One thing i like with America is that You're either a Democrat or a Republican.

If you keep switching sides, No one will take u serious.

He should never have left.

Sorry my mate but you got it wrong. The democratic party and the republican party are the two MAJOR parties there but you have others like GREEN PARTY, CONSTITUTION PARTY, LIBERTERIAN PARTY and others which numbers over 20. But you got it right when you said that if one keeps changing party nobody will take you serious there.

There, they practice politics but here we are generally confused with what we are practicing as it has not gotten a name in the english dictionary.

May God help us.

mrofficial:
APC waxing stronger.

Sijioke:
By the precious name of God. I will build houses better than this.

And I join my faith to yours and say AMEN.

idris4r83:
it doesn't stop us from voting out GEJ come 2015

Hope you have a voter's card.

TribalEAST:
Ibos that shout GEJ till 3053 don't even get quarter of what the north gets.

You see how tribalistic you are? Igbos are going for what is good for Nigeria and not ''IT MUST BE FROM OUR OWN SYNDROME'' Why not surpport government of progression instead of this your shallow tribalistic body language.

Grow up little boy!!!!!!

nickxtra:
As far long as President Jonathan are Obasanjo are not competing for 'who did this better of worst, I must let you that ObJ started most of the infrastructures being completed by President Jonathan today, including this projects.

Just as gsm was started by Abacha but Obj took the glory?

brownlord:
Nonsense,I guess this project will be abandon as soon as the man gets voted in the second time, I saw this with oshiomole already. Nigeria politicians be deceiving us since 1914

Eiyyaa!

talktimi:
Buhari is working

Working like no other!!!!!!!!!! lol........

So that they will have time to re-group?

ROTFL!

Can somebody help me tell them that EBOLA is no more in Nigeria because it has relocated to United States of America abi dem no dey read news? lol.

Chai imagine drug haven!

egift:
Jonathan is trying very hard to reap where he did not sow. What a shame. Since there is nothing to support his interest, he is asking for neutrality as if Ebola just walked away on its own.

This Clueless Leadership must be voted out.

And happily it is only few months away, so be ready!

ChimaAdeoye:
Pastor TB Joshua is a true man of God.
No matter the amount of blasphemy against his service to the poor, God will continue to bless him for his selflessness

Only God knows who is his man!

EroticAngelina:

Some call it PoBC!!!

django1:
Lol, this one here is a little dimwitted.

Sorry I am not joining issues with you because you are not my class! Check the next door.

obailala:
It is disheartening that some individuals can't still see anything wrong with the present maladministration... Here we are again, citing the containment of ebola as an achievement of this government?... Can you kindly tell me what this administration from Abuja did specially to deserve outstanding praise for the containment of ebola?... I understand that for any national achievement within this period, the president should take the glory but it is sickening that we keep touting ebola containment as an achievement as if even an Abacha administration wouldn't have still done the same.

I am very sure you did not read my post with objective mind because if you did you would have seen where I wanted to know if nothing good has come out oif this administration.

Well you may not see or know what the government did to contain the EV but international communities saw and know. I am very sure that if that virus had escalated YOU would have heaped blame on the government but now it is has not it is better to give someone glory.

However you see it please be ready for feb. 2015. The best place to bring down this government is the polling booths and not on nairaland, good enough it is only few months to come.


Let us not go the way of Syria or Afghanistan or their likes.

The likes of berem, Ibnsultan and egift, I think it will be better if you change the way you reason. Constructive opposition is not achieved by kicking against whatever the other man does, no far from it.

It greives my heart to read you lot's comment on any issue concerning this government. Is it not rather an indictment that anytime this government is mentioned, people have known where you folk will pitch your tent? So nothing good has ever come from this government?

Now let me educate you a little, if this government is as bad as you people want the world to believe, over ten thousand Nigerians would have died from EBOLA considering our population and our way of life. But against all odds this government lived up to and even above expectations to the point that Americans are seeking counsel from Nigeria, the first of it's kind. Ebola did not sart from any of the states with small population but the state with the highest number of people and it was contained and you lot were blindfoled by your unfounded hatred that you did not see it.

But I know Jonathan mistakes, unlike Abacha he did not employ the services of people like Uche Chukwumerije or unlike Obasanjo he did not look for the likes of Ojo Maduekwe who will be busy highlighting unseen government's achievments before the cameras of tv houses.

But I have problem with you people. Your unknown identity. It will interest me if you people will unmask yourselves by telling us who you are and what you have achieved as individuals. This will put us on a better pedestal to weigh your value but untill then you folk are nuissance to the progressive youths of this country

SalC:
And who told you who is a believer, am surprised you don't know every believer is a saint. Read 1 cor 1:1-2

Hmmmm!!!! I see. I don't know ooooooooooooooo. Tell me something but spare the details as I am not ready for any form of incoherent logic.

SalC:
We extend it to all the saints

And who told you who a SAINT is? Na una dey judge naw?

Ichiato:
You talk of manufacturing doctrines like you manufacturer doctrines from tin air. No you can't just manufacture doctrines from tin air, as a matter of fact, you can't manufacture anything from tin air (except you're magician LOL). All catholic doctrines have bases from which they were manufactured and many of which are still in the bible. Why Catholics pray to mary and saints? I believe Werehkpe has given bible passages to explain earlier. The reason why I take such stance that everything does not have to be in the bible is the way many non-Catholics demand specific instances in the bible to support our arguments as if without that then we are wrong. Catholic doctrines can also be based on traditions which is spoken words and actions from generation to generation.

Thank you @Ichiato for your attempt to my question. But one thing I know is that if I am preparing for exams I have to read through the textbooks which covers the course of study. Having done that I don't think the examiner will expect me to cover what the syllabus did not stipulate.

The Bible is Christians' textbook for our course of study and I strongly believe that anything not writen in the Bible is insignificant to us. The book of 2 Timothy 3:16 say;ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSIPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Having known this I don't think it is in the power of a mortal man to add to what GOD himself insipired as I believe HE did not leave anything necessary behind.

Please I am resting my case here as I don't want to continue further with this.

May God bless us all and be merciful to us for our OVER-KNOWLEDGE and our IGNORANCE.


SHALOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An0nimus:
"My church is bigger than yours" is practically the way some of us are addressing this issue.

You see comments like "how can your church formed 20 years ago dare the church that has been in existence over 2000 years"

Its funny really.

One thing I know is the Lord knows those who are His and I dare say they are not peculiar to any particular church or denomination. Instead of vain arguments and babblings let us instead seek to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Plus seek a personal relationship with our maker not one dictated by any cleric, pastor or priest.

Samplegirl I'm enjoying your discourse

Thank you. I appreciate.

Ichiato:
It is not specifically written to answer your question straight ahead but it is also not written that whatever is not written is wrong or is a lie. In fact in the last verse of the book of John it is stated that christ did many things which were not recorded in the bible. So say that because certain things is not in the bible then it is wrong is in fact wrong.

@Ichiato I must point out that you are one of few people I have met on this forum who maintain high sense of decorum. This interaction to my understanding is not for purpose of abuse or name calling or empty argument but for widening one's scope of horizon of knowledge and understanding. I have enjoyed every bit of it because I can clearly see the gentleman's approach.

Now back to the main issue as you said. Do you imply that because all that Christ did was not recorded it is then right for men to MANUFACTURE certain things, be it doctrine or anything and sell it to the congregation under the assumption that ''he may have said it, it is right, not all things were recorded. Pls could you throw more light. Thank you.

Ichiato:
We Catholics do not narrow it only to Mary. We also honor and pray to saints and we also ask our priest and any man of God we respect to pray for us. Its Just that Mary's role in our salvation is so worthy that of more honor and respect hence different levels of respect are awarded. That's all.

Is it written that we pray to Saints or any other human being? Please I am asking this because I don't know but want to know.

Thank you.

SalC:
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this? . John 11:25-26

Jesus is asking if you believe his words above. I believe it, do you?

Did Mary live and believe in Jesus?
If Yes, do you still consider her "dead"?

Interesting, isn't it? In that case why do we narrow it to only Mary? I think it should have been all believers we know.

Just saying ooooo!!!!!!!!!!

nnatom:
u have made no point, the Op talks about mediate which I have shown u the meaning.

this where Mary interceded in the bible,
john 2:1-8 and this is also known as the first miracle of Christ.

On the third day a wedding took
place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’
mother was there, and Jesus and
his disciples had also been invited
to the wedding. When the wine
was gone, Jesus’ mother said to
him, “They have no more wine.”
“Woman, why do you involve
me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has
not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants,
“Do whatever he tells you.”
Nearby stood six stone water jars,
the kind used by the Jews for
ceremonial washing, each holding
from twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill
the jars with water”; so they filled
them to the brim.
Then he told them, “Now draw
some out and take it to the master
of the banquet.”

I repeat Mary do not mediate she intercede pls don't miss the words. that part of Luke u quoted she also said " Henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.

Please is there anywhere it is witten that the dead people have the powers to intercede for the living or is it simply human innovation?

Chibueze291994:
we only honour mary
we do not worship her.
Truly no one goes to the father except through christ, but
some are also in a better position to pray for us that's where we talk about mediator. let's take a look at what happened in canaan.

If we are looking for how many mediator we have , the Bible has told us. If we are looking for the mediator is, the Bible has told us also. So it is human manipulation to bring in anything that is unbiblical.

The answers to how many and who the mediator is are found in 1 timothy 2:5

This is madness!

daresma93:
Don't even harbour the idea cos my mum is very old woman 62 to b precise

Hahahahaha!!!!! Maybe you are the last born and she had you she was raound 40 which means you are around 22,lol.

Maybe you will hit your head against the wall if I upload a recent picture of my first seed. lol.


Any way it is a small world.

Happy weekend though.

daresma93:
Ok madam I am sorry, feel better now and least I forget the last time I checked there's freedom of speech for every man

Lol! my brother we are not quarreling over anything. The thing is that we are humans and we make mistakes by what we say or do or fail to do which is human nature. But in his mercy he has given us room to make amends by way of taking corections.

The comment you made was about yourself you remember and not about me but I know that if any of my children will say such to himself I would surely reprimand him. Let us learn to say the POSITVES to our lives because it counts.

Please if you find my word usage offensive in any way, do forgive me. Who knows I be old enough to be your mum, ROTFL.

Do have a woderful day.

One thing in this country is that the masses do not know what they really want. Being biased has robbed us of good sense of reasoning. When you read what the op wrote you begin to wonder do contributors read before commenting.

The Op said speeding is suspected but because we have made up our mind, we attack the government. When I look at my screen I see two cars that are out of the road and if you ask me I will say the two drivers were competing to see who will claim James Bond and Jack Bauer title.

Granted our roads are not that good but accidents still happen in the western world. Let us first seek to know the cause ot things before heaping blames.

The people that own those jerrycans at Ikorodu will surely be blaming government of bad governance.......lol.

Nobleval:
Why always our military plane? Stop using fairly used aircrafts.

You say it as if you were there when it was bought. Meanwhile America that use brand new ones still record mishaps. The sixth Seal crew that took on Osama bin Laden lost one of their helicopter gunship to mechanical fault and not to enemy fire.

Shit happens everywhere except HEAVEN!

OgologoDimkpa:
Good to hear this news. If only the Bokoharam's Apologists and sympathisers will rally round GEJ and the Nigerian Military anf fight these deadly Islamic scumbag, Bokoharam would be a thing of the past.

Unfortunately they will not. Some people want news to be in the air, positve or not it does not matter to them.

My question is, what will it benefit people who side with these terrorists knowing fully well that their bullet will not spare them?

Sadistsssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

daresma93:
Are u messanger of God or a seer if not I don't need to prove anything to you and itz obvious u are a saddist because even a nursery school child can decipher dat am just joking

I see your wisdom. But wise men are always ready to take correction and learn. Real wise men do not open their mouth or type everything that comes to their mind because they want to joke

Please before you go to bed tonight try read this portion of the Bible; Proverbs 10:19.
