abc115:
Waste of resources and lack of financial management. Surprisingly, even renowned airlines and top-tier business leaders opt to lease aircraft rather than making outright purchases. This trend highlights a strategic choice driven by considerations such as cash flow management, flexibility in fleet management, and the ability to allocate capital to other critical areas of business operation.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Israel Sacks Two Military Commanders, Reprimands One After Drone Attack Killed 7 by VULCAN(m): 4:44pm On Apr 05
Note a malfunctioning brain on display.

Some soldiers killed innocent aid workers by mistake.

The Israeli army has sacked them within days.

This translates to 'the Army is on the defensive'.

These are the kind of people that get bottle broken on their head in the beer parlour for making dumb statements.

Meanwhile this malfunctioning brain comes from a country whose airforce has opened fire on two or three separate occasions on innocents yet no one has been sacked.



StOla:
Israel is now the one on the defensive.

All the previous grandstanding by Netanyahu that he will proceed with the Israeli onslaught in the Gaza strip even without US support, is now a back burner matter.

As for the Christians in Gaza.

They are unfortunate victims of guilt by association.

Hamas is the ONLY political party in Gaza.

This Zionist Isreal has nothing to do with Isreal of the bible. This is an extremist far right supremacist and its exposes the hypocrite that some of us christians actually are.

What Hamas did was horrible and a terror act, Isreal has done same for years and even more now in the name of fighting hamas (which every honest person knows is a facade).

Why did I mention the hypocrisy of some of us? Isreal bombed the oldest church in Gaza killing 18 people, use Sniper to Kill 2 christian women but we many of us kept quite, because we are afraid that if we condemn Isreal God will curse us? (Except once again this is not the Isreal in the bible. That Isreal is a people and not a country, It is Jacob and his descendants, and not an extension of extremist who have hijacked the christian and Jewish faith to pursue their imperialism).

The same Isreal that spits at christians, restrict Christians during Palm Sunday and still hate Jesus Christ to the very core.

We sit and condemn Islamic extremist for taking extreme concept of Jihad from the Quran to commit terror, but close our eyes to when Isreal use "Gods choosen people, and the land was given to them, or quote Amalek to pursue a genocide and ethinically cleans people".

This is not christianity and Netanyahu and his far right extremist, IDF and Hamas deserve the hottest place in hell for all the attrocities they have committed on innocent people.

In the meantime, mods, please let's take this to the frontpage as part of Nairaland's contribution to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I have also stated that human capital export is possibly one of the Industries that our government need to tap into.

With over 200m population, our universities need to increase the number of people admitted to study medicine.

A country like the UK does not even have enough young ones who are willing to study medicine, and they'll throw anything at such a gesture, yet Nigerian universities keep discouraging our younger ones.

Apart from the local demand for medical practitioners, the international demand is heavier. I believe the universities' quota systems should be expanded.

Let me ask a question that I know the answer.

Did you watch the video?

We know you didn't.

So what is the basis of this long epistle.

immortalcrown:
Only incest is biblically acceptable for a divorce. But many people claim that the Bible permits divorce if adultery happens. Some people claim that the Bible supports divorce if any form of unfaithfulness occurs in the marriage.

If incest is not the biblical ground for a divorce, why did the disciples of Jesus Christ say what they said in Mathew 19:10? Read the chapter and pay attention to the verse 10. Then, tell me why the disciples made the statement.

The problem here is hypocrisy. People want to be here and there. People want to eat their cake and have it.

If you want to divorce your spouse when he or she offends you, avoid church wedding. Do your traditional marriage or any other form of marriage. The issue is that people want church wedding but don't want the cross that comes with church wedding. Church wedding vow says, "... until death do us part". Nobody is forcing you to choose the bible type of marriage. But if you willingly choose it and fail to maintain it, you are deceiving yourself.

Choose a tradition you can maintain. Don't deceive yourself with church wedding when you are not willing to abide by its principles.

Many people are quoting me. Before you argue with me, read the article below. 👇🏽

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/YsuRQDEXyRcf4Xv9/?mibextid=oFDknk

Is Divorce a Sin?

I think the right question should be, did Jesus Permit divorce? Did God permit divorce? In other words, are you even allowed to divorce before you start talking about whether it is a sin or not?

The straight answer is that Jesus never permitted divorce. Once marriage is validly contracted, even adultery as some of you wrongly allege is not a ground for divorce.

I know this whole misunderstanding is coming from Jesus' statement in Matthew 19:9. I will clarify it. But before then, I am not writing this to give people a license to cheat on their spouses. As a matter of fact, you owe your spouse fidelity and faithfulness. It is their right. You are not doing them a favor by being faithful.

Back to Matthew 19:9 where it seemed Jesus gave an exception for divorce:

"Whoever divorces his wife except for unchastity and marries another commits adultery."

The exceptive clause, "EXCEPT FOR UNCHASTITY" is the major issue here. Simply put, unchastity is a good reason to divorce one's spouse.

You may want to ask, what constitutes 'unchastity?' We shall get to know soon.

We all remember that the New Testament was originally written in Greek bah?

The Greek word for unchastity is "PORNEIA." The Protestants argue that this Greek word "porneia" means adultery. This is why if you read the Protestant New International Version of the Bible, Matthew 19:9 is translated thus:

"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, EXCEPT FOR MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS, and marries another woman commits adultery."

For most Protestants, though marriage is meant to last a lifetime, but adultery justifies divorce and remarriage. This is because they interpreted the Greek word "porneia" or "unchastity" as adultery.

This is not true. And this is not Catholic teaching.

Catholic biblical scholars believe that it is wrong to translate the Greek word "porneia" as adultery. In the Catholic New American Bible, Matthew 19:9 is translated thus:

"I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery."

Here, the exceptive clause is: "UNLAWFUL MARRIAGE."

If you read the King James Version of the Bible, the translation for PORNEIA is even more interesting. It translates Matthew 19:9 thus:

"And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another committeth adultery."

Here, the exceptive clause is Fornication. And fornication is the sin of two unmarried people having sexual intercourse. If either person is married or both are married to other people, the sin is called adultery. Following this translation, the only way that a couple could commit fornication is if they were never really in a Christian marriage to begin with.

Many recent translations of porneia in Matt 19:9 used "sexual immoralities." That still begs the question of what sexual immoralities could mean.

In all these, what really is the correct translation for the word PORNEIA? Is it the Protestants' "adultery", the King James' "fornication", or the Catholics' "Unlawful marriage"? Even if porneia is to be seen as unchastity or sexual immoralities, what constitutes unchastity?

The answer to the above questions can be better clarified using the bible. I will give you two examples: Matthew 15:19 and Mark 7:21-22.

Matthew 15:19 "For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, ADULTERY, UNCHASTITY, theft, false witness, blasphemy."

Mark 7:21-22, "From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, UNCHASTITY, theft, murder, ADULTERY, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly."

Pay attention to this: Adultery and unchastity are both prohibited in the texts above. If you read the Greek text, it is "porneia" that is translated as unchastity, in some bible it is translated as sexual immorality. While the Greek word "moicheia" is translated as adultery. Therefore, from these passages, we can see that porneia does not mean adultery as that would be an unnecessary repetition.

The word for adultery in Greek is 'moicheia.' If the author of Matthew 19:9 felt that Christ was talking about adultery, he wouldn't have used 'porneia' which means unchastity.

This is Matthew 19:9 in its original Greek

λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐπὶ ΠΟΡΝΕΊΑΙ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, ΜΟΙΧΑ͂ΤΑΙ.

I have put into capital letters two words:
πορνείᾳ (porneia) and μοιχᾶται (moichatai — verb form)

If the Bible intended that adultery is a ground for divorce, the two words would have been moicheia. And it will read thus: "I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for ADULTERY, and marries another woman commits ADULTERY."

But fortunately or unfortunately, that is not how it was written in the Bible.

If you read Act 15:28-29, the Apostles addressed the Gentiles prohibiting four things:

"For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain (1) from what has been sacrificed to idols, and (2) from blood and (3) from what is strangled and (4) from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." RSV (inserted numbers, mine)

Take note of the number (4), still talking about Porneia or Unchastity. These four prohibitions above came from a deep-rooted Jewish tradition found in Leviticus 17 and 18.

If you read Leviticus through, you will discover that in chapter 18, what the Jews mean by unchastity or Porneia was explicitly explained. It was simply an incestuous marriage. Having sexual intercourse with a close relative was greatly forbidden, not to talk of marriage. For the Jews, marriage of this nature is unlawful. This was what Christ was referring to in Matthew 19:9. It is a reference to an unlawful and thus invalid marriage. It is not a reference, as Protestants view it, to a specific act committed during a legitimate "life-long marriage.

Jesus' teaching on divorce was revolutionary. Remember that it was to answer the Jews who thought that one could divorce his wife for some reasons that made Jesus to give the answer he gave. If Jesus permitted divorce, what then makes his teaching different from the one Moses taught the Jews in the OT?

If Christ's teaching on divorce was that simple, how can one explain the surprise that surrounded the disciples when they responded in the next verse?

Matthew 19: 10, "(His) disciples said to him, 'If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.'"

Then he the chief installer stole power and took the exchange rate from N700- N1800.

Now they have used violence to bring it down to N1400 and the zomB followers are having orgasms.

Hahahaha

LandMann:
A thread of propaganda and for propaganda agents to mastubate on. See them up there praising an incompetent president and government that has caused so much hardship for Nigerians.

Dpharisee:

Most of them who are quick to comment here can't afford data to watch videos to fully understand the crux of the matter before talking trash.
They buy mini plans of N50 for 40mb and use to troll all around the forum, any attempt to click on a video will quickly drain their data balance and they are logged out, so he assumes things based on the headline and starts talking off-point

Govt apologist and Buhari supporter in action.

A man who spent N600m on a logo is being praised by his evil supporters.

A man who attempted to deceive Nigerians that he was creating a National Airline and just did a shoddy wet lease after how many years?

Shame on those who support thieves and robbers just because they are in their party.

You will NEVER make the impact that Onyeama has in this life.



Afrojuju2017:


Air Peace is only taking advantage of the actions of FG and the aviation ministers. Adi Sirika may have soiled his reputation with that Nigeria Air deal at the tail end of his term in office but he has been our best aviation minister in over 2 decades.
He really sanitised the ministry it's operations. There has been a lot of improvement to airport operations across the country he also got partner countries to open slots for Nigerian airlines.

This London route Air Peace is flying is the consequence of the BA fallout with FG where FG threatened to bar them from flying to Nigeria if a Nigerian airline can't service that route.

Allen hasn't done anything special and he can afford to be doing Santa Claus because of the nature of the funding of the airline, you can thank GEJ for using Nigeria money to float the airline.
