Religion / Re: I Was Sent Out Of The Church Just Because I Was Wearing An Earring by Standing5(m): 9:49am On Jun 04, 2023
Merry100:
Even though I had to follow certain doctrines when I was younger, I have come to question some of them as they cannot be proven through the Bible. I am particularly curious about where the Bible specifically forbids wearing earrings. My parents are devout Christians, and they did not even pierce my ears, let alone allow me to wear earrings. However, one day I felt like wearing an earring, so I put on a magnetic earring and went out. Later in that day, I attended a Church program a friend invited me but when I got to the Church, I was asked to remove my earring or leave.

I am not trying to shade Christianity, not all Churches treat visitors that way, I was even surprised at the way I was treated that day. I am just specifically curious about where God condemned earring in the Bible? I accept that all Churches have their own doctrines but some of these Churches still use there doctrines to rate Christians from other Churches. Is wearing earring a sin or just some Church doctrines? I can't find any verse in the Bible that condemns earring. If you know any please indicate.
show me if God also condemned AK 47 also.

Politics / Re: NNPC: Subsidy Removal To Reduce Petrol Consumption By 30% by Standing5(m): 8:01am On Jun 04, 2023
I was expecting like 70% or more since they made us believe the poor aren't benefiting from it at all but a meagre 30% is poor for a product that just doubled in price.
That means what was being smuggled out was less than 30% all along and they only magnify it on pages of media to force the removal of the subsidy.

casualobserver:


Go and read up on Venezuela and what subsidy has done to them. They have the most oil reserves in the world (more than Saudi) , their petrol is the cheapest in the world thanks to subsidies and 97% of the population lives in poverty. That’s the path Nigeria was on. It’s no coincidence we became the poverty capital of the world in the last 12 years under the subsidy regime.

No point in arguing with you anyway. Subsidy is gone and it ain’t coming back, if you like strike, when hunger catch all of una nobody will tell you to buy petrol or buy a bicycle and go to work.
keep shut oga.
Politics / Re: Removal Of Fuel Subsidy Is Good But Nigeria Still Have A Long Way To Go by Standing5(m): 5:39pm On Jun 03, 2023
They will start with one or two good paper initiative then loot the subsidy proceeds. after that, they will go after forex subsidy, education subsidy and then tax increase. All these will be interjected by flashy and bogus PPP long term looting projects then they will finish it of with more tax.

Politics / Re: Is This Same Person The Owner Of Nairaland? by Standing5(m): 9:44am On Jun 03, 2023
He is right.

Civil servant don't spend all their money on fuel alone. Other commodities are only expected to experience a marginal increase in production cost as a result of petrol price increase.

Take farm produce for example, petrol price increase cant and won't push prices of fertilizer, labour, or seedlings up by 200%. Never.

The current president once admitted that a removal of the same subsidy will bring hardship( in 2012 I think) and not existence of marketers. The APC is a useless party.

He fought Tinubu to a Standstill during his tenure as president even denying him Lagos LG allocations.

He hounded Ibori to jail using his puppet, Goodluck Jonathan and the EFCC

He frustrated Osoba in Ogun State and ensure he didn't get second term in 2003.

How will former president Olusegun Obasanjo feel seeing these ones in charge ?

He should have put them all in jail and saved us a generation of thieving godfather across regions.

Perfectbeing:
Nigeria border is over 4500km. That's more than 5X the distance of Lagos to Abuja. How many customs, soldiers, Immigration officers can man that length?
Nigeria is 900 thousand sqkm yet DSS claims to have ear in every nook and crany. Why not employ 20,000 personal and pay them N75k to infiltrate smugglers? That's N20b a year and about what goes to subsidy in a day or two. That same border suddenly became tight in security when it was time for closure and food embargo so why not against fuel smugglers?
Tinubu once asked Buhari to recruit 50,000 into the army so why not take a cue from his own school of thought and use to solve the problem?

Politics / Re: NLC Should Denand N100,000 Minimum Wage by Standing5(m): 7:06am On Jun 03, 2023
SalamRushdie:
Minimum wage is a ruse , when minimum wage becomes 100k it would still buy just the same things your 30k buys today, the trick is to improve purchasing power and not increase minimum wage
Exactly. It isn't about the volume of money in hand but what can be exchanged with the money. That's why there has to be a concerted drive to increase production from LG to state to FG level. Industrials estates, state owned industries, state subsidized industries, stakes in strategic multinationals, industries and within the right industries.

Not buying of bonds and taking heavy loans.
