Dr Cairo that was alledged to have paid money for students scholarship into his personal account while students on scholarship are suffering is blowing hot , imagine the effrontery, it can only be in Nigeria. In sane climes Cairo Should be in jail by now. Cairo is a born thief, whose only aim in NDDC is to loot. 81billion gone in 4 months with no visible project and then your priority is past leaders while you are presently worse. I thank God for wisdom of Joy Nunieh not to succumb to the looters theatrics.

Sometimes I just imagine that those figures are not real but these is reality, how can a nation be this rich yet we have very poor population??.

How can a region be this blessed yet majority of the villages don't have portable drinking water??
Most of those oil communities do not have primary schools, health centres or portable water (not even bore holes ), and yet someone will tell me our problems are caused by northerners.

You still haven't made any strong point.

America has 52 states, why are they not poor?

Having many States is not the reason for Nigeria's underdevelopment. Nigeria's problem is revenue based, the country is making too little money to effectively function.
The states don't rely on oil revenue from a fews states to survive.

Where is the money to run all these useless states coming from? It's a huge drain on the resources of this country running the executive (with civil service), legislative and judiciary of 36 states. Nigeria should contain not more than 6 states. The reason why there was rapid development during the short first Republic was that we only had 4 Regions. Imagine the premier of the western region (comprising of 6 states today) was run by just one executive (with less than 10 commissioners), one legislature (with less than 20 house members and just one judiciary. Even thought there was less revenue available then, the little there was was enough to fund free education and infrastructure.

Mr,Op you are totally wrong,creation of state has helped in the development of areas in Nigeria
example;Akwa Ibom was a forest when it was with Cross river because it was considered as bedroom then but it has now opened up with many towns seeing good things
False. What helped Akwa Ibom was getting a greater share of the national cake. It went from getting just peanuts from the federation account to being the richest recipient of oil revenue (among the states). There is now enough money to satisfy the greed of the politicians and a little left for some capital projects. But, Akwa Ibom should be doing much better given its small population and small landmass.

Despite the 36 states , there are still agitations for more states, and if those request are granted there would be at least 20 new states with 20 new international airports and other infrastructures. It is simply detrimental.
States agitations are more about the jostle for more oil resources. The various tribes - especially the big 3 see states as getting more share of the national cake.

Why should unborn babies matter to them? If you care about them, what's stopping you from going out to the streets to protest or do you really believe your plea or wishes here on Nl will change anything?
Unborn babies matter to you, yet I wonder what help you've given to those who were actually born and are still living.
Besides, shouldn't the unborn babies be happy? What better parent can one have, if not the heavenly father himself?
Don't mind them. They are the Christian version of Boko Haram.
They want to use force and threats to chrisianise the whole world, just like boko haram wants to islamise the whole world using force.

They fight against science and education, and instead insist on replacing science with the bible. Need I tell you the meaning of boko haram?

They follow sheepishly a deranged, racist and misogynistic leader, purporting to cleanse the world of evil and establish God's laws, but in reality it's all about political power. Boko Haram follows al Baghdadi and Shekau.

All these anti abortion campaigns and protests (sometimes violent) is all about punishing women (and their babies) for engaging in sexual immorality (according to their religion). They would never answer the question of what happens to a baby born as a result of sexual immorality and not love? How come they are not protesting for government and Christians in general who hate abortion in whatever guise to start adopting abandoned and unwanted babies?
There are virtually hundreds of abandoned or unwanted children around them. If every anti abortionist promise to take athe least one unwanted baby from a mother who doesn't want it, then they have a moral justification to start burning down abortion clinics. But, not to have a thought at all for millions of unwanted babies and children, but care about only the pregnancy in itself is cruel.

Uncle, not everyone is like you. Some of us are noble at heart. And yes, God will bless us tithers abundantly. Because no word goes out of His mouth and returns void.
And you think God does not also bless us non tithers abundantly? Out of the 100 richest men in the world, I doubt you will find 1 tither.

Those Bible quotes are all related to tithes, addressing both the priests and the people. And yes, Malachi 3 was for the priests stealing the tithes and offering the people brought to God.

Moreover, even priests pay tithe. You can see it referenced in the last chapter I wrote.

"Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes"

I'm not here to argue about what a pastor said or not. I'm here to let you guys know that it is in the right order to pay tithes.

Now read 1 Corin 16:1-2 and tell me your thoughts.

Please, it's the last time I'm replying any mentions.
False doctrine. I know you have been conditioned to believe your salvation is tied to tithes. So I don't expect you to see reason concerning it.

Christ did not come to preach tithes, he never required anyone's tithes, he never taught his disciples to preach tithes.

Christianity is about charity, free giving and empathy for the poor and under privileged. It's not bet9ja where wager money in expectations of a jackpot. It only makes the house (bet9ja or pastor/church ) richer, while the people get poor, with some getting addicted to the wagering itself.

Genesis 28:20-22
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, so that I come back to my father’s house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God. And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.”
He was made a personal vow, he was not threatened with hell and curses to pay tithes.
Genesis 14:18-20
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said:
"Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tithe of all.
Abraham paid the tithe during the meal when he was hosted by Melchizedek. He paid tithes because God delivered his enemies into his hand. Abraham did not pay tithes for life.
Matthew 23:23
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
Keyword, weightier matters. According to Christ Justice, Mercy and faith are more important than tithe. You guys have been brainwashed to believe that the most important thing in Christianity is tithes, and your salvation lies in tithes. A

Numbers 18:21
“Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting.
Are Nigerian pastors children of Levi? Is the tribe of Levi even still in existence?

Psalm 24:1
The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
What has this got to do with tithes.

Psalm 50:12
“If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
God is hungry and requires your tithe to eat? I don't understand.

Haggai 2:8
‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts.
How does this relate to tithes by threats

Malachi 3:8-12
"Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
"In what way have we robbed You?"
In tithes and offerings.
You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,"
Says the LORD of hosts,
"If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
'And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,'
Says the LORD of hosts;
And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be a delightful land,”
Says the LORD of hosts.
Why not start from Malachi 2 instead of reading Malachi 3 in isolation? The instruction of Malachi was for priests and not for everybody.

MALACHI 2
And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.

2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.

6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.

7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

A Russian woman who plotted to infiltrate conservative political circles and open back channel lines of communication as part of an unofficial influence campaign was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Friday.

12 Russian Agents Indicted in Mueller Investigation
WASHINGTON — The special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election issued an indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers on Friday in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton presidential campaign. The indictment came only three days before President Trump was planning to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in Helsinki, Finland.

The 29-page indictment is the most detailed accusation by the American government to date of the Russian government’s interference in the 2016 election, and it includes a litany of brazen Russian subterfuge operations meant to foment chaos in the months before Election Day.

It goes beyond Christianity. It's a carryover belief from our traditional African religion, that was incorporated into Christianity. In our traditional religions, you need to give the diety something tangible before you are eligible to receive blessings - be it animal sacrifice, human sacrifice, a valuable item or money. The new christian doctrine just eliminated all other sacrifices and insist on cash. The sacrifice has been couched in tithes and offerings. Of course, all these are for the benefit of the priest.

Such quid pro quo messages did not resonate with European and Jews, who were the originators of Christianity.

Now let's skip Bishop talk, personally, I born into a Christian family, my mom is a tithe freak I mean she's a chronic tither. I grew up seeing this and how it's has work for her. beware am not saying this to rise debate among people who seems to know but know nothing. most people here are evidence of this Romans 1:18-21. OK back to my story, seeing mum every Sunday wrapping her tithe made me to ask her as a little boy if this so called tithe is essentially in a Christian anticipating for God's open doors. that day she tutor me and tell me how God do bless immersible after paying her tithe. I was in awe not until I went to school. when ever I get back to school from weekend I didn't pay Not tithe do you know the little money I was given from home fly like it's has wings. with in an eye brink am broke again but if pay my tithe, the no. of doors that will be open for me even in school I will be like God is it how this tithe of thing work. some one sent my mum airtime about 1k do you know she pay that tithe, 1OO, can you imagine so I mimick that a friend of mine sent me 5h card I close my eyes and pay 5O, as tithe the next week I received another airtime of the previous amount. see tomorrow I will be paying the tithe. I have seen lots of naïve who knows nothing about tithe bashing it with out any insight, making thier claims base on what people say, and which is very wrong. you don't talk what you don't know. see tithing opens door you can't come and preach to me that's it's bad reason because have seen and partake of its blessing. so all this comment and trolls that's this guys are saying is because they see this pastors raiding in exotics cars, living flamboyantly and assume it's the tithe that's is been paid to the pastor. do you know tithe are not given to pastor but God, some of those tifhe are send to missionary doing God's work I the rulers areas to support their well being. my question is do you think doing God's work is a curse, no! it's not a curse rather God will bless you. some one might say, there are fake pastor alright, that's why as Christians we ask God for discernment so that you won't pay to the wrong person. if you can give to the society of help God why and what's stopping you from giving to God. let's me drop this pen cause I got lot of facts to school this newbie about tithing, like I warn I don't care about your trolls all I care is, 'hope read all, you can take it or fake it' but remember paying your tithe pays

shalom !!!!
You and your mum are tithe freaks, but depend on your dad and others (who most likely do not pay tithe), to receive blessings. Imagine needing other people's money to buy ordinary recharge card. Some of us hate begging others for survival.

There is no substitute to acquisition of a skill, hard work and creating value. If you do these, tithe or not, you will be successful.

As i type this i feel sad for how our country has been brainwashed to live in mental shackles and to believe thr leaders are right to steal while thr fustrated youths should all be locked up for trying to survive. What a shame.
Even though Magu's alleged crime is more serious than this young kids own, the boys crime is easier to convict and with harsher punishment according to the law.

Magu's crime is against Nigeria, but the boy's crime is against the almighty USA. The FBI did the investigations, and provided evidence to the EFCC. Magu's crimes will be investigated by Nigeria's incompetent investigative bodies like the Police and the new Justice Salami's panel. Nigeria cannot be seen to be soft of internet fraudster and there is an agreement with the US government to go after Yahoo boys.

Magu has the power and connection to hire SANs to defend him, the little boy has probably a charge and bail lawyer.

I challenge anyone to publish figures that show that the profit (which is what really matters) that accrues to Nigeria from this $206m sales in the last 5 years is more than $80-100m.


We are a dead poor country because our government is poor. Our governments are poor because we focus our energy on oil as if oil is the basis of our economy. Our GDP is approx $450m, oil only accounts for about 10%. One of the reasons we are poor is that govt focuses on the oil sector for revenue and largely ignores the other 90%
I completely agree with you that Nigeria is indeed a very poor country, and i am also aware that our oil earning (official) is often exaggerated. Most times I am not sure if the figures quoted are profits or turnover (sales).

Having said that, calculating our actual GDP is very complex. This is because a lot of our economy is informal and can never be captured by data. How do you calculate the okada rider, the kabu kabu driver who is not captured by any data? How do you make provisions for the billions of dollars or funds sent by families and loved ones from abroad? Incoming passengers physically import lots of undeclared foreign currency that is not captured by data.

Then there is the billions of dollars earned by Nigerians as a result of crime - drugs and scams. I would not even be surprised if Nigeria's highest foreign exchange earner is crime. If one person Hushpupi could be worth tens of millions of dollars due to scam, imagine what all the millions of scammers in and out of nigeria are worth. Then add to that the earnings from drugs, human trafficking and prostitution. I am sure the total figures would be tens of billions yearly. There are thousands of young guys living both in Nigeria, living opulent lives solely on scams or 419.

Bros it's just 125 dollars per each Nigerian in 5 years ...it's literally nothing

70% of that money u use it to pay ...civil servants ,police , army , navy , subsidize University , fight Boko Haram and about 20% is eaten by politicians .. the rest 10% is what u see as roads ,few light u have
They just don't understand that we are actually very poor. Imagine just $206 billion in 5 years for a population of 200 million.
That's just $206 per person per year. That's is even not taking into consideration that over 20% of that money is used for debt servicing. Out of the remaining money, 70 is spent by about 1% of the rolling elites - civil servants and political office holders, and then the remaining 30% is supposed to be spent for the rest of the masses (capital expenditure ), of which half is also embezzled by politicians.

So in the end, the masses end up with nothing.
