We had a deal with Buhari for 4years!!

Don't start writing poo just after 1year... If 2019 comes, and you don't like Buhari, present your Candidate!!

We will meet at the polls!!

For now, remain quiet and Observe!! Baba is having a meeting with Obama!! Don't make noise!!

2019 ke? We are praying for him to be well and alive. We are also praying that the Lord uses him at least to do something. Meanwhile we call for his removal/impeachment cos we are in a deep mess. The man knows not how to handle the mess we are in. Even his laing minister said so.

ascendo:
who are the "we"? Do you pay your tax? It's unfair to compare your kontiri with all those countries that have gone far

What makes us different from them? I believe we can start with a 1km subway link right in the heart of Lagos. Marina to Apapa is very feasible. That's one of the reasons I came across this in the first place. It costs $400m/km to construct a subway line. Why cant we do that and decongest our roads and clean up our air?

VickyRotex:
Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm speechless. the distance from the ocean to the North America is 220km 125miles apart. That's gonna be scary.

Yes it is. Yet we can't even do surface standard gauge from Lagos to Ibadan. Pathetic!

Just came across the mad feat of engineering the Chinese are attempting and hoping to complete by 2026. These guys are firing on all cylinders.

Formidable1:
My wife has taken my April Fool joke very seriously. I decided to pull a prank on her today, and it's almost going out of hand.

It was in the morning, and I knew she wasnt yet aware that it was April Fool's Day. So I told her that I had a confession to make to her and it has been eating me up. I told her that I have a child outside our marriage. That I have a son who's around 12yrs now. That I had the child before I met her, but I couldn't tell her because I didn't want to lose her.

She was speechless but I could tell she was shaken. She searched my eyes to know if I was joking, but I maintained my seriousness. She calmy started asking me questions to know whether I was being real, but I was already prepared for any question. By the time she was through interrogating me, she has already broken down in tears.

I continued with the joke, and I told her to please forgive me for not telling her all this while. She believed everything I said and by the time I told her it was April Fool's joke, it was too late. She was inconsolable, and she told me it wasn't a joke, cos she knew I was telling her the truth. She said she had always had the feeling that I had a child cos she saw it in her dream before we got married.

To cut it short, right now she's mad at me...and she has threatened to leave with my 6 months old daughter and abandon our 3 yr-old marriage. She has already called her mum and sister and narrated the whole thing.

So, guys plz I need una help right now. My own April Fool prank has gone all wrong. What can I do?

Guy she's getting her revenge too. She's having her own april fool's day going and ure on nairaland working up yourself. APRIL FOOL

This ur writeup is very unfair to Glo. Glo has an 11k/sec plan too with an access charge of N5. Besides glo is d best cos if u load via vtu u'll get 20% more for calls, data & SMS. Also, Glo's credit lasts longer but quality sometimes is a bit lower and data transmission breaks. In terms of pricing Glo is miles apart from any network. As per quality perhaps midway.

Am I the only one smelling the fishy part of this report? Photograph shows they were without guns and corroborated by the DPOs account of what happened. But it seems these boys were gunned down in cold blood. The DPO even implicated his boys knowing that the robbers were without guns. Although I do not condone armed robbery but an in-house inquiry into this matter should be commissioned.

Op,I don't know what your celebration is all about? Why are you people eager to destroy Anambra state. Anybody that thinks that something uncommon is happening in Awka or in any part of anambra state need to think again. Everyday, we are being inundated with lies and half-truths. Anambra state is presently moving on snail speed. Obiano and his band of social media dogs cannot change the facts on ground in Anambra state.

I hate liars like you. I'm from Edo state but residing in Lagos. I was in Anambra state 2months ago and was pleasanlty surprised with what I saw. Politics aside Obiano has transformed that state. So no amount of your lies from the pit of hell can convince me or anyone who has been to Anambra otherwise.

What's d police turning to? So they now allow all that makeup on uniform? The discipline within our paramilitary is zero. This u won't see in most advanced countries even though they have very free societies.
Pathetic.

LEGALAide:
TO TITHE OR NOT TO TITHE: WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.

Tithe: A tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart for special purposes.

MALACHI 3:10 (New International Version):
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it".

Many Christians struggle with the issue of tithing.
In some churches tithing is over-emphasized at the expense of giving to the needy.
Tithing is an Old Testament concept. The tithe was a requirement of the Law in which the Israelites were to give 10 percent of the crops they grew and the livestock they raised to the tabernacle/temple
- see Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 14:24; 2 Chronicles 31:5.
In fact, the Old Testament Law required multiple tithes—one for the Levites, one for the use of the temple and the feasts, and one for the poor of the land—which would have pushed the total to around 23.3 percent.
Some understand the Old Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide for the needs of the priests and Levites in the sacrificial system.


NOTE: Tithes were awarded to the Levites for their priestly service because they would not receive land in Canaan see: Num 18:19-21.
They, too, gave a tenth of what they received (v. 26).

Donation of a tenth portion, or tithe, was common apparently because most peoples counted in tens, based on ten fingers.

Tithing first appeared in the Bible when Abraham gave one-tenth of the spoils of war to Melchizedek, the priest-king of Salem see: Gen 14:18-20.
The writer of Hebrews presumed that tithes were paid to a higher authority and inferred that there was a greater priesthood than Aaron's see: Hebrews 7:4 Hebrews 7:9.

GENESIS 14:8-12:
The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah (Plus their allies) fought a battle against king Chedorlaomer king of Elam (plus his allies). Chedorlaomer king of Elam and his allies won the battle and took all the food supply and other goods from Sodom. They also took Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions and departed, for he (Lot) was living in Sodom.


GENESIS 14:9-17:
The incident was reported to Abram and he took 318 of his trained servants and defeated Chedorlaomer king of Elam. Abram brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot, with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.


GENESIS 14:18-20:
After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer, Abram was met by Melchizedek king of Salem and a Canaanite priest of God Most High, refreshing them with bread and wine and he blessed Abram. The blessing was given to Abram, a very important fact to remember. In response, Abram gave one-tenth (10%) of all the goods of Sodom that were stolen by Chedorlaomer to Melchizedek. Abram DID NOT tithe from his own possessions, an essential fact to refute tithing practices in the new covenant.


GENESIS 14:21-24:
The king of Sodom offered to give Abram all the goods of Sodom that were recovered for himself, but Abram refused, taking not one single item, to give honor to Yahweh, lest people say this pagan king of Sodom made him rich. This is a very important point, because Abram took NO INCOME and the tithe he gave to Melchizedek did not come from his goods, but those of the Sodomites and 1/10 of Lot’s recovered goods.


CONCLUSION:
If Abram’s aforementioned encounter is used by clergy men to justify the practice of tithing from one’s gross income, then they are justifying Christians paying 10% of goods and money they do not own!
Even worse, paying tithes this way means they have to find someone who has been robbed and recover the stolen goods.
For example, if jewelry was stolen in a burglary, the tithing Christian must first return the stolen goods to the rightful owner, who must not be a Christian, (in keeping true to the symbolism of Abram and Melchizedek) and then use 10% of the recovered goods as a tithe to the church.
This is an outlandishly absurd example and it ought to be ample proof for rejecting this false doctrine of church tithing.

The modern practice of church tithing is not supported by the teachings of scripture.
Church tithing began in the late nineteenth century when a Wesleyan Church in Cincinnati hosted multiple fund-raising events to erase its enormous debt.Fledgling on the brink of bankruptcy and devoid of options, a layman came up with the idea of, “storehouse tithing.”
It was an instant success and soon the news spread like wildfire throughout Christendom and the practice of storehouse tithing caught on.
At the time, it seemed the answer to the debts and financial woes of churches whose church members gave indiscriminately.

Today storehouse tithing is a deep-rooted tradition that is promoted on a regular basis by clergy men that misuse the context of Malachi 3:8-11.
Pastors insist that every church member is obliged (as a matter of righteousness) to pay 10% of his or her gross income.
In addition to the tithe that church members give, most churches teach that a, “freewill offering,” over and above the 10% tithe should be given to again to the church or any charitable cause, with the stipulation that his or her “local church” is always to receive the “tithe.”

The New Testament nowhere commands, or even recommends, that Christians submit to a legalistic tithe system. The New Testament nowhere designates a percentage of income a person should set aside, but only says gifts should be “in keeping with income” -see 1 Corinthians 16:2. Some in the Christian church have taken the 10 percent figure from the Old Testament tithe and applied it as a “recommended minimum” for Christians in their giving.

The New Testament talks about the importance and benefits of giving.
We are to give as we are able. Sometimes that means giving more than 10 percent; sometimes that may mean giving less. It all depends on the ability of the Christian and the needs of the church. Every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom in the matter of participating in tithing and/or how much to give -see James 1:5. Above all, all tithes and offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ.
“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver”- see 2 Corinthians 9:7.

Nowhere does the New Testament require Christians to tithe in the sense of giving 10 percent, but it does reiterate many things associated with tithing:
those who minister are entitled to receive support - see 1 Cor 9:14;
the poor and needy should be cared for- see 1 Cor 16:1; Gal 2:10;
those who give can trust God, as the source of all that is given- see 2 Cor 9:10,
to supply their needs -see 2 Cor 9:8; Php 4:19;
and giving should be done joyously- see 2 Cor 9:7.

Paul's vocabulary and teaching suggest that giving is voluntary and that there is no set percentage. Following the example of Christ, who gave even his life ( 2 Cor 8:9), we should cheerfully give as much as we have decided ( 2 Cor 9:7) based on how much the Lord has prospered us ( 1 Cor 16:2), knowing that we reap in proportion to what we sow ( 2 Cor 9:6) and that we will ultimately give account for our deeds ( Rom 14:12).

The New Testament directs that taxes be paid to the state- see Rom 13:6-7, which replaced Israel's theocracy.
In the days of Abraham and his contemporaries, there was no tax system. Society was largely theocratic. Tithes therefore, were next to modern day taxes. Jesus is seen in Matthew 17:24-27 asking Peter to pay their taxes.
Matthew 17:24:
When Jesus and the others arrived in Capernaum, the collectors for the temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25 “Yes, he does,” Peter answered.
After they had returned home, Jesus went up to Peter and asked him, “Simon, what do you think? Do the kings of this earth collect taxes and fees from their own people or from foreigners?”

26 Peter answered, “From foreigners.”
Jesus replied, “Then their own people don’t have to pay.
27 But we don’t want to cause trouble. So go cast a line into the lake and pull out the first fish you hook. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Use it to, pay your taxes and mine.”
Nowhere did we find Jesus speaking about tithe. This is because the essence of tithing, which is anchored in the law, is giving from one's abundance. Jesus came to fulfill the law. He therefore gave, not from His abundance, but His all - His life.
Christians today are called to look beyond ordinary tithing, submitting their lifes to God!
That is the perfect tithe.

WHY DON'T WE READ ABOUT THE TITHE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT?

Jesus actually called his followers to a standard of giving that went far beyond the tithe. He called us to give up everything and follow Him. The early Christians were able to do this. However, as the Church expanded throughout the world, its followers needed to be reminded that generous giving is a hallmark of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The Church Council of Macon in 585 A.D. ordered payment of tithes. In the 8th century, Charlemagne made tithing to the Church a civil law. The Council of Trent (1545-1563) also reiterated the call to tithe.

“Tell the rich in the present age not to be proud and not to rely on so uncertain a thing as wealth but rather on God, who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, ready to share, thus accumulating as treasure a good foundation for the future, so as to win the life that is true life.” -1 Timothy 6:17-19
A New Testament teaching on giving which may be helpful to you is found in 1 Corinthians 16:2:
“On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income.” This passage brings out four points: we should give individually, regularly, methodically, and proportionately.
The matter of your giving is between you and God, and He always takes into account our circumstances. He knows when they are beyond our power to direct and control. The important thing is that we see giving (not just to the church, nay a pastor) as a privilege and not a burden. It should not be out of a sense of duty, rather out of love for the Lord and a desire to see His kingdom advanced.

- O.S. EMEJULU Esq.

There are a couple of misconceptions i'll like to correct in ur write-up. First and foremost Abraham gave as he was led in the spirit to give. Spirit giving is the most unique form of giving. U can be led to give all of ur income or a part of it.
Abraham was led in d Spirit to give 10% to Melchizedek d great high priest, Jacob swore 10% to God if he was led safely to his uncle Laban and back. This was the original reason for 10% until Moses commanded them to tithe 10%.

Another misconception was the 10% d Isrealites submitted as commanded by Moses. In Deut 14:22-29 & Deut 26:12-13 the Lord explicitly stated what we were to do with d tithes. Our tithes were meant to be eaten by us and our family and loved ones at a place set apart by God. In the 3rd year, we were to bring the tithes to the storehouse and it will be distributed evenly to the levites, aliens, widows, fatherless, destitutes generally.

In the new testament Jesus knew that some people formed a government upon themselves and demanded for tithes, firstfruits, offerings, etc. All of these Jesus came to abolish by offering himself as the only sacrifice ever accepted by God for the remission of sins and the neutralizing of curses as contained in Lev 26:14-39.

Finally, to buttress spirit-led giving I take you to 2Corinthians 9:6-8, St Paul admonishes us to give from our heart, not grudgingly, not being compelled to but rather as you are led by the Spirit to give.

Dont just state , explain why you think its murder or suicide

If we say its a suicide then we'll assume that after writing a suicide note the man turned around to back the mirror. Held the gun to his side head and pulled the trigger with his right hand. After the shot rang out, his blood splattered over the wall. The problem with this is why is there just blood on the wall and no place to show where the bullet is logged? Why is the gun still firmly in his grasp? Why would he have to back the mirror after drafting the suicide note to pull the trigger? Assuming he was facing the mirror when he shot himself, why isn't the gun in his left hand?
I believe the killer made him write a suicide note, shot him from a bit of a distance and placed the gun in his hand. The killer's mistake was placing the gun in his right hand.

Pinkiecutie You are a virgin, your mum's sick, your dad's passed on and it looks all bleak so? You won't be the first and wont be the last. People are going through worse but u should be glad you have a 2.1 and you're healthy and still alive. Get on your knees and pray girl. From what you've written it looks like your faith is wavering and you're thinking let me just sleep with him and get over with it. There's going to be a next case, another and another. The devil is going to suck you down so badly that he'll make you feel worthless and he'll give God a compelling reason why you should be a candidate for hell by taking your life early. You've kept your virginity thus far hence you should be able to call on the name that's above every other name. At the mention of it every knee will bow, all problems submit. Physical forces, spiritual forces in the heavens, on earth and beneath the earth.
What happens if God decides to call back your mother?
What happens if you don't get a job for 5yrs?
What happens if you get struck by sicknesses?
What happens when there seems to be no help forth coming?
Will you still love God?
Will you preserve his temple that hosts your soul?
Will you still praise him no matter your situation?
Will you still praise, worship, call upon him and wait upon him?
When all else fails will you still love God?
God has made you his temple so have you decided to throw out all other forces that seeks to replace the Lord Jesus as the Great High Priest in your temple?

Darling, after reading this just get up from that sit of yours or bed if you're lying down and just praise Yahweh. Praise the Lord who can do things because we ask. Praise the Jehovah that breaks the hold of Satan around you. If all else fails will you still praise and love God? Break from your weak mentality and enter one reserved for children of faith. Abraham had faith in God and was ascribed to him as righteousness. Daugther of Abraham, carefully crafted and pampered by he who created all things. Change your mindset and be renewed in your spirit.
