Oyo State people dodged a bullet when they didn't make h governor back then. He would have shown them pepper.

You people don't have sense
You are comparing an ELECTED politician to a politician whonis using HIS OWN money.

After so many years, we finally see a governor who remembers us in that axis.

Only ignorant Nigerians believe Israel is a Christian country. We have said countless times, instead to accept the fact they would rather be fighting you.

Seriously!
Na people like them say think Rivers State and Bayelsa are Igbo states

God1000:
No Israel on the list, the so-called christian country.

According to a report At the end of 2022, Christians made up 1.9% of the Israeli population, numbering approximately 185,000. 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians.
Imagine, in a country of 9.5 million people, only 185,000 are christians.


The worst thing that can happen to any man is to ignorantly support the wrong cause.


Happy Sunday nairalanders

Don't be ignorant
Israel was never a Christian country.
As in, NEVER
It is a Jewish state for crying out loud.

Where are the rascals who say the most developed countries are only full of non-religious people

Is this madness?
What is the usefulness of AC?
So because something is expensive, people shouldn't pay for it??
Has this person been to saber countries?
That's like saying because rice is expensive, you should buy garri.
Eh! Ńawa o

China has another motive with some of these debt

Colonialism by debt because some of these countries can not pay back China just needs something from them either there natural resources or there loyalty against US or something else

A fight for world economic power house is the game

As many more countries join the list the easier for China to propose Yuan as the world currency against dollar

Go and check Japan's own

The sensible countries used the borrowed funds to do something sensible
Not Nigeria.
We can't see anything tangible they used it for.
We still don't have stable electricity in 2024

To those making jest of them, think and ask yourself: despite the hijab, is the exercise working? Are they comfortable with it?
If YES, then shut up and let's hear word.

This is the first time this Baba will directly attack Tinubu.
He cannot do boju boju again. He has now seen Tinubu for who he is: a man who doesn't give a damn about the masses, and has no plan to make like easier for Nigerians except for his boys and cronies.
This is exactly what we have been saying all these while.
The entire APC, from Federal to State to Local Hoveremt level have nothing tangible to offer Nigerians.

She is just catching cruise and using people's reactions to make money.
Shouldn't be taken seriously.

This charlatan is not in Nigeria o

Only incest is biblically acceptable for a divorce. But many people claim that the Bible permits divorce if adultery happens. Some people claim that the Bible supports divorce if any form of unfaithfulness occurs in the marriage.

If incest is not the biblical ground for a divorce, why did the disciples of Jesus Christ say what they said in Mathew 19:10? Read the chapter and pay attention to the verse 10. Then, tell me why the disciples made the statement.

The problem here is hypocrisy. People want to be here and there. People want to eat their cake and have it.

If you want to divorce your spouse when he or she offends you, avoid church wedding. Do your traditional marriage or any other form of marriage. The issue is that people want church wedding but don't want the cross that comes with church wedding. Church wedding vow says, "... until death do us part". Nobody is forcing you to choose the bible type of marriage. But if you willingly choose it and fail to maintain it, you are deceiving yourself.

Choose a tradition you can maintain. Don't deceive yourself with church wedding when you are not willing to abide by its principles.

Many people are quoting me. Before you argue with me, read the article below. 👇🏽

Is Divorce a Sin?

I think the right question should be, did Jesus Permit divorce? Did God permit divorce? In other words, are you even allowed to divorce before you start talking about whether it is a sin or not?

The straight answer is that Jesus never permitted divorce. Once marriage is validly contracted, even adultery as some of you wrongly allege is not a ground for divorce.

I know this whole misunderstanding is coming from Jesus' statement in Matthew 19:9. I will clarify it. But before then, I am not writing this to give people a license to cheat on their spouses. As a matter of fact, you owe your spouse fidelity and faithfulness. It is their right. You are not doing them a favor by being faithful.

Back to Matthew 19:9 where it seemed Jesus gave an exception for divorce:

"Whoever divorces his wife except for unchastity and marries another commits adultery."

The exceptive clause, "EXCEPT FOR UNCHASTITY" is the major issue here. Simply put, unchastity is a good reason to divorce one's spouse.

You may want to ask, what constitutes 'unchastity?' We shall get to know soon.

We all remember that the New Testament was originally written in Greek bah?

The Greek word for unchastity is "PORNEIA." The Protestants argue that this Greek word "porneia" means adultery. This is why if you read the Protestant New International Version of the Bible, Matthew 19:9 is translated thus:

"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, EXCEPT FOR MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS, and marries another woman commits adultery."

For most Protestants, though marriage is meant to last a lifetime, but adultery justifies divorce and remarriage. This is because they interpreted the Greek word "porneia" or "unchastity" as adultery.

This is not true. And this is not Catholic teaching.

Catholic biblical scholars believe that it is wrong to translate the Greek word "porneia" as adultery. In the Catholic New American Bible, Matthew 19:9 is translated thus:

"I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery."

Here, the exceptive clause is: "UNLAWFUL MARRIAGE."

If you read the King James Version of the Bible, the translation for PORNEIA is even more interesting. It translates Matthew 19:9 thus:

"And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another committeth adultery."

Here, the exceptive clause is Fornication. And fornication is the sin of two unmarried people having sexual intercourse. If either person is married or both are married to other people, the sin is called adultery. Following this translation, the only way that a couple could commit fornication is if they were never really in a Christian marriage to begin with.

Many recent translations of porneia in Matt 19:9 used "sexual immoralities." That still begs the question of what sexual immoralities could mean.

In all these, what really is the correct translation for the word PORNEIA? Is it the Protestants' "adultery", the King James' "fornication", or the Catholics' "Unlawful marriage"? Even if porneia is to be seen as unchastity or sexual immoralities, what constitutes unchastity?

The answer to the above questions can be better clarified using the bible. I will give you two examples: Matthew 15:19 and Mark 7:21-22.

Matthew 15:19 "For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, ADULTERY, UNCHASTITY, theft, false witness, blasphemy."

Mark 7:21-22, "From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, UNCHASTITY, theft, murder, ADULTERY, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly."

Pay attention to this: Adultery and unchastity are both prohibited in the texts above. If you read the Greek text, it is "porneia" that is translated as unchastity, in some bible it is translated as sexual immorality. While the Greek word "moicheia" is translated as adultery. Therefore, from these passages, we can see that porneia does not mean adultery as that would be an unnecessary repetition.

The word for adultery in Greek is 'moicheia.' If the author of Matthew 19:9 felt that Christ was talking about adultery, he wouldn't have used 'porneia' which means unchastity.

This is Matthew 19:9 in its original Greek

λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐπὶ ΠΟΡΝΕΊΑΙ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, ΜΟΙΧΑ͂ΤΑΙ.

I have put into capital letters two words:
πορνείᾳ (porneia) and μοιχᾶται (moichatai — verb form)

If the Bible intended that adultery is a ground for divorce, the two words would have been moicheia. And it will read thus: "I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for ADULTERY, and marries another woman commits ADULTERY."

But fortunately or unfortunately, that is not how it was written in the Bible.

If you read Act 15:28-29, the Apostles addressed the Gentiles prohibiting four things:

"For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain (1) from what has been sacrificed to idols, and (2) from blood and (3) from what is strangled and (4) from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." RSV (inserted numbers, mine)

Take note of the number (4), still talking about Porneia or Unchastity. These four prohibitions above came from a deep-rooted Jewish tradition found in Leviticus 17 and 18.

If you read Leviticus through, you will discover that in chapter 18, what the Jews mean by unchastity or Porneia was explicitly explained. It was simply an incestuous marriage. Having sexual intercourse with a close relative was greatly forbidden, not to talk of marriage. For the Jews, marriage of this nature is unlawful. This was what Christ was referring to in Matthew 19:9. It is a reference to an unlawful and thus invalid marriage. It is not a reference, as Protestants view it, to a specific act committed during a legitimate "life-long marriage.

Jesus' teaching on divorce was revolutionary. Remember that it was to answer the Jews who thought that one could divorce his wife for some reasons that made Jesus to give the answer he gave. If Jesus permitted divorce, what then makes his teaching different from the one Moses taught the Jews in the OT?

If Christ's teaching on divorce was that simple, how can one explain the surprise that surrounded the disciples when they responded in the next verse?

Matthew 19: 10, "(His) disciples said to him, 'If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.'"

Just because he is exposing the sins of Customs and Customs Officers and their deep friendship with smugglers and corruption.
This is what we call Corruption/Evil Fighting Back.
As usual, only APC supporters will support this nonsense

In the North?

Tareq1105:


The steps Tinubu is taking, Obi couldn't have taken such steps.

Does Obi the cricket voice have liver to step on toes?

Who born am?

Are you kidding?
Tinubu has no compassion.
It shows he doesn't really give a damn about the populace, only himself and his cronies.
He didn't give people time to adjust, he didn't provide things in place to make people manage before removing subsidy and other useless policies.
Stop defending nonsense.

This man is representing Peter Obi well. I won't say Labour Party.
This is a sign of things we would have enjoyed had Obi been president.
Shame on APC. they should learn from this.
Not everything should be about politics. Focus on governance. It is easy. That way, people will love and support you and you won't have to 'biy' their support or waste money and time on propaganda.

Alexiiydon:
then you’re dumb to quote me and say rubbish to show how stupid you are

Sighs
This shows you probably have home training but don't know how to apply it.
Grow up. Abuses take you nowhere.

Alexiiydon:
it’s for the less privileged and if you want it so badly I can share the locations maybe you will come from IMO to Lagos

Hahahahaha
You think anyone who opposes APC is an Igbo person.
Dude, I am in the South West. And I ain't Igbo.
I am a full fledged Yoruba man

Alexiiydon:
why I go post pictures since such didn’t happen in your state you will always be angry and if you really want to be so sure come to Lagos

Lagos ko, Calabar ni
Lagos where you should be enjoying very well. They are treating you anyhow, and you are praising them.
I can say it again categorically that you didn't enjoy the Ounjẹ Eko or whatever you call it.
Stop defending mediocrity. Fight for your rights.
The governor is your servant, not a master you should be getting crumbs from.

It is very common to many women in Nigeria.
They expect to be taken care of by someone else.
The only human beings they are willing to cater and take care of are their children and siblings.

Alexiiydon:
meaning you’re just a clown 🤡 and a zombie 🧟‍♂️ so you didn’t eat about ounje EKO ...and tell me what your governor did for your state zombie 🧟‍♂️

I dey laugh o
As long as APC is in power, I don't expect anything tangible from them. They are failures and they don't bother to hide it.
My governor is also an APC governor.
I am very sure the ounjẹ Eko no reach your side. Very sure.
Post pictures, let's see
