Politics › Re: Osinbajo, A Total Disappointment To South-west - Afenifere by tomquest:
Whatever argument which makes logical sense in Nigeria, as long as the Awusa man in Zamfara doesn't lay his fingers DIRECTLY on allocation coming from the crude oil in the SS, he will never agree to it. This is why Buhari is northernizing the Nigerian Army so as to "hold Nigeria together as one" in case of any eventualities.

Let's not deceive ourselves, the brand of federalism we practice today is designed and sustained to favour the Awusas. This is why Abuja's federal civil service is just overbloated with mostly Northerners playing ludo under trees in various ministries. At the end of the month they would all collect salaries from crude oil proceeds.

We are going nowhere walking backwards in this country. Every lousy state government must get ready to sustain herself with her own resources. Scrap the useless Senate which consumes what it doesn't generate or work for. But will the Awusas agree?

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Morally Right For A Pastor To Use A Phone To Read Out Bible? by tomquest: 3:37pm On Jul 10, 2016
refiner:
Good morning and merry Sunday friends...smiley

I don't seem to get a satisfactory answer to these...and I think here might be in a better position to give me the answers I crave for...

in my church,*name undisclosed*the pastor uses a phone to read bible....but I wish to ask if it's morally right for a pastor to use a phone to read bible while preaching...

it maybe ignored if it was being used by a member,but we are talking about a pastor here,who stands by the pulpit to preach the word of God...but instead of the bible,he uses a phone...
Do you require a bible or phone to quote john 3:16?

The word of God is spirit and whether you read it out from a stone, a book or a phone (of course the phone should at best be on airplane mode to avoid distacting calls) doesn't matter.


In fact if you can cram the entire bible and read passages by heart, that's awesome because God prefers His word to be written in your heart.
Christianity Etc › Re: How Abuja Female RCCG Preacher Met Her Death In The Hands Of Violent Extremists by tomquest: 3:19pm On Jul 10, 2016
In this dangerous country a young woman has the liver to walk around alone at 5am preaching? No male partner with her, just a deadly solo mission in a country where every street has at least one church. If this woman was married I blame the husband! How can you allow your wife to walk the deadly streets alone at such a time?

Will it be cheaper if Apple phones are made in the US..


Will the specifications change?
A Chinese worker would agree to work for 25 percent of an American worker's pay. And passionately too! So their product turns out cheaper.

Donald Trump says that if he becomes president, he will "require Apple she started to make their computers and iPhones in our land, not in China." Bernie Sanders also made the same speech saying that Apple should make some devices in the US instead of China.

http://www.michellhilton.com/2016/07/apple-china-iphone-trump.html
Talk is cheap. Sounds like another APC. How many Americans would be ready to work for the same Chinese hourly wages? At $10 per hour, for sure iPhone 6 wouldn't sell for less than 400,000 Naira. Global sales would drop.

I dont know why i find this thread so funny. U go fear beggars nah. Person go tell u say him no dey eat again dis days. Then u go come dey wonder wetin bin dey happen b4 dis thread was opened. Nigerians, una dey very funny.
Some of the people you call beggars today would be wealthy tomorrow. Please don't come here to mock anyone especially if you have no help to offer anyone here. Those giving out money ain't fools.

If you can eat twice or trice a day don't laugh at the students who cry that they are hungry and have no money. It's reality!

Just read comments if you are not here to put a smile on someone's face. Stop discouraging those whom God is using to show love to people.

Sebi na pesin wey something dey hin belle dey call for revolution, the poverty rate here won't allow this. I think it can only work if some group of people can mobilize the youths nationwide to join in the revolutionary fight and promise them a little amount of money like a contract agreement but then where is the money to fund such fight? Those who have that kind of money obviously do not care about the masses or they are busy securing the future of their great grand children. Do we still have hope in this country at all? Peoples mindset has been changed drastically, it all started in 1956, bad leadership led us here. Can there ever be a leader who will ignite this revolution? How worse will things be in 10years time? The best I can think of is to hustle whatever one can and Bleep out of this hell we call Nigeria, e go ever better so?
I sometimes laugh when I hear some people call for revolution. It simply shows that there can never be any revolution. It's like living in a dirty house with 9 other nonchalant people and then expecting that one day SOMEONE would tidy up the whole place. But in reality SOMEONE doesn't exist. No body bears that name. Nobody wants to bell the cat.

Everybody wakes up in the morning hoping that SOMEONE would revolt. We've lived with that pseudo hope since 1960. This is 2016 and we are still expecting that heroic SOMEONE to revolt. In Egypt, a guy set himself ablaze and that was how the whole country shook in it's foundations. But here in Naira, give a hungry man 5k and we buy more time for looters and polithiefcians.

Like you aptly said,the mentality of our youths is pretty much messed up. The way out is to first work on our collective psyche, a kind of fine tuning. You can only expect germination in a well fertilized soil. Not on rocks.

stop lying please, I don't live in Nigeria and I don't dream of going back to that hell hole. here there is constant electricity and pipe borne water and cheap food, rent is cheap and it is per month not years as it is in Nigeria so if you went to Somalia, that is not everywhere. Even Cotonou is better than your abuja so bitch please don't make me pee with laughter.
Guy stop sounding rude. I've lived a good part of my life in Canada and I've also spent vacations in USA, so don't talk as if you know it all. Understand when someone makes a simple point that PROBLEMS WONT SOLVE THEMSELVES, AND THE SOLUTION IS NOT ALWAYS TO RUN AWAY FROM NIGERIA. I was working 9-5 in the West then, but today I've workers on my payroll in Nigeria.

You Mister Nigeria-is-a-hell-hole, have you ever asked yourself what are all the white expatriates/workers doing in Nigeria? Hell-hole right?

Count yourself lucky. Perhaps you are using the most updated (high end) ones. I've had some android user friends complain of "strange apps installing themselves.
Phones › Re: Malware Hits Millions Of Android Phones. Is Your Phone Affected? Mine Was. by tomquest: 6:57pm On Jul 09, 2016
This is one of the reasons why android is a no-no for me. I've stuck to Apple's iOS since 2010, notwithstanding that's it's not really a "fluid" choice in terms of connectivity with other OSes. I've been using iPhones without "antivirus" and have never had issues with malware/virus or their likes. Truth is if you do sensitive information-related stuffs on your phone (such as internet banking) stay away from android. Personally my phone is my bank, safe, diary, and lots more which I can't afford to be compromised by some self-installing malwares.

iOS is peace of mind.

Mathemagician1:
On the contrary. What I saw on that thread was a proof of Nigerians narrow mindedness with a crave for quick fix. It was a clear indication that Nigerians are OK with the crumbs they get from the politicians and it shows just how the politicians exploit the people by keeping them in abject poverty and giving them crumbs from time to time whenever they cry for a revolution.

The Op spoke deeply about the insensitivity of the Government to the plight of the people. Kind of like a revolutionary call that normally would ignite fierce anger in our mind. But Nigerians being Nigerians hijacked the thread and turned it into a jamboree. Nothing is taken seriously in this country.

Out of the blue someone offered to donate N5000 to 2 people, another person offered N4000 each to 5 people while someone else offered 50,000 to 10 people and it went on and on like a bonanza, completely defeating the essence of the thread. What fuckeryhuh

After these generous donations have been exhausted then what? Does it solve the problem of unemployment the OP talked about? Does it solve the hunger or curb inflation? Is N5000 what Nigerian graduates need to start up a business. Nigerians are truly very narrow minded, majority of the people lack critical thinking skills.

Such a pathetic situation we've found ourselves.
Really pathetic.

I don't see Nigeria developing at all. Infact Nigerias destiny is likely a break-up or Somalia. I say this because for development to occur, the mentality of the people has to change first of all before manifestations come in the physical. We don't have that modern mindset so we can't have a modern society.
Obviously we are operating on a faulty foundation but all hope is not lost.

that was my best thread this year.
Lol me too. The guy was just too real and honest. I'm sure he will succeed.
Politics › Nigeria Has Finished Me: Lessons Learnt by tomquest(op):
The original thread was really heart wrenching, plain, truthful, honest, and touching. I started with the thread on ghost mode, the writer was writing in pidgin and flowing really naturally in his Lamentations of the sufferings unemployed youths are facing in present day Naija.

Then suddenly someone in the thread offered to give out some tokens to our suffering youths. That was almost novel but several other persons later joined him in the kind gestures

So what can we learn from that thread that has hit over 62 pages as I type?

1) Nigerians are kind people
2) Nigerians are loving
3) Nigeria can be a very great place
4) there is hope for the future no matter what you are going through now
5) our problem is not the other tribe, religion or region. Our problem is greedy leaders
6) love cuts across religion and tribe
7) your brother is not necessarily that person tied to you by blood
8 we must unite in love and stop abusing each other because of politicians and their devilish political parties
9) many Nigerians help because they CARE; not because of what they can get from you, like we see with the politicians
10) youths can come together to face their common enemy: BAD LEADERSHIP

God bless those givers and may those youths in need never lack again. May God provide them with the jobs and breakthrough they enerstly seek, amen!






POSTSCRIPT:

I sometimes laugh when I hear some people call for revolution. It simply shows that there can never be any revolution. It's like living in a dirty house with 9 other nonchalant people and then expecting that one day SOMEONE would tidy up the whole place. But in reality SOMEONE doesn't exist. No body bears that name. Nobody wants to bell the cat.

Everybody wakes up in the morning hoping that SOMEONE would revolt. We've lived with that pseudo hope since 1960. This is 2016 and we are still expecting that heroic SOMEONE to revolt. In Egypt, a guy set himself ablaze and that was how the whole country shook in it's foundations. But here in Nigeria, give a hungry man 5k and we buy more time for looters and polithiefcians. Even the NDA guys who are trying to make a bold- albeit violent- sociopolitical statement for the ND youths are being stabbed in the back by some other hungry ND youths. So what shape would the revolution take?

The mentality of our youths is pretty much messed up. The way out is to first work on our collective psyche, a kind of fine tuning. Hitler used this tactic before he unleashed his dragons. You can only expect germination in a well fertilized soil. Not on rocks.

Its a shameful act to beg but what can one do when faced with frustrations, joblessness and suicide thoughts after schooling for several years and still dependent on friends and family to survive?


I would appreciate any kind hearted person on here to please extend some form of financial intervention to me. Any amount will help.

God bless u as u help
When faced with extreme lack, it's better to beg than to steal.

But always tell yourself, I shall be a giver and not a receiver in my lifetime!

Challenge God! Tell God to prove Himself in your life. Remember the story of Joseph.
