If PDP is serious about there future, they should get their balls together and sack this man
Sack him? They won't dare it. Because the party will end.

Have you forgotten that Wike and Fayose were the only 2 people that fought for PDP in 2015 - 2017. These 2 spent so much money especially Wike to make the party remain relevant. At a point only Wike was given Buhari hot hot.

Wrong! undecided

The power that was given by Jesus Christ of Israel was given as a sign to follow those who belong to Him. Being a follower of Jesus Christ of Israel is an eternal walk for His followers, hence, the sign is itself an eternal sign, not a temporary sign as you pretend. Recall, the same Jesus Christ of Israel also declared that His Word is EVERLASTING — Eternal in orientation. This implies even that which He gives is eternal. undecided

Stop fishing for excuses for why what Jesus Christ of Israel gave to His followers DOES NOT feature in your religion of Christianity, as the obvious answer is that your religion has no connection whatsoever to the movement started in Jerusalem of Judeah by Jesus Christ of Israel— a movement that comprised only Israelites. undecided

I think you are wrong.
From that account in Acts 2:1-13...
The Spirit gave them utterance. The spirit can not give you utterance to speak an earthly language. The people actually spoke shabahbahbah! & it was miraculously interpreted by the Holy Spirit to all the hearers in their own various native languages. Because they were all in one accord or one spirit.

If they actually spoke known earthly languages, they would not have been accused of being drunk with wine in vs13.
The accusation was made because what they spoke sounded like gibberish.
Read from verse 5 to 8. They were not speaking unknown languages

Ezemann:
If you want to teach about speaking in tongue, the right scripture to use is the 1cor 14:2 it says New International Version
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. The book of Act is a jounalistic book. we cannot build doctrine with the book of Acts.
The go further and make reference to any of the disciples or apostles that did spoke in tongue. The speaking in tongue was an event of Pentecost 33ce. Point to an occasion where the apostles spoke in tongue that is not related to the event of Pentecost 33CE

Most of the tongues spoken is directed to God and it's for EDIFICATION and not for interpretation. Well all these controversies is because such tongues is for individual prayer closets or to be prayed silently in public.

mastermaestro:
At least before you come boldly to lecture people on Biblical doctrines, study diligently first.
There are two kinds of tongues. One, of men, and the second, of angels. As far back as the Old Testament, the second tongue which is prevalent today was known to GOD'S messenger.

Read these verses below and learn so you stop misleading others.

1 Corinthians 13:1 KJV
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Daniel 5:5,7-9,24-28 KJV
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. [7] The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. [8] Then came in all the king's wise men : but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. [9] Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. [24] Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. [25] And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. [26] This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE ; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. [27] TEKEL ; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. [28] PERES ; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
In the book of 1 Corinthians, Apostle Paul was referring to a scenario. He was only trying to paint a scenario to tell how weighty love can be. He didn't say he did it and there was never any record of his activities or any of the apostles or disciples that spoke a language that no human understands.

The major reason why the anointing made the disciples spoke in tongues was for the purpose of spreading the good news so that language won't be a barrier. With this they can speak and preach to others around who didn't understand jew.




What happened in Daniel wasn't a language and it wasn't speaking in tongues. It was a code that need an expert (this time Daniel) to decode. It was written not by human just like more or less a programming language. It wasn't for public consumption.

In the day of Pentecost, the disciples spoke in tongues. But they spoke known languages. They were speaking different languages that can be interpreted by others who understood those languages. So the languages are not newly manufactured.

Ask your pastor which country or tribe speak that language that he is speaking. Ask if there are other people who can interpret it apart from he himself

2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Coupe and the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 Coupe.




1. Reliability & Common Issues

#### **2016 GLE 450 Coupe 4MATIC**
✅ **Generally reliable** for a luxury SUV, but has some known issues:
- **Air Suspension Problems** (AIRMATIC leaks, especially in older models)
- **Electrical Gremlins** (infotainment glitches, sensor failures)
- **Transmission Hesitation** (9G-Tronic can be slow to shift in some conditions)
- **Turbo Lag** (minor delay in throttle response)

🔧 **Maintenance Tips:**
- Regularly check the air suspension for leaks.
- Keep up with transmission fluid changes (often overlooked).

#### **2017 Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 Coupe**
✅ **More performance-focused, slightly higher maintenance needs:**
- **Same AIRMATIC issues** (but AMG-tuned suspension is stiffer, which may wear faster)
- **Brake Wear** (AMG models have larger, performance brakes—pads & rotors cost more)
- **Engine & Turbo Stress** (higher boost pressure than GLE 450, but still a robust engine)
- **Exhaust Valve Issues** (some reports of rattling in AMG exhaust systems)

🔧 **Maintenance Tips:**
- Brake jobs will be **more expensive** (AMG brakes use larger, performance-oriented components).
- Use **premium fuel only** to prevent carbon buildup.

**Winner for Reliability?**
The **GLE 450** is slightly more reliable due to less performance strain, but neither is a Toyota—expect **higher-than-average maintenance costs** for both.

---

### **2. Ownership Costs (Maintenance, Repairs, Insurance)**

| Cost Factor | **2016 GLE 450 Coupe** | **2017 GLE 43 AMG Coupe** |
|------------|----------------------|--------------------------|
| **Annual Maintenance** | **$800–$1,200** (Mercedes luxury tax) | **$1,000–$1,500** (AMG parts are pricier) |
| **Brake Job** | ~$600–$900 | ~$1,200–$1,800 (AMG brakes) |
| **Tires** | 20" tires: ~$1,000/set | 21" AMG tires: ~$1,500+/set |
| **Fuel Economy** | 17 MPG city / 22 MPG highway | 16 MPG city / 21 MPG highway |
| **Insurance** | Moderately high (~$1,800/yr) | Higher (~$2,200+/yr, AMG premium) |

**Key Takeaway:**
- The **GLE 43 AMG** costs **~20-30% more** to maintain due to performance parts.
- **Tires and brakes** are the biggest differentiators.

---

### **3. Depreciation & Resale Value**
- **GLE 450 Coupe** → Depreciates **faster** (less demand than AMG).
- **GLE 43 AMG** → Holds value **better** (AMG badge helps).

**Current Used Prices (2024, approx.):**
- **2016 GLE 450 Coupe:** **$25,000–$35,000** (depending on mileage)
- **2017 GLE 43 AMG Coupe:** **$32,000–$45,000**

**If you plan to sell later, the AMG will lose less value.**

---

### **4. Which One is the Better Buy?**
| **Choose the GLE 450 Coupe if…** | **Choose the GLE 43 AMG if…** |
|--------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| ✅ You want a **smooth, luxurious ride** | ✅ You prefer **sharper handling & sportier feel** |
| ✅ Lower maintenance costs matter | ✅ You don’t mind **paying extra for AMG prestige** |
| ❌ You don’t care about AMG branding | ❌ You’re okay with **higher tire/brake costs** |

---

### **Final Verdict**
- **Budget-conscious + comfort-focused?** → **GLE 450 Coupe**
- **Enthusiast who wants sportier performance?** → **GLE 43 AMG**

If you’re looking at **long-term ownership**, the **GLE 450** is the more practical choice, but the **GLE 43 AMG** is more fun and holds value better.

Tottenham is better managed than Chelsea. The risk in investing in Chelsea is high. If any mistake/miscalculation or unforseen occurrence happen to Chelsea, it will be devastating

Lazy9jaYouth:
Chelsea FC once struggled to get sponsors (which would have offset some of their expenses, hence their worth), that was why the club invested in young players with the hope of future gain in the transfer market.
But for now, Cole Palmer seems to be the only player who could generate the needed income via transfer.

N.B
Trophies don't bring the needed income, Transfer Market does.
The players are still considered as asset and their value is the reason Chelsea made top 10.
