Hello madam... I understand your point.

I ain't disputing the fact that they are some individuals or organizations that derive joy in giving.

Was just giving a general view about the whole donations made to the gOvernment.

Na my mind I talk...I no kill person

Lol,i quite understand.
Mocking or "yabbing" someone who has done charity in anyway, what does that spell?
Sometimes will definitely be stolen,but,some people who otherwise had no hope or chance will get the help they needed. Thats enough to be thankfuk for.
Sometimes before we criticise we should look at the bigger picture and see if, just if, there's good in it.

blowjohn:


That does not negate any. What we r saying is that 'nothing' should be given to the Government on behalf of the citizens.


Let me ask u...did they donate anything weda money or items to the government?
Yes.

Weda they gave additional things to people physically is not what we r attacking.
It's the one they said they donated to the government that we r attacking.
Go and read again!!!

I guess GTB should take back their isolation centre since nothing should be donated to government.
Open your eyes and "attack" with wisdom. The little palatives the government has been giving to folks where do you think it came from? Mars? Yes,our government has messed up in so many ways but that does not change the fact that the lagos state government is not trying to do what they can. If the catholic churcb gives to only their members,pray tell,who will feed all those who arent christians,too old and the sick. Instead of lashing out like a toodler what we should be calling for is transparency and dlligence in giving out those items to the people who genuinely need it

blowjohn:



Ur going off point. We sont want to know if they are the best in charity.
We are commenting based on the post.
Did the post say that they are the number 1 in charity?
NO!

Did the post say that they donated to government?

Yes!

Did the post say that aside the ones they gave to government, that they also donated items to the citizens?

Yes!

What we are saying is that EVEN THE ONES DONATED TO THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE GOVERNMENT!.


Nobody is here to argue if they are number 1 in world donation or number 2.

So you're saying that their own personal thing should not be given to government because of what nah?
Im telling you that they have alreadt taken care of their home and still taking care of it and that they are giving to government to aid those they might not be able to reach you're talking crap.
Remind me again what exactly your point is?
If you read the article properly like you were supposed to you wont be talking nonsense.

The people in government are they not nigerians?
You just make generalized statements because you dont like government,the little palliative they've been giving to folks where do you think it came from Jupiter?
The free medi care that government hospitals are giving during this pandemic where do you think it came from,your pockets?
The isolation centres that is being used to treat covid patients,were did it come from,?
Donations made by churches and individuals is what thr government is using to help the situation. Remove the hatred and bigotry for government and see the good thats been done isntead of always criticising,blindly at that.

PureGoldh:


My comment is a general reference not on this particular topic

Even at that,you're way off mark.
The catholic church in lagos does more charity than you can think of. Got to any government hospital,school,prison and ask those who work there you'd be surprised.
Now every parish has a society called ST Vincent De Paul and st Rita. They feed,clothe,pay hospital bills for the needy every week,without asking you any questions about your religion,what church you attend. EVERY WEEK.
Thats aside the private ones people embark on.
The catholic church in all its wisdom also takes its civil responsibilities very seriously.We always do our duty by assisting the Government were necessary. Because its a donation to the government its made public but I can assure you that charity is going on this very moment by the Catholic Church.

btoks:


Not sure you if you read the whole article but I pulled this from it "The Archbishop later revealed that the support offered to Lagos State Government was in addition to the provisions for the poor that he directed the over 180 parishes of the Archdiocese to make in their different localities spread all over the State".

The Catholic church is the biggest provider of charity outside of actual governments globally.

Finally,someone who read the article. ....
Folks be so quick to condemn things they know nothing about.

blowjohn:
Is it that these people just wicked or what. Why to the government,

Please go.and read the article again,slowly this time

PureGoldh:
I don't like the idea of dz people donating to the gOvernment...For crying out loud...the people ain't spirits.Why not call the people together and share the items to them directly.

We gather dey...well,Raw Original Honey is readily available for you.. Contact 081 0166 6771 let's talk about it now..No hug or handshake dx period fam

Please read the whole article oooooo
Properly this time and see where parishes were mandated to help the needy amongst them and those parishes who couldn't were supported by the Chancery from the ten million naira that was donated by Catholics in lagos to help.

Luizkid:
No problem giving to the Government to support the fight but the Parishioners are right, Charity ought to have begun from home.

Did you read the article properly at all?
Did you see where 78 parishes who couldn't give pallatives to their parishioners were given money from the Chancery donated by Catholics in lagos to help the needy.
Every single parish in the Archdiocese of lagos was instructed to give out pallatives to members who need it..

TO ALL PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS WORKING IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF LAGOS, AND
THE LAY FAITHFUL
Dear Msgri. /Frs., Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
SUSPENSION OF PUBLIC MASS IN THE ARCHDIOCESE
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, with a heavy heart I have to address another circular
within two days to you regarding the COVID-19 and the situation in Lagos State. Yesterday,
we had been able to ascertain that the restriction of people to gather together for worship
was for not more than fifty. We have heard today that the number has been reviewed
downwards to not more than twenty by government. This has made our arrangement to see
how we could manage to still get Mass for as many as possible now literally impracticable.
With deep regrets we are constrained to direct that Mass with the faithful in attendance
is to be suspended for the next four weeks. Mass is not suspended as priests will
continue to offer Mass for the people and the whole world, what has been suspended is
Mass with the faithful in attendance.
We urge the faithful to view this situation in the light of the fact that we are fighting a war,
a war with an invisible deadly enemy with weapons that are very dangerous to human life. We
know that God is able to deal with it for us just as he fought for the People of Israel. That is
why we had thought we could still gather as a Community of Faith within the ambit of the
government directives, to pray to God pleading the Blood of Christ as we celebrate Mass.
Meanwhile we urge you to spend the Sunday as a holy day. You may make an altar with a
crucifix and possibly candle light, if you do not have one already, read the Readings for the
day, share the word of God with one another, pray the Rosary and the “Prayer for an End to
the Coronavirus Pandemic”. Do take time to tune to Lumen Christi Television Network on
DSTV Channel 350 and EWTN, DSTV Channel 348 so that you may follow the Mass and them
make an Act of Spiritual Communion which is as follows:

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot receive You sacramentally now,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
We shall continue to monitor the situation and discern what we must do in order to support
ourselves as we face this present challenge that has been foisted on us. We should take this
as a sacrifice that we must make and ask God to accept it as our prayers for his intervention.
In the days to come, we shall reflect more on the situation and discern what more we must
do.
We urge Parish Priests to endeavor to pass on this new development to their parishioners
with the assurance that we shall continue to find ways and means of ensuring that their faith
continues to be nourished and that we support ourselves in dealing with this present challenge
Be glad in hope, constant in tribulation, persevering in prayer. (Romans 12:12).

That message isn't clear!

After taking of elderly, sick, pregnant, etc,... can't d number still be above 50??

Masses would be had from Saturday till Sunday in groups of 50 and social distancing practiced.
If the parish is large,screens and projectors should be placed around the church,eg parish halls,around the compound etc so that at any given moment there are not more than 50 in a group.

TO ALL PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS WORKING IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF LAGOS, AND
THE LAY FAITHFUL
Dear Msgri. /Frs., Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
ON CURTAILING THE SPREAD OF COVID-19
Greetings from the Chancery. God bless you all.
You would recall that we issued a Special Circular on March 15, 2020, in which we gave
further directives on the proactive ecclesiastical steps we needed to take as an Archdiocese
to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We emphasized that these are critical times
and as such critical measures needed to be taken. We also mentioned that we shall continue
to monitor the situation in order to make adjustments as required.
The Corona Virus pandemic has continued to ravage the world and the number of people
infected has increased at an alarming rate within one week in our country Nigeria. This has
made the Government of Lagos State to put a limit on the number of people that can gather
together in public at 50.
As a Church, we are concerned about Public health and welfare as well as the protection of
our faith and practices at the same time. We have been rather appalled at the level of
preparedness to confront the pandemic in our Public health facilities given the experiences
related by some of those who have had the need to contact the facilities or have had to use
them.
We worry that the areas that need to be addressed such as the land borders, (through which
an infected person was reported to have already arrived in the country), are still largely
unattended with regard to the coronavirus spread; the public transportation system and
other public gatherings that could be sources of the spread of the virus are still very much unregulated. These make us fear that the measures we are to take with regards to public
gathering to worship may be undermined by these other factors.
However, we have a responsibility to cooperate with government with regard to welfare of
citizens while also taking cognizance of the sacredness of our faith and practices. For this
reason, we are constrained to make some adjustments that would alter some aspects of our
lives as a faith community.
Given our duty to help protect public health in cooperation with the State Government as
well as protect the values of our faith, we hereby make the following pronouncements:

A. In line with the authority that devolves to the Local Ordinary at critical
times such as this, we hereby pronounce that the elderly (65 years and above),
pregnant women, nursing mothers and children below 18 years and those with
serious health conditions who are more susceptible to infection by the virus are
hereby relieved of their obligation to attend Mass even on Holy Days of
Obligation and Sundays for the period of the next four weeks with immediate
effect.
B. At this critical time, those among the faithful who consider that their health is
jeopardized by attending Public gatherings, including Masses are also relieved of
the obligation to attend Mass even on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation for
the period of four weeks with immediate effect.
C. We actively encourage all the faithful to take advantage of following the Mass to
be streamed live and on the Lumen Christi Television Network during the period
of this emergency. We can make a Spiritual Communion at the appropriate time
during the Mass. It is a part of our spiritual heritage that when circumstances
such as the present one happens and we are not able to go to Mass, we can make a
Spiritual Communion. Our faith teaches us that the Spiritual Communion is as
effective as when we physically receive the sacred species, the Body and Blood of
Christ. This is necessary so as to ensure that Sunday Masses are not crowded
beyond the number
D. Celebration of Masses: Public Masses on Sundays would be with not more than
50 persons.
- Parishes should consider making use of other available spaces within the
Church premises such as Parish Halls to increase the number of Masses to be celebrated on Sundays.
Parishes should also use the Small Christian Communities as venues for
Masses.
-Parishes can also make use of projector screens to transmit Mass to
other locations around the Church.
- At this time, Saturday evening Mass in lieu of obligation for Sunday
should be used more.
-It is important to emphasize the need for maintaining the required
social distance and spacing especially when attending Mass.
-We shall review this present directive with regards to Public Mass
in due course as we continue the process of discernment.

E. Other Sacraments:

-At this time, Penitential Service with General Absolution is permitted,
taking care not to have more people than the recommended number and
with the appropriate social distance.
-Visit of the sick for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick should be
done ONLY when ABSOLUTELY necessary and should be done with
extreme caution even if it means using cotton wool for the anointing and
wearing facial masks.
-Funerals should be celebrated only if absolutely unavoidable and should
be with no more than 50 people in attendance.

F. Meetings of Societies: Associations of the lay faithful can have their meetings as
long as they are not more than 50 people in attendance.

G. Devotions: Parishioners are encouraged to have the Stations of the Cross as
private devotions. Blessing of religious articles and persons must be without
touching.

H. Holy Week Ceremonies:

-Palm Sunday: Public procession with Palm fronds is suspended. The Rite
of blessing palms in the Church is to be used.
-Chrism Mass: The Chrism Masses would be only for Priests and those
appointed. It would be celebrated observing the required Social
distance in the big Churches that we use for the two Masses. Priests
should make arrangements to collect the Sacred Oils from the Chancery at their convenience.
Mass of the Lord’s Supper: Parish Priests should choose those who will
be in attendance from among the different groups and Associations in
accordance with the size of their Church buildings. There should be no
washing of feet.
-Good Friday: Veneration of the Holy Cross on Good Friday should also
be by choosing those to be in attendance according to the size of the
Churches ensuring that the Social distance required is maintained.
Adoration of the cross would be by simple genuflection.
-Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday: Celebration should be limited to
those previously chosen according to the same conditions as on Holy
Thursday and Good Friday.
-Easter Monday: Parish Galilee Day Celebration is hereby suspended.

I. Live Streaming: Kindly note that efforts are being made that the activities of
Holy Week would be streamed live from the Cathedral and would also be broadcast
on Lumen Christi Television Network.

J. Churches: Our Churches remain open and are available for private prayers. We
know that the importance of prayers cannot be overemphasized especially now. We
need God’s intervention at this critical time more than ever before.
-The checking of temperature is mandatory in all parishes.
-Where possible running taps with soap should be provided around the
church premises or at the very least hand sanitizers. He faithful should
be encouraged to take their hand sanitizers with them all the time.
-Parishes should enlist the help of medical and health workers to assist
in creating awareness and sensitizing the faithful. We encourage our
parishioners to avoid close contact with people who show symptoms of
the virus.
-Parishioners who feel unwell are strongly encouraged to seek medical
assistance.
Knowing full well that the salvation of souls is the supreme law, we enjoin priests to apply
pastoral discretion in carrying out the above directives.
Finally, my dear brothers and sisters, we want everyone to understand that these are
extreme circumstances with safety of life and public health at stake. We expect all Catholics
to comply with these directives. We strongly encourage all our people to intensify their
prayers, both as individuals or families that the Lord will deliver us from this evil and bring an end to this Pandemic, bring healing to those affected and repose to the souls of those who
have died. Be glad in hope, constant in tribulation, persevering in prayer. (Romans 12:12).

you cant sleep with another mans legally married wife without legal consequences

ADULTERY is NOT a crime.
There is NO LEGAL CONSEQUENCE for adultery.
That you may file for divorce on claims of adultery during a divorce doesn't make it a crime. That's a moral issue left to your conscience.
The folks who beat him up are the criminals?they have committed assault and battery.

ednut1:
Shygirl1989 come see. Shebi u accused me of lying about ikoyi prisons. No be person enter this one so

Reading to comprehend and not just to answer because you feel you want to win an argument is profitable and key to been percieved as an intelligent person.

1.is this ikoyi Prison?

2. This picture is "unconfirmed" it is not verified. It could be from anywhere,maybe not even Nigeria.

3. You specifically gave wrong information about what you saw at ikoyi prison.you cannot see the cells from the courtyard.only inmates and warders can go into the cell.

Please before tagging me,make sure whatever it is you're tagging me on is correct and correlates with whatever discussion we were having.
Have a lovely Sunday.

Ebenezar2020:
same here dear.
how about a pm?

Ok

Ebenezar2020:
hi dear why are you shy even at 31 years of age

I dunno o..........just shy like that.

lexy2014:


I don't believe that banks take their staff to prisons as part of their training. I have never heard such happen and even u can't confidently confirm that banks actually do such

Well,I heard too....I heard from a banker. I wouldn't know if it's true or not that's why I restrained from naming the bank. But I saw an article of a bank in China taking their staff to a Chinese prison .......I guses it's for the same reason,to curb theft and fraud from their staff

ednut1:
u clearly are stupid. I would stop responding to u. I was not the only one from nairaland that went there. I can go tag them. The nicon base is a small place. Its not hard to see bunks through the open doors. Or the room where they watch tv whose doors were also opened. Abeg get sense

Resulting to insults now,are we?
Grow up and own up to your mistakes.
You LIED.
It's only liars who result to insults when they are called out,prover your point and move on.
And stop telling Lies!!!!

ednut1:
where did i say i entered the cell So from the court yard cant u see the room Smh for u. They had bunks in that vip side. We stood opposite the tv room . Why i go enter wen i no be thief abeg o

From the courtyard you SAW into Nicon base....
Ha!!!so you now have telescopic eyes to see through buildings and see what's behind it and even see inside....I doff my hat to you......seeer of the century!!!I hail oo.
Hunkle you can lie o

lexy2014:


"It is routine for many banks to take their staff there during d course of their training...". Which banks in particular do this?

In all honesty I really can't mention a specific bank because I'm not totally sure, but from going to visit prisoners and feed them,while chatting with the warders and the security guys there with whom i'm friendly with,I've been told that some banks routinely bring their trainees there during the course of their training.
To be cautious I will not name a specific bank o just in case I'm wrong��

ednut1:
we entered both the poor and rich man own. We were told obj and some bank chiefs( it was around the time of afribank, oceanic intercontinental were bursted). Asians and rich looking nigerians full there.

Oga you did not enter the cells.
Stop telling lies.
You entered the courtyard,probably the field and reached the clinic, No CP allows anyone to enter the cells, highest they will point it out to you,you DID not enter the cells,talk less of getting to Nicon base,the money the VIP's pay them,they won't allow you to gawk at them like an exhibition. The VIP"s rarely even come out sef,it's only if an inmate who knows them or a warder tells you before you know who is resident in Nicon base.

Even prominent Nigerians that have visited the prisons didn't have access to go there its now stanbic 2014 set that will move freely inside the prison.....

Ogbeni, just say you visited ikoyi prisons, full stop. Stop adding Maggi and curry to the story. You've forgotten that people work there.....

ednut1:
awaiting trial nko. At least more than 4 nairalanders were there when the warder said it. The vip prison looked like nysc camp. They had television. Or u wan tell me i no go there

So you're telling me the prison warders allowed you get to Nicon base?
He lied jor.
We have a useless system in Nigeria,but they will not allow a hardened criminal who has killed people into a medium facility where the inmates are allowed to move around freely to be with white collar convicts,petty thieves etc....it's a security risk for them. They will be remanded in Kirikiri where they are in cells 24hrs a day till their trial.

He said that to frighten you guys.
It's routine for many banks to take their staff there during the course of their training to show them what fate awaits them if they steal or commit fraud.

ednut1:
When i visited ikoyi prisons in 2014 as part of a bank job induction. Out of the over 1000 inmates there we were told over 200 were wife killers.

Na wa for you o.....
I've been doing prison ministry for a long while now, there are no mudrers there,Ikoyi prison is a MEDIUM facility, for petty crimes,fraud etc.
Those convicted of murder etc are sent to a maximum prison,the only maximum prison in lagos is at Kirikiri.

This is a sensitive topic. As a Christian, my personal opinion remains that it is very wrong for a male believer to be a gynecologist

1) Examining the breast of a woman that is not your wife as a heterosexual male is wrong
2) Examining the private parts of a female that isn't your wife is totally wrong
3) Some male doctors develop feelings for their patients and vice versa
4) Our sight is a gateway to temptation
5) If a woman examines the private parts of a male patient how will he feel, assuming he has a wife, how will she feel?

I can go on but let me stop here, it is wrong and no religion supports it.

There is no mention in the Bible of male doctors assisting women during birth, rather there was mention of midwives assisting Hebrew women to give birth. A male should not be viewing and handling the private parts of another person's wife or daughter under the pretense of medical profession.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it " Matt 7:13

I'm sorry o, but I find these points extremely foolish,especially for an Educated adult.
So you think Gynaecology is all about handling breasts and vaginas?
Which part of medicine will a male doctor not have access to seeing a naked woman? What do you think happens when surgeries of various kinds are performed?
It's only a PERVERT that will think in this manner. You think that a male Gynaecologist,after seeing tens of women in a single day will be ogling all his patients?
A sick woman comes to you as a doctor and all that's on your mind is handling her, have you seen a woman with breast cancer? Ovarian cancer? STDs? You think it's a pleasant thing to look at? You're a sick person if you think this way.
If we follow your atrocious suggestions then we wouldn't have any doctors at all because they will all be sexually crazed been in the presence of members of the opposite sex.

Please next time don't bring the Holy Bible into your petty baseless points that hold no water.

Nonsense.

Kenturkey048:
So even the doctors are uneducated ryt?? Why do we prove to know everything..he has met three different doctors and you believe all has failed to give him this same explanations....??

I'm actually concerned about the caliber of "doctors he met"
Morning after pills are not ABORTANTS, it won't cause water and blood to come out.
I'm speaking as a woman,if you are six weeks pregnant, its,very simple ,you had sex at least four weeks before,and your last period was two weeks before that.
PREGNANCIES ARE CALCULATED FROM YOUR LAST PERIOD.
IF A,DOCTOR TOLD HIM OTHERWISE THEN THE DOCTOR IS QUACK OR THE POSTER CLEARLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS TOLD.

The only way he can prove the pregnancy isn't his is by DNA and not by this juvenile calculations he is doing aided by social media comments

Sweetchilli:
Brother, pregnancy is not calculated from the date of conception(the date you had sex). It is calculated with the date of her Last Menstrual Period. Ovulation is usually 2 weeks after the period. Add that to the 4 weeks that you had sex with her and you get 6 weeks. Why do you think pregnancy is usually 40weeks in women? It starts to count from the day of the last Menstrual period. Don't let men who don't know what pregnancy is confuse you.

This is for the uneducated men mentioning me and saying rubbish. You at least have access to the internet, why can't you just Google it instead of making uninformed statements and disgracing your ancestors

Finally, someone that went to school.
Its sad that over hundred comments and none of them know that pregnancy is calculated from the date of your last period not the day you had sex.
Morning after pills are not abortants,its possible that the blood that came out after taking the pills was as a result of implantation. Lots of women bleed during implantation.

Except the girl had sex with two men within her fertile period,the poster is most likely the father of the child. A DNA would prove that.

jesusjnr:
No he's not!

He never said that there was bikini contest in the miss CYON, but found issues with the fact the MGBN 2019 was being used promote miss CYON. And mind you the Op is also Catholic, so he's just expressing his concerns about this development.

And I share his views that such a beauty contest is not supposed be heard of taking place in the church in the first place.

For your information, i am not against someone participating in a beauty contest, for as long as the process doesn't lead to someone compromising his or her godly values, I'm fine with it.

But what I have issues with is a church organising a beauty contests or other similar competitions that takes place in the church as those I outlined, because they are worldly and not godly in nature.

That's just my opinion though and if that's me being sanctimonious to you, that's yours.

God bless.

If the person who posted it was Catholic then he would know the reason why "MBGN" was used.
Secondly, what exactly is "wordly" about a beauty pageant? Let's not talk just for talking sake or because some religious folk tell us it's not "wordly".
Do you know the format and manner in which the pageant takes place in the Church?
Let's not be more Christian than those in the Bible by criticising everything just because we want to show we are outraged at someone else's "unchristianity".
Have a lovely week.

TYglobal:
it would have been ok if they didn't have to strip.

First of all the person who posted this story is very misleading. The ladies in bikini are contestants of MBGN 2019 not contestants for miss CYON.

2. Bible Knowledge
3. CYON Knowledge.
4. Decent Dress sense and ladylike mannerisms.


Participating in a beauty contest is not a sin,a lot of beauty Queens globally have used their offices to effect change in different ways. Let's not be sanctimonious and criticize everything just because we don't agree with it.

Arthurhills:
The Lord said in His word my house shall be a house of prayers but this in a church is wrong very bad.most churches of today have turned to entertainment industry where anything is allowed.
Imagine beauty pageant in the church? Beauty of the flesh which is perishable but what about the beauty of the soul which is eternal that ought to be the priority of the church.
Anyways the building is not the church we are the church then ask yourself are you a living church or a dead church?
Which are you?

Must the church copy everything of the world?

I don't even think competition amongst church folks is right.

Except it be in love for God, humility, obedience, patience, perseverance, compassion, kindness, selflessness, etc. even in things that are spiritually inclined.

But then if it is about the most riches, the biggest church building, the highest attendance, the most cars, the best dressed, the most private jets, etc., which are the things that his world, that one is a no-no for me.
