Go and read how God responded to David in 2 sam 7:1-29 for just thinking of building him a temple. I wonder wen building God a church suddenly became an earthly show of wealth.
And let me return ur question
Are u a Christian?
Do u worship under the sun on sundays?

Sir... let me educate you.

The promises of God to David... was nothing compared to your “secured”. Probably you should go down the line of generations of David and see how many of them experienced any “secured” grace as you have used it.

Gods promise of establishing David and his generation was referring to our Lord Jesus Christ... who is to come in his (David’s) lineage... and Who is meant to be a King forever.

Sir.... building 1 thousand temple... and just fall short of one of the commandments of God - perhaps just unbelieving or fear - THE PERSON IS GOING TO THE LAKE OF FIRE, not even Hell fire (Rev 21:.


You guys should understand the difference between prosperity and entering kingdom of God. They are both mutually exclusive. It’s a kingdom principle that if you sow u reap. You don’t need to be a believer to enjoy that. But the kingdom of God - my brother - buying temple doesn’t secure it sir!

zionmde:
wow
This is so amazing
That member will never ever run dry in his life again.
He has secured his life, the life of his kids, the lives of his grandchildren because he built a house for a God that remembers the good works of a servant and blesses even up to his 10th generations.
Many will say he is foolish, but can a man who made so much money be that foolish as not to know the right place to invest his money?

Let me see wat those our tithe our offering bla bla bla haters will have to say

Are you a Christian sir?

How does building a temple/church secure his life and generation?

Perhaps you should mention earthly prosperity and heavenly if he is lucky to make heaven. People just think God is interested in all these show of wealth. Eniyan wo oju, Olorun nwo Okan.

Nigerian Facebook user identified as Okuoba Akomeah who is a carpenter and makes chairs, beds and tables to earn a living just posted the photos of the Electronic bed he made that has television and can charge phones and laptops.

He posted the the Photos and the Caption below;
"2017 Sofa king size electronic bed powerful song system, 32 inches digital satellite television, charging system for 2 phones and laptop, including mattress 8,200gh (N661,635.60)"

This is really impressive

http://www.torimill.com/2017/11/see-electronic-bed-nigerian-carpenter.html

If this was done in the UK or other developed countries, no one would criticise. Just because it’s made by a Nigerian now... y’all are discrediting the creativity due to your own insecurity. Why don’t you all stop buying cars because it is prone to accident.

Very lame non sequitur

Esepayan:
nigerians be deceiving about being religious.
fake country
fake people
all liars
what a country really disgraceful just going through comments

True talk Bro!

givan:
Bro, I advice u stay off a thread if you don't know how best!

Coffee is a 'thing' in Nigeria! Coffee is a 'thing' in western Africa!

I suppose everyone is entitled to his opinion, even a stupid one!

You have NO right to ask another human being to stay off a social media post simply because you disagree with his opinion.

That’s how you people start. Later you will be blaming Buhari.

Don’t really know how this is news? Coffee is not really a Nigerian thing... not a Nigerian company.. this product is not exported from Nigeria...

No significance whatsoever to the Nigerian economy. So why FP?

This lady is pretty though. And she's got a good diction too. She is not a typical Nigerian lady!

Question is... will the wife still love and stay with him? A true test of love here.

The internet has created a lot of fake love. You see guys and ladies gushing abt their relationships with pictures, gifts and all what-nots. Unbeknownst that they are all facades!

And some people reading their posts online are jealous over nothing!

Gradually, the world is saying bye bye to diesel powered vehicles. And here Nigerians are celebrating the President for Signing FUPRE Bill to establish a University of petroleum.

Very pathetic! When we should be concentrating on renewable energy. Would have been lovely if they established a research institute for clean energy; with all our solar and wind.

One day we will wake up to the reality of this backward looking policies.

May we, family and friends, not die untimely. May we live to reap the fruits of our Labour. By God's grace. Amen!

May God forgive his sins and grant him eternal peace!

internationalman:
I swear I have not even watch a movie advert with this guy in it let alone a movie of his...

Thus guy is more popular on nairaland than he is in his occupation, acting.

Perhaps you have been watching 'international' channels!

Odunlade is a worthy role model. Not many Yoruba actors attain his present heights. I do wish him well in his endeavours. Long life and prosperity to himself and everyone who 'represents' and makes Nigeria proud!

QueenOfNepal:
A religion that sees women as cannon fodder. I'm not in the least surprised l but i pity those dunce female suicide bombers because the quran did not make provision for how many male virgins they will inherit in Paradise

Well said bro. In the Middle East and other Arab countries, they protect their women like egg. Quite an irony that Boko Haram uses theirs for terrorist activities.

Plus i have never always believed that religion is the way out of life miseries. Interestingly Nigerian Christians and Muslims seems to think so: hence, the idolatry worship and gifts to 'men of God'. Religion is now seen as the best bet out of the woods of poverty and penury.

Interestingly, true worshippers must worship God in truth and in spirit; not for what they desire to gain from it.

Pray God open our eyes.

Why Boko Haram uses female suicide-bombers

They used to arouse less suspicion, though that may be changing


The Economist explains
Oct 23rd 2017by R.S. | LAGOS




BOKO HARAM has used more female suicide-bombers than any other terrorist group in history. Of the 434 bombers the group deployed between April 2011 and June 2017, 244 have been definitely identified as female. More may have been. The Tamil Tigers, the previous holders of the gruesome record, used 44 over a decade, according to a study by Jason Warner and Hilary Matfess for the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, an American military college. Boko Haram, whose insurgency has killed more than 30,000 in north-east Nigeria and neighbouring countries since 2011 and displaced 2.1m, is also the first group to use a majority of female bombers.

Nigeria’s government likes to say that Boko Haram has been “technically defeated”. It split into two factions last year, after Islamic State (IS) declared a preference for a more moderate leader, Abu Musab al-Barnawi, over Abubakar Shekau. The latter’s tactics include using suicide-bombers to blow up mosques and markets, inevitably killing fellow Muslims. (Some analysts dispute the idea of factions, arguing that Boko Haram has always been made up of different cells.) The group is far from vanquished, even though it has been forced out of towns since Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator, reclaimed the presidency in 2015. In July the branch affiliated to IS killed 69 members of an oil-exploration team. Indeed the group’s suicide-bombings have been especially lethal this year, after a relative lull in 2016. During a period of just over seven weeks from June 1st they killed at least 170 people, according to Reuters, a news agency. The jihadists are sending more children to their death too: the UN has counted 83 used as human bombs this year, four times the total for 2016. Two-thirds of them were girls.

The suicide-bombers sent by Boko Haram are, however, less lethal than those used by other groups, say Mr Warner and Ms Matfess. This is partly because around a fifth detonate their explosives when confronted by soldiers, killing only themselves. Yet still the group sends attackers to Maiduguri, the city where the insurgency began, to target the university, markets and camps for the displaced. It is no coincidence that its use of female bombers rose sharply after the kidnapping of the 276 “Chibok Girls” from their school in April 2014. Boko Haram realised the propaganda value of women: the use of supposed innocents as lethal weapons has a powerful shock factor. They arouse less suspicion (at least they did when the tactic was first deployed, if no longer) and can more easily hide bombs underneath voluminous hijab. And by sending women to blow themselves up, Boko Haram also saves its male fighters for more conventional guerrilla-style attacks.

Some of the women may by willing, if brainwashed, jihadists. Many, though, are believed to be coerced into strapping on bombs. One did so with a baby on her back. Some may see it as a way out of an abusive life as one of Boko Haram’s “wives”, plenty of whom are raped by their “husbands”. Those who give themselves up before detonating their bombs often face a lifetime of stigma, as families and communities prove unwilling to take them back. So whether the women kill anyone or not, Boko Haram sows fear and division, exactly as it intends.

Even if the federal government devolves more power to the states... same problems will recur. Just more money to some fortunate politicians.

Devolve more power to Local Governments. The more closer the government is to the people, the more we can burn their family houses when they don't perform well - cos those LG Chairman and councillors dem are guys we grew up with together (pun intended).

Plus... regional government please... I would prefer each region grows in its own pace. Better competition... breathing space from Northerners too. Thank you!

I don't know the veracity of this news. Oxford would not compromise their standard. They don't even take a 2:1 for masters degree. Perhaps I am wrong.

The heart of a man is desperately wicked. Losing your conscience is one of the worst things that can happen to a man. Pray God creates in us the penchant to will and do of His good pleasures.


BTWN: someone should please change that topic. You can't use Was and Been together. Perhaps she was raped and kept in the freezer sounds better.

Ramon92:
Sometime last year, the govt of Sweden announced plans to drastically cut its dependence on fossil fuels by 2020. This plan also includes having Stockholm 100% powered by renewable resources by d year 2050.

The United Kingdom will ban petrol and diesel cars by 2040.

China plans to ban the production of petrol cars in the near future

From the year 2030, petrol and diesel cars will be illegal in France; also in Scotland by 2032.

The US has long abandoned crude oil

Even Buhari's masters, the Saudis with their vast reserves are already having second thoughts about their oil and currently on the verge of building massive solar panels to generate electricity...

In Nigeria however, some people are committed to using our limited resources to find oil in the north when even the ones in the south are getting valueless as the year goes by.. Now it's a fücking university of oil and some are celebrating it as an achievement... Mtcheww

We never start... By the way....

I am really surprised your comment was only able to amass 18 likes. You know why? Cos Nigerians don't know yet that Petroleum and their esteemed crude oil will become useless soon.

We should be crying for this country with this nonsense bill. What this government need to do is to establish a renewable energy research institute and give it a crazily bogus funding. We have a lot of untapped renewable energy that we can even export if we invest on it appropriately. I pity the future of this country with our egg head leaders.

anitapreeti:
The comments on Facebook tho

I'm indifferent about this

U and me both...

What was Buhari thinking when he promised to make 1# equal to 1$. In short, why should we take him and his cabinet serious on anything? But some Nigerians will still vote for him if he decides to run for 2019. I hope for heaven sake APC presents a technocrat and not an old soldier

QueenSekxy:
yeap..mechanical

Weldone miss! God bless your handiwork

Sanchez01:
This is a very foolish attempt at proving nothing. The whites could be superior to you and your household, it does not to some of us. The moment you realise that skin colour does not determine superiority, the better it would be for you see life from the perspective dogged Africans see.

I would have expected you to say they observe laws to the letter than we do but superior? I honestly don't know how you got into the UK but I'd suggest you start working on your self esteem.

Take a moment to study the rednecks.

God bless u sir!

hilroy:
Have you heard of hillbillies, rednecks and savagery white people? I'm sure you haven't. Categorically, the retar.ded idiots blowing themselves up in the name of religion are Caucasians just like their fellow Neanderthals in Europe. Let the white race get subjected to one tenth of what black race has been subjected to and see how uncultured and savagery they will be. It is funny when someone like you makes very unintelligent comment just to say absolute garbage. The number one problem with black race is that vast majority of us are suffering from mental slavery and I can smell it all over your unless post.

God bless u sir!

internationalman:
If this is true, it's high time we make pidgin English our official language.

Really? That may not be good o bros. our literacy level will be affected; cos then students in primary and secondary school will be free to communicate in it even during classes. We wey we never hear English before ��

MrEdimulo82:
U know comments like ds will not attracts likes and shares, because we are who we are....bless u bro

Thanks bro... I wish for Heaven sake, that we can at least push this government. I intended writing on Punch newspaper on Same... buh quite a number of of persons have done that already; and quite interestingly they were adults. Dunno what is wrong with our generation. Too much social media; and we are not using it effectively. We need a revolution! No one can live abroad forever� Even the Kanu Nwankwo and Jay Jay's of this world came back home.

It is indeed a strange world!... may God have mercy on all of us

Neymar1095:
The earlier we realise the whites are superior to the blacks the better because racism will never stop.

They are superior to us. I do agree with you. Africa is innately raw. You see a decent queue here in the Uk... a Nigerian man can arrive and would be impatient to wait like others. One day we were to queue to board a plane at Casablanca and we were connecting to Nigeria from the Uk. The whites amongst us were cool calm and collected waiting for their turn. Before we knew it, some women just came and went straight to the front and like a flash, everyone left their position and started rushing to board in.

I was really embarrassed that day and they were shouting at the flight attendants passing us in. I just hope one day we can teach our children patience and a modest lifestyle. Dino will be here flaunting cars, while May is there trying not to disappoint her citizens in the EU negotiations.

We need a reorientation... and I pray God just helps us

Is this guy really an elected Senator? Nigerian youths... we really need to use Social Media to influence a restructuring of this government. Either by tweets #Restructure this country to a Unitary system.

These are the advantages

1. We would have 4 major regions. With each region having its own self governing body and parliament.

2. A return of power, huge allocations, and responsibilities of generating revenue cum completing capital projects to the Local governments that were hitherto classified as nonsense 'federal and state roads'

3. We would have a weak central government and one parliamentary body, just in case we are so keen on retaining the Nigerian identity; and they would devolve most of their powers to the regional government save, perhaps, Military and foreign policy.

4. Each region will create its own revenue, system of education if they want, build its roads, innovate, generate its own powers, make its laws within the confinement of its devolved power; and essentially, foster Compeition cum reduce the agitations for Biafra and other seceding parts.

5. There will be a clause that a region will have the right to secede through a referendum after some years if they will; No one should be made to hold a national identity against their will

6 Last, but not the least, make guys like this Dino guy less powerful, and if he is fortunate to hold a position in his region, more accountable to his people. May be when he is driving on the street one day in his exotic car they will wake up from their slumbers.

P.S: we need to do something. It's our generation that's gonna be affected. France just banned gas powered cars from 2030. We really need to define our future ourselves... not guys like these who has no plan for us.

"Though the colored man is no longer subject to be bought and sold, he is still surrounded by an adverse sentiment which fetters all his movements..." . Federick Doughlas, 1883

This is a very interesting quote. I don't think Racism is something we can do away with, but I suppose it's more mental now than physical.

The model in the controversial "racist" advert for Dove says it was actually meant to represent diversity.

Lola Ogunyemi has defended the Facebook ad which caused an internet backlash after it appeared to show her turning white after using the body wash.
She told Newsbeat she was excited to be part of the campaign as it was "supposed to be about all skin types deserving gentleness".
She says the ad was taken out of context but gets why people were upset.

The ad posted on Facebook showed Lola pulling her t-shirt off to reveal a white woman underneath, followed by her doing the same to reveal an Asian woman.

It was part of a longer ad which featured five women of different ethnicities.

Lola says she was excited to be the "black face in the campaign".
"I wanted to get involved because as a black woman, my race and colour in beauty and media tends not to be represented.

"Sometimes, if my skin tone is represented, it usually about skin lightening products so I was excited to be the black face in this campaign.

"I knew the concept and understood what they were trying to do creatively. I wasn't aware of the order of which we would appear, but we were all excited about it," says Lola.

A screenshot of the ad went viral which featured Lola and the white model.
Several people took to twitter to criticise the beauty brand.

"The social ad wasn't a fair representation of the full thing," Lola says.

But she admits Dove has previously faced backlash about the way they've dealt with race in its ads.
"While I think Dove has been celebrated and congratulated about campaigns in the past, they've also faced significant backlash about the way they've handled race."

Lola, who was born in London and raised in Atlanta in the US, says she was overwhelmed by all the comments online about the ad.

"To wake up one morning to all of these messages, was unbelievable. I think the main issue is the outrage being sparked by screenshots that were posted.

"It wasn't even the full ad that people had issue with. Because of this, a different narrative has been presented.

"Once Dove pulled the ad, it left no room for the public to get the full story."
Lola adds: "I'm not necessarily defending Dove wholeheartedly but I would say Dove had good intentions.

"Given the backlash they've faced in the past, you can see why people are upset. The fact that this could have happened should have been discussed."
