ValentineMary:
All claim to have visions from the same deity yet they have parallel teachings. They buy private jets at the expense of their members suffering. And yet they are celebrated. For what exactly spreding a jewish myth?

but look around you will see that these great men have touched and added meaning to lives they have touched according to their calling. After all they are saving lives with their calling. You shouldn't have had problems with that

LORDOFAFONJAS:
The sin of this world is too much for him to bear, GOD bless you PAPAL....


CHRIST fell 3 times just to save mankind, PAPAL is doing same....

if the sin of the world can cause Christ's mortal death to spiritual life, man will be no where to be found.

Pope might be falling due to old age and the pressure that was so much for his strength.

The usual way of justifying evil. These people want the whole world sit on a timed bomb.✴✴✴↕

What of the those turning speakers to make the loudest voice and force all people near and far to wake up every morning? Is the action justified and of any benefit to those who don't practice the same religion?

I think they say marriage is a school where candidates obtain certificates before graduation because the graduation will be held in the graves.

What could have caused their divorce after 4 children, and billions of naira from both sides? Really money is not enough to earn lasting peace and make good family.

This is a very big snake. Thank God the man wasn't fall victim

these people might have been considered to be innocent, and probably have gone to the town to buy some items. But the guns they were carrying serve as a bone of contention.

May God help us in this country if boko haram still exists.

From Persecutor to Preacher
Just as Christ transformed Saul from wicked to godly person, God can transform and make the worst criminal His beloved child. Acts 9: 15 - The Lord said unto him (Ananias), Go thy way: for he ( Paul) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. The followings are discussed: Life-transforming Encounter with Christ; Commissioned by Christ, and Preaching and Persecuted for Christ.

Life-Transforming Encounter with Christ: If God could save Saul and use him to fulfil His purpose, He can save those we might have considered impossible to be saved. Saul had continued to deliver the murderous task since execution of Stephen and couldn't be stopped from pursuing, arresting and taking christian in bondages to the presence of religious leaders for persecution (Acts 9:1-2). He was very active in the efforts to persecute Christians and stop the gospel from spreading when the risen Jesus confronted him.

As Saul was going in the company of those assigned with him for persecution of Christians, he saw powerful light and heard a voice from heaven asking for the reason he was persecuting the Church (Acts 9:3-9); immediately he knew it was an encounter with the Lord. Jesus could have smitten and destroyed him but he showed mercy and saved him. The merciful and loving God wants sinners to be saved and useful for His service. Jesus identifies with the sufferings of his followers in the course of spreading the gospel just as he identified with and saved sinners while on earth. The Lord meets and uses people for His service based on their knowledge and understanding of His work.

Commissioned by Christ: The Lord had told Saul where he should go and who to meet for his sight to be restored. Meanwhile, the Lord instructed Ananias to meet and pray for Saul so that his sight could be restored, and to be endued with Holy Spirit for the task ahead (Acts 9:10-16). Ananias was frightened, knowing Saul could arrest and torture him, but Jesus had told him that he had chosen Saul to carry out his mission. Ananias obeyed God's command and went ahead to lay hands on the man that would become one of greatest missionaries in Church history. His obedience made it possible for Saul to receive both physical and spiritual healing (Acts 9:17-19). God used Ananias to restore Saul's sight and help him receive the baptism of Holy Spirit.

Preaching and Persecuted for Christ: Saul demonstrated the sincerity of his decision to serve Christ by preaching boldly in synagogues where enemies of the Early Church had gathered against Christians (Acts 9:20-25). Members of synagogues were surprised and troubled to see Paul's zeal and pursuit of his newfound faith in Christ. Paul justified his teachings that Jesus is the Messiah with Old Testament prophesies. Only Old Testament was available for early Christians to know and hold unto the truth about God's plan to send the Messiah and renew the covenant. Saul's knowledge and understanding of the Old testament helped in his writing and presentation of messages of the New Testament.

The religious leaders made attempts to kill Saul and stop his ministry in Damascus and Jerusalem but he was saved by the believers. Saul couldn't be stopped from preaching the gospel (Acts 9:26-30). He went to places proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah. He preached the gospel in Damascus, Jerusalem and Arabia and then returned to Tarsus (Turkey), his hometown. Saul was dedicated to preaching and sharing the good news anywhere he went following his conversion. Lesson texts: Acts 9:1-31.

Boko haram still existing? It is surprising that the guys kidnapped some soldiers, meaning they are still active while the army's report stressing disarming and dislodging them is misleading.

sinking naira bad news for the nation's economy. People have already experienced enough hardship and if the fall should continue more businesses will collapse and many will still loose jobs. Government should do something meaningful to safe the country.

The idea of mini importation is already fading as most importers have been compelled to stop the Biz.

HAH:


Yes dry port is basically for where there is no close sea port, but my grievance is why non in north east and citing three in three neighboring states of Kano, Kaduna and katsina, all in north west. Why not atleast one in either Bauchi Borno Adamawa, Taraba or Gombe or Yobe afterall four of the state's in the north east are linked by rail.

I think the government should have given reason for neglecting the whole of NE in the dry port project. The zone might be disadvantaged for some reasons not indicated

I think

abomination on increase... the fools are turning God's command upside down. They will definitely harvest shame in the end.

July 29 is so close but no one can say the exact day or month the beginning of the end would be, even neither Jesus nor angels know the exact day of his second coming. Only God knows this, we can just be guessing by considering signs or terrible natural happenings and uncontrollable manmade disasters that would be order of the day.

spartoo:


most of our daily activities are borrowed, even eating with a spoon

LOL!

how will it look like if people are eating foods like rice, liquid pap with fingers?

GhaliNaaba:
I am 100% for President Buhari and I am still very happy we chased that drunk master from otuake out of Aso Rock.
This change is genuine and Nigerian will surely reap the benefit. We need to be patient
I see wailers are yet to recover from shock of defeats suffered by the ineffectual baffoon and they must come to reality that GEJ will never rule Nigeria again.

Stop being sentimental. Both Gej and Pmb have their faults. The present economic situation is so difficult and masses are suffering. Progress has been halted. Though many are smiling in suffering. Instead of saying the truth they preferred being blind followers

NaijaMutant:

if the result of this poll reflects minds of d majority, our politicians must see the challenge as wake-up call. They must sit tight and stop giving excuses.

The sinking naira needs urgent redemption which could be provided by strong economic team who are not likely available.


How far has the country gone about Yuan project which was claimed to reduce demand for dollars, thus weaken it against naira.

Hope the country is not scammed.

MeAboki:


Its either you did not read my post or you not understand the meaning of the word misinformation; otherwise you wouldn't have typed that crap.

so reporting excesses of your brothers is misinformation!

Truth they say is bitter.

Orikinla:

Many Nigerians don't know that iTel smartphones are very affordable and reliable 24.7.

Itel ? Are you sure the product is better than tecno brands?

Seeing is believing, Anambra is serious about agriculture esp for sustainable rice production unlike some States that will promise so much but do little or nothing. I think SW States have greater capacity to produce rice but farmers are not getting the needed support.

MeAboki:


You just hit the nail on the head; certainly the ongoing north and south divide is being compounded by lazy unprofessional media reporting, and more so by the increasing number of unregulated online blogs, owned and populated mostly by equally growing number of hateful youths from the want-away red soiled tribe.

In the case of the latter, a significant amount of the misinformation is done quite deliberately with the intention to stoke up more hatred along the divide, in line with their separatist agenda; while the mainstream media is often guilty of sloppy journalism and lack of due diligence towards cross checking the facts of the stories before release for public consumption.

But the press can't be stopped from airing news and shedding light on wicked things some are doing in hidden, open and isolated places.

You can as well say journalist shouldn't cover the spate of killings and violence in the north, being carried out by some fanatics

Modern facilities have given us the grace to know about happenings around and far from us. We should appreciate reporters for timely coverage and publicity.

sorry for the loss. May Boko haram and its sponsors in and outside the country go down with history. The evil alongside its aim is failing and will definitely fail to eternity.

and saving data.

I don't think it saves data more than opera browser

abnormalities in natural phenomena are commonly seen nowadays.

Human activities in different forms are imparting the environment, and now we are getting unexpected results.

Why for Christ sake will some men mate animals? It's may be difficult to believe but it has happened several times in the country.

mrkayusfit:
Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion. No matter the provocations, it remains the fastest growing religion in the world today. Allahu Akbar

I think birth control, one man one wife, moderate household should be adopted so that children that will add value to the society could be raised instead of those who are nuisance and ready tools for crimes

You will be surprised to hear that about 100 hausa teenagers who attacked and beat up school teacher and his principal in Lagos, and stole N1.5 million from the school said they wanted to die, and that SARS should shoot at them

This is the kind of growth you are boasting?

Some people are killing peace In the name of serving God

They should learn of Christ to know God's purpose for life, what God expects of them and the best way to understand and serve him.

OlanreJohnson:


we yoruba muslims will treat you christian kaffurs of our land the way we treat Ibos- like filth. Even mrkayusfit my muslim brother will agree with me.

The volcano is now giving the signal. SW people beware!

continue in your wicked way.
Your way is the way of evil, your idea is to cause problems and disturb peace throughout the world. The measure of your evil is about to be full so that everything will be down on people like you.

Thank you for given SW clear signals that you are secretly if not openly working with the terrorists to settle them down in their mists for future attacks.

SW future, her destiny is threatened, according to your utterances! The only remedy is to root out evil plant before it develops tap root, spreads its canopy vigorously, bears evil fruits and produces poison to nourish the populace.

OlanreJohnson:
We yoruba muslims will keep voting fulani muslim extremists bigots so that they can teach you christians a lessons. We will vote kwankwaso after Sai buhari.

Is that what you are being taught, and do you mean miscreants like you are already being bred in SW to follow after the fanatics so that you can begin your own problem whenever you are opportune

For your information SW is not culturally and morally suitable for extremists to breed and gain grounds

Repent and forsake evil way and imagination

Buhari hasn't done much to tame the islamists who are unreasonably attacking and killing innocent Nigerians in some parts of the north because they don't subscribe to their violence and religion

freeborn76:

What if the headline had read "Teenagers Attack School"? Why the emphasis on Hausa? How does that change the story's narrative? Nairaland is divisive, period!

it's better to specify so that people can know the trouble makers and where they come from.

“Despite the gunshots, the teenagers refused to go. In fact, while some of them knelt, others prostrated and were begging the police to shoot at them. They were saying, ‘Please shoot us; we want to die’.”

for these trouble makers to have said this means the country is facing serious problem from children parents couldn't given birth to. They want die because they have seen themselves as hopeless people, to whom life is meaningless.

They are typical alimajiris bred to cause problems and disturb peace of any community. No wonder the country has wasted and still wasting billions of naira to fight their excesses in north east and possibly to integrate them into a sane society
