biblia1:
Who is talking there rather than Paul and an ORDINARY LETTER OF ASSUMPTION AND PERSONAL VIEWS to Timothy in form of piece of advice.
Paul wasn't saying that its a divine commandments but just an advice which contradicted plans of Almighty God Himself.

Isaiah 4:1 And in that day SEVEN women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Ah,I see what you did there...you makavelli...you.

The verse refers to a future calamity befalling Israel....where most of the men would have died in battle...and many women would have been left behind. (Seen in many calamites,including the end of WW2, where women outnumbered men in Berlin, Germany.

Genesis 25:1 Then AGAIN Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

A while after Sarah his first wife died., sports fan.

Hagar would have been a better idea, y'know...

Deuteronomy 21:15 If a man have TWO wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

As Jesus said eventually, the original intention was one man, one wife. But as you know, man does disobey God's word...so God essentially throws in advice to make a bad situation berable for the effects of sin.

Exodus 21:10 If he take him ANOTHER WIFE; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

See as above. In your opinion...God is condoning polygamy. In my opinion....God is providing advice for the mittigation of living in a sinful world.

Notice: Not all Paul advice in from God and Jesus teaches e.g

1 Corinthians 7:6 But I speak this by PERMISSION, and NOT of commandment. said Paul

dont be decieved i left naija 5 years ago and i have never regretted one day ........i own a house now ........and live in a civil society.....and have learnt to respect ppl.........Naija is a jungle anyone who has chance pls leave don't let ppl lie to u

I doubt she is really discouraging people from leaving....just people who leave sans the skills needed to get lucrative jobs there.

Am sure you are enjoying aborad because...1) You arrived there with a degree 2) You have skills the country you emigrated to needs 3) You have a degree from a university there in a skill that the country needs.

I have several classmates from my secodary school days who live abroad. All of them left when they had a university degree, or when they had gotten admission to read a course over there.

The people Ms George is speaking to are those guys who cross the Mediterrenean to go and look for work with no school cert, no degree...yet want to hustle for a unskilled job with the natives. No wonder racisim gets worse.

VocalWalls:
You need to have a skill, or a degree... not just a vjay or a name.

Maybe she didn’t get the memo.

It has to be a skill that is needed as well

HMM

If you are going abroad, make sure you have a skill that the country needs.

All those Oyinbo countries that hate immigrants, many of them dont like unskilled immigrants, or skilled immigrants who are coming to compete with the skilled natives.

Examples...the UK needs doctors and nurses...so they are taking in those two cadres. Japan needs English teachers, so they are taking in English teachers. And so on.

If you want to emigrate, make sure you are skilled...and skilled in what the country needs. Not the chap who has no degree, and runs away on the Mediterrenean...and ends up being some hawker for nothing.

As for Nigeria, because we have an economy that is based on sharing national cake, not on being productive...that is why we dont have enough jobs.

Kofi Annan....who replaced Boutrous Boutrous Ghali...who replaced Javier Perez de Cuellar...

Kofi Annan , RIP.

hush15:
Firstly, i appreciate your opinion and i respect it. However, pls i beg you, let your one vote count. I wholeheartedly dont want that old man back myself. he is more pain than any gain he has made in his whole life. A man that ask nigerians to make sacrifice on several occasions which i know millions have but he cannot make such sacrifices. Not a single one that i can point to. So, he isnt worth it as he has failed on many fronts and doesnt deserve to come back but that can only happen if we work collectively to do that.

PDP isnt a saint either but its the next most populous party in this country and as it stands, the only party that can give the ruling party a run for their money. its bitter but its the truth. Until other party can sink into the grassroot nationwide with a formidable structure like PDP, its a lost course. How often do we hear about these parties even now that its close to elections not until its a 3 to 6 months to elections and how many grounds do they cover? Those that win do not because of party but the person and that can only be at constituency level. At National level, its either its PDP or APC and God forbid the latter cos their second tenure wont be funny at all. I am sure they dont know how to capitalise on the present situation or they dont have the necessary force to gather the votes and Until other parties begin to push forward their image and manifestos in time, its all luck. They should focus on the house of assembly and NASS to spread their popularity.

So pls dont waste the one priceless vote of yours. pls, lets bear this PDP one more time if we both want this government out. They wont be easy to beat except nigerians show oneness. they have shown tendencies to subdue peoples will and votes using security apparatus and executive powers and frankly speaking, they dont mind violence either.

pls again, consider your options one more time. PDP is the way to go. They are still more affable that this present dictatorship that we have .

KR

Thanks for your comment...but no.

I don't think I can take corruption anymore....whether it wears APC or PDP cloak. I love my country too much for that.

If I am the only one standing against PDP or APC....so be it. I sleep with my conscience, and keep on fighting, hoping for a better tomorrow.

If we want a better tomorrow...we have to take some hard decisons now. And an economy based on sharing the national cake equitably is a recipie for disaster. We must get off oil, must industrialse, must make states and LG more productive, etc.

We cannot continue being taken for a ride by APC or PDP any more. I don tire. It is foolishness, yes. but I don't want to vote for a party that spent 16 years doing nothing but chop and chop or another APC that promised change, but went back to chop and chop.

Butterflyleo:
Wasted votes

We have to start from somewhere....because lord knows that if I cast my vote for APC or for PDP....i won't be able to forgive myself.

Something has to change. We need new polices, a new direction. We cannot go on with economics of national cake. There is no national cake.

Should have told him...somehow...

Thing is, smoking is bad for your health

Stopping it can be useful.

My grandad stopped smoking in his early 70's. It added (imho) 10 years more to his life.

PresidentAtiku:
Progressives you mean

Tested an Trusted..

Buhari tried in 1983 and 2015... What is similar to both tenures Pains, Setback, retrogression, blames and hardship...

We owe our children a great future

Thanks, but I don't want APC or PDP (or Atiku either) again.

I prefer we Nigerians look for one of the other parties, and vote in new guys.

Not the same old same old.

PresidentAtiku:
Is Buhari even back sef?

This is his last Sallah as President...

Femi, Lai and other silent looters should start packing their properties..

Hardship Merchants

So you can let in another set of harship merchants....who you like because they are on your side, eh?

HungerBAD:
Good riddance.

And what exactly are the legacies they are leaving behind?i am sure leaving the States more indebted. Has any Governor ever left surplus or even a balanced sheet in Nigeria?

Problem with Nigeria is Nigerians see their economy as a cake that must be shared, not as a piece of land that must be developed and made profitable.

And if we split the country, the problem is going to remain the same...

Like people, like governors.

That's why I don't support a Sopverign national conference, restructuring or even division, not because they are bad or wrong ideas, but because we need to change our mindset as well...or else there would be fighting over resources again. And it won't end well.

yanabasee:
Forgotten children my handsome foot......


You people had David Mc as the Senate president (a number three citizen) for more than 16rs and all of a sudden, you're now forgotten...


When you guys voted Buhari into power..You people thought it will always be greener from both sides abi

At the time Benue went for APC in 2015

1.Governor Suswam, aka Susy, had not paid salaries for 9-11 months. (Meanwhile, Susy was building a nice big mansion at his hometown, like how sensitive was that?)

2.The cattle herder crisis was getting worse and PDP at Abuja and the state level government...were doing nothing about it.(Yes, the fulani crisis did not start under Buhari).

3.The PDP in Bneue was divided. Seriously.

Unrelated,but when you have ministers like that Idoma chap who was Interior minister when job seekers died at National Stadium..and he did not resign....

yarimo:
18- I see BUHARI winning the 2019 Presidential Election

19 - I see those who decamp to PDP crying after losing election

20 - I see Nigerians jubilating after BUHARI Is announce as president elect in 2019 presidential election

Thing is, APC really is not good for Nigeria.

They missed their chance on improving our economy by not remioving fuel subsidy completely.

Had Bubu said in 2016 that fuel subsidy was going completely (instead of that exercise in grammar called partial removal,or total removal, or removal of a sort, or NNPC is still paying subsidy)...yes, fuel would have shot up to N300 per liter....but foreign investors would have come rushing in, and the fuel price would have dropped, and we would have had JOBS GALORE.

And then, there is the corruption, and the mishandling of the cattle rearer issue.(Bad communicaiton,bad graphics, poor response)

StillX10:
Please God do not allow Buhari rule this country again

And PLEASE GOD...give us the grace to remove fuel subsides and industrialise...because if oil goes up to $100 again...this guy would vote for Buhari.

mercyway:
Anybody who still wish buhari to become Nigeria president come next year is completely mad

I;m not prepared to vote for APC next year...but I am not going to vote for PDP either.

Thing is, PDP had their chance for 15 years, and they blew it.

First, they refused to remove fuel subsidy completely, despite it being a flawed policy....and despite it being proven to waste billions , and fuelling fuel subsidy scams (actually business men lying about fuel they never imported simply to keep on stying in business).

Second...they are just as corrupt as the APC.

If you don't want Bubu, that;s ok. I no want too. But be courageous enough to look at new guys...like Moghalu, Sowore and Durotoye (but then you would make fun of them as being small fry).

Amitez:
Please, which Yugoslavia is this? Thought it has since ceased to exist as acountry?

Serbia is sometimes refered to as Yugoslavia...but you are right, Yugoslavia ceased to exist when Montenegro left the country some years ago.

Some would say Yugoslavia has not existed since 1995.

The summary of the article is simple...

Defections are not good for internal party unity.

In my opinion PDP should win in 2019. APC has lost the Middle Belt, and the race in the South West is going to be tight. I expect the far North to go for APC....if Buhari is on the ticket.

The problem is, the defections are opening up cracks in the PDP at the state level (same way Akpabio's defection is bad news for the APC in akwa ibom state).

Lets go back to 2015. PDP lost states like Nassarawa , Kwara, Kogi and Benue because of cracks at the local level. Had they fixed those cracks...and rushed in with sweeteners to the aggrieved party members, GEJ would have been President today.

Now, PDP has a big chance to win....but it seems the defections are causing problems once again. And this time, the fact that we have several big name defectors who ALL want to be President too.....unless they agree on a consesnus candidate before the year is up AND also sign a pact not to defect if they don't get what they want .........problems are going to start.(See how Nassarawa was lost in 2015...despite PDP being strong on the ground...because several greviances were not sorted out...instead, PDP HQ just imposed a candidate, and that was that).

If APC wins in 2019.....it won't be because of rigging. Politics is as much a game of the backroom as it is about people's votes.PDP better be careful they don't throw away their chance again .

Good news.
Let's hope we go further and put an end to roaming around with cattle. That era is over.

It worked back when our population was small, not now when it is 200million

Bongos Ikwue should come and say Happy birthday to Maradona the alleged "wife snatcher"

Mr Ikwue has point blank denied any relationship with the woman in question in a wide ranging interview he gave over ten years ago.

Amount to be paid to prostitute N6000

Bail N50000.

Una see your life?

Sunday Omale....haba!

Una wan free service!

You're truly a pretender

Akabuking:
economics teacher. your tell me a lot about you.

If you met me eight years ago, I probabaly would have said that if I had that kind of money...na that kind of car I go buy.

But, having heard about a rich guy who had a rare supercar that the engine oil cost N7 million alone.....me thinks I would just jejely buy a simple car....and drive simple.

It has nothing to do with jealousy of Lukaku. Lukaku is free to buy any car he wants sans my imput. Me, I am just fantasising about what i would do if i had that money.

I mean, why spend N40 million on a Lambo when you can buy a Peugeot , Renault, or Toyota for far far less even as a multibillionaire......and the engine oil is cheap too!The money I save by not buying a big car....I invest in things like land,etc....or even kukuma park am for savings account.

In brief...I i was richer than Lukaku....and I ahd a choice between a N50million supercar, and a N5 million peugueot or toyota brand new...na the N5 Million peugeout or toyota I go buy...(and the engine oil no goreach N10000 sef). The N45 million saved can go on land, houses, savings etc...

If I am that rich, I will just buy TOYOTA CORROLA or Volkswagen golf self.

Because if I buy that kind Mercedes, the amount of money I will spend on preventive maintenance would be a waste cumulatively.

Being rich does not mean freedom to throw money away

Exwizard:
Rubbish
So they should do all this even at their own detriment?
Instead of scraping the whole shit now

What would you replace the NYSC with?

Do you want village schools, hospitals, etc to suddenly have no teachers, no doctors,nurses, pharmacists, etc....
Would it solve the problem of unemployment in this country?

Agitiate for an industrial society, so that jobs would be enough, and stop looking for money to share.

hope4nigeria:
I was never born 1966, so I don't care what happened 1966. So its OK to be burying our soldiers like fowl and those who responsible for their deaths are bn compensated everyday by buhari govt.

1.You are allowing your bitterness against the government to override the fact that a democratic society is better than a milltary ruled one.

Because you have lost hope that the APC government can be removed by the ballot box, you want them to be removed by a coup. Just like many Nigerians did in the run up to 1966 and look where it got them to. Four years of disorder. I should also mention that similar attitudes led to the downfall of the Second republic in 1983.

If you want a better society., do the hard work of democracy. Not the easy way out of army rule. I am no PDP supporter, but in the 16 years they ran this country, I would never have advocated for their overthrow by the army...and neither would i do the same for this APC government, despite the fact that I also never voted for them.

2.Soldiers welfare is important...but a mutining army is a danger to national security. As many African countries have found out. That is why our government needs to adress the welfare of these army men....which is why it is up to us as citizens to put pressure on the government to do its job. That is why we are a democracy, so that we can do things by ourselves for ourselves, and not be babysat by some 'army nanny'(with brutality).

Good move in the right direction

Those animals that wander around spread diseases and filth.

High time many Nigerian cities , especially in the North , follow Niger State's lead.

Happy, to see this doctor reinstated.

Have been following the case, and to be honest, while the family of the late patient had a right to be aggrieved, the fact was that the doctor did her best under very stressful conditions.

Well, hope she gets back to work in time....back to the whole stress and treatment and stuff.

Takeproft:
Church of Satan my foot. Another political power and control institutions. They didn't even understand the context of the post they're replying to. This church is a joke. I think they're just some worthless atheists using satire and parody to achieve their ridiculing points

There is a Church of Satan, it is one of two denominations of the Satainsts, mostly based in the USA.

Hence the tenor of their response (read their tweet again).

They don't have a branch in Nigeria.

Their founder was a gent called Anton LaVey (the sect that responded are the LaVeyan Satanists).

ednut1:
Wonder y those soldiers never plan coup since. Ur oga like buratai buys houses in dubai with money for weapons and sends u to go die inside bush u self dey go

Have you ever lived under Army rule?

You wont like it.

hope4nigeria:
I expected them to kill as many superior as they can, kill even the president if possible, then I will take them serious. What they don't understand is ,the elongation of the crisis bring more money to the superior officers and the politicians at the detriment of their life, they have a choice, kill them or be killed

Are you out of your mind?

Do you know what happened back in January and July 1966? Some soldiers did what you suggested, and we ended up with a civil war that led to millions dying. People who before Jan 1966 were living their lives peacefully!

Don't support anarchy. I am not asking you to support bad government, I am asking you not to support things that might lead to even more horror!

I know a lot of people are going to call me names, call me zone B , call me BMC....but what these soldiers are doing is worng.

On Jan 15 1966, a group of soldiers mutinied. Four years later, millions of innocent people were dead as a result of the mutiny.Millions dead.

I have read the comments, and seen people project their hate for the current government, their hate for a part of this country, their hate for a religion on this mutiny. And I think I know why....there has been a lot of injustice in this country, and people have suffered...and in their anger...they say things that should not be said.

But whatever happens, do not support this mutiny. The problem is, If every body refused to do their job because they don't feel like it or because they feel overworked and over stressed...this country would collapse into anarchy within weeks.

I recall back in 2001...when certain ranks in the Police went on strike. Yes they had legit greiviances. But for one day, this country was at risk of falling into lawlessness of the type that would scare someone.

These soldiers who are mutining...they are not worthy to be called soldiers. They are a bunch of greedy mercenaries. Because, if every soldier gave up the fight against Boko....where would we be? Anarchy...millions of refugees spilling all over across the country, spreading crisis where they go. Millions lost in crisis that they cannot face.

And to all those my fellow Southerners who think that they can retreat behind their fortresses, who think that they would be safe being seprate...let me tell you that in 1994, the Rwanda genocide happened...scores of people were displaced into the Democratic republic of the Congo...and that sparked off crisis that led to a war being fought in that country by 1998. Yes....a war that happened because in 1994...some Hutu jokes decided to play Himmler and Mengele with the lives of thousands of their countrymen...sparked off crisis in Kinshasa hundreds of miles away.

I agree we have not treated our soldiers right. I agree we have not been grateful enough to them. But this mutiny is also not fair to us as Nigerians. And if we Nigerians excuse this incdient because we are tired of being run by Northerners or something....well, there would be more incidents....and more...until we are facing Civil War, round 2...and this time, it would be ten times worse than round 1.

So, i dont back this mutiny, neither would I have backed it if PDP or GEJ or whoever were in power. The stakes are far bigger than any politician, or leader or APC (and I ain't no APC supporter...they are just as bad as the PDP...and I never voted for them in 2015)..but one thing we have to learn in this country is self sacrifice.

Because, if your doctor, lawyer, teacher, nurse, mechanic, etc, walked off the job and did not come back, because of 'poor quality of service' (mind, it is every one's right to strike...I do not deny the right to strike)...or ingratitude...at the end of the day.....we would be back in the stone age.

And thank God for those soldiers who served with distinction in Borno....thanks to their activities, there are no more bomb blasts and many people in Borno sleep peacefully , even long before this admin took over.

If we cannot sacrifice self in this country...then we better be prepared to accept being run by anarchy.

dancok:
is it real? I thought it just a joke.

Don't mind him, the said match never happened!

Infact the year Okwaraji died, I heard one version of the story....that India did not qualify for the World Cup because they refused to wear shoes to play....
