Politics › Re: Can You Vote Fashola For President In 2015? by OmoTier1(m): 6:50pm On Dec 02, 2012
afam4eva: It seems your party affiliation is ACN. What thing of note has Oshiomole achieved in Edo state that will make you vote for him in 2015 as the president.
You must be suffering from ethnic disease to have typed this! Name one of your governors in the east that have done half of what Oshiomhole has done in Edo State given the resources available to him?

To prove you wrong, His reelection was a testament of his hard work, determination and achievements to putting the state on course and bringing good governance back to the people and making the people realise that their government officials can be held accountable by their votes! Can you vouch for any of your eastern governor who got reelected without rigging in the lat election?

His prudent use of the state resources alone is what commending, and we need people like that to rule Nigeria. Look at the schools in the state, go see for yourself the hospitals, and also the roads he is constructing in the rural areas that is opening up those villages that struggle to get their arm produce to town after harvest.

For someone to think that 5000 dollars would shake Christ Embassy is simply laughable. Was it not same IPPC Pastor Chris gave 10,000 each for the two best music category awards? Yet someone thinks the church would be shaken to earth for a mere 5000 dollars?

Kei144: I don't understand what you mean by "in front of you". Do you mean that they have more exposure to Jesus than me? Or that they began to follow Jesus before me? Or that they know the truth more than me? Or what?

Gathering of the brethren is meant to be a family thing, where everybody looks to Jesus and not to any human leader. Jesus is the father of the family. Apostle Paul had to rebuke Peter when Peter clearly acted not in he interest of Jesus. Which Christian today can openly rebuke an elder or pastor if s/he acts contrary to the interest of Jesus?
Read Ephesians 4:11-12, the Spirit clearly tells us that Jesus gave gifts to some for the purpose of perfecting the saints and for the work of the ministry. Was Peter more closer to Jesus than Paul? Was Paul not the one given the grace to unveil the mystery of the ones of the body of Christ al the Jews and Gentiles and Gods ultimate plans? Was Paul still not required to submit to the leadership in Jerusalem?

The church has a constituted authorities and they are local also. It is the responsibility of every Christian to make sure they belong to an assembly called a church for guidance, inspiration and leadership. There's no one individual revelation greater than that of church collectively.

all4naija: Truly, Nigerian cities are too disorganized for my taste. Seriously, a lot needs to be done. Don't be offended, Rossike. That is my opinion on Nigerian cities.
Haha, you either have not lived in Lagos, and haven't visited other cities outside of Nigeria for you to have made this comment.

I have seen Paris, London, Amsterdam, Toronto, you name it, and I can say in terms of organisation, Lagos is as good as these cities. What is most required of Lagos now is the change in attitude of the vast majority of those resident in Lagos Main Land.

At ROSSIKE, thanks for those pics, imagine if Lagos sustain this tempo of development for the next 20 years, Lagos would be top five global destination. I am sure by the time mono-rail comes on stream, and sub-ways are added, much of congestion seen in Main and would reduced drastically.

Kei144: Emphasis on human leadership is a common emphasis among Christians, but it is not as important as people make it to be. People confuse Christianity with Judaism where God appointed a certain bloodline to be priests; and others must submit to their religious authority. The real purpose of Christianity is to make everyone in Christ priest and king. A person that begins following Christ newly needs guidance from experienced followers. But it is not proper for a person to become perpetual baby that always needs pastoral or prophetic guidance. Apostle Paul, after initially being discipled by Ananias, began to follow the revelations that he received directly from God and built his ministry that way. Today's Christians are so lazy in seeking God. They substitute seeking God with belonging to a church that is led by a popular pastor or evangelist.
Like it or not, God has placed people in front of you to help you grow in Christ and also, just like it was the in old, so it is now that Jesus has appointed some over his church, remember Jesus said he gave some gifts to become evangelist, apostles, teachers, pastors, prophets FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS AND THE EDIFICATION OF THE CHURCH - Eph 4 : 11-12

tchaik: @OP, who damned me in the first place?
Living in denial would not help you in anyway. You were condemned by your sinful nature at birth. Adams nature that once ruled humanity condemned you at birth. By one sin ruled over many, so also by one shall many be justified unto righteousness. Adams fall at the beginning meant everyone after his lineage also took upon them that sinful nature, but God paid the price and brought the gift of salvation that anyone who so believe on the name of Jesus and confess his lordship can no longer be held bound by that sinful nature. Hence your Salvation is from sin and reunion with God in the fellowship of his spirit.

Going to church is not a prerequisite for salvation, however, salvation is a total package that also demand of you to assemble with those of the household of the faith. I see many here trying to justify their not assembling in a church, whilst this topic is strictly about salvation and church attendance as a prerequisite, however it is pertinent to say that having received that salvation, you need to be tutored rightly about the kingdom of God and it's principle for living here on earth else you will be living dangerously in the kingdom.

rooftech: Owner Of The Largest Private Jet Manufacturing Firm In The US Did Not Own One by truth4meal(m): 7:02pm On Nov 17
Do you know that: Warren Buffet owns the largest private jet manufacturing firm in the US.

Yet he has never flown in one because he says "everyone who says they need a private jet to make important appointments is a liar".

"They need it for their ego. Name me one of them busier than I am who owns more US corporations than I do".

"I travel constantly across the US and the world in commercial jetliners, live in the same house since the 70s, still buy $9 ties and $75 suits and still drive my 22 year old immaculately maintained Lincoln".

Buffet is one voice in the world of economy that is respected world wide. He even paid a tenth of his earning to charities. He almost single-handedly bankrupted British economy on that 'Black Wednesday' with his forex trading on pound sterling's fall, when UK left European Union money market.

All the pastors now feasting instead of fasting, who chose to dine in the palace of Egypt as against towing Moses' path of staying with the people of God; flying in jet, as if that is the means of going up in rapture, why don't you learn a lesson or two from an 'Bottom' like Balaam?

So, if a man with a fortune that can dwarf the entire money, put together, either stolen or exhorted by the club of jet owners, can fly commercial jetliners, what stops our men of God from doing the same?

Christianity Etc › Re: What Are The “tongues Of Angels” In 1 Corinthians 13:1? by OmoTier1(m): 5:19pm On Nov 18, 2012
ijawkid: That ability to speak in tongues has ceased.....it has served its purpose a longtime ago and we don't need it anymore....

That is why all I hear around me is many persons uttering incoherent words or should I say gibberish....

The major reason why the apostles were given the gift of speaking tongues was for them to preach Gods words to the most distant part of the earth, to non Jews......

Funny enough almost every person who claims to speak in tongues today utters the same paTtern of words nation wide,make noise and then accomplish nothing..........
Then you are saying Jesus's affirmation of His believers is false? Sometimes, we are better off keep quiet than putting ourselves in a position of spiritual obliteration by our utterances. Clearly Jesus said in Mark, and I quote

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

May God help you, that your eyes of understanding may be unveiled from shackles of the wicked one.

Politics › Re: FG To Buy 30 New Aircrafts For Aviation Industry by OmoTier1(m): 12:01pm On Nov 10, 2012
Iolo: I think it is wrong to assume that the fact that the FG does not like the way they spent money given to them means they squandered it. They could have used part of it to offset existing loans rather than expand their operations to create more jobs. They could have used it to offset debt to the leasing companies or fuel suppliers. They could have done a million legal things with the money that didn't end up creating jobs. You can't throw anybody in jail for these things.

Besides its the norm everywhere that this will happen when government does not spell out exactly how the monies to be disbursed are to be spent. This is why the government is now saying that with the second round of intervention it wants it spent solely on purchasing aircraft.

This will create jobs and new revenue for the government.
I thought the bail out fund was meant for them to purchase new aircraft to reduce their operational cost, which in turn should translate to more jobs creation over the long run? If anything, your claim that they could have used it to service their loans may not be true after all given that Arik currently is being weigh down by huge debt burdens that is preventing her from expanding on her operations.

Lets call a spade a spade. The first bail out was not well thought out and it was SLS smarting by thinking that throwing huge sums of money at the problem would provide the magic solution to the chronic pain the industry is experiencing, even though many aviation experts then rightly advice the FG not to toe that part.
Politics › Re: FG To Buy 30 New Aircrafts For Aviation Industry by OmoTier1(m): 11:56am On Nov 10, 2012
Iolo: I agree with much of your post in that the FG needs to do more to provide a less costly business environment for the airlines. But I do think that this type of intervention funds are a huge step forward and deserves applause.

Airlines would be able to expand their services and take advantage of more routes. There's also the fact that aircraft lease payments and loan repayments both make up a substantial portion of their business operations and if they are able to get these loans at very low interest from the Govt it'll help.

Don't know why you decided to attack me but no one says they must buy brand new aircraft. Anything newer than 10 years is cool. Once its had a D check which is the most grueling and the engines are refitted with new ones that's perfect for them. I personally don't think any of the airlines would want to wait the 2-3 years we all know it takes manufacturers to fulfil their supply requests.

FG has recently said aircraft and spare parts are duty free items. This should help the airlines like Arik with hangers to keep their fleet in good condition @ lesser cost.

Talking about fuel costs. That's where next the FG needs to tackle. How do you propose they go about it?
Need I say that the first paragraph in my reply wasn't meant to insult your person but just clearly stating the obvious fact. What the likes of Arik air need is not 'free' money to buy aircrafts to expand their routes. They know too well that they are making huge loss due to government lack of proper over sight. Imagine a situation where foreign airliners are still granted multiple destination point into Nigeria yet the FG expect our local carrier to be profitable?

As for the fuel cost, we have refineries that can produce cheap aviation fuels locally, yet ours is amongst the most expensive in the world. We know over 60% of Airliners operator cost is attributed to fuel and Airport charges cost, yet the FG is not seen as doing anything tangible to addressing this.

As for route expansion, you do not need many aircraft to service many routes. Arik Air for example has nearly 25 Aircrafts for her international, domestic and regional operations. Today modern aircraft have turn around time of approximately 35mins,(A320 25mins turn around time) save for the A380 or the B747-800 that take much longer to turn around. Hence, any Aircraft that lands in Abuja say at 9.30am, by 10.15am can be on its way to Jo'burgh in South Africa, flying a combination of Short Range and Medium range daily for better aircraft utilization. Most of the journey within West Africa and indeed Nigeria are classed as "short haul" to "Medium haul" ( i.e. 60mins to 460mins) hence by proper fleet planning, with just 20 Aircrafts, you can service much of the routes profitably if proper regulatory over-sight is put in place by FG.

3 That they are Indiciplined :: when we meet them at their check points don't we all see the rag tag manner in which the handle their duty post , Smoking weed , drinking cheap alchohol, threatening to shoot and extorting drivers ..

Politics › Re: FG To Buy 30 New Aircrafts For Aviation Industry by OmoTier1(m): 1:59am On Nov 10, 2012
Iolo: I think your mixing things up. What they would do is to place approximate funds for 30 aircraft with the CBN. Each Airline is then to negotiate with an aircraft .manufacturer or leasing company. When they've agreed on the details, the airline memos the CBN to make payment on its behalf.

Its totally up to each airline to buy good or dead aircraft. And seeing that its a loan and not dash, non of the airlines would want to buy scrap.
I take it your response clearly portray that you know little or next to nothing on what is involved in the purchase of commercial aircraft of the like of B737. N300BN intervention fund previously given was 'dash' or 'loan'? What is the business of CBN in this matter, if at all, shouldn't it be the business of the NExIM and in whose portfolio this sums should be deposited? NExIM is there to fund imports and exports projects of which this clearly belongs.

What is clear is this, order books are full, and if any, most of the aircraft available for sale not lease are tukunbo aircrafts or Aircraft rejected by those who initially ordered for it for several reasons. Lets not kid ourselves, several countries have privately owned and well run airlines with little or no state aid except with proper regulation and over-sight! Why is Nigeria case so different? The reason the likes of Arik et al can not survive is not the number of aircraft in their possession, mainly it is due to FG lack of grasps of the regulation frame work and proper over-sight required for the industry to function properly. Why is Aviation fuel more expensive in Nigeria than most neighbouring countries? Why are our landing fees exorbitantly priced without a commensurate investment in aviation infrastructure?

If the FG like buy 10000 aircraft, if the necessary government over-sight and proper regulation is not adequately addressed, the industry will always come begging for more. Aviation is one business that is very cash consuming yet highly profitable if the government plays the sole role of regulations with selfless interest. Of course we know the current FG lacks what it takes to put such in place, hence the cheap way out that would benefit the wealthy is to pour huge sums into purchase what will most likely be tokunbo aircraft. Like we come to know with GEJ's government, huge sums is expended on issues without much thinking.
Politics › Re: FG To Buy 30 New Aircrafts For Aviation Industry by OmoTier1(m): 11:21pm On Nov 09, 2012
If there's any iota of truth in this report, may I add that Aircraft is not like toys you go to shop to buy from the shelf! I know too well that the main global Aircraft Manufacturers have their order books fully booked especially on the "sweet" aircrafts e.g B787-8, A320Neo, A330, B737MAX etc. This tells me FG will either end up buying "tokunbo" aircraft from those European Airlines undergoing bankruptcy or from those American airliners whose ageing aircraft have been parked in the deserts or buy from Leased companies at Astronomical costs at the expense of Nigeria tax payers!

Why can't FG follow China's model whereby the Chinese national government through her ExIM bank grant cheap credits to Airliners of Chinese origin, with strict monitoring, ensuring that they get the best deal from the Aircraft manufacturers they choose to buy from?

Imagine if FG was to make a deal with Airbus or Boeing ordering fro 100 Aircraft of various sizes with commensurable reciprocal investment by these aircraft manufacturers in Nigeria e.g. build an MRO facility for their plane or build a sub-assembly line in the country?

obalola7: Please rephrase that comment in bold. Paul was the most eloquent and most read of all the apostles. Check Act 22, 23 and especially Act 23:6 : (6) But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

To be a Pharisee u must have read and among the Jewish elite. A better clarification will be his letter to the Corinthians 13. "(1) 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." 1 Corinthians 13:1

So dont say that in public that Paul wasn't eloquent. You think its a joke to convince and write letter of appeal to Caesar and get jewish Authorization letter to arrest christian and also come back and serve God with the same zeal? If he was not eloquent, he would have been killed when he was addressing the elders of Jews for his defense.

If you read further, you could also ascribe to him as an eloquent lawyer: Philipians 13:1-10 "(4) Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

(5) Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;"
Maybe the second part of that statement qualifies what He meant. I.e, Paul was not an orator, though knowledgeable in Law, He was not a smooth talker like Jacob was renowned for!

ANALIST: Must we sacrifice due process in the alter of our expectation of anything, even as national concern as the Oil royalties and remittances etc, due to our dear country? Must we rant when there is always legally administrative order of administering the state affairs which we all do, by our constitution belong? Must we study Administrative law before we can understand what white paper is all about? Must we remember the IBB indicted white paper that got loss in the height of revision some time ago?

Why must we as Nigerians divert and direct an unbiased report of Punch Newspaper to what never could have anticipatorily happen.
Some have in their minds inculcated the practices of the past Military administration, where radio and televion broadcast were the opposite of the agenda (called Michavelian theory of governance, fogetting the democratic revolution which Nigerians have embrased till date) than to look upon the promises of this administration and judge it by its action or inactions which shall stand, even before GOD ALMIGHTY as evidence that we gave It(the government) the benefit of our doubts and they failed or faithfully administered our DEMOCRATIC Institutions in the constitutional and morally manner for the benefit of all.

For all that can be glanced from the drama in the social and print media, is that many unemployed non-citizen(for no Nigerian could think so myopic) have been recruited or greedily devoting themselves to picking holes where there is none.

I remember not too long ago that one of the Cabals masqueraded himself to court to ask for the invalidation of the committee which its report is now again the contention of political unemployed.
Then my dear, they argued that the legal maxim DELEGATUS NON POTEST DELEGARE-simply put a delegate can not delegate applied where a minister constitutes a committee of inquiry which has become the most transparent of unearthing fraud in governance. No doubt they failed and will continue to fail.

Let's analyse dear, in administrative law there is what is called certiorari which a High court uses on application iand invocation of it by an agrieved person to reverse or nullify any action of government that is contrary to the constitution and indeed the laws made by the National Assembly.

To position our countrymen, we must as a matter of obligation and duty look into the affairs of government in an objective manner than subjective. Our mind must be first dispossessed of all the undemocratic and unprogressive attitudes we have had in our minds if we must live up to a true Nigerian which we deserve to be called in and out side this country.

For those who do not know, legally a committee cannot submit a report without it been reviewed by the government through the office of the Attorney Attorney general to look into the report, it's legal, economic and politcal implications and make their final submission on it.

What I expect all the unconstructive critics to do is to stop where the government has stopped, vigilantly watch the outcome of every project and policy, question why things are not done the way they expected it and even go to court and enforce their rights as Nigerians where they are infringed, as GANI SAN, DID EVEN IN THE FACE OF THE DICTATORIAL MILITARY GOVERNMENT, than to resort to political misinformation based on unverifiable calculation which can lead to some grudge, hate and destabilisation of the polity.

We have left the era of unquestionable government- where the governed must accept everything as said and done into a people participatory democratic dispensation where we all account to the Citizen all we have said, done or about to do and indeed the world at large( for we are now in a global village)
Let's make haste why there is time, for our co- existence as a great nation is greater than our individual greed and ambitions of anyone here or yet to come.

Nora okon: if we must criticize, i think we must be logical. GEJ's administration remains the most transparent the nation has ever had.his commitment on anti-corruption is currently repositioning the oil sector.he also has not relented in his commitment to making the electoral body and the judiciary independent. we must shame those who have sworn to pull this administration and the country down. we must not make ourselves vulnerable to detractors.we must wait for the final report to be presented before we begin to make assessments.
You need to visit Germany too... you must be suffering from GEJ syndrome angry

werepeLeri: And if you use d brain properly, you will know that they only provided the seats on which their name is written.
You need a trip to Germany too... long over due! When a house foundation is faulty, white washing it will make no difference to the structural fault in the building. Tell your GEJ that we need Airport that befits this century not two centuries ago!

If this were to be a government that knows that money spent today is an investment for tomorrow, then she would have thought twice and realize that window dressing a structure that is well over 20years is foolhardy! With the projected Air traffic growth at that Airport, does it not beckon on the FG that a new terminal is what is required?

In a sane country, this opportunity will be used to open up the Benin City and Environs to global business by investing in the airport infrastructure to such as standard that in 2040, the airport can still handle the volume of passengers that will come through.

This is a government by crooks, of crooks and for the crooks lipsrsealed
