visible yet!
Is it not ironic then that the same God who says you should be like him does not allow you to do as you please even though he does as he pleases?
The problem is understanding. Not many have it. He did not say homosexuality isn't a sin. He's simply accommodating them just as the church is also full of fornicators, adulterers, looters, thieves, politicians, liars, and you can fill in the blanks.
