way to go FC Barcelona. plenty talent abound in our country, they need to be harnessed.

Thank you for this. However, you have to understand that this is an instruction. Trying to interpret it your own way is clear dis-obedience to simple instruction.

whirlwind7:
Well, look at it this way: If you had to pay tithe every three years or monthly, it still boils down to the same thing.
If you are someone who pays it faithfully, it means you have to bring 10% of your earnings over a 3 year period, right?

Paying it monthly only means that you broke it down to smaller installments.
Same comparison can be made if you are paying your rents monthly or annually. You end up paying the same amount, only that monthly payment breaks it into smaller, manageable portions.

Now, tell me this. If you were given the option of paying tithes monthly, or in bulk after 3 years, which would you chose?
Assuming you will truthfully pay the correct amount every 3 years (that is, accumulated monthly tithe multiplied by 36 months) would you choose to pay it after every 3 years? I doubt this.

By the way, I'm not an advocate for tithe or no tithe. Just putting your argument into perspective. Have a great Sunday!

My pastor was preaching about Tithing today, and he backed his teachings with some chapters in the bible. Navigating from Genesis to Habakkuk, all the way to Deuteronomy, he was trying so hard to drive home his message on why we must pay our Tithes often (let’s say every end of the month) if we want the blessings of God to gravitate or abound towards us. I was listening with rapt attention until we got to Deuteronomy chapter 26.
We read through the first and second verse and up to the third and off we go again to another chapter in the bible all in a bid to make us see reason why we should pay our tithe atleast every month for salary earners and weekly or even daily for non-salary earners. Why the message was on, I choose to study that same Deuteronomy 26 and right there on the twelfth verse, there was a clear and simple instruction on when (time) and how we should Tithe.

Deuteronomy 26:12
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast giving it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gate and be filled;

The instruction in this verse of the bible is clear and concise as to the time and how we should tithe. Once in every three years and our tithes must not be for the Leviticus priest alone (I mean our pastors) but also to strangers, widows, fatherless and the vulnerable.

Not satisfied with that, I searched deeper in the bible and here again in the book of Amos 4:4, the bible repeated that same instruction:
Amos 4:4
Come to Beth-el, and transgress; at Gilgal and multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

Here again, the instruction was concise and specific. Your sacrifices could be brought daily, however your tithes should be after every three years

I really don't understand how you people think. This is a laudable project negotiated by Rochas, and to be embarked by shell. How sure are you that the state government does not have a stake in the project. What you don't know about puplic private projects like this one is that the state government may only provide one of the factors of production which is land for free for a stake. Stop bringing down others if you are not sure, except maybe you have the contract document as a proof.

Fully supported. Am pro-Buhari though

Happy new year nairalanders. This is our year of accomplishment Happy new year nairalanders. This is our year of accomplishment

Op where is mimiko?

this is exactly what the Ipob guys should have done long ago. it will go a long way to show how serious they are. even my brothers(yorubas) will not blink an eye so long as your protest is very peaceful. I am yoruba but I support Biafra.

It's Game over.

President Muhammad Buhari has finally come out to declare his preference for Senator Ahmed Lawan as the new Senate President, according to sources who attended a meeting between the president and members of the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Our sources said Mr. Buhari disclosed his preference during a meeting late last night with the NWC members at Aso Rock.

“The president explained to us that the North Central part of Nigeria has held the Senate Presidency for long enough. He therefore disclosed that the post should be allowed to move to another geo-political zone,” one source at the meeting told SaharaReporters.

In pushing for Mr. Lawan as the next Senate President, Mr. Buhari reportedly stated that, since the North East zone gave the party the second largest number of votes in Nigeria’s recent general elections, the zone should be allowed to produce the premier position at the upper legislative chamber.

One source added that the president also contended that it was important to entrust the Senate presidency with a person who is both a long-serving senator and a person of impressive personal attributes.

Our sources disclosed that those who attended the party meeting translated Mr. Buhari’s position as translating into a big setback for Bukola Saraki, who has been working to mobilize support to be elected as the new Senate President. “We now know that Mr. President does not favor Senator Saraki as the new Senate president,” one of them stated.

Our sources said the president ended the meeting by asking the NWC to convene a meeting of party legislators and leaders to choose a single candidate the Senate presidency no later than tomorrow.

SaharaReporters learned that the leadership of the APC has convened a meeting to be held at the International Conference Center in Abuja tomorrow.

The party’s national chairman, Odigie Oyegun, who is said to be leaning towards Mr. Saraki for the Senate position, is reportedly unhappy about President Buhari’s position preference. One party source revealed that Mr. Oyegun would want the party to hold a primary election to choose its Senate presidential candidate.

One of our sources said the APC’s national leader, Bola Tinubu, was also backing Mr. Lawan for the post of president of the Senate.

A Nigerian minister, Segun Aganga, PDP chieftain, Tony Anenih and the Governor of Benue state, Gabriel Suswam today departed Nigeria on a British Airways flight out of the Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport apparently to avoid getting caught.

A Nigerian minister, Segun Aganga, PDP chieftain, Tony Anenih and the Governor of Benue state, Gabriel Suswam today departed Nigeria on a British Airways flight out of the Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport apparently to avoid getting caught. The three were last seen boarding the BA flight scheduled for an 8:00am departure to London.

SaharaReporters learnt that more party officials and President Goodluck Jonathan’s aides, ministers and several appointees have either fled or planning to flee the country afraid that incoming President Muhammad Buhari will probe the administration of Mr. Jonathan and jail those found guilty of corruption. Last week, the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-madueke traveled on the same flight with Buhari to London, while on the six hour trip she made several attempt to start a conversation with Mr. Buhari, but the 72-old winner of Nigeria's presidential election known for his no-nonsense stance on corruption rebuffed all her entreaties. It is not known if she ever returned to Nigeria.

The wife of the Mr. Suswam, Yemisi, reportedly left yesterday to Houston in the US to avoid getting caught up in the sweep.

HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

Like me, what I did was to look for small products that has lite weight and I know will sell here which also the cost of importing it and price will not be more than N250 so I sourced and saw this product.

FIX IT PRO (Car Scratch Removal) see picture bellow….

The total price for the product for both importation and shipping was N250 so I placed an order for 40pcs and within 3days I got my order here in Lagos and sold it online and to neighbors for N1,500, which took me 5days to sell up and I made N50,000 within 10days from this single one alone.

Imagine if you do this for 3 times in a month that is sure N150,000 every month.



Now tell me is this not a lucrative business that has a high returns? or is the price in dollar affecting my returns?
I laugh when people tell me they will not import anything until they have up to N100,000….

Abeg if you they with me here make you help me tell such people say they are seating on along thing ooo

please which shipping coy did you use? more info please @the bolded

I am not a bigot and you will never see me descend so low to tribal hate or bashing

12 PICTURES FROM THE SILENT TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION AND MIRACLE IN OSUN

ADDRESS BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OSUN, OGBENI RAUF AREGBESOLA, AT THE RLG PRODUCT DISCOVERY DAY HELD AT RLG ADULAWO TECHNOLOGY CITY, BOLORUNDURO AREA, ILESA-AKURE EXPRESSWAY, ON THURSDAY MAY 14, 2015

Protocols,

The fruit of vision

It gives me great pleasure to be present at this momentous occasion of RLG Product Discovery Day.

On January 30 last year, we were here to commission this company, RLG Adulawo Technology City, a historic monument to the power of vision. But today, we have come to present to the whole world, the fruit of that vision.

When we came here last year, critics and naysayers were quick to allege that we were doing it for the purpose of the election that was to come up later in the year; that the whole idea was mere window-dressing and once the election was over, the idea would lapse into oblivion. We thank the Almighty God today that they have been proven wrong once again.

On what have they not be proven wrong? They predicted that O’YES would fail, they predicted that O’MEALS would fail, they even predicted that O’REAP would fail. Then of course, they predicted that we would not win re-election. They also predicted that the alliance that produced the All Progressives Congress (APC) would collapse in six months. Then, they predicted that the APC Presidential Candidate would not win the election. But we are here today celebrating the goodness of God for the success of our programmes and our electoral aspirations; and we can now laugh at their puerile and malicious predictions that are doomed to failure ab initio. When their predictions fail, their next move now is to cowardly attack our families.

This plant, a public-private partnership arrangement between RLG Ghana and our state is the biggest in Africa and the first of its kind in Nigeria. Given the potential of the electronic market in Nigeria, a firm like this is a necessity. When fully operational, it will be able to assemble all kinds of electronic gadgets starting from mobile phones, LCD televisions, desktop computers, laptops, palmtops, tablets, air conditioners, refrigerators, deep freezers and any electronic device imaginable.

From a recent release from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), as at February this year, there are 142.5million active mobile telephone lines in Nigeria. Every year, not less than 10 million lines are added to existing ones in an ever expanding national teledensity. This means that if a mobile phone has an average lifespan of three years, in the next three years, there will be a demand for 142.5 million phones, in addition to the new lines that would have been activated then. While it is practically impossible, in a capitalist world, for one manufacturer to corner this humongous market, we have the comparative advantage to capture a sizeable portion of it. No country in Europe, except Russia, has a market this big. This was our vision when we went into talks with RLG and we are happy today that the effort is bearing fruits.

A significant breakthrough for the company is that GSM service providers have also partnered with it. RLG has and has delivered an order for 50,000 phones from Airtel Nigeria. It has received the same order from Globacom. This company has provided direct employment for 150 workers. In the next phase of its operation which it has just entered into, it is providing indirect employment to 1,500 salespersons who will man the kiosks and other sales outposts for RLG products as it enters the mobile phone markets, first in Osun and then the South West and ultimately other parts of Nigeria.

The workers at this factory are graduates of Osun Youth Empowerment Technology (OYESTECH), trained by RLG, and are the ones who assembled the beautiful products on display here.

In the 1960s up till the 70s, only one or two houses would have a black and white television set in a whole street. Today, the story has changed. It is possible for a single house to have five. Our country is saturated with finished electronic products imported from all over the world, mostly from Asia, costing us billions of dollars every year and constituting a huge drain on our foreign exchange.

Our vision is that this company will bridge the gap, not only to assemble electronic gadgets locally but also to increase local content until it becomes manufacturer of finished products and suppliers of basic components like panels and semi-conductors to other manufacturers.

It is from this company that we will begin the assembly of our flagship e-learning device, Opon Imo. Our plan is to fulfil the needs of the public schools in Osun after which we will start taking orders from other states. Indeed, we have received multiple requests from many states of the federation and it stands to reason that more requests will come the moment we start taking orders.

Do not look down on small beginnings. Though this place looks small, but our vision is big. That is why we named this company RLG Adulawo Technology City. It is a city in the making. We have only planted the first seed, we are going to nurture and water this mustard seed and watch it grow into a mighty tree.

When we came into office, we advertised our intention to make Osun the ICT hub in Nigeria. It looked like a tall order then, but today, it is fast becoming a reality. Once again, we are grateful to the Almighty that we have fulfilled every promise we made to our people because God is with us. Any other promise we made that has not yet been fulfilled, we are going to fulfil it. We will not disappoint the people who trusted us and keep giving us the mandate to govern. It is not in our DNA to disappoint. Whatever challenges we are facing can only be temporary. Our commitment and passion to serve our people is undiminished. We remain resolute to lay a solid foundation and preside over the most peaceful and the most prosperous era in the annals of this state. We shall fulfil our mandate because our best is yet to come.

It is pertinent to thank profusely our partners. First, I must thank Mr Roland Agambire, the chairman of RLG Global, for his unwavering confidence in us. While we were negotiating the partnership for this joint effort, he stoutly resisted the formidable attempt of an oil rich south-south governor to hijack the project into his state.

I also thank Airtel for the company’s confidence in the products of RLG. I am especially grateful to the company’s CEO, Mr Segun Ogunsanya, for boldly identifying with RLG and agreeing to do business with us. Airtel is the fourth biggest telecommunications company in the world and must have considered RLG’s products capable of competing with global brands in the market and is willing to stake its reputation with us.

I will not forget Mr Bola Oyebamiji, the MD of OSICOL, the investment and business arm of the State Government that has been our representative at RLG.

Finally, I will like to thank every other person or organisation that has been involved in the success of RLG Adulawo Technology City. Your effort has not been in vain.

To this distinguished audience, I thank you for your kind attention.
Osun a dara!
