Na so!

That's his track record. It would have made him unpopular with the political elite but popular with the masses

Loud it please!
This is one of the reasons people voted for Obi - this would have been one of the things he would have tackled - reduction of cost of governance!! And EVERYBODY knew it!
I like the title.
Nlfpmod front page please

MrBrownJay1:
what Nigerians are arrested in Kenya?! are they getting arrested solely for being Nigerians?!

Generalmystic:
Omo why are Nigerians being arrested in Kenya again?.

Why are they being extorted

Why?
Well, because being Nigerians it's either they've committed a crime or they are about to commit a crime. So Kenyan police are just being proactive - arrest first, then later find out the crime they committed or about to commit

Gppgn:
Any lady here on nairaland with her picture on her profile is either into Hook up or looking for a man...

But 99% have fake pic and 80% are really men.
Now, what do you have to say about that??!

Can you please first tell us what is Martphone

TsbAfrica:
In Africa the male and female politicians are only different by gender ... But they always have the same agenda.

I think the females may be worse - I don't think any African politician, except heads of state, have stolen more money than that pretty woman, Diezani Alison-Madueke!

Have you lost your mind?

Ahmed0336:
Raping a16 years old boy 300 times.

That guy must be lucky to have survived.

I'm telling you, he'd be destroyed for life!
But if the age of consent were 15 (as it is in some places) then he'd have enjoyed it like any normal horný 16-year-old with raging hormones who'd Bleep anything!

Kobojunkie:
The body which you see contains all that is the man. A man is made up of a mind, body, and soul, and when the man dies his mind, body, and soul are not separated from each other.

Exactly what I said you said!
Gotcha!
I'm the master!

Kobojunkie:
You are the one here trying to define a body. I am instead focused on asserting that which is stated in Scripture, an idea that focuses not on the parts but on the entirety of that which is a man.

But according to you, the entirety of a man is buried with the body. Isn't that what you said?

Kobojunkie:
This is what God said in Genesis 3 vs 19 when He cursed Adam
The statement in red, much like the statement perish in the grave is a figure of speech meaning the man(you) who dies will cease to exist. This indicates that there is no afterlife/eternal for said man. It means his mind, body, and soul will never again be reconstituted to the same consciousness, that unique entity that once existed in that combination which is the mind, body, and soul. It will simply be dust as though it were never a man. So, in answer to your question, I didn't say the body ceases the exist, rather I said the man ceases to exist.

■ Let's take this opportunity to consider your earlier statement or question against Scripture.
Consider what Jesus Christ will take place at the time of the resurrection.
Given what is written, I take it that you, in fact, believe that only those dead bodies that are in their literal graves will hear the voice of Jesus Christ and be raised from the dead? All those who were cremated and thrown out to sea or even the bodies thrown into the sea or whose dust has been blown out by the wind will not be resurrected by Jesus Christ?

Well, point is, if you define a body as a certain thing , then after that thing has been burnt and turned into vapor that mixed with the air and blown all over, with some particles of it breathed in by millions of people, whatever you defined as body has ceased to exist. You don't keep referring to it as if it still exists.. That's how things work in this our reality!

descarado:
Thank you.

People ought know, you become like who you associate with

SeriouslySense:
at least you agreed that he is under the roof of his father and should adhere to the values of his dad, until he can move out.

As long as the values don't impinge on his very humanity vis-à-vis constantly hearing he should live his life entirely on the basis of what people may think

Rayban25:
The way you're talking it's either you grew up in an orphanage or your grew up with parents that contributed nothing to your growth at all.

Why do you have to make it about him? Why not simply address his points?

SangoOlukosoOba:
I must commend your dad for his patience. He is a real man!

If I was your dad, you will be on a wheelchair with no arms and legs. I will report myself to the police station when I am done with you!

You have a great dad.

He is 18. You are assuming his dad can physically beat him up.
I'm not surprised his dad is poor. That's exactly what his type of attitude leads to and he's trying to pass it on to his son and the poor kid instinctively knows it's wrong and resisting.
OP, my advice, be very respectful towards your dad but be away from him as much as you can. Move out of his house as soon as you can afford it. The greatest gift you can give yourself is freedom from what people think. He is unfortunate to have the opposite and he's doing his best to pass it on to you!

IamGreen1:
Yes you're right, I want another baby two more boys precisely but I'm not ready.

After just having a baby most women swear never to allow themselves ever get pregnant again. But 2 years or so down the line they want nothing more than another baby. And it continues so for life. Even old women want a baby!

Okhuadams:

I'd say weird. What do you say?

Benwallt:
We don't kick our mothers nor others people's mother in Yoruba land

God forbid!
Borrowing a bit of their skull for ritual is another matter all together

Timoleon:
there are things that just don’t make sense bro. This is one of them. The Lagos bar beach is in Victoria island. There us no connection to ikeja. To put ikeja in darkness because he wants to walk naked on the island Na talk wey no follow.

I’d like to believe you are not in Lagos though or you are just catching cruise.

You ought go read the biography. He had to walk out naked according to Dr. Fayemiwo, didn't say anything about walking naked on Bar Beach. But now I think of it, makes sense. If you want to sneak out in the middle of the night, do you leave the lights on? You want the lights off, even if you not naked,

Kobojunkie:
Well, what do you mean when you say the body no longer exists?

Honestly define a body. When that thing you defined no longer exists, the body no longer exists

Timoleon:
did he trek from ikeja to bar beach? Why did ikeja have to be in darkness if the sacrifice is to be made at Lagos bar beach?

Dunno. So his neighbors won't see his unclothedness I guess. You need to ask Dr. Fayemiwo

Kobojunkie:
How does any of that change any of what I have posted so far?

Well, reconcile the fact that the body no longer exists with this your statement:

There is no God demanding back the soul when one dies. The soul remains inside of the body even while the body is buried in the ground.

Kobojunkie:
Why am I having to explain figurative speak found in scripture several times today?

Figurative speech #1: From dust you were made and to dust you return and Perish in the grave means you perish or cease to exist when you die, absolutely no afterlife/eternal life earned.

Figurative speech #2: Sleep in the grave or to sleep with the fathers means to have eternal life/afterlife and so will not cease to exist after death.

For candidates of eternal life, it does not matter whether their dust is stored on the moon or the dust cast into the sea, come time of the resurrection, Jesus Christ said they will hear Him and be raised from the grave(figurative speech #3) meaning raised back to live - John 5 vs 19 -29.

And if the body has been eaten by wild pigs, digested, some of it now part of the pigs' muscles and the rest shitted out?

This is indeed a vile-mouthed slow poke

What do you think happens when they can no longer afford it because price of dollar is too high?

Kobojunkie:
Whether you scatter it to the moon, the mind,body and soul are never separated. They are all of them made from the dust of this earth and to dust - Genesis 2 vs 5-7

Come again? You said it sleeps "in the grave" with the body. Suppose there is no grave. Suppose the body is eaten by wild pigs and what's left, eaten by vultures?

Ihateheadslamer:
Anyone among the Nigeria politicians that is against the "Japa Syndrome" is an enemy of progress

What they can do is, they can make it more expensive and more difficult to japa

Of course! Their children have to japa, and some of them too!

Kobojunkie:
■ According to Scripture, when a human being dies, the soul does not leave the body meaning that there is no God demanding back the soul when one dies. The soul remains inside of the body even while the body is buried in the ground and it remains intact even as the body, along with the bones, turns to physical dust. The same is the case for those who earn eternal life except that rather than figuratively be returned to dust --- cease to exist ---- the individual--- mind, body,and soul(along with spirit companion) are said to sleep in the grave.

So when you attend a funeral and you hear people say things like the person is no longer in the body, there is no truth to that claim at all, at least not where Scripture is concerned. That soul still resides in that body, only the breath of life that once animated it is what returns to God --- the same breath of life breathed by God into all living beings.

Obviously begs the question: suppose the body is cremated and the ashes scattered across the seas as some people request?
