Fellow Nairalanders,

Good evening, I'm a novice when it comes to Lagos and it environs, please, I need the vehicle direction from Ojodu Berger to Awolowo road, Ikoyi.

I'm actually taking public transport

Please, help your brother

Op just remind me of home... Dat year, ehhhh, missing my Onimè. Com arrange d lemis for dat native clay pot, ewohhhh, if I hear!!!

I rep the Iziuoto Family...

Any lady who can spend her money and other things with ease in a relationship, may also have a great prospect as a good wife... She is Miss Independence

I've also taken some time to note that majority of these set of ladies are 26years and above.

So after 5 years of Buhari, Nigeria is still not generating more than 4000 MW of power. So Buhari has not added anything to what he inherited from GEJ. Buhari is the definition of incompetence. Shame on Fashola.

GEJ administration handed the Power Sector to this present government above 5,000MW

We live in a world where malaria have a day, HIV even Democracy all have days... The world didn't go into debate. But when it comes to Jesus Christ birth, everyone will start looking for Bible passages.

The wise men heard of the birth and celebrated Jesus Christ... Let's celebrate Him as chosen

Merry Christmas

Those comparing Ronaldo and Messi, please, also compare them in relation to their respective national team...

Both are great players, but I prefer one that likes new challenge...

Atiku will suffer heavy defeat in the south west
Even Jonathan , after all the Heli dollars
Come to Ibadan,ado,RKO,akure,Abeokuta Oshogbo.. To see
Feb 16...is v close
It shall not be well with PDP in the south west
No single projects.. in all the 16 yres of misrule
Let obj..presents one of his children in Ogun central and see humiliation
Where is senator iyabo obj...lost completely.......

We should stop these tribal sentiment and do our research well. You said PDP never did any project in the south west...

I will mention just three (3) recent infrastructure by the GEJ administration:
1. The Omotosho Gas Power Station in Ondo State
2. The establishment of The Federal University, Oye-Ekiti
3. The Olorunshogo Gas Power Station in Ogun State. Let me stop here...

A friend of mine also spoke greatly against GEJ that he never did any project in Edo State, then I told him one(1), he never believed. But thank God he went there on a field trip. That same friend called me and was amazed... He never knew because he allowed hatred for GEJ to be loud him due to the fact that Edo State is an APC state, therefore, when FG project is going on they don't celebrate them.

You'll not see what the PDP government did for SW because your governors were oppositions, but thank God Fashola who later appreciated the GEJ regime for the massive infrastructural development in the power sector.

I'm not a fan of any political party, but I'm a fan of Nigeria.

Let's be Nigerian first before regions and tribes

God bless Nigeria

and Delta and bayelsa are backward in terms of development

What is your criteria in defining "development?". Apart from Lagos state in South West, name and state more developed than Delta state both in terms of infrastructures and management?

New Concept Mathematics

In 2014, in my final year in the higher institution, I lost one of my best friend (Odo Onyebuchi Cornelius) of about 6-7years. He lived 1986 - 2014. I cried as if the will be my last tears. We both have come a long way, but that couldn't bring him back. Then again, I lost my father in March 2016. He lived 1949 - 2016. Up till now, I am still feeling the absence of a father, it's just by God's grace. And not quite long, I lost a dear friend who we both served Nigeria together as Corps members. He died in 2017. He lived 1988 - 2017.

Why all these analysis? There is always a DASH in every man's life that have died. The dead have no life anymore. Infact, their own DASH has ended with a date but what we have as living beings now is THE DASH BETWEEN.

The life and death of every being lies with God only, but THE LIFE BETWEEN THE DASH depends on us. Every being has A DASH.
A DASH (-) is the span of years from our birth until our death. It's also the choices we make as we live our lives. THE DASH represents the legacy of our time here on earth. It symbolizes all of our achievement, disappointment, and the objectives we met or failed to meet, the relationship we built or lost and the kind of impacts we made on lives and others- whether good or bad. The dash defines the person you are as an individual, what you stand for and the content or quality of your life.

"Your birth and death does not really define your life, but THE DASH does. It is the only thing that matters. Being a good person is not eenough, without Christ, all your efforts and labour here on earth WILL HAVE NO ETERNAL VALUE. Eccl 12:8.
Every life we live in the dash whether good or bad without Christ is vanity. In the journey of life in the dash, we must not forsake Jesus who was crucified for our sake. If I was the only man on earth, Jesus would have still died for me. Ohhhh, what a great love!
From my friends to my father, people said very good things about them; how he helped them and the rest of other things, but these are men's observation, what about God's views and standards. Our sole duty in the dash is to fear God and do His will only. Eccl 12:13.

Act 9:36-40. This was the life Dorcas lived shortly before she was cut-off from earth. But the life she leaved between the dash was so impactful. This made the disciples to seek for a solution. This is Dorcas, what about I and You? What life are we living now that we're still breathing?
It's the type of life we live in the dash that determines our eternity. When Christ calls us home today, what type of life have we lived between the dash? What kind of account or record are we going to give to Christ? Brethren, Heaven and Hell is REAL! 2 Cor 5:10.

THE DASH BETWEEN... "What are we doing with our dash, now we're still alive?" Heb 9:27. Another rare opportunity is here to re-dedicate your life back to Him, to amend your records in THE DASH...

bro, please try to study gal 4 vs 21 and 2 cor 3 vs 7 to 14

What exactly is your point. Since it's Old Testament, does commandment in Exo 20 still valid today?

Get your points and pass!

Any part of the Old Testament Jesus did not physically correct before He died, please be careful. Don't use your hand to correct what Jesus didn't correct. We saw the importance of tithing in the Old Testament and how it affected the people when they stopped paying it at some point.

They said tithing is in the Old Testament, so is the Old Testament an Old word of God. The bible was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It took about 40 Holy Men in a during of about 1,600 years to write and someone will begin to argue it with mere physical emotions or feelings.

My question is; is the Old Testament still valid in this present day or not?

The Apostles travelled from one city to the other, with what money, or who provided the job for them to work, was it Peter who left fishing?

Let's be very careful!
Even the last days "the very elect shall be deceived ". Tithing has workedfor me in diverse ways. You don't wake up and interpret the bible with human knowledge. It's a spiritual enitiy itself.

My advice for everyone here, always ask God concerning controversial issues, He speaks, He will surely speak to you when you have a personal relationship with Him

Whatever you're not cleared about maybe from where you read or some messages you listened to, please ask The Maker!

God help us!

I laugh when I see all these indices which does not translate into reality and development. First, South Africa is not more than 50m in terms of population. They have their system, manufacturing companies working but in Nigeria when import everything even the so called oil

Please, let's move ahead and stop being deceived!

You guys won't believe that I went on a vacation to a village in Benin called Obayantor i(Edo state)

For the two weeks I spent there, no service
Not only on Mtn but on glo as well ....
They told me that it's only airtel that works there...

I was shocked.. Anyway, they are enjoying stable electricity...


Please, network providers..Go to that village and help them..please.

its very disheartening when others are enjoying a basic necessity and you are being left out.

Do something biko

I'm planning to make an investment in Obayantor. it's seriously part of my plans.

How's the airtel network in Obayantor including browsing with it. I know of the power supply. Is the airtel network there very reliable?

That’s just what remains in our assessment!

Hope to get your reply or at least help me with someone else's phone number I can always call as we continue our assessment

Bros....u open eye call Oleh city. The one wen pain me pass na Oghara wen u call city...bros memera ooo....shuo
e b like sat dem dy play kpangolo for ur head ooo

Bros nor Vess, ya mention one criteria to call a place a city or town, look at the following towns listed if they met it, you must also compare it with other states on that list, removing their two major cities if they have up to two other than the state capital. Then you can go ahead to do your own rating. I've a right to my opinion. Though my opinion is based on my travelling to virtually all the state's in that list

Nowenuse:
Sincerely Delta state would have been the most developed. The only problem is lack of modern infrastructures and amenities. If Delta state can be well organized, men, it would be among the highest ranking states in Nigeria.

This is the fact. The state needs to do more

My opinion though. I've lived in most of the state's on that list, though I'm from Delta State.

River State is over-hyped. Apart from Portharcourt, where else is developed? To me, Delta State is the most visibly most developed state in SS. Delta State can boost of more than 5 township stadiums, upto 2 airports and very good road network and great transport system. All the towns or major towns in Delta State can boast of A Stadium and other great infrastructures which a city can have. Development is not population.

Delta State also boost of great cities and towns apart from Warri and Asaba. Delta State comprises of great cities like Sapele, Oghara, Agbor, Ughelli, Igbuzor, Ozoro, Oleh, Escavos, etc. These places are also developed. Development is not a centred system, it's supposed to be evenly. No part of SS has a massively spread development like Delta State. One might not noticed from the highways when travelling because most of the cities and town are inside

To me, Delta State should take the first position based on my exposure to these states. Since last week, I've been in Edo State.

All SS states still needs to do more

Read these verses:

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:11–14)

Many of you have been Christians for years, but still can't tell your left from your right. That is why you feel insecure spiritually. You think you must go to Oyedepo and the others to learn about the basics of the Word over and over again. And truthfully, how many of these pastors even want you to become independent of them? They would rather you remain under them and even serve their children when they die. All we have are mighty churches filled with baby Christians. Christians who will hardly be able to survive the Antichrist when he comes. Instead of building up strong Christians, we are building up mighty cathedrals and turning pastors into gods of men.

Here is another verse:

For when a one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men? 1 (Corinthians 3:4)

Those are the sort of baby Christians you get when you encourage Christians to depend on pastors. You get Christians who live only by the dictates of their Papa and Daddy GO. Christians who are too scared to examine the teachings of their teachers. Christians who elevate their Papa and Daddy GO to the place of God thereby usurping the true and only Pastor (Christ) in their lives.

The plan of God is that we be born of the Spirit, grow and become mature. How can a Christian mature spiritually when his teacher only teaches him how to be financially successful by tithing? Was that the responsibility of the elders in the Early Church? When did elders become motivational speakers when their responsibility was to guide the saints through the Word with the aid of the Holy Spirit, to feed the flock with the Word? How can Christians grow when the teacher is more concerned about building the biggest church auditorium, flying the most expensive jets and building universities up and down? How does preaching about tithes make a Christian grow spiritually?

Finally, like I wrote in my first post to you, no one is indispensable in the Church. We all need to be subject to one another, not to someone who calls himself a pastor.

and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. (Ephesians 5:21)

What exactly is your point, the last time I checked, you have deviated from the topic to emotions. From my reply to your quote, I never mentioned the name of any MOG

A pastor is one who feeds the flocks and taking oversight functions 1 Pet 5:2. Of cause, I'm not saying that there are no person using the name of God to enrich themselves, the scripture and God is aware of that. Why not allow God be the judge, let the pastors carryon with their functions and you do yours

Even if you must educate any, learn to do it in love and not being insultive

May God help us all

Topgainer:
Pastorpreneurs fighting back with all kinds of logic. Who told you that the Jewish Temple = Church, regarding tithe? Which type of Biblical tithe (Abraham spoils of war or the Jewish Agricultural produce) are they to bring to your Church.
Sorry, I had to quote all. It is exactly the rubbish people subscribe to that has made a lot of men robots in the hands of cleverer men, who manipulate and control every inch of breathing space the conquered could have. They control people's homes, work, income (most important), relationships, movements, career choices and ultimately peoples will. Jesus is the only spiritual head a christian should have, He alone inspires, motivates, protects and preserves.

I am yet to understand the sudden surge of miscreants looking for who to call them Papa and Daddy.

The wrongest part of your twisted interpretation of the bible passage is the segregation of 'us and they'. If you understand that the Pastor, Prophet, Teacher, Apostle or Evangelist are categories the totality of us fall into with each complementing the other, you will stop spreading that King (Pastor, Papa-Daddy) and the slaves ( the gullibles that need a Pastor) doctrine. The five fold ministry is given to believers and in a healthy gathering of the believers everyone must fall into a category, without 'Paparing and Daddifying' one brother out of many.
If your notion of needing a Pastor does not accomodate that the Pastor needs you that is a teacher, an evangelist, a prophet or an Apostle to the extent that you share in all good things as much as he is entitled to, then your teachings negates that of Christ. It is then the idolatrous worship of gods of men, the pastor enterpreneurs you talked of and their branch managers.

Even if you fall in one category, may be a Prophet, that means you have the gift of prophecy and not the gift of the word of God. How many prophets really understand the spiritual insight in the word of God, in this case, a prophet then need a teacher who God has specially blessed with the gift of knowledge and wisdom. In same vein, a teacher needs a prophet for direction, warning, etc. Mind you there are directions, warnings, etc in the bible but God gives a prophet an instant message, warning, etc which might not even be in the bible. Here a teacher then needs a prophet.

From all perspective, one needs a pastor

BluntBoy:
First, you are getting a lot of things wrong.

The term Man of God has now become an exclusive appellation for pastors. This is totally wrong. A man or woman of God is one who walks before God and is blameless. This person does not need to be a religious leader within a corporate religious body. All he needs to do is to love God sincerely and how can you love God sincerely? It is by loving the Poor (the least of your brethren). God is Love. You don't need titles to love God.

Also, everyone needs everyone in the Church. We are all priests united by the Eternal priesthood of Christ who is the Chief Priest. Christ is the only one who is indispensable. You don't need the protection of your pastors or someone to represent you on a Man-made altar. All those are traditions of men which ended with the Blood shed on the cross of Calvary.

To better understand the Church, read extensively on the Early Church.

IN the old testament or church, we had leaders or priest such as ELI, SAMUEL, JOSHUA, ELIJAH, etc

The list can go on. No one is perfect, that is true, but it's God that gives perfection by His empowerment

Even after that death of Jesus, the disciples continued to be leaders and priest, mentors, etc We also had Peter, how come in Act 10 God had to send Peter to Cornelius？Even the bible stated that Cornelius was a godly man, he gives alms, pray, gives sacrifice, but needs Jesus, and Peter presence was needed, I can say here that Peter did the work of a Pastor. We had Paul, Timothy, etc

Please note that the 5 fold ministry is not a talent but a GIFT

Fulanis are not killers. The killers are cattle rustlers. Fulanis are peaceful people. I see a lot of them here in sokoto

My brother, i think you are speaking for yourself. My mum own a farm so years back in Ologbo community, Edo State.

Due to d nature of her work she don't visit the farm often, mum decided to visit on a very good day, getting there, d whole farm, all crops eaten by these cows, she even met them in the farm but could do nothing, she have to run for her life cos they were ready to kill her if she challenge them

With the money my mum spent, what a lost！

Why must the herdmen use peoples farm to feed their cattles？Are both not farms？
If you have not being a victim, you can never understand, just less than two months ago, the body of a guy who was killed by these herdsmen went viral online, it was from same community

If they can't find an alternative methods of feeding of their flocks, let them stay in the north, afterall this is business, we buy meat, it's not free so let them invest in this farm and stop becoming a parasite by force

God save our dear nation

There are differences between tithe, offering and gifts. Tithe should be given to men of God. Its their right. You can give the beggar money but not your tithe or offering

Lets always do the right things the right way and not otherwise

All I know is that hell will be more fun than heaven cos things will really be bubbling there

Jokes apart

Most times, I ask myself if God can be so cruel to subject his children to eternal pain by watching them burn in a fiery furnace for their misdeeds.

Sometimes, I even ask myself what is the happiness and joy in making heaven if my wife and children are burning in hell?

As a person, I find it hard to believe that an ever loving God would be very comfortable with such a thing, and I think that the concept of hell and heaven is what becomes a mystery till date

Dear beloved, God does not send anybody to hell, there is a system He has set already, the system works automatically. All d requirement to make heaven is known by everyone, even before rapture or death. For anyone not to make heaven is that person's fault and not God, He cannot lower His standard for anyone

‘’I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live‘’ DEUT 30:19

God is a no respecter of anyone, because He has no right to choose for man, but man has freewill

‘’Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him‘’ ACT 10:34-35 KJV

lagos
-maximum social life and bountiful opportunities

Ogun
-close to lagos.

Osun-constant light in most areas

Well I served in Ogun state precisely Magboro, A town very close to Lagos. Serving close to these areas, that is, the Lagos axis makes Ogun state one you should not think off. The cost of living, transportation is very high. The school both standard and otherwise are so much without any regards for Corpers. IN Lagos and Ogun citizens don't have any regards for corpers. IN OBAFEMI LOCAL AREA, there are just two CDS unit, I spent almost #600 for just tfare to CDS alone

Prospective Corp Members, don't be fooled, ask God His Will！

Please, if you have done your NGO, Church and Club registration, I will indeed appreciate it to educate me on the next line of action

You can also help in sending the procedures to my mail if you have one
udehgoodluck@gmail.com

1. which bank do i payment to？
2. What will be the account name for payment ？

i will be glad to get a reply

Thanks

I will prefer a regional control centre instead of sending d generated energy to Oshogbo. That itself is wastage of energy (Power lost). Atleast d region we benefits what they are generating

Yes its late, your mate's children by then should be 5 years old or even 6.

You don't marry because you want to have children. One can marry 5yrs ago without any child and another marries this month and wife conceives that same month.

Anyways ask God for His perfect will to be done
