Honestly I don't think you're a Nigerian or resident in the country, do you know how many innocent ppl have been killed for "standing their ground"? SARS that can kill based on trump up charges. That's y I don't show sympathy when any of them is killed in the line of duty.

The only good part is, these boiz aren’t meant to have what they had. So taking it from them is good. How can you own a phone worth 400k. That’s almost 6 months salary of a law enforcement agent. That’s a crime on its own ...Even a judge will frown at it if you take the matter to them

Omo I pity your sense of reasoning and logic, because they're young guys they shouldn't be using a Fone worth 400k? What if it was a gift? Or maybe they played bet9ja and hit the jackpot? It's because of reasoning like this that makes the police to go away with impunity and breeds timidity among our people.

When you go marry? Walahi I fit shoot person because of that question, as if dem put money for my hand wey I go use do the wedding

If it comes to IT I'd give it to India, they have the best web developers and programmers. Come to think of it, NIIT and most leading IT training institutions in Nigeria are mostly run by Indians, In fact I'd advise to look up one very good IT institute in India called Koenig, Their graduands have a very good employment rate on a global level. The only downside of studying in India is that, the average Indian is racist towards black people who they look down on with disdain. They associate most black males as drug peddlers and our ladies as prostitutes. But in terms of cost, India a relatively cheap. I'd advise you to go to China, because of employment opportunities and more chances for career growth.

Those entitled lecturers. That was how my course adviser in UNN those days, Dr Phil Eze of Geography Dept walked me out of his office, simply because I didn't add the prefix "Dr" to his name while filling my course registration form. How was I to know he was a Dr? (since I was a fresher at that time)

Of all the problems bedeviling the state, Armed banditry, lead poisoning, Herdsmen wahala, high poverty and out of school kids with a host of other issues. This matter takes centre stage! Chai! Does it mean Allah can't take action? People would have to investigate for the "Almighty"?

Geography, Back in BSU? Hell No! Would have used the money I paid as fees to pursue an IT certification program in NIIT or any posh IT institute.

I wonder wetin this MILF wan sing sef?

Nice One Linus. He came out with a First class in Psychology from the Nigerian Defence Academy. 66RC he was commissioned as a 2Lt last August in Sandhurst. Though his course mates will be passing out later this month.

Imam I'm waiting for you also.

Airlift all you said? Do you know how much Air peace proprietor - Onyeama budgeted for the trip? #280M if Johnson Suleiman sponsors the entire 900, won't his ministry close shop? At least commend him for the 20 tickets first.

Tadwears2050:
It is necessary to understand that the judgement today will be one sided... Base, on the fact that those petition against are in power... However, the truth is not far fetch that Buhari has been seen to be man of integrity... So, I can conclude that he will win the Tribunal....

I will advise PDP should start strategizing using Ansoff model with Portel diamond model to win 2023 election...

Think deeply ....

Please kindly look up the meaning of "Integrity" afterwards tell me if Buhari fits the bill.

I wonder why people are losing sleep over this judgement issue? The judgement has already gone to Buhari right from inception, they're just putting up a front, after all you no hear the name of the. Tribunal Chairman, MOHAMMED GARBA. Why do you think they did everything possible to remove Walter Onnoghen?

So all the people in IDP camps littered nation wide never do, na to "import more" simply because other nations are doing it na I'm be government priority? #SMH

martineverest:
that's not how diplomacy works... remember when he finer MTN are 2015 xenophobic attack??....this visit is a step to end xenophobia and compensation of Nigerians that lost their businesses

Oga, Stop confusing yourself, MTN was not fined because of xenophobic attacks in 2015, it was fined because of continual sale of unregistered sims which had it's security implications. Besides Abba Kyari after collecting bribe from the company, assisted in lowering the fine.

Here comes the question:

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ALCOHOLIC CONSUMPTION?

Many religious people believe that God has forbidden any use of alcoholic beverages — that any use of alcohol is wrong and sinful. They claim that the Bible supports this prohibition, just like you claim too. Wine/alcoholic drinks are frequently mentioned in the Bible. If something sinful or beneficial exists about these beverages, then the Bible will show it. What does the Bible really say about wine and alcohol?

WINE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
One of the first mentions of wine in Scripture is by Melchizedek, priest of the Most High God at Salem (Jerusalem) during the time of Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham. Melchizedek “brought forth bread and wine” for Abram and his companions (Genesis 14:18). Since the scriptures was born out of the Jewish context, it is better we consider the "sitz im leben" (life setting or cultural context) of the words of the scriptures in relation to the Jewish culture in order to aid better understanding. In this vein, language comes into play. From the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), the Hebrew word for wine in Genesis 14:18 is "yayin". This word is used over 130 times in the Hebrew Bible to mean "FERMENTED WINE", not grape juice as you may think. This same beverage (yayin or alcoholic wine), when used excessively, causes drunkenness. Genesis 9:21 says that Noah drank too much yayin and became drunk. Lot also became drunk on this beverage (Genesis 19:30-36), and so did Nabal (1 Samuel 25:36).

Nevertheless, God told his people to enjoy yayin at the yearly festivals (Deuteronomy 14:26). In addition to using wine as a beverage, God also commanded the Levitical priests to include in the sacrifices a portion of wine (yayin) as a drink offering (Exodus 29:40). These scriptural passages make it clear that there can be a right and a wrong use of wine.
Naturally fermented wine is between 10 percent and 14 percent alcohol. Higher alcoholic wines are fortified wines. On special occasions, God even allowed use of what is translated as “strong drink.” This term comes from a different Hebrew word — "shekar" — which is used 22 times in the Old Testament, and refers to alcoholic drinks made from dates and other fruit. The Bible says that God gave wine to make men glad (Psalm 104:15). Why have some people turned this blessing of God into a curse? The answer is that many people do not follow God’s instructions. A blessing of wine was prophesied as a heritage to the chosen people in Genesis 27:28: “May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness — an abundance of grain and new wine (tirosh).” The Hebrew word tirosh, meaning “new wine”. People sometimes conclude that this word means grape juice, or fresh-pressed juice of the vine. However, Hosea 4:11 states: “Old wine (yayin) and new wine (tirosh) take away their understanding." Grape-juice do not possess this effect. Put differently, Tirosh is an intoxicating wine if used in excess.

Having journeyed through the Old Testament, let us take a look at the new Testament.

WINE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
While the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the New Testament on the other hand was entirely written in Greek. Hence, we shall focus our mind on the Greek language in which the New testament was written. John the Baptist did not drink wine (oinos in the Greek) or any other form of alcohol because it was prophesied that he wouldn’t (Luke 1:15). However, Jesus Christ drank oinos (wine) (cf. Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:34). Jesus did not preach against the use of wine; instead he drank like most other Jews of his day. He drank wine in moderation. In ancient times it was normally diluted with water for drinking, and was one of the principal beverages at that time — as it is today.

According to the Greek Bible, Jesus’ first miracle was to change water into wine (oinos) NOT grape juice. Some people who preach total abstinence claim that this miracle was to turn water into grape juice. LOL… This is because, they tend to interpret the Scriptures based on their "myopic understanding". Can you imagine a Jewish wedding banquet where everyone drank only grape juice?! (which is very difficult to imagine). The ancients did not have refrigeration or any other method of preventing grape juice from fermenting. On this occasion, Christ turned six jars of 20 or 30 gallons each into wine (oinos). This was no small miracle. This wine was of the finest quality — “You have saved the best wine till now” (John 2:10). At wedding feasts, the hosts normally started with the best wine, and they would bring out lesser-quality wines later.
Jesus gave a parable involving the fermenting process of oinos (alcoholic wine) in Matthew 9:17. At that time, instead of having metal or glass bottles to enclose wine, the skins of animals were used. The fermentation of the wine could burst an old skin, but it would not break a new stretchable skin. Another proof that oinos is fermented wine is the fact that the apostle Paul said, “Do not get drunk on wine (oinos)” (Ephesians 5:18). Paul did not mean to avoid getting drunk on grape juice! Paul instructed Timothy, “Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine (oinos) because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses” (1 Timothy 5:23). He said to use only a little wine, not a whole lot. The purpose of this wine was Timothy’s frequent stomach ailments; small amounts of wine can help some stomach problems.

Some of the Corinthian Christians were getting drunk at the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:21). They were using fermented wine, following the example that Christ had set for them. Paul did not tell them that they were using the wrong kind of wine. He simply told them to eat and drink at home, and to participate in the Lord’s Supper in a respectful way. In Romans 14:21, Paul says that it is good not to drink wine or eat meat if it offends a weak brother. He is referring to fermented wine; grape juice wouldn’t offend anyone. The implication is that there’s nothing wrong with the wine in itself, except when it is abused.

However, Scripture does not necessarily forbid a Christian from drinking beer, wine, or any other drink containing alcohol, like the beer Pope Benedict XVI (emeritus) drank on his 90th birthday.
Alcohol, consumed in moderation, is neither harmful nor addictive. In fact, some doctors advocate drinking small amounts of red wine for its health benefits, especially for the heart. Consumption of alcohol in moderation is a matter of CHRISTIAN FREEDOM.
If you're weak, then do not consider drinking it. Drunkenness and addiction are sinful; and this is exactly what the Bible condemns.

Above all, I am not proposing that alcohol must be consumed by all; if you maintain that intake of alcohol is bad for you, ok! That is simply your opinion; as pointed out, It is a matter of "Christian Freedom", hence, do not look with disdain on someone who consumes alcohol in moderation or consider him/her a sinner. Besides, not only excessive intake of alcohol is a sin, the bible also condemns gluttony (such as excessive intake of food etc.) Hence, if you consume an excessive amount of soft drinks or other foods, it is also a sin!

To be honest, I think this is the most asinine decision ever taken by the president. Some one slaps you, and you not only turn the other cheek but also bend down for him to f**k you over! They said GEJ was weak and incompetent but this surpasses him in all ramifications. I weep for Nigeria #SMH

salford1:
We even send pilots there for training lol
Nothing is working in Nigeria. No wonder the South Africans are laughing at us.

We have institutions here in Nigeria that train our pilots eg. 401, 402, 403 Flying training school, NCAT and international helicopter training school. The issue is that since the advent of Boko Haram insurgency, there has been increased need for more pilots to prosecute the war, hence the sending of young officers to SA for further training.

They are not his neighbors but his family.

I did quite my job in June simple because my job wouldn't grant my request to use my earned personal paid time for 2weeks to attend to my 3 year old son that was having breathing issues at night and when I reached out to my HR to know why they wouldn't grant my request, they directed me to contact Lincoln financial which is an organization outsourced by my workplace to handle issues that had to do with FMLA issues.

When I contacted the organization, they politely told me that my companies HR should have granted my request and shouldn't have directed me to them since I wasn't requesting for a family leave on health grounds but that I actually offered to use my accrued personal paid time which is my right and they now redirected me back to my HR again.

I got fed up with the back and forth and I told my spouse that I can replace a job but I can't replace my son.

I tendered my resignation within 2days of this back and forth drama with my HR because I needed to give my son 100% of my time to figure out what was going on with him.

The same day I tendered my resignation, I started getting calls from the very top of the management board because
Someone in HR that read my resignation letter and the reasons stated for resigning seems like an indictment on the HR department for making me go through all this when all it required was just a simple click of a button to grant my request.

Well, I was offered my job back within the 4th day of tendering my resignation and I respectively declined because my mind was already made up and I knew that I can easily get another job on the same field along with my experience and coming from a very big organization was an advantage.

My son got all the medical attention and family love he so needed and when I submitted my Resume to 5 different organizations, all 5 of them offered me the job but since I was on the driver's seat, I went with the one that offered to pay me what I desired to be paid.

Family comes first while everything else is secondary but this only applies to those that treasure their families though.

Mikel treasures his family and they come first.

Why will a northerner be the commissioner of police in SE in a supposed Federal country. What does he know about the people of the state to be an effective police chief? Its like a man who grew up in texas all his life coming to newyork to be commisioner of police. And that is even tho they are all christians...
Now a muslim aboki whose people commited genocide on igbos a few yrs ago is commisioner of police. Wat will he do against fulani killings.
The north keep poking into our eyes in this country

How many igbos are commisioners in north?

My thoughts exactly

I don't know if I am being paranoid but I have noticed a very disturbing trend. I've come to discover that most commissioner of police in southern states are predominantly northern Muslims but one hardly finds the same scenario up north. Why is it always like that?

I wonder if na Native Doctors the school de train!

Na today

See Bauka fa? Former Commandant of the prestigious NMS - Zaria, has rubbished his reputation by joining politics and hobnobbing with Criminal elements.

That's trump for you. Talk and do and the most unassuming president in the world. But he is a zillion times better than empty headed buhari.

Do you even know the meaning of the word "unassuming"? That word and Trump don't belong in the same sentence. The word that aptly describes Trump is Narcissist, he feels he is the best.
