Chinedu1994:
He didn't keep our agreement at first, why should I keep mine?

You now agree with us all that you are no better than the scammer?

You have got to learn to let go. Pains like that make us wiser and stronger. Continuing to harbour past pains and hurts can be quote energy sapping. You need to accumulate positive energy instead of dwelling on the negative.

Kriss216:
You're not a new born. You've been in this world, you've been contaminated in one way or the other, stop this your holy holy gimmicks, please.

I never claimed to be holy, we all have our faults. But I am definitely not a criminal, and I have never committed any crime. So you and your God labelling me a criminal is insulting apart from libelous.

Chinedu1994:
The day he scammed me, I called him and cried like a kid. But he blocked me.

Then you should have told him your pains and either refused his offer or renegotiate. But one you two reach an agreement, morals demand that you follow through.

He might also have suffered greatly and still suffering as a result of the post.

My only grouse with you is that you should not have collected the N10k if you still want to continue punishing him for causing you pain.

Kriss216:
You might be worse than Anini in the eyes of God, don't be too sure. The ways of God are different.

Shalom.

May I never follow such a God that see me as a scammer, murderer or criminal without commiting any crime.

It's like labelling a cute and innocent new born a criminal before he even develops a mind of his own.

musicproducer:
he should take it down why? wat of he tries to scam some one else.

people chk online for people details for dey do business.

Then he should have told him off and not collect the N10k. Collecting the N10k and then reneging on the agreement also makes the OP a scammer.

Kriss216:
We are all criminals in the eyes of God.



He apologized already and you've got your money back, why not keep to your promise. His dubious character shouldn't deter who you are. A gentleman always keep to his promise.

I disagree. We are not all criminals in the eyes of God. I am definitely not a criminal in the eyes of any God. I won't say I am pure, but a criminal? Capital No!

The OP should delete the post as agreed. Nigerians need to value the importance of agreements, if you made an agreement and the other party fulfilled their own part, you should also fulfil your own part of the agreement. This is the reason why not one wants to do business with Nigerians. We don't know how to keep to agreements.

Ibime:
This is routine. Trumps DOJ also asked 46 Obama appointed AGs to resign. That country's legal system is baffling and too politicised. A legal system where judges and AGs are appointed by Presidents is bastardised. They were lucky that Trump was not able to get all the AGs and Judges to subvert the election, but one day an autocrat will.

It's a bleeped up system. How can Judiciary be so politicised and they expect real justice? In the US you have judges that openly identify as democrats and republicans, so they put party loyalty above country. This is a disaster waiting to happen. America has all the ingredients for dictatorship and authoritarianism. Imagine you can not indict a siting president and you can not indict a president after leaving office for crimes while in office. So in effect an American presidents can never be indicted save for perjury.

They are just lucky that Trump was not smart and evil enough. One day a Hitler like person would take over as President, and America is bleeped.

TalkTalkTwins:
I'm yet to understand why and how someone will get sacked from her place of work for getting pregnant

What if she doesn't want to get married?
What's her employers business with who got her pregnant?

Nigeria is still backward,.no caps

What if the man that got her pregnant is also a police officer, should they both not be sacked? Then, what of police men that gets ladies pregnant without marrying them, they should sacked also.

Sagay212:
Wetin saw dey do for there? Hope they have not arrested one innocent carpenter.
Too many touts in Lagos. They really must flush them out.

Brand new saw that still has carton in its handle and brand new cutlasses that's shining like aluminium. It looks more like they arrested innocent building tools seller.

Police would never go to the scene of a violent crime, they would wait until the hoodlums have gone and then come and arrest passersby and traders close to the scene. That's the modus operandi of the Nigerian police.

Vardanes2:
1.I don't support government, so don't go there with me. I have never voted for either APC or PDP since I first voted in 2003.

2.Ultimately, if you are still with me, we are not a manufactruing country, and we also practice price controls on areas that we should not be. Hat's why we lack dollars, and why CBN has to resprt to drastic measures to control dollar outflows....

So how long do you think the drastic measures to control the dollar flow will last, when everything we consume is denominated in dollars? You think price control simply by restricting supply of dollars will work in the long run?

Speaktruth88:
Is it today? As long as your brothers pack their bags and go back to their villages where is the problem? Northerners are not the ones that don’t like staying in their states.

Every single state in this country has a culture and things they don’t accept, if you don’t agree with that culture carry your bag and move you’re not a tree .

Let's apply that principle to all.

Many states don't want cows roaming around their forests and streets, so why has Fulani herdsmen not carried their bags and leave? Why are they fighting to stay by force?

Many states don't want the wearing of hijab - especially in their schools. Why do Muslims not simply pack their bags and go back to their states?

Esseite:
Good point, now how do we do that, when a large volume of liquidity is plunged into crypto currencies and stagnated by people waiting for it to rise rather than real investments.. how then do we run the economy?

Really investments where? Real investments in a country deliberately stifling business with multiple taxation, infrastructural strangulation and insecurity? Real investments when Herdsmen are killing farmers and destroying their farms, when even businesses on ground are folding up and running away?

Real investments when I have heen trying to register a limited liability company for over 1 month now. I have paid all fees and up till now nothing from CAC. I went to their office and only the security man who told me to call the head office. A phone line that is perpetually switched off.

If you have 100 million naira, would you rather not invest it in crypto currency or some other instruments like stocks, gold, etc that gambling it in investing in the Nigerian economy?

The government needs an economic team to chart an economic plan that would see Nigeria out of the current economic doldrums.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Just take a Look at what u typed! All these sound excellent indeed in a serious, genuine, fiscal responsibly governed country that is ready to move forward! The prime example being China.

How can you compare Nigeria with China? China has a huge trade surplus with the world, it's currency is even undervalued to take advantage of that trade deficit. Nigeria on the other hand does not trade anything of significance outside oil and our exchange rate has to depend on the vagaries of oil price. China also took control of its digital products. Most digital products consumed by Chinese are Chinese owned. They ban Facebook, Twitter and most foreign products and have Chinese clones.

But in naija just forget, have u forgotten that the number one citizen went for medical attention in London for months! Why did they not patronise naija. Have u yourself seen American politicians coming here, Nigeria to acquire mansions, castles, skyscraper, hotels, business property with looted public funds? Instead these leaders u are trying to defend does exactly that in America and Europe.

I am not defending anyone and your examples above are irrelevant to the topic. What i am simply stating is the simple economic fact as long as we - I mean individuals and governments turn ourselves to consumers instead of producers, we will continue to go round in circles.

Mrpojj:
What does it take to start exporting?
Can't we in prove on our export capabilities?

Because our current mind set is consume, consume and consume. From individual levels to governmental levels. Even in terms of digital products we consume foreign products instead of producing. How many people in Nigeria are involved in making digital products?

Is Cryptocurrency the Future of Money?

Esseite:
Crypto currency is a death nail on import dominated countries. there is no balance of trade or how that can be regulated. Do you think the loans gotten from china is not a means of balancing trade due to our large imports?..

how do you balance the escape of forex through cryptos for an import dominated country especially for non physical services/goods?

- It undermines monetary policies of various Government..
- There are no checks and balances.
- Any dick and harry can prop up a coin.
- it discourages foreign investors from investing physically in developing nations.

Best initiative from CBN on saving the naira.

CBN is only chopping of leaves in trying to kill the tree. Crypto currency is the future of transactions. The digital economy can never be run by physical money.

If Mark Zuckerberg is allowed to start his own crypto currency, that will be the beginning of the end for paper money.

You balance your exchange of forex (through cryptos or real money) by balancing your balance of trade. Importing everything and exporting nothing is not a sustainable economic model. Nigeria must start start producing instead of always consuming. Government at all levels must start an "autarky" policy. Self sufficiency must the most important policy of government.

Appleyard:
Oil and gas is being phased out? Any body that tells you that is misleadingly prioritizing assumptions for reality. Yes, wind and solar are innovative energy solutions but are more like to mitigate the monopolistic effect of oil and gas and its chokehold in the energy sector; nothing more. They don't even come close to phasing out oil not to mention gas. It's laughable when people say that. If solar and wind energy are revolutionary like some wants you to believe, the United States won't have its military assets nudged at the asss of every major oil producing nation in the world. THINK.

Sorry, no other source of energy can replace the global impact of oil and gas in the world's industrial complex - - at least, not in this world.

Even though I an an alternative energy afficionado, I tend to agree with you. Fossil fuel is going no where soon. Although solar and other energy sources will increase over time. I believe you should not abandon one for the other. Trump's main flaw was abandoning alternative energy sources and allowing China take over dominance in the sector. Biden will also make a mistake if he abandones or disinvests in fossil fuel.

The most important use of fossil fuel is war. You cannot fight and win a war without fossil fuel. Modern Warfare is a very energy consuming enterprise and only petroleum can meet its demand. Germany lost WW2 principally because it ran out of fuel and had no fuel to run its war machines.

Don't quote me next time.

I don't trade words with mentally imbalanced persons.

Eya... see mentally balanced person. Only a person who is not balanced worships a mere mortal like himself.

400billionman:
Envy and greed don enter this thing.

You said he took your wife, now we are hearing that your marriage has been dissolved since .

How come you want to Cashout N2bn from Suleiman ?

Another idolator. Who told you the marriage has been desolved since ? Was it the husband or the wife?

This is what pastor suleiman's lawyer said in his court filings;

It has come to our knowledge that one Mike David has purportedly filed a law suit against our client, Apostle Johnson Suleman and seeking two billion naira as damages for allege interference in his marriage which has since been dissolved a few years ago .

Jman24:
You see why Africa is still where it is today. A fellow pastor is crying (whether it's fake or not) and it didn't touch the hearts of so called congregants at least to tell their pastor to clear the air. Rather they cheered on until it got to this point.

I keep saying it. Assuming christianity for instance is the authentic religion, the blacks don't even understand or practice up to 10% of it's contents correctly.

The other day.. I told a friend I can't visit a lonely married woman in her home. And this religious dude laughed at me and said.. I'm not born in spirit that we should get to a level we live above the law.
I wanted to argue, but didn't have the energy .. so I dropped a line for him;

"see you see adultery"....


#Oh my Africa

Blacks don't practice Christianity, they practice anthropolatry - the worship of man. No matter what their "god" is accused of, they immediately jump to defend him, without even looking at the allegations. Here is a pastor that has been accused of rape/sexual molestation in not one situation, not two situations but three different situations, but idolators will quickly jump to defend him with their lives every time.

Even the their god's testimony does not make sense. The aggrieved pastor had been blackmailing pastor suleiman for over 6 years, but was sacked just over 2 years ago. The idolators can't even dare to ask what the blackmail about. Was it the blackmail that led to his sacking. Why sack the husband and promote the wife? I thought the church was meant to promote marriage. Was the church aware of the marriage problems of two of its pastors? If they were, what counselling did the church give them? Or Omega ministries don't do marriage counselling for its members.

Anyway, a man down already fears no fall. Pastor David would fight to his last breadth for his children. No government or pastor can separate a man from his children.

compton11:
Christians get law?

Na because christians no get law make Muslims states in the north in a constant state of anarchy.

Because christians no get law na him make even in the south, na Muslims de cause problems.

Na because na Muslims get law na him make Muslims majority countries of the world always in a State of perpetual anarchy, while the Christian nations are the most prosperous.

Na because christians no get law na him make Muslims no to stay in their own state or countries but always migrating to Christian nations and states.

I now see why Trump wants to ban Muslims from America, so dem go dey enjoy their law. I wish western Europe does the same too.

IamWonderful:
Which personal doctrine are you talking about, what does it benefits me if you drink wine or whatever you drink or all the verse I quoted was from my Bible? what are you trying to say because you are talking as if I am gaining anything from what you do or you don't do.

And I gain nothing whether you drunk wine or not, but allow me to drink my kai-kai in peace.
It must be from your bible that differentiate fermented from unfermented wine. No such differentiation in the standard bible.

onuman:
The same speed that the 12 northern sharia states governments used to adopt sharia criminal laws must be the same speed for the non-sharia states to use to adopt laws banning open grazing of cows in their states.

Our governors are cowards, what's stops them forming a cow police and slaughtering any cow in sight the way Hisbah police is destroying any beer bottle in sight?

jswitch:
The Nigerian constitution itself states that government must not adopt any religion as state religion. Even the penal codes exempts non- Muslims from being subjected to sharia penal codes.


But well, in Nigeria, anything goes- the laws are made by the rich for the poor alone to obey.

It because of the arrogance of the Fulanis, they feel they own the whole country and can go to other people's lands and behave anyhow they like in the name of one Nigeria, but control and restrict others that come to their lands.

Sharia law was supposed to be on the same level as customary law. It should only apply to people that subscribe to that custom or Religion. It should only cover civil matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, etc. But it is veering into criminal matters.

The annoying aspect is that they are only obsessed with sales and consumption of alcohol, probably because most people that sell alcohol are southerners. They are not interested in the selling of drugs such as Marijuana, codeine, tramadol, etc which are mainly sold and consumed by northerners themselves, and is a far bigger problem than alcohol.

Anyway, as a niger-deltan, I will not advice my people to go anywhere near the north outside Abuja.

IamWonderful:
Which specific people are you talking about? priest? Kings? haven't you read

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. And mind you there is difference between fermented vine and unfermented juice, so trying attribute and claim what you weren't there is mischievous.

You people talk rubbish in order to propagate your personal doctrine. What do you mean by unfermented juice? Do you even understand what fermentation means? The minute you squeeze juice out of its fruit, it starts fermenting. My wife who has very little alcohol tolerance has gotten tipsy on zobo she made and left in the fridge for 2 days. How did ancient Jews during the time of Jesus and even after unferment grape juice?

Inkling:
If it is only alcohol I will not have issue with Hisbah but arresting people because of their hair style, arresting keke with Naira Marley sticker is absurd. My brother reason am now... We are in 21st century.

They can arrest Muslims but they should leave other religion to enjoy their freedom. Those free minds outside there will be living in boundage. What is bad is bad bro

Why will you not have issue with alcohol? Don't you know that we niger-deltans don't joke with our kai-kai? It's part and parcel of our culture and religion. Ask former President Jonathan.

ItsTutsi:
lol.. the Amotekun and ESN the south created against the FG directives, are they superior to Federal law!?!?

the ban on open grazing the south governors passed.. which Federal law did they follow to effect it??

All you are doing is justifying imposing your religion on other people who don't share your beliefs in a so called secular country.

The ban on open grazing, Amotekun and ESN came into being, because the FG abdicated it's responsibly of providing security for lives and property. If the police and security forces did their jobs and stopped the killing of farmers and destruction of farmlands, there would be no need for ban on open grazing, Amotekun and ESN.

Now tell the the purpose of imposing an alcohol ban on non Muslims, apart from trying to convert them by force.

NeoWanZaeed:
Exactly my point. . Una n0 dey follow ur fake bible

And the bible you follow is the original bible? I am sorry to say, but you sound like one of those brainwashed illiterate religious fundamentalist.

My apology, I did not realise I was debating with a Muslim fundamentalist. After looking at your posts, I realise I should not be wasting my time in attempting to argue logically with you.

NeoWanZaeed:
Allow? On what basis? If i may ask

On the basis of their personal, sectarian or denominational beliefs.

NeoWanZaeed:
The point is. As a christian, em n0 suppose dey drink . But christians are defending the man as if its n0rmal for christians to dey drink beer

It's only you evangelicals that are against the drinking if alcohol, many other Christian denominations allow the drinking of alcohol. So stop forcing your own doctrine on others. You are behaving like Boko Haram or ISIS.

systematica:
For those defending christianity, what is our association with beer. Even the bible is against beer consumption. Whoever wrote this should be ashamed of him or herself being a Christian.

That is your personal or doctrinal point of view. You cannot impose your own personal doctrines on others. Some christian doctrines allow the drinking of alcohol.

ItsTutsi:
its against the constitution of kano State!!!

The constitution of Nigeria is superior to the constitution of kano state. So unless Kanu elects to leave Nigeria, it must be subservient to the Nigerian constitution.

but if we want to tow ur line and argue base on ur point, then the constitution doesn't also recognize regional security outfits like Amotekun and ESN.. why did the south insist on it!?!

Likewise, if the law creating Amotekun and ESN run contrary to the Nigerian constitution, then it too is null and void.

Besides, the objectives of Amotekun is to stop the senseless killing and kidnapping of farmers and destroying their crops. It was not specifically created for religious purposes.

and I'm not against the ban on open grazing as long as it will bring peace and has no sinister agenda.. the governor's have the right to make law and regulation that will bring peace and development to their state

But the law and regulations must be in concordance with the Nigerian constitution.
