ElsonMorali:
You are quoting another human being. Is he an authority on life and death and God's will?

I quoted the reason why Jesus died. Or is there another?

ElsonMorali:
If it is not God's will then they won't die. To say that something happens without God willing it is to commit a blasphemy.

Death is not the end of life in case you don't know. It's not even the worst thing that can happen to man.

There are worse things than death.

Don't let your pastor scare you with the idea of death.

Oh so God is cool with people dying in his religious houses? Why would he let that happen when the bolded already happened ?

vicardino:
Jesus died for the completion of his assignment, his main purpose of coming into this world was to die so that he could grant us victory over death amongst other things. Are you dying early to complete your own assignment?

JourneytoEL:
the answers you seek are beyond my level of spirituality and I'm reluctant to answer in order to avoid been wrong but based on my assumption, it strengthens the faith of many Christians, e. g I know someone who became very serious with the faith after reading about the bravery of Leah Sheribu,all of Jesus' disciples were matyred except John who did not die from his wounds(he was healed) and their bravery led to many conversions and the steady growth of christainity till the billions we have worshiping God today,as for their family, they are usually consoled with the Grace of the Spirit and the Faith their loved ones have inherited eternal life

It doesn't strengthen anything but weakens it. Example, worshippers got killed in the house of God. They were praying to Him and yet they died. Or perhaps on their way to the place of worship or out of the place. Do you know the number of people that have died in these circumstances? Must blood be wasted to strengthen whatever?

Regarding Leah, I strongly commend her for her bravery and I hope she returns safe in one piece. I doubt if a matured person would have done that, they would have done anything for their survival and return to their previous self when they get home safely.

ikemesit4477:
you know what am saying, learn to practice the peace you claim you are preaching and stop quoting me today is Sunday!

You haven't made any valid point, this is simply false accusations because you can't back up your claims.

I can as well twist your words and say

You know what am saying that Christians are violent and you should practice the peace you claim you are preaching.

We started this discourse less than an hour ago, how come you just realised it's Sunday?

JourneytoEL:
before we were formed in the womb he knew us and when we would go and how, if you read the book of revelations 6:9-12,it talks about the souls of those who have been slain because of the Word all gathered at a particular place and asking for justice on those who killed them, God replied that justice cannot be done until all the souls who are to die because of the Gospel are COMPLETE. that is to show you they are already a specific number of souls marked to die for Christ, in our generation death might be seen as a big deal but the truth is it should be the happiest day of a Christian and the highest honor to be martyred for Christ if that is what you have been called to do.

Why would souls be marked to die for God? Especially is his religious houses or on the way from there or to the place?
Why would he allow sorrow to come to the families of the deceased just to prove a point or two?

talisman35:
The present generation are in TROUBLE,gone are those days when Christians celebrates Salah with Muslim and Muslims celebrates Easther with Christian, our own traditional believers all celebrates festival together without having suspecting one another
Most of this generation don't read or even understand the Holly book rather,the man of God in the church or Musque are not telling members what the Holly book says about your neighbour.
Before religion was imported to this country we live in harmony and peace .We see our self as out-group and in-group I mean we are ethnocentric
it good to be continuous of what you eat but don't let us Drage religion into it.

Honestly, it has even gone beyond all these. All thanks to our religious leaders, the way and manner we take these imported religious serious while condemning ours is something else.

ikemesit4477:
I don't think so! You guys are so violent!

How are Muslims violent and chritisns aren't?

ElsonMorali:
Blasphemy.

Every death no matter how gruesome is accommodated in God's will.

Nothing that happens in this life is outside the will of God.

That man is a fake. You better change your church. He doesn't know what he's speaking about.

To suggest that some things can happen outside of God's will is to suggest that God is not Omniscient or Omnipotent. That is blasphemy.

So when people die in religious places such as Mosques, churches, synagogues et al, it's Gods will? Or when they die on their way or when trhey just finished praying to Him?

ikemesit4477:
If like you trust us, is left to you, but Christians have a soft heart you know that!

You also know that muslims have soft heart

userplainly:

Na so my guy. Religious folks are full of hate and bigotry.

ikemesit4477:
I like them as a person, but I don't trust them, so I can't eat their food, they can do and undo!

You don't trust them but you expect to be trusted by them right?
Why don't you trust them by the way?

Memyselfu2009:

Memyselfu2009:

Indirect tax. The levy against the telcos is one of the reasons why they over charge for data.

Memyselfu2009:

Religion misunderstood is poison.

greenhulk:
I also use Deezer but the sound quality of many of their songs are very bad. All the music on Spotify have good sound quality.

Yh spotify has good sound quality than deezer but I hate signing in everytime on Spotify before I can proceed and the limitations which isn't present on the PC version

Memyselfu2009:
May be you re using an Itel phone. But iPhone screen are not expensive pls go-to computer village and find out

Dont let comprehension be a problem bro

Memyselfu2009:
iPhone is also expensive but the screen just so cheap to fix

iPhone parts are cheap and are cheap to produce, the price is only expensive thanks to Apple but same can't be said about Samsung. Btw, what iPhone do you intend switching to from your S8?

Memyselfu2009:
With there expensive screen to fix my Samsung S8 screen 80k. I don't think I would go for Samsung any more

It's your choice to make but if you are gonna buy an high end phone from the top dogs then be ready to part away about the same amount

Memyselfu2009:
I would gladly get an iPhone the screen is not more than 20k

You must be talking about the cheap screens on their old phones

All these dummys castigating Ben Bruce seem to have comprehension problems.
It simply amazes me that all you guys all seem to think in one direction only.
I wonder why it appears so difficult to understand the very very important point that he is making or trying to get across.

The issue here is not about branding, but about the actual manufacture of the jerseys. After , Nike Does NOT manufacture anything. Nike contracts the manufacturer of all their products to sweatshops in Third World (shithole) countries in Guatemala, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc. A lot of Nike's products have been found to be made by child labor in slave like conditions in these countries.

The point the Ben Bruce is asking is that why shouldn't Nigerian labour, ABA manufacturing prowess to be specific, not have been considered for the manufacturer of Nigeria's official Jerseys, an enterprise that would have created jobs and $100m into our national coffers ?
Isn't such that one of the functions of a government ? To woo and encourage foreign investments , especially in an area in which we have local talent has been proven to be abundant ?
Are ABA manufacturing prowess not ripe or good enough for international manufacturing contracts from the likes of Nike and other sports wear brands ?

Isn't this where a responsible government that wants to create jobs come in and play a role ?

Ben Bruce is not criticizing Nike's branding or marketing rights. He is criticizing all of us, all Nigerians , our small mentality, our inability to think beyond the periphery.

The simple fact is Nike has been kitting Nigeria for God knows how long and they have their manufacturers where their products are manufactured. Secondly, why didn't he propose this idea when PDP was in power from 1999 to 2015?

Deezer on mobile and Spotify on PC, the latter isn't cool for mobile

frankmoney:
can you find salah's team mate ?

His teammates do the dirty works for him to score.

BlackManta:
CR7 played 10 less games than Messi this season.

Salah played 5 less games than Messi this season.

And yet Messi is ahead of them with only 1 goal.

Hmmmmm....

What does that tell you

It tells you that Messi isn't only about goal scoring but also create chances, assist his teammates etc. On the list is Suarez despite been awful all season long. I can't find Ronaldo's teammates on the list.


What does that tells you?

asuustrike2009:
When things fall in place you will see many Africans going back home. The ones that tries to change things are stabbed in the back,insulted and even jailed

lexy2014:
not really. If d young Mali guy didn't migrate to France, who would have saved d four year old baby that was hanging precariously from a balcony 5floors up a building in Paris?

They have a better society and help could still come from somewhere else. But Africa is loosing alot with the departure of Africans in these crazy numbers. It's even way less compared to the numbers that applied for visa legally and those that died on the road through other means
