Abuja Masterplan, Abuja Masterplan.. Government should publish these Masterplans so that everyone can know it or even have a copy of it, in order to avoid violating it.. Not for any government in power to hide behind a shady and indeterminate "masterplan" to carry out vendetta and take over legitimate properties angry

This government will issue an approval for a building in line with the "masterplan".. The next government will come in and demolish the same building for not being in line with the "masterplan".. Playing politics with people's investments. undecided
As seemingly right as you are, this is what happens when a man knows what he carries and more importantly who is carrying/backing him.

Its too late.

That is what "it is finished" finished!

It is now every man to himself and God for only those who have Him!
It is finished was said at the Cross.
It is a confirmation that Jesus Completed His Earthly Ministry faithfully.
It confirms that Salvation is available to All Men as many who believe and submit to Him as Lord and Saviour.

From your moniker, you should learn the Truth from the Spirit of Truth. So that you can speak the Truth and rightly divide the Word of Truth.

More importantly, wetin concern the God of Israel with Nigeria for crying out loud? undecided
He created the world so He is not only Interested in Insrael but all his creation.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Israel is a template of God's modus operandi.
The rejection of Christ by Israel was also prophecied so that Scriptures will be fulfilled and the gospel and salvation will be extended to the rest of the world.
I know you only believe the synoptic- Jesus Christ said this. Do your research. Also Paul confirmed it in Romans 9.

The1960writer:
In a bid to 'stand out' as one of the 'less than 1% Christians in Nigeria', your post
unfortunately betrays you and causes your self-righteousness to surface.

Did you and the angels go round doing a survey in Nigeria and the world? Did heaven make you the Minister of Earthly Christians Statistics? Speak for yourself, you do not know the heart of others or how God gives righteousness. It was this same self-righteousness Elijah displayed when he claimed to be the only prophet left before God told him he had 7,000 others reserved.

Yes, there is so much deceit and wickedness in the world today, even in the church. Nevertheless, there are still loads of good people way more than your self-generated 1%.
It's not about me or others. At the end of the day, It's about you.
Will God find you among the 1%?
Are you faithful?
There is the imputed righteousness of God. But it's purpose is to teach you to become righteous and not continue in sin/iniquity/lawlessness which God hates.

Matt.7.22 - Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?"
Matt.7.23 - And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

Luke.18.7 - And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
Luke.18.8 - I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

Celebrities › Re: Men Will Always Break Your Heart–Tiwa Savage Advises Ladies On Being Independent by Myer(m): 3:59am On Aug 21, 2023
Almiron:
Nigerian Afrobeats Queen, Tiwa Savage during a recent show advised women to be independent during a recent concert.

The famous artist recently underlined the value of a woman’s independence at a concert. Tiwa remarked that since she has her own resources, all he needs is a partner who can match her dynamism.

She said that even in the end, males would still shatter women’s hearts, therefore it’s better to grieve in luxury than cry broken.

Tiwa Savage made this comment while performing. She said; “ I am not encouraging runs, I am not saying you should go after a man for his money but I’m saying it’s sweet when you also spend your money. Because I have my own money as you can see.

“So all I am saying is you need to match my energy because they will still break your heart anyway. So it’s better for you to cry with your Christian Dior-Dior-Dior, your Birkin bag, and your private jet to Dubai
”.

Source
I feel her. Her heart's been through a lot in the wrong hands.
Tiwa is such a sweet soul. I pray she gets love right. She obviously has so much love to give.

I thank God for her present direction, leaning more to gospel , I pray she yields and encounters the kind of love of Christ that creates a broken spirit and contrite heart that transform lives.

Stop misinterpreting my words, every smart lady knows that you should date a man above you in every step in life so everything will be balanced.
It is very unwise to date your agemate hence the reason you see people in relationship for donkey years and still cry when dumping happens.
The life of a woman is different from that of a man and if you ain't calculative as a woman you'll end up wasting your time with the wrong person
You're right. A woman should date a man ahead of her. But that's also relative.
Ahead of her in terms of what?
That they're both serving together doesn't mean they're on the same level.
She may have seen a vision in him she connects with.
From the way he's written here, he seems to know what he's doing and what he wants.

I see almost everyday how men go about asking ladies for a date, burning date and airtime, trying to impress ladies which I find so disgusting.
I don't know if it is a problem with me, but, I find it absurd, time and resource wasting to go days asking a lady out, buy things to impress her, call her every morning and send gifts just to have a woman around me.

I have had some few girlfriend in the past and even my last ex, I only asked her out once and wait for her to make up her mind, never spent a dime on dates or gifts.

Romance › Re: The Truth About Chasing Women That Only The Genius Understands by Myer(m): 2:47pm On Aug 20, 2023
Pukkalolo:
Abert Einstein created the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics....

These two are basically the breakthroughs in the understanding of the world around us in all of human history. Most inventions came from that idea.

Einstein single-handedly created modern physics. It's no wonder when you study physics, his name shows up all the time.

The world practically operates on the laws of Physics. Even Elon musk once stated that, "physics is the law, everything else is just ideas."

Although Abert Einstein is now late, but it's safe to say, he's the god father of inventions.

Now you might be thinking, "Pukka, I don't understand... what exactly is your pointhuh"


Take a chill...

We are just starting....


When you think of Abert Einstein, you immediately imagine him to be this nerdy introverted 'lonely' scientist who's obsessed with his work..... but it turns out that,

It's quite the opposite

In reality, he was a "ladies man" even before he got famous.

Albert Einstein was once asked to explain the general theory of relativity, he said, "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour, but sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute.

Only those who studied physics or physics related course would understand that explanation.

While Einstein was in high institution, after studying hard during the day and doing experiments in the lab, instead of jerking off, he'd go out and socialize with real women to cool off his brain. At that time, thank God there was no phone, socal media, porn....

Einstein was quite socially suave and quite capable of seducing women, something he did often and to an intense degree.

What was his secret?

His secret was that he never seek to just get into women pant, he just tries to make them feel understood.

As howhuh


In ,1931 Charlie Chaplin invited Albert Einstein, who was visiting Hollywood. As the two men drove into town together, people waved at them and cheered.

Einstein turned to Chaplain and said: ‘"What I admire most about your art, is its universality. You do not say a word and yet the world understands you."

“You are right,” replied Charlie Chaplin, "But Albert your fame is even greater because they admire you, but they don't understands you."

That's fact. Einstein wasn't selfish, so he never seek to be understood but rather he seek to understand the world around him and create value.

Because he seek to understand how the world operate, he dropped theory of relativity and quantum mechanics that took the world to the next level

And because he wasn't chasing women, he easily make the women feel understood, and as a result he easily got them to drop theirs panties accordingly.


Einstein once wrote, "women were chasing me and showering me with unwanted attention."

Infact, while in higher institution, he was very frequently invited to play his violin at women’s social gatherings. Einstein never chase women, but he was quite popular with the ladies. He was getting pussy left and right even before he became rich and famous. Again, note: Einstein never chase women.

Ok...to the main point:

Most guys here will say,

"Never chase girls."

Chasing girls is for losers."

But then on a low-key these same guys are still chasing women.

Here are 4 ways you are chasing women on a low key.

#1. You are thinking/fantasizing about her about her

Even if you are not actively chasing the girl, as long as you are fantasizing about being with her, then you are still chasing her.
For example: you see a woman and think, "If I can make her mine, then I'll be the happiest person" or "that woman is perfect for me." But you still don't talk to her. Then you are still chasing her in your mind.
That's even worse than actively chasing her.

#2. You're jerking off while thinking about her.

Let's say an attractive lady with a big killer ass is in proximity with you and you admire her, but you refuse to talk to her.
But before she goes out of your sight, you take a hard look at her ass, so you can properly store the image of her sexy ass in your brain because it will come in handy when you wants to masturbate later in the night.

If you are jerking off to her, then you are still chasing her.


#3. If you are "just" friends with her.

. Most times guys think they have dating problems; but what they really have is "Self-Respect" problem. Their lack of self-respect is only reflecting in their dating lifes. If you want date a girl but you're pretending to be content with just being friends with her, then that you lack self-respect.

Look, a man and woman are can never be just friends. They can be colleagues, they can be business partners, they can be class mates, they can be anything, but they are rarely just friends.

Most “just friendship” between men and women isn’t genuine: the man is secretly interested in smashing the girl or going into a relationship with her, but he doesn't want to be direct about it.

When you are just friends with the girl, she is getting what she wants (attention) but you're not getting what you wants(sex). So basically, you're suppressing your desires just to keep the friendship.

If you "just" friends with a girl, then you are chasing her
You'll make a great evangelist.
But first you need to be delivered of the Spirit of lust.

Every thing in your life will fall into place when you begin to win souls to Christ, especially souls of men.
Grace multiplied to you.

BrighterThanDay:
Why is it that even when it is so clear from all indications that your daughter is married to an irresponsible man who is toxic. Nigerian parents will still say endure and stay there.

A lot of married young ladies are down with depression and even high BP because of marital stress. But they have to remain there. It's just so sad
1. Marriage is a covenant well spelt out in the vows- for better for worse, for richer for poorer, etc.
You can't enjoy marriage and run away during the trying times. Since life is not a bed of roses, marriage will test you in good times if you will become proud and it will test you in bad times if you've been hiding your true character.
Have spiritual parents you look up to for good marriage counsel. Most times it's not your biological parents. You will realise they have either passed through same or similar challenges and will be able to guide upu through.
Both our tradition and Scripture respect the marriage institution because it is sacred.

2. If the problem is beyond repair either cos you're unequally yoked, God makes provision for divorce under certain circumstances. If divorce is the only option then you should not be scared of your parents or what people will say. Alone and naked we came to this world, alone and naked we will leave. Nothing and no one leaves this earth with us.

3. It is imperative to get marriage right from the start. Prayerfully seek good counsel before agreeing to marry who you decide to marry. This saves from many heartaches, cos a husband or wife you know Gpd gave you will certainly be a blessing to you even though you both will certainly go through the challenges of life together, it will be with the Help of the One who you joined you together in Holy matrimony (God).

God help us all and help repair marriages that need His touch in Jesus name. Amen

I've been working in an Asian company since 2017, then my salary was 70k, but it fluctuates up and down currently I've been at 100k for the past 3 years or so.

Recently I was transferred to a village with no electricity and the salary remains the same.

I'm an engineering graduate from one of the top federal Universities in the south west.

Nevertheless, I've come to a stage where I'm considering business, given my set-aside capital of about 1million naira, and because of the Sunday to Sunday work schedule, I am considering quitting, inorder to start either a barbing shop, POS, or bike business .

Do you think it is a good idea?
I'm glad you're thinking in the right frame of mind.
What's the Asian Coy into?
If you've garnered enough knowledge, experience and contact, you should be thinking in that line in whatever capacity you can. If it's a viable business.

I also must ask, if you're married or not.
If single, then quitting should be quite easy and a blessing for you.

Ultimately, there are 3 options;

1. Continue with the job and regret it if there's no reasonable career growth path.

2. Quit and start a business that pays your bills.

3. You know your passion. Understudy under some one successful in that field, build yourself online and offline. Give yourself at least 3 to 4 years. You will become an expert at it and with God and in time, your skill will truly place you before Kings.

All the best.

Good Morning All

I got my dream job in a financial institution, I will be resuming on Monday.

From your experience, kindly share the things I must and must not do in a professional setting.

NB: This is my first professional job hence the reason for the question.
Be enthusiatic but learn to control it. Take your first few months to ask questions. On-the-job learning from the best in your office.
Be excellent and honor everyone including your colleagues and customers.
Don't try to outdo everyone so that you'll be seen as better than them. At the same time give your best. It's a thin-line that wisdom will guide you.
Know your stakeholders. (The most powerful person in your office might not be your Manager but one of your colleagues).
Be loyal to the company and your boss with customers satisfaction as your goal.
Don't make the wrong enemies. And don't try to be friends with everyone.
It's a job, you're not there to make friends but be friendly. If you're lucky you will make few friends.

Above all, as a believer (if you are), do every thing as if you're working for God and not man. Knowing that it is God who provided the job for you. Don't let the job take the place of God. Put God first.
Congrats and all the best.

Col.3.22 -25
Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

However war is not always the best option, diplomacy is better which is the route Yorubas have chosen from the get-go.
It's not easy to forgive Yorubas for the part Awolowo played in Biafran war, but I assure you carrying around that anger is not helping you either.

Evangelist and Bishop, both of different churches!

Na members them dey drag? Abi na money?

It's rare for women to die of marathon sex that has nothing to do with rape. Unless she was having organ issues or some kind of sickness. But anything aside from that could be murder. If your enemies want to destroy you, they do it via anyone they that can reach you at your vulnerable state.

Go to history you'll see where women who were sexual partners were paid to kill presidents, kings, people with influence, etc.

May her soul rest in peace.
This is the reality of so many marriages lately.
Husbands and wives engaging in extra-marital affairs- with singles or fellow married ones, lodging in hotels here and there.
Little wonder hospitality business is thriving.

It's easy to point fingers at the pastor and evangelist but they are even the most vulnerable, only the Grace of God can prevent a pastor from committing sexual immoralities because of the avalanche of females he attends to on a daily basis. It takes wisdom and self-control of the highest order to overcome some temptations.
The woman like wise is a victim of a long distance marriage. Why will you and your husband be in different states? The bible says don't give Satan a foothold, he will capitalise on it.

There are so many possibilities as to why she may have been poisoned, as foaming in the mouth is usually a sign of poison. I don't want to begin to assume. I pray the right authorities mete justice on this case.

God help us all, this heavenly race Is not for the weak. Let no one boast and let He who thinks he stands take heed lest He fall.

tete7000:
he Primate, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, His Grace, Nicholas Okoh has spoken on the issue of preaching and collection of tithe by pastors.

The issue of tithing has generated a lot of controversy in recent days, geared by a controversial CoolFM On Air Personality, OAP, Daddy Freeze.

Primate Okoh, who spoke with select journalists in Abuja on the subject, said payment of tithe was not by force, adding failure to pay doesn’t bring about curse.

He explained, “Tithing is a very ancient tradition, Abraham paid tithe to Melchizedek and people have become transfixed to that idea till today, but in the New Testament, giving modalities have other options.

“One, it says, set aside something every week which you think would be handsome for the glory of God and give that. Whether that is 10 per cent or whatever per cent, I don’t know, but the instruction is, set aside something every week.

“Then, there is the gift required to give by all; the first concept is that your life is a living sacrifice. A sacrifice is something you offer and withdraw your hand, that means the Christian offers his life totally and the totality of his training, his money and everything he has belonged to God.

“Therefore, the question of saying, ‘God take 10 per cent, I would keep 90 per cent’ does not arise. Let me give an example: If you are a tither and you give 10 per cent to the Church, and after giving this percentage, somebody is very sick, and you still have your 90 per cent, will you close your eyes to the person’s need?

“You see, that is one of the weaknesses of tithing if you follow it mechanically. Then furthermore, in John chapter 6, Jesus asked people who had food to bring it, but only one young boy who had a lunch pack–two pieces of fish and five barley loaves, offered his.

“The mother gave him to eat as he was going about with Jesus so he would not be hungry. When Jesus asked for the bread, it was not only that boy that had, many had and did not bring, but the boy brought his own, he did not give Jesus two pieces of fish and keep the rest, he did not give the barley loaves and keep the fish, he gave everything and because he gave everything, the blessing of God multiplied it over and over.

“So the intention of the mother was met, the boy had enough to eat, other people who were there, almost 20,000 had enough to eat and to spare. Now, those who had and did not bring, their own became a waste. So, the point in this matter is that, when God is asking for something, you don’t give him 10 per cent.

“You give him what is worthy of his name: it might be more than 10 per cent, it might be 10 per cent, it might be anything depending on the situation he has placed you bearing in mind that every good and perfect gift comes from above.”

On the stand of some pastors that anyone who refused to pay tithe was under a divine curse, he said, “no , I don’t believe it, I don ’t curse anybody, God does not compel us to go, he only makes us willing to go. If God has given you a gift, he woos your mind, he makes you to see why. Remember that the gift you gave does not promote God.

“He is not a young officer that would be promoted a senior officer or to an executive by your gift. God is full, according to the theology of Colossians, God is full, complete.

“When you give, it is you the giver that is blessed. The person giving is the one lifted up, God is not hungr . According to Psalm 50, he said if I were hungry for meat, I won’t tell you, the whole cattle on a thousand hills belonged to me.”

How come the curse of Malachi

Most pastors know this but won't preach it.
However I believe there is a way God reveals this to those who He Trusts.
Because the Truth is some times your gift may require sacrificing 100% at times and other times less than 10%. God knows our hearts and capacities.
