Akakanfirstclass:Heart surrendered to the maker, always the surest way out of any addiction. |
Everything bulks down to peoples disenchantment with lackluster leadership. I don't support violence against leadership or anyone for that matter, but primarily leadership is about having the mandate of the majority to proffer first and immediate solution to their problem. This is the exact reason we have emergency unit at various health care centers, to scale between two inviting scenario and make solution possible to the one with lesser shelf life. You can't feel unconcern as the leader of a nation when your house is burning, your children are hungry and feel helpless; while you sleep off enjoying a full dose of luxury, it's a mind game and the result doesn't take too far to show itself in full gear. As a leader show justice, show leadership, show empathy, create pivotal balancing in your fulcrum, and even those who hate you will see reason to sheath their sword. An husband who love but don't show or talk it out will be adjudged as not having one, reason a man who ride on high horses and can't be tossed around have no business seeking leadership position. For as a leader you are a steward to the people and must be ready every now and then to give account of your stewardship. This is what the white man is doing and seems to be getting it right! Nnamdi Kanu having over stepped his boundary on many fronts leading to wanton loss of life from both sides of the divide, should bear his Judgment. But the fundamental issue of outright injustice or selective justice which is the bane of agitations from different spectrum of the society should be holistically addressed, else we can only but wait for a future metamorphosis of same scenario in a broader view. Right now It will be a colossal waste of time jubilating over his arrest If we are not ready to do the right thing that threw up people like him. |
saxha:Are you a mind reader? How do you hope to pin this your assertion on her in a law court if she denied it wasn't her intention to mock anybody's religion. In other word your submission is not admissible in a law court. |
trutharena:In law there is what is called circumstantial evidence, it is so called for a purpose. What she did is called guile, deceit (eye service) and that's hypocrisy. she's a christian and the constitution permits her to use the phrase ''so help me God'', so why the use of Allah. Can a Muslim use the word Jehovah or Yahweh during swearing in ceremony, like saying ''So help me Jehovah or Yahweh'' because they all mean the same word God? |
What a shameless thing to do to gain an inconsequential seat at the appellate court, while subverting your conscience for a piece of bread. A nervous woman like this with a little threat can rig election brazenly or subvert judgement. It's not for human to judge a fellow man's intent, but doing anything to get a position while throwing away your faith and belief is tantamount to being a bad ambassador. Proverbs 28:21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man(woman) will transgress(compromise). |
Tiny country so organised, you can almost weep for Nigeria. If It's here people backdating stamping and hotel receipt and undertaken any other form of illegality will be allowed to pass once they can drop some few hard notes. Benin Republic has a lot of potential in food supply and other things, reason the border should open for free movement of goods and trade benefits. Evidently if Benin Republic with around 11 million people can be doing fine, I don't know why people like Pa Obasanjo is saying the minority will be worse hit if we restructure Nigeria on regional basis; as if Togo, Gambia, Zambia, Niger, Uganda and these small countries have what we have to even if shrink the colossus making the center unattractive, this will allow for comparative exchange of human and material development in a very healthy competitive atmosphere between the regions. |
Patrioticman007:No true prophet of God ever married more than one wife in the bible in both the old and new testament, may be you are referring to prophet in some other religion though. If you have their name you can list them here. |
compton11:Abraham was never a polygamist. Hagar was an Egyptian servant or Maid to Sarah who was imposed on him for her personal benefit due to delay conception and was summarily dispatched or sent away at her will, with God's full approval. No real prophet of God in the old testament was a polygamist. Solomon was the polygamist king who did so against God's express command for anyone who would occupy that seat, and he paid for it direly. Deut 17:15-17 You shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall not return that way again.’ Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself. |
OLULAW:And you can't afford to do this to even one person in your vicinity from your business or monthly salary? |
Jetrue3oo:Who told you that, so fed govt doing it will be for what? If only all the other religion combine have been half way as beneficial to human course as Christianity , definitely the world and by extension Nigeria will be in a better position by now. Some of our foremost Nigeria leader of Northern extraction even attended Missionary schools. |
There are eye drops that also serve as ear drop, its around 700 or a little above that get one and use. It should work to clean up all the dirts and prevent later infection to the ear. |
Be careful how you treat him at this time no matter the offense that lead to his being demoted, cause he can get back sooner than you expected and it could become a problem for you if you treat him badly or further damage his self esteem. Try and get close to him, you can call him Broz after all he was your superior before now. Just let him know that life is not so predictable and can play a fast one on anyone at any point in time if we are not careful. Let him know it's another learning phase for him to get better when everything is over, and not an end to his career. After that tell him there are sweet aspect of your Departmental job you're sure he'll like to know, outline them and let him make his choice. Don't relate with him like a dept boss, just maintain a horizontal relationship. That way you'll help him understand life from a better perspective and probably get back rightfully on his foot again. If you do this he'll always remember you as a good person and can even pull you higher whenever he has the power to do so. |
SocialJustice:My brother sometimes what we suffer is lack of faith. Unfortunately we tie our mistakes and lack of spiritual understanding around God. God does not fail and can never lie or deny himself, all we need to do is to understand how he works and probably seek for counsel and support where necessary, to prevent the devil from taken advantage of our situation thereby planting the seed of bitterness in our heart against God. God doesn't just help those who trust him in time past, he does so even until now. Sometimes the door opens, God answered our prayers but we keep praying waiting for God to answer the same prayer he already answered, that alone can result into frustration, unbelieve and backsliding. This is what Jesus said, and I hope you can take God at face value from today by repenting of your unbelieve, prayers laced with vain repetitions and manifesting pity instead of faith. Matthew 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. |
Sometimes God gives the best of this life to those who have no hereafter. But it is always not so, there are many believers doing extremely well all over the world. The only problem is this, an unbeliever has little regard for ethics or fair play as far as success or succeeding is concern. He can do anything to get what he wants or succeed, it may sometimes not be to the extreme but it can always be that thing that's capable of putting a taint on his integrity or undermine his principles he careless. He can cheat in an exam, he can impersonate where possible, as a purchasing manager he can inflate cost to the detriment of the company he represents, as an account he can steal even by proxy, as a sales executive he can defraud both company and customer to his advantage, as a politician he can rig election in broad day light or kill his opponent to grab the position, as a lawyer he can lie against the truth to win a case and get the price, as a medical doctor he can abort to make more money, as a govt worker he can inflate contract and receive mouth watering kick back, as a student she can sleep her way to good grade or get involve in cultism to coward lecturers into subjection, they can co-habit on campus to get a suitor or fake pregnancy. All this a child of God cannot do both in personal life and business, so at some point the unbeliever may seems to tower above his counterpart, but God said it will be well with the righteous. Psalm 37:16 Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. |
Any girl you see with unusual piercings just note them, they're wild already and can never be trusted. We say this now and then but the worldly wise won't accept until its too late. |
You should be telling this to God or your pastor at this stage not bringing it to Nairaland for discussion and debate, as many here don't understand what you're really saying. The Holy spirit may be warning you against unequal your and that rightly so. Not about condemning anyone or any denomination but those few points of concern you raised are legitimate. Kindly go to God in prayers and ask him the way forward and the boldness to do his will. If God is the one telling you to quit the relationship and you refuse, oh, how much I pity you for lack of peace and the attendant trouble you may have to put up with after your wedding to him. Just obey the Leading of the Lord, if he's leading you against unequal yoke in marriage, please listen and save yourself from future suffering and regret. |
Human being no longer seems to sleep and wake up thinking there is a place called hell to be avoided, and an Almighty creator to be feared and obeyed. Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Psalm 2:1-5 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. |
I don't rate Chinese high or take them too seriously. They are restless souls always in a hurry to achieve things which are hardly ever able to withstand the test of time like you would find in America or Europe. Kudos to them anyway, at least it fits their type and foot their bills. |
Very big fat lie. So his 99% directly translate to 99 people, meaning there are 100 PDP leaders in Lagos and 99 of them are bribe taker while he alone is a replica of the incorruptible judge. But it is evident that people like Bode George can never collect a dime from Tinubu, meaning his blanket accusation is nothing but a baseles assumption by one who to me qualifies more as a mole and deserve the suspension handed to him by his party. |
Only the advent of Christ at the millenial reign will bring about the desired peace among the nations of the earth. Till then it shall be wars and rumors of war, earthquake,famine and pestilences in diverse places! |
laiperi:You are not so coherent, calm down and ask your questions intelligently or dish-out your tirades in a systematic order as you may deem it fit. If Christianity is a means to enslave or a way to slavery, what about scientists and researchers who are themselves Christians, are they also enslaved? You feel good eating apple from Israel or the western world, you are probably using one of their phones too. So how are you not also enslaved? Isn't it better to be zealously affected with what is good than to be affected by evil thing? Whatever is your spiritual persuasion or the form of belief you subscribe to, I'm sure somebody brought about those ideas and you embrace it, are you not also locally enslaved by accepting that. The English you type with, aren't they all imported items and you embrace it without questioning thereby making you a willing slave? You seems not to know that if categorizing everything from the western world as slavery, then you are also enslaved from your kindergarten to your university level. God is leading your soul to rest by introducing Christ to you, so embrace him and leave your old life behind. Stay blessed! |
Hizzy:Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. In essence it is not sufficient to be a christian, you must have a change of heart, life and attitude by coming to God though Jesus Christ. He alone has the power to make us live right as we should and make us worthy of heaven. If we desire and pursue heaven with the same zeal and seriousness with which we pursue earthly visa we shall make it at last. Finally, the only reason there are so many laws governing each country is because they are many, on the other hand heaven our desire country above is one, it is therefore logical to conclude that all rules, laws, acceptances, and declarations for those seeking to gain entrance to it must be consistent at all time, just as it is obtainable in all our embassies on earth. It therefore means that either of Jesus or Mohammed or Shinto, or Buddha or Druze or Hindu or Traditional worshipers or Idolater or Satanist is right and all others and their adherence are sincerely misled. But thank God, I believe you can easily deduce who among the people mentioned above, through their life and utterances is the true way to God. It is good to love your neighbor but that wont give you visa to America or make you pass your exams or interview, You must be born again to make heaven by repenting from your sins and accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and personal, then you are on your way to heaven. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. |
mjj2020:At what point were they the apple of God's eyes, definitely before they drifted. God is no respecter of any man. David had that testimony even before he was anointed as king, but at the latter part of his life God told him "the sword shall not depart from your house'' 2 Sam 12:10. Solomon was loved by God but the latter part of his life was in ruin, why? ''Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.'' Nehemiah 13:26 For Abraham though he am-mended his way by sending Hagar away as requested by his wife Sarah but the did has been done. Look at God's warning to Abraham after taken a long break from him that lasted for about 13years due to his immoral relationship with Hagar that led to the birth of Ishmael in Gen 17, '' And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect''. Moses was never a polygamist, he stuck with his Ethiopia wife despite a tacit disapproval from Mariam and Aaron which led to Mariam being visited with leprosy, so read your bible well. Gideon was a complete mess up at the latter part of his life, infact no one who seek to follow the way of God should desire such a life. His place in eternity is highly questionable for he did not only became a polygamy, he also went into idolatry. For Jacob hope you saw what happened to his household, the envy, jealousy, murderous tendency, evil conspiracy, prolonged and hidden lies, selfishness. The turbulence resulting from his life of unrest made Jacob's life miserable, look at his submission in ''Gen 47: 8 Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?” 9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.'' Notwithstanding, the coming of Christ has cancelled any form of permissible disobedience to God's law especially in the area of marriage, it is so serious that even the disciples concluded it was better not to marry as stated below. So many people are actually going to end up in hell because of marital issue, if they do not seek the face of God. You can't beat your wife or keep a side chick or run a parallel relationship with another woman, and the woman other hand cannot divorce her husband or remarry as long as the first partner is alive. No extramarital affair is allowed after marriage, even if the world is going berserk or against this command they all will be judged at the end of time. Matthew 19:10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.” |
Princedapace:There is one Devil, satan, lucifer in the world since time immemorial and all those who belong to the dark kingdom must choose his rule and wish and wisdom and desire and lifestyle and stick to them religiously; whether from Asia or America or Africa or Pacific or India or anywhere; only one devil and only one way to hell. In like manner there is no any other way to heaven aside Jesus Christ, he's the Way, the Truth and the Life. Anyone telling you there is any another way to get to heaven is only fantasizing with his shadows, don't be deceived. |
Shikena:Read this my brother, you'll see polygamy was God's permissive will to the old testament people, it was never his perfect will for man. As far as God was concern it was a total confusion, reason no single true prophet of God divorced or practice it all through the old testament, only those at the lower rung of spiritual ladder were permitted due to their hardness of heart; and with strong condition attached. More-also majority of old testament people jew or no jew were at the kindergarten level of spiritual understanding, but under the new testament we enjoy fullness of grace and relationship with God. Mark 10: 1-12 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. 2And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. |
Princedapace:Just name one person in the old testament who served God and went the way of polygamy without sorrow and regret at the end of the day? Not a single one, from David to Solomon to Jacob to Abraham, it was unmitigated sorrow for all of them. Jesus put an end to polygamy, or divorce in the new testament. So as a man look before you leap, and as a woman you can't remarry if you desert your marriage. |
laiperi:Genesis 2:24 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” This statement was made by God directly to Adam since the existing of man on earth, so which country or religious body existed before then or as at then? If none, then it's not a catholic made rule but that of God himself. |
alizma:God's authority supersede any religious fallacy and man-made laws. Polygamy or any form of absurd marital relationship or sexual orientation is forbidden by God. |
You disrespect a higher authority by keeping a side chick which he commanded you against. You'll be setting a bad precedent for your children later in life, while your value, dignity and self respect plummet to the barest minimum before friends and family. Lastly you'll spend your eternity in the lake of fire with your side chick if you refuse to let go and repent of your misadventure. All the above make you an ultimate looser in life and eternity! |
NwaAmaikpe:Probably with consciencous effort she would have turned out better than she is morally. This is why the Lord admonish parents to chastine (train) their children when there is hope. Btw,didn't the mum return back to the same house after her delivery? Morealso if she already had an elder brother and now herself a girl, what's the man still looking for? Anyway if what she painted is true of her father, and not just an avenue to justify her waywardness then every irresponsible father and mother will give account of themselves to God on that day. |
spot on. How we celebrate many supposed best Ritualist Dad on earth who'd shove other peoples father, mother, sister, brother's head to own a house in Asokoro or Banana Island. |
