That Lagos has a high debt does not mean they don't generate more than many other states. There is a difference between the two. You can borrow to carry-out a project which your internal generated revenue can't help with as at that time. Then, a repayment plan is put in place based on the internally generated revenue.

...but it was freedom of speech when kanu the terrorist leader issued terrorist threats to kill Nigerians and destroy Nigeria and that did not violate Twitter rules and terms at all?

Why are they now deleting the terrorists tweets when they should have a long time ago even after the Nigerian government complained and asked for the tweets to be deleted?

Twitter got what it deserved and they should have been banned a long time ago

You people are too duplicitous and hypocritical for your own good.
I am not concerned whether twitter deleted Nnamdi Kanu's tweet or not. It is only sick, silly and shameful for a country or any individual to stoop so low as to comparing the tweet of a president to the tweet of an individual. If the government isn't okay with it, they should have also raised people like you to make complaints to twitter. Nigerians reported to twitter and twitter reviewed this and took actions against the president.

So you know I don't belong to the same tribe or region as Nnamdi Kanu and don't subscribe to his toutish reasoning. In every sense, the president was wrong and absolutely wrong to have tweeted that way or even speak about war. What war has he raised against boko haram, fulani herdsmen and even banditry? Insecurity has been the worst under his administration and yet, no single tough statement to show that he is the commander in chief. Instead, we are hearing of how they want to sponsor repentant boko haram for education abroad and how the government funds boko haram in the name of negotiations. A government that can negotiate with terrorist but makes ridiculous statements against another region.

Who is being hypocritical and duplicitous between the two of us? Face the matter objectively. Address the matter and not come up with wrong or biased view.

Anyway, the Federal Govt. is no way hindering freedom of speech...We still have Facebook, Nairaland, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, crowwe etc..

FG only banned one platform where irresponsible speech capable of wrecking havoc to the corporate existence Nigeria is permitted and that is Twitter...

God Bless Nigeria..
Can we avoid reasoning like this? The same way you see other platforms as alternatives to communication or freedom of expression is the same way the government can come up to ban them if they don't support the wrong practices of the government.

Can we just be honest and fair to ourselves? Let's call a spade, a spade and stop giving titles to cow because of the beef we want to eat. Boko haram has been with us for years with many kidnapped, killed and some places in the North not safe anymore for movement. Imagine, the government saying farmers should have requested for permission before going to their farms. The man empowered with the control of all armed forces never for once spoke in the manner he spoke against the terrible act in South East. Is justice unfair? Have we lost our conscience?

Irresponsible speech as you called it goes on every social media platform and is not restricted to twitter alone. Let's be enlightened here.

If we are objective about this, it was Nigerians who reported the tweets of the president to those in charge of twitter and how it contradicts the terms and conditions binding the use of the platform. They investigated and found the complaints to be true and did the needful. Let me state here that the president is not the president of Nigerian tweets on twitter but like everyone and anybody who has an account on twitter and as such should go by the terms and conditions binding on this platform. Also, the president wasn't forced to be on this platform and the president also saw the terms and conditions before agreeing to be on this platforms. To go against their terms and conditions and at the same time try to stop other Nigerians from this freedom of communication is selfish, lawless and autocratic.
FamilyRe: Why Are Mothers So Loved By Their Children Than Their Fathers? by Nauttyprof(m):
There are fathers that are more caring than the mothers but most times, children love their mothers more due to the fact that the mothers conspire with the children in many cases against their fathers. The love and bond grows based on this.

There are several instances to back this up but let's look at when the father says the child mustn't go out for now. The mother will meet the child and say go out but return by this time before your Dad comes.

Also, in case where the child ask for N5000 for personal needs, the father out of overcoming several hurdles was able to raise N4,500 to support the child and then, pleads with the child to manage it. The mother will go behind him and give the child the N500 balance with the word - don't mind your Dad, he has the money but doesn't want to give you. The child will not consider the father who suffered to raise N4,500 but appreciate and cherish the mother who came up with the balance of N500.

The conspiracy of the mothers with their children against their fathers make the love and bond stronger.

Politicians create the problem, the masses suffer its impact while the politicians enjoy the benefits. Yet, the masses who should call for the politicians to first downsize political appointments and also reduce all politicians salaries are the same people who support whatever politicians do.

let us be true to ourselves. Many states don't need the numbers of workers on its payroll. We can never develop as a country when 85% of some states revenue is used in paying salaries of less than2% of the population. It makes not sense. Many of the civil servants are redundant. In so department you would see 5people doing the work of 1 person. It also like that at the federal where due to tribal sentiments they have loaded it with there people. With technology we don't need bulky civil service. More funds should be made available for stimulating the economy through provision of grants, infrastructure , Agricultural support etc that would help the entire populace. There should be a law that stipulate 65 to 35% in terms in favour of capital to recurrent cost. And that all employment must be shared across all nooks and crannies of a state evenly.
I like your response. How about the redundant politicians who don't do anything but occupy government positions and are collecting huge sums sufficient enough to pay over 30 workers monthly salary per politician?

How about the state house of representative members who even when they don't sit claim the money for this and all sorts of evils happening amidst the politicians?

Let's be honest, if you want to downsize, do this holistically. Include the politicians and we will know that he meant well. Who created the problems in the first instance, isn't it the politicians themselves?

We should look at the issue holistically than taking a side to judge this matter.

I have said it twice in my mentions that Hebrews 7 isn't about tithe, so repeating that to me isn't necessary.

Tithe was used as an argument to validate the higher priesthood of Christ. Hebrews 7 didn't talk about salvation at all. The talk about salvation came in chapter 10. Hebrews 7 was aimed at validating Christ's higher priesthood in contrast to the levitical order.

The writer argued that Christ receives tithes in Heaven as Aaron does on earth, thereby validating Christ's priesthood as one who also offers gifts for men.

Stop reading new versions of NIV, the NIV Publishing house has been bought over by a known Satanist, who has been changing portions of the NIV to water down the truth.

Read Hebrews 7 in various translations. The Holy Spirit will guide us into His truth.
See the accusations, when did I mention NIV? For your info, I don't read NIV. To have drawn this conclusion about me shows so much on you not being open to study again God's word but believe all you know is complete and absolute about God. No one can know God completely, ask Paul. Knowledge is progressive. Also, stop lifting a verse in isolation and then, give it a meaning of your own. I keep repeating this, the Author's intended meaning alone stands, not your opinion or personal view.

Read the whole of Hebrew 7 start from the beginning and go to the end of that chapter. You will even notice that chapter 8 was a continuation of 7. Understand the focus of the Author - Salvation in the person of Christ who reigns forever against those who render sacrifices for one's salvation and yet, died.

The writer has no argument on tithe. You created this for yourself. It is part of the greed of not letting go of this tithe thing that has made people to hold unto tithe because they feel people won't give again.

The truth is this, teach people the right message on salvation and Christ and Him crucified and you will see them give beyond even 10%. The Scriptures made us realised that the people in Acts first gave their lives to Christ and as a respond to this, they saw their possessions as the Lord's. This was why they could sell all their possessions without any compulsion (Acts 2). Acts 4:32 shows a repetition repetition of Acts chapter 2. They first gave their lives to Christ and didn't see what they own as theirs. In response to the salvation, they sold what they had and brought the money before the Apostle.

Do you know that if Ananias and Sapphira just brought a part of the money they had, they won't have died? It was the deceit in them that made them dead. Peter's response to what they did show plainly that there was no compulsion in bringing all the money before God.

Back to our discussion, teach people salvation and not money as the Bible instructed and see how people will respond to the things of God. We have failed to emphasis on the place of Salvation and have placed so much attachment on tithe and giving without any concern about the giver's life whether he is saved or not.

Do you know why energy is expended on pulpit when it comes to money? It's simply because the place of salvation is missing in the life of the congregation.

I won't respond to any further accusations from you as I believe I have shown you better from the scriptures without any form of head knowledge in this. Scriptures is used to explain scriptures, verses in the scriptures are not to be lifted or read in isolation but to be read completely with previous verses and verses afterwards to understand the author's intended meaning. To read in isolation is to produce your own meaning.

Just as when Jesus said the kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent takes it by force, He never meant we are to be violent before God answers. This error came because this verse was read in isolation. Whereas Jesus was referring to John the Baptist here and how by violence he was arrested to silence the message of the kingdom and later killed.

May we all make heaven on the last day and not focus on the things God Himself isn't concerned about. Our lives is what God is after first.

I don't even think you read my mention before quiting me. That shows me how you read your Bible.

Read that mention. Read Hebrews 7.

Hebrews 7 was part of a series in the book of Hebrews that sought to establish Christ as a priest whose eternal sacrifice "is able to save to the uttermost, all those who came to God through Him." This series ended in chapter 10.

Before the point of eternal priesthood of salvation could be established, the writer wanted to convince the Hebrews that Christ is a Priest. Then, in chapter 7, he wanted to take it further ti make them see that Christ's priesthood is superior to that of Aaron.

Since, Levitical priests are honoured with tithes, the writer established that they are men who die and could not continue their priesthood. He then posited that Christ as a priest also receives tithes in heaven. And, as a superior priest, He is a priest who receives tithe forever because He is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Bring an argument to the contrary. I have told you the analysis of what that chapter is in 2 mentions. Give me your analysis. Stop twisting the scriptures.

Tithe is a way of telling God that He's a partner in whatever venture you have tithes. God being a partner therefore opens the doors of blessings upon the business as in Malachi 3. The God of Malachi 3 has not changed. He still loves tithes as He loved it then. Nothing in the new testament replaces tithes. Offerings are as old as Abraham. So is tithe.

If the abolishing of the law ended tithes, then offerings too must end because offerings as well are parts of the law. The books of Leviticus, numbers and a part of Exodus put much premium on offerings.
Your final submission is wrong, check 2 Corinthians 9:5-7 to understand better. There is a place of checking within yourself to see if what you are giving truly honours God.

Now, Hebrews 7 isn't about tithe and I keep correcting this. It is about two different priesthood and understanding the place of salvation. One collected tithe, does sacrifice for himself to be saved and for others to be saved. Yet, he being the priest still dies. On the other hand, one sacrificed His life once and for all for our salvation and He lives on to receive us all into salvation.

To read Hebrews and place it on tithe is to get wrongly what the author wants us to understand about the priesthood of God and it lasting salvation.

N.B: I want you to take your time to seek for the truth on this chapter and you will understand better. No one is trying to prove supremacy here. It is all about we just revealing Christ in all.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Adeboye Preaches At ‘Holy Communion Service’ After Son, Dare's Death by Nauttyprof(m): 9:35pm On May 07, 2021
NobleRace:
The book of Hebrews in completely in my mind. I can quite whole chapters raw from chapter 1.

Hebrews 7 is the best place in the whole scriptures for tithing to be openly condemned and discouraged if it truly has no meaning in christiendom.

Chapter 7 emphasizes the priesthood of Melchizedek, and established that He was a priest of the most high God with no begining and no end.

Since Levi gave tithes to Melchizedek being in Abraham's loins, Melchizedek is reckoned to be greater than Aaron the son of Levi through whom the Levitical priesthood is progenated.

The emphasis was not on tithing. Tithing was only used to establish the superiority of Melchizedek to Aaron.

Now, Melchizedek is an allegorical character representing Jesus. Hence, Jesus is a priest. Since Jesus is a priest, He too must preside over sacrifices, tithes and offerings which are all roles of the priesthood. This was the argument from verse 1.

Now, the priesthood of Jesus cannot happen on earth since there were men who already occupied the position here on Earth. Hence, Christ is a priest in heaven with an eternal priesthood which was established by an oath:

"Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

To further authenticate the priesthood of Christ, the Levitical priesthood was referred to as 'Men that die who receive tithes." But Jesus receives (present continuous) tithes up there (in heaven) of whom it is accounted that He lives forever. This means the tithing would be as eternal as the priesthood.
Quoting the whole chapter does not mean tithe is the focus. Study Hebrews 7 deeply and ask God to reveal the intent of the author to you. Tithe was never the focus instead it is about our salvation that comes from the priest that never dies. This is the point.

Please, don't paint God in a different light. It is well.

Keep twisting the scriptures. Hebrews 7:8 was written in plain language. No allegory. No figure. No intended meaning. The meaning is absolutely literal.
That's why you need to read Hebrews 7 completely to understand the author's intended meaning alone and not lift a verse and give it a different meaning.

The Author's intended meaning alone stands. If you dwelt on tithe you will miss what the author was driving at. Tithe wasn't the focus neither was it a teaching there but we having an eternal priest who cannot die and all can come to Him for salvation.

Who receives tithes in heaven?
Nobody don't twist Hebrew 7:8 to means this. Understand the author's intended meaning which point to death and not tithe. Christ reigns forever but for the earthly priests (who received tithe), they all died.

God wants us to give to him now. This is why many could sell that they had (not 10%) and drop at the disciples' feet for needs to be met. This is why God now loves a cheerful giver and not cheerful tithe giver.

Tithe has been exchanged for giving.

Tithes are not used as sacrifices. Cummins, mints and anise couldn't be the only things the Pharisees tithed. They were followers of Moses, hence, they tithed the things Moses commanded.

Yes, Hebrews made a comparison between the imperfect priesthood of Aaron, and the perfect priesthood of Melchizedek.

The emphasis here is this:

"Here, men that die receive tithes. But there, He (Jesus) receives it, of whom it is said that He lives." This statement cannot be annulled.

Now, Jesus said mercy, justice and faith are more important. He knew some people will use that statement to say tithing is not necessary. There why the statement ends with:

"These ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone."

All therefore are important, though the order of importance is still hierarchical.
Read your Bible. I quoted a Bible verse in my previous comment. Tell me if the Bible was wrong and you are right.

We only speak from the Bible and not impose our thoughts on the Bible.

So, if they were followers of Moses as you have said and they also had currency as a means of exchange (remember, the Bible says Jesus said give Ceasars what belongs to Ceasars. He did this after picking a coin), why then are we paying tithes of money? Remember, we also have crops.

Did you noticed that Hebrews 7 talked about Abraham tithing spoils (goods returns)? There was no emphasis on Tithing from Abraham on money.

Hebrews 7:8 which you just quoted didn't emphasise tithe. It emphasised death. The high priest which is the now Melchizedek and refers to Christ lives whereas the priest of then who collected tithe died. This is the author's intended meaning.

It never upheld tithe

No one brings into this law or its curse, as the new testament exchanges this with grace. Can I then enlighten you further? Grace has been speaking from the Old Testament. It didn't start from the new.

Yes, showing mercy, justice and faith is More Important , but that doesn't make tithing unimportant. Infact, Jesus emphasised that all must be practised.

Now, Abraham gave tithes. The emphasis on his tithing life was expounded upn in Hebrews 7. It wasn't a one-time thing. Even Jacob promised tithe in Genesis 38.

The things that the Pharisees tithed were not just plants. Jesus used them only as examples to show how faithfully they tithed. He wanted them to devote the same zeal in showing mercy and justice. Of course, Jesus did not condemn their tithing.

Additionally, do not forget that Hebrews 7 explains that the Aaronic priesthood where priests that die receive tithes was taken over by Jesus who represents the Melchizedenic Priesthood which is eternal. We're able to read in Hebrews 7 that today, after the abolishing of the Aaronic priesthood, Jesus now receives tithes in Heaven, and He lives forever.
Jesus never emphasised that tithing should be collected. He told us that there are more important things than this. The new testament exchanges tithe for giving.

Haba, why twist the Bible when we only speak when the Bible speaks and remain silent when the Bible does not speak? Show me what else the pharisees tithe outside mint, Cummins and anise. Please, show me from the Bible.

Also, we need to understand the author's intended meaning alone and not place any meaning on the word of God just to suit ourselves. Hebrews 7 focuses on the imperfect priest and Christ, the high priest without a fault who does not need to sacrifice anything for himself first before that of others. Also, in sacrificing for others, he paid the price once and for all through His death. Hebrews tells us how the priest of the old needed to collect tithe because part of it is used as a sacrifice (Numbers 18:26-30). We use Bible to explain the Bible and not come up with personal opinions imposed on the Bible.

Like I stated in the previous, it's expected of you to ask God for more insight.

We are to honour God by our giving and this is done in proportion of the way we value Him.

But scammer evil Adeboye claimed he raised 3 dead people just last week.

Just four days ago, at the birthday celebration of David Oyedipo, criminal pastor Adeboye narrated how a grand mother raised her 2 dead twins and their mother using a handkerchief and a little oil he gave the grandmother.

Three days later, his own son died. Now we are all expecting him to raise his son, but he is not doing that. It's either he can't or he was lying.

Adeboye remains the most evil and the most wicked scammer to have originated from Africa if not the whole world. He's worse than Bernard Medoff; at least the later scammed only wealthy investors. On the other hand, Adeboye uses scorched earth strategy. He scams the weak, the sick, the unemployed, students, politicians, refugees, the childless, the confused etc. He leaves absolutely nothing on his way.

RIP to the dead, but his father is an evil man
God permitted that the dead could be raised. If He wants to take His beloved home, no amount of prayers can retain such here on earth. Which emphasises that God has the final say.

Tithing was practised before Moses. It started with Abraham, and was a covenant practice for all children of Abraham.

Jesus said the Pharisees should have practised tithing without neglecting mercy and and justice.

Jesus and the apostles didn't collect tithe because they had no Churches, only fellowships. The apostles fellowshipped in the synagogues.

Now, read the following verse from Hebrews 7:8.

And here men that die (Aronic priests) receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

The priests receive tithes here but Jesus receives it in heaven.

Abraham you mentioned paid a tithe of the goods recovered and not what he owns or earns. Also, did you notice that it was just goods and nothing else? Jesus did not in anyway attest to paying tithe rather he accused them of tithing mint, anise and cummin but forget the MORE IMPORTANT which is to show justice, mercy and faith. Did you also noticed what the pharisees' tithe are? They are all plants (seeds).

What the new testament came with was giving as an exchange to tithing. You are to give base on how you honour God. It could be 10, 20, 30, 40% or any amount you can. All these must be done based on the value you placed on God. Giving was an exchange to tithing. You will noticed this from what the Disciples did. The emphasis was on giving and never tithing anymore.

Giving to God, to the needy, mission and God's servants are the respective forms of giving.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Adeboye Preaches At ‘Holy Communion Service’ After Son, Dare's Death by Nauttyprof(m): 2:23pm On May 07, 2021

He did not have to do that.

There is time for everything; it is God and not Pastor Adeboye doing the work.

If Jesus could weep publicly before resurrecting Lazarus, groan and express His fears before the crucifixion and express his sorrow loudly when God forsook Him at Calvary, I don't see why Pastor Adeboye could not take sometime off to grieve.

This keeps turning men of God into gods of men.

God will give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Amen.


Modified: just learnt that it was a pre-recorded service. God will console them and heal their broken hearts.
Whether it was pre-recorded or not, he knows that death is not the end of a man as there is a place called heaven for God's people. God took Pastor Dare home.

Now, to the instances you quoted on expressing sorrow as you have said, it didn't stop Jesus from fulfilling God's assignment over Lazarus and also in redemption work.

No one is with Pastor Adeboye when he is with his family and can't say if he didn't grieve over this loss but it doesn't stop God's assignment. I know that this is a painful loss to him.

When you read how some hymns were composed, you will understand what Christianity entails. Start with 'It is well with my soul'. We don't twist the scriptures for personal gains.

The right step has been taken
Updates will be released by social media
Thank you
Twisting the whole thing again. How has the update helped the case? Or are you referring to how they are accusing Princess on her part in this whole thing?

They should have taken right steps and shouldn't have created noise on social media.

With all due respect
There is an evidence!
If she didn't record it no one will believe her
She recorded it so people like you will not say it is based on emotions
She obviously will get a competent lawyer princess is not a daft person
If we don't make that noise on social media, the matter will be buried on arrival
Social media atm is our biggest weapon to fight the high class in the society
If everyone drag the accused and their political godfathers, the police will have no choice
They will do proper investigation
So enough of the "social media noise"
We need to make that noise
So join us to make that noise
Let it trend everyday
That girls life matter
She someone's daughter, future wife, mother and helper too
We need to help her so she can help others too
I hope you read my comment well and understood what I was driving at. How did social media help that of Timi Dakolo's wife?

What's the essence of noise as if Judges sit or pass judgement based on noise. Have you also seen why placing it on social media is having an effect on Princess being the girl's guardian? Or why did you think Princess had to release a statement through her lawyer over the said video?

This case does not need noise. If you had listened to every sincere analyst on this matter and I meant lawyers and child right protection agents, you will understand better.

Justice is not gotten through noise but taking the right steps
