NoIgboSoundTueh:
According to the Bible Homosexuality is not a sin.
Israel is the most gayest country in earth yet Yashua still bless them and chose them over all goyim
Why is RCCG suspending pastors over mere homosexuality?

can you quote that your Bible verse that states homosexual isn't a sin?

NoIgboSoundTueh:
After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.” (1 Samuel 18:1) David says of Jonathan: “Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.” (2 Samuel 1:26).

you just took the Bible upside down it never even said homosexual isn't a sin like you've said it. this place you quote is just talking about the brotherly affection they both shared, guys being so close doing most of their things in common.

now go read 1 Corinthians 6:9 — English Standard Version (ESV)
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

1 Corinthians 6:9 — The New International Version (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men

1 Corinthians 6:9 — The New King James Version (NKJV)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

1 Corinthians 6:9 — New Living Translation (NLT)
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,


and Revelation 21:8 — The New International Version (NIV)
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8 — English Standard Version (ESV)
8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8 — The New King James Version (NKJV)
8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

if the Bible could condemn fornication and adultery (illegal sex between a man and a woman) how much more homosexuality.

Naira for crude oil, refined oil for Naira only way to reduce the weight of dollars.

Russia offers refined product for dollars, now India has started same, why would Nigeria be giving out crude for dollars then collect refined oil by returning same dollars they got from them?

Beekeeper1:
Growing up in Nigeria, there were certain things you just knew about visiting someone’s home. No one sat you down to teach you these rules; they were as natural as knowing that jollof is incomplete without some kind of meat on the side. But when I finally invited a friend who had just moved back to Nigeria to tag along on one of my Saturday visits, I quickly realized how many of these unspoken rules I had taken for granted.

Rule #1: Announce Your Presence
In Nigeria, you don’t just show up, even if you’re already at the gate. We’re all about “respect,” so before stepping inside, you either knock or call out. I always do the classic “ko ko ko, anybody home?” as I walk through the door, announcing my presence. But my friend? He waltzed right in, no knock, no call. Auntie Blessing gave him a side-eye that said a thousand things without a word. “It’s respectful to knock, even if the door’s open,” I whispered. He nodded, looking a bit confused, but lesson learned.

Rule #2: “Have You Eaten?” Means More Than You Think
In Nigeria, when you visit, the first question is never “How are you?” It’s always, “Have you eaten?” To some, it might seem like small talk, but it’s serious business. The “have you eaten?” is actually a test of humility and also a generous offer. I knew better than to say yes too quickly. Instead, I told Auntie Blessing, “Ah, I’ve had a small something, but if you have anything small, I can manage.”

My friend? He thought it was just a polite question. He said he wasn’t hungry—and he meant it. Auntie Blessing looked at him like he’d just rejected her life’s work. In Nigeria, you always eat, even if it’s just a small plate. The moral? Always leave room for “a small something.”

Rule #3: Watch Your Words About Their Home
There’s an art to commenting on someone’s home in Nigeria. You don’t go in saying, “Wow, it’s small” or “Oh, I didn’t expect this decor.” Instead, you admire whatever you see, whether it’s a new TV stand or a plastic flowerpot. I went in with a compliment ready: “Auntie, this your place is just fine, very cozy.” She beamed with pride.

But my friend? He made the rookie mistake of asking, “Oh, is this rented or owned?” I shot him a quick look, and Auntie Blessing’s polite smile turned frosty. In Nigeria, home is home, and unless someone volunteers that information, you never ask.

Rule #4: Prepare for the ‘Just Gisting’ Marathon
In Nigeria, visits are never short and sweet. Once you’re there, expect at least an hour or two of conversation, sprinkled with questions about “the family”, “work”, and “the economy”. My friend had no idea. Thirty minutes in, he glanced at his watch, looking ready to leave. Auntie Blessing caught on and asked, “Ah ah, are you in a hurry?” There’s a code here: you don’t leave quickly unless it’s an emergency or you want them to feel bad.

When she finally gave us permission to go, we had been there for over an hour, and she sent us off with packed food “for the road.” My friend, bless him, was both surprised and grateful, clearly not realizing that no one leaves a Nigerian household empty-handed.

Rule #5: Always Say “Thank You” Before You Go
As we stood up to leave, I nudged my friend and whispered, “Remember, Thank you, ma, for everything.” Even if they gave you a glass of water and nothing else, you thank them as though you’d just been treated to a five-course meal. He followed my lead, and I could see Auntie Blessing’s expression soften. A proper goodbye in Nigeria is part gratitude, part respect, and 100% necessary.

As we finally left, my friend shook his head, both amused and enlightened. “I had no idea visiting a friend could be like that.” I laughed, knowing he’d just had his first real initiation into Naija life. Visiting friends in Nigeria isn’t just a drop-in; it’s a ritual, a cultural experience that teaches you respect, gratitude, and the beauty of hospitality in our own unique way.

so valid points even more. nice piece here, we are just too blessed as a people but greed is really undoing us.

I could remember my growing up, one of the unwritten rules is parents acquaintance that came on visiting won't leave without them greasing your palm with a little something.
another is you go visiting with a little something for the younglings (kids).
don't get into people space and make a nuisance of it, like putting of your legs on their chair either the one you are sitting on or crossed to another just for comfort, (I have a friend that does this with reckless abandon to think his foot sweats and get smelly put my wife off.)
lots of unwritten rules and codes that being forgotten.

SlavaUkraini:
And when you are at the door 🚪

Leave your shoes 👟👟

Outside.

another silent rule.

WantsandMore:
I must commend your writing skills but the economy by T-Pain nowadays is about to turn our hospitality culture into something else. God epp us.

you are right on this.

Sonnobax15:

I swear I can relate op

I have a very good pal whom I normally visit,but it's been like over 3 months I've been there....... Whenever I visit,the mom always dishes food for me . She know I'm the shy type but being too closed to their family has bridged the gap of shyness .

These days,na me dey boldly dey ask--'momsy, anything dey the kitchen? I wan shawalene, meaning I wan eat" . She go just laugh,enter kitchen and come back with the food....

Honestly, friendship is bae especially when you're in the right one.........I miss all my nighas cha,but na hustle and struggle just keep men apart for now...

way back, you brought those memories following like rapid.

PotatoSalad:
Call before you visit. Whether family or not.
If you visit me without notice and the front camera picks you up, I'll tell you I'm not around.
Respect people's space

this rule is alien to us.

Dijita:
Call before you visit is not a Nigeria culture. We just show up.

Piro18:
This rule cause a problem between me and a close friend, it's been a while since he visited me. Only for me to come home and saw a message from that he and his wife came to my house. The annoying thing v that this my friend has my phone number, he could have called that he came my house or even leave a text message. He only messaged one of my siblings. Me too I did not call him, I only sent a text message to his phone. It's over 20 years, he doesn't call him or talk to me. Please is there anything wrong with my actions.

you and your friend got it all wrong (besides the rule is alien to us in this part, it is more of a western thing, we show up unannounced even till now.) true friendship don't break based on inconsequential issues (you both are being egoistic.)

Righthussle:
He's eating. When you are eating you don't talk

na who do us like this?

this nonsense pangolo with crash and kill someone else's sons and daughters then they will come on social media to beg us for rip.

Samueltemi337:
When last you see me beg?

I no fit laugh this afternoon o, cos me self never put anything for bele.

see me see wahala with this your answer, thank you say you talk true. you dey beg, the only thing be say eh don tay wey you do beggy beggy last.

people must survive anyhow anyhow, as much nobi thief men go thief, na survival instinct for Nigeria now, highly activated.

wasting our resources everytime.

Re : Segliz , you welcome.

thanks.

CodeTemplarr:
What of those afflicted by witches who appear to them physically? How do you differentiate angels from human propelled demons?

Angels can appear to as angel, in human form (like it happened to Abraham) and God can send human to carry out the assignment of an Angel (human being in form of an Angel.) Now to think of it an Angel at any point would never harm, except you are evil and it has been given an assignment to come punish you.

witches are no demon but human beings that has the ability to access supernatural powers, then end up using it to practice dark arts, acts and crafts. demons won't appear in form of Angels they lack the ability and mind when demons or human beings with dark powers and abilities come close you know so you know their purpose like it is said satan comes not but to steal and destroy.

thank you for this great effort.

here we go again, government agency signing mou government agency and 20 of there offshoot.

Thugnificent:
Message yourself how? I'm not jobless bro to be doing all that.

you aren't jobless yet you could go around chatting under age girls. creating this nonsense to make front page or for your likes to come batching women.

phoenixchap:
Now that's a NATIONAL MONUMENT!

one reasonable thing I've seen Mr President done so far, returning the Glory of our National Symbol. this use to be the Glory and National Symbol before switching to Zuma Rock and that meaningless Abuja gate. Glory being restored.

SUPERPACK:
This is not practical, redenomination of a currency doesn't help it to attain value, value is only attained by production, exportation and demand

A good case study is Ghana, after removing 4 zeros from the cedis it has not benefited their economy. The inflation is still there, the lack of job and acceptance of the money policy means the move had no effect.

you are right. even if it will work our polithiefcian won't accept this. for it won't allow them access to fund in Ghana Must Go. the more reason this polithievecians devalue the currency is just to have access to more funds for embezzlement.

a world class event in an undeveloped environment.

Maybe the soldier converted to Judaism before joining IDF. If so, his family should respect his religious stance and allow him to be buried as a Jew. Why are Jews so intolerant of Christians though? [/quote]you need tell this to righteousness2 who is so obsessed with this way, the self acclaimed born again or christian can't differentiate between christians and Jews, Christianity and Judaism. let come and read this before he support this evil further.

Nigeria! Nigeria!! Nigeria!!!

which way Nigeria my dear country? only in thou will two federal security agency will fight physically on the street.

fighting in the full glare of those they are to brought to book for such shameful act. I want to believe those nscdc guys were obstructing the npf men from doing their thing, (who knows, don't mind me I didn't read.) as usual.

so we free to roast the man alive.

yes they didn't tell the man to show his followers and fellow Nigerians shege promax+ but their agents within gave tinubu the script to execute.

directly they didn't but indirectly they didn't, we understand so they shouldn't boarder. na the mumu leaders wey we get wey dey act their devilish scripts.

you will be welcomed, just over to play one of our African Super Heroes.

Mjshexy:
David is just a unique guy, he's got the flair and style. He's one artist that's always close to the people. Nice outfit i must say

I just like the guy I don't no why, he is just himself will sure trill you with whatever he does.

Verydarkhearted:
This guy is really cheap.. even portable can’t go this low..

reading, scrolling and closing the thread would have done you more good than this you said.

nothing is actually wrong with what he has done, he being used as the face of the brand. would you have tagged him cheap if he had help promote you small upcoming brand?

he just given life to a struggling brand, if every celebrity can do this then we would have life so easy for wealth would spread.

finally we got promoted.

hallelujah.

Passionnn:
Vote buying in disguise.

meaning no saner clime anywhere.

Winnin009:
They are saner bro. No give black people hope. As you can see, he dey use scope do am. Your leaders here will first improvish you then dangle nonsense so that on election day right in front of your faces so that you can sell your votes for them to keep improvishing you.

your comment got me cracked and laughing, the bolded part though. actually you are right, their system is still working irrespective of their bottle necks.

Belcon:
If our major political players and business moguls invest in education and infrastructure Nigeria will be great in no time

Fearurcreeator:
No doubt , but many that escapes poverty na show offs them sabi do now

you both said it all.
Nigerians are wealth drunk just to show off and oppress the next door neighbuor likewise as many that could cross their part.

even that travel out of the country do so to oppress their fellow Nigerians.

if this is true then it's better for our economy if only our corrupt leaders will utilize the opportunity that comes with this.

congratulations to our own.

why was her case rushed?

here we go again.

slimjimmy:
So, with the whole problems lined out facing Nigeria as a whole, osun state government has decided to build an airport.

A welcomed idea, but a very bad timing.

At a time when we face food crisis and Niger republic stops export of grains to Nigeria, where people can hardly feed and artisans can't find jobs.

These set of artisans, not wanting to be a nuisance to their country chose to go into farming to make ends meet, until the economy improves.

Our dear osun state government now feels it is proper to acquire these lands for an airport (which is a very wrong timing).

The government should be thinking of how to provide fertilizers, transport and general logistics to these people. But unfortunately, only the rich is considered.


Also, the land acquisition is too big for an airport. Comprising of two local governments being involved.

Notice is been given, but no plan has been put in place to know the exact area of land being acquired.

To make matters worse, the land owners are yet to do survey on these lands, hence the government winy be paying for the land.
As the government will only pay for crops such as cocoa, plantain, kola, pal kernel fruits e.t.c.

For those who have corn, pepper, tomatoes and yearly plant farms, they will get nothing.

Now, the king of this village is laying claims to be the over of all lands and the owner of all palm fruits, hence he intends on collecting money for all palm kernel trees on the vast hectares of land.


What will happen to the over 1,000 people that farm on this land?

By the time the government pays peanut, what will these farmers gain?

I experienced something a few days back. So, it was believed that the osun state ministry of land and acquisition would be coming to count the valuables on each land. No plan, nothing.


To my surprise, the population of people who came for their family land to be counted at a particular area was too much.

I couldn't help but wonder how much each person will get if the government eventually pays off.


I believe the government needs to do more for its citizens than just giving more problems.

I spoke to a retired army general about this development and he was highly disappointed.

His words were "is airport the next thing to do?".

Too many problems facing osun state. Even the governor is becoming a torn in his own home town with a lot of people hoping he doesn't win a second term.

To make matters worse, the king is having so many court cases of land grabbing. He is intent on selling whatever he can at the expense of the locals.

Who will come to the aid of these unprivileged people who chose to stand by their own but are being oppressed?

With Ibadan airport bring upgraded to international airport and akure airport being in use, how many people would actually use the proposed airport in osun state.

With Ibadan being the sit of power of the old western region, the Ibadan airport which was commissioned I June , 1982 by Joseph wayas has always been a shadow of itself with little to no activities. Ibadan has a massive commercial hub couldn't make use of its airport very well.

I can't help but wonder what use the proposed airport will be useful for in Ede, osun state.


Former governor Aregbesola turned the airport at iddo osun to a cargo airport almost a decade ago and till date, it is not functioning.


How can a governor be so insensitive to the plight of its people.

Yes, development must be made, but what about the timing? There are major crisis in the country and all the dancing governor is thinking of is chasing hundreds of farmers from their land, so as to build an airport that can never be beneficial to the state in anyway, except for the upper class who can afford to land private jets there.

What a shame.

this shows you we don't have leaders nor administrators but clueless fellows who were just power drunk went ahead to seize it by all means possible.

the funny thing here is the morons in Ede as we speak will be jubilating over a project that won't yield a thing over a life time for them, come to think there is an existing airport in that tiny state.

same we did in Ogun State that is locked within two airports (Ibadan and Lagos) of not more than 45 to 60min drive if our roads are in good condition constructing an airport.

Attached is just one document after the ministry of lands were asked for notification to the public ... No plan available. The attached document shows only a portion of what is planned on being acquired

this shows you we don't have leaders nor administrators but clueless fellows who were just power drunk went ahead to seize it by all means possible.

this is rampant within that environ into Edo.

ugwumichael:
Your response brings back memories of my time in Benin, where I listened to Dr. Nosa's Sunday evening program on K.U fm. A concerned caller shared a disturbing observation: underage girls, dressed provocatively, going out in the evening and you hear their mother's telling them to bring back a pack of rice for them. Some of these girls according to him are living in impoverished neighborhood[color=#006600][/color] and it's not as if they are working or the mother's gave them money to buy food for them but she expects her to come back with a pack of rice. The society is gradually decaying by the day

this is just out of it.

that missing fund is for the time you spent there (at least you got to pay rent) and your bail or release (which ever). Nigerian Police Force and nonsense are inseparable.

nice one here.
