Are you sure you are not logging into an old account?

I have just the one profile.

HELP!!! Please!! Urgent advice needed!!!

I submitted my EE application end of July 2020. Last week I wanted to update some more info, only to log into my profile and see I had no application on my dashboard (see attached image)

What do I do?? Do I apply again?

Government is always looking for ways to generate funds.

If truth be told, taxing the church accounts seems the next logical step. Those accounts are stacked. Plus one should also audit the accounts of the GOs.
The churches in Nigeria are firmly sold out to the spirit of money. Else, I do not see what the kerfuffle is about. Christianity, especially in Nigeria, has firmly departed from the teachings of Jesus. Sure Christ is still preached here and there, but the figurehead is always Pastor This and Pastor That and Daddy This and Daddy That. They are the ones in charge, not God, not Christ. Them. And they are firmly controlled by the Spirit of Money.

If they are not, let them offer to donate their entire year's tithe to cater for the truly destitute in their community and/or state. I am sure God wouldn't mind...

Humans always look for people to blame for their shortcomings. But, like always, they blame the registered 'bad dog' simply because they fear what will happen if they assign responsibility of the owner of said 'bad dog'.
Everyone blames Satan for everything. It's easy to do. The responsibility must always pass to someone else.
But Satan did not create us, God did. And we were perfectly made, body and soul. Yes, we did disobey God and we have been determined to do things our way since then. Laws guide interaction among us, but these laws can evolve.
Once upon a time, there was the 'old testament'. Now there is a 'new' one. If scripture has God saying he will write His Laws in our hearts, who says there isn't a 'newer' testament being drafted.
Anyway, I digress.

We keep saying fornication is a sin before God. There are other sins: lying, stealing, murder etc but somehow we focus on sex. Why? Have we not been told not to judge others? Can we just let God do the judging? Or have we realized that He has so much mercy and just does not care about such things anymore, so we would love to act in His place (usurpation of His authority)?

Yes, everyone wants to be relevant so they go about quoting whatever scripture seems to feed into their message. Allow God to do the judging. Read your scripture, yes. Do what it says, yes. But keep your opinions about who and who are sinners to yourself. If need be, pray for them to change. If you absolutely must, feel free to engage such persons in conversations. but don't come here and be judging people or spouting your opinion on sin, regardless of if it is popular or not.

Allow God to judge.

Choice ke? We only have an illusion of choice. You can choose when ALL the options are available for you, not with some hidden. Your degree of choice is related to the amount of options you have. For example, if you are given options A to D and you friend is given options A to F, your friend can choose E or F, but you can't due to the fact that it was not part of your options in the first place.

So, choice is an illusion. This is made more evident when someone other than you is pulling the strings....

My earnings on givers forum was wiped since yesterday i cant get help and support is not responding I'm really worried

After patiently waiting to be matched, I accrued 50% extra. But when I put in for GH, only 30% showed........then I couldn't log in again. First MMM now this one. Na wa o!!!

So, after noticing irregularities in my account statements, I decided to write firstcontact on their excessive debits. Imagine debiting account maintenance charge of like N250 (minus VAT) when total outflow from your account was just 21k. Plus the 'monthly charge' which does not come monthly. I took them to task about a month ago. After several reminders to them, I drafted a letter and sent to my domiciled branch. Part of my gripe was the account maintenance charge they debited from my savings account. That letter was delivered two weeks ago. Yesterday, I got the mail as seen in the attached picture.

Did anyone get this mail as well? Also, has any other bank started charging account maintenance on savings accounts?

I keep wondering why did God even create the tree of life in the garden of Eden in the first place if He didn't want man to sin..

Some say its intentional... if it is, why was He so displeased to the extent of placing a curse on them...
He created us as man.. not as gods or heavenly creatures.. so of course he was easy and prone to falling for temptation.. so I assumed He knew from the start while creating him, that man would fall by eating the forbidden fruit...
so why bother creating it and then cursing man when it is believed He knew he would fall.. (that's the part that makes it look unfair) .. its similar to setting a concealed trap right in front of us..

I'm confused honestly ..

contributions are welcome

Unfortunately, there is no good answer to this puzzle. There are and always be arguments for and against Adam because of the orientation of various beliefs. Adam had a choice, yes. He chose to accept what the serpent said as true and went ahead to eat the fruit he was warned not to eat. The consequences therefore were a direct result of the disobedience exhibited there, according to the story. But, no argument has been made to the effect that, If God has always been presented as All Merciful and Loving, wouldn't forgiving Adam (and Eve) been the merciful and loving thing to do there and then? No apologetic really wants to write that the serpent was right (God DID confirm what the serpent said was true). They focus on the fact of the 'you shall not surely die'. Well, inasmuch as everyone says Adam had a choice to not accept the serpent's words, God did have a choice NOT to punish Adam. The choice was not exercised, instead the punishment was upheld. Note that the enactment of the punishment was banishing them away from the tree of life, from which they would have eaten what could make them immortal (hence, proving what the serpent said to be true. Eating the tree of knowledge would have led to eating of the tree of life and hence, no death).

So the question really is about the choice you make, who you are really. Your true self is revealed when you don't have anyone to answer to. Adam must have wondered what that power would have felt like, being like God, knowing good from evil. For some reason, God put the knowledge within reach but told Adam not to find out. When we get to heaven or somehow have access to God the way Abraham once did, I intend to ask Him why He chose to watch his beloved creation succumb to the very thing we as Christians are striving to be - to be like Christ (who is God).

The above didn't answer your question, did it?

You Christians are just so obsessed with Jesus. Instead of focusing on the MESSAGE, you people placed priorities on the MESSENGER. THIS IS BLASPHEMY! And on the last day, Jesus himself will deny you people because he won't allow you people put him in trouble.
Jesus Christ is not God. Jesus christ is only a messenger of God almighty.
stop deceiving yourselves with bullshıts and go and look for the truth Jesus talked about. You Christians are just hypocrites. You condemned many laws of the old testament. Jesus never condemned the laws, in fact, he said that he came for the fulfillment of the Mosaic laws:
Mathew 5:17-20 reads:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
These are Jesus’ words, from his lips. But what did Christians say? What do they believe? Do they talk about the fulfillment of these laws?
They better be because if they don’t, according to Jesus, “they shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven”.
Jesus teaches the unity of God; the oneness of God. In
the 12th chapter of Mark, it was reported that a man came to Jesus and asked him: “which is the first of the commandments”? and Jesus answered: “The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.”
Yet, most Christians says

Jesus is God. It’s an amazing
situation. Jesus says: The Lord our God is one Lord; Christians says: no, it is the trinity in the god-head. Contradicting the message of Jesus. Nowhere from the lips of Jesus, did he utter trinity! And that is the core problem of the churches: they preach what Jesus never preached. In fact, Christianity went on deifying Jesus. They say Jesus walked down the Palestine as a divine being.
The question here is, did he says he is God? Did he claim to be God? Did he says am god worship me? There is not in any version of the bible where explicitly Jesus says
listen everybody: I am god! He never make such claims.
In fact, he rebukes such claims.
In Mark, 10 and Luke 18, when a certain ruler asked
him, what to do to inherit the eternal life, Jesus says to him: “Why callest thou me good?
none is good, save one, that is, God. He didn’t even want
to be called good much less god. But did the christians
follow this instruction? Not at all! In fact, they called him god.
I wonder if Jesus was present today how he is
gonna react to this blasphemy. Probably too tense. As a Prophet and a messenger of Allah , Jesus explicitly
declares in the 8th chapter of john: "I have not come on my
own; but he (God) sent me."
He says further, “my father is greather than I.” Jesus’ mission was to convey the message given to him by his
Lord. He was no more than a messenger. He says:
I can't of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own
will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
The teaching of Jesus is not something new; it’s a kind of transition from the earlier teachings beginning with
Abraham. If we take prayer for example, how the
previous prophets pray to God, we will witness a clear consistency in their message.
The bible tells us: quote:
“And Abraham fell on his face and pray” genesis 17:3,
and moses and Aron fell on their faces and prayed
(numbers 20:6) and Jesus fell on his face and prayed
Mathew 26:38).
And that is excatly how Muhammad SAW prayed and the whole muslim world prays like that. The christians don’t pray like that though.
They have their own kind of worship. Who is really trying to imitate Jesus? Christians or Muslims?
And that is the main problem of christianity: its not a religion of Jesus; it’s the religion constructed about Jesus. The message of Jesus is Islamic in every sense: believing in one God, he never mention the mystery of trinity; that
he’s a preacher, teacher, messenger and no more; that salvation rests by keeping the commandments; and son.
In fact even his diet isn't christian, Jesus’ diet is islamic
as he didn’t eat pig he kills over 2000 pigs says the bible. For we believe that Jesus was a muslim; and his message is islam.
Little wonder that on his second coming he is going to
rejects the christians for they misunderstood him and his message.
The bible tell us in the 7th chapter of Mathew:
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out
devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus is going to rebuke the christians, and this is in consequence of the diversion in christianity from the real message.
Its like a dialectic between the 2billion Christians and Jesus.
Christians are more concerned with the one who did the
preaching than what he preached. It’s a kind of shift from the message to the messenger. And when this
kind of shift happens, problems and misunderstanding emerged. If the emphases is in the preacher, racial pride and nationalism come into play.
You cant value the message if you’re too obsessed from
where it comes from. Jesus pray to God; christians
pray to Jesus. Christianity is a religion of Paul(the confusionist) constructed against Jesus.
Jesus was a Muslim and hisreligion was Islam in every sense.
It is just also very painful that the BIBLE OF TODAY HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY DOCTORED. FILLED WITH ERRORS, INCONSISTENCIES AND IT'S SO CONFUSING
OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Say what you will @bulldoza, the fact is that Christianity runs on belief. It is unfortunate that Christianity as a whole have varying beliefs on the actual doctrine.

The Triune nature of God is a difficult topic to prove. Like the initial post alluded to, how can a finite creature understand an infinite creator? An ant really cannot comprehend the workings of a human. Period. That said, religious apologists should just calm down. There is really no need ramming your beliefs down everyone's gullet. Such topics always throw up differences of opinion and usually devolve into shot-putting insults at one another. Let everyone concentrate on what moves one another forward, each silently praying to their God based on their beliefs. At the end of time, we will all be gathered and only then will we find out which belief was valid and which was not.

I would rather go for someone I love...
There is always a lot of uncertainty in marriage. The man or woman you think you know today may turn out to be better or worse after marriage. Character can change. There is always a 50/50 chance that a relationship will turn better or worse after the solemnization.

Thus the safest risk (especially for a guy) is to marry someone you love. Even when turbulent times come, it is the love you have for her that will sustain the marriage. On the contrary, if the love or infactuation "disappears", the past memories of the love you once shared (reminiscences) will sustain the marriage. In the very unlikely event that the marriage ends up collapsing, at least you were sincere about your intent of marriage which is love.

On the other hand, you may not be happy all your life if you marry someone you do not romantically love even if the marriage turns out to "peaceful". And if the loveless marriage turns out for the worse, you will regret it all your life.. It is a lose-lose for a loveless marriage.

I don't believe a guy can learn to love a woman he never had feelings for. A guy can only pretend to love a woman he has no feelings for. True marriage can only be built on the foundation of love. Everything else is falsehood and make-believe. Love is worth the risk!

Cheers.......!

BTW....ain't married yet.

Character is far better. Marriage does not run on love alone. Those who have been married a while can tell you that. A stable character is best to enter marriage with because sometimes when the love fails, the individual knows the character will suffice. Those who say character can change should know that character is built over years, love on the other hand relies on many factors (character being one of them).

So shine ya eye!!

in other words, mbaka is indulging in worldly biz instead heavenly biz. Rubbish

You know nothing, Jon Snow

Jesus is the answer for the third person.
Ha!!

Banks. We made you rich by doing you the courtesy of putting our hard-earned money in your safes. You use our money to do business, profit from said business and still charge us for making you rich.

It is well.

The Proverbs 26:4 and 5 really got me laughing...

frosbel: The Bible is not unreliable when you read it from the context of the overall message of God's love and salvation for MANKIND.

Note a few things :

1. God used imperfect human beings
2. He did not override their will, emotion or intellect
3. He inspired them and they put pen to paper as best as they could narrate the words of God.
4. There were obviously errors and misrepresentations in some cases but these are few and far between.
5. The original manuscripts are not available, what we do have now are copies from other copies.
6. If you think about it, in those days there was no press, so scribes at different locations and times had to painstakingly copy these manuscripts.
7. During the translation to Latin , the Catholic church deliberately inserted some outright errors to support their myths such as the Trinity , Hell etc
8. These errors were carried into the English versions.
9. Nevertheless we are able to understand the specific truths of God through his Spirit and this requires humility
10. The message of Salvation is still not lost and consistent as ever.



Don't use this opportubtiy to make rash statements on what you know not.

You just made it worse. If you claim to be an apologetic, please put more effort into it. Catholic church inserting things to support their doctrine indeed. You just made an argument that God did not guard His Word from errors. Nice one.

Still available?
