I saw this picture two days ago.

Quite disturbing.

What is he trying to prove now.

So that one rich man working in one big Oil Company will see him and like him for his cooperate dressing while Hawking under the hot sun and be like

"Hmmm...I like your drive and approach to work. I like your zeal and bla bla bla. Take my card. Call me. I work for an oil firm. Let me help you get a job in my company"

Somebody should tell him that his strategy is good but might not work all the time.

How many Nigerians working in Oil Firms or Telecomms will see their fellow men and want to help them get jobs in their own jobs.
Nobody wants you to rise above them.

My 2 cents.

The strategy has already worked.
He has gone viral and is already a sensation.
The number of customers he gets has tripled overnight.
Now a young man who no one knew yesterday has become a brand today.
Even before he went viral, His looks would have stood him out in his community. Because of his dressing, many would easily recognize him and relate to his products.
There is a lesson to be learned here.

Hello people,

1. Please, does anyone know why the bible ended in the book of Revelations? Did God stop calling Apostles and Prophets or did he stop revealing himself to man? Or did the men of God decide to stop recording these revelations? Or has he revealed all that there is no need for further revelations?

2. If God still reveals his word today, would it be as relevant as the bible?

3. Which is of higher value, the word of God as written in the bible or the word of God revealed to a man of God today?

True, there's no sit-at-home in Kano, you'll just send your children to school to be kidnapped, released, then kidnapped again, you know, just normal day to day business. You'll be fine las las.

Yea and you are only a few steps from that. When the violence began in the north, there where many fools who supported it. Today no one is safe.
The southeast used to be peaceful until Ipob. When I see Igbos support the stupidity, I just wonder.
Have you ever asked yourself, what is Ipob strategy for Biafra?
They kill some police officers and desrupt life in the east and sleep with protitutes in Kenya and expect Buhari to grant them independence? Or do they think Nigeria cares about their sit at home? If they like, let the entire igbo land sit at home for 100 years, no one would give them Biafra. Let us be wise

Emergingnation:
Lol ! Says fulani stunts that is suffering chronic of self denials....

Good you find it funny.. How many more people need to die before you understand that the igbos are the victim here. The other day, it was Dr Akunyili. Who would it be tomorrow

Emergingnation:
IPOB Giant is the greatest nightmares of this marauding fulani herdsman and every unity beggars..

There is no sit at home order in Kano. The nightmare is in the southeast where this evil groups have taken away our freedoms.
As of last year, igbo land was the safest and most peaceful part of Nigeria.
Today, it is hell

Great musician but a political hack and clout chaser.
Same with Trevor Noah. They both like to form politically important

richmond500:
My bad, I should have put quotation marks in the phrase "peaceful war".

BTW, state of Emergency is different from what govt is doing right now, SOE is brutal, u will feel the full wrath of the military

In Nigeria, we feel the full wrath of the military every day. Remember lekki tollgate

richmond500:
u actually have no idea what state of emergency mean, its like a peaceful war where govt will use unconstitutional means to seize power byforce

Already, our government uses unconstitutional means all the time, it just doesn't work.
And there is no such thing as a peaceful war.
U can't use war and peaceful that way

richmond500:
The killings in Nigeria has gotten out of hands, Buhari should just declare state of emergency abeg

No amount of state of emergency can stop the killings.
It's gone pass that

bobontop:
My wife is fond of kissing my 6months boy in the mouth. I personally don't like this and I have told her to stop it but she refused.

This issue in causing a serious argument in my home and I want to take a serious action since she has refused to stop it.

Please I need advice from experienced parents.

I was abused sexual as a child by a cousin staying with us and there are cases of incest around me. I don't want any of this to happen to my son.

The teenage girl staying with us always sees my wife kissing my son in the mouth and I am afraid she my copy it and start doing it.

Please am I wrong? Am I over reacting? Is it a normal practice? Please advise me.

Please don't tell your wife how to express love to your baby.
Also, kissing a baby isn't sexual abuse.
I understand you want to protect your baby but you can't decide how others show love to your child.

Seniorwriter:
Rearrange the name El-Rufai.....it simply same as FAILURE!


Pinned.

@Seniorwriter

You may joke with his name as much as you want but the truth is, the north rules.
The problem with Nigeria is the yourubas and Igbos who can't cooperate.
The north rules because it can present a united front and the have the population

Authoreety:
These women just want to finish this man kpatakpata...

Women can be so desperate in matters like this that I begin to wonder if it's not the same women that harrased me so many times while still growing up..

Meanwhile, say NO to rape!

You seem to be supporting rape and at the same time you say no to rape?
I think you need self-evaluation.

DoggoneDogg:
I believe you because you sound like an Nwafor.

If na Afonja I no fit believe because those people know nothing about business. The successful ones among dem na fraud or begging or asslicking give dem money.

Give Afonja 1m, na motor & party dey him mind.

Tribalism is a sign of unintelligence. The smartest Igbos have no time for this stupidity

Dtruthspeaker:
This is an unexpected response you gave here, so I can go back to presuming you asked this question in GOOD Faith.

The presumption of Good Faith dictates you have to look for the good contained in a matter and work with it, not the bad or evil.

For as God has Set, Everyone (including Him) Does the Good and is presumed to be doing the Good, (Hence The Law of Presumption of Innocence which means Presumption of being Good, Unless the-evil is clearly manifest!

Thus, it is only evil people who look for the evil in a matter, so as to call that whole thing evil, which is what you are doing and trying to do.

They ought to teach some basic Law classes from primary and secondary school.

So I apologize for I appreciate that you thought it good to look for the evil in this matter and did not know it was evil to do so.

Try remembering This Law whenever you read a matter, whether Bible or any book "Parties must be presumed innocent unless evil is manifestly exhibited."

And there was nothing wrong in this transaction.

Thank you.

LegalWolf:
Lol, not saying you should not criticize him but please be gentle with him. Perhaps, he may be older than your father and clearly you can't tell your father "Maybe you have brain fog or something"`. But anyways, what do I know?

Have you not noticed that it is those old enough to be our grandfathers that are destroying the country?
And Adeboye is good friends with all of them. They regularly come to him for blessings. Have you not noticed that every serious political candidate in Nigeria must visit the man.
He is the real don.
When I compare prophets of old to our present day pastors, I shake my head

When campaigning begins, they would all visit your church and ask for your blessings.
I am not sure you would make this same joke by then.
When money talks. Pastors bow

wordbank:
Sometimes judges behave like junkies, especially on female related cases. As much as women has sworn your downfall, judges will definitely dig their pit in between their legs.
A lot of innocent men have been penalized over consented affairs, but for the fact that he is an alpha, pussy judges will sway just to hit the simp way.

Na that hammer go kill dem nonetheless I don't support rape or any sort of abuse

Guy it's USA not 9ja. It's the jury that decides not the judges.
The jury is made up of ordinary people like you.

Kobojunkie:
1. You need to get a translation of the Bible in a language you can more easily understand.
God shows Him, Jesus Christ, what He the Father Wills to happen, and He Jesus Christ in turn submits to and does the Father's Will.

So, no, God did not first suffer and die for man before Jesus Christ did. Instead God Willed it that Jesus Christ will suffer and die, Jesus Christ in obedience submitted to doing the Will of the Father.

I don't know where you got your translation from but that's not what the Bible said. I says Jesus did what he saw his father do. It did not say God shows Him, Jesus Christ, what He the Father Wills to happen. At least not in the verse I quoted

Dtruthspeaker:
Men you are an evil as I have been feeling.

He is The Owner and CEO of CIA so no one can sack Him.

2) Even little me who has Cctv watching and recording my employees know that I do not need to keep my eyes on the Monitor to watch them. I AM VERY FREE TO TRAVEL AND DO OTHER THINGS until when I need to know what happened in my absence or the Truth of a Matter brought to my attention.

And no one can question my Authority nor my Rights and Freedoms, So is it now God you dare to question or even think to insult and threaten with Sacking?

You are very evil indeed.



I said what I said and you got it. But because you are an evil person and the only thing you see is evil, therefore, you are trying to put poison in a thing which did not have any evil in it.



See how great your evil is. Where you not the one who asked this foolish evil question?

Just because I presumed to your benefit that your question could be bonafide (though I suspected it was not) which is why you now saying what I did not say.

WHEREAS I HAVE SAID AND SAYING THAT GOD WOULD HAVE DONE WHATEVER HE DECIDED TO DO BUT BECAUSE HE WAS CLEARLY SHOWING THAT HE LOVED AND RESPECTED MOSES, HE THEREFORE CHOSE TO IMPLEMENT MOSES'S THINKING EXACTLY AS GOOD LEADERS DO.

Which is something I do to my employees a lot.

But an evil person will never like to see the Good or specifically that this matter was Good.

I am sorry you feel this way. It's OK let it rest.

Ayo081:
While I try to get you or not, Or you try to get me or not, I have been able to reflect on the kinda people God wants and will trusts as His shepherd (call it whatever, maybe disciple). Those that have compassion.

Abraham, Moses and Christ fit into this.

Like you said, I don't get you. Anyway thanks for your contributions to the post.

Ayo081:
Absolutely!, he is a covenant keeping God.

Reason why John 3:16 is valid. 'For whosoever'.

Except that Israel did not repent. It was Moses giving the Lord reason to spear them

LilMissFavvy:
The answer to your question is "yes", but the right word you should use is "entreat", because no one can advice God. You can also see the same thing playing out when Hezekiah was told he will die, he entreated God, fasted and prayed, and God heard him.

I believe the case with Hezekiah is different

He pleaded and the Lord granted his wises which did not even end well for his kingdom.
I get a loving father listening and granting his children's wishes.
In Moses case, Moses gave the Lord good reason why destroying Israel was not the best idea. Moses seemed to know better and a God heeded his council

Ayo081:
Yes, the Bible used the word sought 'favor from the Lord'.

Moses sought the favor.

Abraham did the same and God gave him a condition. If the Condition was met, Sodom and Gomorrah won't be destroyed.

Just like we should perish but the condition is to accept Christ and then everlasting life.

The phase, Sought favor from God does not change the incident.
In Abraham's case, God clearly knew Sodom and Gomorrah were ropen for destruction, the cities could not be redeemed.
It seems you don't Get me, I understand God's mercy and forgiveness.
I understand prayer and asking God for something.
But in Moses case, God was angry and wanted to destroy Israel until Moses gave him reason to change his mind.
My point is, he did not need Moses, he us many time wiser and more reasonable than man.
I can understand mercy and forgiveness. But thi's was not the case.
Moses points were 1. The people would laugh and mock God.
2. Moses reminded him of his promise to Abraham.

Dtruthspeaker:
And this is why Truth should be taught for now another wrong teaching is interfering with your thinking thereby giving you a conflicting signals.

This is the True Position. God can know All things for Like CIA Director, the files can be put on His Table. But He Does not Often Look into the Future. He does not often read those files.

He rather watches the players as a Spectator as they Play.

Which is why you see terms like "And "God Saw" Genesis 6:2/5 or in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah "I will go down now and see Genesis 18:21 which clearly shows that He was not looking before.

This is where you need to appreciate that God can See if and when He wants to, but He even gives us privacy, even though Cameras are definitely recording your activities.

Now you are going into speculation. Why wouldn't the CIA director not read his files. Such a director should be sacked.
You quote Genesis 18.21 and your explanation is thar God doesn't know what is happening everywhere at all times. Wow really interesting. You have simply said God isn't all knowing. You mean to say that there are things God isn't aware of at the moment?
Well if that is how you see God then I understand why you think he needs Moses to advise him.

MightySparrow:
The promise to Abraham goes beyond that. It became a covenant. Covenant puts a limit to one's use of power. You submit your strength for the other.


Having studied covenant for about fifteen years now, I almost conclude, why would God do that?

Later in the scriptures, God was looking for intercessors, those who would appeal to him on behalf of Israelites.


God is the only wise. Perfect in all his ways.

I agree with you about Abraham hence, he did not need Moses to remind him of his covenant.

Dtruthspeaker:
I appreciate that this is your problem but what you need to see is

1) God being as A Good Oga, who listens to the opinions of His Subordinates.

2) In carrying out the ideas of His Subordinates, He shows and proves to All that the opinions of His subordinates are indeed good and great ideas to implemented by others in other situations (Precedent) and David Followed this Rule in the case where Saul fell into his hand, even twice.

3) it shows that if you come up with a Good Idea, God can implement it. And many other lessons.

I love the way you see it but you are missing one key point. God is all knowing and all perfect.
If my Oga was all knowing, he wouldn't need my advice.
2. I don't understand the David/Saul analogy.
3. I have no issue with God helping us implement our good ideals but I don't see him changing his to follow ours.

Dtruthspeaker:
Yes they do!

To the Better Master!

But I get your point.. you are saying that even if God did not heed to Moses advice whatever he did would still have worked out. I think that is a very Good point.
But clearly, he chose he best which was to heed to Moses.
Just like a boss work listen to his workers and sometimes heed to their councils.
I don't have a problem with God but with that part of the Bible.
I don't think God needs man's input in his decision making process.
Clearly Moses had a great impact on God's final decision.

Dtruthspeaker:
Bad decisions are for novices not so for Masters.

even masters loss

Dtruthspeaker:
If only you played chess you would know that for Masters, there is nothing like a "bad decision".

Secondly we do not need to see the end to Win. Re "He sees the beginning from the end and knows what's best for us"

God does not need to look into the future to make any move.

Therefore, God was not going to make a bad decision, it was in fact a very good one. (Another set of Moves will follow but you do not know this)

He only wanted us reading it today to know that He can Listen to our intelligent opinion and that even if He works with it, We Would still be Ok.

Even in chess, there are bad decisions that is why people loss.

MightySparrow:
God has feelings. He doesn't change on his principles, but changes on execution of fiery judgment when asked for mercy. It is principle to change His mind to forgive. That is the epitome of perfection.

I agree that God has feelings. But change is actually the epitome of imperfection.
I also understand forgiveness. But note a few things here, The children of Israel did not repent. Again this was not about forgiveness. I was about Moses giving the Lord reasons why destroying Israel wasn't the best decision.
It's just like you are angry and you want to fight but your friend councils you not to and calms you down.
If you read Exodus 32 from verse 11 basically giving God reasons why he should not go ahead with his action.
My point is, he should not need Moses to remind him of his promise to Abraham

Dtruthspeaker:
This is just Moses saying "I understand how you feel O Lord, I know these people are idiots and they do deserve to die but you know that the whole world is watching us and they are very evil, so they would not see the justice and rightness of your action but shall speak evil of You and Your Work.

If there is another way, you can deliver justice without this evil bastards opening their mouths let's take it!"

That is what Moses what saying in giving his opinion of the problem/problems at hand.

And this is where you learn that with God your opinions are entertained.

Exactly my point.
We see moses wise opinion got God to change his mind. Moses did not want any hasty action that would lead to people speaking evil of God.
That is what a good friend would do, he would advise you and stop you from making a bad decision.
I personally don't believe that God needs man's council in his decision making.
He sees the beginning from the end and knows what's best for us.

Ayo081:
Did you read the chapters?

Exodus 32 and 1 Kings 11?

Unlike Exodus 32, in 1 Kings 11 God remembered the promise. I'm sure if God had not mention the promise, Solomon will use that as a point for forgiveness. Please read those chapters.

You can go further to see how Abraham pleads/bergain with God in Genesis 18:16-33. This things are written for us, I didn't frame them.

I read it, and I have no problem with it. It is totally different from what occurred in Exodus.

In Exodus, God wanted to destroy Israel but for Moses intervention.
Again I Genesis, Abraham did not make God to change his mind.
Maybe I am not getting your point.
So let me ask today, can we get God to change his mind?
