Fulani are probably the problem of Nigeria. They are disturbing peace and causing problems among the people that host them. The worst part of their trouble that it's the host communities that legitimately and illegitimately suffer the consequences.

Fulani would destroy farms, attack and even kill farmers and there wouldn't be arrest to make the criminals face the full wrath of law.

But if farmers should fight back and cattle or Fulani are consumed in the process, what you will see next is the FG backed security searching every to arrest farmers and bring them to court where they would pay heavily for whatever damage might have been done.

Until justice is done in this country and Fulani are kept to where they belong, there would be uneasy peace and disharmony in farming communities.

there may not be correlation between qualification and passion

Israel Demands a King
God is faithful. Even if people are rebellious He shows love and warns concerning destructive consequences of rebellion.1 Samuel 8:7 - And the... Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. The followings are discussed: Israel Rebellious Demand; God's Providence, and Saul Anointed and Proclaimed King.

Israel Rebellious Demand: The people of Israel were being ruled by Judges who doubled as the spiritual and national leaders. God didn't want them to have a king until the appropriate time (Deuteronomy 17:14-15). But the people thought they had arrived to decide for themselves with help of a national leader instead of depending on God. Though they counted on Samuel's old age, misbehaviors of his children who he had appointed as Judges over Israel, the real motive of their demand was to be like other nations being ruled by kings (1 Samuel 8:1-8 ). They believed such leader would build a powerful army and fight for them. Samuel was annoyed by the request that was against the plan of God. He applied wisdom by taken the matter God in prayer. God said the people had rebelled against Him and reminded Samuel of similar rebellious behavior against Moses (Exodus 16:8 ) and told him to give them what they wanted.

Samuel warned the people against unforeseen consequences of installing a leader after rebellious action. He listed various ways the king would impact the land and make life difficult for the people. Such troubles would be against God's promise of blessing and faithfulness (1 Samuel: 9-22). God also told Samuel that the people would eventually know the error of their demand, but it would be too late to correct their mistake. The elders rejected Samuel's warning and were determined to work in line with the ill-advised demand.

God's Providence Demonstrated: God initiated the process of finding and appointing a king for Israel with what happened in Saul's family. Saul's father sent Saul and one servant out to find the missing donkeys. God worked through the circumstance to raise Saul as the king of Israel (1 Samuel 9:15-18). God had revealed the person of Saul to Samuel and allowed the incidence that would bring the two together. After the futile efforts of finding the donkeys Saul decided to go and meet Samuel who could reveal secrets as a prophet. When they met Samuel gave Saul special treatment as a priest and talked about the leadership position he would occupy in Israel. Saul was surprised over the reception and the word spoken concerning him. He reacted with humility, noting that he was from the smallest tribe of Benjamin and the smallest family of the tribe. God can choose and use whoever He wants to fulfill His purpose irrespective of the background of such person.

Saul Anointed and Proclaimed the King: Samuel anointed Saul in preparation for his coronation as the king. He told Saul three things that would happen on his way back home. He would meet two men that would confirm safety of his father's donkeys; he would meet three travelers who would give him loaves of bread (a gift) meant for a priest; and third, he would meet a company of prophets and prophesy with them (1 Samuel 9: 25-27; 10:1-13). Thereafter, Samuel would go and meet him at the territory of Bejamite where he would offer the necessary sacrifices to affirm Saul's kingship. The three signs were fulfilled and people were surprised to see Saul prophesying among the prophets.

Saul's coronation was held at Mizpeh. Samuel cast lots at the event to further reveal and confirm Saul as the king God had choosing for Israel. While Saul was reluctant and hiding among supplies, people hailed him as the king (1Samuel 10:14-27). Some people were however skeptical and show contempt for installation of Saul as the king. Such people couldn't believe it was God that has chosen Saul. There will be serious consequences when people reject God's plan and decide to follow their own ways. It is important to submit to God's will and follow His way which offers the best results. Lesson texts: 1 Samuel 8:1 thru 10:27.

Akkord4gov:
The reason I have prob with Christianity as a religion. Lot of controversies in the bible. One verse will say this,another one will say the opposite

You shouldn't have a the problem if you understand the message. All the messages point to God's plan for redemption and salvation, peaceful living and loving one another with godly love.

Akkord4gov:
From ur illustration above,i am yet to see where jesus said he is the God. Maybe na me no understand English o

Jesus is not the God, but he is the fullness of God - perfect expression and character of God. Three persons manifesting as One - God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. God would send His Spirit to accomplish what He wants anywhere at the same or different times.

Everfrank:
Jesus also never said "I AM GOD" or "WORSHIP ME".
Did he?

As Christians

God is worshipped

Jesus is honored for receiving our worships and presenting us to God as living sacrifice that is acceptable to God

And again it is God that has given Jesus a name above all names... that in the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow and all tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.


reference .... old and new testament outside which nothing else came from God!

9jatatafo:
Is the word TRINITY in he bible?

yeah the Bible has proven the character of God as the Heavenly Father, who sent his only begotten Son to redeem the world and save lives by speaking His word and delivering His message with the power of Holy Spirit

There are many places attested to this truth in the old and new testament.

Yeye politicians that will always find smartest way to distract blind supporters with different issues meant to distract attention while they continue looting the country. Haba!

khalhokage:
Obviously, but I don't know any other Bank or service that deducts money for airtime credit, this is new.

strange development, meaning someone who buys N100 airtime would be charged same amount as transaction fees. Too bad, what then would be the essence of e-recharging when recharch cards are readily available? Anyway buying recharge card through Firstmonie attracts no charges.

by the time all tribes are tired of Fulani, these criminals will hate themselves. They are now telling their hosts to send them to where they belong... desert.

And the action to do so is loading faster!

until the hidden sponsors are fished out and wiped off boko haram will continue to exist in the country.

well said @ op, but the only profession where the well trained or graduates are not jobless is farming.

So don't forget to think about farming alongside whatever you practice. Other systems requiring professional services may collapse, but stomach that has collapsed of hunger needs urgent attention more than something else

OP, you deliberately mocked or have contempt for those taking up God's service as a profession. Don't you know that's is the only service God would remember you for while whatever you might have achieved on the earth would have passed away or come to vanity.

what we hope to hear is their safe return without further delaying rescuing them at various places they have been spotted. Are the boko haram fighters still powerful and standing as threat to the combined USA, Cameroon and Nigerian troops that have been fighting them for years?

the signal is just a word of caution for those who are concerned, now that Fulani herdsmen are taking up the job of boko haram terrorists. These people are determined to explore length and breadth of Nigerian, gain more territories by violent means. But more than 90 of Nigerians are unsuspecting victims, all people may find themselves victims of the ongoing trend of violence by the time Fulani have managed to plant themselves everywhere in large number, and without the strict law to curb their excesses.

what the country needs is industrial growth and development. May the country witness the season massive manufacturing and industrialisation.

Good development. Hope others will follow esp Glo that call to CC is a herculean task

what variety?

Samuel's Ministry Established
God seeks and will establish those who are ready to answer His call and effectively do His service. 1 Samuel 3:20 - And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord. The followings are discussed: Samuel calls Israel to Repentance; Samuel Intercession; God's Intervention, and Restoration and Peace.

Samuel Calls Israel to Repentance: The people of Israel thought the Ark of Covenant would do the miracle and bring the victory without the presence of God. The ark was just a symbolic object, it's the presence of God that worked miracle. During a battle the ark had been taken from Israel and the people had thought they were in trouble without the ark (1 Samuel 7:1-2). Samuel declared their trouble would continue unless they had turned to God, repented of theirs sins and followed His way. He made it known that the land would only be restored when God intervened.

The people obeyed Samuel's call to repentance by taking away foreign gods from their midst and committing themselves solely to God. They purged their hearts of the idols, changed from sinful directions and practices and returned to the Lord (1 Samuel 7:3-6). Believers should stop pursuing lifestyle that corrupts the soul and body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Such lifestyle is abomination before God, though the society may present it as the order of the day or mark of civilization. Samuel led the people to purge their hearts of sins and humbly turn to God in repentance through fasting and prayer. He made them put aside sinful pleasures in favour of serving God to receive His blessings.

Samuel's Intercession; God's Intervention: The Philistines or the enemies mobilised against the Israelites, thinking they would easily defeat them as they had done before. At that time the people put aside the idea of having confidence in a physical object and were encouraged in God (1 Samuel 7:7-9). They turned to Samuel to seek God for help from the above. Then God answered the cry of Samuel. The people followed and obeyed a leader God had given them, and doing that would bring about victory over the battle. Christians must be prepared to face spiritual battles by spiritual means ( Ephesians 6:10-20).

The battle was made easy for the people of God and the enemies were defeated with ease. God responded to Samuel's prayer and the sacrifice by moving through a terrifying thunderstorm which struck and destroyed most of the enemies. The remaining ones were pursued and utterly defeated. From that time to the end Samuel's life the enemies never rose up against the Israelites again. Samuel commemorated the divine intervention by setting up a memorial stone which he named 'Ebenezer' - the stone of help (1Samuel 7:10). Believers today must celebrate and commemorate what God has done in the form of praise, thanksgiving and sharing the testimony. We must find a way to remember and celebrate the mercy and goodness of God.

Restoration and Peace: The defeat of Philistines by the Israelites brought about restoration of the land (1 Samuel 7:15-17). God's intervention and restoration of the people and the land didn't just happen, it followed genuine repentance and revival that took place in the land. Churches and individuals can be restored for effective ministry when people genuinely turn to God and receive spiritual enablement to do His service.

Samuel was not only the Judge of Israel, he was a prophet and national leader. He led the nation in the time of war and peace, and at the difficult times he sought God for assistance. He was a servant of God and man of great devotion. National and spiritual Leaders today are enjoined to learn from Samuel and emulate his roles in seeking the direction and finding peace for his people. They must use their gifts and callings to bring honour to God and prepare hearts of the people for services that can exalt the nation. Lesson texts: 1 Samuel 6:1 through 7:17

God Calls Young Samuel.
The story of Hannah and Samuel helps us to keep trusting God and believe in the power of prayer. God answers effective prayer of believers and can do what seems to be impossible. 1 Samuel 3:10 - And the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, speak; for thy servant heareth. The followings are discussed: Hannah's Prayer Answered; Samuel Dedicated to the Lord, and Called to be a Prophet.

Hannah's Prayer Answered: Hannah was made barren by God, but instead of succumbing to the disappointment she kept praying to God for the blessing of a child. Hannah and her husband, Elkanah would go to Shiloh and pray at the temple every year. During one trip for the prayer Hannah expressed her grief of being barren, prayed earnestly for a male child and vowed to give him back to the Lord if given such a child (1 Samuel 1:10-16). Eli, the high priest thought she was drunk when he observed the emotion and desperation in which she poured her heart to God in prayer.

When She told Eli about her situation, the high priest comforted and assured her that God had granted her petition. Then her burden was relieved and joy filled her heart. Christians should share their burdens with only those who can help solve problems and strengthen the hope in God (1 Samuel 1:17-20). We must be careful when sharing our needs so that those who can complicate issues are not involved. Shortly thereafter Hannah conceived and brought forth a male child. She name him Samuel to acknowledge God's grace toward her. God didn't disappoint her for being perseverant and placing trust in Him. She depended upon God instead of allowing the circumstances to dictate and rob her the blessing.

Samuel Dedicated to the Lord: After Samuel had been weaned Hannah and Elikanah took him to Eli at Shiloh to be presented and dedicated to God as vowed. Samuel was presented as an evidence of answered prayer, God's grace and mercy. God is greater than any situation and when He demands that we should pass through difficult path or do something difficult, He has higher plan for us (Samuel 1:21-28).

Call to be a Prophet: God called Samuel to enter into the ministry at the time of spiritual death in Israel; at the time Eli was stricken with old age and non of his children could succeed him in the spiritual service. That Samuel was fully dedicated to God and made himself available for the Lord's service might be the reason God called him to be His prophet. Yet God called him when he had no personal experience to know His voice. He thought Eli had called him the first and second time, but Eli told him it was God calling and and if He called the third time he should ask God to speak and deliver His message (1 Samuel 3:1-10). God still calls and speaks to those who could listen to His voice and deliver His message. We can reaffirm our commitments to Him through worship, praise and prayer, and by finding quiet time and place to draw close to Him.

Samuel heard directly from the Lord and spoke His word with prophetic authority. His prophetic declarations were known throughout Israel and other places, and the ministry spread to places with great acceptance (1 Samuel 3:19-21). Those who are called and powerfully anointed by the Lord will not be found wanting about their calling. Just as Samuel receive the Word directly and spoke it with authority Christians who care to listen to God's voice will hear from Him and deliver His message concerning individuals and groups inside and outside the Church. Lesson texts: 1 Samuel 1:8-28; 3: 1-21.

Congrats. K'Oluwa se iyawo ni

immediately they are through with boko haram the next crime they should deal with and destroy is the menace of Fulani herdsmen. To ordinary farmers these herdsmen who ravage farms, destroy crops, steal animals and slaughter farmers are worse than boko haram

nawao. anyway the star on the wedding dress means what?

The excesses of the Fulani herdsmen are getting too much for Nigerians to bear. For how long will these criminal herdsmen continue to wreak havoc in their host communities? If the government fails to do the needful on time, very soon everyone will be against Fulani and the herdsmen against everyone. Boko haram was built and now staying as Fulani herdsmen. May God help us

Fayose... Buhari in China seeking business partnership with Nigeria. Fayose is also in China seeking technological and business cooperation between China and Ekiti State.

Both of them Una well done O

alexlee50:
Chibok is a scam.no girls are missing.

Scam? Let's here from the horse's mouth, PMB that the abduction is a scam

Borno State government said three days ago that the girls are hale and hearty where they are but why the security hasn't been able to rescue them?

Their situation and confusion from various quarters are a matter of serious concern.

Practical training involving method demonstration together with practical guide make the practice easier and will result in increased production. Hope the market is guaranteed and those buying will keep on buying, and will not be complaining of certain limitations that could arise from storability, anti nutritional factor or inadequate supply. I will need the handbook and the materials to carry out the production.

focus7:
While SE and SS is living in fool paradise a the expense of the development of their region because of their unreasonable hate for Amaechi the North and the SW has just recorded a point in the development of their region. Buhari should please forget about that Lagos-Calaba rail project and consider another project he can bring to the SW.

WOW! Probably forgetting about oil and gas of the region and look toward lake chad to build the nation from various resources over there

These wicked people killing their hosts like this are likely those who have run from Sambisa forest to settle as ex-boko haram Fulani herdsmen. Catle rearing is just their hobby, killing is their profession.


Buhari should take note of this and call his tribe men to order. Just last week they attack Falae Farm again killing one security guard.
