Pastor Kumuyi, where have you been all our lives?

I stopped reading at this line.

By this one line, you don't need to know Femin Adeshina to know that he can't be taken seriously.

Mr Adeshina has always known where Pastor Kumuyi has been. Indeed his principal has met with him in the past, by his own admission.

But Adeshin now extols Pastor Kumuyi solely because he has made comments that could be, by those willing to do so, taken out of context and erected as a shield for the corrupt and ineffective government of the day.

GAZZUZZ:
The title might seem unpatriotic, but not entirely so.

Quick story

In 2018 I sold an SUV to a friend at 3.5m, he paid 2m and said he would balance up in the future.

Fast forward to 2021 October he pays me ₦1m with a pending balance of ₦500,000.

Vehicle sold in 2018 is now ₦5.3m in 2021.


Lesson learnt.

Going forward all transactions that have to do with pending payments will be signed as dollar equivalents .

Meaning if you want to take a loan or owe me large sums of money E.g ₦1m (sept 2021 2,433.5799 US Dollars) all we will do is check current dollar rate and peg repayment on the dollar equivalent in the future (2,433.5799 US Dollars)


The end

Finance 101. This is called the time value of money.

The primary reason lenders charge interest is to cover for inflation before adding their profits.

Lagosianswag:
The Law of positive attractions.
Someone can be endeared to you by the positive feedback they get from your aura.
Except you're a freak of nature, there's someone out there attracted to you by way of sight or verbal interactions.
You don't have to chase after people always, sometimes they meet you halfway.

Certainly - there's someone for everyone and when you find that one, there will be no need for chasing.

SportsHD:
Chasing a woman seems like a fruitless effort to me. Get them attracted to you instead. They're over 100 million women in Nigeria at the moment.

And all of them are just waiting for you to pick and choose abi?

Be realistic.

Though I agree with your initial point, it is of course better to go for women who are already attracted to you.

Mariangeles:
Her virtue.

There's more to life than the physical.

What exactly is this virtue -- is it different from the virtue in the dictionary -- and where did you first learn about it?

Just want to learn from you.

History will never erase Obasanjo's history in the villages of Odi and Zaki Biam.

The man is guilty of crimes against humanity.

JuanJO:
You are telling the public to disregard the propaganda made by IPOB/ESN a[b]nd at the same time you are ordering for an investigation to ascertain the authenticity of the news[/b]

Social media be like breeze/air and this our sweet government be like fowl nyash. When breeze/air blow e go open fowl nyash
Thank God social media.

To be fair, he never said this.

He said an investigation will be conducted to determine where and when this took place. That is to say, he is adamant that the location and date are wrongly reported while conceding that the soldiers did misbehave at some other place and time which equally warrants investigation.

Whether he is right or wrong, I just believe it is wrong to take people's words and twist them into something else in order to make mockery of them. Mock him on the strength of what he actually said - if you must.

Pussywar:
Human beings are not cars.

Not everyone believes in the concept of virginity

Morality is subjective

You cannot be insulting, reducing and objectifying people for having sex while speaking on morality. It’s goes beyond sex and dressing.


Not everyone is religious

You can choose not to be with someone who has had multiple partners, but it’s only basic human decency not to shame them from your own moral perspective. Why is this even an argument?

You are quite correct of course in that he used a faulty analogy (a logical fallacy), because humans are not cars, therefore human parts do not wear out by virtue of having intercourse.

That argument is as asinine as suggesting that the human stomach wears out the more we eat.

Not to talk about the misapplication of the principle of diminishing returns, which actually suggests that the more you increase certain inputs the more utility you derive up to a certain point. The diminishing returns then set in only after the optimal point. By applying this principle to this situation, he has therefore suggested that you should indeed increase your body count but only up to a certain point.

Sebastine1994:
Power resides where men believe it resides.
It’s a trick. A shadow on the wall.
And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.






There are four men in a room - King, Priest, RichMan and Sellsword. The first three men each say the same thing to Sellsword - to kill the other two.

Now if Mr. Sellsword happens to be a devout man, he obeys Priest and kills King and Richman.

If Mr. Sellsword happens to think money is more important, he listens to Richman and kills King and Priest.

And finally, if Mr. Sellsword believes that it is his duty to obey King, he kills Priest and Richman.

Point? It doesn’t matter how powerful King, Priest or Richman consider themselves to be. Real power lies with the one whose claim Sellsword believes. It’s up to Sellsword at this point to make a call about who should be killed and who should be spared.

Sellsword here is ultimately a representation of the people. So it really is up to the people to decide who they believe in. No authority can hope to sustain power if the people don’t believe in them.

Power resides where men believe it resides.

the story and moral don't agree. by the story, power always resides in the sellsword.

OfficialDJ:
your username is a complete irony....

Stop spamming my mentions with your dim-witted replies.

I don't reply feather brains

Yet you went out of your way to reply my comment which was directed at someone else, with your nonsensical grammar.

You're a third rate clown.

OfficialDJ:
it is 'doesn't concern you' ding bat

"things that doesn't concern you"?

You're joking right?

lmao.

OfficialDJ:
you stay in bushes obviously

Fix your grammar and stop troubling your mind with things that don't concern you.

735i:
Lol.. I know the car you saw for N1.9m. It's a 118i and it has a 1.6L turbocharged engine which is actually small for a real enhusiast. It's in the same level as a MB A-class.

If the seller were in Lagos, I may have bought it as second car.

BMW'S are not difficult to maintain. Get a BMW engineer to service it and throw in the right parts at the right time then you have no issues.

As a BMW owner, I'll tell you for free; the experience of owning and driving a BMW is not comparable to any Japanese out there.

100%

I've yet to meet a car that can outrun my e46 (6 cylinders)

Sixfeetbelle:
How is "I'm" grammatical nonsense? I'm seriously confuzzled.

Was that what I highlighted in your original comment?

Sixfeetbelle:
And the use of "am" instead of "I'm" isn't?

They both obviously are.

temitope27:
There was no rape and the girl is nt underage abeg release the man

She accused him of threatening t kill her so that is of cousre alleged rape

Sixfeetbelle:
I hate when people use 'Am' instead of 'I'm' and I believe it, in a way, says a lot about the person's English literacy abilities. It's also like how some mistake usages of 'their' and 'there' or 'where' and 'were'.

I know something like an IELTS exam would not condone this error so I totally understand why your boss did what he did and commend him for it.

To all those shouting 'your boss is wicked', you are allowed to make this same mistake on a standard assessment examination for a high paying job.

that's grammatical nonsense.

Torture2020:
Forget about Ghana GDP and Lagos GDP. Don't know why some Nigerians are so fixated on GDP GDP na food? Lagos may have a bigger a bigger GDP but people in Ghana have a better quality of life than Lagosians. And frankly I don't give a rat azz if you agree or not

Ghana is attracting more FDI in comparative terms, that is the bottom line. By the way, what is Lagos annual budget in the context of its so-called GDP? Can you explain why despite its huge GDP, Lagos annual budget is not even up to $1 billion?

Why confuse yourself. First, you dismiss GDP as a measure of economic well-being, then you turn to FDI which is a component of GDP. Do you understand these matters at all?

Maxymilliano:
Someone once described Buhari as evil personified, I have no doubt whatsoever the dullard aptly fits the description

Be reasonable. This is obviously being perpetrated by officials at the grassroots level. Buhari clearly is a terrible being but what does it profit you to close your eyes and pretend that everything that goes wrong is because of Buhari?

Bigchristo:
If they don’t make noise how do they sell their weapons? What you said is the other way round, Russia and China don’t make noise until they started seeing Kim Jung Un of North Korea lunching missiles to threaten military strike on USA, now they’re copying from them, truth is WWIII determine who own the most sophisticated weapons

Completely bereft of understanding.

There are grades of weapons the US sells to friendly countries, grades that are reserved for its key partners, grades that are reserved for NATO allies, and grades that are not sold to anyone whatsoever.

And do you think Russia and China do not sell their military tech? Where do you think middle eastern despots like Assad get their fighter jests and rockets?


Do you know that China develops its military tech by copying US advancements wherever it can.

It might be fanciful to want to believe that the US has been surpassed as a military power, however that is not the reality. Not even close - and there is no military alliance to compete with NATO lest you think the US is alone.

ladyF:
Makes no sense. They already paid for it, company already made profit.

That's what you think.

Not too many people will have read the detailed report. Certainly very few would have read the whoel thing.

By burning it and sharing via social media, he will reach a much wider audience and thereby spread some awareness.

In fact, most of this audience will not even need to read the report to conclude that the allegation is true.

J0y0usever:
OP no mention name so even if it's you his post is referring to you, you have no right to sack him.
I'm a lawyer and if he is sacked then I'll trace you, arrest you and make sure you're imprisoned cos I'll take up your matter in the court of law.
Sorry wrong quote, I wanted quoting Ola17

Lol, you will arrest and imprison him for sacking someone?

Where did you learn your own law?

elonmuskbaby:
if a bride did this on her wedding day, for the next one week, Bish,asawo and other unprintable names will have been flying all over social media.so much for hypocrisy

But here we are on social media and people are doing the same to the man. So where is the hypocrisy?

Haryhomyidhey:
there was another day i was going out, i can't remember where i was going to that day. I was in my car and when i got to a particular point on the road, my car break failed totally, like i was afraid. I kept on turning the steering to the left and to the right. I made a mistake that day by removing my seat belt... The car was going to the left and to the right. I was sweating in A.C.. Suddenly the car stopped at the front of a big tree and i hit my head on the steering. I became unconsious but i managed to whine down the glass and put my two hands outside so that people would know there is an accident. I found myself in an hospital and sustained and head injury... It was a very long story and i thank God it was not more than that...

When your breaks fail, rapidly change to a lower gear. If you are in 3, go to 1 immediately.

rollywise:
Tueh! Don't make me throw up on you now. Na cheap data dey do you. Social media allows people talk cheap from their houses after all you don't see who talking to neither do they see you. Na social media I blame. But from your comments I know you are pauper. Your hand never touch money. Your Yahoo never pay. Mugu

Lol...stop this false bravado already.

I have no interest in making you feel bad.

It's okay.

rollywise:
Mr better than the world. Better than bbn, better than naija. Hafa, you don make am?

You really have no clue do you?

You'd love to be me.

Hunku abi na hanti, I didn't read your epistle. E be like say you don crase to dey write me such long sermon and expect me to read it. Are you ok? Abi na you dey sub for me? I repeat, the show ends in two days, make you sure you blow afterwards or I blow you. Silly boy

You can barely afford internet for a couple hours a day and you are online attempting to drag words with your betters?



I would have thought finding gainful employment would have been your priority?

lmao.

rollywise:
You are too mature to watch it yet you know about it. Where has your maturity taken you. It ends in two days so you can put your maturity to use

Try to have sense.

1. I never said I don't watch it at all - I criticized him for following it obsessively and claiming to learn life lessons therefrom. The show is mere entertainment just as a football match, though oI would argue football is infinitely more entertaining.

2. You would be very silly to think that all of us here are at the same point in life. I need not prove anything to online clowns like yourself anyway.

3. You feel attacked, yet I wasn;t attacking you but my friend. If you feel like spending all your time watching that show, I don't care. Do you.

Agian. procure some sense - it will do you good.

FolabiCash:
You're learning from BB naija ?

Lmao.

That was how I asked my friend why on earth he watches and follows this stuff so diligently. This guy said you can learn life lessons - I felt like knocking out his front teeth. A grown man of 30.

Maxymilliano:
Am I the only one wondering why prisoners with access to guns and grenades decided to hold a gang war rather than break out of jail or is it just plain foolishness

They would be easily overwhelmed by the superior firepower of their guards who would be fighting from a vantage point and killed. Makes more sense to wait out their sentences and go home.

Nostring:
Lol in just 8 years u don move to 6countries ,7 clubs...reason am yourself why den dey kick u out and u no stable ??

He has been moving to better clubs each time.

Don't be an idiot.
