Bubu4Sea:
Jesus gave us spirit of adoption, so its a gift not natural

Romans 8:15
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Since we are adopted, we are NO gODS. period

Claim down
Act 17.29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Please do you know the difference between an offspring and an adopted child?

We are God's.

Zechariah 12
12 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

Don't conclude from reading one verse.

Ebi2233:
But it will be in the mind of the people.

For your small mind. Look 99% of people on Nairaland have decided who they would vote for. You are too late. I advise you to go to the villages, there you would find many who you can influence. Trust me you are wasting your time here. Unless you just want to create some argument for fun.

Liquidpenis:
Leave Lagos to your slum Mr ipoob.

Liquid penis, I am sure you are a cultist. No responsible son from a responsible father can have such a moniker. Who are you to tell Igbos to leave their own city?

Liquidpenis:
Leave Lagos to your slum Mr ipoob.

We built Lagos so when you ask me to leave Lagos, I don't understand. If you said leave Ogbomosho but when it comes to Lagos brother, be careful.

Liquidpenis:
Leave Lagos to your slum Mr ipoob.

No I bought my slice of Lagos. We built Lagos not Tinubu. Igbos were buying property in Lagos long before Tinubu came to Lagos. Lagos is our sixth state.

Liquidpenis:
Every human like better thing.

You can't compare tinubu Lagos to obi Anambra, it common sense.

I would rather be a slave in Lagos than a king in the eastern slum called analmbra.

Tinubu for president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

APC ..... change.

Good for you, remain a slave and your children with you. You placed a curse upon yourself with your own mouth.

Ebi2233:
He claimed that 40 percent of south south are Igbo's when in reality, all Igbo's worldwide are not more than Ijaw.

Igbo's are not larger than Ijaw both in area size and population.
Their false population figure can never make them president.


Peter Obi fully works with IPOB reason you hardly hear of sit at home since this Obi matter came out.
In his Hero beer he has Biafra emblem there.
All he speaks of every time is Igbo this, Igbo that.
All those people you call Igbo's comprise of Ijaws and other groups.

I support no candidate but south south should know that

A vote for Peter Obi is a wasted vote.

By this time tomorrow, this thread would be dead and forgotten. Stop the hate

Features of true religion

(1) True religion teaches the truth that is based on the Bible, not on human philosophies. (John 4:24; 17:17)

This includes religious truths about the soul and the hope of everlasting life on a paradise earth. (Psalm 37:29; Isaiah 35:5, 6; Ezekiel 18:4)

It also does not hold back from exposing religious falsehood.—Matthew 15:9; 23:27, 28.


(2) True religion helps people to know God, including teaching them his name, Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 42:8; John 17:3, 6)

It does not teach that he is incomprehensible or aloof; rather, it teaches that he wants us to have a relationship with him.—James 4:8.


(3) True religion highlights Jesus Christ as the one through whom God grants salvation. (Acts 4:10, 12)

Its followers obey Jesus’ commands and strive to follow his example.—John 13:15; 15:14.


(4) True religion focuses on God’s Kingdom as mankind’s only hope. Its followers actively tell others about that Kingdom.—Matthew 10:7; 24:14.


(5) True religion promotes unselfish love. (John 13:35)

It teaches respect for all ethnic groups and welcomes people from all races, cultures, languages, and backgrounds. (Acts 10:34, 35)

Moved by love, its followers do not go to war.—Micah 4:3; 1 John 3:11, 12.


(6) True religion has no paid clergy, and it does not give high-sounding religious titles to its ministers.—Matthew 23:8-12; 1 Peter 5:2, 3.


(7) True religion is completely neutral in political affairs. (John 17:16; 18:36)

However, its followers respect and obey the government where they live, in harmony with the Bible’s command: “Pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar [representing the civil authority], but God’s things to God.”—Mark 12:17; Romans 13:1, 2.


(8 ) True religion is a way of life, not just a ritual or a formality. Its followers adhere to the Bible’s high moral standards in all aspects of life. (Ephesians 5:3-5; 1 John 3:18)

Rather than being grim, though, they find joy in worshipping “the happy God.”—1 Timothy 1:11.


(9) Those who practice true religion will be in the minority. (Matthew 7:13, 14) Those who follow the true religion are often looked down on, ridiculed, and persecuted for doing God’s will.—Matthew 5:10-12





There is a danger in choosing a religion based solely on how it makes us feel. The Bible encourages us to follow “the religion that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father,” even if that religion is unpopular.—James 1:27

www.jw.org is the world most visited religious website !!!

So none of the scriptures you quoted instructed us to be neutral to politics. In fact none of them is remotely related to what you suggest. The true religion would not misrepresent the bible.
Here are what the verses say.
John 17:16
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

John 18:36
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Mark 12:17
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

Romans 13:1-2
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

SO YOU KNOW THAT AND YOU GUYS ARE TELLING TINUBU TO STEPDOWN,IF TINUBU IS QUALIFY TO STEPDOWN THEN OBI IS NO DEFFERENT TOO.

Are you on drugs? Where did you read that I told Tinubu to step down? And even if someone told Tinubu to step down, are you a baby? must you copy?

Amb1045:
Hmmm

Tinubu took his state into debt, and Peter Obi took his state out of debt. Who should be president?

Throwback:
So Peter Obi is still stuck in this stage of the outreach?

If I was in the crowd, I will ask him questions about his statement made at the NBA conference yesterday.



If not connection, how did you become Labour Party presidential candidate without even a 1month membership of the long existing party?

Was it your entitlement to be a Presidential candidate that you could not accept defeat in PDP, so you ran out at the 11th hour to go secure it elsewhere without prior work for that party?

If Character is being discussed, would you be remembered positively or negatively as that political prostitute who promised never to leave APGA and that leaving APGA would mean leaving politics?

What is your Capacity with your poor academic record and your inability to grow the economy of Anambra state?

If Commitment was paramount, would you depart APGA and also depart PDP that gave you a national platform in 2019?

Rather than clap for a liar and desperate politician, ask him questions and see how he will begin to slow down on the fancy talk that is belied by his own contrary actions.

So Mr Peter Obi, the 2023 election is going to be about the things you say it shouldn't be about, and you are most guilty of it being so because you are the epitome of tribe, religion, connection, and entitlement.

You are the Igbo candidate who must never be campaigned against by other Igbo politicians, you are the religious crusader that has attended all the Churches you never attended even as a Governor, your Labour Party ticket is borne out of connection and entitlement.

Sir, you are a patholigical liar and hypocrite.

Shior!

You could have simply summarised this 10 pages into one sentence, "I hate Peter Obi."

Durabest:
For to mentioned children shows that you still need to grow more.

We are need to grow. But you need wisdom. You find pleasure in your cowardice. You want Obi not to contest for fear of defeat. You foolishly forget that only one man can win. You should have advised all others not to run let them leave it for the winner. No need 4 election.

Christistruth00:
Lagos is still Yorubaland

I understand your Pain

This is so funny to me, this argument and threats happen every 4 years during election season. Once you guys notice that Igbos would not vote for APC, the madness starts but after election you guy always cool down.
So it's not like we are not used to it. It's now beginning to get old.

Christistruth00:
Lagos is still Yorubaland

I understand your Pain

Baba how can a land owner be in pain. How can someone that enjoys the city be in pain. You are the one uncomfortable with my presence. You are the one who cant sleep because Igbos are buying up Lagos. Baba lets talk true you are in pains.

Christistruth00:
You cannot stop Yorubas from owning Lagos

The Almighty himself gave it to us

And for that we Adore and bless him always

We wouldn't stop them. We are kind, we can share. Note, if you don't have land in Lagos, you own nothing even if you are Oduduwa's elder brother.

Durabest:
I want to advice Mr. Peter Obi on what he need to do to safe himself from the highest defeat of his political career. I had known Nigeria politics long b4 these time,a year popularity cannot give you victory in Nigeria presidential election. Some people has these habit of pushing someone to their failure and Obi is about to be the next victim.It happened to Jonathan 7years ago,Obi should learn from history and retrace his step.From his body language i can see that Obi is not ready to contest but people with fake love are pushing...Obi should be man enough to tell us the truth.Despite the cash donations that is fast coming,let him step down for legendary leader like Tinubu.If Obi refuse to stepdown and Atiku happen to be the winner then the South should not blame the North for taken over after 8years of Buhari...

Baba give the advice to your children. Let them continue to be cowards for fear of defeat.

Warm your IPOB Thugs to desist from trying to destroy Lagos

It is not No mans Land

Stop destroying yourself with hate. You can't stop Igbos from buying up Lagos.

You are right, its my land, its not no mans land. I have the doc to show for it.

Christistruth00:
Warm your IPOB Thugs to desist from trying to destroy Lagos

You are right, I would warn them because I am invested in Lagos. Again, I don't mind handing over the keys to my house to you in 99 years' time. Hope you would be around to receive it.

Christistruth00:
Igbos are not a Problem but IPOB are

Christistruth00:

I am sure you must have noticed that we are moving from Lagos to Ogun state. Right now, Ogun land is very cheap. Hopefully the governor would link all the roads to lagos.

Christistruth00:
Warn your IPOB thugs well

Baba am not a victim. I am happy and successful. I love Lagos, I owe a slice of the city. I am better than most of the people that sold their lands to me. I came to the west with nothing. Today, I employ a few Yorubas. But you are the victim. You complain about people stealing your land. you blame IPOD for your crimes and you want all Igbos out of your sight.
Mark this day in 10 years' time. You would see 2 times this number of Igbos in Lagos. Then it would no longer be funny.

tomtomastom4:
I created this thread in response to the post on front page about ladies that date men who earn less than 100k. Below is the link.

https://www.nairaland.com/7292274/ladies-relationship-men-earns-100k

Of a truth, its not easy to manage such amount, but when one is already in such situation, you just have to manage and improvise.
Now like the OP of the above thread requested, here is the break down of how we make our expenses.

To start with, I was earning about 130k previously before we got married by March this year, but I changed job and the pay of the new job is 95k. STarted the new job around Feb this year, even though there was a loan I was paying off.. Need I add that my wife was working in a firm where shes paid 45K, but two months after our married, she quit the job due to pregnancy stress. Am sure ladies will understand.

This is our break down.
Monthly salary 95k
I remove 40k first from the salary and transfer it to 3 different acct.
The first acct receives 20k. This acct is not touchable except on extreme emergency. Its our main savings acct.
The second acct gets 10k and its for our rent, also non touchable. Rent is 150k per year. Before u say my rent is high compared to my salary, I like my privacy very well. and the cost of rent isnt friendly in my state.
The third acct also gets 10k. This one is for semi savings. This acct is touchable when cash at hand have been exhausted before the next month salary.

From the remaining 50k,
I send 10k to my family acct. I and my brothers do contribute 10k+ every month and its been used to run expenses WRT our parents and last born.
I gv my wife 10k for her monthly up keep. Its small. But its the sacrifice we all have to make for the good of the family.
I hold 10k myself for logistics and transport. I must confess, is not enough. But One have to strive. My wrk place isnt far. SO transport is N100 to and fro, thats approximately 3k per month. The remaining money i use it for other logistics. 4k out of this money goes for gas wch last for abt 2 weeks. And when we want to refill and there is no other money left, we fall back to the 3rd acct.
The remaining 20k is strictly for food ( On this food issue is where I "duff my hart" cos shes really managing things well and trying.
Sometimes, I really feel for her, cos this her pregnancy makes her to crave for things that is not on our food menu, but then when the money is not there, she just surpress the cravings. At times I feel bad.

The remaining 5k, for now is used to pay back a tailor who sewed multiple pregnancy gowns for my wife.

Its good to add that any small money I make like 1k or 2k on side hustle, I directly buy mudu of rice, beans or flour for swallow.

Its not easy at all. But there are families with kids leaving below that.

My wife is abt 5mnths pregnant, we plan to divert the 20k savings to buying baby things in preparation for child birth.


The truth is that the economic situation in this country is bad and so cost of leaving is very high. But then one have to survive.
But then in Nigeria now, how many percentage of the population earn above 100k. In fact how many jobs out there pays such as amount.

The only advice I have for ladies is that if you are not working and you parent family is the type need financial help from your husband after marriage, or you are the type of lady that is high class and wont settle for less or manage with your man. Plz kindly wait and take your time to look for a man that is RICH or financially capable of taken care of you and maybe your family. Please dont hide under the cover of you want to marry quick and then accept a struggling man only to start putting pressure on his head. Plz wait and marry a rich man.

Most responsible men wont really appreciate it if you are always demanding for things you knw fully well that he can not afford.


It is also good to note that no condition is permanent, things will definitely get better. A better job might come or my wife might get a job after her maternity which will increase our income.

The bottom line is, as a couple, but of you will have to work things out to improve your finances.

The title of this thread should be how I nearly survived not how I survived. You are a great man but let's hope others would not follow your footsteps.

Christistruth00:
Jesus Christ heals all hate and bitterness accept him and he will heal you

Lol. You hate Igbos. You are on a thread to threaten Igbos. You have written many bad things against Igbos in just the last week but you preach about hate and bitterness. Oga you have spiritual problems

No Igbo attacked Lagos, Just stop the lies.

Christistruth00:
IPOB that attacked Lagos are a Problem

You are a fake Christian. Did you catch any Ipod attacking Lagos? Exodus 20:16. How many Ipob members have ever been identified or fingered? You refused to point fingers at the governor for shooting his own people, You refuse to accuse the wicked APC government bet you blame Ipod. Baba, you be fake Christian.

PandoraObi:
Hehehehehehehe depression have started setting in, what success are you talking about? I own a house and lands in Lagos, who talking about charms when court cases will thrown you out like mere feathers, you think Lagos owners will sit down and watch you insult Tinubu without setting you right where you belong, you want violence and we will throw you out of our lands

Are you this stupid? No court would throw you out for insulting Tinubu. All this you are doing is noise. Come 2023, more Igbo would arrive in Lagos. They would buy more land and build houses. The Lagos owners respect my money more than Tinubu

Christistruth00:
And you have been rooting for People to loose their Ancestral Lands

Baba we bought the land. they lost nothing, it's called a business transaction. But in 99 years' time, I would be dead and gone so all this talk makes zero sense. Try and repent. The Igbos are not your problem. They are supposed to be your brothers in the Lord. They are among your church members. Stop wishing them bad. Stop being wicked

Christistruth00:
He doesn’t need to it will return by itself after 99 years

Baba patiently wait for the 99 years. What is the problem? why are you troubling yourself already? Again do you think the Awori's if they ever reclaim the land, would they chase away only the Igbos? They would take their land from other Yorubas too. The Igbos would be in a better financial state to enter new deals and even purchase Yoruba-owned land. So don't be in a hurry for 99 years.
