If not for the personality war between Awolowo and Akintola and the support of Prime Minister Belewa to the latter; If not for the Western region crisis that heated up the system, Chukwuma Nzeogwu and his band of coupist would not have upened the political system.

Aguiyi Ironsi also didn't take step to pacify the Northern region. If only he had put all the coupist to trial with capital punishment meted out to them, Theophilus Danjuma and his boys would not have killed him. And the civil war would have been averted. But Aguiyi was only fixated in consolidating power by coming up with his draconian decree that plunged Nigeria into our present unitary system.

Kobojunkiee:
I was told to have a child to secure my crashing marriage after I married as a virgin’ – Chigul makes shocking revelation

Nigerian media personality, Chioma Omeruah better known as Chigul has opened up about the series of advice she received from people when she was married. Chigul, revealed the advice while reacting to Basketmouth’s estranged wife Elsie Okpocha ‘s post on women, marriage, and kids.

Elsie, a mother of three had taken to her Instagram page to caution people against shaming unmarried women. She noted how ladies and women get shamed for late marriages and late childbirth. Reacting to Elsie’s post, Chigul wrote:

Someone told me, just born one hold am. I was like are we playing cards? Hold am kwa? Hiaaaan! Nigerians are too forward.

Glamsquad notes that Chigul was once married and the union crashed after just one year and she held herself responsible. On Kemi Adetiba’s King Women series, Chigul said:
“We were not perfect, there were good days I won’t lie. It just got to a place where we both didn’t care anymore. I have been made to believe that it was my job to keep that afloat and the fact that it sank, I take on my head. I didn’t understand why no one except my siblings cared to ask how I was doing. I was depressed and I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to kill myself but the sweet, funny girl didn’t want to come out. I felt like I was going through a tough time with my marriage and everyone was saying go back to your husband and no one asked how I was feeling.

I had nowhere to land, it fell apart and I didn’t want it to. When I needed people to be there for me, no one was there. The worse was when I heard that my husband had a child with someone else, a year into our separation.

The worse thing for me right now is not being in a relationship but I wanted to give my mother grandchildren. My success with my career is great, it’s wonderful. I thank God for it every day but I want other things. I did some things wrong for instance I sold the wedding rings and I told him I did. In my mind, my rings were a symbol of something that didn’t exist. It was a circle I was wearing on my finger while I had an absentee husband. It was one of the worst things I ever had to go through but one of the best things because it taught me so much.

The ‘Road to Yesterday’ actress said she was a virgin when she got married at 33 and expressed joy at not having any child from the marriage.

Would I have changed anything about it? No, because it happened for a reason. I’m happy it happened at one year with no children, no attachments. I married at 33, I married a virgin. That was my first ever anything and it was supposed to be special and last.

Chigul further told of how she was a serial failure at school. She noted that it was extremely tough on her because of the status of her father as a former military governor of Anambra state.

In academics, I wasn’t necessarily the brightest; I was kinda dull when it came to schoolwork. So form 4 came and we did final exams and I failed so I had to repeat a class. When I got to Lagos, I told my dad that I was going to repeat Form 4. The next thing I knew, I was in Airforce secondary school in Lagos he said there was no way I was going to go back to Jos and embarrass him how can Samson Emeka Omeruah’s daughter be repeating a class?

I was never into school. I took the Cambridge exam, JAMB, WAEC and I didn’t pass too well. I was failing woefully. When I took TOEFL and SAT, I did okay and I got into Delaware University.

SUNDAY SERMON: THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHING


I came across this piece on a Whatsapp page and it so represented my views on tithing that I could have written it myself. Please enjoy the read!

The Trial of Pastor Jones (Author unknown)

Judge: Mr. Jones you have been charged with multiple counts of extortion. Your crime spree covers 20 years and thousands of victims. You have defrauded people out of their money with fear and manipulation, telling them they had to tithe 10% of their income as per the LAW to your Regd. organization (called Church) and that God would bless them if they did. You also told them that if they didn't tithe God would curse them.

How do you plead?

Mr. Jones: I plead not guilty your Honor, I have done nothing wrong. I have only preached what the Bible says. In the Bible Abraham tithed to Melchizedek and God blessed him for his faithful giving. The Bible even says he was rich in silver and gold.

Judge: Is it not true, Mr. Jones, that in Genesis Chapter 13 verse 2 the Bible says Abraham was rich with livestock, silver and gold?

Mr. Jones: Yes, you are exactly right, that's what I just told you.

Judge: Ok, we read about Abraham being a rich man in chapter 13 but it is not until Genesis chapter 14 that we read about Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek. So Abraham was already a rich man before he tithed to Melchizedek, wasn't he?

Mr. Jones: Yes, I suppose you are right.

Judge: So his riches were not the result of his tithe to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: No.

Judge: Mr. Jones, you also say God blessed him for his faithful giving. How many times is it recorded that Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: Well, just once.

Judge: So the Bible never said that he gave week after week?

Mr. Jones: No it does not.

Judge: Where did Abraham get the things that he gave to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: Well the Bible says it was from the plunders of war?

Judge: So you are telling me that he gave from the plunders of war?

Mr. Jones: Yes that's what the Bible says.

Judge: So he basically took things that were not really his in the first place and gave them as the tithe?

Mr. Jones: That is what the scripture seems to indicate.

Judge: Is it recorded that he ever took anything from his own possessions and tithed them to Melchizedek or anyone else?

Mr. Jones: I guess not

Judge: You guess not, you are a teacher and you are only guessing, is it or is it not written that he ever gave any of his own possessions as a tithe to anyone?

Mr. Jones: No it is not written anywhere that I have seen.

Judge: Is it recorded as to what exactly Abraham did give Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: I believe it says plunder?

Judge: So plunder could be any number of things?

Mr. Jones: Yes, I suppose

Judge: It could have been food, cattle, sheep, the people's possessions or any number of things. It does not say it was all money correct?

Mr. Jones: Yes you are correct, it does not say just money

Judge: As a matter of fact money is never mentioned in that account at all is that correct Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: Yes your Honor, money is never mentioned just goods and food and people.

Judge: So there is no way you can say with any certainty that Abraham in fact gave Melchizedek any money at all?

Mr. Jones: That is right.

Judge: I only have one last question for you
Mr. Jones, did God command Abraham to give this plunder tithe to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: No, it appears that he did this voluntarily.

Judge: So are you trying to tell me that because of this voluntary, one time gift by Abraham, that may not have even consisted of money, all Christians everywhere are obligated to bring 10% of their weekly paycheck to a local Regd.Organization-church?
Considering all the evidence I would say you are beyond any shadow of a doubt guilty of deliberately trying to make the scriptures says things they have not said for financial gain.

Mr. Jones: Ok your Honor, I can see how foolish I was to try and use the story of Melchizedeck to try and get the people to tithe money. But there are many other verses that will support my belief on tithing. Jacob said he would give God 10% of everything. I think we should follow his example.

Judge: Let's see what Jacob said. Please read the verse you are talking about for me Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones: In Genesis chapter 28 starting at verse 20 it says. Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God, then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."

Judge: You said we should follow Jacobs example, is that right Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: Yes that is right, he vowed to give a tenth and we should too.

Judge: Let me point out one thing for you Mr. Jones, Jacob said he would Give God a tenth, ONLY if He blessed him first. So as you said previously, we should follow Jacob's example and tell God that we will only give him a tenth if he blesses us first. Is that right?

Mr. Jones: That is not what I meant.

Judge: What did you mean then?

Mr. Jones: That we should give God a tenth also.

Judge: There you go again, trying to make the scripture say what you want it to say for your benefit. I would also like you to tell me the scriptures that say that Jacob kept his vow with God. I would also like to know where he gave the tenth to because there was no temple or levites to give it to at that time.

Mr. Jones: I can not think of any scriptures that say where or if he ever tithed after his vow.

Judge: It seems fairly obvious to me that Jacob made a voluntary and conditional vow to God. This in no way can be used as a reason to demand others to bring their income to you or any other place.

Mr. Jones: I do have a few more scriptures that I believe will show that we are supposed to tithe.

Judge: You have not said anything yet to convince me one little bit that people are obligated to tithe money to the local organizational institutions -churches and that you were justified in what you were doing. You have taken scripture and misapplied it to your beliefs and for your gain. But in order to be fair to you I will allow you to present more evidence.

Mr. Jones: In the book of Malachi chapter 3 starting at verse 8 it says, will a man rob God? yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, In what have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. So you see your Honor, we are commanded to bring the tithes into the storehouse or God will curse us.

Judge: Answer me this Mr Jones, Who was God Speaking to here?

Mr Jones: To the People of Israel

Judge: Can you please read Malachi 2: 1 Please Mr Jones

Mr Jones: Now This command is for you O PRIEST !!

Judge: Did God stop talking to the Priest in Chap. 3, Mr Jones?

Mr Jones: No your Honor!

Judge: Answer me this Mr. Jones, were you aware that God never required anyone to tithe money?

Mr. Jones: No I didn't know that.

Judge: The tithe spoken of here was always edible products never money.

Mr. Jones: Well your Honor that is because they didn't have money at the time so God had them tithe food instead.

Judge: Not true, money is first mentioned in Genesis and Malachi was written hundreds of years later. God had them bring food in so that the levites, the fatherless and widows may eat and be satisfied. The tithe was used mainly to take care of people. Also notice it says in the verse you quoted, that there may be food in my house. The food was the tithe. How do you completely overlook the word food in those verses?

Mr. Jones: I don't know

Judge: I also want you to know that these verses speak to nation under the Old Testament law. As you may or may not know Jesus fulfilled the law, it is no longer binding. Once again you have tried to completely take a scripture out of context and apply it to others for your benefit. Can you give me a single scripture where God changed the tithe from food to money?

Mr. Jones: I do not know of any.

Judge: So if God never changed it from food to money who did?

Mr. Jones: Man must have.

Judge: So far all you have done Mr. Jones, is take Old Testament scriptures out of context and try to apply it to believers under the New Covenant. Is this all the proof you have?

Mr. Jones: I do have a New Testament scripture that will show that Jesus told us to tithe.

Judge: Ok let me hear it.

Mr. Jones: Jesus said in Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. See Jesus said we should be tithing.

Judge: Let me ask you a question, who was Jesus talking to?

Mr. Jones: The scripture says the Scribes and Pharisees.

Judge: Are you a scribe or Pharisee?

Mr. Jones: Of course not.

Judge: Jesus also said in that passage, you have left undone the weightier matters of the law. Are we under the law Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: No.

Judge: Why not?

Mr. Jones: Because Jesus fulfilled it.

Judge: When did Jesus fulfill the law?

Mr. Jones: When He was crucified.

Judge: So the law was still in effect until Jesus death?

Mr. Jones: That is correct.

Judge: I think you know where I am going with this don't you?

Mr. Jones: Yes your Honor. Since Jesus had not yet been crucified and the law was still binding the Pharisees were required to tithe because it was part of the law. Once the law ended, tithing ended also.

Judge: I want you to take a look at that verse again. Also tell me, what were they tithing?

Mr. Jones: The scripture says it was mint, dill and cumin.

Judge: Is money mentioned?

Mr. Jones: No it was not.

Judge: Once again it was edible products that they were tithing, not money. Do you have anything else you would like to say?

Mr. Jones: If people only tithed edible products like the scripture says, then how would the church survive? We have our mortgage payment, utility bills, staff salary and a host of other things that we have to pay each week. We depend on the money from the people.

Judge: By "church" you mean your organization isn't it Mr Jones ?
-The need does not justify the means. In other words, just because you have all these debts does not give you the right to twist and manipulate scripture and cause people to give under fear of being cursed by God to meet your needs. Does It Mr Jones?
In closing, let me recap a few things for you Mr. Jones.
-The tithe was never money;
-The tithe was an Old Testament law, which is no longer binding. When it was binding the tithe was used to take care of people, not buildings.
- We are under a new covenant now.
Paul instructs the Corinthian believers how they are to give. He says in second Corinthians chapter 9 verse 7, Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. So each believer is supposed to give as he or she has determined in his or her heart.
If they determine to Give 10% well and good, If they keep aside some every week to meet this more better.If you are trying to make people give under the threat of being cursed or any other reason even blessing, you are wrong. Someone can not give cheerfully if they are being forced to give. If 'your church can not survive on freewill offerings maybe God is not part of your church at all.
Mr Jones, do you intentionally put your people under a Curse or a Bondage?

Mr Jones: Of Course not !!

Judge: Can you Read in context Gal 3:10-11: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them ....
AND
Gal 5:1-4 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage....

Mr. Jones: I never realized all these things, I have always been taught that we had to tithe money to the local church and that is what I have always taught. I can see now that I was completely wrong. I did not study the scripture for myself, I only took mans word for it.
Yes ' am guilty. I will not teach this error anymore.
Sentencing....... All Arise .....

Good evening, Nairalanders.
So I'm planning on taken up this course, Botany, I've always from my childhood days till today being a lover of plants and nature. I know the course ain't profitable but I'm literally passionate about plants.
But many have discouraged me about taking up the course, but if I'm to go to the University, I must do a course I love but after much bashing of Botany. I decided to pick out 3 courses that I must choose from. What I have in mind is BOTANY, HORTICULTURE and AGRICULTURE.
Which should I go for?

THE EXTRAORDINARY GOVERNOR – DAVE UMAHI As fragile as an incubated baby Your survival muddled in a cloak Of stern hospitality An obnoxious parenting, gyratory Around the whispers of demagogic delusion Then, a plethora of gybe to a mottled future Yet in that stark oblivion They nurtured you to perfection
Like a tender lily upon the hills and valleys With obstreperous pebbles in the wind They were the inevitable Achilles heel in the offing And like the gibberellins – the inhibitors Against your growth in surreptitious mien Yet you greened not whithered
As unperturbed as a statuesque Enduring the excruciating lam from the opposition But like an epitome of spry intuition You skidded while they were languishing As the indisputable power of fate Plunged you to the reign in the echelon
You were accompanied by a providential leverage Professed by the peripatetic of the people Like a plenipotentiary in plenitude of pleasantries The toddlers, the teens cum the adults Enough to convert the most skeptical That your choice transcended man’s façade of intellectualism But the singular sanctimonious conduit For Ebonyi’s divine restoration
Your perspicacity flourished amidst All malevolence orchestrated to sully your reputation Such abhorrent abracadabra hardly writhed The profundity of your perspicuity Of the tormentors of Ebonyi people
Thank heavens you weren’t a proselyte You unfurled the scroll of their mystified worship To sponge the unpardonable malfeasances of the demi gods And punctiliously enshrine into it The sanctity of the Almighty God So this prodigy gripped the mandate tenaciously With the grit devoid of any pusillanimous trait You started without any probationary aberration And the ubiquity of your whooping transformational strides Has left even the dummies thunderstruck
Like an irrepressible advocacy for change As regenerative regimental onslaught The surroundings of Abakaliki bloomed audaciously Yet you vowed you’d not be an ombudsman You retorted: ‘let the clenchy fangs of posterity Grind those in schandenfreude’
Conscientiously, you pummeled the preposterous Dereliction of the infrastructures A consequence of the desuetude of public fund While the fulfilled people are immersed In multiferous felicitations as you trod On the teeniest despicable despondency That begrudged their greatness

As a canopy of elegant fatherhood The planetarium in which no roguishness thrives For their labyrinthine connotation over governance And the unsuspecting people are sold dummy While the one – upmanship soars But you’ve belligerently beleaguered this bad omen As you repudiated sloppiness Until Ebonyi people regain to the fullest their lost freedom
Oh! The souls which sojourned in dungeon And amassed the filthiness of its death Can perspire oncemore in the refreshing Wind of your ruthless sincerity Freedom is sweet! Freedom is sweet! As you lambaste the lameness Lamentably their ploy to perpetually slowpoke The people’s psyche
Governor Dave, you’ll forever be the meritorious souvenir As you salvage the people from the interminable Peremptory abasement of their respectable dignity And together we abnegate them that swore To exterminate the people’s expostulate For their murderous despotism
The deplorable roads recuperation seemingly conspicuous An indubitable evidence of your propitious and prophylactic touch For the healing of the people’s destroyed ego And the insanity in the transport system You’ve painstakingly curbed like sedatives
With inestimable vigour, you cultivate the soil to the farmers’ delight Ravishing the eaters’ table with bounteous edibles And the intransigent starvation crucifying the people’s bond Would be apprehended by your utterly Resourceful doggedness to ouster The deprivation like a depository upon the people
This governor is simply unquantifiable A panache for the incurable decay on the health system Raising with audacity porch hospitals Even for the people with quack health centres Mesmerizing the despots that preached it’s unattainable
With humane and generosity, you also add the salt To the schools – from primary to tertiary The people once mused, tagged artless and unlearned Becoming the cynosures of the east And no more, you bravely vowed To condone any derogatory postulations of your beloved Ebonyians!
What more? Governor extraordinaire! The east is more enchanted The nation is applauding And the world stands still To your performances yet unmatched!
BY UNO UMEZ
Please, share until it gets to Governor David Umahi

Good to hear this
