I'm convinced praying for your enemies to die by fire is a satanic, unholy and ungodly prayer that rebels against the very teachings of Jesus himself. It encourages people to focus on their enemies instead of God, the author and finisher of their faith. It keeps people under the bondage of fear, so their pockets can be easily accessed.

Instead of engaging in that kind of prayer, the Bible instructs us to put on the whole armor of God! God is able to protect his children from the so called perceived enemies, and we must have faith in God's ability as Christians.

NOETHNICITY:
Did Jesus abolish the laws of Moses?
Did he not say he came to fulfill them?

Exactly. Even Jesus believed in the old testament but for some people, it's just too hard so they disregard it, knowing fully that both the old and new testaments are the Word of God.

Some men sef! After he tattooed his Arabic inspiration (probably quaranic quotes) onto her backside so he can be praying while doing her. Nawao
Many are mad indeed

These are very reasonable demands that will help build up the super eagles and also scout and develop local players in the local leagues. This is an investment of $130k to help develop and build Nigerian football. If the NFF and the sports minister were doing their jobs well, Chelle won't have had to make some of these demands!
But it is Nigeria where we don't invest in the right processes but somehow imagine will obtain the desired results at the end through luck and abracadabra

And unfortunately as has been tending in recent times, no mention of any arrests! Couldn't they have liased with the police to trace and arrest every member of this criminal counterfeiting network, using the element of surprise?

I want to hear arrests with names and pictures!

Kudos nonetheless for getting these dangerous pharmaceuticals off the street!

Nigeria politicians are just for themselves they do not care what Nigerians are going through... that is why do not kill yourself for politicians

Exactly, they don't care. That's why I'm parked at paid asking what the government is doing - like they don't understand the people in govt are only after their own personal interests!
Me I'm taking and following TY Danjuma's advice and really on the government for nothing. Not even my personal or family security. Listen, if those mofos can organize themselves and attack your village, is your personal duty and obligation to organize yourselves and his them back, aura for aura! The only risk is death, and well, none of us is getting out of this life alive! But courage today leaves peace for the next generation. And those who meekly succumb to them also get killed, so is better to die doing something than to still be killed while on your knees begging to be spared.

With all due respect, a rope torniquet could have saved that girls life at the cost of her limb. I think she would have preferred to be alive with a leg amputated due to the torniquet than lose her life completely with her limbs intact.

Those are cute puppies. How much u buy am?

You are current and unbiased.

"China could sink half of our fleet in an afternoon. They have the most powerful navy in the world, and we have to be honest about that."

- Pete Hegseth. US secretary of defense

You guys are funny. If he told you about this, don't you think they have a plan for that? Do you think the US is just during on its ass, unaware of the threat China poses to it and doing something about it? But you just know it! You should apply for a job at the state department as an analyst guru.

The day China dates to challenge the US is the day it commits suicide, and it knows it. The US cannot and will not go down without a fight to the finish-and that, my friend, would be suicide for any country did enough to even think of trying it.

Just chill this ain't our fight, and this guy had it coming and deserved it. He gambled that Trump was joking during their negotiations when Trump gave him a last chance. If he didn't believe he was in the wrong, he wouldn't have been having those negotiations. Rather he would have been calling his allies for immediate military assistance, but regardless of what he asked for, what he received was diplomatic which failed.

In fact, he was negotiating the terms of his departure which included his retaining control of the armed forces. Trump declined the counter offer and have him a deadline. Instead of dealing with it seriously, he was making speeches and brandishing a sword. Then his security failed him at the last minute, which he should have known would happen.

So there's really no issue of whether Trump had the power or the right-it was more about whether he could walk free or answer some questions. Now he has time to answer those questions, at his convenience of course, but at Trump's behest.

Because Trump has the power. Make no mistake if Xi or Kim have the power, they wouldn't hesitate to make a move that consolidates their power or outright use it for their benefit. We see Russia, a proud BRICS member, trying to impose their will on Ukraine and not even having the common decency of declaring it a war. This might well be who those Ukrainian guys are fighting to their death. And right now, we also have NK firing weapons in the direction of Japan without the decency of an advance warning, just to be an annoyance and bully that can run behind a backyard to hide and then plead for handouts to survive later. These are both proud BRICStons.So BRICS really doesn't have a moral ground here.

And I wish America can extend this courtesy to other needy and willing nations to free the citizenry from an armed group that has assumed and retained power over the people by threat of death. I wish our country could be exempted from such a list

And Venezuela has really really suffered. More than Nigerians can imagine. From being a top economy not too long ago, to a situation now where everyone who can japa had done so, even just to do ashawo on the streets of New York while their daughters sleep in a shelter. Knowing this, they still go, just to get out of Venezuela, some only to settle in border countries and engage wholly in prostitution just to survive. And these are beautiful and smart people. My course mate at Cornell back then, a Venezuelan, was the smartest kid in the entire engineering faculty. And another professor was also a Venezuelan. I recall how sad they felt about the condition and direction of their country then, and an sure they are receiving and celebrating right now. Viva Venezuela.

To be honest, I detect a bit of admiration of what Dangote is doing business wise in this video. He also points out the huge work opportunity present for trained drivers at Dangote, which I both agree with. And if cost that NNPC would collect woto woto. I think Dangote is doing great and should continue to help force society to progress!

However, that doesn't mean practical issues like freely occupying federal and state highways should be applauded and not stridently condemned, for herein lies the elephant hiding in plain sight: the free and uncompensated utilization of public infrastructure to the detriment of other citizens by his trucks, such as down in this video.

This free accommodation that isn't granted to every business and citizen, is worth billions to the Dangote group as free, politically protected income.

samuelson06:
Thanks for the clarification. But what if the money (from UpWork) goes to my home country for my people? Would it still be a problem?

That would definitely still be a problem and when found out, clearly show premeditated intent to violate the terms of your visa. Don't forget that reputable corporations like UpWork are required to make regular disclosures to the government of their cash payments for tax purposes and social welfare contributions on behalf of their employees. They will not violate this law and risk fines for you. So there's a clear paper trail for anyone looking in your direction. Automatically generated by the system for any analyst that gets inspired to look into that. So keep your nose clean and live within the terms of your visa, or find a disreputable organization to work for, like the local Mafia/gangs what have you

Apple once again changes 'everything' as it has gone back to one large camera at the back to rule them all.

Copycats will jump on this new trend in 3... 2...

Mental issues exacerbated by the use of steroids. Sad.

seunmsg:
China is Nigeria’s biggest trading partner ahead of the US. Nigeria imported N14.14 trillion worth of goods and services from China and exported goods worth over N3 trillion in 2024.

So what this administration is shamefully and thoughtlessly proclaiming is a 13 trillion naira trade deficit with China, with no plans in place to address and reduce this disaster to our economy.
13 trillion naira that we are sending to China yearly, with no plans in place to stem this huge drain of our shared and limited resources.
And someone thought it wise to post this sobering indictment online, thinking it was an achievement? I'm flabbergasted.

Flame333:
Donald Trump just have four years and afterwards, one Democrat could reverse the entire trend...

And how does reversing that trend help the US covering this BRICS threat? Or do you think both Trump and the Democrats aren't aware of this threat and are both figuring out ways to confront it? Hopefully you don't want the US to just give up-no empire ever does that and there's no reason for the US to.
BRICS has to bring the positive results of this alliance to market first. Until then it's just posturing. Each country will go at the back to negotiate better terms for themselves later, to score needed political points at home. It's just time wasting politics and was a good opportunity to grab that hardened Putin who smiles and eats caviar while thousands die daily under his command.

I used to believe and still believe taxes are good in society as it forces citizens to pay attention to how their money is being used or misused. It brings the looting of politicians painfully close to everyone, and hopefully will help propel calls for accountability and transparency at the local levels. Rome wasn't built in a day, neither will Nigeria be rescued in a day, but these are necessary foundations for a successful future. I just admit I concur with Tinubu in this area

Please return her back to her parents. If you intend they do basic 6, ensure she sits for National Common Enterance and pick a Federal Government and Federal Government College in her parent's home stay. Do not change her school
Do not destroy her morale and that of your son. Your son might think it is right to look down on the lower class since that is the cue he will likely pick. Your wife is just a typical Nigerian because Nigeria endorses child abuse as she wouldn't dare say that if she lives abroad.

Oga Israel5, if you can follow this advice as the least worst situation you can offer that girl, I would not only commend you but also take over the future sponsorship of this girl, sight unseen and no strings attached. That way you'll have the financial freedom to hire a proper maid to assist your wife, and also free your conscience.
I understand the dilemma you face at this crossroad, and had struggled with such on the past - trying not to do the wrong thing but also trying to please everyone involved, so "peace can reign." But deep down, we know it's the wrong choice but lack the courage to push through. So I do appreciate your seeking advice and believe it's our mutual burden to support any brother that seems to be faltering and genuinely seeks assistance.

Sorry for the loss, bro and hope you can track and recover it.
By the way, I just looked up the VIN of your Sienna [4T3ZF19C63U540686] and it's reporting to be a 2003 Toyota Sienna, so that may be something to bear in mind as you contact police to assist with recovery.

[quote author=Saviola86 post=134828583]I am like £50 is roughly about N100,000 in naira but he used to get far more than that here in Nigeria on a daily so why did he sell everything to go labour for 100k when he was getting about 200k from his office In a Day /quote]

If I may ask, what business was he doing that was generating this 200k daily? Was it legit?

Didn't be intimidated by these threats. First things is you must stay collecting evidence. I suspect you haven't been doing that, what you would have attached them to this post. So video evidence when this guy is threatening you in court premises wearing his police uniform. And if possible, at least audio evidence where court officials are discussing your case outside court. Always have the audio recording app on your phone running when going to court, and if anyone explicitly tries to build you, obtain video evidence.

Secondly, I have the impression you're representing yourself in such a serious matter as the custody of your own children. You need to get a lawyer immediately. And finally, please install a call recording app on your phone and answer and record all phone calls from your soon to be ex-wife.
Whatever you do, don't give up. Fighting for your rights is never easy but must be done.

bassdow:
Wonder why the US is doing all in their power to end this conflict.

If I were the US, I would just withdraw and stop our assistance, and let Ukraine continue in their own capacity and with who ever decides to help them

That's precisely what they're showing signs of doing if Zelensky remains stubborn. Musk is also pointing out another form of US aid that's still being provided.

iykololo:
Musk's statement is not only boastful but deeply troubling. While it’s undeniable that Starlink has played a critical role in Ukraine’s defense, his framing of the situation reeks of self-importance and a dangerous level of influence over a sovereign nation’s war effort.

No private individual or company should wield such unchecked control over a country’s ability to defend itself. Musk has previously admitted to restricting Ukraine’s access to Starlink in certain operations, raising serious ethical concerns about a billionaire’s ability to single-handedly dictate the course of war. His comments highlight the urgent need for governments to develop independent and secure communication networks, ensuring that no one individual can hold an entire nation’s security hostage.

Musk may see himself as a benevolent tech savior, but his words reveal a troubling reality: Ukraine’s fight for survival should not be at the mercy of a single man’s whims.

Nice submission but you forget in reality, economics and wealth determine and even control wars. So billionaires have always controlled the direction of wars throughout history. It's unfolding right under our very eyes at the moment too

patrickcollins:
Germany, if they should rebuild their army, get into nuclear weapons production, Russia wouldn't dare them, Russia knows what evil the Germans can be and they don't make noise. They can lead Europe together with other big countries in EU. But Trump wouldn't dare impose the tarrif

Germany can do that easily, we all know that, and the picture you paint looks realistic. But don't forget what happened last time Germany rebuilt it's army. Not to speculate on the possible outcome this time around,

Won't it be cheaper for Germany and France to contribute a bit more to NATO? That would appease the Americans who feel they are supporting a larger than fair portion of the costs, and also build up the military capabilities of Europe to better withstand any anticipated attack either from Moscow alone or from both Moscow and it's allied nations. The problem for Europe is that increasing their contributions reduces their budgets for social welfare, which they believe is better for their citizens.

The US on the other hand, had a large demographic who believe they are spending too much on the military and want to cut back -but want the EU to fill in the gap left by this cutback. In fact, is hard to find an American who doesn't believe they're spending too much on the military, and need to reduce Pentagon budgets. This right here is an example of a way Trump has chosen to reduce the US military budget and other expenses.

Trump should definitely include the tariffs. The EU impressed tariffs on the US, but more importantly, the EU was indeed formed to serve as an economic counter-balance to the US. To unite the economic powers of the bloc members as leverage with other economic powers, of which is the US. China wasn't in view, and African countries are too disorganized to move in economic unity. China now is a major power that the EU negotiates against, but so is the US.
I will give fault in his using the word 'screw' but reality is EU is after EU interests and US should primarily be after US interests, while not neglecting to play the self imposed role of world police, at self cost.

Trump surviving sniper attacks does not necessarily mean he is the best man for the presidency

Maybe, Trump surviving sniper attacks might necessarily mean he is the best man for the presidency, hence the sniper attacks.

Your great grand papa and great grand mama for village who witnessed the Civil Wars, you think their BP did not rise?

How many of them died blind?

Even ur grand papa and mama for village as we speak, how many of them are blind?

How many of them have access to the best healthcare system in the world?

What did they do differently?

There is a secret behind all these things.

There are things hospitals will never tell you.

If u have a business where a billionaire comes in every week to pick up a drug from you and he gives you N1M every time he comes to pick that drug, will you give him what will make him stop coming to you permanently?

Let me not even talk too much.

What you're saying sort of makes sense, considering those I know who lived through the thick of the war, both actively and passively, yet are old men at this point with still perfectly good vision.
More importantly, I have an elderly aunt who can benefit from the knowledge you're sharing if it can work for her, as she's about to lose both eyes.

With all due respect Ma, you should not have disclosed the strength of your security personnel, and now you have made that mistake, it's time to at least double them both in Lagos and Abuja asap.

Magicdon:
all of you are saying, do in Rome as the Romans do, is he a woman or man, when did a man wearing shorts become provocative? The neigbour encroached on his rights, does he have a bum like woman or boobs, common he is a man for Christ sake, he should call police on the neighbour for harrassing him

Responding to the bolded, when he was harassed over it and even the authorities were called. That should have clued him in that his dressing was perceived as provocative and offensive.
