IceColdVeins: My brother unknowingly marched on this reptile in our compound around 10 pm and it bit him in reprisal. Kindly help identify. He’s in the hospital now though I need to identify this creature
The picture is too dark, I can't figure out the patterns on the skin. Note this this however: -If the bite mark doesn't have two dots over two dots (like a mark u get when a creature with only two teeth above and two below bites you) but appears like a circle with dots (like the pattern bites from human beings make) -if the area of the mark today, is not red an swollen. -If your brother is not feeling nauseous, headache or/and having breathing issues. -and if the wound have been cleansed and he has been giving ordinary antibiotics. Take him home. He is fine and he has most likely been bitten by a non-venomous snake. Non-venomous snakes are far more common than venomous snakes
AntiChristian: So that "a father sacrifices his son to save his other sons" was a plan?
So where were all the killings in the plan?
Ok, I see through you. You are changing the original argument. I will like to engage with you though, because I have come to see that the Bible contains loving arrangements and acts by God to humans. But, I have to ascertain if you are really interested or you just want to act as a jester
AntiChristian: Sorry o! If your assertion is true why didn't the Bible stop at the 5 first books?
I mean why the need for old and new testament. It's evident your Lord changes from old to new testament though you may refuse to see the changes.
The LORD had an army and a sword in the old testament but not in the new testament.
I have Bible verses to back my claims.
Du you understand graduation and procedure? Take for example; when building a big house, u might fix in place steels, then u enter the stage of using cement. In God's dealings with human, to guide us back to his original plans, he as patiently used systematic, stage by stage process with us. We have by this way learnt patience and wisdom. What more? His main theme in the Bible and plan is consistent
softset: I have always said it that this government is run by insane people. How could you just wake up and make such a decision?
I won't blame them, next election, if you like collect 5000 you will get worse treatment.
Look at NIN, some idiot just woke up and made a decision without putting lots of things into consideration, so I arrive Nigeria now with no way to get a phone number. Many government decisions are never thought through.
We deserve better than what we are getting, Nigerians are smart people, we should never settle for less , mediocrity should not be an option when choosing leaders.
I apologize for being part of those that encouraged people to vote for Buhari during the first election, I encouraged over 80 of my employees in Lagos to vote for him, I thought he was the messiah. I later realized that this man really has nothing much to offer. Someone that thinks today is Monday
Goodluck gave us little other options the first time, but I warned others vehemently this second time. But Nigerians don't learn, I don't even trust us for a good decision in 2023. My friend, let me give u a shocking revelation; there are actually too many mumu people in Nigeria. The calculation is simple; the set of leaders in a country is a reflection of the bulk of its society
Everybody as a selfish tendency, but this Sunday Igboho have a good balance; he has the right mixes of anger, foul tongue, diplomacy and courage. He is unlike Kanu in a long stretch. Kanu wants everything to revolve round him. He wants an empire where he will be the emperor.
I dey fear too I no fit lie. Fury na beast...him strong naturally and he is ringsmart. Capable of using different styles too. Joshua will need to be at his very best
PervertProphet: Nothing wey PervertProphet no go see for Nairaland
See even you this Okada POS boy wey dey use Paracetamol dey treat your HIV for over a month now dey talk of the word "miserable". Even your siblings abroad are tired of begging ways and won't call you
I see!
No worry! Nairaland King of Begging. I see your post. Your POS Business don complete or you need my help to complete it?
Indolent lout and ratboy like you.
What Bible did you read? The perverted NWT own? Which you now supplemented with the false Governing Body's publications where Louts like you are brainwashed. How many free schools in Nigeria has your false Governing Body built in Nigeria? Or even the expensive ones self?
You better go to your accident dented life. All that weekly accidents probably affected your brain. You better go for deliverance. You this boy that demons of accidents, sickness and poverty are toying with your life. Nairaland Chief Beggar. Broke frustrated people like you always trying to blame the Church offering and Tithe for you lots misfortunes.
I can't hate you, because God won't hate you. But it's obvious I have a lot of things you don't have, and that you can't take away. BUT REALLY, YOU DO HAVE A MISERABLE LIFE. I HOPE ONLY THAT YOU DONT DRAG SOMEBODY INNOCENT INTO YOUR LIFE. I HOPE YOU ENDURE THIS YOUR LIFE WITH JUST YOUR TYPE OF PERSON. THIS WOULD BE FAIR
PervertProphet: So clown you lived in the first century to know this? When the first Christians sold of their belongings and brought 100% of their proceeds. You and your false prophecy given Governing Body were there to see the boxes?
You sure have a miserable life. I read everything from the Bible. Jesus observed the widow paying her two mites by the entrance of the synagogue and when the early christians brought there belongings, they brought it out of their own volition with cheerfulness (for God loves a cheerful giver). And besides, they shared everything they brought amongst themselves as everybody's needs demands. Can this be said of the churches today? How many congregants can attend the churches school? God loves you more than I can love you. You need to go back and search for him and his ways with an open mind. Your present state is disgusting.
onthehill: It’s Not Altogether A Bad Thing For The North To Secede From Nigeria - Adamu Garba
Former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba says with all that the North has going for it, it will not be a bad thing for the region to secede from Nigeria, IgbereTV reports.
In a post shared on his Twitter handle, Adamu listed the benefits the Northern region has over other regions. According to him, if the North secedes from Nigeria today, many regions in Nigeria will suffer. He added that no single person is afraid of a breakup of the country.
He pointed out that the ''hatred'' towards the Fulanis and everything North can be the greatest undoing of the secessionist groups once the North pulls out of ''the Union called Nigeria''.
Read his post below.
https://twitter.com/adamugarba/status/1355895842872438784?s=19[/quote]I don't hate the North. It's true it has potentials. However, the north without the south will look more like Niger republic, Chad, Guinea and Cameroon. And what is the North really. Is it only the Fulani caliphate, or it includes the Kanuris too, or the Borgus, or the Nupes. These people I mentioned had their own proud civilization. When push comes to shove, which of them will represent the north, mind you kanuri and Sokoto have always seen themselves has a competing civilization
jesusjnr2020: I don't think the death of our enemies is what we should rejoice over as believers, however the issue of sex-for-grades is one which must be seriously looked into because it's really despicable.
May God help the victims of such animals in human skin who have no one to help them. Amen!
Many people don't understand Christianity. They don't understand the lifestyle and mindset they are called into. God himself sorrow over the death of bad people. That pastor isn't a christian
It's same thing. It's just racism against your fellow country man. And over 90% of Nigerians are. Shame on them for complaining that some people are racist
Sannisege: its funny that even those smelly Indians do same here in Canada. They are reluctant to sit beside blacks on the bus. But I understand that their own is due to inferiority complex...
You see, you are racist too. Assuming Indians are naturally smelly.
It's high time we started to sincerely analyse ourselves too. 90 percent of Nigerians I dare to say are racist. When u think Abokis are not smart, or igbos are dubious or ibadan people are disloyal...you are profiling and generalising, u are a racist!

extol1: did they force you to donate the money by all means or was a gun pointed at you to bring the money? all these nonsense must stop, trying to paint the Church as a business venture. you gave at will and here you come online telling us how you use your 5k. please be careful fa
They don't force but coerce. When they ask everyone to match out, be sincere will u feel good if you decide to sit down? The first century christians who are supposed to be our benchmark do not have sessions for tithe and offerings. They just put a box or bag at a corner of the church or synagogue, most times beside the entrance...that's all. Jehovah witness copy this style and they are still well off financially
kalu61: I really appreciate your opinion. I believe you having a nice weekend?
We all trying to find solutions to these dilemma. I studies microbiology and have knowledge of the working of DNA(genetics). Some gays behaviour are natural occurrence. lt's inbuilt while others are environmental(got initiated or grow without females around, low self esteem around females etc) but we can't differenciates who's behaviour is natural or environmental.
That's being said, homosexuality is not new to the world. Remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah? There are other sexual behaviours that has come and gone. African is new to monogamy. It's like a trend that will come and go.
One thing about change is you can resist it and not deny it.
Short sighted assumptions? I don't believe such. I didn't just wake up to say these set of humans should be given fair share.
1. Those points you listed have no direct effect on your constitution right. Smoking is unhealthy as warned by experts but it's allowed for who thinks it's oga for him or her. Why not outlaw it? The smoke disturbing a second party is a different problem which has been solved( don't smoke in public).
We can well tell the LBGT to do their things in private just like others have sex in private.
2 . On family. Partially there is direct effect on the society but not your right. If a child is raised by gay and such child tend to misbehave just like we have banditry, sex workers, child traffickers, drug dealers, robbery, rape etc by children from polygamous/monogamous or Single parent. So, gay adopted children will not be different from what we have in the society.
3. On disease, every adult has the right to take precautions. HIV it not predominant among gays but the so called normal people.
You are obviously intelligent. You need to keep researching though. Whatever foul gas -mentane or nicotine that is released in the closet, still find a way out. The fact that something is done in private doesn't mean it doesn't have effects in the open. Many ills we as humans suffer now is from many decisions and actions we don't even remember. Take for example again, those who were eating meats that were not thoroughly cooked? They are suspected to be one way we contracted this present Corona virus (Ebola is gotten from animals in this way too). And do anybody knows if it's some practises and set believes of Africans, polygamy for example that has left us in our wretched conditions? I agree with you that some people are genetically structured to lean towards gay orientation, but so are some structured to be a klepto, some peadophiles, some even get gratification from seeing others suffer or committing murder, should we allow such people free reins? The world is in degenerate state now, and all of us suffers different ills to different degrees. The onus is on everyone however to keep fighting the evil, to constantly without let, keep supressing our bad tendencies. We shouldn't resign and give in/up. Else, we should also allow and accept peadophillia. *HIV IS MORE PREVALENT PERCENTAGE WISE IN GAYS
kalu61: I think it's high time we accepted these group of homosapiens. Religion apart, culture or not, every century has it's rules and this is what is staring at us. LGBT
Let's stop pretending they don't exist but accept them as long as no body's constitutional right is infringed upon.
Many CEO'S, Celebrities, captains of industry, millitry personal both male and women are into these orientation.
Do you still remember when it was a taboo for ladies to wear trouser? In my village, umuada will feast on you but look at it today, nobody cares.
Before you quote me, check my signature
It's short sighted assumption like this that is the problem really. We as humans are short-sighted, it's only later in the future that we get to understand the societal effects of some decisions. Some effects we are sure of now though are: 1) LGBT advocates 'self love' , a kind of believe that you have right to do with your body what you like. But this is not true, whatever decision you take rub off on others. When you smoke for example, the nicotine you release can cause others cancer. 2) it messes up with the fundamental natural love live and family. The children for example needs the balanced influence only a man (father) and the woman (wife) can give, not the one sided experience from two men. I for one believes our society is this degenerated because the idea of the family is being bastardized; we are having children that develop under the chaotic set up of single motherhood and gay parents. They don't get to develop completely by learning strength from the father and empathy from the mother. Hence we get heartless children, simps, substance abusers and emotionally imbalanced children. 3) serious diseases to come up from this lifestyle. So you see, they trample on our constitutional rights and mess up with the health of the society. God that sees everything and understand the cumulative effects of this type of lifestyle has adviced we fight it
InfernoNig: Don't blame her. She is avoiding temptation. Or she don't want you to find out that she is very wild down there. Just Saying
She is doing one good but leaving the other out. *It's good she doesn't want to come to your house. She should consider coming in company of friends or a brother. * You too on the other hand is not obligated to fund her. If she isn't telling u that deeper life actually discourages collecting too much from somebody you are in courtship with, it may be that she is being selfish and really want to just use u
There are theories flying around that Covid vaccination is a plot to kill Africans. Well, these are the people getting vaccinated-developed countries. And European Union is even planning to curb export of vaccines because the one they have aren't enough. If this vaccines were dangerous, will these big players try to keep it for themselves? WISDOM IS PRIME. LOVE SPURS ME.
ashacot: Anambra based prophet Onyii Nwama Okocha aka Onyeze Jesus has apologize to Nigerians for abusing the naira currency and sharing people's nude videos online.
The prophet had received backlash for abusing the naira note and also posting nude videos of his clients who came to seek spiritual power. Report had it that Anambra state government had frown at his activities. But on this video, he has come out to apologise
jaybenugo: A clash between street boys in Aguda, Surulere, Lagos, led to the death of at least one person, IgbereTV reports.
Am eyewitness said the clash was between Pako Boys and Aguda boys.
The Lagos State Police Command said arrests have been made.
A statement from the police reads:
"The police command has arrested 12 suspects in connection with the protest/clash between some youths in Aguda area, Surulere on Sunday 24th Jan, 2021.
"The incident left one Munero, m, dead. Munero, who was alleged to be a serial killer in the area was lynched by irate youths in the area."
"We have restored normalcy to the area as the Commissioner of Police Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has deployed additional men to the area under the supervision of the Area Commander Area C Surulere, ACP Fatai Tijani."
"Arms and ammunition were recovered from the suspects who are helping the police in their investigation."
"We will still arrest more as we continue our investigation into the matter."
Sharing a video clip of the incident, a Twitter user, @RealKamsi wrote;
The Fulani issue is suffocating. Something must be done as a matter of emergency. Still, I plead for calm and wisdom. Let's consider 3 points; 1) Southerners have a lot of tangible investments in the north. Fulanis don't normally build lasting structures in the south. 2) War is worse than any state we are in now. During war, grass becomes spinach, lizards becomes goat meat and sometimes ones babies even appear tempting for barbecue. 3) War many at times is not fair. Bad people that caused the war many at times win the war. The same way I pleaded that you shouldn't vote Buhari is the same way - and even more - I am pleading that you shouldn't lead us into war.
BusinessCity: People should read the Bible themselves and get to understand the intent of God's heart as well as the letter.
I believe no seed sown towards Kingdom growth is without Heavenly reward, however while I maintain this believe, I don't subscribe to first fruits paid annually.
First Fruits offering is the seed that opens the ground/business/productivity like a child giving the first salary he or she earns to the parents. Making it an annual event as skewed and project as we've seen of recent memories is to only excite one's feelings to milk people of their resources
Before Christianity came, every one gives their first salary to their parents as a seed of thankfulness for their parenting them. This is the reflection of what first fruit offering is, but people chose to replace parents there with their pastors
Pastors too are unduly taking advantage.
Don't bother to criticise me because you want to fill your stomach with other people's blood, sweat and means of livelihood. I'm a minister of the Gospel as well and have mentored hundreds. But guess what, I work
First Fruits should be directed lyrics dedicated to God in a ( sober some way) that will provoke God's blessings and sustain ones livelihood. This giving is not putting in offering basket ideology we continue to perpetuate...
or
Given to ones parents. Your parents are also God's representative on earth as much as your pastors.
Your parent command higher spiritual right to receive this blessings, cry upon receiving it and command transference of blessings to your life. Thus is the history and essence of first fruits. Don't let hungry ministers deceive you
If you're a minister and want to take me up on this discussion, I am willing to educate you. But first check the scriptures about what God instructed Moses and Joshua about first fruits. When you're done with that come back and I'll open your spiritual eyes clearer and brighter with first fruits throughout scriptures where none of this occurrences were carried out like annual pagan rites
Pastors and ministers allow parents too eat of the works of their hands. Many of you have turn yourselves to demigods and devils and go as far as killing the sheep because of the greed and last for material things. Remember in the end it's not the tithes and offerings that matters to God as He's the owner of the earth and all in it and the cattle over the thousand hills.
Careful exacting resources from people. Let the people also bless the souls that brought them into this existence.
I'm an elder in the kingdom to atleast more than the top 80% of ministers of my generation. So I can correct you and Heaven will understand. We didn't start this journey yesterday. No. We did not.
Build the sheep up and when they're built, when you don't recall, what is bigger than first fruits is what they will do to you. Let's stop draining life out of God's children. Please and please
Scriptural references :
Cain and Abel - Abel gave the fruits that opened the earth. No other records of him doing that before His demise
2. God instructed Joshua when they entered Cannan, this is God Himself doing the talking, He said when you begin to produce, make sure the first fruits of your harvest ( First farming season year deem first productive season ) is set aside as offering because the fruits of the land wasn't yet purified for them to take personally. And that after this the earth would yield it's increase massively to them
3. Jesus waded into a scenario. Check the new testament. Jesus said to certain youths who pretended giving to parents as giving to God and mixed it up. They said when they give their thier parents, they gave grudgingly and said it's what we give to you is for God. Jesus however chided them maintaining parents must be honoured given their due regards separate from. Ministerial regards. In this case what's parental should be treated as parental. And what's for the church be giving to church.
If the first fruit is for a certain pastor, when does the parent who does the whole labor get the place of honour. Mind you hardly is there any pastor in the world world that will be there on a steady daily occasion and not give up on the child until maturity and success is attained.
I rest my case.
Give it to your parents
I do not support giving pastors or church any money aside offerings given cheerfully. However, iny my defence of truth I don't use lies. You lied by saying before Christianity people were giving their first salary to their parents. Where did u see that?
