juicee1: scam ke.. ![]() i guess you misunderstood me...please try to see the "subject matter" before rebutting... my response to that guy was because he said there was no exchange using money or payment of wages during the time of the law according to Deuteronomy 14:22-29 ...and i provided answers in that respect... If you know me well enough on the religion section,you should know am a non-tither...and that we have been blessed to freely give from our heart without compulsion ... hope my explanation is explicit enough for you.. ![]() |
adedayourt:shekels of silver To even buttress the fact that money existed during the time of the law of moses,that same scripture you twisted even urged the tither to convert his farm produce and first born of his herds and flocks into money(shekels of silver) incase the place to the temple was too far Deuteronomy 14:24-26 but if in doubt,please explain to me what is obtainable NOW using Deuteronomy 14:22-23 as a guide |

respect80:well am guessing u didnt read what i said to everyone including you.... You are entitled to your own opinion just as am entitled to mine.... i have made myself clear dat federal character must come first in awill ny of the president's appointments since such is stipulated in our constitution... though there r no legal consequences but failure to do such will make people esp his critics labelling him a bigot...and dats my opinion! |
respect80:please I don't understand wat u meant by ur statement...I guess u sud b more explicit...wat r u trying 2 say...? |
“Charity, they say begins at home. For the APC-led Government, it has now become a question of ‘physician, heal thyself.’ |
FriedPlantain:God bless U for Dis comment...sum nigerians r always looking for an excuse 2 justify an accident.. Ember Dis..ember dat...as if worse accidents haven't occurred b4 now... ....am very sure both drivers were very reckless...just drive carefully..simple!! |
Am guessing most of d comments above didn't go back to view d link.. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/buhari-the-elephant- of-hindostan/ secondly,I tink every one is entitled to their own opinion...hence the writeup... I insist dat federal character must b applied in PMB's administration in order to carry every one along.... And please don't come with the excuse of previous administration doing it that way...this current administration preached CHANGE to its supposed fans and must be seen to practise such "jingles" holistically including appointments.... |
SOME of us must be familiar with the poem: The Six Blind Men of Hindostan by JE Saxe. These curious blind men went to learn about the elephant. They had to “observe” the huge animal by feeling with their palms the part of the body they found themselves touching. The first one touched its side and shrieked: “bless me, the elephant is very like a wall!” Another one felted around tusk and said the elephant was “very like a spear”. Another touched the ear and said the elephant was like a “fan”. The one that touched the trunk said it was like a “snake”. Another touched its leg around the knee and declared it “very like a tree”. Last of all, the blind man that touched the tail said even the blindest man would know that the elephant was very like a “rope”. Now concluded the poet: And so these blind men of Hindostan, Disputed loud and long, Each with his own opinion Exceeding stiff and strong, Though each was partly in the right, And each was partly wrong. The blind men of Hindostan were driven by the genuine motive of learning. But some Nigerians, blinded by hope (or justification) of presidential favours lie without shame. President Muhammadu Buhari has taken nearly 100 days to appoint about thirty inner members of his government. He has appointed the National Security Adviser (NSA), Service Chiefs, his Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Director General of the Directorate of State Services (DSS), “Acting” National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Comptroller General of Customs and that of Immigration, MD of Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), MD of the Nigerian Ports of Authority (NPA), Presidential Spokesmen and handymen, GMD of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the lot. Given the fact that “97%” of these appointees are from the Arewa Muslim North, Buhari has completed the “Northernisation” of the Executive Branch of Government. He already had in place, his men occupying the high and juicy posts of Head of Service of the Federation, Accountant General of the Federation and Auditor General of the Federation to sew up the Federal Bureaucracy. What remain now are for the Minister of Petroleum Resources (which he has signalled his intention to assign to himself) Minister of Finance and Attorney General of the Federation. Thus the economic and financial resources of the country will be in Arewa hands. Now, let us also bear in mind that, already, the Federal Legislature (Senate and House of Representatives) reflecting the character and complexion of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is already led by Northerners. On the other hand, the Federal Judiciary (Chief Justice of the Federation, President of the Court of Appeal and Chief Justice of the Federal High Court) is also completely dominated by Arewa. You are left to wonder: where are the other Nigerians? Nigeria has never, at any time in its peace time history, been lumbered into this extreme nepotism and sectional lopsidedness, even in the darkest days of Buhari’s first coming as a military ruler. Unfortunately, the “blind men” of Nigeria are justifying it! Professor Pat Utomi applauds, and tells Buhari to put only people from his village in the entire government if he likes and there is nothing wrong with it. Festus Keyamo concurs. Last Monday, former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Obong Victor Attah, visited Vanguard and told Nigerians to first ask Buhari why he was doing this before criticising him. He forgot that Buhari already did so when he addressed a press conference while in America. He made it clear he was going to form his government based on a warped “97%5%” formula to ensure that those who voted for him were adequately (some say “parasitically”) rewarded. APC says the number of appointees so far is “insignificant”, given the vast number offices yet to be filled. They want to deceive the gullible, but when you consider the picture painted above of the entire machinery of the federal government already filled by one section of the country, you will realise that anyone appointed from now henceforth will be like an “observer” among the “owners” of the government. It is the appointments that are yet to be made that are actually insignificant in clout compared to the powers of those already installed in office. Presidential spokesmen say Buhari appointed “those he knows who have worked with him for years”. He is unfit to be a Nigerian president if he has no associates from outside the North, even as a party leader, retired general former head of state! The Presidency also says the posts were filled based “purely on merit”. And I ask again, what standard of “merit” was applied which the South East failed so woefully to meet? Did they use the Arabic language or Islamic paradigms to do the evaluation? A section that consistently scores the highest in most entrance exams and tests cannot find the “merit” to get even a seat, while the sections that consistently bring the rear overwhelmingly outperforms the entire South! Some “merit”! Buhari has made himself a president of the North. He has “Biafranised” the South East. It was only during the civil war that Dr. Ukpabi Asika, the Administrator of the East Central State, was the only Igbo man from the East in the government. Buhari has brazenly defied the Constitution of the Federal Government of Nigeria 1999. Section 14(3) says: “The Composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the Federal Character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity and command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few states or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that Government or any of its agencies”. We warned about candidate Buhari during the campaigns, but most people refused to listen! However, for Buhari, the “honeymoon” is over. link: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/buhari-the-elephant-of-hindostan/ |

SUPER TIGERS OF NAIJA ![]() |
Lateralmaths:very simple...thats why i asked you if the early believers paid tithes.. The very first believers were found in acts... Read what they did when they received and believed jesus as their lord and personal saviour.. 42 The believers spent their time listening to the teaching of the apostles. They shared everything with each other. They ate together and prayed together.ACTS 2:42-47 ERV Paul also admonished the Corinthians about knowing the GIFT OF GIVING Take note of highlighted, And now, brothers and sisters, we want to tell you what God’s grace has done in the churches in Macedonia. 2 These believers have been tested by great troubles, and they are very poor. But their great joy caused them to be very generous in their giving. 3 I can tell you that they gave as much as they were able and even more than they could afford. No one told them to do this. It was their idea. 4 But they asked us again and again—they begged us to let them share in this service for God’s people. 5 And they gave in a way that we did not expect: They gave themselves to the Lord and to us before they gave their money. This is what God wants.2 CORINTHIANS 8:1-14 ERV Finally,Paul gave a very brief but explicit way that believers can give... 7 Each one of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give. You should not give if it makes you unhappy or if you feel forced to give. God loves those who are happy to give. 8 And God can give you more blessings than you need, and you will always have plenty of everything. You will have enough to give to every good work. 9 As the Scriptures say,2 CORINTHIANS 9:7-11 ERV Just trying to make it brief but you can read those chapters for yourself so that you can comprehend it better...If you have any questions about the verses or about tithes please feel free to let me know...We are all here to learn...Happy sunday! |
Lateralmaths:ok since u want to go d Abraham route..let me ask u sum soul-searching questions... Was Abraham required UNDER ANY LAW to tithe just like the people of Israel? Are you comparing wat was given as a GESTURE to what is REQUIRED? Wat covenant are we in right now? Are we in d dispensation of Abraham? i ask again...did the early believers pay tithe? But why do most tithers always run to genesis esp Abraham to say he paid tithes...? he was actually responding to a kind gesture from the king after he was given food and wine.... he was never mandated or required to give a tithe...besides if u check other translation,you will not find tithe anymore...rather wat you see is tenth... Thats because its obvious the so called "tithe" that Abraham gave to the king was not the same as that which God required for the people of Israel... |
......yet he says he doesn't like money ![]() |
Lateralmaths:christ didnt also stop the people of israel from obeying the other laws of moses wen he was on earth..and that was because he was still under that law...he fulfilled the law of moses and ended it on the cross of Calvary.....remember tithe was part of the law of moses.... The question u sud ask is...did the early Christians or believers pay tithes?? |
Lateralmaths:That's why christ brought an end to the law of moses because it was weak and made nothing perfect....Ephesians 2:15;Hebrews 7:18-19;Romans 10:4 imagine a law that stops priests from helping dose who r almost at the point of death simply because it will make them unclean... just imagine a lady had only 30k her as "tithe" and her brother was terribly ill and needed 2 b at the hospital.....after using the supposed tithe money to save her brother...her pastor was angry with her when she attended church service on sunday,for using "God's money" to save her brother from death.... ![]() |
