Why are we not promoting these brands we have in Nigeria, the way Lamborghini and Ferrari is being promoted using their foreign celebrities?


Burna boy, Davido, WizKid, Tems and Tiwa are all international stars and using these brands on their musical videos might promote these cars far beyond Africa.

Did you read the post at all?
It is already sold out in just 2 days. Meaning it is n huge demand, for now it is promoting itself. If it delivers well and proves efficient for Nigerian roads, the demands will certainly shoot up even more. Unfortunately for customers the price will invariably shoot up too. We need more competition in our local automobile industry. It's going to be so profitable.

I remember as a kid I had a serious longing to learn mechanical engineering wven if it was with our local mechanics but some how ended up studying Physics (theory only). It's good to know and follow our strong nudges.

What's the longcut to God's blessing...or better put, whats the real route to God's blessings?

Coz it seems most of these pastors are not teaching us the right thing.

Na only them dey hear from God?
Is God not the father of all?

Its not even about material possession, (which is a part of the blessings) its about a RELATIONSHIP.

There's none.

We pray in our head, and believe in our head...act with same mindset.
We are not experiencing the Biblical God.
Seems we are the ones psyching ourselves with religion of all sorts.

The summary of it all is to follow Jesus Christ and he'll make you a Fisher of men.

We tend to follow men of God which is not bad but we should only follow them as they follow Christ (the Word of God).

Jesus Christ is the one who came to die to save, redeem and restore us all into the glory of God, not the men of God. He only uses men like you and I including the men of God as ministers (vessesl) to guide and teach others to follow Him. Besides not all men of God follow Jesus Christ especially in this last days as prophecied there are more wolves in sheep's clothing and anti-Christs and false teachers/prophets.

Seek first the kingdom of God andcHis righteousness, all your needs will be added.
Trust the LORD with all your heart lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways and He will direct your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

You will begin to see God in all you do, not only "pysching" yourself, you will experience the reality of His Presence and Power.
Don't define/dictate for God how you want Him to operate in your life, just submit to His Word andHis Holy Spirit.

What's the goal of it all?

John.3.16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John.17.3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

You will love God will all your heart and soul and spirit and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.

I pray for God's Grace and Mercy and Favor for you, that you will encounter the True God and He will make you know him and you will be known by Him in Jesus name.

MyExpression:
We are tired of all the protocols, procedures and patterns.

God compared himself to our Earthly father...let him come thru for us.

We're tired of different Bible explanations and exegesis.
The clearer teachings/understanding has not resulted in better fellowship or any closer bond or more power/manifestation.

We just go to church, catch fire for the day...and then back to where we were.

I'm just tired of a non-responsive relationship with this Christian God.

Stop looking for shortcuts to God's blessings and you'll be fine.

All hail umu Chineke

This is the real definition of spec.
I pray that that which destroys women with great potentials will never locate her and she will fulfill her God-given dreams and purposes in Jesus name. Amen

flexydote:
Op. God bless you for this your writeup.

That's how my babe have been telling me that I shouldn't worry about money, infact I shouldn't even talk about it.

That when we marry, there will be blessing attached to the marriage.

Reason why I don't want to go into marriage now is cause I'm not making to much to start feeding two mouth, health, cloth and practically take of two individuals now. So I told her to chill first cause tho I'm expecting something huge that could upgrade my financial status but the pressure to get married to her no be here o.

I have seen a lot in the streets to not have sense in this matter. Omo forget Love o cause when it comes to the real matter it boils down to MONEY.

back in the days sef, you only marry when you can take care of a lady not because of Love.

Gen Z dem have changed the narrative.

Marriage is an Institution but na only few understand that terminology.

Marriage like every major decision in life is based on planning, preparation and conviction/faith.

You'll know when you're ready to marry even if all the fiance you need isn't available. Finance is one of the KPIs but the Faith/Conviction is the most important aspect.

Angelfrost:
Anambra once belonged to PDP, Prof.

Ebonyi used to be a PDP state.

PDP literally owned Abia.

Etc...!

Just deliver good governance, pick a worthy and widely loved successor before making mouth.

Pdp talk pass this one regarding Aso Rock, but the rest is history.

You've said it all and so tersely.

Attention seeker.
There's nothing wrong with him. He's just a drug addict looking for the usual quick fix.

What did he do with all his movie earnings?
My father earned less in the same period as a regular employee and he's not roaming the streets begging.

This was one of my greatest fears as a rapper that made me ditch fame for a 9 to 5- having a publicised crisis after fame- either losing my fortunes or getting hooked on drugs or some other crazy crises cos we see it happen all the time.

Some times when God shuts some doors, we should thank Him. Cos He truly knows best.

I pray Hanks Finds Peace. I pray He obtains mercy and grace and favor before God and man.
I pray he's restored spiritually and materially even beyond he's ever been.
I pray He becomes a vessel for God's use and testimonies of God's Love andGoodness and the Power of His Grace iunto Salvation in thr mighty name of Jesus. Amen

LegallyBlunt:
Your number 2 is quite faulty and has vague explanations.

Some people are broke, not out of choice, but for lack of opportunities. They might even be your most trusted friends in your down and difficult moments.

Like a senior of mine would always quip, have a rainbow of friends. That means your friends must not all have the same personality or capabilities.

If all your friends are like you, you've lost it.

Well said.

RingRoadCartel:
Na you and your papa go endure suffering, not me.

It's not what you can deny or wish away. Nigeria is going through famine and drought and e dey touch everybody including the President and our Oil Giants and Merchants, TeleComms and even Churches.
So, instead of denying the obvious, pray for Mercy and Favor. Because even in this famine, God is making a way for some, this is their season to shine and prosper.

Some thing to ponder over as you sleep. Good night.

NdubisiCharles:
Good day pals, I have a sister whose husband abandoned for the past 8 yrs now,
with kids, male and female, the boy is now 9yrs, while the girl is now 8 yrs, my sis was abandoned after giving birth to the little girl.
She single handedly took the children far away and keep raising them up till date, now this is happening.

Yesterday, I received a call from my young sis, saying that her forgotten husband just called and was pleading for her return, that what will she do, that she needs my advice as senior, for me not to fall into conclusion I gave her 48 hours to reply to her, .....

Today I called the man (husband) he sounds so calm, "he said he need them back, he told me that he never chase my sis away, that it was my sis that carry her bag and left his house. Ran away with the 2kids, that he paid my sis bride price, he has visited my family for reconciliation but sis said she ain't going back that hunger is in the house, he admitted that then he was broke, "that he is not a drunker, womanizer, fetish, or never lay hand on my sis, and that he is God fearing man" only that he has no money when asked my sis she confirmed it.

Please friends advice me on what to do

It's OK for a man to be broke once in a while but poverty should not be a perpetual state.

What is he doing to be successful?
He doesn't need to be so rich but he should have a job or business that comfortably takes care of him and his family.

Since he has married her and they have 2 children together, then she should honor her marttal vows "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, to love and cherish till death do them apart." If she indeed took the marital vows.

FRANCISTOWN:
How you guys love what doesn't exist baffles me

There's so much I could try to share with you but you're now too carnal/sensual, you can't understand them.

Bottom line is that for some reason you have been separated from God that's why spiritual things can't make any sense to you until you find grace and mercy and favor to be reconnected back to God.

Romans 8.5-8
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Samsunny99:
Love sometimes can hurt,a friend of mine came to me telling me how he loved a girl so dearly but the issue is that they are both AS,
After finding out,he has really been sad about the turn of events,
What is your advice or word of encouragement for him

He needs to have a heartfelt brutally honest tete-a-tete with his love-interest in the best interest of their future and especially the future of the children they could have together. The heart-ache of the break-up is no nearly worth the endless heartaches of losing their children to sickle-cell anaemia and the restlessness and expenses that comes with managing them.

Luke 14:28-30
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish'?

It's a hard one to fall in love only to have to sacrifice it for the sake of the greater good.
Whatever he decides, posterity will be the judge.

MaxInDHouse:
This is all i need in your post!
So calling a stupid atheist "knowledgeable" makes no sense tell him that there's provision for gentiles to become SPIRITUAL JEWS!

Cherry-picking what you want to hear just for you to be justified that you're right, is the perfect recipe for spiritual stagnancy.
Whenever you get around to reading Romans 9, I will be waiting to hear your thoughts on it.

FRANCISTOWN:
I'd have to disagree with you.

Your bible says that "Knowledge" is a very formidable weapon, for with it you can never be destroyed. Hosea 4:6.
Proverbs 24:5
A wise man is strong,
And a man of knowledge increases power

Proverbs 11:9
With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.

Proverbs 24:4
And by knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.

@ the emboldeneds, knowledge has always made people experience life and power. What is going on in Isreal today is not the work of any spirit but of knowledge and power

2. The letter does not kill. If it killed, why did yhwh say this to Joshua in Joshua 1: 8

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Your bible never mentioned anything spirit in that verse. Simply read and ponder.

3. I didn't get frustrated. I just got selfish. I was doing everything for the imaginary god.

He couldn't praise himself so I was praising him.
He couldn't win souls for himself and I was doing it.
He couldn't defend himself and I was doing that.
He couldn't clean his house and I was doing that.
He couldn't build his own house and I had to help him.

He was becoming more of a liability so, one day I thought about it.
These gods have never done anything for themselves by themselves. People have always done every single thing for them as easy as speaking for themselves.

That was a wrap! They can't do anything for themselves because they don't exist. The maths is simple.

Now I'm doing stuff for myself and humanity not for any imaginary sky monster

I Corinthians 8:1-13 NKJV Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

RingRoadCartel:
They did it so that "their brother" can become President.

But the real question is, now that Tinubu is the President, how has the life of the average yoruba man improved? Won't their odds still be the same as that of other tribes? If that's the case, then why vote along tribal/religious lines??

God has remembered Nigeria and especially the Yorubas.
If you have a problem with that, then it's God you have a problem with, not man.

About the suffering, Rome wasn't built in a day. President Tinubu's administration is barely 9 months in.
If you are still alive by then, you may well enjoy the blessing just as you endure the suffering.

mutumina007:
Poor Dino.

Despite all his loud and boastful rantings, puerile noise-making, clownish behaviour, crude bum-fuckery, infantile court-jesting, nauseating gorilla-dancing, gratutious insults, foul-mouthed bluster, tough guy "gra gra" and area boy antics and in spite of his membership of the 'Bugger Me Stiff United Football Club', he received the flogging and trouncing of his pitiful life in the Kogi state Governorship election.

Out of the 751,000 votes that were cast he could not even muster up to 47,000. That is approximately 5%.

Worst still he came in a very distant third in the race and some have even said fourth! How sad!

This is a man that was once elected as a House of Reps member and a Senator!

This is a man that mocked PBAT for his age, called him a drug dealer, accused him of being a drug addict, threatened to violate the honor of the First Lady, rolled all over the floor during the presidential campaign rallies in the name of depicting our President as an invalid and geriatric and threatened us with hell, fire and brimstone if Asiwaju won.

Well today he is where he is and politically its all over for him. How are the mighty fallen!

It appears that the White Lion of Kogi made good his promise and has retired him from politics permanently.

My heart goes out to him. 🤣
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode

Been waiting patiently for this retort from either FFK or Keyamo.
I'm not one to gloat but this one sweet me.
Dino went all out and did every thing an ordinary civilian should never do talk less of a so called "honorable senator".

Watched him on ChannelsTV last night still huffing and puffing.
I wonder how he still hasn't realized how he's finished except he does the needful.

Chinjo2:
When we wanted his comment on the Tinubu Certificate debacle he was mute.

He left the Tribunal, Supreme Court and US Courts to decide and allay everyone's doubts.
Which is what you should also learn to do.

MaxInDHouse:
This is all i need in your post!


So calling a stupid atheist "knowledgeable" makes no sense tell him that there's provision for gentiles to become SPIRITUAL JEWS!

I was an atheist. So trust me some atheists have knowledge. But the knowledge is now puffed up and no longer blessing them.
We should pray they come to repentance.

MaxInDHouse:
Do you think ATHEISTS have the knowledge of God at all?

The foolish atheist only quotes what his white supremacists infused in his head.

Take for instance he is quoting apostle Paul that a Jew must be by birth whereas in that same letter Paul made it clear to everyone that the REAL Jews aren't by birth but by faith:

"Circumcision is, in fact, of benefit only if you practice law; but if you are a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. If, therefore, an uncircumcised person keeps the righteous requirements of the Law, his uncircumcision will be counted as circumcision, will it not? And the physically uncircumcised person will, by carrying out the Law, judge you who are a transgressor of law despite having its written code and circumcision. For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision something on the outside, on the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and his circumcision is that of the heart by spirit and not by a written code. That person’s praise comes from God, not from people" Romans 2:25-29

The first thing the Israelites does when they have a male child is circumcision on the eighth day {Luke 1:59} so all Jews are circumcised but when someone is not circumcised it simply means he is not a Jew naturally.
Therefore Paul is hereby saying that only those who believe in the Messiah are real Jews because they're the ones who should be called the descendants of Abraham who got the promise to become the ancestor of the Messiah and was willing to forgo everything he had just to meet up with this covenant:

"Moreover, if you belong to Christ, you are really Abraham’s offspring, heirs with reference to a promise" Galatians 3:29

Paul here was addressing the congregation (church) in Galatia a pagan nation calling them heirs with reference to a promise which means these ones doesn't need to be CIRCUMCISED like Israelites does naturally but they automatically become Abraham's descendants through faith in Christ Jesus.

So in what way does an atheist have the knowledge about God or Christianity?

Study Romans 9. I have pointed you to this chapter for the umpteenth time. Yet you have never addressed it.
There is a place for spiritual rebirth in Christ which makes believers spiritual Jews and heirs to the promises of God to Abraham. Meaning as you said there is no longer distinction spiritually between a Jew or a Gentile who gives his life to Christ.

But there are still the biological Jews who God has rejected and Paul exhorts us to pray for their redemption because they have been rejected for crucified Christ.

So you both made valid scriptural points.

FRANCISTOWN:
WRONG!!!
I've said it serval times. You guys read your bible upside down and from the right hand side to the left hand side.

A Jew is a jew

Your bible does not have a name for anyone who believes in the promises of yhwh aside the fact that they are yhwh's people.

John 1: 12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
Only those who believe in your Jesus are called the "sons of god"
Apostle Paul distinguished from Jews who are believers and the rest of the race who are believers. Your Jesus was sent to the Jews first, then to the rest of the races(according to your book)


Romans 1:16 Paul writes, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”

“There will be anguish and distress for everyone who does evil, to the Jew first and also to the Greek; but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” - Romans 2: 9-10

The above bible verse that the OP mentioned was referring to the JEWS and not to everyone who believes in yhwh.

There is no such thing as a spiritual Jew, a Jew is a Jew.
Your scripture does not mix them together. The authors believed the Jews were special, that's the reason everyother person who believes aside from the Jews is catergorized under the Greek or the Gentiles.

Romans 10:12-13 (NIV)
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

It's important to note here that not all the Jews believe in your Jesus Christ. Isn't Jesus Christ also a part of the promises of yhwh?

As a Jew,can not believing in Jesus Christ automatically revoke my Jewish citizenship?
However we both know that there was no ethnicity or race on the surface of the earth called the Jews until the 16th century, the same century the letter "J" was invented thereby rendering all the bible characters with letter "J" as forgeries

Imagine an atheist having to school a christain on scriptural affairs.
What a shame.

So many atheists are actually very knowledgeable about God and Christianity.
But knowledge is not enough, experiencing the Spirit of God is where the life and power is.

2Cor.3.6 - who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

I perceive you were once closed to God but got frustrated and backslided. Like the prodigal son, repelt and return in to the love and kingdom of your Father.

Pamfresh:
Please I need mature minds advise on this topic.
My family recently discovered that my younger brother who has been in the seminary and was supposed to be a reverend father in few years time has a very big gambling issue.

Over the years, he has accumulated a gambling debt of 2M (borrowed majorly from loan sharks). When I discovered about the incidence, I hesitated involving my retired dad and mum because of the shock they might get hearing about this but when I discovered I couldn't pay the debt alone, i had to involve them. Thank God they handled it calmly. My dad and I have offset 700k debts already but I recently discovered that he is still borrowing and betting even recently (someone that has access to his details revealed this to me today). I am totally devastated and I don't know how to relay this to my parents to avoid heart attack. The gruesome part of the whole story is that he is JOBLESS because of his seminary school journey (which he has willingly pulled out from because of this issue).

Please my fellow nairanders, how do I handle this problem? I'm fed up

Several people here have shared one of the reasons he's not stopping but rather getting worse. He knows he has those of you who will clear his debts.
He needs to learn the hard way and know that he has a big problem and needs help. Until he realises the gravity of his gambling problem, he can't genuinely seek help. Stop encouraging his habits by bailing him our. He's your blood but at this point you must know hat his help comes from You tough love.

The second and most important angle to this is that it's a spiritual condition. He's in seminary school meaning he's chosen to follow Christ. This comes with price to pay. The devil will certainly vet him to expose if he's truly worthy of the ministry he's been called into. Even follower of Christ goes through this. I perceive he's being tested for his love of money among other things. I'll suggest you take him to a true man of God you or he has faith in. They should pray for him. If you have faith, you can pray for him too.

He has a strong calling on him and it come at a price. He must die to self completely to follow Christ. We all have call on our lives, however the demand on some are non-megotiable.
Rejoice that God is testing him to make him worthy of his calling.

A druggie certificate forger with Rotten Narrative wants to change the Narrative of Nigeria.

I laugh in balablu bulaba.

Guess you missed the part where He gave the glory to God.
May be you believe God's ways must be your own way.
It's in your best interest to bless who God has blessed because God curses those who dare curse them.

Pristine664:
Edo is not in any position to unite Yorubas and Igbos because they have recently shown in recent time that they are just like the Igbos in their unwarranted hate against the Yorubas.

It's only God that can unite us. And he will decide when, how and who he'll use to achieve his pleasure.

zed7:
A submissive woman is not the one who only listens to her man because he provides for her, a true submissive woman is one who knows that even though she can afford everything by herself, she chooses to humble herself and listen to the man because she recognises she's a helper and not the captain.

Submissiveness doesn't mean you're a fool, but you choose to be respectful, because you know that you're a woman and a man is the head of the relationship.

Scripturally, a woman was created to help the man. God made man the leader.
The moment Eve decided to lead, she disobeyed God's instruction and caused mankind to fall.
The man was cursed to experience hardship to feed. She was cursed to experience birth pangs and for to be forcefully ruled by the man.
Which is why once a woman falls in love with a man, she is a complete mumu for him. And he knows it and most men take advantage of this.

But a saved woman is no longer under the curse in Christ. In fact, there's no more male or female (Gal 3:28).
Submission becomes an attribute all believers have towards God and the Word of God and it's commands.
The Word of God says we (all believers) should be submissive to one another regardless of male or female, pastor or evangelist or apostle or prophet or teacher or new convert. We however honor those who labor for our souls the apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists (leaders).

And finally there always has to be a leader who is held accountable.
Christ is the Leader (Head) of us all according tot the Word of God.
The Husband is the Head of the Home.
Parents are the heads of the children till they are leaders/accountable themselves.

Our relationship is as the relationship of God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
God is Father is the Head, then the Word (Son) of God, then the Holy Spirit. Co-equals but with their different functions.
The Word (Son) only declares what the Father says, and the Holy Spirit only declares what the Word (Son) says. John 16:13-15

I know this is a bit much but I hope it helps.
Basically, Submissiveness is only fruitful from a godly woman to a godly man who have both Submitted to the Word of God. Ephesians 5:22-23
God help us all.

BigBlackPreek:
Nice one Obaseki! I hope he's settled differences between him and Shuiab also. In politics no permanent enemy and no permanent friend

This is a great day for the Edo people and Nigeria. Yoruba and Igbos hold our history and ancestry from the Great Benin Kingdom.
I pray the re-union also portends a great future and some how fosters peace between the Yoruba nation and the Igbo nation and by extension the rest of all the nations in our dear Country Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria.
God bless well meaning Nigeirans.
God bless the President and His administration.

Absuchat:
This one is one of the many that subconsciously resists technically advancement.

So if I need like 5 different translations, I should carry the 5 heavy paper Bibles, whereas a simple app has more than 10 of them?

So now that I want to sleep small and wake up in 2 hrs to read my Bible, I hope I can use the paper Bible as alarm to wake me up?

Can I chat with people reading the same page as me to clearify any misunderstanding?

What are your thoughts on distractions?
How do you manage studying your Bible and pop-up messages and ads?

advanceDNA:
Most Nigerian women can never stop being parasites....forget it.... Most of them are broke and always dream of making it life through men....if most women were given a wish that will come true... they would rather wish for a man that is rich, instead of wishing for their own truck load of money....

men are the ones that need to up their standard to stop dating broke, stingy, jobless women.

Both need to up their standards really.
It all balls down to self-esteem.
When more men and women come to their senses and know their worth/value, they will start to do better.

The marriage was built in deceit. There is nothing to counsel.

benuejosh:
An what if what she is saying has nothing to do with her relationship with Taylor?

Come to think of it, none of her relationships has lasted more than a year if i am correct. There's an issue somewhere.

Any young guy looking to settle down with cuppy must be as rich as her dad otherwise forget it. She has all that she wants or needs to be comfortable without a man. So you must be on the same level with her Dad as a guy to settle down with her.

This is where most people get it wrong.
Financial riches isn't the only riches there is.
She may not even know what's missing in her life that she's longing for. She just knows some thing significant is missing.
I pray she finds Christ, what she's missing, and much more will find her.
