If u want to dig dirt make u dig better one. Not this rubbish

minks:
It is common in Christian circles to observe that whenever Pastors or other church leaders are rebuked or criticized openly for their errors, some members will rise up in their defence. They often use the Scripture, "Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm," to try to cover up the sins of their church leader. But are men of God above criticism?

Scripturally, no human, including men of God no matter how highly placed, is above criticism.
The higher one climbs spiritually, the more exposed they become to satanic attacks and this is the main reason these men of God should be made to be more accountable and transparent in the work that has been committed to them.

Moreover, men of God are also humans and are capable of making mistakes and also need correction from other Christians who may notice these mistakes that may not be apparent to them.
This is exactly what Paul did when Peter got hypocritical with the Jews as we see in the scripture quoted below.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 2:11-16 (ESV)

We see Paul rebuking Peter sharply for his hypocrisy not minding Peter's position in the church. He criticized Peter's pretentious disposition in the presence of everyone and we didn't see anyone defending Peter's sin or feeling bad that their leader was being criticized publicly.

The word of God says that open rebuke is better than secret love. Every true man of God would love correction and will not be defensive when corrected.
In the same way, true Christians will never feel the need to defend sin no matter who is involved.

They are not above criticism but most Christians join to criticise and embarass men of God too much unlike other faiths which protects their own

No chaos

Greedy banks selling it to highest bidders and our politicians

Allowing our politicians to have their way..

And this whole policy was intended to ruin the plans of vote buying
But no matter what. It is gonna curb it a little

used almost 3k to withdraw 20k this morning

No problem

I will sacrifice for my nation

But what matters most is that tinubu plans be ruined

And for we masses lets suffer so that we will do away with tribalism this time around and do the right thing

Heard banks are even paying people with 5, 10, 50 naira note.
I was so happy infact let them add coins to it

Is it banks that brought this pointless policy?

The Naira change policy is wicked and pointless. It was not done with a pure heart. It is wicked

It is against tradition to see your son's corpse

In my tradition it is a taboo for the father to see the corpse of his son

The money change and fuel scarcity are to help BAT.

Do you need to spend billions to change money and put Nigerians under undue extreme stress, amidst fuel scarcity??

Wating Isoko do Urhobo

Many are times I hear people say Isoko people are wicked.... Mostly our Urhobo brothers are the major preachers of this bad tidings and false proclamation

The other day I have to ask one of them to mention Any bad or wicked act which any isoko Son or deugther has done to him....
And he was speechless...

You see Isoko was never The problem.
But the one million U.S dollars question is How come this negative impression has pass on and succeeded over time.

I have to go back to time and History set the record strict.

The only thing Isoko did wrong was her refusal to be under her younger brother ( Urhobo ) a. K. a. Eastern Urhobo.

Yes the Urhobo are our younger brother; base on the fact that 1 ( One) many of the Urhobo community today migrated from our present day Isoko community....

e.g *The ancestors of Effurun-Otor in Ughelli local government area, LGA, came from ERHOWA in Isoko South LGA

*Agbon clan in Ethiope East LGA migrated from Irri. Agbon consists of Kokori, Okpara, (Inland & Waterside), and Eku towns.  

*The present Okpe Clan in Urhoboland i.e. in Okpe and Sapele LGAs migrated from OKPE in Isoko NB: Ozoro settled in their present site whilst Okpe went further to Orerokpe their present settlement.

*There was further movement of Owhawha ancestors from Igbide in Isoko South LGA to settle in Jeremi clan, Ughelli South LGA.  

#The only Isoko community that migrated from Urhoboland is Olomoro clan which descended from Olomu clan in Ughelli South LGA about 1750-1800 AD. " in fact Olomoro migrating from Olomu is even Debatable.

But the Urhobo grow so lucky in the sense that God bless her in land size and population... As a result of her blessings she wented her elder brother (Isoko) to be under her as long as she live....

Now my question is who is wicked between the two sons of Benin kingdom.

It is patient to note that isoko was never at anytime under the urhobo..... Their is difference between working for someone and working with someone.!!!


THE CREATION OF ISOKO DISTRICT COUNCIL  

In 1951, the Richards Constitution came into operation in Nigeria. The Western Region Delimitation Commission created two constituencies from Eastern Urhobo Native Authority, NA, and elections to the Western House of Assembly were conducted by Electoral College system on individual or personal basis, although political parties were behind the candidates. Chief James Ekpre Otobo from Uzere for Isoko; Chief Mowarin for the other side of Eastern Urhobo NA. They both contested and won their elections to the Western House of Assembly, Ibadan. Chief James Otobo for NCNC and Chief Mowarin for Action Group.  

At the 1954 general elections, Chief James Otobo again contested, this time under the platform of NCNC party and won and was returned to the Western House of Assembly. In 1957 Isoko was given a modicum of independence by the creation of Isoko District Council from Eastern Urhobo NA. Chief James Otobo influenced the creation during his tenure as a member representing Isoko at the Western House of Assembly, Ibadan.

Now NOTE: even when isoko and urhobo was join to together by miscalculation to from The Eastern Urhobo, Isoko still has her own separate constituency inside the so called Eastern Urhobo Native Authority, NA. Which was made up of two constituencies one for the isoko's and one for the urhobo's
 

Another wrong impression I want to correct is the phrase isoko people are steagy...
How Can you say isoko men are stingy when we still have men like Demantach, Chief Afere Mrs Agidife, e. t. c. .... If u ask any isoko man for anything and he does not give it to you just know that he does not have... Remember no man can give what he does not have... ( Acts 3 vs 6 )

let me use this opportunity to appreciate and celebrate our isoko women... Isoko mother are the best set of women God ever created...
Isoko women do not cheat on their husband at least if not all 95% are faithful.
Isoko women are not just submissive but all so supportive.... Hard working..
.. I celebrate them.

Yeye write up. Sometimes one wonders if some of you are paid to cause problems between the two ethnic groups

This is plausible because till date nobody has explained the circumstances shooting. All the news reports did not provide any reason or circumstance for the action which is curious

It would have been better to blind the eyes so he would not see these things lol

Great idea. Most of these girls want to manipulate you to spend on them. But keep interacting you would meet the one that would be a helper and not a guzzler

No man leaves anything good and memorable, whether it was a first date.

Most men will leave you when they eventually sleep with you if you proved too hard, hoarded the "thing too long" and made them spend so much to have it. Or if they remain with you they will be very hard on you since they have now crossed the thing you have been hoarding and making them suffer for.

If you must hoard or delay love-making do it decently on principles (i.e saying you don't want it before marriage). Do not make him spend money or undergo torture of denial. Do not be in the same bed with him for the night and deny him it. You rather not be in the same bed in the first place.

Someone I know, the girl would get him to agree for a holiday travel to some resort and stay there with him for three wonderful days but deny the guy for the entire time. The guy was so frustrated and sad al of such period.

When he eventually sailed in very much later he started getting his pound of flesh unwittingly

My friend you are privileged.

Stop all this plenty talk and go and blend with your family

Nigeria is a big market and that exemption is a huge revenue loss for the organizers of those tests,

Pointless news.

Do you need to advertise steps you are taking to counter the herdsmen menace?

some women will flirt and goad you on only to embarrass you later.

TakeNigeriaBack:
GEJ is the Grand Patron of Miyetti Allah. Miyetti Allah is the biggest terrorist organization in Africa.

Fake news...yet you voted him out for who?

When you think of the environment in which you want your children to grow up and their exposure you must want to relocate

lhordspy:
I dont support war or destruction in any form. But you see Ukraine. Dem go collect !

Roger crawford once said:
"Being Challenged In Life Is Inevitable, Being Defeated Is Optional"

But Zelensky misused ukranian little chance. They could have avoided defeat and this heavy destruction that is following it.
Russia made it optional for them. But they were fooled by the west, incojunction with their western media propaganda. They pushed them into war and made them continue it even when they Nato, the EU and the US, themselves are bunch of cowards that cant even risk putting their foot on the ground by joining it.


Now the time for settlement and peace has passed. Peace is forbidden in this war now. When Russia is done with them. They will beg for mercy, an off-the-table mercy. Unfortunately, there wont be none left.

So you approve of Russia invading Ukraine? That era of impunity is passed

RockHard:
Omo. Every SW state featured in the top 10 sha (na dem occupy 60% of the list). Was expecting the SE states to dominate the list though, considering the perception about being the 'most travelled' and all that. Edo na worthy mention. This list don demystify some preconceived notions. Respect to Nigerians overseas wey no forget the homeland.

Na south west the airport and embassies dey now?

Ebele Azikiwe did nothing for ipob land but mumu afghaneasterns will still be masturbating over the mention of his name. A man that went to the heart of alaigbo to scam ndigbo with a vow to go into exile if he didn't complete the 2nd Niger bridge! He didn't even so much as start the construction of the bridge, much less complete it, but despite the scam those mumus still lick his ass. No be only the best president Nigeria ever had...!

Go and see how the Igbos prospered under GEJ.......importation processes made easy, monetery and fiscal policies worldcalss that made international business and trading easier, all check points removed from the highways so our people would carry their goods without harassment etc, Ports in the Niger delta especially Onne designated as ports to receive all oil industry related import

These are the freedoms and good life the current administration severely curtailed that has done serious economic harm to the country....port process stringent, hundreds of checkpoints of all kinds, difficulties on trading and commercial matters, restricted access to foreign exchange, intermittent closure of borders, erratic economic polies etc.

The article stated on a wrong note;

"This week's column explores the complicated dynamic between the Buhari regime's seeming Igbophobia and its praiseworthy completion of a major project that is dear to the hearts of Igbos, which GEJ's "Igbo-friendly" gov.t had ignored and lied about"

How much project can you complete when you are being fought from all sides.....would the NASS had allowed Jonathan to borrow everyday and triple Nigeria's debt? Do you know how much delays the NASS instigated passing Budget under GEJ?
How much can u do with all those distractions like bring back our girls, governors forum and the rest?

Would the govt be able to have free money when we insist that fuel must sell at N87 per litre even when oil price is very high? Did we not almost closed down the country when Jonathan insisted on removing the subsidy in 2012?

Would this bridge exonerate the profound hardship brought about by this govt policies i.e debt tripled, Naira slide from N183 to N750, the highest decline in the history of this country?

Would the one-sidedness of the appointments that has generated much schism be explained by this bridge?

Would the many massacres by herdsmen, bandits and other be rationalised by this bridge?

Kperogi you fall hand for this write up sha

With this achievement the cost of living for ordinary folks has improved. Foodstuff, fuel and other including Naira value are lower now than in 2015

Fake news or fake approach

He was invited

Let them try and change the name of this local govt abeg

HE SHOULD REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR PDP O.......ABEG MAKE IT LP THIS TIME

OmoNla99:
If this Bubu got nothing right all through his 8years, I think he got this right. He waited for them till the tail end of his term to surprise them. If your money is legit, you should be able to take it to the bank.

This is how he got it right with the billions of money recovered in the corruption fight that has made our economy improve so much since 2015.

Their policies always have some TV and video benefit but never benefits the ordinary man in any tangible way because this fake news will not reduce any price, put food on any table or buy fuel in car.

They design policies that cause fear and make the value of the Naira to fall and fall, and create a huge gap for the forex marketers to make super normal profit...and they show fake video.
