How does that scripture translate to Jesus hating poverty, he wasn't even talking in what you quoted.

Inductive Bible study tells me that, sir/ma. If he wishes that you prosper above everything else, it means he doesn't want you to be poor.

I agree with him on one point...Jesus hates poverty (3 John 1:2). Everything else, I disagree. That Jesus hates poverty doesn't mean he hates the poor people, he infact loves them. Jesus hates sickness, does that mean he hates sick people? These endtime prosperity preachers will lead many astray because of their love for money. May God change their hearts!

I was flying between 2 American cities last week and I was so afraid with my wife and 3 kids all on board. The spate of crashes in the US lately is unprecedented. Even the Nigerian airspace is now safer than the American air space. Something is wrong and over the next one year, i m just gonna be driving from Canada to the states. I ve got just one life, I beg!

When I hear people talking like this, I just wonder exactly what they are trying to achieve. Ibiyomie doesn't want you to japa because that will affect his own tithes and offerings. Meanwhile I won't be shocked if his own children studied or even currently live abroad.
If you are in America, UK or Canada legally and you either skilled with your brain or hands, you will ball. If you don't have those skills but you are ready to work, other jobs are there to make you comfortable.
I have friends who run real estate in Nigeria and they tell me that over 70% of their clients live abroad!
Do you see how much diasporans remit into the Nigeria economy yearly Dey play!
Boyz are balling here. if you mingle rightly, you will see boys who are flourishing in IT, medicine, logistics, real estate; name it!
In conclusion, if you are doing well in Naija and have no intention to japa, please stay and make the best of the situation. Nigeria is also a great country. I will never cast aspersion on my country but sleep and death can not be compared.

I am not a Tinubu fan but this "lopsided"appointment, I love it. That's one thing he does that I am happy with. What seized Ndume's voice when Buhari northernized the country, sacrificing competence and integrity on the alter of ethnic bigotry. Let the North feel the pain too.

Yes, one of my children is a Nigerian, American and Canadian and no immigration issues when traveling.

Now I am convinced that IBB will never rest in peace when he leaves this earth. The rest of his years will be in pain. Shameless Manipulator! He had it all and threw it all away. He would have been the 2nd military man to hand over to the civilians and he would have had very bright prospects of returning after 8 years as civilian President buy he threw it all away. Shame!!!

I am so excited to read this news. I worked on OPL 2007 and the conversion to OML 150. God bless Nigeria.

Ohraykon:
why? Unless you are a juju man or atheist. Are you one? If you are Christian or muslim forget it!

Trust me, I am not a religionist but it is my desire to chat with you.

Ohraykon:
you mean your useless god who abandoned africa and its people

I ll like to have a private chat with you. Will you be open to that?

Your submission still makes you a slave to money... If I ever wish to relocate to any Whiteman land, seeking money or "better life" will NEVER BE ONE OF the reason.

I travel for tourism purposes and to studies other cultures, not seeking whatever is called "better life or opportunity"

Wow! Wonderful reasons for traveling! Have you traveled to all the tourist sites in Nigeria or you don't know we have so many? Why do you need to study their culture? you want to be "enslaved" It's okay if you don't desire better opportunities but don't judge those who do. It's their choice. How convenient of you to switch your argument to "slave of money". I guess you are a slave of poverty, abi?

Offpoint1:
Funny the fact you think modern day slavery has to do with work or profession.

On the other hand, are all the skills not needed in my fatherland? Can I be all of those in my fatherland?

Slavery starts from thinking a Whiteman land is superior to yours... That's the first step of slavery and the worse of it all, because it is mental.

Slavery is when you box yourself in a corner and think it's only when you remain in Nigeria that you are free. I stand on the fact that you might even be enslaved there in Nigeria but have an illusion that your are free simply because you are in your country of birth. Slavery is in many forms. You have to be a deep thinker to understand my line of argument. Tell a Doctor who makes Twelve million per annum in Nigeria, relocates to Canada, becomes licensed and starts making $350,000 (400 million naira) per annum, to return to Nigeria and use his skills, and see the response you ll get. Bro/Sis, free your mind and explore life to the fullest. BTW, I worked in upstream oil and gas at various levels before leaving and I can always return when I want. It's just good to have options. If you relate with people at the top in Nigeria, you will ask yourself why they all have their families abroad. Why do they all have a 2nd passport? Think!

Offpoint1:
Lol, you probably won't know me.

God forbid that I Leave my father land to go slave any Whiteman land for forever reason.

I've turned down 5 opportunities both from Nigerians and foreigners.

I will take N10,000 over any Whiteman land visa

I agree it doesn't make sense to go and slave in a foreign land or even in your own land. But it will shock you to know how many Nigerians are Directors and Vice Presidents in Canadian and American corporations. So, not all Nigerians are slaving here. If you are skilled and can prove it, then the opportunities are boundless.

That said, there is however a problem which is that most Nigerians are actually slaving in Nigeria, they just don't know it. If you do an object retrospect, you will understand. All the best!

Are either your parents Canadian or part of those who believe paper makes one a citizen?

I am sure you will jump at the opportunity to have that paper.....lol

Offpoint1:

Not sure I understand what you mean...

Ohraykon:
your inferiority complex stinks, the ancestors are ashamed of you!

Hmm! I feel your pain. Only God can extricate you from this cocoon of despair as I am not responsible for your predicament.

The Godswill Akpabio curse rages on! That guy should confess and beg Natasha ooo

It's days like this that I am thankful I am also a Canadian. At least I have a country to support at the World Cup being hosted here in North America!!!

To the full Nigerians, better luck next time!

Thank you

OBJ was honest enough to declare that he's unsure of his exact age due to the illiteracy of his parents. What about one man who knows his true age but choses to provide different ages for different purposes and different secondary schools for different political aspirations. God help Nigeria.

What i see here is the hand of Dr Deji Adeleke, the silent power. He has called his son, Davido to order. I just admire the man sha!

Two of Africa's finest. Unfortunately Nigeria will not allow their likes to govern. We don't like integrity with capability.

Yes, we need men but I think we need more of Technology and Intelligence!

I do not believe that Tinubu was not privy to Obasa's removal. What iI believe is that Obasa returned and threatened to sing like a canary and he knows too much so the President has had to backtrack, claiming he had no hand in his removal. This is the same technique employed by Ambode after EFCC tried to arrest him from hi Epe home but the indigenes resisted. Today, Ambode is being considered for a 2nd term. It's all politics and I hope Lagosians will win, not the politicians.

The "Pastors" should be arrested

Bola Shagaya is not that close to FA.

I don't have all the details but 15k per month child support while it looks quite high but for a practising doctor in US or Canada, it shouldn't be that crazy that you should kill yourself. The Judge must have seen he makes possibly 35k to 40k monthly before imposing that amount. He could have also appealed. I believe there's more to this. Again, I don't have all the facts.

[quote author=Lanretoye post=133942390]oh,I see that by burying your papa in ikoyi cemetery you have achieved something great in your life,what kind of a stupid person out of a reason will boast of cemetery because you want to claim an obscure useless life. I see that the government gave your family a national honor for burying your father at ikoyi,wetin chest beating and fake life will turn some people into,you can also say it is only your father's corpse that was buried

I decided to give your stupid comment the response it deserved. I mean, considering who you are, I do not expect anything reasonable to emanate from your obstinate thought process. You can't give what you don't have!

Nonentities like yourself do nothing but insult responsible people on social media because we choose to ignore. Today, I choose to respond until I confirm you have made that trip.

Lanretoye:
so money wey u suppose take get sense na him them take buy vault for ikoyi cemetery,no wonder why your brain is dead

At least I have money to buy something. What have you achieved in your life? BTW, did you change your mind about the trip? He's waiting to answer your questions. Abi, you are so poor that you can't afford Tfare? Let me know so I can fund you.

Lanretoye:
how much data do you buy for your father monthly?if data is not affordable for you, it is not food,don't be wiser than a fool

Since you are curious, you ll have to go and ask my father yourself at Ikoyi Cemetery. Farewell!

Lanretoye:
Where did the first news come from if you don't hate vehicles too because of accidents then you are a joker.

One reason I hate commenting here. Lots of dumb people that cheap data allows to be on social media!

Wait a minute! Doesn't Sharia law prescribe cutting of hands for Thieves? If so, we want Sharia throughout the country and the administration must start with the Politicians. 😀😀😀

This is why I hate flying with all my heart!!! I hate flying but I just do it cos there's no other option for some travels.
