Religion has the same effect and highs as taking cocaine. Nothing more, nothing less. It's all starts and dies in the feelings.

OP will learn not to waste his life couple of years down the lane when he is overtaken by poverty.

Exactly! That's why a society that's gets high on religion simultaneously also gets high on hard drugs like cocaine, marijuana, codine, etc. Eg highly religious South American countries are the headquarters of hard drug. Even Taliban ruled Afghanistan is the epicentre of cocaine trade and use in Asia. Meanwhile, less religious countries like China have little drug problems.

David0002:
I really thank God for giving me the gift of speaking in tongues, ever since then, my prayer life has changed. Now I can pray for 3 hours, 4 hours without getting tired.

I still remember 31st of may, 2024. It is a day I will never forget. I didn't even dream that I will ever speak in tongues, I never prayed about it, infact I was not expecting it.

Let me tell you you truth, initially, I hated the idea of praying in tongues, I thought it was not possible, I thought it was scam, I thought that people were just speaking anything that comes out of their mouth. It was because I have prayed earnestly for it before that God should give me this gift and enable me to pray in tongues, but I didn't see it forth-coming. I prayed seriously for it, read books that dealth on Holy Ghost baptism, exercised my faith, opened my mouth for God to fill it, yet nothing happened, so I gave up the idea and stopped praying about it. But little did I know that God heard the prayer and was waiting for the appointed time to bring it to manifestation.

On that day, I was hungry to just praise and worship God and nothing more. Once it was 4.pm in the evening, I started with praise. I praised God for a very long time.

After I was true with praise, I entered into deep worship song. I worship God with songs with all my heart for a very long time.

When I was true with worshipping God with songs, I entered into a prayer of praise and. I began to call God sweet names, I was calling Him by His attributes praising and and worshipping Him. Then I became tired. I decided to sit down because I have been standing for over one hour.

As I sat down, I felt a sensation in my body, from that moment, I knew in my spirit that something was about to happen, and it happened.

Immediately something began to move from my body, immediately, it came to my mouth. Before I knew it, my mouth opened, I started to speak in tongues or pray in tongues. It was so powerful. It was like rivers of living water flowing out of my belly.

For almost 45 minutes, I was praying in tongues as the Holy Spirit gave me utterance. It was so great. It was lovely. It was so much that it didn't want to stop. It was like borehole water that doesn't finish, infact I have to force myself to stop it.

After that encounter, my prayer life has never remained the same. I can now pray for longer hours like 3 hours, 4 hours without getting tired. Before I received the gift of tongues, I could only pray for 30 minutes to 1 hour before getting tired or running out of words.

It has reached to the extent of whenever I want to pray but don't know what to pray, I will pray a simple prayer and tell God that I want to pray in tongues that the Holy Spirit should possess my lips, and that the Holy Spirit should pray through me. Immediately, my lips will open and I will start praying in tongues. God is alive, and He answers prayer. My prayer life have changed since then. Infact I am addicted to prayer. It is burning inside of me. Any day that passes without me praying is like I want to die. I can't survive without prayer.

My fellow pastor, evangelist, brother, sister, desire this gift of praying in tongues. It is more powerful and effective than praying with your understanding. By praying in tongues, you don't know what you are praying. But in the spirit, you are speaking mysteries. As you are praying in tongues, God can use your prayer and heal someone in China. Your prayer can travel to India, Japan, U.S.A, London, even to your village etc and lose someone in bondage.

I plead with you, desire this gift more than anything else. Remember, prayer is a powerful weapon. With it, you can touch anybody around the world right on your knees.

Good morning and have a pleasant day.

Happy Sunday.

Imagine working or learning a skill fervently for 3 to 4 hours everyday, I am sure you will be a millionaire not just in Naira but also in dollars by now. As the saying goes "Two hands working can do more work than a thousand clasp in prayer" and speaking in tongues.

Anyway, all is about Oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. These are happy or feel good hormones released into the brain when you undertake certain actions or consume certain substances. Some people release these happy hormones by dancing and night clubbing, others use psychotic substances like cannabis or alcohol to get happy or high, others still use meditation, prayer or trance to get their dose of happy hormones.

The problem with all these is that these methods of getting happy and high are very addictive and once you are hooked, you always long to get high again. Then on waking up you hit your low, and then the need to get high once again. In all these your situation or condition the same or even worse.

Dude you hate Trump we get it. You didn't know about this guys story initially. Me too I doubted but I leaned towards it is highly likely he was almost assassinated because this is not the kind of crap someone will fake. It will be suicidal to fake this kind of thing.

Even though I doubted the assassination when the news first broke, I rushed to make my doubts known. I don't Trust anything coming from Trump. With more information coming out, I then lean toward believing it was an actual assassination attempt. I recant my initial stance and admitted my error. But there is now the nagging question of fatal failures on the part of the Police and secret service. Why did the US security services fail so woefully? Was in deliberate or a failure. In todays America, is it so easy to shoot a presidential candidate or any other high profile politician?
We await the full investigations.

Most of the things you will hear about trump as lies the media wants you to believe. Your I don't trust trump is based on he is not a Democrat. You won't trust DeSantis or Jesus if he was the Republican flag carrier

I have hated Trump since the 1990s. I was introduced to Trump around 1995 by a very good friend. Even then my friend idolised Donald Trump. He gave me his book "the art of the deal" to read. I disagreed with his business philosophy. I followed him from that time till he ran for president. I even followed his then wife, late Ivanna Trump. She said some bad things about Trump and their marriage.
Trump personality, morals and philosophies are opposite to mine.

About hating Republicans, I was a fan of Ronald Reagan. I believe he espoused republican values than any republican alive today including Trump.

Bystanders saw the shooter on the roof top with a rifle. The bystanders tried to call the attention of the police and even the secret service more than 5 minutes before the actual shooting, they simply ignored them. So doubting Thomases like us had basis to doubt the assassination attempt.

Laurene:
Just shut it OK

You guys are despicable. You cannot take 5% of what you guys dish out. If it was president Biden that was shut, you guys would spew numerous conspiracy theories and claim it was stage. I initially suspected this was a set up, but, with more information and even before investigations commence, I immediately changed my mind and accepted that Trump barely survived an assassination attempt. Till till today, you guys claim Nancy Pelosi's husband's attack was a set up or that it was some other shit other than an attack on his life.

bemeruca:
They communicate, shooter was killed

I watched the shooting scene from numerous angles and in slow motion. I can confirm it was indeed a real shot and the bullet did graze Trump's ears and hit the young woman behind.

So apologies to Trump's supporters and MAGA.
I am always suspicious of Trump.

PDPGuy:
Why did the Secret Service allow Trump to give a fist pump? In such a situation, you gotta evacuate the injured person as quick as possible!

Hoping for the best for Trump

I might be wrong probably because of my serious distrust for Trump, but this looks more like a set up to elicit sympathy for Trump among independents and fire up the base to a state of frenzy.
I believe Trump is desperate to use any scheme and lies to win the presidency.

Anyway let us all wait for the official police and secret service reports before we make any judgement.

bemeruca:
Lol, I think he was cleared to stand when the situation was under control. But I get your point which is why I thought it was not real in the first place but this is a legit attempt on his life

How did they know the situation was under control that fast, when they were clueless enough to allow the shooter fire a few shots at the former president? How can they know how many shooters were involved?
A truly professional assassination of such a high profile target would require at least 3 shooters for triangulation.

vanitybutiwanti:
shut the fhuck up with the ijaw claptrap, I'm 100% ijaw, fubara that claims to be ijaw can not speak the ijaw language, he speaks the corrupted igbo language, fubara destroyed a peaceful political family, nobody is asking anybody to be a house boy, if he wasn't a wicked man when the crisis broke out, as the governor and a leader of the state , what stopped him from reaching out to stakeholders and making peace across board? If not for anything just for remembering the hardwork the family put in to make him governor?

I deliberately put the reference to Fubara being Ijaw to draw haters out of the woodwork. You hate Fubara because he cannot speak the Ijaw language abi? And you claim to be ijaw. How many Ijaws have been Governor of Rivers State since 1999? Then you want the first ijaw governor to be lame duck governor answerable to an ikwerre man. You and Wike will open mouth and claim you fought against Atiku because of fairness and equity in power distribution. Hypocrites.

You don't seem to understand the game of thrones. You use whatever advantage or tool you can get to obtain power, once you obtain power, you become powerful enough to discard anyone that antagonise you. Tinubu is a perfect master in the game of thrones. He used key northerners like El Rufai to obtain power from the northerners, once he got that power he discarded them like used sanitary pads.

Who created the crisis that broke out and why? Can you as an Ijaw man that you claim allow your powers as an executive governor to be usurped by another person? Can you allow all your cabinet members and aids to be appointed by another person without your approval? Can you allow the state resources captured by another person, meanwhile if the administration fails, your name will be called.

vanitybutiwanti:
return the house to the way he met it, he's a confusionist and a wicked man, he divided a peaceful family

What do you mean return the house the way he met it? You mean he should just agree to be sitting duck for wike and his 27 goons. What do you mean by peaceful family? Peaceful family that wants a whole governor to become houseboy to Wike? Peaceful family that threatened to impeach the governor barely 6 months in office?

Fubara is an Ijaw man, and the Ijaws are not known to cower before anyone.

Charly68:
If you don't support my suggestion,then you can proffer a better solution to the imbroglio ...

My own suggestion is that Fubara should damn the consequences and exert his full authority as the chief executive of River's state. As the saying goes a coward dies a thousand times, the brave only dies once. If Wike can impeach him so be it, but Fubara would stand tall with his dignity intact. He will not be the first to be impeached and would not be the last. Tinubu got the fame and power he command today by being brave and fearless to confront federal power when other Southwest governors cowered to Obasanjo.

Charly68:
Your Excellency ; I beg you in the name of God ,do the needful to prevent a state of anarchy in the land. Your refusal may lead to your impeachment and heaven won't fall if they do that. You are the one that will lose at the end .. Call everyone together and speak with them as a leader. The situation you are in requires wisdom to handle

What do you suggest Fubara do in order to prevent a state of anarchy in Rivers? Hand over executive powers to Wike, or you expect him to allow wike appoint all his commissioners and aids including his girlfriend or olosho?

Wike is not the first governor of Rivers State and he is not the first godfather in Nigerian politics, but wike threatening anarchy in a state he was a governor is tantamount to terrorism.

weyreypey:
PDP national legal adviser or rep says they're members of PDP. Bring their letter of resignation and membership cards of another party

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFHyKgBbLmI?feature=shared

Wike and his supporters are shameless. They have zero integrity and honour.

weyreypey:
Fubara should avoid impeachment. If he's impeached he's not coming back

If he does not hit Wike and his 27 goons hard, there is no way of avoiding impeachment. He cannot afford to allow the 27 Wike goons take control of the house. Wike is only relying on federal might.

adioolayi:


Na Political solution they will all resort to laslas...


If care is not taken, as e dey go so, these lawmakers will impeach Gov. Fubara (We can argue it will be an illegal way of impeachment, but it will be done) and it will be enforced by the security agencies....the Gov. will then have to go through the courts to the Supreme court to vacate the impeachment and he will win, but would have been out of government for some years.

The case of former Governor of OYO State Rasheed Ladoja comes to mind...same as Peter Obi sef.

"Illegal Impeachment loading"

Now according to your argument of representing the budget, if Fubara is impeached and a new government is sworn in, then the impeachment is later declared illegal by the supreme court, will all budgets presented by the government during the illegal impeach be represented? Or if a government is sworn in after a rigged elections and the courts later declares another candidate governor, will all previous official decisions carried out by the illegal government be reversed?

VinnyBaba:
Funny Enough, I just Discovered you are the ONLY person that made a Sensible comment. 🤔👍👍

because that Outfit does not look like one for Mechanics. 😒

And Honestly the Outfit too, does NOT look bad on him.🤨

That is somebody's daddy or even granddaddy for god sake. To make matters worse, he is a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is dressing like a teenager who just hit some cash and need to showoff. The only thing missing is bling-bling and we will mistake him for a rapper.

I must be the ignorant one here. I had thought that to create additional states in Nigeria requires constitutional amendment and not just an act of the national assembly. Can lawyers in the house please educate me.

Tranquillity360:
una too dey Mumu with una lies with hope to make people believe it the truth.



So Gowon and prison warders dey wear the same clothes.



Because you got video of awolowo meeting Gowon,a man he meets steady and worked with for many years,it becomes he was released by him.



Which prison did Northerners send awolowo?

Which region is the prison?

Who was in charge of the region?

Did the region recognize Gowon as head of state and take orders from him?



Answer the question above, there lies your answer.

IPOB youth are the dumbest people in the universe. Even in the face of visible evidence they continue to promote lies and propaganda without even bothering to provide a shred of evidence.

I will overwhelm them with more evidence. Even if they choose to continue spewing their lies, no one will take them serious.


For IPOB information, Calabar prison was a federal prison. Awolowo, Enahoro and others were jailed for Treason, which is a federal crime.

Here are more physical evidence of newspaper reports on the day Gowon Released Awolowo from Calabar prison.
The first screenshot is a newspaper report from Newyork Times.

The second is an enlarged part of the Newyork Times report highlighting that Gowon released Awolowo.

The third one is the actual Gazette of the pardon of Awolowo, Enahoro and others by General Gowon.

Oya, provide your own proof of Ojukwu releasing Awolowo.

Tranquillity360:
You must be ungrateful Yoruba Muslim to believe Ojukwu did not release awolowo.

You IPOB youths create most of the problems for reasonable igbo people. You guys spew baseless propaganda up and down. Lies that a simple Google or YouTube search can debunk.

There are videos and reports of Awolowo's release by General Gowon on the internet even here on nairaland, but you guys love repeating the lies that It was Ojukwu that release Awolowo.

aywagze:
they now think they are better than other Nigerians so they deserve a different hospital ..🤔

But they were supposed to be representatives of the Nigerian peoples. It is now obvious members of the national assembly go to the Senate and house to represent themselves. They want to provide health care for themselves and not the Nigerian people.

bmaster2000:
Do you know how many people who come from Kwara , Ekiti, Ondo Osun, Oyo to Lagos before travelling abroad....this will be a succour to them ....it might not be applicable to you but why cant you allow people who suffer this long distance to Lagos before travelling abroad enjoys this benefits....
We have port Harcourt airport, Sam Mbawe, Biam Akanu, Margret Ekpo and many more in the east and south south , and aside Ahmadu Bello , Nnmadi Azikwe , Kaduna international airport and many more in the north
Aside murittala iMuhammed International airport in the west ....mention one international airport you know in Yoruba land ...yet we are educated , industrious and well travelled ....
This is a well thought off project that will put smile to the faces of most travellers in the region and Ibandan is always the middles and meeting point for all Yoruba race ....since the ancient days ....

I'm sure this is reason some of these our poto poto brother wants Tinubu out of the office so that the development can continue in their region while other regions will be left in struggle....
I will advice the Tinubu government to do the work with speed ....

You fail to address Mrvitalis concerns of the number of passengers that is expected to us the proposed international airport.
How many passengers use even the lagos international airport yearly? How many Nigerians travel out and how many Nigerians come into Nigerians through the airports? Airports should not be a pride contest but a commercial venture. Airports are very expensive to build (particularly in this part of the world) and maintain. All our airports presently are poorly maintained, with no power, poor baggage handling, bad runways and faulty and archaic air traffic equipment, and you want to add more.
Are any of our airports operating at a profit, aside the Lagos Local airport? How do you intend to repay the loan that will be uses to build the airport?

mrvitalis:
Any airport that has less than 100,000 passengers yearly is what we want to waste money on now

Seems Nigerians and APC lead leadership don't know how bad our finances are

Sometimes I blame those giving us loans

Imagine building another airport that will be less than 150 km from Lagos airport that is even under utilised.
Would a fast train from the airport linking the rail line along the Oshodi axis straight to Ibadan not be a more sensible option?

Maybe we should be building an international airport every 150km.

Biodun556:
The judiciary can nullify act of parliament through the power of judicial review

That is if the act is contrary to the provisions of the constitution. Is the act nullifying the act previously enacted by Kano state House of Assembly against the Nigerian constitution?

Samtob90:
Haba, tell reasonable lies you can defend now. You remember when 5 lawmakers used to impeach governors? You remember governor being kidnapped, you forgot do or die election?

In Nigeria a driver or gate man can harrass a governor, all he needs us Federal Might. That's was why an ordinary citizen, Chris Uba, could orchestrate the kidnap of a sitting governor, that was why wike could harrass Amaechi with the police as sitting governor, that was why Sanusi was removed and banished despite a pending court order, and is why Ado Bayero is walking the streets of Kano with military escort, after being dethroned and banished by the Kano State government.

Truth be told, I support Trump deporting most Nigerians from the US, particularly those that have held political offices along with their family.
Nigerians politicians have the mindset that they can mess up the country and japa to the US with their loot to live a peaceful life.

Chiefpriestt:
Trump is better than Biden in terms of leadership l, I see him coming back to the whit house

Which leadership? How many people has he led in the past? Has he led his wife, children and extended family? How many subordinates or staff that worked under him think he is a leader? Trump is just an open outlet for poor or poorly educated white men to vent their anger those they feel is responsible for their sorry state.
Republicans seeking to run for election support Trump in order to get nomination on the platformof the party.

flyinnizam:
kind of me but I don't waste time pricing, i will just tell u what I can pay and collect the product or move

The problem with that is price is not static in Nigeria. Price change per week, sometimes per day, depending on season, availability and lots of other extraneous factors. Even the way you dress, the way you talk and the car you drive might determine price.

natedensel:
Is it just me or it's same with other guys, the embarrassment I feel is as if I'm the one doing something embarrassing, and I can't help the feeling, because of that I shy away from buying foodstuff or other stuff that will make me bargain.

Most times I ask my sisters or girlfriend to accompany me so she can do the bargaining or get the stuff for me.

My older brother bargains alot like he can't do without bargaining and for that I avoid going anywhere with him.

Incase you're wondering how I survive without bargaining, I just use people close to me when its something I must bargain for, but if it's something like clothes, I know the standard price for stuff like that so I just make an offer, and for basic things like packaged groceries I buy from supermarkets in more than one quantity.

My own case is the opposite, my wife begs me to accompany her to market because I sabi price pass her. Something she go buy for 5k, me I fit buy am for 4k or even 3.5k. Me wey don dey follow my mama go market since 12 na him go dey shame to price for market? Even so now wey na mine hard earned money?

EmmyMaestro:
Religion has its place, but God will not do for you what he has given you the ability to do.

Even in the Bible, God provided manna for the Israelites all they had to do was to go out with their pots and garther what they needed not to sit in your tents and pray for the thing to jump into your mouth

How many times God provided manna in the bible? Is it because Nigerians are waiting for God to provide manna that they waste most of their productive lives in church praying and fasting?

Pootle:
no mind am it was clear penalty there was contact enough for any referee to give....the mind set that late penalties are dubious and trying to favor the home side has damage the league but the replay show clear contact, the stadium was great, stewards where overwhelm, organization was ok if not for the last minute drama. good chunk of point need to be deducted from eyimba as a detriment to others to avoid doing this rubbish again

It was not a penalty. Although I believe the referee could be mistaken due to his vantage point. If VAR was uses it would have been more obvious.
If you play the video in slow motion, you will see that the attacker went down easily even before the sleeve of his shirt was tugged. It was more of diving than a penalty.

piehorse:
Jesus never came to this world to give you success.

He only came to redeem us to God.
Funny you even added paying tithe and offerings to be successful. Fucking clowns


Success is for those who work towards it regardless of faith. Work hard first then God in his mercy will bless the work of thy hands regardless of faith (even an atheist)

Don't mind them, they are just tools for propagating the false doctrine of "salvation according tithes and offerings " by con men disgusting as men of God.

Below is a chart of the average income of the various religious groups in the US. The richest group are the Jews, followed by the Hindus. Atheists are fifth in the chart? What does that tell you?, that salvation according tithes and offerings is false and without any data to back it up.
