kirajustice: Embattled Ex-pensions boss, Abdulrasheed Maina is seen in the video below saying that he is not a thief and narrating his side of the story.
Maina says he is in possession of documents that will expose the level of corruption in Nigeria. He called on Nigerians not to believe the rumours about him, saying that he never stole N195 billion and alleging that N300 million was being stolen every day.
The time or date of the interview could not be ascertained but it is believed to have been taken during the period he went into hiding.
The way this guy spoke in one of his interviews back then made me sceptical about the fraud case against him. This guy was almost crying in that interview and was ready for the senate but they just handled him like there was already an answer irrespective of his submission.
Only God knows the truth this government ought to have made a better arrangement not have him tried since they want him they ought to have given him justice if he deserves one and then use him
almarthins: My friend na lie be rhis , are u saying they spend N645,161 daily. Another padding case. Korokoro stealing.make dem investigate vc. Na thief be this one
The money is a huge amount to people like you but the truth is that a university that runs on private power supply will spend much more than that ... AGO at the depot is more than 200 per litres until just this past week .If they use two trucks only in a month, it wil be almost that amount
Firstly,,meat was kept in the fridge in their bedroom Secondly , she stole dollar and went to change it and got fake dollars ...Do you change dollar for dollars?
A broke nigga that's is worth over 50m . that guy mompha didn't defend himself about him borrowing cloths and stuffs from hush.
With this their beef, I can sense that guy mompha is the worthless friend. That's Yoruba ppl's character, they eat with u and later bite u at ur back.
I read about that Momoha guy years back before hush entered the social space ... The guy was a very rich money changer back then in Lagos nbeofre he cleared out for Dubai
sKeetz: To me I feel this is all a publicity stunt just like hush puppy's alleged feud with davido.
You say his broke and can't pay rent but he had 55 million naira which he bought just a watch with. What is house rent to someone who can spend that amount of money on just a watch. If he has money to buy all the luxurious items he wears, how come you now say he is broke. His broke but he could still afford to fly business class, buy expensive wears and live like a king. Are you saying all of this is fake. Did he photoshop himself in the private jets or the Gucci stores. Did he photoshop the Instagram verification too.
Come on, am not falling for this.
Comprehension is your major challenge .. go back and start all over , but this time , be very slow about it
ChangeIsCostant: A Nigerian man identified as Anene Jasper, has raised an alarm over his missing daughter whom he said was allegedly abducted during a church program in Lagos. According to him, his 2 years and 6 months daughter, was taken from his wife at Anglican church of living faith in Abule-osun, Ojo area of Lagos since last Sunday and she is yet to be seen.
EaglesT: The controversial Nigerian artiste Burna Boy flaunted his new car on his instagram story, it's a Bentley. He's definitely happy about it and we his fans are also happy about it. We need more of this from you! Pictures below
You need more of this from him, is that the music he is suppose to be making for you?
Mujtahida: God has no agenda on earth. Men created an agenda and put God's name on it and have turned both the agenda and God's name into a veritable swindler's game
I was going to reply you but changed my mind because it is obvious you are not a Christian or if you are, you are just a shallow one with no knowledge or understanding of the scripture.
Never believe anyone could be this ignorant ... God has no agenda on the earth ...He just created man and the earth for no reason
I don't know where to find freeze but he sure needs further enlightenment on Tithing.
For sure, any view you hold about the word of God you are sure going to find a back up scripture to misinterpret. Tithe is forever God's way of financing his agenda here on the earth. It is not paid or given according to the law of Levite's ... Our tithe are in the order of Abraham ... He is our father in faith and if his blessings are ours , then his works and walks are the sure path to them ...
Abraham never gave his tithe to the Levite but to Melchizedek, the king of peace and righteousness...Titles reserved for the most high God It is the reason Heb 7:8 says tithes are collected here by men who die but it is acknowledged by him of whom it is acknowledged liveth forever in heaven.
Let me stop here
I am a winner. Tithing is our way of rescue
FlirtyKaren: Controversial Cool FM OAP, Daddy Freeze has replied Soul Singer, Timi Dakolo who slammed him over his reply on his marriage and divorce post.
Daddy Freeze who asked Timi Dakolo how long he has been married, and further said the singer is a product of shallow church doctrine, wrote;
"@timidakolo unlike you, I haven't waited all my life to respond to you, why should I? Who are you and where's the sense in what you write or what you stand for? - You are a product of this same shallow doctrine yourself, the churches you perform at, where do you think they get the money to pay from? - You speak about marriage, how long you been married for? What do you know? You say I don't have the right to comment on marriage, who gave you the license to comment? - I was married for 10 whole years, you dingbat! If I can't comment on marriage, WHO CAN? - You call my teachings 'demonic', why don't you back yours up with the Bible? My demonic teachings have full biblical support, how would you know? Do you read your bible? - You follow pastors like sheep up and down, is it now paining you that they could be giving more gigs to younger artists, and you are now crying on the internet? - Do you think I'm so stupid as not to know what that forlorn dirge you pasted on the internet about (ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE BUILDING YOUR DREAM OR THE PASTOR'S OWN..) stood for? - You say you give tithe and offering to God when you give it to a pastor, is that what God said in Deuteronomy 14:22-26 or in Nehemiah 10:38? Do you have a copy of the Bible at all? I suggest you get yourself one. - I shouldn't be educating you, but do read from Matthew 25:32 to know what it takes to "give money to God" and pastor or man of God isn't in the equation. - You don't know shit about my marriage, so you have no right whatsoever to comment on it, I didn't comment on yours, or how you are handling it, so don't get personal, your life is far from perfect. - Typing in caps is shouting your words, NOT YOUR MESSAGE, which remains as vacuous as the writer. - You lost respect for me? I never had any for you! Sorry, but I'm not big on pulpit puppets. - Maybe if you spent more time writing music than writing for the blogs, more kids won't be wondering "who's timi dakolo?" ~FRZ - #FreeTheSheeple"
Every time I read the Bible , some passages always befuddles me. The passages that would list the family genealogy of persons and I kept wondering why it had to be in the bible. Then I asked the teacher what the message was and he said:
Trace your lineage so you know when and how the curse came in. That is the message.
These ones have started a new lineage today without knowing it. A lineage that will be hunted by this act of stealing from the poor. Every labourers deserve their wage...the wage of the labourer has been stolen from them and anything they say as curse will not only affect this people but through the seed of their loin and umbilical cord, passed into the next generation and unto the fourth.
Remedy is restitution and asking this people for forgiveness
eagleeye2: He means he acted in Zombies' interest.
. EFCC... should please spare us side distractions they want to cause now by tracing and marking Maina's houses. Please I dey beg them. They knew the Wanted person in the list was back into the country, but chose to turn a blind eye. So they should just continue pretending as if they were Dumb, Deaf and Blind. So that we can focus on those that reinstated the man. Thank you.
I wonder if they just learnt the locations of those property, this week even though the man is not yet in their custody abi na arrange whistle blower tinz ...somebody don position for reward
brightec: As the Nigeria Army kick starts its "Operation Crocodile smile" in the South-South, the 6th Port Harcourt division arrived IGBO ETCHE community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers.
They the community school, (Community Secondary School Igbo Etche) and distributed some academic materials to the students. In addition, the 6th division is currently on a medical outreach in the school of which an aged woman regain her sight.
The soldiers went ahead for community service by removing the refuse site located and the entrance of the community.
This helped to calm the fear in the community as residents were in chaos last Tuesday when the soldiers arrived, people were running to withdraw their children from school
Applying abecedarian solution to a fundamental challenge ..... they tried kudo but that is scarcely a solution expected from such an institution towards refuse management
IForgotMyLoginD: Awww the crown prince is not in the picture. Probably busy on some royal assignment.
Someone once told me the king can’t be in the same with the crown prince .that they will never meet in person ,for life ..plenty stories I don’t even know facts from myths.
I was of the opinion that the Oba doesn’t show his teeth in public .... from the coronation pictures then he was seen covering his mouth with an handkerchief even his wives
AutoJoshNG: We all know BMW fans in Nigeria are core enthusiasts.. they have the BMW Club of Nigeria, they do racing competitions, BMW shows and they every had a BMW Festival on Saturday. But is anyone that hardcore to drop a whooping N30million for this 1985 BMW 323i (E30)?
It's almost brand new with mileage as low as just 260km from birth. It has a 2.3 liter straight six engine with 150 horsepower. It also comes with a five-speed manual transmission.
As obvious from the pictures, the car looks as clean as new and the owner is asking for only $82,000 for this car to be yours.
Would you buy this or a 2017 BMW M3 instead? Tell us in the comment section.
Why that amount when it is not that scarce in Nigeria maybe for their side .... this very model is still plying our roads even if not as new as this one .
CastedDude: Online users can't get enough of this trending photo after it was posted online. According to the social media user who shared this, a man decided to have fun with his partner as he took her to the beach. But what caught the attention of most people - was the couple's dressing most especially the lady who covered herself in a Burka from head to toe.
Netizens are trying to comprehend how and why the lady felt comfortable in wearing such cloth to the beach instead of wearing a relaxing outfit.
The duo were spotted happily at a beach in the northern part of Nigeria.
jayson87: I assure you there is no blessing in that giving. There are 10 of thousands of hungry people in his constituency. He should have bought relief materials for them with that salary
God is not stupid. You can appeal to man but stink to God
Who are you assuring, he moved from being a salary earner to being your fourth official citizen.
Assurance PLC , compare your blessing to that and tell us how you fare.... I assure you, you are of no consequence.
wirinet: When i start getting salary? Well, this is an anonymous forum so there is not need boasting of our achievements. For your information, i graduated from OAU and i did not pay tuition fees.
Good. Go back there and give them six months of your salary or are you an anonymous Dangote, then start a welfare scheme in your state and send all the poor to OAU..... stop analyzing another man’s personal decision ... his money , his life
omenka: Nonsense. All these are for nothing but to shore up ones political capital.
Nigerian politicians understand how extraordinarily obsessed Nigerians are with religion, so, whenever they wanna face the ballot, all they need to do is deploy this card, be they Christians or Muslims.
I would rather donate such huge amounts of money to an academic institution than to ANY Church, not even that which I attend. The reason behind some of the worst problems we face as a nation is mass illiteracy and our politicians leverage on that whenever they engage the people.
Imagine what this country would have looked like if we had as much schools as the are churches and mosques!
Smh.
Dogara wasn't a politician 15 years ago.... he was a mere salary earner in one corner of the north. .... he gave it foolishly and yet has become richer and better than you even with your better intelligence and nobility.
This should be of concern to you that those being scammmed gets up the ladder while the clever and smart ones explain their smartness on forums
Ubenedictus: actually the Corinthian case is very much on point... it clearly shows an apostle declaring a sin forgiven with the authority of Christ and it has nothing to do with illness. it clearly shows that sins aren't only declared forgiven only during healings as you claimed. here an apostle declare a sin forgiven without reference to an ailment.
again you seem ignorant of the fact that confession isn't limited to a box, in fact it can happen anywhere and in ancient times it was done right before the assembly in some Christian churches, those communities only stopped public confession when some people started to use it for blackmail purpose.
lol did Jesus read from a new testament or solemnise Sunday... did he teach in gentile country? the apostles and disciples wrote a new testament, worshipped on Sundays, and taught in gentile lands, they had the holy spirit who guided them in organising the Church. even Paul who didn't see the Lord while on earth received by revelation. besides the Gospels didn't claim to record every time Jesus forgave sin for you to claim Paul made a mistake when he declared forgiveness even without ailment
The adulterous woman was chased to where Jesus Christ was and he said...any one who has not committed sin let him be the first to throw stone.... The woman was not sick ... she committed sin and was caught ...she did not go to confession but was caught ...... This ties with when he see your brother commiting sin ...you need to see it spiritually like Jesus always saw it in the sprit realm and forgave ... He didn't need the help of the sinner
Newman wrote that book before becoming a Catholic and actuaugaveit to the church to edit to suit their doctrines and practices but they could not but rather told him that he wrote it as a non Catholic.
That book traced the history of the pagan root of most of your practices.... Not just confession including Christmas and even the changing of the worship days to Sundays but as far you be father carry go ...make I keep my sword ...you win.... Confession na the real thing
Ubenedictus: here I challenge you to tell us the book in which John Henry Newman made such claim and provide the quote in its context.
I have read not more than 2 books written by card. Newman, he was an Anglican priest who converted to Catholicism and is pretty intelligent, I have a feeling you are misquoting him.
should it be different then it would be that he was only mistaken since the practice of confession has been in the Church from the beginning, note the following documents
The Didache – The Earliest Christian Catechism (pre-dating some of the canonical writings of the New Testament) “Confess your sins in church, and do not go up to your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. . . . On the Lord’s Day gather together, break bread, and give thanks, after confessing your transgressions so that your sacrifice may be pure” (Didache 4:14, 14:1 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas “You shall judge righteously. You shall not make a schism, but you shall pacify those that contend by bringing them together. You shall confess your sins. You shall not go to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of light” (Letter of Barnabas 19 [A.D. 74]). St. Ignatius of Antioch “For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ are also with the bishop. And as many as shall, in the exercise of penance, return into the unity of the Church, these, too, shall belong to God, that they may live according to Jesus Christ” (Letter to the Philadelphians 3 [A.D. 106]). “For where there is division and wrath, God does not dwell. To all them that repent, the Lord grants forgiveness, if they turn in penitence to the unity of God, and to communion with the bishop” (ibid., . St. Irenaeus of Lyons “[The Gnostic disciples of Marcus] have deluded many women. . . . Their consciences have been branded as with a hot iron. Some of these women make a public confession [of their previous heresy/sins], but others are ashamed to do this, and in silence, as if withdrawing from themselves the hope of the life of God, they either apostatize entirely or hesitate between the two courses” (Against Heresies 1:22 [A.D. 189]). Tertullian of Carthage “[Regarding confession, some] flee from this work as being an exposure of themselves, or they put it off from day to day. I presume they are more mindful of modesty than of salvation, like those who contract a disease in the more shameful parts of the body and shun making themselves known to the physicians; and thus they perish along with their own bashfulness” (Repentance 10:1 [A.D. 203]). St. Hippolytus of Rome “[The bishop conducting the ordination of the new bishop shall pray:] God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . . Pour forth now that power which comes from you, from your royal Spirit, which you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and which he bestowed upon his holy apostles . . . and grant this your servant, whom you have chosen for the episcopate, [the power] to feed your holy flock and to serve without blame as your high priest, ministering night and day to propitiate unceasingly before your face and to offer to you the gifts of your holy Church, and by the Spirit of the high priesthood to have the authority to forgive sins, in accord with your command” (Apostolic Tradition 3 [A.D. 215]). Origen of Alexandria “[A final method of forgiveness], albeit hard and laborious [is] the remission of sins through penance, when the sinner . . . does not shrink from declaring his sin to a priest of the Lord and from seeking medicine, after the manner of him who say, ‘I said, “To the Lord I will accuse myself of my iniquity”’” (Homilies on Leviticus 2:4 [A.D. 248]). St. Cyprian of Carthage “The apostle [Paul] likewise bears witness and says: ‘ . . . Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord’ [1 Cor. 11:27]. But [the impenitent] spurn and despise all these warnings; before their sins are expiated, before they have made a confession of their crime, before their conscience has been purged in the ceremony and at the hand of the priest . . . they do violence to [the Lord’s] body and blood, and with their hands and mouth they sin against the Lord more than when they denied him” (The Lapsed 15:1–3 (A.D. 251]). “Of how much greater faith and salutary fear are they who . . . confess their sins to the priests of God in a straightforward manner and in sorrow, making an open declaration of conscience. . . . I beseech you, brethren, let everyone who has sinned confess his sin while he is still in this world, while his confession is still admissible, while the satisfaction and remission made through the priests are still pleasing before the Lord” (ibid., 28). “[S]inners may do penance for a set time, and according to the rules of discipline come to public confession, and by imposition of the hand of the bishop and clergy receive the right of Communion. [But now some] with their time [of penance] still unfulfilled . . . they are admitted to Communion, and their name is presented; and while the penitence is not yet performed, confession is not yet made, the hands of the bishop and clergy are not yet laid upon them, the Eucharist is given to them; although it is written, ‘Whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord’ [1 Cor. 11:27]“ (Letters 9:2 [A.D. 253]). “And do not think, dearest brother, that either the courage of the brethren will be lessened, or that martyrdoms will fail for this cause, that penance is relaxed to the lapsed, and that the hope of peace [i.e., absolution] is offered to the penitent. . . . For to adulterers even a time of repentance is granted by us, and peace is given” (ibid., 51[55]:20). “But I wonder that some are so obstinate as to think that repentance is not to be granted to the lapsed, or to suppose that pardon is to be denied to the penitent, when it is written, ‘Remember whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works’ [Rev. 2:5], which certainly is said to him who evidently has fallen, and whom the Lord exhorts to rise up again by his deeds [of penance], because it is written, ‘Alms deliver from death’ [Tob. 12:9]“ (ibid., 51[55]:22). St. Aphraahat the Persian “You [priests], then, who are disciples of our illustrious physician [Christ], you ought not deny a curative to those in need of healing. And if anyone uncovers his wound before you, give him the remedy of repentance. And he that is ashamed to make known his weakness, encourage him so that he will not hide it from you. And when he has revealed it to you, do not make it public, lest because of it the innocent might be reckoned as guilty by our enemies and by those who hate us” (Treatises 7:3 [A.D. 340]). St. Basil the Great “It is necessary to confess our sins to those to whom the dispensation of God’s mysteries is entrusted. Those doing penance of old are found to have done it before the saints. It is written in the Gospel that they confessed their sins to John the Baptist [Matt. 3:6], but in Acts [19:18] they confessed to the apostles” (Rules Briefly Treated 288 [A.D. 374]). St. John Chrysostom “Priests have received a power which God has given neither to angels nor to archangels. It was said to them: ‘Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose, shall be loosed.’ Temporal rulers have indeed the power of binding; but they can only bind the body. Priests, in contrast, can bind with a bond which pertains to the soul itself and transcends the very heavens. Did [God] not give them all the powers of heaven? ‘Whose sins you shall forgive,’ he says, ‘they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.’ What greater power is there than this? The Father has given all judgment to the Son. And now I see the Son placing all this power in the hands of men [Matt. 10:40; John 20:21–23]. They are raised to this dignity as if they were already gathered up to heaven” (The Priesthood 3:5 [A.D. 387]). St. Ambrose of Milan “For those to whom [the right of binding and loosing] has been given, it is plain that either both are allowed, or it is clear that neither is allowed. Both are allowed to the Church, neither is allowed to heresy. For this right has been granted to priests only” (Penance 1:1 [A.D. 388]). St. Jerome of Stridonium “If the serpent, the devil, bites someone secretly, he infects that person with the venom of sin. And if the one who has been bitten keeps silence and does not do penance, and does not want to confess his wound . . . then his brother and his master, who have the word [of absolution] that will cure him, cannot very well assist him” (Commentary on Ecclesiastes 10:11 [A.D. 388]). St. Augustine of Hippo “When you shall have been baptized, keep to a good life in the commandments of God so that you may preserve your baptism to the very end. I do not tell you that you will live here without sin, but they are venial sins which this life is never without. Baptism was instituted for all sins. For light sins, without which we cannot live, prayer was instituted. . . . But do not commit those sins on account of which you would have to be separated from the body of Christ. Perish the thought! For those whom you see doing penance have committed crimes, either adultery or some other enormities. That is why they are doing penance. If their sins were light, daily prayer would suffice to blot them out. . . . In the Church, therefore, there are three ways in which sins are forgiven: in baptisms, in prayer, and in the greater humility of penance” (Sermon to Catechumens on the Creed 7:15, 8:16 [A.D. 395]).
this clearly show Christian practicing confession from the 1st century. so you're incorrect.
Ubenedictus: my earlier response was removed by the antispam boot, so I'm trying to rewrite so you finally agree that through the ministry of the presbyter sins are forgiven?
I don't intend to continue this see-saw discussion with you. .... I never argued whether sins are forgiven by the prayers of the presbyter.... I stated that at the point if Anointing oil, sins have been taken care of and since it has been forgiven at that point without confession of any kind imputed that you can return to re forgive same sin again in your brand of confession
The scripture says use Anointing oil in him and then pray and if he has committed any sin it shall be forgiven ...is it has been forgiven what sin do you hope tomorrow again in confessional box
The scripture went down to to say categorically, confess your sin one to another ...never to the elders but one to another ...... If this sentence was part of your comprehension passage and you are already what it means as used in the past we , would you give it the meaning you are ascribing to it: confession your sin to the presbyter.
This is common grammar ... It doesn't invite all the confusion and misleading interpretation you have tried to associate with it but if you are okay with that your view point , carry gon abeg
Elxandre: Stop saying divisive rubbish like this in public.
I don't know where you guys get this sectional spirit from.
What is divisive about my comment ...you guys come online and make unfounded statement like ...church members tithe and offering ...now I have stated how the members benefit from their tithe and offering you call that a divisive statement ...how?
Elxandre: You mean the school is for the church members alone right?
The scholarship is for members and rightly so..... If you have your church school ,go there and ask for scholarship...charity begins at home ...otherwise pay your fees or go else
