Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ alrewdy informed you that it is not what you eat/ingest that makes you filthy in anyway or form. So whether it is a hobby or done too much, it does not render you filthy, not where God is concerned.

Instead what makes you filthy is what you have inside of you.

Honestly you have a point.

DappaD:
Enough of the excuses. You would have done well not to include the highlighted in your concluding statements because what I presented was the Bible’s view on the matter. I’m in no way responsible for whether you respect the Bible or follow the counsel found in it so please next time know how to construct your sentences.

I’m still looking for either the OP or any other person to disprove the points I clearly laid earlier, so far it’s only “You’re wrong, You’re wrong” and making up excuses yet absolutely no one could put up a strong logical argument from the Bible that’s why I’ve been ignoring most of the petty comments.

“cleanse ourselves from all filthiness[or defilement] of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” —2Corinthians 7:1
And so that implies that we should not contaminate our bodies with harmful substances such as the above which you mentioned since they are lead cause of dreadful disease

I understand what you said and i was replying to your question... i said its not a bad thing if someone smokes but when it is too much more like an hobbie then it is filth just like the bible says... anything we consume into our body has its positives but when it gets too much or its becoming an addiction then it becomes filth... even drugs has amount you should take but when taken too much it becomes drug abuse which is filth to our body.
that my point

So you dont know even the food we eat are not good for our body when we eat too much? it disorganised our digestive system or even might makes us sick... So does that mean we shouldn't eat anymore? One thing is if anything is too much it becomes bad... Smoking is never bad but when it gets too much then it is considered bad... If you mean smoking can kill us then you know how harzadous this country is with smokes and fumes coming from companies and vehicles? It they could have just killed us 5 to 10 years after our birth since smoke is bad. in the village my grandmother uses firewood to cook since she was a little girl and she didn't die. please stop misleading people... if you don't like smoking its okay but don't say its a sin. simple

From a Biblical standpoint, we are given the admonition to “cleanse ourselves from all filthiness[or defilement] of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” —2Corinthians 7:1
And so that implies that we should not contaminate our bodies with harmful substances such as the above which you mentioned since they are lead cause of dreadful disease which culminates in death and more importantly, that one who smokes or abuses his body becomes unclean and an unclean person will not inherit God’s Kingdom. Ephesians 5:5

funshint:
No matter what, this guy does not deserve this. Those involved in this act of molestation should be arrested and prosecuted.

I know you are sick and people who are giving you cheap likes are sick like you are... You all complain about law not working in Nigeria and it shows that you people are part of the problems in Nigeria with your speech...
It states that it's an offense in Nigeria and punishable and you are still saying it's okay to go against the law means you are sick...

Section 5(2) criminalises registering, operating or participating in gay clubs, societies or organisations, or making a public show of a same-sex relationship with a penalty of ten years imprisonment.5

Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act 2013, S. 5(3) Aiding or Solemnicising a Same-Sex Marriage or Supporting an LGBT Organisation...

Those people that beat him knows we are in a shit hole country because if it's a country with working law the gay should be arrested and sent to jail including the people supporting it simple ...
If he knows he wants to display being gay he should go to the USA
I can't believe so many people are sick in this country and it shows you are an hypocritical Human... Look at someone that abuses the politicians of going against the law and you are defending someone going against the law here.

Yes it does... I was a victim of one way hit and run but thank God it's not a deadly one... Charity busstop he ran away and I was left with wound on my leg and my back.
Trust me if you are once a victim you will support it and know it's worth it... Another almost happened to me in Port Harcourt.... Amechi drive area close to Agip roundabout... I hate Port Harcourt for this stupid one way drive thing

incogni2o:
I get you Bro.

But this is not a question of did he do wrong?

Rather does the wrong warrant the penalty

AdeOri99:
No hour at all, it didn't died out of wears, i used it to charge a faulty phone, which makes the battery goes to sleep, but it can be awakened.
I resides at oyo.

I will add 5 thousand if you are interested I don't know who we can meet so you can inspect mine in person... cos it seems you are far away

Why is he carrying coffin? I think he ate to his satisfaction and he had so much energy... If he wants to make a point can't he just say something rather than carrying a coffin? This person kinda look sick mentally to me...lol

AdeOri99:
Nothing is wrong with my laptop, except the battery.
Your location and how much will you add, if it can do what i want to use it for, i'm game.

Didn't get your pm and I would love to have a private message... I reside in Lagos State but in Port Harcourt right now. I have no problem with my laptop and if you are in Lagos you can check it out in person. So how many hours or should I say minutes do your battery lasts?

History555:
Which school did you attend. because your story is just here and there. No sequence, no sense.

It's a typo and I didn't edit it... All I am saying is the news didn't tell us it was the police who were shooting in abia cos a little fight between motorist they told us unknown gun men came to attack... Whereas someone living in abia explained what happened with pictures... Is that not a fake news?
Same goes to what they said concerning military that came to attack... There were lots of lies in the new cos you cant say those houses and card burnt are worth billions of naira... Do they even know how many millions makes a billion? Let alone billions? It sounds like a fake news to me and secondly this actual news said the military came to attack innocent people on Wednesday which the first news said the military came to attack gun men operating in the community both news by people living there are the news not contradicting? Simple...
All I am saying is fake news are everywhere now

Okoroawusa:
You will live long

Amen and same to you too.

History555:
Which school did you attend. because your story is just here and there. No sequence, no sense.

I attended you've got no sense of comprehension college of education located close to your house.
I wonder what you score in your English language. This is not even about typographical error it's just a simple comprehension and you can't comprehend.

AdeOri99:
Good
i have a core i5 laptop for only 40k, check my profile

Would you like an exchange with a working perfect lenovo x131e Intel core i3 with battery life 4hours 3gb ddr3 memory and 250gb hdd with charger but I don't have the external DVD rom... and I will add a little money and I hope your laptop is not faulty?

Ezeama400:
Buhari will finish this country..


Good morning one Nigeria crusaders

I pity some southern fo..olish clowns who still believe in the unity of Nigeria.. Keep singing one Nigeria until you become a victim of a failed Nation like Nigeria


Divide Nigeria now to save lives !!

And you still believe this news? A Nigerian using the word civilian ... It is only military personal that uses the word civilian
And they said properties worth billions were destroyed? With he house I saw there and let's say 400 of those houses including some 2012 new vehicles were burnt won't account to billions of naira in additional I don't take this new serious in a previous news they said eye withness said the military came to shoot and airborne gun men due to soldiers were attacked there were issues in the community which happened on Tuesday but this comes with another narattiob of airborne on Wednesdays not even Tuesday anymore.... Reminds me of the lies about shootout in abia by unknown gun men before someone who is there live came to narrate even what caused the we shooting by police officers.
Fake news all over Nigeria nowadays

Umueme:
The purported claim that gun men invaded Aba today is FALSE .

The reason behind the shootings was that an argument ensued between a white sienna driver and a keke driver, they were arguing at Number 1 (Azikiwe road). A police man on mufti (SARS/RRS) who decided to intervene on the power of his uniform was beaten up.

He however managed to call his colleagues who on reaching the scene fired randomly into the air. Hereby causing the entire people there to run helter skelter.

Soldiers positioned at Bata junction now blocked the road (Bata junction) on hearing gunshots. Probably to protect themselves. Officers at CPS (Central Police Station) Aba also fired shots into the air. Traffic was grounded and people were now running everywhere. Rumours now started flying about that gunmen were attacking CPS. Already the topic has hit Nairaland Frontpage already.

There was no injury or loss of lives. But the windscreens of the vehicles at the point the argument started were all smashed. Rumour is that the RRS officers are responsible.

Normalcy has since returned as the soldiers have already removed there road block at Bata Junction

First RRS is a unit of Lagos State Police funded by Lagos State government and SARS is no more and secondly the soldiers block the road so that the attackers coming out won't be able to come out with vehicle and will be forced to move on foot so it will be easy target for them to take down also know as Road block formation.
Thanks for the information and picture. Fake news plenty nowadays o

amuwo1980:
Thanks for this , some ppl are inside okitipupa and ogbmosho thinking that they are safe and egging on the government to kill all Igbo ppl , well things cud pan out differently, the heat go reach all man.

Anyone who thinks kanu is right for calling for war should think twice. Watch hotel rewanda you will understand...
Let kanu come and lead in person first or if he can't come let any of his family members lead the way but in a diplomatic way not by killing or shooting. Or rather let him fix any of abia LGA then abia cities then abia state in general first before fighting for a nation not telling people to wage war while he is in peace abroad

Mayng01:
Nothing can save Nigeria from breaking. It makes no sense continuing in a senseless marriage. North is already ravaged with killings, now the east are no longer warming up but already in action, west is already agitating Yoruba nation. While the country called Nigeria has no president. God, save your children from the negative unforeseen

You haven't seen or involved in anything fun or bomb battle.... I was there when the bomb starts to explode in Lagos oshodi we ran for our lives lot died and I mean thousands not from the bomb but trying to escape any explosion... We were crying when they did mass burial at oke afa which is still there till date at least 5 people are buried in a single coffin. What I am saying is that's not an attak on us but imagine how many will die if it's an attack... Don't support anything violence... It won't affect just you but it will affect everyone's life. Don't pray for war or riot. Watch what happened in Liberia with street full of skulls or Sudan or rewanda or watch hotel rewanda. You won't pray for riots or war. Cos we all lose at the end.

Jig5aw:
This is wrong. State institutions and places of learning should neutral. Except it’s a school owned by a particular Faith.
A lot of people make biased decisions based on the faith they profess and we all know this. That’s why truly Democratic institutions separates State from Faith.

I like your comment.
I love you put those sentences. Simple and plain

OnyeOlokoro:
As long as it's permitted in the Northern and Western parts of Nigeria to commiserate Fulani&Yoruba as 1 , it Ok by Us

Here in the East, Its either u wear the school uniform without adding or removing anything to it or u leave our school and goto hell

we don't tolerate hypocrisy and nzuzu in the East

I don't like the Muslim people clamore for the rubbish hijab but you lied about the east... I have seen Catholic girls wear roseries and the covers to school and I just don't like anything religion and school entangled together but in Nigeria we worship religions not even practicing it... And we try to practice the traditions of people who brought the religion rather than just take the traditional off the religion.
Yet that doesn't stop all sort of crime in Nigeria...
Country with highest number of hypocritical clueless people both from North, east and west

felixedet:
The most clueless person that ever run the affairs of Nigeria GMB......

What a regime filled with contradictions everywhere.... liying is now an official government policy.
Deception is the Hallmark of electoral promises made..

Blame game, excuses and outright denial of responsibility is all Buhari, APC knows so much about....

Spits,.,.........
Shame on all those that brought this calamity on Nigerians.

No the stupid clueless starts from us! We don't know what we want as citizens cos we are greedy, tribalistic and clueless in nature... First we Nigerians don't know when we are being played in politics games cos of our personal greed and tribalism and even when we know we use greed to destroy everything... End Sara saga for an example it shows how clueless Nigerians are... We shout apc and pdp either cos of tribe or our greed of 500 naira we collected instead of coming together and find a cure to the dieseas and what scared me the most even if we come together to bring in a cure, the cure is even a dieseas ... That's Nigeria...

Aconomist:
Dangote Cement Nigeria has the highest profit margins of any cement company on earth by a factor of 3x higher than the second most profitable. His cost of production doesn't even matter at that point. Stop arguing blindly.

His profit margin in Nigeria is 60% compared to less than 20% South Africa.

You are right on that and just like what I have said... Whose person's fault is that? You blame dangote for that but did you know how much the government collect from him for tax alone? and how he fund their election just to gain firends? In Nigeria we call it settlement...imagine you were to transport a bag of rice from Lagos to delta and you settle 100 police on your way, please wont you put an increment? Are you expecting him to lose? Everything still boil downs to all I said about the government... Aside the government things are upside down in the country so you expect him to lose? If he was wrong about the increment then why is government not saying anything about his increment? Look at how much we are paying for data to browse in this country... It all boils down to government... You tax us big with some settlement here and there we will increase our prices... Ask virgin airways during Jonathan's regimn or research it to know what he said... He didn't hide his mouth, he said it all and left the country including his business...

hotwax:
ambushed or was given to them as gift

dont trust fulani controlled military

All this are politics and why move such huge amount in a truck when we have crypto currency transfer or wire transfer... Everything is politics by greedy people that's all

Aconomist:
oh shut up man. You don't understand the cement industry. All cement plants have their own powerplants and that makes their cost of production cheaper, not more expensive. Maybe you aren't smart enough to understand this. And I'm sick of explaining it to you idiots.

You shut up because you don't even research before you type rubbish... Research. First... And the power plant is run by what? Cement... It shows how daft you are or you have little knowledge about business... Did you even read the news at all since 2016 till date concerning the problem and upgrade he is actually facing concerning the shortage of gas to power his plants and so on... It shows you know next to nothing...

yinkus6750:
A governor should make utterances he can proof and defend.
Not playing politics with everything.
He should have mention names, if he was very sure

They know themselves... This is Nigeria or do you think everything happening in Nigeria today from bokoharam to IPOB to Amotekun to the protests and so on are not all politics doings?
Everything is all about greed politics and that's just the truth... This is Nigeria the country of greed& politics. All of us do things so we can benefit from it. That's a lesson I learnt the hard way in Nigeria from the poorest masses to the huge elites
Truths are bitter than gall

[quote author=Aconomist post=100611408]Forget Ghana. That's a corrupt monkey country just like Nigeria, and they don't even have limestone. Look at places like South Africa and India.

You have a point but you didn't look at the fact that lets use South African because I know very less about India... South African had a steady electricity compare to Nigeria that runs every production on generator... That factor alone may increase the hike... It's all business and if business is not making the average gain then the business will surely sink... Some factors we are not looking into is electricity, transportation system and the country's policy itself... We have greedy people in government who doesn't care about the masses... They will impose huge returns on companies without looking at the effect... During Jonathan period remember what virgin airways said... He said Nigeria is a dream killer and he was referring to the politicians... I don't know why some people see either Jonathan or buhari as a saint... They are all useless people

uniquetechng:
If the poorest team can beat Germany 2-1 in Berlin last week then the current Danish team that has defeated England can beat them too

Any team can beat any team... That's sport for you... It might even surprised you that India might beat Nigeria in football one day but that doesn't mean they are pairs of a group... They are not even mate even judging by either team play or individual plays unless you don't watch football. Ronaldo and Messi do have their bad days too doesn't mean you will compare Mikel with Messi or osime with Ronaldo

SIGE:
All of you saying Denmark shouldn't be on the list Whalai una no know football...you all just spilling sh*it, naija no fit beat Denmark 2nd team.

So you are saying Denmark can beat Germany cos I don't see Germany in the top 10 which makes me think all this list is rubbish.

jaszplus12:
I saw a comment on facebook where someone was insulting Dangote for selling cement in Ghana...he quoted the price as equivalent to #800. Of course out of ignorance! Cement is 38-39 Ghana cedis equivalent to about #2,500...in fact Dangote cement is 39 cedis....so I wonder what people want...the condition you mentioned are quite different in Ghana because almost everything is available...

Don't mind all of them... I did a research and you are right... I was so bling following what people are saying but I get to know that we Nigerians are the problem of this country because I don't know why we like to talk aboit anything in Nigeria in a bad way. People are just bad and I wonder what they will gain from spreading fake bad news

That nengi doesn't have ass... Her ass is like that of Jennifer Lopez... Let someone like Nicki Minaj comes then we will know... Nengi is a flat ass girl... Maybe cos she's not yoruba. I guess not trying to be tribalist but it's truth and every nigerias knows

caringchi:
#BBNaija lockdown
I never believed Nengi will leave before Dorathy ���

Loads you said? Seems it been a long time you stepped out of you house or room or hang out with friends especially the loaded ones and see naija girls Bleep up... Not just the singles but the married are also involved.
You should say 2% out of 100 then I will go with you...
You know naija women not but you will later.

Kevsmart88:
Valid submissions and facts you just stated. It's not always one way traffic all the time guys. Yes, the present crop of women are basically manipulative in nature but truth be said, there are loads of good gals ( Nigerian) out there.

Yes it is normal for small people to cramp into a small thing. Watch the game of thrones about Kings landing, do you know NY has a higher population than some other bigger states in USA. The problem in Nigeria is we all want to claim some stupid tribal stuff in which even the land and everything no one but the government owns it all. The tribe is only in your head and it has no international recognition . Tribalism is one major problem in this country and people are not ready to change.
Kano was built by the hausa, onisha was built by the igbos and Lagos was built by the yorubas simple. Will it kill anyone. Even our stupid forefathers knows next to nothing but started this triabal stuff due to their selfishness and it leads to stupid children

Len234:
What people do not understand is that Nigeria is a country that lacks structure and is bedeviled with tribalism. A serious country will have functioning ports in all states on the Atlantic coast. China has 34 main ports and 2000 minor ports around the country. Calling the achievement of Lagos, a Yoruba effort is like a slap to all Nigerians that fought the Civil war. Because Lagos is a brainchild of Nigeria. It is Nigerian pet project. It housed many companies and parastatals brought by Nigerians from different parts of the country. It is even mediocre that Lagos is not even near Kigali in terms of development despite all the money poured in to its economy. Lagos is just the financial hub of Africa cos of efforts of Nigerians.Do u think 21 million ppl living in a small place like Lagos is healthy? The Nigerian government has failed to diversify the economy across various regions. The United States has California as the tech state, New York as financial, Massachusetts as education, Texas as agriculture, Miami as tourism, and other states to a degree.

Out know nothing. The Briton bulit most of it and all others are not excuse because other states can build it. In PH we have nice structures and even a Civic centres we can build others too but we are too blind to see that our state government are useless. The trains are done by the britons and those trains were used to move coals and other stuff to the ships on sea and that was how more things started getting huge like infrastructure and so on by the Briton residing because they wanna feel at home while in Lagos. The military era did next to nothing and Awolowo did alot to make Lagos bigger and concentration was part of it so what's your point?

phoenix911:
I know you have sense and you attained the highest educational level there is, but the reality is if Lagos was not built with the collective wealth of the federal republic of Nigeria Lagos will be like any other state in Nigeria that is the fact.
If I may ask, In what year did Lagos became the capital of Nigeria and I thought with all the sense and education you had, you would have known that Lagos became the capital in 1914 Please and research what was the federal government put on the ground after then you will argue with facts. You said the federal government was limited to Lagos Island, I hope you answer these questions for me, If it was limited just in the Island what was the airport, Police college, Immigration, doing in Ikeja, the national theater, Apapa port, the national stadium, trade fair, festac, university of Lagos, where are they located, and how many kilometers of roads in Lagos are federal roads. If you don't know, the majority of "famous" bridges, roads, and flyovers were all built by the federal government.

Honestly i read all your responses and it doesn't add up. It shows you know nothing about history. First I am not into this stupid tribal bullshit but I will be frank with you. The whites makes Lagos what it is and aside the whites the yorubas did their parts as well. Lagos is the first settlement for the Portuguese before the Briton and the name Lagos was a Portuguese name. Now lagos started growing then other states because of the concentration of the yorubas and again it's their region. Now tell me in Nigeria. Which is bigger and has more civilization like the Oyo empire and the Ile ife? Yoruba has been more civilized right from time even before the white came and Lagos is built by the white and the yorubas and that reminds me Lagos was once the capital. So don't tell me Nigerians built it. There was never a Nigeria before we have zonal leaders which are great Zic, Awolowo and tafawa balewa Mr Man, like I said there is no Nigeria build Lagos. If you don't have a point don't post junk. I hate no one or have tribal issue but I state the truth here.

mrvitalis:
Firstly Lagos can survive because over 70 years investment by all Nigerians ...it's not a Yoruba thing ....in the next 30 years Abuja would survive without federal allocation it's not a northern project


Secondly there was never a time Lagos State allocation was withheld never ...it was local government allocation and it has happened to bayelsa too ...when u create local government without federal approval that's what u get .....

There is internet verify lies they told ...no body they believe Yoruba propaganda again
