Seven Things About God

1. We believe there is Only One Unique God. It is written: (Deuteronomy 6:4) Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God [is] one LORD.

2. God is Creator of everything, this vast universe. All was created by His Word. He spoke it into being. It is written: (Genesis 1:3) And God said... and it was so. His Word is powerful.

3. How can we created beings know anything about God? How can we puny creatures know anything about His thoughts?

We can - but only because God Himself has chosen to reveal something about Himself to us. He is the God of Revelation. It is written: (Deuteronomy 29:29) The secret things belong to the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

What has God revealed about Himself to us?

4. He is Holy - pure - absolutely no evil can exist in or with Him. He has nothing to do with any sin, or wrong thinking, or evil. It is written: (Habakkuk 3:11) Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong.

5. He is Just - which means that all wrongdoing will be punished. Sometimes people are confused on this point. Justice is not the same as mercy. Justice means if you break the law, you pay the penalty.

God does not compromise His nature of Holiness. He punishes all wrong doing.

It is not as if God puts all our good deeds on one side of a scale, and all our bad deeds on the other side to see which is heavier. To use an example: If I were to murder your brother, would a judge be just who said, "It's OK. We can let him be free. He has done mostly good during his life." God does not close His eyes to wrong. He does not tolerate it.

But doesn't God know that we are all dust? That we are prone to make mistakes? There is no perfect man or woman. Yes, He knows. But does this mean that our mistakes don't matter to God? God is holy and just, so they matter greatly. If we understand this, then we realize that we are in a very bad situation.

If we are honest - which of us has never had a selfish or wrong thought? or never lied? Who can say that they have a pure heart before a Holy God?

And even if we were able to live without making mistakes now - what about the past? Does God have a poor memory? Does doing good erase doing wrong? No.

Each of us deserves God's judgment and Hellfire. It's not just a matter of saying a prayer, "I am sorry. I will try to do better next time." There would be no justice in that.

An example: If I drive through a red light and an officer stops me, is it any good saying, "But officer, I have been going through green lights the rest of my life!" If this argument wouldn't work with an officer, how much less with a Holy and Just God! It is written: (Romans 6:23) The payment of wrongdoing is death.

Fortunately for each one of us, this is not the end of the story.

6. God is Almighty - God can do anything He wants to. It is written: (Jeremiah 32:17) Ah Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm, nothing is too hard for you.

There are no limits - no bounds to His power.

God is consistent. God is not contradictory - He doesn't contradict His holiness or justice. He does not violate His law.

Let me ask a question: "How do you get to know someone?" You might be able to tell something about others from the way they look. But you can't know what they think, what's in their heart. We need to hear a person's words. Their words tell what is inside their heart, what they are thinking in their mind.

If I want to communicate my wishes to you, there are several ways of doing it. I might send you a letter, writing down my thoughts. You could read it. But you might have questions, or not understand something. A better way is to send my letter with a good friend, someone who knows me well. My friend would be able to explain something of what I am saying. Better yet, I telephone you, and you can talk with me directly. But best of all, I come to you in person, and we meet face to face.

God's Word spoke the universe into being. His Word is powerful beyond our comprehension. He wants us to know Him. God gave His written Word in the law. He sent the prophets to explain and clarify His Word. It is written: (Hebrews 1:1) In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways.

God is so powerful that nothing is impossible - if God wants to, His WORD can actually come to us, face to face. His Word can become a man.

7. God is LOVE - God loves us and wants us to know Him - so His Word became a man.

It is written: (John 1:1,14) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the Glory of the One and Only.

Jesus is the Word of God. The pure and Holy Word of God.

Remember Abraham and his son? (Genesis 22:1-14) Abraham wanted to obey and submit to God. He took his son to sacrifice him, and on the way his son asked, "The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the offering?" Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the Lamb for the offering." Abraham laid his son on the altar for sacrifice and was about to slay him when God called to him, "Abraham! Do not lay a hand on the boy!" And Abraham looked up and saw a ram God momentously provided, caught by its horns, and sacrificed it instead. His son was ransomed.

The Bible calls Jesus the Lamb of God (John 1:29) when the prophet John declared, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" He ransomed us. In love, God's Word took the judgment we deserved upon Himself.

But He didn't stay dead - He could not - He rose victorious - and conquered death.



HOW CAN WE KNOW GOD?

How can we know God? It isn't easy - it takes humility.

It takes humility to recognize that we are dust, that we have unclean hearts, and our deeds deserve Hell.

It takes humility to receive what God has done: He washes us clean, makes us pure, and gives His Spirit to help us live lives of obedience.

There is great joy and freedom in knowing God - the One and Only God, the Creator, the One who Reveals Himself, who is Holy, Just, Almighty, and Loving.

He calls us not to be servants, but His children. Jesus says (John 15:15) I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead I have called you friends.

It is written: (John 1:12) To all who received Him, who believed in His name, He gave power to become children of God.

May the Love and Salvation of God reach your hearts, Amen!

Ok. Sir.

- Just go to any customary court near you.
- buy affidavit form for 2k plus 20k bribe
- change your name
- go to any newspaper office near you and pay 3k for change of name publication
- do it quickly so that you will not extend your misfortune to your children

Haba Baba, on a serious note, I can swear that you have T-pains phone number. Call him and repent.
Thank me later

This is just jealousy and petty thinking.
Go and get your own money and compete.
There is nothing like a monopoly here. Buying trucks is not rocket science and there is no law that stops you from buying yours!

Man Raises Alarm After Spotting Hundreds of Dangote Tankers, Sparks Monopoly Fears

A Nigerian man has raised concerns after recording hundreds of Dangote fuel tankers lined up on a highway. He claimed that the billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, might be planning to dominate Nigeria’s petroleum industry.

According to reports, the new fleet of trucks owned by the Dangote Group runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Each truck is designed to transport refined fuel products such as petrol and diesel directly from the Dangote Refinery to filling stations across the country.

The company reportedly plans to deploy about 4,000 CNG-powered tankers in total. These trucks are not only fuel-efficient but also help reduce logistics costs when compared to diesel-powered vehicles.

This move, however, has stirred controversy among independent fuel marketers. Many believe it gives Dangote an unfair advantage that could lead to a monopoly in the petroleum distribution sector. Despite the criticism, Dangote Group insists that the decision is purely strategic and aimed at improving efficiency and cutting costs.

By handling its own logistics, Dangote is seeking to distribute fuel products directly — bypassing independent marketers who traditionally dominate the supply chain. This new system, which is expected to fully take off by August 2025, represents a major shift in Nigeria’s fuel distribution model.

With a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, the Dangote Refinery is the largest in Africa and one of the biggest single-train refineries in the world. Its massive production scale has raised fears that it could control a significant share of the local market and influence fuel prices nationwide.

Industry groups such as the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) have warned that the move might cripple smaller marketers and cause job losses. The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has also clashed with the company over labor-related issues.

In response, Aliko Dangote has dismissed claims of monopoly, urging other investors to build their own refineries instead of “using the cry of monopoly to stall growth.”

The company also explained that its decision to invest in CNG-powered trucks and manage its own fuel distribution is a response to market challenges, including boycotts and what it described as “unfair competition” from fuel importation cartels.

Dangote further noted that over 30 refinery licenses have been issued to private companies in Nigeria — including BUA, Aradel, and Waltersmith — showing that the market remains open for competition.

He emphasized that the Dangote Refinery has transformed Nigeria into a net exporter of refined products, improving energy security and reducing dependence on imported fuels.

To promote transparency and broader ownership, Dangote also announced plans to list the refinery on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), allowing ordinary Nigerians to invest and own shares in the company.

Mr ogogoro, when you were spewing careless and words coming out of your mouth, you never remember abi? NK will play the tape of all the witnesses he called out when they said one thing or the order about him, Ipob, and ESN to justify his defence. NK will cross examine them with their own words before the court.

And so what if he plays the tape?
What of his own tape against all other Nigerians on radio biafra

No time for heartbreak. If you can’t marry the sidekick, keep her somewhere and do your manly duties.

You can’t have money and still suffer heartbreaks.

I agree with you100%, both in theory and in practice!
Always have a spare tyre and a life jacket for safety!

Be a good man but don't make the mistake of being harmless man.

And if I am wrong, then lets see you wearing the jersey of your local team because you qualify to be in the team

Let's learn to be understanding and kind to these young men and women who always wear our national colors to represent us and make us proud.

The short answer is YES but...... You must get educated in the business before you start anything!!!!

Get an existing building material seller and plead with them to do an apprenticeship of 3 months or more. That way you will learn the basics and ins and outs of the business.
Get the right education through apprenticeship and the you can answer your own question by yourself.

Nigeria’s Finance Minister Wale Edun Flown Abroad After Suffering Stroke, Tinubu Seeks Urgent Replacement

Yes. It is recognised even for a PhD outside Nigeria.
Some years ago, someone with a noun Msc was shortlisted for a sponsored PhD programme

West10:
Your post hit me in a personal way, I'm currently in this situation...

1. Establish clear boundaries when you feel manipulated and overwhelmed.

2. The method that works for me is that I never send money for anything tagged "urgent". I always demand atleast One Month's prior 'to plan' notice before I send any money.
it is way family and friends manipulate you into making unplanned expenditure which always causes you to regret and disrupts your life and plans.

You no fit just wake up, impose artificial urgency on my life. It is your emergency not mine.

3. Never allow anybody to guilt you into giving them anything. It is not worth it and you don't even receive God's blessings for being manipulated into giving.

4. Beware and aware of manipulation from religious organisations especially Churches and gods of men!

tctrills:
You don't really understand. Asian are much more closer to their families than you blacks and that's what makes them super competitive and successful in Europe and America.

Same with the Jews. These people prioritize family and community.
They invest in their family and community and it makes them successful.

It's not a black thing, it's a good thing

Black Americans on the other hand have destroyed the family system. Their men don't take care of their babies talk less of their parents and they have become a failed community.

The other groups you mentioned usually support the growth of family through business and mentorship not through incessant handouts and entitled demands.
And there is a huge difference.

I will give you a real life example to buttress my point.
A childhood friend came to me asking if I can come up with capital to start a business that he has competence in as a joint venture. So I will provide money and he will setup and operate the business in our behaves. I gave him about 4m over 7years ago and today the same business is thriving worth over 10m and I have also recieved more than the 4m I invested. He has bought and built a property for himself in a major city in Nigeria. He is now married and runs his family from the same business.
Now juxtapose with my own blood brother, on whom I have wasted money paying for a university program from which he has not still graduated almost 10years now.
He was manipulating me through my mum whom he knows I take good care of and will never disobey. He would collect money from me and still ask my mother to talk me into giving him more. or he just collects the money that I give her and making her broke. Which still requires me to give her more.
I gave him the only car that i was driving so that he can use it for Uber but the idiot was asking me to buy brand new tyres for the car.
I was pissed off. But it helped me see that I was wasting money on an entitled ingrate in the name of family.

I drew a hefty line in the sand and told him that the car is the last thing that I will ever give him and he can do with his life as he wishes.
I also told my mother not to ask me for money on his behalf directly or indirectly. I have stood my grounds now for over 2yrs.

My point is that one should only help those who are willing to help themselves not to patronise entitled ingrates in the name of family. That is some manipulating bullshit.

Note: I literally fought myself through life with God's favor, my mother's prayers and sheer grit.

My blessed popsy passed on when I was still young. May God bless his soul and send light to his grave. He was a great man and father.

I personally prefer being supportive to family and friends than the individualistic, self centred life that i have seen in Europe and America.

You go guide but your own family members and friends go kpai front hunger and lack.

Very recently, a friend's aunty kpai alone for over 4 days inside her apartment in London before dem smell her stench. She dey alone no family present and no family dey call her to check on her. And she has kids and grand kids. May be na ulcer kpai her sef

How is this guy going to focus on running any other business as claimed, this marriage is already a big profitable portfolio for him

He is from a privileged background too. Him Papa guide wella and he is more successful than Temi as an individual - if we remove Papa name in the discussion.
His parents are also rich and after a point, there is no much difference between people of means.

You’re very correct, that’s why signing the contract in front of a very strong deity will be ultimate…

he heh he he ... yours is a fantastic idea to ensure accountability

floss:
I don’t think it’s a bad idea if both teams signs an MOU before a legal practitioner or a very strong deity before the match begins to avoid fielding an ineligible player during and after the match.

In reality the visiting team would pretend to play by the rules only to turn around and be calling the other team á deadbeat team and scum, etc.
They may even call the referee who is usually on their side to administer a penalty on the opposing team despite the initial agreement. Any agreement with that team is usually futile as they only remember agreements that favour them and if you make that mistake, you will be responsible for finacial, moral and economic well being of the'goal scored. The worst part is that the goal will grow up being brainwashed into thinking that you are an irresponsible player and a deadbeat.
There is no win for you and you have a liability of more that 25years hanging on your neck!

Dey play. You want Nigeria to be like Canada but you no want make Government tax you...

Does this government look like they have a purpose of improving Nigeria and the lives of Nigerians.
What are you taxing people from? When the government has intentionally impoverished people as a policy?

Using your logic, what is the minimum wage in Canada compared to Nigeria? Or do you mean the comparison should only be for tax?

30k.... defenders .... even if it makes no sense.
So Kenya is now a justification and a benchmark for the brazen theft and incompetence perpetrated by this government
To justify the pay and bigotry, silence all dissenting voices and opinions by "moderating" out views that differ from their lies.
