Na wa o, already u dey try gba the guy?

SMh @goodnature. ur mind no pure...

Great to hear your story and I wish you the best of luck in the Haulage industry. I am going to be moving back to Nigeria myself to start a Financial Services company, so I was overjoyed to read your experiences and even happier to know that you found the right fit in the end,,

BrotherJohn: Have you ever taken the time to get to the root of the matter?
Why God swore to perpetually destroy the Amalekites?
Do you even know what that name means? God and check!

Do you know what the Amalekites did to Israel when Israel was passing by their land?

Let me help you a bit:
Deu 25:17 "Remember what the Amalekites did to you as you were coming from Egypt.
Deu 25:18 They had no fear of God, and so they attacked you from the rear when you were tired and exhausted, and killed all who were straggling behind.
Deu 25:19 So then, when the LORD your God has given you the land and made you safe from all your enemies who live around you, be sure to kill all the Amalekites, so that no one will remember them any longer. Do not forget!

Today, if a bully comes into your family and goes after the youngest ones, say 6-month-old and 2-year-old, in the household and begins to smash their heads against the wall, you will be clapping and saying well done? If that is what you will do, then you must be the worst person on planet Earth!

It is a coward who shoots his opponent from the back!

God will defend the weak and innocent one.

So you believe that if God orders it, it would be acceptable to kill a suckling baby? Even an Amalekite baby?

Step in the right direction if you ask me

Britain's very polarized when it comes to race relations and most people don't realize that when you get outside the M25, lots of people still have colonial attitudes towards 'coloured' people. He may garner support in immigrant hotspots such as London and Birmingham, but that's as far as it will go.

There has only ever been one black FTSE 100 CEO proving somewhat the institutional nature of discrimination there. I've worked in corporate Britain for a while and do not believe it can happen.

Well done for trying sha, but would it not be better for someone of his calibre to come and contest in Nigeria, and not in the UK where he is really just another immigrant. We need people like him in 9ja, not GEJ, Namadi Sambo, Atiku and the rest

Hello,

Do you offer any discounts (or promo prices) on the N45m for the semi detached in Lokogoma? Besides the 10% offered for outright payment.

Thanks,

eunisam: N1.9million and you said is cheap? Abeg review the price. What happend to those days gulf was sold at the price list of N80,000 and N120,000? Any company that can produce such affordable car will be ontop.

Inflation happened mumu. N1.9m is cheap for a brand new car with warranty.

If APC do not have the sense to cast Fashola, Amaechi, or Oshiomhole for the presidential ticket in 2015, I would rather vote the fisherman back in power in disgust. With all the fantastic performers in their party, they are still looking to front old cargoes. SMH

'The man from Lagos' for 2015 abeg...

cloudstar: Any Christian that ignores any passage of the Bible no matter how difficult it is doesn't know their history or is simply ignorant. You question can be answered several ways. Before I do, I am aware that there are people (maybe yourself) that might take exceptions to what I have to say.

God didn’t confine His wrath to the Canaanites only. He proclaimed the death sentence upon the whole of humanity. We will all die because we have broken God’s Law. Every one of us is waiting on death row. Instead of standing in moral judgment over Almighty God, we need to judge ourselves according to the Law of God. We will find that we have a multitude of sins and therefore are deserving of punishment. Yet God, out of love, paid the penalty for our sin so we would not have to.

Moving forward, I will propose a question to you before doing justice to it. Here is my question - "If you were alive during the birth of Adolf Hitler and knew 110% that he would kill millions of innocent people and cause calamity on a global scale - what would you do?"

To answer your question, we have to refer to the Bible and the context of these events. Here is what the Bible said about the Israelites:

"It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deuteronomy 9:5)

Okay, how "wicked" could those people have been? How about killing their own sons and daughters by burning them in sacrifices to their gods.

"You shall not behave thus toward the LORD your God, for every abominable act which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. (Deuteronomy 12:31)

Let us look at the character of God. Did God kill any innocent people along with the evil ones? When God was about to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked God if He would destroy the cities if there were 50 righteous people in them. God said no. Then Abraham asked the same question if there were 45 righteous people. Every time he dropped the number and got the same answer. The fact is that God would not have destroyed those cities if there were any righteous people in them. The few righteous who were in those cities He warned ahead of time to get out.So, God does not destroy the righteous along with the evil - Please keep in mind the question I asked you about Adolf Hitler.

The Christian concept of God is that He can't and will not stand sin in any form. Just the way a judge would pass judgement for crime is the same way God passes judgement for sin. If critics like you would take the time to study the Bible and make an honest evaluation of the principles of God’s justice, wrath, and love, he would see the perfect and harmonious interplay between them. God’s vengeance is not like the impulsive, irrational, emotional outbursts of pagan deities or human beings. He is infinite in all His attributes and thus perfect in justice, love, and anger. Just as God’s ultimate and final condemnation of sinners to eternal punishment will be just and appropriate, so the temporal judgment of wicked people in the Old Testament was ethical and fair. We human beings do not have an accurate handle on the gravity of sin and the deplorable nature of evil and wickedness. Human sentimentality is hardly a qualified measuring stick for divine truth and spiritual reality.

How incredibly ironic that the atheist, the agnostic, the skeptic, and the liberal all attempt to stand in judgment upon the ethical behavior of God when, if one embraces their position, there is no such thing as an absolute, objective, authoritative standard by which to pronounce anything right or wrong. As the French existentialist philosopher, Sartre, admitted: “Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist.... Nor...are we provided with any values or commands that could legitimize our behavior” (1961, p. 485). The atheist and agnostic have absolutely no platform on which to stand to make moral or ethical distinctions—except as the result of purely personal taste. The mere fact that they concede the existence of objective evil is an unwitting concession there is a God Who has established an absolute framework of moral judgments.

Those who disagree with God’s annihilation of the wicked in the Old Testament have the same liberal attitude that has come to prevail in America just in the last half century. That attitude has typically opposed capital punishment, as well as the corporal punishment of children. Such people simply cannot see the rightness of evildoers being punished by execution or physical pain. Nevertheless, their view is skewed—and the rest of us are being forced to live with the results of their warped thinking: undisciplined, out-of-control children are wreaking havoc on our society by perpetrating crime to historically, all-time high levels.

Those who reject the ethics of God’s destructive activity in the Old Testament, to be consistent, must reject Jesus and the New Testament. Over and over again, Jesus and the New Testament writers endorsed and defended such activity (e.g., Luke 13:1-9; 12:5; 17:29-32; 10:12; Hebrews 10:26-31). The Bible provides the only logical, sensible, meaningful, consistent explanation regarding the principles of retribution, punishment, and the conditions under which physical life may be extinguished.

This is my 2 cents on the matter

Your 2 cents or 2 million cents .

I have read all you wrote this Sunday morning and none of it is relevant. I do not know why Christians like to use an incoherent and controversial bible to defend their religion. Can we just use common sense to discuss abeg because I am no longer Christian so quoting scriptures to me from a dubiously-compiled storybook in a debate is of little value.

Can you just answer this question please @cloudstar... is it ever justifiable to kill a suckling baby, regardless of how wicked it's parents were?

God told the Israelites to slaughter all the Amalekites. Kill all men, women, children, animals and SUCKLING BABIES.

Any God that can do that is just as bad as Boko Haram.

Why do Christians always ignore this passage? It shows that God is wicked and vengeful and if I were not an atheist, I would rather follow Lucifer!

"Kill all sucking babies"... smh.

PassingShot: PDP loyalists and sympathizers are pathetic. You now insult and condemn the man instead of addressing the grave issue at hand.

Answer these questions:

1. Was Lai whisked away by masked military men or not?
2. Did GEJ/PDP arrest many APC leaders on the eve of the election and on election day or not?
3. Was sending the huge number of military personnel to Osun not meant to intimidate the voters and rig the election or not?
4. Is PDP playing divisive politics by demonizing APC as Islamic party or not?

There are many sins against the PDP and by the grace of God, their leaders will be held accountable at some point.

Thank you o my brother, there is at least one person thinking on this forum. It is only naija where a leader will not feel the need to even comment on such serious allegations and dismiss them as machinations of the opposition. Can GEJ, Reuben Abati, Reno Omokri or Wendell Simlin confirm if Lai Mohammed was infact whisked away, and why?

Nigerians need to start asking the right questions and perhaps, we will start getting the right answers!

This is great news after the debacle at Ekiti state. Please no more PDP thugs in power abeg.

Parisfran: I know sarcasm when I see it. I hope other people know it too.

OP, please if you are looking to become a full time entrepreneur discard all the real estate advise you are seeing here. Real Estate is the best business for people who still have jobs because of its low interferance nature (you lawyer can even act on your behalf and you might never see your tenant face to face).

Think more about production, manufacturing e.t.c. The average investment from building real estate is 10 percent a year. That means it might take you 10 years to recover the cash you spent on land and building, the (only) good thing is that your building would most likely appreciate in value if it is in a good area. Trust me contrary to popular belief not all real estate properties increase in value. With the rate of erosion and flooding going on, it's a big case of luck. One good example of that luck is Ogudu G.R.A in Lagos, 1 side of the GRA is doing well, the other side is sinking and sinking fast. As at 20 years ago the both sides of the GRA looked exactly the same.

My post is too long. Sorry about that.

Very informative @Parisfran, thank you. The low yields are the main problem with Real Estate and increases in value are not always guaranteed.

Lmao... So Cossy must be a virgin too. Mschew! These hoes are liars... I'm not buying it. See Toolz of all pple... dia is God o!

@Hakir, are you based in Abuja? I have purchased a 2000 sqm plot in Abuja and need someone to take charge on construction.

Wonder what he is doing there when we need him at home. GEJ is still yet to visit Chibok yet he has been to France and the US since the kidnappings. SMH.

Fashola for president 2015!!!

Hello,

I have just purchased a square plot of land in Kuje area of Abuja - AA3 Layout. I need someone to help me draw full architectural plans to be built on this land area for 2 semi detached bungalows. Each of the semi detached bungalows should be a 3 bedroom (all ensuite) apartment with a kitchen and small maid's room.

I would like a modern, contemporary design however, cost is really important therefore, it needs to be practical using cheaper materials without compromising quality. Therefore, could you give me AN ESTIMATE on how much it would cost to complete this building in a place like Abuja? Note that the land area is already fenced.

Finally, I would prefer to award this to an architect that can also follow up with Development Control in Abuja to ensure that the prescribed plans are acceptable by them before development.

If interested in the job, please drop me a quote ON THE FORUM with any additional details you think may be of use.

Thanks!

This scheme cannot work so long as Diezani's hand is involved in it. That woman is worse than a leper, every ministry she has touched is plagued by corruption. We should send her to Sambisa forest!

Lmao. My only surprise is at the people that expected GEJ to deliver

Lmao.... na today?!?!

GEJ na f*k boi. Sacking all these pawns yet he has not appointed any blame to their ring leader, Diezani. What power does that woman have over him even with all the evidence we have of her corruption?!

saliubello: call me for cool new deal

Is this a deal for your Lokogoma development? Is the 4 bedroom semi detached still selling at N45m?

balispecial: one should b very careful cos dis kind of post tend 2 demoralized children towards thr parents.......no amount of authority is 2much by parents on thr child cos Allah commanded us in d Quran dat " none is worthy of our worship except him and we should b good towards our parents ". Wat diz means is dat we should respect them, relate wt them in d best of manner cos we should nt 4get d fact dat some parents r bad and it does nt mean disregard and disrespect them.
Also we must always do thr wills except whn it go against d rules of almighty Allah....most importantly we should knw one day we wil also becum parents and we treat our parents is the way our children will treat us...may God help us

Geez, enough about what some book, written centuries ago did or did not say about parenting. Can't you people think for yourselves?!

Is it not the same ilk of advice from your book that a certain group is using to terrorizing the country now. You people should get your religious house in order before giving any advice AT ALL!

babestella: Shut up you fool, is President Jonathan your mate? No, he will leave Abuja and come and carry gun to fight terrorism while your hopeless governor sleeps tight on his Arabian mat. Please shut up and grow some brain.

Lwkmd... grow SOME brain. Lwkmd

I'm sorry @babestella, please tell me that was a mistake...

kyzaru: have you considered farming? OR Investing in startup's or existing ventures looking to expand?

Farming is completely new to me. I have considered it but I make it a point not to invest in business where I cannot reasonably fathom the business model and farming is a bit complicated. So much technical knowledge is required that I will have to start at a disadvantage and it takes too much time to build a distribution network...

I am VERY interested in startups/existing ventures, but I will have to judge each by its own merit (and business case). If you know of any specific business areas, that will be helpful.

Wily2wily: But, i'm happy

You're an idiut! I hope someone you love gets blown up the same way then we will see what you have to say then.

Wily2wily: Boko Haram is a Northern problem not a Nigeria problem

Ba careful. It's a Northern problem for now, but the fighters are just a bus ride away from making it a southern problem as well.

Can people please stop saying things like 'let them kill themselves', these are innocent people being killed/bombed and they do not deserve this fate. they are fellow Nigerians so we should all condemn these killings.
