President of Biafra and Igbo Town Hall meetings

Bluntguy:
Imagine the level of stupidity you just displayed.
Peter Obi is going to be your president next year.

Really must have missed that part, otherwise I wouldn't have advise him to go that way...

Some of you are quick when you're trying to hurt a woman.

Did you read where he says he was operating her Facebook account illegally? Do you know just how criminal it is to do that? He will be prosecuted for that faster than her so called cyber stalking that has no proof.

He's the one stalking her. She should deal with him.

My good friend, wait till you gather ample evidence against her and take her to court on cyber stalking, she will beg you from her great grandfather to her 4th generation...

I've broken up with my ex for a year now, after I broke up I got married. I was the one who ended the relationship because she started misbehaving when she got into school, it seems she was tired of the relationship cus she met other guys who could give her what she wanted (I was the one who sponsored her schooling) so I ended it because It seems she was bigger than me and I couldn't contain her anymore.
When I told i I didn't want the relationship, she was suprised because I had spent a lot on her school so she thought I couldn't end it cus I've invested in her school. But I shocked her and ended everything.
She started bragging that she would meet someone better than me and I said no problem There are a lot of guys out there she should try I luck. But I told her she might find a guy that's richer than I am but she won't find a guy like me. So I moved on with my life, not up to 3 months after we broke up she met someone else, the guy bought her an iPhone(she started freaking out about iPhone cus she sees girls in her school use it) the guy has a car and even rented a new apartment for her

Even after meeting this new guy she has been stalking me on social media, first it was facebook and Instagram but I ignored it (mind you she has blocked me on all social media platforms including whatsapp and my phone numbers)

So this morning my wife told me that she saw a friend request notification from someone on Facebook looked like my ex, but when she went to accept the friend request it has already been deleted. She later searched the name on Facebook and found out it was my ex.
I just told my wife not to answer her or anything.
I still wonder why she's still stalking me on social media when she has obviously found someone she thinks it's better than me.
I was thinking about calling her and warning her off my wife. I can take her stalking me and all but my wife is where it ends.

It's been a year she should move on

Is it the fault of the insurance company that you don't make claims

PHIPEX:
This is ridiculous, third part insurance that's a free money to the insurance companies. Am yet to see anyone that made a claim on 3rd party insurance.

Many of these insurance companies are surviving because of this free money, they can't justify this increase.

Like they say, nzogbu nzogbu is all you know, you can't think independently, simple things are hard for you to comprehend, the rise and rise of Obi and Kwakwanso are blessings to BAT but not good for Atiku...

They were all together in 2019 which could have been worrisome for BAT right now but with the votes splitting between the trio it's a great blessing for BAT.. Go and read Soludo's letter,offers best idea on the way forward for the SE, it's worth taking your time to ponder on..

Seefinish:
The problem of Tinubu's urchins is obi.
By God's grace, obi is the next president of Nigeria come May 29

Truly you're a complete ignorant on Obi, if someone could say education is not for the poor, went ahead to increase tution fees of university by 1000% with lecturers going on strike for 8 months and said he cares so much about education... You're either ignorant on him or just an ethnic warrior

ZIKORAMAMACHI:
At least he cares so much for the Nigeria education sector. Weldon

Nor mind the ignorant idiot...
Chimark comes to mind, filled the whole social media with unregulated adverts now scammed everybody off their hard earned money

gracealonev:
Mediocre with no conscience.

Have you reported the matter to law enforcement agency After that and nothing is done, then you have a right to apportion blame otherwise it's needless blame government for what they are not aware of.. na government we call am nor be spirit oooo

How old were you in 1993 I'm sure your mother sef was still in primary school then, baby factory product..

SLAP44:
Utchins are using state politicians crowd to boast about a despicable Tinubu who nobody will vote for. Tinubu belongs in the past.

Vote for Peter Obi.

Which God gave you the standard??

You know nothing about the religion you're practicing, just allow the man be.. he's right, the bible does not forbid it

Righteousness2:
Whoever loves this young man should tell him that he is deceiving himself.

Whoever loves this young man should tell him that apart from his 1st legally married wife, any other woman he is frolicking with is Adultery.

GOD'S standard of Marriage is One man , One woman. Any other thing is Woman and man deceiving themselves in Adultery and Iniquity.

[b][/b]

IPObi is back in the news as it's dawning on them that their principal can't win the election...

Moh247:
Never taking responsibility

Simon Ekpa would say another thing, Emma Powerful would counter it

Can't this people just pretend till elections are over rather than causing tension and voter apathy

When Kanu was bragging about giving civilians gun to protect themselves he never thought of the consiquences

Man, I don forget oooo. No vex. I nor mean you harm..

Roger3D:
You want make IPOB use me do pepper soup?

Roger3D:
Why no data from the SE? Don't they eat rice over there?

Pls don't go there, we understand the party is trying given how they are able to gain tractions in few months but don't put the word without inducement, you guys pay far more than other parties in light of recent revelations

Run oooooo

LaSenior:
Mod please I want this piece to be pushed to front-page this is happening to me though I have prepared my Mind to do what is in my mind but I want this honourable house to look into this

I was supposed to go and do marital introduction but because of my dad's health which was going bad everyday I couldn't. I thought maybe when we stabilise him a little then I can quickly arrange for introduction but sadly my beloved Dad passed away 4days later

I have been crying endlessly and been so weak and saddened just this morning this girl I was planning on spending the rest of my life with chatted me up saying that she has looking at me since that I don't want to say anything concerning her Christmas things that she needs 50k to buy Christmas things. I was shocked to the bone haaaa why are you this heartless towards me? Does it mean you are not concerned about what I have been passing through, infact I don't want to speak more because God already saved me from a heartless lazy woman.

To the women in this forum is it right to ask your fiancee Christmas Money in the midst of seeing him mourning of his late Dad just few days his dad died this attitude of this girl is it right?

They need to wake to the reality on ground..

Obi is an ethnic warrior, a Catholic bigot just turned christian recently by visiting denominations he never considered Christians and never a bridge builder.. if you guys are complaining against PMB do we need another one

LeoDeKing:
You mean Amokachi is hungry?

Then you must be a super billionaire to see Amokachi as a hungry poor man.

Everybody rich for Instagram.

Pls can we see your bank account balance?

His father left the Malaysia drug money and cartel for him..

They are still bankrolling him

SmartPolician:
It's surprising to know that Soludo and Obiano are older than Peter Obi.

Peter Obi achieved so much at a young age and should be a role model for many young Nigerians.

By the way, I thought that EFCC once picked up Obiano or have they dropped fraud case against him?

We don't need another ethnic

DSC7:
The whole of south east is OBIdient...

God Bless the incoming president HE peter Obi....


Nigeria must be great again....

Vote Wisely 2023...

My brother you got it wrong, have you read the richest man in Babylon? Where did Abram came from? The tithes he paid to melkizedek was it before he became Abraham or After? When Moses comanded tithing, did he or did he not mention until theres a temple in Jerusalem? Is there a temple in Jerusalem as we speak Do the Jews still pay since there's no more temple in Jerusalem?? How do the Jews currently handle the tithes since there's no more temple in Jerusalem?? What has the poor and needy in your immediate environment and less privileged within your family got to do with tithes??
All these and many more would assist in tracing the origin and intentions of tithing.

God bless us all

ptoall:
At the risk of sounding legalistic, you cant give ur tithe to any other place except ur local church where you are been fed the word. Malachi 3 is very clear on that. Also, tithes in the OT were administered by Levi priests (Pastors in our case).
Every giving has its place, tithes, offerings, giving to missions, alms, to parents etc have their place in the scriptures and they should be separated.

Someone that doesn't regard any other denomination as christians if you're not catholic suddenly started attending every church gatherings even Baba kabiru small shop church sef e go attend for sake of attention

LadyExcellency:
Peter Obi seems lost while the praise and worship were going on. It's like only Politics was on his mind.

True sha but other states nor dey see shishi, SS SE states are worse of.. let them see fractions too, the citizens will be happy

socialmediaman:
Impressive! However, Lagosians are seeing only a fraction of their full potential because bobo Chicago uses the other fraction to buy apartments worth billions of naira in NY for his children

There’s a fascinating principle of interpreting and understanding Scripture that is one of the proofs of the Bible’s inspiration. It’s called the Law of first mention and it can be defined as follows: “The very first time any important word is mentioned in the Bible…Scripture gives that word its most complete and accurate meaning to not only serve as a "key" in understanding the word's Biblical concept, but to also provide a foundation for its fuller development in later parts of the Bible” (www.netbiblestudy.com)

The first mention of the tithe in the Bible is in Genesis 14 after Abram had rescued his Nephew Lot, “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.’ And he gave him a tithe of all.” (18-20).

The word “tithe” just pops up with absolutely no explanation at all. But did Abram just pluck this figure out of thin air? And, if so, why not 2% or 5% or 25%, why 10%?

According to Jewish sources (www.theonlinebibleschool.net) Shem (one of Noah’s sons) taught Abram to tithe. Abram was in Shem’s family line and Jewish tradition identifies Shem and Melchizedek as the same person. The Book of Jasher (which is quoted by Joshua and Samuel in the Hebrew Scriptures) records the fact that Shem had been Abraham's teacher, “And when Avram came out from the cave, he went to Noach and his son Shem, and he remained with them to learn the instruction of YHWH and his ways, and no man knew where Avram was, and Avram served Noach and Shem his son for a long time. And Avram was in Noach's house thirty-nine years, and Abram knew YHWH from three years old, and he went in the ways of YHWH until the day of his death, as Noach and his son Shem had taught him” (Jasher 9:5-6). Thus Abraham paid the tithe to Shem because Shem had been his personal teacher. The apostle Paul brings this truth into the New Covenant Scriptures, “The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him” (Galatians 6:6). The context of this verse is the disciple giving material support to his or her teacher.

The influence of Shem’s teaching about God’s tithe is found among the earliest nations (family clans) after the Flood. Tithing was commonly practiced among Gentiles. It was a custom required by the earliest priest-kings and tithing was practiced in ancient nations even before the time of Abraham. Tithing was a universal act among the earliest nations. The money was used to maintain holy shrines and support the priests.

In Genesis 14 Abram was still a Gentile. Although he became Abraham and the first patriarch of the nation of Israel, his tithing was not a Jewish act at all; in fact this event was 430 years before the Law of Moses.

The Law of Moses adopted the principle of tithing and developed it. Under Moses there were three tithes:

The Lord’s tithe: 10% of gross income that went to support the priesthood and temple (Numbers 18:21).

The Family tithe: 10% of the 90% that was saved for the future support of the family (Deuteronomy 14:22-27).

The Poor tithe: every third family tithe was given to the poor (Deuteronomy 14:28-29).

It’s fascinating to note that 4% of the American population today is Jewish and yet they own 40% of the wealth. The reason being that many of them still practice tithing.

The principle of the tithe was then adopted by almost every ancient culture from Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian empire to the temples of Apollo in Delphi and Athena in Athens, pre-Christian centers of worship collected tithes for their gods. Ancient cultures as different as the Greeks and Chinese—including the Arabians, Sicilians, Cretans, Phoenicians, Romans, Egyptians and Carthaginians—gave in ways mirroring the tithe.

Old Testament truth is still applicable to us today unless the New Testament presents truth that supersedes it. For example, Jesus cancelled the Old Testament food rules in Mark 7:17-19, but did not present truth that superseded tithing. In fact He endorsed it in Luke 11:42 & Matthew 23:23.

The New Testament actually increases the conditions of the law (read Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount” in which He increased the definition of murder and adultery amongst other things). If a tenth was required under the law, no less than a tenth is required under grace. The final mention of tithing in the Bible (Hebrews 7) refers back to the first mention – to the story of Abram and Melchizedek. Here the writer relates this mysterious King-Priest to Jesus the eternal King-Priest. As Abram willingly paid tithes to Melchizedek we willingly pay tithes to Jesus.

In New Testament times the Eastern Church began tithing out of obligation because they believed Jesus' conversation with the rich young man demanded sacrificial generosity. Church fathers like Clement and Irenaeus encouraged the church to exceed the Old Testament tithe because Jesus had freed them from the Law. I agree! In my experience those who proclaim that tithing is not for today are usually using it as an excuse to give less or nothing at all.

It’s likely that teaching on tithing originated with God and was then adopted by various nations and individuals from that point on. It seems clear that teaching on giving and generosity occurred very early on in human history. Consider the story of Cain and Abel who brought an offering (first mention) to God. Who taught them to do that? And why did God look with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor? It had nothing to do with animal sacrifice. It appears that Cain’s offering was an after-thought and was probably insufficient. God says to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” In some way Cain was disobedient to what God – and probably his parents – had taught him. God's displeasure with Cain's offering implies that Cain failed to meet some divinely revealed requirement.

Tithing is an ancient practice of giving 10% of a person’s increase in order to support to a certain person (a king or priest like Melchizedek) or an institution (like the priesthood or a sanctuary). The New Testament Scriptures make it abundantly clear that a church community has an obligation to meet the financial needs of its pastors – especially those whose work is preaching and teaching (1 Timothy 5:17-18; 1 Corinthians 9:7-12). Members of a local church have all the privileges of belonging to such a community but with all blessings come responsibilities and that includes financial support of that community. We have a responsibility to fund the spread of the gospel, to plant churches, to help the poor and to encourage justice. All of this takes a lot of hard work, and being generous with our time, energy and resources. It starts with the ancient practice of tithing! Have you started?

unstoppable51:
The passage you quoted is about Taxes, not Tithes. And here is the next verse after the one you quoted:

Mat 17:27 KJV Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

You can make your point without trying to twist scriptures to say what it didn't say. If we are to go buy by your logic, then Jesus later paid the tithe regardless of the motivation.

You see why you should never lift scriptures out of context to fit into your own beliefs?

Blessings!
