Am still waiting for news about trial, jail sentence and/or execution of apprehended Boko Haram operatives.

JesusAmbassador:
Do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit

No come threaten us for here.

Nonybb: guy u crack me up! And wat is the meaning of "wise men"? Where was it written in the bible? We have the Prophets, teachers, preachers, evangelist and so and so forth but wise men? This cult sef eh haha

No forget the Magi or "Wise Men" from the East weh been wan see baby Jesus when they born am. E be like say some of them loss their way from Bethlehem Ephratah come surface for SCOAN

plasmadocument: I have not been able to recover since i heard this. Don't really know how to take it or what it actually means. One would imagine that somebody at that level would be above 'dropping' or rather 'falling'. I believe the Spirit of God is in SCOAN and i at times envy the Wise Men that they really have what everybody else is looking for, to constantly be in the presence of God, as they work, eat and sleep in the church. How can he fall? What about those of us that are looking upto him to grow? God please come to his aid. Restore him, fortify him and put him back. We will be praying for him.

Eeeyaah! Sorry abeg no cry too much for another imperfect man

Gentle me: He was the likely candidate tipped by many to succeed TB Joshua

Are you a learner? Dem dey succeed chairmo for him company while e never die?

ojoyentalk: "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. " (Matthew 5:29).

So what shall we say to those that commit the despicable sin of gluttony (Prov. 23:20; Mt 11: 19; Titus 1:12)? That they should stop eating food lest they go to hell? Guy, can you see how solid spiritual food can only be assimilated by adults, not babes (Hebr 5:12-14)?

booqee: even wives of celebs parade themselves too as celebs. Cos why is she forcing her pics down our throat?? Cute family tho

Well there is one thing you could do to retaliate. Force your own pictures down her throat too. Can you do that for me?

spongeback: This type of crime won't happen in Nigeria, which hair them wan cut?? How many Nigerian girls can even tie there real hair as pony tail

But unknown to our women, they are fueling the hair robberies via their demand for human hair.

Sycophancy and patronisation at it's best!

It is those baby factories in the East that make miracles of this sort possible. No baby factories, no miracle babies!

The caption of this story is not accurate in my mind. The story should have been titled "Fred Amata Romances ....." or "Fred Amata Falls@

This true life story alnost made me shed tears! True love glorifies our maker and dignifies humanity.

coogar:

not in this lifetime.....
people don't just become destitutes, homeless, hungry and nakëd. you are a troglodyte comparing me to your homeless kinsmen in lagos.

shouldn't you as an igboman be ashamed people from your village are begging alms in lagos. if you are against their removal, why not house them? why not advise them to go back to onitsha and start a new life?

God bless you for your good statements. Tomorrow if they ask you of your religion, you will respond "Christian" or "Muslim". I am yet to meet an Ibo beggar in Lagos or elsewhere.

coogar:

humans, stones, feelings? you have the brain power of a mosquito. the process of weeding off destitutes should be a national practise. peter obi can also send destitutes of anambra to where they came from.......



lagos is too congested. fashola welcomes everyone to lagos as long as you are coming in to contribute to the development of the state. destitutes don't contribute, they destroy......and they have been sent safely to their state of residence.....

I hear you! What makes you think that you cannot be a destitute tomorrow even though you may be fine today? What makes you think that those your relatives in London cannot suddenly become bankrupt and destitute?

coogar:

agboola's parents are resident of anambra not indigenes....the process is to reunite deportees with their families wherever they are in nigeria, not necessarily the state of origin.

why are some nigerians daft?

Yeah, some Nigerians are daft and others are very unreasonable. By dumping those people by Onitsha headbridge in the dead of the night, they have really been united with their families! If the Fashola government is sincere on this issue, it should have traced those families and handed them over; probably with photos to show the "humanitarian deed".

coogar:

stop applying village sense to a national issue. the parents of emmanuel okon and victoria agboola can be anambra residents. the key is for the deportees to reunite with their families, not necessarily to take them to their states of origin!

if i am yoruba and my parents stay in zamfara, i would be deported to zamfara - that's the key!!!

"I would be deported to Zamfara"! See how it sounds in your mouth. When did deportation become our way of dealing with issues in Nigeria? Continue reasoning this way.

The way Nigerians are relating to this issue baffles me. Whether BRF wrote Obi or not, I still feel it is improper for any state to deport any Nigerian citizen to anywhere. If a governor finds destitutes in his state, he has to put them where destitutes are kept, not minding their state of origin. Any state that arrests criminals should prosecute them in the courts. You don't need to dump anyone for anybody. Nigeria can never be a united country as long as people are seen as visitors and strangers in their own country.

Even other countries provide for Nigerians. If there is no ethnic malice involved, I am waiting to see Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun destitutes sent back "home to unite with their kits and kin".

Who is even a Lagosian? Most of the persons now claiming to originate from Lagos are in actual fact from neighbouring states if you trace their roots. It may look convenient to take this kind of action but people should remember that noone knows what tomorrow will bring.

Going to bed early to save candles is false economy if the result is triplets!

Just a Chinese proverb.

Efemena_xy: Annoying story.

What is it with people living on the breadline, (barely able to eke a living for themselves, let alone support a family) producing like rabbits??

While he and his wife were busy humping themselves silly without protection or contraceptives, dem no remember to call on government, state, and well-meaning Nigerians??

Anyway, I don't believe they didn't know they were expecting triplets.

I think what really happened here was that she / they both went for the scan, were told they were expecting triplets and then the husband decided to 'mysteriously' disappear. A well calculated move on his part, knowing that they'll get more charitable responses if the woman is portrayed as an abandoned housewife with no means of income, left to cater for 5 kids...than him being in the picture.

Government aid ke, individual / group help ni...they better place their sights higher and appeal for international intervention.

Guy you wicked o! Make she go United Nations abi? Don't worry, I am prophesying a set of sextuplets for you and your wife soon

You are quite on point there. Many easily deny God in days of their youth. But times shall come when calamitious days arrive, when sickness and death calls, when hardship and perils draw near, when plans, expectations and projections faulter; then you will start to hear "God please", "Oh Lord help us", "God please don't let me die", "God I will buy you a car if you let my brother/sister/mother/father/son live"

God's Word puts it this way: "The senseless one has said in his heart (and even on Nairaland), there is no God" Ps 10:4-6; Ps 14:1; Ps 53:1; 1Cor 1:18-21;

Pharaoh said the same thing and later regretted it (Exod 5:2; 9:14-16,27) Nebuchadnezzar too and many others who failed to acknowledge God later regretted. Better come out of atheism and recognize your maker. Do not say I told you.

FOLYKAZE: Christianity is loosing it...........lol

Point of correction, Christendom is losing it, not Christianity. True followers of Jesus Christ still maintain the standards for which Christianity is known.

souldust: failed attempt! Why dont you go and show lekki, banana island, maitama, ikoyi, VGC, etc instead of this mushin street you are shoing here.

God bless you my guy! This is the same way oyinbo people usually portray us. Funny enough, our own people have started using oyinbo mentality. Granted that both countries produce oil, but how many people live in Quatar? Why won't they be awash with petro-dollars

alexleo:

Luke 16:19-31

19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell[d] from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”

If dem give you proverb, you no understand am. And when they give you common illustration self, you still don't understand. If dem give you proverb and explain am to you, di money wey dem take marry ya mama na in vain!

For starters, just read Mt 13:10 and hear what Jesus says about people like you. Verse 13 of that chapter says, "This is why I speak to them by use of illustrations because looking they look in vain and hearing they hear in vain, neither do they get the sense of it (Compare Isaiah 6:9,10)

o.obim:
These confusionists; which one b pool of blood that washes our sin every time we sin? Disgusting!

I thought the bible says that those who died in Christ shall be ressurected when our saviour returns.Wetin d sister dey do for heaven so soon? Just imagine millions of soul springing up from d earth n d oceans, lifting holy hands in worship to d king of kings.It is gona b mind blowing!
Believe n live right..it costs nothing! In d end, u will lose nothing.
Jesus shall return, He will! Life is deeper than we think.You won't understand until your soul leaves your body for a minute. There is a life after here

Point of correction, your soul does not leave your body. You are created a living soul and the soul (person) that sinneth shall die. Ezk 18:4

speedyboi: It has to be Channels, then silverbird. NTA too.

Why? Their picture quality is so so poor.
And for a person like me; once the picture is not clear, I'm not interested in anything they wanna communicate.

NTA has improved in picture quality anyway (not excellent), but still lacks good programmes.

Guy, you are saying that the best TV stations are the worst abi? You must be using Sanyo black and white tv

Mr. heaven and hell dreamer! Abeg park well joor, you no see nothing and nothing see you. You see Pastor Kumuyi's wife for heaven. And you no see Mother Theresa for there, abi? In short na high fever dey worry you.

DrummaBoy: Frosbel

Your write up generates questions as U will expect but while the article sounds nice, I cannot find in it any analysis of the myriads of scriptures that makes reference to hell.

Now someone said that hardly is there a mention of hell after the gospel but Jesus spoke of a God who can destroy body and soul in hell for all eternity. He said we should fear Him. I cannot find the ref' now but know what I mean.

How do U explain that?

The place you mentionted is Mt. 10:28 and the original word used is Gehenna not hell. Gehenna is nothing but a refuse dump used as a symbol of total destruction by Jesus.

If you can compare different translations of the Bible, you will discover the words "hell", "world of the dead", "hades" and "sheohl" used interchangeably.

Since you wish to read other scriptures, check out these:
Rev 20:13-15 says that hells freed those in it and that hell itself was thrown into the lake of fire. Not only that, lake of fire is said to be the SECOND DEATH.

Acts 2:31,32, Jesus was said to have gone to hell, that his body was not allowed to rotten in "hell", but that he was resurrected by God. Compare Hos 13:14

Jerem 7:31; 19:5 and 32:35. God was incenced that ancient Israelites were burning people in fire. If God was angered by this action, why would he turn back and start burning sinners in Dante's inferno EVERLASTINGLY?

Lk 16:19-31 Regarding the rich man and Lazarus. Should we take this parable of our Lord Jesus literally? Should we take other illustrations of Jesus literally? Can all those who expect everlasting life all fit into Abraham's bosom? Will a drop of water be able to quench the taste of someone burning in hellfire? What can one estimate to be the distance between heaven and hell that messages can be passed from one to the other? What was the sin of the "rich man" and what was the righteousness of the "poor man"? Was Jesus not illustrating the change in circumstances between the self-righteous Pharisees and the common Jews who accepted the gospel?

Job 14:13-15 (Catholic Dy version). Why did righteous man Job pray for God to preserve him in hell and later "call" (resurrect) him?

What will be the place of resurrection, a pivotal teaching in Christianity, in all these hellfire torment teachings? (1Cor 15,16)

What is aerotropolis? Is it not an airport with its surrounding areas? It that not what we have at the moment? Anytime they want to eat our money, they will coin big sounding words so that they can award contracts for their benefit and our detriment.

katordidi: are u serious? Even the one with players celebrating a trophy!

Dey there now! No be Naija we dey?

Timijo: I am not disputing the fact that the posters are funny. But why are you making mockery of it? Is this how to encourage people to accept JESUS CHRIST? And you are also a christian. You will never see the people from the other religion making mockery of their faith, but we christian are fond of that. Is this how to preach the true gospel?

Why won't somebody make mockery of those religious comedians? Are the promoters of such comedy not making mockery of Christianity? By the way how can you prove that they are Christians? Which "gospel" do you believe those jokers are preaching except gospel of the belly. Nonsense!
