Many people are happy that food prices are coming down. On the surface, it looks like good news. But there is a serious danger most people are not talking about.

Cheaper food is good for consumers, but not always good for farmers
While buyers enjoy relief, many farmers are selling at a loss.

Cost of farming is still very high
Fertilizer, diesel, transport, labour, and insecurity are still expensive. Prices fell, costs did not.

Farmers are losing capital
Most Nigerian farmers use money from the last harvest to fund the next season. Losses now mean no money later.

Many farmers may not plant next season
When farmers cannot afford seeds, fertilizer, or labour, they reduce production or quit entirely.

This leads to future food shortages
Less planting today means less food tomorrow, which will push prices up again.

Nigeria has no strong price support system
There are no effective minimum price guarantees or working buffer stock programs to protect farmers.

Poor storage forces distress sales
Because farmers can’t store food, they rush to sell during harvest when prices are lowest.

Middlemen and traders also suffer losses
Oversupply and weak demand affect the entire value chain, not just farmers.

Price instability scares investors away
Serious investors avoid agriculture when prices swing wildly from profit to loss.

Low prices today can mean hunger tomorrow
If farmers collapse, Nigeria will depend more on imports and face worse food inflation later.

Bottom line:
The problem is not high prices or low prices. The real problem is unstable prices.
If Nigeria does not protect farmers now, today’s cheap food will become tomorrow’s food crisis.

Their change of style caused it and I still don't know why they had to change the confirmed attacking style that got us so many goals already. I d prefer that we'd even lost with 90mims play our normal attacking football honestly

The body of slain Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani was pictured inside a cardboard coffin and resting across a row of seats on board a plane as it was flown from Iraq back to his home country for his funeral.


Soleimani's successor, Esmail Qaani cries over the coffin of assassinated predecessor during the final funeral in Tehran today.

Zionmdde:
I don't get your question

Also tell me how Jesus was baptized

paxonel:
The question is, is the outward identification necessary for justification?
The answer is no.

It is only necessary for people to see.
But the very thing that we are Christians for which is to please God, it is not necessary

paranorman:
This argument are needless, that's because many of the folks arguing about baptism do not know it's historical context or religious significance. Baptism is not exclusive to Christianity, infact ancient Jews also practiced it as part of a purification ritual for 2 main reasons:

1. The Jewish Mikvah ( Ritual bath) - this was the ritual purity practiced by those who were ceremonially unclean, or priests before thier service to the ternacle or temple.

2. Proselyte baptism - practiced during conversion to Judaism. Now, this should make you understand, contextually, why the Jews questioned John the Baptist, and Jesus (and his disciples) , what or who gave them the right to baptise!

John (The Baptist) then came and then introduces the Baptism for Repentance, which was radical, contentious and controversial in the eyes of the Jewish religious leaders. For context, John the Baptist baptism was a one time thing, while the Jewish Mikvah was done as many times as needed for cleaning, especially.

Baptism is not compulsory! But if new converts are required to be baptised by any true bible believing church, then they should, as it won't kill them, as long as the understand that baptism forshows repentance, death of your old sinful ways, and renewed to a new life in Christ. It isn't complex. True repentance goes deep down and translates to spiritual and soulish transformation.

As for the Catholics, if the child baptism translates to the dedication of the child to Christ, then I do not see anything wrong with that. The child can always do a proper baptism if and when they come of age, adults who understand the implication of the finished work of Christ, grace and the detriment of sin. Similar to how charismatics and pentecostals dedicated and snoint their babies.

Make una dey chill, small. Christ will purge His bride thoroughly before He comes.

Zionmdde:
What is you described is not baptism, baptism signifies death to sin, burial and resurrection in Christ. That's why you immerse the person in water (death) and raise him up (resurrection)

Now that process can only be valid without Roman's 10:9
And a baby cannot believe in Jesus nor confess his Lordship and therefore not qualified for salvation

paxonel:
You mean, if the child is not baptized, he or she does not have Christian identity?

immortalcrown:
In Pentecostal churches, baptism qualifies one to start receiving the holy communion. But in Catholic, baptism does not qualify one to start receiving the holy communion. This is why the arguement often takes place.

Baptism is a ritual performed to cleanse original sin and demonstrate Christian identity. Baptizing an infant is a way that parents give the baby Christian identity. The parents, by doing so, are saying, "We are laying a Christian foundation for our baby".

What makes the difference is confirmation which is done by only those who did infant baptism and have become cognisant enough to differentiate sin from good and have promised to abstain from sin. It is called confirmation because the person does it to show that he or she has examined, understood and chosen the Christian foundation laid for him or her. The person by doing so is saying "I have confirmed that the Christian foundation laid for me or I laid for myself is right for me and I am dedicated to it".

Let me use something non-spiritual to explain it further. A medical or nursing student starts wearing a white clothe. The white clothe does not make the student a qualified nurse or doctor. It only shows that the student has chosen the profession and is willing to develop himself or herself in that field. The student is using the clothe to say, "This is who I want to be". This illustrates baptism. Graduation is what will make the student a qualified nurse or doctor. The graduation can be used to illustrate the purpose of confirmation in the Catholic Church.

In the Catholic Church, members who become adults before getting baptised may not go through a separate formation for confirmation before receiving the holy communion. They can receive the holy communion the same day they get baptised. This is similar to Pentecostal members who start receiving communion immediately after being baptised because they had become old enough to differentiate sin from good before they went for the baptism. Members of the Catholic Church who did infant baptism are the ones that must go through confirmation when they become adults before they start receiving the holy communion. Biblically, there is no contradiction between the way the Catholic does it and the way the Pentecostal Churches do it. It is human sentiment that created the arguement.

Meanwhile... Wicked Wike has something to say

FarahAideed:
You people are too emotional , what's the guarantee that that even if you pay Ransome your person will he released ? Many have paid and still died ... For every ransom you pay you have given them funding bro kidnap more people , how long will you keep paying Ransome...The only way out is too criminalize the payment and I swear within one year the nonsense will stop , it's the same way kidnapping was stopped in America....Stop the payments and the kidnappings will dry up , it's the main source of funding terrorism in Nigeria today ...some people will die initially but it will stop , besides people are already dying daily in the hands of these demons

What's the point of SIM registration.
The issues of tracking identity of mobile phone users has been completed.

No Social media accounts without Gmail,
No Gmail without phone number,
No active sim card without NIN
No NIN without Bank account.

All loops have been closed as far as IT is concerned.
Blocking a SIM card today carries serious consequences for any user, since it is now tied to BVN, NIN social media accounts etc.

These guys are lying to us they're just making excuses.

If in doubt make one post on social media and see DSS all over your house in record time.

The issue is that people who have no IT background or training are heading our strategic information sectors.

Imagine an Inspector general who is not tech savvy cannot optimize our tech facilities to handle criminals, something that Chad and Niger will never utter.
