AntiChristian:
Holy spirit helped you figure all these out! But Jesus your God didn't know the hour since 2000 years ago till now! When will Jesus know the hour?

A few things to help you understand better.
Jesus Christ did not come to earth with his full glory and Majesty hence he prayed to the Father, John 17:5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
He also did not come to earth full with knowledge and wisdom, like you and I, he had to learn and grow.
Hebrews 5:8-9
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Luke 2:52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

It was only after his resurrection that all powers were given to him.
Matt. 28 Verses 18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
So does he know the hour of his coming? Yes. But his time on earth was a growing and learning stage. It was only when he overcame that all things were given unto him.

Revelation 21:7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things

Daejumong:
‘Jesus Christ is NOT GOD, He is a Prophet and Messenger of God!’ - This was displayed on a banner in front of a Mosque in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria recently and caused a lot of uproar among Christians!

Looking critically at the Bible, is Jesus really God or the son of God? Does He have equal powers as God? Does He always share same ideas as God?(Rebuking his disciples who wanted to call down fire like Elijah,modifying the laws of Moses,asking why His Father forgot Him on the cross and many others).

Why would Jesus have to pray to God all the time if He was God? Why would He teach us in the Lord’s Prayer to pray to His Heavenly Father? Why did the father send Him to die for the world?

Jesus is currently seated at the right hand of God in heaven(Mark16:19,Heb 1:3). This invariably confirms He is not God but the son of God! He answers unto God and He is not completely equal to God. However, He might have played the role of a messenger of God and prophet in the world but that doesn’t remove from the fact He is the son of God(John 3:16).

What does it mean to be God?
Did the bible declare that Jesus is God?
Isaiah 9:6 The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
So clearly, Jesus is God.
But if your question was, is he the same person as his Father, then the answer will be No.
My questions to you are,
What does it mean to be God?
If a God has a son, what do you expect that son to be?
Clue, if a Lion has a son what will the son be?

ChizzyBuna:
my mother was the first that went to village to clean and get our village house ready.

Meanwhile my dad excuse for not joining her was that he has some workers his trying to settle their salary before going to village for christmas

Meaning he arrived village 24th night while my mum had been in village since 21st december.

Clearly my p man use that excuse to knack...SMH
Only God will judge that man!!

Now i just arrive the house in town and this man had the audacity to not even dispose the condoms
3 Beer bottles litrerd on the floor
Asin i just dey regret entering his room. I no fit look that man the same again

You should have cleaned the room. Then continued to mind your business.
And who told you that your mother doesn't know he isn't the most faithful husband?

And some idiot will be fighting for Gaza when our own country is under fire.
It's time for us to start thinking and fighting for our country. It's Christmas in Gaza compared to Nigeria.

IyaTola:
None but a deeper look at the Tax reform bill is that we technically moving to regional government laced with a federating states.

Still how does that solve our problems. Regional government is not possible without regions. We no longer have regions, we now have states

michroskrve:
You that is talking, do you oay Tax?

More than you can imagine.

IyaTola:


The reason the tax reform bill must be implemented otherwise, we would be running in circles.

Mention on country that improved it economy because it increased taxes?

veraponpo:
Nigeria just needs to build our real economy by producing things we consume and if possible increase our export.

Once we can do that, the rate of inflation will go down and naira will appreciate in value. What we were having before was a cosmetic growth not built on the fundamental foundation of economic development. It was solely on crude export, fixed exchange rate that skewed towards the elite that had political influence thereby create arbitrage for only a select few. That was not sustainable which was why Nigeria could not meet with its obligations before

Our problem for a long time is the artificial growth we were having.

Let's produce food for our consumption and export, produce textiles we wear and if possible export. We need to reduce our consumption of foreign food and materials and encourage local production. Ina very short time, our economy will grow.

Easier said than done.

ivandragon:
You are the one that has some infantile fixation on my 'irrelevant' comment and keeps running around in circles trying to justify your lack of understanding.

Oya nah no problem you can run off. Enjoy

madridguy:
May Allah grant Professor Ishaq Akintola long life, good health fili idimot il-Islam. Amin.

I can see some posters attacking him already, what Prof. is saying is simple, GOTV should not force any religious show on anyone. Imagine sitting down, tune your TV to Supersport 1-3 to watch live football, and what you see is a Moulid program...or you tune your TV to Blitz to catch some football highlights and what they're airing is people doing Hajj/Humurah in Saudi Arabia.

Thanks Prof. once again.

You mean a private company should not have the right to decide what program to show on their channel?
You guys always take things too far.
If gotv likes, let them show juju programs on all their channels, they should have the right to do so and you have the right to subscribe to them or not. Why must this be an issue.

ivandragon:
It was not meaningful or impactful to you because you you already had a preconceived notion or opinion, which you are entitled to. You need to stop trying to throw your weight around when you cannot grasp or understand a comment.

You are still refusing to understand. I fully get your comment. It was clear enough but completely irrelevant.
Again, you have had the opportunity to make useful comment but you seem fixed on defending your past comment. Let's move on, we shouldn't beat this issue to death. It's not worth it.

ivandragon:
You are the one making a mountain out of a molehill.

My comment was clear for those with sound reasoning.

Yes your comment was clear but not really meaningful or impactful. If your argument is about the clarity of your comment, I give it to you, it was very clear
And you need to stop being defensive

ivandragon:
And how does your opinion neglect the fact that blue collar jobs are essential to any economy?

You people need to read to understand comments before you respond.

Funny you don't even understand my comment.
So does an economy need blue collar workers?
Yes.
Is the Nigerian problem a lack of blue collar workers?
No.
So let's stop wasting time on meaningless arguments and start tackling our real problems.

ivandragon:
That is a crude way of putting it, but Oshiomole is right. To industrialise, Nigeria needs more technical work force.

However, the socio-economic conditions and value system in nigeria does not give proper dignity and reward to such jobs, except on few occasions.

I am guessing his children are technical workers.
Nigeria already has thousands of engineers who are teaching in secondary schools. It's not about needing more, it's about what you do with the ones you have.

Salewa97:
The UAE authorities should investigate the activities of the Israeli in their country.

There are many Israeli spies in the UAE.

They don't need to. You can do all the investigation for them since you already know so much. Just post your report on Nairaland and the UAE give will pick it up from there.

ycat:
This is how they said Nigeria paid off its debt, but we later found out that Obasanjo and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala paid the debt off with right hand and burrowed back the money with the left hand, all in the middle of supposedly a good economy. It's like paying your microfinance loan and then burrowed the money back, who is fooling who. The lender no go kuku say anything until the loan or servicing is due, e no concern dem. When propaganda govt says something, people need to use their heads.

You need to stop embarrassing yourself. How much did OBJ pay vs how much he borrowed.
Mind you, oil prices were on the average cheaper during OBJ's time compared to your APC criminals.

You are very lucky, she is still a child and at this stage, she can learn anything you want her to.
Maths is very important and she needs to be good at it, no excuse.
But you the parent needs the advice not her.
The question you should be asking yourself is, what is the best learning method for her.
You mentioned that she had a weak background in mathematics so I suggest you go back to the basics.
Go as far back as you need. Start from primary 1 mathematics if needs be. Slowly build that background and she will grow from there.
Also, set a target of 10 maths problems a day for her with a price at the end of each month she meets her goal.
Do this and come back in a year to post about her progress.

saintbillion:
Ur brother just killed millions of naira. They give civet coffee seeds and they poop it. The poop seeds are use to make expensive coffee for drinking

It's better as soup than in coffee. But then you can go get your own civet and start a coffee business. We would love to read about it in Nairaland.

OboOlora:
I know Tinubu has caused hunger and poverty in the land but pls do NOT eat this.
It is a civet, responsible for the SARS pandemic of the early 2000
It is also known to harbour and carry the deadliest pathogens known in the world.
Consuming this might mean serious harm and danger to you....

Dey play

lionphil:
This guy just killed Timon... What a shame.

Bush meat world and cartoon world do not meet. One is for children and the other is for real African men

Rexymania:
Una too dey chop meat. Rear species of meat

The rearer the sweeter

trutharena:
All the spending was legal and above board. Nothing to see here.

Legal but unnecessary and above all, stupid. Trump did not pay a Kobo to be on Rogan's podcast yet he got about 50 million views. Kamara is very dumb.

RandomFellow:
The company has to be paid, and that, not below market rates. It's the law

How much did Trump pay fox for his town hall? The answer is zero dollars.
Kamara also did not pay CNN for her town hall so let's stop excusing financial recklessness.
Politicians usually don't pay media companies for their town hall events. Oprah seems to be the exception here

Salewa97:
Israel should be ready to face the consequences of their actions in Gaza.

The blood of innocent Palestinians slaughtered by Israel in their numbers would surely haunt them

You think life is a Nigerian movie?

Anither563:
The more reason Israel should not have been allowed to attack Hezbollah in the first place.

Oya stop them nah

APOPTOSIS:
Enough of all these madness 😠

Not until Israel says so

Padipadi:
Your points will be valid if you don't have negative opinion about the Church or cos Apostle Arome was a spiritual leader. If this was done by someone of other profession, you could v hauled them. That's total prejudice.
Church, Christendom have bad eggs but their positivity outshines their short comings.
Peace!

I don't even know the church or the pastor. And again it's not up to you to decide who's point is valid. You seem to have an oversized opinion of yourself.

Padipadi:
Yenyenyen!

Anyway, we have both made out points.

Padipadi:
This pastor used his actions to pass another good sermon. Discipline is needed. No dey use his actions to justify anything.

An indisciplined man can't teach discipline.
No true man of God will walk out of the household of God. He was disrespectful to God and the church. Two wrongs don't make a right. Do you realize that the church is the body of Christ? Who is your pastor to walk out on the body of Christ.

Padipadi:
Na you nor sabi power of God o!
Discipline is part of life and that angle was just the way it is. Person wey dem phones dey ring suppose don switch off, silence or put their phone on vibration.
It's common sense! Something closer happened in Matthew 21:12 when Jesus flogged traders in temple and drop them out. Cos He doesn't want distraction. Hearing ringtones in church creates distraction. Especially during sermon that there's meant to be silence for the msg to enter ya soul.

And after flogging the traders, Jesus presented one of the greatest sermons ever but your pastor feels he is more than Jesus Christ and he has the right to walk out on the church. Your pastor lacks discipline and respect for the household of God.

Padipadi:
No dey use unparallel scenarios.
Suiciders dey enter church dey listen to preachings against suicide and still dropping in lagoon. Discipline is needed in Christendom and such occasion like Arome own is needed. If you come my church and you don anyhow, you see anyhow!
Inside love, there's discipline. It's to make you a better person and shun bad behaviors. Even in court, phones are on silent mode or switched off so why is church different?
If you justify any werey thing, I go flog you.
Daejumong, advanceDNA you hear?

You really don't know the power of the word of God. Many people have found deliverance in the preaching of the word, many have found solution and comfort. If you believe that the word of God is not powerful enough to rescue the suicidal, then you shouldn't be in church in the first place. But you pastor got angry and denied them of their right to the word of their Father. It can't be defended my brother.
It's a shame.
The pastor doesn't realize that the church is not his. He is only a servant to God and the people.

Padipadi:
Google it.
Daejumong, Apostle Arome may appear harsh but discipline is needed in body of Christ. We don't want lukewarms or anyhowness people that lacked decorum.

Think about this,
A suicidal person came to church, hoping to listen to the word of God, looking forward to hear something or someone to give him hope.
Imagine the number of people that needed to hear the word of God that day. Imagine the number of evil and sins that would have been prevented if that pastor preached. But he got irritated and refused to fulfill his purpose. It's a shame. He showed no respect for his employer (God)
Remember the words of Christ to Peter, "Feed my sheep."
That day, the said pastor left the sheep to starve.
