Celebrities / Re: Defamation: DJ Spoilt Kid Apologises To Nathaniel Bassey by TheGift: 11:00am On Apr 04
Thundafireseun:
A clean hand fears no accusation…

That calabar boy named Bassey is obviously angry and hiding something

Oga, how are you reasoning this matter? What is so obvious that he is hiding? If he was hiding something will he be writing a petition that may expose him? Or you think he should just have kept quiet and allow people keep speculating?

Oga, think again.

Religion / Re: If God Truly Forgive Us Our Sins, What Then Is Karma? by TheGift: 10:20am On Apr 04
Kobojunkie:
That is nothing like Karma. What a man sows in this life is rather the decider of God's eventual Judgement against said man. God's Judgment is not promised in this life -- judgment comes after death -- whereas karma is believed to happen in this life. See the stack difference between the two? undecided

There is a difference between the last judgement and the consequences of our actions.

If you plant corn you reap corn , wether you are good or evil, that is karma. If you sleep with an infected person you catch an std, that is karma. You steal get caught and arrested that is karma. You do something evil and your conscience is troubling you, that is karma. Cause and effect.
Travel / Re: "You Have No Business Relocating Abroad If You’re 40 & Above" Abroad-based Lady by TheGift: 10:16am On Apr 04
PROPEACE:

Regarding the bolded, what gives you the right to compel others to live by your life's timetable? Some will do the menial jobs at 50 and live successful lives later on in life, some will be extremely rich in their 50s in Nigeria, but will spend about everything the have paying ransome to kidnappers and finally die of heart attack. We all have different paths in life.

Where in my comment did I imply that anyone should be compelled to live by my timetable?

I simply asked a question? Why would anyone be planing to do menial jobs in their 50s when they have spent their most productive years? Would you hire a 50 year old to do menial jobs for you when there is a younger more energetic person, that will save you time and money?

Anyway , to each his own. Enjoy your menial job.

Black man; everywhere he dominates is always riddled with chaos, violence, bloodshed, discrimination, cheating, corruption, wickedness, barbarism, backwardness and stupidity cry


Funny enough, Haiti is made up of mostly runaway black slaves from the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, they make up the majority of Haitian population lipsrsealed


I hope you are not “black” cos if so everywhere you are will be riddled with chaos, violence, bloodshed, discrimination, cheating, corruption, wickedness, barbarism, backwardness and stupidity- going by your logic.

Mexico and Colombia and other South American countries dealing with same gang violence are they blacks ? The majority of mass shooters and serial killers in America, are they not white?

What is happening in Israel-Gaza or Russia-Ukraine , is it not chaos, violence bloodshed and barbarism? Or because they are white their case is different?

Stop with the racial inferiority complex, and tribalism please. It is part of what is keeping Africa from progressing as it should

if you travel legally age is not an issue. I have fellow Nigerians with over 20 years experience from Nigeria working in the same place i work in Canada. They mostly came for MBA or followed their younger wife in migrating.

The a writing Nigerian person in his 50s still has strength to hustle even if na menial jobs.

But why would anybody be thinking of doing menial jobs at the age of 50+? Why do we have such poor aspirations for ourselves?

Many people japa ing are driven by fear and not by purpose. And if you lack purpose and expression of your innate talent, then your life will be a life of mediocrity regardless of where you live.

MadeINchenzen2:
so of what use is forgiveness?
Forgiveness is not for avoiding consequence, but for restoring the fellowship broken by Sin , the joy of salvation and sense of God’s presence.
Religion / Re: If God Truly Forgive Us Our Sins, What Then Is Karma? by TheGift: 1:02am On Apr 01
Mynd44:
Karma and the Christianity are two different beliefs hence God forgiving you has nothing to do with Karma as it is based on a different religious inclination

The inclinations are not different; the Bible says “ what a man sows, a man shall reap”. That is Karma, in a nut shell
Religion / Re: If God Truly Forgive Us Our Sins, What Then Is Karma? by TheGift: 12:41am On Apr 01
Karma ~ the rain falls and the sun shines in both the good and evil

Karma~ if you sow cassava, you will reap cassava, whether you are good or evil.

Karma ~ to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Karma = consequence for actions

Forgiveness is not so much about the absence of consequence but about restoration of the joy of salvation and fellowship with God the Father

Which Hausa person will vote Gringory Yes Daddy Obi in 2027, when they are aware that power is returning back to them in 2031?

Which Yoruba person will vote against Tinubu in 2027 when they know he hasn’t finished his 2 terms?

1. The Hausa people that have seen Shege and realized since Buhari that “who power epp.

2. The many Yoruba’s who voted Obi in the last elections, and the ones who supported BAT IK the first term but are sincere and untribalistic and open to try something else, if Tinubu disappoints.

P.s. it is not only Hausa , Igbo and Yoruba that exists in Nigeria. Thank you

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Matthew 6:1-4, ESV

Business / Re: Why Naira Will Continue To Appreciate by TheGift: 6:28pm On Mar 27
femisplash:
By a stroke of genius, the President had ordered the CBN be in charge of receipts of oil revenues, a departure from decade-long misappropriation of crude oil sales. It therefore enhances CBN's ability to stabilize the currency. The insinuation that CBN borrows to sell to banks and BDCs should be disregarded.

2. Clearing of $7billion backlog has done the economy so much good. Investors no longer have the fear of their funds being trapped.

3. Oil production is on a steady increase. Although, a component volume of it had been sold in the future, however, the significant increase in production is offsetting the shortfalls. Moreover, oil price is up.

4. The market is gaining back investors' confidence. Following MPC meeting in January, investors reacted positively, total foreign portforlio recorded $2.3billion in febuary, purchases of naira assets stood at $1billion, oversea remitances went up greatly, FG bonds was oversubscribed, all these helped create more liquidity and increases market supply.

As per number 3, are you sure it is not all of our current oil production that has been mortgaged ?

We are obligated to service the loan for the next 5 years with 90,000 barrels of oil per day. That means if that is all we have , then we have to give it up or risk an additional penalty of 2% of the loan.

Remember, Oil remains the source of over 80% of our dollar revenues m.

According to African culture a child born under a man's roof is automatically his child, you guys need to stop disturbing yourselves with this DNA test nonsense

Which African Culture in particular?

And that would only apply if they got married under native Law and Custom and not under Common Law and the Marriage Act.

If they did both, and there is a conflict of laws, then the Marriage Act will take precedence.

I have made no allegation,‘I merely painted a very probable scenario of innocents being killed, and challenged you on how you will deal with it if they were your people, which you obviously did not pause to consider, but resorted to insults

And YOU, Where did YOU get your information that it is propaganda, if not for your preconceived notions?

Looking at how you are just causally advocating for extra judicial killings.

Just stop for a second, then imagine if it is some of your innocent relations , young and old that are killed in the mayhem.

Then come back and read your post again, with that in mind.

This Court case is as useless as the 'p' in Psychology. Attend Christian Universities if you want to 'worship'. That's what Christian Universities are doing to Muslims in the South. Two can play the game.

And, Which of the Unis is a Muslim university?

This your comment is as useless as the “p” in psychiatrist, which you need to consult for treatment

Stop embarrassing your religion.
