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?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 |
Dr Muzungu: Goint to a place called "church" and run by a criminally minded devilish person called "pastor" can lead to some other place, rather than heaven.What makes you think you are more qualified to lead a people in Gods house compared to those who God has appointed? If truly you have the Holy Ghost in you, why will you be lead to a place where the spirit doesn't reside? |
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. |
otokx: Nigerian churches - definitely notIf you like go to a white man church, the mere fact that you have a spirit that divides the church simply means any church you attend will never be a blessing to you. |
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. |
See the foolishness of some poster rejoicing that churches will be taxed How much of the taxes they have collected from you has counted towards the nations development? What make you think same individuals will not end up looting the monies overseas as they have always done? Beside, taxing churches will only make us richer.... A river always flows... |
rooftech: Owner Of The Largest Private Jet Manufacturing Firm In The US Did Not Own One by truth4meal(m): 7:02pm On Nov 17Whiners like you never get to the top and are no Gods equal. If you truly profess to be Gods, then you should know that the right thing to do is to pray for these Pastors you are accusing.I hope you will remember when your troubles begin to mount, that you caused it with your words and actions? They are not your servant and you are not their master, so on which authority you speak wickedly against them ![]() |
ijawkid: That ability to speak in tongues has ceased.....it has served its purpose a longtime ago and we don't need it anymore....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. |
So because I Pastor a church, I should not own a jet if I have the means to have one? Even for the work of the ministry? ![]() |
Weep not my child..... It is obvious Nigeria have a long way to go. I sit in management meetings, deliberating company expansion, drawing circles on world maps, then I ask myself, why isn't nigeria circled on that digi-screen? Why aren't thy even talking about Nigeria? My heart melts....but will I blame them? With a government that cannot be trusted, why ill any serious investor want to put their money in such a country in the hands of a seemingly rogue president? |
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.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. |
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.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. Teach a man how to fish and He will be a fisherman, feed a man with fish and He will become a beggar! |
saem: What our soldiers don't have in modern military equipment, they more than have in sheer bravery, decipline and dedication___these are attributes that even the UN knows. It is an insult for some one in UK to say that nigerian soldiers can not take the forefront in the terrain of mali that can not be more difficult than the situation we have in the north east where they are WINNING. I say this because I live there. Folks, let no man make u feel inferior! We may have issues with our system but our military is one of the best in the world. I rest my case.I completely agree with you on the Boko Haram war! Let alone if not for the retardeen President that wants to play politics with it, the Boko Haram issue would have been history had He allowed the Military to fully take control. |
Gnosticmovement: guy u cant compare d fight in normandy (omaha beach) to any in africa...wat are u saying..did d us troops run away....if dey really wanted to go in dey would go in....liberia fight nai u want take compare d world war...guy nor vex me o..go and read about d day....who's talkn abt rwanda by d way?....Stop your open display of ignorance. The US Military might have highly sophisticated equipment, however we all know in Mogadishu they were defeated by a well organised, but less trained Somalia militias. We know the US military strength is aerial power. They Army are pretty useless as we have come to see in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. |
idupaul: Nigerians like living in denial and such attitude only allows our leaders to deride us more. Imagine a respected poster like Rossike claimiing the article is Gibberish .. What part of the article don't we already know about ..Ignorance is a disease! Go get some education about Nigeria Army before coming here to spew rubbish. A good as the British Army is, were they able to check mate the Irish dissidents Republican? I have a close relative who was trained by the Nigerian Air Force and now He is with the British Army and each time I get to talk to him, He is of the opinion that Advanced equipment is our main problem and that in terms of training on Warfare, intelligence etc, the training He got in Nigeria is of no lower standard than what He is getting from the British Army. We know UK arms export is falling and we know how good the British press are in the hands of corrupt arms manufacturers. I would take this report as part of the junk journalism that is currently being exposed in the UK! |
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.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. |
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? |
I think in this day and age where institutions of different countries are aligning themselves to breach the divide, ICAN is retreating into the dark! Like Engineering, Accounting is a global practice with very minor domestication, hence, there is no need whatsoever to forbid foreign trained Accountants with ACCA, etc from seeking automatic membership of ICAN, if truly ICAN follows the same global standards of practice in Banking, of course we know they do not, hence the reason most foreign banking institutes do not allow automatic conversion of ICAN's certificate. They better learn a lesson from COREN... |
With an Estimated population of nearly 2.3million, of which the active age is within the early family group, 8,000 birth seems abit low even. Again, majority of Nigerians here work and pay taxes and they should be allowed to live their live as any decent tax paying citizen would. |
chelseabmw: So no one can help me hereGo to NIS in Benin City at Ikpoba Hill, they have the machine to do it otherwise, you can go to NIS at Awka. When I was in Nigeria last year, a close friend of mine went to Benin to do His e-passport and He got it done in a day. He was told it normally takes two to three days when it gets busy towards christmas. |
werepeLeri: This buffon is back. Why is it your comments on the very things you quote always have no semblance? You ok at all? Keep stalking me, maybe you can get an orga.sm from doing so. Your mumbo jumbo presents you like an illiterate having great problems communicating in the Queen's language. And it gives up your frustration about life in general, and posits you as an academic failure who likes to vent his anger on society and rulers to cover his own very failure in life. Sory for you. GEJ is not the harbinger of your life's failure, and my simply following GEJ is not responsible also, so, kindly wash your butt hole with sand paper and see if life can get better for you.If this is what your sane mind can come up with... then what many have attributed to your person is very true. Disgruntled element who abhors the truth. It is because of innately wicked people like you that Niger Delta have remained backward. Do I really expect you to connect the dotted lines in my previous post? Absolutely not, 'cos like your GEJ, you lack the intellectual capacity to do so, and it is no surprise you bundled out of the UK. |
werepeLeri: Even those who will not download or bother to read it will even condemn it. LOL. Those are people who will say things like GEJ is a joke, GEJ is a fool, Gaari this gaari that. Watch and see.If you were amongst those whose discuss can be classed as intellectually stimulating, then I would take your words serious, alas! You are an Ethnic joker, who innate abhor truths and always choose to side with anything pro-GEJ even when it is blatantly insane to do so! Should I recommend your type to excuse NL? Nope 'cos you make for the minute minority who reminds us that evil is a force that should be kept at bay by all men of good heart. Go and search yourself first..... ![]() |
[size=18pt]WHO WERE THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWED THIS REPORT[/size] ![]() |
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.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! |
PrettyRita: We thought opposition parties will bail Nigeria out, but recent recklessness and corrupt practices by these ACN Govs have since changed our minds. With what these men and their wives are doing, I prefer PDP. The devil you know is better than ACNYou have internet, Met Police have a legitimate phone number you can call. Give them your true identity and they will confirm or deny if they ever arrested anyone with such an amount of money. |
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?If you were sane, you would not have written this much! Truth they say is like air, you can cover it.. but not long enough it would escape! Your visit to Germany is long over due... after all Patience Jonathan went there for a 'rest' and had a 'second' coming why not you ![]() |
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 ![]() |
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 ![]() |
