Ha,ha,ha. This country is rooted in the dog house. Now they have the guts to call a press conference to tell the world they want to hang whistle-blowers.What do we call this one. What possible state secret can the Ministry of Aviation that in sane climes is almost entirely privatised. Should aviation even have a ministry. How many airports are there, how many airlines, how many aircraft. What secret warrants this rubbish. There is no more Ministry of Communications, the NCC alone superintends over companies who collectively generate billions (dollarised) in turnover and handles the calls and messages 'the secrets' of government, security agencies, politicians, the high and mighty, militants, terrorists, bandits, men and women-nappers, et al absolutely flawlessly. What secrets. |
BigBen10: I thought oga jona just commissioned a new plant here. |
BigBen10: I thought oga jona just commissioned a new plant here.Perhaps something like that. When these massive infrastructural projects commence or are nearing completion there is almost always disruption. I am almost certain work is still going on the transmission and distribution network right now to evacuate power from that station that will have affected that town. When people hear commissioning people assume its like opening a gift wrapped CD and slotting in for play. Technically T&C (Testing & Commissioning) can be yet a few steps to perfection and system problems can still arise. A power plant is more than a generator. |
This is laughable. Even within the South East Enugu and Ebonyi are regarded as peaceful. The kind of resources in states such as Anambra and Abia that attract prying eyes and itchy fingers just isn't in those two states. And saying Ogun state is best ranked flies in the face of numerous reports of bank banditry even reported on this forum earlier this year and with its notorious border crossings, what can I say. |
dumodust: everyday stella this stella that... My ears are buzzing and despite the fact i hate corruption, this is obviously getting childish and amateurish. How much is a tundra? And it is a truck not a luxury car. This woman has enough personal money to buy these cars so something is amiss. Suddenly dino melaye and all the other rot axed or sacked from the govt are authorities on corruption...Well you can see what sleeping in a swamp can cause. First you think that blood sucking bugs are bad enough. Then the night comes and the alligators are on patrol. Suddenly bug bites seem a lovely, lusty feeling. Just get out of the damn swamp. |

jahbiz: EFCC has been rendered powerless long ago. It's like a giant lion without teeth and claws.More like Ernst Stavro Blofeld's white pet cat. Fashion statement, period. |
prodam: The same EFCC we have lost confidence in?..This is the absolute truth. GEJ should be furious at this matter. It makes governance all the harder for him in a nation where they often don't walk the talk. At the moment he should view her as excess baggage no matter the lofty programs she's outlined. But I guess this won't happen since it will invariably open a huge worm can that could consume many more MDA'S and ultimately undermine the entire government so in government circles right now the watch-word will be solidarity and....of course the universal Nigerian Corruption circuit breaker...ethnic jingoism. |
Typically Nigerian. Full of benefits. Where or what are the obligations. Nothing demanded is nothing served. |
This is tuition nau. That's what we have been advocating for ages. Good college education is expensive and your government is broke so pay up if you can. |
Took out two bikes (okada) simultaneously. Great fun. |
elari: funny enough, i was in the bar and the music that was playing was p square's personally.Hmm. Why not Eedris. K. '...mess with my money, I swear am gonna woz ya'... |
chukwudi44: Gulag has just told you fools opening up 200 threads will never make her go so you idiats should better jump into the lagoon.Correction abeg. Na Gulak talk am. Gulag na de place wey dem suppose go. |
If I am unemployed and walking the streets which tithe am I expected to pay. If a good samaritan gives me a buck I can give it all to God out of thanks or love but when I push a wheelbarrow or wash someone's clothes and am paid then I am obliged to tithe. Some have erred badly and ruined their finances, cheated their partners, companies and even government by spending monies they are neither authorized to nor demanded from. |
wizflower: When a student is been giving the sum of 5000 as his or her pocket money, he should pay d tithe of 500....student should pay tithe cos even d new born babys pay tithe 4 dose dat undastand d real meaning of payn tithe.One tenth of wot so ever u hvTithe is on what you EARN from labour. It is from the FIELD into God's storehouse. Except if pocketmoney is earned. Of course you can give out of your pocket money to God just as you give to your girlfriend out of 'LOVE'. but this is a free-will offering. It carries no compulsion whatsoever. If you are given money to buy books or pay tution as a student please pay your dues. Only in exceptional, exemplary, life and destiny changing cases will God decide to total you to stake your future to provide pastor's salary. It doesn't happen everyday. Be informed. And new born babies paying tithes. Please what scripture is that from. Another vain attempt at pleasing God when you simply cannot outside the Word. |
No my dear lad. Tithes are first fruits of the field - the works of your hands meaning earned income as acknowleging the blessings of God. If your friend works, its an obligation. Tithes are not offerings, they are given more out of faith. Offerings on the other hand are given more out of love. You cannot easily escape this because you cannot claim to (God) love without giving. Your friend's case is a worry. He shouldn't be upset he cannot show this love towards God. God will never press anyone beyond his means. Any duress comes from man and the response to this is simply idolatry. |
The same reason you will change your soccer club: Heading for relegation due to defeat after defeat usually as a result of an incompetent gaffer or should I say shepherd. |
The same question can be asked. Is God interested in your world cups and premierleague, in your Nigeria's Got Talent, Hollywood, parties, weddings, funerals, etc. The answer is simple. NO. He is interested in you not your professions or your activities including your offensive or defensive killings. Where the line becomes blurred is that does He authorize, participate, enable, etc. The answer is yes. God is more than capable of killing. The fact that I buy a toy for my baby and play with him with it does not make me interested in play or toy. My interest is baby welfare, safety, happiness and growth. God is not interested in killing. He does not rejoice in the destruction of His creation but for the above reasons sometimes He plays with toys. |
Killing in the kingdom of God is forbidden. It is a sin. Thou shall not kill. But who says the earth is the kingdom of God. It is not because God is not in charge here. Here on earth you have a mish-mash of His children and the children of perdition so killing must go on till the end when everyone will be dead. God has sworn not to make anyone do anything against his will so if we like killing He will not stop us. He will only impress on us to change. But in His kingdom killing is prohibited. |
millenni: We must worship God in spirit nd in truth, as d letter killeth but d spirit giveth understanding. Cain was d vicarious seed of d devil, so he lacked d revelation needed to offer a pleasing sacrifice to God.And where did you get that. What scripture passage says so. This is the kind of speculation that causes many to err. The devil has no seed. Satan is the fallen arch angle. Angels are spirit beings that cannot bear seed. And at the time of Cain the distance between God and man was still close, communion was still almost face to face. There was no need for revelations. Read the discourse. Even faithless and later sinful Cain still spoke with God one on one. You don't need a revelation of what you are seeing face to face. |
The bible never said that God rejected his sacrifice. What KJV says is: 'he had not respect'. Which to me is in between outright rejection and an honourable acceptance. Cain's sacrifice scored a mere pass. The reasons are clear as indicated in Hebrews 11:4 and I think this broadly answers your other questions. All our interaction with God is on the platform of faith. Real Christianity is Faith not a religion. It is faith that expresses our righteousness. Without faith we cannot please God and without pleasing Him we cannot receive from Him. So the short answer is: Cain didn't have the faith to make his sacrifice remarkable. Unfortunately many sacrifice all sorts of things thinking this pleases God but have no desire whatsoever to believe Him. |
ayodeji1975: What is happening to Manchester United this season? |
And we will declare war on the Ministry if a single hair on his head is touched. Surely then they will all need those vehicles. Reprobate people. |
chemvic: Let him that have ears hear....! Edo state is saying enough is enough...! I await the day corruption will have the same penalty....!Good idea. So we can reduce our population by 70% and the oil money can flow better and ASUU have less students to battle with and hopefully the end of strikes. I can design gas chambers for this 'herculean task'. |
chukwudi44: Where u stay in lagos did it rain yesterday? I say this because ojota no too far from the airport did not experience rain yesterday morningDon't mind these ignorant folks. Maybe its a new indoor fountain. Or...errr..emmm...leaking toilet. Please passengers are advised not to look up and avoid tasting this 'rain'. We can't be held liable. |
These are not good times for the hitherto vaunted Ministry of Aviation with the crash, cars and now carnage. |
Those Berger waterpits have a capacity and when this is exceeded the area is done, period. |
Are you a professional wrestler or footballer because I donot understand this concept of retirement. Retirement from what, from who, from where. Is the person terminally ill or what. This country lacks everything. Nothing of any value lies in abundance and here you have people retiring. I just don't get it. Mister there is no investment better than that you have spent your life building. Get back to work and invest in it till your time is up. Real people don't quit. |
dannie04: scrolled down the thread and needle and am yet find the blast. @OP you are so full of deceit. Writing shit just to make fpNyet. The OP is spot on this one. Another bait for fish brains to chew and devour. Like most things in Nigeria, falling standards everywhere, a mad rush to the bottom. |
yunglykmine: Make una no vex oo... Abeg, wetin be Joystick??That device a pilot holds to fly an Airbus A380 super-jumbo or an F-15 Fighting Falcon. |
smartchoice: you're demented...what was the quoted price of crude oil that was used to draft the 2013 budget?And I hope Tinubu won't be like the hunter that forgot where he laid his traps if his party gets a shot at office and raises this national question. Be careful what you sow Mr. Tinubu but it is good opposition to raise pertinent questions from time to time. |
Sloan: Most Nigerians are getting more disillusioned and stupid not to connect the dots. The robber would not be trying to snatch your life and money if he had enough food to eat, jobs and a decent life! Notice this happened in Abia - iboland! OP, you are lucky your support for the retardeen did not cost you not only your N 2,500 but your life itself. Meanwhile the retardeen is flying 10 jets at N 9 B per annum and ibos are the ones shouting fresh air! The retardeen walks around with all the army, airforce, navy and police, so he will never have to worry about a petty robber that could have killed you. I am losing any sympathy for Nigerians because they deserve every suffering and crappy life they get, just looking at the comments of people on this website.Once again, yet another misfire. Another cover for irresponsibility. Buck passing. It is not my fault. The government made me rob. Bad government makes me kidnap, vandalise pipelines, sell my vote, bad government made me steal billions from pension funds, vice-president says bad government made me ask for a 3 billion naira official house. The question is. Are these personal decisions or not. How much is a hoe and how much is a .22 calibre. When will people just accept that no matter how poor, how uneducated a person is, he has the capacity to do right. Will he then praise GEJ or government when he does. |
