He is not correct. Tithe is an eternal principle. It started before the law and it transcend the law in principle. Just carry out this experiment. Pay your tithe faithfully for a period of three months. Then, stop for that same period and come and tell us your experience. The financial instability many Christians are going through is because they do not pay their tithes. They fall into different financial problems ranging from health challenges to court cases and even loss of valuable properties. It's just that they see these problems as normal. But pay your tithe, you will be amazed how God will deliver you from all of these problems.

Dasuki is a strong PDP member, prosecute one northern Muslim who is APC member , then I will believe you are not bias , buratai has been accused of corruption buying house in Dubai by Sahara reporters, Snake swallowed jamb money, your all spent millions to cut grass, Ganduje video evidence is enough to kick him off, if nothing stopped you from trying Dino, nothing should stop you from trying them

SolutionMee:


I'm also a Christian and I think it's high time God should allow all Christians to prove their faith beyond doubt so as to separate believers from unbelievers.

I don't love the idea of someone being a powerless Christian. The name of Jesus carries fire (even on the battlefield).

Niger Delta militants have issued fresh threats to northerners in the region to vacate before October first or they risk facing their wrath.
The militants had issued a threat following a 90-day ultimatum given to Igbos in the north asking that oil blocs belonging to northerners be forfeited.

“As a follow-up on our previous press release, a joint meeting between the Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators and youth leaders across the Niger Delta region held today (Thursday) in Port Harcourt to review the state of the Nigerian nation and the position of Niger Delta in the Nigerian state. After hours of deliberation; we hereby resolve as follows:
“All northerners living in the Niger Delta have been given three-month notice to quit the Niger Delta before October 1, 2017. We still stand by our previous decisions and we demand the immediate return of the oil blocs owned by northerners to Niger Delta people.
“All oil and gas companies operating in oil bloc(s)/well(s) illegally owned by northerners should also vacate such oil blocs/wells/platforms before October 1, 2017.

The heads broken part got me. Igbos should be used as a case study. They are the only same-language speaking tribe that discriminate among themselves.

They fight one another like sworn enemies

We Died In 1966, We Won't Die In 2017

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi

Just after that first coup. I mean that Nigeria coup led by Kaduna Nzeogwu in collaboration with many other soldiers from other ethnic groups and tribes, came the counter coup led by Northern officers who branded the first coup Igbo coup.

They killed the head of state in the person of Aguiyi Ironsi. Ironsi was killed in the most barbaric way by those barbarians. They tied him on a military jeep and had him dragged along the road until he died. Ironsi is an Igbo man. Those barbarians which has the current Nigeria civilian president as one of them gathered Igbo and other Eastern soldiers together, disarmed them and had them killed. Same happened in the police, And other organizations. These killings didn't quench their taste for blood. They headed to the airports and shot everyone they met in that airport that is from Eastern Nigeria.

Did they stop? No they didn't. Their people joined them. Civilians joined in the killing. Owing to the number of Igbos and other Easterners killed in the North, it won't be a mistake to say that 85% of northerners in 1966 were all murderers. When I say Northerners I mean both core North and middle belt. They marched out and killed every Igbo man and everybody that looked like Igbo in the entire North. Gowon who took over as a military head watched as more than 700,000 Easterners were horrendously butchered to death.

So my dear Igbos currently in the north, this was how it happened. I knew you never had opportunity with history. I was lucky, I did history for 6years. So am telling no fairytales. Don't say you are not in the North, that you are in the Middle Belt. Don't just commit suicide brothers. These people were Christians in 1966 when they stopped Igbos in Benue Bridge returning from core North and massacred them all. Sad, yes, but its true. They were still Christians today when Arewa youths threatened to kill Igbos and take their properties in all the 19 northern states and they kept quiet.

This people are not Oba of Lagos or Yorubas who joked with throwing us into the lagoon if we vote against the candidates they wanted in Lagos. Brothers these people are ruthless, evil, and barbaric. They are terror minded people. A people that can kill 800 of their own in a night can do worse and there will be no world outcry. Remember, Nigeria life doesn't matter to UN as far as their illegal businesses are going on. And they will always support the North because they are the reason they are still in business.

Start now to prepare. See whoever that is telling you to continue going about your business in the North as the enemy. The South Eastern governors that failed to defend you against Fulani herdsmen in Biafra Land can't be assuring you of safety in a faraway land like Kano. Think brothers, think.

I know relocating won't be easy, but life is the best. Will you rather die?

Start proper documentation of your properties. Send other things home. Bring back children. We have enough schools here. Those in higher institutions should start making move for proper transfer. Are you an Igbo corp member reading me right now, and you are presently in the orientation camp anywhere in the North, please start relocation arraignment before Monday you will be leaving camp.

We died in 1966, we won't die in 2017.

A word is enough for the wise.

Sealeddeal:
the truth is that Igbos have varying views about Biafra. I served in Jigawa state. I served there with some Igbos who are residents of Northern state and whenever I start my campaign of Biafra, they will reject the idea vigorously. A lot of them don't want to go.
While I will be happy if Biafra is achieved, the truth is that Arewa Youth ultimatum is uncouth and has envy and jealousy written all over it. The ultimatum has nothing to do with Biafra, they are hungry youths that think that, by confiscating Igbos belongings, they will solve their poverty problems.

Coveting properties of other people. How does it feel to wish your neighbours ill so you can acquire his properties. That is a very low state of human existence.

All the long gibberish you put down here is very easy when you are not on the receiving end. Yes political positions is a game of numbers when it is based on a mutually agreed democratic systems. The Nigerian constitution which forms the basis of everything was crafted by the military government without the free input of all the diverse people that make up the nation. Evidently, those who are favoured by this status quo like yourself appear to be at peace. What you cannot deny other people who are aggrieved is their right to self determination. It is possible to attain self determination through formal processes where there are provisions for it in the constitution. Apparently this is not the case with Nigeria at present. That is why we will have to seek other ways to achieve it and that is the present agitation and conversations that we are having hoping to appeals to your dead consciences. We are mindful that oppressors never release their hold freely but they always do in the long run. Many nations have passed through more difficult oppression that the Igbo; even under more lethal opponents. I tell you my friend Nigeria never see anything.

jomonic:
So you are suggesting that the price to pay for ''dominating'' the economy is to accept the status of second class citizen. I don't think you people are serious. It is also unfortunate that some elders act like foolish children. However I am not one of those that take the infantile and empty threats seriously. I only take it as a response based on total lack of understanding for the resolve of Ndi-Igbo at this point in time to move on since Nigeria does not want to change and fully accommodate them for over 50 years of sharing the same country. After several decades the resolve to contain the Igbo is affecting the entire development of Nigeria and the knock-on damage in on everyone. We must move on. Hence two options; change the political structure or break the country peacefully. There is no other way and the time is now. We don't dislike Hausa / Fulani or Yoruba or anybody but we do not want you to repress or control our destiny for ever. We are over 60 million strong people in Nigeria and our agitation must be considered seriously if this country is serious. If Africans in South Africa can wrestle power from the apartheid government, then how much more Nigeria that is comparatively a toy country. Can't you understand?

jomonic:
This professor is amazing in his one sided reasoning. Is he aware that there is something called self determination of a people. Did the Igbo seat in a group meeting to plot the first coup? The answer is capital NO. But lets assume that this is the case and that they were defeated in a bitter conflict as a result. What makes this idiot professor think that the condition of overlordship on a defeated nation can go on in perpetuity. Let this man look through history. Even great empires like the Romans or the Greece won, controlled and lost hold of defeated empires. The reasons for their loss is today replicated in the way Nigeria has refused to accommodate the Igbo, a condition that is fast approaching its end time. Blinded by pride and arrogance; intoxicated by the life of unmerited affluence, they fail to realize that this country is expired.

Willie2015:
Keep your disappointment to yourself and read my comments carefully.

My argument is still simple, it is not advisable to start a business in a recession period. The bottom line is that it will collapse like any other business in this harsh environment. I am not trying to discourage any young entrepreneur, I am only giving folks a dose of reality.

Preservation of capital is of utmost important in this period.

Dont twist my comments.
You clearly stated that stocks are for the rich and also mentioned example of your friends that made =N=300 dividend from Zenith Stock. My comments is to change your mindset that stock trading is not only for the Rich, poor folks can also make use of amount like =N=100k to trade.

Pls dont go about smooth talking pple into wasting their scarce resources in the name of starting one biz in this recession. The simple truth is that business are likely to survive when the economy is not in recession and I will have been on ground zero if I started my biz during this recession.

My friend It is advisable to start a business in a recession if after the feasibility study the indicators are showing green, so it depends on the out come of the feasibility study. Your argument sound so theoretical may be that is what you learned from a school professor who does not even have a business. Drop those school theories some of them are very wrong. You have said it yourself that you can start a business now with just 100'000 naira and in a year you will have N200,000 so why are you saying is not advisable to start a business in a recession? may be you have to go back and really understand the meaning of business. In a recession when value of houses are going down if you can become an agent linking rich people to buy these cheap houses and get your commission which may be running into millions like in Maitama, Asokoro and other choice areas in Abuja is that not okay?

Now why I said buying shares is not for the poor and will never advise a poor person to buy shares. In the same year that my colleaque bought Zenith shares worth N50'000 and got N300 as dividend, that same year Jim Ovia's dividend in the same year and bank was about N250, 000, 000 (250 million naira) while the dividend given to my colleaque was consumed by inflation before it s arrival Ovia' s case was different.

The poor who bought bank shares in 2007 that were sold above N50 and some even N60 per share what profit have they made today? knowing that since that year banks' shares went down and are yet to go up

The poor who had put in his N50,000 into pure water business since then most have made a lot of money far more than your poor people holding bank shares if they made money at all.

This think is not about those false theories and principles you learn in school is about critical analysis and common sense.

That is why you see those coming out with first class in business administration are not doing well in businesses if they ever have businesses at all, that is why those with first class in finance never make up the list of the most richest people.

You have read books written by University professors or those who have not done it, it is now time you read books written by those who have done it you will learn quite a different think.

There was this professor when we were in school called professor Eskotoyo, he was a professor of economic theories and when he speaks then you will think he can take a dwindling economy and turn it to world first economy in less than a year but this prof continued to live in poverty even to maintain his only one car his state government had to give him financial aid. Some of these things we learn in school are not applicable in the real world if you doubt me tell me any business professor in the whole world that can compete favorably with people like bill gate, dangote, and their likes.

I know people like you will prefer to learn under a university professor but I will prefer to learn under dangote, bill gate and their likes if given the opportunity.
Even if it is not advisable to start a business in a recession I will rather prefer to hear it from the likes of dangote, otedola and others who have done it but certainly not from a university professor or you because you don't sound like one who have done it as your argument is guided by fear not scientific or empirical data.

bettercreature:
Lol you are funny! He is a business man he only thinks about making money

Willie2015:
These are general statements and you need to run a business practically to understand my position.

Cost of tyres for cars jumped from =N=17,000 to =N=38,000.00, cost of battery jumped from =N13,000.00 to =N24,000.00. Other motor vehicles parts and maintenance cost have doubled during this recession and yet without corresponding increase in transportation fees by passengers.

You still have to contend with police, frsc fines, other park fees,miscellaneous costs and theft by drivers while this administration also make things worse by increasing fuel cost to =N=145/litre. At the end of the month, your revenue hardly covers your running expenses. This business will have failed if I don't have enough shock absorber from other sources.

I am equally surprised on your statement that stocks are for the rich. Give me that =N=100,000.00 for a year, I will double it within a year or less just in the comfort of my house with my mobile phone. TBill & Bonds gives good interest without any risk to your capital.

Why do you think Banks stop giving loans to SMEs, their chance of survival is too slim and more difficult in this recession period.

Palm Oil may be a hot cake in Abuja but you need to understand the dose of reality that business is not just as simple as you have just described it. You will have to deal with,

- High Fuel/Transport cost from East to Abuja
- Different fines by different security outfits on the roads
- Presence of cabal in Abuja market that you dont even have control over and yet dictate price of your products
-Inability to pass all these increasing cost to consumers because of low disposable income and on the longrun, you are even battling to even recover your capital.

In summary, its not about defeat, its about giving your business the best shot of survival with your scarce resources. This is the reason you see some coys in Nigeria moving their production base to a conducive environment.
