ceejay80s: He is lying, he sells the human part more than the price he is mentioning. The names of the churches and pastors etc is what we need and it should be on national tv

When he mentions it, you will be surprised its not the jet flying once people like to criticize. It will still be this wretched white garment wearing "churches"

omo west: Na wa oo! So you are clarifying between pastors because of the bad deeds, but you dont want to clarify between BH and muslim ..... I hate ppl that do not always be realistic in dealing with issues mostly in thIs country, religion will never allow us to move forward bcus we are all brainwashed, so if one of the great Nigeria pastor is guilty of thIs, will you tell me he is not a pastor? Let call a spade a spade

If they write that an Imam is making money ritual I will not believe he is a true Imam, because your prophet the founder of Islam never did nor encouraged that but if it is terrorism or paedophilia I will simply say they are following his foot steps; in fact those not acting the same way are not true muslims because because they are not following the foot steps of their founder. Even before Muhamed, Ishmael your great grand father was a terrorists that tormented Isaac so terrorism runs in the blood

I will not be surprised if one Nlander runs his mouth against the church over this. The words church, pastor etc are so abused these days that ignoramus believe it. Last tima I saw some never-do-wells sleeping wt a woman under the pretext of praying for her to concieve and the medi carried it as "pastors". When you dupe in God's name u are called a pastor. Funny!

Another argument I hear most Muslims make when criticized for terrorism is to take people back to history when the "church" killed people en mass

Let me make it clear here Christianity was carved from Christ by those who observed the similarity of some people's life to that of Christ. Jesus is our model and unlike other religious leaders, he never killed nor married an underage. Judge who is a christian by the Christ he exhibits.

I don't know about you but since I became very active on Nairaland, I have noticed certain certain issues that have be come redundant due to overuse. It starts looking as if we lsack creative subjects to keep the forum running
1. Tonto Dike's stories: It used to be interesting now its annoying. I don't know which of the moderators is benefitin from this cheap publicity

2. Pastors are buying jets from poor people's tithe: hmm! Abeg e don do. No be your money if pst Bimbo Odukoya get private jet, she would still be alive now

3. Proud to be a muslim: almost every thread, sm1 will chip in that. We don hear, if you have to be reciting always there must be smtn you are struggling wt internally

These are subjects that bore me I dnt know abt u. Mwhile I don't expect this to mske FP, becos its anti-Tonto promoters

He just acted as a politician not as a believer, when Fashola a supposed Muslim is breaking down some mosque for fear of its breeding violence another uninformed man who is more interested in how people see him than in what God thinks of him is busy raising further hotbed of terrorism. You want to show religious tolerance to people who have no iota of tolerance in them. Just watch how they will delete this post or even ban me because its posted in their section

The moral of this thread is a Lesson for all Nairalanders.
1. Set your house in order before you die so you don't create more problems for the next generation. This wisdom is actually gotten from the Bible, God said to Hezekiah, "set your house in order for you will die" Abraham, Jacob and David all set their houses in order before they left.

2. Be careful what you do in your youth, you may live the rest of your life struggling to correct a mistake. It is best you don't make it in the first place. God is merciful anf will forgive you if you repent and confess but cannot guarantee you freedom from the consequences of your action.

3. Why waste your life fighting for what you can achieve on your own. Why follow a path, create one for othets to follow. As controversial as Charly boy is I still respect the fact that he did not tow his fathers legal path and ride on cheap popularity already earned by the father.

Okay, lets continue. today we shall be looking at
Tips on Choosing a Good Domain Name
1. Stick with “.com” : The .com TLD (top-level domain) is by far the most widely accepted extension for a domain name. If you are looking for a domain name for a business then it is even more important to choose a .com for your domain name because of the credibility boost that a .com domain name brings.
2. One may not be enough: Sometimes, it isn’t a bad idea to register several similar domain names. If you have "yourname.com", register "yourname.net" and even “yourname.com.ng” so no one else takes it. You can register your full company name and a shorter, easier to remember version. You don’t need a separate Web page for each. Several domains can point to the same Website.

3. Shorter is Better : – The shorter your domain name is then the easier it is for your visitors to remember, the easier it is for your visitors to type, and the easier it is for your visitors to tell others about your domain name. All of these are good things.
4. Domain should reflect your business name: This is important so people will easily remember your domain name once they can remember your business name.
5. Start Now! – Start choosing a domain name as soon as you can before someone else snaps it up!

Is it the guy that disrupted that town hall meeting in US that owns Sahara Reporters? The picture up looks older though the dressing is same

What many people don't know is that American founding fathers(particularly James Madison who layter became the 4th president of the US) got their idea of the seperation of power from the bible. Isaiah 33:22
"For the LORD is our judge (judiciary), the LORD is our lawgiver (legislature), the LORD is our king (Executive) ..."

Any nation that will allow the Bible to influence their constitution, culture and way of thinking will rise to be the most powerful nation on earth(Ex USA). It is also evident from history that nations that have been influenced by the Qurans sharia law are the worst nations on earth today(eg Afghanisatn). And produced the worst dictators from Idi amin, to Abacha, Sadam, Ghadafi etc

Education alone cannot change a man only the Word of God which is sharper than any two egded sword can pierce the realm of reasoning and of the shallow mind into the heart transforming ones thought pattern for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. If you have not changed the man's heart and you merely educate his mind, you have empowered another threat to society. The more educated, the more sophisticated his approach to crime.

Whereas the school is the institution designed to reach the head, the church is the only God ordained institution designed to reach the heart. And the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.
Let pastors rise to their responsibilities and our society will be a better place

According to Ghandi, "an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind" the once that cut off this arm habe their own sins but like the pharisees of Jesus time, they know how to conceal it while condemning others. They are like painted sepulcher appearing nice to men but inside is full of dead bones, apologies to Jesus. The Yerima that introduced Sharia, also went for a child to marry and stories has it thay the man is very promiscuous. What wld I sday about Faruk Lawal-the acclaimed Mr. Integrity, that's how he appeard to others but u know better than I who he really is

Please let's not misinterprete the scriptures. Not putting on jewelry is always a sign of mourning and regret for sins. So when God commands them to remove it, it means God is surprised they are still interested in how they look before men when they are looking ugly before Him. In fact sometimes they are required to tear their garment and put on sackloth and ashes. They are all ways they used to show regret and humility. For instance in Africa people wear black to show they are mourning a beloved one.
On the contrary consider these scriptures

In Genesis 24:53 jewelry of silver and gold was given to Rebekah as betrothal presents by Abraham's servant.

In Exodus 3:22, 11:2, and 12:35 God commanded Israel to borrow (actually take as payment for slavery) jewelry from the Egyptians, and in 3:22 they were told to put this jewelry on their children.

Jewelry(Gold and silver) was a token of God's love for Israel in Ezekiel 16:11-13, which Israel wore. These included bracelets and necklaces, v. 11, and earrings, v. 12.

Proverbs 25:12 speaks of how earrings of gold enhance the ears
In the story of the prodigal son that Jesus told in Luke 15, the father of the sons(which is God in the true sense) commanded that they should put a gold ring on his son(vs22)
Even Jesus is wearing Gold in heaven and the streets of heaven is made of gold

There is no need for a response. Kukah said his mind based on his level of understanding and does not represent the opinion of most of us who believe nothing wrong with our pastors having the good things of life provided it was gotten legit. Oyedepo for instance has never taken any political stance, he is not seeking the favor of any political leader to be relevant. He is not seeking their favor for anytn.

I respect Pst Tunde Bakare so much, infact I campaigned for and voted for him in the last election even though I know he sometimes speaks b4 editing. He is still anointed and he is a prophet but he should not join the camp of the accuser of the brethren. Kukahs own is understandable becos the leadership of CAN has left the erstwhile cold catholic approach to become a voice of its own

vascey: Tell this to the jet-setting pastors.

I can see many people don't really understand what contentment means. Riding a car or jet is not a sign of covetousness or not being contented. What God checks is purpose and intention. I endorse the quote below 100%

Reference: Contentment simply means a state of being physically, mentally and spiritually stable in the place or position God wills for you at any point in time. It has nothing to do with dreams and aspirations, plans and progress. It just says you are not anxious about what you don't have nor call to question the place or position you have not acquired.

People who are not contented cannot do the will of God nor follow him because He will always appear too slow, too daft or too old-fashioned for them. That is one extreme. The other is that the lazy and slothful hide under this scripture and cover their failures with it. They should know this: God desires the very best for His people in EVERY aspect of life and good living. He just wants it at His own time, at His own pace and for His own purpose. If that is good enough for you, then you wouldn't err.

Its just like asking why many christians visit a native doctor? People do anything to get a miracle. Haven't you seen cases where people agree to sleep with someone they believe to be a man of God to conceive.

What keeps me going is God's promises and steadfast love. They never fail

solidbroda: Bullsh*t!!! As if all d guys in here don't wanna be sugar daddies too. There is something in younger women that you will crave for when u grow older. Younger girls increase life span for a Man. Well, its very certain I'm gonna be one. Even, if my daughter has a ripe friend and up to age, I can also be her sugar daddy!! What's thr. Let's Enjoy our Heaven here. Its sure for no one that we will make heaven. Heaven is here. Let's f*ck the young while we old too and make heaven here on earth!

No problem! Just Make sure you copied this save it for your daughter to read when she is 18. She needs to enjoy her own Heaven. And she needs to enjoy it to the fullest so she has to do it unprotected. Then also be ready for the perils of having a HIV infected daughter -that's HELL. Hell is also waiting for you here on earth. But guess what? It does not end here. The heat continuous

Second?

@tpia
I just went through your topics, hmmm! Now I understand. I saw topics like "most irritating Nladers" and u mentioned some names. I also noticed in "Hatred for Women" that you kept asking people not to derail your threads and that they should keep it civil; all rules you broke in this thread. I don't know u and not among those that come to Nland to insult people. You can't find me do that anywhere I don't even retaliate those who insult me; its a sign of immaturity and also against mu faith

But note that It is hypocrisy
>Not to practice the civility you preach.
>To derail another thread and ask others not to yours
>To ask questions about women abuse and call another person (who only asked "questions" not take a position) names
These are various inconsistencies I find in your life and I advice you as a brother to work on them

This thread was opened to help people like tpia. When some1 comes from a disfunctional family, he gets annoyed at eveerytn and rebels at the slightest provocation. All I asked here was a question believing African men would learn from the reasoning of matured minds. The way Tpia took it personal makes me suspect he has a bitter experience in that direction. Please go for counseling it will help

gboss4sure: Those of una wey de abuse GEJ as una no get Job, what punishment will be given to you?

Give them job. That's enough punishment

President Barak Obama has only two daughters. The implication of this is that the name Obama is near extinction in the United states after the demise of the president. As an African man, would you tow Obama and Clinton's path? If you are his brother, would you advice him to adopt a son in other to preserve his name? What does he stand to loose? Lets compare US and Africa for a while, are there lessons our typical son-seeking African man should learn from the US or is it them that should learn from Africa

Yoruba Movie 80% black magic
English(Igbo) Movie 30% black magic
so they called our movie station "Africa Magic"depicting what it portrays

Just as we use to think Indian is the headquarters of occultism as portrayed by their movies, that's how most people in the world are beginning to percieve Nigeria. Just travel outside Nigeria to confirm.

And now even our talent show is become Magic Show...Tufiakwa!!!

jodam: Check the meaning of talent. That will surely help. And mind you, this 'NIGERIA GOT TALENT' is not about region!

Dictionary.com definition of talent
 "a special natural ability or aptitude: a talent for drawing."

Natural not supernatural. If you have another definition plz let me see it
Talk about religion well I told u its my own opinion I'm entitled to it. I judge everything by its Kingdom value. That's me

Please can somebody tell me the difference between "talent" and "Magic"? I watched "Nigerians Got Talent" show on telly today. When I heard the Title of the show I thought it was suppose to showcase the talent of Nigerians but I saw a guy playing with fire and chewing broken bottles what I used to see magicians do. I am surprised the guy got to the semi final so I began wondering whether magic was also a talent

Anyway, I voted Toke a little albino gal for the simple reason that she brings God's presence with her talent and innocence. In a world where many loose their faith, abandon the church and play for the world all because of popularity and fame. That's my choice you are entitled to yours .

DISCLAIMER
Most of the people claiming to be Christians here or who claim to go to church are just mocking Christianity. Though that is not to say there are no abuses going on in some churches. But if your pastor does not follow this priority, its time to change your church
1. The Hope of Heaven- seeking FIRST the kingdom of God. And even here we have
A)false assurance- those who live in sinful pleasures yet their pastor keep assuring them they will make it.
B) No Assurance: they don't even talk about the hereafter. As bad as this is, it is better than the first, becos it is easier for them to repent when they hear the true Gospel
C) Blessed Assurance: they are saved, and live it

2. The hope of making it here: Jesus preached it. All those who have left all to follow Him will gain everything back multiplied. So the basic step is leaving all- to be sold out to Him. We should be concerned about advancing God's kingdom not prosperity, deliverance etc. We should preach it though and teach the principles involved not just from the supernatural angle.

However, the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, has repeatedly insisted that no suspect escaped from the police custody and that the police had no suspect bearing Sani Mohammed or Mohammed Sani in their custody based on available records with the police authorities

Frank Mba please be FRANK, this is hilarious.

Tribe is not a problem, religion without Christ and the Word of God is the wahala
