Christianity EtcRe: Modernization In The Church! I Felt Odd by TheAdvocate(m): 1:41pm On Jul 02, 2023
Tzar:
You better look for another church where you are convinced that they are following the scripture o. Don’t let them use modernization to drive you straight to hell, like some churches condone homosexuality.
In Bible times, both men and women wore gowns and scarf don't misled him please. When David was dancing & they saw his unclothedness, it was because he wore a gown and NOT a trouser.

OluwaLina1:
Happy sunday nairalanders.
I moved to a new area(Student area) and decided to attend a nearby church.

These are what I noticed.

-- I was the only one that used scarf.Even the choristers and the female ministers didn't use scarf.

--Almost all the female members are putting on trousers,ladies that put on gowns/skirt are not up to 20%.
I was even surprised that the two female ministers and the female choristers also put on trouser to climb the church alter.

--During prayer intersection,I noticed everybody were praying in tongues and it seems am the only person not filled with the holy spirit to speak in tongues.
Even when we were asked to pray on our offering,people still prayed in tongues.

And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?
This is my response to you:
1. The white men that brought the gospel to you wore trousers both male & female.
2. Do you believe that God answers prayer because of your headtie or because you had no cap on?
3. Speaking in tongues is not modernization, it's in the Bible.
4. Members and men don't wear cap into church but the Bishop & Archbishop wears cap.
5. The white women don't wear headtie or scarf or veil because it's not their culture.
6. You made specific reference to the altar thereby restricting the presence of God to a particular location eg church or altar. God is everywhere.
7. There is no posture for prayer.

Another square peg in a round hole angry

What exactly is a police officer doing in the office of the national security adviser?
What is his combatant experience?
What is his war experience?
grin grin

How will army Generals , Navy Rear- admirals and air force Air vice marshals honour a meeting summoned by a police officer?
grin grin grin
Modified
Ribadu lacks the knowledge, training, education & experience in domestic, foreign, & military policies related to national security.

Most of the directors and other senior staff of the NSA are military men, will ribadu dismiss them? or place them under his command as a civilian?
Ribadu is also politician who took part in the APC primaries in the last election, he still have his political ambitions intact and remains a politician....a card carrying member of the APC.



Fingers crossed
Ismaila Gwarzo was NSA. He was neither a police nor a soldier.

What you said especially about Noryherners is not true but it's typical of largely Nigeria rural dwellers not to have social media presence. My mum who is a retired nurse doesn't even know what is WhatsApp.

PoliticsRe: Acting IG Egbetokun Due To Retire In 2024 by TheAdvocate(m): 5:38pm On Jun 20, 2023
Egoat:
Do you know the meaning of "acting"?
Acting IG is not a rank. That's why VP Shettima decorated him with the rank of IG. The word "acting" is mere semantics because the senate didn't approved his appointment. The word is to pacify the senate.

Unfortunately in Nigeria, a woman cannot commit rape because the major ingredient for the offense of rape is penetration. The best in Nigeria she can be charge with can be sexual assault but not rape.

A judge CANNOT de-robe a lawyer. It's the job of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC). The judge was emotional because of the interview the lawyer granted. The lawyer is wrong too because you don't address the press on issues pending in court.

They want to charge that one for recording people without their permission (which is a crime anyway)
You don't need permission to record a video. They may need the person to get the full video and also for the person to testify in court and thereby corroborating the story of the assaulted policeman. Unfortunately, the police in Nigeria cannot protect anyone. In fact even the assaulted police is now at a risk and higher danger than the initial assault by Seun.

PoliticsRe: Osun: INEC Not Bound To Electronically Transmit Results - Supreme Court Rules by TheAdvocate(m): 10:39am On May 11, 2023
tinsel:
From the above, we can see that Obi and Atiku have no case in the tribunal. What they are doing is a mere waste of time and probably to continue giving their supporters hope especially the noisy Obidients.
Unfortunately for you and your postulations, the Supreme Court can overrule itself and can change its position on a particular issue. The Electoral Act said INEC can choose any method to transmit the results and once it picks a particular method, it is bound by it. In this instance, INEC indeed in a press statement picked a particular method.
Again, legally speaking, no two cases are the same.

PoliticsRe: Court Invalidates NBC's powers to Impose Sanctions, Fines On Broadcast Stations by TheAdvocate(m): 1:24pm On May 10, 2023
lhordspy:
Maybe I am wrong BUT This doesn't make sense. NBC is a regulating commission, it should have the power to be able to sanction erring broadcasting organizations without having to rely on the judiciary.

Instead, it is the broadcasting organization that should file a case at the court if they are not satisfied with the sanctions imposed on them.

It is more like telling LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY, and other precautionary and regulating agency to seek court intervention before impounding your vehicle for going against the law.
You are wrong. Didn't you see where the judge said it's the concentration of too much power in an agency being the same person who will say a station committed an offense and then imposed the fine?
The reason why the FRSC now uses mobile courts is because of a court ruling such as this. If the police caught armed robbers, do you know they take the suspects to court for trial before a sentence is imposed?

PoliticsRe: Supplementary Elections: APC, PDP Battle For Two Gov, 94 Legislative Seats by TheAdvocate(m): 2:38pm On Apr 14, 2023
Debater:
My own is that Binani, no matter how corrupt people are saying she is, should be voted in in Adamawa.
Let's see a 2nd female after Etiaba in Anambra, and a first elected female in Nigerian history.

No matter how corrupt some women are, let's be frank with ourselves, they are better at leadership, starting from the home, where they are mothers to their husbands. Women who are corrupt exist, but their statistics are not even up to half of male politicians.

Etiaba did remarkably well just under less than 3 months then, flagging off quite a number of projects. She conducted scholarship exams all throughout Anambra then to get the best, who would be funded at the tertiary levels.
God bless women for us😊😇
My brother, Binani is not even corrupt compared to the governor who is facing EFCC prosecution and was even imprisoned by the court before his bail conditions were perfected.
He ruled as acting governor when he was the speaker and within 81 days of his rule, he embezzled N2 billion. Some Muslims will say Binani is a woman and is not supposed to rule over men. However, she is the present senator representing Adamawa Central. If she can be a senator, then she can be a governor.
The corruption allegation against her is that her husband was UBEC Executive Secretary and that he stole money even though he was never arrested by any of the anti corruption agencies or security agencies.
