Christianity EtcRe: Tithe Paying Before Or After Tax Deduction by Shokoloko(f): 6:57pm On Jan 29
Moniya4Real:
Good evening to you All my Christian brothers and sisters in the Faith.
This question has been bothering my mind all the while.; With the impending new tax regime and prior to now- How would tithe payers calculate their tithe in monetary value.
For example; should tax be paid on net or gross income?.
Positive and holy- spirit led responses are welcomed .
May the peace of Christ be upon us all
According to Deuteronomy 14:22–27 (English Standard Version)

22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves.
And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not neglect the Levite who is within your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

If the bible states that we are to eat our tithe ourselves and spend it on whatever we like, then tithe should be spent after tax.
FamilyRe: My Mum Wants My Kid Brother To Come Live With Me by Shokoloko(f): 1:23pm On Jan 16
ReekyMass:
My mum knows I'm just managing my life. I asked him to be a bit more patient and stay back in the village till I get something tangible to do, so I can take care of him when he comes to town, but he's insisting that he's already tired of staying in the village.

Considering what he did when he visited my immediate younger brother the other time, he wouldn't be able to go back there again.
When there is a problem on a plane the first request is to put an oxygen mask over yourself before helping others.
You just stated that you are managing yourself and not financially buoyant so why are yoy trying to help someone else? You will end up hurting yourself.

VanuatuWycombe:
You dey mind that eeteeborlibor. As if she’s the first person her baby will first delete in hospital. Trying to make a mountain, out of a morsel of eba. She sha wan use little publicity she has to pin something on someone.
A baby of less than 2 years has already started having that kind of illness, even upon her ‘wokeness’.
Make she accept God’s will and go on to get belle for another baby jor. More than a thousand of people don delete, today alone.
She should be grateful to God she’s alive and move on -- that’s if she believes God exists o.
Even for best hospital, with best technology, people still dey kpai.

Shiiiorr. Notice me.
Only God knows the kind of trauma you have gone through in your life that will make you not only think but go ahead to write this.
What is wrong with finding out the cause of death of her child? What is wrong with demanding medical records?
Is death not a big deal regardless of who it affects?

CyynthiaKiss:
Instead of Nigeria Government to stop the genocide against Christians , they went around creating propaganda just to change the the narrative about slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria..

Yesterday, they set up and bombed a mosque in Sokoto, all in a bid to create false impression that Muslims are also targeted..

Nigerian is evil, deceptive and malicious

Most times if you investigate well you'll discover that the woman is always at the bottom of the problem. Men don't just leave their kids if the woman was so nice and kind.
This has nothing to do with the woman.
How can a man punish his child because of his relationship with his wife? Does not make sense.
Do you leave a mansion you built just because the indigenes of the area are not nice and kind?

Nnamdipapa:
That is super duper cheap. Also, I love that you don't have to réfrigérate the eggs which means its really organic. Here, it gets spoilt without refrigeration at a certain temperature.
Which country are you in that your egg spoils without refrigeration.
In Canada you may or may not put them in the refrigerator and they wont spoil.

For those doubting.
The yorubas in osun worship her.
In igboland idemili and njaba are sisters
The Greeks call them sirens, Calypso,nymph.
In Britain,the lady of the lake of Avalon is a mermaid.
But in nairaland,we see half educated people trying to be more modern than modern.
Sirens are a different species from mermaids.
Like gorillas are different from humans

They are real.
However, they do not look like the photos OP shared.
There are physical entities and non- physical entities sharing the water space.
The same way we have humans and spirits on earths surface is the same way we have a humanoid species and spirits below earth's surface.

HealthRe: Pregnant Woman And Unborn Child Die After Hospital Allegedly Demands ₦500,000 by Shokoloko(f): 10:03pm On Apr 02, 2025
JuanDeDios:
Which war? Less than 15% of births involve complications globally - whatever the figures are, people's reference is people around them. Someone who isn't much educated who's always seen women around him give birth without an issue will grow up expecting that. Have you been to our villages where people give birth at home without ever having taken a pill?

Yeah, shop around. But what good would that have done them if they just can't find 500k or the money to RELOCATE near a general hospital (cheapest option) - since we're judging everyone by your standards?
Ask a woman - ask your wife if she thinks that delivery is not going to war, is not laying down her life.
Why do women call their churches and mosques and ask them to start praying for them as they go to deliver if the real expectation is that it should be that simple.
Only a woman will tell you the thoughts that run through her mind before delivery.
It might be low globally but do not lump it because the developed countries make the numbers look good.
In Nigeria it is a 50/50 chance. In developed countries the risk of dying in childbirth is 1:4900. In Nigeria it is 1:22.
Nigeria has the 3rd highest maternal mortality in Africa.
HealthRe: Pregnant Woman And Unborn Child Die After Hospital Allegedly Demands ₦500,000 by Shokoloko(f): 9:29pm On Apr 02, 2025
JuanDeDios:
He was just a regular guy who expected his wife's pregnancy to pass without a major event - like most pregnancies. Unfortunately, his fell among the minority. It's not the hospital's fault, but a working society should have system in place that ensures emergency cases like this are taken care of at public expense.
Only a foolish person will go to war without weapons.
How can one expect a pregnancy to pass without a major event. The likelihood of having a child vaginally/through CS is 50/50.
You have to plan the moment the lady becomes pregnant.
If that man had offered N300k out of N500k at least that the hospital would not have turned them away.
They could have started shopping around hospitals to know the cost for CS and taken the cheapest option.
I have kids - immediately my husband and I find out that I am pregnant we start putting funds together because anything can happen.
TravelRe: How Do I Get My Son Into A Catholic School In uk by Shokoloko(f): 3:34pm On Feb 23, 2025
Absolutely strange.
In Canada, catholic schools mean that the school policies are very slightly biased towards the catholic doctrine. It does not mean that only catholics are allowed. I can assure you that at least half of the teachers are atheist.

Whoever called you is a prankster. Principals should not call prospective parents. They should only call enrolled students. Report this in a pleasant, neutral way to the catholic school board in Calgary. They are the ones who provide admission not principals.

CelebritiesRe: 2face & Annie: 10 Strongest Nigerian Celebrity Marriages Still Thriving In 2025 by Shokoloko(f): 3:01pm On Jan 28, 2025
OboOlora:
Most of the marriages termed as thriving are the ones the husbands have been turned to GBEWUDANI and the wives are the ones calling the shots lol
Take for example Omotola's own, the man left his thriving pilot career to relocate to US to be shuttling between being a stay home dad and delivering parcels for Amazon all because the wife wanted to live abroad.
Peter and Lola, everyone knows Lola is domineering and dictatorial so of course, she runs the home.
Bisola and Timi Dakolo hmmm, go to Loughborough and ask men about what Bisola has been up to since she fought her husband to move to England while he stays back in Nigeria.
Celebrity marriage is 'the more you look, the less you see'
BTW, I dropped this comment based on facts I know...........

TravelRe: Young Nigerians Wasting Away On Canadian Streets After Relocation Dreams by Shokoloko(f): 6:16pm On Jan 20, 2025
This is hogwash.

The first young lady stated that she stopped focusing on school and focused on fashion business which failed. She was not prepared. One needs to be laser focused here. Also, she doesn't seem quite right.

The second boy I feel for. He had no mentor - if he had someone to advise him they would have told him that while your dad paid he first years school fees it is important to work and save whatever you can when things are good. My younger brother almost did the same thing, the family was paying for his schooling. he was working but lavishing his money because he felt the people at home had his back. Luckily God preserved everyone and he graduated.

Sometimes I look at him and I can only pray because he has graduated, still on PWGP and lavishes money.
HealthRe: Can A 2-Year-Old's Bow Legs Straighten Naturally Or Only With Surgery? by Shokoloko(f): 3:12pm On Jan 20, 2025
yinkaOdutuyo:
Hello parents and guardians and health practitioners in the house, I want to ask can a 2year old bow legs straight naturally or only with surgery.

because her parent cant stand the look of the bow legs, many people are recommending surgery, while some said it will correct on it's own between her 3years to 4years as she grows.


pls her parent needed your advices to know which actions to take.
It will straighten with lots of calcium and vitamins in the child's diet. I have personal experience of this.
Surgery is not needed at 2 years. years maybe, but not 2 years.

Just because he is no longer supporting your agulu failure. Reno was a good man when he was supporting Obi and against Tinubu but now that he is no longer with you guy, you suddenly remember that he has a date with the devil in hell. Go and ask many of your forefathers that have gone, they are having not just a day with the devil but years. God cannot be mocked
My brother, the way you call upon God with the right side if your mouth and insult people with hellish words with the other side is strange o.
I understand your anger but God does not work that way.
Before you say I favour I.P.ob - I do not. They are full of insults as well.
But if we call on God let our tongue be a bit decent, otherwise let us refrain from bringing God into our conversations.

For me, I am glad Peter Obi did not win because Nigeria deserves its leaders.
