And all u can do is put tiles and buy grinding machine
What do I even know.
Na ogi business
U know it more

Businesses that span through generation start in a very little way. They learnt practical lessons on survival techniques, unlike people who invest heavily because they have some idle fund somewhere, at the sight of challenges the business quickly collapse. Give him five more years, and all things been equal, you'll be surprise how far the business has gone. Quest for immediate wealth is why many can't wait to give their business a good footing, they are so much in a haste to start reaping excessively and live a fake life at the expense of growing their business.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Reason there'll be no excuse for prostitution, armed robbery, ritual killing and contract inflation on the other side, as there is always something legitimate to do to earn a decent living.

Young man don't bother looking for a white or blue collar job in the nearest future for God has already shown you your path to prosperity. continue to grow at your own pace, don't substitute or sacrifice quality on the alter of excess profit making. Create a standard and be innovative about it, experiment with varieties and produce more of the recipe that get peoples attention, add some clean packaging that can attract all classes of people. In no time you'll start employing graduates in their numbers. Finally be prayerful as many buyers will switch allegiance to you, you know what that connotes in the context of our environment.

I Think this man has a good heart like Ambode and talk less, may be reason Oshiomole thinks he can get him out of the way easily. People with good heart seldom have it smooth in Nigeria political clime. The greedy godfathers will want us believe it's for our good they are trying to get a performing governor out of the way, as if they care about the masses in the first instance. I think it's high time we vote people who are less attached into position of authority no matter their party, it seems there is high chances of performance than those with retinue of godfathers to feed.

God exposed her for who she is and allow you to be there at the right time and also brought her out at the very moment of your exit so you can warn your friend and save him from a hypocrite and whorish woman. If you refuse to tell him and something nasty happen to him after the wedding you'll find it hard to forgive yourself.

Eph 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].

Righteousness exalts, sin brings reproach. No matter how powerful or fierce looking a man may be, once you go into this kind of sin even people who would not dare touch you from a long distance will slap and ridicule you to your face, while you stand gazing around like a toddler. If adultery can be adjudged a heinous crime with shameful repercussions here on earth, no one involved in any form of sexual perversion will be guiltless in eternity.

The truth is that, his wife doesn’t like what they are doing,
Imagine cooking for twenty to twenty five members, buy water, buy drinks.
For church meeting,
What is the economical value to the family involved
? It’s minus .

she is aware her husband doesn’t have enough money at the moment, she is saying no to save that income.

Apart from the prayers they receive FROM THE CHURCH, what economical value have they added to their family?

But I know she doesn’t want to say it, so that she won’t be termed unbeliever.

Besides it’s only soup which is very easy to do.

Bla bla bla, once you guys can put words together and make proper sentence you count that for wisdom and start denigrating or insulting the church at every giving opportunity. Do you know what part they've played in his life. Do you know where he is coming from. The church has given hope to so many people already, many with bleak future headed for an unknown destination have been recovered. Many would never have got married or get into the prestigious circle they find themselves today if not through the church they attended, and you're there talking about economic value of the church as if you know you'll be where you are today 20 years ago. Just tread softly and don't allow the trend of time destroy the image of God in you.

SocialJustice:
Crase husband, you want your wife to be cooking for your useless religious cult members frequently because she agreed to marry you.

Carry your evil load and get out of this place.

And you could be doing worse for your townsmen. Hypocrite you are, he needs your advice don't infect him with your Antichrist spirit!

GuyWise101:
My guy stop decieving yourself, no destruction is coming in a whole....


Destruction is individually which means if you die that's your own destruction.

How can death equate destruction? If that is so then all men both righteous and wicked who died are destroyed already or in for destruction. This is very illogical and antithetical to sound and general reasoning.

Some sacrifices are paid not for the present but to preserve your posterity from unnecessary bitterness and bickering. Decisions taken out of anger and emotions hardly produce any positive result. How will it sound to the ears when his first child seek enrolment Into a KG class, and the head teacher ask the child what's your name? He answers, my name is William Ruth! What?! Which is your first and last name? My last name is Ruth. They'll know there is a problem in that family. Lets not be selfish or too quick to take decisions that can place a permanent mark of abitrariness on our generation. Even if you don't care, reasonable people in that lineage will care to ask and know why?

Ekaka1:
Which god do you represent? Why are such a rabid judgemental creature pooing about on every thread. Don't you have anything else to do other than type all these filthy self-righteousness things on every thread!!!...

This is the greatest work anyone on earth can do, if he does it faithfully he'll be a king in eternity. You think working in chevron is the definition of busyness don't ever make that mistake again, in eternity you'll even be ashamed of saying this to someone speaking for or about God to others.

We ignored ECOWAS protocol and trade agreement only to unilaterally shut our border without due consultation. Even if such act smelt good at the beginning it's bound to throw up some salient challenges, it is not for nothing that the world is now refer to as a global village. Inability to man or maintain our border is squarely our own internal problem and not that of our neighboring brothers. A porous border means the people who are charged or saddled with such responsibility have failed in their task.

So after earning N-Power money for about 40 months doing next to nothing for a program that was originally billed to last for 24 months, he still can't save and move to the next level with the proceed. Most of Nigeria graduate have little or no market worth, reason they can't stand tall after graduation.

anonimi:
Nice to see you being rationale and morale without bringing oyinbo religion inside.
Stay blessed

You are rejoicing he didn't mention Jesus or God, if that's it then you're treading on a wrong pathway.

The border closure has achieved no purpose as it were, I was against the closure ab initio. The multiplier effect will be such that since we are unable to attain self sufficiency in food production we'll be at the mercy of the forces of supply. Let the border be open but with stringent regulatory measure that will only allow importation of items for which we are comparatively at disadvantage. Let the govt not fear a backlash, since only God is omniscient. They can start with a commodity at a time.

WoundedLamb:
Wow! These are the most profound words of self consolation I've read in a long while!

Not really, just read below. That was from a man who enjoy some level of comfort as the most powerful king on earth during his time.

Psalm 73:1-22

1 Certainly God is good to Israel,
and to those whose motives are pure.

2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;
my feet almost slid out from under me.

3 For I envied those who are proud,
as I observed the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For they suffer no pain;
their bodies are strong and well fed.

5 They are immune to the trouble common to men;
they do not suffer as other men do.

6 Arrogance is their necklace,
and violence covers them like clothing.

7 Their prosperity causes them to do wrong;
their thoughts are sinful.

8 They mock and say evil things;
they proudly threaten violence.

9 They speak as if they rule in heaven,
and lay claim to the earth.

10 Therefore they have more than enough food to eat,
and even suck up the water of the sea.

11 They say, “How does God know what we do?
Is the Most High aware of what goes on?”

12 Take a good look. This is what the wicked are like,
those who always have it so easy and get richer and richer.

13 I concluded, “Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure
and maintained a pure lifestyle.

14 I suffer all day long,
and am punished every morning.”

15 If I had publicized these thoughts,
I would have betrayed your people.

16 When I tried to make sense of this,
it was troubling to me.

17 Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple,
and understood the destiny of the wicked.

18 Surely you put them in slippery places;
you bring them down to ruin.

19 How desolate they become in a mere moment.
Terrifying judgments make their demise complete.

20 They are like a dream after one wakes up.
O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

21 Yes, my spirit was bitter,
and my insides felt sharp pain.

22 I was ignorant and lacked insight;

God gives more of the things of this life to those who have no hereafter.

EVILFOREST:
Most of them are USELESS...
The MOMENT you are RICH, Nigerian Pastors become automatically GULLIBLE. They NOSEDIVE at your decisions.
The CULPRITS of NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS are...
1. The PASTORS.
2. The POLITICIANS.
3. The PEOPLE of NIGERIA.
Please, ask me why I didn't add the IMAMS and the NATIVE DOCTORS...?

For almost 15 years now, I have deserted anything that has to do with the NIGERIAN CHURCH.
In fact, I never felt I was losing morals with each Sunday that passed in Nigeria without going to church back then.
At some point my Mother stopped disturbing me about it since my Life was even getting better than everyone else around me.

GOD is not a MAN...,that's why so many STUPID PRAYERS coming from Nigeria are not answered.
In Nigeria, you see a GUY who can't afford pairs of shoes or steady house rent praying for Private Jet.
U find a LADY who lives in a SQUALOR, praying for the Latest IPhone.
Those days Churches taught Morals.
Now we teach them Morals.

.....The LEADERS of any COUNTRY are always the product of that country.
What NIGERIA is today, is by the making of those residing in Nigeria and not outsiders.
U can't plant PEPPER and be expecting MANGO.
GOD Is not even aware of these Useless churches in Nigeria, in fact it irritates God.

You had a point there but your generalization is simply unreasonable. My question is this, since you know so much of what has gone wrong, what are you doing personally to change the narrative from what we are seeing to what it ought to be, so that there can be hope for the generation coming behind. If you chicken out and throw stone from without while doing nothing differently, the purpose would have been defeated as It is very easy to criticize or antagonize?

Truly speaking, religion is the greatest force on earth. Even the Anti-Christ will be weak until he forms alliance with the apostate religious body that will exist at that time. It goes to show that the weakest form of religion whether adulterated or heretical is greater than the force of politics, science and everything combine, because of it's spiritual dimension. Now come to think of a true religion propagated by Christ, predicated on truth and holy living, which also guarantees freedom from sin and hope of eternal life. This will be the most powerful force to be witnessed by the world eventually, it will destroy the force of politics and science and dominate the earth forever.

Where are the New Nigeria Bar Association member, hope they'll protest this one too. If we don't give up sectarian politics in pursuit of National Unity, we may never experience any meaningful progress as a nation.

Bantino:
Whichever you like, you believe, but God is great

You need to know the one that emphasize absolute truth and reveal clearly what the future holds for you after death. Remember in matters of eternity there are only two destination as there are only two forces of good and evil that exist since time immemorial and both controls man choices and the outcome of this diversity determines our eternal fate. Since all religion have a set of creeds and tenets as diverse as the rainbow colour, they all can't be right or heading towards the same destination. In a nutshell any service to God that allows you to continue in secret or open sin can't lead you back to him, and any God that cannot deliver you completely from all sin is not a true God. That's how to test the spirit behind any religion since God is a holy God and won't hobnob or accept sin from his adherents.

God doesn't need to prove anything to us, he is a faithful God who cannot lie. Many doubters will call this a farce, they'll rather believe a dinosaur image created on a 3D than any evidence to prove the veracity of Gods word.

Offpoint:
It always baffles me how human think God will take them to heaven to live with him.
If God needed humans in heaven He would had created them there like He did the Angels.

What's the need of humans in heaven? What will they be doing that the Angels aren't doing?

God Made earth purposely humans, that's why He created them in heaven.

There are things the op rubbish to write them the way they are in Bible... He talked about computer code, did bible mention computer code?

He said an object will fall into the see.. He refused to use the word STAR...

Relationship is more of figurative than literal

Aren't there times you made decisions for the good of your family that look stupid to them? Same way God knows what is best for us, you didn't create yourself in the first place it then means you cant sustain yourself. Jesus said he will take his people to heaven john 14, What's that to you? He put us here in the first place but when sin entered decides a temporal change. In your workplace when management decides a change in policy do you mock or protest? Buhari has been been making some changes over time, people only rant have they been able to alter any of those decisions? So why not put your ego aside and submit to the one who know all things before its too late. Its for your own good because without Jesus no one can end well in life.

@ jigaz, thanks for this detail and timely write-up, may the Lord increase you on all sides.For the jesters and drunkards who will not be admonished leave them alone. God is the owner of heaven and earth and all ungrateful and false occupiers of it will be chased one day,. A tenant no matter how long stayed in a rented apartment must vacate it one day. All who make jest of Christ and Gods word will have their part with the devil and his host in the lake of fire, for all eternity. If you are unholy keep at it, if you are filthy continue, if you are holy and righteous don't back pedal continue, Christ is coming back soon. Jesus no longer beg rebellious sinners to repent, if you do so its for your own good, if you perish God and Christ have nothing to lose. But thank God no one will claim ignorance in eternity, you all heard it on Nairaland.

Why does every punishment for wrong doing in the North have to revolve around death sentence, this is ridiculous! If you are not killed, you risk amputation or merciless flogging. Life isn't as complex as we made it look, our refusal to abide by or pay attention to the instruction of the one who created all things out of nothing, is the bane of downward journey into confusion, chaos, unrest, and finally Hell.

Even Mike Pence was dis-invited amid kenosha unrest for no fault of his without a solidarity protest.This solidarity by our so called learned but unexposed fellow is unwholesome and shallow thought, It means they are devoid of exposure as to how things are done in a more civilize society. A man was dis-invited as a result of uproar from certain quarters due to his bigotry and visible mishandling of grave security issues in his own state leading to eye popping mass death and some so called ''Northern learned fellow'' are queuing up behind such a character. A man who care-less about precious lives lost on frequent basis, just because they differ in his shared philosophy is not worth to be a leader. Sometime life has a way of paying people back in their own coin, what if any of this lawyer or their close relative is a victim of this sectarian genocide going on in southern kaduna, would they have staged this ignoble solidarity protest. Soon their eyes will be open to see the negative effect of their ego driven decision that can neither see the light of day nor withstand the test of time.

On this nothing will be done, just like the NDDC saga it will be carpeted as usual. But if the concern is with their latest linchpin the Church, they'll flap their wings with readiness to devour, we leave leprosy to pursue ringworm.

eni4real:
Because all Pastors preach the same thing about being called BLACK??

Don't mind him, as if his traditional system of believe that not only enslave the mind but create fear in the heart is any better.

Devil was and still more sub-til than all human only by God's grace can his subtilty be detected and checkmated especially against homes. Every family experience this, devil have a subtil way by which he creep into homes undetected, some family have been scattered because of ordinary toothpaste, issues that can be easily overlooked are magnified only to make both party look stupid after the divorce paper is signed. Women by nature are prone to devils manipulation due to their emotional instability. Having unsuccessfully persuaded your wife you need to employ the weapon of prayers by committing her heart into Gods hand and destroy every subtle devices of the devil against your home and watch God uproot that recalcitrant trait from her. Those asking you to divorce her only want to compound your problem, divorce has never solve any problem it only add to it, even in cases of violence and abuse it is only safe to separate for sanity sake until issues are resolved. Devil doesn't want a settled progressive union to exist, a union that can bequeath sane children into the society who will impact the world positively for God.

SegFault:
There is no such thing as magic, mystical powers or whatever. Life is as bland and tasteless as air. Simple.

You know deep down in your heart the weightlessness of your assertions. Your denial is only a simple way of creating temporal relief and escape from undeniable realities of life.

SegFault:
He won not by juju but by the strength of a good army.

I'm not an advocate of magic or magical powers but it does exist, and of course every one of them do have their limit. Sometimes on a large scale they may be less effective but their potency against an individual who is less fortified can only be imagine. Are you denying the existence of mystical powers all together or just that of magic or it's potency against a fortified legions of armed invaders?
