obembet: Nigerians in the UK community conducted an election and according to their own announced results, the “number of votes casted” is more than the “number of voters”. Did ghosts also vote?
This is an election where barely 500 people actually voted. Yet the results is still a fraudulent scam.
Dtruthspeaker: This one is even too much. The simple ones like do not lie, steal, envy your neighbour and do not fornicate or do adultery, you can see people have said they won't obey
Without driving and traffic rules, we all have ways we prefer to drive but we decided to follow those rules. Does that make it easy..no
richmond500: who is talking about light and darkness here? I am saying ur God created sin and is going to damn us eternally for the sin he created. The universe is so endless but he chooses to plant the tree that will destroy us in the garden of Eden and then the omini-presence God was nowhere to be found when Adam ate the fruit. Ur God set us up
If you don't understand those few lines, you can never understand anything about God's principles
Ruke1989: it is obedience that is not easy without faith. Once you obey, righteousness follows. But to obey difficult instructions like what God gave Abraham is humanly impossible. Also, in our generation, many cannot obey difficult instructions to flee premarital and extra marital sex, desist from lying, stealing, deceiving or blackmailing their neighbours. But with faith one can commit to doing these things God commands. Righteousness is the end result of obedience to God's instructions. Or let me say, our obedience expresses our faith towards God - it's the proof that we have faith
You are using your brain to interprete now, you will fall into interpretation error. Stick to what the Bible says
Stepout23: I remember a story I heard some years ago from a friend whose younger cousin graduated from one of the federal universities in Nigeria. When she graduated, her family celebrated, took pictures, and danced. She graduated with a second-class upper, so it calls for celebration because it is believed that her chance of getting a job was high. But a few months later, reality hit hard.
She couldn’t find a job. Her parents supported her for a while, but they couldn't do much because they have other of her siblings in school too. Rather, they were expecting her contribution to the family already since she has graduated. She didn’t know how to budget her little savings. She had no idea how to start a business or even write a proper CV.
One day, she came to my friend, who happened to be her cousin, crying, “Aunty, nobody told me it would be like this.” 💔
When she narrated her story to me, that’s when it hit me. Schools prepared us for exams, but not for real life.
As Nigerian parents, we work hard to give our children the best education, but is school enough? In today’s world, our children need more than just math and English. They need real-life skills that schools don’t teach.
Here are 10 important lessons your child MUST learn to succeed in the real world:
1️⃣ Financial literacy 💰 (How to budget, save, and invest)
2️⃣ Digital literacy 📱 (How to stay safe online)
3️⃣ Emotional intelligence 🧠 (Managing feelings and relationships)
4️⃣ Critical thinking 🤔 (How to analyze information and make smart decisions)
5️⃣ Entrepreneurship 📈 (How to start and manage a business)
6️⃣ Problem-solving 🛠️ (Handling challenges in real life)
7️⃣ Self-discipline 📆 (Managing time and responsibilities)
8️⃣ Negotiation skills 🤝 (How to get what you deserve)
9️⃣ Coding & technology skills 💻 (The future of work is digital!)
🔟 Self-defense & safety awareness[b][/b] 🛡️ (Protecting oneself in any situation)
💡 If schools won’t teach these, who will? As parents, let’s make sure our children don’t face life unprepared.
What do you wish you had learned earlier? Let’s discuss in this thread! ⬇️
richmond500: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he killed his own child so we can be saved from his wrath.
He created the devil, created sin, wickedly planted the fruit in the garden and then we are going to suffer eternal damnation for something that is 100% his fault and now he wants to save us from his torture? And that is supposed to be a fair justice?

theafricadailyp: The South African Police Service (SAPS) has dismantled an online drug syndicate, arresting six suspects linked to the sale of illegal steroids, stimulants, and counterfeit medicines. Three men and three women were taken into custody in Pretoria.
The suspects face multiple charges under the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act, the Medicines and Related Substances Act, and the Counterfeit Goods Act.
The arrests followed a takedown operation on Tuesday, 11 February 2025, after an investigation by the SAPS National Organised Crime Investigations (OCI) Narcotics Unit. The operation was carried out with support from the SAPS Transnational Vehicle Crime Investigation (VCI) Unit, Gauteng Provincial Narcotics Unit, Crime Intelligence, SAPS K9 Search and Rescue, the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport, and the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC).
Investigators discovered that the group ran an online platform selling counterfeit and illicit performance-enhancing drugs, scheduled medicines, and banned stimulants. Forensic analysis found that one product, marketed as a “fat burner,” contained Dimethylphenethylamine, an isomer of methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth or Tik.
Authorities seized large quantities of illegal drugs, including steroids, scheduled medicines, stimulants, and electronic devices used in the operation.
Ruke1989: Righteousness is not hard. You have the bible so it should not be hard for you to know the specific things bible calls sin in the new testament if you read them with open mind. You can copy those things out and try to be blameless in each
Zechariah was called upright and perfect man , job was called perfect man who walked in all the commandments of God blameless. There are specific verses in the bible that names what GOD considers sin. So copy those things out and try to be blameless in those area first. There is no faith without obedience. Abraham's faith is anchored on his two acts of obedience to difficult instructions from God
Like take your son and sacrifice for me?
Leave your comfort zone to a new land where I would show you?
These instructions doesn't make sense by human understanding. Righteousness isn't easy without faith
gohf: The message that brought you to Jesus can you remember it?
This question is may be tough to answer, even for me, many don't even remember the day or period they surrendered all to Jesus. Well I can't understand how anyone can forget the day they choose to die, the day they choose to forsake all and follow Jesus, the day they made a vow and commitment except they never took it seriously or it wasn't a serious moment in their lives. Paul would repeat his encounter a number of times as we read through acts, to show how much of an impact that was in his decision to follow Jesus. But do you know Paul may not have remembered Stephen's words and prayer he heard.
Personally my answer to that question honestly is no, I don't remember the exact message but I remember my encounter with Jesus. Infact I remember the answer a new convert from a federal boys school in Lagos, gave one day and because of that answer he is one of the few names I remember from highschool, what did he say that day, "speak the truth in love". I remember incidents like these because they formed the echoes of the words that rang in my heart for years.
This is what I want to say to those who evangelize, it doesn't matter how people react when you preach, just trust the Holy Spirit he does the work you cannot do, just obey God and go, obey God and speak. Forget about the bad boy or girl everyone once saw you as, and let God put his words in your mouth. Your message may be the key to unlock the soul of someone.
Some of you it may have been the words of your parents, the words of someone in a bus or some friend you may not even remember. But today I hope you remember that you encountered Jesus because someone else let God use them and so let someone else encounter Jesus because of you. That my friends is love at work through you. God bless you
Jn 3:16....so straightforward. That's the gospel. That's the whole Bible in 2-3 lines
‘Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”’ Galatians 3:6
Some might think of Abraham as having a halo around his head. Hardly. Not once, but twice he throws his wife under the bus. As they travelled through Egypt, Abram says to Sarai, ‘You’re a beautiful woman; I’m afraid the Egyptians will want to kill me so someone can have you for a wife, so let’s tell them you’re my sister’ (see Genesis 12:11-13). Pharaoh does take Sarai into his harem and gives Abram, her ‘brother’, a bunch of sheep, cattle, donkeys, servants, and camels. Rather than feeling guilty and coming clean, Abram simply says, ‘Thank you very much.’
And if you think that’s bad, when Abraham and Sarah (previously known as Sarai—see Genesis 17:15) are in the Negev later on, recorded in Genesis 20, he does the whole ‘she’s my sister’ routine a second time. Why doesn’t God just give up on him? Because Abraham doesn’t give up on God! Abraham eventually reached the place in his walk with God where his biography reads: ‘Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform’ (Romans 4:18-21 NKJV). Note the words ‘strengthened in faith’. God’s plan is not to discard you, but to develop your faith and use you to bring glory to His name.
The word righteousness comes from "right doing "
And what is right in God's sight might be difficult for human to process or comprehend...and that's where faith comes in
judewrites: 📖 Genesis 38 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁸ And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. ⁹ And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. ¹⁰ And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
In the Old Testament God gave His people some laws concerning the discharge of semen from a man. (Leviticus 15:16-18)
According to these laws:
👉Anytime a man discharges his semen outside procreation (with his wife) he is considered unclean.
👉Any type of surface a man's semen falls upon is considered unclean.
👉When a man is in the process of procreation (with his wife) and he discharges his semen externally, both of them are unclean.
From these laws, we can see how sacred/sacrosanct man's semen is to God.
God ordained that man's semen should be utilized in procreation (with His wife) and not discharged carelessly/anyhow like in the case of Onan.
God killed Onan because he in outright disobedience, desecrated his semen by pouring it out on the floor instead of procreating with Tamar. (As custom then allowed it to raise children to represent his dead brother)
The major purpose of a man's semen is for procreation; to produce children on earth:
📖 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. — Psalms 112:2
The semen of man is full of supernatural creative energy from God. It can create life therefore it is highly valuable in the spiritual realm.
This is why the more a man practices semen retention, (with bible reading/prayer) the more supernaturally creative he becomes like God Himself. (Hebrews 11:3)
The devil and his cohorts also seek semen to create life/exercise power in the demonic realms.
In God's perspective, a man's semen is LIFE and can create LIFE; therefore it shouldn't be treated with levity like it's done today with many through masturbation, MouthAction, homosexuality, fornication, etc
Unfortunately, the free availability of pornography/prostitution has misled much men in freely desecrating their semen attracting the wrath of God:
📖 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men... — Romans 1:18
We are under the dispensation of grace by the blood🩸of Jesus, that's why God's wrath hasn't been fully manifested yet.
But grace period will be over soon.
The bolded is a lie. Where is semen retention in Heb 11:3....please be silent where the Bible is silent .
2. Semen retention doesn't make you super human
You started well by stating the law and why God punished Onan but your finishing is filled with man based doctrine
