Tithing means giving your money away to another person to take care of his needs and loved ones.
After years of all the information out there, some of you are still falling for the scam and remaining willing tools for your predicaments.Why not take some online courses on finance and deposit your money on stocks, treasury bills,funds etc and see the long-term profits.
7700 x 12 months is a whopping 92,400 Naira that you might have to dole freely to your fellow human that just talks quickly by quoting the bible and chanting.

Insecurity is rife, people.Tell your family and loved ones not to jump or climb into someone's property.It's called trespassing and it's against the law.

Sounds repulsive but sharia law is allowed by the constitution.This was the similar argument during Obasanjo's leadership that didn't change anything.lt began first in Zamfara (home of Sharia )and later spread to the rest of the North.So far we have witnessed nothing but terror,kidnappings,banditry,rapes,killings etc in these so called Sharia states.

Kudos to you,sir.Marathon is a feat worth trumpeting.Most Nigerians adults can't walk,jog or
run.Hope, your fellow politicians will be motivated to join the race.We need to keep Nigerians fit.

I see a mentally challenged individual. He will struggle establishing emotional connections with any woman.

Anyways let him say hi to prostrate cancer.

No,Rather,he is a well- disciplined man that a woman,who knows what she wants, would want to be with.Such austere and consistent qualities are very rare.
He is also most likely to instill such disciplinary conducts to his children and family.
It is also not entirely true that those who abstain from sex do get postrate cancer,otherwise that would have been rampant among priests.Priests, Cardinals,Popes or other morality preachers are among the longest
living humans.

When you are fat, you are likely to get diseases like type 2 diabetes, High blood pressure,heart failure,gouts, joint pains, kidney problems,some form of cancer etc.
Most in the Nollywood industry are just like an average Nigerian that overeats and drink themselves to stupor, when they start making more money.

My ultimate respect to you Mr Kanu.l understood your outburst last time and most of us would,if found in a similar situation.Our president,many years back,was seen sleeping and snoring in court,in full disrespect of the judiciary during a corruption charge against him.It's a rogue nation,we know but we still have laws.You just exhibited qualities of a civil, well-mannered and courteous person.
Hopefully, this trial is closed once and for all and you are acquitted to meet your family and Loved ones.

Nigeria's Oil to dry up in 70 years.l hope it hastens up so we can have other alternative means to live our lives.ä.

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

‌The Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Gbenga Komolafe, has revealed that Nigeria’s crude oil reserve of 37.5 billion barrels and its 209.26 trillion cubic feet of natural gas is projected to sustain the nation’s energy needs for the next 70 and 90 years, respectively.

The CCE made the declaration on Tuesday at the Decarbonisation and Energy Sustainability Forum in Abuja.

The NUPRC boss who spoke on the theme, “Navigating the Global Energy Transition: Leveraging Decarbonisation in Nigeria’s Upstream Oil & Gas for Sustainable Value Creation.” also made a strong appeal to stakeholders in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, urging them to work together in navigating the energy transition.

He emphasised the importance of establishing a pathway toward a cleaner, more resilient, and prosperous future for Nigeria.


He also underscored the imperative of balancing energy security, economic growth, and environmental sustainability as Nigeria navigates its transition towards decarbonisation and net zero emissions by 2060.

“With 37.5 billion barrels of crude oil and 209.26 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and life indices of 70 and 90 years, respectively, the stakes are even higher for Nigeria. As you are aware, the oil and gas sector contributes nearly 90 per cent of our foreign exchange earnings and 70 percent of national revenues.

“The key question before us today is: How do we
leverage our vast hydrocarbon resources while embracing decarbonisation to ensure long-term
sustainability and competitiveness?,” he said.

Parents should guard and inform their loved ones and children not to jump over on people's fences or trespass on properties.Insecuriy is rife in the country and the landlord probably took him for a criminal.

You don't need a car.You need a land preferably for farming or as an asset that might likely appreciate.

Tinubu and his APC party loyalists should speak up for this girl and condemn the threats.You want the girl to be killed before you condemn the act.lt is insane that young people are being threatened for saying their minds.

Better jog or run for your health than standing on those things.

That is too much food.Gluttony is a sin.

Tinubu failed in Lagos and has been an abysmally failure so far as the president.Mr El rufai didn't do better in Kaduna, the mayhem in the south of Kaduna got increased under his leadership.Recently, his son tweeted and mocked the people in Southern Kaduna who are also largely christians.We need a better leadership and so far we are suffering of the lack of it.Buhari was a huge mistake and Tinubu is taking us on a downward spiral with no end in sight.When you find yourself in an uncomfortable hole,stop digging.

Excessive intake of pain killer or fever medications like paracetamol,panodil,panadol etc.If you must take them,drink much water to prevent absorption from the liver.

We have home made vehicles in Nigeria, what is the need to import?

And would you blow up Nigeria if people are illegally mining solid minerals and other raw materials in zamfara and other places in the country?Nonsense!

Obesity is a killer disease.Friends and loved ones should start talking to her.We must learn to control our food intake and do regular exercise.

People live past a hundred years in Japan while life expectancy here is only 54.That is a huge disparity.Think of what one could do with one's life with that 46 years age difference added to 54.
This is a health crisis and the healthcare sector must address the issue.l am certain this is one of the lowest or probably lowest life expectancy in the world.

It is always a thing of joy to keep fit. This is amazing and beautiful.Fitness keeps you not only physically fit but improves your cognitive functions.Kudos to others like Oshiomole,Gov Makinde,Gov Soludo,Rochas Okorocha etc who do make fitness a priority.
Someone should tell the president that his frail looks and frequent falls is majorly because of a lack of physical exercise.Health comes first,before money and executive power.

This sounds Ghanaian but a lot of Nigerian men are going through similar challenges.And when the man was holding her wrist trying to prevent her from hitting him further,she was quick to say to her daughter, you see what he is doing,insinuating that the man was the aggressor.
Nothing will come out from this as the man look so hen-pecked and seem to have accepted his fate,since this is obviously not the first time that is happening

Move on.Spiteful and bitter politics you all play in Nigeria.You were denied a ministeral position and you denounced and left the party you helped form.So pathetic and childish.l am worried about the economy and hunger in the country and not the vendetta politics you all are playing.

Hope, experts study this and know of potential hazards.
Maybe the quality of the solar panels, find different brands that won't ignite fire during the sunny weather or betterstill be mounted away from the rooftops.

I hope this comes to fruition, borehole drilling would become a thing of the past.

Fcwilly:
How come, was he sick?

Obese people often have health problems like High blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, stroke,gouts,some form of cancer, constant joint pains etc.
We must all try to never get fat by exercising more and eating less.

Good luck to you.Take care of your health so you can live long to enjoy your labour.We just lost Doyin Okupe,an obese bro.Obesity leads to many health complications,eat less and exercise more.

You got scammed by a scammer,lghalo.

Dpharmacist:
Hope you know that despite this running, exercises and all, countries like US still have higher obesity and other non communicable diseases more than Nigeria.

Yeah, but they have a higher life expectancy than Nigerians abroad and those at home in general.lnfact,USA,linda loma California is among the five countries of the blue zones,those that live past a hundred years.Our life expectancy is only 53, slightly above chad Republic.
Even at that, the obesity rate in the USA is higher among blacks than other demographics,with 80% of black women topping the chart.

Dpharmacist:
This happens because their country encourages them to do so. In Nigeria we rarely care about fitness and exercise yet you are arguing with me that obesity is mostly personal not systemic.

Though your choice is important but the environment matters alot. Hence why the Japanese has people who lived the longest aging above 100 and not UK.

If you have a nation or society that encourages a particular behavior people will do it. The reason the US is home to entrepreneurship is because the nation supports it and make the environment favorable. Harvard University labeled as the best university in the world is a private university not government owned.

So I believe you get my point now.

Our country organizes different running races in the country yearly and we have gyms and outdoor training centers,so I think they are doing their best with still room for improvements.
My point here is about Nigerians and other nationals residing in USA,UK, Germany etc.Why is it likely to find an average Indian,Turk, Pakistani,Mexican,Moroccan,South African etc with regular jobs, turn up in their numbers, to take part in such fitness event like Marathon whereas you can't
find Nigerians.We also find retirees in their 70s,80s as participants but you can't find our people of the same age bracket.I don't think their governments are calling or informing anyone to go run,it's a free choice from regular folks
prioritizing their health.You see now everything boils to personal choices,to run or not to run.

The lead cause of deaths globally is heart disease and cardio exercises like running are essential for our cardiovascular health.Are we saying that Nigerians in the diaspora don't understand this,judging by the
usual low turn outs to such sporting events?A lot
work in healthcare sector and should know better.What makes other nationals better than our
people on that domain?


I noticed you post on health -related issues.You can make some research on this.There are lots of marathon races globally.

Dpharmacist:
1 question for you. Are you obese?

No,l am not but l have fat people in my family.l am quite interested on health and wellness and often wonder why certain people or demographic can do it better while others are unable.
For example, l recently went through a survey on sporting events like popular distance running races like halv marathon, marathons,10 km races across the world.I was surprised that very few Nigerians even participate in such races.A race of about 55 to 60 thousand normal working class people and you will find only 10 Nigerians.These are races in London and USA where millions of Nigerians resides.

Apart from South Africa, the turnouts for most Africans is the same.Everyone must not run such races,but the often low turnouts,is a clear pointer of a people and their sedentary lifestyle.Any wonder why obesity and premature deaths is rife among
Nigerians in the diaspora.4 out of 5 adult black women in the USA is obese.About 72% of blacks in the UK are in similar health condition.For us at home, the government has failed, what is the excuse of the people abroad?
