Dear Lord

Did you all notice how swift her judgement was because she killed the son of a politician? Not that I'm in support of what she did though but, dang, the pronouncement was too quick!

Now imagine if it's the other way round. The guy would have absconded or be shielded from the wrath of the law. I just laugh at the height of our judicial inconsistencies.

The woman though deserves what she got. To all of you raining abuses of me when I told you my life story (True Life Story of a Sex Addict) about what Deola did to me, I guess you should be eating your words now. The rate at which women are killing their male partners these days is alarming!

You're right except for what you said about adoption. Adoption is good. this is the reason - we understand that sometimes, a woman could be finding it difficult to conceive even when they've done everything right medically, meaning that there is nothing wrong with both husband and wife. even if something is wrong, they are allowed to adopt a baby legitimately with legal back up. we also understand that there are some children being dumped in the orphanage with little fund available to take care of them. so, the platform allows couple to have a baby, though not theirs biologically, and a motherless baby also to have a parent. you know, life is not always fair. In most cases, the baby grows up to take up the names of the foster parents. A good example that comes to mind with this kind of arrangement is the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs.
However, I do not support same sex couples adopting a baby because they would confuse the little child in life. LGBT is never a common sense option.

Good intention used badly. I didn't mean saying adoption itself is wrong; but when homos take advantage of it to propagate their evil lifestyle, then they've turned it upside down, hence evil.

It is not madness. It is what makes them Happy. I used to criticise those homo people before but I have stopped. Live and let live...

Sir, you need to check your heart and revive your conscience. Hapiness is not something you pick up on the floor, you must work at it. In marriage, God has ordained happiness only between a MAN and a WOMAN.

Trust me, whatever smile they put up for you all to see is a ruse, a camouflage, a facade. Go and google the so-called happy homo couple, they all ended and will end miserably because their union is AGAINST God's marital institution.

Procreation is the MAIN reason God institutionalised marriage. But humans have made it irrelevant and have created evil alternatives like adoption or one of them getting a male sperm implant, same man they don't want to live with. #Irony

I noticed that many don't get my use of adoption in this context. The case of adoption when applied to homos is a case of good intention used badly. I didn't mean saying adoption itself is wrong; but when homos take advantage of it to propagate their evil lifestyle, then they've turned it upside down, hence evil.

Condemning foreign attacks but quiet over ethnic purging going on right in his face.

Hello. I don't know if you're going to see this but I felt like pouring out my heart here. Trust me, it's been a long time coming.

Truth be told, Glo is the first telecommunication company in Nigeria with the Naija Spirit at heart, that is, Glo is a network that really understands what the subscribers really want. From your introduction of per second billing to broadband provision, you really are innovative. It therefore came at no surprise when your subscribers database skyrocketed. Well deserved if you ask me.

Then comes the increased* data plans that makes other telecommunications marvel. As in, while other network providers were reducing their data cap, you increased yours... or so it seems. This gesture carved you another niche, "The Grandmasters of Data." However, nothing appears to us as you claimed because there seems to be more to you than meets the eye.

Your supposed increased in data cap made you zap peoples' data. How on earth will one be charged 800MB for downloading two video clips that are 230MB each? The rate at which you deduct data leaves little to wonder. This is a deliberate attempt to defraud your subscribers. So, your supposed data increase is nothing but a SCAM!

Nobody forced you to increase the data cap in the first place. Why increase what you cannot maintain, sustain and be true to? Why lie to your loyal subscribers? You just soiled your credibility by playing on your subscribers intelligence. This is barbaric and inhumane.

You don't claim integrity by being cunning. I have a app that helps calculate the exact amount of data used. When I compare it to what you charge at the end of the day, I just laugh at the height of your insincerity and corruption. Many chose your network for its data cap thinking they'll enjoy more. Alas! Your supposed 3.2 GB don't last more than two weeks! Imagine how quickly they will leave once your barbaric manipulation comes to light.

Sincerity and integrity are the hallmark of trustworthiness for a telecommunication giant like you. You've failed woefully in this corridor.

Thanks for reading.

I thought the problem is with my phone or some apps zapping my data. I watched 3 videos on YouTube and boy, 1GB is gone! If I browse for let's say 30-40 mins, without videos, once I check my balance, almost a gig is gone! What's wrong with Glo?

Great list.

Akpororo is from ondo state sir, His dad is from ondo mum from Delta

Forgive my ignorance then. But the people of Ondo are of a mixed ethnicity.

NwaChibuzor2:
Yoruba comedians are naturally always very dry. Take this akpororo for example, I've paid for his shows several times but I'm always only treated to noise and shouts which are typical of yoruba thugs. This cruelty is far opposite of our beloved sons from Biafra, Bright Okpocha, Bovi and so many more. When it comes to comedy in Nigeria and Africa, we the people of Biafra take the lead.

Akpororo is not Yoruba sir. He's the from South-South

bahaushe1:
Read Quran. Allaah has summarized what He revealed to Prophet Moses (alayhis-salaam)-Torah, Prophet David (alayhis-salaam)- Psalms, and Prophet Jesus (alayhis-salaam)- Gospel, in the Quran.


Allaah, exalted be He, has confirmed the divinity of those scriptures in Quran and has told us that what what is being paraded today as Bible is not what He revealed to His noble servants (Moses, David, and Jesus -alayhi-mus-salaam).

The books have been corrupted hence the contradictions, Allaah is far above contradicting Himself.

May Allaah guide you to the religion He has chosen for this nation - Islam.

Oga, the Bible is what God intended it to be. God's word is infallible. It is complete and sanctified. And sir, Jesus is more than a prophet; He is God and Saviour. He is the final word of God.

It amazes me at first though that Muslims can FREELY comment on a Christian thread but we can't do the same on a Muslim thread, except we sign an oath but when I reflected, salvation is free in Christianity; open for all and sundry. However, same cannot be said of Islam where everything is of brute force: no free will conversion, once you are in you don't go out, if you have another view or talk ill of Muhammad you are dead (but Muslims insults Christ at will and nobody crucifies them), non-muslims are infidels that must be killed, raped, robbed and enslaved. So much for the peace in Islam.

Jesus is Lord of all, and the Bible is COMPLETELY CORRECT.

sonmvayina:
The new testament is not a continuation of the old testament, they are two different scriptures for 2 different religions....

The old testament is for Judaism, the romans stole it and used it as a foundation for their bull shit story about a dying man-god ...

They added it at the end of the Tanak, which is the Jewish scripture and called it the old testament...

That's why there is so much conflict between the 2..The God of the old testament is responsible for everything(both good and evil) while the god in the new testament is only for good things as the devil was now made a dual opposite of God..and given a new portfolio as the minister of evil..but in the old testament he was under the control of God,and only acts with the expressed permission from God..as told in the story of Job.
So the scripture being quoted from might be pagan scriptures from Rome..

Seek for knowledge sir. It will help you.

planetzoom:
I have been left wondering why there are a lot of inconsistencies in the Bible. One of such as these is even alarming and confusing.
i was going through the gospels recently and i found the portions that purpotedly referred to the old testament,only to find out its not in the old testament

John 7:38. ''if anyone believes,as the scripture saith,out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters''

Mathew 2:23''and he came and dwelt in Nazareth,that it may be fulfilled what was written by the prophets,he shall be called a nazarene'' (referring to Jesus)

i have painstakingly gone through the law and the prophets,both the torah,major and minor prophets. but i couldnt find these quotations anywhere. Can someone please explain or refer me elsewhere.could there be a typo mistake or what.please am confused.

My Brother, the Bible is God's word which can be understood through God's Spirit. I commend your sincerity and openness in trying to verify the scripture. All serious Christians should do this often so as to guide against heresies.

That you don't understand the Bible doesn't make it inconsistent. The Bible is the most accurately correct and profitable book there was, there is, and there ever will be. However, you need some tools also to understand it better. These tools include:

1. Context (Background)
2. Purpose (Why was it written)
3. Audience/Recepient (Who was it written to)
4. The Writer (His personality and country)
5. Language (Hebrew, Aramic or Greek).

P.S: I will advise you get yourself a book called Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem, Old Testament Survey and New Testament Survey by Danny McCain (hard copy or PDF) to augment your understanding.

The first scripture you quoted, John 7:38 has many referrals in the Old Testament. The purpose of the writer of the Gospel of John was to present Jesus as the true Messiah, the Logos (Eternal Word) and the Savior promised to save the Nation of Israel. If you read Isaiah 12:2, 3; 44:3, 4; 58:11, there are allusions to "water", "spring", "fountain". John was proving that Jesus is that living water. You may not find a direct quotation of John 7:38 in the Old Testament but, just as I have said, it was implied.

Your second quotation Matthew 2:23 is a problem of language. The Old Testament is written in 98% Hebrew Language and 2% Aramic; while the New Testament is written in Greek. And as we both know that human language has evolved, and is still evolving, it therefore poses a problem of finding accurate equivalent in modern day language. Besides, some names and places in the medieval period has no meaning to us today. For example, you can't use Shakespearean English like "thou, thine, ye, saith..." and so on in the 21st Century because some persons won't understand what you mean. Although Matthew 2:23 has no direct quotation in Old Testament, the closest word to "Nazarene" in Old Testament Hebrew Language is "the Branch", which can be seen in Isaiah 11:1. Similarly, Matthew 2:23 may be referring to a particular prophecy not canonized in our current collection of books that made up the Bible we are using today. Also, Matthew might be allegorizing the humble state of Jesus which has a starking similarities to the life of a Nazarene.

Finally, sir, when you read the Bible and you seem confused, consult the Holy Spirit for help, search for materials that can help you instead to concluding on half-baked truth. God bless you sir.

Shalom

It can't be too much, can it? That you eat rice today doesn't mean you won't eat it again.

ExInferis:
If his name is Yeshua, which in English is Joshua, why are you calling him Jesus?

You're worshiping the wrong messiah.

Yeshua is a Hebrew name. It has the same meaning as to the English rendition of Joshua, which means a saviour.

Jesus is the Greek equivalent of Joshua, which has same connotative meaning. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew while the New Testament was written in Greek.

I can only pray that their eyes of understanding be enlightened and the glory of the gospel shine through to them. Do you know how many people die everyday in the Arab World, not to mention the forcefully converted ones here in Africa.

Muslims know something is wrong with their religion but for fear of persecution, they stay put. Others remained therein for the selfish and lustful attractions Islam permits: killing, raiding, lying, polygamy, promise of wealth and the afterlife promise of 72 virgins if one dies a martyr.

Holy Spirit please continue to convict Muslim's and save them from eternal separation from You.

Apocalypses looming

You can earn same salary for 13 years! The info is a ruse and incorrect

Binta has just returned from the trip to her client. She looked all stressed up and needing rest. Her sorry eyes meeting my glowing face sent a complete contrast to the atmosphere.

Binta: What’s going on sir? You look excited?

Me: Excited? Well, I don’t know about that but I just got off the phone with someone I have been looking for.

Binta: Who is that?

Me: Ermmm…. A friend I met in church about five months ago. Things turned out rough between us and I have been restless to making it right. Thank goodness, I got hold of the person and everything seems to be back to normal again between us.

Binta: Forgive me if I sound intrusive, I sensed you’ve been careful not to reveal the person’s gender. So, if I may ask, is it a guy or a lady?

Me: What difference does it make really? Bottom-line is I’ve been able to re-establish contact with this person and everything is normal again.

Binta: If you say so sir. Actually I am on my way out for lunch. Do you mind joining me?

Me: I would have loved to but, as you can see, I need to tear down this mountainous task before me. Get me something on your way back, will you?

Binta: Sure I will. What do you want?

Me: Something I can munch.

Binta: Ok. See you.

If my sensors are giving me correct signals, I think Binta wanted in. Ever since we started talking, there’s been a rather sultry move from her towards me like, “what did you eat last night?”, “what can I get you?”, “you look great in those” and so on. My sensors are better been wrong o because for me, I am done playing games. I wanna settle down and lock up. I am not saying that every nice woman out there is a camouflage. Some are just being naturally kind and good to you with no strings attached. While there are a sizeable number of those who are hell-bent on getting what they want at all cost, there are still few women who are of good conscience and just wanna be good…for the sake of it. Of course, only time will tell whether I am right or wrong about Binta. Let me allow things play out the way they are presently. No matter how brightly the sun shines, there must be a dark spot somewhere.

My focus shifts quickly back to Lola and the prospect of meeting her this weekend…if her work permits though. What will I discuss with her? She already said I should stop the apology thing. Ok, we’ll talk about her work, her travels and whatever my instincts can hold on to while we discuss. It must not be boring too because I wouldn’t want this meeting to be the last. Like a man under spell, my wandering mind started comparing Lola and Binta. I began asking questions about who is more beautiful, sociable, intelligent, lovely, and, of course, a wife material. Like I said, I really wanna settle down and quit playing around:

Inside the valley of decision,
Lingers the lonely soul;
Eyes have seen more than derision,
All I see is a gaping hole.

Lingers my wandering mind,
To whom should I give it?
Beautiful bride I must find,
This time around, I am legit.

Enters Lola and Binta,
Two angels lurking around;
Seniorita and Mamacinta,
Options for me abound.

I must get it right, no mistakes
Believe you me; I know what’s at stake;
Femi, someone is at your gate,
Open the door before it’s too late!

“There you go sir.” Binta’s voice rescued me from my thought. She got me Plantain Chips and chilled malt. Well, that’s munchy enough for a busy Monday I conclude.

Me: Hey babe, thank you very much. You just saved a brother!

Binta: Really? I think the brother needs a second mother, don’t you think?

Me: (Shocked!) Excuse me?

Binta: Sarcasm. Enjoy yourself sir.

Me: Oh, I forgot… drama!

Agreed, every part of me has been looking out for a chance to apologize to Lola for my ungentlemanliness the other night. It was a terrible feeling I looked forward to correcting. Sadly, Lola never gave me the chance to right my wrong. Five months have passed felas and out of the blue sky, she resurfaced again. Whatever feeling of euphoria I was cooking up with Binta came crashing down. I wasn’t in my right senses any longer. Like a flash, the drama that happened that night in the church played itself out right in front of me in 7D. I became so lost in thought and restless. Those who are very observant noticed I wasn’t myself that morning. Thanks to God, Binta had left to meet a client. Else, you know women now. Them sabi unravel mysterious things. I was in this semi-melancholic mood when a thought came to me, “go check the register at the receptionist desk.” I rushed down to Rashidat with the hope that perhaps Lola dropped her contact in the register…

Me: Hey Rashidat, who did you say dropped this again? (As if I don’t know)

Rashidat: Full name Omolola Rebecca Adetunji

Me: Interesting. Did she enter her name in the register?

Rashidat: Errmm… let me check. (She flipped back and forth before saying…) Yes, she did. She entered her email and…

Me: What about her phone number?

Rashidat: …phone number.

Me: (After a huge sigh of relief) Please, may I have it?

Rashidat: Sure sir.

Like a mighty rushing wind, I memorized Lola’s number as dictated by Rashidat and went back into my office. I brought out my phone and dialed the number. Here is what ensued:

Lola: Hello?

Me: Hello. Is this Lola?

Lola: Who is this?

Me: Sorry I need to confirm if I’m on to the right person.

Lola: Sure. This is Omolola Adetunji of (introduces the name of her organization)

Me: Thank you Jesus!

Lola: Excuse me?

Me: Apologies. I didn’t know I was sounding loud. My name is Femi Dawson. Five months ago we met at a Youth Programme in….

Lola: Oh, the man who changed my chair! Did you get my message?

Me; Yes I did. That’s why I am calling to apologize again for that night. I have been looking for you since that incident, hoping to truly apologize and tell you how sorry I am for being so stupid.

Lola: Hey! Don’t be too hard on yourself now. The fact is that I was really angry. I considered waiting till the end of the programme will be a complete waste of time. So I left. As fate would have it, I had to travel two weeks after that day on official business trip with my boss. I just came back last week. I figured you would have been looking all over for me. Fortunately for me, I ran into the Youth President of your church who told me where you work. So I sent you the little card to call a truce.

Me: (Deep sigh) Wow! You have no idea how disturbed I have been since then. It was a miracle when I saw your name on the little paper that came with the card.

Lola: It is well. So, how did you get my number?

Me: The register at the reception

Lola: Oh! I thought I was going to see you on Friday. I had registered my name and contact only to be told you’ve left few minutes later.

Me: Eyah. Well, thank God you registered your contact. Once again, please accept my apology.

Lola: Funny! I told you it’s over. Please no more apology; you’re making me feel uncomfortable here.

Me: Sorry about that. Can I ask you for a favour?

Lola: Favour you say?

Me: Yes, favour.

Lola: Well, it depends on the kind of favour you wanna ask plus I doubt my ability to give it

Me: Not a big deal really. I am sure you can handle it.

Lola: Well, if you say so; shoot.

Me: How about we hook up this weekend at any place of your choosing and the convenient time.

Lola: Wow! You are really pushing this Mr. Dawson

Me: Please, call me Femi

Lola: It is ok. Let’s see how this week runs out. I’ll get back to you latest Thursday evening

Me: That’s fine by me. I’ll wait for your call.

Lola: Ok. Do have a lovely week Femi

Me: You too Lola.

Phew! That went well I guess? What a lovely way to start your week. I was in this happy mood when I heard a knock on my door. Guess who?
