alBHAGDADI:
1 Timothy 3:2-5 KJV
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)


The news that made the rounds recently is that Nollywood Actor Yul Edochie has started his own pastoral ministry, a church he named True Salvation Ministry. If Yul Edochie is promising true salvation, then we need to ask if the man himself is saved then go ahead to place him in the light of the Bible before concluding if he's worthy to be a pastor.

Nowhere in his entire ministry has he shown his church's Statement of Faith which will determine if he believes in Works Salvation or the salvation gotten through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. That's by the way.

The above Bible passage alone exposes why Yul Edochie cannot be a pastor. The passage says a pastor must be "the husband of one wife". Yul Edochie has two wives who have children for him. The claim that he's not married to the second wife, Judy, is a claim that even monkeys won't believe if wrapped in banana. There are bedroom videos of him and Judy. There are PDA videos of both of them. He recently posted that he doesn't joke with the lady who has a child for him. All these to the detriment of his first wife May Edochie.

The reason the Bible stipulates as a must for a pastor to be of one wife is that it will portray the pastor as someone with discipline. But a movie actor who sleeps around despite being married won't hesitate to sleep with the women in his congregation.

The passage also said "A bishop then must be blameless". As we will see later on in this post, Yul Edochie is not blameless. Yes, he also not "vigilant, sober, of good behaviour" as required by the Bible. How can he be called a pastor when he has videos of him engaging in bitter quarrel with the second women in his life that displaced his wife May Edochie? That makes him a "Brawler", which is one of the things the above Bible passage said a pastor must not be.

The Bible passage also said a pastor must not be "greedy of filthy lucre". Only a fool won't see clearly that Yul Edochie is going into church ministry for money. The passage shows he's not qualified for a role, yet he has taken it up. That shows he took it up for the money. Man is going to make huge gains via YouTube views. All he has to do is take on the form of Fake Pastor Jerry Eze who blabs like a toddler whilst thinking he's speaking in tongues. All he has to say is "God Told Me", and women, both married and single, will flood his channel to potentially replace his second wife.

The part of the above Bible passage that also destroyes Yul Edochie's claim of pastorship is below.

"...one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"

The Nollywood Actor acting as a pastor doesn't rule his household well. His actions have made his wife May Edochie to flee their home after he welcomed a new wife. I would have wondered what the wife has been doing since she fled their home but Yul Edochie has made it known. He recently showed that he has no rulership over her when he said, "You had time to do breast enlargement surgery and tummy tuck without your husband's consent".

The Bible said, "for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?"

A word is enough for the wise.

adonainana:
Jesus Christ of Nazareth who runs this country.

Nigeria must grow itself out of the problems it currently finds itself. Banning 43 items won’t help, mopping up extra dollars in the banks won’t help, even Dangote refinery won’t help.

WE MUST DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY.

The maths and economics behind this is simple. You import so much and you export just oil thus leaving you with a balance of trade deficit.
Even the oil you claim you export , you cannot refine it properly hence you have to sell the crude oil to countries that can refine it and you buy (IMPORT) it back.

What a waste.

WHY NOT DIVERSIFY THIS ECONOMY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

INSTEAD of corpers shouting corper wee wee at camps from morning to night . CONVERT ALL NYSC camps to COCOA processing and packaging centres .

Incentivise corpers who are willing to go extra mile and become Agro prenurs by tripling their monthly allowance . Leave the corpers who are looking for white collar job after service alone

Grow cucumbers, lettuce, oranges, pineapples,

ONCE EVERY NYSC camp has been converted to a farming centre send entourages to Europe to look for buyers

Yes NIGERIAN CUCUMBERS, NIGERIAN COCOA, NIGERIAN ORANGES , in tons in their millions

See how much rain falls in this blessed land. Almost every single crop can grow here

Uk imports bananas all the way from South Africa and panama . PLEASE PEOPLE OF GOD. Which country is closer to the UK by sea. Panama or
South Africa

If European countries are NOT COOPERATING and done want imported NIGERIAN COCOA , NIGERIAN BANANAS CLOSE DOWN THIER EMBASSIES or better still sell part of NNPC to them and in return they must buy Nigerian cocoa .

Do you know how many coffee making companies in Europe need cocoa to make coffee and chocolate

AGRICULTURE IS FREE.

Build more NYSC camps and simply extend the scheme to poly graduates and do the same offer them big money to make them and work for the Cocoa farms and the banana Plantations.

The NYSC camps in the south can manufacture tons of food for export

The NYSC camps in the north can manufacture similar food groundnut, wheat etc for export

The Nigerian government in Abuja ensures this products are exported with speeed

What’s wrong with THE UK ONLY IMPORTING BANANAS from Nigeria

What’s wrong with going to France and seeing only imported Nigerian carrots

WHY OIL FOR GODS SAKE

Agriculture is free ,
Sunshine is free
Rain is free

Oil you need to go and first find it , extract the crude oil , find a way to go and refine it , THEN YOU CAN ONLY SELL THE refined oil the price OPEC is selling a barrel at the time of the date. The price of oil is pegged at the international market .

NIGERIA NIGERIA PLEASE WHY GO THROUGH THIS STRESS

PLEASE PLEASE DIVERSIFY THIS ECONOMY.

Go back to what you did before you discovered oil and the oil cursed you , and 50 years on the curse is visible .

Human beings eat and most human beings eat food that are grown inside the ground

No matter how rich a country is in oil , it most import it’s good from somewhere

Do you know how much arable land Nigeria alone has in the south .

Why are we wasting our time with this oil nonsense

Even if it’s bananas

Even if it’s mangoes

At least we know we officially supply another country mangoes and bananas full stop

Converting NYSC camps into mega farms and processing centres where rural farmers can sell their produce and from there the National government can use its power to get it out of the country to sell .

IF ELECTION MATERIALS can get anywhere surely rural farmers can get their produce to the nearest NYSC CAMP that would now serve as mega centres

Even local airports in Nigeria part of it can be conveyed to mega processing farms so some produce can easily be flown to Lagos ports

Please if any one with links to the FG in Abuja can see this . This is not just a passionate plea or advice. THIS IS WHAT WOULD SOLVE NIGERIA PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL

Please we must grow our exports . Agriculture is the only area of
Life where you grow money in the soil.

There is a saying that a farmer can never be poor now imagine a country that exports food to feed the other countries

Please leave Dangote to be selling his own jeje and diversify the economy

Please I am pleading

I have been asking this question since last week,and I really need some Intelligent Nigerians to please educate me.
What's causing the downward spiral of the Naira to the Dollar, Can the CBN and the Banks please release the industries where the dollar demand is coming from.
I can say for a fact that NNPCL already told us petrol is no longer subsided,all diesel and Aviation fuel importers have given them selves some sense and have totally reduced their importation because of the Dangote Refinery.
Even Manufactures have reduced importation of essential raw materials,from Drugs to household essentials,everyone is cutting back on importation cos of the high Usd,so what's causing the spike in Demand.
My economic theory is very simple and I hope I get some Intelligent rebuttals,anyone buying Usd this high at 1$ to 1400,will never make a profit on whatever they import.
No right thinking importer will do business at such a ridiculous rate and still expect to make a profit,so who's buying this Usd.
I daresay this spiral is just open ended round tripping,the banks and the bureau are really the ones buying and selling this Usd,they create an artificial supply and demand bogus economy just to milk the Nigerian economy.
EFCC,NSA,ICPC should categorize these people as Economic Terriorist and treat them as such.
God bless Nigeria.

MrEverest:
Lol, who are these ones? FAAN has been relocated to Lagos along with CBN and others are going to be relocated from Abuja to Lagos too. Tinubu has returned the capital to Lagos and there is nothing the north can do about it.

Firstly, he removed Fulanis and other northerners in crucial positions like Customs, CBN and NNPC and replaced them with Yorubas. What did you people do aside to make noise? Now he has technically moved the capital back to Lagos, it’s only noise you will make too.

Meanwhile, if you guys think you will remove him through the ballot, then you’re out of your mind. Tinubu will remove Mahmoud and replace him with a Yoruba omoluabi who will ensure he wins the election by all means necessary, even if it means grabbing and running with it. By the time Tinubu is done with you guys, you won’t even have mouth to talk again.

I won't lie, I married my wife so she could help in adjusting my then way of life.
She's so spiritual and me? Na Nafdac Approved Fornicator
Bro, I studied her for 7years + and I just knew that I needed someone like her in my life if not na express I dey. Glad I did and I will say that's the best decision I have made in my life. Almost 18years in marriage now

I pray yours too will be the same
NAFDAC approved statement is funny

Yankee101:
What of 419, round tripping and cheating your old employer you worked with as a banker? There’s a reason you’re called cowboy banker.

Any thief with opportunity can accomplish what you did. Not everyone has the soul or strength to be a thIef and hardened at the same time

For Otedola to come out and say you basically cheated him out of transcorp, what of the many many you did it to that don’t have a platform? We’ll be calling out Nigerian elites, no more sweeping under the carpet. You and Dangote should be in jail

easzypeaszy:
My salary back den wt a private company was 15k but my take home was 75k monthly.
Usually level 8 in Lagos get about 125k so the take home can be 155k if na Buhari dan man will nvr listen.
All of use are insulting Tinubu now bc dude is frm the South.. Northern leaders don't care like Buhari

helinues:


But all what you listed are the measures the current government is being taken. The past government claimed we consumed 61m litres or so per day, now, we are hardly at 26m litres per day, remove the subsidy paid in those litres which most of the fuel won't even make it to Nigeria.

Our neighboring countries citizens are even feeling the removal of fuel subsidy in their country than Nigerians. NNPC, NNPL, Oil marketers, market regulators would all be looked into

Zxcvbnmghtr:
So what difference will it make apologizing? Some people just like making unnecessary noise. Almost 95% of Nigerians were against the removal of the subsidy in 2012 simply because we did not trust the government of the day.

Azman petroleum should forever be grateful to president buhari because they guy really helped him.
Buhari gave this guy and AYM SHAFA crude lifting contract. Since them his fortune increased. From AZMAN AIR, AZMAN FARMS now AZMAN UNIVERSITY

Seb4luv1:
For those of you who think all Pastors are scammers because their prophecies about the presidential election failed, listen to this YouTube video, There are still prophets who speak the mind of God. Prophet Frank gave the exact result as Apc will come first, Pdp second, and Labour Third. Rejoice Nigerians, for Tinubu regime will transform the economy six months after his swearing-in. A way that will amaze everyone.

Again, he said the mind of God, the governor of River State will be decorated by his opposition party, and that appointment will lead to a major job creation for the niger delta but we should pray for his health.

Dsalvo:


Please stop talking like a defender of criminality. Yes Matawalle may have his own case to answer but this does not mean he cannot give his opinion on Emefiele's actions which are a monumental disgrace I don't think has been seen anywhere in the world in recent memory.

Emefiele undermined the integrity of the entire monetary system of Nigeria. Do you understand what that means and how seriously such is taken worldwide?

No greater crime than that at national level because any country with a rogue central bank and saboteur central bank Governor is doomed to implode 100%.

Emefiele, working for very selfish and irresponsible people, supervised the monumental loss of value of Naira against the major trading currencies of the world destroying so many small to medium businesses to the unspeakable detriment of Nigeria.

Creating SMEs, small to medium size enterprises, is always the aim of most nations because they are the lifeblood of the economies of many developed Countries. Emefiele directly worked to kill and frustrate our own SME sector. He is an evil and thoughtless rogue without any conscience or goodness in him.

Emefiele must be punished and seen to be punished very severely. It is a measure of how bigoted and casually criminal Nigerians have become that even one Nigerian can defend Emefiele never mind many who will begin senseless 'whataboutism' over his unforgiveable actions as you are doing here.

Never forget Emefiele's criminal actions put an entire nation in serious and grave trouble. Not one State alone.

DownTime44:
Hi guys


Please i put up this post basically because of my elder brother. I sincerely want to know if i was wrong talking to him, or I could have just let him be. I wasn't myself ever since i talked to him, and i was somewhat having guilty conscience since then.


I have an elder brother, he's 38 years old and also the first son. I am the fourth child in the family of five. The second child is a female and she's married. We lost our third child, that's my immediate elder brother some years back, while i have a younger brother. I came from a humble background. Lost my dad while i was in JS 3, even before his death we had been hustling on a daily basis for survival, and we live happily as one big family. My mother, siblings and i do hawk daily before we could eat. All thanks to public school in Lagos, my family wouldn't have had the opportunity to basic education. We hawk daily after school, weekdays and weekend. My family was bred and brought up in Ajegunle.


Few years after the demise of my father, we struggled to pay house rent. We had to leave Ajegunle to a local and developing area. I didn't allow my family conditions deter or weigh me down. Never! I believe I'd make it in life legitimately without venturing into crime, fraud, theft etc. After my secondary school, i was into all sorts of labour work. I worked in factory, building site, cleared bushes, laundry man , just to save up and further my education. I worked for 6 years after my secondary school, bought a bike from the little savings i had and proceed to school through jamb. I gave the bike to someone who often deliver #6,000 weekly for the upkeep of my family. I was in year 2 when i let go of the bike, it was on a higher purchase and the agreement we have had elapsed. I hustled my way through school and graduated. I'm done with service last year but couldn't land a job, probably due to my age. I'd be 29 this year and most graduate trainee often request for age below 28. Although, i had a 2.1. I'm only managing in a pure water factory to make ends meet, keep soul and body together and support my family


I sat my elder brother down and talked to him. He has been hustling like every other person in the family but i don't understand what's happening. He didn't futher his education nor learn a handwork. He's 38 but still live under his parents roof. He has been doing conductor work for many years. The family had talked to him several times to look for something else. It's fine you are hustling as a man for survival but doing conductor for many years without thinking of what else to do is wrong. A family friend of ours who later got to know what he does for a living had advice him also.


The bus he was following, the driver had misunderstanding with the owner and he collected his bus back. My elder brother had been idle for months, doing nothing. He claimed he has gone virtually everywhere in search of bus he could be working with but couldn't get any. This is a family that we all had to bring something no matter how little to survive. I was talking to him as a younger brother. I asked him why didn't he heed to people's advice when they were advising him then to stop the conductor work and look for something to learn, if perhaps he doesn't want to further his education? He doesn't believe in Nigeria education, because he could count graduates without job or those with petty job. My elder brother wear almost rag as clothes. I had to give him some of my little wears I'm managing. He has just one slippers. We don't wear same size of shoe or sandals, we could have been sharing that also. He sold his phone to feed sometime ago and had been without phone. I was initially saving to get my mum a small phone but i had to give him the phone instead.


He was crying when i was talking to him. I understand the situation of things in the country, which i myself is going through. I was just trying to know what other things he could come up with. I am not happy seeing him sitting idle doing nothing. The fact that he's the first son and found himself in this condition at that age breaks my heart daily. My mum had been so worried about his condition. I had to convince her that things will be better. I don't want her to develop high Blood Pressure that could lead to her untimely death.


Please guys was i wrong talking to my elder brother?

Mosquitolap87:
thank you very much. Do you have any reservations about NOUN?

Blankstare:


Regardless of their workload, the conpss salary scheme is the most satanic salary structure you can ever imagine. Tell me how much workload an average NNPC staff does that the ministry staff doesnt... and entry NNPC is about 300k, ministry staff 56k. If this is not government deliberate corruption, what do we call it?

seunmsg:


A lot of government workers are underpaid quite alright but some are worse than the others. A graduate who is employed as an ASP II in the police force will receive about N120k net every month while a graduate recruited into the civil service on CONPSS grade level 8 step 2 will get a net of about N58k monthly before the increment. With this increment, he will still go home with about N85k way below what his equivalent in the police is getting.

kettykin:
What really is the crime of Peter Obi,I still don't understand how Nigerians woke up to criminalize this man

Difrent:


Yes they could have those things because they dont waste billions on petrol subsidy....they instead have effective transport system thats affordable.
The moment we stop petrol subsidy, some of these things will become achievable

Miracood2:


Totally wrong.

A mudu is about 8-9 cups.

ravensckar:
Mr. OP, first of all, I sympathize with you on what you're going through in your marriage. May the Almighty God take absolute control.

Secondly, what you mentioned that your wife is doing to you is typical of most Nigerian women. Withholding sex, not cooking or showing you attention. It's their oldest control mechanism to keep their man in check. It's just that your wife took hers too far. Funny enough, there's not a single man in Nigeria whose wife didn't use these tactics on him, the smart ones always turn the tables and the weak ones always succumb. Kindly spend more time with your dad (if he's still around) or some of your guys who are married let them give you the OT.

My advice for you is simple; find your wife's thumbscrew and use it to counter attack (turn the table). I'll tell you a short story, hopefully, you can learn a thing or two from it. My wife for example, when she started her own 'kolomental' back then. She won't cook, she won't clean the house, she won't give her best during sex. It's always one complain or another. The most painful part of it was the food, every other thing I can bear. I sat her down and spoke to her, nothing changed. I sometimes don't eat at home just to express my displeasure. She didn't bulge, rather, she mocked me and told me that I'll die of hunger.
I reported to her parents, nothing changed.

Then, I spoke to my dad about it and he gave me the OT. I started chatting and receiving calls from one particular number. I began to spend quality time outside my house, she still didn't bulge. I took it to another level by subtly making her friends and family members become aware of my new lifestyle. Fear catch Hanty and she quickly surrendered. It was that moment I found her thumbscrew; my wife is very particular about other people's perception of her marriage. She hates to give others the impression that her marriage is going through something. She's that type of lady who doesn't want her friends, family or even the neighbours to ever think that her husband doesn't love her dearly. That was it, I found her thumbscrew and the dick measuring contest was won by me!

Since then, I now know what drives her, what motivates her and what unsettles her. For example, if I want her to knack very well. I'll stop over at her shop on my way back from work, buy her chop chop and we'll both be eating it outside. Gist with her outside, help her sell her stuff and be doing touch & do. You can be sure that night ehn, she will finish me on the bed. And in the same way, if she offends me and I want to treat her Bleep up, I'll just stop over at her shop with a frown on my face or attitude. Instantly, Hanty will start to dey beg.

In summary, every woman has a thumbscrew. Your job as a man is to figure out your wife's thumbscrew and use it to the fullest. If you do that, you'll change the dynamics. And in seduction, he who has the initiative has the power. You need to take that initiative!

PS- marriage, business, sports, & politics are ARTS. To succeed at it, one must learn the intricacies.
